Short filmTranscript
00:00Everyone who touched the moon goddess's crown turned to ashes.
00:04Twelve alphas and five centuries.
00:06World's strongest burned alive for power greed.
00:10They say the crown was made by the moon goddess herself
00:13and sealed by the high oracle with the blood of one hundred kings.
00:18Wolves that never forgot their true master
00:20were waiting for one of their heirs of the moon goddess to claim the crown.
00:24All the heirs were preyed upon and killed by the cruel alphas.
00:28Except for one, Talia.
00:31But she is unaware that she is the heir of the moon goddess
00:34and she is the only one alive.
00:37It's been seventeen years since she had been kept in the dungeon,
00:40tortured and used as a slave by Alpha Edward and his daughter Marcy.
00:44And tonight, he decides to kill her.
00:47Without a word, a whiskey bottle whizzes past my ear
00:51and smashes against the wall above my cot.
00:54I flinch and can't help but start to tremble and hug myself,
00:57whatever is about to happen.
00:59It's going to be worse than usual.
01:02He lunges forward and grabs me by the throat with both hands.
01:06I feel tears coming to my eyes as the lack of oxygen
01:09turns the edges of my vision dark.
01:11I desperately claw at his hands, trying to escape his grip, but it's no use.
01:17He picks me up by the neck, so I'm at face level with him.
01:20His eyes are pitch, indicating his wolf ruckus is at the surface.
01:25His breath stinks because of alcohol.
01:27I start gagging and choking from the lack of oxygen.
01:30Without warning, he throws me across the room as if I weigh nothing.
01:33My back slams against the wall, and I land on my back on the cot.
01:38The shards of the broken bottle pierce the skin on my back through my thin t-shirt.
01:42The whiskey makes the cuts burn.
01:45I try to muffle a scream as the pain sears through me.
01:49He comes across the room and picks me up roughly by the hair.
01:52I feel the shards of glass cutting deeper as he pulls me up.
01:56He throws me to the ground.
01:58The glass bits are grinding deeper into my back.
02:01I can feel something wet soaking through my shredded shirt.
02:06I don't dare move and make him even madder.
02:09I feel my ribs snap when his foot makes contact.
02:13One of his feet lands on my jaw.
02:16I feel a sickening snap rattle in my brain.
02:20The metallic taste instantly fills my mouth.
02:23Alpha Edward has been using me as his punching bag for years,
02:27but this was way more intense than it has ever been before.
02:31In the past couple of years, he started dipping the whip in wolfsbane,
02:36which makes me heal slower.
02:38So now I have gnarly scars across my back and arms.
02:42I manage to eke out.
02:45My voice is small and garbled.
02:47He abruptly stops and walks out of the room.
02:50He comes back a moment later with the whip
02:52and starts lashing my back relentlessly.
02:55The whip is dripping with wolfsbane.
02:57The lashes, combined with the glass shards still in my back,
03:03combined with the wolfbane, are too much.
03:06My vision turns blurry and I pass out.
03:08Numbness surrounds me.
03:11Is this what being dead is like?
03:16It's peaceful, but a little bit boring.
03:21After what seems like forever,
03:23I'm able to open my eyes and find I'm alone
03:26in soft comfort in a brightly lit clean room.
03:29This is the afterlife?
03:32Maybe this is some sort of waiting area.
03:35But where's the lobby?
03:37Is there a receptionist?
03:40My mind slowly becomes more clear and I realize I'm not dead.
03:43I'm in the pack hospital.
03:45I need to leave before the alpha finds me outside the dungeon.
03:49I can barely move my body.
03:51Every move causes excruciating pain.
03:54I start to panic,
03:56making the beeps in the room become faster.
03:59Oh, I'm hooked up to a bunch of machines.
04:01I try to figure out how to unhook them
04:03so no one hears the noises.
04:05Too late.
04:07I hear people in the hallway getting closer.
04:10I try to sit up.
04:11I need to ignore the pain.
04:12I have to escape.
04:15I slowly slide off the side of the bed.
04:17My legs were wobbly.
04:19The tubes and wires sticking out of me
04:21prevent me from getting too far.
04:23The door opens
04:24and the pack doctor comes in with the nurse.
04:27The doctor is an older person.
04:29Talia, you're awake.
04:30Let's get you back on the mat, shall we?
04:33The doctor says gently.
04:35He and the nurse come to either side of me
04:36and reach out to hold my arms.
04:38A deep growl escapes my chest.
04:41Don't touch me.
04:42I snap, shaking them off.
04:45My voice is scratchy and raw
04:46and my mouth feels like a thousand needles
04:48are poking into it.
04:50It's all right, Talia.
04:52No one is going to hurt you here.
04:54We're trying to help you heal.
04:56Let's get you back to it
04:58and I'll get you a drink of water.
05:01The doctor raises his hands in surrender.
05:04I look at him hesitantly
05:05before the nurse hands me a cup of water
05:07with a straw.
05:09The water feels good on my throat.
05:11The doctor sits in the chair beside the bed
05:14as the nurse checks my vitals,
05:16starts messing with the tubes
05:17and wires attached to me.
05:19Talia, you had surgery
05:21to remove hundreds of shards of glass
05:23from your back.
05:24We also had to reset some ribs,
05:26your jaw,
05:26and you had a lot of wolfsbane
05:28in your blood.
05:29We gave you a transfusion
05:31to clear it from your system
05:32so you could heal.
05:34You're lucky your wound isn't so serious.
05:37Sure about that last part, doctor?
05:39I think to myself.
05:41When the pack realized breakfast
05:42had not been prepared,
05:44Tony went to get you
05:45and then found you on the ground
05:47in your, uh, room.
05:51He looked at me with sympathy.
05:53Talia, who did this to you?
05:56It's a crime.
05:57That could be grounds
05:58for banishment from the pack.
05:59I can't answer him.
06:02I stare at my hands
06:04on my lap quietly.
06:06How can I tell him
06:07Alpha Edward is the one
06:08who caused this?
06:09There's no way he'd believe me.
06:12Even if he did,
06:13what are they going to do?
06:15Banish the Alpha?
06:16Fat chance of that.
06:18I decide my best move
06:19is to just shake my head no.
06:21I don't want to get out
06:22of the pack for lying.
06:23I have nowhere to go.
06:24I would be nothing.
06:26Okay, let's move on
06:28to the next question.
06:30When do you turn 17?
06:32He looks at the papers
06:33inside his folder.
06:34I don't know exactly, sir.
06:36I say honestly.
06:38He looks at me
06:39with a furrowed brow.
06:40He glances at the nurse
06:41and asks her to give us privacy
06:43for a few minutes.
06:45Am I in trouble?
06:50You don't know
06:51your birthday, Talia?
06:52I couldn't tell the doctor
06:54what happened,
06:54but his question
06:55gave me flashes
06:56of my terrible past.
06:58The doctor nods,
06:59looking at me with pity,
07:01almost like he cares.
07:03He asks me a few more questions
07:05about my medical history.
07:07There's nothing to speak of.
07:09I don't remember
07:10ever being treated
07:11by a doctor before.
07:12He closes the folder
07:13and tucks his pen
07:14into his shirt pocket.
07:16Well, I know you haven't had
07:18a chance to look
07:19in the mirror yet,
07:20but when you do,
07:21you may find
07:22you look a little different.
07:23Don't be alarmed.
07:25I've done as many tests
07:26as I could think of,
07:28and it is not
07:28medically related.
07:30Yes, sir.
07:32I assume he means
07:33I'm healing faster,
07:34but why did he need me
07:36to look in the mirror?
07:37Why not just tell me?
07:39I look at the nurse
07:41who is staring at me.
07:42When she realizes
07:43I caught her,
07:44her eyes dart away.
07:46What's that about?
07:48Okay, lady.
07:50Rude?
07:52I'll leave you now.
07:53You can go in the bathroom
07:54and wash up.
07:56Just take that pole
07:57with the IV solution
07:58with you.
08:02You need to leave
08:03the hospital gown on
08:04until your back heals.
08:05All right?
08:07Yes, ma'am.
08:09Thank you, Diane.
08:11She nods
08:11and leaves the room.
08:13It's the first time
08:14in my life
08:15people have been kind
08:16to me.
08:17I mean,
08:18I think it's part
08:19of their job,
08:20but still,
08:21all I have known
08:22so far were insults,
08:23physical misery,
08:24and hard work.
08:26Never any kindness.
08:28Never any.
08:29I feel like
08:29I can trust the doctor,
08:31but I'm still wary
08:32of Nurse Diane.
08:35The way she stared
08:36at me just now
08:36makes me uncomfortable.
08:38I pick up the duffel bag
08:40and go to the bathroom.
08:41I can't avoid it anymore.
08:44I need to look
08:45in the mirror.
08:47I finally worked up
08:48the courage
08:49to take a peek.
08:51What I see
08:52makes me drop
08:52the toothbrush.
08:54My face is still
08:55covered in bruises,
08:56but that's not
08:57what made me
08:58drop the toothbrush.
08:59The iris of my left eye
09:01is violet,
09:03not like a shade of blue
09:04that could be a little purple
09:06in the right light.
09:07No,
09:08my right pupil
09:09is still the drab gray
09:10I'm used to,
09:11but my left pupil
09:12looks crazy.
09:14I blink my eyes hard
09:15a few times,
09:16still the same.
09:18I tried rubbing my eye,
09:19but it doesn't make
09:20a difference.
09:21There's no mistaking it.
09:23My eye is bright,
09:24practically glowing.
09:25Violet.
09:28The two days
09:29seem to last forever.
09:31I'm not complaining,
09:33though.
09:33I've never gotten
09:34so much in my life,
09:35and as a bonus,
09:36I get three meals a day.
09:38Three.
09:39I keep looking
09:40in the mirror.
09:41I can't get over
09:42how weird
09:43my purple eye looks.
09:45I wake up
09:46on the second day
09:47and go to the bathroom
09:48to freshen up.
09:49I stare at myself
09:51in the mirror
09:52for the millionth time.
09:54My left eye
09:55is still violet.
09:57Now my right eye
09:58seems like it's starting
09:59to turn violet as well.
10:02There was nothing
10:03I could do about it,
10:04so I decided
10:05to try not to worry.
10:08Since Red Moon
10:09is a pretty big pack,
10:10we have a high school
10:11on pack territory.
10:13The library
10:14has a really big
10:15werewolf lore
10:15research section.
10:16I will do some research
10:18during lunch.
10:19As I tilt my head
10:20to the side
10:21to brush my hair,
10:22I notice a chunk
10:23of my hair
10:23has changed color.
10:25Instead of my
10:26normal,
10:27mousy brown,
10:28it is silvery gray.
10:31Okay, seriously now,
10:32what is going on?
10:34What is happening to me?
10:35Is this a trick?
10:37Is there bleach
10:37in the shampoo
10:38or something?
10:40If it is a trick,
10:41it isn't funny.
10:42I pick up the bottle
10:43and smell it.
10:44It smells like strawberries.
10:46Not bleach.
10:48Weird.
10:49I have never heard
10:50of a wolf's eye
10:50or hair color
10:51changing when they
10:52are coming of age,
10:53but that's what
10:54the doctor thinks
10:55is happening.
10:56Diane comes in
10:57just after lunch
10:58with paperwork
10:58and pamphlets for me.
11:00She hands me
11:01another little bag.
11:02Just a little something
11:03to help you stay incognito
11:05until you are
11:06finished healing.
11:07Thank you for everything.
11:09There is a round hat
11:10in the bag.
11:11How do I look?
11:12I ask as I model
11:14them for her.
11:15She giggles
11:16at my poses.
11:17You're a star, darling.
11:19Maybe she isn't
11:20so bad after all.
11:22She gives me
11:22a gentle hug
11:23and sends me
11:24on my way.
11:26I have another
11:27two hours
11:28before I need
11:29to start prepping dinner.
11:30I decided to take
11:31my new clothes
11:32to my room
11:33and clean up
11:33the mess down there
11:34before this.
11:36Something smells
11:36different as I walk
11:37down the hallway
11:38of the dungeon.
11:39and instantly
11:41I freeze.
11:43I hear two sets
11:44of footsteps
11:45coming down the hall.
11:46I can smell
11:47Alpha Edward's scent
11:48getting closer.
11:50Instinctively,
11:50I scramble
11:51and stand in the
11:52middle of the room
11:52just as they get
11:53to the doorway.
11:55He leans against
11:56the frame
11:56and crosses his arms.
11:58I can feel
11:58my whole body
11:59tremble as he stares.
12:00My eyes are glued
12:01to the ground.
12:03I do not want him
12:04to see my new eye color
12:05shining through.
12:06Can I help you,
12:08Alpha Edward?
12:09That little stunt
12:10you pulled
12:11cost me a lot
12:12of money.
12:13And when you
12:14cost me money,
12:15you cost my
12:16whole family money.
12:17And do you know
12:19how disgusting
12:20the food has been
12:20for the past
12:21two and a half days?
12:23I just nod,
12:24still looking
12:25at the ground.
12:26I'm not trying
12:27to argue
12:28with a lunatic.
12:29It isn't my fault
12:30I had to have surgery.
12:31He's the one
12:32who broke a bottle
12:33and threw me
12:33into the broken pieces.
12:36If he hadn't,
12:36I would have been
12:37just fine.
12:38I would have been
12:39able to bounce
12:39back the next day
12:40and make breakfast
12:42like I was supposed
12:43to.
12:44Even if I was
12:45banged up.
12:46You owe me,
12:47Talia.
12:48You will work
12:48in the packhouse
12:49until you pay
12:49back every cent
12:50for the rest
12:51of your life
12:51if necessary.
12:53No more school.
12:54You don't need
12:55education to cook
12:56and clean.
12:57He uses his
12:58alpha tone.
12:59I cannot disobey.
13:01With those words,
13:02the small flame
13:03of hope in my heart
13:04extinguishes.
13:05I don't get paid
13:06so I don't know
13:08how I could ever
13:08pay back any debt.
13:11Luna Layla told me
13:12years ago
13:13that the room
13:14in the dungeon
13:14was payment enough
13:15for my services.
13:17I am less
13:18than an
13:19omega.
13:20Now,
13:21I am a slave.
13:23Marcy,
13:24teach her a lesson
13:25for wasting our money.
13:27Yes, alpha.
13:28Tears stream
13:29down my face
13:30as the reality
13:31of my fate
13:32sets in.
13:33Alpha Edward
13:34is passing
13:34the torch
13:35of his cruelty
13:35down to his daughter
13:36but I know
13:38better than that.
13:39He will never stop.
13:41Marcy reaches forward
13:42and claps
13:43the back of my neck.
13:45She forces me down
13:46into a bowing position
13:47and growls deeply.
13:49You should be grateful
13:50my father
13:50doesn't banish you.
13:52If you were a rogue,
13:53I would make sure
13:54you never made it
13:55to the border
13:56of the territory.
13:57A squeak
13:58escapes my throat.
13:59I am so scared
14:01I feel like
14:01I am going to pass out.
14:03Marcy turns
14:04to her father.
14:05Don't worry, Alpha.
14:07I've got
14:08this situation covered.
14:09I hear Alpha Edward's
14:10footsteps walk back
14:11down the hallway
14:12as he leaves the dungeon.
14:13Marcy tightens
14:14her grip on my neck,
14:16extending her wolf claws,
14:17making me yelp.
14:19As soon as
14:20the door slams,
14:21Marcy releases my neck
14:23and kneels in front of me.
14:24Her face
14:25is contorted
14:26with anger.
14:27She grabs my shoulders,
14:28shaking me roughly.
14:30What did you do
14:30to make him so mad?
14:32Why isn't she
14:33doing anything to me
14:34like she told
14:35Alpha Edward she would?
14:37I stiffened
14:37my whole body,
14:39avoiding eye contact
14:40with her.
14:41I'm shaking.
14:42I can't even speak now.
14:44The thought
14:45of two people
14:45doing something bad
14:46to me regularly
14:47for the rest of my life,
14:49it just can't be real.
14:51Can it?
14:52How can the moon goddess
14:54allow this to happen?
14:56I want to leave the world.
14:58That's not
14:59an exaggeration.
15:02That's not
15:02me being dramatic.
15:04Please, moon goddess,
15:05don't let this happen.
15:07Just let me go.
15:09I shake so badly
15:10that I fall to my knees.
15:11I start to sob hysterically
15:12and my brain shuts down
15:14from being able
15:15to think rationally.
15:16Marcy grabs my chin
15:18and forces me
15:19to look at her
15:20in her cold gray eyes.
15:22She looks at me
15:23in horror for a moment.
15:25What happened
15:25to your eyes?
15:27She moves her hands
15:27up from my chin
15:28to just below my eyes.
15:30It feels like her hands
15:32are trembling
15:32against my face.
15:34Are you a mixed blood
15:35or something?
15:36All I can manage
15:37is to shake my head
15:38no between sobs.
15:40As I shake my head,
15:42I feel her starting
15:43to press her thumbs
15:44against my lower eyelids
15:45obstructing my vision.
15:47Oh no,
15:48she's gonna poke my eyes out.
15:50She saw the violet color.
15:52She was going to blind me.
15:54I place my hands
15:54on top of her,
15:56trying to push her away.
15:57I hear myself screaming,
15:59No, stop!
16:01Don't take my eyes out!
16:02Please!
16:03For just a moment,
16:04time freezes.
16:05I don't mean like
16:06it feels like time
16:07is standing still
16:08because I'm in the middle
16:09of a traumatic situation.
16:10No, time is frozen.
16:14Well, frozen for everything
16:15except for me,
16:16I should say.
16:17I can feel it in the air.
16:19It'll only last for a moment.
16:21I pulled Marzi's hands
16:22away from my face easily.
16:25The look of anger
16:25combined with confusion
16:27is stuck on her face.
16:28Next to her,
16:29a fly is suspended
16:30in midair.
16:31The second hand
16:32on the clock
16:33has stopped
16:33on the wall behind her.
16:35Drips of water
16:36aren't finished falling,
16:39leaving umbrella-shaped splashes
16:41in the puddles
16:41on the floor.
16:43What?
16:44Did the moon goddess
16:45hear me?
16:47Did she have mercy on me?
16:48Did she let my dream come true?
16:51I look back at Marzi
16:52with wide eyes.
16:54My hands are glowing purple.
16:57As quickly as it stopped,
17:00time started again.
17:01Marzi starts screaming
17:02and pushes herself
17:03away from me.
17:04The tops of her hands
17:05where my hands were touching her
17:06were burnt.
17:08I look down at my hands.
17:09They are normal again,
17:11not glowing purple.
17:12Seriously, though,
17:14what happened?
17:16I shut my eyes tight,
17:18waiting for Marzi to retaliate.
17:20If you tell anyone,
17:22I will kill you,
17:23she says in my ear.
17:25Then she punches me
17:26in the stomach,
17:27knocking the air
17:28out of my lungs.
17:29I hear her footsteps
17:30running down the hall,
17:32then out the door.
17:34I don't know how long
17:34I sit like this,
17:35but when I finally
17:36open my eyes,
17:37I breathe a sigh of relief.
17:40I lean against my body
17:41for a while,
17:42longer,
17:43sobbing,
17:44shaking,
17:45and trying to catch my breath.
17:48She didn't harm me.
17:49Surely she was coming back.
17:51I sniff the air,
17:52but her scent is gone.
17:54I listen carefully,
17:55but there were no sounds
17:56in other parts of the dungeon.
17:58I'm alone.
18:00Moon Goddess,
18:01thank you for saving me.
18:03I say out loud,
18:04just in case the miracle
18:05I just experienced
18:06was because of her.
18:08I feel exhausted,
18:10but starting to feel calmer.
18:13Okay, Talia, focus.
18:15I need to make dinner
18:15for the pack
18:16or Alpha Edward
18:17will find me and kill me.
18:19I don't think
18:19it's an exaggeration either.
18:21even if I tried to run away.
18:26Either he or Marcy
18:27would find me
18:28before I could get off
18:29the territory.
18:29I take a few deep breaths
18:32and make myself
18:33go down the hall
18:33to wash up at the sink.
18:35I splash cold water
18:36on my face
18:37and look in the grungy mirror.
18:39Both of my eyes
18:39are pure violet now.
18:41The silver streaks
18:42are starting to take
18:43over my hair now.
18:44It isn't like
18:45an old person's hair.
18:46It is silvery
18:47that almost shimmers,
18:49even in the low light
18:49of the dungeon.
18:52So weird.
18:53There's no way
18:54I'm going to be able
18:54to get used to this new look.
18:56I go back to my room.
18:58I wallow in self-pity
18:59for a bit
19:00before I roll over
19:00and try to fall asleep.
19:03I'm almost asleep
19:05when I hear
19:05a woman's voice.
19:07Hello?
19:08I quickly scramble
19:09to my feet,
19:10looking everywhere
19:11for who it could be.
19:12I'm the only one
19:12in the room.
19:13I peek into the hallway
19:14and look around,
19:15but no one is there either.
19:17Hello?
19:18I whisper loudly
19:19down the hallway.
19:20Ugh, Talia.
19:22This is no way
19:23for a warrior to behave.
19:25Get yourself together.
19:26The voice chides.
19:28I realize the voice
19:29is coming from
19:30inside my head.
19:32Who...
19:33Who are you?
19:35I ask hesitantly,
19:37worried that I've
19:38gone insane.
19:39I am the messenger
19:41of the moon goddess,
19:42the whisperer
19:43to the moon.
19:44But I like you,
19:46so I'll let you
19:47call me Sylvie.
19:49Whisperer of the moon?
19:51Are you my angel, Sylvie?
19:53Maybe.
19:54Who knows?
19:56You came a day
19:57too late.
19:58Our alpha just turned me
19:59into a slave
20:00less than 12 hours ago.
20:02We have no way
20:03to escape now.
20:05I feel tears welling up.
20:07I explain everything
20:08to her,
20:09what the alpha did,
20:11how the Luna
20:12made me live
20:12in the dungeon,
20:13all of it.
20:14I sob through
20:15the whole thing.
20:16I'm here now, Talia.
20:18Don't worry.
20:19You are a child
20:21of the moon goddess.
20:23You are a warrior,
20:25which means
20:26that you are strong.
20:29You will
20:30get through this.
20:32Sylvie,
20:33earlier,
20:33when my hands
20:34turned purple
20:35and burned Marcy,
20:36was that you?
20:37Sort of.
20:39That was you,
20:40but I helped a little
20:41to activate your power.
20:43But unfortunately,
20:44I cannot do
20:45anything more
20:46than this.
20:47I can't really
20:48attack the alpha
20:49of your pack
20:49and his heir.
20:51Pack rules
20:51are for everyone.
20:53Only you can
20:54save yourself,
20:55and for that,
20:55you need to awaken
20:56your wolf.
20:57In the next seven days,
20:59you'll meet
20:59your fated mate.
21:01And from that moment on,
21:03everything will change.
21:04My fated mate?
21:05How would I ever
21:06find him,
21:07chained in this dungeon,
21:09living like a slave?
21:10Who would ever fall
21:11for a wolf-less,
21:13broken Omega like me?
21:15I stopped dreaming
21:16of him a long time ago.
21:18One day,
21:19Alpha Edward's
21:20personal Omega
21:21comes running up to me
21:22while I'm making lunch
21:23and tells me
21:24the Alpha
21:25wants to see me
21:26in his office
21:27right away.
21:28I drop what I'm doing
21:29and hurry to his office.
21:31I knock on the door
21:32quietly in case
21:33he's busy.
21:34Come in!
21:35He calls from inside.
21:36I pull open the door
21:37and peek inside.
21:39You called for me,
21:39Alpha.
21:40I asked as quietly
21:41as possible.
21:43The easiest way
21:43to get away from him
21:44is to use as few words
21:46and ask as few questions
21:47as possible.
21:48Don't just stand there,
21:49come in.
21:50He snarls.
21:51I rush inside
21:52and close the door
21:53behind me.
21:54I stay as close
21:54to the door as possible
21:55in case I need
21:56to make a run for it.
21:58Talia,
21:58we have a delegation
22:00coming
22:00from the Dark Howler's
22:02pack next week.
22:03Twenty wolves
22:04in total.
22:06All of the ranked
22:06members,
22:07their mates,
22:08the heads of their
22:08security and guards,
22:10security detail
22:11for all of them.
22:13If all goes well,
22:14we'll be forming
22:15a pact with them.
22:17They must be treated
22:18with the utmost respect
22:20and courtesy.
22:21Prepare food
22:22for the guests.
22:23and remember,
22:25Alpha Damon could be
22:26a potential match
22:27for Marcy.
22:28This is business,
22:30not a family dinner.
22:31Don't screw it up.
22:33Keep their pantry stocked
22:35and stay out of the way.
22:37Got it?
22:37I look up from under my hat,
22:39still keeping my face
22:40low enough
22:41that he can't see my eyes.
22:43Yes,
22:43even after almost two months,
22:45he still hasn't noticed
22:46that I have purple eyes.
22:48Or if he has,
22:49he hasn't pointed it out.
22:50He also hasn't said
22:52anything about my silver hair,
22:54which is just fine with me.
22:56Yes, sir.
22:58Everyone will be here
22:59on Monday,
23:00except for the Alpha
23:01who's coming Tuesday.
23:03We'll be having a party
23:04after dinner to welcome him.
23:06Make sure there is
23:07enough food for the party.
23:09Give George the information
23:10for the additional food
23:11you need to make.
23:12Do you understand?
23:15Yes, sir.
23:16Good.
23:16We need to keep
23:17the Alpha happy.
23:19If not,
23:20I won't hesitate
23:21to let him harm you.
23:22Do you understand?
23:24He stands up
23:25with his hands on the desk
23:26looking very intimidating.
23:28Yes, sir.
23:30Now get out of my sight.
23:32He points to the door
23:33behind me.
23:34Is this what Sylvie
23:35meant by changing my life?
23:37I'm working twice as hard
23:39for the same misery.
23:40Seriously, Sylvie?
23:42I scramble out of the room
23:44as fast as possible
23:45to find George.
23:46George is in charge
23:47of ordering supplies
23:48for the pack house.
23:49He should be in his office
23:50right now.
23:52My mind is already churning
23:53through the special foods
23:54to make
23:55and the groceries
23:56I need for them.
23:58I also need extra supplies
23:59for the guest suite pantries.
24:01I wonder what kind of foods
24:03the Dark Howler's pack likes.
24:05Dark Howler's is the largest pack
24:07in the northern region
24:08with my pack,
24:09Red Moon,
24:10being the second largest.
24:12Alpha Edward says
24:13Dark Howler's is vicious
24:15and strict.
24:16Most of their pack
24:17has served in the military
24:18at one point or another.
24:20They employ dark magicians
24:21and witches
24:21to help them keep power
24:23over neighboring
24:23when it packs.
24:24I wonder if they're going
24:26to bring any dark witches here.
24:28I hope not.
24:30I also hear their Alpha
24:31expels pack members
24:32who fail training tests
24:34because he doesn't want
24:35weak wolves in his pack,
24:37a guy I don't want
24:38to cross paths with.
24:40I get to George's office
24:41and knock on the door.
24:42I can hear noises
24:44coming from inside,
24:45but he doesn't answer.
24:46I knock a little louder.
24:49What the hell?
24:50He has to know I'm here.
24:51He knows my scent.
24:53Just tell me to come in already.
24:55I don't like this guy, Talia.
24:57He's creepy.
24:58He stares at you.
25:00Well, we don't have a choice
25:01but to work with him, Sylvie.
25:03He's the money.
25:05Oh, fine.
25:06But let's make it quick.
25:08I knock again,
25:09more impatiently this time.
25:11What is it?
25:12He finally growls from inside.
25:14I open the door
25:15to find there's a female wolf
25:16sitting on his desk.
25:18She hides her face in his chest.
25:20I can't see who she was,
25:21but there is no denying
25:22whose scent it is.
25:24George is not wearing any pants
25:25and he is sweating.
25:27Get the hell out, Talia.
25:28I'm busy here.
25:29I stand there wide-eyed,
25:32jaw slack for a moment.
25:34I can't be seeing this.
25:36George is having a fun time
25:37in his office with Marcy.
25:39Get out, Talia.
25:42What the hell did I just see?
25:44Marcy is supposed to marry Alpha Damon
25:46and she's sneaking around with George?
25:50And Omega?
25:51Is everyone in this family retarded?
25:53He yells louder.
25:55I come to my senses
25:57and slam the door closed.
25:58I run back to the kitchen
26:00as fast as I can.
26:02I can feel the drip of sweat
26:03down my face.
26:05If anyone finds out
26:06what I just saw,
26:07I am finished.
26:09Sylvie thinks it's hilarious.
26:11She laughs in my head
26:12throughout lunch preparation.
26:15I'm just trying to erase
26:16the scene from my mind.
26:18I'm about to take the platters
26:19out to the dining room
26:20when George comes charging
26:22into the kitchen.
26:23He makes a beeline for me
26:25and grabs me by the throat,
26:28pinning me against the wall.
26:30He hauls back his fist
26:33and punches me square in the face.
26:35The back of my head
26:37slams against the wall
26:38so hard I see stars.
26:40I can feel my nose snap
26:42as I slide down the wall
26:43with a groan.
26:45You didn't see anything.
26:47I can feel his claws
26:48extending into my neck
26:49drawing blood.
26:51You understand,
26:52you little monster.
26:54I'm paralyzed with fear.
26:56I can't answer.
26:58I can't even nod.
27:00Suddenly,
27:01I feel like I'm falling
27:02backwards in my mind.
27:03I blink quickly
27:04a few times.
27:05It feels like I'm looking
27:07out of someone else's eyes.
27:09Let her go.
27:10The voice comes from me,
27:11but it isn't my voice.
27:13It's Sylvie.
27:14Her voice booms
27:15and sounds almost ethereal.
27:17The dishes on the counter
27:18shake as she growls
27:19deeply at George.
27:20I watch helplessly
27:21as my hands glow violet
27:22and grab George's wrists.
27:24As I grab him,
27:25his eyes widen in fear
27:27and he starts howling in pain.
27:30A sizzling sound
27:31comes from where my hands
27:32connect with his skin.
27:34He quickly releases my neck
27:36and we both fall to the ground.
27:38How are you doing this?
27:40What are you, Talia?
27:42I stand up,
27:43feeling much taller
27:43than my five-foot-tall frame.
27:46Sylvie's voice booms from me.
27:47I am a warrior child
27:49of the moon goddess.
27:51And if you tell anyone
27:52what has happened here today,
27:54I will make you suffer.
27:57George scoots back
27:58on his backside
27:58away from me,
28:00wide-eyed,
28:00then clambers up
28:01and runs away
28:02as fast as he can.
28:04Suddenly,
28:05I come back
28:06into my normal state of mind
28:07and I fall back
28:08to the ground,
28:09exhausted.
28:11My hands are no longer glowing,
28:13but they feel like
28:14they are on
28:14and full of static electricity.
28:17Sylvie, what was that?
28:18I couldn't help it.
28:19He was threatening you.
28:21Okay, but what was with
28:22the glowy purple burnt hands thing?
28:24That's not normal.
28:26Talia,
28:27we've been through this.
28:28You are a child
28:29of the moon goddess.
28:30You are special.
28:32There is more, too.
28:33You will see
28:34after we shift
28:35for the first time.
28:36Until then,
28:37I'm not strong enough
28:38to show you.
28:40Besides,
28:40it isn't like
28:41I hurt him badly.
28:43His wolf will heal him
28:44before he is back
28:45in his office.
28:47I do.
28:48Wait,
28:49you mean the moon goddess
28:50is my actual mom?
28:52Like she gave birth
28:53to me specifically?
28:54Not just like
28:55mother of all werewolves
28:56because she created us
28:57a gazillion years ago?
28:59That's what I've been saying
29:00since I came.
29:01It's not my fault.
29:02You didn't believe me.
29:03I picked up a towel
29:04to wipe the stain
29:05from my nose.
29:06Sylvie is already healing me
29:08from the break,
29:09but my face is going
29:10to be bruised
29:10for a couple of days.
29:11I pull my hat down low
29:13so no one can see
29:14the bruises,
29:15then pick up
29:16the first two platters
29:16and rush out
29:17to the dining room.
29:19Once all the platters
29:19are out,
29:20I make a list
29:20of all the extra supplies
29:22I need
29:22and put it in the box
29:23hanging outside
29:25George's office.
29:26That way,
29:27I don't have to face him again.
29:30I clean up the dining room
29:31after lunch
29:31and still have about
29:3345 minutes
29:33until I have to start dinner.
29:35I decide to go
29:36to the stock room
29:37and put supplies
29:38on the pantry cart
29:39for later.
29:40As I work,
29:42I hear someone
29:42clear their throat
29:43behind me.
29:44I look up
29:45to find Marcy
29:46standing uncomfortably
29:47close to me.
29:48Can I help you
29:49with something, Marcy?
29:50I try to swallow
29:51the panic
29:52that instantly
29:53builds in my throat.
29:55Talia,
29:55I'm warning you.
29:57Breathe a word
29:57about me and George
29:58and you're done.
30:00I will marry Alpha Damon
30:01and you will not
30:02ruin my father's plans.
30:04I look up at her
30:05to see an evil grin
30:06distorting her face.
30:08I see the way
30:08my dad treats you,
30:09Talia.
30:10You never complain.
30:12You just take it.
30:14She moves closer,
30:15breathing deeply
30:16until she's fully
30:17pressing herself
30:18against me.
30:19I bet you like it
30:20when he does it,
30:22don't you?
30:23What?
30:24There is no way
30:25I heard her right,
30:26did I?
30:28Marcy,
30:28I do not enjoy
30:29what your father
30:29does to me
30:30and you're no better
30:31standing there
30:32watching him
30:32instead of stopping him.
30:34I can feel tears
30:36stinging the corners
30:36of my eyes
30:37as she slips
30:38an arm around
30:39my waist.
30:41I cannot believe
30:42this is happening
30:42right now.
30:43Don't lie to me,
30:44Talia.
30:45I do like George,
30:47but I can't deny
30:49that your scent
30:50does something to me
30:51which no man
30:53ever can.
30:54The way you beg
30:55before my father
30:56turns me on
30:57makes me crazy
30:58to think about
30:59what I'll do to you
31:00if I find you alone.
31:01I can't wait
31:02to get my hands on you.
31:03I want to hear you
31:04moan with pleasure
31:05when I am with you.
31:07I want you on your knees
31:08so I can whip you
31:09instead of him.
31:11I want you to be
31:12my toy, Talia,
31:14not his.
31:16I will turn the dungeon
31:18into a playroom
31:19just for us
31:20instead of just
31:21your bedroom.
31:22She's nuzzling
31:23against my neck
31:24right below my ear
31:24making me cringe,
31:26but I don't have
31:26anywhere to be able
31:27to move
31:28to get away from her.
31:29I can feel her fingers
31:31pressing against me
31:32trying to make their way
31:33between my legs.
31:35Are you insane?
31:36I push hard against her
31:38but she's too strong.
31:39She doesn't budge.
31:41Get off of me,
31:42you sicko.
31:43This whole time
31:44she's been turned on
31:44by watching her dad
31:45torture me.
31:46What is wrong
31:47with this family?
31:49The look on her face
31:49contorts
31:50from happy evil
31:51to disgusted.
31:53Without warning
31:54she takes a step back.
31:55She elbows me
31:56in the back
31:57dropping me
31:57onto the table.
31:58Then she bends over
31:59behind me
32:00and whispers
32:01in my ears,
32:02I know you want me,
32:03Talia.
32:04Don't worry,
32:05you'll be mine
32:06as soon as I convince
32:07my father
32:08to let me have you.
32:10I want to make him proud
32:11when I make you
32:12squeal in pain,
32:14but I don't think
32:15I can wait.
32:16Her voice is rough
32:17and ragged
32:17with excitement
32:18and her hands
32:19are all over me
32:20and groping me.
32:21All I can do
32:22is sob.
32:23I'm afraid to fight back
32:24or to even say anything.
32:26Sylvie can't help me
32:27because she's
32:28the Alpha's daughter.
32:30Moon Goddess,
32:31if you're my mother,
32:32please help me,
32:33please save me
32:35from this.
32:37I cry in my mind
32:38as Marcy bites my ears,
32:40gropes me,
32:41and her hand
32:41runs all over me
32:42under my clothes.
32:43She pulls my leggings
32:44and underwear down,
32:46tearing them both in half
32:47with her wolf claws
32:47extended.
32:49I feel her
32:50pressing her fingers
32:51against my entrance.
32:53I know what was
32:54about to happen,
32:55and I can't take it anymore.
32:57I turn my mind off,
32:59just like her father
33:01beat me within an inch
33:02of my life.
33:03My mind cannot be present
33:05for what is happening
33:06to me.
33:07She finally gets off me
33:09and I fall to the floor.
33:11She tears the back
33:12of my shirt open
33:13and strikes with her claws
33:14on my back
33:14as if to mark me
33:15as her property.
33:16I lay on the floor
33:17of the supply room,
33:18crying.
33:20Get up, Talia.
33:22I said get up.
33:23You're better than this.
33:24You will survive this.
33:25I want to leave
33:27this world, Sylvie.
33:28I can't do this anymore.
33:30I can't.
33:31You can,
33:32and you will.
33:33You will find your mate
33:34soon enough
33:34and things will change,
33:35I promise.
33:36How can you be so sure?
33:38Glowy, burning hands
33:40are not your only gift.
33:42I get up,
33:43find an old cardigan
33:45in the back of the stockroom
33:46and put it on.
33:47I go back to my room
33:49to find new clothes
33:49before making dinner.
33:51I visited the roof
33:52several times that day
33:53contemplating my existence.
33:56Each time,
33:57I stand with my toes
33:58at the edge
33:58and stare down
34:00from the four-story building.
34:02I can't bring myself
34:03to do anything
34:04except cry
34:04and go back to my room.
34:06I can't do it to Sylvie.
34:09I can't take her life
34:10because I want to take mine.
34:12It is almost 1.30 in the morning
34:14before I plop into my bed,
34:15totally exhausted.
34:17It has been a long day.
34:19My alarm wakes me
34:20in the morning.
34:22Sylvie makes me promise
34:22to hang on
34:24for one more day.
34:26We go through
34:26the motions of the life
34:27I hate.
34:28While I'm getting ready,
34:29I look in the mirror
34:30to find my hair
34:31is completely silvery now.
34:33I tuck it into a bun
34:34to try to far-eyed
34:34people noticing it.
34:36The delegation
34:37from Dark Howlers
34:38arrives in the early afternoon.
34:40They are all tall
34:41and intimidating
34:42with tattoos
34:43and big muscles.
34:45Some of them
34:45have visible scars
34:46on their arms and faces.
34:47They wear matching
34:48business attire
34:49or security uniforms.
34:52Luna Layla directs them
34:53to the sitting room
34:53while I quietly bring in
34:55pitchers of water
34:56and iced tea
34:56for them to drink.
34:58I was doing my best,
34:59trying not to be noticed.
35:00And one of the women
35:01calls me out.
35:02You there, Omega.
35:04She says abruptly.
35:06I look around
35:06and realize
35:07she is speaking to me.
35:08For everyone.
35:10Maya, of course,
35:11right away.
35:12Luna Layla says quickly
35:13and nods her head to me.
35:14I rush to the cellar
35:16and pull out two cases
35:17of napkins and glasses.
35:19I prep the drink service card
35:20and head back
35:21to the sitting room.
35:22I open three bottles,
35:24leaving the rest for them
35:25to do as they wish.
35:26And then I back out
35:28of the room
35:28so I can start
35:29preparing dinner.
35:31The rest of the day
35:32goes without a hitch.
35:33The guests seem
35:34pleased with dinner.
35:36In the evening,
35:37I go to each guest suite
35:38to make sure everyone
35:39is happy with their
35:40accommodations.
35:41A couple of people
35:43ask for more bags
35:44of chips or soda,
35:46but on the whole,
35:48everyone seems satisfied.
35:50The last door
35:51is the beta's room.
35:53Maya opens the door,
35:55looking much more relaxed
35:56than earlier.
35:57She has a large tattoo
35:58of a rose
35:59and dagger on her forearm.
36:01Her dark hair
36:02is still pulled back,
36:03but she isn't wearing makeup.
36:04I can see now.
36:06She looks only
36:07a few years older than me.
36:09I can hear her mate inside
36:10talking on the phone.
36:11Thanks for checking on us.
36:13Everything is wonderful.
36:15The flowers
36:15are a beautiful touch.
36:17You have good taste.
36:18She smiles at me.
36:20I bow to her slightly
36:21and then turn to leave.
36:22Wait,
36:23what's under your hat?
36:24I stop in my tracks
36:25and turn around.
36:27I'm sorry, ma'am.
36:28I ask.
36:29I feel the blood
36:30drain from my face.
36:32Your hat.
36:33Why is it so low?
36:34What are you trying to hide?
36:36Come closer.
36:37I come closer
36:38and slowly take off my hat,
36:40keeping my eyes
36:41to the ground.
36:42My silver hair
36:43cascades down my back.
36:45It is embarrassingly greasy
36:47and visibly dirty.
36:48I feel myself blush.
36:50Oh, I see.
36:52She says with surprise
36:53in her voice.
36:54Now,
36:55don't be disrespectful.
36:56Always look me in the eye
36:58when I speak to you.
36:59I look up at her.
37:00The light from her room
37:02shines right into my eyes.
37:04She looks at me blankly
37:05for a moment,
37:06trying to process
37:07what she's seeing.
37:08What are you?
37:09A hybrid?
37:10No, ma'am.
37:11The pack doctor did tests,
37:13but he doesn't know
37:13why it happened.
37:15He thinks it must be
37:15a transformation
37:16related to my wolf
37:17getting ready to wake up.
37:19I mean,
37:20it's not a lie.
37:22It's just not
37:22the whole truth, right?
37:24How am I supposed
37:25to tell a stranger
37:26that my wolf says
37:27that I'm the moon
37:29goddess's actual daughter
37:30and that that is why
37:32I have silver hair
37:33and violet eyes.
37:35She grabs my chin
37:36and pulls my face
37:37closer to hers,
37:38inspecting closely.
37:40And does the pack doctor
37:41know that someone
37:42has broken your nose recently?
37:45You still have bruises.
37:47I'm not going to elaborate
37:48or implicate anyone
37:49in this conversation
37:50with someone I do not know.
37:52Who's at the door, Maya?
37:53Just the Omega
37:54assigned to us, Caden.
37:56What's your name again?
37:57It's Talia, ma'am.
37:58I'm not an Omega, though.
38:00I'm just a servant.
38:02Her name is Talia.
38:04She picked out
38:04my beautiful flowers.
38:06She's still talking
38:07to her mate,
38:08but she hasn't taken
38:09her eyes off me
38:10as if she's trying
38:10to size me up
38:11for some reason.
38:13Her brow furrows
38:14slightly as she stares.
38:15She's making me
38:16self-conscious.
38:18That's nice.
38:19Ask her if I can get
38:20bubbly water
38:21in the refrigerator.
38:23No problem, ma'am.
38:24She and I share
38:25a smile at bubbly water.
38:27I will bring it shortly
38:28and leave it at the door.
38:31Oh, and Talia,
38:32if those bruises
38:33aren't healed
38:34by tomorrow morning,
38:35find some powder.
38:36Alpha Damon
38:37does not tolerate
38:38seeing injuries like that.
38:39Yep, yes, ma'am.
38:41I run to the stockroom,
38:42get four bottles
38:43of San Pellegrino
38:44and put them
38:45in front of the door,
38:45then run away
38:46as fast as I can.
38:48One million questions
38:49run through my head.
38:50Would their Alpha
38:51be angry for being
38:52weaker than other wolves,
38:53even if I was not
38:54part of his pack?
38:55Was she going to tell
38:57Alpha Edward
38:58about my unusual features?
39:00Was she going to call him out
39:01for letting someone
39:02break my nose?
39:04I mean, lady,
39:05if you think that is bad,
39:07I got some news
39:08you're not gonna like,
39:09and that I'm dead meat
39:10by your Alpha,
39:11for sure.
39:13Alpha Edward
39:13comes down later
39:14and whips me
39:15for not having
39:15all the items
39:16our guests wanted.
39:17By morning,
39:19Sylvie has still not
39:19been able to fully heal me.
39:22I'm in so much pain.
39:23Everything is a struggle.
39:25Cooking,
39:26carrying breakfast trays,
39:28leaning over
39:28to clean tables.
39:30Every move
39:31causes scabs
39:32to open and bleed,
39:33making the back
39:34of my shirt
39:34damp with blood.
39:36Maya makes eye contact
39:37with me a couple of times.
39:39She can tell
39:39something was wrong
39:40but doesn't say anything.
39:42For some reason
39:42she can't explain,
39:44Sylvie is bouncing around
39:45in my head all morning.
39:46The Beta is so nice.
39:48I can't wait
39:49to meet the Alpha
39:50and Luna.
39:51Sylvie,
39:52come on.
39:53We're not going
39:53to get to meet
39:54the Alpha and Luna.
39:55We're going to melt
39:56into the wallpaper
39:57and pretend we don't exist.
39:59I want to meet them.
40:00Okay,
40:00well I hate to disappoint you
40:02but you're going
40:02to be disappointed.
40:04Layla comes in
40:05while I'm prepping lunch
40:06to let me know
40:07that Alpha has arrived
40:08and I need to make
40:10lunch for him as well.
40:12There is no Luna.
40:14He doesn't have a mate
40:15and according to Layla,
40:17he's handsome.
40:19Not that it matters to me.
40:21Because I'm going
40:22to be wallpaper.
40:24I don't want him
40:25to notice me at all.
40:28I take the trays
40:29to the conference room.
40:31Alpha Damon is not there
40:32but there is a spot
40:33at the table
40:34where he is supposed
40:34to sit.
40:35I leave his meal
40:36at the empty seat.
40:38Everyone from
40:39the dark howlers
40:40pack
40:41politely thanks me
40:42as I lay out plates
40:44in front of them.
40:45Their manners betray
40:46their intimidating features.
40:49No one from the red moon
40:50pack says a word
40:50to me as I serve them.
40:52I collect the trays
40:53and walk out quietly.
40:55Layla lets me know
40:56she will clean the plates
40:57so I can focus on dinner
40:59and food for the party.
41:00I go to the kitchen
41:02but need a minute
41:03to collect myself
41:04before I get started
41:04on dinner.
41:06I go out the back door
41:07and stand
41:08on the stoop.
41:10In the distance,
41:11I don't recognize him.
41:13It must be the Alpha
41:14from dark howlers.
41:16He is too far away
41:17for me to see
41:18his actual features though.
41:20All I can see
41:20is a tall figure
41:21with dark hair
41:22and a suit.
41:24It smells like...
41:27I swear...
41:29It smells...
41:30like coffee.
41:32Or dark chocolate.
41:34This guy was a mocha drinker?
41:36I laughed to myself
41:37at the thought
41:37of the big bad alpha
41:39of dark howlers
41:39sipping on a mocha Chino.
41:41I make a four-course meal
41:43of Caesar salad,
41:45bacon-wrapped shrimp appetizers,
41:48beef wellington
41:49with braised Brussels sprouts
41:50for the main dish,
41:51and a key lime pie
41:53for dessert.
41:54I also make bruschetta,
41:56tomato fritters,
41:57mini calzones,
41:58assorted veggie trays
41:59with dip,
42:00and chocolate truffles
42:01to serve for the party.
42:03I finish the desserts
42:05and veggie trays
42:06between breakfast and lunch,
42:07so there was less
42:08for me to worry about now.
42:10I realize Sylvie's advice
42:12of finding happiness
42:13in cooking
42:14has helped me enjoy
42:15making this dinner.
42:17Maybe because I'm serving
42:18people other than my pack,
42:20or maybe it's because
42:21I'm making special food,
42:23not just the regular stuff
42:24I make for the pack.
42:26Either way,
42:27I don't mind my work today.
42:29I felt a sense of pride in it.
42:32There are servers
42:33for dinner service
42:34since it's a formal event.
42:36I stay in the kitchen
42:37and make sure
42:38everything is plated,
42:39and going out the door
42:40in perfect condition.
42:42I'm in the zone.
42:44I peek out from the kitchen
42:45after each course is served.
42:47People seem to enjoy the food,
42:48which is a relief.
42:50I notice Alpha Edward
42:51is getting pretty drunk.
42:53Luna Layla keeps taking
42:54his glass away from him,
42:56but he keeps ordering
42:57the Omegas
42:57to give him more.
42:59The dining room
43:00is extra crowded,
43:02so I don't get a better look
43:04at Alpha Damon.
43:06Maya sees me peeking out
43:07from the kitchen
43:08and gives me a wink
43:09and thumbs up.
43:11I smile
43:11and give a little wave
43:13before pulling my head back.
43:15I help the servers
43:16take the party food
43:18to the tables
43:18at the edges
43:20of the ballroom.
43:21I also make sure
43:22the bars in the corners
43:23are fully stocked.
43:25The DJ is finishing setting up,
43:27and colorful lights
43:29are sliding across the floor.
43:31Party balloons
43:32and streamers
43:34are hanging
43:35all over the place.
43:37The first few guests
43:38are starting to wander in,
43:40which is my cue
43:41to duck out the back door.
43:43Luckily,
43:44the dinner servers
43:45will clean up
43:45the dinner service tonight,
43:47which gives me extra time
43:49to restock pantries.
43:52I head upstairs
43:53to the stock room
43:54and load the cart up.
43:55I am humming to myself
43:56as I go from room to room.
43:58I feel an odd sense
44:00of calm as I go.
44:01You're in a good mood.
44:03I guess.
44:05I'm not sure why, though.
44:07My back and feet
44:08still hurt.
44:09Well,
44:09I'm happy that you're happy
44:10for once.
44:11This version of you
44:12is pretty cool.
44:14Thanks, Sylvie.
44:15You're not half bad yourself.
44:17I finish stocking
44:18the ranked pack members' rooms
44:19on the fourth
44:20and third floors.
44:21Then I head
44:22to the second floor
44:23where the guest suites are.
44:25The cleaning staff
44:26has cleaned everything.
44:27I just need to restock
44:29the toiletries,
44:30pantry items,
44:31and refrigerators.
44:32I make quick work
44:33of the rooms.
44:34I remember
44:35to stock the Betas' room
44:37with more bottles
44:38of San Pellegrino,
44:39refresh the flowers,
44:40and leave a little tent card
44:41with a handwritten
44:42smiley face
44:43on the kitchenette counter.
44:45It's almost midnight now.
44:47Everyone is still
44:48in the ballroom partying.
44:50I close the door
44:51to the Betas' suite
44:52and move to the Alpha's suite door.
44:55It's the last room
44:56left for the night.
44:58I know he's at the party too,
44:59but I knock first,
45:00just in case.
45:02I lean my ear
45:04against the door.
45:05I don't hear a reply.
45:07I slip the key card
45:08in the slot
45:08and open the door.
45:09But the moment
45:10I looked inside,
45:11my heart stopped,
45:12and I froze.
45:15Standing there
45:16was the most handsome werewolf
45:18I've ever seen in my life.
45:20Easily six foot,
45:22six inches tall,
45:23looked to be about
45:24250 pounds of solid muscle
45:26with the broadest shoulders,
45:28but he wasn't alone.
45:29An icy blonde
45:30stood in front of him
45:31with her hands
45:32undoing his belt.
45:33The smell of coffee
45:35and dark chocolate
45:35filled the air,
45:37and my mind went hazy
45:38as I froze,
45:39seeing two piercing blue eyes
45:40staring back at me.
45:42Stop!
45:43He shouted.
45:44Is this it?
45:45Is this the day I die?
45:47I wondered.
45:48I was only doing my job,
45:50but that did not change
45:51the fact that I had
45:52witnessed something
45:53that should not have been seen.
45:55Before I could move,
45:56he lunged forward
45:57and roughly pinned me
45:58against the floor
45:59outside the room
45:59with a low growl.
46:01He placed both hands
46:02on my shoulders,
46:03preventing me from escaping,
46:05put his face against my neck,
46:07and inhaled deeply.
46:09My heart was pounding
46:10in my chest
46:11as overwhelming panic
46:12began to set in.
46:15Alpha Damon,
46:16is this Omega
46:17trying to steal something?
46:19A guard said,
46:20seeing the struggle.
46:22Get back!
46:23He snarled,
46:24flashing his large fangs.
46:27Mine!
46:28He growled.
46:29Over his shoulder,
46:30I could faintly see Marcy
46:31staring daggers at me,
46:33and down the hall,
46:34I heard Alpha Edward shouting.
46:37What a disaster!
46:38I thought.
46:40They're all going to kill me.
46:42My head started swimming,
46:44and I felt even dizzier.
46:46Maybe I was finally dying.
46:48Look what!
46:49You've done,
46:49you little bitch!
46:51Marcy yelled
46:51as she reached out
46:52to grab me,
46:53but she never touched me.
46:55Alpha Damon snarled,
46:56snatching her hand
46:57out of the air
46:58and snapping her wrist.
47:00Alpha Edward roared,
47:01how dare you!
47:02This is war!
47:04I watched them fight
47:05as if it was a dream.
47:07They looked as though
47:08they were moving
47:08in slow motion.
47:10Alpha Edward yanked Marcy,
47:12pulling her back
47:13as Damon snarled at them.
47:15He was vicious.
47:16Beautifully vicious.
47:18A guard tried
47:18to separate them
47:19as Beta Caden and Maya
47:20took defensive positions
47:22around Alpha Damon,
47:23and George lunged at Damon,
47:25but he was no match
47:26for the Alpha.
47:27Damon grabbed George
47:28by the throat
47:29and threw him into the wall
47:30as though her
47:31were a tiny pup.
47:32I almost laughed,
47:34but I was shaking all over,
47:36barely able to stand.
47:37But in the chaos,
47:38I managed to crawl away
47:40and slink down the stairs.
47:42I looked around
47:43to see if anyone noticed me,
47:45but they were all
47:45too busy arguing.
47:47I looked down
47:48to see blood running
47:49down my legs,
47:50dripping onto the floor.
47:51I started to lose consciousness,
47:53and then I heard it,
47:54the most guttural,
47:56ear-shattering roar.
47:58Where is she?
47:59Where is who, Alpha Damon?
48:01Where is my mate?
48:03Is it possible?
48:05Is Talia truly
48:06Damon's fated mate?
48:07What will Damon do
48:08to protect her?
48:10Will their bond
48:10ignite a war
48:11between the two
48:12most powerful packs
48:13in the Order?
48:14Will any of them
48:15leave Red Moon territory alive?
