Fatal 72 Hours Begging The Alpha Queen's Return

Short filmTranscript
00:00I was the first female alpha in the history of the Silver Moon pack to earn the ultimate mark of
00:05honor.
00:06For 15 years, I bled for my people.
00:09Yet my mate called me cold, my pack called me a tyrant.
00:12Even my own parents and my little girl claimed they loved my adopted Omega sister, Leah, more than me.
00:18So, with only three days left to live, I made a choice.
00:21I would give them everything they ever wanted.
00:24I would hand over my entire life to the perfect woman they all adored.
00:27So why, after learning the truth, did they come back in tears and asking for another chance?
00:32I forced my broken body to stay upright, my eyes fixed on the pack territory beyond.
00:37Beneath my shirt, jagged, blackened veins crawled up my chest.
00:42The silver poison was inching closer to my heart.
00:45It was a parting gift from the rogue ambush on our borders.
00:48The High Priestess had made it painfully clear.
00:51Without the Moon Goddess's purification ritual, I had 78 hours left.
00:55Three days, at most.
00:57But when I dragged my bleeding, battered body to the High Priestess,
01:01I found my entire pack gathered around my adopted sister.
01:04They were fretting over a tiny, superficial silver scratch on her arm.
01:08Footsteps approached from behind.
01:09It was Cain.
01:11Are you alright?
01:12He wore that familiar look of impatient obligation.
01:15I'm fine.
01:16Elder Laurel said you urgently need the purification ritual, but...
01:21But Leah needs it more, right?
01:23You have to understand, Alice.
01:25Leah's barely hanging on.
01:26She's an Omega.
01:28You...
01:28You look fine.
01:31Leah.
01:31The stray I had begged my parents to adopt when I was 12.
01:34She was an Omega.
01:35Sweet, fragile, and desperate for protection.
01:37I had loved her like my own flesh and blood, never imagining she would strip me of everything I held
01:42dear.
01:42Of course I looked fine.
01:44No one knew that I was using every ounce of my Alpha Aura to suppress the rotting agony inside me
01:50just so they wouldn't worry.
01:52I understand.
01:54Since the pack has already voted, let her have the ritual.
01:58I knew you'd see reason.
02:00You've changed lately.
02:01You're not fighting everything the way you used to.
02:03Stubborn, overbearing, I scoffed inwardly.
02:06Ever since Leah arrived, every sacrifice I made for the pack was twisted into Alpha Arrogance and suppressing Omega Females.
02:14That night, I dragged my failing body back to our pack house.
02:20Mother!
02:21Mother!
02:22Ella!
02:23Alice!
02:25You're back.
02:27Leah was lounging in my favorite armchair, draped in the silver fox plote I had gifted her, smiling like she
02:33owned the place.
02:35Ignoring the agonizing stabs in my chest, I walked into my private study and brought out an ancient carved wooden
02:41box.
02:42Leah, this is my grandmother's moon goddess amulet.
02:45I'm giving it to you.
02:47What?
02:48Sister!
02:49Sister! That's your most prized sacred relic!
02:52She was right.
02:53It was the heirloom of the silver moon bloodline.
02:57It's been passed down in my family for generations, but none of that mattered to me anymore.
03:02I'm also transferring my shares of Mother's Moonstone Mines to you.
03:05They're yours, effective immediately.
03:08Sister, what are you talking about?
03:12Consider it an early mating gift.
03:14Shock flashed through Leah's eyes, but she quickly masked it with her usual innocent, clueless expression.
03:21I know everything.
03:22It's fine.
03:23You have my blessing.
03:25Cain walked into the room at that exact moment.
03:27He froze, looking tense when he saw us standing so close.
03:31What are you two talking about?
03:33Alice is giving me the moon goddess amulet and her mind shares?
03:37Leah's eyes gleamed with cunning before filling with practiced tears.
03:42She's being far too generous.
03:44Alice, you...
03:44I'm exhausted.
03:46I'm going to bed.
03:50Ella, be a good girl and listen to Aunt Leah.
03:53Okay.
03:56Mama Leah, let's play another game.
03:58Mama Leah.
03:59The words felt like a silver blade plunging straight into my heart.
04:04I retreated to my bedroom and shut the door.
04:06Leaning against the wall, my legs finally gave out, and I collapsed to the floor.
04:10The silver poison was feasting on my life.
04:13Surrendering the purification ritual meant accelerating my own rotting death.
04:17Slowly, I began to pack up my things.
04:18My rare pelts, bone adornments, the raw moonstones.
04:22Soon, they would all belong to Leah.
04:24Two days left.
04:25I stared at the ghostly pale face reflecting in my mirror.
04:29Alice, if this is the end, then let them remember you as a perfect alpha.
04:35When I stepped out of my room, Ella's laughter drifted in from the yard.
04:40She was curled up in Leah's lap, the two of them watching the moon mar glow in the early light.
04:46Mama Leah, it's so pretty!
04:50It is.
04:53Almost as pretty as our Ella.
05:00When Ella saw me, her heartbeat skimmed over me for a heartbeat before she looked away again,
05:04turning back to the moss as if I were nothing but a stranger passing through.
05:10Good morning, Ella.
05:13Morning.
05:15Mama Leah, can we go to the creek and look for silver-scale fish?
05:19Just a second, baby.
05:23Your mother might want to say something to you.
05:25I don't want to listen.
05:27Mother's always busy.
05:29She never plays with me.
05:32Something lodged hard in my throat.
05:35She wasn't wrong.
05:36For years, I had given everything to the pack.
05:39I had given her too little.
05:41Leah, on the other hand, always had time for her.
05:45It's okay.
05:46Go enjoy yourselves.
05:51I watched them run off hand in hand.
05:53The only thing that kept me upright was the tree beside me.
05:58Not just because agony was ripping through my body.
06:01Because what was happening to my heart hurt even more.
06:05In the center of the territory,
06:07Kane was speaking in low voices with several pack members.
06:11The second they saw me coming,
06:13they broke apart and scattered.
06:16Kane glanced up at me without changing expression.
06:19You look awful.
06:20If you don't feel well, go lie down.
06:24I'm fine.
06:25I need to talk to you.
06:32About what?
06:33I slid the prepared contract across the table.
06:36I want to make some changes.
06:39Kane took one look at it.
06:41Alice, you're stepping down as Alpha?
06:43Yes.
06:44If something happens to me,
06:46I want Leah to inherit the position.
06:49What?
06:52Yes.
06:53If something happens to me,
06:55I want Leah to inherit the position.
06:58What?
06:59Kane's voice shook.
07:00His eyes dropped to the contract,
07:02then snapped back to me.
07:04You're giving her your grandmother's moon goddess amulet too?
07:07And your shares in the moonstone mine your mother left you?
07:09Alice, those are family holdings.
07:11They've been passed down for generations.
07:13She suits them better than I do.
07:16Call it my gift for your union.
07:19The air between us turned ice cold.
07:22Kane studied me carefully.
07:25Alice,
07:26what exactly are you trying to do?
07:28Nothing.
07:29I'm just tired.
07:30I want to move on.
07:31You knew?
07:33My parents can't even look me in the eye.
07:35The pack's been acting strange around me.
07:37You and Leah reek of each other,
07:38and my daughter calls her mama Leah.
07:40A bitter smile tugged at my lips.
07:42Kane, did you really think I didn't know?
07:45I don't blame either of you.
07:47This is on me too.
07:49I'm too controlling.
07:51Too hard.
07:52Too much of an alpha for anyone's comfort.
07:55Leah is soft.
07:57Gentle.
07:57Easy to love.
07:58She never pushes back.
08:00She fits you better.
08:02And this pack too.
08:04Alice!
08:05This afternoon,
08:06I'll go to Elder Laurel.
08:08I'll sever our mate bond
08:09and formally hand the succession to Leah.
08:11She'll be this pack's next leader.
08:14Have you lost your mind?
08:15Do you have any idea what you're throwing away?
08:17You spent 15 years fighting for it!
08:21I haven't lost my mind.
08:26Maybe this way everyone gets what they want.
08:29That afternoon,
08:30the council convened.
08:32The news spread like wildfire.
08:34Alpha Alice had formally severed her bond with Beta Kane.
08:37She'd then presented her Omega sister to the pack's Elder Council
08:42and renounced her claim as Alpha.
08:44Alice, you can't be serious.
08:46I am.
08:47I pressed my ceremonial seal into the great Alpha Stone.
08:50My mark sank into the ancient granite,
08:52taking its place among the liniish of Silvermoon leaders.
08:56From this day forward,
08:59Leah's word on pack matters is law.
09:01A tremor of triumph ran through Leah,
09:04but she masked it beautifully,
09:06lowering her head in a show of perfect humility.
09:10Sister,
09:12I...
09:12I don't know what to say.
09:19You don't have to say anything.
09:21Just lead them well.
09:23It wasn't until we were on the path back to the pack house
09:26that she finally dropped the act.
09:28Alice,
09:29why are you really doing this?
09:33Because this is what you wanted, isn't it?
09:35My pack,
09:36my parents,
09:37my mate,
09:37even my own daughter.
09:39Leah, you've won.
09:40Sister,
09:41I just need one thing from you.
09:43Whatever this is between us,
09:44keep it away from Ella.
09:45She's just a child.
09:47Of course.
09:48You don't need to worry about her.
09:51I nodded once and said no more.
09:55I could have showed them the proof.
09:57I could have let the whole pack the snake she truly was.
10:01But if Leah was exiled or executed,
10:04Ella would lose two mothers in a single day.
10:07I would rather let her grow up loved by a lie
10:10than raised in the ruins of hatred and betrayal.
10:14That evening,
10:15I was packing up the last of my belongings
10:17when Elder Laurel entered my room.
10:20She was the old wolf who had watched me grow up.
10:22The only one who knew the entire truth.
10:25My child.
10:28Please burn them.
10:29Inside,
10:30the proof was undeniable.
10:32Leah's secret pact with the rogues.
10:33The plans for the silver attack
10:35that almost destroyed us.
10:36The faked prophecies she'd blasphemously claimed
10:39were from the moon goddess.
10:40And the letters.
10:41The ones that proved everything between her and Cain.
10:44But child,
10:45with this we could...
10:46Ella still needs a mother.
10:53Even if that mother isn't me.
10:56On the morning of my last day,
10:58I could barely move.
11:00The poison had seeped from my heart
11:02into every cell.
11:04A thousand tiny ants
11:05chewing away at me
11:06with every breath.
11:10I stared at my reflection in the mirror.
11:13Pale.
11:14Gaunt.
11:16The sharp, fiery light in my eyes
11:18had burned out,
11:19leaving nothing but dull embers.
11:23Twenty-four hours left.
11:25Today was the day of Cain
11:27and Leah's mating ceremony.
11:30Leah was there,
11:31directing the other wolves.
11:33Alice.
11:34I turned.
11:35In my mother's hands
11:36was the moonstone crown,
11:37the ancestral relic
11:38meant to be passed down to me.
11:40I'm so proud of you, Alice.
11:41We are relieved, Alice.
11:42For years,
11:43you've led with force first
11:44and everything else second.
11:45Yeah.
11:45Leah brings calm
11:46where you bring pressure.
11:47Stepping aside
11:48may be this truly selfless thing
11:49you've done for this path.
11:50I turned and walked
11:51away before they could
11:52say another word.
11:53The ceremony began
11:54as the full moon rose
11:55with the entire pack
11:56gathered around it.
11:57Their alpha showing up
11:58at the mating ceremony
11:59of her former mate
12:00and the one he had chosen instead.
12:02You actually came.
12:03I said I would.
12:04Congratulations to both of you.
12:06Alice.
12:11Sister,
12:11thank you for coming.
12:13Thank you all for coming tonight
12:14to witness my mating ceremony
12:15with Leah.
12:16And most of all,
12:16I want to thank Alice
12:17for making this union possible
12:18and for her blessing.
12:20I also want to thank
12:22my sister, Alice.
12:23She gave me everything.
12:24A family,
12:25her kindness,
12:26and now,
12:27her mate.
12:28I'm the luckiest she-wolf alive.
12:30I watched them
12:31cling to each other
12:31at the altar
12:32and felt absolutely
12:33nothing but cold.
12:35Mother,
12:37Mama Leah sent me
12:38to tell you
12:39it's time to exchange
12:40the mating tokens.
12:42Thank you for telling me.
12:44Mama Leah wants you
12:45to stay in the back.
12:46She said you'll ruin
12:47her special day.
12:52I want to tell you.
12:53I don't want to hear it.
12:54You ruin everything.
12:56Mama Leah gets sad
12:57because of you.
12:58I hate you.
12:59Mama, Mama Leah.
13:01Look at her.
13:02Even her own pups
13:03can't stand to breathe her air.
13:05Don't blame the kid.
13:06Alice brings the ice.
13:07Leah actually mothers her.
13:08I hate you.
13:09My flesh and blood.
13:10The pup I had carried
13:12for months.
13:12The pup I had nearly died
13:14to bring into this world.
13:15And she hated me.
13:17I stood in the middle
13:18of my own pack.
13:18Nothing but a ghost
13:19crashing a party.
13:21My mate.
13:21My daughter.
13:22My pack.
13:23They all belong to Leah now.
13:24I was the one
13:25who didn't belong.
13:26The moon goddess herself
13:27must be weeping
13:28at such a beautiful bond.
13:29Look how much Ella
13:30and the pack adore Leah.
13:32Your mother is right.
13:32The pack isn't blind, Alice.
13:34They chose Leah
13:34because she is simply
13:35better suited.
13:36In their eyes,
13:37I had never been right.
13:39I never would be.
13:40When the ceremony ended,
13:42I walked away.
13:44No one noticed.
13:46They were all too busy
13:47farnding over the happy couple.
13:49Back at my room,
13:51Elder Laurel was waiting for me.
13:53Do me a favor.
13:55Anything, Alpha.
13:56There are recordings in here.
13:59Tomorrow,
14:00when the moon rises,
14:02play it for the entire pack.
14:03Is this...
14:04My last words.
14:06The pack deserves to hear them.
14:08This one is for my parents
14:10and this one is for Ella.
14:12Give it to her
14:13when she comes of age.
14:15Child.
14:17One last thing.
14:18This is the true Alpha signet.
14:20The real symbol of our bloodline.
14:22Keep it safe for Ella.
14:23Tell her,
14:24tell her mommy
14:24will always love her.
14:25With everything arranged,
14:26I slumped back in my chair.
14:28I had nothing left to give.
14:29In the distance,
14:30the pack howled into the night.
14:32Blessing Cain and Leah's union.
14:33When the sun rose,
14:35everything would shatter.
14:36Did night my pack.
14:37I hope you remember
14:38for the rest of your lives
14:39that I loved you all more
14:40than I should have.
14:41As the moon slipped
14:42below the horizon,
14:44Alice's heart beat its last.
14:46Elder Label sank to her knees,
14:48tears streaming down her face.
14:50She pressed a gentle kiss
14:51to Alice's cooling hand.
14:53At dawn,
14:53Elder Laurel stood alone
14:54at the altar.
14:55To the altar.
14:56Now.
14:57The Elder's voice
14:58echoed through the pack link,
15:00jarring every wolf
15:01from their sleep.
15:03What is it, Elder?
15:04It's barely sunrise.
15:05Alpha Alice is dead.
15:08Impossible.
15:08She was at the ceremony
15:09last night.
15:10The silver poison claimed her.
15:11Our alpha died hours ago.
15:13What?
15:13This is no time for jokes.
15:15She was perfectly fine.
15:16Cain,
15:16she has been gone for hours.
15:18No.
15:19This has to be another one
15:21of her moves.
15:21Leah warned me
15:22she was faking her illness lately.
15:24Faking it.
15:25Then perhaps you should see this.
15:29Silverleaf,
15:30a fatal dose.
15:32She's been taking this amount
15:33daily for the last three days.
15:35What?
15:35Just so none of you
15:36would see her suffer.
15:38She...
15:38Three days ago,
15:40the High Priestess told her
15:41she had three days to live.
15:42The only chance
15:44of a purification ritual
15:46that could help
15:47was the one
15:48you gave to Leah.
15:52At that same moment,
15:53deep within the pack's territory,
15:55the Elder's voice
15:56broke into Alice's parents' minds.
15:59What?
16:01Alice surrendered her claim
16:02to the Moonstone Mines?
16:03Laurel, are you certain?
16:05Those are the richest mines
16:06in our territory.
16:07She signed the contract herself.
16:09Just before the ceremony,
16:11she transferred all rights
16:12to Leah.
16:16Impossible.
16:17Alice loved her sister,
16:19but she would never
16:20give away her birthright.
16:21It's not just the mines.
16:22She abdicated her alpha title.
16:25She even returned
16:26the Moon Goddess amulet
16:27you gifted her.
16:28What?
16:29It is done.
16:30A legal contract.
16:32Sealed by a blood oath.
16:34What in the goddess name
16:36was that child thinking?
16:38She seemed so calm last night.
16:41This is wrong.
16:43Alice would never be this impulsive.
16:45Why give everything to Leah?
16:48It's not like her.
16:49Do you think
16:51seeing Cain and Leah mated
16:52maybe it pushed her over the edge?
16:56Find her.
16:57I tried.
16:58The house is empty.
16:59She left alone after the ceremony.
17:00I was going to talk to her today.
17:02Tell her not to be too heartbroken.
17:04You have the gall to say that now?
17:06You were always praising Leah.
17:08Always calling Alice
17:09too aggressive,
17:10too strong.
17:11Well, here you are.
17:12Alice gave her everything.
17:14Are you satisfied now?
17:15How was I supposed to know
17:16she'd do this?
17:18I felt sorry for Leah,
17:19but Alice is my daughter.
17:21My own flesh and blood.
17:25What good is saying that now?
17:27We have to find her.
17:28They began a frantic search.
17:30They checked the border patrols,
17:32the council chambers,
17:34Alice's favorite sacred tree.
17:36The answer was the same everywhere.
17:39Goodbye.
17:40Don't say such things.
17:41It's the truth.
17:42She came by two days ago,
17:44marked every single weak point
17:45in our defenses and on the map.
17:47She gave specific instructions
17:49and she said
17:49she was going to the moon goddess.
17:53Alice.
17:54Alice.
17:55Alice, no.
17:55She gave everything to Leah.
17:58Could it be?
17:58Don't be ridiculous.
18:00Let's go to Cain's.
18:01She was just there last night, maybe.
18:03Cain rushed to Alice's room.
18:04The moment his fingers brushed
18:06against her ice-cold skin,
18:07he recoiled as if burned.
18:09I didn't know.
18:10Why didn't she say anything?
18:11And if she had,
18:12would you have given the chance
18:13of a purification ritual back?
18:16I...
18:16If I had known, I would have...
18:18Enough.
18:19She's dead.
18:21What's the point of this now?
18:23She chose silence.
18:25She always did.
18:26She was sick and still said nothing.
18:28Cain.
18:29The Alpha is gone
18:31and still you speak of her that way?
18:32It's just reality.
18:34She always had to be the strong one,
18:35always fighting,
18:36always in control.
18:37This is the price she paid.
18:39Leah, don't blame yourself.
18:40This has nothing to do with you.
18:43I don't want to hear it.
18:44Alice made her own choice.
18:46No one else is to blame.
18:47We need to arrange the funeral.
18:50Have her parents been notified?
18:51The Alpha's last wish
18:52was not to tell them.
18:54What?
18:54She said they looked happy last night.
18:56She didn't want to ruin their mood.
18:59Cain was silent for a moment.
19:00Fine.
19:01We'll tell them later.
19:03Leah, go get some rest.
19:05I'll handle this.
19:06Cain.
19:07I'm so scared.
19:11I'm here.
19:12I've got you.
19:16Cain.
19:17Over the last three days,
19:19the Alpha signed up all her assets to Leah.
19:21Her Alpha title,
19:23the Moonstone Mines,
19:24the Moon Goddess Amulant,
19:26everything.
19:27Good.
19:28It saves us a lot of trouble.
19:30I will see to the funeral arrangements.
19:36Yes, no one wept for the Alpha.
19:38This was her final, tragic truth.
19:41On the path,
19:42Alice's mother reached for her daughter
19:44through the pack link.
19:45She was met with a wall of absolute silence.
19:48Still nothing.
19:49Alice would never ignore me.
19:50Stay calm.
19:54I'll link Cain.
19:55The reply came almost instantly.
19:58Charles?
19:59Cain, is Alice with you?
20:02We can't feel her.
20:04The Elder said she signed everything to Leah.
20:06We're worried she might have...
20:08A few seconds of static.
20:10Where are you now?
20:12On our way to your place.
20:14Cain, is she there?
20:16Is she alright?
20:17You should just come quickly.
20:20What happened?
20:21Did something happen to Alice?
20:23Answer me!
20:24You'll see when you get here.
20:26Just come.
20:27Move!
20:28Something's wrong!
20:30My daughter!
20:3030 minutes later,
20:31they skidded to a halt before Cain's place.
20:34No.
20:35It can't be.
20:37They stumbled inside.
20:38In the main hall,
20:39Leah sat in a chair,
20:41her eyes red and swollen.
20:43Cain stood by the window,
20:44his back to them.
20:45Alice.
20:46Where is my daughter?
20:50Charles.
20:51Linda.
20:52Where is she?
20:53Tell us.
20:54In here.
20:55Please,
20:56accept my condolences.
20:58Condolences?
20:59What do you mean condolences?
21:02The door to the bedroom was open.
21:04Alice was lying peacefully on the bed.
21:07No!
21:09Alice!
21:09My baby!
21:11Wake up!
21:11Mom's here!
21:13Alice.
21:14How?
21:15You were fine last night?
21:17Oh!
21:18Oh!
21:18I was wrong.
21:19Everything I said,
21:20I was wrong.
21:21Please wake up and I'll make it right.
21:23I swear it.
21:23What happened?
21:24How could she just...
21:25It was the silver poison
21:26from the rogue attack.
21:27She passed this morning.
21:29Silver poison?
21:29Three days ago,
21:30the high priestess told her
21:31she had 72 hours to live
21:32without the purification ritual.
21:34But the chance
21:35was given to Leah.
21:37It wasn't like that.
21:37I was...
21:38I really was.
21:38I was so sick.
21:39These are the alpha's last words.
21:41Elder Laurel cut her off,
21:43holding out two sealed letters.
21:44The only sounds left
21:45were the rustle of parchment
21:47and the shattering of hearts.
21:48Cain's hands trembled as he read.
21:50The letter detailed everything.
21:53Devastating choices.
21:54The lonely thoughts
21:55that filled her last three days.
21:57My poor brave daughter!
21:58Elder Laurel stepped forward.
