Short filmTranscript
00:00In the name of the fated mate, I offer my soul as sacrifice. I will sacrifice to save my beloved!
00:09A silver, ritual circle flares to life beneath my feet.
00:13I drive my hand into my own chest. My wolf, ember, lets out one last one.
00:19The source of my life and power is pulled out inch by inch, pulsing as it sinks into my dying
00:24brother, Kalen, the center of the altar.
00:27Five years earlier.
00:29Lyra saved your life. How could you do this to her?
00:34Kale, it wasn't me. Lyra burned herself. She framed me. Do you not trust me? I'm your fated-
00:39Shut up! You don't get to say that word. Take her out. Banish her to the wasteland.
00:46Before I can finish, two wolf guards haul me out of the hall. No one hears my screams.
00:51Lyra curls into Kalen's arms, sobbing, covering the arm she burned herself.
00:57My wolf childhood curse burned away my wolf floor. And Lyra shared her life force with me through a blood
01:04-rafting ceremony.
01:05From that day on, she became the pack's blessed savior. And I became the parasite in her death.
01:10The moment I am thrown out the door, dozens of rogue wolves pour into the hall from the shadows.
01:15Chaos erupting everywhere. I am tossed aside on the stone steps outside. No one cares if I live or die.
01:21I lift my eyes. A rogue wolf raises a silver poison sword, aiming straight for my heart.
01:26That he'll save me!
01:29But Kalen, the children, Lyra in his arms, fighting dozens of wolves. He can't reach me.
01:34Tears stream down my face. I close my eyes, waiting to die.
01:38Lone, after the word barely reads his mouth, a massive force slams into me, sending me flying.
01:51I throw myself into the pool of blood, pulling him into my arms, screaming like I've lost my mind.
01:56He looks at me, using his last breath to speak.
01:59You've always been such a pain. Your whole life. I don't understand why my wolf chose you.
02:06Next life. I just want Lyra.
02:09Only Lyra.
02:11Tears dropping one by one onto his lifeless face.
02:14Yeah, I was never meant to exist.
02:16I stagger to my feet, eyes on the silver sword still in his chest.
02:23The sword slides out of his chest slowly, hovering in midair.
02:26The next second, I turn my hand. The sword plunges straight through my heart.
02:30I am slammed to the ground, my knees hitting the floor hard.
02:40Lyra gave you half her life, and this is how you trained her?
02:44That voice. I jerk my head up, seeing Kalem standing right in front of me, alive and well.
02:49He is still alive. I look around like crazy. I died, and now, I am back today.
02:54Today is the day Lyra burns herself, and blames it on me. Nothing has fallen apart yet. There is still
02:59time.
03:00Lyra covers the red mark on her arm, her eyes glistening with tears.
03:03Don't blame her, Sam. She didn't mean it.
03:06This time, I don't scream or explain. I stand up and walk into the hall. The bowl of wolfsbane water
03:11is steaming.
03:12I pick up that bowl of scalding wolfsbane water, then pour it straight over my right arm. The whole hall
03:17falls dead silent.
03:18The expression on Lyra's face freezes. Kalem's eyes go wide. He moves toward me before he can stop himself and
03:24grabs my scalded raw arm.
03:25What the hell are you doing?
03:27The second his fingers touch my skin, a roaring howl tears through the bond between us.
03:32Kale, don't be angry. It's all my fault. Just please stay alive.
03:38But just like before, he shoves me away with disgust. It is okay, Kalem. In this life, I'll give you
03:44what you want.
03:48Word spreads through the Blackwood Pack. I am leaving the stronghold.
03:51I'm renouncing my claim as Alpha heir. Starting today, I'll move to the old house in the Northern Territory.
03:57The hall erupts in uproar. Lyra keeps her head down, smiling as she watches.
04:03Who let you decide this?
04:05Alpha, I need to rest my injuries. I don't look up at him. I just walk straight into my room,
04:10but I didn't expect him to follow me in.
04:13Rest? Or is it that you can't face Lyra, the one who saved your life?
04:17He corners me at the edge of the bed, grips my chin, and tilts my head up to meet his
04:21eyes.
04:22You think giving up your claim makes it even?
04:25The moment our skin touches, we both freeze. Neither of us expects the bond to surge like this.
04:30I feel my wolf, Ember, shivering with excitement. She is calling him. His wolf, Fenrir. Answers.
04:39She's my mate. I'll mark her. She's your sister. This is a curse.
04:46No, she's not. She's our fated mate. I can smell it.
04:51Fenrir tears through his reason, desperate to reach me, to mark me. In the space between our minds, Ember and
04:57Fenrir circle each other.
04:58Nuzzling, whining, pulling closer. Ember whines inside me.
05:02Ember, no.
05:03I plead with her in my mind. He's ours.
05:06He has always been ours. She won't listen to me. The longing in my soul blazes like fire, consuming my
05:11sanity.
05:12Calum's hands shake as he tries to push me away. Yet Fenrir takes control and pins me to the bed.
05:18His hot breath sweeps across my neck, right where the mate mark belongs.
05:22You bitch. What have you done to me?
05:24My whole body trembles. Calium, no. We can't.
05:29Shut up.
05:30I arch my back, digging my nails into his back.
05:33Please, stop.
05:35He leans in, pressing his lips to the curve of my ear.
05:40I hate you.
05:42Ember and Fenrir entwine deep in our souls, letting out a single shared howl.
05:47He marks me.
05:51When I wake up, Calum is already gone. The mark on my neck still burns.
05:55I touch the searing mark and Ember hums contentedly inside me.
05:59I can't help but feel bitter.
06:00That evening, Elowen, I heard you're still hurt.
06:03I made this tonic myself.
06:05But a memory flashes through my mind.
06:07In my past life, I drank this very bowl, mixed with deadly wolfbane.
06:12Three days later, my wolf heart withered completely.
06:15Everyone thought it was just my weak constitution.
06:19Thank you, Lyra.
06:20I take the bowl, sniff it.
06:22But, I want to drink it with you.
06:24Like when we were kids.
06:28Here, this one's for you.
06:31Elowen, I don't need-
06:32What's wrong?
06:33You made it yourself.
06:35Not gonna drink it?
06:36Calum storms it, face dark.
06:38He doesn't even look at Lyra.
06:41Calum!
06:44What's the big deal?
06:46Lyra goes pale, but says nothing.
06:48She mumbles an excuse and rushes out, before I can speak.
06:51Alpha!
06:52Bad news!
06:53Massive rogue wolf attack at the northern border.
06:55I block his path.
06:56You can't go.
06:58Move.
06:58But you drank-
06:59I said move!
07:01He shoves me aside, without another glance.
07:04He storms down the hall.
07:06Straight at night, news arrives from the battlefield.
07:09The alpha was mad at the left.
07:11Unable to tell friends and hope.
07:13Several of his own guards are badly injured.
07:15The alpha's gone feral!
07:16He's attacking our own!
07:17The wolf pain has taken hold.
07:19The mark on my neck blazes.
07:21Tearing pain ripping through my soul.
07:22Ember hears his wolf crying in agony.
07:24She snarls inside me.
07:26Our mate is dying!
07:33The alpha is poisoned with wolf food!
07:36His wolf is dying!
07:37No hope.
07:39His body rejects all outside energy.
07:41No antidote can reach him.
07:43How could this happen?
07:44He was fine just a moment ago.
07:45I dash from my room to the altar, my heart hammering.
07:48The mark on my neck burns fiercely.
07:50Save him!
07:51Please save him!
07:56I pull his head tightly into my arms.
07:58No!
07:59I refuse to believe it!
08:01Why, even with a second chance, can I still not save you?
08:04No, Kale.
08:06You won't die.
08:07I won't let you die.
08:08In the past life, you died in my place.
08:11This life, I would turn my life to you.
08:13Letting you have your happy ending with Lyra.
08:15Moonlight pours through the stone pillars.
08:17Silver magic circle glows beneath my feet.
08:20In the name of the fated mate, with my soul as the offering, I will sacrifice myself to save my
08:28beloved!
08:31My wolf core is pulled out inch by inch, pulsing with silver light.
08:35Never lets out a fort wrench in high and rushes toward his wolf.
08:38I collapse weakly to the ground, unable to hold myself up, staring at him so close yet out of reach.
08:44Paleness drains from his face.
08:45Finally he opens his eyes.
08:47His eyes glow gold.
08:48He inherits my power and my memories.
08:50He sees everything.
08:52The childhood curse, wasn't an accident.
08:54Lyra poisoned my food.
08:55He sees the truth about the blood bonding ritual.
08:58Lyra never gave me her life for it.
09:00She just had the witch lock my wolf heart in silver chains.
09:03Then told the whole pack I saved.
09:05He sees the coming of age ceremony.
09:07I stood at the edge of the crowd, watching him dance with Lyra.
09:11Tears falling one by one.
09:12He sees it all.
09:13Every time he hit me, yelled at me, or humiliated me.
09:16I gritted my teeth, turned away, and cried alone until dawn.
09:20He sees that night in my past life.
09:22Me kneeling beside his body.
09:23Pulling out the silver sword.
09:24Stabbing my own heart.
09:26He finally understands everything.
09:28Including, that I'm never his sister.
09:30The magic circle fades.
09:31He stumbles toward me.
09:32Pulls me from the ground into his arms.
09:34Holding me so tight.
09:35I love it.
09:36I'm sorry.
09:37I'm so sorry.
09:38He cries, confessing his pain.
09:41You would never.
09:42You would never like.
09:44In this life, you finally get what you want.
09:53He clutches my cold body, throws his head back, and unleashes a heart-shattering wolf howl.
09:58The rogue alpha energy inside him detonates by the nuclear blast.
10:02Everyone drops to their knees, trembling in fear.
10:08The rogue alpha energy in the chest.
10:09To the dark, you're 최대 a threesome.
10:12You will never be able to hide from the devil.
10:13The rogue alpha energy in the family.
10:16Oh, I can't believe you.
10:21Oh, I can't believe you, but I can't believe you.
10:30I can't believe you.
10:34Instead, I am trapped in a dark, empty mental space.
10:37Somehow, I am a ghost now, trapped inside Kalim's body.
10:41The one who once hated me to his core is now kneeling before my corpse, crying his heart out.
10:46Kale, don't be sad.
10:48She chose to sacrifice herself.
10:51It was her own choice.
10:52Get lost! You make me sick!
10:55Her eyes wide with disbelief.
10:57Kale, you pushed me away? For her?
11:00The curse she suffered ten years ago wasn't an accident.
11:04Lyra, you poisoned her.
11:06You chained Elowen's wolf heart in silver.
11:09You stole her life, lied to the whole pack.
11:11Did you really think I'd never find out?
11:13Lyra's smile dies, her face drained of color.
11:16Deep inside his mind, I watch this long-overdue reckoning with cold eyes.
11:20Kalim lunges forward and slaps Lyra so hard she flips over.
11:26Kale, stop. Please.
11:29No, that wasn't me.
11:31How do you know? What are you talking about?
11:34She has no idea that right now, inside Kalim's mind, memories of her torturing me and taking my place are
11:39flashing wildly.
11:41Alpha, stop it! You're gonna kill her!
11:43Oh my god! The Alpha's lost it!
11:47That's the little sister he's always loved the most!
11:49They surge forward, trying to restrain the out-of-control Kalim.
11:52Get back!
11:53A wolf power gets in the sky, sending all the blocking guards flying backward.
11:57He stunts down hard on Lyra's broken arm.
11:59In three days, Lyra will stand trial.
12:06High above the blackwood packs, grey paw, wild thunder rips through the sky, nearly tearing the strong wolf apart.
12:12Lyra screams and tries to run.
12:15But Kalim yanks her back hard, with dark iron chains coated in deadly silver poison.
12:20He pins her to the sacred altar, the silver burns, making her convulse violently in agony.
12:25All the blackwood wolves kneel on the ground, trembling in fear.
12:28Deep inside Kalim's mind, I watch it all with cold eyes.
12:31In my past life, it happened here, on this very altar.
12:35He coldly banished me over a single word from Lyra, but now his fingers clutching the chains shake violently.
12:40Kalim! Look at me! I'm your most beloved little sister!
12:45Little sister? You think you deserve this? I was a damn fool back then!
12:51He spins around, and the Alpha's absolute authority thunders.
12:56Bring in the pack, witch!
12:57He plans to start the soul projection.
12:59Then the whole pack will see the truth.
13:01The holy maiden they've worshipped for years is nothing but a rotten fraud.
13:05The words barely leave his mouth.
13:07The great hall doors slam open.
13:09When Lyra sees the witch stepping forward, holding a memory orb ablaze with blood-red flames, all hope drains for
13:15him.
13:15She knows that once those memories are forced into the minds of the whole pack, she'll die.
13:19And the decade-long conspiracy she has hidden.
13:22Everyone will see it.
13:26No! Stop it!
13:28As the pack, witch's cold spell falls, the blood-red orb explodes in midair.
13:32Lyra's deepest memories are forced to project across the great hall.
13:36Everyone's mind link is instantly flooded by this tidal wave of memories.
13:40Each scene plays out in sharp detail, plunging the entire stronghold into complete silence.
13:45In the memory, a young Lyra wears a cruel expression.
13:48With her own hands, she pours deadly wolfbane into my food.
13:51While I writhe in agony, she uses stolen dark magic to seal my wolf heart with silver chains.
13:56Then she wipes the blood from her hands and fakes a song called Blood Bonding Ritual.
14:01Just like that, she transforms herself into my supposed savior.
14:04Watching the pack members who used to despise me, shaking with anger, I can only feel the irony.
14:10This is the pure, holy maiden you've all worshipped.
14:13Lyra.
14:14You freaking liar!
14:17Kalen's eyes blaze blood red.
14:19Like a crazed beast, he reaches out with his wolf claws and clamps down on Lyra's neck.
14:23But just when the pack expects Lyra to be ripped apart, the fake fear in her eyes suddenly vanishes.
14:28She lowers her head, and from her throat comes a chum, insane little laugh.
14:33She's a villain.
14:34She's a villain.
14:35She's a villain.
14:36Ha!
14:37Ha!
14:41Kalen!
14:42Even if you tear me apart right now, you're still doomed to live in endless hell!
14:51That sharp, horrifying laugh rips through the dead silence of the hall.
14:55Nailed to the altar, Lyra knows she's not going to survive.
14:58She tears off her fake mask and feet weak.
15:03You think I'm the culprit?
15:05No! The one who really drove Elwen to her death is you!
15:10You, this high and mighty alpha!
15:13You're the one who hit her, yelled at her, and humiliated her!
15:16You're the one who broke her pride and forced her to rip out her wolf heart!
15:22You deserve to die the most, you sick monster!
15:27Inside Kalem's mind, I observe it all with unfeeling cold eyes.
15:31As Lyra's curses pour down, I feel Kalem's soul defenses shatter instantly.
15:35He coughs up blood in agony, his tall body trembling violently.
15:39Even his hand around Lyra's neck goes limp and releases her.
15:42Kalem sinks into hopeless despair, totally unguarded.
15:45Just then, lying limp on the ground, Lyra's eyes flare with a flash of suicidal, all or nothing matters.
15:54Then let's die together!
15:56Suddenly, a blinding black light erupts from the altar.
16:00The dark magic hidden under Lyra's fingernails explodes.
16:03She springs up like a wild beast.
16:05She plunges a silver dagger coated with deadly poison blade at Kalem's throat.
16:09The silver blade comes within millimeters of his neck.
16:12He closes his eyes with her skin.
16:14It is as if he is willing to accept death as his punishment.
16:18Help! Help! Help!
16:20The kneeling pack members come, scrambling to stop Lyra.
16:23Inside his mind, I watch the dagger come at him with full detachment.
16:28Not a single ripple stirs in my heart.
16:30Kalem, open your eyes and see.
16:32This is the good little sister you've protected for two lifetimes.
16:35The one you pampered, even at the cost of vanishing you.
16:38But just as the poison blade is about to pierce his throat, my wolf Ember lets out a deafening roar
16:43that shapes the heavens.
16:50The silver poison dagger bites into flesh with a dull, sickening sound.
16:55The madness in Lyra's eyes hasn't yet faded before endless fear swallows it whole.
17:00Because Kalem doesn't flinch, not even a twitch of his brow.
17:03Amid the searing pain of poison heating through his flesh, he lifts his hands with a blunt expression.
17:08Like lightning, he snaps it around Lyra's neck.
17:11A sharp, final crack of bone echoes through the great hall.
17:14Lyra's scream cuts out instantly, like a piece of trash.
17:18Kalem tosses her expressionless, straight into the blazing sacred fire at the center of the altar.
17:23Scorching silver-white flames engulf her instantly.
17:26She writhes in agony, twisting and melting in the fire, and finally turns into a foul whisk of black smoke.
17:31I stare at the pile of ashes and let out a long, deep breath, deep inside his mind.
17:36This demon who ruined my life twice, and pushed me into an endless abyss, is finally gone, completely erased from
17:42this world.
17:43But before I can even look away, Kalem, who is barely holding on, suddenly spits up a mouthful of blood.
17:48His tall body crashes to his knees beside the ashes.
17:51He knows the real punishment is only just beginning.
17:59Alpha, this is our fault!
18:00He cries roar like a tidal wave.
18:02The whole Blackwood pack drops to their knees.
18:04The elders and pack members who once despised me slam their heads against the cold floor.
18:09Kalem doesn't even glance at them.
18:11He moves like a soulless corpse.
18:12His steps are heavy and staggering as he walks out.
18:15Alpha, Alpha, Alpha!
18:17A few ruling elders rush to block him.
18:20Alpha, get lost!
18:21With an almost hopeless roar, the last of Kalem's Alpha power erupts, blasting the elders backward.
18:27His blood-red wolf, eyes burn with the dead silence of destruction.
18:31One more word.
18:32You die!
18:35Everyone freezes in an instant, tense silence.
18:38No one dares to stop him.
18:39He staggers into the center of the empty, dead, silent inner hall.
18:43Suddenly, the ultimate backlash from his shattered mate Bond hits him.
18:46It strikes like a thousand arrows.
18:48His sanity shreds in an instant.
18:50Blue.
18:51Kalem coughs up a huge amount of black blood.
18:53His tall body goes limp and crashes to his knees like a ragdoll.
18:57He doesn't even grunt.
18:58Everything goes black.
18:59He loses consciousness completely.
19:01The moment he blacks out, his giant wolf, Fenrir, lets out a pained, terrified whimper in the darkness.
19:10That night, the inner hall of the stronghold is silent, like a grave.
19:14Kalem lies in a painful coma from the soul backlash.
19:16His tall body twitches violently on the bed.
19:19Cold sweat soaks him from head to toe.
19:21Deep inside his soul, a brutal war erupts.
19:23I stand as a ghost in the darkness and clearly see two giant wolves.
19:27One is Kalem's wolf spirit, Fenrir.
19:30The beast is now drenched in blood.
19:32His front paws claw at the ground in pain.
19:34He lets out pitiful whimpers into the darkness.
19:36Above him, my wolf spirit Ember who should have died with me.
19:40Perches proudly on a cliff in the mine space.
19:42After absorbing the life force Kalem sacrificed.
19:45His wolf eyes are cold, like a god.
19:49Fenrir tries to move closer, wagging his tail.
19:52He seems to beg forgiveness for his host.
19:54Instinctively drawn toward his fated mate.
19:57Ember's eyes explode and look at Roman hatred.
20:00Ember launches like a bolt of golden lightning.
20:02One claw rips Fenrir's shoulder open.
20:04Fenrir screams in pain and collapses to the ground.
20:07Elwyn, please come back.
20:10Come back.
20:11In the real world, the unconscious Kalem sheds a single tear from the corner of his eye.
20:20Elwyn, you're here.
20:22Right.
20:22Please, don't hide from me.
20:26The two giant wolves inside him keep tearing at each other.
20:30But his mind on the edge of collapse suddenly snaps awake.
20:33I can smell you.
20:35You're right here.
20:36You didn't leave me, did you?
20:38After fully merging with my wolf heart, he realizes he can faintly sense what remains of my consciousness.
20:43His eyes fly open.
20:45He falls off the bed, scrambling and crawling.
20:47He screams like a madman into the empty room, crying his heart out.
20:53Right now, I drift like a cold mist, standing silently in the darkest corner of his soul, watching him.
20:59Of course I can speak.
21:00My mind is completely intact.
21:02If I want, my voice can shatter his skull from inside his head.
21:05But I just watch.
21:09Answer me!
21:10Curse me!
21:11Please!
21:12Just one word!
21:14He digs his nails into the cracks in the stone, his whole body shaking with sobs.
21:23Kalem grits his teeth, forcing himself to take the poison-coated silver blade and slash open his own right arm.
21:32He convulses violently from the pain, sweat raining down onto the ground.
21:38Werewolves are born afraid of silver, especially this deadly, ultra-pure silver poison.
21:43But this arrogant supreme alpha stares at his own bloody, mangled right arm and lets out a twisted, hopeless laugh.
21:51Does it hurt, Elwyn?
21:55So this is how much it hurt you back then.
21:58Every bit of pain you suffered.
22:00I repay myself ten times, a hundred times.
22:03Just don't leave me, just say one word.
22:06Please.
22:06Back when silver poison tortured me and my wolf heart shattered,
22:10he was holding Lyra, fussing over her, treating me like the pack's disgrace.
22:14Kalem goes completely insane.
22:16He raises the silver blade high, aiming it at his own heart.
22:19You won't come out?
22:21Fine!
22:22Then I'll rip this heart out and give it back to you!
22:24No, Alpha!
22:26No, Alpha!
22:28Get out of my way!
22:29Don't stop me!
22:30The silver blade tears through the steel shields.
22:33The force sends the guards flying, coughing up blood.
22:35Kalem lorves, eyes blood red, like a madman driven to the edge.
22:43Alpha, stop!
22:44Are you trying to destroy the whole pack?
22:47The elders stare at Kalem, covered in blood, trying to stab himself with the silver blade.
22:52Fear makes them all drop to their knees.
22:54Everyone thinks he has completely lost his mind.
22:57Then the high priest, trembling, holds out a leather scroll and kneels in the pool of blood.
23:01Alpha, look at this!
23:03Kalem throws the silver blade aside and snatches that ancient scroll.
23:06Deep inside Kalem's mind, I focus and look too.
23:10On the torn, weathered leather, is an ancient, forbidden werewolf legend.
23:14Deep in the rogue wasteland, a place of killing theft, lies a sacred site sealed by the moon goddess herself,
23:22the moonwell.
23:22It says, if one can pass the three trials of the oracle, even a shattered wolf heart can be restored
23:29and brought back to life.
23:30The high priest's voice shakes.
23:31Rogue wasteland, moonwell.
23:33Kalem stares at the words, his whole body trembling violently with pure overwhelming joy.
23:38It is as if he has grasped the final lifeline before drowning.
23:40He laughs like a madman, yet he has no idea.
23:43On that wasteland, tens of thousands of hungry rogue wolves wait.
23:47They are ready to tear up like the supreme alpha walking straight.
23:54Tomorrow, I'm going to the moonwell.
23:56The words hit like a thunderbolt, and the entire alpha hall falls into dead silence.
24:00On the platform, Kalem's face is pale, but his resolve is absolute.
24:04He reaches up and removes the alpha bone ring, the symbol of the pack's highest authority.
24:09He shows no hesitation and tosses it straight to the beta he trusts most.
24:13Alpha!
24:14Have you lost your mind?
24:16For a dead woman, you're really going to abandon the whole pack?
24:20Beta kneels on the ground, begging.
24:22Shut up!
24:23Kalem's bloodshot golden eyes sweep over the crowd, cold and merciless.
24:26Yet, the moment he steps into the rogue wasteland, the gates of hell swing open.
24:31No rules here, only killing.
24:33Rawr!
24:34Look who just showed up!
24:36Along with bone, chilling laughter, countless pairs of blood-red wolf cries ignite in the darkness.
24:42Hundreds of massive rogue wolves, reeking of rot, surge in like a tidal wave in all directions.
24:47Get back!
24:48Kalem unleashes a roar of pure despair.
24:51A rogue wolf fights clean through his thigh and tears off a chunk of flesh.
24:55Another huge wolf breaks its claws across his chest, leaving gashes so deep the bone shows.
25:00Blood poured out like crazy.
25:01For Elowin, I will not!
25:03At that moment, Kalem goes completely preserved, breaking through the siege of hundreds of savage wolves.
25:08But the three oracle trials of the Neurov are 10,000 times more terror-harring than the savage wolves on
25:14his face.
25:18A huge wolf sees its chance, stepping over the scattered bodies and lunging.
25:22Claws aimed straight at Kalem's throat.
25:25By now, Kalem is completely drained.
25:27He doesn't even have the strength to lift his heavy eyelids.
25:29The deadly wolf claw hovers just a centimeter from his carotid artery, and the rogue wolves on the waistband start
25:36letting out triumphant snarls.
25:37Alpha or not, he's just dead meat.
25:40But right at this life, or death moment, Roar, a female wolf's roar suddenly explodes from a deepened cry to
25:47your throat.
25:47It is me.
25:49To be exact, it is Ember, the giant wolf nested deep within his soul.
25:53Facing the taunts of these lowly rogue wolves, Ember's pride snaps.
25:57In an instant, she takes control of Kalem's battered body.
26:00Bam!
26:01Kalem's eyes instantly blaze with blinding golden light.
26:04With a single backhand, he slams the huge wolf into the mirror, smashing it into a pulp.
26:08Blood sprays everywhere.
26:09The rogue wolves around in panic.
26:11Tails tucked, scattering in all directions.
26:14The danger passes, and Ember's consciousness fades back into hiding.
26:17Kalem collapses to his knees in the thick, sticky blood, gasping for air as if he has nothing left.
26:22However, he ignores his wounds, shaking.
26:25He lifts a hand to the side of his neck, where the mate-bond mark with his faded mate blazes.
26:31Elevin, it's you.
26:33You're here, right?
26:34Hot tears spill from his eyes.
26:37You're still here.
26:38You've finally answered.
26:40Please stay.
26:44At the edge of the rogue wasteland, ancient mist rolls in like a tide.
26:48The first trial of the moonwell, the illusion forest, begins.
26:51The mist here can tear one's soul apart.
26:53Ancient illusions pull Kalem in instantly.
26:56Smack.
26:56A sharp, crisp slap echoes through the dead.
26:59Silent forest.
27:00Inside the illusion, his past self glares coldly.
27:03For a single lie from Lyra, he slaps me hard, sending me crashing to the ground.
27:07Then the scene shifts.
27:08He sits high above, passing judgment, banishing me from the pack, while my wolf heart shatters,
27:13and my body is covered in blood.
27:14Every wrong he committed against me in his past life now tears at his mind.
27:18I'm sorry.
27:19I'm so sorry.
27:21My elf.
27:22As an alpha, his mental power could easily crush these low-level illusions.
27:26But Kalem doesn't resist at all.
27:28He kneels before the visions, face pale as death.
27:31Oncel werewolf's mind breaks.
27:32They become a mindless raging beast forever.
27:35Yet, he opens his arms wide, letting the pain consume him.
27:38He rides and rolls on the ground, caught in the agony of the illusion.
27:41This is only the first trial, and he is already on the edge of breaking,
27:45just as his mental defenses are about to collapse completely.
27:48The knee inside the illusion suddenly turns her head.
27:51Those cold, lifeless eyes lock onto him.
27:57No!
27:58Please!
27:59Put the sword down!
28:00Don't stab yourself!
28:02Inside the illusion forest, Kalem screams his heart out at Empty's face.
28:06In the vision, my past self desperately drives the poison,
28:09coated silver blade, into my own chest.
28:11That scene was what finally broke him.
28:13He goes completely insane, slapping himself over and over.
28:16Then he twists his fingers into claws and digs deep into his own left chest,
28:20trying to tear out the wolf heart that belongs to me.
28:23It's all my fault.
28:25I should die!
28:27Elway!
28:28Flesh and blood splatter everywhere.
28:30His fingernails are already pressing against his wildly beating heart.
28:33Kalem, stop!
28:35A cold, lifeless female voice explodes in his mind.
28:38Kalem's self-harm freezes instantly.
28:40His whole body shakes violently,
28:41and his blood-red golden wolf eyes blaze with sick, desperate joy.
28:45Elowen?
28:47It's you!
28:48It's really you!
28:49You're talking to me.
28:51You forgive me, don't you?
28:53He collapses to his knees in the blood,
28:55a total mess,
28:56responding to me frantically through the mind link,
28:58feeling the pain deep in his soul,
29:00the kind that is about to drive him insane.
29:02The wall I've been holding up finally crumbles completely.
29:05Kalem.
29:06Stop.
29:07Please, just stop.
29:09Kalem, you're the alpha of the Blackwood Pack.
29:12How could you hurt yourself like this?
29:14For me?
29:15The power of the alpha heart surges violently,
29:18and the shockwaves tear through chunks of the origin force around him.
29:21Kalem feels my love and my heartache,
29:23every ounce of it,
29:24and his body goes weak.
29:25He collapses fully into the pool of blood.
29:29I'm sorry.
29:31Elwyn.
29:32It's all my fault.
29:33It's all my fault.
