00:00At my full moon homecoming banquet, the fake heiress, Lydia, poured a glass of red wine over my head.
00:05She held the glass between her fingers, smiling as if the throne of the silver moon pack already belonged to
00:11her.
00:11Freya, so what if you're the biological daughter?
00:14You spent 18 years crawling through the wilderness.
00:18All you smell like is a stray dog.
00:21I'm about to get engaged to the son of the obsidian packs alpha.
00:25And you? You're not even fit to be my mate.
00:28The nobles in the hall laughed under their breath.
00:30I raised my hand and wiped the wine dripping down my chin.
00:33The next second, my hand was around Lydia's throat.
00:36Her smile froze on her face.
00:38I lifted her with one hand and a screams filled the room.
00:41Slammed her straight through the stone wall of the banquet hall.
00:44Stone shattered.
00:45Dust exploded into the air.
00:46I looked at the fake heiress coughing blood in the rubble and said coldly.
00:50Now tell me, who isn't worthy?
00:52The sound of the wall collapsing drowned out every note of music in the hall.
00:56Lydia had been driven into the hole in the wall.
00:58Her elegant gown shredded by broken stone.
01:00She clutched her throat and coughed up blood.
01:03The entire room went dead silent.
01:05Dozens of werewolf nobles stared at me.
01:07They couldn't sense my true aura.
01:09I had kept the pressure of my true alpha blood buried deep.
01:12Low enough that they thought I was just some ordinary she-wolf brought back from the wild.
01:16But what I had just done was too fast.
01:18So fast that the two guards beside Lydia hadn't even had time to shift their claws.
01:22Someone whispered in shock.
01:23Isn't she supposed to be a rogue?
01:26What kind of rogue can smash through moonstone with one hand?
01:29I ignored them.
01:30I stepped over the broken stones and walked up to Lydia.
01:33For the first time, fear flickered in her eyes, but hatred quickly covered it.
01:37Freya, you dared to hit me?
01:40Her voice was hoarse.
01:41I've been recognized as the Silver Moon Packs heir for 18 years.
01:45You're nothing but a stray bloodline they dragged back here!
01:52Astray?
01:54You'd better remember this.
01:56Bloodline isn't something you can fake with a pretty dress.
01:59Lydia's face turned pale.
02:01She tried to argue.
02:02But the moment my fingers tightened, she sucked in a sharp breath of pain.
02:06Rapid footsteps sounded outside the banquet hall.
02:08Rowan, Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack, had arrived.
02:13My biological father, he wore a gold-embroidered robe.
02:16His expression dark.
02:17Beside him was Luna Selene, my biological mother.
02:21When she entered, she didn't look at the wine dripping from my hair.
02:24She didn't ask if I was scared after just returning to the pack.
02:27Her first glance went straight to Lydia in the rubble.
02:29Lydia?
02:30Lydia!
02:30Selene screamed and rushed over.
02:32She held Lydia in her arms, her fingers trembling.
02:35My child, are you hurt?
02:37It felt like something blood had slammed into my chest.
02:40I knew I shouldn't have expected anything.
02:42Eighteen years in the wilderness had taught me not to beg anyone for kindness.
02:46But in that moment, I still heard something crack inside me.
02:49Rowan walked up to me.
02:51There was no guilt in his eyes.
02:52Only anger.
02:53Freya, have you lost your mind?
02:55He lowered his voice.
02:57But it was still loud enough for the nobles around us to hear.
03:00Tonight is your homecoming banquet.
03:02And Lydia's most important public appearance before her engagement.
03:06You come back and attack someone in public.
03:08What does that make the Silver Moon pack look like?
03:12I looked at him.
03:13She poured wine on me first.
03:15It was just a glass of wine.
03:17I pointed at the broken wall.
03:18And I only lightly returned the favor.
03:21Someone nearby sucked in a breath.
03:23Lydia began crying in Selene's arms.
03:25Father, mother, I was only trying to teach her some manners.
03:29She came from the wilderness and doesn't understand our customs.
03:33I was afraid she'd embarrass Silver Moon in public.
03:36Her tears were perfectly controlled.
03:38Every word made her sound like she was only thinking of the family.
03:41Selene immediately looked up and glared at me.
03:43Freya, did you hear that?
03:45Lydia was looking out for you.
03:48And you attacked her like a wild animal.
03:50I looked down at my palm.
03:51A little of Lydia's blood stained my skin.
03:54The red was painfully bright.
03:55Suddenly, I wanted to laugh.
03:57I hadn't cried when scavenger wolves surrounded me in the wild.
04:00I hadn't cried when hunters slipped a silver chain around my neck.
04:03I hadn't cried when I survived a blizzard by chewing bark.
04:06But now, one sentence from my own mother like a wild animal made my throat tighten.
04:10I forced the ache back down.
04:12So what do you want me to do?
04:14Rowan looked as if he had been waiting for that question.
04:16He ordered coldly.
04:17Kneel and apologize to Lydia.
04:21The hall fell even quieter.
04:23Even Lydia's sobbing stopped for a second.
04:25She lifted her head, triumph flashing in her eyes.
04:28Selene helped her stand.
04:29Kneel.
04:30Her voice turned cold.
04:32In front of the whole pack, admit that you were violent and disrespectful.
04:36Admit that you should never have hurt your sister.
04:40The word stabbed into my ears like a needle of ice.
04:42I slowly lifted my eyes.
04:44She's my sister?
04:46Selene faltered.
04:47Rowan's face darkened at once.
04:49She has been by our side for 18 years.
04:52Blood or not, she is still a daughter of the silver moon pack.
04:56And you hurt her the moment you returned.
04:59I looked at him.
05:00So even family was decided by who came first.
05:03So blood meant nothing when weighed against convenience in the banquet hall.
05:06Lydia deliberately leaned into Selene's arms.
05:09In a voice only I could hear, she said.
05:11Kneel.
05:12Isn't that what things from the wilderness are supposed to learn?
05:17My fingertips twitch.
05:18The alpha instinct inside me surged.
05:20If I wanted, everyone in this hall would be on their knees.
05:23But I held back.
05:24If I revealed myself now.
05:26They would only turn me into a new weapon for their use.
05:29I didn't want one moment of shock.
05:30I wanted them ruined.
05:31I wanted them to watch the precious girl they protected rot into the mud.
05:35I lowered my eyes.
05:36Slowly, I stepped half a step back.
05:38Rowan thought I was scared.
05:40His expression softened slightly.
05:42That's more like it.
05:43The corner of Lydia's mouth lifted.
05:45Selene also let out a breath of relief.
05:47My knees bent slightly.
05:48The nobles held their breath.
05:50Just when everyone thought I was about to kneel.
05:52I reached down and picked up a piece of broken stone.
05:54I crushed it into powder between my fingers.
05:57Stone dust slipped through my palm.
05:59I looked up at Rowan.
06:00I won't kneel.
06:01But I'll remember this.
06:02Rowan's face changed instantly.
06:04Freya!
06:05I turned and walked away, behind me.
06:07Lydia's crying voice rose again, no longer able to hide her anger.
06:11Father, look at her!
06:13She doesn't respect you at all!
06:14Take her to the west tower and confine her there!
06:18Two guards immediately blocked my path.
06:20I looked at them.
06:21Their hands rested on their sword hilts.
06:23But they didn't dare draw.
06:24I smiled faintly.
06:26Move.
06:26Sweat broke out on their foreheads.
06:28They didn't know why they were afraid.
06:30But instinct had already made the choice for them.
06:32They stepped aside.
06:33When I walked out of the banquet hall, the full moon hung high above me.
06:37Cold moonlight fell over my soaked air.
06:39I touched the wolf fang necklace around my net.
06:41It had been left to me by an old witch doctor who once saved me in the wilderness.
06:45It could record sound.
06:46It could also store images.
06:48Everything that happened tonight had been recorded.
06:50And Lydia wouldn't stop after just one mistake.
06:53She would strike again.
06:54I would wait for her to place the knife in my hand herself.
06:57By the next morning, Lydia handed it over.
06:59Before the family hunting trial began, she sat in a silver white carriage.
07:03And bandages were wrapped around her neck.
07:05Sister, you came.
07:06All the young werewolves nearby turned to look at me.
07:09The envoys from the Obsidian pack were there as well.
07:12They had come to finalize the engagement.
07:14A tall young man stood behind Lydia.
07:16His name was Kale.
07:17He was the son of the Obsidian Alpha.
07:19Rumor said he was one of the strongest young Alphas of his generation.
07:22His gaze on me was cold.
07:24You're the one who hurt Lydia last night?
07:27She didn't tell you she poured wine on me first?
07:30Lydia bit her lip.
07:31Kale, please don't.
07:32My sister suffered a lot growing up.
07:35She can't always control her temper.
07:37I don't blame her.
07:39A wolf who can't control herself doesn't belong among nobles.
07:43I looked at him.
07:44Do you always speak for people who don't need you to?
07:47Kale stepped forward.
07:48A wave of alpha pressure pushed toward me.
07:50I stood still.
07:51That pressure landed on me like nothing more than a breeze.
07:54Surprise flashed in Kale's eyes.
07:56Lydia also froze for a second.
07:58But she quickly covered it up.
07:59Sister, today is the family hunt.
08:02Father said that if you can bring down a moon deer he'll acknowledge right to attend the Moon God Festival.
08:07I looked toward Rowan not far away.
08:09He offered no explanation.
08:11Selene stood beside him and avoided my eyes.
08:13I understood, they wanted to use this trial against me.
08:17If I failed, I would be branded as useless wilderness trash.
08:20If I got hurt, it would be my own fault.
08:23I nodded.
08:24Fine.
08:24Triumph flickered through Lydia's eyes.
08:26She raised her hand and called over two guards.
08:29My sister doesn't know the territory.
08:30Take her to the northern forest.
08:32The two guards lowered their heads and accepted the order.
08:35I saw the silver hooks hanging at their waists.
08:38Silver weapons were forbidden during werewolf hunts.
08:40Unless they had never intended for me to come back alive, I didn't expose them.
08:44I followed them into the northern forest.
08:46The shadows of the trees blocked out the sun.
08:49The deeper we went, the stronger the scent of silver orb became.
08:52Werewolves instinctively hated silver.
08:54Ordinary wolves would turn back the moment they smelled it.
08:57But the blood inside me burned quietly.
08:59A true alpha did not fear silver.
09:01Still, the toxic mist from a silver mine abyss could keep wounds from healing.
09:05When we reached a cliff, the guards in front stopped.
09:08Miss Freya, the moon deer is down there.
09:10I looked at the thin vines beneath my feet.
09:12There was no slope beneath them.
09:14There was an abyss.
09:15I turned around and Lydia stepped out from behind a tree.
09:18She sat on the back of a white wolf, pale but excited.
09:21Sister, do you like the grave I picked for you?
09:23I looked at her.
09:24Done pretending?
09:25There are no parents here.
09:27No annoying elders.
09:29If you die during the trial, everyone will say you were reckless.
09:33She raised her hand.
09:35The two guards moved toward me at the same time.
09:38Do you know something?
09:39When you grabbed my throat last night, I almost thought I was going to die.
09:44I have never been humiliated like that before.
09:47So you have to die.
09:49I touched my wolf fang necklace.
09:51The recording rune flashed for a moment.
09:53I asked calmly.
09:54Aren't you afraid I'll crawl back up alive?
09:56Lydia looked as if she had heard a joke.
09:58It's full of silver oil down there.
10:00A low brawn rogue like you will rot to the bone.
10:04Push her.
10:05The two guards lunged at me at the same time.
10:08I could have dodged, but I didn't.
10:09I needed the evidence to be complete.
10:11One guard shoved my shoulder hard.
10:13I fell backward.
10:15Wind tore past my ears.
10:16Lydia stood at the edge of the cliff.
10:18Her laughter sharp and cruel.
10:19Freya, in your next life, remember not to come back to a home that was never yours.
10:26My back slammed into the rock wall.
10:28Shards of silver ore pierced my flesh.
10:30Pain exploded through me.
10:31The taste of blood surged into my throat.
10:33My body rolled all the way down.
10:35Finally, I crashed hard at the bottom of the abyss.
10:38Silver white ore surrounded me on every side.
10:41Toxic mist wrapped around my wounds.
10:43My skin felt like it was burning.
10:45I lay on the ground.
10:46My fingers digging into the mud.
10:48It hurt.
10:48It really hurt.
10:50All the old wounds from the wilderness seemed to wake at once.
10:52My vision briefly went dark.
10:54But Lydia's words kept echoing in my ears.
10:56A home that was never yours.
10:58Suddenly, I laughed.
11:00Blood ran from the corner of my mouth as I laughed.
11:02She was right.
11:03This was not my home.
11:05My home would never push me into an abyss.
11:07It would never make me kneel before a thief.
11:10It would never ask why I was being difficult when I was covered in blood.
11:13I pushed myself up from the ground.
11:15The silver were cut into my palms.
11:17Blood dripped onto the stone with a faint sizzling sound.
11:19The alpha blood I had kept suppressed finally woke under the force of the pain.
11:23Golden light surged from deep within my pupils.
11:25The low-grade silver poison in the abyss was forced back bit by bit.
11:29I bit down on the wolf fang necklace.
11:31With my blood, I activated the image rune inside it.
11:34The footage of Lydia admitting her intent to kill me was sealed inside.
11:37Complete and clear.
11:38I looked up toward the top of the cliff.
11:41No one was there anymore.
11:42They thought I was dead.
11:43Good.
11:44Dead people were the best at overhearing secrets.
11:46I started climbing the rock wall.
11:48With every step, the silver ore tore my wounds open again.
11:51I could hear my own bones grinding.
11:53I didn't stop.
11:54By dusk, I finally reached the top of the cliff.
11:57My fingers were mangled and bloody.
11:59The moment I pulled myself over the edge, I heard Rowan's voice nearby.
12:02She really fell?
12:04I froze and crouched behind the bushes.
12:06Lydia said through tears.
12:07Father, I only asked the guards to take my sister to find a moon deer.
12:11I didn't know she would slip.
12:13I'm so scared.
12:15Rowan, that abyss is full of silver ore.
12:19Freya probably won't survive.
12:21I thought she would at least be sad.
12:22Even if it was just one sentence.
12:24But after a moment of silence, Rowan said.
12:27We'll tell everyone she was reckless during the trial and fell on her own.
12:30The moon god festival is about to begin.
12:33Silver moon cannot afford another scandal.
12:36What about a search?
12:37Rowan said coldly.
12:39Send two men to make it look like we tried.
12:41If the body's never found, all the better.
12:43A rogue girl who just returned dying in a trial is still better than letting her keep causing trouble.
12:48My fingers tightened slowly.
12:49My nails dug into my palms.
12:51The wolf fanged necklace grew warm.
12:53Every word they said was recorded.
12:55Lydia's sobs suddenly grew softer.
12:57She asked.
12:57Father, what about my engagement?
13:00It goes on as planned.
13:02You are still silver moon's most respectable daughter.
13:05Lydia, don't be afraid.
13:09Mother will protect you.
13:10I lowered my eyes.
13:11Blood dripped from my chin into the dirt.
13:13So Lydia had never been the only one trying to kill me.
13:16Their choices had done it too.
13:19Dragging my wounded body, I slipped silently back into the forest.
13:22The full moon rose on the horizon.
13:24In three days, the moon god festival would begin.
13:27Nobles from every pack would be there.
13:30It would be the perfect graveyard.
13:31Not for me, for their reputation.
13:33I didn't return to the west tower.
13:35I went to an abandoned wolf shed on the edge of the northern forest.
13:38It had once been used to lock up slave wolves who broke the rules.
13:41It was damp, foul smelling.
13:43And no one would come there.
13:44I tore off part of my skirt and dug the silver ore shards out of my flesh one by one.
13:49With every shard I removed.
13:50My hand trembled.
13:51Not from fear.
13:52From pain so sharp my body shook on instinct.
13:55I bit down on a piece of wood to keep myself from making a sound.
13:58Blood pulled across the floor.
14:00I spread out the runes stored inside the wolf fang necklace.
14:03The images were clear.
14:04Lydia stood at the cliff's edge.
14:06Personally ordering the guards to push me.
14:08Rowan and Selene discussed covering it up in the forest.
14:10Every word was enough to disgrace the silver moon pack.
14:13But it still wasn't enough.
14:15I still didn't have proof that Lydia was pretending to be an alpha.
14:18The alpha aura on her felt wrong.
14:20Like forbidden medicine.
14:21The old witch doctor in the wilderness had taught me how to recognize it.
14:24A real alpha's aura carried the warmth of blood and bone.
14:27But Lydia's scent was cold and sharp.
14:30As if it had been forced into her through drugs.
14:32I needed more evidence.
14:33Late that night.
14:34The door of the abandoned wolf shed open.
14:36I looked up.
14:37It was Elder Merrick.
14:38The oldest elder of the silver moon pack.
14:41He leaned on a black wooden cane.
14:43His white hair falling over his shoulders.
14:45You really didn't die.
14:47My fingers closed around my dagger.
14:49Here to finish the job?
14:50Merrick glanced at the blood all over me.
14:52If I wanted you dead.
14:54You would have died the moment you climbed out of that abyss.
14:58I didn't relax.
14:59Then why are you here?
15:00He tossed a medicine pouch at my feet.
15:02To stop the bleeding.
15:05I didn't move.
15:06Merrick snorted.
15:07The wilderness taught you to distrust everyone.
15:10That's not a bad thing.
15:11But if you die now.
15:14Lydia wins.
15:15I stared at him.
15:17You know it was her?
15:18Merrick tapped his cane against the floor.
15:20I'm old.
15:21Not blind.
15:23Her alpha scent smells like rot.
15:26Silver moon blood doesn't carry that kind of stench.
15:30I picked up the medicine pouch.
15:31Inside was black moss powder that could suppress silver poison.
15:35Why help me?
15:35Merrick was silent for a moment.
15:37Eighteen years ago.
15:38I opposed closing your disappearance case as a simple baby swap.
15:43Rowan wouldn't listen.
15:44Selina didn't want to keep digging either.
15:47My chest sank again.
15:48So they had the chance to look for me.
15:50They simply chose not to go far enough.
15:52Freya.
15:53Your eyes sometimes glow gold.
15:55I tightened my grip on the dagger.
15:57He continued.
15:58True alpha.
16:00The air in the room went still.
16:01If you tell anyone.
16:03You won't live long either.
16:05But Merrick smiled.
16:06I've lived long enough.
16:07Before I die I just want to see the silver moon pack stop being dragged into the mud by a
16:12fake.
16:13He took a black token from his robe.
16:14On the night of the moon god festival there will be an illusion a chain.
16:18Benu the altar have to dendison.
16:21You want everyone to see the gent cut off the hersen.
16:24This token will get you into the lower lever of the altar.
16:27I took the token.
16:29My palm was still bleeding.
16:30You want me to inherit silver moon?
16:32I want the real wolf to stand where she belongs.
16:37Then you might be disappointed.
16:39I'm not interested in silver moon.
16:42Then what do you want?
16:43I closed my hand around the wolf fang necklace.
16:46Compensation.
16:47And freedom.
16:49Footsteps suddenly sounded outside.
16:51Two young guards walked past the abandoned shed.
16:53One of them whispered.
16:54Didn't the alpha say she was dead?
16:56Why are we still searching?
16:58It's just for show.
16:59Miss Lydia gave orders.
17:00If we really find the body don't report it.
17:02Burn it.
17:03My eyes turned cold.
17:04You heard them.
17:06They won't leave you any way out.
17:07I poured the powder over my wounds.
17:09The pain made my vision flash white.
17:11But I didn't cry out.
17:12I said, word by word.
17:14Then I'll block every road they have too.
17:16The next day.
17:16Silver moon city began preparing for the festival.
17:19Wrapped in a cloak.
17:20I slipped into the lower city.
17:22One piece of news was spreading everywhere.
17:24The real daughter slipped during the trial and is missing.
17:27Miss Lydia is still injured.
17:29But she insists on hosting the moon god festival.
17:31She is the true worthy heir of silver moon.
17:34I stood in the crowd.
17:35Listening as enslaved wolf bards sang praises of her.
17:38People called her kind.
17:39People called her strong.
17:41People called me crude.
17:42Reckless.
17:43And said I deserved to die.
17:45My fingertips went cold.
17:46Not from fear.
17:47Because after rage burned too hot.
17:49All that remained was ice.
17:51A little wolf child ran past me.
17:53In his hand was a silver moon flag printed with Lydia's portrait.
17:56I reached out and stopped him.
17:58Where did you get that flag?
17:59The child pointed toward the square.
18:01Miss Lydia's people are giving them out.
18:03They said everyone has to cheer for her at the moon god festival.
18:08I looked toward the square.
18:09Lydia sat on a raised platform.
18:11A white blanket covered her legs as she accepted flowers from the crowd.
18:15Kale stood beside her like a protector.
18:17Selene personally fixed her hair.
18:19Rowan announced to the crowd.
18:21Freya slipped during the trial.
18:24We are deeply saddened.
18:26But silver moon will not stop moving forward.
18:29At the moon god festival.
18:30Our other daughter Lydia.
18:32Will represent silver moon.
18:34Receive the moon god's blessing.
18:36And accept the engagement oath from the obsidian pack.
18:40Lydia lifted her eyes and suddenly looked in my direction.
18:43Of course.
18:44She couldn't recognize me beneath the cloak.
18:46But I saw the small smile at the corner of her mouth.
18:49She thought she had one.
18:50I smiled too.
18:52Good.
18:52Stand higher.
18:53The higher she stood.
18:54The harder she would fall.
18:56On the night of the moon god festival.
18:57The entire silver moon city was lit with torches.
19:00Elders from nine surrounding packs had arrived.
19:03The obsidian pack was there too.
19:05Kale's father, Orion, sat in the seat of honor.
19:07He was the alpha of the strongest pack in the north.
19:10Rowan personally welcomed him.
19:12Smiling whiter than the full moon.
19:13After tonight, silver moon and obsidian will be allies.
19:18Assuming Lydia is worthy of my son.
19:21Rowan's expression stiffened slightly.
19:23Of course.
19:24She is silver moon's finest daughter.
19:26Wearing the gray robe of an acolyte.
19:28I blended into the backstage area.
19:30The token merit gave me worked perfectly.
19:32The guard glanced at it and allowed me into the lower level of the altar.
19:36The illusion array was glowing blue.
19:38Everything above would be projected into the night sky.
19:41But it could also be overridden.
19:42I crouched down and placed the wolf fang necklace into the core of the array.
19:46The runes lit up.
19:47The recordings were ready.
19:48Once I cut the main array, my recordings would replace the festival illusion.
19:52Lydia's voice came from above.
19:54Thank you to the moon god for blessing me.
19:56Thank you to my father and mother for raising me these 18 years.
20:00And thank you to every pack member who believes in me.
20:04Her voice was soft, sweet as honey.
20:06I walked up from the lower passage to the side of the altar on the platform.
20:09She looked noble and flawless.
20:11I looked like a ghost that had crawled out of a gutter.
20:14Below the stage, Selene clapped with red eyes.
20:16Rowan looked proud and relieved.
20:18Kale stepped onto the stage and presented Lydia with an obsidian ring.
20:22If the moon god approves, obsidian is willing to bind this oath with you.
20:26The crowd erupted.
20:27Lydia reached out to accept it.
20:29Just as the ring was about to slide onto her finger, I raised my hand.
20:33My claws shot out.
20:34And with one strike, I severed the main line of the altar array.
20:37The blue light went out instantly, and the whole crowd gasped.
20:40The next second, beneath the full moon in the night sky, a massive image appeared.
20:45At the northern forest cliff, Lydia stood at the edge, her voice sharp and clear.
20:49If you die during the trial, everyone will say you were reckless.
20:54Push her.
20:56The entire crowd erupted.
20:58All color drained from Lydia's face.
21:00She screamed.
21:00Turn it off!
21:02Turn it off!
21:02Now!
21:03But I had locked the array core with my blood.
21:06The second recording appeared immediately after.
21:08Rowan stood in the forest and said coldly.
21:11We'll tell everyone she was reckless during the trial and fell on her own.
21:14If the body's never found, all the better.
21:17A rogue girl who just returned dying in a trial is still better than letting her keep causing trouble.
21:21What about Lydia's engagement?
21:23It goes on as planned.
21:25After a deathly silence, the entire festival ground exploded into chaos.
21:29The Alpha already knew?
21:31They covered up an attempted murder?
21:32Lydia, a fake heir, pushed the real heir into a silver mine abyss?
21:37Orion's expression turned terrifyingly cold.
21:39Kale abruptly stepped back and looked at Lydia.
21:42Is this true?
21:43Lydia panicked.
21:44She reached out to grab him.
21:45Kale!
21:46Listen to me!
21:47It's fake!
21:49Freya forged it!
21:50I walked out of the shadows and onto the altar.
21:52My cloak fell away.
21:54And the crowd went silent again.
21:55Someone cried out.
21:57She's alive!
21:58When Selene saw the unhealed wounds covering my body, panic finally appeared on her face Freya.
22:03Rowan looked first toward the seats of honor.
22:05He wasn't afraid that I was alive.
22:07He was afraid the scandal had been exposed.
22:09I walked to the center of the altar, every step pulling at my wounds.
22:13The silver poison still clung to my bones, sending sweat across my brow.
22:17But I stood steady.
22:19Lydia stared at me.
22:20You bitch!
22:22Why didn't you die down there?
22:24I smiled.
22:25Because the moon god doesn't accept offerings sent by filth.
22:29She completely lost control.
22:30Beneath her ceremonial gown, her legs shifted into wolf claws, and she lunged at me.
22:35I'll kill you!
22:37Kale tried to stop her, but it was too late.
22:39Lydia's wolf form was incomplete, her bones twisting unnaturally as her aura surged.
22:44The scent of forbidden drugs burst from her, thick and acrid.
22:47Several elders around us changed expression at once.
22:50Her alpha aura is wrong!
22:52Lydia reached me.
22:53I didn't move.
22:54I lifted my eyes, and the bloodline pressure I had suppressed for 18 years broke free.
22:59Golden light burst from my pupils.
23:01Every wolf in the crowd felt their knees weaken.
23:03The lower-ranked wolf servants dropped to the ground.
23:06Lydia's claws froze in midair.
23:07It was as if invisible chains had locked her in place.
23:10No.
23:12How could you be?
23:14I walked toward her, step by step.
23:16Say it.
23:17What am I?
23:18Lydia's lips trembled.
23:20She couldn't say it, because the words true alpha were enough to crush every lie she had built.
23:24I lifted my foot and kicked her hard in the chest.
23:27Her body flew backward and crashed down the long steps of the altar.
23:30The sound of bones cracking was sharp and clear.
23:33Lydia screamed her through the night.
23:34I stood on the high altar and looked down at her.
23:37That kick was for the abyss.
23:39No one in the crowd dared to speak.
23:41Rowan's face was deathly pale.
23:42Selene covered her mouth as tears finally fell.
23:45Kale stared at me, shock churning in his eyes.
23:48But I felt no joy, only a late, crushing exhaustion.
23:51I had revealed my bloodline.
23:53From tonight on, everyone would be watching me.
23:55But that was fine.
23:56The prey was already in the trap.
23:58Now it was time to close it.
24:00When Lydia was carried away, she was still screaming my name.
24:02Her right hind leg was broken.
24:04The witch doctor said that even if it healed, she would always limp.
24:08For a werewolf noble, that was more humiliating than being scarred.
24:12The festival was forced to stop.
24:14And the elders from the nine packs demanded an explanation from Silvermoon on the spot.
24:18Orion stood, his face cold.
24:20Rowan, you nearly made the obsidian manc bind itself to a murderer and a fake heir.
24:26I will personally see this matter answered for.
24:30Rowan's face was as pale as a corpse.
24:32He wanted to explain, but the images still lingered in the night sky.
24:36Every word of his cover-up burned across his face like a branding iron.
24:39All he could do was turn to look at me.
24:41His gaze was complicated.
24:43There was shock, fear, and a hint of belated appeasement.
24:46Freya, come with me to the main hall first.
24:50We'll discuss this behind closed doors.
24:52Why didn't you close the doors when they pushed me into the abyss?
24:55The elders around us exchanged subtle looks.
24:58Rowan gritted his teeth.
24:59I am your father.
25:01What do you gain by destroying Silvermoon's reputation in public?
25:05Father?
25:06You were just caught saying it would be better if my body was never found.
25:10And now you remember you're my father.
25:12Selene rushed onto the platform.
25:14Her eyes were red and swollen as she reached out to grab me.
25:17Freya, her mother didn't know you were hurt this badly.
25:21I stepped back, her hand frozen midair.
25:23You knew.
25:24You heard that I had fallen into a silver mine abyss.
25:27You also knew Lydia was lying.
25:30But you chose to protect her.
25:32Selene's lips turned pale.
25:34I was just afraid the family would be humiliated.
25:37You had just returned and already caused a scene at the banquet.
25:41Lydia's engagement also concerned Silvermoon's future.
25:44I thought we could stabilize the situation first,
25:46then make it up to you later.
25:48Make it up to me?
25:50I raised my hand, showing the wounds on my palm eaten away by silver ore.
25:55With what?
25:56With you calling me a wild animal?
25:58Selene staggered back.
25:59Merrick rose from the elder seats.
26:01Enough.
26:02His voice was old, but it silenced the entire crowd.
26:05The evidence shown at the Moongard Festival is clear.
26:09Lydia attempted to murder Freya.
26:12And the Alpha and Luna notingly covered it up.
26:15The council must hold a hearing.
26:17Merrickin, are you trying to force my hand?
26:21You are the one who forced Silvermoon into this.
26:23The atmosphere instantly grew tense.
26:25Several elders loyal to Rowan stood up in opposition.
26:28This is an internal family dispute.
26:31There is no need to escalate it.
26:34Freya may be the victim, but she also severely injured Lydia.
26:38With such a powerful bloodline, she should think of the pack's stability.
26:43I understood.
26:43It wasn't that they didn't know the truth.
26:45They were simply weighing their interests.
26:47If I were only a rogue, they would have let Lydia keep stepping on me.
26:51Now that I had revealed myself as a true Alpha,
26:54they wanted to tie me back to Silvermoon and use me for their own benefit.
26:57Nobles never really change.
26:59They only change their excuses.
27:00I asked coldly.
27:02So what do you want to do?
27:04An elder in a grey robe said.
27:06First, seal the evidence.
27:09Publicly, we will claim the festival's magic array was corrupted by dark magic.
27:13As for Lydia, she will be confined for three months.
27:18Freya's status as heir will be restored,
27:21and the Alpha and Luna will apologize to her privately.
27:25Privately, I was publicly drenched in wine, publicly ordered to kneel,
27:29publicly declared to have fallen by accident,
27:31and they wanted to apologize privately.
27:33The taste of rust rose in my throat.
27:35My wounds had split open again, but my heart only became calmer.
27:39Absurd!
27:40The grey-robed elder looked at me.
27:42Freya, Silvermoon needs to preserve its dignity,
27:46and you need Silvermoon's protection.
27:49Once your identity as a true Alpha spreads,
27:52countless forces will come after you.
27:56Staying with your family is your best choice.
27:59Are you threatening me?
28:01I'm teaching you how to survive.
28:04I survived in the wilderness for 18 years.
28:07You don't get to teach me that.
28:09I turned to leave.
28:10Rowan suddenly gave an order.
28:11Stop her!
28:13More than a dozen silver-armored guards surrounded me.
28:16Kale's hand also moved to the hilt of his sword,
28:19but he did not draw it.
28:20Freya, if you leave now,
28:22everything will spiral out of control.
28:24Are you stopping me,
28:26or are you stopping them?
28:27Kale fell silent.
28:28I understood.
28:29All so-called righteousness hesitated when interest was on the line.
28:33I raised my hand and wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth.
28:36The wounds inside me had been aggravated when I released my aura,
28:39and the silver poison was starting to fight back.
28:41I couldn't afford a long fight here,
28:43or they would notice my weakness.
28:44I lowered my voice.
28:46Whoever stops me today I will remember.
28:48The pressure of a true alpha spread out again.
28:51The guards turned deathly pale,
28:52their knees weakening.
28:53I walked down the altar step by step.
28:56No one dared to actually attack.
28:58Only after I left the festival grounds did Lydia's hysterical screams echo behind me.
29:02Father!
29:03Kill her!
29:04She's going to destroy us!
29:06I paused for a moment,
29:07but I didn't look back.
29:09She was right.
29:09I would destroy them,
29:11but not tonight.
29:12I wanted them to hand me the final blade themselves.
29:15Three days later,
29:17Silver Moon's communication network exploded.
29:19Lydia sat on her sickbed,
29:21crying beautifully for the cameras.
29:23Facing the communication crystal,
29:24she said,
29:25I know my sister hates me,
29:27but ever since she came back from the wilderness,
29:29she has become terrifying.
29:31She climbed out of a silver mine abyss.
29:34Her eyes glow gold.
29:35She even released some evil pressure in public.
29:39I suspect she was corrupted by dark magic in the wilderness.
29:44In the footage,
29:44she lifted her broken leg.
29:46Her voice choked with sobs.
29:47I'm not trying to defend myself.
29:49I'm just afraid Silver Moon will be destroyed by a monster.
29:52The recording spread through every path.
29:54Soon,
29:55new rumors drowned out the truth from the festival.
29:57Some said I wasn't a true alpha,
29:59but a fate created by dark witchcraft.
30:01Some said I had devoured wolf souls in the wilderness.
30:04Some said I had returned to wipe out the pack for revenge.
30:06The most ridiculous part was that Rowan did not clarify anything.
30:10Neither did Selene.
30:11They let the rumors spread
30:13and even had the council release a temporary statement.
30:15Given the uncertainty surrounding Freya's identity
30:18and the source of her power,
30:19the Silver Moon Council will hold a formal trial.
30:22During the trial,
30:23her status as heir will be temporarily revoked.
30:26If dark corruption is confirmed,
30:28she will be exiled to the frozen wades.
30:31By the time I finished reading the announcement,
30:33I was sitting in a pharmacy in the lower city,
30:36treating my wounds.
30:37The old pharmacist's hands were shaking with fear.
30:39Miss,
30:40you need to run.
30:42Exile to the frozen wades is a death sentence.
30:45No wolf sent there has ever come back alive.
30:48I tightened the bandage around my wound.
30:50They're not strong enough to send me to my death.
30:53The pharmacy door was suddenly kicked open.
30:55Three silver armored guards stormed in.
30:57Their leader was Damon,
30:58the guard captain who had tried to stop me at the festival.
31:01Freya,
31:02by order of the alpha,
31:04you are to be taken to the trial hall.
31:06I looked at him,
31:07and if I refuse,
31:08Damon drew his sword.
31:09The silver blade slid from its sheath.
31:11The little wolf child inside the pharmacy burst into tears.
31:15I glanced at the child.
31:16Damon immediately held the blade in front of the child.
31:19Don't force me.
31:20My fingers slowly curled into a fist.
31:22Good,
31:23very good.
31:24They had started using innocent people to threaten me.
31:27I stood up.
31:28Lead the way.
31:31Smart choice.
31:32He took out a pair of silver chains.
31:34You must be restrained before the trial.
31:38The moment the silver chains came close,
31:40my wounds began to burn,
31:41but I didn't move away.
31:43I let him lock the silver chains around my wrists.
31:46Pain drilled into my bones,
31:47and cold sweat formed on my forehead.
31:49Damon saw it.
31:50So even a true alpha fears silver.
31:53I lifted my eyes to him.
31:54You'd better pray these chains are strong enough.
31:57His expression stiffened.
31:58The trial hall was filled with elders.
32:01Rowan sat in the main seat,
32:02with Celine beside him.
32:04Her face worn and pale.
32:05Lydia was there too.
32:06Seated in a wheelchair.
32:08Her broken leg covered by a blanket.
32:10But the triumph on her face was impossible to hide.
32:12When she saw me being brought in with silver chains,
32:15her eyes lit up.
32:16Sister,
32:17you finally came.
32:18As long as you admit you've been corrupted by dark magic,
32:21I'll beg father to spare your life.
32:24I looked at her.
32:24It was your leg that broke,
32:26not your brain.
32:27Why are you still dreaming?
32:30Her face twisted.
32:30Freya!
32:32This is the trial hall.
32:34Show some respect.
32:36I raised the silver chains.
32:37You dragged me here in restraints,
32:39and you expect manners?
32:41The grey-robed elder stood.
32:43Freya,
32:44last night,
32:45you released an abnormal error,
32:48and disrupt the order of the festival.
32:51Lydia accuses you of being corrupted by dark magic.
32:54Do you admit it?
32:56No.
32:56Sister,
32:57are you still going to lie to everyone?
33:00You spent 18 years in the wilderness.
33:03Who knows what happened to you out there?
33:06The moment you came back,
33:07you attacked me,
33:08threw me down the altar,
33:10and used dark magic to forge those images
33:12to frame father and mother.
33:15You didn't come back to reunite with your family.
33:17You came back to take revenge on Silver Moon.
33:20Whispers spread through the hall,
33:22and Rowan did nothing to stop them.
33:24Selene even said softly,
33:25Freya,
33:26if there's something you're hiding,
33:28tell us.
33:29Mother will plead for you.
33:31I looked at her plead.
33:32To whom?
33:33To the people trying to exile me to the frozen worlds?
33:36Why do you have to be so harsh?
33:38This has been hard for us too.
33:40It felt as if my heart had been gripped hard hard.
33:43Her hardship was a damaged reputation.
33:45Rowan's was a shaken alliance.
33:47Lydia's was that her lies were about to fall apart.
33:49Mine was nearly dying twice.
33:51I took a deep breath.
33:52The trial can continue,
33:55but I want to call a witness.
33:58The gray-robed elder frowned.
33:59Who?
34:00I lifted my head.
34:01Helena,
34:02the highest-ranking witch doctor.
34:04The color drained from Lydia's face,
34:06and Rowan suddenly sat up straight.
34:08How do you know her?
34:08People who survive in the wilderness
34:10tend to have a few friends.
34:12From outside the trial hall
34:14came the sound of a cane striking the floor.
34:16An old woman in a black robe walked in,
34:18followed by two witch doctor apprentices.
34:20They carried a bloodline tracing scroll
34:22sealed with golden markings.
34:24Helena lifted her eyes
34:25and swept her gaze over everyone.
34:27Who claimed a true alpha
34:28was dark magic corruption?
34:30Her gaze landed on Lydia.
34:32And who has been using
34:33corrupted blood-forbidden drugs
34:35to fake an alpha aura?
34:37Lydia's hands clenched
34:38the armrests of her wheelchair.
34:39I saw her knuckles turn white,
34:41but Rowan suddenly stood.
34:43The trial is suspended!
34:45Lady Helena has traveled far.
34:48She should rest first.
34:49I stared at him.
34:50He was panicking,
34:51because he could smell
34:52the truth closing in.
34:53The gray-robed elder
34:55immediately agreed.
34:56The bloodline crawl
34:57is a serious matter.
34:59It cannot be opened in haste.
35:01Detain Freya first.
35:02The trial will continue tomorrow.
35:06Daemon immediately stepped forward
35:08and grabbed me.
35:09The silver chains tightened suddenly,
35:11and the burning pain
35:11made my knees bend slightly.
35:13Lydia finally smiled.
35:15She leaned close and whispered,
35:17So what if you have the scroll?
35:18Once you enter the dungeon tonight,
35:20you'll never come out again.
35:22Freya,
35:23you still lose.
35:25Daemon yanked me hard
35:26toward the dungeon.
35:27I looked at Helena,
35:28just as she was about to speak.
35:29Two elders stepped in front of her.
35:31Rowan announced coldly,
35:33Freya is suspected
35:34of dark magic corruption.
35:36She will be taken
35:37to the silver cell immediately.
35:39After tomorrow's trial,
35:41she will be exiled
35:42to the frozen wasts.
35:44The hall was silent.
35:45No one dared to speak for me.
35:47Lydia's smile grew wider and wider.
35:49The silver chains cut into my flesh.
35:51I lifted my head
35:52and looked at my parents seated above.
35:54They avoided my eyes.
35:55In that moment,
35:56all the pain and rage
35:57I had been holding back
35:58surged into my throat.
36:00My fingertips had already found
36:01the lock of the silver chains.
36:03With one pull,
36:04I could tear them apart.
36:05Just as I was about to move,
36:07Lydia suddenly raised her voice.
36:09Sister,
36:10kneel and beg me.
36:11As long as you admit
36:12you're a monster,
36:13I'll ask father to spare your life.
36:15I slowly lifted my eyes.
36:17She smiled as if victory
36:18was already hers.
36:20I stared at Lydia's smile
36:22as blood dripped from my palm
36:23along the silver chains.
36:24The pain made my vision darken.
36:26But suddenly,
36:27I wasn't in a hurry anymore
36:29because she had said
36:30every vicious thought out loud
36:31in front of Helena,
36:33in front of the council,
36:34and in front of every witness
36:35in the silver moon trial hall.
36:36I asked softly,
36:38Are you sure you want me to kneel?
36:39Lydia lifted her chin.
36:41Kneel.
36:42Kneel and admit
36:43that a wilderness monster like you
36:45was never worthy
36:46of competing with me.
36:48I smiled.
36:49The next second,
36:50my fingers tightened
36:50and the silver chains shattered
36:52inch by inch in my hand.
36:54Damon's face changed drastically.
36:55Impossible.
36:56I caught his wrist
36:57with a backhand grip.
36:58With a crack,
36:59his wrist bone snapped.
37:00His silver blade fell to the floor.
37:02I kicked him aside
37:03and turned toward Helena.
37:05Every guard in the hall
37:06drew their blades.
37:07The pressure of a true alpha
37:08crashed down.
37:09Every blade trembled at once
37:10and the lower ranked guards
37:12dropped to their knees.
37:14Freya, stop!
37:15I walked up to Helena.
37:17Open the scroll.
37:18Helena looked at me deeply.
37:19She cut her fingertip
37:21and dropped her blood
37:21onto the seal of the scroll.
37:23Golden markings spread instantly
37:24and the bloodline tracing scroll
37:26floated into the air.
37:27The first beam of light
37:29fell upon me.
37:29The scroll spoke
37:30an ancient wolf tongue.
37:32Freya,
37:32biological bloodline of Rowan,
37:34alpha of silver moon,
37:36and Selina,
37:37luna of silver moon.
37:39Pure-blooded,
37:40true alpha.
37:42Directly blessed
37:43by the moon god.
37:46Gasps erupted
37:47throughout the hall.
37:48Rowan's face
37:49turned deathly pale
37:50in an instant.
37:51Selina clutched her chest
37:52as tears streamed
37:53down her face.
37:54It's fake.
37:55She tampered
37:55with the scroll.
37:56Helena looked at her coldly.
37:58The bloodline scroll
37:59is kept by the moon god temple.
38:01Are you questioning
38:03the moon god?
38:04Lydia choked on her words.
38:06The second beam of light
38:07fell on her.
38:07She began desperately
38:09shrinking backward.
38:10No!
38:10I don't want to be tested!
38:11But the scroll
38:12had already locked onto her.
38:13Golden light swept
38:14through her blood and bones.
38:16And the ancient wolf tongue
38:17sounded again.
38:18Lydia,
38:18not of the silver moon
38:20alpha bloodline.
38:22Birth mother,
38:24Mara,
38:25of the scavenger wolf branch.
38:27Placed into the silver moon
38:29nursery after birth
38:30through an infant
38:31swapping spell.
38:33Natural rank,
38:34beta.
38:36Corrupted blood
38:37forbidden drug residue
38:38detected in her body.
38:40Every word slammed
38:41into the hall
38:41like a hammer.
38:42Lydia collapsed
38:43back into her wheelchair.
38:44Her lips trembling
38:45so badly
38:46she couldn't speak.
38:47Selene suddenly stood
38:48and rushed to her.
38:49You knew all along
38:51that you weren't my daughter?
38:52Lydia's eyes darted away.
38:53Mother,
38:54I didn't know.
38:55I really didn't know.
38:56Helena said coldly.
38:58She began injecting
38:59corrupted blood drugs
39:00at 15.
39:02The catalyst requires
39:03blood from a
39:04biological relative.
39:07There is no way
39:08she didn't know
39:09who her birth mother was.
39:12Selene's hand froze
39:13the next second.
39:14She slapped Lydia
39:15hard across the face.
39:16You lied to me!
39:19You were the stupid ones!
39:21You loved me
39:21for 18 years!
39:23Why are you acting
39:24like victims now?
39:26Didn't you always know
39:28I wasn't your real daughter?
39:29Didn't you choose me anyway?
39:31Selene stepped back,
39:33her face ashen.
39:34Rowan's hands
39:34were trembling too.
39:35Orion stood
39:36from the observer seats,
39:38his gaze cold as a blade.
39:39The obsidian pack
39:40hereby withdraws
39:42all intention
39:43of forming
39:43an engagement
39:44with Lydia.
39:45Kale looked at Lydia,
39:47nothing but disgust
39:48left in his eyes.
39:48You used forbidden drugs
39:50to fake being an alpha
39:51and tried to trick us
39:53into an alliance marriage.
39:55Obsidian will demand
39:56compensation
39:57from Silver Moon.
39:58No!
39:59Kale,
40:00you can't break
40:01the engagement!
40:03You said you would
40:04protect me!
40:06I was protecting
40:07the Silver Moon air,
40:08not a scavenger wolf fraud.
40:10Those words shattered
40:11Lydia's last bit
40:12of support.
40:13She lunged
40:13toward Kale,
40:14only to fall
40:15from her wheelchair.
40:16Her broken leg
40:17hit the floor again.
40:18She screamed in pain,
40:19but no one helped her.
40:21I stood where I was,
40:23watching her struggle
40:24on the floor
40:25without a shred of pity,
40:26because I remembered
40:27the silver ore
40:27at the bottom
40:28of the abyss.
40:29I remembered her smile
40:30as she stood
40:31at the cliff's edge.
40:31I remembered her
40:32telling me to kneel.
40:33Merrick walked
40:34to the center
40:34of the elder's seats.
40:35The truth is clear.
40:37Lydia attempted
40:38to murder
40:38the true alpha heir,
40:40falsified her bloodline,
40:41and stole the pack's resources.
40:43According to
40:44ancient Silver Moon law,
40:45her power will be stripped,
40:46she will be branded
40:47with a slave mark,
40:48and she will be exiled
40:49to the wilderness.
40:50The gray-robed elder
40:51still wanted to speak,
40:53but I looked at him.
40:54Are you going to plead
40:55for her?
40:55His face stiffened.
40:56I wouldn't dare.
40:57Rowan finally stepped down
40:59from the main seat.
41:00He came to me.
41:01His voice hoarse.
41:02Freya,
41:02father was wrong.
41:05My child,
41:06I truly didn't know.
41:07I thought it was
41:08only a baby swap.
41:09I looked down at her.
41:11She was crying so miserably.
41:12You knew she wasn't
41:13your biological daughter.
41:15You knew she pushed me
41:16into the abyss.
41:17You knew I was
41:18covered in wounds.
41:19You knew she demanded
41:20I kneel.
41:21You simply decided
41:22I wasn't worth protecting.
41:24Selene's sobs
41:25caught in her throat,
41:26and Rowan's face
41:27turned completely gray.
41:28I looked past them
41:29toward the council.
41:30The trial isn't over.
41:32Now,
41:33we talk about
41:34my compensation.
41:36I threw a contract
41:38scroll onto
41:39the elder's table.
41:40When the scroll
41:40unfurled,
41:41every elder's expression
41:42changed.
41:43Half of silver moon's
41:44northern territory,
41:45three moonstone mines,
41:47two silver pine forests,
41:48half of the treasury reserves,
41:50plus blood debt
41:51compensation for the
41:5218 years I spent
41:53abandoned in the wilderness.
41:54the gray-robed elder
41:55cried out.
41:56Are you insane?
41:57That would carve out
41:59half of silver moon's
42:00lifeblood.
42:01When you carved into me,
42:02none of you asked
42:03if it hurt.
42:04Rowan picked up
42:05the contract.
42:06His fingers trembling.
42:07Freya,
42:08you can't do this.
42:09Silver moon is your home.
42:11All of this would be
42:12yours one day.
42:13I let out a laugh.
42:14One day?
42:15When I almost died
42:16in that abyss,
42:17were you also planning
42:18to compensate me
42:19one day?
42:20My child,
42:21please don't do this.
42:23Mother is begging you.
42:25We can make it up
42:26to you slowly.
42:27I stepped back.
42:29I don't want slowly.
42:30I want it now.
42:32Rowan's face
42:32turned livid.
42:33At last,
42:34the wolf king
42:35and him showed.
42:35If you push too hard,
42:38silver moon
42:38will never accept you.
42:40Even if you are
42:41a true alpha,
42:42you cannot rule
42:43every territory alone.
42:45That's why I never
42:46planned to rule
42:47silver moon.
42:48I took another
42:49wolf fang rune stone
42:51from my robe.
42:52Inside was evidence
42:53of silver moon
42:53exploiting slave wolves
42:55in the lower city,
42:55illegally mining
42:56forbidden silver,
42:57and trading with
42:58border poachers
42:59over the years.
43:00Merrick had given it to me.
43:01He had protected
43:02silver moon
43:03his entire life,
43:04and he had also
43:05collected its dirty
43:06records for just as long.
43:07I placed the rune stone
43:08on the table.
43:09Sign the contract,
43:10or by tomorrow
43:11every pack will know
43:12that silver moon
43:13didn't just cover up
43:14attempted murder.
43:15It also worked
43:16with poach.
43:17The elder seats erupted.
43:19How do you have those?
43:20This is slander!
43:23Merrick struck his cane
43:24against the floor.
43:25It is not slander.
43:26Every record
43:28bears my elder seal.
43:30The hall fell dead
43:31silent again.
43:32You betrayed me!
43:34What I betrayed
43:35was corruption.
43:37Orion washed coldly
43:38from the side.
43:39Obsidian is willing
43:40to witness the contract.
43:42Rowan's face
43:42went completely pale.
43:44With Obsidian
43:44as witness,
43:45Silver Moon
43:46would not be able
43:47to go back on it.
43:48Kale looked at me,
43:49his expression complicated.
43:50Freya,
43:51if you're willing,
43:53Obsidian can offer
43:54you protection.
43:55I looked at him.
43:55Protection?
43:57Like when you stayed
43:58silent in the trial hall?
43:59Kale's jaw tightened.
44:01I needed to confirm
44:02the truth.
44:02What you needed to confirm
44:04was which side
44:05was worth standing on.
44:07He said nothing more.
44:09No one in this room
44:10was clean.
44:11The only difference
44:12was how deep
44:12the dirt went.
44:13Two enforcement wolves
44:14dragged Lydia up
44:15when she heard
44:16I was taking
44:16half of Silver Moon.
44:18She suddenly laughed sharply.
44:19You're just greedy too!
44:21Stop pretending
44:22you're noble!
44:23I walked up to her.
44:25The mark from Celine's
44:26slap was still
44:26on her face.
44:27Yes,
44:28I'm greedy
44:29because I've starved
44:30in the wilderness.
44:32I know what happens
44:33to wolves
44:33with no resources.
44:34They get crushed.
44:35I leaned down
44:36and looked at her.
44:37But you're different.
44:39What you were greedy for
44:40was other people's lives.
44:42You won't end well!
44:44I straightened.
44:45Worry about your own
44:46ending first.
44:47The enforcement elder
44:48brought out a branding iron,
44:49its tip burning
44:50with dark red rune fire.
44:52Lydia finally became afraid.
44:54She screamed
44:54and looked at Rowan
44:55and Celine.
44:56Father!
44:57Mother!
44:57Save me!
44:58I was with you
44:59for 18 years!
45:01Celine turned her face away,
45:02shaking as she cried.
45:04Rowan closed his eyes.
45:05No one stopped it.
45:06The brand came down
45:07and Lydia's scream
45:08echoed through the trial hall.
45:11The slave mark
45:12was burned into her shoulder.
45:13Helena extracted
45:14the forbidden drug aura
45:15she had used to fake
45:16being an alpha
45:17right there in the hall.
45:18Without the drug's power,
45:19her whole body
45:20seemed to collapse
45:21in on itself.
45:21The alpha pressure vanish,
45:23leaving only the weak
45:24instincts of a beta.
45:25She lay limp on the floor,
45:27her eyes empty.
45:27In that moment,
45:28she finally fell
45:29from the clouds
45:30back into the mud.
45:31Rowan picked up
45:32the contract pen,
45:32but his hand refused
45:34to move.
45:34Alpha!
45:35Dawn is coming!
45:36The headline
45:37on the communication network
45:39is still waiting for me.
45:40He closed his eyes
45:41and finally signed his name.
45:43Celine was forced
45:44to press her blood seal
45:45as well.
45:45The contract burned
45:46with golden light.
45:47The moon god oath
45:48was sealed.
45:49Silver moon's
45:50northern territory
45:50was mine.
45:51Half the treasury
45:52was mine.
45:53Three moonstone mines
45:54were mine.
45:54From this day on,
45:55they could not take them
45:56back or interfere.
45:57I put away the contract.
45:59Rowan looked as if
46:00he had aged 10 years
46:01in an instant.
46:02Celine knelt on the floor,
46:03crying until no sound
46:04came out.
46:05Freyas,
46:06don't leave.
46:07Give mother one chance.
46:09I looked down at her.
46:10Once,
46:11I had imagined this moment.
46:12I had imagined my mother
46:14holding me
46:14and begging me to stay.
46:16But now that it was happening,
46:17all I felt was distance.
46:19I pulled my dress
46:19from her hand.
46:20A chance?
46:21I gave you one.
46:22In the banquet hall.
46:24At the abyss.
46:25In the trial hall.
46:26I looked into her eyes.
46:28You were the ones
46:29who refused it
46:31every time.
46:33I turned and left.
46:34Behind me came
46:35Lydia's cries
46:36as she was dragged away.
46:37And Celine's
46:38heartbreaking calls.
46:39I didn't look back
46:40because looking back
46:41was for the past
46:41and I no longer had one.
46:43On my first day
46:44taking over
46:45the Northern Territory,
46:46the steward sent
46:46by Silver Moon
46:47tried to test me.
46:48His name was Bran.
46:50He was Rowan's man.
46:51He stood at the entrance
46:52of the Lord's Manor
46:53with more than 20
46:54accountants and guards.
46:55When I dismounted,
46:56he didn't even bow.
46:57Miss Furia,
46:58the Northern Territory
46:59has been managed
47:00by Silver Moon's
47:01main estate for years.
47:02With such a sudden transfer,
47:06many accounts are unclear.
47:08I'm afraid we can't
47:09hand everything over
47:10immediately.
47:11I looked at the
47:11account book in his hand.
47:13The contract says today.
47:14Bran gave a fake smile.
47:16A contract is one thing.
47:17Actual procedures
47:18take time.
47:20At least three months.
47:21Fine.
47:22Triumph flashed
47:23in Bran's eyes.
47:24He thought I was
47:25afraid of trouble.
47:25The next second,
47:26I drew my short blade
47:28and stabbed it straight
47:29through the account book
47:30in his hand,
47:30the edge pinning
47:31into the wooden door
47:32right beside his fingers.
47:33Bran's face changed instantly.
47:35I'm giving you three hours.
47:37Every warehouse key,
47:39every mine seal,
47:41and every territory registry
47:42will be delivered
47:43to the main hall.
47:44If even one thing
47:45is missing,
47:46you'll be sent to the mines
47:48as hard labor.
47:49Bran snapped.
47:50I am a steward
47:52personally appointed
47:53by the alpha.
47:55I looked at him.
47:56An old dog
47:57from the former alpha's household
47:58should know better
47:59than to bark too loudly
48:00in my territory.
48:01I'll break your teeth.
48:03The guards behind him
48:04drew their swords.
48:05I lifted my eyes.
48:06Golden pressure swept out,
48:07and more than a dozen guards
48:08dropped to their knees at once.
48:10Bran's knees buckled,
48:11and he fell to his knees too.
48:13Forgive me, my lady.
48:14Now you know
48:15how to address me.
48:16He didn't dare make a sound.
48:18Three hours later,
48:19every seal and key
48:20was piled in the main hall.
48:21The accountants knelt in a row.
48:23I opened the account books
48:24after reading only 10 pages.
48:26I laughed.
48:27Mine production
48:27had been underreported by 30%.
48:29Half the slave wolves'
48:31food rations had been stolen.
48:32The tax income
48:33from the silver pine forests
48:34had vanished without explanation.
48:36Bran knelt on the floor.
48:37My lady,
48:38those are old accounts.
48:40I threw the account book
48:41in his face.
48:42Old accounts are still accounts.
48:44Come in.
48:44A group of local wolves
48:45from the Northern Territory
48:46walked in.
48:47Their clothes were worn,
48:48and their eyes were wary.
48:49At the front was a one-eyed woman
48:51named Rhea.
48:52She had once been a mine supervisor,
48:54but one of her eyes
48:55had been blinded
48:55after she fought for food rations
48:57for the slave wolves.
48:58Before taking over,
48:59I had asked Merrick to find her.
49:01Starting today,
49:03Rhea will take over
49:04as chief steward.
49:06She's a low-born wolf!
49:12Say that again.
49:14Bran clutched his chest
49:15and didn't dare speak.
49:16Rhea was stunned too.
49:17My lady,
49:18are you sure?
49:19I only know mine accounts.
49:21I handed her the seal.
49:22Then start with the mines.
49:24Audit the accounts.
49:25Whatever they stole,
49:27make them return it.
49:28If they can't,
49:30send them to the mines.
49:32Rhea's hands trembled
49:33as she accepted the seal,
49:34not from fear,
49:35but from excitement.
49:36That night,
49:37the first new decree
49:38of the Northern Territory
49:39was issued.
49:40Private punishment
49:41of mine slaves
49:41was abolished.
49:42Three years of stolen
49:43food rations
49:44would be repaid.
49:45Former stewards
49:46would be investigated
49:47for embezzlement.
49:48The three moonstone mines
49:49would now be directly
49:50controlled by the Lord's manor.
49:52After the news spread,
49:53wolves from the lower city
49:54gathered outside the manor.
49:55They didn't cheer.
49:56They didn't dare believe it.
49:58Not until I personally
49:59opened the granary
50:00and sacks of flour
50:01were carried out
50:02did a skinny wolf child
50:03hug a sack of grain
50:04and look up at me.
50:05My lady,
50:06we really don't have to pay
50:07for this with our lives?
50:08My throat tightened
50:09in the wilderness.
50:10I had once asked
50:11something like that too.
50:12I crouched down.
50:13No, this is what you were owed.
50:15The child's eyes turned red.
50:17Rhea stood beside me
50:18and said quietly,
50:19They'll remember you.
50:20I looked toward
50:21the distant mines.
50:22They don't need
50:22to be grateful.
50:24They only need to know
50:25that when the ruler changes,
50:27the way they live
50:28should change too.
50:30One month later,
50:32the Northern Territory
50:33had changed.
50:34Rhea led the newly
50:35appointed guard patrols
50:36through the towns
50:36and villages.
50:37The wolves who once
50:38knelt at the sight
50:39of nobles began
50:40to raise their heads
50:41and speak.
50:42I lured the Silver Moon
50:43flag over the Lord's Manor
50:44and replaced it
50:45with a new banner black,
50:46with a golden eye.
50:47Someone asked me
50:48what the banner was called?
50:49I said,
50:50Freedom.
50:51When the news reached
50:52Silver Moon's main city,
50:53Rowan fell ill that very night,
50:55not from injury,
50:56but from rage.
50:57After Silver Moon
50:58lost half of the Northern mines,
50:59a huge hole opened
51:01in its treasury.
51:02Obsidian's compensation
51:03claim pressed down on them,
51:04and the nine packs
51:05took the chance
51:06to demand old debts as well.
51:07Silver Moon,
51:08once so high and mighty,
51:09began begging everywhere
51:11for help.
51:11Selene sent me many things,
51:13jewelry, gowns,
51:15the ancestral wolf crown,
51:16and letter after
51:17handwritten letter.
51:18The first letter said,
51:19Freya,
51:20mother was wrong.
51:21The second letter said,
51:22My child,
51:23come home for a meal.
51:24The third letter
51:25had only one sentence.
51:26I dreamed of you
51:27crying in the snow
51:28when you were little.
51:29I burned every letter,
51:30not because it didn't hurt,
51:31but because after being
51:32hurt too many times,
51:34I no longer wanted
51:35to be cut by the same blade.
51:36When Merrick came
51:37to visit me in the north,
51:38he brought news.
51:39Lydia is dead.
51:41How did she die?
51:43During her exile,
51:44members of the old
51:45scavenger wolf camp
51:46found her.
51:47They learned she had
51:48impersonated a noble
51:49and dragged the scavenger
51:51wolves into disgrace.
51:53She was surrounded
51:54by wolves in the snow.
51:55By the next day,
51:57only her slave mark tag
51:58was sent back
51:59to the moon god temple.
52:01The room was silent
52:02for a moment.
52:02Only Rhea muttered
52:03under her breath,
52:04She got off easy.
52:05I said nothing.
52:07Images flashed
52:08through my mind,
52:08Lydia pouring wine
52:09on me at the banquet.
52:10Lydia ordering me to kneel.
52:12I thought I would
52:13feel satisfied,
52:14but when I actually
52:15heard she was dead,
52:16I only felt empty.
52:17The death of a villain
52:18could not return
52:19the 18 years
52:19I had suffered.
52:20But at least
52:21she could never
52:21hurt anyone again.
52:24Record it
52:25according to the law.
52:26Merrick looked at me.
52:27You're calmer
52:28than I expected.
52:29I lifted my eyes.
52:30The wilderness taught me.
52:31Rowan won't last
52:32much longer.
52:33The council is forcing
52:35him to step down.
52:37They want to invite you
52:38back to inherit
52:39Silver Moon as Alpha.
52:41I smiled.
52:41Invite me?
52:42Or make me clean up
52:43their mess?
52:44Merrick did not deny it.
52:46Both.
52:46I put down my pen.
52:48Tell them Silver Moon
52:49may submit to the
52:50Northern Territory,
52:51but I will not return
52:52to become the daughter
52:53they expect.
52:54And I will never
52:56forgive them.
52:56Approval flashed
52:57in Merrick's eyes.
52:58You plan to absorb
52:59Silver Moon?
53:00Not absorb.
53:02Cleans.
53:04Three days later,
53:05the gates of Silver Moon's
53:07main city opened.
53:08Rowan and Celine
53:08personally stood
53:09outside the gates.
53:10Behind them,
53:11the elders knelt
53:12across the ground.
53:13I rode a black wolf
53:14into the main city,
53:15with pack members
53:16crowded along
53:17both sides of the street.
53:18Once,
53:19they had laughed at me
53:20in the banquet hall,
53:21doubted me at the festival,
53:22and called me a monster
53:23on the communication network.
53:25Now,
53:25they lowered their heads
53:26and called out,
53:27Welcome,
53:28Lady Freya.
53:29The moment Rowan saw me,
53:31his eyes redden,
53:32he wore his old royal robes,
53:34but he no longer
53:34carried the dignity
53:35of an alpha.
53:36Freya,
53:37Silver Moon is willing
53:38to hand over
53:39the alpha seal.
53:40We only ask
53:41that you stay.
53:42Celine held
53:42the ancestral wolf crown
53:44in her hands.
53:44She knelt,
53:45her voice trembling.
53:46My child,
53:47mother does not ask
53:48for your forgiveness.
53:49I only ask
53:51that you not be alone anymore.
53:52I looked at them
53:53and suddenly remembered
53:54the night
53:54I first returned
53:55standing in a hall
53:56full of laughter
53:57with wine dripping
53:58from my hair.
53:59Back then,
53:59if they had said
54:00even one word for me,
54:01just one word,
54:02and perhaps none
54:03of today's reckoning
54:04would have happened,
54:05but they didn't.
54:06I took the alpha seal,
54:07but not the wolf crown.
54:08Silver Moon will be merged
54:10into the new
54:10northern territory.
54:11The old elders'
54:12privileges are abolished.
54:13All private minds
54:14will be placed
54:15under public treasury control.
54:17Slave wolves
54:17will become free citizens.
54:19Anyone who helped
54:20cover for Lydia
54:20or falsify the trial
54:22will be investigated
54:23one by one.
54:23The grey-robed
54:24elder's face
54:25changed drastically.
54:26Freya,
54:27you can't do this!
54:28Are you teaching me
54:29how to be alpha?
54:32He immediately
54:33fell silent.
54:33I raised my hand,
54:35Rhea stepped forward
54:36with her people
54:36and dragged him
54:37and several old elders away.
54:39Rowan closed his eyes
54:40and did not stop them.
54:42What about us?
54:43I placed a retirement
54:44contract in front of her.
54:45You may keep your residence,
54:46but you may not
54:47interfere in politics.
54:48You may not approach
54:49me as my parents.
54:50Each year,
54:51you will receive
54:52a fixed allowance.
54:52Freya,
54:53can we really
54:54never go back?
54:55We can't.
54:56She signed
54:56with trembling hands.
54:57Rowan signed as well.
54:58In that moment,
55:00Silvermoon's old rule
55:01officially ended.
55:02I stood on the
55:02high platform
55:03of the main city
55:04and watched the
55:05black banner
55:05with the golden eye rise.
55:06Every wolf
55:07in the city knelt.
55:08This time,
55:09it was not because
55:10of bloodline pressure.
55:11It was because
55:12of the new law.
55:12I finally understood.
55:14Rule was not about
55:15making everyone fear you.
55:16It was about
55:17giving a path
55:17to those who once had none.
55:19And my path
55:19had only just begun.
55:20After the coronation,
55:21I went alone
55:22to the northern forest cliff.
55:24The place had already
55:25been sealed off.
55:26A black stone monument
55:27stood at the edge
55:28of the abyss,
55:28carved with the first law
55:30of the new order.
55:31No bloodline shall stand
55:32above the life
55:32of the innocent.
55:34I stood at the edge
55:35of the cliff.
55:36A year had passed,
55:37but the silver mine abyss
55:38still gleamed cold
55:39and pale beneath the moonlight.
55:41I touched the wolf fang
55:42necklace around my neck.
55:43The first recordings
55:44were still stored inside it.
55:46I had never deleted them,
55:47because pain can be
55:48a marker too.
55:49Reminding me where
55:50I climbed up from,
55:51footsteps sounded behind me.
55:52Your majesty,
55:54the banquet has begun.
55:56Everyone is waiting for you.
55:57I turned back,
55:58in the distance.
55:59The new royal court
56:00blazed with lights.
56:01It no longer belonged
56:02to silver moon's
56:03old nobles.
56:04It belonged to everyone
56:05who had risen from the mud.
56:06I took one last look
56:07at the abyss,
56:08then I turned away.
56:09Let's go.
56:10There's still a lot to do.
56:12The full moon shone
56:13on my crown,
56:14and on the new road
56:15unfolding beneath my feet.
56:16I was no longer
56:17some true heiress
56:18of silver moon.
56:18No longer the wilderness
56:20you wolf drenched
56:20in wine at a banquet.
56:22I am Freya,
56:22a pure-blooded true alpha.
56:24The youngest luna
56:25in the north.
56:26My reign has only just begun.
