Short filmTranscript
00:00On the day of my wedding to the Lycan prince, his childhood sweetheart, Rue, his wet nurse's daughter, killed herself
00:05with her own claw.
00:06Cain knocked over the Blood Covenant cup. He was silent for a long moment.
00:09Give the wetmaid some gold coins for her retirement.
00:12Bury Rue properly.
00:14Then he went back to completing the Blood Covenant ritual with me, as if nothing had happened.
00:18Five years later, the night before Cain's coronation as Lycan king, the elders examined me and declared I was barren.
00:23Would never bear children.
00:24He had his warriors drag me to the stone quarry behind the royal grounds.
00:27Made me pave a road of atonement. Said I could never return to court.
00:30That night, he pointed at Rue's grave marker and said,
00:33She was carrying my pup when she died.
00:36If your Stormfreak tribe weren't so powerful, why would I have married you?
00:40Rue would still be alive. And so would my child.
00:45You don't deserve to have offspring. Spend the rest of your life moving stones.
00:50Atone for Rue and her pup.
00:52Within a year, my father and brother were framed for colluding with vampires.
00:56The entire Stormfang tribe was slaughtered.
00:58I coughed up blood and died.
01:00Then I opened my eyes.
01:01I was back the day I was marrying into the royal court.
01:04Outside, the wolves were howling at the moon.
01:06The sound of Alpha Cain kicking the wedding carriage axle snapped me fully awake.
01:12I was reborn.
01:13I clenched my fists.
01:15My heart pounded.
01:16If the moon goddess was giving me a second chance, I wasn't going to waste it.
01:20The Stormflag tribe wouldn't die in vain.
01:22I would live this time.
01:24And I would make him pay for every drop of blood he spilled in my past life.
01:28Cain led me into the ritual circle.
01:30Freya, my handmaiden, steadied my arm.
01:33As she leaned in, I whispered a few quick words.
01:36Freya's eyes flickered.
01:38She was a warrior raised by the Stormfling tribe.
01:40She'd been by my side since childhood.
01:42A handmaiden in name.
01:44A bodyguard in truth.
01:45I trusted her completely.
01:46The wedding between Alpha Cain and the daughter of Stormfang.
01:49Every chieftain in the northern territories had come with their mates.
01:52It was the biggest union the north had seen in years.
01:54The daughter of Stormfang was about to become the luna of the royal court.
01:58The ritual circle was alive with noise.
02:01In the name of the moon goddess, bind by blood.
02:04Then a young servant from Rue's room came running in, stumbling over herself.
02:08Alpha!
02:09Rue tried to kill herself!
02:13Tears streaming down her face.
02:14She dropped to her knees, forehead hitting the ground.
02:17Rue grew up with the Alpha.
02:20Please, Alpha, save her!
02:22Why would she do something so stupid?
02:24I told her I'd give her a title after the wedding.
02:26He caught himself mid-sentence and shut his mouth.
02:29He turned to run.
02:30Remembered it was his wedding day.
02:31Every chieftain in the north was watching.
02:33If he left now, by tomorrow, his father's desk would be buried in letters demanding his head.
02:38Leora, I need to check on Rue.
02:41I'll come back and finish the blood covenant.
02:43The wedding's set.
02:44What's the hurry?
02:45I widened my eyes, made my voice small and pitiful.
02:48Alpha, this is a matter of life and death.
02:51Why don't I come with you?
02:53A luna should handle household affairs after all.
02:57Kane looked relieved.
02:58Yes, yes, of course.
02:59So the Alpha and his bride-to-be left the ritual circle halfway through the ceremony to visit a wet
03:04nurse's daughter.
03:05The crowd whispered behind us.
03:06They couldn't believe it.
03:08Inside the wooden house, Rue was wearing a moonlight gown.
03:10The kind a bride was supposed to wear for the blood covenant.
03:12She'd dyed cheap burlap white herself.
03:15The stitches were crooked.
03:16Her half-shifted claws were pressed against her own throat.
03:19Her fingertips had already broken skin.
03:21Blood trickled down her neck, dripping onto the white dress.
03:24She saw Kane walk in.
03:25Burst in tears.
03:26Burst threw herself at him.
03:31Alpha, I didn't mean to.
03:33I just want to be with you.
03:36I know I'm low-born.
03:38Distemptity.
03:39I can never be your luna.
03:42But I wanted, just once, to wear a moonlight gown and complete the blood covenant with you.
03:49You know I've wanted to be your mate since we were children.
03:54Kane pulled her close.
03:55His face was twisted with pain.
03:57Why are you so stupid?
03:59Why are you stupid?
04:01I told you I'd give you a title after the luna moved in.
04:07Why would you do this?
04:08If anything happened to you, how could I go on?
04:13Are you trying to rip my heart out?
04:15Rue took his hand.
04:16Placed it gently over her stomach.
04:18Alpha, the healer came a few days ago.
04:21I'm carrying your pup.
04:23Two months.
04:25I didn't want my child to be born low-win.
04:28To be mocked and called bastard.
04:34That's why I...
04:35Really?
04:38Really?
04:40You're carrying my pup?
04:44Yes, Alpha.
04:47We're having a child.
04:49They held each other.
04:50Everyone else just stared.
04:52No way.
04:53The Alpha knocked up a wet mater's daughter?
04:58On his wedding day.
04:59And she chose today to make a scene.
05:01Look at them.
05:02This is bad.
05:03Leora must be devastated.
05:05She's the future Luna.
05:07This is a slap in Stormfing's face.
05:09Alpha Kane.
05:10I thought she was just a servant.
05:12Now you're telling me she's pregnant with your pup?
05:14Leora, she's my wet nurse's daughter.
05:16We grew up together.
05:18She's the woman I love.
05:19So you're in love.
05:20You've been meeting in secret.
05:22And now there's a child.
05:28Roos scrambled off the bed.
05:30Dropped to the floor in a full submission kneel.
05:33Forehead to the ground.
05:34Hands spread wide.
05:36Throat bared.
05:39Luna, it's not the Alpha's fault.
05:41Luna, it's not myself.
05:43It's mine.
05:45I couldn't control myself.
05:52My palm connected with her cheek.
05:59How dare you.
06:02I'm the legitimate daughter of Stormfun.
06:04I was raised with discipline.
06:07I will not be slander.
06:09I met the Alpha two times before the engagement.
06:12Always with Elders present.
06:14Never alone.
06:15So don't drag my name through the mud.
06:18Just to make yourself look less disgusting.
06:23Roos sobbed.
06:24Shook her head.
06:28It's my fault, Luna.
06:31Forgive me.
06:33Then she half-shifted and dragged her own claws down her face.
06:37Three gashes from forehead to cheekbone.
06:39Blood poured down her cheeks.
06:42Pain grabbed her arms.
06:44Stop.
06:47He looked at me.
06:49I not, you renounce to bend.
06:51His voice was sharp with blame.
06:53This isn't Roos' fault.
06:54That's baking at you.
06:56You were.
06:57That's the only difference.
07:00Without your father's wolves.
07:04Would I want you as Luna?
07:06Rue tried to kill herself today because of you.
07:09She's carrying my pup!
07:12Now you're married in.
07:14Rue is my consort.
07:15I won't leave her or my child without a title.
07:18I laughed at him.
07:20Luna?
07:20The Lycan King himself had approved this match.
07:23If it weren't for this engagement,
07:24Cain wouldn't even be sitting in the Alpha's seat.
07:27I lifted my chin.
07:28The Luna position was granted by the Lycan King himself.
07:34How you've behaved today on our wedding day.
07:37Insults not only Stormfig, but also the King.
07:40If you loved Rue, why not call the engagement?
07:43You wanted my family's army.
07:45And your lover.
07:47Did you think I'd refuse you a consort?
07:51And you?
07:53You've known about the pregnancy.
07:55You waited until wedding day to make a scene.
07:58Are you really not doing this on purpose?
08:02I heard a servant say,
08:04You make consorts drink sterilization tonic!
08:07I was afraid for my pup!
08:10Sterilization tonic?
08:11Which servant?
08:12My people just arrived.
08:14They don't even know where the wooden houses are.
08:16Why would they gossip about me?
08:17Do you think the servants of Stormburn are as undisciplined as yours?
08:21Go on.
08:22Name the servant.
08:23Let's have a face-to-face confrontation.
08:26Rue's face went red.
08:27Then pale.
08:28Finally, she whispered,
08:30Oh.
08:32I don't know.
08:32Maybe I misheard.
08:34Everyone understood.
08:35It was pathetic.
08:36Just a whore.
08:38Using her belly to cause trouble on a wedding day.
08:40She thought a noble bride would be too ashamed to fight back.
08:44Leora must be so humiliated.
08:45She's a storm home.
08:47The future Luna.
08:49Then Cain's wet nade,
08:50Rue's mother came rushing in.
08:53Dropped to her knees in full submission pose.
08:56Luna.
08:57Luna.
08:58Praise the alpha.
08:59Give Rue a title.
09:01Or the king and queen will kill her.
09:05Get up.
09:08You're my Luna.
09:09And you're making her kneel?
09:10This is how Stormflin treats elders?
09:15I loved Rue before you.
09:17I accepted you as Luna.
09:20But if you're this jealous and petty,
09:22how can you be mate to a future Lycan king?
09:27I remembered what he'd done to my family in my past life.
09:31The blood rushed to my head.
09:35This time,
09:37I would not let history repeat.
09:41Cain and Rue clung to each other.
09:43I stepped back
09:44and pulled off my wolf-thing necklace.
09:48Your love is so touching.
09:50I won't stand between you.
09:52We haven't completed the blood covenant.
09:55Technically, we aren't mates.
09:56And Rue is already wearing her moonlight gown.
09:59Why don't you two complete the ritual together?
10:05The engagement is over.
10:08I'm not marrying you.
10:11The chieftains behind me erupted.
10:14No way.
10:15The Lycan king himself approved this match.
10:21The alpha slapped Stormfin in the face.
10:23Radnar Stormfin won't let this go.
10:25Lyora is a Stormfog princess.
10:27She doesn't have to take this.
10:28She'd rather lose the Lunar position
10:30than tolerate a servant's bastard child.
10:34Cain stared at me,
10:36stunned.
10:37You're breaking off the engagement?
10:38This is treason.
10:39My father approved this marriage.
10:43Alpha, don't fight with the Lunar because of me.
10:45I'll give up everything.
10:47Go complete the blood covenant.
10:49Don't make the Lion King angry.
10:51Don't break father and son apart.
10:54You're always thinking of me.
10:56My good Rue.
10:57I won't fail you.
11:00Are you sure your father and brother will agree to this?
11:03Can Stormvag really give up this kind of power?
11:06Stormfold can.
11:16Stormfold can.
11:17It was my father.
11:18Behind him stood my brother.
11:20Ragnar Stormfin.
11:22This marriage was approved by the Lion King.
11:26Your daughter cannot simply throw away a royal convulment.
11:30He humiliated you in front of every tribe.
11:33Hold.
11:34My daughter has spoken.
11:36Stormfin stands with her.
11:38This covenant is broken.
11:40This covenant is broken.
11:41You dare defy the King's order.
11:43Tomorrow, I'll go to court myself.
11:45You dare!
11:47Leora, if you leave the royal court today, don't think you can ever come back.
11:51Don't worry, Alpha.
11:52I will never set foot in this court again.
12:00My father and brother brought me home.
12:02My mother had already heard the news.
12:05My Leora.
12:07You've been wronged.
12:08Her eyes were red as she came out to meet us.
12:11Because it was my wedding day, our tribe's relatives and friends were all there.
12:15Everyone was already here.
12:17Don't worry.
12:18You'll find someone better.
12:19He's not worth it.
12:20I laughed through my tears.
12:22This time, my family and tribe were alive.
12:24I would protect them.
12:26My mother held my hand.
12:27I leaned into her, feigning girlish neediness.
12:30Father, you and Mother have to stand up for me.
12:33That Alpha humiliated me.
12:35He disrespected Father too.
12:37Don't worry.
12:39The Alpha's out of line.
12:42We're not the only ones who will be writing letters of complaint.
12:45The next morning.
12:46Miss, you're awake.
12:49Something huge happened.
12:51You'll be so happy.
12:53It turned out that after I left the wedding,
12:55the servants had spread the news all the way to the Lion King and Queen.
13:01The Queen had smashed a cup of wine in fury.
13:05Rue Morrow.
13:06Of all the people to offend, he chose Stormfane?
13:09That bitch.
13:10I knew her.
13:12A servant girl.
13:14I never took her seriously.
13:16Now she's carrying his pup?
13:18She thought Liara would just accept it quietly?
13:21On her wedding day?
13:23Does she even know who Liara is?
13:25Stormberg's only daughter.
13:27Raised by the Luna herself.
13:28I picked Liara for Kane.
13:30I spent years arranging this match.
13:34And they ruined it.
13:35All for a half-grown pup.
13:37She thinks she can marry into the royal court because she's got a lump of flesh in her belly.
13:42This court has never lacked for pups.
13:45Bring Rue Moran to the moon goddess altar.
13:47Make her kneel and reflect on her mistakes.
13:50When the Queen's female warriors dragged Rue out of her wooden house, she was still screaming.
13:56How dare you!
13:57I'm carrying the Lycan royal family's pup!
14:03When Alpha Kane finds out, he'll have you executed!
14:07The warriors were calm.
14:09Let me go!
14:09The Queen's orders.
14:12Ah!
14:13No!
14:14Kneel at the moon goddess altar.
14:17When you understand your mistake, you can get up.
14:19Impossible!
14:20I'm carrying a future royal pup!
14:23The Queen can't do this to me!
14:25I'm the Alpha's future consort!
14:28The Queen's personal attendant stood to the side, expressionless.
14:31Miss, the Queen has made herself clear.
14:34You ruined the Alpha's engagement.
14:37The punishment for that.
14:40Is death.
14:42If you don't kneel and reflect, you can reflect in the dungeon instead.
14:46Rue's face went white.
14:48She didn't say another word.
14:50She spent the moonless night on her knees at the moon goddess altar.
14:53Hands bound behind her back, an iron chain around her neck.
14:57Noble women passing by whispered,
15:00This is the servant girl from yesterday.
15:02She's not a servant.
15:04She's the wet nurse's daughter.
15:05Her mother was claimed by a servant.
15:07She was born a slave.
15:09She grew up with the Alpha.
15:12Think she can seduce her way to the top.
15:15Disgusting.
15:16I heard Ragnar Stormvon went to court today to ask for the engagement to be formally arrived.
15:21If that happens, the Queen is going to flay her alive.
15:25Rue broke out in a cold sweat.
15:27She looked like she might collapse.
15:29Yes.
15:32My father and brother knelt before the Lycan king.
15:35Your majesty, we spoiled our daughter.
15:36She's not fit to marry the Alpha.
15:38Leora heard that the Alpha loved someone else.
15:40That woman is pregnant.
15:42Leora didn't want to come between them.
15:44She asked to annul the engagement.
15:45Please, your majesty, understand.
15:47The king's face was dark.
15:48Cain, what do you say?
15:50Cain lifted his chin.
15:51Ragnar Stormfern.
15:53Were the women of Stormfern never taught basic manners?
15:56I'm going to be Lyon King.
15:58So what if I have another woman?
16:00She calls off the engagement over that?
16:02Spoiled.
16:03Completely spoiled.
16:04My brother raised his head.
16:06Alpha, this isn't worth it.
16:07A single woman?
16:08You'd ruin an alliance over one woman?
16:11You sit at the highest seat of power.
16:13You're supposed to set an example.
16:14Plenty of other women want to be my Luna.
16:16If your daughter doesn't want the position, fine.
16:20Engagement annulled.
16:20Your majesty, the Alpha has agreed.
16:24Please issue the decree.
16:25My father pressed his forehead to the ground.
16:27The Lyon King looked at his son with disappointment.
16:30You are my heir, and yet you behave like this.
16:33Fine.
16:34If you insist on breaking this engagement, I will give you what you want.
16:38My father and brother left the court, beaming.
16:41Meanwhile, on Cain's side, he barely stepped out of the hall when a servant came running.
16:46Your Highness, Rue, the Queen, locked her in the tower.
16:50At the moon goddess altar.
16:53Cain rushed over.
16:54Rue was pale as death from kneeling.
16:56She saw him and collapsed into his arms.
17:01Alpha, save me.
17:02Cain carried her into the hall.
17:04The Queen rose to her feet, incandescent.
17:07Cain!
17:08You defied your father's order for her.
17:10You defied my order.
17:13Are you trying to bring the whole court down?
17:15Cain set Rue down, knelt before the Queen.
17:19Mother, Rue is carrying my first pup.
17:22Your grandchild.
17:24The Queen smashed her cup.
17:27One pup?
17:28Against the entire Stormflow tribe?
17:30Do you understand what you've lost?
17:32Stormflow's wolves.
17:34The strongest warriors in the north.
17:36Gone!
17:37Cain raised his head.
17:38Stormfling is a loyal subject of my father.
17:41Whether his daughter is my Luna or not, he will serve the King.
17:45I'm not afraid.
17:47If I can't protect the woman I love, what kind of Alpha am I?
17:51Not giving Rue the Luna position is already my biggest concession.
17:55Leora disrespected me.
17:57If I'd let her into this court, it would have been endless trouble.
18:01The Queen stared at him.
18:02For a long moment, she said nothing.
18:05Then she waved her hand.
18:07Years of teaching.
18:08All wasted.
18:11Fine.
18:13Have it your way.
18:14Leave.
18:15The news spread through the court.
18:17Cain had fought with the Queen over Rue.
18:20Some saw opportunity.
18:22If Rue would be the Alpha's consort, it was worth currying favor.
18:28Noblewomen began visiting her.
18:36The Queen announced she would be selecting a new Luna for Cain.
18:40There was a banquet for the arrival of the Southern Emzays.
18:43The Queen invited all the noble daughters to keep them company.
18:47After the banquet, we walked through the Moon Goddess Garden toward the Spring Pool.
18:52Rue was sitting in one of the poolside chairs, wearing a dark red dress.
18:56Several servants stood around her.
18:58She smiled when she saw us.
19:00Leora.
19:01Long time.
19:02Too bad the Alpha isn't here today.
19:04We could have caught up.
19:05I heard you isn't engaged yet.
19:07Still waiting for the Alpha?
19:08Oh, but the Queen is going to pick a new Luna for him soon.
19:11I bet you're regretting leaving now.
19:13I sat down across from her.
19:15I heard today was about choosing the Alpha's Luna.
19:18Oh, but Rue, you're pregnant.
19:19I can't just call you by name.
19:21But you haven't been officially named a consort yet, have you?
19:41I'm not sure what to call you.
19:54Interesting conversation.
19:55Mind if I join?
19:56I didn't see this young lady at the banquet.
19:58Who is she?
20:00Princess!
20:01This is the Alpha's wet-nerther's daughter.
20:03One of the noble women's explained.
20:05The one who caused a scene at his wedding.
20:07She's the Alpha's favorite.
20:09None of us dare cross her.
20:12A wet-mercys' daughter?
20:14So, a servant?
20:16And she doesn't even have a title?
20:18Then why are you sitting?
20:19We outrank you.
20:21Are you going to stand and bow?
20:23Is this how things are done in the North?
20:25Someone teach her some manners.
20:27Pick her up.
20:28Rue screamed as the guards stepped forward.
20:32Don't touch me!
20:33I'm carrying the Alpha's butt!
20:35You're a servant.
20:36Teaching you manners is doing you a favor.
20:38How is that a death sentence?
20:40Rue's voice turned strilly.
20:42The Alpha and I grew up together!
20:45We love each other!
20:48Touch me and see what happens, princess!
20:52I said, do it.
20:55The princess raised her voice.
20:58The guards grabbed Rue and forced her to her knees.
21:02The Alpha will have you all killed!
21:05Rue struggled.
21:06Hit her.
21:08The guards slapped Rue across the face.
21:11Her cheek swelled.
21:14Rue let out a high-pitched scream,
21:16shoved the guards away,
21:18and half-shifted.
21:20Bitch!
21:21She lunged at the princess.
21:22The princess reacted,
21:24just a second too late.
21:25Something cut through the stillness,
21:27and left its mark.
21:29I lunged forward,
21:30grabbed Rue,
21:30and shoved her back.
21:32She tripped over a tent rope.
21:34She screamed,
21:35but she held on and pulled me with her.
21:36We both fell into the pool.
21:37I could swim,
21:38but Rue panicked and latched onto me.
21:42We sank together.
21:44Before I lost consciousness,
21:46someone dove in.
21:47They pulled Rue off me,
21:49dragged me to shore.
21:49Brother,
21:51give Leora your cloak.
21:52She saved me,
21:53brother.
21:53Help her!
21:56The healers pounded my back.
21:58Finally,
21:59I could breathe.
22:00Alpha Cain,
22:01Lyra told that southern savage to hit me,
22:03and she pushed me into the water.
22:05She tried to kill my pup.
22:06The queen is here.
22:08The queen and her party arrived at the pool.
22:11Rue threw herself at the queen's feet.
22:13Your majesty,
22:15Leora tried to murder a royal pup.
22:17She should be executed on the spot.
22:20I stood up,
22:21wiped my mouth.
22:22Kill a chieftain's daughter on the spot?
22:24You have a lot of nerve.
22:26I fell in because you dragged me.
22:29Everyone saw.
22:30The southern princess pressed a cloth to her face.
22:33Her voice was loud and furious.
22:35Your majesty,
22:36I don't know the customs here,
22:39but in the south,
22:40attempting to assassinate a princess
22:42means execution for the assassin's entire family.
22:46She tried to kill me.
22:47Everyone saw.
22:48She clawed my face.
22:50Cain rushed forward
22:51and put himself between the princess and Rue.
22:53That's just your side of story.
22:55Rue is timid.
22:56She would never...
22:56Leora,
22:57you were the one who didn't want to be my Luna.
23:00If you're having regrets,
23:01don't take it out on Rue.
23:03Pushing her into the water?
23:04With my pup inside her?
23:06That's a capital crime.
23:07A man stepped forward.
23:08Alpha Cain,
23:10are you saying my sister is lying?
23:12He wore southern royal robes,
23:14sharp features.
23:15He was Soren Mourningshide,
23:17third prince of the south.
23:18I happened to see everything in the pool.
23:20The prince is protective of his sister.
23:22Understandable.
23:23But you shouldn't make false accusations.
23:25Soren pulled the prince's hand away from her face,
23:27looked at the bloody gash.
23:30Are you saying the southern princess
23:32clawed her own face
23:33just to frame a servant girl?
23:35I wasn't the only one watching.
23:36Your northern chieftains were there.
23:38The law keepers were there.
23:39Are they lying too?
23:41Standing nearby were the chieftains and justices.
23:44They were all looking at Cain with cold expressions.
23:46Cain, your woman tried to assassinate a southern princess.
23:51Cain's expression darkened.
23:53He turned and slapped Rue across the face.
23:57You lying bitch.
24:00You tried to frame the princess and Leora?
24:03Apologize.
24:05Now!
24:06Rue clutched her face,
24:08staring at him in disbelief.
24:10You hit me?
24:12For her?
24:13Cain leaned in,
24:15voice low and threatening.
24:17Apologize.
24:19Unless you want my father to execute you.
24:21Now.
24:22Then he hurried to Soren's side,
24:24trying to smooth things over.
24:26The southern princess wasn't calming down.
24:28I walked over to Rue.
24:31Leaned down.
24:32Spoke only loud enough for her to hear.
24:34The south is here to make an alliance.
24:37Do you really think the alpha will take your side over theirs?
24:40I could crush you like an insect.
24:42You're nothing.
24:44A servant's bastard.
24:54Soren caught my wrist.
24:56The moment he touched me,
24:57he went completely still.
25:00Mate.
25:01The word was low and rough,
25:03dragged up from somewhere deep.
25:05I froze.
25:05Before I could process it,
25:07he let go,
25:08closed his eyes briefly,
25:10collected himself.
25:11When he opened them again,
25:12his voice was cold and hard.
25:14Alpha Cain,
25:16you don't give my sister justice.
25:17I'll take it myself.
25:19Rue's face twisted.
25:21She pointed at Soren.
25:22You're defending Leora?
25:24You don't know what kind of slut she is!
25:26She's jealous of me!
25:28She's hated me ever since Cain chose me!
25:30You think she likes you?
25:32Don't be pathetic.
25:33Rue,
25:34not everyone is as small-minded as you.
25:36I'm never marrying Cain.
25:38And I'm never being Luna.
25:40You can stop worrying.
25:41Rue clutched her stomach.
25:43You noble girls.
25:44So fake.
25:45You think I don't know you're just playing hard to get?
25:48You want Cain to come crawling back?
25:49You talk too much.
25:54The princess silver whip lashed across Rue's face.
25:57She clawed my face.
25:58I'll take a hundred times that.
26:00Arrest her.
26:01One hundred flashes.
26:03The whip came down again and again.
26:05Rue screamed.
26:06Riled.
26:07Every lash left a burning welt.
26:10Cain tried to rush forward,
26:12but the queen grabbed his arm.
26:14Cain,
26:15do you want to start a war with the south by the twentieth lash?
26:19Cain couldn't take it anymore.
26:20He shoved the executioner aside.
26:23The princess stepped forward to argue,
26:25but Sorin stopped her.
26:27A servant attacks royalty.
26:29The master must answer for her.
26:31The Lyman king is the master here.
26:32I've already sent word to our father.
26:34This will be handled properly.
26:35You think I'm like the noble girls here?
26:37I don't make idle threats.
26:39If I see your face again,
26:41I'll kill you.
26:43Rue was carried away,
26:44soaped in blood.
26:46Cain stood in silence,
26:47head down.
26:48Behave yourself.
26:50Cain opened his mouth.
26:51Stay in line,
26:52if you still want to be alpha.
26:54The queen cut him off.
26:55Rue miscarried it that night.
26:57She cried out all night.
26:58No one came.
27:00Not even Cain.
27:01Before dawn,
27:02Cain's steward came.
27:03He moved Rue and her mother out of the court
27:05to a small house on the northern border.
27:07The alpha is merciful,
27:09leaving before sunrise.
27:10He'll report you dead.
27:11You'll be brought back to court as his consort
27:14once you've recovered.
27:15She waited.
27:16He never came.
27:18She heard that Cain was taking a new Luna.
27:21Rue ran out of the wooden house.
27:23In the distance,
27:24the court blazed with bonfires.
27:26Cain rode a giant wolf
27:27at the head of the procession.
27:29The Luna's carriage followed.
27:30The whole territory was celebrating.
27:33Cain!
27:34She screamed.
27:35Cain!
27:36I'm Rue!
27:37I'm the woman you love!
27:39Don't you remember?
27:41Don't you remember?
27:43The drums and the howls drowned her out.
27:46People shoved past her.
27:48She couldn't get close.
27:49She followed as far as the gates.
27:51A warrior blocked her.
27:53No entry.
27:55I'm Rue!
27:57The Alpha's!
27:58Conscort!
28:00The warrior pushed her back.
28:02The Alpha has no consort.
28:05Leave.
28:06Keep causing trouble.
28:08And we won't be nice.
28:09She went back to the wooden house in a daze.
28:14Cain's steward was there.
28:16With an unfamiliar old woman.
28:20The Alpha gives you these coins.
28:22You and your mother leave the North tonight.
28:26I don't believe you.
28:27The steward snapped his fingers.
28:29Coins are Wolfaban juice.
28:31A servant brought out a small bottle.
28:33Choose.
28:35She collapsed onto the floor.
28:37How did this happen?
28:38He loved me.
28:40The steward laughed.
28:42Miss.
28:42The Alpha is the future Lion King.
28:45He was infatuated.
28:46But the other princes are moving up.
28:49Now Cain knows.
28:50Power matters more than love.
28:52Rue asked.
28:53Who's the Luna?
28:54Is it Leora?
28:55The old woman snarted.
28:57Our Luna is a chieftain's daughter from the North.
29:00I heard Leora's engagement has been settled.
29:03She's marrying into the South.
29:05Didn't you know?
29:06Rue stared blankly.
29:10Then she started laughing.
29:12Hysterical.
29:14Tears running down her face.
29:16Stupid.
29:17I was so stupid.
29:19All that scheming.
29:21For nothing.
29:22She looked at her hands.
29:24At the full moon rising outside the window.
29:29My mother was right.
29:31And Omega's life means nothing.
29:34She poured the wolf's bane juice down her throat.
29:37Sorin asked the Lichen King for my hand.
29:40The King agreed.
29:41The engagement was announced.
29:42Sorin was already the Southern King's heir.
29:45With the alliance sealed, the Southern King publicly named him Crown Prince.
29:48I married into the South.
29:51I would be the future queen.
29:52Sorin and I lived in harmony.
29:55Two years later, I gave birth to a son.
29:59News came from the North.
30:01Alpha Cain had been deposed for incompetence.
30:04His younger brother was named heir in his place.
30:07I held my son.
30:09Looked at the northern sky.
30:12Look.
30:14That's where your mother comes from.
30:19It's time to go home.
