Transcript
00:02i died on an unbearably cold winter night there was no moonlight just a suffocating cave
00:09i thought i could hold on till dawn till they came for me but ryan had other plans without ceremony
00:16he drove a silver blade straight into my chest and blood poured out relentlessly even that wasn't
00:22enough for him he raised his arm and plunged the icy blade into my heart the searing pain shattered
00:28my consciousness why why ryan i was dying but i forced myself to ask him a question i clung
00:36tightly to his collar refusing to let go ryan stared into my eyes with hatred as if i had
00:42betrayed him even though it was his blade that was ending my life this is for what all of you
00:47owe
00:48sire sire that mute girl the name felt distant buried in memories so old i had to dig deep to
00:53recall it and then from the depths of my mind i saw her timid frightened eyes
00:58bad man before i could finish he viciously drove the silver blade deeper ripping my heart out
01:05blood poured out from my wound and my vision blurred the pain was unbearable when i opened my eyes again
01:13the first thing i saw was a full moon hanging in the sky its silvery light blanketing the earth a
01:19familiar voice echoed in my ears and i shot upright my eyes snapping open there was no freezing cave or
01:26biting winds instead i was greeted by the dazzling glow of a crystal chandelier so brilliant it made my
01:33head spin the room was warm and filled with the hum of celebration the clinking of glasses and lively
01:39chatter outside the window neon lights flickered the city bustled with life and endless streams of cars
01:46moved through the night i stood on a hotel balcony gazing down at the city that never slept your highness
01:52are you having one of your headaches again i looked down at my hand slender unscathed and faintly
01:58scented with an expensive perfume this was my 18th birthday party my coming of age ceremony i had been
02:06reborn when i turned 18 i had not yet officially become ryan's mate nor had we held the moonlit ceremony
02:13that symbolized an eternal bond that year i had not yet officially become ryan's mate nor had we held
02:19the moonlit ceremony that symbolized an eternal bond
02:25prince ryan has been making public statements on all the major networks for three days now
02:29announcing he's breaking off the engagement with the snow foam pack
02:33the situation was far more complicated than just a broken engagement a few days ago ryan was ambushed by
02:40arrival packs while inspecting the newly annexed borderlands gravely injured he fell off a cliff
02:46and was rescued by a young she-wolf living in seclusion deep in the forest she was delicate
02:51and beautiful in a desperate attempt to save him she used a forbidden herb to heal his wounds
02:56which ultimately cost her the ability to speak
03:06ryan was deeply moved by her sacrifice and brought her back to the main castle of the alpha king's
03:11territory from that day forward he declared to the entire pack that she was the only one he would
03:17marry he even went as far as to vow that this nameless mute she-wolf would one day become alpha
03:24queen
03:24the queen of all wolves three days ago i woke up in the snow fang packs palace three days was
03:30all it
03:30took for me to untangle the truth of both my past and present lives
03:34your highness prince ryan is here i turned around and saw ryan striding into the banquet hall
03:41the murmurs around the room instantly fell silent he wore a black battle robe his shoulders draped in
03:47the silver embroidered cloak symbolizing the wolf kingdom's honor i know this scenario all too well
03:53my first encounter with ryan and saya this time ryan and i had grown up together and our bond had
04:00been forged from the time we were children our engagement had been arranged early on by the
04:05elders of our two packs a pact meant to solidify the alliance between them but on my coming of age
04:10ceremony today he brought another woman sire the young she-wolf who had saved his life was dressed
04:18in an expensive gown despite her elegant attire and carefully styled appearance she looked like a
04:25small spittish animal that had wandered into a palace of predators she clung tightly to ryan's arm
04:31seemingly unable to stand without his support ryan leaned down whispering something in her ear his
04:37eyes filled with tenderness saya's gaze shifted to me and panic flashed across her face then she stepped
04:46forward thunk suddenly she dropped to her knees in front of me what a familiar scene even the tear
04:54hanging precariously at the corner of her eye was exactly the same as in my past life back then i
05:01had
05:01been utterly deceived by this fragile helpless act of hers when she knelt before me i actually felt pity
05:09i found myself helping her and ryan doing everything i could to help them achieve their true love as the
05:16snow thing packs princess i was destined to shoulder the responsibilities of my people my future didn't
05:22have to revolve around ryan even though saya's arrival left a bad taste in my mouth it wasn't enough to
05:27shake
05:28my dignity i earnestly offered him advice out of the respect and history we shared saya comes from a
05:34lower ranked wolf pack and is mute while she saved your life the elders or the clans may never accept
05:40her as alpha queen no matter how hard you try to convince them it'll only bring her trouble why not
05:46take a step back settle her in my territory as a servant for now slap slap slap the crisp sound
05:53of slaps
05:53echoed in the banquet hall in my past life i rushed forward to help saya up the moment she knelt
06:00this time i nearly watched coldly as she slapped herself hard and without hesitation the banquet hall
06:07was packed with guests today many of whom were already reaching for their phones eager to capture
06:13the drama your heistness today is your coming of age ceremony if she continues like this it will be to
06:18your disadvantage what's the rush i took a slow sip of my wine completely at ease selena his voice was
06:24low and dangerous now his expression darkening saya's cheeks were red and swollen tears pooled in her
06:33eyes making her look pitifully fragile i lowered my head and quietly watched her perform yes asyle was
06:42acting her mutinous was an act her delicate innocent facade was an act even her dramatic poison suicide in
06:50my past life that was also an act i had seen her true colors with my own eyes it happened
06:58at a secret
06:59gathering where i accidentally stumbled upon her talking to a werewolf alchemist sir i'm just an exiled lowly
07:08she-wolf how could i survive without using some desperate plays to get into prince ryan's good
07:13greases please i'm begging you give me a potion that can make me appear dead for a short time enough
07:22the room fell silent saya flinched her body trembling as she slowly lifted her days her eyes were wide and
07:31filled with helpless innocence as she looked at me her intentions couldn't have been clearer
07:36i arched a brow and leisurely sipped my wine saya noticed my cold reaction she gritted her teeth and
07:44leaned forward ready to slap herself again but before she could ryan strode forward and knocked the glass
07:51out of my hand selena don't push it he growled he turned and helped saya to her feet he carefully
07:59touched her swollen cheek his expression filled with pain and concern selena apologize bow your head admit
08:09your mistake to her in front of everyone here and i won't pursue it any further i lifted my chin
08:16slightly
08:16meeting his gaze with a calm mocking smile
08:27how foolish i was in my previous life the moment i discovered saya's schemes i wrote a secret letter
08:32to ryan in painstaking detail i explained how she had been manipulating him using her feigned fragility
08:39to win over the sympathy of the wolf pack elders i warned him saya isn't as simple as she seems
08:45every
08:45step she's taken towards you has been calculated the very next day and news broke that saya had
08:50poisoned herself to death lion sent me only a single voice message thank you for your reminder selena
08:56those who betrayed the alpha king will always face the consequences for years i believe he had
09:01confronted saya forcing her hand until she consumed the poison for real it wasn't until the moment of my
09:07death that i finally understood the truth when he mentioned bows who betrayed the alpha king he wasn't
09:12talking about saya he was talking about me saya did nothing wrong i'm the one who chose to marry i'm
09:17the one ending this engagement with i didn't answer right away i adjusted my gown and began walking
09:21toward the elevator ryan's footsteps echoed as he quickly followed me what are you planning he demanded
09:28as the elevator doors slid open lion was still on my heels selena don't you dare run to the elders
09:34to
09:34beg for their help just because it's your birthday i've already promised saya that i'll marry her
09:38if you voluntarily give up the engagement i'll ensure the snow flame pack is compensated generously
09:42the banquet hall doors opened and leopold greeted me warmly from his seat at the head of the room
09:48my little princess what brings you here in such a rush the leaders of the four great packs sat in
09:55their places of honor and the room was filled with werewolf nobles with a graceful bow i addressed them
10:01esteemed elders i'm sure you've all heard by now ryan and miss saya savior and hero love at first
10:08site so i ask all of you here to bear witness i selena princess of the snowflang pack formally
10:14request to dissolve my engagement with ryan ridiculous now in the quiet of my father's study
10:22his expression mirrored the alfi king's earlier fury however i remained unmoved his voice shook with anger
10:31do you have any idea what this means this alliance has been years in the making built on the hard
10:35work of
10:36both packs and you think you can just throw it all away you'll march right back and apologize tell them
10:40it was a rash decision made in the heat of the moment no what did you just say i said
10:44no my decision
10:46stands he drool in a deep breath his voice dropping dangerously low have you thought about the
10:50consequences do you think anyone else would dare to marry you after this i pursed my lips that's not
10:56necessarily true he jabbed a finger at me his face contorted with rage what you're out of your mind with
11:01that he stormed out slamming the door behind him maybe i was without the memories of my previous
11:07life i never would have made the decisions i did today since i was a child i have been raised
11:12to
11:12follow the rules not only would i never have dared to publicly sever ties with ryan but i wouldn't even
11:17have appeared in front of the many elders in the banquet hall in the past however being obedient and
11:22following the rules didn't always lead to good outcomes in the past ryan often sent me voice
11:28messages filled with sweet words this time all he sent was a short message know when to stop i let
11:33out a cold laugh and threw my phone aside annie did you receive the gift from prince ryan yes there
11:39was
11:40she handed me a velvet box containing a ruby studded bracelet i lit up and slipped the bracelet on then
11:46i
11:46stood up and changed into a low-cut evening dress the kind that accentuated my chest i closed the door
11:53turned and walked away a man stood in the hall he turned in his deep blue eyes hypnotic unwavering
12:00met mine princess selena it's an honor to finally meet you he was ryan's older brother
12:05the man was tall and muscular with a posture that commanded attention he looked nothing like the man
12:12i remembered i studied him and he would turn the gaze his eyes appraising me just as much
12:18you're truly as stunning as they say i smiled slightly the eldest son of the alpha king the
12:24rumors didn't do you justice you're as strong and handsome as they say he chuckled softly and a
12:32spark of unspoken understanding passed between us as our eyes met
12:39the black rose that you had delivered the other day has already bloomed i raised my wrist deliberately
12:46leaning my body closer to him i've received the bracelet you sent your highness
12:54he took my wrist in his hand inspecting the bracelet for a moment before leaning down his warm rips pressed
13:01against the inner side of my wrist leaving behind a scorching kiss alaric was the eldest son of the alpha
13:08king and was also ryan's older brother among the wolf packs he was known for his calm and wisdom
13:16my father had been right my marriage to ryan involved the interests of both families and
13:21it wasn't something that could be easily cancelled but i knew very well that this engagement had to be
13:27called off
13:33his bloodline was powerful his status noble
13:45and most importantly he died too young but a lark's mother passed away early in my past life a lark
13:52barely
13:53lived to 30.
13:57strictly speaking aleric was the lightful first heir to the wolf kingdom and everything that belonged to
14:04lion should have been his
14:06my engagement should have been with him too princess selena it seems like you have some plans
14:13his gaze was deep and penetrating
14:17i raised an eyebrow and met his eyes
14:21prince aleric i only want to work with someone smart how about you show me your capabilities first
14:27i need an ally a powerful ally
14:35my phone was flooding with trending alerts but i set it aside and looked out the window
14:40does a lowborn wolf girl deserve the wolf air where is the conscience of the wolf air
14:45should raya marry seya gratitude is the foundation of the wolf kingdom if one can't even do that
14:51how can they lead the pack almost immediately another shocking headline surged onto the hot search
14:58a purple aurora tore across the night sky its brilliant light aimed directly at the spot where
15:04seya stood several tourists who witnessed the spectacle quickly captured it on their phones and uploaded the
15:11footage to online forums it's the moon goddess's revelation she's the destined one the union between
15:17the alpha king's pack the blood vile pack and the snowfang pack was dead for good selena would be made
15:24a mockery of their family these phrases flooded the trending topics when lion returned home fans and
15:30media rushed to meet him he beamed with pride his arm around seya i put down my phone and looked
15:36out
15:36the window using the power of public opinion we forced leopold into making a concession it was a
15:42strategy that killed three birds with one stone it shattered my father's emotions cut off ryan's rise to
15:49power and created a rift between lion and leopold the so-called destined woman was nothing more than a
15:57carefully orchestrated online marketing scheme how was it he seemed a bit dissatisfied with my response
16:05i added aleric why not strike while the iron's hot and take it a step further
16:16have you thought this through of course every move i made in this wee birth had to be decisive and
16:24precise annie showed no mercy in mocking lion over his public display of affection with sire tearing him
16:31apart without hesitation the irony this time there weren't even any rumors within the pack everyone
16:39believed that the union between the alpha king's pack the blood veil pack and the snowfang pack was
16:45dead for good they were all waiting to see me fail the marriage contract between ryan and me was indeed
16:51broken but my failure they would never get to see it that day the palace of the alpha king was
16:58unusually busy
17:01ryan brought with him the nobles who supported the destined woman and several elders from smaller
17:07packs a large group marched into leopold's palace to apply pressure my father received the news
17:13immediately and rushed over with my brothers and the elders of the snowfang pack
17:18in all of snowfang packs history there had never been such a humiliation
17:26now that their betrothal was ruined who in their right mind would take selena as their wife all
17:32because of a low-born bloodline that could hardly even be spoken of who can save the blood veil pack
17:37now leopold was seething with rage but he was powerless to stop it at this point even if he disagreed
17:44there was nothing he could do how could both families move forward with my reputation in tatters
17:51just as things were at a standstill an unexpected figure appeared aleric walked in wearing a wolf fur cloak
18:03me
18:06elders
18:07i am willing to marry princess selena
18:10wasn't he the alpha king's eldest son the one who had always kept to himself and was predicted to die
18:16young
18:17at that moment leopold recalled his long ignored eldest son
18:22my father also suddenly realized that after years of absence this prince had grown even more composed
18:28and robust compared to the love struck ryan aleric was undoubtedly the stronger of the two
18:34the two elderly men exchanged glances an unspoken understanding passing between them
18:40on the other hand ryan's expression was an amusing sight his face turned a shade of pale that nearly had
18:46him stumbling before he could say anything leopold had already made up his mind the engagement between
18:53ryan and me it would now be with aleric and in a surprising twist leopold agreed that ryan and saya
19:00could go ahead with their engagement ceremony at last things were starting to take shape i couldn't
19:06help but feel a flicker of satisfaction the first move had gone more smoothly than i expected
19:12it was a reminder of how crucial it was to choose the right ally just as the dust settled ryan
19:19stormed
19:20into my house outside ryan was howling
19:28selena have you lost your mind i'm being kind and reminding you now aleric is nothing but a fool
19:34if you have any sense break off the engagement now if you don't you'll regret it in the future
19:42you'll regret it in the future
19:45finally he had gotten the woman he desired after all his efforts
19:49yet instead of savoring his success he came straight to me to stir up trouble
19:54i couldn't be bothered to even look at him my mood was too good for that instead i calmly unlocked
20:01my
20:01phone to see a message waiting for me if it weren't for you and your pack sire and i could
20:06have lived
20:06happily have ever after basking in the admiration of the entire wolf clan i scoffed i would love to
20:13see how he and sire planned on spending their lives in bliss and receive such admiration inside an
20:19exclusive private club wine flowed freely inside an exclusive private club wine flowed freely the
20:26wolf kingdom territory on the southeastern frontier does indeed have endless potential prince ryan bringing
20:29along that low bland mute girl that doesn't seem appropriate what's wrong with that prince ryan wants to
20:33break tradition and bring his new fiancee into the inner workings of the wolf it's hardly just that
20:40you're truly beautiful selena some people must be blind not to see it
20:44his voice was low with a playful edge to it i raised an eyebrow and took a sip of my
20:51red wine
20:51he suddenly said with a grin i looked up at him
20:58alaric was indeed handsome especially when he smiled for the past few months we had shared drinks
21:04and conversations and the time spent together had been more comfortable than i had expected
21:10i gazed at him and alaric glanced at my glass before leaning in to refill it
21:15the wolf kingdom's eldest prince strong handsome intelligent kind how could he have died so young
21:21not talking much today he asked glancing at me as he poured the wine it wasn't that i was silent
21:30i was thinking about ryan's words about how he said alaric was nothing but a fool
21:37hey can you even get it up
21:48alaric set the wine bottle down then grabbed my chin gently want to give it a try
21:54i maintained my dignity as a princess of course but if alaric couldn't handle something as basic
22:00as securing an heir wouldn't all my careful planning be for nothing i leaned in and kissed him
22:07a month later the good show i promised alaric finally unfolded ryan was in the midst of crucial
22:15territorial negotiations he flew out to the silver moon region personally to negotiate with the wolf
22:20pack elders from the frontier of course saya went along with him under the guise of broadening her
22:26horizons in silver moon an unexpected incident led to a heated argument between ryan and saya furious
22:35saya stormed off returning to the wolf kingdom alone and leaving ryan behind ryan planned to wrap up
22:42negotiations quickly and follow her but saya wasted no time stirring up trouble back home
22:49she spread dramatic claims about his wandering heart and abuse of power throughout the wolf kingdom
22:54like a blizzard the rumors swept across the packs igniting a storm of outrage reports accusations and
23:02criticism flooded in overwhelming ryan negotiations dragged on as ryan struggled to control the fallout
23:10until he was forced to suspend the alliance talks entirely but when he finally returned to the alpha
23:16king's territory he realized saya wasn't heartbroken at all instead she was basking in media attention
23:23publishing exclusive articles where she painted him as heartless and ruthless
23:27in no time ryan's allies began to distance themselves from him things got worse
23:35in an attempt to win saya's favor ryan had made a bet with the frontier werewolves losing the territory
23:42he controlled he realized he had been played by a small wolf pack from the frontier and the mastermind behind
23:49it all was none other than saya
23:57saya was steadily expanding her influence while leopold held immense power ryan's pride was too great for
24:04him to seek help again it's time to start our second move expose saya's lies ryan had always believed
24:13that saya's love for him was pure and untainted even when she cried out that he had abandoned the weak
24:20he would only sigh faintly saya just cares too much about me i laughed if only he knew that saya's
24:30disability
24:30was nothing but a lie what would he think then an amused glint flashed across alaric's eyes he had already
24:39placed his spies close to ryan getting a person who could originally speak to say something wasn't
24:44difficult one day saya was at the market handing out the spices she had made her delicate features
24:50and graceful movements caught the attention of countless noble women from the wolf kingdom
24:56they thought that owning saya's spices would make them as desirable as she was
25:01that they too could marry a wolf packs prince suddenly a cup of hot coffee splashed over her head
25:08the coffee dripped down saya's delicate cheek she let out a sharp scream and instinctively cursed
25:14do your paws belong to wolves or dogs you can't even serve coffee properly the air went dead silent the
25:22entire market was eerily still saya stop pretending you're not mute at all saya's expression shifted from
25:31fury to panic and then to sheer dread she instinctively opened her mouth to explain
25:37but it was too late the video of her cursing like a sailor had already gone
25:42viral across the wolf packs saya's faking being muted what a conniving liar pretending to be helpless
25:50the outrage spread like wildfire saya's carefully crafted images the poor voiceless victim crumbled in an
25:58instant the sympathizers who once rallied around her turned into critics condemning her deception
26:06and ryan's reaction i would bet it was even more priceless than saya's meltdown at that moment
26:12it was too bad i didn't get to see his face when he learned about this what a shame what
26:20followed was chaos in ryan's villar screaming matches bitter accusations and endless sobbing echoed through the halls
26:29the uproar didn't stay contained for long it soon reached the alpha king himself ryan fell to
26:37his knees in the grand hall his voice shaking with rage
26:42i want this engagement annul and i won't marry that woman
26:48drawing up as the princess of the snowfang pack and the future queen of the wolf kingdom
26:53i was taught one unshakable truth emotions were a liability even with trust it was wise to leave room
27:01for doubt wasn't ryan tapas as well being the heir to the alpha king or maybe he had been too
27:08spoiled to
27:09learn it his mother had clawed her way to the top as the alpha king's mistress stern wife basking in
27:15the favor that came with it from the moment ryan was born he believed it was his right to have
27:21the
27:21family's full resources at his disposal he carried that same sense of entitlement into every aspect
27:27of his life convinced the world and everyone in it should revolve around him if he wanted to marry
27:34he worried if he didn't he wouldn't what he decided was unquestionable leopold was so enraged by him that
27:42he nearly passed out he slammed his fist on the table in fury there was a storm raging in the
27:49city
27:49and now with the wedding gate fast approaching ryan wanted to call it off just like that what would
27:56the outside world think of the alpha king's family leah stood right for dough get lost leopold told ryan
28:07flat out to get lost there was no room for discussion about canceling the engagements and with that ryan
28:15stormed off heading straight for my villa at that moment i had just finished testing out aleric's
28:22capabilities in bed we were tangled in a sea of flowers on the bed sharing our passion the doorbell
28:29rang loud and insistent shattering the moment when ryan opened the door he was in complete shock
28:39aleric ever possessive in his quiet way wasn't about to let me go so easily just as i tried to
28:46stand he pulled me back down pinning me beneath him the force of his movement sent waves of pleasure
28:51coursing through me leaving me breathless and undone ryan's eyes were filled with both shock and
28:56disbelief it took him a long moment to regain his voice i adjusted the neckline of my robe with
29:01deliberate composure tilting my head to look at him was there a problem with wanting to be a little
29:06reckless for once after living such a structured life ryan suddenly exploded in anger you're not
29:12even married yet do you have no shame not exactly the most appropriate thing for you to say little
29:18before i could respond a lazy voice responded everyone knows about your late night rendezvous
29:27with sire in the palace so what's wrong with what we're doing ryan hadn't expected aleric to speak like
29:33that and his face shifted from shock to white hot fury i'm not like some people getting engaged to
29:42one person today then tangled up with someone else tomorrow when i commit i commit for life ryan's face
29:50turned to sean
30:05also you shouldn't be addressing selena in such an intimate manner
30:11lion's lips trembled and for a moment he couldn't find any words to say how boring i turned and moved
30:17to close the door selena ryan shut against the door selena sire lied to me she's the one who's been
30:25meddling and that's why things are like this now listen to me selena i had a dream a few days
30:31ago
30:33in the dream i was the one marrying you my darling fiancee i have an important meeting
30:38to repair for could you accompany me then he added mockingly ryan why don't you come in and discuss
30:44things with your big brother ryan went silent i closed the door ryan must have been hit harder than i
30:55thought he fell ill after returning home and there was no more drama to watch but for alaric and me
31:05wedding preparations kept us both incredibly busy one day while i was reviewing the wedding plans
31:11there was a knock on the door
31:19sire immediately fell to her knees when she saw me her face streaked with tears
31:30princess lena please go see ryan she pleaded sobbing i stepped aside nearly tripping over
31:36her in the process princess selena ryan is very sick he can't wake up and he keeps calling your
31:41name in his sleep please go and see him maybe he'll wake up if you do it was rare to
31:46hear saya's voice
31:47i looked down at her from my position but didn't feel like responding princess selena you and ryan
31:52have known each other since childhood please just visit him i was too proud for my own good if you
31:57agree i'll step aside princess selena i'm begging you as soon as i frowned a sharp voice rang out the
32:03sign me who let you in do you think any werewolf of any bloodline can join this place ever since
32:08i'd
32:09scolded ryan annie had become more and more blunt goreways escort the guest out saya was swiftly removed
32:16from the villa and she was barred from entering again it seemed like a trivial matter but the
32:22more i thought about what she'd said the more something felt off ryan was sick and calling my name
32:28he wasn't exactly the type to be so sentimental over me and the last time he mentioned something
32:34about dreaming that we were getting married could it be that he had also been reborn but then again
32:41nothing is impossible it was strange enough that i got a second chance at life but if you
32:46really remembered his past life where would my third move leave me i promised alaric that if we
32:50worked together we would be able to take control of the blood veil pack with three well-placed moves
32:56the painful lesson from my past life had taught me one crucial thing i must never allow ryan to
33:01stabilize his position as heir to the alpha king i arranged for people to keep a close watch on ryan's
33:07every move he was slowly recovering and on the surface everything seemed normal ryan no longer came
33:14looking for me but he had delayed his engagement ceremony with saya this unusual calm made me uneasy ryan's
33:22personality had always been decisive and efficient for him to delay his engagement could it mean there
33:28was more to it my third move was sick to begin on a particular night one month later it was
33:34a night
33:34the blood veil pack would face an unexpected life-altering change in the wolf kingdom the ceremony to replace
33:41the alpha king was never a peaceful transition of power it was always a storm that swept through
33:47all the packs no one would willingly relinquish supreme power and those coveting the throne would
33:54never miss an opportunity but lion should have been the exception there was alaric there was me
34:02as long as my third move was precise and ruthless enough kicking lion out of the game would be
34:07no trouble i followed the plan meticulously preparing each step with care i worked with
34:12my father to refine our strategy for collaborating with the blood veil pack at the same time alaric and
34:18i quietly coordinated the placement of key leaders within their ranks meanwhile ryan's side remained
34:24eerily calm he still spent his days drinking heavily in the palace indulging in endless revelry saya
34:30continued to cry and seek sympathy from everyone before i knew it a monk had passed ryan and i did
34:38have
34:38some good memories together before sawa came into the picture every year on blood moon night he would
34:44accompany me to the sacred spring to make wishes when i was younger i was innocent and unguarded and i
34:50would shout my wishes out loud i want the sharpest silver blade in the hunting ground
34:59i want a pure white wolf pup within days those things would mysteriously appear in my room but as
35:07i grew older i learned to keep my thoughts hidden yet ryan always seemed to know what i like he
35:12would
35:12find a way to surprise me with the perfect gift one that showed he understood me better than anyone else
35:19tonight the silver moon hung high in the sky and the sacred spring was eerily quiet i walked closer
35:26and from a distance i saw him he had arrived before me ryan stood by the spring solleys back to
35:32me
35:32but his figure bore an undeniable weariness that couldn't be hidden selena it's been years since we've
35:40been here do you remember that year you slipped on the rocks and fell hard you were crying so much
35:46he
35:46paused seemingly lost in the memory i was the one who pulled you up you really have a good memory
35:52but
35:53i don't remember that from the very beginning when you were reborn you intended to stay away from me
36:01didn't you he asked quietly what else was i supposed to wait around for you to ruin me again his
36:07voice drop
36:07even lower selena i misunderstood you saya conspired with the wolves from the frontier
36:14i only realized it when i was dealing with them the maid by saya's side she was from the frontier
36:19after she learned about saya's plan to fake her death she swapped out the medicine and flamed the
36:22snowfang pack i trusted you so i didn't save say in time but she really ended up dying for real
36:26i didn't want to hear any of this the strange events from my previous life didn't need much thought
36:31to figure out but so what if i knew the truth he had already done the things that he shouldn't
36:36have
36:36done so what if she killed herself out of shame because i advised you to think things through ryan
36:40the decision to marry her was in your hands you saw how the alpha king firmly disagreed and you wavered
36:45didn't you but you destroyed everything i had because of my kind advice i thought i don't want to hear
36:51it the autumn wind howled sending a chill through the air lion stared at me then suddenly smiled
36:58i know how to solve our problems now he grabbed my hand and led me forward ahead i saw saya
37:05held by
37:06two wolf kingdom guards her neck was bound by chains and a silver fang dagger had already left a thin
37:12trail of blood across her forehead ryan i'm sorry i truly regret my actions you you know i never wanted
37:19to train you say's eyes were wild with confusion and despair and her face streaked with tears
37:28you need to atone now ryan's voice was devoid of emotion he raised the silver fang dagger and drove
37:35it into saya's chest just as he had done to me in the past so this was the true love
37:39ryan had always
37:40swung by back then his face had at least gone pale when he killed me today he held the silver
37:46fang dagger
37:47steady his expression cold and unflinching i clenched my fists are you satisfied now i turned my gaze away
37:56selena i know i was wrong all these years i've regretted it every day i did it all for you
38:03shut up
38:06i didn't want to hear another word from him lion's eyes darkened then a smile suddenly crept across
38:13his face it's three in the morning now this was the moment you were waiting for right three in the
38:19morning in my previous life that was the exact time the alpha king had taken his last breath
38:26selena do you really think that just the snow fang part and that useless alaric will be enough to defeat
38:31me i'll show you how i take the throne of the alpha king ryan dragged me into the car and
38:37headed straight
38:38for the palace as soon as we entered the main hall ryan's trusted aid informed him that leopold had
38:44passed your majesty leopold has passed away the entire palace was now under ryan's control at this
38:52hour the front of the palace was filled with elders from various noble wolf packs when ryan pushed open
38:58the door everyone shouted in unison your majesty it was clear who the winner was alaric was tied to
39:06the table and held captive two guards grabbed me meanwhile ryan sat down on the couch extending his
39:13hand toward me come to me my queen
39:21i simply stared at him in silence ryan reached out further his smile oozing confidence selena from
39:30now on i want you to be the alpha queen the queen to all the werewolves in the kingdom i
39:36scanned the
39:36surroundings and observed the elders from the noble packs the timing couldn't have been better i looked
39:42at ryan and tilted my head slightly had he really won ryan frowned and glanced around afflicting
39:48a liquor of confusion in his eyes you unworthy son you're being far too hasty a voice thundered from
39:56outside the door ryan looked up in disbelief leopold stood in the doorway dressed in a night robe and
40:01flanked by his guards my third move hadn't been disrupted by ryan's rebirth at all people often
40:07projected their own experiences onto others especially someone like ryan who had grown cold and heartless
40:14in his mind he was sure i would use the snow fang packs resources to stone the palace and install
40:21alaric in power tonight lion would never have considered the possibility of a second outcome
40:27that was because he had also been eagerly awaiting this night waiting for his moment to seize the throne
40:33but why should i let him do as he pleased because only if leopold is still alive and passes the
40:39throne to
40:40alaric can he be completely crushed and never rise again from the start my third move was never about
40:48seizing power for myself what i want to do is plant a seed of doubt about ryan in leopold's heart
40:55so
40:55leopold went along with my fodder's plan and followed his lead i didn't see ryan again until three months
41:01later in the dark moonless dungeon the cold winter night wrapped the dungeon in pitch blackness the chill
41:09cutting through to the bone it felt eerily similar to the day i had died ryan huddled in the corner
41:15dressed in prison garb his eyes hollow and weary the commanding presence of the former alpha king's
41:21heir was gone replaced by a broken shell of the man he once was when he heard footsteps ryan looked
41:28up
41:28a glimmer of long lost hope flickering in his eyes selena you finally come to see me
41:36have you forgiven me yet i stepped into the visitation room and he immediately stood reaching
41:42out as if to take my hand and stepped back and his hand hung awkwardly in the air selena you
41:49still
41:50won't forgive me i laughed coldly in response selena we can start over this is a chance the moon
41:59goddess has given us to begin again
42:06i don't think so maybe the reason we got a second life is because some people suffered unjustly ryan's
42:13gaze darkens ryan do you know why we never had children even after all those years of marriage ryan's
42:20eyes dropped to my stomach because from the day we married i've been taking birth control i could
42:29feel the faint hostility in his gaze and i didn't want a child to be born in this kind of
42:34environment but
42:36the truth is we did have a child once ryan's eyes widened when you killed me i was already three
42:44months
42:45pregnant why why didn't i tell you why would i bring a child into this life with someone like you
42:52ryan's face went ashen a rare expression of pain crossing his features ryan stared at me shock and
43:00agony spreading through his eyes i looked at him calmly
43:08all of this it's what you owe me the snow fell heavily this year mark was waiting for me
43:20he had recently undergone a major surgery due to a sudden illness and his body was still a little
43:27weak now he took my hand and led me across the vast endless snowfield urging me to run wild alongside
43:34him his lips brushed my cheek and we embraced in the freezing cold we kissed desperately completely
43:41lost in the moment as our bodies intertwined six months later i found out i was pregnant alaric's
43:48health improved with each passing day and i could feel his strength returning when i was eight months
43:54pregnant alaric brought me to the icy wasteland we had reclaimed selena this land will be yours to rule
44:01you will be that queen together they called out all hail queen selena their voices reverberated through
44:08the entire snowfield at that very moment the sky above us parted and the pink awara danced through
44:15the clouds i took the scepter from alaric and declared from today on i will lead all of you
44:32so
44:36you
44:36you
44:36you
44:36you
44:36you
