00:30I didn't scream, not a single tear, because in five days, I'd be gone.
00:35Two days ago, I drank Deathbloom Draft.
00:38Once it hit, my heart would stop, my scent would fade, and the pack would burn my body.
00:43Silas would grieve for a week, and then forget me.
00:47Then, I would cross the southern border to Clearwater County and find Caleb.
00:51Three years ago, my father pinned me against the wall.
00:54He gave me a choice, either enter a mating contract with Silas and help him take the throne,
00:59or he'd wipe Caleb's pack off the map tonight.
01:01I nodded.
01:02My only condition, once Silas was crowned, my father would give me the poison,
01:07and I would fake my death and leave.
01:09Elena and I share the same father.
01:11She's the Luna's daughter.
01:13I'm the bastard.
01:14I was a sickly kid, so my father dumped me with a foster pack down south.
01:19That's where I met Caleb, the alpha's son.
01:22When I turned 18, he held my hand under an old oak tree.
01:27Harper, whenever you're ready, I'll claim you.
01:30You're mine.
01:32For good.
01:33Harper, that's my real name.
01:35No one in this pack knows it.
01:37The day before our mating ceremony, my father's thugs broke in and dragged me back north.
01:42No!
01:43Now, Silas was crowned.
01:45Five days left.
01:46The pack was dead quiet.
01:48Everyone was waiting for me to break.
01:50I didn't.
01:53Seven days later, Silas kicked my door open.
01:59He expected me to fall to my knees and beg him to change his mind.
02:03He came here to finish his act, hand me a gift, tell me his heart was Elena's,
02:07and look like a generous alpha king in front of the pack.
02:10But I didn't give him the show.
02:12Elena will be a great Luna.
02:15You chose well.
02:16He narrowed his eyes.
02:17The breakdown he wanted didn't happen.
02:20Liam walked in holding a bundle of white fox fur.
02:23Silas had spent three days hunting in the northern snowfields just to get it.
02:27I looked at it.
02:29I didn't reach out about-
02:31You want me to sew a cloak for Elena?
02:33Her birthday's coming up.
02:35Silas's jaw locked.
02:38You didn't actually think this was for you.
02:41Please, Silas.
02:42You made it clear a long time ago she's the only one you want.
02:46You wouldn't waste a prize like this on me.
02:48I know my place.
02:49Liam suddenly spoke up.
02:51Actually, Brianna, he-
02:53Shut up, Liam!
02:55Liam shut his mouth.
02:56He looked at me for a second, then looked down.
02:59Silas turned and slammed the door.
03:03At dawn, I dropped the cloak off at the Luna's chambers.
03:08Kneel.
03:09I knelt.
03:38She ran her fingers along the lining.
03:40She's trying to kill me!
03:41I had always been at Silas's side.
03:43No one dared to touch me.
03:45Elena saw them hesitate.
03:47Her voice went cold.
03:48Trying to kill your Luna is a death sentence.
03:51Pin her down.
03:5220 strips with the silver whip.
03:55You know exactly who the alpha truly loves.
03:58Are you really going to defy me for her?
04:00They stepped forward and grabbed my arms.
04:04Sarah rushed in, screaming.
04:06Two wolves instantly slammed her against the wall.
04:12Brianna!
04:13They threw me face down on the stone floor.
04:16The first lash hit.
04:18Silver burned through my shirt, straight into flesh.
04:21I bit my lips so hard I tasted.
04:24Blood.
04:24Second lash.
04:26Third lash.
04:29Five days left.
04:31Wait for me, Caleb.
04:33Stop!
04:33Aurora shook the house.
04:35It was Silas.
04:36He shoved the guards aside and dropped to his knees beside me.
04:40His hands were shaking.
04:43Brianna.
04:46Who touched her?
04:50Silas.
04:51It was her.
04:53She hid this in the cloak.
04:55If it hadn't bricked me first, it would have killed me.
04:58She hates me.
04:59She's always hated me.
05:06Alpha, no.
05:08We sewed that cloak together.
05:09There were no needles.
05:10He's lying.
05:14Please.
05:15Sarah, shut up.
05:16Silas looked at Elena's tear-stained face.
05:19Then he looked at my bleeding back.
05:22He paused for one second.
05:23He took his hand off me.
05:25Take Sarah out back.
05:27Tear her apart.
05:31I had never begged him.
05:33This was the first time.
05:37Alpha.
05:40Sarah was only trying to protect me.
05:43Please.
05:44He froze.
05:46Suddenly, Elena smashed the guards' dagger and pressed it to her own throat.
05:50Silas, I would rather die than live with this accusation!
05:53Silas ripped the dagger from her leg and pulled her into his arms.
05:57He closed his eyes.
05:58Then opened them.
06:01I gave an order.
06:03Tear her apart.
06:05A scream pushed the air outside.
06:07Blood rushed up my throat.
06:09Everything went black.
06:10I woke up in my own bed.
06:12Liam sat beside me with a bowl of medicine.
06:15He delivered the Alpha's orders.
06:16I was forbidden to leave my room.
06:18Forbidden to go near the Luna.
06:21Then, he paused.
06:23They dealt with Sarah.
06:26Pack rules.
06:28She's already in the ground.
06:32The Alpha told me to send her family some money.
06:35I stared at the ceiling.
06:36I said nothing.
06:38Liam put the bowl down.
06:40He stood by the bed for a long time.
06:42I gave him no reaction.
06:44Finally, he turned and left.
06:47For the next five days, take medicine.
06:50Change bandages.
06:51Eat.
06:52Sleep.
06:54The wound on my chest festered into a patch of black, rotting flesh.
06:58I just waited for the five days to pass.
07:00For Caleb.
07:01On the fifth day, Liam came.
07:04The Alpha wants to see you.
07:05On the way, he lowered his voice.
07:08Rumors are spreading outside the territory.
07:10They're saying the Luna is cruel.
07:11That she hurts innocent wolves for fun.
07:14The old Pax want the Alpha to break the bond.
07:16She tried to hang herself this morning, but they got to her in time.
07:20The Alpha's furious.
07:21He wants the one behind it dead.
07:24I looked at him.
07:25He didn't look at me.
07:26In the great hall, the entire pack was on their knees.
07:29Elena was curled in Silas' lap, crying.
07:32Simus, I swear I don't know did this.
07:34Why would anyone hate me so much?
07:37I'll find them.
07:38I'll make them pay one by one.
07:40He looked up.
07:41His gaze met mine.
07:43His hands stopped moving.
07:45An enforcer walked up and handed him a ledger.
07:47The one spreading the rumors is Brianna.
07:50Silas hurled the ledger at my face.
07:52The spine hit my cheekbone.
07:54You threatened the Luna?
07:55He raised his hand to give the order.
07:57Then he stopped.
07:59Elena saw his hesitation.
08:00She didn't kneel.
08:02She just leaned against a pillar and slowly slid down.
08:05Her voice shook.
08:06Silas, don't kill her.
08:09She's pack.
08:10Just throw her in the pit for a few days.
08:12But if you let a traitor walk free, how will the pack ever respect me?
08:17Then she coughed violently.
08:19A drop of blood hit the floor.
08:20She had bitten her own tongue.
08:22Elena, get the healer!
08:24He looked at me one last time.
08:26Throw her in the pit.
08:27The iron door slammed shut.
08:29A wolf walked in, carrying a bucket of silver tools.
08:33Two days.
08:33I didn't let him hear me scream once.
08:35Just as I was about to break.
08:37A scent of cold pine cut through the mold.
08:39Strong arms gathered me close.
08:42His hands were shaking.
08:43When I opened my eyes, Silas was sitting by the bed, with a bowl of medicine.
08:48Drink.
08:49He held it out.
08:50I pushed his hand away, took the bowl myself, and drank it.
08:54He stared at me for a moment.
08:56Why are you treating me like a stranger?
08:58You have a Luna now.
08:59I shouldn't be a distraction anymore.
09:01His hands clenched into fists.
09:03I didn't spread those rumors.
09:05I know.
09:06My head snapped up to look at him.
09:08My enforcers aren't blind.
09:09I know exactly who was pulling the strings.
09:12If you knew, then why let them torture me with silver?
09:15Elena is my Luna.
09:17She felt insecure.
09:18She needed to be sure of my heart.
09:20She needed to see him choose her.
09:23It was just an act.
09:24I only played along to appease her.
09:26I swear I'll make this right.
09:28Next time, I'll choose you.
09:32Next time, it sounded like I was a toy.
09:35He could throw in the trash, and pick back up when he felt guilty.
09:38There won't be a next time.
09:40The door opened.
09:41Liam came in.
09:43Alpha, the council is waiting.
09:44Silas squeezed my hand.
09:46It was freezing, but he thought I just had a fever.
09:49Then stood up and left.
09:50I reached under my pillow, for the small pouch.
09:54The death bloom root.
09:55Today was the day.
09:56Suddenly, a thick gloved hand, clamped over my mouth from behind.
10:01A heavy blow to the back of my head.
10:03Everything went black.
10:04Cold wind hit my face.
10:06I was at the top of an abandoned watchtower.
10:08My hands were tied behind my back.
10:11Elena was tied up next to me.
10:13Below us, torches lit up the night.
10:15Silas stood at the very front.
10:17At the other end of the tower, someone laughed.
10:20Long time no see, little brother.
10:22Derek, Silas' older brother, the former Alpha.
10:26Silas had dragged him off the throne and locked him in a silver cell, but he had made it out
10:31alive.
10:32Remember when you forced me to choose between my mate and my mother?
10:36He pointed at the two of us, laughing like a madman.
10:40Now it's your turn, Silas.
10:42They both fall, or you choose one.
10:46The ground below was dead silent.
10:48Elena started screaming.
10:49Silas! Save me! I don't want to die! Please!
10:53I said nothing.
10:54My heartbeat was steady.
10:56Silas looked at me.
10:57Next time, I'll choose you.
10:59He closed his eyes, then opened them.
11:02He didn't look at me again.
11:03He raised his hand and pointed at Elena.
11:06Save Elena.
11:08Derek ordered his men to take Elena down.
11:10She threw herself into Silas' arms.
11:13Derek turned to me.
11:14Goodbye, my little moon.
11:15Silver crossbow bolts shot out of the trees, punching straight through his chest.
11:20But with his dying breath, he lunged forward and pushed me off the tower.
11:24I fell.
11:25Crack.
11:26A sickening snap ripped through my spine.
11:29Silas dropped to his knees beside me and roared for the heels.
11:32A few feet away, Elena collapsed.
11:35Her blood reeked of wolfsbane.
11:37Silas.
11:39What did he force me to swallow?
11:41Am I dying?
11:43Silas froze.
11:44My wolf could heal broken bones.
11:46Elena had pure poison in her veins.
11:48He laid me back on the bloody rocks.
11:50Scooped Elena up and ran.
11:52He never looked back.
11:54The healer pressed along my ribs.
11:56Just superficial injuries.
11:58Then, my chest seized.
11:59I gagged.
12:00Black blood erupted from my mouth, soaking the white sheets.
12:04Then more.
12:05The healer pressed his fingers hard against my neck.
12:07Her pulse is crashing.
12:09It was steady ten seconds ago.
12:10Healer screamed.
12:11A needle plunged into my arm.
12:13Useless.
12:14The death bloom draft.
12:16Perfect timing.
12:17The healer's hand fell away.
12:18He dropped to his knees.
12:20Go tell the alpha.
12:21Brianna is dead.
12:22I closed my eyes.
12:24A small smile touched my lips.
12:26Finally, free.
12:28I kicked the infirmary door open.
12:30It slammed against the wall.
12:31You're lying!
12:32She's fine!
12:33It was just a few stories down.
12:35She's a wolf!
12:36She can take it!
12:38But her skin was ashen.
12:40Her lips were blue.
12:41I pressed my fingers to her neck.
12:42Brianna.
12:44Look at me.
12:47Alpha.
12:49She's been gone for ten minutes.
12:50Shut up!
12:51I smashed a glass bottle against the wall.
12:53The staff fled in terror.
12:55I sat on the edge of the bed and gathered her into my arms.
12:58She was heavy, like a corpse.
12:59Stop playing.
13:00This isn't funny.
13:02This isn't funny.
13:04Brianna.
13:05I order you to open your eyes.
13:09She didn't move.
13:10Three days passed.
13:11Her body lay in the middle of my bed.
13:13Liam pushed the door open.
13:15Alpha.
13:16May I have your permission to prepare the funeral pyre?
13:18She's not dead.
13:19Get out!
13:20No one was allowed on this floor.
13:23I washed her freezing skin myself, changed her clothes, and waited for her to open her eyes.
13:29When my patience ran out, I summoned every dark witch from the neighboring territories.
13:34Heal Brianna, and you shall have the hunting grounds, gold, and unrivaled status.
13:39A blind old witch circled the bed three times.
13:43Her wolf spirit has dissipated.
13:45The bond between you is completely broken, and what you're holding is nothing but an empty shell.
13:52If you can't bring her back, I'll tear you and every liar in this room apart, and I will bury
13:58you all!
13:59The other witches backed against the walls.
14:01No one dared look me in the eye.
14:03It was useless.
14:05Elena shoved past the guards and burst into the room.
14:08She threw herself at my feet.
14:10Simus!
14:11You're the Alpha!
14:12You can't keep doing this!
14:14She's dead!
14:16Bury her!
14:16Let her rest in peace!
14:18Look at what you're doing to yourself!
14:20It's breaking my heart!
14:21I slowly tore my eyes away from Brianna's face, and looked down at Elena.
14:25Rest in peace?
14:27She was never quiet.
14:28Hunting rogues, patrolling borders, fighting my wars, taking wounds meant for me.
14:33She never stopped for a second.
14:35I looked back at the bed.
14:36I reached out, and traced Brianna's freezing jawline.
14:39Now she's finally quiet.
14:41She doesn't have to fight anymore.
14:43She doesn't have to clean up my messes anymore.
14:46My voice broke.
14:47And it terrifies me.
14:49The seventh day, gone.
14:51A guard burst in my chambers, and collapsed his knees.
14:55Alpha!
14:55She's gone!
14:57The Luna's body, it's missing!
14:59I shot upright, my vision flooding red.
15:02What the fuck did you just say?!
15:04The ice cellar is empty.
15:05Elena went down at midnight, said she wanted to say goodbye alone.
15:08We stood the guards down.
15:10When the shift changed this morning, the room was empty.
15:13Elena.
15:14A guttural snarl tore from deep in my chest.
15:16I grabbed my hunting knife off the wall, and stormed out.
15:19Pack members scattered the moment they saw me.
15:21My scent was pure murder.
15:23They hit the ground, heads down, not one of them daring to look up.
15:26I kicked Elena's door clean off its hinges.
15:28The comb slipped from her fingers, and clattered to the floor.
15:31Simus, what are you doing?
15:33I crossed the room in two strides, and pressed the blade to her throat.
15:36Where is my mate?
15:37What are you talking about?
15:39I went to pay my respects last night.
15:40I was only there ten minutes.
15:42I will ask you one more time.
15:44Where is she?
15:47I had to do it.
15:48I couldn't just watch you starve yourself to death over a corpse.
15:53She's dead, Silas.
15:55I returned her to the earth.
15:57I had the Omagas bury her in the pack cemetery.
16:01Who gave you the right to touch her?
16:02Who told you to put her in the ground?
16:07Dig her up.
16:09Now, go!
16:11Liam burst a minute later, caked in mud, and dropped to his knees.
16:14Alpha, the coffin is empty.
16:17Nothing inside but stones.
16:19I turned slowly.
16:20My blood-red eyes locked onto Elena.
16:23Where did you dump her?
16:24She broke completely.
16:26I had the Omagas throw her into Rotwood Forest!
16:30She's dead!
16:31She's a corpse!
16:32What are you doing standing guard over her?
16:34I am your Luna!
16:36How dare you!
16:40You throwed her away like she was trash.
16:42The Rotwood Forest.
16:43The stench of decay hit us before we even reached the tree lane.
16:47My guards gapped.
16:47A few doubled over and vomited onto the dead leaves.
16:51I smelled nothing.
16:52I felt nothing.
16:53I threw myself into the pit of corpses.
16:56Brianna!
16:57I clawed through the filth with my bare hands.
17:00Rotting flesh stuck to my fingers.
17:01Jagged bones sliced my palms open, but I didn't feel a thing.
17:05Alpha, stop!
17:06Let us search!
17:07You can't do this!
17:08I shoved them off.
17:10Get away!
17:11We dug from dawn until the last light bled across the horizon.
17:15And then I saw it.
17:16In a dark corner, half buried beside a pile of fresh kills, was a scrap of pale blue fabric.
17:22Her flannel shirt.
17:24The one I gave her last winter.
17:25The cloth was torn to shreds, soaked with mud and blood.
17:28But there were no bones.
17:29No body.
17:30I collapsed to my knees in that sea of death, clutching the stained fabric to my chest.
17:36When I threw back my head in hell, Liam and the guards dropped to their knees as one.
17:40When I finally returned to the pack house, I gave my final order.
17:44Strip Elena of the luma title.
17:46Throw her in the silver cells and let her rot.
17:49Three years passed.
17:51The elders had backed me into the council hall again.
17:54Alpha, a pack cannot stand without its luna.
17:57She is its heart.
17:59We need an heir.
18:00I stared at the polished surface of the table.
18:04My mate is dead.
18:05There will be no new luna.
18:07Elder Thomas swallowed hard, but pressed on.
18:09We all mourn her, Alpha.
18:11But she is gone.
18:13You are our leader.
18:14You have a duty to this pack.
18:17I snatched the list of potential teeth from his hand and hurled it across the room.
18:21The next person who dares say the word luna to me gets their throat ripped out.
18:25Personally!
18:26I stalked out of the hall and went to her room.
18:28I kept it exactly as she'd left it.
18:30The pack mates cleaned it daily, but nothing was ever moved.
18:33Her soft blue blanket was still draped over a cushion.
18:36Beside it lay a half-read novel.
18:38The corner of the page curled up from her habit of chewing on it when she was lost in thought.
18:43It was as if she'd just stepped out for a walk.
18:44As if she might return at any moment.
18:46A week later, long after midnight, Liam entered my office.
18:49He set a cup of hot broth on my desk and spoke quietly behind me.
18:53Alpha, it's late.
18:54You really should get some rest.
18:57Liam, do you think she hated me?
18:58She should have.
18:59Every single time, I chose Elena over her.
19:02When she was poisoned, I didn't believe her.
19:03When they threw her in the pit, I stood by and watched.
19:06Her friend died because of me and I never even asked what happened.
19:08That last time, on the tower.
19:10I wanted to choose her, I know I did.
19:13But the name I called out, it was still Elena's.
19:15Alpha, I think she cared for you, it's just...
19:17I wish she had hated me.
19:20Hate is a feeling, Liam.
19:22At least then I would know she still felt something for me at all.
