Three Years of Madness After Her Fake Death - Full - New
Transcript
00:00Silas was crowned Alpha today. He announced Elena as his Luna. The whole pack was there.
00:05For three years, I swallowed Wolfsbane for him. I took a blade for him.
00:09The whip scars on my back went from my neck all the way to my waist.
00:13To them, I was just a lovesick fool willing to die for an Alpha.
00:17Now, he handed the Luna title to another woman. I just stood in the crowd and smiled at him.
00:24Congratulations, Alpha.
00:25I didn't cry. I didn't scream. Not a single tear. Because in five days, I'd be gone.
00:32Two days ago, I drank Deathbloom Draft. Once it hit, my heart would stop, my scent would fade, and the
00:38pack would burn my body.
00:40Silas would grieve for a week, and then forget me.
00:43Then, I would cross the southern border to Clearwater County and find Caleb.
00:47Three years ago, my father pinned me against a wall.
00:50He gave me a choice. Either enter a mating contract with Silas and help him take the throne, or he'd
00:55wipe Caleb's pack off the map tonight.
00:57I nodded.
00:59My only condition, once Silas was crowned, my father would give me the poison, and I would fake my death
01:04and leave.
01:05Elena and I share the same father.
01:07She's the Luna's daughter.
01:09I'm the bastard.
01:11I was a sickly kid, so my father dumped me with a foster pack down south.
01:15That's where I met Caleb, the Alpha's son.
01:18When I turned 18, he held my hand under an old oak tree.
01:23Harper, whenever you're ready, I'll claim you.
01:26You're mine.
01:27For good.
01:28Harper, that's my real name.
01:31No one in this pack knows it.
01:33The day before our mating ceremony, my father's thugs broke in and dragged me back north.
01:38No!
01:38Now, Silas was crowned.
01:40Five days left.
01:42The pack was dead quiet.
01:44Everyone was waiting for me to break.
01:46I didn't.
01:49Seven days later, Silas kicked my door open.
01:54He expected me to fall to my knees and beg him to change his mind.
01:58He came here to finish his act, hand me a gift, tell me his heart was Elena's, and look like
02:03a generous Alpha King in front of the pack.
02:06But I didn't give him the show.
02:08Elena will be a great Luna.
02:10You chose well.
02:11He narrowed his eyes.
02:12The breakdown he wanted didn't happen.
02:15Liam walked in holding a bundle of white fox fur.
02:18Silas had spent three days hunting in the northern snowfields just to get it.
02:22I looked at it.
02:24I didn't reach out but...
02:26You want me to sew a cloak for Elena?
02:28Her birthday's coming up.
02:30Silas's jaw locked.
02:32You didn't actually think this was for you.
02:35Please, Silas.
02:37You made it clear a long time ago she's the only one you want.
02:40You wouldn't waste a prize like this on me.
02:43I know my place.
02:44Liam suddenly spoke up.
02:47Actually, Brianna...
02:48Shut up, Liam!
02:49Liam shut his mouth.
02:51He looked at me for a second, then looked down.
02:53Silas turned and slammed the door.
02:58At dawn, I dropped the cloak off at the Luna's chambers.
03:02Neil.
03:03I knelt.
03:05She ran her fingers along the lining.
03:08A second later, she screamed and jerked her hand back.
03:11A drop of blood welled on her fingertip.
03:14Silver needles!
03:15She hid silver needles inside!
03:17She wants to kill me!
03:20I sewed that cloak myself.
03:22There were no needles.
03:24She pricked her own finger right in front of me.
03:27The guards hesitated.
03:29She hates me!
03:30She can't stand that Silas made me his Luna!
03:33That's why she's trying to kill me!
03:35I had always been at Silas's side.
03:37No one dared touch me.
03:39Elena saw them hesitate.
03:41Her voice went cold.
03:42Trying to kill your Luna is a death sentence.
03:45Pin her down.
03:4620 strips with the silver whip.
03:49You know exactly who the Alpha truly loves.
03:51Are you really going to defy me for her?
03:54They stepped forward and grabbed my arms.
03:58Sarah rushed in, screaming.
04:00Two wolves instantly slammed her against the wall.
04:06Brianna!
04:07They threw me face down on the stone floor.
04:10The first lash hit.
04:12Silver burned through my shirt, straight into flesh.
04:15I bit my lips so hard I tasted.
04:17Blood.
04:18Second lash.
04:20Third lash.
04:22Five days left.
04:24Wait for me, Caleb.
04:26Stop!
04:27A roar shook the house.
04:28It was Silas.
04:29He shoved the guards aside and dropped to his knees beside me.
04:33His hands were shaking.
04:36Brianna.
04:39Who touched her?
04:43Silas.
04:44It was her.
04:46She hid this in the cloak.
04:48If it hadn't bricked me first, it would have killed me.
04:51She hates me.
04:52She's always hated me.
04:59Alpha, no.
05:01We sewed that cloak together.
05:02There were no needles.
05:03He's lying.
05:04I'm lying.
05:06Please.
05:08Sarah, shut up.
05:09Silas looked at Elena's tear-stained face.
05:12Then he looked at my, bleeding back.
05:14He paused for one second.
05:16He took his hand off me.
05:18Take Sarah out back.
05:19Tear her apart.
05:23I had never begged him.
05:26This was the first time.
05:30Alpha.
05:31Alpha.
05:32Sarah was only trying to protect me.
05:35Please.
05:36He froze.
05:38Suddenly, Elena smashed the guard's silver dagger and pressed it to her own throat.
05:42Silas, I would rather die than live with this accusation.
05:46Silas ripped the dagger from her grip and pulled her into his arms.
05:49He closed his eyes, then opened them.
05:53I gave an order.
05:55Tear her apart.
05:57A scream forced the air outside.
05:59Blood rushed up my throat.
06:01Everything went black.
06:02I woke up in my own bed.
06:04Liam sat beside me with a bowl of medicine.
06:06He delivered the Alpha's orders.
06:08I was forbidden to leave my room.
06:10Forbidden to go near the Luna.
06:13Then, he paused.
06:15They dealt with Sarah.
06:17Pack rules.
06:20She's already in the ground.
06:23The Alpha told me to send her family some money.
06:26I stared at the ceiling.
06:28I said nothing.
06:30Liam put the bowl down.
06:31He stood by the bed for a long time.
06:34I gave him no reaction.
06:36Finally, he turned and left.
06:38For the next five days, take medicine.
06:41Change bandages.
06:43Eat.
06:44Sleep.
06:45The wound on my chest festered into a patch of black, rotting flesh.
06:49I just waited for the five days to pass.
06:52For Caleb.
06:53On the fifth day, Liam came.
06:55The Alpha wants to see you.
06:56On the way, he lowered his voice.
06:59Rumors are spreading outside the territory.
07:01They're saying the Luna is cruel.
07:02That she hurts innocent wolves for fun.
07:05The old packs want the Alpha to break the bond.
07:07She tried to hang herself this morning, but they got to her in time.
07:10The Alpha's furious.
07:12He wants the one behind it dead.
07:15I looked at him.
07:16He didn't look at me.
07:17In the great hall, the entire pack was on their knees.
07:20Elena was curled in Silas' lap, crying.
07:23Simus, I swear I don't know did this.
07:25Why would anyone hate me so much?
07:27I'll find them.
07:29I'll make them pay one by one.
07:31He looked up.
07:32His gaze met mine.
07:34His hands stopped moving.
07:35An enforcer walked up and handed him a ledger.
07:38The one spreading the rumors is Brianna.
07:41Silas hurled the ledger at my face.
07:43The spine hit my cheekbone.
07:45You threaten the Luna?
07:46He raised his hand to give the order.
07:48Then he stopped.
07:49Elena saw his hesitation.
07:51She didn't kneel.
07:52She just leaned against a pillar and slowly slid down.
07:55Her voice shook.
07:57Silas, don't kill her.
07:59She's pack.
08:01Just throw her in the pit for a few days.
08:02But if you let a traitor walk free, how will the pack ever respect me?
08:07Then she coughed violently.
08:09A drop of blood hit the floor.
08:11She had bitten her own tongue.
08:12Elena, get the healer!
08:14He looked at me one last time.
08:16Throw her in the pit.
08:17The iron door slammed shut.
08:19A wolf walked in, carrying a bucket of silver tools.
08:23Two days.
08:23I didn't let him hear me scream once.
08:25Just as I was about to break,
08:27a scent of cold pine cut through the mold.
08:29Strong arms gathered me close.
08:31His hands were shaking.
08:33When I opened my eyes,
08:35Silas was sitting by the bed,
08:37with a bowl of medicine.
08:38Drink.
08:39He held it out.
08:40I pushed his hand away,
08:41took the bowl myself,
08:43and drank it.
08:44He stared at me for a moment.
08:45Why are you treating me like a stranger?
08:47You have a Luna now.
08:49I shouldn't be a distraction anymore.
08:51His hands clenched into fists.
08:53I didn't spread those rumors.
08:55I know.
08:55My head snapped up to look at him.
08:57My enforcers aren't blind.
08:59I know exactly who was pulling the strings.
09:01If you knew,
09:02then why let them torture me with silver?
09:05Elena is my Luna.
09:06She felt insecure.
09:07She needed to be sure of my heart.
09:09She needed to see him choose her.
09:12It was just an act.
09:13I only played along to appease her.
09:15I swear I'll make this right.
09:17Next time,
09:20I'll choose you.
09:21Next time,
09:22it sounded like I was a toy.
09:24He could throw in the trash
09:25and pick back up when he felt guilty.
09:28There won't be a next time.
09:29The door opened.
09:30Liam came in.
09:32Alpha,
09:32the council is waiting.
09:33Silas squeezed my hand.
09:35It was freezing,
09:36but he thought I just had a fever.
09:38Then stood up and left.
09:40I reached under my pillow
09:41for the small pouch.
09:43The death bloom root.
09:44Today was the day.
09:45Suddenly,
09:46a thick gloved hand
09:47clamped over my mouth from behind.
09:49A heavy blow to the back of my head.
09:52Everything went black.
09:53Cold wind hit my face.
09:55I was at the top of an abandoned watchtower.
09:57My hands were tied behind my back.
09:59Elena was tied up next to me.
10:01Below us,
10:02torches lit up the night.
10:04Silas stood at the very front.
10:06At the other end of the tower,
10:07someone laughed.
10:09Long time no see,
10:10little brother.
10:11Derek,
10:12Silas' older brother,
10:13the former Alpha.
10:14Silas had dragged him off the throne
10:16and locked him in a silver cell,
10:18but he had made it out alive.
10:20Remember when you forced me
10:21to choose between my mate
10:23and my mother?
10:25He pointed at the two of us,
10:26laughing like a madman.
10:28Now it's your turn, Silas.
10:30They both fall,
10:32or you choose one.
10:34The ground below was dead silent.
10:36Elena started screaming.
10:37Silas!
10:38Save me!
10:39I don't want to die!
10:40Please!
10:41I said nothing.
10:43My heartbeat was steady.
10:44Silas looked at me.
10:45Next time,
10:46I'll choose you.
10:47He closed his eyes,
10:49then opened them.
10:50He didn't look at me again.
10:52He raised his hand
10:53and pointed at Elena.
10:54Save Elena!
10:55Derek ordered his men
10:57to take Elena down.
10:58She threw herself into Silas' arms.
11:00Derek turned to me.
11:02Goodbye, my little moon.
11:04Silver crossbow bolts
11:05shot out of the trees,
11:06punching straight through his chest.
11:08But with his dying breath,
11:10he lunged forward
11:10and pushed me off the tower.
11:12I fell.
11:13Crack.
11:13A sickening snap ripped
11:15through my spine.
11:16Silas dropped to his knees beside me
11:19and roared for the healers.
11:20A few feet away,
11:21Elena collapsed.
11:23Her blood reeked of wolfsbane.
11:25Silas,
11:26what did he force me to swallow?
11:29Am I dying?
11:30Silas froze.
11:31My wolf could heal broken bones.
11:33Elena had pure poison in her veins.
11:36He laid me back on the bloody rocks,
11:38scooped Elena up,
11:39and ran.
11:40He never looked back.
11:41The healer pressed along my ribs.
11:43Just superficial injuries.
11:45Then,
11:46my chest seized.
11:47I gagged.
11:48Black blood erupted from my mouth,
11:50soaking the white sheets.
11:51Then more.
11:52The healer pressed his fingers hard against my neck.
11:55Her pulse is crashing.
11:56It was steady ten seconds ago.
11:57Healer screamed.
11:58A needle plunged into my arm.
12:00Useless.
12:01The death bloom draft.
12:03Perfect timing.
12:04The healer's hand fell away.
12:05He dropped to his knees.
12:07Go tell the Alpha.
12:08Brianna is dead.
12:09I closed my eyes.
12:11A small smile touched my lips.
12:13Finally,
12:14free.
12:15I kicked the infirmary door open.
12:17It slammed against the wall.
12:18You're lying!
12:19She's fine!
12:20It was just a few stories down!
12:22She's a wolf!
12:23She can take it!
12:25But her skin was ashen.
12:26Her lips were blue.
12:27I pressed my fingers to her neck.
12:29Brianna,
12:30look at me.
12:33Alpha.
12:35She's been gone for ten minutes.
12:37Shut up!
12:38I smashed a glass bottle against the wall.
12:40The staff fled in terror.
12:41I sat on the edge of the bed
12:42and gathered her into my arms.
12:44She was heavy,
12:45like a corpse.
12:46Stop playing.
12:47This isn't funny.
12:50Brianna,
12:52I order you
12:53to open your eyes.
12:55She didn't move.
12:56Three days passed.
12:57Her body lay
12:58in the middle of my bed.
13:00Liam pushed the door open.
13:01Alpha,
13:02may I have your permission
13:02to prepare the funeral pyre?
13:04She's not dead.
13:05Get out.
13:06No one was allowed
13:07on this floor.
13:10I washed her freezing skin myself,
13:12changed her clothes,
13:13and waited for her
13:14to open her eyes.
13:15When my patience ran out,
13:16I summoned every dark witch
13:18from the neighboring territories.
13:20Heal Brianna,
13:21and you shall have
13:22the hunting grounds,
13:23gold,
13:23and unrivaled status.
13:25A blind old witch
13:26circled the bed
13:27three times.
13:28Her wolf spirit
13:30has dissipated.
13:31The bond between you
13:32is completely broken,
13:33and what you're holding
13:35is nothing but
13:35an empty shell.
13:38If you can't bring her back,
13:40I'll tear you
13:41and every liar
13:41in this room apart,
13:42and I will bury you all.
13:44The other witches
13:45backed against the walls.
13:47No one dared
13:47look me in the eye.
13:48It was useless.
13:50Elena shoved
13:51past the guards
13:52and burst into the room.
13:53She threw herself
13:54at my feet.
13:55Simus,
13:56you're the alpha.
13:57You can't keep doing this.
14:00She's dead.
14:01Bury her.
14:02Let her rest in peace.
14:03Look at what you're doing
14:04to yourself.
14:05It's breaking my heart.
14:06I slowly tore my eyes
14:07away from Brianna's face
14:09and looked down at Elena.
14:10Rest in peace?
14:12She was never quiet.
14:13Hunting rogues,
14:14patrolling borders,
14:16fighting my wars,
14:17taking wounds
14:17meant for me.
14:18She never stopped
14:19for a second.
14:20I looked back at the bed.
14:21I reached out
14:22and traced Brianna's
14:23freezing jawline.
14:24Now she's finally quiet.
14:26She doesn't have
14:27to fight anymore.
14:28She doesn't have
14:29to clean up
14:29my messes anymore.
14:31My voice broke
14:32and it terrifies me.
14:34The seventh day,
14:35dawn.
14:36A guard burst
14:37in my chambers
14:37and collapsed his knees.
14:40Alpha,
14:40she's gone.
14:42The Luna's body,
14:43it's missing.
14:44I shot upright,
14:45my vision flooding red.
14:46What the fuck
14:47did you just say?
14:48The ice cellar is empty.
14:50Elena went down
14:50at midnight,
14:51said she wanted
14:51to say goodbye alone.
14:53We stood the guards down.
14:54When the shift changed
14:55this morning,
14:56the room was empty.
14:57Elena,
14:58a guttural snarl
14:59tore from deep
15:00in my chest.
15:01I grabbed my hunting knife
15:02off the wall
15:02and stormed out.
15:04Pack members scattered
15:05the moment they saw me.
15:06My scent was pure murder.
15:07They hit the ground,
15:08heads down,
15:09not one of them
15:09daring to look up.
15:10I kicked Elena's door
15:11clean off its hinges.
15:13The comb slipped
15:13from her fingers
15:14and clattered to the floor.
15:15Simus,
15:16what are you doing?
15:17I crossed the room
15:18in two strides
15:19and pressed the blade
15:20to her throat.
15:20Where is my mate?
15:22What are you talking about?
15:23I went to pay
15:24my respects last night.
15:25I was only there
15:25ten minutes.
15:25I will ask you
15:26one more time.
15:28Where is she?
15:31I had to do it.
15:32I couldn't just watch you
15:34starve yourself to death
15:35over a corpse.
15:36She's dead,
15:37Silas.
15:39I returned her to the earth.
15:41I had the Omagas
15:42bury her in the Pack Cemetery.
15:44Who gave you
15:45the right to touch her?
15:46Who told you
15:47to put her in the ground?
15:51Dig her up.
15:53Now,
15:53go!
15:54Liam burst
15:55a minute later,
15:56caked in mud
15:57and dropped to his knees.
15:58Alpha,
15:59the coffin is empty.
16:01Nothing inside
16:02but stones.
16:02I turned slowly.
16:03My blood-red eyes
16:05locked onto Elena.
16:06Where did you dump her?
16:08She broke completely.
16:10I had the Omagas
16:11throw her into
16:12Rotwood Forest.
16:13She's dead!
16:14She's a corpse!
16:15What are you doing
16:16standing guard over her?
16:17I am your Luna!
16:20How dare you?
16:23You throwed her away
16:24like she was trash.
16:25The Rotwood Forest.
16:26The stench of decay
16:27hit us before we even
16:29reached the tree lane.
16:30My guards gagged.
16:30A few doubled over
16:32and vomited
16:33onto the dead leaves.
16:34I smelled nothing.
16:35I felt nothing.
16:36I threw myself
16:37into the pit of corpses.
16:39Brianna!
16:40I clawed through the filth
16:41with my bare hands.
16:42Rotting flesh
16:43stuck to my fingers.
16:44Jagged bones
16:45sliced my palms open
16:46but I didn't feel a thing.
16:48Alpha, stop!
16:49Let us search!
16:50You can't do this!
16:52I shove him off.
16:53Get away!
16:54We dug from dawn
16:55until the last light
16:56bled across the horizon
16:58and then I saw it.
16:59In a dark corner
16:59half buried beside
17:00a pile of fresh kills
17:02was a scrap
17:03of pale blue fabric.
17:05Her flannel shirt.
17:06The one I gave her
17:07last winter.
17:08The cloth was torn to shreds
17:09soaked with mud and blood
17:11but there were no bones.
17:12No body.
17:13I collapsed to my knees
17:14in that sea of death
17:15clutching the stained
17:16fabric to my chest.
17:18When I threw back
17:18my head and how
17:19Liam and the guards
17:20dropped to their knees
17:21as one.
17:22When I finally returned
17:24to the pack house
17:24I gave my final order.
17:26Strip Elena
17:27of the Luma title.
17:28Throw her in the silver cells
17:30and let her rot.
17:32Three years passed.
17:33The elders had backed me
17:34into the council hall again.
17:36Alpha,
17:37a pack cannot stand
17:38without its Luna.
17:40She is its heart.
17:41We need an heir.
17:42I stared at the
17:43polished surface
17:44of the table.
17:46My mate is dead.
17:47There will be
17:48no new Luna.
17:49Elder Thomas
17:49swallowed hard
17:50but pressed on.
17:51We all mourn her,
17:53Alpha.
17:53But she is gone.
17:55You are our leader.
17:56You have a duty
17:57to this pack.
17:58I snatched a list
18:00of potential
18:00from his hand
18:01and hurled it
18:02across the room.
18:03The next person
18:04who dares say
18:04the word Luna to me
18:05gets their throat
18:06ripped out.
18:07Personally!
18:08I stalked out of the hall
18:09and went to her room.
18:10I kept it exactly
18:11as she'd left it.
18:12The packmates
18:12cleaned it daily
18:13but nothing was ever moved.
18:14Her soft blue blanket
18:15was still draped
18:16over a cushion.
18:17Beside it lay
18:18a half-read novel.
18:19The corner of the page
18:20curled up from her habit
18:22of chewing on it
18:23when she was lost
18:23in thought.
18:24It was as if she
18:24just stepped out
18:25for a walk.
18:26As if she might return
18:27at any moment.
18:27A week later
18:28long after midnight
18:29Liam entered my office.
18:31He set a cup of hot broth
18:31on my desk
18:32and spoke quietly
18:33behind me.
18:34Alpha, it's late.
18:35You really should
18:36get some rest.
18:37Liam,
18:38do you think
18:39she hated me?
18:40She should have.
18:40Every single time
18:41I chose Elena over her.
18:43When she was poisoned
18:44I didn't believe her.
18:45When they threw her
18:45in the pit
18:46I stood by and watched.
18:47Her friend died
18:48because of me
18:48and I never even
18:49asked what happened.
18:50That last time
18:51on the tower.
18:51I wanted to choose her.
18:53I know I did.
18:54But the name I called out
18:55it was still Elena's.
18:56Alpha, I think
18:57she cared for you.
18:58It's just...
18:58I wish she had hated me.
19:01Hate is a feeling, Liam.
19:03At least then I would know
19:04she still felt
19:05something for me at all.
