00:00Outlining his towering frame.
00:02Then his scent wrapped around me.
00:04Iced cedar and untamed danger.
00:06My heart stopped completely.
00:10Powerful body claimed mine every single night.
00:12And every night, tonight, was my last chance to conceive.
00:18But my mother's death, my own.
00:21It all started three months prior.
00:23The strongest blackstone pack demanded a bride.
00:26My sister Sarafina was desperate for the crown.
00:28But she had Moonheart Syndrome.
00:30Taking an Alpha's full strength in bed would literally kill her.
00:34So Luna Lilith summoned me.
00:36You'll be Sarafina's stand-in for the Alpha's bed.
00:39No! Luna, please! I can't! I'm waiting for my fated mate!
00:43Then your mother can keep scrounging through the trash like a worm and die there.
00:46My mother, Hannah, was an Omega maid here.
00:50The day I was born, Lilith shattered her legs and tossed her into the junkyard.
00:54I was kept as their maid.
00:56Now I finally understood why.
00:58And I had no way out.
00:59I hid among the servants and followed Sarafina into Blackstone territory.
01:03On the first night, she took to her bed.
01:05Exhausted from the welcoming ritual, I put on her nightgown and made my way to the Alpha's
01:10villa in her place.
01:11The shower stopped running.
01:13Moonlight sliced through the shadows, outlining his towering frame.
01:16Then his scent wrapped around me.
01:18Iced cedar and untamed danger.
01:21My heart stopped completely.
01:24My body were almost a mere image of Sarafina's.
01:28The same full breasts and narrow waist.
01:30And with every step, Sorin's breathing grew heavier.
01:34You're beautiful.
01:35I knew he meant Sarafina.
01:36I stood on my tiptoes and kissed him.
01:38He swept me up and threw me onto the bed.
01:41Before dawn broke, I sneaked back to Sarafina's villa.
01:44She saw the love bites covering my skin.
01:46Good.
01:47Just get pregnant.
01:48Give me the pup.
01:50Then your part is over.
01:53Then her hulking maid, Grace, dragged me down and locked me back in the basement.
01:57Right before dinner, Grace appeared again.
02:01Sarafina wants you.
02:02Helena, the pack witch, was mixing perfumes for her.
02:05She forced me to find the perfume matching the pheromones I released when Sorin claimed me.
02:11Sarafina grabbed the bottle, jaw tight, and sprayed it over her body.
02:15Sorin's coming for dinner.
02:16You know what to do.
02:17Don't worry, my lady.
02:18I'll stay out of sight.
02:19I turned around and hid in the corner, until there was a pup growing inside me.
02:23I had nothing.
02:25Grace tossed a piece of moldy bread at my feet.
02:28A cold breeze drifted through the skylight.
02:31Iced cedar.
02:31The moment Sorin entered the dining room, Sarafina rushed to greet him.
02:35Darling, I made dinner myself.
02:37Your favorite venison roast and mushroom stew.
02:40Sorin offered her a polite embrace.
02:42I didn't understand it.
02:43Why was he so distant with her?
02:45Had I failed?
02:46Sarafina pulled out his chair, wrapping her arms intimately around his neck.
02:50Sorin's straky nose brushed against her skin.
02:52His movement slowed to a stop as he caught her scent.
02:55Why do you smell different tonight?
02:57Panic flashed in Sarafina's eyes.
02:59My heart hammered against my ribs.
03:01I just showered.
03:02Body wash throws off our wolf scent.
03:05To our first dinner together, Alpha.
03:07Sorin stared her down.
03:09Finally, he lifted his glass in a silent toast.
03:12When she slammed the glass down, her furious eyes landed on me.
03:16My breath caught in my throat.
03:17It's my honor to be the chosen mate of such a powerful, handsome Alpha.
03:21He sliced a piece of venison, bringing it to his licks.
03:25I'd rather mock you while we're in bed.
03:26My chest tightened.
03:27For a second, I wondered if he already knew the truth.
03:31What?
03:31No!
03:32I'm the White Moon Alpha's daughter!
03:34I deserve a glorious public ceremony!
03:37Sorin's nose twitched again.
03:39Then he calmly disentangled himself from her grip.
03:42Then you can wait.
03:43His face turned cold.
03:45He stood up and strode toward the door.
03:47Panic flashed across Sarafina's face.
03:49She hurried after him.
03:50Alpha!
03:51Aren't you staying for dinner?
03:55Bring her upstairs!
04:00Evangeline!
04:01Did you sabotage me?
04:03Do you really think you'll outlive me when this all comes out?
04:06For my mother's sake, I didn't dare dodge.
04:09Please, believe me.
04:10That perfume was the closest match.
04:12The closest?
04:14You think the strongest Alpha in the world is an idiot?
04:16I need an exact match!
04:18If he warned her to stop, she would have lashed me to death.
04:22Tears stung my eyes, but I refused to let them fall.
04:25My wolf, Selene, was weak, still trying to mend my shredded skin.
04:29Years of starvation had left her with almost nothing to give.
04:32The pain only grew sharper.
04:34I had never blamed her for the fact that we hadn't found our fated mate.
04:38You're a smart girl.
04:39You're going to keep helping me, right?
04:43We can't afford any more mistakes, Evie.
04:45This time, Helena needs to smell exactly what you give off while a man takes you.
04:49Without another word, she ordered Grace to drag me back to the basement.
04:53An hour later, back to the creek, a foul, rotting stench reached me where I sat.
04:59Standing there was the slave who lived on the outskirts of pack territory.
05:05Jim's a repairman. He's as strong as any alpha.
05:08Let's see if he can draw that sweet scent out of you.
05:10No! Seraphina, please! I have another way!
05:14I don't believe you anymore, she grinned.
05:16My stomach turned.
05:18I don't know what it's right.
05:20We have to run!
05:22Jim's hands reached for my body.
05:24Then, a knock sounded at the front door.
05:26I didn't hesitate.
05:27The second Grace's grip loosened.
05:29I broke free.
05:30The door swung open before anyone could answer.
05:33The moment Jim caught sight of the hem of her dress, he bolted.
05:37She was Victoria, the adopted daughter of the former Luna, Margaret.
05:42Margaret adored her, even backing her to become Sorin's mate.
05:46Moon goddess, I've never heard such a thing.
05:48The alpha's first dinner with his new wide.
05:51And his foolish mate drove him away.
05:53Oh, I forgot.
05:54You're not even marked yet.
05:55Looks like you'll be sent back, poor Seraphina.
05:58Are you here just to mock me?
05:59So what if Sorin didn't finish dinner with me?
06:01At least he claimed me last night.
06:03That was last night.
06:04Tonight you won't get the chance.
06:06Sorin's already bored of you.
06:08Now he's just disgusted by how stupid you are.
06:10Sorin isn't tired of me!
06:12He's just busy with pack duties!
06:13If lying to yourself helps, go ahead.
06:15But soon enough, you'll learn the truth.
06:18You're about to become Blackstone's favorite joke.
06:21Good luck, foolish Luna.
06:33He left something on my desk.
06:35Our photo.
06:36Cut into tiny pieces.
06:38I couldn't even make out our faces.
06:42Slept for six years.
06:45Griffin pinned me against the dark stairwell.
06:48Seraphina, you really think you can keep sleeping with your brother forever?
06:51But he doesn't know that, this time, I'm no longer the one at his mercy.
06:56We're done.
06:57Time to wake up.
07:02I didn't tell him the truth.
07:04Didn't tell him I'd already agreed to marry his friend.
07:06And my wedding would happen first.
07:10At Thanksgiving dinner, my stepbrother Griffin finally came home.
07:13After three months of ghosting me, he wore a perfectly tailored suit.
07:17A stunning woman was clinging to his arm.
07:21Everyone, this is Brielle, my girlfriend.
07:25Welcome.
07:26My mother's entire face lit up.
07:29Griffin pulled out Brielle's chair and poured her wine.
07:32Every move deliberate and attentive.
07:37At the head of the table, my stepfather Harrison smiled approvingly.
07:40Well, looks like Griffin finally came to his senses.
07:42For a while there, I thought my son would never bring a woman home.
07:45No one at that table knew the truth.
07:48We'd been sleeping together in secret for six years.
07:52Footsteps followed close behind me.
07:54I turned around, and Griffin was right there.
07:56Griffin and I were never just brother and sister.
07:59When I was 14, my mother married Harrison Ashford.
08:02His son, Griffin, was one year older than me.
08:05The summer I turned 18, I cornered him in the pool house and told him how I felt.
08:10You serious?
08:11Hmm.
08:12Fine.
08:13But if our parents lose their minds over this, you'd better have my back.
08:16I took that as a yes.
08:17I followed him to college in London.
08:20In that dim bedroom, we crossed every line over and over again.
08:24Do you regret it?
08:25You asked for this, Serafina.
08:27After graduation, we moved back to New York.
08:30Then everything went underground.
08:31You can't keep dragging your stepsister to these things.
08:34When are you getting a real girlfriend?
08:35No chance.
08:36I'm too busy for relationships.
08:37I'll probably never get married.
08:40That year, he spoiled me senseless.
08:42So I decided to force his hand.
08:46Griffin, I wanted to marry you.
08:48And he said yes.
08:50You two look perfect together.
08:53We flew to a tiny coastal town where nobody knew us and took wedding photos.
08:57That photo stayed in his wallet for a very long time.
09:00Until he realized I was serious.
09:03Put this away, Serafina.
09:05You are not 18 anymore.
09:06Stop being so naive.
09:08We can't get married.
09:10What about you?
09:11Are you going to marry someone else one day?
09:15Maybe, if father insists, and if there's a suitable match, I won't say no.
09:20That was how marriage worked in our world.
09:22A transaction.
09:23Two families bound together by a contract.
09:25Love was never part of the deal.
09:27Then we're done.
09:28Fine.
09:29He agreed so fast.
09:30Almost like he was scared I'd take it back.
09:33The next day, he flew to London.
09:35Said it was a business trip.
09:36He left something on my desk.
09:38Our photo.
09:39Cut into tiny pieces.
09:40I couldn't even make out our faces.
09:44For the next three months, my life was a living nightmare.
09:48I called him.
09:49But every call went straight to voicemail.
09:51Eventually, my mother noticed.
09:53My eyes were constantly red and swollen.
09:55I told her everything.
09:57She didn't even look surprised.
09:58It's Griffin, isn't it?
09:59For three months, I let out the sore and owned me in the dark.
10:02His powerful body claimed mine every single night.
10:05My own.
10:05It all started three months prior.
10:08The strongest Blackstone pack demanded a bride.
10:11My sister, Serafina, was desperate for the crown.
10:13But she had Moonheart Syndrome.
10:14Would literally kill her.
10:16So Luna Lilith summoned me.
10:17You'll be Serafina's stand-in for the Alpha's bed.
10:20Then your mother can keep scrounging through the trash.
10:22And I had no way out.
10:23Good.
10:23Just get pregnant.
10:24Give me the pup.
10:25Then your part is over.
10:26For three months, I let Alpha Sorin own me in the dark.
10:30His powerful body claimed mine every single night.
10:32Tonight was my last chance to conceive.
10:35It all started three months prior.
10:38The strongest Blackstone pack demanded a bride.
10:40My sister, Serafina, was desperate for the crown.
10:43But she had Moonheart Syndrome.

10:50You'll be Serafina's stand-in for the Alpha's bed.
10:53No!
10:54Luna, please!
10:55I can't!
10:56I'm waiting for my fated mate!
10:57Then your mother can keep scrounging through the trash like a worm and die there.
11:01My mother, Hannah, was an Omega maid here.
11:04One night, drunk, my father forced himself on her.
11:08The day I was born, Lilith shattered her legs and tossed her into the junkyard.
11:12I was kept as their maid.
11:13Now I finally understood why.
11:16And I had no way out.

11:43My body were almost a mere image of Serafina's.
11:46The same full breasts and narrow waist.
11:49And with every step, Sorin's breathing grew heavier.
11:52You're beautiful.
11:53I knew he meant Serafina.
11:55I stood on my tiptoes and kissed him.
11:57Before dawn broke, I sneaked back to Serafina's villa.
12:00She saw the love bites covering my skin.
12:02Good!
12:03Just get pregnant!
12:04Give me the pup!
12:06Then your part is over!
12:09Then her hulking maid, Grace,
12:11dragged me down and locked me back in the basement.

15:32My stomach turned.
15:33Get my hands straight.
15:36We have to run!

16:41Get that mate up here!
16:47Please, I can win him back for you.
16:50It's my honor to be the chosen mate of such a powerful, handsome alpha.
16:54He sliced a piece of venison, bringing it to his licks.

19:00The second Grace's grip loosened.
19:02I broke free.
19:03The door swung open before anyone could answer.
19:06The moment Jim caught sight of the hymn of her dress, he bolted.
19:09She was Victoria, the adopted daughter of the former Luna, Margaret.
19:15Margaret adored her, even backing her to become Sorin's mate.
19:18Moon goddess, I've never heard such a thing.
19:20The alpha's first dinner with his new wide.
19:23And his foolish mate drove him away.
19:26Oh, I forgot.
19:26You're not even marked yet.
19:28Looks like you'll be sent back, poor Seraphina.
19:30Are you here just to mock me?
19:32So what if Sorin didn't finish dinner with me?
19:34At least he claimed me last night!
19:36That was last night.
19:37Tonight you won't get the chance.
19:39Sorin's already bored of you.
19:40Now he's just disgusted by how stupid you are.
19:43Sorin isn't tired of me!
19:44He's just busy with pack duties!
19:46If lying to yourself helps, go ahead.
19:48But soon enough, you'll learn the truth.
19:51You're about to become Blackstone's favorite joke.
19:53Good luck, foolish Luna.
19:57Get that mate up here!
20:04Please, I can win him back for you!
20:06In my name.
20:07Kale.
20:08Have I finally fed that hunger, sweetheart?
20:10Every student at the Academy bonds with a guardian spirit at 18.
20:14Headmaster Sterling granted me a rare privilege.
20:16A choice between the two most powerful guardian spirits in existence.
20:19Caleb, the golden lion.
20:21Or Kale, the shadow dragon they kept chained in the depths of the Academy's dungeon.
20:25Everyone warned me to stay away from the dragon.
20:27They said Kale was a monster, volatile, violent, and untameable.
20:31But I looked the headmaster straight in the eye and gave my answer.
20:34I choose Kale.
20:35In my last life, I chose Caleb.
20:37He was the Academy's golden boy, headmaster Sterling's pride and joy.
20:41The night we bonded, he was tender, gentle.
20:43But six months later, he threw me into a dungeon and watched me scream as I was tortured to death.
20:48It was Kale who broke into that cell, covered in blood and fueled by a rage that shook the heavens.
20:52He held my cool body and let out a roar that tore the world apart.
20:55He gave up his soul for my second chance.
20:57This time, I won't make the same mistake.
21:00I walked out of the headmaster's office and across the training grounds.
21:03That's where I saw him.
21:05Kale.
21:05He was surrounded by his usual sycophants.
21:08His practice staff slipped from his hand.
21:10It clattered on the ground, stopping just a few feet away from me.
21:13He didn't even glance at me.
21:15Pick it up.
21:16Pick it up yourself.
21:18You dare talk back to me?
21:19Well, I...
21:20This is new.
21:21Two days ago, you were still glued to him.
21:23Weren't you his little shadow?
21:24Your father would roll over in his grave if he saw you now.
21:27Then, Maya arrived.
21:29She was limping, her clothes stained with fresh blood.
21:32She knelt down, her hands trembling as she reached for the staff, cold sweat beating on her forehead.
21:36Caleb grabbed her by the wrist.
21:38You should be resting.
21:40Why are you even out here?
21:41He turned back to me.
21:42Look at her.
21:43She's barely holding herself together and she still came out here for me.
21:46You?
21:47You can't even be bothered.
21:49You just came from my father's office, didn't you?
21:51What were you doing?
21:51Let me guess, you tried to play the pity card again, using your father's sacrifice to beg for a bond
21:55with me?
21:56You're pathetic, Ivy.
21:58I didn't ask for anything.
22:00The headmaster summoned me because he's personally overseeing my bonding ceremony.
22:03The other students swarmed us immediately.
22:06Caleb!
22:07If your dad is involved, I guess you're stuck with her.
22:10Look on the bright side, at least the academy will be yours one day.
22:13I'm not bonding with you.
22:15Not unless you want history repeating itself.
22:17And whatever is going on between me and Maya, keep out of it.
22:20My heart skipped a beat.
22:22History?
22:23Did he remember the past life too?
22:25Was he reborn, just like me?
22:27He swept Maya up into his arms and walked away without a backward glance.
22:30I watched them leave and let out a soft, cold laugh.
22:33Perfect.
22:34Stay with her.
22:35I never planned on being bonded to you anyway.
22:38One week later, the day of the bonding ceremony arrived.
22:40Caleb and Maya made their entrance late and they didn't care who saw why.
22:44His collar was smeared with her lipstick and fresh nail scratches lined his neck.
22:48Maya's dress was half unzipped at the back, her skin covered in dark, blooming hickeys.
22:52They didn't even try to hide it.
22:54They wanted everyone to know exactly what they'd been doing.
22:57In my past life, I would have screamed.
23:00I would have torn them apart.
23:02Now, one look was enough.
23:03I turned away.
23:05I refused to give them the satisfaction.
23:07Caleb let out a cruel, sharp laugh.
23:09What is this, Ivy?
23:10Playing hard to get?
23:11You're scared I won't choose you, aren't you?
23:12Here's the deal.
23:14You come to my room tonight.
23:16Strip off those clothes.
23:18Crawl to my bed on your knees and beg me to take you.
23:21Maya pouted, leaning against him.
23:23Don't bother, Caleb.
23:24Everybody knows she'd just lie there.
23:27Besides, my body is way better than hers.
23:31That's why you come to me every single night, isn't it?
23:35Caleb pinched her cheek.
23:37Obviously.
23:38You're worth ten of her.
23:39His hand slid down from her face, gripping her throat before sliding lower,
23:43disappearing into her neckline to squeeze her breast.
23:45Maya let out a soft, performative moan, making no move to stop him.
23:49The room erupted into laughter.
23:51Whistles and filthy insults flew at me like knives.
23:53He was following the same sick script from my last life.
23:56The public shaming, the casual cruelty.
23:58Back then, I was his favorite plaything.
24:00I'd shake with a rage that only fed his ego.
24:03He used to say my misery was the only thing that turned him on.
24:06Too bad for him.
24:07In this life, I would leave him starving for it.
24:10I turned to walk away.
24:11He snatched my wrist, his grip tightening like a vice.
24:14I didn't say a word.
24:16I just ripped my hand back and stared at him.
24:18He was losing his mind.
24:20Still playing innocent?
24:21We both know how desperate you are, Ivy.
24:23You're a slut to your core and no amount of acting can hide that rot.
24:26Watch your mouth, Caleb.
24:30He let out a sharp laugh.
24:31Since when did you find a spine?
24:32Spare me.
24:33You'll be begging for a spot in my bed soon enough, so stop pretending you have an ounce of dignity.
24:38And what makes you think I'd ever bond with you?
24:40Not me?
24:41Then who?
24:44Everyone in this academy knows you'd die for a scrape of my attention.
24:48And unless you're talking about Kale?
24:51The Shadow Dragon?
24:52He's a monster, Ivy.
24:53They keep him in the deep sub-levels because he's gone feral.
24:56He can't even maintain a human form anymore.
24:58The last cadet who tried to get near him was turned to cinders before he could even scream.
25:02Tell me, do you really have a death wish?
25:05If she's really determined to be a martyr for that beast, let her go.
25:11I just hope she knows they won't even find enough of her left to bury.
25:15My choice is none of your business.
25:18Either of you.
25:19Maya's fake smile froze.
25:20Suddenly, she switched back to her innocent act.
25:23She clutched her chest and started coughing.
25:24Ivy, please!
25:26Don't be like that!
25:27I'm only worried about what that thing will do to you!
25:30I was so sick of her act that I turned to walk away.
25:33But Maya suddenly lunged toward me.
25:35A second later, Maya hurled herself backward and hit the floor hard.
25:38Ivy, please!
25:39Tears started screaming down her face instantly.
25:42I know you're angry, but you didn't have to shove me!
25:46My leg, it hurts so much!
25:49Caleb's face went dark as he stepped in front of her.
25:51She'll be like...
25:53Really, Ivy?
25:54This is how low you're willing to stoop?
25:56Your jealousy is getting pathetic.
25:58Over Caleb's shoulder, Maya peeked out.
26:00She gave me a tiny, triumphant smirk that no one else could see.
26:03I couldn't help but laugh.
26:05I didn't even touch her.
26:08Still lying?
26:09Everyone in the Adami Akada knows you've been desperate for me.
26:12If you hadn't thrown yourself at me for years, I wouldn't have spared you a second glance.
26:17Maya reached up and tugged on his arm, her voice weak and trembling.
26:21Caleb, stop.
26:23She's just...
26:23She actually convinced herself she had a chance today.
26:27Let it go.
26:30Learn your place.
26:32Touch her again, and I'll have you expelled.
26:37You?
26:38You can't even be bothered.
26:39You just came from my father's office, didn't you?
26:41What were you doing?
26:42Let me guess.
26:43You tried to play the pity card again, using your father's sacrifice to beg for a bond with me?
26:46You're pathetic, Ivy.
26:49I didn't ask for anything.
26:51The headmaster summoned me because he's personally overseeing my bonding ceremony.
26:54The other students swarmed us immediately.
26:56Caleb!

27:07And whatever is going on between me and Maya, keep out of it.
27:11My heart skipped a beat.
27:12History?
27:13Did he remember the past life too?
27:15Was he reborn, just like me?
27:17He swept Maya up into his arms and walked away without a backward glance.
27:21I watched them leave and let out a soft, cold laugh.
27:24Perfect.
27:25Stay with her.
27:26I never planned on being bonded to you anyway.
27:28One week later, the day of the bonding ceremony arrived.

27:50I would have torn them apart.
27:52Now, one look was enough.
27:54I turned away.
27:55I refused to give them the satisfaction.
27:57Caleb let out a cruel, sharp laugh.
27:59What is this, Ivy?
28:00Playing hard to get?
28:01You're scared I won't choose you, aren't you?
28:03Here's the deal.
28:04You come to my room tonight.
28:07Strip off those clothes, crawl to my bed on your knees, and beg me to take you.
28:11Maya pouted, leaning against him.
28:13Don't bother, Caleb.
28:15Everybody knows she'd just lie there.

28:39The room erupted into laughter.
28:41Whistles and filthy insults flew at me like knives.
28:44He was following the same sick script from my last life.
28:47The public shaming, the casual cruelty.
28:49Back then, I was his favorite plaything.
28:51I'd shake with a rage that only fed his ego.
28:53He used to say my misery was the only thing that turned him on.
28:56Too bad for him.
28:57In this life, I would leave him starving for it.
29:00I turned to walk away.
29:02He snatched my wrist, his grip tightening like a vice.
29:05I didn't say a word.
29:06I just ripped my hand back and stared at him.
29:08He was losing his mind.
29:10Still playing innocent?
29:11We both know how desperate you are, Ivy.
29:13You're a slut to your core and no amount of acting can hide that rot.
29:16Watch your mouth, Caleb.
29:19Everyone thought I was chasing Alexander Black Bay, the future Alpha.
29:23What nobody knew was that every night he was away,
29:25I was sleeping in his older brother's bed.
29:27Chloe bursts in the hall, my diary in her hand.
29:30Too late.
29:31Chloe climbs onto a chair.
29:32I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him.
29:35Alexander reads it aloud.
29:36Then he drops the diary on the floor and steps on it.
29:39You're a human orphan my mother took in out of pity.
29:41Too bad the one I want isn't Alexander.
29:43It's Damien.
29:44Now the Luna claiming ceremony is finally here.
29:46I'm going to reject him in front of the entire pack.
29:49Everyone thought I was chasing Alexander Black Bay, the future Alpha.
29:53Even Alexander believed it.
29:55What nobody knew was that every night he was away,
29:57I was sleeping in his older brother's bed.
29:59Now the Luna claiming ceremony is finally here.
30:03Alexander is ready to claim me.
30:05But before he can,
30:07I'm going to reject him in front of the entire pack.
30:09I am Elena Hart, and I was born into a lie.
30:12A human orphan raised by the Blackwood Pack,
30:15the most ruthless wolf dynasty in North America.
30:18By the Elder's Blood Pact,
30:19I was prophesied to be the future Luna,
30:21destined from birth for the heir, Alexander Blackwood.
30:25But Alexander hated me.
30:27And I mated to his brother.
30:30Elena!
30:31Elena, you disgusting little freak!
30:34Chloe bursts in the hall, my diary in her hand.
30:37The pack gathering goes silent.
30:39Fifty wolves, the entire senior circle.
30:42And Alexander, my promised mate, the future Alpha King.
30:47Standing by the fireplace with a glass of scouch in his hand.
30:51My blood turns to ice.
30:53I lunge for it.
30:54Too late.
30:55Chloe climbs onto a chair.
30:57Clears her throat.
30:58Entry 47.
31:00His scent makes my wolf sing.
31:02I want to be claimed.
31:03I want...
31:05Desperate much?
31:06Chloe grins and keeps reading.
31:08Entry 112.
31:08I touch myself thinking about him again.
31:10I can't stop.
31:11I want his hands on me.
31:13I want his teeth...
31:14The room explodes.
31:16Someone bangs a fist on the table.
31:19I stand frozen, my face burning.
31:22My hands shake.
31:24Pathetic.
31:25Kai mutters, loud enough for everyone to hear.
31:27The future Luna writes like a horny teenager.
31:31Alexander doesn't move.
31:33He just watches me with those ice-gray eyes swirling his scotch.
31:36Chloe coos hopping down.
31:39Alexander.
31:40Your mate is obsessed with you.
31:42How cute.
31:43She's not obsessed with me.
31:47Alexander sets down his glass.
31:49Walks to me.
31:56You embarrassed me.
31:57In front of the entire pack.
32:00You don't think this makes you look pathetic?
32:03I lift my chin.
32:05I'm not thinking about you.
32:08Shut up.
32:10The Alpha Command in it makes my knees weak.
32:12Look at you.
32:13No self-control.
32:15No dignity.
32:16Writing dirty fantasies like some stray in heat.
32:21You think anyone else would want you?
32:25He leans down, his nose almost touching mine.
32:28My wolf doesn't stir.
32:30Not a flicker.
32:33Alexander, please.
32:37Please?
32:38Looks around at the gathered wolves.
32:41Did you hear that?
32:42The future Luna said please.
32:44Like a beggar.
32:46Like a dog.
32:47Chloe covers her mouth.
32:48Eyes dancing.
32:49Laughter ripples through the room.
32:51He takes the diary from Chloe.
32:53Scrolls.
32:54Sees entry 203.
32:56Entry 203.
32:57I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him, I want him.
33:00Alexander reads it aloud.
33:01The whole room hears.
33:03Then he drops the diary on the floor.
33:05And steps on it.
33:11You will spend the next three days in your room.
33:14Thinking about what it means to be Luna material.
33:18But the, the PAX Summit...
33:19You're uninvited.
33:22He turns away, dismissing me like trash.
33:24I'm taking Chloe instead.
33:26Chloe squeals.
33:28Fine, I said flatly.
33:30She's your chosen mate.
33:31Everyone knows it.
33:32His jaw tightened.
33:34I'm the alpha heir.
33:35You're a human orphan my mother took in out of pity.
33:37I can do whatever I want.
33:40He shoves me back and leaves.
33:43The pack disperses.
33:52I pick up my diary.
33:54Open it.
33:55Entry 01.
33:56Invisible to anyone but me.
33:58Too bad the one I want isn't Alexander.
34:00It's Damien.
34:01Damien was his brother.
34:03He was the one I wanted to sleep with.
34:05My real faded mate.
34:09Three days of house abreast.
34:11Three days of Alexander's lessons.
34:13Breakfast on the terrace.
34:14He gestures for the server to set my plate at the far end of the long table, 20 feet from
34:18where he sits with Chloe.
34:20You're not sitting with me until you earn it.
34:23Earn it how?
34:25Stop being embarrassing.
34:27He doesn't look up from his newspaper.
34:29Write less.
34:30Serve more.
34:32Be worthy of the name Blackwood.
34:33Lunch in the garden.
34:34He walks by with Chloe on his arm.
34:35She wears a white dress.
34:36Silk.
34:37Flowing.
34:37The exact color reserved for the luna.
34:39My color.
34:39The one I was supposed to wear at the ceremony.
34:41This is what a luna looks like, Elena.
34:44Poise.
34:45Grace.
34:46Elegance.
34:47Not whatever you are.
34:48Chloe twirls.
34:49The dress catches the light.
34:51I meet his eyes.
34:52No fear.
34:53I've built armor from every insult he's ever thrown.
34:57Dinner in the hall.
34:59The long table glows with candlelight.
35:01He makes me serve wine.
35:03To him.
35:04To Chloe.
35:05To Kai.
35:06To every wolf who laughed at me three days ago and would laugh again tomorrow.
35:11Considerate training.
35:12Aluna serves her pack.
35:14I look at the bottle in my hand.
35:16At the wolves watching, waiting for me to break.
35:19Waiting for the tears.
35:20Waiting for the scene.
35:22I'm not a servant.
35:24You're whatever I say you are.
35:26He finally looks up.
35:27Ice-free eyes.
35:28Zero warmth.
35:29My mother promised you to me, but that doesn't make you my equal.
35:32It makes you my obligation.
35:35And right now, Elena, you're a very disappointing one.
35:37I pour the wine.
35:39Not one drop spills.
35:40My hand is steady because I've practiced this in my mind a thousand times.
35:44Bend.
35:45Bend.
35:45Until I don't have to bend anymore.
35:48Go to bed.
35:48You're depressing everyone.
35:50I set down the bottle.
35:52Straighten my spine.
35:53I walk to my room with my head high.
35:57Through the wall.
35:58She'll come around.
35:59They always do.
35:59He sounds so sure of himself.
36:01So completely, utterly sure.
36:03He's wrong.
36:03I'm leaving.
36:04That night, through the wall, I hear Chloe giggling.
36:07Alexander's low voice.
36:08The sound of them together.
36:09I open my ginery and write.
36:11Entry 2 is 04.
36:12Soon, I will be with him the claiming ceremony.
36:14Close the ginery.
36:15Close my eyes.
36:16A knock.
36:17Soft.
36:18Three taps.
36:19Elena?
36:20That voice.
36:21The one I've known since I was 12.
36:23It's me.
36:23Damien.
36:26Everyone thought I was chasing Alexander Black Bay.
36:29The future alpha.
36:30What nobody knew was that every night he was away, I was sleeping in his older brother's bed.
36:34Chloe bursts in the hall.
36:36My diary in her hand.
36:37Too late.
36:38Chloe climbs onto a chair.
36:40I want him.
36:40I want him.
36:41I want him.
36:41I want him.
36:42I want him.
36:42Alexander reads it aloud.
36:44Then he drops the diary on the floor and steps on it.
36:46You're a human orphan my mother took in out of pity.
36:48Too bad the one I want isn't Alexander.
36:50It's Damien.
36:51Now the Luna claiming ceremony is finally here.
36:54I'm going to reject him in front of the entire pack.
36:56Everyone thought I was chasing Alexander Black Bay.
36:59The future alpha.
37:00Even Alexander believed it.
37:02What nobody knew was that every night he was away, I was sleeping in his older brother's bed.
37:07Now the Luna claiming ceremony is finally here.
37:10Alexander is ready to claim me.
37:12But before he can, I'm going to reject him in front of the entire pack.
37:17I am Elena Hart, and I was born into a lie.
37:19A human orphan raised by the Blackwood Pack, the most ruthless wolf dynasty in North America.
37:25By the Elder's Blood Pact, I was prophesied to be the future Luna.
37:29Destined from birth for the heir, Alexander Blackwood.
37:32But Alexander hated me.
37:35And I mated to his brother.
37:38Elena!
37:39You disgusting little freak!
37:41Chloe bursts in the hall, my diary in her hand.
37:44The pack gathering goes silent.
37:46Fifty wolves.
37:47The entire senior circle.
37:49And Alexander.
37:51My promised mate.
37:52The future alpha king.
37:54Standing by the fireplace with a glass of scouch in his hand.
37:58My blood turns to ice.
38:00I lunge for it.
38:02Too late.
38:03Chloe climbs onto a chair.
38:05Clears her throat.
38:06Entry 47.
38:07His scent makes my wolf sing.
38:09I want to be claimed.
38:11I want...
38:12Desperate much?
38:13Chloe grins and keeps reading.
38:15Entry 112.
38:16I touch myself thinking about him again.
38:17I can't stop.
38:18I want his hands on me.
38:20I want his teeth...
38:21The room explodes.
38:23Someone bangs a fist on the table.
38:26I stand frozen.
38:28My face burning.
38:29My hands shake.
38:32Pathetic.
38:32Kai mutters.
38:33Loud enough for everyone to hear.
38:35The future Luna writes like a horny teenager.
38:38Alexander doesn't move.
38:40He just watches me with those ice gray eyes swirling his scotch.
38:44Chloe coos hopping down.
38:46Alexander.
38:47Your mate is obsessed with you.
38:49How cute.
38:51She's not obsessed with me.
38:54Alexander sets down his glass.
38:56Walks to me.
39:03You embarrassed me.
39:05In front of the entire pack.
39:07You don't think this makes you look pathetic?
39:11I lift my chin.
39:12I'm not thinking about you.
39:15Shut up.
39:17The Alpha Command in it makes my knees weak.
39:19Look at you.
39:20No self-control.
39:22No dignity.
39:23Writing dirty fantasies like some stray in heat.
39:28You think anyone else would want you?
39:33He leans down, his nose almost touching mine.
39:36My wolf doesn't stir.
39:37Not a flicker.
39:40Alexander, please.
39:44Please?
39:45Looks around at the gathered wolves.
39:48Did you hear that?
39:49The future Luna said please.
39:51Like a beggar.
39:53Like a dog.
39:54Chloe covers her mouth.
39:55Eyes dancing.
39:56Laughter ripples through the room.
39:58He takes the diary from Chloe.
40:01Scrolls.
40:01Sees entry 203.
40:03Entry 203.
40:05I want him.
40:05I want him.
40:06I want him.
40:06I want him.
40:07I want him.
40:07Alexander reads it aloud.
40:09The whole room hears.
40:10Then he drops the diary on the floor.
40:12And steps on it.
40:18You will spend the next three days in your room, thinking about what it means to be Luna material.
40:25But the, the Pax Summit-
40:27You're uninvited.
40:29He turns away, dismissing me like trash.
40:32I'm taking Chloe instead.
40:34Chloe squeals.
40:35Fine, I said flatly.
40:37She's your chosen mate.
40:38Everyone knows it.
40:39His jaw tightened.
40:41I'm the alpha heir.
40:42You're a human orphan my mother took in out of pity.
40:45I can do whatever I want.
40:47He shoves me back and leaves.
40:50The pack disperses.
40:59I pick up my diary.
41:01Open it.
41:02Entry 01.
41:04Invisible to anyone but me.
41:05Too bad the one I want isn't Alexander.
41:07It's Damien.
41:08Damien was his brother.
41:10He was the one I wanted to sleep with.
41:13My real fated mate.
41:16Three days of house abreast.
41:18Three days of Alexander's lessons.
41:20Breakfast on the terrace.
41:22He gestures for the server to set my plate at the far end of the long table,
41:25twenty feet from where he sits with Chloe.
41:27You're not sitting with me until you earn it.
41:30Earn it how?
41:32Stop being embarrassing.
41:34He doesn't look up from his newspaper.
41:36Write less.
41:38Serve more.
41:39Be worthy of the name Blackwood.
41:41Lunch in the garden.
41:41He walks by with Chloe on his arm.
41:43She wears a white dress.
41:44Silk.
41:44Flowing.
41:44The exact color reserved for the luna.
41:46My color.
41:47The one I was supposed to wear at the ceremony.
41:48This is what a luna looks like, Elena.
41:51Poise.
41:52Grace.
41:53Elegance.
41:55Chloe twirls.
41:57Chloe twirls.
41:57Chloe twirls.
41:57The dress catches the light.
41:58I meet his eyes.
42:00No fear.
42:00I've built armor from every insult he's ever thrown.
42:04Dinner in the hall.
42:06The long table glows with candlelight.
42:09He makes me serve wine.
42:10To him.
42:11To Chloe.
42:12To Kai.
42:13To every wolf who laughed at me three days ago and would laugh again tomorrow.
42:18Considerate training.
42:19A luna serves her pack.
42:22I look at the bottle in my hand.
42:23At the wolves watching, waiting for me to break.
42:26Waiting for the tears.
42:28Waiting for the scene.
42:29I'm not a servant.
42:31You're whatever I say you are.
42:33He finally looks up.
42:35Ice-free eyes.
42:36Zero warmth.
42:37My mother promised you to me, but that doesn't make you my equal.
42:39It makes you my obligation.
42:42And right now, Elena, you're a very disappointing one.
42:45I pour the wine.
42:46Not one drop spills.
42:47My hand is steady because I've practiced this in my mind a thousand times.
42:51Bend.
42:52Bend.
42:53Until I don't have to bend anymore.
42:55Go to bed.
42:56You're depressing everyone.
42:57I set down the bottle.
42:59Straighten my spine.
43:00I walk to my room with my head high.
43:04Through the wall.
43:05She'll come around.
43:06They always do.
43:07He sounds so sure of himself.
43:08So completely, utterly sure.
43:10He's wrong.
43:11I'm leaving.
43:11That night, through the wall, I hear Chloe giggling.
43:14Alexander's low voice.
43:16The sound of them together.
43:16I open my ginery, and write.
43:18Entry 2 is 04.
43:19Soon, I will be with him the claiming ceremony.
43:21Close the ginery.
43:22Close my eyes.
43:23A knock.
43:25Soft.
43:25Three taps.
43:27Elena?
43:27That voice.
43:28The one I've known since I was 12.
43:30It's me.
43:31Damien.
43:32Three days of house abreast.
43:33Three days of Alexander's lessons.
43:35Breakfast on the terrace.
43:36He gestures for the server to set my plate at the far end of the long table,
43:4020 feet from where he sits with Chloe.
43:43You're not sitting with me until you earn it.
43:45Earn it how?
43:47Stop being embarrassing.
43:49He doesn't look up from his newspaper.
43:51Write less.
43:53Serve more.
43:54Be worthy of the name Blackwood.
43:55Lunch in the garden.

44:03This is what a Luna looks like, Elena.

44:07Grace.
44:08Elegance.
44:09Not whatever you are.
44:10Chloe twirls.
44:11The dress catches the light.
44:13I meet his eyes.
44:15No fear.

45:29Alexander's low voice.

45:32I open my ginery and write.
45:33Entry 2 is 04.
45:34Soon, I will be with him the claiming ceremony.
45:36Close the ginery.
45:37Close my eyes.
45:38A knock.
45:39Soft.
45:40Three taps.
45:42Elena?
45:42That voice.
45:43The one I've known since I was 12.
45:45It's me.
45:45Damien.
45:46When I opened my eyes again, I was reborn.
45:48In this life, I gave up flipping a coin and also gave up Adrian.
45:52I am willing to go to the borderlands.
45:53I will destroy everything you hold dear.
45:56Adrian burst in and kicked me hard in the stomach.
45:58Just as she was about to touch it, she let go.
46:00I watched the bracelet break into several pieces.
46:02Tears.
46:02Please, let me go.
46:04I swear I didn't kill Chloe.
46:06You think I would believe you?
46:09Get started.
46:11Please.
46:11No, no, no.
46:12In our family, one beastman had to marry the border lord, the so-called brutal monster.
46:17The other would marry Adrian, the only son of the Jones family in the Central Tribe.
46:21Mom made my sister and I flip a coin.
46:23In my past life, my sister went to the borderlands, but on the way, she was raped by a low
46:26-ranking
46:27pig beastman and killed herself.
46:29Before dying, she falsely accused me of rigging the draw.
46:32Adrian took me to my sister's grave and had the pig beastman rape me when I was already
46:35in labor.
46:36Whatever Chloe suffered, I will make you suffer again.
46:40I cried and begged him to spare me.
46:42But he just walked-
46:43When I opened my eyes again, I was reborn.
46:45In this life, I gave up flipping a coin and also gave up Adrian.
46:49Before Mom could react, I immediately said,
46:51Mother, I am willing to go to the borderlands and marry the border lord.
46:55Let my sister take my place in marrying into the Jones family.
46:59Hearing that I was willing to go, my mom and Chloe were both shocked.
47:05What did you say?
47:06Aren't you an Adrian?
47:08The pain of being violated by a low beastman still seemed fresh.
47:13Mom, I've decided.
47:15I'll go.
47:16Mom stared at me solemnly for a long time, then finally nodded, silently agreeing.
47:20A figure rushed in and hugged Chloe.
47:21It was Adrian.
47:22Perhaps it's not too late to fix everything.
47:24Auntie, I want to marry Chloe.
47:26I know you wanted me to marry Joy, but I don't love her.
47:27I was stunned.
47:28You didn't do this the last time.
47:29It seemed Adrian had also been reborn.
47:31Joy, give up that idea.
47:33Even if I die, I won't mock you.
47:36That look was exactly the same as in my past life, when he watched me being violated.
47:39I couldn't help but shiver.
47:41Joy has already volunteered to go to the borderlands.
47:43Go prepare yourself and come marry Chloe.
47:45How wonderful, Chloe.
47:46I can marry you.
47:47My heart ached.
47:48That gentleness once was only for me.
47:50Adrian took Chloe away to buy wedding supplies.
47:52Mom, this time when I go to the borderlands, I accept the marriage alliance.
47:55Mom paused for a moment, nodded, and left.
47:58She didn't say anything, but I know she loved me.
48:00Because last time, she cheated on flipping coins so I could stay.
48:03Because she knew I liked Adrian.
48:06I went to the market to buy things for the borderlands, and ran into Adrian and Chloe.
48:09They were picking out a pink wedding dress.
48:11In my past life, I had also liked that dress.
48:14But because it was expensive and rarely worn, Adrian refused.
48:17But now, watching him buy it without hesitation, my heart still ached.
48:20Joy, what a coincidence!
48:22Our wedding date is set.
48:24Three days from now, Joy, you must come.
48:26Just as I was about to hurry away, Chloe called out.
48:28Without your blessing, I would be sad.
48:31I need to prepare for the borderlands, so I won't-
48:33If you dare not come, I'll stew Pearl and add it to the feast.
48:37Pearl was a little black dog.
48:39A gift from my own Adrian's mother, Olivia.
48:41Olivia loved me like her own daughter.
48:43After Adrian's mother died, Pearl became my only memory of her.
48:46I nodded and agreed.
48:47Just as I turned to leave, Chloe grabbed my hand.
48:49Joy, from now on, I will be the Jones family's daughter-in-law.
48:53Shouldn't this bracelet be given to me?
48:54This isn't a Jones family heirloom.
48:56It's just a keepsake from Olivia.
48:59Why do you have Chloe's eyes immediately reddened?
49:01Joy, are you saying that just because you're upset I'm marrying Adrian and it's my fault?
49:06What's wrong with that woman?
49:08Did she say his sister's married?
49:09I just think Olivia's bracelet should be on her future Don Law's wrist.
49:13Adrian frowned, his face full of sympathy.
49:16Take it off.
49:16Those three words were cold, without a trace of emotion.
49:18I held the bracelet on my wrist.
49:20I wanted to say no, but meeting Adrian's eyes, I didn't have the courage to refuse.
49:24Trembling, I took off the bracelet and handed it to Chloe.
49:27A flash of cunning passed through her eyes.
49:29Just as she was about to touch it, she let go.
49:31My eyes widened.
49:32I reached out to catch it.
49:33But it was too late.
49:34I watched the bracelet break into several pieces.
49:37Tears fell uncontrollably.
49:39Chloe gasped in fake shock, covering her mouth, her eyes full of grievance.
49:44Joy, why would you do this?
49:45If you want to marry Adrian, just say so.
49:47I can go to the Borderlands in your place.
49:49For the tribe, I would give up love.
49:52But this is Adrian's mother's keepsake!
49:55Aye.
49:55She spoke loudly, drawing pointing fingers from the crowd.
49:58Adrian walked toward me step by step, his eyes dark and fierce.
50:01He slowly crouched down, his fingernails turning into translucent claws.
50:04He pressed my hand hard onto the bone fraggings.
50:06Cut your little tricks.
50:08No matter what you do, I won't mark you.
50:10Joy, don't make me kill you again.
50:12Adrian left with Chloe in his arms.
50:13I looked at my bloodied hands.
50:15Compared to the pain in my heart, the pain in my hands was insignificant.
50:18Olivia, I'm sorry.
50:19The promise I made to you I have to break.
50:21When I got home, the meal was already prepared.
50:24Only Chloe remained, smiling gently.
50:25She pushed a large pot of stewed meat toward me.
50:29Seeing the sly smile on Chloe's lips, my heart pounded.
50:32Don't look, Joy.
50:34Your pearl is right here.
50:37She pushed the pot toward me again.
50:39My stomach turned and I couldn't stop dry heaving.
50:42Since you're going to the borderlands anyway, it's a waste to keep the animal.
50:45Isn't me thoughtful?
50:46Letting you have a good meal before you suffer in the countryside.
50:49I bit my lip hard.
50:50The taste of blood filled my mouth.
50:51I slapped her hard across the face.
50:53Why do you still torment me at every turn?
50:54Chloe, we are sisters.
50:56You took everything that should have been mine.
51:00My dear sister, in this life, you will suffer in my place.
51:05I will destroy everything you hold dear.
51:08Since we've both been reborn, you also know that Adrian tortured me to death.
51:11I didn't know you suffered those things.
51:14If I had known, I would never have let you go to the borderlands.
51:17I just want to ask you one thing.
51:19What did you write in that letter?
51:20Playing the good person now?
51:22Too late.
51:23As for that letter, do you want to know?
51:25She slowly walked toward me.
51:26Just as she reached me, she fell backward.
51:28The large pot of steaming stew went down with Chloe.
51:30In an instant, her exposed skin was scalded bright red.
51:33Adrian burst in and kicked me hard in the stomach.
51:36I fell.
51:37Then another heavy slap landed.
51:40My ears rang with pain.
51:41I couldn't hear Adrian's curses.
51:43He quickly picked up Chloe and rinsed her burns.
51:47The world went silent.
51:49After Adrian tended to Chloe's injuries, he grabbed him throat.
51:52His claws dug into the skin near my neck, just an inch from my gland.
51:55Chloe tried to pull him away, but Adrian wouldn't let go.
51:57Adrian! Let go, please! She's dying!
51:58The ringing and suffocation overwhelmed me.
52:00I didn't even have to strengthen fight back.
52:02My eyes rolled back.
52:03I thought, maybe I should just die.
52:05Finally, Adrian let go.
52:06I greedily gasped for air.
52:08I told you I can kill you once and I can do it again.
52:12Joy, don't test my limits.
52:13Then he grabbed my hair and forced my head down in front of Chloe.
52:17I'm sorry, please.
52:19Forgive me.
52:20I collapsed onto the ground like a puppet, unable to even cry out in pain.
52:23Seemingly satisfied with my submission, Adrian left with Chloe.
52:27I numbly got up,
52:30bandaged my wounds, and cleaned the house.
52:32I packed my luggage and went to the Borderlands early.
52:35Mom paused for a moment, nodded, and left.
52:38She didn't say anything, but I know she loved me.
52:41Because last time, she cheated on flipping coins so I could stay.
52:44Because she knew I liked Adrian.
52:46I went to the market to buy things for the Borderlands and ran into Adrian and Chloe.
52:50They were picking out a pink wedding dress.
52:52In my past life, I had also liked that dress.
52:54But because it was expensive and rarely worn, Adrian refused.
52:57But now, watching him buy it without hesitation, my heart still ached.
53:01Joy, what a coincidence!
53:03Our wedding date is set.
53:05Three days from now.
53:05Joy, you must come.
53:06Just as I was about to hurry away, Chloe called out.
53:09Without your blessing, I would be sad.
53:11I need to prepare for the Borderlands so I won't-
53:14If you dare not come, I'll stew Pearl and add it to the feast.
53:18Pearl was a little black dog.
53:19A gift from my own Adrian's mother, Olivia.
53:21Olivia loved me like her own daughter.
53:23After Adrian's mother died, Pearl became my only memory of her.
53:26I nodded and agreed.
53:27Just as I turned to leave, Chloe grabbed my hand.
53:29Joy, from now on, I will be the Jones family's daughter-in-law.
53:33Shouldn't this bracelet be given to me?
53:35This isn't a Jones family heirloom.
53:37It's just a keepsake from Olivia.
53:39Why do you have Chloe's eyes immediately reddened?
53:41Joy, are you saying that just because you're upset, I'm marrying Adrian and it's my fault?
53:47What's wrong with that woman?
53:48Did she say the sister's married?
53:50I just think Olivia's bracelet should be on her future daughter-in-law's wrist.
53:54Adrian frowned, his face full of sympathy.
53:56Take it off.
53:57Those three words were cold, without a trace of emotion.
53:59I held the bracelet on my wrist.
54:01I wanted to say no, but meeting Adrian's eyes, I didn't have the courage to refuse.
54:05Trembling, I took off the bracelet and handed it to Chloe.
54:07A flash of cunning passed through her eyes.
54:09Just as she was about to touch it, she let go.
54:11My eyes widened.
54:12I reached out to catch it.
54:14But it was too late.
54:15I watched the bracelet break into several pieces.
54:17Tears fell uncontrollably.
54:19Chloe gasped in fake shock, covering her mouth, her eyes full of grievance.
54:24Joy, why would you do this?
54:26If you want to marry Adrian, just say so.
54:28I can go to the Bordelands in your place.
54:29For the tribe, I would give up love.
54:32But this is Adrian's mother's keepsake!
54:35Aye.
54:36She spoke loudly, drawing pointing fingers from the crowd.
54:38Adrian walked toward me step by step, his eyes dark and fierce.
54:41He slowly crouched down, his fingernails turning into translucent claws.
54:44He pressed my hand hard onto the bone fraggings.
54:47Cut your little tricks.
54:48No matter what you do, I won't mark you.
54:50Joy, don't make me kill you again.
54:52Adrian left with Chloe in his arms.
54:54I looked at my bloodied hands.
54:55Compared to the pain in my heart, the pain in my hands was insignificant.
54:58Olivia, I'm sorry.
54:59The promise I made to you I have to break.
55:02When I got home, the meal was already prepared.
55:04Only Chloe remained, smiling gently.
55:06She pushed a large pot of stewed meat toward me.
55:10Seeing the sly smile on Chloe's lips, my heart pounded.
55:13Don't look, Joy.
55:14Your pearl is right here.
55:18She pushed the pot toward me again.
55:20My stomach churned, and I couldn't stop dry heaving.
55:22Since you're going to the borderlands anyway, it's a waste to keep the animal.
55:26Isn't me thoughtful?
55:27Letting you have a good meal before you suffer in the countryside.
55:30I bit my lip hard.
55:31The taste of blood filled my mouth.
55:32I slapped her hard across the face.
55:33Why do you still torment me at every turn?
55:35Chloe, we are sisters!
55:37You took everything that should have been mine!
55:40My dear sister, in this life, you will suffer in my place.
55:45I will destroy everything you hold dear.
55:48Since we've both been reborn, you also know that Adrian tortured me to death.
55:52I didn't know you suffered those things.
55:54If I had known, I would never have let you go to the borderlands.
55:57I just want to ask you one thing.
55:59What did you write in that letter?
56:01Playing the good person now?
56:02Too late.
56:03As for that letter, do you want to know?
56:05She slowly walked toward me.
56:07Just as she reached me, she fell backward.
56:09The large pot of steaming stew went down with Chloe.
56:11In an instant, her exposed skin was scalded bright red.
56:13Adrian burst in and kicked me hard in the stomach.
56:17I fell.
56:17Then another heavy slab landed.
56:20My ears rang with pain.
56:22I couldn't hear Adrian's curses.
56:23He quickly picked up Chloe and rinsed her burns.
56:28The world went silent.
56:30After Adrian tended to Chloe's injuries, he grabbed him and throat.
56:32His claws dug into the skin near my neck, just an inch from my gland.
56:36Chloe tried to pull him away, but Adrian wouldn't let go.
56:38She's dying!
56:38The ringing and suffocation overwhelmed me.
56:41I didn't even have to strengthen the fight back.
56:43My eyes rolled back.
56:44I thought, maybe I should just die.
56:46Finally, Adrian let go.
56:47I greedily gasped for air.
56:49I told you I can kill you once and I can do it again.
56:52Joy, don't test my limits.
56:54Then he grabbed my hair and forced my head down in front of Chloe.
56:58I'm sorry, please.
56:59Forgive me.
57:00I collapsed onto the ground like a puppet, unable to even cry out in pain.
57:04Seemingly satisfied with my submission, Adrian left with Chloe.
57:07I numbly got up, bandaged my wounds, and cleaned the house.
57:12I packed my luggage and went to the Borderlands early.
57:15Alrighty.
57:16Cheers.
57:16Cheers.
