00:00:03on the night my husband died saving me his last words were if there is a next life leave me
00:00:09be
00:00:09with Jade so when I woke up back on the day I begged my father to let me marry him
00:00:16I chose
00:00:17someone else instead my first mating ceremony with Vincent I learned the true weight of hatred
00:00:25before the silver moon god princess Lydia and Beta Vincent shall mark one another bite the neck
00:00:32and seal your bond as mates till death do you part my heart pounded so hard I could hear it
00:00:39in my ears
00:00:40I stepped forward my legs barely supporting me and leaned toward Vincent's neck a silver moon mark
00:00:45appeared on his wrist the first sign that the bond was forming that the goddess had blessed our union
00:00:50Vincent lowered his head as if to return the gesture but he did not bite me and then he whispered
00:00:55you
00:00:55forced Jade to marry the alpha of the snow wolf pack and now you're forcing me to mate with you
00:01:02I hate you Lydia I will never love you I froze the hopeful smile on my face slowly disappeared
00:01:08replaced by shock and heartbreak so profound I thought I might shatter into pieces right there
00:01:12on the altar Vincent straightened the silver moon mark on his wrist the mark that should have bound
00:01:17us together for eternity shattered into fragments of light and faded away without another word he
00:01:22turned and walked away from the altar Vincent come back I called after him my voice breaking but he
00:01:29didn't turn around he didn't even slow down I stood there in my beautiful silver gray gown surrounded by
00:01:35hundreds of staring eyes and felt my world collapse Vincent loved my stepsister he always had and I was
00:01:41just the woman standing in their way that night while I stood humiliated at my own mating ceremony
00:01:46my stepsister Jade met a far worse fate in the snow wolf territory far from our forest Jade lay pinned
00:01:52to
00:01:52a glowing blood red magic circle several snow wolves clamped their jaws onto her arms and legs holding her
00:01:58down as she struggled in agony blood poured from her wounds as the ritual began the magic circle
00:02:03erupted with blinding crimson light around her the snow wolf clan stood in human form a silver moon crest
00:02:09appeared on each of their foreheads then shattered into glowing fragments and disappeared the curse
00:02:14that bound them the curse my ancestors had placed on them centuries ago had been lifted the snow wolves
00:02:19burst into tears of relief and joy but their expression soon turned cold as they looked down at Jade
00:02:24trembling on the ground one by one they transformed into wolves and descended upon her Jade screams echoed
00:02:29through the night as the pack tore her apart the snow wolves killed Jade on her arrival they drained her
00:02:34blood to cure their curse then they devoured her until nothing remained for eight years after that
00:02:40night hatred was all there was between Vincent and me we fought constantly we clashed in pack meetings
00:02:45in training in every aspect of our lives two wolves colliding in the violent fight over and over again
00:02:51me the silver gray him the dark brown we fought and slammed into each other with savage force until one
00:02:56of us finally pinned the other usually it was him I would shift back into human form and press my
00:03:01hand
00:03:01against whatever wound I'd earned in the latest battle watching him disappear into the distance with
00:03:05tears filling my eyes eight years of hatred eight years of loving someone who would never love me
00:03:10back when the war with the snow wolves finally began Vincent swore to avenge Jade but the snow wolves
00:03:15were too strong and soon the forest was filled with the corpses of our kin I was in human form
00:03:20covered in
00:03:20wounds and surrounded by snow wolves closing in for the kill I had accepted my fate after eight years of
00:03:26misery death almost seemed like a relief suddenly a brown wolf burst through the pack it was Vincent
00:03:31he threw me onto his back and raced through the forest as the snow wolves pursued us I clung to
00:03:36his fur
00:03:36too weak and shocked to do anything else Vincent reached the ancient altar the same altar where we had
00:03:41almost become mates eight years ago and shifted into human form I slid down from his back struggling
00:03:46to stand without hesitation Vincent drew a blade and cut open his own chest blood poured down his body
00:03:52I stared at him in shock Vincent what are you doing drops of his blood fell onto the altar and
00:03:58a
00:03:58crimson magic circle appeared beneath my feet a transparent barrier rose around me sealing the
00:04:03inside I rushed forward and pounded against the barrier but it would not break I'm teleporting you
00:04:08out with my life considerate repayment for the years you loved me but if there is a next life
00:04:15leave me be with jaded
00:04:19I screamed that the snow wolves had arrived at the altar Vincent turned to face them alone the wolves
00:04:25leaped onto him and tore into his body claws ripped through flesh and blood splashed across the stone
00:04:30altar I slammed my fists against the barrier as my body slowly began to fade Vincent I never imagined you
00:04:37would die to save me if there truly is another life I will never chase after you again my body
00:04:43dissolved into light and disappeared within the magic circle a single tear mixed with blood fell
00:04:47onto the altar the crimson circle suddenly turned gold erupting with a brilliant light that flooded
00:04:52the forest I opened my eyes I was standing in the middle of the silver moon palace my father was
00:04:57looking down at me sullen and mighty and Jade Jade who should have been dead for eight years
00:05:02gazed at me with hatred wait I thought my mind reeling I'm actually back to the day when I begged
00:05:08father to make Vincent my mate Lydia my father said his voice heavy with authority the snow wolves demand
00:05:14a daughter of mine to mate with their alpha and lift the curse for them if we say no there
00:05:20will be a war
00:05:20we can't win are you still sure you are turning down the offer to marry Vincent I stared at him
00:05:27my heart
00:05:28pounding this is it this is the moment everything changes in my previous life I had insisted on marrying
00:05:34Vincent I had manipulated and bagged and cried until my father gave in and what had it gotten me
00:05:40eight years of hatred eight years of misery and Vincent dying to save me only because he felt
00:05:45obligated no more father I've changed my mind I will fulfill my duty and marry the snow wolf alpha
00:05:55Jade suddenly looked up staring at me in disbelief haven't you always wanted to marry Vincent
00:05:59what changed your mind what are you planning I met her gaze without flinching I'm not planning
00:06:05anything but I do have one condition my father's eyes narrowed with suspicion what condition keep it
00:06:12secret till the day of the mating ceremony a flicker of excitement crossed Jade's face sure I have no
00:06:19problem with that consider it my repayment for Vincent saving my life in our last life I thought it will
00:06:25also be the final chapter between us and this one my father sighed very well in five days the two
00:06:31of
00:06:31you will hold their mating ceremonies with your destined partners I will have the preparations
00:06:38arranged I lowered my gaze with a bitter smile destined partners my father has never cared about
00:06:44my happiness between Jade and me he has always favored the daughter my stepmother gave him the palace
00:06:50doors opened and I stepped outside the first thing I saw was Vincent kneeling in the pouring rain his
00:06:54back straight and unmoving it's him just like before even in this life he was here begging for
00:07:00Jade on his knees in my previous life I had reacted with theory I had ordered him taken away had
00:07:06watched
00:07:06him struggle and scream as the attendants dragged him off let me go I had made everything worse this
00:07:14time would be different I walked toward Vincent with an umbrella the rain pounding heavily around us
00:07:19he looked up at me frowning slightly then quickly looked away why are you here Vincent have you
00:07:25ever thought about something if Jade doesn't go then the one who must go is me his expression remained
00:07:33cold as long as you don't interfere I can lead the army and conquer the snow wolf pack myself
00:07:39then neither of you will have to marry that brute I let out a soft almost amused laugh he still
00:07:47doesn't understand the snow wolves are too strong in my previous life they nearly destroyed us then I
00:07:53wish you will get what you wish for I let out a cold laugh and walked away from Vincent beneath
00:07:58my
00:07:58umbrella when he sees Jade instead of me when the veil is lifted he will be so happy Vincent you
00:08:03saved
00:08:04my life in our last life in this one I've repaid that debt we are clear behind me I could
00:08:10feel this
00:08:10surprised stare on my retreating figure she used to always make a scene for this he was probably
00:08:15thinking why is she so calm today let him wonder it didn't matter anymore night fell and I sat on
00:08:22my
00:08:22bed preparing to sleep the events of the day had exhausted me emotionally even if my body wasn't tired
00:08:27being back in this time seeing Vincent so young and full of hatred for me it was harder than I
00:08:32had
00:08:32expected suddenly loud and chaotic pounding erupted at my door I frowned and walked over to open it
00:08:38the moment the door opened Vincent shoved me back against it his eyes glowed red and the heavy smell of
00:08:44alcohol clung to him Lydia why did you have to send Jade to the snow wolf pack you you met
00:08:50the alpha
00:08:51to your order you manipulated the alpha to give the order Vincent let go you're hurting me the snow wolf
00:08:59pack has a blood feud with us they have suffered under the curse from our ancestors for centuries
00:09:07what do you think they will do to Jade once the curses lift is that what you want you want
00:09:12your sister
00:09:13dead he tightened his grip on my shoulders his fingers digging into my flesh jealous vicious
00:09:18woman like you doesn't deserve anyone's love do you really think forcing me to mate with you will
00:09:25make me subvert dream on I froze my eyes reddening as I stared at him in disbelief that look of
00:09:32hatred
00:09:33on his face it's exactly the same as the day we turned our swords against each other in our last
00:09:37life
00:09:37a bitter smile crossed my lips I lifted my hand and released a burst of magic Vincent was thrown
00:09:43several meters away crashing to the ground before barely managing to kneel blood dripped from the
00:09:48corner of his mouth Vincent don't forget your place he wiped the blood from his lips with his knuckle and
00:09:55looked up at me in stunned silence Vincent slowly stood the alcohol haze in his eyes faded slightly as
00:10:00his mind cleared he walked closer to me his gaze fell on the red mark along my neck the mark
00:10:06his grip had
00:10:06left his throat tightened and a flicker of regret crossed his eyes I pressed a hand against my shoulder
00:10:11biting back the pain as I stared at him I'm sorry I've had too much to drink I turned away
00:10:18from him my
00:10:19expression cold on the day of the mating ceremony you will get what you want now please leave I turned
00:10:26to
00:10:26go back inside his hand shot out and grabbed my wrist let me take you to the witch doctor she
00:10:32can
00:10:32treat your injury I glanced back his concern appeared genuine genuine concern or guilt memories
00:10:40flooded my mind unbidden I was young kneeling among a field of bright flowers picking a red blossom
00:10:45the pollen suddenly corroded my skin the flesh on my palm and legs began to blister and bleed I burst
00:10:51into tears young Vincent ran toward me as fast as he could Lydia don't be afraid he rushed through
00:10:56the poisonous flowers and lifted me onto his back carrying me out of the field his own skin was
00:11:01burned and bleeding from the corrosion I watched him with tearful gratitude then another memory young
00:11:07Vincent and I were suddenly attacked by a horned beast in the forest Vincent stepped in front of me
00:11:11to shield me the creature slammed into him sending him crashing to the ground as he caught that blood
00:11:17other brown wolves rushed in and drove the beast away I knelt beside Vincent crying as I held him
00:11:23he gently wiped away my tears as long as you're safe
00:11:30after my mother died Vincent always looked after me he always protected me even risking his own life
00:11:36I fell for him and thought he was my savior but then Jade appeared Jade and I trained with several
00:11:41young pack members under the guidance of the pack witch Jade suddenly smirked and secretly cast a spell
00:11:46toward me
00:11:51I was struck and immediately retaliated in anger
00:11:57Vincent rushed over
00:11:58I watched in heartbreak as Vincent carried her away
00:12:10Jade looked back over his shoulder smiling mockingly at me after Jade appeared I finally
00:12:16understood everything Vincent had done for me was only repayment for the kindness my mother once
00:12:21showed him I mistook it for love and clung to that illusion for an entire lifetime I looked at
00:12:25Vincent for a long moment it's time to let go there's no need he stared at me in surprise she
00:12:33has
00:12:33never looked at me like this before why does it feel like she's become a completely different person
00:12:37today just then Jade appeared Vincent the moment he saw her his expression softened
00:12:43Vincent what about the wolf fang charms you promised to make for me he took a small cloth patch from
00:12:48his
00:12:49coat and opened it right here revealing many golden wolf fang charms of different shapes
00:12:54Jade's eyes widened with amazement
00:12:58Vincent you're incredible well you must have made these for lots of people right no I only make them for
00:13:06people I care about
00:13:06Vincent lowered his head as he took out one charm and fastened it around Jade's neck
00:13:10my eyes locked onto the wolf fang charm my chest rose and fell sharply as a ringing sound filled my
00:13:15ears
00:13:16my mother sat on a large round stone beside a silver wolf statue deep in the forest
00:13:21suspended in the air before her was a wolf fang engraved with runes
00:13:26with her eyes closed she chanted softly weaving magic into the fang
00:13:31young Vincent and I stood nearby watching curiously
00:13:35my mother smiled and placed the wolf hand charm into my little hands
00:13:40I clapped happily and laughed a white coffin rested in the forest
00:13:44my mother lay inside I knelt on the ground beside it crying uncontrollably
00:13:48standing next to me young Vincent gently pressed a wolf fang charm into my hand
00:13:52his own hands were covered in fresh wounds
00:13:54it was my mother who taught Vincent the spell to enchant the charm
00:13:57she used to make many charms to protect me
00:13:59after her death Vincent took her place
00:14:01Vincent carefully dripped his blood onto a wolf fang preparing another charm
00:14:05suddenly I rushed in and snatched it from his hands
00:14:07I clenched my fist tightly and the wolf fang crumbled into glittering particles of light
00:14:12you are not making charms for her
00:14:14that's enough how long are you going to keep bullying Jade
00:14:16Vincent stared at me with open disgust
00:14:19he turned and walked away without another word
00:14:21I stood frozen as tears welled in my eyes
00:14:23the synod have you forgotten
00:14:25my mother died because of Jade's mother
00:14:27in the present Jade glanced deliberately toward me with a provocative smile
00:14:32Jade doesn't even like those shows to his charms
00:14:35this is just her way to provoke me
00:14:38my hands clenched into fists
00:14:41I turned and shut the door behind me
00:14:43at the same moment I turned away Vincent looked up
00:14:46why did Lydia leave
00:14:48is she mad at me
00:14:50Vincent watched my back for a long moment deep in thought
00:14:52Vincent you despise me so much
00:14:55don't worry in three days you and I will never have to see each other again for good
00:15:00inside the magnificent palace hall
00:15:02nobles dressed in luxurious attire mingled and danced beneath glittering chandeliers
00:15:07at the center of the crowd Jade stood with red hidden eyes
00:15:11crying softly as several guests gathered around her in sympathy
00:15:15after tonight's farewell a banquet
00:15:17you'll be sent to marry our enemy
00:15:18the brutal snow wolf king
00:15:20and as your sister
00:15:21all Lydia cares about is her marriage with Vincent
00:15:24she's even forcing him to mate with her
00:15:26she's ridiculous
00:15:27Jade
00:15:28we'll miss you so much
00:15:30I am a princess of the silver moon pack
00:15:32the pack must come before my personal feelings
00:15:34if the marriage can put a stop to the bloodshed between us
00:15:37then it shall be done
00:15:38you've got such a big heart
00:15:39how can Lydia miss out on your farewell party
00:15:41this is outrageous
00:15:42maybe she doesn't deserve to be the princess of silver moon pack after all
00:15:46talking behind my back
00:15:48I entered the hall dressed in an elegant gown
00:15:51my presence sharp and commanding
00:15:52I walked straight through the crowd
00:15:54until I stood before Jade and the gossing nobles
00:15:57who are you to judge me
00:16:00I drained the wine in my glass in one motion and turned
00:16:03leaving the banquet alone
00:16:05near the silver wolf statue in the garden
00:16:07I paused beside it
00:16:08trying to clear the alcohol from my head
00:16:10sister
00:16:11I know you decided to take my place
00:16:13and go to the snow wolf pack instead
00:16:15but that was your own choice
00:16:16I never forced you
00:16:17behind me
00:16:18Vincent quietly appeared
00:16:19watching from a distance
00:16:20Jade noticed him
00:16:21a cold smile briefly curled at the corner of her lips
00:16:24she placed a hand over her chest
00:16:25because I stood between them
00:16:27Vincent could not see what Jade was doing
00:16:28she secretly cast a spell
00:16:30suddenly my arm moved against my will as if guided by an invisible hand
00:16:33a bolt of lightning magic struck toward Jade
00:16:35Vincent reacted instantly
00:16:37he cast a spell that slammed into me
00:16:40Vincent rushed forward and pulled Jade protectively into his arms
00:16:43he glared furiously at me
00:16:45enough
00:16:45his teeth ground together with anger
00:16:48I thought you were only a bit childish
00:16:50but this is too much
00:16:52you are pure evil
00:16:53you almost killed Jade
00:16:55and for what?
00:16:56if your mother were still alive
00:16:58she would be utterly ashamed
00:17:00to see what you've become
00:17:02Vincent
00:17:02my hand lifted
00:17:04as magic gathered in my palm
00:17:07Vincent raised his hand as well
00:17:09we faced each other
00:17:11in open confrontation
00:17:12while the surrounding guests stared in shock
00:17:15in our previous life
00:17:16during the 8 years after we didn't marry
00:17:18we argued over Jade countless times
00:17:20but we never truly tried to hurt each other
00:17:22I raised my hand higher
00:17:23but this time
00:17:24golden light burst from my palm
00:17:26and shot toward Vincent
00:17:27his eyes widened in shock
00:17:28around us
00:17:29the crowd gasped in disbelief
00:17:31suddenly I coughed up blood
00:17:33the golden light in my hand flickered
00:17:34and dissolved just inches before reaching Vincent
00:17:36my legs gave out beneath me
00:17:38my legs gave out beneath me
00:17:40I fell forward
00:17:41but landed in a firm pair of arms
00:17:44Lydia
00:17:44what's wrong with you?
00:17:46for a brief moment
00:17:47panic flashed across his face
00:17:49with the last of my strength
00:17:51I grabbed his collar
00:17:52and clenched it tightly
00:17:52you have no right to speak
00:17:54about my mother
00:17:59Lydia
00:18:00Lydia
00:18:02Vincent
00:18:03I
00:18:03Vincent did not stop
00:18:05his attention remained entirely on me
00:18:07as he strode away
00:18:08leaving Jade behind
00:18:09Jade's expression darkened instantly
00:18:12Lydia
00:18:13you're already going to marry our enemy
00:18:15and walk to your own death
00:18:17yet you're still trying to deal Vincent from me
00:18:19the next thing I knew
00:18:21I was lying weakly on my bed
00:18:23barely conscious as the witch doctor finished casting a healing spell and quietly left the room
00:18:28I slowly opened my eyes
00:18:30the first thing I saw was Vincent standing beside the bed
00:18:33waiting with visible guilt in his expression
00:18:34in our previous life
00:18:36Vincent never came to see me on his own
00:18:38even when I was gravely ill
00:18:40he only sent someone to summon a healer
00:18:42he avoided me as if I were a plague
00:18:44why are you here
00:18:45I'm sorry
00:18:48there's no need for apologies between us anymore
00:18:51leaf
00:18:52I closed my eyes
00:18:54behind me
00:18:55a sharp sound suddenly echoed through the room
00:18:57Vincent had slapped himself hard across the face
00:18:59moments later
00:19:01the sound of his footsteps faded
00:19:02the door opened
00:19:04then closed
00:19:05only then did I fully open my eyes again
00:19:07Vincent
00:19:07you will be free very soon
00:19:09in just a few days
00:19:10you will finally marry the woman you have loved through both lifetimes
00:19:14after that
00:19:15you will never have to see me again
00:19:17and I will never have to suffer for you anymore
00:19:19moonlight
00:19:20outlined Vincent's tall figure standing outside my door
00:19:24he remained there
00:19:25motionless
00:19:26for two days and nights
00:19:28inside my room
00:19:30I opened
00:19:30a silver jewel box
00:19:32encrusted with diamonds
00:19:33inside rested a wolf hand charm
00:19:36the one Vincent had made for me long ago
00:19:38before Jade
00:19:39before everything changed
00:19:41through the window
00:19:41I glanced toward Vincent
00:19:43standing outside
00:19:44since that night
00:19:46Vincent has stood outside my door for two days and nights
00:19:49but I haven't let him in
00:19:50Lydia
00:19:51I will marry you
00:19:53I will spend the rest of my life making up for what I did to hurt you
00:19:57I swear it in the name of the goddess of the moon
00:19:59I raised my hand and quietly cast a spell
00:20:03inside the room
00:20:04the lights dimmed instantly
00:20:06Vincent waited outside for a moment longer
00:20:09then
00:20:09realizing I would not answer him
00:20:12he finally turned and walked away
00:20:13I heard his footsteps fade
00:20:15a single tear slipped down from the corner of my eye
00:20:18he has no idea
00:20:19tomorrow I will take my sister's place and marry the snow wolf alpha
00:20:23I will mate with our enemy
00:20:24with little chance to survive
00:20:26the woman he will marry is Jade
00:20:28deep within the silver moon packs forest
00:20:30white roses bloomed everywhere on the day of the mating ceremonies
00:20:33the ceremonial grounds were lavishly decorated
00:20:36and a crowd gathered around the central altar
00:20:38as that's cantricion of the stallions of Wisingun Ascendions
00:20:41at the boundary where the forest met the snow fields
00:20:44I stood alone
00:20:45I turned back to look at the dense forest behind me
00:20:48my eyes filled with quiet reluctance
00:20:50by now
00:20:51Vincent has probably received the surprise I left for him
00:20:54Vincent, what I owed you from our last life has been repaid
00:20:57a pack of snow white wolves emerged from the snowy plain and approached me
00:21:02their eyes fierce
00:21:03you longer belong to the forest
00:21:05come with us
00:21:08I turned back calmly and walked toward them
00:21:11was lifted a veil over my face
00:21:13then climbed onto the back of one of the wolves
00:21:15in the distance
00:21:16a brown wolf burst from the forest
00:21:18racing toward us at full speed
00:21:20the wolf skidded to a halt before the snow wolves but was quickly surrounded
00:21:24with no other choice
00:21:26it shifted into human form
00:21:27it was Vincent
00:21:28I turned and saw his face
00:21:30shock flooded my expression
00:21:32Vincent, what is he doing here?
00:21:34I sat atop the snow wolf
00:21:36my face hidden beneath the veil
00:21:38isn't he supposed to be at the altar with Jade
00:21:40preparing for the mating ceremony?
00:21:42what is he doing here?
00:21:43Vincent spotted me and immediately rushed forward
00:21:46the snow wolves beside me surged ahead as one
00:21:48walking his path and snarling fiercely
00:21:50Vincent Armand
00:21:52one more step
00:21:53and the snow wolf army will charge into your land and
00:21:57tear your clan apart
00:21:59Vincent gritted his teeth and stopped
00:22:01but his eyes remained fixed on me
00:22:03filled with reluctance and aching affection
00:22:05let me escort you
00:22:07I remained silent
00:22:09are you mad at me for marrying your sister?
00:22:12I froze slightly
00:22:13so he thinks I'm Jade
00:22:15and he got here early for her
00:22:17guess the big surprise hasn't reached him yet
00:22:20but this is a debt I owe her
00:22:22I owe it to her mother
00:22:24I had no other choice
00:22:26Jade, forgive me, please
00:22:27beneath my veil toll-like her veil
00:22:30I let out a bitter smile
00:22:31I'm sorry I couldn't stop this marriage
00:22:35but one day I will lead an army
00:22:38crush the snow wolf pack
00:22:40and bring you back safe and unharmed
00:22:42believe me
00:22:44Vincent Armand
00:22:45back away now
00:22:47or your life ends here
00:22:50take me
00:22:51the snow wolf snarled again
00:22:53and forced Vincent backward
00:22:54before turning as one
00:22:56they sprinted across the snow field
00:22:58and disappeared into the distance
00:22:59behind us
00:23:00Vincent chased a few desperate steps
00:23:02before stopping
00:23:03Jade aid!
00:23:05Vincent walked back toward the forest in a daze
00:23:08each step feeling heavy
00:23:09if I had tried just a little harder
00:23:11maybe Jade wouldn't have had to go
00:23:13he was probably thinking
00:23:14she must hate me for this
00:23:16but there's nothing I could do
00:23:18he returned to the ceremonial altar
00:23:19deep within the forest
00:23:21the gathered guests were visibly exhausted
00:23:23from waiting
00:23:23when they saw Vincent return
00:23:25many of them let out quiet sighs of relief
00:23:28Vincent
00:23:28your behavior is outrageous
00:23:31you kept all these people waiting
00:23:33left my daughter standing here humiliated
00:23:35is this a message to my house?
00:23:38Vincent knelt halfway in a formal salute
00:23:40accepting the reprimand without protest
00:23:42Jade quickly reached for my father's arm
00:23:44and gently shook her head at him
00:23:46coaxing
00:23:49forget it let's begin
00:23:50Vincent took a deep breath
00:23:51and slowly walked up onto the altar
00:23:53he stopped in front of Jade
00:23:54regret filled his face
00:23:56the witch raised her staff
00:23:58and chanted an incantation
00:23:59the moon god be our witness
00:24:02princess Jade and Beta Vincent
00:24:04shall mark one another
00:24:06with the bite of a mate bond
00:24:07from this moment on
00:24:10your souls are bound
00:24:11till death do you part
00:24:15under my father's stern gaze
00:24:16and the expectant eyes of the guests
00:24:18Jade stepped closer to Vincent
00:24:19Vincent closed his eyes
00:24:20and tilted his head slightly
00:24:21fists clenched tightly
00:24:24this is it
00:24:25Jade and I will finally become
00:24:26destined mates
00:24:27Jade removed her veil
00:24:28and bit down on Vincent's neck
00:24:30that instant
00:24:30a silver moon mark
00:24:31appeared on Vincent's wrists
00:24:33Jade tilted her head
00:24:34watching him with anticipation
00:24:36Vincent opened his eyes
00:24:37and lowered his head
00:24:38to look at her
00:24:39the moment he saw her face
00:24:41he froze
00:24:41shock flooded his expression
00:24:43what Jade
00:24:45Vincent stared at Jade in disbelief
00:24:48why is it you
00:24:50Jade avoided his gaze
00:24:51her expression shy and hesitant
00:24:53I don't know why either
00:24:55yesterday my sister
00:24:56she said you willing
00:24:57to go to the snow wolf pack
00:24:58so
00:24:59Vincent's eyes widened
00:25:00what did you say
00:25:01the one marrying into
00:25:02the snow wolf pack
00:25:03is Lydia
00:25:04he suddenly grabbed Jade
00:25:05by the shoulders
00:25:06his hands trembling
00:25:07and that woman
00:25:08the one taken away
00:25:10by the snow wolves alone
00:25:11I'm sorry I couldn't stop you
00:25:13from marrying our enemy
00:25:15but listen
00:25:16one day I will lead an army
00:25:18crush those snow wolves
00:25:19and make them beg for life
00:25:20beneath our feet
00:25:21I will bring you back
00:25:23safe and sound
00:25:25trust me
00:25:27behind the veil
00:25:28she gave a bitter smile
00:25:30time to go
00:25:32the snow wolf snarled
00:25:34and forced him back
00:25:34before turning his one
00:25:35and sprinting away
00:25:36he chased after them
00:25:37a few desperate steps
00:25:39Jade
00:25:41Vincent suddenly bolted
00:25:43from the altar platform
00:25:44midst right
00:25:45he transformed into a wolf
00:25:46and sprinted toward
00:25:47the snow fields
00:25:48at full speed
00:25:50but he was already gone
00:25:53his voice echoing
00:25:54with anguish and regret
00:25:55inside the snow wolf palace
00:25:57the halls were built
00:25:58entirely from ice
00:25:59and packed snow
00:25:59cold and gleaming
00:26:00beneath pale light
00:26:01I walked slowly
00:26:02into the grand hall
00:26:03every snow wolf present
00:26:04stared at me
00:26:05with undisguised hatred
00:26:06low murmurs
00:26:07rippled through the crowd
00:26:08at the far end of the hall
00:26:09sat the ice throne
00:26:10upon it lounged
00:26:11Damien Wraith
00:26:12white hair
00:26:13loose curls
00:26:13and a white cloak
00:26:15draped across his shoulders
00:26:16his gaze rested on me
00:26:17as though he were
00:26:18looking at a corpse
00:26:19I opened my mouth
00:26:20to speak
00:26:21but Damien attacked
00:26:22I instantly sensed
00:26:24the killing intent
00:26:24my eyes sharpened
00:26:26with a flash of magic
00:26:27a long sword
00:26:28appeared in my hand
00:26:29just in time to
00:26:30block the wolf claws
00:26:30of Damien
00:26:31who lunged at me
00:26:32in his wolf form
00:26:32in the blink of an eye
00:26:34we exchanged
00:26:34several rapid strikes
00:26:36Damien shifted back
00:26:37into human form
00:26:38the earlier contempt
00:26:39in his eyes faded slightly
00:26:40replaced by a flicker
00:26:41of interest
00:26:42then he vanished
00:26:43a heartbeat later
00:26:44he reappeared behind me
00:26:45gripping my throat
00:26:46in a crushing hold
00:26:47his chest pressed
00:26:49against my back
00:26:49as he restrained me
00:26:50I struggled to breathe
00:26:52you can't kill me
00:26:53your people have suffered
00:26:55under the silver moon
00:26:56curse for generations
00:26:57if you don't form
00:26:58a mate bond with me
00:26:59none of you
00:27:00will live past 25
00:27:01Damien's hand
00:27:02morphed into a wolf claw
00:27:03and pierced into my chest
00:27:05blood trickled down
00:27:06as he studied the terror
00:27:07in my eyes
00:27:07with cold fascination
00:27:10it seems you don't know
00:27:12your blood alone
00:27:13can also weaken the curse
00:27:15looking at him now
00:27:16so young yet overflowing
00:27:18with killing intent
00:27:18I finally understand
00:27:19why Jade died
00:27:20the very day
00:27:21she came here
00:27:21to form the bond
00:27:22I forced myself
00:27:23to speak through the pain
00:27:24my blood can't
00:27:25save your entire clan
00:27:26my blood can't
00:27:28save your entire clan
00:27:29but if you bond with me
00:27:30the curse will truly
00:27:32be broken
00:27:32and after that
00:27:33you'll never have to fear
00:27:35the silver moon curse again
00:27:36the hall erupted
00:27:38into heated discussion
00:27:39Damien slowly released me
00:27:41and stepped back
00:27:42I clutched my throat
00:27:44gasping for air
00:27:45suddenly gripped my chin
00:27:47and lifted my face
00:27:48forcing me to meet his eyes
00:27:50he studied me for a moment
00:27:51interesting
00:27:52I'll give you a chance to live
00:27:54walk out of this hall alive
00:27:56if you fail
00:27:57I'll lock you away
00:27:59and drain your blood
00:27:59every day
00:28:00until the curse
00:28:01on every snow wolf
00:28:02is gone
00:28:02before I could respond
00:28:04Damien disappeared
00:28:05I looked around
00:28:06every snow wolf
00:28:07in the hall vanished
00:28:08at the same time
00:28:09Damien?
00:28:11where did you all go?
00:28:13a low
00:28:14thunderous brawl
00:28:15suddenly echoed
00:28:16from above
00:28:16I slowly lifted my gaze
00:28:18beyond the transparent
00:28:19ice ceiling
00:28:20a massive white bear
00:28:21stood outside
00:28:21staring down at me
00:28:22its eyes blazed
00:28:23with hunger
00:28:24and savage intent
00:28:25my eyes widened
00:28:26in horror
00:28:29not far from the palace
00:28:30Damien and several snow wolves
00:28:31stood quietly
00:28:32observing me through
00:28:33the transparent ice structure
00:28:34Alpha
00:28:36are you truly going to kill her?
00:28:38Damien's eyes remained cold
00:28:39as he watched me inside
00:28:40if what she said is true
00:28:42we can always kill her
00:28:43after the curse is lifted
00:28:44but blood feuds like ours
00:28:46are never forgotten
00:28:47if we simply let her go
00:28:49our ancestors
00:28:50and the clansmen
00:28:51who died
00:28:51will never accept it
00:28:52he paused
00:28:53his gaze fixed on me
00:28:54let her suffer a little first
00:28:56inside the palace
00:28:57I stood tense and alert
00:28:58Damien watched me closely
00:29:00I suddenly turned
00:29:01and tried to run
00:29:02with a thunderous crash
00:29:03the giant bear
00:29:04smashed through the ice room
00:29:05shards of frozen stone
00:29:07rained down
00:29:07as it landed
00:29:08directly in front of me
00:29:09blocking my escape
00:29:10outside
00:29:10Damien continued watching
00:29:12looking at her closely
00:29:13he thought
00:29:14she is quite lively
00:29:15and beautiful
00:29:16a pity she was born
00:29:18in the wrong place
00:29:18and came to the wrong place
00:29:20she was always destined
00:29:21to become a sacrifice
00:29:22for her hatred
00:29:23he exhaled quietly
00:29:24he had no desire
00:29:25to watch me torn apart
00:29:26turning away
00:29:27he gave an order
00:29:28when it's over
00:29:29bring her body
00:29:30back to the inner hall
00:29:31have the witch actor
00:29:32keep her alive
00:29:33that will be enough
00:29:34yes
00:29:35alpha
00:29:35Damien began to walk away
00:29:37he had barely taken
00:29:38a few steps
00:29:39when startled cries
00:29:40erupted behind him
00:29:41alpha
00:29:42something's happening
00:29:44Damien froze in place
00:29:45momentarily stunned
00:29:47inside the palace
00:29:48I drew my sword
00:29:49the entire blade
00:29:51erupted into blazing flames
00:29:54shock
00:29:54quickly followed by admiration
00:29:56across his features
00:29:58on my face
00:29:59cold sweat beaded
00:30:00across my skin
00:30:00yet my expression
00:30:01remained steady
00:30:02and calm
00:30:05I stood with my
00:30:06flaming sword raised
00:30:07the fear and panic
00:30:08that once filled my eyes
00:30:09had completely vanished
00:30:10the roaring flame
00:30:11startled the giant bear
00:30:12it instinctively retreated
00:30:14letting out a low
00:30:15uneasy growl
00:30:16I held the burning sword
00:30:17in one hand
00:30:18while chanting a spell
00:30:19with the other
00:30:20golden runes spilled
00:30:21from my lips
00:30:22one after a gather
00:30:22spiraling around the blade
00:30:24the flames surged higher
00:30:26and higher
00:30:26growing nearly as tall
00:30:28as the bear itself
00:30:31with a fierce shout
00:30:32I lifted the sword
00:30:33with both hands
00:30:34and leaped into the air
00:30:35charging towards
00:30:36the giant bear
00:30:38outside
00:30:38watching from a distance
00:30:40Damien's expression
00:30:41deepened with surprise
00:30:42in his eyes now
00:30:43shone unmistakable admiration
00:30:44the blazing fire
00:30:45terrified the giant bear
00:30:47causing it to turn
00:30:48and flee
00:30:48but I struck first
00:30:49with a powerful swing
00:30:51I brought the sword
00:30:52down in a blazing arc
00:30:53one clean strike
00:30:54the bear's head
00:30:55was severed instantly
00:30:56the massive body
00:30:57collapsed to the ground
00:30:58shaking the palace
00:30:59like an earthquake
00:31:00I landed lightly
00:31:01I planted one foot
00:31:03on the fallen bear's head
00:31:04my body smeared
00:31:05with blood and fire
00:31:06after a moment
00:31:07my strength gave way
00:31:08my body swayed
00:31:09I drove the sword
00:31:11into the ground
00:31:12to stable myself
00:31:13then dropped to one knee
00:31:14breathing heavily
00:31:15a deep claw wound
00:31:17tore across my right shoulder
00:31:18blood steadily soaking
00:31:20through my clothes
00:31:21the watching snow wolves
00:31:22stared in disbelief
00:31:23everyone except Damien
00:31:25looked completely stunned
00:31:26that silver moon woman
00:31:28killed a giant bear
00:31:28by herself
00:31:29if I hadn't seen it
00:31:30with my own eyes
00:31:31I never would have believed it
00:31:33could she possess
00:31:34some extraordinary power
00:31:36alpha
00:31:37should we take advantage
00:31:38of her weakness
00:31:39and finish her off
00:31:40Damien studied me
00:31:41for a long moment
00:31:42then he lifted his hand
00:31:43slightly and turned away
00:31:44withdraw
00:31:44the others froze briefly
00:31:46before quickly following him
00:31:47as they left
00:31:48the first subordinate
00:31:49kept glancing back toward me
00:31:50muttering quietly
00:31:51I can't believe it
00:31:52the alpha who's always
00:31:54so cold and ruthless
00:31:55actually let that woman live
00:31:56inside my new room
00:31:57I sat on the edge of the bed
00:31:59with one shoulder exposed
00:32:00I poured a vial of crystal clear
00:32:02glowing liquid
00:32:02onto the claw wound
00:32:03on my shoulder
00:32:04unnoticed by me
00:32:05Damien quietly stepped inside
00:32:07seeing me with my robe
00:32:08partly loosened
00:32:09he leaned against the doorframe
00:32:10and watched in silence
00:32:11for a moment
00:32:12the liquid touched the wound
00:32:13the torn flesh
00:32:15immediately began to close
00:32:16just as I reached
00:32:17to pull my clothes
00:32:18back into place
00:32:19Damien walked over
00:32:20and pressed down
00:32:20on the hand
00:32:21holding my robe
00:32:21I startled
00:32:22my heart suddenly tightening
00:32:24who's there
00:32:25I turned my head
00:32:26Damien stood before me
00:32:28an untamed aura
00:32:29of wildness
00:32:29and killing intent
00:32:30radiating from him
00:32:31in an instant
00:32:32a dagger slid
00:32:33from my sleeve
00:32:34I raised it
00:32:35and pressed the blade
00:32:36against Damien's throat
00:32:37he arched a brow
00:32:38completely unafraid
00:32:39instead of retreating
00:32:41his hand slid along my arm
00:32:42before gripping my chin
00:32:43and lifting my face
00:32:44toward his
00:32:45his gaze lingered
00:32:46between my eyes
00:32:47and my lips
00:32:47such courage
00:32:49do you really think
00:32:51you could kill me
00:32:54suddenly my body froze
00:32:55I could no longer move
00:32:57the dagger clenched
00:32:58in my hand
00:32:59became encased in frost
00:33:00the thin layer of ice
00:33:01spread quickly
00:33:02before shattering
00:33:02in a fragment
00:33:03alarm flashed
00:33:04across my eyes
00:33:05Damien lifted me
00:33:06effortlessly
00:33:07and threw me down
00:33:08onto the bed
00:33:08I pushed against his chest
00:33:10in panic
00:33:10watching him warily
00:33:11what are you doing
00:33:12making you fulfill
00:33:14your obligation
00:33:16what
00:33:17you're going to
00:33:18become my mate
00:33:20Damien leaned down
00:33:21his sharp fangs
00:33:22pierced the side
00:33:23of my neck
00:33:23I grabbed his chest
00:33:24instinctively
00:33:25trying to push him away
00:33:26at that moment
00:33:27a snow white mark
00:33:28appeared on my wrist
00:33:29Damien pulled me
00:33:30into a fierce kiss
00:33:36loud pounding erupted
00:33:37at the door
00:33:40Alpha
00:33:40the silver moon
00:33:41beta Vincent
00:33:42has forced his way
00:33:43into the palace alone
00:33:44he says he'll die
00:33:45before leaving
00:33:46unless he sees the Luna
00:33:47then what do you
00:33:48want from me
00:33:50I don't understand
00:33:55Damien's jaw tightened
00:33:56gold light flickered
00:33:57beneath his skin
00:33:58Vincent
00:33:58the beta
00:34:00who couldn't protect you
00:34:01he wants to see you now
00:34:02I didn't speak
00:34:03my heart slammed
00:34:04against my ribs
00:34:05he studied my face
00:34:07and then a cold smile
00:34:08curved his mouth
00:34:09bring him in
00:34:10Vincent stood surrounded
00:34:11by snow wolves
00:34:12claws extended
00:34:12a snarl echoing
00:34:13across the frozen earth
00:34:14his armor was damaged
00:34:16blood streaked his face
00:34:17but his eyes burned
00:34:18with desperate fury
00:34:19the palace doors opened
00:34:21I appeared to sigh
00:34:22Damien
00:34:23his hand rested
00:34:24at the small of my back
00:34:25the mark on my wrist
00:34:26glowed faintly
00:34:27Vincent's gaze
00:34:28landed on it
00:34:29Lydia
00:34:31no
00:34:32you shouldn't have come
00:34:35I came to take you home
00:34:37this is my home now
00:34:38Damien's hand tightened
00:34:40on my waist
00:34:41you heard my moon goddess
00:34:42she belongs here now
00:34:44to me
00:34:45Vincent's power exploded
00:34:47amber light burst
00:34:48from his chest
00:34:49heavy
00:34:49searing
00:34:50burning
00:34:50the shift tore
00:34:51through his body
00:34:52his wolf lunged
00:34:54at Damien's
00:34:56Damien met him
00:34:57midair
00:34:58ice erupted
00:34:59from his palms
00:35:00silver white
00:35:01pure
00:35:02the shockwave
00:35:03shattered windows
00:35:07they tore across
00:35:09the courtyard
00:35:09amber fire
00:35:10against silver ice
00:35:11Vincent's claws
00:35:12gouged through stone
00:35:13Damien's frost
00:35:14froze the air
00:35:15between them
00:35:16every collision
00:35:17exploded into steam
00:35:19Vincent pinned
00:35:20Damien down
00:35:21his jaws opened
00:35:22aiming for the throat
00:35:23I moved
00:35:24my sword cleared
00:35:25the sheet
00:35:26gold rings spiraled
00:35:27along the blade
00:35:28as I whispered
00:35:28the spell
00:35:29my mother taught me
00:35:30golden fire
00:35:31roared to life
00:35:31I slammed the
00:35:32plot of the blade
00:35:33into Vincent's chest
00:35:34he flew backward
00:35:35crashing through
00:35:36three ice pillars
00:35:37amber light flickered
00:35:39then died
00:35:39I stood over him
00:35:41fire blazing
00:35:42along my sword
00:35:43go home Vincent
00:35:44if you come for me
00:35:46again
00:35:46I won't miss
00:35:47he looked up at me
00:35:48broken
00:35:49bleeding
00:35:50finally seeing
00:35:51then he just
00:35:53appeared into the
00:35:53forest
00:35:54I lowered my sword
00:35:56the fire went out
00:35:57Damien caught me
00:35:58before I could fall
00:36:01I sat alone
00:36:02staring at the mark
00:36:03on my wrist
00:36:04the bond pulsed
00:36:05beneath my skin
00:36:06like a second heartbeat
00:36:07the door opened
00:36:08Damien walked into view
00:36:10and sat in the chair
00:36:11across from me
00:36:11his posture was relaxed
00:36:13but his eyes tracked
00:36:14every breath I took
00:36:22his expression didn't change
00:36:23if I killed him
00:36:26would you forgive me
00:36:27I stared at him
00:36:29what does it matter to you
00:36:30whether I forgive you or not
00:36:31he stood and walked to the window
00:36:33moonlight caught the silver
00:36:35in his hair
00:36:36you killed a bear
00:36:37with a burning sword
00:36:38you walked into my hall
00:36:40knowing I might kill you
00:36:41and you never begged
00:36:43I wanted you to suffer
00:36:44but then I watched you fight
00:36:47and I realized
00:36:48you're not like them
00:36:50you're not like anyone
00:36:52what are you saying
00:36:53he crossed the room
00:36:54in three strides
00:36:55and stopped inches from me
00:36:56his hand lifted
00:36:57fingertips brushing
00:36:58the spot on my neck
00:36:59where the mark rested
00:37:00I'm saying I don't want
00:37:01to kill you Lydia
00:37:03and that terrifies me
00:37:04more than any enemy
00:37:05ever has
00:37:07I didn't sleep
00:37:08around midnight
00:37:09a soft scratching
00:37:10came at the window
00:37:11I rose carefully
00:37:12a wolf tooth talisman
00:37:14hung from a silver chain
00:37:15swaying in the wind
00:37:16the charm was old
00:37:17Vincent had made it
00:37:19for me when we were children
00:37:20a folded note
00:37:21was tucked beneath it
00:37:23I'll find a way
00:37:24wait for me
00:37:25V
00:37:25for a moment
00:37:26I let myself remember
00:37:28the boy who carried me
00:37:29through the poison flower fields
00:37:31the boy who wiped away
00:37:32my tears
00:37:33then I looked at the mark
00:37:34on my wrist
00:37:35Damien's mark
00:37:36I left the talisman
00:37:38on the windowsill
00:37:38let the wind take it
00:37:41I found Damien
00:37:42in the great hall
00:37:43studying maps
00:37:46a faction of Snove
00:37:47want war
00:37:47they've been gathering strength
00:37:49waiting for the curse
00:37:50to break
00:37:51I studied the map
00:37:54what do you want
00:37:55I want my people
00:37:57to survive
00:37:58I want to bury
00:37:59the hatred
00:38:00I want you to stay
00:38:02not as a prisoner
00:38:05as my moon goddess
00:38:07my equal
00:38:08the warriors around us
00:38:09exchanged glances
00:38:10I looked at the mark
00:38:12on my wrist
00:38:13I'll stay
00:38:13but not because you command it
00:38:15the corner of his mouth curved
00:38:17I wouldn't expect anything less
00:38:20three days passed
00:38:23the silver moon beta has returned
00:38:26he says he won't leave without seeing you
00:38:28I went to the border
00:38:31Vincent stood alone
00:38:32thinner than before
00:38:33shadows beneath his eyes
00:38:36you're still here
00:38:38I told you I would be
00:38:39he stepped forward
00:38:41the snow wolves
00:38:42flanking the ship
00:38:43I did
00:38:43the girls rumbling
00:38:44he stopped
00:38:45hands open
00:38:46empty
00:38:46unarmed
00:38:47Lydia
00:38:48I know you think I chose Jade
00:38:50that I never loved you
00:38:51but that's not the truth
00:38:52I didn't speak
00:38:55when we were children
00:38:56you were everything to me
00:38:59I would have died for you
00:39:00I almost did
00:39:02then Jade came
00:39:03I was weak
00:39:05I let her manipulate me
00:39:06but for the past three days
00:39:08I've thought of nothing but you
00:39:09the woman who faced a snow wolf alpha alone
00:39:12the woman who killed a bear with a sword
00:39:14the woman who walked into death to save her pack
00:39:17that wasn't cruelty
00:39:19that was courage
00:39:20and I was too blind to see it
00:39:22what do you want Vincent?
00:39:25I want you to come home
00:39:28I want to marry you Lydia
00:39:32not Jade
00:39:34never Jade
00:39:37I looked at his hands
00:39:40I can't
00:39:42Vincent's face went pale
00:39:43what?
00:39:44I made a choice
00:39:46I'm choosing to stay
00:39:47with him?
00:39:49with the man who was going to kill you?
00:39:52he didn't kill me
00:39:53he gave me a choice
00:39:56no one in our pack
00:39:58ever gave me one
00:40:00Lydia
00:40:00he's using you
00:40:01you think I don't know that?
00:40:03I spent my whole life
00:40:05chasing someone
00:40:05who never saw me
00:40:07I begged my father
00:40:09to let me marry
00:40:10a man who loved my sister
00:40:12I humiliated myself
00:40:13over and over
00:40:14for someone who looked at me
00:40:15with nothing but hate
00:40:17and now
00:40:18for the first time
00:40:19someone sees me
00:40:20not a princess
00:40:21not a pawn
00:40:23someone who killed a bear
00:40:25and walked away
00:40:27I'm not giving this up
00:40:28not for you
00:40:30not for anyone
00:40:31he lowered his head
00:40:33then let me protect you
00:40:36even if you won't come home
00:40:37you can't protect me Vincent
00:40:41he looked up
00:40:42and I watched the truth
00:40:43finally settle into his bones
00:40:45I walked back alone
00:40:47Damien waited
00:40:48at the edge of the trees
00:40:49he fell in to step beside me
00:40:51after a long silence
00:40:53I would let you go
00:40:54if you chose him
00:40:57I would hate it
00:40:58but I wouldn't stop you
00:41:00why?
00:41:02he stopped
00:41:03and turned to face me
00:41:04because watching you leave
00:41:05would be easier
00:41:06than watching you stay
00:41:08out of obligation
00:41:09he held out his hand
00:41:12I took it
00:41:15Damien took me to a cliff
00:41:16overlooking a hidden city
00:41:17towers of ice and stone
00:41:19bridges of silver thread
00:41:20lights glowing in the windows
00:41:21this was us
00:41:23before the curse
00:41:24before your ancestors
00:41:25hunted us
00:41:26I gazed down
00:41:27you hid it
00:41:30because your father
00:41:31would have destroyed it
00:41:32I don't want war Lydia
00:41:36my father wanted war
00:41:37his father too
00:41:39they died with nothing
00:41:41but hatred in their hearts
00:41:42then don't
00:41:43it's not that simple
00:41:45there are those
00:41:46who will never accept you
00:41:47I know
00:41:48and you'll still face them?
00:41:51I've spent my whole life
00:41:52fighting for people
00:41:53who didn't wanted me
00:41:55at least now
00:41:56I'm fighting for something real
00:41:57he kissed me
00:41:58when we broke apart
00:41:59my sword was between us
00:42:01I hadn't even realized
00:42:02I'd drawn it
00:42:04still want to kill me?
00:42:06always
00:42:09chaos
00:42:09chaos greeted us
00:42:10when we returned
00:42:11warriors moved through the halls
00:42:12with weapons drawn
00:42:14eastern outpost was hit
00:42:16Ragnar's wolves
00:42:18they left a message
00:42:19words written in blood
00:42:20death to the silver moon
00:42:21war
00:42:22the old ways return
00:42:23Damien's ice war exploded
00:42:25cross braced across the floor
00:42:27windows cracked
00:42:29how many dead?
00:42:31six
00:42:31two wounded
00:42:33call the war council
00:42:35Damien was silent
00:42:36for a long time
00:42:37he stared at the map
00:42:38at the northern mountains
00:42:39where Ragnar's camp lay
00:42:41who is he?
00:42:43an old wolf
00:42:44from my father's generation
00:42:46never met a silver moon
00:42:47in his life
00:42:48but he's hated them forever
00:42:49he hates you
00:42:51hates peace
00:42:52hates any kind of change
00:42:55he wants war
00:42:56he always has
00:42:58before
00:42:59the curse held him back
00:43:02now that it's gone
00:43:03the wind outside stopped
00:43:04the snow stopped
00:43:06the whole hall went quiet
00:43:07I looked at the markings
00:43:09on the map
00:43:10Ragnar's camp wasn't far
00:43:11what was he waiting for?
00:43:13Damien didn't speak
00:43:15he just stared out the window
00:43:16at the rising moon
00:43:17the full moon was three days away
00:43:19I knew something was coming
00:43:22Damien came to my room
00:43:24with a wooden box
00:43:25inside lay a sword
00:43:26a blade white as snow
00:43:27actually runes
00:43:28I made this for you
00:43:29it will focus your fire
00:43:30make it stronger
00:43:31I picked up the sword
00:43:33it was lighter than I expected
00:43:34perfectly balanced
00:43:35the runes pulsed with warmth
00:43:37responding to my touch
00:43:38the mate bond broke the curse
00:43:40my people won't die
00:43:41before 25 anymore
00:43:42but the root of the curse remains
00:43:44like cutting down a tree
00:43:46while the roots stay in the ground
00:43:47if the roots aren't burned
00:43:49it will grow back
00:43:51tomorrow
00:43:52at the full moon
00:43:53a ritual can be performed
00:43:54to destroy the root completely
00:43:56but it will require you
00:43:57to give up something
00:43:58memories
00:43:59I can't guarantee
00:44:00what you'll lose
00:44:01you knew this ritual
00:44:03was needed
00:44:03I knew if I told you
00:44:05you might refuse
00:44:06I won't refuse
00:44:07I chose you
00:44:09I chose this path
00:44:10I'll walk it to the end
00:44:14you don't know what you'll lose
00:44:17I know what I've gained
00:44:18I have you
00:44:21he kissed me
00:44:23his hands slid to my back
00:44:24pulling me close
00:44:26his fingers found the strap of my dress
00:44:29he stopped
00:44:33I pulled the strap down myself
00:44:35he lifted me and laid me on the bed
00:44:38his body covered mine
00:44:39his hands pushing my dress up
00:44:41until nothing was left between us
00:44:43I've wanted this since the night you held a knife to my throat
00:44:46I laughed softly
00:44:48that did it for you
00:44:49he kissed me
00:44:50deeper
00:44:51he moved
00:44:53I woke to find Damien already dressed
00:44:56silhouetted against the pale morning light
00:44:58he came to the bed and cupped my face
00:45:00whatever the ritual takes from you
00:45:01I'll spend the rest of my life giving back
00:45:04he kissed me again
00:45:05then rose
00:45:08wait for me
00:45:09I watched him go
00:45:10the mark on my wrist pulsing warm
00:45:12the full moon rose
00:45:13stood at the center of the circle
00:45:15Damien's sword strapped to my back
00:45:16do you come willingly?
00:45:18I do
00:45:22do you willingly give your blood
00:45:24to break the chains binding the children of snow?
00:45:28I do
00:45:28do you accept the price?
00:45:31knowing something will be taken from you?
00:45:33I accept
00:45:35I drew the blade across my palm
00:45:37silver blood flowed
00:45:38the ice drank it in
00:45:40the force pour for me
00:45:41my mother's face
00:45:42Vincent smiled
00:45:43eight years of hatred
00:45:45all of it pulled from my bones
00:45:47I screamed
00:45:47light exploded from my body
00:45:49it spread across the lake
00:45:51across the valley
00:45:52across the world
00:45:53then silence
00:45:53the moon turned gold
00:45:55it is done
00:45:56the priestess whispered
00:45:57because
00:45:58a blade drove through her chest from behind
00:46:00she fell
00:46:01behind her stood a massive wolf
00:46:03shifting to human form
00:46:04a scarred face
00:46:05ice cold as the frozen waves
00:46:07black frost stripped from his claws
00:46:09not ice
00:46:10something wrong
00:46:11something that made the air crackle and rot
00:46:13Ragnar
00:46:14did you think we would let you free us?
00:46:16the old ways made us strong
00:46:18weakness like yours
00:46:20it deserves to die
00:46:22he raised his hand
00:46:23black frost surged forth
00:46:25streaked with sickly purple
00:46:26the black struck Damien in the chest
00:46:29hurling him through three ice cords
00:46:30wherever the frost touched
00:46:32ice rotted to ash
00:46:33on the distant rages
00:46:34black light flickered
00:46:36dozens
00:46:36hundreds
00:46:37snow wolves with black frost
00:46:39hurling from their claws
00:46:40kill her
00:46:41kill them all
00:46:43the traitor's charge
00:46:46I drew Damien's sword
00:46:48the words of power came to my lips
00:46:50golden fire raced along the blade
00:46:52wasted in darkness
00:46:53the first traitor in the eye
00:46:55I met him in the tree
00:46:56golden fire collided with black frost
00:46:58he exploded
00:46:59his frost tried to run away
00:47:01but my fire turned away
00:47:03Damien rose from the bubble
00:47:05silver white ice gathering in his palms
00:47:06he fought beside me
00:47:08his eyes scattering the black frost head on
00:47:10but there were too many
00:47:12Ragnar appeared before me
00:47:14black frost riding around him
00:47:15the curse held us back
00:47:17now that it's gone
00:47:18we can finally become
00:47:20what we were meant to be
00:47:22he thrust both hands forward
00:47:24black frost exploded toward me
00:47:26I raised my sword
00:47:27golden fire blazed brighter than ever before
00:47:30the fire made my frost
00:47:31the frost pushed closer
00:47:33my fire flickered
00:47:34Damien grabbed my hand
00:47:35his ice poured into the bomb
00:47:37not fighting my fire
00:47:38beating it
00:47:39golden fire dead made
00:47:41the blast hurled Ragnar off the cliff
00:47:44his army scattered
00:47:45they fled
00:47:46I collapsed
00:47:47Damien caught me
00:47:48it's not over
00:47:49he looked at the ridges
00:47:51where black frost still glowed in the distance
00:47:53no
00:47:54it's not
00:47:56survivors gathered in the war room
00:47:58blood stained the ice floors
00:47:59Ragnar has been planning this for months
00:48:03he was waiting for the curse to break
00:48:05where did he get the black frost
00:48:07that's not snow wolf magic
00:48:09before the curse
00:48:10there was something in the north
00:48:12something ancient
00:48:14something hungry
00:48:16our ancestors sealed it away
00:48:18Ragnar found a way to use it
00:48:20he produced a folded ladder
00:48:22found on one of Ragnar's lieutenants
00:48:24a silver moon seal
00:48:26already broken
00:48:27I opened it
00:48:28my blood went cold
00:48:29kill the princess
00:48:30take the north
00:48:32when the snow wolf army marches south
00:48:34the silver moon court will tear itself apart
00:48:36trying to stop you
00:48:37the throne will be mine
00:48:39no signature
00:48:40but I knew the handwriting
00:48:42Jade
00:48:42I stood by the window
00:48:44watching the snow fall
00:48:45Damien found me there
00:48:47your sister wants you dead
00:48:48she's willing to start a war to make it happen
00:48:51I didn't turn
00:48:52she always wanted what I had
00:48:54she can't have you
00:48:55I turned
00:48:57Damien stood in the doorway
00:48:58his face hard
00:48:59his eyes burning
00:49:00Ragnar holds the pass
00:49:02if we march north
00:49:04Jade attacks from the south
00:49:05if we turn south
00:49:06Ragnar burns everything behind us
00:49:08she's trapped us
00:49:10Damien crossed to me
00:49:12and cupped my face
00:49:13then we don't play by her rules
00:49:15he pulled out a smaller map
00:49:18the ice fang
00:49:19a hidden pass
00:49:21we can hit Ragnar
00:49:23before Jade even knows we've moved
00:49:25that's suicide
00:49:26it's the only chance we have
00:49:28then we go together
00:49:30he kissed me
00:49:33together
00:49:36the ice fang pass was a forgotten trail
00:49:38sure ice walls on either side
00:49:39the bottomless drop below
00:49:41Damien's silver white ice lit the way ahead
00:49:43I stayed close behind him
00:49:45golden fire from my sword driving back to darkness
00:49:47we marched through the night
00:49:49and cleared the pass by dawn
00:49:50below
00:49:51Ragnar's army was camped in the valley
00:49:53thousands of them
00:49:54black frost rose from their bodies like smoke
00:49:56shrouding the camp
00:49:58what are they waiting for
00:50:00us
00:50:00he knew we'd come
00:50:02I looked at the cliffs flanking the valley
00:50:04it was a trap
00:50:06then we don't fight his way
00:50:07I pointed to the eastern ridge
00:50:09you open the path
00:50:10freeze the east cliffs solid
00:50:12I'll take the rear
00:50:13seal the escape route with fire
00:50:14one push
00:50:15kill Ragnar and pull out
00:50:17Damien smiled
00:50:18good
00:50:19he raised his hand
00:50:20silver white light exploded upward like a flame
00:50:23the campbell erupted into chaos
00:50:25Damien shifted
00:50:26silver white ice armor encased me
00:50:29taller than the palace walls
00:50:30he charged down the slope
00:50:32ice blasting from his feet
00:50:33flash racing the eastern cliff into a smooth wall
00:50:36the traders who tried to flank
00:50:37crashed into it and froze solid
00:50:39I followed
00:50:40golden fire blazing along my way
00:50:41the first wave of traders came at me
00:50:43I swam
00:50:44fire exploded
00:50:45and they burned to mash
00:50:47a second wave
00:50:48a third
00:50:50now
00:50:53my sword spun like a female
00:50:54strings of golden fire bursting out like of every strike
00:51:00Damien carved the path and half
00:51:01walls of ice
00:51:02two of the ice
00:51:03pulling to ice
00:51:04tearing the traits formation to pieces
00:51:06then Ragnar appeared
00:51:07he walked out from the heart of the camp
00:51:09black frost forming armor around him
00:51:11writhing like something alive
00:51:14Damien
00:51:16you finally came
00:51:18Damien shifted back to human form
00:51:20a blade of silver white ice falling in his hand
00:51:23this ends Ragnar
00:51:25Ragnar smiled
00:51:26black frost exploded from his feet like a tidal wave
00:51:29sweeping forward
00:51:30Damien raised his hand
00:51:32a wall of ice rose
00:51:33the frost took the wall
00:51:34but instead of shattering
00:51:36eroded
00:51:40your ice can't stop me
00:51:42the power of the north is awake
00:51:45what do you have to fight it with
00:51:48Damien charged
00:51:48Ragnar sidestepped
00:51:50black frost forming fire
00:51:51and flash
00:51:52Damien's ice armor cracked
00:51:54blood sprayed
00:51:56I lunged
00:51:57my sword swinging for Ragnar's neck
00:51:59he raised an arms block
00:52:00black frost meeting golden fire
00:52:02his team exploding
00:52:03his power was too strong
00:52:05my fire was being pushed back
00:52:07frost forming on my blade
00:52:08Damien attacked from the side
00:52:10his ice blade piercing Ragnar's shoulder
00:52:12Ragnar walked
00:52:13black frost
00:52:14and then he walked backward
00:52:16I hit the ice wall
00:52:17blood filling my mouth
00:52:18Damien crashed to the ground
00:52:20half his ice armor shattered
00:52:21Ragnar stood in the center of the battlefield
00:52:23black frost swirling around him
00:52:25this is your resistance
00:52:28I cannot be killed
00:52:30he gathered black frost between his palms
00:52:33forming a sphere that grew larger and darker
00:52:35the air froze
00:52:36the ground cracked
00:52:38Damien threw himself in front of me
00:52:40salted ice rose layer after layer
00:52:42the black frost hit the first wall and corroded it
00:52:45the second
00:52:46the third
00:52:46all the last
00:52:47run
00:52:48I didn't run
00:52:49I drove my sword into the ground
00:52:51bit my tongue
00:52:52and painted my blood across the blade
00:52:54gold rooms flared
00:52:55not gold
00:52:56but white gold
00:52:57the color of the sun
00:52:58my mother had taught me this spell
00:53:00she said never to use it
00:53:01because after
00:53:02your power would be drained for a long time
00:53:04maybe forever
00:53:06I used it
00:53:07golden fire erupted from the blade
00:53:09flashing upward
00:53:10tearing the gold of the clouds
00:53:12sunlight poured down
00:53:13striking the black frost
00:53:15the frost halted
00:53:16trembling in the light
00:53:17Damien lunged to me
00:53:19pressing his palm against my back
00:53:21silver light ice ironed the golden fire
00:53:23shooting up the problem of light into the sky
00:53:25and crashing back down onto Ragnar's earth
00:53:27the earth shook
00:53:28traitors froze
00:53:29burned
00:53:30were swallowed by light
00:53:31Ragnar's frost scared detonated
00:53:33the shockwave threw him to the ground
00:53:35black frost threw him away from his body
00:53:37like a shedding snake
00:53:38I collapsed to my knees
00:53:39my fire dying
00:53:40the runes went dark
00:53:42my body felt hollowed out
00:53:43every ounce of strength gone
00:53:45Damien caught me
00:53:46Lydia
00:53:47I'm okay
00:53:48just nothing left
00:53:54Ragnar picked himself up
00:53:55his frost was shattered
00:53:56but he still had claws
00:53:58still had fangs
00:53:59he shook his massive black wolf
00:54:01eyes like twin voids
00:54:02he charged at us
00:54:04Damien stepped in front of me
00:54:06his ice water was gone
00:54:07his power was spent
00:54:09but he didn't retreat
00:54:10run
00:54:12I didn't run
00:54:13I couldn't stand
00:54:14but I gripped my sword
00:54:16and knelt in the snow
00:54:16watching Ragnar's black wolf
00:54:18bear down on us
00:54:19his claws spread
00:54:20black frost burning
00:54:21between them like jewel
00:54:22a shadow slammed into him
00:54:24from the side
00:54:24he shimped in the dare
00:54:27his body speaking low
00:54:28black frost tore across his back
00:54:30blood exploded
00:54:31spraying across my face
00:54:33he landed in front of me
00:54:35on his knees
00:54:35between me and Ragnar
00:54:39go
00:54:39I bit my tongue
00:54:40and spat blood into my palm
00:54:41gold rings flickered
00:54:43me
00:54:43dying
00:54:44Vincent's amber light
00:54:45surged into me
00:54:46merging with my fire
00:54:47just enough to hold
00:54:48Vincent rose
00:54:49seeing his sword
00:54:50a column of light
00:54:52shot the ground
00:54:52straight into the last
00:54:54wall
00:54:54and Ragnar
00:54:55the black wolf
00:54:56burned to ash
00:54:57Vincent stood where he was
00:54:59his sword slipped
00:55:00from his hand
00:55:01blood still poured
00:55:02from his back
00:55:03he turned
00:55:04and looked at me
00:55:04then he fell
00:55:06I kneeling at his side
00:55:07Vincent
00:55:08his eyes opened
00:55:10gold faded
00:55:11Lydia
00:55:13can I have another chance
00:55:15I froze
00:55:16I know I was wrong
00:55:18I trusted the wrong person
00:55:20I hurt you
00:55:21but I would change
00:55:22give me one chance
00:55:24I looked at him
00:55:26blood soaked his back
00:55:27his eyes were fading
00:55:29you saved me
00:55:31thank you
00:55:33then
00:55:35but I can't go back
00:55:37his smile faltered
00:55:38I let it go
00:55:39Vincent
00:55:40I remember what we had
00:55:42as children
00:55:43I remember you saved me
00:55:45his eyes dimmed
00:55:46but that's in the past
00:55:47I don't hate you
00:55:49but the one I love
00:55:50is him
00:55:51then he smiled
00:55:52not bitter
00:55:53not pleading
00:55:54accepting
00:55:55that's good
00:55:57as long as you don't hate me
00:55:59his eyes closed
00:56:00his chest was still moving
00:56:02barely
00:56:02but still moving
00:56:04Damien crouched beside us
00:56:06he's alive
00:56:07he needs healing
00:56:08warriors ran over
00:56:10lifting him
00:56:10carrying him away
00:56:11I pushed myself up
00:56:13with my sword
00:56:13my whole body shook
00:56:15I could barely stand
00:56:16on the ribs
00:56:17stood a single figure
00:56:19Jade
00:56:21she walked down
00:56:23dull gold light
00:56:24gathered in her palm
00:56:25but it wasn't just light
00:56:26black lines crawled up
00:56:27from her fingers
00:56:28like cracks
00:56:28like burned veins
00:56:29spreading to her wrist
00:56:31the power was consuming her
00:56:33here you are
00:56:34she lunged
00:56:35a blade of dull gold light
00:56:37popped up
00:56:37I raised my sword to block
00:56:39impact driving me back
00:56:41a second strike
00:56:42grazed my shoulder
00:56:43blood welling
00:56:44a third set my sword
00:56:46flying from my grip
00:56:46she stood over me
00:56:48her light blade
00:56:49against my throat
00:56:50black lines had reached
00:56:51her forearms now
00:56:52like vines
00:56:53like a curse
00:56:54kill me
00:56:55her hand trembled
00:56:56the light blade flickered
00:56:58black lines spread
00:56:59Damien charged toward us
00:57:01he had no sword
00:57:02no ice blade left
00:57:03his power spent
00:57:04but he ran
00:57:05putting himself
00:57:06between me and jade
00:57:07jade's light blade
00:57:09stopped an inch
00:57:09from his chest
00:57:10move
00:57:10no
00:57:11i'll kill you
00:57:12do it
00:57:13jade stared at him
00:57:14his eyes didn't blink
00:57:16he just stood there
00:57:17his chest against her blade
00:57:18you're protecting her too
00:57:20yes
00:57:21you've known her for days
00:57:22long enough
00:57:23jade's hands trembled
00:57:24black lines had reached
00:57:26her elbows
00:57:26she looked down
00:57:27at her arms
00:57:28at the crack spreading
00:57:29beneath her skin
00:57:33she looked toward
00:57:34where vincent had been
00:57:35carried away
00:57:35blood still stained
00:57:37the ground
00:57:37he'd almost died
00:57:39for me
00:57:40he protected her too
00:57:42everyone protects her
00:57:43she looked at her hands
00:57:45black lines had reached
00:57:47her shoulders
00:57:47she'd chosen this path
00:57:49she'd chosen ragnar
00:57:51chosen the dark
00:57:52chosen the hatred
00:57:54chosen everything
00:57:55that would destroy her
00:57:56in the end
00:57:57she'd gotten nothing
00:57:58she let her light blade go
00:58:01i lose
00:58:02the black cracks
00:58:04suddenly burst open
00:58:05not cracks
00:58:06fire
00:58:06dull gold fire
00:58:07burned out from beneath
00:58:08her skin
00:58:09through her sleeves
00:58:10through her cloak
00:58:11her whole body
00:58:12was like a candle
00:58:13burning from the inside out
00:58:15she didn't scream
00:58:16she stood there
00:58:17watching her hands burn
00:58:18lydia
00:58:20what
00:58:22do you hate me
00:58:25no
00:58:25she smiled
00:58:27i don't hate you either
00:58:29fire reached her shoulders
00:58:30her face
00:58:31like she was finally
