00:00true luna though the lichen king himself announced me the lichen seer said i was born to be a true
00:05luna though the lichen king himself announced me his son's mate but on our bonding day my father's
00:11bastard daughter swapped the carriage and took my place i caught it stopped the ceremony had her
00:16dragged out and sold to the pleasure dens i entered the crown den just like i was supposed to
00:21then on the day i went into labor the healer said the pup was breach both of us might not
00:27survive
00:27that's when kale walked in the lichen prince who had always given me everything i wanted
00:32he walked in with her standing right beside him
00:44alara if you hadn't lied about being born luna why would i have ever been forced to bond with you
00:51your mother is already in the warrior camps now it's your turn to taste the feeling of losing
01:00everything bella leaned close to my ear that luna seat you wanted that man you wanted
01:07they can only ever be mine i died right there consumed by rage when i opened my eyes i was
01:14back
01:15back on the day of the bonding ceremony this time i decided to give them exactly what they wanted
01:21i am born under the moon's blessing but the alpha throne there is no reason it has to be his
01:27the drums outside snap me back white silk everywhere i was reborn through the curtain i heard my mother
01:33crying alora once you pass through those gates i can't protect you anymore hold your temper never
01:40speak against kale i felt the ache hit me hard last time it was this exact moment i noticed something
01:46was wrong i walked off my carriage filed a complaint on the spot dragged bella right back out of that
01:52carriage the lichen king wanted her executed my father had to kneel and use our ancestral honor
01:57seal just to keep her alive what i never knew was that kale had been secretly sending her money the
02:03whole time waiting for my weakest moment to destroy me thinking about their faces still made me sick
02:08this time i sat still i waited just as the carriage was about to move i heard hooves then a
02:14voice i knew too
02:15well stop my body went cold the second i heard it that voice in my past life he used that
02:21same
02:22voice to whisper sweet things to me right before he threw me into the abyss kale blocked the whole
02:27procession walked straight to the main carriage pulled bella out himself how is this the bastard
02:33daughter the lichen king chose the illegitimate daughter how was the carriage swapped this is an act
02:39of deceiving the king kale didn't hear any of it his eyes were only on her thank the moon we
02:43made it in
02:43time bella this time i will make you my mate i swear it a cold shock ran through me he
02:51was reborn too
02:53bella was flustered but she couldn't hide how smug she was my mother pushed through the crowd
02:58why is it you where is my alara where have you hidden her kale shoved her aside
03:06the lunar seat belongs to bella alone i already told his majesty a wolf like alara who spreads lies
03:14cannot enter the stronghold the argument outside kept getting louder i lifted the curtain and stepped
03:20down my mother saw me in plain clothes everything that was supposed to be mine was draped on bella
03:26she snapped at bella immediately the alpha gave you permission to attend out of compassion and you
03:31had the nerve to steal the luma seat
03:38this was commanded by his majesty's own decree do you want the whole blackwood pack buried with you
03:44bella and i love each other if alara hadn't made up that born lunar trick
03:49she isn't even worthy of being in my presence his majesty knows everything now the decree will be
03:55withdrawn i will never recognize this bonding sister i don't know why the carriage was changed
04:01but since this is kale's wish i dare not argue alara be sensible don't disgrace the blackwood pack
04:10i congratulate the lyman prince on getting exactly what he desires he forgot something i didn't need him
04:16to be myself but whether he could hold that throne that was another matter entirely
04:22kale looked surprised he snorted and walked away with bella the crowd watched them go
04:28i stood alone in the road in my bonding robes my mother gripped my hand and turned on my father
04:35edmund blackhood this is the bastard you insisted on keeping she had the nerve to scheme against alara
04:41if you don't fix this i want a separation my father said nothing mother don't be angry
04:48i chose not to bond with him isn't it good to have me by your side forever
04:57yes my daughter was born under the moon's blessing go back to your room and have a rest
05:02today you were wronged but kale already has his majesty's approval i can't help you
05:07you are always refined and sensible far more than bella but the whole territory knows you
05:12were supposed to be bonded today if you stay home now everyone will talk the blackwood pack
05:16will be the laughingstock of the territory i cut him off so father wants me to be that laughingstock
05:22a legitimate daughter the king's chosen mate stolen by a bastard and now i'm supposed to step aside
05:29to cover it up before nightfall i'd already be everyone's gossip father your real fear is i still
05:35want the lunar seat that i'll create a war between sisters and expose how you favored a low she-wolf
05:42allowed a bastard to steal the legitimate daughter's bonding ruined the blackwood alpha's reputation
05:47if i willingly bond with someone else he could spin it as my own failure
05:53if you want me to bond i will bond but i choose who otherwise i bring everything before his majesty
06:01every detail about the she-wolf you kept the bonding switch made against the royal recue
06:07kale claimed the king approved the swap but they definitely did not tell the king that bella was an
06:12illegitimate bastard with the royal bloodline's honor and stake his majesty would be furious
06:19my father's eyes narrowed he pulled his hand back
06:22it seems alara already has someone in mind i didn't bother softening it is there a lone wolf in
06:28the scholar's hall called ash mercer i want him my father's face went dark immediately out of the
06:34question the blackwood pack's legitimate daughter letting some penniless rogue caught her even if he
06:39can read a few words he will never set foot in this pack house i raised an eyebrow didn't father
06:45just say i could choose now you change your mind the moment you look at his background or maybe having
06:50one crown lunar isn't enough maybe father still wants to trade me for more power and perhaps even
06:56i covered my mouth fast put on a shocked look my father glanced around at the guests and rebuked me
07:02enough i watched him pace and found it laughable in his eyes i was probably nothing like the obedient
07:08daughter he used to know fine since you want to bond then let it be as you say he turned
07:12to leave
07:12i called after one more thing my bonding gifts must be double what bella received a legitimate daughter
07:19versus a bastard is that too much he gritted his teeth granted i also want a separation document
07:26between you and mother if you won't give it i'll bring mother before his majesty and let the king
07:31decide ungrateful child but i knew he had agreed in my past life and i must protect the only ever
07:37cared about his face even if they cannot see it i sent riders to find ash mercer immediately i have
07:42a task told him to come in three days with i want you to find someone his reply the lady
07:46alara every
07:47word shaking with nervous sincerity to be favored by the pack princess is ashes great fortune i will
07:54prepare a hundred mile procession and see you bonded in splendor i laughed softly what i didn't expect
08:00before ash mercer even arrived kale came back to the pack house with bella a few days later i was
08:07drinking tea with my mother in the main hall you see the lichen prince and his luna and still you
08:13do
08:13not bow are you waiting to be punished before i could respond his attendant sees both of us
08:30has the lion king's register recorded bella's name if not and you're already calling her crown luna
08:37you're flouting his majesty's own decree why would i bow to a lion prince who ignores pack law and deceives
08:45his king my lord everyone knows sister has deep feelings for you
08:53acting out of emotion is only natural please don't harm your health
09:01sister all of this is my fault i couldn't control my feelings but i never meant to hurt you
09:09you have everything the finest wolves in the territory would line up for you i've had nothing
09:15from the beginning even seeing our father once was nearly impossible i only reached for this one small
09:22warmth so knowing full well the royal decree couldn't be refused you secretly arranged your bonding behind
09:28the king's back risked the entire blackwood pack on the day of the ceremony all for your uncontrollable
09:52feelings
09:53kail stared at the blood at my mouth
09:57i am the lichen prince the future lichen king whatever luna i chooses to seat
10:04i will seat how many lives do you have to spend on defiance
10:12shameless creature
10:14elara doesn't lower herself to argue with you
10:16what does it matter that you clawed your way onto a high branch
10:20a sparrow can't become a true wolf no matter how high she flies
10:30you're looking to die
10:32stop
10:33is this how the future lichen king treats pack members
10:36taking lives without cause you can't even be sure you'll hold the alpha throne
10:41his majesty is still strong and healthy
10:44coveting your father's seat this openly
10:47are you planning a coup
11:03he had someone bandage my hand
11:06bella watched the whole thing
11:07jealousy surged across her face
11:10she collapsed against kale with tears in her eyes
11:14it's all my fault
11:15please cast me out and give sister the luna seat back
11:21what kind of nonsense is that
11:24you are the only one i will ever claim as my mate
11:30since they've made you this miserable
11:32shall i have them thrown into the punishment den and flayed alive
11:37too easy your anger
11:40i stared at him and the memories flooded back
11:42last time i was near the end of my labor
11:45when he brought bella to parade in front of my bedside
11:48to vent bella's anger
11:49he had my mother bound and sent to the warrior camp
11:52where she became a slave for any wolf to use as they pleased
11:59when i finally saw my mother again
12:01she was already a broken corpse
12:03every bone shattered
12:05i died
12:06consumed by rage
12:08i couldn't even kill him with my own hand
12:11being reborn
12:12i swore to myself
12:13i would never let my mother be harmed again
12:15not even a fraction
12:17bella was still crying beside us
12:20how could that be
12:22the lady is the mistress of this house
12:24who am i to give her orders
12:28you are now the crown luna
12:30you deserve this position
12:32this one who has already taken a separation is of no account
12:35kail ignored her
12:36and commanded his attendants to seize my mother
12:44kail
12:45wrongdoing should not extend to family
12:47if you have a quarrel bring it to me
12:53you think i dare not
12:55i'll grant your wish right now
13:08want to save your mother
13:10kneel and slap yourself an apology to bella
13:14i'll release her when she says she's satisfied
13:26i'll kneel
13:28let go of my mother
13:37the slap and the apology
13:39elia won short
13:41and your mother loses a finger
13:57i stared at my mother
13:58collapsed unconscious on the floor
14:00my tears were already gone
14:02i couldn't even curse
14:03all i could do was keep striking my face to bloody red
14:07biting my lip until it broke
14:10i beg the crown luna's forgiveness
14:13i was blind and without sense
14:16bella watched me in silence
14:18oh my lord have them stop
14:20the sister's forehead is bleeding
14:23has my bella's anger eased yet
14:25the triumph barely contained on her face
14:28let sister rise
14:29after all i still want sister to come into the stronghold and take care of me
14:33kail laughed
14:34fine
14:36having shared blood as your personal attendant will mean better care
14:40i know you have yearned for me and couldn't have me
14:43now i give you the chance to see me every day
14:45you should be thanking bella for her generous heart
14:48who would bond with someone selfish
14:51and with very little time left to live
14:54his face transformed instantly
14:58he raised his blade to run me through
15:00bold words
15:02let me see just how hard your spine really is
15:05from the entrance came one announcement
15:07the royal decree arrives
15:09kail froze
15:11released me
15:12knelt with everyone else
15:13his face still venomous
15:15my heart dropped back into my chest
15:17i clung to the last thread of strength
15:19and knelt
15:20elder haize walked in
15:21the lichen king's most trusted attendant
15:24by the will of his majesty the lion king
15:26summon kail elera and bella to the royal stronghold at once
15:30kail had no idea what this meant
15:32he looked at elder haize without respect
15:34is that all
15:35did his majesty say nothing else
15:37or did you bungle the king's message
15:40shall i have your head removed
15:42elder haize gave him a sideways glance
15:44lion prince
15:45this servant dares not guess at his majesty's intent
15:49all will be known once you enter the stronghold
15:52maybe the king wants to grant us the bonding in person
15:55he summons sister too
15:58his majesty is thorough
16:00he won't let us be wronged
16:02kail's brow eased slightly
16:03he glanced back at me with contempt
16:07are you not going to go change into something presentable
16:10appearing before the king covered in blood is a disgrace
16:13i pressed my wounded palm and started to turn away
16:16elder haize spoke up
16:18his majesty's intent is immediate departure
16:22if we are late are you prepared to answer for it
16:25i slipped a silver coin into elder haize's palm
16:28coaxed a warm smile from him
16:32this servant thanks the young lady
16:34i tidied my hair as best i could
16:37kail boarded a separate one behind us
16:40i was still departing together with him after all
16:45how unlucky
16:46the carriage moved down the long avenue
16:48my palms still seeped blood soaking through my sleeve
16:51i thought about what elder haize just did for me
16:54and i began to understand what i needed to do
16:57in my past life elder haize was the liking king's most capable attendant
17:02after kail took the throne
17:04all because he dared to counsel openly
17:07kail had his tongue cut out in front of the whole court
17:10then beaten to death blow by blow
17:13by that time i was already a wandering primal spirit
17:18i watched him bleed out on the stones
17:21the sorrow i felt had no words
17:22i wrapped my wound with a clean cloth from my sleeve
17:26called out through the curtain quietly
17:28elder haize
17:30what does the young lady require
17:31you have served at his majesty's side for many years
17:35what do you know to be the one thing most forbidden within these walls
17:38a servant who waits on others
17:40who am i to speak freely of the stronghold's rules
17:43is the young lady testing me
17:46you are a clever wolf and you should not remain buried
17:49i have only one question
17:51if someone sought to overturn the order of this stronghold one day
17:55would you go with the current
17:56or hold to your own conscience
17:59after a moment he dropped his voice lower
18:02this servant has known only one master in this life
18:05the one seated upon the alpha throne
18:07should anyone harbor thoughts toward what is not theirs to have
18:11this servant will be the first to refuse them
18:14i understood completely
18:17with those words from you i am at ease
18:20elder haize said nothing more
18:21just gave me one long meaningful look
18:26move along
18:27do not keep his majesty waiting
18:30the carriage is halted before the stronghold gate
18:33elder haize led us through the long passage toward the lichen king's hall
18:37the whole way there
18:38bella pressed close to kale
18:39kept flicking glances at me with a smirk she couldn't hide
18:44kale strode like someone who had already won
18:46i laughed coldly inside
18:48laugh while you still can
18:50in the hall i knelt before the throne and paid my respects properly
18:53the hall is subject alora blackwood greets his majesty
18:57may his majesty have ten thousand years of rain
19:01your son greets his royal father
19:03may his majesty be well
19:05the lichen prince is actually willing to call me royal father
19:10what an enormous honor
19:12the entire hall went dead silent
19:15every person dropped to their knees
19:18your son would never dare
19:21we beg his majesty to see clearly
19:23the lichen king descended from the high seat
19:25face dark as a storm
19:27eyes bearing down on kale like a death sentence
19:29you dare to issue false royal decrees in my name now
19:33what is there left that you cannot do
19:35kale and bella both went completely still
19:39kale's mind went blank for a second
19:40his gaze snapped to me
19:42your majesty your son would never dare commit this crime
19:45it was her
19:46she withdrew from the bonding first
19:49deliberately pulled bella forward to take the blame
19:51your son didn't want to shame the royal name
19:54that's why it came to this
19:56your majesty i knows nothing
19:59i truly don't understand why sister would frame us like this
20:02alara has been willful since childhood
20:05abusing her status as the legitimate daughter
20:08your son could not bring himself to bond with someone of that character
20:12if there is any fault it rests entirely with your son
20:15it has nothing to do with bella listening to him twist everything
20:31i felt nothing in my past life he did the same
20:35turned and spoke without flinching
20:37your majesty the one who ordered the bonding
20:39carriage swapped was someone from the lichen prince's own side
20:42she bribed the blackwood pack steward
20:45had the ceremony attendant conceal everything
20:48stripped away every gift my mother prepared
20:51worked with the lichen prince to force the bonding through as a done deal
20:56i did not
20:57your majesty your son swears on his life
21:01bella is kind-hearted by nature
21:03she could never do something like this
21:12by your account every single one of them has grown bold enough to deceive me to my face
21:18the complaint spread across the floor dense text covering the entire document
21:22kale picked it up with shaking hands
21:24after only a few lines his face turned a sickly mix of white and green
21:28i watched his fingers tremble sweat breaking out on his brow
21:32bella crumpled to the ground so shaken she forgot how to cry
21:37i was deeply satisfied inside but i showed nothing
21:40just kept my gaze down on those ink red words on the floor
21:43that was the pack steward's signed confession from the pack justice hall
21:46every detail
21:47how he received bella's payment
21:49how he bribed the ceremony attendant
21:53how the carriage was swapped
21:54the moment i was reborn
21:56i had him seized and delivered to the pack justice hall overnight
22:00under hard interrogation
22:02what little backbone he had turned to dust
22:05my father had plenty of enemies in court
22:07finding wolves willing to file the petition wasn't difficult
22:11but this wasn't even the most damning piece
22:13the truly fatal surprise i had hidden inside the petition
22:16was a set of healing records from the pack healer's archive
22:18documenting how the high consort before she ever carried a child
22:22had suffered an injury that left her permanently unable to conceive
22:26his majesty had already verified those records
22:29there was no other explanation for the wave of murderous intent in his eyes
22:33cale was still fighting
22:34crawling on his knees
22:36pressing his brow into the cold stone floor
22:39your majesty this must be fabricated
22:42the pack steward was bought to drive a wedge between father and son
22:47he raised his head showing blood from the kneeling
22:49your majesty your son was raised by your hand
22:53named lion prince by your decree
22:56has your son ever shown one moment of disloyalty
22:59the lycan king narrowed his eyes but said nothing
23:02cale took that as an opening
23:04it must be alara
23:07she acts out of scorned bitterness
23:09she's been plotting to destroy me from the beginning
23:13i watched them coldly and finally spoke
23:16the lycan prince keeps saying i act out of scorned bitterness
23:19i dare to ask the lyman prince one question
23:22on the day of our bonding ceremony
23:24why did you take bella and fled the territory in secret
23:27cale's face went rigid
23:29your carriage that day was stocked with three months of rations and travel funds
23:34and border crossing papers
23:36if his majesty truly approved
23:38why would you not arrive with a full procession to claim your mate properly
23:41why flee in that frantic furtive way
23:43he opened and closed his mouth
23:44you are making wild accusations
23:47this lycan prince has never fled anywhere
23:49i gave a faint smile and drew a letter from my sleeve
23:52please allow his majesty to review this
23:54it is correspondence between the lycan prince and bella
23:57it details how to swap the carriage
23:59how to proceed without permission
24:01how to use the deed already done
24:03to force his majesty's hand
24:05the lycan prince's private seal appears at the close
24:08elder hayes received the letter
24:10and placed it before the royal seat
24:12every trace of color drained from cale's face
24:15in my past life
24:16i stumbled upon this letter in cale's hidden compartment
24:19in my final dying moments
24:21i was powerless then
24:23could only watch as he burned it to ash
24:25this life i moved before him
24:28on the second day after i was reborn
24:30i had a copy made of that key
24:32that letter was now resting quietly
24:35on the lycan king's hand
24:36the lycan king unfolded the paper
24:38and scanned it in one sweep
24:40then he laughed
24:41cold as something seeping up from the ground
24:44every spine in the room went rigid
24:48very good
24:49very good indeed
24:51he folded the letter slowly
24:53and handed it to elder hayes
24:56a son i raised for 20 years
24:58and in the end he is another wolf's blood entirely
25:01cale's whole body jolted
25:02he stared in stunned disbelief
25:04your majesty
25:07what are you saying
25:09raised his hand toward elder hayes
25:10bring that out
25:11let him see
25:15his gaze traveled between the king and my face
25:19finally fixed on me
25:20his eyes churning with disbelief and hatred
25:23alara
25:23what have you done
25:25i did not answer
25:27elder hayes returned
25:28carrying a gilded wooden case
25:30inside were yellowed medical records
25:32and a sealed blood kin test report
25:3423 years ago
25:35the high consort bitter over my neglect
25:38gave in to her resentment
25:39while confined to the exile wing
25:41she took a guard as her secret lover
25:43and conceived an illegitimate pup
25:45because her body had been damaged
25:47a miscarriage would have destroyed
25:48her last chance at motherhood
25:49so she kept the pup hidden
25:51and gave birth in secret
25:53that illegitimate pup is you
25:57kale
25:58kale knelt on the floor
25:59no
26:01impossible
26:02i am the lichen prince
26:04i am the first born legitimate heir
26:06how could i possibly be
26:07your majesty
26:08there must be an error
26:12how could the lion prince not be
26:14how could he possibly be
26:15the lichen king did not look at her at all
26:18guards
26:19guards
26:20remove his lylan prince's robes
26:23he is stripped of all rank
26:24exiled to the borderlands
26:26never permitted to return
26:28since you have been so devoted to him
26:30through all of this
26:30i will grant your wish
26:31you are to accompany him for the rest of your days
26:35no separation shall ever be permitted
26:39she opened her mouth to say something
26:41then realized kale was looking at her
26:43those eyes cold as a vipers
26:45her whole body shuddered
26:47it was all you
26:48if you hadn't pushed me to it
26:50if it weren't for you
26:52what are you saying
26:53it was you who
26:54you ruined me
26:56if not for you
26:57this rotten she-wolf
26:59i would never have come to this
27:01i should have been the king
27:02i should have been
27:03bella clutched her throat
27:05kale was restrained and still
27:07but either of them again
27:09raised his hand
27:10and signaled the guards
27:11to drag them away
27:12then kale wrenched free of the guards
27:15and lunged straight at me
27:17elara
27:17i am going to kill you
27:19his hands hadn't even grazed my clothes
27:21before guards pinned him to the ground
27:23he struggled to raise his head
27:24you will definitely regret this
27:26that once handsome face
27:28now a mask of savagery
27:30you will definitely regret this
27:32i looked at him
27:33and inside
27:34i was oddly calm
27:35my palms still throbbed
27:36he had stabbed it with a blade
27:37not long ago
27:38my abdomen still ached
27:39he had driven his boot into it
27:41not long ago
27:41but in my heart
27:42there was only the lightness
27:43of a burden finally lifted
27:44he could never hurt me again
27:46kale was dragged away
27:47bella was escorted out after him
27:49her echoed down the long passage
27:52and resolved into the stronghold walls
27:54the hall held only me
27:55the lichen king
27:56and a handful of attendants
27:58he stood with his back to me
27:59that imperial gold figure
28:01casting a long shadow
28:02across the stone floor
28:03after a silence
28:05he finally spoke
28:06elara
28:08i knelt respectfully
28:10this subject is here
28:12he turned to face me
28:13studied me for a long moment
28:16you are a clever child
28:17this subject would not dare
28:21this subject only could not bear
28:23to watch someone deceive his majesty
28:26nor bear to see someone taint the royal bloodline with a false air
28:30the lichen king's eyes deepened
28:32his voice carried a thread of exhaustion
28:33that was almost imperceptible
28:35i was deceived
28:37for 23 years
28:39looked in that moment like nothing more than an old wolf
28:42who had been lied to for half his days
28:44i did not speak
28:45some things were not mine to say
28:47after a long while
28:49take her to the side chamber to rest
28:51have the healer come for her wounds
28:54he glanced at me once more
28:57i still have one matter to attend to
28:59you should be present
29:00i knew exactly what that matter was
29:02elder hayes led me out through a covered walkway
29:05and into the side chamber
29:06simple and elegant
29:07a light drift of alpha musk incense
29:10curling from the burner
29:11young lady please wait here
29:13this servant will fetch the healer
29:14elder hayes
29:18thank you for speaking up just now
29:20otherwise i might not have even had a chance to tidy myself
29:23before appearing before the king
29:26drouched in blood
29:27he deflected twice
29:28but in the end accepted it
29:30young lady is too kind
29:33this servant only followed the proper rules
29:35it amounted to nothing
29:36he hesitated
29:37then stepped closer
29:38does the young lady know who else his majesty summoned today
29:41the answer had already taken shape in my mind
29:45the young lady is of great buffing
29:47those with great blessing naturally meet with great fortune
29:51i sat alone while servants cleaned my wounds and applied medicine
29:55it nearly severed a tendon
29:57it would likely leave a scar
30:01no matter let it scar
30:02this scar would be the most precious mark of this life
30:06a reminder of the abyss i survived
30:09a reminder that i would never let anyone wound me like that again
30:13a reminder of the abyss
