00:07The End
00:07Choose one of my sons as your mate.
00:10On my 18th birthday, Alpha called me up in front of the whole pack
00:13and told me to choose one of his sons as my mate.
00:17Whichever I chose, he'd be the next Alpha.
00:20I didn't flinch.
00:22I picked Casey.
00:24Everyone knew I used to be stupidly in love with Cain.
00:27I'd confessed at every pack dance.
00:30Casey? Coldest, meanest wolf we had. Total menace. No one got close. But they didn't
00:36know the truth. In my last life, I was bonded to Cain. On the day of our bonding ceremony,
00:42he slept with Lena, my cousin. My mum lost it. Ship Lena off to Dusk Wolf Pack to get
00:50bonded to their beta. Cain? He blamed me. When he found out I was carrying his pup, he made
01:03sure I saw him with every one of them. It was torture. When labor hit, he locked me in the
01:12dungeon, locked everyone out. My pup got crushed. I died hating him. Maybe the moon goddess felt
01:25sorry for me. She gave me a second shot. I came back. This time, I let Cain keep Lena. Didn't
01:34think he would ever regret it. I'd barely stepped out of the council hall, crossing the training
01:40grounds when I spotted him. Cain. His curved blade slipped and hit the ground with a sharp
01:51clang, landing three feet from my boots. Pick it up. The wolves frozen, eyes locked on me waiting
02:01for a show. I knew this game. Last life, he treated me like his damn servant. You dropped
02:09it. You picked it up. The training ground went dead quiet. What did you just say?
02:21Damn, Eve. Switching tactics? Weren't you all over him like two days ago? Now you're acting royal?
02:26Girl, you were his simp. Clinging to him all the time. You think your dead daddy's proud of this act?
02:44I told you to rest. Who said you could be out here? Look at Lena. She's hurt and still helps
02:50me. And you? Just standing there like a spoiled brat? No sense of duty. Same old trick.
03:00You just crawled out of my father's office, didn't you? What now? Pulling the pity card again?
03:07Playing up that story about your dad taking a blade for him? Begging to be my mate? You're pathetic,
03:15Eve. Always guilt tripping. Always scheming. You've tried every trick to lock me down.
03:20I clenched my sleeves, voice flat. Didn't say a word. The alpha called me. He's hosting my coming
03:28of age ceremony himself. The alpha's hosting her ceremony? Congrats, man! If the alpha's hosting
03:35her ceremony, he's lining you up to take over! Don't forget us when you're alpha!
03:42Still, let's be clear. If we do end up bonded, stay out of my business with Lena. Know your
03:50place, or I won't be your mate. Unless you want a repeat of last time.
03:59My chest seized. What the hell did that mean? Did he remember too?
04:06I stared after them, then let out a quiet laugh of my own. Perfect. Wasn't planning to bond with you
04:15anyway. On the day of my coming of age ceremony, Cain showed up late. Her lips were swollen and fresh
04:22red marks scratched across his collarbone. Wolves nearby traded smirks. No question what they'd been
04:29doing in the shadows. In my past life, I would have stormed over, ripped off their masks, demanded
04:35why they'd humiliate me at my own ceremony. Now, I glanced once, then looked away like they were
04:42dust on my boots. Cain caught that flicker. His hand shut out, shifting Lena behind him.
04:52When I didn't flinch, he got twitchy. Then laughed, low and mean.
04:58What, Eve? Playing saint now because you're scared I won't be your mate? Don't be dumb. How about this?
05:05After the ceremony, meet me behind the mountain at the hot spring. Don't wear anything. If your
05:09body's worth it, maybe I'll let you in my bed. Cain, how can you say that? Isn't my body better
05:14than hers? Cain grinned, pinching her cheek. Of course you're better. A thousand times. That hot spring?
05:20It's yours.
05:33The sound hit like a switch. My past life slammed back.
05:39He'd done this before. Humiliated me in front of the pack. Treated me like some chew toy I'd shaken
05:46with rage. He'd just laughed. Said my shame turned him on. Someone tried to defend me once. Cain
05:53shut them down. Called me a heat chaser who begged for his scraps. Pathetic.
06:00I turned to walk away, then his hand clamped around my wrist. Still pretending. His grip tightened, bone deep.
06:15A wolf like you can't fake what you are. Watch your mouth. He smirked. Oh? You expect me to
06:26respect you? We're bound to be mates. Do you really still need that? Who said? I'm bonding with you.
06:43Then. Laughter. Loud. Ugly. Everywhere. Cain laughed the hardest. Not bonding with me? Then who?
06:52Everyone knows you'd die for me. What? What? Casey? K.A.'s been rotting in the black forest for years.
07:01Everyone says he's feral. Skinned a grave claw wolf who challenged him and left the carcass hanging.
07:07You planning to bond with him? Trying to get yourself killed early?
07:12What? Nothing to say? Didn't you have all that fire a second ago? Or are you finally scared?
07:21Eve probably remembered the stories about Casey. She gave Cain's sleeve a dainty tug. But her eyes
07:29drilled into me. If she really bonds with him, there might not even be bones left to bury.
07:40A few young wolves scusaled. Right on cues. In my past life, I probably would have lunged
07:46at Lena and yanked her hair out. But this time? Different.
07:55Who I choose isn't your business.
07:59Lena's smile tricked. Then she grabbed her chest and started coughing. Shoulders shaking uncontrollably.
08:11Eve, don't be like that.
08:15I was just worried about you.
08:18You did take a hunter's silver dagger for Cain. Remember?
08:23She leaned hard into me.
08:26Next thing I knew, she stumbled back, like I'd shoved her, and dropped to the floor with
08:32a dramatic thud.
08:37Even if you hate me, you can't push me! My leg, it hurts so bad!
08:44He stepped in front of her like a shield, fury rolling off him.
08:48Really, Eve? That jealous now?
08:57She's your sister!
08:59Lena was just my cousin, but once she moved in, everyone assumed otherwise.
09:08Didn't even touch her.
09:12Still lying?
09:16The whole pack knows you're jealous of Lena.
09:20If you hadn't clung to me back then, I wouldn't have even noticed you.
09:24Cain, don't.
09:27Eve's probably just...
09:29upset.
09:31She always thought you'd pick her.
09:33Soft words, sharper than claws.
09:36Whispers started up.
09:37Same ones from before.
09:39That I was forcing the mate-bond.
09:41Hiding behind my father's name.
09:43That I couldn't handle my own sister.
09:46These rumors stuck like spit from jealous she-wolves.
09:49Filthy and hard to scrub off.
09:53Cain's rage snapped.
09:54He raised his hand and slapped me across the face hard.
09:58You'd better behave.
10:00Touch Lena again, and I'll throw you out of Silvermoon pack myself!
10:04The sting on my cheek spread like fire.
10:07I wanted to hit back.
10:08But out of the corner of my eye, I saw the guests shifting around the venue.
10:12This was my coming-of-age ceremony.
10:15Causing a scene would only drag the Abel name through the dirt.
10:18Lena stayed tucked behind Cain.
10:20She leaned into his chest like she rehearsed it.
10:23That smirk still playing on her lips.
10:30Maybe he realized he'd gone too far.
10:33His throat bobbed, like words were stuck.
10:44Cain, my leg hurt so bad.
10:48What if I never walk again?
10:51Pulling every bit of his attention.
10:53The whispers crashed in like waves.
10:56Their stares hit like poison needles.
10:58No manners.
10:59She'd go after her own sister over a mate?
11:02As if she ever had a shot, Cain would never choose her.
11:05Apologize to Lena!
11:07You think you can cling to our next alpha just cause your dad took a silver arrow for his?
11:14I remembered everything.
11:17Breaking myself for Cain, training like hell just to scare off anyone who dared glanced his way.
11:23Thought being ruthless meant love.
11:28Now it just felt sad.
11:30Cain threw me a disgusted glare.
11:32Why are you still standing there?
11:34If something happens to Lena, you'll regret it.
11:44Father's about to announce our engagement.
11:47Be smart.
11:48Stay in your lane.
11:52Once the bond's sealed, I'll give you the rank you deserve.
11:55Just don't mess with me and Lena.
11:56I stared him down, locked on those eyes.
12:04A horn blasted, long and hollow.
12:09The baiter strode in.
12:14Miss Abel, it's time.
12:16His cloudy eyes landed on my bruised cheek.
12:19Pity flickered.
12:21Behind him, a figure in black hood, low jaw sharp as sin.
12:25A silver edged blade strapped across his back wolf fang.
12:29Pendant, swinging like it had a heartbeat.
12:35Casey Moonfoot, Theron's oldest, just back from the black forest.
12:40Silence hit like a punch.
12:42A few pups up front nearly dropped.
12:45Someone fumbled a wine bowl.
12:47Crash.
12:48Flames hissed as the liquor met fire.
12:51Even the baiter trick.
12:55He just skinned a challenger from Graveclaw pack.
13:00Still reeked of blood.
13:10Casey stopped right in front of me.
13:13What happened to your face?
13:15Voice sharp, cut glass serious.
13:22I met those deep blue eyes and saw it.
13:26The memory.
13:27Him storming the dungeon, blooded and wild.
13:32Holding my dead body like it broke him.
13:38He went rogue for me.
13:42It is nothing.
13:46Cain scoffed, sliding between us.
13:49Eve's my problem.
13:50Don't stress.
13:51He squared up.
13:52She's about to be my mate.
13:54I've got it handled.
13:56The baiter frowned, about to speak.
13:59But Cain shut him down with one look.
14:10Dad sent me.
14:12Said the apple girl ceremony's a pack matter.
14:14Let's move.
14:15I walked past Cain, steps steady.
14:18Cain was practically oozing smug, like he already saw the alpha crest hanging around his neck.
14:24The second the pack filled the great hall, his silver white hair caught the lights.
14:31Dude was ancient, like over a hundred, but still stood like a legend.
14:36He reached for my hand, smiling.
14:40Big day.
14:51Eve's come of age.
14:55And just like I promised her father, she'll choose one of my sons as her mate.
15:02Once she does, that wolf the next alpha.
15:07Gasps rippled through the hall.
15:10All eyes snapped to Cain, some lit with envy.
15:16Yeah, they all remembered how hard I used to fall for him.
15:21Now.
15:23Patting my hand.
15:24Let the chosen step forward.
15:26I'll witness it myself.
15:29Cain shot up Stalia, chin high, already halfway into his victory strut until Theron threw up a hand.
15:38Then Theron turned, gaze softening toward the corner.
15:45Case.
16:00You ready, Eve?
16:05How's it him?
16:06Didn't Eve love Cain so much she nearly died for him?
16:09Why case?
16:10Is this some kind of screw up?
16:18Father, this has to be a mistake!
16:33I might be old, but I'm not losing it.
16:36You think I'd mess up a choice to decide Silvermoon's future?
16:43The Alpha's word is final.
16:45Eve has chosen Case as her mate.
16:48No, that's wrong! Something's off!
16:53Eve, tell them.
16:55You picked me.
16:57Father just, he got it twisted, right?
17:04I chose Case.
17:06He is my mate now.
17:08The only one.
17:18Cain lunged, grabbed my wrist hard enough to bruise.
17:22Liar!
17:23You love me!
17:25Everyone knows you'd have died for me!
17:28How could you pick this savage?
17:31Father forced you, didn't he?
17:33The Beta shoved between us, ripping Cain's hand off.
17:40What are you waiting for? Get him out!
17:42Unless you're begging for a fight too.
17:45They snapped to it, hauling Cain back as he kicked and fought.
17:50He was...
17:52Eve!
17:53Say something!
17:54Tell them it's wrong!
17:56You chose me!
17:58Therion clicked a hand.
18:06The Beta handed me a carved wooden box, etched with the Silvermoon totem.
18:12Miss Abel, a gift from the Alpha.
18:15May your bond strengthen the pack.
18:18I stared down at it, something flickering in my chest.
18:25Inside was the Alpha crest, passed down for generations.
18:33The one Cain spent his whole past life chasing.
18:37At the banquet, torchlight danced along the stone walls.
18:42I scanned the crowd.
18:44No sign of Cain.
18:49I turned Berry Wine in hand and smacked straight into a solid chest.
18:56The sharp scent of pine hit me.
18:59My eyes burned.
19:04Back then, when Cain locked me in that cellar, it was Case, who kicked the door down and carried me
19:12out, barely breathing.
19:20He was wrecked, bleeding everywhere, snarling at the wolves crowding us.
19:26Touch her again and I'll skin you alive, bury you with her.
19:31After I died, he turned that dungeon into a bloodbath.
19:35Dragged every one of Cain's dirty secrets straight to Theron.
19:39I'd already left my body by then.
19:41Just a soul watching him take on the whole pack for me.
19:44That is when it hit me.
19:46This brutal wolf had always put me first.
19:49Since I came back, that voice inside hasn't shut up.
19:53Choosing him is right.
20:03Once the feast kicked off, Theron made his move.
20:07He just pointed, straight to the empty chair on his right.
20:14Every wolf in the froze.
20:16That seat meant one thing.
20:19K was the next alpha.
20:20He took it without blinking.
20:22The whispers exploded instantly.
20:25The lone wolf?
20:26Bonding with me?
20:33Right in the middle of all that buzz, Cain crashed the party.
20:37Stumbling through the crowd, completely wasted, looking absolutely pathetic.
20:42Father, you can't approve their bond.
20:45Get him out of here.
20:47If he can still stand, he can crawl to his quarters.
20:51Don't disgrace us.
20:55Eve and I, we grew up together.
20:59We and the getter, each other.
21:02Eve and I, we...
21:04You can't tear us apart!
21:07Oh?
21:09Poopode sweethearts?
21:11Funny.
21:13I remember it differently.
21:16Eve, care to clear that up?
21:20Alpha, I'm not sure why Cain would say that.
21:24I've always seen him like a brother.
21:26He's the one chasing Lena, not me.
21:33Ever love you?
21:35I always have!
21:38I get it.
21:40You're jealous.
21:41Still pissed I gave the Arctic Foxfur to Lena, huh?
21:45Using Case to get back at me?
21:47You shouldn't say that.
21:49I'm forming a mate-bond with Case.
21:55You're mine!
21:57You can't!
21:58His hand barely moved before Cain's grip snapped right around his arm.
22:05Sweat instantly breaking out on his face.
22:10She's my mate.
22:12You think you can touch her?
22:16With one sharp twist, he slammed him to the floor.
22:20Cain just curled up, groaning.
22:30Know your place.
22:32This is Eve's coming of age.
22:35Don't make me spill blood.
22:39You disgrace.
22:42You're grounded.
22:44Three months.
22:46Stay in your quarters and think.
22:50Eve!
22:52Tell him you love me!
22:53Stay!
22:56I didn't even glance his way.
22:59Just turned to K.A. with a quiet smile.
23:04Our bonding ceremony was locked in for the next full moon.
23:10One morning before that, I found him waiting at the edge of the training grounds.
23:15He didn't say a word.
23:16Just watched.
23:18Everyone out there thinks I'm a monster.
23:21That I've killed too many.
23:28Aren't you scared of me?
23:34Scared of what?
23:44Scared I'll snap one day and hurt you.
23:48Not that it matters.
23:50Even if you were, it's too late.
23:53Whether you regret this or not, I'm not letting go.
23:56You're mine.
24:01Eve, in this life, you're only mine.
24:05Facing down the pack for me in our last life.
24:07My chest tightened.
24:10I've never regretted anything.
24:12And I'm not scared of you.
24:16I dropped the bow and walked to him, taking slow, steady steps.
24:28I've heard what they say.
24:31But I know you're not the monster they make you out to be.
24:34You.
24:36I chose you, Case Moon Faith.
24:39I chose you, Case Moon Faith.
24:44From the start, I never doubted it.
24:47To be honest, you're the only one who's behind you.
24:50I can't.
24:52His throat bobbed.
24:53He reached out, his fingers wrapping around my wrist.
24:56Steady and warm.
24:58Eve.
24:59Don't forget you said today.
25:01His voice dipped, gravel rough.
25:03I won't.
25:11when i got back to the tent lena was at the fire flipping meat
25:20she spun around when she heard me eyes full of poison you really know how to fake it huh
25:27acting like you're all in with case when you're scared out of your mind

35:55door
35:55with a solid thunt what you planning to stand there guarding the door all night after the ceremony
36:00i tapped the spot beside me get over here he didn't say a word just walked over pulled off his
36:08robe and
36:08let it drop his back was all muscle and scars some old some fresh warrior proof then he leaned down
36:14arms braced on either side of me breath hot with cedar lacquer didn't someone just tell me to get in
36:20bed i looked up at that jaw sharp as ever and reached for his ear burning just like i thought
36:25what what i grinned scared he gave a low chuckle then bit the corner of my lip just enough to
36:35sting

37:41he covered me warm solid every kiss was a
37:45claim every touch a promise
37:48you
38:13Hitting deeper, until the world just fell away and stars
38:18exploded.
38:32Afterward his usual sharpness softened into something vulnerable.
38:37He sank his teeth into my neck.
38:39I love you.
38:45Three moons later, I got the news.
38:48By then, Casey was the alpha.
38:51But seeing my belly, he just froze.
38:56His skin burned hot, fingers still shaking.
39:07Eve, we're having a pup.
39:10I just nodded, smiling.
39:13Autumn rains hit hard.
39:15Landslide crushed the forest's edge.
39:19He got pinned under the rubble.
39:23Eve, you came.
39:27Let me end this.
39:29For good.
39:35I knelt beside Cain.
39:38Blood was everywhere.
39:40Thick, metallic.
39:41His dead eyes flickered.
39:44Do you remember, in our last life?
39:48He coughed blood.
39:50Voice torn to shreds.
39:53You bonded to me under the moon goddess statue.
39:58Said it would be forever.
40:01Said you'd plant moon petals in the yard.
40:03His fingers clawed at the mud like he was digging up ghosts.
40:06You had a pup.
40:08She had your eyes.
40:09Chased fireflies in the yard.
40:19Then I laughed cold and sharp.
40:30Keep repeating it.
40:32Maybe one day, you'll believe it.
40:34You.
40:35You.
40:40I remember everything.
40:43You locked me up.
40:44I died.
40:46Me and our partner.
40:47Full of hate.
41:04Let's go.
41:08Rain slammed down, pounding the rubble, washing away the rot of the past.
41:15I leaned into Kayev's chest, letting the sound of his heartbeat ground me.
41:21Let's go.
41:22I was finally free.
41:23I was finally free.
41:24The hag is really angry.
41:26All the time.
41:29I missed it.
41:31I was finally free.
