00:08you're wet a deep masculine voice right next to my ear low dangerous it made my stomach clench
00:16my head was fuzzy three scents wrapped around me familiar and not one cold against my lips
00:24one burning at my waist one rough between my thighs their hands their mouths i couldn't stop
00:31trembling three golden bonds coiled tight around our wrists so hot they burned three wolf shadows
00:37tangled on the wall above us i jolted awake gasping cold sweat ran down my temple my back was soaked
00:47through my name is freya ashwood orphan omega nobody i don't remember my parents don't remember
00:59where i came from omegas like me were fair game in the pack the ones everyone mocked nobody noticed
01:05but i had kylan my mate the new alpha of the pack
01:16strong loyal everything i'd ever hoped for tomorrow at his coronation he was going to propose to me in
01:23front of the whole pack and name me his luna
01:33my heart was racing just thinking about it i picked up the laced reya box i'd spent weeks preparing
01:40today i would finally become his luna
01:45at the ceremony i tucked the box against my side and kept my eyes locked on kylan
01:55he stood on the stage in full ceremonial dress my alpha my future his father announced him as the new
02:03alpha
02:10kieran took the microphone my heart kicked my foot was already moving forward
02:17but his eyes slid past me straight to my adoptive sister mia mia ashwood my sister i understood
02:24everything in a single second this was a setup it had always been a setup the whole hall burst into
02:30laughter every alpha every beta every omega who'd ever looked down on me now feasting on my humiliation
02:36something inside me snapped i ran up the steps and grabbed keban by the collar screaming
02:43he shoved me off like garbage then he looked me dead in the eye and said the words that would
02:50end him the golden bond between us snapped with a sickening crack in the chaos my lingerie box fell
02:57the lace spilled across the floor my handwritten love note fluttered out and the pack my pack
03:03picked them up passing them around laughing i begged for them back all i got was more laughter
03:09i grabbed a shard of broken glass off the floor climbed to my feet and dragged it across kieran's
03:13face he struck me down with one swing my head hit the marble and then in front of the entire
03:18pack
03:18he publicly sentenced me to the werewolf information school congratulations little sister there are
03:25three alphas at that place alex is the worst of them a monster an absolute devil
03:44when i opened my eyes again i was standing at the gates of the lycan reform academy a roar of
03:49voices
03:49a crowd surging toward the training grounds screams everywhere i was swept along with them
03:56shoved all the way to the front before i could fight it
04:02in the center of the arena a man was tied to a wooden board lined with small blades
04:07blood everywhere still breathing three massive werewolves stride slowly forward
04:13their fur glistens brightly exuding an overpowering commanding aura
04:18in an instant a burst of harsh light flares up and they shift from beast to human all at once
04:25revealing
04:26stunning almost impossibly perfect physiques
04:33leading them is alex broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted his sharp cold features carry a menacing edge
04:40an eye patch covers his eyes and a violent dangerous awarma clings to him warning everyone to stay away
04:46right beside him is griffin his rich burgundy shirt hangs open wide putting his defined six pad on
04:52full display bold and devilishly charming he always wears a teasing playful smirk on his lips
04:58on the far side stands jasper holding a crisp white shirt in his hand he has a gentle pure aura
05:02with
05:03soft relaxed features like a quiet elegant gentleman bathed in moonlight he is the only one of the three
05:07who seems entirely harmless wait the demons mia warned me about the three men from my dreams
05:13alex pulled a knife from his belt and flicked it it whistled past the bound man's ear and buried
05:20itself in the wood the crowd erupted in cheer something inside me broke open every moment of the
05:27ceremony came rushing back kieran's face mia's whisper the laughter i stopped thinking i ran out into the
05:36center of the ring and planted myself in front of the bound man screaming up at alex
05:45a blade whistled past my ear so close it grazed my lobe and buried itself in the board right between
05:51the bound man's legs one inch higher and it would have ended him alex was already walking toward me
05:56slow predatory the crowd stared at me like i was insane i forced myself to meet his eyes through the
06:05blindfold tried to keep my breathing steady it only made him angrier he closed the distance i thought
06:11i was dead then jaster caught his arm i stepped back on instinct and hit something warm a chest
06:20griffins he tipped my chima up with one finger and smirked down at me all three of them all three
06:26men
06:27from my dreams who the hell are you my name is freya ashwith
06:41what the fuck are you
06:46alex's fingers tightened around my neck his eyes burned before i could answer he turned away and
06:50spit a mouthful of blood onto the ground his face was white as death i stumbled back lungs heaving one
06:55word in my head run i didn't stop until my back hit a cold stone wall only then did i
07:00let myself
07:01breathe that dream the faces the bonds all three of them the same three men from my bed at night
07:07how could any of it be real mates three mates a wolf couldn't have three mates it wasn't possible
07:16i was losing my mind i forced my feet to move toward the dormitory the only place that was mine
07:22i pushed the door open and a hand sped out of the dark and yanked me inside my back slammed
07:27against
07:27the wood i looked up into alex's blood red eyes his breath was scorching he didn't give me a second
07:33to speak his mouth crashed down on mine hard devouring like he was trying to break me open
07:39and crawl inside i shoved him off with everything i had and he let me he just stood there chest
07:45heaving
07:45his eyes were still red but underneath the violence i saw something else pain he was fighting something i
07:51couldn't see i looked down the three golden bonds on my wrist were wriggling burning gold a horrible
07:58thought crossed my mind you're in rut aren't you the words lit him up like a match he slammed my
08:07wrists
08:07above my head his other hand locking around my waist his palm burned through my dress his lips grazed
08:12down my throat biting tasting possessive and every touch turned my knees to water i mustered the last
08:17of my strength and slapped him across the face he froze stared at me the red in his eyes flickered
08:21and
08:22under it i saw raw desire and rar self-hatred but his alpha scent kept rolling off him thick overwhelming
08:27pulling me under i knew if i stayed one more second i was going down with him i tore out
08:32of that room on
08:32shaking legs and fled into the hall griffin and jasper were standing there frozen their eyes locked on
08:39mine pure shock on both their faces
08:45deep in the night i lay there staring at the ceiling
08:57i threw off my jacket stripped down to my tank top and padded out to the kitchen for ice water
09:02jasper's voice comes from behind i jumped my foot flipped on something soft his towel and i stumbled
09:07back bare skin against bare skin his chest was right behind me warm solid damp my face went
09:12scarret he caught me gently retied his towel and rested a calming hand on my shoulder and that's
09:17when my wrist lit up the golden bond between me and jasper shimmered softly into view the air changed
09:22a soft smile on his face he said something had gotten in my eye lifting my wrist and bringing his
09:27face close to mine the living room door slammed open griffin walked in saw us froze mid-step
09:35the playful smirk dropped off his face why do you always run the second you see me sweetheart

09:57my whole body was wired my heart would not slow down i reached for the vibrator in my drawer a
10:03soft
10:04moan slipped out of me and then i froze all three of them were on my bed alex jasper griffin

10:19but i can't take all three of you at once
10:28and my body traitor that it was screamed yes
10:36i was on fire their scents filled every inch of the room until i couldn't tell one from another
10:42jasper jasper gentle gentle jasper was the first to move his lips traced up the inside of my thigh
10:47cool and precise every kiss sent a fresh shiver through me griffin wasn't gentle at all his mouth
10:52went straight to my chest teeth tongue hot breath fanning across my skin he wanted me trapped in his
10:58heat and alex leaned over me and swallowed every sound i tried to make his kiss was punishment
11:02ownership mine his mouth told me mine mine mine
11:08three different heats
11:10three different kinds of hunger
11:12i stopped fighting
11:14my eyes went glassy
11:16my body gave up all its weight to them
11:19the three golden bonds flared on my wrist
11:21braided together now
11:23white hot
11:23binding the four of us like fate itself had reached down and tied the knot
11:27i bolted up raid in bed
11:29soaped in cold sweat
11:31alone
11:32the golden bonds on my wrist still pulsed softly with echoes of what wasn't real
11:38heat curled low in my belly
11:40unease right next to it
11:42i needed a shower
11:43i needed to wash them off me
11:45i needed to think
11:47the second i stepped in the bathroom a cough tore through me
11:50i tasted copper
11:51blood hit the white porcelain sink
11:53bright
11:53shockling
11:54wrong
11:55and then a voice soft powerful full of light spoke behind me
11:59i looked up into the mirror
12:00a woman in white stood behind me
12:02glowing faintly her face full of quiet sorrow
12:04the moon goddess
12:05my child
12:06you must sever two of the bonds and complete the mating with your true fated mate
12:10otherwise you will die
12:15damn
12:16which one am i supposed to pick
12:18alex
12:19you want me that bad
12:20i went rigid
12:21blood hammered up into my face
12:23slowly slowly i turned around
12:25alex
12:26fresh out of the shower
12:27bare chest
12:29water tracking down every ridge of muscle
12:31black boxer briefs
12:32nothing else
12:33the scent of alpha poured off him in waves
12:35he walked toward me
12:36one step
12:37another
12:38caged me against the wall
12:40i could feel his breath on my mouth
12:42i squeezed my eyes shut
12:43and he laughed
12:44a short remarking breath
12:45the humiliation hit like a fist
12:47without thinking i snapped at him every cruel thing i could think of
12:50his head dropped
12:51and for half a second i saw something in his eyes i wasn't expecting
12:54pain
12:55raw and real
12:56he warned me to stay away from him
13:01the training hall stank of sweat and testosterone
13:03wolves everywhere
13:04sparring
13:05shouting
13:05showing off
13:06and then the instructor called my name
13:08paired with alex
13:09every head in the room turned to stare
13:11curious
13:12mocking
13:13i bawled my hands into fists
13:15ignored all of them
13:16and walked straight up to the coldest man in the room
13:19i knew he'd turn me down
13:20but i never expected him to grab my wrist harshly
13:23slam me hard onto the mat
13:25then walk away without a single shred of mercy
13:28i lay there on the mat
13:29my chest full of a bitter ugly ache
13:31this was my fated mate
13:32this man
13:33a shadow fell over me
13:35warm
13:35gentle
13:36i looked up into jasper's soft eyes
13:38his hand was outstretched
13:39he saw the way my ankle was already starting to swell
13:42something passed across his face
13:44worried he couldn't quite hide
13:45before i could speak
13:47he bent down
13:47slid one arm under my knees
13:49the other behind my back
13:50and lifted me clean off the floor
13:52i noticed the girl who's always hanging around jasper
13:54glaring at me with pure malice
13:56as jasper carried me toward the infirmary
13:58something made me glance back
14:00alex was in the far corner
14:02half hidden in shadow
14:03his eyes were blood red
14:05he was looking at me like he wanted to tear me apart
14:07wanted to take a bite and keep it
14:09i shrunk against jasper's chest
14:11but even through the crowd
14:12i could feel alex's gaze
14:14cold and unblinking
14:15still pinned on me
14:16what a strange terrifying man
14:18i had to stay away from him
14:20jasper sat me down carefully on the bed
14:22knelt on one knee
14:23and started cleaning the swelling
14:2618 years of life
14:27and this was the first time anyone had ever been that gentle with me
14:31his breathing got heavier
14:32his eyes lingered on my ankle
14:34longer than they should have
14:35then
14:36just lightly
14:37he squeezed
14:38a tingling heat spread through my whole body
14:41under your skin
14:44shit
14:46i can actually feel you
14:47don't be scared
14:50that girl who's always watching you
14:54are you two together
14:55thea
14:56no
14:57my wolf only wants
14:59one thing
15:00my fated mate
15:02a reckless dangerous thought blossomed in my chest
15:05what if jasper is my fated mate
15:09i drifted out of the infirmary in a fog
15:11jasper's words kept cycling in my head
15:13my wolf only wants my fated mate
15:15an engine roared behind me
15:17i turned
15:18a black sports car was barreling straight at me
15:21i couldn't move in time
15:22the bumper clipped me and i went down hard
15:25textbooks scattering across the pavement
15:27thea climbed out of the car with two of her pack friends
15:30she didn't waste time
15:31a bucket of ice water hit me square in the face
15:33the cold tore through my skin
15:35the whistles and laughter from the crowd cut deeper than the cold
15:39i scrambled up and ran
15:40didn't look where i was going
15:42just ran
15:43i slammed through a door and stumbled inside
15:45i was three steps in before i registered the urinals against the wall
15:49men's locker room
15:50i turned my back to the door
15:52shaking
15:52peeled off my soaked shirt
15:54and stood there in just my bra
15:56trying to stop shivering
15:57a low whistle behind me
15:59i whirled around
16:00griffin was leaning against the doorway
16:02arms crossed
16:03cocky grin
16:04eyes all over me
16:05get out you pervert
16:08pervert?
16:09princess

16:19change
16:20now
16:30in the hallway
16:31i buttoned alex's shirt over my wet clothes
16:33it was enormous
16:34the sleeves swallowed my hands
16:35it smelled like him
16:37cold
16:37clean
16:38like mountain air
16:39a poster on the wall caught my eye
16:41couples
16:41spinning
16:42laughing
16:43dressed in silk
16:44my chest twisted
16:45someone like me
16:46rejected
16:47humiliated
16:48an omega nobody wanted
16:49how could i ever belong on a dance floor like that?
16:52two girls walked past
16:53whispering loudly enough for me to catch every word
16:56each word hit like a punch
16:57my eyes stung
16:58i ducked my head
16:59pulled alex's shirt tighter around me
17:01and ran
17:01away from the poster
17:03away from their voices
17:04away from everyone
17:05a stray dog
17:06that's what i was
17:07with nowhere to go
17:12when i got back to the dorm
17:13jasper was waiting in the living room
17:15a bouquet in his hand
17:16a tailored suit
17:17a smile like crushed spring light
17:20he held the flowers out to me
17:21i took them with both hands
17:23the scent rose up and made my breath catch
17:25my heart was doing something stupid
17:27it would be my honor if you'd be my partner at the dance next friday
17:33i've loved you for a very long time fria
17:36since we were children
17:38so
17:39will you be my partner?
17:46don't be in such a rush princess
17:48you've got more than one mate remember?
18:01what are you doing here?
18:02you're in my way
18:03he turned around and went back up the stairs
18:05closed his door
18:07like he didn't care at all
18:09griffin shoved his invitation into my hand
18:10and grabbed my arm
18:12jasper stepped between us immediately
18:13shielding me from him
18:14i took a long breath and looked at both of them
18:17but i already knew
18:18only one of them had ever been gentle with me
18:21only one of them had ever saved me without asking for anything
18:24only one of them had given me an actual memory of being loved
18:27i hold out griffin's invitation and hand it back
18:30then accept jasper's offer instead
18:32griffin growls in pure fury and storms out
18:34slamming the door
18:35i stood in the empty living room
18:37my chest ached in a slow dull way
18:39was it the bonds?
18:41or did i actually feel something for the others too?
18:43the thought took hold like a weed
18:45the invitation alex had in his hand that he never gave me
18:48the way griffin had stormed out
18:50guilt pressed down on me from both sides
18:52but then i looked at jasper's clear open face
18:54and i reminded myself
18:56freya
18:56you swore you'd never pick another chyren
18:58jasper is the opposite of chyren
19:00this is the right choice
19:01right?
19:04the night of the dance
19:06i stood in front of the mirror a long time
19:08my best gown
19:09a little makeup
19:10a deep breath
19:12then into the glittering ballroom
19:14i scanned the crowd until i found him
19:16tall
19:17broad-shouldered
19:18that gentle energy
19:20it had to be him
19:21i gathered every ounce of courage in my body
19:24walked over
19:25and tapped his shoulder
19:27then i ducked my head
19:29cheeks burning
19:30and said it before i could chicken out
19:32i waited
19:33head down
19:34heart going a hundred miles an hour
19:35a familiar shocked voice spoke
19:37from behind me
19:38i whipped around
19:40jasper was standing there
19:41behind me
19:42then
19:43who had i just confessed to
19:45slowly
19:46slowly
19:46i turned back
19:48alex
19:49not jasper
19:50alex
19:51he let out a low
19:53dark chuckle
19:54and stepped closer
19:55his eyes pinned me in place
19:56i wanted the floor to open
19:58and swallow me
19:59my face was on fire
20:00alex grabs a glass of champagne
20:03nods briefly at jasper
20:05then turns and leaves
20:08jasper hurried over
20:09and his hand came up to smooth my hair
20:12that one small gesture cut through the humiliation
20:15tonight i told myself
20:17tonight i would find out for sure
20:20i took his hand and squeezed it
20:22hard
20:23i leaned up on my toes
20:25closed my eyes
20:26tilted my face up
20:28waited for the kiss
20:31and right as his lips brushed mine
20:33a frantic call rings out right behind him
20:36he pulled back
20:37torn
20:40apologetic
20:41whispered he'd be right back
20:43and was gone
20:44but the next second
20:46thea swarms over with her crew
20:48warning me to stay away from jasper
20:49i didn't get two seconds to recover
20:52before thea and her pack descended on me
20:54some half-hearted threat about staying away from jasper
20:57i'd had enough of her games
20:58i turned to walk away
21:01that was when she lost it
21:03her two friends grabbed my arms
21:05she pulled a lit cigarette from behind her back
21:08and brought it slowly towards my face
21:10i flinched back
21:12the cherry of the cigarette was a centimeter from my eye
21:15a silver cuff click whipped past my ear
21:17slammed into the cigarette
21:19and went straight on to graze thea's cheek
21:24i spun around
21:25alex was standing in the far corner of the ballroom
21:28he clapped his hands once
21:31lazily
21:32like he was applauding his own throw
21:34and walked away without a backward glance
21:38thea was shrieking
21:39looking for whoever had thrown it
21:41she couldn't find him
21:42so she took her rage out on me
21:45she lunged
21:46i stepped out of the way
21:48she kept going
21:49straight into a three-tiered cake
21:51face first
21:52the ballroom exploded in laughter
22:05freya is my mate
22:07no one touches her
22:11thea covered her face and fled the ballroom
22:13frosting still dripping off her hair
22:14i let out a shaky breath
22:16looked up at jasper
22:17full of gratitude
22:18the music swelled
22:19i put my hand in his
22:20and we moved
22:21i could have stayed in that spin forever
22:23it was warm
22:23it was safe
22:24it was everything i'd wanted my whole life
22:26then mid-turn
22:27another hand caught my wrist
22:28and pulled me off balance
22:29it fell into a different chest
22:31hotter
22:32more aggressive
22:33griffin
22:33he locked an arm around my waist
22:35his smile was sharp
22:37a little wounded
22:37it twisted in his grip
22:39furious
22:39tried to stome on his foot
22:41he dodged with a grin
22:42and pulled me closer
22:43his mouth grew near mine
22:44he was going to kiss me
22:45right there
22:46in front of everyone
22:47i shoved him off
22:48and stumbled backward
22:49my heel slipped on the polished floor
22:51strong arms caught me
22:52before i hit the ground
22:53a cold clean scent
22:54i knew it before i looked it up
22:59alex
23:00looking down at me with the strangest expression
23:02something complicated
23:04something almost amused
23:06the blood in my face
23:07i tried to pull away
23:08he pulled me back into his chest
23:10and held me there
23:11his eyes locking with mine
23:12i put my hands against his chest
23:14push
23:14i was going to push
23:15but i didn't
23:16he caught one of my hands
23:19brought my fingertips to his mouth
23:21pressed a slow kiss to it
23:23then ran his tongue across it
23:25just once
23:27this was alex
23:28this was alex doing this
23:30my brain went white
23:32i closed my eyes
23:33i leaned in
23:35he turned his head away and smiled
23:37shame deconated in my chest
23:39i shoved him off
23:41and ran out of the ballroom
23:42cursing him the whole way
23:43bastard
23:44fucking bastard
23:45i stormed down the corridor
23:47with my head full of fire
23:48and walked straight into a solid body
23:50i looked up
23:52and my blood turned to ice
23:55kyren
23:56well well
23:57the little omega i kicked out of my pack
24:01nice dress
24:02who are you trying to seduce tonight
24:06kyren stepped toward me
24:07closer
24:08closer
24:09his alpha pressure
24:10made my whole body shake
24:12my back hit the cold wall
24:13nowhere left to go
24:14rage and terror exploded in me at the same time
24:17i shoved him with everything i had
24:19he threw me to the ground like i weighed nothing
24:21my forehead cracked against a stone pillar
24:24blood ran down into my eyebrow
24:26he loomed over me
24:27reached down
24:29ripped the slit of my ground wide open
24:31before his hand could touch my skin
24:33blue light flared in my eyes
24:36something took over my body
24:37my fist moved without me
24:39it slammed into his face hard enough to break bone
24:42all the strength drained out of me in an instant
24:45black spots
24:46and then nothing
24:47when i woke up i was in my room
24:49the air smelled like antiseptic
24:51alex was sitting on the edge of the bed with a cotton ball
24:54carefully dabbing at the cut on my forehead
24:56his touch was unbelievably gentle
25:00nothing like the man who had pushed me off on the training mat
25:02i ask softly if he's the one who saved me
25:05he immediately snaps back with sharp harsh words to lecture me
25:08i shoved him and turned my face to the wall
25:10the air went dangerous
25:11i could feel the pressure drop in the room
25:13but he didn't come after me
25:15he just sat back down
25:16his eyes dropped to my leg
25:18and then his hand closed around my ankle
25:20the heat of his fingertips made me jump
25:22the whole room went quiet
25:23just our breathing
25:24his thumb moved slowly across my skin
25:26so gentle it was almost worse
25:28my hands fisted in the sheets
25:30he brought out a tube of salive
25:32lifted my leg with both hands
25:33and applied it around the bruise
25:35careful not to press down
25:36he was barely breathing
25:38this place is dangerous freya
25:40every year wolves die here
25:42omgas disappear
25:45i don't want it to happen to you
25:46so you came here for me
25:48alpha's saliva heals faster than medicine
25:50close your eyes
25:51i closed him
25:52his hands lifted my calf
25:54his lips pressed gently against the cut
25:57his tongue traced the sore swollen skin around it
26:01and a shock of heat ran all the way up my body
26:04i stopped breathing
26:21you're not actually that bad you know
26:26i stared into his eyes
26:28something swirled in them i couldn't name
26:30my throat closed
26:32i couldn't speak
26:33he leaned in
26:34his breath fared across my lips
26:36we were close enough to feel each other trembling
26:39the air between us was going to burn
26:41bang
26:42the door flew open
26:44griffin
26:45two ice cream cones in his hands
26:47a big stupid grin on his face
26:49the grin froze the second he saw us
26:52i panicked
26:53shoved alex away
26:54snatched the salve tube out of his hand
26:56i bolted into the bathroom and slammed the door
26:59leaned back against it
27:00my heart was trying to punch through my chest
27:03inside i sat down on the tile
27:05shaking
27:06and tried to put salm on my own leg
27:09my mind kept replaying it
27:11his mouth
27:12his eyes
27:13the tremor in his fingers
27:15the fact that i wanted him to keep going
27:17i decided on jasper
27:19i was going to sever the other two bonds
27:21so why had my body lit up at alex's touch
27:24why was i suddenly doubting everything
27:26was i
27:27falling for him
27:28no
27:29absolutely not
27:30i knew what kieran had looked like before he destroyed me
27:33cold
27:34distant
27:35impossible to reach
27:37alex was the same type
27:38my type
27:39the type i was going to die reaching for
27:41no
27:42i wanted a real relationship this time
27:44respect
27:45honesty
27:46not being played with until i broke
27:48another cough racked my chest
27:50copper in my mouth
27:51blood in the sink
27:52i looked up at the mirror
27:53pale
27:54bloody lip
27:55hollow eyes
27:57i couldn't let alex confuse me anymore
28:00i had to complete the bond with jasper
28:02soon
28:03before i died
28:07in the training hall
28:08i kept glancing toward the door
28:10waiting for jasper to come back
28:12so i could tell him what i decided
28:15thea appeared in front of me instead
28:17holding a training ball
28:18her eyes narrow
28:21she threw it at me
28:23i took it on the shoulder
28:25she threw another
28:27i took it on the ribs
28:29on the third one
28:30something in me snapped
28:32i grabbed the ball and hurled it back
28:35it hit her in the forehead
28:36and put her flat on her back
28:37blood bloomed from her hairline
28:39the whole hall went dead silent
28:40every teacher
28:41every student
28:42staring at me
28:43the instructor told jasper to take thea to the infirmary
28:45then he told me to stay after class
28:47and clean the entire training hall
28:48my punishment
28:49and freya
28:49you can stay behind and clean this entire jam
28:53i swallowed the injustice
28:55the way i'd swallowed every other injustice
28:58nobody cared about one omega's side of the story
29:02after class
29:03it was just me in the echoing empty hall
29:05dragging a mope across the floor
29:07cold condensation pressed against my cheek
29:09i looked up
29:11alex
29:14he says he'll train me personally
29:16and teach me how to control my inner power
29:18i stare at him
29:20half believe and half doubtful
29:22we squared off with wooden stahls
29:26old school
29:27bare bones combat
29:29he was an alpha
29:30and a top one
29:31his speed and strength
29:33were a different species from mine
29:34i could only fall back
29:36block
29:37stumble
29:38keep breathing
29:41but i didn't notice it at first
29:43last time we'd trained
29:44i couldn't block a single one of his strikes
29:47tonight i was holding my own for rounds at a time
29:50watching alex's figure walking toward me from afar
29:53i realized for the first time that he might not be as brutal and bloodthirsty as everyone claims
29:58he hands me a bottle of water thoughtfully and asks why i keep putting up with unfair treatment when i
30:03possess such great power
30:05truth is
30:06i never even knew i had that much strength inside me
30:09i tightened my grip on the water bottle
30:12and for the first time
30:13i told something
30:15no father
30:16no mother
30:19from the moment i had memory
30:20i was just the adopted girl in the ashwood house
30:24the ashwoods were old ridge pack nobility
30:27they didn't mistreat me
30:29they just
30:30didn't see me
30:32i existed to make mia look better
30:34even when the moon goddess picked kieran for me
30:36even when i had a mate
30:38nothing changed
30:39mia only got worse
30:41and then i got discarded
30:43and ended up here
30:46alex listened
30:47the whole time
30:48not once did his face flicker with pity or contempt
30:51just a quiet aching softness
30:54he wasn't used to comforting anyone
30:56his ears went pink
30:57when i looked at him with tears in my eyes
30:59he looked away
31:00flustered
31:03i couldn't help it
31:04i started laughing
31:06time for the next train
31:07he came at me
31:10i took a breath
31:11and swung at him hard
31:12he slipped to the side
31:14i over committed
31:15i was going to fall
31:17he spun and caught me
31:19his arm around my waist
31:20his chest against my back
31:22his breath at my neck
31:23our heart beats in the same too fast rhythm
31:26out of the corner of my eye
31:27a flash of color
31:29griffin had come in with a broom
31:30he'd stopped dead
31:32his face twisted
31:34he threw the broom down so hard it bounced
31:37turned around
31:38and stormed out of the hall
31:39that night
31:40that night
31:41i bought a milkshake
31:42his favorite flavor
31:43and stood outside alex's door
31:45working up the courage to knock
31:50aspers
31:51do you have mia's number
31:52freya's sister
31:53i want to take her out for coffee
31:55the milkshake almost slipped out of my hand
31:57all of it
31:58the training
31:59the listening
32:01the gentleness
32:02all of it was a lie
32:03he'd been getting close to me
32:05so he could get to my sister
32:06i bit down on my lip
32:08and forced the tears back
32:09threw the milkshake
32:11in the nearest trash cans
32:13i was there
32:14maybe two minutes
32:15before there was a knock
32:16i yanked the door open
32:19griffin was leaning
32:20against the frame
32:22hands in his pockets
32:23that cocky grin
32:25that always drove me insane
32:27i shoved him
32:28but he was built like a wall
32:29and i couldn't move him an inch
32:31the tears finally spilled over
32:33and i couldn't stop them
32:35don't hate
32:36don't do that
32:37come on
32:39tell me what you want
32:40and i'll get it for you
32:41anything
32:42i want someone honest
32:44someone who respects me
32:46someone who won't lie to me
32:48not someone who says
32:49pretty things he doesn't mean
33:10is this obvious enough
33:11i'm flirting with you
33:12i want to be your mate
33:16for real
33:22bang
33:22the door flew open
33:24cold air rushed in
33:26i panicked
33:27shoved griffin back
33:29and fumbled to straighten my clothes
33:30i looked up
33:31alec
33:32his face was like carved stone
33:34his eyes were burning
33:36everything i'd been holding back all night
33:38the hurt
33:39the betrayal
33:39the mortication
33:40came out as a sneer
33:41what are you even doing here
33:42aren't you supposed to be on your date with my sister
33:44his eyes swept over griffin's bare chest
33:47the wolf inside him rumbered
33:48a sound i could feel in my ribs
33:51griffin had it by the collar
33:52alec wrenched griffin's hand off
33:53and walked out into the living room
33:55straight into jasper
33:56jasper smiled at him
33:57and held out an invitation
33:58alec exploded
33:59the door slammed hard enough
34:00to rattle the frames on the walls
34:02jasper stood there blinking
34:03me and griffin stared at the floor
34:05jasper's birthday party was bright and loud
34:07full of laughing wolves and formal clothes
34:09i found a corner and started drinking
34:10alec's betrayal
34:12griffin's confession
34:14jasper's steady kindness
34:15the moon goddess's warning
34:17all of it tangled together in my head
34:20like a net pulling tight
34:21the more i drank
34:22the fuzzier things got
34:23griffin rushed over
34:24and tried to take my glass
34:25i slapped his hand away
34:27a harsh cough tore through me
34:29i tasted copper
34:30blood dripped onto my dress
34:31bright red against the pale silk
34:33i pushed through the crowd
34:35and locked myself in the bathroom
34:36leaned on the sink
34:38the woman in the mirror was pale
34:40i know i can't hold on any longer
34:41i have to pick one to bond with tonight
34:43or i'm really gonna die
34:45pounding on the door
34:47griffin's worried voice
34:48i shouted back at him to leave me alone
34:50i stared at myself in the mirror
34:52the decision clicked into place
34:53i wasn't going to die
34:54not like this
34:55i straightened my dress
34:56pulled that thing out of my clutch
34:57and gripped it
34:57hardened of them was outside this door
34:59that was who i was choosing
35:00and it was final
35:03i pulled the bathroom door open
35:04alex
35:05he was carrying the cold in with him
35:06his face was dark
35:07his eyes were scorching
35:08i stepped back without meaning to
35:10the thing slipped out of my hand
35:11and hit the floor between us
35:12he saw it
35:13he walked me backward
35:14until i was pinned between the vanity
35:16and his body
35:18lifted me onto the counter
35:19like i weighed nothing
35:22his thumb brushed the corner of my mouth
35:24he forced my face up to his
35:25his voice was low
35:26and thick with rage
35:27barely held back
35:28then he kissed me
35:28it was a punishing kiss
35:30teeth and tongue
35:30and discipline and desperation
35:32all at once
35:32he left a mark on my neck
35:33his arms caged me against the mirror
35:35through the door
35:36jasper called my name
35:37a wave of cold water down my spine
35:39and then a wave of something hotter
35:40right behind it
35:41i hooked my arm around alex's neck
35:43pulled him into the nearest dot
35:44and slammed the door
35:45through the lock
35:46pressed him against the partition
35:47and kissed him with everything i had
35:49my hand went straight for his belt
35:50the knocking got closer
35:51it stopped right outside the stall
35:52jasper's voice
35:53gentle and anxious
35:54came through the metal
35:55alex went roger
35:56the heat drained out of his eyes
35:57and was replaced with something worse
35:59betrayal
35:59he slammed his fist into the stall door
36:01the whole cubicle shook
36:03the knocking outside went silent
36:04a long pause
36:05then jasper's quiet awkward apology
36:07footsteps receding
36:09are you out of your fucking mind
36:11freya would you spread your legs
36:12for anyone with a cock
36:13are you that cheap
36:14like you're any different
36:15you trained with me
36:16you listened to me
36:18and then you turned around
36:19and called my sister
36:20you're no better than every other person
36:22who's ever looked down on me
36:23and used me
36:23were you jealous
36:24did you actually care
36:26why would i be jealous of you
36:28you're a self-absorbed asshole
36:29you mean nothing to me
36:31nothing
36:32absolutely nothing
36:38in class the next morning
36:40the fight kept replaying in my head
36:41nora's voice kept pushing through
36:43weaker
36:43the dull ache in my chest
36:45was a clock ticking down
36:46a folded note slid onto my desk
36:49jasper's handwriting
36:50something gentle and careful
36:52my eyes burned
36:54i looked up and found him watching me
36:56his eyes full of quiet worry
36:58thea saw it
37:00her face contorted
37:01a paper ball thumbed against my back
37:03i opened it
37:04seven words
37:05rooftop
37:06eight tonight
37:06come alone
37:09the wind was cold on the rooftop
37:11my skirt snapped around my legs
37:12i gripped the note and walked to the center
37:13my heart full of hope
37:14jasper was finally going to let me tell me
37:16a sneer cut through the wind
37:17thea was at the stairway door
37:18flanked by her two friends
37:19blocking the only exit
37:20their faces were pure malice
37:22they closed in on me
37:22her friends grabbed my arms
37:24and slammed me onto the concrete
37:25the cold of the rooftop
37:26cut through my dress
37:27i kicked
37:28i twisted
37:28they pinned my shoulder
37:29thea crouched over me
37:30caught my chin in her hand
37:32pulled a small bottle out of her pocket
37:34dark liquid
37:34sharp chemical smell
37:35her friends forced my draw open
37:37she poured it down my throat
37:38it tasted like rot and acid
37:40heat tore through my body instantly
37:42my vision warped
37:44my muscles went slack
37:45i couldn't fight anymore
37:47i tried to scream
37:48the wind swallowed it
37:49and just as i was about to go under
37:51the rooftop door exploded inward
37:53alex
37:53his eyes blood red
37:54a killing aura coming off him in waves
37:56he didn't say a word
37:57he knocked thea and her friends flat
37:59grabbed him like he was the last solid thing in the world
38:01i threw myself at him
38:02babbling
38:03begging
38:03he stiffened
38:04i could see him trying to be responsible
38:06trying to push me off so he could find the antidote
38:08but my flushed face
38:10my desperate eyes
38:11my tears
38:12the wall inside him cracked
38:14he whispered against my ear
38:15gragged and rough
38:16the heat in my body and the pan of my chest
38:17ran tight around each other
38:18he kept holding me
38:19kissing me
38:19kissing me
38:20revived Matthew
38:20he was hiding to darkness
38:21safe
38:22when i woke up i was in my own bed
38:23his coat was draped over me
38:24i could smell him on it
38:25that cool mountain scent
38:26cut through with a thin thread of blood
38:27a knock
38:28jasper
38:28he came in with a glass of warm water
38:30his eyes full of water
38:30the door suddenly bursts open
38:31griffin storms in
38:32clearly furious
38:33and urgently asks where alex is
38:34saying he's gone missing
38:35what alex had brought me back
38:36it's the full moon
38:37what alex could lose control at any time
38:39if we don't find him
38:40enzo his wolf will swallow him whole
38:42he'll die
38:42we have to find him before sunrise
38:44so alex has been fighting the wolf
38:45this whole time
38:46that was why he kept shoving me away
38:56in the dream
38:57i was in a wasted forest
38:59moonlight
39:00alex slumped against a tree
39:02shirt soaked with blood
39:04cuts everywhere
39:05i grabbed his hand and sobbed that i wasn't angry anymore
39:09that every misunderstanding was gone
39:11pain ripped through my head and i snapped awake
39:14cold sweat on my forehead
39:16the full moon still hung outside the window
39:18one thought in my whole body
39:20find him
39:25i threw on a coat and ran
39:26straight for the forbidden forest
39:28i knew where he was
39:29he was in the most dangerous place there was
39:30and the place he needed me most
39:32the night was like ink
39:33the branches twisted overhead like claws
39:35the wind howled through dead leaves
39:36cutting at my face
39:37i stumbled forward
39:38my dress tore on every other branch
39:39my bare feet bled on the rocks
39:41none of it mattered
39:42under an old tree i found him
39:43collapsed
39:44soaked in blood
39:45new wounds still bleeding
39:46mud and dead leaves clung to him
39:48his breathing was so shallow
39:49i could barely see it
39:51alex
39:53alex stay with me
40:03i wasn't contacting mia for a date
40:06i believe you
40:08there's someone inside the academy
40:10they're working with the hunters
40:11they want me dead
40:13protecting you the man he'd tied up at the start of term
40:15it had to be
40:16they'd been after alex from the beginning
40:17i'm sorry
40:17i'm so sorry for every time i misunderstood you
40:19from now on i'm gonna be the one protecting you
40:23the kitchen was warm and full of steam in the morning light
40:25milk bubbling on the stove
40:27eggs crisping gold at the edges
40:30a bowl of healing broth i'd spent an hour on waiting to bring him
40:33i adjusted the flame for the fifth time
40:35i adjusted the flame for the fifth time all i could think about was him the whole night i dreamed
40:39of him the way he'd leaned against me that fragile unberservable vulnerability how every breath had pained him i just
40:47wanted him to wake up to something warm something to make him heal faster
40:50every guilt every miss chance every ounce of doubt of tint i'd carried i was going to pack it into
40:59this one meal and give it to him a gentle voice came from the doorway jasper in loose clothes hair
41:06still damp i saw him reaching for the tray and stopped him at once telling him it was special nutritious
41:11meal prepared for alex but he told me alex had already left the spoon fell out of my hand and
41:16hit the plate with a sharp ring where was he?
41:20Who was going to take care of him?
41:22What if someone found him again?
41:24I got two steps before Jasper was in front of me,
41:27his body warm against the cold wall behind me,
41:30his breath on my forehead.
41:32He was close enough to kiss.
41:33If I tilted up one inch, I could.
41:36I'm not going to let you go.
41:37Come back to my territory with me.
41:40If you choose me, I'll announce you as my Luna in front of my whole pack.
41:45I'll protect you for the rest of my life.
41:48No more misunderstanding.
41:50No more hurt.
41:51I looked into his sunlit face,
41:53at the warmth in his eyes,
41:54at the sincerity of everything he was,
41:56and my mind kept dragging up another face.
41:59Another man.
41:59A Alex.
42:00Alex against my chest in the forest,
42:02vulnerable and bleeding.
42:04Alex biting back his wolf so he wouldn't hurt me.
42:06Alex.
42:07Broken.
42:08Aching.
42:09Terrified.
42:10Still somehow trying to keep me safe.
42:12It hit me in waves.
42:14Every moment of him.
42:15It drowned out the gentle warmth standing right in front of me.
42:19Wait.
42:22The silence cracked everything.
42:25Jasper froze.
42:26The hope in his eyes faded slowly,
42:28replaced by something softer.
42:30Understanding.
42:31He stepped back.
42:32He ran his hand over my hair once,
42:34gently,
42:35and smiled.
42:36No blame.
42:37Only release.
42:38He helped me get to Alex's packed territory.
42:40At the border,
42:42he solemnly severed our bond.
42:44The pain was shattering,
42:46like something tearing out of my ribs.
42:48I looked up into Jasper's tired,
42:50quiet eyes.
42:51The guilt was a knife,
42:53but I had no other choice.
42:54The car drove away.
42:56The bond back I was shamed into.
42:58I doubled over and coughed up blood onto the gravel.
43:01I used the last of my strength to stagger into Alex's wing of the estate.
43:05He was sitting on the edge of the bed drinking coffee.
43:07Sunlight on his face.
43:09He looked up,
43:10saw me,
43:11bloody,
43:12dirty,
43:12barely standing,
43:13and his face went white.
43:14I didn't hesitate it.
43:16I launched across the wing of the moth into a flame.
43:19I shoved him down onto the bed and straddled him.
43:22My hands pinned his shoulders,
43:25my knuckles white,
43:26my whole body shaking from the backlash and the hunger.
43:31This cold, cool-looking man was what I wanted.
43:35I fumbled with the buttons on his shirt.
43:38The more I hurried,
43:39the clumsier I got.
43:41All I could feel,
43:42horror was him getting harder against me.
43:44burning through two layers of fabric.
43:46The howls of both our wolves,
43:48the ones we've been suppressing for so long.
43:51Are you sure?
43:54I'm not whether I want.
43:57Clean.
43:58Twisted around each other,
44:00the faded macron locked into place,
44:02wrapping around our bones,
44:04deep and unbreakable.
44:05It drove out every shadow,
44:07every fear,
44:09every old wound.
44:10This is happiness,
44:12oh, I believe.
44:15I woke up the next morning and in his bed.
44:19Sunlight everywhere.
44:22I kissed his cheek while he slept
44:24and padded into the bathroom.
44:29Day by day, you'll get alone.
44:32Thank you, moon goddess.
44:34I'm so relieved.
44:35The bond was completed in time,
44:36and I finally survived.
44:42I grabbed his arm and tried to explain.
44:45He pulled away from me.
44:46Hard.
44:47His wolf was coming back up.
44:48I could see the panic and the shame on his face
44:50as plain as I saw my own guilt.
44:52And I could see him making a decision.
44:54He turned and walked out,
44:56without one look back.
44:59I watched him go.
45:00Every step he took crushed something inside me.
45:03Dull pain.
45:04Silent tears.
45:05I knew this was a misunderstanding.
45:06I knew he was leaving because he was afraid of what his wolf would do to me.
45:09I went to his office.
45:11He had his back to me the whole time.
45:12A wall of cold shoulder that wouldn't turn around.
45:15The beta told me helplessly that Alex was only afraid of hurting me,
45:19not intentionally pushing me away.
45:21I knew.
45:23I'd known the whole time.
45:25But what was I supposed to do as his mate if he wouldn't even look at me?
45:32His coldness is scaring me.
45:35Maybe I should just give up.
45:39No.
45:40I'm never giving up.
45:42I love him.
45:42That's enough.
45:43I walked to his office door and raised my fist.
45:46Every knock was the sound of me burning my last bridge.
45:49No answer.
45:51I shoved the door open.
45:52The room was empty.
45:54Only the beta, standing by the desk.
45:58His face was cold.
46:00His voice was colder.
46:01He told me Alex was gone.
46:03And even if he weren't, he would refuse to see me.
46:06He said we were never meant to be, and we ought to stop torturing each other.
46:10Every ounce of strength drained out of me.
46:13I tasted copper from where I'd bitten my lip.
46:15I turned and walked out with my back straight, tears blurring my vision.
46:19Every step heavy.
46:20But the thought in my head was getting clearer.
46:23I'm not leaving, Alex.
46:25No matter how you hide.
46:27No matter how hard you push.
46:28I'm never giving up on you.
46:34The room was dark.
46:35Only moonlight.
46:37I was on the floor again.
46:39My back against the wall.
46:40A half-finished glass of something next to me.
46:45I dreamed.
46:47I was back in the forest.
46:48Darkness so thick I couldn't see my own hand.
46:51Wind cutting through me.
46:52Despair pressing in on all sides.
46:54Alex was on the ground.
46:56Pale.
46:57Bloody.
46:58His breath almost gone.
46:59I ran.
47:02Dropped to my knees.
47:03Reached for him.
47:04His eyes have stoked me.
47:06The gentleness was gone.
47:07What looked back at me was pure, hungry violence.
47:10His pupils blazed red.
47:12A roar tore out of his throat, echoing through the trees.
47:16You're just using me!
47:18No!
47:19I truly love you!
47:25Tears running down my face.
47:27I screamed it at him over and over.
47:30The red in his eyes deafened.
47:32His hand closed around my throat.
47:34I couldn't breathe.
47:35Death crept in at the edges of my vision.
47:41And then, just as I was about to lose everything,
47:44the red in his eyes deafened.
47:46His hand flew off my neck.
47:48A single tear dropped onto my face.
47:50I stared up at him.
47:52The violent version of him.
47:53The one that had almost killed me.
47:55He was crying.
47:56I jolted awake.
47:58Tears still wet on my face.
48:00My chest heaving.
48:02Cold sweat soaking my hair.
48:03And just as the cold and the hopelessness were about to swallow me whole,
48:08a soft, holy voice spoke into my ear.
48:11The chill vanished.
48:12In the moonlight, the moon goddess appeared.
48:15Her face full of sorrow and love.
48:17I wiped my face and stumbled toward her, my voice shaking.
48:20I had to know.
48:21How did I save him?
48:22I couldn't stand watching him be torn apart from the inside while I could do nothing.
48:31How did I save him?
48:34How did I save him?
48:37I couldn't stand watching him be torn apart from the inside while I could do nothing.
48:41Peace, child.
48:43I've come to tell you this.
48:45You are the answer.
48:49Freda.
48:52You are the one who can save him.
48:55And yourself.
48:59The moon goddess's words hit me like a bolt of lightning.
49:03I froze.
49:04My whole body shook.
49:07My lips trembled so hard I couldn't make a sound.
49:11I clenched the necklace at my throat.
49:14My father had been a feared and powerful alpha.
49:16My mother had been a white witch, born with pure healing power, condemned by every pack as a heretic.
49:22They had fallen in love across a line that wasn't supposed to be crossed.
49:25And they had been slaughtered for it.
49:27Murdered on a stone altar.
49:29Every unexplained moment fell into place at once.
49:31Every strange pull I'd felt towards Alex.
49:33Every time his eyes had languered on mine.
49:35Every coincidence that hadn't been a coincidence.
49:37All the confusion, all the fear, all the self-doubt I'd been carrying.
49:40It shattered.
49:41I can save him.
49:42I really can save him.
49:44Before I could fully take it in, the door crashed open.
49:48Jasper and Griffin, pale, frantic.
49:50Forbidden forest from my dream flashed through my head.
49:54I know how to save him.
49:55He must be in the forbidden forest.
50:04You're the white witch's daughter?
50:07Griffin grew gentle and relieved.
50:09He raised his hand toward the cold moonlight.
50:11His voice was low and solemn.
50:13He swore to release me as his mate.
50:15From this night on, he would guard me only as a friend for the rest of his life.
50:19A soft white light flared.
50:21The bond between us broke without pain.
50:23No regret.
50:24Only release.
50:26And deep, deep gratitude.
50:29I was almost at the edge of the forbidden forest when a dark shape dropped out of the shadows behind
50:34me.
50:36Before I could react, something slammed into the back of my skull.
50:40White hot pain rolled over me like a wave.
50:46The dull throbb at the back of my head.
50:48A sharp cramp in my stomach.
50:50I forced my eyes open in the dim light of a warehouse.
50:53Kian and Mia, standing over me, smiling like snakes.
50:56I tried to pull on the power inside me.
50:59Nothing.
51:00My body wouldn't respond.
51:01Nora didn't answer.
51:02Panic.
51:03Mia stepped forward and slapped me across the face.
51:06Then drove her fist into my stomach.
51:08Pain flooded everything.
51:10Blood in my mouth.
51:11I forced myself to glare up at them.
51:14Told them Alex would never let them get away with this.
51:16Kieran scoffed, unconvinced.
51:18I snarled at him.
51:19Called him a traitor.
51:20A coward.
51:21Mia lost it completely.
51:23She slapped me again and screamed that she was going to destroy me.
51:26She turned to the fire pit in the middle of the warehouse and pulled a glowing red poker
51:30out of the coals.
51:31The heat rolled off her.
51:32She stepped toward me.
51:34She was going to burn out my eyes.
51:36The heat got closer.
51:37I shut my eyes.
51:39All I could see was him.
51:41All I could think was that I couldn't die like this.
51:43I hadn't saved him yet.
51:45I hadn't told him the truth.
51:46Let her go!
51:49How the hell are you here?
51:51You were supposed to be trapped by the hunters.
51:52You're just a monster who can't control his wolf.
51:56You're going to end up killing the people who love you.
52:13That's right.
52:14Just like this.
52:16Next, you'll strangle the girl you love with your own hands.
52:28I leaned back against the wall.
52:30I didn't flinch.
52:31I didn't step back.
52:32I called his name through my tears.
52:34His body shook.
52:35His right hand was holding a dagger, lifting it toward me.
52:38His left hand was clamped around his own right wrist, nails digging into skin, trying
52:42to hold the right hand back.
52:43Then he twisted the blade, turned it away from me, toward himself.
52:47I screamed and threw myself at him.
52:49Grabbed the blade in both hands.
52:50The edge cut deep into my palms.
52:53Blood ran down the steel.
52:54I didn't feel it.
52:56The power sleeping inside me for 18 years woke up.
52:58Warmth flooded every cell in my body.
53:01My chestnut hair shimmered and shifted.
53:03Down the length of it, strand by strand, turning pure silver light.
53:06A soft, powerful white light burst out of me.
53:08It filled every corner of the warehouse.
53:10Every shadow retreated from it.
53:12Every trace of violence dissolved.
53:13My palm was still bleeding, but the white light flowing through me grew warmer and warmer.
53:18The ancient, born-in power of a white witch wrapped around me and wrapped around me.
53:22Strange and familiar all at once.
53:24By the light's my guide.
53:25By the blood as my bond.
53:27I banish the darkness.
53:29I restore the true heart.
53:31By the moon's power.
53:33May the shadow lift.
53:35By my blood.
53:36May the one I love be saved.
53:41May the one I love be saved.
54:07Deep, urgent, full of everything we'd almost lost.
54:11Everything we'd finally found.
54:12When the kiss ended, he pressed his forehead to mine.
54:15The tenderness in his eyes almost undid me.
54:17And I understood, completely, that we had finally walked out of the dark together.
