Short filmTranscript
00:03the wolves pinned me to the ground claws tore my dress fists cracked against my ribs one after
00:08another this was the blood trial the harder they beat you the more worthy you are as a bride i
00:12didn't fight back i didn't make a sound because the man who was supposed to claim to me tonight
00:17had already carried my sister out the door the pack lands have a savage tradition known as the
00:21blood claiming it demands the alpha steal his mate under the full moon fighting through the
00:25pack's warriors to prove his power and write to her i waited three years for alpha silas finally he
00:31and his wolves slipped into my pack i was ready to run to him until i heard his hushed order
00:36grab
00:36brianna in the chaos she's fragile if she sold off to the alpha of the silver backpack to settle the
00:42debt she won't survive the night as for alara she'll fight like hell she'll keep herself safe
00:48his warriors hesitated silamus you and alara are already made it if she finds out she'll reign
00:55this pack to ash let her it's dark enough a case of mistaken identity during the claiming will be
01:02easy to explain i'll calm her down later he paused his voice turning icy besides the mating decree she
01:09signed was a forgery we never held the mating ceremony i promised brianna a safe life she's my
01:16priority i heard every word from behind the door i didn't howl i didn't shift i simply stepped back
01:22into the shadows they'd expected me to fight to claw apart anyone who tried to take me instead i
01:28silently climbed onto the back of the wolf who'd broken into my room and became his mate
01:35alara my contact at the council checked you you aren't actually silas's bonded mate i put down the
01:41phone something inside my chest shattered i'd lived as silas's mate for five years all that time the
01:47the crescent pack never accepted me his mother never used my name only ever referring to me as
01:51that girl at pack gatherings i was always seated at the farthest table in pack portraits i was placed
01:57at the edge so i could be easily cropped out silas said his mother wouldn't let up until i broke
02:02so he
02:02sent me back to the thorn hollow pack he promised he'd follow our traditions and complete the formal
02:07blood claiming to bring me back as his luna then the crescent pack would have no choice but to accept
02:12me
02:12i waited for three years i'd held my tongue longing for this night but he'd come for another woman he'd
02:18kept me deceived for years with a forged decree all to hide the truth the one he truly meant to
02:23claim
02:23was my half-sister brianna i stared at my reflection my face was empty wolf howl exploded across the
02:29grounds the ritual had begun growls mixed with laughter claws scraped against stone and warriors put on a show
02:37of resisting ritual torches painted half the sky red another group of wolves had come from the silver
02:42backpack they'd originally come for brianna by the rules of the ritual if a she-wolf didn't want to
02:47be taken she could hide and send them away empty-handed but brianna didn't hide she waited in her room
02:53to be
02:53taken and the wolf she waited for was my mate the room i was in wasn't mine it was brianna's
02:58that
02:59afternoon my stepmother pulled me aside for once her voice was gentle alora stay in brianna's room tonight
03:07yours is too far back too quiet they'll never find you the wolves coming for brianna are savages
03:12you've always been tough you can handle the blood trial brianna is fragile if she gets caught in the
03:19crossfire it'll be a disaster i said nothing i knew exactly what she meant by the rules of the blood
03:26claiming the alpha's wolves would storm in the she-wolf was expected to fight back with everything
03:31she had it was called the blood trial the harder she fought the more valuable she was considered
03:37the alpha had to prove he could pin her down and force her submission those claws drew real blood
03:43my stepmother studied my face testing me besides simus has never been here at night the front room
03:49he'll find you faster back then i'd only wanted to make things easier for silas i agreed i even sent
03:55him my room location through the mind link but they'd been planning this switch all along
04:02a roar of celebration erupted outside we got her the she-wolf is ours howls tore through the night sky
04:09one after another spreading across the territory like wildfire i listened but didn't move i knew
04:14exactly who they'd taken i could picture silas carrying brianna through the crowd his wolves flanking
04:19them as pack members lunged and blocked their path brianna would hide her face against his back
04:23pretending to struggle how perfect i lowered my gaze moments later my door was
04:29kicked in a group of wolves flooded into the dark room eyes glowing amber in the black then the
04:34blood trial began someone seized my arm claws biting into skin fists cracked against my spine
04:40claws raked across my shoulders and back the harder the beating the more the pack valued the bride i let
04:45them drag me from my chair toward the door their claws leaving red trails down my arms at first it
04:50felt
04:51like a formality but the violence quickly turned savage someone slammed me into the stone wall fangs
04:57snapping inches from my throat this was intentional the pain was excruciating but i didn't make a sound
05:04i finally understood what my stepmother had meant by calling me tough just when i thought it would
05:09never end a body slammed between us throwing the attackers off me enough it was a stranger's voice
05:16sharp with fury he stood over me claws out and shoved the others back with a snarl that's the rule
05:23the harder we hit the more she's worth what rule his voice dropped to a dangerous growl canines lengthening
05:30this isn't your mate if someone was tearing into your she wolf like prey would you just stand there
05:37and watch the room went silent he glanced back at me in the shadows i could only make out the
05:42sharp
05:42line of his jaw and the amber flash of his eyes then he bent down and hoisted me onto his
05:47back who is
05:48he's taking this ritual way too seriously he carried me out in long steady strides wolves chased after
05:54us snapping and lunging but his grip on my legs never wavered when he finally carried me out of
06:00the pack house he paused to catch his breath in the distance the faint glow of ritual torches moved
06:05that was the other group crossing the corridor i heard their laughter silas was at the front sweat
06:13soaked but wearing a triumphant smile brianna was on his back her arms wrapped tight around his neck
06:18his wolves were cheering i lay silent on the stranger's back as they drew near torchlight
06:26flickered across my face silas's eyes flicked over me for a split second then his gaze moved on
06:32turning back to his wolves as he joked and laughed he didn't recognize me brianna whispered something in
06:38his ear and he leaned in with a soft smile i suddenly thought back to three years ago when i'd
06:44returned
06:44to the thorn hollow pack to visit my father and stayed for a while the first time silas came to
06:49find me there he'd worn that exact same smile that day my father's warriors put him to the test
06:57my father sent a dozen warriors to block him at the gates claws out fangs bared they told him to
07:02turn
07:02back he fought through every single one of them and showed up at my door bruised bloodied barely
07:08standing i asked if it hurt he grinned through the blood for my mate i'd take a lot worse he
07:16was
07:16of the proud alpha heir yet he'd taken a beating from my father's warriors just for me he always acted
07:22like it was nothing but i knew the truth my father's wolves didn't go easy on outsiders
07:29another time it poured rain he showed up soaked to the bone his shirt torn but the pastries tucked
07:36inside his jacket were still dry he pushed the pastries into my hands smiling didn't want you to
07:43wait too long i held those pastries staring at the cut on his cheek and thought this is the wolf
07:48i'll
07:48spend my life with but now he carried brianna with that exact same smile my vision blurred for a second
07:55then sharpened again when did it all start to change
08:01probably three years ago when my father died i felt completely hollow inside silas cancelled
08:07everything to stay at the thorn hollow pack with me for two weeks the day he had to leave he
08:13took
08:13my hand and spoke softly alara you just got through the funeral and you look awful if my mother sees
08:19you
08:19like this she'll start on you again i don't want you putting up with that just stay here at the
08:23room
08:23and rest you've always wanted to take over the pack's affairs right i'll go wake and smooth thing
08:30for at home then come get you i looked at him and nodded i was truly exhausted from the constant
08:35fighting with his mother back then i believed he was looking out for me that he didn't want me to
08:40go
08:40back and face those cold stares only later did i realize distance doesn't create beauty it just makes
08:47it easier for him to love someone else last year when his mother turned 60 silas came to bring me
08:53back the moment i stepped inside i saw my stepsister brianna she was supposed to be in another pack for
09:00work but there she was in the main hall arranging things her movements smooth and familiar silas
09:07paused while taking off his coat and explained brianna's assignment is near our territory she's staying
09:12here temporarily there wasn't a trace of guilt in his voice and i didn't push for more
09:20my father didn't take a second mate until i was already grown brianna was stepmother's daughter
09:25we'd never been close over the years we'd only seen each other during gatherings i couldn't quite put
09:32into words how i felt about her staying there when brianna saw me walk in she called out warmly hey
09:37sis
09:38don't worry i'm just crashing here for a bit i'll move out once i find a place i nodded but
09:44said
09:44nothing back then i never could have imagined for three years i waited alone in the thorn hollow pack
09:50and all that time my little sister had been working in the crescent pack now watching brianna on silas's
09:56back it all suddenly clicked i hadn't been waiting for him to bring me home at all i'd been waiting
10:02for
10:02my heart to die brianna's voice drifted closer on the wind what about alara if she finds out she'll lose
10:09it she's all bark and no bite she'll get over it after throwing a fit it's pitch black during the
10:18blood claiming i just made a mistake she'll feel sorry for me before she even gets angry once she finds
10:25out i'll just smooth it over brianna laughed softly my knuckles whitened one of his wolves spoke up
10:33suddenly alpha what if someone else claimed alara the group fell quiet you think she'd let anyone
10:40take her without a fight then silas laughed with that temper of hers she'll tear the place apart
10:44tonight true no way a llama goes quietly feel sorry for that poor bastard wonder what he looks like now
10:53the laughter swelled i looked down let's go he must have heard everything heard them laughing about
11:02me heard how they thought i'd rip someone's throat out but he said nothing he just kept walking
11:10at the edge of the thorn hollow territory we ran straight into them someone from the other side
11:16called out kevin his steps halted a quiet yeah silas moved closer with brianna on his back grinning
11:24it really is you you claiming someone tonight too yeah who i buried my face in killian's shoulder
11:32showing only the back of my head a neighboring family silas stared at me a moment longer then laughed
11:39damn man always figured you'd stay unmade forever congratulations killian just grunted silas took a step
11:47forward i felt his gaze linger on my back that look lasted too long long enough i almost thought
11:52he'd recognized me let's go wait
11:59silas frowned he was about to speak brianna's voice cut in soft and pained simus my ankle hurts
12:05what's wrong did you twist it earlier i don't know it just aches her voice dropped let's go we need
12:11to get to your territory
12:12before sunrise silas didn't waste another second he nodded at killian gotta run i'll buy you a drink
12:18next time their footsteps faded into the distance killian spoke quietly he really didn't recognize you
12:24i rested my face against his shoulder and said nothing my eyes stung but i didn't cry he seemed
12:30to sense it his pace slowed steps gentle and steady the moon was bright the road stretched on i had
12:37no
12:37idea where he was taking me but in that moment i thought anywhere was better than going back
12:44music filled the crescent pack's great hall the whole place buzzed with celebration wine flowed freely and
12:50the wolves danced to old songs this was the feast after a successful blood claiming by tradition it would
12:56last until sunrise silas sat at the edge of the crowd phone in hand the screen lit up went dark
13:02then lit
13:03again no messages from alara that wasn't like her she never kept things bottled up if she'd found out
13:09he'd claimed the wrong she-wolf she would have called screaming by now he already had his excuses ready
13:15it was pitch black don't overthink it you're the only one i want
13:19he'd wait for her to blow up over the phone then talk her down gently she'd hurl some threat and
13:25he'd smooth it over
13:26done she never stayed mad at him for long but this time no call no text no yelling one of
13:34his wolves
13:34wandered over with a drink alpha still staring at your phone waiting on alora don't bother signal's dead out here
13:41her area gets fine signal then her phone's probably dead or she didn't see it another wolf chimed in
13:48she's probably off tearing someone apart right now everyone laughed silas stayed quiet alara had once
13:55told him i set a special ringtone for your messages don't want to miss them she'd sit out in the
14:00courtyard till midnight just waiting for him to call he didn't believe she didn't see it but he had no
14:08better explanation all right quit overthinking this is your big night your mates waiting for you what
14:14are you doing sitting here once you've claimed her you stay with her all night finish the ritual
14:18silas's frown deepened i told brianna this was temporary he said quietly i just got her out of
14:27there i i didn't plan on didn't plan on what the wolf cut him off frustrated alpha this is the
14:31blood
14:31claiming not a game you took her you finish it otherwise you insult her whole pack besides you
14:37and alora have been together for years she won't care about formalities just get through tonight
14:40silas opened his mouth to argue brianna appeared beside him what are you guys talking about
14:45silas froze about to explain brianna's voice softened simus in our tradition the blood claiming
14:52only happens once in a lifetime i know this one's fake but can we at least finish the ritual
15:00she looked up at him her eyes glistening i know you love alara but just for tonight can you pretend
15:07i'm your luna just tonight silas said nothing brianna bowed her head her lashes fluttering the
15:16crowd started chanting silas picked up his glass linking arms with brianna firelight danced across both
15:24their faces cheers and laughter erupted around them loud enough to rattle the walls he drank
15:30but his eyes kept straying to the dark road beyond the territory the same road he'd carried brianna
15:36down tonight at the gate he'd run into killian they'd met years ago at annual meetup they'd
15:42had a few drinks together acquaintances at best tonight killian had been carrying someone too said
15:48she was from another family she'd been thin lying quietly on killian's back only a glimpse of her neck
15:54was visible the line of that neck the curve of her bowed head it had felt strangely familiar but brianna
16:00had cried out in pain so he hadn't looked again now thinking back that silhouette silas brianna's voice
16:09pulled him back to the present is that okay he nodded distracted yeah then he stepped aside pulled
16:16out his phone and dialed elara's number he needed to explain he needed to make sure she didn't
16:22misunderstand finally someone picked up hello a middle-aged woman's voice
16:29silas blinked let me talk to elara elora the woman paused
16:36she's not here we're packing up her stuff to send over send over send where
16:43elora never lets her phone leave her her hand
16:46where are you sending her things the woman on the other end hesitated not expecting the question
16:52i'm elora's aunt we have to pack her things and send them to her mate's pack
16:57mate's pack he paused so elara was preparing to move back in with him that made sense he'd always
17:04planned to bring her back after the blood claiming stop leaving her at the thorn hollow pack alone
17:11auntie about the blood claiming tonight there was a bit of a mix-up
17:15elara say anything no several packs did blood claimings tonight what would elara despite the words
17:23a sense of unease surged in him just as he was about to ask more the aunt interrupted him hurriedly
17:29oh i can't talk anymore we're busy packing both elota and brianna were taken tonight we have to get
17:36their things ready silas froze what did she mean both were taken didn't he only take brianna as for
17:44elara she would never go with someone she didn't love he gripped the phone auntie you said elara was
17:50taken yes by the iron claw pack silas's throat tightened he couldn't speak he suddenly remembered
17:57something and his mind exploded iron claw killian the wolf he met at the gate the one carrying a
18:03girl saying she was his mate that silhouette that looked so familiar his voice was choked she didn't
18:09fight fight why would she a blood claiming isn't a bad thing she was as quiet as could be she
18:15just went
18:15with him we all thought it was strange with her temper shouldn't she have clawed the wolf to pieces
18:20but nothing happened she just let him carry her away silas's hand began to shake quiet as could be
18:28just let him carry her away no fight no snarl no resistance no that wasn't elara that wasn't the
18:35elara he knew he remembered talking to elara about blood claimings before she had been perched on the big
18:43tree swinging her legs speaking excitedly the she wolves in the thorn hollow pack if they're claimed by
18:49someone they don't want they don't just let them they claw bite and snarl they fight until the wolf
18:55gives up himself he had teased her then you're so wild who would dare claim you she had rolled her
19:02eyes
19:03her chin held high well it depends on who's coming if it's you she had stopped suddenly her face
19:10flushing as she turned away anyway if it's you i just put on a show of struggling a little for
19:15appearances he teased her just a little three times at most she glared at him then laughed her eyes
19:23bright like mountain stars if you came to claim me i'd probably be the first to jump on your back
19:28so you wouldn't have to take those hits he had thought then this girl is so foolish auntie his
19:37voice barely controlled elara when was she taken when the aunt thought for a moment tonight right after
19:45you left silas opened his mouth but not a single word came out hello hello simus are you still there
19:54i'm here why are you asking so much elora's mate will take care of her
19:59you claimed brianna tonight didn't you that poor girl's had it rough take good care of her
20:04silas said nothing all right i have to go we're still packing a lot of left in such a hurry
20:11she forgot
20:11so many things we have to get them to her bye now the line went dead he stood at the
20:18edge of the crowd
20:19white knuckling his phone around him were songs laughter music all the noise of celebration
20:27congratulations man someone shoved a drink into his hand tugging him toward the dance floor
20:34brianna waved at him from across the fire but he couldn't hear a thing while he'd been carrying
20:40brianna away alara had been lying on another wolf's back they had passed each other in the dark he
20:46thought she would fight snarl resist but she did nothing
