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 i've guarded this altar for 10 years
00:1310 years i nearly died trying to heal your inner wolf and you bring a pregnant woman back here
00:21leila you know how it works i can only gain greater power by sighing an air with a high-blooded
00:28she-wolf blame yourself for being nothing but a lowly omega simus this little bitch is way too
00:36slow the pup in my demley is already protesting leila don't stop ava is pregnant she needs your
00:46healing essence to stabilize the baby hell no who told you to stop
01:04she's so loud can you shut her up
01:09leila your essence your blood your bones they're all mine you don't get to fight back
01:16filled with loathing silas cast me aside and approached ava he condensed my strength into a
01:22soft glowing golden orb at a subtle squeeze of his palm and they both disappeared without a trace
01:28upon the altar my fingernails dug into the crevices of the bloodstone my vision blurred all my power
01:35faded i returned to my ordinary form and collapsed weakly across the cold stone ground the last thing
01:41my fading sight caught was that narrow bent window high on the wall deep in the pitch black heart of
01:46the cursed woods a pair of burning gold eyes on suspended in the darkness
01:53if he still still wants my lunar essence
01:57he 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 i 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
02:17the side hall mara i ducked behind a stone pillar on instinct and held my breath mother how much longer
02:23do we have to keep that little bitch around every time i see her playing the devoted mortal for silas
02:29at
02:29that altar it makes me sick patient sweetheart just a few more days after the next full moon once silas
02:35drains the last of her lunar essences i'll slip liquid silver into her sleeping draught
02:39an omega dying of exhaustion no one will suspect a thing
02:50baby hiding here and eavesdropping that's not a good habit
02:56what did you hear those little jokes about ava
02:59silas are you really planning to drain me dry and then kill me with liquid silver
03:04shh leila don't listen to that scenic old woman how could i ever bear to let anything happen to you
03:12ava was just politics her family support that's all i needed once i have the position secured she and
03:19that pup mean nothing you're the one i keep all of this has been for our future
03:24i pretended to believe him the moment his guard dropped
03:34damn it you insane little bitch seize her
03:38i shoved him back and sprinted through the narrow door at the end of the corridor
03:41the passage to the cursed woods and plunged into the endless darkness
03:45a voice exploded through the blackness
03:47well well little thing tell me did you come to offer yourself to me
03:55leila
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
04:07withered 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
04:23then take mine just don't let me die at his hands
04:32twenty years
04:35and the one who breaks my chains is an omega
04:43with the purest healing essence i've ever tasted
04:47offering me her blood like a bargain
04:50i was like a lamb marked for slaughter
04:52leila
04:53he charged in with a dozen blackridge warriors
04:55terror crashed over me once again
04:58no impossible
04:59the seal hasn't expired yet
05:01those chains were made with
05:03made with what
05:05silver alloy
05:07forbidden runes
05:09soul eater venom
05:10she'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
05:27growing stronger by the second
05:29it rose higher and higher
05:30towering above the other piece
05:32the torchlight barely flickered
05:36and 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
05:57leave
05:57move
05:58now
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
06:21i gave my grandmother's bracelet to silas's mother
06:24i had been foolish enough to treat her like family
06:26believing the raw moonstone on the bracelet could heal her frail body
06:30now i was taking it back
06:32a few months later
06:33i 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
06:42leila
06:44you're finally here
06:45i know you blame simus
06:48but i've always treated you like my own daughter
06:50that conniving bitch ava
06:52she said your mother's things were bad luck
06:54wanted to throw them away
06:55i
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
07:09all of her weakness was nothing but an act
07:11you 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 black birth
07:36taught you a thing or two
07:39give me the bracelet back
07:45the bracelet
07:46give it back
07:48then again the fact that you snuck into the blackridge central hall all by yourself
07:52that does surprise me
07:55did you really think
07:57blackridge'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
08:07leila
08:09long time no see
08:11i froze
08:11it 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 kicked up from the screen to something low
08:41fine
08:41fine
08:42leila
08:43i raised you for ten years
08:45ten years
08:47and this is how you repay me
08:49silas suddenly pressed my face hard against his cold bones
08:53leila
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
09:05leila
09:06since you refuse to go back to the altar
09:08i'll grant your wish
09:10you can channel every last drop of your essence to me right here
09:14in your dreams
09:17dreams
09:17dreams
09:19his 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
09:26suddenly
09:27the death of the crash
09:29the glass came to see me
09:31shattered like an eggshell
09:32rubble and dust rained down
09:45who did this
09:46no one answered
09:47his fury ignited in an instant
09:50a searing orb of golden flame roaring to life in his palm
09:53he resembled a solitary wolf
09:54trapped in age-long slumber amid the frigid snow-capped peaks
09:57and i was the one who roused the beast within him
10:00burning gold eyes blazing through the dust and debris
10:02he walked toward me
10:03with every step
10:05stone 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
10:16killin
10:17she's my mate
10:19i'm disciplining my own woman
10:20what business is it of yours
10:22your woman
10:33he's my mother
10:35die
10:36knee
10:36eye
10:41nie
10:49die
10:50die
10:52die
10:53oder
10:53die
11:12That's it.
11:17Who the hell are you?
11:21A worthless Omega is worth all this?
11:24Killian's arm whipped forward.
11:25Silas slammed into a stone pillar 30 feet away.
11:28Killian 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.
11:36Killian dragged the chain two steps toward me.
11:38I'm sorry Layla.
11:42Please, put in a word for me.
11:44Let me go.
11:45Killian 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, searching for my grandmother's bracelet.
11:54Sharp gravel lacerated my fingers.
11:57At last, I unearthed the bracelet beneath the rubble and hope rekindled deep within my soul.
12:02Killian bent down and lifted me out of the debris.
12:04His eyes fell on the bracelet in my hand.
12:09So that's it.
12:11Little thing, you've been hiding quite a secret.
12:15Killian frantically inhaled my scent.
12:17Strangely, I froze in place and did not push him away.
12:24Killian 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 Killian 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.
12:49Torches blazed against the vaulted ceiling, casting everything in gold.
12:55Blood Moon Knight
12:57Witnessed by all wolves
13:00Black Ridge Alpha Silas
13:02Hereby formally marks his mate Ava
13:05As Black Ridge Luna
13:07Silas leaned down
13:09His lips moving toward the back of Ava's neck
13:11Wait!
13:13Every 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
13:34And drain her essence night after night
13:36Just to make himself stronger?
13:39Layla
13:41What 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
13:56With these silver chains
13:58Silas
13:59You're not an Alpha
14:01You'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
14:11Why did I keep you?
14:14Because I can't live without you, Layla
14:16It's not just your essence
14:18It's you
14:19I 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
14:30What?
14:33Silas, you...
14:34I said
14:36Cancelled
14:37Layla
14:38I'll mark you right now
14:41In front of everyone
14:44I'll make you the true Luna of Black Ridge
14:49Simus, you really are one hell of an actor
14:51But I, Layla, reject this unfaithful bond
15:00You 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
15:14Shards of stone tore through the hall
15:17Wolves dove for copper
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
15:51Killian's fingers traced the back of my neck
15:54Heat seared through my skin
15:55The mark of the leaking king burned into existence
15:58All units, move out
16:00Outside the Black Ridge Great Hall
16:03Rain poured down in sheets
16:05Don't be afraid of the lion 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
16:21Kilden, you're bleeding
16:22Just a scratch
16:23Move
16:24A massive grey wolf burst from the tree leaning
16:26And lunged straight for rain throat
16:28Killian didn't walk
16:30He fed at his forearm
16:31The wolf's jaws clamped down with a wet crunch
16:34I heard bone grind
16:36He grabbed the wolf by the scruff with his free hand and wrench
16:39The 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
16:58Black Ridge's beta
17:02Killian
17:03Alpha gave the order
17:04Hand 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
17:36A roar tore from his throat
17:38And shook the canopy overhead
17:40His body swelled monstrously
17:42Pitch black fur 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
17:59Branches lashed my face
18:01Thorns tore at my sleeves
18:03Rock 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
18:12The 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
18:23No answer
18:25Killian!
18:26I'd heard the leekin mark was 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 and seized my wrist
18:40His eyes were a color I had never seen before
18:43Deep violet
18:44The leekin 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 of the leekin royal bloodline
19:03The last person who could carve a mark like this
19:05Was my son
19:06Your...
19:08Son?
19:08My 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
19:21I raised him as my son
19:25His name is Killian
19:26A flash
19:2720 years ago
19:28A boy surrounded by flames
19:30Black fur matted with blood
19:31A 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
19:52And 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
20:10I followed Azar through the camp
20:12This place didn't look like a PAX camp
20:15More like a
20:16Shelter
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 the rot will reach the bone
20:38I know
20:40But 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
20:55Who 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
21:23Luna essence
21:26She 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
21:55Azar stood at a distance, arms folded, watching all of it
21:59Chief
22:00Who is this woman?
22:02Those wounds, we spent months trying to treat them and got nowhere
22:04She touches them once and
22:08Don't ask
22:09Just keep an eye on her
22:11But Chief, word's already getting out
22:13The 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
22:27In his sleep, he had shifted into wolf form, a palm-sized grey 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?
22:45I know
22:45The 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
22:54So what are you gonna do?
22:57I looked down at the sleeping pup in my arms
23:00I don't know
23:01A czar watched me for a long time
23:04Then he stood and pulled something from inside his cloak
23:07A fist-sized chunk of black ore
23:09He placed it in my palm
23:13This is a lichen soul stone
23:18In times of danger, it will protect the lichen luna
23:25Are you saying I'm the luna of the lichen royal bloodline?
23:29I'm the lichen royal bloodline
23:30I'm the lichen royal bloodline
23:30I'm the lichen royal bloodline
23:30I'm the lichen royal bloodline
23:30I'm the lichen royal bloodline
23:31I'm the lichen royal bloodline
23:31I'm the lichen royal bloodline
23:31I'm the lichen royal bloodline
23:31I'm the lichen royal bloodline
23:31I'm the lichen royal bloodline
