00:00:10To be continued...

00:00:30But my biological mother, Hera, the most revered High Priestess of the Temple of Light, publicly declared,

00:00:38Last night, she seduced Karen, the Shadow Pletha Clan's holy knight, and her sister Elena's fiancée.

00:00:45The crowd instantly erupted.

00:00:47I knew those silver eyes were filthy.

00:00:50She actually dared to betray the Alpha King?

00:00:53Drive her out of the Silvermoon pack!

00:00:55A chill spread through my entire body as I stared at my mother.

00:01:02What are you talking about?

00:01:04Last night, she had personally handed me a cup of blessed potion.

00:01:09She had smiled and said,

00:01:10Drink this, and the Moon Goddess will bless you and Ryan with a bond that can never be broken.

00:01:16But when I woke up, the man lying beside me wasn't Ryan.

00:01:20It was at Karen.

00:01:22Both of us had been drugged.

00:01:23I wanted to explain, but Karen had already thrown on his cloak.

00:01:26His eyes were filled with nothing but disgust.

00:01:30Selina, I've never met a woman as shameless as you.

00:01:32You'd even go after your own sister's fiancée!

00:01:34Then Karen staggered backward until he reached Elena's side.

00:01:38His eyes were red as he looked at her.

00:01:40I've been tainted.

00:01:43You're so pure.

00:01:46I no longer deserve to marry you.

00:01:48Below the altar, Ryan stood motionless.

00:01:51He had once told me that even if the entire world despised my silver eyes,

00:01:55he would still marry me.

00:01:58But now, the way he looked at me was no different from looking at something filthy.

00:02:04I rushed down from the altar and grabbed his hand.

00:02:08Ryan, someone set me up.

00:02:09There was something wrong with that potion.

00:02:11It was Mother!

00:02:12Enough!

00:02:14He shook me off, his voice horsey.

00:02:18Selina and I used to think you were just unlucky.

00:02:21Now I realize you genuinely disgust me.

00:02:28I froze where I stood.

00:02:32Elena burst into tears and buried herself in our Mother's arms.

00:02:35She had a pair of noble golden eyes.

00:02:38Pale, delicate, and fragile.

00:02:40She looked like the most innocent, sainty continent.

00:02:43Sister, I know you've always been jealous of me, but Karen is my fiancée.

00:02:47My mother gently wiped away her tears before walking over to me.

00:02:50Then, with her own hands, she removed the silver moon crest pinned to my chest.

00:02:54It was the symbol of a wolf bride's status.

00:02:56And in all fifteen years of my life,

00:02:58it was the only thing that had ever truly acknowledged my existence.

00:03:01I stared at her.

00:03:03Why?

00:03:03She leaned close to my ear, her voice so low that only I could hear it.

00:03:08Because Elena is far more suitable to be Luna.

00:03:12She has golden eyes.

00:03:14You're nothing but a stain.

00:03:18In that moment, I finally understood.

00:03:21This wasn't an accident.

00:03:23It wasn't a misunderstanding.

00:03:24It was a trap they had prepared long ago.

00:03:27That moment, Elena suddenly wiped away her tears and stepped forward.

00:03:30The position of Luna of the silver moon wolf pack cannot remain vacant.

00:03:34It would only make us the laughingstock of everyone.

00:03:36Since my sister committed such a disgraceful offense,

00:03:38let me atone for her sins in her place.

00:03:40Ryan, if you're willing,

00:03:42I can complete this blood oath in my sister's stead.

00:03:44Ryan turned around and placed the blood crown,

00:03:47the symbol of the queen,

00:03:49upon Elena's head.

00:03:50The entire hall erupted in cheers.

00:03:53My sister wore my wedding gown,

00:03:55held my Grimm's hand,

00:03:57and stood in the place that should have been mine.

00:03:59And I was publicly sentenced by my own mother.

00:04:02At Selena, silver eyes has defiled the blood oath.

00:04:04Strip her of the wolf crest and exiled her to the forbidden rift.

00:04:07She shall never return.

00:04:08As the temple knights dragged me down from the altar,

00:04:10Elena glanced at me,

00:04:11tears still lingued on her face.

00:04:12But the corners of her lips slowly curled forward.

00:04:17Fifteen years later,

00:04:18at the inheritance bankry of the Sacred Dominion Conforge,

00:04:21navels and power holders from all twelve clans gathered withneath one roof.

00:04:24They knelt before my dragonbone throne,

00:04:26competing to present moon tear crystal mines,

00:04:28territorial deeds,

00:04:29and bloodline oves as tribute.

00:04:31None of them knew that the Empress of the Sacred Dominion,

00:04:34the woman who controlled eighty percent of the continent's moon-tier crystal mines,

00:04:40was the same silver-eyed outcast they had once trampled into the mud.

00:04:45Until my adopted son,

00:04:48Kyaris,

00:04:49walked into the Grand Hall holding a young woman's hand.

00:04:52She wore a silver-white formal gown.

00:04:54Her golden eyes shunned brightly,

00:04:56and pride radiated from her face.

00:04:59Her name was Ivy,

00:05:01Elena's daughter,

00:05:02and she bore the exact same face her mother had fifteen years ago.

00:05:05Kyio stopped before me,

00:05:06his tone unwavering.

00:05:07Mother,

00:05:08Ivy will become my blood oath mate.

00:05:10If you approve,

00:05:11we'll announce our engagement tonight.

00:05:12Every guest in the hall held their breath.

00:05:15Ivy lifted her chin slightly,

00:05:17waiting for me to bestow that honor upon her.

00:05:19She was the golden-eyed St. Chris of the Silvermoon Wolfpack,

00:05:23Ryan's most cherished daughter and Hera's favorite granddaughter.

00:05:26She was used to people lowering their heads the moment they saw her,

00:05:30but she had forgotten one thing.

00:05:31This was not the Silvermoon Wolfpack.

00:05:34This was the sacred dominion conformed.

00:05:36This was the throne I had clawed my way towards for fifteen years,

00:05:40inch by inch,

00:05:42through the bones and corpses of the Forbidden Rift.

00:05:45I looked at that face and remembered the wedding gown that had been torn apart fifteen years ago.

00:05:50I remembered the poison my mother had handed me.

00:05:52I remembered the cold look in Ryan's eyes.

00:05:55Then I set down my wine glass.

00:05:56The bass struck the dragonbone armrest.

00:05:58The sound was not loud,

00:06:00yet the entire hall fell silence in an instant.

00:06:02I do not approve.

00:06:04I said,

00:06:04Kyros froze.

00:06:05Mother?

00:06:06The smile on Ivy's face stiffened.

00:06:08I raised my eyes to her.

00:06:10You will never become the mate of the sacred dominion's heir,

00:06:12not in this lifetime.

00:06:13The crowd instantly exploded into an uproar.

00:06:17Ivy's eyes reddened at once.

00:06:19Why?

00:06:19What makes me unworthy?

00:06:22I looked at her and smiled.

00:06:24Because the thing your mother stole fifteen years ago

00:06:27is finally going to be returned today.

00:06:31Ivy's face went completely pale.

00:06:34Kyos stepped in front of her,

00:06:35his brows drawn tightly together.

00:06:37Mother,

00:06:38Ivy didn't do anything wrong.

00:06:39The grudges of the previous generation shouldn't fall on her shoulders.

00:06:42I looked at him.

00:06:44Do you even know what happened fifteen years ago?

00:06:46Ivy spoke before he-

00:06:48My mother told me everything!

00:06:49Fifteen years ago,

00:06:50you betrayed Alpha King Ryan

00:06:52and seduced Karen,

00:06:53my mother's fiancée.

00:06:54You were exiled because you committed a crime!

00:06:56She bit her lip,

00:06:57looking as though I were the one bullying her.

00:06:59But my mother always defended you.

00:07:01She said you were just too jealous of her.

00:07:04Muted whispers spread throughout the hall.

00:07:06Some of the older nobles lowered their heads.

00:07:10Back then,

00:07:10they had all stood with you at the moon goddess's altar.

00:07:13They had watched my wedding gown in green torn apart,

00:07:15and they had watched Elena put on my bridal dress.

00:07:18They knew about that scant,

00:07:19but they had never cared about the truth,

00:07:21because the stories written by the victors

00:07:23were always clean and respectable.

00:07:25Before I could speak,

00:07:26the doors of the hall were suddenly pushed open.

00:07:28Ivy wasn't wrong.

00:07:29Everyone turned around.

00:07:31Elena had arrived.

00:07:32Fifteen years had passed,

00:07:33yet she was still breathtakingly beautiful

00:07:35in that fragile way of hers.

00:07:37Her golden hair was pinned up behind her head,

00:07:39and the royal crest of the silver moon wolf Pax Luna

00:07:41was embroidered on her white cloak.

00:07:43Behind her stood Alpha King Ryan,

00:07:45and Karen,

00:07:45the holy knight of the shadow leopard clan.

00:07:47Every person who had destroyed my life fifteen years ago

00:07:50had finally appeared before me once again.

00:07:53Elena's eyes stiffened for a sudden second

00:07:55the moment she saw me.

00:07:56Sister,

00:07:58I never imagined the Empress of the Sacred Dominion

00:08:01would turn out to be you.

00:08:03She called me sister,

00:08:05but her tone sounded more like a reminder

00:08:08to everyone present

00:08:09that I had once been nothing more

00:08:11than the filthy, silver-eyed outcast

00:08:13of the silver moon wolf pack.

00:08:16Caius frowned.

00:08:17Mother,

00:08:18you know them?

00:08:19I didn't answer.

00:08:21Ryan stepped forward.

00:08:22He still carried the same arrogance of an Alpha King,

00:08:25though the sharpness in his golden eyes

00:08:27was no longer what it had been.

00:08:29He looked at me and remained silent for a long moment.

00:08:34Selina.

00:08:38Hearing that name come from his lips

00:08:39almost made me laugh.

00:08:42Fifteen years ago,

00:08:43he had used that name

00:08:43when he told me he loved me.

00:08:45Later,

00:08:46he had used the same voice

00:08:47to say that I disgusted him.

00:08:48And now he wanted to use that name again,

00:08:50pretending there were still

00:08:51unresolved feelings between us.

00:08:53I spoke calmly.

00:08:55Your Majesty,

00:08:56this is a private banquet

00:08:57of the Sacred Domainian Consortium.

00:09:00You were not invited.

00:09:08Sister,

00:09:08if you're angry with me,

00:09:10then take it out on me.

00:09:12Why make things difficult for Ivy?

00:09:15Ivy,

00:09:15she simply fell in love with Caius.

00:09:18How interesting.

00:09:20I looked at her.

00:09:22Fifteen years ago,

00:09:23you also claimed that you had simply fallen in love with Ryan.

00:09:27Karen suddenly spoke,

00:09:29his voice called,

00:09:30Selina,

00:09:31what happened back then is already in the past.

00:09:33I turned to him.

00:09:35Of course it is.

00:09:36For you.

00:09:37After you woke up,

00:09:38all you had to do was call me shameless.

00:09:41But I had to spend fifteen years in the Forbibbon Rift,

00:09:44carrying the crime you all forced onto me.

00:09:47Karen's throat bobbed.

00:09:48There was something complicated in his eyes.

00:09:51Pain,

00:09:51conflict,

00:09:52and a belated trace of doubt.

00:09:54But I didn't need it.

00:09:55Belated doubt was just like belated love.

00:09:58Both were worthless.

00:10:00Ryan took a deep breath.

00:10:02We didn't come here today to dig up the past.

00:10:05Ivy and Caius love each other.

00:10:07An alliance between our two clans

00:10:09would benefit the Sacred Dimension as well.

00:10:12Selina,

00:10:13don't let personal grudges interfere with the bigger picture.

00:10:16I gently set down my wine glass.

00:10:18You're lecturing me about the bigger picture?

00:10:20Ryan frowned.

00:10:21I lifted a hand,

00:10:22and the attendant behind me

00:10:24unfurled a black and gold contract scroll.

00:10:26It was covered with the markings of moon-tier crystal veins.

00:10:30My voice wasn't loud.

00:10:31Everyone heard it clearly.

00:10:33The Sacred Dominion Commodum

00:10:34controls 80% of the continent's moon-tier crystal mines.

00:10:37Last year,

00:10:3870% of the silver moon wolf pack's military supplies,

00:10:41potions,

00:10:41and room array maintenance

00:10:42came from Sacred Dominion resources.

00:10:46Ryan,

00:10:47you're standing on my territory,

00:10:49living off my mines,

00:10:51and still expecting me to prioritize your bigger picture.

00:11:00Ryan's expression instantly darted.

00:11:03For the first time,

00:11:04panic flashed Kostot Ivy's face.

00:11:06She grabbed Kaios' hand.

00:11:08Kaios,

00:11:09say something!

00:11:10Mother,

00:11:10do you really have to do this?

00:11:12Kairos looked at me,

00:11:13and for the first time,

00:11:14there was anger in his eyes.

00:11:16Do what?

00:11:17I asked.

00:11:19Expose the truth in front of everyone?

00:11:22Or refuse to hand over the life's work I've built to my enemy's daughter?

00:11:26Kairos lowered his voice.

00:11:29Ivy isn't her mother.

00:11:31Neither are you me.

00:11:32You don't have the right to forgive them on my behalf.

00:11:35I fixed my gaze on him.

00:11:36The moment those words left my mouth,

00:11:38the last trace of hesitation vanished from Kairos' face.

00:11:41He took Ivy's hand and turned to face the guests.

00:11:43If Mother refuses to give us her blessing,

00:11:44then I'll make the announcement myself.

00:11:46I, Kairos,

00:11:47as the heir of the Sacred Dimangin,

00:11:48choose Ivy as my blood oath mate.

00:11:50From this night forward,

00:11:51anyone whom humiliates her becomes my enemy.

00:11:53The entire hall fell silent.

00:11:54A flash of triumph crossed Elena's eyes.

00:11:56Even Ryan slowly looked pleased.

00:11:57Kairos,

00:11:58I knew you wouldn't abandon me.

00:11:59Crying,

00:12:00Ivy threw herself into Kairos' arms.

00:12:02I watched them and suddenly felt tired.

00:12:04Not heartbroken.

00:12:05Just tired of it all.

00:12:07I raised my hand.

00:12:09Bring me the blood oath scroll.

00:12:11Hope lit up in at Kairos' eyes.

00:12:13Mother, you agree?

00:12:14I smiled.

00:12:16Of course.

00:12:17Before Ivy could even breathe a sigh of relief,

00:12:19I finished the sentence.

00:12:20I agree to sever the blood oath between us as mother and son.

00:12:24The smile on Kairos' face frozen.

00:12:26What did you say?

00:12:27An attendant brought over a black parchment scroll.

00:12:30It was no ordinary contract.

00:12:33Someone recognized it,

00:12:34their voice trembling.

00:12:38The soul-severation blood oath.

00:12:40Once it's signed,

00:12:41blood ties,

00:12:42inheritance rights,

00:12:42and family protection

00:12:43are all permanently cut off.

00:12:59On the day of my wedding,

00:13:01my mother tore my wedding gown apart

00:13:02in front of every noble present.

00:13:04Raising the moon goddess Seppler high,

00:13:06she brought it crashing down toward me,

00:13:09sending me sprawling across the ground.

00:13:12Selina is not worthy of becoming the new Alpha King's bride.

00:13:15A deathly silence fell over the hall.

00:13:17I was the rejected silver-eyed daughter of the Silvermoon Wolfpack.

00:13:20Today,

00:13:21as long as I completed the blood oath

00:13:23with the newly crowned Alpha King,

00:13:24Ryan,

00:13:25I would become his Luna,

00:13:26the queen of all werewolves.

00:13:27But my biological mother,

00:13:29Hera,

00:13:30the most revered high priestess

00:13:32of the Temple of Light,

00:13:33publicly declared,

00:13:35Last night,

00:13:36she seduced Karen,

00:13:38the Shadow Pletha clan's holy knight,

00:13:40and her sister Elena's fiancée.

00:13:42The crowd instantly erupted.

00:13:44I knew those silver eyes were filthy.

00:13:47She actually dared to betray the Alpha King?

00:13:50Drive her out of the Silvermoon Pack!

00:13:53A chill spread through my entire body

00:13:56as I stared at my mother.

00:13:59What are you talking about?

00:14:01Last night,

00:14:02she had personally handed me a cup of blessed potion.

00:14:06She had smiled and said,

00:14:07Drink this,

00:14:09and the moon goddess will bless you and Ryan

00:14:11with a bond that can never be broken.

00:14:14But when I woke up,

00:14:15the man lying beside me wasn't Ryan.

00:14:17It was at Karen.

00:14:19Both of us had been drugged.

00:14:20I wanted to explain,

00:14:21but Karen had already thrown on his cloak.

00:14:23His eyes were filled with nothing but disgust.

00:14:27Selina,

00:14:27I've never met a woman as shameless as you.

00:14:29You'd even go after your own sister's fiancée!

00:14:31Then Karen staggered backward

00:14:33until he reached Elena's side.

00:14:35His eyes were red as he looked at her.

00:14:38I've been tainted.

00:14:40You're so pure.

00:14:42I no longer deserve to marry you.

00:14:45Below the altar,

00:14:46Ryan stood motionless.

00:14:48He had once told me

00:14:49that even if the entire world

00:14:51despised my silver eyes,

00:14:52he would still marry me.

00:14:55But now,

00:14:56the way he looked at me

00:14:57was no different from looking at something filthy.

00:15:00I rushed down from the altar

00:15:02and grabbed his hand.

00:15:04Ryan,

00:15:05someone set me up.

00:15:06There was something wrong with that potion.

00:15:08It was Mother!

00:15:09Enough!

00:15:11He shook me off,

00:15:13his voice horsey.

00:15:15Selina and I used to think

00:15:16you were just unlucky.

00:15:18Now I realize

00:15:19you genuinely disgust me.

00:15:25I froze where I stood.

00:15:29Elena burst into tears

00:15:30and buried herself in our mother's arms.

00:15:32She had a pair of noble golden eyes.

00:15:35Pale,

00:15:35delicate,

00:15:36and fragile.

00:15:37She looked like the most innocent,

00:15:38sainty continent.

00:15:40Sister,

00:15:40I know you've always been jealous of me,

00:15:42but Karen is my fiancée.

00:15:44My mother gently wiped away her tears

00:15:46before walking over to me.

00:15:47Then,

00:15:47with her own hands,

00:15:49she removed the silver moon crest

00:15:50pinned to my chest.

00:15:51It was the symbol

00:15:52of a wolf bride's status.

00:15:53And in all fifteen years of my life,

00:15:55it was the only thing

00:15:56that had ever truly acknowledged my existence.

00:15:58I stared at her.

00:16:00Why?

00:16:00She leaned close to my ear,

00:16:02her voice so low

00:16:03that only I could hear it.

00:16:05Because Elena is far more suitable

00:16:07to be Luna.

00:16:09She has golden eyes.

00:16:11You're nothing but a stain.

00:16:14In that moment,

00:16:16I finally understood.

00:16:18This wasn't an accident.

00:16:20It wasn't a misunderstanding.

00:16:21It was a trap they had prepared long ago.

00:16:24That moment,

00:16:25Elena suddenly wiped away her tears

00:16:26and stepped forward.

00:16:27The position of Luna

00:16:28of the silver moon wolf pack

00:16:29cannot remain vacant.

00:16:30It would only make us

00:16:31the laughingstock of everyone.

00:16:33Since my sister committed

00:16:34such a disgraceful offense,

00:16:35let me atone for her sins

00:16:37in her place.

00:16:37Ryan,

00:16:38if you're willing,

00:16:39I can complete this blood oath

00:16:40in my sister's stead.

00:16:41Ryan turned around

00:16:43and placed the blood crown,

00:16:44the symbol of the queen,

00:16:46upon Elena's head.

00:16:47The entire hall

00:16:48erupted in cheers.

00:16:50My sister wore my wedding gown,

00:16:52held my Grimm's hand,

00:16:54and stood in the place

00:16:55that should have been mine.

00:16:56And I was publicly sentenced

00:16:58by my own mother.

00:16:59At Selena,

00:16:59silver eyes has defiled

00:17:00the blood oath,

00:17:01stripped her of the wolf crest

00:17:02and exiled her

00:17:03to the forbidden rift.

00:17:04She shall never return.

00:17:05As the temple knights

00:17:06dragged me down from the altar,

00:17:07Elena glanced at me,

00:17:08tears still lingued on her face,

00:17:09but the corners of her lips

00:17:10slowly curled forward.

00:17:14Fifteen years later,

00:17:15at the inheritance bankery

00:17:16of the sacred dominion Conforge,

00:17:18naples and power holders

00:17:19from all twelve clans

00:17:20gathered with neath one roof.

00:17:21They knelt before

00:17:22my dragon bone throne,

00:17:23competing to present

00:17:24moon tear crystal mines,

00:17:25territorial deeds,

00:17:26and bloodline oaths

00:17:27none of them knew

00:17:29that the empress

00:17:30of the sacred dominion,

00:17:32the woman who controlled

00:17:33eighty percent of the continent's

00:17:34moon tear crystal mines,

00:17:37was the same silver-eyed outcast

00:17:40they had once trampled

00:17:41into the mud.

00:17:43Until my adopted son,

00:17:45Kyaris,

00:17:46walked into the grand hall

00:17:47holding a young woman's hand.

00:17:49She wore a silver-white formal gown.

00:17:51Her golden eyes shunned brightly,

00:17:53and pride radiated from her face.

00:17:56Her name was Ivy,

00:17:58Elena's daughter,

00:17:59and she bore the exact same face

00:18:00her mother had fifteen years ago.

00:18:02Kaio stopped before me,

00:18:03his tone unwavering.

00:18:04Mother,

00:18:05Ivy will become my blood oath mate.

00:18:07If you approve,

00:18:07we'll announce our engagement tonight.

00:18:09Every guest in the hall

00:18:10held their breath.

00:18:12Ivy lifted her chin slightly,

00:18:14waiting for me to bestow

00:18:15that honor upon her.

00:18:16She was the golden-eyed

00:18:17Saint Chris of the

00:18:18Silvermoon Wolfpack,

00:18:20Ryan's most cherished daughter

00:18:21and Hera's favorite granddaughter.

00:18:23She was used to people

00:18:24lowering their heads

00:18:25the moment they saw her,

00:18:27but she had forgotten one thing.

00:18:28This was not the

00:18:29Silvermoon Wolfpack.

00:18:30This was the sacred

00:18:31dominion from Fortham.

00:18:33This was the throne

00:18:34I had clawed my way towards

00:18:36for fifteen years,

00:18:37inch by inch,

00:18:39through the bones and corpses

00:18:40of the Forbidden Rift.

00:18:42I looked at that face

00:18:43and remembered the wedding gown

00:18:44that had been torn apart

00:18:45fifteen years ago.

00:18:46I remembered the poison

00:18:48my mother had handed me.

00:18:49I remembered the cold look

00:18:50in Ryan's eyes.

00:18:52Then I set down

00:18:52my wine glass.

00:18:53The bass struck

00:18:54the dragonbone armrest.

00:18:55The sound was not loud,

00:18:57yet the entire hall

00:18:57fell silence in an instant.

00:18:59I do not approve.

00:19:01I said,

00:19:01Kairos froze.

00:19:03Mother?

00:19:03The smile on Ivy's face

00:19:05stiffened.

00:19:05I raised my eyes to her.

00:19:07You will never become

00:19:08the mate of the

00:19:08sacred dominion's heir,

00:19:09not in this lifetime.

00:19:10The crowd instantly

00:19:12exploded into an uproar.

00:19:13Ivy's eyes reddened

00:19:14at once.

00:19:16Why?

00:19:16What makes me unworthy?

00:19:19I looked at her

00:19:20and smiled.

00:19:21Because the thing

00:19:22your mother stole

00:19:23fifteen years ago

00:19:24is finally going

00:19:25to be returned today.

00:19:28Ivy's face

00:19:29went completely pale.

00:19:31Kairos stepped

00:19:31in front of her,

00:19:32his brows drawn

00:19:33tightly together.

00:19:34Mother,

00:19:35Ivy didn't do

00:19:36anything wrong.

00:19:36The grudges of

00:19:37the previous generation

00:19:38shouldn't fall

00:19:39on her shoulders.

00:19:39I looked at him.

00:19:41Do you even know

00:19:42what happened

00:19:42fifteen years ago?

00:19:43Ivy spoke before he-

00:19:45My mother told me

00:19:45everything.

00:19:46Fifteen years ago

00:19:47you betrayed

00:19:48Alpha King Ryan

00:19:49and seduced Karen,

00:19:50my mother's fiancée.

00:19:51You were exiled

00:19:51because you committed

00:19:52a crime.

00:19:53She bit her lip,

00:19:54looking as though

00:19:55I were the one

00:19:55bullying her.

00:19:56But my mother

00:19:57always defended you.

00:19:58She said you were

00:19:59just too jealous of her.

00:20:01Muted whispers

00:20:02spread throughout the hall.

00:20:03Some of the older

00:20:04nobles lowered their heads.

00:20:06Back then,

00:20:07they had all stood

00:20:08with you at the

00:20:08moon goddess's altar.

00:20:10They had watched

00:20:10my wedding gown

00:20:11in being torn apart,

00:20:12and they had watched

00:20:13Elena put on

00:20:13my bridal dress.

00:20:14They knew about

00:20:15that scant,

00:20:16but they had never

00:20:17cared about the truth,

00:20:18because the stories

00:20:19written by the victors

00:20:20were always clean

00:20:21and respectable.

00:20:22Before I could speak,

00:20:23the doors of the hall

00:20:23were suddenly pushed open.

00:20:25Ivy wasn't wrong.

00:20:26Everyone turned around.

00:20:28Elena had arrived.

00:20:29Fifteen years had passed,

00:20:30yet she was still

00:20:31breathtakingly beautiful

00:20:32in that fragile way of hers.

00:20:34Her golden hair

00:20:34was pinned up

00:20:35behind her head,

00:20:36and the royal crest

00:20:36of the silver moon

00:20:37wolf pack's luna

00:20:38was embroidered

00:20:39on her white cloak.

00:20:40Behind her stood

00:20:40Alpha King Ryan

00:20:41and Karen,

00:20:42the holy knight

00:20:43of the Shadow Leopard Clan,

00:20:44every person

00:20:45who had destroyed

00:20:46my life fifteen years ago

00:20:47had finally appeared

00:20:48before me once again.

00:20:50Elena's eyes stiffened

00:20:51for a certain second

00:20:52the moment she saw me.

00:20:53Sister,

00:20:55I never imagined

00:20:56the Empress of the Sacred Dominion

00:20:58would turn out to be you.

00:21:00She called me sister,

00:21:02but her tone

00:21:03sounded more like

00:21:04a reminder

00:21:04to everyone present

00:21:06that I had once

00:21:07been nothing more

00:21:08than the filthy,

00:21:09silver-eyed outcast

00:21:10of the silver moon wolf pack.

00:21:13Caius frowned.

00:21:14Mother,

00:21:15you know them?

00:21:16I didn't answer.

00:21:18Ryan stepped forward.

00:21:19He still carried

00:21:20the same arrogance

00:21:21of an Alpha King,

00:21:22though the sharpness

00:21:23in his golden eyes

00:21:24was no longer

00:21:24what it had been.

00:21:26He looked at me

00:21:27and remained silent

00:21:28for a long moment.

00:21:31Selina.

00:21:35Hearing that name

00:21:35come from his lips

00:21:36almost made me laugh.

00:21:39Fifteen years ago

00:21:40he had used that name

00:21:40when he told me

00:21:41he loved me.

00:21:42Later,

00:21:43he had used the same voice

00:21:44to say that I disgusted him.

00:21:45And now he wanted

00:21:46to use that name again,

00:21:47pretending there were still

00:21:48unresolved feelings

00:21:49between us.

00:21:50I spoke calmly.

00:21:52Your Majesty,

00:21:53this is a private banquet

00:21:54of the Sacred Dominion

00:21:56consortium.

00:21:57You were not invited.

00:22:05Sister,

00:22:05if you're angry with me,

00:22:07then take it out on me.

00:22:09Why make things

00:22:10difficult for Ivy?

00:22:12She simply fell in love

00:22:13with Kairos.

00:22:15How interesting.

00:22:16I looked at her.

00:22:19Fifteen years ago,

00:22:20you also claimed

00:22:21that you had simply

00:22:22fallen in love

00:22:22with Ryan.

00:22:24Karen suddenly spoke.

00:22:26His voice called,

00:22:27Selina.

00:22:27What happened back then

00:22:29is already in the past.

00:22:30I turned to him.

00:22:32Of course it is.

00:22:33For you.

00:22:34After you woke up,

00:22:35all you had to do

00:22:36was call me shameless.

00:22:38But I had to spend

00:22:39fifteen years

00:22:40in the Forbibbon rift,

00:22:41carrying the crime

00:22:42you all forced onto me.

00:22:44Karen's throat bobbed.

00:22:45There was something

00:22:46complicated in his eyes.

00:22:47Pain,

00:22:48conflict,

00:22:49and a belated trace

00:22:50of doubt.

00:22:51But I didn't need it.

00:22:52Belated doubt

00:22:53was just like

00:22:54belated love.

00:22:55Both were worthless.

00:22:57Ryan took a deep breath.

00:22:58We didn't come here today

00:23:00to dig up the past.

00:23:02Ivy and Kyaitis

00:23:03love each other.

00:23:04An alliance between

00:23:05our two clans

00:23:06would benefit

00:23:07the sacred dimension

00:23:08as well.

00:23:09Selina,

00:23:10don't let personal grudges

00:23:11interfere with

00:23:11the bigger picture.

00:23:12I gently set down

00:23:14my wine glass.

00:23:15You're lecturing me

00:23:15about the bigger picture?

00:23:17Ryan frowned.

00:23:18I lifted a hand

00:23:19and the attendant behind me

00:23:21unfurled a black

00:23:22and gold contract scroll.

00:23:23It was covered

00:23:24with the markings

00:23:25of moon-tier crystal veins.

00:23:27My voice wasn't loud.

00:23:28Everyone heard it clearly.

00:23:30The Sacred Dominion

00:23:31Commodum controls

00:23:3280% of the continent's

00:23:33moon-tier crystal mines.

00:23:34Last year,

00:23:3570% of the Silvermoon

00:23:36Wolfpack's

00:23:37military supplies,

00:23:38potions,

00:23:38and room array maintenance

00:23:39came from

00:23:40Sacred Dominion resources.

00:23:43Ryan,

00:23:44you're standing

00:23:45on my territory,

00:23:46living off my mines,

00:23:48and still expecting me

00:23:50to prioritize

00:23:51your bigger picture.

00:23:57Ryan's expression

00:23:58instantly dartened.

00:24:00For the first time,

00:24:01panic flashed

00:24:02Kostot Ivy's face.

00:24:03She grabbed

00:24:04Kaios' hand.

00:24:05Kaios,

00:24:06say something!

00:24:07Mother,

00:24:07do you really

00:24:08have to do this?

00:24:09Kairos looked at me,

00:24:10and for the first time,

00:24:11there was anger

00:24:12in his eyes.

00:24:13Do what?

00:24:14I asked.

00:24:16Expose the truth

00:24:17in front of everyone?

00:24:19Or refuse to hand over

00:24:20the life's work

00:24:21I've built

00:24:21to my enemy's daughter?

00:24:23Kairos lowered his voice.

00:24:26Ivy isn't her mother.

00:24:28Neither are you me.

00:24:29You don't have the right

00:24:30to forgive them

00:24:31on my behalf.

00:24:32I fixed my gaze on him.

00:24:33The moment those words

00:24:34left my mouth,

00:24:35the last trace of hesitation

00:24:36vanished from Kairos' face.

00:24:38He took Ivy's hand

00:24:38and turned to face the guests.

00:24:40If Mother refuses

00:24:40to give us her blessing,

00:24:41then I'll make

00:24:42the announcement myself.

00:24:43I, Kairos,

00:24:44as the heir of the Sacred

00:24:44Demangian,

00:24:45choose Ivy

00:24:45as my blood oath mate.

00:24:47From this night forward,

00:24:48anyone whom humiliates her

00:24:49becomes my enemy.

00:24:50The entire hall fell silent.

00:24:51A flash of triumph

00:24:52crossed Elena's eyes.

00:24:53Even Ryan slowly

00:24:54looked pleased.

00:24:54Kairos,

00:24:55I knew you wouldn't

00:24:55abandon me.

00:24:56Crying,

00:24:57Ivy threw herself

00:24:58into Kairos' arms.

00:24:59I watched them

00:24:59and suddenly felt tired.

00:25:01Not heartbroken,

00:25:02just tired of it all.

00:25:04I raised my hand.

00:25:06Bring me the blood oath scroll.

00:25:07Hope lit up

00:25:08and at Kairos' eyes.

00:25:10Mother,

00:25:10you agree?

00:25:11I smiled.

00:25:13Of course.

00:25:14Before Ivy

00:25:14could even breathe

00:25:15a sigh of relief,

00:25:16I finished the sentence.

00:25:17I agree to sever

00:25:18the blood oath

00:25:19between us

00:25:19as mother and son.

00:25:21The smile

00:25:21on Kairos' face frozen.

00:25:23What did you say?

00:25:24An attendant

00:25:25brought over

00:25:26a black parchment scroll.

00:25:27It was no ordinary contract.

00:25:30Someone recognized it,

00:25:31their voice trembling.

00:25:35The soul-severation

00:25:36blood oath.

00:25:37Once it's signed,

00:25:38blood ties,

00:25:39inheritance rights,

00:25:39and family protection

00:25:40are all permanently

00:25:41cut off.

00:25:45The soul-severation

00:25:54On the day of my wedding,

00:25:55my mother tore my wedding gown apart

00:25:56in front of every noble present.

00:25:58Raising the moon goddess

00:25:59Seppler high,

00:26:00she brought it crashing down

00:26:02toward me,

00:26:03sending me sprawling

00:26:04across the ground.

00:26:06Selina is not worthy

00:26:07of becoming the new

00:26:08Alpha King's bride.

00:26:09A deathly silence

00:26:10fell over the hall.

00:26:11I was the rejected

00:26:12silver-eyed daughter

00:26:13of the Silvermoon wolf pack.

00:26:15Today,

00:26:15as long as I completed

00:26:16the blood oath

00:26:17with the newly crowned

00:26:18Alpha King, Ryan,

00:26:19I would become his Luna,

00:26:20the queen of all werewolves.

00:26:21But my biological mother,

00:26:23Hera,

00:26:24the most revered

00:26:25High Priestess

00:26:26of the Temple of Light,

00:26:27publicly declared,

00:26:29Last night,

00:26:30she seduced Karen,

00:26:32the Shadow Pletha clan's

00:26:33holy knight,

00:26:34and her sister

00:26:35Elena's fiancée.

00:26:36The crowd instantly erupted.

00:26:38I knew those silver eyes

00:26:40were filthy.

00:26:41She actually dared

00:26:42to betray the Alpha King?

00:26:44Drive her out

00:26:45of the Silvermoon pack!

00:26:47A chill spread

00:26:48through my entire body

00:26:50as I stared

00:26:51at my mother.

00:26:53What are you talking about?

00:26:55Last night,

00:26:56she had personally

00:26:57handed me a cup

00:26:58of blessed potion.

00:27:00She had smiled

00:27:01and said,

00:27:01Drink this,

00:27:03and the Moon Goddess

00:27:04will bless you

00:27:05and Ryan

00:27:05with a bond

00:27:06that can never be broken.

00:27:08But when I woke up,

00:27:09the man lying beside me

00:27:10wasn't Ryan.

00:27:11It was at Karen.

00:27:13Both of us

00:27:13had been drugged.

00:27:14I wanted to explain,

00:27:15but Karen had already

00:27:16thrown on his cloak.

00:27:17His eyes were filled

00:27:18with nothing but disgust.

00:27:21Selina,

00:27:21I've never met a woman

00:27:22as shameless as you.

00:27:23You'd even go after

00:27:24your own sister's fiancée!

00:27:25Then Karen staggered backward

00:27:27until he reached Elena's side.

00:27:29His eyes were red

00:27:30as he looked at her.

00:27:32I've been tainted.

00:27:34You're so pure.

00:27:36I no longer deserve

00:27:38to marry you.

00:27:39Below the altar,

00:27:40Ryan stood motionless.

00:27:42He had once told me

00:27:43that even if the entire world

00:27:45despised my silver eyes,

00:27:46he would still marry me.

00:27:49But now,

00:27:50the way he looked at me

00:27:51was no different

00:27:52from looking at something filthy.

00:27:54I rushed down from the altar

00:27:56and grabbed his hand.

00:27:58Ryan,

00:27:59someone set me up.

00:28:00There was something wrong

00:28:01with that potion.

00:28:02It was Mother!

00:28:03Enough!

00:28:05He shook me off,

00:28:07his voice horsey.

00:28:09Selina and I used to think

00:28:10you were just unlucky.

00:28:12Now I realize

00:28:13you genuinely disgust me.

00:28:19I froze where I stood.

00:28:23Elena burst into tears

00:28:24and buried herself

00:28:25in our mother's arms.

00:28:26She had a pair of noble golden eyes.

00:28:29Pale, delicate,

00:28:30and fragile.

00:28:31She looked like

00:28:31the most innocent,

00:28:32sainty continent.

00:28:34Sister,

00:28:34I know you've always

00:28:35been jealous of me,

00:28:36but Karen is my fiancé.

00:28:38My mother gently wiped away

00:28:39her tears before walking

00:28:40over to me.

00:28:41Then,

00:28:41with her own hands,

00:28:42she removed the silver moon crest

00:28:44pinned to my chest.

00:28:45It was the symbol

00:28:46of a wolf bride's status.

00:28:47And in all fifteen years

00:28:48of my life,

00:28:49it was the only thing

00:28:50that had ever truly

00:28:51acknowledged my existence.

00:28:52I stared at her.

00:28:54Why?

00:28:54She leaned close

00:28:55to my ear,

00:28:56her voice so low

00:28:57that only I could hear it.

00:28:59Because Elena

00:29:00is far more suitable

00:29:01to be Luna,

00:29:03she has golden eyes.

00:29:05You're nothing

00:29:06but a stain.

00:29:08In that moment,

00:29:10I finally understood

00:29:11this wasn't an accident.

00:29:14It wasn't a misunderstanding.

00:29:15It was a trap

00:29:16they had prepared

00:29:17long ago.

00:29:18That moment,

00:29:19Elena suddenly wiped away

00:29:20her tears

00:29:20and stepped forward.

00:29:21The position of Luna

00:29:22of the silver moon wolf pack

00:29:23cannot remain vacant.

00:29:25It would only make us

00:29:25the laughing stock

00:29:26of everyone.

00:29:27Since my sister

00:29:28committed such a disgraceful offense,

00:29:29let me atone

00:29:30for her sins in her place.

00:29:31Ryan,

00:29:32if you're willing,

00:29:33I can complete this blood oath

00:29:34in my sister's stead.

00:29:35Ryan turned around

00:29:37and placed the blood crown,

00:29:38the symbol of the queen,

00:29:40upon Elena's head.

00:29:41The entire hall

00:29:42erupted in cheers.

00:29:44My sister wore

00:29:45my wedding gown,

00:29:46held my Grimm's hand,

00:29:48and stood in the place

00:29:49that should have been mine.

00:29:50And I was publicly sentenced

00:29:52by my own mother.

00:29:53At Selina,

00:29:53silver eyes

00:29:54has defiled the blood oath.

00:29:55Strip her of the wolf crest

00:29:56and exiled her

00:29:57to the forbidden rift.

00:29:58She shall never return.

00:29:59As the temple knights

00:30:00dragged me down

00:30:00from the altar,

00:30:01Elena glanced at me,

00:30:02tears still lingued on her face,

00:30:03but the corners of her lips

00:30:04slowly curled forward.

00:30:08Fifteen years later,

00:30:09at the inheritance bankery

00:30:10of the sacred dominion Conforge,

00:30:12Nabals and power holders

00:30:13from all twelve clans

00:30:14gathered withneath one roof.

00:30:15They knelt before

00:30:16my dragon bone throne,

00:30:17competing to present

00:30:18moon tear crystal mines,

00:30:19territorial deeds,

00:30:20and bloodline oaths

00:30:21as tribute.

00:30:22None of them knew

00:30:23that the empress

00:30:24of the sacred dominion,

00:30:26the woman who controlled

00:30:27eighty percent

00:30:28of the continent's

00:30:28moon tear crystal mines,

00:30:31was the same silver-eyed outcast

00:30:34they had once trampled

00:30:35into the mud.

00:30:36Until my adopted son,

00:30:39Kyaris,

00:30:39walked into the grand hall

00:30:41holding a young woman's hand.

00:30:43She wore a silver-white

00:30:44formal gown.

00:30:45Her golden eyes

00:30:46shunned brightly,

00:30:47and pride radiated

00:30:49from her face.

00:30:50Her name was Ivy,

00:30:52Elena's daughter,

00:30:53and she bore the exact

00:30:53same face her mother

00:30:54had fifteen years ago.

00:30:56Kaio stopped before me,

00:30:57his tone unwavering.

00:30:58Mother,

00:30:59Ivy will become

00:31:00my blood oath mate.

00:31:01If you approve,

00:31:01we'll announce

00:31:02our engagement tonight.

00:31:03Every guest in the hall

00:31:04held their breath.

00:31:06Ivy lifted her chin

00:31:07slightly,

00:31:08waiting for me

00:31:08to bestow that honor

00:31:09upon her.

00:31:10She was the golden-eyed

00:31:11Saint Chris

00:31:12of the Silver Moon Wolfpack,

00:31:14Ryan's most cherished

00:31:15daughter

00:31:15and Hera's favorite

00:31:16granddaughter.

00:31:17She was used to people

00:31:18lowering their heads

00:31:19the moment they saw her,

00:31:21but she had forgotten

00:31:22one thing.

00:31:22This was not the

00:31:23Silver Moon Wolfpack.

00:31:24This was the sacred

00:31:25dominion from Forky.

00:31:27This was the throne

00:31:28I had clawed my way

00:31:29towards for fifteen years,

00:31:31inch by inch,

00:31:33through the bones

00:31:34and corpses

00:31:34of the Forbidden Rift.

00:31:36I looked at that face

00:31:37and remembered

00:31:38the wedding gown

00:31:38that had been torn apart

00:31:39fifteen years ago.

00:31:40I remembered the poison

00:31:42my mother had handed me.

00:31:43I remembered the cold look

00:31:44in Ryan's eyes.

00:31:46Then I set down

00:31:46my wine glass.

00:31:47The bass struck

00:31:48the dragonbone armrest.

00:31:49The sound was not loud,

00:31:51yet the entire hall

00:31:51fell silence

00:31:52in an instant.

00:31:53I do not approve.

00:31:55I said,

00:31:55Kairos froze.

00:31:56Mother?

00:31:57The smile on Ivy's face

00:31:59stiffened.

00:31:59I raised my eyes to her.

00:32:01You will never become

00:32:02the mate of the sacred

00:32:03dominion's heir,

00:32:03not in this lifetime.

00:32:04The crowd instantly

00:32:06exploded into an uproar.

00:32:07Ivy's eyes reddened

00:32:08at once.

00:32:10Why?

00:32:10What makes me unworthy?

00:32:13I looked at her

00:32:14and smiled.

00:32:16Because the thing

00:32:16your mother stole

00:32:17fifteen years ago

00:32:18is finally going

00:32:19to be returned today.

00:32:22Ivy's face

00:32:23went completely pale.

00:32:25Kairos stepped

00:32:25in front of her,

00:32:26his brows drawn

00:32:27tightly together.

00:32:28Mother,

00:32:29Ivy didn't do

00:32:30anything wrong.

00:32:30The grudges of

00:32:31the previous generation

00:32:32shouldn't fall

00:32:32on her shoulders.

00:32:33I looked at him.

00:32:35Do you even know

00:32:36what happened

00:32:36fifteen years ago?

00:32:37Ivy spoke before

00:32:38he-

00:32:39My mother told me

00:32:39everything!

00:32:40Fifteen years ago

00:32:41you betrayed

00:32:42Alpha King Ryan

00:32:43and seduced

00:32:43Karen,

00:32:44my mother's fiancée.

00:32:45You were exiled

00:32:45because you

00:32:46committed a crime!

00:32:47She bit her lip,

00:32:48looking as though

00:32:49I were the one

00:32:49bullying her.

00:32:50But my mother

00:32:51always defended you.

00:32:52She said you were

00:32:53just too jealous of her.

00:32:55Muted whispers

00:32:56spread throughout

00:32:57the hall.

00:32:58Some of the older

00:32:58nobles lowered

00:32:59their heads.

00:33:00Back then,

00:33:01they had all stood

00:33:02within the moon

00:33:03goddess's altar.

00:33:04They had watched

00:33:04my wedding gown

00:33:05in dream torn apart,

00:33:06and they had watched

00:33:07Elena put on

00:33:07my bridal dress.

00:33:08They knew about

00:33:09that scant.

00:33:10But they had never

00:33:11cared about the truth,

00:33:12because the stories

00:33:13written by the victors

00:33:14were always clean

00:33:15and respectable.

00:33:16Before I could speak,

00:33:17the doors of the hall

00:33:17were suddenly pushed open.

00:33:19Ivy wasn't wrong.

00:33:20Everyone turned around.

00:33:22Elena had arrived.

00:33:23Fifteen years had passed,

00:33:24yet she was still

00:33:25breathtakingly beautiful

00:33:26in that fragile way of hers.

00:33:28Her golden hair

00:33:28was pinned up

00:33:29behind her head,

00:33:30and the royal crest

00:33:30of the silver moon

00:33:31wolf pack's luna

00:33:32was embroidered

00:33:33on her white cloak.

00:33:34Behind her stood

00:33:34Alpha King Ryan,

00:33:36and Karen,

00:33:36the holy knight

00:33:37of the shadow leopard clan.

00:33:38Every person

00:33:39who had destroyed

00:33:40my life fifteen years ago

00:33:41had finally appeared

00:33:42before me once again.

00:33:44Elena's eyes stiffened

00:33:45for a second second

00:33:46the moment she saw me.

00:33:47Sister,

00:33:49I never imagined

00:33:50the Empress

00:33:51of the Sacred Dominion

00:33:52would turn out

00:33:53to be you.

00:33:54She called me sister,

00:33:56but her tone

00:33:57sounded more like

00:33:58a reminder

00:33:58to everyone present

00:34:00that I had once

00:34:01been nothing more

00:34:02than the filthy,

00:34:03silver-eyed outcast

00:34:04of the silver moon

00:34:05wolf pack.

00:34:07Caius frowned.

00:34:08Mother,

00:34:10you know them?

00:34:10I didn't answer.

00:34:12Ryan stepped forward.

00:34:13He still carried

00:34:14the same arrogance

00:34:15of an Alpha King,

00:34:16though the sharpness

00:34:17in his golden eyes

00:34:18was no longer

00:34:18what it had been.

00:34:20He looked at me

00:34:21and remained silent

00:34:22for a long moment.

00:34:25Selina.

00:34:29Hearing that name

00:34:29come from his lips

00:34:30almost made me laugh.

00:34:33Fifteen years ago

00:34:34he had used that name

00:34:34when he told me

00:34:35he loved me.

00:34:36Later,

00:34:37he had used the same voice

00:34:38to say that I disgusted him.

00:34:39And now he wanted

00:34:40to use that name again,

00:34:41pretending there were still

00:34:42unresolved feelings

00:34:43between us.

00:34:44I spoke calmly.

00:34:46Your Majesty,

00:34:47this is a private banquet

00:34:48of the Sacred Dominion

00:34:50consortium.

00:34:51You were not invited.

00:34:58Sister,

00:34:59if you're angry with me,

00:35:01then take it out on me.

00:35:03Why make things

00:35:04difficult for Ivy?

00:35:06She simply fell in love

00:35:07with Kairos.

00:35:09How interesting.

00:35:10I looked at her.

00:35:13Fifteen years ago,

00:35:14you also claimed

00:35:15that you had simply

00:35:16fallen in love

00:35:16with Ryan.

00:35:18Karen suddenly spoke,

00:35:20his voice called.

00:35:21Selina,

00:35:22what happened back then

00:35:23is already in the past.

00:35:24I turned to him.

00:35:26Of course it is.

00:35:27For you.

00:35:28After you woke up,

00:35:29all you had to do

00:35:30was call me shameless.

00:35:32But I had to spend

00:35:33fifteen years

00:35:34in the Forbibbon Rift,

00:35:35carrying the crime

00:35:36you all forced onto me.

00:35:38Karen's throat bobbed.

00:35:39There was something

00:35:40complicated in his eyes.

00:35:42Pain,

00:35:42conflict,

00:35:43and a belated trace

00:35:44of doubt.

00:35:45But I didn't need it.

00:35:46Belated doubt

00:35:47was just like belated love.

00:35:49Both were worthless.

00:35:51Ryan took a deep breath.

00:35:53We didn't come here today

00:35:54to dig up the past.

00:35:56Ivy and Kaidas

00:35:57love each other.

00:35:58An alliance between

00:35:59our two clans

00:36:00would benefit

00:36:01the sacred dimension

00:36:02as well.

00:36:03Selina,

00:36:04don't let personal grudges

00:36:05interfere with

00:36:05the bigger picture.

00:36:07I gently set down

00:36:08my wine glass.

00:36:09You're lecturing me

00:36:09about the bigger picture?

00:36:11Ryan frowned.

00:36:12I lifted a hand

00:36:13and the attendant behind me

00:36:15unfurled a black

00:36:16and gold contract scroll.

00:36:17It was covered

00:36:18with the markings

00:36:19of moon-tier crystal veins.

00:36:21My voice wasn't loud.

00:36:22Everyone heard it clearly.

00:36:24The sacred dominion

00:36:25comodum controls

00:36:2680% of the continent's

00:36:27moon-tier crystal mines.

00:36:29Last year,

00:36:2970% of the silver moon

00:36:30wolf pack's

00:36:31military supplies,

00:36:32potions,

00:36:32and room array maintenance

00:36:33came from

00:36:34sacred dominion resources.

00:36:37Ryan,

00:36:38you're standing

00:36:39on my territory,

00:36:40living off my mines,

00:36:42and still expecting me

00:36:44to prioritize

00:36:45your bigger picture.

00:36:51Ryan's expression

00:36:52instantly dartened.

00:36:54For the first time,

00:36:55panic flashed

00:36:56Kostot Ivy's face.

00:36:57She grabbed

00:36:58Kyos' hand.

00:36:59Kyos,

00:37:00say something!

00:37:01Mother,

00:37:01do you really

00:37:02have to do this?

00:37:03Kyros looked at me,

00:37:04and for the first time,

00:37:05there was anger

00:37:06in his eyes.

00:37:07Do what?

00:37:08I asked.

00:37:10Expose the truth

00:37:11in front of everyone?

00:37:13Or refuse to hand over

00:37:14the life's work

00:37:15I've built

00:37:15to my enemy's daughter?

00:37:17Kyros lowered his voice.

00:37:20Ivy isn't her mother.

00:37:22Neither are you me.

00:37:23You don't have the right

00:37:24to forgive them

00:37:25on my behalf.

00:37:26I fixed my gaze on him.

00:37:27The moment those words

00:37:28left my mouth,

00:37:29the last trace of hesitation

00:37:30vanished from Kyros' face.

00:37:32He took Ivy's hand

00:37:32and turned to face the guests.

00:37:34If Mother refuses

00:37:34to give us her blessing,

00:37:35then I'll make

00:37:36the announcement myself.

00:37:37I, Kyros,

00:37:38as the heir of the

00:37:38sacred Dimangian

00:37:39choose Ivy

00:37:39as my blood oath mate.

00:37:41From this night forward,

00:37:42anyone who humiliates her

00:37:43becomes my enemy.

00:37:44The entire hall fell silent.

00:37:45A flash of triumph

00:37:46crossed Elena's eyes.

00:37:47Even Ryan slowly

00:37:48looked pleased.

00:37:48Kyros, I knew

00:37:49you wouldn't abandon me.

00:37:50Crying,

00:37:51Ivy threw herself

00:37:52into Kyros' arms.

00:37:53I watched them

00:37:53and suddenly felt tired.

00:37:55Not heartbroken,

00:37:56just tired of it all.

00:37:58I raised my hand.

00:37:59Bring me the blood oath scroll.

00:38:02Hope lit up

00:38:02and at Kyros' eyes.

00:38:04Mother, you agree?

00:38:05I smiled.

00:38:07Of course.

00:38:07Before Ivy

00:38:08could even breathe

00:38:09a sigh of relief,

00:38:10I finished the sentence.

00:38:11I agree to sever

00:38:12the blood oath

00:38:12between us

00:38:13as mother and son.

00:38:15The smile on

00:38:16Kyata's face frozen.

00:38:17What did you say?

00:38:18An attendant

00:38:19brought over

00:38:20a black parchment scroll.

00:38:21It was no

00:38:22ordinary contract.

00:38:24Someone recognized it,

00:38:25their voice trembling.

00:38:29The soul severation

00:38:30blood oath.

00:38:31Once it's signed,

00:38:32blood ties,

00:38:33inheritance rights,

00:38:33and family protection

00:38:34are all permanently

00:38:35cut off.

00:38:47On the day of my wedding,

00:38:49my mother tore my wedding gown apart

00:38:50in front of every noble present.

00:38:52Raising the moon goddess

00:38:53septer high,

00:38:55she brought it

00:38:55crashing down toward me,

00:38:57sending me sprawling

00:38:58across the ground.

00:39:00Selina is not worthy

00:39:01of becoming

00:39:02the new alpha king's bride.

00:39:03A deathly silence

00:39:04fell over the hall.

00:39:05I was the rejected

00:39:06silver-eyed daughter

00:39:07of the silver moon wolf pack.

00:39:09Today,

00:39:09as long as I completed

00:39:10the blood oath

00:39:11with the newly crowned

00:39:12alpha king, Ryan,

00:39:13I would become his Luna,

00:39:14the queen of all werewolves.

00:39:15But my biological mother,

00:39:17Hera,

00:39:18the most revered

00:39:19high priestess

00:39:20of the Temple of Light,

00:39:21publicly declared,

00:39:22Last night,

00:39:24she seduced Karen,

00:39:26the Shadow Pletha clan's

00:39:27holy knight,

00:39:28and her sister Elena's fiancée.

00:39:30The crowd instantly erupted.

00:39:32I knew those silver eyes

00:39:34were filthy.

00:39:35She actually dared

00:39:36to betray the alpha king?

00:39:38Drive her out

00:39:39of the silver moon pack!

00:39:41A chill spread through

00:39:43my entire body

00:39:44as I stared at my mother.

00:39:47What are you talking about?

00:39:49Last night,

00:39:50she had personally

00:39:51handed me a cup

00:39:52of blessed potion.

00:39:54She had smiled and said,

00:39:55Drink this,

00:39:57and the moon goddess

00:39:58will bless you and Ryan

00:39:59with a bond

00:40:00that can never be broken.

00:40:02But when I woke up,

00:40:03the man lying beside me

00:40:04wasn't Ryan.

00:40:05It was at Karen.

00:40:07Both of us had been drugged.

00:40:08I wanted to explain,

00:40:09but Karen had already

00:40:10thrown on his cloak.

00:40:11His eyes were filled

00:40:12with nothing but disgust.

00:40:15Selina,

00:40:15I've never met a woman

00:40:16as shameless as you.

00:40:17You'd even go after

00:40:18your own sister's fiance?

00:40:19Then Karen staggered backward

00:40:21until he reached

00:40:22Elena's side.

00:40:23His eyes were red

00:40:24as he looked at her.

00:40:26I've been tainted.

00:40:28You're so pure.

00:40:30I no longer deserve

00:40:32to marry you.

00:40:33Below the altar,

00:40:34Ryan stood motionless.

00:40:36He had once told me

00:40:37that even if the entire world

00:40:39despised my silver eyes,

00:40:40he would still marry me.

00:40:43But now,

00:40:44the way he looked at me

00:40:45was no different

00:40:46from looking at something filthy.

00:40:49I rushed down

00:40:50from the altar

00:40:50and grabbed his hand.

00:40:52Ryan,

00:40:53someone set me up.

00:40:54There was something wrong

00:40:55with that potion.

00:40:56It was Mother!

00:40:57Enough!

00:40:59He shook me off,

00:41:01his voice horsey.

00:41:03Selina,

00:41:04I used to think

00:41:04you were just unlucky.

00:41:06Now I realize

00:41:07you genuinely disgust me.

00:41:13I froze where I stood.

00:41:17Elena burst into tears

00:41:18and buried herself

00:41:19in our mother's arms.

00:41:20She had a pair

00:41:21of noble golden eyes.

00:41:23Pale,

00:41:23delicate,

00:41:24and fragile.

00:41:25She looked like

00:41:25the most innocent

00:41:26sainty continent.

00:41:28Sister,

00:41:28I know you've always

00:41:29been jealous of me,

00:41:30but Karen is my fiancé.

00:41:32My mother gently

00:41:33wiped away her tears

00:41:34before walking over to me.

00:41:35Then,

00:41:35with her own hands,

00:41:36she removed

00:41:37the silver moon crest

00:41:38pinned to my chest.

00:41:39It was the symbol

00:41:40of a wolf bride's status,

00:41:41and in all 15 years

00:41:42of my life,

00:41:43it was the only thing

00:41:44that had ever truly

00:41:45acknowledged my existence.

00:41:46I stared at her.

00:41:48Why?

00:41:48She leaned close

00:41:49to my ear,

00:41:50her voice so low

00:41:51that only I could hear it.

00:41:53Because Elena

00:41:54is far more suitable

00:41:55to be Luna.

00:41:57She has golden eyes.

00:41:59You're nothing

00:42:00but a stain.

00:42:02In that moment,

00:42:04I finally understood

00:42:05this wasn't an accident.

00:42:07It wasn't a misunderstanding.

00:42:09It was a trap

00:42:10they had prepared

00:42:11long ago.

00:42:12That moment,

00:42:13Elena suddenly wiped away

00:42:14her tears

00:42:14and stepped forward.

00:42:15The position of Luna

00:42:16of the silver moon wolf pack

00:42:17cannot remain vacant.

00:42:19It would only make us

00:42:19the laughing stock

00:42:20of everyone.

00:42:21Since my sister committed

00:42:22such a disgraceful offense,

00:42:23let me atone for her sins

00:42:25in her place.

00:42:25Ryan,

00:42:26if you're willing,

00:42:27I can complete this blood oath

00:42:28in my sister's stead.

00:42:29Ryan turned around

00:42:31and placed the blood crown,

00:42:32the symbol of the queen,

00:42:34upon Elena's head.

00:42:35The entire hall

00:42:36erupted in cheers.

00:42:38My sister wore

00:42:39my wedding gown,

00:42:40held my Grimm's hand,

00:42:42and stood in the place

00:42:43that should have been mine.

00:42:44And I was publicly

00:42:45sentenced by my own mother.

00:42:47At Selina,

00:42:47silver eyes

00:42:48has defiled the blood oath,

00:42:49stripped her of the wolf crest,

00:42:50and exiled her

00:42:51to the forbidden rift.

00:42:52She shall never return.

00:42:53As the temple knights

00:42:54dragged me down

00:42:54from the altar,

00:42:55Elena glanced at me,

00:42:56tears still lingued

00:42:57on her face,

00:42:57but the corners of her lips

00:42:58slowly curled forward.

00:43:02Fifteen years later,

00:43:03at the inheritance bankry

00:43:04of the Sacred Dominion Conforge,

00:43:06nables and power holders

00:43:07from all twelve clans

00:43:08gathered withneath one roof.

00:43:09They knelt before

00:43:10my dragonbone throne,

00:43:11competing to present

00:43:12moon tear crystal mines,

00:43:13territorial deeds,

00:43:14and bloodline oves

00:43:15as tribute.

00:43:16None of them knew

00:43:17that the Empress

00:43:18of the Sacred Dominion,

00:43:19the woman who controlled

00:43:21eighty percent of the continent's

00:43:22moon tear crystal mines,

00:43:25was the same silver-eyed outcast

00:43:28they had once trampled

00:43:29into the mud.

00:43:30Until my adopted son,

00:43:33Kyaris,

00:43:34walked into the grand hall

00:43:35holding a young woman's hand.

00:43:37She wore a silver-white

00:43:38formal gown.

00:43:39Her golden eyes

00:43:40shunned brightly,

00:43:41and pride radiated

00:43:43from her face.

00:43:44Her name was Ivy,

00:43:46Elena's daughter,

00:43:47and she bore the exact same face

00:43:48her mother had

00:43:49fifteen years ago.

00:43:50Kaio stopped before me,

00:43:51his tone unwavering.

00:43:52Mother,

00:43:53Ivy will become

00:43:54my blood oath mate.

00:43:55If you approve,

00:43:55we'll announce

00:43:56our engagement tonight.

00:43:57Every guest in the hall

00:43:58held their breath.

00:44:00Ivy lifted her chin slightly,

00:44:02waiting for me

00:44:02to bestow that honor upon her.

00:44:04She was the golden-eyed

00:44:05Saint Chris

00:44:06of the Silvermoon Wolfpack,

00:44:08Ryan's most cherished daughter

00:44:09and Hera's

00:44:10favorite granddaughter.

00:44:11She was used to people

00:44:12lowering their heads

00:44:13the moment they saw her,

00:44:15but she had forgotten

00:44:16one thing.

00:44:16This was not

00:44:17the Silvermoon Wolfpack.

00:44:18This was the sacred

00:44:19Dominion who fought me.

00:44:21This was the throne

00:44:22I had clawed my way

00:44:23towards for fifteen years,

00:44:25inch by inch,

00:44:27through the bones

00:44:28and corpses

00:44:28of the Forbidden Rift.

00:44:30I looked at that face

00:44:31and remembered

00:44:32the wedding gown

00:44:32that had been torn apart

00:44:33fifteen years ago.

00:44:34I remembered the poison

00:44:36my mother had handed me.

00:44:37I remembered the cold look

00:44:38in Ryan's eyes.

00:44:40Then I set down

00:44:40my wine glass.

00:44:41The bass struck

00:44:42the Dragonbone armrest.

00:44:43The sound was not loud,

00:44:45yet the entire hall

00:44:45fell silence

00:44:46in an instant.

00:44:47I do not approve.

00:44:48I said,

00:44:49Kairos froze.

00:44:50Mother?

00:44:51The smile on Ivy's face

00:44:53stiffened.

00:44:53I raised my eyes to her.

00:44:55You will never become

00:44:56the mate of the

00:44:56Sacred Dominion's heir,

00:44:57not in this lifetime.

00:44:59The crowd instantly

00:45:00exploded into an uproar.

00:45:01Ivy's eyes reddened

00:45:02at once.

00:45:04Why?

00:45:04What makes me unworthy?

00:45:07I looked at her

00:45:08and smiled.

00:45:09Because the thing

00:45:10your mother stole

00:45:11fifteen years ago

00:45:12is finally going

00:45:13to be returned today.

00:45:16Ivy's face

00:45:17went completely pale.

00:45:19Kairos stepped

00:45:19in front of her,

00:45:20his brows drawn

00:45:21tightly together.

00:45:22Mother,

00:45:23Ivy didn't do

00:45:24anything wrong.

00:45:24The grudges of

00:45:25the previous generation

00:45:26shouldn't fall

00:45:27on her shoulders.

00:45:27I looked at him.

00:45:29Do you even know

00:45:30what happened

00:45:30fifteen years ago?

00:45:31Ivy spoke before he-

00:45:33My mother told me

00:45:33everything!

00:45:34Fifteen years ago

00:45:35you betrayed

00:45:36Alpha King Ryan

00:45:37and seduced Karen,

00:45:38my mother's fiancée.

00:45:39You were exiled

00:45:39because you committed

00:45:40a crime!

00:45:41She bit her lip,

00:45:42looking as though

00:45:43I were the one

00:45:43bullying her.

00:45:44But my mother

00:45:45always defended you.

00:45:46She said you were

00:45:47just too jealous of her.

00:45:49Muted whispers

00:45:50spread throughout the hall.

00:45:51Some of the older nobles

00:45:53lowered their heads.

00:45:54Back then,

00:45:55they had all stood

00:45:56with the moon goddess's altar.

00:45:58They had watched

00:45:58my wedding gown

00:45:59in green torn apart

00:46:00and they had watched

00:46:01Elena put on

00:46:01my bridal dress.

00:46:03They knew about that scant,

00:46:04but they had never

00:46:05cared about the truth

00:46:06because the stories

00:46:07written by the victors

00:46:08were always clean

00:46:09and respectable.

00:46:10Before I could speak,

00:46:11the doors of the hall

00:46:11were suddenly pushed open.

00:46:13Ivy wasn't wrong.

00:46:14Everyone turned around.

00:46:16Elena had arrived.

00:46:17Fifteen years had passed

00:46:18yet she was still

00:46:19breathtakingly beautiful

00:46:20in that fragile way of hers.

00:46:22Her golden hair

00:46:22was pinned up

00:46:23behind her head

00:46:23and the royal crest

00:46:24of the silver moon

00:46:25wolf pack's luna

00:46:26was embroidered

00:46:27on her white cloak.

00:46:28Behind her stood

00:46:28Alpha King Ryan

00:46:29and Karen,

00:46:30the holy knight

00:46:31of the shadow leopard clan.

00:46:32Every person

00:46:33who had destroyed

00:46:34my life fifteen years ago

00:46:35had finally appeared

00:46:36before me once again.

00:46:38Elena's eyes stiffened

00:46:39for a certain second

00:46:40the moment she saw me.

00:46:41Sister,

00:46:43I never imagined

00:46:44the Empress

00:46:45of the Sacred Dominion

00:46:46would turn out

00:46:47to be you.

00:46:48She called me sister,

00:46:50but her tone

00:46:51sounded more like

00:46:52a reminder

00:46:52to everyone present

00:46:54that I had once

00:46:55been nothing more

00:46:56than the filthy,

00:46:57silver-eyed outcast

00:46:58of the silver moon

00:46:59wolf pack.

00:47:01Caius frowned.

00:47:02Mother,

00:47:03you know them?

00:47:04I didn't answer.

00:47:06Ryan stepped forward.

00:47:07He still carried

00:47:08the same arrogance

00:47:09of an Alpha King,

00:47:10though the sharpness

00:47:11in his golden eyes

00:47:12was no longer

00:47:12what it had been.

00:47:14He looked at me

00:47:15and remained silent

00:47:16for a long moment.

00:47:19Selena.

00:47:23Hearing that name

00:47:23come from his lips

00:47:24almost made me laugh.

00:47:27Fifteen years ago

00:47:28he had used that name

00:47:28when he told me

00:47:29he loved me.

00:47:30Later,

00:47:31he had used the same voice

00:47:32to say that I disgusted him.

00:47:33And now he wanted

00:47:34to use that name again,

00:47:35pretending there were still

00:47:36unresolved feelings

00:47:37between us.

00:47:38I spoke calmly.

00:47:40Your Majesty,

00:47:41this is a private banquet

00:47:42of the Sacred Domainian

00:47:44Consortium.

00:47:45You were not invited.

00:47:53Sister,

00:47:53if you're angry with me,

00:47:55then take it out on me.

00:47:57Why make things

00:47:58difficult for Ivy?

00:48:00She simply fell in love

00:48:01with Kairus.

00:48:03How interesting.

00:48:04I looked at her.

00:48:07Fifteen years ago,

00:48:08you also claimed

00:48:09that you had simply

00:48:10fallen in love

00:48:10with Ryan.

00:48:12Karen suddenly spoke,

00:48:14his voice called.

00:48:15Selena,

00:48:16what happened back then

00:48:17is already in the past.

00:48:18I turned to him.

00:48:20Of course it is.

00:48:21For you.

00:48:22After you woke up,

00:48:23all you had to do

00:48:24was call me shameless.

00:48:26But I had to spend

00:48:27fifteen years

00:48:28in the Forbibbon Rift,

00:48:29carrying the crime

00:48:30you all forced onto me.

00:48:32Karen's throat barbed.

00:48:33There was something

00:48:34complicated in his eyes.

00:48:35Pain,

00:48:36conflict,

00:48:37and a belated trace

00:48:38of doubt.

00:48:39But I didn't need it.

00:48:40Belated doubt

00:48:41was just like

00:48:42belated love.

00:48:43Both were worthless.

00:48:45Ryan took a deep breath.

00:48:47We didn't come here today

00:48:48to dig up the past.

00:48:50Ivy and Kai-itis

00:48:51love each other.

00:48:52An alliance between

00:48:53our two clans

00:48:54would benefit

00:48:55the sacred dimension

00:48:56as well.

00:48:57Selena,

00:48:58don't let personal grudges

00:48:59interfere with

00:48:59the bigger picture.

00:49:00I gently set down

00:49:02my wine glass.

00:49:03You're lecturing me

00:49:03about the bigger picture?

00:49:05Ryan frowned.

00:49:06I lifted a hand

00:49:07and the attendant

00:49:08behind me

00:49:09unfurled a black

00:49:10and gold contract scroll.

00:49:11It was covered

00:49:12with the markings

00:49:13of moon-tier crystal veins.

00:49:15My voice wasn't loud.

00:49:16Everyone heard it clearly.

00:49:18The Sacred Dominion

00:49:19Commodum controls

00:49:2080% of the continent's

00:49:21moon-tier crystal mines.

00:49:22Last year,

00:49:2370% of the Silvermoon

00:49:24Wolfpack's military supplies,

00:49:26potions,

00:49:26and room array maintenance

00:49:27came from

00:49:28Sacred Dominion resources.

00:49:31Ryan,

00:49:32you're standing

00:49:33on my territory,

00:49:34living off my mines,

00:49:36and still expecting me

00:49:38to prioritize

00:49:39your bigger picture.

00:49:45Ryan's expression

00:49:46instantly dartened.

00:49:48For the first time,

00:49:49panic flashed

00:49:50Kostot Ivy's face.

00:49:51She grabbed Kai-os' hand.

00:49:53Kai-os,

00:49:54say something!

00:49:54Mother,

00:49:55do you really

00:49:56have to do this?

00:49:57Kairos looked at me,

00:49:58and for the first time,

00:49:59there was anger

00:50:00in his eyes.

00:50:01Do what?

00:50:03I asked.

00:50:04Expose the truth

00:50:05in front of everyone?

00:50:07Or refuse to hand over

00:50:08the life's work

00:50:09I've built

00:50:09to my enemy's daughter?

00:50:11Kairos lowered his voice.

00:50:14Ivy isn't her mother.

00:50:16Neither are you me.

00:50:17You don't have the right

00:50:18to forgive them

00:50:19on my behalf.

00:50:19I fixed my gaze on him.

00:50:21The moment those words

00:50:22left my mouth,

00:50:23the last trace of hesitation

00:50:24vanished from Kairos' face.

00:50:26He took Ivy's hand

00:50:26and turned to face the guests.

00:50:28If Mother refuses

00:50:28to give us her blessing,

00:50:29then I'll make

00:50:30the announcement myself.

00:50:31I, Kairos,

00:50:32as the heir of the sacred

00:50:32Dimangin,

00:50:33choose Ivy

00:50:33as my blood oath mate.

00:50:35From this night forward,

00:50:36anyone who humiliates her

00:50:37becomes my enemy.

00:50:38The entire hall fell silent.

00:50:39A flash of triumph

00:50:40crossed Elena's eyes.

00:50:41Even Ryan slowly

00:50:42looked pleased.

00:50:42Kairos,

00:50:43I knew you wouldn't

00:50:43abandon me.

00:50:44Crying,

00:50:45Ivy threw herself

00:50:46into Kairos' arms.

00:50:47I watched them

00:50:47and suddenly felt tired,

00:50:49not heartbroken,

00:50:50just tired of it all.

00:50:52I raised my hand.

00:50:53Bring me the blood oath scroll.

00:50:56Hope lit up

00:50:56in At Kairos' eyes.

00:50:58Mother,

00:50:58you agree?

00:50:59I smiled.

00:51:00Of course.

00:51:02Before Ivy

00:51:02could even breathe

00:51:03a sigh of relief,

00:51:04I finished the sentence.

00:51:05I agree to sever

00:51:06the blood oath

00:51:07between us

00:51:07as mother and son.

00:51:09The smile on

00:51:10Kairos' face frozen.

00:51:11What did you say?

00:51:12An attendant

00:51:13brought over

00:51:14a black parchment scroll.

00:51:15It was no

00:51:16ordinary contract.

00:51:18Someone recognized it,

00:51:19their voice trembling.

00:51:23The soul-severation

00:51:24blood oath.

00:51:25Once it's signed,

00:51:26blood ties,

00:51:27inheritance rights,

00:51:27and family protection

00:51:28are all permanently

00:51:29cut off.

00:51:41On the day of my wedding,

00:51:43my mother tore

00:51:43my wedding gown apart

00:51:44in front of every

00:51:45noble present.

00:51:46Raising the moon

00:51:47goddess Seppler high,

00:51:48she brought it

00:51:49crashing down

00:51:50toward me,

00:51:51sending me sprawling

00:51:52across the ground.

00:51:54Selina is not worthy

00:51:55of becoming

00:51:56the new

00:51:56alpha king's bride.

00:51:57A deathly silence

00:51:58fell over the hall.

00:51:59I was the rejected

00:52:00silver-eyed daughter

00:52:01of the silver moon wolf pack.

00:52:02Today,

00:52:03as long as I completed

00:52:04the blood oath

00:52:05with the newly crowned

00:52:06alpha king,

00:52:06Ryan,

00:52:07I would become

00:52:07his Luna,

00:52:08the queen of all werewolves.

00:52:09But my biological mother,

00:52:11Hera,

00:52:12the most revered

00:52:13high priestess

00:52:14of the Temple of Light,

00:52:15publicly declared,

00:52:17Last night,

00:52:18she seduced Karen,

00:52:20the shadow

00:52:20Pletha clan's

00:52:21holy knight,

00:52:22and her sister

00:52:23Elena's fiancée.

00:52:24The crowd

00:52:25instantly erupted.

00:52:26I knew those

00:52:27silver eyes were filthy.

00:52:28She actually

00:52:30dared to betray

00:52:31the alpha king?

00:52:32Drive her out

00:52:33of the silver moon pack!

00:52:35A chill spread

00:52:36through my entire body

00:52:38as I stared

00:52:39at my mother.

00:52:41What are you talking about?

00:52:43Last night,

00:52:44she had personally

00:52:45handed me a cup

00:52:46of blessed potion.

00:52:48She had smiled

00:52:49and said,

00:52:49Drink this,

00:52:51and the moon goddess

00:52:52will bless you

00:52:53and Ryan

00:52:53with a bond

00:52:54that can never

00:52:55be broken.

00:52:55But when I woke up,

00:52:57the man lying

00:52:58beside me

00:52:58wasn't Ryan.

00:52:59It was at Karen.

00:53:01Both of us

00:53:01had been drugged.

00:53:02I wanted to explain,

00:53:03but Karen had already

00:53:04thrown on his cloak.

00:53:05His eyes were filled

00:53:06with nothing but disgust.

00:53:09Selina,

00:53:09I've never met a woman

00:53:10as shameless as you.

00:53:11You'd even go after

00:53:12your own sister's fiancée!

00:53:13Then Karen staggered

00:53:14backward

00:53:15until he reached

00:53:16Elena's side.

00:53:17His eyes were red

00:53:18as he looked at her.

00:53:19I've been tainted.

00:53:22You're so pure.

00:53:24I no longer deserve

00:53:26to marry you.

00:53:27Below the altar,

00:53:28Ryan stood motionless.

00:53:30He had once told me

00:53:31that even if the entire world

00:53:33despised my silver eyes,

00:53:34he would still marry me.

00:53:37But now,

00:53:38the way he looked at me

00:53:39was no different

00:53:40from looking at

00:53:41something filthy.

00:53:42I rushed down

00:53:44from the altar

00:53:44and grabbed his hand.

00:53:46Ryan,

00:53:47someone set me up.

00:53:48There was something

00:53:49wrong with that potion.

00:53:50It was Mother!

00:53:51Enough!

00:53:53He shook me off,

00:53:55his voice horsey.

00:53:57Selina,

00:53:58I used to think

00:53:58you were just unlucky.

00:54:00Now I realize

00:54:01you genuinely disgust me.

00:54:07I froze where I stood.

00:54:11Elena burst into tears

00:54:12and buried herself

00:54:13in our mother's arms.

00:54:14She had a pair

00:54:15of noble golden eyes.

00:54:17Pale,

00:54:17delicate,

00:54:18and fragile.

00:54:19She looked like

00:54:19the most innocent,

00:54:20saintly continent.

00:54:22Sister,

00:54:23I know you've always

00:54:23been jealous of me,

00:54:24but Karen is my fiancé.

00:54:26My mother gently wiped away

00:54:27her tears before walking

00:54:28over to me.

00:54:29Then,

00:54:29with her own hands,

00:54:30she removed the silver moon crest

00:54:32pinned to my chest.

00:54:33It was the symbol

00:54:34of a wolf bride's status.

00:54:35And in all 15 years

00:54:36of my life,

00:54:37it was the only thing

00:54:38that had ever truly

00:54:39acknowledged my existence.

00:54:40I stared at her.

00:54:42Why?

00:54:42She leaned close

00:54:43close to my ear,

00:54:44her voice so low

00:54:45that only I could hear it.

00:54:47Because Elena

00:54:48is far more suitable

00:54:49to be Luna.

00:54:51She has golden eyes.

00:54:53You're nothing but a stain.

00:54:56In that moment,

00:54:58I finally understood.

00:55:00This wasn't an accident.

00:55:02It wasn't a misunderstanding.

00:55:03It was a trap

00:55:04they had prepared long ago.

00:55:06That moment,

00:55:07Elena suddenly wiped away

00:55:08her tears

00:55:08and stepped forward.

00:55:09The position of Luna

00:55:10of the silver moon wolf pack

00:55:11cannot remain vacant.

00:55:13It would only make us

00:55:13the laughingstock of everyone.

00:55:15Since my sister committed

00:55:16such a disgraceful offense,

00:55:17let me atone

00:55:18for her sins in her place.

00:55:19Ryan,

00:55:20if you're willing,

00:55:21I can complete this blood oath

00:55:22in my sister's stead.

00:55:23Ryan turned around

00:55:25and placed the blood crown,

00:55:26the symbol of the queen,

00:55:28upon Elena's head.

00:55:29The entire hall

00:55:30erupted in cheers.

00:55:32My sister wore my wedding gown,

00:55:34held my Grimm's hand,

00:55:36and stood in the place

00:55:37that should have been mine.

00:55:38And I was publicly sentenced

00:55:40by my own mother.

00:55:41At Selina,

00:55:41silver eyes

00:55:42has defiled the blood oath,

00:55:43stripped her of the wolf crest

00:55:44and exiled her

00:55:45to the forbidden rift.

00:55:46She shall never return.

00:55:47As the temple knights

00:55:48dragged me down from the altar,

00:55:49Elena glanced at me,

00:55:50tears still lingued on her face,

00:55:51but the corners of her lips

00:55:52slowly curled forward.

00:55:56Fifteen years later,

00:55:57at the inheritance bankery

00:55:58of the sacred dominion can forge.

00:56:00Nables and power holders

00:56:01from all twelve clans

00:56:02gathered witheneath one roof.

00:56:03They knelt before

00:56:04my dragonbone throne,

00:56:05competing to present

00:56:06moon tear crystal mines,

00:56:07territorial deeds,

00:56:08and bloodline oves as tribute.

00:56:10None of them knew

00:56:11that the empress

00:56:12of the sacred dominion,

00:56:13the woman who controlled

00:56:15eighty percent

00:56:16of the continent's

00:56:16moon tear crystal mines,

00:56:19was the same

00:56:20silver-eyed outcast

00:56:22they had once

00:56:22trampled into the mud.

00:56:25Until my adopted son,

00:56:27Kyaris,

00:56:28walked into the grand hall

00:56:29holding a young woman's hand.

00:56:31She wore a silver-white

00:56:32formal gown.

00:56:33Her golden eyes

00:56:34shunned brightly,

00:56:35and pride radiated

00:56:37from her face.

00:56:38Her name was Ivy,

00:56:40Elena's daughter,

00:56:41and she bore

00:56:41the exact same face

00:56:42her mother had

00:56:43fifteen years ago.

00:56:44Kyos stopped before me,

00:56:45his tone unwavering.

00:56:46Mother,

00:56:47Ivy will become

00:56:48my blood oath mate.

00:56:49If you approve,

00:56:49we'll announce

00:56:50our engagement tonight.

00:56:51Every guest in the hall

00:56:52held their breath.

00:56:54Ivy lifted her chin

00:56:55slightly,

00:56:56waiting for me

00:56:56to bestow that honor

00:56:57upon her.

00:56:58She was the golden-eyed

00:56:59saint-christ

00:57:00of the Silvermoon Wolfpack,

00:57:02Ryan's most cherished

00:57:03daughter and Hera's

00:57:04favorite granddaughter.

00:57:05She was used to people

00:57:06lowering their heads

00:57:07the moment they saw her,

00:57:09but she had forgotten

00:57:10one thing.

00:57:10This was not the

00:57:11Silvermoon Wolfpack.

00:57:12This was the sacred

00:57:13dominion conforming.

00:57:15This was the throne

00:57:16I had clawed my way

00:57:17towards for fifteen years,

00:57:19inch by inch,

00:57:21through the bones

00:57:22and corpses

00:57:22of the forbidden rift.

00:57:24I looked at that face

00:57:25and remembered

00:57:26the wedding gown

00:57:26that had been torn apart

00:57:27fifteen years ago.

00:57:28I remembered the poison

00:57:30my mother had handed me.

00:57:31I remembered the cold look

00:57:32in Ryan's eyes.

00:57:34Then I set down

00:57:34my wine glass.

00:57:35The bass struck

00:57:36the dragonbone armrest.

00:57:37The sound was not loud,

00:57:39yet the entire hall

00:57:39fell silence in an instant.

00:57:41I do not approve.

00:57:42I said,

00:57:43Kairos froze.

00:57:44Mother?

00:57:45The smile on Ivy's face

00:57:47stiffened.

00:57:47I raised my eyes to her.

00:57:49You will never become

00:57:50the mate of the

00:57:50sacred dominion's heir,

00:57:51not in this lifetime.

00:57:52The crowd instantly

00:57:54exploded into an uproar.

00:57:55Ivy's eyes reddened at once.

00:57:58Why?

00:57:58What makes me unworthy?

00:58:01I looked at her

00:58:02and smiled.

00:58:03Because the thing

00:58:04your mother stole

00:58:05fifteen years ago

00:58:06is finally going

00:58:07to be returned today.

00:58:10Ivy's face

00:58:11went completely pale.

00:58:13Kairos stepped

00:58:13in front of her,

00:58:14his brows drawn

00:58:15tightly together.

00:58:16Mother,

00:58:17Ivy didn't do

00:58:18anything wrong.

00:58:18The grudges of

00:58:19the previous generation

00:58:20shouldn't fall

00:58:20on her shoulders.

00:58:21I looked at him.

00:58:23Do you even know

00:58:24what happened fifteen years ago?

00:58:25Ivy spoke before he-

00:58:27My mother told me

00:58:27everything!

00:58:28Fifteen years ago

00:58:29you betrayed

00:58:30Alpha King Ryan

00:58:31and seduced Karen,

00:58:32my mother's fiancée.

00:58:33You were exiled

00:58:33because you committed

00:58:34a crime!

00:58:35She bit her lip,

00:58:36looking as though

00:58:37I were the one

00:58:37bullying her.

00:58:38But my mother

00:58:39always defended you.

00:58:40She said you were

00:58:41just too jealous

00:58:42of her.

00:58:43Muted whispers

00:58:44spread throughout

00:58:45the hall.

00:58:46Some of the older

00:58:46nobles lowered

00:58:47their heads.

00:58:48Back then,

00:58:49they had all stood

00:58:50with you at the

00:58:50moon goddess's altar.

00:58:52They had watched

00:58:52my wedding gown

00:58:53in green torn apart

00:58:54and they had watched

00:58:55Elena put on

00:58:55my bridal dress.

00:58:57They knew about

00:58:57that scant,

00:58:58but they had never

00:58:59cared about the truth

00:59:00because the stories

00:59:01written by the victors

00:59:02were always clean

00:59:03and respectable.

00:59:04Before I could speak,

00:59:05the doors of the hall

00:59:05were suddenly pushed open.

00:59:07Ivy wasn't wrong.

00:59:08Everyone turned around.

00:59:10Elena had arrived.

00:59:11Fifteen years had passed

00:59:12yet she was still

00:59:13breathtakingly beautiful

00:59:14in that fragile way

00:59:15of hers.

00:59:16Her golden hair

00:59:16was pinned up

00:59:17behind her head

00:59:17and the royal crest

00:59:18of the silver moon

00:59:19wolf pack's luna

00:59:20was embroidered

00:59:21on her white cloak.

00:59:22Behind her stood

00:59:22Alpha King Ryan

00:59:23and Karen,

00:59:24the holy knight

00:59:25of the shadow leopard clan.

00:59:26Every person

00:59:27who had destroyed

00:59:28my life fifteen years ago

00:59:29had finally appeared

00:59:30before me once again.

00:59:32Elena's eyes stiffened

00:59:33for a second second

00:59:34the moment she saw me.

00:59:35Sister,

00:59:37I never imagined

00:59:38the Empress

00:59:39of the Sacred Dominion

00:59:40would turn out

00:59:41to be you.

00:59:42She called me sister

00:59:43but her tone

00:59:45sounded more like

00:59:46a reminder

00:59:46to everyone present

00:59:48that I had once

00:59:49been nothing more

00:59:50than the filthy

00:59:51silver-eyed outcast

00:59:52of the silver moon

00:59:53wolf pack.

00:59:55Caius frowned.

00:59:57Mother,

00:59:57you know them?

00:59:58I didn't answer.

01:00:00Ryan stepped forward.

01:00:01He still carried

01:00:02the same arrogance

01:00:03of an Alpha King

01:00:04though the sharpness

01:00:05in his golden eyes

01:00:06was no longer

01:00:06what it had been.

01:00:08He looked at me

01:00:09and remained silent

01:00:10for a long moment.

01:00:13Selina.

01:00:17Hearing that name

01:00:17come from his lips

01:00:18almost made me laugh.

01:00:21Fifteen years ago

01:00:22he had used that name

01:00:22when he told me

01:00:23he loved me.

01:00:24Later,

01:00:25he had used the same voice

01:00:26to say that I disgusted him

01:00:27and now he wanted

01:00:28to use that name again

01:00:29pretending there were still

01:00:30unresolved feelings

01:00:31between us.

01:00:32I spoke calmly.

01:00:34Your majesty,

01:00:35this is a private banquet

01:00:36of the sacred

01:00:37Domanian consortium.

01:00:39You were not invited.

01:00:47Sister,

01:00:47if you're angry with me

01:00:49then take it out on me.

01:00:51Why make things

01:00:52difficult for Ivy?

01:00:54She simply fell in love

01:00:55with Caius.

01:00:57How interesting.

01:00:58I looked at her.

01:01:01Fifteen years ago

01:01:02you also claimed

01:01:03that you had simply

01:01:04fallen in love with Ryan.

01:01:06Karen suddenly spoke.

01:01:08His voice called.

01:01:09Selina,

01:01:09what happened back then

01:01:11is already in the past.

01:01:12I turned to him.

01:01:14Of course it is.

01:01:15For you.

01:01:16After you woke up

01:01:17all you had to do

01:01:18was call me shameless.

01:01:20But I had to spend

01:01:21fifteen years

01:01:22in the Forbibbon Rift

01:01:23carrying the crime

01:01:24you all forced onto me.

01:01:26Karen's throat barbed.

01:01:27There was something

01:01:28complicated in his eyes.

01:01:29Pain,

01:01:30conflict,

01:01:31and a belated trace

01:01:32of doubt.

01:01:33But I didn't need it.

01:01:34Belated doubt

01:01:35was just like

01:01:36belated love.

01:01:37Both were worthless.

01:01:39Ryan took a deep breath.

01:01:41We didn't come here today

01:01:42to dig up the past.

01:01:44Ivy and Caius

01:01:45love each other.

01:01:46An alliance

01:01:47between our two clans

01:01:48would benefit

01:01:49the sacred dimension

01:01:50as well.

01:01:51Selina,

01:01:52don't let personal grudges

01:01:53interfere with the bigger picture.

01:01:54I gently set down

01:01:56my wine glass.

01:01:57You're lecturing me

01:01:57about the bigger picture?

01:01:59Ryan frowned.

01:02:00I lifted a hand

01:02:01and the attendant

01:02:02behind me

01:02:03unfurled a black

01:02:04and gold contract scroll.

01:02:05It was covered

01:02:06with the markings

01:02:07of moon-tier crystal veins.

01:02:09My voice wasn't loud.

01:02:10Everyone heard it clearly.

01:02:12The Sacred Dominion

01:02:13Commodum controls

01:02:14eighty percent

01:02:14of the continent's

01:02:15moon-tier crystal mines.

01:02:16Last year,

01:02:17seventy percent

01:02:18of the Silvermoon Wolfpack's

01:02:19military supplies,

01:02:20potions,

01:02:20and room array maintenance

01:02:21came from

01:02:22Sacred Dominion resources.

01:02:25Ryan,

01:02:26you're standing

01:02:27on my territory,

01:02:28living off my mines,

01:02:30and still expecting me

01:02:32to prioritize

01:02:33your bigger picture.

01:02:39Ryan's expression

01:02:40instantly dartened.

01:02:42For the first time,

01:02:43panic flashed

01:02:44across Dot Ivy's face.

01:02:45She grabbed Caius' hand.

01:02:47Caius,

01:02:48say something!

01:02:48Mother,

01:02:49do you really

01:02:50have to do this?

01:02:51Caius looked at me,

01:02:52and for the first time,

01:02:53there was anger

01:02:54in his eyes.

01:02:55Do what?

01:02:57I asked.

01:02:58Expose the truth

01:02:59in front of everyone?

01:03:01Or refuse to hand over

01:03:02the life's work

01:03:03I've built

01:03:03to my enemy's daughter?

01:03:05Caius lowered his voice.

01:03:08Ivy isn't her mother.

01:03:10Neither are you me.

01:03:11You don't have the right

01:03:12to forgive them

01:03:13on my behalf.

01:03:13I fixed my gaze on him.

01:03:15The moment those words

01:03:16left my mouth,

01:03:17the last trace of hesitation

01:03:18vanished from Caius' face.

01:03:20He took Ivy's hand

01:03:20and turned to face the guests.

01:03:22If Mother refuses

01:03:22to give us her blessing,

01:03:23then I'll make

01:03:24the announcement myself.

01:03:25I, Caius,

01:03:26as the heir of the sacred

01:03:26Dimangin,

01:03:27choose Ivy

01:03:27as my blood oath mate.

01:03:29From this night forward,

01:03:30anyone who humiliates her

01:03:31becomes my enemy.

01:03:32The entire hall fell silent.

01:03:33A flash of triumph

01:03:34crossed Elena's eyes.

01:03:35Even Ryan slowly

01:03:36looked pleased.

01:03:36Caius, I knew you

01:03:37wouldn't abandon me.

01:03:38Crying,

01:03:39Ivy threw herself

01:03:40into Caius' arms.

01:03:41I watched them

01:03:41and suddenly felt tired,

01:03:43not heartbroken,

01:03:44just tired of it all.

01:03:46I raised my hand.

01:03:47Bring me the blood oath scroll.

01:03:50Hope lit up

01:03:50in At-Kairos' eyes.

01:03:52Mother, you agree?

01:03:53I smiled.

01:03:54Of course.

01:03:56Before Ivy

01:03:56could even breathe

01:03:57a sigh of relief,

01:03:58I finished the sentence.

01:03:59I agree to sever

01:04:00the blood oath

01:04:01between us

01:04:01as mother and son.

01:04:03The smile on

01:04:04Caius' face frozen.

01:04:05What did you say?

01:04:06An attendant brought over

01:04:08a black parchment scroll.

01:04:09It was no ordinary contract.

01:04:12Someone recognized it,

01:04:13their voice trembling.

01:04:17The soul-severation

01:04:18blood oath.

01:04:19Once it's signed,

01:04:20blood ties,

01:04:21inheritance rights,

01:04:21and family protection

01:04:22are all permanently cut off.

01:04:35On the day of my wedding,

01:04:37my mother tore

01:04:37my wedding gown apart

01:04:38in front of every noble present.

01:04:40Raising the moon goddess

01:04:41Seppler high,

01:04:42she brought it

01:04:43crashing down toward me,

01:04:45sending me sprawling

01:04:46across the ground.

01:04:48Selina is not worthy

01:04:49of becoming

01:04:50the new alpha king's bride.

01:04:51A deathly silence

01:04:52fell over the hall.

01:04:53I was the rejected

01:04:54silver-eyed daughter

01:04:55of the silver moon wolf pack.

01:04:56Today,

01:04:57as long as I completed

01:04:58the blood oath

01:04:59with the newly crowned

01:05:00alpha king, Ryan,

01:05:01I would become his Luna,

01:05:02the queen of all werewolves.

01:05:03But my biological mother,

01:05:05Hera,

01:05:06the most revered

01:05:07high priestess

01:05:08of the Temple of Light,

01:05:09publicly declared,

01:05:11Last night,

01:05:12she seduced Karen,

01:05:14the shadow pletha clan's

01:05:15holy knight,

01:05:16and her sister

01:05:17Elena's fiancée.

01:05:18The crowd

01:05:19instantly erupted.

01:05:20I knew those silver eyes

01:05:22were filthy.

01:05:23She actually dared

01:05:24to betray the alpha king?

01:05:26Drive her out of the

01:05:27silver moon pack!

01:05:29A chill spread through

01:05:31my entire body

01:05:32as I stared at my mother.

01:05:35What are you talking about?

01:05:37Last night,

01:05:38she had personally

01:05:39handed me a cup

01:05:40of blessed potion.

01:05:42She had smiled and said,

01:05:43Drink this,

01:05:45and the moon goddess

01:05:46will bless you and Ryan

01:05:47with a bond

01:05:48that can never be broken.

01:05:50But when I woke up,

01:05:51the man lying beside me

01:05:52wasn't Ryan.

01:05:53It was at Karen.

01:05:55Both of us had been drugged.

01:05:56I wanted to explain,

01:05:57but Karen had already

01:05:58thrown on his cloak.

01:05:59His eyes were filled

01:06:00with nothing but disgust.

01:06:03Selina,

01:06:03I've never met a woman

01:06:04as shameless as you.

01:06:05You'd even go after

01:06:06your own sister's fiancée!

01:06:07Then Karen staggered backward

01:06:09until he reached

01:06:10Elena's side.

01:06:11His eyes were red

01:06:12as he looked at her.

01:06:14I've been tainted.

01:06:16You're so pure.

01:06:18I no longer deserve

01:06:20to marry you.

01:06:21Below the altar,

01:06:22Ryan stood motionless.

01:06:24He had once told me

01:06:25that even if the entire world

01:06:27despised my silver eyes,

01:06:28he would still marry me.

01:06:31But now,

01:06:32the way he looked at me

01:06:33was no different

01:06:34from looking at

01:06:35something filthy.

01:06:36I rushed down

01:06:38from the altar

01:06:38and grabbed his hand.

01:06:40Ryan,

01:06:41someone set me up.

01:06:42There was something wrong

01:06:43with that potion.

01:06:44It was Mother!

01:06:45Enough!

01:06:47He shook me off,

01:06:49his voice horsey.

01:06:51Selina,

01:06:52I used to think

01:06:52you were just unlucky.

01:06:54Now I realize

01:06:55you genuinely disgust me.

01:07:01I froze where I stood.

01:07:05Elena burst into tears

01:07:06and buried herself

01:07:07in our mother's arms.

01:07:08She had a pair

01:07:09of noble golden eyes.

01:07:11Pale,

01:07:11delicate,

01:07:12and fragile.

01:07:13She looked like

01:07:13the most innocent,

01:07:14saintly continent.

01:07:16Sister,

01:07:16I know you've always

01:07:17been jealous of me,

01:07:18but Karen is my fiancé.

01:07:20My mother gently

01:07:21wiped away her tears

01:07:22before walking over to me.

01:07:23Then,

01:07:23with her own hands,

01:07:24she removed the silver moon crest

01:07:26pinned to my chest.

01:07:27It was the symbol

01:07:28of a wolf bride's status.

01:07:29And in all 15 years

01:07:30of my life,

01:07:31it was the only thing

01:07:32that had ever truly

01:07:33acknowledged my existence.

01:07:34I stared at her.

01:07:36Why?

01:07:36She leaned close

01:07:37to my ear,

01:07:38her voice so low

01:07:39that only I could hear it.

01:07:41Because Elena

01:07:42is far more suitable

01:07:43to be Luna.

01:07:45She has golden eyes.

01:07:47You're nothing

01:07:48but a stain.

01:07:50In that moment,

01:07:52I finally understood.

01:07:54This wasn't an accident.

01:07:56It wasn't a misunderstanding.

01:07:57It was a trap

01:07:58they had prepared

01:07:59long ago.

01:08:00That moment,

01:08:01Elena suddenly wiped away

01:08:02her tears

01:08:02and stepped forward.

01:08:03The position of Luna

01:08:04of the silver moon wolf pack

01:08:05cannot remain vacant.

01:08:07It would only make us

01:08:07the laughingstock of everyone.

01:08:09Since my sister committed

01:08:10such a disgraceful offense,

01:08:11let me atone

01:08:12for her sins in her place.

01:08:13Ryan,

01:08:14if you're willing,

01:08:15I can complete this blood oath

01:08:16in my sister's stead.

01:08:17Ryan turned around

01:08:19and placed the blood crown,

01:08:20the symbol of the queen,

01:08:22upon Elena's head.

01:08:23The entire hall

01:08:24erupted in cheers.

01:08:26My sister wore my wedding gown,

01:08:28held my Grimm's hand,

01:08:30and stood in the place

01:08:31that should have been mine.

01:08:32And I was publicly sentenced

01:08:34by my own mother.

01:08:35At Selina,

01:08:35silver eyes

01:08:36has defiled the blood oath.

01:08:37Strip her of the wolf crest

01:08:38and exiled her

01:08:39to the forbidden rift.

01:08:40She shall never return.

01:08:41As the temple knights

01:08:42dragged me down from the altar,

01:08:43Elena glanced at me,

01:08:44tears still lingued on her face,

01:08:45but the corners of her lips

01:08:46slowly curled forward.

01:08:50Fifteen years later,

01:08:51at the inheritance bankery

01:08:52of the sacred dominion Conforge,

01:08:54nables and power holders

01:08:55from all twelve clans

01:08:56gathered withneath one roof.

01:08:57They knelt before

01:08:58my dragon bone throne,

01:08:59competing to present

01:09:00moon tear crystal mines,

01:09:01territorial deeds,

01:09:02and bloodline oves as tribute.

01:09:04None of them knew

01:09:05that the empress

01:09:06of the sacred dominion,

01:09:08the woman who controlled

01:09:09eighty percent of the continent's

01:09:10moon tear crystal mines,

01:09:13was the same silver-eyed outcast

01:09:16they had once trampled

01:09:17into the mud.

01:09:19until my adopted son,

01:09:21Kyaris,

01:09:21walked into the grand hall

01:09:23holding a young woman's hand.

01:09:25She wore a silver-white formal gown.

01:09:27Her golden eyes shunned brightly,

01:09:29and pride radiated from her face.

01:09:32Her name was Ivy,

01:09:34Elena's daughter,

01:09:34and she bore the exact same face

01:09:36her mother had fifteen years ago.

01:09:38Kyos stopped before me,

01:09:39his tone unwavering.

01:09:40Mother,

01:09:41Ivy will become my blood oath mate.

01:09:43If you approve,

01:09:43we'll announce our engagement tonight.

01:09:45Every guest in the hall

01:09:46held their breath.

01:09:48Ivy lifted her chin slightly,

01:09:50waiting for me

01:09:50to bestow that honor upon her.

01:09:52She was the golden-eyed

01:09:53Saint Chris

01:09:54of the Silvermoon Wolfpack,

01:09:56Ryan's most cherished daughter

01:09:57and Hera's favorite granddaughter.

01:09:59She was used to people

01:10:00lowering their heads

01:10:01the moment they saw her,

01:10:03but she had forgotten one thing.

01:10:04This was not

01:10:05the Silvermoon Wolfpack.

01:10:06This was the sacred dominion

01:10:08from Forty.

01:10:09This was the throne

01:10:10I had clawed my way towards

01:10:12for fifteen years,

01:10:13inch by inch,

01:10:15through the bones and corpses

01:10:16of the forbidden rift.

01:10:18I looked at that face

01:10:19and remembered the wedding gown

01:10:20that had been torn apart

01:10:21fifteen years ago.

01:10:22I remembered the poison

01:10:24my mother had handed me.

01:10:25I remembered the cold look

01:10:26in Ryan's eyes.

01:10:28Then I set down my wine glass.

01:10:29The bass struck

01:10:30the dragon bone armrest.

01:10:31The sound was not loud,

01:10:33yet the entire hall

01:10:33fell silence in an instant.

01:10:35I do not approve.

01:10:37I said,

01:10:37Kyros froze.

01:10:38Mother?

01:10:39The smile on Ivy's face stiffened.

01:10:41I raised my eyes to her.

01:10:43You will never become

01:10:44the mate of the sacred dominion's heir.

01:10:45Not in this lifetime.

01:10:46The crowd instantly exploded

01:10:48into an uproar.

01:10:50Ivy's eyes reddened at once.

01:10:52Why?

01:10:52What makes me unworthy?

01:10:55I looked at her and smiled.

01:10:57Because the thing

01:10:58your mother stole

01:10:59fifteen years ago

01:11:00is finally going to be

01:11:02returned today.

01:11:04Ivy's face went

01:11:05completely pale.

01:11:07Kyos stepped in front of her,

01:11:08his brows drawn tightly together.

01:11:10Mother,

01:11:10Ivy didn't do anything wrong.

01:11:12The grudges of the previous generation

01:11:14shouldn't fall on her shoulders.

01:11:15I looked at him.

01:11:17Do you even know

01:11:18what happened fifteen years ago?

01:11:19Ivy spoke before he-

01:11:21My mother told me everything!

01:11:22Fifteen years ago,

01:11:23you betrayed Alpha King Ryan

01:11:25and seduced Karen,

01:11:26my mother's fiancée.

01:11:27You were exiled

01:11:27because you committed a crime!

01:11:29She bit her lip,

01:11:30looking as though

01:11:31I were the one bullying her.

01:11:32But my mother

01:11:33always defended you.

01:11:34She said you were

01:11:35just too jealous of her.

01:11:37Muted whispers spread

01:11:38throughout the hall.

01:11:40Some of the older nobles

01:11:41lowered their heads.

01:11:43Back then,

01:11:43they had all stood

01:11:44with you at the moon goddess's altar.

01:11:46They had watched

01:11:46my wedding gown

01:11:47in dream torn apart,

01:11:48and they had watched

01:11:49Elena put on my bridal dress.

01:11:50They knew about that scant,

01:11:52but they had never cared

01:11:53about the truth,

01:11:54because the stories

01:11:55written by the victors

01:11:56were always clean

01:11:57and respectable.

01:11:58Before I could speak,

01:11:59the doors of the hall

01:11:59were suddenly pushed open.

01:12:01Ivy wasn't wrong.

01:12:02Everyone turned around.

01:12:04Elena had arrived.

01:12:05Fifteen years had passed,

01:12:06yet she was still

01:12:07breathtakingly beautiful

01:12:08in that fragile way of hers.

01:12:10Her golden hair

01:12:10was pinned up

01:12:11behind her head,

01:12:12and the royal crest

01:12:12of the silver moon

01:12:13wolf Pax Luna

01:12:14was embroidered

01:12:15on her white cloak.

01:12:16Behind her stood

01:12:16Alpha King Ryan,

01:12:18and Karen,

01:12:18the holy knight

01:12:19of the shadow leopard clan.

01:12:20Every person

01:12:21who had destroyed

01:12:22my life fifteen years ago

01:12:23had finally appeared

01:12:24before me once again.

01:12:26Elena's eyes stiffened

01:12:27for a second second

01:12:28the moment she saw me.

01:12:29Sister,

01:12:31I never imagined

01:12:32the armpress

01:12:33of the sacred dominion

01:12:34would turn out

01:12:35to be you.

01:12:36She called me sister,

01:12:38but her tone

01:12:39sounded more like

01:12:40a reminder

01:12:40to everyone present

01:12:42that I had once

01:12:43been nothing more

01:12:44than the filthy,

01:12:45silver-eyed outcast

01:12:46of the silver moon wolf pack.

01:12:49Caius frowned.

01:12:50Mother,

01:12:51you know them?

01:12:52I didn't answer.

01:12:54Ryan stepped forward.

01:12:55He still carried

01:12:56the same arrogance

01:12:57of an Alpha King,

01:12:58though the sharpness

01:12:59in his golden eyes

01:13:00was no longer

01:13:00what it had been.

01:13:02He looked at me

01:13:03and remained silent

01:13:04for a long moment.

01:13:07Selina.

01:13:11Hearing that name

01:13:11come from his lips

01:13:12almost made me laugh.

01:13:15Fifteen years ago

01:13:16he had used that name

01:13:16when he told me

01:13:17he loved me.

01:13:18Later he had used

01:13:19the same voice

01:13:20to say that I disgusted him.

01:13:21And now he wanted

01:13:22to use that name again

01:13:23pretending there were

01:13:24still unresolved feelings

01:13:25between us.

01:13:26I spoke calmly.

01:13:28Your Majesty,

01:13:29this is a private banquet

01:13:30of the Sacred

01:13:31Domanian Consortium.

01:13:33You were not invited.

01:13:40Sister,

01:13:41if you're angry with me,

01:13:43then take it out on me.

01:13:45Why make things

01:13:46difficult for Ivy?

01:13:48She simply fell in love

01:13:49with Kairus.

01:13:51How interesting.

01:13:52I looked at her.

01:13:55Fifteen years ago

01:13:56you also claimed

01:13:57that you had simply

01:13:58fallen in love

01:13:58with Ryan.

01:14:00Karen suddenly spoke.

01:14:02His voice called.

01:14:03Selina.

01:14:04What happened back then

01:14:05is already in the past.

01:14:06I turned to him.

01:14:08Of course it is.

01:14:09For you.

01:14:10After you woke up

01:14:11all you had to do

01:14:12was call me shameless.

01:14:14But I had to spend

01:14:15fifteen years

01:14:16in the Forbibbon Rift

01:14:17carrying the crime

01:14:18you all forced onto me.

01:14:20Karen's throat bobbed.

01:14:21There was something

01:14:22complicated in his eyes.

01:14:23Pain,

01:14:24conflict,

01:14:25and a belated trace of doubt.

01:14:27But I didn't need it.

01:14:28Belated doubt

01:14:29was just like belated love.

01:14:31Both were worthless.

01:14:33Ryan took a deep breath.

01:14:35We didn't come here today

01:14:36to dig up the past.

01:14:38Ivy and Kai-itis

01:14:39love each other.

01:14:40An alliance between

01:14:41our two clans

01:14:42would benefit

01:14:43the sacred dimension as well.

01:14:45Selina,

01:14:46don't let personal grudges

01:14:47interfere with the bigger picture.

01:14:48I gently set down

01:14:50my wine glass.

01:14:51You're lecturing me

01:14:51about the bigger picture.

01:14:53Ryan frowned.

01:14:54I lifted a hand

01:14:55and the attendant behind me

01:14:57unfurled a black and gold

01:14:58contract scroll.

01:14:59It was covered

01:15:00with the markings

01:15:01of moon-tier crystal veins.

01:15:03My voice wasn't loud.

01:15:04Everyone heard it clearly.

01:15:06The sacred dominion

01:15:07commordum controls 80%

01:15:08of the continent's

01:15:09moon-tier crystal mines.

01:15:10Last year,

01:15:1170% of the silver moon

01:15:12wolf pack's

01:15:13military supplies,

01:15:14potions,

01:15:14and room array maintenance

01:15:15came from sacred dominion resources.

01:15:19Ryan,

01:15:20you're standing on my territory,

01:15:22living off my mines,

01:15:24and still expecting me

01:15:26to prioritize

01:15:27your bigger picture.

01:15:33Ryan's expression

01:15:34instantly dartened.

01:15:36For the first time,

01:15:37panic flashed

01:15:38across Dot Ivy's face.

01:15:39She grabbed

01:15:40Kyos' hand.

01:15:41Kyos,

01:15:42say something!

01:15:43Mother,

01:15:43do you really have to do this?

01:15:45Kyros looked at me,

01:15:46and for the first time,

01:15:47there was anger

01:15:48in his eyes.

01:15:49Do what?

01:15:50I asked.

01:15:52Expose the truth

01:15:53in front of everyone?

01:15:55Or refuse to hand over

01:15:56the life's work

01:15:57I've built

01:15:57to my enemy's daughter?

01:15:59Kyros lowered his voice.

01:16:01Ivy

01:16:02isn't her mother.

01:16:04Neither are you me.

01:16:05You don't have the right

01:16:06to forgive them

01:16:07on my behalf.

01:16:08I fixed my gaze on him.

01:16:09The moment those words

01:16:10left my mouth,

01:16:11the last trace of hesitation

01:16:12vanished from Kyros' face.

01:16:14He took Ivy's hand

01:16:14and turned to face the guests.

01:16:16If Mother refuses

01:16:16to give us her blessing,

01:16:17then I'll make

01:16:18the announcement myself.

01:16:19I, Kyros,

01:16:20as the heir of the sacred

01:16:20Dimangin,

01:16:21choose Ivy

01:16:21as my blood oath mate.

01:16:23From this night forward,

01:16:24anyone who humiliates her

01:16:25becomes my enemy.

01:16:26The entire hall fell silent.

01:16:27A flash of triumph

01:16:28crossed Elena's eyes.

01:16:29Even Ryan

01:16:29slowly looked pleased.

01:16:30Kyros,

01:16:31I knew you wouldn't

01:16:31abandon me.

01:16:32Crying,

01:16:33Ivy threw herself

01:16:34into Kyros' arms.

01:16:35I watched them

01:16:35and suddenly felt tired.

01:16:37Not heartbroken,

01:16:38just tired of it all.

01:16:40I raised my hand.

01:16:41Bring me the blood oath scroll.

01:16:44Hope lit up

01:16:44in at Kyros' eyes.

01:16:46Mother, you agree?

01:16:47I smiled.

01:16:48Of course.

01:16:50Before Ivy

01:16:50could even breathe

01:16:51a sigh of relief,

01:16:52I finished the sentence.

01:16:53I agree to sever

01:16:54the blood oath

01:16:55between us

01:16:55as mother and son.

01:16:57The smile on Kyat'

01:16:58his face frozen.

01:16:59What did you say?

01:17:00An attendant

01:17:01brought over

01:17:02a black parchment scroll.

01:17:03It was no ordinary contract.

01:17:06Someone recognized it,

01:17:07their voice trembling.

01:17:11The soul-severation

01:17:12blood oath.

01:17:13Once it's signed,

01:17:14blood ties,

01:17:15inheritance rights,

01:17:15and family protection

01:17:16are all permanently cut off.

01:17:21The soul-severation

01:17:29I believe in that

01:17:29Jesus Christ.

01:17:29The soul-severation

01:17:29has all been CT.

01:17:29in Sometimes it's

01:17:29Exactly.
