00:00I was reborn. Back to the night I unbond my chest before the Alpha here. Thank the moon goddess. I
00:07still had not told him my secret.
00:09Cassian's death was spread with portraits of the finest women in all of Silver Air Pack. Just like in my
00:14last life, he waved me over.
00:15Saren, look at these. Who would be my future Luna?
00:19In my last life, I was so jealous that I confessed everything. Born with the moon curse. I became male
00:26by day, female by night.
00:28My wolf was chained deep inside. No shifting. No mate bond. Only the mark of my true mate could break
00:36the curse.
00:37The moment Cassian learned the truth, he swore I was the woman he loved most. I got what I wanted.
00:44He marked me.
00:46From that day on, I stayed in my female body, and I thought the curse was gone for good. I
00:52happily took my place as his future Luna.
00:55My wolf stayed silent. I brushed it off as fallout from the curse. But later, he fell for another woman.
01:02Ten years, he froze me out.
01:04Our pups didn't survive the pack's struggle for power. In this life, I refused to mate with him. Never.
01:10So I pointed to Alora Ashfield, the woman he later favored most.
01:14Her. Alara Ashfield. She's your best move.
01:18Cassian went still. He hadn't expected me to choose Alara.
01:22That woman's too rigid. Every talk with her feels like a council meeting. I won't like her.
01:28That didn't matter. He would, later. On the day I died in the Luna's Tower, he told me...
01:33If I could live this again, I'd rather never have known what you are.
01:39Then I would have married Alara.
01:41I came back to myself and spoke.
01:43Lord Ashfield is head counsellor of the Council of the Pack Council.
01:47If you marry Alora, the whole Pack Council stands with you.
01:51Your claim to the throne will hold.
01:54Cassian looked up. His eyes locked onto mine.
01:58After a long silence, he said...
02:00I see.
02:01I knew my words sank in.
02:03Even in my past life, he had meant to marry Alara anyway, after weighing his options.
02:09Tonight was only his way of testing my reaction.
02:12He wanted to see if I still cared.
02:15I served as his beta for five years.
02:18Shared the same tower.
02:20I ate at the same table.
02:22He knew nothing about my curse.
02:24He thought I was just a man.
02:26Beneath the disguise, I was a woman.
02:28One who often helped him with strategy.
02:30Over time, I fell for him.
02:33Even he started to feel something different for me.
02:36But in his eyes, I was still a man.
02:38As the alpha hare, he needed pups to carry on the Valamont bloodline.
02:43So whatever he felt for me, he could only bury it.
02:46He would never get the chance to say it out loud.
02:49Just before I walked out, Cassian let out a sigh.
02:52Saren, if only you had a twin sister.
02:54If she were anything like you, I'd find a way.
02:57Whatever the cost.
02:59Under the moonlight, I saw the look in his eyes.
03:01It was dark, heavy, and dripping with regret.
03:05His jaw clenched tight.
03:06His Adam's chogel bobbed.
03:08I smiled.
03:10Too bad she doesn't exist.
03:12I knew how he operated.
03:14Once the marriage was locked in, he would cut me out of his life.
03:17If anyone found out the alpha hare fell for a man who couldn't give him an heir,
03:22the pack council would dethrone him.
03:23The pack would shake.
03:25The Valamart family would be ruined by his scandal.
03:27A future king could not afford to hesitate.
03:30A king who hesitates is already dead.
03:33I stood outside the iron gates of Blackthorn Manor, looking up at the carved family crest.
03:39My heart mummered against my ribs.
03:42During my ten years as his Luna, Cassian claimed the Blackthorns held too much power in the
03:47pack council, said we threatened the crown's independence.
03:50He issued a pack dissimilation order, stripped our titles, and exiled us to the borderlands.
03:56My father, Lord Gregor Blackthorn, was a fierce warrior his whole life.
04:00His dying words burned with hatred.
04:02I spent seventeen years forging you into something that could sit at the highest table.
04:07And you threw it all away, for a man who will never choose you over his crown.
04:11From that day on, I lived with regret.
04:14Thank the moon goddess.
04:15She had given me one more chance.
04:18I sat in my study all night, by dawn.
04:21The news broke.
04:22The alpha king issued a royal decree.
04:24Cassian and Alera Ashfield were officially engaged.
04:27At the same time, my own order arrived.
04:30Cassian pulled strings for me.
04:32In two months, I was departing for the south.
04:35My new title was Territorial Warden of Ashenmore.
04:38I marched to the Hare's Tower at once.
04:41But Cassian shut me out.
04:42He sent a messenger instead.
04:44I'd been looking forward to seeing him.
04:46We're Blood Oath brothers.
04:47My closest ally.
04:49Looking out for you is part of the deal.
04:51No thanks needed.
04:51He called me his closest ally.
04:53No thanks needed.
04:54But he didn't know.
04:55In my past life, I was his Luna for a decade.
04:59And taking me out was the only thing on his mind.
05:03Ashenmere was rich and laid back.
05:05Far from Silvercrest's power games.
05:07For me, that was all upside.
05:09Even my father downed a few extra shots at the family dinner.
05:12He raised a toast.
05:13Two years governing your own territory.
05:15That'll prove to everyone what you're capable of.
05:16By this time in my last life, I had already survived my mating night with Cassian.
05:21The curse shattered.
05:22I was fully female again.
05:23Snow dumped from the sky.
05:25Cassian stood outside the Alpha King's hall.
05:27He used his raw Alpha bloodline to block a king's command.
05:30Never backing down.
05:31The Alpha King was furious.
05:33He would not accept a moonbound.
05:36A cursed woman who could not shift as his son's future Luma.
05:40The throne or a woman.
05:42Tell me you can see the difference.
05:44Cassian dropped to one knee.
05:45He never let anyone see his emotions.
05:47His face always showed nothing.
05:49But at that moment, a tear slipped out.
05:51Father, if I can't have Saren Blackthorn, the crown means nothing to me.
05:56In the end, the Alpha King gave in.
05:58But after that day, they bled my father's power dry in the shadows.
06:02In just a few months, his hair turned gray.
06:05Now, none of that would happen.
06:07From that day forward, I threw myself into preparing for my post.
06:12As for Cassian, he was busy locking down his future Luna.
06:16He stopped calling for me.
06:18Kale Valamont, the second prince.
06:20And I knew each other fairly well.
06:22He was notoriously idle.
06:24Never took anything seriously.
06:26But out of nowhere, he showed up at my door to question me.
06:29You two were inseparable.
06:31He personally arranged the Ashmore post for you.
06:34I'm genuinely jealous.
06:35So why haven't I seen you together lately?
06:37I smiled but said nothing.
06:39But I knew it.
06:40From here on out, Cassian and I were only going to drift apart.
06:44That was all.
06:46Not long after, Kale told me.
06:49Cassian and Allura were making a public appearance at the Lakeside party for the Moonfire Festival.
06:54He pushed me to tag along.
06:57And watch.
06:58Honestly, Saren, is something wrong with your head?
07:01You've been icing Cassian out for way too long.
07:04If you don't show your face soon, he's going to forget you.
07:08That was exactly what I wanted.
07:10I turned him down.
07:11I'm not going.
07:13I'm departing for Ashmore in two months.
07:15I've got too much to do.
07:17Kale backed off at the time.
07:19But on Moonfire Festival night, he sweet-talked me out of my tower.
07:24Cassian has never, not once, been close to a woman.
07:27Aren't you the least bit curious what he's like with Allura?
07:30Honestly, I was not curious.
07:31Because I had already seen her.
07:33He would neglect everyone for her.
07:35She was frail and could not carry pups.
07:37Until the day I died in my last life, the royal family had only the son and daughter.
07:41I gave him back when he still loved me.
07:43He would sneak her out of the palace at midnight.
07:45Just to watch plays.
07:47For ten years, every noblewoman in Silverhouse learned to ride.
07:50Only because Allura thought it was fun.
07:52A dull ache hit me deep under my ribs.
07:54My pups.
07:55Forget it.
07:56I would not be having pups in this life anyway.
07:59With that, I turned to leave.
08:00Kale grabbed my arm and waved at someone in the distance.
08:04Cassian!
08:06I froze in my tracks.
08:08Wasn't he supposed to be at the lake now?
08:10How the hell had we run into him halfway there?
08:13Then I felt a gaze land on me.
08:15Heavy.
08:16Burning.
08:17And gone just as fast.
08:18The crowd was packed.
08:20Silver bonfires lit up every maskin in the square.
08:23On Moonfire Festival night, the air was thick with the scent of unmated wolves.
08:28All of them chasing and testing one another.
08:31I turned around.
08:33Met Cassian's eyes.
08:34He had no intention of speaking to me.
08:38Instead, he started talking to Kale.
08:40They walked ahead, leaving me half a block behind in a blink.
08:45I noticed Allura was not at his side.
08:48Later, I learned this appearance had been arranged by the Alpha King and Luna Queen.
08:53But at the last minute, Cassian had stood Alina up.
08:59I had no interest in tailing them.
09:01So I turned the other way.
09:03Back in the day, Cassian never let me me out of his sight.
09:07Now, he would not care whether I stayed or went.
09:11He had Kale now.
09:12Allura too.
09:13And one day, he would have his pups.
09:16Still thank the Moon Goddess.
09:18I was no longer that jealous and neglected Luna.
09:21I wandered deep into the festival.
09:24Played a couple of street games.
09:26On the way, I happened to save a girl from a few rogues.
09:31She wore a silver mask.
09:32Her hood pulled low.
09:34Her voice cheeky with sobs.
09:36Hard to hear clearly.
09:37I was supposed to meet someone tonight.
09:39He didn't come.
09:40I did not think much of it.
09:42Tossed her a few comforting words.
09:45But the second we parted ways, someone slammed into me.
09:49Kale bear hugged me, pounding his fist into my back.
09:52I quickly grabbed his wrist.
09:53What happened?
09:54Kale gave a huff.
09:55You impossible creature.
09:57You vanished on us.
09:58We've been tearing this place apart looking for you.
10:00I laughed.
10:01It's not like we never got separated before.
10:03I'm a blackthorn.
10:04What's going to happen to me?
10:05I told him the same thing.
10:07But you know Cassian.
10:08He heard about the rogues and nearly lost his mind.
10:11He stepped aside.
10:13Cassian was standing behind him.
10:14He just stared at me.
10:16Unmoval.
10:17I noticed his eyes.
10:18The color was darker.
10:20His wolf was on the razor's edge of shifting.
10:22The way Kale was holding me, it looked way too intimate.
10:26Kale, of course, noticed nothing.
10:28His arm tightened around me, and his voice turned teasing.
10:32I've seen the finest women in the Velvet Den, and your waist is narrower than any of theirs.
10:37It's a damn shame you're not a woman.
10:39The moment the words left his mouth, my body went stiff.
10:43Damn it.
10:44It was nighttime.
10:46I was back in my female body.
10:47The moonstone pendant held the illusion in place.
10:50The wolf's babe's scent blocker suppressed my pheromones.
10:52But physical contact this close?
10:55His hand was on my waist through my thin shirt.
10:58He could feel it.
11:00The curves were all wrong for a man.
11:02I prayed he wouldn't notice.
11:05Cassian suddenly let out a cold laugh.
11:07He stared at me.
11:08His eyes had fully shifted to deep amber.
11:13Saren Blacktharn as a woman?
11:15No one in Silverest would dare take her.
11:17Then he turned.
11:19And strode away.
11:22Without a glance back.
11:26I knew Cassian inside out.
11:28He was furious.
11:30Good.
11:31That was exactly how it should be.
11:33It pushed us back to where we belonged.
11:35A prince and his beta.
11:36Nothing more.
11:37Before all this, we had played chess and traded letters.
11:40I was smaller than the other men.
11:42The noble brads picked on me.
11:43He was the only one who ever protected me.
11:45We were young.
11:46Too close for our own good.
11:47We were the only ones who truly knew each other.
11:50But I had lived one life more than he had.
11:52I understood now.
11:53Being with him meant ten years of ice.
11:56Endless blood and tears.
11:57I had no power now.
11:59All I could do was stay far away from him.
12:01If the chance ever came.
12:02And my blade was sharp enough, I would kill him.
12:05But that afternoon, a clerk from the steward's office came to me.
12:09My appointment to Ashenmere was still missing one final formality.
12:12The heir's seal.
12:14Without his highness's heir's seal, the office cannot release the final transfer papers.
12:18I ran into an obstacle.
12:20But then I got lucky.
12:21Ashford Hall was throwing a feast to celebrate Lord Ashford's achievements in the PAC Council.
12:25I got the wax sealed invite in my past life too.
12:27Back then I was waiting to marry Cassian.
12:29Rumors about me were everywhere.
12:31At the time I had not wanted to go out and face any of it.
12:33But this time, my eyes lit up.
12:35If Ashford was hosting a feast, Cassian would be there.
12:39At the feast, I saw Allara.
12:42She sat beside Cassian.
12:44She already had that graceful, untouchable posture of the future Luna.
12:49I sat across from them, just watching them cozy up.
12:52It was like a glimpse of a past life.
12:55The Alpha King and his precious Luna, madly in love.
12:59Halfway through the feast, I lifted my glass and walked toward them.
13:03Your Highness.
13:04Cassian kept his eyes on the stage.
13:06He ignored me.
13:08Your Highness.
13:09He glanced sideways.
13:10He finally turned his head.
13:12What is it?
13:13I laid out my request.
13:14This is a feast for my fiancé's father.
13:17I don't want to deal with this now.
13:19Catch me another day.
13:19I took a breath and was about to press the matter.
13:22Suddenly, a mind-controlled, poisoned rogue lunged from the shadows and instinctively reached for me.
13:29I saw his move and dodged away at once.
13:31I shoved Alara beside him, but I wasn't fast enough.
13:34I collapsed on the floor.
13:36He let out a cold laugh.
13:38Loyal to a fault.
13:39You'd rather get hurt yourself to save my future Luna.
13:44That's a baiter's duty.
13:46I thought he was losing his mind.
13:48In front of the whole court, he ignored his future Luna, trying to save me instead.
13:54If word reached the pack council, what would the elders think of him?
13:59Hunt the assassin down.
14:00A second later, Cassian barked orders to hunt the assassin down.
14:04Then, he unclipped his heir's seal from his belt.
14:07He handed it to a nearby guard.
14:09Go to the healer's wing.
14:10Bring every royal healer here.
14:12No.
14:13Cassian looked down at me and said coldly,
14:15You're bleeding out, and you're still playing tough?
14:18Or do you want me to do it myself?
14:21The healers couldn't come.
14:23It was night time.
14:24If they treated the wound, my female body would be exposed.
14:28The moonstone pendant could only fool the eye.
14:31If someone touched my skin, the illusion would crack.
14:35And Cassian definitely could not touch me either.
14:38My finger pointed at Kale.
14:39He stood nearby with panic all over his face.
14:42Kale knows battlefield first aid.
14:44Let him do it.
14:45Cassian's face dartened.
14:47After a long silence, he sneered.
14:49Guess I'm just in the way.
14:51I was taken to a guest room in Asheville Hall.
14:53Kale carried me through the door.
14:55I only had the strength for one sentence.
14:58Don't let anyone else in except you.
15:00When I woke up, hours had passed.
15:02The Alpha King had summoned Cassian.
15:04He was already gone.
15:06Kale sat at the table, sipping tea.
15:08He heard me move and slowly spoke.
15:11So, are you a man or a woman?
15:13I was born under the moon curse.
15:15Male by day, female by night.
15:18My wolf is chained.
15:18Only a mate's mark can break it.
15:21You're not gonna tell my brother?
15:23I always knew something didn't add up.
15:25Now it does.
15:27Tell him, and the Luna's crown will be yours.
15:30Not in this life.
15:31In my last life, I had already tasted the price of that choice.
15:36Hadn't I?
15:37Kale fell silent for a moment.
15:39Oh, right.
15:40Allura came by earlier.
15:41He tossed a jar of healing salve to me.
15:44She told me to give this to you.
15:47I had never expected this.
15:48I fought her my whole past life.
15:51Now, I had saved her life.
15:54Sleepiness washed over me.
15:55I fell back asleep.
15:57Later that night, my father sent a carriage for me.
16:00The carriage rolled over the cobblestone streets.
16:03The carriage rolled over the cobblestone streets.
16:06I pulled back the curtain.
16:08Coachman had been knocked unconscious.
16:12I stepped out of the carriage.
16:14Cassian stood not far away.
16:16His voice was low.
16:18Saren, didn't you say you needed my hair's seal?
16:21I nodded quickly.
16:23Taking that hit was worth it.
16:24He had come to bring it up himself.
16:27Leave by the end of the month.
16:29What?
16:31He had come just to kick me out early?
16:34He stayed silent for a moment.
16:36Gave me a slight sideways glance.
16:37Saren, I'll arrange a marriage alliance for you.
16:40The mating ceremony is on the 17th.
16:42Once it's done, you take her and leave.
16:45Get far away from Silverhead.
16:47I was already injured.
16:48Hearing that nearly made me pass out on the spot.
16:51Do I have to?
16:52He nodded and said calmly.
16:54Yes, you have to.
16:56Why?
16:57He didn't answer.
16:58I watched him in silence.
17:00After a long time, he stepped closer.
17:02He walked right up to me.
17:04He didn't stop.
17:05I stumbled back two steps.
17:06Before my waist nearly hit the carriage wall, he slid his hand behind me to cushion the impact.
17:13He didn't pull his hand away.
17:14He leaned in close to my ear.
17:17I caught his scent.
17:19Cedar, storms, and campfire smoke.
17:22It was so strong.
17:24It felt like an invasion.
17:26He lowered his voice.
17:28You're too smart, Saren.
17:30You figured it out a long time ago, didn't you?
17:33My wolf won't let me touch Alara.
17:35It never has.
17:36It only wants you.
17:38How absurd.
17:39The alpha heir.
17:40In love with a man who can't even give him pups.
17:43I stopped breathing.
17:45He actually said it.
17:46Today, I chose you over her.
17:49Tomorrow, I'd do it again.
17:51Every time.
17:53The night wind howled.
17:55His words struck like thunder.
17:57My heart pounded wildly.
17:59In my last life, he fell for Alara barely six months after marking me.
18:04He clearly didn't love me that much.
18:06So why now?
18:07Why was he saying this?
18:09Thought I was a man?
18:10At last, he said.
18:12So yes, you have to marry.
18:15He needed me to have a wife.
18:17That way, he could kill his own hope.
18:23Cassian moved fast.
18:24He picked a bride for me in record time.
18:28Her family, looks, and bloodline.
18:31Every one of them was top tier.
18:34Kale tracked me down.
18:35He flashed a wicked smirk.
18:38So what's the plan?
18:39Bait each other's hair and pretend nothing's weird?
18:41I rolled my eyes.
18:43If you won't help, at least don't mock me.
18:45He raised a brow.
18:46Hypothetically, if someone who wasn't your faded nightmare happened to fall for you,
18:51would that count?
18:52Asking for a friend?
18:53I grabbed an ink will off the desk, smashing it at his feet.
18:57Shut up.
18:58But it triggered a memory.
18:59In my past life, after I became Luna, I had seen Kyle once.
19:03He told me he was going to work at the Northwand Frontier.
19:07Not long after that, I heard news of his death.
19:11Are you planning to join the army at the Northford Frontier?
19:13You need to think that through.
19:15Absolutely not.
19:16I'm not setting foot in that frozen hell over my dead body.
19:18Well, in my last life, you did go.
19:21And you really did die.
19:22But he was driving me insane.
19:24Sticking to me like glue lately.
19:27Maybe I should beg my father too.
19:29Get me a post in Ashen Mall.
19:31If I go there, we can keep being brothers.
19:33If he didn't know my secret, I swear I would have cut him off forever.
19:36But soon enough, an idea came to me.
19:39I had kale spread word outside.
19:41I suffered from mate-bond rejection syndrome.
19:43A super rare condition that meant I could never form a bond with anyone.
19:48The rumor blew up for two days.
19:50That omega bride got scared.
19:52I might cling to her.
19:53Before long, she locked down another marriage to escape me.
20:00Kale and I were both pleased.
20:02He said he wanted to buy me a drink.
20:05I could hold my liquor.
20:06I considered him a friend.
20:08So I said yes.
20:11Halfway through the night, he threw his arm around my shoulder.
20:15Just like always.
20:16His lips brushed dangerously close to my face.
20:21Saren, I really do want to go to Ashen.
20:24Through the alcohol haze, I saw who it was.
20:28Cassian.
20:28His face dark.
20:30He seized kale by the throat and slammed him to the floor.
20:34I froze in shock.
20:35I could not say a word.
20:37Cassian kicked the table.
20:39Glasses shattered.
20:40He glared at me coldly.
20:42I hand you a perfect marriage, and you throw it away.
20:45Just to fool around with him.
20:48I did everything for you.
20:50And this is what I get?
20:51He scooped me off my feet.
20:53When he threw me into his carriage, I realized he had cleared out the whole tavern.
21:00Kale stormed out after us.
21:02What the hell is this, Cassian?
21:04Since when is having a drink with Saran a crime?
21:07Cassian scoffed.
21:09His eyes flashed, almost shifting.
21:12Get the hell out.
21:13Kale didn't flinch.
21:16His eyes flashed, too.
21:18In the next second, Cassian shifted first.
21:21From the shell of his human body, a black giant wolf tore its way free.
21:25Fur the color of a starless knight.
21:26Eyes molten gold with rage.
21:28His body far larger than any ordinary alphas.
21:30Kale shifted right after him.
21:32His wolf didn't back down.
21:33Cold, silver-gray fur.
21:35Leaner.
21:35Faster.
21:36Like a drawn blade.
21:37The two wolves crashed into each other in front of the tavern.
21:40Cassian snapped his jaws at Kale's throat.
21:42Kale dodged.
21:43His fangs ripped into Cassian's shoulder.
21:46Blood splattered the cobstone.
21:47Their roars were forced every wolf within a mile to stumble back on instinct.
21:52I ran between them and shouted for them to stop.
21:56Afraid they might hurt me, they shifted back to human after a tense standoff.
22:00I looked at Kale.
22:03Kale, Cassian and I need to talk.
22:05We'll drink tomorrow.
22:06Kale grabbed my hand.
22:07He stared right into my eyes.
22:09I don't say things I don't mean.
22:10If you need me, I'm here.
22:12I'll prove it.
22:13Cassian lost his mind again.
22:15I quickly agreed with Kale, then pulled Cassial into the carriage.
22:18Go!
22:18I ordered the coachman to whip the horses.
22:20The carriage instantly rolled away.
22:22Did you misunderstand something?
22:25Cassian's face twisted.
22:26I know exactly how he looks at you.
22:28That's not how a man looks at another man.
22:30The alpha heir of the pack.
22:32In this moment, all his royal grace was gone.
22:35Replaced by pure paranoia, his eyes kept flashing between human and wolf.
22:40I opened my mouth.
22:43No sound came out.
22:45He leaned back against the carriage wall, rubbing his brow.
22:48After a long while, he finally spoke with exhaustion.
22:52What am I supposed to do with you?
22:54I stared at him.
22:56Marielara.
22:57She's good.
22:59You'll learn to love her.
23:00Cassian didn't look at me.
23:02He looked out the window.
23:04His voice choked.
23:05I won't.
23:10Cassian saw me back to Blackthorn Manor.
23:13Marriage is a big deal.
23:14It's not a game.
23:16I'll scrub those rumors clean.
23:18I'll find you another bride.
23:20Can't I decide this for myself?
23:22He looked at me calmly.
23:23Saren Blackthorn, don't forget.
23:26You picked my Luna for me.
23:27So I'm picking your wife.
23:29I could feel it.
23:30He was hanging on by his thread.
23:32After that day, Kale locked himself away.
23:34But I knew the truth.
23:36He was badly hurt.
23:37Afterward, he and Cassian fought again.
23:39Wolf against wolf, they tore into each other with murder intent.
23:42Nobody knew why.
23:43The pack just assumed the brothers were fighting over the throne.
23:46I didn't visit either of them.
23:47Not until the end of the month.
23:49The blood hunt.
23:50I saw Kale again.
23:52He arched a brow at me.
23:54Heartless.
23:55Truly heartless.
23:56You haven't spared me a single glance.
23:59I had nothing to say.
24:00Once inside the hunting grounds, my mind was elsewhere.
24:03I shot a few rabbits and a deer.
24:05I packed up my bow, ready to leave early.
24:08But I forgot something.
24:09I had no sense of direction.
24:11In the past, I always just followed Cassian.
24:13So the more I walked, the farther in I went.
24:15By the time I realized it, a feral blocked my path.
24:20Huge.
24:21Red-eyed.
24:22And mindless.
24:24In both my last life and this one, I had never faced anything like it.
24:28I drew the silver dagger at my waist.
24:30Cassius gave it to me for protection.
24:32I slashed once.
24:34The blade cut the feral's front leg.
24:36But it wasn't a kill shot.
24:38It roared and lunged again.
24:40I thought I was dead.
24:42But someone rushed in front of me.
24:44He took the hit.
24:45He was thrown to the ground.
24:47Coughing up blood.
24:48He shot me one look.
24:51Then pushed himself back up and charged in again.
24:54A second later, he shifted.
24:56A giant black wolf erupted.
24:57He tackled the feral in mid-air.
24:59His fangs ripped its throat out.
25:01I watched him tear the feral to pieces.
25:03Cassian Valamont, who had always been controlled, cold, and perfect, had never looked so broken,
25:08yet so savage.
25:12Cassian blacked out.
25:13His wounds were still bleeding.
25:15He shifted back to human.
25:16Covered in blood.
25:17His clothes shredded from the shift.
25:19I patched him up the best I could.
25:21I stared at his face.
25:22It suddenly hit me.
25:23This was the man who wiped out my entire bloodline in my past life.
25:27He had treated me zorgly too.
25:29Since I woke up in this life, I forced myself to forget.
25:32If I couldn't get revenge, I had to let it go.
25:34But now he lay there before me, almost fragile.
25:37My hand moved on its own.
25:39I pulled the silver dagger at my waist.
25:42Cassian gave it to me, himself.
25:44Told me to use it for protection.
25:46But now, I was going to use it to kill him.
25:49Everything from my last life flashed before my eyes.
25:52I saw my son and daughter.
25:54They were born into pack politics and died in the end.
25:58When he issued the pack disovelation order, I ran to him crying.
26:01I told him I regretted everything.
26:04I wanted nothing.
26:05Only that he spare my family.
26:07No.
26:07The day I died was my pup's death anniversary.
26:09I went to find him.
26:11His guards locked me out.
26:12I saw him walking side by side with Alara in the royal gardens.
26:15My beautiful Luna.
26:16He picked a winter rose for her.
26:18Called her beautiful Luna.
26:19I finally lost my mind and cursed Cassiel out in front of everyone.
26:23And then Cassian said to me,
26:25If I could live this again, I'd rather never have known what you are.
26:29Something hollowed out inside me.
26:31Life had no meaning anymore.
26:33That night, I tried to force my chained wolf awake.
26:39It was a forbidden rate, backfiring from within, tearing my body apart.
26:45I died.
26:48I snapped back to the present.
26:51Looking at the man before me, pure hatred boiled in my chest.
26:55It swallowed me whole.
26:56I raised my hand to drive the silver blade toward his chest.
27:01Before it could sink in, a hand caught my wrist.
27:05Cassian was awake.
27:06His eyes were open now, calm as he looked at me.
27:09Saren, what do you think you're doing?
27:14Answer me.
27:15I wanted to kill him, but was caught in the act.
27:17Murdering the alpha hare.
27:19Ten lives wouldn't be enough to pay for that.
27:21I bit my lip.
27:23I just wanted to see if your wounds were getting better.
27:26It was a terrible lie.
27:27I dropped the silver blade, but he bought it.
27:29He let out a breath.
27:30My life is yours then.
27:32He closed his eyes.
27:33I didn't dare try again.
27:34I had been too reckless before.
27:36Only we remained.
27:36His death here, no matter how it happened, would be laid on me.
27:39Too heavy to carry, I could only wait.
27:41Not long after, the royal guard tracked us down.
27:44I followed them back to the heir's tower.
27:47Cassian was badly hurt.
27:49The alpha king and luna queen were frantic.
27:52Alara came too.
27:53I couldn't shake the feeling.
27:55She kept glancing at me in secret.
27:57The luna queen wiped her tears and said to me,
28:01Cassian values you most.
28:02Stay here and watch over him.
28:04I quickly agreed.
28:06Guilt swallowed me.
28:08I didn't leave his bedside all day.
28:11I meant to keep watch, but sleep crept up and took me.
28:15In that hazy half-sleep, I felt someone lift me onto the bed.
28:19Someone parted my lips.
28:21A soft bite.
28:25I woke up.
28:27Cassian sat nearby, reading a stack of papers.
28:30He wore only a loose shirt, the collar open wide,
28:34his whole posture lazy and careless.
28:37He didn't look like a man who almost died yesterday.
28:40All at once, I remembered.
28:41Right after our mating night in my past life.
28:44He wouldn't wake me.
28:45He sat just like this, reading beside me and waiting.
28:48He saw that I was awake.
28:49Hungry?
28:50I was about to shake my head.
28:51My stomach growled first.
28:53Cassian smiled.
28:54He had the maid bring in a bowl of venison broth.
28:56One bite in, I knew.
28:59Cassian made this himself.
29:00Too much salt.
29:01The meat was tough as leather.
29:03The same taste as the first meal he cooked for me after we mated.
29:07I stopped eating.
29:08Pushed the bowl aside.
29:09I'm leaving.
29:11Disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he still nodded.
29:14I turned for the door.
29:15He suddenly called my name.
29:17Ren.
29:18I looked back.
29:19He stared at me.
29:20Confusion twisted his face.
29:22I was hurt this badly.
29:24You've been awake this whole time and you haven't asked how I am feeling.
29:27And in the woods, you hate me.
29:29He sounded sure of it.
29:31It was the first time I'd ever seen that look on him.
29:33The alpha aura.
29:35The prince's mask.
29:36All gone.
29:37He just looked lost and broken.
29:40Why?
29:41I've never done anything to hurt you.
29:43Not once.
29:44Not in this life.
29:45A dell'ache struck me under my ribs.
29:47Yeah.
29:48I always wanted to ask the past life Cassian the same thing.
29:51Cassian in front of me loved me so much.
29:53Even believing I was a man, he had saved me over and over again.
29:56So how did the old Cassian throw me away so easily?
29:59In the end, neither of us had the answer.
30:01You're overthinking it.
30:06Soon, the date was set for Cassian and Alara's mating ceremony.
30:09First day of next month.
30:10Ivy and white roses crawled up the castle walls.
30:13The air was heavy with sweet floral scents.
30:15It was the best time of the year.
30:16Naturally, Cassian paid no mind to my marriage alliance.
30:20To avoid more trouble, I locked myself in Blackthorn Manor.
30:23But Kale came to see me.
30:24He said his birthday was coming.
30:25He asked if I could grant him one wish.
30:27Cassian tore him up over me, and he spent three weeks in bed.
30:30I felt a little guilty.
30:31What do you want?
30:32Just a heads up, I don't have much money.
30:34Relax, I don't want your money.
30:36Just one day.
30:36That's all I'm asking.
30:37As luck would have it, his birthday fell on the eve of Cassian's mating ceremony.
30:44Cassian gets married.
30:45Then I ship off to Ashenmore.
30:47Everyone would get what they wanted.
30:49That night, I stepped out as we had agreed.
30:51But Kale didn't show.
30:53Alara did.
30:54She looked at me as if she burned all her bridges to stand here.
30:57If I could find a way out of this, would you take me with you?
31:00I stared at her.
31:01Why?
31:02Cassian doesn't want me.
31:03His heart belongs to someone else.
31:05And mine belongs to...
31:07Did you forget?
31:07You saved me twice.
31:09My mind went blank.
31:10The masked girl I saved from the rogues at the festival.
31:12It was Alara.
31:13I was completely flattered.
31:14The person she liked.
31:15Could it really be me?
31:16What a mess.
31:17A total mess.
31:18In this second life...
31:19Cassian will love you later.
31:20You two are a perfect match.
31:22Trust me.
31:23Are you really going to reject me?
31:25She bit her lip.
31:26I nodded.
31:27She pressed her lips together and studied me.
31:29Then gave a relieved smile.
31:31Are you scared I'll care about that mate bond rejection rumor?
31:34Don't worry.
31:34I don't care about that.
31:35If I marry you, we'll figure it out.
31:37In my past life, Alara was the poster child for royal perfection.
31:40I never knew she had this wild, reckless side when she was young.
31:43It's not about that.
31:44Being Luna is your best move.
31:46Trust me.
31:47Your mate will love you.
31:49Alara left.
31:50I finally let out a breath.
31:52Then a voice cut through the dark.
31:54Bad timing, I see.
31:58Yeah.
31:59Bad timing.
32:00You two should be preparing for your mating ceremony.
32:02So what are you both doing here?
32:05Cassian walked toward me.
32:06His black eyes unreadable.
32:08I just realized something.
32:10What?
32:11He gave a slow smile.
32:12His eyes were screaming with Bokduck insanity.
32:15Kale, a waste of Valamont blood gets to sling an arm around you and look at you like that.
32:19Alara, born to the most powerful Nabal house, was trained from childhood to be flawless.
32:23She will be the future Luna, and she asks you to run away with her.
32:26I spoke before thinking.
32:28Don't get the wrong idea about Alara.
32:29She didn't mean it that way.
32:30I don't care about her.
32:32They can have you.
32:34Why can't I?
32:35His words hung in the air.
32:37A bad feeling slammed into me.
32:40But my vision went black.
32:42His raw alpha aura crushed me like a tidal wave.
32:45My legs gave out.
32:47I collapsed into his arms.
32:49He locked me up in the air's tower.
32:52The next day, Cassian and Alara held their mating ceremony.
32:56I sat in my room, listening to the bells and horns outside.
33:02I really should have killed Cassian that day.
33:04That night, after the ceremony, Cassian walked in.
33:07He wore his black and silver ceremonial mating robes, the Valamont crust on his chest.
33:12Cold, chiseled, impossibly perfect.
33:15I remembered it clearly.
33:16In my last life, he had worn the same thing.
33:19He stared down at me.
33:21Take it off.
33:27No.
33:29Then I'll do it myself.
33:31I backed up fast.
33:33I don't feel that way about you.
33:34You know we could never work.
33:36Cassian, don't throw your whole future away from me.
33:39So what?
33:40He didn't care.
33:41He leaned in, reached for my shirt without hesitation.
33:43Alpha strength was not something I could resist.
33:47Cassian!
33:47I swung my hand.
33:49Slapped him hard across the face.
33:51Hmm.
33:52He was not angry in the least.
33:53But in the next second, his fingertips touched something.
33:56His hand froze midair.
33:57He stared at me blankly.
33:59He had touched my chest.
34:00The moonstone pendant flickered.
34:02His touch shattered the illusion.
34:04The moonlight was too bright tonight.
34:06It poured through the window.
34:07Lit up the shock on his face.
34:08It took him a long time to process it.
34:10Then, he laughed.
34:11A deep, breathless laugh.
34:13The laughter faded.
34:14His eyes turned red.
34:15His wolf howled from deep inside him.
34:17No anger.
34:17No pain.
34:18Desperate relief.
34:19Like finding water in a desert.
34:21You're a woman.
34:22My lips trembled as I pulled my shirt together over my chest.
34:25In my last life, when I had confessed my female body to Cassian, he was happy.
34:28But the Cassian in this life, he was happier than he had ever been before.
34:32He paced the room over and over.
34:33Ran his hands through his hair.
34:35He didn't know what to do with himself.
34:36Finally, he stopped in front of me.
34:38I'm going to marry you.
34:38I'm going to my father right now.
34:40Cassian!
34:41You already have a Luna.
34:43Cassian froze.
34:44I can still break the bond.
34:45I never marked Alara.
34:47The mating bond isn't active.
34:49I had already guessed as much.
34:51He never marked her.
34:53But breaking the ceremony could never be that simple.
34:55It involved the pack council, the dignity of House Ashvid, and the political balance of the entire pack.
35:00If it were easy, then in my last life, he would have kicked me out of Luna's tower long ago.
35:04You know it's impossible.
35:06Cassian fell silent for a long time.
35:07I'll find a way.
35:08He glared at me.
35:09His voice shook with fury.
35:11Why didn't you tell me?
35:13Even last night, I could have stopped this.
35:15But you just watched me.
35:17Watched me struggle and break.
35:19Over and over again.
35:20You're cruel.
35:22You know that?
35:23I spoke.
35:24You've already given up too much for me.
35:27Let me go.
35:29Then who do you want?
35:31Kale?
35:31I took a deep breath.
35:34Looked up at him.
35:37Cassian.
35:39Haven't you always wanted to know why I hate you?
35:42I lived a life before this one, Cassian.
35:45And in that life, you destroyed me.
35:48That's not possible.
35:50You ordered the slaughter of my bloodline.
35:53My son and daughter died in pack politics.
35:56I would never do that to you.
35:58I wasn't even 27 when I died.
35:59By then, you had already fallen for someone else.
36:02You walked with her in the gardens.
36:04You picked a winter rose for her and called her beautiful Luna.
36:07Cassian froze.
36:08He didn't say a word for a long time.
36:10He looked at me.
36:11His eyes unreadable.
36:13I've seen that in my dreams.
36:14I looked up.
36:15He gave a broken smile.
36:16Since the hunt, I've seen it in dreams on full moon nights.
36:19A woman's blurry face.
36:21I couldn't see it clearly.
36:22I always thought it was you.
36:24I didn't know it actually happened.
36:26Blood Echoes.
36:28The Royal Valamont bloodline could sense fragments of their destiny.
36:33I lost my voice.
36:35I could only be grateful he had not recovered those memories in full.
36:38After a very, very long time, he finally spoke.
36:42Go.
36:44Don't come back.
36:45Don't ever come back.
36:49Shortly after, I said goodbye to my parents.
36:52I left Silvercrost.
36:53On the road, I heard travelers talk about the Alpha Hare and his Luna.
36:58Said they were a perfect match.
36:59A golden couple.
37:01Or so everyone believed.
37:02I had been a Luna too.
37:04But in my past life, they tore me to shreds.
37:07The pack council spat on me.
37:09The Alpha King and Luna Queen despised me.
37:12The commoners called me the cursed She-Wolf who bewitched the Alpha Heir to abandon his throne.
37:17Not to mention this body of mine that could never shift.
37:19Not long after I arrived in Ashenmore, Kals followed me there.
37:23You left in such a rush.
37:24Didn't even say goodbye.
37:25I came looking for you that day and couldn't find you anywhere.
37:28I was losing my mind, you know that?
37:31I'm standing right here, aren't I?
37:33You impossible creature.
37:34In my second year in Ashenmore, a silver vein plague broke out in the city.
37:39It chewed through a wolf's essence.
37:41Killed your shifting.
37:43Drained your life.
37:44My wolf was already chained.
37:47The plague nearly took me out completely.
37:49Kale stayed by my side day and night, never once closing his eyes.
37:53One night, the fever spiked.
37:55A cold hand brushed my forehead.
37:57The scent on that hand.
37:58Cedar.
37:58Storms.
37:59Campfire smoke.
38:00At dawn, I heard the news.
38:01Cassian was here.
38:02He brought the royal cure and stayed for two weeks.
38:05The day he left, I went to see him off.
38:07I poured him a cup of wine.
38:09His hand hung in the air.
38:10Finally, he took it and drank.
38:12I drank too much.
38:13Passing out on the table.
38:15Just before I faded out, I felt his lips press gently against mine.
38:19Take care of yourself.
38:20Next spring, Cassian took a fatal hit in a rebel uprising.
38:24He died.
38:26Allura remarried.
38:27Miles away in Ashenmore, I finally let myself cry.
38:32Touching my lips, I could still feel the ghost of his kiss.
38:35Soon after, I moved my parents down to Ashenmore.
38:39Kale never marked anyone.
38:41I patrolled my borders.
38:43He watched my back.
38:45I signed paperwork.
38:47He read books beside me.
38:50At 32, I made the first move.
38:53I kissed him.
38:55His eyes lit up.
38:56A quiet, deep joy.
38:58Of a love that had waited and was finally met.
39:01He kissed me back for a long time.
39:04We had our mating ceremony.
39:05When he marked me, it was different from Cassian.
39:08The moment his fangs sank in, I felt invisible chains all over my body shattering.
39:12The moon curse broke completely.
39:13My wolf tore out of the deep binding.
39:15Silver white fur, fast as lightning.
39:18It was my first shift in two lifetimes.
39:20Tears streamed down my face.
39:22Kale, the man who died alone in my past life.
39:25He was my fated mate too.
39:27Did the curse demand marks from both mates to finally break?
39:31Their love gave me my body back.
39:34And for the first time, I was whole.
39:37That same year, I met Alara again.
39:40Hello again, Luna.
39:41How do you know?
39:42I only remembered in the second year after he died.
39:44But I never expected to fall for you in this lifetime.
39:46He was never happy after he came back.
39:48Not long after, he died in misery.
39:51She kept talking.
39:52Actually, after you died in the last life, Cassian arranged everything and then he died
39:55of a broken heart too.
39:56I froze.
39:57How could that be?
39:59Saren, do you know why I never had pups?
40:01He simply never touched me.
40:02Do you know how many blades he caught for you in those ten years?
40:06He stopped loving you because it was the only way to keep you alive.
40:09And me?
40:10I was just the decoy.
40:11But my pups?
40:12They didn't die in political and fighting.
40:14Cassian hid them away.
40:15They watched you from the shadows.
40:17Kept asking when they could come home to mom.
40:18Her words were a sledgehammer, smashing every truth I thought I knew.
40:22Your people weren't exiled either.
40:24She smiled.
40:25He smuggled them all to safety.
40:27The truth is, if you had held on a little longer in that life, he would have finished
40:31off every enemy threatening him.
40:34But back then, no one had told me any of this.
40:37Still in this life, his side really had been dangerous.
40:39I knew of several assassination attempts all on me.
40:41A dull, heavy pain crushed my chest.
40:43I thought it over in silence.
40:45When Cassian died in this life, he had not yet reached 19.
40:48I was 32 now.
40:49Everything.
40:49Everything was over.
40:50Thanks for telling me.
40:51But for me, it doesn't change anything.
40:53Not anymore.
40:54Kale was waiting for me nearby.
40:55Allara saw him.
40:57Something clicked in her head.
40:59She chuckled.
41:00In our past life, the first year Cassian pushed you away, Kale fought him.
41:04I had never seen either of them that mad.
41:06They nearly killed each other.
41:08Once Kale healed, he shipped out to the Northfield frontier.
41:11He said he'd fight Cassian again when he got back.
41:14And then, I knew.
41:16Kale never came back from the Northfield frontier.
41:19Kale never came back.
41:19What about that?
41:20Does that change anything?
41:22Bells rang in the distance.
41:24The sunset painted the harbor lake in amber and rust.
41:30It was beautiful and it was over.
41:34Yes.
