00:03my faded mate sold our daughter to a monster i found her locked in a cell 16 years old naked
00:09on
00:09a wooden plank arms black with burnt scars eyes fixed on the ceiling as if her mind had already
00:14fled her body her nipples were ripped off the smell coming from between her legs told me enough
00:19without anyone saying a word when i reached for her she pressed herself into the wall don't touch
00:25me my own daughter didn't know my face couldn't stand my touch and every single person who let
00:32this happen the alpha air the luna and the high alpha himself they all knew they knew and not one
00:38of them lifted a hand to stop it they thought i was a weak mother they forgot who i was
00:43i'm the war alpha
00:46at the gates of the royal stronghold i finally came home a decade ago i left my six-year-old
00:52daughter behind and marched to war to preserve the peace of our pack now after all that time i was
00:57back my eyes swept through the crowd searching for her in my memory aurora was still soft and warm
01:03smelling like honeysuckle and warm milk every morning her small chubby fists would grab fistfuls
01:09of my hair she should have been 16 now my chest ached at the thought of holding her again high
01:15alpha aldrich stood on the platform with the pack council waiting for me the greyholt family stood
01:20behind him my mate dominic his mother helena his sister margo all of them were dressed like this
01:28was some grand celebration i studied every face my wolf paced hard inside me something was wrong
01:34aurora wasn't there everyone else had come everyone but my daughter aldrich started his welcome speech
01:41i cut him off where's my daughter his smile locked in place then i caught it that flicker in his
01:48eyes
01:48then i caught it that flicker in his eyes my stomach dropped i'd spent 10 years reading enemy faces on
01:55battlefields i knew what guilt looked like watch your tongue raven a you're in the presence of the high
02:00alpha now show some respect dominic snapped dominic my faded mate i kept our mate bond intact for aurora
02:08so she could grow up with her father the year aurora was born he brought his chosen mate into my
02:14pack
02:14his own cousin vivian gave him a daughter too celeste i swallowed all of it for my daughter i endured
02:22every
02:22humiliation every betrayal i gave that man my lands my warriors and even my pride everything and people
02:30in this kingdom still thought one word from him would tame me i asked you a question dominic
02:34where is my daughter he opened his mouth ready to put me in my place and then a woman came
02:41crashing
02:42out of the crowd there was dried blood all over her arms and streaked down her neck
02:46luna praise the moon you're back please they're killing her you have to save aurora
02:55nettie was aurora's caretaker i chose her myself because the first time she held aurora my baby fell
03:01asleep in less than five minutes she was the gentlest she-wolf i had ever met now the woman
03:06in front of me was skin and bones starved down to nothing her face so badly beaten i almost didn't
03:12recognize her my wolf slammed against my ribs a growl ripped out of my throat that mutt is a traitor
03:18execute her on the spot lucy and ballcrest i was the one who arranged his match with aurora
03:24that marriage was the reason his mother is sold became the luna and the reason he became the alpha
03:29heir everything they had came from me and from my daughter and now he was standing there ordering
03:34my daughter's caretaker to die the enforcers closed in on nettie bearing their fangs
03:40touch her and i'll rip your fucking arms from their sockets she belongs to me two-thirds of this
03:45kingdom's army was the ashburn war pack my war wolves if i turned on the crown this kingdom would not
03:51survive the night everybody knew it the warriors froze i said kill her try me a pulse of power surged
04:00through the pack link two thousand wolves stepped forward as one the warriors stumbled back
04:07that's enough the boy spoke out of turn hand the woman over to ravenna she is after all our war
04:17alpha
04:17i knew exactly what he was doing using his son to test me to see whether i would still lower
04:23my head
04:23and fall in line i didn't have time for his games nettie collapsed at my feet so weak she could
04:29barely
04:29get the words out your daughter is dying she's at lord fenwick's estate if you don't go now you won't
04:38see her again go one thought kept pounding in my head my baby is dying who the hell is fenwick

04:52now the whole square went dead silent every wolf turned to look at me nettie grabbed my hand so hard
04:58her nails cut my skin she was shaking all over they remembered the woman who used to give in every
05:04time
05:04dominic spoke they were waiting to see if i'd do it again alpha kill me if you want i don't
05:10care
05:10but go now please if you wait much longer you'll never see her alive again the goddess is calling

05:25what i had
05:25always done choose dominic over my own flesh and blood ashwain wall pack to the fenwick estate
05:31anyone who stands in our way shred them to pieces dominic stepped in front of my horse
05:37ravener you can't my boot smashed into his face he hit the ground hard blood pouring out of his nose
05:45if anything happens to aurora every last one of you dies then i tore out of the square with
05:52two thousand wolves pouring behind me like a breaking wave nettie led me into the high district
05:57to a walled estate tucked behind iron gates a servant at the entrance saw her and gave a cold little
06:02laugh
06:02back again the gray holds don't give a damn about your little slut they're the ones who sent her to
06:08lord fenwick's bed he never got to finish my fist shook his jaw my wolves flooded through the estate
06:14nettie led me around to the back courtyard the place was falling apart rotted boards a door hanging
06:20crooked on its hinges before i even touched it the smell hit me rot blood something foul enough to turn
06:27the air solid i shoved the door open a girl lay on a wooden plank covered with nothing but a
06:34few
06:34filthy rags scars from glowing coals crawled across her chest both her nipples had been torn off the
06:40flesh between her legs was black and rotting her eyes were open fixed on the ceiling empty if her chest
06:47hadn't still been rising i would have thought she was already dead aurora aurora my whole body started
06:55shaking my hands shook so hard my sword slipped free and clang to the floor nettie dropped beside the bed
07:01crying so hard she could barely breathe baby your mom is here she came back she's taking you away from
07:06this nightmare please just look at her face you said you missed her remember she's right here beside you
07:13open your eyes please baby don't leave her like this aurora didn't move she didn't even blink she
07:20just stared at the ceiling like she couldn't hear a single word we said my wolf was howling the pain
07:25struck so hard that blood surged at my throat and poured from my lips i couldn't stop it every wolf
07:31outside heard it alpha general i lifted one hand every voice vanished i dropped to my knees beside the bed
07:38and reached for her face my fingers were shaking i hadn't even touched her yet when she flinched and
07:44crushed herself against the wall no no more please stay away more blood filled my mouth i forced myself
07:51to swallow it down then a voice cut across the courtyard old arrogant which of you mongrels dare trespass
07:58upon my lands the second aurora heard that voice she started shaking even harder her body jerked then
08:05she started seizing spasming all over don't touch me help mom mom help the second she called for me
08:12i answered i reached for her trying to pull her into my arms but the moment i touched her she
08:18shoved
08:18herself harder into the wall as though she meant to sink through the stone itself her empty eyes filled
08:23with tears and she stared at the door terrified netty wrap her in my furs keep her warm yeah then
08:31i picked up
08:32my sword and walked outside fenwick was out in the courtyard screaming at my wolves he had white
08:38hair a swollen gut and a cluster of young shoe wolves gathered around him dressed in little northern sheer
08:43rags he was shouting his hands roaming freely over their bodies those girls wore the same look aurora
08:49had empty hollowed out i looked at them and could almost see my daughter aurora in thin fabric aurora with
08:56his hands on her who the hell are you how dare you bring warriors onto my state do you have
09:03any idea
09:04who i am i am kin to the high alpha dominic greyholt is my blood you touch me and the
09:12entire council will
09:13have your head the grandfather of the alpha heir's mate dominic greyholt's father-in-law they knew every
09:20last one of them knew he didn't get another word out i shifted my jaws tore straight through his
09:26throat i ripped open his chest his stomach everything that held that wretched body together
09:31his guts spilled across the courtyard i shredded him until there was nothing left you could even
09:36recognize as a man just blood meat and a severed head rolling to a stop by my feet i shifted
09:42back and
09:42turned to the others gather what little you have we're going to greyholt manor i left with the girls
09:49no one else did i wrapped aurora in my war cloak and carried her outside she weighed almost nothing
09:54her heartbeat trembled against my chest faint and faltering as though it might give out at any moment
10:00we rode hard for greyholt manor my manor the gates were shut two omegas stood outside the first one
10:07raised his chin lady elena and councilman greyholt ordered you to kneel at this gate until morning
10:12for disgracing the pack's honor that girl isn't allowed inside she belongs to her mate you are not bringing
10:17her in here aurora when she was a baby they had chased aurora through the grass when she ran after
10:22butterflies they were the men who let her tug on their capes and mess up their hair the child who
10:27treated 2 000 killers like her own family and they had stood in that cell and seen what had been
10:31done
10:31to her these wolves did not cry on the battlefield now every eye behind me was red alpha just give
10:38us the
10:38word let us rip this place down for our little luna's justice surround the manor everyone inside dies
10:50the servants went white and started screaming pounding on the gates with both fists the doors
10:55hadn't even opened yet before my wolves tore their heads off i looked up at the crest greyholt manor then
11:01i drove my boot into it and cracked it clean in two i carried aurora through the gate the second
11:06i
11:06stepped inside i froze wisteria everywhere thick purple clusters hung from every post spilling over
11:13the old sparring ring the pollen hung so thick in the air it stung my eyes aurora was badly allergic
11:19to pollen one bad attack could close her throat until she couldn't breathe she almost died from it
11:24the year she was born after that i gave one order no flowers anywhere on this estate anyone who disobeyed
11:31would die i pulled my cloak tighter around aurora covering her mouth and nose and moved fast under the
11:36trellis if aurora breathed this in she could die they know that how the hell could they do this
11:41living in my house eating my food wearing my jewelry and planting the very thing that could
11:47kill my daughter inside her own home cut it all down every lost piece my wolves moved at once
11:53halt lay a finger on these blues and you'll answer to my brother the scream came from across the
11:59courtyard margot greyholt dominic's sister she stormed toward us gary carved into every line of her face
12:06dominic built this garden for his true mate this garden cost him a fortune in gold don't you dare ruin
12:12it his chosen mate to make that woman happy dominic filled my estate with the one thing that could kill
12:18my daughter margot saw aurora in my arms and instantly pressed a handkerchief over her nose the disgust in her
12:24face like my daughter was a rotting piece of trash mother and my brother were perfectly clear
12:29that brat is banned from these grounds she belongs to fenwick now even if she dies over there that has
12:37nothing to do with us you need to get on your knees and apologize to the alpha here she poisoned
12:42the here
12:43and salelta then ran off with her lover his grace showed mercy by not punishing her but if it were
12:49up to
12:49me i would have beaten her to death and fed her body to the rogues i slapped her she crashed
12:54to the
12:55ground blood and two teeth scattering across the stone you hit me when lucian finds out i drove my
13:03foot into her chest she flew backward and slammed into one of the trellis posts blood burst out of her
13:08mouth and for the first time fear crawled into her eyes i planted my boot on her chest and looked
13:14down at
13:14her this is ashburn manor i was a damn fool for ever letting your family move in aurora's pollen
13:20allergy can kill her everyone in this house knows that your brother planted a whole garden for his
13:25chosen mate my daughter could die and he didn't care i left aurora with all of you every one of
13:31you
13:31swore before the moon goddess that you would protect her you broke that oath now i'm collecting
13:37she clawed at my boot nearly choking she wheezed please it wasn't my choice you held me you bathed
13:46me remember i'm your girl your little margo you can't kill me you loved me once please something
13:54twisted hard in my chest on one thing she wasn't lying i did raise her after helena gave birth she
14:02was
14:02too weak to care for the baby i fed margo bathed her held her when she cried she was one
14:08year older
14:08than aurora the two of them had grown up side by side aurora used to follow her everywhere always
14:14pressing her finest treasures into her hands calling her mar in that small soft voice and
14:19margo stood there and watched them destroy her i fed you from my own hand i loved you as my
14:25own blood
14:25and in return you helped them slaughter my child then i put all my weight down one last time
14:32crack her begging stopped one hand was still clutching my boot her eyes stayed open even after
14:38she stopped breathing i looked at her for one second that face i had watched grow up then i stepped
14:44away
14:44a scream tore across the courtyard
14:51it was helena dominic's mother she was here too right then aurora moved in nettie's arms her voice
14:58drifted across mom i went straight to her nettie had my war cloak wrapped tight around her aurora's eyes
15:05were open still empty but this time she was looking at me i knelt beside her i was so close
15:13but i could
15:13barely smell anything on her just the faintest trace of honeysuckle so faint i almost thought i
15:19imagined it there was no time to think about that helena threw herself over margo's body
15:25margo my margo her screams ripped through the yard then she lifted her head and looked at me
15:32ravena you rat you killed her i will see you rot in the abyss i will bury you and that
15:39little rock in
15:40the same filth as my daughter inside aurora heard helena's voice she pressed herself into nettie's
15:46arms and began to murmur lost in some waking nightmare grandmother please i didn't steal them
15:53i just wanted my mother the letters were for her only for her my blood ran cold grandma the pond
16:00is so
16:00cold there's ice on it i didn't push my sister in the alpha here i walked in on them together

16:16mother's chamber grandma i don't have a lover it's a setup it's not like what they said you can't make
16:22me hurt the whip was soaked in salt water i stood there listening as aurora begged through one horror
16:27after another and my legs almost gave out under me what the hell had they done to her all these
16:32years raveena go to hell helena shrieked rushing at me with a dagger i twisted aside and kicked helena
16:40to the ground she clawed her way back up spitting blood glaring at me like i wronged her you dare
16:45defy me you dare strike your matriarch i am your mate's mother you ungrateful cur you should die to
16:52pay for margaret's life i'm the only reason you were allowed to keep the gray hill name otherwise

17:02inside again raw and terrified mom save me i'm so scared of grandma it hurts i don't want to die
17:10mom you can't die either she was terrified terrified i would do what i had always done before

17:36and neither am i the people who hurt you your father your grandmother even the one sitting last one
17:43of them pay helena was still screaming i handed rora back to netty then i walked toward her
17:51i wrenched the dagger from her grip and drew it across her throat deep enough to steal her voice
17:56not deep enough to end her life helena's eyes flew wide she clutched at her bleeding throat and made
18:02these wet when i accepted dominic you were a withered she-wolf too frail to even nurse your own pup
18:07so i raised marget i was the one who put meat in her mouth i kept your bloodline alive i
18:13raised both
18:14of you as my own the year i went to war you cried and swore you would protect aurora you
18:21swore it before
18:21the moon goddess and how did you repay my mercy you beat her with switches you held her down in
18:29ice
18:29water you whipped her with leather soaked in salt you did that to a six-year-old child the rage
18:35in
18:35helena's eyes finally cracked fear rushed in killing you would be too easy i loosened my grip on her
18:41clothes she crumpled to the ground i turned to my war wolves from this moment on helena greyholt is
18:48cast out of the pack sever her pack link strike her name from the pack rolls she is no longer
18:55under
18:55greyholt protection from this second on she is a rogue i felt her presence in the pack link snap
19:02like a thread the pain hit her a hundred times harder than anything i could have done by hand
19:07her mouth opened no sound came out fear flooded her face real fear send word to every pack no pack
19:16large or small is allowed to shelter helena greyholt if any pack dares grant her shadow or salt
19:22they will face the full fury of two thousand aspirin blades helena lay there on the ground
19:28blood and tears all over her face she wasn't afraid of dying she was afraid of what came after this
19:34becoming nothing no pack no one answered her call alive but alone until the day she died i never looked
19:44at her again i sent wolves to the manor storehouse for herbs aurora needed treatment now but when my
19:50warriors came back they brought back nothing the servants dropped to their knees i looked around
19:55once and before i could even speak one of them blurted it out celeste is about to give birth dominic
20:01and
20:01vivian took every bit of herbs from the manor and brought it to the alpha hare stronghold aurora clutched
20:07my hand mom it hurts so much this is your manor why won't you give me anything for the pain
20:14the storehouse is full of salves and herbs mom i'm so cold i don't want the goddess to take me
20:21if i'm gone who will be left to love you those remedies were mine i had spent my whole life
20:27collecting the best herbs and treatments i could find better than what they kept in the high alpha's
20:31moon hall and my daughter lay rotting without so much as a poultice while dominic and vivian stripped
20:37my stores bare for celeste all warriors to the alpha hare stronghold dominic vivian celesta
20:46every last one of you was going to die today i tried to settle aurora onto the blankets inside
20:52the carriage the second i moved she grabbed my hand again mom don't leave me don't leave me
20:58i'm so scared please so i held her and hummed softly the way i used to when she was small
21:05gradually the shaking eased she leaned into me the carriage reached the alpha air stronghold
21:11alpha there's an army outside the estate the one leading them is general garrick whitmore
21:17garrick whitmore a legendary general the kind people spoke about the same way they spoke about my father
21:23he commanded one third of the kingdom's army i carried aurora out of the carriage garrick stood
21:28across from me white haired back straight as a blade ashburn's child this should be a good day
21:34you came home victorious listen go home had it been anyone else standing in my path they would
21:41already be dead but general whitmore once saved my father's life so i walked toward him with aurora in
21:47my arms his warriors tensed as one my warwolves braced at my back then aurora moved she turned to look
21:55at garrick and held out a hand to him bearing her face and arms she was deathly pale fresh wounds
22:02crossed over old ones silver burns had branded themselves into the skin alongside the lash marks
22:07grandpa whitmore her voice was worn to nothing whitmore stared at her i'm aurora
22:15ravena's daughter the day mom left for war you held me and watched her go you told me my mom
22:23was a
22:23guardian that because of her everyone else got to live in peace you said you would look after me for
22:31her aurora coughed blood ran from the corner of her mouth garrick's face changed this is aurora
22:41how did this happen the greyholt family told me she was fine they said she found someone she loved
22:46the high alpha and the alpha here told me they had let let the matter go that she left on
22:50her own
22:51how did she end up like this they lied to me and they lied to you grandpa whitmore i never
22:59had a
22:59lover i caught them celeste and the alpha hair rotting like beasts in my mother's own bed my father and
23:06the high alpha they tried to break me they demanded i sign away my honor for their sins
23:11but i am my mother's daughter i would not bow so they sold me to that monster fenwick
23:18if i hadn't been waiting for mom to come back i would have died at that estate already grandpa
23:24whitmore if you don't believe me celeste is giving birth today she hasn't even been mated to the alpha
23:31heel for six moon cycles how could she be having a full grown pup that hit me all at once
23:38aurora had
23:39been locked in fenwick's cell how did she know celeste was giving birth today how did she know
23:44when their mate bond was made i didn't have time to think it through garrick had already sent people
23:49to check they came back fast and leaned into whisper in his ear his face darkened then darker
23:55then his whole body started shaking those faithless crows why the hell would the high alpha lie to me
24:02they told me lord fenwick's land was restitution for the alpha heir and celeste because aurora had
24:06destroyed their bond so this is the truth fine i'll deal with the high alpha i'm gonna ask him to
24:12his face why he lied to us i need to ask that bastard dominic why he did this to my
24:16daughter for
24:1710 straight years garrick was silent for a few seconds then he ordered his warriors to clear the way
24:23spare the pup if you can't give me an answer then whatever you choose to do after that
24:28i won't stop you this kingdom was built by the ashburn family you're the one who's been holding
24:34it together no man not even the high alpha shall treat an ashburn like a dog then he turned and
24:39marched off with his warriors
24:44i walked into the alpha heir's stronghold and heard screaming coming from the birthing room
24:48two people were standing outside the door dominic and vivian they were both staring at the entrance
24:54neither of them saw me i stepped up behind dominic and pressed my dagger into his lower back
25:00his body went rigid but his voice stayed the same as ever cold arrogant like he still thought he owned
25:06the air around him ravena put the weapon down this is the alpha hares stronghold not some place for
25:12your insolence vivian turned around the second she saw me tears flooded down her face ravena what's
25:20wrong is this because dominic came with me to be here for seleta's labor instead of waiting for you
25:26back at the manor it's my fault don't blame him celeste is the alpha hares mate she's carrying his
25:31first pup i was scared something might go wrong so i asked dominic to come with me if you need
25:36someone
25:37to blame let it be me please don't let this hurt your bond i hadn't even opened my mouth yet
25:42and
25:42somehow she had already turned herself into the victim i remembered the year she moved in back then
25:48i still loved dominic she was always like this crying without making a sound letting dominic think
25:54i was the one hurting her we fought over her so many times and every fight shaved away another piece
26:00of what i felt for him if you have a grudge take it out on me leave vivian out of
26:04this he still
26:05couldn't turn around the dagger in his back made sure of that dominic i only have one question why
26:12did you do this to aurora why did you hand her over to lord fenwick the gray help pack never
26:17mistreated
26:17aurora lord fenwick was personally appointed by the high alpha aurora wronged celesta first she cheated
26:25dragged the gray hole name through the dirt and disgraced this family she climbed into lord fenwick's
26:30bed all on her own that was her choice vivian sniffled softly beside him celesta is about to
26:37give birth you humiliated the alpha hair at the city gates today for celesta for her child and to
26:42give the alpha hair an explanation i need you to sever our mate bond willingly vivian will become my only
26:49mate don't worry i won't cast you out of the pack you can stay vivian is not like you she
26:55knows how to
26:56behave she doesn't make everything difficult since you're already here go tell the high alpha you're
27:03agreeing to sever the bond voluntarily aurora moved in my arms vivian jumped raven are you out of your
27:10mind you actually brought aurora here she drugged celesta and the alpha here the alpha healed hates
27:15her bringing her here is the same as sending her to die i drove the dagger into dominic's stomach
27:22he stopped in the middle of the sentence then he looked down at the blade buried in him ravenate
27:29you're actually dead why vivian threw herself onto him her face flushing red ravenate what are you
27:36doing do you think celeste stole aurora's place do you think we drove aurora away even if we'd wanted
27:42to we never would have dared touch her go ask anyone at the manor what kind of life celeste and
27:47i had all
27:48these years under aurora's rule dominic pulled her behind him shielding her with his body then looked
27:54at aurora with open disgust tell your mother the truth your mother protects this kingdom how could
28:00she give birth to something as vicious as you and you're still lying right to our faces
