00:02in my last life everyone in the northern werewolf kingdom said i was a white wolf blessed by the
00:06moon goddess the rumor said i had been born with a screscent mark on my forehead and that whoever
00:11took me as his may would become the next alpha king of the north so the moment i came of
00:15age
00:16the luna queen arranged for me to be mated to her son kale the old alpha king had only two
00:22sons
00:23and both were sickly because of that he had never named an heir yet less than six months after kale
00:28and i signed our mate contract his weakened wolf spirit made a miraculous recovery the old alpha
00:34king was overjoyed he named kale his heir and announced that i would become luna queen once
00:38kale took the throne but after kale became alpha king the vampires launched a brutal attack and he
00:46did not hesitate he had me dragged onto the full moon altar elena aren't you the white wolf blessed
00:52by the moon goddess selelsta was taken by the vampires then use your blood to bring her back to
00:57me a silver blade sliced open my wrists the kingdom's battle flag was soaked red with my blood
01:05the guards held my shoulders down but my eyes stayed fixed on kale
01:12if there is another life i will never save you again
01:17when i opened my eyes again i was back on the day of my full moon coming of age ceremony
01:22my full moon ceremony was held before the oldest moon temple in the royal kingdom
01:25i knelt at the center of the altar the crescent on my forehead glowing faintly white in the firelight
01:31around me stood the elders of the northern kingdom the alphas of every major pack and their heirs
01:37the way they looked at me made my skin crawl
01:40like i was not a girl like i was a precious offering about to be handed to the royal family
01:44the luna queen sat high above us her eyes settled on my forehead and the satisfaction in them was
01:52almost impossible to hide elena you are exactly as the rumors say this crescent mark was left by
01:58the moon goddess herself you are destined to bring the northern kingdom its next alpha king in my last
02:04life after saying those words she had announced in front of everyone that i would become kale's mate
02:11she had not allowed me to refuse
02:15this time before anyone could react i raised my hand and wiped hard across my forehead
02:22the white crescent recital smeared beneath my fingers blurring down my brow into a pale broken stain
02:27a ripple of shocked gasps went through the crowd
02:30the luna queen's smile frozen
02:33your majesty the rumor is wrong this is not a birthmark from the moon goddess it is a ceremonial
02:38marking painted by the eastern pack during our coming of age rids i am a white wolf but i cannot
02:43decide who becomes the next alpha king the square went so quiet that only the torches crackled
02:48the luna queen's face cooled inch by inch the old alpha king of the north was aging and he still
02:55had
02:55not chosen his heir kal the son of the current luna queen had status and favor but he had been
03:01weak
03:01since childhood his wolf form was unstable and his body often failed him lucian the son of the late
03:07first luna queen had a stronger claim by blood but after his mother's death and an old injury from his
03:12youth he had been pushed to the edge of the royal court that was why the luna queen needed me
03:18she needed
03:18a white wolf chosen by the moon goddess to give kal legitimacy and now in front of everyone i had
03:25wiped
03:25away the one thing she wanted most before the luna queen could speak hurried footsteps came from
03:32outside the temple kale strode in he wore black royal formalitaire his face still carried that sickly
03:37plasish but his eyes were as proud as they had been in my last life mother i will not take
03:42elena as my
03:42mate the only woman i love is celeste she is the only luna i will ever accept for a moment
03:47he almost
03:48looked like he remembered our last life too the luna queen's face darkened after being contradicted in
03:53public by her own son kale turned to me as if certain i would be hurt humiliated desperate
03:58enough to defend him and save face for his mother good kale does not want me i do not want
04:05him either
04:06kale froze it was as if it had never occurred to him that i would reject him in front of
04:13the entire
04:13kingdom elena you had better know what you're saying of course i knew i knew how in my last life
04:22he had
04:22let me nurse him back to health with my own hands i knew how he had used my blood to
04:27save celeste
04:27and i knew that from this day forward i would never walk that same road again
04:34isn't this exactly what you wanted your highness
04:42the ceremony was forced to an early end the luna queen did not explode in public she only ordered the
04:48servants to take me to a side hall to rest i had just stepped out of the moon temple when
04:52a suppressed
04:53cough came from behind me kale braced one hand against a stone pillar blood glimmered between his
04:58fingers by instinct he reached towards me medicine in my last life whenever he coughed blood i would
05:06immediately hand him the herbal tinctures prepared by the eastern pack fur needles moon vrine and a
05:13carefully processed trace of moon flower they eased his chest pain and stabilized the wolf inside him
05:19when it threatened to lose control
05:24i spent hours preparing those remedies every single day later celeste only had to tear up in front of him
05:31and he poured every bottle i had made into the fire
05:37they're just herbs if she doesn't like them burn them
05:46in this life he actually asked me for that medicine
05:51had he been reborn too
05:56kale you should go to celeste now stop acting like i'm supposed to save you every time you reach for
06:00me
06:03are you jealous no you don't deserve it then i turned walked away behind me
06:11kale's coughing grew worse
06:17elena are we returning to the eastern pack now i looked up at the towering stone walls of the palace
06:23in my last life i had walked through those gates into kale's palace and never truly gone home again
06:28in this life of course i would return to the eastern pack just not yet but my carriage had
06:33barely reached the palace gates when several young males blocked the road the one in front was ron
06:37celeste's brother and heir to the western pack he smiled casually leaning against my car spinning a
06:43silver-edged dacker between his fingers
06:49you're the she-wolf everyone says can put a man on the throne too bad the crescent was fake
06:57move ron reached in and grabbed my wrist instead he leaned closer on purpose trying to rub his scent
07:04onto my skin
07:06to werewolves that was an insult a filthy one no moon goddess mark and you still think you're too
07:13good for us if you can't be kale's luna come back to the west with me
07:19i don't mind taking a she-wolf the royal family threw away
07:28you hit me touch me again and i'll bite your hand off just then saletta rushed out from beside the
07:34palace gates she threw herself to ron's side elena how could you hit my brother i only wanted to greet
07:40you are you still blaming me is it because kale loves me and not you sure enough kale arrived moments
07:46later he saw celeste's tears he saw the mark on ron's face then his gaze cut straight to me elena
07:52i warned you not to bully celeste if your eyes can only see her crying you might as well gal
07:56them off
07:57celeste clutched his sleeve and sobbed harder
08:02kale forget it if not for me maybe the queen would have given the two of you a mate contract
08:09today
08:09kale pulled her protectively behind him
08:13apologize to celeste
08:17i stood where i was and did not move
08:20i did nothing wrong kale lifted his hand and signaled ron
08:25then let everyone see how little discipline this she-wolf from the east has
08:29make her kneel and apologize
08:32excitement flashed in ron's eyes he moved towards me at once grabbing my cloak trying to force me to lower
08:37my
08:37head and bare my throat in front of everyone for a werewolf bearing the throat was surrender for a pack
08:42air it was the deepest humiliation i clenched the edge of my cloak so hard my nails nearly pierced my
08:47palm just as i was about to shift and fight back a cool voice came from inside the palace gate
08:52at the
08:52gates of the royal palace who gave you the nerve to force the air of the eastern pack to bear
08:56her throat
08:57everyone turned at once lucian stood in the shadow of the palace gate he wore a dark coat his face
09:02was even
09:02paler than karl's but his back was straight he rarely appeared at court banquets and many had almost
09:07forgotten that he was the son of the late first luna queen ron's face changed he released me
09:11immediately lucian walked to my side and draped his cloak over my shoulders he did not look at kale
09:16he looked only at ron air of the western pack carrying silver to threaten one of your own kind
09:20i will take this matter to the elders council lucian this is my business only then did lucian look at
09:26him
09:29she is not your luna those words struck exactly where kale least wanted to be touched i tightened
09:35my grip on lucian's cloak and truly looked at him for the first time in my last life i had
09:39barely
09:39crossed paths with him only later did i learn that before kale took the throne lucian had opposed
09:44the luna queen's attempts to sacrifice the eastern pack's interests more than once thank you elena
09:49you should not have had to ask them for help lucian lowered his eyes to me i wasn't asking for
09:55help
09:56i was choosing an ally lucian escorted me back to the eastern pack's temporary residence in the kingdom
10:05on the way he did not ask why i had wiped away the crystal in public he did not ask
10:10why i had
10:10rejected kale your highness doesn't want to know why i came to you if this is only to make kale
10:17jealous
10:17you've chosen the wrong man lucian coughed once knuckles pressed to his lips it isn't i looked at
10:23him i want to help you become alpha king of the northern kingdom the carriage went still raised his
10:29eyes to mine and why should i believe you because you are the son of the first luna queen because
10:38you
10:38never treated the eastern pack like a stepping stone for the royal family and because i know kale is not
10:43worthy of that throne lucian was not moved by a few pretty words a man who had survived under the
10:49current luna queen's nose for so many years would never trust anyone easily you just told everyone
10:54the moon goddess prophecy is false it is false but the eastern pack is real
11:02i placed a small wooden token in front of him it was the inheritance token my father had given me
11:09lucian did not touch it at once
11:14do you know what it means to offer this to me it means i'm willing to take you as my
11:19mate and
11:20entrust the northern wolf pack to you the kingdom remembers only the crescent on my forehead
11:26it forgets that the eastern pack guards blood mist forest the most dangerous border between the werewolf
11:31kingdom and vampire territory the vampires have not set foot in the kingdom all these years not because
11:36the royal family is powerful but because the eastern pack has been standing in front of them
11:41lucian's fingers paused of course he knew unlike kale who only knew how to show off his bloodline at
11:46banquets lucian had grown up recovering from wounds earned on the border he understood better than anyone
11:51that the kingdom's peace had never come from a prophecy the luna queen wanted me mated to kale
11:55because the elders believed the prophecy but what i can give you is not a prophecy it is the support
12:00of the
12:00eastern pack it is the map of blood mist forest it is evidence of every vampire probe along the border
12:06these past years and it is me lucian looked at me for a long time
12:12what do you want i smiled faintly i don't want the title of luna queen when you become alpha king
12:20i will return to the eastern pack and inherit my father's position as alpha i want the eastern pack to
12:25hold independent military authority over the border any war involving the vampire border must go
12:29through me the kingdom will not bypass me lucian finally looked serious after a moment of silence lucian
12:35took out half of a black wolf-carved token from inside his coat this was left to me by my
12:41mother
12:41it can command half of my shadow guard i did not take it immediately you trust me i don't trust
12:48prophecies
12:49but i trust someone who dares destroy her own shortcut in public
12:53a woman like that is not here just to become someone i took the token
12:58it was cold in my palm but for the first time i felt as if fate had landed in my
13:03hand
13:08that peace did not last long that night news came from the palace the old alpha king had personally
13:15ordered the elders council to reconduct in three days and reconsider the mate arrangements for both princes
13:21the kingdom exploded with rumors some said kale had rejected me in public because of celeste some said
13:30i had turned to lucian just to take revenge on kale others said perhaps the moon goddess prophecy had not
13:36been false after all maybe the moon goddess had not chosen kale maybe she had chosen lucian
13:46when kale heard the rumors he barged into my residence that very night his face looked worse than it had
13:52during the day and his eyes were threaded with red elena what the hell are you trying to do
13:59i sat by the window it's none of your business
14:06you think hiding behind lucian means i can't touch you
14:09kale you said with your own mouth that you only love celeste then go guard her stop coming to me
14:17you were never like this before did you like who i was before kale froze no
14:24you didn't like me you were just used to me following you around like a starving dog
14:30now that i've rejected you your fragile little pride can't take it his fingers tightened in an instant
14:37so you are blaming me no i just want nothing more to do with you
14:42i signaled with a glance and the guards escorted kale out
14:47on the day the elders council reconvened to discuss the mate contracts the square outside
14:52the moon temple was packed with wolves from every pack the luna queen clearly had no intention of
14:58giving up on me she still tried to insist that my crescent mark was a blessing from the moon goddess
15:03and that i had simply been too young and confused to understand it but an elder from the eastern pack
15:08stepped forward and personally confirmed that it was indeed a ceremonial coming of age
15:12king the luna queen's face looked terrible the old alpha king sat in the main seat
15:20since the prophecy is now in doubt the royal family can no longer enforce the mating contract
15:26let elena return to the northern wolf pack with the elders but kale and celeste have loved each other
15:30for years if elena is unwilling to mate with kale the royal family cannot tear apart two lovers either
15:35it gave kale and celeste a way out at the same time they also tried to remove lucian from the
15:39succession
15:42the elders nodded in agreement lucian suddenly rose father elena is willing to become my mate
15:52the entire council erupted kyle jerked his head toward him lucian what do you mean
15:59lucian did not look at him he bowed to the old alpha king no mark no forced bond only a
16:06political mate
16:06contract witnessed by the elders council elena will support me as the heir of the eastern pack and i will
16:11protect her safety in the kingdom as a royal candidate the eastern pack agrees the luna queen's
16:16nails nearly dug into her own palm what she wanted most was for me to lend call legitimacy
16:21now that i had chosen lucian instead it was worse than if i had simply returned to the eastern pack
16:29elena you did this on purpose kale stared at me like he wanted to tear me apart yes you can
16:35choose semest i can choose lucian that seems fair celeste's tears finally fell elena why are you doing
16:42this you don't even love prince lucian you just want to hurt kale
16:49do you love kale what you love is the title of future luna queen enough celeste went pale and threw
16:55herself into kale's arms the moment he spoke he broke into another violent cough this time blood splattered
17:02directly onto his palm the luna queen panicked and ordered someone to summon the royal healers
17:07in my last life this was when i began caring for kale every day this time let's see how long
17:12you can
17:13last without me taking care of you in the end the council of elders and the old wolf king approved
17:19both
17:19marriages
17:24kale and celesta would complete their mate ceremony on the full moon night three days later lucian and i would
17:29first sign a political mate contract whether we marked each other formally would be my decision
17:37after the meeting ended lucian took me to his fortress his castle was much quieter than kyle's
17:44royal stronghold it stood near the northern forest there were not many guards but each of them carried a
17:51steady disciplined scent i placed the herbal pack i had brought from the eastern pack on the table lucian
17:57glanced at it didn't you say the crescent mark was fake the crescent was fake my skills are not i
18:06opened
18:07the herbal pack and took out a few dried strands of moon wife i grew up in the eastern pack
18:10i know which
18:11herbs stop bleeding which training methods stabilize a wolf form in which sense can cover the blood reach
18:15of vampires none of that was given to me by the moon goddess i learned it myself lucian watched me
18:20in
18:20silence i examined his old injury the border attack in his youth had nearly destroyed his right shoulder
18:24which was why he rarely shift in public can it heal it can be eased but you have to train
18:30with me it
18:31will hurt i'm not afraid of pain i looked up at him i know a man who had endured years
18:39under the
18:40current lunar queen's pressure would not be afraid of pain
18:46the one who truly feared pain was kale he had always been willing to enjoy the road others
18:50played for him over the next few days i was absorbed in treating lucian's old shoulder injury
18:57the rumors in the kingdom grew wilder kale's condition kept worsening
19:07he sent people to ask for me but lucian's shadow gods turned them away
19:15he came in person and i refused to see him
19:23finally on the night before the full moon mate ceremony he lost control
19:31i was returning from the training grounds pain struck the back of my neck
19:40darkness swallowed my vision
19:44when i woke the first thing i smelled was the faint bitterness of burning moonweed
19:48it was the scent i knew best for my last life
19:51i opened my eyes and found myself laying in a room arranged with an almost sicking familiarity
19:55white moon silk hung on the walls an herbal chest commonly used by the eastern pack stood by the bed
20:00near the window was even a luna ceremonial gown i had worn in my last life
20:03this was a room deep inside kale's fortress in my last life after i became his luna i had lived
20:08here
20:08the door opened kale walked in wearing the black formal robes for the full moon ceremony
20:12you're awake i pushed myself upright and realized my wrists were locked in thin silver chains pain
20:16pelced at my wrists the silver suppressed my healing and the wounds would not close
20:20kale you're insane he came to the bed and raised a hand as if to touch my face
20:23i turned away his hand froze in midair don't look at me like that
20:28in our last life didn't you love this room cold rushed through my body
20:34you waited here for me every day
20:36you prepared my medicine and sorted the elders council lists for me
20:39you said you would always stand by my side
20:44you really were reborn too yes so i know you were always meant to be my luna elena
20:52no matter how much you act out in this life you will come back to me in the end
21:02in our last life you had me tied to an altar you cut open my wrists and used my blood
21:08to save celeste
21:10and in this life you still want me to be your luna kale's face shifted you deceived me first you
21:16knew
21:16the crescent mark was fake but you let everyone believe you were the white wolf chosen by the moon
21:20goddess if not for you mother would never have forced me to take you as my mate i would never
21:24have
21:24been separated from salipa i laughed coldly so i merged your body back to health helped you win
21:30over the elders and stood beside you until you became alpha king only to die for your precious
21:35first love kale you really have no shame his eyes darkened instantly you only dare talk like this
21:41because lucien is protecting you but he can't protect you from me tomorrow is the full moon ceremony
21:45celeste will become my luna and you will stay here once i become alpha king i will make the elders
21:49recognize that you still belong to me werewolves do not have a second luna and no she-wolf would
21:54ever give the male who murdered her a second chance i suddenly bent my head and bit hard into the
21:59wrist
21:59he had brought too close blood spread over my tongue kale groaned in pain but he did not pull away
22:06immediately you really have changed and the more you change the less i can let you go celeste's voice
22:15came from outside the door kale are you in there celeste your future alpha has me chained in his room
22:21aren't you coming in to see i raised my voice at once the door flew open celeste stood there she
22:28saw
22:28the silver chains around my wrists then kale's bleeding wrist and her face twisted so it's true
22:35you said you were unwell and refused to let me near this wing because you were hiding her here
22:39kale snapped at once get out celeste's eyes were red tomorrow is our mate ceremony why are you still
22:47tangled up with elena i said get out celeste looked at me hatred in her eyes sharp enough to cut
22:56elena you really are something you wiped off the crescent rejected kale and hooked lucian now you want
23:02to ruin my mate ceremony too kale kidnapped me if you had even half a brain you would let me
23:07go right now
23:09let you go of course i'll let you leave just not alive my heart sank celeste pulled a tiny black
23:18vial
23:18from her sleeve the moment she opened it a sweet bloody stench spread through the room the vampire
23:24sleeping drack i held my breath at once but it was already too late as my vision blurred
23:31i saw kale collapse to the ground celeste what is that something that will help you make a choice
23:41darkness fell again before i lost consciousness completely i heard celeste whisper to someone
23:46outside the door the next day news of celeste's and my disappearance quickly spread throughout the
23:59kingdom when i woke cold wind cut across my face from high above i was bound at the edge of
24:05the
24:05kingdom's high tower the silver chains around my wrists had been replaced with silver cuffs
24:11they burned into my skin keeping my white wolf from fully waking celeste was bound on the other
24:17side her dress was dissembled tears clung to her face
24:22but the sweet bloody scent on her could not fool me it was not a werewolf scent she forged a
24:28blood
24:28packed with a vampire at the center of the tower stood a pale man he wore black his eyes were
24:33dark
24:33red and when he smiled his fangs showed rayon heir to the vampire clan in my last life celeste had
24:41been
24:41taken by vampires and kale had sacrificed me on the altar to save her so the kidnapping had never been
24:47an accident from the beginning she and the vampires had staged it together soon werewolves gathered
24:53below the tower rain spread his arms with a smile the northern wolf pack has kept the vampires under
25:00its heel for years it's time for us to take our revenge choose carefully only one can be saved the
25:06other will become my vampire bride condemned to an eternal life by my side where she will suffer
25:10under my torment forever have you made your choice who will you cast in eternal darkness
25:17the crowd erupted kale's pupils contracted his body was weak and in both lives he had never truly had
25:24an heir in his last life after he became the wolf king what he cared about most was succession
25:31so in this moment he barely hesitated elena don't blame me celeste is carrying my pup
25:41i have to choose her hearing that i laughed it had been the same in our last life he could
25:47always
25:47find a reason for his betrayal for love for the throne for a pup for the kingdom no matter the
25:53excuse i was always the one sacrificed rain smiled in satisfaction he raised his hand and the vampire
25:59servants released salelta at once
26:06salelta stumbled into kale's arms celeste is not pregnant she used the vampire blood contract
26:12to fake the scent of a pup just so you would choose her in front of everyone and abandon me
26:20the crowd exploded werewolves hated vampires more than anything to make a blood contract with a
26:26vampire vampire was to betray the pack kale lowered his eyes to salista in his arms she's lying kale
26:33she's only saying that because you chose me don't believe me look at the mark on her back
26:39let's see whether you carry a wolf pup or the residue of a vampire blood contract
26:46celeste's body stiffened visibly
26:49kale pulled down celeste's clothes revealing the mark of a vampire thrall
27:00you lied to me the softness in salete's eyes peeled away bit by bit so what if i forged a
27:06blood
27:06path with count rain did you really think i love that sickly body of yours if the luna queen hadn't
27:11promised you would become alpha king why would i ever have chosen you too bad you figured it out too
27:18late
27:24he pulled a bone whistle from inside his coat as long as every warrior in the kingdom was drawn here
27:29by the hostages on the tower the vampire main force in blood mist forest could storm the kingdom in the
27:34chaos the gate of blood mist forest has already opened for my clan he blew the whistle the shrill sound
27:42cut
27:42through the night in the distance came a sound like countless bat wings beating at once panic
27:47swept through the crowd kale instinctively stepped back fear appearing on his face for the first time
27:52elena you are clever but you still die today
27:59a silver blade pressed against my throat the next second my wolf spirit finally broke free of its
28:05suppression a white wolf's growl rolled from deep in my chest
28:10i threw myself backward with all the strength i had and landed on my feet
28:16lucian was the first to reach me he caught my wrist how bad is it i can still fight he
28:23looked at me and
28:24suddenly he smiled then fight
28:37the eastern pack warriors around me drop their cloaks revealing hunting armor hidden beneath
28:42formal robes alpha hair the lower exits are sealed
28:51good keep rain on that tower he wants to conquer the kingdom then let every wolf watch him fall
29:01the smile finally vanished from rayon's face he blew the bone whistle again
29:09this time no vampire army answered from the distance only wolf howls my father had arrived
29:14with the eastern packs wolf army everyone saw it the vampires that should have been attacking the
29:19kingdom were being driven all the way out of blood mist forest by eastern pack wolves
29:23their remaining shadows fleeing beneath the full moon lucian raised a hand
29:29and the royal shadow guards sealed the tower at once
29:35rain's escape route was cut off i stood below the tower and looked up at him
29:40you thought the gate of blood mist forest had opened i let you think that
29:45impossible celesta sent me the border defense map i looked at celesta
29:50that map was the one i allowed her to send the real borderline was changed three days ago her face
29:56had lost every trace of color the place your vampires stepped into tonight was not the entrance to the
30:01kingdom it was a hunting ground prepared for you by the eastern pack a louder uproar broke through
30:07the crowd only then did the kingdom's wolf elders realize the truth the so-called fallen eastern pack had
30:14never been some fringe pack far from power they guarded the most dangerous border in the kingdom
30:21without the eastern pack the vampires would have marched into the northern kingdom long ago
30:27my father walked forward from the wolves he bowed to the old alpha king the eastern pack has
30:34intercepted the vampire main force the letters and border maps exchanged between celestis family and the
30:39vampires are all here eastern pack warriors carried an iron chest before the elders council
30:44when the lid opened inside were letters soaked with the scent of blood the seal of the vampire clan
30:50and suppressmases secretly stored by celeste's family the evidence was irrefutable celeste screamed and
30:56tried to run but the kingdom's guards forced her to the ground no those are fake elena framed me
31:05cale stared at the evidence as if every bit of strength had been drained from him
31:16why would you do this why because i was tired of waiting you were weak your mother could not make
31:23the
31:24elders recognize you then elena appeared and everyone said she could make you alpha king i did not want to
31:30lose to her the vampires could give me power they could help me kill her they could help me become
31:35luna queen she turned her venomous gaze on me why does everyone keep looking at you just because they
31:41say you can put a man on the throne i am not standing here because of the crescent mark i
31:45am standing here
31:46because of the eastern packs wolf army because my father spent half his life guarding the border and
31:51because of the claws i sharpened in blood mist forest you only know how to kneel at a vampire's feet
31:56and steal the road someone else built
32:04celeste lunged for me but the warriors pilled her harder to the ground the old alpha king immediately
32:09gave the order celeste's family will be handed over to the elders council for judgment anyone involved
32:15in the vampire blood contracts will be stripped of pack status and exiled to the border prison
32:26celeste screamed again but no one in the crowd pitied her anymore
32:31rain tried to dissolve into black mist and escape lucian had already prepared for it net soaked in
32:36garlic extract fell from the four corners of the tower in slashing him and holding him fast the
32:40vampire scream echoed through the kingdom lucian you sick wolves release me you entered the kingdom under
32:48the full moon and tried to start a war you should be grateful you are still alive to scream rain's
32:54black
32:54mist hissed where it touched the silver net and the smell of burning vampire flesh spread across the tower
33:01the elder who had mocked the eastern pack earlier lowered their heads
33:06the eastern pack saved the kingdom and we almost handed their heir to kale as a sacrifice
33:12but the one who collapsed first was not celeste or rain it was kale
33:18he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and crashed to his knees
33:23the luna queen cried out and lunged toward him
33:26kale shoved her away and crawled towards me staggering ruined his eyes were bloodshot the pride of royal blood
33:34had shattered completely lena save me i know i was wrong everyone watched him the kale who had once
33:43stood above everyone else in my past life now knelt at my feet like a dying wolf that had been
33:46cast aside
33:52i was wrong in our last life i should not have trusted celeste i should not have killed you
33:58if you save me i'll give you anything
34:03i crouched and looked into his eyes i don't need anything from you whatever i want i'll take myself
34:11kale's breathing grew more ragged his body had never been strong enough and these past days he had refused
34:16the healer care stubbornly waiting for fate to turn him around the way it had in our last life
34:20but he had forgotten it was not the moon goddess who had made him better it was me i stood
34:27haven't you always believed you were the alpha truly chosen by the moon goddess
34:31then let the moon goddess save you
34:37kale collapsed beneath the full moon broken gasps scraping from his throat
34:43the luna queen wept and ordered the healers to save him
34:47no one could drag a man whose body was already spent back from the edge of death
34:52before kale died his eyes stayed fixed on me
34:56elena
35:01but no sound came off to my name his hand fell to the ground
35:10the full moon shone over his empty eyes for a moment the entire kingdom fell silent
35:19celesta still pinned to the ground stared at kale's body
35:25no no he can't die he was supposed to become alpha king
35:29i looked at her without pity
35:32you chose him
35:35you chose him because you wanted a crown
35:39now you can mourn the crown with him
35:44after kale's death the luna queen was removed by the elders council and confined to the north
35:48tower of the palace celesta's family was stripped of elder status for making blood contracts with
35:54vampires celesta herself was sent to the border prison near blood mist forest where there were no
35:59banquets no fine dresses only the darkness and howling wolves she feared most prince rain of the vampires was
36:06locked in a silver cage and handed over to the eastern pack for interrogation
36:11the mood in the kingdom changed overnight
36:14the elders who had once mocked the eastern pack as fallen now came one by one with gifts
36:19and apologies at last they understood i was not the pretty bride the royal family used to decorate a
36:26prophecy we were the mirror listening we were the first line of claws standing between the northern
36:32kingdom and the vampires in the judgment hall the old alpha king looked as if he had aged 10 years
36:38overnight elena the northern kingdom owes the eastern pack a debt
36:44i bowed a debt is not paid with words your majesty the eastern pack did not need pity we needed
36:51authority military rights and the power to stop the kingdom from sacrificing us ever again
36:56then let the elders prepare the decree the border will no longer be managed by people who have never
37:02bled in blood mist forest the elder looked at him for once no one dared object
37:09three months later the old alpha king stepped down under the full moon lucian completed his ascension
37:15ceremony and became the new alpha king of the northern kingdom that day the entire kingdom believed
37:20i would become his luna queen when the luna crown was brought before me its gems shone sharply under the
37:25moonlight in my last life i had imagined myself wearing that crown countless times but now looking at it
37:32i felt only calm the elder held the crown with both hands and bowed before me
37:42elena of the eastern pack the crown of the lunar queen awaits you
37:48whispers rose around the moon temple of course she will take it she supported the new alpha king
37:55the prophecy came true after all she chose lucian and lucian became king
38:00i heard every word a beautiful she-wolf a useful prophecy a crown that proved a man's wernsworth
38:09lucian stood on the platform and watched me
38:13i lifted my hand and pushed the crown back
38:19the elders council erupted in shock elena do you understand this is the lunar crown of the northern
38:26kingdom
38:29i understand it better than anyone and that was why i would not wear it
38:36i turned to face every pack
38:39in my last life and in this one the kingdom remembers only one rumor
38:44they say whoever takes me as his mate will become alpha king
38:49but i am not a key to the throne and i am not proof that any man deserves power my
38:55father stepped
38:55out from the eastern packs ranks and placed a wolf bone ring in my hand it was the symbol of
39:01the eastern
39:01packs alpha the ring was old passed down through generations of eastern pack alphas when i put it on
39:09every warrior of the eastern pack lowered their heads
39:14i heard my wolf spirit release a long low growl inside my chest in that moment i was no longer
39:21the
39:22she-wolf brought to the kingdom to be chosen by others i was the new alpha of the eastern pack
39:28alpha elena the title struck the moon temple harder than any prophecy
39:34one young eastern warrior dropped to one knee
39:38we follow the alpha of the eastern pack
39:41then another warrior knelled then another
39:48lucien announced before everyone
39:51the eastern pack has earned the highest honor in the war against the vampires from this day forward
39:56the eastern pack will hold independent military authority over the border any military matter
40:00involving blood mist forest the vampire clans or the eastern pack's defense line
40:04may not be decided by the kingdom over the head of the eastern packs alpha elena will guard the
40:09border with the northern kingdom as alpha of the eastern pack
40:16after lucien's decree rang out
40:20then the wolves of the eastern pack howled first
40:26one by one more packs answered
40:32the howls swept over the kingdom toward blood mist forest and toward the full moon altar where i had once
40:38died
40:41i did not become luna queen
40:43but i had my own pack my own territory
40:47my own military power that weighed more than any crown
40:52my own territory
40:54and i was about to leave out the last year
40:56that's the move
40:56i got it
