00:07ARTHA
00:07Choose one of my sons as your mate.
00:10On my 18th birthday, Alpha called me up in front of the whole pack
00:13and told me to choose one of his sons my mate.
00:17Whichever I chose, he'd be the next Alpha.
00:20I didn't flinch.
00:22I picked Casey.
00:24Everyone knew I used to be stupidly in love with Cain.
00:27I'd confessed at every pack dance.
00:30Casey coldest meanest wolf we had total menace no one got close but they didn't
00:36know the truth in my last life I was bonded to Cain on the day of our bonding
00:41ceremony he slept with Lena my cousin my mom lost it
00:48ship Lena off to dust wolf pack to get bonded to their beta
00:56Cain he blamed me when he found out I was carrying his pup he made sure I saw him
01:04with every one of them it was torture when labor hit he locked me in the dungeon
01:12blocked everyone out my pup got crushed I died hating him
01:24maybe the moon goddess felt sorry for me she gave me a second shot I came back this
01:30time I let Cain keep Lena didn't think he would ever regret it I'd barely stepped
01:38out of the council hall crossing the training grounds when I spotted him
01:42Cain his curved blade slipped and hit the ground with a sharp clang landing three
01:53feet from my boots picket up the wolves frozen eyes locked on me waiting for a
02:02show I knew this game last life he treated me like his damn servant you dropped it you pick
02:10it up the training ground went dead quiet what did you just say damn Eve switching tactics
02:23weren't you all over him like two days ago now you're acting girl you were his simp clinging
02:29to him all the time you think you're dead daddy's proud of this act
02:44I told you to rest who said you could be out here look at Lena she's hurt and still helps
02:50me
02:50and you just standing there like a spoiled brat no sense of duty same old trick
03:00you just crawled out of my father's office didn't you what now pulling the pity card again
03:08playing up that story about your dad taking a blade for him begging to be my mate
03:14you're pathetic Eve always guilt tripping always scheming you've tried every trick to lock me down
03:20I clenched my sleeves voice flat didn't say a word the alpha called me he's hosting my coming of age
03:28ceremony himself the alpha's hosting her ceremony
03:33congrats man if the alpha's hosting her ceremony he's lining you up to take over
03:38don't forget us when you're alpha
03:42still let's be clear if we do end up bonded stay out of my business with Lena
03:50know your place or
03:54I won't be your mate unless you want a repeat of last time
04:00my chest seized what the hell did that mean did he remember too
04:07I stared after them then let out a quiet laugh of my own perfect
04:13wasn't planning to bond with you anyway
04:16on the day of my coming of age ceremony
04:18Kane showed up late
04:19her lips were swollen and fresh red marks scratched across his collisbone
04:25wolves nearby traded smirks
04:27no question what they'd been doing in the shadows
04:30in my past life I would have stormed over ripped off their masks demanded why
04:36they'd humiliate me at my own ceremony
04:39now I glanced once then looked away like they were dust on my boots
04:43Kane caught that flicker
04:46his hand shut out shifting Lena behind him
04:52when I didn't flinch he got twitchy
04:56then laughed low and mean
04:58what Eve playing saint now because you're scared I won't be your mate
05:01don't be dumb how about this
05:05after the ceremony meet me behind the mountain at the hot spring
05:08don't wear anything if your body's worth it maybe I'll let you in my bed
05:11how can you say that isn't my body better than hers
05:14Kane grinned pinching her cheek
05:16of course you're better a thousand times
05:19that hot spring it's yours
05:33the sound hit like a switch
05:35my past life slammed back
05:40he'd done this before
05:42humiliated me in front of the pack
05:43treated me like some chew toy
05:46I'd shaken with rage
05:48he'd just laughed
05:49said my shame turned him on
05:51someone tried to defend me once
05:53Kane shut them down
05:54called me a heat chaser who begged for his scraps
05:58pathetic
06:00I turned to walk away
06:03then his hand clamped around my wrist
06:09still pretending
06:10his grip tightened bone deep
06:15a wolf like you can't fake what you are
06:18watch your mouth
06:22he smirked
06:24oh you expect me to respect you
06:27we're bound to be mates
06:28do you really still need that
06:29who said
06:32I'm bonding with you
06:42then
06:43laughter
06:45loud
06:45ugly
06:46everywhere
06:47Kane laughed
06:48the hardest
06:49not bonding with me
06:50then who
06:51everyone knows you'd die for me
06:54what
06:55what
06:56Casey
06:58K.A.'s been rotting in the black forest for years
07:01everyone says he's feral
07:03skinned a graveclaw wolf who challenged him and left the carcass hanging
07:07you planning to bond with him
07:09trying to get yourself killed early
07:12what nothing to say
07:14didn't you have all that fire a second ago
07:17or are you finally scared
07:21Eve probably remembered the stories about Casey
07:25she gave Kane's sleeve a dainty tug
07:28but her eyes drilled into me
07:30if she really bonds with him
07:33there might not even be bones left to bury
07:40a few young wolves scusaled
07:43right on cues
07:44in my past life I probably would have lunged at Lena
07:47and yanked her hair out
07:49but this time
07:51different
07:56who I choose isn't your business
08:00Lina's smile
08:01Lina's smile tricked
08:01then she grabbed her chest and started coughing
08:04shoulders shaking uncontrollably
08:11Eve
08:12Eve
08:12don't be like that
08:15I was just worried about you
08:19you did take a hunt for silver dagger for Kane
08:23remember
08:23she leaned hard into me
08:27next thing I knew
08:28she stumbled back
08:29like I'd shoved her
08:30and dropped to the floor
08:33with a dramatic thud
08:37even if you hate me
08:39you can't push me
08:41my leg
08:41it hurts so bad
08:45he stepped in front of her
08:47like a shield
08:47fury rolling off him
08:49really Eve
08:50that jealous now
08:58she's your sister
08:59hey
09:00Lena was just my cousin
09:01but once she moved in
09:02everyone assumed otherwise
09:08didn't even touch her
09:13still lying
09:17the whole pack knows
09:18you're jealous of Lina
09:21if you hadn't clung to me back then
09:23I wouldn't have even noticed you
09:25Kane don't
09:27Eve's probably just
09:30upset
09:31she always thought you'd pick her
09:33soft words
09:35sharper than claws
09:36whispers started up
09:38same ones from before
09:39that I was forcing the mate bond
09:42hiding behind my father's name
09:44that I couldn't handle
09:45my own sister
09:46these rumors stuck
09:48like spit
09:48from jealous she-wolves
09:50filthy and hard
09:51to scrub off
09:53Kane's rage snapped
09:54he raised his hand
09:56and slapped me
09:57across the face hard
09:58you'd better behave
10:00touch Lena again
10:01and I'll throw you out
10:02of Silvermoon pack myself
10:05the sting on my cheek
10:06spread like fire
10:07I wanted to hit back
10:08but out of the corner
10:10of my eye
10:10I saw the guests
10:11shifting around the venue
10:13this was my coming-of-age ceremony
10:15causing a scene
10:16would only drag
10:17the Abel name
10:17through the dirt
10:18Lena stayed tucked
10:19behind Kane
10:20she leaned into his chest
10:22like she rehearsed it
10:23that smirk
10:24still playing on her lips
10:31maybe he realized
10:32he'd gone too far
10:34his throat bobbed
10:35like words were stuck
10:45Kane my leg hurt so bad
10:49what if I never walk again
10:52pulling every bit
10:53of his attention
10:53the whispers crashed in
10:55like waves
10:56their stares hit
10:57like poison needles
10:58no manners
10:59she'd go after her own
11:01sister over a mate
11:02as if she ever had a shot
11:04Kane would never choose her
11:05apologize to Lena
11:07you think you can cling
11:08to our next alpha
11:09just cause your dad
11:10took a silver arrow
11:11for his
11:15I remembered everything
11:18breaking myself for Kane
11:19training like hell
11:20just to scare off
11:21anyone who dared
11:22glanced his way
11:24thought being ruthless
11:25meant love
11:28now it just felt sad
11:30Kane threw me
11:31a disgusted glare
11:32why are you still
11:34standing there
11:34if something happens
11:36to Lena
11:36you'll regret it
11:45father's about to
11:46announce our engagement
11:47be smart
11:48stay in your lane
11:52once the bond's sealed
11:54I'll give you the rank
11:54you deserve
11:55just don't mess with me
11:57and Lena
11:57I stared him down
11:59locked on those eyes
12:05a horn blasted
12:07long and hollow
12:10the beta strode in
12:15Miss Abel
12:16it's time
12:16his cloudy eyes
12:18landed on my
12:19bruised cheek
12:20pity flickered
12:21behind him
12:23a figure in black hood
12:24low jaw sharp
12:25as Sin
12:26a silver edged blade
12:28strapped across
12:29his back wolf fang
12:30pendant
12:30swinging like it
12:32had a heartbeat
12:36Casey moonfoot
12:37Theron's oldest
12:39just back from
12:39the black forest
12:41silence hit like a
12:42punch
12:42a few pups up front
12:44nearly dropped
12:45someone fumbled
12:46a wine bowl
12:47crash
12:49flames hissed
12:50as the liquor met
12:51fire
12:51even the beta trick
12:56he'd just skinned
12:57a challenger
12:58from Graveclar
12:59pack
13:00still reeked
13:02of blood

16:43the alpha's
16:45word is
16:45final
16:46Eve has
16:47chosen
16:47case
16:47as her
16:48mate
16:48no that's
16:49wrong
16:49something's
16:50off
16:54Eve
16:55tell them
16:56you picked
16:57me
16:58father just
16:59he got it
16:59twisted
17:00right
17:00right
17:05I chose
17:06case
17:07he is my
17:08mate
17:08now
17:08the only
17:12one
17:18cain
17:19cain
17:41cain
17:42for, get him out! Unless you're begging for a fight too. They snapped to it, hauling Cain back
17:49as he kicked and fought. Eve! Say something! Tell them it's wrong! You chose me! Therion clicked a
18:00hand. The Beta handed me a carved wooden box, etched with the Silvermoon totem. Miss Abel,
18:14a gift from the Alpha. May your bond strengthen the pack. I stared down at it, something flickering
18:22in my chest. Inside was the Alpha Crest, passed down for generations. The one Cain spent his
18:36whole past life chasing. At the banquet, torchlight danced along the stone walls. I scanned the
18:44crowd. No sign of Cain. I turned Berry Wine in hand and smacked straight into a solid chest.
18:57The sharp scent of pine hit me. My eyes burned. Back then, when Cain locked me in that cellar,
19:08it was Case, who kicked the door down and carried me out, barely breathing. He was wrecked, bleeding
19:24everywhere, snarling at the wolves crowding us. Touch her again and I'll skin you alive, bury
19:30you with her. After I died, he turned that dungeon into a bloodbath, dragged every one of Cain's
19:38dirty secrets, straight to Theron. I'd already left my body by then. Just a soul watching
19:43him take on the whole pack for me. That is when it hit me. This brutal wolf had always
19:49put me first. Since I came back, that voice inside hasn't shut up. Choosing him is right.
20:04Once the feast kicked off, Theron made his move. He just pointed, straight to the empty chair on his
20:12right. Every wolf in the froze. That seat meant one thing. K was the next alpha. He took it without
20:23blinking. The whispers exploded instantly. The lone wolves? Bonding with me?
20:34Right in the middle of all that buzz, Cain crashed the party. Stumbling through the crowd,
20:40completely wasted, looking absolutely pathetic.
20:43Father, you can't approve their bond. Get him out of here. If he can still stand,
20:50he can crawl to his quarters. Don't disgrace us.
20:57Eve and I, we grew up together. We and the getter each other. Eve and I, we, you can't tear
21:06us apart.
21:08Oh? Poopode sweethearts? Funny.
21:14I remember it differently. Eve, care to clear that up?
21:21Alpha, I'm not sure why Cain would say that. I've always seen him like a brother. He's the one chasing
21:28Lena, not me.
21:35Ever love you? I always have.
21:39I get it. You're jealous. Still pissed I gave the Arctic Foxfer to Lena, huh? Using Case to get
21:48back at me? You shouldn't say that. I'm forming a mate bond with Case.
21:57You're mine! You can't!
21:59Cain's hand barely moved before Case's grip snapped right around his arm.
22:06Sweat instantly breaking out on his face.
22:11She's my mate. You think you can touch her?
22:18With one sharp twist, he slammed him to the floor. Cain just curled up, groaning.
22:31Know your place.
22:34This is Eve's coming of age.
22:37Don't make me spill blood.
22:41You disgrace.
22:44You're grounded.
22:46Three months.
22:47Stay in your quarters and think.
22:52Eve!
22:53Tell him you love me!
22:57I didn't even glance
22:59while it's his way.
23:00Just turned to K.A. with a quiet smile.
23:06Our bonding ceremony was locked in
23:08for the next full moon.
23:12One morning before that,
23:13I found him waiting at the edge of the training grounds.
23:16He didn't say a word.
23:18Just watched.
23:20Everyone out there thinks I'm a monster.
23:22That I've killed too many.
23:25I don't know.
23:30Aren't you scared of me?
23:36Scared of what?
23:46Scared I'll snap one day and hurt you.
23:49Not that it matters.
23:51Even if you were, it's too late.
23:54Whether you regret this or not,
23:56I'm not letting go.
23:58You're mine.
24:02Eve,
24:03in this life,
24:04you're only mine.
24:06Facing down the pack for me
24:08in our last life,
24:09my chest tightened.
24:12I've never regretted anything.
24:14And I'm not scared of you.
24:18I dropped the bow and walked to him,
24:20taking slow, steady steps.
24:30I've heard what they say.
24:32But I know you're not the monster
24:34they make you out to be.
24:36You.
24:38I chose you,
24:39Case Moonfei.
24:45From the start,
24:47I never doubted it.
24:53His throat bobbed.
24:55He reached out,
24:56his fingers wrapping around my wrist,
24:58steady and warm.
25:00Eve,
25:01don't forget you said today.
25:03His voice dipped,
25:04gravel rough.
25:05I won't.
25:13When I got back to the tent,
25:15Lena was at the fire,
25:16flipping meat.
25:22She spun around when she heard me,
25:24eyes full of poison.
25:27You really know how to fake it,
25:28huh?
25:29Acting like you're all in with Case
25:30when you're scared out of your mind.
25:35What?
25:35Kane suddenly wasn't good enough,
25:37so now you're throwing yourself
25:38at that psycho?
25:40Just wait.
25:41When Case finally snaps,
25:44you'll be the first body he drops.
25:49Before I could fire back,
25:51Chaos burst out.
26:03A guard's voice rang out,
26:06panicked.
26:08Miss Abel!
26:10Kane's here!
26:11He brought men!
26:14I yanked open the tent flap
26:16and stepped into the sunlight.
26:20Kane,
26:21surrounded by a few goons,
26:23with the rest of the pack
26:25closing in,
26:26eyes glued to the scene
26:27like it was prime drama.
26:32Kane,
26:33you're here to take me with you, right?
26:35I...
26:36I...
26:38I...
26:39I...
26:41Kane didn't even glance at her.
26:44He walked straight to me
26:47and pulled a ruby-stuckled silver moon ring
26:51from his coat,
26:52held it up like it meant something.
26:56Eve, I messed up.
27:00But I'm here now.
27:01Give me another chance.
27:07I'll spend my life making it right.
27:10I'll never let you suffer again.
27:13Swear it.
27:14Disgust churned in my gut.
27:18Did you forget?
27:20Weren't you head over heels,
27:21Felina?
27:29Eve, please.
27:30It was all a misunderstanding.
27:32No one compares to you.
27:33You're the only one I've ever loved.
27:36Funny.
27:41That's not what you said before.
27:43You told me once we were bonded
27:44I needed to stay obedient,
27:45stay quiet,
27:46and never question
27:47what you did with Lina.
27:49I was confused.
27:51I didn't mean to hurt you.
28:02Kane, you said you loved me.
28:04You said I was sweeter than Eve.
28:06You promised we'd be mates
28:07after the full moon.
28:08Shut up!
28:16Kane backhanded her so hard
28:18her head snapped sideways.
28:20The same brutal hit I knew too well.
28:23Red rents bloomed across Lina's cheek.
28:25She grabbed her face,
28:26eyes wide,
28:27stunned.
28:34Slut, you seduced me.
28:37If it weren't for you,
28:39Eve would have picked me.
28:45You're just a scheming little wolf.
28:47You were never good enough
28:48to stand next to me.
28:50So he'd known the truth all along.
28:52He just chose to lie.
28:54Again.
28:57How could you ever compare to Eve?
28:59She's true able blood.
29:01You?
29:02You're just her mum's distant cousin,
29:04a tag-along nobody the pack took pity on.
29:13Did you actually think
29:14I'd become your mate?
29:17I gave her everything.
29:19Let her have the spotlight,
29:21the praise,
29:22and still,
29:23she clawed for more.
29:24Even my mate.
29:26I'm not a tag-along nobody!
29:28I'm not!
29:29You think I don't see it?
29:31Your blood,
29:33your rank,
29:33nothing stacks up to Eve.
29:35You're not even worthy
29:36to be her servant
29:36and you thought
29:37you could be my mate.
29:48Cain lunged.
29:49Grab on my wrist.
29:51Eve, wait!
29:55Eve, don't leave!
29:58You saw it.
30:00I'm done with her.
30:01I swear,
30:02I'll never go near her again.
30:03Just give me one more chance.
30:08Cain,
30:09have some respect.
30:10I'm about to be your sister-in-law.
30:18Maybe being the Silvermoon Alpha's son
30:20made you think everything
30:21should fall into your lap.
30:23There is one thing
30:24you'll never have.
30:26What?
30:30second chances.
30:33There's no second chances
30:34in this life.
30:36I made sure
30:37every word hit.
30:39I turned to be your sister-in-law.
30:40I turned to the crowd.
30:41Voice,
30:41loud and steady.
30:44Casey and I will be bonded soon.
30:46Hope to see you all at the ceremony.
30:49Cain moved to follow,
30:51but I tore free
30:51and walked off,
30:53slamming the tent flap
30:54shut behind me.
30:55Told the guards,
30:57no one gets in.
30:58They're drama.
30:59I was done with it.
31:06The morning of the bonding ceremony.
31:08I was up before the sun.
31:12Case stepped in,
31:14pushing back the tent flap,
31:15cradling a bunch
31:16of fresh astray leaves,
31:18dewy and wild
31:19from the cedar woods.
31:23He wasn't anything like Cain.
31:26Cain was wildfire.
31:28Loud.
31:29Cocky.
31:30Always looking for trouble.
31:34Case.
31:35Icebound fang.
31:37Sharp jaw.
31:38Blade straight nose.
31:39Eyes locked ahead
31:40like nothing could shake him.
31:42Everyone said he couldn't,
31:43love.
31:43But I remembered the way
31:45he tore through the dungeon
31:46to get to me.
31:47And now,
31:48seeing that same tension
31:49in his lips,
31:50heat bloomed in my chest.
31:52Last time,
31:53trailing behind Cain,
31:54my gut twisted with dread,
31:57praying he wouldn't Blake now.
32:12Then he stopped cold.
32:18Cain stood dead center.
32:20in front of the moon goddess statue.
32:22Full ceremonial gear.
32:25Blocking our way.
32:26No one thought he'd actually
32:27crash the ceremony.
32:32He had completely lost it.
32:35Case lowered me to the ground.
32:37He started to step forward alone.
32:41But I grabbed his wrist
32:43and moved beside him.
32:48From now on,
32:50we face everything together.
32:52He looked at me.
32:54The morning light
32:55hit his eyes.
33:02Then Cain saw our hands.
33:05His wolf snapped.
33:07His wolf snapped.
33:29Eve, come with me.
33:31Let's swear before the moon goddess.
33:33You were always mine.
33:34Unreal.
33:35The same wolf who tossed me aside
33:37now begging like it meant something.
33:41Cain,
33:42if you're here to witness
33:42the ceremony,
33:43stay.
33:44But if you're here to wreck it,
33:46whatever happened next,
33:47that's on you.
33:50Witness?
33:51You told me you'd only ever love me.
33:54Swore you'd never bond
33:56with anyone else.
34:03Cass!
34:17You're insane.
34:18Why would you block it
34:19with your hands?
34:20We need a healer!
34:21Now!
34:22Now!
34:28You used to worry about me like that.
34:31Now you won't even look at me.
34:33He is my mate.
34:35Who else would I care about?
34:39Guards swarmed in,
34:40slamming Cain to the ground.
34:43He fought like a feral,
34:45howling and thrashing.
34:52Cain, stop!
34:53I'll go with you!
34:54I'll give up everything!
35:04Moon Goddess,
35:06hear me!
35:07I was wrong!
35:08Just one more chance,
35:09I'll protect Eve
35:10forever!
35:12I swear she'll never suffer
35:14again!
35:16Take him to the dungeon.
35:19The Alpha can decide
35:21what happens
35:22after the ceremony.
35:29Case grabbed my wrist
35:30with his good hand
35:31and led me up to the altar,
35:33right before the Moon Goddess.
35:35Under her gaze,
35:37we completed our bond.
35:39Later,
35:39I heard Theron
35:40tore into Cain himself,
35:42then banished him
35:43to the forest edge.
35:44No orders.
35:46No entry.
35:47Silver Moon
35:48was off limits for good.
35:52Night had already settled
35:53when K.O. came in.
35:55I was curled up on the bed,
35:57watching as he shut the door
35:58with a solid thunt.
35:59What,
36:00you planning to stand there
36:01guarding the door all night
36:02after the ceremony?
36:03I tapped the spot beside me.
36:05Get over here.
36:07He didn't say a word,
36:09just walked over,
36:10pulled off his robe,
36:11and let it drop.
36:12His back was all muscle and scars,
36:13some old,
36:15some fresh,
36:15warrior-proof.
36:16Then he leaned down,
36:17arms braced on either side of me,
36:19breath hot with cedar lacquer.
36:20Didn't someone just tell me
36:22to get in bed?
36:23I looked up at that jaw,
36:24sharp as ever,
36:25and reached for his ear,
36:26burning,
36:27just like I thought.
36:29What?
36:29I grinned.
36:33Scared?
36:33He gave a low chuckle,
36:35then bit the corner of my lip,
36:36just enough to sting.
36:39You're mine.
36:40What would I be scared of?
36:42Then stopped.
36:43Let me ask you something.
36:44What?
36:46Back then,
36:48wolves say you would have died for Cain.
36:50His fingertip brushed my collarbone.
36:52You really done with all that?
36:54With him?
36:56Done with what?
36:57I looped my arms around his neck,
36:59pulling close.
37:01I was blind before.
37:03Now I know exactly who's worth it.
37:10A smart girl.
37:13He pulled his shirt off,
37:14revealing pale scars crossing his chest
37:17like forgotten battle maps.
37:18I touched the largest one.
37:21Even had a rotum.
37:25You don't have to be gentle with me.
37:27I know.
37:38I know.
37:43He covered me.
37:45Warm, solid.
37:47Every kiss was a claim.
37:49Every touch, a promise.
37:50You don't know.
37:56I know.
38:16Hitting deeper, until the world just fell away and stars exploded.
38:35Afterward, his usual sharpness softened into something vulnerable.
38:40He sank his teeth into my neck.
38:48Three moons later, I got the news.
38:50By then, Casey was the alpha, but seeing my belly, he just froze.
38:59His skin burned hot, fingers still shaking.
39:08Eve, we're having a pup.
39:13I just nodded, smiling.
39:16Autumn rains hit hard.
39:18Landslide crushed the forest's edge.
39:22He got pinned under the rubble.
39:25Eve, you came.
39:30Let me end this, for good.
39:38I knelt beside Cain.
39:41Blood was everywhere.
39:42Thick, metallic.
39:44His dead eyes flickered.
39:46Do you remember, in our last life?
39:51He coughed blood, voice torn to shreds.
39:56You bonded to me under the moon goddess statue.
40:01Said it would be forever.
40:03Said you'd plant moon petals in the yard.
40:05His fingers clawed at the mud like he was digging up ghosts.
40:09You had a pup.
40:11She had your eyes.
40:12Chased fireflies in the yard.
40:21Then I laughed cold and sharp.
40:32Keep repeating it.
40:34Maybe one day, you'll believe it.
40:37You.
40:38You.
40:43I remember everything.
40:46You locked me up.
40:47I died.
40:49Me and our pup.
40:50Full of hate.
41:06Let's go.
41:11Rain slammed down, pounding the rubble, washing away the rot of the past.
41:18I leaned into Kayab's chest, letting the sound of his heartbeat ground me.
41:24never over again.
41:25I believed I was finally free.
41:25In my most beautiful day, I was finally free.
41:26I'm free.
41:31To祝 you were free.
41:34The end of your life has never felt better.
