00:00Gareth's legs are ruined. There's no wolf pack in North America that can heal them.
00:04When I said this, the entire Blood Moon Manor went silent.
00:09Trapped in the Blackwood chair, Gareth Thorn suddenly lifted his head, his pupils burning with fury.
00:15Shut that cursed mouth of yours! Get out of my territory!
00:18With a crash, the wine glass in his hand shattered at my feet.
00:22Looking at his frenzied state, I didn't feel anger, but instead, an unexpected sense of satisfaction.
00:30I was the last white wolf of the Vance family, with the rare healer bloodline.
00:35My blood could purify all dark magic, even neutralize deadly silver poison.
00:41In my previous life, after I used my healing blood to cure Gareth Thorn, the heir to the Blood Moon
00:48Pack, of his paralyzed legs.
00:50I learned that the Blood Moon Pack had publicly declared, whoever heals Gareth will become the future Luna of the
00:58pack.
00:58Gareth was forced to bond with me as his mate.
01:01Meanwhile, Serena Locke, the half-baked hedge witch who had once been connected to him, fell into despair and ultimately
01:08died in hopelessness.
01:09Gareth pressed a silver knife hard against my wrist, his eyes bloodshot.
01:15If it weren't for you forcing me to marry you under the guise of healing me, Serena wouldn't have died
01:20in despair.
01:21We could have completed the bonding ceremony and become fated mates.
01:24It was you, selfish, cruel she-wolf, who killed her.
01:29You deserve to die.
01:32He stood there coldly, watching, Nastbud to Lila.
01:41Watching as I took my last breath.
01:46When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day when Vivian, the former Luna of the Blood
01:52Moon Pack, had asked me to heal Gareth.
01:54This was the second chance Moon Goddess had granted me, after hearing my prayers just before death, during a lunar
02:02eclipse.
02:03This time, the Vance family's White Wolf would not waste a drop of blood on this devil.
02:08Get out!
02:08Gareth's pale neck bulged with veins as he pointed toward the door, roaring.
02:13Throw this liar and deceiver out!
02:16What kind of healer are you?
02:18Just a worthless she-wolf who can't even find a mate, daring to speak nonsense here.
02:25When Serena brews the potion, I'll make you beg me on your knees to lick my boots.
02:30I brushed off my coat and laughed mockingly.
02:34Gareth, a true alpha, commands a pack through strength and pressure, not by throwing tantrums like a whimpering pup.
02:40I look down at him.
02:41Since you've placed all your hopes in a third-rate witch and a vial of suspicious potion,
02:45I hope you rot on this useless iron chair for the rest of your life.
02:49Don't worry.
02:50Soon the whole Silver Pine Valley will know that the heir to the Blood Moon Pack is nothing but dead
02:55weight.
02:56I'll rip your throat out!
02:58Gareth coughed violently.
02:59A black blood stain at the corner of his mouth.
03:06Just then, a figure rushed into the hall.
03:10Gareth!
03:11Serena cried out, her eyes full of concern as she rushed to him, tightly embracing the man gasping for breath
03:18in the iron chair.
03:27She wiped the black blood from Gareth's lips with a handkerchief, then suddenly turned her head, shooting a venomous glare
03:33at me.
03:33Allura!
03:35How can you be so cold-hearted and vicious?
03:39Gareth is the heir to the Blood Moon Pack.
03:42You watched him die and did nothing to help.
03:45You're not worthy of the healer bloodline.
03:52I sneered.
03:53Since you're so concerned about your alpha, why don't you use that great hedge witch magic of yours to save
03:59him?
04:00Don't come here shouting at me. I'm not buying it.
04:04You think he can't survive without you?
04:06Serena bit her lip.
04:08Let me tell you, I already know the way to fully heal Gareth.
04:16Once I brew that potion and get him back on his feet, I'll make sure to smash that arrogant face
04:21of yours in front of the whole pack.
04:23An amateur witch who can't even properly cast a healing spell?
04:27She thinks she can cure the nerve damage caused by advanced wolf poison? That's pure fantasy.
04:33Is that so? If you really had a solution, he wouldn't be coughing like he's about to cough up his
04:38lungs.
04:41Serena straightened up, lifting her chin defiantly.
04:45Don't believe me?
04:47Then let's make a bet.
04:49If I heal Gareth, I want you kneeling in front of the Blood Moon Manor, apologizing and begging for mercy.
05:04A bet?
05:05I shook my head without hesitation.
05:07I refuse.
05:08Before Serena could show her mocking face, I adjusted the hem of my coat and spoke calmly.
05:13There's no need for a bet.
05:14With your amateur tricks, Gareth's only fate in this life is to sit comfortably in that chair, waiting to die.
05:21You cruel, heartless monster! Get out!
05:23Allura, you'll pay for your arrogance today! You'll regret this!
05:27Now!
05:28As their insults echoed behind me, I didn't stop, wrapping my coat tighter around me.
05:35I strode out of the manor.
05:37I gripped the steering wheel, my gaze fixed on the dark forest ahead.
05:42There, in the heart of the land, stood the most mysterious place on the continent, Shadowcrest Fortress.
05:50In my previous life, poisoned, he was on the brink of death.
05:54Back then, I stood by, too afraid to get involved in the pack's struggles, and I watched silently as the
06:01Alpha, who should have ruled the East Coast, perished in that long, torturing agony.
06:07This time, I wouldn't stand by and do nothing.
06:16I turned the car around, slammed my foot on the gas, and sped toward the Shadow Territory.
06:26When I reached the gates of Shadowcrest Fortress, the atmosphere was suffocating.
06:31The gods had red-rimmed eyes, vigilantly scanning every corner.
06:40Two werewolves blocked my path.
06:43Stop! This is Shadow Territory! No outsiders are allowed near!
06:49I'm Elora Vance. I've come to save your leader.
06:53I opened the car door and stepped out.
06:55Perhaps it was the certainty in my voice that intimidated them.
06:58They exchanged glances before stepping aside to let me through.
07:03Inside the fortress, chaos reigned.
07:07Lower-ranking wolves huddled in the hall, softly sobbing, while several core elders argued loudly around a physician.
07:16Useless!
07:17We've had so many doctors try and fail.
07:21What good are you?!
07:24Marcus, Julian's lieutenant, roared out in the wall.
07:28Lord Marcus.
07:29The physician shook his head in despair.
07:31The poison contains high-purity silver flakes and dark magic.
07:35It's already infiltrated the leader's cardiovascular system.
07:38Unless the moon goddess herself intervenes-
07:41Then move aside!
07:43My voice cut through the hole, sharp and sudden.
07:46Instantly, all conversation ceased.
07:49On the massive bed, Julian lay with his eyes shut tight, his complexion pale as paper.
07:55Deep purple veins of poison spread from his neck to his cheek.
07:59Who are you? Who allowed you in here?
08:02Marcus snapped, turning toward me.
08:05I'm the one who can keep him alive.
08:06I turned to face him, speaking each word deliberately.
08:11I'm taking responsibility for Julian's life.
08:14If you want him to live, shut up and get out.
08:18Go prepare hot water and clean bandages.
08:24I pricked my fingertip, slowly injecting the special serum infused with the blood of a white wolf into Julian's veins.
08:35The deep purple poison lines began to fade from his chest, and the powerful Alpha's self-healing mechanism slowly ticked
08:44back into action.
08:44For an entire month, Gareth kept his eyes tightly shut.
08:49But both Marcus and the healers of the Shadow Pack knew that the various medical readings were steadily rising.
08:56Their king was silently coming back to life.
09:00One month later...
09:03An invitation arrived at my apartment.
09:06The Blood Moon Pack was hosting a grand full moon celebration to witness Gareth Thorn's rebirth.
09:15I entered the banquet hall as promised.
09:17As soon as I stepped through the door, I saw Gareth sitting in a black wood iron chair, with Serena
09:23perched on his lap.
09:24The two of them were kissing each other without a care in the world.
09:27Look who's here! Our famous Vance fraud!
09:31Gareth shoved the woman off his lap, his eyes filled with mockery and malice.
09:35What's the matter? Has the Shadow Pack finally kicked your little charlatan self out?
09:39I heard that poor Julian is still lying there like a corpse, kept alive only by machines.
09:46Several elder wolves around us erupted into loud, mocking laughter.
09:51Gareth raised an eyebrow dismissively.
09:54Allura, there's no such thing as a white wolf healer myth in this world.
09:59The Vance family has just been peddling false legends.
10:02I've invited you here today so you can see for yourself.
10:07What really has the power to get me back on my feet?
10:15Serena smugly presented a gift box.
10:18Inside which was a crystal vial emitting a strange, enchanting fragrance.
10:23With all eyes on him, Gareth tilted his head back and drank the contents of the vial in one swift
10:28motion.
10:29In the blink of an eye, the bulging veins on his neck quickly flattened, and a powerful alpha energy erupted
10:36from within him.
10:37He pushed the metal armrests aside, and amid gasps of astonishment, stood up straight.
10:43He even stretched his shoulders, and his face instantly lit up with the unmistakable red glow of a top tier
10:50alpha.
10:51Goddess above, he really stood up!
10:53Someone gasped.
10:55Praise the goddess! Miss Locke's potion really has such miraculous effects!
11:00Another exclaimed.
11:01Serena strutted up to me, her eyes filled with arrogance.
11:06Did you see that, Allura?
11:08This is the power I brought to Gareth.
11:11She covered her mouth and laughed coquettishly, mocking me without mercy.
11:16Look at you, Allura!
11:17You spent all that effort using your so-called noble healing blood to treat Julian,
11:22and yet he lay there for a month without even blinking.
11:25Meanwhile, my Gareth just drank a potion and instantly returned to peak condition.
11:32Gareth stepped toward me, looking down at me with cold eyes.
11:36The truth is, Serena is my salvation.
11:39You, on the other hand, are just a pathetic parasite.
11:43Now that you see my healthy body, do you have any last words, you fraud?
11:51Faced with Gareth's arrogant challenge, I didn't panic like they expected.
11:56Instead, I picked up a glass of champagne from a nearby waiter's tray, elegantly taking a sip.
12:02I chuckled softly.
12:03Last words? No, Gareth.
12:06I'm simply offering you some free end-of-life care, as any professional healer would.
12:11At those words, Serena shrieked in fury.
12:14Allura, you're still talking back!
12:16You vile woman, you can't stand seeing Gareth thriving!
12:19He's strong enough to rip you apart now.
12:21And you think some curses can cover up your incompetence?
12:24Miss Locke, if I were you, I wouldn't be putting my hands on his waist right now.
12:31I looked at her with pity, my eyes full of derision.
12:35Can't you smell that?
12:37It's not the pure alpha pheromones he's emitting.
12:40It's the rancid stench of decay, like a dead rat rotting in a swamp.
12:45That's the scent of his muscle cells rapidly deteriorating.
12:48Gareth's face contorted with fury.
12:51He took a menacing step toward me, trying to use his intimidating presence to force me into submission.
12:56Shut your filthy mouth!
12:58You're just jealous!
12:59I feel powerful now, blood boiling in my veins, my body brimming with strength!
13:04As for that mutt, Julian rotting away in Shadowhawk fortress.
13:08He'll never open his eyes again.
13:10He'll just lie there like trash, with tubes shoved into every orasis until he decays!
13:19Julian is in a dormant state, allowing the wolf spirit to heal himself and receive the moon goddess blessing.
13:25I said, unwavering, staring directly into Gareth's eyes, a smile playing at the corner of my lips.
13:32And you, Gareth?
13:33You can't seriously believe that a bowl of mysterious black liquid can defy the laws of nature and instantly cure
13:39nerve damage, can you?
13:41I pointed at his neck.
13:43Go take a look in the mirror.
13:44Look at the veins in your neck.
13:46That's not healthy blood color, that's the black line of toxins flowing backwards.
13:50What you drank wasn't some miraculous potion.
13:53It's a neurostimulant from the black market, designed to drain the last bits of life force.
13:58Right now, it's blocking your pain and forcing your severed spinal cord together.
14:04Gareth breathing grew heavier.
14:06He touched his neck, sneering.
14:08You're just spouting nonsense!
14:10You damn she-wolf are just stalling!
14:12I'll have someone throw you out of Silver Pine Valley immediately!
14:15Don't be in such a hurry to get rid of me, Gareth.
14:18The show is just beginning.
14:20I swirled the champagne in my glass.
14:23Enjoy your last moment standing.
14:25Feel that surge of adrenaline giving you false strength.
14:28When the backlash of the drug bursts through your veins, you'll be writhing on the ground like a pitiful maggot.
14:35Gareth roared, raising his arm.
14:38You're dead today!
14:41However, just as he took his second step, the fury on his face froze.
14:46A chilling crack, crack sound came from his knees.
14:51No!
14:52My legs!
14:54Why can't I feel my legs?
14:56Gareth crashed to the floor.
14:59The more he struggled, the stronger the putrid stench became, with pus seeping from his suit pants, staining the floor
15:06with a disgusting, foul mark.
15:08Gareth!
15:09Gareth!
15:10This can't be- this can't be happening!
15:12Serena screamed in horror.
15:16She frantically waved her hands, trying to cast a healing spell with her hedge witch magic.
15:22But the faint green light vanished the moment it touched Gareth's rotting skin.
15:26The elders of the pack backed away, holding their noses.
15:29I told you, I said.
15:31I stood calmly in the center of the chaos, looking down at Gareth.
15:35I finished the last sip of my champagne, then gently set the glass down and clapped my hands together.
15:43Now that the blood moon pack so-called miracle is over, it's time to show you what real healing looks
15:49like.
15:49With a sharp click, the double doors at the end of the hall were kicked open.
15:54Amid the gasps of the crowd, a tall, powerful figure stepped into the room, silhouetted against the light.
16:01Julian? Julian Blackwood?
16:03The entire room erupted in shock. Julian's muscles were firm and strong,
16:08and the oppressive presence of a top-tier alpha made even some of the elders in the room struggle to
16:14breathe.
16:16Julian walked through the crowd without acknowledging anyone, heading straight to my side.
16:22He placed his hand on my shoulder. He leaned down slightly.
16:28Sorry, Allura. It took a bit longer to deal with those traitors in the shadow pack. I'm late.
16:33He turned his head, his piercing gaze landing on Serena, who was pale and trembling, and a sneer curled at
16:41the corner of his lips.
16:43I couldn't help but overhear. Someone was questioning Allura's medical skills?
16:47Julian took my hand and gently traced the pad of his finger over my palm.
16:52Allura, thank you.
16:57You gave me a second life. Not only did you cure the wolf poison in my body, but you also
17:03reshaped my bloodline.
17:04Gareth stared at Julian's legs, his blood blackened mouth oozing more poison before his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed
17:12unconscious.
17:14Serena, now lying on the ground, couldn't even summon the courage to look at Julian.
17:19After that disastrous full moon celebration, Gareth's messenger almost wore out the door to my apartment.
17:26From threats and bribes to boxes of blood moon packed magical potions and territorial contracts, he even sent a handwritten
17:34letter of apology.
17:35I didn't even bother opening the envelope. I had Marcus throw the garbage straight into the fireplace.
17:41That evening, I drove alone, heading to meet Julian for dinner.
17:45However, as I pulled into a driveway, two cars suddenly emerged from the shadows and blocked my path.
17:54The doors opened, and several blood moon wolves, their faces ashen, stepped out.
18:00With their heads bowed, they lifted a black metal wheelchair from the back seat.
18:05Gareth Thorne, the once unstoppable top tier Alpha, was slumped in the wheelchair.
18:11His condition, a mere shadow of his former self.
18:15I stepped out of the car, and surveyed the man before me with cold eyes.
18:19His long legs were completely severed from the thighs.
18:22His face had withered, his eyes sunken, and there was no trace left of the former Alpha's strength.
18:29Elora.
18:31The moment he saw me, Gareth's clouded eyes flashed with a crazed light.
18:36He desperately twisted the metal wheels of the chair to roll closer to me, but his forceful movements almost caused
18:43him to topple over.
18:44You're finally willing to see me. I knew you wouldn't be so heartless.
18:49I took a step back, avoiding his dirty hand as it reached for the hem of my coat.
18:53Gareth, are you insane?
18:56For a moment, Gareth's expression twisted, but he swallowed his emotions and tilted his head back, pleading with an utterly
19:03humbling posture.
19:04No, no, no! I'm here to apologize! Elora, please! Save me!
19:11His voice was frantic as he clutched the cold metal armrest.
19:15My amputated wounds are still rotting, and no ordinary doctor can stop the spread of the dark magic toxins.
19:24Only you, only your healing blood can save me, can make my legs grow back!
19:30If you heal me, everything in the blood moon pack will be yours!
19:34I swear I will be loyal to you alone from now on!
19:42Grow back your legs?
19:44Gareth, it seems that the wolf poison from the black market not only corroded your body, but also fried your
19:51brain.
19:51I look down at him coldly.
19:53Healing blood isn't a wish-granting pool, and I don't have the power to create something from nothing.
19:59You should go beg your true love, not block my path here.
20:03She's not a true love! She's a complete fraud! A scoundrel who belongs in hell!
20:09Gareth suddenly let out a heart-ranking scream, and with a violent gesture, he shouted at the guards behind him.
20:15Drag that woman here! Let Elora see my sincerity!
20:20With the sound of heavy chains dragging, a blooded woman was pulled from the trunk by two tall wolves,
20:28and thrown onto the gravel-covered asphalt with a harsh thud.
20:33It was Serena. Her red dress was torn into ragged strips, and her exposed skin was covered in brutal burns
20:39and claw marks.
20:41She lay there, barely alive, only able to gasp the breath, too weak even to scream.
20:47Do you see, Elora?
20:50Gareth pointed at Serena, his face contorted with hatred.
20:55This is all because of this vicious liar!
20:59She bought the poison from the black market! She blinded me with her lies!
21:05I was deceived by her, and that's why I did those terrible things to you!
21:14Gareth even struggled to lean forward in the chair, grabbing Serena's hair with difficulty.
21:20I've figured it out! She doesn't make healing potions!
21:24She's been trading poison through her hedge-witch connections on the black market!
21:29She destroyed my pride, and almost ruined our relationship!
21:36Gareth looked at me desperately.
21:38I've already punished her for you. I've broken her bones, piece by piece.
21:44Just say the word, and I'll snap her neck myself, myself to avenge you!
21:49Elora, forgive me, please! If you heal me, we can start over!
21:54Gareth, do you really think that by shifting all the blame onto a woman you've tortured into this state,
22:00you can wash away your own stupidity and cowardness?
22:03I looked at him coldly, my eyes filled with contempt.
22:08Gareth froze, opening his mouth as if to argue.
22:13Elora, I was really deceived by her.
22:17Shut up!
22:18I cut him off sharply.
22:20It wasn't her who deceived you, it was your own pathetic arrogance and pride that blinded you.
22:25You chose to believe her not because of some so-called love,
22:27but because you arrogantly believed that anything you chose must be the best.
22:31You never loved anyone, Gareth Thorn.
22:33You only loved that high and mighty version of yourself.
22:36Gareth's face turned pale instantly.
22:39I took a step forward,
22:41looking down at the man who once stood as the world's strongest alpha.
22:45Each word I spoke was a sentence to his fate.
22:49Listen closely, Thorn.
22:51Even if your blood drains drop by drop,
22:53even if your flesh rots in the mud of Silver Pine Valley,
22:57I will never waste another drop of healer's blood on you.
23:00Take your greed and your mess and suffer in the hell you created for yourself.
23:05With those words, I didn't spare him another glance.
23:08I ignored the feeble Serena on the ground and turned without condition to get into my car.
23:15No! Elora! You can't just leave! Come back!
23:21The roar of the engine drowned out Gareth's desperate scream.
23:25He flung himself at my car's rear, but in his frantic attempt,
23:29he and his chair tumbled into the muddy ditch by the side of the road.
23:33I pressed the accelerator,
23:37leaving his desperate cries far behind.
23:41Half an hour later,
23:42my car came to a stop at the edge of a redwood forest criff in Silver Pine Valley.
23:47There, Julian Blackwood had been waiting for some time.
23:50He had set up a candle-lit dinner,
23:53even lighting a bonfire nearby to war off the chill.
23:57Hearing the car, he turned,
24:00his deep gray wolf eyes soft and full of warmth.
24:04But just as I drew near,
24:08his sharp alpha senses made him frown slightly.
24:11You carry the stench of the blood moon pack,
24:14and an overwhelming sense of despair.
24:17Julian said as he quickly walked over,
24:20pulling me into his embraces with a protective fierceness.
24:24His eyes hardened in anger.
24:27Did Gareth, that useless fool, bother you?
24:30I'll have Marcus take his head off right now.
24:34No need to dirty the shadow pack's hands.
24:37I leaned against his broad, warm chest,
24:40feeling the strength of his heartbeat.
24:43My tightly wound nerves finally began to relax.
24:46I looked up at him and gave a small smile.
24:49He's just garbage, already consumed by the abyss.
24:53Every second he lives is torture,
24:56and for him, death would be a relief.
24:59Julian looked down at me,
25:01his fingers gently brushing a strand of hair from my face as he whispered,
25:04As long as you're okay,
25:06I won't allow anyone to make you suffer again.
25:10In the months that followed, Julian and I grew even closer.
25:13With the blood moon pack no longer interfering,
25:16the shadow pack under Julian's leadership rapidly expanded
25:20and became the undisputed ruler of the East Coast.
25:23And he, the iron-fisted leader who struck fear into the supernatural world,
25:27always put aside his sharp edge in front of me,
25:31showing me only his softest tenderness and affection.
25:34That was until the first snow of early winter fell in Silver Pine Valley.
25:39We stood at the top of Shadowcrest Fortress,
25:42overlooking the vast territory below.
25:45Julian suddenly wrapped his arms tightly around me from behind,
25:49resting his chin lightly on my neck.
25:51His alpha scent, mixed with the smell of fir trees,
25:56completely enveloped me.
25:58Elora.
25:58His voice was deep and smooth,
26:01tinged with a barely noticeable hint of nervousness.
26:03I was once a lone wolf,
26:05fighting in the darkness,
26:07thinking I would only ever be surrounded by blood and power.
26:10You took my life from the hands of death.
26:12And you,
26:13you gave this cold body a soul again.
26:19He gently turned me to face him,
26:21kneeling on one knee.
26:23From his coat pocket,
26:24he pulled out a moonstone antique ring.
26:27I don't need fangs and claws to conquer you,
26:29I offer you all my loyalty and my life.
26:31Julian looked at me with unwavering sincerity,
26:34his tone as solemn as a vow.
26:36Be my mate,
26:37be the Luna of the Shadow Pack,
26:38let me spend my life protecting you.
26:41Looking into the depth of his affection,
26:43warmth spread through my chest.
26:45The pain and betrayal of my past life
26:47were finally healed in this moment.
26:50I was moved to tears,
26:52just opening my mouth to say,
26:55I do.
26:56She doesn't want to!
27:00A scream rang out from the darkness.
27:04Several low-ranking wolves,
27:06pushing the heavy blackwood iron chair,
27:08came up the tower ramp.
27:10Gareth's eyes were bloodshot with madness,
27:12as he locked his gaze onto me.
27:15Ellora!
27:16You can't say yes to him!
27:18Just as the moonstone ring's soft glow flickered,
27:21Gareth's pupils suddenly dilated.
27:23I remember now!
27:25This ring!
27:26I remember everything!
27:27In our past life,
27:28we were a pair!
27:30It's my fault!
27:31I was blinded by that bitch Serena!
27:33I know now,
27:34you are my true fated mate!
27:36Please,
27:37come back to me!
27:37I stared at him in disbelief.
27:40I couldn't believe it.
27:41When he touched the moonstone ring,
27:44blessed by the moon goddess,
27:46Gareth was forced to awaken the memories of our past life.
27:49This was the moon goddess's cruelest punishment.
27:53Not only had she let Gareth's body rot,
27:56but she also forced him to relive every moment of how he had tormented me in the past life,
28:01only to lose everything in the end.
28:06Julian immediately stepped in front of me,
28:09his massive alpha aura bursting forth,
28:12his eyes cold as steel.
28:14Gareth, are you completely out of your mind?
28:16You dare stir trouble in my territory?
28:18Today, I'll snap your neck for good!
28:20Gareth ignored everything,
28:21his eyes filled with a sickly greedy gaze fixed on me.
28:25Allura,
28:26I know you've been reborn too.
28:28There's no way you would just stand by and watch me die in this life if you didn't.
28:33You hate me,
28:34because in the last life I drained your blood.
28:37It's all my fault!
28:40But I regret it.
28:41I truly regret it.
28:43I swear I fell in love with you long ago.
28:46Give me another chance, please!
28:48If you give me your blood and heal my legs,
28:51I'll take everything back!
28:52We can start over!
28:54I stepped out from behind Julian,
28:56looking at him with disgust.
28:59Gareth Thorne, what are you even dreaming about?
29:01This pitiful, abandoned state you're in right now?
29:03Doesn't it match exactly what you desperately chased in our past life?
29:06I've only made sure you're getting the end you deserve,
29:08and stop using the word love to nauseate me.
29:11I squeezed Julian's hand,
29:13and turned to leave without hesitation.
29:18No!
29:19Allura!
29:20You can't do this to me!
29:23Gareth's frantic hands pushed the heavy metal wheels of the chair.
29:26But his weak arms couldn't control the direction.
29:29The wheels got stuck in the cracks of the stone.
29:32And the chair, along with him, toppled heavily onto the cold ground.
29:36He struggled in the snow, desperately reaching his hand out toward me.
29:44Please, give me your blood.
29:48Give me another chance.
29:51I didn't even glance back, quickening my pace as I walked back to the warmth of the inner chambers.
29:57Back at Shadowhest Fortress,
29:59I told Julian everything about the hellish experience of my past life.
30:04After hearing everything, Julian slammed his fist onto the wooden table, causing it to splinter instantly.
30:11Allura.
30:12He pulled me tightly into his embrace, his voice hozzy from fury.
30:15What he did to you in the past life, I'll make him pay a thousand times over.
30:19However, before Julian could launch a full retaliation against the Blood Moon pack,
30:24the completely unhinged Gareth used a black market transaction token he had secretly held onto.
30:34Hiring a few rogue wolves.
30:37That day, in order to prepare a special healing potion for the Shadow Pack,
30:41I insisted on going alone to pick some rare moonlight grass.
30:45Unfortunately, I got out of the guard's sight and was kidnapped by them with a tranquilizer.
30:50When I woke up, I found myself bound in an abandoned slaughterhouse.
30:55My limbs were chained with thick iron links containing silver flakes, burning so badly that I couldn't gather any strength.
31:02Be good, Allura.
31:03Gareth sat in the old iron chair, holding a surgical knife that glinted coldly in the dim light.
31:09His expression was twisted, sick, and depraved.
31:12Why are you with that bastard Julian?
31:16You know how much I hate him!
31:18You actually used your precious healing blood to save him.
31:22Yet you watched me have my legs amputated!
31:28He cursed as he slowly moved closer to me, his eyes gleaming with a sickly light.
31:33But it's okay, I'm not angry at you.
31:35Because I love you so much, I'll punish you accordingly.
31:39This time, I'll lock you in a basement, where no one will find you.
31:45Just like in our past life, you'll only belong to me.
31:49As long as your blood drains dry, I'll grow new legs.
31:53Once I become the strongest alpha again, I'll make you my slave.
31:57Branding you with a mark that will never be erased!
32:01We'll have many pure blood children.
32:04I looked at the knife in his hand, a chill running down my spine, struggling desperately.
32:11Gareth, wake up!
32:14You're insane!
32:16The nerves in your legs are completely dead!
32:19Even if you drain my blood, you won't grow new legs.
32:25Healing magic doesn't work like that!
32:27Let me go! Julian is coming for you and you'll die without a trace!
32:31But he was completely immersed in his delusion, unable to hear any reason.
32:35Allura, it will hurt a little. Bear with it. Soon, we'll be together forever.
32:41Just as he raised the sharp knife, preparing to cut open my carotid artery.
32:46The heavy iron door of the slaughterhouse was kicked open with terrifying force.
32:54Julian, in a half-wolf state, leapt through the air.
32:58With one powerful kick, he sent Gareth in his chair flying, slamming into a brick wall on the other side.
33:08Allura!
33:08Seeing me chained with silver links, the murderless intent in Julia's eyes became almost tangible.
33:15He tore the chains apart with his bare hands, and pulled my weakened body tightly into his arms.
33:24I'm sorry.
33:26I'm late.
33:28Don't be afraid, I'm here now.
33:36I couldn't hold back any longer and broke down, sobbing uncontrollably.
33:43Gareth lay in a pool of his own blood, watching us embrace.
33:46A wild, desperate, and jealous scream tore from his throat.
33:54Somehow, he found the strength.
33:57While Julian had his backs turned comfortingly, Gatha used the last of his strength to hurl the silver poison knife
34:03at Julian's back.
34:04Julian grunt, his sharp alpha instincts kicking in. He swiftly sidestepped, catching the flying blade with ease.
34:16Off balance from his own force, Gathrath desperately fell into the blooded floor, unable to react in time.
34:23Go to hell, and stay with your ambitions, Thorn.
34:29Julian's voice was cold as ice.
34:33Without hesitation, Julian threw the sharp blade back, piercing Gathen's heart with precision.
34:42By the time the blood moon pack arrived, Gareth's body had already cooled.
34:48His wide, terrified eyes remained frozen in a look of permanent fear and regret.
34:54After all of this, Mrs. Vivian, heartbroken, disbanded the blood moon pack.
35:00She handed the management of the territory over to the werewolf council, and exiled herself to the remote Alaskan wilds
35:06to live out her remaining years.
35:11Julian took over the blood moon pack's territory with relentless efficiency.
35:16The shadow pack rose to become the most powerful supernatural force on the east coast.
35:28Months later, on a night when the moon shone brightest, Julian held a bonding ceremony for me.
35:33One that made waves across the entire North American supernatural community.
35:42In our past life, Gareth had looked down on my bloodline, refusing to even give me a simple wedding.
35:48Everyone mocked me as nothing more than a blood bag.
35:57But in this life, I wore a custom-made wedding dress and, surrounded by the entire pack, accepted the eternal
36:04mark of loyalty from the strongest alpha.
36:07I became the lunar that every wolf pack girl dreamed of.
36:12Fireworks lit up the night sky.
36:15Julian gently cupped my face, and placed a deep, loving kiss on my lips.
36:29Life after marriage was peaceful and fulfilling.
36:34In the shadow pack, I was no longer the healing machine who could be sacrificed at any moment to have
36:40my blood drained on the altar.
36:44Julian built a supernatural medical center inside the fortress just for me.
36:53Here, I didn't have to cut open veins anymore.
36:57Instead, I used the ancient knowledge of the Vance family, combined with modern medicine, to teach young werewolf physicians, how
37:05to prepare herbs, and treat wounds.
37:07I earned the genuine admiration of the entire pack.
37:12This respect wasn't because I was an alpha's accessory, but because I was a Laura Vance.
37:24Every afternoon, the terrifying top-tier alpha who made the entire East Coast tremble, would walk through the doors of
37:33the medical center without fail.
37:36He ignored the guards' awe-filled gazes, as he carried the specially prepared nutritious lunch from the kitchen, heading straight
37:43to my office.
37:45Julian, you keep skipping your alpha duties and running off to the medical room.
37:50Marcus is going to pull all his hair out over the piles of paperwork.
37:54I teased, laughing as I took off my lab coat.
37:58Julian raised an eyebrow indifferently, stroding over to pull me into his arms, planting a gentle kiss on my lips.
38:05Let him suffer.
38:07If an alpha can't even make sure his mate eats lunch on time, he shouldn't be the leader of the
38:12shadow pack.
38:12As night fell and a full moon hung over the redwood forest, it marked our favorite time of the day.
38:19With two long and loud howls, we shifted under the moonlight.
38:23A massive direwolf and a small, snow-white wolf ran side by side through the redwood forest.
38:29We played by a moonlit stream, where he always slowed down on purpose to let me catch up.
38:35Then gently knocked me onto a large rock, nuzzling my cheek with his wet nose in affectionate play.
38:42When we shifted back into human form at the edge of a cliff, the sharp night air brushed past us.
38:48Julian walked up behind me, wrapping his large, dark coat around me to shield me from the cold.
38:54Elora, look.
38:55His long fingers pointed to Silver Pine Valley below us, his voice low and solemn.
39:01No betrayal. No conspiracy. This is our territory. Our home.
39:06I took his hand that was wrapped around my waist, gently stroking the moonstone wedding ring on his finger.
39:14Yes, Julian.
39:15I leaned against his chest, gazing at the starry sky in the distance, the happiest smile spreading across my face.
39:22Our future. It's just beginning.
39:26Our future. It's just beginning.
