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05:11Sensing my stare, he quickly withdrawn his eyes, a flash of impatient disperse crossing his face.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