Short filmTranscript
00:00I had four dads. After mom died, her four childhood friends found me still alive in her womb.
00:07So I ended up with four dads. First dad was the Alpha King.
00:11My little princess, do you like this hairstyle?
00:14Second dad was the Beta Wolf.
00:17Hold on tight, Lily. Here goes the giant wolf engine.
00:21Third dad was an excellent healer.
00:24Sweet dreams, my healing angel.
00:26Fourth dad was the strongest warrior, Gamma.
00:29Don't be afraid of the thunder. I'll kill it if it scares you.
00:33I grew up wrapped in their love.
00:36Every she-wolf in the land envied me when they found Jade, the daughter of their true mate.
00:41From that day on, my four dads became strangers.
00:45Daddy, Lily insulted me!
00:47Alpha dad had my mouth shut and starved me for three days and nights.
00:52She said I poisoned her.
00:54The healer threw me into the forest.
00:56Venomous creatures bit through my face.
00:58When Jade claimed I hired rogues to violate her, Gamma Daddy grabbed me by the collar and threw me into
01:05the pack barracks as a camp laundromate.
01:07Everyone started insulting me because I wasn't valued.
01:10I even turned a call girl in the pack camp.
01:13Whoever could bully me.
01:14Three years passed.
01:15I went from fury to submission.
01:18When my door opened again one night, I began undressing out of habit.
01:22Then I heard a voice say,
01:23Lily, do you want to come back to your mother?
01:26I snapped my head up, but the room was empty.
01:29I was a faint spirit of your mother.
01:31Your mother was from the future.
01:33After completing her mission, she left in a hurry, never expecting that she would have a daughter.
01:38Now she knew.
01:39She wanted to take you home.
01:41Kid, all you had to do was let this body die.
01:46Lily, your mother has been anxious since she found out about you.
01:50Will you?
01:50It hadn't even finished when I was already on my feet.
01:53Without hesitation, I grabbed a dagger and pressed it against my throat.
01:58This was wonderful.
02:00Mom was alive.
02:02And I was about to see her.
02:04A joy so massive, it drowned out every fear of death.
02:11Lily, you want to die?
02:13I knew that voice.
02:15Gamma Daddy?
02:16The moment it left my mouth, I already regretted it.
02:19Don't call me that.
02:21I cut ties with you a long time ago.
02:23The man standing before me was Xander, the strongest warrior of the pack.
02:28When I was small, a villain had kidnapped me.
02:31Xander offered his own blood three times before his sworn enemy to bring me back without a scratch.
02:38It's okay.
02:39These cuts felt like nothing to me.
02:42Don't worry, sweetie.
02:44Watching you cry nearly killed me.
02:46Among my four dads, Father Xander loved me the most.
02:49It was a shame that love vanished four years ago.
02:53The day Beta Daddy carried a wounded Jade home from a rogue skirmish.
02:57I had always known my four dads shared a true mate from their past.
03:01What I never knew was that she wasn't my mother.
03:04She was Jade's mother.
03:06My four dads were the four sons of a legendary Alpha named Marcus.
03:10The old Alpha King had feared Marcus' power and wiped out the entire bloodline on false charges.
03:17It was my young mother who hid them, placing each boy with a different master.
03:22When they grew strong enough, she helped them rise up and reclaim their names.
03:26Alpha Daddy became the new Alpha King.
03:29Justice was finally done.
03:31They say my mother and Alpha Daddy were deeply in love.
03:35But just before their mating ceremony, a woman named Serena appeared.
03:39One look at her, and all four men forgot themselves.
03:43They all betrayed my mother.
03:45My mother kept trying to fight for what was hers.
03:48In the end, jealousy consumed her, and she took her own life.
03:52After she died, Serena disappeared too.
03:54Only when Jade came back did they learn the truth.
03:57Serena left because she felt guilty for my mother's death.
04:01Honestly, I never believed any of that.
04:03My instincts told me my mother was not the villain.
04:06Serena was.
04:07But my dads didn't trust my instincts.
04:09They decided I was just like her.
04:11Jealous.
04:12Petty.
04:12Causing trouble.
04:14So every time I clashed with Jade, they took her side.
04:17It wasn't long before I went from their beloved little princess to a whore in the pack.
04:32If you want to die that badly, why did you dodge?
04:34Lily, you're just like that mother of hers.
04:39Pathetic.
04:39Always hurting yourself to get someone's attention?
04:42She was smarter than you, at least.
04:43She always did it in front of all four of us.
04:46You pick this kind of miserable place.
04:48You've really lost your mind.
04:50I was about to explain I wasn't performing.
04:52Then I remembered.
04:53Every explanation I had ever given, they ignored.
04:57You're right, Gamma Exander.
04:58And may I ask why you've come all the way here?
05:01Was it specifically to watch me perform?
05:04Don't flatter yourself.
05:05Today is Jade's birthday.
05:07She said recently that she's willing to forgive you and be friends again.
05:11I came to bring you to her.
05:12Three days ago, word had spread that the Alpha King intended to grant Jade the title of Silvermoon Princess.
05:18He had arranged for her to parade through the territory on her birthday.
05:22That title was something Alpha Daddy had given me when I was ten.
05:26In the past, if anyone tried to take something of mine, I would have burned the whole place down before
05:31letting them have it.
05:32Now I simply looked at Xander without expression.
05:35I don't want to go.
05:36That's not your choice to make.
05:45You needed to kneel when you saw Jade.
05:48You needed to stop angering her.
05:50My chest ached quietly.
05:52I watched the carriage move faster and faster.
05:55The thought of seeing my mother grew louder and louder in my mind.
05:59I stood up, pulled back the curtain, and jumped.
06:02Before I hit the ground, I heard a shout.
06:04I thought, at this speed, I would finally manage it.
06:08Instead of the impact I expected, I fell into something warm.
06:11Lily!
06:12Are you insane?!
06:17Can you stop this?
06:18You just want to see if I still care about you.
06:21I'm telling you right now, rescuing you means nothing.
06:23I would have done the same for any stranger.
06:26If I'd known what you were thinking, I never would have jumped.
06:30From now on, if you want to die, go ahead.
06:32I'm not stopping you.
06:36Okay, Xander.
06:38Remember what you said.
06:42Xander had nearly drowned as a child.
06:44Water was his one fear, and he had just said those words.
06:48He was not coming in after me.
06:51So when the freezing water rushed into my lungs, I felt nothing but relief.
06:56Finally, I was going to see Mom.
06:59Mom?
07:00Is that you?
07:01You worthless girl!
07:02All we did was put you in the barracks doing chores!
07:04And you pull this stunt the moment you see Xander?
07:06Do you have any idea what you've done?
07:08He almost drowned trying to pull you out.
07:10Of my four dads, I had been closest to Callum.
07:13The others were constantly occupied, so the task of raising me had fallen on him.
07:18He taught me to read.
07:19He taught me herbs and medicine.
07:21He was always gentle.
07:22No matter how badly I misbehaved, he guided me with patience and never once punished me.
07:28But the Callum who never raised his voice at me struck me on Jade's very first day back.
07:33That time, Jade had touched Callum's venomous creature display herself.
07:38Then she told him I had placed one on her.
07:41Callum took a whip to me.
07:45Lily, this is my failure.
07:46I raised you to be wild and cruel.
07:48You have no respect for life!
07:50Later, when Jade was poisoned again, Callum fed me the lure herb and threw me into his venom pit.
07:56Thousands of creatures crawled into my body and tore their way back out.
08:00Though Callum treated me afterward, I still covered in wounds.
08:04Now he stood over me, silent fury building.
08:09Eli, calm down.
08:11Today is Jade's ceremony.
08:12She apparently can't handle it.
08:14She's already tried to kill herself three times in front of me.
08:16I remembered what Callum had said.
08:18Xander couldn't swim.
08:19Whatever it had cost him to pull me out of that moat, it wasn't nothing.
08:25Xander, you've been fooled.
08:26Four years ago, you were away traveling.
08:28She pulled these tricks constantly in front of all of us.
08:31She just wants our attention.
08:33So that's what it was.
08:35Lily, today is Jade's birthday.
08:38If you need to act out, do it in front of us.
08:41Don't take it to your alpha dad or beta daddy.
08:43You know how those two are.
08:44I was already lunging toward his medicine chest.
08:47I had lived with Callum long enough to know where he kept his most lethal compounds.
08:51I found the worst one and swallowed it before anyone could stop me.
08:55The compound was bitter, but I felt light.
08:59Callum had once told me there was no antidote for this one.
09:01If I swallowed it, it was over.
09:03Callum only froze for a moment.
09:06Then he was in front of me.
09:07Do you know what you just took?
09:08He wrenched my jaw open and shoved his fingers down my throat.
09:12Black blood trickled out of my mouth.
09:15Only when the blood turned red did he breathe again.
09:18Lily, it's just a title.
09:20Was dying really worth it?
09:21Xander was still shaking.
09:22He had finally accepted I was serious, and his voice trembled.
09:27Lily, don't do this again.
09:29Actually, yesterday all four of us spoke with Jade.
09:31She said she's ready to forgive you.
09:33After today, you can return to the mansion.
09:35Alpha dad will give you the Silvermoon Princess title back.
09:38We'll treat you the way we used to, okay?
09:39Hearing that, tears fell from my eyes.
09:42Both men assumed it was relief.
09:44The next second, I dropped my knees before them.
09:47Healer daddy, Gamma daddy, please, just let me go.
09:51Callum's face reddened.
09:53Lily, do you understand what we just said?
09:56I understand.
09:57I no longer wanted to hide it.
09:59But I don't want to go back.
10:00I want to find my mother.
10:02I told them everything the spirit of mother had said.
10:04Their expressions shifted and twisted as they listened.
10:07Finally, Callum helped me up.
10:10Lily, listen to me.
10:11You are sick.
10:12Your mother is truly gone.
10:14She had drowned in the lake years ago.
10:17Alpha daddy pulled her out.
10:19But Callum had used everything he knew and still couldn't save her.
10:24Afterward, all four of them removed me from her womb and kept vigil for seven days.
10:29They watched her body fade until there was nothing left.
10:33Sweetie, the voice in your head was probably a trauma-induced hallucination.
10:37It wasn't.
10:37I was certain.
10:38But no matter how I insisted, they refused to believe me.
10:42If you truly don't want to come back, then stay here with me.
10:46Long as you behave, I but will let anyone hurt you again.
10:49I was about to shake my head.
10:51Rapid hoofbeats came from outside.
10:54Moments later, Alpha dad and Beta dad rushed in.
10:56Eli, Xander, have you seen Jade?
10:58She's missing.
11:02Isn't she at the mansion getting ready for the parade?
11:04How is she missing?
11:05My fault.
11:06This morning, she said she wanted to go pick up Lily herself.
11:08She asked me for the barracks location.
11:10I was dealing with pack business and didn't go with her.
11:12That was two hours ago and she still has-
11:14I knew that look.
11:15Before the accusation even left their mouths, I was already shaking my head.
11:20No, it wasn't me.
11:26How is it not you?
11:30No wonder you were throwing yourself at death all morning.
11:32You were covering your own tracks.
11:34Where did you hide Jade?
11:35His grip was crushing.
11:37My throat was already wounded.
11:40I don't know.
11:41I never saw her.
11:43Still lying.
11:44You don't deserve us treating you so well.
11:46You don't deserve to wear such nice clothes.
11:52He dragged me out into the courtyard by the throat
11:55and shoved my head into the water basin.
12:04Last chance.
12:06Where is Jade?
12:07The truth climbed up my throat.
12:09I swallowed it back down.
12:10Lily.
12:11When have they ever believed you?
12:13They never will!
12:15Fine.
12:15Push them further.
12:16Let them finish it.
12:18I smiled.
12:19Jade?
12:20I already killed her.
12:23What did you say?
12:24Lily, how dare you?
12:26Why wouldn't I dare?
12:27Her mother killed my mother.
12:29She stole my title and turned me into a whore in the barracks.
12:32I didn't just kill her.
12:33I found a dozen men first.
12:34You always said she was pure.
12:36Well, she's dirtier than me now.
12:37You're angry?
12:38Then kill me.
12:40Go on.
12:41Kill me!
12:42My words pushed all four of them past the edge.
12:46Alpha Daddy called for the instruments.
12:48Beta Dad summoned the pack's most brutal enforcer.
12:52Callum fed me a compound that would keep me conscious no matter the pain.
12:56No fainting.
12:57No escape.
12:58When they were done preparing, Xander gave the order.
13:00At first I endured it.
13:02Then the enforcer pressed harder.
13:04The worse it hurt, the more relief I felt.
13:07Soon, I would see mom.
13:09Soon.
13:10The four of them were anxious to go find Jade.
13:13Don't hold back!
13:18My Alpha King.
13:19The Silver Moon Princess.
13:21She's been found.
13:23Where?
13:24Alive.
13:25The princess got lost on her way to the barracks.
13:28She stopped to watch a market stall and lost track of time.
13:30She's on her way back now.
13:31She's alive?
13:34Alive.
13:49The dagger going into my chest hurt.
13:52But this way, I could finally go to mom.
14:04Lily, Lily, don't close your eyes.
14:07The way they looked, so frantic and desperate, reminded me of a fever I had when I was small.
14:13It had been midwinter, during the pack celebration.
14:16All four of them had cancelled everything to stay with me.
14:19I got sick from playing too long in the cold.
14:22The fever wouldn't rake.
14:23I refused to take the medicine.
14:25So they sat around me and took turns coaxing me for hours.
14:29The four of them used to be so good to me.
14:31They were the best people in the world to me.
14:33Even after everything they did because of Jade, I never forgot the good.
14:38I looked at each of their faces one more time and locked them away.
14:41Then I closed my eyes.
14:43A moment later, the pain dissolved.
14:45When I opened my eyes again...
14:46When I opened my eyes again, I was lying in Callum's bed.
14:50Thank God.
14:52You're finally up.
14:54The Enforcer didn't actually drive the blade into the heart it missed.
14:57The survival vials kept you going.
14:59That's why you were only out for five days.
15:02Five days.
15:03So that was how long it passed.
15:05To get that vial, Callum had ridden through the night to the Healer's Valley
15:09and begged his own master for it.
15:11I almost smiled at that.
15:13What a waste of something so precious.
15:15I still wanted to die.
15:17Lily, if you didn't hurt Jade, why couldn't you just tell us that?
15:21Why put everyone through this?
15:22What you did was incredibly reckless and selfish.
15:26The only one who defended me was Jade.
15:28Stop blaming her.
15:30This is my fault.
15:31I wanted to visit the market first and buy her a gift.
15:34I didn't mean to get lost.
15:36If I had arrived sooner, none of this would have happened.
15:38Alpha Daddy turned on me with a hard look.
15:41Lily, Jade didn't even get to enjoy her own birthday
15:44because she was worried about you.
15:46Apologize to her right now.
15:50Apologize for what?
15:51She got herself lost.
15:52She chose to skip her own birthday.
15:54What does any of that have to do with me?
15:56You're still this stubborn?
15:58Never mind today.
15:59What about everything you did to her before?
16:02Don't you owe her an apology for those years?
16:06That cracked something open inside me.
16:08No!
16:10No, I don't.
16:12Not for any of it.
16:13I never hit her.
16:14I never insulted her.
16:16I never poisoned her.
16:17I never arranged for anyone to violate her.
16:21Every single one of those things she staged herself.
16:24She framed me.
16:25Every time.
16:26So why did you believe her?
16:28Why did you let her take everything from me?
16:33Sister, you've misunderstood.
16:35I never wanted to take anything from you.
16:37I'll give it all back.
16:39I don't want the Silvermoon Princess title.
16:41You can have it.
16:42She grabbed Alpha Daddy's sleeve and sobbed harder.
16:44Alpha Daddy!
16:45Just send me back to the Northern Territory.
16:47Oh, sweetie, you are our precious girl.
16:49She is speaking out of jealousy.
16:51What do you mean she stole from you?
16:53I am the Alpha King.
16:54I choose who holds a title.
16:56And you dare compare yourself to your mother?
16:58All she ever did was make Serena's life miserable.
17:00And Jade is exactly like her mother.
17:02Running the same schemes, the same traps, the same lies.
17:10What right do you four have to bring up my mother?
17:14She risked her life to hide all four of you.
17:17She spent her own money to fund your war.
17:20She hunted down witnesses and evidence to clear your family name.
17:25And how did you repay her?
17:26You locked her in the cold wing of the mansion for a woman you'd known five minutes.
17:32Ethan, she begged you for the mate title you promised.
17:35You broke your word.
17:37Nathan, she came to you for help.
17:39You turned her away.
17:40Callum, Xander.
17:42You swore you would protect her for the rest of your lives.
17:45You drove her to her death.
17:47Every one of you.
17:49No one in this territory would have dared address them.
17:52But the moment I spoke about my mother, all four of them went pale.
17:55They hadn't expected me to know this much.
17:58I wouldn't have known any of it.
17:59After her death, Alpha Daddy banned her name from the entire territory.
18:03He destroyed every portrait.
18:05He sent away anyone who had known her.
18:07Most people said they did it because the memories hurt too much.
18:11I knew better.
18:12They were angry.
18:13Angry that she used her death to drive Serena away.
18:16Because whenever they spoke of her at all, it was through gritted teeth.
18:19When I was small, I truly believed my mother had been a monster.
18:23That changed when I found her handmaid.
18:25Rosa, living in the old, cold wing.
18:28I had fallen out of a tree while playing and landed in that courtyard.
18:32The moment Rosa saw me, she knew whose child I was.
18:36She cupped my face gently.
18:38Tender, slow.
18:39Your eyes are exactly like her.
18:42She was the one who told me the truth.
18:44My mother was not a villain.
18:46She helped First Dad escape a trap.
18:49She nursed Second Dad through his wounds.
18:52She gave her own blood as a medicinal catalyst for Callum.
18:55She tracked down the relic that restored Xander's warrior spirit.
18:59A woman like that?
19:00How could anyone not love her?
19:02So all four of them had, without exception, fallen for her.
19:06I asked Rosa once who my mother had loved in return.
19:09Rosa told me it started with Alpha Daddy.
19:11They were the same age, childhood companions.
19:13Their feelings built over years.
19:15He had promised that once they won, she would be his mate and Luna.
19:19Then, the night before their ceremony, Serena appeared.
19:21Alpha Daddy fell for Serena and broke the bond with my mother.
19:24She became a joke to the whole pack.
19:27Later, my mother found something in Xander.
19:30They were nearly ready to leave together and travel the wilds.
19:33My heart belongs to you.
19:35But if she stays here, she'll only be in the way between you and my brother.
19:42I'll take her with me so you can be happy.
19:45He never wanted to travel with her.
19:47It was an excuse to remove her from the equation.
19:51Then Beta Daddy and Callum each held her captive for a time.
19:55In the end, Serena framed her.
19:58All four of them turned on her.
20:00She couldn't survive it.
20:02She threw herself into the lake.
20:04Rosa told me.
20:05Everyone said she jumped because she was broken.
20:08But that day she was almost happy.
20:11She told me she was finally going home.
20:14I didn't understand that then.
20:16She had said her home was in another world and that I could go there too.
20:20Another world.
20:21I hadn't understood what that meant until the spirit spoke to me.
20:25My home wasn't here either.
20:27Mom's world was my home.
20:28Perhaps my words had stirred something in them about her.
20:31When they spoke to me again, their voices were softer.
20:34Xander came forward and ruffled my hair the way he used to.
20:36Lily, if you're unhappy here, come with me.
20:41We'll travel the pack territories together.
20:43You always said when you were small that you wanted to be a warrior everyone respected,
20:48just like me, didn't you?
20:49His tone caught the others off guard.
20:52Jade's face flashed with something sharp and dark.
