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 slow

00:46essence to stabilize the baby hell no who told you to stop
01:03so loud can you shut her up leila your essence your blood your bones they're all mine you don't get
01:15to fight back filled with loathing silas cast me aside and approached ava he condensed my strength
01:21into a soft glowing golden orb at a subtle squeeze of his palm and they both disappeared without a
01:27trace upon the altar my fingernails dug into the crevices of the bloodstone my vision blurred
01:33all my power faded i returned to my ordinary form and collapsed weakly across the cold stone ground
01:40the last thing my fading sight caught was that narrow bent window high on the wall
01:44deep in the pitch black heart of the cursed woods a pair of burning gold eyes
01:48hung 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 he reluctantly agreed i dragged my
02:09weakened body out of the altar chamber stumbling with every step i was about to cross the central
02:14courtyard toward the apothecary when low laughter drifted out from the side hall mara i ducked behind
02:19a stone pillar on instinct and held my breath mother how much longer do we have to keep that little
02:24bitch around every time i see her playing the devoted mortal for silas at that altar it makes me sick
02:31patience sweetheart just a few more days after the next full moon once silas drains the last of her

03:25believe
03:26him the moment his guard dropped
03:34damn it you insane little bitch seize her i shoved him back and sprinted through the narrow door at the
03:41end of the corridor the passage to the cursed woods and plunged into the endless darkness a voice exploded
03:46through the blackness well 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 if you wake the thing in there it'll tear us all
04:04apart
04:04i stumbled into a vast stone cavern choke of dead withered vines
04:10at the center they bound a huge motionless figure i 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 just don't let me die
04:26at his
04:27hands
04:3220 years
04:36and 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 i was like
04:54the dozen blackridge warriors terror crashed over me once again no impossible the seal hasn't expired
05:01yet those chains were made with made with what silver alloy forbidden runes soul eater venom
05:10she's my mate she belongs to blackridge you have no right you say she's your mate
05:17but her blood is rejecting your scent you call that a mate i'd call that prey
05:24a sharp cutting presence began to radiate from him growing stronger by the second it rose higher and
05:30higher towering above the other piece the torchlight barely flickered and killian
05:36was already in front of silas
05:40he grabbed silas by the throat and hurled him away
05:44take your people leave she's just a lowly omega she's worth this much to you hand her over i can

06:14i don't belong to anyone who the hell are you
06:20years ago i gave my grandmother's bracelet to silas's mother i had been foolish enough to treat
06:26her like family believing the raw moonstone on the bracelet could heal her frail body
06:30now i was taking it back a few months later i timed my move and snuck into the blackridge central
06:36hall
06:37mara assumed that i was still the same helpless omega with nothing to her name
06:43leila you're finally here i know you blame simus but i've always treated you like my own daughter
06:50that conniving bitch ava she said your mother's things were bad luck wanted to throw them away

07:10act
07:13you little bitch how dare you lay a hand on me
07:20are you done acting yet or was this silver bagger your real farewell gift
07:28mara wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and smiled bold seems like these few months away
07:35from blackbirth taught you a thing or two give me the bracelet back
07:45the bracelet give it back then again the fact that you snuck into the blackridge central hall all
07:51by yourself that does surprise me did you really think blackridge's defenses were that easy to get
07:59through the four side doors behind me burst open at once 12 armed blackridge elites poured in at their
08:06center stood silas leila long time no see i froze it was a trap all of it i mustered all
08:16my strength
08:16only one thought remained kill mara i reversed my grip on the dagger and drove it up mara's chest
08:33you psycho you actually stabbed me her voice shifted from the screen to something low
08:40fine fine leila i raised you for 10 years 10 years and this is how you repay me silas suddenly
08:50pressed my
08:50face hard against his cold bones leila you really did give me one hell of a surprise two warriors
08:59rushed forward silver chains wrapped around my wrists and bound them behind my back leila since you
09:07refuse to go back to the altar i'll grant your wish you can channel every last drop of your essence
09:13to me
09:14right here in your dreams dreams his hand closed around my throat golden lunar essence poured from
09:22my neck into his palm silver chains rattled behind me my body arched in agony suddenly
09:27the death of the back sheathed the glass stained ceiling shattered like an eggshell rubble and dust rained down
09:44who did this no one answered his fury ignited in an instant a searing orb of golden flame
09:51worn to life in his palm he resembled a solitary wolf trapped in age-long slumber amid the frigid snow
09:57capped peaks and i was the one who roused the beast within him burning gold eyes blazing through the dust
10:01and debris he walked toward me with every step stone cracked beneath his feet fractures spread across the
10:09floor like a spider web he crouched beside me and lifted me from the rubble with impossible care
10:17killin she's my mate i'm disciplining my own woman what business is it of yours your woman
10:23who is
10:53the
11:12That's it.
11:17Who the hell are you?
11:21A worthless Omega is worth all this?
11:23Killian'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.
11:46Killian 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.
12:15Killian 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.
12:48Torches 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 as Black Ridge Luna
13:07Silas leans down, his lips moving toward the back of Ava's neck.
13:12Wait!
13:13Every pair of eyes in the hall snapped toward me.
13:19Where did this little...
13:21You all came here to watch Black Ridge crown a Luna.
13:26So 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!
13:46Look 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.
13:59Silas
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.
14:11Why did I keep you?
14:14Because I can't live without you, Layla.
14:16It's not just your essence.
14:18It's you.
14:20I 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
14:33Silas, you...
14:34I said...
14:35Cancelled.
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.
14:48Simus, you really are one hell of an actor.
14:51But I, Layla, reject this unfaithful bond.
15:00You worthless, Omega.
15:02You 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.
15:22Silas screamed.
15:23No!
15:24No!
15:24No!
15:24No!
15:25No!
15:26No!
15:27No!
15:27Killian had appeared behind me.
15:30No one saw when.
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.
15:55The mark of the Lycan King burned into existence.
15:59All units, move out!
16:01Outside the Blackbridge Great Hall, rain 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 and 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 and lunged straight from 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 with 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, more wolves poured from the tree line.
16:54At the front was a huge brown wolf covered in scars.
16:57Draven, Blackridge's beta.
17:02Killian!
17:03Alpha gave the order.
17:05Hand over the Omega, and I might make this quick.
17:08How generous.
17:11When I say go, you run north.
17:13Don't stop.
17:14Don't look back.
17:15Make it to the Grey Mist River and 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.
17:32When I looked back, I saw Killian shift.
17:34The instant his spine arched,
17:36a roar tore from his throat and shook the canopy overhead.
17:40His body swelled monstrously,
17:42pitch black fur ripping through skin.
17:44Claws shot from his fingers, long 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,
18:19shaking all over.
18:20My eyes locked on the opposite shore.
18:23No answer.
18:26I'd heard the Lichen 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 Lichen 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 Lichen Royal Bloodline.
19:03The last person who could carve a mark like this
19:05was my son.
19:07Your
19:08son?
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.
19:19I 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
19:52and 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 riverbank.
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,
20:33inflamed 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.
20:40But we don't have a healer.
20:41Don't have medicine either.
20:43In this place,
20:45whether 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.
21:09A thread of dark golden light seeped from my fingertips,
21:11so faint 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.
21:21Azar's dark violet eyes contracted sharply.
21:24Luna 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.
22:14The strays are spreading it everywhere.
22:16Saying an Omega with Lunar Essence has shown up in the unclaimed territories.
22:23Night.
22:24I 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.
22:38The 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.
22:55So what are you gonna do?
22:57I looked down at the sleeping pop in my arms.
23:00I don't know.
23:02Azar 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 Lycan soul stone.
23:18In times of danger, it will protect the Lycan Luna.
23:25Are you saying I'm the Luna of the Lycan royal bloodline?
23:29I'm the Luna of the Lycan royal bloodline.
23:31I'm the Luna of the Lycan royal bloodline.
