00:00Perform a soul-severing ritual on me.
00:03You want him to think you're dead?
00:04Yes.
00:09The full moon glared down at the birthing altar.
00:12A contraction ripped through me so hard my spine arched off the stone.
00:16Dominic squeezed my hand.
00:18Almost there, Selina.
00:20My mate, my alpha, bound to me by the moon goddess herself.
00:23The pack priest walked in carrying a silver tray.
00:26I offered my arm for the pain relief.
00:28The needle pierced my skin, but it wasn't medicine.
00:31The pungent scent hit my nose.
00:33Wolfsbane.
00:34I looked at Dominic.
00:35He wasn't surprised.
00:36He was checking his watch.
00:38Vivian's water just broke.
00:40Delay her for two hours.
00:42Our true heir needs to be born first.
00:44He turned and walked away.
00:45Didn't look back.
00:46I tried to scream.
00:48I wanted my wolf to tear free and lunge after him.
00:51But the wolfsbane was already working.
00:53My wolf was dragged under.
00:54My voice died in my throat.
00:56And my pup halfway into the world stopped moving, frozen inside me by her own father's command.
01:01Two pack guards dragged me down into the dungeon beneath the temple.
01:04A place for rogues, war prisoners, and wolves sentenced to death.
01:08Now it held the alpha's fated mate and his unborn child.
01:13A single rune lamp flickered on the wall.
01:16Straw on the floor.
01:17No bed.
01:17I slid down the freezing stone wall, hands clutching my belly.
01:21She was still kicking, faint, frantic.
01:24Mommy's here.
01:25Mommy's here.
01:26Three months ago, Dominic's older brother, Marcus, died in a territorial dispute.
01:38His mate Vivian was carrying a boy.
01:41A pure-blood alpha heir.
01:42The only pup he could inherit.
01:44Mine was a girl.
01:46Girls couldn't inherit.
01:47The moment the ultrasound confirmed it, the entire Blackwood pack abandoned us both.
01:53Heels flicked down the corridor.
01:54Cassandra Blackwood.
01:55Dominic's sister.
01:56The pack beta.
02:02She stood outside the iron bars, twirling a silver dagger.
02:05The blade dragged along the bars, metal screeching.
02:08Selene, don't blame my brother.
02:11Vivian is carrying Marcus's post-morious son.
02:14A pure-blood alpha heir.
02:15The only pup in our generation who can inherit the alpha title.
02:19It doesn't matter how early you give birth.
02:21You're carrying a girl.
02:23Girls can't inherit.
02:25You know that.
02:26A contraption slammed into me.
02:27The wolf's bane pushed the labor down.
02:29My body fought back.
02:31Two forces tore me apart from the inside.
02:34Get the priest.
02:35The baby is coming.
02:37Please.
02:38The wolf's bane will last another three hours.
02:42Vivian has already been taken to the birthing altar.
02:45We'll stay here and wait.
02:47If she starts howling, gag her.
02:49Don't let the noise reach upstairs.
02:51Don't scare Viviana.
02:59I looked down.
03:01My dress was soaked in blood.
03:02All I could see was Dominic's face.
03:04When he turned away, his eyes held no guilt.
03:06Just cold calculation.
03:07I dragged myself to the cell door.
03:09Then I punched the cell door hard.
03:11Again and again.
03:12Until my skin split open.
03:14Somebody!
03:15Help!
03:15I'm in labor!
03:16Save my baby!
03:18Shut up.
03:18If it dies, that's its fate.
03:20A girl with no inheritance rights.
03:22Her death won't affect the pack.
03:24My blood-stained hands slid off the cell door.
03:28I collapsed into a pool of my own blood.
03:31This wasn't fate.
03:32Someone was murdering my child.
03:34Just as my vision began to blur,
03:36the heavy door crashed open.
03:38Dr. Holden, the pack doctor.
03:40The moment he saw me,
03:41all the colors drained from his face.
03:43Luna?
03:44What are you doing here?
03:46Dominic said you were resting in the Moonstone Lounge.
03:49Fully dilated.
03:50Water broke.
03:51You're losing too much blood.
03:52The wolf-less vein is still suppressing your healing.
03:56Guards!
03:57The Lunar is hemorrhaging!
03:58Only echoes answered.
04:00No one came.
04:01He tried his comm stone.
04:02Nothing.
04:03The dungeon's warding runes blocked all signals.
04:06Gritting his teeth, he scooped me up and ran.
04:09An aging beta carrying a bleeding woman up three flights of stone stairs.
04:13Every jolt sending agony through my pelvis.
04:15He burst onto the ground floor, ran for the medical wing, kicked open the door, and froze.
04:21He kicked open the door and froze.
04:24Everything was gone.
04:25Stripped bare.
04:26Every Moonstone crystal, runestone, potion, gone.
04:29How?
04:31I checked inventory this afternoon.
04:33Cassandra strolled down the hall.
04:35Two Omega attendants followed behind her.
04:37We moved to the third floor.
04:39Vivian's C-section is high risk.
04:41She needs the best resources.
04:43Her gaze drifted to me, drenched in blood, half-dead in Dr. Holden's arms.
04:47She smiled.
04:48I knew that smile.
04:50Six months ago, she'd worn it downtown, linking her arm through mine.
04:53Selena, you're the best Luna I've ever met.
04:56You're more like a real sister to me.
04:58The antique Moonstone necklace I gave her still rested against her collarbone.
05:02It glowed softly in the dim hallway and made her smile look monstrous.
05:06Dr. Holden laid me on a bare stone cot.
05:09He tore open every cabinet and drawer.
05:11Empty, not a single herb.
05:13I'm sorry, Luna.
05:15I have nothing.
05:17Relax.
05:18Once Vivian is done, the supplies will be returned.
05:21What's the rush?
05:22Her gaze dropped to my belly.
05:24Besides, you were nothing but a breeding machine from the beginning.
05:29And you couldn't even produce the right product.
05:31Dr. Holden stepped in front of me.
05:33This is murder, Cassandra.
05:35Two lives.
05:36Her smile vanished.
05:37Mothers and pups die in childbirth every day.
05:40Dysstedia, hemorrhage, healing failure, perfectly natural causes of death.
05:44No one will say a damn thing.
05:47And this is Blackwood family business.
05:49You're a contract beta doctor.
05:51Know your place.
05:52She snapped at the guards.
05:53Drag him to the third floor.
05:55Vivian needs him.
05:56I'll handle her.
05:57Two guards grabbed Dr. Holden.
05:59He thrashed against them, screaming over his shoulder.
06:02Luna, press your stomach.
06:03Shard the wolf hard.
06:05Fight the wolf bond.
06:06The baby still has a heartbeat.
06:08You can still save her.
06:10Cassandra slammed the door, then pulled out a comm.
06:13Stone, Dominic's face appeared in the holographic screen.
06:16Behind him, the birthing altar blazed with light.
06:18Priests moved in and out.
06:20Nurses swarmed around Vivian.
06:22Dominic?
06:23Selina looks like she's about to deliver.
06:26Want to see?
06:27Dominic's eyes shifted to me.
06:28One glance.
06:29Like I was trashed by the roadside.
06:31Stop messing around, Savina.
06:33Vivian isn't doing well.
06:35The baby's heart rate dropped twice.
06:37Cassandra moved the stone closer, making sure the screen clearly showed my dying form.
06:41But look, she's bleeding a lot.
06:43Doesn't she look like she's dying?
06:45Tell her to wait.
06:45Once Vivian is done, I'll send a priest down.
06:48Cassandra pocketed the stone.
06:49You heard him?
06:50Vivian is the priority.
06:52Marcus' son is the priority.
06:54You were nothing.
06:55I closed my eyes, stopped looking at her.
06:57My hand crept behind my back, fingers finding the tiny raised bump on my left hip.
07:02It looked like a mole.
07:03It wasn't a blood seal rune.
07:05My father had carved it into my skin on my wedding day with his own alpha blood.
07:09His voice echoed in my head.
07:11Selina, the waters in the Blackwood family may run deeper than you know.
07:14If the day ever comes when you need help, bite your finger and let one drop of blood fall on
07:18this rune.
07:19No matter where you are, someone will reach you within 30 minutes.
07:22I had laughed and pushed his hand away.
07:24Dad, you're being dramatic.
07:27Dominic treats me so well.
07:28I'm his mate.
07:30The moon goddess chose him for me.
07:32How could he ever hurt me?
07:34My father had been silent for a long time.
07:36Then he only said one thing.
07:38The moon goddess binds the souls, Selina.
07:40But she doesn't bind the heart.
07:42I was such a fool.
07:43Blood welled on my fingertip.
07:45I let it fall on the rune.
07:4930 minutes.
07:50I looked at the blood pooling beneath me.
07:52My baby's heartbeat was still there.
07:54Hold on.
07:55Please hold on.
07:55The wolf's bane's suppression broke.
07:57Every contraction that had been held back for hours hit at once, like a damn collapsing wave.
08:02After wave, faster, harder, I screamed.
08:05The sound ricocheted off stone walls.
08:07An omega attendant rushed in, checked me, and went white.
08:11Fully dilated.
08:12The head's crowning.
08:13Hemorrhage.
08:13We need moonstone crystals, healing rooms, anything.
08:15Cassandra didn't even step into the room.
08:17Then let them die.
08:18It's just a girl.
08:21Completely useless.
08:23Alive.
08:23She's a waste of space.
08:26Dead.
08:27Changes nothing.
08:28She turned and walked away.
08:29The attendant tried.
08:31But I had no blood left.
08:32No strength.
08:33No wolf.
08:33My muscles wouldn't obey me.
08:35The baby was stuck in the birth canal.
08:37I could feel her heartbeat getting weaker.
08:39Slower fading.
08:40My vision went black.
08:41I am sorry, baby.
08:42Mommy tried.
08:43A deafening wolf howl tore through the night.
08:46The entire Blackwood territory shook.
08:48The protective wards flared violently across the walls.
08:51Then shattered.
08:52A booming blast rocked the building.
08:54Centuries of Blackwood enchantments.
08:56Destroyed in seconds.
08:58Moonlight flooded the room.
08:59In that silver light stood a massive man in tactical combat gear.
09:05He ripped off his helmet.
09:07Battle scarred face.
09:09Cold silver eyes.
09:10Eyes that had witnessed countless massacres and never flinched.
09:13But the moment they found me, they turned bloodshot.
09:16Garrett.
09:17My father's head better.
09:18The man who caught me every time I fell learning to walk.
09:21Who shifted into wolf form and slept beside my bed when I was afraid of the dark.
09:25Who stood at the very back of my wedding, silent, jaw locked, eyes red.
09:29Because he already knew.
09:31He crossed the room in one stride and dropped to one knee.
09:34The stone floor cracked under the impact.
09:36Princess.
09:38I am late.
09:40Behind him stood twelve heavily armored warriors.
09:42Silver eyes.
09:43Weapons drawn.
09:44The elite shadow fanguard.
09:45Blackwood guards lay unconscious in the hall.
09:48The Omega attendants screamed.
09:49This is Blackwood territory!
09:52Who are you?
09:52How did you get it?
09:53Garrett didn't look at her.
09:54He was already lifting me off the cot, one arm beneath my knees.
09:58The other cradling my head, as gently as if I were made of glass.
10:01Blackwood?
10:03Soon, there won't be a Blackwood.
10:05The shadow fang warriors moved with terrifying efficiency.
10:09From the moment the captain picked me up to the second,
10:11I was loaded into an armored pack ambulance waiting just outside the borders.
10:15Barely four minutes had passed.
10:17Four minutes I had bled in that dungeon for hours, begging for help and no one came.
10:21Shadow fang shattered the territory's defenses and extracted me in four minutes.
10:25Inside the medical transport, emergency moonstone arrays flared to life, bathing my body in pure silver light.
10:32Blood pressure critically low.
10:33Blood loss exceeds the lethal threshold by three times.
10:36Fetal distress is severe.
10:37Heart rate is under 60 and dropping.
10:39We must perform an emergency C-section right now, but her vitals can't handle surgery.
10:44Do it!
10:45The captain's roar rattled the walls of the ambulance.
10:48Every medic flinched.
10:49He gripped my hand, his knuckles white, veins bulging up his forearms.
10:53I'll take full responsibility.
10:55Cut her open!
10:56I squeezed his fingers back, using the absolute last shred of my strength.
11:01Garrett.
11:03Garrett.
11:04Save the baby.
11:05Save the baby first.
11:07Garrett, my father's headbeater.
11:09The man who had guarded me since the day I was born.
11:11When I was learning to walk and fell, he was the one who picked me up.
11:14When I was terrified of the dark, he shifted into his wolf form and slept beside my bed the entire
11:19night.
11:19On the day I got married, he stood at the very back of the crowd.
11:22Completely silent, his eyes red.
11:24Now he was kneeling beside my stretcher, his combat armor stained with blackwood blood.
11:29His silver eyes completely bloodshot.
11:31Princess, don't speak.
11:33Save your strength.
11:34His voice trembled, but he gritted out every word like a blood oath.
11:37The alpha is on his way.
11:39He'll be here soon.
11:40You and the pup will be fine.
11:42I swear it on my life.
11:43Before he could finish, the moonstone array above the operating table violently flickered.
11:48The vital sign monitors erupted into a shrill, piercing, uninterrupted scream.
11:54Cardiac arrest!
11:56The luna's heart has stopped.
11:58Push the moonlight essence.
11:59Start the recitation, Ronin's.
12:01Fetal heart rate is plummeting.
12:0370, 50, 30, scalpel, now!
12:06The medics shoved Garrett out of the way.
12:08He stumbled back into the corner of the ambulance, clenching his fists so hard his claws tore through his own
12:14palms, blood dripping onto the metal floor.
12:16The surgeon sliced open my abdomen with a room-carved scalpel.
12:19Silver energy flooded the incision, forcibly cauterizing the bleeding.
12:23They were draining the absolute limits of their healing stones just to keep my soul tethered to my body.
12:28Essence injected.
12:29Heartbeat is faint but back.
12:31Where's the pup?
12:32Found her!
12:33Extract!
12:34Pull her out!
12:35The umbilical cape is wrapped around her neck.
12:37Damn it!
12:37The wolf spain choked off her oxygen in the womb for too long.
12:40She's out!
12:41She's out!
12:42They pulled a baby from my womb, but she didn't cry.
12:45In the final second, before the darkness swallowed me entirely, I forced my eyes open.
12:50My vision was a massive blur of blinding silver light.
12:53But I saw it.
12:54Through the haze, the doctor held a tiny blood-covered infant in his hands.
12:58She wasn't moving.
12:59She wasn't breathing.
13:00She didn't cry.
13:02The voices faded.
13:03Faded into an abyss of static.
13:04The last thing I heard was Garrett.
13:06A battle-hardened warrior in his 40s, covered in 37 scars.
13:10A man who had ripped the throats out of hundreds of rogues, collapsing into the corner of the
13:14ambulance, and silently weeping.
13:16I woke up to the harsh smell of medical bleach, mixed with the crisp, ozone scent of moonstone
13:21crystals.
13:22The princess is awake!
13:24Someone shouted in relief.
13:26Several faces crowded my vision.
13:28Familiar faces.
13:29My father's personal elite guards.
13:32Uncles who had watched me grow up.
13:34Garrett stood closest to the bed.
13:35His jaw was clenched so tight a muscle ticked in his cheek.
13:38His eyes rimmed with red.
13:40Seeing me open my eyes, his lips parted, but no words came out.
13:44He just gave me one stiff, trembling nod.
13:47Where is she?
13:48A figure standing at the foot of my bed slowly turned around.
13:52My father.
13:52My father, the current alpha of the Shadowfang Pack, the absolute ruler of the oldest, most
13:57lethal werewolf bloodline on the North American continent.
14:00In the entire werewolf world, his name alone made other alphas bow their heads in submission.
14:05He was 54, his posture as straight as a spear.
14:09I had never seen him slouch.
14:10But right now, his hair was completely white.
14:13Overnight, he had gone totally gray.
14:15He walked over and sat on the edge of my bed.
14:17He took my hand in his.
14:19His hands were massive, calloused, scarred from decades of war.
14:22These hands had snapped the necks of his enemies and signed treaties that dictated the
14:26fates of millions of wolves.
14:28Right now, they were shaking.
14:30Selena.
14:30He choked on my name.
14:31He bowed his head.
14:32In my entire life, I had never seen this man bow his head.
14:36Not when facing the interrogations of the Seven Alpha Council.
14:39Not when executing traitors with his bare hands.
14:42Not even when he stood before my mother's grave for an entire night.
14:46But now, looking at me, he bowed his head.
14:49She's gone, isn't she?
14:51I looked at him, and I knew the answer.
14:54My father nodded.
14:56A single, scalding tear fell from his face onto the back of my hand.
15:00The hemorrhage, placental abtruction, the wolf bait in her bloodstream.
15:05She was deprived of oxygen for too long.
15:07The doctors did everything.
15:09The moonlight essence, the healing stones, the ancient bloodline resurrection rituals.
15:13We couldn't bring her back.
15:15The room fell dead silent.
15:17The only sound was the low, steady hum of the medical crystals.
15:20I closed my eyes.
15:22That tiny life that had lived inside me for nine months.
15:25The pup that kicked my ribs.
15:26The pup that made me run to the bathroom three times a night.
15:29The little wolf who would instantly calm down the second I rubbed my belly and whispered,
15:34Mommy's here, gone.
15:35Where is Dominic?
15:37My father lifted his head and wiped his face.
15:39Who?
15:40At the Blackwood Pack.
15:41By Vivian's side.
15:42She gave birth.
15:43A boy.
15:44Pure Blood Alpha Lineage.
15:46The entire Blackwood Pack is throwing a massive celebration for their new heir.
15:50They held the Moonlight Recognition Ceremony.
15:52The old alpha hosted it himself, right before he died.
15:55Not a single person thought of you.
15:57Not a single person asked if you were dead or alive.
16:00I laughed.
16:01My chest heaved as a broken hysterical laugh tore out of my throat.
16:05The mate bond was still pulsing faintly in my chest.
16:08I could feel Dominic's heartbeat.
16:10Steady.
16:11Joyful.
16:12Untroubled.
16:13He was smiling.
16:14He was celebrating.
16:15His fated mate had nearly bled to death in a dungeon.
16:18And his daughter was a corpse.
16:20And he was celebrating.
16:22Good.
16:23That's good.
16:23My father tightened his grip on my hand.
16:26Selena.
16:27Come home with me.
16:28Blackwood Pack doesn't deserve you.
16:32Dad.
16:34I need you to do something for me.
16:37Anything.
16:38Perform a soul-severing ritual on me.
16:40My father froze.
16:42The soul-severing ritual.
16:43One of the darkest, most ancient forbidden arts of the Shadowfang bloodline.
16:47It artificially severed a mate bond.
16:49Forcing the other party to experience the exact physical sensation of their mate dying.
16:54The stopping of the heart.
16:55The shredding of the soul.
16:56The permanent snapping of the bond.
16:58To the person on the receiving end.
17:00It felt exactly like their mate had perished.
17:02You want him to think you're dead?
17:04Yes.
17:05The soul-severing ritual took place on the obsidian altar.
17:08Deep within the Shadowfang's ancestral lands.
17:10Midnight.
17:11A new moon.
17:12Pitch black.
17:13It was the only time we could deceive the moon goddess's gaze.
17:16I lay on the cold stone.
17:18Surrounded by four of our oldest priests.
17:21Their chanting was deep.
17:22Guttural.
17:23Vibrating with the ancient, lost tongue of the first wolves.
17:26My chest handed violently.
17:28It was Dominic's heart-beat.
17:29Eating inside me.
17:30Clear across a thousand miles.
17:32The high priest pressed his palm against my sternum.
17:35The runes flared blinding white.
17:37And then.
17:38An invisible silver spike was viciously ripped out of my heart.
17:41The mate bond is a tether woven into the soul.
17:43Severing it felt like two deeply intertwined trees being violently ripped apart by their
17:48roots.
17:48I clamped my teeth together, refusing to scream.
17:51In my mind's eye, I saw glowing golden threads.
17:54The physical manifestation of our bonds snapping one by one, turning into ash.
17:58When the final thread broke, my chest went completely hollow.
18:01A terrifying, absent emptiness.
18:04Like someone had reached into my ribcage and carved out my heart.
18:07Leaving nothing but an open void.
18:09The ritual was complete.
18:11From this second onward, in Dominic's mind and soul, I was dead.
18:14Meanwhile, a thousand miles away, in the heart of Blackwood Territory, Dominic stood proudly
18:19at the main altar, accepting the congratulatory toasts from his pack members.
18:23Without warning, it felt as if an invisible claw had just plunged into his chest and ripped
18:28it open.
18:29The bond snapped.
18:30He crashed to his knees.
18:32His hands desperately clawed at his own chest, his nails digging so deep into his own flesh
18:36that blood poured out over his shirt.
18:38A primal, guttural roar of pure agony exploded from his throat.
18:43But, Cassandra shoved through the panicked crowd.
18:46Brother!
18:47What's wrong?
18:49Dominic convulsed on the marble floor, his claws scraping sickeningly against the stone.
18:53Selina.
18:54She's dead.
18:56The bond just broke.
18:58She's dead.
18:59Cassandra's face drained of color for a split second, but only a second.
19:02Brother!
19:03Calm down!
19:04She was always going to-
19:06Get the fuck away from me!
19:07Dominic backhanded her so hard she went backward, crashing violently into the altar pillars.
19:12He scrambled to his feet, stumbling and sprinting wildly out of the temple.
19:16The dungeon was empty.
19:18There was nothing left but a massive coagulated pool of blood and a soaked pile of straw, and
19:23the rapidly fading scent of Selene lingering in the damp air.
19:26Dominic stood frozen in the center of the blood pool.
19:29He stood there for a very, very long time.
19:31Long enough for Cassandra to finally creep into the room and gingerly touch his arm.
19:37Brother!
19:40You locked her in here?
19:43I just told her to wait!
19:45Wait for what?
19:47Wait to die?
19:49Those were two lives!
19:51My mate!
19:52My pup!
19:53Cassandra took a step back.
19:54But she was having a girl!
19:56She was useless to the pack!
19:58The sharp crack of flesh meeting flesh echoed through the dungeon.
20:02Cassandra's head whipped to the side, a bright red handprint instantly welling up on her cheek.
20:07She clutched her face, staring at Dominic in total disbelief.
20:11Dominic glared at her.
20:12If I had been by her side, she wouldn't have died!
20:15If you hadn't taken all the medical supplies, she wouldn't have died!
20:20If I hadn't ordered them to inject her with wolf bed!
20:23He couldn't finish the sentence.
20:25Because the subject of that sentence was pre-syndrome, from start to finish, he made every single decision.
20:31Cassandra was just the executioner, the person who murdered Selene and their child as him.
20:35I spent the next few weeks recovering in the Shadowfang estate.
20:38My body healed agonizingly slowly.
20:40The wolf's vein residue severely crippled my cellular regeneration, and the pack doctor estimated it would take three months to
20:46completely purge it from my system.
20:48But I wasn't in a hurry.
20:49I had all the time in the world.
20:51My father ate with me and walked with me every day, treating me exactly like he did when I was
20:55a little girl.
20:56He never brought up the blackwoods, but I knew his intelligence network never stopped spinning.
21:02Shadowfang's eyes and ears were buried in every major pack in North America.
21:05That was the terrifying power of an ancient bloodline.
21:08Every meeting, every decision.
21:10Every hushed conversation the blackwoods had was transcribed and placed on my desk.
21:15Dominic had brought my corpse, a flawlessly forged illusion, created by the soul-severing ritual back to the blackwood manor.
21:22He didn't place the casket in the main hall.
21:24It was shoved into a side morning room.
