00:24To be continued...
00:30I screamed. She just... laughed.
00:34She didn't know that stone was the only thing keeping the real me asleep.
00:38She didn't know she just set me free.
00:41My childhood friend Alpha Caleb gave me an unforgettable surprise at his 18th birthday ascension ceremony.
00:48When I was 10 years old, I saved Caleb from a deadly hunter's trap.
00:58And my wolf soul was completely shattered in the process.
01:04Since then, I couldn't shift and became the wolf-less one that everyone in the Dark Moon pack mocked.
01:10But Caleb had promised me...
01:14Avery, don't be afraid.
01:16When I come of age and become Alpha, you'll be my Luna.
01:21I believed him wholeheartedly.
01:24For 8 years, I helped him with tactical planning, cleaned up his messes, and followed behind him like an invisible
01:30shadow.
01:31I thought that was love.
01:33Until tonight, his 18th birthday.
01:36I stood below the stage, watching him with anticipation.
01:41Caleb took a deep breath, his gaze cutting precisely through the crowd and locking onto me.
01:47His pupils suddenly dilated vertically.
01:50I knew the Moon Goddess had bound us together.
01:53We were destined mates.
01:55He looked at me.
01:56Come up here, Avery.
01:58I've prepared a surprise for you.
02:01He looked at me.
02:06My heart raced uncontrollably.
02:08Was he going to announce to the entire pack that he'd keep his promise?
02:14I had just stepped onto the platform when Caleb's hand clamped down on my shoulder like a steel vise.
02:19I couldn't move.
02:21The next second, a blonde, blue-eyed girl with a killer figure strutted out from the shadows on high heels,
02:27playing with scissors coated in silver dust.
02:29It was Bailey, the neighboring Alpha's daughter and head cheerleader at school a mediocre Sheevolve with nothing but looks.
02:38Caleb, is this the welcome gift you mentioned?
02:40Bailey giggled into the microphone.
02:42Your way of proving to me that you're completely severing ties with your past burden?
02:51Caleb, what are you doing?
02:54Let me go.
02:55I whispered, my body trembling with fear and humiliation.
02:59He chuckled low in my ear.
03:04Avery, even if the Moon Goddess bound us together, so what?
03:08Do you think a cripple who can't even shift deserves to be Luna of the Dark Moon Pack?
03:13I'm sick of dragging around this dead weight.
03:16Do it, Bailey.
03:17She deserves this.
03:20Caleb ordered coldly.
03:24Snip dot silver dust grazed my neck, instantly burning a red mark.
03:28A strand of dark brown hair fluttered down.
03:31The crowd below erupted in thunderous laughter.
03:34They raised their phones.
03:36Camera flashes going crazy, recording this wolf-less girl's miserable state.
03:40I bit my teeth and looked up at Caleb.
03:44Why?
03:45My voice trembled.
03:46You said you'd protect me.
03:48Protect?
03:49Bailey laughed delightfully, snatching the microphone.
03:52Her voice echoed through the massive gymnasium.
03:55Avery, do you know how he complains about you every night in my bed?
04:00Bailey contemptuously lifted my chin.
04:02He says seeing your pathetic, submissive face every day, unable to even shift, makes him sick.
04:08Watching you follow him around like a dog has been our favorite joke.
04:12I felt ice cold all over, staring at Caleb in disbelief.
04:17I hoped he'd refute it, even just one word of denial.
04:22But Caleb just looked down at me with complete indifference in his eyes.
04:25Bailey's telling the truth.
04:27Caleb said coldly.
04:29Avery, you think I kept you around because of love?
04:32No, it was pity.
04:34He stepped forward, speaking in a voice only we could hear.
04:37Eight years.
04:38The whole pack says I owe you my life.
04:42I've had this damn life debt hanging over my head for eight long years!
04:47Should I be dragged down by a cripple my whole life?
04:51Don't I deserve a strong Luna who can stand beside me as an equal?
04:57If this is how it has to be, I wish you'd never saved me.
05:03My heart felt like it was being crushed by a spiked iron fist.
05:07So the life debt I'd paid for with everything in his eyes, it was just humiliating moral blackmail.
05:14Bailey stepped forward and roughly tore off my dark cloak, throwing it to the ground.
05:19I cried out in shock, hugging my body in shame.
05:24The early winter wind mixed with mocking laughter and camera shutters cut into me like knives.
05:29Caleb looked at my exposed body and said as if granting charity,
05:33Avery, just kneel down today and acknowledge as Bailey your Luna and swear to be her servant forever.
05:39I'll be merciful and let you stay in the Dark Moon pack.
05:45I'm doing this for your own good.
05:48I have to let much for your own good.
05:50After all, a wolfless can't survive three days outside pack territory.
05:58As long as you obey, I'll still take care of you.
06:02I knelt on the cold floor, trembling all over.
06:05Eight and years of devotion had earned me a public execution to please his new lover.
06:09How pathetic I was.
06:18Caleb walked over to Bailey and took her blood-stained hand.
06:22He looked down at my wretched state with contempt and used his alpha authority to declare loudly.
06:29I, Caleb Bennett, future alpha of the Dark Moon pack, formally reject you, Avery Ross, as my destined mate.
06:45The agonizing pain of having the mate bond forcibly severed swept through my entire body like a tsunami.
06:51My knees buckled and I collapsed heavily to the ground, the pain almost suffocating me.
06:59Get lost, Avery.
07:02Don't dirty my coronation ceremony.
07:05Caleb looked at me coldly, as if viewing a pile of stinking garbage.
07:11Amid piercing laughter, I fled from Caleb's coronation.
07:16Back in my empty dorm room, I stood before the full-length mirror, looking at my hair that looked like
07:25it had been chewed by a dog,
07:26and the horrific red mark burned into my neck by the pure silver scissors.
07:31Tears fell.
07:35Don't cry, Avery.
07:37I dragged my suitcase from under the bed and swept all my belongings into it.
07:44My phone screen lit up on the desk.
07:48It was an iMessage from Caleb.
07:51Avery, come to the equipment room behind the school.
07:54We need to talk.
07:55One last time.
07:56My broken heart gave a traitorous pang of pain.
07:59Even though logic told me I should block him immediately.
08:06Eighteen years of emotional habit still drove me to grab my jacket and rush into the cold night.
08:15The old field house had no lights.
08:17I pushed open the rusty iron door.
08:20Caleb?
08:21Bang.
08:22The door was kicked shut behind me and locked.
08:24Blinding flashlight beams hit my face.
08:27Bailey and several high-ranking she-wolves who usually terrorized the school surrounded me with baseball bats,
08:32looking at me like prey.
08:34Look who it is.
08:37A stray dog following her master's scent with her tail wagging.
08:42Bailey played with her phone that text had been sent from Caleb's phone.
08:47What do you want?
08:48I stepped back, staring at her coldly.
08:51What do I want?
08:53Bailey suddenly rushed forward, grabbing my collar and slamming me hard against the cold lockers.
09:00Did you really think Caleb would come see you?
09:04I just wanted to give you one last lesson about knowing your place.
09:09Bailey's gaze suddenly fixed on the faintly glowing moonstone hanging around my neck.
09:16This was what Caleb had personally put on me after my wolf soul was destroyed.
09:20He said this stone contained a trace of his wolf soul's essence.
09:24And as long as I wore it, his wolf would always recognize and protect me.
09:28This had been my only spiritual support through eight years of endless mockery.
09:32No!
09:33Don't touch it!
09:34I struggled in panic, but two strong she-wolves pinned my arms.
09:38Bailey extended her long, sharp nails and tore off the leather cord, snatching the moonstone away.
09:44Bailey looked at the stone with disgust.
09:46Tut.
09:46A cripple still keeping love tokes?
09:49Avery, stay away from Caleb from now on.
09:52Don't look at him with those disgusting eyes.
09:54He's mine now.
09:57She smashed the moonstone hard on the cement floor and ground it to pieces under her heel.
10:04No!
10:06I screamed hysterically, tears finally breaking free.
10:09I desperately broke away and fell to the ground.
10:12Trying to gather the powder with my hands, my fingers cut bloody by the sharp fragments.
10:16The door opened and Caleb walked in.
10:18He glanced at the crushed stone, then at my miserable state, and frowned with annoyance.
10:23He pulled Bailey lovingly into his arms, his voice gentle.
10:26Babe, didn't I tell you not to come to dirt, dirty places like this?
10:30Your dress is covered in dust.
10:32Bailey knackled against him pitifully.
10:34Caleb, I just wanted her to return your things, but she tried to threaten me with that broken stone.
10:40Caleb said coldly,
10:41You scared Bailey.
10:43I already rejected you.
10:45You should have some self-awareness and stop trying these childish tricks to get my attention.
10:50I suddenly found it absurd.
10:52For trash like this, I'd lost my wolf soul and endured eight years of humiliation.
10:56When despair reaches its feet, it transforms into deadly emptiness.
11:00I released my grip on the crushed stone.
11:02I didn't want it anymore, Caleb.
11:04The dark moon pack, my 18 years of bonsai, didn't want any of it.
11:12I struggled to stand and wipe the blood from my hands.
11:15Calmly, I spoke the formal words of severance.
11:18I, Avery Ross, accept Caleb Bennett's rejection.
11:26The last fragile thread of our bond shattered completely at that very moment.
11:30The corner of my soul that had been like dead ruins suddenly trembled.
11:36An ancient, majestic voice echoed clearly in my mind.
11:40Finally willing to throw away this garbage, my little wolf cub?
11:44Those blind fools have no idea what they've awakened.
11:48I jerked my head up sharply.
11:50In the depths of my brown pupils, a brilliant silver gleam flashed.
11:55The smugness froze on Caleb's face for a second.
11:58He shouted at me unnaturally.
11:59That's right.
12:01Stay here and reflect properly.
12:02Don't let me see you bullying Bailey again.
12:06The equipment room door was locked with malicious intent, leaving me alone in the darkness.
12:16Click.
12:17The snick of a metal lighter closing.
12:19I turned alertly.
12:20A man in a black hoodie emerged from the shadows.
12:23He had clearly witnessed everything that just happened.
12:27In the moonlight through the window, I saw those eyes black as the abyss, the dangerous aura of an apex
12:32predator.
12:33What a night full of surprises.
12:35The man's voice carried dangerous amusement.
12:37So, abandoned little white wolf?
12:40Ready to burn this hypocritical school to ash?
12:50None of your business.
12:52The man paused, then chuckled low.
12:54Stubborn.
12:55He murmured.
12:58I like that.
12:59He stepped forward and slipped a pure black card into my jacket pocket.
13:03I like your eyes, little white wolf.
13:05If you run into trouble, or if you want someone to help you get revenge, you can find me.
13:14Then he turned toward the locked rusty iron door and casually snapped his fingers.
13:18Boom.
13:19A deafening explosion.
13:20The heavy iron door along with half the brick wall crumbled and collapsed, sending dust throughout the hallway.
13:26See you around, Avery.
13:28The man vanished like a ghost melting into the night.
13:31I pulled out the black card.
13:33Only a phone number and a name.
13:34Kalen Blackwood.
13:39The Crown Prince of the Bloodfang Pack, famous throughout Supernatural America,
13:44as a worthless playboy.
13:45Why would he be here?
13:46But it didn't concern me.
13:49I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, channeling that ancient white wolf power within me.
13:54I violently severed the pack link that bound me at the darkening car.
14:01Sharp pain flashed through me, but what followed was unprecedented freedom.
14:06The next morning, I threw my suitcase into the back of my black jeep.
14:11Avery!
14:12A furious roar came from behind.
14:14Caleb rushed over and grabbed my car door.
14:18He had deep dark circles under his eyes and reeked of cheap alcohol mixed with Bailey's nauseating perfume.
14:23Where are you going?
14:25He stared at me intensely.
14:27Home.
14:27I didn't even look at him and tried to close the door.
14:31Home?
14:31Are you insane?
14:33I can't sense you through the mental link anymore.
14:35You forcibly severed the pack bond?
14:41Do you know how this makes me look to other packs?
14:44Caleb's voice shot up.
14:49They'll say I'm ungrateful?
14:51That I drove away someone who saved my life?
14:53I'm officially becoming alpha next month.
14:56You had to embarrass me at this crucial moment?
14:59His panic wasn't because he'd hurt me, but because my leaving would ruin his image.
15:04My voice was ice cold.
15:06Move, Caleb.
15:08I won't.
15:09Immediately renew your loyalty oath to me.
15:13Avery, our years of friendship, you'd throw it all away over last night's little incident?
15:19Wham!
15:20Before he could finish, I swung my hand and Caleb flew like a ragdoll, crashing hard into
15:25the lawn and spitting blood.
15:29He looked up at me in shock.
15:30A soon-to-be alpha had just been slapped away by this wolf-less girl.
15:41How is that possible?
15:42He stammered, fear finally flickering in his eyes at the unknown.
15:47Our 18 years of grudges were settled last night.
15:51Don't provoke me again, otherwise next time I'll crush your throat directly.
15:57I got in the driver's seat and started the engine.
16:02He screamed hysterically behind me, trying to use his last card.
16:07Avery, you can't leave!
16:10Your father is our PAX lead enforcer!
16:12Running off to be a rogue is treason, punable by death!
16:16How will your father explain this to mine?!
16:19I rolled up the window, shutting out his impotent rage.
16:23The jeep drove away, leaving the cage that had once trapped me far behind in the rearview mirror.
16:30When I pushed open the living room door with my disheveled hair and the burn mark on my neck...
16:34Avery!
16:35Mom gasped.
16:36Your hair!
16:37Who did this?
16:39Dad shot up from the couch, radiating murderous intent.
16:47I looked at them, my voice surprisingly calm.
16:51Caleb.
16:52He rejected me at the coronation ceremony.
16:55Then lured me to the old field house and had Bailey crush my moonstone.
16:59I paused.
17:02I've unilaterally severed my mental link with Dark Moon.
17:05From now on, I'm a rogue.
17:09Sierra Etch.
17:09Dad punched through the heavy wooden coffee table, his eyes instantly turning blood-red.
17:16Just playing.
17:17The sound of aggressive breaking came from outside.
17:19The door burst open as Caleb and his father the current.
17:21Dark Moon Alpha stormed in furiously.
17:24Marcus!
17:25Control your daughter!
17:26The current Alpha immediately tried to assert dominance.
17:28This was just some overexcited prank between young wolves competing for mates.
17:32Avery actually dared to sever her pack bonds?
17:34Make her renew her loyalty oath immediately and I'll pretend this never happened.
17:43Caleb stood behind his father, pale-faced, not daring to look at the scar on my neck.
17:50Avery, you can't gamble with the pack's honor!
17:53I'm about to become Alpha.
17:55Alpha, your defection at this critical moment makes me look weak to neighboring territories!
18:00A prank?
18:01Dad suppressed his fury.
18:03Your son held down my daughter while a foreign she-wolf cut off her hair and publicly rejected their mate
18:10bond.
18:10With each word, Dad's intimidating presence intensified.
18:14You call that a prank?
18:17Marcus!
18:18Watch your tone!
18:20I am your Alpha!
18:21The current Alpha flew into a rage, releasing the absolute dominance of an Alpha command.
18:27But my father didn't retreat an inch.
18:29He laughed coldly and tore the black iron wolf fang insignia representing Dark Moon's supreme command on his chest,
18:35throwing it hard at the current Alpha's feet.
18:38As of now, I quit.
18:41Dad's voice rang with finality.
18:45Your son can defend his own throne.
18:51But my daughter's dignity is our family's life!
18:56Caleb panicked completely.
18:58Mr. Ross, you can't leave!
19:01Without your border defense systems and elite guard units, Dark Moon's defenses won't last three months!
19:07Then pray to the Moon Goddess for protection.
19:10Dad shielded Mom and me behind him and issued an eviction notice.
19:15Get out.
19:16We'll be completely gone from Dark Moon-terity before sunrise tomorrow.
19:20The current Alpha's face turned ashen.
19:22He finally realized what his stupid son had done.
19:25You'll regret this!
19:26You won't survive a month in the wild!
19:29He cursed through gritted teeth, dragging the trembling Caleb away in humiliation.
19:34I watched their retreating figures and laughed mockingly.
19:37Regret.
19:38Soon they'd learned that losing an ancient white wolf and their chief,
19:41weapons officer had given the Dark Moon pack a death sentence.
19:46On my first day free from the Dark Moon pack, I went to a salon.
19:51I told the stylist, sitting before the mirror,
19:54Cut it all off.
19:56Half an hour later, I looked at myself in the mirror,
19:59an extremely sharp pixie cut that completely revealed my naturally fierce jawline and cold eyes.
20:04The girl in the mirror was no longer the submissive wolfless who had followed behind Caleb.
20:09In the depths of those brown eyes lurked an ancient beast.
20:12That had just awakened.
20:14This was the real me.
20:15I didn't wallow in past pain.
20:17I spent the next several months in extremely disciplined physical and tactical training.
20:22I could feel the white wolf power within me awakening,
20:25though I still couldn't fully shift.
20:27My speed, strength, and perception far exceeded ordinary high-ranking werewolves.
20:32Using the perfect tactical analyzes, I'd ghostwritten for Caleb over eight years,
20:37plus my demonstrated strategic genius.
20:39I received an acceptance letter from North America's most prestigious institution Apex Royal Academy,
20:46with straight A's that crushed all competition.
20:51My first class was the highly selective advanced combat strategy with holographic combat simulation.
20:58The lecture hall at Apex Royal Academy reeked of various alpha pheromones,
21:03aggressive, arrogant scents mixed with territorial pine or cigar smells that were suffocating.
21:08But I didn't even frown.
21:10I sat in the back corner by the window,
21:12adjusting the holographic tactical tablet on my desk.
21:15One minute before class started.
21:17The previously noisy classroom fell eerily quiet for a few seconds.
21:24Completely different scent forced its way into my senses.
21:28Arctic glacier mixed with cold black pine,
21:30carrying an abyss-like darkness that made people tremble.
21:34The instant I smelled it,
21:35the white wolf still sleeping within me suddenly opened her eyes
21:39and let out a possessive growl in my consciousness.
21:41I suppressed my shock and looked up.
21:43Hooky L.N. Blackwood,
21:45wearing the same black hoodie as before,
21:47winked at me.
21:51We meet again, little she-wolf.
21:56He ignored several flirting she-wolves and walked straight through the aisle,
22:01pulling out the chair next to me.
22:03Then he took black-rimmed glasses from his pocket and put them on,
22:07looking like a total nerd,
22:08but that glacial scent from his body dominantly filled the space around me.
22:14You're crossing boundaries, Blackwood.
22:17What?
22:18Is the former, future Luna of Darkmoon Pack,
22:21now afraid to let someone sit next to her?
22:23He tilted his head with a wicked smile.
22:26His words hit precisely on my scars.
22:28But I didn't get angry, just sneered.
22:31I'm only afraid stupidity is contagious.
22:36On the platform,
22:38the professor began projecting today's advanced topic.
22:41Blood Moon Canyon Defense Battle.
22:44I ignored him and picked up my stylus,
22:46quickly building defensive matrices on the tablet.
22:49Three crossfire points perfectly sealing the canyon entrance
22:53as simple as breathing for me.
22:55Suddenly a hand reached over
22:57and unceremoniously gripped my hand holding the stylus.
23:00The instant his skin touched mine,
23:02an electric current sensation shot through my skin
23:05straight to my brain like high-voltage electricity.
23:08My heart skipped a beat and my breathing stopped.
23:11This, this was the spark only mates could feel.
23:14I whipped my head around to look at him.
23:17Kellan's movements also froze.
23:19A flash of dark gold light passed through his deep black eyes.
23:23The next second, he pulled my stylus away
23:26with extremely bad casual tone covering his loss of control.
23:30Too conservative, Pixie.
23:31He drew a huge red X over my defensive line
23:34and pulled out a red line diving deep behind enemy lines.
23:38He leaned over,
23:39his warm breath freely spraying against my ear,
23:42voice husking.
23:45Bite the opposing alpha's throat directly.
23:48Isn't that better than cowering in the back waiting to die?
23:54I forced down the inexplicable heat from being too close
23:58and deliberately jabbed my elbow hard into his ribs.
24:01Decapitation without bait is suicide.
24:03I kept my face cold,
24:05adding decoy squads next to his red line.
24:09You think everyone is like you,
24:11able to charge blindly on battlefields thanks to blood flag pack backing?
24:15Kellan's smile disappeared.
24:17He suddenly took off his glasses and carelessly tossed them on the desk.
24:21Turning to get in my face,
24:23too close I could see his long eyelashes.
24:26You're trembling, Avery Ross.
24:29Is it from fear?
24:31Or because your body actually enjoys me touching you?
24:34This definitely wasn't the look a worthless playboy should have.
24:38But I, Avery Ross,
24:40had never been afraid of beasts.
24:42I leaned toward him proactively.
24:44My red lips almost brushing his jaw,
24:47every muscle in his body tensed like steel in that instant.
24:50I'm trembling because I can't wait to crush your stupid decapitation tactics
24:54along with your arrogant bones under my feet in next period's combat class.
25:00The bell rang at the perfect moment.
25:02I grabbed my backpack.
25:04Stood up.
25:05And ruthlessly knocked his shoulder aside as I strode out of the classroom.
25:09Behind me came Kellan's low,
25:11husky laughter that carried a certain sick pleasure.
25:14I'm looking forward to it, my little pixie.
25:20Apex Royal Academy's underground combat arena.
25:23Wearing sleek combat gear with fighting wraps on my hands.
25:26I felt fantastic.
25:28First match, Avery Ross versus Jax.
25:32The iron-blooded instructor marked his electronic board and barked roughly.
25:37A nearly two meter tall, muscle-bound gray wolf alpha cracked his neck as he stepped onto the fighting platform.
25:44He looked at me like a rabbit that had wandered into a wolf pack.
25:48Instructor, you sure you want me fighting this wolf-less?
25:50Jax mocked with bared fangs.
25:53I'm afraid if I accidentally release my pheromones, she'll be so scared.
25:57She pisses herself kneeling on the ground.
25:59Harsh laughter erupted around us, Kialin leaned against the chain-link fence.
26:04Looking like he was waiting for my humiliation.
26:07Or for me to beg for help.
26:09I crooked my finger at Jax.
26:11Too much talk.
26:13Come here.
26:15Jax was completely enraged by my dismissal.
26:18He roared.
26:20Charging straight for my throat.
26:29In my partially awakened right-bolt vision, his movements were painfully slow.
26:45Just as he lunged, I dropped low in a sliding step to avoid him.
26:49Then my right foot explosively pushed off the ground with a vicious high kick that landed solidly on his vulnerable
26:55neck.
26:56Jax crashed heavily onto the rubber mats.
26:59The entire arena fell silent.
27:05Jax clutched his neck and released his full alpha pressure and humiliated fury,
27:09trying to dominate me with bloodline suppression.
27:12A wave of nauseating stench hit me.
27:15I strode over and planted my foot firmly on Jax's chest, leaning down.
27:20This is your proud bloodline?
27:23Pathetic.
27:25Submit, or I'll crush your ribs.
27:27Jax carefully slapped the floor.
27:28I submit!
27:30Nice work, Pixie.
27:31The crowd automatically parted as Kialin slowly walked onto the fighting platform.
27:36That arctic glacier and black pine scent instantly enveloped the entire space,
27:42dominantly dispelling Jax's lingering stench.
27:45But beating dumb brutes like that doesn't prove how brilliant your bait tactics are.
27:50He pulled off his hoodie, leaving only a tight black t-shirt that outlined his explosively powerful muscle definition.
27:58Let me be your opponent.
27:59Before he finished speaking, a black blur flashed past.
28:03I instinctively raised both arms to block as a tremendous force made me slide back half a meter.
28:09But what shocked me more was that the moment our skin touched,
28:13it felt like fire shooting straight from my arms to my heart.
28:16His attacking movement showed a moment's hesitation.
28:19I immediately used the backward momentum for a fierce spinning kick straight at his face.
28:24Kialin dodged by tilting his head while grabbing my ankle and yanking me toward him.
28:29I lost balance completely as he used his other hand to wrap around my waist,
28:34locking me firmly in his ice and snow scented embrace.
28:37Our chests pressed tightly together.
28:39His warm lips almost brushed my earlobe.
28:43Got you.
28:47The instant he relaxed, my hand shot up to grip his shoulders as my knee drove up hard toward his
28:53abdomen.
28:54Kialin grunted and instinctively loosened his grip.
28:57My body moved like a flexible viper, instantly circling behind him to lock my arm around his throat.
29:03Then I used my thigh to pressure his knee joint and violently flipped his entire body to the ground.
29:08I straddled his waist, chest heaving dramatically as sweat dripped from my jaw onto his eye corner.
29:15Decapitation without bait is suicide.
29:18I looked down at him returning his classroom words verbatim.
29:21Do you understand now, Blackwood?
29:23The entire training ground fell dead silent, everyone thought.
29:27I was dead meat for daring to pin down and provoke this notoriously volatile mad dog.
29:32Kialin stared at me intently, then suddenly curved his lips in an extremely low, sexy laugh.
29:39He raised his long fingered hand and gently covered mine that was locked around his throat.
29:44Point taken, my queen.
29:46With his husky whisper, that deadly electric current sensation exploded wildly between our touching skin again.
29:53I looked at the undisguised dark gold vertical pupils in his eyes and my heart completely skipped a beat.
30:01After my fight with Kialin, I went from invisible to the center of attention.
30:06So during the month-end Blood Moon combat assessment, I faced even more challenges.
30:11In two hours, I had already consecutively eliminated five high-ranking alpha students who had fallen into Blood Moon frenzy.
30:18Damn it!
30:20How can this wolf-less-less be so fast?
30:22A werewolf whose ribs I'd broken with one kick lay in the mud, cursing in disbelief.
30:27I ignored him and prepared to move to my next target.
30:30Just then, an eerie cold wind scattered the clouds overhead.
30:34A beam of blood-dark red moonlight shone directly on me.
30:37My heart suddenly constricted as if gripped by an invisible giant hand blood.
30:42Moons easily made werewolves lose reason and become killing beasts.
30:47I collapsed painfully to the ground.
30:49My ancient white wolf was awakening, but my human shell had been dormant too long to withstand this power.
30:56Every bone in my body was fracturing, blood seeping through my skin as if I'd be torn apart by this
31:01force at any moment.
31:02Just as I was about to fall into darkness, a cold pine scent surrounded me.
31:06Avery!
31:07A black figure burst through the Mayago.
31:09It was Kailin.
31:12His usually playfully cynical black eyes had been completely replaced by the dark gold vertical pupils unique to pure-blood
31:19Lylan Kings.
31:19The moment he approached me, both our souls erupted in simultaneous thunderous roars.
31:24True mate.
31:25This bond was 10,000 times stronger than the weak attraction between Kailin, but extreme fear appeared in Kailin's eyes.
31:32Seeing my blood-covered state, his breathing became extremely rapid.
31:35No, not like this.
31:38Kailin seemed trapped in some terrible nightmare.
31:40Don't leave me.
31:41I can't do this.
31:42I can't go through this again.
31:44I later learned his father's betrayal had caused his mother's mate mark to shatter.
31:49Young Kailin had watched his mother give up her will to live and die vomiting blood in extreme pain and
31:55despair.
31:59Since then, he'd been extremely averse to mate bonds.
32:02He believed giving away his heart meant surrendering his life.
32:05Now fate played the cruelest joke.
32:07Just as he recognized his destined mate, he had to watch her die from blood replash before his eyes.
32:12Get away!
32:14Stay away from me!
32:15Kailin closed his eyes in agony.
32:17He wanted to sever this fatal bond.
32:19He was afraid to experience that abandonment despair again.
32:23He wanted to run.
32:24He was a coward trapped by trauma.
32:28But I wouldn't allow my mate to be a coward.
32:31I gripped Kellen's arm with deadly force.
32:34My nails pierced his skin.
32:35Come back.
32:40Look at me, Kailin Blackwood.
32:45I'm not one of those weaklings who gives up life over a little pain.
32:49Nothing can make me submit.
32:51Not even this damn bloodline.
32:55I won't die.
32:57And I absolutely won't let you run.
32:59He looked at me and the Eternal Queen's wildfire in my eyes.
33:03In that moment, he finally understood I wasn't his mother who abandoned life over heartbreak.
33:09I was Avery Ross, a lunatic who dared grab death and fate by the throat.
33:13Damn it.
33:14Kailin suddenly cursed low.
33:16The fear in his eyes instantly receded.
33:18He yanked me forcefully into his burning embrace.
33:21He said through gritted teeth, voice hoarse like a voe.
33:24Since you provoked me, Avery, even if you go to hell, I'll drag you back.
33:31Kailin stopped suppressing himself.
33:33Terrifying pure blood-like in King pressure exploded like a nuclear bomb.
33:38Instantly snapping every tree within a hundred meters.
33:42Without hesitation, he raised his wrist and pierced his artery with sharp canines.
33:47He gripped my chin and forcefully fed me the pure.
33:51Lichen King blood radiating powerful life force.
33:54Accept it.
33:56Let your wolf out.
34:00He roared in my ear.
34:02The pain disappeared, replaced by absolute power that controlled everything.
34:10In his arms, I threw back my head and released my first howl in eight years.
34:15Under the blood-dread moonlight, my body was wrapped in brilliant silver-white radiance.
34:21When the light faded, a massive wolf with fur pure as polar ice and eyes sharp as cold moonlight stood
34:29proudly atop the black forest ruins.
34:31The ancient white wolf had fully defended.
34:35Light flashed as Kailin also transformed into a black-bold giant wolf even larger than me.
34:41Those dark-bold eyes looked at me with complete devotion.
34:45Then this pure-blood, Lichen King lowered his noble head to me and gently nuzzled my neck fur.
34:51A king swearing fealty to his queen, a shattered soul finding eternal home.
34:57That night, dual royal howls echoed through Apex Academy's black forest, carrying unmatched dominance.
35:04Meanwhile, my former homeland, the Dark Moon pack teetered on extinction.
35:10Without my father's protection and military strength, Dark Moon territory became fat prey for rogue wolf packs.
35:17Kailin, as the soon-to-be alpha, took his perfect Luna Bailey to the battlefield.
35:25Facing crazed rogues, the usually arrogant head cheerleader, Bailey screamed and hid behind trees, even pushing a young guard toward
35:33enemy claws to save herself.
35:35Only after losing everything did Caleb realize in terror that his ability to be a stable genius alpha had entirely
35:43depended on having a wolf-less girl handling all tactical planning and crisis management behind the scenes.
35:49Now the person he'd considered dead weight had been pushed away by his own hands.
35:55A month later, one afternoon, Caleb found me at school.
35:58He looked haggard, but his gaze still held that ingrained arrogance.
36:02He blocked my path.
36:04Avery, had enough of this tantrum?
36:07Come back with me.
36:08I stopped and looked at him like viewing a corpse.
36:12Are you out of your mind?
36:14Dark Moon is in trouble now!
36:16Rogues are attacking our borders!
36:17I know you're angry at me, and I admit Bailey was useless on the battlefield, but you were raised by
36:23Dark Moon.
36:24Do you want to watch your former home get destroyed?
36:29He took a deep breath as if making some huge sacrifice.
36:36Just come back with me now and convince your father to reactivate the defense systems.
36:41I can retract my previous rejection.
36:43You can be my first mate with Bailey ranking below you.
36:46You should be satisfied with that, right?
36:50I couldn't help laughing out loud.
36:53Caleb, both your vows and charity are garbage to me.
36:57Now get lost immediately.
36:59You!
36:59Caleb flew into a rage.
37:01Don't be ungrateful!
37:03Without me, you'll never hold your head up in werewolf society.
37:06He suddenly reached out, releasing his pathetically weak alpha pressure while trying to forcibly drag me away by the arm.
37:13Just as his fingers were about to touch me.
37:16Take your filthy hands off, my mate.
37:20Terrifying dark, cold pressure swept from behind me like a tsunami.
37:25Wham!
37:25Before Caleb even saw who it was, that overwhelming force pressed him to his knees on the hard cement.
37:32Kalen Blackwood slowly emerged from the hallway shadows.
37:35His pupils burned with the dark old divine fire of vertical.
37:40Slits, the mark of a pure blood-like encaine.
37:44Kalen Blackwood?
37:46That worthless playboy?
37:47Caleb's face showed complete disbelief.
37:50In his understanding, Kalen was just waste living off family background.
37:55Kalen walked to my side and naturally wrapped his arm around my waist.
37:59So you're the trash who cut my queen's hair.
38:02With each step Kalen took closer, the cement under Caleb's feet cracked with terrifying fissures.
38:11You...
38:12You're lichen?
38:14Caleb's face went deathly pale.
38:16He finally understood why this supposed playboy could run wild at America's top academy
38:23without even high-ranking instructors daring to control him.
38:27Originally I planned to spare you for Avery's sake, but now I've changed my mind.
38:32Caleb trembled all over, desperately pleading.
38:36Avery, save me.
38:38I didn't know he was Lathan.
38:39For old time's sake, make him stop.
38:41I pushed away Kalen's arm and stepped forward.
38:44The ancient, white vault's sacred pressure flattened him to the ground, making him cough up blood.
38:51You personally severed the bond that protected you?
38:54I knelt down and whispered my decree.
38:58Now take your arrogance back to your ruins and wait to die.
39:02Kalen waved his hand.
39:04Two royal guards appeared like ghosts and dragged the unconscious Caleb out of the academy like a dead dog.
39:10Three years later, at the finals of the Interpac tournament, the entire canyon was drowned in countless werewolves' frenzied cheers.
39:19I stood on the victory podium, my silver blonde hair catching the sun.
39:23I wore the ivory lace coronation gown, crowned with silver, the black gem pendant marking me as the pack's true
39:31queen.
39:32Below me on the steps knelt the tribal leaders who had, once mocked me as wolfless.
39:37Now they all bowed their proud heads in unison, placing right hands over left chests.
39:43Hail Queen Avery!
39:46Kalen stood beside me.
39:48He wore the black gold formal attire symbolizing blood fang packed supreme power.
39:53His massive, pure-blood lichen king presence enveloped the entire arena, intimidating every beast that dared challenge royal authority.
40:02He gripped my hand tightly, gently placed a crown forged from meteorite and black diamonds atop my head.
40:08Satisfied, my Luna?
40:10I looked toward distant mountains.
40:12I'd heard that in the rogue refugee camps lived a low-ranking werewolf with broken legs who survived by scavenging
40:19garbage.
40:20He would rant to anyone who'd listen that the mighty white wolf queen had once been his mate.
40:27But each time, he only earned more brutal beatings and mockery from his own kind.
40:32All betrayals, all humiliations had met their ultimate reckoning before absolute power.
40:38I turned back and kissed Kalen's lips passionately.
40:41I'm very satisfied, my king.
40:43In the sky above, massive white wolf and black gold lichen king phantoms intertwined, releasing roars that shattered the headless.
40:54Our era had only just begun.
