00:00You
00:07Choose one of my sons as your mate
00:10On my 18th birthday alpha called me up in front of the whole pack and told me to choose one
00:15of his says my mate
00:17whichever I chose
00:19He'd be the next alpha I didn't flinch I
00:23Picked Casey everyone knew I used to be stupidly in love with Kane. I'd confessed at every pack dance
00:30Casey? Coldest, meanest wolf we had. Total menace. No one got close.
00:35But they didn't know the truth.
00:37In my last life, I was bonded to Cain.
00:40On the day of our bonding ceremony, he slept with Lena, my cousin.
00:45My mum lost it.
00:48Shipped Lena off to Dusk Wolf Pack to get bonded to their beta.
00:55Cain? He blamed me.
00:59When he found out I was carrying his pup, he made sure I saw him with every one of them.
01:07It was torture.
01:09When labour hit, he locked me in the dungeon, blocked everyone out.
01:16My pup got crushed.
01:19I died hating him.
01:24Maybe the moon goddess felt sorry for me.
01:26She gave me a second shot.
01:28I came back.
01:30This time, I let Cain keep Lena.
01:34Didn'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.
01:42Cain.
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 wolves frozen.
02:00Eyes locked on me waiting for a show.
02:02I knew this game.
02:04Last life, he treated me like his damn servant.
02:08You dropped it.
02:10You pick it up.
02:11The training ground went dead quiet.
02:17What did you just say?
02:21Damn, Eve.
02:22Switching tactics?
02:23Weren't you all over him like two days ago?
02:25Now you're acting royal?
02:26Girl, you were his simp.
02:28Clinging to him all the time.
02:30You think your dead daddy's proud of this act?
02:44I told you to rest.
02:46Who said you could be out here?
02:47Look at Lena.
02:49She's hurt and still helps me.
02:51And you?
02:51Just standing there like a spoiled brat?
02:54No sense of duty.
02:56Same old trick.
02:59You just crawled out of my father's office, didn't you?
03:04What now?
03:05Pulling 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.
03:16Always guilt-tripping.
03:17Always scheming.
03:18You've tried every trick to lock me down.
03:20I clenched my sleeves.
03:22Voice flat.
03:23Didn't say a word.
03:25The alpha called me.
03:26He's hosting my coming-of-age ceremony himself.
03:30The alpha's hosting her ceremony?
03:32Yeah!
03:33Congrats, man!
03:34If 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 Lena.
03:50Know your place.
03:52Or...
03:53I won't be your mate.
03:56Unless 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.
04:08Then let out a quiet laugh of my own.
04:11Perfect.
04:13Wasn't planning to bond with you anyway.
04:15On the day of my coming-of-age ceremony,
04:18Kane showed up late.
04:19Her lips were swollen, and fresh red marks scratched across his collarbone.
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,
04:34demanded why they'd humiliate me at my own ceremony.
04:39Now, I glanced once, then looked away like they were dust on my boots.
04:43Kane caught that flicker.
04:45His hands shut out, shifting Lena behind him.
04:51When I didn't flinch, he got twitchy.
04:56Then 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.
05:11Kane, how can you say that?
05:13Isn't my body better than hers?
05:14Kane 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, humiliated me in front of the pack,
05:43treated me like some chew toy I'd shaken with rage.
05:48He'd just laughed, said my shame turned him on.
05:51Someone tried to defend me once.
05:53Kane shut them down, called 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.
06:09Still pretending.
06:10His 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.
06:28Do you really still need that?
06:29Who said?
06:31I'm bonding with you.
06:42Then.
06:43Laughter.
06:44Loud.
06:45Ugly.
06:46Everywhere.
06:47Kane laughed.
06:48The hardest.
06:49Not bonding with me?
06:50Then who?
06:51Everyone knows you'd die for me.
06:54What?
06:56What?
06:57Casey?
06:58Ka's been rotting in the black forest for years.
07:01Everyone says he's feral.
07:03Skinned a grave claw 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?
07:13Didn'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 Kane'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, right on cues.
07:44In my past life, I probably would have lunged at Lena and yanked her hair out.
07:48But this time...
07:51Different.
07:55Who I choose isn't your business.
07:59Lina's smile tricked.
08:01Then she grabbed her chest and started coughing.
08:05Shoulders shaking uncontrollably.
08:11Eve, don't be like that.
08:15I was just worried about you.
08:18You did take a hunt for silver dagger for Kane.
08:22Remember?
08:23She leaned hard into me.
08:26Next thing I knew, she stumbled back like I'd shoved her.
08:30And dropped to the floor with a dramatic thud.
08:37Even if you hate me, you can't push me!
08:40My leg, it hurts so bad!
08:44He stepped in front of her like a shield, fury rolling off him.
08:49Really, Eve? That jealous now?
08:57She's your sister!
08:58There you are!
08:59Lina 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 Lina.
09:20If you hadn't clung to me back then, I wouldn't have even noticed you.
09:24Kane, don't.
09:26Eve's probably just...
09:29upset.
09:30She 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 my own sister.
09:45These rumours stuck like spit from jealous she-wolves.
09:49Filthy and hard to scrub off.
09:52Kane's rage snapped.
09:54He raised his hand and slapped me across the face hard.
09:57You'd better behave.
10:00Touch Lina again.
10:01And 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.
10:18Lina stayed tucked behind Kane.
10:19She leaned into his chest like she rehearsed it.
10:23That smirk still playing on her lips.
10:30Maybe he realised he'd gone too far.
10:33His throat bobbed.
10:34Like words were stuck.
10:44Kain, my leg hurts 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 over a mate.
11:02As if she ever had a shot.
11:04Kane would never choose her.
11:05Apologise to Lina.
11:07You think you can cling to our next alpha just cause your dad took a silver arrow for his?
11:14I remembered everything.
11:16I remembered everything.
11:17Breaking myself for Kane, training like hell just to scare off anyone who dared glanced his way.
11:23Thought being ruthless meant love.
11:27Now it just felt sad.
11:30Kane threw me a disgusted glare.
11:32Why are you still standing there?
11:34If something happens to Lina, you'll regret it.
11:44Father's about to announce our engagement.
11:47Be smart.
11:48Stay in your lane.
11:51Once the bond's sealed, I'll give you the rank you deserve.
11:54Just don't mess with me and Lina.
11:56I stared him down.
11:58Locked on those eyes.
12:05A horn blasted.
12:06Long and hollow.
12:09The beta 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 beta trick.
12:55He'd just skinned a challenger from Graveclar 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.
13:25The 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 beta frowned, about to speak.
13:59But Cain shut him down with one look.
14:10Dad sent me.
14:11Said the Apple Girls ceremony's a pack matter.
14:14Let's move.
14:15I walked past Cain, steps steady.
14:17Cain was practically oozing smug.
14:19Like he already saw the alpha crest hanging around his neck.
14:24The second the pack filled the great hall,
14:26his silver white hair caught the lights.
14:30Dude was ancient.
14:32Like over a hundred, but still stood like a legend.
14:36He reached for my hand, smiling.
14:40Big day.
14:50Eve's come of age.
14:54And just like I promised her father,
14:57she'll choose one of my sons as her mate.
15:02When she does,
15:04that wolf the next alpha.
15:07Gasps rippled through the hall.
15:10All eyes snapped to Cain.
15:12Some 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,
15:32already halfway into his victory strut,
15:34until Theron threw up a hand.
15:38Then Theron turned, gaze softening toward the corner.
15:45Case.
15:59You ready, Eve?
16:04How'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!
16:18This 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.
16:42The Alpha's word is final.
16:45Eve has chosen Case as her mate.
16:47What?
16:47No, 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.
17:19Grabbed my wrist hard enough to bruise.
17:22Liar!
17:23You love me!
17:24Everyone 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,
17:35ripping Cain's hand off.
17:40What are you waiting for?
17:41What are you waiting for? Get him out!
17:42Unless you're begging for a fight too.
17:45They snapped to it,
17:46hauling Cain back as he kicked and fought.
17:51Eve!
17:53Say something!
17:54Tell them it's wrong!
17:56You chose me!
17:58Therian clicked a hand.
18:06The Beta handed me a carved wooden box,
18:09etched with the Silvermoon totem.
18:12Miss Abel,
18:13a gift from the Alpha.
18:15May your bonds strengthen the pack.
18:18I stared down at it,
18:20something flickering in my chest.
18:25Inside was the Alpha Crest,
18:27passed down for generations.
18:33The one Cain spent his whole past life chasing.
18:37At the banquet,
18:39torchlight danced along the stone walls.
18:42I scanned the crowd.
18:44No sign of Cain.
18:49I turned Berry Wine in hand,
18:51and smacked straight into a solid chest.
18:56The sharp scent of pine hit me.
18:58My eyes burned.
19:04Back then,
19:05when Cain locked me in that cellar,
19:07it was Case,
19:09who kicked the door down,
19:11and carried me out,
19:13barely breathing.
19:20He was wrecked,
19:22bleeding everywhere,
19:23snarling at the wolves crowding 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 into a bloodbath,
19:35dragged every one of Cain's dirty secrets
19:37straight 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,
19:51that voice inside hasn't shut up.
19:53Choosing him is right.
20:03Once the feast kicked off,
20:05Theron made his move.
20:07He just pointed,
20:09straight to the empty chair on his right.
20:14Every wolf in the froze.
20:16That seat meant one thing.
20:19Cain 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,
20:35Cain crashed the party.
20:37Stumbling through the crowd,
20:38completely wasted,
20:39looking absolutely pathetic.
20:42Father, you can't approve their bond!
20:45Get him out of here.
20:47If he can still stand,
20:49he can crawl to his quarters.
20:51Don't disgrace us.
20:55Eve and I!
20:57We grew up together!
20:59We and the getter each other!
21:02Eve and I!
21:03We...
21:04You can't tear us apart!
21:07Oh?
21:09Poupode sweethearts?
21:11Funny.
21:13I remember it differently.
21:15Eve,
21:16care to clear that up?
21:20Alpha, I'm not sure why Cain would say that.
21:23I've always seen him like a brother.
21:26He's the one chasing Lena, not me.
21:33Ever love you?
21:34I always have!
21:38I get it.
21:40You're jealous!
21:41Still pissed I gave the Arctic fox fur to Lena, huh?
21:45Using Cain to get back at me?
21:47You shouldn't say that.
21:49I'm forming a mate bond with Cain.
21:55You're mine!
21:57You can't!
21:58His hand barely moved before Koei's grip snapped right around his arm.
22:04Sweat instantly breaking out on his face.
22:10She's my mate.
22:12You think you can touch her?
22:17With one sharp twist, he slammed him to the floor.
22:20Cain just curled up, groaning.
22:23He's the one.
22:24He's the one.
22:25He's the one.
22:29He's the one.
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!
22:56I 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.
23:14He 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.
24:00Eve.
24:01In this life, you're only mine.
24:05Facing down the pack for me in our last life, my 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, but I know you're not the monster they make you out to be.
24:34You.
24:36I chose you, Case Moonface.
24:40I chose you, Case Moonface.
24:43From the start, I never doubted it.
24:47I chose you.
24:51His throat bobbed.
24:53He reached out, his fingers wrapping around my wrist.
24:56Steady and warm.
24:59Eve, don'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.
25:25You really know how to fake it, huh?
25:27Acting like you're all in with Case when you're scared out of your mind.
25:33What? Cain suddenly wasn't good enough?
25:35So now you're throwing yourself at that psycho?
25:38Just wait.
25:39When Case finally snaps, you'll be the first body he drops.
25:47Before I could fire back, chaos burst out.
26:02A guard's voice rang out, panicked.
26:07Miss Abel! Cain's here!
26:09He brought men!
26:13I yanked open the tent flap and stepped into the sunlight.
26:18Cain, surrounded by a few goons,
26:21with the rest of the pack closing in,
26:24eyes glued to the scene like it was prime drama.
26:30Cain, you're here to take me with you, right?
26:39Cain didn't even glance at her.
26:42He walked straight to me
26:46and pulled a ruby-stuckled silver moon ring from his coat.
26:51Held it up like it meant something.
26:54Eve, I messed up.
26:58But I'm here now.
27:00Give me another chance.
27:05I'll spend my life making it right.
27:08I'll never let you suffer again.
27:11Swear it.
27:13Disgust churned in my gut.
27:16Did you forget?
27:18Weren't you head over heels, Felina?
27:27Eve, please! It was all a misunderstanding!
27:30No one compares to you!
27:31You're the only one I've ever loved!
27:34Funny.
27:39That's not what you said before.
27:41You told me once we were bonded I needed to stay obedient, stay quiet,
27:44and never question what you did with Lina.
27:47I was confused.
27:49I didn't mean to hurt you.
28:00Cain, you said you loved me!
28:02You said I was sweeter than Eve!
28:04You promised we'd be mates after the full moon!
28:06Shut up!
28:14Cain backhanded her so hard her head snapped sideways.
28:18The same brutal hit I knew too well.
28:21Red rents loomed across Lina's cheek.
28:23She grabbed her face, eyes wide, stunned.
28:32Slut!
28:33You seduced me!
28:35If it weren't for you, Eve would have picked me!
28:42You're just a scheming little wolf.
28:45You were never good enough to stand next to me!
28:48So he'd known the truth all along.
28:50He just chose to lie.
28:52Again.
28:55How could you ever compare to Eve?
28:57She's true able blood.
28:59You?
29:00You're just her mum's distant cousin.
29:02A tagalong nobody the pack took pity on.
29:11Did you actually think I'd become your mate?
29:15I gave her everything.
29:17Let her have the spotlight.
29:19The praise.
29:20And still, she clawed for more.
29:22Even my mate.
29:24I'm not a tagalong 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 to be her servant and you thought you could be my mate.
29:45Cain lunged.
29:47Grab on my wrist.
29:48Eve, wait!
29:52Eve, don't leave!
29:56You saw it.
29:57I'm done with her.
29:59I swear I'll never go near her again.
30:01Just give me one more chance.
30:06Cain, have some respect.
30:08I'm about to be your sister-in-law.
30:16Maybe being the Silvermoon Alpha's son made you think everything should fall into your lap.
30:20There is one thing you'll never have.
30:24What?
30:27Second chances.
30:30There's no second chances in this life.
30:33I made sure every word hit.
30:36I turned to the crowd.
30:38Voice loud and steady.
30:41Casey and I will be bonded soon.
30:44Hope to see you all at the ceremony.
30:47Cain moved to follow.
30:48But I tore free.
30:49And walked off.
30:51Slamming the tent flap shut 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.
31:10Case stepped in.
31:11Pushing back the tent flap.
31:13Cradling a bunch of fresh astray 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.
31:35Blade straight nose.
31:37Eyes locked ahead like nothing could shake him.
31:39Everyone said he couldn't, love.
31:41But I remembered the way he tore through the dungeon to get to me.
31:44And now, seeing that same tension in his lips, heat bloomed in my chest.
31:50Last time, trailing 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 crashed the ceremony.
32:30He had completely lost it.
32:33Case lowered me to the ground.
32:35He started to step forward alone.
32:39But I grabbed his wrist and moved beside him.
32:46From now on, we face everything together.
32:50He looked at me.
32:52The morning light hit his eyes.
32:59Then Cain saw our hands.
33:02His wolf snapped.
33:26Eve come with me let's swear before the moon goddess you are always mine unreal
33:33the same wolf who tossed me aside now begging like it meant something
33:38Cain if you're here to witness the ceremony stay but if you're here to wreck it
33:44whatever happened next that's on you
33:48witness you told me you'd only ever love me swore you'd never bond with anyone else
34:15you're insane why would you block it with
34:17your hands we need a healer now
34:26you used to worry about me like that now you won't even look at me he is my mate
34:32who else would I care about God swarmed in slamming him to the ground he fought
34:41like a feral howling and thrashing
34:50Cain stop I'll go with you I'll give up everything
35:02moon goddess hear me I was wrong just one more chance I'll protect Eve forever I
35:10swear she'll never suffer again take him to the dungeon the alpha can decide what
35:18happens after the ceremony
35:26case grabbed my wrist with his good hand and led me up to the altar right before
35:31the moon goddess under her gaze we completed our bond later I heard Theron tore into Cain himself
35:39then banished him to the forest edge no orders no entry silver moon was off limits for good
35:49night had already settled when K.O. came in I was curled up on the bed watching as he shut
35:55the door
35:55with a solid thunt what you planning to stand there guarding the door all night after the ceremony I tapped
36:01the spot beside me get
36:03over here he didn't say a word just walked over pulled off his robe and let it drop his
36:09back was all muscle and scars some old some fresh warrior proof then he leaned down arms
36:15braced on either side of me breath hot with cedar lacquer didn't someone just tell me to get in bed
36:20I looked up at that jaw sharp as
36:22ever and reached for his ear burning just like I thought what I grinned
36:30scared he gave a low chuckle then bit the corner of my lip just enough to sting
36:36you're mine what would I be scared of then stopped let me ask you something
36:43what back then wolves say you would have died for Cain his fingertip brushed my collarbone
36:49you're really done with all that with him done with what I looped my arms around his neck pulling
36:57close I was blind before now I know exactly who's worth it
37:07smart girl he pulled his shirt off revealing pale scars crossing his chest like forgotten battle maps
37:15I touched the largest one even had a rotum
37:22you don't have to be gentle with me
37:25I know
37:40he covered me warm solid every kiss was a claim every touch a promise
38:13hitting deeper until the world just fell away and started to be able to
38:18so avid to go to keep his headliga
38:18my jawas exploded
38:19...
38:19...
38:32afterward his usual sharpness softened into something vulnerable
38:37he sank his teeth into my neck
38:39I love you.
38:44Three 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.
39:22Eve, you came.
39:27Let me end this.
39:29For good.
39:35I knelt beside Cain.
39:38Blood was everywhere.
39:40Thick, metallic.
39:42His dead eyes flickered.
39:44Do you remember in our last life?
39:48He coughed blood, voice 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.
40:07You had a pup.
40:08She had your eyes, chased fireflies in the yard.
40:18Then I laughed cold and sharp.
40:29Keep repeating it.
40:31Maybe one day, you'll believe it.
40:34You, you.
40:40I remember everything.
40:43You locked me up.
40:44I died.
40:46Me and our pup was full of hate.
41:03Let's go.
41:08Rain slammed down, pounding the rubble, washing away the rot of the past.
41:15I leaned into Cain's chest, letting the sound of his heartbeat ground me.
41:21I was finally free.
