00:00They mock me for chasing him for eight years, but none of them know.
00:04He came to me first.
00:06I'm a pure-blood noble werewolf, yet I stayed in the shadows, his secret lover for eight long years.
00:14I used my clan's power to raise him into the supreme alpha with my own hands, but he never chose
00:22to mark me.
00:26He finally promised to claim me in public.
00:30Tonight, at the king's mating ball, I thought my long, bitter wait had finally borne fruit.
00:36And right now, the moment his fated mate, Vivian, appeared, his wolf ignored me completely.
00:43Then he pulled her into his arms before the whole court.
00:47The lichen king blessed their bond on the spot.
00:52Congratulations!
00:53Cheers to love and forever!
00:55Everyone cheered loudly.
00:58Only I stood frozen in place, as if all my years had been torn away from me.
01:04He kissed her passionately right before all the noble courtiers.
01:12Lady Alara, how did a wolf like you end up without a partner tonight?
01:19Haven't found your fated one yet?
01:23I already have a mate.
01:27Oh, who's the lucky bastard?
01:31And how did you keep him hidden this long?
01:34Steady.
01:36Reliable.
01:38Treats me well.
01:39How did you meet?
01:40You've never breathed a word about him.
01:42Every eye in the hall was on me.
01:44A dry cough from across the room.
01:47It was Caleb.
01:48Leave it alone, princess.
01:51If Alara doesn't want to talk, don't push her.
01:54Cordelia laughed it off.
01:55My mistake, Mr. Alpha Caleb.
01:58But the moment he spoke, the focus shifted to them.
02:01Their real question is for Alpha Caleb.
02:04Caleb made his name young.
02:06Never took mate.
02:09Now we know.
02:10He was waiting for his fated one, Vivian.
02:14Caleb didn't answer.
02:16Didn't deny it either.
02:17Don't tell me the Alpha's shy.
02:21Laughter rolled through the hall.
02:24Caleb looked down at her.
02:26His eyes softened.
02:27Give us the truth, Alpha.
02:29Have you been in love with Vivian this whole time?
02:32Please, don't tease.
02:35Eight years.
02:36Eight years of him keeping me hidden.
02:43Gang politics is complicated.
02:45My enemies will use you against me.
02:49Baby, you gotta wait.
02:51For eight years, he never once made our relationship public.
02:55And underneath all of it, the thing he never said out loud.
02:58What if his fated one comes back?
03:00I pretended to ignore it.
03:02Long enough to get used to pretending we were strangers in public.
03:06It wasn't until tonight that I understood.
03:09The timing was never going to be right.
03:11It was always going to be her.
03:14Say something, Alpha!
03:25What's the hurry?
03:28We want a drink at the mating ceremony.
03:31Enough.
03:32Stop tormenting them.
03:34Caleb leaned in and lifted his glass to Vivian's lips.
03:38His eyes never left her face.
03:40I looked down at my own glass.
03:42Caleb had never shown me that kind of care.
03:46Lady Elota, I hear your family's been entertaining offers.
03:51Anyone catch your eye?
03:52I felt Caleb's stare.
03:55Don't say anything stupid.
03:57I didn't look at him.
03:58The mating date is set.
04:00Soon.
04:02So the rumors are true.
04:05I'm not a pup anymore.
04:07My parents set the date.
04:09I agreed.
04:10Who is he?
04:11When's the ceremony?
04:13Everyone was looking at me.
04:15Except Caleb.
04:16Don't rush her.
04:18You're making her shy.
04:19Though if the date's already set, you must have known him a long time.
04:23Must be love.
04:26We met two weeks ago.
04:29He's steady.
04:30He treats me well.
04:32So I said yes.
04:34The hall detonator.
04:35And then the queen's eyebrows went up.
04:38Across the room, Caleb sat felt upright.
04:42The shock on his face was too big to hide.
04:45I'd asked him for his birthmark.
04:47I told him I wanted the Paxier to read our bond.
04:52I wanted poop.
04:54Something to hold on to.
04:56I told him I wanted an answer.
04:58Relief crossed his face.
05:00Then something darker.
05:02Even now, with his faded mate at his side,
05:06he still thought I was going to be his shadow.
05:11Congratulations, Allura.
05:13When's the ceremony?
05:14We'd like to send gifts.
05:16Three days from now.
05:18A small gathering at my family's estate.
05:21Though, honestly, I thought...
05:24Thought what?
05:25I thought Allura was waiting for someone.
05:28The way she used to trail after Caleb.
05:32We all thought she'd die unmated before she took anyone else.
05:36The room went still.
05:38Caleb, Allura's getting mated.
05:41You two go back.
05:42Don't you have anything to say?
05:44Caleb didn't even raise his eyes.
05:48That was a long time ago.
05:51Four words.
05:52A sharp pain shot through my chest.
05:55I laughed before I could stop myself.
05:58My eyes were wet.
06:00They didn't know it was never me chasing him.
06:03He came for me first.
06:05I never want another wolf as long as he lived.
06:09Once my position is secure, I will name you as my Luna.
06:14Chosen bond or not.
06:17He said it wouldn't matter.
06:19But we were never public.
06:21So everyone just assumed I was pathetic.
06:26Enough.
06:27Let the past rest.
06:30To Allura, may she find a good mate.
06:35To Alpha Caleb and Vivian.
06:38May the moon bless their bond.
06:41Glasses rang against each other.
06:45Caleb pulled Vivian against his side.
06:48His scent wrapped around her.
06:51Claiming her in front of every wolf in the hall.
06:55Vivian.
06:56It's late.
06:58I'm taking you home.
07:00I stood alone.
07:01A rainy night.
07:03Eight years ago.
07:05Rogues came for him.
07:07I stepped in front of the silver blade without thinking.
07:10The blood wouldn't stop.
07:12His eyes went red.
07:14He told me he'd make me the happiest woman alive.
07:18My hand went to my left shoulder.
07:21The scar didn't hurt anymore.
07:23Just like his promises.
07:26Dawn had barely broken.
07:28I heard the footsteps I knew by heart outside my door.
07:35I know the masquerade upset you.
07:38But you can't throw around lies about taking a mate.
07:41I didn't lie.
07:43It was just a show.
07:45Don't gamble your whole life because you're angry.
07:49Drop the mating story.
07:50It'll stick to both of us.
07:54I don't say things I don't mean.
07:56The date is set.
07:58I know you're hurt.
08:02Give me two more years.
08:04Let me settle things.
08:07I'll name you my Luna.
08:09Fated or not.
08:12I almost laughed.
08:14He'd said the same thing two years ago.
08:17In his head, I had endless two-year blocks to burn.
08:21Now he had a faded mate.
08:23And he still thought I'd wait in the shadows.
08:26Caleb.
08:27I've run out of time.
08:29He stared at me.
08:31There's something I've been meaning to tell you.
08:34The truth is...
08:35Alpha.
08:37Lady Vivian is unwell.
08:39She's asking for you.
08:39He turned and walked out.
08:42I'll check on her.
08:43We'll finish this when I get back.
08:46He couldn't even pretend to choose me for one more minute.
08:50His wolf wouldn't let him.
08:52That was what being faded meant.
08:55Two hours later, Caleb walked through the hall with Vivian on his arm.
09:01Caleb, I'm so sorry to impose.
09:05Don't worry about it.
09:06Stay as long as you need.
09:08He pushed open the door to my chambers.
09:11The room had been stripped bare.
09:14Every trace of me gone.
09:18Quieter than I expected.
09:21A little empty.
09:22There used to be whiskey on his desk.
09:25There used to be whiskey on his desk.
09:25A silver charm I'd forged for him.
09:29Now there was nothing.
09:30Caleb stood in the middle of the empty chamber.
09:34Something inside him went hollow.
09:37Vivian held it up between two fingers.
09:40Alpha, this pendant is beautiful.
09:42Who was it for?
09:44Caleb didn't speak.
09:46I love it.
09:48Let me wear it at the mating ceremony.
09:51Caleb snapped back.
09:53Took the pendant from her hand.
09:56If you want something, I'll have the best silversmiths make you whatever you want.
10:00Any design.
10:02Vivian's smile froze.
10:05Who is she?
10:06It's Allura.
10:08Isn't it?
10:09Caleb said nothing.
10:11Caleb.
10:11He turned away from her.
10:13Do you know why my family left the royal territory?
10:18Because I saw the way you looked at her.
10:21I knew if I stayed, I'd have to watch you choose her over whatever I was.
10:26She stared at him.
10:28She wiped her eyes.
10:30So I ran.
10:32I Alphas came courting every season.
10:35I turned down every one of them.
10:38But I've always only wanted you.
10:41Then the masquerade.
10:42Your wolf found me through the mask.
10:45The king sealed it in front of the court.
10:48I finally had my answer.
10:50You were mine.
10:52The moon said so.
10:53I thought I could finally have you.
10:56The one you care about is me.
11:01Not her.
11:06Isn't that right?
11:10She's at her family's estate.
11:12Waiting for the ceremony.
11:14We agreed on it.
11:16Waiting?
11:18She stood in that hall and told everyone she's mating a stranger she met two weeks ago.
11:26Every wolf in the room heard it.
11:29Caleb still thought I was going to marry him.
11:32He thought I was angry that he still hadn't named me his Luna.
11:35Wake up, Caleb.
11:38Wake up, Caleb.
11:38She doesn't...
11:39Vivian.
11:41What's between me and Alara has nothing to do with you.
11:47If you have other ideas, you can't stay here.
11:51Vivian froze.
11:53I...
11:54I...
11:55I...
11:59I'll have rooms arranged.
12:01Tell the housekeeper if you need anything.
12:03Vivian stood there a long moment.
12:05Then pulled her mouth into a thin smile.
12:08I overstepped.
12:10I'm sorry.
12:12Don't worry.
12:14The moment my mother arrives, I'll be gone.
12:25After that, Caleb stopped sleeping.
12:28Caleb thought back on everything.
12:30His parents were not portable.
12:33From nothing to Alpha.
12:35I was the one who got him there.
12:37I am pure blood.
12:39Noble.
12:40I made him what he is.
12:41What Vivian had to offer was just the pull in his chest.
12:47Caleb couldn't carve his ball out at the front.
12:49I could.
12:51Every time he was cornered,
12:54it was my kin who closed in behind him.
12:56Of course he fell for me.
12:59Because I gave him everything I had.
13:07But it still wasn't enough.
13:09He had to prove something that he wasn't less.
13:13So he kept stalling.
13:15Kept making excuses.
13:17Until his wolf bowed to Vivian on the masquerade floor.
13:22And he let it.
13:24He hadn't brought me honey cakes in years.
13:28Hadn't asked if my scar ached in the cold.
13:31He sent letters to the Blackthorn estate.
13:34Everyone came back unopened.
13:36Then he heard the maids whispering outside the manor walls.
13:41Come on.
13:42The Blackthorn girl is mating today.
13:44Let's go catch some of the luck.
13:46Okay.
13:48Caleb froze.
13:50He shifted into his womb.
13:52And ran for my estate.
13:54He tore through the great hall.
13:57And saw me.
13:59A bride in white silk.
14:03Moonstone at my throat.
14:05Moonstone at my throat.
14:13Alara.
14:14Stop.
14:16My feet paused.
14:17I turned.
14:19Caleb's eyes locked onto mine.
14:21The hall fell into whispers.
14:24The one you're supposed to mate is me.
14:28His eyes were red.
14:30He walked toward me one step.
14:32You've been my chosen mate for eight years.
14:37How can you bond with someone else?
14:40A servant tried to block him.
14:43Caleb shoved him aside without looking.
14:45Alpha, this is my daughter's mating day.
14:50My father stepped in front of me.
14:53Show some respect.
14:55Respect.
14:56Caleb laughed, ugly and raw.
14:59I protected her for eight years.
15:01I waited eight years.
15:05Lord Blackthorne, this mating, mating camp.
15:09Every eye in the hall landed on me.
15:12My chest didn't move.
15:14Then Vivian's voice from the doorway.
15:17She came in on a maid's arm, steps quick.
15:20Quarry painted on just right.
15:28Caleb, why are you doing this?
15:30She turned to me, voice soft, every word a blade.
15:35Lady Allura, don't do this to yourself.
15:40Caleb's heart is yours.
15:43Why throw yourself away?
15:46Lady, I pushed my father's hand aside.
15:50Walked up to Caleb.
15:53You still think I'm throwing a tantrum.
15:56My hand went to my left shoulder.
16:00Eight years ago, rogues in the rain.
16:03Lady Allura, I took the silver blade for you.
16:09You held me after.
16:12Said you'd name me your Luna.
16:14Fated or not.
16:16Something cracked across his face.
16:19He tried to speak.
16:20I cut him off.
16:24I waited eight years.
16:28I got used to being strangers in public.
16:31Got used to being a shadow Luna with no name.
16:34And you, you let your wolf bow to Vivian in front of the entire court.
16:41Took the king's blessing.
16:44Pulled her against your side where every wolf of kingdom could see.
16:48Did you think about me even once?
16:54I didn't.
16:56Allura.
16:57I never meant to throw you away.
17:01The mating gifts are ready.
17:03I was going to name you my Luna at the full moon.
17:06All of it ready.
17:08He ripped the silver chain from around his neck.
17:12Look.
17:12This was part of it.
17:14My soul is yours.
17:16The moon can see it.
17:17Please.
17:18One more chance.
17:20I'll name you my Luna tonight.
17:23Right now.
17:24I snapped my hand back.
17:26This late promise.
17:27It meant nothing.
17:29The scar doesn't hurt anymore.
17:32Just like what I felt for you.
17:35Eight years burned it out.
17:38I don't want your late promise.
17:40I don't want your rushed gift.
17:44Valerius suddenly appeared.
17:46Standing in front of me.
17:48Alpha.
17:48This is my bonding with Allura.
17:52She's mine now.
17:54He stood next to me.
17:56We matched the way the Whispers had said we would.
17:59She's been my chosen mate for eight years.
18:01You don't get a say.
18:03A say?
18:07If you cared about her, why hide her for eight years?
18:11At the masquerade, you let your wolf bow to Vivian.
18:15You took the king's blessing.
18:17Did you think once about what that did to her?
18:22She took silver for you, waited eight years, and you looked straight through her.
18:29Now she's found better.
18:31And you come here screaming.
18:34What makes you think you get to ask her to turn around?
18:41I didn't.
18:44Allura.
18:45I never meant to throw you away.
18:48The mating gifts are ready.
18:50I was going to name you my Luna at the full moon.
18:54All of it ready.
18:55He ripped the silver chain from around his neck.
18:59Look.
19:00This was part of it.
19:01My soul is yours.
19:03The moon can see it.
19:04Please.
19:05One more chance.
19:07I'll name you my Luna tonight.
19:10Right now.
19:11I snapped my hand back.
19:13This late promise, it meant nothing.
19:16The scar doesn't hurt anymore.
19:19Just like what I felt for you.
19:22Eight years burned it out.
19:25I don't want your late promise.
19:28I don't want your rushed gift.
19:31Valerius suddenly appeared.
19:33Valerius standing in front of me.
19:35Alpha.
19:36This is my bonding with Allura.
19:39She's mine now.
19:41He stood next to me.
19:43We matched the way the whispers had said we would.
19:46She's been my chosen mate for eight years.
19:48You don't get a say.
19:51A say?
19:54If you cared about her, why hide her for eight years?
19:58At the masquerade, you let your wolf bow to Vivian.
20:03You took the king's blessing.
20:04Did you think once about what that did to her?
20:10She took silver for you.
20:12Waited eight years.
20:14And you looked straight through her.
20:16Now she's found better.
20:18And you come here screaming.
20:21What makes you think you get to ask her to turn around?
20:28And you come here screaming.
20:31What makes you think you get to ask her to turn around?
20:36Caleb lost what was left of his control.
20:40Shoved Valerius.
20:46Valora.
20:48Come with me.
20:49I'm the one who can give you a future.
20:52Valerius caught his wrist first.
20:54Twisted.
20:56Enough.
20:58These eight years were a show.
21:00Mine alone.
21:02You hid me.
21:04I let you.
21:05You told me to wait.
21:07I waited.
21:09The show's over.
21:11Nothing left between us.
21:15I took Valerius' arm.
21:18He guided me toward the moon altar.
21:22I could feel Caleb's eyes on me.
21:25Burning.
21:26Broken.
21:27For the first time,
21:29he tasted what regret actually felt like.
21:33Vivian rushed up.
21:35Caleb.
21:36Don't be like this.
21:38Alara doesn't deserve you.
21:39You still have me.
21:40Caleb shoved her off.
21:45His eyes didn't leave my back.
21:48I lost her.
21:51Vivian stood there.
21:53Valerius marked me under the moon altar.
21:56At the same hour,
21:58Caleb was walking back to his manor on foot.
22:02He pushed open the door and stopped.
22:07Everything I'd ever done for him was still there.
22:17He pushed open the door and stopped.
22:23Everything I'd ever done for him was still there.
22:28A cuff on his nightstand.
22:30I'd been working on it for weeks.
22:32The matching one was already on his wrist.
22:34The leather coat I'd had tailored for him
22:37for the Alpha Council last winter.
22:40Still hanging where I'd left it.
22:42Every corner of the room was me.
22:44But I was nowhere in it.
22:46Vivian had followed him back to the manor.
22:49She stood in the middle of his chambers.
22:51Couldn't hold her tongue.
22:52Caleb.
22:54You're an Alpha.
22:56Alara was never your equal.
23:00A noble that high.
23:03You were never going to matter to her house.
23:06And she humiliated you in front of every pack in the city.
23:11I'm your fated mate.
23:13The moon chose us.
23:15It was always supposed to be me.
23:17Caleb took her hand.
23:18Held it a breath.
23:20Let it go.
23:21Vivian.
23:22I never wanted the moon's choice.
23:25I wanted the wolf who took a silver blade for me.
23:28Who waited eight years.
23:31The one I threw away with my own hands.
23:33Vivian went white.
23:35She stumbled out of his chambers.
23:39After she was gone.
23:41Caleb lost whatever was holding him up.
23:44He dropped onto the edge of the bed.
23:48Picked up the cuff.
23:50Every small thing he'd looked through for eight years came back at once.
23:58The year he came home from a border campaign burning with silver fever.
24:03I stayed at his side three nights without sleeping.
24:06Kept his wolf stable while the poison worked out.
24:09His mother's old pack lands came up for dispute.
24:13My family's name is what kept them in his hands.
24:16He never knew that.
24:17I never told him.
24:18The alpha council turned on him twice.
24:21Both times.
24:22My kin closed ranks behind him before the vote.
24:25Both times.
24:26He thought he'd won it alone.
24:28And him.
24:29My birthday came around every year.
24:32I hoped he'd come to the feast.
24:34Sit at my side for one night.
24:37Open me.
24:38Every year.
24:39Council business.
24:41Border patrols.
24:42A silver pendant sent by runner.
24:45And nothing else.
24:46Each memory was a blade going in.
24:49Caleb dropped his face into his hands.
24:52His shoulders shook.
24:53He hated his own selfishness.
24:56Hated the stallion.
24:57Hated the eight years he'd spent looking through me.
25:00All of it.
25:01He'd earned.
25:03Life after the bonding was quiet.
25:06In a way I'd forgotten quiet could be.
25:09Valerius was good to me.
25:10In the small things most alphas never think about.
25:13He knew my scar ached when the weather turned.
25:16He kept a salve within reach before I ever asked.
25:20He knew I liked honey cakes.
25:22So he learned to make them himself.
25:24He spoke my name at council sessions.
25:26In front of every alpha in the kingdom.
25:28Let me stand at his side without hiding what I was to him.
25:32Three years passed like that.
25:35Caleb didn't let go.
25:37First he came to the Blackthorn Estates.
25:39Stood at the gates.
25:41Waited for a glimpse of me.
25:42My father had given the guards orders.
25:45He never got past the law.
25:46Then.
25:47Eyes bloodshot.
25:48A runner came in one morning.
25:50Said Caleb had stood outside the gates the whole night.
25:53Half of it in the rain.
25:55Still wouldn't leave.
25:55I answered with a nod.
25:57Went back to my book.
25:59I thought he'd give up.
26:00Instead he got worse.
26:04Afternoon Valerius and I were in the library when I heard Caleb's voice through the walls.
26:10Alera.
26:10I know you're in there.
26:13Come out.
26:14Come out.
26:14Just once.
26:15One look.
26:17Valerius's hand paused over the page.
26:19He looked at me.
26:21I shook my head.
26:22Let him do what he wants.
26:24Nothing about us has to move for him.
26:26But Caleb was an alpha.
26:28No one had the nerve to truly stop him.
26:30He forced his way in.
26:32Locked onto me the second he saw me.
26:34Like I was the last rope left.
26:36Alera.
26:37I know I was wrong.
26:40I know now.
26:41He pulled open his collar.
26:43Right over.
26:43Some nights I can't even shift.
26:45The bond with her is gone.
26:47Severed.
26:48There's no going back.
26:51Alera.
26:52Take me back.
26:54Please.
26:55Take me back.
26:57Valerius stood up.
26:58Put me behind him.
27:00Alpha.
27:02Alera is my Luna.
27:03You don't erase that in three.
27:22Alera.
27:23Look at me.
27:24Please.
27:27I'll do it right this time.
27:29Name you in front of every pack.
27:31Tonight.
27:32Tomorrow.
27:33Whenever you say.
27:35If he'd said this eight years ago, I would have wept.
27:38Caleb.
27:39I'm Valerius' Luna.
27:41That's not changing.
27:43Not this life.
27:44Not the next.
27:45I turned.
27:47Took Valerius' arm.
27:48Walked out of the lightroom.
27:50Left Caleb's shouting behind me.
27:53Later I heard the rest from Valerius.
27:55Do you know anything about Caleb?
27:56Caleb had done the rejection ritual under the full moon.
27:59In front of his own pack.
28:01The bond with Vivian was cut clean.
28:04Then he went to the king.
28:06Asked him to take back the blessing.
28:08Kindly take back the worst.
28:09To let him name me his Luna publicly.
28:11The Lycan king was furious.
28:14The faded pair the crown had braced.
28:16Thrown back in the moon's face.
28:19The queen called it a disgrace.
28:21The king refused him.
28:22Stripped him instead.
28:24Half his pack was taken.
28:26Absorbed by older bloodlines.
28:27He'd been waiting for an excuse.
28:29His alpha rank was lowered two notches in front of the council.
28:32The alphas who used to bow when he walked in stopped acknowledging him in the halls.
28:36His own beta started looking past him.
28:38The alpha who'd been the greatest rising name in the kingdom became a joke.
28:42In the end, the king sent him to the northern wastes.
28:45Rogue territory.
28:46The kind of posting younger sons were sent to die at.
28:53Sometimes Valerius would bring me word of him.
28:55He drank.
28:56He looked more wolf than man.
28:58Saturday on the keep walls at night and howled at the moon.
29:01Whispered my name when he thought no one could hear.
29:03Eight years ago, he'd let go of my hand himself.
29:06Now he was paying for it.
29:08Valerius loved me the way people in storybooks loved each other.
29:11In details.
29:12Not declarations.
29:13In the third year, the king and queen held a court banquet.
29:17Valerius brought me with him.
29:19A familiar figure crossed my sight through the crowd.
29:22Caleb.
29:23Thinner than before.
29:25Cheeks sunk.
29:26Eyes bloodshot.
29:27All the sharp edges worn down to dust.
29:29He was back in the capital to report to the crown.
29:32That was the only way he would have been in that hall.
29:35His eyes found me across the room.
29:39Guilt.
29:40Longing.
29:40Something that wasn't quite given up.
29:43Valerius felt the shift in me.
29:44Slid his arm around my waist.
29:46Put himself between us without making it look like he did.
29:50Caleb stopped mid-step.
29:51Saw Valerius' hand on me.
29:53Bizarre fingers threaded together.
29:56He didn't come closer.
29:57Halfway through the banquet, Valerius and I rose to make a round of toasts.
30:01Our path took us past Caleb.
30:32As we passed, his body gave a small shake.
30:33In the third year, the king and queen held a court banquet.

30:54His eyes found me across the room.
30:58Guilt.
30:59Longing.
31:00Something that wasn't quite given up.
31:02Valerius felt the shift in me.
31:03Slid his arm around my waist.
31:05Put himself between us without making it look like he did.
31:09Caleb stopped mid-step.
31:11Saw Valerius' hand on me.
31:13Zarr fingers threaded together.
31:15He didn't come closer.
31:16Halfway through the banquet, Valerius and I rose to make a round of toasts.
31:21Our path took us past Caleb.
31:23As we passed, his body gave a small shake.
31:25His lips moved.
31:27Nothing came out.
