Short filmTranscript
00:02the wolves pinned me to the ground claws tore my dress fists cracked against my ribs one after
00:07another this was the blood trial the harder they beat you the more worthy you are as a bride i
00:12didn't fight back i didn't make a sound because the man who was supposed to claim to me tonight
00:16had already carried my sister out the door the pack lands have a savage tradition known as the
00:21blood claiming it demands the alpha steal his mate under the full moon fighting through the
00:25pack's warriors to prove his power and write to her i waited three years for alpha silas finally he
00:31and his wolves slipped into my pack i was ready to run to him until i heard his hushed order
00:36grab
00:36brianna in the chaos she's fragile if she's sold off to the alpha of the silver backpack to settle
00:41the debt she won't survive the night as for alara she'll fight like hell she'll keep herself safe
00:48his warriors hesitated silamus you and alara are already mated if she finds out she'll rain this
00:55pack to ash let her it's dark enough a case of mistaken identity during the claiming will be easy
01:02to explain i'll calm her down later he paused his voice turning icy besides the mating decree she signed
01:09was a forgery we never held the mating ceremony i promised brianna a safe life she's my priority
01:16i heard every word from behind the door i didn't howl i didn't shift i simply stepped back into the
01:23shadows they'd expected me to fight to claw apart anyone who tried to take me instead i silently
01:29climbed onto the back of the wolf who'd broken into my room and became his mate
01:35alara my contact at the council checked you you aren't actually silas's bonded mate i put down the
01:41phone something inside my chest shattered i'd lived as silas's mate for five years all that time
01:46the crescent pack never accepted me his mother never used my name only ever referring to me as
01:51that girl at pack gatherings i was always seated at the farthest table in pack portraits i was placed
01:57at the edge so i could be easily cropped out silas said his mother wouldn't let up until i broke
02:02so he
02:02sent me back to the thorn hollow pack he promised he'd follow our traditions and complete the formal
02:07blood claiming to bring me back as his luna then the crescent pack would have no choice but to accept
02:12me
02:12i waited for three years i'd held my tongue longing for this night but he'd come for another woman he'd
02:18kept me deceived for years with a forged decree all to hide the truth the one he truly meant to
02:23claim
02:23was my half-sister brianna i stared at my reflection my face was empty wolf howl exploded across the
02:29grounds the ritual had begun growls mixed with laughter claws scraped against stone and warriors
02:36put on a show of resisting ritual torches painted half the sky red another group of wolves had come
02:41from the silver backpack they'd originally come for brianna by the rules of the ritual if a she wolf
02:46didn't want to be taken she could hide and send them away empty-handed but brianna didn't hide she
02:52waited in her room to be taken and the wolf she waited for was my mate the room i was
02:56in wasn't mine
02:57it was brianna's that afternoon my stepmother pulled me aside for once her voice was gentle
03:03alora stay in brianna's room tonight yours is too far back too quiet they'll never find you the wolves
03:11coming for brianna are savages you've always been tough you can handle the blood trial brianna is
03:17fragile if she gets caught in the crossfire it'll be a disaster i said nothing i knew exactly what she
03:24he meant by the rules of the blood claiming the alpha's wolves would storm in the she wolf was
03:29expected to fight back with everything she had it was called the blood trial the harder she fought
03:35the more valuable she was considered the alpha had to prove he could pin her down and force her
03:40submission those claws drew real blood my stepmother studied my face testing me besides simus has never
03:47been here at night the front room he'll find you faster back then i'd only wanted to make things
03:52easier for silas i agreed i even sent him my room location through the mind link but they'd been
03:57planning this switch all along a roar of celebration erupted outside we got her the she wolf is ours
04:07howls tore through the night sky one after another spreading across the territory like wildfire i listened
04:13but didn't move i knew exactly who they'd taken i could picture silas carrying brianna through the
04:17crowd his wolves flanking them as pack members lunged and blocked their path brianna would hide her face
04:22against his back pretending to struggle how perfect i lowered my gaze moments later my door was kicked in
04:29a group of wolves flooded into the dark room eyes glowing amber in the black then the blood trial began
04:35someone seized my arm claws biting into skin fists cracked against my spine claws raked across my shoulders
04:41and back the harder the beating the more the pack valued the bride i let them drag me from my
04:46chair
04:46toward the door their claws leaving red trails down my arms at first it felt like a formality
04:51but the violence quickly turned savage someone slammed me into the stone wall fangs snapping inches
04:57from my throat this was intentional the pain was excruciating but i didn't make a sound
05:04i finally understood what my stepmother had meant by calling me tough just when i thought it would never
05:09end a body slammed between us throwing the attackers off me enough it was a stranger's voice sharp with
05:16fury he stood over me claws out and shoved the others back with a snarl that's the rule the harder
05:23we hit
05:24the more she's worth what rule his voice dropped to a dangerous growl canines lengthening
05:30this isn't your mate if someone was tearing into your she wolf like prey would you just stand there
05:36and watch the room went silent he glanced back at me in the shadows i could only make out the
05:42sharp
05:42line of his jaw and the amber flash of his eyes then he bent down and hoisted me onto his
05:47back
05:47who is he he's taking this ritual way too seriously he carried me out in long steady strides
05:53wolves chased after us snapping and lunging but his grip on my legs never wavered when he finally
05:59carried me out of the pack house he paused to catch his breath in the distance the faint glow of
06:04ritual
06:04torches moved that was the other group crossing the corridor i heard their laughter silas was at the
06:12front sweat soaked but wearing a triumphant smile brianna was on his back her arms wrapped tight around his
06:18neck his wolves were cheering i lay silent on the stranger's back as they drew near torchlight flickered
06:26across my face silas's eyes flicked over me for a split second then his gaze moved on turning back
06:32to his wolves as he joked and laughed he didn't recognize me brianna whispered something in his ear
06:38and he leaned in with a soft smile i suddenly thought back to three years ago when i'd returned to
06:44the
06:44horn hollow pack to visit my father and stayed for a while the first time silas came to find me
06:49there
06:49he'd worn that exact same smile
06:54that day my father's warriors put him to the test my father sent a dozen warriors to block him at
06:59the
06:59gates claws out fangs bared they told him to turn back he fought through every single one of them and
07:06showed up at my door bruised bloodied barely standing i asked if it hurt he grinned through the
07:11blood for my mate i'd take a lot worse he was of the proud alpha heir yet he'd taken a
07:18beating from
07:18my father's warriors just for me he always acted like it was nothing but i knew the truth my father's
07:25wolves didn't go easy on outsiders
07:29another time it poured rain he showed up soaked to the bone his shirt torn but the pastries tucked
07:36inside his jacket were still dry he pushed the pastries into my hands smiling didn't want you
07:42to wait too long i held those pastries staring at the cut on his cheek and thought this is the
07:48wolf
07:48i'll spend my life with but now he carried brianna with that exact same smile my vision blurred for a
07:54second then sharpened again when did it all start to change
08:00probably three years ago when my father died i felt completely hollow inside silas cancelled everything
08:07to stay at the thorn hollow pack with me for two weeks
08:11the day he had to leave he took my hand and spoke softly alara you just got through the funeral
08:17and you
08:17look awful if my mother sees you like this she'll start on you again i don't want you putting
08:21up with that just stay here at the room and rest you've always wanted to take over the pack's affairs
08:27right i'll go wake and smooth thing for at home then come get you i looked at him and nodded
08:33i was
08:34truly exhausted from the constant fighting with his mother back then i believed he was looking out for
08:38me that he didn't want me to go back and face those cold stares only later did i realize distance
08:45doesn't create beauty it just makes it easier for him to love someone else last year when his mother
08:51turned 60 silas came to bring me back the moment i stepped inside i saw my stepsister brianna
08:57she was supposed to be in another pack for work but there she was in the main hall arranging things
09:03her movements smooth and familiar silas paused while taking off his coat and explained brianna's
09:09assignment is near our territory she's staying here temporarily there wasn't a trace of guilt in his
09:14voice and i didn't push for more my father didn't take a second mate until i was already grown brianna
09:24was stepmother's daughter we'd never been close over the years we'd only seen each other during gatherings
09:30i couldn't quite put into words how i felt about her staying there when brianna saw me walk in she
09:36called out warmly hey sis don't worry i'm just crashing here for a bit i'll move out once i find
09:41a place i nodded but said nothing back then i never could have imagined for three years i waited alone
09:49in
09:49the thorn hollow pack and all that time my little sister had been working in the crescent pack now
09:55watching brianna on silas's back it all suddenly clicked i hadn't been waiting for him to bring me home
10:00at all i'd been waiting for my heart to die brianna's voice drifted closer on the wind what about
10:07alara if she finds out she'll lose it she's all bark and no bite she'll get over it after throwing
10:14a fit
10:16it's pitch black during the blood claiming i just made a mistake she'll feel sorry for me before she
10:22even gets angry once she finds out i'll just smooth it over brianna laughed softly
10:29my knuckles whitened one of his wolves spoke up suddenly alpha what if someone else claimed alara
10:36the group fell quiet you think she'd let anyone take her without a fight then silas laughed with
10:42that temper of hers she'll tear the place apart tonight true no way a llama goes quietly feel sorry
10:50for that poor bastard wonder what he looks like now the laughter swelled i looked down let's go
10:59he must have heard everything heard them laughing about me heard how they thought i'd rip someone's
11:04throat out but he said nothing he just kept walking at the edge of the thorn hollow territory we ran
11:13straight into them someone from the other side called out kevin his steps halted a quiet yeah silas
11:20moved closer with brianna on his back grinning it really is you you claiming someone tonight too
11:28yeah who i buried my face in killian's shoulder showing only the back of my head
11:34a neighboring family silas stared at me a moment longer then laughed damn man always figured you'd
11:41stay unmade forever congrats killian just grunted silas took a step forward i felt his gaze linger on
11:49my back that look lasted too long long enough i almost thought he'd recognized me let's go wait
11:58silas frowned he was about to speak brianna's voice cut in soft and pained simus my ankle hurts
12:05what's wrong did you twist it earlier i don't know it just aches her voice dropped let's go we need
12:11to get
12:11to your territory before sunrise silas didn't waste another second he nodded at killian gotta run i'll
12:18buy you a drink next time their footsteps faded into the distance killian spoke quietly he really
12:23didn't recognize you i rested my face against his shoulder and said nothing my eyes stung but i didn't
12:29cry he seemed to sense it his pace slowed steps gentle and steady the moon was bright the road stretched
12:36on i had no idea where he was taking me but in that moment i thought anywhere was better than
12:41going
12:41back music filled the crescent pack's great hall the whole place buzzed with celebration wine flowed
12:49freely and wolves danced to old songs this was the feast after a successful blood claiming by tradition
12:56it would last until sunrise silas sat at the edge of the crowd phone in hand the screen lit up
13:01went dark
13:02then lit again no messages from alara that wasn't like her she never kept things bottled up if she'd
13:09found out he'd claimed the wrong she-wolf she would have called screaming by now he already had his
13:13excuses ready it was pitch black don't overthink it you're the only one i want he'd wait for her to
13:20blow up over the phone then talk her down gently she'd hurl some threat and he'd smooth it over
13:26done she never stayed mad at him for long but this time no call no text no yelling one of
13:34his wolves
13:34wandered over with a drink alpha still staring at your phone waiting on alora don't bother signals
13:39dead out here her area gets fine signal then her phone's probably dead or she didn't see it
13:45another wolf chimed in she's probably off tearing someone apart right now everyone laughed silas stayed
13:53quiet alara had once told him i set a special ringtone for your messages don't want to miss
13:58them she'd sit out in the courtyard till midnight just waiting for him to call
14:04he didn't believe she didn't see it but he had no better explanation
14:09all right quit overthinking this is your big night your mates waiting for you what are you doing sitting
14:14here once you've claimed her you stay with her all night finish the ritual silas's frown deepened
14:21i told brianna this was temporary he said quietly i just got her out of there i didn't plan on
14:28didn't
14:28plan on what the wolf cut him off frustrated alpha this is the blood claiming not a game
14:32you took her you finish it otherwise you insult her whole pack besides you and alora have been
14:37together for years she won't care about formalities just get through tonight silas opened his mouth to
14:42argue brianna appeared beside him what are you guys talking about silas froze about to explain
14:47brianna's voice softened simus in our tradition the blood claiming only happens once in a lifetime
14:55i know this one's fake but can we at least finish the ritual she looked up at him her eyes
15:02glistening
15:02i know you love alara but just for tonight can you pretend i'm your luna just tonight
15:11silas said nothing brianna bowed her head her lashes fluttering the crowd started chanting
15:19silas picked up his glass linking arms with brianna firelight danced across both their faces
15:24cheers and laughter erupted around them loud enough to rattle the walls he drank but his eyes kept
15:31straying to the dark road beyond the territory the same road he'd carried brianna down tonight at the
15:37gate he'd run into killian they'd met years ago at annual meetup they'd had a few drinks together
15:43acquaintances at best tonight killian had been carrying someone too said she was from another
15:48family she'd been thin lying quietly on killian's back only a glimpse of her neck was visible the line
15:55of that neck the curve of her bowed head it had felt strangely familiar but brianna had cried out in
16:00pain so he hadn't looked again now thinking back that silhouette silas brianna's voice pulled him back
16:09to the present is that okay he nodded distracted yeah then he stepped aside pulled out his phone and
16:17dialed in lara's number he needed to explain he needed to make sure she didn't misunderstand
16:22finally someone picked up hello a middle-aged woman's voice
16:30silas blinked let me talk to alara alora the woman paused
16:36she's not here we're packing up her stuff to send over send over send where
16:43alora never lets her phone leave her her hand where are you sending her things
16:48the woman on the other end hesitated not expecting the question i'm alora's aunt we have
16:54to pack her things and send them to her mate's pack mate's pack he paused so alara was preparing
17:00to move back in with him that made sense he'd always planned to bring her back after the blood
17:05claiming stop leaving her at the thorn hollow pack alone auntie about the blood claiming tonight
17:12there was a bit of a mix-up alara say anything no several packs did blood claimings tonight what
17:21would alara despite the words a sense of unease surged in him just as he was about to ask more
17:27the aunt interrupted him hurriedly oh i can't talk anymore we're busy packing
17:32both aloda and brianna were taken tonight we have to get their things ready
17:38silas rose what did she mean both were taken didn't he only take brianna as for alara she
17:45would never go with someone she didn't love he gripped the phone auntie you said alara was taken
17:51yes by the iron claw pack silas's throat tightened he couldn't speak he suddenly remembered something
17:57and his mind exploded iron claw killian the wolf he met at the gate the one carrying a girl saying
18:04she
18:04was his mate that silhouette that looked so familiar his voice was choked she didn't fight
18:10fight why would she a blood claiming isn't a bad thing she was as quiet as could be she just
18:15went
18:15with him we all thought it was strange with her temper shouldn't she have clawed the wolf to pieces
18:20but nothing happened she just let him carry her away silas's hand began to shake quiet as could be
18:27just let him carry her away no fight no snarl no resistance no that wasn't alara
18:33that wasn't the alara he knew
18:37he remembered talking to alara about blood claimings before she had been perched on the big tree
18:43swinging her legs speaking excitedly the she wolves in the thorn hollow pack if they're claimed by
18:48someone they don't want they don't just let them they claw bite and snarl they fight until the wolf
18:55gives up himself he had teased her then you're so wild who would dare claim you she had rolled her
19:02eyes
19:02her chin held high well it depends on who's coming if it's you she had stopped suddenly her face
19:10flushing as she turned away anyway if it's you i just put on a show of struggling a little for
19:15appearances he teased her just a little three times at most she glared at him then laughed her eyes bright
19:23like mountain stars if you came to claim me i'd probably be the first to jump on your back so
19:28you
19:28wouldn't have to take those hits he had thought then this girl is so foolish
19:36auntie his voice barely controlled alara when was she taken
19:42when the aunt thought for a moment tonight right after you left silas opened his mouth but not a
19:48single word came out hello hello simus are you still there i'm here why are you asking so much
19:57alora's mate will take care of her you claimed brianna tonight didn't you that poor girl's had
20:02it rough take good care of her silas said nothing all right i have to go we're still packing a
20:09lot of
20:10left in such a hurry she forgot so many things we have to get them to her bye now the
20:16line went dead
20:17he stood at the edge of the crowd white knuckling his phone around him were songs laughter music all
20:25the noise of celebration congratulations man someone shoved a drink into his hand tugging him
20:31toward the dance floor brianna waved at him from across the fire but he couldn't hear a thing while
20:39he'd been carrying brianna away alara had been lying on another wolf's back they had passed each other in
20:45the dark he thought she would fight snarl resist but she did nothing
20:50you
