Short filmTranscript
00:02In this frigid altar, I can no longer distinguish whether the cold bites at my flesh
00:07or festers deep within my broken soul.
00:09I've guarded this altar for 10 years.
00:1310 years!
00:14I nearly died trying to heal your inner wolf.
00:18And you bring a pregnant woman back here?
00:21Layla, you know how it works.
00:24I can only gain greater power by sighing an heir with a high-blooded she-wolf.
00:29Blame yourself for being nothing but a lowly Omega.
00:33Simus, this little bitch is way too slow.
00:37The pup in my Demly is already protesting!
00:40Layla, don't stop.
00:42Ava is pregnant.
00:44She needs your healing essence to stabilize the baby.
00:48Hell no!
00:50Who told you to stop?
01:03Silas, she's so loud!
01:06Can you shut her up?
01:09Layla, your essence, your blood, your bones, they're all mine!
01:14You don't get to fight back!
01:16Filled with loathing, Silas cast me aside and approached Ava.
01:20He condensed my strength into a soft, glowing golden orb.
01:24At a subtle squeeze of his palm, and they both disappeared without a trace upon the altar.
01:28My fingernails dug into the crevices of the bloodstone.
01:32My vision blurred.
01:34All my power faded.
01:35I returned to my ordinary form and collapsed weakly across the cold stone ground.
01:40The last thing my fading sight caught was that narrow vent window high on the wall.
01:44Deep in the pitch black heart of the cursed woods, a pair of burning gold eyes hung suspended in the
01:49darkness.
01:53If he still, still wants my lunar essence, he should at least let me get medicine for my wounds.
02:03I had the sentinels guarding the altar relay the message to Silas.
02:06He reluctantly agreed.
02:08I dragged my weakened body out of the altar chamber, stumbling with every step.
02:12I was about to cross the central courtyard toward the apothecary when low laughter drifted out from the side hall,
02:17Mara.
02:18I ducked behind a stone pillar on instinct and held my breath.
02:21Mother, how much longer do we have to keep that little bitch around?
02:25Every time I see her playing the devoted mortal for Silas at that altar, it makes me sick.
02:31Patience, sweetheart.
02:32Just a few more days.
02:33After the next full moon, once Silas drains the last of her lunar essences, I'll slip liquid silver into her
02:39sleeping draught.
02:40An omega dying of exhaustion?
02:41No one will suspect a thing.
02:49Baby.
02:51Hiding here and eavesdropping, that's not a good habit.
02:56What did you hear?
02:57Those little jokes about Ava?
02:59Silas?
03:01Are you really planning to drain me dry and then kill me with liquid silver?
03:04Shh!
03:04Layla.
03:05Don't listen to that scenage old woman.
03:07How could I ever bear to let anything happen to you?
03:12Ava was just politics.
03:14Her family's support.
03:15That's all I needed.
03:16Once I have the position secured, she and that pup mean nothing.
03:20You're the one I keep.
03:22All of this has been for our future.
03:24I pretended to believe him.
03:26The moment his guard dropped...
03:34Damn it!
03:35You insane little bitch!
03:37Seize her!
03:38I shoved him back and sprinted through the narrow door at the end of the corridor, the passage to the
03:42cursed woods, and plunged into the endless darkness.
03:45A voice exploded through the blackness.
03:48Well, well, little thing.
03:50Tell me, did you come to offer yourself to me?
03:55Layla!
03:58Come back now, and I might still forgive you!
04:01If you wake the thing in there, it'll tear us all apart!
04:04I stumbled into a vast stone cavern choked with dead, withered vines.
04:10At the center, they bound a huge, motionless figure.
04:14I grabbed a sharp rock and slashed open my palm.
04:17Blood gushed from my palm.
04:19If the legends are true, if you really crave blood that badly, then take mine.
04:24Just don't let me die at his hands.
04:3220 years.
04:35And the one who breaks my chains is an omega.
04:43With the purest healing essence I've ever tasted, offering me her blood like a bargain.
04:50I was like a lamb marked for slaughter.
04:52Layla!
04:53He charged in with a dozen black rich warriors.
04:55Terror crashed over me once again.
04:58No.
04:58Impossible.
04:59The seal hasn't expired yet.
05:02Those chains were made with...
05:03Made with what?
05:05Silver alloy?
05:07Forbidden runes?
05:09Soul eater venom?
05:11She's my mate!
05:12She belongs to Blackridge!
05:14You have no right!
05:15You say she's your mate?
05:17But her blood is rejecting your scent.
05:20You call that a mate?
05:21I'd call that prey.
05:24A sharp, cutting presence began to radiate from him, growing stronger by the second.
05:29It rose higher and higher, towering above the other piece, marching to the stars, casting
05:34the past.
05:34The torchlight barely flickered, and Killian was already in front of Silas.
05:40He grabbed Silas by the throat and hurled him away.
05:44Take your people.
05:46Leave.
05:47She's just a lowly Omega.
05:49She's worth this much to you?
05:50Hand her over.
05:51I can offer you things worth a thousand times more.
05:54I won't say it again.
05:56Leave.
05:57Move!
05:58Now!
05:59Now!
06:06Your blood broke my seal.
06:09You're mine now.
06:10What?
06:15I don't belong to anyone.
06:17Who the hell are you?
06:20Years ago, I gave my grandmother's bracelet to Silas's mother.
06:24I had been foolish enough to treat her like family, believing the raw moonstone on the bracelet
06:28could heal her frail body.
06:30Now I was taking it back.
06:32A few months later, I timed my move and snuck into the Blackridge Central Hall.
06:37Mara assumed that I was still the same helpless Omega with nothing to her name.
06:43Layla, you're finally here.
06:46I know you blame Silas, but I've always treated you like my own daughter.
06:50That conniving bitch Ava.
06:52She said your mother's things were bad luck, wanted to throw them away.
06:56I...
06:56I fought to get it back for you.
07:00Come here, sweet girl.
07:02This belongs to you.
07:04It always did.
07:05Let me put it back where it should be.
07:08To my eyes, all of her weakness was nothing but an act to lure me in.
07:13You little bitch!
07:15How dare you lay a hand on me!
07:20Are you done acting yet?
07:22Or was this silver bagger your real farewell gift?
07:28Mara wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and smiled.
07:32Bold.
07:33Seems like these few months away from Blackbirth taught you a thing or two.
07:39Give me the bracelet back.
07:45The bracelet?
07:47Give it back!
07:48Then again, the fact that you snuck into the Blackridge Central Hall all by yourself, that does surprise me.
07:55Did you really think Blackridge's defenses were that easy to get through?
08:00The four side doors behind me burst open at once.
08:03Twelve armed Blackridge elites poured in.
08:05At their center stood Silas.
08:07Layla.
08:09Long time no see.
08:11I froze.
08:12It was a trap.
08:13All of it.
08:14I mustered all my strength.
08:16Only one thought remained.
08:18Kill Mara.
08:19I reversed my grip on the dagger and drove it at Mara's chest.
08:34You psycho!
08:35You actually stabbed me!
08:37Her voice shifted from a scream to something low.
08:41Fine!
08:41Fine!
08:42Layla!
08:43Layla!
08:43I raised you for ten years!
08:45Ten years!
08:46Ten years!
08:47And this is how you repay me?
08:49Silas suddenly pressed my face hard against his cold bones.
08:53Layla.
08:54You really did give me one hell of a surprise.
08:58Two warriors rushed forward.
09:00Silver chains wrapped around my wrists and bound them behind my back.
09:05Layla.
09:06Since you refused to go back to the altar, I'll grant your wish.
09:10You can channel every last drop of your essence to me right here.
09:14In your dreams.
09:17Dreams?
09:18His hand closed around my throat.
09:20Golden lunar essence poured from my neck into his palm.
09:23Silver chains rattled behind me.
09:25My body arched in agony.
09:27Suddenly, death and crash.
09:29The glass came in the sea.
09:31Shattered like an eggshell.
09:33Rubble and dust rained down.
09:44Who did this?
09:46No one answered.
09:48His fury ignited in an instant, a searing orb of golden flame roaring to life in his palm.
09:53He resembled a solitary wolf trapped in age-long slumber amid the frigid snow-capped peaks,
09:57and I was the one who roused the beast within him, burning gold eyes blazing through the dust and debris.
10:02He walked toward me.
10:03With every step, stone cracked beneath his feet.
10:07Fractures spread across the floor like a spider web.
10:10He crouched beside me and lifted me from the rubble with impossible care.
10:16Killen.
10:17She's my mate.
10:19I'm disciplining my own woman.
10:21What business is it of yours?
10:22Your woman.
11:00I'm disciplining my own woman.
11:11That's it.
11:17Who the hell are you?
11:21A worthless Omega is worth all this?
11:23Killen's arm whipped forward.
11:25Silas slammed into a stone pillar 30 feet away.
11:28Killen bent down and picked up the silver chain that had bound my hands.
11:31He looped it around Silas's neck.
11:34Silas looked like a dog on a leash.
11:36Killen dragged the chain two steps toward me.
11:38I'm sorry, Layla.
11:42Please, put in a word for me.
11:44Let me go.
11:46Killen glanced down at him, then released the chain and kicked him aside.
11:49I used every last bit of my strength to dig through the rubble,
11:52searching for my grandmother's bracelet.
11:54Sharp gravel lacerated my fingers.
11:56At last, I unearthed the bracelet beneath the rubble and hope rekindled deep within my soul.
12:02Killen bent down and lifted me out of the debris.
12:04His eyes fell on the bracelet in my hand.
12:15Killen frantically inhaled my scent.
12:17Strangely, I froze in place and did not push him away.
12:24Killen brought me to a cave in the cursed woods to heal.
12:27But my revenge was mine to take.
12:29Besides, I still had no idea what Killen truly was.
12:32For all I knew, he could have been no better than Silas.
12:36Blood Moon Knight
12:37Word had spread across the entire Shifter world that the Black Ridge Pack was about to welcome a new Luna.
12:43The Black Ridge Great Hall glittered with light.
12:45Hundreds of wolves in formal attire filled the space.
12:48Torches blazed against the vaulted ceiling, casting everything in gold.
12:55Blood Moon Knight
12:58Witnessed by all wolves
13:00Black Ridge Alpha Silas
13:02Hereby formally marks his mate Ava as Black Ridge Luna.
13:07Silas leaned down, his lips moving toward the back of Ava's neck.
13:12Wait!
13:12Every pair of eyes in the hall snapped toward me.
13:19Where did this little...
13:22You all came here to watch Black Ridge crown a Luna.
13:25So look carefully.
13:28Would a truly powerful Alpha
13:31need to chain an Omega underground and drain her essence night after night
13:36just to make himself stronger?
13:39Layla
13:40What nonsense are you spowing?
13:43Guards
13:44Take her out!
13:45Look closely!
13:49This is where your Black Ridge Alpha gets his strength.
13:52From an Omega he bled dry drop by drop
13:55with these silver chains.
13:59Silas
13:59You're not an Alpha.
14:02You're a parasite.
14:04Layla
14:05I know you hate me.
14:07If I really didn't care about you
14:09I could have replaced you years ago.
14:12Why did I keep you?
14:14Because I can't live without you, Layla.
14:16It's not just your essence.
14:18It's you.
14:20I was wrong.
14:21I know I was wrong.
14:22But Layla
14:23It's not too late to change.
14:26Today's marking ceremony is cancelled.
14:30Cancelled.
14:30What?
14:33Silas, you...
14:34I said
14:35Cancelled.
14:37Layla
14:38I'll mark you right now.
14:41In front of everyone.
14:43I'll make you the true Luna of Black Ridge.
14:48Simus, you really are one hell of an actor.
14:51But I, Layla, reject this unfaithful bond.
14:59You worthless, Omega.
15:01You don't get to say no.
15:03You don't get to say anything.
15:09The black stone doors exploded inward
15:11as if something monstrous had struck them from the other side.
15:15Shards of stone tore through the hall.
15:17Wolves dove for cover.
15:18The hand around my throat began to rot rapidly.
15:21Silas screamed.
15:28Killian had appeared behind me.
15:30No one saw one.
15:31One hand scooped my limp body into his arms.
15:34I just heard...
15:37Someone wanted her dead.
15:40The Lycan king!
15:41It's the legendary Lycan king!
15:43No one touches you again.
15:45No one.
15:47You're mine, Layla.
15:49And I don't let go of what's mine.
15:51Killian's fingers traced the back of my neck.
15:54Heat seared through my skin.
15:56The mark of the Lycan king burned into existence.
15:59All units, move out!
16:01Outside the Black Ridge Great Hall,
16:03rain poured down in sheets.
16:05Don't be afraid of the Lyon name!
16:08Killian just woke up!
16:09He's nowhere near full strength!
16:11Kill him!
16:12Bring Layla back!
16:14Killian grabbed me
16:15and threw us both off the castle wall.
16:21Killian, you're bleeding!
16:22Just a scratch.
16:23Move.
16:24A massive gray wolf burst from the tree lane
16:26and lunged straight through the throat.
16:28Killian didn't walk.
16:30He fed at his forearm.
16:32The wolf's jaws clamped down with a wet crunch.
16:34I heard bone grind.
16:36He grabbed the wolf by the scruff
16:38with his free hand and wrenched.
16:40The animal's neck twisted at a wrong angle.
16:42He pried the dead mouth open with his fingers.
16:45Blood poured down his wrist.
16:47Behind me.
16:49Like he hadn't just let a wolf chew through his arm,
16:52more wolves poured from the tree line.
16:54At the front was a huge brown wolf covered in scars.
16:57Draven, Black Ridge's beta.
17:02Killian!
17:03Alpha gave the order.
17:05Hand over the Omega
17:06and I might make this quick.
17:08How generous.
17:11When I say go,
17:12you run north.
17:13Don't stop.
17:14Don't look back.
17:15Make it to the Grey Mist River
17:16and you're safe.
17:17It's neutral ground.
17:18No Pax forces can enter.
17:21What about you?
17:22I'll be busy kicking their asses.
17:26The dense forest.
17:28Pouring rain.
17:29I ran north as hard as I could.
17:31When I looked back,
17:33I saw Killian shift.
17:34The instant his spine arched,
17:37a roar tore from his throat
17:38and shook the canopy overhead.
17:39His body swelled monstrously,
17:42pitch black for ripping through skin.
17:44Claws shot from his fingers,
17:46long as daggers.
17:47When I looked back,
17:48a pure black wolf towered over the field,
17:51golden eyes blazing,
17:52far larger than any alpha form I had ever seen.
17:57I forced myself to look ahead and ran.
18:00Branches lashed my face.
18:02Thorns tore at my sleeves.
18:04Rock slammed into my knees,
18:05and blood ran down both legs.
18:07The Grey Mist River appeared ahead of me.
18:10I threw myself into the freezing current.
18:13The far bank.
18:14I crawled up the muddy riverbank,
18:16soaked through,
18:17coughing violently,
18:18shaking all over.
18:20My eyes locked on the opposite shore.
18:22Killian!
18:23No answer.
18:25Killian!
18:26I'd heard the leichen mark
18:27was tied to its master's life.
18:29As long as it stayed warm,
18:31he was alive.
18:32If it turned cold,
18:34I pressed my fingers to the back of my neck.
18:37Suddenly,
18:37a hand shot out from behind
18:39and seized my wrist.
18:40His eyes were a color I had never seen before,
18:43deep violet.
18:44The leichen king's mark.
18:46On an omega.
18:48How's that possible?
18:50Who are you?
18:53You answer me first.
18:56Who gave you that mark?
18:58None of your business.
18:59The pattern.
19:00It's the forbidden crest
19:01of the leichen royal bloodline.
19:03The last person who could carve a mark like this
19:05was my son.
19:06Your son?
19:09My name is Azar.
19:1020 years ago,
19:11I was the leader of the Grey Shadow Clan,
19:13the last guardians of the Lyman royal family.
19:16The Lyman king and queen were killed in the war.
19:18I smuggled the young alpha out of the pack in secret.
19:22I raised him as my son.
19:24His name is Killian.
19:26A flash.
19:2720 years ago.
19:28A boy surrounded by flames,
19:30black fur matted with blood.
19:32A man shoving him out of the encirclement,
19:34only to have half his own face swallowed by the fire.
19:37The boy was swept away by the chaos,
19:39vanishing into the darkness.
19:44After that night,
19:45I never found him.
19:48The Grey Shadow Clan scattered.
19:50I took what was left of our people
19:53and hid in this unclaimed territory.
19:5720 years.
19:58I thought he was dead.
20:00He's not dead.
20:02At least,
20:03he was still alive before I crossed the river.
20:06Come with me.
20:07You stay on that river bank.
20:08You won't last the night.
20:09I followed a czar through the camp.
20:12This place didn't look like a PAX camp.
20:15More like a shelter.
20:18The elderly,
20:19the wounded,
20:20children with bones showing through their skin.
20:22Every wolf who had been cast out,
20:23injured,
20:24or had nowhere else to go,
20:26they all ended up here.
20:27A thin little girl was curled up in the corner of a tent.
20:30There was a deep gash on her lower leg,
20:32inflamed and festering.
20:34That child's wound is infected.
20:36If it's not treated,
20:37the rot will reach the bone.
20:38I know.
20:39But we don't have a healer.
20:41Don't have medicine either.
20:43In this place,
20:44whether you live or die is up to fate.
20:48Let me look at her.
20:51The girl's mother threw herself in front of her child in panic.
20:54Who are you?
20:55Don't touch my daughter!
20:57I crouched down,
20:58keeping my voice as gentle as I could.
21:00I won't hurt her.
21:03I just...
21:04know a little bit about healing.
21:06I held my hand over the girl's wound.
21:08A thread of dark golden light seeped from my fingertips,
21:11so feigned it was barely visible,
21:13but the festering skin around the wound began to close,
21:16right before our eyes.
21:17The girl's mother clapped her hand over her mouth in shock.
21:20Azar's dark violet eyes contracted sharply.
21:24Luna essence.
21:25She doesn't even know what she is.
21:30The next day,
21:31a line of old, sick, and wounded wolves stretched out in front of me.
21:35I re-bandaged an old man's broken ribs.
21:38Light seeped through the gaps between my fingers,
21:40and the pained look on his face slowly eased.
21:44I cleaned the stump wound of a young wolf who had lost his left arm.
21:47I fed herbal broth to three feverish pups.
21:50The smallest one was so delirious from the fever that his tiny hand grabbed my finger and wouldn't let go.
21:55A czar stood at a distance, arms folded, watching all of it.
21:59Chief, who is this woman?
22:02Those wounds, we spent months trying to treat them and got nowhere.
22:04She touches them once and...
22:07Don't ask.
22:09Just keep an eye on her.
22:11But Chief, word's already getting out.
22:14The strays are spreading it everywhere.
22:16Saying an omega with lunar essence has shown up in the unclaimed territories.
22:23Night.
22:23I sat by the campfire at the edge of camp and pulled a fur pelt over the smallest pup.
22:28In his sleep, he had shifted into wolf form, a palm-sized gray pup curled into a ball.
22:33You're worried about him.
22:35Your ex.
22:37The Black Ridge Alpha.
22:40He won't let this go.
22:42You know that, right?
22:44I know.
22:46The unclaimed territories may be neutral ground.
22:48No PAX forces can enter.
22:50But Simus isn't someone who plays by the rules.
22:54I know.
22:55So what are you gonna do?
22:57I looked down at the sleeping pop in my arms.
