Short filmTranscript
00:00My clan was slaughtered when I was 17.
00:04The council accused us of selling forbidden healing magic to enemy packs.
00:10Our house was burned in a night.
00:17They killed all my love.
00:20My mother hid me in a pile of junk.
00:23So I survived.
00:25But someone found me.
00:27Then I was dragged to the underground blood market.
00:30I was covered in blood.
00:32Locked in an iron cage.
00:36I thought I was going to die.
00:39The Alpha of the Southern Pack wants to buy me as a slave.
00:45Then Kylan arrived.
00:47The Alpha of the Northern Pack.
00:50He fought through the Southern Pack to get me out.
00:53He blocked a silver blade meant for my heart.
00:55The poison spread fast in his body and his lips turned purple.
01:01His inner wolf was dying.
01:03I watched him lie in my arms.
01:06I owed him everything.
01:08So we completed the bond in a broken cabin at the edge of the forest.
01:14I took care of him every day as he lies weak in bed.
01:18Until a year later, when I got pregnant, the pup was dying.
01:23It is too weak.
01:24I touched my belly.
01:28I needed expensive herbs.
01:30But we had nothing.
01:32So I applied for a job at Flora's underground potion den.
01:36Kylan didn't know.
01:37He was too fragile to worry about money.
01:41Now I finished stitching up a wounded rogue in the back room.
01:46I gathered my things and headed for the back exit.
01:50But then...
01:51Council still believes I'm crippled.
01:52I heard a very familiar voice.
01:54Perfect.
01:56Through the crack in the door, I saw a man sitting there.
02:00The pup is not part of the plan.
02:02Speaking with careless ease.
02:05Inna won't accept another woman's child.
02:07I pressed myself against the wall.
02:10My hand on my stomach.
02:12He was my mate.
02:14He was supposed to be dying in bed.
02:17There was another man in the room.
02:19His beta, Ronan.
02:20I had seen him once before.
02:22What about the pup?
02:23My hand moved to my belly.
02:25The pup is not part of the plan.
02:28Inna won't accept another woman's child.
02:30I'll handle it.
02:33You mean...
02:36I mean it won't be born.
02:39And Allara?
02:41Just a tool.
02:43If Inna didn't need that ancient Granarar to build her reputation as a healer,
02:47I would never have made it a slave from the blood market.
02:51Her healer bloodline purifies the silver in my system.
02:54Her scent masks my alpha presence.
02:57That's all she's good for.
02:59When you don't need her anymore?
03:02I threw her away.
03:04He smiled coldly.
03:08She was never my mate.
03:11Inna is the only one who matters.
03:13My chest burned.
03:16The healing crystal around my neck started to crack.
03:20Once Inna becomes Luna,
03:23Ilarra becomes a liability.
03:25Send more rogues.
03:27And make sure that pup never breathes.
03:31The crystal exploded.
03:33Green shards scattered across the stone floor.
03:36Who is there?
03:38I ran through the back corridors.
03:40Ilarra!
03:43Ilarra caught my arm, pulled me into a hidden alcove.
03:48What happened?
03:49My voice cracked.
03:51He's not sick.
03:53He was never sick.
03:54It's all fake.
03:56He's planning to kill my baby.
03:59Then you need to disappear.
04:01Tonight.
04:04Where?
04:05Silver Moon Sanctuary.
04:08She pressed a silver token into my palm.
04:12The healers there answer to no alpha.
04:15Show this at the gate.
04:16Tell them I sent you.
04:17I looked at the crescent moon etched into the metal.
04:20But first...
04:23I closed my fist around it.
04:28I need to break the mate wand.
04:31I returned to our little cabin.
04:34I found the floorboard near the bed was torn open.
04:38I hid my master's grimoire under it.
04:40It was the only thing my master left me before she died.
04:46I knelt on the ground.
04:47Then I smelled a trace of magic in the air.
04:50I followed it into the forest.
04:52I crouched behind a thick oak and saw them.
04:56Kylan.
04:56And beside him was Ina.
04:58She was clinging to his arm and holding my grimoire.
05:02With this, the council will believe I'm a gifted healer.
05:06I'll finally can be your Luna.
05:10Kylan stroked her hair.
05:12You've waited long enough.
05:14What about her?
05:16That Omega?
05:18I'll sever the bond tonight.
05:20You promise?
05:22I promise.
05:23You are my only mate.
05:25He tilted her chin up.
05:26She was never anything but a placeholder.
05:29Ina smiled and rose on her toes to kiss him.
05:31I pressed my hand over my mouth to keep from screaming.
05:34My hands wouldn't stop shaking.
05:36But he didn't deserve my tears anymore.
05:39An hour later, the door creaked open.
05:41Kylan shuffled in.
05:43His shoulders hunched.
05:46Alara?
05:47You're still awake?
05:49I sat by the cold fireplace, staring at nothing.
05:52I couldn't sleep.
05:53He limped toward me, sat down beside me with a heavy sigh.
05:57I found something today.
05:59He pulled out a small stone from his pocket.
06:02In the forest?
06:03It was pale white, glowing faintly under the moonlight.
06:06An oath stone.
06:07He whispered.
06:08Do you know what this is?
06:10I looked at it.
06:11I knew exactly what it was.
06:12They say if mates both offer their blood to the stone, the moon goddess will bless their bond.
06:17She'll protect our pup.
06:19And maybe...
06:20Maybe she'll let me live longer, too.
06:23Will you do it?
06:25For us?
06:26For our baby?
06:27I stared at the stone in his palm.
06:30It is an oath stone.
06:32But not for blessings.
06:34It breaks a mate bond permanently.
06:37Once I bled on it, I would lose all rights as his mate.
06:41Alara?
06:42He tilted his head, playing concerned.
06:44You don't have to if you're scared.
06:45I took the stone from his hand.
06:47No.
06:48I'll do it.
06:49Are you sure?
06:51For our baby.
06:52I met his gaze and nodded.
06:53I'd do anything.
06:54I bit my finger, let the blood drip onto the cold white surface.
06:59The stone flashed once and went dark.
07:04He hugged me.
07:05I love you, Alara.
07:07You've given me everything.
07:09I stayed up all night in the darkness.
07:11At dawn, Kylan was awake.
07:13He shuffled to the stove slowly.
07:16I watched him measure herbs into a pot, his hands trembling.
07:23He carried a steaming bowl toward me.
07:27I made something for you.
07:29For the baby.
07:30To help stabilize your pregnancy.
07:32You made this yourself?
07:34I found the herbs in the forest yesterday.
07:36I know I can't do much, but I wanted to help.
07:38Please drink it as it's warm.
07:39He placed the bowl in my hands.
07:41I drank it all.
07:45I handed the empty bowl back to him.
07:47Take a good rest, Alara.
07:49I'll see you tonight.
07:50He kissed my forehead and limped out the door.
07:57I gathered my bag and took the silver token.
08:03Alara!
08:05Are you ready to go?
08:06Flora's carriage was parked outside.
08:08And she was waving at me.
08:10The carriage rolled through the forest.
08:13You did the right thing.
08:15Silvermoon will protect you.
08:17You can start over.
08:18I nodded, my hand resting on her stomach.
08:21I shifted in my seat, trying to breathe through it.
08:24But I felt worse.
08:25My stomach hurts even more.
08:27My face and went pale.
08:29I gasped.
08:30Flora!
08:32Stop the carriage!
08:34Alara, what's wrong?
08:36I looked down.
08:38Blood was soaking through my dress.
08:40Spreading across the seat, dripping onto the floor.
08:44The puppy.
08:45Something's wrong with the pup.
08:47Flora pressed her hands to my belly.
08:49Her palms glowing green.
08:51It's silver toxicity.
08:52Enough to kill a pup in hours.
08:54What did you drink this morning?
09:00The herbs.
09:02Kaelin made it.
09:04Flora stopped the carriage.
09:06She carried me out and laid me on the frozen ground.
09:10Please, save my pup.
09:12Please.
09:13I'm so sorry.
09:15The poison is too strong.
09:16There's nothing I can do.
09:18My baby was gone.
09:20I screamed until my throat tore.
09:22I clawed at the ground until my fingers bled.
09:25Alara, we need to move.
09:27You need the treatment.
09:28You need to get up.
09:30You need to survive.
09:38I sliced my palm and let the blood drip onto the frozen ground.
09:42Then I looked up at the moon.
09:44I swear on my blood and my wolf.
09:46Kaelin is no longer my mate.
09:48He is dead to me, now and forever.
09:51My blood will never flow for him.
09:53My magic will never heal him.
09:56My life belongs to no one but myself.
09:58Flora helped me stand.
10:00My legs were weak, but my spine was straight.
10:03Take me to Silvermoon.
10:05Please.
10:06I climbed back into the carriage.
10:09The carriage sped through the forest.
10:12Six months later, Silvermoon's sanctuary was sacred.
10:16Grand.
10:17Crystal towers rose into the clouds.
10:19Healers from across the realm came here to learn, to serve, to rise.
10:24I rose faster than anyone.
10:27Flora gave me a gift.
10:28It is an ancient grimoire of witch magic.
10:31It awakened the witch bloodline my mother passed down inside me.
10:37Within three months, I mastered spells that took others decades.
10:41Let's see what you can do.
10:45Within six, the council named me High Priestess.
10:50I stood on the healing platform surrounded by apprentices.
10:53I was finishing a purification ritual on a poisoned alpha from the Eastern Pack.
10:58High Priestess Alara.
10:59The patient's silver corruption has been fully cleansed.
11:02I nodded and stepped back.
11:04Green light faded from my hands.
11:07They said you were the best healer in the realm.
11:10He struggled to sit up.
11:16The great hall of the Northern Pack was filled with wolves.
11:19Banners hung from the ceiling.
11:22Musicians played.
11:23Ina walked toward him in a gown of white and silver.
11:27She took his hand.
11:31Finally, I've waited so long for this coronation.
11:34Kaelin opened his mouth to respond and hit the floor hard, clawing at his chest.
11:39Black veins spread across his skin.
11:42Ina dropped beside him.
11:44Kaelin!
11:45What's wrong?
11:46What's happening?
11:47The poison!
11:49It's coming back.
11:52That's impossible!
11:53You said the poison was under control!
11:55It was.
11:56She was controlling it.
11:58Her healing aura.
12:00Without her-
12:01His voice broke into a scream.
12:03Ina stumbled back, horrified.
12:06Ronin pushed through the crowd and knelt beside him.
12:08Alpha, talk to me.
12:09What do you need?
12:10I can't feel anything.
12:11Where the bond was, there's nothing.
12:13It's like a hole eating me from the inside.
12:15Ronin exchanged a look with Ina.
12:17Get a healer!
12:18Now!
12:20Three healers rushed in and pressed their hands to Kaelin's chest.
12:29It's spreading faster than we can purify.
12:31Then try harder!
12:32My lady, we can't.
12:34There's only one person in the realm with enough power to cleanse this level of corruption.
12:39Who?
12:40The High Priestess of Silvermoon.
12:42They say she can purify anything.
12:44No!
12:45I won't allow it!
12:46Find someone else!
12:47There is no one else.
12:49Without her, the Alpha will be dead within a month.
12:52Kaelin forced himself onto his knees, sweat dripping down his face.
12:56Where is Silvermoon?
12:57Three days north, but-
12:59He was already stumbling toward the door.
13:03Ina grabbed his arm.
13:04No!
13:04Kaelin!
13:05You can't go crawling to that Omega!
13:07She's nothing!
13:08She's the only one who can save me.
13:10He shifted into his wolf form and disappeared into the darkness.
13:14What the hell?
13:15Three days later, I was tending herbs in the Sanctuary Garden when I caught his scent.
13:22I turned around.
13:24Kaelin stood at the garden entrance.
13:26His skin had turned gray.
13:29Black veins crawled up his neck and across his jaw.
13:32Alara.
13:34I found you.
13:37I set down my basket and faced him.
13:40How did you get past the barrier?
13:43They believed me because it's true.
13:48And what do you want me to do about it?
13:50He reached toward me with a trembling hand.
13:55Help me.
13:57Please.
13:58I know I don't deserve it, but I'm begging you.
14:01I made a mistake, Alara.
14:03Gears spilled down his hollow cheeks.
14:05Ina meant nothing.
14:06She was just-
14:07I was stupid.
14:10I didn't understand what I had until I lost you.
14:15You didn't lose me.
14:16I feel no care anymore.
14:17You threw me away like a piece of shit.
14:22I know.
14:23I know what I did.
14:26And I will spend the rest of my life making it up to you.
14:30The rest of your life?
14:31I look down at him.
14:32You just said you're dying.
14:35He grabbed the hem of my robe.
14:37Then save me and I'll prove it.
14:39I'll give you everything.
14:40My pack.
14:41My title.
14:42Anything you want.
14:45Anything I want?
14:46Yes.
14:47Anything.
14:48I crouched down so we were eye to eye.
14:51Can you give me back my pup?
14:55What?
14:56The color drained from his face.
14:58My pup.
15:01The one you poisoned.
15:03I watched his expression crumble.
15:06The one that bled out of me on the road to Silvermoth while I screamed for hours.
15:11He shook his head frantically.
15:13No.
15:14No.
15:15That wasn't-
15:16Ina told me the tea was just herbs to help you sleep.
15:19I didn't know.
15:20You didn't know?
15:21I stood up slowly.
15:25You handed me yourself.
15:28You watched me drink it.
15:31Alara, I swear I didn't know what was in it.
15:33I raised my hand and let the magic build in my palm.
15:37Alara, wait!
15:39I released it.
15:41A blast of green light slammed into his chest and pinned him against the stone wall.
15:45He choked, struggling for air.
15:49Alara, please.
15:54I walked toward him slowly, pulling a silver dagger from my belt.
15:58You don't get to say my name.
16:01You lost that right when you murdered my baby.
16:04Please.
16:05I pressed the blade against his throat.
16:07I didn't want to hurt you.
16:09But you did.
16:11I pushed the blade harder until a thin line of blood ran down his neck.
16:15The granamore you gave to your whore.
16:20The poison you put in my hands.
16:24His eyes were wide with terror.
16:26I loved you.
16:33Little did I know it was poison.
16:38I gave you everything I had.
16:41And you used me like a tool and threw me away.
16:46Tears streamed down his face.
16:47Tears streamed down his face.
16:49I was wrong.
16:51I was so wrong.
16:53Alara, please.
16:54Give me one more chance.
16:57One more chance?
17:00I laughed.
17:02You want to know what I want?
17:05He nodded.
17:07I want you to suffer.
17:12I released the spell.
17:15Kaelin crashed to the ground, gasping and coughing.
17:19He tried to push himself up, but his arms gave out.
17:23I stood over him, watching him struggle.
17:26The silver in your blood will kill you within a month.
17:29Maybe less.
17:31Your inner wolf will rot from the inside out.
17:34Alara!
17:36Don't do this!
17:37I need you!
17:39Without the bond, I feel like I'm losing my mind.
17:44That emptiness you feel?
17:46I hope it eats you alive.
17:48I crouch down.
17:49Please!
17:50If you ever come near me again,
17:52I will burn your inner wolf to ash.
17:56I will make sure you feel every second of it.
18:01I stood and turned to the sanctuary guards gathered at the garden edge.
18:07Throw him out.
18:08If he resists, break his legs.
18:11Guards threw swords and advanced on him.
18:14Wait!
18:15He scrambled backward, holding up his hands.
18:18Wait!
18:18I have something!
18:20I have something!
18:22Something you want!
18:23I paused but didn't turn around.
18:26Alara, please!
18:28Just look!
18:34The ancient Granamore.
18:35I got it back.
18:37I took it from Ina.
18:38She didn't want to give it up, but I made her!
18:40I turned slowly.
18:42It's yours.
18:44It always was.
18:45I should never have taken it.
18:48Please, Alara.
18:50Take it back.
18:52I walked toward him, took the grimoire from his hands.
18:54The leather was worn.
18:56The pages were stained.
18:59She used it.
19:01I flipped through the pages.
19:03She touched every spell.
19:06Every recipe my master wrote with her own hands.
19:09I know, but...
19:10Did you know she couldn't even read half of it?
19:16She used my master's work to build a fake reputation, and she couldn't even understand what she was doing.
19:22Alara, I'm sorry.
19:24This was the only thing I had left of my master.
19:28And you gave it to your whore!
19:31I'll make it up to you.
19:32No.
19:34You won't.
19:37I summoned a flame in my palm and set the grimoire on fire.
19:45No!
19:47What are you doing?
19:49That was priceless!
19:51I watched the pages curl and blacken.
19:55You're insane.
19:57You destroyed your own.
19:59I destroyed nothing.
20:02Flora already helped me recreate every spell from memory.
20:05I don't need a book contaminated.
20:08I said throw him out.
20:10Alara, wait!
20:11He struggled against their grip.
20:13I'm still the Alpha of the Northern Pack.
20:15I have warriors.
20:17Resources.
20:18I can give you...
20:20He closed his eyes, concentrating, and then his face went white.
20:24Let me guess.
20:25I crossed my arms.
20:27No one's answering.
20:30That's impossible.
20:31Ronan would never...
20:33My warriors are loyal.
20:34They would never abandon me!
20:36I have news from the Council.
20:37Flora walked into the garden.
20:39A sealed letter in her hand.
20:41What did you do?
20:44Me?
20:45Nothing.
20:46Your precious Inna, on the other hand, has been very busy.
20:50She broke the seal and unfolded the letter.
20:53By order of the Elder Council,
20:56Caelan of the Northern Pack is hereby stripped of his Alpha title and all associated lands, warriors, and assetis.
21:02That's not possible.
21:04On what grounds?
21:05Treason.
21:06Evidence conspired with enemy packs include signed blood contracts and territorial agreements.
21:12I never signed anything like that!
21:15Flora folded the letter.
21:17Of course you didn't.
21:20But Inna did.
21:22She forged your Sost signature perfectly.
21:25That's a lie!
21:27Flora shrugged.
21:28The Council doesn't think so.
21:30They've already appointed a new Alpha.
21:32Caelan, you spent a year pretending to be a crippled, powerless rogue.
21:39She patted his cheek.
21:42Congratulations.
21:44Now it's real.
21:46Everything.
21:47I lost everything.
21:49He grabbed my ankle.
21:50Elora.
21:51Please.
21:52You're all I have left.
21:54Without you, without my pack, I have nothing.
21:57I'll die out there.
21:59The silver is killing me.
22:01I have no healers.
22:03No allies.
22:04No territory.
22:05Then die.
22:06I stood up and nodded to the guards.
22:09Get him out of my sanctuary.
22:11Caelan still had one goal left.
22:14Inna.
22:14He tracked her scent to the cabin where he and Elora once lived.
22:18I have nothing left.
22:20My pack.
22:21My power.
22:22My mate.
22:23All gone.
22:25But I still have one goal left.
22:27Inna.
22:28You ruined me.
22:30You will pay.
22:32At this moment,
22:34Inna was talking to her new boyfriend about the ownership of this land.
22:37And this section, the most fertile lands, goes to your pack.
22:41My strong alpha.
22:44It kicked open a door.
22:48Inna draped across a massive alpha.
22:51Caelan's voice shook with rage.
22:52It's you.
22:53This is the famous Caelan?
22:56Pathetic.
22:56Look at you like a drowned rat.
22:58You took everything from me.
23:00Inna, I'll kill you for what you did.
23:02What I did?
23:03You did it to yourself.
23:04I just handed you the tools.
23:07The poison that killed your precious pup?
23:10I mixed it myself, but you're the one who handed Elosha the cup.
23:13No.
23:15You told me it was just herbs.
23:18And you believed me.
23:20You were so eager to get rid of her, you didn't even ask what was in it.
23:25You killed your own child, Caelan.
23:29Caelan remembered.
23:32I found the herbs in the forest yesterday.
23:34I know I can't do much, but I wanted to help.
23:36Please drink it as it's warm.
23:38Alara drank the poisoned potion because she trusted Caelan.
23:42Caelan was filled with regret.
23:44You bad bitch!
23:45I'll tear you apart!
23:47Caelan emerged.
23:49Caelan collapsed.
23:51Clutching the wound, Inna crouched beside him.
23:54Did you really think you could touch me?
23:56You're nothing now.
23:57No pack.
23:59No power.
24:00No mate.
24:00Alara.
24:01My Alara.
24:02What have I done?
24:03She pulled a small vial from her pocket and forced it between his lips.
24:07What is that?
24:08I don't kill you, but it will take everything else.
24:10Your sanity.
24:11Your humanity.
24:12Caelan turned into a mad wolf.
24:15Because of the poisonous poison, they left coldly, leaving Caelan alone.
24:21I was finishing a purification ritual.
24:24My apprentice rushed in.
24:29My dear high priestess, news from the eastern woods.
24:34What?
24:35A mad rogue was killed three days ago.
24:38He'd been terrorizing travelers for weeks, howling at the moon every night, attacking any
24:43woman who crossed his path.
24:46The alpha of the eastern pack put him down.
24:48They say he screamed a name until the very end.
24:52His voice dropped.
24:55Your name, high priestess.
24:57I sealed the ritual vessel and wiped my hands.
25:03Is that all?
25:05Yes, high priestess.
25:07Then go.
25:09He bowed and left.
25:12Today is judgment day.
25:15Ina of the Northern Territory.
25:17You are charged with forging blood contracts, manipulating sacred mate bonds, conspiracy against
25:23the council, and the murder of an unborn pup.
25:26Ina's head snapped up and found me in the crowd.
25:29You!
25:30This is your fault if you had just died like you were supposed to!
25:35Silence!
25:35The Lycan king said to the executioner.
25:38Execute now.
25:39The executioner stepped forward with a bowl of silver powder.
25:43AHHHHH!
25:44I turned and walked away.
25:46A line of alphas parted to let me pass.
25:48I climbed the steps of Silvermoon's highest tower and looked out at the mountains.
25:53One year ago, I was a slave with nothing but a dead baby and a broken heart.
25:58Now, I was the most powerful healer on the continent.
26:01Blackoble is almost all the dead Germans may have called Angeles.
26:01If you go to the environment, your children.
26:03They're well done.
