00:24Why is my baby missing her face?
00:30My eyes are empty, hollow. I stare at the carnage and my heart shatters. I've lived this moment before. In
00:36my previous life, the rogues attacked during Lola's birthday. My husband, the pack Alpha, took every warrior to the ridge
00:43so his true love could watch the Starfall ceremony. He said I was paranoid, jealous, a bitter Luna who couldn't
00:50accept that he loved someone else. I begged them to return. I screamed through the mind link until my throat
00:56bled. They came back to corpses.
01:00But Lola wandered into the woods, sulking because Cade kept checking the mind link during her special night. The rogues
01:06found her, dragged her screaming into the darkness. By the time we arrived, nothing remained but her left fever. My
01:13feet next.
01:14He threw me into a rogue feeding pit and healed me, over and over, letting them tear chunks from my
01:21flesh while the mate Bond forced me to feel his hatred burning like acid through my chest.
01:26You killed her. So you must be suffering more than she was.
01:31I died on day seven. I woke on the day when the rogues launched the attack. The howling hits me
01:37first, not through the mind link that's filtered, controlled. This is raw. A thousand feral throats shrieking hunger across the
01:45mountains. I'm out of bed before conscious thought.
01:48My bare feet slap stone as I sprint toward the control room. The stronghold is three stories of timber and
01:55reinforced steel, built to withstand siege. I grab the mic, hands shaking.
02:00All pack members, this is Luna Selina. Massive rogue surge from the northern pass. Get to the panic room. Now!
02:08I slam the alarm. Red lights flood the corridors. Doors open. Footsteps thunder. Outside, someone screams. I grab the emergency
02:17rifle. Silver bullets, blessed by our shaman, and run.
02:21The courtyard is chaos. Mothers clutching cubs. Elders stumbling. The air reeks of fierce sweat, and the rot stench of
02:29rogues.
02:30Three crash through the east fence. They used to be wolves. Now they're things. Fur matted with dried blood and
02:37filth. Eyes milky white. Jaws unhinged, hanging at grotesque angles.
02:42They don't hunt for territory. I shove him toward the panic room. A reinforced bunker built into the ground.
02:49Get inside!
02:50More rogues pour through. I shoot until the clip runs dry, then shift. Bones crack. Fur erupts. My wolf is
02:59smaller than the males, but faster.
03:01I slam into a rogue mid-leap, jaws closing around its rotten throat. The taste is rancid decay. I rip
03:08and spit and move.
03:09Someone yanks a child from snapping teeth. Someone else seals the hatch. The heavy locks clang shut. Silence.
03:17I shift back. Naked and trembling. Blood. Mine. Bears. Drips down my ribs. We're in the panic room. Concrete walls.
03:25Air filtration. Supplies for two weeks.
03:28But the wards are failing. I feel it. The electric hum that usually surrounds the strongholds is stuttering. Dying.
03:35Luna, you have to mind-link the Alpha.
03:38Mary, an Omega whose son is four, grabs my wrist. Her hands shake.
03:43Tell him to come back. Tell him to activate the wards.
03:46I close my eyes. The cruel truth breaks my heart. Yet I cannot lie.
03:52He can't. Alpha Kade took every warrior to Starfall Ridge. He's protecting Lola during the ceremony.
03:59Ceremony, are you serious?
04:00The room erupts.
04:02He left us just to die for some lights!
04:04She's not even his real mate!
04:06Bang. The steel door buckles. Metal shrieks. Bang.
04:10Another hit.
04:11These rogues are stronger. Evolved.
04:14We have minutes.
04:16I look at Elder Martha. Kade's mother.
04:18Former Luna.
04:1973 with silver hair and a wolf that can still kill.
04:22She meets my eyes.
04:24The silver wards.
04:25If we activate the backup grid, it'll fry everything within a hundred yards.
04:29Hope flickers across faces.
04:30Martha pulls out the Alpha Emergency Comm.
04:33Satellite link that bypasses Mind Link.
04:35She dials.
04:36The line clicks.
04:37Kade's voice is annoyed.
04:39Distracted.
04:40In the background, music. Laughter.
04:42Mom?
04:43Kinda busy!
04:44Martha's jaw clenches.
04:46Kade!
04:47The stronghold-
04:48Kade laughs.
04:49Mom, seriously?
04:50The grid pulls power from the-
04:52We're 30 minutes from peak display.
04:54I can't shut it down.
04:55His tone shifts.
04:57Suspicious.
04:58Is Selina there?
04:59Did she put you up to this?
05:01Martha's hand shakes.
05:03Your Luna just saved 20!
05:06My Luna is jealous.
05:07She's been pulling this for months.
05:10Lola's dangerous.
05:11Rogues are coming.
05:12It's pathetic.
05:14He scoffs.
05:15Tell Selina if she keeps trying to ruin Lola's night, they'll-
05:18I-
05:18Samuel, former beta, slumps against the wall.
05:21We're going to die.
05:23For a light show.
05:24Service tunnel.
05:26Runs from here to the old mining roads.
05:28Then she looks at me.
05:29Her eyes burn.
05:31Six miles through rogue territory to Silver Plane Base.
05:35They have warriors.
05:36You and I go.
05:38We shift and run.
05:40The door slits.
05:41A rotting claw shoves through.
05:43Claws scrape metal.
05:45A pup was frightened and he started crying.
05:48Martha doesn't flinch.
05:49We leave in 60 seconds.
05:51Barricade after we're gone.
05:52She doesn't finish the sentence.
05:54She doesn't have to.
05:55I nod.
05:56Because if we don't make it, hope flickers in my chest as Martha speaks.
06:01Wait for me.
06:01She says, slipping through the side door.
06:04One hour later, the panic room door tears open.
06:06A rotting arm readgear rushes through the side entrance.
06:10Martha.
06:11Did you bring the warriors back?
06:13She is covered in blood.
06:14Barricade that gap!
06:15I rush to steady her.
06:17Martha's voice shakes.
06:19That bastard.
06:20She is trembling with rage.
06:21Cade set up blockades on every path.
06:24Every single one.
06:26All to make sure no one could interrupt Lola's precious birthday fireworks.
06:30Her eyes are bloodshot.
06:32The room goes silent.
06:33Cold dread creeps up my spine.
06:35I stumble backward.
06:36He blocked even his own mother.
06:38I forced myself upright.
06:40We can't just sit here and die.
06:42Desperate to grasp at one last lifeline, I frantically adjusted the frequency, broadcasting
06:48our slaughter to every nearby pack channel.
06:50Begging, pleading for aid.
06:52Yet, the response left me frozen.
06:55They coldly informed me that, an hour earlier, Alpha Cade had personally warned them that someone
07:00in our pack would file false distress calls, ordering them to ignore all requests tonight.
07:05The indifference was suffocating.
07:07They even explicitly stated that Cade had targeted Martha, insisting they would not respond unless
07:13Elder Martha herself appeared in person to request aid.
07:16Go in person, through miles of territory infested with rogues.
07:20It was pure suicide.
07:21The gap in the door was buckling under the pressure.
07:24The shadow of death hanging over us all.
07:26I took a deep breath, steadied Martha, and said with iron resolve,
07:30Mom, I'm coming with you.
07:31My voice cold as ice.
07:33Everyone's counting on us.
07:35If we break through, there's still a chance.
07:38Martha looked at me for a long moment.
07:41Finally, she nodded slowly.
07:44Two hours later, I half-carry Martha through the darkness.
07:47Her left arm was torn off by a rogue, fresh blood still streams from the wound.
07:52Over this mountain, we're almost there.
07:54From halfway up the slope, we see the outline of Silver Pine Base.
07:58Hope sparks in our chests.
08:00Then, a firework shell explodes directly in front of us.
08:04The blast wave throws us backward like ragdolls.
08:06Martha's blood was splattered on my face.
08:09I look up, dazed.
08:10Through the smoke, I see Cade with his arm around Lola.
08:14Then his voice booms through the ridge's speaker system, dripping with mockery.
08:18Selena, I knew it.
08:20You realized your lies wouldn't make me cancel the party, so now you're trying to force your way through?
08:24His voice turns ice cold.
08:25I knew you'd try to sabotage Lola's birthday.
08:28I won't let you succeed.
08:30The bombardment intensifies.
08:33Mom, tell him it's you!
08:36Connie!
08:38The ridge falls silent for a heartbeat.
08:40Then Cade's laughter echoes, crueler, louder.
08:43Selena, you're really committed to this act.
08:45First you had my mom lie over the comm, now you hired an actress?
08:48My mother has two arms.
08:51But the actress has only one.
08:52Stop trying to fool me.
08:53I am your mother!
08:55Can't you even recognize my voice?
08:58Cade hesitates.
09:02Lola immediately tugs his sleeve.
09:04Her voice dripping false hurt.
09:06Cade, I know Saloma hates me.
09:09Maybe we should just cancel tonight.
09:10Go back.
09:12It's okay.
09:13I'm used to being treated like this.
09:15Cade's face hardens.
09:17He pulls her close.
09:19Continue.
09:20More shells rain down.
09:23Our path is sealed.
09:26The moon rises higher.
09:30Martha grabs my shoulders.
09:33There's no time.
09:35I'll distract them.
09:36You run.
09:36Get that rescue back here.
09:38Everyone's counting on you!
09:40She shoves me away and limps toward the peak.
09:43I try to grab her.
09:45Mom!
09:46They don't recognize you!
09:48You'll die!
09:50Cade's voice cuts through the air again.
09:52Selene!
09:55If you're willing to throw your life away to ruin Lola's party, I'll grant your wish.
10:01He hoists a rocket launcher onto his shoulder.
10:04Aims directly at him.
10:06The massive shell screams through the air.
10:09Selene, are down!
10:10Martha throws herself on top.
10:12Her broken body shields mine.
10:14Boom!
10:14The explosion tears through my eardrums.
10:16Hot blood sprays my face.
10:18Martha's body collapses onto mine.
10:20Her back has been obliterated.
10:21A gaping hole where her spine should be.
10:24Blood pours like a river.
10:25My hands shake as I touch her.
10:27Warmth.
10:27Sticky warmth everywhere.
10:29I shake her gently.
10:30No response.
10:31I scream.
10:32The rogues will smell the blood and come for you too.
10:37Several warriors witness this.
10:39Unease flickers across their faces.
10:43That didn't look fake.
10:45What if the stronghold really is under attack?
10:48What if she's telling the truth?
10:49The alpha would know if something was wrong.
10:51She's obviously staging this because she's jealous of Lola.
10:54Her jealousy is terrifying.
10:55But what if...
10:56What if something did happen?
10:58Our families are all down there.
10:59We're all down there!
11:00Shut up!
11:01Alpha Cade would never gamble with our family's lives.
11:04The squad leader barks at them to shut up.
11:09Then several warriors dragged me like a traitor to the ridge under Cade's orders.
11:13Not one part of my body is unbroken.
11:16Blood and mud mixed together.
11:20Lola approaches with a pitiful expression.
11:23Selene.
11:25You're bleeding so much.
11:27Let me barnage you, okay?
11:29She reaches for me.
11:32Don't touch me!
11:34I slap her hand away hard enough to make her stumble.
11:38Selene!
11:39Lola's trying to help you despite everything.
11:41And this is how you treat her kindness?
11:43She stomps on my broken finger.
11:45Looks like you need a lesson.
11:47You never learn.
11:48Agony rips through me.
11:50I convulse on the ground.
11:51But I don't care about myself.
11:53The people in the panic room are still waiting for me to save them.
11:56I lock eyes with Cade.
11:59The panic room is about to fall.
12:01Every minute you waste,
12:02another person dies.
12:04Can't you hear the rocks down there?
12:06Lola immediately bursts into tears.
12:08Cade, it's all my fault.
12:10I shouldn't have had a birthday.
12:12I shouldn't even exist.
12:14Cade pulls her into his arms protectively.
12:17Selene, how long are you going to keep this up?
12:20The stronghold has the most advanced defense system.
12:25Every elite warrior is here guarding you and Lola.
12:29The Silverwoods have no power because you diverted it to the mountain.
12:34Cade, you're going to regret this.
12:37Alpha Cade, should we send someone to check?
12:40You don't know her.
12:41Making up lies.
12:42She's always been jealous of Lola.
12:43This isn't the first time.
12:46Right, last time she claimed Lola pushed her down the stairs.
12:51Tie her to that tree.
12:53Let her reflect.
12:58Desperate to grasp at one last lifeline,
13:00I frantically adjusted the frequency,
13:03broadcasting our slaughter to every nearby pack channel,
13:06begging, pleading for aid.
13:08Yet, the response left me frozen.
13:10They coldly informed me that,
13:12an hour earlier,
13:14Alpha Cade had personally warned them
13:15that someone in our pack would file false distress calls,
13:18ordering them to ignore all requests tonight.
13:21The indifference was suffocating.
13:23They even explicitly stated that Cade had targeted Martha,
13:27insisting they would not respond
13:28unless Elder Martha herself appeared in person to request aid.
13:31Go in person,
13:33through miles of territory infested with rogues.
13:35It was pure suicide.
13:37The gap in the door was buckling under the pressure.
13:39The shadow of death hanging over us all.
13:42I took a deep breath,
13:43steadied Martha,
13:44and said with iron resolve,
13:45Mom, I'm coming with you.
13:47My voice cold as ice.
13:48Everyone's counting on us.
13:50If we break through,
13:51there's still a chance.
13:54Martha looked at me for a long moment.
13:57Finally, she nodded.
13:58Inside the stronghold,
13:59the security door hangs twisted and broken.
14:02Blood pools like water,
14:03dismembered limbs,
14:04shredded clothing,
14:05scattered organs,
14:06all mixed together.
14:07Rogues feast greedily on the corpses,
14:10making sickening chewing sounds.
14:11Ugh.
14:12I can't hold it in.
14:13I bend over and wretch.
14:15Tears stream uncontrollably.
14:17We were still too late.
14:18I gave everything,
14:20and still couldn't save them.
14:21Let's go inside.
14:24Kira!
14:25Kira!
14:26Mom!
14:27Mom, where are you?
14:34Mirvi,
14:35the young warrior,
14:36finds his mother.
14:41Alpha Cade!
14:43Look!
14:44Look at my mother!
14:45Her eyes are still open!
14:49Why?
14:50Tell me why!
14:52We all heard Selene call you back.
14:54Why didn't you come?
14:55Why did you pull all of us to the rich
14:58for a few fireworks?
15:00Are you even human spi-
15:02I saved them.
15:03Where's my mother?
15:05Selene?
15:06Where is she?
15:09You have the nerve to ask about Mom?
15:12Mom's dead.
15:14You killed her yourself
15:16with that rocket launcher.
15:19Cade!
15:21Mom's corpse is at the bottom
15:22of that cliff feeding vultures.
15:24It was you!
15:25You killed her!
15:31No!
15:37I know I shouldn't say this now,
15:39but it's just too strange.
15:41Everyone think about it.
15:43Selene patrols the outer perimeter
15:44alone all the time,
15:45claiming she's tracking rogue movements.
15:48The broadcast center's alarm system?
15:50She's in charge of that too.
15:55She knows so much
15:56about rogue activity.
15:58So why today,
16:00my birthday specifically?
16:01Unless someone deliberately
16:03led them into the stronghold?
16:06Selene, it's because years ago
16:08Cade chose to save me
16:09instead of your father.
16:10You're jealous.
16:11You hate me.
16:12So you pick my birthday specifically
16:14to frame Cade and me.
16:16You intentionally let the rogues in.
16:18You're lying!
16:19Enough!
16:21Selene!
16:23I never imagined
16:25you could be so vicious
16:26other afterward,
16:27but I was too late!
16:29That's haunted me ever since.
16:31I felt I owed you,
16:32so I've spent years
16:33trying to make it up to you,
16:34but I never expected
16:35you'd harbor this much hatred.
16:37To get revenge,
16:38you picked this moment,
16:39used hundreds of lives
16:41to frame Lola and me.
16:42What kind of monster are you?
16:45I stand there,
16:46reeling from their words.
16:47I don't know where to begin.
16:49He surveys the stunned warriors,
16:51voice filled with righteous pain.
16:53Inside the stronghold,
16:55the security door hangs twisted and broken.
16:57Blood pools like water,
16:58dismembered limbs,
16:59shredded clothing,
17:01scattered organs,
17:02all mixed together.
17:03Rogues feast greedily on the corpses,
17:05making sickening chewing sounds.
17:07Ugh!
17:07I can't hold it in.
17:09I bend over and wretch.
17:10Tears stream uncontrollably.
17:12We were still too late.
17:13I gave everything
17:15and still couldn't save them.
17:16Let's go inside.
17:19Kira!
17:20Kira!
17:21Mom!
17:22Mom, where are you?
17:29Near me,
17:30the young warrior finds his mother.
17:37More terrifying than before,
17:39the rogues we drove back are returning.
17:41Their speed is horrifying.
17:43How do they have strength to attack again?
17:47They've,
17:47they've evolved.
17:48These beasts devoured too many lives.
17:51Their power multiplied.
17:53Everyone,
17:53defensive positions!
17:54Warriors raise weapons
17:55against the surging rogue wave.
17:57One breaks through the defensive line.
17:59Howling as it lunges for Lola,
18:01she shoves Kay directly into the rogue's path.
18:04The rogue's jaws clamp onto his entire left arm.
18:07Blood sprays.
18:08He collapses,
18:09screaming,
18:10but still stares at Lola.
18:12Help!
18:13Save me!
18:14Pull me off!
18:15Kade,
18:16you said you'd always protect me.
18:18Remember?
18:19You abandoned Moon's father to save me.
18:22You'll save me this time too, right?
18:25Lola!
18:28You're the alpha.
18:30Protecting everyone is your responsibility.
18:32Now you're injured and bleeding.
18:34Perfect to distract the robes.
18:35Give everyone time to escape.
18:38So you should stay here.
18:41You.
18:42In the chaos,
18:44someone pulls me behind a hidden boulder.
18:46I look up.
18:47It is the young warrior who questioned Kade earlier.
18:50Luna, Serena.
18:51Hide.
18:52Create the silver wards!
18:53That's our last hope!
18:55Hope flickers in his eyes.
18:57Yes.
18:58The wards.
19:00They rush to the control room,
19:02only to discover crushing truth.
19:04Report!
19:04The ward power has been completely diverted
19:07to the Ridge Firework equipment.
19:09There's nothing left!
19:10What?
19:13This is what we deserve!
19:15We throw away our lives for one woman's birthday!
19:18Hidden behind the raw,
19:20I watch.
19:20My heart tears.
19:21In the face of disaster,
19:23humans are so small,
19:24so pitiful.
19:25But even so,
19:26we can never surrender to fate.
19:27As a rogue lunges for the young warrior,
19:29I charge out without hesitation,
19:31using my broken body to shield him
19:33from the killing blow.
19:35Less talk.
19:35Move.
19:36Then helicopter blades thunder overhead.
19:39Three helicopters marked.
19:41HQ special forces hover above.
19:43Command rescue all survivors.
19:45Move to extraction points.
19:49And throws them at her feet.
19:51Lola,
19:52traitor to your own pack.
19:54What do you have to say?
19:56What makes you think you deserve rescue?
20:05That's right!
20:06It was me!
20:08All of it!
20:09Selene,
20:10why were you always the brightest one?
20:12Why did everyone always notice you?
20:14Even the man I love became your mate!
20:17I wanted to destroy you!
20:19Destroy everything!
20:21So I sabotaged the defenses!
20:23I let the rogues in!
20:26You.
20:27Because of jealousy?
20:29You killed everyone!
20:31All pack members of the ethnic group were innocent!
20:34They did nothing wrong!
20:36Kay,
20:37do you think you're innocent?
20:39If you'd come back,
20:40would they have died?
20:41Especially your inconvenient mother.
20:44If you hadn't ordered the attack,
20:46would she be dead?
20:47You killed her with your own hands.
20:52Stop!
20:53I didn't!
20:56Your mother called your name as she died.
20:59But you?
21:00You didn't recognize her.
21:01Then you ordered her body thrown off a cliff to feed vultures!
21:05At that moment,
21:06Howling erupts behind Lola.
21:08Help me!
21:10Help me!
21:12Save me.
21:12Who's going to save the people you murdered?
21:16They watch coldly as rogues swarm her,
21:18tearing her body apart.
21:22The older warrior who mocked me earlier
21:24suddenly drops to his knees with a heavy thud.
21:26Luna Selma, we were wrong!
21:29His voice is hoarse, choked with regret.
21:31We'd believed you!
21:33If we hadn't followed Kayda's madness,
21:35our families would be alive!
21:37Other warriors kneel.
21:39Sobs fill the air.
21:40We're sorry.
21:41It's our fault!
21:43We believe that bitch's lies!
21:45You were so injured but still saved us.
21:47We're beyond redemption.
21:49As I am about to speak,
21:51Cade staggers to his feet.
21:53Where is my mother?
21:55Where is Martha?
21:56Forgot already.
21:58You personally ordered her body thrown off the cliff to feed vultures.
22:02No.
22:04Impossible.
22:06Mom's alive.
22:08Martha!
22:10Where are you?
22:12He stumbles toward the perimeter.
22:14Then, rogues from the outer zone catch his scent.
22:16Cade reaches toward empty air,
22:18oblivious to approaching death.
22:20A deranged smile crosses his face.
22:22Mom, I see you.
22:24Rogues tear at his limbs.
22:25Blood soaps his clothes.
22:27I shouldn't have trusted Lola.
22:29Ignored Selene.
22:30Doubted you.
22:31Everyone.
22:32I killed them all.
22:33I killed every member.
22:34Stay in the territory.
22:36The once mighty Alpha ends his life like this.
22:38Luna, Selima.
22:40We should go.
22:41I nod.
22:42Looking toward the cliff,
22:44Martha's body still lies there.
22:46Take the wounded first.
22:48I have one more thing to do.
22:52Her aged face still holds her final worry.
22:56I gently wipe blood from her face.
22:59Mom.
23:00We're going home.
23:06One month later,
23:08reconstruction begins showing progress.
23:10On a bright morning,
23:11we hold a grand funeral for all who died.
23:14I carve a headstone myself.
23:15We choose the highest hill,
23:17overlooking the entire stronghold.
23:18Elder Martha,
23:20beloved mother,
23:21rests here forever,
23:22guarding this land.
