03:18I clenched my sleeves voice flat didn't say a word
03:22the alpha called me he's hosting my coming of age ceremony himself
03:27the alpha's hosting her ceremony
03:31congrats man
03:32if the alpha's hosting her ceremony he's lining you up to take over
03:36don't forget us when you're alpha

03:41if we do end up bonded stay out of my business with Lena
03:48know your place
03:49or
03:51I won't be your mate
03:53unless you want a repeat of last time
03:57my chest seized
03:59what the hell did that mean
04:00did he remember too
04:04I stared after them
04:06then let out a quiet laugh of my own
04:09perfect
04:11wasn't planning to bond with you anyway
04:14on the day of my coming of age ceremony
04:16Kane showed up late
04:17her lips were swollen
04:19and fresh red marks scratched across his collarbone
04:23wolves nearby traded smirks
04:25no question what they'd been doing in the shadows
04:28in my past life I would have stormed over
04:31ripped off their masks
04:32demanded why they'd humiliate me at my own ceremony
04:37now I glanced once
04:38then looked away like they were dust on my boots
04:41Kane caught that flicker
04:43his hand shut out
04:45shifting Lena behind him
04:50when I didn't flinch
04:51he got twitchy
04:54then laughed
04:55low and mean
04:56what Eve
04:57playing saint now
04:58cause you're scared I won't be your mate
04:59don't be dumb
05:00how about this
05:02after the ceremony
05:04meet me behind the mountain
05:05at the hot spring
05:05don't wear anything
05:07if your body's worth it
05:08maybe I'll let you in my bed
05:09Kane how can you say that
05:10isn't my body better than hers
05:12Kane grinned
05:13pinching her cheek
05:14of course you're better
05:15a thousand times
05:16that hot spring
05:18it's yours
05:31the sound hit like a switch
05:33my past life slammed back
05:37he'd done this before
05:39humiliated me in front of the pack
05:41treated me like some chew toy
05:44I'd shaken with rage
05:46he'd just laughed
05:47said my shame turned him on
05:49someone tried to defend me once
05:51Kane shut them down
05:52called me a heat chaser
05:54who begged for his scraps
05:56pathetic
05:58I turned to walk away
06:00then his hand clamped around my wrist
06:06still pretending
06:08his grip tightened
06:09bone deep
06:13a wolf like you
06:14can't fake what you are
06:16watch your mouth
06:20he smirked
06:21oh
06:22you expect me to respect you
06:24we're bound to be mates
06:25do you really still need that
06:27who said
06:29I'm bonding with you
06:40then
06:41laughter
06:42loud
06:43ugly
06:44everywhere
06:45Kane laughed
06:46the hardest
06:47not bonding with me
06:48then who
06:49everyone knows you'd die for me
06:52what
06:53what
06:54Casey
06:56K has been rotting in the black forest for years
06:59everyone says he's feral
07:01skinned a graveclaw wolf who challenged him and left the carcass hanging
07:05you planning to bond with him
07:06trying to get yourself killed early
07:10what nothing to say
07:11didn't you have all that fire a second ago
07:15or are you finally scared
07:19Eve probably remembered the stories about Casey
07:23she gave Kane's sleeve a dainty tug
07:26but her eyes drilled into me
07:28if she really bonds with him
07:31there might not even be bones left to bury
07:38a few young wolves scusaled
07:40right on cues
07:42in my past life
07:43I probably would have lunged at Lena
07:44and yanked her hair out
07:47but this time
07:49different
07:53who I choose
07:55isn't your business
07:57Lena's smile tricked
07:59then she grabbed her chest
08:01and started coughing
08:02shoulders shaking uncontrollably
08:09Eve
08:10don't be like that
08:13I was just worried about you
08:16you did take a hunter's silver dagger for Kane
08:20remember
08:21she leaned hard into me
08:24next thing I knew
08:26she stumbled back
08:27like I'd shoved her
08:28and dropped to the floor
08:30with a dramatic thud
08:35even if you hate me
08:37you can't push me
08:38my leg
08:39it hurts so bad
08:42he stepped in front of her
08:44like a shield
08:45fury rolling off him
08:47really Eve
08:48that jealous now
08:55she's your sister
08:57Lena was just my cousin
08:59but once she moved in
09:00everyone assumed otherwise
09:06didn't even touch her
09:11still lying
09:14the whole pack knows
09:16you're jealous of Lena
09:18if you hadn't clung to me back then
09:20I wouldn't have even noticed you
09:23Kane don't
09:25Eve's probably just
09:27upset
09:29she always thought you'd pick her
09:31soft words
09:32sharper than claws
09:34whispers started up
09:35same ones from before
09:37that I was forcing the mate bond
09:39hiding behind my father's name
09:41that I couldn't handle my own sister
09:44these rumors stuck like spit
09:46from jealous she-wolves
09:47filthy and hard to scrub off
09:51Kane's rage snapped
09:52he raised his hand
09:54and slapped me across the face hard
09:56you'd better behave
09:58touch Lena again
09:59and I'll throw you out of
10:00silver moon pack myself
10:02the sting on my cheek
10:04spread like fire
10:05I wanted to hit back
10:06but out of the corner of my eye
10:08I saw the guests
10:09shifting around the venue
10:11this was my coming of age ceremony
10:13causing a scene
10:14would only drag the Abel name
10:15through the dirt
10:15Lena stayed tucked behind Kane
10:18she leaned into his chest
10:20like she rehearsed it
10:21that smirk still playing on her lips
10:28maybe he realized
10:30he'd gone too far
10:31his throat bobbed
10:33like words were stuck
10:42Kane my leg hurt so bad
10:46what if I never walk again
10:49pulling every bit of his attention
10:51the whispers crashed in
10:53like waves
10:54their stares hit like poison needles
10:56no manners
10:57she'd go after her own sister
10:59over a mate
11:00as if she ever had a shot
11:02Kane would never choose her
11:03apologize to Lena
11:05you think you can cling to our next alpha
11:07just because your dad
11:07took a silver arrow for his
11:12I remembered everything
11:15breaking myself for Kane
11:17training like hell
11:17just to scare off anyone
11:19who dared glanced his way
11:22thought being ruthless
11:23meant love
11:26now it just felt sad
11:27Kane threw me a disgusted glare
11:30why are you still standing there
11:32if something happens to Lena
11:34you'll regret it
11:43father's about to announce our engagement
11:45be smart
11:46stay in your lane
11:50once the bond's sealed
11:51I'll give you the rank you deserve
11:53just don't mess with me and Lena
11:55I stared him down
11:56locked on those eyes
12:03a horn blasted
12:05long and hollow
12:08the beta strode in
12:12Miss Abel
12:13it's time
12:14his cloudy eyes
12:15landed on my bruised cheek
12:17pity flickered
12:19behind him
12:20a figure in black hood
12:22low jaw sharp
12:23as Sin
12:23a silver edged blade
12:25strapped across his back
12:27wolf fang
12:27pendant
12:28swinging like it had a heartbeat
12:34Casey Moonfoot
12:35Theron's oldest
12:36just back from the black forest
12:38silence hit like a punch
12:40a few pups up front
12:41nearly dropped
12:43someone fumbled a wine bowl
12:45crash
12:47flames hissed
12:48as the liquor met fire
12:49even the beta trick
12:54he'd just skinned a challenger
12:56from Graveclaw pack
12:58still reeked of blood
13:08Casey stopped right in front of me
13:10what happened to your face
13:14voice sharp
13:15cut glass serious
13:21I met those deep blue eyes
13:22and saw it
13:24the memory
13:26him storming the dungeon
13:27blooded and wild
13:30holding my dead body
13:32like it broke him
13:36he went rogue
13:37for me
13:40it is nothing
13:44Cain scoffed
13:46sliding between us
13:47Eve's my problem
13:48don't stress
13:49he squared up
13:50she's about to be my mate
13:52I've got it handled
13:54the beta frowned
13:56about to speak
13:57but Cain shut him down
13:59with one look
14:09Dad sent me
14:10said the Apple Girls
14:11ceremony's a pack matter

14:13I walked past Cain
14:15steps steady
14:16Cain was practically oozing smug
14:18like he already saw
14:18the alpha crest
14:19hanging around his neck
14:22the second the pack
14:24filled the great hall
14:25his silver white hair
14:26caught the lights

33:47Witness? You told me you'd only ever love me!
33:51Swore you'd never bond with anyone else!
34:00Cass!
34:14You're insane! Why would you block it with your hands?
34:17We need a healer! Now!
34:25You used to worry about me like that. Now you won't even look at me.
34:30He is my mate. Who else would I care about?
34:36God swarmed in, slamming Cairn to the ground.
34:40He fought like a feral, howling and thrashing.
34:49Cain, stop! I'll go with you! I'll give up everything!
35:01Moon goddess, hear me! I was wrong!
35:05Just one more chance, I'll protect Eve forever!
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 and led me up to the altar.
35:30Right before the moon goddess.
35:32Under her gaze, we completed our bond.
35:35Later, I heard Theron tore into Cain himself, then banished him to the forest edge.
35:41No orders. No entry.
35:44Silver moon was off limits for good.
35:49Night had already settled when K.O. came in.
35:52I was curled up on the bed, watching as he shut the door with a solid thunt.
35:56What, you planning to stand there guarding the door all night after the ceremony?
36:00I tapped the spot beside me.
36:02Get over here.
36:04He didn't say a word, just walked over, pulled off his robe, and let it drop.
36:09His back was all muscle and scars.
36:11Some old, some fresh.
36:12Warrior proof.
36:13Then he leaned down, arms braced on either side of me, breath hot with cedar lacquer.
36:17Didn't someone just tell me to get in bed?
36:19I looked up at that jaw, sharp as ever, and reached for his ear.
36:23Burning, just like I thought.
36:25What?
36:26I grinned.
36:29Scared?
36:30He gave a low chuckle, then bit the corner of my lip, just enough to sting.
36:36You're mine.
36:37What would I be scared of?
36:39Then stopped.
36:40Let me ask you something.
36:41What?
36:43Back then, wolves say you would have died for Cain.
36:47His fingertip brushed my collarbone.
36:49You really done with all that?
36:50With him?
36:53Done with what?
36:54I looped my arms around his neck, pulling close.
36:58I was blind before.
37:00Now I know exactly who's worth it.
37:07Smart girl.
37:09He pulled his shirt off, revealing pale scars crossing his chest like 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, a promise.
37:52He covered me.
37:54Warm, solid.
38:13Hitting deeper, until the world just fell away and stars exploded.
38:32Afterward, his usual sharpness softened into something vulnerable.
38:36He 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,
38:53he just froze.
38:56His skin burned hot.
38:58Fingers still shaking.
39:05Eve.
39:07We're having a pup.
39:10I just nodded, smiling.
39:13Autumn rains hit hard.
39:14Landslide crushed the forest's edge.
39:19He got pinned under the rubble.
39:22Eve.
39:23You came.
39:27Let me end this.
39:29For good.
39:35I knelt beside Cain.
39:37Blood was everywhere.
39:39Thick, metallic.
39:41His dead eyes flickered.
39:43Do you remember?
39:45In 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.
40:00Said you'd plant moon petals in the yard.
40:02His fingers clawed at the mud like he was digging up ghosts.
40:06You had a pup.
40:07She had your eyes.
40:09Chased fireflies in the yard.
40:18Then I laughed cold and sharp.
40:29Keep repeating it.
40:31Maybe one day you'll believe it.
40:33You.
40:34You.
40:40I remember everything.
40:42You locked me up.
40:44I died.
40:45Me and our pup.
40:47Full of hate.
41:03Let's go.
41:07Rain slammed down.
41:09Pounding the rubble.
41:11Washing away the rot of the past.
41:14I leaned into Kayab's chest.
41:18Letting the sound of his heartbeat ground me.
41:21I was finally free.
