Short filmTranscript
00:00I lay on the busting bed, pain tore through me in waves, my vision went black, but my maids was
00:06right there, Callan, alpha, of the dark moon pack, he gripped my hand,
00:11Just hold on, we're going to see our baby, sweat soaked my skin, I forced a smile, the painkiller walked
00:17in, holding a syringe, I thought it was a painkiller, but Callan let go, he stepped back, the needle pierced
00:24my skin, cold liquid, hit my veins,
00:27Check the dois, hold it off until tomorrow, I promised Regina, her child comes first, I stared at him, he
00:35didn't look at me, he just watched the clock, tears fell, I tried to scream, I tried to fight, but
00:42the drugs hit, my contractions stopped cold, then everything stopped,
00:46When I opened my eyes, I was on stone, the holding cells beneath the pack infirmary, dark moon's punishment cells,
00:54his sister, Serafina, stood at the door, a silver dagger in her hand,
00:59Don't blame Callan, Regina's pup is the only blood my dead brother left behind, he's the rightful heir to dark
01:07moon, I never wanted to fight her for it,
01:09Save the act, you pushed a pregnant widow down the stairs, you tried to kill her so your bastard could
01:14claim the alpha title, I didn't,
01:16Another conjecture ripped through me, I stopped breathing, Serafina squatted down, tapped my cheek with her blade,
01:23Pack law is clear, the first recognized heir inherits the alpha title, when an alpha dies without a born heir,
01:29his unborn bloodline comes first,
01:32Marcus is dead, but his pup lives, and Callan is only a regent, so you and your bastard pup, you
01:37were finished the second Regina conceived,
01:39I clutched my belly, my vision blurred,
01:42Please, get the healer, my pup is coming,
01:47The drug lasts three more hours, sit tight, once Regina delivers, you can push all you want,
01:54She turned to the guards, watch her, she screams, gag her,
02:00The steel door slammed shut, one flickering bob, blood soaked my gown, wolf's bang in the wars, no my link,
02:07no way out,
02:08Callan took my phone this morning, said he wanted me to focus on the birth, it was a trap,
02:14Seven months ago, Marcus, the former alpha, died in an ambush, at his funeral, Regina threw up, she was pregnant,
02:23Her unborn pup became the pack's obsession, I told the elders, not to worry,
02:28Callan and I would still give dark moon and air, they just stared at my belly, silent,
02:33Now I understood, my pup never mattered from the start, the drugs were wearing off, the contractions hit harder,
02:41I crawled to the door, leaving a trail of blood, I pounded on the steel,
02:47Please, my pup is dying,
02:50A guard laughed,
02:52Save your breath, Regina's close to delivering, you'll get out when she's done,
02:57But my baby!
02:59You deserve it,
03:01After what you did to her,
03:03I collapsed,
03:04Then I heard Serafina in the hall, on the call,
03:07Callan?
03:08How is she doing?
03:09Regina's contraction started, she's fine, is Alexia under control?
03:14Under control?
03:15She's screaming,
03:17What an actress,
03:19Don't tell me you feel bad,
03:21She stole birth herbs,
03:22Stole herbs?
03:23I never did that,
03:25I haven't forgotten,
03:26She nearly killed Marcus' pup on those stairs,
03:29I will never let her ruin that bloodline,
03:32The healer swore the injection was safe,
03:34Let her suffer,
03:36Maybe she'll learn,
03:37I'll send the healer down when Regina is stable,
03:40The call ended,
03:41My mate chose her,
03:44I lost track of time in that cell,
03:46The blood kept pooling,
03:48Soaking my gown,
03:49Just as my vision faded,
03:50Goddess!
03:51It was Orist,
03:52The pack's chief healer,
03:53My only real friend here,
03:55He dropped to his knees in the blood,
03:58Alexia?
03:58Why are you down here?
04:00The alpha said you were in the private birthing suite,
04:02Serafina,
04:03Save your breath,
04:04He chucked me,
04:05His face draining of color,
04:06Your water broke,
04:07You're fully dilated,
04:08Your pup is coming right now,
04:09He tried to mind-link the others,
04:11But the wolf's being walls,
04:13Blocked the signal,
04:14He scooped me into his arms,
04:15We burst out of the cell,
04:17Two guards stepped in our way,
04:18Stop,
04:19Miss Serafina said,
04:20Said what?
04:20To let a pregnant woman bleed to death?
04:23Get out of my way!
04:24The guards flinched and stepped back,
04:26Orist cured me up the stone stairs,
04:28Leaving a thick trail of blood,
04:30We hit the third floor,
04:31The main birthing chamber,
04:33The doors were wide open,
04:34It was completely empty,
04:36No birthing bed,
04:37No monitors,
04:38No supplies,
04:40Nothing,
04:40Just bare walls,
04:42This is impossible,
04:43Where is the equipment?
04:44Footsteps clicked down the hole,
04:46Serafina,
04:47Oh,
04:47The equipment?
04:48We moved everything to Regina's private birthing suite,
04:51To protect Darkmoon's rightful ear,
04:54Just as a precaution,
04:55Are you insane?
04:56The Luna's baby is crowning,
04:58She needs a bed right now!
05:00Drop the act,
05:02Alessia,
05:02Callan already told me the delay drug is harmless,
05:05You're just throwing a tantrum,
05:07Trying to pull focus from the true pren,
05:09I stared at her perfectly powdered face,
05:12Six months ago,
05:13I spent three nights,
05:14Making her a moonstone pack necklace,
05:16She had hugged my arm,
05:17So while we were sisters for life,
05:19What an absolute joke,
05:22Orist sprinted to the pharmacy wing,
05:25Two minutes later,
05:26She ran back,
05:27Empty handed,
05:28They gutted the pharmacy,
05:29No supplies,
05:31No blood,
05:32The guards took everything to Regina's private birthing suite,
05:35Alpha's orders,
05:35This is murder,
05:36She's going to die,
05:38The pup is going to die,
05:39The pack comes first,
05:41If she dies,
05:42She dies,
05:42Oris collapsed in front of me,
05:44Right in the puddle of my blood,
05:46Alexia,
05:47I'm so sorry,
05:48I have no tools,
05:50No supplies,
05:51I can't do anything,
05:52I am so sick of this,
05:54Guards,
05:55Get him out of here,
05:56Two massive enforcers grabbed or rest,
05:58Alexia,
05:59The pup is crowning,
06:01Remember where to press,
06:02Press it now,
06:03Bring on the contraction,
06:04They hauled him into the hall,
06:06Push on the next one,
06:07Don't give up,
06:08Save the pup,
06:09The door slammed shut,
06:11Serafina pulled out her phone,
06:13She started a video call,
06:14Callan,
06:15You need to see your mate's latest performance,
06:18She flipped the camera toward me,
06:20I saw Callan on the screen,
06:21Standing outside Regina's private suite,
06:23When he saw the blood pooled around me,
06:25He froze,
06:25Real shot with flesh in his eyes,
06:29But he masked it instantly,
06:31What's wrong with her?
06:32She's faking,
06:34She bled a little,
06:35Oris is just being dramatic,
06:37Callan,
06:38Is that Alexia?
06:39He's blaming me again?
06:41Serafina,
06:42Keep her locked down,
06:43I'm not leaving this floor,
06:46Hear that?
06:47You and your bastard pup mean nothing,
06:50Regina comes first,
06:52You thought marrying the alpha made you untouchable?
06:54Consider this a reality check,
06:57I closed my eyes,
06:58I tuned her out completely,
07:00My shaking fingers reached for my neck,
07:02For the crescent distress pendant at my throat,
07:05My dad gave it to me on my wedding day,
07:07Before I left my home pack,
07:09He had ruled,
07:10They're too long,
07:10And too fiercely,
07:12For anyone to refuse his call,
07:14If you are ever trapped,
07:15If you are ever dying,
07:17Crush it,
07:18My phone found the hidden ledge on the back,
07:20Serafina was still pacing,
07:22Still running her mouth,
07:24Some nobody from a weak pack?
07:26You married into this pack for power,
07:28I almost laughed,
07:29Callan had assumed my home pack was weak,
07:31Because I had never bothered to correct him,
07:33I squeezed the pendant,
07:34I pressed the latch with everything I had left,
07:37No sound,
07:38No flashing light,
07:39But I knew,
07:40The signal went out,
07:41My dad promised help would come in 30 minutes,
07:44I clutched my belly,
07:4530 minutes,
07:46Could my baby survive 30 minutes?
07:49I was fading fast,
07:50Serafina stood over me,
07:52Still running her mouth,
07:53He marked you for the baby,
07:55Nothing more,
07:56That doesn't make you lunar,
07:57I didn't answer,
07:58I just dug my thumb into the spot he'd show me,
08:01Pushing as hard as I could,
08:03Praying for America,
08:03The drugs had completely worn off,
08:06The pup was coming,
08:07A scream ripped from my throat,
08:09Serafina stepped back in disgust,
08:11God, you're annoying,
08:14Leah,
08:15Get in here and deal with her,
08:19The pup is crowning,
08:21Then get it out,
08:22But,
08:23I'm not a healer,
08:25She's hemorrhaging,
08:27We have nothing,
08:29They're both going to die,
08:31Then that's her fate,
08:34I'm going to watch the true heir be born,
08:37Keep an eye on her,
08:39Don't let her bleed out too fast,
08:41That child still carries alpha blood,
08:44The door slammed shut,
08:45Leaving me alone with a terrified girl,
08:47Another contraction tore through me,
08:49But I couldn't push,
08:50I had lost way too much blood,
08:52My body was shutting down,
08:54The baby was stuck,
08:55The clock kept ticking,
08:56Every single second,
08:57Was pure agony,
08:58And then,
08:59A deafening crash,
09:02The steel door was kicked right off its hinges,
09:05A squad of pack warriors stormed in,
09:07Clad in peach black combat gear,
09:09Leading them was Luca,
09:11Massive,
09:11Deadly,
09:12My father's war commander from Silvermoon,
09:14The largest pack in the south,
09:16Goddess,
09:17I am so sorry we're late,
09:19Luca,
09:20Don't speak,
09:21Save your strength,
09:22He spun back to his men,
09:24Get the trauma team up here,
09:26Now,
09:26Giuseppe,
09:27Lock down every exit in this building,
09:29Leia tried to make a run for it,
09:31A guard snapped her heart against the floor,
09:32Let me go,
09:34This is dark moon territory,
09:35You can't just barge in here,
09:37Luca slowly rose to his full height,
09:39His pupils were wide,
09:41Shifting into pure,
09:42Predatory gold,
09:43He stared down at her,
09:44Dark moon territory,
09:47By tomorrow morning,
09:49There won't be a dark moon pack,
09:52One minute later,
09:54The trauma team rushed in,
09:56They loaded me onto a mobile gurney,
09:58Pushed me into a concealed medical transport,
10:01Inside was a full surgical unit,
10:03Monitors,
10:04Ventilators,
10:05High end equipment,
10:06Blood pressure dropping,
10:07She's in hemorrhagic shock,
10:09Fetal distress,
10:10We need an emergency c-section right now,
10:12But her vitals are crashing,
10:14The surgery is too risky,
10:16Luca jumping into the transport,
10:18Do it,
10:19I take full responsibility,
10:21I grabbed his wrist,
10:22With my last hands of strength,
10:24Save my baby,
10:25Please,
10:26Save him first,
10:28Don't speak miss,
10:29Save your strength,
10:31Your father is on his way,
10:32You just have to hold on,
10:34You and the pup are going to make it,
10:36Cardiac arrest,
10:38Paddle,
10:38Now,
10:39The fetal trace is crashing,
10:41We're losing the pup's heartbeat,
10:42No,
10:42Keep trying,
10:43Keep trying,
10:44It's too late,
10:45The pup,
10:46There's no heartbeat,
10:47The baby is gone,
10:49And then,
10:49Everything went black,
10:51Darkness,
10:52I don't know how much time passed,
10:54But finally,
10:55My eyes flattered open,
10:56I stared up at a strange ceiling,
10:58The sharp smell of bleach,
11:00Filled air,
11:01Alexia,
11:06Where is my baby?
11:07The entire room went dead silent,
11:10A few seconds later,
11:11A man turned around,
11:13Standing at the foot of my bed,
11:15It was my father,
11:17Deep lines of grief,
11:18Etched into his face,
11:20Dad,
11:24Alexia,
11:26He's gone,
11:27Isn't he?
11:29The blood loss,
11:31The pup was deprived of oxygen for too long,
11:34Our healers tried everything,
11:41Where is Callan?
11:43He's with Regina,
11:45She had a boy,
11:47They've already forgotten you,
11:49A bitter,
11:50Hollow laugh escaped my lips,
11:52The sound even scared me,
11:53Dad,
11:54I need a favor,
11:56I want a corpse,
11:57That looks like me,
11:59I want Dark Moon,
12:00To believe I died that night,
12:02We can do it,
12:03A substituted body,
12:05Scent masking,
12:06By the time they see her,
12:07Even a mate won't smell past death,
12:09Wolf laid,
12:10And your blood,
12:39To Alpha Callan,
12:40The path to the infirmary,
12:42The path to the infirmary,
12:42Was dead quiet,
12:43A thick trail of blood,
12:44Led down to the holding cells,
12:46My heart skipped a beat,
12:48Why the underground cells?
12:50Alpha Callan,
12:52I am so sorry,
12:54Massive hemorrhage,
12:56Hyperbluemic shock,
12:57We lost them both,
12:59Drained of all blood,
13:00Eyes shut,
13:01Chest perfectly still,
13:02It was my Alicia,
13:04My mate,
13:06Why didn't anyone tell me,
13:08Why didn't anyone tell me,
13:09She was bleeding out,
13:13Alpha,
13:13I tried everything,
13:15But Miss Serafina,
13:16Said she was faking,
13:17She wouldn't let me treat her,
13:21Callan,
13:22I thought it was an act,
13:23She was just putting on a show again,
13:28You hit me,
13:31So you locked her in a holding cell,
13:33Like a rogue,
13:35Like she was nothing,
13:36I just told her to wait,
13:38She is your mate,
13:39Two lives,
13:40Serafina,
13:41I told you to watch over her,
13:43And this is what you do,
13:45I did it for the pack,
13:47For the air,
13:49The air,
13:51Deep inside the moonshine,
13:52I carried her casket to myself,
13:55Placed it right before the moon goddess statue,
13:57I knelt by the wood,
13:58Staring down at Alessia's face,
14:03Callan,
14:03You haven't eaten in a week,
14:05Alexia is gone,
14:06Why are you doing this to yourself,
14:07Do you know how terrified,
14:08She must have been,
14:09Lying alone in that freezing cell,
14:11Waiting to die,
14:12It was to make sure,
14:13The air was born safely,
14:14You made the right choice,
14:15As an alpha,
14:16So you think your pup's life,
14:17Was worth more than hers,
14:18Of course,
14:19This is Marcus's child,
14:20The only legitimate heir,
14:22To Dark Moon,
14:23Callan,
14:23Stop obsessing over a dead woman,
14:25I gave this pack,
14:26Its heir,
14:26I'm the one Dark Moon needs,
14:27Get out,
14:29Take your pup,
14:30And get out of my sight,
14:33I slumped down against the casket,
14:35And buried my face in my hands,
14:37Through the hidden camera feed,
14:39I watched his shoulders shake,
14:41What an absolute joke,
14:42He threw me away like garbage,
14:44When I was alive,
14:45Now he wants to play the grieving mate,
14:51Heavy footsteps pounded down the hall,
14:53Tony burst into the room,
14:55Alpha,
14:55It's a disaster,
14:56Our border patrols were completely wiped up,
14:59The Silver Moon pack hit our eastern and southern territories,
15:02Every single guard is dead,
15:03I froze,
15:04Our iron and medical supply lines are cut,
15:06Three allied packs broke their treaties on the spot,
15:09Even the pack council froze our credit line,
15:11And worse,
15:13Silver Moon has moved against us,
15:15No pack will stand with us now,
15:16The bad news just kept coming,
15:18Generations built Dark Moon,
15:20Now it was falling apart,
15:21Who was doing this,
15:22How did they know exactly where to hit us,
15:24Tony,
15:25Find out who is pulling the strings,
15:28I want a name,
15:29Three days later,
15:30The two encrypted phones on my desk wouldn't stop ringing,
15:34Another territory lost,
15:35Alpha,
15:36We haven't tracked down the mastermind yet,
15:38But we found something else,
15:41Those birth herbs,
15:42It was Regina who stole them,
15:45He slid a photo across my desk,
15:47It was Regina,
15:48Clutching a small glass vial,
15:50My hands started to shake,
15:52And there's this,
15:53You need to brace yourself,
15:54Alpha,
15:54He handed me a sealed bloodline test report,
15:57I ripped it open,
15:58My eyes scanned the bottom line,
16:00The air,
16:01He wasn't Marcus's,
16:02Then whose child is it?
16:04Roberto Santini,
16:05The beta of the Santini pack,
16:08Our deadliest rival,
16:10Now it all made sense,
16:11Regina betrayed Marcus,
16:13Got pregnant by the enemy,
16:14Then framed Alessia to cover it up,
16:16And I,
16:17I believed every lie she told me,
16:20Tony,
16:21Get every elder to the council chamber,
16:23Now!
16:24One hour later,
16:25The chamber was full,
16:27Regina walked in,
16:28Holding the pup,
16:29Smiling,
16:30She thought this was another celebration for her,
16:32Then she saw my face,
16:33The smile vanished,
16:35I turned on the screen,
16:36First image,
16:37Regina in a motel room,
16:39Kissing a man,
16:40Regina shot to her feet,
16:42Her face went white,
16:43Callan,
16:44They're fake,
16:45That baby is Marcus's and mine,
16:47Someone's framing me,
16:49Then I pulled up the second image,
16:51The bloodline report filled the screen,
16:53Match probability,
16:53That child is not of dark moon blood,
16:56His father is Roberto Santini,
16:59Second in command of the Santini pack,
17:01Our sworn enemy,
17:03You betrayed my dead brother,
17:04You slept with the enemy,
17:05Got pregnant with his bastard,
17:06Then tried to pass him off as dark moon's heir,
17:08Marcus found out,
17:09Didn't he?
17:09That's why you sold out his location,
17:11You're the one who got him killed,
17:12Yes,
17:13Marcus found out about me and Roberto,
17:15He said he'd expose me,
17:16I couldn't let that happen,
17:21Now you know the truth,
17:23Now you know who you helped kill Alessia for,
17:26I know I was wrong,
17:28But I thought I was protecting the pack,
17:30I thought I was protecting Marcus's bloodline,
17:33For what?
17:33For an enemy's pup?
17:34You locked Alessia in that underground cell,
17:37You let her bleed out to protect our enemy's child,
17:41Lock her in that same stone cell,
17:43No food,
17:43No water,
17:44Let her feel what Alessia felt,
17:46Let her wait for death the way Alessia did,
17:49When it was over,
17:51I walked to the moon trine,
17:52I dropped to my knees beside the casket,
17:54I found the truth Alessia,
17:56But it doesn't change what I did to you,
18:01I'm sorry,
18:02I'm so damn sorry,
18:06Three months passed,
18:07I looked around my empty office,
18:09The portraits of past alphas were still on the walls,
18:12The moon goddess relics still sat on a desk,
18:15My great grandfather's ritual blade too,
18:17Everything else was gone,
18:18Sold,
18:19Most of the money went to debt,
18:20What was left,
18:21I gave to the pack members before they left,
18:23A final settlement,
18:25Enough for them to leave Darkmoon behind,
18:27One week later,
18:28I moved into a run down apartment,
18:30In the southern quarter,
18:32Not because I was broke,
18:33Because I didn't deserve anything better,
18:35I killed my mate,
18:37My wolf howled inside me,
18:39Day and night,
18:40Every night,
18:41I called Alessia's number,
18:42Every night,
18:43I left another voicemail,
18:46Alexia,
18:47I know you can't hear this,
18:48But I need to say it,
18:50This was my fault,
18:51I killed you,
18:53I killed our baby,
18:55I drove Regina out,
18:57Serafina was punished too,
18:59But none of that brings you back,
19:01Brings you back,
19:02I sold everything,
19:04I sold everything,
19:04The land,
19:04The businesses,
19:05All of it,
19:06But I kept one thing,
19:07Enough to buy a burial plot,
19:09Right beside yours,
19:10Maybe I can spend eternity,
19:11Trying to earn your forgiveness,
19:13Every afternoon,
19:15I went to the cemetery,
19:16I sat by her headstone,
19:18For hours,
19:19I'm scared I'm going to forget your voice,
19:21Your smile,
19:23The way you smelled,
19:25Camellias,
19:26Cold night air,
19:28My wolf is dying,
19:29Alessia,
19:30It doesn't eat,
19:31It doesn't drink,
19:33It doesn't move,
19:34It just lies there,
19:36Waiting to be with you again,
19:38Truth is,
19:41So am I,
19:42Selt,
19:44Sever moon pack,
19:45My phone kept buzzing,
19:46On the table,
19:47Just like always,
19:48I didn't answer,
19:49The call died on its own,
19:51Then Callan's broken voice,
19:53Filled the room,
19:54This was my fault,
19:55I killed you,
19:57By now,
19:57I felt nothing,
19:59At first,
19:59I listened to every message,
20:01His apologies,
20:02His pain,
20:03The way he tore himself apart,
20:05I listened with no expression at all,
20:07Then my dad walked in,
20:08He looked at the phone,
20:10He said nothing,
20:11He just handed me a file,
20:13Dark moon is gone for good,
20:15And Callan's in bad shape,
20:17I took the file,
20:18Flipped through it,
20:19Faster than I expected,
20:22Alessia,
20:23Are you really gonna watch him die?
20:25I looked up,
20:27What else would I do?
20:28Dad,
20:29Do you think I should forgive him?
20:31He deserves to die,
20:33I'm just scared you'll get trapped in this,
20:34I closed the file,
20:36I closed the file,
20:37Smiled a little,
20:38Don't worry,
20:39The moment my baby died,
20:41I was done,
20:43Now I'm just here to collect,
20:45You've changed,
20:47You used to laugh all the time,
20:49Now even your smile doesn't look real,
20:51People grow up,
20:53Some people need time,
20:55For them one betrayal and one death are enough,
20:58My dad didn't say anything else,
21:00He just stood there with me a while,
21:01Then he left,
21:03Three years later,
21:03I took my father's seat,
21:05A billion dollar deal signed,
21:06Alessia,
21:07Silvermane,
21:08Silvermoon swept the east coast,
21:09All under my rule,
21:11Alpha,
21:11The report you asked for,
21:13About the north,
21:14It's all in here,
21:15Luca handed me a folder,
21:17Callan of Darkmoon,
21:18Less than six months left,
21:20His wolf was close to going dark,
21:21I closed the folder,
21:23I closed the folder,
21:25Get the car ready,
21:26Now,
21:27The forecast says a blizzard is coming tonight,
21:31Now,
21:33North,
21:34Ashen Cemetery,
21:35Snow was coming down hard,
21:37The moon was gone,
21:38Buried behind thick clouds,
21:40I stood in front,
21:41Of a new headstone,
21:43My son's,
21:43White marble,
21:45Carved into it,
21:45Was a tiny wolf pup,
21:47Curled in the arms of the moon,
21:49I sat a white rose,
21:50On the stone,
21:52Mom's here,
21:53Through the wind,
21:53I heard footsteps,
21:55Heavy,
21:56Dragging,
21:56Like an old wolf,
21:58About to fall,
21:59I turned around,
22:00A figure staggered through the blizzard,
22:02Callan,
22:03His hair was completely white,
22:04His cheeks were hollow,
22:06Those golden alpha eyes,
22:07That once shook the whole north,
22:08Were dim now,
22:10Clouded,
22:10Like dying embers,
22:12He barely even smelled like a wolf,
22:13Namor,
22:14Just a dying man in the snow,
22:16No,
22:17No,
22:18That's not possible,
22:19Another hallucination,
22:21The healer said it's all in my head,
22:23My wolf's gone mad,
22:25I said nothing,
22:26He dragged himself closer,
22:28Shock,
22:28Wild joy,
22:29Then fear,
22:30Alexia,
22:31He reached for me,
22:32You're alive?
22:32I step back,
22:36Don't touch me,
22:37But I saw your body,
22:39I smelled you,
22:41Your scent was gone,
22:41That body was fake,
22:43I'm Alessia Silverhone,
22:44My father is the alpha of Silvermoon,
22:46I'm his only heir,
22:48It was you,
22:49The territories,
22:50The businesses,
22:51The ambushes on our patrols,
22:53All of it?
22:54Yes,
22:55Why didn't you tell me who you were?
22:56Because my father would have never approved,
22:58So I hid it,
22:59I married you behind his back,
23:01If I had known who you were,
23:03I never would have,
23:03Never would have what?
23:04Treated me like that?
23:06Let me die,
23:08Callan stop lying to yourself,
23:10You never loved me,
23:11You loved a version of me,
23:12You thought you could control,
23:13A woman you thought had no pack,
23:15No power in coming for her,
23:17Someone easy to discard,
23:18So why are you here?
23:21To watch me fall apart?
23:24No,
23:25You're not worth that,
23:27I came to see my son,
23:32Our baby,
23:33My son,
23:35You don't have the right,
23:39I think about him every day,
23:41What he would have looked like,
23:42What color his eyes would have been,
23:44If he'd be scared the first time he shifted,
23:46But,
23:47He died,
23:48Because of me,
23:48I know,
23:49I pay for it every day,
23:51My wolf mourned him every night,
23:52Until it couldn't mourn anymore,
23:54You think that's enough?
23:55Alexia,
23:57Please,
23:58Forgive me,
23:59I never got you,
24:00Callan,
24:01But I never forgave you either,
24:04Please,
24:05I can make it up to you,
24:08With what?
24:09Your life?
24:10He reached for his own throat,
24:11Under wolf law,
24:12That was total surrender,
24:14Lower than kneeling,
24:15Worse than death,
24:16I give you my throat,
24:17You can tear it out,
24:19I won't fight back,
24:20I don't need your life,
24:22Watching you suffer is enough,
24:23Please don't leave me again,
24:25Alessia,
24:26I love you,
24:27I always loved you,
24:29From the first time I caught your scent,
24:31My wolf chose you,
24:32It was always you,
24:34You loved a ghost,
24:35A version of me you thought you could own,
24:38No,
24:39No,
24:41But the real me,
24:42You never knew her,
24:44I had my own pack,
24:45My own power,
24:47My own fangs,
24:53Behind me,
24:54Callan let out one last howl,
24:56Not human,
24:57Weak,
24:58Broken,
24:59Then gone,
25:00Swallowed by the storm,
25:01I never turned back,
25:03The blizzard was shut out,
25:04Luca glanced at me,
25:05Through the rear view mirror,
25:07He didn't say a word,
25:08I closed my eyes,
25:09In the dark,
25:10I let myself feel it,
25:11For three seconds,
25:13Only three,
25:13Then I opened my eyes,
25:15Let's go,
25:16The engine started,
25:18The car pulled away from the cemetery,
25:20Snow kept falling,
25:22Soon,
25:23It covered the blood,
25:24Everything he left behind,
25:26As if none of it had ever happened,
25:28Six months later,
25:30Spring had reached the south,
25:31New bots covered the park outside,
25:33Alpha,
25:34We got word from the north,
25:36I didn't look up,
25:37I just kept signing the papers in front of me,
25:39What is it?
25:41Alpha Canaan is dead,
25:42My pain stopped for one second,
25:45A tiny dot of ink bled onto the page,
25:47Then I kept writing,
25:49How did he die?
25:50Froze to death in an alley behind the market,
25:52He lost his ability to shift,
25:54His wolf was gone a month earlier,
25:57What else?
25:58Luca pulled a clear evidence bag,
25:59From his coat,
26:01He sighted on my desk,
26:03He was holding a photo,
26:04The patrol team had to pry it out of his frozen,
26:06I looked down,
26:07It was an old photo,
26:09The corners were worn soft,
26:10In the picture,
26:11I was standing in Docmo Manor's garden,
26:14Sun on my face,
26:15Smiling,
26:15I remembered that day,
26:17The first spring after our mating ceremony,
26:19You smell like home,
26:21I turned the photo over,
26:22There was writing on the back,
26:24Crooked,
26:25Shaky,
26:26Handle the funeral,
26:27Bury him in Ashton Cemetery,
26:29Near your son's grave,
26:31No,
26:32Further away,
26:34Yes Alpha,
26:35Luca,
26:36Put one white rose there,
26:38Just one,
26:39Yes Alpha,
26:40He left,
26:41The office went quiet,
26:42Sunlight spilled through the floor to ceiling windows,
26:45Landing on my left hand,
26:47My ring finger was bare,
26:49The only sound in the room,
26:50Was a scratch of ink,
26:51Across paper,
26:52Far outside,
26:53Wind moved between the towers,
26:55With a low moan,
26:57Maybe,
26:57It was a wolf howl,
26:59Maybe,
26:59It was the wind,
27:01Maybe,
27:01It was nothing at all,
27:03I never looked up,
27:05I never looked up,
27:06I never looked up,
27:06I never looked up,
27:06I never looked up,
27:06I never looked up,
27:07I never looked up,
27:07I never looked up,
