00:00Two years as Luna of Silverweight Pack.
00:03Tonight my husband sent me a New Year's gift.
00:05A photo of him in another woman's bed.
00:10Every one of them wants me to shift into a she-wolf and tear this ballroom apart.
00:14That's the Luna they remember.
00:15Bury it.
00:18Last time Matthew got caught I torched his yacht before the party ended.
00:21They still talk about it.
00:23Tonight I just need to get Ellie upstairs safely.
00:26The rest can wait until midnight is over.
00:28Her breath is warm.
00:31Mine stopped two minutes ago.
00:34She smells like milk and innocence.
00:37The estate downstairs smells like betrayal.
00:43Alice has been like a real mother to me.
00:46Tonight I need her as something more.
00:51Isla, I'm so sorry.
00:52I'll call that bastard right now.
00:55Mom, I'm busy. Pack business.
00:58I'll come back tomorrow to smooth things over.
01:01Tell Isla she handled it well today.
01:03Real Luna now.
01:04Docile.
01:05Tell her to keep it up.
01:06That bastard.
01:08He forgets who holds this family together.
01:10Mom.
01:11I'm not here for justice tonight.
01:13Five years ago you gave half your liver to save my mother.
01:16I've never forgotten.
01:17You asked me to marry him.
01:18To tame him.
01:19I tried everything for two years.
01:21The mate bond isn't enough to change a man with no honor.
01:23I want a divorce.
01:25And full custody of Ellie.
01:27All right.
01:27I'll help you.
01:28Let me handle the elders.
01:30Back then it was Matthew who saw you first.
01:32He begged me to make you his mate.
01:34He did love me once.
01:35Nailed and begged the moon goddess when Ellie was born.
01:37But honor isn't a feeling.
01:38It's a choice he stopped making.
01:40Get me Elder Margaret.
01:42It's a matriarch summons.
01:44Tonight.
01:46Alice was the Luna before me.
01:48She's willing to break the pack herself.
01:58My wolf hasn't howled in two years.
02:01Tonight she just watched the snow fall.
02:03Silent.
02:05Waiting.
02:06Waiting.
02:07Waiting.
02:11Waiting.
02:15Two years of silence.
02:17Tonight my wolf will choose who hears me next.
02:23Lucas.
02:24It's me.
02:25I need your help.
02:26Start the divorce paperwork tonight.
02:28Isla.
02:29I've been waiting.
02:30The documents are ready.
02:32They've always been ready.
02:37Two years I believed the bond would save him.
02:40Tonight I found out someone else was ready to save me first.
02:49Every time he cheats, the number in my account grows.
02:56Tonight he reopened the club I shut down last month.
02:58And he wants me to bring him protection.
03:01For her.
03:03Two years ago a message like this would have made my wolf tear her own throat open.
03:06Tonight I don't even have the strength to be angry.
03:09A year ago I would have smashed this phone and burned that club to the ground.
03:12Tonight I just want him to know I'm too tired to even be angry.
03:15My wolf is curled up somewhere deep inside me.
03:17She's been sleeping for a long time.
03:23Mommy, will daddy like it?
03:26Of course he will, sweetheart.
03:29I love this picture.
03:30But I know it's already a lie.
03:33The scent hit me first.
03:35Musk, rain, and the sweet perfume of another woman.
03:38Daddy!
03:39Daddy!
03:40Missed me already, pup?
03:41It's only been one night.
03:43No matter what we've become, he is still a good father.
03:46That's the cruelest part.
03:53Inside this folder, medical releases, school forms, and one document he will never bother
03:59to read.
03:59I was bracing for you to storm that club last night, but just a delivery guy with condoms.
04:04Isla, that's new.
04:05Isn't this what you wanted?
04:06A Luna who stays quiet and lets her alpha play.
04:09Hey, relax.
04:11You're still the one with the mark.
04:12They're just distractions.
04:13Two years ago, he swore to the moon goddess that I would be the only one carrying his scent.
04:18Now his distractions keep appearing, one after another, diluting the sanctity of a bond
04:23he begged me to accept.
04:24He forgot that vow.
04:25I haven't.
04:28Sign these.
04:29Ellie's advanced schooling.
04:31Medical releases.
04:31These little administrative things, you can handle them.
04:37He didn't even glance at the title.
04:40Done.
04:41He thought I would never leave him.
04:43He was wrong.
04:46And then I saw her.
04:47Please, I don't have insurance.
04:49No ID, no pack number.
04:51Move aside.
04:54Not going to help your old friend?
05:01He didn't even say goodbye to Ellie.
05:04I didn't care what he was doing anymore.
05:06And then the pack's social fleet pushed the headline.
05:16Mommy, can we get ice cream?
05:18Yes, baby.
05:19Let's go.
05:21In the warm afternoon light, everything looked like a post like a postcard.
05:26But everything was already broken.
05:31Ellie?
05:33Mommy?
05:35Ellie.
05:36If Mommy and Daddy don't live in the same den anymore,
05:43would you want to stay with me?
05:49This was the first time I ever asked for her answer.
05:55I would.
05:57Where Mommy is, is where the pack is.
06:00Daddy's busy a lot.
06:02He smells like other people.
06:03But I have Mommy.
06:04A child's world is simple.
06:06And that simplicity just sliced through every lie I had been living.
06:13Good girl.
06:14Let's not tell Daddy about this, okay?
06:16It's our secret.
06:18Okay.
06:19She deserves a mother who doesn't flinch.
06:22Starting today, that's who I have to be.
06:24Luna, I mean ma'am.
06:26Alpha Robinson asked for the keys to Misswood Manor.
06:28He's giving them to Sienna Ford.
06:30He said she needs a safe place to recover.
06:32Misswood.
06:33My river at Manter.
06:33My river estate before the mating.
06:35Part of my dowry.
06:36He picked the one place that would cut the deepest.
06:38Got it.
06:41Territory use tax.
06:42If he's going to park his stray in my house, he can pay tribute.
06:46Not a word of reply.
06:48Just the money.
06:49He thinks silver can silence a lunar's tongue.
06:52He has no idea.
06:54I'm not the lunar anymore.
06:56I'm something older.
06:58Something harder.
07:05This is Ellie's third birthday.
07:07Not Sienna's stage.
07:09Ellie, sweetheart.
07:10This is from me.
07:12Let me put it on, okay?
07:13No.
07:18Looks like Ellie doesn't like me much.
07:20I just wanted to make her happy.
07:31Keep your disgusting affairs away from us.
07:35And away from my daughter.
07:37Alpha, I just wanted to bring Ellie a birthday gift.
07:40As you asked.
07:41As you asked.
07:42Three words.
07:44He told her to come.
07:45He sent her to my daughter's birthday.
07:47Did you hurt yourself?
07:48I thought you'd learned some decorum by now.
07:50Looks like I was wrong.
07:52He asked me where my dignity is.
07:54He doesn't know.
07:55Dignity was the last thing I put down for him.
08:01Bloodline Trust.
08:03Matthew's father set it up the day Ellie was born.
08:05Sealed by PAC law.
08:06Never meant to be touched.
08:07A massive sum.
08:08Gone.
08:09The signature was his.
08:12No answer.
08:13That was my first answer.
08:15I'm driving to his office.
08:16Now.
08:16I am the Luna of Silver Lake PAC.
08:19I had every right to be here.
08:20Luna, the Alpha is busy.
08:22Please, let me announce you.
08:23Busy.
08:24The word his staff used for what was happening behind that door.
08:28I knew.
08:29I had always known.
08:31She didn't look away.
08:33She wanted me to see her on my husband's throne.
08:37Oh!
08:38Alpha, she scared me!
08:40Two faces.
08:42Switched in one breath.
08:44She was very good at this.
08:46Why are you here, Ilissa?
08:47Is the house on fire?
08:49The Bloodline Trust is drained.
08:51Did you take it?
08:52I didn't need him to confess.
08:54I already knew the signature.
09:01Alpha, I'm so sorry.
09:03Without my contract breach fee, you wouldn't have had to touch Ellie's fund.
09:06Don't overreact.
09:07It's compensation for her.
09:08Call it avoiding a challenge from her kin.
09:10Compensation.
09:10With our Dotliza's safety net shattered.
09:12The other belief that Siren Studio was still mine was about to die too.
09:16Alpha, the council meeting is starting in five.
09:19Come on.
09:20Stop growling.
09:21I've ordered a spirit gem necklace for you.
09:23It'll be delivered tomorrow.
09:25He didn't notice.
09:26I hadn't been growling.
09:27I hadn't made a sound since I opened the door.
09:30Luna, the Alpha's gift just arrived from the jeweler.
09:36Storage vault.
09:37Thank you, Martha.
09:37A spirit gem necklace.
09:39A bribe dressed as an apology.
09:41I didn't need it.
09:42I didn't want it.
09:43I wouldn't touch it.
09:44Not this time.
09:45Repeat.
09:46That word hit me like a physical blow.
09:48There had been Lunas in this pack before me.
09:51Betrayed.
09:52Silenced.
09:53Replaced.
09:54I was not the first.
09:55But I had a choice they hadn't.
09:57I had Siren Studio.
09:59I had my own ground.
10:00My studio.
10:01My technology.
10:03Three years of partnership with the Velasco Vampire Clan.
10:06Please welcome our special speaker, Miss Sienna Ford.
10:10And Matthew gave my stage to her.
10:13Matthew, what gives you the right to replace my guest speaker?
10:16Sienna is trending.
10:17Her buzz is better than yours.
10:18We're a pack, remember?
10:19Your resources are mine.
10:21Her earnings offset the fund.
10:22My resources are his?
10:24That was his whole world wove.
10:25That was the sentence that ended 20 years of belief.
10:28Hi, everyone.
10:29The technology is really complicated.
10:32The frequency is kind of like the howling algorithm.
10:43My ears!
10:44Is she trying to de-domp us?
10:45Incompetent Omega!
10:46Get her off my frequency range!
10:49She was just nervous.
10:50We'll have her better prepared next time.
10:51He called it vampires, called it incompetence.
10:53I called it the last proof I needed.
10:57Three years.
10:58Three pack partnerships.
11:00Gone in 60 seconds because my husband thought his mistress could stand on my stage.
11:05The damage was done, and something in me finished.
11:10I'll send the new contracts tomorrow.
11:11Let's get dinner, Ilis.
11:12For two years, I had raged.
11:15I had clawed.
11:16I had howled.
11:17Not anymore.
11:18He didn't notice.
11:20He never did.
11:21Tomorrow, I stop fighting his way and start playing mine.
11:28Small accident.
11:29I'll double your loss from the Terry treasury.
11:32He didn't even read past the second line.
11:36All I have to do is whine, and he'll hand me your studio on a silver platter.
11:41Why cling to the title of Luna, when everyone knows you've lost his favor?
11:46Two years of screaming, and for what?
11:48Yeah.
11:49I did go feral.
11:51But tell me, Omega.
11:52Omega, who gave you the courage to bare your teeth at a Luna?
12:04Isla!
12:12Are you okay?
12:13You used to smash cars, now you're attacking my people?
12:16You've become vicious.
12:18And you?
12:19Stealing from your pup's inheritance?
12:21Ruining my event?
12:23What does that make you, Matthew?
12:25Let's see how far you can push me.
12:27I counted the cost.
12:28The contracts.
12:29The bruises.
12:31The years.
12:32Tonight, the ledger closes.
12:34Isla, the paperwork is almost done.
12:37Five days.
12:38Tops.
12:38You and Ellie won't be left without territory.
12:41One more thing.
12:42The old Alpha's memorial.
12:43Would you stand as Luna one last time?
12:45For him?
12:45Okay, Mom.
12:47I'll be there.
12:48The old Alpha was the only Robinson who called me daughter.
12:52I owed him one last goodbye.
12:54Ozone and rain.
12:55He's here.
12:56And he's not alone.
13:00Strangers from enemy packs.
13:02That's what we'd become.
13:05Matthew.
13:07Today is your father's funeral.
13:10Why bring her here?
13:12Isla is still your Luna.
13:14I know I shouldn't be here.
13:17I'm not worthy.
13:19But I'm pregnant.
13:22He's a Robinson.
13:25Since she's carrying a Robinson pup, it's natural she should pay respects.
13:30For two years, he swore Ellie was his only heir.
13:33Until now.
13:35Auntie.
13:36Let's not disturb the old Alpha's rest.
13:39Alice, I'm not feeling well.
13:40I'm going to take Ellie home.
13:50Mom, are we going home?
13:52Yes, baby.
13:54We're going home.
13:56He thinks home is still his.
13:58He thinks four more days means nothing.
14:00Four days.
14:02And this house he calls mine will no longer be my home.
14:08Three more days until the severance ceremony.
14:11I'm done caring what he leaves to whom.
14:14I'm taking my daughter and walking out of this pack tonight.
14:17Luna!
14:18Luna!
14:20Something's wrong!
14:21Ellie is missing!
14:22That cold running through me, it's not fear.
14:25It's the instinct of a mother catching a predator's scent.
14:29Isla Reed, you're in my way.
14:31Your pup is in my way too.
14:33The pack doesn't need two heirs.
14:36You both deserve to die.
14:38Sienna.
14:38So she finally crossed that line.
14:43Saving my daughter is instinct.
14:46Destroying Sienna, that's just something I'll do on the way.
14:50Sarah, listen to me once.
14:52Sienna Ford.
14:53The Rogue Fight Club photos.
14:54Her forged lineage papers.
14:56The recordings of her trading pack secrets for favors.
14:58Luna, you...
14:59Release it all.
15:00Pack network, public media.
15:01Buy out every headline.
15:0224 hours.
15:03Make her a Perea.
15:04Yes, Luna.

23:27busy flaunting that stray while your territory burns
23:30get your ass back to the main house
23:33now
23:37the scent of home was gone
23:39replaced by cleaning products
23:45my wolf paced in my mind
23:47claws scratching
23:49something was wrong
23:52something deeper than a fight
24:00mom
24:01what's the emergency calling for
24:03matthew
24:05do you know where isla and ellie are right now
24:10she's hiding in some hotel with the pup
24:12throwing a tantrum
24:13once she realizes she can't survive
24:15without my protection
24:16she'll come crawling back
24:23crawling back
24:24matthew robinson
24:26do you still think she's baring her teeth for show
24:32open your eyes
24:33look

24:35she's severing the bond
24:37what the hell are you still dreaming about

24:54this can't be
24:56matthew
24:58i'm mating you for your soul

25:07she doesn't want anything
25:08doesn't want me
25:17do you understand now
25:22she is not trying to blackmail you
25:24she is truly done with you
25:26she doesn't want your rank
25:28she doesn't want your power
25:30she only wants to leave matthew
25:32do you truly not understand
25:36who the hell does she think she is
25:41taking my daughter
25:43and walking away from the pack
25:45not in this lifetime

25:58every tracker
25:59every satellite
26:00turn the entire territory upside down
26:03bring isla and ellie back to me
26:05now
26:10you still think this is a game of dominance
26:33that was the first moment
26:35he truly began to doubt himself
26:37matthew that recording is a forgery
26:40they are framing me
26:41our baby
26:48what if
26:50what if it was real
27:01some truths
27:03once doubt begins
27:05can never be undone
27:10two years i watched him make excuses for her
27:13tonight i'll watch him make excuses to himself
27:18run it
27:19full spectral analysis
27:21now
27:23stand by alpha
27:25ten minutes
27:25he'd never tasted helplessness before
27:28two years late to the party
27:31forgery probability under 0.1 percent
27:34voice print 100 percent match to sienna ford
27:37background matches the abandoned doc's acoustic signature
27:42alpha
27:43miss ford is awake
27:44she's very emotional
27:45she's asking for you
27:47she says her stomach hurts
27:48she's worried the stress is hurting the pup
27:50every tear she shed was a line
27:53every trembling lip was a stage direction
27:56alpha
27:56we dug into miss ford's medical history
27:58the pregnancy report is suspicious
27:59the attending healer received a large untraceable payment in gold
28:02the day before the report was issued
28:03and her past
28:03during your relationship with her
28:05she was closely involved with multiple rogue males
28:08there's also a confirmed omega from the shadow pack
28:10every time she cried
28:12every time she bared her throat
28:14it was choreography
28:16and he
28:17the fool
28:18played his part for two years
28:26he used to believe he walked into that hospital as a protector
28:30tonight
28:31he walked in as a verdict
28:41alpha you're finally here i
28:47the recording is real sienna
28:49what else do you have to say
28:51no
28:52that's fake
28:53eily set me up
28:55she hacked the system
28:56a setup
29:00then what about the fake pregnancy
29:02what about the rogue males
29:04the shadow pack omega
29:05is that also elah's doing
29:10sienna
29:10listen carefully
29:12you will pay for everything
29:13from tonight
29:14on this territory

29:16banished from robinson lands
29:17pray i don't find more evidence
29:19if i do it won't be his exile
29:21it will be execution
29:22he thought this was justice
29:23it was only self-sentencing
29:25three years late
29:27he walked in expecting lavender
29:29instead he learned what silence sounds like after it stopped being silence
29:33a den isn't a house
29:35it isn't money
29:36it's her
29:37and her
29:38breathing inside these walls
29:44the first time in his life
29:46this alpha howled
29:48and there was no one left to hear it
29:53two years
29:54two years of sleeping with one eye open
29:56of breathing in his storm
29:58tonight the air smells like nothing
30:01my wolf still doesn't know how to stop looking for him
30:03for the next blow
30:05for the footsteps behind me
30:10then i saw him
30:11the old lucas would have picked me up
30:14and spun me around
30:15every homecoming
30:16every christmas
30:18every victory
30:19but today
30:20he saw something in me
30:22and he held back
30:25he let go before anyone could see me crack
30:29that's how he's always loved me
30:31without ever making me pay for it
30:33ellipop do you still remember uncle lucas

34:18the forbidden vitality transfer
34:20i might have died
34:22your father and i tried to stop you from mating matthew
34:24especially lucas
34:25he was the first to oppose it
34:27he said that boy from the robinson hamley

34:30too flighty
34:31his wolf
34:31too arrogant

34:50if i had known this would make you go through so much pain
34:53i would have
34:54would have what
34:56his posture was like a wolf strolling into his own territory
34:59but his eyes finished scanning the room before ours did
35:02now you see who really has sharp eyes
35:04and sniff out a scum man's true nature right
35:08you're always teasing your sister
35:10show some respect
35:12ow
35:14abuse in the den
35:15i'm just helping mom educate you okay
35:17you have to listen to good advice
35:19especially from your big brother
35:20who has the best nose in the family
35:25the past is unchangeable
35:27but at least
35:28we still have each other
35:33a few days later
35:35i signed the first lease that truly belonged to me
35:37i named it isla
35:39not robinson
35:42just me
35:43lucas came here every day
35:46he said he was safeguarding the birth of a future music master
35:50but what he was doing looked more like something else
35:55lucas you didn't have to
35:57first cup from the new machine
35:58had to get it right
36:04the only sounds in the room
36:06were the scratch of pen on paper
36:08and the tap of keys
36:11quiet
36:12like two wolves sharing the same territory
36:15when he looks at me
36:16his gaze is heavy
36:18i can't read it
36:21i told myself
36:22he is my brother
36:25security contract
36:26i'll be outside
36:27mom came to see me again
36:29there was pride in her eyes
36:31but there was something else too
36:33mom
36:33what brings you here
36:35my mother is a very steady old luna
36:38she only touches a cup like that
36:41when something truly important was at stake
36:46isla there's something i've been thinking about for a long time
36:52i feel i should tell you now
36:58the way my mother sat down told me everything
37:01she was about to set down something she'd been carrying for 20 years
37:05i know this is hard for you to hear but it's time you knew the truth
37:10lucas
37:11he's not your biological brother
37:13he does not share the reed bloodline
37:17what
37:17he's a foundling
37:19adopted
37:19the healers said we couldn't produce a pup
37:22the elders were pressuring us for an heir
37:24we found him at the orphanage for displaced wolves
37:26a stubborn little thing
37:28eyes full of prickles
37:29but i knew he needed a pack
37:31he knew from the start that you weren't his blood sister
37:33we told him when you were born
37:35and he still took the blood oath to protect you
37:38blood oath
37:39the heaviest vow in the pack
37:41heavier than marriage
37:43and he took it when he was three
37:45i thought he was being being my brother
37:48he wasn't
37:50he was guarding
37:52if you're hurt just come back
37:54my den is yours
37:57my den is yours
37:59not something a brother says
38:01something a male wolf who'd been waiting for me to come home would say
38:04he walked in and he already knew
38:07in a house of wolves
38:09secrets have a scent
38:12i just closed a big deal
38:13we need to celebrate
38:14his wolf caught it before he did
38:17something was wrong with the heir
38:19what's going on here
38:20mom reminiscing again
38:21don't make my sister cry
38:22she's our family's priority protected species these days
38:25she didn't say a word
38:26but that look
38:27ryanine was her handing him off
38:31i could see my own reflection in his eyes
38:34for the first time i noticed they didn't look like mine
38:36they didn't look like my father's
38:38has our big composer hit a creative block
38:40you're furrowing your rows like you're about to squash a fly
38:43what's going on
38:44deep in thought huh
38:46his wolf was waiting for me to say yes
38:49my wolf
38:51i hadn't even fully admitted i had one listening
38:58nothing's more important than food right
38:59come on artist
39:00how about treating the hard-working manager who's been running around for you
39:03that wasn't the hand that held mine crossing the street when i was little
39:06this hand
39:07was asking a question
39:08he wasn't just my manager
39:10he never was
39:12cold fingertips on warm skin
39:14he didn't close his hand
39:15he just
39:16held it
39:20all right
39:25i didn't pull away
39:27and that was when i realized
39:29i didn't want to
39:39come on artist
39:40treat the hard-working manager who's been running around for you
39:44when we were kids
39:45he used to reach out like this to pull me out of trouble
39:49this time
39:49he was asking me if i wanted to walk in
39:55my fingers were cold
39:57his palm was burning
39:58and something
40:00and something
40:02faint but undeniable
40:04passed between us
40:06in the days that followed
40:08the air in the house changed
40:13didn't do anything
40:14just balance
40:16he was still lucas
40:18but every touch
40:19casual as it looked
40:21carried a test
40:22i didn't push him away
40:25but i didn't answer
40:27either
40:28the bond
40:29matthew tore from me
40:30was still healing
40:35his thumb had been here
40:37his thumb
40:39warm
40:40barely a second
40:42why was i the one
40:44replaying it
40:48he was patient
40:50a hunter who knew the prize
40:52was worth the wait
40:53i hadn't said yes
40:56but something inside me
40:59quietly
41:00had stopped saying no
41:06lucas no longer played the role of brother
41:09he was slowly
41:11patiently
41:12moving himself into every corner of my daily life
41:18client gave me two free tickets
41:21would have been a waste
41:23every excuse he makes is clumsy
41:25he doesn't care whether i see through them
41:27and my body
41:28is answering him without asking me first
41:32my wolf senses the courtship
41:35she doesn't lunge forward to tear everything apart
41:38the way she did with matthew
41:41she just
41:43quietly lifts her head
41:45and listens
41:46my mother's so-called revelation was never an announcement
41:49it was a carefully crafted assist
41:51the mastermind was the man standing right in front of me
41:54he no longer wanted to be just my protector
41:56he was positioning himself patiently for a brand new role
42:00and for the first time in two years i thought it might be worth my courage
42:05come in
42:12that scent
42:13him
42:15came here to hide in the neutral zone
42:17is there something you need alpha robinson
42:22where's ellie
42:23i came to see my daughter
42:25she's at the academy
42:27isla have you had enough
42:28playing this little runaway act amuses you
42:31matthew have you got it wrong
42:33the severin agreement is signed
42:34we have no relationship anymore
42:36if you want to see ellie schedule through the council
42:38this is my workplace
42:39you are not welcome here
42:40your scent is polluting my studio
42:42no relationship
42:43you signed a paper
42:44do you really think you can walk away from me
42:46we are faded
42:47name your price
42:48what will it take to bring the child back to the pack
42:50don't test my patience
42:51i can buy this entire building
42:53he's still reading from a script written two years ago
42:55he doesn't know
42:55the woman he could have bought is no longer in this room
42:58isla
42:59are you done
43:06three cents
43:08two alphas
43:10one of them is suddenly realizing the other is not the little brother he thought
43:14i thought today was just another ordinary dinner day
43:18but the storm has already arrived at my door
43:24in our world
43:26a brother standing between you and your enemy is not a brother
43:29it's a territory being redrawn
43:31alpha robinson
43:32what brings a high and mighty alpha to this little neutral territory
43:35i came to see isla and my pup
43:38this is a matter between mates
43:40mates
43:40are you sleepwalking
43:42does my sister still have your mark
43:47do you need me to slap the severance to keyed across your face
43:52you are nothing to her now
43:54lucas
43:55out of respect for your being isla's kin
43:58i've been polite
43:59but my family matters are none of your business
44:05isla is the one i've watched grow up
44:07i swore the blood oath to protect her
44:10how could you swear to the moon goddess you'd take care of her
44:14and what did you do
44:17you let some scent-masked rogue humiliate her
44:21ellie nearly drowned in that freezing water because of you
44:24let me make this clear
44:27leave isla's sight right now
44:29don't ever come near her again
44:31that was an accident
44:32sienna was unstable
44:34i handled it
44:35i banished her
44:41shut up
44:42don't ever mention that woman's name in this room
44:46lucas reed
44:47who the hell do you think you are
44:49you are a beta
44:50i have every right to see my daughter
44:53it's my blood right
44:55matthew's blood right is a lie about to collapse
45:22that strike was for illa and ellie
45:25my sister and niece are under my protection
45:27my territory
45:29my rules
45:33show up again
45:34and i will not hold back
45:36he felt it then
45:38not pain
45:39something older
45:41the recognition of a predator
45:43realizing he's walked into another beast's den
45:47the bond is eternal
45:49she's just punishing me
45:51she cannot let go
45:53not really
45:57if direct confrontation won't work
45:59and lucas stands guard at the gate
46:01then change direction
46:07three years of marriage
46:09now he started attacking through our pup
46:11and today
46:12the siege begins
46:15mrs reed's orders
46:16return to sender
46:19he thought this was clever
46:21he didn't know three people in that house
46:24were sending every gift back
46:30ellie
46:31do you miss daddy
46:32daddy has a new castle for you
46:35it's not convenient for the child
46:38please don't call again
46:40alpha robinson
46:41he stopped attacking me
46:43he started attacking her
46:45ellie was the weak link in their fortress
46:56i could block his calls
46:58i could return his gifts
46:59but the bloodbind hums between sire and pup
47:02a wire no gate can stop
47:04family only
47:05me
47:06my mother lucas
47:07no one else picks her up
47:10especially not him
47:17time to sleep little wolf
47:21mommy
47:23why doesn't daddy live with us in this den
47:26why did we send the big wolf doll back
47:29he said on the card
47:30he misses me
47:31the pup's wolf felt it
47:33the rejection of pack structure
47:34the absence of the alpha she was born under
47:37you have mama
47:38you have grandma
47:39you have uncle lucas
47:40our pack is small baby
47:41but it's strong
47:45but sometimes wolf misses daddy too
47:48that was the moment i knew
47:49i couldn't hide anymore
47:51blocking him wasn't the answer
47:53silence was being read as a game
47:55the tighter i hid
47:57the tighter he clung

53:51invitations came
53:53one after another
53:54but i chose carefully
53:57only the projects that respected the music itself
54:01not my past
54:03not my former title as luna
54:13he filled the hollow space without a word
54:16not a father
