Short filmTranscript
00:00In my past life, the first decree Arthur made upon ascending the throne was to shatter my legs, ruin my
00:07face, and slaughter my entire tribe.
00:11My name is Serena. I was the gift, a sacrificial offering from the Darkmoon tribe to the Winterwolf royal bloodline.
00:19By royal decree, whichever Alpha successfully claimed me would command the absolute fealty of the Darkmoon tribe.
00:27The old Alpha King had even sworn a sacred oath. The mate I chose would be the one to wear
00:32the crown of the Winter Kingdom.
00:35Like a blind fool, I chose Prince Arthur, the male I had adored for years.
00:40To mend the flaws in his lineage, I committed the ultimate heresy, invoking the forbidden arts of my people to
00:47extract my own silver wolf heartblood.
00:49I poured my very life essence into him, forcefully awakening the dormant, diluted Prime Alpha gene within his veins.
00:57But the moment the crown touched his head, he turned on me.
01:01He ordered my beauty defiled, my limbs broken, and my kin hunted to extinction.
01:06The ironclad cavalry of the Winterwolves trampled the Darkmoon forest into ash.
01:12It was once the grandest domain of the North, the sacred cradle of the last spring of revival left by
01:18the Moon Goddess.
01:19You think I give a damn about being king? If you hadn't been so shameless, forcing that repulsing mate bond
01:26to chain me to your side!
01:28Alara and I would have been the freest, most envied pair in all the North!
01:32You drove Alara to a hollow, broken death. Now I want your life as payment.
01:39A bone-piercing chill, intertwined with agonizing pain, swallowed me whole.
01:44As my life ebbed away, I sacrificed my very soul to the Moon Goddess.
01:53I will have my debt paid in blood.
02:00I opened my eyes and found myself back on the day it all began.
02:11Arthi, I'm back.
02:13In my past life, the first decree Arthur made upon ascending the throne was to shatter my legs, ruin my
02:21face, and slaughter my entire tribe.
02:24My name is Serena.
02:26I was the gift, a sacrificial offering from the Darkmoon tribe to the Winterwolf royal bloodline.

02:48Like a blind fool, I chose Prince Arthur, the male I had adored for years.
02:54To mend the flaws in his lineage, I committed the ultimate heresy, invoking the forbidden arts of my people to
03:00extract my own silver wolf heartblood.
03:03I poured my very life essence into him, forcefully awakening the dormant, diluted Prime Alpha gene within his veins.
03:10But the moment the crown touched his head, he turned on me.
03:14He ordered my beauty defiled, my limbs broken, and my kin hunted to extinction.
03:20The ironclad cavalry of the Winterwolves trampled the Darkmoon forest into ash.
03:25It was once the grandest domain of the North, the sacred cradle of the last spring of revival left by
03:31the Moon Goddess.
03:32You think I give a damn about being king?
03:35If you hadn't been so shameless, forcing that repulsing mate bond to chain me to your side!
03:41Alara and I would have been the freest, most envied pair in all the North!
03:45You drove Alara to a hollow, broken death.
03:48Now, I want your life as payment.
03:52A bone-piercing chill, intertwined with agonizing pain, swallowed me whole.
03:57As my life ebbed away, I sacrificed my very soul to the Moon Goddess.
04:06I will have my debt paid in blood.
04:14I opened my eyes and found myself back on the day it all began.
04:24Arthi, I'm back.
04:26I had actually returned to the day of the Bloodlune mating ceremony.
04:30The old king sat high upon the Iron Throne, looking at me with a benevolent expression.
04:35Though his ancient eyes were filled with calculation and hope.
04:40Serena, look closely at these disappointing alphas of the Winter Royal family.
04:46Which of them is worthy of your bloodline and fortunate enough to become your mate?
04:51I didn't see answer immediately.
04:53Instead, I turned my gay oldly in a specific direction, toward Arthur, the mate I had chosen in my past
04:59life.
05:00He stood expressionless, his back rigid and straight.
05:03His gaze by harassed the crowd, landing clingily on the Omega, Alara, who stood below the dors.
05:11Sensing my stare, he quickly withdrawn to his eyes, a flash of impatient disperse crossing his face.
05:17I sneered inwardly.
05:19Arthur, since you value absolute power, and the throne less than a low-ranking Omega reeking of cheap, sickeningly sweet
05:27pheromones,
05:27I will gladly grant your wish.
05:30Below the dais, nobles draped in luxurious furs, whispered among themselves.
05:35Everyone in the keep knows Prince Arthur is completely bewitched by Prince Arthur.
05:41Today's blood-moon bonding is just a formality.
05:44Arthur is truly lucky.
05:47His wolf form is so weak, yet he managed to win the princess's favor, easily securing the throne.
05:53Everyone waited in anticipation, expecting me to walk toward Arthur with eyes full of love, just as I had in
06:00my past life.
06:01The alliance had lasted for a century, and in this generation, I was the sole pure-blood silver wolf princess.
06:08To possess me was to secure the protection of the North's vastest dark forests and its ancient magic.
06:15I smiled and leaned in to whisper into the old king's ear.
06:20The old king looked pleased, nodding continuously before turning to look at Arthur.
06:25Arthur's face instantly paled.
06:27He pushed through the crowd, dropping heavily to one knee, before the old alpha king and bowing his head.
06:34Sire, I am honored by Princess Serena's misguided affection.
06:38I know this bonding concerns the kingdom's lifeblood, and I am willing to accept the princess.
06:44However, from the very moment I laid eyes on Alara, I felt a pull to her very soul, a connection
06:51Serena could ne'er give me.
06:52I beseech you, sire, grant my request.
06:55I wish to renounce my mate bond with Serena, and claim Alara as my true mate.
07:03Insolent!
07:03Father, hear me out!
07:05I know Serena is hopelessly devoted to me.
07:08To appease the other tribes, we can simply claim Serena as my wife in name only.
07:14But the actual mate bond must be forged with Alara.
07:18Enough!
07:19Before Arthur could finish, the old alpha king rebuked him harshly.
07:23The old alpha king's face flushed crimson, his chest heaving, as the terrifying era of a top-teat alpha swept
07:29through the hall, suffocating the surrounding nobles.
07:31What status does that low-ranked omega of unknown origins have?
07:36To delusionally think she can sit as an equal with the Dark Moon Princess?
07:41You are out of your mind!
07:43Withstanding the old alpha king's furious area, Arthur clenched his jaw and stood firmly in front of Alara to shield
07:51her.
07:52Alara's bloodline may not be as noble as the princess's.
07:56What status does that low-ranking omega of unknown orances have?
08:00But precisely because of that, I must stand up for her.
08:03If I cannot even protect my beloved omega, how will I protect the subjects of the North in the future?
08:09At Arthur's word, the old alpha king could not hide his disappointment.
08:13And the couriers below sighed continuously.
08:17In Arthur's heart, did the ancient magic of the Dark Moon Forest and the easily attainable throne really pale in
08:24comparison to a mere omega?
08:26The old alpha king sighed deeply, confirming one last time.
08:31Arthur, are you absolutely determined to choose that omega?
08:35Arthur nodded slowly, his tone resolute.
08:38I beg, father, to grant this!
08:43The moment his words fell, a tearing, agonizing pain erupted in my chest.
08:48It was the physical backlash of the mate bond being unilaterally severed.
08:52A heavy stench of blood surged in the back of my throat, and my fingernails instantly shifted into silver blades,
08:58digging fiercely into my palms to force down the mouthful of blood that nearly spewed out.
09:03It hurt. It hurt.
09:05But this pain was not even a fraction of the agony I endured at the bottom of that icy abyss
09:11in my past life.
09:13Seeing Arthur so stubbornly set on his path, the old alpha king looked at me with deep guilt,
09:19waved his hand helpletly.
09:23Dismissed.
09:24The ceremony will be rescheduled.
09:27I lipped a trace of blood slipping from the corner of my lips,
09:30watching Arthur and Allara holding each other tightly in the center of the great hall,
09:35acting as if they had won the world.
09:38I pulled my gaze away from Arthur.
09:40Past the gossiping nobles, my eyes locked on the darkest corner.
09:43A towering silhouette lurked there, but he is the only true prime alpha.
09:47You threw away the throne, Arthur.
09:49This time, I give it to a real monster.
09:51The old alpha king stormed out in a fit of rage,
09:55leaving only the hushed, gossiping whispers of the nobility echoing in the great hall.
10:01I descended the steps of the high dais, walking into the center of the hall,
10:05my eyes fixed on its deepest, most secluded shadow.
10:09As I passed through the center of the hall,
10:11Arthur was already holding that frail omega tightly in his arms.
10:15He had misinterpreted the old alpha king's delay,
10:18whispering to comfort the woman in his embrace.
10:21Allara, did you hear that?
10:23Father didn't outright refuse.
10:27Soon, I will give you a proper title,
10:30and we will be together forever.
10:33Allara lowered her eyelashes and moved to devotion.
10:35She looked exactly like a shivering white rabbit tossed into a wolf's den.
10:39Just as I was about to walk past them,
10:41she acted as if she was startled by my presence.
10:44She violently shrank back into Arthur's arms,
10:47offering me a timid, trembling curtsy.
10:50Before I could even speak,
10:52Arthur pulled her back into his protective hold,
10:55his gaze stabbing toward me like an icy blade.
10:59Serena, if you have any dissatisfaction, take it out on me!
11:03Don't vent your anger on Allara!
11:08She has a weak constitution,
11:10and cannot withstand the oppressive Orama of a high-ranking alpha.
11:13In the future, you two will share equal status,
11:16so these ridiculous formulas will be whived.
11:18I looked at him coldly,
11:20finding it almost laughable.
11:22I hadn't even lifted a single finger,
11:25yet he actually believed I was using my alpha rank pressure.
11:28Bully his beloved Omega.
11:30Furthermore,
11:32had this idiot misunderstood something?
11:34The old alpha king had merely announced that the ceremony was postponed.
11:38Where on earth did he get the confidence to think I would still bond with him?
11:42Seeing Arthur defend her so publicly,
11:45Allara shyly tugged at his sleeve.
11:47Her voice so soft, it practically dripped water.
11:51Your Highness,
11:52as long as I can be with you,
11:55I am willing to be an untitled consort.
11:59Please don't argue with the princess because of me.
12:03You are going to rule the North in the future.
12:06These passive-aggressive words made Arthur want to coddle her into his very bones.
12:10City girl.
12:12Arthur glanced at me,
12:14his face full of arrogance.
12:16Flowing through my veins
12:18is the awakened prime alpha blood.
12:21When I ascend the throne,
12:23the entire North will submit to me.
12:25Why should I care about a woman's mood?
12:27He stepped toward me,
12:29his voice dropping to a dark,
12:31threatening whisper
12:31only the two of us could hear.
12:33Serena, you'd best behave.
12:35If you stay obedient when I take the throne,
12:38you sacrificed to me back then.
12:40I might bestow a place for you
12:42so you have something to rely on in the keep.
12:46Otherwise...
12:47In my previous life,
12:48Ilara accidentally fell into the freezing lake by the keep.
12:52Although she was rescued by the crawling guards,
12:55her lungs were severely damaged by the icy water.
12:58Leaving her bedridden until she died of organ failure a few years later,
13:03Arthur stubbornly blamed it all on me.
13:05He believed I deliberately ignored her cries for help
13:08and intentionally delayed the rescue.
13:11Because of that,
13:12he tortured me
13:12and even took his wrath out
13:14by slaughtering my entire dark world life,
13:17looking at this foolish man
13:18who couldn't tell right from wrong.
13:20The murderous intent in my heart nearly burst forth.
13:23He actually thought he carried the destiny
13:25of an ancient wolf emperor.
13:27It was the biggest joke in the North.
13:28I suppressed the surging violence in my eyes
13:31and pulled my lips into a cold smile.
13:34Devotion to Lady Allara is truly profound.
13:37In that case,
13:38I prematurely congratulate you both.
13:40Hoping your bloodline will be as enduring as your love.
13:44Arthur scrutinized me with some surprise,
13:47seemingly trying to find jealousy or insincerity in my expression,
13:51but he was destined to be disappointed.
13:53Without any lingering attachment,
13:55I walked past him toward the darkest,
13:58most secluded corner of the Great Hall.
14:01There, a tall, silent figure was hidden in the shadows.
14:05Bound in heavy, dark iron shackles
14:07and covered in terrifying old scars,
14:10he bore the marks of a royal killing machine,
14:12an abandoned pawn.
14:14It was Fenrir.
14:15In my previous life,
14:17when Arthur nailed me into the silver coffin
14:18at the end of the darkness and despair,
14:21I heard the sound of him frantically
14:23swinging his fraudsword to shatter his chains.
14:26He screamed my name
14:27as a volley of arrows pierced his body,
14:29his last drop of warm blood falling onto my fingertips.
14:33At that moment,
14:34I finally saw clearly what a pure and dazzling soul
14:37was hidden beneath the shell.
14:39They called a beast.
14:40I stopped in front of Fenrir.
14:42He sensed my approach,
14:43his body instantly tensing like a black panther ready to strike.
14:47Those heterochromatic eyes were full of vigilance,
14:50suppression,
14:51and a trace of imperceptible longing.
14:54I reached out,
14:55my fingertips gently touching his cold,
14:58rough iron chains.
14:59Fenrir.
15:01In seven days,
15:03I will be waiting for you.
15:05You won't disappoint me,
15:07right?
15:09Fenrir didn't scheme.
15:11In that moment,
15:12I clearly saw deep within his soul
15:14that dormant,
15:15liquid gold flame of true imperial power
15:17fiercely jolted my touch.
15:19Arthur suspiciously followed me over.
15:21Serena,
15:22what magnus has taken you?
15:23That is father's dog.
15:25A lowly bastard.
15:26You're actually touching a foul-smelling beast like him?
15:30I turned around,
15:31looked at Arthur's self-righteous face,
15:33and raised an eyebrow provocatively.
15:35Arthur,
15:36I gave you a chance.
15:40Unfortunately,
15:41you chose hell.
15:42I told you,
15:43the man I will marry was never going to be...
15:50Arthur,
15:54don't be angry.
15:55Ilara rolled her eyes thoughtfully
15:56and spoke up before I could,
15:58a voice delicate
15:59as if trying to smooth things over for me.
16:01Arthur,
16:02don't be angry.
16:04Although Commander Fennok
16:05has a lowly bloodline,
16:07he is still a knight protecting the keep.
16:09The princess's pity toward him
16:11is merely the benevolency
16:13of the Darkmoon tribe.
16:15Arthur scoffed coldly,
16:16no matter the pity.
16:18He is still a bastard
16:20who doesn't even know
16:21who his father is!
16:23Serena,
16:24you better mind your boundaries
16:26and don't get tainted
16:27by the stench
16:29of such a lower life form.
16:30I had had enough
16:31of their passive-aggressive remarks
16:33and raised an eyebrow.
16:34I merely exchanged a few words
16:35with the Empire's commander.
16:38Speaking of boundaries,
16:39Ilara,
16:40an unmarked Omega
16:41who clings to the future
16:42crown prince
16:43all day like a parasitic vine,
16:46must surely have
16:47a deeper understanding
16:47of the work.
16:48Ilara's face instantly
16:49went deathly pale.
16:50Afraid she would overthink it,
16:51Arthur glared at me fiercely
16:52and hurriedly bowed his head
16:54to comfort the woman
16:55in his arms.
16:55I curled the corner
16:56of my lips,
16:57turned,
16:58and left the nauseating hall.
16:59Returning to my bedchamber
17:01in the tower,
17:02looking at all the traces
17:03Arthur had left behind
17:04over the years,
17:06a strong sense of disgust
17:08churned in my stomach.
17:09When we first met,
17:11he gave me
17:11a dire wolf-tooth necklace,
17:13which I used to wear
17:14close to my skin
17:15as a treasured possession.
17:17But looking at it now,
17:18it seemed stained
17:19with the blood
17:20of my dark moon tribe people
17:22from my past life.
17:24With my own hands,
17:26I swept everything in sight
17:27related to him
17:28into a wooden chest.
17:29It wasn't until the sky
17:31began to lighting
17:32that I collapsed exhausted
17:34onto the velvet bed.
17:35The suffocating darkness
17:37of the icy abyss
17:38from my previous life
17:39morphed into a nightmare
17:41so terrifyingly real.
17:43When I woke up again,
17:45three whole days
17:46had passed.
17:47Princess,
17:48you're finally awake!
17:49The rumors outside
17:50have practically
17:51flooded the tower!
17:52My personal maid,
17:53Ivy,
17:54stumped her feet.
17:54You don't know,
17:55but these past three days,
17:58Prince Arthur
17:59has been treating
18:00that Alera so well
18:01to please her.
18:02He actually spent
18:03a massive amount
18:04of fire element magic stones
18:06to build her a glass greenhouse
18:07in the freezing snow
18:09just to plant
18:10her favorite white roses.
18:12Alara said her body
18:13was too weak
18:14for the extreme cold.
18:16So Arthur directly ordered
18:18a whole carriage
18:19of the Moonlight Cloud Silk,
18:21a tribute from the elves
18:23in the royal treasury
18:24to be sent to her room
18:25for new dresses.
18:28I gave a dismissive smirk.
18:30Princess,
18:31how can you still smile
18:32at a time like this?
18:34Prince Arthur
18:34is protecting
18:35that two-faced snake
18:36as if she were
18:37his own eyeballs.
18:38If you really bond
18:40with him,
18:40won't it be the same
18:41as being cast aside?
18:45All right, Ivy.
18:46Didn't I tell you?
18:49I'm not choosing him anymore.
18:51With a loud bang,
18:52the heavy oak door
18:53was violently pushed open.
18:55Arthur strode in.
18:57With a loud bang,
18:58the heavy oak door
19:00was violently pushed open.
19:01Arthur strode in,
19:02having heard my words clearly.
19:04A trace of shock
19:05flashed in his eyes,
19:06quickly replaced
19:07by his usual arrogance
19:08and content.
19:09Serena,
19:10if you really
19:11don't want to bond with me,
19:13why didn't you protest
19:14to father?
19:15You're just
19:17jealous
19:18of how well I treat Alara.
19:21You deliberately talk
19:22to that lowly bastard Fenra.
19:24playing hard to get,
19:25trying to force me
19:27to coax you
19:28the same way.
19:30I silently rolled my eyes.
19:32How blind was I
19:33in my past life
19:34to have missed
19:35how self-righteous
19:36and unreasonable
19:36Arthur was.
19:37Seeing me stay silent,
19:39Arthur walked
19:40straight to my vanity,
19:41his tone sounding
19:42like he was granting
19:43a favor.
19:44I came today
19:44to inform you.
19:47I came today
19:48to inform you.
19:50Half of the revival
19:51mana crystals
19:52and ancient artifacts
19:53you brought
19:54as your dowry
19:55from the Dark Moon tribe
19:56I have ordered
19:56move to Alara's room.
19:58Don't worry,
19:59I don't covet
20:00your tribe's things.
20:01It's just that
20:02Alara's origins
20:03are humble
20:04so I need to use
20:04these rare artifacts
20:05to bolster her status.
20:07Lest the other nobles
20:08look down on her
20:09at the ceremony
20:10in seven days.
20:12I snapped my head up
20:14staring at him
20:15in disbelief.
20:17Arthur,
20:18those are the sacred relics
20:20my father prepared for me
20:22exhausting the tribe's resources
20:24to ensure I had a foothold
20:26in the Winterkeep.
20:27What gives you the right
20:28to give them away
20:28to please an outsider
20:29without my permission?
20:31I had left my home
20:32since childhood.
20:33My father loved me dearly
20:34and every dowry artifact
20:36contained his utmost love
20:37and protection.
20:38If you care for Alara so much
20:40why not open
20:41your own private vault?
20:42Could it be that
20:43the Grand Crown Prince
20:45of the Winter Wolves
20:46who speaks constantly
20:47of true love
20:48is actually
20:49a shameless thief
20:52who is generous
20:53at the expense of others?
20:55Shut up!
20:56Knowing he's a good one,
20:58Arthur's face turned
20:59incredibly ugly
21:00and his alpha aura
21:01faintly seeped out.
21:02I am merely giving you
21:03an opportunity
21:04to show goodwill
21:05to Alara.
21:06In exchange,
21:07on the night of our bonding,
21:08I will enter your room.
21:09bite the back
21:10of your neck
21:11and leave you
21:12with the royal mate mark,
21:14preserving your dignity
21:15as the Dark Moon Princess.
21:17He paused,
21:18his gaze becoming icy
21:19and condescending.
21:21However,
21:21I promised Alara
21:22that aside from marking you,
21:24I will absolutely
21:25not touch you.
21:27After midnight,
21:29I will go to her room
21:30to spend my true
21:32wedding night.
21:34Arthur looked hordy.
21:35I laughed out loud.
21:38I never said
21:39I would choose you
21:40at this bonding ceremony.
21:42Arthur,
21:43return the Dark Moon
21:44tribe's artifacts to me.
21:46Arthur frowned,
21:47seemingly sensing
21:48that the coldness
21:48in my eyes
21:49wasn't an act.
21:50He was about to lash out
21:51when his gaze swept
21:52to the corner of the room
21:53to the wooden chest
21:54I had just packed,
21:55topped with a direwolf
21:56tooth necklace.
21:56His tense shoulders
21:57instantly relaxed
21:58and his eyes became certain
21:59and full of mockery again.
22:01Serena,
22:02I know you're upset,
22:03deliberately saying
22:04these harsh things
22:05to spite me.
22:06He pointed at the wooden box.
22:08If you've really
22:08given up on me,
22:10why can't you even bear
22:11to throw away this junk?
22:13Under his smug gaze,
22:15I walked expressionlessly
22:16to the wooden chest.
22:18I grabbed the heavy
22:19wolf tooth necklace
22:20and the cheap magic crystals
22:21he had given me
22:22and walked to the edge
22:23of the tower's balcony.
22:24The biting cold wind
22:26whipped my long hair.
22:27I threw the necklace
22:28and the crystal
22:29without hesitation
22:30into the bottomless abyss
22:31of the ice lake.
22:33Serena,
22:34what are you doing?
22:36Since it's trash,
22:38it belongs where trash belongs.
22:40Take care.
22:41I won't see you out.
22:44You,
22:46well,
22:46well,
22:47well!
22:51The room fell quiet again.
22:54I didn't slump weakly
22:55to the floor
22:56to cry like I did
22:57in my past life.
22:58Instead,
22:58I tightly clenched
22:59my fists.
23:01Father,
23:02your daughter was useless
23:03in her past life,
23:04unable to even protect
23:06her own dowry.
23:07But in this life,
23:08for everything they take
23:10from the Dark Moon Tribe,
23:11I will make them pay
23:13with their lives.
23:14Seven days later,
23:15the Blood Moon mating
23:16ceremony resumed.
23:18Ivy dressed Serena
23:20in the Dark Moon Tribe's
23:21silver light armor,
23:22a black wolf fur cloak,
23:25and the dark silver
23:26thorn crown
23:27of a pureblood princess.
23:28Outside Arthur,
23:30riding a tamed snowblast
23:31in his flashy golden red suit,
23:33stopped beneath her tower.
23:35What?
23:36Weren't you acting tough
23:37saying you wouldn't choose me?
23:39Yet here you are,
23:40waiting for me.
23:41Then he saw the thorn crown,
23:43and his face darkened.
23:45Serena!
23:46How dare you wear
23:47the Lunar Queen's crown!
23:48Men!
23:49Take it off!
23:50The fully armed royal guards
23:52obeyed Arthur's orders
23:53and charged forward
23:54aggressively,
23:55trying to restrain
23:56my shoulders.
23:57The silver claws
23:58at my fingertips
23:58instantly sprang out.
24:00Stop!
24:01Ready to slit their throats,
24:03a deep,
24:04rough voice
24:04with absolute pressure
24:06exploded like thunder
24:07in the wind and snow.
24:11Fenrir arrived,
24:12quickly knocked
24:13the guards down.
24:15and then shielded me
24:16in front of him.
24:17Before Arthur could react,
24:19the terrifying
24:20alpha pheromones
24:21radiating from him
24:22felt like an erupting volcano
24:24instantly suffocating
24:26the surrounding
24:26lower-ranking menors.
24:29Fenlog, you royal dog!
24:31Let go of the future
24:32crown, Miss Ness!
24:33My bonding with
24:34Princess Serena
24:35was ordered by
24:35the old alpha king.
24:37Are you defying
24:38a royal decree?
24:39Serena,
24:40you hired this bastard
24:41to stage a bride-snatching act?
24:43Tell this peasant
24:44who your alpha really is.
24:46I stepped out
24:47from behind Feniron,
24:48took his scarred hand
24:50in mine,
24:51raised it high,
24:52and smirked at Arthur.
24:55As you can see,
24:56I've told you more than once,
24:58the alpha I choose
25:00was never you.
25:01I've told you more than once,
25:03the alpha I choose
25:05was never you.
25:06Arthur staggered
25:07in disbelief.
25:09Impossible!
25:10You love me!
25:12You drained your life force
25:14to save me!
25:15He lunged at us.
25:17Unfilful son!
25:19But the old alpha king's roar
25:21stopped him.
25:25Have you made enough
25:26of a scene?
25:27The king strode over
25:28with his elders.
25:30Father!
25:31You swore under the sacred tree
25:33that Serena's chosen mate
25:35would be the crown prince
25:37is a lowly bastard.
25:39He has no right
25:40to bond
25:40with the princess!
25:42The old alpha king's eyes
25:44narrowed,
25:44then his voice
25:45boomed across the square.
25:47What if I say
25:48he does have the right?
25:50Impossible!
25:52Arthur froze,
25:54his arrogant expression
25:55turning comical.
25:57Father,
25:59what do you mean?
26:00The old alpha king
26:01ignored him,
26:03gesturing to the high priest.
26:06Read the oracle.
26:08The high priest
26:08unrolled two decrees.
26:11The first declared
26:12my blood moon binding
26:13with Finnark.
26:15The second revealed
26:16Finnark's true bloodline.
26:17He was the king's son
26:18by a female warrior
26:19with ancient warwolf lineage,
26:21hidden for twenty years
26:22in a death row camp
26:23under dark iron shackles
26:24to protect him
26:24from assassination.
26:25Now,
26:26his shackles were lifted
26:27and he was named
26:28the new crown prince.
26:30Arthur had failed
26:31his duties
26:31for a pretentious omega,
26:33so the king
26:34had no choice
26:35but to bring Fenwon
26:36into the light.
26:37As the priest chanted,
26:39Fenrir's shackles shattered.
26:41His pure,
26:42devastating,
26:42prime alpha aura
26:43swept through the plaza,
26:45forcing every noble
26:46who had mocked him
26:47to their knees.
26:48In my past life,
26:50Arthur had learned
26:51of Fenrir's identity
26:52and used me
26:54as bait
26:54to kill him
26:56with arrows.
26:57But now everything
26:58has changed.
27:00The old alpha king
27:02urged Fendon
27:03not to miss
27:03the blood moon's
27:04auspicious moment.
27:06Fendon's savage hostility
27:08melted into tenderness
27:09as he brushed snow
27:11from my shoulder,
27:12lifted me onto
27:14a massive shadow snow beast.
27:16Arthur finally snapped
27:17out of his daze,
27:18grabbing the reins.
27:19Serena,
27:20don't bond with him!
27:21I'm the one you truly love!
27:22You're just angry
27:23about Allura!
27:23Come down,
27:24I'll beg father
27:25to make you the only lunar!
27:26I didn't even need
27:27to respond.
27:28Fenyo kicked him hard,
27:29sending him flying
27:30ten meters through the snow.
27:31In the blizzard,
27:32the snow beast
27:32carried me into
27:33Fenrock's obsidian fortress.
27:35It was the most remote
27:36yet tallest tower
27:38in the winter keep.
27:39That night,
27:40the blood moon hung high.
27:42Rough black leather
27:43tangled with fine,
27:45dark silver hair.
27:46That night,
27:47the blood moon hung high.
27:49Rough black leather
27:50tangled with fine,
27:51dark silver hair.
27:53And primal,
27:54wild pheromones
27:55wrapped in scorching heat
27:56entirely swallowed me.
27:58The mate mark
27:59pierced deeply
28:00into the scent gland
28:01at the back of my neck.
28:02And the trembling sensation
28:04of our souls intertwining
28:05barely subsided by daybreak.
28:08The next morning,
28:10sore and grumpy,
28:11I watched Fenock walk in
28:13with warm meat stew.
28:15On the battlefield,
28:16he was cold as death.
28:17But in bed,
28:19a crazed wolf.
28:20He chucked,
28:21scooped me up,
28:22and slid an ostidian hairpin
28:24carved with a dark moon
28:25totem into my silver hair.
28:27Since the day you first
28:28smiled at me
28:29on the ice field,
28:30I've wanted to put
28:31this in your hair.
28:32Thinking of his tragic death
28:33in my past life,
28:37I broke down crying
28:38in his arms.
28:39Outside our chamber,
28:40I saw a vast patch
28:42of moonlight revival grass
28:43blooming in the snow.
28:45Your highness,
28:46all of these were planted
28:47by Lord Fenyx personally.
28:49My maid Ivy revealed
28:50that Fenrir had collected seeds
28:52each time he passed
28:53the dark moon forest
28:54and planted them
28:55with his own hands,
28:57afraid I would miss home.
28:59I turned to look at him.
29:01His ears reddened
29:02as he awkwardly looked away.
29:09Later,
29:10we ran into Arthur
29:11and Alara
29:12in the royal corridor.
29:14Arthur was disheveled,
29:15Alara heavily dressed
29:16but exhausted.
29:18Ivy whispered
29:19that Arthur
29:19hadn't marked Alara
29:20at all,
29:21not even touched her.
29:22He had abandoned her
29:24on their mating night.
29:25Arthur stumbled toward me,
29:26eyes desperate.
29:27Last night,
29:28I didn't mark Alara.
29:30I...
29:30I don't care.
29:32I cut him off coldly,
29:33pulled Fenor away.
29:35Arthur tried to grab my cloak,
29:36but Fenor's aura
29:37knocked him down.
29:38Don't go!
29:39Ten years ago,
29:40when I was pushed
29:41into the ice lake,
29:43I overheard Alara
29:44arguing last night.
29:46She wasn't the one
29:46who saved me,
29:47it was you!
29:48You used your pure blood
29:49to save my life!
29:50She stole the credit!
29:51I looked at his agonized face
29:53and sneered.
29:54So what?
29:55Whoever saved you
29:56is whoever you love.
29:57Your love is the truth
29:58and you're disgusted.
29:59Fenric wrapped an arm
30:00around my waist
30:00and led me a leave Arthur
30:01with only a cold back.
30:02After the royal audience,
30:04Fenrir used our marriage
30:05as a pretext
30:06to directly request
30:08a leave of absence
30:09from the old Alpha King.
30:11He didn't trap me
30:12in the lifeless keep.
30:14Instead,
30:14he took me to inspect
30:15the northern defenses
30:16and even escorted me back
30:18to the edges
30:19of the Dark Moon Forest.
30:20In Fenrir's territory,
30:22I didn't need to abide
30:23by royal etiquette.
30:25We could shift into walls
30:27and sprint wildly
30:28through the Black Forest.
30:34Tearing into roasted meat
30:35by the campfire.
30:37This freedom and indulgence
30:38lasted for a whole month
30:40before I returned
30:41to the Obsidian Fortress,
30:42still wanting more.
30:46Ivy eagerly gossiped.
30:48Arthur had begged the king
30:49to revoke our bonding deed.
30:51The king forced him
30:52to kneel in a blizzard.
30:53Arthur had begged the king
30:54to revoke our bonding deed.
30:55The king forced him
30:56to kneel in a blizzard
30:57for eight hours.
30:58Meanwhile,
30:59Allura, desperate,
31:00bought a black market
31:01Aphrodisian and drugged Arthur.
31:03When he woke,
31:03he slapped her,
31:04confined her,
31:05and stripped her privileges.
31:06Now all the northern nobles
31:08laughed at them!
31:10At the Winter Selstice Festival,
31:12I entered in a sleek
31:13crown princess gown,
31:15nourished by Fengor's pheromones,
31:17radiating a dangerous brilliance.
31:19Arthur shoved nobles aside
31:21to reach me.
31:22Serena, forgive me!
31:23I dove into the ice lake
31:24and recrieved all your dowry artifacts,
31:26even the direwolf tooth necklace!
31:28He presented them
31:29like a begging dog.
31:30Then Allura began dry-humping.
31:33Noble women gasped.
31:36Could she be carrying a pup?
31:38Arthur's face twisted in terror,
31:40not joy.
31:41Arthur,
31:42this is what you meant
31:43by you're the only one in my heart.
31:45He panicked,
31:46blaming the Aphrodisian.
31:47Allura tried to cling to him,
31:49but he threw her off.
31:49You caused this
31:50just to disgust, Serena!
31:56The banquet ended.
31:59Arthur blocked our carriage,
32:01eyes bloodshot.
32:02If he dies,
32:04will you return to me?
32:06I slapped him hard,
32:08leaving bloody claw marks
32:10across his face.
32:12You
32:13disgust me.
32:15Fennok lift me into the carriage,
32:17looking at Arthur
32:18like a corpse.
32:20Arthur's venom became real.
32:23Midwinter,
32:24tens of thousands
32:25of feral rogues
32:26attacked the Northern War.
32:27Arthur rallied his faction.
32:29Send Fennok to the front!
32:32Demanding Fennok be sent
32:33to the front lines,
32:34a meat grinder.
32:35I won't stay behind.
32:36I refuse to stay behind.
32:38For six months,
32:40I worked in the infirmary,
32:41using Dark Moon's secret medicine
32:44and my blood to save soldiers.
32:47Earning immense respect.
32:50Six months later,
32:52just before returning
32:53to the capital,
32:54a dying man
32:54was dragged
32:55into my tent.
32:57It was Arthur,
32:58wearing rags,
32:59emaciated,
33:00reeking of rot.
33:03Serena,
33:04I had a nightmare.
33:05Serena,
33:07I had a nightmare.
33:08In the dream,
33:08I ascended the throne.
33:10I nailed you
33:10into a silver coffin,
33:12slaughtered the wolves
33:13of the Dark Moon Forest.
33:15I realized he was under
33:17the Dark Moon Tribe's
33:18forbidden blood curse,
33:19experiencing past life nightmares.
33:22While I was gone,
33:23he had abandoned royal affairs.
33:26Ellara,
33:26desperate for status,
33:28had seduced low-ranking guards
33:29and was caught.
33:30The king had her poisoned.
33:32Arthur,
33:33tormented by nightmares,
33:34dragged himself
33:35to the front lines
33:36to beg my forgiveness.
33:37A few days later,
33:39Arthur died with a wretched wail.
33:41A blood crow flew from his chest
33:43into the Black Forest.
33:44I knew then.
33:46Only my father,
33:47the Dark Moon Tribe's leader,
33:49could cast that curse.
33:50He must also remember
33:51the past life.
33:52Father stepped through
33:53the tent flat.
33:54I burst into tears.
33:57He held me and explained,
33:59When you sacrificed yourself
34:00to awaken the reversal array,
34:02its power awakened me as well.
34:03Myself to activate
34:04the reversal array,
34:06the energy awakened him too.
34:07He had secretly protected me.
34:10During the border uprising,
34:12when Arthur hired assassins
34:13to kill Fenlog,
34:15Father's elite intercepted
34:16them all.
34:17Then he planted the blood curse
34:18to make Arthur relive
34:20the agony
34:20of the Dark Moon Tribe's slaughter.
34:23I watched soldiers
34:24toss Arthur's corpse
34:25into an incinerator,
34:26feeling only peace.
34:29Fenog's arms wrapped around me
34:30from behind,
34:31his voice laced with jealousy.
34:34My Luna,
34:35is another Alpha's corpse
34:37really that interesting?
34:39I want to lock you away
34:40so your eyes see only me.
34:42He nuzzled my neck.
34:44I turned and smiled,
34:45placing his calloused hand
34:47on my bare abdomen.
34:48You don't need chains.
34:50My soul and heart
34:51are already thoroughly
34:52marked by you.
34:53Besides,
34:54you now have
34:55an even stronger bond.
34:57His body went stored,
34:58his eyes dilated.
35:00Fenrir,
35:01we're having a pup.
35:03In this biting northern blizzard,
35:06I had finally grasped
35:07everything I cherished.
35:08Chris
35:08used,
35:08used to Mills trade
