Short filmTranscript
00:02my son wanted me dead he poured wolfsbane into my wine then he stood there and watched me choke
00:09to death everyone in the pack said i was the saddest woman alive i was alpha dominic's lowest
00:16ranking omega mate and the least wanted the day i gave birth luna victoria took my son from me
00:22before i'd even held him properly i didn't fight her victoria was the luna powerful respected my
00:32son would have a better life with her than he ever would with me years later a pack of rogues
00:38attacked our territory i threw myself in front of dominic the slash meant for his throat tore across
00:44my back instead he said i had earned a reward i could choose one of his sons raise him myself
00:51i chose logan my blood my child i raised him for 20 years and on the night he was named
01:00alpha air
01:00he walked into my room carrying a glass of wine laced with wolfsbane i couldn't move the poison
01:07paralyzed me my wolf hauled inside me fought like hell but it couldn't save me logan stood over me
01:15and watched foam spill from my mouth his eyes were cold if you'd left me with luna victoria
01:21i'd already be air all you ever did was drag me down the last thing i saw was his face
01:27no guilt
01:28no hesitation just disgust then everything went black
01:35when i opened my eyes again i was standing in the great hall same stone walls same firelight
01:42same five boys lined up in front of the alpha's chair alpha dominic sat above them
01:48selene you saved my life you may choose one of my sons to raise
01:53my heart slammed i looked at the line logan stood first dressed in the fine clothes victoria had picked
02:02for him that look in his eyes impatience barely hidden last time i was so happy i missed the look
02:10in his eyes now it was impossible to miss my stomach turned i swallowed the nausea and forced myself to
02:18look
02:18past him past the second son past the third at the end of the line below the steps stood a
02:26boy no one
02:27looked at finn head down kyle the fourth son his mother lyra had been executed for breaking pack law
02:36after that no one wanted him the servant said he was cursed he was treated worse than the lowest omega
02:43in
02:44the manor thrown away hated just for being there i knew that feeling too well i took a breath
02:52raised my hand pointed straight at him i want him the hall went dead silent every head turned toward me
03:00like i've lost my mind alpha dominic stared at me for a long moment then he let out a short
03:06breath
03:07almost a laugh kyle fine he's quiet you're steady that should work take good care of him right there
03:18in the hall he raised me to a beta ranking mate small promotion still more than i'd gotten in six
03:25years but i knew the truth he wasn't rewarding me he was relieved i picked the son no one wanted
03:33when the meeting ended i walked over to kyle he was still standing there with his head down
03:39like he still didn't believe i meant him
03:49i took him back to birch cabin my place on the far edge of the pack estate a tiny wooden
03:55cabin
03:56two rooms a fireplace that smoked every time the wind blew in not much but it was mine that night
04:04i heated water and carried it into the washroom then kyle pulled off his shirt my hand froze
04:10his back was ruined silver burns over whip marks whip marks old bruises bad scars some had healed all wrong
04:23who did this
04:29i fell
04:43kyle
04:44this is your home now
04:47i'll take care of you
04:48he didn't answer but when i turned to leave his fingers caught my sleeve tight
04:56kyle wasn't dark and difficult like people said he was quiet so quiet sometimes i forgot he was even in
05:04the room
05:05i didn't mind in this life i didn't want power i didn't want the alpha's favor i just wanted to
05:13stay out of trouble
05:14raise this boy and die peacefully when i got old if he came to see me once in a while
05:21that would be enough
05:22every day kyle went to the training yard with the other boys
05:26combat in the morning
05:28lessons in the afternoon
05:30one day
05:31i baked a batch of cookies and took them over
05:34i spotted him right away
05:36he was sitting alone under a big oak tree reading
05:40across the yard
05:41logan kicked a ball with the other boys around him
05:44like planets around the sun
05:46logan had grown up at luna victoria's side
05:49best clothes
05:50best food
05:52best of everything
05:53every child in the pack knew which side to stand on
05:57last time
05:58i dragged him away from all of it
06:00made him follow a nobody omega mother
06:03no wonder he hated me
06:05i sat down beside kyle and set the box on the stone bench
06:08he looked up
06:10a flicker of surprise crossed his face
06:12hungry
06:13i opened the lid
06:15they're fresh
06:16still warm
06:17kyle started to speak
06:19but a sharp voice cut him off
06:21why are you here again
06:23logan walked over
06:24looking at the cookies like they were trash
06:26the pack kitchen feeds strays better than that
06:29stop coming here and embarrassing yourself
06:32before i could speak
06:33kyle stood up
06:35he stepped between us
06:37logan
06:37she's your mother
06:39you can't talk to her like that
06:41logan let out a mean little laugh
06:43my mother is luna victoria
06:45this woman is nothing
06:47he flicked a hand at the cookie box
06:49take your garbage and go
06:51stop bothering me
06:54i pulled kyle behind me
06:56you've got that wrong
06:57i'm kyle's mother
06:59these cookies are for kyle
07:02i bent down
07:03picked one up
07:04and held it out to kyle
07:05here

07:07logan's face froze
07:09he'd never imagined i'd choose kyle over him
07:12kyle took a bite
07:14a small smile touched his mouth
07:16it's good mom
07:18thank you
07:18i smiled back
07:20good
07:21i'll make more tomorrow
07:22then i looked at the boys behind logan
07:26you boys want one
07:27they were six
07:28at that age
07:29a cookie is a cookie
07:31two of them were already reaching out
07:33don't touch it
07:34logan slapped their hands away
07:37it's garbage
07:38the kitchen throws out better food than this
07:40only losers with no taste would eat that
07:43then he glared at me
07:45good
07:46you picked him
07:48don't come crawling back when you regret it
07:50i looked at logan
07:52red-faced and furious
07:53trying to act like he didn't care
07:55i almost laughed
07:57i promise
07:58kyle is my only son
08:01everything i have goes to him
08:04logan went pale
08:05he stomped off and yelled at the others
08:08what are you staring at
08:09move
08:10he ran off
08:11the other boys scrambled after him
08:14that night i tucked kyle into bed
08:17i thought he was asleep
08:19then he spoke
08:20mom tomorrow after training
08:23can you bring cookies again
08:25something in me melted
08:27i will
08:28the day after
08:30every day
08:31kyle smiled for real
08:34then went to sleep
08:37the next afternoon
08:38i brought cookies to the yard again
08:41but the place was too quiet
08:43then i saw it
08:44kyle stood by the lake
08:46four packed guards had him boxed in
08:49logan sat on a rock above them
08:51hey little brother
08:53he pointed at the cold gray water
08:55my ball fell in
08:58go get it
09:00the lake wasn't deep
09:02but it was late fall
09:03that water cut like ice
09:05kyle said nothing
09:07he didn't move
09:09logan's smile vanished
09:11like a spoiled kid hearing no for the first time
09:14he jumped off the rock and shoved kyle hard
09:17kyle hit the water and went under
09:19all four guards turned toward the trees at the exact same time
09:23like they'd seen nothing
09:25i didn't think
09:26i dropped the cookies and jumped in
09:29the cold hit me like a wall
09:31my muscles locked up
09:33my legs went numb
09:34but i found kyle
09:36i dragged us both back to shore
09:38mara came running with a blanket
09:41i wrapped it tight around kyle's shaking body
09:44you pushed him
09:45he's your brother
09:47what the hell is wrong with you
09:49logan's whole face changed
09:51his eyes went wide and wet
09:53i didn't mean to
09:55i just told him to get the ball
09:56he slipped
09:58and look he's fine isn't he
10:00a perfect performance
10:02but i knew that face
10:04last time logan wanted something
10:06he used that face
10:08every time he said something cruel
10:10then he'd come back with a soft little mom
10:13that wounded puppy face
10:15and i fell for it
10:17every time
10:18the lake water still clung to my skin
10:21but what chilled me most was watching a seven-year-old lie like a grown con man
10:25that bitter wolf's pain taste rose in my throat again
10:28he thought i was still that woman
10:30stupid
10:31i steadied my breathing
10:33then i looked at mara
10:35go get alpha dominics
10:36right now
10:37tell him logan shoved kyle into the lake
10:39i'm calling for a pack hearing
10:40mara just stared at me
10:43behind me
10:44logan's act fell apart
10:45he had never thought i would do this
10:48not once
10:49logan's shock lasted all of two seconds
10:52then it turned into rage
10:54he pointed at me
10:55i'm your real son
10:57and you're siding with that bastard over me
11:00that word hit like a slap
11:02in my arms
11:04kyle flinched
11:05your mother is luna victoria
11:07not me
11:08i pulled kyle closer
11:10and the boy you just shoved into that lake is my son
11:14you try to hurt him again
11:15and i won't let it slide
11:17logan stared at me like i was the monster
11:20then his face darkened
11:22fine
11:23fine
11:23fine
11:24go tell him
11:25i'll never forgive you
11:27i will never call you mom
11:29and you're gonna regret this for the rest of your life
11:32last time
11:33that would have broken me
11:35i would have dropped to my knees
11:37begged him to calm down
11:39what are you waiting for
11:40go
11:42mara took off for the main house
11:44logan watched her disappear
11:46his fists clenched so tight
11:48then behind me
11:50bitch
11:52same tone
11:53same poison
11:54the same tone he used that night
11:57when i was dying
11:59choking
12:00my hands stopped on kyle's wet hair for half a second
12:03then i kept drying it
12:05kyle looked up at me
12:07i'm okay
12:10the second that word left logan's mouth
12:13the last tie between us snapped
12:15in this life
12:16we were done
12:17alpha dominic stormed in
12:19his face was pure thunder
12:21luna victoria was half a step behind him
12:24her hair was a mess
12:26she'd clearly been dragged out of somewhere in a rush
12:29kyle and i knelt on the frozen ground
12:32soaked to the bone
12:34a few feet away
12:35logan was on his knees
12:37shaking
12:38dominic took in the scene
12:40the icy lake
12:42my dripping clothes
12:44kyle's blue lips
12:46what happened
12:47what happened
12:48for guards stood there
12:50they stammered out the truth
12:51logan ordered kyle into the water
12:54kyle refused
12:55logan shoved him in
12:57dominic's eyes flashed gold
12:59the air in the yard got heavy
13:01every wolf felt the weight of his alpha aura
13:04you attacked your brother
13:06seven years old
13:08and already this vicious
13:09who taught you this
13:12logan crumbled
13:13tears
13:14wailing
13:15the full act
13:17father i'm sorry
13:18i didn't mean to
13:20victoria stepped forward
13:22she opened her mouth to beg for him
13:25victoria
13:26is this the son you raised
13:28attacking his own blood
13:30having guards cover for him
13:32is this your idea of discipline
13:33victoria went dead pale
13:35she dropped to her knees
13:37the verdict was fast
13:39logan got three months locked in his room
13:41copying pack laws a hundred times
13:44and victoria
13:45stripped of half her pack duties for six months
13:49confined to the estate for two weeks
13:51not the harshest punishment
13:53but for victoria
13:55it was a public execution of her pride
13:58she slowly got to her feet
14:00as she turned to leave
14:02her eyes locked on mine
14:04that look said it all
14:05this isn't over
14:07back at the birch cabin
14:09i got kyle out of his soap clothes
14:11got him into a hot bath
14:13mara brewed some herbal tea
14:15i made him drink three cups
14:18the pack healer came by
14:20said it was just a chill
14:22left some tinctures
14:24by evening
14:25the color was finally back in kyle's face
14:28i sat on the edge of the bed
14:30drying his hair
14:31finally breathing again
14:33his hand came up
14:35he grabbed my sleeve
14:36i stopped and looked down
14:39mom
14:41you shouldn't have crossed her for me
14:46kyle
14:48someone tried to drown my son
14:50did you really think i'd just stand there and do nothing
14:53he didn't answer
14:54just looked at me
14:56he stayed quiet for a long time
14:59then
14:59he spoke again
15:01i'm going to make the alpha notice you
15:03i'm going to make him care about you
15:07kyle
15:08victoria's angry
15:09the only way to stop her from coming after us
15:16is if the alpha favors you
15:19i'm going to make him choose you mom
15:22it's the only way
15:23the very next day
15:25kyle went to work
15:27he came back with a folded piece of paper
15:29a list
15:31written in neat
15:32careful handwriting
15:33he read it off to me
15:35rule one
15:37the alpha likes dark blue
15:39says it looks clean
15:41so wear dark blue
15:43rule two
15:44every day after sunset
15:46he walks the north woods path
15:48no guards
15:49and rule three
15:51no lavender perfume
15:53he hates the smell
15:54don't use it
15:58where did you get all this
16:00kyle was already digging through my tiny closet
16:03i asked around
16:04listened
16:05he pulled out a dark blue dress i'd completely forgotten about
16:09shook it out
16:10checked it for moth holes
16:12gave a satisfied nod
16:15wear this tomorrow
16:17hair tied back
16:19simple
16:19nothing flashy
16:21he doesn't like women who are too obvious about it
16:24i watched this boy lay out my clothes on the bed
16:27like a general planning a war
16:29it broke my heart a little
16:33kyle
16:34who taught you all this
16:36his hands stopped
16:38that sharp
16:39focused look on his face cracked for a second
16:41underneath
16:42he just looked tired
16:45he didn't look at me
16:47my mom
16:48lyra
16:50this is what she used to do
16:52whenever she wanted the alpha to come see her
16:55the room went dead silent
16:57i opened my mouth
16:58then closed it
17:00finally
17:00i just put a hand on his shoulder
17:03gave it a gentle squeeze
17:05i won't let you down kyle
17:08i promise
17:09he gave me one long look
17:12nodded
17:13and went back to folding the dress
17:16the plan was simple
17:18at sunset
17:19go to the clearing by the north path
17:21sit in the gazebo
17:23play the guitar
17:24and look natural
17:25kyle spent two days teaching me a simple melody
17:29an old folk song
17:30he made me practice until my fingertips were raw
17:35when the alpha comes
17:36don't look up right away
17:38let him hear the music first
17:40make him come to you
17:42and whatever you do
17:44don't panic
17:46easier said than done
17:48by the time i was actually sitting in that gazebo
17:51guitar on my lap
17:53my palms were dripping with sweat
17:55the sun dipped below the tree line
17:57shadows swallowed the clearing
17:59then footsteps on the gravel path
18:02my heart hammered against my ribs
18:05i took a deep breath
18:06and my mind went completely blank
18:09every note
18:10every chord
18:12gone
18:12but i was already here
18:14i couldn't just sit there like an idiot
18:18so i did the only thing i could think of
18:21i started playing
18:22and it was terrible
18:24a total disaster
18:26i hit one string
18:28the note came out sharp and awful
18:30i tried again
18:32somehow it sounded worse
18:34sweat soaked through my dress
18:36my face was burning
18:38behind me
18:40someone let out a laugh
18:41not loud
18:43not even mocking
18:44more like
18:46surprised
18:46i froze
18:48slowly
18:48i turned around
18:50alpha dominic was standing three steps away
18:53arms crossed
18:54one eyebrow raised
18:56the corner of his mouth twitching
18:59he took a step closer
19:01impressive
19:02you somehow played every single note wrong
19:06i wanted to die on the spot
19:08stand up
19:09i stood
19:11clutching the guitar to my chest like a shield
19:13he sat down on the bench
19:16took the guitar right out of my stiff hands
19:18rested it on his knee
19:20then he grabbed my arm and pulled me down right next to him
19:24close
19:25shoulder to shoulder close
19:27he took my hand and pressed my fingers against the strings
19:31his large hand covering mine
19:33he placed my fingers on the strings
19:36guided my hand to strum
19:38a clean clear note rang out
19:42see
19:42not that hard
19:44smelled like cedar and wood smoke
19:46his voice was a low rumble
19:48right by my ear
19:50my mind went blank
19:51i couldn't even breathe right
19:53he guided me through a few more notes
19:56still not great
19:57but not a total catastrophe
20:01i can't do this
20:04i don't have the talent
20:05i'll never get it right
20:06he went quiet for a second
20:08then
20:09he set the guitar aside
20:11he swept me up into his arms
20:13i let out a gasp
20:15and scrambled to grab his shirt
20:17well if you can't learn the guitar
20:21then i'll just have to teach you something else
20:27he stayed at the birch cabin that night
20:29later
20:30in the dark
20:32he held me tight
20:33his chin resting on my head
20:36you're different
20:38different from everyone else
20:40i lay there in his arms
20:41my heart still racing
20:43different how
20:44because i'm useless
20:46because i can't even do one thing right
20:49i thought of what kyle said earlier
20:51you have something nobody else has
20:54the alpha will see it
20:57was it
20:58what did i actually have
21:00i had lived two lives
21:02and i still didn't know
21:03why anyone would want me to stay
21:05the next morning
21:06the gifts arrived at the birch cabin
21:09fine fabrics
21:10silver earrings
21:12a fur-lined cloak
21:14things i'd never owned in two lifetimes
21:17the pack servant was suddenly all deference
21:19courtesy of alpha dominic
21:22i stared at the pile on the table
21:24then i scooped it all up
21:26and walked straight into kyle's room
21:28he was sitting at his desk
21:30back straight as a board
21:33kyle
21:33look

21:40i'll make you a coat
21:41and look
21:44we'll save this one
21:45for when you find your mate
21:47an engagement gift
21:49kyle put his pen down
21:51he didn't look at the gifts
21:53he just looked at me
21:56mom
21:57the alpha gave these to you
21:59you need to wear them
22:02you have to keep his attention
22:04i laughed and pulled him into a tight hug
22:10you sound like an old man
22:11my clothes are fine
22:13if i don't give the best things to you
22:15who else would i give them to
22:16he squirmed
22:17but didn't pull away
22:18his ears turning red
