00:02My sister forced me to crawl to the healer to prove our wolf's pride
00:07While she stripped for a beta and called it love
00:10I died that winter
00:11Now I'm back
00:13And I'm walking straight into the arms of the cruelest prince
00:16In my past life
00:18The day our mother was gasping her final breath
00:20A noblewoman tossed us a bowl of thick porridge
00:23We used to be royal
00:24How could we take scraps from a lesser rank?
00:27I watched the light fade from my mother's sunken eyes
00:30Her hand going cold and mild
00:32To survive
00:33We entered the Lycan Palace as servant girls
00:36Lyra sold off what remained of our mother's belongings
00:39And bought herself a new set of clothes
00:42When the head matron came to select maids
00:45My sister's silk gown stood out among every head turned
00:49She only straightened her spine
00:51Allara
00:51What have I always taught you?
00:54No matter the circumstance
00:56Dress with dignity
00:58Never let yourself appear lesser
01:00This servant carries herself well
01:03My sister curtsied, poised
01:06Neither fawning nor cold
01:08I was once taught by a tutor who said that no matter how harsh one's circumstances
01:12A wolf must always tend to her own dignity
01:15Wolf pride
01:17You'll serve in the real chamber
01:20The sister is composed and clean
01:23This one looks like she rolled through the mud
01:25Send her to the washing dens
01:27My sister claimed the better post
01:29The same as last time
01:30A duty is just a means of surviving
01:32Good or bad
01:33They're all the same
01:35But the washing dens were brutal
01:36Exhausting
01:37And the man in charge of it was a disgusting creep
01:40Who simply can't take his eyes off young girls
01:43I had barely stepped into the washing dens
01:46Before Thorne set his sights on me
01:48His gaze crawled over my body like something rotting
01:52Demanding I warm his bed
01:53No
01:54My defiance enraged him
01:56He buried me under every filthy, back-breaking task he could find
02:00Every day I drowned in laundry
02:02From before dawn until past midnight
02:05My hands swelled until I could barely close my fists
02:08My sister's hands, meanwhile, painted rune stones
02:12One night, I had just wrung out the last garment
02:15When something seized my sleeve
02:17And yanked me toward the dark tree lawn beside the pack
02:20Thorne pressed his weight down on me
02:24Scream all you want
02:25No one is coming
02:26Beta Silas passed that way
02:28He heard my cry and pulled me from beneath Thorne
02:31What the fuck do you think you are doing in the royal palace?
02:35Throne staggered off
02:37Fleeing
02:37Silas turned to me
02:39I was disheveled
02:40Eyes burning red
02:41You looked like a frightened rabbit
02:43So cute
02:44He offered to take me as his mistress
02:46I'll keep you safe
02:47I am not gonna lie
02:47I nearly wept with relief
02:49But then my sister arrived
02:51Lyra came to Silas's quarters that night
02:53Wearing only a thin shift
02:55Allara
02:56How can you sink so low as to become someone's mistress?
03:00Didn't we vow we would only accept a true mate bond?
03:03One soul?
03:03For life?
03:04I carry pride all my life
03:06How do I have a sister who would grovel and submit like a rogue with no pride left?
03:12How did I miss a prize like you in these pits?
03:21You've got fire in those eyes
03:23I like that
03:23That night
03:24My sister became Silas's chosen consort
03:30Didn't you say you didn't want to be a mistress?
03:32What would you know?
03:33Silas keeps me because he likes me
03:35What we have between us is real
03:36Lyra you call us
03:37Allara
03:37A wolf stands on her own four paws
03:39I may be Vita mistress now
03:41But you are still an Omega servant
03:42Your path is yours to carve
03:44Don't expect me to clear the way for you
03:50That is your fate
03:52I have a very low tolerance for noise
03:54And I find the screams of a woman particularly grating
03:56Alpha Kaelin wound up
03:57He had Thorn killed
03:59But my hands were already rotting
04:01I sent word to my sister
04:02I begged her to summon a pack healer
04:05She sent back only this
04:06A wolf with pride does not beg
04:08Even if you must crawl
04:09Crawl yourself to the healers
04:11I dragged myself toward the healing den
04:13Ran out of strength and crashed to the earth
04:16In my fading vision
04:17I thought I saw my mother
04:18During the famine
04:20Our mother had given us everything
04:21A noble wolf
04:23Seeing her near collapse
04:24Offered her a bowl of broth
04:26Our tutor taught us
04:28A wolf of worth does not eat
04:30What is thrown down in pity
04:31Our pack would rather starve
04:32Than accept charity
04:33Our mother eventually passed away
04:36I died too
04:37On the road
04:38When I woke up again
04:39I found myself returning
04:40To the day Matron allocated us
04:42Where are your manners?
04:44Thank the Matron
04:45Now
04:47Allara
04:48What are you doing?
04:53Allara, let go of me
04:55You feral girl
04:56What is this?
04:59Even if you're angry at the mate
05:00For sending you to the washing duns
05:02Don't take it out on me
05:05What a savage creature
05:07We cannot keep this one in the palace
05:08Send her to the rogue trader
05:10Alpha Kaelin appeared
05:11He stopped directly in front of me
05:14In my last life
05:15He had passed this spot too
05:16But never looked at me
05:17This time
05:18The prince drew a silk cloth
05:19Don't sell her
05:20Send her to my chambers
05:22My sister's eyes went wide
05:24Disbelieving
05:25Your highness
05:26Surely you've made an error
05:27My sister is vulgar and base
05:29I am the one with true pride
05:30The prince gave her a single cold glance
05:32My gamble had worked
05:34In my last life
05:35I had once witnessed two servants fighting
05:38Then chosen the one who struck harder
05:40To serve at his side
05:41So today
05:42I had struck in front of everyone
05:44One reason
05:45To lash out the anger buried in my chest
05:48The other
05:48To make the prince notice me
05:50So my sister went to the rune chamber as before
05:53While I became Alpha Kaelin's personal attendant
05:56My monthly allowance exceeded hers
05:58But from the day she entered the palace
06:01She had also begun wearing earrings
06:03Bracelets that chimed at her wrists
06:05Every servant girl envied her
06:07Lyra only lifted her chin higher
06:09We live once
06:10Always shine
06:12Around the same time
06:13The steward cataloged the rune chamber
06:16And found parchment and painting tools missing
06:19Like in palace stock
06:20Worth more than any servant's yearly wage
06:23Every quarter was searched
06:25Nothing turned up
06:26Then someone pointed at Lyra
06:28She's been in the rune chamber since day one
06:30And the way she dresses?
06:35Those are things I bought with my own savings
06:37Besides
06:39A wolf with true pride does not steal
06:41That's fair
06:42Lyra has too much pride to steal palace for company
06:44She must have bought it with her own coin
06:46But where had she gotten coin?
06:48We arrived at the palace with nothing
06:50Our mother's possessions had barely covered one silk skirt
06:53I had no proof
06:55I couldn't accuse her
06:56Then one morning
06:57I was hauled before the head matron without warning
07:00Do you know what you've done?
07:01Matron
07:02What are you referring to?
07:04I knew from the day she attacked Lyra she's no good
07:06But who would have thought she'd be bold enough to steal from the palace itself?
07:10Thank the moon goddess Lyra has principles
07:13She turned her own sister in
07:15Otherwise this one would have walked free
07:16My sister exhaled a long, sorrowful breath
07:19Lyra
07:19Last night when you came off duty
07:21I noticed you creeping around like you were hiding something
07:24I looked closer
07:25And you were clutching a piece of the ancestral wolf stone beneath your cloak
07:28She shook her head with theatrical disappointment
07:31Why steal?
07:32This is a grave offense
07:33Found it! Found it!
07:35A guard came sprinting in
07:38Under Lyra's pillow
07:40Right here!
07:41He raised a small, smooth piece of runestone
07:43The head matron seized my shoulders
07:46And forced me to my knees
07:47What do you have to say for yourself?
07:50Before I could speak
07:52Matron
07:52My sister has done something wrong and I will not plead for her
07:55But I failed to raise her properly
07:59Punished me alongside her
08:00You did the right thing by reporting it
08:02I should be rewarding you, not punishing you
08:05Then she turned back to me
08:07I'll report this to the prince
08:09Fifty strokes of the rod
08:12Then she gets sold
08:13That piece of wolf stone isn't mine
08:15It was
08:16I'm asking one thing
08:18Was it found under your pillow?
08:21Yes
08:21She didn't let me say another word
08:25My sister insisted on coming along
08:27She had dressed carefully today
08:30Alpha Kaelin was reading when we swept in
08:33He looked up with a slight furrow between his brows
08:35What has Elora done?
08:40Thank the moon goddess
08:41Cinerea had the integrity
08:43To come forward to report her own sister
08:46My sister stepped up
08:47Smoothing a strand of hair behind her ear
08:49I don't play favorites
08:50Not even with my own blood, your highness
08:53Please punish my sister severely as a warning to others
08:56The prince didn't look at her
08:59Elora
09:00You didn't explain yourself?
09:02They had already decided I was guilty
09:04They wouldn't listen
09:07When I gave you that piece of the ancestral wolf stone
09:09What did I say?
09:11You said that slamming someone's head against a wall is inelegant
09:15You suggested I simply throw the wolf stone at their skull directly
09:18My sister's face drained white
09:22Then I believe you can use it now
09:24I tore the wolf stone fragment from the guard's eyes
09:27She let out a sharp cry
09:29The head matron stumbled backward
09:31Oh, I see now
09:34The wolf stone was a gift from the prince to Elora
09:37I misunderstood
09:40I wrongly accused you
09:42It was you who stirred this
09:44You made me accuse Elora for nothing
09:47You are the head matron
09:48You took one side without investigation
09:50And let someone attack a member of my household on false claims
09:55You are dismissed
09:56The matron and my sister were removed together
09:59I retrieved the wolf stone from the floor
10:02A hairline fracture had split the surface
10:05Pity
10:05When I spotted a figure I knew too well on the side path near the washing den
10:10Thorn
10:11Walking and fastening his belt as he went
10:15No, didn't he?
10:16I waited until he disappeared
10:18Then moved deep into the shadows of the path
10:21There, half hidden in the dark
10:23Lay a young she-wolf
10:24Bruises and red marks covered her skin
10:27She was sobbing quietly
10:29She heard me approach
10:30But didn't move
10:32Only stared up at the black sky with empty eyes
10:35I knew what had happened to her
10:37In my last life
10:39It had happened to me too
10:40She scrambled suddenly to her feet
10:43Teeth clenched and ran
10:45I grabbed her wrist
10:47What are you doing?
10:48Her voice was barely a sound
10:50I-I can't go on living
10:52You'd end your life because that old bastard hurt you?
10:55You don't understand
10:56It isn't the first time
10:59He drags me into the dark whenever he wants
11:02He doesn't stop even when I'm bleeding from my moon cycle
11:07I truly cannot go on
11:09Something broke open in my chest
11:11I should have found Thorn sooner
11:13I knew what kind of wolf he was
11:15Even if it hadn't been me in his path
11:17He would have hunted someone else
11:19I had let this happen
11:21I pressed my hand to her shoulder
11:23And wiped the tears from her face
11:25Let me deal with him for you
11:26Would that help?
11:28She stared at me
11:29Is that...
11:31Possible?
11:33The next night
11:34The young she-wolf sent Thorn a message
11:37To meet her along the side path near the east courtyard
11:40Thorn came shuffling up the path
11:42Why all the secrecy?
11:44What surprise have you got for me tonight?
11:47Then he saw my face instead
11:51Who are you?
11:52I swallowed back my revulsion
11:54I only just arrived at the palace
11:56I have no one here
11:58I heard you're a man of standing
12:00And I thought...
12:04I'd ask for your protection
12:05Thorn stared
12:06Genuinely thrown
12:08In all his years
12:09No she-wolf had ever come seeking him willingly
12:13Will you take me under your care?
12:16Thorn swallowed hard
12:17That little girl did me proud
12:19Going out to find me a new friend
12:20He started toward me
12:22Lust clouding every movement
12:25The stench of him hit me before he did
12:27Every brutal memory rose at once
12:32Oh she wants us to play
12:35Come on
12:38Beg and resist all you want
12:40Then I spotted something on the path of love
12:42Pale ship moving toward us through the dark
12:45Every evening at this hour
12:47Alpha Kaelin took his walk
12:49In my last life
12:50It was on one of these walks that he found me beneath Thorn
12:54And had the man put down
12:56So when Thorn's fingers reached for the laces at my waist
12:59Help me!
13:01You lured me here just to play games?
13:04No
13:04I'll make you regret this before the night's over
13:08A lantern swung into view
13:10Alpha Kaelin had arrived
13:13Your highness
13:14Please
13:15He pulled me upright
13:17His eyes moving immediately to my loosened collar
13:20And understood everything without a word spoken
13:24Your highness
13:25This servant came to me herself
13:27She invited me out here
13:31Liar
13:32I am the prince's personal attendant
13:34Why would I lower myself to someone like you?
13:37You dare do this within palace wells?
13:40Your highness
13:41I swear it
13:45She arranged this meeting
13:46The girl sent for me herself
13:51She arranged it
13:53Then show me proof
13:54Thorn had nothing
13:56He knew the young she-wolf and I would never betray each other
13:59Without testimony
14:01He stood naked of any evidence
14:03I can bear witness
14:05My sister arranged this meeting herself
14:07My sister was walking toward us through the moonlight
14:11I followed her after noticing her heading toward the east courtyard
14:15I was curious
14:16I heard it myself
14:18Yes
14:19My sister told him he was a man of standing here in the palace
14:22That she wanted his protection
14:23Yes, exactly as she says
14:25She summoned me
14:26Is that true?
14:27I considered denying it
14:29Alara
14:31I want the truth
14:32My pulse lurched
14:33He already suspected something
14:35Yes
14:36I arranged it
14:37He had been violating a young she-wolf in the dens repeatedly
14:40I couldn't continue to watch it happen
14:42I knew Urijus walks here every evening
14:45I brought him to this spot so you would find him
14:47Sister
14:47You dared to use the prince this way
14:49That is unforgivable
14:50Thank the moon goddess I was here to witness everything, your highness
14:54Otherwise you would have been deceived entirely
14:56The prince had thrown a dagger at my feet
14:59Alara
15:00Alara
15:00This is the first time you've used me
15:02My sister stood in the moonlight
15:04Using people through these degrading schemes has no dignity
15:07The prince wants you dead, do it yourself
15:09But the prince nodded toward his guards and they pinned Thorne
15:13Kill him
15:14The prince saw my hesitation
15:17Too afraid
15:20Afraid?
15:21I closed my eyes and let the memories flood in
15:23The weight of him
15:25The shame
15:28My grip on the blade hardened
15:30A scream split the dark
15:32First cut
15:33I unmade him as a male
15:35Second cut
15:36Straight into his heart
15:46Where did this wolf do his work?
15:49The washing dens
15:50Since you testified so enthusiastically on his behalf and seem so fond of him
15:54You can go work in the dens yourself
15:57My sister was stripped of her post in the rune chamber
16:00Just like past me
16:01She became a low rank omega
16:03Buried under mountains of soiled laundry every single day
16:07I went to see her
16:09Her hands were submerged in the wash basin
16:13Growing up
16:14She had never touched a household chore
16:16Too proud for that
16:17The scrubbing and the hauling fell to me and our mother
16:21So her hands had no calluses
16:24Now, only a few days in
16:26They were already swollen
16:27Faster!
16:28There's another basket after this one
16:30She yanked her hands back
16:32Wincing hard
16:33These hands are meant for painting and
16:35You're in the washing dens now
16:37What writing?
16:38Let's see if I can beat some sense into you
16:41I walked past and glanced over
16:43That is my blood sister
16:44She is Alpha Kaelin's personal attendant
16:46She speaks for him
16:47Sister
16:49A wolf stands on her own four paws
16:51Your path is yours to carve
16:53Don't expect me to clear the way for you
16:56You heard her, didn't you?
16:58Your powerful little sister wants nothing to do with you
17:01What?
17:01I left to the sound of her muffled crying
17:03And was still half lost in the echo of it
17:06When I walked straight through the prince's closed chamber door
17:09When Alpha Kaelin's door was closed
17:12No one entered without his explicit permission
17:18Then I noticed the hidden room door
17:20Open
17:21The prince was inside
17:23Holding a carving blade
17:32Allara
17:33Come here
17:34I crossed the threshold
17:36The man on the frame had barely any breath left in him
17:41Disturbing, isn't it?
17:43He survived a boiling pull
17:44He survived fire
17:46He has survived everything
17:47Holding on to that last thread of life
17:50I've been teaching myself to carve
17:52Are you frightened, Allara?
17:54No
17:55I only want to ask
17:56What did he do to deserve this?
17:58Years ago there was a rebellion
18:00My birth mother was separated from the palace
18:02And thrown to the outer wilds
18:04He was the leader of the rogues who found her
18:06They degraded her until she died of shame
18:08I killed every last one of them
18:10Except him
18:11Death would be a mercy for someone like him
18:14Shocked and afraid, aren't you?
18:16The prince who shines in public
18:18Rotten and cruel in private
18:20I smiled
18:21I picked up the carving blade
18:23A single word into the center of the man's forehead
18:26Beast
18:30I don't find you frightening, Your Highness
18:32A wolf who uses his brute strength against she-wolves
18:35Deserves every cut he receives
18:38In my eyes, Your Highness still shines like the full moon
18:41Don't let creatures like this taint you
18:44Is that so?
18:46Yes
18:48Allara, I feel like you're flattering me
18:52You are my prince and I am your servant
18:55Keeping my prince in good spirits
18:57Isn't that simply my duty?
18:59And besides, I have plans that require you
19:03Honest enough, I suppose
19:06After that night, the prince stopped hiding himself from me
19:09He let me move freely in and out of his private quarters
19:12He began sharing things with me
19:14New methods he was testing
19:16Rare instruments of his dark craft
19:18It wasn't long before a rumor swept through the palace
19:22Beta Silas had spotted a servant girl in the washing dens
19:25And intended to take her as his mistress
19:28But sure enough, even from the dens
19:31She had found her way back to Silas
19:33Word was that Silas had passed by the washing dens
19:36When my sister was there alone
19:38And she is the mother's father
19:38And I was so proud of myself
19:38As you said, I'm Tim
19:38I can imagine you're a little bit
19:38Not actually, I'd be doing a little bit
19:38But also, I'll be doing a little bit
