00:00On the night my husband died saving me, his last words were...
00:03If there is a next life, leave me. Be with Jay.
00:06So when I woke up back on the day, I begged my father to let me marry him.
00:10No, father. I was mistaken. He is not the one. I chose someone else instead.
00:15The night of my first mating ceremony, I learned the true weight of hatred.
00:18The silver moon god. Princess Lydia and Beta Vincent shall mark one another.
00:22Bite the neck and seal your bond as mates. Till death do you part.
00:26My heart pounded so hard, I could hear it in my ears. The first sign.
00:30That the goddess had blessed our union. Vincent lowered his head as if to return the gesture.
00:36You forced Jade to marry the alpha of the snow wolf pack.
00:39And now you're forcing me to mate with you. I hate you, Lydia. I will never love you.
00:44I froze.
00:46The hopeful smile on my face slowly disappeared.
00:49Replaced by shock and heartbreak so profound, I thought I might shatter into pieces right there on the altar.
00:54Vincent! Come back, please!
00:59Vincent loved my stepsister. He always had, and I was just the woman standing in their way.
01:05That night, my stepsister Jade met a far worse fate.
01:11The curse that bound them, the curse my ancestors had placed on them centuries ago, had been lifted.
01:19The snow wolves burst into tears of relief and joy.
01:22But their expressions soon turned cold as they looked down at Jade trembling on the ground.
01:27One by one, they transfer wolves and descended upon her.
01:29Jade's screams echoed through the night as the pack tore her apart.
01:32The snow wolves drained her blood to cure their curse.
01:35Then they devoured her until nothing remained.
01:38For eight years after that night, hatred was all there was between Vincent and me.
01:42We fought constantly.
01:44We clashed in pack meetings and training, in every aspect of our lives.
01:49Two wolves colliding in a violent fight over and over again.
01:52Me the silver grey, him the dark brown.
01:54We clawed and slammed into each other with savage force, until one of us finally pinned the other.
02:00Usually, it was him.
02:02I would shift back into human form, and press my hand against whatever wound I'd earned in the latest battle,
02:08watching him disappear into the distance with tears filling my eyes.
02:11Eight years of hatred.
02:13Eight years of loving someone who would never love me back.
02:17When the war with the snow wolves finally began, Vincent swore to avenge Jade.
02:20But the snow wolves were too strong, and soon the forest was filled with the corpses of our kin.
02:24Finally.
02:25I had accepted my fate.
02:26After eight years of misery, death almost seemed like a relief.
02:29Suddenly, a brown wolf burst through the pack.
02:31It was Vincent.
02:32He threw me onto his back and raced through the forest as the snow wolves pursued us.
02:36I clung to his fur, too weak and shocked to do anything else.
02:38Vincent reached the ancient altar, the same altar where we had almost become mates eight years ago,
02:43and shifted into human form.
02:45Vincent.
02:46I slid down from his back, struggling to stand.
02:48Without hesitation, Vincent drew a blade and cut open his own chaffee.
02:51Vincent, what are you doing?
02:52I stared at him in shock.
02:53Drops of his blood fell onto the altar, and a crimson magic circle appeared beneath my feet.
02:57A transparent barrier rose around me, sealing me inside.
03:00I rushed forward and pounded against the barrier, but it would not break.
03:03I'm teleporting you out with my life.
03:06Consider it repayment for the years you loved me.
03:10But if there is a next life, leave me be with Jade.
03:13No, Vincent!
03:14I rushed forward and pounded against the barrier, but it would not break.
03:18I'm teleporting you out with my life.
03:21Consider it repayment for the years you loved me.
03:24But if there is a next life, leave me be with Jade.
03:27No, Vincent!
03:29But the snow wolves had arrived at the altar.
03:31Vincent turned to face them alone.
03:32The wolves leapt onto him and tore into his body.
03:34Claws ripped through flesh, and blood slack crossed the stone altar.
03:37Vincent, I never imagined you would die to save me.
03:40The crimson circle suddenly turned gold.
03:42I opened my eyes.
03:44I was standing in the middle of the Silver Moon Palace.
03:46My father was looking down at me, sullen and mighty.
03:48And Jade, Jade who should have been dead for eight years, gazed at me with hatred.
03:52Wait, wait, I thought, my mind reeling.
03:54I'm actually back to the day.
03:55Lydia, the snow wolves demand a daughter of mine to mate with their alpha and lift the curse for them.
04:00If we say no, there will be a war we can't win.
04:02Are you still sure you are turning down the offer to marry Vincent?
04:05My heart pounding.
04:06This is it.
04:07This is the moment everything changing.
04:09Last time I begged for Vincent.
04:11Eight years.
04:12All pain.
04:14Father.
04:16I've changed my mind.
04:17Not again.
04:19I'll marry the snow wolf alpha.
04:22You wanted Vincent.
04:23What changed?
04:24What are you hiding?
04:25Nothing.
04:27Just one condition.
04:28What condition?
04:29No one says a word until the ceremony.
04:33Sure.
04:34I have no problem with that.
04:36Vincent saved me once.
04:37This is my repayment.
04:39My father sighed as if the matter was already settled.
04:42In five days, both ceremonies begin.
04:44After this, we're done.
04:46My father never chose me.
04:49And Vincent.
04:52He came for Jade.
04:55Again.
04:56Why are you here?
04:58If Jade stays, I go.
05:00I'll crush the snow wolves.
05:02Neither of you goes.
05:04I let out a soft, almost amused laugh.
05:06He still doesn't understand.
05:08The snow wolves are too strong.
05:11In my previous life, they nearly destroyed us.
05:15Then I wish...
05:16You will get what you wish for.
05:18One day back.
05:19The events of the day had exhausted me emotionally.
05:22Suddenly, loud and chaotic pounding erupt at my door.
05:25The moment the door opened, Vincent shoved me back against it.
05:27What did you do?
05:29Why did you have to send Jade to the snow wolf pack?
05:31You manipulated the alpha to give the order.
05:33Vincent, let go.
05:34You're hurting me.
05:35The snow wolf pack has a blood feat with us.
05:38They have suffered under the curse from our ancestors for centuries.
05:41What do you think they will do to Jade once the curse is lifted?
05:43Is that what you want?
05:44You want your sister dead?
05:46You think this bond makes me yours?
05:49It doesn't.
05:52Someone like you doesn't get love.
05:56That look...
05:59Same as last time.
06:01I lifted my hand and released a burst of magic.
06:03Vincent was thrown several meters away,
06:06crashing to the ground before barely managing to kneel.
06:09Vincent, don't forget your place.
06:15I'm sorry.
06:17Too late.
06:21On ceremony day,
06:24you get what you want.
06:26Now please leave.
06:29I turn to go back inside.
06:31Let me help.
06:33The moon healer can treat this.
06:36Concern.
06:37Or guilt?
06:38I'd seen this before.
06:41It burns.
06:43Lydia, don't be afraid.
06:46He used to run towards my pain.
06:51That's why I mistook it for love.
06:53He used to stand between me and danger.
06:58Vincent!
07:03I knelt beside Vincent, crying as I held him.
07:06As long as you're safe.
07:08Again.
07:09Control the circle.
07:11I thought he was my savior.
07:13Then Jade came.
07:17What was that?
07:20That was the first time I looked guilty.
07:23Jade!
07:24Are you hurt?
07:26She's lying!
07:27She hit me first!
07:29Touch Jade again,
07:30and I won't forgive you.
07:33That was the moment I lost him.
07:35After Jade appeared,
07:36I finally understood.
07:37Everything Vincent had done for me
07:39was only repayment for the kindness
07:40my mother once showed him.
07:42I mistook it for love
07:43and clinged to that illusion
07:44for an entire lifetime.
07:45It's time to let go.
07:47There's no need.
07:48This time,
07:49I let go first.
07:50Vincent!
07:53Did you bring them?
07:54For me,
07:55he hesitated.
07:58Right here.
07:59For her,
08:00he softened.
08:03You've made these for others too,
08:05right?
08:05No.
08:07Only for people I care about.
08:10That charm was never just a charm.
08:15My mother made the first one for me.
08:23For protection.
08:25It was meant to protect me.
08:27The day I lost her.
08:29Keep it.
08:32He put it back in my hand.
08:36That was when I started needing him.
08:39My mother taught him the spell.
08:42After she died,
08:44he kept making them for me.
08:48That's when I started calling it love.
08:53You are not giving that to her!
08:54That's enough.
08:56How long are you going to keep going after Jade?
08:59He still thought this was about Jade.
09:02Vincent,
09:02did you forget?
09:04My mother died because of Jade's mother.
09:07Jade doesn't even like those charms.
09:09This is just her way to provoke me.
09:11Why'd Lydia leave?
09:13Is she upset with me?
09:14Vincent watched my back for a long moment.
09:17Deep in thought.
09:18You hate me, Vincent.
09:20Three days.
09:22Then we're done.
09:24It was the farewell banquet.
09:26The last night before the brides would depart for their respective ceremonies.
09:29At the center of the crowd, Jade stood with red-eyed eyes, crying, sighing softly as several gathered around her
09:34in sympathy.
09:35After tonight, they send you away to our enemy, the Snow Wolf Alpha.
09:41And Lydia?
09:41Lydia?
09:42She only cares about Vincent.
09:44She's forcing Vincent to bond with her.
09:47It's ridiculous.
09:48They judged me before I arrived.
09:50I am Silver Moon's princess.
09:52The pack comes first.
09:54Not my feelings.
09:56If this ends bloodshed, I'll do it.
09:58You have such a big heart.
10:01And Lydia skipped you.
10:02She doesn't deserve to be our princess.
10:03And there it was.
10:04My title on trial.
10:09Talking about me?
10:11Who are you to judge me?
10:14I drained the wine in my glass one motion and turned leaving the banquet alone.
10:18Say it to my face next time.
10:20Near the silver wolf statue in the garden, I paused beside it.
10:25Clear your head.
10:27Three more days.
10:30Sister.
10:32I know you decided to take Mike my place and go to the Snow Wolf pack instead.
10:36But that was your own choice.
10:38I never forced you.
10:40She secretly cast a spell.
10:43Suddenly, my arm moved against my will as if guided by an invisible hand.
10:46A bolt of lightning magic struck toward Jade.
10:49Vincent reacted instantly.
10:50He cast a spell that slammed into me.
10:52Enough!
10:54I thought you were childish, but this is pure evil.
10:57You nearly killed Jade.
11:00If your mother were still alive, she would be utterly ashamed to see what you've become.
11:05Vincent!
11:06He used her name against me.
11:09Last life.
11:10We fought for years.
11:12But we never tried to destroy each other.
11:15But this time...
11:18But this time...
11:18If I did...
11:19I couldn't finish it.
11:27Lydia?
11:28What's wrong?
11:33You have no right...
11:35To speak about my mother.
11:37My emotions surged violently, and I collapsed unconscious in his arms.
11:41Lydia.
11:42Lydia.
11:46Vincent, I...
11:47For once, he left her behind.
11:50Lydia.
11:52You're walking into death.
11:54You can steal him from me.
12:00The next thing I knew, I was lying weakly on my bed.
12:05And he was still there, waiting with visible guilt.
12:09Last life.
12:10He never came.
12:12Even when I was dying.
12:14He sent someone else.
12:16Why are you here?
12:17I'm sorry.
12:19I lost control.
12:20There's no need for apologies between us anymore.
12:23Leave.
12:24Behind me, a sharp sound suddenly echoed through the room.
12:27Vincent had slapped himself hard across was the face.
12:30The door opened, then closed.
12:32Only then did I fully open my eyes again.
12:35My gaze was filled with disappointment and quiet indifference.
12:38He stayed.
12:40Two days.
12:41Two nights.
12:42I opened a silver jewel box encrussed with diamonds.
12:45Inside rested a wolf hail charm, the one Vincent had made for me long ago, before Jade, before everything changed.
12:50Vincent has stood outside my door for two days and nights.
12:52But I haven't let him in.
13:02Lydia.
13:03I'll marry you.
13:05I'll make this right.
13:07I swear by the moon goddess.
13:09I raised my hand and quietly cast a spell.
13:12Inside the room, the lights dimmed instantly.
13:14Realizing I would not answer him, he finally turned and walked away.
13:18Tomorrow, I go in Jade's place.
13:20I marry the snow wolf Alpha.
13:21The bride Vincent gets.
13:23His jade.
13:24Deep within the silver moon pack's forest, white roses bloomed everywhere on the day of the mating ceremonies.
13:30I turned back to look at the dense forest behind me, filled with quiet reluctance.
13:36One last look.
13:38Then I was gone.
13:40By now.
13:41Our debt is settled, Vincent.
13:47Lydia Langfield.
13:49You belong to the snow now.
13:52Come with us.
13:55Come with us.
13:58Come with us.
13:59Come with us.
14:07What is he doing here?
14:09Vincent Armad.
14:11One more step we cross into your land.
14:13Your pack pays for it.
14:17Let me escort you.
14:24Are you angry?
14:25Because I'm marrying your sister?
14:27He thinks I'm Jade.
14:28He came early.
14:29For her.
14:30But I owe her.
14:32I owe her mother.
14:33The surprise hadn't reached him.
14:35Not yet.
14:36I'm sorry.
14:37I couldn't stop this.
14:39One day.
14:40I'll lead an army.
14:41I'll crush the snow wolves.
14:44And bring you back.
14:46Vincent Armad.
14:47Back away now.
14:49Or you die here.
14:51Take me.
14:53Take me.
15:01Jade!
15:07If I had fought Stardar, maybe Jade wouldn't have gone.
15:13She must hate me.
15:24Vincent.
15:26This is outrageous.
15:28You kept everyone waiting.
15:30You left my daughter humiliated.
15:33Is this an insult to my house?
15:40Enough.
15:42Begin the reet.
15:47Let the moon goddess witness this bond.
15:51Princess Jade and Beta Vincent will mark each other.
15:56From this moment, your souls are bound.
16:01Vincent closed his eyes and tilted his head slightly.
16:04Fists clenched tightly.
16:06Jade removed her veil and bit down on Vince's neck.
16:25What?
16:27Jade?
16:29Why is it you?
16:32I...
16:33I don't know.
16:34Yesterday,
16:35my sister said she'd go.
16:41What?
16:42She went to the Snow Wolves?
16:44Then that woman.
16:45The one they took.
16:48I'm sorry.
16:50I couldn't stop this.
16:53Time to go.
16:55Jade!
16:58How's Lydia?
17:03What is it?
17:04Where are you going?
17:12Lydia!
17:13Lydia!
17:31Alpha.
17:34He meant to kill me.
17:36No warning.
17:37No mercy.
17:39So this was the Snow Wolf Alpha.
17:41And I was still standing.
17:43The contempt was gone.
17:45That was worse.
17:48He didn't want me dead.
17:49Not yet.
17:50First, he wanted me helpless.
17:52You can't kill me.
17:54Silver Moon cursed your bloodline.
17:57Without our mate bond,
17:59none of you reached 25.
18:00The curse stopped him from killing me.
18:03But it didn't make me safe.
18:05But it didn't make me safe.
18:05Seems you don't know.
18:06Your blood weakens it too.
18:08So that's why Jade died here.
18:10My blood won't save your pack.
18:12Not all of them.
18:14Then the curse breaks.
18:16After that,
18:18you'll never fear Silver Moon again.
18:20The Hall took the bait.
18:22Now he had to choose.
18:26Interesting.
18:27I'll give you a chance.
18:28Walk out alive.
18:29I cage you.
18:31I bleed you daily.
18:32Till the curse is gone.
18:35He didn't spare me.
18:37He opened the trial.
18:39Damien?
18:42Where is everyone?
18:44Where is everyone?
18:46A bear.
18:47A giant one.
18:49So this was his test.
18:50Alpha.
18:51Will you really kill her?
18:54If she told the truth.
