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.
00:35My 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,
00:54Whoever heals Gareth will become the future Luna of the pack.
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,
01:06fell into despair and ultimately died 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 fated 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 Lila.
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.
01:54This 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, mocking him.
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.
02:48Don'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, tightly embracing the man gasping for breath
03:18in 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!
03:35How can you be so cold-hearted and vicious?
03:39Gareth is the heir to the Blood Moon Pack.
03:42You watched him die and did nothing to help.
03:45You're not worthy of the healer bloodline.
03:51I sneered.
03:53Since you're so concerned about your alpha, why don't you use that great hedge witch magic of yours to save
03:59him?
04:00Don't come here shouting at me.
04:02I'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?
04:26She thinks she can cure the nerve damage caused by advanced wolf poison?
04:30That's pure fantasy.
04:33Is that so?
04:34If you really had a solution, he wouldn't be coughing like he's about to cough up his lungs.
04:41Serena straightened up, lifting her chin defiantly.
04:45Don't believe me?
04:47Then let's make a bet.
04:49If I heal Garry, I want you kneeling in front of the Blood Moon Manor, apologizing and begging for mercy.
05:03A bet?
05:04I shook my head without hesitation.
05:06I refuse.
05:07Before Serena could show her mocking face, I adjusted the hem of my coat and spoke calmly.
05:12There's no need for a bet.
05:14With your amateur tricks, Gareth's only fate in this life is to sit comfortably in 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.
05:47Shadowcrest Fortress.
05:50In my previous life, poisoned, 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,
06:03perished 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.
06:40Two werewolves blocked my path.
06:43Stop!
06:44This is Shadow Territory.
06:46No outsiders are allowed near.
06:49I'm Allura Vance.
06:50I've come to save your leader.
06:51I 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, came from the wall.
07:27Lord Marcus.
07:28The physician shook his head in despair.
07:31The 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 hall, sharp and sudden.
07:46Instantly, all conversation ceased.
07:49On the massive bed, Julian lay with his eyes shut tight.
07:53His complexions 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.
08:44For 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.
08:57Their king was silently coming back to life.
09:00One month later, an 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 blackwood iron chair, with Serena perched
09:23on 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, kept alive only by machines.
09:46Several elder wolves around us erupted into loud, mocking laughter.
09:51Gareth raised an eyebrow dismissively.
09:53Allura, 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?
10:15Serena 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.
10:43He 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.
10:55Praise the goddess! Miss Locke's potion really has such miraculous effects!
10:59Another exclaimed.
11:01Serena strutted up to me, her eyes filled with arrogance.
11:06Did you see that, Allura?
11:07This is the power I brought to Gareth.
11:10She 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.
12:11At 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.
12:34Can't you smell that?
12:36It'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, Gareth'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 Shadowhuck's fortress.
13:08He'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.
13:24I said, unwavering, staring directly into Gareth's eyes.
13:29A smile playing at the corner of my lips.
13:32And you, Gareth?
13:33You can't seriously believe that a bowl of mysterious black liquid can defy the laws of nature and instantly cure
13:39nerve damage, can you?
13:41I pointed at his neck.
13:42Go take a look in the mirror.
13:44Look at the veins in your neck.
13:45That's not healthy blood color, that's the black line of toxins flowing backwards.
13:50What you drank wasn't some miraculous potion.
13:52It'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.
14:03Gareth's breathing grew heavier.
14:05He touched his neck, sneering.
14:08You're just spouting nonsense!
14:10You 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.
14:20I swirled the champagne in my glass.
14:22Enjoy your last moment standing.
14:25Feel that surge of adrenaline giving you false strength.
14:28When the backlash of the drug bursts through your veins,
14:31you'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!
14:52My legs!
14:54Why can't I feel my legs?
14:56Gareth crashed to the floor.
14:58The more he struggled, the stronger the putrid stench became,
15:02with pus seeping from his suit pants,
15:05staining the floor with a disgusting foul mark.
15:08Gareth!
15:09Gareth!
15:10This can't be- this can't be happening!
15:12Serena screamed in horror.
15:15She frantically waved her hands,
15:18trying to cast a healing spell with her Hedge Witch magic.
15:21But 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,
15:37then gently set the glass down and clapped my hands together.
15:43Now that the Blood Moon Pack so-called miracle is over,
15:46it's time to show you what real healing looks like.
15:49With a sharp click, the double doors at the end of the hall were kicked open.
15:54Amid the gasps of the crowd,
15:56a tall, powerful figure stepped into the room,
15:59silhouetted against the light.
16:00Julian?
16:02Julian Blackwood?
16:03The entire room erupted in shock.
16:05Julian's muscles were firm and strong,
16:08and the oppressive presence of a top-tier alpha
16:11made even some of the elders in the room struggle to breathe.
16:16Julian walked through the crowd without acknowledging anyone.
16:20Heading straight to my side,
16:22he placed his hand on my shoulder.
16:25He leaned down slightly.
16:28Sorry, Allura.
16:29It took a bit longer to deal with those traitors in the shadow pack.
16:32I'm late.
16:34He turned his head,
16:35his piercing gaze landing on Serena,
16:38who was pale and trembling,
16:39and a sneer curled at the corner of his lips.
16:42I couldn't help but overhear.
16:44Someone was questioning Allura's medical skills.
16:47Julian took my hand
16:48and gently traced the pad of his finger over my palm.
16:52Allura, thank you.
16:57You gave me a second life.
16:59Not only did you cure the wolf poison in my body,
17:02but you also reshaped my bloodline.
17:04Gareth stared at Julian's legs,
17:06his blood-blackened mouth oozing more poison
17:09before his eyes rolled back,
17:11and he collapsed unconscious.
17:14Serena, now lying on the ground,
17:16couldn't even summon the courage to look at Julian.
17:19After that disastrous full moon celebration,
17:22Gareth's messenger almost wore out the door to my apartment.
17:26From threats and bribes
17:27to boxes of blood moon-packed magical potions
17:30and territorial contracts,
17:32he even sent a handwritten letter of apology.
17:35I didn't even bother opening the envelope.
17:37I had Marcus throw the garbage straight into the fireplace.
17:41That evening, I drove alone,
17:43heading to meet Julian for dinner.
17:45However, as I pulled into the driveway,
17:47two cars suddenly emerged from the shadows
17:50and blocked my path.
17:53The doors opened,
17:55and several blood moon wolves,
17:57their faces ashen, stepped out.
18:00With their heads bowed,
18:01they lifted a black metal wheelchair from the back seat.
18:05Gareth Thorne,
18:06the once unstoppable top-tier alpha,
18:09was slumped in the wheelchair,
18:11his condition a mere shadow of his former self.
18:14I stepped out of the car
18:16and surveyed the man before me with cold eyes.
18:19His long legs were completely severed from the thighs.
18:22His face had withered,
18:24his eyes sunken,
18:25and there was no trace left of the former alpha's strength.
18:29Elora.
18:30The moment he saw me,
18:32Gareth's clouded eyes flashed with a crazed light.
18:36He desperately twisted the metal wheels of the chair to roll closer to me,
18:40but his forceful movements almost caused him to topple over.
18:44You're finally willing to see me.
18:46I knew you wouldn't be so heartless.
18:49I took a step back,
18:50avoiding his dirty hand as it reached for the hem of my coat.
18:54Gareth, are you insane?
18:55For a moment,
18:56Gareth's expression twisted,
18:58but he swallowed his emotions and tilted his head back,
19:02pleading with an utterly humbling posture.
19:04No, no, no!
19:06I'm here to apologize!
19:08Elora, please!
19:09Save me!
19:10His voice was frantic as he clutched the cold metal armrest.
19:15My amputated wounds are still rotting,
19:18and no ordinary doctor can stop the spread of the dark magic toxins.
19:24Only you,
19:25only your healing blood can save me,
19:28can make my legs grow back!
19:30If you heal me,
19:31everything 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,
19:45it seems that the wolf poison from the Black Market
19:47not only corroded your body,
19:49but also fried your brain.
19:51I looked down at him coldly,
19:52Healing blood isn't a wish-granting pool,
19:55and I don't have the power to create something from nothing.
19:59You should go beg your true love,
20:01not block my path here.
20:03She's not a true love!
20:04She's a complete fraud!
20:06A scoundrel who belongs in hell!
20:09Gareth suddenly let out a heart-ranking scream,
20:11and with a violent gesture,
20:13he shouted at the guards behind him.
20:14Drag that woman here!
20:16Let Elora see my sincerity!
20:20With the sound of heavy chains dragging,
20:24a blooded woman was pulled from the trunk by two tall wolves,
20:28and thrown onto the gravel-covered asphalt with a harsh thud.
20:32It was Serena.
20:34Her red dress was torn into ragged strips,
20:37and her exposed skin was covered in brutal burns and claw marks.
20:40She lay there, barely alive,
20:43only able to gasp for breath,
20:45too weak even to scream.
20:47Do you see, Elora?
20:49Gareth pointed at Serena,
20:52his face contorted with hatred.
20:55This is all because of this vicious liar!
20:59She bought the poison from the black market!
21:02She blinded me with her lies!
21:05I was deceived by her,
21:08and that's why I did those terrible things to you!
21:14Gareth even struggled to lean forward in the chair,
21:17grabbing Serena's hair with difficulty.
21:20I've figured it out!
21:21She doesn't make healing potions!
21:24She's been trading poison
21:26through her hedge-witch connections on the black market!
21:29She destroyed my pride
21:31and almost ruined our relationship!
21:36Gareth looked at me desperately.
21:38I've already punished her for you.
21:40I've broken her bones, piece by piece.
21:43Just say the word,
21:45and I'll snap her neck myself,
21:47myself to avenge you.
21:49Elora, forgive me, please.
21:51If you heal me, we can start over.
21:53Gareth,
21:54do you really think that by shifting all the blame
21:57onto a woman you've tortured into this state?
22:00You can wash away your own stupidity and cowardness?
22:04I looked at him coldly,
22:06my eyes filled with contempt.
22:08Gareth froze,
22:09opening 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,
22:21it was your own pathetic arrogance and pride
22:23that blinded you.
22:24You chose to believe her
22:26not because of some so-called love,
22:27but because you arrogantly believed
22:29that 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,
22:40looking down at the man
22:42who once stood as the world's strongest alpha.
22:44Each word I spoke was a sentence to his fate.
22:49Listen closely, Thorne.
22:50Even 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,
23:06I didn't spare him another glance.
23:08I ignored the feeble Serena on the ground
23:11and turned without condition
23:12to get into my car.
23:14No!
23:15Elora!
23:16You can't just leave!
23:17Come back!
23:20The roar of the engine drowned out
23:23Gareth'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
23:32by the side of the road.
23:34I pressed the accelerator,
23:37leaving his desperate cries far behind.
23:40Half an hour later,
23:41my car came to a stop
23:43at the edge of a redwood forest criff
23:45in Silverpine Valley.
23:47There,
23:47Julian Blackwood had been waiting for some time.
23:50He had set up a candle-lit dinner,
23:52even lighting a bonfire nearby
23:54to 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
24:09made him frown slightly.
24:11You carry the stench
24:13of the blood moon pack
24:14and an overwhelming sense of despair.
24:17Julian said
24:18as he quickly walked over,
24:20pulling me into his embraces
24:22with a protective fierceness.
24:24His eyes hardened in anger.
24:27Did Gareth,
24:28that useless fool,
24:29bother you?
24:30I'll have Marcus
24:31take his head off right now.
24:34No need to dirty
24:35the shadow pack's hands.
24:37I leaned against his broad,
24:39warm chest,
24:40feeling the strength
24:41of his heartbeat.
24:42My tightly wound nerves
24:44finally began to relax.
24:46I looked up at him
24:47and gave a small smile.
24:49He's just garbage,
24:50already consumed by the abyss.
24:53Every second he lives
24:54is torture,
24:55and for him,
24:56death would be a relief.
24:59Julian looked down at me,
25:00his fingers gently brushing
25:02a strand of hair from my face
25:03as he whispered,
25:04As long as you're okay,
25:06I won't allow anyone
25:07to make you suffer again.
25:09In the months that followed,
25:11Julian and I grew even closer.
25:13With the blood moon pack
25:14no longer interfering,
25:16the shadow pack
25:17under Julian's leadership
25:18rapidly expanded
25:20and became the undisputed ruler
25:21of the East Coast.
25:22And he,
25:23the iron-fisted leader
25:25who struck fear
25:26into the supernatural world,
25:27always put aside
25:28his sharp edge
25:29in front of me,
25:30showing me only
25:31his softest tenderness
25:33and affection.
25:34That was until
25:35the first snow
25:36of early winter
25:37fell in Silver Pine Valley.
25:39We stood at the top
25:40of Shadowcrest Fortress,
25:42overlooking
25:43the vast territory below.
25:45Julian suddenly
25:46wrapped his arms
25:47tightly around me
25:48from behind,
25:49resting his chin
25:50lightly on my neck.
25:51His alpha scent,
25:53mixed with the smell
25:54of fir trees,
25:55completely enveloped me.
25:57Allura.
25:58His voice was deep
25:59and smooth,
26:00tinged with a barely
26:01noticeable hint
26:02of nervousness.
26:03I was once a lone wolf,
26:05fighting in the darkness,
26:07thinking I would only
26:07ever be surrounded
26:08by blood and power.
26:09You took my life
26:11from the hands of death,
26:12and you,
26:13you gave this cold body
26:15a soul again.
26:19He gently turned me
26:20to face him,
26:21kneeling on one knee.
26:22From his coat pocket,
26:24he pulled out
26:24a moonstone antique ring.
26:26I don't need fangs
26:27and claws to conquer you.
26:28I offer you all my loyalty
26:30and my life.
26:31Julian looked at me
26:32with unwavering sincerity,
26:34his tone as solemn
26:35as a vow.
26:36Be my mate.
26:37Be the Luna of the Shadow Pack.
26:38Let me spend my life
26:39protecting you.
26:40Looking into the depth
26:41of his affection,
26:43warmth spread
26:43through my chest.
26:45The pain and betrayal
26:46of my past life
26:47were finally healed
26:48in this moment.
26:50I was moved to tears,
26:52just opening my mouth
26:53to say,
26:54I do.
26:56She doesn't want to!
27:00A scream rang out
27:02from the darkness.
27:04Several low-ranking wolves,
27:06pushing the heavy
27:07blackwood iron chair,
27:08came up the tower ramp.
27:10Gareth's eyes
27:11were bloodshot
27:12with madness
27:12as he locked
27:13his gaze onto me.
27:15Allura!
27:16You can't say yes to him!
27:18Just as the moonstone ring
27:19soft glow flickered,
27:20Gareth's pupils
27:21suddenly 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
27:32by that bitch Serena!
27:33I know now
27:34you are my true
27:35fated mate!
27:36Please,
27:36come back to me!
27:37I stared at him
27:39in disbelief.
27:40I couldn't believe it.
27:41When he touched
27:42the moonstone ring,
27:44blessed by the moon goddess,
27:45Gareth was forced
27:46to awaken
27:47the memories
27:48of our past life.
27:49This was the moon goddess's
27:51cruelest punishment.
27:53Not only had she
27:54let Gareth's body rot,
27:56but she also forced him
27:57to relive every moment
27:59of how he had
27:59tormented me
28:00in the past life,
28:01only to lose
28:02everything in the end.
28:06Julian immediately
28:07stepped in front of me,
28:09his massive alpha aura
28:10bursting forth,
28:11his eyes cold as steel.
28:13Gareth,
28:14are you completely
28:14out of your mind?
28:15You dare stir trouble
28:16in my territory?
28:18Today,
28:18I'll snap your neck
28:19for good.
28:19Gareth ignored everything,
28:21his eyes filled
28:22with a sickly,
28:23greedy gaze
28:24fixed on me.
28:25Allura,
28:26I know you've been
28:27reborn too.
28:28There's no way
28:29you would just stand by
28:30and watch me die
28:31in this life
28:31if 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 I fell in love
28:45with 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
28:55from behind Julian,
28:57looking at him
28:57with disgust.
28:58Gareth Thorne,
28:59what are you even dreaming about?
29:00This pitiful,
29:01abandoned state
29:02you're in right now?
29:03Doesn't it match
29:03exactly what you
29:04desperately chased
29:05in our past life?
29:06I've only made sure
29:06you're getting
29:07the end you deserve
29:08and stop using
29:09the 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
29:25metal wheels of the chair,
29:26but his weak arms
29:27couldn't control
29:28the 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.
29:43Please,
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,
30:13his 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,
30:27the completely unhinged Gareth
30:28used a black market transaction token
30:30he had secretly held onto,
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 moonlight 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.
30:55My 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.
31:03Gareth sat in the old iron chair
31:05holding a surgical knife
31:07that glinted coldly
31:08in the dim light.
31:08His 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
31:29as he slowly moved 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 in a basement
31:42where no one will find you.
31:45Just like in our past life,
31:47you'll only belong to me.
31:49As long as your blood drains 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
32:02keep your blood, children.
32:04I looked at the knife in his hand,
32:06a chill running down my spine,
32:09struggling desperately.
32:11Gareth, wake up!
32:13You're insane!
32:16The nerves in your legs are completely dead!
32:19Even if you drain my blood,
32:20you won't grow new legs.
32:25Healing magic doesn'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 immersed 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 the sharp knife,
32:43preparing to cut open my carotid artery,
32:46the heavy iron door of the slaughterhouse
32:49was kicked open with terrifying force.
32:54Julian in a half-wolf state
32:56leapt through the air.
32:58With one powerful kick,
32:59he sent Gareth in his chair flying,
33:02slamming into a brick wall on the other side.
33:08Allura!
33:09Seeing me chained with silver links,
33:11the murderless intent in Julia's eyes
33:13became almost tangible.
33:14He tore the chains apart with his bare hands
33:17and pulled my weakened body tightly 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 any longer
33:38and broke down,
33:39sobbing uncontrollably.
33:43Gareth lay in a pool of his own blood,
33:45watching us embrace.
33:47A wild, desperate,
33:48and jealous scream tore from his throat.
33:53Somehow,
33:54he found the strength.
33:56While Julian had his backs turned comfortingly,
34:00Gatha used the last of his strength
34:01to hurl the silver poison knife
34:03at Julian's back.
34:05Julian grunt,
34:06his sharp alpha instincts kicking in.
34:08He swiftly sidestepped,
34:10catching the flying blade with ease.
34:15off balance from his own force,
34:18Gathrath desperately fell into 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,
34:35Julian threw the sharp blade back,
34:37piercing Gathen's heart with precision.
34:42By the time the blood moon pack arrived,
34:45Gareth's body had already cooled.
34:47His wide,
34:49terrified eyes
34:50remained frozen
34:51in a look of permanent fear and regret.
34:54After all of this,
34:56Mrs. Vivian,
34:57heartbroken,
34:58disbanded the blood moon pack.
34:59She handed the management of the territory
35:01over to the werewolf council
35:03and exiled herself
35:04to the remote Alaskan wilds
35:06to live out her remaining years.
35:11Julian took over the blood moon pack's territory
35:14with relentless efficiency.
35:16The shadow pack rose to become
35:18the most powerful supernatural force
35:20on the east coast.
35:27Months later,
35:29on a night when the moon shone brightest,
35:31Julian held a bonding ceremony for me.
35:34One that made waves
35:35across the entire
35:36North American supernatural community.
35:41In our past life,
35:43Gareth had looked down on my bloodline,
35:45refusing to even give me a simple wedding.
35:48Everyone mocked me
35:49as nothing more than a blood bag.
35:56But in this life,
35:58I wore a custom-made wedding dress
36:00and,
36:00surrounded by the entire pack,
36:03accepted the eternal mark of loyalty
36:05from the strongest alpha.
36:07I became the Luna
36:08that every wolf pack girl dreamed of.
36:12Fireworks lit up the night sky.
36:14Julian gently cupped my face
36:16and placed a deep,
36:18loving kiss on my lips.
36:29Life after marriage
36:30was peaceful and fulfilling.
36:33In the shadow pack,
36:35I was no longer the healing machine
36:37who could be sacrificed at any moment
36:39to have my blood drained on the altar.
36:44Julian built a supernatural medical center
36:47inside the fortress just for me.
36:53Here,
36:54I didn't have to cut open 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 physicians
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 because
37:13I was an alpha's accessory,
37:15but because I was a Laura Vance.
37:24Every afternoon,
37:26the terrifying top-tier alpha
37:28who made the entire East Coast tremble
37:30would walk through the doors
37:32of the medical center without fail.
37:36He ignored the guard's awe-filled gazes
37:38as he carried the specially prepared
37:40nutritious lunch from the kitchen
37:42heading straight to my office.
37:45Julian,
37:46you keep skipping your alpha duties
37:47and running off to the medical room.
37:49Marcus is going to pull all his hair out
37:51over the piles of paperwork.
37:54I teased,
37:55laughing as I took off my lab coat.
37:58Julian raised an eyebrow indifferently,
38:00stroding over to pull me into his arms,
38:02planting a gentle kiss on my lips.
38:05Let him suffer.
38:06If an alpha can't even make sure
38:08his mate eats lunch on time,
38:10he shouldn't be the leader of the shadow pack.
38:12As night fell
38:14and a full moon
38:14hung over the redwood forest,
38:16it marked our favorite time of the day.
38:18With two long and loud howls,
38:21we shifted under the moonlight.
38:23A massive dire wolf
38:24and a small snow-white wolf
38:26ran side by side
38:27through the redwood forest.
38:29We played by a moonlit stream,
38:31where he always slowed down on purpose
38:33to let me catch up,
38:35then gently knocked me onto a large rock,
38:37nuzzling my cheek with his wet nose
38:39in affectionate play.
38:41When we shifted back into human form
38:44at the edge of a cliff,
38:45the sharp night air brushed past us.
38:48Julian walked up behind me,
38:50wrapping his large, dark coat around me
38:52to shield me from the cold.
38:54Elora, look.
38:55His long fingers pointed
38:57to Silver Pine Valley below us,
38:59his voice low and solemn.
39:01No betrayal.
39:02No conspiracy.
39:03This is our territory.
39:05Our home.
39:06I took his hand
39:07that was wrapped around my waist,
39:09gently stroking
39:10the moonstone wedding ring
39:12on his finger.
39:14Yes, Julian.
39:15I leaned against his chest,
39:17gazing at the starry sky
39:18in the distance,
39:19the happiest smile
39:20spreading across my face.
39:22Our future.
39:24It's just beginning.
