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