00:12To be continued...
00:30Casey? Coldest, meanest wolf we had. Total menace. No one got close.
00:35But they didn't know the truth.
00:37In my last life, I was bonded to Cain.
00:40On the day of our bonding ceremony, he slept with Lena, my cousin.
00:45My mum lost it.
00:48Ship Lena off to Dust Wolf Pack to get bonded to their beta.
00:56Cain? He blamed me.
01:00When he found out I was carrying his pup, he made sure I saw him with every one of them.
01:07It was torture.
01:09When labor hit, he locked me in the dungeon, blocked everyone out.
01:16My pup got crushed.
01:20I died hating him.
01:24Maybe the moon goddess felt sorry for me.
01:26She gave me a second shot.
01:28I came back.
01:30This time,
01:31I let Cain keep Lena.
01:34Didn't think he would ever regret it.
01:36I'd barely stepped out of the council hall, crossing the training grounds, when I spotted him.
01:43Cain.
01:48His curved blade slipped and hit the ground with a sharp clang, landing three feet from my boots.
01:55Pick it up.
01:57The wolves frozen.
01:59Eyes locked on me, waiting for a show.
02:03I knew this game.
02:04Last life, he treated me like his damn servant.
02:08You dropped it.
02:10You pick it up.
02:12The training ground went dead quiet.
02:17What did you just say?
02:21Damn, Eve.
02:22Switching tactics?
02:23Weren't you all over him like two days ago?
02:25Now you're acting loyal?
02:26Girl, you were his simp.
02:28Clinging to him all the time.
02:30You think your dead daddy's proud of this act?
02:44I told you to rest.
02:46Who said you could be out here?
02:48Look at Lena.
02:49She's hurt and still helps me.
02:51And you?
02:51Just standing there like a spoiled brat?
02:54No sense of duty.
02:56Same old trick.
03:00You just crawled out of my father's office, didn't you?
03:04What now?
03:05Pulling the pity card again?
03:08Playing up that story about your dad taking a blade for him?
03:12Begging to be my mate?
03:14You're pathetic, Eve.
03:16Always guilt tripping.
03:17Always scheming.
03:19You've tried every trick to lock me down.
03:21I clenched my sleeves.
03:22Voice flat.
03:24Didn't say a word.
03:25The Alpha called me.
03:27He's hosting my coming of age ceremony himself.
03:30The Alpha's hosting her ceremony?
03:33Congrats, man!
03:34If the Alpha's hosting her ceremony, he's lining you up to take over!
03:38Don't forget us when you're Alpha!
03:42Still, let's be clear.
03:44If we do end up bonded, stay out of my business with Lena.
03:50Know your place.
03:52Or...
03:54I won't be your mate.
03:56Unless you want a repeat of last time.
03:59My chest seized.
04:01What the hell did that mean?
04:03Did he...
04:03Remember too?
04:07I stared after them, then let out a quiet laugh of my own.
04:12Perfect.
04:13Wasn't planning to bond with you anyway.
04:16On the day of my coming of age ceremony, Kane showed up late.
04:20Her lips were swollen and fresh red marks scratched across his collisbone.
04:25Wolves nearby traded smirks.
04:27No question what they'd been doing in the shadows.
04:30In my past life, I would have stormed over, ripped off their masks, demanded why they'd humiliate me at my
04:37own ceremony.
04:39Now, I glanced once, then looked away like they were dust on my boots.
04:43Kane caught that flicker.
04:46His hand shut out, shifting Lena behind him.
04:52When I didn't flinch, he got twitchy.
04:56Then laughed, low and mean.
04:58What, Eve? Playing saint now because you're scared I won't be your mate?
05:01Don't be dumb. How about this?
05:05After the ceremony, meet me behind the mountain at the hot spring.
05:08Don't wear anything.
05:09If your body's worth it, maybe I'll let you in my bed.
05:11Kane, how can you say that?
05:13Isn't my body better than hers?
05:15Kane grinned, pinching her cheek.
05:17Of course you're better.
05:18A thousand times.
05:19That hot spring, it's yours.
05:33The sound hit like a switch.
05:36My past life slammed back.
05:39He'd done this before.
05:42Humiliated me in front of the pack.
05:44Treated me like some chew toy I'd shaken with rage.
05:48He'd just laughed.
05:50Said my shame turned him on.
05:52Someone tried to defend me once.
05:53Kane shut them down.
05:55Called me a heat chaser who begged for his scraps.
05:59Pathetic.
06:00I turned to walk away.
06:02I turned to walk away.
06:03Then his hand clamped around my wrist.
06:09Still pretending.
06:10His grip tightened bone deep.
06:15A wolf like you can't fake what you are.
06:19Watch your mouth.
06:23He smirked.
06:24Oh?
06:25You expect me to respect you?
06:27We're bound to be mates.
06:28Do you really still need that?
06:30Who said?
06:32I'm bonding with you.
06:42Then.
06:44Laughter.
06:45Loud.
06:46Ugly.
06:47Everywhere.
06:48Kane laughed.
06:48The hardest.
06:49Not bonding with me?
06:51Then who?
06:52Everyone knows you'd die for me.
06:55What?
06:56What?
06:57Kasey?
06:58K.A.'s been rotting in the Black Forest for years.
07:02Everyone says he's feral.
07:04Skinned a graveclaw wolf who challenged him and left the carcass hanging.
07:07You planning to bond with him?
07:09Trying to get yourself killed early?
07:12What?
07:13Nothing to say.
07:14Didn't you have all that fire a second ago?
07:17Or are you finally scared?
07:21Eve probably remembered the stories about Kasey.
07:25She gave Kane's sleeve a dainty tug.
07:28But her eyes drilled into me.
07:31If she really bonds with him, there might not even be bones left to bury.
07:40A few young wolves scusaled, right on cues.
07:44In my past life, I probably would have lunged at Lena and yanked her hair out.
07:49But this time, different.
07:55Who I choose isn't your business.
08:00Lena's smile tricked.
08:02Then she grabbed her chest and started coughing.
08:05Shoulders shaking uncontrollably.
08:11Eve, don't be like that.
08:15I was just worried about you.
08:19You did take a hunter's silver dagger for Kane.
08:22Remember?
08:24She leaned hard into me.
08:27Next thing I knew, she stumbled back like I'd shoved her.
08:30And dropped to the floor with a dramatic thud.
08:37Even if you hate me, you can't push me.
08:41My leg, it hurts so bad.
08:45He stepped in front of her like a shield, fury rolling off him.
08:49Really, Eve?
08:50That jealous now?
08:58She's your sister!
09:00Hey, what?
09:00Lena was just my cousin, but once she moved in, everyone assumed otherwise.
09:08Didn't even touch her.
09:13Still lying?
09:17The whole pack knows you're jealous of Lena.
09:21If you hadn't clung to me back then, I wouldn't have even noticed you.
09:25Kane, don't.
09:27Eve's probably just...
09:30upset.
09:31She always thought you'd pick her.
09:34Soft words.
09:35Sharper than claws.
09:37Whispers started up.
09:38Same ones from before.
09:40That I was forcing the mate bond.
09:42Hiding behind my father's name.
09:44That I couldn't handle my own sister.
09:46These rumors stuck like spit from jealous she-wolves.
09:50Filthy and hard to scrub off.
09:53Kane's rage snapped.
09:55He raised his hand and slapped me across the face hard.
09:58You'd better behave.
10:00Touch Lena again, and I'll throw you out of Silvermoon pack myself.
10:05The sting on my cheek spread like fire.
10:07I wanted to hit back.
10:09But out of the corner of my eye I saw the guests shifting around the venue.
10:13This was my coming-of-age ceremony.
10:15Causing a scene would only drag the Abel name through the dirt.
10:18Lena stayed tucked behind Kane.
10:21She leaned into his chest like she rehearsed it.
10:23That smirk still playing on her lips.
10:31Maybe he realized he'd gone too far.
10:34His throat bobbed.
10:35Like words were stuck.
10:45Kane, my leg hurts so bad.
10:49What if I never walk again?
10:52Pulling every bit of his attention.
10:54The whispers crashed in like waves.
10:56Their stares hit like poison needles.
10:58No manners.
10:59She'd go after her own sister over a mate.
11:03As if she ever had a shot, Kane would never choose her.
11:06Apologize to Lena.
11:07You think you can cling to our next alpha just because your dad took a silver arrow for his?
11:15I remembered everything.
11:17Breaking myself for Kane, training like hell just to scare off anyone who dared glanced his way.
11:24Thought being ruthless meant love.
11:28Now it just felt sad.
11:30Kane threw me a disgusted glare.
11:33Why are you still standing there?
11:35If something happens to Lena, you'll regret it.
11:45Father's about to announce our engagement.
11:48Be smart.
11:49Stay in your lane.
11:52Once the bond's sealed, I'll give you the rank you deserve.
11:55Just don't mess with me and Lena.
11:57I stared him down.
11:59Locked on those eyes.
12:05A horn blasted.
12:07Long and hollow.
12:10The beta strode in.
12:14Miss Abel, it's time.
12:17His cloudy eyes landed on my bruised cheek.
12:20Pity flickered.
12:22Behind him, a figure in black hood, low jaw sharp as Sin.
12:26A silver-edged blade strapped across his back wolf fang.
12:30Pendant, swinging like it had a heartbeat.
12:36Kasey Moonfoot, Theron's oldest, just back from the Black Forest.
12:41Silence hit like a punch.
12:43A few pups up front nearly dropped.
12:45Someone fumbled a wine bowl.
12:48Crash.
12:49Flames hissed as the liquor met fire.
12:51Even the beta trick.
12:56He'd just skinned a challenger from Graveclar pack.
13:00Still reeked of blood.
13:11Kasey stopped right in front of me.
13:13What happened to your face?
13:16Voice sharp, cut glass serious.
13:23I met those deep blue eyes and saw it.
13:26The memory.
13:28Him storming the dungeon, blooded and wild.
13:33Holding my dead body like it broke him.
13:39He went rogue for me.
13:43It is nothing.
13:47Cain scoffed, sliding between us.
13:50Eve's my problem.
13:51Don't stress.
13:52He squared up.
13:53She's about to be my mate.
13:55I've got it handled.
13:57The beta frowned, about to speak.
14:00But Cain shut him down with one look.
14:11Dad sent me.
14:13Said the Abelgoz ceremony's a pack matter.
14:15Let's move.
14:16I walked past Cain, steps steady.
14:18Cain was practically oozing smug,
14:20like he already saw the alpha crest hanging around his neck.
14:25The second the pack filled the great hall,
14:27his silver white hair caught the lights.
14:32Dude was ancient, like over a hundred,
14:34but still stood like a legend.
14:36He reached for my hand, smiling.
14:41Big day.
14:52Eve's come of age.
14:56And just like I promised her father,
14:58she'll choose one of my sons as her mate.
15:03Once she does,
15:05that wolf the next alpha.
15:08Gasps rippled through the hall.
15:11All eyes snapped to Cain.
15:13Some lit with envy.
15:17Yeah, they all remembered how hard I used to fall for him.
15:22Now.
15:24Patting my hand.
15:25Let the Chosen step forward.
15:27Let the Chosen step forward.
15:28I'll witness it myself.
15:30Cain shot up Stalia, chin high,
15:33already halfway into his victory strut,
15:35until Theron threw up a hand.
15:39Then Theron turned,
15:41gaze softening toward the corner.
15:46Case.
16:01You ready, Eve?
16:06How's it him?
16:07Didn't Eve love Cain so much she nearly died for him?
16:10Why Cain's?
16:12Is this some kind of screw-up?
16:19Father,
16:20this has to be a mistake!
16:34I might be old,
16:35but I'm not losing it.
16:37You think I'd mess up a choice
16:38to decide Silvermoon's future.
16:44The Alpha's word is final.
16:46Eve has chosen Case
16:47as her mate.
16:49No, that's wrong!
16:50Something's off!
16:54Eve,
16:55tell them.
16:56You picked me.
16:58Father just,
16:59he got it twisted, right?
17:06I chose Case.
17:07He is my mate now.
17:09The only one.
17:19Cain lunged.
17:20Grabbed my wrist hard enough to bruise.
17:23Liar!
17:24You love me!
17:26Everyone knows you'd have died for me!
17:29How could you pick this savage?
17:32Father forced you, didn't he?
17:34The Beta shoved between us,
17:36ripping Cain's hand off.
17:41What are you waiting for?
17:43Get him out!
17:44Unless you're begging for a fight too.
17:46They snapped to it,
17:48hauling Cain back
17:49as he kicked and fought.
17:51He was...
17:52Eve!
17:54Say something!
17:55Tell them it's wrong!
17:57You chose me!
17:59Therion clicked a hand.
18:07The Beta handed me a carved wooden box,
18:10etched with the Silvermoon totem.
18:13Miss Abel.
18:14A gift from the Alpha.
18:16May your bonds strengthen the pack.
18:20I stared down at it,
18:21something flickering in my chest.
18:26Inside was the Alpha Crest,
18:29passed down for generations.
18:34The one Cain spent his whole past life chasing.
18:38At the banquet,
18:40torchlight danced along the stone walls.
18:43I scanned the crowd.
18:45No sign of Cain.
18:50I turned Berry Wine in hand
18:52and smacked straight into a solid chest.
18:57The sharp scent of pine hit me.
19:00My eyes burned.
19:05Back then,
19:07when Cain locked me in that cellar,
19:09it was Case,
19:11who kicked the door down
19:12and carried me out,
19:14barely breathing.
19:22He was wrecked,
19:23bleeding everywhere,
19:25snarling at the wolves crowding us.
19:28Touch her again
19:29and I'll skin you alive,
19:30bury you with her.
19:32After I died,
19:34he turned that dungeon into a bloodbath,
19:36dragged every one of Cain's dirty secrets
19:39straight to Therion.
19:40I'd already left my body by then,
19:42just a soul watching him
19:44take on the whole pack
19:45for me.
19:46That is when it hit me.
19:47This brutal wolf
19:49had always put me first.
19:51Since I came back,
19:52that voice inside
19:53hasn't shut up.
19:54Choosing him is right.
20:04Once the feast kicked off,
20:07Theron made his move.
20:08He just pointed,
20:10straight to the empty chair on his right.
20:15Every wolf in the froze.
20:18That seat meant one thing.
20:20K.E. was the next alpha.
20:21He took it without blinking.
20:23The whispers exploded instantly.
20:26The lone wolves bonding with me.
20:34Right in the middle of all that buzz,
20:37Cain crashed the party,
20:38stumbling through the crowd,
20:40completely wasted,
20:41looking absolutely pathetic.
20:43Father,
20:44you can't approve their bond.
20:47Get him out of here.
20:49If he can still stand,
20:50he can crawl to his quarters.
20:53Don't disgrace us.
20:57Eve and I,
20:58we grew up together.
21:00We and the getter each other.
21:03Eve and I,
21:05we,
21:05you can't tear us apart.
21:09Oh?
21:11Poop-o'd sweethearts?
21:12Funny.
21:14I remember it differently.
21:17Eve,
21:18care to clear that up?
21:22Alpha,
21:22I'm not sure why Cain would say that.
21:25I've always seen him like a brother.
21:27He's the one chasing Lena,
21:29not me.
21:34Ever love you?
21:36I always have.
21:39I get it.
21:41You're jealous.
21:43Still pissed I gave the Arctic Foxfur to Lena,
21:46huh?
21:47Using Case to get back at me?
21:49You shouldn't say that.
21:50I'm forming a mate bond with Case.
21:57You're mine!
21:58You can't!
21:59His hand barely moved
22:01before Cain's grip snapped right around his arm.
22:06Sweat instantly breaking out on his face.
22:11She's my mate.
22:13You think you can touch her?
22:18With one sharp twist,
22:20he slammed him to the floor.
22:22Cain just curled up,
22:23groaning.
22:31Know your place.
22:34This is Eve's coming of age.
22:37Don't make me spill blood.
22:40You disgrace.
22:44You're grounded.
22:46Three months.
22:47Stay in your quarters and think.
22:52Eve!
22:53Tell him you love me!
22:57I didn't even glance his way.
23:00Just turned to Ka with a quiet smile.
23:06Our bonding ceremony was locked in
23:08for the next full moon.
23:12One morning before that,
23:13I found him waiting
23:14at the edge of the training grounds.
23:16He didn't say a word.
23:18Just watched.
23:20Everyone out there thinks I'm a monster.
23:22But I've killed too many.
23:30Aren't you scared of me?
23:36Scared of what?
23:46Scared I'll snap one day and hurt you.
23:49Not that it matters.
23:51Even if you were, it's too late.
23:54Whether you regret this or not,
23:56I'm not letting go.
23:57You're mine.
24:02Eve, in this life, you're only mine.
24:06Facing down the pack for me
24:08in our last life,
24:09my chest tightened.
24:12I've never regretted anything.
24:14And I'm not scared of you.
24:18I dropped the bow and walked to him,
24:20taking slow, steady steps.
24:30I've heard what they say.
24:32But I know you're not the monster
24:34they make you out to be.
24:36You.
24:38I chose you, Case Moonfei.
24:45From the start,
24:47I never doubted it.
24:53His throat bobbed.
24:55He reached out,
24:56his fingers wrapping around my wrist,
24:58steady and warm.
25:00Eve,
25:01don't forget you said today.
25:03His voice dipped,
25:04gravel rough.
25:05I won't.
25:13When I got back to the tent,
25:14Lena was at the fire,
25:16flipping meat.
25:22She spun around when she heard me,
25:24eyes full of poison.
25:27You really know how to fake it, huh?
25:29Acting like you're all in with Case
25:31when you're scared out of your mind.
25:34What?
25:35Cain suddenly wasn't good enough?
25:37So now you're throwing yourself
25:38at that psycho?
25:40Just wait.
25:41When Case finally snaps,
25:44you'll be the first body he drops.
25:49Before I could fire back,
25:51chaos burst out.
26:03A guard's voice rang out,
26:05panicked.
26:08Miss Abel!
26:10Cain's here!
26:11He brought men!
26:14I yanked open the tent flap
26:16and stepped into the sunlight.
26:20Cain,
26:21surrounded by a few goons,
26:23with the rest of the pack closing in,
26:26eyes glued to the scene
26:27like it was prime drama.
26:32Cain,
26:33you're here to take me with you, right?
26:41Cain didn't even glance at her.
26:44He walked straight to me
26:47and pulled a ruby-stuckled
26:49silver moon ring from his coat,
26:52held it up like it meant something.
26:56Eve,
26:56I messed up.
27:00But I'm here now.
27:02Give me another chance.
27:07I'll spend my life making it right.
27:10I'll never let you suffer again.
27:13Swear it.
27:14Disgust churned in my gut.
27:18Did you forget?
27:20Weren't you head over heels, Felina?
27:29Eve, please.
27:30It was all a misunderstanding.
27:32No one compares to you.
27:33You're the only one I've ever loved.
27:36Funny.
27:41That's not what you said before.
27:43You told me once we were bonded,
27:44I needed to stay obedient,
27:45stay quiet,
27:46and never question what you did with Lena.
27:49I was confused.
27:51I didn't mean to hurt you.
28:02Cain, you said you loved me.
28:04You said I was sweeter than Eve.
28:06You promised we'd be mates after the full moon.
28:08Shut up!
28:16Cain backhanded her so hard her head snapped sideways.
28:20The same brutal hit I knew too well.
28:23Red rents loomed across Lena's cheek.
28:25She grabbed her face, eyes wide, stunned.
28:34Slut.
28:35You seduced me.
28:37If it weren't for you,
28:39Eve would have picked me.
28:45You're just a scheming little wolf.
28:47You were never good enough to stand next to me.
28:49So he'd known the truth all along.
28:52He just chose to lie.
28:54Again.
28:57How could you ever compare to Eve?
28:59She's true able blood.
29:01You?
29:02You're just her mum's distant cousin.
29:04A tagalong nobody the pack took pity on.
29:13Did you actually think I'd become your mate?
29:17I gave her everything.
29:19Let her have the spotlight.
29:21The praise.
29:22And still, she clawed for more.
29:24Even my mate.
29:26I'm not a tagalong nobody!
29:28I'm not!
29:29You think I don't see it?
29:31Your blood.
29:33Your rank.
29:33Nothing stacks up to Eve.
29:35You're not even worthy to be her servant
29:36and you thought you could be my mate.
29:47Cain lunged.
29:49Grabbing my wrist.
29:50Eve, wait!
29:55Eve, don't leave!
29:58You saw it.
29:59I'm done with her.
30:01I swear, I'll never go near her again.
30:03Just give me one more chance.
30:08Cain, have some respect.
30:10I'm about to be your sister-in-law.
30:18Maybe being the Silvermoon Alpha's son
30:20made you think everything should fall into your lap.
30:23There is one thing you'll never have.
30:26What?
30:30Second chances.
30:33There's no second chances in this life.
30:35I made sure every word hit.
30:38I turned to the crowd.
30:41Voice loud and steady.
30:44Casey and I will be bonded soon.
30:46Hope to see you all at the ceremony.
30:49Cain moved to follow,
30:50but I tore free and walked off,
30:53slamming the tent flap shut behind me.
30:55I told the guards.
30:56I told the guards.
30:57No one gets in.
30:58They're drama.
30:59I was done with it.
31:06The morning of the bonding ceremony.
31:08I was up before the sun.
31:12Case stepped in,
31:14pushing back the tent flap,
31:15cradling a bunch of fresh astray leaves.
31:18Dewey and wild from the cedar woods.
31:23He wasn't anything like Cain.
31:25Cain was wildfire.
31:28Loud.
31:29Cocky.
31:30Always looking for trouble.
31:34Case.
31:35Icebound fang.
31:37Sharp jaw.
31:38Blade straight nose.
31:39Eyes locked ahead like nothing could shake him.
31:41Everyone said he couldn't love.
31:43But I remembered the way he tore through the dungeon to get to me.
31:47And now,
31:48seeing that same tension in his lips,
31:50heat bloomed in my chest.
31:52Last time,
31:53trailing behind Cain,
31:54my gut twisted with dread,
31:57praying he wouldn't Blake now.
32:11Then he stopped cold.
32:18Cain stood dead center,
32:20in front of the moon goddess statue.
32:22Full ceremonial gear.
32:25Blocking our way.
32:26No one thought he'd actually crashed the ceremony.
32:32He had completely lost it.
32:35Case lowered me to the ground.
32:37He started to step forward alone.
32:41But I grabbed his wrist
32:43and moved beside him.
32:48From now on,
32:50we face everything together.
32:52He looked at me.
32:54The morning light hit his eyes.
33:02Then Cain saw our hands.
33:05His wolf snapped.
33:07His wolf snapped.
33:29Eve, come with me.
33:30Let's swear before the moon goddess.
33:33You were always mine.
33:34Unreal.
33:35The same wolf who tossed me aside,
33:38now begging like it meant something.
33:41Cain,
33:41if you're here to witness the ceremony,
33:43stay.
33:44But if you're here to wreck it,
33:46whatever happened next,
33:47that's on you.
33:50Witness?
33:51You told me you'd only ever love me.
33:54Swore you'd never bond with anyone else.
34:03Cass!
34:17You're insane.
34:18Why would you block it with your hands?
34:20We need a healer!
34:21Now!
34:28You used to worry about me like that.
34:31Now you won't even look at me.
34:33He is my mate.
34:35Who else would I care about?
34:39God swarmed in,
34:40slamming Cain to the ground.
34:43He fought like a feral,
34:45howling and thrashing.
34:52Cain, stop!
34:53I'll go with you!
34:54I'll give up everything!
35:04Moon goddess,
35:06hear me!
35:06I was wrong!
35:08Just one more chance,
35:09I'll protect Eve,
35:11forever!
35:12I swear she'll never suffer,
35:14again!
35:16Take him to the dungeon.
35:19The alpha can decide
35:20what happens
35:22after the ceremony.
35:29Cain grabbed my wrist
35:30with his good hand
35:31and led me up to the altar,
35:33right before the moon goddess.
35:35Under her gaze,
35:37we completed our bond.
35:39Later,
35:39I heard Theron tore into Cain himself,
35:42then banished him
35:43to the forest edge.
35:44No orders.
35:46No entry.
35:47Silver moon was off limits for good.
35:52Night had already settled
35:53when K.O. came in.
35:55I was curled up on the bed,
35:57watching as he shut the door
35:58with a solid thunt.
35:59What, you planning to stand there
36:01guarding the door all night
36:02after the ceremony?
36:03I tapped the spot beside me.
36:05Get over here.
36:07He didn't say a word,
36:09just walked over,
36:10pulled off his robe,
36:11and let it drop.
36:12His back was all muscle and scars,
36:14some old,
36:14some fresh,
36:15warrior-proof.
36:16Then he leaned down,
36:17arms braced on either side of me,
36:18breath hot with cedar lacquer.
36:20Didn't someone just tell me
36:22to get in bed?
36:23I looked up at that jaw,
36:24sharp as ever,
36:25and reached for his ear,
36:26burning,
36:27just like I thought.
36:29What?
36:29I grinned.
36:32Scared?
36:33He gave a low chuckle,
36:35then bit the corner of my lip,
36:36just enough to sting.
36:39You're mine.
36:40What would I be scared of?
36:42Then stopped.
36:43Let me ask you something.
36:44What?
36:46Back then,
36:48wolves say you would have died for Cain.
36:50His fingertip brushed my collarbone.
36:52You really done with all that?
36:53With him?
36:56Done with what?
36:57I looped my arms around his neck,
36:59pulling close.
37:01I was blind before.
37:03Now I know exactly who's worth it.
37:12He pulled his shirt off,
37:14revealing pale scars crossing his chest
37:17like forgotten battle maps.
37:18I touched the largest one.
37:21Even had a rotum.
37:25You don't have to be gentle with me.
37:28I know.
37:43He covered me.
37:45Warm,
37:46solid.
37:47Every kiss was a claim.
37:49Every touch,
37:50a promise.
37:52A promise.
38:16Hitting deeper,
38:18until the world just fell away
38:20and stars exploded.
38:35Afterward,
38:36his usual sharpness
38:37softened into something vulnerable.
38:39He sank his teeth into my neck.
38:42I love you.
38:47Three moons later,
38:49I got the news.
38:51By then,
38:52Casey was the alpha.
38:54But seeing my belly,
38:56he just froze.
38:59His skin burned hot,
39:01fingers still shaking.
39:08Eve,
39:10we're having a pup.
39:13I just nodded,
39:15smiling.
39:16Autumn rains hit hard.
39:18Landslide crushed the forest's edge.
39:22He got pinned under the rubble.
39:25Eve,
39:26you came.
39:30Let me end this.
39:32For good.
39:38I knelt beside Cain.
39:41Blood was everywhere.
39:43Thick,
39:43metallic.
39:44His dead eyes flickered.
39:47Do you remember,
39:48in our last life?
39:51He coughed blood,
39:53voice torn to shreds.
39:56You bonded to me,
39:58under the moon goddess statue.
40:01Said it would be forever.
40:03Said you'd plant moon petals in the yard.
40:05His fingers clawed at the mud,
40:07like he was digging up ghosts.
40:09You had a pup.
40:11She had your eyes.
40:12Chased fireflies in the yard.
40:21Then I laughed,
40:23cold and sharp.
40:32Keep repeating it.
40:34Maybe one day,
40:35you'll believe it.
40:37You,
40:38you.
40:43I remember everything.
40:45You locked me up.
40:47I died.
40:48Me and our pup.
40:50Full of hate.
41:11rain slammed down,
41:13pounding the rubble,
41:14washing away the rot of the past.
41:18I leaned into Kayab's chest,
41:21letting the sound of his heartbeat ground me.
41:24I was finally free.
41:26I was finally free.
41:28I was après.
41:33You,
41:33You.
