00:11To be continued...
00:30The royal grounds made me pave a road of atonement, said I could never return to court.
00:34That night, he pointed at Rue's grave marker and said,
00:36She was carrying my pup when she died.
00:39If your Stormfreak tribe weren't so powerful, why would I have married you?
00:43Rue would still be alive, and so would my child.
00:48You don't deserve to have offspring.
00:50Spend the rest of your life moving stones.
00:53Atone for Rue and her pup.
00:55Within a year, my father and brother were framed for colluding with vampires.
00:59The entire Stormfang tribe was slaughtered.
01:01I coughed up blood and died.
01:03Then I opened my eyes.
01:04I was back the day I was marrying into the royal court.
01:07Outside, the wolves were howling at the moon.
01:10The sound of Alpha Cain kicking the wedding carriage axle snapped me fully awake.
01:15I was reborn.
01:16I clenched my fists.
01:18My heart pounded.
01:19If the moon goddess was giving me a second chance, I wasn't going to waste it.
01:23The Stormflag tribe wouldn't die in vain.
01:26I would live this time, and I would make him pay for every drop of blood he spilled in my
01:30past life.
01:31Cain led me into the ritual circle.
01:33Freya, my handmaiden, steadied my arm.
01:36As she leaned in, I whispered a few quick words.
01:39Freya's eyes flickered.
01:41She was a warrior raised by the Stormfling tribe.
01:43She'd been by my side since childhood.
01:46A handmaiden in name, a bodyguard in truth.
01:48I trusted her completely.
01:49The wedding between Alpha Cain and the daughter of Stormfang, every chieftain in the northern territories had come with their
01:55mates.
01:55It was the biggest union the north had seen in years.
01:58The daughter of Stormfang was about to become the luna of the royal court.
02:02The ritual circle was alive with noise.
02:04In the name of the moon goddess, bind by blood.
02:07Then a young servant from Rue's room came running in, stumbling over herself.
02:11Alpha! Rue tried to kill herself!
02:16Tears streaming down her face.
02:17She dropped to her knees, forehead hitting the ground.
02:21Rue grew up with the Alpha.
02:23Please, Alpha, save her!
02:25Why would she do something so stupid?
02:27I told her I'd give her a title after the wedding.
02:29He caught himself mid-sentence and shut his mouth.
02:32He turned to run, remembered it was his wedding day.
02:34Every chieftain in the north was watching.
02:37If he left now, by tomorrow, his father's desk would be buried in letters demanding his head.
02:41Leora, I need to check on Rue.
02:44I'll come back and finish the blood covenant.
02:46The wedding's set.
02:47What's the hurry?
02:48I widened my eyes, made my voice small and pitiful.
02:51Alpha, this is a matter of life and death.
02:54Why don't I come with you?
02:56A luna should handle household affairs after all.
03:00Kane looked relieved.
03:01Yes, yes, of course.
03:02So the Alpha and his bride-to-be left the ritual circle halfway through the ceremony to visit a wet
03:07nurse's daughter.
03:08The crowd whispered behind us.
03:10They couldn't believe it.
03:10Inside the wooden house, Rue was wearing a moonlight gown, the kind a bride was supposed to wear for the
03:15blood covenant.
03:16She'd dyed cheap burlap white herself.
03:18The stitches were crooked.
03:19Her half-shifted claws were pressed against her own throat.
03:22Her fingertips had already broken skin.
03:24Blood trickled down her neck, dripping onto the white dress.
03:27She saw Kane walk in, burst into tears.
03:32Threw herself at him.
03:34Alpha, I didn't mean to.
03:36I just want to be with you.
03:37I...
03:39I know I'm low-born.
03:41This entity, I can never be your luna.
03:45But I wanted, just once, to wear a moonlight gown and complete the blood covenant with you.
03:53You know I've wanted to be your mate since we were children.
03:57Kane pulled her close.
03:58His face was twisted with pain.
04:01Why are you so stupid?
04:02Why are you stupid?
04:04I told you I'd give you a title after the luna moved in.
04:10Why would you do this?
04:12If anything happened to you, how could I go on?
04:16Are you trying to rip my heart out?
04:17Rue took his hand, placed it gently over her stomach.
04:21Alpha the healer came a few days ago.
04:24I'm carrying your pup.
04:26Two months.
04:28I didn't want my child to be born low-win.
04:31To be mocked and called bastard.
04:37That's why I...
04:38Really?
04:41Really?
04:44You're carrying my pup?
04:47Yes, Alpha.
04:50We're having a child.
04:52They held each other.
04:53Everyone else just stared.
04:55No way.
04:56The Alpha knocked up a wet mater's daughter?
05:01On his wedding day.
05:02And she chose today to make a scene.
05:04Look at them.
05:05This is bad.
05:07Lyora must be devastated.
05:08She's the future luna.
05:10This is a slap in Stormfing's face.
05:12Alpha Cain.
05:13I thought she was just a servant.
05:15Now you're telling me she's pregnant with your pup?
05:17Lyora, she's my wet nurse's daughter.
05:20We grew up together.
05:21She's the woman I love.
05:23So you're in love.
05:24You've been meeting in secret.
05:25And now there's a child.
05:31Rue scrambled off the bed,
05:33dropped to the floor in a full submission kneel.
05:36Forehead to the ground.
05:37Hands spread wide.
05:39Throat bared.
05:42Luna, it's not the Alpha's fault.
05:44Luna, it's not myself.
05:47It's mine.
05:48I couldn't control myself.
05:55My palm connected with her cheek.
06:03How dare you?
06:05I'm the legitimate daughter of Stormfun.
06:07I was raised with discipline.
06:10I will not be slander.
06:12I met the Alpha two times before the engagement.
06:15Always with elders present.
06:17Always with elders present.
06:44Never alone.
06:44Payne grabbed her arms.
06:46Payne grabbed her arms.
06:47Stop.
06:50He looked at me.
06:51I not.
06:53I not.
06:53You renounced to Bent.
06:54His voice was sharp with blame.
06:56This isn't Rue's fault.
06:58This isn't Rue's fault.
06:58That's baking at you it.
07:00You were.
07:00That's the only difference.
07:03Without your father's wolves.
07:07Would I want you as Luna?
07:09Rue tried to kill herself today because of you.
07:13She's carrying my pup.
07:15Now you're married in.
07:17Rue is my consort.
07:19I won't leave her or my child without a title.
07:21I laughed at him.
07:23Luna?
07:24The Lycan King himself had approved this match.
07:26If it weren't for this engagement,
07:28Cain wouldn't even be sitting in the Alpha's seat.
07:30I lifted my chin.
07:32The Luna position was granted by the Lycan King himself.
07:37How you've behaved today on our wedding day.
07:40Insults not only Stormfig, but also the King.
07:43If you loved Rue, why not call the engagement?
07:46You wanted my family's army.
07:48And your lover.
07:50Did you think I'd refuse you a consort?
07:54And you?
07:56You've known about the pregnancy.
07:58You waited until wedding day to make a scene.
08:01Are you really not doing this on purpose?
08:05I heard a servant say,
08:07You make consorts drink sterilization tonic.
08:10I was afraid for my pup.
08:13Sterilization tonic?
08:14Which servant?
08:15My people just arrived.
08:17They don't even know where the wooden houses are.
08:19Why would they gossip about me?
08:21Do you think the servants of Stormburn are as undisciplined as yours?
08:24Go on.
08:25Name the servant.
08:26Let's have a face-to-face confrontation.
08:29Rue's face went red.
08:31Then pale.
08:32Finally, she whispered,
08:33Oh, I don't know.
08:36Maybe I misheard.
08:37Everyone understood.
08:38It was pathetic.
08:40Just a whore.
08:41Using her belly to cause trouble on a wedding day.
08:43She thought a noble bride would be too ashamed to fight back.
08:47Leora must be so humiliated.
08:49She's a storm home.
08:50The future Luna.
08:51Then Cain's wet nade,
08:54Rue's mother came rushing in.
08:56Dropped to her knees in full submission pose.
08:59Luna.
09:00Luna.
09:01Praise the alpha.
09:03Give Rue a title.
09:04Or the king and queen will kill her.
09:08Get up.
09:11You're my Luna.
09:12And you're making her kneel?
09:14This is how Stormfin treats elders?
09:18I loved Rue before you.
09:20I accepted you as Luna.
09:23But if you're this jealous and petty,
09:25how can you be mate to a future Lycan king?
09:31I remembered what he'd done to my family in my past life.
09:34The blood rushed to my head.
09:39This time,
09:40I would not let history repeat.
09:44Cain and Rue clung to each other.
09:46I stepped back
09:47and pulled off my wolf-thing necklace.
09:52Your love is so touching.
09:54I won't stand between you.
09:55We haven't completed the blood covenant.
09:58Technically, we aren't mates.
10:00And Rue is already wearing her moonlight gown.
10:02Why don't you two complete the ritual together?
10:09The engagement is over.
10:10I'm not marrying you.
10:14The chieftains behind me erupted.
10:17No way.
10:19The Lycan king himself approved this match.
10:24The alpha slapped Stormfin in the face.
10:27Rannar Stormfin won't let this go.
10:28Lyora is a Stormfog princess.
10:30She doesn't have to take this.
10:31She'd rather lose the Luna position
10:33than tolerate a servant's bastard child.
10:38Cain stared at me,
10:39stunned.
10:40You're breaking off the engagement?
10:42This is treason.
10:43My father approved this marriage.
10:46Alpha, don't fight with the Luna because of me.
10:49I'll give up everything.
10:50Go complete the blood covenant.
10:52Don't make the Lion King angry.
10:54Don't break father and son apart.
10:57You're always thinking of me.
10:59My good Rue.
11:01I won't fail you.
11:03Are you sure your father and brother will agree to this?
11:06Can Stormvag really give up this kind of power?
11:09Stormfold can.
11:19Stormfold can.
11:20It was my father.
11:22It was my father.
11:22Behind him stood my brother.
11:24Ragnar Stormfin.
11:25This marriage was approved by the Lion King.
11:30Your daughter cannot simply throw away a royal convocant.
11:33He humiliated you in front of every tribe.
11:36Hold.
11:37My daughter has spoken.
11:39Stormfin stands with her.
11:41This covenant is broken.
11:44You dare defy the King's order?
11:46Tomorrow, I'll go to court myself.
11:49You dare?
11:50Leora, if you leave the royal court today, don't think you can ever come back.
11:54Don't worry, Alpha.
11:56I will never set foot in this court again.
12:03My father and brother brought me home.
12:06My mother had already heard the news.
12:08My Leora.
12:10You've been wronged.
12:12Her eyes were red as she came out to meet us.
12:14Because it was my wedding day, our tribe's relatives and friends were all there.
12:18Everyone was already here.
12:20Don't worry.
12:21You'll find someone better.
12:22He's not worth it.
12:24I laughed through my tears.
12:25This time, my family and tribe were alive.
12:28I would protect them.
12:29My mother held my hand.
12:31I leaned into her, feigning girlish neediness.
12:34Father, you and mother have to stand up for me.
12:37That Alpha humiliated me.
12:38He disrespected Father too.
12:41Don't worry.
12:42The Alpha's out of line.
12:45We're not the only ones who will be writing letters of complaint.
12:48The next morning.
12:50Miss, you're awake.
12:52Something huge happened.
12:54You'll be so happy.
12:56It turned out that after I left the wedding, the servants had spread the news all the way to the
13:01Lion King and Queen.
13:05The Queen had smashed a cup of wine in fury.
13:08Rue Morrow.
13:09Of all the people to offend, he chose Stormfane?
13:12That bitch.
13:14I knew her.
13:16A servant girl.
13:17I never took her seriously.
13:19Now she's carrying his pup?
13:22She thought Liara would just accept it quietly?
13:25On her wedding day?
13:26Does she even know who Liara is?
13:29Stormberg's only daughter.
13:30Raised by the Luna herself.
13:32I picked Liara for Kane.
13:34I spent years arranging this match.
13:37And they ruined it.
13:39All for a half-grown pup.
13:41She thinks she can marry into the royal court because she's got a lump of flesh in her belly?
13:46This court has never lacked for pups.
13:48Bring Rue Moran to the moon goddess altar.
13:50Make her kneel and reflect on her mistakes.
13:53When the Queen's female warriors dragged Rue out of her wooden house, she was still screaming.
13:59How dare you!
14:01I'm carrying the Lycan royal family's pup!
14:06When Alpha Kane finds out, he'll have you executed!
14:11The warriors were calm.
14:12Let me go!
14:13The Queen's orders.
14:15No!
14:18Kneel at the moon goddess altar.
14:20When you understand your mistake, you can get up.
14:23Impossible!
14:24I'm carrying a future royal pup!
14:26The Queen can't do this to me!
14:28I'm the Alpha's future consort!
14:31The Queen's personal attendant stood to the side, expressionless.
14:34Miss, the Queen has made herself clear.
14:38You ruined the Alpha's engagement.
14:41The punishment for that is death.
14:45If you don't kneel and reflect, you can reflect in the dungeon instead.
14:50Rue's face went white.
14:51She didn't say another word.
14:53She spent the moonless night on her knees at the moon goddess altar, hands bound behind
14:57her back, an iron chain around her neck.
15:01Noble women passing by whispered,
15:03This is the servant girl from yesterday.
15:06She's not a servant.
15:07She's the wet nurse's daughter.
15:09Her mother was claimed by a servant.
15:11She was born a slave.
15:12She grew up with the Alpha.
15:15Hmph.
15:16Think she can seduce her way to the top.
15:19Disgusting.
15:20I heard Ragnar Stormvon went to court today to ask for the engagement to be formally arrived.
15:24If that happens, the Queen is going to flay her alive.
15:29Rue broke out in a cold sweat.
15:31She looked like she might collapse.
15:35My father and brother knelt before the Lycan King.
15:38Your Majesty, we spoiled our daughter.
15:40She's not fit to marry the Alpha.
15:42Leora heard that the Alpha loved someone else.
15:44That woman is pregnant.
15:45Leora didn't want to come between them.
15:47She asked to annul the engagement.
15:49Please, Your Majesty, understand.
15:51The King's face was dark.
15:52Cain, what do you say?
15:54Cain lifted his chin.
15:55Ragnar Stormfern, where the women of Stormfern never taught basic manners.
16:00I'm going to be Lycan King, so what if I have another woman?
16:03She calls off the engagement over that?
16:05Spoiled.
16:07Completely spoiled.
16:08My brother raised his head.
16:09Alpha, this isn't worth it.
16:10A single woman?
16:12You'd ruin an alliance over one woman?
16:14You sit at the highest seat of power.
16:16You're supposed to set an example.
16:18Plenty of other women want to be my Luna.
16:20If your daughter doesn't want the position, fine.
16:23Engagement annulled.
16:24Your Majesty, the Alpha has agreed.
16:27Please issue the decree.
16:29My father pressed his forehead to the ground.
16:31The Lion King looked at his son with disappointment.
16:34You are my heir, and yet you behave like this.
16:36Fine.
16:37If you insist on breaking this engagement, I will give you what you want.
16:42My father and brother left the court, beaming.
16:44Meanwhile, on Cain's side, he barely stepped out of the hall when a servant came running.
16:49Your Highness, Rue, the Queen locked her in the tower at the Moon Goddess altar.
16:56Cain rushed over.
16:57Rue was pale as death from kneeling.
17:00She saw him and collapsed into his arms.
17:04Alpha, save me.
17:06Cain carried her into the hall.
17:08The Queen rose to her feet, incandescent.
17:11Cain!
17:11You defied your father's order for her.
17:14You defied my order!
17:16Are you trying to bring the whole court down?
17:19Cain set Rue down, knelt before the Queen.
17:23Mother, Rue is carrying my first pup.
17:26Your grandchild.
17:27The Queen smashed her cup.
17:30One pup?
17:32Against the entire Stormflow tribe?
17:34Do you understand what you've lost?
17:36Stormflow's wolves.
17:37The strongest warriors in the north.
17:39Gone!
17:40Cain raised his head.
17:42Stormfling is a loyal subject of my father.
17:44Whether his daughter is my Luna or not, he will serve the king.
17:49I'm not afraid.
17:50If I can't protect the woman I love, what kind of alpha am I?
17:54Not giving Rue the Luna position is already my biggest concession.
17:59Leora disrespected me.
18:01If I'd let her into this court, it would have been endless trouble.
18:04The Queen stared at him.
18:06For a long moment, she said nothing.
18:09Then she waved her hand.
18:10Years of teaching.
18:12All wasted.
18:15Fine.
18:16Have it your way.
18:18Leave.
18:18The news spread through the court.
18:21Cain had fought with the Queen over Rue.
18:23Some saw opportunity.
18:26If Rue would be the alpha's consort, it was worth curring favor.
18:31Noble women began visiting her.
18:39The Queen announced she would be selecting a new Luna for Cain.
18:43There was a banquet for the arrival of the southern Emses.
18:46The Queen invited all the noble daughters to keep them company.
18:50After the banquet, we walked through the moon goddess garden toward the spring pool.
18:56Rue was sitting in one of the poolside chairs, wearing a dark red dress.
19:00Several servants stood around her.
19:01She smiled when she saw us.
19:03Leora.
19:04Long time.
19:05Too bad the alpha isn't here today.
19:07We could have caught up.
19:09I heard you isn't engaged yet.
19:10Still waiting for the alpha?
19:12Oh, but the Queen is going to pick a new Luna for him soon.
19:15I bet you're regretting leaving now.
19:17I sat down across from her.
19:19I heard today was about choosing the alpha's Luna.
19:21Oh, but Rue, you're pregnant.
19:23I can't just call you by name.
19:25But you haven't been officially named a consort yet, have you?
19:35I'm not sure what to call you, that servant's bastard.
19:38The Queen seems to really like the southern princess.
19:42The Luna selection is probably settled.
19:45The Queen might pick a Luna, but the alpha says I'm the only one he loves.
19:48He'll bring in other women, but they'll just be decorations.
19:51I'm not worried.
19:52Whoever comes into this court, they'll answer to me.
19:54The Luna?
19:55The Luna is a joke.
19:56You all seem to be having such an interesting conversation.
19:59Mind if I join?
20:00I didn't see this young lady at the banquet.
20:02Who is she?
20:03Princess!
20:04This is the alpha's wet nerther's daughter.
20:07One of the noble women's explained.
20:09The one who caused a scene at his wedding.
20:11She's the alpha's favorite.
20:13None of us dare cross her.
20:15A wet mercer's daughter?
20:18So, a servant?
20:19And she doesn't even have a title?
20:21Then why are you sitting?
20:23We outrank you.
20:24Are you going to stand and bow?
20:27Is this how things are done in the north?
20:29Someone teach her some manners.
20:31Pick her up.
20:32Rue screamed as the guards stepped forward.
20:36Don't touch me!
20:37I'm carrying the alpha's butt!
20:39You're a servant.
20:40Teaching you manners is doing you a favor.
20:42How is that a death sentence?
20:43Rue's voice turned strilly.
20:46The alpha and I grew up together!
20:48We love each other!
20:51Touch me and see what happens, princess!
20:56I said, do it.
20:58The princess raised her voice.
21:02The guards grabbed Rue and forced her to her knees.
21:06The alpha will have you all killed!
21:09Rue struggled.
21:10Hit her.
21:12The guards slapped Rue across the face.
21:14Her cheek swelled.
21:18Rue let out a high-pitched scream, shoved the guards away, and half-shifted.
21:23Bitch!
21:24She lunged at the princess.
21:26The princess reacted just a second too late.
21:29Something cut through the stillness and left its mark.
21:32I lunged forward, grabbed Rue, and shoved her back.
21:35She tripped over a tent rope.
21:37She screamed, but she held on and pulled me with her.
21:40We both fell into the pool.
21:41I could swim, but Rue panicked and latched onto me.
21:45We sank together.
21:47Before I lost consciousness, someone dove in.
21:50They pulled Rue off me, dragged me to shore.
21:54Brother!
21:54Give Leora your cloak!
21:56She saved me, brother!
21:57Help her!
22:00The healers pounded my back.
22:02Finally, I could breathe.
22:03Alpha Cain!
22:04Lyra told that southern savage to hit me, and she pushed me into the water.
22:09She tried to kill my pup.
22:10The queen is here.
22:11The queen and her party arrived at the pool.
22:15Rue threw herself at the queen's feet.
22:17Your majesty!
22:19Leora tried to murder a royal pup.
22:21She should be executed on the spot!
22:23I stood up, wiped my mouth.
22:26Kill a chieftain's daughter on the spot?
22:28You have a lot of nerve.
22:30I fell in because you dragged me.
22:33Everyone saw.
22:34The southern princess pressed a cloth to her face.
22:37Her voice was loud and furious.
22:39Your majesty, I don't know the customs here.
22:42But in the south, attempting to assassinate a princess means execution for the assassin's
22:48entire family.
22:49She tried to kill me.
22:51Everyone saw.
22:51She clawed my face!
22:53Cain rushed forward and put himself between the princess and Rue.
22:57That's just your side of story.
22:58Rue is timid.
22:59She would never-
23:00Leora, you were the one who didn't want to be my Luna.
23:03If you're having regrets, don't take it out on Rue.
23:06Pushing her into the water?
23:08With my pup inside her?
23:09That's a capital crime!
23:11A man stepped forward.
23:12Alpha Cain, are you saying my sister is lying?
23:16He wore southern royal robes, sharp features.
23:19He was Soran Morningshide, third prince of the south.
23:21I happened to see everything in the pool.
23:23The prince is protective of his sister.
23:26Understandable.
23:26But you shouldn't make false accusations.
23:28Soran pulled the prince's hand away from her face, looked at the bloody gash.
23:33Are you saying the southern princess clawed her own face just to frame a servant girl?
23:38I wasn't the only one watching.
23:40Your northern chieftains were there.
23:42The law keepers were there.
23:43Are they lying too?
23:44Standing nearby were the chieftains and justices.
23:47They were all looking at Cain with cold expressions.
23:50Cain, your woman tried to assassinate a southern princess.
23:54Cain's expression darkened.
23:56He turned and slapped Rue across the face.
24:01You lying bitch.
24:04You tried to frame the princess and Leora?
24:07Apologize.
24:08Now!
24:10Rue clutched her face, staring at him in disbelief.
24:14You hit me?
24:16For her?
24:17Cain leaned in, voice low and threatening.
24:20Apologize.
24:22Unless you want my father to execute you.
24:25Now.
24:25Then he hurried to Saurid's side, trying to smooth things over.
24:29The southern princess wasn't calming down.
24:32I walked over to Rue.
24:34Leaned down.
24:36Spoke only loud enough for her to hear.
24:38The south is here to make an alliance.
24:41Do you really think the alpha will take your side over theirs?
24:44I could crush you like an insect.
24:46You're nothing.
24:47A servant's bastard.
24:57Sauron caught my wrist.
24:59The moment he touched me, he went completely still.
25:03Mate.
25:05The word was low and rough, dragged up from somewhere deep.
25:08I froze.
25:09Before I could process it, he let go, closed his eyes briefly, collected himself.
25:14When he opened them again, his voice was cold and hard.
25:18Alpha Cain, you don't give my sister justice.
25:21I'll take it myself.
25:23Rue's face twisted.
25:24She pointed at Sauron.
25:26You're defending Lyora?
25:28You don't know what kind of slut she is!
25:30She's jealous of me!
25:31She's hated me ever since Cain chose me!
25:34You think she likes you?
25:35Don't be pathetic!
25:37Rue, not everyone is as small-minded as you.
25:40I'm never marrying Cain.
25:42And I'm never being Luna.
25:44You can stop worrying.
25:45Rue clutched her stomach.
25:46You noble girls.
25:48So fake!
25:49You think I don't know you're just playing hard to get?
25:51You want Cain to come crawling back?
25:53You talk too much.
25:57The Princess Silver Whip lashed across Rue's face.
26:01She clawed my face.
26:02I'll take a hundred times that.
26:04Arrest her.
26:05One hundred flashes.
26:06The whip came down again and again.
26:09Rue screamed.
26:10Riled.
26:11Every lash left a burning welt.
26:14Cain tried to rush forward, but the Queen grabbed his arm.
26:17Cain.
26:19Do you want to start a war with the South by the 20th lash?
26:22Cain couldn't take it anymore.
26:24He shoved the executioner aside.
26:26The Princess stepped forward to argue, but Sauron stopped her.
26:30A servant attacks royalty.
26:32The Master must answer for her.
26:34The Lyman King is the Master here.
26:36I've already sent word to our father.
26:38This will be handled properly.
26:39You think I'm like the noble girls here?
26:41I don't make idle threats.
26:43If I see your face again, I'll kill you.
26:46Rue was carried away, soaked in blood.
26:49Cain stood in silence, head down.
26:52Behave yourself.
26:53Cain opened his mouth.
26:55Stay in line, if you still want to be Alpha.
26:58The Queen cut him off.
26:59Rue miscarried it that night.
27:01She cried out all night.
27:02No one came.
27:03Not even Cain.
27:04Before dawn, Cain's steward came.
27:07He moved Rue and her mother out of the court to a small house on the northern border.
27:11The Alpha is merciful.
27:12Leaving before sunrise.
27:14He'll report you dead.
27:15You'll be brought back to court as his consort once you've recovered.
27:19She waited.
27:20He never came.
27:21She heard that Cain was taking a new Luna.
27:25Rue ran out of the wooden house.
27:26In the distance, the court blazed with bonfires.
27:30Cain rode a giant wolf at the head of the procession.
27:32The Luna's carriage followed.
27:34The whole territory was celebrating.
27:36Cain!
27:37She screamed.
27:38Cain!
27:39I'm Rue!
27:41I'm the woman you love!
27:43Don't you remember?
27:44Don't you remember?
27:47The drums and the howls drowned round her out.
27:50People shoved past her.
27:51She couldn't get close.
27:53She followed as far as the gates.
27:55A warrior blocked her.
27:57No entry.
27:59I'm Rue!
28:00The Alpha's!
28:02Concord!
28:04The warrior pushed her back.
28:06The Alpha has no consort.
28:09Leave.
28:10Keep causing trouble.
28:12And we won't be nice.
28:13She went back to the wooden house in a daze.
28:18Cain's steward was there.
28:20With an unfamiliar old woman.
28:24The Alpha gives you these coins.
28:26You and your mother leave the North tonight.
28:29I don't believe you.
28:31The steward snapped his fingers.
28:33Coins are wolf-a-ban juice.
28:35A servant brought out a small bottle.
28:37Choose.
28:39She collapsed onto the floor.
28:41How did this happen?
28:42He loved me.
28:44The steward laughed.
28:46Miss, the Alpha is the future Lion King.
28:49He was infatuated.
28:50But the other princes are moving up.
28:53Now Cain knows.
28:54Power matters more than love.
28:56Rue asked.
28:57Who's the Luna?
28:58Is it Leora?
28:59The old woman snarted.
29:00Our Luna is a chieftain's daughter from the North.
29:03I heard Leora's engagement has been settled.
29:07She's marrying into the South.
29:09Didn't you know?
29:10Rue stared blankly.
29:14Then she started laughing.
29:16Hysterical.
29:17Tears running down her face.
29:20Stupid.
29:21I was so stupid.
29:23All that scheming.
29:25For nothing.
29:26She looked at her hands.
29:28At the full moon rising outside the window.
29:33My mother was right.
29:34And Omega's life means nothing.
29:37She poured the wolf's bane juice down her throat.
29:41Sorin asked the Lichen King for my hand.
29:43The King agreed.
29:44The engagement was announced.
29:46Sorin was already the Southern King's heir.
29:48With the alliance sealed, the Southern King publicly named him Crown Prince.
29:53I married into the South.
29:54I would be the future Queen.
29:56Sorin and I lived in harmony.
29:59Two years later, I gave birth to a son.
30:03News came from the North.
30:05Alpha Cain had been deposed for incompetence.
30:08His younger brother was named heir in his place.
30:11I held my son.
30:13Looked at the Northern Sky.
30:16Look.
30:17That's where your mother comes from.
30:23It's time to go home.
30:25Two years later, I returned to the North.
30:28Not as Alpha Cain's discarded wife, but as the Crown Princess of the South.
30:32Sorin rode beside my carriage, his hand never far from the door.
30:35The royal court gates opened.
30:37Cain's black wolf crest was gone.
30:39In its place flew the silver banner of his younger brother, Rowan, the new heir of the North.
30:44The Lichen King and Queen stood at the top of the steps.
30:46And behind them, my father, my mother, and my brother.
30:50Alive.
30:50My throat tightened.
30:52Sorin reached into the carriage and held my hand.
30:54The Lichen King stepped forward.
30:56Princess Leora, the North owes you justice.
31:00Bring him out.
31:01A man was dragged forward in chains.
31:03Cain.
31:04His hair was unkempt.
31:06His face was thin.
31:07His once proud shoulders were bent.
31:09He looked up.
31:10The moment he saw me holding my son, his eyes turned red.
31:14Limear.
31:16Sorin's hand moved to his sword.
31:17Then, before the entire northern court, the former Alpha dropped to his knees.
31:23Cain knelt on the stone steps.
31:25In my past life, he had made me kneel in the quarry until I died.
31:30Leora.
31:31I was wrong.
31:33The words came too late.
31:35Cain has been stripped of his title.
31:36He is no longer Alpha.
31:38He begged to apologize before the South-North Alliance ceremony.
31:41Cain looked at my son.
31:43Is he yours?
31:45Sorin's face darkened.
31:49Of course he is.
31:50I stepped out of the carriage.
31:52Sorin helped me down.
31:54Cain reached toward my hen, but stopped before touching me.
31:57I thought Rue loved me.
31:59I thought you were arrogant, spoiled, and cold.
32:01I looked down at him.
32:03No.
32:03You thought power meant never having to earn love.
32:06Rue left something before she died.
32:08Cain lowered his head.
32:09The steward stepped forward with a sealed leather pouch.
32:12Cain's voice shook.
32:14It names the people who helped her.
32:15My brother's expression changed.
32:18Helped her do what?
32:19Cain looked at the Lycan king.
32:21Then at me.
32:23Frame Stormhawk.
32:24The courtyard went silent.
32:26My father's face turned cold.
32:27In my past life, Stormfang had been accused of colluding with vampires.
32:31Now the same knife had appeared again.
32:32The Lycan king broke the seal and read Rue's final confession.
32:35Before the wedding, Lady Marwyn promised me that if I forced Leora out, I would become Cain's
32:40only woman.
32:41A murmur swept through the court.
32:42Lady Marwick.
32:43The noblewoman whose daughter later became Cain's Luna.
32:45The king continued.
32:46Lady Marwick said Stormfin was too powerful.
32:49If Learla married Cain, the queen would favor her, and Cain would become useless.
32:53The queen's face darted.
32:54She said once Stormfine withdrawn, evidence would appear proving Ravnar Stormfine had exchanged
32:58letters with vampires.
32:59My brother stepped forward, furious.
33:04I didn't know.
33:05You didn't want to know.
33:07A dead servant's words prove nothing.
33:10Then you won't mind if the South examines your letters.
33:12A southern guard entered and kneeled.
33:14Your Highness, we found a hidden raven tube in Lady Marwyn's carriage.
33:18He opened a silver case.
33:19Inside were three blood-sealed letters.
33:21The seal belonged to the vampires.
33:24Lady Marwyn tried to run.
33:28My brother slammed her to the ground before she reached the steps.
33:32Keep her alive.
33:33Keep her alive.
33:34The Lycan king opened one of the letters.
33:36His face grew colder.
33:38The vampires promised troops on the eastern border.
33:40In exchange, Lady Marwyn would deliver Stormflun patrol routes.
33:43Those routes are known only to the royal court and Stormflun commanders.
33:46The queen looked at Cain.
33:48Cain went pale.
33:49His own household had leaked them.
33:51Lady Marwyn laughed through the blood in her mouth.
33:54Stormben was too strong.
33:56The queen favored Leora.
33:58If that girl entered the royal court, my daughter would never rise.
34:01Rue was stupid.
34:03You were stupider.
34:04I only pushed you where you already wanted to go.
34:07Cain froze.
34:08I walked to Lady Marwyn and crouched before her.
34:11In another life, your plan worked.
34:13My father died.
34:15My brother died.
34:18Stormfen burned.
34:21For my father.
34:23For my brother.
34:25For Stormfen.
34:28The Lycan king raised his hand.
34:30Arrest Lady Marwek and her household.
34:32At that moment, a horn sounded from the eastern wall.
34:35A scout rushed in.
34:37Your majesty!
34:38Vampire riders have crossed the border!
34:40The conspiracy had failed, so the war began.
34:43The northern court erupted.
34:46My father began issuing orders.
34:48Stormfling riders to the eastern pass!
34:51Send word to Frostheak and Ironclaw!
34:53Sora stepped forward.
34:55The southern escort rides with Stormfing.
34:57The Lion King looked at him.
34:58This is a northern war.
35:00My wife is northern.
35:02My son has northern blood.
35:04That makes it mine.
35:06Cain struggled against his chains.
35:09Let me fight!
35:11Let me fight!
35:14No.
35:16Lyora.
35:17I know the eastern pass.
35:18I can help.
35:19I remembered the quarry.
35:21The stones.
35:22The blood.
35:23Then...
35:24I looked at my father.
35:26He said nothing.
35:28The choice was mine.
35:29I walk toward Cain.
35:31If I let you fight, it is not forgiveness.
35:34I know.
35:36If you run, my brother will hunt you down.
35:39I know.
35:40If you betray Stormflag, I will kill you myself.
35:43Cain lowered his head.
35:44Yes.
35:45I turned to the Lion King.
35:46Unchain him.
35:47Put him under Stormflag command.
35:48My brother stared at me.
35:50Sister.
35:50We need every wolf.
35:52The eastern war bell sounded again.
35:54This time, close.
35:55We rad for the eastern pass before sunset.
35:57My son stayed behind with my mother in the queen.
36:00He kissed his forehead and left.
36:02The eastern pass was burning when we arrived.
36:06Vampire arrows fell like rain.
36:09Stormfloth warriors held the ridge.
36:10But the enemy had silver chains and fire oil.
36:14My father shifted first!
36:16A massive gray wolf charged down the slope.
36:19The Stormfig line followed.
36:23Zoran drew his sword.
36:26Stay where I can see you.
36:28Better.
36:28The battle swallowed us.
36:30A vampire lunged at me.
36:32I drove my dagger into his ribs.
36:34Another came from the side.
36:36Cain slammed into him and tore him down.
36:38For one second, we looked at each other.
36:40No gratitude.
36:42No forgiveness.
36:43Only war.
36:45Then someone screamed.
36:46Lord Ragnar!
36:48Across the ridge, my father had been caught in silver nets.
36:51Three vampires surrounded him.
36:53My brother rushed in and took a blade through his shoulder.
36:56Father!
36:58The blade went through him.
37:00My world went cold.
37:05Again.
37:07Not this time.
37:09Before any crown, I was Stormbone.
37:11I tore through the battlefield toward my father and brother.
37:14The vampire who stabbed my brother turned to throat.
37:17I hit him with my full weight and ripped out his too late.
37:21My brother stared at me.
37:23Sister.
37:26Your dress.
37:27My southern silk gown was shredded and soaked in blood.
37:31Mother will scold me later.
37:34Zoran cut through the silver net around my father.
37:36Cain helped him.
37:37For a moment, the former northern heir and the southern crown prince fought side by side.
37:42My father rose.
37:43Wounded, but alive.
37:44Life formation!
37:46The vampires began to fall back.
37:48Too easily, Zoran noticed it too.
37:50They wanted us to chase.
37:51I turned toward the smoke.
37:53A smaller vampire unit was moving west.
37:54Toward the royal court.
37:55Toward my son.
37:56The main attack was a distraction.
37:58I know the old hunting tunnels.
37:59They lead back under the court.
38:01No.
38:03Zoran's eyes hardened.
38:06Cain lowered his head.
38:08I won't ask you to trust me.
38:11But the main road is too slow.
38:13I pointed my dagger at Cain's throat.
38:15This is a trap.
38:16You die first.
38:20Cain nodded.
38:21I know.
38:23Then we ran into the dark.
38:25The hunting tunnels were narrow and cold.
38:28Cain led the way with a torch.
38:29I followed with two Stormfung warriors.
38:32At the split, he stopped.
38:33This way leads to the queen's inner hall.
38:35That way leads to the nursery wing.
38:37The nursery.
38:38We ran.
38:39The tunnel opened behind an old stone wall.
38:42The nursery corridor was filled with smoke.
38:44Dead guards lay on the floor.
38:45My mother's shawl was torn near the doorway.
38:47Then I heard my son cry.
38:49A vampire stood inside the nursery.
38:51My mother lay injured on the floor.
38:53The vampire smiled.
38:54Stormfung blood and southern royal blood in one child.
38:56The perfect hostage.
38:58Put my son down.
38:59He laughed.
39:00Then the queen moved behind him.
39:01She drove a silver hairpin into his neck.
39:04My son fell.
39:05I dove and caught him.
39:07Cain rushed in and killed the vampire.
39:09My son cried in my arms.
39:11My mother touched my shoulder.
39:13He's safe.
39:14The queen staggered.
39:15Cain caught her.
39:16She looked at him and whispered.
39:18You finally protected something that mattered.
39:20Then another scream rose outside.
39:22The vampires had breached the inner court.
39:25I handed my son to my mother.
39:26Take him to the altar chamber.
39:28Seal the doors.
39:29My mother looked at me.
39:31Then nodded.
39:31The queen stood despite her wound.
39:33I am still queen.
39:35Together, we entered the inner courtyard.
39:37Lady Marwen's daughter stood beside the vampire commander.
39:40Cain's new Luna.
39:41She smiled at Cain.
39:42You were supposed to stay locked away.
39:45Cain stared at her.
39:46You opened the gates.
39:47She lifted her chin.
39:48My mother promised me a throne.
39:50Instead, I got a deposed husband and a dying court.
39:52It was always you.
39:53Even after you left, everyone talked about Leora.
39:56I handed my cloak to Freya, who appeared beside me.
39:58Then stopped hiding in my shadow.
40:00The traitor Luna shifted and lunged.
40:02Freya intercepted her.
40:03Steel flashed against claws.
40:05North wolves!
40:07Protect the children!
40:09Hold the altar!
40:10Cain attacked the vampire commander.
40:12For once, he fought without pride.
40:14Only atonement.
40:15While he held the commander back, I saw the opening.
40:18I picked up the queen's silver spear and threw it straight through the vampire's heart.
40:23By dawn, the royal court was silent.
40:25The eastern pass held.
40:27Sorin returned before sunrise with my father and brother.
40:29Both wounded.
40:31Both alive.
40:32When Sorin saw me holding our son, he crossed the courtyard and pulled us into his arms.
40:36Lady Marwen's daughter was captured.
40:38Lady Marwen confessed before execution.
40:40The vampire letters were read before every northern chieflin.
40:42Stormflin was cleared before the accusation could ever be borne.
40:45The Lycan king issued three decrees.
40:47Second, the South-North alliance would be sealed by blood oath.
40:50Third, Cain would be sent to the border quarry.
40:53The same quarry where he had once condemned me in my past life.
40:58When the guards came, Cain did not resist.
41:01He looked at me one last time.
41:03I know you won't forgive me.
41:05No.
41:05He nodded.
41:06Then his eyes moved to my son.
41:09Protect him becoming like me.
41:11Sorin's arm tightened around I.
41:13He has a father.
41:15He won't.
41:16I answered coldly.
41:19Cain lowered his head.
41:20The guards led him away.
41:22The North has lost an heir.
41:23The Lycan king looked at Sorin.
41:25No.
41:26The North has found something better.
41:27He took my hand and raised it before the court.
41:29A queen who knows what it costs to lose a kingdom.
41:31The Northern wolves lowered their heads, one by one, to me.
41:35My son laughed in my arms, reaching toward the rising sun.
41:39In my past life, I died under the weight of stones.
41:42In this life, I came home carrying a crown.
41:45And this time, no one would take my family from me again.
41:49Cain!
41:49Cain!
