Fated To My Ruthless Alpha New

00:00No. Further away.
00:03Yes, Alpha.
00:05Luca, put one white rose there. Just one.
00:08Yes, Alpha.
00:09He left. The office went quiet.
00:12Sunlight spilled through the floor-to-ceiling windows, landing on my left hand.
00:16My ring finger was bare.
00:18The only sound in the room was a scratch of ink across paper.
00:22Far outside, wind moved between the towers with a low moan.
00:25Maybe it was a wolf howl. Maybe it was the wind. Maybe it was nothing at all.
00:33I never looked up.
00:36Six months later, spring had reached the south. New bots covered the park outside.
00:41Alpha, we got word from the north.
00:44I didn't look up. I just kept signing the papers in front of me.
00:47What is it?
00:49Alpha Canaan is dead.
00:51My pain stopped for one second. A tiny dot of ink bled onto the page.
00:55Then, I kept writing.
00:56How did he die?
00:58Froze to death in an alley behind the market.
01:00He lost his ability to shift.
01:02His wolf was gone a month earlier.
01:04What else?
01:06Luca pulled a clear evidence bag from his coat.
01:09He sighted on my desk.
01:10He was holding a photo.
01:12The patrol team had to pry it out of his frozen...
01:14I looked down. It was an old photo.
01:17The corners were worn soft.
01:18In the picture, I was standing in Docmo Manor's garden.
01:22Sun on my face, smiling.
01:23I remembered that day, the first spring after our mating ceremony.
01:27You smell like home.
01:29I turned the photo over.
01:30There was writing on the back.
01:32Crooked.
01:33Shaky.
01:34Handle the funeral.
01:35Bury him in Ashton Cemetery.
01:37Near your son's grave.
01:38I never turned back.
01:40The blizzard was shut out.
01:42Luca glanced at me through the rearview mirror.
01:44He didn't say a word.
01:45I closed my eyes.
01:46In the dark, I let myself feel it.
01:49For three seconds.
01:50Only three.
01:50Then I opened my eyes.
01:52Let's go.
01:54The engine started.
01:55The car pulled away from the cemetery.
01:58Snow kept falling.
01:59Soon, it covered the blood.
02:02Everything he left behind.
02:03As if none of it had ever happened.
02:05I give you my throat.
02:07You can tear it out.
02:08I won't fight back.
02:09I don't need your life.
02:11Watching you suffer is enough.
02:13Please don't leave me again!
02:14Alessia!
02:15I love you!
02:16I always loved you!
02:18From the first time I caught your scent, my wolf chose you!
02:22It was always you!
02:23You loved a ghost.
02:25A version of me you thought you could own.
02:27No.
02:29No.
02:30But the real me?
02:32You never knew her.
02:34I had my own pack.
02:35My own power.
02:37My own fangs.
02:43Behind me, Calan let out one last howl.
02:46Not human.
02:46Weak.
02:47Broken.
02:48Then gone.
02:49Swallowed by the storm.
02:51Treated me like that?
02:52Let me die.
02:54Calan, stop lying to yourself.
02:56You never loved me.
02:58You loved a version of me you thought you could control.
03:00A woman you thought had no pack.
03:02No power in coming for her.
03:03Someone easy to discard.
03:04So why are you here?
03:07To watch me fall apart?
03:11No.
03:11You're not worth that.
03:13I came to see my son.
03:18Our baby.
03:19My son.
03:22You don't have the right.
03:25I think about him every day.
03:27What he would have looked like.
03:29What color his eyes would have been if he'd be scared the first time he shifted.
03:33But he died.
03:34Because of me.
03:35I know.
03:36I pay for it every day.
03:38My wolf mourned him every night until it couldn't mourn anymore.
03:41You think that's enough?
03:42Alexia.
03:43Please.
03:45Forgive me.
03:46I never got you, Calan.
03:47But I never forgave you either.
03:51Please.
03:52I can make it up to you.
03:54With what?
03:55Your life?
03:56He reached for his own throat.
03:58Under wolf law, that was total surrender.
04:00Lower than kneeling.
04:01Worse than death.
04:02He reached for me.
04:03You're alive?
04:04I step back.
04:07Don't touch me.
04:08But I saw your body.
04:10I smelled you.
04:12Your scent was gone.
04:13That body was fake.
04:14I'm Alessia Silverhone.
04:15My father is the Alpha of Silvermoon.
04:18I'm his only heir.
04:19It was you, the territories, the businesses, the ambushes on our patrols, all of it?
04:25Yes.
04:26Why didn't you tell me who you were?
04:28Because my father would have never approved, so I hid it.
04:31I married you behind his back.
04:32If I had known who you were, I never would have-
04:35Never would have what?
04:36North, Ashen Cemetery.
04:38Snow was coming down hard.
04:39The moon was gone, buried behind thick clouds.
04:42I stood in front of a new headstone.
04:45My son's white marble.
04:47Carved into it was a tiny wolf pup curled in the arms of the moon.
04:51I sat a white rose on the stone.
04:54Mom's here.
04:55Through the wind, I heard footsteps.
04:57Heavy, dragging, like an old wolf, about to fall.
05:01I turned around.
05:02A figure staggered through the blizzard.
05:05Callan, his hair was completely white.
05:07His cheeks were hollow.
05:08Those golden Alpha eyes that once shook the whole north were dim now, clouded, like dying embers.
05:14He barely even smelt like a wolf anymore, just a dying man in the snow.
05:18No.
05:19No, that's not possible.
05:21Another hallucination.
05:23The healer said it's all in my head.
05:26My wolf's gone mad.
05:27I said nothing.
05:28He dragged himself closer.
05:30Shock, wild joy, then fear.
05:32Alexia.
05:33Three years later, I took my father's seat.
05:36A billion dollar deal signed.
05:37Alessia Silvermane.
05:39Silver moon swept the east coast.
05:40All under my rule.
05:41Alpha, the report you asked for about the north.
05:45It's all in here.
05:46Luca handed me a folder.
05:47Callan of Dark Moon.
05:49Less than six months left.
05:50His wolf was close to going dark.
05:52I closed the folder.
05:54I closed the folder.
05:55Get the car ready.
05:57Now?
05:58The forecast says a blizzard is coming tonight.
06:02Now.
06:05South.
06:06Silver moon peck.
06:07My phone kept buzzing on the table.
06:09Just like always, I didn't answer.
06:11The call died on its own.
06:14Then Callan's broken voice filled the room.
06:16This was my fault.
06:17I killed you.
06:19By now, I felt nothing.
06:21At first, I listened to every message.
06:23His apologies.
06:24His pain.
06:25The way he tore himself apart.
06:27I listened with no expression at all.
06:29Then my dad walked in.
06:30He looked at the phone.
06:32Said nothing.
06:33He just handed me a file.
06:35Dark Moon is gone for good.
06:37And Callan's in bad shape.
06:39I took the file.
06:40Flipped through it.
06:42Faster than I expected.
06:44Alessia.
06:45Are you really gonna watch him die?
06:48I looked up.
06:49What else would I do?
06:50Dad, do you think I should forgive him?
06:53He deserves to die.
06:55I'm just scared you'll get trapped in this.
06:57I closed the file.
06:58Smiled a little.
07:00Don't worry.
07:01The moment my baby died, I was done.
07:05Now I'm just here to collect.
07:07You've changed.
07:09You used to laugh all the time.
07:11Now even your smile doesn't look real.
07:13People grow up.
07:15Some people need time.
07:17For them, one betrayal and one death are enough.
07:20My dad didn't say anything else.
07:22He just stood there with me a while.
07:23Then he left.
07:24Three months passed.
07:26I looked around my empty office.
07:28The portraits of past alphas were still on the walls.
07:31The moon goddess relics still sat on the desk.
07:33My great-grandfather's ritual blade, too.
07:36Everything else was gone.
07:37Sold.
07:38Most of the money went to debt.
07:39What was left, I gave to the pack members before they left.
07:42A final settlement.
07:43Enough for them to leave Dark Moon behind.
07:46One week later, I moved into a run-down apartment in the southern quarter.
07:50Not because I was broke.
07:52Because I didn't deserve anything better.
07:54I killed my mate.
07:56My wolf howled inside me.
07:57Day and night.
07:59Every night, I called Alessia's number.
08:01Every night, I left another voicemail.
08:04Alexia.
08:06I know you can't hear this, but I need to say it.
08:09This was my fault.
08:10I killed you.
08:12I killed our baby.
08:14I drove Regina out.
08:16Seraphina was punished, too.
08:18But none of that brings you back.
08:20Brings you back.
08:21I sold everything.
08:22The land.
08:23The businesses.
08:24All of it.
08:25But I kept one thing.
08:26Enough to buy a burial plot.
08:28Right beside yours.
08:29Maybe I can spend eternity trying to earn your forgiveness.
08:31Every afternoon, I went to the cemetery.
08:35I sat by her headstone for hours.
08:38I'm scared I'm going to forget your voice.
08:40Your smile.
08:42The way you smelled.
08:44Camellias.
08:45Cold night air.
08:47My wolf is dying, Alessia.
08:49It doesn't eat.
08:50It doesn't drink.
08:52It doesn't move.
08:53It just lies there.
08:55Waiting to be with you again.
08:57Truth is.
09:00So am I.
09:01Marcus found out, didn't he?
09:02That's why you sold out his location.
09:04You're the one who got him killed.
09:05Yes!
09:06Marcus found out about me and Roberto.
09:08He said he'd expose me.
09:09I couldn't let that happen.
09:14Now you know the truth.
09:16Now you know who you helped kill Alessia for.
09:19I know I was wrong.
09:21But I thought I was protecting the pack.
09:23I thought I was protecting Marcus' bloodline.
09:25For what?
09:26For an enemy's pup?
09:28You locked Alessia in that underground cell.
09:31You let her bleed out to protect our enemy's child.
09:34Lock her in that same stone cell.
09:35No food.
09:36No water.
09:37Let her feel what Alessia felt.
09:38Let her wait for death the way Alessia did.
09:42When it was over, I walked to the moon trine.
09:45I dropped to my knees beside the casket.
09:47I found the truth, Alessia.
09:49But it doesn't change what I did to you.
09:54I'm sorry.
09:55I'm so damn sorry.
09:59Now it all made sense.
10:00Regina betrayed Marcus, got pregnant by the enemy, then framed Alessia to cover it up.
10:05And I...
10:06I believed every lie she told me.
10:10Tony, get every elder to the council chamber.
10:12Now!
10:13One hour later, the chamber was full.
10:15Regina walked in, holding the pup.
10:18Smiling.
10:19She thought this was another celebration for her.
10:21Then she saw my face.
10:22The smile vanished.
10:23I turned on the screen.
10:25First image.
10:26Regina in a motel room.
10:28Kissing a man.
10:29Regina shot to her feet.
10:31Her face went white.
10:31Callan!
10:33They're fake!
10:34That baby is Marcus's and mine!
10:36Someone's framing me!
10:38Then I pulled up the second image.
10:40The bloodline report filled the screen.
10:42Match probability.
10:43That child is not of Dark Moon blood.
10:45His father is Roberto Santini.
10:48Second in command of the Santini pack.
10:50Our sworn enemy.
10:51You betrayed my dead brother.
10:53You slept with the enemy.
10:54Got pregnant with his bastard.
10:55Then tried to pass him off as Dark Moon's heir.
10:57Three days later,
10:58the two encrypted phones on my desk
11:00wouldn't stop ringing.
11:02Another territory lost.
11:03Alpha.
11:04We haven't tracked down the mastermind yet.
11:07But we found something else.
11:09Those birth herbs.
11:10It was Regina who stole them.
11:12He slid a photo across my desk.
11:14It was Regina.
11:16Clutching a small glass vial.
11:18My hands started to shake.
11:19And there's this.
11:20You need to brace yourself, Alpha.
11:22He handed me a sealed bloodline test report.
11:25I ripped it open.
11:26My eyes scanned the bottom line.
11:28The heir.
11:28He wasn't Marcus's.
11:30Then whose child is it?
11:31Roberto Santini.
11:33The beta of the Santini pack.
11:36Our deadliest rival.
11:38Heavy footsteps pounded down the hall.
11:40Tony burst into the room.
11:41Alpha, it's a disaster.
11:43Our border patrols were completely wiped up.
11:46The Silver Moon pack hit our eastern and southern territories.
11:49Every single guard is dead.
11:50I froze.
11:51Our iron and medical supply lines are cut.
11:53Three allied packs broke their treaties on the spot.
11:55Even the pack council froze our credit line.
11:57And worse.
11:59Silver Moon has moved against us.
12:01No pack will stand with us now.
12:03The bad news just kept coming.
12:05Generations built Dark Moon.
12:06Now it was falling apart.
12:08Who was doing this?
12:09How did they know exactly where to hit us?
12:11Tony.
12:12Find out who is pulling the strings.
12:15I want a name.
12:16Why didn't anyone tell me?
12:18Why didn't anyone tell me she was bleeding out?
12:23Alpha, I tried everything.
12:24But Miss Serafina said she was faking.
12:27She wouldn't let me treat her.
12:31Callan, I thought it was an act.
12:32She was just putting on a show again.
12:38You hit me?
12:41So you locked her in a holding cell?
12:43Like a rogue?
12:45Like she was nothing?
12:46I just told her to wait.
12:48She is your mate!
12:49Two lives, Serafina!
12:51I told you to watch over her and this is what you do?
12:55I did it for the pack!
12:57For the air!
12:59The air.
13:00Deep inside the moonshine,
13:02I carried her casket to myself.
13:04Placed it right before the moon goddess statue.
13:07I knelt by the wood,
13:08staring down at Alessia's face.
13:12Callan, you haven't eaten in a week.
13:15Alexia is gone.
13:16Why are you doing this to yourself?
13:17Do you know how terrified she must have been?
13:19Lying alone in that freezing cell,
13:21waiting to die.
13:22It was to make sure the air was born safely.
13:24You made the right choice as an alpha.
13:26So you think your pup's life was worth more than hers?
13:28Of course.
13:29This is Marcus's child,
13:30the only legitimate heir to Dark Moon.
13:32Callan, stop obsessing over a dead woman.
13:35I gave this pack its heir.
13:36I'm the one Dark Moon needs.
13:38Get out.
13:39Take your pup and get out of my sight.
13:43I slumped down against the casket
13:45and buried my face in my hands.
13:47Through the hidden camera feed,
13:49I watched his shoulders shake.
13:50What an absolute joke.
13:52He threw me away like garbage when I was alive.
13:55Now he wants to play the grieving mate.
14:01To Alpha Callan and Regina,
14:05we have an heir!
14:08I stood in the center of the great hall,
14:11holding a newborn pup in my arms.
14:13Just hours old,
14:14but already Dark Moon's greatest hope.
14:17Alpha,
14:18Oris needs to see you.
14:19It's about Alessia.
14:19It's an emergency.
14:20The sheer terror in his eyes
14:22sent a chill down my spine.
14:24A sick feeling twisted in my gut.
14:26I grabbed Serafina
14:27and dragged her with me.
14:28The path to the infirmary
14:30was dead quiet.
14:31A thick trail of blood
14:33led down to the holding cells.
14:34My heart skipped a beat.
14:36Why the underground cells?
14:39Alpha Callan,
14:41I am so sorry.
14:43Massive hemorrhage,
14:45hypobalemic shock.
14:46We lost them both.
14:47Drained of all blood,
14:49eyes shut,
14:50chest perfectly still.
14:51It was my Alessia,
14:52my mate.
14:55I don't know how much time passed,
14:56but finally,
14:58my eyes flattered open.
14:59I stared up at a strange ceiling.
15:01The sharp smell of bleach,
15:03filled air.
15:03Alessia!
15:09Where is my baby?
15:10The entire room went dead silent.
15:13A few seconds later,
15:14a man turned around,
15:16standing at the foot of my bed.
15:18It was my father.
15:20Deep lines of grief
15:21etched into his face.
15:23Dad.
15:27Alexia.
15:29He's gone, isn't he?
15:31The blood loss.
15:34The pup was deprived of oxygen for too long.
15:37Our healers tried everything.
15:44Where is Callan?
15:46He's with Regina.
15:48She had a boy.
15:50They've already forgotten you.
15:52What?
15:52The bitter,
15:53hollow laugh escaped my lips.
15:55The sound even scared me.
15:57Dad,
15:57I need a favor.
15:59I want a corpse that looks like me.
16:02I want Dark Moon to believe I died that night.
16:05We can do it.
16:06A substituted body.
16:08Scent masking.
16:09By the time they see her,
16:10even a mate won't smell past death.
16:12Wolf laid and your blood.
16:15One minute later,
16:16the trauma team rushed in.
16:18They loaded me onto a mobile gurney,
16:20pushed me into a concealed medical transport.
16:23Inside was a full surgical unit.
16:25Monitors,
16:26ventilators,
16:27high-end equipment.
16:28Blood pressure dropping.
16:30She's in hemorrhagic shock.
16:31Fetal distress.
16:33We need an emergency C-section right now.
16:35But her vitals are crashing.
16:37The surgery is too risky.
16:39Luka jumping into the transport.
16:41Do it.
16:41I take full responsibility.
16:43I grabbed his wrist
16:44with my last hands of strength.
16:46Save my baby.
16:47Please,
16:48save him first.
16:51Don't speak, miss.
16:52Save your strength.
16:53Your father is on his way.
16:55You just have to hold on.
16:56You and the pup are going to make it.
16:59Cardiac arrest.
17:00Paddles.
17:01Now.
17:02The fetal trace is crashing.
17:03We're losing the pup's heartbeat.
17:04No.
17:05Keep trying.
17:05Keep trying.
17:06It's too late.
17:07The pup.
17:08There's no heartbeat.
17:10The baby is gone.
17:11And then,
17:12everything went black.
17:13Darkness.
17:14The steel door was kicked right off its hinges.
17:16A squad of pack warriors stormed in,
17:19plod in peach black combat gear.
17:21Leading them was Luka.
17:22Massive.
17:23Deadly.
17:24My father's war commander from Silvermoon.
17:26The largest pack in the south.
17:27Goddess.
17:28I am so sorry we're late.
17:30Luka.
17:31Don't speak.
17:32Save your strength.
17:33He swam back to his men.
17:34Marco.
17:35Get the trauma team up here.
17:37Now.
17:38Giuseppe.
17:39Lock down every exit in this building.
17:41Leia tried to make a run for it.
17:42A guy slammed her heart against the floor.
17:44Let me go.
17:45This is dark moon territory.
17:47You can't just barge in here.
17:49Luka slowly rose to his full height.
17:50His pupils were wide,
17:52shifting into pure, predatory gold.
17:54He stared down at her.
17:56Dark moon territory?
17:58By tomorrow morning,
18:00there won't be a dark moon pack.
18:04I was fading fast.
18:06Serafina stood over me,
18:07still running her mouth.
18:08He marked you for the baby.
18:10Nothing more.
18:11That doesn't make you lunar.
18:12I didn't answer.
18:14I just dug my thumb into the spot he'd show me,
18:16pushing as hard as I could,
18:18praying for America.
18:19The drugs had completely worn off.
18:21The pup was coming.
18:22A scream ripped from my throat.
18:24Serafina stepped back in disgust.
18:27God, you're annoying!
18:29Leia!
18:30Get in here and deal with her!
18:34The pup is crowning!
18:36Then get it out!
18:38But...
18:38I'm not a healer!
18:41She's hemorrhaging!
18:42We have nothing!
18:44They're both going to die!
18:46Then that's her fate.
18:49I'm going to watch the true heir be born.
18:52Keep an eye on her.
18:54Don't let her bleed out too fast.
18:56That child still carries alpha blood.
18:59The door slammed shut,
19:00leaving me alone with a terrified girl.
19:02Another contraction tore through me,
19:04but I couldn't push.
19:05I had lost way too much blood.
19:07My body was shutting down.
19:09The baby was stuck.
19:10The clock kept ticking.
19:12Every single second was pure agony.
19:14And then,
19:15a deafening crash.
19:17But he masked it instantly.
19:19What's wrong with her?
19:20She's faking.
19:22She bled a little.
19:23Orist is just being dramatic.
19:25Callum?
19:26Is that Alexia?
19:28Is he blaming me again?
19:29Serafina, keep her locked down.
19:31I'm not leaving this floor.
19:34Hear that?
19:34You and your bastard pup mean nothing.
19:38Regina comes first.
19:40You thought marrying the alpha made you untouchable?
19:43Consider this a reality check.
19:45I closed my eyes.
19:46I tuned her out completely.
19:48My shaking fingers reached for my neck,
19:50for the crescent distress pendant at my throat.
19:53My dad gave it to me on my wedding day.
19:55Before I left my home pack,
19:57he had ruled there too long and too fiercely
20:00for anyone to refuse his call.
20:01If you are ever trapped,
20:03if you are ever dying,
20:05crush it.
20:06My phone found the hidden latch on the back.
20:08Serafina was still pacing,
20:10still running her mouth.
20:12Some nobody from a weak pack?
20:14You married into this pack for power.
20:16I almost laughed.
20:17Callum had assumed my home pack was weak,
20:19because I had never bothered to correct him.
20:22I squeezed the pendant.
20:23I pressed the latch with everything I had left.
20:25No sound,
20:26no flashing light,
20:27but I knew the signal went out.
20:29My dad promised help would come in 30 minutes.
20:32I clutched my belly.
20:3330 minutes.
20:34Could my baby survive 30 minutes?
20:37Orist sprinted to the pharmacy wing.
20:39Two minutes later,
20:40she ran back,
20:41empty-handed.
20:42They gutted the pharmacy.
20:44No supplies.
20:46No blood.
20:47The guards took everything to Regina's private birthing suite.
20:49Alpha's orders.
20:50This is murder!
20:51She's going to die!
20:52The pup is going to die!
20:54The pack comes first.
20:56If she dies, she dies.
20:57Orist collapsed in front of me,
20:59right in the puddle of my blood.
21:01Alexia,
21:02I'm so sorry.
21:03I have no tools,
21:04no supplies.
21:05I can't do anything.
21:07I am so sick of this.
21:09Guards!
21:10Get him out of here!
21:11Two massive enforcers grabbed Orist.
21:13Alexia!
21:14The pup is crowning!
21:15Remember where to press?
21:16Press it now!
21:17Bring on the contraction!
21:19They hauled him into the hall!
21:20Push on the next one!
21:22Don't give up!
21:23Save the pup!
21:23The door slammed shut.
21:26Serafina pulled out her phone.
21:28She started a video call.
21:29Callan?
21:30You need to see your maid's latest performance.
21:33She flipped the camera toward me.
21:34I saw Callan on the screen,
21:36standing outside Regina's breathing suite.
21:38When he saw the blood pooled around me,
21:39he froze.
21:40Real shock flashed in his eyes.
21:44I lost track of time in that cell.
21:46The blood kept pooling,
21:48soaking my gown.
21:49Just as my vision faded.
21:50Goddess!
21:51It was Orist,
21:52the PAG's chief healer.
21:54My only real friend here.
21:55He dropped to his knees in the blood.
21:58Alexia?
21:58Why are you down here?
22:00The alpha said you were in the private birthing suite.
22:02Serafina.
22:03Save your breath.
22:04He chucked me,
22:05his face draining of color.
22:06Your water broke.
22:07You're fully dilated.
22:08Your pup is coming right now.
22:10He tried to mind-link the others,
22:11but the wolf's being wasp
22:13blocked the signal.
22:14He scooped me into his arms.
22:16We burst out of the cell.
22:17Two guards stepped in our way.
22:18Stop!
22:19Miss Serafina said,
22:20said what?
22:21To let a pregnant woman bleed to death?
22:23Get out of my way!
22:24The guards flinched and stepped back.
22:26Oris cured me up the stone stairs,
22:28leaving a thick trail of blood.
22:30We hit the third floor,
22:31the main birthing chamber.
22:33The doors were wide open.
22:34It was completely empty.
22:36No birthing bed.
22:37No monitors.
22:38No supplies.
22:40Nothing.
22:41Just spare walls.
22:42This is impossible.
22:43Where is the equipment?
22:44Footsteps clicked on the hole.
22:46Serafina.
22:47Oh, the equipment?
22:48We moved everything to Regina's private birthing suite
22:51to protect Darkmoon's rightful ear,
22:54just as a precaution.
22:55Are you insane?
22:56The Luna's baby is crowning!
22:59She needs a bed right now!
23:00Drop the act, Alessia.
23:02Callan already told me the delay drug is harmless.
23:05You're just throwing a tantrum,
23:07trying to pull focus from the true pren.
23:09I stared at her perfectly powdered face.
23:12Six months ago,
23:13I spent three nights
23:14making her a moonstone pack necklace.
23:16She had hugged my arm,
23:18so while we were sisters for life.
23:20What an absolute joke.
23:22The drug lasts three more hours.
23:25Sit tight.
23:27Once Regina delivers,
23:29you can push all you want.
23:30She turned to the guards.
23:33Watch her.
23:34She screams,
23:35gag her.
23:36The steel door slammed shut.
23:37One flickering bob.
23:39Blood soaked my gown.
23:41Wolfsbane in the wars.
23:42No my link.
23:43No way out.
23:44Callan took my phone this morning.
23:46Said he wanted me to focus on the birth.
23:48It was a trap.
23:50Seven months ago,
23:51Marcus,
23:52the former alpha,
23:53died in an ambush.
23:55At his funeral,
23:57Regina threw up.
23:58She was pregnant.
23:59Her unborn pup
24:00became the pack's obsession.
24:01I told the elders
24:02not to worry.
24:04Callan and I
24:05would still give dark moon and air.
24:07They just stared at my belly.
24:08Silent.
24:10Now I understood.
24:11My pup never mattered from the start.
24:13The drugs were wearing off.
24:15The contractions hit harder.
24:17I crawled to the door,
24:18leaving a trail of blood.
24:20I pounded on the steel.
24:23Please!
24:24My pup is dying!
24:26A guard laughed.
24:28Save your breath.
24:30Regina's close to delivering.
24:32You'll get out when she's done.
24:34But my baby!
24:35You deserve it.
24:37After what you did to her.
24:39I collapsed.
24:40Then I heard Serafina in the hall.
24:43On the call.
24:43Callan?
24:44How is she doing?
24:45Regina's contraction started.
24:47She's fine.
24:48Is Alexia under control?
24:50Under control?
24:52She's screaming.
24:53What an actress.
24:55Don't tell me you feel bad.
24:57She stole birth herbs.
24:59Stole herbs?
25:00I never did that.
25:01I haven't forgotten.
25:02She nearly killed Marcus' pup
25:04on those stairs.
25:05I will never let her ruin
25:07that bloodline.
25:08The healer swore the injection
25:09was safe.
25:10Let her suffer.
25:12Maybe she'll learn.
25:13I'll send the healer down
25:15when Regina is stable.
25:16The call ended.
25:17My maid chose her.
25:20When I opened my eyes
25:22I was on stone.
25:23The holding cells
25:24beneath the pack
25:25infirmary
25:26Dark Moon's punishment cells.
25:28His sister
25:28Serafina
25:30stood at the door.
25:31A silver dagger
25:32in her hand.
25:33Don't blame Callan.
25:36Regina's pup
25:37is the only blood
25:37my dead brother
25:38left behind.
25:39He's the rightful heir
25:40to Dark Moon.
25:41I never wanted
25:42to fight her for it.
25:43Save the act.
25:44You pushed a pregnant widow
25:45down the stairs.
25:46You tried to kill her
25:47so your bastard
25:48could claim the alpha title.
25:49I didn't!
25:50Another conjection
25:51ripped through me.
25:52I stopped breathing.
25:54Serafina squatted down.
25:55Tapped my cheek
25:56with her blade.
25:57Pack law is clear.
25:58The first recognized heir
26:00inherits the alpha title.
26:01When an alpha dies
26:02without a born heir
26:03his unborn bloodline
26:04comes first.
26:05Marcus is dead
26:06but his pup lives
26:07and Callan is only a regent.
26:09So you and your bastard pup
26:10you were finished
26:11the second Regina conceived.
26:13I clutched my belly.
26:14My vision blurred.
26:16Please
26:16get the healer.
26:18My pup is coming.
26:20I lay on the busting bed.
26:21Pain tore through me
26:22in waves.
26:23My vision went black
26:24but my mate
26:25was right there.
26:27Callan
26:27alpha
26:28of the Dark Moon pack.
26:29He gripped my hand.
26:31Just hold on.
26:32We're going to see our baby.
26:33Sweat soaked my skin.
26:35I forced a smile.
26:36The painkiller walked in
26:38holding a syringe.
26:39I thought it was a painkiller
26:40but
26:41Callan let go.
26:42He stepped back.
26:43The needle
26:44pierced my skin.
26:45Cold liquid
26:46hit my veins.
26:47Check the doos.
26:49Hold it off until tomorrow.
26:50I promised Regina
26:52her child comes first.
26:54I stared at him.
26:55He didn't look at me.
26:56He just watched the clock.
26:58Tears fell.
26:59I tried to scream.
27:00I tried to fight.
27:02But the drugs hit.
27:03My contraction stopped cold.
27:05Then everything stopped.
27:06I tried to scream.
27:06I tried to cry.
27:07I tried to cry.
27:07I tried to make things
