Short filmTranscript
00:00Vivian went mad. When I visited her, she drove a blade through my throat.
00:04In our last life, my sister, Vivian, and I were engaged on the same day.
00:07She chose the eldest prince, Alpha's favorite.
00:10I was left with the younger prince, who did not even have an inner wolf.
00:12On his wedding day, the eldest prince was suddenly ordered to war, and died at the border.
00:17Meanwhile, the younger prince, once deemed a failure, awakened his inner wolf.
00:21He passed the trials, and became the new Alpha, ruled the entire pack.
00:25Vivian spent two years widowed in that abandoned palace, crying and demanding to go home.
00:31Father had always doled on her, yet he slapped her and said,
00:34if she died, she died beside the eldest prince's grave.
00:38When I visited her, she drove a blade through my throat.
00:42When I opened my eyes again, we were both back on the day of our coming-of-age ceremony.
00:46This time, Vivian rushed to say she wanted the prince with no inner wolf.
00:50I smiled.
00:51She did not know that without me, that useless prince's inner wolf would never awaken.
00:55Did Vivian really dislike those peaceful, carefree days?
00:58She had lived in an undisturbed palace, far from all worries.
01:02The courtship tokens of the two princes lay before us.
01:05When Vivian snatched the younger prince's token, I knew she had been reborn, too.
01:09In our past life, she took the eldest prince's gemstone pendant, tossed me the younger prince's copper ring.
01:14Iris, I mean no offense.
01:16The eldest prince is fastidious by nature.
01:18You don't know court rules, and you are poor with words.
01:21If you married into his palace, I doubt he'd like you.
01:24The younger prince suits you better.
01:26Since he lacks an inner wolf, he must be easy to deal with.
01:29In this life, she was just as arrogant.
01:32Iris, the younger prince is truly useless.
01:34I have always cherished you, so I'll let you have the good match with the eldest prince.
01:39I just smiled.
01:40She was right.
01:41Marrying the eldest prince was cute of a cod attrition.
01:43Ditting Vatromycin's can lend Vivian awaking a pandacas nation for long.
01:55Vivian gripped the copper ring tightly, leaning close to mother's ear to whisper a few words.
02:00Father did not die from the plague.
02:01Mother's expression shifted from shock to hesitation.
02:04Then she gritted her teeth.
02:06Vivian, have you thought this through?
02:08If anything goes wrong, if anything goes wrong, won't you still be here, mother?
02:14Vivian rested her head on mother's shoulder, speaking in a spoiled tone.
02:18Mother fell silent for a moment before finally nodding.
02:21The marriages for Vivian and me were settled just like that.
02:24It was the same in our past life.
02:26Mother placed the two tokens before Vivian and me, letting us choose.
02:30But I knew I had no choice.
02:32Vivian took the pendant and threw the ring to me.
02:35But soon after she entered the eldest prince's palace, he died on the battlefield.
02:40To curry favor with Alpha, father forced Vivian to remain in the eldest prince's palace for the rest of her
02:46life.
02:47Vivian would not accept it.
02:48Especially when she heard from father that my mate, the younger prince, had awakened his inner wolf and held a
02:54boundless future.
02:56Day after day, she relived the day our engagements were arranged, until the obsession drove her mad.
03:05Driven by hatred, Vivian killed me.
03:10Then took her own life.
03:12So when she realized she had re-cash in a rush to trash the younger prince's engagement,
03:16she had no idea what kind of days beside the younger prince.
03:19In the cold and damp, with no one one to talk to.
03:22Now, this was for the best.
03:23She sent herself into hell and handed the light to me.
03:26The carefree, comfortable life she had in our last life was mine now.
03:30Three days later, Vivian and I were married off at the same time.
03:35Vivian married into the younger prince's long-abandoned old palace.
03:39I was escorted in a grand frid procession to the eldest prince's castle.
03:43Before we could complete the mating ceremony, urgent hoopbeats thundered through the gates.
03:47The maids barely reacted and led me into the eldest prince's chamber.
03:50Moments later, a tall, handsome man in armor stopped before me.
03:54This was the eldest prince, Damon, my mate.
03:57There was apology in Damon's eyes.
03:59Forgive me, Iris.
04:01An urgent border dispatch came.
04:03I must leave at once.
04:04I froze for a moment.
04:05In my past life, Damon died too early.
04:08I never knew he was this striking.
04:10I had prepared for this.
04:12After dismissing the maids, I took an amulet from my trunk.
04:15Damon, I had a dream last night.
04:20In it, you were summoned to war on the day of our wedding.
04:23You fell into an ambush, gravely wounded.
04:26Then a blizzard seared the road.
04:28The shock in Damon's eyes slowly turned grave.
04:31Border military matters were confidential.
04:33There was no way I could have known.
04:34I gritted my teeth and presented the amulet with both hands.
04:37Your Highness, I thought it was only a nightmare.
04:39I never expected this time to mitch my room exactly.
04:42Please be careful.
04:43I will wait for your return in your palace.
04:45Damon said nothing, staring at the amulet in my palm.
04:49I could have stood by and avoided taking risks.
04:52Being left alone in an empty castle would be a blessing for me.
04:56Even so, I could not bear to see such a brave and wise future Alpha die like this.
05:00Nor could I bear the deaths of thousands of innocent warriors.
05:03After a long silence, a large hand took the amulet from my palm.
05:07Thank you, Iris.
05:09After Damon marched into battle, I did not sit island.
05:12My cousin Nora knew the army well.
05:19I sent her a letter.
05:21The next day, she came in person.
05:25Nora, I need your help.
05:28Nora looked at me and nodded.
05:29We spoke in secret for half the day.
05:32Upon leaving, she held the jewelry box.
05:36Iris, are you certain?
05:38This is your entire fortune.
05:40From the moment I spoke those words to Damon, everything became a gamble.
05:45Since that was the case, why not gamble at all?
05:48I believed I could reverse the fate of my past life.
05:50I would win.
05:51This concerns every pack warrior.
05:53I won't fail you.
05:56After seeing her out, I received Damon's letter.
05:59He told me my dream had come true.
06:01He escaped disaster.
06:03I smiled, then headed to Alpha's palace.
06:07Today was Alpha's birthday banquet.
06:09Vivian snored as I walked through the doors.
06:11Iris married the eldest prince, but she has only grown more clueless.
06:14Showing up at a time like this?
06:15But I can't blame you.
06:17Damon left for war on the day of your mating ceremony.
06:19You probably didn't even get a proper look at his face, did you?
06:21And Vivian immediately looked triumphant.
06:24My mate Ethan is handsome, capable, and devoted to me.
06:28On our mating night, he promised me that he would never love another woman in this life.
06:32I nodded.
06:33That, I believed.
06:34In my last life, Ethan had said the same to me.
06:36Until my death, he never broke his promise.
06:39Only a cast a glance at Vivian, not revealing the truth to her in advance.
06:42This time she had made her own choice.
06:43Had she not?
06:44The Alpha's birthday banquet was grand.
06:46I sat in a corner, watching coldly as Vivian clung to Ethan's arm.
06:50Vivian moved through the crowd with a victor's smile, as if she had already secured her place
06:55as the future Luna.
06:56The turning point of everything happened today.
06:58A rogue assassin infiltrated the banquet.
07:01He aimed a dagger straight at Alpha's throat.
07:03Everyone stood frozen in terror.
07:05Only Ethan rushed forward, saving Alpha's life.
07:09It was also on that day that Ethan's inner wolf awakened, proving himself before everyone,
07:14and the news of Damon's death arrived on the very next day.
07:17Everyone called it the will of the moon goddess.
07:19The useless prince awakened his inner wolf, the servant's suspicious behavior first,
07:23and quietly informed Ethan.
07:24His inner wolf awakened because he marked me on our wedding night.
07:28I possessed a pure inner wolf, a rary seen only once in a thousand years.
07:32Half of my power flowed into Ethan's body, awakening his wolf.
07:35But in this life, he would no longer have such good fortune.
07:39A furious roar interrupted my thoughts.
07:42Die!
07:43You are unfit to rule this pack!
07:45The servant had somehow been rough before Orion.
07:47A silver green flashed in his hand, thrusting toward Alpha's throat.
07:50Your good days are over.
07:52You will spend your life guarding an empty house,
07:54while I am about to become the future Luna.
07:57Vivian whispered into my ear.
07:59Certain a victory, she looked expectantly toward Ethan.
08:02I merely gave a disdainful smile and perished Alpha.
08:05With a single move, he subdued the assassin.
08:08Vivian froze.
08:09That man was Damon, not Ethan.
08:12Damon released the assassin's collar, tossing him to the guards.
08:15Ethan stood frozen in place, trembling.
08:18Silence fell over the hall.
08:20Damon and I exchanged a smile.
08:22Vivian's face turned as white as paper, and she cried out in panic.
08:26This is impossible!
08:27Alpha Orion came back to himself.
08:28He strode forward and gripped Damon by the shoulder.
08:31My son, you have returned!
08:33Damon knelt on one knee.
08:35Father, the siege at the northern border has been broken.
08:37The final battle is close, so I came back to celebrate your birthday.
08:40He raised his head, his gaze sweeping past the crowd to land on me in the corner.
08:46All of this is thanks to Iris.
08:48Everyone followed his gaze to look at me.
08:51Vivian snapped her head around, her eyes filled with disbelief and malice.
08:55I slowly walked to the center next to Damon.
08:57The blizzard buried our supply lines.
08:59Iris was ready.
09:00She used everything she had to buy rations and send them to the front.
09:04She kept our warriors alive.
09:06Alpha Orion clapped his hands, his face filled with emotion.
09:10Good, this is excellent.
09:12Pass down my order.
09:14Reward Iris generously.
09:16Many guests came to show their goodwill to me.
09:18Vivian stood in place, trembling.
09:21After the banquet disperged, she blocked my path.
09:24My dear Vivian, you seem disappointed.
09:27With no one else around, Vivian lowered her voice.
09:30Do you think you have won?
09:32Ethan's inner wolf will awaken sooner or later.
09:35He will become Alpha, and I will become Luna.
09:39For now, you only seem to have the advantage.
09:41Just wait and see, Iris.
09:44Do not gloat too early.
09:46Damon stayed in the castle for only one night.
09:49The final battle was not yet over.
09:51The remnants of the rogue army had retreated into the snowy mountains, so he needed to continue
09:55the pursuit.
09:57Before dawn, he donned his armor and prepared to march.
10:00Before departing, he leaned down from his horse and pressed a silver amulet into my hand.
10:05Wait for me.
10:06After seeing him off, I went to see Luna.
10:09I asked to go north with a supply force to aid Damon.
10:12Alpha would not agree.
10:13There had never been such a precedent.
10:15After all, I was just an ordinary Omega.
10:18Military forces were precious, leaving no room for me to act recklessly.
10:22Even though we had only spent a few short days together, Luna had treated me kindly.
10:26I knew I could trust her.
10:27I repeated to Luna what I had once said to Damon.
10:30The final battle was of grave importance.
10:32Only by winning it could we prevent endless trouble in the future.
10:36Luna remained silent for a long time before saying.
10:39But if you go and something unfortunate happens, how am I to explain this to Damon?
10:43How am I to explain this to your father?
10:45Luna, I intend to share life and death with my mate.
10:48As for my father, he has never cared much about whether I lived or died.
10:52Luna looked at me with pity and let out a long sigh.
10:54She chose to trust me and agreed to my request.
10:57Iris, you will become a hero of the pack.
11:00When you return safely, I shall personally ask Alpha for your reward.
11:03You are willing to do this much for the pack and for Damon.
11:07I am deeply moved.
11:09Iris, go.
11:10I traveled north through raging blizzards.
11:12The world turned into a vast expanse of white.
11:15Along the way, the reinforcements Nora had gathered kept joining my force.
11:20By the time I reached the border, my army stretched as far as the eye could see.
11:24The road became increasingly difficult to traverse.
11:27We spent a full four days covering the final hundred miles.
11:30At last, the carriage wheels sank into the heavy snow, unable to move.
11:34Change to sleds.
11:35My order was passed down, and the guards tied sleds to the horses.
11:39A sled could carry far less than a carriage.
11:41To move all the weapons and supplies, we would need to make seven or eight trips.
11:45But for this final stretch, we could only use this clumsy method, inching forward bit by bit.
11:50I had also brought Damon's warhorse.
11:52Ever since entering the snowfields, it had been run restless.
11:54I stroked its mane over and over, soothing it in a low voice.
11:58Once all thirty sleds were fully loaded, I mounted Damon's horse.
12:02Nora stayed behind to set up camp with the remaining force, waiting for us to return the empty sleds.
12:07This was the arrangement Nera and I had discussed, and it was also the reason I had to come person.
12:13Damon to march to more, he took all his trusted guards with him.
12:16Way down in the chumpal were with under-familiar at Sench at the Senchipild.
12:20At Degas Frica, I go I can embalm Damon.
12:22That last stretch of road seemed to have no end, even wrapped in the finest fox fur and wearing the
12:27warmest leather boots.
12:28I still shivered in the piercing wind.
12:30Sharp pain came in waves through my arms and calves.
12:33I leaned over the horse's back, telling myself over and over.
12:37Endure this road and victory will be yours.
12:40That belief kept my frail body moving, step by step, through the blizzard.
12:44I leaned over the horse's back, telling myself over and over.
12:48Endure this road and victory will be yours.
12:51That belief kept my frail body moving, step by step, through the blizzard.
12:58I could see Damon's camp right before me, but at that moment, several dark figures suddenly sprang from the woods
13:05ahead.
13:06Who goes there?
13:07Blade light flashed over the snow.
13:09The guards met them at once.
13:11The clash of blades pierced the silence.
13:14I pulled back the reins, my heart sinking heavily.
13:17They were not the rogues.
13:19They fought like the men who served under Ethan.
13:22Vivian had sent them.
13:24She was truly impatient.
13:25She must have heard I'd set out to support Damon and could no longer sit still.
13:29If I earned merit at the front.
13:31If Damon returned alive, even if Ethan's inner wolf awakened, what would that change?
13:36So she had to stop me from reaching the front.
13:39Better yet, I could die here in the snow and leave no evidence behind.
13:44In our past life, she killed me once.
13:47In this life, she wanted to kill me again.
13:50But unfortunately for her, things would not go her way this time.
13:54An attacker in black broke through the guard's defensive line.
13:57He charged at me, thrusting a dagger at my heart.
14:00I dodged sideways and swung my sword in a backhand strike.
14:04He cried out in pain and dropped his dagger.
14:07I seized the chance to spur the horse.
14:10It ran forward with a shrieked nest.
14:12But more black-clayed attackers surrounded me.
14:15The guards were pinned down, unable to save me in time.
14:18I clenched my teeth, ready for a desperate fight.
14:21Suddenly, a sharp wolf howl tore through the sky.
14:24A massive dark figure leaped down from a snow dune at my flank.
14:28He landed before me, cutting down the attacker.
14:31It was Damon.
14:33Damon said nothing.
14:34He turned to break another attacker's sword with a single slash.
14:37In a few heartbeats, all the attackers were subdued and fell to the ground.
14:41Damon sheaved his sword, turning to look at me.
14:44Are you injured?
14:46I shook my head.
14:48My heartbeats still racing.
14:50He asked no more.
14:52He strayed to my horse, took the reins, and observed my pale face.
14:56Why are you here?
14:57I came to deliver supplies to you.
14:59He looked where I pointed.
15:01The guards pulled back the tarps, revealing the sleds fully packed with rations and silver weapons.
15:08He had known nothing of what I had done.
15:11Damon's gaze held shock, emotion, and respect.
15:15Thank you, Iris.
15:16He held my arms, helping me down from the horse.
15:19The moment my frozen feet touched the ground, pain shot through them.
15:23Damon saw me frown and scooped me into his arms.
15:26I did not try to act brave.
15:28I thanked him softly and let him carry me into the camp.
15:32In my past life, Damon died here from grieving his wounds.
15:35A rising star among commanders had fallen forever.
15:39But today, he would survive this trial.
15:41The nightmare of my previous life would remain only that.
15:44A nightmare.
15:45Leaning against Damon's warm embrace, I fell into a peaceful sleep.
15:51I woke up when Damon placed me on the bed.
15:54Damon.
15:56You are awake.
15:58Are the supplies I brought enough?
16:00I had no idea how much you needed, but I mobilized all the resources I could.
16:05Damon's eyes flickered.
16:07He sat on the edge of the bed, enveloping my cold hands in his large palms.
16:12It is not enough to sustain us through the final battle, but it will keep us going until
16:17supplies arrive from the rear.
16:21That is good.
16:22Only then did I realize how close we were to each other.
16:25Our breaths mingled.
16:27On this freezing winter day, our bodies felt exceptionally hot.
16:31Damon stared at me with burning eyes.
16:34My cheeks flushed.
16:36He let out a frustrated breath.
16:40No, not now.
16:42Your Highness?
16:43Iris.
16:44Rest for a few days, then return with the army.
16:47He took a salve from his coat.
16:49Gently, he opened my palms, applying the cream to the cracked, bloody cuts.
16:54I was thinking the same.
16:56I can be of no help here.
16:58I would only distract you.
17:00You overthink it.
17:01You have helped me greatly.
17:03He put away the salve, helped me lie down, and drew the covers over me.
17:08We are close to the rogue camp here, and they launch night raids from time to time.
17:13But do not worry.
17:14I am here.
17:16Go back to sleep.
17:28How did you get so thin?
17:30I did not stay long.
17:32Seizing a break in the storm, I embarked on the journey home.
17:36The moment I returned to Damon's castle, a maid came to tell me Vivian had come again.
17:40I changed my clothes and went to see her in the garden.
17:44Vivian was not as radiant as the last time we met.
17:47I calculated the time.
17:49She must have reached the limits of her patients.
17:51She had been mated for months.
17:53That maid Ethan, the one she called talented, handsome, and devoted, must have never touched
17:59her since their mating night.
18:01But Vivian would never pour out these bitter grievances to me.
18:04The moment I appeared, she became arrogant once more.
18:08She looked over my travel-born face, and seemed to misunderstand something.
18:13Iris, I heard Damon is not faring well on the battlefield.
18:16But you need not be too sad.
18:18Once Ethan secures his position in the future, I will look after you.
18:21Indeed.
18:22Then I thank you, Vivian.
18:23Poor you.
18:24So young.
18:25Yet you will soon be trapped in this castle for the rest of your life.
18:31The prince is generous to me.
18:32I want for neither food nor clothing.
18:34There is nothing bad about living here.
18:36And you still seem to be wearing the same old jewelry.
18:39Do you lack the coin to buy new ones, Vivian?
18:42I raised my wrist, revealed a new bracelet I had deliberately worn.
18:45Vivian's face changed.
18:46Ethan was not favored, so the treatment in his palace was naturally poor.
18:51Let alone buy Vivian new jewelry.
18:54But she would never tell me the truth.
18:56You should stop worrying about my jewelry.
18:58Iris, a few days ago, I dreamt that Damon died at the border.
19:02You had better be careful.
19:03Displeasure flared in my heart, but my face remained impassive.
19:06Do you really believe in dreams that much, Vivian?
19:09If so, didn't it tell you why Ethan no longer wants to share your bed?
19:12Her eyes flew wide.
19:14Vivian stared at me like she'd seen a ghost.
19:17Now that the outcome of the war was settled, she could not stir up any trouble.
19:21So I did not mind letting her know that she was not the only one who had been reborn.
19:26The answer is, I will not tell you.
19:30Go find out for yourself.
19:32I twirled a piece of her hair and gave a wicked year smile.
19:35Vivian stormed off in fury.
19:37I knew the real spectacle was yet to come.
19:39The day Damon returned in triumph, the entire castle was filled with joy.
19:44Luna sent word, telling me to wait in my chamber.
19:47The maids bustled in and out, wearing knowing smiles on their faces.
19:51Someone made the bed, and another lit an incense burner.
19:54A wisp of faint, sweet fragrance curled upward.
19:58I took one breath and instantly felt flushed.
20:00What is this?
20:02My lady orders from Luna.
20:04She handed me a folded piece of fabric.
20:07Let's get you changed.
20:08Dazed by the fragrance, I let the maids change my clothes.
20:12When I looked in the mirror, I saw a spear slip barely hanging from my shoulders.
20:16At once, my ears burned.
20:18It covered nothing.
20:19Under the candlelight, my curves could be seen.
20:22This is a belated mating night.
20:24Do not be too nervous, my lady.
20:25The oldest maid showed everyone out and winked at me.
20:28Soon, I was alone in the chamber.
20:30Then, footsteps echoed outside the door.
20:33Damon came into my view.
20:34Iris, I'm back.
20:36Damon stood in the doorway, still wearing his weather-beaten armor.
20:39The second he saw me, he stopped breathing.
20:42His gaze slowly slid down from my face to my breasts, never shifting away.
20:46His atom-a-boggled bobbed.
20:48Luna asked me to wear it.
20:50Damon said no more.
20:52He strode in and crouched before me.
20:54His fingertips lightly brushed the slipping strap at my shoulder.
20:58The candlelight danced in his eyes.
21:00Usually, they were deep and composed.
21:02Now, they seemed to blaze with living fire.
21:05He leaned down to kiss me.
21:06Just one breath of his familiar pine sent a shiver down my spine, triggering my long-suppressed heat.
21:13The incense also reached its strongest point, deepening the haze of our mating night.
21:17Iris, Iris.
21:19Damon's palms were scalding, pressing against my waist and trailing upward.
21:23I held Damon tightly.
21:24The bed curtains fell, and the candlelight swayed.
21:27That night, we were no longer mates in name alone.
21:29We fully sealed the mating bond.
21:31The ceiling was spinning.
21:33Damon had me pinned to the mattress, and I only had one thought left in my brain.
21:36In this life, I had definitely chosen the right mate.
21:39Three days later, Luna hosted a victory banquet for Damon.
21:42The moment I saw Vivian entered smiling brightly on Ethan's arm, I knew Ethan had already removed the seed of
21:46doubt I had planted in her heart.
21:48Iris, so what if Damon survived?
21:49He spends his years on the battlefield.
21:51There will surely be many accidents yet to come.
21:53Ethan will soon pass the council's trials, and I already carry his pup.
21:57He just did not want to touch you.
21:58I don't think I am like you.
21:59When I paired her mane to my class there, who's friends with Ian's thankfuls that Ethan refused his mating, indisible
22:04Vivian's argued, simply consummated their leave.
22:07Nine months later, Vivian gave birth to a son.
22:09My parents, along with nearly everyone in the royal hallace, went to visit her.
22:13I did not expect that person to cause a scene in front of everyone.
22:16Vivian was holding her pup, showing him off to the others, when a tall slender young man suddenly burst into
22:21the inner chamber and threw himself to his knees by the bed.
22:23The maids broke into a panic.
22:25Cedric, how dare you intrude into my bedchamber?
22:29What do you think you are doing?
22:31She had reached the limit of her patience with Ethan's trusted guard.
22:34In my past life, I too, felt indignant over this.
22:37The silver and effort Ethan had spent on Cedric had far excited anything he had ever given me, his mate.
22:41Only on that day, when that filthy scene struck me like a slap across the face, did I finally understand
22:45why.
22:46Lady Vivian, please, just let me and Ethan be together.
22:52He would never love another woman in this life.
22:54It was all a lie.
22:55My lady, you had your baby.
22:57Selt on the crown so hard his whole body trembled.
22:59Stephen gave you an air.
23:00Can you return him to me now?
23:00He was delicate-faced and in tears he looked even more fragile than Vivian in her bed.
23:04Vivian froze.
23:05She stared at him blankly.
23:07What?
23:08What did you just say?
23:10Who let this madman in?
23:12Guards!
23:13Drag him out!
23:14The guards seized Cedric by the arms, yet he still struggled desperately and cried out to Vivian.
23:19My lady!
23:20My lady!
23:20Stop!
23:21Let him go!
23:22Cedric, what are you talking about?
23:24Vivian, honey, don't stress yourself out.
23:26The man has clearly lost his wits.
23:28I'll have him thrown in the dungeon.
23:30Vivian shoved mother off.
23:32She locked eyes with the crying man on the floor.
23:34At that moment, everything clicked for her.
23:36The months of Ethan ignoring her, the insinuation I had planted, and the way Ethan treated his guard better than
23:40his own mate.
23:40All of it finally fell into place.
23:42She lost her mind.
23:42She screamed at the top of her lungs.
23:43Cedric!
23:44What is between you and Ethan?
23:47We grew up together.
23:49He promised me I was the only one he would ever love.
23:53Vivian's lips trembled.
23:54She couldn't make a sound.
23:56I stood there quietly, watching it all.
24:01By the time Ethan sprinted into the room, it was an uprow.
24:04The guards had Cedric pinned to the floor.
24:06Vivian was leaning out of bed, slapping Cedric furiously like a madwoman.
24:10Mother was hovering, frantically trying to pull Vivian back.
24:14I was standing by the door to keep a safe distance.
24:17Iris, are you alright?
24:20What is happening?
24:22Wait.
24:22Cedric and Ethan?
24:26Yes.
24:27Let's go home.
24:28After an incident like that, I assumed Vivian would break the mating bond.
24:33She wasn't like me.
24:34Our parents obsessed over her.
24:36Even with such a scandal, she would still be fine if she returned home.
24:39Father, I want to sever the bond with Ethan.
24:42Ethan is still a prince.
24:43If you sever the bond, you're disrespecting the Alpha.
24:45How is Vivian supposed to live like that?
24:48You want the Alpha to wipe out our whole bloodline?
24:50Honey, Ethan said he would send Cedric away.
24:53No one can threaten your position now.
24:55Just endure it.
24:56Mother, you want me to rot beside a man who doesn't even want me?
25:00Silence!
25:07You'll die beside Ethan if you have to.
25:10Father summoned me home to talk some sense into Vivian.
25:13Vivian sat blankly at the bedside.
25:15After a long while, she suddenly smiled at me.
25:19You think I'm a joke, don't you, Iris?
25:21She looked up, eyes bloodshot.
25:23I clearly made a different choice this time.
25:25Why am I still in hell?
25:27I didn't have an answer for that.
25:29Perhaps it was because she had been cherished since childhood.
25:32She never understood that, in the end, you have to save yourself.
25:36In our last life, Ethan did not rise only because I awakened his wolf.
25:40I dragged him to the throne to keep myself alive.
25:42Back then, I didn't find out about him and Cedric until after he passed the council's trials.
25:47At least now, Vivian still had mother making plans for her.
25:50But as an unfavored child, I had nobody.
25:53When I discovered Ethan and Cedric together, Ethan did not even bother to hide it.
25:57He humiliated me.
25:58They even lay together before my very eyes.
26:01They treated me like a maid.
26:02Ethan knew I couldn't do anything.
26:04Unlike Vivian, I had nowhere to run.
26:06I lived in pure hell for a long time.
26:08So, when Vivian killed me, she kind of did me a favor.
26:12As I watched her unravel, I felt no triumph.
26:15What I felt was something I could not clearly name.
26:17For the first time, I spoke sincerely to her.
26:21Ethan is not the right man.
26:23Do not accept this fate, Vivian.
26:25I turned to leave.
26:26She started laughing and crying behind my back.
26:29Why didn't you warn me?
26:31You love this, don't you, Iris?
26:33Everything you have, you stole from me.
26:35I will not let you have your way.
26:37In the end, Vivian went back to Ethan.
26:40When I heard the news, I didn't even blink.
26:43She chose her road.
26:44She always chose first.
26:46Vivian exploited mother and father's guilt.
26:49She took a great deal of treasure from the family and returned to Ethan's palace.
26:53She did not simply sit idly beside Ethan.
26:56She even used her own money to bide the pack elders on his behalf.
27:00Thought it worked.
27:01Ethan passed the trials with Eve.
27:03He bought out the council and became a council member.
27:07Suddenly, everyone was fawning about Vivian again.
27:10The sudden rise in status went straight to her head.
27:13At the packed banquet, she even tried to force me to kneel and wipe her shoes, claiming that I had
27:18accidentally stepped on her.
27:19Luna arrived in time and stopped Vivian with a harsh rebuke.
27:23Vivian, who do you think you are, asking the future Luna to clean your shoes?
27:28Vivian turned stark white.
27:30She forgot Luna had only one son, Damon.
27:33Ethan was a bastard from Alpha and a maid.
27:35Luna had always despised him.
27:37Vivian dropped to her knees and begged.
27:39Luna released her commanding era, forcing Vivian to her knees in immediate submission.
27:43For her, it was a huge humiliation.
27:45Vivian knelt for hours.
27:47When her maids finally dragged her limping body away, she glared at me like a demon.
27:52I asked her if she was looking at the wrong person.
27:55She sneered.
27:56Enjoy the view while it lasts, Iris.
27:58I soon understood what she had meant.
28:00The border came under attack again.
28:02Damon was ordered to march out.
28:04The northern packs seized the opportunity and launched a full southern invasion.
28:08One after another, they broke through the border defenses.
28:10By the time the alarms rang, their vanguard had already reached our territory.
28:15The territory fell into utter disorder.
28:17The rogues locked down the palace.
28:20They took everyone hostage inside the Great Hall, intending to force Alpha Orion to yield the throne.
28:25Vivian stopped before me.
28:27She was dressed in costly velvet, adorned with enough jewels to rival a treasury.
28:32Iris, look.
28:33In the end, I am still the victor.
28:36I'd been sitting on the floor with my eyes closed for an hour.
28:39I opened my eyes and looked at her.
28:41By then, I had already cut through my ropes with the hidden knife Damon had given me.
28:45Vivian.
28:46I asked the one thing I never understood.
28:48Why do you cling to me so much?
28:50Me having a good life doesn't ruin yours?
28:52Vivian paused.
28:53Nonsense!
28:54You doing better than me is the ultimate insult!
28:56Understood.
28:57I closed my eyes again.
28:58There was nothing left for us to say.
29:00Dot Vivian flew into a rage.
29:02She hated being ignored.
29:03What do you mean by that?
29:04Do you think anyone is coming to save you?
29:06The rogues control the palace now.
29:08Once they break through the final gate, Ethan will become the new alpha.
29:11And I will be the most powerful Luna.
29:13I let out a harsh laugh.
29:15Your husband cannot even govern his own household guard.
29:17You think he can run a pack?
29:19You!
29:20Before Vivian could say another word, Steel clashed outside the heavy doors.
29:25She froze.
29:26She ran to the door, cracked it, and yanked a terrified guard inside.
29:30What is happening out there?
29:32The guard was shaking violently.
29:34The rogues got wiped out!
29:36Prince Damon is back!
29:36He's slaughtering the rebels.
29:38He's trapping the rebels!�
