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.
00:08Trapped in the Blackwood chair, Gareth Thorne 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.
00:28I was the last white wolf of the Vance family, with the rare healer bloodline.
00:34My 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 Thorne, the heir to the Blood Moon
00:47Pack of his paralyzed legs,
00:49I learned that the Blood Moon Pack had publicly declared,
00:54whoever heals Gareth will become the future Luna of the pack.
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,
01:06fell into despair and ultimately died 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 faded mates.
01:24It was you, selfish, cruel she-wolf, who killed her.
01:29You deserve to die.
01:32He stood there coldly, watching, Nastbud Tulea.
01:40Watching 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
02:01eclipse.
02:02This time, the Vance family's white wolf would not waste a drop of blood on this devil.
02:07Get out!
02:08Gareth's pale neck bulged with veins as he pointed toward the door, roaring.
02:13Throw this liar and deceiver out!
02:15What kind of healer are you?
02:17Just a worthless she-wolf who can't even find a mate, daring to speak nonsense here.
02:24When 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.
02:39I 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.
02:48Don't worry.
02:49Soon the whole Silver Pine Valley will know that the heir to the Blood Moon Pack is nothing but dead
02:54weight.
02:55I'll rip your throat out!
02:58Gareth coughed violently.
03:00A black bloodstain at the corner of his mouth.
03:06Just then, a figure rushed into the hall.
03:09Gareth!
03:11Serena cried out, her eyes full of concern as she rushed to him,
03:15tightly embracing the man gasping for breath in the iron chair.
03:26She 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, how can you be so cold-hearted and vicious?! Gareth is the heir to the Blood Moon Pack! You
03:42watched him die and did nothing to help! You're not worthy of the healer bloodline!
03:51I sneered.
03:53I sneered. Since you're so concerned about your alpha, why don't you use that great hedge witch magic of yours
03:58to save him?
04:00Don't come here shouting at me. I'm not buying it.
04:03You 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 Garing.
04:15Once I brew that potion and get him back on his feet, I'll make sure to smash that arrogant face
04:20of yours in front of the whole pack!
04:22An amateur witch who can't even properly cast a healing spell?
04:26She 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? Then let's make a bet. If I heal Gareth, I want you kneeling in front of the
04:53Blood Moon Manor, apologizing and begging for mercy.
05:03A bet? I shook my head without hesitation. I refuse.
05:07Before Serena could show her mocking face, I adjusted the hem of my coat and spoke calmly.
05:12There's no need for a bet. With your amateur tricks, Gareth's only fate in this life is to sit comfortably
05:18in that chair, waiting to die.
05:20You cruel, heartless monster! Get out!
05:23Allura, you'll pay for your arrogance today! You'll regret this!
05:26Now!
05:27As their insults echoed behind me, I didn't stop, wrapping my coat tighter around me.
05:34I strode out of the manor. I gripped the steering wheel, my gaze fixed on the dark forest ahead.
05:41There, in the heart of the land, stood the most mysterious place on the continent, Shadowcrest Fortress.
05:49In my previous life, closely, 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.
06:25When I reached the gates of Shadowcrest Fortress, the atmosphere was suffocating.
06:31The guards 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 Allura Vance. I've come to save your leader.
06:52I 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.
07:06Lower-ranking wolves huddled in the hall, softly sobbing, while several core elders argued loudly around a physician.
07:16Useless! We've had so many doctors try and fail.
07:21What good are you?
07:23Marcus, Julian's lieutenant, roared out on the wall.
07:27Lord Marcus.
07:28The physician shook his head in despair.
07:30The poison contains high-purity silver flakes and dark magic.
07:35It's already infiltrated the leader's cardiovascular system.
07:39Unless the moon goddess herself intervenes...
07:41Then move aside.
07:42My 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.
07:53His complexions pale as paper.
07:55Deep, purple veins of poison spread from his neck to his cheek.
07:58Who are you?
08:00Who allowed you in here?
08:02Marcus snapped, turning toward me.
08:04I'm the one who can keep him alive.
08:06I turned to face him, speaking each word deliberately.
08:10I'm taking responsibility for Julian's life.
08:13If 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.
08:34The deep, purple poison lines began to fade from his chest.
08:39And the powerful Alpha's self-healing mechanism slowly ticked back 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 Thorne's rebirth.
09:14I entered the banquet hall as promised.
09:17As soon as I stepped through the door, I saw Gareth sitting in a blackwood iron chair, with Serena perched
09:23on 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!
09:30Gareth shoved the woman off his lap, his eyes filled with mockery and malice.
09:34What'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.
09:53Allura, there's no such thing as a white wolf healer myth in this world.
09:58The 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.
10:14Serena smugly presented a gift box, inside which was a crystal vial emitting a strange, enchanting fragrance.
10:22With 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.
10:36He 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!
10:59Another exclaimed. Serena strutted up to me, her eyes filled with arrogance.
11:05Did you see that, Allura? This is the power I brought to Gareth.
11:11She covered her mouth and laughed coquettishly, mocking me without mercy.
11:15Look at you, Allura. You spent all that effort using your so-called noble healing blood to treat Julian,
11:21and 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.
11:42Now that you see my healthy body, do you have any last words, you fraud?
11:50Faced with Gareth's arrogant challenge, I didn't panic like they expected.
11:55Instead, 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.
12:05I'm simply offering you some free end-of-life care, as any professional healer would.
12:10At those words, Serena shrieked in fury.
12:14Allura, you're still talking back!
12:15You 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.
12:30I looked at her with pity, my eyes full of derision.
12:35Can't you smell that?
12:36It's not the pure alpha pheromones he's emitting.
12:39It's the rancid stench of decay, like a dead rat rotting in a swamp.
12:44That's the scent of his muscle cells rapidly deteriorating.
12:48Gareth's face contorted with fury.
12:50He 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.
13:24I said, unwavering, staring directly into Gareth's eyes.
13:29A 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.
13:42Go take a look in the mirror.
13:44Look at the veins in your neck.
13:45That's not healthy blood color.
13:47That's the black line of toxins flowing backwards.
13:50What you drank wasn't some miraculous potion.
13:52It'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.
14:03Gareth's breathing grew heavier.
14:05He touched his neck, snaring.
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.
14:22Enjoy 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,
14:32you'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!
14:53Why can't I feel my legs?
14:56Gareth crashed to the floor.
14:58The more he struggled, the stronger the putrid stench became,
15:02with pus seeping from his suit pants, staining the floor with a disgusting foul mark.
15:08Gareth!
15:09Gareth!
15:10This can't be, this can't be happening!
15:12Serena screamed in horror.
15:15She frantically waved her hands, trying to cast a healing spell with her hedge witch magic.
15:21But 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, I stood calmly in the center of the chaos, looking down at Gareth.
15:34I finished the last sip of my champagne, then gently set the glass down and clapped my hands together.
15:42Now that the Blood Moon Packs so-called miracle is over, it's time to show you what real healing looks
15:49like.
15:49With a sharp clink, 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.
16:00Julian? Julian Blackwood?
16:03The entire room erupted in shock.
16:05Julian's muscles were firm and strong, and the oppressive presence of a top-tier alpha made even some of the
16:12elders in the room struggle to breathe.
16:16Julian walked through the crowd without acknowledging anyone.
16:20Heading straight to my side, he placed his hand on my shoulder.
16:25He 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.
16:42I 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.
16:56You gave me a second life.
16:59Not only did you cure the wolf poison in my body, but you also reshaped 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
17:33letter of apology.
17:34I 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 the driveway, two cars suddenly emerged from the shadows and blocked my path.
17:53The 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, his condition a mere shadow of his
18:13former self.
18:14I 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.
18:29Laura...
18:30The 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.
18:46I 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.
18:54Gareth, are you insane?
18:55For 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!
19:08Elora, please! Save me!
19:10His 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!
19:41Grow back your legs?
19:44Gareth, it seems that the wolf poison from the black market not only corroded your body, but also fried your
19:50brain.
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.
19:58You 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.
20:14Drag 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, and
20:28thrown onto the gravel-covered asphalt with a harsh thud.
20:32It was Serena.
20:34Her red dress was torn into ragged strips, and her exposed skin was covered in brutal burns and claw marks.
20:41She lay there, barely alive, only able to gasp for breath, too weak even to scream.
20:47Do you see, Elora?
20:49Gareth pointed at Serena, his face contorted with hatred.
20:54This is all because of this vicious liar!
20:58She 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.
21:19I 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.
21:40I've broken her bones, piece by piece.
21:43Just say the word, and I'll snap her neck myself, myself to avenge you.
21:48Elora, forgive me, please.
21:51If you heal me, we can start over.
21:53Gareth, 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?
22:04I 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.
22:16Shut 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.
22:24You 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 Thorne.
22:33You only loved that high and mighty version of yourself.
22:36Gareth's face turned pale instantly.
22:38I took a step forward, looking down at the man who once stood as the world's strongest alpha.
22:44Each word I spoke was a sentence to his fate.
22:49Listen closely, Thorne.
22:50Even if your blood drains drop by drop, even if your flesh rots in the mud of Silver Pine Valley,
22:56I 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.
23:14No!
23:15Elora!
23:16You can't just leave!
23:17Come back!
23:20The roar of the engine drowned out Gareth's desperate scream.
23:24He 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.
23:34I pressed the accelerator,
23:37leaving his desperate cries far behind.
23:40Half an hour later, my car came to a stop at the edge of a redwood forest criff in Silver
23:45Pine Valley.
23:46Finally, there, Julian Blackwood had been waiting for some time.
23:50He had set up a candlelit dinner, even lighting a bonfire nearby to war off the chill.
23:57Hearing the car, he turned, his deep gray wolf eyes soft and full of warmth.
24:03But 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.
24:42My tightly wound nerves finally began to relax.
24:45I looked up at him and gave a small smile.
24:48He's just garbage, already consumed by the abyss.
24:53Every second he lives is torture,
24:55and for him, death would be a relief.
24:58Julian looked down at me,
25:00his 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.
25:09In the months that followed,
25:11Julian and I grew even closer.
25:13With the blood moon pack no longer interfering,
25:16the shadow pack under Julian's leadership
25:18rapidly expanded and became the undisputed ruler of the East Coast.
25:22And he, the iron-fisted leader who struck fear into the supernatural world,
25:27always put aside his sharp edge in front of me,
25:30showing 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,
25:55completely enveloped me.
25:57Elora.
25:58His voice was deep and smooth,
26:00tinged with a barely noticeable hint of nervousness.
26:03I was once a lone wolf,
26:05fighting in the darkness,
26:06thinking I would only ever be surrounded by blood and power.
26:09You took my life from the hands of death.
26:12And you.
26:13You gave this cold body a soul again.
26:18He gently turned me to face him,
26:21kneeling on one knee.
26:22From his coat pocket,
26:24he pulled out a moonstone antique ring.
26:26I don't need fangs and claws to conquer you.
26:28I offer you all my loyalty and my life.
26:31Julian looked at me with unwavering sincerity,
26:33his tone as solemn as a vow.
26:36Be my mate.
26:36Be the luna of the Shadow Pack.
26:38Let me spend my life protecting you.
26:40Looking into the depth of his affection,
26:43warmth spread through my chest.
26:44The pain and betrayal of my past life were finally healed in this moment.
26:49I was moved to tears,
26:52just opening my mouth to say,
26:54I do.
26:56She doesn't want to!
27:00A scream rang out from the darkness.
27:04Several low-ranking wolves,
27:05pushing 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.
27:14Elora!
27:16You can't say yes to him!
27:17Just as the moonstone ring's soft glow flickered,
27:21Gareth's pupils suddenly dilated.
27:23I remember now!
27:24This ring!
27:25I remember everything!
27:27In our past life,
27:28we were a pair!
27:29It's my fault.
27:30I was blinded by that bitch Serena.
27:33I know now,
27:33you are my true fated mate.
27:35Please,
27:36come back to me!
27:37I stared at him in disbelief.
27:39I couldn't believe it.
27:41When he touched the moonstone ring,
27:43blessed by the moon goddess,
27:45Gareth 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,
27:55but she also forced him to relive every moment
27:58of 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 eyes cold as steel.
28:10Gareth,
28:11are you completely out of your mind?
28:12You dare stir trouble in my territory?
28:14Today,
28:15I'll snap your neck for good.
28:16Gareth ignored everything,
28:18his eyes filled with a sickly,
28:20greedy gaze fixed on me.
28:22Allura,
28:23I know you've been reborn too.
28:25There's no way you would just stand by
28:27and watch me die in this life if you didn't.
28:29You hate me,
28:30because in the last life,
28:32I drained your blood.
28:34It's all my fault!
28:37But I regret it.
28:38I truly regret it.
28:40I swear I fell in love with you long ago.
28:43Give me another chance, please.
28:45If you give me your blood and heal my legs,
28:47I'll take everything back.
28:49We can start over!
28:51I stepped out from behind Julian,
28:53looking at him with disgust.
28:55Gareth Thorne,
28:56what are you even dreaming about?
28:57This pitiful,
28:58abandoned state you're in right now?
29:00Doesn't it match exactly
29:01what you desperately chased in our past life?
29:02I've only made sure
29:03you're getting the end you deserve,
29:05and stop using the word love
29:06to nauseate me.
29:08I squeezed Julian's hand
29:09and turned to leave without hesitation.
29:19Gareth's frantic hands
29:21pushed the heavy metal wheels of the chair,
29:23but his weak arms
29:24couldn't control the direction.
29:26The wheels got stuck
29:27in the cracks of the stone,
29:28and the chair,
29:30along with him,
29:31toppled heavily onto the cold ground.
29:33He struggled in the snow,
29:35desperately reaching his hand out toward me.
29:40Please.
29:42Give me your blood.
29:45Give me another chance.
29:48I didn't even glance back,
29:49quickening my pace
29:50as I walked back
29:51to the warmth of the inner chambers.
29:54Back at Shadowhest Fortress,
29:57I told Julian everything
29:58about the hellish experience
29:59of my past life.
30:01After hearing everything,
30:02Julian slammed his fist
30:03onto the wooden table,
30:05causing it to splinter instantly.
30:08Allura.
30:08He pulled me tightly into his embrace,
30:10his voice hozzy from fury.
30:12What he did to you in the past life,
30:14I'll make him pay a thousand times over.
30:16However,
30:17before Julian could launch
30:18a full retaliation
30:20against the Blood Moon Pack,
30:22the completely unhinged Gareth
30:24used a black market transaction token
30:27he had secretly held onto,
30:31Hiring a few rogue wolves.
30:34That day,
30:35in order to prepare a special healing potion
30:37for the Shadow Pack,
30:38I insisted on going alone
30:39to pick some rare moonlight grass.
30:42Unfortunately,
30:42I got out of the guard's sight
30:44and was kidnapped by them
30:45with a tranquilizer.
30:46When I woke up,
30:48I found myself bound
30:49in an abandoned slaughterhouse.
30:51My limbs were chained
30:53with thick iron links
30:54containing silver flakes,
30:56burning so badly
30:57that I couldn't gather any strength.
30:59Be good, Allura.
31:01Gareth sat in the old iron chair,
31:02holding a surgical knife
31:03that glinted coldly
31:04in the dim light.
31:05His expression was twisted,
31:07sick,
31:08and depraved.
31:09Why are you with that bastard Julian?
31:13You know how much I hate him!
31:15You actually used
31:16your precious healing blood
31:17to save him!
31:19Yet you watched me
31:21have my legs amputated!
31:25He cursed as he slowly
31:27moved closer to me,
31:28his eyes gleaming
31:29with a sickly light.
31:30But it's okay.
31:30I'm not angry at you
31:32because I love you so much.
31:34I'll punish you accordingly.
31:36This time,
31:37I'll lock you in a basement
31:39where no one will find you.
31:41Just like in our past life,
31:43you'll only belong to me.
31:46As long as your blood drains dry,
31:48I'll grow new legs.
31:49Once I become the strongest alpha again,
31:52I'll make you my slave,
31:54branding you with a mark
31:55that will never be erased!
31:58We'll have many pure blood children.
32:00I looked at the knife in his hand,
32:03a chill running down my spine,
32:06struggling desperately.
32:08Gareth, wake up!
32:11You're insane!
32:13The nerves in your legs
32:14are completely dead!
32:16Even if you drain my blood,
32:17you won't grow new legs.
32:21Healing magic doesn't work like that!
32:24Let me go!
32:25Julian is coming for you
32:26and you'll die without a trace!
32:28But he was completely immersed
32:29in his delusion,
32:30unable to hear any reason.
32:32Allura,
32:33it will hurt a little.
32:34Bear with it.
32:35Soon,
32:36we'll be together forever.
32:38Just as he raised the sharp knife,
32:40preparing to cut open
32:41my carotid artery,
32:43the heavy iron door
32:45of the slaughterhouse
32:45was kicked open
32:46with terrifying force.
32:51Julian,
32:52in a half-wolf state,
32:53leapt through the air
32:54with one powerful kick,
32:56he sent Gareth
32:57in his chair flying,
32:58slamming into a brick wall
33:00on the other side.
33:04Allura!
33:06Seeing me chained
33:07with silver links,
33:08the murderless intent
33:09in Julia's eyes
33:10became almost tangible.
33:11He tore the chains apart
33:13with his bare hands
33:14and pulled my weakened body
33:16tightly into his arms.
33:21I'm sorry.
33:23I'm late.
33:25Don't be afraid.
33:26I'm here now.
33:33I couldn't hold back
33:34any longer
33:35and broke down,
33:36sobbing uncontrollably.
33:40Gareth lay in a pool
33:41of his own blood,
33:42watching us embrace.
33:44A wild,
33:45desperate,
33:45and jealous scream
33:47tore from his throat.
33:50Somehow,
33:52he found the strength.
33:53While Julian
33:54had his backs turned
33:55comfortingly,
33:57Gatha used the last
33:58of his strength
33:58to hurl the silver poison knife
34:00at Julian's back.
34:02Julian grunt,
34:03his sharp alpha instincts
34:04kicking in.
34:05He swiftly sidestepped,
34:07catching the flying blade
34:08with ease.
34:12Off balance
34:13from his own force,
34:14Gathrath desperately fell
34:17into the blooded floor,
34:18unable to react in time.
34:20Go to hell
34:21and stay with your ambitions,
34:23Thorn.
34:25Julian's voice
34:26was cold as ice.
34:29Without hesitation,
34:31Julian threw
34:32the sharp blade back,
34:34piercing Gathen's heart
34:35with precision.
34:39By the time
34:40the blood moon pack arrived,
34:42Gareth's body
34:43had already cooled.
34:44His wide,
34:46terrified eyes
34:47remained frozen
34:48in a look of
34:49permanent fear
34:50and regret.
34:51After all of this,
34:52Mrs. Vivian,
34:53heartbroken,
34:55disbanded the blood moon pack.
34:56She handed the management
34:57of the territory
34:58over to the werewolf council
35:00and exiled herself
35:01to the remote Alaskan wilds
35:03to live out
35:03her remaining years.
35:08Julian took over
35:09the blood moon pack's territory
35:11with relentless efficiency.
35:13the shadow pack rose
35:14to become the most powerful
35:16supernatural force
35:17on the east coast.
35:24Months later,
35:25on a night
35:26when the moon shone brightest,
35:28Julian held
35:29a bonding ceremony for me,
35:31one that made waves
35:32across the entire
35:33North American
35:34supernatural community.
35:38in our past life,
35:40Gareth had looked down
35:41on my bloodline,
35:42refusing to even give me
35:44a simple wedding.
35:45Everyone mocked me
35:46as nothing more
35:47than a blood bag.
35:53But in this life,
35:55I wore a custom-made wedding dress
35:57and,
35:57surrounded by the entire pack,
36:00accepted the eternal mark
36:01of loyalty
36:02from the strongest alpha.
36:04I became the Luna
36:05that every wolf pack girl dreamed of.
36:09Fireworks lit up the night sky.
36:11Julian gently cupped my face
36:13and placed a deep,
36:15loving kiss on my lips.
36:26Life after marriage
36:27was peaceful
36:28and fulfilling.
36:30In the shadow pack,
36:32I was no longer
36:33the healing machine
36:34who could be sacrificed
36:35at any moment
36:36to have my blood
36:37drained on the altar.
36:41Julian built
36:42a supernatural medical center
36:43inside the fortress
36:45just for me.
36:50Here,
36:51I didn't have to cut
36:52open veins anymore.
36:53Instead,
36:54I used the ancient knowledge
36:55of the Vance family,
36:57combined with modern medicine.
36:59to teach young werewolf physicians
37:01how to prepare herbs
37:03and treat wounds.
37:05I earned the genuine admiration
37:06of the entire pack.
37:08This respect wasn't
37:10because I was an Alpha's accessory,
37:12but because I was a Laura Vance.
37:21Every afternoon,
37:22the terrifying top-tier Alpha
37:24who made the entire East Coast tremble
37:28would walk through the doors
37:29of the medical center
37:30without fail.
37:33He ignored the guard's
37:34awe-filled gazes
37:35as he carried
37:36the specially prepared
37:37nutritious lunch
37:38from the kitchen
37:39heading straight
37:40to my office.
37:41Julian,
37:42you keep skipping
37:43your Alpha duties
37:44and running off
37:45to the medical room.
37:46Marcus is going to pull
37:48all his hair out
37:48over the piles of paperwork.
37:50I teased,
37:52laughing as I took off
37:53my lab coat.
37:55Julian raised an eyebrow
37:56indifferently,
37:57stroding over
37:58to pull me into his arms,
37:59planting a gentle kiss
38:00on my lips.
38:02Let him suffer.
38:03If an Alpha
38:04can't even make sure
38:05his mate eats lunch
38:06on time,
38:07he shouldn't be the leader
38:08of the shadow pack.
38:09As night fell
38:10and a full moon
38:11hung over the redwood forest,
38:13it marked our favorite
38:14time of the day.
38:15With two long
38:16and loud howls,
38:18we shifted
38:18under the moonlight.
38:20A massive dire wolf
38:21and a small
38:22snow-white wolf
38:23ran side by side
38:24through the redwood forest.
38:26We played
38:27by a moonlit stream,
38:28where he always
38:29slowed down on purpose
38:30to let me catch up,
38:32then gently knocked me
38:33onto a large rock,
38:34nuzzling my cheek
38:35with his wet nose
38:36in affectionate play.
38:38When we shifted
38:39back into human form
38:41at the edge of a cliff,
38:42the sharp night air
38:43brushed past us.
38:45Julian walked up
38:46behind me,
38:46wrapping his large,
38:48dark coat around me
38:49to shield me
38:49from the cold.
38:50Allura, look.
38:52His long fingers
38:53pointed to
38:54Silver Pine Valley
38:55below us,
38:56his voice low
38:57and solemn.
38:58No betrayal,
38:59no conspiracy.
39:00This is our territory,
39:02our home.
39:03I took his hand
39:04that was wrapped
39:05around my waist,
39:06gently stroking
39:07the moonstone wedding ring
39:09on his finger.
39:10Yes, Julian.
39:12I leaned against his chest,
39:14gazing at the starry sky
39:15in the distance,
39:16the happiest smile
39:17spreading across my face.
39:20Our future,
39:21it's just beginning.
39:23It's just beginning.
39:24icher and a half.
39:25It's just beginning.
39:25It's just beginning.
39:26It's just beginning.
39:26It's you.
39:26It's beginning.
