00:00When the future Alpha was hurt and alone, I saved his life.
00:04To repay me, he used his Alpha command.
00:08He took his promised mate and gave her to another wolf.
00:12After that, he kept me close.
00:14He spoiled me.
00:15He even turned on his own grandmother for me.
00:17I thought that meant something, but right before I died, he went quiet for a long time.
00:23I owed you my life.
00:24Now the debt is finally paid.
00:26If I get a next life, I'd rather you let me bleed out.
00:29Then Ava would still be my mate.
00:31So that was it.
00:31He regretted keeping me the whole time.
00:34I died with that hate in my chest.
00:37Then I opened my eyes.
00:39I was back.
00:40The day Reed first brought me to the pack.
00:43This time, he asked what reward I wanted.
00:46A rogue like me won't ask for much.
00:48Just set me free.
00:50Let me go find my own mate.
00:53A rogue is a rogue.
00:55All she wants is a man and gold.
00:57Those cold, dark eyes actually looked surprised.
01:00For once.
01:02Sloan, don't be afraid.
01:04You saved the heir's life.
01:06Whatever you want, just name it.
01:10For a second, my head spun.
01:12Last life, I knelt in this exact hall.
01:14The Luna asked me the exact same question.
01:17Back then, I didn't know Reed had a chosen mate.
01:21Last life, I knelt right here.
01:23Young and stupid.
01:25Out in the wild, I already gave you my heart.
01:29I want to be your mate.
01:31Nothing else.
01:32That one foolish sentence ruined half my life.
01:34This time, I just kept my head down.
01:37The heir is strong.
01:38He'll always land on his feet.
01:39I really don't need anything.
01:41Fine.
01:41A reward.
01:42And a place among our pack guests.
01:46The reward is easy.
01:48But finding you a mate?
01:50That will have to wait.
01:52It was just a kind excuse.
01:54I knew that.
01:57Wait.
01:59My whole body locked up.
02:01Is a simple mate match really all you're after?
02:03Or are you jeans for something that was never yours?
02:05The blood drained right out of my face.
02:07So he came back too.
02:09He remembered everything.
02:10And he still thought I'd cling to him like before.
02:14I have a brother.
02:15Kai.
02:17He's wild, but he's your age.
02:20You two will be mated next month.
02:23Every word landed cold and final.
02:25Last life, Reed forced a match too.
02:28Back then, his own promised mate paid the price.
02:30This time, it was my turn to pay.
02:32I stayed quiet.
02:33I knew I couldn't change it.
02:36I accept the match.
02:41I know what you and the air shared out in the wild.
02:44I once hoped to make you his chosen mate someday.
02:46But the order is given now.
02:48I'm sorry.
02:48His chosen mate.
02:50I'm a rogue.
02:50No pack.
02:51No bloodline.
02:52To everyone here, that would have been a huge honor.
02:54That's the same trap I fell into last life.
02:57Reed named me his mate.
02:58Then he made me Luna.
02:59And his real promised mate, Ava Voss.
03:01She couldn't take the shame of it.
03:04I, Ava Voss, reject you Reed as my mate.
03:08I read the wrong wolf.
03:10I gave my heart to a lie.
03:14Years later, drunk, he held me and said her name instead.
03:18Ava, you didn't read me wrong.
03:19It was me.
03:20I failed you.
03:21I'm sorry.
03:23That's the night it finally hit me.
03:25He loved her the entire time.
03:27He only buried it because he owed me a debt.
03:29Now I'm back.
03:30So I just smiled at the Luna.
03:32I know my place.
03:33Kai is more than enough for me.
03:37My heart jumped into my throat.
03:39How long had he been standing there?
03:44Mother.
03:45I brought Ava to greet you.
03:49This life.
03:50She never went through the shame.
03:52Like we had never met at all.
03:54While I waited to be mated, I kept hearing about Kai.
03:58They said he was striking.
04:00Better looking than Reed, even.
04:02They said he was wild.
04:03The best hunter in the whole pack.
04:06And then someone told me something else.
04:08He was still un-mated, holding out for a girl he couldn't forget.
04:11I went quiet for a long while after that.
04:14Last life, Reed mated me while loving someone else.
04:17I lived inside that cold marriage for years.
04:20I had enough.
04:21This life, I won't make the same mistake.
04:24I was going to ask Reed to call the whole thing off.
04:30What gives you the right to match me off?
04:32You know I have someone.
04:34I won't mate a stranger.
04:35My hand froze on the door.
04:37That had to be Kai.
04:38My future mate?
04:39You chased that girl three years.
04:41You don't know her name?
04:42You barely saw her face.
04:44Will you stay alone forever?
04:46She saved my life.
04:48Mating her with you clears the pack's debt.
04:49I almost laughed out loud at that.
04:52This life, I never once asked Reed to keep me.
04:56But he forced the match.
04:58He made his own brother pay his debt.
05:00And just like I expected, the next moment...
05:03I won't mate her!
05:05Not now!
05:05Not ever!
05:06Push me!
05:07And I'm gone to the border tonight!
05:09For good!
05:09I didn't dare look at my future mate.
05:12Not yet.
05:13Lucky for me, he was too angry to even notice me.
05:16What?
05:17Heard he wants out of the match?
05:20So you ran over to keep him?
05:22Still climbing, are you?
05:24His words were ugly.
05:25But after hearing them talk, I already knew.
05:28He would never call this match off.
05:30Not in a hundred years.
05:32Still, this time I wanted to fight back.
05:34Just once.
05:35You've got it all wrong, Reed.
05:38I never wanted to be your mate.
05:40I came to end the match, too.
05:42You don't want him.
05:44So you're still after the Lunar title?
05:46I won't take a mate who can't love me.
05:48I won't rot beside a wolf who never wanted me.
05:51Something I said set him off.
05:54And if I told you I want you to rot in it?
05:56I stared at him, stunned.
05:58I couldn't see his face.
06:00But I could hear the chill in it.
06:03Ava shut herself away because of you.
06:05You owe her every tear.
06:07You'll pay it all back.
06:08So that was his plan.
06:10Every bit of pain Aya suffered, he'd make me suffer, too.
06:17Reed looked tired of even seeing me.
06:19The match stands.
06:20Drop it.
06:21Stop reaching above your station.
06:26Sloane, Kai is good.
06:28He's not as bad as the air says.
06:31He won't waste your life.
06:32He just already loves someone.
06:35I thought about that girl Kai refused to give up.
06:38I got curious.
06:40So I let her keep talking.
06:42Three years back, Kai scouted up at Cedar Hollow.
06:45Rival wolves ambushed him.
06:47He fell off a ridge.
06:48He vanished.
06:50A girl found him and saved him.
06:52She wouldn't give her name.
06:54She healed his eyes.
06:55And then she just left.
06:57He went looking for her so many times.
06:59Never found her.
07:00Such a shame.
07:01The two of them should have been mates.
07:03She remembered I'm the one mating Kai now.
07:05I just stood there, frozen in place.
07:08Three years ago, I was a healer near Cedar Hollow.
07:12Under a ridge, I found a badly hurt wolf.
07:15He'd struck his head in the fall.
07:17He woke up blind.
07:19I cleaned his wounds and changed his torn clothes.
07:28What's your name?
07:29When I get home, I'll make this right.
07:32I swear it.
07:34I'm a healer.
07:35I don't save wolves for a reward.
07:39Cedar Hollow was a wreck then.
07:42Rival packs had raided it.
07:45So that blind wolf I saved, that was Kai?
07:50My guard tells me you're the girl my brother matched me with.
07:55I went stiff all over.
08:00Lift your head.
08:01Let me see your face.
08:03It felt like forever.
08:04Maybe it was only a breath.
08:11Don't.
08:12Keep your head down.
08:14I froze where I stood.
08:15Reed had shown up.
08:16I had no idea why.
08:18You make every girl you meet show you her face.
08:21Still chasing your dream girl?
08:23Aren't you tired of it?
08:24And I promise you this.
08:26She is not the one.
08:28Why so sure?
08:28Do you know her well or something?
08:30Of course he knew me.
08:31He knew me better than anyone.
08:36Two lifetimes.
08:38Two times I saved his life.
08:40Once as his mate.
08:41At our best, he even tracked my moon cycle.
08:44He'd have warm tea ready and coax me to drink it.
08:46But he can't say a word of that now.
08:48So all he had left was a cold lie.
08:51When she saved me, she never mentioned any of this.
08:54One girl, traveling that far alone?
08:56You're imagining it.
08:58He said it like it was hard fact.
09:04You two are matched, so you'll follow Pact tradition.
09:08Mates stay apart before the bond.
09:12It's how we earn the moon goddess's blessing.
09:15Understood?
09:23Why didn't you refuse him?
09:24Then I understood what he meant.
09:26He meant, why didn't I refuse to show my face?
09:32He's the heir's brother.
09:34A rogue can't refuse him.
09:37And you're making him my mate.
09:39He'll see my face anyway.
09:42Something I said set him off all over again.
09:44What?
09:45One look and you're already falling for Kai?
09:48Don't say I didn't warn you.
09:49He'll never want you.
09:51He'd said that to me so many times now.
09:53He really must hate me down to the bone.
10:02A month before the mating,
10:03I went to the moon goddess shrine.
10:06I wanted her blessing for a clean, fresh start.
10:16Kai's gone!
10:17He ran off!
10:19Kai's a straight shooter.
10:21He doesn't back down.
10:23He said it in that hall.
10:25Push him,
10:26and he runs.
10:27So I saw this coming a mile away.
10:29Still,
10:30I let her give me the details.
10:31He left the heir a note.
10:33Won't mate a wolf he doesn't love.
10:35Said if it's a debt,
10:36the heir should mate her himself.
10:38Reed was absolutely furious.
10:40I laughed quietly to myself at that.
10:56Don't make a sound.
10:57If anyone asks,
10:59you never saw me.
11:00That voice.
11:01It was so familiar.
11:09It's you.
11:11I finally found you.
11:12I blinked at him.
11:13So the blind wolf I saved back then
11:15was Kai after all.
11:18You remember me?
11:20The blind one.
11:21Cedar Hillo,
11:22three years ago.
11:23You even changed my clothes.
11:25I searched for you for years.
11:26I never knew your name.
11:28I can't believe it's really you.
11:30I almost laughed.
11:32Oh,
11:32I'm Kai.
11:33You can just call me Kai.
11:35The Omega told me he was the quiet type.
11:40Yeah,
11:41no.
11:42He looked ready to spill
11:43three years of words at once.
11:46Then guards came searching for him outside.
11:49I'd go handle them myself.
11:56This time,
11:58will you tell me your name?
11:59I don't want to lose you for years again.
12:02I didn't tell Kai my name.
12:04Not yet.
12:05But I promised him we'd meet again soon.
12:10Okay.
12:11I believe you.
12:15Everyone already knew Kai ran to dodge the match.
12:18They didn't even question it.
12:20They left.
12:22Back home,
12:23I waited a few days.
12:24Then the news came in.
12:26I'd helped Kai slip the guards,
12:28but he was alone out there.
12:30He didn't get far.
12:32Reed's wolves dragged him back.
12:34Now he's at the pack house,
12:35getting torn into.
12:38I stood up and told an Omega to ready a horse.
12:42They're both furious right now.
12:44Why would you go?
12:48To keep a promise,
12:50of course.
12:53Outside the den,
12:55I heard a cup shatter.
13:02But Kai wasn't backing down an inch.
13:04I found her.
13:05The girl who saved me.
13:06I finally found her.
13:07I hunted for her for years.
13:09I beg you.
13:10Let us be.
13:11Reed looked pushed right past his limit.
13:13He rubbed his temple.
13:15Done with all of it.
13:17Air.
13:17The rogue girl Sloane is here.
13:19She's asking to see you.
13:21Fine.
13:22You won't mate her?
13:23Then tell her yourself.
13:26Sloane's here.
13:27Say it to her face.
13:29Then the meaning sank in.
13:33Sloane, I already have someone.
13:35So this match...
13:36Kai,
13:37I didn't lie to you.
13:39We met again.
13:40He froze solid where he stood.
13:42It was long enough for Reed to sense something.
13:45Reed cut in,
13:46like he sensed it.
13:47Kai, what are you doing?
13:49You want it out of this.
13:52I'm not backing out.
13:54This match is perfect.
13:55I want her.
13:56I want to mate her.
14:01A breath ago,
14:02you'd take no one but your dream girl.
14:05One look at Slane,
14:06and you flipped.
14:07Because he just worked out the truth.
14:09The girl who saved Kai.
14:11The one who chased for three years.
14:13It might be me.
14:14Word spread fast.
14:16Kai met me once
14:17and wanted to mate me.
14:18The pack didn't know the real story.
14:20They figured I just had a pretty face.
14:22They figured I'd charmed Kai out of his senses.
14:27The crowd was tight.
14:30Someone spilled a drink on my dress.
14:34So I followed an Omega out to change.
14:41You never told me you saved Kai's life.
14:45Reed.
14:46He was already waiting in the room,
14:48face blank.
14:50I didn't know it was Kai.
14:52Healers save wolves.
14:53That's all it was.
14:55Right.
14:56First Kai,
14:57then me.
14:58Both of us heirs.
15:00And you've got no plan.
15:03Who would ever believe that?
15:07Why hide last life?
15:09What part of you haven't I seen?
15:12Watch your mouth, Reed.
15:14Whoa, you've been a while.
15:16I heard both of you.
15:17Are you alright?
15:18It was Ava's voice.
15:19And Reed actually cares about her.
15:22He proved that just now.
15:28The air came this way and vanished.
15:30Have you seen him?
15:34No, maybe he went somewhere else.
15:37After the feast,
15:38I kept replaying that standoff with Reed.
15:41Looking back,
15:41it scared me more than a little.
15:43Good thing the mating was close now.
15:45I wouldn't have to set foot in that pack house again.
15:47I just had to wait at home for the day.
15:49Meanwhile,
15:50Kai kept finding ways to come see me.
16:01He carved that himself.
16:03Took him days, they say.
16:04A new one every week.
16:06Nobody treats us like that.
16:07He even hunted my favorite game
16:09and brought it to me himself.
16:10No chance.
16:11Only the best for my future mate.
16:15Then he noticed I'd barely been eating.
16:18So he rode all night out to Cedar Hollow.
16:36Sloan, come on.
16:37They'll get cold if you wait.
16:39Last life,
16:41I lived locked in that pack house forever.
16:43Even reborn,
16:44I never once made it home.
16:48I never thought I'd taste these again.
16:51After two lifetimes,
16:53it felt like a whole world ago.
17:01He thought he'd upset me somehow.
17:06Sloan, don't cry.
17:08Tell me what's wrong.
17:09I'll fix it.
17:13You did nothing wrong.
17:16Nothing at all.
17:18I wasn't sad.
17:19It was the opposite.
17:20I was just so happy I couldn't hold it in.
17:23Happy that this life wouldn't be wasted away.
17:25Happy to finally have a mate who actually wanted me.
17:29Kai is the Alpha's son.
17:30Before we mate,
17:31we had to meet the elders.
17:34Last life,
17:35Reed favored me
17:36and it caused real trouble.
17:38Wolves whispered that a rogue
17:39didn't deserve to be Luna.
17:41At first,
17:43Reed didn't care what any of them said.
17:45He punished elders for me.
17:47He split with his grandmother over me.
17:49But over time,
17:50things slowly changed.
17:51A sickness swept through the pack's pups.
17:54As Luna,
17:55I was supposed to keep the whole pack safe.
17:57The sickness only spread.
17:59Pups kept dying.
18:00So they blamed me.
18:01The outsider Luna.
18:03The rogue.
18:09This time,
18:10Reed didn't silence the gossip for me.
18:13Maybe I really did take the wrong woman
18:15as my Luna.
18:17After that,
18:18his grandmother
18:18stripped my Luna duties away.
18:20I never even knew what I'd done wrong.
18:23I went to ask Reed.
18:25For the first time,
18:26he refused me.
18:29Grandmother is teaching you your place.
18:31Just take it.
18:32The elder mother hated me to begin with.
18:35Once Reed stopped shielding me,
18:37she shut me out completely.
18:40For months,
18:42the whole pack treated me like I was invisible.
18:44In the end,
18:45just facing her made me shake.
18:57Grandmother is harsh with everyone.
18:59But don't you worry.
19:01When we greet her,
19:02she'll only yell at me,
19:03not you.
19:05I had no idea
19:06what he was planning.
19:16Grandmother,
19:17I'm getting mated soon.
19:20It breaks my heart,
19:21you all alone in this big den.
19:27So I brought you company.
19:29Loyal guards,
19:30you like them?
19:32Not enough?
19:34I can bring the whole kennel over.
19:35I have no idea
19:36where he'd round up so many.
19:42Get these filthy beasts out of my den!
19:45Now!
19:48I just stood there,
19:49stunned.
19:51I never dreamed Kai would actually do that,
19:54flooding the elder mother's den with hounds.
19:57Only he would dare.
19:59She cut Kai's hunting rights for a year
20:01and barred him.
20:04All that old rage from last life
20:06had been sitting in my chest.
20:08Somehow.
20:09Right now,
20:10it finally let go.
20:12An alpha's son doesn't mate like a common wolf.
20:14There was a lot I didn't have to handle on my own.
20:17But Kai begged me for a handmade mating token.
20:20A wolf who wears his mate's token
20:22walks proud.
20:28Word came from the pack house today.
20:30Bad news.
20:31The air must bond first.
20:32That's old pack law.
20:34No sun bonds before the air takes his lunar.
20:37So we wait.
20:38Something felt wrong about it right away.
20:41Well,
20:41if that's the law,
20:42there's nothing we can do.
20:43I'm going to ask my brother myself.
20:47I waited the whole day,
20:48sick with worry.
20:50I was scared Kai and Rean
20:51would come to blows.
20:54He wouldn't see me.
20:55I waited outside a long time.
20:58Said I wasn't leaving without a reason.
21:01Finally,
21:02he claimed he's unwell.
21:03So he delayed it.
21:06Last life,
21:07Reed had great health.
21:08He was almost never sick.
21:10How is he suddenly unwell now
21:12at the worst time?
21:13I asked every pack healer.
21:15They say he's perfectly fine.
21:20And wolves say he's gone cold
21:22towards his bride.
21:25He stares at some painting alone,
21:27late at night.
21:30He's changed his mind.
21:33He doesn't want to mate Ava anymore.
21:35And he's wrecking our timing too.
21:37What a heartless wolf!
21:43I was scared someone would overhear him.
21:47I'm not angry about anything else, really.
21:51I just want to mate you.
21:53One day sooner.
21:54The mating got pushed back again and again.
21:57Even wolves out of the loop started to guess.
21:59Something was wrong with the heir's mating.
22:02I couldn't name what I felt looking at her.
22:05This life,
22:06I never once got tangled up with Reed.
22:10And still,
22:11she didn't get what she wanted.
22:13He and Reed had been on bad terms since that day.
22:16Good health to you, brother.
22:18Mate soon, will you?
22:20Don't waste Ava's heart and all her years of waiting.
22:23My match can't wait around that long.
22:25Like he missed the dig completely.
22:28I have no rank.
22:29By right,
22:30I shouldn't sit beside Kai at all.
22:33This match turned out wonderfully, Reed.
22:36Such a wild boy.
22:38Now he doles on his mate.
22:49They're not mated yet.
22:52So how can she be called his mate?
22:56The Lunar must have been thinking of our delayed match.
23:00The heir's unwell.
23:01Let Kai mate first instead.
23:03A happy event might help the heir recover.
23:06I feel suddenly terribly unwell.
23:10And I knew it.
23:11This match wouldn't be settled today either.
23:14Sloane,
23:15she saved me once.
23:17She knows my condition.
23:19Let her be the one to treat me.
23:22No!
23:23She trained as a healer, sure.
23:25But the heir is precious.
23:27If it goes wrong,
23:28she'll be blamed.
23:29The Luna thought the same thing.
23:32But Reed wouldn't budge.
23:34He still refused to leave.
23:37Go on.
23:38I'll take the responsibility myself.
23:42He stubbornly insisted.
23:44It had to be me.
23:45Only me.
23:47No matter how the treatment went,
23:49my life would be spared.
23:53The heir is fine.
23:55Just overexcited.
23:56He needs rest.
23:58It was the same thing the healers already said.
24:01You're faking it.
24:02Why?
24:03Yes.
24:04I'm faking.
24:05And not only this time.
24:07The delays were fake too.
24:09All to stop you mating Kai.
24:13But, Sloane,
24:15do you really not know why?
24:17It was me.
24:18Back in the wild.
24:20Reed painted it himself.
24:21I was wrong before.
24:23I thought I could forget you.
24:25I thought staying away would be enough.
24:28Then I watched Kai look at you at that feast.
24:30You looked happy.
24:31And it drove me out of my mind.
24:34I'd braced for this.
24:35Still,
24:36my chest clenched up hard.
24:38Let the whole pack damn me.
24:40I am not losing you twice.
24:42I tried to remind him of the truth.
24:44I already have a match.
24:46You ordered it yourself.
24:47If nothing had gone wrong,
24:48I'd be mated to Kai by now.
24:50So what if you would?
24:56I gave the order,
24:57so I can take it right back.
25:01Kai met you once and wants to mate you.
25:04How real can that be?
25:05We had two whole lifetimes.
25:07And Ava.
25:08She's your real promised mate.
25:10I wronged her.
25:12But maybe she and I were never fated.
25:14I'll arrange a good match for her.
25:16She'll be settled.
25:17No,
25:18that's a lie.
25:18And he knows it.
25:20At Reed knows Ava better than I ever could.
25:22She's too proud to take this shame
25:24and mate another wolf.
25:25She'd sooner die than be passed along like that.
25:28I knew I couldn't stay.
25:38From now on,
25:39you stay in the east wing.
25:40Don't run.
25:42You've seen the guards.
25:44There's no way out.
25:45He locked me in the east wing of the pack house.
25:47He told the pack I was treating his illness.
25:49I was terrified.
25:50I didn't dare sleep that night.
26:04How could one girl ever hurt me?
26:13I won't hurt you.
26:15But try anything and I'd rather die.
26:18Why?
26:20Why him?
26:22What is so special about my brother?
26:26You'd throw away your life to stay loyal to him?
26:28You've forgotten we were made for a whole lifetime!
26:33This is...
26:38Sloane.
26:40Last life, was I really so cruel to you?
26:43You were Luna above everyone.
26:46The Alpha adored you.
26:48Would you really throw all of that away?
26:50No.
26:51Cruel.
26:52Those were things you decided I should want.
26:54You forced them on me.
26:55You never once loved me.
26:57You're just bitter someone took what you called yours.
27:00Did At-Reed ever love me at all?
27:02Maybe a little.
27:03But that little scrap of feeling,
27:04it couldn't beat his pride.
27:05It couldn't beat his guilt over Ava.
27:07In the end, that scrap only ever cut me deeper.
27:12So whatever Kai gives you is what you really want?
27:15Then let's see if he'll give up everything for you.
27:22Kai didn't see me come home for one night.
27:25Next day, he'd come looking.
27:27I was certain of it.
27:28Just listen.
27:29Hear how he truly feels about you.
27:41Where's Sloane?
27:42Where are you hiding her?
27:44Kai, I've thought it over.
27:46She's a rogue, not pack-born.
27:48He doesn't suit you.
27:49The match is off.
27:51Agree.
27:51And any she-wolf in the territory is yours.
27:54And there it was.
27:55Reed's secret.
27:56Finally out in the open.
27:57His own brother.
27:58Secretly wanting his future mate.
28:00And what if I don't agree to that?
28:02Last life, Reed ruled as Alpha for years.
28:04Almost no one ever dared defy him.
28:06His face soured.
28:09Then you ship off to guard the far northern border.
28:11Never set foot near the heart territory again.
28:14Live out there.
28:14Even the least loved sons of a pack.
28:16Their dens stay close.
28:17They visit on feast days.
28:19Agreeing to this was nothing short of exile.
28:21I felt my nerves twist tight.
28:22Kai and Red share a mother.
28:24As the youngest, he's spoiled.
28:26Everything he owns is the finest there is.
28:28Before me, everyone assumed he'd mate the highest-born she-wolf.
28:31Would he really throw all of that away?
28:33Just for me, my heart pounded.
28:35I waited for him to weigh it.
28:36The land.
28:37The rank.
28:38Every comfort he'd ever known.
28:39An Alpha's word is law.
28:41So hear mine, brother.
28:42Take the rank.
28:43Take the land.
28:44Take all of it.
28:46I'd rather have nothing.
28:48And have her.
28:48The whole hall went silent.
28:50Nobody breathed.
28:51Reed stared at him.
28:52Like he couldn't compute it.
28:55You'd throw away everything for one woman?
29:00Not one woman.
29:02The woman I'll spend my whole life beside.
29:13Reed, you want to know something?
29:16You're not fit to be her mate.
29:17You're not fit to be my brother.
29:21Outside the pack house, I finally learned the truth.
29:23Kai didn't come alone that day.
29:24The Alpha, the Luna, even the Elder Mother came too.
29:29They didn't go in, but they heard every word Reed said.
29:35Reed, you tried to steal your own brother's mate?
29:37If this gets out, what will the whole pack think of you?
29:40What about your place as the heir?
29:42I am the heir.
29:43She is one woman.
29:44If I want her, I take her.
29:46That's what power is.
29:50You were raised wrong.
29:54Go and fix your character.
29:56So the Alpha gave the order on the spot.
29:58Reed was confined to the pack house.
30:00One month, sealed in.
30:06So the heir went through with it after all.
30:08Ava, like she'd known this day was coming for a long time.
30:11I found that painting in his room.
30:13That's when I knew.
30:15I knew then I'd never be his mate.
30:17I'm sorry.
30:18Truly.
30:20For last life, and for this one, both times I wrecked her one shot at love.
30:27After all this, my father finally agreed.
30:30He's letting me end the match for good.
30:33I won't be his Luna.
30:35And for the first time, I'm free.
30:40After Kai brought me home.
30:54He said he was old enough to claim his own land now.
30:57The Alpha and Luna talked him out of the border.
30:59But it was still a far, remote place.
31:02Two days' hard ride from the Heart Territory.
31:04Farther away is better.
31:06That way, nobody gets ideas they shouldn't have.
31:09Time was short.
31:10We couldn't mate before we left.
31:11So we'd hold the ceremony once we reached the new land.
31:21The new land is far from here, but close to Cedar Hollow.
31:25If you miss home, you can visit any time you want.
31:28Just one thing.
31:30Just what?
31:32Just don't stay gone too long.
31:33Don't forget there's someone home, waiting for you.
31:36The eyes had gone soft in Syria.
31:38I mean it, Sloane.
31:39You're mine now.
31:40I froze for a breath, then I kissed him back.
31:42Two lifetimes of waiting were finally over.
31:47Found you.
31:48And I'm never letting go.
31:50I held on tight, thinking the very same thing.
31:53Finally, this life, I'm not locked in someone else's house.
31:58The road ahead is wide open now.
32:01And this time, someone is walking it with me.
