00:00Sunlight streams through towering windows.
00:02The hall was packed.
00:04Wolves stood shoulder by shoulder.
00:06I stood at the center, dressed in silver and white.
00:11I looked regal.
00:12Beta Cole and Adrian watched from the front row, eyes glistening.
00:16Night descended from the throne.
00:18In his hands, a crown, delicate silver, caught light like frozen stars.
00:23I was born ready.
00:26I smiled.
00:28I was born ready.
00:30He placed the crown on my head, then took my hand and lifted it to his lips,
00:34kissy knuckles once, slow, deliberate, reverent.
00:37The hall erupted, howls, tweers, stomping feet.
00:41Then all loudly.
00:44I looked at night.
00:46He was already looking at me.
00:48I smiled.
00:50Mountains rise in the distance.
00:51Moonlight pours down like liquid silver.
00:54Two wolves streak across the valley.
00:56One white is me.
00:57One black is night.
00:58I leap, tacking the dark one mid-stride.
01:01We tumble together down a grassy slope, a tangle of fur and limbs until we roll to a stop at
01:06the bottom.
01:06Then fur gives way to skin.
01:09Pamping gives way to breathing.
01:11Ragged, human, close.
01:13We lie tangled together at the base of the slope, no longer wolves.
01:16My hair spills across his arm.
01:18He lowers his head with a soft smile.
01:22Take me to night, night.
01:24His mouth finds mine, slow at first, then deeper.
01:27My fingers slide into his hair.
01:30His hand traces down my side, over my hip, pulling me closer.
01:34Every night, for the rest of my life.
01:37The moonlight spills over us.
01:39My head fall back.
01:40His lips find my throat.
01:42A soft sound escapes me.
01:44Our two figures move together in the silver light.
01:47Skin against skin.
01:48Nothing between us now.
01:50The mountains keep watching us.
01:53I stared wide-eyed, frozen in fear.
01:56Father, Alpha Heart, had pupupils glowing like molten fire,
02:00baring his fangs as he lulunged at his brother Damien.
02:04Only fierce snars filled the air.
02:06This was a cruel fight for the Alpha Throne,
02:09and the silver moonlight had long been stained red.
02:13Their powers collided.
02:15A shockwave ripped through the trees.
02:18Damien's body flied backwards, slammed into a boulder,
02:21and slided down, unconscious.
02:24My father stumbled.
02:26He dropped to one knee, gasping.
02:28Blood poured from deep wounds across his chest and arms.
02:33Daddy!
02:37Then, I stumbled out of the bushes and fell into my father's arms.
02:42He was weak, stroked my hair.
02:46Don't cry, my little moon.
02:49For the pack's peace.
02:51This is worth it.
02:52From now on, hide your name.
02:55Go with Beta Cole.
02:57He'll protect you.
02:59He gently pushed me away.
03:01Beta Cole lifted me.
03:02I cried out for my father.
03:05No!
03:06Daddy!
03:08Alpha Heart smiled.
03:09Alpha Heart smiled.
03:10Eyes closed.
03:11A silver light emanated from his body, flooding the forest.
03:15My dad's last strength becomes a barrier to protect our pack and me.
03:19Thus, my wolf will stay sealed until 16.
03:23Later, I came to the Cole family.
03:25They treated me like their own, especially Adrian.
03:29On that day, sunlight glinted through the trees.
03:31Beta Cole carried me from the car.
03:33At the gate, Adrian, who was eight years old, ran towards us.
03:37He was gentle.
03:39Hi, I'm Adrian Cole.
03:41Dad said I have a little sister now.
03:43That's you?
03:44Selena.
03:46I'm Selena.
03:47Cole.
03:48Then I'll call you Lena.
03:50I'll protect you.
03:51I nodded, smiled through tears, our hands clasped tightly.
03:56I also remembered that day.
03:58My birthday in this home, Adrian placed a crystal crown on my head and kissed my cheek.
04:03Happy birthday, my princess.
04:05I closed my eyes and made a wish.
04:07I wish Adrian would be here.
04:09Every birthday.
04:10Always.
04:12One day, I was cornered by wolf boys, trembling with tears.
04:16You think a human can join us?
04:19Dream on!
04:20Adrian came charging from a distance and shoved the boys away fiercely.
04:25Touch my sister again?
04:28I'll rip out your throats.
04:30All of you!
04:31His eyes flashed gold, then wolf boys froze.
04:34They scrambled away, tripped over each other.
04:38Adrian and I run through tall grass, laughing, out of breath.
04:43We collapsed, side by side, hands clasped, stared up at the moon.
04:47Selina, even if you're a human, my Luna could only be you.
04:52When I went to school, I wore the school uniform and stood beside the car.
04:56Adrian opened the car door and gently pulled me close to kiss my hair.
05:01Lena, the seat next to me will always be yours.
05:04I thought this happiness would last forever, until that girl, Lyra's shadow appeared.
05:08The happy memories flashed backward, faster and faster.
05:11My snap to reality.
05:13I opened the passenger door of the luxury car.
05:15Lyra leaned against Adrian, laughed softly.
05:18Why is she coming home with us?
05:20Lyra's not feeling well, I'm just dropping her off.
05:23Adrian was impatient, as Lyra shot me a look.
05:26Poison.
05:27A smirk curled her lips.
05:28Then she draped herself around Adrian's neck, played weak.
05:32You said the seat next to you would always be mine.
05:36Childish.
05:36It's just a seat.
05:38Take the back today.
05:39Adrian gestured with his chin.
05:41I opened the back door.
05:45I gasped in pain.
05:47Blood seeped from my foot.
05:50Adrian!
05:50Walk home yourself.
05:52Don't make a scene.
05:58Suddenly, raindrops falled.
06:00Then a downpour.
06:02I hugged myself.
06:04Shivered.
06:04Stared at my bleeding foot with hollow eyes.
06:07Rain mixes with blood.
06:09My eyes fluttered closed.
06:12When I woke up again, I slowly opened my eyes.
06:15An IV drip ran into my arm.
06:18Then, Adrian rushed into the room in a panic.
06:21Adrian still cares about me.
06:23I thought.
06:23I sit up slightly.
06:24Warmth flickered in my chest.
06:26Adrian had already at my bedside.
06:28His eyes burned with rage.
06:29So you told my dad Lyra pushed you.
06:31And now you fake being sick?
06:32You're the worst, Celine.
06:34I freezed.
06:35Before I could explain, Adrian grabbed my arm and yanked me out of bed.
06:39Wait!
06:40Adrian!
06:41I gasped as the needle ripped out of my arm.
06:44The IV dube whipped through the air.
06:46Blood beaded instantly on my skin.
06:49I stumbled and fell to my knees in pain.
06:52A streak of red ran down my arm.
06:54Adrian's anger cracked just for a moment.
06:56He stared at the wound.
06:58His breath catches.
06:59His fingers trickled slightly and almost reached for me.
07:02Selina.
07:04I'm...
07:04Adrian!
07:05Help!
07:06Adrian froze for half a second.
07:08Then his face hardened again.
07:09Lyra!
07:11He ran out urgently without a second glance at me.
07:14I clutched my bleeding arm, forced myself up.
07:17Paled and tribbled.
07:18I followed him.
07:20Limped.
07:20Stumbled.
07:21Lyra was bound to the sofa.
07:23Tears streamed down her face.
07:24Fresh whip marked cover her arms and shoulders.
07:26Beta Cole stood over her.
07:28Whipped in hand, feared radiating from him.
07:30He raised the whip.
07:30Adrian bursted in and throwed himself in front of his father.
07:33Stop!
07:34Lyra's too fragile.
07:35Kill her!
07:35Step back!
07:36This is punishment for her!
07:38It's all my fault!
07:40Don't think I won't hit you, boy.
07:43The whip cracked down, again and again.
07:46I stood in the doorway, watched.
07:48Grief tightened my face.
07:50My hands curled into fists.
07:53Beta Cole didn't stop until he sensed my watching.
07:55He looked at me, then gave a slight bow.
07:58Adrian seethed with resentment, turned on his father in a low, bitter voice.
08:02Why do you treat her like this?
08:03Ever since she came, our Alpha's gone and we've been hunted.
08:06She is a curse!
08:08Shut up, Adrian.
08:09You have no idea who you're talking to?
08:12Beta Cole dropped the whip and gestured for me to follow.
08:15We walked toward the study room.
08:17A tear traced silver down my cheek.
08:19Warm light filled the study.
08:21Surrounded by ancient books, I looked at Beta.
08:24Princess, we talked about you leaving or staying.
08:27I will leave for the trials, become Alpha, inherit my father's will, and protect our pack.
08:34Impressive.
08:35Truly, you are the daughter of Alpha Heart.
08:38I lowered my head slightly, nervous but unwavering.
08:41Once your status is restored, you will no longer enjoy the life of an ordinary person.
08:46You'll bear far greater responsibility.
08:48Responsibility will make me happier.
08:49I used to think Adrian would give me a normal life, a simple happiness.
08:54But everything changed.
08:58I apologize for my son.
09:00I don't mind.
09:02Next week, you turn 16.
09:05You will awaken as an Alpha.
09:07You will have your own wolf.
09:08I'll arrange your leave from school.
09:10You'll go to the training camp for Alpha initiation.
09:13And you will become a brave Alpha, just like your father.
09:18For everything.
09:20Then I walked slowly out of the study, calm but filled with quiet strength.
09:24The moment I stepped out, Adrian appeared, pinned me against the wall.
09:28We stood inches apart.
09:30You!
09:31Jealousy!
09:31Hatred!
09:32Why are you targeting Laia?
09:34Because you think she's stealing my attention from you?
09:36I looked up, met his eyes.
09:38I let out a small laugh.
09:40Cold and distant.
09:42Adrian.
09:43Not everything is about you.
09:45Adrian froze, a few seconds of silence.
09:48He stepped closer, fisted clenching slightly, his voice raw with anger, and something else.
09:54Enough!
09:55If you want my attention, then be nice to Lyra.
09:58She cries every night because of you.
10:00I shook my head, my gaze steady.
10:03Everything changed.
10:05I am no longer the girl you thought you knew.
10:08Done waiting.
10:10Done hoping.
10:11For the boy I love to see me.
10:14Adrian stood frozen.
10:16Speechless.
10:16I gently pushed past him and walked away, steady, unharried, and resolute.
10:25I walked into the empty locker room alone.
10:28I looked down at my injured foot, gently touched it.
10:32The wound seeped slightly, but my eyes, unwavering.
10:36Once I regain the power of Alpha, I will be able to heal myself.
10:40Suddenly, sharp giggles from outside, followed by the click of heels on the floor.
10:45Lyra appeared in the doorway with two followers, each step slow and deliberate.
10:49Well, well, look who's finally showing up.
10:52Bastard!
10:53Just a useless waste!
10:55One of the girl mocked.
10:56The three girls closed in, backed me into a corner by the lockers.
10:59My back hit the wall.
11:00My expression stayed calm, but my shoulder tense slightly.
11:04Another girl yanked my backpack.
11:08Look at those shoes.
11:10They are screaming for help.
11:12Too bad you can't.
11:13They tugged at my uniform.
11:16The fabric tears, exposed my shoulder.
11:19Lyra stepped closer, smirk still in place.
11:22She pulled a pen from her pocket, clicked it, and moved in.
11:26Bitch, I'm gonna give you back everything I suffered last night.
11:30Every bit of it.
11:32Then, she jabbed the pen tip into my shoulder.
11:36Suddenly, the silver mark on my wrist began to glow.
11:39The air ripples.
11:41Locker doors rattled gently.
11:43Books slid off shelves.
11:45A pulse of energy blasted outward.
11:48The girls stumbled back, crashed into the lockers, shrieked.
11:51Lyra doubled over, then looked up in terror.
11:54I stepped forward slowly, calmly.
11:57I reached out and gripped Lyra's chin.
12:00From now on, no one touches me without permission.
12:04Especially you, Lyra.
12:07Lyra shoved my hand away, trembled.
12:10Suddenly, Adrian bursted in,
12:12throwed himself between Lyra and I.
12:14Stay back, Selene.
12:15What the hell are you doing?
12:19See?
12:20She's doing it again.
12:22She's always bullying me.
12:24Adrian hesitated for half a second,
12:26then bought it.
12:27He whirled on me.
12:29There you go again.
12:30It's always you, isn't it?
12:32Stirring up trouble wherever you go.
12:35I inhaled slowly.
12:37A cold, bitter smile tugged at my lips.
12:40I shook my head.
12:41How could I ever?
12:43Like an idiot like you.
12:44Heard that.
12:45Adrian's face dartened.
12:47Lyra's father died protecting this pack.
12:48She's a hero's daughter.
12:50You?
12:51You're just some human girl.
12:52If my dad hadn't taken you in, you'd be dead long ago.
12:54My hands clenched into fists.
12:56My eyes reddened.
12:57I trembled, but not from fear.
12:59Lyra's father was a traitor.
13:00He tried to take the alpha position.
13:03My father fought him to save the pack,
13:05but I can't tell anyone.
13:06Who'd believe me?
13:07I took a deep breath.
13:08I moved to leave,
13:09but Adrian blocked my path with his arm out.
13:11Selene, apologize to Lyra.
13:13Now!
13:14I stopped and met his eyes.
13:15Impossible.
13:16Adrian's browed titans.
13:17He stepped closer.
13:19Voice dropped to a low threat.
13:20I don't beat girls, but...
13:23If you dare touch me,
13:25you cannot bear that responsibility.
13:27I raised my arm,
13:28pulled up my sleeve,
13:29my pant leg,
13:30revealed scars,
13:32bruises,
13:32wounds,
13:33layered over time.
13:34Adrian's eyes went wide.
13:36Who did this?
13:38Who hurts you?
13:40Lyra, she did this.
13:41She tortures me all the years.
13:43Why are you always so mean to me?
13:46I...
13:47I didn't do anything!
13:49A sad, quiet smile crossed my face.
13:51There's no anger left.
13:53Everything is gone.
13:55Adrian,
13:55you forgot your promises,
13:56our happy times,
13:58all gone.
13:59It's injured.
13:59Let me carry you.
14:01Let me go.
14:03I can walk myself.
14:04After said that,
14:05I turned to leave.
14:06But Adrian lifted me anyway.
14:09Firm,
14:10yet gentle.
14:11I struggled for a moment,
14:13then still.
14:15I rested against him,
14:17my expression unreadable.
14:19Lyra watched from the side.
14:21Jealousy twisted her face.
14:24Rage burns in her eyes.
14:27Bitch.
14:28I'm not done with you.
14:30I was lying on a bed.
14:32An IV dripped in my arm.
14:33I looked pale.
14:35Adrian sat beside me,
14:36holding my hand.
14:38I pulled away.
14:39He took it again.
14:40The fluid's cold.
14:41Let me warm your hand.
14:43I turned my head away,
14:44stopped fighting it.
14:45A single tear fell.
14:49Adrian's phone rang.
14:50He stood,
14:51gently touched my forehead.
14:53Be right back.
14:53His voice soft.
14:54He left.
14:55I closed my eyes,
14:57sighing.
14:58Lyra slipped into the room,
14:59a smirk on her face.
15:01My eyes snapped open.
15:02I jerked up in bed,
15:04alarmed.
15:04Lyra?
15:05What are you doing here?
15:07Lyra's smile widened.
15:08She moved closer.
15:09Her fingers hovered over the IV line.
15:12Her eyes glinted,
15:13unhinged,
15:14daring.
15:15My breath quickened.
15:16I gripped the sheet,
15:17eyes wary.
15:18Lyra yanked the needle out of my arm.
15:21Fluid spattered the bed.
15:23In one swift move,
15:24Lyra plunged the needle into her own chest.
15:27Blood seeped through her shirt.
15:29Her face twisted in pain,
15:30but there's a sick satisfaction in her eyes.
15:33The door burst open.
15:34Adrien stormed in,
15:36took in the scene,
15:37rage in his eyes.
15:39Lyra!
15:39He rushed to her,
15:40pulled her into his arms,
15:42shielded her.
15:43Lyra's expression shifted instantly.
15:45Her eyes welled up.
15:46Selina,
15:48please don't hurt me.
15:50I know I was wrong.
15:52I won't take anything from you ever again.
15:54I just,
15:55I just wanted a place to belong.
15:57I froze.
15:58Fear and disbelief surged through me.
16:00My hands curled into fists,
16:02breathing hard.
16:03Adrien gritted his teeth.
16:05You!
16:06Are you out of your mind?
16:07He stepped forward and slapped me.
16:10Hard.
16:10The crack echoed in the small room.
16:13My head snapped to the side.
16:14I touched my cheek,
16:16stunned.
16:16Who's his real sister anyway?
16:19Told you.
16:20Selina's just a foster kid.
16:22A human.
16:23My cheek reddened,
16:25but I still stayed,
16:27didn't fight back.
16:28Adrien hesitated,
16:30then stepped closer.
16:31Selina,
16:32I,
16:33I'm sorry.
16:35No need.
16:37Don't tell my dad.
16:38Originally,
16:39he was only scared Lyra would get in trouble.
16:41Fine,
16:42I won't.
16:43But now,
16:44please,
16:44leave.
16:45I need to rest.
16:46I lifted a hand,
16:48gestured them out.
16:48They exchanged a glance,
16:50then exited.
16:51Five days,
16:52then I'm gone.
16:53No more memories here.
16:55None.
16:57I opened my locker.
16:59Inside hangs a silver blue gown.
17:01A note.
17:02For tonight.
17:04Okay,
17:05one last dance before goodbye.
17:07At night,
17:08Beta Cole watched me zip a small suitcase.
17:10Are you sure you don't want to tell Adrien
17:12there's that dance tomorrow?
17:14I'll be there.
17:15I'll tell him who I am.
17:17Before the last dance.
17:19Only one day left before leaving.
17:21Grand Hall.
17:22I entered in the silver blue gown.
17:24They exclaimed in amazement.
17:28Wait,
17:28is that the Cole family Cresp?
17:30That dress is custom made.
17:32But,
17:33I thought Lyra was supposed to be his date.
17:35What's Selena doing with it?
17:36Across the room,
17:38Lyra watched and read.
17:40Jealousy burned.
17:42Cute dress,
17:43Selena.
17:44Too bad it was never meant for you.
17:46If you want it,
17:47it's yours.
17:49Lyra's smile cracked.
17:50She grabbed scissors,
17:52slashed her own gown,
17:53and screamed.
17:54Selena?
17:54How could you?
17:55First you steal the dress Adrien gave me,
17:57and now you destroy mine too?
17:58When will it be enough?
18:02Adrien entered the Grand Hall
18:03and found me with a mask.
18:06He approached excitedly
18:07and extended his hand.
18:09May I have this dance?
18:10Lyra looked up with a trembling smile.
18:13Of course.
18:14Adrien led Le in a twirling dance
18:16across the dance floor.
18:17Out said,
18:18rain pounded me.
18:20I stumbled away from school,
18:22shaked.
18:22My palm flicker's light pulsed beneath the skin.
18:25Not now.
18:26Please.
18:27Beta said someone's waiting for me at the gate.
18:30I just have to make it.
18:31I gripped a lamp post.
18:33Electricity crackled along my arm.
18:36The light above my bursts.
18:38I cried out.
18:39Eyes glowed.
18:40At this time,
18:41a figure emerged from the rain.
18:43Adrien checked his watch.
18:4411.55pm.
18:45He pulled out a small velvet box.
18:48Opened it.
18:49A diamond pendant glowed inside.
18:51Five more minutes.
18:52Until I can finally say it.
18:54He thought.
18:55Bells began to chime.
18:57Midnight.
18:58Adrien reached for Lyra's mask
19:00and lifted it.
19:01Light hit her face.
19:03Lyra?
19:05The night leaned close to my neck.
19:08His eyes glowed red gradually.
19:10His brows furrowed as if he was enduring something.
19:12His lips brushed against my skin.
19:14His voice was low and roughed.
19:17You shouldn't be alone tonight.
19:18The hard burge beneath his crotch
19:20pressed tightly against my bare skin
19:22as night let out a low, raggled breath.
19:25He took hold of my wrist,
19:27the one bearing the mark,
19:28and gently stroked it to my left breast.
19:31Our wrist marks ignited.
19:32In an instant, heat exploded up my arm.
19:36I let out a startled cry.
19:37My eyes flew wide open.
19:39A strange silver light flickered within them.
19:41I clenched my legs tightly,
19:43trembled uncontrollably.
19:44A vacious liquid dampened my panties,
19:46trickled slowly down my thighs.
19:48The silver and red light erupted from their marks
19:50twisted and coiled together.
19:51I can taste your smell.
19:53You're completely mine now.
19:55Night hay-hilled sharply against my neck.
19:58When the light faded,
19:59I was shaking in his arms.
20:01What did you do to me?
20:03You're wet because you chose me.
20:06You claimed me,
20:08and I claimed you.
20:12Maybe I should just call you mate.
20:14Say my name, Night.
20:18I was lost in passion.
20:20My breath stuttered.
20:23Night guided my hand down to my inner thigh,
20:26brushed it through my slip arousal,
20:28then lifted it to his lips
20:30and gently licked my fingers.
20:34Adrian stared at Lyra,
20:36the mask in his hand.
20:37His face crumbled.
20:40Where's Selina?
20:41He asked.
20:43Lyra reached for him.
20:44Panic flashed across her face.
20:46He pulled back.
20:47He turned and burst through the doors into the rain.
20:50Adrian, don't leave me.
20:53Wasn't I the one you wanted?
20:54Her voice broke.
20:56Adrian jumped on his motorcycle.
20:58Headlights cut through rain.
21:00He saw us.
21:01A figure placed me into an SUV.
21:06Selina!
21:07Don't go!
21:08Selina!
21:08Night glanced back,
21:10then looked away.
21:12The SUV pulled away.
21:13Adrian gunned the engine and skidded to a stop,
21:16but the taillights were already disappearing.
21:18He leaped off the bike and ran after them,
21:20but we were gone.
21:22He fell to his knees and slammed his fists into the wet pavement,
21:26again and again.
21:27Selina!
21:31I sat at the long table surrounded by warriors.
21:34Raw meat piled up before me.
21:36Warriors' eyes cut toward me,
21:38cold and contemptuous.
21:39Human food?
21:41She can't even shift.
21:43Weakest Luna we've ever had.
21:44My hands curled in my lap.
21:46His voice cut through the hall like a blade.
21:49She is my mate.
21:50You're Luna.
21:51Show your respect.
21:52Night gestured.
21:54Servants appeared with pancakes,
21:56eggs,
21:56bacon.
21:57They set the plates before me.
21:59We followed you for strength,
22:00not to serve a fragile child.
22:03One of the warriors said.
22:04Night's eyes gleamed.
22:06Next quarter's trials,
22:07she enters the competition.
22:09Shock rippled through the hall.
22:11She'll die.
22:13No, she'll win.
22:15And when she does,
22:16you will kneel to your Luna.
22:18All of you.
22:20Night looked at me.
22:21I lifted my head.
22:22Silver flickered in my eyes.
22:24See you in the arena.
22:29Morning after morning.
22:31Night put me through drills.
22:33Relentless,
22:34unforgiving.
22:35I ran until my legs burned.
22:36I was spared until my body aches.
22:39I fell again and again.
22:41Each time,
22:42night watched.
22:43Cold and unmoving.
22:44One afternoon,
22:46I lunged at him.
22:47He sidestepped and came into the mat
22:49in one fluid motion.
22:51I gasped,
22:52trapped beneath him.
22:53Again.
22:54He said.
22:55I pushed up.
22:56My knee scraped the mat,
22:57blood welled from the wound.
22:59I was breathless.
23:01I can keep going.
23:03Concern flickered in his eyes.
23:05He stopped me.
23:06He released me and stood.
23:08A servant approached
23:09with a small plate.
23:11Cream cake.
23:12Night took it
23:13and lowered himself
23:13to one knee in front of me
23:15between my thighs.
23:16Kids heal faster with sugar.
23:18I'm not a kid.
23:19My face flushed.
23:20He cut a piece
23:22and held the fork to my lips.
23:23I hesitated,
23:25then leaned forward
23:26and took the bite.
23:27As the fork slid out,
23:28a smear of cream
23:29lingered at the corner of my mouth,
23:30and my tongue flicked out
23:32to catch another dab on my lip.
23:33He watched my mouth,
23:35then reached up
23:35and dragged his thumb
23:36slowly across lower lip,
23:38gathered the cream.
23:39His thumb lingered at my lip,
23:40pressed just enough
23:41to part them.
23:42Don't waste.
23:43He said.
23:44I ticked my thumb slowly,
23:46shivered.
23:47Good girl.
23:48I lowered my gaze,
23:50cheeks flushed.
24:03Ready?
24:04I was born ready.
24:30Take me tonight, Knight.
24:40Every night,
24:41for the rest of my life.
24:48Adrian burst through the door.
24:51Beta Cole looked up.
24:52Please,
24:53just tell me where Selene is.
24:55Let her go,
24:56Adrian.
24:57Serene has her own path to follow.
25:00I'm not giving up.
25:02Adrian turned and walked out of the room.
25:04The day was coming.
25:06Thousands of wolves packed the stands.
25:08Their voices rose in a deafening roar.
25:10Look at her,
25:11the human Luna.
25:12A wolf shouted.
25:14She won't last a minute.
25:16Another wolf said.
25:18Knight stood rigid,
25:19arms crossed.
25:20His jaw tightened
25:21as he watched me step into the ring alone.
25:23I faced my opponent,
25:25a massive wolf twice my size.
25:27Muscles coiling under scarred fur.
25:29He circled me, hungry.
25:31I raised my fists.
25:33He lunged.
25:34I dodged.
25:35But his claw caught my arm.
25:37Blood sprayed.
25:38I hit the ground hard.
25:40Pathetic.
25:41Send her home.
25:42A wolf laughed.
25:43I pushed up.
25:44The wolf struck again.
25:46I flew backward,
25:48skidded across the sand.
25:49Blood pooled beneath me.
25:51Knight took a step forward.
25:53The high priest blocked him.
25:55You interfere.
25:56She loses everything.
25:58Knight's hands gripped the railing.
26:00His knuckles went white.
26:01In the ring.
26:02I struggled to my knees.
26:04Then my feet.
26:05One inch at a time.
26:07My legs shook.
26:08But I stood.
26:09The wolf charged for the final blow.
26:11Then a sound tore from my chest.
26:14Not human.
26:15Something ancient.
26:16A howl that shook the arena.
26:18White light exploded outward, blinding.
26:21The wolf skidded to a halt, whimpered.
26:23When the light faded, a massive white wolf stood in the ring.
26:27Fur was like snow.
26:28Eyes were like burning silver.
26:30The opponent snarled and lunged.
26:32The white wolf moved faster than anything alive.
26:35Jaws closed on the attacker's throat.
26:38A single shake.
26:39He flew across the arena and lay still.
26:42White wolf.
26:43That's royal blood.
26:44An elder wolf said with voice trembling.
26:47One by one, the wolves lowered themselves, nailed and pressed their foreheads to the ground.
26:52Then all wolves charged.
26:54Luna!
26:55Luna!
26:55The light shimmered and faded.
26:58I stood again, human now wrapped in cloth.
27:01Trembled but alive, Knight descended into the ring.
27:04He walked to me.
27:05Took my hand and lifted it high for everyone to see.
27:08A motorcycle ripped through the arena gates.
27:10Adrian jumped off and stubbled toward me.
27:13His face pale.
27:15Serene, you're a wolf.
27:20Adrian rushed toward me.
27:22You're a wolf?
27:23How?
27:25You were human.
27:26You've always been...
27:26He reached for me.
27:28Come home with me.
27:30I'll protect you.
27:31Knight stepped between us.
27:32Protect her.
27:33You didn't even know what she was.
27:35Adrian frozen.
27:37He stared at me.
27:39Something about me was different.
27:41The way I held myself.
27:43The light in my eyes.
27:44Like a queen.
27:46What happened?
27:47She awakened.
27:48She's a white wolf.
27:50Your moon packs alpha.
27:52Knight said coldly.
27:53The words hit like a blow.
27:56Adrian's face pales.
27:57Sylvine, I know I don't deserve you now.
28:00But I searched for you for three months.
28:02I never stopped.
28:04I met his eyes calmly.
28:06Lyra is your mate, Adrian.
28:07Not me.
28:08Adrian staggered like I struck him.
28:11Then let me prove it.
28:12A duel.
28:14Winter takes her home.
28:15Wolf warrior leaned forward.
28:17Knight's eyes narrowed.
28:19Fine.
28:20No.
28:20I refuse.
28:22I'm the prize.
28:23Not a prize.
28:24Not for either of you.
28:26I looked at Adrian.
28:28But no less certain.
28:29I won't go back with you.
28:31Not because of Lyra.
28:33Because I finally found my mate.
28:39The crowd fell silent.
28:41Knight's jaw sightened.
28:43Then slowly relaxed.
28:44He walked toward me.
28:46One step.
28:47Then another.
28:48Adrian stood frozen.
28:50Are you sure?
28:51I looked up at him.
28:52Didn't flinch.
28:53I'm sure.
28:54You're my only love.
28:56He tilted my chin up.
28:58Without hesitation.
28:59Knight kissed me.
29:00Acclaim.
29:01And Alpha marked his territory.
29:03I trembled, but didn't pull away.
29:05My fingers gripped his shirt.
29:07A low growl rippled through the wolves.
29:10Shocked and submission tangled together.
29:12Adrian stumbled back like he had been struck by lightning.
29:15Disbelief written all over his face.
29:17Knight broke the kiss.
29:19His voice was calm.
29:21She's my mate.
29:22You can't take her.
29:24I turned to Adrian.
29:25Adrian.
29:26I'm not your home.
29:28Adrian stood frozen.
29:29His face paled and trembled.
29:31Adrian Cole.
29:33You fool.
29:34You let her go once.
29:35And now you can't bear to watch her belong to another.
29:38You deserve this.
29:39Every damn piece of it.
29:42Laya stood before a fireplace.
29:43Hooded.
29:44Several black-clad killers kneeled before me.
29:47Find her.
29:49You know what to do.
29:50The assassin leader nodded.
29:52Selene.
29:53The human girl.
29:55We'll deal with her on the road.
29:56Lyra lifted my head.
29:58A strange satisfaction gleamed in my eyes.
30:01She's not human.
30:01She's Alpha Heart's daughter.
30:03My father died by his hands.
30:05I've waited years for this.
30:08She paused.
30:09Smiles coldly.
30:10She will die before she truly awakens.
30:16Serene, may you always be happy.
30:18Just remember Moonpack is your support.
30:21Adrian walked toward his motorcycle.
30:23I'll send you to the edge of town.
30:25You're still my brother.
30:26Adrian froze for a moment.
30:28Watched me walk toward him.
30:30A bitter smile crossed his face.
30:32From now on, let me protect you from the shadows.
30:36The motorcycle rode along the forest path.
30:38An arrow whistled past my arm.
30:40Black-clothed figures emerged from the trees.
30:43Adrian jumped off the motorcycle with me in his arms.
30:47A blade sliced toward me.
30:49He threw himself in front of it.
30:51The steel bit into his side.
30:53Run!
30:53He conropsted.
30:55Bones cracked.
30:56Fur ripped through skin.
30:58A massive wolf now stood between the assassins and me.
31:01He launched.
31:02Tore into them.
31:03And fought like something feral.
31:05Knight's hand gripped his chest.
31:07The mat marked Burns.
31:09He was already moving.
31:12Adrian fought on.
31:13Wounded.
31:14Three assassins circled him.
31:15A force aimed at me.
31:17A blur of motion.
31:18Knight's blade took the assassin down.
31:20His warriors descended.
31:22The fight ended in seconds.
31:24Knight pulled me against him.
31:25Are you hurt?
31:26I shook my head.
31:28Looked past him at Adrian.
31:29Bleeding.
31:30Human again.
31:31On his knees.
31:32Knight followed my gaze.
31:33Saw the markings on the dead assassins.
31:36Lyra's work.
31:37My face paled.
31:39Adrian struggled to stand.
31:40She wants you dead.
31:42I know.
31:44This day finally came.
31:47Lyra stared into the fire.
31:49Flamed flicker, then twist.
31:51Lyra's face went pale.
31:53Her hands clenched.
31:55The door bruised open.
31:56I stood in the doorway.
31:58A faint silver glow radiating from me.
32:00Adrian and Knight flanked me.
32:02Lyra stumbled back.
32:04Surprised to see me?
32:05I laughed coldly.
32:07Lyra's eyes darted, calculating, desperate.
32:10She opened her mouth to whimper, to play the victim.
32:13What are you going to do to me?
32:15Adrian, help me!
32:17Don't play victim.
32:18You know everything.
32:19Your father tried to steal the alpha title.
32:22He died a traitor.
32:23And you, you've spent years making sure I paid for it.
32:27Adrian looked at Lyra coldly.
32:29You liar.
32:30The dress.
32:31The needle.
32:32It was all you.
32:34Lyra's mask cracked.
32:35Her eyes went cold.
32:37You think I'd let her take everything?
32:39My father died because of her father!
32:41Her body convulsed.
32:43Bones cracked.
32:44Fur rips through skin.
32:46A dark wolf lunged at me, jaws wide.
32:49Knight stepped forward.
32:50My hand stopped him.
32:51Fine.
32:52My body convulsed.
32:54Silver light exploded.
32:55In seconds, a massive white wolf stood in my place.
32:58The two wolves collided.
33:00Teeth teared.
33:01Claws slashed.
33:03They moved in a blur of fur and blood.
33:05The white wolf gained the upper hand.
33:07Jaws closed around the other's throat.
33:09One snap.
33:10Silence.
33:10The dark wolf crumpled.
33:13Shimmered.
33:14Lyra lied still, human again.
33:16Then she becomes ashes.
33:18Light shimmered around me.
33:20I transformed into human again.
33:22I straightened and walked toward the door without looking back.
33:25It's over.
33:28Sunlight streams through towering windows.
33:30The hall was packed.
33:32Wolves stood shoulder by shoulder.
33:34I stood at the center.
33:35Dressed in silver and white.
33:39I looked regal.
33:41Beta Cole and Adrian watched from the front row, eyes glistening.
33:45Knight descended from the throne.
33:47In his hands, a crown, delicate silver, caught light like frozen stars.
33:52I was born ready.
33:55I smiled.
33:56I was born ready.
33:58He placed the crown on my head, then took my hand and lifted it to his lips, kissy knuckles once.
34:03Slow.
34:04Deliberate.
34:05Reveriant.
34:05The hall erupted, howls, tweers, stomping feet.
34:09Then all loudly.
34:13I looked at Knight.
34:14He was already looking at me.
34:16I smiled.
34:18Mountains rise in the distance.
34:20Moonlight pours down like liquid silver.
34:22Two wolves streak across the valley.
34:24One white is me.
34:26One black is Knight.
34:27I leap, tacking the dark one mid-stride.
34:29We tumble together down a grassy slope, a tangle of fur and limbs until we roll to a stop at
34:34the bottom.
34:35Then fur gives way to skin.
34:37Pamping gives way to breathing.
34:39Ragged.
34:40Human.
34:40Close.
34:41We lie tangled together at the base of the slope.
34:44No longer wolves.
34:45My hair spills across his arm.
34:47He lowers his head with a soft smile.
34:50Take me to Knight, Knight.
34:53His mouth finds mine.
34:54Slow at first.
34:55Then deeper.
34:56My fingers slide into his hair.
34:58His hand traces down my side.
35:00Over my hip.
35:02Pulling me closer.
35:03Every night.
35:04For the rest of my life.
35:05The moonlight spills over us.
35:07My head fall back.
35:09His lips find my throat.
35:10A soft sound escapes me.
35:13Our two figures move together in the silver light.
35:15Skin against skin.
35:16Nothing between us now.
35:18The mountains keep watching us.
