Transcript
00:00My son wanted me dead. He poured Wolfsbane into my wine. Then he stood there and watched
00:06me choke to death. Everyone in the pack said I was the saddest woman alive. I was Alpha
00:12Dominic's lowest-ranking Omega mate, and the least wanted. The day I gave birth, Luna
00:18Victoria took my son from me, before I'd even held him properly. I didn't fight her. Victoria
00:24was the Luna. Powerful. Respected. My son would have a better life with her than he ever would
00:31with me. Years later, a pack of rogues attacked our territory. I threw myself in front of Dominic.
00:38The slash meant for his throat tore across my back instead. He said I had earned a reward.
00:44I could choose one of his sons. Raise him myself. I chose Logan. My blood. My child. I raised
00:53him for 20 years, and on the night he was named Alpha Air. He walked into my room carrying
00:59a glass of wine laced with Wolfsbane. I couldn't move. The poison paralyzed me. My wolf hauled
01:05inside me. Fought like hell, but it couldn't save me. Logan stood over me and watched foam
01:12spill from my mouth. His eyes were cold. If you'd left me with Luna Victoria, I'd already
01:17be air. All you ever did was drag me down. The last thing I saw was his face. No guilt.
01:24No
01:25hesitation. Just disgust. Then everything went black. When I opened my eyes again, I was standing
01:33in the great hall. Same stone walls. Same firelight. Same five boys lined up in front of the Alpha's
01:41chair. Alpha Dominic sat above them. Selene, you saved my life. You may choose one of my sons to
01:48raise. My heart slammed. I looked at the line. Logan stood first, dressed in the fine clothes
01:56Victoria had picked for him. That look in his eyes. Impatience. Barely hidden. Last time, I was so happy
02:05I missed the look in his eyes. Now it was impossible to miss. My stomach turned. I swallowed the nausea
02:12and
02:12forced myself to look past him. Past the second son. Past the third. At the end of the line, below
02:19the
02:20steps, stood a boy no one looked at. Finn. Head down. Kyle. The fourth son. His mother, Lyra, had been
02:29executed for breaking pack law. After that, no one wanted him. The servant said he was cursed. He was
02:36treated worse than the lowest omega in the manor. Thrown away. Hated just for being there. I knew that
02:43feeling too well. I took a breath. Raised my hand. Pointed straight at him. I want him. The hall went
02:51dead
02:52silent. Every head turned toward me. Like I've lost my mind. Alpha Dominic stared at me for a long
02:59moment. Then he let out a short breath. Almost a laugh. Kyle? Fine. He's quiet. You're steady. That should
03:09work. Take good care of him. Right there in the hall, he raised me to a beta ranking mate. Small
03:16promotion.
03:17Still more than I'd gotten in six years. But I knew the truth. He wasn't rewarding me. He was relieved.
03:24I picked the son no one wanted. When the meeting ended, I walked over to Kyle. He was still standing
03:31there with his head down. Like he still didn't believe I meant him.
03:43I took him back to Birch Cabin. My place on the far edge of the pack estate. A tiny wooden
03:49cabin.
03:49Two rooms. A fireplace that smoked every time the wind blew in. Not much. But it was mine.
03:57That night, I heated water and carried it into the washroom. Then Kyle pulled off his shirt.
04:02My hand froze. His back was ruined. Silver burns over whip marks. Whip marks. Old bruises.
04:11Bad scars. Bad scars. Some had healed all wrong. Who did this?
04:22I fell.
04:36Kyle, this is your home now. I'll take care of you. He didn't answer. But when I turned to leave,
04:45his fingers caught my sleeve. Tight.
04:49Kyle wasn't dark and difficult like people said. He was quiet. So quiet, sometimes I forgot he was
04:56even in the room. I didn't mind. In this life, I didn't want power. I didn't want the alpha's favor.
05:04I just wanted to stay out of trouble, raise this boy, and die peacefully. When I got old,
05:11if he came to see me once in a while, that would be enough. Every day, Kyle went to the
05:17training yard
05:18with the other boys. Combat in the morning. Lessons in the afternoon. One day, I baked a batch of
05:25cookies and took them over. I spotted him right away. He was sitting alone under a big oak tree,
05:32reading. Across the yard, Logan kicked a ball with the other boys around him. Like planets around the sun,
05:38Logan had grown up at Luna Victoria's side. Best clothes. Best food. Best of everything.
05:46Every child in the pack knew which side to stand on. Last time, I dragged him away from all of
05:51it.
05:52Made him follow a nobody omega mother. No wonder he hated me. I sat down beside Kyle and set the
05:59box
05:59on a stone bench. He looked up. A flicker of surprise crossed his face. Hungry? I opened the lid.
06:06They're fresh. Still warm. Kyle started to speak, but a sharp voice cut him off.
06:13Why are you here again? Logan walked over, looking at the cookies like they were trash.
06:18The pack kitchen feeds strays better than that. Stop coming here and embarrassing yourself.
06:23Before I could speak, Kyle stood up. He stepped between us.
06:28Logan! She's your mother! You can't talk to her like that!
06:32Logan let out a mean little laugh. My mother is Luna Victoria. This woman is nothing.
06:38He flicked a hand at the cookie box. Take your garbage and go. Stop bothering me.
06:45I pulled Kyle behind me. You've got that wrong. I'm Kyle's mother. These cookies are for Kyle.
06:52I bent down, picked one up, and held it out to Kyle. Here. Try one.
06:58Logan's face froze. He'd never imagined I'd choose Kyle over him.
07:03Kyle took a bite. A small smile touched his mouth.
07:07It's good, Mom. Thank you.
07:09I smiled back.
07:11Good. I'll make more tomorrow.
07:14Then I looked at the boys behind Logan.
07:16You boys want one?
07:17They were six. At that age, a cookie is a cookie. Two of them were already reaching out.
07:24Don't touch it.
07:25Logan slapped their hands away.
07:27It's garbage. The kitchen throws out better food than this. Only losers with no taste would eat that.
07:34Then he glared at me.
07:36Good. You picked him. Don't come crawling back when you regret it.
07:41I looked at Logan, red-faced and furious, trying to act like he didn't care.
07:45I almost laughed.
07:48I promise. Kyle is my only son. Everything I have goes to him.
07:54Logan went pale. He stomped off and yelled at the others.
07:58What are you staring at? Move!
08:00He ran off. The other boys scrambled after him.
08:04That night, I tucked Kyle into bed. I thought he was asleep. Then he spoke.
08:10Mom, tomorrow, after training, can you bring cookies again?
08:14Something in me melted.
08:17I will. The day after. Every day.
08:22Kyle smiled for real, then went to sleep.
08:26The next afternoon, I brought cookies to the yard again.
08:30But the place was too quiet.
08:32Then I saw it.
08:34Kyle stood by the lake.
08:36Four pack guards had him boxed in.
08:38Logan sat on a rock above them.
08:40Hey, little brother.
08:42He pointed at the cold gray water.
08:45My ball fell in.
08:47Go get it.
08:49The lake wasn't deep, but it was late fall.
08:53That water cut like ice.
08:55Kyle said nothing.
08:56He didn't move.
08:58Logan's smile vanished.
09:00Like a spoiled kid hearing no for the first time,
09:03he jumped off the rock and shoved Kyle hard.
09:05Kyle hit the water and went under.
09:08All four guards turned toward the trees at the exact same time.
09:12Like they'd seen nothing.
09:14I didn't think.
09:15I dropped the cookies and jumped in.
09:18The cold hit me like a wall.
09:20My muscles locked up.
09:21My legs went numb.
09:23But I found Kyle.
09:25I dragged us both back to shore.
09:27Mara came running with a blanket.
09:29I wrapped it tight around Kyle's shaking body.
09:32You pushed him.
09:34He's your brother.
09:35What the hell is wrong with you?
09:37Logan's whole face changed.
09:39His eyes went wide and wet.
09:41I didn't mean to.
09:43I just told him to get the ball.
09:45He slipped.
09:46And look, he's fine, isn't he?
09:48A perfect performance.
09:50But I knew that face.
09:52Last time Logan wanted something, he used that face.
09:56Every time he said something cruel.
09:59Then he'd come back with a soft little mom.
10:01That wounded puppy face.
10:03And I fell for it.
10:05Every time.
10:06The lake water still clung to my skin.
10:09But what chilled me most was watching a seven-year-old lie like a grown con man.
10:13That bitter wolf's bane taste rose in my throat again.
10:16He thought I was still that woman.
10:18Stupid.
10:19I steadied my breathing.
10:21Then I looked at Mara.
10:23Go get Alpha Dominic's.
10:24Right now.
10:25Tell him Logan shoved Kyle into the lake.
10:27I'm calling for a pack hearing.
10:28Mara just stared at me.
10:30Behind me, Logan's act fell apart.
10:33He had never thought I would do this.
10:35Not once.
10:37Logan's shock lasted all of two seconds.
10:39Then it turned into rage.
10:41He pointed at me.
10:43I'm your real son.
10:44And you're siding with that bastard over me?
10:47That word hit like a slap.
10:50In my arms, Kyle flinched.
10:52Your mother is Luna Victoria.
10:54Not me.
10:56I pulled Kyle closer.
10:58And the boy you just shoved into that lake is my son.
11:01You try to hurt him again, and I won't let it slide.
11:04Logan stared at me like I was the monster.
11:07Then his face darkened.
11:09Fine.
11:10Fine.
11:11Fine.
11:11Go tell him.
11:12I'll never forgive you.
11:14I will never call you mom.
11:16And you're going to regret this for the rest of your life.
11:19Last time, that would have broken me.
11:22I would have dropped to my knees.
11:24Begged him to calm down.
11:26What are you waiting for?
11:27Go.
11:29Mara took off for the main house.
11:31Logan watched her disappear.
11:33His fists clenched so tight.
11:35Then, behind me.
11:37Bitch.
11:38Same tone.
11:40Same poison.
11:41The same tone he used that night.
11:44When I was dying.
11:45Choking.
11:46My hands stopped on Kyle's wet hair for half a second.
11:50Then I kept drying it.
11:52Kyle looked up at me.
11:53I'm okay.
11:56The second that word left Logan's mouth, the last tie between us snapped.
12:01In this life, we were done.
12:03Alpha Dominic stormed in.
12:06His face was pure thunder.
12:08Luna Victoria was half a step behind him.
12:11Her hair was a mess.
12:12She'd clearly been dragged out of somewhere in a rush.
12:16Kyle and I knelt on the frozen ground.
12:18Soaked to the bone.
12:20A few feet away.
12:21Logan was on his knees.
12:23Shaking.
12:25Dominic took in the scene.
12:26The icy lake.
12:28My dripping clothes.
12:30Kyle's blue lips.
12:32What happened?
12:33For guards stood there.
12:35They stammered out the truth.
12:37Logan ordered Kyle into the water.
12:40Kyle refused.
12:41Logan shoved him in.
12:43Dominic's eyes flashed gold.
12:45The air in the yard got heavy.
12:47Every wolf felt the weight of his alpha aura.
12:50You attacked your brother.
12:52Seven years old.
12:53And already this vicious.
12:55Who taught you this?
12:57Logan crumbled.
12:59Tears.
13:00Wailing.
13:01The full act.
13:02Father, I'm sorry.
13:04I didn't mean to.
13:06Victoria stepped forward.
13:08She opened her mouth to beg for him.
13:11Victoria.
13:12Is this the son you raised?
13:14Attacking his own blood?
13:15Having guards cover for him?
13:17Is this your idea of discipline?
13:18Victoria went dead pale.
13:20She dropped to her knees.
13:22The verdict was fast.
13:23Logan got three months locked in his room.
13:27Copying pack laws a hundred times.
13:29And Victoria?
13:31Stripped of half her pack duties for six months.
13:34Confined to the estate for two weeks.
13:36Not the harshest punishment.
13:38But for Victoria.
13:40It was a public execution of her pride.
13:43She slowly got to her feet.
13:45As she turned to leave, her eyes locked on mine.
13:48That look said it all.
13:50This isn't over.
13:52Back at the birch cabin.
13:54I got Kyle out of his soap clothes.
13:56Got him into a hot bath.
13:58Mara brewed some herbal tea.
14:00I made him drink three cups.
14:02The pack healer came by.
14:04Said it was just a chill.
14:07Left some tinctures.
14:08By evening, the color was finally back in Kyle's face.
14:12I sat on the edge of the bed, drying his hair.
14:16Finally breathing again.
14:17His hand came up.
14:19He grabbed my sleeve.
14:21I stopped and looked down.
14:23Mom.
14:25You shouldn't have crossed her for me.
14:30Kyle.
14:32Someone tried to drown my son.
14:34Did you really think I'd just stand there and do nothing?
14:37He didn't answer.
14:39Just looked at me.
14:40He stayed quiet for a long time.
14:43Then, he spoke again.
14:45I'm going to make the Alpha notice you.
14:47I'm going to make him care about you.
14:51Kyle?
14:52Victoria's angry.
14:54The only way to stop her from coming after us
14:59is if the Alpha favors you.
15:02I'm going to make him choose you, Mom.
15:05It's the only way.
15:07The very next day, Kyle went to work.
15:10He came back with a folded piece of paper.
15:13A list.
15:14Written in neat, careful handwriting.
15:17He read it off to me.
15:19Rule one.
15:20The Alpha likes dark blue.
15:23Says it looks clean.
15:25So, wear dark blue.
15:26Rule two.
15:28Every day after sunset, he walks the Northwoods path.
15:31No guards.
15:32And rule three.
15:34No lavender perfume.
15:36He hates the smell.
15:38Don't use it.
15:41Where did you get all this?
15:43Kyle was already digging through my tiny closet.
15:46I asked around.
15:48Listened.
15:49He pulled out a dark blue dress I'd completely forgotten about.
15:52Shook it out.
15:53Checked it for moth holes.
15:55Gave a satisfied nod.
15:58Wear this tomorrow.
16:00Hair tied back.
16:02Simple.
16:03Nothing flashy.
16:04He doesn't like women who are too obvious about it.
16:07I watched this boy lay out my clothes on the bed.
16:10Like a general planning war.
16:12It broke my heart a little.
16:15Kyle.
16:16Who taught you all this?
16:18His hands stopped.
16:20That sharp, focused look on his face cracked for a second.
16:24Underneath, he just looked tired.
16:27He didn't look at me.
16:29My mom.
16:30Lyra.
16:32This is what she used to do.
16:34Whenever she wanted the Alpha to come see her.
16:37The room went dead silent.
16:39I opened my mouth.
16:41Then closed it.
16:42Finally, I just put a hand on his shoulder.
16:45Gave it a gentle squeeze.
16:47I won't let you down, Kyle.
16:50I promise.
16:52He gave me one long look.
16:54Nodded.
16:55And went back to folding the dress.
16:58The plan was simple.
17:00At sunset, go to the clearing by the north path.
17:03Sit in the gazebo.
17:05Play the guitar.
17:06And look natural.
17:07Kyle spent two days teaching me a simple melody.
17:10An old folk song.
17:12He made me practice until my fingertips were raw.
17:17When the Alpha comes, don't look up right away.
17:20Let him hear the music first.
17:22Make him come to you.
17:24And whatever you do, don't panic.
17:27Easier said than done.
17:29By the time I was actually sitting in that gazebo.
17:32Guitar on my lap.
17:34My palms were dripping with sweat.
17:36The sun dipped below the tree line.
17:39Shadows swallowed the clearing.
17:41Then, footsteps on the gravel path.
17:43My heart hammered against my ribs.
17:46I took a deep breath.
17:48And my mind went completely blank.
17:50Every note.
17:52Every chord.
17:53Gone.
17:54But I was already here.
17:56I couldn't just sit there like an idiot.
17:59So I did the only thing I could think of.
18:02I started playing.
18:04And it was terrible.
18:05A total disaster.
18:07I hit one string.
18:09The note came out sharp and awful.
18:11I tried again.
18:13Somehow, it sounded worse.
18:15Sweat soaked through my dress.
18:17My face was burning.
18:19Behind me, someone let out a laugh.
18:22Not loud.
18:23Not even mocking.
18:25More like, surprised.
18:27I froze.
18:28Slowly, I turned around.
18:31Alpha Dominic was standing three steps away.
18:34Arms crossed.
18:35One eyebrow raised.
18:37The corner of his mouth twitching.
18:39He took a step closer.
18:42Impressive.
18:43You somehow played every single note wrong.
18:46I wanted to die on the spot.
18:48Stand up.
18:49I stood, clutching the guitar to my chest like a shield.
18:54He sat down on the bench.
18:56Took the guitar right out of my stiff hands.
18:59Rested it on his knee.
19:00Then he grabbed my arm and pulled me down right next to him.
19:04Close.
19:05Shoulder to shoulder close.
19:07He took my hand and pressed my fingers against the strings.
19:11His large hand covering mine.
19:13He placed my fingers on the strings.
19:16Guiding the hand to strong.
19:18A clean, clear note ring out.
19:21See?
19:22Not that hard.
19:24Smelled like cedar and wood smoke.
19:26His voice was a low rumble right by my ear.
19:29My mind went blank.
19:31I couldn't even breathe right.
19:33He guided me through a few more notes.
19:36Still not great, but not a total catastrophe.
19:41I can't do this.
19:43I don't have the talent.
19:45I'll never get it right.
19:46He went quiet for a second.
19:48Then, he set the guitar aside.
19:50He swept me up into his arms.
19:53I let out a gasp and scrambled to grab his shirt.
19:56Well, if you can't learn the guitar, then I'll just have to teach you something else.
20:06He stayed at the Birch Cabin that night.
20:08Later, in the dark.
20:11He held me tight.
20:12His chin resting on my head.
20:15You're different.
20:17Different from everyone else.
20:19I lay there in his arms.
20:21My heart still racing.
20:22Different how?
20:24Because I'm useless?
20:25Because I can't even do one thing right?
20:28I thought of what Kyle said earlier.
20:30You have something nobody else has.
20:32The alpha will see it.
20:35Was it?
20:37What did I actually have?
20:38I had lived two lives.
20:41And I still didn't know why anyone would want me to stay.
20:44The next morning, the gifts arrived at the Birch Cabin.
20:47Fine fabrics.
20:49Silver earrings.
20:51A fur-lined cloak.
20:52Things I'd never owned in two lifetimes.
20:55The pack servant was suddenly all deference.
20:58Courtesy of Alpha Dominic.
21:00I stared at the pile on the table.
21:02Then, I scooped it all up and walked straight into Kyle's room.
21:06He was sitting at his desk.
21:08Back straight as a board.
21:11Kyle!
21:12Look!
21:16Like this color?
21:18I'll make you a coat.
21:19And look!
21:22We'll save this one.
21:23For when you find your mate.
21:25An engagement gift.
21:27Kyle put his pen down.
21:29He didn't look at the gifts.
21:31He just looked at me.
21:33Mom.
21:34The Alpha gave these to you.
21:36You need to wear them.
21:40You have to keep his attention.
21:42I laughed and pulled him into a tight hug.
21:47You sound like an old man.
21:49My clothes are fine.
21:50If I don't give the best things to you, who else would I give them to?
21:53He squirmed, but didn't pull away.
21:56His ears turning red.
21:58But-
21:58No buts.
21:59You are my only son.
22:02Everything I have is yours.
22:04End of story.
22:05End of story.
22:06End of story.
