00:00Evelyn, you bitch! Fucking a rogue in the sacred woods?
00:03No! It wasn't me! Alaric, please look at me! That's not me!
00:11At the saloon of the box in the night, Alpha Alaric was about to mock me.
00:16Then, a vision above the altar shattered the ceremony.
00:19I was pinned naked in the dirt by a rogue moaning like a whore.
00:23I dropped to my knees, screaming my innocence, but no one listened.
00:26Alaric ripped the moonstone necklace from my neck, the ultimate symbol of Aluna.
00:31You don't deserve to be my mate!
00:36Behind him, my stepsister Serafina watched from the crowd, smiling sweetly, like she always did.
00:42Cast her out of Salarian!
00:43No! It wasn't me! Alaric! No!
00:47Hey! No!
00:48The guards dragged me away, shoved me out into the wastelands.
00:52I fell to the bottom of the cliff. Blood poured beneath me.
00:56It blew dozens of globes.
00:58They tore my flesh to shreds. I died.
01:02A second later, my eyes snapped open.
01:05I gasped for air. I was reborn.
01:07Back on the day of the ceremony, before the nightmare began.
01:11Evelyn! You look stunning today!
01:13I grabbed her hand tightly, shoving her away in pure disgust.
01:18Seraphina! You look stunning to me.
01:20I turned to the center of the altar, cutting Alaric off before he could claim me.
01:25Enter High Priestess!
01:26Everyone at the ceremony turned in confusion toward the priestess in white robes.
01:31High Priestess! Before the ceremony begins, I request the rite of truth!
01:41Seraphina rubbed her wrist, glaring at me. At those words, her face went instantly pale.
01:46The priestess raised her staff. The vision of me fucking a rogue flared above the altar.
01:53Evelyn, what is this?
01:54Seraphina gaped at me. She never expected me to play her trump card first.
01:58The exact proof she used to ruin my last life.
02:02Keep watching.
02:03The next second, the face in the vision peeled away. It was Seraphina's personal maid.
02:09You bitch! How dare you frame my sister!
02:12Without a flinch, she snapped her maid's neck.
02:17Evelyn, I'm so sorry! I had no idea this slut was trying to set you up!
02:23I stepped over with a sneer and leaned down to her ear.
02:26Save your tears, Seraphina. Your little games won't work on me this time.
02:31Evelyn, that's enough! She's your sister! It wasn't her fault!
02:35He wiped her tears away gently, then glared at me.
02:39You're about to be the Luna of Salarian. Show some grace.
02:42Watching him shield Seraphina, I shook my head with a bitter laugh.
02:46How stupid was I in my past life, while he was busy fucking Seraphina.
02:51I waited like a loyal dog, grateful he was even willing to mark me.
02:58All right. The ceremony continues. Evelyn, come here.
03:03Alaric let go of Seraphina and held his hand out to me.
03:06Alaric!
03:07I reject your mark!
03:13What did you just say?
03:15I, Evelyn, reject my fated bond with Alpha Alaric.
03:19At that, the crowd erupted in murmurs.
03:22The next second, Alaric's pupils shrank. Thick blood surged up in his throat.
03:29Seven of fatedly and held his sight against the fullest punishment in power.
03:33Enough to shatter both our wolf souls.
03:36He crashed to his knees, bracing himself against the altar.
03:39His wolf howled in agony, crashing inside him.
03:43But me. I felt nothing. No pain. No tearing. Nothing at all.
03:47Alaric looked up at me in shock, mouth dripping with blood.
03:50He couldn't understand why I felt no backlash.
03:52Evelyn! You'll regret this!
03:56He dragged his broken body up and yanked Seraphina over, right in front of everyone.
04:02He drove his fangs deep into her neck.
04:04Seraphina let out a sweet, breathy moan.
04:10No! She's not our mate! Stop!
04:13He didn't stop. I walked away without looking back.
04:20The Prince of Silver Oaks got dumped?
04:22I heard she rejected Alpha Laric's mark.
04:25Shhh! Hush!
04:27Her father threw a new mating ceremony tonight.
04:29Every alpha for miles showed up.
04:31I stood on the balcony, looking down at the sea of wolves below twelve alphas.
04:36All staring at me with burning eyes.
04:39Evelyn, make your choice.
04:41My father's voice was stern, yet expectant.
04:44I looked past those puffed up alphas.
04:46My eyes locked on the corner.
04:48A man stood there.
04:49No wolf scent at all.
04:51He leaned against a stone pillar in silence.
04:53Like none of this had anything to do with him.
04:55Like no one even noticed he existed.
04:57I gathered my dress and walked down the steps.
05:00The crowd parted on its own.
05:01I walked past every alpha.
05:03The alphas stood tall, thinking I'd pick them.
05:06Until I hit the darkest corner.
05:08The whole hall exploded.
05:10Is she out of her mind?
05:12He doesn't even have a wolf!
05:14The silver oaks princess picked that piece of trash from the shadow pack?
05:18Evelyn! Stop this nonsense!
05:20I said nothing.
05:21I just held my hand out to him.
05:23He slowly raised his eyes, paused for a split second.
05:26I took his hand.
05:27Surprise filled his eyes.
05:29But he didn't pull away.
05:30Instead, he laced his fingers with mine.
05:32A dark, golden pulse of energy flared between our palms.
05:36My silver wolf let out a wild, thrilling howl.
05:40Through the gasps and the boos, I raised our locked hands high.
05:45I choose him.
05:46My one and only mate.
05:49For this life and every life after.
05:55I won't allow this!
05:56The storm doors burst open with a violent kick.
05:59Alaric stormed in with his elite Salarian guards.
06:02Alaric's eyes swept over my gorgeous gown.
06:05A sick, possessive fire burned deep in his gaze.
06:08Evelyn, you're marrying a wolf-less piece of trash?
06:12All just to spite me?
06:13Serafina clung to his arm, hiding a dirty smirk behind her hand.
06:17Evelyn, why stoop so low?
06:19We all know you're still obsessed with Alaric.
06:21Tying yourself to a loser just hurts you.
06:24I feel so sorry for you.
06:25I shot her a look of disgust.
06:27Serafina, that mate mark on your neck looks hideous.
06:30Did he bite you out of spite or just desperation?
06:32Serafina flushed dark red.
06:35She stepped forward to bite back at me.
06:37Alaric flung her arm off in a strained strained wall.
06:40He was out of the wall in the wall, forcing every wolf to bow their head.
06:44You think I'd just stand by, watching you marry another man?
06:48You're mine.
06:49You will always be mine.
06:53He tipped his head down, hot breath ghosting across my neck.
06:57Come back with me, Evelyn.
06:59I can pretend none of this ever happened.
07:01I didn't struggle.
07:02I leaned close to his ear and gave a soft laugh.
07:05Alaric.
07:06You didn't look this desperate when you tossed me out of Salarian.
07:09His face turned to stone.
07:11I raised my hand, slowly peeling his fingers off my waist.
07:14One by one, like scrubbing off something filthy.
07:17When you marked Serafina, I didn't feel a thing.
07:20Do you know what that really means?
07:23It means you were never my fated mate!
07:26Alaric, you are absolutely nothing to me!
07:29His pupils dilated wildly.
07:30The blood drained from his face.
07:33Savage's anger took over his eyes.
07:35They lunged out to grab him again.
07:37The hand had a hole snapped around his wrist.
07:41She said no.
07:42Are you deaf?
07:44Alaric flinched.
07:45That hand looked weak.
07:46But he couldn't break free.
07:51A wolf-less piece of trash.
07:53You really think you can stop me?
07:57I'll count to three.
07:58Drop to your knees.
08:00Hand her over.
08:01I might let you live.
08:02Caspian didn't move.
08:03Three.
08:05Two.
08:06Alaric's elite guards unleashed their arms.
08:09One.
08:10Caspian finally looked up.
08:12Dark gold light exploded in his eyes.
08:14In a heartbeat, every guard behind Alaric dropped to their knees.
08:18Alaric's face went pale.
08:20He forced his shift.
08:22A massive gray wolf floored, lunging for Caspian.
08:26Mock me!
08:27Right now!
08:27He hesitated for a split second.
08:29Then he lowered his head and sank his fangs into my neck.
08:32Heared.
08:33It felt like an ancient seal shattering inside me.
08:37A giant black wolf towered at the hollow.
08:39Its dark gold eyes blazing.
08:41It was supposed to face the size of Alaric's great head.
08:44But the crowd froze in terror.
08:46The giant wolf fell on his head, glancing at the gray wolf charging in.
08:50Once again, Alaric's wolf flew across the hall, smashed through three stone pillars,
08:55and shrank back into his body with a cry.
08:57Alaric crashed to his knees in spat blood.
09:00Silence swallowed the hall.
09:02Then, every wolf knelt.
09:04Twelve alphas, not one stayed standing, but the black wolf that brought them all to heal.
09:09He turned around, walking toward me.
09:11Its huge head brushed gently against my palm.
09:14A low sound left it, soft as a murmur.
09:17A memory from my past life slammed hard into me.
09:19A pack of wolves had pinned him at the dirty ground, kicking him, beating him bloody.
09:24Everyone kept walking, blind to his pain.
09:27Only I stopped, kneeling in the mud to help him up.
09:30I hadn't even remembered his face.
09:33Caspian shifted back, resting on one knee in front of me.
09:38My Luna, you woke my inner wolf.
09:44This man, the one who made every alpha bone, now melt for me alone.
09:50The great alpha of Solarian really ran off his tail between his legs.
09:55One slaps him back to his human form.
09:57His wolf is terrified to shift now.
09:59The wolves of the shadow pack whispered among themselves.
10:01Their eyes stayed on me.
10:03Not hostile, just deeply curious.
10:05They wanted to know.
10:06Who was this girl that woke their king from a thousand year sleep?
10:10The lunar eclipse rose.
10:12The lunar eclipse rose.
10:12Caspian stood at the center of the altar, reaching his hand out to me.
10:16I walked up the stone steps, slipped my fingers right into his.
10:19The soul binding began.
10:21Under the blood moon, white and gold oils tangled together.
10:24I felt his wrath power flood my bones.
10:27The moan of the rite ended.
10:29Caspian did not let go of my hand.
10:30He pivoted to face his pack.
10:32Kneel!
10:33The entire shadow pack hit the dirt.
10:35Running me down, perfectly insane.
10:37Caspian looked down at me, my face glowing in those bold golden eyes.
10:41Then he spoke out to the quiet crowd.
10:43From this day on, she is the only Luna of the shadow pack.
10:47The pack held their breath.
10:48He released my hand and took a half step back.
10:50He, alpha of the shadow pack, stood behind him.
10:53And from this moment forward, only one person in this pack stands above me.
10:57His eyes settled on me, warm with the hint of a smile.
11:01It's her.
11:07Evelyn, do you have any idea how gorgeous you look tonight?
11:10The ceremony ended.
11:11The heavy oak doors slammed shut.
11:13Caspian shoved me hard against the wood.
11:15Trapped me between his arms.
11:17He rested his forehead against mine.
11:19His breath came hot and heavy.
11:21When you ran up to demand my mark, my wolf almost lost his damn mind.
11:26I stared back.
11:27Raw, desperate hunger churned in his golden eyes.
11:29So why are you still holding back?
11:31His Adam's apple bobbed.
11:33His knuckles turned bone, white against the door.
11:35I'm terrified of hurting you.
11:37I wrapped my arms around his neck and leaned to his ear.
11:40Caspian, when I chose you, I wasn't asking you to hold back.
11:44He froze.
11:45Then he crashed his mouth down on mine.
11:47His arms wrapped around my waist.
11:49He lifted me off the floor, tossing me onto the velvet bed.
11:53He bent over me.
11:54Lips brushing the fresh mark on my neck.
11:56His voice dropped to a moan.
11:58His wet kisses trailed down my neck and across my collarbone.
12:02My fingers grabbed thick handfuls of his dark hair.
12:05Our mate marks pulsed hot against our skin.
12:08Beating in perfect, wild rhythm.
12:10His inner wolf let out a deep, satisfied growl.
12:13Then he suddenly stopped, bracing himself over me, staring at those raw, golden eyes.
12:18Evelyn, why did you choose me?
12:21Out of every alpha in that hall, you didn't even glance at them.
12:25I pressed my fingers against his lips.
12:27Caspian, are we really gonna talk right now?
12:30I yanked him down by the neck, grazing my lips right against his.
12:34You've got something much more important to finish.
12:37His gaze darkened.
12:39That night, he didn't ask a second time.
12:44Damn it!
12:45Alaric knelt on the floor.
12:46He smashed his fist clean through the stone table.
12:49His power was draining away, strand by strand.
12:52You hate me?
12:53Silence.
12:54Talk to me!
12:55His inner wolf finally answered.
12:57Its voice was raw and exhausted.
12:59She is not our mate.
13:01I warned you.
13:04Enough!
13:07You threw our true mate away.
13:10Alaric punched his own chest.
13:11Thick.
13:12Metallic blood coated his throat.
13:14His wolf was right.
13:16Marking a fake mate triggered a brutal backlash.
13:18This was the price of betraying a fated mate.
13:21His power was fading.
13:23His senses were dull.
13:24Alaric!
13:25Seraphina crept closer.
13:26She reached out to hold him.
13:27Her inner wolf pushed out calming pheromones, trying to soothe his wolf.
13:31Alaric shoved her away.
13:33Seraphina crashed onto the floor.
13:35Don't touch me.
13:37His eyes were cold, staring at her like a stranger.
13:39Seraphina sat there stunned, her lips trembling.
13:42You marked me.
13:44You promised me.
13:46Alaric didn't even look at her.
13:48All he could see was Evelyn knocking away, her silver eyes holding no regrets.
13:52Do you feel it?
13:53His wolf spoke again.
13:55She severed the bond without a scratch.
13:57She never belonged to us.
14:00Alaric crunched his fists.
14:01So hard his nails cut into his palms.
14:04Blood dripped onto the floor.
14:09Evelyn, please.
14:11Give me one more chance.
14:12Alaric blocked the end of the hallway.
14:14Eyes bloodshot.
14:15The once proud Alpha looked like a total wreck.
14:18I messed up.
14:18I should never have marked Seraphina.
14:21I should never have cast you out.
14:22Alaric!
14:22I cut him off, leaning against a wall.
14:24I didn't even bother to stand up straight.
14:26You say you're sorry.
14:28Is that because you love me?
14:30Or because you feel your power fading?
14:32He froze in his tracks.
14:34I smiled.
14:35Your wolf grows weaker every day.
14:37That's why you came to me, right?
14:39I took a step closer, looking him in the eye.
14:41Alaric, the only person you've ever loved is yourself.
14:46His face went pale.
14:47His lips trembled.
14:48He could not say one word to fight back.
14:50Evelyn.
14:52My Luna, there you are.
14:53A deep voice came from behind me.
14:55Caspian walked over.
14:57His gold eyes swept over Alaric, like looking at Vernon.
15:00Then he bent down and lifted me into his arms.
15:02Let's go.
15:03The whole pack is waiting for you.
15:05I looped my arms around his neck, resting my head on his wide shoulder.
15:09When we passed Alaric, I didn't even spare him glance.
15:15Deep in the night, a shadow slipped into the inner chamber.
15:19She carried my scent.
15:21Seraphina crawled onto the velvet sheets.
15:23Her delicate fingers barely brushed Caspian's chest.
15:26A hand clamped around her throat.
15:28Caspian opened his eyes.
15:30His gold pupils looked cold as the predators in the dark.
15:33His grip tightened.
15:34He lifted her off the bed by her neck.
15:36Slammed her hard onto the stone floor.
15:38Seraphina let out a choked gas.
15:40The severe pain shattered her sweet fake mask.
15:43That cheap trick only works on a fool like Alaric.
15:46Caspian looked down at her from above.
15:48You thought a witch's potion could make you impersonate Evelyn?
15:52Seraphina slumped on the floor, clutching her bruised throat and coughing hard.
15:56Fear and bitter envy flashing in her eyes.
15:59How... how could you tell the difference?
16:02Because my wolf only bows to me.
16:05Footsteps echoed at the door.
16:06I leaned against the frame.
16:08Arms crossed.
16:09No anger in my silver arms.
16:10Just cold, heavy pity.
16:12Seraphina, first you stole my face.
16:15Now you steal my scent.
16:17I crouched down and caught her chill.
16:19What are you planning to steal next?
16:24Evelyn, please, forgive me.
16:26Seraphina knelt on the floor.
16:28Tears streamed down her face.
16:30Her voice shaking as she begged.
16:32I was just so scared.
16:34Alaric's wolf rejects me every day.
16:36He won't touch me or look at me.
16:37I just needed a protector.
16:39She cried like some fragile victim.
16:41Like everyone had wronged her.
16:42I crouched down and met her eyes.
16:45Saffafina.
16:46The last time you cried on your knees your hands were snapping a maid's neck.
16:49She faltered.
16:50You weren't scared when you framed me with a witch.
16:53You weren't scared watching me get dragged out of the pack.
16:55You weren't scared climbing into my mate's bed.
16:58I rose to my feet and looked down at her.
17:00Now that you got caught...
17:01You're scared?
17:03Seraphina's lips trembled.
17:04The fake tears dried up fast in her eyes.
17:07Replaced by a sick, twisted hatred.
17:10Evelyn, wipe that smug look off your face.
17:13Her voice turned toxic.
17:15You think you're so high and mighty?
17:17Everything you have, why can't it be mine?
17:20Why not?
17:21She scrambled off the floor.
17:22It's a thank you!
17:23Why not?
17:24Tear tracks still on her cheeks, but her face looked unhinged.
17:27Didn't Alaric love you?
17:29He still marked me in the end!
17:31Anything you can have, I can take!
17:33I watched her throw her psychotic fit, and I just smiled.
17:37Seraphina tired of playing the victim?
17:39This is the real you.
17:43The silver chain scraped across the stone floor, chiming through the silent hall.
17:48Seraphina knelt in the center of the Salarian Great Hall.
17:51Wrists locked in the silver chain.
17:53Alaric stood up from his throne, his eyes locked onto mine.
17:56Something tangled flashing in them.
17:58Evelyn.
17:59You.
18:01Alaric.
18:01I've returned your mate to you.
18:04I tossed the silver chain down like I was dropping trash.
18:07She used a witch's potion to steal my scent.
18:10I tried to crawl into my mate's bed last night.
18:13Seraphina!
18:14No!
18:15Alaric!
18:16Let me explain!
18:17Explain?
18:18Alaric stalked toward her.
18:20How dare you betray me!
18:22You abandon me first!
18:24Your wolf rejects me every day!
18:25You won't even touch me!
18:27Seraphina dropped the innocent act, screaming back at him from her knees.
18:31You only marked me to get back at Evelyn!
18:35You never cared about me!
18:38Shut up!
18:39Alaric slapped her heart across the face.
18:42The hall guards bowed their heads too terrified to make a sound.
18:45A smirk crept onto my lips.
18:47I turned to walk out the doors, leaving their screaming behind me.
18:51Let the dogs tear each other in part.
18:53What a spectacular show.
18:58Caspian.
18:59I melted against his bare chest, my fingers lazily tracing the soul mark burning on his collarbone.
19:04How did you know it wasn't me?
19:07Witch potions replicate a scent perfectly. You shouldn't have been able to tell the difference.
19:10He looked down at me, those dark gold eyes impossibly soft in the moonlight.
19:15You can fake a scent. You can mimic a heartbeat.
19:20He caught my wandering hand, pinning it over his racing heart.
19:24But my wolf doesn't know you by that.
19:26Then what does it know?
19:28He flipped us over, pressing me deep into the mattress, hovering above me, our foreheads resting together.
19:34The soul.
19:35His voice was low and sure.
19:37No matter what you look like, where you hide, even if you lose your memories, your wolf, your everything.
19:44He kissed my eyes.
19:45I will always find you.
19:47Then he kissed my lips.
19:48As your wolf has been calling to me, it never stopped.
19:51A lump caught in my throat.
19:52I wrapped my arms around his strong neck, yanking him aggressively closer.
19:56Then never let me go.
20:00Never.
20:01His kisses slid from my lips down to the mark on my neck.
20:05A soft bite.
20:06A slow lick.
20:07My spine arched off the bed, my fingers twisting into the tangled sheets.
20:12Our mate marks lit with a faint glow at the same time, beating violently in perfect rhythm.
20:21The war horn of the shadow pack ripped through the quiet night, sharp and brutal.
20:26Vampires crossed the border ceiling, pushing hard into shadow territory.
20:30Caspian strapped on his battle gear.
20:32The softness in his gold eyes vanished.
20:35The place for a cold train was empty.
20:37Evelyn.
20:38Stay here.
20:38Protect our people.
20:39I caught his wrist.
20:41Worry gripping my chest.
20:42You're going to the front alone?
20:44He flipped his grip to catch my hand, rubbing his thumb over my fingertips with a faint smile.
20:49Don't worry.
20:50I've got this.
20:51He kissed my forehead and strode out of the hall.
20:54Under the moonlight, the giant black wolf burst free, leading the elite shadows into the pitch.
21:00Black night.
21:00Inside the hall, the pack pumped.
21:02Pups wailing in terror.
21:04I stood in the center of the hall and swept my silver eyes over every terrified face.
21:08Listen up, everyone.
21:10The whole hall fell silent.
21:12Women and pups, fall back to the inner sanctum.
21:15All remaining fighters form defensive lines outside.
21:20Luna, you're just a-
21:22I am your Luna.
21:23I will die before I let anything happen to you.
21:26He guards our borders out there.
21:28I guard our home in here.
21:33Yes, Luna.
21:38Luna!
21:38The south wall is breached!
21:40A guard covered in blood stumbled into the hall.
21:43Voice shaking with despair.
21:45A second wave of vampires.
21:47They flanked the front lines.
21:48They're heading straight for us.
21:50Shh!
21:50The path broke at us.
21:52Scream.
21:52The flame echoed at the hall.
21:54The alpha is gone!
21:55We're dead!
21:56Drop the pumps and run!
21:57Go!
21:57The flame, a massacred blasted the stronghold's outer wall.
22:01Dust rained down thick from the ceiling.
22:04The gates were about to break.
22:05I squeezed my eyes closed, feeling Caspian's wild energy pulsing through the solar.
22:10He was drowning in his own blood.
22:12He couldn't fall back.
22:14Silence!
22:15Silver light ignited in my pupils.
22:17Nobody runs!
22:19Pups and wounded behind me!
22:21Every capable fighter, hold this damn door with me!
22:24I stepped up to the front lines, ready for the slaughter.
22:27The first cracks broke through the doors.
22:30The stench of vampire blood seeped into the hall.
22:33Demonic shrieks flooded the outside.
22:35I planted my feet and clenched my fists.
22:38Silver eyes locked on the ceiling broken door.
22:40Come on!
22:44The doors blew apart.
22:46I charged right in.
22:47The first vampire through the breach lost his weight on his claws.
22:50Protect the pups!
22:52Hold the line!
22:53The shadowed on its board.
22:54The grand hall turned into a slaughterhouse.
22:57Blood flew.
22:58Fangs and claws tearing into flesh.
23:00Screams echoing off the hall.
23:01My silver eyes tracked every movement.
23:04Anticipating.
23:05Dodging.
23:06Striking.
23:06One.
23:07Two.
23:08Three.
23:09More and more vampires piled up at my feet.
23:11The path watched my back.
23:13The fear in her eyes slowly turned into hope.
23:16Luna is holding the front.
23:18We do not fall back!
23:19The tide was finally turning.
23:21Until...
23:22Stop!
23:22A sharp voice cut through the chaos.
23:24I whipped my head around.
23:26A vampire had a lone pup by the throat, dangling him in the air.
23:30The pup kicked his tiny legs frantically, whimpers breaking out of him.
23:34Stop!
23:35He bared his teeth, sick blood dripping.
23:37Or I snap this little wolf's neck right now!
23:40Everyone froze.
23:42The pack looked at me in despair.
23:44The pup cried out.
23:45Luna!
23:46Help me!
23:47I slowly lowered my hands.
23:49My silver eyes locked onto the vampire.
23:51Let him go.
23:52I'm the one you want.
23:57Drop him, and I go with you.
23:59Luna!
24:00No!
24:00Nobody move!
24:02Put the pup down.
24:04Then I'll come over.
24:05He stared me down for three seconds, smirked, and tossed the pup onto the floor.
24:10The pup scrambled back to his mother, shaking and sobbing.
24:13The next second, cold silver chains snapped around my wrists.
24:17Searing agony burned through my veins.
24:20I clamped my jaw shut.
24:21Didn't make a sound.
24:23So this is the shadow Luna.
24:25More obedient than I expected.
24:27He yanked the chains and dragged me out, like a dog on a leash.
24:31Pack members dropped to their knees, weeping, growling.
24:33But nobody dared to move.
24:36The pitch black night swallowed me whole.
24:38Meanwhile, miles away on the front, Caspian ripped a vampire's chest wide open.
24:43Then he suddenly froze.
24:45A violent, burning pain flared through his soul mark, followed by a fading heartbeat.
24:49Evelyn!
24:51The giant black wolf roared at the moon, his gold eyes turning blood red.
24:58The silver chains dragged me onto the cold dungeon floor.
25:01I lifted my head and saw the man standing in the dark.
25:04Alaric?
25:04He leaned against the wall, arms crossed.
25:07A sick, twisted grin on his face.
25:09Surprised?
25:10It all clicked instantly.
25:12The vampire attack.
25:13The two-sided assault.
25:15The hostage threat.
25:16All his dirty work.
25:18You sold out to vampires to attack the shadows?
25:21Just to take me?!
25:22I told you.
25:24You will only ever be mine.
25:26He walked toward me then, crouched down, and caught my chin, forcing me to look at him.
25:30Caspian doesn't deserve you.
25:32He just picked up what I threw away.
25:34What you threw away?
25:36That's not what you said when you were begging on your knees for me to come back.
25:40Then he flashed in his eyes.
25:41He grabbed my throat and slammed me against the wall.
25:44You think marrying that stray curd gets you away from me?
25:47He lowered his head to my neck, lips hovering over Caspian's mark, breath burning against my skin.
25:53I'm going to leave my mark right beside this.
25:56The silver burned my wrists to the bone.
25:58I couldn't break free.
26:00Alaric, if you dare do that.
26:02I stared dead into his eyes.
26:05Every word coated in ice.
26:06Caspian will slit your throat!
26:12Alaric's fangs were just about to sink into the wall.
26:15The entire dungeon began to violently shake.
26:17The heavy stone wall of the entrance, shattered by a massive claw.
26:21Through the dust came the giant black wolf.
26:23His dark, gold eyes stained with blood-red fury.
26:26I warned you.
26:27Caspian shifted back.
26:29His eyes locked onto the bruises.
26:31Alaric's fingers had left on my throat.
26:33Don't touch my mate!
26:34Alaric forced his gray wolf to shift.
26:37Loaring as he marched himself at Caspian, Caspian didn't even bother to shift.
26:41He caught the wolf's claw in one hand and crushed the bone to dust.
26:45Alaric screamed and crashed to the floor.
26:48Caspian drove one foot onto Alaric's chest.
26:50The gross sound of cracking ribs echoed in the south.
26:54You colluded with the vampires.
26:56You chain up my luna.
26:57He looked down at Alaric.
26:59Giving you a dignified death is my last mercy.
27:03Caspian!
27:03My voice stopped him.
27:05He turned to me.
27:06The killing red washed out of his eyes.
27:08Only pain remained there.
27:10I leaned against the broken wall.
27:12Managed a weak smile.
27:13Can you get these chains off me first?
27:16He blinked.
27:17Then rushed to my side, gently tearing the silver bindings apart.
27:20His fingertips brushed across my burnt flesh.
27:23His hands were actually shaking.
27:26I'm so sorry.
27:27I was too late.
