Short filmTranscript
00:00In my past life, I saved an alpha, and gave my only chance to leave the Borderlands to my younger
00:05brother, Felix.
00:06Years later, when I finally got news of my birth parents, I stopped by to visit him.
00:11But he looked at me with contempt, pressing his foot down hard on my face.
00:15He grabbed me by the neck, and lifted me up.
00:18You think you're worthy of being my brother?
00:20I plunged down, at full speed.
00:23Seawater rushed into my mouth and nostrils, dragging me to my death.
00:27When I opened my eyes again, Felix was on his knees, wailing.
00:34Brother, I really need this chance to follow an alpha, okay?
00:37Who could say no to a child that eager and well, behaved.
00:40Alpha Ashford looked over at me.
00:42Zane, what do you think?
00:44But I knew it was nothing but an act.
00:46I stepped forward and pulled Felix to his feet.
00:48Are you seriously planning to abandon your own parents?
00:51You already have parents.
00:53Why would you need to adopt you?
00:54Zane's still here, isn't he?
00:55Once I'm older, I'll come back and bring everyone out of the rogue pack.
00:59I laughed coldly on the inside, pinched myself hard.
01:01Alpha Ashford, I was taken from my pack as a child.
01:04Then let the pain bleed into my expression.
01:05I've been trying to find my real parents ever since.
01:07I miss them so much.
01:10Please, take me with you.
01:11You're the one who saved me.
01:13I owe you.
01:14Felix shot me a look of pure venom, as if I'd stolen something that was rightfully his.
01:19He hissed through his teeth.
01:20My parents, Bart and Normie, have raised you for years.
01:23They'll never let you leave!
01:24So Felix known all along it was deliberate.
01:27In my past life, even after Bart and Norma beat me, Felix would slip into my room and
01:32whisper comfort.
01:33I believed he was good.
01:35I treated him like real family.
01:36When he begged me to give up my place and let him go instead, I didn't hesitate.
01:40And I paid for it with the rest of my life.
01:42This boy was taken from his pack as a pup, holding a stolen pack member as a violation of pack
01:48law.
01:48Release him.
01:50Now.
01:51Bart and Norma knew they were in the wrong.
01:53But greed moved faster than fear.
01:56You ungrateful little rut!
01:57We should have left you to rot!
02:00You'll die in these borderlands before we let you walk out.
02:03I was shaking so hard I could barely stand.
02:05Don't worry about me.
02:07If this is too much trouble, just go.
02:09Alpha Ashford's gaze softened with approval.
02:12How much for you to release him?
02:14200,000 in pack resources or we beat him to death right here.
02:18Bart punctuated the threat with a hard kick to my ribs.
02:21Don't hurt my brother!
02:23Hit me instead!
02:24A cheap performance.
02:25You little traitor!
02:27Bart snarled.
02:28Raising his fist in mock threat, Alpha Ashford's expression was ice.
02:32100,000.
02:33And I'm taking Felix, too.
02:35In the end, with great theatrical reluctance, they agreed.
02:38Alpha Ashford's pack warriors carried me to the vehicle with careful hands.
02:41Felix leaned close to my ear as they settled me in.
02:44Brother, I'll have you crawling back to the borderlands before long.
02:48From the very beginning, my only goal was to get Alpha Ashford to take me away.
02:52Now that we were in the same house, the same position, as two boys taken in by the same
02:56man, we'd see who came out on top.
02:58When Alpha Ashford brought us home, a girl came out to meet us.
03:01Elena, they're your brothers from now on.
03:04You're older, so be good to them.
03:07Felix immediately grabbed Elena's hand.
03:09I'll treat you just like my own sister.
03:12Elena's brow tightened.
03:13Wash your hands first, I said.
03:14And grabbed Felix by the wrist hard enough to make him let go.
03:18Wash your hands first.
03:19Elena relaxed.
03:21She caught my eye and gave me a small nod.
03:23After a quick tour of the house, a pack servant showed us to our rooms.
03:27Felix looked around and immediately turned hostile.
03:31This room is tiny.
03:33Do you think I'm beneath you?
03:34I'll have you removed.
03:36I'm sorry, sir.
03:37I'm sorry.
03:38These are guest quarters.
03:39You're a guest.
03:41You have no authority here.
03:43I'm your brother now.
03:44When you find a mate someday, you'll need me to back you up.
03:47Elena's face darkened.
03:48She raised her hand and slapped him.
03:50I thought you actually cared about me.
03:52Alpha Ashford came running at the sound.
03:54He looked at the mark on Felix's face.
03:55Elena, that's too far.
03:57Felix turned to look at Elena from an angle Alpha Ashford couldn't see and smiled.
04:01I stepped in front of her.
04:02Alpha Ashford, this one was Felix's fault.
04:04What do you mean?
04:05He was unhappy with the guest room and demanded to move into Elena's room.
04:09Is that acceptable to you?
04:11Elena, is that true?
04:14Dad, if he wants my room, can I at least have time to pack my things first?
04:20Felix's face turned red.
04:21That's a lie.
04:22I never said-
04:23Alpha Ashford's voice dropped to ice.
04:25I think this room looks perfectly fine.
04:27Don't you agree, Felix?
04:29Felix was unwilling, but in the end, he stared at the floor and nodded slightly.
04:33Yes, Alpha.
04:34The second floor was the guest wing, where Elena had originally planned to put both of us.
04:39The third floor belonged to the family.
04:41To my surprise, Elena put me on the third floor.
04:44Alpha Ashford let her handle it.
04:46As a lesson to Felix, he didn't acknowledge the boy's resentment at all.
04:50Felix spent the next few days quiet as a mouse,
04:52not daring to show his temper to anyone in the Ashford pack house.
04:56Instead, he took it out on the servant from before.
04:58When Felix stuck out his foot, the servant stumbled and scalding soup spilled down his front,
05:03then looked at the ruined table and burst into tears begging Elena for forgiveness.
05:07Felix stood over him.
05:08Can't even carry a bull without falling.
05:10When Alpha Ashford gets home, I'm having you thrown out.
05:14You tripped him, Elena said flatly.
05:16I'm looking out for you.
05:18You can't keep someone that clumsy around.
05:22Felix, this is my home.
05:24Stop acting like you own it.
05:26I helped the servant up.
05:27Felix pointed at me and laughed.
05:28Low-rank wolves stick together, huh?
05:31Feeling sorry for your own kind?
05:32He's here to work, not to be your punching bag.
05:35Every wolf in this pack bleeds the same.
05:38You'd do well to remember that.
05:39From the corner of the room came a quiet sob.
05:41Even Elena looked at me differently.
05:43After that,
05:44How are you two from the same place?
05:45I gave her the short version of where I'd come from.
05:48I was the same to waiter.
05:48She blinked.
05:49Then clapped me on the shoulder.
05:52Like we'd been friends for years.
05:54Whatever happens, I've got your back.
05:56Elena dined out with her family
05:57and defended an innocent servant to Alpha Ashford.
06:00He tripped the servant.
06:02He did it on purpose.
06:11Felix, this is the last time.
06:13If you can't learn how to conduct yourself,
06:15I'll send you back to the borderlands.
06:17Even now, he still believes the Ashford Pack House
06:19will eventually be his heat.
06:21Has a rotten core burning.
06:23Every advantage he has been handed.
06:26Zane, if there's anything you need, just ask.
06:29You've already been more than generous.
06:30If it's possible,
06:32I'd like you to help me find out
06:33whether my birth parents are still alive.
06:36Good kid.
06:37Leave it to me.
06:38Alpha Ashford moved fast.
06:40That same afternoon,
06:42he sent people to look into it.
06:44Once your broken birth parents show up,
06:46you'll be out of this house so fast.
06:49Within days,
06:50even the dogs in the yard
06:52barked whenever he walked past.
06:56The servants, on the other hand,
06:58went out of their way for me,
07:01always making sure
07:02I had the best of everything.
07:05I've worked for this family for over 20 years.
07:08I've never met anyone like your brother.
07:15You, I don't live my shit!
07:16Why do you get to live like this
07:17when I'm stuck with nothing?
07:19You, Ida Time,
07:21Mistral and Demi One,
07:22you get in the brace.
07:23I looked at him for a long moment,
07:25then sighed.
07:26In my past life,
07:27I'd been the one swallowing humiliation
07:29and forcing smiles just to get through each day.
07:31That is exactly why I couldn't let myself
07:33lose my basic dignity,
07:34just because things were finally going well.
07:36Felix would never understand that.
07:42Please take good care of them.
07:43Alpha Ashford enrolled us in the PAC Academy.
07:46Students here were from noble bloodlines,
07:49full of innate authority.
07:51My brother has no real education.
07:54Please be patient with him.
07:58All the subjects I once dreamed of learning,
08:01Bart and Norma never allowed me to study.
08:03I finished only basic schooling
08:05before they made me farm.
08:06Years of bending over fields wore my body out.
08:08Now sitting in a real classroom with real teachers,
08:11I could hardly hold back my excitement.
08:13I ignored mockery
08:14and focused on the intense training schedule
08:16I'd long dreamed of.
08:17I asked for private tutors
08:19and studied from dawn till dark
08:21and teachers began to notice me.
08:23Felix had other intentions.
08:24Noble students disdained bullying
08:26but accepted flatterers like him.
08:28You're in Ryder's way.
08:33Low rank is low rank.
08:34No instincts at all.
08:37Low rank?
08:38Every wolf in this PAC bleeds the same.
08:41What makes you think any of us were born beneath the others?
08:49Zane's right.
08:50We're all equal here.
08:52Watch your mouth stray.
08:55But...
08:55But you said before that...
09:03Ryder?
09:13After that,
09:14the way people looked at me changed.
09:16I found my footing in the class.
09:19On the surface at least.
09:21Everyone got along well enough.
09:22A few of the younger heirs invited me out.
09:25Alpha Ashford was pleased
09:27and handed me a PAC resource card without blinking.
09:30You've done exceptionally well, Zane.
09:32Take this PAC resource card.
09:34Go make some real friends.
09:35Have fun tonight.
09:37Thank you, Alpha.
09:38I appreciate it.
09:42What about me?
09:44That's not fair.
09:45Why does he get everything?
09:48It's entirely fair.
09:50Stop chasing things that don't matter, Felix.
09:52Do you think anyone respects you for acting like a fool?
09:55He still wanted Felix to turn it around.
09:57But Felix just didn't understand.
10:00what was being offered.
10:01When I arrived at the high-ranking Wolves social hall that night,
10:04Felix was already there,
10:06hunched over,
10:07pouring drinks for a group of classmates.
10:09He had that grin on.
10:11The eager,
10:12tail-wagging kind.
10:14Doesn't he look just like a dog right now?
10:16Look at his tail wagging!
10:19Everyone laughed.
10:20Felix laughed too,
10:21because he had to.
10:22Yeah, yeah, whatever you say, guys.
10:24Just keeping the glasses full.
10:26Hey, Zane, over here.
10:28Here.
10:29You.
10:30Pour a drink for your brother.
10:35You got a problem?
10:38I tell you to do something,
10:40you do it.
10:42Or you leave.
10:47Don't get worked up,
10:48it's bad for you.
10:49Lay off the drinks, too.
10:50Oh, sure.
10:51Now you're giving me orders?
10:54Then something cold hit me from the side.
10:56A second later,
10:57it crashed down over Ryder's head.
10:59Ice-cold liquor soaked him completely.
11:03What the?
11:09Felix curled on the floor,
11:11clutching his head.
11:14Ryder, I was trying to help you.
11:16It was an accident.
11:17Brother, brother, help me.
11:21You're actually an idiot.
11:22You can't tell a joke from an insult.
11:24The club manager had seen worse.
11:27Brother,
11:28you're just going to let them do this to me?
11:32I picked up a bottle.
11:34Ryder lounged back
11:35and watched with half-lidded eyes.
11:36Felix's eyes were cold.
11:38I knew you'd help me, brother.
11:39I knew it.
11:44I knew you'd help me, brother.
11:46I knew it.
11:47I didn't plan to help him.
11:49I wanted everyone to witness his humiliation.
11:51I dragged him out of the private room
11:53to the center of the hall.
11:56I picked up a liquor bottle
11:57and walked back to him.
12:02The alcohol hit the wound.
12:04Felix screamed and rolled across the floor.
12:08Good news.
12:10Alcohol disinfects.
12:12You'll thank me later.
12:13The room erupted.
12:15Ryder collapsed sideways on the sofa,
12:17laughing so hard he couldn't breathe.
12:20Stop.
12:21You've been drinking.
12:23Laughing that hard is bad for your heart.
12:26Everyone looked at us
12:27like they'd just seen something impossible.
12:28Ryder was the most powerful young heir in his pack.
12:32No one in that room came close to his bloodline.
12:34He'd never once in his life
12:36had someone grab him by the collar.
12:37I did it because I didn't want anything from him.
12:40I just treated him like a person.
12:42But Ryder liked that.
12:43The friendship grew from there.
12:46Yeah, fine.
12:47You're such a pain.
12:49You know that?
12:50After Felix was taken,
12:51I hung around with the others for a while,
12:54then stepped out for air.
12:58I'd just come out of the restroom
12:59when I heard it,
13:00a door slamming,
13:02and then a muffled, desperate sound from nearby.
13:06No, please.
13:08Everyone here was from a powerful pack.
13:10I told myself not to get involved.
13:15Then I caught a glimpse of the girl's face.
13:18She was screaming without sound,
13:20fighting with everything she had.
13:22But two men had her pinned.
13:25A pressure,
13:26dense,
13:27and suffocating,
13:28that made it impossible to breathe.
13:30Something in my head was screaming,
13:32go now,
13:34or you will regret this for the rest of your life.
13:36But my conscience said no.
13:39My body was already moving.
13:43I hit the door shoulder first,
13:44and it flew open.
13:46Two men,
13:46reeking of alcohol,
13:47were tearing at the girl's clothing.
13:49I grabbed the first thing I could find in the swamp.
13:54I looked at the girl.
13:56Who do you think you are?
13:57You're not walking out of here.
13:59Run.
14:00She bolted,
14:00screaming for help as she went.
14:04I locked myself around one man's legs,
14:06to keep him from following.
14:08The other one was living.
14:13We shifted into our werewolf forms.
14:17Thankfully,
14:18all those hours of training at the academy
14:20had not gone to waste.
14:22I rolled,
14:23got upright,
14:24and drove my fist into his eye.
14:26He shrieked.
14:27His rhythm collapsed.
14:28They went down fast.
14:29I slid down the wall
14:30and sat on the floor,
14:31hand pressed to my face.
14:32The hallkeeper went white as paper
14:34when he saw them on the ground.
14:39He told me they were from
14:40two powerful packs in the area.
14:42We looked at each other
14:43and smiled without humor.
14:45Eat something good tonight, kid.
14:47The girl had been shaken badly.
14:48Her family came for her quickly.
14:50No one felt like staying after that.
14:52I sent Ryder a message
14:53and headed back to the Ashford pack house.
14:55I told Alpha Ashford everything.
14:58If they come for me,
14:59hand me over.
15:01Don't protect me.
15:05After all this time,
15:07you still don't think of us as family?
15:09I did think of them as family.
15:10That is exactly why I felt sick
15:12about what I'd done without thinking.
15:13If Liam and Eric's families
15:15joined to Forthers,
15:16they could hurt the Ashford pack.
15:18You're still a kid.
15:20Let the adults handle this.
15:22Patch him up.
15:23Alpha Ashford shut down my argument
15:25and handed me to the servants.
15:26Elena found me sitting quietly
15:28and touched my arm.
15:29Dad has thought of you
15:30as his own for a long time now.
15:33I looked at my hands.
15:34The calluses had almost faded.
15:35The Ashford's had taken good care of me.
15:37Everyone here is good,
15:38I said.
15:39Elena hid her face in her hands,
15:41shoulders shaking with silent laughter.
15:43Just as I'd expected.
15:44Liam and Eric's families
15:45came to the Ashford pack house
15:47demanding I be handed over.
15:49Just an adopted boy.
15:51Surely you're not sentimental,
15:53Alpha Ashford?
15:55Zane acted impulsively.
15:57I'll bring him to make things right personally.
15:59Go home for now.
16:06The Ashford pack's reach is limited.
16:09Don't make a choice you can't undo.
16:12Elena had told me the full picture by then.
16:14Liam and Eric's families
16:15had been bound by bloodline alliances
16:17for generations.
16:18If they came at the Ashford's together,
16:20it would be bad.
16:21I was about to step forward
16:22when several black vehicles
16:24pulled up to the gate.
16:25That is,
16:26the Stormcrest pack crest.
16:28Every face in the courtyard went rigid
16:29when they saw the crest on the doors.
16:31That was the crest of the Alpha King.
16:33The tall man laughed.
16:35The Ashford's managed to offend
16:36the Stormcrest pack too?
16:38You're already dead.
16:39Alpha Ashford's face had gone gray.
16:41The entire pack held its breath.
16:43A servant opened the rear door.
16:45A man in a dark suit stepped out.
16:47He wasn't loud.
16:47He didn't need to be.
16:48The weight of him filled the whole courtyard
16:50without him saying a word.
16:51His sharp eyes swept the space
16:53and stopped on me.
16:54We came to thank someone personally.
16:57We are grateful to the young man
16:59who saved our daughter.
17:00Liam and Eric's people crumpled
17:02where they stood suddenly.
17:04That girl.
17:07She's the Alpha King's daughter?
17:09What came through made them go pale.
17:11Summono from their pack
17:12came rushing in with bad news.
17:13Alpha King Gerald
17:14has declared a pack sanction against us.
17:16Our territories are being seized.
17:17Our pack members are being stripped
17:19of their standings.
17:19It's over.
17:20We have nothing left.
17:21In a single night,
17:22Alpha King Gerald
17:23had stripped both families
17:24of their territories,
17:25their pack standings,
17:26and every wolf who answered to them.
17:28Nothing was left.
17:29Alpha King Gerald came in person
17:30to speak with Alpha Ashford
17:32about an alliance.
17:33The Ashford pack
17:34entered the top circle
17:35of the territory's power structure
17:36overnight.
17:37I'd always felt a strange pull
17:38whenever the Stormcrest pack
17:39was mentioned.
17:40I thought of the girl
17:41and asked carefully,
17:43Is your daughter doing better?
17:48Much better.
17:49She's mentioned you.
17:50Come visit the Stormcrest pack house
17:52sometime.
17:53The girl kept the Stormcrest
17:55T. Ashford Alliance secret.
17:58Felix was discharged
17:59from the pack healer.
18:00End of term assessments came.
18:02I placed first in the year
18:03by more than 20 points.
18:07He had to have cheated!
18:09Someone who could barely read
18:10when he enrolls?
18:11First place after three months?
18:13Impossible!
18:15The class shifted.
18:16Eyes landed on me
18:18with skepticism.
18:19The room went quiet.
18:20But the looks
18:21didn't fully go away.
18:22Are you saying my friend cheated?
18:30If no one believes it,
18:31we test again.
18:34They brought me
18:35to the instructor's hall.
18:36Under the eyes of every teacher
18:38and every recording crystal
18:39in the room.
18:40Combat tracking,
18:40archery,
18:41mounted patrol.
18:41The instructors kept adding tests
18:43and passed them all.
18:45When the results
18:46were posted again,
18:47no one had anything
18:48left to say.
18:58The academy's standards
19:00for instructors
19:00were strict.
19:02High compensation,
19:03zero tolerance
19:04for private favors,
19:05any violation meant
19:06permanent removal,
19:07and a substantial pack
19:08resource penalty.
19:09Every teacher
19:10and every student
19:10in that hall
19:11was bribed?
19:12You're saying
19:13we have no integrity?
19:14The academy leadership
19:15recorded a formal violation
19:17against Felix
19:17for disrupting pack order
19:20and suspended him
19:21for two weeks.
19:22Felix's behavior
19:23had started to embarrass
19:24the Ashfords publicly.
19:25One evening at dinner,
19:27he looked at Felix
19:28without warmth.
19:29When you come of age,
19:30you'll leave this house.
19:34He cried like something dying,
19:36loud enough to rattle
19:37the windows.
19:40One more chance.
19:42Please,
19:43I swear I'll stop.
19:45Leave now
19:46or leave after graduation.
19:49Choose.
19:51Felix went completely silent.
19:54In the days that followed,
19:56he tried to salvage his image
19:57by stealing the servant's duties
19:59and cleaning the house himself.
20:02He even attempted to cook
20:03and nearly burned
20:04the kitchen down.
20:11sister,
20:12try some.
20:13It's really good.
20:15Elena's brow furrowed tight.
20:17Her lips pressed together.
20:20Come on,
20:21eat it before it gets cold.
20:23I'd had enough.
20:24Who could eat that?
20:27Zane,
20:29food is precious.
20:31You've forgotten
20:32what our life
20:33used to be like.
20:36You're right.
20:38We can't waste food.
20:40What are your food?
20:42I clutched him.
20:43I stuffed the food
20:44into his mouth.
20:49Didn't you say
20:50food was precious
20:51and now you're
20:52throwing it up?
20:53What a hypocrite.
20:54Felix,
20:55stay out of my sight.
20:57Looking at you
20:58turns my stomach.
20:59Afterward,
21:01Alpha Ashford
21:01called me and Elena
21:02into his Alpha office.
21:04I want to name you
21:05as the next Alpha
21:06of the Ashford pack.
21:11Elena,
21:12go get a healer.
21:16Dad's completely serious.
21:19But
21:19you're his only daughter.
21:22I don't have
21:23the instincts for it.
21:25Dad considered
21:26bringing in a mate,
21:27but
21:27he was afraid
21:28of someone coming in
21:29just to take everything.
21:36Zane,
21:37will you be my son?
21:38Alpha Ashford's eyes
21:39were steady.
21:40His body was wound tight.
21:42I looked at the document
21:43for a long moment.
21:44Aren't you afraid
21:44I'll turn on you
21:45and Elena
21:45after I inherit?
21:48I've never once
21:49regretted it
21:49a decision I made
21:50with a clear head.
21:51He put his hand
21:52on my shoulder
21:53and passed the weight
21:54to me.
21:55From the day
21:55I accepted,
21:57Alpha Ashford
21:57had me in his office
21:58constantly.
21:59Pack leadership,
22:00territory strategy,
22:02how to read an Alpha.
22:03He brought me
22:04to major Alpha summits.
22:06When I could name
22:06every Alpha present
22:07in their pack standing,
22:09he'd nod once.
22:10I looked around the hall
22:11and spotted riders
22:12surrounded by people.
22:20Change your name
22:21to Ashford yet?
22:23More or less.
22:27This Alpha summit
22:28wasn't open
22:29to just anyone.
22:30Only pack heads
22:31and their chosen heirs
22:32could walk through
22:33that door.
22:35Young Master Zane,
22:37Alpha King Gerald
22:37requests your presence.
22:41Go.
22:43That's a good thing.
22:44The moment I stepped in,
22:45every family present
22:46understood what
22:47Alpha Ashford was saying.
22:49What lies ahead
22:49waiting for me?
22:51I followed the attendant
22:52through a corridor.
22:54He is waiting
22:55for you inside, sir.
23:03Both of them
23:04looked up.
23:05Sit.
23:07You are an honored
23:08guest here today.
23:11A full spread of food
23:13had been laid out.
23:20It's been a while.
23:23You saved me that night
23:24and I never thanked you properly.
23:26I'm sorry
23:27for being so late.
23:29It was nothing.
23:30I just did
23:31what anyone would do.
23:32The girl went back
23:34to her seat.
23:35The girl talked
23:36through the entire meal.
23:37Light, easy, rapid.
23:40Oh, did you try
23:41this roasted venison?
23:42It's really the best.
23:43And you guessed.
23:45I have to agree.
23:46I always thought
23:47the old families
23:48had a hundred rules
23:49for everything.
23:50Like,
23:52no talking during meal.
23:53Alpha King Gerald
23:54made a low sound.
23:55With the elders,
23:56sure.
23:57Those old wolves
23:58loved their dusty rituals
24:00and endless rule.
24:01He just talked
24:02about the council elders
24:03like that.
24:03And I was supposed
24:04to sit here calmly.
24:08I wish I could just
24:09disappear into the floor
24:10right now.
24:14I hear you've been
24:16looking for your birth
24:16parents.
24:18That got my full
24:19attention.
24:19Immediately.
24:25Years ago,
24:26there was a brutal,
24:28bloody succession
24:29conflict inside the
24:30Stormcrest pack.
24:35during that conflict,
24:37I lost my son.
24:44The Wolf King
24:45slowly lifted his eyes
24:46and fixed a heavy gaze
24:47on me.
24:48My heart pounded wildly
24:49and I broke out
24:50in a cold sweat
24:50all over.
24:51An unbelievable thought
24:52took root in my heart.
24:53You are my son.
25:00I don't know what
25:01you're talking about.
25:02That can't be right.
25:03You must have made a mistake.
25:05There's no way.
25:12You two are fraternal
25:13twins.
25:15You've always had
25:16a connection.
25:17A bond that distance
25:18and time could never
25:19break.
25:21Think about it.
25:22She suddenly felt
25:23the irrational pull
25:24to go to that
25:25high-ranking Wolf
25:26Social Hall that night.
25:27And you
25:28had to do your saver.
25:31Everyone in there
25:33came from
25:33extreme power
25:34and wealth
25:35you were just
25:36the Ashford boy.
25:37What made you run
25:38in there without
25:39thinking of the
25:39consequences?
25:42Old memories
25:43flooded in
25:44blurring my vision.
25:48Brother.
25:54I'm here.
25:56I'll protect you.
25:57Don't be scared
25:58anymore.
26:04A formal Stormcrest Pack
26:06ritual bond document.
26:07There is no doubt.
26:09You're my son.
26:10The true heir of the Stormcrest.
26:18The Wolf King Gerald gave me
26:20the whole night to calm
26:21my emotions
26:22and come to terms
26:23with the truth.
26:24He ordered his men
26:25to drive me back
26:26to the Ashford Manor.
26:27Thinking for a long time
26:29and finally made up
26:30my mind.
26:31Is Elena in her room?
26:32I need to speak with her
26:33right now.
26:34Young Master,
26:35Miss Elena said she
26:35wasn't feeling well
26:36and went to bed early.
26:37She asked not to be
26:38disturbed.
26:39All right, thank you.
26:39I'll just check on her
26:40quickly.
26:45Elena hasn't fallen asleep.
26:48Something is completely
26:49wrong.
26:49A struggle.
26:50Elena,
26:51if you're not feeling well
26:52get some rest.
26:53I'll talk to you tomorrow.
26:54Learn to read animal
26:55movements just to survive.
26:57I've dodged deadly danger
26:58dozens of times
26:59by feeling footsteps
27:00through the cold ground.
27:03One kick.
27:04The lock gave.
27:08Elena was unconscious
27:09on the bed.
27:14Felix's hand
27:15was at her collar.
27:19The moment the door
27:20burst open,
27:21Felix looked up
27:22in utter panic,
27:23his eyes filled with terror.
27:33Brother, I'm sorry!
27:35He screamed in pain,
27:37bleeding from the mouth
27:37and losing several teeth.
27:39Your right hand.
27:41That's the one, isn't it?
27:42I snapped his arm clean off
27:43with a harsh crunch
27:44of shattering drugs
27:45ringing out.
27:45The old servants of the manor
27:47had served the family
27:48for over ten years.
27:49Seeing me drag Felix
27:50out of Elena's room,
27:51they instantly understood everything.
27:53Help me!
27:55Somebody please!
27:56Help me!
28:01Keep him breathing.
28:02Leave the rest
28:03for Alpha Ashford
28:03to decide.
28:04Lock the house down.
28:05No one leaves.
28:06While Elena was still unconscious,
28:08I told the maids
28:08to tend to her quietly.
28:10If she asks,
28:10tell her she got sick.
28:11Don't say a word about Felix
28:12or you'll answer to me.
28:14The servants
28:15had never seen me
28:16so cold and ruthless.
28:17Alpha Ashford
28:18returned weary
28:19from his long journey
28:20and summit.
28:22How is Elena?
28:24She's fine.
28:25He didn't get the chance.
28:27The thought of the perilous scene
28:28just now filled me
28:29with lingering fear.
28:30Alpha Ashford
28:31flew into a towering rage.
28:32I want him dead.
28:39I spoke softly
28:41to soothe him,
28:42gradually calming
28:42his raging fury.
28:44You did well, Zane.
28:46I mean that.
28:48Thank you for saving Elena.
28:55You're my father.
28:56She's my sister.
28:58Family doesn't do that.
28:59He looked at me,
29:00his eyes filled with relief
29:02and pride.
29:02I thought of my heritage
29:03as the Stormwing royal heir
29:05and told him the truth in brief.
29:07I remembered the Stormcrest pack.
29:11I finally have a son
29:12and now this?
29:13It's not a problem.
29:15I just have two fathers now.
29:17The world is full of strange twists
29:18beyond all imagination.
29:20I have two fathers
29:21who dote on me,
29:21a gentle elder sister
29:22and a younger sister
29:23bound to me by blood
29:24after a brief talk.
29:26I'm going to visit Felix.
29:28Alpha Ashford made an excuse
29:29to go visit Felix.
29:33When he returned,
29:34his clothes were stained
29:35with patches of blood.
29:36Elena's awake.
29:38His expression was icy cold,
29:40devoid of any warmth.
29:43I know one.
29:44He turned to go change his clothes.
29:50You nearly gave me a heart attack.
29:53You panicked and broke my door.
29:56You had a key, right?
30:07Felix survived in the end,
30:09chained deep beneath the ground,
30:10given only the barest necessities to live,
30:13doomed to eternal darkness.
30:15He deserved every bit of it.
30:20Bart and Norma waited endlessly
30:21for news of Felix,
30:22so they traveled all the way
30:23to the capital.
30:25Adjust the cold Lunti lay-in
30:26as every doing the go.
30:28As proceed you in the techler.
30:30You cold-blooded beast!
30:32How could you do this
30:33to your own brother?
30:34Hmph.
30:44Since you love Felix so much,
30:46you can go keep him company
30:48in the dungeon
30:49for the rest of your lives.
30:50They would share the same fate as Felix.
30:53Crippled in all four limbs,
30:55imprisoned in the dungeon for life,
30:57with no hope of freedom ever again.
31:00I was officially recorded
31:02into the bloodline genealogy
31:03of the Stormwing Royal Clan.
31:12I thought I'd ride on your coattails someday.
31:15Turns out I've been the one
31:16relying on you all along.
31:17We're meant to support each other.
31:19That's what family does.
31:23You slipped by
31:24and time flowed on.
31:25I passed all the inheritance trials
31:27of the Stormwing Royal Clan
31:28and was officially named
31:30the next Supreme Wolf King.
31:34Elena and I grew deeply attached
31:36through daily companionship,
31:38naturally coming together as one.
31:39The Stormwing Royal Clan
31:40never forced political marriages.
31:42They only valued mutual affection
31:44and noble character.
31:45See?
31:46My father is still my father.
31:49You're impossible.
31:50Be careful.
31:51Don't forget,
31:52we have an unborn child to think about.
31:56We have an unborn child to think about.
