Short filmTranscript
00:01The rogues circle the stronghold like death itself.
00:05I watch the last child die, his intestines torn from his belly while he's still screaming.
00:10The warriors around me collapse.
00:12These are grown wolves.
00:14Battle-hardened males who've ripped throats and survived pack wars.
00:18Now they weep like cubs.
00:21Alphacade!
00:22Jacob's claws sink into Cade.
00:23He screams, exposing the alpha's delusion.
00:26That my warnings were just jealousy.
00:28That Lola's night was worth our slaughter.
00:31His voice snaps like bone.
00:34Why is my baby missing her face?
00:37Cade stands frozen.
00:38His golden alpha eyes are empty, hollow.
00:41I stare at the carnage and my heart shatters.
00:43I've lived this moment before.
00:45In my previous life the rogues attacked during Lola's birthday.
00:48My husband, the pack alpha, took every warrior to the ridge so his true love could watch the starfall ceremony.
00:55He said I was paranoid.
00:57Jealous.
00:58A bitter Luna who couldn't accept that he loved someone else.
01:02I begged them to return.
01:03I screamed through the mind link until my throat bled.
01:07They came back to corpses.
01:09But Lola wandered into the woods, sulking because Cade kept checking the mind link during her special night.
01:15The rogues found her, dragged her screaming into the darkness.
01:19By the time we arrived, nothing remained but her left femur.
01:23Cade held that bone for six hours.
01:26Didn't speak.
01:27Didn't shift.
01:28Didn't breathe.
01:29Then, the day I gave birth to our son, he severed my hands with silver.
01:34My feet next.
01:35He threw me into a rogue feeding pit and healed me.
01:38Over and over.
01:39Letting them tear chunks from my flesh while the mate Bond forced me to feel his hatred burning like acid
01:45through my chest.
01:47You killed her, so you must be suffering more than she was.
01:51I died on day seven.
01:53I woke on the day when the rogues launched the attack.
01:57The howling hits me first, not through the mind link that's filtered, controlled.
02:01This is raw.
02:03A thousand feral throats shrieking hunger across the mountains.
02:07I'm out of bed before conscious thought.
02:09My bare feet slap stone as I sprint toward the control room.
02:12The stronghold is three stories of timber and reinforced steel, built to withstand siege.
02:18I grab the mic, hands shaking.
02:21All pack members, this is Luna Selina.
02:24Massive rogue surge from the northern pass.
02:26Get to the panic room.
02:28Now!
02:29I slam the alarm.
02:31Red lights flood the corridors.
02:33Doors bang.
02:34Footsteps thunder.
02:35Outside, someone screams.
02:37I grab the emergency rifle, silver bullets, blessed by our shaman, and run.
02:42The courtyard is chaos.
02:44Mothers clutching cubs.
02:46Elders stumbling.
02:47The air reeks of fierce sweat, and the rot stench of rogues.
02:51Three crash through the east fence.
02:53They used to be wolves.
02:55Now they're things.
02:56Fur matted with dried blood and filth.
02:59Eyes milky white.
03:00Jaws unhinged, hanging at grotesque angles.
03:03They don't hunt for territory.
03:05The madness ate everything else.
03:07I fire.
03:08Silver tears through the first one's skull.
03:10It drops, convulsing.
03:12I scream at a frozen teenager.
03:14I shove him toward the panic room.
03:16A reinforced bunker built into the ground.
03:19Move!
03:20Get inside!
03:22More rogues pour through.
03:24I shoot until the clip runs dry, then shift.
03:27Bones crack.
03:29Fur erupts.
03:30My wolf is smaller than the males, but faster.
03:32I slam into a rogue mid-leap, jaws closing around its rotten throat.
03:38The taste is rancid decay.
03:40I rip and spit and move.
03:41Someone yanks a child from snapping teeth.
03:44Someone else seals the hatch.
03:46The heavy locks clang shut.
03:48Silence.
03:49I shift back, naked and trembling.
03:52Blood.
03:53Mine.
03:53Bears.
03:54Drips down my ribs.
03:55We're in the panic room.
03:57Concrete walls.
03:58Air filtration.
03:59Supplies for two weeks.
04:00But the wards are failing.
04:02I feel it.
04:03The electric hum that usually surrounds the stronghold is stuttering.
04:06Dying.
04:08Luna, you have to mind-link the Alpha.
04:11Mary, an Omega whose son is four, grabs my wrist.
04:14Her hands shake.
04:15Tell him to come back.
04:17Tell him to activate the wards.
04:19I close my eyes.
04:21The cruel truth breaks my heart.
04:23Yet I cannot lie.
04:24He can't.
04:26Alpha K took every warrior to Starfall Ridge.
04:29He's protecting Lola during the ceremony.
04:32Ceremony, are you serious?
04:33The room erupts.
04:35He left us just to die for some lights!
04:37She's not even his real mate!
04:39Bang.
04:40The steel door buckles.
04:41Metal shrieks.
04:42Bang.
04:43Another hit.
04:44These rogues are stronger.
04:46Evolved.
04:47We have minutes.
04:48I look at Elder Martha.
04:50Cade's mother.
04:51Former Luna.
04:5273 with silver hair and a wolf that can still kill.
04:55She meets my eyes.
04:57The silver wards.
04:58If we activate the backup grid, it'll fry everything within a hundred yards.
05:02Hope flickers across faces.
05:04Martha pulls out the Alpha emergency comm.
05:06Satellite link that bypasses mind link.
05:09She dials.
05:10The line clicks.
05:11Cade's voice is annoyed.
05:12Distracted.
05:13In the background, music.
05:15Laughter.
05:15Mom?
05:16Kinda busy.
05:17Martha's jaw clenches.
05:19Cade!
05:20The stronghold is under siege.
05:23Rogue surge!
05:24We're in the panic room.
05:26Wards are failing.
05:27Activate the silver grid.
05:28Now!
05:29Everyone holds their breath.
05:31Cade laughs.
05:33Mom?
05:33Seriously?
05:34The grid pulls power from the...
05:36We're thirty minutes from peak display.
05:38I can't shut it down.
05:39His tone shifts.
05:40Suspicious.
05:42Is Selina there?
05:43Did she put you up to this?
05:44Martha's hand shakes.
05:47Your Luna just saved twenty.
05:50My Luna is jealous.
05:51She's been pulling this for months.
05:54Lola's dangerous.
05:55Rogues are coming.
05:56It's pathetic.
05:58He scoffs.
05:59Tell Selina if she keeps trying to ruin Lola's night,
06:01there'll be consequences.
06:03I'm not falling for fake emergency bullshit.
06:06The line goes down.
06:07Mary's face drains white.
06:11He thinks we're lying.
06:12I...
06:13Samuel.
06:13Former beta.
06:15Slumps against the wall.
06:16We're going to die.
06:17For a light show.
06:19Service tunnel.
06:20Runs from here to the old mining roads.
06:23Then she looks at me.
06:24Her eyes burn.
06:25Six miles through rogue territory to silver plane base.
06:29They have warriors.
06:31You and I go.
06:32We shift and run.
06:34The door splits.
06:35A rotting claw shoves through.
06:38Claws scrape metal.
06:39A pup was frightened and he started crying.
06:42Martha doesn't flinch.
06:44We leave in 60 seconds.
06:46Barricade after we're gone.
06:47She doesn't finish the sentence.
06:49She doesn't have to.
06:50I nod.
06:51Because if we don't make it, everyone here dies.
06:54Hope flickers in my chest as Martha speaks.
06:57Wait for me.
06:58She says, slipping through the side door.
07:00One hour later, the panic room door tears open.
07:03A rotting arm reaches through, grabbing for the baby in Mary's arms.
07:07The infant's cry cuts off mid-screen.
07:10The mother collapses.
07:11Her eyes go empty.
07:12Despair floods the room.
07:14Then a figure rushes through the side entrance.
07:16Martha.
07:18Did you bring the warriors back?
07:19She is covered in blood.
07:21Barricade that gap!
07:22I rush to steady her.
07:24Martha's voice shakes.
07:26That bastard.
07:27She is trembling with rage.
07:28Cade set up blockades on every path.
07:31Every single one.
07:33All to make sure no one could interrupt Lola's precious birthday fireworks.
07:38Her eyes are bloodshot.
07:39The room goes silent.
07:40Cold dread creeps up my spine.
07:42I stumble backward.
07:44He blocked even his own mother.
07:45I forced myself upright.
07:47We can't just sit here and die.
07:50Desperate to grasp at one last lifeline,
07:52I frantically adjusted the frequency,
07:54broadcasting our slaughter to every nearby pack channel.
07:57Begging, pleading for aid.
08:00Yet, the response left me frozen.
08:02They coldly informed me that,
08:04an hour earlier,
08:06Alpha Cade had personally warned them
08:07that someone in our pack would file false distress calls,
08:10ordering them to ignore all requests tonight.
08:13The indifference was suffocating.
08:15They even explicitly stated that Cade had targeted Martha,
08:19insisting they would not respond unless Elder Martha herself
08:22appeared in person to request aid.
08:24Go in person,
08:25through miles of territory infested with rogues.
08:28It was pure suicide.
08:29The gap in the door was buckling under the pressure.
08:32The shadow of death hanging over us all.
08:34I took a deep breath,
08:36steadied Martha,
08:37and said with iron resolve,
08:38Mom, I'm coming with you.
08:40My voice cold as ice.
08:41Everyone's counting on us.
08:43If we break through there's still a chance.
08:46Martha looked at me for a long moment.
08:49Finally, she nodded slowly.
08:53Two hours later,
08:54I half carry Martha through the darkness.
08:56Her left arm was torn off by a rogue fresh blood
08:59still streams from the wound.
09:01Over this mountain we're almost there.
09:04From halfway up the slope,
09:06we see the outline of Silver Pine Base.
09:08Hope sparks in our chests.
09:10Then, a firework shell explodes directly in front of us.
09:13The blast wave throws us backward like ragdolls.
09:16Martha's blood was splattered on my face.
09:18I look up, dazed.
09:20Through the smoke,
09:21I see Cade with his arm around Lola.
09:23Then his voice booms through the ridge's speaker system,
09:26dripping with mockery.
09:27Selina, I knew it.
09:29You realized your lies wouldn't make me cancel the party,
09:32so now you're trying to force your way through?
09:34His voice turns ice cold.
09:35I knew you'd try to sabotage Lola's birthday.
09:38I won't let you succeed.
09:40The bombardment intensifies.
09:43Mom, tell him it's you!
09:46Cudder!
09:48The ridge falls silent for a heartbeat.
09:50Then Cade's laughter echoes, crueler, louder.
09:53Selina, you're really committed to this act.
09:55First you had my mom lie over the comm,
09:57now you hired an actress?
09:59My mother has two arms,
10:01but the actress has only one.
10:03Stop trying to fool me.
10:04I am your mother!
10:05Can't you even recognize my voice?
10:08Cade hesitates.
10:13Lola immediately tugs his sleeve,
10:15her voice dripping false hurt.
10:17Cade, I know Saloma hates me.
10:19Maybe we should just cancel tonight.
10:21Go back.
10:22It's okay.
10:23I'm used to being treated like this.
10:26Cade's face hardens.
10:28He pulls her close.
10:29Continue.
10:31More shells rain down.
10:33Our path is sealed.
10:37The moon rises higher.
10:41Martha grabs my shoulders.
10:44There's no time.
10:45I'll distract them.
10:46You run.
10:47Get that rescue back here.
10:49Everyone's counting on you!
10:51She shoves me away and limps toward the peak.
10:54I try to grab her.
10:56Mom!
10:57They don't recognize you!
10:59You'll die!
11:01Cade's voice cuts through the air again.
11:04Celine!
11:06If you're willing to throw your life away
11:08to ruin Lola's party,
11:10I'll grant your wish.
11:12He hoists a rocket launcher onto his shoulder,
11:15aims directly at him.
11:17The massive shell screams through the air.
11:20Selina down!
11:22Martha throws herself on top.
11:23Her broken body shields mine.
11:25Boom!
11:26The explosion tears through my eardrums.
11:28Hot blood sprays my face.
11:29Martha's body collapses onto mine.
11:31Her back has been obliterated.
11:33A gaping hole where her spine should be.
11:35Blood pours like a river.
11:37My hands shake as I touch her.
11:38Warmth.
11:39Sticky warmth everywhere.
11:40I shake her gently.
11:41No response.
11:42I scream.
11:46Lola's saccharine voice floats through the speakers.
11:50Selene.
11:51You should throw that corpse off the cliff.
11:54The rogues will smell the blood and come for you too.
11:59Several warriors witness this.
12:01Unease flickers across their faces.
12:05That didn't look fake.
12:07What if the stronghold really is under attack?
12:10What if she's telling the truth?
12:11The alpha would know if something was wrong.
12:13She's obviously staging this because she's jealous of Lola.
12:16Her jealousy is terrifying.
12:17But what if...
12:18What if something did happen?
12:20Our families are all down there.
12:21We're all down there!
12:22Shut up!
12:23Alpha Cade would never gamble with our family's lives.
12:26The squad leader barks at them to shut up.
12:31Then several warriors dragged me like a traitor to the ridge under Cade's orders.
12:36Not one part of my body is unbroken.
12:38Blood and mud mixed together.
12:43Lola approaches with a pitiful expression.
12:46Selene.
12:47You're bleeding so much.
12:50Let me barnage you, okay?
12:52She reaches for me.
12:54Don't touch me!
12:57I slap her hand away hard enough to make her stumble.
13:00Selene!
13:01Lola's trying to help you despite everything.
13:04And this is how you treat her kindness?
13:06He stomps on my broken finger.
13:08Looks like you need a lesson.
13:10You never learn.
13:11Agony rips through me.
13:12I convulse on the ground.
13:14But I don't care about myself.
13:16The people in the panic room are still waiting for me to save them.
13:19I lock eyes with Cade.
13:21The panic room is about to fall.
13:24Every minute you waste, another person dies.
13:27Can't you hear the rocks down there?
13:29Lola immediately bursts into tears.
13:31Cade, it's all my fault.
13:33I shouldn't have had a birthday.
13:35I shouldn't even exist.
13:37Cade pulls her into his arms protectively.
13:40Selene, how long are you going to keep this up?
13:44The stronghold has the most advanced defense system.
13:48Every elite warrior is here guarding you and Lola.
13:52The silver wards have no power.
13:54Because you diverted it to the mountain.
13:58Cade, you're going to regret this.
14:01Alpha Cade, should we send someone to check?
14:03You don't know her.
14:05Making up lies.
14:05She's always been jealous of Lola.
14:07This isn't the first time.
14:09Right, last time she claimed Lola pushed her down the stairs.
14:15Tie her to that tree.
14:17Let her reflect.
14:23Lola smirks.
14:25I struggle with everything I have.
14:28Cade!
14:29If you don't bring warriors back now, everyone's families will be slaughtered!
14:36Torn apart and eaten!
14:38My warning earns me a vicious slap.
14:42Selene, I'm telling you, the more you try to force me to love you, the more I hate you.
14:50Just as they drag me toward the tree, suddenly a piercing alarm shrieks from the valley below.
14:57The stronghold's highest level emergency signal, meaning the panic room has fallen, no survivors.
15:03Everyone freezes.
15:04The older warrior who'd been mocking me stumbles to the cliff edge, staring down.
15:20The young warrior's face drains of color.
15:23His lips tremble in the silence.
15:26I use my last shred of strength to look at Cade.
15:31Do you hear it, Cade?
15:33They're all dead.
15:34This is the firework show you brought with everyone's lives.
15:37Are you satisfied?
15:40Even your mother, the one you respected most, you killed her too.
15:44Inside the stronghold the security door hangs twisted and broken.
15:48Blood pools like water, dismembered limbs, shredded clothing, scattered organs, all mixed together.
15:54Rogues feast greedily on the corpses, making sickening chewing sounds.
15:58Ugh.
15:59I can't hold it in.
16:00I bend over and retch.
16:01Tears stream uncontrollably.
16:03We were still too late.
16:05I gave everything and still couldn't save them.
16:08Let's go inside.
16:10Kira!
16:11Kira!
16:12Mom!
16:13Mom, where are you?
16:21Kira!
16:21Merely, the young warrior finds his mother!
16:28Alpha Cayde!
16:30Look!
16:31Look at my mother!
16:32Her eyes are still open!
16:36Why!
