Short filmTranscript
00:01on the night my husband died saving me his last words were if there is a next life leave me
00:07be
00:07with Jade so when I woke up back on the day I begged my father to let me marry him
00:15I chose
00:15someone else instead my first mating ceremony with Vincent I learned the true weight of hatred
00:23before the silver moon god princess Lydia and beta Vincent shall mark one another
00:29bite the neck and seal your bond as mates till death do you part my heart pounded so hard I
00:37could
00:37hear it in my ears I stepped forward my legs barely supporting me and leaned toward Vincent's neck a
00:43silver moon mark appeared on his wrist the first sign that the bond was forming that the goddess
00:47had blessed our union Vincent lowered his head as if to return the gesture but he did not bite me
00:53and then he whispered you forced Jade to marry the alpha of the snow wolf pack and now you're
00:58forcing me to mate with you I hate you Lydia I will never love you I froze the hopeful smile
01:05on
01:06my face slowly disappeared replaced by shock and heartbreak so profound I thought I might shatter
01:10into pieces right there on the altar Vincent straightened the silver moon mark on his wrist
01:15the mark that should have bound us together for eternity shattered into fragments of light and
01:19faded away without another word he turned and walked away from the altar I called after him my
01:27voice breaking but he didn't turn around he didn't even slow down I stood there in my beautiful silver
01:33gray gown surrounded by hundreds of staring eyes and felt my world collapse Vincent loved my stepsister
01:39he always had and I was just the woman standing in their way that night while I stood humiliated at
01:45my
01:45own mating ceremony my stepsister Jade met a far worse fate in the snow wolf territory far from our
01:51forest Jade lay pinned to a glowing blood red magic circle several snow wolves clamped their jaws onto
01:56her arms and legs holding her down as she struggled in agony blood poured from her wounds as the ritual
02:01began the magic circle erupted with blinding crimson light around her the snow wolf clan stood in human
02:07form a silver moon crest appeared on each of their foreheads then shattered into glowing fragments and
02:12disappeared the curse that bound them the curse my ancestors had placed on them centuries ago
02:17had been lifted the snow wolves burst into tears of relief and joy but their expression soon turned
02:22cold as they looked down at Jade trembling on the ground one by one they transformed into wolves and
02:27descended upon her Jade screams echoed through the night as the pact wore her apart the snow wolves
02:32killed Jade on her arrival they drained her blood to cure their curse then they devoured her until nothing
02:38remained for eight years after that night hatred was all there was between Vincent and me we fought
02:43constantly we clashed in pack meetings in training in every aspect of our lives two wolves colliding
02:49in the violent fight over and over again me the silver gray him the dark brown we clawed and slammed
02:55into each other with savage force until one of us finally pinned the other usually it was him I would
03:00shift back into human form and press my hand against whatever wound I'd earned in the latest battle
03:04watching him disappear into the distance with tears filling my eyes eight years of hatred eight
03:08years of loving someone who would never love me back when the war with the snow wolves finally began
03:13Vincent swore to avenge Jade but the snow wolves were too strong and soon the forest was filled with
03:18the corpses of our kin I was in human form covered in wounds and surrounded by snow wolves closing in
03:23for the kill I had accepted my fate after eight years of misery death almost seemed like a relief
03:28suddenly a brown wolf burst through the pack it was Vincent he threw me onto his back
03:33and raced through the forest as the snow wolves pursued us I clung to his fur too weak and shocked
03:38to do anything else Vincent reached the ancient altar the same altar where we had almost become
03:43mates eight years ago and shifted into human form I slid down from his back struggling to stand
03:48without hesitation Vincent drew a blade and cut open his own chest blood poured down his body I stared at
03:55him in shock Vincent what are you doing drops of his blood fell onto the altar and a crimson magic
04:00circle
04:00appeared beneath my feet a transparent barrier rose around me sealing me inside I rushed forward and
04:06pounded against the barrier but it would not break I'm teleporting you out with my life
04:11considerate repayment for the years you loved me but if there is a next life leave me be with jaded
04:21I screamed but the snow wolves had arrived at the altar Vincent turned to face them alone the wolves
04:27leaped onto him and tore into his body claws ripped through flesh and blood splashed across the stone
04:31altar I slammed my fists against the barrier as my body slowly began to fade Vincent I never imagined you
04:39would die to save me if there truly is another life I will never chase after you again my body
04:44dissolved
04:45into light and disappeared within the magic circle a single tear mixed with blood fell onto the altar
04:50the crimson circle suddenly turned gold erupting with a brilliant light that flooded the forest
04:54I opened my eyes I was standing in the middle of the silver moon palace my father was looking down
05:00at
05:00me sullen and mighty and jade jade who should have been dead for eight years gazed at me with hatred
05:06wait I thought my mind reeling I'm actually back to the day when I begged father to make Vincent my
05:12mate
05:12Lydia my father said his voice heavy with authority the snow wolves demand a daughter of mine to mate
05:18with their alpha and lift the curse for them if we say no there will be a war we can't
05:24win
05:25are you still sure you are turning down the offer to marry Vincent I stared at him my heart pounding
05:31this is it this is the moment everything changes in my previous life I had insisted on marrying Vincent
05:38I had manipulated and begged and cried until my father gave in and what had it gotten me eight
05:43years of hatred eight years of misery and Vincent dying to save me only because he felt obligated no
05:49more father I've changed my mind I will fulfill my duty and marry the snow wolf alpha jade suddenly
05:58looked up staring at me in disbelief haven't you always wanted to marry Vincent what changed your mind
06:04what are you planning I met her gaze without flinching I'm not planning anything but I do
06:10have one condition my father's eyes narrowed with suspicion what condition keep it secret till the day
06:17of the mating ceremony a flicker of excitement crossed jade's face sure I have no problem with that
06:23consider it my repayment for Vincent saving my life in our last life I thought it will also be the
06:28final
06:29chapter between us and this one my father sighed very well in five days the two of you will hold
06:35their mating ceremonies with your destined partners I will have the preparations arranged
06:42I lowered my gaze with a bitter smile destined partners my father has never cared about my happiness
06:49between jade and me he has always favored the daughter my stepmother gave him the palace doors opened
06:54and I stepped outside the first thing I saw was Vincent kneeling in the pouring rain his back
06:58straight and unmoving it's him just like before even in this life he was here begging for jade on his
07:04knees in my previous life I had reacted with fury I had ordered him taken away had watched him struggle
07:11and scream as the attendants dragged him off I had made everything worse this time would be different
07:19I walked toward Vincent with an umbrella the rain pounding heavily around us he looked up at me
07:24frowning slightly then quickly looked away why are you here Vincent have you ever thought about
07:30something if jade doesn't go then the one who must go is me his expression remained cold as long as
07:39you don't interfere I can lead the army and conquer the snow wolf pack myself then neither of you will
07:46have
07:46to marry that brute I let out a soft almost amused laugh he still doesn't understand the snow wolves
07:53are too strong in my previous life they nearly destroyed us then I wish you will get what you
07:59wish for I let out a cold laugh and walked away from Vincent beneath my umbrella when he sees jade
08:04instead of me when the veil is lifted he will be so happy Vincent you saved my life in our
08:09last life
08:10in this one I've repaid that debt we are clear behind me I could feel this surprised stare on my
08:16retreating figure she used to always make a scene for this he was probably thinking why is she so calm
08:22today let him wonder it didn't matter anymore night fell and I sat on my bed preparing to sleep the
08:29events
08:29of the day had exhausted me emotionally even if my body wasn't tired being back in this time seeing
08:34Vincent so young and full of hatred for me it was harder than I had expected suddenly loud and chaotic
08:40pounding erupted at my door I frowned and walked over to open it the moment the door opened Vincent
08:45shoved me back against it his eyes glowed red and the heavy smell of alcohol clung to him Lydia why
08:52did
08:52you have to send jade to the snow wolf pack you you let the alpha to your order you manipulated
08:59the alpha
08:59to give the order Vincent let go you're hurting me the snow wolf pack has a blood feud with us
09:07they have suffered under the curse from our ancestors for centuries what do you think they
09:13will do to jade once the curses lift is that what you want you want your sister dead he tightened
09:20his
09:20grip on my shoulders his fingers digging into my flesh jealous vicious woman like you doesn't deserve
09:26anyone's love do you really think forcing me to mate with you will make me submert dream on
09:34i froze my eyes reddening as i stared at him in disbelief that look of hatred on his face it's
09:40exactly the same as the day we turned our swords against each other in our last life
09:44a bitter smile crossed my lips i lifted my hand and released a burst of magic Vincent was thrown several
09:50meters away crashing to the ground before barely managing to kneel blood dripped from the corner of
09:55his mouth Vincent don't forget your place he wiped the blood from his lips with his knuckle and
10:01looked up at me in stunned silence Vincent slowly stood the alcohol haze in his eyes faded slightly as
10:07his mind cleared he walked closer to me his gaze fell on the red mark along my neck the mark
10:12his grip
10:13had left his throat tightened and a flicker of regret crossed his eyes i pressed a hand against my shoulder
10:18biting back the pain as i stared at him i'm sorry i've had too much to drink i turned away
10:25from him
10:25my expression cold
10:29on the day of the mating ceremony you will get what you want now please leave i turned to go
10:33back inside
10:34his hand shot out and grabbed my wrist let me take you to the witch doctor she can treat your
10:39injury
10:40i glanced back his concern appeared genuine genuine concern or guilt memories flooded my mind unbidden i
10:49was young kneeling among a field of bright flowers picking a red blossom the pollen suddenly corroded my
10:54skin the flesh on my palm and legs began to blister and bleed i burst into tears young Vincent ran
11:00toward
11:00me as fast as he could lydia don't be afraid he rushed through the poisonous flowers and lifted me onto
11:05his
11:06back carrying me out of the field his own skin was burned and bleeding from the corrosion i watched
11:11him with tearful gratitude then another memory young Vincent and i were suddenly attacked by a
11:16horned beast in the forest Vincent stepped in front of me to shield me the creature slammed into him
11:21sending him crashing to the ground as he caught up blood other brown wolves rushed in and drove the
11:27beast away i knelt beside Vincent crying as i held him he gently wiped away my tears
11:38after my mother died Vincent always looked after me he always protected me even risking his own life
11:44i felt for him and thought he was my savior but then jade appeared jade and i trained with several
11:49young pack members under the guidance of the pack witch jade suddenly smirked and secretly cast a spell
11:54toward me i was struck and immediately retaliated in anger
12:06Vincent rushed over jade are you all right then it's it she's faking it she attacked me first
12:13if you ever hurt jade again i will never forgive you i watched in heartbreak as Vincent carried her
12:19away jade looked back over his shoulder smiling mockingly at me after jade appeared i finally
12:25understood everything Vincent had done for me was only repayment for the kindness my mother once showed
12:29him i mistook it for love and clung to that illusion for an entire lifetime i looked at Vincent for
12:35a long
12:35moment it's time to let go there's no need he stared at me in surprise she has never looked at
12:42me like
12:43this before why does it feel like she's become a completely different person today just then jade appeared
12:48Vincent the moment he saw her his expression softened Vincent what about the wolf fang charms
12:55you promised to make for me he took a small cloth patch from his coat and opened it right here
13:00revealing
13:01many golden wolf fang charms of different shapes jade's eyes widened with amazement
13:07Vincent you're incredible well you must have made these for lots of people right no i only make them for
13:15people i care about Vincent lowered his head as he took out one charm and fastened it around jade's neck
13:20my eyes locked onto the wolf fang charm my chest rose and fell sharply as a ringing sound filled my
13:25ears
13:25my mother sat on a large round stone beside a silver wolf statue deep in the forest suspended in the
13:32air
13:32before her was a wolf fang engraved with runes with her eyes closed she chanted softly weaving magic into
13:40the fang young Vincent and i stood nearby watching curiously my mother smiled and placed the wolf hand
13:47charm into my little hands i clapped happily and laughed a white coffin rested in the forest my
13:54mother lay inside i knelt on the ground beside it crying uncontrollably standing next to me young
13:59Vincent gently pressed a wolf fang charm into my hand his own hands were covered in fresh wounds it was
14:04my mother who taught Vincent the spell to enchant the charm she used to make many charms to protect me
14:09after her death vincent took her place vincent carefully dripped his blood onto a wolf fang
14:14preparing another charm suddenly i rushed in and snatched it from his hands i clenched my fist tightly
14:19and the wolf fang crumbled into glittering particles of light you are not making charms for her that's
14:24enough how long are you going to keep bullying jade vincent stared at me with open disgust he turned and
14:30walked away without another word i stood frozen as tears welled in my eyes vicinnet have you forgotten my
14:36mother died because of jade's mother in the present jade glanced deliberately toward me with a
14:41provocative smile jade doesn't even like those shows tears charms this is just her way to provoke me
14:49my hands clenched into fists i turned and shut the door behind me at the same moment i turned away
14:55vincent looked up why did lydia leave is she mad at me vincent watched my back for a long moment
15:02deep in thought vincent you despise me so much don't worry in three days you and i will never
15:09have to see each other again for good inside the magnificent palace hall nobles dressed in luxurious
15:14attire mingled and danced beneath glittering chandeliers at the center of the crowd jade stood
15:21with red hidden eyes crying softly as several guests gathered around her in sympathy after tonight's
15:27farewell a banquet you'll be sent to marry our enemy the brutal snow wolf king and as your sister
15:33all lydia cares about is her marriage with vincent she's even forcing him to mate with her she's
15:38ridiculous jade we'll miss you so much i am a princess of the silver moon pack the pack must
15:44come before my personal feelings if the marriage can put a stop to the bloodshed between us then it
15:49shall be done you've got such a big heart how can lydia miss out on your farewell party this is
15:53outrageous maybe she doesn't deserve to be the princess of silver moon pack after all
15:58talking behind my back i entered the hall dressed in an elegant gown my presence sharp and commanding
16:04i walked straight through the crowd until i stood before jade and the gossing nobles who are you to
16:10judge me i drained the wine in my glass in one motion and turned leaving the banquet alone near the
16:18silver wolf statue in the garden i paused beside it trying to clear the alcohol from my head sister i
16:23know
16:24you decided to take my place and go to the snow wolf pack instead but that was your own choice
16:28i never
16:29forced you behind me vincent quietly appeared watching from a distance jade noticed him a cold
16:34smile briefly curled at the corner of her lips she placed a hand over her chest because i stood between
16:39them vincent could not see what jade was doing she secretly cast a spell suddenly my arm moved against
16:44my will as if guided by an invisible hand a bolt of lightning magic struck toward jade venice it reacted
16:49instantly he cast a spell that slammed into me vincent rushed forward and pulled jade protectively
16:55into his arms he glared furiously at me enough his teeth ground together with anger i thought you were
17:02only a bit childish but this is too much you are pure evil you almost killed jade and for what
17:09if your
17:10mother were still alive she would be utterly ashamed to see what you've become vincent my hand lifted as
17:17magic gathered in my palm vinicet raised his hand as well we faced each other in open confrontation
17:26while the surrounding guests stared in shock in our previous life during the eight years after we
17:31didn't marry we argued over jade countless times but we never truly tried to hurt each other i raised
17:36my hand higher but this time golden light burst from my palm and shot toward vincent his eyes widened in
17:41shock around us the crowds gasped in disbelief suddenly i coughed up blood the golden light
17:47in my hand flickered and dissolved just inches before reaching vincent my legs gave out beneath
17:51me my legs gave out beneath me i fell forward but landed in a firm pair of arms lydia what's
17:58wrong with
17:58you for a brief moment panic flashed across his face with the last of my strength i grabbed his collar
18:05and clenched it tightly you have no right to speak about my mother lydia lydia vincent
18:18vincent did not stop his attention remained entirely on me as he strode away leaving jade behind jade's
18:24expression darkened instantly lydia you're already going to marry our enemy and walk to your own death
18:30yet you're still trying to steal vincent from me the next thing i knew i was lying weakly on my
18:36bed
18:37barely conscious as the witch doctor finished casting a healing spell and quietly left the room
18:42i slowly opened my eyes the first thing i saw was vincent standing beside the bed waiting with
18:47visible guilt in his expression in our previous life vincent never came to see me on his own even
18:53when i was gravely ill he only sent someone to summon a healer he avoided me as if i were
18:58a plague
18:58why are you here i'm sorry there's no need for apologies between us anymore leaf i closed my eyes
19:08behind me a sharp sound suddenly echoed through the room vincent had slapped himself hard across the face
19:14moments later the sound of his footsteps faded the door opened then closed only then did i fully open my
19:21eyes again vincent you will be free very soon in just a few days you will finally marry the woman
19:27you
19:27have loved through both lifetimes after that you will never have to see me again and i will never
19:32have to suffer for you anymore moonlight outlined vincent's tall figure standing outside my door
19:38he remained there motionless for two days and nights inside my room i opened a silver jewel box
19:47encrusted with diamonds inside rested a wolf hand charm the one vincent had made for me long ago
19:53before jade before everything changed through the window i glanced toward vincent standing outside
20:00since that night vincent has stood outside my door for two days and nights but i haven't let him in
20:05lydia i will marry you i will spend the rest of my life making up for what i did to
20:12hurt you
20:12i swear it in the name of the goddess of the moon i raised my hand and quietly cast a
20:17spell
20:18inside the room the lights dimmed instantly vincent waited outside for a moment longer then realizing
20:26i would not answer him he finally turned and walked away i heard his footsteps fade a single
20:31tear slipped down from the corner of my eye he has no idea tomorrow i will take my sister's place
20:37and
20:37marry the snow wolf alpha i will mate with our enemy with little chance to survive the woman
20:42he will marry is jade deep within the silver moon packs forest white roses bloomed everywhere on the
20:48day of the mating ceremonies the ceremonial grounds were lavishly decorated and a crowd gathered around
20:53the central altar has that's cantricion of the stallons of weisingun ascendions at the boundary where
20:58the forest met the snow fields i stood alone i turned back to look at the dense forest behind me
21:04my eyes filled with quiet reluctance by now vincent has probably received the surprise i left for him
21:10vincent what i owed you from our last life has been repaid a pack of snow white wolves emerged from
21:16the
21:16snowy plain and approached me their eyes fierce you longer belong to the forest come with us
21:24i turned back calmly and walked toward them was lifted a veil over my face then climbed onto the
21:30back of one of the wolves in the distance a brown wolf burst from the forest racing toward us at
21:36full
21:36speed the wolf skidded to a halt before the snow wolves but was quickly surrounded with no other
21:42choice it shifted into human form it was vincent i turned and saw his face shock flooded my expression
21:49vincent what is he doing here i sat atop the snow wolf my face hidden beneath the veil isn't he
21:55supposed
21:55to be at the altar with jade preparing for the mating ceremony what is he doing here vincent spotted me
22:01and immediately rushed forward the snow wolves beside me surged ahead as one walking his path
22:06and snarling fiercely vincent armand one more step and the snow wolf army will charge into your land and
22:14tear your clan apart vincent gritted his teeth and stopped but his eyes remained fixed on me
22:20filled with reluctance and making affection let me escort you i remained silent
22:27are you mad at me for marrying your sister i froze slightly so he thinks i'm jade and he got
22:33here
22:33early for her guess the big surprise hasn't reached him yet but this is a debt i owe her i
22:40owe it to her
22:40mother i had no other choice jade forgive me please neath my veil toll like her veil i let out
22:48a bitter
22:48smile i'm sorry i couldn't stop this marriage but one day i will lead an army crush the snow wolf
22:57pack
22:57and bring you back safe and unharmed believe me vincent armand back away now or your life ends here
23:08take me the snow wolf snarled again and forced vincent backward before turning as one they sprinted
23:14across the snow field and disappeared into the distance behind us vincent chased a few desperate
23:20steps before stopping jade vincent walked back toward the forest in a daze each step feeling heavy
23:27if i had tried just a little harder maybe jade wouldn't have had to go he was probably thinking
23:32she must hate me for this but there's nothing i could do he returned to the ceremonial altar deep within
23:38the forest the gathered guests were visibly exhausted from waiting when they saw vincent return
23:43many of them let out quiet sighs of relief vincent your behavior is outrageous you kept all these
23:50people waiting left my daughter standing here humiliated is this a message to my house
23:56vincent knelt halfway in a formal salute accepting the reprimand without protest
24:00jade quickly reached for my father's arm and gently shook her head at him coaxing
24:07forget it let's begin vincent took a deep breath and slowly walked up onto the altar
24:11he stopped in front of jade regret filled his face the witch raised her staff and chanted an
24:17incantation the moon god be our witness princess jade and beta vincent shall mark one another with the
24:25bite of a mate bond from this moment on your souls are bound till death do you part
24:33under my father's stern gaze and the expectant eyes of the guests jade stepped closer to vincent vincent
24:39closed his eyes and tilted his head slightly fists clenched tightly this is it jade and i will finally
24:45become destined mates jade removed her veil and bit down on vincent's neck that instant a silver moon
24:50mark appeared on vincent's wrist jade tilted her head watching him with anticipation vincent opened his
24:56eyes and lowered his head to look at her the moment he saw her face he froze shock flooded his
25:02expression
25:03what jade vincent stared at jade in disbelief why is it you jade avoided his gaze her expression shy and
25:12hesitant i i don't know why either yesterday my sister she said you willing to go to the snow
25:17wolf pack so vincent's eyes widened what did you say the one marrying into the snow wolf pack is lydia
25:23he suddenly grabbed jade by the shoulders his hands trembling and that woman the one taken away by the
25:29snow wolves alone i'm sorry i couldn't stop you from marrying our enemy but listen one day i will lead
25:37an army crush those snow wolves and make them beg for life beneath our feet i will bring you back
25:42safe and
25:43sound trust me behind the veil she gave a bitter smile time to go the snow wolf snarled and forced
25:54him back before turning his one and sprinting away he chased after them a few desperate steps
26:01vincent suddenly bolted from the altar platform midst right he transformed into a wolf and sprinted
26:07toward the snow fields at full speed but he was already gone his voice echoing with anguish and
26:15regret inside the snow wolf palace the halls were built entirely from ice and packed snow cold and
26:20gleaming beneath pale light i walked slowly into the grand hall every snow wolf present stared at me with
26:25undisguised hatred low murmurs rippled through the crowd at the far end of the hall sat the ice throne
26:31upon it lounged damien wraith white hair loose curls and a white cloak draped across his shoulders
26:37his gaze rested on me as though he were looking at a corpse i opened my mouth to speak but
26:42damien
26:42attacked i instantly sensed the killing intent my eyes sharpened with a flash of magic a long sword
26:49appeared in my hand just in time to block the wolf claws of damien who lunged at me in his
26:53wolf form
26:53in the blink of an eye we exchanged several rapid strikes damien shifted back into human form the earlier
26:59contempt in his eyes faded slightly replaced by a flicker of interest then he vanished a heartbeat later he
27:05reappeared behind me gripping my throat in a crushing hold his chest pressed against my back
27:10as he restrained me i struggled to breathe you can't kill me your people have suffered under the
27:16silver moon curse for generations if you don't form a mate bond with me none of you will live past
27:2225
27:23damien's hand morphed into a wolf claw and pierced into my chest blood trickled down as he studied
27:28the terror in my eyes with cold fascination it seems you don't know your blood alone can also weaken
27:36the curse looking at him now so young yet overflowing with killing intent i finally understand why jade died
27:42the very day she came here to form a bond i forced myself to speak through the pain my blood
27:46can't save
27:47your entire clan my blood can't save your entire clan but if you bond with me the curse will truly
27:53be
27:53broken and after that you'll never have to fear the silver moon curse again the hall erupted into heated
28:00discussion damien slowly released me and stepped back i clutched my throat gasping for air suddenly he
28:08ripped my chin and lifted my face forcing me to meet his eyes he studied me for a moment interesting
28:15i'll give you a chance to live walk out of this hall alive if you fail i'll lock you away
28:21and drain
28:21your blood every day until the curse on every snow wolf is gone before i could respond damien disappeared
28:27i looked around every snow wolf in the hall vanished at the same time damien where did you all go
28:35a low thunderous brawl suddenly echoed from above i slowly lifted my gaze beyond the transparent ice
28:42ceiling a massive white bear stood outside staring down at me its eyes blazed with hunger and savage
28:47intent my eyes widened in horror not far from the palace damien and several snow wolves stood quietly
28:55observing me through the transparent ice structure alpha are you truly going to kill her damien's eyes
29:01remained cold as he watched me inside if what she said is true we can always kill her after the
29:06curse
29:06is lifted but blood feuds like ours are never forgotten if we simply let her go our ancestors
29:12and the clansmen who died will never accept it he paused his gaze fixed on me let her suffer a
29:18little
29:18first inside the palace i stood tense and alert damien watched me closely i suddenly turned and tried to
29:25run with a thunderous crash the giant bear smashed through the ice roof shards of frozen stone rained down as
29:30it landed directly in front of me blocking my escape outside damien continued watching looking at her
29:36closely he thought she is quite lively and beautiful a pity she was born in the wrong place and came
29:42to
29:42the wrong place she was always destined to become a sacrifice for her hatred he exhaled quietly he had
29:48no desire to watch me torn apart turning away he gave an order when it's over bring her body back
29:54to
29:54the inner hall have the witch octor keep her alive that will be enough yes alpha damien began to walk
30:00away he had barely taken a few steps when startled cries erupted behind him alpha something's happening
30:07damien froze in place momentarily stunned inside the palace i drew my sword the entire blade erupted into
30:15blazing flames shock quickly followed by admiration across his features on my face cold sweat beaded
30:24across my skin yet my expression remained steady and calm i stood with my flaming sword raised the fear
30:31and panic that once filled my eyes had completely vanished the roaring flame startled the giant bear
30:36it instinctively retreated letting out a low uneasy growl i held the burning sword in one hand while
30:42chanting a spell with the other golden runes spilled from my lips one after together spiraling
30:47around the blade the flames surged higher and higher growing nearly as tall as the bear itself
30:55with a fierce shout i lifted the sword with both hands and leaped into the air charging towards the
31:01giant bear outside watching from a distance damien's expression deepened with surprise in his eyes
31:07now shown unmistakable admiration the blazing fire terrified the giant bear causing it to turn
31:12and flee but i struck first with a powerful swing i brought the sword down in a blazing arc one
31:18clean
31:18strike the bear's head was severed instantly the massive body collapsed to the ground shaking the
31:23palace like an earthquake i landed lightly i planted one foot on the fallen bear's head my body smeared
31:29with blood and fire after a moment my strength gave way my body swayed i drove the sword into the
31:36ground
31:37to stable myself then dropped to one knee breathing heavily a deep claw wound tore across my right
31:43shoulder blood steadily soaking through my clothes the watching snow wolves stared in disbelief everyone
31:49except damien looked completely stunned that silver moon woman killed a giant bear by herself if i
31:55hadn't seen it with my own eyes i never would have believed it could she possess some extraordinary power
32:02alpha should we take advantage of her weakness and finish her off damien studied me for a long
32:07moment then he lifted his hand slightly and turned away withdraw the others froze briefly before
32:11quickly following him as they left the first subordinate kept glancing back toward me muttering
32:16quietly i can't believe it the alpha who's always so cold and ruthless actually let that woman live
32:22inside my new room i sat on the edge of the bed with one shoulder exposed i poured a vial
32:27of crystal
32:27clear glowing liquid onto the claw wound on my shoulder unnoticed by me damien quietly stepped
32:32inside seeing me with my robe partly loosened he leaned against the doorframe and watched in silence
32:37for a moment the liquid touched the wound the torn flesh immediately began to close just as i reached
32:43to pull my clothes back into place damien walked over and pressed down on the hand holding my robe
32:47i startled my heart suddenly tightening who's there i turned my head damien stood before me an untamed
32:55aura of wildness and killing intent radiating from him in an instant the dagger slid from my sleeve
33:00i raised it and pressed the blade against damien's throat he arched a brow completely unafraid instead
33:06of retreating his hand slid along my arm before gripping my chin and lifting my face toward his
33:11his gaze lingered between my eyes and my lips such courage do you really think you could kill me
33:20suddenly my body froze i could no longer move the dagger clenched in my hand became encased in frost
33:26the thin layer of ice spread quickly before shattering the fragments alarm flashed across
33:31my eyes damien lifted me effortlessly and threw me down onto the bed i pushed against his chest in
33:36panic watching him warily what are you doing making you fulfill your obligation what you're going to become
33:45my mate damien leaned down his sharp fangs pierced the side of my neck i grabbed his chest instinctively
33:52trying to push him away at that moment a snow white mark appeared on my wrist damien pulled me into
33:57a
33:57fierce kiss loud pounding erupted at the door alpha the silver moon beta vincent has forced his way into the
34:10palace alone he says he'll die before leaving unless he sees the luna then what do you want from me
34:17i don't understand
34:22damien's jaw tightened gold light flickered beneath his skin vincent the beta who couldn't protect you
34:28he wants to see you now i didn't speak my heart slammed against my ribs he studied my face and
34:34then
34:35a cold smile curved his mouth bring him in vincent stood surrounded by snow wolves claws extended a
34:40snarl echoing across the frozen earth his armor was damaged blood streaked his face but his eyes burned
34:46with desperate fury the palace doors opened i appeared beside damien his hand rested at the small of my back
34:53the mark on my wrist glowed faintly vincent's gaze landed on it lydia no you shouldn't have come
35:03i came to take you home this is my home now damien's hand tightened on my waist you heard my
35:09moon

35:17searing burning the shift tore through his body his wolf lunged at damien
35:24damien met him midair ice erupted from his palms silver white pure the shop wave shattered windows
35:36they tore across the courtyard amber fire against silver ice vincent's claws gouged through stone
35:41damien's frost froze the air between them every collision exploded into steam
35:47vincent pinned damien down his jaws opened aiming for the throat i moved my sword cleared the sheath
35:54gold rim spiraled along the blade as i whispered the spell my mother taught me golden fire roared to
36:00life i slammed the plot of the blade into vincent's chest he flew backward crashing through three ice
36:05colors amber light flickered then died i stood over him fire blazing along my sword go home vincent
36:13if you come for me again i won't miss he looked up at me broken bleeding finally seeing then he
36:21disappeared into the forest i lowered my sword the fire went out damien caught me before i could fall
36:30i sat alone staring at the mark on my wrist the bond pulsed beneath my skin like a second heartbeat
36:36the door opened damien walked into view and sat in the chair across from me his posture was relaxed
36:43but his eyes tracked every breath i took why did you let him live you could have killed him
36:51his expression didn't change if i killed him would you forgive me i stared at him what does
36:59it matter to you whether i forgive you or not he stood and walked to the window moonlight caught the
37:04silver in his hair you killed a bear with a burning sword you walked into my hall knowing i might
37:10kill
37:10you and you never begged i wanted you to suffer but then i watched you fight and i realized you're
37:18not
37:18like them you're not like anyone what are you saying he crossed the room in three strides and stopped
37:25inches from me his hand lifted fingertips brushing the spot on my neck where the mark rested i'm saying i
37:31don't want to kill you lydia and that terrifies me more than any enemy ever has i didn't sleep
37:37around midnight a soft scratching came at the window i rose carefully a wolf tooth talisman hung from a
37:44silver chain swaying in the wind the charm was old vincent had made it for me when we were children
37:50a folded note was tucked beneath it i'll find a way wait for me v for a moment i let
37:57myself remember
37:58the boy who carried me through the poison flower fields the boy who wiped away my tears then i
38:04looked at the mark on my wrist damien's mark i left the talisman on the windowsill let the wind take
38:10it
38:11i found damien in the great hall studying maps a faction of snove want war they've been gathering
38:19strength waiting for the curse to break i studied the map what do you want i want my people to
38:27survive
38:29i want to bury the hatred i want you to stay not as a prisoner as my moon goddess my
38:38equal the
38:39warriors around us exchanged glances i looked at the mark on my wrist i'll stay but not because you
38:46command it the corner of his mouth curved i wouldn't expect anything less three days passed
38:54the silver moon beta has returned he says he won't leave without seeing you i went to the border
39:02vincent stood alone thinner than before shadows beneath his eyes you're still here
39:09i told you i would be he stepped forward the snow wolf's flanking was shifted growls rumbling he stopped
39:16hands open empty unarmed lydia i know you think i chose jade that i never loved you but that's not
39:23the truth i didn't speak when we were children you were everything to me i would have died for you
39:31i
39:32almost did then jade came i was weak i let her manipulate me but for the past three days i've
39:40thought of nothing but you the woman who faced a snow wolf alpha alone the woman who killed a bear
39:45with
39:46a sword the woman who walked into death to save her pack that wasn't cruelty that was courage and i
39:53was too blind to see it what do you want vincent i want you to come home i want to
40:00marry you lydia
40:04not jade never jade
40:09i looked at his hands i looked at his hands i can't vincent's face went pale what i made a
40:17choice
40:17i'm choosing to stay with him with the man who was going to kill you he didn't kill me he
40:26gave me a
40:27choice no one in our pack ever gave me one lydia he's using you you think i don't know that
40:35i spent my whole life chasing someone who never saw me i begged my father to let me marry a
40:42man who
40:43loved my sister i humiliated myself over and over for someone who looked at me with nothing but hate
40:50and now for the first time someone sees me not a princess not a pawn someone who killed a bear
40:57and
40:57walked away i'm not giving this up not for you not for anyone he lowered his head then let me
41:07protect
41:07you even if you won't come home you can't protect me vincent he looked up and i watched the truth
41:15finally settle into his bones i walked back alone damien waited at the edge of the trees
41:22he fell into step beside me after a long silence i would let you go if you chose him
41:30i would hate it but i wouldn't stop you why he stopped and turned to face me because watching
41:38you leave would be easier than watching you stay out of obligation he held out his hand i took it
