21:32i am not ready for this
21:33mr president
21:34every major media outlet will be at that dinner
21:36announcing a surrogate as your girlfriend out of nowhere is reckless

25:38they say they're looking for their mother
25:40i wasn't sure how to handle it because the person they're looking for i didn't dare stop them
25:46my babies
25:52i stared wide-eyed frozen in fear
25:54father alpha heart had pupils glowing like molten fire
25:59bearing his fangs as he lunged at his brother damien
26:03only fierce snars filled the air
26:05this was a cruel fight for the alpha throne
26:08and the silver moonlight had long been stained red
26:12their powers collided
26:14a shockwave ripped through the trees
26:16damien's body fly backwards slammed into a boulder
26:20and slided down
26:21and slided down unconscious
26:22my father stumbled he dropped to one knee gasping
26:27blood poured from deep wounds across his chest and arms
26:32daddy
26:36then i stumbled out of the bushes
26:39and fell into my father's arms
26:41he was weak
26:43stroked my hair
26:45don't cry my little moon
26:47for the pack's peace
26:49this is worth it
26:51from now on
26:52hide your name
26:54go with beta coal
26:56he'll protect you
26:57he gently pushed me away
26:59beta coal lifted me
27:01i cried out for my father
27:04no daddy
27:06alpha heart smiled
27:08eyes closed
27:09a silver light emanated from his body
27:12flooding the forest
27:13my dad's last strength becomes a barrier to protect our pack and me
27:18thus my wolf will stay sealed until 16
27:22later i came to the coal family
27:24they treated me like their own
27:26especially adrian
27:27on that day sunlight glinted through the trees
27:30beta coal carried me from the car
27:32at the gate adrian

27:35ran towards us
27:36he was gentle

29:22adrian was impatient
29:23as lila shot me a look

29:26a smirk curled her lips
29:27then she draped herself
29:29around adrian's neck

30:07my eyes fluttered closed
30:10when i woke up again
30:12i slowly opened my eyes
30:14an iv drip ran into my arm
30:16then adrian rushed into the room in a panic
30:19adrian still cares about me
30:21i thought
30:22i sit up slightly
30:23warmth flickered in my chest
30:25adrian had already at my bedside
30:26his eyes burned with rage

30:41as the needle ripped out of my arm
30:43the ivy tube whipped through the air
30:45blood beaded instantly on my skin
30:48i stumbled and fall to my knees in pain
30:51a streak of red ran down my arm
30:53adrian's anger cracked just for a moment

33:44adrian froze
33:45a few seconds of silence
33:47he stepped closer

33:50his voice raw with anger
33:52and something else

34:32but my eyes
34:33unwavering

34:37i will be able to heal myself
34:39suddenly
34:40sharp giggles from outside
34:41followed by the click of heels on the floor
34:44lyra appeared in the doorway with two followers
34:46each step slow and deliberate
34:48well well
34:49look who's finally showing up
34:51bastard
34:52just a useless waste
34:53one of the girl mocked
34:55the three girls closed in
34:56backed me into a corner by the lockers
34:58my back hit the wall
34:59my expression stayed calm
35:01but my shoulder tense slightly
35:03another girl yanked my backpack
35:07look at those shoes
35:09they are screaming for help
35:11too bad you can't
35:12they tugged at my uniform
35:14the fabric tears
35:16exposed my shoulder
35:17lyra stepped closer
35:19smirk still in place
35:21she pulled a pen from her pocket
35:23clicked it
35:24and moved in
35:25bitch
35:25i'm gonna give you back everything i suffered last night
35:29every
35:29bit of it
35:31then
35:32she jabbed the pen tip into my shoulder
35:34suddenly
35:35the silver mark on my wrist began to glow
35:38the air ripples
35:40locker doors rattled gently
35:42books slid off shelves
35:44a pulse of energy blasted outward
35:46the girls stumbled back
35:48crashed into the lockers
35:49shrieked
35:50lyra doubled over
35:51then looked up in terror
35:53i stepped forward slowly
35:54calmly
35:55i reached out and gripped lyra's chin
35:58from now on
36:00no one touches me without permission
36:03especially you lyra
36:06lyra shoved my hand away
36:08trembled
36:09suddenly adrian bursted in
36:11throat himself between lyra and i
36:13stay back selene
36:14what the hell are you doing
36:18see
36:19she's doing it again

36:29it's always you isn't it
36:30stirring up trouble wherever you go
36:34i inhaled slowly
36:35a cold bitter smile tugged at my lips
36:38i shook my head
36:40how could i ever

36:53my hands clenched into fists
36:55my eyes reddened
36:56i trembled but not from fear
36:58lyra's father was a traitor
36:59he tried to take the alpha position
37:01my father fought him to save the pack
37:04but i can't tell anyone
37:05who'd believe me
37:06i took a deep breath
37:07i moved to leave

37:14impossible
37:15adrian's browed titans
37:16he stepped closer
37:17voice dropped to a low threat
37:19i don't beat girls

37:24you cannot bear that responsibility
37:25i raised my arm

37:39she did this
37:40she tortures me all the years

38:12then still
38:14i rested against him
38:15my expression unreadable
38:17lyra watched from the side
38:19jealousy twisted her face
38:23rage burns in her eyes

38:27i'm not done with you
38:29i was lying on a bed
38:30an iv dripped in my arm

38:36i pulled away
38:38he took it again
38:39the fluid's cold
38:40let me warm your hand
38:41i turned my head away

38:44a single tear fell
38:48adrian's phone rang
38:49he stood
38:50gently touched my forehead

38:52his voice soft
38:53he left

39:03lyra

39:05lyra's smile widened
39:07she moved closer
39:08her fingers hovered over the iv line

39:13daring
39:13my breath quickened

39:16eyes wary
39:17lyra yanked the needle
39:18out of my arm

39:21in one swift move
39:23lyra plunged the needle
39:25into her own chest
39:26blood seeped through her shirt
39:28her face twisted in pain
39:29but there's a sick satisfaction
39:31in her eyes
39:32the door burst open
39:33adrian stormed in

42:31electricity crackled along my arm
42:35the light
42:36above my bursts
42:37i cried out
42:38eyes glowed
42:39at this time
42:40a figure emerged from the rain
42:41adrian checked his watch
42:4311 55 pm
42:45he pulled out a small velvet box
42:47opened it
42:47a diamond pendant glowed inside
42:49five more minutes
42:51until i can finally say it
42:53he thought
42:54bells began to chime
42:56midnight
42:57adrian reached for lyra's mask
42:59and lifted it
43:00light hit her face
43:01lyra?
43:04the knight leaned close to my neck
43:06his eyes glowed red gradually
43:08his brows furrowed
43:10as if he was enduring something
43:11his lips brushed against my skin
43:13his voice was low and roughed
43:15you shouldn't be alone tonight
43:17the hard burge beneath his crotch
43:19pressed tightly against my bare skin
43:21as knight let out a low, raggled breath
43:24he took hold of my wrist
43:25the one bearing the mark
43:27and gently stroked it
43:28to my left breast
43:29our wrist marks ignited
43:31in an instant
43:32heat exploded up my arm
43:34i let out a startled cry
43:36my eyes flew wide open
43:38a strange silver light flickered within them
43:40i clenched my legs tightly
43:41trembled uncontrollably
43:43a vacious liquid dampened my panties
43:45trickled slowly down my thighs
43:47the silver and red light erupted from their marks
43:49twisted and coiled together
43:50i can taste your smell
43:52you're completely mine now
43:54knight hay-hailed sharply against my neck
43:56when the light faded
43:58i was shaking in his arms
44:00what did you do to me
44:02you're wet because you chose me
44:05you claimed me
44:06and i claimed you

44:17i was lost in passion
44:19my breath stuttered
44:21knight guided my hand down to my inner thigh
44:24brushed it through my slip arousal
44:27then lifted it to his lips
44:29and gently licked my fingers
44:33adrian stared at lyra
44:35the mask in his hand
44:36his face crumbled
44:39where's selena
44:40he asked
44:41lyra reached for him
44:43panic flashed across her face
44:45he pulled back
44:46he turned and burst through the doors

45:14but the tail lights were already disappearing
45:17he leaped off the bike
45:18and ran after them
45:19but we were gone

47:02concern flickered in his eyes
47:04he stopped me
47:05he released me and stood
47:07a servant approached with a small plate
47:09cream cake
47:10knight took it and lowered himself to one knee in front of me between my thighs
47:14kids heal faster with sugar

47:18my face flushed
47:19he cut a piece and held the fork to my lips
47:22i hesitated
47:23then leaned forward and took the bite
47:25as the fork slide out a smear of cream lingered at the corner of my mouth

49:01adrian turned and walked out of the room
49:03the day was coming
49:05thousands of wolves packed the stands
49:07their voices rose in a deafening roar
49:08look at her
49:10the human luna
49:11a wolf shouted

49:19his jaw tightened as he watched me step into the ring alone
49:22i faced my opponent
49:23a massive wolf twice my size
49:26muscles coiling under scarred fur
49:28he circled me hungry
49:30i raised my fists
49:31he lunged

49:48blood pooled beneath me
49:50night took a step forward
49:51the high priest blocked him
49:53you interfere

49:57night's hands gripped the railing
49:59his knuckles went white

50:03then my feet
50:04one inch at a time
50:05my legs shook
50:07but i stood
50:08the wolf charged for the final blow
50:10then a sound tore from my chest
50:12not human
50:13something ancient
50:15a howl that shook the arena
50:16white light exploded outward
50:19blinding
50:19the wolf skidded to a halt
50:21whimpered
50:22when the light faded
50:23a massive white wolf stood in the ring
50:25fur was like snow
50:27eyes were like burning silver
50:29the opponent snarled and lunged
50:31the white wolf moved faster than anything alive
50:34jaws closed on the attacker's throat
50:36a single shake
50:37he flew across the arena
50:39and lay still
50:40white wolf
50:41that's royal blood
50:43an elder wolf said with voice trembling
50:45one by one
50:47the wolves lowered themselves

50:51then all wolves charged

51:01night descended into the ring
51:02he walked to me
51:03took my hand and lifted it high
51:06for everyone to see
51:07a motorcycle ripped through the arena gates
51:09adrian jumped off and stubbled toward me
51:12his face pale
51:13serene

52:14wolf warrior leaned forward
52:15knight's eyes narrowed

52:40knight's jaw sightened
52:42then slowly relaxed
52:43he walked toward me
52:44one step
52:46then another
52:46adrian stood frozen

52:57without hesitation
52:58knight kissed me
52:59acclaim
53:00and alpha marked his territory
53:02i trembled
53:03but didn't pull away
53:04my fingers gripped his shirt
53:06a low growl rippled through the wolves
53:08shocked and submission tangled together
53:10adrian stumbled back
53:12like he had been struck by lightning
53:13disbelief written all over his face
53:16knight broke the kiss
53:17his voice was calm
53:20she's my mate
53:21you can't take her
53:22i turned to adrian
53:24adrian

53:49the assassin leader nodded
53:51selene
53:51the human girl

53:55lyra lifted my head
53:56a strange satisfaction gleamed in my eyes
53:59she's not human
54:00she's alpha heart's daughter
54:02my father died by his hands
54:04i've waited years for this
54:07she paused

54:19adrian walked toward his motorcycle
54:22i'll send you to the edge of town
54:24you're still my brother
54:25adrian froze for a moment
54:26watched me walk toward him
54:28a bitter smile crossed his face
54:31from now on
54:32let me protect you from the shadows
54:35the motorcycle rode along the forest path
54:37an arrow whistled past my arm
54:39black clowed figures emerged from the trees
54:42adrian jumped off the motorcycle with me in his arms
54:46a blade sliced toward me
54:47he threw himself in front of it
54:50the steel bit into his side
54:51run
54:52he conropst
54:54bones cracked
54:55fur ripped through skin
54:57a massive wolf now stood between the assassins and me
55:00he launched
55:01tore into them
55:02and fought like something feral
55:04knight's hand gripped his chest
55:06the mat marked burns
55:08selene
55:09he was already moving
55:10adrian fought on
55:12wounded
55:12three assassins circled him
55:14a force aimed at me
55:15a blur of motion
55:17knight's blade took the assassin down
55:19his warriors descended
55:20the fight ended in seconds
55:22knight pulled me against him
55:24are you hurt?
55:26i shook my head
55:27looked past him at adrian
55:28bleeding
55:28human again
55:29on his knees
55:30knight followed my gaze
55:32saw the markings on the dead assassins
55:34lyra's work
55:36my face paled
55:37adrian struggled to stand
55:39she wants you dead
55:41i know
55:42this day finally came
55:46lyra stared into the fire
55:48flamed flicker
55:49then twist
55:50lyra's face went pale
55:52her hands clenched
55:54the door bruised open
55:55i stood in the doorway
55:57a faint silver glow radiating from me
55:59adrian and knight flanked me
56:01lyra stumbled back
56:02surprised to see me
56:04i laughed coldly
56:06lyra's eyes darted
56:07calculating
56:08desperate
56:09she opened her mouth to whimper
56:11to play the victim
56:12what are you going to do to me?
56:14adrian
56:15help me
56:16don't play victim

56:21he died a traitor
56:22and you

56:26adrian looked at lyra coldly
56:27you liar
56:28the dress
56:30the needle
56:31it was all you
56:32lyra's mask cracked
56:34her eyes went cold
56:35you think i'd let her take everything?
56:38my father died because of her father
56:40her body convulsed
56:42bones cracked
56:43fur ripped through skin
56:44a dark wolf lunged at me
56:46jaws wide
56:47knight stepped forward
56:49my hand stopped him
56:50fine
56:51my body convulsed
56:53silver light exploded
56:54in seconds
56:55a massive white wolf stood in my place
56:57the two wolves collided
56:59teeth teared
57:00crawls slacked
57:01they moved in a blur of fur and blood
57:04the white wolf gained the upper hand
57:05jaws closed around the other's throat
57:07one snap
57:08silence
57:09the dark wolf crumpled
57:11shimmered
57:13lyra lied still
57:14human again
57:15then she becomes ashes
57:17light shimmered around me
57:18i transformed into human again
57:21i straightened and walked toward the door without looking back
57:24it's over
57:27sunlight streams through towering windows
57:29the hall was packed
57:31wolves stood shoulder by shoulder
57:33i stood at the center
57:34dressed in silver and white
57:38i looked regal
57:39beta cole and adrian watched from the front row
57:42eyes glistening
57:43night descended from the throne
57:45in his hands a crown
57:47delicate silver
57:48caught light like frozen stars
57:51i was born ready
57:54i smiled
57:56i was born ready
57:57he placed the crown on my head
57:59then took my hand and lifted it to his lips
58:01kissy knuckles once
58:02slow
58:03deliberate
58:03reverent
58:04the hall erupted
58:06howls
58:06tweers
58:07stomping feet
58:08then all loudly
58:12i looked at night
58:13he was already looking at me
58:15i smiled
58:16mountains rise in the distance
58:18moonlight pours down like liquid silver
58:21two wolves streak across the valley
58:23one white is me
58:24one black is night
58:26i leap
58:27tacking the dark one mid-stride
58:28we tumble together down a grassy slope
58:30a tangle of fur and limbs
58:32until we roll to a stop at the bottom
58:34then fur gives way to skin
58:36pamping gives way to breathing
58:38ragged
58:38human
58:39close
58:40we lie tangled together at the base of the slope
58:42no longer wolves
58:44my hair spills across his arm
58:45he lowers his head with a soft smile
58:49take me tonight night
58:51his mouth finds mine
58:53slow at first
58:54then deeper
58:55my fingers slide into his hair
58:57his hand traces down my side
58:59over my hip
59:00pulling me closer
59:01every night
59:02for the rest of my life
59:04the moonlight spills over us
59:06my head fall back
59:07his lips find my throat
59:09a soft sound escapes me
59:11our two figures move together in the silver light
59:14skin against skin
59:15nothing between us now
59:17the mountains keep watching us
59:18you
59:19you
