00:44he actually survived the bloodbath and made it back we should be thanking the moon goddess purely for
00:49that damien looked like the war had been built around him his shirt strained across his chest
00:55and shoulders his jaw looked carved from stone and his scent dark cedar iron and rank male dominance
01:02heavy commanding impossible to ignore
01:10alpha's the lucky one huh three months out killing on the front lines and he comes home to not one
01:16but
01:16two beautiful women waiting on him i'd be jealous too
01:22i know you prayed for damien every single day my luna so i went to the altar for you i
01:26asked the moon
01:26goddess myself may the moon goddess return him to you alive every time in my last life i had been
01:32so
01:32happy damien won the war so stupidly moved by her little act of devotion i let her fasten the chain
01:38around my neck that very night i had no idea it was cursed the second i wore it the pendant
01:43began to
01:44work her rot my body exchanged at first i was only tired then the pain started low in my body
01:52sharp deep wrong one healer after another came through thornwood none of them knew what was
01:58happening to me while vivian vivian got prettier by the day her skin glowed her body filled out and
02:04every night she took out to damien to death when i woke from the fever it was already too late
02:08she must
02:11feel like this comes from damien's face went black with disgust lock her in the back cell anyone caught
02:18sneaking her food gets whipped to the bone i tried to speak tried to explain nothing came out i could
02:26only lie there and watch him straight out the door even as i died in that holding cell i still
02:31couldn't
02:32understand it the man who marked me under the full moon the man who swore to love me for life
02:37how had he become that cold only after death did i learn who vivian really was not an orphan not
02:44some
02:44helpless girl dragged home from war a whore an enemy pack whore who slipped into our lands after their
02:50defeat she was already dying already rotting from the inside pure hatred clawed at my throat but what
02:58good was anger when my body was already rotting in the mud i couldn't rip her apart with my own
03:02hands
03:03the sharp ring of crystal snapped me back to the banquet luna let me put it on you
03:13this time i took one step back the whole table went silent vivian's hand hung in the dare
03:19flyer is my gift not good enough i scrubbed my knees bloody praying for this
03:27a few of the high betas mates immediately frowned at me lila don't make a scene the poor girl meant
03:34well the alpha dragged her back from the front lines himself of course they're letting her do as she
03:39pleases i said nothing because i smelled it that faint sweetness under her perfume that rotten sugary
03:47note buried deep in the flesh i knew that scent i had breathed it for three months in my last
03:53life
03:53i had died in it i looked at the foolish women around the table then i forced my lips into
03:59a tight
03:59smile i appreciate the thought i said evenly and i'll keep the gift but this dress doesn't suit a
04:05rough bone wood pendant then she looked at me with that wounded trembling expression she wore so well
04:11i know it isn't expensive not compared to the diamonds on your throat but i begged for it on bleeding
04:16knees that's what made it precious she took another step toward me i just want you to try it on
04:24it would look beautiful on you no she didn't want me to try it on she needed that cursed thing
04:31around
04:31my neck tonight right then the bank of doors swung open a thin omega boy walked in with his head
04:40lowered he stopped before damien's seat and stood at attention alpha high luma sent me she requests
04:47lyra's presence in the capital for the full moon gathering my heart clenched so hard it hurt
04:52wren the same omega who dug my body out of the corpse heap in the rain the same omega who
04:57gave me a
04:57grave when no one else would i was about to use the summons as my way out vivian moved first
05:03like a
05:04serpent luna let me put the pendant on before you go you can't appear before high luna wearing
05:10something as flashy as that diamond
05:17this lady looks familiar i saw a transport of unregulared omgas at the northern black market last
05:24year wasn't she one of them you've mistaken me for someone else alpha rescued me from war i've never
05:31been near a black market wren closed his mouth he didn't push and i took the opening high luna is
05:38waiting
05:38i should go as for the pendant we'll discuss it when i return
05:45luna are you avoiding me it takes seconds to put on a pendant what exactly is the problem
05:52then she moved she threw herself sideways you you filthy omega you touched me clutching the rip
06:00towards the dress tears poured down her face on cue every expression around that table changed
06:06that sick little omegas lost his mind he touched alpha's woman rip his throat out break him apart
06:14and throw him to the dogs vivian trembled like a shattered doll mascara streaked down her face
06:20get your filthy paws off me i'd rather die than be touched by a low-born born omega
06:29fun suddenly toward one of the stone pillars
06:38he caught her by the waist and hauled her against his chest
06:43alpha pressure exploded through the room the air turned heavy every wolf in that hall felt it
06:49wren went white his legs gave out under the force of it
06:53he slammed onto the stone floor so hard i heard the impact in his knees
06:57i didn't do it i swear to the moon goddess i didn't
07:01i only put my hands out on instinct i didn't even touch the edge of her dress
07:06i swear it i never dishonored her vivian buried her face in damien's neck crying shivering
07:14pressing herself against him on purpose her breasts crushed into his chest while she clung to him like
07:20prey begging protection damien's eyes turned monstrous his jaw locked drag that bastard out
07:30break his arms break his legs dump him at the border and let the rogues finish what he started
07:38for a second i thought i had misheard him damien use your damn head he's high luna's messenger if you
07:45lay one finger on him inside your territory you'll answer to the council by sunrise do you want a
07:51political war over a liar's tears vivian lifted her head from damien's chest
07:56why are you so upset luna you're awfully quick to defend a filthy mega does he normally kneel that
08:03close to you or have you grown a little too comfortable with a lowborn's hands straying on your body
08:08she wasn't just accusing ren she was smearing me publicly painting me as a luna who let some omega
08:15into her bed damien's head snapped toward me his pupils tightened that warped alpha possessiveness ignited
08:22behind his eyes all at once the look he gave me made my skin crawl like i had just crawled
08:27out of
08:27another man's sheets say that again
08:33i almost laughed from the sheer filth of it i was ready to throw every ounce of that poison back
08:38in
08:38their faces but ren moved first i'll take my punishment alpha his thin body shook like a
08:44leaf in a storm but his voice came out shockingly clear i swear it was an accident i'd never disrespect
08:50the alpha's guest i'll accept whatever punishment you give me i only ask one thing for high luna's
08:55sake just leave me half alive so i can deliver my message back my heart seized moon goddess what
09:00was he doing he was throwing himself into the fire if i defended him now damien would hear guilt in
09:06my voice if i stayed silent ren would bleed for me ren was sacrificing himself to protect my name
09:12rage tore through me so violently my hand started shaking my nails dug into my palms hard enough to
09:18break skin i barely felt it my eyes locked on the bonewood wolf head clenched in vivian's hand
09:23and then it came to me a brutal beautiful thought this diseased whore wanted my body
09:28my health my rank my life fine if she loved trading fate so much i'd play the game with her
09:34i'd hand her
09:35a gift a body so unbearable she'd pray for death and never get it i lowered my eyes to ren
09:40he was still
09:41on the floor still trembling still trying to save me with his own blood i didn't know yet how i'd
09:47do it
09:47but i knew exactly where i'd begin this time i would ruin her first the dungeon sounds carried
09:52through the corridor a dull crack then another whips tearing through flesh in my last life ren dug me
10:00out of the corpse pit ren buried me when no one else would and in this life ren was being
10:05skinned
10:05alive to protect my name i needed to move fast
10:11a maid came running down the hall luna the omega passed out the guards want to know if they should
10:17keep going what did alpha say alpha is with miss viviana in his room there in bed he gave no
10:26order
10:26to stop of course he didn't damien was going to let them beat ren to death and that rotten
10:32wanted ren buried for good anyone who knew what she really was had to disappear i turned on my heel
10:38and
10:38started toward the dungeon laia where exactly are you going vivian stood there her hair was must fresh
10:45bite marks bloomed across her neck her whole body reeked of sex of sweat of damien two warriors stood
10:52behind her like guard dogs if you go to the dungeon now those ugly little rumors from dinner stop being
10:57rumors everyone will know you were sneaking around with a filthy omega behind alpha's back i stopped
11:04looked at her then i laughed not soft not graceful a sharp ugly laugh that made her blink
11:13you're absolutely right vivian if they hacked him to pieces he still wouldn't be worth dirtying my
11:20shoe my gaze dropped to her hand to the one clenched tight around that pendant that little
11:24piece of trash didn't you want me to wear it greed flashed through them so fast she forgot to hide
11:32it
11:32she opened her palm there it was the bonewood wolf head you're finally going to wear it i reached out
11:38and snatched it from her hand then i let out one slow breath like i was finally giving in tomorrow
11:43is
11:44the anniversary of my mother's passing i have to pray at the moon temple i looked straight into her
11:48eyes if you're truly sincere you can come with me and under the moon goddess's gaze you can place it
11:56around my neck yourself suspicion flickered across her face then it drowned under naked delight
12:02she thought she'd cornered me thought i'd folded of course smiling wide i'll go with you that smile
12:08it was the exact same smile she wore in my last life after she ruined me i gave one cold
12:13nod and turned
12:14away not going to see your little lover in the dungeon to hell with the dungeon i shot back without
12:20turning because by then ren was already unconscious and if i ran there now i still couldn't save ren worse
12:27if i begged damien would hear guilt in it that was exactly the trap she wanted but i had a
12:33better move
12:33i went straight back to my room wrote a letter fast then i summoned the one warrior i trusted most
12:41and sent him writing for the central territory in secret high luna might not care whether some
12:45lowborn omega lived or died but her pride that old woman worshiped her own authority a messenger she
12:51had sent being whipped half to death on her land that insult would reach her before dawn and she would
12:55not let it slide the next morning we arrived at the moon temple i stood before the altar and made
13:03my
13:03offering vivian clung to my shadow the whole way twice she leaned in to mention the pendant
13:10what are you so jumpy for she clenched her jaw swallowed her temper followed me into the trees
13:18we hardly ever come here walk with me through the pine grove
13:23laia what is there to even look at in this miserable forest
13:27stop wasting time i'll put the pendant on you right now
13:34i stared at her at that hungry desperate face i almost smiled
13:45what are you in such a rush for in a rush to dig your own grave
13:50before she could answer a young priest came hurrying toward us luna
13:57the elder is waiting in the inner chamber
14:03you stay here i'll be back her hand shot out and grabbed my skirt so hard her nails dug into
14:08the
14:09fabric lyra i'm coming with you i slapped her hand away the elder invited me not you so know your
14:18place
14:18and settle down
14:23when i come back out i'll let you put the pendant on me myself vivian bit down on her lower
14:28lip
14:28hard but she let go i walked straight into the temple ren was already there his body was covered
14:36in lash marks blood had dried stiff across his clothes but he was alive
14:47thank you for saving me luna ren said hoarsely trying to kneel i sat across from him if you
14:53hadn't sent word to high luna last night they'd have beaten me into a pump
15:00win listen carefully
15:04do you want to leave this back
15:08do you want to leave that body behind for good he stared at me i reached into my pocket and
15:14placed
15:14a pendant on the table between us a bone woodwolf head at a glance it was identical to vivian's pendant
15:24in my last life right before i died in that cell ren held my ruined body and cried he told
15:30me what
15:30he wanted more than anything he hated what the pack saw when they looked at him hated the cursed body
15:35he had been trapped in he wanted to be a woman a whole one he wanted to leave this violent
15:40place
15:41and live somewhere wide somewhere free this is a replica the real pendant casts the curse
15:47but this one this one intercepts it it redirects the rot that is how vivian takes your cursed body
15:53and leaves you hers i had it carved overnight ren's breathing caught if you wear this you'll trade
16:00bodies with vivian i held his gaze you'll take her fate and she'll be trapped in yours ren inhaled
16:08sharply his eyes flooded red thank you luna tears spilled before he could stop them you're the first
16:16person in this world who didn't laugh at what i wanted i looked into his eyes and i knew that
16:24same
16:24fierce grief that same terrible clarity ren remembered he had come back too
16:39swallow this
16:42it'll shield you when the switch happens viviana's rot won't cross into you
16:48i wiped the mud and tears from his cheek from tomorrow on you won't be trapped anymore
16:55you'll have a woman's body and a new life ren closed his fingers tight around the pill
17:00i pushed open the chamber door and walked back outside vivian was pacing the pine grove like a rat
17:05cornered on a hot roof the second she saw me she rushed over what took so long what were you
17:12doing in
17:12there i curled my mouth into a perfect smile then i reached into my pocket and pulled out the real
17:18pendant the cursed one the wicked one
17:27sorry to keep you waiting vivian i held it out to her watched greed flood her eyes
17:37the rough edge of the bonewood pendant brushed my throat a sharp sting kissed my skin vivian stood on
17:43tiptoe in front of me the triumph in her eyes was impossible to hide i touched the little wolf head
17:49resting against my collarbone
17:53how thoughtful of you vivian thank you
17:56it looks beautiful on you luna i'm sure it will keep you and alpha strong forever
18:03the second the word left her mouth her face changed why does it hurt all of a sudden
18:10of course it hurt that was exactly how it had begun for me in my last life first the strength
18:15bled out
18:15of my limbs then came the deep twisting pain low in my stomach and after that the rot the disease
18:23that
18:23had once nested in her original body had already started crawling in the opposite direction only
18:29this time i had done more than turn the curse back on her i had sharpened it i had forced
18:34it to bloom
18:35faster vivian's face turned whiter and whiter cold sweat purled across her forehead i don't feel right
18:41let's go back to the estate first i put on a look of concern and quickly reached out to study
18:45her
18:46don't panic maybe you're just overtired from the walk sit down a moment no no
18:54i need to go back i need damien the next second
18:57vivian let out a thin tearing scream and collapsed heavily to the ground like a dead weight i didn't
19:03move to catch her ren stepped out from the hidden chamber wearing vivian's face her skin was pale
19:11how do you feel i think i'm taller a laugh slipped out of me poor thing she had gone from
19:19a frail
19:20undersized omega at the bottom of the pack to vivian's tall lush frame of course the ground felt
19:25different under her feet ren looked down at her hands then touched her own face and went still
19:31she looked at me her eyes reddened by degrees anything else luna i
19:39in my last life her only wish had been to escape that cursed omega body that body the pack mocked
19:45used and spat on and become a woman the world wouldn't punish for existing now she had it
19:53ren lowered her eyes to vivian's unconscious body on the ground for now it still wore vivian's face but
19:59not for long soon that skin would split with sores yellow pus would seep through it and the body
20:04would begin to stink with that same sweet rotten foulness that had once soaked my sheets in my
20:11blood footsteps sounded through the pine grove outside the temple miss vivian where are you vivian's
20:17two beta escorts were looking for her i helped ren to her feet and sent her out through the back
20:22passage
20:22first i brushed the hair away from her face my touch was gentle careful almost sisterly softly
20:40wake up we need to go back she opened her eyes slowly the moment she saw me confusion crossed her
20:47face then came terror raw immediate you what did you do to me i helped her sit up what what
20:57are you
20:57talking about you fainted all of a sudden you scared me half to death come on let's get you back
21:04to
21:04thornwood i'll have the pack healers look at you properly vivian tried to wrench herself free only to
21:08realize her arms and legs had gone weak as water the nails were yellowing the skin was stretching pulling
21:13tight over bones that no longer felt like her own she didn't know it yet but her nightmare had just
21:17started i supported her as we walked out behind us birds called through the pine grove i glanced back
21:24once at the hidden chamber for a second i thought i saw a shadow flicker behind the temple glass
21:30ren was finally free and vivian she had just stepped into her own grave
21:38back at thornwood i started to play sick first came exhaustion bone deep i stayed in bed all day
21:45and let my body go slack beneath the sheets then came the pain i started clutching low at my belly
21:51crying out at the right moments breathing like every inch of me was failing it was almost identical to my
21:57last life i sent a maid for the pack healer he examined me for a long time checked my eyes
22:04felt my
22:05pulse asked question after question in the end he gave me nothing stress she needs rest there was no
22:13curse in me now no rot just the act vivian came to my room again and again every visit followed
22:20the
22:20same script her tone said concern her face said victory she said towering over me oh lyra you were
22:27perfectly fine when we came back from the moon temple what happened i gave her a weak little smile
22:32maybe i overdid it i don't have any strength left she let out a fake tender sigh then rest
22:40i'll watch over pack matters you don't need to worry about a thing i'll carry it all for you i
22:45nodded
22:46closed my eyes and listened to her heels click away across my floor i stared up at the canopy and
22:52let
22:52out a cold little laugh she really thought she had one she thought a few more days would finish it
22:59that
23:00my lower body would rot like it had last time that the smell would come that damien would throw me
23:05into the back cell that i'd die alone and she thought she'd keep the healthy body thought she would
23:10spend every night spread beneath damien take his hands his teeth his weight wear my rank while i rotted
23:17in the dark she still thought she had one i wasn't the one who had traded bodies with her the
23:22days
23:23past i kept getting weaker sleepier more fragile damien never came not once he did not cross my
23:32threshold did not ask after me did not even pretend vivian on the other hand came more and more often
23:41and each time she got bolder she tugged down her neckline without shame showed me the bruises at her
23:47throat the bite marks along her collarbone damien was brutal last night he pinned me to the wall took me
23:56from behind so hard i couldn't breathe she fed me every filthy detail on purpose she thought it would
24:01break me thought i'd cry or rage she was wrong so wrong it almost made me pity her after betrayal
24:08after
24:09death after waking up a second time i felt nothing for damien my heart had died in that stinking cell
24:16it
24:16died while rats chewed my fingers and i begged for water no one brought whatever love i once had for
24:21him i had torn it out myself stamped it flat left it there to rot his muscles his strength that
24:28alpha
24:29pressure everyone else worshipped now it turned my stomach one afternoon vivian went even further she
24:38drifted to my vanity as if she owned the room then lifted the sapphire necklace from its velvet stand and
24:43held it to her throat my necklace the previous luna's necklace a symbol of rank of inheritance of
24:50authority lila this is gorgeous why don't you lend it to me for a few days you're stuck in bed
24:58anyway
24:58you can't wear it i looked at her face that smug mouth that glittering greed then i put on the
25:05expression she wanted to see humiliation resignation if you like it keep it she actually paused
25:13she turned left then right admiring the way the sapphire burned against her skin satisfied beyond
25:19words i didn't bother looking at her again by the seventh day i made sure i could no longer stand
25:25from
25:25bed anna was frantic brought in one doctor after another three pack healers none of them could say what
25:34was wrong with me i only told anna to brew calming herbs after i drank them i let myself sink
25:40into a heavy
25:41false sleep and inside that sleep blood the cell the smell my ruined body from my last life that
25:49afternoon i lay there with my eyes closed when the heavy bedroom door swung open vivian entered first
25:55my sapphire necklace blazed against her throat her face was caked in powder but even through all that
26:01makeup i could still see the dark half moons under her eyes damien walked in behind her his broad frame
26:08blocked the light from the doorway he scanned the room once then his eyes landed on me and stopped
26:14the disgust on his face wasn't even hidden
