Burn It All For Her

Short filmTranscript
00:00My fated mate sold our daughter to a monster. I found her locked in a cell. 16 years old.
00:06Naked on a wooden plank, arms black with burnt scars, eyes fixed on the ceiling as if her mind
00:10had already fled her body. Her nipples were ripped off. The smell coming from between her legs told
00:16me enough without anyone saying a word. When I reached for her, she pressed herself into the
00:21wall. Don't touch me. My own daughter didn't know my face. Couldn't stand my touch. And every single
00:28person who let this happen, the alpha heir, the luna, and the high alpha himself, they all knew.
00:33They knew. And not one of them lifted a hand to stop it. They thought I was a weak mother.
00:38They forgot who I was. I'm the war alpha. At the gates of the royal stronghold, I finally came home.
00:46A decade ago, I left my six-year-old daughter behind and marched to war to preserve the peace
00:50of our pack. Now, after all that time, I was back. My eyes swept through the crowd, searching for her.
00:57In my memory, Aurora was still soft and warm, smelling like honeysuckle and warm milk.
01:02Every morning, her small, chubby fists would grab fistfuls of my hair. She should have been 16 now.
01:08My chest ached at the thought of holding her again. High alpha Aldrich stood on the platform
01:12with the pack council waiting for me. The Greyholt family stood behind him. My mate, Dominic. His
01:19mother, Helena. His sister, Margo. All of them were dressed like this was some grand celebration.
01:25I studied every face. My wolf paced hard inside me. Something was wrong. Aurora wasn't there.
01:31Everyone else had come. Everyone but my daughter. Aldrich started his welcome speech. I cut him off.
01:39Where's my daughter? His smile locked in place. Then I caught it, that flicker in his eyes.
01:44Then I caught it, that flicker in his eyes. My stomach dropped. I'd spent 10 years reading
01:49enemy faces on battlefields. I knew what guilt looked like. Watch your tongue, Raven A. You're
01:55in the presence of the high alpha now. Show some respect. Dominic snapped. Dominic. My fated mate.
02:02I kept our mate bond intact for Aurora, so she could grow up with her father. The year Aurora was
02:07born,
02:07he brought his chosen mate into my pack. His own cousin, Vivian, gave him a daughter too,
02:13Celeste. I swallowed all of it. For my daughter, I endured every humiliation, every betrayal. I gave
02:20that man my lands, my warriors, and even my pride. Everything. And people in this kingdom still thought
02:26one word from him would tame me. I asked you a question, Dominic. Where is my daughter? He opened
02:32his mouth, ready to put me in my place, and then a woman came crashing out of the crowd. There
02:37was dried
02:38blood all over her arms and streaked down her neck. Luna! Praise the moon, you're back! Please!
02:45They're killing her! You have to save Aurora!
02:50Nettie was Aurora's caretaker. I chose her myself, because the first time she held Aurora,
02:55my baby fell asleep in less than 5 minutes. She was the gentlest she-wolf I had ever met.
03:00Now the woman in front of me was skin and bones. Starved down to nothing, her face so badly beaten
03:05I
03:06almost didn't recognize her. My wolf slammed against my ribs. A growl ripped out of my throat.
03:11That mutt is a traitor! Execute her on the spot!
03:14Lucien Balcrest. I was the one who arranged his match with Aurora. That marriage was the reason his
03:20mother, Isolde, became the Luna, and the reason he became the Alpha Heir. Everything they had came
03:25from me and from my daughter. And now he was standing there, ordering my daughter's caretaker to die.
03:29The enforcers closed in on Nettie, baring their fangs. Touch her, and I'll rip your fucking arms from
03:36their sockets. She belongs to me. Two-thirds of this kingdom's army was the Ashburn War Pack.
03:41My war wolves. If I turned on the crown, this kingdom would not survive the night. Everybody knew it.
03:48The warriors froze. I said kill her! Try me. A pulse of power surged through the pack link.
03:54Two thousand wolves stepped forward as one. The warriors stumbled back.
04:01That's enough. The boy spoke out of turn. Hand the woman over to Ravenna. She is, after all, our war
04:10alpha.
04:11I knew exactly what he was doing, using his son to test me, to see whether I would still lower
04:16my head
04:16and fall in line. I didn't have time for his games. Nettie collapsed at my feet, so weak she could
04:22barely
04:23get the words out. Your daughter is dying. She's at Lord Fenwick's estate. If you don't go now,
04:30you won't see her again. Go! One thought kept pounding in my head. My baby is dying.
04:38Who the hell is Fenwick? He didn't exist when I left.
04:41Enough of this scene, Ravenna. You will return to the Manon with me. Now.
04:45The whole square went dead silent. Every wolf turned to look at me. Nettie grabbed my hand so hard
04:51her nails cut my skin. She was shaking all over. They remembered the woman who used to give in
04:56every time Dominic spoke. They were waiting to see if I'd do it again. Alpha, kill me if you want.
05:02I
05:02don't care. But go now. Please, if you wait much longer, you'll never see her alive again.
05:10The goddess is calling her home. Go! Before she's gone forever!
05:14I saw the fear in her eyes. She was afraid I would do what I had always done. Choose Dominic
05:20over my own
05:20flesh and blood. Ashworn Wallpack to the Fenwick Estate. Anyone who stands in our way, shred them to
05:26pieces. Dominic stepped in front of my horse. Ravenna, you can't- My boot smashed into his face.
05:34He hit the ground hard, blood pouring out of his nose. If anything happens to Aurora, every last one
05:41of you dies! Then I tore out of the square, with 2,000 wolves pouring behind me like a breaking
05:46wave.
05:47Nettie led me into the High District, to a walled estate tucked behind iron gates. A servant at the
05:52entrance saw her and gave a cold little laugh. Back again? The Greyholds don't give a damn about
05:58your little slut. They're the ones who sent her to Lord Fenwick's bed. He never got to finish.
06:03My fist shattered his jaw. My wolves flooded through the estate. Nettie led me around to the back
06:08courtyard. The place was falling apart, rotted boards, a door hanging crooked on its hinges.
06:13Before I even touched it, the smell hit me. Rot. Blood. Something foul enough to turn the air
06:19solid. I shoved the door open. A girl lay on a wooden plank, covered with nothing but a few
06:26filthy rags. Scars from glowing coals crawled across her chest. Both her nipples had been torn off.
06:32The flesh between her legs was black and rotting. Her eyes were open, fixed on the ceiling, empty.
06:37If her chest hadn't still been rising, I would have thought she was already dead.
06:45My whole body started shaking. My hands shook so hard my sword slipped free and clang to the floor.
06:51Nettie dropped beside the bed, crying so hard she could barely breathe.
06:54Baby, your mom is here. She came back. She's taking you away from this nightmare. Please,
06:59just look at her face. You said you missed her, remember? She's right here beside you.
07:04Open your eyes. Please, baby. Don't leave her like this.
07:08Aurora didn't move. She didn't even blink. She just stared at the ceiling like she couldn't hear
07:13a single word we said. My wolf was howling. The pain struck so hard that blood surged at my throat
07:18and poured from my lips. I couldn't stop it. Every wolf outside heard it. I lifted one hand.
07:26Every voice vanished. I dropped to my knees beside the bed and reached for her face.
07:30My fingers were shaking. I hadn't even touched her yet when she flinched and crushed herself
07:35against the wall. More blood filled my mouth. I forced myself to swallow it down.
07:42Then a voice cut across the courtyard. Old. Arrogant. Which of you mongrels dare trespass
07:49upon my lands? The second Aurora heard that voice, she started shaking even harder. Her body jerked.
07:55Then she started seizing, spasming all over. Don't touch me! Help! Mom! Mom! Help!
08:01The second she called for me, I answered. I reached for her, trying to pull her into my arms. But
08:07the
08:07moment I touched her, she shoved herself harder into the wall as though she meant to sink through the
08:11stone itself. Her empty eyes filled with tears. And she stared at the door, terrified.
08:18Nettie, wrap her in my furs. Keep her warm. Yeah. Then I picked up my sword and walked outside.
08:25Fenwick was out in the courtyard, screaming at my wolves. He had white hair, a swollen gut,
08:30and a cluster of young she-wolves gathered around him, dressed in little northern sheer rags. He was
08:34shouting, his hands roaming freely over their bodies. Those girls wore the same look Aurora had. Empty.
08:40Hallowed out. I looked at them and could almost see my daughter, Aurora in thin fabric. Aurora with his
08:46hands on her. Who the hell are you? How dare you bring warriors onto my state? Do you have any
08:53idea
08:53who I am? I am kin to the high alpha. Dominic Greyholt is my blood. You touch me and the
09:02entire council will
09:03have your head. The grandfather of the alpha heir's mate, Dominic Greyholt's father-in-law. They knew,
09:09every last one of them knew. He didn't get another word out. I shifted. My jaws tore straight through
09:15his throat. I ripped open his chest. His stomach. Everything that held that wretched body together.
09:21His guts spilled across the courtyard. I shredded him until there was nothing left you could even
09:25recognize as a man. Just blood, meat, and a severed head rolling to a stop by my feet. I shifted
09:31back and
09:32turned to the others. Gather what little you have. We're going to Greyholt Manor.
09:37I left with the girls. No one else did. I wrapped Aurora in my war cloak and carried her outside.
09:42She weighed almost nothing. Her heartbeat trembled against my chest, faint and faltering,
09:47as though it might give out at any moment. We rode hard for Greyholt Manor. My manor.
09:51The gates were shut. Two omegas stood outside. The first one raised his chin. Lady Elena and
09:58Councilman Greyholt ordered you to kneel at this gate until morning for disgracing the pack's honor.
10:02That girl isn't allowed inside. She belongs to her mate. You are not bringing her in here.
10:07My daughter's heartbeat was almost gone against my chest. And these two bastards were telling me to
10:12kneel. My war wolves lined up behind me. Two thousand of them. They had held Aurora when she was a
10:18baby. They had chased Aurora through the grass when she ran after butterflies. They were the men who
10:22let her tug on their capes and mess up their hair. The child who treated two thousand killers like her
10:27own family. And they had stood in that cell and seen what had been done to her. These wolves did
10:31not
10:31cry on the battlefield. Now every eye behind me was red. Alpha, just give us the word. Let us rip
10:39this
10:39place down. For our little Luna's justice. Surround the manor. Everyone inside dies.
10:48The servants went white and started screaming, pounding on the gates with both fists. The doors
10:53hadn't even opened yet before my wolves tore their heads off. I looked up at the crest. Greyholt Manor.
10:59Then I drove my boot into it and cracked it clean in two. I carried Aurora through the gate. The
11:04second I
11:04stepped inside, I froze. Wisteria. Everywhere. Thick purple clusters hung from every post,
11:11spilling over the old sparring ring. The pollen hung so thick in the air it stung my eyes. Aurora
11:15was badly allergic to pollen. One bad attack could close her throat until she couldn't breathe. She
11:21almost died from it the year she was born. After that, I gave one order, no flowers anywhere on this
11:27estate. Anyone who disobeyed would die. I pulled my cloak tighter around Aurora, covering her mouth and
11:32nose and moved fast under the trellis. If Aurora breathed this in, she could die. They know that.
11:37How the hell could they do this? Living in my house, eating my food, wearing my jewelry,
11:43and planting the very thing that could kill my daughter inside her own home. Cut it all down.
11:47Every lost piece. My wolves moved at once. Holt! Lay a finger on these blues and you'll answer to my
11:54brother! The scream came from across the courtyard. Margot Greyholt, Dominic's sister. She stormed
12:01toward us. Fury carved into every line of her face. Dominic built this garden for his true mate.
12:06This garden cost him a fortune in gold. Don't you dare ruin it! His chosen mate. To make that woman
12:12happy, Dominic filled my estate with the one thing that could kill my daughter. Margot saw Aurora in my
12:17arms and instantly pressed a handkerchief over her nose. The disgust in her face, like my daughter,
12:22was a rotting piece of trash. Mother and my brother were perfectly clear. That brat is banned from these
12:28grounds. She belongs to Fenwick now. Even if she dies over there, that has nothing to do with us.
12:35You need to get on your knees and apologize to the alpha here. She poisoned the here and
12:40Salelta, then ran off with her lover. His grace showed mercy by not punishing her. But if it were up
12:45to me, I would have beaten her to death and fed her body to the rogues! I slapped her. She
12:51crashed to
12:51the ground, blood and two teeth scattering across the stone. You hit me when Lucien finds out! I drove
12:59my foot into her chest. She flew backward and slammed into one of the trellis posts. Blood burst
13:04out of her mouth. And for the first time, fear crawled into her eyes. I planted my boot on her
13:09chest and looked down at her. This is Ashburn Manor. I was a damn fool for ever letting your
13:14family move in. Aurora's pollen allergy can kill her. Everyone in this house knows that. Your brother
13:19planted a whole garden for his chosen mate. My daughter could die and he didn't care. I left
13:24Aurora with all of you. Every one of you swore before the moon goddess that you would protect her.
13:29You broke that oath. Now I'm collecting. She clawed at my boot, nearly choking. Mercy,
13:36Robinane! She wheezed. Please. It wasn't my choice. You held me. You bathed me. Remember? I'm your girl.
13:44You're little Margo. You can't kill me. You loved me once. Please.
13:50Something twisted hard in my chest. On one thing, she wasn't lying. I did raise her. After Helena gave
13:56birth, she was too weak to care for the baby. I fed Margo, bathed her, held her when she cried.
14:02She was one year older than Aurora. The two of them had grown up side by side. Aurora used to
14:08follow
14:08her everywhere, always pressing her finest treasures into her hands, calling her Mar in that small,
14:13soft voice. And Margo stood there and watched them destroy her. I fed you from my own hand.
14:19I loved you as my own blood. And in return, you helped them slaughter my child. Then I put all
14:25my
14:26weight down one last time. Crack. Her begging stopped. One hand was still clutching my boot.
14:32Her eyes stayed open even after she stopped breathing. I looked at her for one second,
14:36that face I had watched grow up. Then I stepped away. A screen tore across the courtyard.
14:42Ah! Margo! My Margo!
14:47It was Helena, Dominic's mother. She was here too. Right then, Aurora moved in Nettie's arms.
14:53Her voice drifted across. Mom?
14:55I went straight to her. Nettie had my war cloak wrapped tight around her. Aurora's eyes were open,
15:01still empty. But this time, she was looking at me. I knelt beside her. I was so close,
15:08but I could barely smell anything on her. Just the faintest trace of honeysuckle. So faint I
15:13almost thought I imagined it. There was no time to think about that. Helena threw herself over Margo's
15:19body. Margo! My Margo!
15:22Her screams ripped through the yard. Then she lifted her head and looked at me.
15:26Ravena! You rat! You killed her! I will see you rot in the abyss! I will bury you and that
15:34little
15:34rock in the same filth as my daughter!
15:37Inside, Aurora heard Helena's voice. She pressed herself into Nettie's arms and began to murmur,
15:42lost in some waking nightmare. Grandmother, please. I didn't steal them. I just wanted my
15:48mother. The letters were for her. Only for her. My blood ran cold. Grandma! The pond is so cold,
15:55there's ice on it! I didn't push Miss Celeste in! She dragged me down with her! Please let me out!
16:02I
16:02can't take it anymore! My hands started shaking. Grandma, I didn't drug my sister and the Alpha here.
16:08I walked in on them together in Mother's chamber. Grandma, I don't have a lover. It's a set up.
16:14It's not like what they said. You can't make me hurt! The whip was soaked in salt water.
16:18I stood there listening as Aurora begged through one horror after another,
16:21and my legs almost gave out under me. What the hell had they done to her all these years?
16:27Ravena! Go to hell!
16:29Helena shrieked, rushing at me with a dagger. I twisted aside and kicked Helena to the ground.
16:34She clawed her way back up, spitting blood, glaring at me like I wronged her.
16:39You dare defy me? You dare strike your matriarch? I am your mate's mother, you ungrateful cur!
16:44You should die to pay for Margaret's life! I'm the only reason you were allowed to keep the
16:48Greyhilled name! Otherwise, Dominic would sever your mate bond today and throw you out of the pack!
16:54Aurora's voice carried from inside again, raw and terrified.
16:57Mom, save me. I'm so scared of Grandma. It hurts. I don't want to die. Mom, you can't die either.
17:06She was terrified. Terrified I would do what I had always done before,
17:10give in for Dominic's sake and accept Helena's terms. I pulled Aurora titer against me. She was so light.
17:1616 years old, and she weighed less than a 10-year-old child.
17:20Everything is fine, sweetie. I'm here. I got you.
17:23My voice softened. No one is ever hurting you again. You are not going to die. And neither am I.
17:30The people who hurt you. Your father, your grandmother, even the one sitting last one of them pay.
17:36Helena was still screaming. I handed Aurora back to Nettie. Then I walked toward her.
17:44I wrenched the dagger from her grip and drew it across her throat, deep enough to steal her voice,
17:48not deep enough to end her life. Helena's eyes flew wide. She clutched at her bleeding throat and made
17:54these wet. When I accepted Dominic, you were a withered she-wolf, too frail to even nurse your own
17:59pup. So I raised Margaret. I was the one who put meat in her mouth. I kept your bloodline alive.
18:05I raised both of you as my own. The year I went to war, you cried and swore you would
18:11protect Aurora.
18:12You swore it before the moon goddess. And how did you repay my mercy? You beat her with switches.
18:20You held her down in ice water. You whipped her with leather soaked in salt. You did that to a
18:25six
18:26year old child. The rage in Helena's eyes finally cracked. Fear rushed in. Killing you would be too
18:31easy. I loosened my grip on her clothes. She crumpled to the ground. I turned to my war wolves. From
18:38this
18:38moment on, Helena Greyhulf is cast out of the pack. Sever her pack link. Strike her name from the pack
18:45rolls. She is no longer under Greyhulf protection. From this second on, she is a rogue. I felt her
18:52presence in the pack link snap like a thread. The pain hit her a hundred times harder than anything I
18:57could have done by hand. Her mouth opened. No sound came out. Fear flooded her face. Real fear.
19:05Send word to every pack. No pack, large or small, is allowed to shelter Helena Greyhulf. If any pack
19:12dares grant her shadow or salt, they will face the full fury of two thousand ashburn blades.
19:18Helena lay there on the ground, blood and tears all over her face. She wasn't afraid of dying. She was
19:24afraid of what came after this. Becoming nothing. No pack. No one answered her call. Alive, but alone.
19:32Until the day she died. I never looked at her again. I sent wolves to the manor store house for
19:38herbs.
19:39Aurora needed treatment now. But when my warriors came back, they brought back nothing. The servants
19:44dropped to their knees. I looked around once, and before I could even speak, one of them blurted it
19:49out. Celeste is about to give birth. Dominic and Vivian took every bit of herbs from the manor and brought
19:55it
19:55to the alpha hare stronghold. Aurora clutched my hand.
19:59Mom, it hurts so much. This is your manor. Why won't you give me anything for the pain? The
20:05storehouse is full of salves and herbs. Mom, I'm so cold. I don't want the goddess to take me.
20:12If I'm gone, who will be left to love you? Those remedies were mine. I had spent my whole
20:18life collecting the best herbs and treatments I could find, better than what they kept in the high
20:21alpha's moon hall. And my daughter lay rotting without so much as a poultice, while Dominic and
20:26Vivian stripped my stores bare for Celeste. All warriors, to the alpha hare stronghold. Dominic,
20:35Vivian, Celeste. Every last one of you was going to die today. I tried to settle Aurora onto the
20:42blankets inside the carriage. The second I moved, she grabbed my hand again. Mom, don't leave me.
20:47Don't leave me. I'm so scared. Please. So I held her and hummed softly, the way I used to when
20:54she
20:55was small. Gradually, the shaking eased. She leaned into me. The carriage reached the alpha
21:00air stronghold. Alpha, there's an army outside the estate. The one leading them is General Garrick
21:06Whitmore. Garrick Whitmore, a legendary general, the kind people spoke about the same way they spoke
21:12about my father. He commanded one third of the kingdom's army. I carried Aurora out of the carriage.
21:17Garrick stood across from me, white-haired, back straight as a blade. Ashpen's child. This should be
21:23a good day. You came home victorious. Listen, go home. Had it been anyone else standing in my path,
21:30they would already be dead. But General Whitmore once saved my father's life. So I walked toward him
21:36with Aurora in my arms. His warriors tensed as one. My warwolves braced at my back. Then Aurora moved.
21:43She turned to look at Garrick and held out a hand to him, bearing her face and arms. She was
21:49deathly
21:50pale. Fresh wounds crossed over old ones. Silver burns had branded themselves into the skin alongside
21:55the lash marks. Grandpa Whitmore. Her voice was worn to nothing. Whitmore stared at her.
22:01I'm Aurora. Raven's daughter. The day mom left for war, you held me and watched her go.
22:10You told me my mom was a guardian. That because of her, everyone else got to live in peace.
22:18You said you would look after me for her. Aurora coughed. Blood ran from the corner of her mouth.
22:24Baby. Garrick's face changed.
22:26This is Aurora. How did this happen? The Greyholt family told me she was fine. They said she found
22:34someone she loved. The High Alpha and the Alpha here told me they had let the matter go. That she
22:38left on her own. How did she end up like this? They lied to me. And they lied to you.
22:45Grandpa Whitmore. I never had a lover. I caught them. Celeste and the Alpha hair,
22:51they're rotting like beasts in my mother's own bed. My father and the High Alpha, they tried to break me.
22:57They demanded I sign away my honor for their sins. But I am my mother's daughter. I would not bow.
23:03So they sold me to that monster, Fenwick. If I hadn't been waiting for mom to come back,
23:09I would have died at that estate already. Grandpa Whitmore, if you don't believe me,
23:15Celeste is giving birth today. She hasn't even been mated to the Alpha heel for six moon cycles.
23:21How could she be having a full grown pup? That hit me all at once. Aurora had been locked in
23:28Fenwick's
23:28cell. How did she know Celeste was giving birth today? How did she know when their mate bond was
23:33made? I didn't have time to think it through. Garrick had already sent people to check. They came back
23:38fast and leaned into whisper in his ear. His face darkened, then darker. Then his whole body started
23:45shaking. Those faithless crows! Why the hell would the High Alpha lie to me? They told me Lord Fenwick's
23:51land was restitution for the Alpha heir and Celeste because Aurora had destroyed their bond, so this is
23:55the truth! Fine. I'll deal with the High Alpha. I'm going to ask him to his face why he lied
24:00to us.
24:01I need to ask that bastard Dominic why he did this to my daughter for ten straight years.
24:05Garrick was silent for a few seconds. Then he ordered his warriors to clear the way.
24:10Spare the pup. If you can't give me an answer, then whatever you choose to do after that,
24:16I won't stop you. This kingdom was built by the Ashburn family. You're the one who's been holding
24:21it together. No man, not even the High Alpha shall treat an Ashburn like a dog.
24:26Then he turned and marched off with his warriors.
24:31I walked into the Alpha heir's stronghold and heard screaming coming from the birthing room.
24:35Two people were standing outside the door. Dominic and Vivian. They were both staring
24:40at the entrance. Neither of them saw me. I stepped up behind Dominic and pressed my dagger into his
24:46lower back. His body went rigid. But his voice stayed the same as ever, cold, arrogant, like he
24:52still thought he owned the air around him. Ravena, put the weapon down. This is the Alpha
24:56hair's stronghold, not some place for your insolence. Vivian turned around. The second she saw me,
25:03tears flooded down her face. Ravena, what's wrong? Is this because Dominic came with me
25:10to be here for Celeta's labor instead of waiting for you back at the manor? It's my fault. Don't
25:14blame him. Celeste is the Alpha hair's mate. She's carrying his first pup. I was scared something might
25:19go wrong, so I asked Dominic to come with me. If you need someone to blame, let it be me.
25:25Please
25:25don't let this hurt your bond. I hadn't even opened my mouth yet, and somehow she had already turned
25:30herself into the victim. I remembered the year she moved in. Back then, I still loved Dominic.
25:36She was always like this, crying without making a sound, letting Dominic think I was the one hurting
25:42her. We fought over her so many times, and every fight shaved away another piece of what I felt for
25:47him. If you have a grudge, take it out on me. Leave Vivian out of this. He still couldn't turn
25:52around.
25:52The dagger in his back made sure of that.
25:55Dominic, I only have one question. Why did you do this to Aurora? Why did you hand her over to
26:00Lord
26:00Fenwick? The Greyhelp pack never mistreated Aurora. Lord Fenwick was personally appointed by the High
26:07Alpha. Aurora wronged Celeste first. She cheated, dragged the Greyhull name through the dirt, and
26:12disgraced this family. She climbed into Lord Fenwick's bed all on her own. That was her choice.
26:18Vivian sniffled softly beside him.
26:21Celeste is about to give birth. You humiliated the Alpha hare at the city gates today. For Celeste,
26:26for her child, and to give the Alpha hare an explanation. I need you to sever our mate bond
26:32willingly. Vivian will become my only mate. Don't worry, I won't cast you out of the pack.
26:37You can stay. Vivian is not like you. She knows how to behave. She doesn't make everything difficult.
26:44Since you're already here, go tell the High Alpha you're agreeing to sever the bond voluntarily.
26:50Aurora moved in my arms. Vivian jumped. Ravena, are you out of your mind? You actually
26:57brought Aurora here? She drugged Celeste and the Alpha here. The Alpha healed hates her.
27:01Bringing her here is the same as sending her to die. I drove the dagger into Dominic's stomach.
27:07He stopped in the middle of the sentence. Then he looked down at the blade buried in him.
27:12Ravena, you're actually dead. Why?
27:16Vivian threw herself onto him, her face flushing red. Ravena, what are you doing?
27:21Do you think Celeste stole Aurora's place? Do you think we drove Aurora away? Even if we'd wanted to,
27:27we never would have dared touch her. Go ask anyone at the manor what kind of life Celeste and I
27:32had all
27:32these years under Aurora's rule. Dominic pulled her behind him, shielding her with his body,
27:38then looked at Aurora with open disgust. Tell your mother the truth. Your mother
27:43protects this kingdom. How could she give birth to something as vicious as you?
27:47And you're still lying right to our faces.
