00:05i was carrying life a miracle after the war wounds that had stolen my hope of ever bearing young
00:12it was at today's banquet and celebration for the seventh anniversary of my marriage with alpha
00:17adrian seven years as luna of the moon howler pack seven years since i stopped being princess
00:23rosalina of the silver moon bloodline i held the sacred leaf blessed by the moon bloom tree ready
00:28to tell adrian my mate my husband that we would finally have family true blood kin after my entire
00:35lineage had sacrificed themselves seven years ago to protect the divine moon bloom tree during the
00:39great pack wars adrian's beta lorenzo laughed in munholler dialect alpha having the silver moon
00:46princess wasn't enough now you've got bianca too how's it feel owning the younger sister after the
00:53luna rosalina adrian's scorn vibrated through my chest eyes crept down my spine he answered in the
01:00same tongue thinking me deaf to their words bianca like mother like daughter well always plays well
01:08in the bed he pulled me closer eyes drowning in devotion while his lips curved with amusement
01:14careful lorenzo if my luna heard you she'd be heartbroken lorenzo's smile turned knowing after all
01:21luna comes from the heroic silver moon pack that sacrificed everything to save the moon bloom tree
01:25and broke peace during the wars without her status and your marriage to her your brother norman might
01:32have taken your position you had to give luna rosalina some respect meanwhile bianca's just the
01:39bastard daughter luna pitied enough to bring here the hand at my waist went still the air froze
01:46other warriors pulled lorenzo away laughing nervously alpha adrian forgive him he's drunk
01:52everyone knows you treasure luna above all we'll take him the warmth in my blood crystallized into
02:00winter so that's what my family's extinction meant to them a shiny trophy a bargaining chip for
02:07inheritance rights they didn't know they didn't know that silver moon bloodline carried the moon
02:12goddesses legacy said every wolf tongue became clear as glass when i touched the moon bloom leaf
02:16i forced my face into blank serenity the smile i always wore while my fingers whitened around the
02:22sacred moon bloom leaf i didn't confront them instead i sent word through the leaf to the moon bloom altar
02:29told them i the last of the silver moon line would finally accept their invitation to serve as priestess
02:36to serve the sacred moon bloom tree i am gone he tightened his grip on my waist tender as ever
02:44darling you look pale are you unwell looking into those fathomless green eyes i felt only revulsion
02:51one moment mocking my half sister's eagerness the next playing the devoted husband how long could he
02:57keep this performance running nothing just curious what were you discussing adrian paused but after
03:06just a moment he pinched my cheek with easy affection chuckling territory disputes with the whispers
03:11i didn't want to trouble you which might draw you to the old memories seven years ago so we used
03:17moon how our tongue idiot he had no idea what moon goddess heritage could do i pushed him away
03:24feigning distant grief i need air i didn't wait for his response i walked to the terrace passing envious
03:32glances from other alpha's mates look at our moon howers luna so blessed moon goddess descendant last
03:39princess of silver moon even after seven years alpha adrian throws her these grand celebrations every
03:45year such fortune i'd kill for that position once those words would have made me feel lucky i thought i'd
03:53been given to the best mate in the world when my dying mother entrusted me to him with her dying
03:57breath
03:58now the irony cut like frozen glass no one knew no one ever suspected that this man who swore undying
04:05love saw me as nothing but polished chess for his heritage game that behind closed doors he betrayed me to
04:11deepest point the moon bloom leaf glowed interrupting my thoughts rosalada blessed be the tree you finally
04:19accepted seven years ago when you chose that adrian over priesthood i mourned the waste
04:27come quickly you can say goodbye to your family these next few days ah so sorry
04:35anyway no take backs i'll send transport immediately agreed i kept my voice light so she wouldn't feel my
04:44sorrow but my knuckles had gone bloodless around the leaf seven years ago my pack had summoned the
04:50tree's power to end the wars paying with their lives my mother dying entrusted me to adrian then
04:57i abandoned my path to priesthood to become his luna for seven years he was my only family my only
05:04family
05:04if you didn't count the half sister i'd brought here out of mercy when her house fell the very same
05:09woman who had already spreading herself across my husband's bed now neither of them would be family
05:15anymore hi priestess i won't change my mind send someone now and use your power to erase every
05:21trace of from this moment forward why once erased rosalina silvermoon ceases to exist entirely
05:27you'll abandon every bond to your pack even the link to adrian he already betrayed me we have no link
05:32left once i gave up my path to be the moon bloom priestess the birthright gifted by the moon bloom
05:38tree
05:38due to the maternal bloodline descended from the moon goddess buys and i devoted myself to adrian
05:44after losing everything and received nothing he swore to your mother dust returns to dust the moon
05:51bloom calls you home i high priestess otto decree by the tree's authority rosalina silvermoon is claimed
05:58by the divine moon bloom altum no wolf magic shall find her relief flooded me with the priestess help
06:05i could escape adrian would never track me child you choose this without regret thank you high priestess
06:12from this day luna rosalina is dead once betrayed never forgiven suddenly the familiar male voice came
06:19behind me darling what are you saying about betray and forgive i turned to see adrian's emerald eyes
06:25sharpened with suspicion i summoned my practice gentle smile oh we were chatting over a northern pack story
06:32where the alpha betrayed his luna now she's severing their mate bond and reclaiming territory from the
06:38peace treaty see if he wanted to perform i'd perform with him his gaze raked my face hunting for the
06:45micro expressions that betray wolf emotion finding nothing his shoulders loosened his hand slid to my
06:51waist and a kiss pressed to my temple what a fool betraying one's luna is betraying one's pack
07:00betraying the treaty itself my queen that would never happen to us moon howers what if it did
07:06i looked into those bottomless eyes and smiled thinly rosalina no ifs adrian cut me off i adrian moon
07:15howler swear by pack honor and wolf spirit i will never betray you i haven't forgotten your pack sacrifice
07:23and how your mother's trust of course just hypothetical he went quiet then rubbed his rough
07:29jaw against my cheek ridiculous entangled with my half sister on the one hand while showing me this
07:34faithful love at the other if i betray you curse me that i never find you through all eternity
07:42curse me that my wolf spirit ache for you forever curse me that moon bloom abandoned my blood
07:48you know this rosalina you're my mate my other half without you my wolf would run death towards
07:55the sun but if you ever try to leave me i will hunt you down and bring you back to
08:00me no matter where
08:02you go i didn't answer just simply stepping from his arms the highest altars escort would arrive soon
08:10i was leaving this embrace i'd once craved adrian the punishment you just named will find you soon
08:16enough he gestured his hand alpha everything's ready adrian nodded a mysterious smile curving his lips
08:23he took my hand to the terrace edge suddenly he covered my eyes whispering darling i have something
08:31special for you five four three when he removed his hand the sight stole my breath hundreds of moon
08:41clouds drawn by the trees light danced overhead their silver glow forming my name rosalina adrian
08:47embraced me from behind voice honey sweet seven years married and every day feels like the first
08:52seven years ago your family summoned the tree to end the wars your mother gave you to me with her
08:58last breath that was the most precious duty of my life looking at my name burning in the night sky
09:03i felt a world away seven years from innocent silver moon princess to moon heller luna it changed
09:09enough to turn love to betrayal vows to lies enough to understand that his duty and gratitude had become
09:15chains crushing whatever remained true adrian turned me to face him emerald eyes intent enough to melt stone
09:20seven years and i still want to give you everything your family's sacrifice i will never forget
09:28he leaned down to kiss me the instant before our lips met the leaf at his waist vibrated irritation
09:35flashed across his face that expression i knew so well good saved me the trouble of dodging
09:43damn it i gave clear orders no interruptions tonight let's see which idiot defies their alpha
09:48but when he saw the imprint on the leaf his color changed i glimpsed it bianca's unique signature
09:55i knew it was her adrian cleared his throat tucking the leaf away fingers flying across its surface
10:02i watched clearly as panic flickered in his eyes followed by naked hunger sure enough he turned to
10:09me with perfectly calibrated regret what is it i asked casually nails biting my palm the truth screamed
10:16itself yet some stupid part of me hoped this time he'd choose me whisper pack emergency border conflict
10:24darling i have to step away now i'm sorry i know tonight matters but this is urgent you understand
10:32border stability maintains the peace treaty he kissed my forehead rest i'll return soon i understand
10:43pack comes first i nodded playing the docile luna relief washed over him he hugged me hurriedly
10:51then strode away i stood on the terrace watching him leave my wolf hauled in agony inside me i silenced
10:58her since he had urgent business i'd see exactly how urgent i followed adrian to an estate across town
11:05bianca wore a tight red dress 10 centimeter heels spring fever wild she threw herself into adrian's arms
11:12darling that moon moth display i was so jealous big sister always gets the best just like she got silver
11:21moon's pure bloodline adrian patted her back indulgent greedy little she wolf wasn't your birthday celebration
11:30enough like your mother greedy enough to climb from servant into your father's bed
11:36i promised behave keep our secret from rosalina and you'll have power and status too
11:41her family's extinct just empty reputation now but it's only been seven years since their sacrifice
11:47i have my duty to perform and show some gratitude the words drove through my heart like a thousand claws
11:53i remembered that night adrian claimed he was handling pack traders colluding with whisper pack
11:59gone all night i'd stayed awake terrified my wolf pacing endlessly so this was the trouble he'd been
12:06handling in bed the real traitor was my husband tangled with my half-sister and i his luna was the
12:14fool left in darkness i just envies her my alpha why is she born princess while i'm bastard born
12:21why does her dead family still outrank me there there what can i do you're my treasure
12:27tonight i have a surprise bianca whispered in his ear then tugged his tie adrian's eyes blackened
12:35with desire his wolf surfaced in his gaze what are we waiting for tell me come upstairs and unwrap
12:45your gift yourself in broad evening light adrian swept her up and strode inside bianca's moans drowned
12:51in his devouring kiss the elevator doors closed carrying them to the penthouse suite
12:57i stood in the dark watching them vanish seven years as mates worthless to him his gratitude and
13:05duty so cheap though i'd already known seeing it still carved me hollow tears finally broke free
13:11i remembered our first year adrian had sworn by pack honor every anniversary he'd stay by my side
13:19yet bianca's single message made him abandon that sacred vow i breathed deep forcing down the storm
13:25calming my wolf with pure willpower soon the altar escort would come i'd escape i returned to the
13:32estate locking myself into a guest room my wolf wept perhaps some hours later i heard adrian return
13:39rosalina my luna rosalina he shouted through the master bedroom voice rising to panic
13:47dammit where is she luna luna useless idiots you lost the luna alpha we already searched the master
13:55room luna might have gone out find her right now footsteps approached he searched room by room
14:02his wolf's panic saturating the air when he opened the guest room door i pretended to just wake
14:09seeing me his rage vanished my goddess rosalina you terrified me you came back without telling me
14:16do you know my wolf nearly tore the estate apart i couldn't sleep so changed a room what's wrong
14:23nothing just losing you i was afraid he kissed my hair voice still trembling with residual fear
14:31if you truly cared you wouldn't touch other women wouldn't touch my half-sister i felt unwell
14:38came back early forgot to tell you soaked in his lies long enough i could manufacture my own ones
14:45effortlessly now adrian's face flooded with relief he lay beside me locking me against him like precious
14:52treasure don't do that again losing you would drive me mad my wolf would go feral you know i'd do
14:59anything for you your family's sacrifice and your mother chose me i haven't forgotten i closed my eyes
15:08and he couldn't see the cold smile shown on my lips next morning i prepared an elegant gift box
15:14inside the munheller royal badge symbolizing my luna status and the mate bond severance contract i drafted
15:21and signed through the night adrian your gift for our seventh anniversary he took it eyes bright with
15:26the light and about to open it no wait two days it will be meaningful then he nodded obediently placing
15:34the box carefully in his safe i'll love it yes you would love it then in two days i'd vanish
15:40completely
15:41and this gift would tell him everything i was in search of an unsuspicious excuse to avoid his
15:46energetic kiss when the doorbell rang and saved me from brainstorming so energetic after his affectionate
15:51energy with another woman the door opened speak of the devil here she would come at the door stood
15:57bianca the bastard daughter of my father and the secret mistress of my husband with her face streaked
16:02with tears devastatingly fragile and in front of my eyes she faintly fell her body into adrian's arms
16:09as if i never existed there adrian's face darkened instantly he seized bianca's wrist dragging her to the
16:16back garden are you deaf to my warning i warned you again never show yourself here if your sister
16:23suspects anything you know the consequences my wolf will tear you apart don't forget you and your mother
16:29are silver moon parasites from my view upstairs i watched everything clearly have you lost your mind
16:36want to drag all moon howers down if the peace council learns we're messing with silvermore's last
16:42princess do you know what happens adrian moved like enraged beast wolf flickering in his eyes as he shoved
16:48her bianca took out a diagnosis report from the moon bloom physician even from distance i caught her words
16:54i know i shouldn't come but i'm pregnant the physician said last night was too dangerous
17:02i'm nine weeks high risk now adrian i didn't want to trouble you but i'm afraid this is your first
17:10air
17:10moon hower bloodlines future the next alpha do you want your moon hower blood to die out completely
17:16my sister cannot produce the air you know after the great war's trauma lightning struck me to pieces
17:23my chest hollowed carved out bleeding bianca also carrying pack young i remembered early talks about
17:30bloodlines during the great clan war seven years ago your body was weakened pregnancy would endanger
17:39your life i hope for a love between partners that is pure i believed his devotion but trying so hard
17:46directly only to give him a surprise with my pregnancy however i'd never imagine another pregnancy would
17:52also surprise me now i understood he could casually breed with other women he'd never mind my incapably to
17:59produce children just because he didn't mind me that much as he pretended to be hearing pregnant adrian froze
18:05he stared at bianca's belly confused he'd always been careful how could nine weeks critical stage must be
18:15careful the pup our moon hower air cannot be endangered wait in the car i'll arrange our best moon bloom
18:22physician for full examination bianca's tears turned to smiles she rose on her toes to kiss him adrian's
18:29eyes darkened but he turned slightly away this is moon howler arranged careful besides your priority is protecting
18:35the pup don't alert the peace council don't provoke my wolf he grinned roguishly turning toward the villa i retreated
18:44to
18:44my room resuming my seat at the dressing table nine weeks the first night i noticed him missing i touched
18:51my own flat belly
18:52guilt overwhelming i'm sorry little one your mother was useless couldn't give you a happy family
18:59couldn't give you an alpha father who'd love us both soon adrian entered rosalina i must leave and
19:06handle something the whispers you know possibly targeting our border territory i must deal with
19:12this personally stay at the estate and wait for me i nodded calmly seeing my normal expression he relaxed
19:19kissed my forehead left his performance remained flawless switching between the cheating man and
19:24devoted husband alpha seamlessly i watched him disappear then checked the wall calendar this might
19:31be our final meeting that afternoon the moon bloom leaf blazed unexpectedly on screen a tree physician's
19:37diagnosis a tiny wolf pup curled in a womb then another scene adrian gently cupping bianca's slightly
19:43rounded belly bound to kiss it with reverence that tenderness on his face i'd never seen it
19:48the alpha cherishing his unborn heir the senders left no signatures yet i know it was bianca perhaps
19:55carrying the alpha's air gave my half sister courage to challenge the true luna she didn't know none of it
20:01touched me anymore my heart was a dead silent sea my wolf had gone quiet love dead inside only the
20:09thought of escape remained unsurprisingly the next two days silence from adrian i used the time erasing
20:16every trace from the estate silver moon heirlooms went to the sanctum as donations personal belongings
20:22burned only essentials packed departure day was a rainy day i woke before dawn suitcase ready waiting
20:29for the divine moon bloom altar's transport about to confirm pickup time with the high priestess the
20:34unknown contact sent again sister physician says it's a boy i'm carrying moon hogger's air adrian says
20:42he'll give me in the child status you useless woman who can't bear heirs get out of moon hogger estate
20:47yourself don't forget your silver moon family's dead no one supports you congratulations your dream comes
20:53the moment i sent it transport arrived with resolve i reached moon hogger's tree altar waiting for the
21:01teleportation circle to activate then light flared from the circle before the altar it stood a row of
21:07moon hogger royal guard seven years ago adrian and i had bonded here through rain adrian emerged from inside
21:14the altar house with a black umbrella other hand gripping bianca's she wore white maternity dress
21:20blinding in the downpour they'd just finished blessing the unborn pup as adrian shielded bianca with the
21:26umbrella wind tore the rain curtain he looked up directly at me across the raindrops at where our vows
21:33were witnessed and his lies were shown our eyes met shock confusion terror in his gaze his wolf's agony
21:41reached me even from here his lips moved soundlessly my name i looked away severed our final connection
21:48the moon bloom leaf vibrated endlessly adrian displayed i disabled transmission entirely having
21:55accepted the high priestess maximum protection i must sever all past completely the car passed familiar
22:01streets every inch moon howler territory every memory with adrian now nothing to do with me i removed
22:07the moon bloom leaf threw it from the window damn it tracker sent simultaneously adrian shoves through
22:15crowds ignoring bianca's cry lunging toward where the car had stood but it had merged into traffic
22:20vanished leaving only exhaust and rain wet pavement adrian what is it bianca clutched his sleeve what
22:27happened nothing let's go returned to the car but his wolf howled unease accumulated like stones
22:35rosalina why there should be at the munhauer estate and that look that look terrified him the look of
22:42a wolf of love already gone at the safe house adrian settled bianca upstairs rest here little she
22:48wolf tomorrow the tree physician for thorough examination okay but stay with me i have business
22:55back soon his private leaf rang alpha adrian bad news luna luna rosalina she's gone her scent fading from
23:05the house adrian the house adrian went bloodless gone how explain luna's rooms empty personal items
23:13vanished worse the silver moon heirlooms from her safe important documents even the silver moon family
23:19badge all gone we searched the entire estate not a trace of luna's scent remains as if as if she
23:29never
23:29existed here the mate bond alpha can you still feel it the leaf slipped from adrian's hand crashing down
23:37ice-cold terror consumed him he clutched his chest was the bond still beating or growing fainter hearing
23:44commotion bianca descended you look terrible what happened he turned mechanically wolf flickering with
23:50suppressed rage steward says rosalina's gone i must find her bianca's heart surged with joy her
23:58provocation this morning had worked that high luna rosalina had finally fallen from her throne watching
24:04adrian's departing back she forced down her smile feigning concern to nearby warriors let's return and
24:10wait but inside she hoped more than anyone that adrian would never find me adrian sent transmission
24:16after transmission only cold silence answered the imprint you seek is disabled or temporarily
24:23unalienable rain soaked his suit he didn't care after dozens of failures he floored the accelerator
24:29armored suv bullet streaking through streets the steward trembled to meet him alpha why return adrian
24:37took stairs two at a time bursting into the master bedroom everything erased my existence scoured from
24:43the world empty closet empty vanity air devoid of my presence he charged into my study tree texts gone
24:51desktop leaf gone everything gone alpha we've searched everywhere confirmed luna's possessions all gone
25:02including the silver moon badge adrian stood frozen disbelief drowning his eyes that badge her birthright
25:10never abandoned unless alpha perhaps misunderstanding maybe she left for some unhappiness just
25:17temporary bullshit everyone find the luna now i feel the bond weakening two days ago when he was
25:25leaving she'd seemed normal he thought of bianca's estate visit had something happened no impossible he'd been
25:34careful their conversation in the garden no rosalina upstairs resting his wolf would have sensed it adrian
25:41mobilized moon howler influence across north and south airports train stations border checkpoints
25:46nothing no bank transactions no credit imprints no scent traces anywhere night passed nothing how could she
25:55vanish without warning unless someone shielded her a thought struck could bianca have before finishing
26:01his lieutenant leonardo entered he held a clear bag shattered moon bloom leaf fragments
26:08alpha we found this outside the pack altar luna's leaf pax priest says it might be recoverable adrian
26:14took it hands shaking rosalina would never destroy her own things fix this damn thing now i want answers
26:2220 minutes later the repaired leaf returned screen lit final transmissions displayed first bianca's diagnosis
26:30photo tiny wolf pup second adrian cupping bianca's belly kissing it reverently then bianca's arrogant
26:37challenge sister physician says it's a boy i'm carrying moon hoggers air adrian says he'll give
26:44me and the child status you useless woman who can't bear heirs get out of moon hogger estate yourself
26:49don't forget your silver moon family's dead no one supports you i learned later that single provocation
26:55made adrian understand everything bianca's messages had driven me away his wolf howled in pain and
27:01fury volcanic rage erupted from his chest my only regret missing what came next later through various
27:09pack channels i pieced together that bloody night it's said that adrian drove like madness to bianca's
27:14hidden estate his wolf fully controlled him eyes red when bianca opened the door joy filled her face
27:21thinking he'd finally abandoned me dreaming of becoming next luna adrian taking me home i'll pack
27:27now i knew you couldn't abandon us the moon bloom blessed us the slap cracked across her face before she
27:35finished adrian seized her throat his face black as hell killing intent saturating the air his wolf's
27:42roar echoed in his voice bianca who gave you courage to tell rosalina about us bianca clutched her face
27:50stumbling backward cold sweat drenching her back for the first time she saw death in his eyes she knew
27:57adrian's feelings for me ran deep so she'd stayed docile as secret lover but pregnancy swelled her
28:03ambition who didn't want to be legitimate munhauer luna she'd gambled sent that provocation knowing i'd
28:09leave upon learning truth then everything would be hers but she never expected adrian to see those
28:14messages not stupid enough to confess now she shook her head adrian what are you saying i don't
28:20understand i only want to be with you never competed with sister for position would never send such
28:27messages the moon bloom witnesses my truth i don't know what you're talking about truth truth that you
28:33sent her what truth that you arrogantly announced your pregnancy without seeing those messages he might
28:38have believed her now the glaring text repeated in his mind her lies only deepening the killing intent
28:44he threw the leaf at her feet screen displayed her transmissions facing iron evidence bianca couldn't
28:52deny choking back sobs she grabbed his arm desperate i know i shouldn't but i couldn't bear our pup growing
28:59up bastard born could you watch your bloodline royal moon howard blood air being gossip around my bloodline to
29:04be gossiped no bastard he's worse than bass i found what's between you and norman my wolf smells
29:11lies bianca i warned you luna's position belongs to rosalina always you don't deserve it you and your
29:17mother silver moon parasites clinging to pure bloodlines i kept you for novelty how dare you compare to rosalia
29:25to the one in my heart her family sacrificed ending wars your mother's just a bed climbing servant
29:32if you'd stayed my little she-wolf after birth i'd have provided for you both but you broke my rules
29:39don't blame my cruelty adrian pulled a document from his pocket tree bloodline paternity test seeing
29:46the paper bianca went paper white collapsing stammering how adrian i can explain explain how you passed some
29:57bastard as my heir you betrayed me entangling with my bastard brother and having this bastard pup
30:02my bloodline you and your mother both cheaters no the pup is yours the test is wrong the moon bloom
30:10cursed it wrong i had three different tree physicians test same result know what's most laughable
30:19he crouched finger under her chin i lost the only woman i ever cared about my mate my other half
30:27for
30:27a bastard not even mine for your cheap lies like your mother's bianca new argument is useless despair
30:33filled her eyes on the total madness adrian you're the fool yes the pup isn't yours but that was enough
30:42to
30:42make rosalina believe wasn't it she's gone it wasn't me who drove her away it was you you'll never find
30:50her she'll never forgive you the bond is broken her family's entrustment you'll never repay it
30:56hearing gone adrian's eyes renned wolf fully manifesting you lie rosalia will return i'll apologize
31:05she'll forgive me the bond will heal he roared toward the door mike enter a scarred middle-aged
31:12man entered his wolf dark and vicious moon howler's most ruthless enforcer alpha dispose of her and the
31:19bastard in her belly clean i want no more news of them ever erase their scent from existence as if
31:27they
31:27never existed bianca never imagined such ruthlessness her pleas turned increasingly frantic and sharp
31:36but adrian never looked at her again his wolf had already judged her unworthy of attention
31:41having disposed of the cheating woman adrian threw all energy into finding me but whether through peace
31:48council contacts are activating the collaboration of north and south's networks no trace even his
31:53supernatural council connections found no records as if i never existed the mate bond grew faint
32:01distant impossible adrian's fist smashed the table shattering it his wolf howled in defeat
32:09a living wolf can't vanish a mate can't evaporate then adrian remembered anniversary night my question
32:18his vow if i betray you curse me that i never find you through all eternity curse me that my
32:25wolf spirit
32:26ache for you forever curse me that moon bloom abandoned my blood now his vow became cruel self-fulfillment
32:34he suddenly remembered the elegant gift box i'd given before leaving i told him to open it in two days
32:41the day i vanished my sudden disappearance had scattered his wits he'd forgotten completely in desperation
32:48hope flickered perhaps clues to my location inside perhaps just a lesson waiting somewhere for his
32:55repentance he carefully retrieved the velvet box hands trembling slowly opening inside lay a badge the
33:02moon howler family badge symbolizing our alliance representing my moon howler luna status beside it a mate
33:09bond severance contract my signature prominent at the bottom the moon bloom's blessing retracted in that moment
33:17the bond broken his final fantasy shattered he finally understood this time i was determined to leave
33:24forever i'd rejected the bond ever and forever overwhelming regret drowned him he wanted to strike
33:32himself why had he touched that accursed woman just because pack gossip claimed he owed rosalina his secure
33:38inheritance making him eager to show masculine dominance chained to one woman such alpha life seemed
33:45suffocating at pack gatherings other alphas teasing momentary wavering and finally entanglement with that woman
33:52but he'd never wanted to abandon me in his heart i was always his only queen only luna he'd never
33:59imagined momentary curiosity would destroy seven years of meeting lose his most precious woman lose his other
34:05half moon howler's pack priest dante entered alpha found a clue what clue no clue are you provoking your alpha
34:15alpha you found nothing through pack channels i searched through moon bloom all to secret arts
34:19nothing no clue is the only clue
34:21following dante's gaze they looked toward the south the direction of the divine moon bloom tree
34:27the moon goddess's divine proxy in this world whose blessings wolves depended upon
34:32seven years ago juvenile wolf transformation sickness had sparked the wars as packs fought for tree power to
34:38sustain their bloodlines yet no pack could violate tree territory regardless of the great wars this
34:44was why the silver moon earned respect dying to summon tree power and end the war but for rosalina even
34:50challenging the moon bloom itself even sacrificing everything he would pay any price
34:55meanwhile at the highest sacred altar of the moon bloom tree i worked relentlessly after marrying adrian
35:02i'd been away from tree maintenance for years skills grown rusty unwilling to disappoint the
35:08high priestess i stayed and served beneath the tree constantly intensive maintenance consumed all time
35:14leaving no energy for thoughts of that world full of betrayals and lies i together with my fellow
35:20priestesses dedicated to the tree completely we worked toward keeping the moon bloom vibrant blessing
35:26juvenile wolf's transformations only pious cooperation no betrayal or deception no dominant struggles for pack
35:33hierarchy unconsciously unconsciously the year's greatest full moon eve arrived our first maintenance phase
35:39finally broke through the moon bloom radiated unprecedented light everyone rejoiced as we prepared
35:46celebration the high priestess voice came through the leaf summoning all core priests to the council
35:51chamber to meet an important new patron wearing my daily priestess robe i entered the chamber never imagined
35:58the face in the center was the one i most wished never to see again adrian moon howler the maid
36:04i've loved
36:04destined partner then the betrayer now the wolf king i wanted erased from memory the high priestess seated
36:11adrian prominently introducing this generous patron to everyone only then did i learn this alpha had donated
36:17nearly all moon howler packs lunar sacred artifacts and invested almost as everything in our tree maintenance
36:22project solely to gain the altar's access solely to find me i forced composure face blank staring at the
36:31screen my long silent wolf stirred uneasily mr moon hopper has made the largest single donation in our
36:38maintenance project's history may the tree bless his generality the chamber erupted in applause cheering for
36:45this massive resource injection his patronage will accelerate the moon bloom's radiance restoration
36:51everyone please attend tonight's welcome banquet that evening i had no choice i attended i wore simple
36:59white priestess robes ordinary daily attire for tree service adrian stood at the banquet center wearing
37:05tailored royal robes thinner hollow-eyed but those emerald eyes remained sharp as ever his wolf radiated
37:12unmistakable despair throughout the banquet i completely ignored his existence focusing on maintenance
37:19discussions with those around me yet i clearly felt that heavy burning gaze following me constantly
37:25i sensed the shadow of our dead bond trying to reconnect after the banquet i hurried toward the
37:31dormitory area only to be blocked at the corridor corner adrian stood before me two cautious moon bloom
37:38guards behind i'd known this moment would come i turned facing those eyes i'd once loved now loathed
37:45voice ice cold what are you doing here rosalina i finally found you do you know what i sacrificed to
37:52find you i liquidated moon howler assets searched every pack for lunar sacred artifacts just to step
37:58into this place and find you my wolf is dying without you the moon bloom no longer answers my prayers
38:05when you left why didn't you tell me i searched like mad mobilized all networks across the north and
38:11south i'm rattles every pack contact i'm no longer rosalina moonhower nor your luna you have no reason
38:18to find me the mate bond is severed you have moon howers to lead find a new luna one who
38:25can bear your
38:25heirs one who won't remind you of silver moon's duty debts i know i was wrong i shouldn't have touched
38:31that
38:31cheater bianca and the pup i've disposed of them they're gone come home rosalina where you belong
38:39my wolf needs you moon howlers needs you your family's entrustness i haven't repaid hearing him
38:45casually say disposed of my half-sister ice filled me this man's coldness exceeded imagination this was
38:52the alpha i'd loved i even began doubting seven years married had i ever truly known him adrian
38:59from the moment you started cheating we ended the moon bloom witnessed your betrayal
39:05i don't know how you found me but i erased my identity evaporated from the world isn't that clear
39:12enough i want nothing more to do with your world with moon howlers world my family's sacrifice shouldn't
39:20be your betrayal's bargaining chip i responded coldly turning to leave adrian stood frozen voice carrying
39:28humility i'd never heard an alpha begging but i know i was wrong just that once i swear by wolf
39:34spirit
39:36forgive me i swear besides you no other she-wolf will share my den no other she-wolf will share
39:42my
39:42territory i'll spend my life for paying silver moon's entrustness infidelity isn't mistake it's choice
39:48and i never tolerate betrayal not once in my eyes you're already dead besides blood debt now divides us
39:57however unworthy bionica was she was my half-sister you killed her i'll never forgive the murderer my
40:04wolf will never accept you again your debt to my family ends here the pup wasn't mine rosalita tree
40:12paternity test proved it i don't want to hear it doesn't matter anymore just then the two altar guards
40:19approached sir this is core maintenance area you must leave immediately i exhaled relief turning toward
40:26my room my wolf fell silent again just as i was closing my door a heart-rending cry came from
40:32behind
40:33half-human half-wolf howl rosalina if i hadn't touched her if i'd stopped everything in time
40:40would you have stayed given me another chance my steps paused i didn't turn back didn't answer i closed
40:50the door shutting out that world of betrayal and lies completely after all in this world there are no
40:56ifs only choices and consequences and i had already found my own path without him without mun howlers
41:05without wolf bonds that night i fell asleep smiling on the right track i was meant to go for to
41:11be
41:12priestess of the moon bloom true inheritor of silver moon shouldering my identity as the last moon goddess
41:17descendant
