Short filmTranscript
00:12To be continued
00:30Casey? Coldest, meanest wolf we had. Total menace. No one got close. But they didn't know the truth. In my
00:38last life, I was bonded to Cain. On the day of our bonding ceremony, he slept with Lina, my cousin.
00:45My mum lost it.
00:56Cain? He blamed me. When he found out I was carrying his pup, he made sure I saw him with
01:04every one of them.
01:07It was torture. When labor hit, he locked me in the dungeon, blocked everyone out.
01:15My pup got crushed. I died hating him.
01:24Maybe the moon goddess felt sorry for me. She gave me a second shot. I came back. This time, I
01:32let Cain keep Lina. Didn't think he would ever regret it.
01:36I'd barely stepped out of the council hall, crossing the training grounds, when I spotted him. Cain.
01:48His curved blade slipped and hit the ground with a sharp clang, landing three feet from my boots.
01:55Pick it up.
01:57The wolf's frozen. Eyes locked on me, waiting for a show. I knew this game. Last life, he treated me
02:06like his damn servant.
02:08You dropped it. You pick it up. The training ground went dead quiet.
02:17What 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?
02:47Look at Lina. She's hurt and still helps me. And you? Just standing there like a spoiled brat? No sense
02:54of duty.
02:56Same old trick.
02:59You just crawled out of my father's office, didn't you?
03:04What now? Pulling the pity card again?
03:07Playing up that story about your dad taking a blade for him?
03:11Begging to be my mate?
03:14You're pathetic, Eve. 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.
03:25The Alpha called me. He's hosting my coming-of-age ceremony himself.
03:29The Alpha's hosting her ceremony?
03:33Congrats, man! If the Alpha's hosting her ceremony, he's lining you up to take over!
03:38Don't forget us when you're Alpha!
03:40Yeah!
03:42Still, let's be clear.
03:43If we do end up bonded, stay out of my business with Lina.
03:49Know your place.
03:52Or...
03:53I won't be your mate.
03:55Unless you want a repeat of last time.
03:59My chest seized.
04:01What the hell did that mean?
04:02Did he...
04:03Remember too?
04:06I stared after them, then let out a quiet laugh of my own. Perfect.
04:13Wasn't planning to bond with you anyway.
04:15On the day of my coming-of-age ceremony, Cain showed up late.
04:19Her lips were swollen, and fresh red marks scratched across his collisbone.
04:25Wolves nearby traded smirks.
04:27No question what they'd been doing in the shadows.
04:30In my past life, I would have stormed over, ripped off their masks, demanded why they'd
04:35humiliate me at my own ceremony.
04:38Now, I glanced once, then looked away like they were dust on my boots.
04:43Cain caught that flicker.
04:45His hand shut out, shifting Lina behind him.
04:51When I didn't flinch, he got twitchy.
04:55Then laughed, low and mean.
04:58What, Eve? Playing saint now because you're scared I won't be your mate?
05:01Don't be dumb. How about this?
05:04After the ceremony, meet me behind the mountain at the hot spring.
05:08Don't wear anything.
05:09If your body's worth it, maybe I'll let you in my bed.
05:11Cain, how can you say that? Isn't my body better than hers?
05:14Cain grinned, pinching her cheek.
05:16Of course you're better. A thousand times!
05:19That hot spring? It's yours.
05:33The sound hit like a switch.
05:35My past life slammed back.
05:39He'd done this before.
05:41Humiliated me in front of the pack.
05:44Treated me like some chew toy I'd shaken with rage.
05:48He'd just laughed.
05:49Said my shame turned him on.
05:51Someone tried to defend me once.
05:53Cain shut them down.
05:54Called me a heat chaser who begged for his scraps.
05:58Pathetic.
06:00I turned to walk away.
06:02Then his hand clamped around my wrist.
06:08Still pretending.
06:09His grip tightened, bone deep.
06:15A wolf like you can't fake what you are.
06:18Watch your mouth.
06:22He smirked.
06:24Oh? You expect me to respect you?
06:26We're bound to be mates.
06:27Do you really still need that?
06:29Who said,
06:31I'm bonding with you?
06:34I'm bonding with you.
06:35I'm bonding with you.
06:42Then.
06:43Laughter.
06:44Loud.
06:45Ugly.
06:46Everywhere.
06:47Cain laughed.
06:48The hardest.
06:49Not bonding with me?
06:50Then who?
06:51Everyone knows you'd die for me.
06:54What?
06:55What?
06:57Casey?
06:58K.A.'s been rotting in the Black Forest for years.
07:01Everyone says he's feral.
07:03Skinned a graveclaw wolf who challenged him and left the carcass hanging.
07:07You planning to bond with him?
07:09Trying to get yourself killed early?
07:12What?
07:12Nothing to say?
07:14Didn't you have all that fire a second ago?
07:16Or are you finally scared?
07:21Eve probably remembered the stories about Casey.
07:24She gave Cain's sleeve a dainty tug.
07:28But her eyes drilled into me.
07:30If she really bonds with him,
07:33there might not even be bones left to bury.
07:40A few young wolves scoosled,
07:42right on cues.
07:44In my past life,
07:44I probably would have lunged at Lena
07:46and yanked her hair out.
07:48But this time,
07:51different.
07:55Who I choose
07:56isn't your business.
07:59Lena's smile tricked.
08:01Then she grabbed her chest
08:03and started coughing,
08:04shoulders shaking uncontrollably.
08:10Eve,
08:11don't be like that.
08:15I was just worried about you.
08:18You did take a hunt for silver dagger for Cain.
08:22Remember?
08:23She leaned hard into me.
08:26Next thing I knew,
08:27she stumbled back
08:28like I'd shoved her
08:30and dropped to the floor
08:32with a dramatic thud.
08:36Even if you hate me,
08:39you can't push me.
08:40My leg,
08:41it hurts so bad.
08:44He stepped in front of her
08:46like a shield,
08:47fury rolling off him.
08:49Really, Eve?
08:50That jealous now?
08:57She's your sister!
08:59Hey, Eve.
08:59Lena was just my cousin,
09:01but once she moved in,
09:02everyone assumed otherwise.
09:08Didn't even touch her.
09:12Still lying?
09:16The whole pack knows
09:17you're jealous of Lena.
09:20If you hadn't clung to me back then,
09:22I wouldn't have even noticed you.
09:24Cain, don't.
09:26Eve's probably just...
09:29upset.
09:31She always thought you'd pick her.
09:33Soft words,
09:34sharper 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
09:44my own sister.
09:46These rumours stuck like spit
09:48from jealous she-wolves,
09:49filthy and hard to scrub off.
09:52Cain's rage snapped.
09:54He raised his hand
09:55and slapped me across the face hard.
09:57You'd better behave.
10:00Touch Lena again,
10:01and I'll throw you out
10:02of Silvermoon pack myself.
10:04The sting on my cheek
10:05spread like fire.
10:06I wanted to hit back.
10:08But out of the corner of my eye,
10:10I saw the guests
10:10shifting around the venue.
10:12This was my coming-of-age ceremony.
10:14Causing a scene would only drag
10:16the Abel name through the dirt.
10:18Lena stayed tucked behind Cain.
10:20She leaned into his chest
10:21like she rehearsed it,
10:22that smirk still playing on her lips.
10:30Maybe he realised he'd gone too far.
10:33His throat bobbed,
10:34like 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.
10:55Their stares hit like poison needles.
10:57No manners.
10:59She'd go after her own sister
11:00over a mate?
11:02As if she ever had a shot,
11:04Cain would never choose her.
11:05Apologise to Lena.
11:07You think you can cling
11:08to our next alpha
11:08just because your dad
11:09took a silver arrow for his?
11:14I remembered everything.
11:17Breaking myself for Cain,
11:18training like hell
11:19just to scare off anyone
11:20who dared glanced his way.
11:23Thought being ruthless meant love.
11:27Now it just felt sad.
11:29Cain threw me a disgusted glare.
11:32Why are you still standing there?
11:34If something happens to Lena,
11:36you'll regret it.
11:44Father's about to announce
11:45our engagement.
11:47Be smart.
11:48Stay in your lane.
11:51Once the bond's sealed,
11:53I'll give you the rank you deserve.
11:54Just don't mess with me and Lena.
11:56I stared him down,
11:58locked on those eyes.
12:04A horn blasted,
12:06long and hollow.
12:09The baiter strode in.
12:14Miss Abel, it's time.
12:16His cloudy eyes
12:17landed on my bruised cheek.
12:19Pity flickered.
12:21Behind him,
12:22a figure in black hood,
12:23low jaw sharp as Cain.
12:25A silver-edged blade
12:27strapped across his back wolf fang.
12:29Pendant,
12:30swinging like it had a heartbeat.
12:35Casey Moonfoot,
12:37Theron's oldest,
12:38just back from the black forest.
12:40Silence hit like a punch.
12:42A few pups up front
12:43nearly dropped.
12:44Someone fumbled a wine bowl.
12:47Crash.
12:48Flames hissed
12:49as the liquor met fire.
12:51Even the baiter trick.
12:55He'd just skinned a challenger
12:57from Graveclaw pack.
13:00Still reeked of blood.
13:10Kasey stopped right in front of me.
13:12What happened to your face?
13:15Voice sharp,
13:16cut glass serious.
13:22I met those deep blue eyes
13:24and saw it.
13:25The memory.
13:27Him storming the dungeon,
13:29blooded and wild.
13:32Holding my dead body
13:33like it broke him.
13:38He went rogue for me.
13:42It is nothing.
13:46Cain scoffed,
13:47sliding 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,
13:58about to speak.
13:59But Cain shut him down
14:00with one look.
14:10Dad sent me.
14:12Said the Apple Girl's
14:13ceremony's a pack matter.
14:14Let's move.
14:15I walked past Cain,
14:16steps steady.
14:17Cain was practically oozing smug,
14:19like he already saw
14:20the alpha crest
14:21hanging around his neck.
14:24The second the pack
14:25filled the great hall,
14:26his silver-white hair
14:28caught the lights.
14:30Dude was ancient,
14:32like over a hundred,
14:33but still stood like a legend.
14:35He reached for my hand,
14:37smiling.
14:40Big day.
14:42Big day.
14:50Eve's come of age.
14:54And just like I promised her father,
14:58she'll choose one of my sons
14:59as her mate.
15:01When she does,
15:03that wolf the next alpha.
15:06Gasps rippled through the hall.
15:10All eyes snapped to Cain,
15:12some lit with envy.
15:16Yeah,
15:16they all remembered
15:17how 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 Stelia,
15:31chin high,
15:31already halfway
15:32into his victory strut
15:33until Theron threw up a hand.
15:38Then Theron turned,
15:39gaze softening
15:41toward the corner.
15:45Case.
15:59You ready, Eve?
16:05How's it him?
16:06Didn't Eve love Cain so much
16:07she nearly died for him?
16:09Why case?
16:10Is this some kind of screw-up?
16:17Father,
16:18this has to be a mistake!
16:33I might be old,
16:34but I'm not losing it.
16:36You think I'd mess up a choice
16:37to decide Silvermoon's future?
16:42The Alpha's word is final.
16:45Eve has chosen Case
16:46as her mate.
16:47No, that's wrong!
16:48Something's off!
16:53Eve,
16:54tell them.
16:55You picked me.
16:57Father just,
16:58he got it twisted, right?
17:04I chose Case.
17:06He is my mate now.
17:08The only one.
17:18Cain lunged.
17:19Grabbed my wrist
17:20hard enough to bruise.
17:22Liar!
17:23You love me!
17:24Everyone knows
17:25you'd have died for me!
17:28How could you pick
17:29this savage?
17:31Father forced you,
17:32didn't he?
17:33The baiter
17:34shoved between us,
17:35ripping Cain's hand off.
17:40What are you waiting for?
17:41Get him out!
17:42Unless you're begging
17:44for a fight too.
17:45They snapped to it,
17:46hauling Cain back
17:47as he kicked and fought.
17:49His...
17:51Eve!
17:53Say something!
17:54Tell them it's wrong!
17:56You chose me!
17:58Therion clicked a hand.
18:06The baiter handed me
18:08a carved wooden box,
18:09etched with
18:10the Silvermoon totem.
18:12Miss Abel,
18:13a gift from the Alpha.
18:15May your bond
18:16strengthen the pack.
18:18I stared down at it,
18:20something flickering
18:21in my chest.
18:25Inside was the Alpha Crest,
18:27passed down
18:28for generations.
18:33The one Cain spent
18:34his whole past life chasing.
18:37At the banquet,
18:39torchlight danced
18:40along the stone walls.
18:42I scanned the crowd,
18:44no sign of Cain.
18:49I turned
18:50Berry Wine
18:51in hand
18:51and smacked
18:52straight into
18:52a solid chest.
18:56The sharp scent
18:57of pine
18:57hit me.
18:58My eyes burned.
19:04Back then,
19:05when Cain
19:06locked me
19:06in that cellar,
19:07it was Case
19:09who kicked
19:10the door down
19:11and carried me out,
19:12barely breathing.
19:20He was wrecked,
19:22bleeding everywhere,
19:23snarling at the wolves
19:24crowding us.
19:26Touch her again
19:27and I'll skin you alive,
19:29bury you with her.
19:31After I died,
19:32he turned that dungeon
19:33into a bloodbath,
19:35dragged every one
19:36of Cain's
19:36dirty secrets
19:37straight to Theron.
19:39I'd already left
19:39my body by then,
19:41just a soul
19:42watching him
19:42take on the whole
19:43pack for me.
19:44That is when
19:45it hit me.
19:46This brutal wolf
19:47had always put me first.
19:49Since I came back,
19:51that voice inside
19:52hasn't shut up.
19:53Choosing him
19:54is right.
20:03Once the feast
20:04kicked off,
20:05Theron made his move.
20:07He just pointed
20:08straight to the empty
20:10chair on his right.
20:14Every wolf
20:15in the froze.
20:16That seat
20:17meant one thing.
20:19Kay was the next alpha.
20:20He took it
20:21without blinking.
20:22The whispers
20:23exploded instantly.
20:24The lone wolf
20:25bonding with me.
20:33Right in the middle
20:34of all that buzz,
20:35Cain crashed the party.
20:36Stumbling through the crowd,
20:38completely wasted,
20:39looking absolutely pathetic.
20:42Father,
20:43you can't approve
20:44their bond!
20:45Get him out of here.
20:47If he can still stand,
20:49he can crawl
20:49to his quarters.
20:51Don't disgrace us.
20:55Eve and I,
20:57we grew up together.
20:59We and the get
21:00each other.
21:02Eve and I,
21:04we,
21:04you can't tear us apart!
21:07Oh?
21:09Poop-o'd sweethearts?
21:11Funny.
21:13I remember it
21:14differently.
21:15Eve,
21:16care to clear that up?
21:20Alpha,
21:21I'm not sure
21:21why Cain
21:22would say that.
21:23I've always
21:24seen him like a brother.
21:26He's the one
21:26chasing Lena,
21:27not me.
21:33Ever love you!
21:34I always have!
21:38I get it.
21:40You're jealous.
21:41Still pissed
21:42I gave the Arctic
21:43Foxfur to Lena,
21:44huh?
21:45Using Case
21:46to get back at me?
21:47You shouldn't say that.
21:49I'm forming
21:50a mate bond with Case.
21:55You're mine!
21:56You can't!
21:58His hand barely moved
21:59before Cain's grip
22:00snapped right around
22:02his arm,
22:04sweat instantly
22:05breaking out
22:06on his face.
22:10She's my mate.
22:12You think
22:13you can touch her?
22:16With one sharp twist,
22:18he slammed him
22:19to the floor.
22:20Cain just curled up,
22:22groaning.
22:30Know your place.
22:32This is Eve's
22:33coming of age.
22:35Don't make me
22:36spill blood.
22:38You disgrace!
22:42You're grounded.
22:44Three months.
22:46Stay in your quarters
22:47and think.
22:50Eve!
22:51Tell him you love me!
22:54Stay in your quarters!
22:56I didn't even glance
22:57his way.
22:59Just turned to K.A.
23:00with a quiet smile.
23:04Our bonding ceremony
23:06was locked in
23:07for the next full moon.
23:10One morning before that,
23:12I found him waiting
23:13at the edge
23:13of the training grounds.
23:14He didn't say a word.
23:16Just watched.
23:18Everyone out there
23:19thinks I'm a monster.
23:21That I've killed
23:22too many.
23:28Aren't you scared
23:29of me?
23:34Scared of what?
23:44Scared I'll snap
23:45one day and hurt you.
23:48Not that it matters.
23:50Even if you were,
23:51it's too late.
23:52Whether you regret
23:54this or not,
23:54I'm not letting go.
23:56You're mine.
24:00Eve,
24:01in this life,
24:02you're only mine.
24:05Facing down the pack
24:06for 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
24:17and walked to him,
24:19taking slow,
24:20steady steps.
24:28I've heard what they say,
24:31but I know you're not
24:32the monster they make you out to be.
24:34You.
24:36I chose you,
24:37Case Moonfei.
24:43from the start.
24:46I never doubted it.
24:51his throat bobbed.
24:53He reached out,
24:54his fingers wrapping around my wrist,
24:56steady and warm.
24:58Eve,
24:59don't forget you said today.
25:01His voice dipped,
25:02gravel rough.
25:03I won't.
25:11When I got back to the tent,
25:13Lena was at the fire,
25:14flipping meat.
25:20She spun around
25:21when she heard me,
25:22eyes full of poison.
25:25You really know
25:26how to fake it, huh?
25:27Acting like you're all in
25:28with Case
25:29when you're scared
25:30out of your mind.
25:33What?
25:33Cain suddenly
25:34wasn't good enough?
25:35So now you're throwing yourself
25:36at that psycho?
25:38Just wait.
25:39When Case finally snaps,
25:42you'll be the first body
25:43he drops.
25:47Before I could fire back,
25:49Chaos burst out.
26:02A guard's voice rang out,
26:04panicked.
26:06Miss Abel!
26:08Cain's here!
26:09He brought men!
26:12I yanked open the tent flap
26:14and stepped into the sunlight.
26:18Cain,
26:19surrounded by a few goons,
26:21with the rest of the pack
26:23closing in,
26:24eyes glued to the scene
26:25like it was prime drama.
26:30Cain!
26:31You're here to take me
26:31with you, right?
26:39Cain didn't even glance at her.
26:42He walked straight to me
26:46and pulled a ruby-stuckled
26:48silver moon ring
26:49from his coat,
26:51held it up
26:51like it meant something.
26:54Eve,
26:55I messed up.
26:58But I'm here now.
26:59Give me another chance.
27:05I'll spend my life
27:07making it right.
27:08I'll never let you suffer again.
27:11Swear it.
27:12Disgust churned in my gut.
27:16Did you forget?
27:18Weren't you head over heels,
27:19Felina?
27:21Yeah.
27:27Eve,
27:27please.
27:28It was all a misunderstanding.
27:30No one compares to you.
27:31You're the only one
27:32I've ever loved.
27:34Funny.
27:39That's not what you said before.
27:41You told me once we were bonded
27:42I needed to stay obedient,
27:43stay quiet,
27:44and never question
27:45what you did with Lina.
27:47I was confused.
27:49I didn't mean to hurt you.
28:00Cain,
28:00you said you loved me.
28:02You said I was sweeter than Eve.
28:04You promised we'd be mates
28:05after the full moon.
28:06Shut up!
28:14Cain backhanded her so hard
28:16her head snapped sideways.
28:18The same brutal hit
28:19I knew too well.
28:21Red rents
28:21loomed across Lina's cheek.
28:23She grabbed her face
28:24eyes wide,
28:25stunned.
28:31Slut!
28:32You seduced me!
28:35If it weren't for you,
28:37Eve would have picked me!
28:42You're just a scheming
28:44little wolf.
28:45You were never good enough
28:46to stand next to me!
28:48So he'd known the truth
28:49all along.
28:50He just chose to lie.
28:52Again.
28:55How could you ever
28:56compare to Eve?
28:57She's true able blood.
28:59You?
29:00You're just her mum's
29:01distant cousin,
29:02a tag-along nobody
29:03the pack took pity on.
29:11Did you actually think
29:12I'd become your mate?
29:15I gave her everything.
29:17Let her have the spotlight,
29:18the praise,
29:19and still,
29:20she clawed for more.
29:22Even my mate.
29:24I'm not a tag-along nobody!
29:26I'm not!
29:27You think I don't see it?
29:29Your blood,
29:31your rank,
29:31nothing stacks up to Eve.
29:33You're not even worthy
29:33to be her servant,
29:34and you thought
29:34you could be my mate.
29:45Cain lunged.
29:46Grab on my wrist.
29:48Eve, wait!
29:53Eve, don't leave!
29:56You saw it.
29:57I'm done with her.
29:59I swear,
30:00I'll never go near her again.
30:01Just give me one more chance.
30:06Cain,
30:06have some respect.
30:08I'm about to be
30:09your sister-in-law.
30:16Maybe being
30:17the Silvermoon Alpha's
30:18son made you think
30:19everything should fall
30:19into your lap.
30:20There is one thing
30:22you'll never have.
30:24What?
30:28Second chances.
30:31There's no second chances
30:32in this life.
30:33I made sure
30:34every word hit.
30:36I turned to the crowd.
30:38Voice,
30:39loud
30:40and steady.
30:41Casey and I
30:42will be bonded soon.
30:44Hope to see you all
30:44at the ceremony.
30:47Cain moved to follow,
30:48but I tore free
30:49and walked off,
30:51slamming the tent flap
30:52shut behind me.
30:53Told the guards,
30:54no one gets in.
30:56They're drama.
30:57I was done with it.
31:04The morning of the bonding ceremony,
31:06I was up before the sun.
31:10Cain stepped in,
31:11pushing back the tent flap,
31:13cradling a bunch of fresh
31:14astray leaves,
31:16dewy and wild
31:17from the cedar woods.
31:20He wasn't anything like Cain.
31:23Cain was wildfire.
31:25Loud.
31:27Cocky.
31:28Always looking for trouble.
31:32Case.
31:33Icebound fang.
31:35Sharp jaw.
31:36Blade straight nose.
31:37Eyes locked ahead like nothing could shake him.
31:39Everyone said he couldn't,
31:41love.
31:41But I remembered the way
31:42he tore through the dungeon
31:43to get to me.
31:44And now,
31:45seeing that same tension in his lips,
31:48heat bloomed in my chest.
31:49Last time,
31:51trailing behind Cain,
31:52my gut twisted with dread,
31:54praying he wouldn't Blake now.
32:09Then he stopped cold.
32:15Cain stood dead center,
32:17in front of the moon goddess statue.
32:20Full ceremonial gear.
32:23Blocking our way.
32:24No one thought he'd actually
32:25crash the ceremony.
32:29He had completely lost it.
32:33Case lowered me to the ground.
32:35He started to step forward alone.
32:38But I grabbed his wrist
32:40and moved beside him.
32:45From now on,
32:47we face everything together.
32:49He looked at me.
32:52The morning light
32:53hit his eyes.
32:59Then Cain saw our hands.
33:02His wolf snapped.
33:26Eve, come with me.
33:28Let's swear before the moon goddess.
33:30You were always mine.
33:31Unreal.
33:33The same wolf who tossed me aside,
33:35now begging like it meant something.
33:38Cain,
33:39if you're here to witness the ceremony,
33:41stay.
33:41But if you're here to wreck it,
33:44whatever happened next,
33:45that's on you.
33:47Witness?
33:48You told me you'd only ever love me.
33:52Swore you'd never bond with anyone else.
34:00Cass!
34:14You're insane.
34:16Why would you block it with your hands?
34:18We need a healer!
34:19Now!
34:20Now!
34:26You used to worry about me like that.
34:28Now you won't even look at me.
34:30He is my mate.
34:32Who else would I care about?
34:36Guards swarmed in,
34:38slamming Cairn to the ground.
34:40He fought like a feral,
34:43howling and thrashing.
34:50Cain,
34:50stop!
34:51I'll go with you!
34:52I'll give up everything!
35:02Moon goddess!
35:03Hear me!
35:04I was wrong!
35:05Just one more chance!
35:07I'll protect Eve!
35:08Forever!
35:09I swear she'll never suffer again!
35:13Take him to the dungeon.
35:16The alpha can decide what happens after the ceremony.
35:26Case grabbed my wrist with his good hand
35:29and led me up to the altar,
35:30right before the moon goddess.
35:33Under her gaze,
35:34we completed our bond.
35:36Later,
35:37I heard Theron tore into Cain himself,
35:39then banished him to the forest edge.
35:42No orders.
35:43No entry.
35:45Silver moon was off limits for good.
35:49Night had already settled when K.O. came in.
35:52I was curled up on the bed,
35:54watching as he shut the door with a solid thunt.
35:57What, you planning to stand there
35:58guarding the door all night after the ceremony?
36:00I tapped the spot beside me.
36:02Get over here.
36:05He didn't say a word,
36:06just walked over,
36:07pulled off his robe,
36:08and let it drop.
36:09His back was all muscle and scars,
36:11some old,
36:12some fresh,
36:13warrior-proof.
36:13Then he leaned down,
36:14arms braced on either side of me,
36:16breath hot with cedar lacquer.
36:18Didn't someone just tell me to get in bed?
36:20I looked up at that jaw,
36:21sharp as ever,
36:22and reached for his ear,
36:24burning,
36:24just like I thought.
36:26What?
36:27I grinned.
36:30Scared?
36:30He gave a low chuckle,
36:32then bit the corner of my lip,
36:34just enough to sting.
36:36You're mine.
36:37What would I be scared of?
36:39Then stopped.
36:40Let me ask you something.
36:42What?
36:43Back then,
36:45wolves say you would have died for Cain.
36:47His fingertip brushed my collarbone.
36:49You really done with all that?
36:51With him?
36:53Done with what?
36:54I looped my arms around his neck,
36:57pulling close.
36:58I was blind before.
37:01Now I know exactly who's worth it.
37:07A smart girl.
37:10He pulled his shirt off,
37:11revealing pale scars crossing his chest
37:14like forgotten battle maps.
37:15I touched the largest one.
37:18Even had a rotum.
37:22You don't have to be gentle with me.
37:25I know.
37:40He covered me.
37:42Warm, solid.
37:44Every kiss was a claim.
37:46Every touch,
37:47a promise.
38:13Hitting deeper
38:14until the world just fell away
38:17and stars exploded.
38:32Afterward,
38:33his usual sharpness
38:34softened into something vulnerable.
38:37He sank his teeth into my neck.
38:39I love you.
38:44Three moons later,
38:46I got the news.
38:48By then,
38:49Casey was the alpha.
38:51But seeing my belly,
38:53he just froze.
38:56His skin burned hot,
38:58fingers still shaking.
39:05Eve,
39:07we're having a pup.
39:11I just nodded,
39:12smiling.
39:13Autumn rains hit hard.
39:15Landslide crushed the forest's edge.
39:19He got pinned under the rubble.
39:22Eve,
39:23you came.
39:27Let me end this.
39:29Let me end this.
39:29For good.
39:35I knelt beside Cain.
39:38Blood was everywhere.
39:40Thick,
39:40metallic.
39:41His dead eyes flickered.
39:44Do you remember
39:45in our last life?
39:48He coughed blood,
39:50voice torn to shreds.
39:53You bonded to me
39:54under the moon goddess statue.
39:58Said it would be forever.
40:00Said you'd plant moon petals in the yard.
40:03His fingers clawed at the mud
40:04like he was digging up ghosts.
40:07You had a pup.
40:08She had your eyes.
40:10Chased fireflies in the yard.
40:18Then I laughed cold and sharp.
40:29Keep repeating it.
40:31Maybe one day
40:32you'll believe it.
40:34You,
40:35you.
40:40I remember everything.
40:42You locked me up.
40:44I died.
40:46Me and our partner.
40:47Full of hate.
41:03Let's go.
41:08Rain slammed down,
41:10pounding the rubble,
41:11washing away the rot of the past.
41:15I leaned into Cain's chest,
41:18letting the sound of his heartbeat
41:20ground me.
41:21I was finally free.
41:23me and my soul.
