Short filmTranscript
00:13On the day of my coming-of-age ceremony, Blood Prince Saron summoned me onto the High Platform in front
00:17of the entire Silvermoon Blood Clan.
00:19Eve Abel, today is your coming-of-age day. As per the agreement I made with your father, you may
00:23choose one of my two sons to form an Eternal Blood Plath with.
00:26Whoever you choose will become the next Prince.
00:28This was Saron's test for his two sons. Whoever completed the Eternal Blood first would inherit the throne.
00:35Attendants presented two gold-framed portraits. I didn't hesitate for a second.
00:39My gaze landed directly on the portrait, radiating that cold, sharp aura.
00:43I choose him. Cast Nightshake.
00:46Instantly, the entire hall froze as if encased in ice.
00:49The entire hall froze as if encased in ice.
00:52Then, an enormous uproar erupted.
00:54In my previous life, I formed the Eternal Blood Pot with Cain.
01:16My mother, Furious, sent Lena to the Shadowblood Clan to marry their Vicelord.
01:22Cain blamed everything on me.
01:25He paraded around in front of me with a group of female vampires who all had the same icy blue
01:30eyes as Lina.
01:32When he discovered I was carrying his offspring, he deliberately made me watch him entwile with those women.
01:37It was pure torture.
01:39On the day I gave birth, he locked me in the dungeon and forbid anyone from approaching.
01:43My child was crushed to death, and I died filled with endless hatred.
01:46Perhaps the Goddess of Night took pity on me.
01:48She gave me another chance.
01:50This time, I willingly left Cain to Lena.
01:55And you?
01:56Standing there like a spoiled little princess?
01:58No sense of responsibility at all.
02:00I had just walked out of the council hall and was crossing the training crowns when I saw him.
02:04Cain, sparring, surrounded by a crowd of vampires.
02:07A flash of silver.
02:09His curved blade slipped from his hand and clittered sharply to the ground,
02:13landing three feet in front of my boots.
02:15Silver was the bane of Bloodclen members,
02:17especially devastating to purebloods or high-ranking vampires.
02:20He didn't even lift his eyelids.
02:22He simply barked.
02:23Pick it up.
02:24The surrounding vampires froze.
02:26All eyes turned to me, waiting for a good show.
02:28I knew this game.
02:29In my previous life, he treated me like his personal sling.
02:32I didn't move.
02:33I simply ground my heel into the gravel and said calmly,
02:36You dropped it.
02:37Pick it up yourself.
02:38The training ground fell into deathly silence.
02:41Even the wind stopped.
02:43What did you just say?
02:45Someone let out a low whistle.
02:47Damn, Eve.
02:48New strategy?
02:49Weren't you glued to him just a few days ago?
02:51Now you're playing queen?
02:53You used to be his little lapdog, always clinging to him.
02:56You think your dead pad would be proud of this?
02:58Before I could respond, a light set of footsteps broke the tension.
03:02Lena linked in, her long leather skirt trailing along the ground,
03:05the hem soaked with blood.
03:07She crouched down, biting her lip,
03:08her hand trembling as she picked up the curved blade.
03:11Cold sweat beaded on her skin.
03:12I told you to rest.
03:14Who let you come out?
03:15He turned to me, eyes burning with rage.
03:18Look at Lena.
03:19She's injured and still willing to help me.
03:20And you?
03:21Standing there like a spoiled little princess?
03:24No sense of responsibility at all.
03:26Same old tricks.
03:33You just came from the prince's office, right?
03:35What now?
03:36Playing the pity card again?
03:38Telling the story about how your dad blocked a silver dagger for him?
03:41Begging to be my mate?
03:42You're truly pathetic, Eve.
03:45Always using moral blackmail.
03:47Always scheming.
03:48You've tried every trick just to tie me down.
03:50I clenched my sleeves.
03:51My voice calm.
03:53I didn't say a single word.
03:54The prince summoned me himself.
03:56He wanted to personally host my coming of age ceremony.
03:59The air felt like it had been whipped.
04:02The prince is personally hosting her coming of age ceremony?
04:05Blood clan members swarmed toward Cain.
04:07Cain, congratulations.
04:09The prince hosting the ceremony himself means you're taking over.
04:12When you become prince, don't forget us.
04:14Cain lifted his chin.
04:16His anger mixed with hidden delight.
04:18Then his gaze returned to me.
04:19But let's be clear.
04:20Even if we do form the blood post, stay out of my business with Lina.
04:24Know your place.
04:26Otherwise...
04:27He paused, his eyes darkening.
04:31I won't be your mate.
04:33He scooped Lina up and left without looking back.
04:36The whispers started immediately, followed by mocking laughter.
04:44I watched their retreating figures and let out a soft laugh.
04:50Anyway, I never planned to form a pact with you.
05:01Ripped off their masks and demanded why they were humiliating me on my own ceremony day.
05:06On the day of the coming of age ceremony, Cain arrived late, with Lina still clinging to him.
05:11Her lips were swollen, and his collarbone was covered in fresh red scratch marks.
05:15The surrounding vampires exchanged knowing, sleazy smiles.
05:19It was obvious what they had been doing in the shadows.
05:21In my previous life, I would have rushed over, ripped off their masks,
05:25and demanded why they were humiliating me on my own ceremony day.
05:28Now, I glanced at them, then looked away as if they were nothing but dirt on my boot.
05:33Cain caught that glance.
05:34He suddenly pulled Lina behind him.
05:36When he saw I had no reaction, he grew uneasy.
05:40What's wrong, Eve?
05:41Afraid I won't be your mate?
05:43So now you're playing the saint?
05:44Don't be stupid.
05:46How about this?
05:47He leaned in, lowering his voice, his gaze roaming over my body.
05:50After the ceremony, come find me behind the castle, at the blood spring.
05:54Don't wear anything.
05:54If your body is decent enough, maybe I'll let you into my bed.
05:57Lina pouted and tugged his sleeve.
05:59Cain, how can you say that?
06:00Isn't my body better than her?
06:01Cain grinned, pinching her cheek.
06:04Of course yours is better.
06:06A thousand times better.
06:07That blood spring?
06:09It's for you.
06:10Lina's eyes lit up.
06:12She gave me a triumphant glance.
06:14The surrounding vampires burst into loud laughter.
06:17Whistles and vulgar jokes flew around like knives.
06:29You can't pretend to be something you're not.
06:31I yanked my hand back.
06:36That sound flipped a switch.
06:39Memories from my previous life flooded back.
06:48He had done this before, humiliating me in front of the entire blood clan, treating me like a chew toy.
06:58I used to shake with rage.
07:00He would just laugh and said my shame excited him.
07:03Cain shut her down, claiming I was just a bloodlust chaser begging for his scraps.
07:07I turned to leave.
07:09His hand suddenly clamped around my wrist.
07:11Still pretending.
07:13He tightened his grip, the force digging into my bones.
07:21A vampire like you can't pretend to be something you're not.
07:25I yanked my hand back, knuckles white.
07:28Watch your mouth.
07:29Oh?
07:30You expect me to respect you?
07:32We're destined to be blood-packed mates.
07:34Do you really still need that?
07:41Who said I'm forming a blood pact with you?
07:48Silence sliced through the air like a blade.
07:52Who I choose is none of your business.
07:56Then the laughter.
07:58Loud, ugly, everywhere.
08:00Cain laughed the hardest.
08:03Not forming a pact with me?
08:04Then with who?
08:06Everyone knows you'd die for me.
08:07What?
08:08Cass?
08:09Cass has been rotting in the dark ancient forest for years.
08:13They say he's gone feral.
08:15He skinned a shadowblade challenger alive and left the corpse hanging.
08:26You want to form a pact with him?
08:28You trying to die early?
08:32What, cat got your tongue?
08:34Weren't you acting so tough earlier?
08:36Or are you finally scared?
08:39Lena slicked over, her voice sickeningly sweet.
08:43Eve probably remembered those stories about Cass.
08:46She elegantly tugged Cain's sleeve, but her eyes stayed glued to me.
08:50If she really forms a pact with him, she might not even have bones left.
08:54Laughter rippled through the crowd.
08:56A few young vampires whistled at the perfect moments.
08:59In my previous life, I might have lunged at Lena and ripped her hair out.
09:04But this time, it was different.
09:10Who I choose is none of your business.
09:19You're this jealous?
09:23Eve, don't be like this.
09:24She said softly, eyes watery.
09:27I was just worried about you.
09:29You did block a hunter's silver dagger for Cain, remember?
09:36I turned to leave.
09:38First came her gasp.
09:39Then her wineglass slipped, just as it fell.
09:42She suddenly leaned against me.
09:44The next thing I knew, she staggered backward as if I had pushed her.
09:48Then dramatically fell to the ground with a thud.
09:51Lina's wail cut through the air, tears streaming down her cheeks.
09:54Even if you hate me, you can't push me.
09:56My leg, it hurts so much.
09:58Cain's face darkened.
10:00He stepped in front of her like a shield, fury surging.
10:05Seriously?
10:08You're this jealous?
10:12He lifted her as if she were the moon, eyes full of pain.
10:15She's your sister!
10:17Lina was only my cousin, but after she moved in, everyone treated her like a full sister.
10:23Behind his shoulder, Lina peeked out, smirking.
10:26I couldn't help but laugh.
10:32I didn't touch her at all.
10:41Cain's rage exploded.
10:43He raised his hand and slapped me hard across the face.
10:47Still lying?
10:51The entire blood clan knows you're jealous of Lina.
10:54If you hadn't clung to me so desperately, I never would have noticed you.
10:58Lina tugged his arm, her voice trembling.
11:01Cain, don't.
11:02Eve is probably just upset.
11:04She always thought you'd choose her.
11:06Soft words, sharper than claws.
11:08Just like before.
11:09Saying I was forcing the blood pact, hiding behind my father's reputation.
11:12Saying I couldn't even tolerate my own sister.
11:14These rumors stuck like spit from jealous female vampires.
11:18Dirty and hard to wash off.
11:20Cain's rage exploded.
11:22He raised his hand and slapped me hard across the face.
11:33You'd better behave.
11:35Touch Lina again.
11:36And I'll personally expel you from the Silvermoon blood clan.
11:39The stinging pain on my cheek spread like fire.
11:42I wanted to hit back.
11:44But from the corner of my eye, I saw the guests moving around the venue.
11:48This was my coming of age ceremony.
11:51Lina had pained Cain.
11:53That smirk still on her lips.
11:56She leaned into his arms as if they had rehearsed it.
12:05If anything happens to Lina, you'll regret it.
12:09Cain's hand hovered in the air.
12:10Perhaps he realized he had gone too far.
12:13His throat bobbed as if words were stuck.
12:15But Leta stood on her tiptoes and whimpered.
12:17Cain, my leg hurts so much.
12:19What if I can never walk again?
12:20Her fingers wrapped around his wrist, pulling his full attention away.
12:24The whispers surged like waves.
12:26Their gazes pierced my skin like poisoned needles.
12:30No manners.
12:31Bullying her own sister over a blood-packed mate?
12:35As if she even had a chance.
12:37Cain would never choose her.
12:39Apologize to Lina!
12:41You think just because your dad blocked a silver arrow for him,
12:44you can lash on to our next prince?
12:49I remembered everything.
12:52Risking my life for Cain.
12:54Training like a madman just to scare away anyone who looked at him.
12:58I thought being ruthless was love.
13:02Now it just felt pathetic.
13:04Cain glared at me with disgust.
13:06What are you still standing here for?
13:09If anything happens to Lina, you'll regret it.
13:11His lackeys laid loudly and eagerly joined in the jury.
13:26Everyone knew what kind of person Cass was.
13:31The prince is about to announce our blood pact.
13:33Be smart.
13:35Know your place.
13:36Then he lowered his voice with his usual smugness.
13:38Once the marking is done, I'll give you the status you deserve.
13:41Don't ruin things between me and Lina.
13:43I stared at him.
13:45Locking onto those eyes.
13:48A horn sounded, long and hollow.
13:51The vicelord strode in.
13:55Miss Abel.
13:56It's time.
13:58His cloudy eyes landed on the bruise on my cheek.
14:00Flashing a hint of pity.
14:02Behind him, a black figure slowly emerged.
14:04Hood pulled low.
14:06Jaw sharp as a blade.
14:07A long silver patterned sword strapped to his back.
14:09A blood rose pendant swaying gently.
14:12Cass Nightshade.
14:14Saron's eldest son, freshly returned from the dark ancient forest.
14:17The dark ancient forest wasn't just a place of exile.
14:20It was a graveyard that had swallowed countless powerful blood clan members.
14:23He had personally ripped out the heart of a Shadowblade challenger and hung it at the forest entrance as a
14:27warning.
14:28Blood still dripping, shaking the entire north.
14:30Silence hit like a punch.
14:31A few young vampires nearly dropped what they were holding.
14:33Someone knocked over a wine bowl, clattering loudly.
14:36The liquid splashing onto torches with a hiss.
14:38Even the vicelord twitched slightly.
14:40Everyone knew what kind of person Cass was.
14:43He still carried a strong scent of blood.
14:45And his icy gaze seemed capable of freezing the air itself.
14:54It's nothing.
14:56Cass stopped right in front of me.
15:04What happened to your face?
15:05His voice was sharp and serious as a cut.
15:07His icy gaze pierced straight through me.
15:09I met those deep blue eyes and then I saw it.
15:12That memory.
15:13Him covered in blood, bursting into the dungeon, holding my cold wolf as if it would kill him.
15:18He went mad for me.
15:25It's nothing.
15:26I forced a smile, trying to hide the bruise.
15:29Cain scoffed and stepped between us.
15:31Cass, I'll handle Eve's matters.
15:33No need for you to worry.
15:35He struck a pose.
15:36She's about to become my mate.
15:38I've got this.
15:39The vicelord frowned, about to speak.
15:41But one look from Cass silenced him.
15:44Cass removed his hood.
15:45Sharp, chiseled features.
15:47An even more cutting expression.
15:50Father sent me.
15:51He said the able girl's coming of age is a major event for the blood clot.
15:56Let's go.
15:58I walked past Cain with steady steps.
16:01Cain looked smug as if he could already see the prince's crest hanging around his own neck.
16:06Whoever she chooses will be the next prince.
16:09As soon as the blood clad filled the hall, Saron descended from the platform,
16:14Grisping the scepter carved with blood roses.
16:17His silver hair gleamed under the lights.
16:19He had lived for countless ages.
16:22Yet standing there, he still looked like a legend.
16:28He took my hand, smiling.
16:31A big day indeed.
16:34He said, his voice carrying across the hall.
16:39Eve has come of age.
16:41As I promised her father, she will choose one of my sons to form an eternal blood pot with.
16:48Whoever she chooses will be the next prince.
16:54Gasps rippled through the hall.
16:58All eyes turned to Cain.
17:00Some filled with jealousy.
17:03Yes.
17:04They all remembered how obsessed I had once been with him.
17:10Now.
17:15Let the Chosen One step forward.
17:19I will witness it personally.
17:21Cain straightened his back, chin high, already strutting halfway toward victory,
17:27until Saron raised a hand.
17:29Then Saron turned, his gaze softening as it landed on the corner.
17:35Cass.
17:36I chose Cass.
17:38He is now my blood-packed mate.
17:41He had changed into ceremonial a choir.
17:43Hair neatly tied back, every angle of his face sharp enough to cut.
17:46In his hands was a bouquet of night star flowers,
17:48still carrying the faint glow of the dark ancient forest.
17:51He walked forward with his usual steady composure and stopped in front of me.
17:54Are you ready, Eve?
17:55His voice was low, certain.
17:57The moment Cass spoke, the hall buzzed like a kicked beehive.
18:01Why him?
18:02Vampires leaned in, whispering rapidly.
18:04Didn't Eve love Cain enough to die for him?
18:06Why Cass?
18:07Did they get this wrong?
18:09Cain's face darkened.
18:10He rushed forward, panic in his voice.
18:13Father, there must be a mistake!
18:14Saron gave him a look colder than midwinter.
18:19I may have lived a long time, but I am not senile.
18:24Do you think I would joke about the future of the Silvermoon BloodClan?
18:28The Vice Lord stepped forward, holding a scroll.
18:31The Prince's decision is final.
18:33Eve has chosen Cass as her eternal blood-packed mate.
18:37Cain interrupted desperately, his voice cracking.
18:40No!
18:41This is wrong!
18:42There's a problem!
18:43He turned to me, face full of desperation.
18:46Eve, tell them.
18:48You chose me.
18:51Father just made a mistake, right?
18:54I smiled faintly, firm and sharp.
18:58I chose Cass.
19:00He is now my blood-packed mate.
19:02The only one.
19:04Cass's hand holding the Nightstar flowers tightened slightly.
19:07When our eyes met, something flashed in his gaze.
19:10Surprise.
19:11Raw and real.
19:14A gift from the Prince, Miss Abel.
19:17May your blood-pack strengthen our clan.
19:20Cain lunged forward and grabbed my wrist hard enough to bruise.
19:24Liar!
19:25You love me!
19:27Everyone knows you'd die for me!
19:29How could you choose this savage?
19:32Father forced you, didn't he?
19:34The Vice Lord pushed between us and yanked Cain's hand away.
19:37He turned to the gathering vampires.
19:40What are you waiting for?
19:41Get him out!
19:43Unless you want to fight him too!
19:45They immediately moved,
19:47dragging the kicking and screaming Cain away as he roared.
19:51Eve!
19:52Say something!
19:53Tell them it's a mistake!
19:55You chose me!
20:00Saron waved his hand.
20:03The guards slammed the heavy doors shut with a deep, resounding thut.
20:08Silence slapped the air.
20:10The Vice Lord handed me a carved wooden box imboided with the Silver Moon Blood Clan totem.
20:17A gift from the Prince, Miss Abel.
20:19May your blood-pack strengthen our clan.
20:25I looked down at it.
20:27Something flickered in my chest.
20:30Inside was the Prince's crest, passed down for generations.
20:36The very thing Cain had chased his entire previous life.
20:41That voice deep inside had never stopped.
20:44Choosing him was right.
20:47At the banquet, torchlight danced on the stone walls.
20:52I scanned the crowd.
20:55No sign of Cain.
21:01I turned, wine glass in hand, and collided solidly with a firm chest.
21:09The sharp scent of cedar and blood hit me.
21:14My eyes sting.
21:18When Cain locked me in the dungeon,
21:22it was Cass who kicked the door open and carried me out.
21:29I was barely breathing.
21:32He was covered in wounds himself,
21:34snaring at the approaching vampires.
21:39Touch her again,
21:41and I'll skin you all alive
21:43and bury you with her.
21:47After I died,
21:48he turned dungeon into a sea of blood,
21:51exposing every filthy thing Cain had done to Saron.
21:55I was already gone.
21:57Just a soul watching him fight the entire blood clan for me.
22:02That was when I understood.
22:04This ruthless vampire had always put me first.
22:09Ever since I returned,
22:11that voice deep inside had never stopped.
22:14Choosing him was right.
22:17At the start of the banquet,
22:19Saron moated for Cass to sit at his right hand.
22:21Every vampire in the hall froze.
22:24That seat meant one thing.
22:26Cass was the next prince.
22:28He sat down without hesitation,
22:30as if it had always been his place.
22:33Whispers erupted among the crowd.
22:35No one had expected this.
22:37They all thought I was still entangled with Cain?
22:39And Cass?
22:40The lone wolf who once smashed a wine jug
22:42and roared that he would never stop for any female vampire?
22:45How could he agree to form a blood pot with me?
22:48In the midst of the commotion,
22:49Cain staggled through the crowd,
22:51drunk and pitiful.
22:52He slurred loudly and chaotically.
22:56Father!
22:57You can't improve their blood pot!
23:02Saron eyed him,
23:04drunk, swaying, reeking of alcohol,
23:07and said sternly,
23:09Get him out.
23:12If he can still stand,
23:14let him crawl back to his quarters.
23:16Stop embarrassing himself here.
23:17Cain grabbed the table,
23:20refusing to leave.
23:24Eve and I grew up together.
23:26We know each other!
23:29You can't tear us apart!
23:32Saron turned his gaze to me.
23:35Oh?
23:37Childhood sweethearts?
23:40Interesting.
23:41I remember it differently.
23:44Eve,
23:45explain it yourself.
23:47You think you can touch her?
23:52I smiled faintly,
23:54my voice calm.
23:55Prince,
23:56I don't understand why Cain is saying this.
23:59I've always seen him as a brother.
24:01He's the one chasing Lena,
24:04not me.
24:07Cain's face twisted.
24:11His eyes widened.
24:13Eve!
24:14I love you!
24:16I've always loved you!
24:21Cain suddenly grinned,
24:23strangely.
24:25I get it.
24:27You're jealous.
24:29Still mad I gave Lena that Arctic fox fur, right?
24:33Using Cass to get back at me?
24:36I didn't back down.
24:39You shouldn't say that.
24:41I am forming the eternal blood pot with Cass.
24:47You can't.
24:48You're mine.
24:51Cain snarlered,
24:52then lunged.
24:54As soon as his hand moved,
24:56Cass' hand snapped out and grabbed his arm.
24:59Crack.
25:01Cain groaned,
25:02breath hitching,
25:04sweat beating on his forehead.
25:05Cass' gaze was lethal.
25:07The vampires around us instinctively stepped back.
25:09She's my blood pack, mate.
25:12You think you can touch her?
25:14With a sharp twist,
25:15he slammed Cain to the ground.
25:18Cain curled up,
25:19groaning.
25:21I didn't even look at him.
25:22I simply turned to Cass.
25:24Cass stood over him,
25:26unmoving.
25:27A wine hug rolled across the floor
25:30and was kicked aside by P3's boot.
25:46Know your place.
25:54This is Eve's coming-of-age ceremony.
25:57Don't make me spill blood.
26:00Ceron slammed his sepala heavily onto the ground,
26:03producing a deep resonance.
26:07Silence returned instantly.
26:10You disgrace.
26:13House arresting for three months.
26:16Stay in your room and reflect.
26:19But Cain wasn't done.
26:20Eve!
26:21Tell him you love me!
26:22Say it!
26:30I didn't even look at him.
26:31I simply turned to Cass and smiled quietly.
26:34Even if you're afraid,
26:36it's too late now.
26:38Our bonding ceremony was set for the next Blood Moon night.
26:41One morning before that,
26:43I found Cass waiting by the training grounds.
26:45He didn't speak for a minute.
26:47Just watched.
26:50Then, in a low, tense voice.
26:53Everyone thinks I'm a monster.
26:55That I've killed too many.
26:57Are you afraid of me?
26:59I stopped mid-draw.
27:01Beau half-pulled and met his eyes directly.
27:05Afraid of what?
27:06Afraid that one day I'll lose control and hurt you.
27:08His gaze involuntarily fell on the pulsing vein at the side of my neck.
27:12The heartbeat there looked especially soft and tempting in the morning light.
27:15His throat bobbed noticeably,
27:17and a fierce, almost uncontrollable hunger flashed in his deep blue eyes.
27:21But it doesn't matter.
27:22Even if you're afraid,
27:23it's too late now.
27:24No matter if you regret it later,
27:26I won't let go.
27:28You're mine.
27:29Even in this life,
27:31you can only be mine.
27:32I want to bite your neck right now
27:34and leave my mark on you forever.
27:36The morning sunlight illuminated his face.
27:38In that moment,
27:39I saw again the image from my previous life of him covered in blood,
27:42rushing into the dungeon for me,
27:43fighting the entire blood clan.
27:45I've never regretted it,
27:46and I'm not afraid of you.
27:48I've heard what they say,
27:49but I know you're not the monster they describe.
27:52The sharp edges softened.
27:54A flush crept up his neck.
27:55I interrupted him.
27:56I've heard what they say,
27:58but I know you're not the monster they describe.
28:00I chose you,
28:00Cass Nightshake.
28:01From the very beginning,
28:02I never doubted it.
28:03Acting all devoted to Cass
28:05when you're actually terrified.
28:11His throat moved.
28:12He reached out,
28:13fingers wrapping around my wrist.
28:16Steady and warm.
28:18Eve,
28:19don't forget what you said today.
28:21His voice grew lower,
28:23rough as gravel.
28:24I won't.
28:31When I returned to the tent,
28:32Lena was turning meat over the fire.
28:35Hearing my voice,
28:36she spun around,
28:37eyes full of malice.
28:45You're really good at pretending,
28:47acting all devoted to Cass
28:48when you're actually terrified.
28:49What,
28:49Cain suddenly isn't good enough anymore?
28:51So now you're throwing yourself at that madman?
28:55Her laughter was sharp and vicious.
29:00Just wait.
29:02When Cass finally snaps,
29:04you'll be the first to die.
29:07Before I could reply,
29:09chaos erupted out.
29:10A guard's panicked voice rang out.
29:13Cain is here!
29:14He brought people with him!
29:22I stepped back.
29:31I yanked open the tent flap
29:32and stepped into the sunlight.
29:34There he was,
29:35Cain.
29:37Surrounded by several thugs,
29:39while the rest of the clan gathered,
29:41watching like it was a show,
29:42Lena rushed over,
29:43forcing a tight smile.
29:49Cain!
29:51You're here to take me away, right?
29:59Cain didn't even glance at her.
30:07He walked straight to me,
30:09dropped to one knee,
30:10and pulled out a ring set
30:11with a large ruby from his coat.
30:12He held it up as if it meant something.
30:17Eve, I messed up.
30:20But,
30:20I'm here now.
30:22Give me another chance.
30:24Form the blood pact with me.
30:25I'll spend the rest of my life
30:27making it up to you.
30:28I swear I'll never let you suffer again.
30:31Disgust churned in my stomach.
30:34I stepped back as if avoiding fire.
30:40I'm the only person I've ever loved.
30:43Have you forgotten?
30:45Weren't you obsessed with Lina?
30:52Cain scrambled to his feet,
30:54Cain scrambled to his feet,
30:54reaching out,
30:54but Lina clung desperately to his arm.
30:59He roared at her desperately.
31:02Eve, please.
31:03It was all a misunderstanding.
31:04No one compares to you.
31:06You're the only person I've ever loved.
31:13Interesting.
31:14That's not what you said before.
31:17You told me that once we formed the pact,
31:19I had to be obedient,
31:21stay quiet,
31:22and never question you and Lina.
31:24I was confused back then.
31:25I didn't mean to hurt you.
31:27Cain, you said you loved me.
31:31You said I was sweeter than Eve.
31:34You promised we'd form the pact
31:36after the blood moon.
31:39Shut up!
31:42Cain slapped her hard,
31:44snapping her head to the side,
31:46the kind of brutal strike I knew all too well.
31:52A red mark swelled on Lina's face.
31:55She clutched her cheeks,
31:57stunned.
31:59I'm not a straight!
32:01I'm not!
32:02You bitch!
32:04You seduced me.
32:05If it weren't for you,
32:07Eve would have chosen me long ago.
32:09Still blaming others.
32:18You're nothing but a scheming whore.
32:20You were never worthy of standing by my side.
32:23So he had always known the truth.
32:26He just chose to lie.
32:29Again.
32:32How could you ever compare to Eve?
32:35His voice turned cruel.
32:36She's true able bloodline.
32:38You?
32:39You're just a distant cousin from her mother's side,
32:41a stray the clan took in out of pity.
32:43Did you really think I would form a pact with you?
32:45Lina's face went deathly pale.
32:47She was my mother's distant cousin.
32:50After her parents died,
32:51we took her in like family.
32:52I gave her everything.
32:53Let her shine,
32:54let her receive praise.
32:55But she was still greedy.
32:56She even tried to steal my blood-packed mate.
32:58Now, exposed in front of everyone,
33:00those stares and whispers stabbed at her like daggers.
33:03I'm not a straight!
33:05I'm not!
33:06She cried out, shaking,
33:07her voice breaking in panic.
33:08Cain scoffed.
33:09You thought I couldn't tell?
33:11Your bloodline, your status,
33:13none of it compares to Eve's.
33:15You don't even deserve to be her servant,
33:16yet you wanted to be my mate.
33:18I'd had enough.
33:21But Cain rushed over and grabbed my wrist.
33:24I hope to see everyone at the ceremony.
33:29Eve, don't go!
33:30You saw?
33:31I'm done with her.
33:32I swear I won't go near her again.
33:34Just give me one more chance.
33:36I pulled my hand back,
33:37voice icy.
33:38Cain,
33:39show some respect.
33:41I'm about to become your sister-in-law.
33:43I looked him straight in the eyes.
33:45Maybe as the prince's son,
33:46you think everything is yours by right,
33:48but there's one thing you'll never get.
33:51He narrowed his eyes.
33:54What?
33:57A second chance.
33:58In this life, there are no second chances.
34:01I made sure every word cut like a knife.
34:07I turned to the crowd,
34:09my voice loud and steady.
34:12Cass and I will soon form the eternal blood path.
34:16I hope to see everyone at the ceremony.
34:24I told the guards,
34:26no one was allowed in.
34:29They drama.
34:32I was done with it.
34:35Warmth blooming in my chest.
34:37On the day of the bonding ceremony,
34:40I woke before dawn.
34:42Cass lifted the tent flap and walked in.
34:45Holding a bouquet of fresh morning star leaves,
34:48still dewy,
34:49carrying the wild cell of the dark ancient forest.
34:52He said nothing.
34:54Simply lifted me into his arms
34:56and carried straight toward the statue of the goddess of night.
35:01I looked at his sharp jaw and straight nose.
35:05Warmth blooming in my chest.
35:07He was nothing like Cain.
35:09He was an ice forged blade that only melted for me.
35:21On the way to the altar,
35:23he suddenly stopped,
35:24lowering his head to stare deeply at my neck.
35:27The pulse there beat gently.
35:28His breathing grew heavy,
35:30throat bobbing,
35:31eyes flashing with raw almost feral hunger,
35:34as if the next moment he would lower his head
35:36and pierce my skin with his fangs,
35:37marking me as his before the ceremony even began.
35:42I want to bite you right now.
35:45I smiled softly and reached up to touch his cheek.
35:49After the ceremony,
35:51you can mark me however you want.
35:53His eyes darkened.
35:55He restrained himself and kissed my oarhead
35:58before continuing forward.
36:01In that moment,
36:02I was absolutely certain
36:04I had chosen the right person
36:07this life.
36:10He drew a knife from his waist
36:12and stabbed it viciously into the ground.
36:18Cain stood directly in front of the goddesses of night statue.
36:22In full ceremonial attire,
36:24the silver moon groom emblem shining on his chest,
36:27blocking our path.
36:30No one expected him to actually come and cause trouble.
36:34He had completely lost his mind.
36:40Cass set me down,
36:41preparing to step forward alone,
36:43but I grabbed his wrist and walked to his side.
36:47From now on,
36:48we face everything together.
36:56Looked up at me.
36:58Morning light poured into his eyes.
37:02Melted gold.
37:04Then Cain saw our joined hands.
37:09His wolf snapped.
37:12He drew a knife from his waist
37:14and stabbed it viciously into the ground.
37:37Eve, come with me.
37:39Eve, come with me.
37:39We'll swear before the goddess of night.
37:41You've always been mine!
37:45Cain!
37:46Madness.
37:46The vampire who once tossed me aside
37:49was now begging like a beggar.
37:52Cain.
37:53If you're here to witness the ceremony, stay.
37:56But if you're here to ruin it,
38:02whatever happens next,
38:04you brought it on yourself.
38:09Witness.
38:10He roared, voice rising.
38:14You told me you only loved me!
38:18You swore you'd never form a pact with anyone else!
38:21Then he lunged,
38:23eyes wild,
38:24blade flashing.
38:25Cass didn't even blink.
38:26He pulled me behind him
38:27and met Cain head on.
38:29The blade brutally struck skin with a dull thud.
38:32He caught it with his bare hand.
38:34Blood poured out instantly,
38:35flowing down his finger.
38:36I grabbed his hand.
38:38Are you insane?
38:39Why block with your hand?
38:41Call a healer!
38:42Now!
38:43Cain just stood there,
38:44wrecked.
38:44You used to worry about me like this.
38:47Now you won't even look at me.
38:49I stayed facing forward and replied,
38:52He is my blood-packed mate.
38:53If I don't worry about him,
38:55who should I worry about?
38:59Guards swarmed in
39:00and pinned Cain to the ground.
39:02He struggled and howled
39:03like a wild beast.
39:05Then Lena appeared from somewhere,
39:07crying as she threw herself at him.
39:09Cain, stop!
39:11I'll go with you!
39:12I'll give up everything!
39:17He shoved her away like trash
39:19and screamed at the Goddess of Night statue.
39:21Goddess of Night, hear me!
39:22I was wrong!
39:23Give me one more chance!
39:24I will protect Eve forever!
39:26I swear I'll never let her...
39:27I didn't even glance at him.
39:29The healer was already bandaged Cass' hand.
39:31The silver wound required special ointment,
39:33and the healer's spiritual power to mend.
39:36Take him away and lock him up.
39:37Let the prince decide what to do after the ceremony.
39:40My voice didn't waver.
39:44Cass used his uninjured hand to take my wrist
39:47and led me up to the altar,
39:49standing before the Goddess of Night.
39:54Under her gaze,
39:56we completed the bonding ceremony.
40:00Later,
40:01I heard that Saron personally gave Cain
40:04a brutal punishment
40:05before exiling him to the edge
40:06of the dark ancient forest.
40:08Without orders,
40:10he was not allowed to enter.
40:12The Silver Moonblood Clan's doors
40:14were closed to him forever.
40:16Didn't someone say come to bed earlier?
40:19When night fell,
40:20Cass walked in.
40:21I curled up in bed,
40:22watching him slam the door shut.
40:26What, now that the ceremony's over,
40:27you're planning to stand guard at the door all night?
40:31I patted the spot beside me.
40:35Come here.
40:38Just walked over,
40:40pulled off his robe,
40:42and let it fall.
40:43His back was covered in muscle and scars.
40:45Some old,
40:46some new.
40:47Proof of a warrior.
40:48Arms braced on either side of me,
40:50his breath warm with the scent of cedar and blood.
40:53Didn't someone say come to bed earlier?
40:55I looked up at that still sharp jaw
40:56and reached up to touch his ear.
40:58It was burning.
40:59Just as I thought.
41:00What?
41:01Scared?
41:02You're mine.
41:03What do I have to be scared of?
41:05I want to ask you something.
41:08What?
41:10Back then,
41:11the vampire said you were willing to die for Cain.
41:14His fingertips brushed across my collarbone.
41:17His fingers found the ties of my nightgown and pulled.
41:20Have you really let go?
41:21Of those things?
41:22And of him?
41:23Let go of what?
41:24I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer.
41:27I was blind before.
41:28Now I know who's worth it.
41:30He smiled.
41:31Low and satisfied.
41:33Smart girl.
41:35Eve.
41:37We're going to have an offspring.
41:41His mouth found mine again, hungrier this time.
41:45You don't have to be so gentle with me.
41:48His eyes darkened.
41:54I know.
41:55I know.
41:55Afterward, we lay tangled in the messy sheets, his breath hot against my colisphone.
42:01Then he lowered his head and sunk his fangs into my neck, marking me.
42:06Eve.
42:07We stand brighter than the stars around.
42:11Eve.
42:12Together we'll write a story through her love.
42:17I love you.
42:19Every breath echoes through the palm in night, hand in hand.
42:23Everything feels good.
42:25Three months later, the healer told me.
42:27I was carrying his offspring.
42:28For mixed blood vampires, pregnancy was not easy.
42:31It required high compatibility between both bloodlines and a long, careful gestation period.
42:36But the goddess of night had blessed me.
42:38By then, Cass had already taken over as prince.
42:41He froze, staring at my belly.
42:43His hand hovered in the air, trembling.
42:46Touch it, I said, guiding his palm to rest there.
42:51His skin was burning hot, fingers still shaking.
42:59Eve.
43:01We're going to have an offspring.
43:04I simply nodded, smiling.
43:10Do you remember?
43:13In the previous life.
43:14Then news came from the eastern plains.
43:17After Cain abandoned Lena, she went mad.
43:20She ran around wildly and eventually disappeared from the Silvermoon blood clan.
43:24Later, the guards found her, her neck torn open by some beast in the dark ancient forest.
43:29On the same day, Cain died.
43:32The autumn rain came fierce and sudden.
43:35A landslide destroyed the edge of the ancient forest.
43:38He was crushed under the rubble.
43:40When the guards found him, one of his legs was mangled, twisted beyond saving.
43:44When I appeared, he lifted a trembling arm.
43:49Eve.
43:51You came.
43:53Cass tried to stop me, but I grabbed his wrist.
43:56Let me end this.
43:58Once and for all.
44:03I knelt beside Cain.
44:05Blood was everywhere.
44:06Thick.
44:07Metallic.
44:08Do you remember?
44:11In the previous life.
44:13He coughed up blood, voice broken.
44:16So he remembered too.
44:17Those fragments.
44:18Those nightmares.
44:18He had just chosen to pretend to forget, to keep playing the arrogant Cain.
44:22Under the goddess of night statue, we formed the blood copped.
44:25You said forever.
44:25Said we'd plant night star flowers in the courtyard.
44:28His fingers clawed at the mud as if digging up ghosts.
44:30You were pregnant.
44:32Her eyes looked like yours.
44:35Chasing fireflies in the courtyard.
44:38Then I smiled, cold and sharp.
44:44You locked me up.
44:46I died.
44:47Keep talking.
44:49Maybe one day you'll believe it yourself.
44:53But guess what?
44:55I came back too.
44:57His eyes widened in shock.
44:59Lightning striking him.
45:00You.
45:01You.
45:04I remember everything.
45:06You locked me up.
45:08I died.
45:10Me and our child.
45:12Full of hatred.
45:16But his eyes never left me.
45:19When his final breath left him, his hand was still reaching for me.
45:28Let's go.
45:30The rain poured down fiercely, pounding the rubble, washing away all the rot of the past.
45:36I leaned into Cass' arms, letting his heartbeat ground me.
45:40I was finally free.
45:44Sunlight broke through the clouds, illuminating our joined hands.
45:48Warm and filled with peace.
45:50God hear the tears.
45:50You.
45:51Come on.
45:51Watch.
45:51You.
45:51Get.
