The Unchosen Alpha - FULL EP 2026
Transcript
00:00I threw my body into the woods. No funeral, no grave, just crows. And that was the second time I
00:05died for him. In my world, being blind is a defect. Without a wolf, you are nothing. I am an
00:11omega, the very bottom of the pack. No strength, no shifting, no healing.
00:16A normal wolf gets stuck, heals in minutes. Give me a paper cut, and I'll bleed for days. But I
00:23have something no one knows about. I don't see faces, I see souls. Jealousy, toxic green, hate, de-oily black.
00:31In my last life, I used it to build a camp. Lucian, a forgotten fifth son. I picked him. I
00:37made him. I put him on the throne.
00:39In the day my sister Celeste died, he grabbed my jaw so hard I heard it crack. He forced a
00:46wolf's vein tincture down my throat.
00:48You blind freak. You knew I never wanted you. Celeste should have been mine from the start. And because of
00:54you, she ended up with Marcus. They tortured her to death. It was your fault.
01:01I died in agony. He gave Celeste's corpse a royal burial. He gave me the woods. But the hurt, his
01:09hate, it was so consuming it dragged me right back to the dark.
01:13I opened my eyes. Seventeen again. Night plummating hell. Lucian walked straight past him and took Celeste's hand, like he
01:22was afraid someone might stop him.
01:24The bastard came back too. And he remembered everything. He is terrified I'll choose him again. Honestly, I couldn't care
01:30less.
01:30I swept my blind gaze across the back of the room. In a sea of dark, rotten souls. A soul
01:37so pure it glowed like liquid gold. The man in the wheelchair. The true alpha.
01:42I choose Celeste as my mate. Lucian's voice cracked through the hall like a whip. She is my one and
01:48only Luna.
01:48He walked toward my sister with eyes full of a tenderness I knew was performance. The room went silent. Then
01:54the whispers hit me like a wall.
01:56No heir in their right mind would want her.
01:58A blind Omega who couldn't even shift? What a joke. Why is she even here?
02:04Trash like her should be in the kitchen, not at a mating ball.
02:08I am an alpha's daughter born blind. When I came of age, my wolf came from the world with my
02:15teeth and claws.
02:16That is not just weakness. That is a death sentence. Being wolf-less, that makes you a joke.
02:22My sister Celeste is the golden child. Born with a siren song. A voice that can calm even the most
02:29violent alpha in the world.
02:30The family treats her like a goddess. They treat me like a mistake they can't take back. Lucian dropped to
02:36one knee in front of her.
02:39Accept my mark, Celeste. I will make you the most powerful woman alive.
02:44And as he spoke, he threw one look back at me. Not an apology. A warning. He thinks he can
02:50take the throne without me this time.
02:52He thinks I was what held him back. He has no idea what he just threw away.
02:56I didn't awaken a wolf when I came of age. I got something much more dangerous. The soul line.
03:05Jealousy is toxic green. Hate is a bottomless black. Love is pink. And the deeper the feeling, the darker it
03:12burns.
03:13In my last life, I kept him alive with this. I spotted assassins before they moved. I told him who
03:20to trust, who to kill.
03:21But this time, I am going to let him have exactly what he wanted. And watch him realize too late
03:26that without me, he is nothing.
03:29And I really hope, for his sake, he doesn't end up calling back to me, begging for a mercy on
03:35the one at home.
03:36The moment Lucian's announcement landed, every eye in the room found me.
03:41I'm just a blind girl. I'm not worthy of a man like Lucian. Celeste is the perfect match for him.
03:47At least you know your place. He stepped closer. An omega with no wolf? I wouldn't choose you if you
03:53were the last woman breathing.
03:55Not even if you crawl to me on your knees.
03:58My mother Marilyn made a sound beside me. A sharp inhale, like she was about to say something she shouldn't.
04:04I squeezed her hand. She went quiet. I swept the room with my soul life.
04:08Marcus. Murky charcoal. Cruel underneath the surface.
04:12The other airs? Muddy swirls of greed and want. In my last life, I chose Lucian because his soul looked
04:18cleaner than anyone else's in the room.
04:20It was a mask. I didn't see what was underneath until the day he killed me. A rotten, inappropriate laugh.
04:26He didn't just hate what it was. He hated me.
04:29I was blind in my last life in more ways than one. Never again. Celeste glided toward me.
04:34Face arranged into the perfect picture of a loving older sister.
04:37Don't be sad. Go ahead. I'll let you have whoever you want.
04:43Her soul was turning toxic green, edge to edge. Pure jealousy. Barely holding its shape.
04:49Since no one's going to claim you anyway, you can always beg me for work.
04:53Celeste will need a personal maid.
04:55With she has vest-smitchy floors, scrubbing floors all a wolf-less Omega is good for.
04:59I didn't blink. I didn't even bother. None of them were worth the energy.
05:03And then, the sound of wheels. The chatter died. Then the room shifted.
05:09Kyle Ravenscroft had arrived. Uninvited. Unannounced. And completely unmoved by the spectacle.
05:16He sat in that wheelchair like a predator at rest. And then I saw.
05:20My breath caught. His soul was gold. Pure. Shimmering. Blinding gold.
05:26The mark of the moon goddess herself. The mark of a true king.
05:30I clenched my fists so hard my nails broke the skin.
05:34Last life, I picked the wrong man.
05:36I defied the moon goddess. Put a monster on the throne.
05:40And everyone paid for it. Not this time.
05:44I stood up. I walked past Lucian without a glance.
05:47Past every arrogant alpha heir in the room.
05:49I stopped in front of Kyle's wheelchair.
05:51I choose him.
05:53The hall went dead silent.
05:55Then it exploded.
05:56Lifed up. From every direction.
05:59All it was.
06:00The blind girl and the cripple.
06:02Neither of you has a wolf.
06:05You really are a perfect match.
06:09Xayah?
06:10You can't see.
06:12You don't understand.
06:14He's in a wheelchair.
06:15She glanced at the crowd, milking every second of it.
06:20I'll pretend I didn't hear that.
06:22Choose again.
06:24And if you truly can't find an alpha willing to have you, you're welcome to follow our caravan.
06:30Serve Lucian and me.
06:33At least you won't go hungry.
06:35I'm not anyone's servant.
06:37And I'm not a stray you take in out of pity.
06:39Kyle hadn't said a word through any of it.
06:41He just rolled his chair forward until he was right in front of me.
06:45He took my hand.
06:46His palm was large and rough.
06:48Thick with calluses.
06:49The kind you only get from years of hard use.
06:56He took my hand and guided it to his knee.
06:59No flinching.
07:00No excuses.
07:01If he was lying.
07:03He didn't want pity for it.
07:04I left my hand there.
07:06I could feel the heat of him through the fabric intense, alive.
07:10Then a jolt.
07:11It shot through my fingertips, raced up my arm.
07:13And hit my chest like a beast.
07:15This wasn't the soul line.
07:17It was something else entirely.
07:19My blood was screaming.
07:21I don't have a wolf.
07:22I was never supposed to feel a mate ball.
07:25But there it was.
07:29Kyle's whole body locked up.
07:31I looked into his soul.
07:32Warm pink threading through shimmering gold.
07:35I leaned in close and smiled.
07:37For six minutes, Lucian's face went ugly.
07:40The mating ball isn't over.
07:42And you're out here making promises you can't keep?
07:45If you fail to heal him, the Alpha Council will have your head.
07:49Can you actually do it?
07:50I didn't answer right away.
07:52I let my fingers trail slowly along his tensed thigh.
07:56I can.
07:57But it'll require a very specific kind of contact.
08:01He understood immediately.
08:02The tips of his ears went red.
08:04He turned his head away.
08:06Couldn't quite bring himself to look at me.
08:07In my peripheral vision, Lucian's soul ignited.
08:11A roaring wall of green fire.
08:14Jealousy.
08:14A cold laugh rose in my chest.
08:17Jealous of what?
08:18Except Lucian.
08:19You are the one who poured poison down my throat.
08:21The moment I stepped outside the hall, the world tilted.
08:25White hot pain detonated behind my eyes.
08:29Like something was being driven through my skull from the inside.
08:33That is the cost.
08:34Every time I used the full eye on that many people at once, it cost me.
08:38I pressed my freezing fingers to my temples.
08:41The cold always came after.
08:42After the ball, Lucian got to work.
08:44He pulled up everything from our past life.
08:47Her favorite flowers.
08:48Her secret hiding spots.
08:50Every word she'd been waiting her whole life to hear.
08:53He played her like he'd been practicing for years.
08:56That same day, a mating contract arrived at my door on heavy old parchment.
09:03I accept you as my mate.
09:05I will hold and protect you in this life and the next.
09:08Not even death will part us.
09:09The handwriting was deep and certain.
09:12No hesitation in a single stroke.
09:14It felt exactly like him.
09:16Both weddings were set for the same morning.
09:18The night before, Celeste walked into my room like she owned it.
09:21She didn't knock.
09:22Her maid tossed something at my feet.
09:24A tattered gray shawl.
09:26A kind worn by the lowest ranking omegas.
09:29A mark of total submission.
09:32You're a blind freak, Zara.
09:37No real alpha will ever claim you, she leaned in, voice honeyed and vicious at the same time.
09:45Lucian and I are being generous.
09:47We're keeping you on as a servant.
09:49But on the day of the ceremony, no carriage for you.
09:53You'll wear that and walk behind the caravan.
09:56Servant sentence.
09:57Don't embarrass us.
09:58The morning came.
10:00I left the shawl on the floor where it landed.
10:03I put on the dress Kyle had sent instead.
10:05White silk, thousands of diamonds sewn into the fabric.
10:09Small enough to look like starlight.
10:11At the estate gate, two carriages waited.
10:15One was extraordinary.
10:17Draped in thumb-sized pearls.
10:19Built like a throne that happened to have wheels.
10:22The other was plainly standard blue.
10:24Nothing remarkable.
10:27Celeste didn't hesitate for a second.
10:29She walked straight to the pearl carriage and stepped inside.
10:34The head guard turned.
10:36His expression didn't waver.
10:38You're in the wrong carriage.
10:40This was commissioned by Alpha Kyle for his Luna and no one else.
10:45He didn't get her time to argue.
10:47Guards took her by the arms and came to her.
10:49She caught her heel on her skirt and went down hard face-faced into the dirt.
10:56Lucien arrived just in time to see it.
10:59Celeste scrambled up and threw herself at him, already crying.
11:05It's Zara!
11:06She planned this!
11:09She can't stand that I'm the one becoming a Luna!
11:13She turned to the crowd gathering around them, eyes blisting.
11:16Please, don't hate her.
11:18She's struggling.
11:20I know we're in love, Lucien.
11:23But I begged you to keep her safe.
11:25I pleaded for months just so she could be our servant and I not starve on the street.
11:32She's a blind, Omega.
11:33She should be grateful anyone even bothered to take her in.
11:36To pull a strunt like this on her sister's wedding day?
11:39It's thetic.
11:40The crowd was vicious.
11:42They always are when they smell what it is.
11:45Lucien's soul was drowning in black.
11:47Thick, suffocating.
11:48Ink dark.
11:49He pulled Celeste against his chest and turned on me.
11:53You're an Omega, Zara.
11:56You have no right to wear white.
11:58Take that dress off right now or I'll shred it off your back myself!
12:04Celeste buried her face in his chest.
12:06But I could see her soul.
12:08She was smirking.
12:10Lucien, you don't have me watching your back this time.
12:14What's coming for you tonight isn't a wedding.
12:18It's a funeral.
12:21Celeste, we foiled our heads strut.
12:23How can you curse him like that?
12:25Just because he didn't choose you?
12:28You dare curse an Alpha heir?
12:31Guards, seize her!
12:34The soldiers started moving in.
12:36Think carefully.
12:38You're laying a hand on Alpha Kyle's mate.
12:41Make sure that's a consequence you're ready to live with.
12:44Lucien laughed.
12:45Jagged.
12:46Ugly.
12:47Kyle, the cripple isn't even here.
12:49Probably hiding in his chambers, too embarrassed to show his face.
12:53He's using you for sport, Zara.
12:55Nothing more.
12:55He stepped forward, close enough that his shadow fell over me.
12:59Neil, beg Celeste's forgiveness.
13:02And maybe, maybe, I'll still find a use for you.
13:05Then a voice cut through everything.
13:07Who is threatening my mate?
13:08The crowd spilt.
13:09Kyle moved through them like they weren't there.
13:12Sharp black suit.
13:13Not a single piece out of place.
13:15Even seated.
13:16His presence was suffocating.
13:17The moment he appeared, the street went silent.
13:20Beside him, Lucien suddenly looked like a boy wearing his mask.
13:25Kyle came straight to me.
13:27He took my hand and folded it inside his large, warm, unhurried.
13:31So the blades are better.
13:33Then he looked up.
13:34But now.
13:35His eyes fixed on Lucien like a blade finding its mark.
13:38Let's try that again.
13:40Who was it that told my mate to me?
13:42The temperature in the street seemed to drop.
13:44No one walked.
13:46No one breathed.
13:47He didn't shout.
13:48Didn't signal his men.
13:50He just watched Lucien the way a predator watches something it has already decided to deal
13:54with later.
13:54I'll remember that.
13:56I'm an alpha heir.
13:58Same as you.
13:59Who the hell do you think you are?
14:00Who the hell do you think you are?
14:02A forgotten fifth son trying to give orders to my mate.
14:06You're not a rival, Lucien.
14:08You're a fit note.
14:10The color drained from Lucien's face.
14:12This isn't over.
14:14Low and mean.
14:14You'll both regret tonight.
14:18I gave you a chance, Zara.
14:20When you come crawling back, and you will, don't expect mercy.
14:25I looked at his soul, muddy breathing.
14:27Murky and small.
14:28He genuinely believes he is the chosen one.
14:30He thinks the throne is already his, and that I was just dead weight holding him back.
14:35He has no idea what is waiting for him.
14:37Without me clearing his path, he won't last the season.
14:40He'll be lucky to still be breathing by the time the leaves turn.
14:44Oh, her first night as Mace was quiet.
14:46Just the two of us, and the fire crackling low between us.
14:50We shared whiskey, amber, and slow burning on the way down.
14:56I could feel his eyes, heavy and silver warm against my skin.
15:00My pulse wouldn't settle.
15:02Even sitting across from me in that chair, his presence filled the entire room.
15:06You said you could fix my legs.
15:10How?
15:12Help me with something first.
15:15I've never seen this room.
15:18Describe it to me.
15:20Then he started talking.
15:22The fires glow.
15:24The oil paintings.
15:25He told me their textures, not just their subjects.
15:28The velvet curtains.
15:29Deep and heavy.
15:31On the shelf above the nightstand.
15:34There's an old book.
15:36The cover is faded.
15:38My hand stilled around the glass.
15:40That shelf was high, nearly at the ceiling.
15:43From a wheelchair.
15:44The top of that book was completely out of sight.
15:47There was no way he could know the cover was faded.
15:50I didn't say a word.
15:51I just took another sip and filed that detail away somewhere.
15:55I wouldn't forget it.
15:56I stood up with my glass in hand, then let it slip.
16:00It hit the carpet with a dull thud and rolled toward the sofa.
16:05Kyle's body moved before his mind could stop it.
16:08His chest surged forward.
16:09The muscles in his thighs locked and coiled, dense as iron cables.
16:14For a single, unguarded second, he was about to stand.
16:18Then he caught himself and settled back into the leather as if nothing had happened.
16:22But I felt it.
16:24That reflex was all the confirmation I needed.
16:26I didn't say anything.
16:28Not yet.
16:29There's one more way to be sure.
16:33I stepped in close.
16:35And I straddled his lap.
16:37Kyle stopped breathing.
16:40The heat from his hands soaked straight through the silk.
16:43It burned against my skin like a brand.
16:46My heart was slamming.
16:48I ignored it.
16:50I raised my hand and let my fingertips trace from his jaw down to his chest.
16:55Hard as stone beneath the shirt.
16:57Not the body of a man who hadn't used his legs in seven years.
17:00I looked into his soul.
17:02A storm deep crimson.
17:04Soft pink.
17:05Something more tender than he'd admit.
17:07And threading through both.
17:08A sharp streak of dark green panic.
17:12He knew I was getting close.
17:14I leaned down.
17:19My lips barely grazed the corner of his mouth.
17:22Not a kiss.
17:24A question.
17:24His breathing came apart.
17:26And then I took his hand and pressed his palm flat against my chest.
17:30The silk between us was nothing.
17:32My face was burning.
17:34Because in that moment, his body gave me the most honest answer he had.
17:38His body reacted before his mind could stop it.
17:42I felt the shift in his balance.
17:44The sudden brace through his thighs.
17:46The instinctive drive upward.
17:47A man who hadn't reached his legs in seven years wouldn't move like that.
17:52I pulled back just enough.
17:54Let the smile come slowly.
17:56Your legs are fine.
17:57That much, I know.
17:58Kyle closed his eyes.
18:00His throat moved as he swallowed.
18:02Then he stood up.
18:03One hand stayed at my waist.
18:05The other still pressed against my chest.
18:08He lifted me and I felt just how much of him there was.
18:11Nearly six foot long.
18:13All of it muscle.
18:14My whole world was suddenly just him.
18:17How did you know?
18:18I just smiled and gave him something vague enough to pass.
18:21He set me down gently on the edge of the bed.
18:24Then stepped back.
18:26The hand that had touched my chest was shaking.
18:28I'm sorry, I shouldn't have.
18:30Don't.
18:31I'm the one who put your hand there.
18:32He looked at me for a long moment.
18:34And he laughed.
18:35A real laugh.
18:37Warm and unguarded.
18:38Like seven years of tension finally giving way.
18:41Seven years.
18:42Seven years fooling everyone.
18:44The whole damn world.
18:47And my blind mate catches me on the very first night.
18:50We didn't go any further that night.
18:51We ended up on the rug in front of the fire.
18:54The bottle of whiskey between us.
18:56And we just...
18:57talked.
18:58He told me about the night his parents were killed.
19:00They called it a rogue wolf attack.
19:03Everyone knew what it actually was.
19:06The Alpha King had ordered it.
19:07He was 15 years old.
19:09Standing at their funeral.
19:10And he made a decision.
19:12He would become the cripple.
19:14Invisible.
19:16Unthreatening.
19:17Off the King's list entirely.
19:19It was the only way to stay alive.
19:21I told him about Lucian.
19:23All of it.
19:24What he was underneath.
19:26I didn't choose you because I had no other options.
19:29I chose you because you were the only one worth choosing.
19:33I watched his soul begin to shift.
19:36The gold bleeding slowly into a deep and glowing lake.
19:40Late into the night, I came back.
19:42The splitting pain behind my temples.
19:45Like an axe working its way through bone.
19:47I tried to keep my hands still.
19:49They were shaking anyway.
19:51Kyle stopped mid-sentence.
19:53Your head.
19:54Before I could deflect, his thumbs were already at my temples.
19:58The pressure.
19:58Exact, like he'd mapped the pain before he touched it.
20:02My mother used to get them.
20:03I've known what to do since I was a boy.
20:05The pain didn't ease.
20:07It vanished.
20:08We shared the same bed.
20:09His arm lay heavy and warm across my waist.
20:12My head settled against his chest.
20:14I listened to his heartbeat through my soul lie.
20:17I watched his soul settle.
20:18The gold softening.
20:20Deepening.
20:20Into a rich and quiet pink.
20:22For the first time in two lifetimes, I felt safe.
20:25Lucian's wedding night was far from the heart.
20:27In my last life, a maid tried to spike his wine with wolf's bane.
20:31I caught her before she could get close.
20:33I read the murder in her soul.
20:35Swapped the glasses.
20:36Had her detained before he'd taken a single seat.
20:39This time, I did nothing.
20:41Celeste wouldn't notice.
20:42She wouldn't know a threat if it sat down beside her and introduced itself.
20:46The next morning, Kyle and I arrived at the Alpha King's estate.
20:50No sign of Lucian.
20:51No sign of Celeste.
20:53The corridors were alive with hushed, urgent voices.
20:56The thing there was poisoned in his own chambers.
20:59He hasn't woken.
21:00The healers say the dose was enough to drop a grizzly.
21:03I kept my face perfectly still.
21:05But underneath him, I was smiling.
21:07Lucian's fall had started.
21:09I missed him that he wasn't going to stop it.
21:12The carriage had barely rolled to a stop when Celeste appeared at the gates.
21:16She looked like she hadn't slept in the days.
21:18Zara!
21:19You poisoned him!
21:21Give me the antidote right now!
21:25I felt the temperature inside the carriage shift.
21:27Kyle went very still beside me.
21:29I placed a hand on his arm.
21:31I've got this.
21:33I leaned in and pressed a quick kiss to his cheek.
21:36Then I stepped out into the morning air.
21:39Antidote?
21:40I don't have one.
21:42Whatever happened to Lucian has nothing to do with me.
21:46Liar!
21:48Then how did you know he'd be dying on his wedding night?
21:51I tilted my head.
21:53That's a serious accusation.
21:56Where's your proof?
21:58Did you catch the killer?
21:59Did you find the poison?
22:01I already knew she hadn't.
22:03The spy Marcus sent was a professional.
22:05Without my soul eye, she was a ghost.
22:07By now she was likely across the border, untouchable.
22:11Celeste stood there, mouth open, nothing coming out.
22:14If you keep causing a scene on my land, my warriors will remove you.
22:21Her eyes dropped to my neck.
22:22She saw the red mark Kyle had left there.
22:25You actually slept with him?
22:27A blind girl and a broken man?
22:30I suppose trash finds its own level.
22:32I suppose trash finds its own level.
22:34I thought about last night, the fire, the whiskey.
22:36The long silence after he finally stood up and I felt the full weight of him for the first time.
22:41Kyle wasn't broken.
22:42He was ten thousand times the man Lucian would ever be.
22:45I laughed.
22:48What is so funny?
22:49I stopped, looked at her.
22:51We're close enough to it.
22:52I'm laughing at how blind you are.
22:54Lucian is going to die.
22:57And when he goes down, he'll take you with him.
23:00If you want to survive what's coming, sever the bond now.
23:04While you still can.
23:05That was it for her.
23:06She swung at my face.
23:08Wide, furious, telegraphed from a mile away.
23:11I shifted my weight and stepped aside.
23:13She hit nothing but air.
23:14The momentum carried her forward and she went down hard, palms and knees in the dirt.
23:18I looked down at her.
23:19Remember this.
23:21Because the next time you raise a hand to me, I won't step aside.
23:24She stared up at me from the ground, trembling.
23:26For the first time in her life, she was actually afraid of me.
23:29The blind girl she used to torment wasn't there anymore.
23:32Someone else had taken her place.
23:35Kyle was waiting when I stepped back into the carriage.
23:38He just watched me with those gray eyes.
23:40And in them, not worry, not pity.
23:41Admiration, he trusted me to handle my own affairs.
23:45That respect landed heavier than any shield he could have raised.
23:48He turned to his lead guard and spoke low.
23:50No one from Lucian's pack crosses onto my land again.
23:54For any reason.
23:56Ever.
23:59After Celeste was escorted out, we turned to the business of leaving.
24:02We were heading for Thorn Harbor.
24:04The courtyard filled with people and supplies controlled chaos.
24:07And through all of it, my soul, I found a single target.
24:11A guard named Vaughn.
24:12His soul was a muddy, treacherous gray.
24:14I leaned close to Kyle's ear.
24:16Who is that man?
24:18Vaughn.
24:20He's been with me since I was 15.
24:22Saved my life twice.
24:23I pulled back and looked at me.
24:25Kyle, do you trust me?
24:26His soul flushed deep dark pink all at once.
24:30You're my mate.
24:31Of course I do.
24:32He's a traitor.
24:33We changed the route to Thorn Harbor.
24:36And we tell no one.
24:38In my last time, this was where it ended with Kyle.
24:41Ambushed on the road to the harbor.
24:43Wounds that never healed.
24:44He died defending the city walls.
24:46I finished speaking.
24:48Let my lips brush his cheek.
24:50Kyle's arm came around my waist immediately.
24:53Pulling me in.
24:54Across the yard, I felt Vaughn watching us.
24:57He clocked how close we were.
24:59He looked very fast.
25:00Kyle pressed his face into the curb of my neck.
25:02His breath was warm against my skin.
25:04Are you trying to fix my legs again?
25:06Because I'm happy to wait until tonight.
25:09Or we could start now.
25:11The next morning, Vaughn was gone.
25:13Kyle sat beside me at breakfast.
25:15Cutting my steak into careful pieces without being asked.
25:18You were right.
25:20Vaughn was Marcus's man.
25:22Buried so deep, I never suspected him once in seven years.
25:26It took some...
25:29Persuasion to get him to talk.
25:31He looked at me.
25:33How did you know, Zara?
25:34I looked into his soul, golden pink.
25:37Wound together.
25:38No suspicion.
25:39No fear.
25:40Lucky guess.
25:41The words were barely out when the pain hit.
25:43White.
25:44Hot behind both temples at once.
25:46My hand went to my head before I could stop it.
25:48Kyle didn't say a word.
25:50He just moved his chair flush against mine.
25:52Un-in-hand kept cutting my food.
25:54The other reached up and wrapped around the back of my neck.
25:56The pain dissolved.
25:57He has stopped asking why it happens.
25:59He just makes sure he is there when it does.
26:02Thorn Harbor.
26:02Kyle's territory.
26:04The land was rough.
26:06Resources thin.
26:07The kind of place the Alpha Council never bothered to look at twice.
26:11The wolves here were loyal to Kyle.
26:14The way wolves are loyal to someone they've chosen.
26:16Out of true devotion.
26:18When I went to the market, they called me Luna and refused my coin.
26:21Every stall, every vendor.
26:23I had to set the money down and walk away before they touch it.
26:27I came back to the estate breathless.
26:29And my maid watched me come through the door.
26:32The Luna is blind.
26:34But she moves faster than any soldier I've trained with.
26:39Kyle heard her.
26:40That night, his fingers found the edges of my eyes.
26:44Zara.
26:46Is it really just...
26:47Nothing?
26:48Nothing.
26:48Nothing.
26:48Nothing.
26:48Nothing.
26:48Nothing.
26:48Nothing.
26:49Nothing.
