Short filmTranscript
00:00In my past life, the first decree Arthur made upon ascending the throne was to shatter my legs, ruin my
00:07face, and slaughter my entire tribe.
00:11My name is Serena. I was the gift, a sacrificial offering from the Darkmoon tribe to the Winterwolf royal bloodline.
00:19By royal decree, whichever Alpha successfully claimed me would command the absolute fealty of the Darkmoon tribe.
00:26The old Alpha King had even sworn a sacred oath. The mate I chose would be the one to wear
00:32the crown of the Winter Kingdom.
00:35Like a blind fool, I chose Prince Arthur, the male I had adored for years.
00:40To mend the flaws in his lineage, I committed the ultimate heresy, invoking the forbidden arts of my people to
00:47extract my own silver wolf heartblood.
00:49I poured my very life essence into him, forcefully awakening the dormant, diluted Prime Alpha gene within his veins.
00:57But the moment the crown touched his head, he turned on me.
01:01He ordered my beauty defiled, my limbs broken, and my kin hunted to extinction.
01:06The ironclad cavalry of the Winterwolves trampled the Darkmoon forest into ash.
01:11It was once the grandest domain of the North, the sacred cradle of the last spring of revival left by
01:18the Moon Goddess.
01:19You think I give a damn about being king? If you hadn't been so shameless, forcing that repulsing mate bond
01:26to chain me to your side!
01:28Alara and I would have been the freest, most envied pair in all the North!
01:31You drove Alara to a hollow, broken death. Now, I want your life as payment.
01:38A bone-piercing chill, intertwined with agonizing pain, swallowed me whole.
01:44As my life ebbed away, I sacrificed my very soul to the Moon Goddess.
01:52I will have my debt paid in blood.
02:00I opened my eyes and found myself back on the day it all began.
02:11Arthi, I'm back.
02:13In my past life, the first decree Arthur made upon ascending the throne was to shatter my legs, ruin my
02:21face, and slaughter my entire tribe.
02:24My name is Serena.
02:26I was the gift, a sacrificial offering from the Dark Moon tribe to the Winter Wolf royal bloodline.
02:32By royal decree, whichever Alpha successfully claimed me would command the absolute fealty of the Dark Moon tribe.
02:40The old Alpha King had even sworn a sacred oath.
02:43The mate I chose would be the one to wear the crown of the Winter Kingdom.
02:48Like a blind fool, I chose Prince Arthur, the male I had adored for years.
02:54To mend the flaws in his lineage, I committed the ultimate heresy, invoking the forbidden arts of my people to
03:00extract my own Silver Wolf heartblood.
03:02I poured my very life essence into him, forcefully awakening the dormant, diluted, prime Alpha gene within his veins.
03:10But the moment the crown touched his head, he turned on me.
03:14He ordered my beauty defiled, my limbs broken, and my kin hunted to extinction.
03:19The ironclad cavalry of the Winter Wolves trampled the Dark Moon forest into ash.
03:25It was once the grandest domain of the North, the sacred cradle of the last spring of revival, left by
03:31the Moon Goddess.
03:32You think I give a damn about being king?
03:35If you hadn't been so shameless, forcing that repulsing mate bond to chain me to your side!
03:41Alara and I would have been the freest, most envied pair in all the North!
03:45You drove Alara to a hollow, broken death.
03:48Now, I want your life as payment.
03:52A bone-piercing chill, intertwined with agonizing pain, swallowed me whole.
03:57As my life ebbed away, I sacrificed my very soul to the Moon Goddess.
04:06I will have my debt paid in blood.
04:14I opened my eyes and found myself back on the day it all began.
04:24Arthi, I'm back.
04:26I had actually returned to the day of the Blood Moon mating ceremony.
04:30The old king sat high upon the Iron Throne, looking at me with a benevolent expression,
04:35though his ancient eyes were filled with calculation and hope.
04:39Serena, look closely at these disappointing alphas of the Winter Royal family.
04:45Which of them is worthy of your bloodline and fortunate enough to become your mate?
04:51I didn't see answer immediately.
04:53Instead, I turned my gay oldly in a specific direction, toward Arthur, the mate I had chosen in my past
04:59life.
05:00He stood expressionless, his back rigid and straight.
05:03His gaze by harassed the crowd, landing clingily on the Omega, Alara, who stood below the dors.
05:11Sensing my stare, he quickly withdrawn to his eyes, a flash of impatient disperse crossing his face.
05:17I sneered inwardly.
05:19Arthur, since you value absolute power, and the throne less than a low-ranking Omega reeking of cheap, sickeningly sweet
05:27pheromones,
05:27I will gladly grant your wish.
05:30Below the dais, nobles draped in luxurious furs whispered among themselves.
05:35Everyone in the keep knows Princess Serena is completely bewitched by Prince Arthur.
05:41Today's blood-moon bonding is just a formality.
05:44Arthur is truly lucky.
05:46His wolf form is so weak, yet he managed to win the princess's favor, easily securing the throne.
05:53Everyone waited in anticipation, expecting me to walk toward Arthur with eyes full of love, just as I had in
05:59my past life.
06:01The alliance had lasted for a century, and in this generation, I was the sole pure-blood silver wolf princess.
06:08To possess me was to secure the protection of the North's vastest dark forests and its ancient magic.
06:15I smiled and leaned in to whisper into the old king's ear.
06:20The old king looked pleased, nodding continuously before turning to look at Arthur.
06:25Arthur's face instantly paled.
06:27He pushed through the crowd, dropping heavily to one knee, before the old alpha king and bowing his head.
06:33Sire, I am honored by Princess Serena's misguided affection.
06:37I know this bonding concerns the kingdom's lifeblood, and I am willing to accept the princess.
06:44However, from the very moment I laid eyes on Alara, I felt a pull to her very soul, a connection
06:50Serena could ne'er give me.
06:52I beseech you, sire, grant my request.
06:55I wish to renounce my mate-bond with Serena, and claim Alara as my true mate.
07:03Insolent!
07:03Father, hear me out!
07:05I know Serena is hopelessly devoted to me.
07:08To appease the other tribes, we can simply claim Serena as my wife in name only.
07:14But the actual mate-bond must be forged with Alara.
07:17Enough!
07:19Before Arthur could finish, the old alpha king rebuked him harshly.
07:23The old alpha king's face flushed crimson, his chest heaving, as the terrifying era of a top-teap alpha swept
07:29through the hall, suffocating the surrounding nobles.
07:31What status does that low-ranked omega of unknown origins have?
07:36To delusionally think she can sit as an equal with the Dark Moon Princess?
07:41You are out of your mind!
07:43Withstanding the old alpha king's furious area, Arthur clenched his jaw and stood firmly in front of Alara to shield
07:51her.
07:52Alara's bloodline may not be as noble as the princess's.
07:55What status does that low-ranking omega of unknown origins have?
07:59But precisely because of that, I must stand up for her.
08:03If I cannot even protect my beloved omega, how will I protect the subjects of the North in the future?
08:08At Arthur's word, the old alpha king could not hide his disappointment, and the couriers below sighed continuously.
08:17In Arthur's heart, did the ancient magic of the Dark Moon Forest and the easily attainable throne really pale in
08:24comparison to a mere omega?
08:26The old alpha king sighed deeply, confirming one last time.
08:31Arthur, are you absolutely determined to choose that omega?
08:35Arthur nodded slowly, his tone resolute.
08:38I beg, father, to grant this!
08:43The moment his words fell, a tearing, agonizing pain erupted in my chest.
08:47It was the physical backlash of the mate bond being unilaterally severed.
08:52A heavy stench of blood surged in the back of my throat, and my fingernails instantly shifted into silver blades,
08:58digging fiercely into my palms to force down the mouthful of blood that nearly spewed out.
09:03It hurt, it hurt, but this pain was not even a fraction of the agony I endured at the bottom
09:10of that icy abyss in my past life.
09:13Seeing Arthur so stubbornly set on his path, the old alpha king looked at me with deep guilt, waved his
09:20hand helplettly.
09:23Dismissed. The ceremony will be rescheduled.
09:27I lipped a trace of blood slipping from the corner of my lips, watching Arthur and Allara holding each other
09:33tightly in the center of the great hall,
09:35acting as if they had won the world.
09:38I pulled my gaze away from Arthur.
09:40Past the gossiping nobles, my eyes locked on the darkest corner.
09:43A towering silhouette lurked there, but he is the only true prime alpha.
09:47You threw away the throne, Arthur.
09:49This time, I give it to a real monster.
09:51The old alpha king stormed out in a fit of rage.
09:55Leaving only the hushed, gossiping whispers of the nobility echoing in the great hall,
10:01I descended the steps of the high dais.
10:03Walking into the center of the hall, my eyes fixed on its deepest, most secluded shadow.
10:08As I passed through the center of the hall, Arthur was already holding that frail omega tightly in his arms.
10:15He had misinterpreted the old alpha king's delay, whispering to comfort the woman in his embrace.
10:20Allara, did you hear that?
10:22What? Father didn't outright refuse.
10:27Soon, I will give you a proper title, and we will be together forever.
10:33Allara lowered her eyelashes and moved to devotion.
10:35She looked exactly like a shivering white rabbit tossed into a wolf stem.
10:39Just as I was about to walk past them, she acted as if she was startled by my presence.
10:44She violently shrank back into Arthur's arms, offering me a timid, trembling curtsy.
10:50Before I could even speak, Arthur pulled her back into his protective hold, his gaze stabbing toward me like an
10:57icy blade.
10:59Serena, if you have any dissatisfaction, take it out on me.
11:03Don't vent your anger on Allara!
11:08She has a weak constitution, and cannot withstand the oppressive orima of a high-ranking alpha.
11:13In the future, you two will share equal status.
11:18I looked at him coldly, finding it almost laughable.
11:22I hadn't even lifted a single finger, yet he actually believed I was using my alpha-rank pressure.
11:28Bully his beloved Omega.
11:30Furthermore, had this idiot misunderstood something?
11:33The old alpha-ranking had merely announced that the ceremony was postponed.
11:38Where on earth did he get the confidence to think I would still bond with him?
11:42Seeing Arthur defend her so publicly, Allara shyly tugged at his sleeve.
11:47Her voice so soft, it practically dripped water.
11:50Your Highness, as long as I can be with you, I am willing to be an untitled consort.
11:59Please don't argue with the princess because of me.
12:03You are going to rule the North in the future.
12:05These passive-aggressive words made Arthur want to coddle her into his very bones.
12:10Silly girl.
12:12Arthur glanced at me, his face full of arrogance.
12:16Flowing through my veins is the awakened prime alpha blood.
12:21When I ascend the throne, the entire North will submit to me.
12:25Why should I care about a woman's mood?
12:27He stepped toward me, his voice dropping to a dark, threatening whisper only the two of us could hear.
12:33Serena, you'd best behave.
12:35If you stay obedient when I take the throne, you sacrificed to me back then.
12:40I might bestow a place for you so you have something to rely on in the keep.
12:46Otherwise...
12:46In my previous life, Ilara accidentally fell into the freezing lake by the keep.
12:52Although she was rescued by the trolling guards, her lungs were severely damaged by the icy water.
12:58Leaving her bedridden until she died of organ failure a few years later.
13:03Arthur stubbornly blamed it all on me.
13:05He believed I deliberately ignored her cries for help.
13:08And intentionally delayed the rescue.
13:11Because of that, he tortured me and even took his wrath out by slaughtering my entire dark world's mind.
13:17Looking at this foolish man who couldn't tell right from wrong.
13:20The murderous intent in my heart nearly burst forth.
13:23He actually thought he carried the destiny of an ancient wolf emperor.
13:26It was the biggest joke in the North.
13:28I suppressed the surging violence in my eyes and pulled my lips into a cold smile.
13:33Your devotion to Lady Allara is truly profound.
13:36In that case, I prematurely congratulate you both.
13:40Hoping your bloodline will be as enduring as your love.
13:44Arthur scrutinized me with some surprise.
13:46Seemingly trying to find jealousy or insincerity in my expression.
13:51But he was destined to be disappointed.
13:53Without any lingering attachment, I walked past him toward the darkest, most secluded corner of the Great Hall.
14:00There, a tall, silent figure was hidden in the shadows.
14:05Bound in heavy, dark iron shackles and covered in terrifying old scars,
14:09he bore the marks of a royal killing machine.
14:12An abandoned pawn.
14:14It was Fenrir.
14:15In my previous life, when Arthur nailed me into the silver coffin at the end of the darkness and despair,
14:21I heard the sound of him frantically swinging his fraudsword to shatter his chains.
14:25He screamed my name as a volley of arrows pierced his body.
14:29His last drop of warm blood falling onto my fingertips.
14:33At that moment, I finally saw clearly what a pure and dazzling soul was hidden beneath the shell.
14:39They called a beast.
14:40I stopped in front of Fenrir.
14:42He sensed my approach.
14:43His body instantly tensing like a black panther ready to strike.
14:47Those heterochromatic eyes were full of vigilance, suppression and a trace of imperceptible longing.
14:53I reached out, my fingertips gently touching his cold, rough iron chains.
14:59Fenrir.
15:01In seven days, I will be waiting for you.
15:05You won't disappoint me, right?
15:09Fenrir didn't speak.
15:10But in that moment, I clearly saw deep within his soul.
15:14That dormant, liquid gold flame of true imperial power fiercely jolted my touch.
15:19Arthur suspiciously followed me over.
15:21Serena, what magnus has taken you?
15:23That is father's dog.
15:25A lowly bastard.
15:26You're actually touching a foul-smelling beast like him?
15:29I turned around, looked at Arthur's self-righteous face, and raised an eyebrow provocatively.
15:35Arthur, I gave you a chance.
15:40Unfortunately, you chose hell.
15:42I told you, the man I will marry was never going to be...
15:50I told you, the man I will marry was never...
15:53Arthur, don't be angry.
15:55Ilara rolled her eyes thoughtfully and spoke up before I could.
15:58A voice delicate, as if trying to smooth things over for me.
16:01Arthur, don't be angry.
16:04Although Commander Fenok has a lowly bloodline, he is still a knight protecting the keep.
16:09The princess's pity toward him is merely the benevolency of the Darkmoon tribe.
16:14Arthur scoffed coldly.
16:16No matter the pity, he is still a bastard who doesn't even know who his father is!
16:23Serena, you better mind your boundaries, and don't get tainted by the stench of such a lower life form.
16:30I had had enough of their passive-aggressive remarks and raised an eyebrow.
16:34I merely exchanged a few words with the Empire's commander.
16:38Speaking of boundaries, Ilara, an unmarked Omega who clings to the future crown prince all day like a parasitic vine,
16:45must surely have a deeper understanding of the world.
16:48Ilara's face instantly went deathly pale.
16:50Afraid she would overthink it, Arthur glared at me fiercely and hurriedly bowed his head to comfort the woman in
16:55his arms.
16:55I curled the corner of my lips, turned, and left the nauseating hall.
16:59Returning to my bedchamber in the tower, looking at all the traces Arthur had left behind over the years, a
17:06strong sense of disgust churned in my stomach.
17:09When we first met, he gave me a dire wolf-toothed necklace, which I used to wear close to my
17:15skin as a treasured possession.
17:17But looking at it now, it seemed stained with the blood of my Darkmoon tribe people from my past life.
17:24With my own hands, I swept everything in sight related to him into a wooden chest.
17:29It wasn't until the sky began to lighting that I collapsed exhausted onto the velvet bed.
17:35The suffocating darkness of the icy abyss from my previous life morphed into a nightmare so terrifyingly real.
17:43When I woke up again, three whole days had passed.
17:47Princess, you're finally awake! The rumors outside have practically flooded the tower!
17:52My personal maid, Ivy, stumped her feet.
17:54You don't know, but these past three days, Prince Arthur has been treating that Alara so well to please her.
18:02He actually spent a massive amount of fire element magic stones to build her a glass greenhouse in the freezing
18:08snow,
18:09just to plant her favorite white roses.
18:12Alara said her body was too weak for the extreme cold.
18:16So Arthur directly ordered a whole carriage of the Moonlight Cloud Silk,
18:21a tribute from the elves in the royal treasury, to be sent to her room for new dresses.
18:28I gave a dismissive smirk.
18:30Princess, how can you still smile at a time like this?
18:34Prince Arthur is protecting that two-faced snake as if she were his own eyeballs.
18:38If you really bond with him, won't it be the same as being cast aside?
18:44All right, Ivy.
18:46Didn't I tell you?
18:49I'm not choosing him anymore.
18:51With a loud bang, the heavy oak door was violently pushed open.
18:55Arthur strode in.
19:01Having heard my words clearly, a trace of shock flashed in his eyes,
19:06quickly replaced by his usual arrogance and content.
19:09Serena, if you really don't want to bond with me,
19:13why didn't you protest to father?
19:15You're just...
19:18jealous of how well I treat Alara.
19:21You deliberately talk to that lowly bastard Fenra.
19:24Playing hard to get, trying to force me to coax you the same way.
19:30I silently rolled my eyes.
19:32How blind was I in my past life to have missed how self-righteous and unreasonable Arthur was.
19:37Seeing me stay silent, Arthur walked straight to my vanity,
19:41his tone sounding like he was granting a favor.
19:43I came today to inform you.
19:46I came today to inform you.
19:50Half of the revival mana crystals and ancient artifacts you brought
19:53as your dowry from the Dark Moon tribe, I have ordered move to Alara's room.
19:58Don't worry.
19:59I don't covet your tribe's things.
20:01It's just that Alara's origins are humble,
20:03so I need to use these rare artifacts to bolster her status.
20:07Lest the other nobles look down on her at the ceremony in seven days.
20:12I snapped my head up, staring at him in disbelief.
20:17Arthur, those are the sacred relics my father prepared for me,
20:22exhausting the tribe's resources to ensure I had a foothold in the Winterkeep.
20:27What gives you the right to give them away to please an outsider without my permission?
20:30I had left my home since childhood.
20:33My father loved me dearly,
20:34and every dowry artifact contained his utmost love and protection.
20:38If you care for Alara so much, why not open your own private vault?
20:42Could it be that the Grand Crown Prince of the Winter Wolves,
20:46who speaks constantly of true love,
20:48is actually a shameless thief?
20:52Who is generous at the expense of others?
20:55Shut up!
20:56Knowing things are wrong, Arthur's face turned incredibly ugly,
21:00and his alpha aura faintly seeped out.
21:02I am merely giving you an opportunity to show goodwill to Alara.
21:05In exchange, on the night of our bonding,
21:08I will enter your room, bite the back of your neck,
21:11and leave you with the royal mate mark,
21:13preserving your dignity as the Dark Moon Princess.
21:17He paused, his gaze becoming icy and condescending.
21:20However, I promised Alara that aside from marking you,
21:24I will absolutely not touch you.
21:27After midnight, I will go to her room to spend my true wedding night.
21:33Arthur looked hoardy.
21:35I laughed out loud.
21:38I never said I would choose you at this bonding ceremony.
21:42Arthur, return the Dark Moon tribe's artifacts to me.
21:45Arthur frowned, seemingly sensing that the coldness in my eyes wasn't an act.
21:50He was about to lash out when his gaze swept to the corner of the room
21:53to the wooden chest I had just packed,
21:55topped with a direwolf tooth necklace.
21:56His tense shoulders instantly relaxed,
21:58and his eyes became certain and full of mockery again.
22:00Serena, I know you're upset,
22:03deliberately saying these harsh things to spite me.
22:06He pointed at the wooden box.
22:08If you've really given up on me,
22:10why can't you even bear to throw away this junk?
22:13Under his smug gaze,
22:15I walked expressionlessly to the wooden chest.
22:17I grabbed the heavy wolf-tooth necklace and the cheap magic crystals he had given me
22:22and walked to the edge of the tower's balcony.
22:24The biting cold wind whipped my long hair.
22:27I threw the necklace and the crystal without hesitation
22:30into the bottomless abyss of the ice lake.
22:32Serena, what are you doing?
22:36Since it's trash, it belongs where trash belongs.
22:40Take care.
22:41I won't see you out.
22:44You, well, well, well!
22:51The room fell quiet again.
22:53I didn't slump weakly to the floor to cry like I did in my past life.
22:58Instead, I tightly clenched my fists.
23:01Father, your daughter was useless in her past life,
23:04unable to even protect her own dowry.
23:07But in this life,
23:08for everything they take from the Dark Moon tribe,
23:11I will make them pay with their lives.
23:14Seven days later,
23:15the Blood Moon mating ceremony resumed.
23:18Ivy dressed Serena in the Dark Moon tribe's silver light armor,
23:22a black wolf fur cloak,
23:25and the dark silver thorn crown of a pureblood princess.
23:28Outside, Arthur,
23:29riding a tamed snowblast in his flashy golden red suit,
23:33stopped beneath her tower.
23:35What?
23:36Weren't you acting tough saying you wouldn't choose me?
23:39Yet here you are, waiting for me.
23:41Then he saw the thorn crown,
23:43and his face darkened.
23:45Serena!
23:46How dare you wear the Lunar Queen's crown?
23:48Men, take it off!
23:50The fully armed royal guards obeyed Arthur's orders,
23:53and charged forward aggressively,
23:55trying to restrain my shoulders.
23:57The silver claws at my fingertips instantly sprang out.
24:00Stop!
24:01Ready to slit their throats.
24:02A deep, rough voice with absolute pressure exploded like thunder in the wind and snow.
24:10Fenrir arrived,
24:12quickly knocked the guards down,
24:14and then shielded me in front of him.
24:17Before Arthur could react,
24:19the terrifying alpha pheromones radiating from him
24:22felt like an erupting volcano
24:24instantly suffocating the surrounding low-ranking members.
24:28Oh, look!
24:29Fenlog, you royal dog!
24:31Let go of the future crown, Miss Ness!
24:33My bonding with Princess Serena was ordered by the old Alpha King.
24:37Are you defying a royal decree?
24:39Serena, you hired this bastard to stage a bride-snatching act?
24:43Tell this peasant who your Alpha really is.
24:45I stepped out from behind Feniron,
24:48took his scarred hand in mine,
24:51raised it high,
24:52and smirked at Arthur.
24:54As you can see,
24:56I've told you more than once,
24:58the Alpha I choose
25:00was never you.
25:01I've told you more than once,
25:03the Alpha I choose
25:04was never you.
25:06Arthur staggered in disbelief.
25:09Impossible!
25:10You love me!
25:12You drained your life force to save me!
25:14He lunged at us.
25:17Unfilful son!
25:19But the old Alpha King's roar stopped him.
25:24Have you made enough of a scene?
25:27The King strode over with his elders.
25:30Father!
25:31You swore under the sacred tree
25:33that Serena's chosen mate
25:35would be the crown prince!
25:37He's a lowly bastard!
25:38He has no right to bond with the princess!
25:42The old Alpha King's eyes narrowed.
25:44Then his voice boomed across the square.
25:47What if I say he does have the right?
25:50Impossible!
25:52Arthur froze,
25:54his arrogant expression turning comical.
25:57Father,
25:58what do you mean?
26:00The old Alpha King ignored him,
26:03gesturing to the High Priest.
26:06Read the Oracle.
26:07The High Priest unrolled two decrees.
26:11The first declared my blood moon binding with Finnok.
26:15The second revealed Finnok's true bloodline.
26:17He was the King's son by a female warrior
26:19with ancient warwolf lineage,
26:21hidden for twenty years in a death row camp
26:23under dark iron shackles
26:24to protect him from assassination.
26:25Now,
26:26his shackles were lifted
26:27and he was named
26:28the new crown prince.
26:30Arthur had failed his duties
26:31for a pretentious Omega,
26:33so the King had no choice
26:34but to bring Fenwon into the light.
26:37As the priest chanting,
26:39Fenrir's shackles shattered.
26:40His pure,
26:41devastating,
26:42prime Alpha aura
26:43swept through the plaza,
26:45forcing every noble
26:46who had mocked him
26:47to their knees.
26:47In my past life,
26:50Arthur had learned
26:51of Fenro's identity
26:52and used me as bait
26:54to kill him with arrows.
26:57But now everything has changed.
27:00The old Alpha King urged Fendon
27:02not to miss
27:03the blood moon's auspicious moment.
27:06Fendon's savage hostility
27:08melted into tenderness
27:09as he brushed snow
27:11from my shoulder,
27:12lifted me onto
27:13a massive shadow snow beast.
27:15Arthur finally snapped
27:17out of his daze,
27:18grabbing the reins.
27:19Serena,
27:20don't bond with him!
27:20I'm the one you truly love!
27:22You're just angry about Allura!
27:23Come down,
27:24I'll beg father
27:24to make you the only lunar!
27:26I didn't even need to respond.
27:27Fenyo kicked him hard,
27:29sending him flying
27:29ten meters through the snow.
27:31In the blizzard,
27:32the snow beast carried me
27:33into Fenrock's obsidian fortress.
27:35It was the most remote
27:36yet tallest tower
27:37in the Winterkeep.
27:39That night,
27:40the blood moon hung high,
27:42rough black leather
27:43tangled with fine,
27:44dark silver hair.
27:46That night,
27:47the blood moon hung high.
27:48Rough black leather
27:50tangled with fine,
27:51dark silver hair,
27:52and primal,
27:54wild pheromones
27:55wrapped in scorching heat
27:56entirely swallowed me.
27:58The mate mark
27:59pierced deeply
28:00into the scent gland
28:01at the back of my neck,
28:02and the trembling sensation
28:04of our souls intertwining
28:05barely subsided by daybreak.
28:08The next morning,
28:10sore and grumpy,
28:11I watched Fenrock walk in
28:13with warm meat stew.
28:15On the battlefield,
28:16he was cold as death,
28:17but in bed,
28:19a crazed wolf.
28:20He chucked,
28:21scooped me up,
28:22and slid an ostidian hairpin
28:24carved with a dark moon totem
28:25into my silver hair.
28:27Since the day you first
28:28smiled at me on the ice field,
28:30I've wanted to put this
28:31in your hair.
28:32Thinking of his tragic death
28:33in my past life,
28:36look I broke down
28:37crying in his arms.
28:39Outside our chamber,
28:40I saw a vast patch
28:41of moonlight revival grass
28:43blooming in the snow.
28:45Your highness,
28:46all of these were planted
28:47by Lord Fennex personally.
28:48My maid Ivy revealed
28:50that Fenrir had collected seeds
28:52each time he passed
28:53the dark moon forest
28:54and planted them
28:55with his own hands,
28:56afraid I would miss home.
28:59I turned to look at him.
29:00His ears reddened
29:02as he awkwardly looked away.
29:09Later,
29:10we ran into Arthur and Allara
29:12in the royal corridor.
29:14Arthur was disheveled,
29:15Allara heavily dressed
29:16but exhausted.
29:18Ivy whispered that Arthur
29:19hadn't marked Allara at all,
29:21not even touched her.
29:22He had abandoned her
29:24on their mating night.
29:25Arthur stumbled toward me,
29:26eyes desperate.
29:27Last night I didn't mark Allara.
29:30I...
29:30I don't care.
29:32I cut him off coldly,
29:33pulled Fenor away.
29:34Arthur tried to grab my cloak,
29:36but Fenor's aura
29:37knocked him down.
29:38Don't go!
29:39Ten years ago,
29:40when I was pushed
29:41into the ice lake,
29:43I overheard Allara
29:44arguing last night.
29:45She wasn't the one
29:46who saved me,
29:47it was you!
29:48You used your pure blood
29:49to save my life!
29:50She stole the credit!
29:51I looked at his agonized face
29:53and sneered.
29:54So what?
29:55Whoever saved you
29:55is whoever you love.
29:57Your love is cheap
29:57and disgusting.
29:59Fenric wrapped an arm
30:00around my waist
30:00and led me
30:01and leave Arthur
30:01with only a...
30:02called back.
30:02After the royal audience,
30:04Fenrir used our marriage
30:05as a pretext
30:06to directly request
30:08a leave of absence
30:09from the old alpha king.
30:10He didn't trap me
30:12in the lifeless keep.
30:13Instead,
30:14he took me to inspect
30:15the northern defenses
30:16and even escorted me back
30:18to the edges
30:18of the dark moon forest.
30:20In Fenrir's territory,
30:22I didn't need to abide
30:23by royal etiquette.
30:25We could shift into walls
30:26and sprint wildly
30:28through the black moon forest,
30:34tearing into roasted meat
30:35by the campfire.
30:36This freedom
30:37and indulgence
30:38lasted for a whole month
30:40before I returned
30:41to the obsidian fortress,
30:42still wanting more.
30:46Ivy eagerly gossiped.
30:48Arthur had begged the king
30:49to revoke our bonding deed.
30:51The king forced him
30:52to kneel in a blizzard.
30:53Arthur had begged the king
30:54to revoke our bonding deed.
30:55The king forced him
30:56to kneel in a blizzard
30:57for eight hours.
30:58Meanwhile,
30:59Allura, desperate,
31:00bought a black market
31:01aphrodasian
31:01and drugged Arthur.
31:02When he woke,
31:03he slapped her,
31:04confined her
31:05and stripped her privileges.
31:06Now all the northern nobles
31:08laughed at them!
31:10At the winter solstice festival,
31:12I entered in a sleek
31:13crown princess gown,
31:15nourished by Fengor's pheromones,
31:17radiating a dangerous brilliance.
31:19Arthur shoved nobles aside
31:20to reach me.
31:21Serena, forgive me.
31:23I dove into the ice lake
31:24and recrieved all your dowry artifacts.
31:25Even the direwolf tooth necklace!
31:28He presented them
31:29like a begging dog.
31:30Then Allura began dry humping.
31:33Noble women gasped.
31:36Could she be carrying a pup?
31:38Arthur's face twisted in terror,
31:40not joy.
31:41Arthur,
31:42this is what you meant
31:43by you're the only one
31:44in my heart.
31:45He panicked,
31:46blaming the aphrodasian.
31:47Allura tried to cling to him
31:48but he threw her off.
31:49Cause this just to disgust Serena!
31:55The banquet ended.
31:58Arthur blocked our carriage,
32:00eyes bloodshot.
32:02If he dies,
32:03will you return to me?
32:06I slapped him hard,
32:08leaving bloody claw marks
32:10across his face.
32:11You
32:12disgust me.
32:14Fenrock lift me into the carriage,
32:16looking at Arthur
32:18like a corpse.
32:20Arthur's venom became real.
32:23Midwinter,
32:24tens of thousands
32:24of feral rogues
32:25attacked the Northern War.
32:27Arthur rallied his faction.
32:29Send Fenrock
32:30to the front!
32:31Demanding Fenrock
32:32be sent to the front lines,
32:34a meat grinder.
32:35I won't stay behind.
32:36I refused to stay behind.
32:38For six months,
32:40I worked in the infirmary,
32:41using Dark Moon's
32:43secret medicine
32:43and my blood
32:44to save soldiers.
32:47Earning immense respect.
32:50Six months later,
32:52just before returning
32:52to the capital,
32:53a dying man
32:54was dragged
32:55into my tent.
32:56It was Arthur,
32:58wearing rags,
32:59emaciated,
33:00reeking of rot.
33:03Serena,
33:04I had a nightmare.
33:05Serena,
33:06I had a nightmare.
33:08In the dream,
33:08I ascended the throne.
33:10I nailed you
33:10into a silver coffin,
33:12slaughtered the wolves
33:13of the Dark Moon Forest.
33:15I realized
33:16he was under
33:16the Dark Moon tribe's
33:18forbidden blood curse,
33:19experiencing
33:20past life nightmares.
33:22While I was gone,
33:23he had abandoned
33:24royal affairs.
33:26Ellara,
33:26desperate for status,
33:27had seduced
33:28low-ranking guards
33:29and was caught.
33:30The king had her poisoned.
33:32Arthur,
33:33tormented by nightmares,
33:34dragged himself
33:35to the front lines
33:36to beg my forgiveness.
33:37A few days later,
33:39Arthur died
33:39with a wretched wail.
33:41A blood crow
33:42flew from his chest
33:42into the Black Forest.
33:44I knew then,
33:46only my father,
33:47the Dark Moon tribe's
33:48leader,
33:48could cast that curse.
33:50He must also
33:51remember the past life.
33:52Father stepped
33:53through the tent flap.
33:54I burst into tears.
33:57He held me
33:58and explained,
33:59When you sacrificed yourself
34:00to awaken the reversal array,
34:02its power awakened me as well.
34:03Myself to activate
34:04the reversal array,
34:05the energy awakened him too.
34:07He had secretly
34:08protected me.
34:10During the border uprising,
34:12when Arthur hired assassins
34:13to kill Fenlog,
34:15Father's elite
34:15intercepted them all.
34:17Then he planted
34:17the blood curse
34:18to make Arthur relive
34:20the agony
34:20of the Dark Moon tribe's
34:21slaughter.
34:22I watched soldiers
34:24toss Arthur's corpse
34:25into an incinerator,
34:26feeling only peace.
34:29Fenoc's arms
34:30wrapped around me
34:30from behind,
34:31his voice laced
34:32with jealousy.
34:33My Luna,
34:35is another Alpha's corpse
34:36really that interesting?
34:38I want to lock you away
34:40so your eyes see only me.
34:42He nuzzled my neck.
34:43I turned and smiled,
34:45placing his calloused hand
34:46on my bare abdomen.
34:48You don't need chains.
34:49My soul and heart
34:51are already thoroughly
34:52marked by you.
34:53Besides,
34:54you now have
34:55an even stronger bond.
34:56His body went stored,
34:58his eyes dilated.
35:00Fenrir,
35:01we're having a pup.
35:03In this biting
35:04northern blizzard,
35:05I had finally grasped
35:07everything I cherished.
