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