00:00I'm Selene, Onalai daughter of the High Alpha, Pride of the Silver Crest Pack, and I have a secret.
00:06Since my first shift, I can hear the memories locked inside our sacred silver relics.
00:11There is grease on the Sword Hill.
00:14I have walked. I have also walked, also walked.
00:18It's less a gift and more a never-ending howl I've learned to tune out.
00:22But today, I came to hear my own binding gift.
00:25The silver-binding totem, a six-foot urn forged over an entire year, stood at the center of the Great
00:31Forge.
00:32Waves of heat shimmered off the stone floor.
00:35The forge itself crouched like a sleeping beast.
00:38My fiancé, Lead Warrior Silas, was supposed to be at the packhouse preparing for our lunar ceremony.
00:43We were the perfect pair.
00:45Border War hero.
00:47Handsome.
00:47Always deferential to my rank.
00:49My father called him a gift from the moon herself.
00:52My mother said I'd never do better.
00:54Even the relics in my bedroom sang his name.
00:57His eyes shine like the North Star whenever he looks at you.
01:00His touch makes my strings weep with joy.
01:03I used to believe that.
01:05I used to think my life would be a smooth, golden road.
01:08The Forgemaster and his smiths dropped to their knees as I approached.
01:12I waved them off and stepped toward the totem.
01:14The carvings were breathtaking.
01:15Wolves racing through moonlit forests, every line precise and sacred.
01:19This was the symbol of our union.
01:21The pride of our pack.
01:22I reached out, fingers brushing the cold, hammered silver.
01:26The moment I touched it...
01:28Don't touch me!
01:28Don't touch me!
01:30It's filthy!
01:31I'm tainted!
01:36I froze.
01:37That wasn't pride.
01:38That wasn't joy.
01:39That was the sound of something desecrated.
01:41I frowned, focusing my wolf's intent to soothe the silver and deepen the connection.
01:47Selina, you need to leave.
01:49It's disgusting in here.
01:50My stomach dropped.
01:51The totem was hollow, wide-mouthed for the final smelting pore.
01:55A grown man could fit inside.
01:57What's in there?
01:58I asked through the connection.
02:00It's the warrior.
02:01It's Silamus.
02:03He's inside me right now.
02:06And he brought a woman.
02:11The world cracked open.
02:13Every sweet memory of faded love turned into a grotesque joke.
02:18They think they're safe here, that the heat hides their sense.
02:21She's crying, apologizing to you, but Silamus keeps telling her to be louder.
02:25He said you know nothing, that you're just like this vessel, prestigious on the outside,
02:29hollow on the inside, waiting for him to fill you with his ambition!
02:33It's sickening.
02:34How could he say that to his Luna?
02:36How does he dare?
02:38Ah!
02:39More filth is dripping.
02:40I'm so dirty!
02:41When will they leave?
02:43I want the forge lit right now.
02:44Let the fire turn them to ash.
02:46Let's see if they're as hot as the molten silver.
02:49So that was it.
02:50The perfect match.
02:51The faded love.
02:53All of it.
02:54A calculated hunt.
02:58Every tender moment he'd ever given me was a performance.
03:00He was basking in the glory I provided while rutting with his true heart's desire,
03:04inside the very gift meant to bless our bond.
03:07I didn't need to guess who she was.
03:09Liana.
03:09His fragile childhood friend.
03:11The Omega who always dropped her eyes when I passed.
03:14Whatever the Alpha's daughter decided.
03:17What a dutiful Omega.
03:18A cold numbness crawled from my fingertips straight to my heart.
03:23My blood turned to ice.
03:25My limbs locked.
03:26The sounds of the forge dissolved.
03:28She's begging him to take her as a second mate after the ceremony.
03:32Silas just laughed and promised he would.
03:35He said, you get the title, but she gets his soul.
03:42So what was I?
03:43A ladder for his climbed Alpha?
03:44An expensive ornament for his mantle?
03:47I slowly, very slowly, pulled my hand back.
03:50I looked at the massive vessel, the monument to my own stupidity.
03:53And I understood.
03:54The totem was right.
03:55It was time to light the fire.
03:57I turned to the forge master who was watching me nervously.
04:00Is something wrong with the silver, my lady?
04:03No, it's magnificent.
04:04I'm so pleased.
04:06I won't wait for the lunar peak.
04:08Ignite the great forge now.
04:10I want to strike the spark myself to ensure our union is blessed by the flame.
04:18My lady, this is impossible.
04:20The lunar alignment was calculated by Elder Malayli himself.
04:23Night after night.
04:25Reading the stars, it ensures the totem is perfected.
04:28It brings harmony to your union with the warrior.
04:30To ignite it now, it could offend the ancestors.
04:33It is against Pac-Law.
04:34It is a dark omen.
04:35Against Pac-Law?
04:36A dark omen?
04:38Master Barrett?
04:39Are you questioning my devotion to my own mate?
04:42Never, my lady.
04:44Never.
04:44I stand here, looking at this masterpiece, and my heart is full.
04:50They say sincerity moves the moon.
04:53Is my sincerity not worth more than a line on a chart?
04:57Or do you believe my bloodline is too weak to command a single forge fire?
05:02Forgive me, my lady.
05:03I meant nothing.
05:04Then do as I say.
05:05I will see it enter the flames today.
05:08I will strike the spark myself.
05:13I will forge the blessing for my eternal union with the warrior.
05:20If there is a curse, I'll carry it alone.
05:24If it succeeds, every man here will be rewarded in silver.
05:32I obey, my lady.
05:54I obey, my lady.
05:58Together.
05:59Forever.
06:02Stop!
06:04Stop!
06:05Everyone stop this instant!
06:07My lady, you cannot.
06:11You absolutely cannot do this!
06:13Elder Malachon, you seem distressed.
06:16What brings you to the forge so urgently?
06:18My lady, I came to stop this madness.
06:21This vessel carries the pack's future, your bloodline's prosperity.
06:25Its timing was calculated against your birth moon and the warrior's own stars are delicate balance.
06:29The silver will crack, or worse, if it plants misfortune in your union.
06:33A rot that spreads through the entire pack from within.
06:36And even if you manage to red yourself a bit, the conquences of that union are already set in motion.
06:41My lady, the Elder is right. Please, think of the pack.
06:49Elder, tell me, does your prophecy value the hour of the clock, or the truth of the heart?
06:56Prophecy is the intersection of both, my lady. One cannot exist without the other.
07:01Well said. Then let me ask you this.
07:03If the sacred silver were already filled with something filthy,
07:06should I wait for your blessing and let that rot bleed into our lineage,
07:10or should I act now, and let the holy fire purge it?
07:18Malachi's hand slid off his staff. His fingers trembled against the wood.
07:22He looked into my eyes, and whatever he found, there was no longer the pampered Alpha's daughter he'd known since
07:27birth.
07:28He looked at the half-sealed forge, then back at me, his mouth opened, closed.
07:33He was the pack's spiritual voice, but even he knew a true blood's rage was a force the ancestors themselves
07:38stepped back.
07:39My lady, if the silver is truly tainted, then the fire is the only way.
07:46He stepped back, white robes rippling in the rising heat, head bowed in submission.
07:52The smiths saw their last shield for tradition disappear.
07:56They didn't hesitate.
07:57They heaved the final stones into place and sealed the great forge's mouth with thick, wet clay,
08:02darkness that could only end one way.
08:04Inside, the echo gave one last sound, a low, chilling giggle.
08:09They're awake now. They know the door is gone. Oh, they're scratching at my ribs!
08:14I didn't blink. I reached for the ceremonial torch.
08:17The torch was heavy, its tips soaked in oils that smelled of pine resin and ancient magic.
08:22I raised it. The orange light danced in my eyes.
08:25Burn it all down, she whispered. Burn the lies. Burn the traitors. Burn the bitch who thought she could steal
08:31the Alpha Crown.
08:31I stepped forward. The heat was already bleeding through the stone walls.
08:35My hand was perfectly steady as I lowered the flame to the ignition vent at the base of the forge.
08:39For the glory of the silver crest pack.
08:42My voice rang out clean and clear for every smith and elder present.
08:46May this fire refine our future and consume every shadow that dares to linger in the dark.
08:52The flame touched the fuel.
08:53A dull thump rolled up from deep inside the forge, the fire catching, or maybe a kick against the silver
08:59walls.
08:59Then the roar began. The great forge bellowed as heat surged upward, wrapping around the totem like something hungry.
09:05The echo screamed one final time. Pure, ecstatic agony.
09:09It's hot! It's so wonderfully hot! I can feel them melting into me!
09:15Sacred silver doesn't smelt fast.
09:17Three days. Three nights. Unrelenting heat.
09:20I didn't leave. I had a chair brought to the forge floor and I sat there, silent, draped in fur,
09:24watching every shift of every smith.
09:26By the second day, word had spread through the pack.
09:28Lead warrior Silas had gone missing just before the ceremony.
09:32Panic rippled through the ranks.
09:33I played the grieving, frantic mate without a single missed beat.
09:37When my father, the high alpha, arrived demanding answers, I turned to him with tear-filled eyes.
09:42Silas told me he wanted our bond to be the strongest the pack had ever seen.
09:45I felt a dark omen, father.
09:47I had to start the forge early, to pray for him, to protect him through the holy fire.
09:50My father sat beside me for over an hour, moved by my devotion.
09:54He had no idea the man he was searching for was currently becoming ash and slag inside the fire we
10:00were watching together.
10:01Liana's disappearance was noted too, but she was an omega.
10:04Her flight was dismissed as cowardice.
10:06No one looked twice.
10:07On the third night, the roar of the forge softened to a low, melodic hum.
10:11The silver was ready.
10:16Selina!
10:18Put that down.
10:20Put it down right now, Selene.
10:22What in the ancestor's name are you doing?
10:25You've left the packhouse.
10:26You've overrode in the ceremony calendar.
10:28You've threatened the forge master and sent Elder Malazza into a cold sweat.
10:32This is your binding ceremony, and you're standing here with a torch like some...
10:35Mother!
10:36I know what I'm doing.
10:38Do you?
10:38Because from where I'm standing, you look like a girl throwing a tantrum the night before the most important moment
10:43of her life.
10:44Selena.
10:45Did you and Silas argue?
10:47Is that what this is?
10:48That's normal.
10:49Every mated pair has friction before the ceremony.
10:51You have to be patient.
10:53Gracious.
10:54You're about to become his lunatic.
10:57Gracious.
11:06Mother, you raised me to carry the pack's honor.
11:09To be something the whole territory could look up to.
11:12I've always tried to do that.
11:14But there is something filthy in there right now.
11:17Something that has been rubbing itself all over the symbol of my future bond.
11:22If I leave it, if I wait for the blessed hour and let the holy fire seal that filth into
11:27our union, what does that make me?
11:34What... what exactly are you...
11:36I can't say it out loud.
11:38Because if I do, it stops being my problem and becomes the pack's problem.
11:42And I know how much you love this pack, Mother.
11:49Then another.
11:50Her eyes went from me, to the forge, to the torch in my hand, and back again.
11:54For a long moment, she said nothing.
11:55Selima.
11:57How long have you known?
12:00Long enough.
12:01She closed her eyes.
12:02I watched her make the choice.
12:05You are the High Alpha's daughter.
12:07Whatever you do, make sure you can live with the consequence.
12:12And make sure it doesn't embarrass this family.
12:14She didn't look at the forge again.
12:16Return to the pack house.
12:19The last soft thing in my chest went with her.
12:22Good.
12:22I turned back to the forge.
12:29There was nothing left in my way.
12:31No elder, no forge master, no mother.
12:33Just me, the torch, and the sealed mouth of the great forge.
12:36The totem's echo had gone quiet, not frightened, waiting, coiled and ready,
12:40the way a wolf waits before a strike.
12:42I walked to the ignition vent.
12:43The heat rolled off the stone in waves.
12:45Do it, my wolf said.
12:48Burn the lie.
12:49All of it.
12:52I raised the torch.
12:53I threw the torch.
12:54It caught, instantly, a crack of sound,
12:56then the low whomp of fuel igniting deep in the stone belly of the forge.
13:00Then the roar, the great forge, came alive.
13:05With a sound like the world splitting open.
13:07Heat punched through the vent and across my face.
13:10Inside, the totem sent me one last burst of feeling.
13:13Not words, just pure, ecstatic relief.
13:15Like something finally, finally clean.
13:17Add fuel.
13:19Continually.
13:20Maximum heat.
13:22Seven days and seven nights.
13:25Don't let it drop.
13:26Not once.
13:27I looked at Master Barrett.
13:29He bowed without a word.
13:31I took a chair and sat six feet from the forge mouth.
13:34And I watched.
13:37Seven days.
13:38I didn't leave the forge yard.
13:40I slept in a tent erected thirty feet from the kiln.
13:42I ate what the smiths brought me.
13:43The fire never dropped below White Hot.
13:45By the second day,
13:46the disappearances had reached every corner of the territory.
13:49Lead warrior Silas, gone.
13:51Vanished the mourning of his own binding ceremony.
13:53Not a trace.
13:54Liana, gone too.
13:55The quiet Omega who'd always kept her eyes down.
13:58Fled in shame, people said.
13:59Too cowardly to face the fallout of her Alpha's abandonment.
14:02The gossip twisted itself into a dozen shapes.
14:04The most popular version,
14:05they'd run away together.
14:06Couldn't bear to be separated.
14:08Silas' family turned the territory upside down.
14:10Search parties.
14:11Desperate favors called in.
14:13Nothing.
14:16When my father, the High Alpha,
14:18rode out to the forge on the third day,
14:20I met him with red-rimmed eyes and a trembling lower lip.
14:22He told me he wanted our bond to be the strongest in our Pax history.
14:27I felt something wrong in the stars, Father.
14:30I had to start the fire.
14:32I had to pray for him.
14:33My father put his arm around me and stayed for an hour.
14:35He had no idea the man he was searching for was forty feet away,
14:38becoming slag inside the silver we were watching together.
14:41On the seventh night,
14:42the roar faded to a low, even hum.
14:43I stood up.
14:44Open it!
14:47Barret ordered cold water,
14:48poured over the forge walls.
14:50Steam screamed upward in great white columns.
14:52Bricks cracked and popped in the sudden chill.
14:54When the smiths began pulling the sealed stones away,
14:56every person on that yard held their breath.
14:58The outer bricks came down,
15:00then the inner layer,
15:01then the clay.
15:01A smell rolled out.
15:02Something between hot earth,
15:04metal,
15:04and something else.
15:05Something no one commented on.
15:06Two of the most experienced smiths went in.
15:08They came back out,
15:09carrying a platform between them,
15:10and on it,
15:11the binding totem.
15:12Intact.
15:13It hadn't cracked,
15:14hadn't warped.
15:14It had survived seven days of white-hot,
15:17continuous heat,
15:18without a single fracture.
15:19But it was transformed.
15:20The raw silver-gray of the unfired metal was gone entirely.
15:23In its place,
15:24a deep,
15:25saturated crimson,
15:26rich as old blood,
15:27warm as a dying ember.
15:28The glaze was perfect,
15:30mirror smooth.
15:31The carved wolves on its surface
15:32caught the morning light
15:33and threw it back in long,
15:35shimmering streaks.
15:36It was,
15:37without question,
15:37the most beautiful thing
15:38anyone in that yard had ever seen.
15:40The ancestors blessed it.
15:42One of them whispered,
15:43they blessed it after all.
15:45I walked toward it slowly.
15:46I stopped two feet away.
15:48I looked at it for a long moment.
15:49Are they still in there?
15:50A warmth pressed back against my mind,
15:53quiet and settled,
15:54content.
15:54Yes,
15:55good.
15:58Silas's father,
15:59the old warrior lord,
16:00with three of his sons.
16:01Liana's mother,
16:02with her brother,
16:03both clutching each other.
16:04The territory sheriff trailing behind them.
16:05face pale
16:06and professionally blank.
16:07They'd heard the forge had opened.
16:09They'd come on the chance
16:10that someone here
16:10had seen something.
16:11When they spotted me
16:12standing next to the totem,
16:13her eyes had dropped
16:14to the base of the totem.
16:15She went still.
16:18Her voice came out strange.
16:20She stepped closer.
16:21Her hand went to her mouth.
16:23That's Liana's moonstone.
16:25She never took it off.
16:28I gave it to her
16:29the day she presented...
16:36Silas's father moved to the other side.
16:38His face went the color of chalk.
16:40On the totem's flank,
16:41half-merged into the glaze,
16:43was the ghost of a warrior's seal,
16:45the kind every packfighter carried
16:47as their mark.
16:48Then he looked at me.
16:52Silas told me once
16:54that he wanted a bond
16:56that could survive anything.
16:58That he wanted something
16:59that would last forever.
17:03My father summoned me
17:05three days later,
17:06not to the Great Hall,
17:07not in front of the elders,
17:08to his private study.
17:09He was seated when I arrived.
17:10He looked at me
17:11for a very long time
17:11without speaking.
17:13Savine.
17:16Do you admit fault?
17:20I admit I chose
17:22the wrong mate.
17:23I nearly brought shame
17:24onto this bloodline.
17:26And?
17:28I admit I didn't act sooner.
17:31That's all you admit?
17:33Yes.
17:40You have more spine
17:42than both your brothers combined.
17:44He rose from his chair
17:45and walked to me.
17:46He put his hand on my shoulder
17:47and lifted me to my feet,
17:49something I hadn't expected.
17:50Here is what happened.
17:52Silas and the Omega Lyanna
17:53fled the pack together,
17:54unable to face the shame
17:56of their betrayal.
17:57Their whereabouts are unknown.
17:59The one forged for your ceremony
18:01was successfully completed
18:02as a testament to your devotion.
18:05It will be called
18:06the Ember Throne.
18:07It will be placed in your hall.
18:09You will look at it every day.
18:10As I turned to go,
18:11I heard him exhale,
18:13slow and long,
18:14like a man setting down
18:15something very heavy.
18:23The Ember Throne
18:24arrived at my quarters.
18:26It took six wolves to carry it.
18:27They set it at the far end
18:28of my main hall,
18:29the first thing you saw
18:30when you walked in,
18:31the last thing you saw
18:32when you left.
18:33It was still that deep,
18:35saturated crimson,
18:36still mirror smooth,
18:37still beautiful.
18:38I stood in front of it
18:39for a long time
18:40after the carriers had gone.
18:42I waited for the echo.
18:43There was nothing.
18:45I reached out.
18:46My fingers stopped
18:46an inch from the surface.
18:48And I realized
18:49I didn't want to touch it.
18:50I lowered my hand.
18:51I stood back
18:51and looked at what I'd made.
18:53Every relic in my room,
18:54the mirror,
18:55the lyre,
18:55the blade on the wall,
18:56not out of fear,
18:57not out of grief,
18:58I just didn't need to,
19:00stayed silent.
19:01They had gone quiet
19:02sometime in the last seven days
19:03and not come back.
19:04The constant hum of voices
19:05I'd carried
19:06since my first shift.
19:07Gone,
19:08my world
19:08had never been so still.
