00:00Gareth's legs are ruined. There's no wolf pack in North America that can heal them.
00:04When I said this, the entire Blood Moon Manor went silent.
00:08Trapped in the Blackwood chair, Gareth Thorne suddenly lifted his head, his pupils burning with fury.
00:15Shut that cursed mouth of yours! Get out of my territory!
00:18With a crash, the wine glass in his hand shattered at my feet.
00:22Looking at his frenzied state, I didn't feel anger, but instead, an unexpected sense of satisfaction.
00:28I was the last white wolf of the Vance family, with the rare healer bloodline.
00:34My blood could purify all dark magic, even neutralize deadly silver poison.
00:41In my previous life, after I used my healing blood to cure Gareth Thorne, the heir to the Blood Moon
00:47Pack, of his paralyzed legs,
00:50I learned that the Blood Moon Pack had publicly declared, whoever heals Gareth will become the future Luna of the
00:58pack.
00:58Gareth was forced to bond with me as his mate.
01:01Meanwhile, Serena Locke, the half-baked Hedge Witch who had once been connected to him, fell into despair and ultimately
01:08died in hopelessness.
01:09Gareth pressed a silver knife hard against my wrist, his eyes bloodshot.
01:15If it weren't for you forcing me to marry you under the guise of healing me, Serena wouldn't have died
01:20in despair.
01:21We could have completed the bonding ceremony and become faded mates.
01:25It was you, selfish, cruel she-wolf, who killed her!
01:29You deserve to die.
01:32He stood there coldly, watching, Nastbud to love.
01:41Watching as I took my last breath.
01:46When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day when Vivian, the former Luna of the Blood
01:52Moon Pack, had asked me to heal Gareth.
01:55This was the second chance Moon Goddess had granted me, after hearing my prayers just before death, during a lunar
02:02eclipse.
02:02This time, the Vance family's white wolf would not waste a drop of blood on this devil.
02:07Get out!
02:08Gareth's pale neck bulged with veins as he pointed toward the door, roaring.
02:13Throw this liar and deceiver out!
02:15What kind of healer are you?
02:17Just a worthless she-wolf who can't even find a mate, daring to speak nonsense here.
02:24When Serena brews the potion, I'll make you beg me on your knees to lick my boots.
02:30I brushed off my coat and laughed, mockingly.
02:34Gareth, a true alpha, commands a pack through strength and pressure, not by throwing tantrums like a whimpering pup.
02:40I look down at him.
02:41Since you've placed all your hopes in a third-rate witch and a vial of suspicious potion,
02:45I hope you rot on this useless iron chair for the rest of your life.
02:49Don't worry.
02:50Soon the whole Silver Pine Valley will know that the heir to the Blood Moon Pack is nothing but dead
02:54weight.
02:55I'll rip your throat out!
02:58Gareth coughed violently.
03:00A black bloodstain at the corner of his mouth.
03:06Just then, a figure rushed into the hall.
03:09Gareth!
03:11Serena cried out, her eyes full of concern as she rushed to him,
03:16tightly embracing the man gasping for breath in the iron chair.
03:26She wiped the black blood from Gareth's lips with a handkerchief, then suddenly turned her head, shooting a venomous glare
03:33at me.
03:33Allura, how can you be so cold-hearted and vicious?! Gareth is the heir to the Blood Moon Pack! You
03:42watched him die and did nothing to help! You're not worthy of the healer bloodline!
03:51I sneered.
03:53I sneered. Since you're so concerned about your alpha, why don't you use that great hedge witch magic of yours
03:58to save him?
04:00Don't come here shouting at me. I'm not buying it.
04:04You think he can't survive without you?
04:06Serena bit her lip.
04:08Let me tell you, I already know the way to fully heal Garry.
04:16Once I brew that potion and get him back on his feet, I'll make sure to smash that arrogant face
04:20of yours in front of the whole pack!
04:22An amateur witch who can't even properly cast a healing spell? She thinks she can cure the nerve damage caused
04:29by advanced wolf poison? That's pure fantasy.
04:33Is that so? If you really had a solution, he wouldn't be coughing like he's about to cough up his
04:38lungs.
04:41Serena straightened up, lifting her chin defiantly.
04:45Don't believe me? Then let's make a bet. If I heal Garry, I want you kneeling in front of the
04:53Blood Moon Manor, apologizing and begging for mercy.
05:03A bet? I shook my head without hesitation. I refuse. Before Serena could show her mocking face, I adjusted the
05:11hem of my coat and spoke calmly.
05:12There's no need for a bet. With your amateur tricks, Gareth's only fate in this life is to sit comfortably
05:18in that chair, waiting to die.
05:20You cruel, heartless monster! Get out!
05:23Allura, you'll pay for your arrogance today! You'll regret this!
05:26Now!
05:27As their insults echoed behind me, I didn't stop, wrapping my coat tighter around me.
05:35I strode out of the manor.
05:37I gripped the steering wheel, my gaze fixed on the dark forest ahead.
05:41There, in the heart of the land, stood the most mysterious place on the continent, Shadowcrest Fortress.
05:50In my previous life,
05:52frozen, he was on the brink of death.
05:54Back then, I stood by, too afraid to get involved in the pack's struggles,
05:59and I watched silently as the Alpha, who should have ruled the East Coast,
06:04perished in that long, torturing agony.
06:07This time, I wouldn't stand by and do nothing.
06:16I turned the car around, slammed my foot on the gas, and sped toward the Shadow Territory.
06:25When I reached the gates of Shadowcrest Fortress, the atmosphere was suffocating.
06:31The guards had red-rimmed eyes, vigilantly scanning every corner.
06:39Two werewolves blocked my path.
06:44This is Shadow Territory.
06:46No outsiders are allowed near.
06:48I'm Elora Vance.
06:50I've come to save your leader.
06:52I opened the car door and stepped out.
06:55Perhaps it was the certainty in my voice that intimidated them.
06:58They exchanged glances before stepping aside to let me through.
07:03Inside the fortress, chaos reigned.
07:06Lower-ranking wolves huddled in the hall, softly sobbing,
07:11while several core elders argued loudly around a physician.
07:16Useless!
07:17We've had so many doctors try and fail.
07:21What good are you?
07:23Marcus, Julian's lieutenant, roared out on the wall.
07:27Lord Marcus.
07:28The physician shook his head in despair.
07:30The poison contains high-purity silver flakes and dark magic.
07:35It's already infiltrated the leader's cardiovascular system.
07:39Unless the moon goddess herself intervenes...
07:41Then move aside.
07:42My voice cut through the hole, sharp and sudden.
07:46Instantly, all conversation ceased.
07:49On the massive bed, Julian lay with his eyes shut tight,
07:53his complexion pale as paper.
07:55Deep purple veins of poison spread from his neck to his cheek.
07:59Who are you?
08:00Who allowed you in here?
08:02Marcus snapped, turning toward me.
08:04I'm the one who can keep him alive.
08:06I turned to face him, speaking each word deliberately.
08:10I'm taking responsibility for Julian's life.
08:13If you want him to live, shut up and get out.
08:18Go prepare hot water and clean bandages.
08:24I pricked my fingertip, slowly injecting the special serum infused with the blood of a white wolf into Julian's veins.
08:34The deep purple poison lines began to fade from his chest, and the powerful Alpha's self-healing mechanism slowly ticked
08:43back into action.
08:45For an entire month, Gareth kept his eyes tightly shut.
08:49But both Marcus and the healers of the shadow pack knew that the various medical readings were steadily rising.
08:56Their king was silently coming back to life.
09:00One month later,
09:03An invitation arrived at my apartment.
09:06The blood moon pack was hosting a grand full moon celebration to witness Gareth Thorne's rebirth.
09:15I entered the banquet hall as promised.
09:17As soon as I stepped through the door, I saw Gareth sitting in a black wood iron chair, with Serena
09:22perched on his lap.
09:24The two of them were kissing each other without a care in the world.
09:27Look who's here!
09:28Our famous Vance fraud!
09:30Gareth shoved the woman off his lap, his eyes filled with mockery and malice.
09:34What's the matter?
09:35Has the shadow pack finally kicked your little charlatan self out?
09:39I heard that poor Julian is still lying there like a corpse,
09:42kept alive only by machines.
09:46Several elder wolves around us erupted into loud mocking laughter.
09:51Gareth raised an eyebrow dismissively.
09:54Allura, there's no such thing as a white wolf healer myth in this world.
09:58The Vance family has just been peddling false legends.
10:02I've invited you here today so you can see for yourself.
10:07What really has the power to get me back on my feet?
10:14The Vance
10:15Serena smugly presented a gift box, inside which was a crystal vial emitting a strange enchanting fragrance.
10:23With all eyes on him, Gareth tilted his head back and drank the contents of the vial in one swift
10:28motion.
10:29In the blink of an eye, the bulging veins on his head quickly flattened, and a powerful alpha energy erupted
10:36from within him.
10:37He pushed the metal armrests aside, and amid gasps of astonishment, stood up straight.
10:42He even stretched his shoulders, and his face instantly lit up with the unmistakable red glow of a top tier
10:50alpha.
10:51Goddess above, he really stood up!
10:53Someone gasped.
10:54Praise the goddess!
10:57Miss Locke's potion really has such miraculous effects!
10:59Another exclaimed.
11:01Serena strutted up to me, her eyes filled with arrogance.
11:05Did you see that, Allura?
11:07This is the power I brought to Gareth.
11:11She covered her mouth and laughed coquettishly, mocking me without mercy.
11:16Look at you, Allura!
11:17You spent all that effort using your so-called noble healing blood to treat Julian,
11:22and yet he lay there for a month without even blinking.
11:25Meanwhile, my Gareth just drank a potion and instantly returned to peak condition.
11:32Gareth stepped toward me, looking down at me with cold eyes.
11:36The truth is, Serena is my salvation.
11:39You, on the other hand, are just a pathetic parasite.
11:42Now that you see my healthy body, do you have any last words, you fraud?
11:50Faced with Gareth's arrogant challenge, I didn't panic like they expected.
11:55Instead, I picked up a glass of champagne from a nearby waiter's tray, elegantly taking a sip.
12:02I chuckled softly.
12:03Last words?
12:04No, Gareth.
12:05I'm simply offering you some free end-of-life care, as any professional healer would.
12:10At those words, Serena shrieked in fury.
12:14Allura, you're still talking back!
12:16You vile woman, you can't stand seeing Gareth thriving!
12:19He's strong enough to rip you apart now.
12:21And you think some curses can cover up your incompetence?
12:24Miss Locke, if I were you, I wouldn't be putting my hands on his waist right now.
12:30I looked at her with pity, my eyes full of derision.
12:35Can't you smell that?
12:37It's not the pure alpha pheromones he's emitting.
12:39It's the rancid stench of decay, like a dead rat rotting in a swamp.
12:45That's the scent of his muscle cells rapidly deteriorating.
12:48Gareth's face contorted with fury.
12:51He took a menacing step toward me, trying to use his intimidating presence to force me into submission.
12:56Shut your filthy mouth!
12:58You're just jealous!
12:59I feel powerful now, blood boiling in my veins, my body brimming with strength!
13:04As for that mutt, Julian rotting away in Shadowhawk Fortress, he'll never open his eyes again.
13:10He'll just lie there like trash, with tubes shoved into every orasis until he decays!
13:19Julian is in a dormant state, allowing the wolf spirit to heal himself and receive the moon goddess blessing.
13:25I said, unwavering, staring directly into Gareth's eyes, a smile playing at the corner of my lips.
13:32And you, Gareth? You can't seriously believe that a bowl of mysterious black liquid can defy the laws of nature
13:38and instantly cure nerve damage, can you?
13:41I pointed at his neck. Go take a look in the mirror. Look at the veins in your neck.
13:46That's not healthy blood color, that's the black line of toxins flowing backwards.
13:50What you drank wasn't some miraculous potion.
13:53It's a neurostimulant from the black market, designed to drain the last bits of life force.
13:58Right now, it's blocking your pain and forcing your severed spinal cord together.
14:04Gareth's breathing grew heavier. He touched his neck, sneering.
14:08You're just spouting nonsense! You damn she-wolf are just stalling!
14:12I'll have someone throw you out of Silver Pine Valley immediately!
14:15Don't be in such a hurry to get rid of me, Gareth.
14:18The show is just beginning. I swirled the champagne in my glass.
14:22Enjoy your last moment standing.
14:24Feel that surge of adrenaline giving you false strength.
14:28When the backlash of the drug bursts through your veins, you'll be writhing on the ground like a pitiful maggot.
14:35Gareth roared, raising his arm.
14:38You're dead today!
14:41However, just as he took his second step, the fury on his face froze.
14:45A chilling crack-crack sound came from his knees.
14:51No! My legs! Why can't I feel my legs?
14:56Gareth crashed to the floor. The more he struggled, the stronger the putrid stench became, with pus seeping from his
15:04suit pants, staining the floor with a disgusting, foul mark.
15:08Gareth! Gareth! This can't be- this can't be happening!
15:12Serena screamed in horror.
15:15She frantically waved her hands, trying to cast a healing spell with her hedge-witch magic.
15:22But the faint green light vanished the moment it touched Gareth's rotting skin.
15:26The elders of the pack backed away, holding their noses.
15:29I told you, I said.
15:31I stood calmly in the center of the chaos, looking down at Gareth.
15:35I finished the last sip of my champagne, then gently set the glass down and clapped my hands together.
15:43Now that the Blood Moon Pack so-called miracle is over, it's time to show you what real healing looks
15:49like.
15:49With a sharp clip, the double doors at the end of the hall were kicked open.
15:54Amid the gasps of the crowd, a tall, powerful figure stepped into the room, silhouetted against the light.
16:01Julian? Julian Blackwood?
16:03The entire room erupted in shock. Julian's muscles were firm and strong,
16:08and the oppressive presence of a top-tier alpha made even some of the elders in the room struggle to
16:14breathe.
16:16Julian walked through the crowd without acknowledging anyone, heading straight to my side.
16:22He placed his hand on my shoulder. He leaned down slightly.
16:28Sorry, Allura. It took a bit longer to deal with those traitors in the shadow pack. I'm late.
16:34He turned his head, his piercing gaze landing on Serena, who was pale and trembling, and a sneer curled at
16:41the corner of his lips.
16:42I couldn't help but overhear. Someone was questioning Allura's medical skills.
16:47Julian took my hand, and gently traced the pad of his finger over my palm.
16:52Allura, thank you.
16:57You gave me a second life. Not only did you cure the wolf poison in my body, but you also
17:03reshaped my bloodline.
17:04Gareth stared at Julian's legs, his blood blackened mouth oozing more poison before his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed
17:12unconscious.
17:14Serena, now lying on the ground, couldn't even summon the courage to look at Julian.
17:19After that disastrous full moon celebration, Gareth's messenger almost wore out the door to my apartment.
17:26From threats and bribes to boxes of blood moon packed magical potions and territorial contracts, he even sent a handwritten
17:33letter of apology.
17:34I didn't even bother opening the envelope. I had Marcus throw the garbage straight into the fireplace.
17:41That evening, I drove alone, heading to meet Julian for dinner. However, as I pulled into a driveway, two cars
17:48suddenly emerged from the shadows and blocked my path.
17:53The doors opened, and several blood moon wolves, their faces ashen, stepped out. With their heads bowed, they lifted a
18:02black metal wheelchair from the back seat.
18:05Gareth Thorne, the once unstoppable top-tier alpha, was slumped in the wheelchair, his condition a mere shadow of his
18:13former self.
18:14I stepped out of the car, and surveyed the man before me with cold eyes. His long legs were completely
18:21severed from the thighs. His face had withered, his eyes sunken, and there was no trace left of the former
18:27alpha's strength.
18:29Laura?
18:30The moment he saw me, Gareth's clouded eyes flashed with a crazed light. He desperately twisted the metal wheels of
18:38the chair to roll closer to me, but his forceful movements almost caused him to topple over.
18:44You're finally willing to see me. I knew you wouldn't be so heartless.
18:49I took a step back, avoiding his dirty hand as it reached for the hem of my coat.
18:54Gareth, are you insane?
18:55For a moment, Gareth's expression twisted, but he swallowed his emotions and tilted his head back, pleading with an utterly
19:03humbling posture.
19:04No, no, no! I'm here to apologize! Elora, please! Save me!
19:10His voice was frantic as he clutched the cold metal armrest.
19:15My amputated wounds are still rotting, and no ordinary doctor can stop the spread of the dark magic toxins.
19:24Only you, only your healing blood can save me, can make my legs grow back!
19:30If you heal me, everything in the Blood Moon Pack will be yours.
19:34I swear, I will be loyal to you alone from now on!
19:42Grow back your legs?
19:44Gareth, it seems that the wolf poison from the black market not only corroded your body, but also fried your
19:50brain.
19:51I look down at him coldly.
19:53Healing blood isn't a wish-granting pool, and I don't have the power to create something from nothing.
19:58You should go beg your true love, not block my path here.
20:03She's not a true love! She's a complete fraud! A scoundrel who belongs in hell!
20:09Gareth suddenly let out a heart-ranking scream, and with a violent gesture, he shouted at the guards behind him.
20:14Drag that woman here! Let Elora see my sincerity!
20:20With the sound of heavy chains dragging, a blooded woman was pulled from the trunk by two tall wolves and
20:29thrown onto the gravel-covered asphalt with a harsh thud.
20:32It was Serena.
20:34Her red dress was torn into ragged strips, and her exposed skin was covered in brutal burns and claw marks.
20:41She lay there, barely alive, only able to gasp for breath, too weak even to scream.
20:46Do you see, Elora?
20:50Gareth pointed at Serena, his face contorted with hatred.
20:55This is all because of this vicious liar!
20:59She bought the poison from the black market! She blinded me with her lies!
21:05I was deceived by her, and that's why I did those terrible things to you!
21:14Gareth even struggled to lean forward in the chair, grabbing Serena's hair with difficulty.
21:20I've figured it out! She doesn't make healing potions!
21:24She's been trading poison through her hedge-witch connections on the black market!
21:29She destroyed my pride and almost ruined our relationship!
21:36Gareth looked at me desperately.
21:38I've already punished her for you. I've broken her bones, piece by piece.
21:43Just say the word, and I'll snap her neck myself, myself to avenge you.
21:49Elora, forgive me, please. If you heal me, we can start over.
21:53Gareth, do you really think that by shifting all the blame onto a woman you've tortured into this state,
22:00you can wash away your own stupidity and cowardness?
22:04I looked at him coldly, my eyes filled with contempt.
22:08Gareth froze, opening his mouth as if to argue.
22:13Elora, I was really deceived by her.
22:16Shut up!
22:18I cut him off sharply.
22:20It wasn't her who deceived you, it was your own pathetic arrogance and pride that blinded you.
22:25You chose to believe her not because of some so-called love,
22:27but because you arrogantly believed that anything you chose must be the best.
22:31You never loved anyone, Gareth Thorne.
22:33You only loved that high and mighty version of yourself.
22:36Gareth's face turned pale instantly.
22:39I took a step forward, looking down at the man who once stood as the world's strongest alpha.
22:44Each word I spoke was a sentence to his fate.
22:49Listen closely, Thorne.
22:51Even if your blood drains drop by drop,
22:53even if your flesh rots in the mud of Silverpine Valley,
22:56I will never waste another drop of healer's blood on you.
23:00Take your greed and your mess,
23:02and suffer in the hell you created for yourself.
23:05With those words, I didn't spare him another glance.
23:08I ignored the feeble Serena on the ground and turned without condition to get into my car.
23:14No! Elora!
23:16You can't just leave!
23:18Come back!
23:20The roar of the engine drowned out Gareth's desperate scream.
23:24He flung himself at my car's rear,
23:27but in his frantic attempt,
23:29he and his chair tumbled into the muddy ditch by the side of the road.
23:34I pressed the accelerator.
23:37Leaving his desperate cries far behind,
23:40half an hour later,
23:42my car came to a stop at the edge of a redwood forest criff in Silverpine Valley.
23:47There, Julian Blackwood had been waiting for some time.
23:50He had set up a candle-lit dinner,
23:53even lighting a bonfire nearby to war off the chill.
23:57Hearing the car,
23:58he turned,
23:59his deep gray wolf eyes,
24:01soft and full of warmth.
24:03But just as I drew near,
24:08his sharp alpha senses made him frown slightly.
24:12You carry the stench of the blood moon pack,
24:14and an overwhelming sense of despair.
24:17Julian said as he quickly walked over,
24:20pulling me into his embraces with a protective fierceness.
24:24His eyes hardened in anger.
24:27Did Gareth, that useless fool, bother you?
24:30I'll have Marcus take his head off right now.
24:34No need to dirty the shadow pack's hands.
24:37I leaned against his broad, warm chest,
24:40feeling the strength of his heartbeat.
24:42My tightly wound nerves finally began to relax.
24:46I looked up at him and gave a small smile.
24:49He's just garbage,
24:50already consumed by the abyss.
24:53Every second he lives is torture,
24:55and for him,
24:57death would be a relief.
24:59Julian looked down at me,
25:00his fingers gently brushing a strand of hair from my face as he whispered,
25:04As long as you're okay,
25:06I won't allow anyone to make you suffer again.
25:09In the months that followed,
25:11Julian and I grew even closer.
25:13With the blood moon pack no longer interfering,
25:16the shadow pack under Julian's leadership rapidly expanded and became the undisputed ruler of the East Coast.
25:23And he,
25:24the iron-fisted leader who struck fear into the supernatural world,
25:27always put aside his sharp edge in front of me,
25:30showing me only his softest tenderness and affection.
25:33That was until the first snow of early winter fell in Silver Pine Valley.
25:39We stood at the top of Shadowcrest Fortress,
25:42overlooking the vast territory below.
25:45Julian suddenly wrapped his arms tightly around me from behind,
25:49resting his chin lightly on my neck.
25:51His alpha scent,
25:53mixed with the smell of fir trees,
25:55completely enveloped me.
25:57Elora.
25:58His voice was deep and smooth,
26:00tinged with a barely noticeable hint of nervousness.
26:03I was once a lone wolf,
26:05fighting in the darkness,
26:06thinking I would only ever be surrounded by blood and power.
26:10You took my life from the hands of death.
26:12And you,
26:13you gave this cold body a soul again.
26:19He gently turned me to face him,
26:21kneeling on one knee.
26:23From his coat pocket,
26:24he pulled out a moonstone antique ring.
26:26I don't need fangs and claws to conquer you.
26:28I offer you all my loyalty and my life.
26:31Julian looked at me with unwavering sincerity,
26:34his tone as solemn as a vow.
26:36Be my mate.
26:37Be the luna of the Shadow Pack.
26:38Let me spend my life protecting you.
26:40Looking into the depth of his affection,
26:43warmth spread through my chest.
26:45The pain and betrayal of my past life
26:47were finally healed in this moment.
26:49I was moved to tears,
26:52just opening my mouth to say,
26:54I do.
26:56She doesn't want to!
27:00A scream rang out from the darkness.
27:04Several low-ranking wolves,
27:06pushing the heavy blackwood iron chair,
27:08came up the tower ramp.
27:10Gareth's eyes were bloodshot with madness
27:12as he locked his gaze onto me.
27:15Allura!
27:16You can't say yes to him!
27:18Just as the moonstone ring's soft glow flickered,
27:21Gareth's pupils suddenly dilated.
27:23I remember now!
27:24This ring!
27:25I remember everything!
27:27In our past life,
27:28we were a pair!
27:29It's my fault.
27:31I was blinded by that bitch Serena.
27:33I know now,
27:34you are my true fated mate.
27:36Please,
27:36come back to me!
27:37I stared at him in disbelief.
27:40I couldn't believe it.
27:41When he touched the moonstone ring,
27:44blessed by the moon goddess,
27:45Gareth was forced to awaken
27:47the memories of our past life.
27:49This was the moon goddess's cruelest punishment.
27:53Not only had she let Gareth's body rot,
27:56but she also forced him to relive
27:58every moment of how he had tormented me
28:00in the past life,
28:01only to lose everything in the end.
28:06Julian immediately stepped in front of me,
28:09his massive alpha aura bursting forth,
28:11his eyes cold as steel.
28:13Gareth,
28:14are you completely out of your mind?
28:15You dare stir trouble in my territory?
28:17Today,
28:18I'll snap your neck for good.
28:19Gareth ignored everything,
28:21his eyes filled with a sickly,
28:23greedy gaze fixed on me.
28:25Allura,
28:26I know you've been reborn too.
28:28There's no way you would just stand by
28:30and watch me die in this life if you didn't.
28:32You hate me,
28:33because in the last life,
28:35I drained your blood.
28:37It's all my fault!
28:40But I regret it.
28:41I truly regret it.
28:43I swear,
28:44I fell in love with you long ago.
28:46Give me another chance,
28:47please.
28:48If you give me your blood
28:49and heal my legs,
28:50I'll take everything back.
28:52We can start over!
28:54I stepped out from behind Julian,
28:57looking at him with disgust.
28:58Gareth Thorne,
28:59what are you even dreaming about?
29:00This pitiful,
29:01abandoned state you're in right now?
29:03Doesn't it match exactly
29:04what you desperately chased
29:05in our past life?
29:06I've only made sure
29:07you're getting the end you deserve,
29:08and stop using the word love
29:10to nauseate me.
29:10I squeezed Julian's hand
29:13and turned to leave
29:14without hesitation.
29:17No!
29:19Allura!
29:20You can't do this to me!
29:22Gareth's frantic hands
29:24pushed the heavy metal wheels
29:25of the chair,
29:26but his weak arms
29:27couldn't control the direction.
29:29The wheels got stuck
29:30in the cracks of the stone,
29:31and the chair,
29:33along with him,
29:34toppled heavily
29:35onto the cold ground.
29:36He struggled in the snow,
29:38desperately reaching
29:39his hand out toward me.
29:44Please,
29:45give me your blood.
29:48Give me another chance.
29:51I didn't even glance back,
29:53quickening my pace
29:54as I walked back
29:54to the warmth
29:55of the inner chambers.
29:57Back at Shadowhest Fortress,
29:59I told Julian everything
30:01about the hellish experience
30:02of my past life.
30:04After hearing everything,
30:05Julian slammed his fist
30:07onto the wooden table,
30:08causing it to splinter instantly.
30:11Allura.
30:11He pulled me tightly
30:12into his embrace,
30:14his voice hozzy from fury.
30:15What he did to you
30:16in the past life,
30:17I'll make him pay
30:18a thousand times over.
30:19However,
30:20before Julian could launch
30:22a full retaliation
30:23against the Blood Moon Pack,
30:25the completely unhinged Gareth
30:27used a black market transaction token
30:30he had secretly held on to.
30:34Hiring a few rogue wolves.
30:37That day,
30:38in order to prepare
30:39a special healing potion
30:40for the Shadow Pack,
30:41I insisted on going alone
30:42to pick some rare
30:43moonlight grass.
30:45Unfortunately,
30:45I got out of the guard's sight
30:47and was kidnapped by them
30:48with a tranquilizer.
30:50When I woke up,
30:51I found myself bound
30:52in an abandoned slaughterhouse.
30:54My limbs were chained
30:56with thick iron links
30:57containing silver flakes,
30:59burning so badly
31:00that I couldn't gather
31:01any strength.
31:02Be good, Allura.
31:04Gareth sat in the old
31:05iron chair,
31:06holding a surgical knife
31:07that glinted coldly
31:08in the dim light.
31:09His expression was twisted,
31:10sick,
31:11and depraved.
31:12Why are you
31:14with that bastard Julian?
31:16You know how much
31:17I hate him.
31:18You actually used
31:19your precious healing blood
31:20to save him.
31:22Yet you watched me
31:24have my legs amputated!
31:28He cursed as he slowly
31:30moved closer to me,
31:31his eyes gleaming
31:32with a sickly light.
31:33But it's okay.
31:34I'm not angry at you.
31:35Because I love you so much,
31:37I'll punish you accordingly.
31:39This time,
31:40I'll lock you
31:41in a basement
31:42where no one
31:43will find you.
31:45Just like in our past life,
31:47you'll only belong to me.
31:49As long as your blood
31:50drains dry,
31:51I'll grow new legs.
31:52Once I become
31:54the strongest alpha again,
31:55I'll make you my slave.
31:57Branding you with a mark
31:58that will never be erased!
32:01We'll have many
32:02pure blood children.
32:04I looked at the knife
32:05in his hand,
32:06a chill running down
32:08my spine,
32:09struggling desperately.
32:11Gareth, wake up!
32:14You're insane!
32:16The nerves in your legs
32:17are completely dead!
32:19Even if you drain my blood,
32:20you won't grow new legs.
32:25Healing magic
32:25doesn't work like that.
32:27Let me go!
32:28Julian is coming for you
32:29and you'll die without a trace!
32:30But he was completely
32:32immersed in his delusion,
32:33unable to hear any reason.
32:35Allura,
32:36it will hurt a little.
32:37Bear with it.
32:39Soon,
32:39we'll be together forever.
32:41Just as he raised
32:42the sharp knife,
32:43preparing to cut open
32:44my carotid artery,
32:46the heavy iron door
32:48of the slaughterhouse
32:49was kicked open
32:49with terrifying force.
32:54Julian,
32:55in a half-wolf state,
32:56leapt through the air.
32:58With one powerful kick,
32:59he sent Gareth
33:00in his chair flying,
33:02slamming into a brick wall
33:03on the other side.
33:08Allura!
33:08Seeing me chained
33:10with silver links,
33:11the murderless intent
33:12in Julia's eyes
33:13became almost tangible.
33:14He tore the chains apart
33:16with his bare hands
33:17and pulled my weakened body
33:19tightly into his arms.
33:24I'm sorry.
33:26I'm late.
33:28Don't be afraid.
33:29I'm here now.
33:36I couldn't hold back
33:37any longer
33:38and broke down,
33:39sobbing uncontrollably.
33:43Gareth lay in a pool
33:44of his own blood,
33:45watching us embrace.
33:47A wild, desperate,
33:48and jealous scream
33:50tore from his throat.
33:53Somehow,
33:54he found the strength.
33:56While Julian had
33:58his backs turned
33:59comfortingly,
34:00Gatha used the last
34:01of his strength
34:01to hurl the silver poison knife
34:03at Julian's back.
34:05Julian grunt,
34:06his sharp alpha instincts
34:07kicking in,
34:08he swiftly sidestepped,
34:10catching the flying blade
34:11with ease.
34:15Off balance
34:16from his own force,
34:18Gathrath desperately fell
34:20into the blooded floor,
34:21unable to react in time.
34:23Go to hell,
34:24and stay with your ambitions,
34:26Thorn.
34:28Julian's voice was cold as ice.
34:32Without hesitation,
34:34Julian threw the sharp blade back,
34:37piercing Gathen's heart
34:38with precision.
34:42By the time the blood moon pack arrived,
34:45Gareth's body had already cooled.
34:48His wide, terrified eyes
34:50remained frozen
34:51in a look of permanent fear
34:53and regret.
34:54After all of this,
34:56Mrs. Vivian,
34:57heartbroken,
34:58disbanded the blood moon pack.
34:59She handed the management
35:01of the territory
35:01over to the werewolf council
35:03and exiled herself
35:04to the remote Alaskan wilds
35:06to live out
35:06her remaining years.
35:11Julian took over
35:12the blood moon pack's territory
35:14with relentless efficiency.
35:16The shadow pack rose
35:17to become the most powerful
35:19supernatural force
35:20on the east coast.
35:27Months later,
35:29on a night
35:29when the moon shone brightest,
35:31Julian held a bonding ceremony
35:33for me.
35:34One that made waves
35:35across the entire
35:36North American
35:37supernatural community.
35:41In our past life,
35:43Gareth had looked down
35:44on my bloodline,
35:46refusing to even give me
35:47a simple wedding.
35:48Everyone mocked me
35:49as nothing more
35:50than a blood bag.
35:56But in this life,
35:58I wore a custom-made
35:59wedding dress
36:00and,
36:00surrounded by the entire pack,
36:03accepted the eternal mark
36:04of loyalty
36:05from the strongest alpha.
36:07I became the Luna
36:08that every wolf pack
36:10girl dreamed of.
36:12Fireworks lit up
36:13the night sky.
36:14Julian gently cupped my face
36:16and placed a deep,
36:18loving kiss
36:19on my lips.
36:29life after marriage
36:30was peaceful
36:31and fulfilling.
36:34In the shadow pack,
36:35I was no longer
36:36the healing machine
36:37who could be sacrificed
36:38at any moment
36:40to have my blood
36:40drained on the altar.
36:44Julian built a supernatural
36:46medical center
36:47inside the fortress
36:48just for me.
36:53Here,
36:54I didn't have to cut
36:55open veins anymore.
36:56Instead,
36:57I used the ancient knowledge
36:59of the Vance family,
37:00combined with modern medicine,
37:02to teach young werewolf
37:04physicians
37:04how to prepare herbs
37:06and treat wounds.
37:08I earned the genuine admiration
37:10of the entire pack.
37:11This respect wasn't
37:13because I was an alpha's accessory,
37:15but because I was
37:16a Laura Vance.
37:24Every afternoon,
37:26the terrifying top-tier alpha
37:28who made the entire
37:29East Coast tremble
37:30would walk through the doors
37:32of the medical center
37:33without fail.
37:36He ignored the guards'
37:37awe-filled gazes
37:38as he carried the specially prepared
37:40nutritious lunch
37:41from the kitchen,
37:42heading straight
37:43to my office.
37:45Julian,
37:46you keep skipping
37:46your alpha duties
37:47and running off
37:48to the medical room.
37:49Marcus is going to pull
37:51all his hair out
37:52over the piles
37:52of paperwork.
37:54I teased,
37:55laughing as I took
37:56off my lab coat.
37:58Julian raised
37:59an eyebrow indifferently,
38:00stroding over
38:01to pull me into his arms,
38:02planting a gentle kiss
38:03on my lips.
38:05Let him suffer.
38:06If an alpha
38:07can't even make sure
38:08his mate eats lunch
38:09on time.
38:10He shouldn't be the leader
38:11of the shadow pack.
38:12As night fell
38:14and a full moon
38:14hung over the redwood forest,
38:16it marked our favorite
38:17time of the day.
38:18With two long
38:19and loud howls,
38:21we shifted
38:21under the moonlight.
38:23A massive dire wolf
38:24and a small
38:25snow-white wolf
38:26ran side by side
38:27through the redwood forest.
38:29We played
38:30by a moonlit stream,
38:31where he always
38:32slowed down on purpose
38:33to let me catch up,
38:35then gently knocked me
38:36onto a large rock,
38:37nuzzling my cheek
38:38with his wet nose
38:39in affectionate play.
38:41When we shifted back
38:43into human form
38:44at the edge of a cliff,
38:45the sharp night air
38:46brushed past us.
38:48Julian walked up
38:49behind me,
38:50wrapping his large
38:51dark coat around me
38:52to shield me
38:52from the cold.
38:53Allura, look.
38:55His long fingers
38:56pointed to
38:57Silver Pine Valley
38:58below us,
38:59his voice low
39:00and solemn.
39:01No betrayal,
39:02no conspiracy.
39:03This is our territory,
39:05our home.
39:05I took his hand
39:07that was wrapped
39:08around my waist,
39:09gently stroking
39:10the moonstone
39:11wedding ring
39:12on his finger.
39:14Yes, Julian.
39:15I leaned against
39:16his chest,
39:17gazing at the starry sky
39:18in the distance,
39:19the happiest smile
39:20spreading across my face.
39:23Our future,
39:24it's just beginning.
39:27Thank you for listening.
39:29For now,
