03:57my chest seized what the hell did that mean did he remember too
04:05i stared after them then let out a quiet laugh of my own perfect
04:11wasn't planning to bond with you anyway on the day of my coming of age ceremony
04:16kane showed up late her lips were swollen and fresh red marks scratched across his collis bone
04:23wolves nearby traded smirks no question what they'd been doing in the shadows
04:29in my past life i would have stormed over ripped off their masks demanded why they'd humiliate me
04:34at my own ceremony now i glanced once then looked away like they were dust on my boots kane caught
04:42that flicker his hand shut out shifting lena behind him when i didn't flinch he got twitchy
04:54then laughed low and mean what eve playing saint now because you're scared i won't be your mate don't
05:00be dumb how about this after the ceremony meet me behind the mountain at the hot spring don't wear

05:11body better

05:47yours
05:48shame turned him on someone tried to defend me once kane shut them down called me a heat chaser who
05:54begged for his scraps pathetic i turned to walk away then his hand clamped around my wrist
06:07still pretending
06:08his grip tightened bone deep
06:13a wolf like you can't fake what you are watch your mouth
06:20he smirked oh you expect me to respect you we're bound to be mates
06:26do you really still need that who said i'm bonding with you
06:41then laughter loud ugly everywhere kane laughed the hardest not bonding with me then who everyone knows
06:51you'd die for me what what casey k has been rotting in the black forest for years
07:00everyone says he's feral skinned a grave claw wolf who challenged him and left the carcass hanging you
07:05planning to bond with him trying to get yourself killed early what nothing to say didn't you have all
07:13that fire a second ago or are you finally scared
07:19eve probably remembered the stories about casey
07:23she gave kane's sleeve a dainty tug but her eyes drilled into me if she really bonds with him
07:31there might not even be bones left to bury
07:38a few young wolves scusaled right on cues in my past life i probably would have lunged at lena and
07:45yanked her hair out but this time different
07:54who i choose isn't your business lena's smile tricked then she grabbed her chest and started coughing
08:03shoulders shaking uncontrollably
08:09eve don't be like that
08:13i was just worried about you
08:17you did take a hunt for silver dagger for kane remember she leaned hard into me
08:25next thing i knew she stumbled back like i'd shoved her
08:29and dropped to the floor with a dramatic thud
08:35even if you hate me you can't push me my leg it hurts so bad
08:43he stepped in front of her like a shield fury rolling off him really eve that jealous now
08:56she's your sister hey lena was just my cousin but once she moved in everyone assumed otherwise
09:06didn't even touch her
09:11still lying
09:14the whole pack knows you're jealous of lena
09:19if you hadn't clung to me back then i wouldn't have even noticed you
09:23kane don't
09:25eve's probably just
09:28upset
09:29she always thought you'd pick her
09:31soft words
09:32sharper than claws
09:34whispers started up
09:36same ones from before
09:38that i was forcing the mate bond
09:39hiding behind my father's name
09:41that i couldn't handle my own sister
09:44these rumors stuck like spit from jealous she-wolves filthy and hard to scrub off
09:51kane's rage snapped
09:53he raised his hand and slapped me across the face hard
09:56you'd better behave
09:58touch lena again and i'll throw you out of silver moon pack myself
10:03the sting on my cheek spread like fire
10:05i wanted to hit back
10:07but out of the corner of my eye i saw the guests shifting around the venue
10:11this was my coming of age ceremony
10:13causing a scene would only drag the abel name through the dirt
10:16lena stayed tucked behind kane
10:19she leaned into his chest like she rehearsed it
10:21that smirk still playing on her lips
10:29maybe he realized he'd gone too far
10:32his throat bobbed
10:33like words were stuck
10:43kane my leg hurts so bad
10:47what if i never walk again
10:49pulling every bit of his attention
10:52the whispers crashed in like waves
10:54their stairs hit like poison needles
10:56no manners she'd go after her own sister over a mate
11:00as if she ever had a shot kane would never choose her
11:03apologize to lena
11:05you think you can cling to our next alpha just because your dad took a silver arrow for his
11:10eyes
11:12i remembered everything
11:15breaking myself for kane training like hell just to scare off anyone who dared glanced his way
11:22thought being ruthless meant love
11:26now it just felt sad
11:28kane threw me a disgusted glare
11:31why are you still standing there
11:33if something happens to lena you'll regret it
11:43father's about to announce our engagement
11:45be smart stay in your lane
11:50once the bond's sealed i'll give you the rank you deserve
11:53just don't mess with me and lena
11:55i stared him down locked on those eyes
12:03a horn blasted long and hollow
12:08the baiter strode in
12:12miss abel it's time
12:14his cloudy eyes landed on my bruised cheek
12:18pity flickered
12:19behind him a figure in black hood low jaw sharp as sin
12:24a silver-edged blade strapped across his back wolf fang
12:27pendant swinging like it had a heartbeat
12:34casey moonfoot
12:35theron's oldest just back from the black forest
12:39silence hit like a punch a few pups up front nearly dropped
12:43someone fumbled a wine bowl
12:45crash
12:47flames hissed as the liquor met fire
12:50even the baiter trick
12:54he'd just skinned a challenger from graveclaw pack
12:58still reeked of blood
13:09casey stopped right in front of me
13:10what happened to your face
13:14voice sharp cut glass serious
13:20i met those deep blue eyes and saw it
13:24the memory
13:26him storming the dungeon blooded and wild
13:30holding my dead body like it broke him
13:36he went rogue for me
13:41it is nothing
13:45kane scoffed sliding between us
13:48eve's my problem don't stress he squared up
13:51she's about to be my mate
13:52i've got it handled
13:54the baiter frowned about to speak
13:57but cayenne shut him down with one look
14:09dad sent me
14:10said the apple girl's ceremony's a pack matter
14:12let's move
14:13i walked past kane
14:15steps steady
14:16kane was practically oozing smug
14:18like he already saw the alpha crest hanging around his neck
14:23the second the pack filled the great hall
14:25his silver white hair caught the lights
14:29dude was ancient like over a hundred but
14:32still stood like a legend he reached for my hand
14:36smiling
14:39big day
14:49eve's come of age
14:53and just like i promised her father
14:56she'll choose one of my sons as her mate
15:00when she does
15:02that wolf the next alpha
15:05gasps rippled through the hall
15:08all eyes snapped to kane
15:11some lit with envy
15:15yeah they all remembered how hard i used to fall for him
15:19now
15:21patting my hand
15:23let the chosen step forward
15:25i'll witness it myself
15:28kane shot up stelia chin high
15:30already halfway into his victory strut
15:32until theron threw up a hand
15:36then theron turned
15:39gaze softening toward the corner
15:44case

16:08why case is this some kind of screw-up
16:17father this has to be a mistake
16:31i might be old but i'm not losing it
16:34you think i'd mess up a choice to decide silver moon's future
16:41the alpha's word is final eve has chosen case as her mate
16:46no that's wrong something's off
16:52eve tell them

17:31the beta shoved between us ripping kane's hand off
17:39what are you waiting for get him out

17:44they snapped to it hauling kane back as he kicked and fought
17:48what was
17:48eve say something tell them it's wrong
17:55you chose me
17:57therian clicked a hand
18:05the beta handed me a carved wooden box
18:08etched with the silver moon totem
18:11miss abel
18:12a gift from the alpha
18:14may your bond strengthen the pack
18:17i stared down at it something flickering in my chest
18:24inside was the alpha crest
18:27passed down for generations
18:32the one kane spent his whole past life chasing
18:36at the banquet torchlight danced along the stone walls
18:41i scanned the crowd no sign of kane
18:48i turned berry wine in hand and smacked straight into a solid chest
18:55the sharp scent of pine hit me my eyes burned
19:03back then when kane locked me in that cellar it was case
19:08who kicked the door down and carried me out barely breathing
19:19he was wrecked bleeding everywhere snarling at the wolves crowding us
19:25touch her again and i'll skin you alive bury you with her
19:30after i died he turned that dungeon into a bloodbath
19:33dragged every one of kane's dirty secrets straight to theron
19:37i'd already left my body by then
19:39just a soul watching him take on the whole pack for me
19:43that is when it hit me
19:45this brutal wolf had always put me first
19:48since i came back that voice inside hasn't shut up
19:52choosing him is right
20:01once the feast kicked off
20:04theron made his move
20:06he just pointed straight to the empty chair on his right
20:13every wolf in the froze
20:15that seat meant one thing
20:17ke was the next alpha
20:19he took it without blinking
20:21the whispers exploded instantly
20:23the lone wolves
20:25bonding with me
20:32right in the middle of all that buzz
20:34kane crashed the party
20:36stumbling through the crowd
20:37completely wasted looking absolutely pathetic
20:41father you can't approve their bond

21:57his hand barely moved before k's grip snapped right around his arm
22:03sweat instantly breaking out on his face

22:15with one sharp twist he slammed him to the floor

25:00his voice dipped gravel rough

25:46before i could fire back
25:48chaos burst out
26:01a guard's voice rang out panicked
26:05miss abel
26:06i yanked open the tent flap and stepped into the sunlight
26:18kane surrounded by a few goons with the rest of the pack closing in
26:23eyes glued to the scene
26:25eyes glued to the scene like it was prime drama
26:29kane you're here to take me with you right
26:39kane didn't even glance at her
26:40he walked straight to me
26:45and pulled a ruby stuckled silver moon ring from his coat
26:50held it up like it meant something
26:53eve i messed up
26:57but i'm here now give me another chance
27:05kane

27:33funny
27:39that's not what you said before you told me once we were bonded i needed to stay obedient stay quiet
27:43and never question what you did with lena
27:46i was confused i didn't mean to hurt you
27:59kane you said you loved me you said i was sweeter than eve you promised we'd be mates after the
28:05full moon
28:05shut up
28:14kane backhanded her so hard her head snapped sideways
28:17the same brutal hit i knew too well
28:20red rents bloomed across lena's cheek
28:23she grabbed her face eyes wide stunned
28:31slutt
28:32you seduced me
28:35if it weren't for you eve would have picked me
28:42you're just a scheming little wolf
28:44you were never good enough to stand next to me
28:47so he'd known the truth all along
28:49he just chose to lie
28:52again
28:54how could you ever compare to eve
28:57she's true able blood
28:58you
28:59you're just her mom's distant cousin
29:01a tag along nobody the pack took pity on
29:10did you actually think i'd become your mate
29:14i gave her everything
29:16let her have the spotlight
29:18the praise
29:19and still she clawed for more
29:22even my mate

29:26you think i don't see it
29:29your blood your rank nothing stacks up to eve

30:46kane moved to follow but i tore free and walked off
30:50slamming the tent flap shut behind me
30:52told the guards no one gets in their drama
30:56i was done with it
31:03the morning of the bonding ceremony
31:06i was up before the sun
31:09case stepped in pushing back the tent flap
31:12cradling a bunch of fresh astray leaves
31:15dewy and wild from the cedar woods
31:20he wasn't anything like kane
31:23kane was wildfire
31:25loud
31:26cocky
31:28always looking for trouble
31:32case
31:33icebound fang
31:34sharp jaw
31:35blade straight nose
31:36eyes locked ahead like nothing could shake him
31:38everyone said he couldn't love
31:41but i remembered the way he tore through the dungeon to get to me
31:44and now seeing that same tension in his lips
31:47heat bloomed in my chest
31:49last time trailing behind kane
31:51my gut twisted with dread
31:54praying he wouldn't blake now
32:09then he stopped cold
32:15okay
32:16kane stood dead center in front of the moon goddess statue
32:19full ceremonial gear
32:22blocking our way no one thought he'd actually crashed the ceremony
32:29he had completely lost it
32:32case lowered me to the ground
32:34he started to step forward alone
32:38but i grabbed his wrist and moved beside him
32:45from now on
32:47we face everything together
32:50he looked at me
32:51the morning light hit his eyes
32:59then kane saw our hands
33:02his wolf snapped

35:30right before the moon goddess
35:32under her gaze we completed our bond
35:36later i heard theron torrent to kane himself
35:39then banished him to the forest edge
35:42no orders

35:44silver moon was off limits for good

38:18My jaws exploded.
38:32Afterward, his usual sharpness softened into something vulnerable.
38:37He sank his teeth into my neck.
38:39I love you.
38:44Three moons later, I got the news.
38:48By then, Casey was the alpha.
38:51But seeing my belly, he just froze.
38:56His skin burned hot, fingers still shaking.
39:06Eve, we're having a pup.
39:11I just nodded, smiling.
39:13Autumn rains hit hard.
39:15Landslide crushed the forest's edge.
39:19He got pinned under the rubble.
39:22Eve, you came.
39:27Let me end this.
39:29For good.
39:35I knelt beside Cain.
39:38Blood was everywhere.
39:40Thick, metallic.
39:41His dead eyes flickered.
39:43Do you remember in our last life?
39:48He coughed blood, voice torn to shreds.
39:53You bonded to me under the moon goddess statue.
39:58Said it would be forever.
40:00Said you'd plant moon petals in the yard.
40:02His fingers clawed at the mud like he was digging up ghosts.
40:06You had a pup.
40:08She had your eyes.
40:09Chased fireflies in the yard.
40:18Then I laughed cold and sharp.
40:29Keep repeating it.
40:31Maybe one day you'll believe it.
40:34You...
40:35You...
40:41I remember everything.
40:42You locked me up.
40:44I died.
40:45Me and our pup.
40:47Full of hate.
41:03Let's go.
41:08Rain slammed down.
41:10Pounding the rubble.
41:11Washing away the rot of the past.
41:15I leaned into Cain's chest.
41:18Letting the sound of his heartbeat ground me.
41:21I was finally free.
