00:00Every unmated young wolf in the Southern Pax Union wanted a taste of my nectar.
00:04At 16, I tricked my father's battle brother into taking his first sip.
00:09That night, he drank every last drop from me.
00:11By dawn, Silvermoon City exploded.
00:14His childhood sweetheart fled with tears.
00:16I moved into the most lavish estate in Silvermoon,
00:19became the wife of the North Legion's rising star,
00:23the woman every she-wolf envied.
00:25Every night, the entire manor reeked of rose nectar and pine,
00:29tangled so thick that passing pack members didn't dare come near.
00:33Each time he rode north with the Legion, I counted the days until his return.
00:37Until this time, he returned from the northern border as a hero,
00:41brought back his childhood sweetheart and her two-year-old cub, Amber Eyes.
00:46His Amber Eyes, he moved them into our house,
00:49taught the pup to call him Daddy.
00:51I didn't rage, didn't cry.
00:53I simply handed over the keys to our estate, the rights to the family properties.
00:57My place is Ironclaw's matriarch.
01:00He thought I'd finally learned to be docile,
01:02that I'd accepted my place as the unloved wife.
01:05What he doesn't know,
01:06while he was busy playing house with his sweetheart and their pup,
01:09I was on my knees before the Alpha King.
01:11Child, you once knelt here begging the Moonbloom's blessing for your mating bond.
01:16Do you understand what price must be paid to strever what the Moon Goddess has granted?
01:20Yes.
01:21To earn your consent, I will go to the Frostlands in the Prince's place.
01:25Bring me the Severance Oskrolt with his signature and yours.
01:29The next full moon after you deliver it,
01:32the Moon Goddess will answer your prayer.
01:34My remaining years traded for freedom.
01:36The countdown begins.
01:3821 days, that is all I have left.
01:4021 days, until the Goddess severs our bond.
01:4321 days, until I leave this cage and ride north.
01:46Not as a discarded wife, but as a bride to the Lord of the Frost.
01:50He wanted a docile wife.
01:52Never would he get one.
01:53He'll only watch me become a legendary queen.
01:5621 days, until the Moon severing rite.
01:58Kael returned from the Royal Palace and went straight to Seraphine's bed in the East Wing.
02:03I heard them.
02:04The night was still and my hearing had been trained sharp.
02:07Her moans, his growls.
02:09They coupled from Moonrise to Moonset.
02:12They had many such nights.
02:13Once whenever Kael returned to Silvermoon from the border.
02:17Lyra do not disturb me.
02:18Be a good wife.
02:19Be decile.
02:20I would bend every effort to please him,
02:22but all I earned was refusal and correction.
02:25Now I finally understood,
02:27Dossiel was for the unloved.
02:28The loved received companionship.
02:30So I learned docility.
02:32Even when my handmaiden Mira rushed to report.
02:35Mistress, today Kael went to the palace.
02:37He's petitioning the Alpha King for a formal title.
02:39For Seraphine.
02:40Let him.
02:41He failed.
02:42Of course, that evening,
02:44Seraphine wept in his arms,
02:46sorrowful and trembling.
02:47He would continue to fail.
02:49The Alpha King regarded me as his own daughter,
02:52so he would never consent to Kael's request.
02:54Not when it humiliated me.
02:56Then, as expected,
02:58Kael came seeking my help.
02:59Lyra.
02:59Your petition?
03:01The King refused.
03:02I will ask again.
03:03With military honors with-
03:05I drew a scroll from beneath my pillow
03:07and pressed it into his palm.
03:09Give her the title.
03:10My signature marked it.
03:11The Royal Seal marked it.
03:13Formally acknowledge her.
03:14Let her enter the halls.
03:16Attend pack gatherings.
03:18Gain standing in society.
03:19A female raising a bastard cut alone in Silvermoon?
03:22Survival is too harsh.
03:25Kael's expression faltered at my indifference.
03:27Your military honors were bought with years of blood on the northern border.
03:31Do not waste them on household issues.
03:33How did you convince the King?
03:35The King regards me as his daughter.
03:36I asked as a daughter, and he granted it.
03:39Of course, the truth was simpler.
03:41I had offered to sever our mating and take the princess's place as bride to the Lord of the Frost.
03:46That was my price.
03:48Now only his signature stood between us and freedom.
03:51Sel's eyes trembled, moved by my reasonableness.
03:54He stepped forward.
03:56Seeking to kiss me, I pushed him away.
03:58From my drawer, I withdrew the prepared family property inventory.
04:02Your signature is required to formally transfer management to Seraphithine.
04:06Eager to please Seraphine, he signed and sealed without hesitation.
04:10Never noticing that buried in the stack of documents lay the mating bond dissolution agreement.
04:15I had hidden from him.
04:17Once he signed, once it was delivered to the moonbloom altar,
04:20On the next full moon, when the moon goddess's consent arrived,
04:23He and I would be north and south, never to meet again.
04:26Twenty days until the moon-severing rite.
04:28I secured Kael's signed documents and went to the palace.
04:32The Luna Queen received me very soon.
04:34With this severance scroll, the Alpha King can arrange the moon-severing rite for the next full moon in twenty
04:40days.
04:40You...
04:41The Luna Queen hesitated.
04:43Lyra, there is something...
04:45I think you should know.
04:46The moonbloom priests discovered large quantities of Frostmoongrass toxin in the calming tea samples you sent last month.
04:53This poison is extracted from the northern wastelands, colorless and tasteless, extremely cold in nature.
04:58If a she-wolf consumes it long term, she will be barren for life.
05:03The words fell softly.
05:05My mind went white.
05:07Frostmoongrass toxin, a forbidden substance only the North Legion could access.
05:11In that calming tea, Kael had prepared it himself after every border return.
05:16I had drunk it for three full years.
05:19Thirty-six moon cycles.
05:21How many tears had I shed?
05:22Believing myself barren.
05:24Unable to give Kael an heir.
05:26Unable to make him a father.
05:28Yet Kael had said it mattered not.
05:30When elders urged him to seek other females for bloodline continuation.
05:34I will only raise young with the one I love.
05:36And I will touch no other she-wolves.
05:38I had wept at his devotion believing I was that love.
05:42Now I saw myself the complete fool.
05:45The one he wished to raise young with was not me.
05:47I was of the other she-wolves.
05:49Tears finally spilled.
05:51Unstoppable.
05:51So this was his sworn devotion.
05:54This was the mate I had loved for three years.
05:56I rushed back to the estate, desperate to confront him.
06:00The sitting room was empty.
06:02The study was empty.
06:03Then they must be in the East Wing.
06:04The East Wing maids could not stop my fury.
06:07I burst through the door.
06:08Seraphine's musk scent engulfed me.
06:10But the room was empty.
06:12The master accompanies Madame Seraphine on inspection of family holdings.
06:16Rage seized me.
06:17I grabbed every document on her desk to tear them apart.
06:20Then I saw it.
06:21My moon.
06:22My blood.
06:23My only.
06:24Counting the days until I need not share your shadow.
06:26Every word burned with the heat of faded mates.
06:29From sale to Seraphine.
06:31From number one, the first day I miss you, to number 523.
06:35My heart flies to thee.
06:37Three years of marriage.
06:39523 letters.
06:41Messengers could scarcely have rested, delivering daily.
06:44Every day they corresponded in secret.
06:46Even on nights I believed he belonged only to me.
06:49Only raise young with the one I love.
06:51I whispered his words and I knew.
06:53This love he had performed for three years.
06:56All of it illusion.
06:57Fortunately, the moon bloom tree would sever our bond in 20 days.
07:01And Kale's formal acknowledgement ceremony for Seraphine.
07:05That same day.
07:06Ten days until the moon-sivering rite.
07:09Kale's return to Silvermoon grew later and later.
07:12Mira told me he spent these days taking Seraphine everywhere.
07:16Pack gatherings from the Alpha King's moon hunt ceremonies.
07:19To the seven clans rotating blood oath banquets.
07:22Even the border military councils.
07:24Restricted to North Legion officers and Silvermoon officials.
07:28Sale found ways to seat Seraphine among the observers.
07:31I knew what he was doing.
07:33Fastest way to establish her as future matriarch of Ironclaw.
07:37Every step climbed over my spine.
07:39But I did not care.
07:40I continued performing my duties as Ironclaw's current matriarch.
07:44Including visiting Kale's grandmother at her estate.
07:47The moment I entered I saw Seraphine kneeling beside the old woman's lounge chair.
07:52Hands folded, the picture of obedience.
07:55Kale stood behind her, palm resting on her shoulder.
07:58Fingers buried in her loose red hair.
08:00The grandmother's clouded amber eyes sharpened at my presence.
08:04You still have the face to come here?
08:06Three years mated to Kale and your belly remains empty.
08:10You wouldn't even let him seek other she-wolves to continue the bloodline.
08:15If not for Seraphine's sensibility, offering to enter the house and bear Ironcloth's heir,
08:22Kale's line would have ended with you, this useless barren she-wolf.
08:26My posture froze.
08:28I looked at Kale.
08:29He only turned away.
08:30His gaze fixed on the dancing flames in the hearth.
08:32Not once did he speak to me.
08:34This was not the first time his grandmother had tormented me over the topic of bearing Young.
08:38But it was the first time he had not stood by my side.
08:41I remained silent for a long moment.
08:44Then, empty of grief or rage.
08:46It is my failing.
08:47There, there, grandmother, don't be angry.
08:50Even if Sister Lyra cannot bear Young, you should calm yourself.
08:54For Kale's sake.
08:56And for your own health's sake.
09:00I lowered my eyes, hiding bitterness, and seated myself farthest from them.
09:04Soon made-served grilled meat.
09:06The traditional morning meal of wolf nobility.
09:09I reached with silver fork for a cut of tenderloin when Kale's furious voice cracked like a whip.
09:14Who prepared silverberry sauce?
09:1620 strips, now!
09:17I looked at Kale instinctively.
09:19Three years mated, and Kale was famous for one thing.
09:22At a moon hunt banquet, he had publicly smashed his plate, removing every dish containing silverberries.
09:29Because I was allergic, the berry swelled my throat, stripped my human form, left me vulnerable in half-wolf shape
09:35before the pack.
09:36For this, Kale became the perfect mate in every she-wolf's eyes.
09:40See how Ironclaw's master loves his wife, the trouble he takes for her.
09:44I opened my mouth to plead for the maids when I heard.
09:47Remember this well.
09:48Serafina cannot consume anything related to silverberries.
09:51If I see you forget again, I'll throw you into the northern mines to feed the snow wolves.
09:56...every fragment of my pride.
09:58So, this rare proof that he cared for me, also an illusion.
10:04Five days until the moon-severing rite, the Luna Queen invited females of all clans to the Moonbloom Garden for
10:11pre-ceremony blessings.
10:12Sale had prepared the carriage early.
10:14The Ironclaw crest, Iron Wolf on cold silver, gleamed through morning mist.
10:18I reached for his hands instinctively.
10:21But he stepped back.
10:22The carriage is crowded.
10:23Inconvenient.
10:24I froze.
10:25Lyra, it truly is cramped.
10:27You'll have to take the rear carriage, I'm afraid.
10:30I laughed quietly, understanding.
10:32Inconvenient.
10:33Not the space.
10:34Me.
10:34I would crowd his true love.
10:36I climbed the rear carriage alone.
10:38When I got off the rear carriage, I came to the cluster of weighing looks from clan females.
10:43Pity.
10:43Mockery.
10:44Mockery.
10:44Rare sparks of sympathy.
10:45Seraphine proudly made her formal debut before the Luna Queen.
10:49It went poorly, the Luna Queen's face iced, she demanded Kale.
10:52I am the Luna Queen appointed by the Moongoss's own oracle to wed the Alpha King.
10:57I invited clan dignitaries and their goddess blessed mates.
11:01You dare to bring a Paranor today.
11:05Do you mean to strike my face?
11:08Kale dragged the trembling Seraphine down, not a curtsy, but the four-limbed submission
11:13posture of wolves showing fealty.
11:15Your grace, Seraphine is my mate.
11:18We love truly.
11:19She is no Parazor.
11:21The Luna Queen laughed coldly, fangs glinting.
11:24Unblessed by the moon, she is no mate.
11:27Ask those gathered, who sense bond marks between you?
11:31Forget not.
11:32You stood beneath the moon bloom tree and swore to Lyra.
11:36This one before you is unbonded.
11:38She can only be the Paraman.
11:40Females of all houses spoke.
11:42The Queen speaks truth.
11:44What love, what truth, what love.
11:48Without fating reach, she is outsider.
11:51Indeed, Kale was called the model of fated devotion.
11:54I see now all falsehood.
11:56Kale's face flushed crimson.
11:58He fled with Seraphine, disgraced.
12:01After the ceremony, the Luna Queen showered me with gifts.
12:04Moonstone charms, silverberry preserves, northern furs for warmth, comfort, perhaps, or pity.
12:10The morning after our return to Ironclaw State,
12:13Meera fumed at me.
12:14Seraphine's people seized half the Queen's gifts.
12:17Best she ate at all, silverberries included.
12:19Let her be allergic, swell, and suffer.
12:21I watched Meera's indignation and gently patted her hand.
12:25She is not worth the charge of attempted murder.
12:27I went to the east wing to fulfill my obligation of notice.
12:31My hand rose to knock.
12:32Then I heard Seraphine's weeping voice within.
12:35Kale, you swore to take me as true mate beneath the moonbloom tree.
12:39Why must I remain nameless, unacknowledged?
12:43Kale sighed.
12:44That tone I had never heard from him, soft as melting snow.
12:48Whatever outsiders say, within Ironclone you are my mate.
12:53Always.
12:54Seraphine pressed on.
12:55Then Lyra, three years mated, did you ever love her?
12:59I held my breath.
13:01Nails bit crescents into my palm, drawing blood.
13:04Kale was silent.
13:06Seraphine, I love you.
13:08Only you.
13:09Years ago, I arranged Lyba's drunkenness and my mating with her to establish myself in Silvermoon.
13:14To bring you both here.
13:16Do not be angry.
13:17I drugged her for our future.
13:20Without that knight, how would I have caught the King's eye?
13:23Become North Legion commander in three short years?
13:26My raised hand fell limp.
13:28The wolf tooth bracelet on my wrist struck the door ring.
13:32A sharp cry.
13:33Who is outside?
13:34Kale threw the door open, met my burning eyes.
13:38L-Lyra.
13:39I forced a hideous smile.
13:41The Queen's gifts Seraphine took included silver berries.
13:45I came to warn her not to consume them.
13:47Sel reached for my hand, blocking my departure.
13:50Lyra, listen to me.
13:51A pained wail cut him short from within.
13:54A maid's voice rose.
13:55Master!
13:56Madam Seraphine feels unwell.
13:58Please attend her!
13:59His hand withdrew.
14:00I turned and left without looking back.
14:03One more second and I would have lost control.
14:06The wine would have escaped.
14:07My half-wolf phone would have shown my shame.
14:09I bit down until blood filled my mouth.
14:12Eyes crimson.
14:13Even walking away, I felt Kale's panic.
14:15Burning gaze on my spine.
14:17Kale, you disgust me.
14:18To the core, all these years I blamed myself for that impulsive night.
14:22Believed I had forced you into marriage.
14:24Now I learned I was your ladder to power.
14:27Your tool to claim Alpha King's attention.
14:29Your key to unlock my late father's Northern Legion connections.
14:33Three years of marriage I had cherished.
14:35Every moment, deception.
14:37Three days until the moon-severing rite.
14:39Late that night, a drunken Kale pushed open my door.
14:42I sat up, pulling the quilt to cover my thin nightgown.
14:45Who permitted you entry?
14:47Kale pressed me down into the bedding.
14:49His face buried in my neck.
14:51His voice rough with irritation.
14:53You are my mate.
14:54Blessed beneath the moon-bloom tree.
14:56We are fated pair.
14:58Why may I not come?
15:00He tried to kiss my jaw.
15:02I turned away, calling loudly for Mir-
15:04Mira!
15:04He is drunk.
15:05Arrange for him to be escorted to his own chamber.
15:08Kale braced himself on one arm.
15:10The other forcing me to face him.
15:11I saw the flush drain from his face.
15:13Who says I wish to return to that chamber?
15:16Then deliver the master to Seraphina's east wing.
15:19Sail flung himself from the bed, standing to glare at me in fury.
15:24Lyra, have you lost your mind?
15:26You would send me to another she-wolf's quarter?
15:28Do you even regard me as mate?
15:31I pulled at the corner of my mouth.
15:33Do you ever regard me as mate?
15:35Lyra, I know granting Seraphina title displeases you.
15:38I only...
15:39I only wish to give you a young.
15:42Give me a young?
15:44So Seraphine is avatar of the fertility goddess?
15:47Thanks to her blessing, I, who never conceived, may now bear fruit?
15:51Or perhaps she is a miracle healer, able to purge three years of frostmoongrass toxin from my blood?
15:56The drugging laid bare in mockery.
15:58Kale froze, reaching as if to grasp me.
16:02Lyra, I-
16:02Master!
16:03Madam Seraphine feels unwell.
16:05Please attend her!
16:06A maid's voice cut through from beyond the door.
16:09Sel loosened his hand, standing silent.
16:12Go.
16:12I lowered the bed curtains, separating myself from him.
16:16Sel did not move.
16:17He only watched me for a long while.
16:19The voice outside continued.
16:21Master! Master!
16:22Sel finally turned.
16:24As he left.
16:25Do not dwell on it.
16:26I will still treat you well.
16:28Lyres speak devotion so easily,
16:30performing depth for whom to witness.
16:32Disgusting.
16:33The following days, I had Myra inventory all my personal property.
16:37I would take nothing belonging to Ironclaw.
16:40Leave nothing of myself behind.
16:42If we do, Moonister, we sever it clean.
16:44Three hours until the moon-severing right.
16:47The estate was hung with silver, white silk, and moonbloom branches.
16:51Decorations reserved for true mating ceremonies.
16:53Seraphine had insisted.
16:55Seal had granted it.
16:56Myra entered, interrupting my gaze through the window.
16:59Madam, all your personal assets have been inventrated and packed.
17:03She helped me remove the Ironclaw-crested cloak before the mirror,
17:07dressing me in gowns from my maiden days.
17:09Beautiful.
17:10You look as you did then.
17:12The door opened.
17:13Sel stood in mating rights attire, a groom's finery.
17:16Yet his face carried something like sorrow.
17:20Soon I go to swear with Seraphine beneath the moonbloom tree.
17:24Have you nothing to say to me?
17:25May your bond hold firm.
17:28May you bear many young.
17:29Kale's eyes dimmed after silence.
17:32Rest assured, I will still treat you well.
17:35I said nothing.
17:36Rose pushed past him toward the door.
17:38Kale, I never wanted your charity, especially not built on lies.
17:42Three hours until Alpha King's envoy arrives.
17:45The incense of the moonbloom herb filled the estate to purification for ritual space.
17:50One hour until the moon severing rite.
17:53I stood in the main hall.
17:54Pity, mockery, schadenfreude.
17:57I smiled at them all.
17:58Thirty minutes until the moon severing rite.
18:01Kale took Seraphine's hand.
18:03The pair advanced toward the temporary altar in the estate gardens, surrounded by guests.
18:08He paused passing me, eyes holding something I did not understand.
18:12Would not understand.
18:13I only watched coldly as the pair prepared their vows.
18:17Swear to the moon goddess.
18:18Swear to the pack.
18:20Swear to...
18:21Decree from the Alpha King.
18:22Silver, armored guards burst through, escorting moonbloom priest Eldrin in moon white ritual robes.
18:29Moonbloom priest Eldrin spoke calmly.
18:32I trust my arrival does not interrupt your...
18:36Celebration?
18:39Priest, you jest.
18:41What business brings the Alpha King's decree?
18:44Today is Kale's joyous occasion.
18:47The king surely brings honors.
18:50Obvious, is it not?
18:51The king himself approved this second mate.
18:54He comes to add blessing.
18:56Ah, but if so, Lady Lyra will be thoroughly shamed.
18:59First, the king's approval for Seraphine, now wedding day honors.
19:03She'll have no standing left in Silvermoon nobility.
19:06Shh.
19:06Lyra might hear.
19:07I felt their pity, mocking eyes.
19:10My face remained serene.
19:11I stepped before Eldrin, kneeling to receive the decree, then was roughly pulled aside.
19:16Kale's grandmother surged forward, fawning smile for Eldrin, venomous glare for me.
19:22Move aside!
19:23This must be the king's blessing for Kale and Seraphine.
19:25Do not disgrace us here!
19:27Her whisper carried.
19:28Kale's face darkened.
19:30He reached for me.
19:31I evaded.
19:31Grandmother, Lyra is my first mate.
19:33How could she disgrace us?
19:34Such words shame me.
19:35Whatever comes, Lyra remains Ironclaw's first lady.
19:38Shock rippled through the hall.
19:40Especially Seraphine.
19:41What do you mean?
19:43You said I was the mate you wanted!
19:45Lyra was only a convenience!
19:47Guests beyond heard clearly.
19:49What I misheard?
19:50Kale never loved Lady Lyra.
19:52Only the parasite.
19:53This is ridiculous.
19:55Seraphine flung her bouquet to the floor.
19:57Lyra, hear me well.
20:00Kale never loved you.
20:01Never!
20:02He married you from necessity.
20:04Even your mating night, he spent it writing to me!
20:07Silence!
20:10Lyra, listen.
20:11I can explain.
20:13She is mad.
20:14Her words are false.
20:15I love you.
20:16I truly love you.
20:17I looked at his face and felt only irony.
20:20Three years married.
20:21Three years I loved him truly.
20:23In return, five twenty-three nights of secret letters.
20:26Poison in my tea, made barren before his grandmother's contempt.
20:30Now I woke.
20:32Now I chose not to love.
20:33Yet he spoke of love.
20:34Eh.
20:35I laughed.
20:36Ironic.
20:37Absolute belated devotion.
20:38How cheap.
20:39I smoothed my disheveled hair, knelt slow and certain before Eldrin.
20:42Priest.
20:43Read the decree.
20:45Eldrin nodded, opening the moonstone casket, withdrawing the gold-sealed scroll.
20:50All knelt to hear.
20:51Only Kale remained frozen, standing.
20:54Some foreboding gripped him.
20:55As though something precious would slip away.
20:58Wait!
20:58Kale's voice cut through.
21:00All turned to stare-shock confusion.
21:02His grandmother seized his ritual garment, whispering urgently.
21:06Whatever it is, wait until the priest finishes.
21:10Kale opened his mouth, met Eldrin's displeased gaze.
21:13Kale, you repeatedly interrupt Alpha King's decree.
21:16Do you question the king's proxy of the moon goddess's will?
21:20The threat woke him.
21:21He knelt silent.
21:23Eldrin cleared his throat, unrolled the gold-sealed scroll.
21:26By the moon goddess's name, the Alpha King decrees.
21:28The king's ward Lyra Silverstone and Kale Ironclect's moonbloom-blessed bond is formally severed at the consent of the moon
21:35goddess.
21:36Henceforth, each may wed where they will.
21:40So ends the decree.
21:42Eldrin's voice fell.
21:44Kale and his grandmother cried out together.
21:46Priest, have you misread?
21:49How could the king permit Lyra to sever our moon bonding?
21:52This must be error.
21:53His grandmother followed.
21:54Lyra is Kale's mate, blessed beneath the moonbloom tree.
21:57How can severance be so casual?
21:59Eldrin ignored them.
22:00Congratulations, Miss Lyra.
22:02You may return home today.
22:05I received the gold-sealed scroll with both hands, my truest smile in days.
22:11Priest Eldrin, my thanks.
22:13Eldrin sighed, his gaze fond.
22:15No need. I watched you grow from cub, child.
22:18The king grieves for you, too.
22:21Then all remembered who I was.
22:23Beyond Kale Ironclaw's first mate, I was Silverstone's daughter, only child of the late North Legion commander.
22:29When my parents fell, the Alpha King and Luna Queen raised me among their own.
22:33Before marriage, few noble females, but the princesses in Silvermoon ranked above me, married to Kale.
22:39His careful construction made my first a tribute Kale Ironclaw's wife, erasing my old fame as the Pearl of Silvermoon.
22:47Eldrin departed soon after.
22:48The festive estate fell silent.
22:50Guests exchanged glances, then withdrew as one.
22:53The royal carriage arrived, with twenty moon guards to transport my belongings.
22:58As I left, Kale seized my sleeve.
23:03Lyra, did you petition the king for this severance?
23:06Take it from the many months after myượcivilclaw's wife, Henry Brown lut efficacious and readerored.
23:06G تم o'odies of what the American army is doing, it just went and eventually went and eventually went.
