07:40I
07:40you
07:40I
07:42I
07:46Hello?
08:03Stop right there, Mrs. Olivia.
08:07So, a small-town girl with a high school diploma who can't even tell which fork to use, what makes
08:13you think you're qualified?
08:16Quick qualified? What makes you deserve to stand by his side?
08:20It took me three years to get where I am.
08:22Three years of crisis, of staying up with him through countless nights, and you?
08:25You just lay around for a few months, spread your legs, and that's it?
08:28I never thought of it that way.
08:30Remember your place, janitor.
08:33Once your debt is paid, get the hell out of the White House.
08:37Miss Olivia, classified documents are missing from the Oval Office.
08:40What?
08:42Which thief has the guts to steal from the Presidential Office?
08:46Hey, babies, Mommy's home.
08:50Mommy!
08:51We got you a present.
08:52A present?
08:54A present? What kind of present could you two little rascals have for me?
09:00For you, Mommy.
09:03Mommy.
09:05Here.
09:06Take this.
09:07The Presidential seal?
09:09The nuclear button briefcase?
09:11No, no!
09:18So you two are the crazy little thieves?
09:21How could you steal this stuff?
09:23We were just looking for food for Mommy.
09:27We found it in some room.
09:28This ring is so pretty, Mommy.
09:30You should wear it.
09:32Oh, no.
09:33Oh, no.
09:33We are so screwed.
09:36Code red.
09:37Locked in the White House.
09:38Search every room.
09:39Not one corner gets missed.
09:41Oh, my God.
09:42If the President finds out it was these two pups who stole it, we're done for.
09:46Mr. President, we've searched every other room in the White House.
09:49This is the last one in the maids' quarters.
09:52Open the door.
09:58There they are!
10:00Right here!
10:02Oh, my God.
10:03Caught red-handed.
10:04I'm definitely going to jail.
10:06Leah Cole.
10:07Why are my Presidential seal and the nuclear Bolton briefcase in your room?
10:11Mr. President, I...
10:13I don't know anything.
10:14I went to work early this morning, and when I got back, these things were just...
10:18here.
10:19It must be the real thief.
10:21They probably realized they couldn't get out of the White House, so they dumped the
10:24stuff in my room to throw everyone off, or set me up.
10:27That lie is full of holes.
10:28Your room is so remote.
10:30Which thief would just happen to come here?
10:33You're obviously the one who stole it, you little lying bitch!
10:35Just tell the truth already!
10:36Ma'am, look at me!
10:37I'm just someone who cleans here.
10:39Why would I steal something like that?
10:40I've got no motive!
10:41Mr. President, don't forget.
10:44This woman already faked a pregnancy and lied to you.
10:46When she got caught, she held a grudge.
10:48I wouldn't be surprised if she's been bought off by your political enemies.
10:51That's why she stole the Presidential seal and the nuclear button briefcase, to set you
10:55up and destroy your reputation.
10:56Tell me, who put you up to this?
10:59Was it that wig-wearing senator next door?
11:01I swear, I didn't!
11:03Mr. President, this woman is too calculating.
11:06Keeping her around you is a ticking time bomb.
11:08I think we should charge her with espionage, and throw her in prison, right now!
11:13No, I'm not a spy!
11:14I-I swear!
11:15Then let's do it in your way.
11:23Oh my god.
11:26Get down from there, now!
11:28That's the President!
11:29Do you have any idea about how much his shoes cost?
11:37What the hell is that filthy thing?
11:43You dirty bitch!
11:45You didn't clean properly, so you attracted these strays!
11:47Someone!
11:48Kill these animals!
11:49Throw them in the trash!
11:50No!
11:55Mr. President, they're just two stray dogs with nowhere to go.
11:58I felt bad for them, so I've been hiding them here.
12:00They're like my own kids.
12:02I'm just a single mom trying to raise two little ones.
12:04It's hard enough.
12:05Please, don't hurt them.
12:06I swear I'll train them to use the toilet, and they won't chew up your shoes!
12:12Mr. President!
12:13These are clearly wolf cubs, but she's raising them like dogs.
12:17And weird thing is, holding this little guy gives me a strange feeling like I've seen him somewhere before.
12:23You really like them, huh?
12:27Well, duh.
12:28They're my kids.
12:29Of course I like them.
12:31Yes!
12:31They're adorable!
12:33Please just let me keep them.
12:34I swear they won't bite, won't make a mess.
12:37I'll even put diapers on them if I have to.
12:41Too bad they're just regular wolf pups.
12:44Wish they were werewolves.
12:46This ends here.
12:47No one speaks of this.
12:49Thank you, Mr. President.
13:02We're finally gone.
13:04You two little rascals best behave from now on.
13:07If you pull something like that again, I swear I'll hand you over to Olivia.
13:12You can be her little hand warmers.
13:26Mr. President, I checked it out.
13:28Not so strange.
13:29The woman brought them to the hospital.
13:30But where they actually came from, that I couldn't trace.
13:34No way she secretly had two puppies while she was in the hospital.
13:38So why lie?
13:40I wasn't pregnant.
13:41That wasn't a baby coming out.
13:43That was a massive, toxic, waist-level crap.
13:47One whiff, and the guy dropped like a fly.
13:53Find the doctor who delivered her baby.
13:56Yes, sir.
14:07Hey, easy now.
14:09I won't bite.
14:10But wow, I've never seen a dog as big as you before.
14:16What is that woman hiding?
14:21Mr. President, she was the one on delivery duty that day.
14:25Tell me, what did you see when that woman gave birth?
14:30I didn't see anything.
14:35Tell the truth.
14:36Okay, okay, I'll talk.
14:37I saw that she didn't give birth to a baby.
14:40She gave birth of two puppies.
14:43And then I passed out from shock.
14:47You're saying she gave birth to two wolf pops?
14:50Yes, I swear.
14:51Every word is true.
14:52I've never seen a woman give birth to puppies before.
14:55So that's it.
14:56Yesterday was so weird.
14:58Stealing the presidential seal and the nuclear button briefcase is supposed to be a one-way ticket to prison.
15:02But he totally let me off.
15:03And he even touched my pups.
15:05Maybe he likes dogs too?
15:06Get the cages ready.
15:07I'm getting those mutts out of the White House today.
15:17Quick!
15:18Hide!
15:24What are kids' dishes doing here?
15:26Those are for feeding my dogs.
15:29Feeding dogs?
15:30With people's dishes?
15:32Leah Cole.
15:32This is the White House, not your trailer park.
15:35Now hand over those mutts.
15:37The president said I could keep them.
15:39The president runs a country.
15:41You think he remembers some low-life stray dogs?
15:45Search the place.
15:46Find those little beasts.
15:47I'm throwing them out myself.
15:56Stop!
15:57The president said I could keep them.
15:59You can't...
16:00Out of my way!
16:06You think I don't know what you're doing?
16:09Playing the poor girl with two dogs so the president takes notice of you?
16:13Let me tell you something.
16:15You're not even fit to tie his shoes.
16:18There you little bastards are!
16:22Grab them.
16:25Stray dogs dare to bite bite?
16:27Kill them!
16:29Do it now!
16:32No!
16:34Hit her.
16:47Don't move.
16:48You forgot what you promised mommy yesterday.
16:53Promise me.
16:54Never shift in front of anyone else or it'll bring trouble to us.
17:00Okay, mommy.
17:04What are you waiting for?
17:05Pull those little beasts out!
17:09No!
17:10Don't hurt my kids!
17:12Kids?
17:13What kids?
17:15What are you waiting for?
17:21Pull those little beasts out!
17:23Do it so bad?
17:24You actually think two stray dogs are your kids?
17:27You can't have a real baby so you're raising mutts as substitutes?
17:30You're disgusting!
17:32You'd throw away every shred of dignity just to be first lady?
17:37You scheming little bitch.
17:39I'm not letting you stick around.
17:42I'm going to make you watch these little beasts die.
17:45Throw these stray dogs in the cage and kill them!
17:56Babies.
17:56Don't be scared.
17:59Mommy's here.
18:00What are you waiting for?
18:01Hit her too!
18:02Beat her until she stops moving!
18:16I'd like to see anyone touch her.
18:27Mr. President.
18:29Mr. President, what brings you here?
18:31This place is beneath you.
18:32Olivia, you've got some nerve.
18:34I made it clear she's allowed to keep these two here.
18:36Why do you bring people to hurt them?
18:38Mr. President, you misunderstand.
18:39I was worried about rabies.
18:41What if they pose a risk to you?
18:42I was just going to have them checked out and bring them back.
18:47She's... she's lying.
18:48She just wanted to kill my dogs.
18:50Sorry I'm late.
18:59These two are cleaner than the bottom of your shoes.
19:21Oh my god, the president?
19:24The president is holding me?
19:26What kind of script is this?
19:28He saved me?
19:29And he's being gentle?
19:32Am I hilarious?
19:32Are you hallucinating from getting beat up?
19:35Olivia, since you care so much about the pets running around the White House, security's
19:39looking for someone to walk the dogs.
19:41You'd be perfect.
19:42Mr. President, I just didn't think it through.
19:44But I was only worried about your safety.
19:46You too.
19:47Are you here to protect me or are you Olivia's personal bodyguards?
19:50Mr. President, we...
19:52If you can't figure out who signs your checks, I'll send you somewhere you'll learn fast.
19:55They're short on people in the Middle East.
19:57You leave tomorrow.
19:59See what a real field assignment looks like.
20:01Mr. President, we're sorry!
20:02Please, give us another chance!
20:04Mr. President, this young lady has extensive bruising and contusions on her back.
20:08I've already disinfected the area, just needs oint applied regularly.
20:11I'll do it.
20:18Um, maybe I should just do it myself?
20:21I mean, your hands are for signing treaties, not for...
20:25Oh my god, the president just touched me!
20:27Why is he being so nice to me?
20:28We've only known each other for a few days.
20:30Is he... is he up to something?
20:38I promise you, what happened today will never happen again.
20:41Thank you for saving me, Mr. President.
20:46Come in.
20:48Mr. President, about what happened today, it was my mistake.
20:52I hope you can forgive me.
20:53Olivia, I've never doubted your work.
20:56But you need to understand, my personal life is none of your business.
21:01Yes, sir.
21:03From today on, Leah Cole is no longer a cleaner.
21:05Move her into the room next to mine.
21:08What?!
21:09And one more thing.
21:11The White House Correspondents' Dinner is the day after tomorrow.
21:13Leah will attend as my girlfriend, we're making it official.
21:16Girlfriend?
21:17Girlfriend?
21:18Mr. President?
21:19This... this isn't right, I'm just a cleaner, I...
21:23No one deserves it more than you.
21:26What is wrong with this man?
21:27Did someone drug him?
21:29I mean, okay, he's hot and the body's not bad, but this is too fast.
21:32I am not ready for this.
21:33Mr. President!
21:34Every major media outlet will be at that dinner.
21:36Announcing a surrogate as your girlfriend out of nowhere is reckless.
21:39If they dig into her background, your reputation...
21:41Then this is a test of your public relations skills, Olivia.
21:43I'm sure you'll do a great job with the dinner party.
21:48Too bad he doesn't know.
21:50These two little ones are his own flesh and blood.
21:52Only these two pups are truly mine.
21:55None of those women bore my seed, but no one can know I'm a werewolf.
21:59Their real identity has to stay hidden for now.
22:09Ms. Cole, this is your room.
22:11If you need anything, just call me.
22:20Okay, come out, babies.
22:24Mommy!
22:29My good babies.
22:33Kids?
22:34You're sure the maid heard right?
22:35Positive.
22:36Two kids, four or five years old, called her mommy.
22:39Ugh.
22:40Got it.
22:41This bitch makes a living by spreading her legs for surrogacy.
22:44Those brats are probably leftovers from some job.
22:46Baby data ran off.
22:47No one wanted them, so she got stuck with them.
22:49Then we should tell the president.
22:50Let him know she's got two kids in tow.
22:51He'll dump her for sure.
22:52That's too easy for her.
22:54Tomorrow is the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
22:57Every media outlet in the country will be there.
22:59I'm gonna destroy her in front of everyone.
23:01She'll crawl out of the White House in shame.
23:05Mommy's going to a dinner tonight.
23:07You two stay here, sleep tight, and no sneaking out.
23:11Got it?
23:12Got it, Mommy.
23:13Bye-bye, Mommy.
23:20Mr. President, we hear you're announcing something big tonight.
23:24Any hints?
23:25You'll know soon enough.
23:37Who is she?
23:38I don't remember any first lady looking that young and gorgeous.
23:40Maybe some European princess?
23:42She's got that kind of vibe.
23:43Whoever she is, tomorrow's front page is locked.
24:00You look stunning tonight.
24:01Shall we dance?
24:05Mr. President, I don't know how.
24:09Just follow my lead.
24:16The President is... dancing with her?
24:19This is huge!
24:28No, no, no. Snap out of it, Leah.
24:30He's the President.
24:31Half the women in America would could kill to marry him.
24:34What makes you think a small town janitor even stands a chance?
24:37Get a grip.
24:40Allow me to introduce my girlfriend, Leah Cole.
24:48He actually said it.
24:53Mr. President, what's Ms. Cole's background?
24:56How long have you two been together?
24:58How did you meet?
25:01Don't be afraid.
25:04My girlfriend is an ordinary girl.
25:06No noble background.
25:07No complicated past.
25:07She's clean.
25:08She's simple.
25:08I don't want my position to affect our relationship.
25:11I'm counting on all of you.
25:12Please, leave her alone.
25:16Ms. Cole, do you feel pressure being the President's girlfriend?
25:21I...
25:21How many boyfriends have you had before?
25:25I've never dated anyone.
25:26So that means the President is your first love.
25:34Sorry to interrupt you, Mr. President.
25:36But there are two children at the door.
25:38They say they're looking for their mother.
25:39I wasn't sure how to handle it because the person they're looking for, I didn't dare stop them.
25:46My babies!
25:52I stared wide-eyed, frozen in fear.
25:54My father, father, Alpha Heart, had pupupils glowing like molten fire,
25:59baring his fangs as he lunged at his brother Damien.
26:03Only fierce snars filled the air.
26:05This was a cruel fight for the Alpha Throne.
26:08And the silver moonlight had long been stained red.
26:12Their powers collided.
26:14A shockwave ripped through the trees.
26:17Damien's body flied backwards, slammed into a boulder,
26:20and slided down, unconscious.
26:22My father stumbled.
26:25He dropped to one knee, gasping.
26:27Blood poured from deep wounds across his chest and arms.
26:32Daddy!
26:36Then, I stumbled out of the bushes and fell into my father's arms.
26:41He was weak, stroked my hair.
26:45Don't cry, my little moon.
26:47For the pack's peace, this is worth it.
26:51From now on, hide your name.
26:54Go with Beta Cole.
26:56He'll protect you.
26:58He gently pushed me away.
26:59Beta Cole lifted me.
27:01I cried out for my father.
27:04No! Daddy!
27:07Alpha Heart smiled, eyes closed.
27:10A silver light emanated from his body, flooding the forest.
27:13My dad's last strength becomes a barrier to protect our pack and me.
27:18Thus, my wolf will stay sealed until 16.
27:22Later, I came to the Cole family.
27:24They treated me like their own, especially Adrian.
27:27On that day, sunlight glinted through the trees.
27:30Beta Cole carried me from the car.
27:32At the gate, Adrian, who was eight years old, ran towards us.
27:36He was gentle.
27:38Hi, I'm Adrian Cole.
27:40Dad said I have a little sister now.
27:41That's you?
27:43Selena.
27:44I'm Selena.
27:46Cole.
27:47Then I'll call you Lena.
27:49I'll protect you.
27:51I nodded, smiled through tears, our hands clasped tightly.
27:55I also remembered that day.
27:57My birthday in this home, Adrian placed a crystal crown on my head and kissed my cheek.
28:02Happy birthday, my princess.
28:04I closed my eyes and made a wish.
28:06I wish Adrian would be here.
28:08Every birthday.
28:09Always.
28:10One day, I was cornered by wolf boys, trembling with tears.
28:15You think a human can join us?
28:18Dream on!
28:20Adrian came charging from a distance and shoved the boys away fiercely.
28:24Touch my sister again?
28:26I'll rip out your throats.
28:28All of you!
28:30His eyes flashed gold, then wolf boys froze.
28:33They scrambled away, tripped over each other.
28:37Adrian and I run through tall grass, laughing, out of breath.
28:42We collapsed, side by side, hands clasped, stared up at the moon.
28:47Selena, even if you're a human, my Luna could only be you.
28:50When I went to school, I wore the school uniform and stood beside the car.
28:55Adrian opened the car door and gently pulled me close to kiss my hair.
29:00Lena, the seat next to me will always be yours.
29:02I thought this happiness would last forever.
29:05Until that girl, Lyra's shadow appeared.
29:07The happy memories flashed backward, faster and faster.
29:10My snap to reality.
29:11I opened the passenger door of the luxury car.
29:14Lyra leaned against Adrian, laughed softly.
29:17Why is she coming home with us?
29:19Lyra's not feeling well, I'm just dropping her off.
29:22Adrian was impatient, as Lyra shot me a look, poison.
29:26A smirk curled her lips.
29:27Then she draped herself around Adrian's neck, played weak.
29:31You said the seat next to you would always be mine.
29:35Childish. It's just a seat. Take the back today.
29:38Adrian gestured with his chin.
29:40I opened the back door.
29:44I gasped in pain. Blood seeped from my foot.
29:48Adrian!
29:49Walk home yourself. Don't make a scene.
29:57Suddenly, raindrops falled.
29:59Then a downpour.
30:01I hugged myself.
30:02Shivered.
30:03Stared at my bleeding foot with hollow eyes.
30:06Rain mixes with blood.
30:08My eyes fluttered closed.
30:10When I woke up again, I slowly opened my eyes.
30:14An IV drip ran into my arm.
30:16Then, Adrian rushed into the room in a panic.
30:20Adrian still cares about me.
30:21I thought.
30:22I sit up slightly. Warmth flickered in my chest.
30:25Adrian had already at my bedside.
30:26His eyes burned with rage.
30:28So you told my dad Lyra pushed you?
30:30And now you fake being sick?
30:31You're the worst, Selene!
30:32I freezed.
30:34Before I could explain, Adrian grabbed my arm and yanked me out of bed.
30:38Wait! Adrian!
30:40I gasped as the needle ripped out of my arm.
30:43The IV dupe whipped through the air.
30:45Blood beaded instantly on my skin.
30:48I stumbled and fall to my knees in pain.
30:51A streak of red ran down my arm.
30:53Adrian's anger cracked just for a moment.
30:55He stared at the wound.
30:57His breath catches.
30:58His fingers trickled slightly and almost reached for me.
31:01Selene, I'm-
31:03Adrian! Help!
31:05Adrian froze for half a second.
31:07Then his face hardened again.
31:08Lyra!
31:09He ran out urgently without a second glance at me.
31:13I clutched my bleeding arm, forced myself up.
31:16Paled and tribbled.
31:17I followed him.
31:19Limped. Stumbled.
31:20Lyra was bound to the sofa.
31:21Tears streamed down her face.
31:23Fresh whip marked cover her arms and shoulders.
31:25Beta Cole stood over her.
31:27Whipped in hand, feared radiating from him.
31:28He raised the whip.
31:29Adrian bursted in and throwed himself in front of his father.
31:32Dad! Stop!
31:33Lyra's too fragile! Kill her!
31:34And step back!
31:35This is punishment for her!
31:37It's all my fault!
31:39Don't think I won't hit you, boy.
31:42The whip cracked down, again and again.
31:45I stood in the doorway, watched.
31:47Grief tightened my face.
31:49My hands curled into fists.
31:52Beta Cole didn't stop, until he sensed my watching.
31:54He looked at me, then gave a slight bow.
31:57Adrian seethed with resentment, turned on his father in a low, bitter voice.
32:01Why do you treat her like this?
32:02Ever since she came, our Alpha's gone and we've been hunted.
32:05She is a curse!
32:07Shut up, Adrian.
32:08You have no idea who you're talking to?
32:10Beta Cole dropped the whip and gestured for me to follow.
32:14We walked toward the study room.
32:16A tear traced silver down my cheek.
32:18Warm light filled the study.
32:20Surrounded by ancient books, I looked at Beta.
32:23Princess, we talked about you leaving or staying.
32:26I will leave for the trials, become Alpha, inherit my father's will, and protect our pack.
32:33Impressive. Truly, you are the daughter of Alpha Heart.
32:37I lowered my head slightly, nervous but unwavering.
32:40Once your status is restored, you will no longer enjoy the life of an ordinary person.
32:45You'll bear far greater responsibility.
32:46Responsibility will make me happier.
32:48I used to think Adrian would give me a normal life, a simple happiness.
32:53But everything changed.
32:57I apologize for my son.
32:59I don't mind.
33:01Next week, you turn 16.
33:04You will awaken as an Alpha.
33:06You will have your own wolf.
33:07I'll arrange your leave from school.
33:09You'll go to the training camp for Alpha initiation.
33:12And you will become a brave Alpha.
33:15Just like your father.
33:17Thank you. For everything.
33:19Then I walked slowly out of the study, calm but filled with quiet strength.
33:23The moment I stepped out, Adrian appeared, pinned me against the wall.
33:27We stood inches apart.
33:28You.
33:29Jealousy.
33:30Hatred.
33:31Why are you targeting Lya?
33:33Because you think she's stealing my attention from you?
33:35I looked up.
33:36Met his eyes.
33:37I let out a small laugh.
33:39Cold and distant.
33:41Adrian.
33:42Not everything is about you.
33:44Adrian froze.
33:45A few seconds of silence.
33:47He stepped closer, fisted clenching slightly.
33:50His voice raw with anger.
33:52And something else.
33:53Enough!
33:54If you want my attention, then be nice to Lyra.
33:57She cries every night because of you.
33:59I shook my head, my gaze steady.
34:02Everything changed.
34:04I am no longer the girl you thought you knew.
34:07Done waiting.
34:09Done hoping.
34:10For the boy I love to see me.
34:13Adrian stood frozen.
34:14Speechless.
34:16I gently pushed past him and walked away.
34:19Steady.
34:20Unharried.
34:20And resolute.
34:24I walked into the empty locker room alone.
34:27I looked down at my injured foot.
34:29Gently touched it.
34:30The wound seeped slightly.
34:32But my eyes.
34:34Unwavering.
34:34Once I regain the power of Alpha.
34:37I will be able to heal myself.
34:39Suddenly, sharp giggles from outside.
34:41Followed by the click of heels on the floor.
34:44Lyra appeared in the doorway with two followers.
34:46Each step slow and deliberate.
34:48Well, well.
34:50Look who's finally showing up.
34:51Bastard!
34:52Just a useless waste!
34:53One of the girl mocked.
34:55The three girls closed in.
34:56Backed me into a corner by the lockers.
34:58My back hit the wall.
34:59My expression stayed calm.
35:01But my shoulder tense slightly.
35:03Another girl yanked my backpack.
35:07Look at those shoes.
35:09They are screaming for help.
35:11Too bad you can't.
35:12They tugged at my uniform.
35:14The fabric tears.
35:16Exposed my shoulder.
35:18Lyra stepped closer.
35:19Smirk still in place.
35:21She pulled a pen from her pocket.
35:23Clicked it.
35:24And moved in.
35:25Bitch.
35:26I'm gonna give you back everything I suffered last night.
35:29Every...
35:30Bit of it.
35:31Then, she jabbed the pen tip into my shoulder.
35:34Suddenly, the silver mark on my wrist began to glow.
35:38The air ripples.
35:40Locker doors rattled gently.
35:42Books slid off shelves.
35:44A pulse of energy blasted outward.
35:46The girls stumbled back.
35:48Crashed into the lockers.
35:49Shrieked.
35:50Lyra doubled over.
35:51Then looked up in terror.
35:53I stepped forward slowly.
35:55Calmly.
35:56I reached out and gripped Lyra's chin.
35:58From now on...
36:00No one touches me without permission.
36:03Especially you, Lyra.
36:06Lyra shoved my hand away.
36:08Trembled.
36:09Suddenly, Adrian bursted in.
36:11Throat himself between Lyra and I.
36:13Stay back, Selene!
36:14What the hell are you doing?
36:18See?
36:19She's doing it again!
36:21She's always bullying me!
36:23Adrian hesitated for half a second.
36:25Then bought it.
36:26He whirled on me.
36:27There you go again!
36:29It's always you, isn't it?
36:31Stirring up trouble wherever you go!
36:34I inhaled slowly.
36:35A cold, bitter smile tugged at my lips.
36:39I shook my head.
36:40How could I ever...
36:42like an idiot like you?
36:43Heard that.
36:44Adrian's face dartened.
36:46Lyra's father died protecting this pack.
36:47She's a hero's daughter.
36:49You?
36:49You're just some human girl.
36:51If my dad hadn't taken you in, you'd be dead long ago.
36:53My hands clenched into fists.
36:55My eyes reddened.
36:56I trembled, but not from fear.
36:58Lyra's father was a traitor.
37:00He tried to take the alpha position.
37:02My father fought him to save the pack.
37:04But I can't tell anyone.
37:05Who'd believe me?
37:06I took a deep breath.
37:07I moved to leave.
37:08But Adrian blocked my path with his arm out.
37:10Selene, apologize to Lyra.
37:12Now!
37:13I stopped and met his eyes.
37:14Impossible.
37:15Adrian's browed tightens.
37:16He stepped closer.
37:18Voice dropped to a low threat.
37:19I don't beat girls.
37:22But...
37:22If you dare touch me, you cannot bear that responsibility.
37:26I raised my arm.
37:27Pulled up my sleeve, my pant leg.
37:29Revealed scars.
37:30Bruises.
37:31Wounds.
37:32Layered over time.
37:33Adrian's eyes went wide.
37:35Who...
37:36Did this?
37:37Who hurts you?
37:38Lyra.
37:39She did this.
37:40She tortures me all the years.
37:42Why are you always so mean to me?
37:45I...
37:46I didn't do anything!
37:47A sad, quiet smile crossed my face.
37:50There's no anger left.
37:52Everything is gone.
37:54Adrian, you forgot your promises, our happy times.
37:57All gone.
37:58It's injured.
37:58Let me carry you.
38:00Let me go.
38:01I can walk myself.
38:03After said that, I turned to leave.
38:05But Adrian lifted me anyway.
38:08Firm, yet gentle.
38:10I struggled for a moment, then still.
38:14I rested against him.
38:15My expression unreadable.
38:18Lyra watched from the side.
38:20Jealousy twisted her face.
38:23Rage burns in her eyes.
38:26Bitch.
38:27I'm not done with you.
38:29I was lying on a bed.
38:31An IV dripped in my arm.
38:32I looked pale.
38:34Adrian sat beside me, holding my hand.
38:36I pulled away.
38:38He took it again.
38:39The fluid's cold.
38:40Let me warm your hand.
38:42I turned my head away.
38:43Stopped fighting it.
38:45A single tear fell.
38:48Adrian's phone rang.
38:49He stood.
38:50Gently touched my forehead.
38:51Be right back.
38:52His voice soft.
38:53He left.
38:54I closed my eyes, sighing.
38:57Lyra slipped into the room.
38:58A smirk on her face.
38:59My eyes snapped open.
39:01I jerked up in bed, alarmed.
39:03Lyra?
39:04What are you doing here?
39:05Lyra's smile widened.
39:07She moved closer.
39:08Her fingers hovered over the IV line.
39:11Her eyes glinted.
39:12Unhinged.
39:13Daring.
39:14My breath quickened.
39:15I gripped the sheet.
39:16Eyes wary.
39:17Lyra yanked the needle out of my arm.
39:20Fluids spattered the bed.
39:22In one swift move,
39:23Lyra plunged the needle into her own chest.
39:26Blood seeped through her shirt.
39:28Her face twisted in pain,
39:29but there's a sick satisfaction in her eyes.
39:32The door burst open.
39:33Adrian stormed in.
39:35Took in the scene.
39:36Rage in his eyes.
39:38Lyra!
39:38He rushed to her.
39:39Pulled her into his arms.
39:41Shielded her.
39:42Lyra's expression shifted instantly.
39:44Her eyes welled up.
39:45Selena.
39:47Please don't hurt me.
39:49I know I was wrong.
39:51I won't take anything from you ever again.
39:53I just...
39:54I just wanted a place to belong.
39:56I froze.
39:57Fear and disbelief surged through me.
39:59My hands curled into fists.
40:01Breathing hard.
40:02Adrian gritted his teeth.
40:04You!
40:05Are you out of your mind?!
40:06He stepped forward and slapped me.
40:08Hard.
40:09The crack echoed in the small room.
40:11My head snapped to the side.
40:13I touched my cheek.
40:14Stunned.
40:15Who's his real sister anyway?
40:18Told you.
40:19Selena's just a foster kid.
40:21A human.
40:22My cheek reddened.
40:24But I still stayed.
40:26Didn't fight back.
40:27Adrian hesitated.
40:28Then stepped closer.
40:30Selene.
40:31I...
40:32I'm sorry.
40:33No need.
40:35Don't tell my dad.
40:37Originally, he was only scared Lyra would get in trouble.
40:40Fine.
40:41I won't.
40:42But now, please leave.
40:43I need to rest.
40:44I lifted a hand, gestured them out.
40:47They exchanged a glance.
40:49Then exited.
40:50Five days.
40:51Then I'm gone.
40:52No more memories here.
40:54None.
40:56I open my locker.
40:58Inside hangs a silver blue gown.
41:00A note.
41:01For tonight.
41:03Okay.
41:04One last dance before goodbye.
41:06At night, Beta Cole watched me zip a small suitcase.
41:09Are you sure you don't want to tell Adrian there's that dance tomorrow?
41:13I'll be there.
41:14I'll tell him who I am.
41:16Before the last dance.
41:18Only one day left before leaving.
41:20Grand Hall.
41:21I entered in the silver blue gown.
41:23They exclaimed in amazement.
41:27Wait.
41:27Is that the Cole family crest?
41:29That dress is custom made.
41:30But I thought Lyra was supposed to be his date.
41:34What's Selena doing with it?
41:35Across the room, Lyra watched in red.
41:39Jealousy burned.
41:41Cute dress, Selena.
41:42Too bad it was never meant for you.
41:45If you want it, it's yours.
41:48Lyra's smile cracked.
41:49She grabbed scissors, slashed her own gown, and screamed.
41:52Selena?
41:53How could you?
41:54First you steal the dress Adrian gave me, and now you destroy mine too?
41:57When will it be enough?
42:00Adrian entered the Grand Hall and found me with a mask.
42:04He approached excitedly and extended his hand.
42:08May I have this dance?
42:09Lyra looked up with a trembling smile.
42:12Of course.
42:13Adrian led Le in a twirling dance across the dance floor.
42:16Out said, rain pounded me.
42:18I stumbled away from school.
42:20Shaked.
42:21My palm flickers light pulsed beneath the skin.
42:24Not now.
42:25Please.
42:26Beta said someone's waiting for me at the gate.
42:29I just have to make it.
42:30I gripped a lamp post.
42:32Electricity crackled along my arm.
42:35The light above my bursts.
42:37I cried out.
42:38Eyes glowed.
42:39At this time, a figure emerged from the rain.
42:41Adrian checked his watch.
42:4311.55 PM.
42:45He pulled out a small velvet box.
42:47Opened it.
42:47A diamond pendant glowed inside.
42:49Five more minutes.
42:51Until I can finally say it.
42:53He thought.
42:54Bells began to chime.
42:56Midnight.
42:57Adrian reached for Lyra's mask and lifted it.
43:00Light hit her face.
43:02Lyra?
43:04The knight leaned close to my neck.
43:06His eyes glowed red gradually.
43:09His brows furrowed as if he was enduring something.
43:11His lips brushed against my skin.
43:13His voice was low and roughed.
43:15You shouldn't be alone tonight.
43:17The hard burge beneath his crotch pressed tightly against my bare skin as knight let out a low,
43:23raggled breath.
43:24He took hold of my wrist, the one bearing the mark, and gently stroked it to my left breast.
43:30Our wrist marks ignited.
43:32In an instant, heat exploded up my arm.
43:34I let out a startled cry.
43:36My eyes flew wide open.
43:38A strange silver light flickered within them.
43:40I clenched my legs tightly, trembled uncontrollably.
43:43A vacious liquid dampened my panties, trickled slowly down my thighs.
43:47The silver and red light erupted from their marks twisted and coiled together.
43:50I can taste your smell.
43:52You're completely mine now.
43:54Knight hay-hilled sharply against my neck.
43:56When the light faded, I was shaking in his arms.
44:00What did you do to me?
44:02You're wet because you chose me.
44:05You claimed me, and I claimed you.
44:10Maybe I should just call you mate.
44:13Say my name, Knight.
44:17I was lost in passion.
44:19My breath stuttered.
44:21Knight guided my hand down to my inner thigh,
44:25brushed it through my slip arousal,
44:27then lifted it to his lips and gently licked my fingers.
44:33Adrian stared at Lyra, the mask in his hand.
44:36His face crumbled.
44:39Where's Selina?
44:40He asked.
44:41Lyra reached for him.
44:43Panic flashed across her face.
44:45He pulled back.
44:46He turned and burst through the doors into the rain.
44:49Adrian, don't leave me.
44:52Wasn't I the one you wanted?
44:53Her voice broke.
44:55Adrian jumped on his motorcycle.
44:57Headlights cut through rain.
44:59He saw us.
45:00A figure placed me into an SUV.
45:05Selina!
45:05Don't go!
45:06Selina!
45:07Knight glanced back,
45:09then looked away.
45:10The SUV pulled away.
45:12Adrian gunned the engine and skidded to a stop,
45:14but the taillights were already disappearing.
45:17He leaped off the bike and ran after them,
45:19but we were gone.
45:21He fell to his knees and slammed his fists into the wet pavement,
45:25again and again.
45:25Selina!
45:29I sat at the long table surrounded by warriors.
45:32Raw meat piled up before me.
45:34Warrior's eyes cut toward me.
45:36Cold and contemptuous.
45:38Human food?
45:39She can't even shift.
45:41Weakest Luna we've ever had.
45:43My hands curled in my lap.
45:45His voice cut through the hall like a blade.
45:47She is my mate.
45:49Your Luna.
45:50Show your respect.
45:51Knight gestured.
45:53Servants appeared with hand cakes, eggs, bacon.
45:56They set the plates before me.
45:58We followed you for strength.
45:59Not to serve a fragile child.
46:02One of the warriors said.
46:03Knight's eyes gleamed.
46:05Next quarter's trials.
46:06She enters the competition.
46:08Shock rippled through the hall.
46:10She'll die.
46:12No.
46:13She'll win.
46:14And when she does,
46:15you will kneel to your Luna.
46:17All of you.
46:18Knight looked at me.
46:20I lifted my head.
46:21Silver flickered in my eyes.
46:23See you in the arena.
46:26Shhh.
46:28Morning after morning.
46:29Knight put me through drills.
46:32Relentless.
46:32Unforgiving.
46:33I ran until my legs burned.
46:35I was spared until my body aches.
46:38I fell again and again.
46:40Each time, Knight watched.
46:42Cold and unmoving.
46:43One afternoon, I lunged at him.
46:46He sidestepped and pinned me to the mat in one fluid motion.
46:49I gasped, trapped beneath him.
46:52Again.
46:53He said.
46:53I pushed up.
46:55My knee scraped the mat.
46:56Blood welled from the wound.
46:58I was breathless.
47:00I can keep going.
47:02Concern flickered in his eyes.
47:04He stopped me.
47:05He released me and stood.
47:07A servant approached with a small plate.
47:09Cream cake.
47:11Knight took it and lowered himself to one knee in front of me between my thighs.
47:15Kids heal faster with sugar.
47:16I'm not a kid.
47:18My face flushed.
47:19He cut a piece and held the fork to my lips.
47:22I hesitated, then leaned forward and took the bite.
47:26As the fork slide out, a smear of cream lingered at the corner of my mouth.
47:29And my tongue flicked out to catch another dab on my lip.
47:32He watched my mouth, then reached up and dragged his thumb slowly across lower lip, gathered the cream.
47:38His thumb lingered at my lip, pressed just enough to part them.
47:41Don't waste.
47:42He said.
47:43I ticked my thumb slowly, shivered.
47:46Good girl.
47:47I lowered my gaze, cheeks flushed.
48:02Ready?
48:03I was born ready.
48:29Take me to night-night.
48:39Every night, for the rest of my life.
48:47Adrian burst through the door. Beta Cole looked up.
48:51Please, just tell me where Selene is.
48:54Let her go, Adrian. Serene has her own path to follow.
48:59I'm not giving up.
49:01Adrian turned and walked out of the room.
49:03The day was coming. Thousands of wolves packed the stands.
49:07Their voices rose in a deafening roar.
49:09Look at her, the human Luna.
49:11A wolf shouted.
49:13She won't last a minute.
49:15Another wolf said.
49:16Night stood rigid, arms crossed.
49:19His jaw tightened as he watched me step into the ring alone.
49:22I faced my opponent, a massive wolf twice my size.
49:26Muscles coiling under scarred fur.
49:28He circled me hungry.
49:30I raised my fists.
49:31He lunged.
49:33I dodged.
49:33But his claw caught my arm.
49:36Blood sprayed.
49:36I hit the ground hard.
49:39Pathetic.
49:40Send her home.
49:41A wolf laughed.
49:42I pushed up.
49:43The wolf struck again.
49:45I flew backward, skidded across the sand.
49:48Blood pooled beneath me.
49:50Knight took a step forward.
49:52The High Priest blocked him.
49:54You interfere.
49:55She loses everything.
49:57Knight's hands gripped the railing.
49:59His knuckles went white.
50:00In the ring.
50:01I struggled to my knees.
50:03Then my feet.
50:04One inch at a time.
50:05My legs shook.
50:07But I stood.
50:08The wolf charged for the final blow.
50:10Then a sound tore from my chest.
50:13Not human.
50:14Something ancient.
50:15A howl that shook the arena.
50:17White light exploded outward.
50:19Blinding.
50:20The wolf skidded to a halt.
50:21Wimpered.
50:22When the light faded.
50:23A massive white wolf stood in the ring.
50:26Fur was like snow.
50:27Eyes were like burning silver.
50:29The opponent snarled and lunged.
50:31The white wolf moved faster than anything alive.
50:34Jaws closed on the attacker's throat.
50:36A single shake.
50:38He flew across the arena and lay still.
50:41White wolf.
50:42That's royal blood.
50:43An elder wolf said with voice trembling.
50:46One by one, the wolves lowered themselves.
50:49Nailed and pressed their foreheads to the ground.
50:51Then all wolves charged.
50:53Luna!
50:54Luna!
50:54The light shimmered and faded.
50:56I stood again, human now wrapped in cloth.
51:00Trembled but alive.
51:01Night descended into the ring.
51:02He walked to me.
51:04Took my hand and lifted it high for everyone to see.
51:07A motorcycle ripped through the arena gates.
51:09Adrian jumped off and stubbled toward me.
51:12His face pale.
51:13Serene.
51:14You're a wolf.
51:21How?
51:23You were human.
51:25You've always been.
51:25He reached for me.
51:27Come home with me.
51:28I'll protect you.
51:29Night stepped between us.
51:31Protect her.
51:32You didn't even know what she was.
51:34Adrian frozen.
51:36He stared at me.
51:38Something about me was different.
51:40The way I held myself.
51:42The light in my eyes.
51:43Like a queen.
51:45What happened?
51:46She awakened.
51:47She's a white wolf.
51:49Your moon packs alpha.
51:51Night said coldly.
51:52The words hit like a blow.
51:54Adrian's face pales.
51:56Sylvine.
51:57I know I don't deserve you now.
51:59But I searched for you for three months.
52:01I never stopped.
52:02I met his eyes calmly.
52:05Lyra is your mate, Adrian.
52:06Not me.
52:07Adrian staggered like I struck him.
52:10Then let me prove it.
52:11A duel.
52:13Winner takes her home.
52:14Wolf warrior leaned forward.
52:16Night's eyes narrowed.
52:18Fine.
52:18No.
52:19I refuse.
52:21I'm the prize.
52:22Not a prize.
52:23Not for either of you.
52:25I looked at Adrian.
52:27But no less certain.
52:28I won't go back with you.
52:30Not because of Lyra.
52:31Because.
52:33I finally found my mate.
52:38The crowd fell silent.
52:40Night's jaw sightened.
52:42Then slowly relaxed.
52:43He walked toward me.
52:45One step.
52:46Then another.
52:47Adrian stood frozen.
52:48Are you sure?
52:49I looked up at him.
52:51Didn't flinch.
52:52I'm sure.
52:53You're my only love.
52:55He tilted my chin up.
52:57Without hesitation.
52:58Night kissed me.
52:59Acclaim.
53:00And Alpha marked his territory.
53:02I trembled, but didn't pull away.
53:04My fingers gripped his shirt.
53:06A low growl rippled through the wolves.
53:08Shocked and submission tangled together.
53:10Adrian stumbled back like he had been struck by lightning.
53:13Disbelief written all over his face.
53:16Knight broke the kiss.
53:17His voice was calm.
53:20She's my mate.
53:21You can't take her.
53:23I turned to Adrian.
53:24Adrian.
53:25I'm not your home.
53:26Adrian stood frozen.
53:28His face paled and trembled.
53:30Adrian Cole.
53:32You fool.
53:33You let her go once.
53:34And now you can't bear to watch her belong to another.
53:37You deserve this.
53:38Every damn piece of it.
53:40Laya stood before a fireplace.
53:42Hooded.
53:43Several black clad killers kneeled before me.
53:46Find her.
53:47You know what to do.
53:49The assassin leader nodded.
53:51Selene.
53:52The human girl.
53:53We'll deal with her on the road.
53:55Lyra lifted my head.
53:57A strange satisfaction gleamed in my eyes.
53:59She's not human.
54:01She's Alpha Heart's daughter.
54:02My father died by his hands.
54:04I've waited years for this.
54:07She paused.
54:08Smiles coldly.
54:09She will die.
54:11Before she truly awakens.
54:15Serene.
54:16May you always be happy.
54:17Just remember Moonpack is your support.
54:20Adrian walked toward his motorcycle.
54:22I'll send you to the edge of town.
54:24You're still my brother.
54:25Adrian froze for a moment.
54:27Watched me walk toward him.
54:29A bitter smile crossed his face.
54:31From now on.
54:33Let me protect you from the shadows.
54:35The motorcycle rode along the forest path.
54:37An arrow whistled past my arm.
54:39Black-clothed figures emerged from the trees.
54:42Adrian jumped off the motorcycle with me in his arms.
54:46A blade sliced toward me.
54:48He threw himself in front of it.
54:50The steel bit into his side.
54:51Run!
54:52He conropst.
54:54He conropst.
54:54Bones cracked.
54:55Fur ripped through skin.
54:57A massive wolf now stood between the assassins and me.
55:00He launched.
55:01Tore into them.
55:02And fought like something feral.
55:04Knight's hand gripped his chest.
55:06The mat marked Burns.
55:08Selene!
55:09He was already moving.
55:10Adrian fought on.
55:12Wounded.
55:12Three assassins circled him.
55:14A force aimed at me.
55:16A blur of motion.
55:17Knight's blade took the assassin down.
55:19His warriors descended.
55:21The fight ended in seconds.
55:23Knight pulled me against him.
55:24Are you hurt?
55:25I shook my head.
55:27Looked past him at Adrian.
55:28Bleeding.
55:29Human again.
55:30On his knees.
55:31Knight followed my gaze.
55:32Saw the markings on the dead assassins.
55:34Lyra's work.
55:36My face paled.
55:38Adrian struggled to stand.
55:39She wants you dead.
55:41I know.
55:43This day finally came.
55:46Lyra stared into the fire.
55:48Flamed flicker, then twist.
55:50Lyra's face went pale.
55:52Her hands clenched.
55:54The door bruised open.
55:55I stood in the doorway.
55:57A faint silver glow radiating from me.
55:59Adrian and Knight flanked me.
56:01Lyra stumbled back.
56:02Surprised to see me?
56:04I laughed coldly.
56:06Lyra's eyes darted.
56:07Calculating.
56:08Desperate.
56:09She opened her mouth to whimper.
56:11To play the victim.
56:12What are you going to do to me?
56:14Adrian.
56:15Help me.
56:16Don't play victim.
56:17You know everything.
56:18Your father tried to steal the alpha title.
56:21He died a traitor.
56:22And you?
56:23You've spent years making sure I paid for it.
56:26Adrian looked at Lyra coldly.
56:27You liar.
56:29The dress.
56:30The needle.
56:31It was all you.
56:32Lyra's mask cracked.
56:34Her eyes went cold.
56:36You think I'd let her take everything?
56:38My father died because of her father.
56:40Her body convulsed.
56:42Bones cracked.
56:43Fur ripped through skin.
56:45A dark wolf lunged at me, jaws wide.
56:47Knight stepped forward.
56:49My hand stopped him.
56:50Fine.
56:51My body convulsed.
56:53Silver light exploded.
56:54In seconds, a massive white wolf stood in my place.
56:57The two wolves collided.
56:59Teeth teared.
57:00Claws slacked.
57:01They moved in a blur of fur and blood.
57:04The white wolf gained the upper hand.
57:05Jaws closed around the other's throat.
57:07One snap.
57:09Silence.
57:10The dark wolf crumbled.
57:12Shimmered.
57:13Lyra lied still, human again.
57:15Then she becomes ashes.
57:17Light shimmered around me.
57:19I transformed into human again.
57:20I straightened and walked toward the door without looking back.
57:24It's over.
57:27Sunlight streams through towering windows.
57:29The hall was packed.
57:31Wolves stood shoulder by shoulder.
57:33I stood at the center.
57:34Dressed in silver and white.
57:38I looked regal.
57:40Beta Cole and Adrian watched from the front row, eyes glistening.
57:44Knight descended from the throne.
57:45In his hands a crown, delicate silver, caught light like frozen stars.
57:51I was born ready.
57:54I smiled.
57:55I was born ready.
57:57He placed the crown on my head, then took my hand and lifted it to his lips, kissy knuckles once.
58:02Slow.
58:03Deliberate.
58:04Reveriant.
58:04The hall erupted.
58:06Howls.
58:06Tweers.
58:07Stomping feet.
58:08Then all loudly.
58:12I looked at Knight.
58:13He was already looking at me.
58:15I smiled.
58:17Mountains rise in the distance.
58:18Moonlight pours down like liquid silver.
58:21Two wolves streak across the valley.
58:23One white is me.
58:25One black is Knight.
58:26I leap, tacking the dark one mid-stride.
58:28We tumble together down a grassy slope, a tangle of fur and limbs until we roll to a stop at
58:33the bottom.
58:34Then fur gives way to skin.
58:36Pamping gives way to breathing.
58:38Ragged.
58:38Human.
58:39Close.
58:40We lie tangled together at the base of the slope.
58:43No longer wolves.
58:44My hair spills across his arm.
58:46He lowers his head with a soft smile.
58:49Take me to Knight.
58:50Knight.
58:51His mouth finds mine.
58:53Slow at first.
58:54Then deeper.
58:55My fingers slide into his hair.
58:57His hand traces down my side.
58:59Over my hip.
59:00Pulling me closer.
59:01Every night.
59:03For the rest of my life.
59:04The moonlight spills over us.
59:06My head fall back.
59:08His lips find my throat.
59:09A soft sound escapes me.
59:11Our two figures move together in the silver light.
59:14Skin against skin.
59:15Nothing between us now.
59:17The mountains keep watching us.
59:18Let's see you again.
