For seven days in a coma, Selene locked herself in the apothecary. The reverse moon markings had spread to her heart, and each time she prepared an antidote, she endured the excruciating pain of her blood being drained. Elder Grayclaw had advised her several times, but she refused each time, insisting, "Only my blood can stabilize his condition."
"Madam, the Wolf King has awakened." The guard's announcement caused Selene to drop the vial in her hand. Bursting into the chamber, she saw Ronan struggling to sit up; his chest wound was not yet fully healed, yet he was determined to assess the battle situation. "Are you trying to get yourself killed?" She rushed over to restrain him, but he pulled her into his embrace.
"I heard your heartbeat while I was unconscious," he breathed against her ear. "It turns out the contract is not just a bond of power, but also..." Before he could finish, a wail from a young wolf echoed in the distance. Selene's expression changed drastically—another outbreak of frenzy disease had struck the young wolf sanctuary, and it was more ferocious than before.
By the time they arrived, three young wolves had completely transformed into beasts. Their pupils glowed with an eerie purple hue, and black mist swirled around their claws. "This is not ordinary frenzy disease," Selene frowned as the reverse moon markings on her skin throbbed violently. "It's a curse from the Moon Temple!" She bit her fingertip, letting her blood drip onto the young wolves, but it was instantly corroded by the black mist.
Seeing this, Ronan swung his blade at the mist; the clash between Wolf King Fire and black fog produced a piercing shriek. Seizing the moment, Selene delved into the young wolves' memories and uncovered a shocking scene: a defeated priest from the Moon Temple buried a bloodied wolf claw beneath a tree in the young wolf sanctuary before retreating.
"That is the claw of a cursed reverse moon Alpha," she trembled as she spoke. "They intend to use it to taint the entire wilderness wolf clan." To purify the curse, Selene proposed a dangerous plan—using their contract power to forcibly strip away the dark energy within the young wolves.
Ronan immediately opposed her. "Your curse hasn't been resolved yet; doing this could cost you your life!" But Selene held his hand tightly and pressed their marks together. "We are twin Wolf Kings; only we can do this."
As the ritual began, the full moon was shrouded by dark clouds. The powers of Selene and Ronan converged above the young wolf sanctuary, forming a massive twin moon totem as the black mist howled in defiance against their light. With the last remnants of darkness dispelled, Selene's vision faded to black as she collapsed into Ronan's arms. The last words she heard before losing consciousness were his anguished cry: "I told you not to hurt yourself for anyone else..."
When Selene awoke again, she found herself in an unfamiliar space. Fragments of broken memories floated around her; reaching out to touch them revealed her mother’s youthful visage—Aelia had not yet been branded as the "Reverse Moon Witch" and was studying ancient texts in the forbidden grounds of the Moon Temple alongside Ronan's mother.
"Selene?" Ronan's voice came from behind her; his figure flickered among the memory fragments. "This is the memory corridor of our contract; our consciousness is trapped here." He tightened his grip on her hand, tracing her palm's reverse moon markings with his thumb. "It seems that the curse from the Moon Temple conceals an even deeper conspiracy."
Together they traversed through memory fragments, piecing together an astonishing truth: A century ago, the world of werewolves was ruled by both Sun and Moon Kings in harmony with shadows and light. Until an ancestor of the current high priestess of the Moon Temple betrayed them, sealing away reverse moon power and establishing a system that exalted moonlight alone. And Selene and Ronan were indeed heirs to this dual royal bloodline.
