00:00my entire pack 10 years ago i saved my fated mate is the one who destroyed my entire pack
00:0410 years ago i saved his life now i am his prisoner i am the daughter of the silver moon
00:09alpha
00:09yet i have never awakened my wolf form my brother has set boundaries for me to protect
00:13forbidding me from stepping outside his territory but if this love is destined to be a cage i'd
00:18rather not have it after i'd run for near half an hour i ducked into the dense thicket to catch
00:23my breath before pressing onward it was then that a whimper reached my ears from not far off
00:28a primal sound our kind only ever uttered in the throes of unendurable utter agony that i followed
00:32the sound through the underbrush and came upon a young wolf shifter broken by grievous mortal wounds
00:37who are you don't come any closer i'm from a small wolf pack nearby out looking for food
00:42how did you get hurt no sooner had the words left his mouth than a silver arrow suddenly shot out
00:47from
00:47the pine forest ahead it was heading straight for me i was so scared that i froze on the spot
00:53that's when he suddenly lunged forward shoving completely beneath his body panic surged through
00:59me i reached for the silver arrow in his shoulder only to be shoved away with the last of his
01:03strength run they're after me not you don't get caught up in this just then the shadowy figure
01:10caught up i grabbed his hand and pulled him along the narrow animal trail following the route i'd
01:15memorized from listening to the patrolling wolves chatter i ran towards the most remote edge of the
01:19territory i don't know how long it ran but finally we saw an abandoned hunter's hut
01:25hide here for now eat something but he would not take the food i offered that was when i remembered
01:31the map in my pack before i'd fled i'd secretly copied a topographic map of the land surrounding
01:36the silver moon wolf pack territory i'd drawn it up for my own escape but in that moment none of
01:41that
01:41mattered i pressed the map straight into his hands follow the route marked on here it'll lead you
01:46past the nearby wolf packs once you reach no man's land you can make it back to your own people
01:50why are you helping me why does there have to be a reason i saved you because the moon goddess
01:56is
01:56watching over you she doesn't intend for you to die here the hunters aren't here yet go

02:10of the toxin if you get into trouble you can trade it for supplies too you got dragged into this
02:15because of me i'm not leaving you here alone come with me they're here for you not me forget about
02:23me i'll find a way to survive if you don't go now you'll never get the chance go don't look
02:30back
02:42jennica
02:45how did you know where to find me do you have any idea how dangerous it is out here how
02:49dare you
02:49sneak out if i hadn't gotten here in time you would have been taken by rogue wolves i'll never do
02:54it again come on we'll settle this when we get home i followed him out of the crumbling cabin
03:00before we left i glanced back at the direction the boy had vanished praying silently in my heart that
03:05the moon goddess would keep him safe i squeezed the half moonstone in my hand i had no idea if
03:09i
03:09would ever see him again if i would ever get the other half of the moonstone back that longing lasted
03:14for ten whole years the moonstone pendant around his neck it was the exact same one i'd ripped in
03:19two with my own hands and pressed into that wolf boy's palm all those years ago was it him the
03:25boy
03:25from all those years ago was he ethan alpha of the dark flame pack the woman at his side wore
03:31a gown
03:32embroidered with the intricate dark flame clan crest a mark only those closest to the alpha were permitted
03:36to bear she clung to ethan's arm looking up at him every few seconds she was declaring her
03:40status to everyone in the room the dark flame beta spotted me in the cage he ripped the long blade
03:45from his waist and charged straight for the cage the blade was inches from slamming into the cage
03:49when ethan suddenly lifted his hand and closed it around the sharpened steel kyle ethan walked
03:55straight toward the cage he reached through the bars his hand closing around my jaw forcing me to
04:00lift my head and look at him fated mate the blood debt the silver moon plaque owes us i will
04:08repay it a
04:09thousand times over their air is still at large keeping this princess alive serves a purpose i wanted
04:17to ask him if he was the wounded boy from all those years ago but the words died on my
04:20lips he was the
04:21alpha of the dark flame pack the man who destroyed my people my enemy if you want revenge take it
04:28out
04:28on me i'm the silver moon princess please spare the others they never had anything to do with the war
04:35spare them when silver moon allied with three other packs to slaughter the dark flame they cut my
04:41father's head off and hung it from your territory marker for three whole days they didn't even leave
04:46him a body to bury did silver moon spare anyone back then later word came from the clan to pacify
04:52the remaining silver moon loyalists the dark flame elders had made a decision ethan would bind himself to
04:57me in the sacred fated mating bond ethan refused that was also when i learned the truth he'd already had
05:03a
05:03love a woman he'd been searching for all these years she'd gone missing so all these years i'd been
05:09the only one clinging to that memory that fleeting night in the woods on the day of the bonding
05:13ceremony i was locked in a sparse stone chamber deep in the heart of the manor no sacred chance
05:18from the clan elders no full moon hanging high in the sky everything a true mating ceremony was supposed
05:23to have this room had none a maid walked in carrying a vial of dark liquid heading straight for me
05:28without warning she grabbed the back of my neck holding me completely still in the dark flame pack
05:34a red birthmark is a mark of ill omen it must be covered i bowed my head letting her pour
05:40the liquid
05:41over the birthmark on my skin it was the only thing i had left the only thing tying me to
05:46the past the
05:47maid then brought in a crown she said the alpha had ordered it prepared for me i stared at the
05:52crown
05:52my chest filling with endless hollow bitterness and bitter mockery if he hated me so much why
05:57would he have something so precious made for me but i had no right to ask no right to refuse
06:03i could only let the maid place the crown on my head the maid supported me as i walked forward
06:07step by step molly is that you molly
06:21that crown was made for molly who dared put it on her of course he'd mistaken me for someone else
06:28he thought i was her the woman he loved the one he'd been searching for
06:34she made me do it she heard it was for lady molly and she threatened me to steal it for
06:41her
06:42he believed her without a single moment of hesitation he stormed forward his hand closing
06:47around my throat lifting me clean off the ground i couldn't breathe my face burned bright red my feet
06:53kicking desperately in the air my hands clawing at his arm but his grip was like iron unbreakable
06:58silver moon filth you think becoming my luna will make me spare your wretched clansman
07:04becoming your mate is the greatest shame of my life even if i die i will never be the dark
07:11flame luna
07:12just like my heart it had long frozen and shattered as the crown fell searing pain engulfed me i didn't
07:19know if he felt it but i saw his hand around my throat tremble slightly as if struggling against
07:24something inside him suddenly he fisted his hand in my hair his grip was so tight it felt like he
07:29would rip my scalp clean from my skull the pain was so intense tears threatened to fall but i bit
07:34down
07:34hard on my jaw refusing to beg he dragged me like that across the stone floor and threw me into
07:39the
07:39silver chamber the deepest most brittle torture chamber in the dark flame dungeons every inch of
07:45the room was forged from solid silver torture devices lined the walls cold metal to humans utter brutality to
07:51werewolves silver sears a wolf's skin and flesh suppresses our natural healing and leaves wounds
07:57that never fully heal the guards bound me to a silver torture rack silver chains locking around
08:02my wrists and ankles the second they touched my skin it burned like pressing my bare flesh to a red
08:07hot iron plate the chains quickly tore through my skin blood seeping out dripping down my arms and legs
08:13onto the silver floor below the bright cold metal reflected the dark pool of blood gathering beneath me
08:18outside the silver chamber in the master bedroom at the top of the manor ethan sat in a chair by
08:23the
08:23window one hand clenched so tight around the armrest his nails dug deep into the wood leaving five
08:28deep claw marks in their wake his other hand pressed hard against his chest his knuckles whitened
08:33veins bulged on his wrists brows furrowed tight through our faded bond every ounce of pain i endured in
08:38the silver chamber transferred perfectly to him when a silver needle pierced my fingertip his finger twitched
08:43when silver chains burned my wrist an eerie red mark appeared on his but he didn't call it off he
08:49just
08:49sat there silently enduring the backlash of the mating bond holding on through sure force of will
08:54fueled by nothing but hatred he didn't make a single sound no one knew we were fated mates
09:00that's when vivian arrived she wore an opulent deep red gown completely out of place in a damp dark
09:05silver chamber she walked slowly toward me lifted her foot and pressed it down hard on my already
09:09mangled hand the one the silver needles had pierced through she ground her heel into the wound
09:13hard my hand curled beneath her foot my fingers feeling like they were about to be crushed clean
09:17off cold sweat broke out across my entire body the pain so intense my vision went black and i nearly
09:22passed out again a fallen packs worthless filth a waste who can't even shift into her wolf form
09:27you dare to covet ethan you dare to compete with me today i'm gonna show you what true agony is
09:32you think ethan's gonna come save you he's wishing you'd die in here to him you're nothing
09:36not even a cheap replacement she let out a cold laugh and turned to leave
09:40the hem of her deep red gown brushed across my face carrying a gust of wind on its wake
09:44she insulted me to my face and she stole the packs territory maps planning to leak our secrets to the
09:53enemy packs treat her well
09:58the guards eyes lit up with cruel bloodthirsty excitement and they stepped toward me one by one
10:03their smiles were grotesque ugly one of them had already half shifted into his wolf form
10:07his claws extending scraping against the silver floor with a high-pitched ear-splitting screech
10:12they grabbed my dress and ripped it clean off my body wolf's claws raked across my skin slicing
10:17through flesh like butter blood spilling across the floor a scream tore its way out of my throat
10:24a low rumbling wolf howl echoed from outside the door every single guard froze in place stopping
10:30mid-movement it was ethan before the door could even be pushed open vivian grabbed a silver needle
10:35from the table beside her and drove it deep into her own arm ethan save me she stabbed me with
10:41the
10:41needle she even said molly's been dead for years that only she's worthy of being your luna and once
10:46again he believed her he turned to me his eyes blazing with a murderous all-consuming rage this is the
10:52great alpha of the dark flame pack are you really this stupid
11:04he spun around grabbing a thin silver needle pen from the table it was the sacred tool the dark
11:08flame pack used to ink permanent marks into a wolf's skin its tip forged from pure silver capable
11:13of leaving a mark that would never fade no matter how hard we tried to heal it he walked toward
11:17me
11:17one hand slamming down on the back of my neck his grip so tight i couldn't breathe
11:21pressing my face hard into the cold stone floor his other hand held a silver needle pen the next
11:26second the needle drove down into my skin you're so desperate to mimic molly to be my luna then
11:33i'll give you what you want in that moment i knew i was the biggest joke in the entire world
11:38the man
11:39i'd saved all those years ago had become my tormentor my enemy the pain was so great i nearly blacked
11:44out i used the last of my strength to force out a few words i regret saving you what did
11:49you say
11:51say it again i opened my mouth but no sound came out the darkness swallowed me whole i passed out
11:58not long after vivian claimed she she'd lost the dark flame packs territory map it was one of the
12:03clan's most closely guarded secrets a map detailing the layout of the territory's wards if it fell into
12:08the wrong hands the entire pack safety would be at risk even leaving us open to attack from rival
12:12wolf packs that day i was in my stone chamber using warm water to clean the wounds covering my body
12:18i wanted to wash away the humiliation the exhaustion i just picked up a clean set of clothes when a
12:23piece
12:23of parchment slipped out from inside falling to the floor i bent down to pick it up it was a
12:27map
12:31this is it i knew she stole it in that instant i understood everything one of the maids assigned to
12:38wait on me had planted the map here to frame me they wanted to destroy me but i had no
12:43proof and in this
12:44place no one would ever believe me in this manner i was the daughter of the fallen silver moon alpha
12:49the hated child of the enemy and vivian was the woman closest to his heart i stared at the parchment
12:53in her hand and my mind flashed back to that night 10 years ago to the map i pressed into
12:58his hand with
12:59my own two hands in that tiny hunter's cabin i lunged forward desperate to make him remember my voice came
13:04out crass trembling almost too quiet to hear that night in the cabin the map i gave you do you
13:11remember
13:11it shock flashed across his face gone in an instant his lips moved but no sound came out i could
13:19feel
13:19his breath coming fast ragged unsteady what did you say but before he could say another word vivian ran to
13:25his side ethan don't believe her lies she's just using molly's name to trick you she's the silver
13:33moon princess she's just trying to use your feelings for molly to make you spare her and he believed her
13:39again the faint warmth in his eyes vanished in an instant replaced by a bone deep freezing cold
13:44that caught right through me he ripped his hand out of mine the force was so great i slammed back
13:48into
13:48the stone floor again the back of my head hitting the hard rock my vision going black once more
13:52bring me the silver moon alpha and luna kill them hang their bodies from the territory marker on the
13:58border for all to see panic surged through me pure unadulterated terror my father and mother were
14:06still locked in the dark flame dungeons i dropped to my knees hard the stone slamming into my kneecaps
14:10i crawled to his feet my hands clutching tight to the legs of his pants tears streaming down my face
14:15as
14:15slapped myself again and again hard i was wrong i know i was wrong please spare them i'll take every
14:23punishment all of it alone i'll never speak out of turn again please just spare them through the mating
14:31bond he could feel every ounce of my fear my utter despair as clear as day i felt his breath
14:35catch
14:36unsteady he stormed forward his head closing around my throat again lifting me off the ground i couldn't
14:42breathe my face burning bright red my consciousness slipping away i closed my eyes waiting for the
14:47final blow my heart was completely calm maybe this would be better no more pain no more humiliation
14:53if i died i'd finally be free but just then the moonstone i'd hidden against my chest slipped out
14:59of my dress falling to the floor glowing with a faint soft light even froze
15:05his hand fell away from my throat i could feel his fingers starting to tremble uncontrollably
15:10vivian panicked she scrambled to her feet and grabbed ethan's arm hard ethan kill her
15:16kill her now avenge our clansmen but he didn't answer he just stared at me unblinking take her away
15:22lock her up under heavy guard no one is to go near her without my explicit order and no one
15:29is to harm her
15:30ever again then he bent down picked up the half moonstone from the floor and turned to leave
15:37he left vivian behind him screaming and wailing hysterically the guards took me away locking me
15:43in a clean quiet stone chamber someone brought me clean clothes and a healing salve for the silver
15:48burns covering my body i had no idea if he'd recognized me if he'd finally remembered that i was
15:53the girl who'd saved his life all those years ago later i learned what had happened he'd ordered a
15:57full investigation into my past into every single thing that had happened 10 years prior they'd combed
16:01through every old archive in the silver moon manor even tracked down the old craftsman who'd forged
16:05the moonstone pendant for the silver moon alpha's daughter all those years ago this moonstone was
16:09one of a kind there was no other like it in the world he'd also learned that 10 years prior
16:14i had
16:14indeed snuck out of the silver moon territory into the no-man's land beyond the ward and the girl he'd
16:19been searching for all these years molly was the girl who'd saved him but the cruelest most devastating
16:24truth of all was this i was molly and he nearly killed me with his own two hands he ran
16:30for my
16:30chamber like a man possessed the door slammed open with a deafening crash the stone wall behind it
16:35he stormed inside and then dropped to his knees right in front of me his eyes were red bloodshot
16:40swollen shut from crying it was the first time i'd ever seen him cry he took out two half moon
16:45stones
16:46from his pocket then put them together and showed them to me but i didn't even glance at them he
16:50reached
16:50out like he wanted to grab the hem of my dress his hand was shaking so hard he could barely
16:54hold on
16:55even his voice was broken i'm sorry it was all my fault i'm so sorry i stared at him and
17:02not a
17:02single ripple stirred in my chest all those days all that torture all that humiliation all that pain
17:07had carved deep unhealing scars into my heart into my bones how could i ever forgive him with just
17:12a single i'm sorry i pulling the hem of my dress out of his grasp don't touch me
17:17i'm janek your enemy not molly his hand froze in midair his lips trembled like he wanted to say
17:23something but not a single word came out
17:33every single day he sat outside the door of my stone chamber like a child who'd done something
17:38terribly wrong he didn't dare come inside but he refused to leave sometimes when i woke up in the
17:43middle of the night i could see him through the iron bars of the window sitting against the stone
17:47wall moonlight fell across the side of his face the half piece of moonstone in his hand glowed
17:51with a faint soft blue white light the other half was clenched tight in the palm of my hand
17:55two halves of the same stone separated by a single door singing to each other across the distance like
18:00two stars in the night sky staring at each other forever out of reach he even cooked for me himself
18:05the great alpha of the dark flame pack standing awkwardly in the kitchen cutting meat his knife skills
18:10were terrible a perfect cut of venison was hacked into uneven lumpy chunks full of nicks and gashes
18:16hot oil splattered onto his hand leaving a red burn in its wake a wolf's healing ability would have
18:20fixed the wound in an instant but he still flinched wiping his hand carelessly on his sleeve before
18:24going back to cutting when he set the dishes down in front of me some were so salty they were
18:27bitter
18:27some were completely bland and some were just straight up burned black and charred beyond recognition
18:31but he still set them down in front of me carefully his eyes filled with quiet hopeful anticipation
18:36like a wolf bringing prey back to his mate waiting for me to take even just one bite
18:40he even tended to my wounds himself he held the dark flame special silver burn salve in his hand
18:44spreading it gently over the wounds on my wrists and ankles the blackened burns left by the silver
18:49chains were slow to heal his movements were so gentle like he was touching thin ice that would
18:53shatter at the slightest pressure his rough fingertips spread the salve evenly across my skin and every
18:57time he touched a wound his brow would furrow tight and he'd whisper apologies over and over again
19:02it's all my fault i've made you suffer too much he told me everything that had happened in those 10
19:08years
19:08how he'd searched for me how badly he'd wanted to find me he said he'd worn that half of the
19:14moonstone against his skin every single day for 10 years never once taking it off he'd held it in his
19:19hand every night rubbing it again and again until the rough surface of the stone had been worn smooth
19:24and warm under his fingers he said that every full moon he'd shift into his wolf form and run alone
19:29across the moors howling up at the moon begging the moon goddess to help him find molly he called me
19:35molly he said because that night he'd seen the jasmine birthmark on my neck he said he dreamed of me
19:41countless times dreamed of the girl who'd saved him in the grass the girl who'd ripped her mother's
19:46moonstone in two pressed half of it into his hand and smiled at him saying live he said every time
19:52he
19:52woke up from those dreams he'd be clutching the moonstone tight in his hand the stone warm from his body
19:57heat but the spot beside him was empty and his heart was empty too watching him do all this i'd
20:04be
20:04lying if i said my heart didn't stir even just a little but i couldn't forget i couldn't forget the
20:10cold in his eyes when he threw me into the silver chamber i couldn't forget the murderous rage in his
20:15eyes when he nearly ordered my parents killed i couldn't forget that between us there was a blood
20:20debt that could never be repaid just when the tension between us had softened just the tiniest bit
20:26new word arrived vivian had learned the truth she'd learned what we really were to each other
20:31that i was the girl he'd been searching for for 10 years that i was his faded mate she couldn't
20:37accept
20:37it for 10 years she climbed her way up the ranks of the dark flame pack holding herself up as
20:43ethan's
20:43future luna and now a faded mate had appeared out of nowhere the very same fallen alpha's daughter
20:49she'd framed and tortured over and over again what she couldn't have no one else would ever get
20:55she allied with the pax elders and they decided to have me executed when ethan found out she
21:01also walked with me that very night the dark flame territory descended into chaos instantly the elite
21:07warriors sent by the council of elders had blocked every single exit from the territory he kept me shielded
21:13behind his back one hand gripping his long blade the other holding my hand so tight our fingers were
21:18laced together like he'd never let go a warrior's blade swung toward me straight for my throat ethan
21:25didn't hesitate for a single second he spun around putting himself between me and the blade the steel
21:31sliced deep into his arm but he didn't even pause he just looked back at me his dark gray eyes
21:37filled
21:37with nothing but fear and worry for me jenica are you all right then he turned back and kept fighting
21:43through the mating bond i felt every bit of his pain clear as day but he didn't make a single
21:50sound
21:50he just bit down on his jaw swinging his blade again and again cutting a bloody path through the warriors
21:56carving out a way to freedom for us moonlight fell across his back as he fought silver light tangled with
22:02dark dripping blood the half moonstone hanging around his neck was stained bright red with blood
22:07flickering in the dark of the night singing to the other half pressed tight against my chest in that
22:13moment the ice around my heart cracked just a little more we fled to a hidden valley deep in the
22:19mountains he said he wanted to live here with me to make up for every mistake he'd ever made to
22:24ease
22:25every bit of pain he put me through to help me forget the past and start over i didn't answer
22:30but i
22:31wasn't as cold to him as i'd been before but fate had another cruel sick joke to play on us
22:37my brother dorian wasn't dead the night the silver moon pack fell he'd escaped all these years he'd
22:44gathered the remaining silver moon clansmen and allied with three other wolf packs who hated the
22:49dark flame just as much as he did and they were coming ethan knew this was a fight he couldn't
22:54outrun
22:54he looked at me his eyes filled with guilt and sorrow his hand brushing gently through my hair
23:00janita i'm sorry for dragging you into this again i promise you i'll keep you safe when this fight is
23:08over we'll come back here we'll live here quiet and peaceful together wait for me to come home i
23:14stared at him and said nothing i knew he was truly sorry i knew he truly wanted to make it
23:20up to me
23:21but some wounds would never heal not in this lifetime he left me in the valley and went back to
23:28the dark
23:28flame territory alone ethan led the dark flame warriors into battle against dorian's army i had
23:34no way of knowing how the war was going who was winning but through the mating bond i felt the
23:39sharp
23:40searing pain of ethan's wounds again and again the pain slammed into my chest so hard i dropped to my
23:46knees wrapping my arms around myself my whole body trembling uncontrollably in the end ethan won he
23:52pushed back dorian's army and defended the dark flame pack but he'd sustained a fatal wound the dark
23:58flame pack strength was decimated too dorian retreated with the remaining silver moon clansmen
24:03to go home and rebuild their pack i ran from the valley like a woman possessed when i found ethan
24:09i dropped to my knees beside him and lifted him gently into my arms his blood soaked through my
24:15dress quickly thick and warm he slowly opened his eyes looking up at me a soft relieved smile tugging
24:22at the corner of his mouth janika you finally forgive me don't you i shook my head tears streaming down
24:30my
24:30face i haven't forgiven you i just don't want you to die i have so many questions to ask you
24:38so many
24:39scores to settle with you you can't die like this you still owe me you haven't paid it back he
24:47smiled
24:48softly his eyes filled with love and endless crushing guilt he lifted his hand trying to brush my cheek his
24:55fingers trembling but before he could touch my face his hand fell limply back down i'm so sorry janea i
25:03owe you too much if there's a next life i'll never mistake you for anyone else again we could still
