Short filmTranscript
00:00:00On the night my husband died saving me, his last words were
00:00:03If there is a next life, leave me be with Jade
00:00:09So when I woke up back on the day I begged my father to let me marry him
00:00:13I chose someone else instead
00:00:16My first mating ceremony with Vincent
00:00:18I learned the true weight of hatred
00:00:21Before the silver moon god, Princess Lydia and Beta Vincent
00:00:26Shall mark one another, bite the neck and seal your bond as mates
00:00:31Till death do you part
00:00:34My heart pounded so hard I could hear it in my ears
00:00:36I stepped forward, my legs barely supporting me
00:00:39And leaned toward Vincent's neck
00:00:41A silver moon mark appeared on his wrist
00:00:43The first sign that the bond was forming, that the goddess had blessed our union
00:00:46Vincent lowered his head as if to return the gesture
00:00:49But he did not bite me
00:00:51And then he whispered
00:00:52You forced Jade to marry the alpha of the snow wolf pack
00:00:55And now you're forcing me to mate with you
00:00:58I hate you Lydia, I will never love you
00:01:01I froze, the hopeful smile on my face slowly disappeared
00:01:05Replaced by shock and heartbreak so profound I thought I might shatter into pieces right there on the altar
00:01:09Vincent straightened
00:01:11The silver moon mark on his wrist
00:01:12The mark that should have bound us together for eternity
00:01:15Shattered into fragments of light and faded away
00:01:17Without another word, he turned and walked away from the altar
00:01:23I called after him, my voice breaking
00:01:25But he didn't turn around
00:01:27He didn't even slow down
00:01:29I stood there in my beautiful silver grey gown
00:01:31Surrounded by hundreds of staring eyes
00:01:33And felt my world collapse
00:01:34Vincent loved my stepsister
00:01:36He always had
00:01:37And I was just the woman standing in their way
00:01:39That night
00:01:40While I stood humiliated at my own mating ceremony
00:01:43My stepsister Jade met a far worse fate
00:01:46In the snow wolf territory, far from our forest
00:01:48Jade lay pinned to a glowing blood-red magic circle
00:01:50Several snow wolves clamped their jaws onto her arms and legs
00:01:54Holding her down as she struggled in agony
00:01:56Blood poured from her wounds as the ritual began
00:01:58The magic circle erupted with blinding crimson light
00:02:01Around her, the snow wolf clan stood in human form
00:02:04A silver moon crest appeared on each of their foreheads
00:02:07Then shattered into glowing fragments and disappeared
00:02:09The curse that bound them
00:02:11The curse my ancestors had placed on them centuries ago
00:02:13Had been lifted
00:02:14The snow wolves burst into tears of relief and joy
00:02:17But their expression soon turned cold
00:02:19As they looked down at Jade trembling on the ground
00:02:21One by one, they transformed into wolves
00:02:24And descended upon her
00:02:25Jade's screams echoed through the night
00:02:27As the pack tore her apart
00:02:28The snow wolves killed Jade on her arrival
00:02:30They drained her blood to cure their curse
00:02:32Then they devoured her until nothing remained
00:02:35For eight years after that night
00:02:36Hatred was all there was between Vincent and me
00:02:39We fought constantly
00:02:40We clashed in pack meetings
00:02:42In training, in every aspect of our lives
00:02:44Two wolves colliding in a violent fight over and over again
00:02:47Me the silver grey
00:02:48Him the dark brown
00:02:49We clawed and slammed into each other with savage force
00:02:52Until one of us finally pinned the other
00:02:54Usually, it was him
00:02:55I would shift back into human form
00:02:57And press my hand against whatever wound I'd earned in the latest battle
00:03:00Watching him disappear into the distance with tears filling my eyes
00:03:03Eight years of hatred
00:03:04Eight years of loving someone who would never love me back
00:03:07When the war with the snow wolves finally began
00:03:09Vincent swore to avenge Jade
00:03:10But the snow wolves were too strong
00:03:12And soon the forest was filled with the corpses of our kin
00:03:15I was in human form
00:03:16Covered in wounds and surrounded by snow wolves closing in for the kill
00:03:19I had accepted my fate
00:03:21After eight years of misery
00:03:22Death almost seemed like a relief
00:03:24Suddenly a brown wolf burst through the pack
00:03:27It was Vincent
00:03:28He threw me onto his back and raced through the forest as the snow wolves pursued us
00:03:31I clung to his fur
00:03:33Too weak and shocked to do anything else
00:03:35Vincent reached the ancient altar
00:03:36The same altar where we had almost become mates eight years ago
00:03:39And shifted into human form
00:03:41I slid down from his back
00:03:42Struggling to stand
00:03:44Without hesitation
00:03:45Vincent drew a blade and cut open his own chest
00:03:47Blood poured down his body
00:03:49I stared at him in shock
00:03:51Vincent what are you doing?
00:03:52Drops of his blood fell onto the altar
00:03:54And a crimson magic circle appeared beneath my feet
00:03:57A transparent barrier rose around me
00:03:59Sealing the inside
00:04:00I rushed forward and pounded against the barrier
00:04:02But it would not break
00:04:03I'm teleporting you out with my life
00:04:06Consider it repayment for the years you loved me
00:04:09But if there is a next life
00:04:11Leave me be with Jaded
00:04:16I screamed
00:04:17That the snow wolves had arrived at the altar
00:04:19Vincent turned to face them alone
00:04:21The wolves leaped onto him and tore into his body
00:04:23Claws ripped through flesh and blood splashed across the stone altar
00:04:28I slammed my fists against the barrier as my body slowly began to fade
00:04:32Vincent, I never imagined you would die to save me
00:04:35If there truly is another life
00:04:37I will never chase after you again
00:04:38My body dissolved into light and disappeared within the magic circle
00:04:42A single tear mixed with blood fell onto the altar
00:04:44The crimson circle suddenly turned gold
00:04:46Erupting with a brilliant light that flooded the forest
00:04:49I opened my eyes
00:04:50I was standing in the middle of the silver moon palace
00:04:53My father was looking down at me
00:04:55Sullen and mighty
00:04:56And Jade, Jade, who should have been dead for 8 years
00:04:59Gazed at me with hatred
00:05:00Wait, I thought
00:05:01My mind reeling
00:05:03I'm actually back to the day when I begged father to make Vincent my mate
00:05:06Lydia
00:05:07My father said
00:05:08His voice heavy with authority
00:05:09The snow wolves demand a daughter of mine to mate with their alpha
00:05:13And lift the curse for them
00:05:15If we say no there will be a war we can't win
00:05:19Are you still sure you are turning down the offer to marry Vincent?
00:05:23I stared at him
00:05:24My heart pounding
00:05:25This is it
00:05:26This is the moment everything changes
00:05:28In my previous life
00:05:29I had insisted on marrying Vincent
00:05:31I had manipulated and begged and cried until my father gave in
00:05:35And what had it gotten me?
00:05:378 years of hatred
00:05:388 years of misery
00:05:39And Vincent dying to save me
00:05:41Only because he felt obligated
00:05:43No more
00:05:43Father
00:05:45I've changed my mind
00:05:46I will fulfill my duty and marry the snow wolf alpha
00:05:51Jade suddenly looked up
00:05:53Staring at me in disbelief
00:05:54Haven't you always wanted to marry Vincent?
00:05:56What changed your mind?
00:05:58What are you planning?
00:05:59I met her gaze without flinching
00:06:01I'm not planning anything
00:06:03But I do have one condition
00:06:05My father's eyes narrowed with suspicion
00:06:07What condition?
00:06:08Keep it secret
00:06:09Till the day of the mating ceremony
00:06:11A flicker of excitement crossed Jade's face
00:06:14Sure
00:06:15I have no problem with that
00:06:16Consider it my repayment for Vincent saving my life in our last life
00:06:20I thought
00:06:20It will also be the final chapter between us and this one
00:06:23My father sighed
00:06:25Very well
00:06:25In 5 days the two of you will hold their mating ceremonies with your destined partners
00:06:32I will have the preparations arranged
00:06:35I lowered my gaze with a bitter smile
00:06:37Destined partners?
00:06:39My father has never cared about my happiness
00:06:41Between Jade and me
00:06:43He has always favored the daughter my stepmother gave him
00:06:45The palace doors opened and I stepped outside
00:06:48The first thing I saw was Vincent kneeling in the pouring rain
00:06:50His back straight and unmoving
00:06:52It's him
00:06:53Just like before
00:06:54Even in this life
00:06:55He was here begging for Jade on his knees
00:06:57In my previous life
00:06:59I had reacted with fury
00:07:00I had ordered him taken away
00:07:02Had watched him struggle and scream as the attendants dragged him off
00:07:05No!
00:07:05Let me go!
00:07:08I had made everything worse
00:07:10This time would be different
00:07:11I walked toward Vincent with an umbrella
00:07:13The rain pounding heavily around us
00:07:15He looked up at me
00:07:16Frowning slightly
00:07:18Then quickly looked away
00:07:19Why are you here?
00:07:20Vincent
00:07:21Have you ever thought about something?
00:07:24If Jade doesn't go
00:07:25Then the one who must go
00:07:27Is me
00:07:28His expression remained cold
00:07:30As long as you don't interfere
00:07:32I can lead the army and conquer the snow wolf pack myself
00:07:36Then neither of you will have to marry that brute
00:07:39I let out a soft
00:07:41Almost amused laugh
00:07:42He still doesn't understand
00:07:44The snow wolves are too strong
00:07:46In my previous life
00:07:47They nearly destroyed us
00:07:49Then I wish
00:07:50You will get what you wish for
00:07:51I let out a cold laugh
00:07:53And walked away from Vincent beneath my umbrella
00:07:55When he sees Jade instead of me
00:07:57When the veil is lifted
00:07:58He will be so happy
00:07:59Vincent, you saved my life in our last life
00:08:01In this one, I've repaid that debt
00:08:04We are clear
00:08:05Behind me, I could feel this surprised stare on my retreating figure
00:08:08She used to always make a scene for this
00:08:10He was probably thinking
00:08:12Why is she so calm today?
00:08:14Let him wonder
00:08:15It didn't matter anymore
00:08:16Night fell
00:08:17And I sat on my bed preparing to sleep
00:08:20The events of the day had exhausted me emotionally
00:08:22Even if my body wasn't tired
00:08:24Being back in this time
00:08:25Seeing Vincent so young and full of hatred for me
00:08:27It was harder than I had expected
00:08:29Suddenly, loud and chaotic pounding erupted at my door
00:08:33I frowned and walked over to open it
00:08:35The moment the door opened
00:08:36Vincent shoved me back against it
00:08:38His eyes glowed red
00:08:39And the heavy smell of alcohol clung to him
00:08:41Lydia
00:08:42Why did you have to send Jade to the Snow Wolf Pack?
00:08:46You
00:08:46You let the Alpha to your order
00:08:48You manipulated the Alpha to give the order
00:08:51Vincent, let go!
00:08:53You're hurting me!
00:08:55The Snow Wolf Pack
00:08:56Has a blood feud with us
00:08:58They have suffered under the curse
00:09:00From our ancestors for centuries
00:09:03What do you think they will do to Jade
00:09:05Once the curses lift?
00:09:07Is that what you want?
00:09:08You want your sister dead?
00:09:10He tightened his grip on my shoulders
00:09:12His fingers digging into my flesh
00:09:14Jealous, vicious woman like you
00:09:16Doesn't deserve anyone's love!
00:09:18Do you really think
00:09:19Forcing me to mate with you
00:09:21Will make me submert?
00:09:24Dream on!
00:09:25I froze
00:09:26My eyes reddening as I stared at him in disbelief
00:09:28That look of hatred on his face
00:09:30It's exactly the same as the day we turned our swords against each other in our last life
00:09:34A bitter smile crossed my lips
00:09:36I lifted my hand and released a burst of magic
00:09:38Vincent was thrown several meters away
00:09:41Crashing to the ground before barely managing to kneel
00:09:44Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth
00:09:46Vincent
00:09:47Don't forget your place
00:09:49He wiped the blood from his lips with his knuckle
00:09:51And looked up at me in stunned silence
00:09:53Vincent slowly stood
00:09:54The alcohol haze in his eyes faded slightly as his mind cleared
00:09:58He walked closer to me
00:09:59His gaze fell on the red mark along my neck
00:10:02The mark his grip had left
00:10:03His throat tightened and a flicker of regret crossed his eyes
00:10:06I pressed a hand against my shoulder
00:10:08Biting back the pain as I stared at him
00:10:11I'm sorry
00:10:12I've had too much to drink
00:10:14I turned away from him
00:10:15My expression cold
00:10:18On the day of the mating ceremony you will get what you want
00:10:21Now please leave
00:10:22I turned to go back inside
00:10:24His hand shot out and grabbed my wrist
00:10:26Let me take you to the witch doctor
00:10:28She can treat your injury
00:10:30I glanced back
00:10:31His concern appeared genuine
00:10:33Genuine concern?
00:10:34Or guilt?
00:10:36Memories flooded my mind unbidden
00:10:37I was young
00:10:38Kneeling among a field of bright flowers
00:10:40Picking a red blossom
00:10:41The pollen suddenly corroded my skin
00:10:44The flesh on my palm and legs began to blister and bleed
00:10:47I burst into tears
00:10:48Young Vincent ran toward me as fast as he could
00:10:51Lydia don't be afraid
00:10:52He rushed for the poisonous flowers and lifted me onto his back
00:10:55Carrying me out of the field
00:10:57His own skin was burned and bleeding from the corrosion
00:10:59I watched him with tearful gratitude
00:11:01Then another memory
00:11:03Young Vincent and I were suddenly attacked by a horned beast in the forest
00:11:06Vincent stepped in front of me to shield me
00:11:08The creature slammed into him
00:11:10Sending him crashing to the ground as he caught up blood
00:11:14Other brown wolves rushed in and drove the beast away
00:11:16I knelt beside Vincent
00:11:18Crying as I held him
00:11:19He gently wiped away my tears
00:11:22As long as you're safe
00:11:26After my mother died
00:11:28Vincent always looked after me
00:11:29He always protected me
00:11:31Even risking his own life
00:11:32I fell for him and thought he was my savior
00:11:35But then Jade appeared
00:11:36Jade and I trained with several young pack members
00:11:39Under the guidance of the pack witch
00:11:40Jade suddenly smirked and secretly cast a spell toward me
00:11:48I was struck and immediately retaliated in anger
00:11:54Vincent rushed over
00:12:04I watched in heartbreak as Vincent carried her away
00:12:07Jade looked back over his shoulder
00:12:09Smiling mockingly at me
00:12:11After Jade appeared
00:12:12I finally understood
00:12:13Everything Vincent had done for me
00:12:15Was only repayment for the kindness my mother once showed him
00:12:18I mistook it for love
00:12:19And clung to that illusion for an entire lifetime
00:12:21I looked at Vincent for a long moment
00:12:23It's time to let go
00:12:26There's no need
00:12:27He stared at me in surprise
00:12:28She has never looked at me like this before
00:12:31Why does it feel like she's become a completely different person today?
00:12:34Just then, Jade appeared
00:12:36Vincent!
00:12:37The moment he saw her, his expression softened
00:12:39Vincent
00:12:41What about the wolf fang charms you promised to make for me?
00:12:44He took a small cloth patch from his coat and opened it
00:12:47Right here
00:12:48Revealing many golden wolf fang charms of different shapes
00:12:50Jade's eyes widened with amazement
00:12:54Vincent, you're incredible
00:12:56Well, you must have made these for lots of people, right?
00:12:59No
00:13:01I only make them for people I care about
00:13:03Vincent lowered his head as he took out one charm and fastened it around Jade's neck
00:13:07My eyes locked onto the wolf fang charm
00:13:09My chest rose and fell sharply as a ringing sound filled my ears
00:13:12My mother sat on a large round stone beside a silver wolf statue deep in the forest
00:13:18Suspended in the air before her was a wolf fang engraved with runes
00:13:22With her eyes closed, she chanted softly, weaving magic into the fang
00:13:27Young Vincent and I stood nearby, watching curiously
00:13:31My mother smiled and placed the wolf hand charm into my little hands
00:13:36I clapped happily and laughed
00:13:38A white coffin rested in the forest
00:13:40My mother lay inside
00:13:41I knelt on the ground beside it, crying uncontrollably
00:13:44Standing next to me, young Vincent gently pressed a wolf fang charm into my hand
00:13:48His own hands were covered in fresh wounds
00:13:50It was my mother who taught Vincent the spell to enchant the charm
00:13:53She used to make many charms to protect me
00:13:55After her death, Vincent took her place
00:13:57Vincent carefully dripped his blood onto a wolf fang, preparing another charm
00:14:01Suddenly I rushed in and snatched it from his hands
00:14:04I clenched my fist tightly, and the wolf fang crumbled into glittering particles of light
00:14:08You are not making charms for her
00:14:10That's enough
00:14:11How long are you going to keep bullying Jade?
00:14:13Vincent stared at me with open disgust
00:14:15He turned and walked away without another word
00:14:17I stood frozen as tears welled in my eyes
00:14:20Vicinit, have you forgotten?
00:14:22My mother died because of Jade's mother
00:14:23In the present, Jade glanced deliberately toward me with a provocative smile
00:14:28Jade doesn't even like those show's tears charms
00:14:31This is just her way to provoke me
00:14:35My hands clenched into fists
00:14:37I turned and shut the door behind me
00:14:39At the same moment I turned away, Vincent looked up
00:14:42Why did Lydia leave?
00:14:45Is she mad at me?
00:14:46Vincent watched my back for a long moment, deep in thought
00:14:49Vincent, you despise me so much
00:14:51Don't worry, in three days, you and I will never have to see each other again for good
00:14:56Inside the magnificent palace hall, nobles dressed in luxurious attire mingled and danced beneath glittering chandeliers
00:15:03At the center of the crowd, Jade stood with red hidden eyes, crying softly as several guests gathered around her
00:15:10in sympathy
00:15:11After tonight's farewell of banquet, you'll be sent to marry our enemy, the brutal snow wolf king
00:15:16And as your sister, all Lydia cares about is her marriage with Vincent?
00:15:20She's even forcing him to mate with her
00:15:22She's ridiculous
00:15:24Jade, we'll miss you so much
00:15:26I am a princess of the Silver Moon Pack
00:15:28The pack must come before my personal feelings
00:15:31If the marriage can put a stop to the bloodshed between us, then it shall be done
00:15:34You've got such a big heart
00:15:36How can Lydia miss out on your farewell party?
00:15:38This is outrageous
00:15:38Maybe she doesn't deserve to be the princess of Silver Moon Pack after all
00:15:43Talking behind my back, I entered the hall, dressed in an elegant gown, my presence sharp and commanding
00:15:49I walked straight through the crowd until I stood before Jade and the gossing nobles
00:15:53Who are you to judge me?
00:15:56I drained the wine in my glass in one motion and turned, leaving the banquet alone
00:16:02Near the Silver Wolf statue in the garden, I paused beside it, trying to clear the alcohol from my head
00:16:07Sister, I know you decided to take my place and go to the Snow Wolf Pack instead
00:16:11But that was your own choice, I never forced you
00:16:14Behind me, Vincent quietly appeared, watching from a distance
00:16:17Jade noticed him, a cold smile briefly curled at the corner of her lips
00:16:20She placed a hand over her chest
00:16:22Because I stood between them, Vincent could not see what Jade was doing
00:16:25She secretly cast a spell
00:16:26Suddenly my arm moved against my will as if guided by an invisible hand
00:16:30A bolt of lightning magic struck toward Jade
00:16:32Vincent reacted instantly
00:16:34He cast a spell that slammed into me
00:16:37Vincent rushed forward and pulled Jade protectively into his arms
00:16:40He glared furiously at me
00:16:41Enough!
00:16:42His teeth ground together with anger
00:16:44I thought you were only a bit childish
00:16:47But this is too much
00:16:48You are pure evil
00:16:50You almost killed Jade
00:16:51And for what?
00:16:53If your mother were still alive, she would be utterly ashamed to see what you've become
00:16:58Vincent!
00:16:59My hand lifted as magic gathered in my palm
00:17:03Vincent raised his hand as well
00:17:06We faced each other in open confrontation
00:17:09While the surrounding guests stared in shock
00:17:12In our previous life, during the 8 years after we didn't marry, we argued over Jade countless times
00:17:16But we never truly tried to hurt each other
00:17:18I raised my hand higher, but this time, golden light burst from my palm and shot toward Vincent
00:17:23His eyes widened in shock
00:17:25Around us, the crowd gasped in disbelief
00:17:27Suddenly I coughed up blood
00:17:29The golden light in my hand flickered and dissolved just inches before reaching Vincent
00:17:33My legs gave out beneath me
00:17:35My legs gave out beneath me
00:17:36I fell forward, but landed in a firm pair of arms
00:17:40Lydia, what's wrong with you?
00:17:42For a brief moment, panic flashed across his face
00:17:45With the last of my strength, I grabbed his collar and clenched it tightly
00:17:49You have no right to speak about my mother
00:17:56Lydia
00:17:56Lydia
00:17:59Vincent, I
00:18:00Vincent did not stop
00:18:02His attention remained entirely on me as he strode away, leaving Jade behind
00:18:06Jade's expression darkened instantly
00:18:08Lydia
00:18:10You're already going to marry our enemy and walk to your own death
00:18:13Yet you're still trying to deal Vincent from me
00:18:16The next thing I knew, I was lying weakly on my bed
00:18:20Barely conscious as the witch doctor finished casting a healing spell and quietly left the room
00:18:24I slowly opened my eyes
00:18:26The first thing I saw was Vincent standing beside the bed, waiting with visible guilt in his expression
00:18:31In our previous life, Vincent never came to see me on his own
00:18:34Even when I was gravely ill, he only sent someone to summon a healer
00:18:38He avoided me as if I were a plague
00:18:41Why are you here?
00:18:42I'm sorry
00:18:45There's no need for apologies between us anymore
00:18:48Leaf
00:18:48I closed my eyes
00:18:50Behind me, a sharp sound suddenly echoed through the room
00:18:53Vincent had slapped himself hard across the face
00:18:56Moments later, the sound of his footsteps faded
00:18:59The door opened, then closed
00:19:01Only then did I fully open my eyes again
00:19:03Vincent, you will be free very soon
00:19:05In just a few days, you will finally marry the woman you have loved through both lifetimes
00:19:10After that, you will never have to see me again
00:19:13And I will never have to suffer for you anymore
00:19:15Moonlight outlined Vincent's tall figure standing outside my door
00:19:20He remained there, motionless, for two days and nights
00:19:25Inside my room, I opened, a silver jewel box encrusted with diamonds
00:19:29Inside rested a wolf hand charm
00:19:32The one Vincent had made for me long ago, before Jade
00:19:35Before everything changed
00:19:37Through the window, I glanced toward Vincent, standing outside
00:19:41Since that night, Vincent has stood outside my door for two days and nights
00:19:45But I haven't let him in
00:19:47Lydia, I will marry you
00:19:50I will spend the rest of my life making up for what I did to hurt you
00:19:53I swear it in the name of the goddess of the moon
00:19:56I raised my hand and quietly cast a spell
00:19:59Inside the room, the lights dimmed instantly
00:20:02Vincent waited outside for a moment longer
00:20:05Then, realizing I would not answer him, he finally turned and walked away
00:20:10I heard his footsteps fade
00:20:11A single tear slipped down from the corner of my eye
00:20:14He has no idea
00:20:15Tomorrow, I will take my sister's place and marry the snow wolf alpha
00:20:19I will mate with our enemy, with little chance to survive
00:20:22The woman he will marry is Jade
00:20:24Deep within the silver moon pack's forest, white roses bloomed everywhere on the day of the mating ceremonies
00:20:30The ceremonial grounds were lavishly decorated, and a crowd gathered around the central altar
00:20:34As that's Cantrish and Iva Stalans of Weisingun Ascendions
00:20:38At the boundary where the forest met the snow fields, I stood alone
00:20:41I turned back to look at the dense forest behind me, my eyes filled with quiet reluctance
00:20:47By now, Vincent has probably received the surprise I left for him
00:20:50Vincent, what I owed you from our last life has been repaid
00:20:54A pack of snow-white wolves emerged from the snowy plain and approached me, their eyes fierce
00:20:59You longer belong to the forest
00:21:01Come with us
00:21:04I turned back calmly and walked toward them
00:21:07Wyss lifted a veil over my face, then climbed onto the back of one of the wolves
00:21:11In the distance, a brown wolf burst from the forest, racing toward us at full speed
00:21:16The wolf skidded to a halt before the snow wolves but was quickly surrounded
00:21:20With no other choice, it shifted into human form
00:21:24It was Vincent
00:21:25I turned and saw his face
00:21:27Shock flooded my expression
00:21:28Vincent, what is he doing here?
00:21:31I sat atop the snow wolf, my face hidden beneath the veil
00:21:34Isn't he supposed to be at the altar with Jade, preparing for the mating ceremony?
00:21:38What is he doing here?
00:21:40Vincent spotted me and immediately rushed forward
00:21:42The snow wolves beside me surged ahead as one, walking his path and snarling fiercely
00:21:47Vincent Armand, one more step, and the snow wolf army will charge into your land and tear your clan apart
00:21:55Vincent gritted his teeth and stopped
00:21:57But his eyes remained fixed on me, filled with reluctance and aching affection
00:22:02Let me escort you
00:22:03I remained silent
00:22:06Are you mad at me for marrying your sister?
00:22:09I froze slightly
00:22:10So he thinks I'm Jade, and he got here early for her
00:22:13Guess the big surprise hasn't reached him yet
00:22:16But this is a debt I owe her
00:22:18I owe it to her mother
00:22:20I had no other choice
00:22:22Jade, forgive me, please
00:22:24Beneath my veil toll like her veil, I let out a bitter smile
00:22:28I'm sorry I couldn't stop this marriage
00:22:31But one day, I will lead an army
00:22:34Crush the snow wolf pack
00:22:36And bring you back safe and unharmed
00:22:39Believe me, Vincent Armand
00:22:42Back away now, or your life ends here
00:22:47Take me
00:22:47The snow wolf snarled again and forced Vincent backward before turning as one
00:22:52They sprinted across the snow field and disappeared into the distance
00:22:56Behind us, Vincent chased a few desperate steps before stopping
00:23:00Vincent walked back toward the forest in a daze, each step feeling heavy
00:23:06If I had tried just a little harder, maybe Jade wouldn't have had to go
00:23:09He was probably thinking
00:23:10She must hate me for this
00:23:12But there's nothing I could do
00:23:14He returned to the ceremonial altar deep within the forest
00:23:17The gathered guests were visibly exhausted from waiting
00:23:20When they saw Vincent return, many of them let out quiet sighs of relief
00:23:24Vincent
00:23:25Your behavior is outrageous
00:23:27You kept all these people waiting and left my daughter standing here humiliated
00:23:31Is this a message to my house?
00:23:34Vincent knelt halfway in a formal salute, accepting the reprimand without protest
00:23:38Jade quickly reached for my father's arm and gently shook her head at him, coaxing
00:23:45Forget it, let's begin
00:23:46Vincent took a deep breath and slowly walked up onto the altar
00:23:49He stopped in front of Jade
00:23:51Regret filled his face
00:23:52The witch raised her staff and chanted an incantation
00:23:56The moon god be our witness
00:23:58Princess Jade and Beta Vincent shall mark one another with the bite of a mate bond
00:24:04From this moment on, your souls are bound till death do you part
00:24:11Under my father's stern gaze and the expectant eyes of the guests, Jade stepped closer to Vincent
00:24:15Vincent closed his eyes and tilted his head slightly, fists clenched tightly
00:24:20This is it, Jade and I will finally become destined mates
00:24:23Jade removed her veil and bit down on Vincent's neck
00:24:26That instant, a silver moon mark appeared on Vincent's wrist
00:24:29Jade tilted her head, watching him with anticipation
00:24:32Vincent opened his eyes and lowered his head to look at her
00:24:35The moment he saw her face, he froze
00:24:37Shock flooded his expression
00:24:40What? Jade?
00:24:41Vincent stared at Jade in disbelief
00:24:44Why is it you?
00:24:46Jade avoided his gaze, her expression shy and hesitant
00:24:49I... I don't know why either
00:24:52Yesterday my sister, she was said you willing to go to the snow wolf pack, so...
00:24:55Vincent's eyes widened
00:24:57What did you say?
00:24:58The one marrying into the snow wolf pack is Lydia?
00:25:00He suddenly grabbed Jade by the shoulders, his hands trembling
00:25:03Then that woman, the one taken away by the snow wolves alone
00:25:08I'm sorry I couldn't stop you from marrying our enemy
00:25:12But listen, one day I will lead an army, crush those snow wolves and make them beg for life beneath
00:25:16our feet
00:25:17I will bring you back
00:25:19Safe and sound
00:25:22Trust me
00:25:23Behind the veil, she gave a bitter smile
00:25:26Time to go
00:25:29The snow wolf snarled and forced him back before turning his one and sprinting away
00:25:32He chased after them a few desperate steps
00:25:35Jade!
00:25:38Vincent suddenly bolted from the altar platform
00:25:40Midst right, he transformed into a wolf and sprinted toward the snow fields at full speed
00:25:46Vincent! Where are you going?
00:25:48But he was already gone, his voice echoing with anguish and regret
00:25:52Inside the snow wolf palace, the halls were built entirely from ice and packed snow, cold and gleaming beneath pale
00:25:57light
00:25:57I walked slowly into the grand hall
00:25:59Every snow wolf present stared at me with undisguised hatred
00:26:02Low murmurs rippled through the crowd
00:26:04At the far end of the hall sat the ice throne
00:26:06Upon it lounged Damien Wraith, white hair, loose curls, and a white cloak draped across his shoulders
00:26:12His gaze rested on me as though he were looking at a corpse
00:26:15I opened my mouth to speak
00:26:17But Damien attacked
00:26:18I instantly sensed the killing intent
00:26:21My eyes sharpened, with a flash of magic
00:26:23A long sword appeared in my hand, just in time to block the wolf claws of Damien, who lunged at
00:26:28me in his wolf form
00:26:29In the blink of an eye, we exchanged several rapid strikes
00:26:32Damien shifted back into human form
00:26:34The earlier contempt in his eyes faded slightly, replaced by a flicker of interest
00:26:38Then he vanished
00:26:39A heartbeat later he reappeared behind me, gripping my throat in a crushing hold
00:26:44His chest pressed against my back as he restrained me
00:26:46I struggled to breathe
00:26:48You can't kill me
00:26:50Your people have suffered under the silver moon curse for generations
00:26:53If you don't form a mate bond with me, none of you will live past 25
00:26:58Damien's hand morphed into a wolf claw and pierced into my chest
00:27:01Blood trickled down as he studied the terror in my eyes with cold fascination
00:27:06It seems you don't know
00:27:09Your blood alone can also weaken the curse
00:27:11Looking at him now, so young yet overflowing with killing intent
00:27:15I finally understand why Jade died the very day she came here to form the bond
00:27:18I forced myself to speak through the pain
00:27:20My blood can't save your entire clan
00:27:23My blood can't save your entire clan
00:27:25But if you bond with me, the curse will truly be broken
00:27:28And after that, you'll never have to fear the silver moon curse again
00:27:32The hall erupted into heated discussion
00:27:36Damien slowly released me and stepped back
00:27:39I clutched my throat, gasping for air
00:27:42Suddenly gripped my chin and lifted my face
00:27:44Forcing me to meet his eyes
00:27:46He studied me for a moment
00:27:47Interesting
00:27:49I'll give you a chance to live
00:27:51Walk out of this hall alive
00:27:52If you fail, I'll lock you away and drain your blood every day
00:27:56Until the curse on every snow wolf is gone
00:27:59Before I could respond, Damien disappeared
00:28:01I looked around
00:28:03Every snow wolf in the hall vanished at the same time
00:28:05Damien?
00:28:07Where did you all go?
00:28:10A low, thunderous brawl suddenly echoed from above
00:28:12I slowly lifted my gaze
00:28:14Beyond the transparent ice ceiling
00:28:16A massive white bear stood outside, staring down at me
00:28:19Its eyes blazed with hunger and savage intent
00:28:21My eyes widened in horror
00:28:25Not far from the palace
00:28:26Damien and several snow wolves stood quietly
00:28:28Observing me through the transparent ice structure
00:28:31Alpha
00:28:32Are you truly going to kill her?
00:28:34Damien's eyes remained cold as he watched me inside
00:28:36If what she said is true, we can always kill her after the curse is lifted
00:28:41But blood feuds like ours are never forgotten
00:28:43If we simply let her go
00:28:45Our ancestors and the clansmen who died will never accept it
00:28:48He paused
00:28:49His gaze fixed on me
00:28:50Let her suffer a little first
00:28:52Inside the palace
00:28:53I stood tense and alert
00:28:54Damien watched me closely
00:28:56I suddenly turned and tried to run
00:28:58With a thunderous crash, the giant bear smashed through the ice roof
00:29:02Shards of frozen stone rained down as it landed directly in front of me
00:29:05Blocking my escape
00:29:06Outside, Damien continued watching
00:29:08Looking at her closely, he thought
00:29:10She is quite lively, and beautiful
00:29:13A pity she was born in the wrong place and came to the wrong place
00:29:16She was always destined to become a sacrifice for her hatred
00:29:19He exhaled quietly
00:29:20He had no desire to watch me torn apart
00:29:23Turning away, he gave an order
00:29:25When it's over, bring her body back to the inner hall
00:29:27Have the witch actor keep her alive
00:29:29That will be enough
00:29:30Yes, Alpha
00:29:31Damien began to walk away
00:29:33He had barely taken a few steps when startled cries erupted behind him
00:29:38Alpha, something's happening
00:29:40Damien froze in place
00:29:42Momentarily stunned
00:29:43Inside the palace, I drew my sword
00:29:45The entire blade erupted into blazing flames
00:29:50Shock, quickly followed by admiration, crossed his features
00:29:54On my face, cold sweat beaded across my skin
00:29:57Yet my expression remained steady and calm
00:30:01I stood with my flaming sword raised
00:30:03The fear and panic that once filled my eyes had completely vanished
00:30:06The roaring flames startled the giant bear
00:30:09It instinctively retreated, letting out a low, uneasy growl
00:30:12I held the burning sword in one hand while chanting a spell with the other
00:30:16Golden runes spilled from my lips one after a gather, spiraling around the blade
00:30:20The flames surged higher and higher, growing nearly as tall as the bear itself
00:30:28With a fierce shout, I lifted the sword with both hands
00:30:30And leaped into the air, charging towards the giant bear
00:30:34Outside, watching from a distance, Damien's expression deepened with surprise
00:30:38In his eyes now shone unmistakable admiration
00:30:40The blazing fire terrified the giant bear, causing it to turn and flee
00:30:44But I struck first
00:30:46With a powerful swing, I brought the sword down in a blazing arc
00:30:49One clean strike
00:30:50The bear's head was severed instantly
00:30:52The massive body collapsed to the ground, shaking the palace like an earthquake
00:30:56I landed lightly
00:30:57I planted one foot on the fallen bear's head
00:31:00My body smeared with blood and fire
00:31:02After a moment, my strength gave way
00:31:04My body swayed
00:31:06I drove the sword into the ground to stable myself
00:31:09Then dropped to one knee, breathing heavily
00:31:11A deep claw wound tore across my right shoulder
00:31:14Blood steadily soaking through my clothes
00:31:17The watching snow wolves stared in disbelief
00:31:19Everyone except Damien looked completely stunned
00:31:23That silver moon woman killed a giant bear by herself
00:31:25If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I never would have believed it
00:31:29Could she possess some extraordinary power?
00:31:33Alpha, should we take advantage of her weakness and finish her off?
00:31:36Damien studied me for a long moment
00:31:38Then he lifted his hand slightly and turned away
00:31:40Withdraw
00:31:41The others froze briefly before quickly following him
00:31:43As they left, the first subordinate kept glancing back toward me, muttering quietly
00:31:48Can't believe it
00:31:49The alpha who's always so cold and ruthless actually let that woman live
00:31:52Inside my new room, I sat on the edge of the bed with one shoulder exposed
00:31:56I poured a vial of crystal clear glowing liquid onto the claw wound on my shoulder
00:32:00Unnoticed by me, Damien quietly stepped inside
00:32:03Seeing me with my robe partly loosened, he leaned against the doorframe and watched in silence for a moment
00:32:08The liquid touched the wound
00:32:10The torn flesh immediately began to close
00:32:12Just as I reached to pull my clothes back into place, Damien walked over and pressed down on the hand
00:32:17holding my robe
00:32:18I startled, my heart suddenly tightening
00:32:20Who's there?
00:32:21I turned my head
00:32:22Damien stood before me, an untamed aura of wildness and killing intent radiating from him
00:32:27In an instant, a dagger slid from my sleeve
00:32:30I raised it and pressed the blade against Damien's throat
00:32:33He arched a brow, completely unafraid
00:32:35Instead of retreating, his hand slid along my arm before gripping my chin and lifting my face toward his
00:32:41His gaze lingered between my eyes and my lips
00:32:44Such courage
00:32:46Do you really think you could kill me?
00:32:50Suddenly my body froze
00:32:51I could no longer move
00:32:53The dagger clenched in my hand became encased in frost
00:32:56The thin layer of ice spread quickly before shattering in the fragments
00:32:59Alarm flashed across my eyes
00:33:01Damien lifted me effortlessly and threw me down onto the bed
00:33:05I pushed against his chest in panic, watching him warily
00:33:08What are you doing?
00:33:09Making you fulfill your obligation
00:33:12What?
00:33:13You're going to become my mate
00:33:16Damien leaned down
00:33:17His sharp fangs pierced the side of my neck
00:33:19I grabbed his chest instinctively, trying to push him away
00:33:23At that moment, a snow white mark appeared on my wrist
00:33:25Damien pulled me into a fierce kiss
00:33:32Loud pounding erupted at the door
00:33:36Alpha!
00:33:37The silver moon veda Vincent has forced his way into the palace alone
00:33:40He says he'll die before leaving, unless he sees the luna
00:33:43Then what do you want from me?
00:33:46I don't understand
00:33:51Damien's jaw tightened
00:33:52Gold light flickered beneath his skin
00:33:54Vincent
00:33:55The beta who couldn't protect you
00:33:57He wants to see you now?
00:33:58I didn't speak
00:33:59My heart slammed against my ribs
00:34:01He studied my face
00:34:03And then a cold smile curved his mouth
00:34:05Bring him in
00:34:06Vincent stood surrounded by snow wolves
00:34:08Claws extended, a snarl echoing across the frozen earth
00:34:11His armor was damaged
00:34:12Blood streaked his face
00:34:14But his eyes burned with desperate fury
00:34:15The palace doors opened
00:34:17I appeared beside Damien
00:34:19His hand rested at the small of my back
00:34:21The mark on my wrist glowed faintly
00:34:23Vincent's gaze landed on it
00:34:25No
00:34:26Lydia
00:34:27No
00:34:28You shouldn't have come
00:34:32I came to take you home
00:34:33This is my home now
00:34:35Damien's hand tightened on my waist
00:34:37You heard my moon, goddess
00:34:38She belongs here now
00:34:40To me
00:34:41Vincent's power exploded
00:34:43Amber light burst from his chest
00:34:45Heavy, searing, burning
00:34:46The shift tore through his body
00:34:48His wolf lunged at Damien
00:34:52Damien met him midair
00:34:54Ice erupted from his palms, silver whites, pure
00:34:58The shockwave shattered windows
00:35:04They tore across the courtyard
00:35:05Amber fire against silver ice
00:35:07Vincent's claws gouged through stone
00:35:09Damien's frost froze the air between them
00:35:12Every collision exploded into steam
00:35:15Vincent pinned Damien down
00:35:17His jaws opened, aiming for the throat
00:35:19I moved
00:35:20My sword cleared the sheath
00:35:22Gold rims spiraled along the blade
00:35:24As I whispered the spell my mother taught me
00:35:26Golden fire roared to life
00:35:28I slammed the plot of the blade into Vincent's chest
00:35:30He flew backward
00:35:31Crashing through three ice pillars
00:35:33Amber light flickered
00:35:35Then died
00:35:35I stood over him
00:35:37Fire blazing along my sword
00:35:39Go home Vincent
00:35:40If you come for me again
00:35:42I won't miss
00:35:43He looked up at me
00:35:44Broken
00:35:45Bleeding
00:35:46Finally seeing
00:35:48Then he disappeared into the forest
00:35:50I lowered my sword
00:35:52The fire went out
00:35:53Damien caught me before I could fall
00:35:57I sat alone
00:35:58Staring at the mark on my wrist
00:36:00The bond pulsed beneath my skin like a second heartbeat
00:36:03The door opened
00:36:04Damien walked into view and sat in the chair across from me
00:36:08His posture was relaxed
00:36:09But his eyes tracked every breath I took
00:36:13Why did you let him live?
00:36:15You could have killed him
00:36:18His expression didn't change
00:36:20If I killed him
00:36:22Would you forgive me?
00:36:24I stared at him
00:36:25What does it matter to you whether I forgive you or not?
00:36:28He stood and walked to the window
00:36:29Moonlight caught the silver in his hair
00:36:32You killed a bear with a burning sword
00:36:34You walked into my hall knowing I might kill you and you never begged
00:36:39I wanted you to suffer
00:36:41But then I watched you fight
00:36:43And I realized
00:36:44You're not like them
00:36:46You're not like anyone
00:36:48What are you saying?
00:36:49He crossed the room in three strides and stopped inches from me
00:36:52His hand lifted
00:36:54Fingertips brushing the spot on my neck where the mark rested
00:36:56I'm saying I don't want to kill you Lydia
00:36:59And that terrifies me more than any enemy ever has
00:37:03I didn't sleep
00:37:04Around midnight, a soft scratching came at the window
00:37:07I rose carefully
00:37:08A wolf-toothed talisman hung from a silver chain, swaying in the wind
00:37:12The charm was old
00:37:14Vincent had made it for me when we were children
00:37:16A folded note was tucked beneath it
00:37:18I'll find a way
00:37:20Wait for me
00:37:21V
00:37:21For a moment, I let myself remember
00:37:24The boy who carried me through the poison flower fields
00:37:27The boy who wiped away my tears
00:37:29Then I looked at the mark on my wrist
00:37:31Damien's mark
00:37:32I left the talisman on the windowsill
00:37:35Let the wind take it
00:37:37I found Damien in the great hall, studying maps
00:37:42A faction of Snove want war
00:37:44They've been gathering strength, waiting for the curse to break
00:37:47I studied the map
00:37:51What do you want?
00:37:52I want my people to survive
00:37:54I want to bury the hatred
00:37:56I want you to stay
00:37:59Not as a prisoner
00:38:01As my moon goddess
00:38:03My equal
00:38:04The warriors around us exchanged glances
00:38:06I looked at the mark on my wrist
00:38:09I'll stay
00:38:09But not because you command it
00:38:11The corner of his mouth curved
00:38:13I wouldn't expect anything less
00:38:16Three days passed
00:38:19The silver moon beta has returned
00:38:22He says he won't leave without seeing you
00:38:24I went to the border
00:38:27Vincent stood alone
00:38:28Thinner than before
00:38:29Shadows beneath his eyes
00:38:32You're still here
00:38:34I told you I would be
00:38:35He stepped forward
00:38:37The snow wolf's planking was shifted
00:38:39The girls rumbling
00:38:40He stopped
00:38:41Hands open
00:38:42Empty
00:38:42Unarmed
00:38:43Lydia
00:38:44I know you think I chose Jade
00:38:46That I never loved you
00:38:47But that's not the truth
00:38:49I didn't speak
00:38:51When we were children
00:38:52You were everything to me
00:38:55I would have died for you
00:38:56I almost did
00:38:58Then Jade came
00:38:59I was weak
00:39:01I let her manipulate me
00:39:02But for the past three days
00:39:04I've thought of nothing but you
00:39:05The woman who faced a snow wolf alpha alone
00:39:08The woman who killed a bear with a sword
00:39:11The woman who walked into death to save her pack
00:39:13That wasn't cruelty
00:39:14That was courage
00:39:16And I was too blind to see it
00:39:18What do you want Vincent?
00:39:21I want you to come home
00:39:24I want to marry you Lydia
00:39:28Not Jade
00:39:30Never Jade
00:39:34I looked at his hands
00:39:36I can't
00:39:38Vincent's face went pale
00:39:39What?
00:39:41I made a choice
00:39:42I'm choosing to stay
00:39:44With him?
00:39:46With the man who was going to kill you?
00:39:48He didn't kill me
00:39:50He gave me a choice
00:39:52No one in our pack ever gave me one
00:39:56Lydia, he's using you
00:39:57You think I don't know that?
00:39:59I spent my whole life chasing someone who never saw me
00:40:04I begged my father to let me marry a man who loved my sister
00:40:08I humiliated myself over and over
00:40:10For someone who looked at me with nothing but hate
00:40:13And now for the first time someone sees me
00:40:16Not a princess
00:40:17Not a pawn
00:40:19Someone who killed a bear and walked away
00:40:23I'm not giving this up
00:40:25Not for you
00:40:26Not for anyone
00:40:27He lowered his head
00:40:29Then let me protect you
00:40:32Even if you won't come home
00:40:34You can't protect me Vincent
00:40:37He looked up
00:40:38And I watched the truth finally settle into his bones
00:40:40I walked back alone
00:40:43Damien waited at the edge of the trees
00:40:45He fell in to step beside me
00:40:47After a long silence
00:40:48I would let you go
00:40:50If you chose him
00:40:53I would hate it
00:40:54But I wouldn't stop you
00:40:56Why?
00:40:58He stopped and turned to face me
00:41:00Because watching you leave would be easier
00:41:02Than watching you stay out of obligation
00:41:05He held out his hand
00:41:08I took it
00:41:11Damien took me to a cliff overlooking a hidden city
00:41:14Towers of ice and stone
00:41:15Bridges of silver thread
00:41:16Lights glowing in the windows
00:41:18This was us before the curse
00:41:20Before your ancestors hunted us
00:41:22I gazed down
00:41:24You hid it
00:41:26Because your father would have destroyed it
00:41:29I don't want war Lydia
00:41:32My father wanted war
00:41:33His father too
00:41:36They died with nothing but hatred in their hearts
00:41:38Then don't
00:41:39It's not that simple
00:41:41There are those who will never accept you
00:41:44I know
00:41:45And you'll still face them?
00:41:47I've spent my whole life fighting for people who didn't wanted me
00:41:51At least now I'm fighting for something real
00:41:53He kissed me
00:41:54When we broke apart
00:41:55My sword was between us
00:41:57I hadn't even realized I'd drawn it
00:42:00Still want to kill me?
00:42:02Always
00:42:05Chaos greeted us when we returned
00:42:06Warriors moved through the halls with weapons drawn
00:42:11Eastern outpost was hit
00:42:12Ragnar's wolves
00:42:14They left a message
00:42:15Words written in blood
00:42:16Death to the silver moon war
00:42:18The old ways return
00:42:19Damien's ice war exploded
00:42:21Cross braced across the floor
00:42:23Windows cracked
00:42:25How many dead?
00:42:27Six
00:42:27Two wounded
00:42:29Call the war council
00:42:31Damien was silent for a long time
00:42:33He stared at the map
00:42:35At the northern mountains where Ragnar's camp lay
00:42:37Who is he?
00:42:39An old wolf from my father's generation
00:42:42Never met a silver moon in his life
00:42:44But he's hated them forever
00:42:45He hates you
00:42:47Hates peace
00:42:48Hates any kind of change
00:42:51He wants war
00:42:52He always has
00:42:54Before
00:42:55The curse held him back
00:42:58Now that it's gone
00:42:59The wind outside stopped
00:43:01The snow stopped
00:43:02The whole hall went quiet
00:43:03I looked at the markings on the map
00:43:06Ragnar's camp wasn't far
00:43:07What was he waiting for?
00:43:09Damien didn't speak
00:43:11He just stared out the window at the rising moon
00:43:13The full moon was three days away
00:43:15I knew something was coming
00:43:19Damien came to my room with a wooden box
00:43:21Inside lay a sword
00:43:22A blade white as snow
00:43:23Etched with runes
00:43:24I made this for you
00:43:25It will focus your fire
00:43:26Make it stronger
00:43:27I picked up the sword
00:43:29It was lighter than I expected
00:43:30Perfectly balanced
00:43:31The runes pulsed with warmth
00:43:33Responding to my touch
00:43:34The mate bond broke the curse
00:43:36My people won't die before 25 anymore
00:43:38But the root of the curse remains
00:43:40Like cutting down a tree while the roots stay in the ground
00:43:43If the roots aren't burned
00:43:45It will grow back
00:43:47Tomorrow
00:43:48At the full moon
00:43:49A ritual can be performed to destroy the root completely
00:43:52But it will require you to give up something
00:43:54Memories
00:43:55I can't guarantee what you'll lose
00:43:57You knew this ritual was needed
00:43:59I knew if I told you
00:44:01You might refuse
00:44:02I won't refuse
00:44:04I chose you
00:44:05I chose this path
00:44:07I'll walk it to the end
00:44:10You don't know what you'll lose
00:44:13I know what I've gained
00:44:14I have you
00:44:17He kissed me
00:44:19His hands slid to my back
00:44:20Pulling me close
00:44:22His fingers found the strap of my dress
00:44:25He stopped
00:44:29I pulled the strap down myself
00:44:31He lifted me and laid me on the bed
00:44:34His body covered mine
00:44:36His hands pushing my dress up until nothing was left between us
00:44:39I've wanted this since the night you held a knife to my throat
00:44:42I laughed softly
00:44:44That did it for you?
00:44:45He kissed me
00:44:46Deeper
00:44:47He moved
00:44:49I woke to find Damien already dressed
00:44:52Silhouetted against the pale morning light
00:44:54He came to the bed and cupped my face
00:44:56Whatever the ritual takes from you
00:44:57I'll spend the rest of my life giving back
00:45:00He kissed me again
00:45:01Then rose
00:45:04Wait for me
00:45:05I watched him go
00:45:06The mark on my wrist pulsing warm
00:45:08The full moon rose
00:45:09Stood at the center of the circle
00:45:11Damien's sword strapped to my back
00:45:12Do you come willingly?
00:45:14I do
00:45:18Do you willingly give your blood to break the chains binding the children of snow?
00:45:24I do
00:45:24Do you accept the price?
00:45:27Knowing something will be taken from you?
00:45:29I accept
00:45:31I drew the blade across my palm
00:45:33Silver blood flowed
00:45:34The ice drank it in
00:45:36The force poured for me
00:45:37My mother's face
00:45:38Vincent's smile
00:45:39Eight years of hatred
00:45:41All of it pulled from my bones
00:45:43I screamed
00:45:43Light exploded from my body
00:45:45It spread across the lake
00:45:47Across the valley
00:45:48Across the world
00:45:49Then silence
00:45:49The moon turned gold
00:45:51It is done
00:45:52The priestess whispered
00:45:53The curse
00:45:54A blade drove through her chest from behind
00:45:56She fell
00:45:57Behind her stood a massive wolf
00:45:59Shifting to human form
00:46:00A scarred face
00:46:01Ice cold as the frozen wastes
00:46:03Black frost dripped from his claws
00:46:05Not ice
00:46:06Something wrong
00:46:07Something that made the air crackle was rot
00:46:09Ragnar
00:46:10Did you think we would let you free us?
00:46:12The old ways made us strong
00:46:14Weakness like yours
00:46:16It deserves to die
00:46:18He raised his hand
00:46:19Black frost surged forth
00:46:21Streaked with sickly purple
00:46:22The blast struck Damien in the chest
00:46:25Hurling him through three ice pillars
00:46:26Wherever the frost touched
00:46:28Ice rotted to ash
00:46:29On the distant rages
00:46:30Black light flickered
00:46:32Dozens
00:46:32Hundreds
00:46:33Snow wolves with black frost hurling from their claws
00:46:36Kill her!
00:46:38Kill them all!
00:46:39The traitor's charge
00:46:42I drew Damien's sword
00:46:44The words of power came to my lips
00:46:46Golden fire raced along the blade
00:46:48Blazed in the darkness
00:46:49The cursed spader
00:46:50I met him
00:46:52Golden fire colliding with black frost
00:46:54Steam exploded
00:46:55His frost tried to run my way
00:46:57But my fire turned away
00:46:59Damien rose from the bubble
00:47:01Silver white ice gathering in his palms
00:47:03He fought beside me
00:47:04His ice scattering the black frost head on
00:47:06But there were too many
00:47:08Ragnar appeared before me
00:47:10Black frost driving around him
00:47:11The curse held us back
00:47:13Now that it's gone
00:47:14We can finally become
00:47:16What we were meant to be
00:47:18He thrust both hands forward
00:47:20Black frost exploded toward me
00:47:22I raised my sword
00:47:23Golden fire blazed brighter than ever before
00:47:26The fire raised my frost
00:47:27The frost pushed closer
00:47:29My fire flickered
00:47:30Damien grabbed my hand
00:47:31His ice flowed into the bomb
00:47:33Not biting my fire
00:47:34Beating it
00:47:35Golden fire detonated
00:47:37The blast hurled Ragnar off the cliff
00:47:39His arms scattered
00:47:41They fled
00:47:42I collapsed
00:47:43Damien caught me
00:47:44It's not over
00:47:45He looked at the ridges
00:47:47Where black frost still glowed in the distance
00:47:49No
00:47:50It's not
00:47:52Survivors gathered in the war room
00:47:54Blood stained the ice floors
00:47:55Ragnar has been planning this for months
00:47:59He was waiting for the curse to break
00:48:01Where did he get the black frost?
00:48:04That's not snow wolf magic
00:48:05Before the curse
00:48:06There was something in the north
00:48:08Something ancient
00:48:09Something hungry
00:48:12Our ancestors sealed it away
00:48:14Ragnar found a way to use it
00:48:16He produced a folded ladder
00:48:18Found on one of Ragnar's lieutenants
00:48:20A silver moon seal
00:48:22Already broken
00:48:23I opened it
00:48:24My blood went cold
00:48:25Kill the princess
00:48:26Take the north
00:48:28When the snow wolf army marches south
00:48:30The silver moon court will tear itself apart
00:48:32Trying to stop you
00:48:33The throne will be mine
00:48:35No signature
00:48:36But I knew the handwriting
00:48:37Jade
00:48:38I stood by the window
00:48:40Watching the snow fall
00:48:41Damien found me there
00:48:42Your sister wants you dead
00:48:44She's willing to start a war to make it happen
00:48:47I didn't turn
00:48:48She always wanted what I had
00:48:50She can't have you
00:48:51I turned
00:48:53Damien stood in the doorway
00:48:54His face hard
00:48:55His eyes burning
00:48:56Ragnar holds the pass
00:48:58If we march north
00:49:00Jade attacks from the south
00:49:01If we turn south
00:49:02Ragnar burns everything behind us
00:49:04She's trapped us
00:49:06Damien crossed to me
00:49:08And cupped my face
00:49:09Then we don't play by her rules
00:49:11He pulled out a smaller map
00:49:14The ice fang
00:49:15A hidden pass
00:49:17We can hit Ragnar
00:49:19Before Jade even knows we've moved
00:49:21That's suicide
00:49:22It's the only chance we have
00:49:24Then we go together
00:49:26He kissed me
00:49:29Together
00:49:32The ice fang pass was a forgotten trail
00:49:34Sure ice walls on either side
00:49:35The bottomless dropped below
00:49:37Damien's silver white ice lit the way ahead
00:49:39I stayed close behind him
00:49:41Golden fire from my sword driving back the darkness
00:49:43We marched through the night
00:49:44And cleared the pass by dawn
00:49:46Below
00:49:47Ragnar's army was camped in the valley
00:49:49Thousands of them
00:49:50Black frost rose from their bodies like smoke
00:49:52Shrouding the camp
00:49:53What are they waiting for?
00:49:56Us
00:49:56He knew we'd come
00:49:58I looked at the cliffs flanking the valley
00:50:00It was a trap
00:50:02Then we don't fight his way
00:50:03I pointed to the eastern ridge
00:50:05You open the path
00:50:06Freeze the east cliffs solid
00:50:08I'll take the rear
00:50:09Seal the escape route with fire
00:50:10One push
00:50:11Kill Ragnar and pull out
00:50:13Damien smiled
00:50:14Good
00:50:15He raised his hand
00:50:16Silver white light exploded upward like a flare
00:50:19The campbell erupted into chaos
00:50:21Damien shifted
00:50:22Silver white ice armor encased him
00:50:25Faller than the palace walls
00:50:26He charged down the slope
00:50:28Ice blasting from his feet
00:50:29Flash racing the eastern cliff into a smooth wall
00:50:32The traders who tried to flank
00:50:33Crashed into it and froze solid
00:50:35I followed
00:50:36Golden fire blazing along my head
00:50:37The first wave of traders came at me
00:50:39I swam
00:50:40Fire exploded
00:50:41And they burned to ash
00:50:43A second wave
00:50:44A third
00:50:46Now
00:50:49My sword spun like a moon
00:50:50Screams of golden fire bursting out of every strike
00:50:56Damien carved the path ahead
00:50:57Walls of ice
00:50:58Two of ice
00:50:59Blades of ice
00:51:00Pairing the trait of formation
00:51:01To pieces
00:51:02Then Ragnar appeared
00:51:03He walked out from the heart of the camp
00:51:05Black frost forming armor around him
00:51:07Writhing like something alive
00:51:10Damien
00:51:12You finally came
00:51:14Damien shifted back to him in the form
00:51:16A blade of silver white ice falling in his hand
00:51:19This ends Ragnar
00:51:21Ragnar smiled
00:51:22Black frost exploded from his feet like a tidal wave
00:51:25Sweeping forward
00:51:26Damien raised his hand
00:51:28A wall of ice rose
00:51:29The frost hit the wall
00:51:30But instead of shattering
00:51:32It eroded
00:51:36Your ice can't stop me
00:51:38The power of the north is awake
00:51:41What do you have to fight it with?
00:51:44Damien charged
00:51:44Ragnar sidestepped
00:51:46Black frost forming cross
00:51:47And flashed
00:51:48Damien's ice armor cracked
00:51:49Blood sprayed
00:51:52I lunged
00:51:53My sword swinging for Ragnar's neck
00:51:55He raised an arm to block
00:51:56Black frost meeting golden fire
00:51:58Steam exploding
00:51:59His power was too strong
00:52:01My fire was being pushed back
00:52:03Frost forming on my blade
00:52:04Damien attacked from the side
00:52:06His ice blade piercing Ragnar's shoulder
00:52:08Ragnar lured
00:52:09Black frost hit me
00:52:10I hit the ice wall
00:52:13Blood filling my mouth
00:52:14Damien crashed to the ground
00:52:16Half his ice armor shattered
00:52:17Ragnar stood in the center of the battlefield
00:52:19Black frost swirling around him
00:52:21This is your resistance
00:52:24I cannot be killed
00:52:26He gathered black frost between his palms
00:52:29Forming a sphere that grew larger and darker
00:52:31The air froze
00:52:32The ground cracked
00:52:34Damien threw himself in front of me
00:52:36While the ice rose layer after layer
00:52:38The black frost hit the first wall
00:52:40And corroded it
00:52:41The second
00:52:41The third
00:52:42All the last
00:52:43Run!
00:52:44I didn't run
00:52:45I drove my sword into the ground
00:52:47Bit my tongue
00:52:48And painted my blood across the blade
00:52:50Gold runes flared
00:52:51Not gold
00:52:52But white gold
00:52:53The color of the sun
00:52:54My mother had taught me this spell
00:52:56She said never to use it
00:52:57Because after
00:52:58Your power would be drained for a long time
00:53:00Maybe forever
00:53:02I used it
00:53:03Golden fire erupted from the blade
00:53:05Blasting upward
00:53:06Carrying the golden clouds
00:53:08Sunlight poured down
00:53:09Striking the black frost
00:53:10The frost halted
00:53:12Trembling in the light
00:53:13Damien lunged to me
00:53:15Pressing his palm against my back
00:53:17Silverlight ice
00:53:18Flashing the golden fire
00:53:19Shooting up a column of light into the sky
00:53:21And crashing back down onto Ragnar's earth
00:53:23The earth shook
00:53:24Traitors froze
00:53:25Burned
00:53:26Were swallowed by light
00:53:27Ragnar's frost sphere detonated
00:53:29The shockwave peered him to the ground
00:53:31Black frost peeling away from his body
00:53:33Like a shedding snake
00:53:34I collapsed to my knees
00:53:35My fire dying
00:53:36The runes went dark
00:53:38My body felt hollowed out
00:53:39Every ounce of strength gone
00:53:41Damien caught me
00:53:42Lydia
00:53:43I'm okay
00:53:44Just nothing left
00:53:49Ragnar pulled himself up
00:53:51His frost was shattered
00:53:52But he still had claws
00:53:54Still had fangs
00:53:55He shifted to the massive black wolf
00:53:57Eyes like twin voids
00:53:58He charged at us
00:54:00Damien stepped in front of me
00:54:01His ice beard was gone
00:54:03His power was spent
00:54:05But he didn't retreat
00:54:06Run
00:54:07I didn't run
00:54:09I couldn't stand
00:54:10But I gripped my sword and knelt in the snow
00:54:12Watching Ragnar's black wolf bear down on us
00:54:15His cross spread
00:54:16Black frost dripping between them like drool
00:54:18A shadow slammed into him from the side
00:54:20Vincent
00:54:21He shifted in the dare
00:54:22His body speaking low
00:54:24Black frost tore across his back
00:54:26Blood exploded
00:54:27Spraying across my face
00:54:29He landed in front of me
00:54:30On his knees
00:54:31Between me and Ragnar
00:54:34Go!
00:54:35I bit my tongue and spat blood into my palm
00:54:37Gold rooms flickered
00:54:39Weak
00:54:39Dying
00:54:40Vincent's amber light surged into me
00:54:42Merging with my fire
00:54:43Just enough to hold
00:54:44Vincent rose
00:54:45Using the sword
00:54:46A column of light shot her
00:54:48Straight from the black wolf
00:54:50The black wolf burned to ash
00:54:53Vincent stood where he was
00:54:55His sword slipped from his hand
00:54:57Blood still poured from his back
00:54:59He turned and looked at me
00:55:00Then he fell
00:55:02I kneeling at his side
00:55:03Vincent!
00:55:05His eyes opened
00:55:06Gold faded
00:55:07Lydia
00:55:09Can I have another chance?
00:55:11I froze
00:55:12I know I was wrong
00:55:14I trusted the wrong person
00:55:16I hurt you
00:55:17But I would change
00:55:18Give me one chance
00:55:20I looked at him
00:55:22Blood soaked his back
00:55:23His eyes were fading
00:55:25You saved me
00:55:27Thank you
00:55:29Then
00:55:31But I can't go back
00:55:32His smile faltered
00:55:34I let it go, Vincent
00:55:36I remember what we had as children
00:55:39I remember you saved me
00:55:41His eyes dimmed
00:55:42But that's in the past
00:55:43I don't hate you
00:55:44But the one I love is him
00:55:47Then he smiled
00:55:48Not bitter
00:55:49Not pleading
00:55:50Accepting
00:55:51That's good
00:55:53As long as you don't hate me
00:55:55His eyes closed
00:55:56His chest was still moving
00:55:58Barely
00:55:58But still moving
00:55:59Damien crouched beside us
00:56:02He's alive
00:56:03He needs healing
00:56:04Warriors ran over
00:56:05Lifting him
00:56:06Carrying him away
00:56:07I pushed myself up
00:56:08With my sword
00:56:09My whole body shook
00:56:11I could barely stand
00:56:12On the ridge
00:56:13Stood a single figure
00:56:14Jade
00:56:17She walked down
00:56:18Dull gold light
00:56:20Gathered in her palm
00:56:20But it wasn't just light
00:56:22Black lines crawled up
00:56:23From her fingers
00:56:24Like cracks
00:56:24Like burn veins
00:56:25Spreading to her wrist
00:56:26The power was consuming her
00:56:28Here you are
00:56:30She lunged
00:56:31A blade of dull gold light
00:56:33I raised my sword to block
00:56:35Impact driving me back
00:56:37A second strike
00:56:38Grazed my shoulder
00:56:39Blood welling
00:56:40A third sent my sword
00:56:41Flying from my grip
00:56:42She stood over me
00:56:44Her light blade
00:56:45Against my throat
00:56:46Black lines had reached
00:56:47Her forearms now
00:56:48Like vines
00:56:49Like a curse
00:56:50Kill me
00:56:51Her hand trembled
00:56:52The light blade flickered
00:56:54Black lines spread
00:56:55Damien charged toward us
00:56:56He had no sword
00:56:58No ice blade left
00:56:59His power spent
00:57:00But he ran
00:57:01Putting himself
00:57:02Between me and Jade
00:57:03Jade's light blade
00:57:04Stopped an inch
00:57:05From his chest
00:57:06Move
00:57:06No
00:57:07I'll kill you
00:57:08Do it
00:57:09Jade stared at him
00:57:10His eyes didn't blink
00:57:12He just stood there
00:57:13His chest against her blade
00:57:14You're protecting her too
00:57:16Yes
00:57:17You've known her for days
00:57:18Long enough
00:57:19Jade's hands trembled
00:57:20Black lines had reached her elbows
00:57:22She looked down at her arms
00:57:24At the cracks spreading
00:57:25Beneath her skin
00:57:26It's eating me
00:57:29She looked toward where Vincent
00:57:30Had been carried away
00:57:31Blood still stained the ground
00:57:33He'd almost died
00:57:34For me
00:57:36He protected her too
00:57:37Everyone protects her
00:57:39She looked at her hands
00:57:41Black lines had reached her shoulders
00:57:43She'd chosen this path
00:57:45She'd chosen Ragnar
00:57:47Chosen the dark
00:57:48Chosen the hatred
00:57:49Chosen everything that would destroy her
00:57:52In the end
00:57:53She'd gotten nothing
00:57:54She let her light blade go
00:57:57I lose
00:57:58The black cracks suddenly burst open
00:58:00Not cracks
00:58:02Fire
00:58:02Dull gold fire burned out
00:58:04From beneath her skin
00:58:05Through her sleeves
00:58:06Through her cloak
00:58:07Her whole body was like a candle
00:58:09Burning from the inside out
00:58:10She didn't scream
00:58:12She stood there
00:58:13Watching her hands burn
00:58:14Lydia
00:58:16What?
00:58:18Do you hate me?
00:58:21No
00:58:21She smiled
00:58:23I don't hate you either
00:58:25Fire reached her shoulders
00:58:26Her face
00:58:27Like she was finally letting out everything she did in her full life
00:58:30Flames swallowed her
00:58:31Dull gold fire burned her to ash
00:58:33And the ash scattered on the wind
00:58:35Settling over the snow
00:58:36Where she'd stood
00:58:37There was only a black scorch mark
00:58:40The wedding took place on the full moon
00:58:42The whole city came
00:58:43Snow wolves and silver moon stood together
00:58:46For the first time
00:58:47I walked through the crowd in a white dress
00:58:49Its runes still pulsing
00:58:51Damien waited at the altar
00:58:53White clothes
00:58:54His hair loose
00:58:55His eyes brighter than the moon
00:58:56The priestess raised her staff
00:58:58Do you come willingly?
00:59:00Yes
00:59:00Damien took my hands
00:59:02I was raised to hate you
00:59:04But then I met you
00:59:06You're not a monster
00:59:08You're the bravest
00:59:10Strongest person I've ever known
00:59:12I'll love you
00:59:14For the rest of my life
00:59:16I squeezed his hands
00:59:17I spent my whole life chasing love
00:59:19I thought something was wrong with me
00:59:23But when I came here
00:59:24You didn't want me to chase
00:59:26You wanted me to stand beside you
00:59:29To fight
00:59:30To choose you
00:59:31So I choose you
00:59:33Because you're the first person who ever truly saw me
00:59:36The priestess raised her staff
00:59:39Then let it be done
00:59:41Damien pressed his forehead to mine
00:59:43Power surged between us
00:59:44Silver white ice and golden fire
00:59:46Becoming one
00:59:47The crowd erupted
00:59:48I kissed my husband
00:59:52Until death
00:59:53Not even after
00:59:5650 years later
00:59:57The moon rose
00:59:59As full as the night he married me
01:00:00I stood by the lake
01:00:02The wind carrying the scent of snow
01:00:03I was old now
01:00:05Could barely walk
01:00:06Three years ago
01:00:07Damien had gone in his sleep
01:00:09His hands still in mine
01:00:10You always did like the quiet
01:00:12I turned
01:00:13Vincent stood a few steps away
01:00:15His hair white
01:00:16His back bent
01:00:17But his eyes hadn't changed
01:00:19Still gold
01:00:20What are you doing here?
01:00:23Heard he passed
01:00:24Came to see how you were
01:00:25We stood side by side
01:00:27Neither speaking
01:00:28The lake was still
01:00:30The moon shattered across it
01:00:31Was he good to see how you were
01:00:34Was he good to you?
01:00:3450 years
01:00:36Every day
01:00:38That's good
01:00:42I should go
01:00:43Yes
01:00:44He turned
01:00:45Took a few steps
01:00:46Then stopped
01:00:47Lydia
01:00:48What?
01:00:50Next life
01:00:51I won't choose wrong
01:00:53He didn't look back
01:00:54He walked into the night
01:00:55I stood by the lake
01:00:57Watching the moon
01:00:58Its reflection on the water
01:01:00Was the same as 50 years ago
01:01:01I remembered the wedding day
01:01:03Damien said until death
01:01:05I said not even after
01:01:06The lake was still
01:01:08I looked down at the wolf tooth talisman in my hand
01:01:10And set it on a stone by the water
01:01:17I closed my eyes
01:01:19I closed my eyes
01:01:19Touched
01:01:19Now
01:01:19The lake
01:01:19The lake
01:01:20The lake
01:01:20Vielen Dank.
