Short filmTranscript
00:00Today is my ninth wedding anniversary with my husband, Darius.
00:04But he gathered the entire pack and, in front of everyone, announced he was dissolving our bond.
00:11Then named pregnant Serena Vale as the new Luna.
00:14He ordered me to move out of the castle within one hour.
00:18If this were the old me, I would have made a scene.
00:21But now, I'm tired.
00:23Understood, Alpha. I'll be gone within the hour.
00:26I agreed, but Darius clearly didn't believe I was actually willing to leave.
00:31He held out his hand.
00:32The Moonval bracelet. Leave it. It belongs to the Blackwood Luna.
00:37That was my mother's bracelet. My grandmother's six generations of my bloodline.
00:42Of course. Serena should have it.
00:45I grab Serena's wrist and snap the bracelet shut.
00:48White light explodes from the silver, and Serena's scream splits the air.
00:53The bracelet burns into her flesh, rejecting her, the ancestral magic violent and absolute.
01:00She collapses, convulsing, blood pooling beneath the metal.
01:04Darius rushed over and hugged Serena.
01:07Elena! What did you do?
01:10I gave her what you asked for, Alpha.
01:13The bracelet knows who its Luna is, and it isn't her.
01:17The moment he heard me, Darius tossed our nine years aside, and tried to force me to kneel and apologize
01:23to that bitch.
01:24Kneel and apologize! Now!
01:27The pack crowds, recording their Luna's disgrace.
01:31My knees buckle, but don't bend.
01:33My wolf howls in pain, but holds.
01:36An Alpha who betrayed his mate.
01:38What right does he have to make me kneel?
01:41No, I will not kneel.
01:45What did you say?
01:47I said no, Alpha Blackwood.
01:50I won't kneel for you.
01:51Not anymore, not ever again.
01:56Get out!
01:59The moment he told me to leave, my heart finally died.
02:02I turn toward the door where my single suitcase waits.
02:06Congratulations on your heir.
02:08I hope he knows his father better than I did.
02:11The blood moon rises as I walk through the gates.
02:14Behind me, the fortress erupts in chaos.
02:18Darius stared after me, convinced of one thing.
02:21Elena loves me.
02:23She will come back in three days.
02:29I make it halfway to the north gate before they catch me.
02:33Five pack guards materialize from the shadows, their wolves flickering just beneath their skin.
02:39Marcus Hale, Darius' second, steps forward.
02:43Luna, Elena.
02:45Alpha requests your presence in the medical wing.
02:48I am no longer Luna, Marcus.
02:51You have no authority over me.
02:54Marcus's hand clamps on my shoulder.
02:57Alpha's orders supersede your departure.
03:00They drag me back through the service entrance.
03:02Couldn't risk the pack seeing their disgraced Luna hauled through the main halls twice in one night.
03:07The medical wing reeks of antiseptic and silver.
03:11Pack physician Dr. Reeves hovers nearby.
03:14His face grim.
03:15Strip her and prep her.
03:17I need two pints, maybe three.
03:19Wait, Alpha, I must protest.
03:22Dr. Reeves tried to intervene, but Darius refused.
03:25Darius finally turns to me, his eyes empty.
03:28She is RH negative wolf blood.
03:31The only compatible match in the pack.
03:34Serena needs a transfusion.
03:36The bracelet's magic poisoned her system.
03:38I refuse, Darius.
03:40From the miscarriage he never asked about, left me with cardiac weakness.
03:44But Darius disregarded my will entirely.
03:47He ordered the pack guards to force me onto the table, strapping down my arms.
03:52The needle pierces my vein, and the world tilts my blood flows through the tube and into Serena's body.
03:58Darius, you are killing me for her.
04:00You tried to kill her first.
04:02This is justice.
04:03Justice?
04:04Is that what we're calling it?
04:09Luna!
04:10Luna!
04:10Luna!
04:11Eva!
04:12Her heart!
04:13Keep going.
04:14Those are the last words I hear before.
04:16Darkness swallows me whole.
04:18I wake to white ceiling tiles, and the steady beep of monitors.
04:22My arm throbs where the IV sits, pumping fluids back into my depleted veins.
04:27Dr. Reeves says, you'll recover in a few days.
04:30I need my phone.
04:33Why do you need the phone?
04:35Who are you calling?
04:38None of your business.
04:39You took my title, my home, my blood.
04:42Give me my phone.
04:43A muscle ticks in his jaw.
04:44Then he pulls it from his pocket and tosses it onto the bed.
04:48Five minutes.
04:48I am timing you.
04:50My fingers shake as I unlock it and find the contact.
04:53I told him the itinerary had changed, and to wait for my signal before coming to pick me up.
04:58Three days.
05:00Then, I am coming regardless.
05:02I delete the conversation and set the phone down.
05:06Who was that?
05:07Someone who actually wants me alive.
05:10I turn away from him.
05:11Just then, my phone buzzes once more under the pillow.
05:16I am discharged after two days with strict orders to rest.
05:21As if I have anywhere to rest.
05:23Dr. Reeves hands me iron supplements and avoids my eyes.
05:27Light activity only, Luna.
05:29I mean, Miss Voss.
05:31Your heart is still recovering.
05:33I pocket the pills and head for the exit.
05:36That is when I see them.
05:38Darius and Serena walking through the medical wing's main corridor like they own it.
05:43He is holding her hand.
05:45The other resting protectively on her lower back.
05:48Alpha Darius, here for the ultrasound.
05:51Sure.
05:52Come to see our boy.
05:54I walked past them expressionlessly while their clansmen whispered beside them.
05:59Such a devoted alpha.
06:02Not necessarily what you went through with that bracelet incident.
06:06At least he knows how to treat a real mate.
06:09I slip past them toward the door, but Serena's voice stops me.
06:13Elena, wait.
06:14I reminded myself don't turn around, don't, but in the end, I turned around.
06:18Serena waddles over, all concerned smiles and fake warmth.
06:23Darius trailing behind.
06:25I am so glad you are okay.
06:27The alpha told me you gave blood to help me.
06:31It was taken, not given.
06:33Actually, I was hoping you'd let us drive you home.
06:37It is the least we can do.
06:39Home?
06:39What home?
06:40I am fine walking.
06:42The car's already here.
06:43They gave me no chance to refuse and forced me into the car.
06:47Serena chatters the entire drive about nursery colors and baby names.
06:52Darius grunts occasionally, his eyes flicking to me in the rearview mirror.
06:56I stare out the window and count down the seconds.
06:59Then I feel it's something lacy and deliberate tucked into the seat pocket in front of me.
07:04I pull it out.
07:06Red lace panties expensive, still carrying Serena's scent.
07:10Oh, is that oh my god.
07:12How embarrassing.
07:12She exchanges a meaningful look with Darius.
07:16Darius's knuckles are white on the steering wheel.
07:19He says nothing.
07:20So they fucked in this car while I was bleeding out in the medical wing.
07:24I drop the panties back into the seat pocket and return to watching the scenery.
07:29The car pulls up to a shabby apartment complex in the lower district.
07:33I reach for the door handle.
07:35Darius finally speaks.
07:37Elena, this is temporary.
07:39Once you...
07:39Once I what?
07:41Apologize.
07:42Beg to come back.
07:44Kneel for you.
07:45Once you come, to your senses.
07:48My senses are perfectly intact, Alpha.
07:51Enjoy your ultrasound.
07:53Enjoy your sun.
07:55Enjoy your life.
08:04The apartment is a joke.
08:08This is what nine years as Luna gets you.
08:11I drop my bag and reach for my phone to confirm details with Elbut.
08:15Phone is gone.
08:15I tear through my bag.
08:18I tear through my bag.
08:18Not there.
08:19Then I remember Darius was standing too close when I got out of the car.
08:24His hand was resting on my bag.
08:26That bastard.
08:28That bastard.
08:30A knock at the door makes me freeze.
08:33I open the door to find Serena holding a basket of what looks like charity donations.
08:38Hi.
08:39I thought you might need some essentials.
08:41She pushes past me into the apartment.
08:43Oh, it is cozy.
08:45Thanks for the concern.
08:47You can go now.
08:49Serena didn't leave.
08:50She pushes past me into the apartment.
08:52Sits on my bed.
08:54Actually, I wanted to talk.
08:56For what?
08:58I know this is hard for you, losing everything.
09:00But you have to understand.
09:02Darius and I, we're fated mates.
09:04The moon goddess herself.
09:06The moon goddess has nothing to do with ambition and opportunity.
09:10Don't dress up homewrecking in divine language.
09:13Did you know that night you lost your baby?
09:15He was with me at Moonlight Lake, watching the stars.
09:19He told me he felt more peace in that hour than in three years of marriage to you.
09:23That night, while I bled out in the snow after that ambush, while our child died, inside me, Serena stands.
09:34Moving to the window, she continues.
09:36And when your grandmother died last winter, he sent Marcus to the funeral.
09:41Said he had pack business.
09:43The business was me, Elena, in his bed.
09:46In your bed, actually.
09:48We christened those silk sheets you loved so much.
09:52Are you done?
09:54It is not over yet.
09:55I just wanted you to know exactly what you lost.
09:58Did she really think those words could still hurt me?
10:02I'd stopped caring long ago.
10:04She bumps the counter, and the oil lamp tips over.
10:07Flames erupt across the wooden surface, racing toward the curtains.
10:12The fire spreads fast, too fast.
10:14I realize she used silver oil.
10:18The smoke is toxic, laced with silver particles that burn my lungs with every breath.
10:24No, I can't die here.
10:26The door crashes open.
10:28Serena!
10:30He scoops her up and runs.
10:32Of course, of course he chooses her.
10:35The smoke drags me under, and I welcome it.
10:38Better to burn than beg.
10:45But then there is another sound breaking glass.
10:49It sounds like someone climbed in through the window.
10:52Got you.
10:53I got you, Luna.
10:54Not Luna anymore, Marcus.
10:57But thank you anyway.
10:58I hear sirens shouting, Darius yelling Serena's name.
11:03Nobody rushes for me.
11:05Story of my life.
11:06I rip off the oxygen mask, and stumble toward the tree line.
11:11My legs keep moving.
11:12Not this time, never again.
11:16Elena!
11:17The forest swallows me whole, and I don't stop running until I reach the northern border.
11:21A black helicopter sits in the clearing.
11:24Rotor's already spinning.
11:25A man in dark clothes waves me forward.
11:28He pulled me into the cabin, and we lift off just as Darius crashes through the trees below.
11:33He is screaming something, reaching up like he can pull the helicopter down through sheer will.
11:38I watch him get smaller and smaller.
11:41Goodbye, Darius.
11:43The follow-up appointment starts at 9 sharp.
11:46Darius holds Serena's hand through the ultrasound, watches the monitor as their son kicks and turns.
11:52Perfect development.
11:54Like his father.
11:55Meanwhile, Darius fell into deep thought beside him.
11:59I've sent 17 messages for Elena since last night.
12:02Not one has been delivered.
12:03They've all failed.
12:04Alpha, did you hear me?
12:06Right.
12:07By the way...
12:09Elena?
12:10Still nothing.
12:11Where is she?
12:13Alpha.
12:13A boss resident says Elena hasn't been there since the wedding.
12:18They assumed she was still at the fortress.
12:21Check her apartment.
12:23Already did.
12:24Burn to the foundation.
12:26No one's seen her since the fire.
12:28Find her.
12:29I don't care if you have to search every inch of this territory.
12:33There is something else.
12:35The pack is talking about the new moon hall.
12:38They're saying you are building it for Serena.
12:41Let them talk.
12:42Also, Elder Thorn is taking bets.
12:46Says Elena will come crawling back before the week is out.
12:50Tell the treasury to prepare a jewelry gift.
12:52Send it to the Vos estate.
12:54Alpha, they just said she is not.
12:57She'll go there eventually.
12:58When she cools off...
13:04That night, Darius stands in his office and does something he hasn't done in five years.
13:10He lights a cigarette.
13:13The smoke hurls toward the ceiling and he stares at Elena's empty desk.
13:18Just then, his phone buzzes Marcus with an update.
13:21No sign of her anywhere in territory.
13:24Expand the search to neighboring packs.
13:29Pack leadership, Elder Lunalena is not to attend.
13:33She will be stripped of pack citizenship and exiled permanently.
13:37If I can't have her here, no one can.
13:42Darius, are you coming to bed?
13:46In a minute.
13:50You've been saying that for two hours.
13:54You are thinking about her.
13:57I am thinking about pack business.
13:59She is gone, Darius.
14:01She made her choice.
14:03You made yours.
14:04It is time to move on.
14:05When I close my eyes, I see Elena walking through flames.
14:10Who was in that helicopter?
14:12Where are they taking her?
14:16Stop looking for her.
14:18She doesn't want to be found.
14:22Forget about her.
14:27Darius lets her lead him away, but he doesn't forget.
14:32And somewhere, 300 miles north, I am learning to breathe again.
14:37Learning what it feels like to be chosen.
14:40Some doors, once closed, stay closed forever.
14:47Dr. Reeves was flipping through medical records when Darius stepped into the room.
14:52He had come to sign the clearance papers for Serena's next appointment.
14:55Nothing more routine.
14:57Predictable safe.
14:58But when the doctor looked up, his eyes hesitated.
15:02That moment of silence was too long to ignore.
15:05Is something wrong?
15:07It's nothing, Alpha.
15:09Just a discrepancy in the records from eight months ago.
15:13What discrepancy?
15:15A pregnancy test.
15:17Positive from your mate, Luna Elena Vos.
15:20That's impossible.
15:21She never told me.
15:23She came to the infirmary herself.
15:26The same week you were away.
15:28With Miss Vale.
15:29The following week, she was brought back bleeding.
15:32Bleeding?
15:33I treated her for a miscarriage.
15:35She didn't want anyone to know.
15:37She begged us to keep it off record.
15:39Said the Alpha had enough to worry about.
15:42Darius' knees nearly buckled.
15:44The clipboard slipped from his hand.
15:46Papers scattered across the sterile floor like shattered glass.
15:49A child, their child.
15:53And he had never known.
15:54What caused it?
15:58Tell me!
15:59Miss Vale administered the wrong herbal sedatives.
16:02The dosage was too strong for a pregnant wolf.
16:05We tried to warn her, but she insisted Luna needed to calm down after that argument you two had.
16:12Serena!
16:13Serena!
16:13The air vanished from the room.
16:15Darius' pulse roared in his ears.
16:18The memories came all at once the night he told me.
16:21He was staying at the border patrol when, in fact, he had been with Serena.
16:26The argument that followed.
16:27The hidden tears beneath my unbreakable pride.
16:30He hadn't even noticed.
16:32Darius staggered backward, gripping the counter to steady himself.
16:36His mind threw up images he had buried too deep.
16:40I in our garden, hair tangled by wind.
16:43Laughing because he could never braid flowers the way I could.
16:46Me on the balcony at midnight.
16:48Nursing a cup of tea long gone cold, me whispering.
16:52You always think you can hurt me and I'll stay.
16:56Gods!
16:57She had stayed.
16:58Until she couldn't.
17:00When had I stopped loving her?
17:02Or had I ever stopped?
17:04But maybe I had only stopped choosing her.
17:07Alpha, should I prepare a report?
17:10No, burn it all of it.
17:13No one else will carry her pain.
17:15Not anymore.
17:17Back in his office, he found the old photograph of us.
17:20In the photograph, I stood there in my Luna cloak, smiling at him as if he could never fail me.
17:26He pressed the picture to his chest, choking on the realization that he already had.
17:31Alpha, the Northern Patrol spotted a private aircraft heading toward the Drake Territory.
17:37It might be her.
17:38Prepare the car.
17:40I'm going after her.
17:46Where are you?
17:47If you go after her, don't bother coming back.
17:50Pack your things.
17:51You are leaving Blood Moon Territory.
17:53You and the child are no longer under my protection.
17:57You can't do this.
17:58The baby is yours.
18:01Linview appears at noon, a sprawling vineyard town with rolling hills.
18:06Darius follows Marcus' intel to the Clearwater Vineyard Estate.
18:14I'm wearing a simple white sundress, laughing at something the man beside her said.
18:19The man has his arm around my waist.
18:21Darius ran over quickly.
18:23Elena.
18:25Darius, you are trespassing.
18:27I came to bring you home.
18:29I know about the baby.
18:30I know everything.
18:32Home.
18:33I don't have a home in Blood Moon Territory.
18:36I was wrong.
18:37Come back with me.
18:38Will what?
18:42Pretend you didn't choose Serena 17 times.
18:45I ended it with Serena.
18:47She is gone.
18:49There is no us.
18:51Darius Blackwood meet Lucian Drake, my fiancs.
18:54Pleasure.
18:55I've heard so much about you.
18:57You can't be serious.
18:59You've known him for less than a week.
19:01Six days.
19:02But when you know, you know.
19:04Right.
19:05Elena, please.
19:07Just talk to me, alone.
19:09The lady doesn't want to talk to you.
19:11And you are on my territory now.
19:14Your territory is a joke.
19:15You are not even a real alpha.
19:17Your father bought that title.
19:22You need to leave.
19:24Now.
19:25Not without you.
19:26I am not going anywhere with you.
19:28That is your copy.
19:30Our bond is dissolved.
19:31I already burned my copy.
19:32It doesn't exist.
19:34That is not how legal documents work.
19:36There are seven copies filed across four territories.
19:39And I've formally renounced my Luna status.
19:42I am no longer bound to Blood Moon.
19:44I released Serena.
19:45I got a tattoo look.
19:48It is us.
19:48Our family.
19:50You tattooed our dead child on your chest.
19:53The baby you killed with your neglect.
19:55I didn't know.
20:01No.
20:02Not without my mate.
20:05Your mate.
20:06You mean your ex-wife.
20:08The woman you abused, neglected, and tried to kill.
20:12I never tried to.
20:13You forced a blood transfusion from a woman with cardiac damage.
20:18That is attempted murder.
20:20Where I come from.
20:21Blackwood.
20:22I didn't know about your heart.
20:23I didn't know about the baby.
20:25If I had known.
20:26You would have what?
20:28Cared.
20:29You had nine years to care, Darius.
20:31Nine years to ask how I was.
20:33To notice I was dying right in front of you.
20:35I was busy with pack duties.
20:38You were busy with Serena.
20:39In our bed.
20:40In our office.
20:41At Moonlight Lake while I bled out our child.
20:44Come back with me.
20:45Let me make it right.
20:47I'll spend the rest of my life.
20:51I don't want your life.
20:53I want you to look at this.
20:55Darius takes it with trembling hands.
20:58It is the divorce decree.
20:59Signed and sealed.
21:01With one edition at the bottom.
21:03Final decree.
21:04All bonds, ties, and obligations between the partners.
21:07Parties are hereby permanently severed.
21:09No reconciliation permitted under Northern Territory Law.
21:14No.
21:14I'll challenge the decree.
21:16I'll take it to the High Council.
21:18Try it.
21:20I have four council members on speed dial.
21:23Good luck.
21:24This is illegal.
21:25You can't just steal another Alpha's Luna.
21:28She was never your Luna.
21:30She was your prisoner.
21:32There is a difference.
21:34Elena.
21:35Tell him.
21:35Tell him what we had.
21:37The early years.
21:39The way we...
21:40The way you loved me.
21:41For two years, maybe.
21:43Before the pack politics.
21:45Before his father died and he decided being Alpha meant being cruel.
21:50He let Serena humiliate me in front of the pack.
21:53He let the elders call me Baron.
21:55He stood there and watched.
21:57He was a coward.
21:59He chose the easy path every single time.
22:02Lucien, please remove him from the property.
22:06With pleasure.
22:07Escort Alpha Blackwood to the border.
22:10If he returns, arrest him.
22:13Elena.
22:13Elena, please.
22:15You can't do this.
22:16You are mine.
22:18I was never yours, Darius.
22:21I was my own.
22:22You just never bothered to notice.
22:24Elena.
22:26Darius didn't return to the fortress.
22:28Even though Serena is causing chaos.
22:31He found a hotel in the Northern Territory.
22:34He decided to stay, waiting for me until I changed my mind.
22:39The pack needed its Alpha.
22:40Even though the elders ordered him back, he didn't listen.
22:44The pack can wait.
22:46Elena can't.
22:48I'll become the moon she needs.
22:50Even if it kills me.
22:57Name and business.
22:59Darius Blackwood.
23:00I am here to see Elena.
23:02Miss Voss isn't receiving visitors.
23:04Move along.
23:07Three hours later, Elena emerges with Lucian.
23:12They drive into town.
23:14Darius follows at a distance.
23:16They visited a bookstore, then a bakery, and finally stepped into a children's boutique.
23:21She is shopping for baby clothes?
23:24Lucian pulls her close and kisses her.
23:26Deep, possessive, public everything.
23:28I never was.
23:31Elena.
23:33You are following me now.
23:35I need to talk to you.
23:37No.
23:37You need to leave me alone.
23:40This is harassment, Darius.
23:42Five minutes.
23:44Please.
23:45It is fine.
23:48I'll handle it.
23:49Wait in the car.
23:51You look happy.
23:53I am happy.
23:54Because of him.
23:56Because I am free.
23:57Free from being the perfect Luna.
23:58Free from watching my husband fuck his secretary.
24:01I ended it with Serena.
24:03Exiled her.
24:04So what?
24:05Everything I did was for your sake.
24:08Why can't you just let me go?
24:11Because I love you.
24:13I knew Darius would deny it.
24:15So I presented the hospital bill.
24:17Miscarriage management.
24:18$4,200 emergency surgery.
24:21$8,900 total.
24:23$19,400.
24:25I paid for our child's death alone.
24:28With money borrowed from my uncle.
24:29Because you never asked.
24:31I didn't know.
24:35Stop saying that.
24:37You didn't know because you didn't ask.
24:39I am with Lucian now.
24:40We're engaged.
24:41It is real, Darius.
24:43A real chance at happiness.
24:44He is using you.
24:46He chose me.
24:47When I had nothing.
24:48When I was dying, he chose me.
24:50That is more than you ever did.
24:54Ready, love?
24:55Ready.
24:59Council vote tomorrow.
25:00You have lost your pack.
25:02I hope she was worth it.
25:04She is worth everything.
25:05I'll stay here until I fix it.
25:07Or until I die.
25:08Trying.
25:16Name and business.
25:18Darius Blackwood.
25:19I am here to see Elena.
25:21Miss Voss isn't receiving visitors.
25:23Move along.
25:26Three hours later.
25:28Elena emerges with Lucian.

25:56No.
25:56You need to leave me alone.
25:58This is harassment, Darius.

26:02Please.
26:04It is fine.

27:24I'll stay here until I fix it.
27:25Or until I die.
27:27Trying.
27:31Every day in the tower,
27:33Darius watches Elena through the telescope Clearwater Vineyard.
27:37Every day, Darius' phone buzzes.
27:40A call from Sarah Chen,
27:41an attorney at the Northern Territory Family Court.
27:44Mr. Blackwood,
27:45Elena Voss has filed a restraining order petition.
27:49There will be a hearing next week.
27:51A call from Marcus.
27:53He has an emergency on his end.
27:56Rogues attacked the eastern border last night.
27:59Three dead.
28:00The elders are calling for your head.
28:02But I can't leave her.
28:04The phone rang again.
28:05It was Lucian calling.
28:07He wants to make a deal with Darius
28:09and have him come to the estate tonight.
28:11If Darius refuses,
28:13then the restraining order stands.
28:15And he'll make sure every pack knows Darius Blackwood
28:19is a stalker who abandoned his pack.
28:21The meeting spot agreed upon with Lucian
28:23is at the east end,
28:25a converted barn.
28:25At that moment,
28:27Lucian lies on the examination table,
28:30shirtless,
28:30while a doctor checks his vitals.
28:32I stand nearby,
28:34reading from my tablet.
28:36Darius,
28:37what are you doing here?
28:38I asked him here
28:39so you two could talk face to face
28:41and find closure.
28:43Fine.
28:44Say everything you need to say.
28:46Then leave.
28:47I was a terrible husband.
28:49I chose wrong.
28:50Repeatedly.
28:51I let you suffer
28:52while I betrayed everything we were.
28:55I can't undo the past.
28:57I can't bring back our child.
28:59But if you give me another chance...
29:01No.
29:02Elena,
29:03please.
29:04I said no, Darius.
29:05I don't love you anymore.
29:07I don't want you anymore.
29:09I want him.
29:10So you are done.
29:11I...
29:12Done.
29:13Elena Voss,
29:14Lucian says clearly,
29:16will you do me the honor
29:18of becoming my mate?
29:20My Luna.
29:21My wife.
29:23Yes.
29:24I'll marry you.
29:29Elena.
29:30I hope you happy.
29:32For the first time in years,
29:34I am happy.
29:35Good.
29:36Then I'll stop.
29:37The flowers,
29:38the watching,
29:39all of it.
29:43Darius,
29:44please.
29:45The pack needs you.
29:47We're dying here.
29:48I lost everything.
29:51What are you doing?
29:52Stop!
29:53Darius,
29:54stop!
29:56In the end,
29:57the crisis team arrives
29:59and leads Darius
30:00away from the cliff.
30:02Sir,
30:03we received a report
30:04of you possible suicide attempt.
30:06I am fine.
30:08Just driving.
30:11Leave me alone.
30:13Elena,
30:14I know it is you.
30:16You called the police
30:18to save me.
30:20The next morning,
30:22Darius arrived at Clearwater Vineyard.
30:24He wants to see me.
30:26She doesn't want to see you,
30:28ever.
30:29Five minutes,
30:30please.
30:31I let him in
30:33so he could say
30:33what he needed to say.
30:35I am sorry
30:36for last night,
30:37for scaring you.
30:39I don't want your apologies.
30:40I want you to go home.
30:42Lead your pack.
30:43Stop destroying yourself.
30:45Is it really dead?
30:46Elena?
30:47Because you called the police.
30:49You saved me.
30:52I would have done the same
30:54for anyone.
30:55Liar.
30:56You still care.
30:57Even a little.
30:58I refused him again
31:00because I wanted a fresh start.
31:02Just the his phone buzzes
31:03Marcus urgent.
31:05Alpha,
31:06Serena is at the fortress
31:07with a lawyer,
31:08demanding pack rights
31:10for the child.
31:11I'll go back.
31:16One more piece
31:17of the past
31:18to handle.
31:19I have to go.
31:23For what it is worth,
31:25Lucien is a good man.
31:26Better than me.
31:27He'll make you happy.
31:34In Darius's fortress,
31:36the elders are assembled,
31:37arguing loudly.
31:39Serena stands in the great hall,
31:40visibly pregnant.
31:45Alpha Darius,
31:46tell them the baby
31:47deserves pack protection.
31:49Darius ignored her
31:50and instead asked Marcus
31:52to present the evidence.
31:53Those were travel records
31:55from 36 to 40 weeks ago.
31:57Alpha,
31:58you were at the northern summit.
32:00For five weeks straight,
32:02you never left.
32:03Biology doesn't lie.
32:05Serena,
32:05that child
32:06isn't mine.
32:07That is not possible.
32:09But when you got back...
32:11Serena kept shouting
32:12until Darius told her
32:13to take a paternity test,
32:14which finally silenced her.
32:16My client refuses.
32:19Then you admit,
32:20the child isn't mine.
32:22It is.
32:22It might not be yours,
32:24but it could be.
32:26Get out!
32:27You have one hour
32:28to leave pack territory.
32:30After that,
32:31you'll be arrested for fraud.
32:32After Serena was expelled,
32:34Darius enacted
32:35the Rowan Luna Protection Act.
32:37No Luna can be dismissed
32:39without council approval.
32:41No Luna's blood
32:42taken without consent.
32:44No Luna denied PAC funds
32:46or medical care.
32:48Violation results
32:49in immediate Alpha removal.
32:52Two weeks later,
32:53Lucian and I got married.
32:55I had completely
32:56walked out of Darius' world.
33:01Finally, I am free.
33:03Let that be Enoch.
33:05Hmm.
