00:00:10To be continued...

00:00:30I would become his Luna, the queen of all werewolves.

00:00:32But my biological mother, Hera, the most revered high priestess of the Temple of Light, publicly declared,

00:00:40Last night, she seduced Karen, the Shadow Pletha clan's holy knight, and her sister Elena's fiancée.

00:00:47The crowd instantly erupted.

00:00:49I knew those silver eyes were filthy.

00:00:52She actually dared to betray the Alpha King?

00:00:55Drive her out of the Silvermoon pack!

00:00:57A chill spread through my entire body as I stared at my mother.

00:01:04What are you talking about?

00:01:06Last night, she had personally handed me a cup of blessed potion.

00:01:11She had smiled and said,

00:01:13Drink this, and the Moon Goddess will bless you and Ryan with a bond that can never be broken.

00:01:18But when I woke up, the man lying beside me wasn't Ryan.

00:01:22It was at Karen.

00:01:24Both of us had been drugged.

00:01:25I wanted to explain, but Karen had already thrown on his cloak.

00:01:28His eyes were filled with nothing but disgust.

00:01:32Selina, I've never met a woman as shameless as you.

00:01:34You'd even go after your own sister's fiancée!

00:01:36Then Karen staggered backward until he reached Elena's side.

00:01:40His eyes were red as he looked at her.

00:01:43I've been tainted.

00:01:45You're so pure.

00:01:47I no longer deserve to marry you.

00:01:50Below the altar, Ryan stood motionless.

00:01:53He had once told me that even if the entire world despised my silver eyes,

00:01:57he would still marry me.

00:02:00But now, the way he looked at me was no different from looking at something filthy.

00:02:06I rushed down from the altar and grabbed his hand.

00:02:10Ryan, someone set me up.

00:02:11There was something wrong with that potion.

00:02:13It was Mother!

00:02:14Enough!

00:02:16He shook me off, his voice horsey.

00:02:20Selina and I used to think you were just unlucky.

00:02:23Now I realize you genuinely disgust me.

00:02:30I froze where I stood.

00:02:34Elena burst into tears and buried herself in our mother's arms.

00:02:37She had a pair of noble golden eyes.

00:02:40Pale, delicate, and fragile.

00:02:42She looked like the most innocent, sainty continent.

00:02:45Sister, I know you've always been jealous of me, but Karen is my fiancée.

00:02:49My mother gently wiped away her tears before walking over to me.

00:02:52Then, with her own hands, she removed the silver moon crest pinned to my chest.

00:02:56It was the symbol of a wolf bride's status.

00:02:58And in all fifteen years of my life, it was the only thing that had ever truly acknowledged my existence.

00:03:03I stared at her.

00:03:05Why?

00:03:05She leaned close to my ear, her voice so low that only I could hear it.

00:03:10Because Elena is far more suitable to be Luna.

00:03:14She has golden eyes.

00:03:16You're nothing but a stain.

00:03:19In that moment, I finally understood.

00:03:23This wasn't an accident.

00:03:25It wasn't a misunderstanding.

00:03:26It was a trap they had prepared long ago.

00:03:29That moment, Elena suddenly wiped away her tears and stepped forward.

00:03:32The position of Luna of the silver moon wolf pack cannot remain vacant.

00:03:36It would only make us the laughingstock of everyone.

00:03:38Since my sister committed such a disgraceful offense, let me atone for her sins in her place.

00:03:42Ryan, if you're willing, I can complete this blood oath in my sister's stead.

00:03:47Ryan turned around and placed the blood crown, the symbol of the queen, upon Elena's head.

00:03:52The entire hall erupted in cheers.

00:03:55My sister wore my wedding gown, held my Grimm's hand, and stood in the place that should have been mine.

00:04:01And I was publicly sentenced by my own mother.

00:04:04At Selena, silver eyes has defiled the blood oath.

00:04:06Strip her of the wolf crest and exiled her to the forbidden rift.

00:04:09She shall never return.

00:04:10As the temple knights dragged me down from the altar, Elinina glanced at me.

00:04:13Tears still lingoned on her face, but the corners of her lips slowly curled forward.

00:04:19Fifteen years later, at the inheritance bankery of the Sacred Dominion Conforge,

00:04:23nables and power holders from all twelve clans gathered withneath one roof.

00:04:26They knelt before my dragonbone throne, competing to present moon-tear crystal mines,

00:04:30territorial deeds, and bloodline oves as tribute.

00:04:33None of them knew that the Empress of the Sacred Dominion,

00:04:36the woman who controlled eighty percent of the continent's moon-tear crystal mines,

00:04:42was the same silver-eyed outcast they had once trampled into the mud.

00:04:47Until my adopted son,

00:04:50Kyaris,

00:04:51walked into the Grand Hall holding a young woman's hand.

00:04:54She wore a silver-white formal gown.

00:04:57Her golden eyes shunned brightly,

00:04:58and pride radiated from her face.

00:05:01Her name was Ivy,

00:05:03Elinina's daughter,

00:05:04and she bore the exact same face her mother had fifteen years ago.

00:05:07Kaio stopped before me,

00:05:08his tone unwavering.

00:05:09Mother,

00:05:10Ivy will become my blood oath mate.

00:05:12If you approve,

00:05:13we'll announce our engagement tonight.

00:05:14Every guest in the hall held their breath.

00:05:17Ivy lifted her chin slightly,

00:05:19waiting for me to bestow that honor upon her.

00:05:21She was the golden-eyed St. Chris of the Silvermoon Wolfpack,

00:05:25Ryan's most cherished daughter and Hera's favorite granddaughter.

00:05:28She was used to people lowering their heads the moment they saw her.

00:05:32But she had forgotten one thing.

00:05:33This was not the Silvermoon Wolfpack.

00:05:36This was the sacred dominion come forth.

00:05:38This was the throne I had clawed my way towards for fifteen years,

00:05:42inch by inch,

00:05:44through the bones and corpses of the forbidden rift.

00:05:47I looked at that face and remembered the wedding gown that had been torn apart fifteen years ago.

00:05:52I remembered the poison my mother had handed me.

00:05:54I remembered the cold look in Ryan's eyes.

00:05:56Then I set down my wine glass.

00:05:58The bass struck the dragon bone armrest.

00:06:00The sound was not loud,

00:06:02yet the entire hall fell silence in an instant.

00:06:04I do not approve.

00:06:05I said,

00:06:06Kairos froze.

00:06:07Mother?

00:06:08The smile on Ivy's face stiffened.

00:06:11I raised my eyes to her.

00:06:12You will never become the mate of the sacred dominion's heir,

00:06:14not in this lifetime.

00:06:16The crowd instantly exploded into an uproar.

00:06:19Ivy's eyes reddened at once.

00:06:21Why?

00:06:21What makes me unworthy?

00:06:24I looked at her and smiled.

00:06:26Because the thing your mother stole fifteen years ago

00:06:29is finally going to be returned today.

00:06:33Ivy's face went completely pale.

00:06:36Kairos stepped in front of her,

00:06:37his brows drawn tightly together.

00:06:39Mother,

00:06:40Ivy didn't do anything wrong.

00:06:41The grudges of the previous generation shouldn't fall on her shoulders.

00:06:45I looked at him.

00:06:46Do you even know what happened fifteen years ago?

00:06:48Ivy spoke before he-

00:06:50My mother told me everything.

00:06:51Fifteen years ago,

00:06:52you betrayed Alpha King Ryan

00:06:54and seduced Karen,

00:06:55my mother's fiancée.

00:06:56You were exiled because you committed a crime.

00:06:58She bit her lip,

00:06:59looking as though I were the one bullying her.

00:07:01But my mother always defended you.

00:07:03She said you were just too jealous of her.

00:07:06Muted whispers spread throughout the hall.

00:07:09Some of the older nobles lowered their heads.

00:07:12Back then,

00:07:12they had all stood with you at the moon goddess's altar.

00:07:15They had watched my wedding gown in being torn apart,

00:07:17and they had watched Elena put on my bridal dress.

00:07:20They knew about that scant,

00:07:21but they had never cared about the truth,

00:07:23because the stories written by the victors were always clean and respectable.

00:07:27Before I could speak,

00:07:28the doors of the hall were suddenly pushed open.

00:07:30Ivy wasn't wrong.

00:07:32Everyone turned around.

00:07:33Elena had arrived.

00:07:34Fifteen years had passed,

00:07:35yet she was still breathtakingly beautiful in that fragile way of hers.

00:07:39Her golden hair was pinned up behind her head,

00:07:41and the royal crest of the silver moon wolf pack's luna was embroidered on her white cloak.

00:07:45Behind her stood Alpha King Ryan,

00:07:46and Karen the holy knight of the shadow leopard clan,

00:07:49every person who had destroyed my life fifteen years ago had finally appeared before me once again.

00:07:55Elena's eyes stiffened for a certain second the moment she saw me.

00:07:58Sister,

00:08:00I never imagined the Empress of the Sacred Dominion would turn out to be you.

00:08:05She called me sister,

00:08:07but her tone sounded more like a reminder to everyone present,

00:08:11that I had once been nothing more than the filthy, silver-eyed outcast of the silver moon wolf pack.

00:08:18Caius frowned.

00:08:19Mother,

00:08:20you know them?

00:08:21I didn't answer.

00:08:23Ryan stepped forward.

00:08:24He still carried the same arrogance of an Alpha King,

00:08:27though the sharpness in his golden eyes was no longer what it had been.

00:08:31He looked at me and remained silent for a long moment.

00:08:36Selena.

00:08:40Hearing that name come from his lips almost made me laugh.

00:08:44Fifteen years ago, he had used that name when he told me he loved me.

00:08:47Later, he had used the same voice to say that I disgusted him.

00:08:50And now he wanted to use that name again, pretending there were still unresolved feelings between us.

00:08:55I spoke calmly.

00:08:57Your Majesty,

00:08:58this is a private banquet of the Sacred Dominion Consortium.

00:09:02You were not invited.

00:09:10Sister,

00:09:10if you're angry with me,

00:09:12then take it out on me.

00:09:14Why make things difficult for Ivy?

00:09:17She simply fell in love with Kairus.

00:09:20How interesting.

00:09:22I looked at her.

00:09:24Fifteen years ago,

00:09:25you also claimed that you had simply fallen in love with Ryan.

00:09:29Karen suddenly spoke.

00:09:31His voice called.

00:09:32Selena,

00:09:33what happened back then is already in the past.

00:09:35I turned to him.

00:09:37Of course it is.

00:09:38For you.

00:09:39After you woke up,

00:09:40all you had to do was call me shameless.

00:09:43But I had to spend fifteen years in the Forbibbon Rift,

00:09:46carrying the crime you all forced onto me.

00:09:49Karen's throat barbed.

00:09:50There was something complicated in his eyes.

00:09:53Pain,

00:09:53conflict,

00:09:54and a belated trace of doubt.

00:09:56But I didn't need it.

00:09:58Belated doubt was just like belated love.

00:10:00Both were worthless.

00:10:02Ryan took a deep breath.

00:10:04We didn't come here today to dig up the past.

00:10:07Ivy and Kai-itis love each other.

00:10:09An alliance between our two clans would benefit the Sacred Dimension as well.

00:10:14Selena,

00:10:15don't let personal grudges interfere with the bigger picture.

00:10:17I gently set down my wine glass.

00:10:20You're lecturing me about the bigger picture?

00:10:22Ryan frowned.

00:10:23I lifted a hand,

00:10:25and the attendant behind me unfurled a black and gold contract scroll.

00:10:28It was covered with the markings of moon-tier crystal veins.

00:10:32My voice wasn't loud.

00:10:33Everyone heard it clearly.

00:10:35The Sacred Dominion Commodum controls 80% of the continent's moon-tier crystal mines.

00:10:39Last year,

00:10:4070% of the Silvermoon Wolfpack's military supplies, potions,

00:10:43and room array maintenance came from Sacred Dominion resources.

00:10:48Ryan,

00:10:49you're standing on my territory,

00:10:51living off my mines,

00:10:53and still expecting me to prioritize your bigger picture.

00:11:03Ryan's expression instantly dartened.

00:11:05For the first time,

00:11:06panic flashed across Dot Ivy's face.

00:11:08She grabbed Kai-os' hand.

00:11:10Kai-os,

00:11:11say something!

00:11:12Mother,

00:11:12do you really have to do this?

00:11:14Kai-os looked at me,

00:11:15and for the first time,

00:11:16there was anger in his eyes.

00:11:18Do what?

00:11:20I asked.

00:11:21Expose the truth in front of everyone?

00:11:24Or refuse to hand over the life's work I've built to my enemy's daughter?

00:11:28Kai-os lowered his voice.

00:11:31Ivy isn't her mother.

00:11:33Neither are you me.

00:11:34You don't have the right to forgive them on my behalf.

00:11:37I fixed my gaze on him.

00:11:38The moment those words left my mouth,

00:11:40the last trace of hesitation vanished from Kai-os' face.

00:11:42He took Ivy's hand and turned to face the guests.

00:11:45If Mother refuses to give us her blessing,

00:11:46then I'll make the announcement myself!

00:11:48I, Kai-os,

00:11:49as the heir of the sacred Dimangin,

00:11:50choose Ivy as my blood oath mate.

00:11:52From this night forward,

00:11:53anyone who humiliates her becomes my enemy.

00:11:55The entire hall fell silent.

00:11:56A flash of triumph crossed Elena's eyes.

00:11:58Even Ryan slowly looked pleased.

00:12:00Kai-os, I knew you wouldn't abandon me!

00:12:01Crying,

00:12:02Ivy threw herself into Kai-os' arms.

00:12:04I watched them and suddenly felt tired.

00:12:06Not heartbroken,

00:12:07just tired of it all.

00:12:09I raised my hand.

00:12:11Bring me the blood oath scroll.

00:12:12Hope lit up in At-Kai-os' eyes.

00:12:15Mother, you agree?

00:12:16I smiled.

00:12:18Of course.

00:12:19Before Ivy could even breathe a sigh of relief,

00:12:21I finished the sentence.

00:12:22I agree to sever the blood oath between us as mother and son.

00:12:26The smile on Kai-os' face frozen.

00:12:28What did you say?

00:12:29An attendant brought over a black parchment scroll.

00:12:32It was no ordinary contract.

00:12:35Someone recognized it,

00:12:36their voice trembling.

00:12:40The soul-severation blood oath.

00:12:42Once it's signed,

00:12:43blood ties,

00:12:44inheritance rights,

00:12:45and family protection

00:12:45are all permanently cut off.

00:13:00On the day of my wedding,

00:13:01my mother tore my wedding gown apart

00:13:03in front of every noble present.

00:13:05Raising the moon goddess Seppler high,

00:13:07she brought it crashing down toward me,

00:13:09sending me sprawling across the ground.

00:13:12Selina is not worthy of becoming the new Alpha King's bride.

00:13:16A deathly silence fell over the hall.

00:13:18I was the rejected silver-eyed daughter of the Silvermoon Wolfpack.

00:13:21Today,

00:13:21as long as I completed the blood oath with the newly crowned Alpha King Ryan,

00:13:25I would become his Luna,

00:13:26the queen of all werewolves.

00:13:28But my biological mother,

00:13:30Hera,

00:13:30the most revered high priestess of the Temple of Light,

00:13:34publicly declared,

00:13:35Last night,

00:13:36she seduced Karen,

00:13:38the Shadow Pletha clan's holy knight,

00:13:40and her sister Elena's fiancée.

00:13:43The crowd instantly erupted.

00:13:45I knew those silver eyes were filthy.

00:13:47She actually dared to betray the Alpha King?

00:13:50Drive her out of the Silvermoon Pack!

00:13:53A chill spread through my entire body as I stared at my mother.

00:13:59What are you talking about?

00:14:02Last night,

00:14:03she had personally handed me a cup of blessed potion.

00:14:06She had smiled and said,

00:14:08Drink this,

00:14:09and the moon goddess will bless you and Ryan with a bond that can never be broken.

00:14:14But when I woke up,

00:14:15the man lying beside me wasn't Ryan.

00:14:18It was at Karen.

00:14:19Both of us had been drugged.

00:14:20I wanted to explain,

00:14:21but Karen had already thrown on his cloak.

00:14:24His eyes were filled with nothing but disgust.

00:14:27Selina,

00:14:28I've never met a woman as shameless as you.

00:14:29You'd even go after your own sister's fiancée!

00:14:31Then Karen staggered backward until he reached Elena's side.

00:14:35His eyes were red as he looked at her.

00:14:38I've been tainted.

00:14:40You're so pure.

00:14:43I no longer deserve to marry you.

00:14:45Below the altar,

00:14:47Ryan stood motionless.

00:14:48He had once told me that even if the entire world despised my silver eyes,

00:14:53he would still marry me.

00:14:55But now,

00:14:56the way he looked at me

00:14:57was no different from looking at something filthy.

00:15:01I rushed down from the altar and grabbed his hand.

00:15:04Ryan,

00:15:05someone set me up.

00:15:07There was something wrong with that potion.

00:15:09It was Mother!

00:15:10Enough!

00:15:11He shook me off,

00:15:13his voice horsey.

00:15:15Selina and I used to think you were just unlucky.

00:15:18Now I realize,

00:15:20you genuinely disgust me.

00:15:25I froze where I stood.

00:15:29Elena burst into tears and buried herself in our mother's arms.

00:15:33She had a pair of noble golden eyes.

00:15:35Pale,

00:15:36delicate,

00:15:36and fragile.

00:15:37She looked like the most innocent,

00:15:39sainty continent.

00:15:40Sister,

00:15:41I know you've always been jealous of me,

00:15:43but Karen is my fiancé.

00:15:44My mother gently wiped away her tears before walking over to me.

00:15:47Then,

00:15:48with her own hands,

00:15:49she removed the silver moon crest pinned to my chest.

00:15:51It was the symbol of a wolf bride's status,

00:15:53and in all fifteen years of my life,

00:15:55it was the only thing that had ever truly acknowledged my existence.

00:15:58I stared at her.

00:16:00Why?

00:16:00She leaned close to my ear,

00:16:02her voice so low that only I could hear it.

00:16:05Because Elena is far more suitable to be Luna.

00:16:09She has golden eyes.

00:16:11You're nothing but a stain.

00:16:15In that moment,

00:16:16I finally understood.

00:16:18This wasn't an accident.

00:16:20It wasn't a misunderstanding.

00:16:22It was a trap they had prepared long ago.

00:16:24That moment,

00:16:25Elena suddenly wiped away her tears and stepped forward.

00:16:27Position of Luna of the silver moon wolf pack cannot remain vacant.

00:16:31It would only make us the laughing stock of everyone.

00:16:33Since my sister committed such a disgraceful offense,

00:16:36let me atone for her sins in her place.

00:16:38Ryan,

00:16:38if you're willing,

00:16:39I can complete this blood oath in my sister's stead.

00:16:41Ryan turned around and placed the blood crown,

00:16:44the symbol of the queen,

00:16:46upon Elena's head.

00:16:47The entire hall erupted in cheers.

00:16:50My sister wore my wedding gown,

00:16:53held my Grimm's hand,

00:16:54and stood in the place that should have been mine.

00:16:57And I was publicly sentenced by my own mother.

00:16:59At Selena,

00:16:59silver eyes has defiled the blood oath.

00:17:01Strip her of the wolf crest and exiled her to the forbidden rift.

00:17:04She shall never return.

00:17:05As the temple knights dragged me down from the altar,

00:17:07Elena glanced at me,

00:17:08tears still lingued on her face,

00:17:10but the corners of her lips slowly curled forward.

00:17:14Fifteen years later,

00:17:15at the inheritance bankry of the Sacred Dominion Conforge,

00:17:18navels and power holders from all twelve clans gathered withneath one roof.

00:17:21They knelt before my dragonbone throne,

00:17:23competing to present moon tear crystal mines,

00:17:26territorial deeds,

00:17:27and bloodline oves as tribute.

00:17:28None of them knew that the empress of the Sacred Dominion,

00:17:31the woman who controlled eighty percent of the continent's moon tear crystal mines,

00:17:37was the same silver-eyed outcasts they had once trampled into the mud.

00:17:43Until my adopted son,

00:17:45Kyaris,

00:17:46walked into the Grand Hall holding a young woman's hand.

00:17:49She wore a silver-white formal gown.

00:17:52Her golden eyes shunned brightly,

00:17:54and pride radiated from her face.

00:17:57Her name was Ivy,

00:17:58Elena's daughter,

00:17:59and she bore the exact same face her mother had fifteen years ago.

00:18:02Kaio stopped before me,

00:18:03his tone unwavering.

00:18:05Mother,

00:18:05Ivy will become my blood oath mate.

00:18:07If you approve,

00:18:08we'll announce our engagement tonight.

00:18:10Every guest in the hall held their breath.

00:18:12Ivy lifted her chin slightly,

00:18:14waiting for me to bestow that honor upon her.

00:18:17She was the golden-eyed Saint Chris of the Silvermoon Wolfpack,

00:18:20Ryan's most cherished daughter and Hera's favorite granddaughter.

00:18:23She was used to people lowering their heads the moment they saw her,

00:18:27but she had forgotten one thing.

00:18:29This was not the Silvermoon Wolfpack.

00:18:31This was the sacred dominion from Forth.

00:18:33This was the throne I had clawed my way towards for fifteen years.

00:18:37Inch by inch,

00:18:39through the bones and corpses of the forbidden rift.

00:18:42I looked at that face and remembered the wedding gown

00:18:45that had been torn apart fifteen years ago.

00:18:47I remembered the poison my mother had handed me.

00:18:49I remembered the cold look in Ryan's eyes.

00:18:52Then I set down my wine glass.

00:18:54The bass struck the dragonbone armrest.

00:18:56The sound was not loud,

00:18:57yet the entire hall fell silence in an instant.

00:18:59I do not approve.

00:19:01I said,

00:19:02Kairos froze.

00:19:03Mother?

00:19:04The smile on Ivy's face stiffened.

00:19:06I raised my eyes to her.

00:19:07You will never become the mate of the sacred dominion's heir.

00:19:10Not in this lifetime.

00:19:11The crowd instantly exploded into an uproar.

00:19:14Ivy's eyes reddened at once.

00:19:16Why?

00:19:17What makes me unworthy?

00:19:20I looked at her and smiled.

00:19:22Because the thing your mother stole fifteen years ago

00:19:24is finally going to be returned today.

00:19:29Ivy's face went completely pale.

00:19:31Kairos stepped in front of her,

00:19:32his brows drawn tightly together.

00:19:34Mother,

00:19:35Ivy didn't do anything wrong.

00:19:37The grudges of the previous generation

00:19:38shouldn't fall on her shoulders.

00:19:40I looked at him.

00:19:41Do you even know what happened fifteen years ago?

00:19:44Ivy spoke before he-

00:19:45My mother told me everything!

00:19:47Fifteen years ago,

00:19:48you betrayed Alpha King Ryan

00:19:49and seduced Karen,

00:19:50my mother's fiancée.

00:19:51You were exiled because you committed a crime!

00:19:53She bit her lip,

00:19:54looking as though I were the one bullying her.

00:19:56But my mother always defended you.

00:19:58She said you were just too jealous of her.

00:20:02Muted whispers spread throughout the hall.

00:20:04Some of the older nobles lowered their heads.

00:20:07Back then,

00:20:08they had all stood

00:20:08with the moon goddess's altar.

00:20:10They had watched my wedding gown

00:20:11in being torn apart,

00:20:12and they had watched Elena

00:20:13put on my bridal dress.

00:20:15They knew about that scant,

00:20:16but they had never cared about the truth,

00:20:18because the stories written by the victors

00:20:20were always clean and respectable.

00:20:22Before I could speak,

00:20:23the doors of the hall

00:20:24were suddenly pushed open.

00:20:25Ivy wasn't wrong.

00:20:27Everyone turned around.

00:20:28Elena had arrived.

00:20:29Fifteen years had passed,

00:20:31yet she was still

00:20:31breathtakingly beautiful

00:20:32in that fragile way of hers.

00:20:34Her golden hair

00:20:35was pinned up behind her head,

00:20:36and the royal crest

00:20:37of the silver moon wolf pack's luna

00:20:38was embroidered on her white cloak.

00:20:40Behind her stood Alpha King Ryan,

00:20:42and Karen,

00:20:43the holy knight of the shadow leopard clan.

00:20:45Every person who had destroyed my life

00:20:46fifteen years ago

00:20:47had finally appeared before me once again.

00:20:50Elena's eyes stiffened

00:20:51for a second second

00:20:52the moment she saw me.

00:20:54Sister,

00:20:55I never imagined

00:20:57the Empress of the Sacred Dominion

00:20:59would turn out to be you.

00:21:00She called me sister,

00:21:02but her tone

00:21:03sounded more like a reminder

00:21:05to everyone present

00:21:06that I had once been

00:21:08nothing more than

00:21:08the filthy,

00:21:09silver-eyed outcast

00:21:11of the silver moon wolf pack.

00:21:13Caius frowned.

00:21:15Mother,

00:21:16you know them?

00:21:17I didn't answer.

00:21:18Ryan stepped forward.

00:21:19He still carried the same arrogance

00:21:21of an Alpha King,

00:21:22though the sharpness in his golden eyes

00:21:24was no longer what it had been.

00:21:27He looked at me

00:21:27and remained silent

00:21:28for a long moment.

00:21:31Selina.

00:21:35Hearing that name

00:21:36come from his lips

00:21:37almost made me laugh.

00:21:39Fifteen years ago

00:21:40he had used that name

00:21:41when he told me he loved me.

00:21:43Later,

00:21:43he had used the same voice

00:21:44to say that I disgusted him.

00:21:46And now he wanted

00:21:47to use that name again,

00:21:48pretending there were still

00:21:48unresolved feelings between us.

00:21:50I spoke calmly.

00:21:52Your Majesty,

00:21:53this is a private banquet

00:21:55of the Sacred Dominion Consortium.

00:21:57You are not invited.

00:22:05Sister,

00:22:06if you're angry with me,

00:22:07then take it out on me.

00:22:09Why make things difficult for Ivy?

00:22:12She simply fell in love with Caius.

00:22:15How interesting.

00:22:17I looked at her.

00:22:19Fifteen years ago,

00:22:20you also claimed

00:22:21that you had simply

00:22:22fallen in love with Ryan.

00:22:24Karen suddenly spoke,

00:22:26his voice called,

00:22:27Selina,

00:22:27what happened back then

00:22:29is already in the past.

00:22:31I turned to him.

00:22:32Of course it is.

00:22:33For you.

00:22:34After you woke up,

00:22:36all you had to do

00:22:36was call me shameless.

00:22:38But I had to spend

00:22:39fifteen years

00:22:40in the Forbibben Rift,

00:22:41carrying the crime

00:22:42you all forced onto me.

00:22:44Karen's throat bobbed.

00:22:45There was something

00:22:46complicated in his eyes.

00:22:48Pain,

00:22:49conflict,

00:22:49and a belated trace of doubt.

00:22:51But I didn't need it.

00:22:53Belated doubt

00:22:53was just like belated love.

00:22:55Both were worthless.

00:22:57Ryan took a deep breath.

00:23:00We didn't come here today

00:23:01to dig up the past.

00:23:02Ivy and Caius

00:23:03love each other.

00:23:05An alliance between

00:23:06our two clans

00:23:07would benefit

00:23:07the sacred dimension

00:23:08as well.

00:23:09Selina,

00:23:10don't let personal grudges

00:23:11interfere with the bigger picture.

00:23:13I gently set down

00:23:14my wine glass.

00:23:15You're lecturing me

00:23:16about the bigger picture?

00:23:17Ryan frowned.

00:23:18I lifted a hand

00:23:20and the attendant

00:23:20behind me

00:23:21unfurled a black

00:23:22and gold contract scroll.

00:23:24It was covered

00:23:25with the markings

00:23:25of moon-tier crystal veins.

00:23:27My voice wasn't loud.

00:23:28Everyone heard it clearly.

00:23:30The Sacred Dominion

00:23:31Commodum controls

00:23:3280% of the continent's

00:23:33moon-tier crystal mines.

00:23:35Last year,

00:23:3570% of the Silvermoon

00:23:37Wolfpack's

00:23:37military supplies,

00:23:38potions,

00:23:39and room array

00:23:39maintenance

00:23:40came from

00:23:41Sacred Dominion resources.

00:23:43Ryan,

00:23:44you're standing

00:23:45on my territory,

00:23:46living off my mines.

00:23:48and still expecting me

00:23:50to prioritize

00:23:51your bigger picture.

00:23:58Ryan's expression

00:23:59instantly dartened.

00:24:00For the first time,

00:24:01panic flashed

00:24:02Kostot Ivy's face.

00:24:04She grabbed

00:24:04Kyos' hand.

00:24:06Kyos,

00:24:06say something!

00:24:07Mother,

00:24:07do you really

00:24:08have to do this?

00:24:09Kyros looked at me,

00:24:10and for the first time,

00:24:11there was anger

00:24:12in his eyes.

00:24:13Do what?

00:24:15I asked.

00:24:16Expose the truth

00:24:17in front of everyone?

00:24:19Or refuse to hand over

00:24:21the life's work

00:24:21I've built

00:24:22to my enemy's daughter?

00:24:23Kyros lowered his voice.

00:24:26Ivy isn't her mother.

00:24:28Neither are you me.

00:24:29You don't have the right

00:24:30to forgive them

00:24:31on my behalf.

00:24:32I fixed my gaze on him.

00:24:33The moment those words

00:24:34left my mouth,

00:24:35the last trace of hesitation

00:24:36vanished from Kyros' face.

00:24:38He took Ivy's hand

00:24:39and turned to face the guests.

00:24:40If Mother refuses

00:24:41to give us her blessing,

00:24:41then I'll make

00:24:42the announcement myself!

00:24:43I, Kyros,

00:24:44as the heir

00:24:44of the sacred

00:24:45Dimangin,

00:24:45choose Ivy

00:24:46as my blood oath mate.

00:24:47From this night forward,

00:24:48anyone whom humiliates her

00:24:49becomes my enemy.

00:24:50The entire hall fell silent.

00:24:51A flash of triumph

00:24:52crossed Elena's eyes.

00:24:53Even Ryan slowly

00:24:54looked pleased.

00:24:55Kyros,

00:24:55I knew you wouldn't

00:24:56abandon me!

00:24:56Crying,

00:24:57Ivy threw herself

00:24:58into Kyros' arms.

00:24:59I watched them

00:25:00and suddenly felt tired.

00:25:01Not heartbroken,

00:25:03just tired of it all.

00:25:04I raised my hand.

00:25:06Bring me the blood oath scroll.

00:25:08Hope lit up

00:25:09in at Kyros' eyes.

00:25:10Mother,

00:25:11you agree?

00:25:11I smiled.

00:25:13Of course.

00:25:14Before Ivy

00:25:15could even breathe

00:25:15a sigh of relief,

00:25:16I finished the sentence.

00:25:17I agree to sever

00:25:18the blood oath

00:25:19between us

00:25:19as mother and son.

00:25:21The smile on Kayata's

00:25:22face frozen.

00:25:23What did you say?

00:25:24An attendant brought over

00:25:26a black parchment scroll.

00:25:28It was no ordinary contract.

00:25:30Someone recognized it,

00:25:32their voice trembling.

00:25:35The soul severation

00:25:37blood oath.

00:25:37Once it's signed,

00:25:38blood ties,

00:25:39inheritance rights,

00:25:40and family protection

00:25:41are all permanently cut off.

00:25:55On the day of my wedding,

00:25:56my mother tore my wedding gown apart

00:25:58in front of every noble present.

00:26:00Raising the moon goddess

00:26:01Seppler high,

00:26:02she brought it

00:26:03crashing down toward me,

00:26:04sending me sprawling

00:26:06across the ground.

00:26:07Selina is not worthy

00:26:09of becoming

00:26:09the new alpha king's bride.

00:26:11A deathly silence

00:26:12fell over the hall.

00:26:13I was the rejected

00:26:14silver-eyed daughter

00:26:14of the silver moon wolf pack.

00:26:16Today,

00:26:17as long as I completed

00:26:18the blood oath

00:26:18with the newly crowned

00:26:19alpha king, Ryan,

00:26:20I would become his Luna,

00:26:22the queen of all werewolves.

00:26:23But my biological mother,

00:26:25Hera,

00:26:25the most revered

00:26:27high priestess

00:26:27of the Temple of Light,

00:26:29publicly declared,

00:26:30Last night,

00:26:32she seduced Karen,

00:26:33the Shadow Pletha clan's

00:26:35holy knight,

00:26:36and her sister Elena's fiancée.

00:26:38The crowd instantly erupted.

00:26:40I knew those silver eyes

00:26:41were filthy.

00:26:42She actually dared

00:26:44to betray the alpha king?

00:26:45Drive her out of the silver moon pack!

00:26:48A chill spread through

00:26:50my entire body

00:26:51as I stared at my mother.

00:26:55What are you talking about?

00:26:57Last night,

00:26:58she had personally handed me

00:26:59a cup of blessed potion.

00:27:01She had smiled and said,

00:27:03Drink this,

00:27:04and the moon goddess

00:27:05will bless you and Ryan

00:27:07with a bond

00:27:07that can never be broken.

00:27:09But when I woke up,

00:27:11the man lying beside me

00:27:12wasn't Ryan.

00:27:13It was at Karen.

00:27:14Both of us had been drugged.

00:27:15I wanted to explain,

00:27:17but Karen had already

00:27:18thrown on his cloak.

00:27:19His eyes were filled

00:27:20with nothing but disgust.

00:27:22Selina,

00:27:23I've never met a woman

00:27:23as shameless as you.

00:27:24You'd even go after

00:27:25your own sister's fiancée?

00:27:26Then Karen staggered backward

00:27:28until he reached

00:27:29Elena's side.

00:27:30His eyes were red

00:27:32as he looked at her.

00:27:33I've been tainted.

00:27:35You're so pure.

00:27:38I no longer deserve

00:27:39to marry you.

00:27:41Below the altar,

00:27:42Ryan stood motionless.

00:27:43He had once told me

00:27:45that even if the entire world

00:27:46despised my silver eyes,

00:27:48he would still marry me.

00:27:50But now,

00:27:51the way he looked at me

00:27:52was no different

00:27:54from looking at something filthy.

00:27:56I rushed down

00:27:57from the altar

00:27:58and grabbed his hand.

00:28:00Ryan,

00:28:01someone set me up.

00:28:02There was something wrong

00:28:03with that potion.

00:28:04It was Mother!

00:28:05Enough!

00:28:07He shook me off,

00:28:08his voice horsey.

00:28:11Selina,

00:28:11I used to think

00:28:12you were just unlucky.

00:28:14Now I realize

00:28:15you genuinely disgust me.

00:28:21I froze where I stood.

00:28:24Elena burst into tears

00:28:26and buried herself

00:28:27in our mother's arms.

00:28:28She had a pair

00:28:29of noble golden eyes.

00:28:30Pale,

00:28:31delicate,

00:28:31and fragile.

00:28:32She looked like

00:28:33the most innocent

00:28:34saintly continent.

00:28:35Sister,

00:28:36I know you've always

00:28:37been jealous of me,

00:28:38but Karen is my fiancée.

00:28:40My mother gently wiped away

00:28:41her tears

00:28:41before walking over to me.

00:28:42Then,

00:28:43with her own hands,

00:28:44she removed

00:28:45the silver moon crest

00:28:45pinned to my chest.

00:28:47It was the symbol

00:28:47of a wolf bride's status,

00:28:49and in all fifteen years

00:28:50of my life,

00:28:51it was the only thing

00:28:51that had ever truly

00:28:52acknowledged my existence.

00:28:54I stared at her.

00:28:55Why?

00:28:56She leaned close

00:28:57to my ear,

00:28:58her voice so low

00:28:59that only I could hear it.

00:29:00because Elena

00:29:01is far more suitable

00:29:03to be Luna.

00:29:04She has golden eyes.

00:29:06You're nothing

00:29:07but a stain.

00:29:10In that moment,

00:29:11I finally understood.

00:29:13This wasn't an accident.

00:29:15It wasn't a misunderstanding.

00:29:17It was a trap

00:29:18they had prepared

00:29:19long ago.

00:29:19That moment,

00:29:20Elena suddenly wiped away

00:29:21her tears

00:29:22and stepped forward.

00:29:23The position of Luna

00:29:23of the silver moon wolf pack

00:29:25cannot remain vacant.

00:29:26It would only make us

00:29:27the laughingstock

00:29:28of everyone.

00:29:29Since my sister committed

00:29:29such a disgraceful offense,

00:29:31let me atone

00:29:32for her sins

00:29:32in her place.

00:29:33Ryan,

00:29:33if you're willing,

00:29:35I can complete

00:29:35this blood oath

00:29:36in my sister's stead.

00:29:37Ryan turned around

00:29:38and placed the blood crown,

00:29:40the symbol of the queen,

00:29:41upon Elena's head.

00:29:43The entire hall

00:29:44erupted in cheers.

00:29:45My sister wore

00:29:47my wedding gown,

00:29:48held my Grimm's hand,

00:29:49and stood in the place

00:29:50that should have been mine.

00:29:52And I was publicly

00:29:53sentenced by my own mother.

00:29:54At Selena,

00:29:55Silver Eyes

00:29:55has defiled the blood oath.

00:29:56Stripper of the wolf crest

00:29:57and exiled her

00:29:58to the forbidden rift.

00:29:59She shall never return.

00:30:00As the temple knights

00:30:01dragged me down

00:30:02from the altar,

00:30:02Elinina glanced at me,

00:30:04tears still lingoned

00:30:04on her face,

00:30:05but the corners of her lips

00:30:06slowly curled forward.

00:30:09Fifteen years later,

00:30:11at the inheritance bankery

00:30:12of the sacred dominion

00:30:12Conforge,

00:30:13nables and power holders

00:30:14from all twelve clans

00:30:15gathered withneath

00:30:16one roof.

00:30:17They knelt before

00:30:17my dragon bone throne,

00:30:19competing to present

00:30:19moon tear crystal mines,

00:30:21territorial deeds,

00:30:22and bloodline oves

00:30:23as tribute.

00:30:23None of them knew

00:30:24that the empress

00:30:25of the sacred dominion

00:30:27the woman who controlled

00:30:28eighty percent

00:30:29of the continent's

00:30:30moon tear crystal mines

00:30:33was the same

00:30:34silver-eyed outcast

00:30:35they had once

00:30:36trampled into the mud.

00:30:38Until my adopted son,

00:30:40Kyaris,

00:30:41walked into the grand hall

00:30:42holding a young woman's hand.

00:30:44She wore a silver-white

00:30:46formal gown.

00:30:47Her golden eyes

00:30:48shunned brightly,

00:30:49and pride radiated

00:30:51from her face.

00:30:52Her name was Ivy,

00:30:53Elena's daughter,

00:30:54and she bore

00:30:55the exact same face

00:30:56her mother had

00:30:56fifteen years ago.

00:30:57Kaio stopped before me,

00:30:59his tone unwavering.

00:31:00Mother,

00:31:00Ivy will become

00:31:01my blood oath mate.

00:31:02If you approve,

00:31:03we'll announce

00:31:03our engagement tonight.

00:31:05Every guest in the hall

00:31:06held their breath.

00:31:07Ivy lifted her chin

00:31:08slightly,

00:31:09waiting for me

00:31:10to bestow that honor

00:31:11upon her.

00:31:12She was the golden-eyed

00:31:13saint-gris

00:31:14of the silver moon wolf pack,

00:31:15Ryan's most cherished

00:31:16daughter

00:31:17and Hera's

00:31:17favorite granddaughter.

00:31:19She was used to people

00:31:20lowering their heads

00:31:21the moment they saw her,

00:31:22but she had forgotten

00:31:23one thing.

00:31:24This was not

00:31:25the silver moon wolf pack.

00:31:26This was the sacred

00:31:27dominion conformity.

00:31:28This was the throne

00:31:29I had clawed my way

00:31:31towards for fifteen years,

00:31:33inch by inch,

00:31:34through the bones

00:31:35and corpses

00:31:36of the forbidden rift.

00:31:37I looked at that face

00:31:39and remembered

00:31:39the wedding gown

00:31:40that had been torn apart

00:31:41fifteen years ago.

00:31:42I remembered the poison

00:31:43my mother had handed me.

00:31:45I remembered the cold look

00:31:46in Ryan's eyes.

00:31:47Then I set down

00:31:48my wine glass.

00:31:49The bass struck

00:31:50the dragon bone armrest.

00:31:51The sound was not loud.

00:31:52Yet the entire hall

00:31:53fell silence in an instant.

00:31:54I do not approve.

00:31:56I said,

00:31:57Kairos froze.

00:31:58Mother?

00:31:59The smile on Ivy's face

00:32:00stiffened.

00:32:01I raised my eyes to her.

00:32:02You will never become

00:32:03the mate of the sacred

00:32:04dominion's heir,

00:32:05not in this lifetime.

00:32:06The crowd instantly

00:32:07exploded into an uproar.

00:32:09Ivy's eyes reddened

00:32:10at once.

00:32:11Why?

00:32:12What makes me unworthy?

00:32:15I looked at her

00:32:16and smiled.

00:32:17Because the thing

00:32:18your mother stole

00:32:19fifteen years ago

00:32:20is finally going

00:32:21to be returned today.

00:32:24Ivy's face

00:32:25went completely pale.

00:32:26Kairos stepped

00:32:27in front of her,

00:32:28his brows drawn

00:32:28tightly together.

00:32:30Mother,

00:32:30Ivy didn't do

00:32:31anything wrong.

00:32:32The grudges

00:32:33of the previous generation

00:32:34shouldn't fall

00:32:34on her shoulders.

00:32:35I looked at him.

00:32:36Do you even know

00:32:37what happened

00:32:38fifteen years ago?

00:32:39Ivy spoke before he-

00:32:40My mother told me

00:32:41everything!

00:32:42Fifteen years ago

00:32:43you betrayed

00:32:43Alpha King Ryan

00:32:44and seduced Karen

00:32:45my mother's fiancée.

00:32:46You were exiled

00:32:47because you committed

00:32:48a crime!

00:32:49She bit her lip

00:32:49looking as though

00:32:50I were the one

00:32:51bullying her.

00:32:52But my mother

00:32:52always defended you.

00:32:54She said you were

00:32:55just too jealous

00:32:56of her.

00:32:57Muted whispers

00:32:58spread throughout

00:32:58the hall.

00:32:59Some of the older

00:33:00nobles lowered

00:33:01their heads.

00:33:02Back then

00:33:03they had all stood

00:33:13about the truth

00:33:13because the stories

00:33:15written by the victors

00:33:15were always clean

00:33:16and respectable.

00:33:17Before I could speak

00:33:18the doors of the hall

00:33:19were suddenly pushed open.

00:33:20Ivy wasn't wrong.

00:33:22Everyone turned around.

00:33:24Elena had a rye.

00:33:25Fifteen years had passed

00:33:26yet she was still

00:33:26breathtakingly beautiful

00:33:28in that fragile way

00:33:28of hers.

00:33:29Her golden hair

00:33:30was pinned up

00:33:30behind her head

00:33:31and the royal crest

00:33:32of the silver moon

00:33:33wolf pack's luna

00:33:34was embroidered

00:33:34on her white cloak.

00:33:35Behind her stood

00:33:36Alpha King Ryan

00:33:37and Karen

00:33:38the holy knight

00:33:38of the shadow leopard clan.

00:33:40Every person who had

00:33:41destroyed my life

00:33:42fifteen years ago

00:33:42had finally appeared

00:33:43before me once again.

00:33:45Elena's eyes stiffened

00:33:46for a second second

00:33:47the moment she saw me.

00:33:49Sister

00:33:50I never imagined

00:33:52the Empress

00:33:53of the Sacred Dominion

00:33:54would turn out

00:33:54to be you.

00:33:55She called me sister

00:33:57but her tone

00:33:58sounded more like

00:33:59a reminder

00:34:00to everyone present

00:34:01that I had once

00:34:03been nothing more

00:34:04than the filthy

00:34:04silver-eyed outcast

00:34:06of the silver moon

00:34:07wolf pack.

00:34:08Caius frowned.

00:34:10Mother

00:34:10you know them?

00:34:12I didn't answer.

00:34:13Ryan stepped forward.

00:34:15He still carried

00:34:16the same arrogance

00:34:16of an Alpha King

00:34:17though the sharpness

00:34:18in his golden eyes

00:34:19was no longer

00:34:20what it had been.

00:34:22He looked at me

00:34:23and remained silent

00:34:24for a long moment.

00:34:26Selena.

00:34:30Hearing that name

00:34:31come from his lips

00:34:32almost made me laugh.

00:34:34Fifteen years ago

00:34:35he had used that name

00:34:36when he told me

00:34:37he loved me.

00:34:38Later

00:34:38he had used

00:34:39the same voice

00:34:39to say that I disgusted him

00:34:41and now he wanted

00:34:42to use that name again

00:34:43pretending there were

00:34:43still unresolved feelings

00:34:45between us.

00:34:46I spoke calmly.

00:34:47Your majesty

00:34:48this is a private banquet

00:34:50of the Sacred Dominion

00:34:51consortium.

00:34:52You were not invited.

00:35:00Sister

00:35:01if you're angry with me

00:35:02then take it out on me.

00:35:05Why make things

00:35:06difficult for Ivy?

00:35:07She simply fell

00:35:08in love with Kairos.

00:35:11How interesting.

00:35:12I looked at her.

00:35:14Fifteen years ago

00:35:15you also claimed

00:35:16that you had simply

00:35:17fallen in love

00:35:18with Ryan.

00:35:20Karen suddenly spoke

00:35:21his voice called.

00:35:22Selena.

00:35:23What happened back then

00:35:24is already in the past.

00:35:26I turned to him.

00:35:27Of course it is.

00:35:28For you.

00:35:30After you woke up

00:35:31all you had to do

00:35:32was call me shameless.

00:35:33But I had to spend

00:35:34fifteen years

00:35:35in the Forbibbon Rift

00:35:36carrying the crime

00:35:38you all forced onto me.

00:35:39Karen's throat bobbed.

00:35:41There was something

00:35:41complicated in his eyes.

00:35:43Pain,

00:35:44conflict

00:35:44and a belated trace

00:35:46of doubt.

00:35:46But I didn't need it.

00:35:48Belated doubt

00:35:49was just like

00:35:49belated love.

00:35:51Both were worthless.

00:35:53Ryan took a deep breath.

00:35:54We didn't come here today

00:35:56to dig up the past.

00:35:57Ivy and Kaidas

00:35:59love each other.

00:36:00An alliance

00:36:01between our two clans

00:36:02would benefit

00:36:02the sacred dimension

00:36:03as well.

00:36:05Selena,

00:36:05don't let personal grudges

00:36:06interfere with

00:36:07the bigger picture.

00:36:08I gently set down

00:36:09my wine glass.

00:36:10You're lecturing me

00:36:11about the bigger picture?

00:36:12Ryan frowned.

00:36:14I lifted a hand

00:36:15and the attendant

00:36:16behind me

00:36:16unfurled a black

00:36:17and gold contract scroll.

00:36:19It was covered

00:36:20with the markings

00:36:21of moon-tier crystal veins.

00:36:22My voice wasn't loud.

00:36:24Everyone heard it clearly.

00:36:25The sacred dominion

00:36:26comodum controls

00:36:27eighty percent

00:36:28of the continent's

00:36:28moon-tier crystal mines.

00:36:30Last year,

00:36:31seventy percent

00:36:31of the silver moon

00:36:32wolf pack's

00:36:32military supplies,

00:36:33potions,

00:36:34and room array

00:36:34maintenance

00:36:35came from

00:36:36sacred dominion resources.

00:36:38Ryan,

00:36:39you're standing

00:36:40on my territory,

00:36:42living off my mines,

00:36:44and still expecting me

00:36:45to prioritize

00:36:46your bigger picture.

00:36:53Ryan's expression

00:36:54instantly dartened.

00:36:55For the first time,

00:36:57panic flashed

00:36:57Kostot Ivy's face.

00:36:59She grabbed

00:37:00Kyos' hand.

00:37:01Kyos, say something!

00:37:02Mother, do you really

00:37:03have to do this?

00:37:04Kairos looked at me,

00:37:05and for the first time,

00:37:07there was anger

00:37:07in his eyes.

00:37:08Do what?

00:37:10I asked.

00:37:12Expose the truth

00:37:13in front of everyone?

00:37:14Or refuse to hand over

00:37:16the life's work

00:37:16I've built

00:37:17to my enemy's daughter?

00:37:19Kairos lowered his voice.

00:37:21Ivy isn't her mother.

00:37:23Neither are you me.

00:37:25You don't have the right

00:37:26to forgive them

00:37:26on my behalf.

00:37:27I fixed my gaze on him.

00:37:28The moment those words

00:37:29left my mouth,

00:37:30the last trace of hesitation

00:37:31vanished from Kairos' face.

00:37:33He took Ivy's hand

00:37:34and turned to face the guests.

00:37:35If Mother refuses

00:37:36to give us her blessing,

00:37:37then I'll make

00:37:37the announcement myself.

00:37:38I, Kairos,

00:37:39as the heir of the sacred

00:37:40Dimangin,

00:37:41choose Ivy

00:37:41as my blood oath mate.

00:37:42From this night forward,

00:37:43anyone who humiliates her

00:37:44becomes my enemy.

00:37:45The entire hall

00:37:46fell silent.

00:37:47A flash of triumph

00:37:47crossed Elena's eyes.

00:37:48Even Ryan slowly

00:37:49looked pleased.

00:37:50Kairos, I knew

00:37:51you wouldn't abandon me!

00:37:52Crying,

00:37:52Ivy threw herself

00:37:53into Kairos' arms.

00:37:54I watched them

00:37:55and suddenly felt tired.

00:37:56Not heartbroken.

00:37:58Just tired of it all.

00:37:59I raised my hand.

00:38:01Bring me the blood oath scroll.

00:38:03Hope lit up

00:38:04in at Kairos' eyes.

00:38:05Mother, you agree?

00:38:06I smiled.

00:38:08Of course.

00:38:09Before Ivy

00:38:10could even breathe

00:38:10a sigh of relief,

00:38:11I finished the sentence.

00:38:12I agree to sever

00:38:13the blood oath

00:38:14between us

00:38:15as mother and son.

00:38:16The smile on

00:38:17Kairos' face frozen.

00:38:18What did you say?

00:38:19An attendant

00:38:21brought over

00:38:21a black parchment scroll.

00:38:23It was no ordinary contract.

00:38:25Someone recognized it,

00:38:27their voice trembling.

00:38:30The soul-severation

00:38:32blood oath.

00:38:33Once it's signed,

00:38:34blood ties,

00:38:34inheritance rights,

00:38:35and family protection

00:38:36are all permanently cut off.

00:38:50On the day of my wedding,

00:38:52my mother tore my wedding gown apart

00:38:53in front of every noble present.

00:38:55Raising the moon goddess

00:38:56Seppler high,

00:38:57she brought it

00:38:58crashing down toward me,

00:39:00sending me sprawling

00:39:01across the ground.

00:39:03Selina is not worthy

00:39:04of becoming

00:39:04the new Alpha King's bride.

00:39:06A deathly silence

00:39:07fell over the hall.

00:39:08I was the rejected

00:39:09silver-eyed daughter

00:39:10of the Silvermoon wolf pack.

00:39:11Today,

00:39:12as long as I completed

00:39:13the blood oath

00:39:13with the newly crowned

00:39:14Alpha King Ryan,

00:39:15I would become his Luna,

00:39:17the queen of all werewolves.

00:39:18But my biological mother,

00:39:20Hera,

00:39:21the most revered

00:39:22High Priestess

00:39:23of the Temple of Light,

00:39:24publicly declared,

00:39:25Last night,

00:39:27she seduced Karen,

00:39:28the Shadow Pletha clan's

00:39:30holy knight,

00:39:31and her sister

00:39:32Elena's fiancée.

00:39:33The crowd instantly erupted.

00:39:35I knew those silver eyes

00:39:37were filthy.

00:39:37She actually dared

00:39:39to betray the Alpha King?

00:39:40Drive her out

00:39:42of the Silvermoon pack!

00:39:44A chill spread

00:39:45through my entire body

00:39:47as I stared

00:39:47at my mother.

00:39:50What are you talking about?

00:39:52Last night,

00:39:53she had personally

00:39:54handed me a cup

00:39:55of blessed potion.

00:39:56She had smiled

00:39:57and said,

00:39:58Drink this,

00:39:59and the Moon Goddess

00:40:00will bless you

00:40:01and Ryan

00:40:02with a bond

00:40:03that can never be broken.

00:40:04But when I woke up,

00:40:06the man lying beside me

00:40:07wasn't Ryan.

00:40:08It was at Karen.

00:40:09Both of us

00:40:10had been drugged.

00:40:11I wanted to explain,

00:40:12but Karen had already

00:40:13thrown on his cloak.

00:40:14His eyes were filled

00:40:15with nothing but disgust.

00:40:17Selina,

00:40:18I've never met a woman

00:40:19as shameless as you.

00:40:20You'd even go after

00:40:20your own sister's fiancée!

00:40:22Then Karen staggered backward

00:40:23until he reached Elena's side.

00:40:26His eyes were red

00:40:27as he looked at her.

00:40:28I've been tainted.

00:40:31You're so pure.

00:40:33I no longer deserve

00:40:35to marry you.

00:40:36Below the altar,

00:40:37Ryan stood motionless.

00:40:39He had once told me

00:40:40that even if the entire world

00:40:41despised my silver eyes,

00:40:43he would still marry me.

00:40:45But now,

00:40:46the way he looked at me

00:40:48was no different

00:40:49from looking at something filthy.

00:40:51I rushed down from the altar

00:40:53and grabbed his hand.

00:40:55Ryan,

00:40:56someone set me up.

00:40:57There was something wrong

00:40:58with that potion.

00:40:59It was Mother!

00:41:00Enough!

00:41:02He shook me off,

00:41:03his voice horsey.

00:41:06Selina and I used to think

00:41:07you were just unlucky.

00:41:09Now I realize

00:41:10you genuinely disgust me.

00:41:16I froze where I stood.

00:41:19Elena burst into tears

00:41:21and buried herself

00:41:22in our mother's arms.

00:41:23She had a pair of noble golden eyes.

00:41:25Pale,

00:41:26delicate,

00:41:27and fragile.

00:41:28She looked like

00:41:28the most innocent,

00:41:29sainty continent.

00:41:30Sister,

00:41:31I know you've always

00:41:32been jealous of me,

00:41:33but Karen is my fiancée.

00:41:35My mother gently wiped away

00:41:36her tears before

00:41:37walking over to me.

00:41:38Then,

00:41:38with her own hands,

00:41:39she removed the silver moon crest

00:41:41pinned to my chest.

00:41:42It was the symbol

00:41:43of a wolf bride's status.

00:41:44And in all fifteen years

00:41:45of my life,

00:41:46it was the only thing

00:41:47that had ever truly

00:41:48acknowledged my existence.

00:41:49I stared at her.

00:41:50Why?

00:41:51She leaned close

00:41:52to my ear,

00:41:53her voice so low

00:41:54that only I could hear it.

00:41:56Because Elena

00:41:57is far more suitable

00:41:58to be Luna,

00:41:59she has golden eyes.

00:42:01You're nothing

00:42:02but a stain.

00:42:05In that moment,

00:42:07I finally understood

00:42:08this wasn't an accident.

00:42:10It wasn't a misunderstanding.

00:42:12It was a trap

00:42:13they had prepared

00:42:14long ago.

00:42:15That moment,

00:42:15Elena suddenly wiped away

00:42:16her tears

00:42:17and stepped forward.

00:42:18The position of Luna

00:42:19of the silver moon wolf pack

00:42:20cannot remain vacant.

00:42:21It would only make us

00:42:22the laughing stock

00:42:23of everyone.

00:42:24Since my sister

00:42:24committed such

00:42:25a disgraceful offense,

00:42:26let me atone

00:42:27for her sins

00:42:27in her place.

00:42:28Ryan,

00:42:29if you're willing,

00:42:30I can complete

00:42:30this blood oath

00:42:31in my sister's stead.

00:42:32Ryan turned around

00:42:33and placed the blood crown,

00:42:35the symbol of the queen,

00:42:37upon Elena's head.

00:42:38The entire hall

00:42:39erupted in cheers.

00:42:41My sister wore

00:42:42my wedding gown,

00:42:43held my Grimm's hand,

00:42:44and stood in the place

00:42:46that should have been mine.

00:42:47And I was publicly sentenced

00:42:48by my own mother.

00:42:49At Selina,

00:42:50silver eyes

00:42:50has defiled the blood oath.

00:42:52Strip her of the wolf crest

00:42:53and exiled her

00:42:53to the forbidden rift.

00:42:54She shall never return.

00:42:56As the temple knights

00:42:56dragged me down

00:42:57from the altar,

00:42:58Elena glanced at me,

00:42:59tears still lingued

00:42:59on her face,

00:43:00but the corners of her lips

00:43:01slowly curled forward.

00:43:04Fifteen years later,

00:43:06at the inheritance bankery

00:43:07of the sacred dominion

00:43:08Conforge,

00:43:09naples and power holders

00:43:10from all twelve clans

00:43:11gathered withneath

00:43:11one roof.

00:43:12They knelt before

00:43:13my dragon bone throne,

00:43:14competing to present

00:43:15moon tear crystal mines,

00:43:16territorial deeds,

00:43:17and bloodline oves

00:43:18as tribute.

00:43:19None of them knew

00:43:20that the empress

00:43:21of the sacred dominion,

00:43:22the woman who controlled

00:43:24eighty percent

00:43:24of the continent's

00:43:25moon tear crystal mines,

00:43:28was the same

00:43:29silver-eyed outcast

00:43:30they had once

00:43:31trampled into the mud.

00:43:33Until my adopted son,

00:43:35Kyaris,

00:43:36walked into the grand hall

00:43:38holding a young woman's hand.

00:43:40She wore a silver-white

00:43:41formal gown.

00:43:42Her golden eyes

00:43:43shunned brightly,

00:43:44and pride radiated

00:43:46from her face.

00:43:47Her name was Ivy,

00:43:48Elena's daughter,

00:43:49and she bore

00:43:50the exact same face

00:43:51her mother had

00:43:51fifteen years ago.

00:43:53Kyo stopped before me,

00:43:54his tone unwavering.

00:43:55Mother,

00:43:56Ivy will become

00:43:56my blood oath mate.

00:43:57If you approve,

00:43:58we'll announce

00:43:59our engagement tonight.

00:44:00Every guest in the hall

00:44:01held their breath.

00:44:02Ivy lifted her chin

00:44:03slightly,

00:44:05waiting for me

00:44:05to bestow that honor

00:44:06upon her.

00:44:07She was the golden-eyed

00:44:08saint-gris

00:44:09of the silver moon wolf pack,

00:44:11Ryan's most cherished daughter

00:44:12and Hera's favorite granddaughter.

00:44:14She was used to people

00:44:15lowering their heads

00:44:16the moment they saw her,

00:44:17but she had forgotten

00:44:18one thing.

00:44:19This was not

00:44:20the silver moon wolf pack.

00:44:21This was the sacred

00:44:22dominion conformity.

00:44:24This was the throne

00:44:25I had clawed my way

00:44:26towards for fifteen years,

00:44:28inch by inch,

00:44:30through the bones

00:44:30and corpses

00:44:31of the forbidden rift.

00:44:33I looked at that face

00:44:34and remembered

00:44:34the wedding gown

00:44:35that had been torn apart

00:44:36fifteen years ago.

00:44:37I remembered the poison

00:44:38my mother had handed me.

00:44:40I remembered the cold look

00:44:41in Ryan's eyes.

00:44:42Then I set down

00:44:43my wine glass.

00:44:44The bass struck

00:44:45the dragon bone armrest.

00:44:46The sound was not loud,

00:44:47yet the entire hall

00:44:48fell silence in an instant.

00:44:50I do not approve.

00:44:51I said,

00:44:52Kairos froze.

00:44:53Mother?

00:44:54The smile on Ivy's face

00:44:55stiffened.

00:44:56I raised my eyes to her.

00:44:58You will never become

00:44:58the mate of the

00:44:59sacred dominion's heir,

00:45:00not in this lifetime.

00:45:01The crowd instantly

00:45:02exploded into an uproar.

00:45:04Ivy's eyes reddened

00:45:05at once.

00:45:06Why?

00:45:07What makes me unworthy?

00:45:10I looked at her

00:45:11and smiled.

00:45:12Because the thing

00:45:13your mother stole

00:45:14fifteen years ago

00:45:15is finally going

00:45:16to be returned today.

00:45:19Ivy's face

00:45:20went completely pale.

00:45:21Kairos stepped

00:45:22in front of her,

00:45:23his brows drawn

00:45:24tightly together.

00:45:25Mother,

00:45:25Ivy didn't do

00:45:26anything wrong.

00:45:27The grudges of

00:45:28the previous generation

00:45:29shouldn't fall

00:45:29on her shoulders.

00:45:30I looked at him.

00:45:31Do you even know

00:45:32what happened

00:45:33fifteen years ago?

00:45:34Ivy spoke before

00:45:35My mother told

00:45:36me everything.

00:45:37Fifteen years ago

00:45:38you betrayed

00:45:39Alpha King Ryan

00:45:39and seduced

00:45:40Karen,

00:45:40my mother's fiancée.

00:45:41You were exiled

00:45:42because you

00:45:43committed a crime.

00:45:44She bit her lip,

00:45:45looking as though

00:45:45I were the one

00:45:46bullying her.

00:45:47But my mother

00:45:47always defended you.

00:45:49She said you were

00:45:50just too jealous

00:45:51of her.

00:45:52Muted whispers

00:45:53spread throughout

00:45:54the hall.

00:45:54Some of the older

00:45:55nobles lowered

00:45:56their heads.

00:45:57Back then,

00:45:58they had all stood

00:45:59within the moon

00:45:59goddess's altar.

00:46:00They had watched

00:46:01my wedding gown

00:46:02in dream torn apart

00:46:03and they had watched

00:46:03Elena put on

00:46:04my bridal dress.

00:46:05They knew about

00:46:06that scanned

00:46:07but they had never

00:46:08cared about the truth

00:46:09because the stories

00:46:10written by the victors

00:46:11were always clean

00:46:11and respectable.

00:46:12Before I could speak,

00:46:13the doors of the hall

00:46:14were suddenly pushed open.

00:46:15Ivy wasn't wrong.

00:46:17Everyone turned around.

00:46:19Elena had arrived.

00:46:20Fifteen years had passed

00:46:21yet she was still

00:46:22breathtakingly beautiful

00:46:23in that fragile way

00:46:24of hers.

00:46:24Her golden hair

00:46:25was pinned up

00:46:26behind her head

00:46:26and the royal crest

00:46:27of the silver moon

00:46:28wolf pack's luna

00:46:29was embroidered

00:46:29on her white cloak.

00:46:31Behind her stood

00:46:31Alpha King Ryan

00:46:32and Karen,

00:46:33the holy knight

00:46:34of the shadow leopard clan.

00:46:35Every person

00:46:36who had destroyed

00:46:36my life fifteen years ago

00:46:38had finally appeared

00:46:39before me once again.

00:46:40Elena's eyes stiffened

00:46:42for a certain second

00:46:42the moment she saw me.

00:46:44Sister,

00:46:46I never imagined

00:46:47the Empress

00:46:48of the Sacred Dominion

00:46:49would turn out

00:46:50to be you.

00:46:51She called me sister,

00:46:52but her tone

00:46:54sounded more like

00:46:55a reminder

00:46:55to everyone present

00:46:56that I had once

00:46:58been nothing more

00:46:59than the filthy,

00:47:00silver-eyed outcast

00:47:01of the silver moon

00:47:02wolf pack.

00:47:03Caius frowned.

00:47:05Mother,

00:47:06you know them?

00:47:07I didn't answer.

00:47:09Ryan stepped forward.

00:47:10He still carried

00:47:11the same arrogance

00:47:11of an Alpha King,

00:47:13though the sharpness

00:47:14in his golden eyes

00:47:14was no longer

00:47:15what it had been.

00:47:17He looked at me

00:47:18and remained silent

00:47:19for a long moment.

00:47:21Selina.

00:47:25Hearing that name

00:47:26come from his lips

00:47:27almost made me laugh.

00:47:29Fifteen years ago

00:47:30he had used that name

00:47:31when he told me

00:47:32he loved me.

00:47:33Later,

00:47:34he had used the same voice

00:47:35to say that I disgusted him.

00:47:36And now he wanted

00:47:37to use that name again,

00:47:38pretending there were still

00:47:39unresolved feelings

00:47:40between us.

00:47:41I spoke calmly.

00:47:43Your Majesty,

00:47:44this is a private banquet

00:47:45of the Sacred Dominion

00:47:46consortium.

00:47:48You were not invited.

00:47:55Sister,

00:47:56if you're angry with me,

00:47:58then take it out on me.

00:48:00Why make things

00:48:01difficult for Ivy?

00:48:02She simply fell in love

00:48:04with Kairos.

00:48:06How interesting.

00:48:07I looked at her.

00:48:09Fifteen years ago,

00:48:11you also claimed

00:48:12that you had simply

00:48:12fallen in love with Ryan.

00:48:15Karen suddenly spoke,

00:48:17his voice called,

00:48:18Selina.

00:48:18What happened back then

00:48:19is already in the past.

00:48:21I turned to him.

00:48:22Of course it is.

00:48:24For you.

00:48:25After you woke up,

00:48:26all you had to do

00:48:27was call me shameless.

00:48:28But I had to spend

00:48:30fifteen years

00:48:30in the Forbibben Rift,

00:48:32carrying the crime

00:48:33you all forced onto me.

00:48:34Karen's throat bobbed.

00:48:36There was something

00:48:36complicated in his eyes.

00:48:38Pain,

00:48:39conflict,

00:48:40and a belated

00:48:40trace of doubt.

00:48:42But I didn't need it.

00:48:43Belated doubt

00:48:44was just like

00:48:45belated love.

00:48:46Both were worthless.

00:48:48Ryan took a deep breath.

00:48:49We didn't come here today

00:48:51to dig up the past.

00:48:53Ivy and Kyaitis

00:48:54love each other.

00:48:55An alliance between

00:48:56our two clans

00:48:57would benefit

00:48:58the sacred dimension

00:48:58as well.

00:49:00Selina,

00:49:00don't let personal grudges

00:49:02interfere with

00:49:02the bigger picture.

00:49:03I gently set down

00:49:04my wine glass.

00:49:05You're lecturing me

00:49:06about the bigger picture?

00:49:08Ryan frowned.

00:49:09I lifted a hand

00:49:10and the attendant behind me

00:49:11unfurled a black

00:49:12and gold contract scroll.

00:49:14It was covered

00:49:15with the markings

00:49:16of moon-tier crystal veins.

00:49:18My voice wasn't loud.

00:49:19Everyone heard it clearly.

00:49:21The Sacred Dominion

00:49:22Commodum controls

00:49:2280% of the continent's

00:49:24moon-tier crystal mines.

00:49:25Last year,

00:49:2670% of the Silvermoon

00:49:27Wolfpack's

00:49:28military supplies,

00:49:29potions,

00:49:29and room array maintenance

00:49:30came from

00:49:31Sacred Dominion resources.

00:49:34Ryan,

00:49:35you're standing

00:49:35on my territory,

00:49:37living off my mines,

00:49:39and still expecting me

00:49:41to prioritize

00:49:41your bigger picture.

00:49:48Ryan's expression

00:49:49instantly dartened.

00:49:50For the first time,

00:49:52panic flashed

00:49:53across Dot Ivy's face.

00:49:54She grabbed

00:49:55Kaios' hand.

00:49:56Kaios,

00:49:57say something!

00:49:58Mother,

00:49:58do you really

00:49:58have to do this?

00:49:59Kairos looked at me,

00:50:01and for the first time,

00:50:02there was anger

00:50:03in his eyes.

00:50:03Do what?

00:50:05I asked.

00:50:07Expose the truth

00:50:08in front of everyone?

00:50:09Or refuse to hand over

00:50:11the life's work

00:50:12I've built

00:50:12to my enemy's daughter?

00:50:14Kairos lowered his voice.

00:50:16Ivy isn't her mother.

00:50:19Neither are you me.

00:50:20You don't have the right

00:50:21to forgive them

00:50:22on my behalf.

00:50:22I fixed my gaze on him.

00:50:24The moment those words

00:50:24left my mouth,

00:50:25the last trace of hesitation

00:50:27vanished from Kairos' face.

00:50:28He took Ivy's hand

00:50:29and turned to face the guests.

00:50:30If Mother refuses

00:50:31to give us her blessing,

00:50:32then I'll make

00:50:32the announcement myself.

00:50:33I, Kairos,

00:50:34as the heir of the Sacred

00:50:35Dimangin,

00:50:36choose Ivy

00:50:36as my blood oath mate.

00:50:37From this night forward,

00:50:38anyone who humiliates her

00:50:40becomes my enemy.

00:50:40The entire hall fell silent.

00:50:42A flash of triumph

00:50:42crossed Elena's eyes.

00:50:44Even Ryan slowly

00:50:44looked pleased.

00:50:45Kairos,

00:50:46I knew you wouldn't

00:50:46abandon me.

00:50:47Crying,

00:50:48Ivy threw herself

00:50:48into Kairos' arms.

00:50:49I watched them

00:50:50and suddenly felt tired.

00:50:52Not heartbroken,

00:50:53just tired of it all.

00:50:55I raised my hand.

00:50:56Bring me the blood oath scroll.

00:50:58Hope lit up

00:50:59in at Kairos' eyes.

00:51:01Mother, you agree?

00:51:02I smiled.

00:51:03Of course.

00:51:04Before Ivy

00:51:05could even breathe

00:51:06a sigh of relief,

00:51:07I finished the sentence.

00:51:07I agree to sever

00:51:09the blood oath

00:51:09between us

00:51:10as mother and son.

00:51:11The smile on Kayata's face frozen.

00:51:14What did you say?

00:51:15An attendant brought over

00:51:16a black parchment scroll.

00:51:18It was no ordinary contract.

00:51:20Someone recognized it,

00:51:22their voice trembling.

00:51:25The soul-severation blood oath.

00:51:28Once it's signed,

00:51:29blood ties,

00:51:29inheritance rights,

00:51:30and family protection

00:51:31are all permanently cut off.

00:51:45On the day of my wedding,

00:51:47my mother tore my wedding gown apart

00:51:48in front of every noble present.

00:51:50Raising the moon goddess

00:51:51Seppler high,

00:51:52she brought it crashing down

00:51:54toward me,

00:51:55sending me sprawling

00:51:56across the ground.

00:51:58Selina is not worthy

00:51:59of becoming

00:52:00the new alpha king's bride.

00:52:01A deathly silence

00:52:02fell over the hall.

00:52:03I was the rejected

00:52:04silver-eyed daughter

00:52:05of the silver moon wolf pack.

00:52:07Today,

00:52:07as long as I completed

00:52:08the blood oath

00:52:09with the newly crowned

00:52:10alpha king, Ryan,

00:52:11I would become his Luna,

00:52:12the queen of all werewolves.

00:52:13But my biological mother,

00:52:15Hera,

00:52:16the most revered

00:52:17high priestess

00:52:18of the Temple of Light,

00:52:19publicly declared,

00:52:20Last night,

00:52:22she seduced Karen,

00:52:24the Shadow Pletha clan's

00:52:25holy knight,

00:52:26and her sister Elena's fiancée.

00:52:28The crowd instantly erupted.

00:52:30I knew those silver eyes

00:52:32were filthy.

00:52:33She actually dared

00:52:34to betray the alpha king?

00:52:36Drive her out

00:52:37of the silver moon pack!

00:52:39A chill spread through

00:52:41my entire body

00:52:42as I stared at my mother.

00:52:45What are you talking about?

00:52:47Last night,

00:52:48she had personally handed me

00:52:50a cup of blessed potion.

00:52:52She had smiled and said,

00:52:53Drink this,

00:52:55and the moon goddess

00:52:56will bless you and Ryan

00:52:57with a bond

00:52:58that can never be broken.

00:53:00But when I woke up,

00:53:01the man lying beside me

00:53:02wasn't Ryan.

00:53:03It was at Karen.

00:53:05Both of us had been drugged.

00:53:06I wanted to explain,

00:53:07but Karen had already

00:53:08thrown on his cloak.

00:53:09His eyes were filled

00:53:10with nothing but disgust.

00:53:13Selina,

00:53:13I've never met a woman

00:53:14as shameless as you.

00:53:15You'd even go after

00:53:16your own sister's fiancée!

00:53:17Then Karen staggered backward

00:53:19until he reached

00:53:20Elena's side.

00:53:21His eyes were red

00:53:22as he looked at her.

00:53:24I've been tainted.

00:53:26You're so pure.

00:53:28I no longer deserve

00:53:30to marry you.

00:53:31Below the altar,

00:53:32Ryan stood motionless.

00:53:34He had once told me

00:53:35that even if the entire world

00:53:37despised my silver eyes,

00:53:38he would still marry me.

00:53:41But now,

00:53:42the way he looked at me

00:53:43was no different

00:53:44from looking at something filthy.

00:53:46I rushed down from the altar

00:53:48and grabbed his hand.

00:53:50Ryan,

00:53:51someone set me up.

00:53:52There was something wrong

00:53:53with that potion.

00:53:54It was Mother!

00:53:55Enough!

00:53:57He shook me off,

00:53:59his voice horsey.

00:54:01Selina,

00:54:02I used to think

00:54:02you were just unlucky.

00:54:04Now I realize

00:54:05you genuinely disgust me.

00:54:11I froze where I stood.

00:54:15Elena burst into tears

00:54:16and buried herself

00:54:17in our mother's arms.

00:54:18She had a pair

00:54:19of noble golden eyes.

00:54:21Pale,

00:54:21delicate,

00:54:22and fragile.

00:54:23She looked like

00:54:23the most innocent

00:54:24sainty continent.

00:54:26Sister,

00:54:26I know you've always

00:54:27been jealous of me,

00:54:28but Karen is my fiancé.

00:54:30My mother gently wiped away

00:54:31her tears

00:54:32before walking over to me.

00:54:33Then,

00:54:33with her own hands,

00:54:34she removed

00:54:35the silver moon crest

00:54:36pinned to my chest.

00:54:37It was the symbol

00:54:38of a wolf bride's status,

00:54:39and in all 15 years

00:54:40of my life,

00:54:41it was the only thing

00:54:42that had ever truly

00:54:43acknowledged my existence.

00:54:44I stared at her.

00:54:46Why?

00:54:46She leaned close to my ear,

00:54:48her voice so low

00:54:49that only I could hear it.

00:54:51Because Elena

00:54:52is far more suitable

00:54:53to be Luna.

00:54:55She has golden eyes.

00:54:57You're nothing but a stain.

00:55:01In that moment,

00:55:02I finally understood

00:55:03this wasn't an accident.

00:55:05It wasn't a misunderstanding.

00:55:07It was a trap

00:55:08they had prepared long ago.

00:55:10That moment,

00:55:11Elena suddenly wiped away

00:55:12her tears and stepped forward.

00:55:13The position of Luna

00:55:14of the silver moon wolf pack

00:55:15cannot remain vacant.

00:55:17It would only make us

00:55:17the laughingstock of everyone.

00:55:19Since my sister committed

00:55:20such a disgraceful offense,

00:55:21let me atone for her sins

00:55:23in her place.

00:55:23Ryan,

00:55:24if you're willing,

00:55:25I can complete this blood oath

00:55:26in my sister's stead.

00:55:27Ryan turned around

00:55:29and placed the blood crown,

00:55:30the symbol of the queen,

00:55:32upon Elena's head.

00:55:33The entire hall

00:55:34erupted in cheers.

00:55:36My sister wore my wedding gown,

00:55:38held my Grimm's hand,

00:55:40and stood in the place

00:55:41that should have been mine.

00:55:42And I was publicly sentenced

00:55:44by my own mother.

00:55:45At Selina,

00:55:45silver eyes has defiled

00:55:46the blood oath,

00:55:47stripped her of the wolf crest,

00:55:48and exiled her

00:55:49to the forbidden rift.

00:55:50She shall never return.

00:55:51As the temple knights

00:55:52dragged me down from the altar,

00:55:53Elena glanced at me,

00:55:54tears still lingued on her face,

00:55:55but the corners of her lips

00:55:56slowly curled forward.

00:56:00Fifteen years later,

00:56:01at the inheritance bankry

00:56:02of the Sacred Dominion Conforge,

00:56:04navels and power holders

00:56:05from all twelve clans

00:56:06gathered withneath one roof.

00:56:07They knelt before

00:56:08my dragonbone throne,

00:56:09competing to present

00:56:10moon tear crystal mines,

00:56:11territorial deeds,

00:56:12and bloodline oaths

00:56:13as tribute.

00:56:14None of them knew

00:56:15that the Empress

00:56:16of the Sacred Dominion,

00:56:18the woman who controlled

00:56:1980% of the continent's

00:56:20moon tear crystal mines,

00:56:23was the same silver-eyed outcast

00:56:26they had once trampled

00:56:27into the mud.

00:56:29Until my adopted son,

00:56:31Kyaris,

00:56:32walked into the Grand Hall

00:56:33holding a young woman's hand.

00:56:35She wore a silver-white

00:56:36formal gown.

00:56:37Her golden eyes

00:56:38shunned brightly,

00:56:39and pride radiated

00:56:41from her face.

00:56:42Her name was Ivy,

00:56:44Elena's daughter,

00:56:45and she bore the exact same face

00:56:46her mother had

00:56:47fifteen years ago.

00:56:48Kaio stopped before me,

00:56:49his tone unwavering.

00:56:50Mother,

00:56:51Ivy will become

00:56:52my blood oath mate.

00:56:53If you approve,

00:56:53we'll announce

00:56:54our engagement tonight.

00:56:55Every guest in the hall

00:56:56held their breath.

00:56:58Ivy lifted her chin slightly,

00:57:00waiting for me

00:57:00to bestow that honor upon her.

00:57:02She was the golden-eyed

00:57:03Saint-Gris

00:57:04of the Silvermoon Wolfpack,

00:57:06Ryan's most cherished daughter

00:57:07and Hera's

00:57:08favorite granddaughter.

00:57:09She was used to people

00:57:10lowering their heads

00:57:11the moment they saw her,

00:57:13but she had forgotten

00:57:14one thing.

00:57:14This was not

00:57:15the Silvermoon Wolfpack.

00:57:16This was the sacred

00:57:17Dominion who fought

00:57:18this was the throne

00:57:20I had clawed my way

00:57:21towards for fifteen years,

00:57:23inch by inch,

00:57:25through the bones

00:57:26and corpses

00:57:26of the Forbidden Rift.

00:57:28I looked at that face

00:57:29and remembered

00:57:30the wedding gown

00:57:30that had been torn apart

00:57:31fifteen years ago.

00:57:32I remembered the poison

00:57:34my mother had handed me.

00:57:35I remembered the cold look

00:57:36in Ryan's eyes.

00:57:38Then I set down

00:57:38my wine glass.

00:57:39The bass struck

00:57:40the Dragonbone armrest.

00:57:41The sound was not loud,

00:57:43yet the entire hall

00:57:43fell silence

00:57:44in an instant.

00:57:45I do not approve.

00:57:46I said,

00:57:47Kairos froze.

00:57:48Mother?

00:57:49The smile on Ivy's face

00:57:51stiffened.

00:57:51I raised my eyes to her.

00:57:53You will never become

00:57:54the mate of the

00:57:54Sacred Dominion's heir,

00:57:55not in this lifetime.

00:57:56The crowd instantly

00:57:58exploded into an uproar.

00:57:59Ivy's eyes reddened

00:58:00at once.

00:58:02Why?

00:58:02What makes me unworthy?

00:58:05I looked at her

00:58:06and smiled.

00:58:07Because the thing

00:58:08your mother stole

00:58:09fifteen years ago

00:58:10is finally going

00:58:11to be returned today.

00:58:14Ivy's face

00:58:15went completely pale.

00:58:17Kairos stepped

00:58:17in front of her,

00:58:18his brows drawn

00:58:19tightly together.

00:58:20Mother,

00:58:21Ivy didn't do

00:58:22anything wrong.

00:58:22The grudges of

00:58:23the previous generation

00:58:24shouldn't fall

00:58:24on her shoulders.

00:58:25I looked at him.

00:58:27Do you even know

00:58:28what happened

00:58:28fifteen years ago?

00:58:29Ivy spoke before he-

00:58:31My mother told me

00:58:31everything!

00:58:32Fifteen years ago

00:58:33you betrayed

00:58:34Alpha King Ryan

00:58:35and seduced Karen,

00:58:36my mother's fiancée.

00:58:37You were exiled

00:58:37because you committed

00:58:38a crime!

00:58:39She bit her lip,

00:58:40looking as though

00:58:41I were the one

00:58:41bullying her.

00:58:42But my mother

00:58:43always defended you.

00:58:44She said you were

00:58:45just too jealous of her.

00:58:47Muted whispers

00:58:48spread throughout the hall.

00:58:50Some of the older nobles

00:58:51lowered their heads.

00:58:52Back then,

00:58:53they had all stood

00:58:54with you at the moon

00:58:55goddess's altar.

00:58:56They had watched

00:58:56my wedding gown

00:58:57in green torn apart

00:58:58and they had watched

00:58:59Elena put on

00:58:59my bridal dress.

00:59:01They knew about that

00:59:01Scand,

00:59:02but they had never

00:59:03cared about the truth

00:59:04because the stories

00:59:05written by the victors

00:59:06were always clean

00:59:07and respectable.

00:59:08Before I could speak,

00:59:09the doors of the hall

00:59:09were suddenly pushed open.

00:59:11Ivy wasn't wrong.

00:59:12Everyone turned around.

00:59:14Elena had arrived.

00:59:15Fifteen years had passed

00:59:16yet she was still

00:59:17breathtakingly beautiful

00:59:18in that fragile way of hers.

00:59:20Her golden hair

00:59:20was pinned up

00:59:21behind her head

00:59:21and the royal crest

00:59:22of the silver moon

00:59:23wolf pack's luna

00:59:24was embroidered

00:59:25on her white cloak.

00:59:26Behind her stood

00:59:26Alpha King Ryan

00:59:27and Karen,

00:59:28the holy knight

00:59:29of the shadow leopard clan.

00:59:30Every person

00:59:31who had destroyed

00:59:32my life fifteen years ago

00:59:33had finally appeared

00:59:34before me once again.

00:59:36Elena's eyes stiffened

00:59:37for a certain second

00:59:38the moment she saw me.

00:59:39Sister,

00:59:41I never imagined

00:59:42the Empress

00:59:43of the Sacred Dominion

00:59:44would turn out

00:59:45to be you.

00:59:46She called me sister,

00:59:48but her tone

00:59:49sounded more like

00:59:50a reminder

00:59:50to everyone present

00:59:52that I had once

00:59:53been nothing more

00:59:54than the filthy

00:59:55silver-eyed outcast

00:59:56of the silver moon

00:59:57wolf pack.

00:59:59Caius frowned.

01:00:00Mother,

01:00:01you know them?

01:00:02I didn't answer.

01:00:03Ryan stepped forward.

01:00:05He still carried

01:00:06the same arrogance

01:00:07of an Alpha King,

01:00:08though the sharpness

01:00:09in his golden eyes

01:00:10was no longer

01:00:10what it had been.

01:00:12He looked at me

01:00:13and remained silent

01:00:14for a long moment.

01:00:17Selena.

01:00:21Hearing that name

01:00:21come from his lips

01:00:22almost made me laugh.

01:00:25Fifteen years ago

01:00:26he had used that name

01:00:26when he told me

01:00:27he loved me.

01:00:28Later,

01:00:29he had used the same voice

01:00:30to say that I disgusted him.

01:00:31And now he wanted

01:00:32to use that name again

01:00:33pretending there were

01:00:34still unresolved feelings

01:00:35between us.

01:00:36I spoke calmly.

01:00:38Your Majesty,

01:00:39this is a private banquet

01:00:40of the Sacred

01:00:41Domanian Consortium.

01:00:43You were not invited.

01:00:50Sister,

01:00:51if you're angry with me,

01:00:53then take it out on me.

01:00:55Why make things

01:00:56difficult for Ivy?

01:00:58She simply fell in love

01:00:59with Kairus.

01:01:01How interesting.

01:01:02I looked at her.

01:01:05Fifteen years ago,

01:01:06you also claimed

01:01:07that you had simply

01:01:08fallen in love

01:01:08with Ryan.

01:01:10Karen suddenly spoke,

01:01:12his voice called.

01:01:13Selena,

01:01:14what happened back then

01:01:15is already in the past.

01:01:16I turned to him.

01:01:17Of course it is.

01:01:19For you.

01:01:20After you woke up,

01:01:21all you had to do

01:01:22was call me shameless.

01:01:24But I had to spend

01:01:25fifteen years

01:01:26in the Forbibben Rift,

01:01:27carrying the crime

01:01:28you all forced onto me.

01:01:30Karen's throat bobbed.

01:01:31There was something

01:01:32complicated in his eyes.

01:01:33Pain,

01:01:34conflict,

01:01:35and a belated trace

01:01:36of doubt.

01:01:37But I didn't need it.

01:01:38Belated doubt

01:01:39was just like belated love.

01:01:41Both were worthless.

01:01:43Ryan took a deep breath.

01:01:45We didn't come here today

01:01:46to dig up the past.

01:01:48Ivy and Kai-itis

01:01:49love each other.

01:01:50An alliance

01:01:51between our two clans

01:01:52would benefit

01:01:53the sacred dimension

01:01:54as well.

01:01:55Selena,

01:01:56don't let personal grudges

01:01:57interfere with the bigger picture.

01:01:58I gently set down

01:02:00my wine glass.

01:02:01You're lecturing me

01:02:01about the bigger picture?

01:02:03Ryan frowned.

01:02:04I lifted a hand

01:02:05and the attendant behind me

01:02:07unfurled a black

01:02:08and gold contract scroll.

01:02:10It was covered

01:02:10with the markings

01:02:11of moon-tier crystal veins.

01:02:13My voice wasn't loud.

01:02:14Everyone heard it clearly.

01:02:16The Sacred Dominion

01:02:17Commodum controls

01:02:18eighty percent

01:02:18of the continent's

01:02:19moon-tier crystal mines.

01:02:20Last year,

01:02:21seventy percent

01:02:22of the Silvermoon Wolfpack's

01:02:23military supplies,

01:02:24potions,

01:02:24and room array maintenance

01:02:25came from

01:02:26Sacred Dominion resources.

01:02:29Ryan,

01:02:30you're standing

01:02:31on my territory,

01:02:32living off my mines,

01:02:34and still expecting

01:02:36me to prioritize

01:02:37your bigger picture.

01:02:43Ryan's expression

01:02:44instantly dartened.

01:02:46For the first time,

01:02:47panic flashed

01:02:48Kostot Ivy's face.

01:02:49She grabbed

01:02:50Kyos' hand.

01:02:51Kyos,

01:02:52say something!

01:02:53Mother,

01:02:53do you really

01:02:54have to do this?

01:02:55Kyros looked at me,

01:02:56and for the first time,

01:02:57there was anger

01:02:58in his eyes.

01:02:59Do what?

01:03:00I asked.

01:03:02Expose the truth

01:03:03in front of everyone?

01:03:05Or refuse to hand over

01:03:06the life's work

01:03:07I've built

01:03:07to my enemy's daughter?

01:03:09Kyros lowered his voice.

01:03:12Ivy isn't her mother.

01:03:14Neither are you me.

01:03:15You don't have the right

01:03:16to forgive them

01:03:17on my behalf.

01:03:18I fixed my gaze on him.

01:03:19The moment those words

01:03:20left my mouth,

01:03:21the last trace of hesitation

01:03:22vanished from Kyros' face.

01:03:24He took Ivy's hand

01:03:24and turned to face

01:03:25the guests.

01:03:26If Mother refuses

01:03:26to give us her blessing,

01:03:27then I'll make

01:03:28the announcement myself.

01:03:29I, Kyros,

01:03:30as the heir of the

01:03:30sacred Dimangin,

01:03:31choose Ivy

01:03:31as my blood oath mate.

01:03:33From this night forward,

01:03:34anyone who humiliates her

01:03:35becomes my enemy.

01:03:36The entire hall

01:03:36fell silent.

01:03:37A flash of triumph

01:03:38crossed Elena's eyes.

01:03:39Even Ryan slowly

01:03:40looked pleased.

01:03:40Kyros,

01:03:41I knew you wouldn't

01:03:41abandon me.

01:03:42Crying,

01:03:43Ivy threw herself

01:03:44into Kyros' arms.

01:03:45I watched them

01:03:45and suddenly felt tired,

01:03:47not heartbroken,

01:03:48just tired of it all.

01:03:50I raised my hand.

01:03:52Bring me the blood oath scroll.

01:03:53Hope lit up

01:03:54in at Kyros' eyes.

01:03:56Mother,

01:03:56you agree?

01:03:57I smiled.

01:03:58Of course.

01:04:00Before Ivy

01:04:00could even breathe

01:04:01a sigh of relief,

01:04:02I finished the sentence.

01:04:03I agree to sever

01:04:04the blood oath

01:04:05between us

01:04:05as mother and son.

01:04:07The smile

01:04:07on Kyata's face frozen.

01:04:09What did you say?

01:04:10An attendant

01:04:11brought over

01:04:12a black parchment scroll.

01:04:13It was no ordinary contract.

01:04:16Someone recognized it,

01:04:17their voice trembling.

01:04:21The soul-severation blood oath.

01:04:23Once it's signed,

01:04:24blood ties,

01:04:25inheritance rights,

01:04:25and family protection

01:04:26are all permanently cut off.

01:04:41On the day of my wedding,

01:04:42my mother tore my wedding gown apart

01:04:44in front of every noble present.

01:04:45Raising the moon goddess

01:04:47sepulor high,

01:04:48she brought it crashing down

01:04:49toward me,

01:04:50sending me sprawling

01:04:52across the ground.

01:04:52Selina is not worthy

01:04:54of becoming

01:04:55the new Alpha King's bride.

01:04:57A deathly silence

01:04:58fell over the hall.

01:04:58I was the rejected

01:04:59silver-eyed daughter

01:05:00of the Silvermoon Wolfpack.

01:05:02Today,

01:05:02as long as I completed

01:05:03the blood oath

01:05:04with the newly crowned

01:05:05Alpha King, Ryan,

01:05:06I would become his Luna,

01:05:07the queen of all werewolves.

01:05:09But my biological mother,

01:05:11Hera,

01:05:11the most revered

01:05:12High Priestress

01:05:13of the Temple of Light,

01:05:14publicly declared,

01:05:16Last night,

01:05:17she seduced Karen,

01:05:19the Shadow Pletha clan's

01:05:20holy knight,

01:05:21and her sister Elena's fiancée.

01:05:24The crowd instantly erupted.

01:05:26I knew those silver eyes

01:05:27were filthy.

01:05:28She actually dared

01:05:29to betray the Alpha King?

01:05:31Drive her out

01:05:32of the Silvermoon Pack!

01:05:34A chill spread through

01:05:36my entire body

01:05:37as I stared at my mother.

01:05:40What are you talking about?

01:05:42Last night,

01:05:43she had personally handed me

01:05:45a cup of blessed potion.

01:05:47She had smiled and said,

01:05:49Drink this,

01:05:50and the Moon Goddess

01:05:51will bless you and Ryan

01:05:52with a bond

01:05:53that can never be broken.

01:05:55But when I woke up,

01:05:56the man lying beside me

01:05:58wasn't Ryan.

01:05:58It was at Karen.

01:06:00Both of us had been drugged.

01:06:01I wanted to explain,

01:06:02but Karen had already

01:06:03thrown on his cloak.

01:06:05His eyes were filled

01:06:06with nothing but disgust.

01:06:08Selina,

01:06:09I've never met a woman

01:06:09as shameless as you.

01:06:10You'd even go after

01:06:11your own sister's fiancée!

01:06:12Then Karen staggered backward

01:06:14until he reached Elena's side.

01:06:16His eyes were red

01:06:18as he looked at her.

01:06:19I've been tainted.

01:06:21You're so pure.

01:06:24I no longer deserve

01:06:25to marry you.

01:06:26Below the altar,

01:06:28Ryan stood motionless.

01:06:29He had once told me

01:06:30that even if the entire world

01:06:32despised my silver eyes,

01:06:34he would still marry me.

01:06:36But now,

01:06:37the way he looked at me

01:06:38was no different

01:06:39from looking at something filthy.

01:06:42I rushed down from the altar

01:06:43and grabbed his hand.

01:06:45Ryan,

01:06:46someone set me up.

01:06:48There was something wrong

01:06:49with that potion.

01:06:50It was Mother!

01:06:51Enough!

01:06:52He shook me off,

01:06:54his voice horsey.

01:06:56Selina and I used to think

01:06:58you were just unlucky.

01:06:59Now I realize

01:07:01you genuinely disgust me.

01:07:06I froze where I stood.

01:07:10Elena burst into tears

01:07:11and buried herself

01:07:12in our mother's arms.

01:07:14She had a pair of

01:07:14noble golden eyes.

01:07:16Pale,

01:07:17delicate,

01:07:17and fragile.

01:07:18She looked like

01:07:19the most innocent

01:07:19sainty continent.

01:07:21Sister,

01:07:22I know you've always

01:07:23been jealous of me,

01:07:24but Karen is my fiancé.

01:07:25My mother gently wiped away

01:07:26her tears before

01:07:27walking over to me.

01:07:28Then,

01:07:29with her own hands,

01:07:30she removed the

01:07:30silver moon crest

01:07:31pinned to my chest.

01:07:32It was the symbol

01:07:33of a wolf bride's status,

01:07:34and in all 15 years

01:07:36of my life,

01:07:36it was the only thing

01:07:37that had ever truly

01:07:38acknowledged my existence.

01:07:39I stared at her.

01:07:41Why?

01:07:42She leaned close

01:07:42to my ear,

01:07:43her voice so low

01:07:45that only I could hear it.

01:07:46Because Elena

01:07:47is far more suitable

01:07:49to be Luna.

01:07:50She has golden eyes.

01:07:52You're nothing

01:07:53but a stain.

01:07:56In that moment,

01:07:57I finally understood

01:07:59this wasn't an accident.

01:08:01It wasn't a misunderstanding.

01:08:02It was a trap

01:08:03they had prepared

01:08:04long ago.

01:08:05That moment,

01:08:06Elena suddenly wiped

01:08:07away her tears

01:08:07and stepped forward.

01:08:08The position of Luna

01:08:09of the silver moon wolf pack

01:08:10cannot remain vacant.

01:08:12It would only make us

01:08:13the laughingstock

01:08:13of everyone.

01:08:14Since my sister

01:08:15committed such a

01:08:15disgraceful offense,

01:08:17let me atone

01:08:17for her sins

01:08:18in her place.

01:08:19Ryan,

01:08:19if you're willing,

01:08:20I can complete

01:08:21this blood oath

01:08:21in my sister's stead.

01:08:23Ryan turned around

01:08:24and placed the blood crown,

01:08:25the symbol of the queen,

01:08:27upon Elena's head.

01:08:28The entire hall

01:08:29erupted in cheers.

01:08:31My sister wore

01:08:32my wedding gown,

01:08:33held my Grimm's hand,

01:08:35and stood in the place

01:08:36that should have been mine.

01:08:37And I was publicly

01:08:38sentenced by my own mother.

01:08:40At Selina,

01:08:40silver eyes

01:08:41has defiled the blood oath.

01:08:42Strip her of the wolf crest

01:08:43and exiled her

01:08:44to the forbidden rift.

01:08:45She shall never return.

01:08:46As the temple knights

01:08:47dragged me down

01:08:47from the altar,

01:08:48Elena glanced at me,

01:08:49tears still lingoned

01:08:50on her face,

01:08:51but the corners of her lips

01:08:52slowly curled forward.

01:08:55Fifteen years later,

01:08:56at the inheritance bankry

01:08:57of the sacred

01:08:58Dominion Conforge,

01:08:59Nabals and power holders

01:09:00from all twelve clans

01:09:01gathered withneath

01:09:02one roof.

01:09:02They knelt before

01:09:03my dragonbone throne,

01:09:04competing to present

01:09:05moon tear crystal mines,

01:09:06territorial deeds,

01:09:07and bloodline oves

01:09:08as tribute.

01:09:09None of them knew

01:09:10that the Empress

01:09:11of the sacred Dominion,

01:09:13the woman who controlled

01:09:14eighty percent

01:09:15of the continent's

01:09:16moon tear crystal mines,

01:09:18was the same

01:09:19silver-eyed outcast

01:09:21they had once

01:09:22trampled into the mud.

01:09:24Until my adopted son,

01:09:26Kyaris,

01:09:27walked into the grand hall

01:09:28holding a young woman's hand.

01:09:30She wore a silver-white

01:09:31formal gown.

01:09:33Her golden eyes

01:09:34shunned brightly,

01:09:35and pride radiated

01:09:37from her face.

01:09:38Her name was Ivy,

01:09:39Elena's daughter,

01:09:40and she bore the exact

01:09:41same face her mother

01:09:42had fifteen years ago.

01:09:43Kyio stopped before me,

01:09:44his tone unwavering.

01:09:46Mother,

01:09:46Ivy will become

01:09:47my blood oath mate.

01:09:48If you approve,

01:09:49we'll announce

01:09:49our engagement tonight.

01:09:50Every guest in the hall

01:09:52held their breath.

01:09:53Ivy lifted her chin

01:09:54slightly,

01:09:55waiting for me

01:09:56to bestow that honor

01:09:57upon her.

01:09:57She was the golden-eyed

01:09:59saint-cress

01:09:59of the silver-moon wolf pack,

01:10:01Ryan's most cherished daughter

01:10:03and Hera's

01:10:03favorite granddaughter.

01:10:04She was used to people

01:10:05lowering their heads

01:10:06the moment they saw her,

01:10:08but she had forgotten

01:10:09one thing.

01:10:10This was not

01:10:10the silver-moon wolf pack.

01:10:12This was the sacred

01:10:13dominion conformity.

01:10:14This was the throne

01:10:15I had clawed my way

01:10:16towards for fifteen years,

01:10:19inch by inch,

01:10:20through the bones

01:10:21and corpses

01:10:22of the forbidden rift.

01:10:23I looked at that face

01:10:24and remembered

01:10:25the wedding gown

01:10:26that had been torn apart

01:10:27fifteen years ago.

01:10:28I remembered the poison

01:10:29my mother had handed me.

01:10:30I remembered the cold look

01:10:32in Ryan's eyes.

01:10:33Then I set down

01:10:34my wine glass.

01:10:35The bass struck

01:10:35the dragonbone armrest.

01:10:37The sound was not loud,

01:10:38yet the entire hall

01:10:39fell silence in an instant.

01:10:40I do not approve.

01:10:42I said,

01:10:43Kairos froze.

01:10:44Mother?

01:10:44The smile on Ivy's face

01:10:46stiffened.

01:10:47I raised my eyes to her.

01:10:48You will never become

01:10:49the mate of the

01:10:50sacred dominion's heir,

01:10:51not in this lifetime.

01:10:52The crowd instantly

01:10:53exploded into an uproar.

01:10:54Ivy's eyes reddened

01:10:56at once.

01:10:57Why?

01:10:58What makes me unworthy?

01:11:01I looked at her

01:11:02and smiled.

01:11:02Because the thing

01:11:03your mother stole

01:11:04fifteen years ago

01:11:05is finally going

01:11:07to be returned today.

01:11:09Ivy's face

01:11:10went completely pale.

01:11:12Kairos stepped

01:11:12in front of her,

01:11:13his brows drawn

01:11:14tightly together.

01:11:15Mother,

01:11:16Ivy didn't do

01:11:17anything wrong.

01:11:18The grudges

01:11:18of the previous generation

01:11:19shouldn't fall

01:11:20on her shoulders.

01:11:21I looked at him.

01:11:22Do you even know

01:11:23what happened

01:11:23fifteen years ago?

01:11:24Ivy spoke before he-

01:11:26My mother told me

01:11:27everything!

01:11:28Fifteen years ago

01:11:28you betrayed

01:11:29Alpha King Ryan

01:11:30and seduced Karen,

01:11:31my mother's fiancée.

01:11:32You were exiled

01:11:33because you committed

01:11:33a crime!

01:11:34She bit her lip,

01:11:35looking as though

01:11:36I were the one

01:11:36bullying her.

01:11:37But my mother

01:11:38always defended you.

01:11:39She said you were

01:11:40just too jealous of her.

01:11:42Muted whispers

01:11:43spread throughout the hall.

01:11:45Some of the older

01:11:46nobles lowered their heads.

01:11:47Back then,

01:11:48they had all stood

01:11:49within the moon goddess's altar.

01:11:51They had watched

01:11:51my wedding gown

01:11:52in being torn apart

01:11:53and they had watched

01:11:54Elena put on

01:11:55my bridal dress.

01:11:56They knew about that scant,

01:11:57but they had never

01:11:58cared about the truth

01:11:59because the stories

01:12:00written by the victors

01:12:01were always clean

01:12:02and respectable.

01:12:03Before I could speak,

01:12:04the doors of the hall

01:12:05were suddenly pushed open.

01:12:06Ivy wasn't wrong.

01:12:08Everyone turned around.

01:12:09Elena had arrived.

01:12:10Fifteen years had passed,

01:12:12yet she was still

01:12:12dreptakingly beautiful

01:12:13in that fragile way of hers.

01:12:15Her golden hair

01:12:15was pinned up

01:12:16behind her head

01:12:17and the royal crest

01:12:18of the silver moon wolf

01:12:19Pax Luna

01:12:19was embroidered

01:12:20on her white cloak.

01:12:21Behind her stood

01:12:22Alpha King Ryan

01:12:23and Karen,

01:12:24the holy knight

01:12:24of the Shadow Leopard clan.

01:12:26Every person

01:12:26who had destroyed

01:12:27my life fifteen years ago

01:12:28had finally appeared

01:12:29before me once again.

01:12:31Elena's eyes stiffened

01:12:32for a certain second

01:12:33the moment she saw me.

01:12:34Sister,

01:12:36I never imagined

01:12:38the Empress

01:12:38of the Sacred Dominion

01:12:40would turn out

01:12:40to be you.

01:12:41She called me sister,

01:12:43but her tone

01:12:44sounded more like

01:12:45a reminder

01:12:46to everyone present

01:12:47that I had once

01:12:48been nothing more

01:12:49than the filthy

01:12:50silver-eyed outcast

01:12:52of the silver moon wolf pack.

01:12:54Caius frowned.

01:12:56Mother,

01:12:57you know them?

01:12:58I didn't answer.

01:12:59Ryan stepped forward.

01:13:01He still carried

01:13:01the same arrogance

01:13:02of an Alpha King,

01:13:03though the sharpness

01:13:04in his golden eyes

01:13:05was no longer

01:13:06what it had been.

01:13:07He looked at me

01:13:08and remained silent

01:13:09for a long moment.

01:13:12Selena.

01:13:16Hearing that name

01:13:17come from his lips

01:13:18almost made me laugh.

01:13:20Fifteen years ago

01:13:21he had used that name

01:13:22when he told me

01:13:22he loved me.

01:13:23Later,

01:13:24he had used the same voice

01:13:25to say that I disgusted him.

01:13:27And now he wanted

01:13:28to use that name again,

01:13:29pretending there were still

01:13:29unresolved feelings

01:13:30between us.

01:13:31I spoke calmly.

01:13:33Your Majesty,

01:13:34this is a private banquet

01:13:36of the Sacred Dominion

01:13:37consortium.

01:13:38You were not invited.

01:13:46Sister,

01:13:47if you're angry with me,

01:13:48then take it out on me.

01:13:50Why make things

01:13:51difficult for Ivy?

01:13:53She simply fell in love

01:13:55with Kairos.

01:13:56How interesting.

01:13:58I looked at her.

01:14:00Fifteen years ago,

01:14:01you also claimed

01:14:02that you had simply

01:14:03fallen in love with Ryan.

01:14:05Karen suddenly spoke,

01:14:07his voice called.

01:14:08Selina,

01:14:09what happened back then

01:14:10is already in the past.

01:14:11I turned to him.

01:14:13Of course it is.

01:14:14For you.

01:14:15After you woke up,

01:14:17all you had to do

01:14:17was call me shameless.

01:14:19But I had to spend

01:14:20fifteen years

01:14:21in the Forbibbon Rift,

01:14:22carrying the crime

01:14:23you all forced onto me.

01:14:25Karen's throat bobbed.

01:14:26There was something

01:14:27complicated in his eyes.

01:14:29Pain,

01:14:30conflict,

01:14:30and a belated trace of doubt.

01:14:32But I didn't need it.

01:14:34Belated doubt

01:14:34was just like belated love.

01:14:36Both were worthless.

01:14:38Ryan took a deep breath.

01:14:40We didn't come here today

01:14:41to dig up the past.

01:14:43Ivy and Kyaitis

01:14:45love each other.

01:14:45An alliance between

01:14:47our two clans

01:14:47would benefit

01:14:48the sacred dimension as well.

01:14:50Selina,

01:14:51don't let personal grudges

01:14:52interfere with the bigger picture.

01:14:54I gently set down

01:14:55my wine glass.

01:14:56You're lecturing me

01:14:57about the bigger picture?

01:14:58Ryan frowned.

01:15:00I lifted a hand

01:15:01and the attendant behind me

01:15:02unfurled a black

01:15:03and gold contract scroll.

01:15:05It was covered

01:15:06with the markings

01:15:06of moon-tier crystal veins.

01:15:08My voice wasn't loud.

01:15:09Everyone heard it clearly.

01:15:11The sacred dominion

01:15:12comodum controls

01:15:1380% of the continent's

01:15:14moon-tier crystal mines.

01:15:16Last year,

01:15:1670% of the silver moon

01:15:17wolf pack's military supplies,

01:15:19potions,

01:15:20and room array maintenance

01:15:21came from sacred

01:15:22dominion resources.

01:15:24Ryan,

01:15:25you're standing

01:15:26on my territory,

01:15:27living off my mines,

01:15:29and still expecting me

01:15:31to prioritize

01:15:32your bigger picture.

01:15:39Ryan's expression

01:15:40instantly dartened.

01:15:41For the first time,

01:15:42panic flashed

01:15:43across out Ivy's face.

01:15:45She grabbed Kyos' hand.

01:15:46Kyos, say something!

01:15:48Mother,

01:15:48do you really have to do this?

01:15:50Kyos looked at me,

01:15:51and for the first time,

01:15:52there was anger

01:15:53in his eyes.

01:15:54Do what?

01:15:56I asked.

01:15:57Expose the truth

01:15:58in front of everyone?

01:16:00Or refuse to hand over

01:16:01the life's work

01:16:02I've built

01:16:03to my enemy's daughter?

01:16:04Kyos lowered his voice.

01:16:07Ivy isn't her mother.

01:16:09Neither are you me.

01:16:10You don't have the right

01:16:11to forgive them

01:16:12on my behalf.

01:16:13I fixed my gaze on him.

01:16:14The moment those words

01:16:15left my mouth,

01:16:16the last trace of hesitation

01:16:17vanished from Kyos' face.

01:16:19He took Ivy's hand

01:16:20and turned to face the guests.

01:16:21If Mother refuses

01:16:21to give us her blessing,

01:16:22then I'll make

01:16:23the announcement myself.

01:16:24I, Kyos,

01:16:25as the heir of the sacred

01:16:26Dimangin,

01:16:26choose Ivy

01:16:27as my blood oath mate.

01:16:28From this night forward,

01:16:29anyone who humiliates her

01:16:30becomes my enemy.

01:16:31The entire hall fell silent.

01:16:32A flash of triumph

01:16:33crossed Elena's eyes.

01:16:34Even Ryan slowly

01:16:35looked pleased.

01:16:36Kyos, I knew you

01:16:36wouldn't abandon me.

01:16:37Crying,

01:16:38Ivy threw herself

01:16:39into Kyos' arms.

01:16:40I watched them

01:16:41and suddenly felt tired,

01:16:42not heartbroken,

01:16:44just tired of it all.

01:16:45I raised my hand.

01:16:47Bring me the blood oath scroll.

01:16:49Hope lit up

01:16:50in Ak Kairos' eyes.

01:16:51Mother, you agree?

01:16:52I smiled.

01:16:54Of course.

01:16:55Before Ivy could even

01:16:56breathe a sigh of relief,

01:16:57I finished the sentence.

01:16:58I agree to sever

01:16:59the blood oath

01:17:00between us

01:17:00as mother and son.

01:17:02The smile on Kyota's face

01:17:03frozen.

01:17:04What did you say?

01:17:05An attendant brought over

01:17:07a black parchment scroll.

01:17:08It was no ordinary contract.

01:17:11Someone recognized it,

01:17:13their voice trembling.

01:17:16The soul-severation

01:17:18blood oath.

01:17:18Once it's signed,

01:17:19blood ties,

01:17:20inheritance rights,

01:17:21and family protection

01:17:21are all permanently cut off.

01:17:24What?
