Transcript
00:00Before the Witch Clan's curse spread to the town, my mother was sold to the Black Market by my father.
00:05A human woman exchanged for ten loaves of bread.
00:08Before they dragged her away, she gripped my arm hard enough to do the mark.
00:12Lyra, go to the North Storm home.
00:15Find Alpha Simus. He's the leader of Iron Moonpack.
00:18He's your real father. He'll take you in!
00:24He will take you in.
00:26And because of those words, I embarked on a very long journey.
00:30I don't know how long I walked. I was covered in wounds.
00:36But when I found Alpha Silas, he was mounted on the most magnificent direwolf I'd ever seen, a small girl
00:42cradled in his arms.
00:43At the packed boundary, he looked down at me from above.
00:46A hybrid born of a human woman who betrayed me. And you dare claim to be my child?
00:51He savored the fear on my face and said contemptuously.
00:54Go tell your mother this.
00:56Even if you're truly my flesh and blood, born from her, you still don't belong in my clan.
01:02I am very hungry and desperately want to get food.
01:05Can I be a beggar then? Could you spare me one silver coin to buy a piece of dry bread
01:11right now?
01:12He felt as if he had heard a joke.
01:16If you want to beg, send her to do it herself.
01:19He rode his direwolf through the shimmering barrier of the wolf pack's territory and vanished.
01:25I was left alone in the snow.
01:27That girl, her skin was soft and delicate, as if she had been immersed in milk her whole life.
01:33Although fate is unfair, I will never give up.
01:37The beta gate sentry had dead eyes and a meaner snarl.
01:41What are you staring at?
01:43He slowly approached me, his words full of sarcasm.
01:46The alpha said you're not fit to enter.
01:49Get lost before you contaminate the grounds!
01:53I ran to the alley next to the border wall.
01:56Crouched in the shadows.
01:58Pressed one hand against my empty stomach.
02:01And stared at the gate.
02:03Mother lied.
02:04Alpha Silas would never claim me.
02:06He had that direwolf and those polished silver bracers.
02:09And not one coin to spare for a starving child at his door.
02:13He said, if you want anything, have your mother come herself.
02:16But mother was dead.
02:17Sold into the flesh market.
02:19Dusk bled across the sky.
02:21The wind coming off the iron moon, cut like a silver blade.
02:24I crouched in the alley, watching pathwolves in fine pelts pass through the gates.
02:29Alphas and betas and their kept omegas.
02:32All of them fed.
02:33None of them looking at me.
02:34I thought of my mother.
02:36Mama, I'm so hungry.
02:40And I thought about my brother.
02:43Gallows had meant to kill me that night.
02:46He risked his life to save me.
02:48Sister, run!
02:51Later, when Gallows wasn't watching, I chewed through the rope.
02:57Snow started to fall.
02:59Soft and relentless.
03:02The cold worked into my bones.
03:04Where else can I go?
03:07Three years from the eastern settlements to Iron Mountain.
03:10The war between the witchcraft and the werewolves that soaked the entire continent in blood and hell.
03:17And humans were the lowest form of existence in this world.
03:21Along the way, to stay alive, I had long since abandoned every shred of dignity.
03:25Roots.
03:26Field rats.
03:27Scraps from garbage heaps.
03:29I kept myself smeared with mud and rot, so nobody could tell what I was at a glance.
03:33I wanted my blood father to see something worth acknowledging.
03:36I wanted him to claim me so I could use pack resources to avenge my mother and brother.
03:41But now, I can't do anything.
03:43He hasn't accepted me.
03:45Huh.
03:46Mama.
03:47I'm so useless.
03:48I curled tighter against the wall.
03:50Snowmelt soaked through my collar.
03:52I can only find food in the trash cans of A-Day.
03:56I let my eyes close.
03:58Just a moment's sleep.
03:59But bigger trouble is on its way.
04:04Hey, there's a girl here.
04:08Perfect timing.
04:09The breeder house on the west side needs fresh Omega stock.
04:12Young ones.
04:13This one will do.
04:16They grabbed my wrists and ankles.
04:19My body was burning with fever, frozen and hollow all at once.
04:25I watched the pulse jump in the bigger one's throat.
04:28Tightened my grip on the shard of bone blade.
04:31I'd been hiding in my sleep.
04:32Just as I was about to use it, the sound of wolf grooves shook the street.
04:37It turned out that my father had arrived.
04:42The two scoundrels were terrified.
04:44I am moved.
04:45I was overjoyed.
04:47Had he come to save me?
04:49Both rogues flinched to their knees by instinct.
04:52What do you think you're doing?
04:54That is what alpha dominance does to lower ranks.
04:57My lord, we were, uh, we were taking the girl to, to find her some medicine.
05:05Medicine.
05:05He made a sound that promised an ending.
05:08Then his eyes landed on my face.
05:10The boundary torches caught my features, carved from the same cold template as his own.
05:15Father.
05:17His jaw tightened.
05:19Then he laughed.
05:21So it's you.
05:23You are just like your mother, weak and powerless.
05:27His tone carried a suppressed fury.
05:30When he finished speaking, he turned and rode back through the gate.
05:35The heavy boundary seal boomed shut behind him.
05:39He abandoned me again.
05:41The two scoundrels seemed frightened.
05:44She just called the alpha.
05:45Father?
05:46Above the gate was the Iron Moon tribe's crest.
05:49A deep red like aged blood.
05:51Something hollowed out in my chest.
05:53Wide and permanent.
05:55Take me with you.
05:56My heart is dead.
05:58Tonight snow is heavy.
06:00She'll die out here.
06:02The breeder house at least has food and a roof.
06:05Maybe we should find a healer first, then...
06:09But she called the alpha father!
06:11The boundary gate was kicked open from the inside.
06:17Alpha Silas walked out, his face carved from ice.
06:21How are you this worthless?
06:25I closed my eyes.
06:27I didn't want to see his face.
06:29But he crouched down and gathered me up.
06:31In that single instant, I drove the bone blade I'd been saving into his stomach.
06:36I looked straight into his disbelieving eyes.
06:40You don't have to claim me.
06:43Fine.
06:44But if you won't let me live, then we die together.
06:50He went to his knees.
06:52One arm locked around my back.
06:53The other hand clamped over mine on the blade.
06:56Hot blood welled through my fingers.
06:59Dripped onto the snow.
07:01Pax sentries rushed out with silver-tipped pole arms, then froze at one glance from him.
07:06He looked at me, just looked, for a long, quiet moment.
07:09Something shifted in his eyes.
07:11Those eyes.
07:12A flicker of dark, twisted recognition.
07:14Wolf cub eyes.
07:15He agreed with me.
07:16You have some of my blood in you, after all.
07:19The ferocity, at least.
07:22A pity I said nothing about not letting you live.
07:24I glanced toward where the rogues had been, and this so-called alpha, was genuinely formidable.
07:31What a shame.
07:32I understand that to gain his approval, I must be even more ruthless.
07:36I looked back at him, ground my teeth.
07:38I've decided to give it, my all one, last time.
07:41I plunged the dagger, into his body again.
07:44He gripped my hand tightly, his grip as strong as iron.
07:47I couldn't break free from his wrist, at all.
07:51Every time I strained, my skull split with pain.
07:54A moment later, everything went white.
07:57I woke to cold water on my face.
07:59Richly furnished chamber, an older female Pax servant stood over me, smirking.
08:03Little hybrid bastard.
08:05Thinking you deserve to be served?
08:07Why didn't you just die?
08:09She grabbed my collar, and forced a bowl of cold, congealed fat rock on my lips.
08:14The grease skippled out my heart.
08:16I couldn't break the grip, so I drove my heel into the pain instead.
08:20The bowl shattered on the floor.
08:22You filthy half-blood!
08:24She grabbed a chair from the bedside and swirled with a skull.
08:27I rolled, snatched the candle holder, buried the metal spike in my abdomen.
08:32The scream brought the whole compound running.
08:34The chamber door slammed open.
08:36Alpha Silas stormed in, fuming behind him.
08:39A woman led the little Omega girl by the hand.
08:41The woman screamed at the sight of the servant, bleeding on the floor.
08:44Where did this Mongol come from, daring to injure a werewolf?
08:49Today I'll show you what the rules of werewolves are.
08:51Before he left the slap, I grabbed her arm and bit down on her neck, then spat directly onto her
08:57violently human chest.
08:58She let out a piercing shriek.
09:00She scrambled frantically to pull off her clothes, but a number of low-ranking Omegas had just followed her into
09:05the room.
09:06She couldn't actually strip in front of him, so she could only cry, then grabbed the child and fled.
09:12Alpha Silas' face went cold as I...
09:14Where is your mother?
09:14Tell me right now!
09:16I want to know what kind of creature she raised.
09:19I gave him one flat look, turned away from his self-righteous mouth.
09:26Leaned over the side of the bed and shoved two fingers down my throat.
09:30The cold greets came back up across the stone floor.
09:33Silence.
09:34That servant was trying to kill me.
09:37I pointed at the cold suit on the floor.
09:40Cold fat broth poured into a starving stomach.
09:42That's not nursing technique.
09:44That's execution method.
09:45Cold broth, he looked down at the spilled bowl.
09:48The servant was in the wrong, but you had no cause to attack Selene.
09:51She is innocent.
09:52She is your aunt.
09:53She is your mother's younger sister.
09:56Her mate died.
09:56She's living here under pack protection.
09:58Don't invent the same paranoid stories your mother did.
10:01Stories?
10:02Her belly says otherwise.
10:03That child's origins are not your concern.
10:06You only need to know she poses no threat to you.
10:10He clenched his fists in anger.
10:11He scratched his head.
10:12Your mother.
10:14Where is she?
10:16Whatever monstrous thing she made of you, I intend to tell her myself.
10:20I said nothing.
10:22She's dead.
10:23Flatly, like stating the letter of the pack.
10:24My face snapped sideways.
10:26You don't say things like that.
10:27Not about your own blood.
10:30I raised my hand and stared at the bloodstained bandage around his waist.
10:34I should have aimed higher.
10:36I should have gone for the heart.
10:39The Eastern Settlements.
10:41Three years ago, when the Witch Clan seized control, Gallows sold her into the flesh market another blow before I
10:46could grace.
10:48Stop lying.
10:50Tomorrow you take me to her.
10:52Living or dead, I want proof.
10:55I want to see what kind of life she built after she betrayed me.
11:01You couldn't ask for food?
11:03You had to let yourself collapse?
11:04This is a bid for sympathy?
11:06I did ask, before you recognized me.
11:09I asked if you could spare one coin.
11:11I said I wanted to buy something to eat.
11:13A flicker of something unnatural crossed his face.
11:16He remembered.
11:18Call me father.
11:20I didn't say anything.
11:21I just looked at him quietly.
11:23He narrowed his eyes.
11:24Can't speak.
11:25Won't.
11:26Then starve!
11:28He stormed out the door in anger.
11:30The servant who stayed was small, barely older than me.
11:33The moment the door shut, she took a piece of cake and put it in my hand.
11:38I'll sneak more from the kitchen.
11:39I looked at her in surprise.
11:41I held the cake under my nose and breathed in.
11:44Cold, but soft.
11:45Fragrant.
11:46For me?
11:47You're hungry.
11:48I can tell.
11:49You're older than me, but smaller.
11:51You haven't eaten properly in ages.
11:54Not really.
11:55At the start, it was three days hungry for every nine.
11:58At the worst, I eat everything.
12:01Does that disgust you?
12:02She smiled.
12:03Slightly.
12:04Then, she hugged me tightly.
12:06You've suffered so much.
12:08It was the first time since my mother and brother died.
12:10That anyone had touched me with gentleness.
12:14I could tell the difference between real and performance.
12:17Always could.
12:19At least here, there was food.
12:20Her name was Quinn.
12:21Eastern Settlements.
12:22Same as me.
12:23A half-blood.
12:24She'd fled the collapse of her parents and sold herself into pack service.
12:27Indestid service beats the flesh market in a farm year.
12:30I'm sorry, I...
12:32Don't be.
12:34You're only saying what's true.
12:35I comforted her.
12:37The pack compound bed was obscenely soft.
12:40Furs thick.
12:41Quinn heated water to bring my fever down.
12:43And while she worked, she talked.
12:45Once.
12:46Five days without finding food.
12:48My father took his own knife and cut into his arm to feed us.
12:52Kept us alive long enough to reach Iron Moon territory.
12:55Her father lost the arm to infection.
12:58The pack compound wouldn't take a cripple, so he lived in a tent outside the walls, hauling waste from highbloods
13:03who wouldn't touch it themselves.
13:05Quinn and her mother visited whenever they could.
13:07I listened, and said nothing, and felt an ache I had no name for.
13:13Your father is the best father in the world.
13:15If only my mother had found someone like that.
13:18But she had no such luck.
13:19From as early as I could remember, Gallows would rent her out.
13:22Because my mother was beautiful, he would have her pretend to be an Omega and go to other households to
13:27bear hybrid children for them, since a hybrid status was higher than a human's.
13:31If she still refused, he'd grab me by the throat and lift.
13:35Then she would go quietly.
13:36We were rarely together.
13:38I missed her constantly.
13:39But every time she came back, she always found one piece of sugar somewhere.
13:43Pressed it into my hand.
13:46Sweet things make a hard life easy, Elira.
13:54The next morning, Alpha Silas pressed a palm to my forehead.
13:57The fever's down.
13:58Put on clothes.
13:59You're taking me to your mother.
14:00Yanked me from the bed, and told me to get dressed.
14:02The stolen clothes didn't fit.
14:04Quinn fussed with the lacing, then quietly asked Alpha Silas if she could lend me her own.
14:09Your mother still loves her little tricks, trying to make me feel sorry for you.
14:12There's nothing she won't stoop to.
14:13He gave me a mildly irritated look, then sent for a trader.
14:17Three sets of clothes arrived.
14:18None fit.
14:19The trader stared at me and exhaled.
14:21Eleven years old.
14:22This is a child of eight at most.
14:24Nothing but skin and winter wind.
14:26My best cuts can't hang on this.
14:28Alpha Silas stared at my wrists.
14:30Something complicated moved through his face.
14:32Find something that fits.
14:33The trader came back with planar cuts.
14:36Well made.
14:36Warm.
14:37With a lynx fur collar.
14:38I didn't care about style.
14:40After three years of single layer stolen rags, the fox fur lining against my skin was almost
14:45too much to process.
14:47We were nearly to the pack boundary when Selene appeared.
14:50She drifted down the corridor in robes.
14:52That particular graceful frailty, that powerful men tend to mistake for virtue.
14:57My what fine fabric.
14:59The Alpha is generous, even with those who've shown him no loyalty.
15:02Alpha Silas let go of my wrist, and vaulted onto his dire wolf, without looking at her.
15:08She carries my blood.
15:09Feed her, clothe her, that much is simple.
15:13The resemblance is interesting, but she's undersized.
15:17Could be coincidence.
15:19Could be your blood.
15:20These things require verification, Alpha.
15:23I'll handle it my own way.
15:25Once I find her mother, I'll have answers.
15:27Your sister went missing eleven years ago.
15:29I've missed my sister.
15:31Perfect.
15:31Liar.
15:32Eleven years.
15:33May I come?
15:35I'll take good care of Phoebe.
15:37I won't get in anyone's way.
15:38He yielded.
15:40She won again.
15:41Extra servants crowded carriages.
15:43A trap in the carrie.
15:45I would not ride with that snake.
15:48Reason.
15:50If you don't want to get hurt, you'd better stay away from me.
15:53I'm worried she'll hurt the child and blame it on me.
15:55And I'm worried I won't be able to stop myself from cutting her throat.
15:58You!
15:58You're exactly like my sister!
16:00Vicious!
16:01Paranoid!
16:01You can't possibly be his!
16:03You must be some bastard your mother conceived with another man after she betrayed the Alpha.
16:06Sleep with one eye open.
16:07I may come visiting.
16:08Feral hybrid.
16:11Come up.
16:12He called me feral.
16:13He wasn't wrong.
16:15I chose the cold carriage over his games.
16:17I'd rather be cold than caged.
16:20When Selene approached to board, she was met with a fresh bone blade I'd ground from a broken bowl.
16:25The first one, Alpha Silas had confiscated.
16:28Your mother killed herself so they'd let you through my mother's family.
16:32After that, you took my mother's betrothed.
16:34I pointed the knife at her.
16:37And then you decided you wanted her Alpha.
16:39That's not...
16:40Lion and I loved each other and I have never with the Alpha.
16:45We are completely nothing!
16:47He protected her.
16:48Always.
16:49Satisfied!
16:50I gave him what he wanted.
16:52My mother is in Ravamoor County.
16:55Western Territory.
16:56He didn't say anything.
16:58Let's move.
16:58He just waved his hand.
16:59The moment we passed beyond his pack's boundary, his beta had already prepared a new coach.
17:05For Selene.
17:06Selene came down.
17:07Alpha.
17:08You've done too much for me.
17:10Wasting so many resources on my account again.
17:13It's nothing.
17:14I looked at him with disdain.
17:16We walked in the snow for who knows how long.
17:19We finally arrived at the first outpost.
17:21We went inside.
17:23The innkeeper was a one-armed man.
17:26He looked at Alpha Silas and went pale.
17:28My lord, welcome.
17:30We have rooms prepared.
17:32We all took our seats.
17:34Selene sat at the head table, Phoebe on her lap, accepting compliments from the lesser betas.
17:40I sat in the corner, watching her.
17:43Eat, miss.
17:44It's warm.
17:45She passed me a plate of stew.
17:47Thin, but hot.
17:48Then at Selene, laughing softly at something, a guard said.
17:52Then, at Alpha Silas, who was staring into his wine.
17:57Quinn, do you know who that woman is?
17:59Lady Selene.
18:00She's the Alpha's, ah, companion.
18:03And that's her daughter, Phoebe.
18:04I tasted the word.
18:05It was bitter.
18:07Companion.
18:09And my mother.
18:10Quinn's face fell.
18:12I, I don't know, miss.
18:13I'm sorry.
18:15I am disappointed.
18:17I'm not hungry.
18:19Later that night, I couldn't sleep.
18:21I slipped from my room and crept toward the stables.
18:24As I passed the kitchen, I heard voices, low, familiar.
18:28I pressed myself against the wall and listened.
18:32A huge conspiracy is about to be uncovered.
18:36The little bitch is asleep.
18:38I saw her.
18:38She didn't touch her food.
18:40It was Quinn's voice.
18:41But the tone was wrong.
18:42Cold.
18:43Calculating.
18:44Good.
18:45The poison is in the stew.
18:47She'll be dead by morning.
18:49And then we can sell she to the market.
18:51Alpha Silas won't miss a hybrid.
18:52And the Alpha?
18:53He's sleeping in the East Wing.
18:55Selene has him wrapped around her finger.
18:56He won't notice a thing.
18:57Selene's a fool.
18:58She thinks she's using us.
18:59But once the girl is gone, we'll take the Omega pup and trade her too.
19:02Pure blood Omega's fetch a high price.
19:04My blood turned to ice.
19:05Quinn, my gentle, kind Quinn.
19:08It was all a lie.
19:09Every word.
19:10I kicked open the kitchen door.
19:12Now burst inside.
19:14The one-armed innkeeper.
19:16And Quinn spun.
19:16Eyes wide.
19:17I runned.
19:19The bone blade sank into her throat.
19:21She looked at me with disbelief.
19:23Then grabbed my arm tightly.
19:25The innkeeper roared and swung a cleaver.
19:28I ducked.
19:28Slashed at his legs.
19:30He fell.
19:30I drove the blade into his chest.
19:33It is all over.
19:35Alpha appeared at the door.
19:37Lyra.
19:38He looked at me with surprise.
19:40Seemingly unable to believe that I had done it all.
19:44He slowly walked towards me and then asked.
19:48What have you done?
19:49I looked at him.
19:50They were going to kill me and sell Phoebe.
19:53This one.
19:54I know him.
19:55I looked at Quinn's body.
19:56He was a rogue.
19:57Tried to ambush my patrol last year.
19:59I let him live.
20:02He walked towards me.
20:05And this one?
20:06She was my servant.
20:08She pretended to be kind.
20:10She gave me poison stew.
20:12She was working for Selene.
20:14Alpha Silas' face went hard.
20:16Selene would never.
20:19Senno would never.
20:21I took out a knife and wiped it.
20:24Wouldn't she?
20:25She hates my mother.
20:26She hates me.
20:27She wants your pack.
20:29And she'll kill anyone who gets in her way.
20:31Her eyes were open, staring at nothing.
20:33Clean this up and bury them.
20:35Outside the walls.
20:37I stood alone in the kitchen.
20:38The blood was still warm on my hands.
20:40I looked down at Quinn's face.
20:43I'm sorry.
20:44I whispered.
20:45I wanted to believe you.
20:47I found Alpha Simus in the stables, gently grooming his direwolf, not noticing my arrival
20:52at all.
20:52Why didn't you tell me about the poison?
20:54I retorting.
20:55Would you have believed me?
20:57You believe Selim is innocent?
20:59You believe my mother is a liar?
21:01Why would you believe me?
21:03He stopped grooming.
21:04Turned to face me.
21:05His eyes were cold, but not angry.
21:07You killed a pack servant.
21:10Without proof.
21:11Without trial.
21:12He looked at me.
21:13Really looked.
21:14For the first time, I think.
21:16She was going to kill me.
21:17And you were sleeping.
21:20What would you have done?
21:22Held a trial in the morning?
21:24While I was dead?
21:25I locked eyes with him.
21:27You're Bimrali.
21:29You have your mother's eyes.
21:32And her temper.
21:33Not as a bastard.
21:34Not as a nuisance.
21:36But as something else.
21:37Something dangerous.
21:38The care seemed to freeze.
21:40This was the first time we looked at each other so calmly.
21:42No quarrels.
21:43No indifference.
21:44Only end in Spoken's emotions.
21:46He reached into his belt and pulled out a knife.
21:49Not a bone blade.
21:49A real knife.
21:50Take it.
21:51I stared at the knife, then at him.
21:54Why?
21:55He paused.
21:57Because you'll need it.
21:58The road ahead is dangerous.
21:59And I won't always be there to save you.
22:01I looked down at the knife.
22:03I took the knife.
22:04The metal was cold in my hand.
22:07He nodded.
22:08Get some sleep.
22:09We ride at dawn.
22:10I turned to leave.
22:12Then stopped.
22:14Alpha Simus.
22:16My name is Lyra.
22:18Not hybrid.
22:20Not bastard.
22:23Lyra.
22:24He was silent for a moment.
22:25Then he nodded.
22:27Lyra.
22:28I walked out of the stables.
22:30The air was cold.
22:31But for the first time in years, I didn't feel the chill.
22:35I climbed into the supply carriage.
22:37Selene was asleep inside.
22:39Phoebe curled against her chest.
22:41I looked at them.
22:42Then at the knife in my hand.
22:43I could do it now.
22:44Kill them both.
22:45But not yet.
22:47Not until I had what I wanted.
22:48I sheathed the knife.
22:50And went to sleep.
22:55We traveled for three days.
22:57The landscape grew up.
23:03After a long journey, we finally arrived at a small town.
23:07People stared at our possession.
23:10The Alpha on his diary.
23:12The lady in her fine carriage.
23:14The supply cart with the hybrid bastard.
23:16On the fourth day, we stopped at a market town.
23:19Alpha Silas went to meet with the local beta.
23:24Selene took Phoebe shopping.
23:26I was left with the guards.
23:27I wandered the market, looking for nothing.
23:29Just watching.
23:30In the afternoon, Alpha Silas ordered the guards to take...
23:33I should be with you.
23:34Whatever waits there.
23:35...back first.
23:36They need you safe.
23:37Phoebe needs her mother whole.
23:39I need to know you are behind walls when I face what comes.
23:43She relented.
23:44She took Phoebe and boarded the carriage with the guards.
23:49The carriage disappeared into the dust.
23:52Silas turned to Lyra.
23:54We ride east.
23:55She was last seen near the crumpling spires.
23:57Father and daughter, Alpha and hybrid, into the bleakening east.
24:02We reached Ravenmere County on the seventh day.
24:05There is no one here.
24:06It was a ghost town.
24:10Half the buildings were burned.
24:12The rest were falling down.
24:14The air smelled of ash and wet.
24:17Alpha Silas looked around.
24:19This is where she lived.
24:20Yes.
24:21This is where Gallo sold her.
24:23We rode to the edge of town.
24:24To a small house.
24:26Or, what was left of it.
24:27The roof was gone.
24:28The walls were cumbled.
24:30Leads flew through the floor.
24:31I slowly walked in.
24:33The memories hit me like a physical blow.
24:35My mother, singing.
24:36My brother, laughing.
24:38Gallows, drunk and angry.
24:39The night he sold her.
24:41I fell to my knees.
24:43The dust was wet.
24:44It had been raining.
24:45Or maybe it was my tears.
24:46I didn't know.
24:47I couldn't stop.
24:50Alpha Silas stood in the doorway.
24:52He didn't come in.
24:54Where is she?
24:55She's here.
24:56I looked up.
24:57My face was streaked with mud and tears.
24:59Alpha did not believe.
25:01I don't see her.
25:04She's here.
25:05In the ground.
25:07I started digging.
25:08With my hands.
25:09The earth was soft.
25:11Wet.
25:11Alpha Silas watched.
25:13He didn't help.
25:14He just watched.
25:15After an hour, I hit something.
25:17Bone.
25:18Small.
25:18Fragile.
25:19I pulled it out.
25:20A child's rib.
25:21Then another.
25:22These aren't hers.
25:24These are a child's.
25:25My brother.
25:28Gallows killed him.
25:30And buried him here.
25:32With her.
25:34I kept digging.
25:35Deeper.
25:35The rain fell harder.
25:37I didn't care.
25:38I found a skull.
25:39Small.
25:40Broken.
25:41Mama.
25:44This isn't her.
25:49What?
25:51This is a child's skull.
25:53Your mother was an adult.
25:54These bones are too small.
25:57Then where is she?
25:59I don't know.
26:00But I'll find her.
26:02And when I do, I'll kill Gallows.
26:06I'll help you.
26:09Good.
26:10Because you're the only one who knows what he's capable of.
26:13We buried the bones.
26:14My brother's bones.
26:15In a shallow grave behind the house.
26:18I didn't have a marker.
26:19Just a stone.
26:21I need to find my mama.
26:22So I must pretend to get close to him.
26:25And his wolf clan.
26:27Lyra.
26:28He spoke.
26:28Slowly.
26:30You're coming with me.
26:31To Iron Moon Pack.
26:32Perfect.
26:33For me.
26:34Yes, father.
26:36Yes, father.
26:36Yes.
26:37Yes, father.
