Transcript

00:00:00On the day of my wedding, my mother tore my wedding gown apart in front of every noble present.

00:00:05Raising the moon goddess Seppler high, she brought it crashing down toward me,

00:00:10sending me sprawling across the ground.

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

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

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

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

00:00:26I would become his Luna, the queen of all werewolves.

00:00:28But my biological mother, Hera, the most revered high priestess of the Temple of Light,

00:00:34publicly declared,

00:00:36Last night, she seduced Karen, the Shadow Pletha clan's holy knight, and her sister Elena's fiancée.

00:00:43The crowd instantly erupted.

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

00:00:48She actually dared to betray the Alpha King?

00:00:51Drive her out of the Silvermoon Pack!

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

00:01:00What are you talking about?

00:01:02Last night, she had personally handed me a cup of blessed potion.

00:01:07She had smiled and said,

00:01:08Drink this, and the moon goddess will bless you and Ryan with a bond that can never be broken.

00:01:14But when I woke up, the man lying beside me wasn't Ryan.

00:01:18It was at Karen.

00:01:19Both of us had been drugged.

00:01:21I wanted to explain, but Karen had already thrown on his cloak.

00:01:24His eyes were filled with nothing but disgust.

00:01:28Selina, I've never met a woman as shameless as you.

00:01:30You'd even go after your own sister's fiancée!

00:01:32Then Karen staggered backward until he reached Elena's side.

00:01:36His eyes were red as he looked at her.

00:01:38I've been tainted.

00:01:41You're so pure.

00:01:43I no longer deserve to marry you.

00:01:46Below the altar, Ryan stood motionless.

00:01:49He had once told me that even if the entire world despised my silver eyes,

00:01:53he would still marry me.

00:01:55But now, the way he looked at me was no different from looking at something filthy.

00:02:01I rushed down from the altar and grabbed his hand.

00:02:05Ryan, someone set me up.

00:02:07There was something wrong with that potion.

00:02:09It was Mother!

00:02:10Enough!

00:02:12He shook me off, his voice horsey.

00:02:16Selina and I used to think you were just unlucky.

00:02:19Now I realize you genuinely disgust me.

00:02:26I froze where I stood.

00:02:30Elena burst into tears and buried herself in our mother's arms.

00:02:33She had a pair of noble golden eyes.

00:02:35Pale, delicate, and fragile.

00:02:38She looked like the most innocent, sainty continent.

00:02:40Sister, I know you've always been jealous of me, but Karen is my fiancée.

00:02:45My mother gently wiped away her tears before walking over to me.

00:02:48Then, with her own hands, she removed the silver moon crest pinned to my chest.

00:02:52It was the symbol of a wolf bride's status.

00:02:54And in all fifteen years of my life,

00:02:56it was the only thing that had ever truly acknowledged my existence.

00:02:59I stared at her.

00:03:01Why?

00:03:01She leaned close to my ear,

00:03:03her voice so low that only I could hear it.

00:03:06Because Elena is far more suitable to be Luna.

00:03:10She has golden eyes.

00:03:12You're nothing but a stain.

00:03:15In that moment,

00:03:17I finally understood.

00:03:19This wasn't an accident.

00:03:20It wasn't a misunderstanding.

00:03:22It was a trap they had prepared long ago.

00:03:25That moment,

00:03:25Elena suddenly wiped away her tears and stepped forward.

00:03:28Position of Luna of the silver moon wolf pack cannot remain vacant.

00:03:32It would only make us the laughingstock of everyone.

00:03:34Since my sister committed such a disgraceful offense,

00:03:36let me atone for her sins in her place.

00:03:38Ryan,

00:03:39if you're willing,

00:03:40I can conflate this blood oath in my sister's stead.

00:03:42Ryan turned around and placed the blood crown,

00:03:45the symbol of the queen,

00:03:47upon Elena's head.

00:03:48The entire hall erupted in cheers.

00:03:51My sister wore my wedding gown,

00:03:53held my Grimm's hand,

00:03:54and stood in the place that should have been mine.

00:03:57And I was publicly sentenced by my own mother.

00:03:59At Selina,

00:04:00silver eyes has defiled the blood oath,

00:04:02stripped her of the wolf crest,

00:04:03and exiled her to the forbidden rift.

00:04:05She shall never return.

00:04:06As the temple knights dragged me down from the altar,

00:04:08Elena glanced at me,

00:04:09tears still lingued on her face,

00:04:10but the corners of her lips slowly curled forward.

00:04:14Fifteen years later,

00:04:16at the inheritance bankery of the Sacred Dominion Conforge,

00:04:19navels and power holders from all twelve clans

00:04:21gathered withneath one roof.

00:04:22They knelt before my dragonbone throne,

00:04:24competing to present moon-tear crystal mines,

00:04:26territorial deeds,

00:04:27and bloodline oaths as tribute.

00:04:29None of them knew that the Empress of the Sacred Dominion,

00:04:32the woman who controlled 80% of the continent's moon-tear crystal mines,

00:04:38was the same silver-eyed outcast

00:04:40they had once trampled into the mud.

00:04:43Until my adopted son,

00:04:45Kyaris,

00:04:46walked into the grand hall

00:04:48holding a young woman's hand.

00:04:50She wore a silver-white formal gown.

00:04:52Her golden eyes shunned brightly,

00:04:54and pride radiated from her face.

00:04:57Her name was Ivy,

00:04:59Elena's daughter,

00:04:59and she bore the exact same face

00:05:01her mother had fifteen years ago.

00:05:03Kaio stopped before me,

00:05:04his tone unwavering.

00:05:05Mother,

00:05:06Ivy will become my blood oath mate.

00:05:08If you approve,

00:05:08we'll announce our engagement tonight.

00:05:10Every guest in the hall held their breath.

00:05:12Ivy lifted her chin slightly,

00:05:14waiting for me to bestow that honor upon her.

00:05:17She was the golden-eyed saint-gris of the Silvermoon Wolfpack,

00:05:21Ryan's most cherished daughter and Hera's favorite granddaughter.

00:05:24She was used to people lowering their heads the moment they saw her,

00:05:27but she had forgotten one thing.

00:05:29This was not the Silvermoon Wolfpack.

00:05:31This was the sacred dominion conformity.

00:05:33This was the throne I had clawed my way towards for fifteen years,

00:05:38inch by inch,

00:05:40through the bones and corpses of the Forbidden Rift.

00:05:43I looked at that face and remembered the wedding gown that had been torn apart fifteen years ago.

00:05:47I remembered the poison my mother had handed me.

00:05:50I remembered the cold look in Ryan's eyes.

00:05:52Then I set down my wine glass.

00:05:54The bass struck the dragonbone armrest.

00:05:56The sound was not loud,

00:05:57yet the entire hall fell silence in an instant.

00:06:00I do not approve.

00:06:01I said,

00:06:02Kairos froze.

00:06:03Mother?

00:06:04The smile on Ivy's face stiffened.

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

00:06:08You will never become the mate of the sacred dominion's heir,

00:06:10not in this lifetime.

00:06:11The crowd instantly exploded into an uproar.

00:06:14Ivy's eyes reddened at once.

00:06:16Why?

00:06:17What makes me unworthy?

00:06:20Ivy!

00:06:21I looked at her and smiled.

00:06:22Because the thing your mother stole fifteen years ago

00:06:25is finally going to be returned today.

00:06:29Ivy's face went completely pale.

00:06:32Kairos stepped in front of her,

00:06:33his brows drawn tightly together.

00:06:35Mother,

00:06:35Ivy didn't do anything wrong.

00:06:37The grudges of the previous generation shouldn't fall on her shoulders.

00:06:40I looked at him.

00:06:42Do you even know what happened fifteen years ago?

00:06:44Ivy spoke before he-

00:06:46My mother told me everything!

00:06:47Fifteen years ago,

00:06:48you betrayed Alpha King Ryan

00:06:49and seduced Karen,

00:06:50my mother's fiancée.

00:06:52You were exiled because you committed a crime!

00:06:54She bit her lip,

00:06:55looking as though I were the one bullying her.

00:06:57But my mother always defended you.

00:06:59She said you were just too jealous of her.

00:07:02Muted whispers spread throughout the hall.

00:07:04Some of the older nobles lowered their heads.

00:07:07Back then,

00:07:08they had all stood beneath the moon goddess's altar.

00:07:10They had watched my wedding gown ending torn apart,

00:07:13and they had watched Elena put on my bridal dress.

00:07:15They knew about that scammed,

00:07:17but they had never cared about the truth,

00:07:19because the stories written by the victors

00:07:21were always clean and respectable.

00:07:22Before I could speak,

00:07:23the doors of the hall were suddenly pushed open.

00:07:25Ivy wasn't wrong.

00:07:27Everyone turned around.

00:07:29Elena had arrived.

00:07:30Fifteen years had passed,

00:07:31yet she was still breathtakingly beautiful

00:07:33in that fragile way of hers.

00:07:34Her golden hair was pinned up behind her head,

00:07:36and the royal crest of the Silvermoon Wolfpax Luna

00:07:39was embroidered on her white cloak.

00:07:40Behind her stood Alpha King Ryan,

00:07:42and Karen the Holy Knight of the Shadow Leopard Clan.

00:07:45Every person who had destroyed my life fifteen years ago

00:07:48had finally appeared before me once again.

00:07:50Elena's eyes stiffened for a certain second

00:07:53the moment she saw me.

00:07:54Sister,

00:07:56I never imagined the Empress of the Sacred Dominion

00:07:59would turn out to be you.

00:08:01She called me sister.

00:08:02But her tone sounded more like a reminder

00:08:05to everyone present

00:08:06that I had once been nothing more

00:08:09than the filthy, silver-eyed outcast

00:08:11of the Silvermoon Wolfpack.

00:08:13Caius frowned.

00:08:15Mother,

00:08:16you know them?

00:08:17I didn't answer.

00:08:19Ryan stepped forward.

00:08:20He still carried the same arrogance of an Alpha King,

00:08:23though the sharpness in his golden eyes

00:08:25was no longer what it had been.

00:08:27He looked at me and remained silent for a long moment.

00:08:32Selina.

00:08:35Hearing that name come from his lips

00:08:37almost made me laugh.

00:08:39Fifteen years ago,

00:08:41he had used that name

00:08:41when he told me he loved me.

00:08:43Later,

00:08:44he had used the same voice

00:08:45to say that I disgusted him.

00:08:46And now he wanted to use that name again,

00:08:48pretending there were still

00:08:49unresolved feelings between us.

00:08:51I spoke calmly.

00:08:53Your Majesty,

00:08:54this is a private banquet

00:08:55of the Sacred Dominion Consortium.

00:08:58You were not invited.

00:09:05Sister,

00:09:06if you're angry with me,

00:09:08then take it out on me.

00:09:10Why make things difficult for Ivy?

00:09:12She simply fell in love with Kairus.

00:09:16How interesting.

00:09:17I looked at her.

00:09:20Fifteen years ago,

00:09:21you also claimed

00:09:22that you had simply fallen in love with Ryan.

00:09:25Karen suddenly spoke.

00:09:27His voice called,

00:09:28Selina.

00:09:28What happened back then

00:09:30is already in the past.

00:09:31I turned to him.

00:09:32Of course it is.

00:09:34For you.

00:09:35After you woke up,

00:09:36all you had to do

00:09:37was call me shameless.

00:09:38But I had to spend

00:09:40fifteen years

00:09:41in the Forbibbon Rift,

00:09:42carrying the crime

00:09:43you all forced onto me.

00:09:44Karen's throat bobbed.

00:09:46There was something

00:09:47complicated in his eyes.

00:09:48Pain,

00:09:49conflict,

00:09:50and a belated trace of doubt.

00:09:52But I didn't need it.

00:09:53Belated doubt

00:09:54was just like belated love.

00:09:56Both were worthless.

00:09:58Ryan took a deep breath.

00:10:00We didn't come here today

00:10:01to dig up the past.

00:10:03Ivy and Kai-itis

00:10:04love each other.

00:10:05An alliance between our two clans

00:10:07would benefit

00:10:08the Sacred Dimension as well.

00:10:10Selina,

00:10:11don't let personal grudges

00:10:12interfere with the bigger picture.

00:10:13I gently set down my wine glass.

00:10:16You're lecturing me

00:10:16about the bigger picture?

00:10:18Ryan frowned.

00:10:19I lifted a hand

00:10:20and the attendant behind me

00:10:22unfurled a black and gold

00:10:23contract scroll.

00:10:24It was covered with the markings

00:10:26of moon-tier crystal veins.

00:10:28My voice wasn't loud.

00:10:29Everyone heard it clearly.

00:10:31The Sacred Dominion Commodium

00:10:32controls 80% of the continent's

00:10:34moon-tier crystal mines.

00:10:35Last year,

00:10:3670% of the Silvermoon Wolfpack's

00:10:38military supplies,

00:10:39potions,

00:10:39and room array maintenance

00:10:40came from Sacred Dominion resources.

00:10:44Ryan,

00:10:45you're standing on my territory,

00:10:47living off my mines,

00:10:49and still expecting me

00:10:51to prioritize your bigger picture.

00:10:58Ryan's expression

00:10:59instantly darted.

00:11:01For the first time,

00:11:02panic flashed

00:11:03cost out Ivy's face.

00:11:04She grabbed

00:11:05Kyos' hand.

00:11:06Kyos,

00:11:07say something!

00:11:08Mother,

00:11:08do you really have to do this?

00:11:10Kyros looked at me,

00:11:11and for the first time,

00:11:12there was anger in his eyes.

00:11:14Do what?

00:11:15I asked.

00:11:17Expose the truth

00:11:18in front of everyone?

00:11:19Or refuse to hand over

00:11:21the life's work

00:11:22I've built

00:11:22to my enemy's daughter?

00:11:24Kyros lowered his voice.

00:11:26Ivy

00:11:27isn't her mother.

00:11:29Neither are you me.

00:11:30You don't have the right

00:11:31to forgive them on my behalf.

00:11:33I fixed my gaze on him.

00:11:34The moment those words

00:11:34left my mouth,

00:11:36the last trace of hesitation

00:11:37vanished from Kyros' face.

00:11:38He took Ivy's hand

00:11:39and turned to face the guests.

00:11:40If Mother refuses

00:11:41to give us her blessing,

00:11:42then I'll make the announcement myself!

00:11:44I, Kyros,

00:11:44as the heir of the Sacred Dominion,

00:11:46choose Ivy

00:11:46as my blood oath mate.

00:11:48From this night forward,

00:11:49anyone who humiliates her

00:11:50becomes my enemy.

00:11:51The entire hall fell silent.

00:11:52A flash of triumph

00:11:53crossed Elena's eyes.

00:11:54Even Ryan slowly looked pleased.

00:11:55Kyros,

00:11:56I knew you wouldn't abandon me!

00:11:57Crying,

00:11:58Ivy threw herself

00:11:58into Kyros' arms.

00:12:00I watched them

00:12:00and suddenly felt tired.

00:12:02Not heartbroken,

00:12:03just tired of it all.

00:12:05I raised my hand.

00:12:06Bring me the blood oath scroll.

00:12:08Hope lit up

00:12:09in at Kyros' eyes.

00:12:11Mother, you agree?

00:12:12I smiled.

00:12:13Of course.

00:12:15Before Ivy

00:12:15could even breathe

00:12:16a sigh of relief,

00:12:17I finished the sentence.

00:12:18I agree to sever

00:12:19the blood oath

00:12:19between us

00:12:20as mother and son.

00:12:22The smile on Kyata's face frozen.

00:12:24What did you say?

00:12:25An attendant brought over

00:12:26a black parchment scroll.

00:12:28It was no ordinary contract.

00:12:30Someone recognized it,

00:12:32their voice trembling.

00:12:36The soul-severation blood oath.

00:12:38Once it's signed,

00:12:39blood ties,

00:12:40inheritance rights,

00:12:40and family protection

00:12:41are all permanently cut off.

00:12:44On the day of my wedding,

00:12:46my mother tore my wedding gown apart

00:12:47in front of every noble present.

00:12:49Raising the moon goddess

00:12:50Seppler high,

00:12:51she brought it

00:12:52crashing down toward me,

00:12:54sending me sprawling

00:12:55across the ground.

00:12:57Selina is not worthy

00:12:58of becoming

00:12:58the new alpha king's bride.

00:13:00A deathly silence

00:13:01fell over the hall.

00:13:02I was the rejected

00:13:03silver-eyed daughter

00:13:04of the silver moon wolf pack.

00:13:05Today,

00:13:06as long as I completed

00:13:07the blood oath

00:13:08with the newly crowned

00:13:08alpha king, Ryan,

00:13:10I would become his Luna,

00:13:11the queen of all werewolves.

00:13:12But my biological mother,

00:13:14Hera,

00:13:15the most revered

00:13:16high priestess

00:13:17of the Temple of Light,

00:13:18publicly declared,

00:13:19Last night,

00:13:21she seduced Karen,

00:13:23the Shadow Pletha clan's

00:13:24holy knight,

00:13:25and her sister Elena's fiancée.

00:13:27The crowd instantly erupted.

00:13:29I knew those silver eyes

00:13:31were filthy.

00:13:32She actually dared

00:13:33to betray the alpha king?

00:13:35Drive her out

00:13:36of the silver moon pack!

00:13:38A chill spread through

00:13:40my entire body

00:13:41as I stared at my mother.

00:13:44What are you talking about?

00:13:46Last night,

00:13:47she had personally

00:13:48handed me a cup

00:13:49of blessed potion.

00:13:51She had smiled and said,

00:13:52Drink this,

00:13:53and the moon goddess

00:13:55will bless you and Ryan

00:13:56with a bond

00:13:57that can never be broken.

00:13:59But when I woke up,

00:14:00the man lying beside me

00:14:01wasn't Ryan.

00:14:02It was at Karen.

00:14:03Both of us had been drugged.

00:14:05I wanted to explain,

00:14:06but Karen had already

00:14:07thrown on his cloak.

00:14:08His eyes were filled

00:14:09with nothing but disgust.

00:14:12Selina,

00:14:12I've never met a woman

00:14:13as shameless as you.

00:14:14You'd even go after

00:14:14your own sister's fiancée?

00:14:15Then Karen staggered backward

00:14:18until he reached

00:14:18Elena's side.

00:14:20His eyes were red

00:14:21as he looked at her.

00:14:23I've been tainted.

00:14:25You're so pure.

00:14:27I no longer deserve

00:14:29to marry you.

00:14:30Below the altar,

00:14:31Ryan stood motionless.

00:14:33He had once told me

00:14:34that even if the entire world

00:14:35despised my silver eyes,

00:14:37he would still marry me.

00:14:39But now,

00:14:41the way he looked at me

00:14:42was no different

00:14:43from looking at something filthy.

00:14:45I rushed down

00:14:46from the altar

00:14:47and grabbed his hand.

00:14:49Ryan,

00:14:50someone set me up.

00:14:51There was something wrong

00:14:52with that potion.

00:14:53It was Mother!

00:14:54Enough!

00:14:56He shook me off,

00:14:58his voice horsey.

00:15:00Selina and I used to think

00:15:01you were just unlucky.

00:15:03Now I realize

00:15:04you genuinely disgust me.

00:15:10I froze where I stood.

00:15:14Elena burst into tears

00:15:15and buried herself

00:15:16in our mother's arms.

00:15:17She had a pair

00:15:18of noble golden eyes.

00:15:20Pale,

00:15:20delicate,

00:15:21and fragile.

00:15:22She looked like

00:15:22the most innocent

00:15:23saintly continent.

00:15:24Sister,

00:15:25I know you've always

00:15:26been jealous of me,

00:15:27but Karen is my fiancée.

00:15:29My mother gently wiped away

00:15:30her tears

00:15:30before walking over to me.

00:15:32Then,

00:15:32with her own hands,

00:15:33she removed

00:15:34the silver moon crest

00:15:35pinned to my chest.

00:15:36It was the symbol

00:15:37of a wolf bride's status,

00:15:38and in all fifteen years

00:15:39of my life,

00:15:40it was the only thing

00:15:41that had ever truly

00:15:42acknowledged my existence.

00:15:43I stared at her.

00:15:44Why?

00:15:45She leaned close

00:15:46to my ear,

00:15:47her voice so low

00:15:48that only I could hear it.

00:15:50Because Elena

00:15:51is far more suitable

00:15:52to be Luna.

00:15:54She has golden eyes.

00:15:56You're nothing

00:15:56but a stain.

00:15:59In that moment,

00:16:01I finally understood.

00:16:03This wasn't an accident.

00:16:04It wasn't a misunderstanding.

00:16:06It was a trap

00:16:07they had prepared long ago.

00:16:09That moment,

00:16:09Elena suddenly wiped away

00:16:11her tears

00:16:11and stepped forward.

00:16:12The position of Luna

00:16:13of the silver moon wolf pack

00:16:14cannot remain vacant.

00:16:16It would only make us

00:16:16the laughingstock of everyone.

00:16:18Since my sister committed

00:16:19such a disgraceful offense,

00:16:20let me atone

00:16:21for her sins in her place.

00:16:22Ryan,

00:16:23if you're willing,

00:16:24I can conflate

00:16:25this blood oath

00:16:25in my sister's stead.

00:16:26Ryan turned around

00:16:27and placed the blood crown,

00:16:29the symbol of the queen,

00:16:31upon Elena's head.

00:16:32The entire hall

00:16:33erupted in cheers.

00:16:35My sister wore

00:16:36my wedding gown,

00:16:37held my Grim's hand,

00:16:38and stood in the place

00:16:40that should have been mine.

00:16:41And I was publicly

00:16:42sentenced by my own mother.

00:16:43At Selena,

00:16:44silver eyes

00:16:44has defiled the blood oath.

00:16:46Strip her of the wolf crest

00:16:47and exiled her

00:16:48to the forbidden rift.

00:16:49She shall never return.

00:16:50As the temple knights

00:16:50dragged me down

00:16:51from the altar,

00:16:52Elena glanced at me,

00:16:53tears still lingued

00:16:54on her face,

00:16:54but the corners of her lips

00:16:55slowly curled

00:16:56forward.

00:16:58Fifteen years later,

00:17:00at the inheritance bankery

00:17:01of the Sacred Dominion

00:17:02Conforge,

00:17:03navels and power holders

00:17:04from all twelve clans

00:17:05gathered withneath one roof.

00:17:06They knelt before

00:17:07my dragonbone throne,

00:17:08competing to present

00:17:09moon-tear crystal mines,

00:17:10territorial deeds,

00:17:11and bloodline oves

00:17:12as tribute.

00:17:13None of them knew

00:17:14that the Empress

00:17:14of the Sacred Dominion,

00:17:17the woman who controlled

00:17:18eighty percent

00:17:18of the continent's

00:17:19moon-tear crystal mines,

00:17:22was the same silver-eyed

00:17:24outcasts they had once

00:17:25trampled into the mud.

00:17:27Until my adopted son,

00:17:29Kyaris,

00:17:30walked into the Grand Hall

00:17:32holding a young woman's hand.

00:17:34She wore a silver-white

00:17:35formal gown.

00:17:36Her golden eyes

00:17:37shunned brightly,

00:17:38and pride radiated

00:17:40from her face.

00:17:41Her name was Ivy,

00:17:43Elena's daughter,

00:17:43and she bore the exact

00:17:44same face her mother

00:17:45had fifteen years ago.

00:17:47Kaio stopped before me,

00:17:48his tone unwavering.

00:17:49Mother,

00:17:50Ivy will become

00:17:50my blood oath mate.

00:17:52If you approve,

00:17:52we'll announce

00:17:53our engagement tonight.

00:17:54Every guest in the hall

00:17:55held their breath.

00:17:56Ivy lifted her chin slightly,

00:17:59waiting for me

00:17:59to bestow that honor

00:18:00upon her.

00:18:01She was the golden-eyed

00:18:02saint-gris

00:18:03of the Silvermoon Wolfpack,

00:18:05Ryan's most cherished daughter

00:18:06and Hera's favorite

00:18:07granddaughter.

00:18:08She was used to people

00:18:09lowering their heads

00:18:10the moment they saw her,

00:18:12but she had forgotten

00:18:12one thing.

00:18:13This was not

00:18:14the Silvermoon Wolfpack.

00:18:15This was the sacred

00:18:16Dominion Confort.

00:18:17This was the throne

00:18:19I had clawed my way

00:18:20towards for fifteen years,

00:18:22inch by inch,

00:18:24through the bones

00:18:24and corpses

00:18:25of the forbidden rift.

00:18:27I looked at that face

00:18:28and remembered

00:18:28the wedding gown

00:18:29that had been torn apart

00:18:30fifteen years ago.

00:18:31I remembered the poison

00:18:32my mother had handed me.

00:18:34I remembered the cold look

00:18:35in Ryan's eyes.

00:18:36Then I set down

00:18:37on my wine glass.

00:18:38The bass struck

00:18:39the dragonbone armrest.

00:18:40The sound was not loud,

00:18:41yet the entire hall

00:18:42fell silence in an instant.

00:18:44I do not approve.

00:18:45I said,

00:18:46Kairos froze.

00:18:47Mother?

00:18:48The smile on Ivy's face

00:18:50stiffened.

00:18:50I raised my eyes to her.

00:18:52You will never become

00:18:53the mate of the sacred

00:18:53Dominion's heir,

00:18:54not in this lifetime.

00:18:55The crowd instantly

00:18:56exploded into an uproar.

00:18:58Ivy's eyes reddened

00:18:59opened at once.

00:19:00Why?

00:19:01What makes me unworthy?

00:19:04I looked at her

00:19:05and smiled.

00:19:06Because the thing

00:19:07your mother stole

00:19:08fifteen years ago

00:19:09is finally going

00:19:10to be returned today.

00:19:13Ivy's face

00:19:14went completely pale.

00:19:16Kairos stepped

00:19:16in front of her,

00:19:17his brows drawn

00:19:18tightly together.

00:19:19Mother,

00:19:19Ivy didn't do

00:19:20anything wrong.

00:19:21The grudges

00:19:22of the previous generation

00:19:23shouldn't fall

00:19:23on her shoulders.

00:19:24I looked at him.

00:19:26Do you even know

00:19:26what happened

00:19:27fifteen years ago?

00:19:28Ivy spoke before he-

00:19:30My mother told me

00:19:30everything!

00:19:31Fifteen years ago

00:19:32you betrayed

00:19:33Alpha King Ryan

00:19:33and seduced Karen,

00:19:34my mother's fiancée.

00:19:36You were exiled

00:19:36because you committed

00:19:37a crime!

00:19:38She bit her lip,

00:19:39looking as though

00:19:39I were the one

00:19:40bullying her.

00:19:41But my mother

00:19:42always defended you.

00:19:43She said you were

00:19:44just too jealous of her.

00:19:46Muted whispers

00:19:47spread throughout the hall.

00:19:49Some of the older

00:19:49nobles lowered their heads.

00:19:51Back then,

00:19:52they had all stood

00:19:53with the moon goddess's altar.

00:19:54They had watched

00:19:55my wedding gown

00:19:56ending torn apart

00:19:57and they had watched

00:19:58Elena put on

00:19:58my bridal dress.

00:19:59They knew about that

00:20:00scanned,

00:20:01but they had never

00:20:02cared about the truth

00:20:03because the stories

00:20:04written by the victors

00:20:05were always clean

00:20:05and respectable.

00:20:06Before I could speak,

00:20:07the doors of the hall

00:20:08were suddenly pushed open.

00:20:09Ivy wasn't wrong.

00:20:11Everyone turned around.

00:20:13Elena had arrived.

00:20:14Fifteen years had passed

00:20:15yet she was still

00:20:16dreptakingly beautiful

00:20:17in that fragile way of hers.

00:20:18Her golden hair

00:20:19was pinned up

00:20:20behind her head

00:20:20and the royal crest

00:20:21of the silver moon

00:20:22wolf pack's luna

00:20:23was embroidered

00:20:23on her white cloak.

00:20:25Behind her stood

00:20:25Alpha King Ryan

00:20:26and Karen

00:20:27the holy knight

00:20:28of the shadow leopard clan.

00:20:29Every person

00:20:30who had destroyed

00:20:30my life fifteen years ago

00:20:32had finally appeared

00:20:33before me once again.

00:20:34Elena's eyes stiffened

00:20:36for a certain second

00:20:37the moment she saw me.

00:20:38Sister,

00:20:40I never imagined

00:20:41the Empress

00:20:42of the Sacred Dominion

00:20:43would turn out

00:20:44to be you.

00:20:45She called me sister,

00:20:47but her tone

00:20:48sounded more like

00:20:49a reminder

00:20:49to everyone present

00:20:50that I had once

00:20:52been nothing more

00:20:53than the filthy

00:20:54silver-eyed outcast

00:20:55of the silver moon

00:20:56wolf pack.

00:20:58Caius frowned.

00:20:59Mother,

00:21:00you know them?

00:21:01I didn't answer.

00:21:03Ryan stepped forward.

00:21:04He still carried

00:21:05the same arrogance

00:21:06of an Alpha King,

00:21:07though the sharpness

00:21:08in his golden eyes

00:21:09was no longer

00:21:09what it had been.

00:21:11He looked at me

00:21:12and remained silent

00:21:13for a long moment.

00:21:15Selina.

00:21:19Hearing that name

00:21:20come from his lips

00:21:21almost made me laugh.

00:21:23Fifteen years ago

00:21:24he had used that name

00:21:25when he told me

00:21:26he loved me.

00:21:27Later,

00:21:28he had used the same voice

00:21:29to say that I disgusted him.

00:21:30And now he wanted

00:21:31to use that name again,

00:21:32pretending there were

00:21:33still unresolved feelings

00:21:34between us.

00:21:35I spoke calmly.

00:21:37Your Majesty,

00:21:38this is a private banquet

00:21:39of the Sacred Dominion

00:21:40consortium.

00:21:42You were not invited.

00:21:49Sister,

00:21:50if you're angry with me,

00:21:52then take it out on me.

00:21:54Why make things

00:21:55difficult for Ivy?

00:21:56She simply fell

00:21:58in love with Kairos.

00:22:00How interesting.

00:22:01I looked at her.

00:22:03Fifteen years ago,

00:22:05you also claimed

00:22:06that you had simply

00:22:06fallen in love with Ryan.

00:22:09Karen suddenly spoke,

00:22:11his voice called,

00:22:12Selina.

00:22:12What happened back then

00:22:14is already in the past.

00:22:15I turned to him.

00:22:16Of course it is.

00:22:18For you.

00:22:19After you woke up,

00:22:20all you had to do

00:22:21was call me shameless.

00:22:22But I had to spend

00:22:24fifteen years

00:22:25in the Forbibbon Rift,

00:22:26carrying the crime

00:22:27you all forced onto me.

00:22:28Karen's throat bobbed.

00:22:30There was something

00:22:31complicated in his eyes.

00:22:32Pain,

00:22:33conflict,

00:22:34and a belated

00:22:35trace of doubt.

00:22:36But I didn't need it.

00:22:37Belated doubt

00:22:38was just like belated love.

00:22:40Both were worthless.

00:22:42Ryan took a deep breath.

00:22:44We didn't come here today

00:22:45to dig up the past.

00:22:47Ivy and Kyaitis

00:22:48love each other.

00:22:49An alliance between

00:22:50our two clans

00:22:51would benefit

00:22:52the sacred dimension

00:22:53as well.

00:22:54Selina,

00:22:55don't let personal grudges

00:22:56interfere with the

00:22:56bigger picture.

00:22:57I gently set down

00:22:59my wine glass.

00:23:00You're lecturing me

00:23:00about the bigger picture?

00:23:02Ryan frowned.

00:23:03I lifted a hand

00:23:04and the attendant behind me

00:23:06unfurled a black

00:23:07and gold contract scroll.

00:23:08It was covered

00:23:09with the markings

00:23:10of moon-tier crystal veins.

00:23:12My voice wasn't loud.

00:23:13Everyone heard it clearly.

00:23:15The sacred dominion

00:23:16comodum controls

00:23:1680% of the continent's

00:23:18moon-tier crystal mines.

00:23:19Last year,

00:23:2070% of the silver moon

00:23:21wolf pack's

00:23:22military supplies,

00:23:23potions,

00:23:23and room array maintenance

00:23:24came from sacred

00:23:25dominion resources.

00:23:28Ryan,

00:23:29you're standing

00:23:30on my territory,

00:23:31living off my mines,

00:23:33and still expecting me

00:23:35to prioritize

00:23:35your bigger picture.

00:23:42Ryan's expression

00:23:43instantly dartened.

00:23:45For the first time,

00:23:46panic flashed

00:23:47across Dot Ivy's face.

00:23:48She grabbed Kyos' hand.

00:23:50Kyos, say something!

00:23:52Mother,

00:23:52do you really have

00:23:53to do this?

00:23:54Kyos looked at me,

00:23:55and for the first time,

00:23:56there was anger

00:23:57in his eyes.

00:23:58Do what?

00:23:59I asked.

00:24:01Expose the truth

00:24:02in front of everyone?

00:24:03Or refuse to hand over

00:24:05the life's work

00:24:06I've built

00:24:06to my enemy's daughter?

00:24:08Kyos lowered his voice.

00:24:11Ivy isn't her mother.

00:24:13Neither are you me.

00:24:14You don't have the right

00:24:15to forgive them

00:24:16on my behalf.

00:24:16I fixed my gaze on him.

00:24:18The moment those words

00:24:19left my mouth,

00:24:19the last trace of hesitation

00:24:21vanished from Kyos' face.

00:24:22He took Ivy's hand

00:24:23and turned to face the guests.

00:24:24If Mother refuses

00:24:25to give us her blessing,

00:24:26then I'll make

00:24:26the announcement myself.

00:24:28I, Kyros,

00:24:28as the heir of the sacred

00:24:29Dimangin,

00:24:30choose Ivy

00:24:30as my blood oath mate.

00:24:32From this night forward,

00:24:33anyone who humiliates her

00:24:34becomes my enemy.

00:24:35The entire hall fell silent.

00:24:36A flash of triumph

00:24:37crossed Elena's eyes.

00:24:38Even Ryan slowly

00:24:39looked pleased.

00:24:39Kyos, I knew you

00:24:40wouldn't abandon me.

00:24:41Crying,

00:24:42Ivy threw herself

00:24:42into Kyos' arms.

00:24:44I watched them

00:24:44and suddenly felt tired.

00:24:46Not heartbroken,

00:24:47just tired of it all.

00:24:49I raised my hand.

00:24:50Bring me the blood oath scroll.

00:24:52Hope lit up

00:24:53in at Kyros' eyes.

00:24:55Mother, you agree?

00:24:56I smiled.

00:24:57Of course.

00:24:59Before Ivy could even

00:24:59breathe a sigh of relief,

00:25:01I finished the sentence.

00:25:02I agree to sever

00:25:03the blood oath

00:25:03between us

00:25:04as mother and son.

00:25:06The smile on Kyota's face

00:25:07frozen.

00:25:08What did you say?

00:25:09An attendant brought over

00:25:10a black parchment scroll.

00:25:12It was no ordinary contract.

00:25:14Someone recognized it,

00:25:16their voice trembling.

00:25:20The soul-severation

00:25:21blood oath.

00:25:22Once it's signed,

00:25:23blood ties,

00:25:24inheritance rights,

00:25:24and family protection

00:25:25are all permanently cut off.

00:25:28On the day of my wedding,

00:25:30my mother tore my wedding gown

00:25:31apart in front of

00:25:32every noble present.

00:25:33Raising the moon goddess

00:25:34seplar high,

00:25:35she brought it

00:25:36crashing down toward me,

00:25:38sending me sprawling

00:25:39across the ground.

00:25:41Selina is not worthy

00:25:42of becoming

00:25:42the new alpha king's bride.

00:25:44A deathly silence

00:25:45fell over the hall.

00:25:46I was the rejected

00:25:47silver-eyed daughter

00:25:48of the silver moon wolf pack.

00:25:49Today,

00:25:50as long as I completed

00:25:51the blood oath

00:25:52with the newly crowned

00:25:52alpha king, Ryan,

00:25:54I would become his Luna,

00:25:55the queen of all werewolves.

00:25:56But my biological mother,

00:25:58Hera,

00:25:59the most revered

00:26:00high priestess

00:26:01of the Temple of Light,

00:26:02publicly declared,

00:26:03Last night,

00:26:05she seduced Karen,

00:26:07the Shadow Pletha clan's

00:26:08holy knight,

00:26:09and her sister

00:26:10Elena's fiancée.

00:26:11The crowd instantly erupted.

00:26:13I knew those silver eyes

00:26:15were filthy.

00:26:16She actually dared

00:26:17to betray the alpha king?

00:26:19Drive her out

00:26:20of the silver moon pack!

00:26:22A chill spread through

00:26:24my entire body

00:26:25as I stared at my mother.

00:26:28What are you talking about?

00:26:30Last night,

00:26:31she had personally

00:26:32handed me a cup

00:26:33of blessed potion.

00:26:35She had smiled and said,

00:26:36Drink this,

00:26:38and the moon goddess

00:26:39will bless you and Ryan

00:26:40with a bond

00:26:41that can never be broken.

00:26:43But when I woke up,

00:26:44the man lying beside me

00:26:45wasn't Ryan.

00:26:46It was at Karen.

00:26:47Both of us had been drugged.

00:26:49I wanted to explain,

00:26:50but Karen had already

00:26:51thrown on his cloak.

00:26:52His eyes were filled

00:26:53with nothing but disgust.

00:26:56Selina,

00:26:56I've never met a woman

00:26:57as shameless as you.

00:26:58You'd even go after

00:26:58your own sister's fiancée?

00:26:59Then Karen staggered backward

00:27:01until he reached

00:27:03Elena's side.

00:27:04His eyes were red

00:27:05as he looked at her.

00:27:07I've been tainted.

00:27:09You're so pure.

00:27:11I no longer deserve

00:27:13to marry you.

00:27:14Below the altar,

00:27:15Ryan stood motionless.

00:27:17He had once told me

00:27:18that even if the entire world

00:27:19despised my silver eyes,

00:27:21he would still marry me.

00:27:23But now,

00:27:25the way he looked at me

00:27:26was no different

00:27:27from looking at

00:27:28something filthy.

00:27:29I rushed down

00:27:30from the altar

00:27:31and grabbed his hand.

00:27:33Ryan,

00:27:34someone set me up.

00:27:35There was something wrong

00:27:36with that potion.

00:27:37It was Mother!

00:27:38Enough!

00:27:40He shook me off,

00:27:42his voice horsey.

00:27:44Selina and I used to think

00:27:45you were just unlucky.

00:27:47Now I realize

00:27:48you genuinely disgust me.

00:27:54I froze where I stood.

00:27:58Elena burst into tears

00:27:59and buried herself

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

00:28:01She had a pair

00:28:02of noble golden eyes.

00:28:03Pale,

00:28:04delicate,

00:28:05and fragile.

00:28:06She looked like

00:28:06the most innocent

00:28:07sainty continent.

00:28:08Sister,

00:28:09I know you've always

00:28:10been jealous of me,

00:28:11but Karen is my fiancé.

00:28:13My mother gently wiped away

00:28:14her tears

00:28:14before walking over to me.

00:28:16Then,

00:28:16with her own hands,

00:28:17she removed the

00:28:18silver moon crest

00:28:19pinned to my chest.

00:28:20It was the symbol

00:28:21of a wolf bride's status,

00:28:22and in all fifteen years

00:28:23of my life,

00:28:24it was the only thing

00:28:25that had ever truly

00:28:26acknowledged my existence.

00:28:27I stared at her.

00:28:28Why?

00:28:29She leaned close to my ear,

00:28:31her voice so low

00:28:32that only I could hear it.

00:28:34Because Elena

00:28:35is far more suitable

00:28:36to be Luna.

00:28:38She has golden eyes.

00:28:40You're nothing but a stain.

00:28:43In that moment,

00:28:45I finally understood.

00:28:47This wasn't an accident.

00:28:48It wasn't a misunderstanding.

00:28:50It was a trap

00:28:51they had prepared long ago.

00:28:53That moment,

00:28:53Elena suddenly wiped away

00:28:55her tears

00:28:55and stepped forward.

00:28:56The position of Luna

00:28:57of the silver moon wolf pack

00:28:58cannot remain vacant.

00:29:00It would only make us

00:29:00the laughing stock

00:29:01of everyone.

00:29:02Since my sister committed

00:29:03such a disgraceful offense,

00:29:04let me atone for her sins

00:29:05in her place.

00:29:06Ryan,

00:29:07if you're willing,

00:29:08I can conflate this blood oath

00:29:09in my sister's stead.

00:29:10Ryan turned around

00:29:11and placed the blood crown,

00:29:13the symbol of the queen,

00:29:15upon Elena's head.

00:29:16The entire hall

00:29:17erupted in cheers.

00:29:19My sister wore my wedding gown,

00:29:21held my Grimm's hand,

00:29:22and stood in the place

00:29:24that should have been mine.

00:29:25And I was publicly sentenced

00:29:26by my own mother.

00:29:27At Selina,

00:29:28silver eyes

00:29:28has defiled the blood oath,

00:29:30stripped her of the wolf crest,

00:29:31and exiled her

00:29:32to the forbidden rift.

00:29:33She shall never return.

00:29:34As the temple knights

00:29:34dragged me down

00:29:35from the altar,

00:29:36Elena glanced at me,

00:29:37tears still lingoned

00:29:38on her face,

00:29:38but the corners of her lips

00:29:39slowly curled forward.

00:29:42Fifteen years later,

00:29:44at the inheritance bankery

00:29:45of the Sacred Dominion Conforge,

00:29:47navels and power holders

00:29:48from all twelve clans

00:29:49gathered withneath one roof.

00:29:50They knelt before

00:29:51my dragonbone throne,

00:29:52competing to present

00:29:53moon-tear crystal mines,

00:29:54territorial deeds,

00:29:55and bloodline oves

00:29:56as tribute.

00:29:57None of them knew

00:29:58that the Empress

00:29:58of the Sacred Dominion,

00:30:00the woman who controlled

00:30:02eighty percent

00:30:02of the continent's

00:30:03moon-tear crystal mines,

00:30:06was the same

00:30:07silver-eyed outcast

00:30:08they had once trampled

00:30:10into the mud.

00:30:11Until my adopted son,

00:30:13Kyaris,

00:30:14walked into the grand hall

00:30:16holding a young woman's hand.

00:30:18She wore a silver-white

00:30:19formal gown.

00:30:20Her golden eyes

00:30:21shunned brightly,

00:30:22and pride radiated

00:30:24from her face.

00:30:25Her name was Ivy,

00:30:26Elena's daughter,

00:30:27and she bore

00:30:28the exact same face

00:30:29her mother had

00:30:30fifteen years ago.

00:30:31Kaio stopped before me,

00:30:32his tone unwavering.

00:30:33Mother,

00:30:34Ivy will become

00:30:34my blood oath mate.

00:30:36If you approve,

00:30:36we'll announce

00:30:37our engagement tonight.

00:30:38Every guest in the hall

00:30:39held their breath.

00:30:40Ivy lifted her chin slightly,

00:30:42waiting for me

00:30:43to bestow that honor

00:30:44upon her.

00:30:45She was the golden-eyed

00:30:46saint-gris

00:30:47of the Silvermoon Wolfpack,

00:30:49Ryan's most cherished

00:30:50daughter and Hera's

00:30:51favorite granddaughter.

00:30:52She was used to people

00:30:53lowering their heads

00:30:54the moment they saw her,

00:30:55but she had forgotten

00:30:56one thing.

00:30:57This was not

00:30:58the Silvermoon Wolfpack.

00:30:59This was the sacred

00:31:00Dominion Confort.

00:31:01This was the throne

00:31:03I had clawed my way

00:31:04towards for fifteen years,

00:31:06inch by inch.

00:31:08through the bones

00:31:08and corpses

00:31:09of the Forbidden Rift.

00:31:11I looked at that face

00:31:12and remembered

00:31:12the wedding gown

00:31:13that had been torn apart

00:31:14fifteen years ago.

00:31:15I remembered the poison

00:31:16my mother had handed me.

00:31:18I remembered the cold look

00:31:19in Ryan's eyes.

00:31:20Then I set down

00:31:21my wine glass.

00:31:22The bass struck

00:31:23the Dragonbone armrest.

00:31:24The sound was not loud,

00:31:25yet the entire hall

00:31:26fell silence in an instant.

00:31:28I do not approve.

00:31:29I said,

00:31:30Kairos froze.

00:31:31Mother?

00:31:32The smile on Ivy's face

00:31:34stiffened.

00:31:34I raised my eyes to her.

00:31:36You will never become

00:31:37the mate of the

00:31:37Sacred Dominion's heir,

00:31:38not in this lifetime.

00:31:39The crowd instantly

00:31:40exploded into an uproar.

00:31:42Ivy's eyes reddened

00:31:43at once.

00:31:44Why?

00:31:45What makes me unworthy?

00:31:48I looked at her

00:31:49and smiled.

00:31:50Because the thing

00:31:51your mother stole

00:31:52fifteen years ago

00:31:53is finally going

00:31:54to be returned today.

00:31:57Ivy's face

00:31:58went completely pale.

00:32:00Kairos stepped

00:32:00in front of her,

00:32:01his brows drawn

00:32:02tightly together.

00:32:03Mother,

00:32:04Ivy didn't do

00:32:04anything wrong.

00:32:05The grudges

00:32:06of the previous

00:32:06generation

00:32:07shouldn't fall

00:32:07on her shoulders.

00:32:08I looked at him.

00:32:10Do you even know

00:32:10what happened

00:32:11fifteen years ago?

00:32:12Ivy spoke before he-

00:32:14My mother told me

00:32:14everything!

00:32:15Fifteen years ago

00:32:16you betrayed

00:32:17Alpha King Ryan

00:32:17and seduced Karen,

00:32:18my mother's fiancée.

00:32:20You were exiled

00:32:20because you committed

00:32:21a crime!

00:32:22She bit her lip,

00:32:23looking as though

00:32:23I were the one

00:32:24bullying her.

00:32:25But my mother

00:32:26always defended you.

00:32:27She said you were

00:32:28just too jealous of her.

00:32:30Muted whispers

00:32:31spread throughout the hall.

00:32:32Some of the older

00:32:33nobles lowered

00:32:34their heads.

00:32:35Back then,

00:32:36they had all stood

00:32:37with the moon goddess's

00:32:38altar.

00:32:38They had watched

00:32:39my wedding gown

00:32:40in being torn apart

00:32:41and they had watched

00:32:42Elena put on

00:32:42my bridal dress.

00:32:43They knew about

00:32:44that scanned,

00:32:45but they had never

00:32:46cared about the truth

00:32:47because the stories

00:32:48written by the victors

00:32:49were always clean

00:32:49and respectable.

00:32:51Before I could speak,

00:32:51the doors of the hall

00:32:52were suddenly pushed open.

00:32:53Ivy wasn't wrong.

00:32:55Everyone turned around.

00:32:57Elena had arrived.

00:32:58Fifteen years had passed,

00:32:59yet she was still

00:33:00breathtakingly beautiful

00:33:01in that fragile way

00:33:02of hers.

00:33:02Her golden hair

00:33:03was pinned up

00:33:04behind her head

00:33:04and the royal crest

00:33:05of the silver moon

00:33:06wolf pack's luna

00:33:07was embroidered

00:33:07on her white cloak.

00:33:08Behind her stood

00:33:09Alpha King Ryan

00:33:10and Karen,

00:33:11the holy knight

00:33:12of the shadow leopard clan.

00:33:13Every person

00:33:14who had destroyed

00:33:14my life fifteen years ago

00:33:16had finally appeared

00:33:17before me once again.

00:33:18Elena's eyes

00:33:19stiffened for a

00:33:20certain second

00:33:21the moment she saw me.

00:33:22Sister,

00:33:24I never imagined

00:33:25the Empress

00:33:26of the Sacred Dominion

00:33:27would turn out

00:33:28to be you.

00:33:29She called me sister.

00:33:31But her tone

00:33:32sounded more like

00:33:33a reminder

00:33:33to everyone present

00:33:34that I had once

00:33:36been nothing more

00:33:37than the filthy

00:33:38silver-eyed outcast

00:33:39of the silver moon

00:33:40wolf pack.

00:33:42Caius frowned.

00:33:43Mother,

00:33:44you know them?

00:33:45I didn't answer.

00:33:47Ryan stepped forward.

00:33:48He still carried

00:33:49the same arrogance

00:33:50of an Alpha King,

00:33:51though the sharpness

00:33:52in his golden eyes

00:33:53was no longer

00:33:53what it had been.

00:33:55He looked at me

00:33:56and remained silent

00:33:57for a long moment.

00:34:00Selina.

00:34:03Hearing that name

00:34:04come from his lips

00:34:05almost made me laugh.

00:34:07Fifteen years ago

00:34:08he had used that name

00:34:09when he told me

00:34:10he loved me.

00:34:11Later he had used

00:34:12the same voice

00:34:13to say that I

00:34:13disgusted him.

00:34:14And now he wanted

00:34:15to use that name again

00:34:16pretending there were

00:34:17still unresolved feelings

00:34:18between us.

00:34:19I spoke calmly.

00:34:21Your Majesty,

00:34:22this is a private banquet

00:34:23of the Sacred

00:34:24Dominion Consortium.

00:34:26You were not invited.

00:34:33Sister,

00:34:34if you're angry with me,

00:34:36then take it out on me.

00:34:38Why make things

00:34:39difficult for Ivy?

00:34:40She simply fell

00:34:42in love with Kairus.

00:34:44How interesting.

00:34:45I looked at her.

00:34:47Fifteen years ago,

00:34:49you also claimed

00:34:50that you had simply

00:34:50fallen in love

00:34:51with Ryan.

00:34:53Karen suddenly spoke,

00:34:55his voice called,

00:34:55Selina.

00:34:56What happened back then

00:34:58is already in the past.

00:34:59I turned to him.

00:35:00Of course it is.

00:35:02For you.

00:35:03After you woke up,

00:35:04all you had to do

00:35:05was call me shameless.

00:35:06But I had to spend

00:35:08fifteen years

00:35:09in the Forbibbon Rift,

00:35:10carrying the crime

00:35:11you all forced onto me.

00:35:12Karen's throat bobbed.

00:35:14There was something

00:35:15complicated in his eyes.

00:35:16Pain,

00:35:17conflict,

00:35:18and a belated

00:35:19trace of doubt.

00:35:20But I didn't need it.

00:35:21Belated doubt

00:35:22was just like

00:35:23belated love.

00:35:24Both were worthless.

00:35:26Ryan took a deep breath.

00:35:28We didn't come here today

00:35:29to dig up the past.

00:35:31Ivy and Kyaitis

00:35:32love each other.

00:35:33An alliance between

00:35:34our two clans

00:35:35would benefit

00:35:36the sacred dimension

00:35:37as well.

00:35:38Selina,

00:35:39don't let personal grudges

00:35:40interfere with the

00:35:40bigger picture.

00:35:41I gently set down

00:35:42my wine glass.

00:35:43You're lecturing me

00:35:44about the bigger picture?

00:35:46Ryan frowned.

00:35:47I lifted a hand

00:35:48and the attendant

00:35:49behind me

00:35:50unfurled a black

00:35:50and gold contract scroll.

00:35:52It was covered

00:35:53with the markings

00:35:54of moon-tier crystal veins.

00:35:56My voice wasn't loud.

00:35:57Everyone heard it clearly.

00:35:58The Sacred Dominion

00:36:00Commodum controls

00:36:0080% of the continent's

00:36:02moon-tier crystal mines.

00:36:03Last year,

00:36:0470% of the

00:36:05Silvermoon Wolfpack's

00:36:06military supplies,

00:36:07potions,

00:36:07and room array

00:36:08maintenance

00:36:08came from

00:36:09Sacred Dominion

00:36:10resources.

00:36:12Ryan,

00:36:13you're standing

00:36:14on my territory,

00:36:15living off my mines,

00:36:17and still expecting

00:36:18me to prioritize

00:36:19your bigger picture.

00:36:26Ryan's expression

00:36:27instantly dartened.

00:36:29For the first time,

00:36:30panic flashed

00:36:31across Dot Ivy's face.

00:36:32She grabbed

00:36:33Kyos' hand.

00:36:34Kyos,

00:36:35say something!

00:36:36Mother,

00:36:36do you really

00:36:36have to do this?

00:36:37Kyros looked at me,

00:36:39and for the first time,

00:36:40there was anger

00:36:41in his eyes.

00:36:41Do what?

00:36:44I asked.

00:36:45Expose the truth

00:36:46in front of everyone?

00:36:48Or refuse to hand

00:36:49over the life's work

00:36:50I've built

00:36:50to my enemy's daughter?

00:36:52Kyros lowered

00:36:53his voice.

00:36:54Ivy

00:36:55isn't her mother.

00:36:57Neither are you me.

00:36:58You don't have the right

00:36:59to forgive them

00:37:00on my behalf.

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

00:37:02The moment those words

00:37:03left my mouth,

00:37:04the last trace of hesitation

00:37:05vanished from Kyros' face.

00:37:06He took Ivy's hand

00:37:07and turned to face the guests.

00:37:08If Mother refuses

00:37:09to give us her blessing,

00:37:10then I'll make

00:37:10the announcement myself.

00:37:12I, Kyros,

00:37:12as the heir of the

00:37:13sacred Dimangin,

00:37:14choose Ivy

00:37:14as my blood oath mate.

00:37:16From this night forward,

00:37:17anyone who humiliates her

00:37:18becomes my enemy.

00:37:19The entire hall

00:37:19fell silent.

00:37:20A flash of triumph

00:37:21crossed Elena's eyes.

00:37:22Even Ryan slowly

00:37:23looked pleased.

00:37:23Kyros,

00:37:24I knew you wouldn't

00:37:24abandon me.

00:37:25Crying,

00:37:26Ivy threw herself

00:37:26into Kyros' arms.

00:37:28I watched them

00:37:28and suddenly felt tired.

00:37:30Not heartbroken,

00:37:31just tired of it all.

00:37:33I raised my hand.

00:37:34Bring me the blood oath scroll.

00:37:36Hope lit up

00:37:37in at Kyros' eyes.

00:37:39Mother,

00:37:39you agree?

00:37:40I smiled.

00:37:41Of course.

00:37:43Before Ivy could even

00:37:43breathe a sigh of relief,

00:37:45I finished the sentence.

00:37:46I agree to sever

00:37:47the blood oath

00:37:47between us

00:37:48as mother and son.

00:37:49The smile on

00:37:51Kyata's face frozen.

00:37:52What did you say?

00:37:53An attendant

00:37:54brought over

00:37:54a black parchment scroll.

00:37:56It was no ordinary contract.

00:37:59Someone recognized it,

00:38:00their voice trembling.

00:38:04The soul-severation

00:38:05blood oath.

00:38:06Once it's signed,

00:38:07blood ties,

00:38:08inheritance rights,

00:38:08and family protection

00:38:09are all permanently

00:38:10cut off.

00:38:12On the day of my wedding,

00:38:14my mother tore

00:38:14my wedding gown apart

00:38:15in front of

00:38:16every noble present.

00:38:17Raising the moon goddess

00:38:18seplar high,

00:38:19she brought it

00:38:20crashing down

00:38:21toward me,

00:38:22sending me sprawling

00:38:23across the ground.

00:38:25Selina is not worthy

00:38:26of becoming

00:38:26the new alpha king's bride.

00:38:28A deathly silence

00:38:29fell over the hall.

00:38:30I was the rejected

00:38:31silver-eyed daughter

00:38:32of the silver moon wolf pack.

00:38:33Today,

00:38:34as long as I completed

00:38:35the blood oath

00:38:36with the newly crowned

00:38:36alpha king, Ryan,

00:38:38I would become his Luna,

00:38:39the queen of all werewolves.

00:38:40But my biological mother,

00:38:42Hera,

00:38:43the most revered

00:38:44high priestess

00:38:45of the Temple of Light,

00:38:46publicly declared,

00:38:48Last night,

00:38:49she seduced Karen,

00:38:51the shadow Pletha clan's

00:38:52holy knight,

00:38:53and her sister

00:38:54Elena's fiancée.

00:38:55The crowd

00:38:56instantly erupted.

00:38:57I knew those silver eyes

00:38:59were filthy.

00:38:59She actually dared

00:39:01to betray the alpha king?

00:39:03Drive her out

00:39:04of the silver moon pack!

00:39:06A chill spread

00:39:07through my entire body

00:39:09as I stared

00:39:09at my mother.

00:39:12What are you talking about?

00:39:14Last night,

00:39:15she had personally

00:39:16handed me a cup

00:39:17of blessed potion.

00:39:18She had smiled

00:39:19and said,

00:39:20Drink this,

00:39:21and the moon goddess

00:39:23will bless you

00:39:24and Ryan

00:39:24with a bond

00:39:25that can never

00:39:26be broken.

00:39:26But when I woke up,

00:39:28the man lying beside me

00:39:29wasn't Ryan.

00:39:30It was at Karen.

00:39:31Both of us

00:39:32had been drugged.

00:39:33I wanted to explain,

00:39:34but Karen had already

00:39:35thrown on his cloak.

00:39:36His eyes were filled

00:39:37with nothing but disgust.

00:39:40Selina,

00:39:40I've never met a woman

00:39:41as shameless as you.

00:39:42You'd even go after

00:39:42your own sister's fiancée!

00:39:44Then Karen staggered backward

00:39:45until he reached

00:39:47Elena's side.

00:39:48His eyes were red

00:39:49as he looked at her.

00:39:50I've been tainted.

00:39:53You're so pure.

00:39:55I no longer deserve

00:39:57to marry you.

00:39:58Below the altar,

00:39:59Ryan stood motionless.

00:40:01He had once told me

00:40:02that even if the entire world

00:40:03despised my silver eyes,

00:40:05he would still marry me.

00:40:07But now,

00:40:09the way he looked at me

00:40:10was no different

00:40:11from looking at something filthy.

00:40:13I rushed down

00:40:14from the altar

00:40:15and grabbed his hand.

00:40:17Ryan,

00:40:18someone set me up.

00:40:19There was something wrong

00:40:20with that potion.

00:40:21It was Mother!

00:40:22Enough!

00:40:24He shook me off,

00:40:26his voice horsey.

00:40:28Selina and I used to think

00:40:29you were just unlucky.

00:40:31Now I realize

00:40:32you genuinely disgust me.

00:40:38I froze where I stood.

00:40:42Elena burst into tears

00:40:43and buried herself

00:40:44in our mother's arms.

00:40:45She had a pair of

00:40:46noble golden eyes.

00:40:48Pale,

00:40:48delicate,

00:40:49and fragile.

00:40:50She looked like

00:40:50the most innocent

00:40:51sainty continent.

00:40:53Sister,

00:40:53I know you've always

00:40:54been jealous of me,

00:40:55but Karen is my fiancé.

00:40:57My mother gently wiped away

00:40:58her tears before

00:40:59walking over to me.

00:41:00Then,

00:41:00with her own hands,

00:41:01she removed the

00:41:02silver moon crest

00:41:03pinned to my chest.

00:41:04It was the symbol

00:41:05of a wolf bride's status,

00:41:06and in all 15 years

00:41:07of my life,

00:41:08it was the only thing

00:41:09that had ever truly

00:41:10acknowledged my existence.

00:41:11I stared at her.

00:41:12Why?

00:41:13She leaned close

00:41:14to my ear,

00:41:15her voice so low

00:41:16that only I could hear it.

00:41:18Because Elena

00:41:19is far more suitable

00:41:20to be Luna.

00:41:22She has golden eyes.

00:41:24You're nothing

00:41:24but a stain.

00:41:27In that moment,

00:41:29I finally understood.

00:41:31This wasn't an accident.

00:41:32It wasn't a misunderstanding.

00:41:34It was a trap

00:41:35they had prepared

00:41:36long ago.

00:41:37That moment,

00:41:37Elena suddenly wiped away

00:41:39her tears and stepped forward.

00:41:40The position of Luna

00:41:41of the silver moon wolf pack

00:41:42cannot remain vacant.

00:41:44It would only make us

00:41:44the laughingstock of everyone.

00:41:46Since my sister committed

00:41:47such a disgraceful offense,

00:41:48let me atone for her sins

00:41:49in her place.

00:41:50Ryan,

00:41:51if you're willing,

00:41:52I can conflate this blood oath

00:41:53in my sister's stead.

00:41:54Ryan turned around

00:41:55and placed the blood crown,

00:41:57the symbol of the queen,

00:41:59upon Elena's head.

00:42:00The entire hall

00:42:01erupted in cheers.

00:42:03My sister wore my wedding gown,

00:42:05held my green suit,

00:42:06hand,

00:42:07and stood in the place

00:42:08that should have been mine.

00:42:09And I was publicly sentenced

00:42:10by my own mother.

00:42:11At Selina,

00:42:12silver eyes has defiled

00:42:13the blood oath.

00:42:14Strip her of the wolf crest

00:42:15and exiled her

00:42:16to the forbidden rift.

00:42:17She shall never return.

00:42:18As the temple knights

00:42:18dragged me down

00:42:19from the altar,

00:42:20Elinina glanced at me,

00:42:21tears still lingoned

00:42:22on her face,

00:42:22but the corners of her lips

00:42:23slowly curled forward.

00:42:27Fifteen years later,

00:42:28at the inheritance bankery

00:42:29of the sacred dominion

00:42:30Conforge,

00:42:31Nabals and power holders

00:42:32from all twelve clans

00:42:33gathered with neath one roof.

00:42:34They knelt before

00:42:35my dragonbone throne

00:42:36competing to present

00:42:37moon tear crystal mines,

00:42:38territorial deeds,

00:42:39and bloodline oves

00:42:40as tribute.

00:42:41None of them knew

00:42:42that the empress

00:42:43of the sacred dominion,

00:42:44the woman who controlled

00:42:46eighty percent

00:42:46of the continent's

00:42:47moon tear crystal mines,

00:42:50was the same

00:42:51silver-eyed outcast

00:42:52they had once

00:42:53trampled into the mud.

00:42:55Until my adopted son,

00:42:57Kyaris,

00:42:58walked into the grand hall

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

00:43:01She wore a silver-white

00:43:03formal gown.

00:43:04Her golden eyes

00:43:05shunned brightly,

00:43:06and pride radiated

00:43:08from her face.

00:43:09Her name was Ivy,

00:43:11Elena's daughter,

00:43:11and she bore the exact

00:43:12same face her mother

00:43:13had fifteen years ago.

00:43:15Kyos stopped before me,

00:43:16his tone unwavering.

00:43:17Mother,

00:43:18Ivy will become

00:43:18my blood oath mate.

00:43:20If you approve,

00:43:20we'll announce

00:43:21our engagement tonight.

00:43:22Every guest in the hall

00:43:23held their breath.

00:43:24Ivy lifted her chin

00:43:26slightly,

00:43:26waiting for me

00:43:27to bestow that honor

00:43:28upon her.

00:43:29She was the golden-eyed

00:43:30saint-gris of the

00:43:31silver-moon wolf pack,

00:43:33Ryan's most cherished

00:43:34daughter and

00:43:34Hera's favorite

00:43:35granddaughter.

00:43:36She was used to people

00:43:37lowering their heads

00:43:38the moment they saw her,

00:43:40but she had forgotten

00:43:40one thing.

00:43:41This was not the

00:43:42silver-moon wolf pack.

00:43:43This was the

00:43:44sacred dominion

00:43:45conformity.

00:43:46This was the throne

00:43:47I had clawed my way

00:43:48towards for fifteen years,

00:43:50inch by inch,

00:43:52through the bones

00:43:52and corpses

00:43:53of the forbidden rift.

00:43:55I looked at that face

00:43:56and remembered the

00:43:57wedding gown that had

00:43:57been torn apart

00:43:58fifteen years ago.

00:43:59I remembered the poison

00:44:00my mother had handed me.

00:44:02I remembered the cold

00:44:03look in Ryan's eyes.

00:44:04Then I set down

00:44:05my wine glass.

00:44:06The bass struck

00:44:07the dragonbone armrest.

00:44:08The sound was not loud,

00:44:09yet the entire hall

00:44:10fell silence in an instant.

00:44:12I do not approve.

00:44:13I said,

00:44:14Kairos froze.

00:44:15Mother?

00:44:16The smile on Ivy's

00:44:17face stiffened.

00:44:18I raised my eyes to her.

00:44:20You will never become

00:44:21the mate of the

00:44:21sacred dominion's heir,

00:44:22not in this lifetime.

00:44:23The crowd instantly

00:44:24exploded into an uproar.

00:44:26Ivy's eyes reddened

00:44:27at once.

00:44:28Why?

00:44:29What makes me unworthy?

00:44:32I looked at her

00:44:33and smiled.

00:44:34Because the thing

00:44:35your mother stole

00:44:36fifteen years ago

00:44:37is finally going

00:44:38to be returned today.

00:44:41Ivy's face

00:44:42went completely pale.

00:44:44Kairos stepped

00:44:44in front of her,

00:44:45his brows drawn

00:44:46tightly together.

00:44:47Mother,

00:44:47Ivy didn't do

00:44:48anything wrong.

00:44:49The grudges of

00:44:50the previous generation

00:44:51shouldn't fall

00:44:51on her shoulders.

00:44:52I looked at him.

00:44:53Do you even know

00:44:54what happened

00:44:55fifteen years ago?

00:44:56Ivy spoke before he

00:44:58My mother told me

00:44:58everything!

00:44:59Fifteen years ago

00:45:00you betrayed

00:45:01Alpha King Ryan

00:45:01and seduced Karen,

00:45:02my mother's fiancé.

00:45:04You were exiled

00:45:04because you committed

00:45:05a crime!

00:45:06She bit her lip,

00:45:07looking as though

00:45:07I were the one

00:45:08bullying her.

00:45:09But my mother

00:45:10always defended you.

00:45:11She said you were

00:45:12just too jealous

00:45:13of her.

00:45:14Muted whispers

00:45:15spread throughout

00:45:16the hall.

00:45:17Some of the older

00:45:17nobles lowered

00:45:18their heads.

00:45:19Back then,

00:45:20they had all stood

00:45:21with Eat the Moon

00:45:21Goddess's altar.

00:45:22They had watched

00:45:23my wedding gown

00:45:24and been torn apart

00:45:25and they had watched

00:45:26Elena put on

00:45:26my bridal dress.

00:45:27They knew about

00:45:28that scanned

00:45:29but they had never

00:45:30cared about the truth

00:45:31because the stories

00:45:32written by the victors

00:45:33were always clean

00:45:33and respectable.

00:45:34Before I could speak,

00:45:35the doors of the hall

00:45:36were suddenly pushed open.

00:45:37Ivy wasn't wrong.

00:45:39Everyone turned around.

00:45:41Elena had arrived.

00:45:42Fifteen years had passed

00:45:43yet she was still

00:45:44dreptakingly beautiful

00:45:45in that fragile way

00:45:46of hers.

00:45:46Her golden hair

00:45:47was pinned up

00:45:48behind her head

00:45:48and the royal crest

00:45:49of the silver moon

00:45:50wolf pack's luna

00:45:51was embroidered

00:45:51on her white cloak.

00:45:52Behind her stood

00:45:53Alpha King Ryan

00:45:54and Karen,

00:45:55the holy knight

00:45:56of the shadow leopard clan.

00:45:57Every person

00:45:58who had destroyed

00:45:58my life fifteen years ago

00:46:00had finally appeared

00:46:01before me once again.

00:46:02Elena's eyes stiffened

00:46:04for a certain second

00:46:05the moment she saw me.

00:46:06Sister,

00:46:08I never imagined

00:46:09the Empress

00:46:10of the Sacred Dominion

00:46:11would turn out

00:46:12to be you.

00:46:13She called me sister.

00:46:15But her tone

00:46:16sounded more like

00:46:17a reminder

00:46:17to everyone present

00:46:18that I had once

00:46:20been nothing more

00:46:21than the filthy

00:46:22silver-eyed outcast

00:46:23of the silver moon

00:46:24wolf pack.

00:46:26Caius frowned.

00:46:27Mother,

00:46:28you know them?

00:46:29I didn't answer.

00:46:31Ryan stepped forward.

00:46:32He still carried

00:46:33the same arrogance

00:46:34of an Alpha King,

00:46:35though the sharpness

00:46:36in his golden eyes

00:46:37was no longer

00:46:37what it had been.

00:46:39He looked at me

00:46:40and remained silent

00:46:41for a long moment.

00:46:43Selina.

00:46:47Hearing that name

00:46:48come from his lips

00:46:49almost made me laugh.

00:46:51fifteen years ago

00:46:52he had used that name

00:46:53when he told me

00:46:54he loved me.

00:46:55Later,

00:46:56he had used the same voice

00:46:57to say that I disgusted him.

00:46:58And now he wanted

00:46:59to use that name again

00:47:00pretending there were

00:47:01still unresolved feelings

00:47:02between us.

00:47:03I spoke calmly.

00:47:05Your Majesty,

00:47:06this is a private banquet

00:47:07of the Sacred Dominion

00:47:08consortium.

00:47:10You were not invited.

00:47:17sister,

00:47:18if you're angry with me,

00:47:20then take it out on me.

00:47:22Why make things

00:47:23difficult for Ivy?

00:47:24She simply fell in love

00:47:26with Kairus.

00:47:28How interesting.

00:47:29I looked at her.

00:47:31Fifteen years ago,

00:47:33you also claimed

00:47:34that you had simply

00:47:34fallen in love with Ryan.

00:47:37Karen suddenly spoke.

00:47:39His voice called,

00:47:40Selina.

00:47:40What happened back then

00:47:42is already in the past.

00:47:43I turned to him.

00:47:44Of course it is.

00:47:46For you.

00:47:47After you woke up,

00:47:48all you had to do

00:47:49was call me shameless.

00:47:50But I had to spend

00:47:52fifteen years

00:47:53in the Forbibbon rift

00:47:54carrying the crime

00:47:55you all forced onto me.

00:47:56Karen's throat bobbed.

00:47:58There was something

00:47:59complicated in his eyes.

00:48:01Pain,

00:48:01conflict,

00:48:02and a belated trace of doubt.

00:48:04But I didn't need it.

00:48:05Belated doubt

00:48:06was just like belated love.

00:48:08Both were worthless.

00:48:10Ryan took a deep breath.

00:48:12We didn't come here today

00:48:13to dig up the past.

00:48:15Ivy and Kaidas

00:48:16love each other.

00:48:17An alliance

00:48:18between our two clans

00:48:19would benefit

00:48:20the sacred dimension as well.

00:48:22Selina,

00:48:23don't let personal grudges

00:48:24interfere with the bigger picture.

00:48:25I gently set down

00:48:26my wine glass.

00:48:27You're lecturing me

00:48:28about the bigger picture?

00:48:30Ryan frowned.

00:48:31I lifted a hand

00:48:32and the attendant behind me

00:48:34unfurled a black

00:48:34and gold contract scroll.

00:48:36It was covered

00:48:37with the markings

00:48:38of moon-tier crystal veins.

00:48:40My voice wasn't loud.

00:48:41Everyone heard it clearly.

00:48:43The Sacred Dominion Commodum

00:48:44controls 80%

00:48:45of the continent's

00:48:46moon-tier crystal mines.

00:48:47Last year,

00:48:4870% of the Silvermoon Wolfpack's

00:48:50military supplies,

00:48:51potions,

00:48:51and room array maintenance

00:48:52came from

00:48:53Sacred Dominion resources.

00:48:56Ryan,

00:48:57you're standing on my territory,

00:48:59living off my mind.

00:49:01and still expecting me

00:49:03to prioritize

00:49:03your bigger picture.

00:49:10Ryan's expression

00:49:11instantly dartened.

00:49:13For the first time,

00:49:14panic flashed

00:49:15across Dot Ivy's face.

00:49:16She grabbed Kyos' hand.

00:49:18Kyos,

00:49:19say something!

00:49:20Mother,

00:49:20do you really have to do this?

00:49:22Kyros looked at me,

00:49:23and for the first time,

00:49:24there was anger in his eyes.

00:49:25Do what?

00:49:27I asked.

00:49:29Expose the truth

00:49:30in front of everyone?

00:49:32Or refuse to hand over

00:49:33the life's work

00:49:34I've built

00:49:34to my enemy's daughter?

00:49:36Kyros lowered his voice.

00:49:38Ivy

00:49:39isn't her mother.

00:49:41Neither are you me.

00:49:42You don't have the right

00:49:43to forgive them

00:49:44on my behalf.

00:49:44I fixed my gaze on him.

00:49:46The moment those words

00:49:47left my mouth,

00:49:47the last trace of hesitation

00:49:49vanished from Kyros' face.

00:49:50He took Ivy's hand

00:49:51and turned to face the guests.

00:49:52If Mother refuses

00:49:53to give us her blessing,

00:49:54then I'll make the announcement

00:49:55myself!

00:49:56I, Kyros,

00:49:56as the heir of the sacred

00:49:57Dimangin,

00:49:58choose Ivy

00:49:58as my blood oath mate.

00:50:00From this night forward,

00:50:01anyone who humiliates her

00:50:02becomes my enemy.

00:50:03The entire hall fell silent.

00:50:04A flash of triumph

00:50:05crossed Elena's eyes.

00:50:06Even Ryan slowly

00:50:07looked pleased.

00:50:07Kyros,

00:50:08I knew you wouldn't

00:50:08abandon me!

00:50:09Crying,

00:50:10Ivy threw herself

00:50:10into Kyros' arms.

00:50:12I watched them

00:50:12and suddenly felt tired.

00:50:14Not heartbroken,

00:50:15just tired of it all.

00:50:17I raised my hand.

00:50:18Bring me the blood oath scroll.

00:50:20Hope lit up

00:50:21in at Kyros' eyes.

00:50:23Mother,

00:50:23you agree?

00:50:24I smiled.

00:50:25Of course.

00:50:27Before Ivy

00:50:27could even breathe

00:50:28a sigh of relief,

00:50:29I finished the sentence.

00:50:30I agree to sever

00:50:31the blood oath

00:50:31between us

00:50:32as mother and son.

00:50:34The smile

00:50:34on Kayata's face

00:50:35frozen.

00:50:36What did you say?

00:50:37An attendant

00:50:38brought over

00:50:38a black parchment scroll.

00:50:40It was no

00:50:41ordinary contract.

00:50:43Someone recognized it,

00:50:44their voice trembling.

00:50:48and the soul severation blood oath.

00:50:50Once it's signed,

00:50:51blood ties,

00:50:52inheritance rights,

00:50:52and family protection

00:50:53are all permanently cut off.

00:50:56On the day of my wedding,

00:50:58my mother tore my wedding gown apart

00:50:59in front of every noble present.

00:51:01Raising the moon goddess

00:51:02sepulor high,

00:51:03she brought it crashing down

00:51:05toward me,

00:51:06sending me sprawling

00:51:07across the ground.

00:51:09Selina is not worthy

00:51:10of becoming the new

00:51:11alpha king's bride.

00:51:12A deathly silence

00:51:13fell over the hall.

00:51:14I was the rejected

00:51:15silver-eyed daughter

00:51:16of the silver moon wolf pack.

00:51:17Today,

00:51:18as long as I completed

00:51:19the blood oath

00:51:20with the newly crowned

00:51:20alpha king, Ryan,

00:51:22I would become his Luna,

00:51:23the queen of all werewolves.

00:51:24But my biological mother,

00:51:26Hera,

00:51:27the most revered

00:51:28high priestess

00:51:29of the Temple of Light,

00:51:30publicly declared,

00:51:32Last night,

00:51:33she seduced Karen,

00:51:35the shadow pletha clan's

00:51:36holy knight,

00:51:37and her sister

00:51:38Elena's fiancée.

00:51:39The crowd

00:51:40instantly erupted.

00:51:41I knew those silver eyes

00:51:43were filthy.

00:51:44She actually dared

00:51:45to betray the alpha king?

00:51:47Drive her out

00:51:48of the silver moon pack!

00:51:50A chill spread

00:51:51through my entire body

00:51:53as I stared

00:51:53at my mother.

00:51:56What are you talking about?

00:51:58Last night,

00:51:59she had personally

00:52:00handed me a cup

00:52:01of blessed potion.

00:52:02She had smiled

00:52:03and said,

00:52:05Drink this,

00:52:05and the moon goddess

00:52:07will bless you

00:52:08and Ryan

00:52:08with a bond

00:52:09that can never

00:52:10be broken.

00:52:11But when I woke up,

00:52:12the man lying beside me

00:52:13wasn't Ryan.

00:52:14It was at Karen.

00:52:15Both of us

00:52:16had been drugged.

00:52:17I wanted to explain,

00:52:18but Karen had already

00:52:19thrown on his cloak.

00:52:20His eyes were filled

00:52:21with nothing but disgust.

00:52:24Selina,

00:52:24I've never met a woman

00:52:25as shameless as you.

00:52:26You'd even go after

00:52:26your own sister's fiancée!

00:52:28Then Karen staggered

00:52:29backward

00:52:29until he reached

00:52:31Elena's side.

00:52:32His eyes were red

00:52:33as he looked at her.

00:52:34I've been tainted.

00:52:37You're so pure.

00:52:39I no longer deserve

00:52:41to marry you.

00:52:42Below the altar,

00:52:43Ryan stood motionless.

00:52:45He had once told me

00:52:46that even if the entire world

00:52:47despised my silver eyes,

00:52:49he would still marry me.

00:52:51But now,

00:52:53the way he looked at me

00:52:54was no different

00:52:55from looking at something filthy.

00:52:57I rushed down

00:52:58from the altar

00:52:59and grabbed his hand.

00:53:01Ryan,

00:53:02someone set me up.

00:53:03There was something wrong

00:53:04with that potion.

00:53:05It was Mother!

00:53:06Enough!

00:53:08He shook me off,

00:53:09his voice horsey.

00:53:12Selina and I used to think

00:53:13you were just unlucky.

00:53:15Now I realize

00:53:16you genuinely disgust me.

00:53:22I froze where I stood.

00:53:26Elena burst into tears

00:53:27and buried herself

00:53:28in our mother's arms.

00:53:29She had a pair of

00:53:30noble golden eyes.

00:53:32Pale,

00:53:32delicate,

00:53:33and fragile.

00:53:34She looked like

00:53:34the most innocent

00:53:35sainty continent.

00:53:37Sister,

00:53:37I know you've always

00:53:38been jealous of me,

00:53:39but Karen is my fiancé.

00:53:41My mother gently wiped away

00:53:42her tears before

00:53:43walking over to me.

00:53:44Then,

00:53:44with her own hands,

00:53:45she removed the

00:53:46silver moon crest

00:53:47pinned to my chest.

00:53:48It was the symbol

00:53:49of a wolf bride's status,

00:53:50and in all fifteen years

00:53:51of my life,

00:53:52it was the only thing

00:53:53that had ever truly

00:53:54acknowledged my existence.

00:53:55I stared at her.

00:53:56Why?

00:53:57She leaned close

00:53:58to my ear,

00:53:59her voice so low

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

00:54:02Because Elena

00:54:03is far more suitable

00:54:04to be Luna.

00:54:06She has golden eyes.

00:54:08You're nothing

00:54:08but a stain.

00:54:11In that moment,

00:54:13I finally understood.

00:54:15This wasn't an accident.

00:54:16It wasn't a misunderstanding.

00:54:18It was a trap

00:54:19they had prepared

00:54:20long ago.

00:54:21That moment,

00:54:21Elena suddenly wiped

00:54:22away her tears

00:54:23and stepped forward.

00:54:24The position of Luna

00:54:25of the silver moon wolf pack

00:54:26cannot remain vacant.

00:54:28It would only make us

00:54:28the laughingstock of everyone.

00:54:30Since my sister committed

00:54:31such a disgraceful offense,

00:54:32let me atone for her sins

00:54:33in her place.

00:54:34Ryan,

00:54:35if you're willing,

00:54:36I can conflate this blood oath

00:54:37in my sister's stead.

00:54:38Ryan turned around

00:54:39and placed the blood crown,

00:54:41the symbol of the queen,

00:54:43upon Elena's head.

00:54:44The entire hall

00:54:45erupted in cheers.

00:54:47My sister wore my wedding gown,

00:54:49held my Grimm's hand,

00:54:50and stood in the place

00:54:52that should have been mine.

00:54:53And I was publicly sentenced

00:54:54by my own mother.

00:54:55At Selina,

00:54:56silver eyes has defiled

00:54:57the blood oath.

00:54:58Strip her of the wolf crest

00:54:59and exiled her

00:55:00to the forbidden rift.

00:55:01She shall never return.

00:55:02As the temple knights

00:55:02dragged me down

00:55:03from the altar,

00:55:04Elena glanced at me,

00:55:05tears still lingoned

00:55:06on her face,

00:55:06but the corners of her lips

00:55:07slowly curled forward.

00:55:11Fifteen years later,

00:55:12at the inheritance bankery

00:55:13of the sacred dominion,

00:55:14Conforge,

00:55:15navels and power holders

00:55:16from all twelve clans

00:55:17gathered withneath one roof.

00:55:18They knelt before

00:55:19my dragonbone throne,

00:55:20competing to present

00:55:21moon-tear crystal mines,

00:55:22territorial deeds,

00:55:23and bloodline oaths

00:55:24as tribute.

00:55:25None of them knew

00:55:26that the empress

00:55:27of the sacred dominion,

00:55:28the woman who controlled

00:55:30eighty percent

00:55:30of the continent's

00:55:31moon-tear crystal mines,

00:55:34was the same

00:55:35silver-eyed outcast

00:55:36they had once

00:55:37trampled into the mud.

00:55:39Until my adopted son,

00:55:41Kyaris,

00:55:42walked into the grand hall

00:55:44holding a young woman's hand.

00:55:45She wore a silver-white

00:55:47formal gown.

00:55:48Her golden eyes

00:55:49shunned brightly,

00:55:50and pride radiated

00:55:52from her face.

00:55:53Her name was Ivy,

00:55:55Elena's daughter,

00:55:55and she bore the exact

00:55:56same face her mother

00:55:57had fifteen years ago.

00:55:59Kyaw stopped before me,

00:56:00his tone unwavering.

00:56:01Mother,

00:56:02Ivy will become

00:56:02my blood oath mate.

00:56:04If you approve,

00:56:04we'll announce

00:56:05our engagement tonight.

00:56:06Every guest in the hall

00:56:07held their breath.

00:56:08Ivy lifted her chin

00:56:10slightly,

00:56:10waiting for me

00:56:11to bestow that honor

00:56:12upon her.

00:56:13She was the golden-eyed

00:56:14Saint-Gris of the

00:56:15Silvermoon Wolfpack,

00:56:17Ryan's most cherished

00:56:18daughter and

00:56:18Hera's favorite

00:56:19granddaughter.

00:56:20She was used to people

00:56:21lowering their heads

00:56:22the moment they saw her,

00:56:23but she had forgotten

00:56:24one thing.

00:56:25This was not the

00:56:26Silvermoon Wolfpack.

00:56:27This was the

00:56:28sacred dominion

00:56:29conforming.

00:56:30This was the throne

00:56:31I had clawed my way

00:56:32towards for fifteen years,

00:56:34inch by inch,

00:56:36through the bones

00:56:36and corpses

00:56:37of the forbidden rift.

00:56:39I looked at that face

00:56:40and remembered the

00:56:41wedding gown

00:56:41that had been torn apart

00:56:42fifteen years ago.

00:56:43I remembered the poison

00:56:44my mother had handed me.

00:56:46I remembered the cold

00:56:47look in Ryan's eyes.

00:56:48Then I set down

00:56:49my wine glass.

00:56:50The bass struck

00:56:51the dragonbone armrest.

00:56:52The sound was not loud,

00:56:53yet the entire hall

00:56:54fell silence in an instant.

00:56:56I do not approve.

00:56:57I said,

00:56:58Kairos froze.

00:56:59Mother?

00:57:00The smile on Ivy's

00:57:01face stiffened.

00:57:02I raised my eyes to her.

00:57:04You will never become

00:57:05the mate of the

00:57:05sacred dominion's heir,

00:57:06not in this lifetime.

00:57:07The crowd instantly

00:57:08exploded into an uproar.

00:57:10Ivy's eyes reddened

00:57:11at once.

00:57:12Why?

00:57:13What makes me unworthy?

00:57:16I looked at her

00:57:17and smiled.

00:57:18Because the thing

00:57:19your mother stole

00:57:20fifteen years ago

00:57:21is finally going

00:57:22to be returned today.

00:57:25Ivy's face

00:57:26went completely pale.

00:57:28Kairos stepped

00:57:28in front of her,

00:57:29his brows drawn

00:57:30tightly together.

00:57:31Mother,

00:57:31Ivy didn't do

00:57:32anything wrong.

00:57:33The grudges of

00:57:34the previous generation

00:57:35shouldn't fall

00:57:35on her shoulders.

00:57:36I looked at him.

00:57:37Do you even know

00:57:38what happened fifteen

00:57:39years ago?

00:57:40Ivy spoke before

00:57:41My mother told me

00:57:42everything.

00:57:43Fifteen years ago

00:57:44you betrayed

00:57:45Alpha King Ryan

00:57:45and seduced Karen,

00:57:46my mother's fiancée.

00:57:48You were exiled

00:57:48because you committed

00:57:49a crime.

00:57:50She bit her lip,

00:57:51looking as though

00:57:51I were the one

00:57:52bullying her.

00:57:53But my mother

00:57:54always defended you.

00:57:55She said you were

00:57:56just too jealous

00:57:57of her.

00:57:58Muted whispers

00:57:59spread throughout

00:58:00the hall.

00:58:00Some of the older

00:58:01nobles lowered

00:58:02their heads.

00:58:03Back then,

00:58:04they had all stood

00:58:05within the moon

00:58:05goddess's altar.

00:58:06They had watched

00:58:07my wedding gown

00:58:08ending torn apart,

00:58:09and they had watched

00:58:10Elena put on

00:58:10my bridal dress.

00:58:11They knew about

00:58:12that stand,

00:58:13but they had never

00:58:14cared about the truth,

00:58:15because the stories

00:58:16written by the victors

00:58:17were always clean

00:58:17and respectable.

00:58:18Before I could speak,

00:58:19the doors of the hall

00:58:20were suddenly pushed open.

00:58:21Ivy wasn't wrong.

00:58:23Everyone turned around.

00:58:25Elena had arrived.

00:58:26Fifteen years had passed,

00:58:27yet she was still

00:58:28dreptakingly beautiful

00:58:29in that fragile way

00:58:30of hers.

00:58:30Her golden hair

00:58:31was pinned up

00:58:32behind her head,

00:58:32and the royal crest

00:58:33of the silver moon

00:58:34wolf pack's luna

00:58:35was embroidered

00:58:35on her white cloak.

00:58:36Behind her stood

00:58:37Alpha King Ryan,

00:58:38and Karen,

00:58:39the holy knight

00:58:40of the shadow leopard clan,

00:58:41every person

00:58:42who had destroyed

00:58:42my life fifteen years ago

00:58:44had finally appeared

00:58:45before me once again.

00:58:46Elena's eyes stiffened

00:58:48for a certain second

00:58:49the moment she saw me.

00:58:50Sister,

00:58:52I never imagined

00:58:53the Empress

00:58:54of the Sacred Dominion

00:58:55would turn out

00:58:56to be you.

00:58:57She called me sister,

00:58:58but her tone

00:59:00sounded more like

00:59:01a reminder

00:59:01to everyone present

00:59:02that I had once

00:59:04been nothing more

00:59:05than the filthy,

00:59:06silver-eyed outcast

00:59:07of the silver moon

00:59:08wolf pack.

00:59:10Caius frowned.

00:59:11Mother,

00:59:12you know them?

00:59:13I didn't answer.

00:59:15Ryan stepped forward.

00:59:16He still carried

00:59:17the same arrogance

00:59:18of an Alpha King,

00:59:19though the sharpness

00:59:20in his golden eyes

00:59:21was no longer

00:59:21what it had been.

00:59:23He looked at me

00:59:24and remained silent

00:59:25for a long moment.

00:59:27Selina.

00:59:31Hearing that name

00:59:32come from his lips

00:59:33almost made me laugh.

00:59:35Fifteen years ago,

00:59:37he had used that name

00:59:37when he told me

00:59:38he loved me.

00:59:39Later,

00:59:40he had used the same voice

00:59:41to say that I disgusted him.

00:59:42And now he wanted

00:59:43to use that name again,

00:59:44pretending there were still

00:59:45unresolved feelings

00:59:46between us.

00:59:47I spoke calmly.

00:59:49Your Majesty,

00:59:50this is a private banquet

00:59:51of the Sacred Dominion

00:59:52consortium.

00:59:54You were not invited.

01:00:01sister,

01:00:02if you're angry with me,

01:00:04then take it out on me.

01:00:06Why make things

01:00:07difficult for Ivy?

01:00:08She simply fell in love

01:00:10with Kairos.

01:00:12How interesting.

01:00:13I looked at her.

01:00:15Fifteen years ago,

01:00:17you also claimed

01:00:18that you had simply

01:00:18fallen in love with Ryan.

01:00:21Karen suddenly spoke,

01:00:23his voice called,

01:00:23Selina.

01:00:24What happened back then

01:00:26is already in the past.

01:00:27I turned to him.

01:00:28Of course it is.

01:00:30For you.

01:00:31After you woke up,

01:00:32all you had to do

01:00:33was call me shameless.

01:00:34But I had to spend

01:00:36fifteen years

01:00:37in the Forbibbon Rift,

01:00:38carrying the crime

01:00:39you all forced onto me.

01:00:40Karen's throat bobbed.

01:00:42There was something

01:00:43complicated in his eyes.

01:00:44Pain,

01:00:45conflict,

01:00:46and a belated trace of doubt.

01:00:48But I didn't need it.

01:00:49Belated doubt

01:00:50was just like belated love.

01:00:52Both were worthless.

01:00:54Ryan took a deep breath.

01:00:56We didn't come here today

01:00:57to dig up the past.

01:00:59Ivy and Kyatus

01:01:00love each other.

01:01:01An alliance between

01:01:02our two clans

01:01:03would benefit

01:01:04the sacred dimension

01:01:05as well.

01:01:06Selina,

01:01:07don't let personal grudges

01:01:08interfere with

01:01:08the bigger picture.

01:01:09I gently set down

01:01:10my wine glass.

01:01:12You're lecturing me

01:01:12about the bigger picture?

01:01:14Ryan frowned.

01:01:15I lifted a hand

01:01:16and the attendant behind me

01:01:18unfurled a black

01:01:19and gold contract scroll.

01:01:20It was covered

01:01:21with the markings

01:01:22of moon-tier crystal veins.

01:01:24My voice wasn't loud.

01:01:25Everyone heard it clearly.

01:01:27The sacred dominion

01:01:28comodum controls

01:01:2880% of the continent's

01:01:30moon-tier crystal mines.

01:01:31Last year,

01:01:3270% of the silver moon

01:01:33wolf pack's

01:01:34military supplies,

01:01:35potions,

01:01:35and room array maintenance

01:01:36came from sacred

01:01:37dominion resources.

01:01:40Ryan,

01:01:41you're standing

01:01:42on my territory,

01:01:43living off my mines,

01:01:45and still expecting me

01:01:47to prioritize

01:01:47your bigger picture.

01:01:54Ryan's expression

01:01:55instantly dartened.

01:01:57For the first time,

01:01:58panic flashed

01:01:59across Dot Ivy's face.

01:02:00She grabbed Kyos' hand.

01:02:02Kyos, say something!

01:02:04Mother,

01:02:04do you really

01:02:04have to do this?

01:02:06Kyos looked at me,

01:02:07and for the first time,

01:02:08there was anger

01:02:09in his eyes.

01:02:10Do what?

01:02:11I asked.

01:02:13Expose the truth

01:02:14in front of everyone?

01:02:15Or refuse to hand over

01:02:17the life's work

01:02:18I've built

01:02:18to my enemy's daughter?

01:02:20Kyos lowered his voice.

01:02:23Ivy isn't her mother.

01:02:25Neither are you me.

01:02:26You don't have the right

01:02:27to forgive them

01:02:28on my behalf.

01:02:28I fixed my gaze on him.

01:02:30The moment those words

01:02:30left my mouth,

01:02:31the last trace of hesitation

01:02:33vanished from Kyos'

01:02:34face.

01:02:34He took Ivy's hand

01:02:35and turned to face the guests.

01:02:36If Mother refuses

01:02:37to give us her blessing,

01:02:38then I'll make

01:02:38the announcement myself.

01:02:40I, Kyos,

01:02:40as the heir of the sacred

01:02:41Dimangin,

01:02:42choose Ivy

01:02:42as my blood oath mate.

01:02:44From this night forward,

01:02:45anyone who humiliates her

01:02:46becomes my enemy.

01:02:47The entire hall fell silent.

01:02:48A flash of triumph

01:02:49crossed Elena's eyes.

01:02:50Even Ryan slowly

01:02:51looked pleased.

01:02:51Kyos, I knew you

01:02:52wouldn't abandon me.

01:02:53Crying,

01:02:54Ivy threw herself

01:02:54into Kyos' arms.

01:02:56I watched them

01:02:56and suddenly felt tired.

01:02:58Not heartbroken,

01:02:59just tired of it all.

01:03:00I raised my hand.

01:03:02Bring me the blood oath scroll.

01:03:04Hope lit up

01:03:05in At-Kyros' eyes.

01:03:07Mother, you agree?

01:03:08I smiled.

01:03:09Of course.

01:03:11Before Ivy

01:03:11could even breathe

01:03:12a sigh of relief,

01:03:13I finished the sentence.

01:03:14I agree to sever

01:03:15the blood oath

01:03:15between us

01:03:16as mother and son.

01:03:18The smile on

01:03:19Kyos' face frozen.

01:03:20What did you say?

01:03:21An attendant brought over

01:03:22a black parchment scroll.

01:03:24It was no ordinary contract.

01:03:27Someone recognized it,

01:03:28their voice trembling.

01:03:32The soul-severation

01:03:33blood oath.

01:03:34Once it's signed,

01:03:35blood ties,

01:03:36inheritance rights,

01:03:36and family protection

01:03:37are all permanently cut off.

01:03:40On the day of my wedding,

01:03:42my mother tore my wedding gown apart

01:03:43in front of every noble present.

01:03:45Raising the moon goddess

01:03:46Seppler high,

01:03:47she brought it

01:03:48crashing down toward me,

01:03:50sending me sprawling

01:03:51across the ground.

01:03:53Selina is not worthy

01:03:54of becoming

01:03:54the new Alpha King's bride.

01:03:56A deathly silence

01:03:57fell over the hall.

01:03:58I was the rejected

01:03:59silver-eyed daughter

01:04:00of the Silvermoon Wolfpack.

01:04:01Today,

01:04:02as long as I completed

01:04:03the blood oath

01:04:04with the newly crowned

01:04:04Alpha King, Ryan,

01:04:06I would become his Luna,

01:04:07the queen of all werewolves.

01:04:08But my biological mother,

01:04:10Hera,

01:04:11the most revered

01:04:12High Priestress

01:04:13of the Temple of Light,

01:04:14publicly declared,

01:04:16Last night,

01:04:17she seduced Karen,

01:04:19the Shadow Pletha clan's

01:04:20holy knight,

01:04:21and her sister

01:04:22Elena's fiancée.

01:04:23The crowd

01:04:24instantly erupted.

01:04:25I knew those silver eyes

01:04:27were filthy.

01:04:28She actually dared

01:04:29to betray the Alpha King?

01:04:31Drive her out

01:04:32of the Silvermoon Pack!

01:04:34A chill spread

01:04:35through my entire body

01:04:37as I stared

01:04:37at my mother.

01:04:40What are you talking about?

01:04:42Last night,

01:04:43she had personally

01:04:44handed me a cup

01:04:45of blessed potion.

01:04:46She had smiled

01:04:47and said,

01:04:48Drink this,

01:04:49and the moon goddess

01:04:51will bless you

01:04:52and Ryan

01:04:52with a bond

01:04:53that can never

01:04:54be broken.

01:04:54But when I woke up,

01:04:56the man lying beside me

01:04:57wasn't Ryan.

01:04:58It was at Karen.

01:04:59Both of us

01:05:00had been drugged.

01:05:01I wanted to explain,

01:05:02but Karen had already

01:05:03thrown on his cloak.

01:05:04His eyes were filled

01:05:05with nothing but disgust.

01:05:08Selina,

01:05:08I've never met a woman

01:05:09as shameless as you.

01:05:10You'd even go after

01:05:10your own sister's fiancée!

01:05:12Then Karen staggered

01:05:13backward

01:05:14until he reached

01:05:15Elena's side.

01:05:16His eyes were red

01:05:17as he looked at her.

01:05:19I've been tainted.

01:05:21You're so pure.

01:05:23I no longer

01:05:24deserve to marry you.

01:05:26Below the altar,

01:05:27Ryan stood motionless.

01:05:29He had once told me

01:05:30that even if the entire world

01:05:31despised my silver eyes,

01:05:33he would still marry me.

01:05:36But now,

01:05:37the way he looked at me

01:05:38was no different

01:05:39from looking at

01:05:40something filthy.

01:05:41I rushed down

01:05:42from the altar

01:05:43and grabbed his hand.

01:05:45Ryan,

01:05:46someone set me up.

01:05:47There was something

01:05:48wrong with that potion.

01:05:49It was Mother!

01:05:50Enough!

01:05:52He shook me off,

01:05:54his voice horsey.

01:05:56Selina and I used to think

01:05:57you were just unlucky.

01:05:59Now I realize

01:06:00you genuinely disgust me.

01:06:06I froze where I stood.

01:06:09Elena burst into tears

01:06:11and buried herself

01:06:12in our mother's arms.

01:06:13She had a pair

01:06:14of noble golden eyes.

01:06:15Pale,

01:06:16delicate,

01:06:17and fragile.

01:06:18She looked like

01:06:18the most innocent,

01:06:19sainty continent.

01:06:20Sister,

01:06:21I know you've always

01:06:22been jealous of me,

01:06:23but Karen is my fiancée.

01:06:25My mother gently

01:06:26wiped away her tears

01:06:26before walking over to me.

01:06:28Then,

01:06:28with her own hands,

01:06:29she removed

01:06:30the silver moon crest

01:06:31pinned to my chest.

01:06:32It was the symbol

01:06:33of a wolf bride's status,

01:06:34and in all fifteen years

01:06:35of my life,

01:06:36it was the only thing

01:06:37that had ever truly

01:06:38acknowledged my existence.

01:06:39I stared at her.

01:06:41Why?

01:06:41She leaned close

01:06:42to my ear,

01:06:43her voice so low

01:06:44that only I could hear it.

01:06:46because Elena

01:06:47is far more suitable

01:06:48to be Luna.

01:06:50She has golden eyes.

01:06:52You're nothing

01:06:52but a stain.

01:06:55In that moment,

01:06:57I finally understood.

01:06:59This wasn't an accident.

01:07:00It wasn't a misunderstanding.

01:07:02It was a trap

01:07:03they had prepared

01:07:04long ago.

01:07:05That moment,

01:07:05Elena suddenly wiped away

01:07:07her tears

01:07:07and stepped forward.

01:07:08The position of Luna

01:07:09of the silver moon wolf pack

01:07:10cannot remain vacant.

01:07:11It would only make us

01:07:12the laughing stock

01:07:13of everyone.

01:07:14Since my sister committed

01:07:15such a disgraceful offense,

01:07:16let me atone

01:07:17for her sins

01:07:17in her place.

01:07:18Ryan,

01:07:19if you're willing,

01:07:20I can conflate

01:07:21this blood oath

01:07:21in my sister's stead.

01:07:22Ryan turned around

01:07:23and placed the blood crown,

01:07:25the symbol of the queen,

01:07:27upon Elena's head.

01:07:28The entire hall

01:07:29erupted in cheers.

01:07:31My sister wore

01:07:32my wedding gown,

01:07:33held my Grimm's hand,

01:07:34and stood in the place

01:07:36that should have been mine.

01:07:37And I was publicly

01:07:38sentenced by my own mother.

01:07:39At Selena,

01:07:40silver eyes

01:07:40has defiled the blood oath,

01:07:42stripped her of the wolf crest,

01:07:43and exiled her

01:07:44to the forbidden rift.

01:07:45She shall never return.

01:07:46As the temple knights

01:07:46dragged me down

01:07:47from the altar,

01:07:48Elinina glanced at me,

01:07:49tears still lingoned

01:07:50on her face,

01:07:50but the corners of her lips

01:07:51slowly curled forward.

01:07:55Fifteen years later,

01:07:56at the inheritance bankery

01:07:57of the sacred dominion

01:07:58Conforge,

01:07:59nables and power holders

01:08:00from all twelve clans

01:08:01gathered withneath

01:08:01one roof.

01:08:02They knelt before

01:08:03my dragon bone throne,

01:08:04competing to present

01:08:05moon tear crystal mines,

01:08:06territorial deeds,

01:08:07and bloodline oves

01:08:08as tribute.

01:08:09None of them knew

01:08:10that the empress

01:08:11of the sacred dominion,

01:08:12the woman who controlled

01:08:14eighty percent

01:08:14of the continent's

01:08:15moon tear crystal mines,

01:08:18was the same

01:08:19silver-eyed outcast

01:08:20they had once

01:08:21trampled into the mud.

01:08:23Until my adopted son,

01:08:25Kyaris,

01:08:26walked into the grand hall

01:08:28holding a young woman's hand.

01:08:30She wore a silver-white

01:08:31formal gown.

01:08:32Her golden eyes

01:08:33shunned brightly,

01:08:34and pride radiated

01:08:36from her face.

01:08:37Her name was Ivy,

01:08:38Elena's daughter,

01:08:39and she bore

01:08:40the exact same face

01:08:41her mother had

01:08:42fifteen years ago.

01:08:43Kyo stopped before me,

01:08:44his tone unwavering.

01:08:45Mother,

01:08:46Ivy will become

01:08:46my blood oath mate.

01:08:48If you approve,

01:08:48we'll announce

01:08:49our engagement tonight.

01:08:50Every guest in the hall

01:08:51held their breath.

01:08:52Ivy lifted her chin

01:08:54slightly,

01:08:54waiting for me

01:08:55to bestow that honor

01:08:56upon her.

01:08:57She was the golden-eyed

01:08:58saint-gris of the

01:08:59silver moon wolf pack,

01:09:01Ryan's most cherished

01:09:02daughter and

01:09:02Hera's favorite

01:09:03granddaughter.

01:09:04She was used to

01:09:05people lowering their

01:09:06heads the moment

01:09:07they saw her,

01:09:08but she had forgotten

01:09:08one thing.

01:09:09This was not the

01:09:10silver moon wolf pack.

01:09:11This was the

01:09:12sacred dominion

01:09:13conformity.

01:09:14This was the throne

01:09:15I had clawed my way

01:09:16towards for fifteen years,

01:09:18inch by inch,

01:09:20through the bones

01:09:20and corpses

01:09:21of the forbidden rift.

01:09:23I looked at that face

01:09:24and remembered the

01:09:25wedding gown that had

01:09:25been torn apart

01:09:26fifteen years ago.

01:09:27I remembered the poison

01:09:28my mother had handed me.

01:09:30I remembered the cold

01:09:31look in Ryan's eyes.

01:09:32Then I set down

01:09:33my wine glass.

01:09:34The base struck

01:09:35the dragon bone armrest.

01:09:36The sound was not loud,

01:09:37yet the entire hall

01:09:38fell silent in an instant.

01:09:40I do not approve.

01:09:41I said,

01:09:42Kairos froze.

01:09:43Mother?

01:09:44The smile on

01:09:45Ivy's face stiffened.

01:09:46I raised my eyes to her.

01:09:48You will never become

01:09:49the mate of the

01:09:49sacred dominion's heir,

01:09:50not in this lifetime.

01:09:51The crowd instantly

01:09:52exploded into an uproar.

01:09:54Ivy's eyes reddened

01:09:55at once.

01:09:56Why?

01:09:57What makes me

01:09:58unworthy?

01:10:00I looked at her

01:10:01and smiled.

01:10:02Because the thing

01:10:03your mother stole

01:10:04fifteen years ago

01:10:05is finally going

01:10:06to be returned today.

01:10:09Ivy's face

01:10:10went completely pale.

01:10:12Kairos stepped

01:10:12in front of her,

01:10:13his brows drawn

01:10:14tightly together.

01:10:15Mother,

01:10:16Ivy didn't do

01:10:16anything wrong.

01:10:17The grudges of

01:10:18the previous generation

01:10:19shouldn't fall

01:10:19on her shoulders.

01:10:20I looked at him.

01:10:21Do you even know

01:10:22what happened

01:10:23fifteen years ago?

01:10:24Ivy spoke before he-

01:10:26My mother told me

01:10:26everything!

01:10:27Fifteen years ago

01:10:28you betrayed

01:10:29Alpha King Ryan

01:10:29and seduced

01:10:30Karen,

01:10:30my mother's fiancée.

01:10:32You were exiled

01:10:32because you

01:10:33committed a crime!

01:10:34She bit her lip,

01:10:35looking as though

01:10:35I were the one

01:10:36bullying her.

01:10:37But my mother

01:10:37always defended you.

01:10:39She said you were

01:10:40just too jealous

01:10:41of her.

01:10:42Muted whispers

01:10:43spread throughout

01:10:44the hall.

01:10:44Some of the older

01:10:45nobles lowered

01:10:46their heads.

01:10:47Back then,

01:10:48they had all stood

01:10:49beneath the moon

01:10:49goddess's altar.

01:10:50They had watched

01:10:51my wedding gown

01:10:52in dream torn apart

01:10:53and they had watched

01:10:54Elena put on

01:10:54my bridal dress.

01:10:55They knew about

01:10:56that scant,

01:10:57but they had never

01:10:58cared about the truth

01:10:59because the stories

01:11:00written by the victors

01:11:01were always clean

01:11:01and respectable.

01:11:02Before I could speak,

01:11:03the doors of the hall

01:11:04were suddenly pushed open.

01:11:05Ivy wasn't wrong.

01:11:07Everyone turned around.

01:11:09Elena had arrived.

01:11:10Fifteen years had passed

01:11:11yet she was still

01:11:12breathtakingly beautiful

01:11:13in that fragile way

01:11:14of hers.

01:11:14Her golden hair

01:11:15was pinned up

01:11:16behind her head

01:11:16and the royal crest

01:11:17of the silver moon

01:11:18wolf pack's luna

01:11:19was embroidered

01:11:19on her white cloak.

01:11:20Behind her stood

01:11:21Alpha King Ryan

01:11:22and Karen,

01:11:23the holy knight

01:11:24of the shadow leopard clan.

01:11:25Every person who

01:11:26had destroyed my life

01:11:27fifteen years ago

01:11:28had finally appeared

01:11:29before me once again.

01:11:30Elena's eyes stiffened

01:11:32for a certain second

01:11:33the moment she saw me.

01:11:34Sister,

01:11:36I never imagined

01:11:37the Empress

01:11:38of the Sacred Dominion

01:11:39would turn out

01:11:40to be you.

01:11:41She called me sister,

01:11:42but her tone

01:11:44sounded more like

01:11:45a reminder

01:11:45to everyone present

01:11:46that I had once

01:11:48been nothing more

01:11:49than the filthy,

01:11:50silver-eyed outcast

01:11:51of the silver moon

01:11:52wolf pack.

01:11:54Caius frowned.

01:11:55Mother,

01:11:56you know them?

01:11:57I didn't answer.

01:11:59Ryan stepped forward.

01:12:00He still carried

01:12:01the same arrogance

01:12:02of an Alpha King,

01:12:03though the sharpness

01:12:04in his golden eyes

01:12:05was no longer

01:12:05what it had been.

01:12:07He looked at me

01:12:08and remained silent

01:12:09for a long moment.

01:12:12Selina.

01:12:15Hearing that name

01:12:16come from his lips

01:12:17almost made me laugh.

01:12:19Fifteen years ago,

01:12:20he had used that name

01:12:21when he told me

01:12:22he loved me.

01:12:23Later,

01:12:24he had used the same voice

01:12:25to say that I disgusted him.

01:12:26and now he wanted

01:12:27to use that name again,

01:12:28pretending there were still

01:12:29unresolved feelings

01:12:30between us.

01:12:31I spoke calmly.

01:12:33Your Majesty,

01:12:34this is a private banquet

01:12:35of the Sacred

01:12:36Domanian Consociation.

01:12:38You were not invited.

01:12:45Sister,

01:12:46if you're angry with me,

01:12:48then take it out on me.

01:12:50Why make things

01:12:51difficult for Ivy?

01:12:52She simply fell in love

01:12:54with Kairos.

01:12:56How interesting.

01:12:57I looked at her.

01:12:59Fifteen years ago,

01:13:01you also claimed

01:13:02that you had simply

01:13:02fallen in love

01:13:03with Ryan.

01:13:05Karen suddenly spoke.

01:13:07His voice called,

01:13:08Selina.

01:13:08What happened back then

01:13:10is already in the past.

01:13:11I turned to him.

01:13:12Of course it is.

01:13:14For you.

01:13:15After you woke up,

01:13:16all you had to do

01:13:17was call me shameless.

01:13:18But I had to spend

01:13:20fifteen years

01:13:21in the Forbibbon Rift,

01:13:22carrying the crime

01:13:23you all forced onto me.

01:13:24Karen's throat bobbed.

01:13:26There was something

01:13:27complicated in his eyes.

01:13:28Pain,

01:13:29conflict,

01:13:30and a belated trace

01:13:31of doubt.

01:13:32But I didn't need it.

01:13:33Belated doubt

01:13:34was just like belated love.

01:13:36Both were worthless.

01:13:38Ryan took a deep breath.

01:13:40We didn't come here today

01:13:41to dig up the past.

01:13:43Ivy and Kaidas

01:13:44love each other.

01:13:45An alliance between

01:13:46our two clans

01:13:47would benefit

01:13:48the Sacred Dimension

01:13:49as well.

01:13:50Selina,

01:13:51don't let personal grudges

01:13:52interfere with the bigger picture.

01:13:53I gently set down

01:13:54my wine glass.

01:13:56You're lecturing me

01:13:56about the bigger picture?

01:13:58Ryan frowned.

01:13:59I lifted a hand

01:14:00and the attendant behind me

01:14:02unfurled a black

01:14:02and gold contract scroll.

01:14:04It was covered

01:14:05with the markings

01:14:06of moon-tier crystal veins.

01:14:08My voice wasn't loud.

01:14:09Everyone heard it clearly.

01:14:10The Sacred Dominion

01:14:12Commodum controls

01:14:12eighty percent

01:14:13of the continent's

01:14:14moon-tier crystal mines.

01:14:15Last year,

01:14:16seventy percent

01:14:16of the Silvermoon Wolfpack's

01:14:18military supplies,

01:14:19potions,

01:14:19and room array maintenance

01:14:20came from

01:14:21Sacred Dominion resources.

01:14:24Ryan,

01:14:25you're standing

01:14:26on my territory,

01:14:27living off my mines,

01:14:29and still expecting me

01:14:31to prioritize

01:14:31your bigger picture.

01:14:38Ryan's expression

01:14:39instantly dartened.

01:14:41For the first time,

01:14:42panic flashed

01:14:43across Dot Ivy's face.

01:14:44She grabbed

01:14:45Kaios' hand.

01:14:46Kaios,

01:14:47say something!

01:14:48Mother,

01:14:48do you really

01:14:48have to do this?

01:14:50Kaios looked at me,

01:14:51and for the first time,

01:14:52there was anger

01:14:53in his eyes.

01:14:54Do what?

01:14:55I asked.

01:14:57Expose the truth

01:14:58in front of everyone?

01:14:59Or refuse to hand over

01:15:01the life's work

01:15:02I've built

01:15:02to my enemy's daughter?

01:15:04Kaios lowered his voice.

01:15:07Ivy isn't her mother.

01:15:09Neither are you me.

01:15:10You don't have the right

01:15:11to forgive them

01:15:12on my behalf.

01:15:12I fixed my gaze on him.

01:15:14The moment those words

01:15:14left my mouth,

01:15:15the last trace of hesitation

01:15:17vanished from Kaios' face.

01:15:18He took Ivy's hand

01:15:19and turned to face the guests.

01:15:20If Mother refuses

01:15:21to give us her blessing,

01:15:22then I'll make

01:15:22the announcement myself.

01:15:24I, Kaios,

01:15:24as the heir of the sacred

01:15:25Dimangin,

01:15:26choose Ivy

01:15:26as my blood oath mate.

01:15:28From this night forward,

01:15:29anyone who humiliates her

01:15:30becomes my enemy.

01:15:31The entire hall fell silent.

01:15:32A flash of triumph

01:15:32crossed Elena's eyes.

01:15:34Even Ryan slowly

01:15:35looked pleased.

01:15:35Kaios,

01:15:36I knew you wouldn't

01:15:36abandon me.

01:15:37Crying,

01:15:38Ivy threw herself

01:15:38into Kairos' arms.

01:15:40I watched them

01:15:40and suddenly felt tired.

01:15:42Not heartbroken,

01:15:43just tired of it all.

01:15:45I raised my hand.

01:15:46Bring me the blood oath scroll.

01:15:48Hope lit up

01:15:49in At-Kairos' eyes.

01:15:51Mother, you agree?

01:15:52I smiled.

01:15:53Of course.

01:15:55Before Ivy could even

01:15:55breathe a sigh of relief,

01:15:57I finished the sentence.

01:15:58I agree to sever the blood oath

01:15:59between us

01:16:00as mother and son.

01:16:02The smile on Kaiota's face frozen.

01:16:04What did you say?

01:16:05An attendant brought over

01:16:06a black parchment scroll.

01:16:08It was no ordinary contract.

01:16:10Someone recognized it,

01:16:12their voice trembling.

01:16:16The soul-severation blood oath.

01:16:18Once it's signed,

01:16:19blood ties,

01:16:20inheritance rights,

01:16:20and family protection

01:16:21are all permanently cut off.
