The Sacrificed Luna Reborn In Th Arms Of A King Ambr
Transcript
00:00...soul, only to find that he recognized the mistress as his mother.
00:04I gave birth to the Wolf King's cub with all my wolf soul,
00:08only to find that he recognized the mistress as his mother.
00:11My alpha husband cheated, and my child was ashamed of me,
00:15all because I could no longer shift into a wolf.
00:17For 18 years, I have been a luna in name only,
00:21playing the role of a weak and submissive housewife.
00:23My husband no longer spared me a glance,
00:26as if even a stray dog passing by could humiliate me.
00:30The jagged scar on my chest still aches to this day.
00:32It is the wound I suffered for both of them.
00:35The strength and dignity I abandoned.
00:37They squandered the legacy I inherited,
00:39plotting to let that wretch take my place.
00:41They want a powerful luna. They shall have her soon.
00:44The white wolf has slumbered for 16 years,
00:47but tonight, at the Wolf Pack's annual gala,
00:49she will awaken and begin the hunt.
00:53As I was tiding his jacket, the scent hit me.
00:56The biological musk of the female wolf in here.
00:59Mixed with cloying and sweet,
01:01like overripe peaches left to rot in the sun.
01:04Even I was called the weak luna of the silver moon pack.
01:07I could distinguish scents,
01:09the old ache throbbing beneath my sternum,
01:11the phantom pain of the sacrifice I made for my son 16 years ago.
01:15I walked through the vanity,
01:17my legs trembling.
01:17On the counter sat the family iPad.
01:20Anthony was too arrogant.
01:21He thought deleting a text on his phone deleted it everywhere.
01:25I tapped the message icon.
01:27You owe me for round two, fuck alpha.
01:30The text was followed by a crude emoji representing knocking.
01:33The biological lock that happens during wolf meeting.
01:36Panic clawed at my throat.
01:38Was some older she-wolf preying on my son before his first shift?
01:41I opened a browser tab and navigated to Pat Confessions,
01:44an anonymous forum for wolves.
01:47Replies came instantly.
01:48Honey, that's not for a pup.
01:49That's alpha talk.
01:51Alpha is not a nickname for a kid.
01:53Also, look at the timestamp.
01:54That was sent from the Moonlight Hotel.
01:56That's an adults-only nest, the room spot.
01:59It wasn't Jacob, it was him, Anthony.
02:02The front door downstairs slammed shut.
02:04Alex, I'm home.
02:06I quickly locked the iPad and stood up, smoothing my expression.
02:09The moment Anthony stepped close to kiss my cheek,
02:12I smelled it again.
02:13The peaches, the musk.
02:15You're late.
02:16Council meeting ran long.
02:17Old man Gregor wouldn't stop arguing about the border patrols.
02:20So tired.
02:21I'll unpack your briefcase.
02:23No need.
02:24I have sensitive documents in there.
02:26Anthony, you look tired.
02:27Go shower.
02:28I'll just set it on the desk.
02:30He hesitated, then sighed.
02:32Fine.
02:33Pour me a drink?
02:34Then he walked into the bathroom.
02:36The water turned out.
02:37I didn't pour a drink.
02:38I opened the briefcase.
02:40There were no council papers.
02:42Instead, hidden in a side pocket was a blister pack of pills.
02:45The foil was popped on two of them.
02:48Bond blockers and narcotic designed to numb the mate bomb.
02:51I gasped.
02:52He was drugging himself and severing the holy connection between us.
02:55Just to sleep with someone who smelled like rotting fruit.
02:59Deep inside me, in a place I had walled off for years, my inner wolf stirred.
03:03She had been dormant since the night Jacob was born.
03:06Drained to a flicker to keep my son alive.
03:08But betrayal and rage is the most powerful fuel.
03:11It took a photo of the pills.
03:13The next evening, Anthony said,
03:15I have to check the northern perimeter tonight.
03:18While he was too polished for a patrol, as soon as his SUV pulled out of the driveway,
03:23I uncovered my old motorcycle.
03:25I followed him.
03:26Not to the northern woods, but straight into the city.
03:29He pulled up to the Moonlight Hotel.
03:31I parked two blocks away and moved through the shadows.
03:33I reached the hotel's rear entrance and punched in the code 04REN2.
03:38Jacob's birthday.
03:39Anthony was predictable.
03:40The sense was faint.
03:41The bond blockers were working, but I could still smell him and her.
03:45At the end of the hallway, room 505, I heard laughter.
03:48Stop it, Anthony.
03:49You're going to ruin my makeup.
03:51You don't need makeup, Katya.
03:53You need to be fucked.
03:55The name hit me like a physical blow.
03:57Katya Shepard, the PAC school counselor.
03:59The woman who had been helping my son Jacob with his pre-shift anxiety.
04:03I pulled out my phone, slid it under the gap at the bottom of the door,
04:07and activated the camera.
04:08They walked into the frame.
04:10Anthony was shirtless.
04:11Katya was wearing a silk robe that definitely didn't belong to her.
04:15She turned and I saw it.
04:16On the junction of her neck and shoulder, a fresh bite marked.
04:19By marking her, he was declaring our marriage void in the eyes of biology.
04:24Katya reached up and traced the bite, smirking.
04:26She leaned in and nipped at Anthony's jaw.
04:29Does she suspect?
04:30Alex, she suspects nothing.
04:32She's domesticated.
04:34Weak.
04:35And Jacob?
04:36Jacob is on board.
04:37I almost dropped the phone.
04:38He thinks you're cool.
04:40He told me yesterday that he wishes you were his mother.
04:43He says Alex is embarrassing Aluna with no wolf scent.
04:46He calls her a defect.
04:49My son, my baby boy.
04:50The boy I had sacrificed my very soul to save.
04:53He knew he wasn't being groomed.
04:54He was an accomplice.
04:56Tears pricked my eyes, but I didn't let them fall.
04:58I couldn't.
04:59I gently pulled the phone back and saved the proof.
05:02I needed to know the extent of the wrong.
05:04I needed to hear it from Jacob.
05:05They were about to learn exactly where the strength came from.
05:09Anthony came home at 3 o'clock a day.
05:11I was in bed, pretending to sleep.
05:13I waited until his breathing deepened into sleep.
05:16Then I slipped out of bed.
05:17I crept down the hall to my son's room.
05:19He was on a video call.
05:21Yeah, Dad just got back.
05:22Did he tell her?
05:23No way, Mom would freak out.
05:25It's pathetic.
05:25I stood in the shadows of the doorframe.
05:28My hand gripping the wood so hard I left indentations.
05:31She's not Luna material, Katya.
05:33Mom is just a human in a wolf skin.
05:34I'm ashamed to introduce her to my friends.
05:37Don't worry, sweetie.
05:38After the gala, things will change.
05:40Your dad promised.
05:42I can't wait.
05:43Imagine having a Luna who actually looks good in a dress.
05:45A Luna who has power?
05:47Mom can't teach me anything.
05:48She doesn't even use her wolf.
05:50I slid down the wall, silent tears streaming down my face.
05:53It was the contempt.
05:54The utter lack of respect for me.
05:56For his mom.
05:57He measured worth solely by power.
05:59By aggression.
06:00He was exactly like his father.
06:02I crawled to the bathroom, leaned over the toilet, and dry-heaved.
06:06The pain in my chest was unbearable.
06:08Let us out.
06:09The voice in my head was louder this time.
06:11I looked into the mirror.
06:13My reflection was pale, but my eyes now, they were flashing.
06:17My inner wolf was clawing.
06:19The mate, the pup, they threw us away.
06:21I know.
06:22We do not weep for traitors.
06:24We hunt them.
06:24Anthony's voice made me jump.
06:26Alex?
06:27Are you okay in there?
06:29I heard a noise.
06:30I forced the wolf back.
06:31I pushed the wolf down.
06:33As I've done these 16 years.
06:35Just a stomachache.
06:36Go back to sleep.
06:37Make sure you're better by the gala.
06:39I need you there to smile and wave.
06:41I'll be there.
06:42I wouldn't miss this show for the world.
06:44I'll take a full week to prepare every piece of this stage.
06:48My phone buzzed.
06:49A message from Zara, a beta female who worked in the PAC's administrative office.
06:54I opened the attachment.
06:55It was a dossier on Luna Wannabe, a private social media account.
06:59Katia, full of words that crossed the line.
07:02About my husband.
07:02About my son.
07:03Then I opened the financial records I had pulled from the server.
07:07Anthony wasn't just cheating on me.
07:08He was cheating the PAC.
07:10He had been siphoning funds from the relief fund.
07:12All of the money went straight to funding his adulterous life with his mistress.
07:17If the council saw this, he wouldn't just lose his title.
07:19He would be exiled or executed.
07:22I saved everything to an encrypted cloud drive.
07:25It was dinner time.
07:26Anthony and Jacob were already sitting, waiting to be served.
07:29What's for dinner?
07:30Roast chicken and I have a surprise.
07:32What kind of surprise?
07:34I was thinking we should invite Miss Shepard to sit at our table for the gala, as a thank you.
07:39Anthony and Jacob exchanged a look.
07:41A look that said, she's so stupid.
07:44That?
07:44That sounds like a nice gesture.
07:47Yeah, mom.
07:47That would be cool.
07:48Great.
07:49I'll send the invite tonight.
07:50I want everything to be perfect.
07:52Anthony reached for a drumstick.
07:54I watched the grease stain his chin.
07:56Eat well, husband.
07:57It's your last meal as an alpha.
07:59Later that night, I made a call to a burner number.
08:01Marcus, it's Alex.
08:03It was Marcus, the head sound engineer for the gala venue.
08:06I had helped years ago when his daughter was sick.
08:09Luna?
08:10Is everything okay?
08:11No, Marcus, but it will be.
08:13I need a favor.
08:13A big one.
08:14Name it.
08:15I need total control of the AV system at the gala.
08:18Specifically, the main projector and the microphone override.
08:21There was a pause.
08:23You planning a show, Luna?
08:24A revolution, Marcus.
08:26Consider it done.
08:26I looked at the dress hanging on my closet door.
08:29It wasn't the one Anthony had picked out for dinner.
08:31It was deep crimson.
08:32The color of revenge and blood.
08:35My inner wolf paced in my mind.
08:36Her tail swishing in anticipation.
08:39The air of the silver moon estate.
08:41Hummed with the power of a dozen visiting alphas.
08:43I stepped out of the car.
08:44Silence rippled through the crowd near the entrance.
08:47I was wearing the crimson gown.
08:49It was bold and elegant, commanding attention.
08:51In a way I usually avoided.
08:53What the hell are you wearing?
08:55You look like a...
08:56A common distraction.
08:57I thought I'd dress up for the occasion.
08:59Don't you want your Luna to outshine the rest?
09:02He ground his teeth, but couldn't make a scene in front of the cameras.
09:06We walked into the ballroom.
09:07The scent of champagne and expensive perfume filled the air.
09:10And there she was.
09:12Katia.
09:13She was wearing a gold dress that clashed with her skin tone.
09:16Anthony was beside her, looking at her like she was a goddess.
09:19I walked up to them.
09:20Ms. Shepard, so glad you could come.
09:22Thank you, Luna.
09:23Your son was just telling me how excited he is for tonight's announcements.
09:27My eyes dropped to her neck.
09:29She was wearing a necklace.
09:30A large shimmering moonstone set in antique silver.
09:33My mother's necklace.
09:35The one I was told had been lost during the move three years ago.
09:38Rage flared in my chest, but I forced a smile.
09:41That's a beautiful piece, Katia.
09:43It looks vintage.
09:44Oh, this Anthony gave it to me.
09:46It's a family heirloom.
09:47He said it belongs on a woman who knows its worth.
09:50She fingered the stone possessively.
09:52It looks way better on you, Katia.
09:55Enjoy it while you can.
09:56What?
09:57I pointed to her glass.
09:58The champagne.
09:59It goes flat quickly.
10:01I turned and walked away.
10:02Before my restraint finally shattered, the show was just about to start.
10:07I needed to verify the final piece of my plan.
10:09I slipped toward the backstage area.
10:11I bumped into a hard chest.
10:13I looked up.
10:14He was tall.
10:15Taller than Anthony.
10:16His power radiating off him was immense.
10:19It wasn't the loud projecting power of an alpha like Anthony.
10:22It was a quiet abyssal death, like the ocean.
10:25He reached out to steady me.
10:27His fingers brushed my bare arm.
10:28A jolt of electricity, stronger than a taser, shot at my arm and slammed into my heart.
10:33My apologies.
10:34I gasped.
10:35He stiffened.
10:36Time stopped.
10:37The sounds of the party faded.
10:39All I could smell was him.
10:40Rain, ozone, and deep, dark pine forests.
10:43It was the most intoxicating scent I had ever encountered.
10:46My inner wolf suddenly threw her head back and howled.
10:49Mate.
10:50Not just a mate.
10:51A second chance mate.
10:52A gift from the goddess to those who have been wronged.
10:55I looked into his eyes.
10:56His pupils were blown wide.
10:58He was feeling it too.
11:00You-
11:00Alex, where are you going?
11:02The speeches are starting.
11:04Anthony's voice cut through the air.
11:06The spell broke.
11:07The reality of my situation crashed back down.
11:09I couldn't do this.
11:11Not now.
11:11I had a mission.
11:12I was a woman.
11:13Ready to detonate.
11:14I couldn't drag this stranger into the blast radius.
11:17I pulled away from the dark-haired man.
11:19I have to go.
11:21Wait.
11:21He tried reaching for me.
11:23I'm sorry.
11:24I turned and ran toward the stage.
11:25My heart torn between the new fire igniting in my blood and the cold ice of the revenge
11:30I had to serve.
11:31I took my seat next to Anthony on the dais.
11:33The lights dimmed.
11:34A spotlight hit the podium.
11:36Ladies and gentlemen, you're Alpha, Anthony Ortiz.
11:39Anthony stood up, buttoning his jacket.
11:41He leaned down to me.
11:42Smile.
11:43And don't say a word.
11:45I looked at him.
11:46I looked at Jacob, who was high-fiving Katya in the front row.
11:49I stood up.
11:50I won't say a word, Anthony.
11:51I'm going to scream.
11:53My pack.
11:54Tonight, we celebrate Unity.
11:56I reached-pressed the button on the remote Marcus had given me.
11:59Behind Anthony, the giant screen flickered.
12:02The pack logo disappeared.
12:03And the video of Room 505 began to play.
12:06The ballroom was silent.
12:08On the massive screen behind Anthony, the video of Room 505 played in high definition.
12:13The audio was crisp.
12:14Katya's giggle echoed off the vaulted ceilings.
12:17You don't need makeup, Katya.
12:19You need to be appeased.
12:21Collective gas ripped through the crowd.
12:22I watched Anthony's face.
12:24It turned to a sickly shade of gray.
12:26The microphone slipped from his hand and hit the floor with a deafening screech of feedback.
12:31But the video wasn't done.
12:32It cut to the clip from Katya's social media.
12:35The one where she held my grandmother's necklace.
12:37Old wife thinks he lost it at the gym.
12:39LOL.
12:40Then, the financial records scrolled past.
12:43The widow's fund used to buy a Porsche.
12:45And finally, the nail in the coffin.
12:47The clip of Katya mocking the moon goddess.
12:49She's just a fairy tale for weak wolves who need a crutch.
12:52The atmosphere in the room shifted instantly.
12:55To a room full of wolves, the air became heavy with aggression.
12:59Mocking the moon goddess was heresy.
13:00It was a death sentence in traditional circles.
13:03I stood up.
13:04Surprise.
13:05My voice wasn't amplified.
13:07But in the dead silence, everyone heard it.
13:09Anthony spun around.
13:11His eyes were wild.
13:12The pupils dilated with panic and rage.
13:14Turn it off.
13:15Turn it off now.
13:17But the screen stayed on.
13:18Marcus was loyal to me, not to a thief.
13:21Jacob was standing in the front row, his mouth open.
13:24He looked from the screen, where Katya was calling him a gullible puppy,
13:27to the real Katya standing next to him.
13:30Katya looked like a trapped rat.
13:31She took a step back, bumping into a raider.
13:34Anthony turned his rage on me.
13:36He marched across the stage, his hands balled into fists.
13:39You did this, you ungrateful, spiteful wretch.
13:42He drew himself up to his full height.
13:44He channeled his alpha aura, pushing it out in a suffocating wave
13:47intended to crush me into submission.
13:49I command you to kneel.
13:51Kneel and apologize to your alpha.
13:54It was the alpha command.
13:55A biological imperative that forces lower-ranking wolves to obey.
13:59The crowd flinched.
14:00Even some of the visiting alphas braced themselves against the force of it.
14:03I felt... nothing.
14:05Well, not nothing.
14:07I felt a tickle.
14:08Like a feather brushing against a steel wall.
14:10My inner wolf woke up fully.
14:12She laughed.
14:13He thinks he can command us?
14:14He is a dog barking at a blizzard.
14:16I didn't kneel.
14:17I didn't even blink.
14:18Instead, I took a step forward.
14:20I could feel the change.
14:22The hazel in my eyes vanished, replaced by a glowing, incandescent white silver.
14:26For ten years, I had hidden the sheer magnitude of my bloodline to keep my family safe,
14:30to keep them from feeling inadequate.
14:33Now, I let it all out.
14:34It hit the room like a physical shockwave.
14:36The glasses on the nearby tables shattered.
14:39The pressure was immense.
14:40It wasn't the heavy, suffocating weight of an alpha.
14:43It was the cold, purifying sharpness of the white wolf.
14:46It was the authority of the moon itself.
14:48Anthony's eyes widened in horror.
14:50He choked, grabbing his throat as his own command bounced back at him.
14:54Amplified tenfold.
14:55He fell to his knees.
14:56Not because he wanted to, but his wolf recognized a superior predator.
15:00I do not kneel to traitors, and I certainly do not kneel to you.
15:04My voice vibrating with a power that wasn't entirely free.
15:07Anthony was on the floor, gasping for air.
15:10Pathetic.
15:10I looked down at him.
15:12I felt no love.
15:13No hate.
15:13Just a cold detachment.
15:15The bond between us, once a vibrant golden thread in my mind, was now a rotting black rope.
15:20It pulsed with his fear.
15:21I picked up the microphone he had dropped.
15:24The moon goddess makes no mistakes.
15:26But wolves do.
15:27We have free will.
15:28And you, Anthony Ortiz, used yours to break every vow you ever made.
15:33I looked at Katya.
15:34She was trying to sneak toward the exit.
15:37Guardians.
15:37Two large warriors from a visiting pack stepped in her path.
15:40She froze, trembling.
15:42I turned back to Anthony.
15:44I needed to sever the tie.
15:45The breaking of a mate bond is described as the physical sensation of having a limb ripped off without anesthesia.
15:51But living with this rot was worse.
15:53I took a deep breath.
15:54Hi, Alexandra Wright.
15:55My voice steady and clear.
15:57No, Alex, don't.
15:59Reject you, Anthony Ortiz, as my mate.
16:01The moment the last word left my lips, the pain hit.
16:04A searing, white-hot agony.
16:06As if a branding iron had been thrust into my heart.
16:09I gritted my teeth, refusing to scream.
16:11I would not fall.
16:12Not in front of him.
16:13Anthony wasn't so strong.
16:15He shrieked.
16:15He curled into a ball on the stage, clutching his chest, clawing at his shirt as if trying
16:20to dig the pain out.
16:21Blood trickled from his nose.
16:23The bond snapped with a metaphysical sound like a thunderclap.
16:26I exhaled, shaky but standing.
16:28The pain began to fade, replaced by a hollow emptiness.
16:32But beneath the ache, there was something else.
16:34The constant nagging anxiety I had felt for years was gone.
16:38I was free.
16:39I walked to the edge of the stage.
16:41I pulled the simple silver band off my finger.
16:44The ring I had worn for 18 years.
16:46I flicked it.
16:47It bounced off Anthony's forehead and skittered across the floor.
16:50Then I looked at Jacob.
16:51My son was crying.
16:53He looked terrified.
16:54He looked at me, pleading.
16:55Mom.
16:56You wanted a strong mother, Jacob.
16:58You wanted a Luna with power.
17:00Well, here she is.
17:01I didn't mean it.
17:02I didn't know you were this.
17:04I didn't feel triumph.
17:05I just felt tired.
17:06I reached for the neckline of my dress and tore the delicate crimson fabric, exposing my chest.
17:11The crowd gasped.
17:13Jacob's eyes widened.
17:14Etched into the skin over my heart was a massive, gnarled scar.
17:17It looked like a lightning strike, silver and raised against my pale skin.
17:22It was the mark of the essence transfer, a forbidden ritual where a wolf gives up their vitality to save
17:27another.
17:27You called me a defect.
17:29You mocked me for being weak, for sleeping too much, for having no scent.
17:33I pointed at the scar.
17:34I was dying, Jacob.
17:36For 16 years, I have been slowly dying because I poured my wolf into your lungs the night you were
17:41born.
17:41You were blue.
17:42You weren't breathing.
17:43The doctors gave up.
17:45Jacob staggered back as if I'd slapped him.
17:48No, that's not...
17:49I gave you my strength, and you used it to laugh at me with my husband's mistress.
17:53Mom, I didn't know...
17:54He screamed, tears streaming down his face.
17:56Ignorance is not an excuse for cruelty.
17:58I turned my back on them.
18:00I walked down the stairs of the stage.
18:02The crowd parted for me like the Red Sea.
18:04Alphas bowed their heads as I passed him.
18:06They could smell the white wolf blood now.
18:08They knew royalty when they saw it.
18:10I walked out the double doors and into the cool night air.
18:13The moon was full and bright.
18:15Waiting by the valet stand, leaning against the black sedan, was the man with the storm cloud eyes.
18:20Evan.
18:21He straightened up as I approached.
18:22He didn't say a word.
18:24He just opened the passenger door.
18:26I stopped in front of him.
18:27The electric current buzzed between us, soothing the raw edges of my snapped bar.
18:31Where to?
18:32Anywhere but here.
18:34Your carriage awaits, Luna.
18:35I got in.
18:36As we drove away, I didn't look back at the spaceship.
18:38I looked up at the moon.
18:39We did it.
18:40We're just getting started.
18:47The pain was intense.
18:49It felt like a vital part of me had been ripped away.
18:52I lay on the stage, struggling for breath, watching the taillights of a car disappear down the driveway.
19:00She was gone.
19:01Alex was gone.
19:03The silence in the room was more profound than any alpha command.
19:07I looked up.
19:09Hundreds of eyes were staring at me.
19:11Not with fear or respect, but with judgment.
19:16Anthony Ortiz.
19:17The voice was dry and measured.
19:19Elder Thomas stepped onto the stage.
19:22He looked at the screen, where the evidence of my actions was still displayed.
19:29The council has reviewed the documents provided by Alexandra Wright.
19:33Embezzlement of the Widows Fund.
19:35Improper relations.
19:36With a subordinate.
19:38And the public disgrace of a white wolf.
19:41I gasped, trying to sit up.
19:44She framed me.
19:45She's lying.
19:46The financial records are in your name, Anthony.
19:49Your actions were evident.
19:51He struck his wooden staff onto the stage floor.
19:54The sound echoed sharply.
19:55By the authority of the council, you are hereby stripped of the title of alpha.
20:01You are demoted to Omega.
20:03Your assets are frozen pending restitution to the victims.
20:07No, you can't do this.
20:09It is decided.
20:10And as for the woman...
20:12He gestured towards Katia.
20:14She was being held by two guards.
20:17Her appearance was disheveled.
20:19Her dress damaged.
20:21Katia's shepherd is exiled.
20:22She is rogue.
20:23If she is found on Silver Moon, territory after sunrise, she will be removed.
20:29Katia cried out as they led her away.
20:31I looked at Jacob.
20:33Son.
20:33Jacob was staring at the spot where his mother had been.
20:37He looked devastated.
20:38The arrogance that had defined him.
20:41Years had vanished.
20:43Leaving behind a vulnerable, trembling boy.
20:46You knew.
20:47You knew she helped me.
20:50Jacob, listen.
20:51You told me she was inside.
20:54You left.
20:55Me took her for it.
20:57She sacrificed for me.
21:00You're not.
21:00He looked at his hands.
21:02A dawning realization on his face.
21:04Don't speak to me.
21:06You rejected me.
21:07I regretted you completely.
21:09It turned and ran out of the hall.
21:11I was alone.
21:12I reached out with my mind, desperately.
21:15I sent a thought, toward her, trying to find a familiar, connection between us.
21:20But there was nothing.
21:21She had severed our link.
21:23Not just through external, means.
21:25But with her own resolve.
21:27I had been a leader.
21:28Now, I was nothing.
21:31Three months had passed.
21:33My life was unrecognizable.
21:34I had rented a loft in the city center.
21:37My interior design business, White Wolf Interiors, was fully booked for the next year.
21:41Turns out, when you stop hiding your talent, the world notices.
21:45I was at the Saturday art market, browsing for fabrics.
21:48The sun was warm on my skin.
21:50I think the blue silk matches your eyes.
21:52He smiled and turned.
21:53Evan was holding two cups of coffee.
21:55He had been patient.
21:57He hadn't pushed for a marking or a commitment.
21:59He simply existed in my orbit, a steady, protective presence.
22:03He let me heal.
22:04You think everything matches my eyes?
22:06I'm biased.
22:07We walked through the stalls.
22:08The electric hum of our bond was a pleasant background noise now, not a shock.
22:13It felt like coming home.
22:14Suddenly, the hair on the back of my neck stood up.
22:17My nose twitched.
22:18Rotting peaches and madness.
22:20Down.
22:21He shoved me hard.
22:22I stumbled, falling onto a display of handmade soaps.
22:25A silver dagger whizzed through the air, occupying the space where my head had been a second ago.
22:30It embedded itself in a wooden post with a sickening flap.
22:33You stole my life.
22:35Katya screamed.
22:36She emerged from behind a van, her hair matted, her clothes filthy.
22:40She looked skeletal.
22:41The life of a rogue had not been current.
22:43Behind her were four men, mercenaries.
22:46They smelled of dirt and blood.
22:47And they were all holding silver weapons.
22:50Katya, this is over.
22:51Go away.
22:51You took the alpha.
22:53You took the money.
22:54You took everything.
22:55She lunged.
22:56I didn't think.
22:57I acted.
22:58I let the white wolf out.
22:59My bones cracked and reshaped in a split second.
23:02It was a fluid shift, painless after months of retraining.
23:05I exploded out of my clothes, landing on the pavement as a massive wolf would fur the color of fresh
23:10snow.
23:10I was twice the size of a normal female.
23:13I roared.
23:14A sound that shattered car windows in her body.
23:16The mercenaries hesitated.
23:18They had never seen a white wolf.
23:48But Katya was insane with jealousy.
23:49A wall of darkness protecting the light.
23:51The other three men stepped forward, looking ready to act.
23:54Movement was a blur as I stepped in to block one man from coming closer.
23:58Evan moved quickly to deter the other two, keeping them from advancing further.
24:02Katya was the last one left.
24:04She clutched a silver dart gun, her hands trembling.
24:07She held the gun up, hesitating to point it directly at me.
24:09Stay away from me.
24:11She pulled the trigger, her eyes squeezing shut.
24:14I couldn't move in time, tensing up, expecting a sharp sensation from the silver.
24:18But nothing hit me.
24:19Evan threw himself in front of me.
24:21The dart graced his shoulder lightly.
24:23He let out a soft sound of discomfort that tugged at my heart, stumbling slightly but regaining his balance.
24:29The silver had a mild effect, making him wince with a dull ache.
24:33I felt a surge of work, my vision clouding for a moment.
24:35I ran toward Katya, gently taking the gun from her hand to stop her from acting again.
24:40No harm done, just calming her down.
24:42Sirens wailed in the distance.
24:44The pack enforcers were on their way.
24:46I shifted back to human form, quickly covering myself, and dropped to my knees beside Evan.
24:51He had shifted back too, his face pale, sweat dotting his forehead.
24:54The silver dart was still near his shoulder, with no visible mark from the grays.
24:59Evan, stay with me.
25:00He opened his eyes, looking dazed.
25:02Did, did I stop it?
25:03I pressed my hands gently over the spot where the dart hit.
25:07You idiot, you saved me.
25:08Always.
25:09The quiet room was filled with the soft scent of lilies and morning light.
25:13Evan was resting, slowly reclaiming the strength he had shared with the land.
25:17You should be focusing on your recovery.
25:19And Alpha's essence restores quickly.
25:22The ancient shadows took a toll, but I am here.
25:29Many thought the recent trials would be too much to bear.
25:37He was built to endure any storm.
25:40I sat beside him, watching the peace return to his face.
25:43The cost was almost too high.
25:45He reached out and took my hand.
25:46His touch was steady and warm.
25:48I waited lifetimes for you, Alex.
25:50I wasn't going to let unforeseen forces take that away.
25:53I am stronger than I look.
25:55I know, and that is why I need you.
25:57He looked at me, his storm-gray eyes filled with a new, quiet determination.
26:01Build a future with me, Alex.
26:03Lead the shadow blood pack by my side.
26:05Be my Luna.
26:06I paused, cherishing the freedom I had worked so hard to find.
26:10I will not be a shadow or a silent partner.
26:12I have my own legacy to lead.
26:14I don't want a shadow, I want a sun.
26:16Lead your path.
26:17Rebuild our world together.
26:19I want an equal, always.
26:20Was the respect I had always deserved?
26:22Then the answer is yes.
26:24We shared a quiet moment, sealing a vow for the days to come.
26:27A light knock at the door broke the silence.
26:29Silas, the loyal beta, stepped in.
26:32Luna, there are those who wish to speak with you.
26:34We walked out into the hallway.
26:36Jacob stood there.
26:37He looked weary and lost.
26:39The fire of his old pride extinguished.
26:41When he saw me, he bowed his head in deep regret.
26:44Mom, please, everything has changed.
26:46We have lost our back.
26:47I looked at him, feeling only the distance between our worlds.
26:50The path behind us had faded, and there was no turning back.
26:54Look forward, Jacob.
26:55He looked up, searching for a sign of the past.
26:58Is there a place for us to return?
26:59I shook my head slowly, my voice firm but calm.
27:03Peace is a path you must find for yourself now.
27:06Mom.
27:06You chose your journey.
27:08If you seek respect, create it.
27:09Become the person you were meant to be, not the shadow of the past.
27:13I saw Anthony at the far end of the hall.
27:15He looked aged by his own choices, the arrogance finally gone.
27:19He looked at me, then at the door where my new life waited.
27:22He gave a single slow nod, a final acknowledgement of the truth.
27:26He turned and walked away, his presence fading into the shadows of the corridor.
27:30Support your father.
27:32He needs a new direction, and so do you.
27:34I stepped back into the room, leaving the old world behind.
27:37Evan held out his hand.
27:38I took it.
27:39We walked out into the light together.
27:41The sky was a masterpiece of gold and violet trees.
27:44He took a deep breath, feeling the pulse of the earth beneath my feet.
27:47I was Alexander Rudd.
27:49I was Alexander Rudd.
27:49I was Alexander Rudd.
27:49I was Alexander Rudd.
27:49I was Alexander Rudd.
27:50I was Alexander Rudd.
27:50I was Alexander Rudd.
27:51I was Alexander Rudd.
27:51I was Alexander Rudd.
27:51I was Alexander Rudd.
27:51Gracias por ver el video.
