Transcript
00:00That was the 60-second marking ceremony, Ben, and I were supposed to hold.
00:05As always, I stood alone in the center of the moonlight forest, waiting for the full moon to rise.
00:11And, as always, Ben didn't show up.
00:14Seven years together, and he had refused to mark me for the 60-second time.
00:19Mom, I've decided to return to the Frostfang pack.
00:23My dear girl, you've finally made your decision.
00:26Your father has been waiting all these years.
00:29He never gave the Alpha seat to anyone else.
00:32And Rocco, he's the Alpha of the Crimson Moon pack now.
00:36He's still waiting for you.
00:39If he still wants me, I'll marry him.
00:42But, is Ben Lombardi the one you've always loved?
00:44No.
00:46I've thought it through.
00:48I'll return soon.
00:55That day, I stood there, alone, bearing the growing pain from the unfulfilled mate bond.
01:02Eventually, I had to reach out through our weak psychic link.
01:06Ben, did you forget tonight is our marking ceremony?
01:10Sorry, it's Chloe's birthday tonight.
01:13We're out celebrating.
01:14I don't think I'll make it back by moonrise.
01:16Susan, I promise.
01:17We'll definitely do it next time.
01:21It was already the 62nd time in seven years that he'd cancelled on me because of Chloe.
01:26Because of his adopted daughter.
01:28Just last night, I'd reminded him again.
01:31Ben, tomorrow is the day of our bonding ceremony.
01:36I won't forget.
01:39But in the end, he forgot.
01:42And I stood in the center of the forest, mocked by the warriors of his Firefang pack.
01:47Told you, she's just a lowly Omega.
01:50A plaything.
01:51Why would an Alpha ever mark her?
01:57That was the final straw.
01:59As the daughter of the Frostfang Alpha, I could no longer allow my dignity to be trampled.
02:04But I turned and walked away.
02:08Only to be ambushed by rogue wolves in the dark.
02:11I tried to contact Ben for help.
02:14He didn't answer.
02:15So I fought alone.
02:25With everything I had, I lived.
02:29At the edge of death, I finally saw the truth.
02:34Mom, I want to come home.
02:36I wasn't going to beg Ben to mark me anymore.
02:39He could stay with his precious adopted daughter.
02:43When I returned home, the first thing I heard was laughter in the living room.
02:48Chloe, I made this Wolffang necklace just for you.
02:51I even had the showman bless it.
02:54So you'll never get sick again.
02:55Wow, thank you daddy.
02:57You're the best.
02:58Of course.
03:00You're the most important person to me.
03:02Watching them, I felt...
03:04Sick.
03:06Susan, you're back!
03:08Are you here to celebrate my birthday too?
03:10And then the scent hit me roses.
03:12Thick and nauseating.
03:14I'm allergic to strong florals.
03:16I stepped back immediately.
03:17Don't come closer.
03:19But Chloe ignored me and lunged toward me with open arms.
03:23No!
03:23Ouch!
03:24Susan, why did you push me?
03:27Chloe!
03:28I swear, I didn't use any strength.
03:32Susan, how could you?
03:34Just because we didn't finish the marking ritual doesn't mean you get to hurt Chloe.
03:38Ben's foot pressed directly on the wound as torn open by that stray wolf's claw.
03:44Now, he was tearing it open again, piece by piece.
03:48But I forced myself to stay conscious, to stay awake.
03:52Because if I fell now, it meant surrender.
03:55Hmm, apologize, Susan.
03:57You hurt Chloe.
03:59You need to be held accountable for your recklessness.
04:01She's fine.
04:02She fell on her own.
04:04It's that damn perfume, synthetic rose.
04:06I'm allergic.
04:08You knew that.
04:09Or did you forget?
04:11You still shouldn't have been violent with her.
04:14Chloe only wanted to hug you.
04:17You pushed her.
04:19It's okay, Daddy.
04:21It doesn't hurt that much.
04:23I'll call the healer.
04:27You, apologize.
04:29Chloe leaned into Ben's chest, pretending to be weak.
04:34But I caught it, that flicker of victory in her eyes.
04:38I'm sorry.
04:42There, don't cry.
04:44The pain overtaking every inch of my body.
04:47My mind began to float, my thoughts scattering.
04:51Why are you bleeding so much?
04:58Trying to guilt trap me now?
05:00What, think bleeding out in front of me will win my sympathy?
05:04Even if you die here, Susan, don't expect pity from me.
05:07He walked away, without sparing me a single glance.
05:11But that was fine.
05:12I no longer needed his pity.
05:14Because very soon, I would be gone.
05:16I stayed in bed for two whole days.
05:19Ben never came by, not even once.
05:22And I knew exactly where he was.
05:24With her, just like all the other times.
05:28I stared at the photo wall I'd once cherished.
05:31The one I now despised.
05:33A photo of the three of us.
05:35Chloe always had the brightest smile.
05:38Ben's gaze had never once landed on me.
05:40Enough!
05:42I began to pack.
05:44All the things I once held dear gifts from Ben.
05:47Necklaces, photos, handwritten notes.
05:50I tossed them into the fireplace.
05:53What the hell are you doing?
05:54Susan, you think this kind of drama is going to get my attention?
05:58It's not about you.
06:00I just wanted those memories to die with a little dignity.
06:04Stop playing these little games.
06:06You know I'm not moved by this.
06:08You'd better behave, or else-
06:10Or else you'll abandon me.
06:11You already did, Ben.
06:13You just won't admit it.
06:17Still acting out, huh?
06:18Fine.
06:19Let's talk like adults.
06:21Tonight, you'll have dinner with me and Chloe.
06:23You're practically her mother.
06:25Show some maturity and fix your relationship with her.
06:29Ben, I'm only two years older than Chloe.
06:32And you want me to be her mother.
06:35Don't you think that's a little twisted?
06:37She lost her parents young.
06:39I've raised her since then.
06:41She's never known hardship.
06:42And I won't let her start now.
06:44But I had never known hardship either.
06:47Until I fell in love with him.
06:50That night at dinner, Chloe beamed like nothing had ever happened.
06:55Ben, perhaps trying to maintain some sense of fairness, placed a piece of food in my bowl.
07:01Lemon baked base.
07:02Chloe's favorite.
07:03My most hated.
07:05The whole meal felt like a silent joke, where the only warmth came from their intimacy.
07:10And the only thing growing in me was the cold final resolve.
07:17Daddy, take me to a movie, please?
07:20Of course.
07:22Susan, get some rest.
07:24I won.
07:25Forget the next marking ceremony.
07:28This time I'll plan it myself.
07:30I promise.
07:32There'll be a big surprise.
07:34All right.
07:35I'll wait.
07:43I didn't go back to my room.
07:45Instead.
07:46I picked up my dagger, wrapped myself in my cloak, and walked deep into the forest.
07:50I knelt before the moonstone altar.
07:53Bit my finger.
07:54Blood dripped into the rune-carved stone trough.
07:57Then, I whispered the severance rite.
08:00By the name of Frostfang, I break the soul chain.
08:05In the next instant, a searing pain erupted in my chest, like claws digging into my core and tearing a
08:12piece of my soul free.
08:13The bond that had barely kept me tied to Ben shattered.
08:17The psychic backlash hit me like a tidal wave.
08:20I collapsed forward, nearly unconscious from the sheer agony.
08:24But I didn't turn back.
08:26Because this pain was my freedom.
08:29I ran toward the Frostfang pack.
08:31Home.
08:34This wasn't ordinary pain.
08:37This was the backlash from a severed mate bond.
08:40Instinctively, he reached out through the psychic link.
08:44Susan?
08:45Where are you?
08:47Can you hear me?
08:48Are you hurt?
08:50Say something!
08:51But there was only silence.
08:53A cold, endless void.
08:55The bond, the soul thread, that had always connected them, was gone.
08:59No.
08:59No, that's impossible.
09:00Ben?
09:01Where are you going?
09:02The movie isn't over yet.
09:03Watch it yourself.
09:05I have something to do.
09:07Ben!
09:10She didn't really sever it.
09:12She couldn't have.
09:13For seven years, I had waited for him.
09:16Even after he rejected me marking over and over again, I had never left.
09:21I was always there, quiet.
09:23Constant, holding his world together from the shadows.
09:27I was like a guardian wolf always watching.
09:29Always protecting, even when ignored.
09:35Susan!
09:38The house was cold, not just in temperature, but lifeless.
09:42Like someone had died here.
09:44The ceramic vase I loved shattered.
09:47The shelf by the sofa, empty.
09:49No more of my old scrolls or wool floor books.
09:52The house was stripped clean, as if I had never lived here at all.
09:56His eyes fell on the dining table.
09:58He remembered the meal from just a few days ago.
10:01He tried to be fair, so he'd given me a piece of Chloe's favorite lemon-baked base.
10:05But he knew.
10:06He knew.
10:07I hated the fishy taste of base, especially with lemon.
10:10I told him it gave me headaches.
10:12He'd remembered, but didn't bother to get me something else.
10:16She doesn't care anymore.
10:19She was no longer the girl who'd eat food she hated just to keep me from feeling guilty.
10:25He also remembered how bruised I had looked that week.
10:28And yet, he had dismissed it.
10:31Thought I was faking and trying to earn his sympathy.
10:47For seven years, he had turned me into a ghost in my own home.
10:52Let me exist only in the edges, in Chloe's shadow.
10:55Even the scent of the rooms had slowly changed, from my warm, earthy notes to Chloe's synthetic rose perfume.
11:04I had been his Luna, his fated mate, the one he had sworn to spend his life with.
11:08And yet, he had never made room for me.
11:16Susan, you didn't really leave me, right?
11:20But deep down, he knew I had.
11:22And I had done it more completely than he ever thought I could.
11:27By the time I stepped on to the ridges of Frostfang Mountain, the sky had just begun to pale, with
11:33the first light of dawn.
11:34The wind greeted me with the familiar scent of snow cedar, and stone-cold earth-sharp, clean, and ancient.
11:41This was the scent of my bloodline.
11:46That's...
11:49She's back! Lady Susan has returned!
11:57You're really back!
12:00My baby girl!
12:02You're home!
12:03And for the first time since leaving Ben, I cried.
12:06Not from pain, but because someone finally cared about me.
12:10Not for what I did, but for simply being me.
12:13You've suffered long enough.
12:15The Alpha Seat has always been waiting for you.
12:17From now on, you'll never stand alone again.
12:20Standing between them, wrapped in unconditional love.
12:24I felt like the barren plane inside, my heart had finally thawed.
12:28Like the first rain after years of frost.
12:33Another day later, and she would have permanently destabilized her Alpha Core.
12:37It's alright.
12:39I'm back now.
12:40I won't fall again.
12:41That night, the Frostfang Pack lit a ceremonial bonfire to welcome their true heir home.
12:49Laughter and warmth surrounded me, and for the first time in so long, I didn't feel alone.
12:56Big Sister Susan, will you stay here forever?
13:00Yes, I will.
13:03In my palm sat a single black obsidian bead, the only thing I brought with me from Ben.
13:08It had once hung from a necklace he gave me.
13:12Now, nothing more than a burnt relic.
13:14I dropped it gently into, the dying embers at my feet.
13:18The bead cracked.
13:19Leaving the Firefang Pack behind, felt like breathing clean air after drowning.
13:25Don't catch a cold.
13:27Coming home felt better than anything I'd remembered.
13:32Today, I was meeting Rocco, Alpha, of the Crimson Moon Pack.
13:37A promise made long ago, when I was ten years old, was finally coming due.
13:44Back then, our two packs had formed an alliance, sealed with a sacred pact.
13:50The heir of Frostfang would one day become the maid of Crimson Moon's warrior, Alpha.
13:55A union of strength and blood, to safeguard the northern lineage of the wolf tribes.
14:02I remembered he once gave me, a polished moonstone etched with the rune for Luna.
14:08One day, I'll come find you.
14:12But I had veered off the path of destiny, lost myself for seven years.
14:18And yet, he had waited.
14:22You're finally back.
14:24He really waited.
14:32Rocco.
14:33There's something I can't hide from you.
14:36I took a breath, and told him everything.
14:39About Ben.
14:41About the obsession.
14:42The patience.
14:43The sixty-two humiliating rejections.
14:46About how I severed the mate bond with my own hands.
14:49How I ran broken and alone from a place that had never been home.
14:53He listened without a word.
14:55Not once did he look away.
14:57There was no judgment.
14:59No surprise.
15:00No hesitation.
15:01Only a quiet, aching sorrow in his gaze.
15:04So now you know.
15:05I'm not the pure Luna everyone imagined.
15:08I'm not untouched or unscarred.
15:12I was rejected.
15:14For seven years.
15:16Then, he's a blind bastard.
15:19Rocco was known as Crimson Moon's fiercest warrior.
15:23His presence alone could silence a battlefield.
15:26But now, as he approached me, his aura was like moonlight.
15:31You're not broken, Susan.
15:34You're the strongest Luna I've ever known.
15:37You just gave your soul to the wrong Alpha.
15:40I don't care what you've been through.
15:42What I care about is how much you had to endure.
15:47I didn't say those words to impress you.
15:49Not to flatter you.
15:50Not because of politics or duty.
15:53But because I meant them.
15:55Everyone.
15:56I had waited seven years.
15:59Not because of a pact.
16:01But because you were worth the wait.
16:03So, Susan.
16:05If you're willing, I want to complete the bond with you.
16:09Not just for the Pax.
16:11But for us.
16:13I looked into his eyes.
16:14And for the first time in a long time,
16:16I didn't see pain or shadows in my reflection.
16:19I saw light.
16:21A legacy reborn.
16:22A new beginning.
16:24Fine.
16:25I chose a bond.
16:27Not out of duty.
16:28Not out of vengeance.
16:29Because someone chose me first.
16:34You know, I once sat like this, waiting for someone else.
16:38He never came.
16:40But you did.
16:42You've always been there.
16:44I didn't come because of you.
16:46I've always been here.
16:47It was you who finally chose to see me.
16:49I looked into his eyes and suddenly understood.
16:53Destiny wasn't frightening.
16:55What was frightening was placing your hopes in the wrong hands.
17:04Rocco was never the one I waited for.
17:07He was the one who had waited for me.
17:09Una.
17:10But to you, I never ranked above an 18-year-old girl.
17:13I'm not the girl who waited for your marking anymore.
17:16That bond.
17:17I severed it with my own hands.
17:19You felt it too, didn't you?
17:21That soul-deep tearing.
17:23Every day since.
17:25Has felt like I'm still tearing apart.
17:27Susan.
17:28Please.
17:29Let me make it right.
17:30Just give me a chance.
17:32You didn't miss a ceremony.
17:33You missed seven years of everything.
17:36And I don't want to look back anymore.
17:38Then what am I now?
17:40You were once the man I would have given everything to.
17:43Now.
17:44You're just an ending.
17:47He came too late.
17:48And I had already walked too far.
17:55I had already walked too late.
17:56I had already walked too late.
18:00I had already walked too late.
18:22I had already walked too late.
18:25I had already walked too late.
18:36I was sort of Congrats.
18:36How beautiful are the other people here?
18:36What am I supposed to get?
18:40How beautiful are these guys?
18:42How beautiful are these guys displayed?
18:48They know that all their girlfriends will be done.
18:51I am looking for one another form of free.
18:51Like a few nights or boundaries.
19:10After Ben left, the Council Elders of Frostfang came to see me.
19:14The Moon Alton was ready.
19:17This time I didn't hesitate. There was no waiting, no heartbreak, no one who would arrive late.
19:23I bathed away the dust of the past, put on the ceremonial robe my mother had hand-stitched with snow
19:29-threaded patterns.
19:30At my waist hung the silver feather bone chain, the symbol of a female alpha of Frostfang.
19:36From this day forward, you are no one's shadow. You are the guardian of these mountains and this sky.
19:43Wolves stood silent, their low howls echoing beneath the stars, awaiting the awakening of their true Luna.
19:50Do you willingly become my Luna, to bind our souls and walk beside me for this life?
19:58I do.
20:03And then the marking began.
20:05A tremor ran through my soul. The resonance of true connection surged through me, like rain falling on parched earth.
20:12For the first time, the alpha core within me, balanced, awakened.
20:17Luna Susan!
20:22I'm home.
20:26Do you think you'll regret it?
20:30You're the first person in my life who made me feel like I could hold my head high.
20:37I won't regret this, and in that embrace, I let go of fear, of doubt, of every scar I once
20:45carried.
20:46That night, the moon above Frostfang shone brighter than it had in years.
20:52As if it had finally found its true guardian again.
20:56At dawn that day, the Frostfang's sentry horn sounded an urgent call.
21:01A messenger from the Firestone pack arrived.
21:04The Firestone was attacked.
21:07The alpha is gravely injured.
21:11Ben?
21:12Rogue wolves, led in by an outsider.
21:15A young woman.
21:16Her name was Chloe.
21:22I was not surprised.
21:23From the moment, Chloe wore rose-heavy perfume and pressed herself against me.
21:29From the first time she wept in Ben's arms while flashing, a victorious smile at me.
21:35I knew she was never innocent.
21:37She was ambition wrapped in a child's mask.
21:41According to the survivors from Firestone, after Ben cast Chloe out and revoked her place as hair,
21:47she spiraled.
21:51Days later, she returned, with a pack of exiled rogues at her back.
21:56She had lured them in under cover of darkness.
21:59She knew Firestone's defenses.
22:01She knew Ben patrolled alone.
22:03She personally detonated the granary vault, plunging the pack into chaos.
22:08Then opened the gates.
22:11Ben fought.
22:12He resisted with everything he had.
22:14But Chloe bite crushed his shoulder.
22:16His bones snapped.
22:18His strength gave out.
22:19Just when they were about to kill him, he struck.
22:22He killed Chloe with his own hands.
22:25You said you loved me.
22:27But the moment she returned, you panicked.
22:30You were never worthy of being my father.
22:34The battle left Firestone in ruin.
22:38Ben was carried back to the inner sanctum, mangled beyond recognition.
22:43He couldn't even hold his wolf form.
22:45His mind splintered.
22:47His breath stopped twice.
22:50The next day, the Firestone Council convened a closed session.
22:56Ben Lombardi, due to years of emotional negligence, political misjudgment, and harboring a trait,
23:03is hereby deemed unfit to serve as Alpha.
23:08The position is declared vacant.
23:10A new successor will be chosen by the voice of the pack.
23:14The news spread across the northern range like wildfire.
23:17When I heard it, I felt nothing.
23:19No grief.
23:20No satisfaction.
23:22Just clarity.
23:24Ben's fall was the natural consequence of the seeds he sowed.
23:28Chloe's death, the price of her descent into darkness.
23:31Some people do not grow from love.
23:34They only learn through destruction.
23:37You're still thinking about him.
23:39I'm thinking.
23:41If I hadn't left, would Frostfang have been dragged into the wreckage too?
23:46You made the right choice.
23:48Sometimes, turning back isn't kindness.
23:51It's enabling.
23:52Ben's story was over.
23:54Mine was just beginning.
23:58I found out I was pregnant after.
24:00A long patrol across the mountain.
24:03The clan healer confirmed it.
24:07Rocko stood frozen in silence for a long time.
24:11I'm going to be a dad!
24:16Two.
24:17Two?
24:18Moon goddess above?
24:19We're having two little pups?
24:21They were born in the spring of the following year, when the snow began to melt.
24:26Our firstborn came out first.
24:28He howled the moment he hit the air.
24:30He's going to be a warrior.
24:33The second was slower.
24:35A tiny girl, small and quiet.
24:38They're mine.
24:39They're ours.
24:41This.
24:42This is home.
24:43The days blurred in their giggles, snarls, and soft yips.
24:47They had their father's golden eyes, but their spirit was all Frostfang.
24:53They'll grow stronger than both of us.
24:56As long as they're happy, that's what matters most.
24:59Remember when you asked me, will I regret this someday?
25:04Never.
25:07Neither do I.
25:10Now, I am in the wind, in the mountains.
25:13In the clear cries of my two wolf pups.
25:17In the arms of the one who never made me bow.
25:20And in all of that, I have everything.
25:28Word is, Frosttail and Crimson Moon's Luna is out inspecting the lower valley, with her alpha, and two kids.
25:38Susan.
25:42Beside her was him, Rocco, the warrior alpha of the Crimson Moon.
25:47One of the strongest wolves of the north.
25:49She was, happy.
25:53Not the kind of happiness built on compromise, but real joy.
25:58Ben stood in the mud and wrought.
26:00Shoulder aching from the wound, left by the rogue wolf three years ago.
26:05After he lost his alpha title, the council stripped him of power.
26:09They said he was unstable in spirit, impure in blood, unworthy to lead a pack.
26:14He didn't argue.
26:17They were right.
26:18I had pushed away the only soul who ever loved me unconditionally.
26:24I thought she'd never leave.
26:26But she did.
26:28Completely.
26:33Susan!
26:40Are you hungry?
26:43Susan.
26:44Be happy.
26:46Since then, Ben had never gone near Frostfang again.
26:50He remained on the outskirts of Firestone, serving as a low-ranking watchguard.
26:55But every year when the first snow falls, I climb to the peak of the northern ridge and sit alone
27:00through the night.
27:05If I could do it all again, I would mark you first.
27:09Love you first.
27:12Choose you first.
27:13But there is no again.
27:15I am gone.
27:16Gone into the life she always deserved.
27:18Look how great.
27:18Listen.
27:20I in the retin?'
27:21I wonder what I have here.
