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