01:00The first one to bear my heir becomes the first lady
01:15Not long after the other women in the surrogacy program started getting pregnant one by one
01:20I was the last one to find out I was pregnant
01:23Once I have this baby, I'll take the money and go
01:26First lady?
01:27Nah, that's not in the cards for me
01:29Nurse?
01:30Doctor?
01:30Surrogate number one just had her baby, it's a boy
01:33Leah, guess that locks up the first lady spot for her
01:36The second the president saw the kid, he had her and the baby kicked out
01:39Said the baby she had was some other guy's bastard
01:41Wait, she actually hooked up with someone else during the surrogacy program?
01:44I thought it was just number one being crazy enough to try it
01:47But then, one by one, the other women had their babies
01:49The president took one look at each and knew they weren't his
01:52Every last one of them got kicked out
01:54Take your bastard and get lost
01:55Sorry, Mr. President, just give me another chance
01:57I swear I can give you a child
01:58Before I knew it, it was the day I went into labor
02:03Come on, push!
02:04Give it everything!
02:05Baby's almost here!
02:06Tear!
02:13One last push!
02:14Come on, you can do it!
02:16The baby's here!
02:17A healthy baby!
02:21Monster!
02:22Monster!
02:25What's wrong?
02:29What the hell?
02:31I just gave birth to...
02:32Dog pups?
02:34How does a woman give birth to dogs?
02:36Oh no, this is bad
02:38The president won't even need a test
02:40No!
02:41Just one look and he'll know this isn't his
02:43I'm definitely getting kicked out now
02:45And the money?
02:47Gone
02:50What's going on here?
02:59What should I do?
03:00What should I do?
03:09Where's my baby?
03:15Tell me, where is my child?
03:17Mr. President, I'm so sorry
03:19I let you down
03:21Sorry for what?
03:22I lied
03:25I wasn't pregnant
03:26That wasn't a baby coming out
03:28That was a massive, toxic, waist-level crap
03:32One whiff and the guy dropped like a fly
03:36A fake pregnancy?
03:38So you mean my whole medical team
03:39can't tell if a woman's pregnant or not?
03:41That's because I was so desperate
03:43to get pregnant with your baby
03:44I took all kinds of hormone shots
03:46and it made me look pregnant
03:47Today I just ate too much
03:49and had to go
03:53What was that sound?
04:01Mr. President!
04:02You should stay back!
04:03I just went
04:04It's pretty rank
04:05So I skipped a budget hearing
04:07and a National Security Council meeting
04:09and waited two hours here
04:11just for you to take a clap?
04:13Mr. President
04:14I really didn't mean for this to happen
04:17Just give me more time
04:18I promise I'll get pregnant with your baby
04:21I won't waste my sperm on you anymore
04:24But what about the surrogacy money?
04:26After playing me like this
04:27You'll work as a cleaner in the White House
04:29until you've paid off your debt
04:31What?
04:35No money
04:36and now I'm stuck working for free
04:38What a joke
04:39You two little troublemakers
04:41You totally screwed me
04:42If it weren't for you
04:44who knows
04:44maybe I'd be first lady now
04:52Okay, that doesn't sound like any dog I've ever heard
04:54Eh, whatever
04:55But hey, you're mine, right?
05:00You guys hungry?
05:01You hungry?
05:12Wait, you don't want to
05:13nurse, do you?
05:17Alright, fine
05:18Breastfeeding a couple of dogs
05:20I guess that's just what happens
05:21when you're their mom
05:26Drink up
05:31Now that's what I call my kids
05:32Already drinking in style
05:34You two are going places
05:36Looks like mom's retirement plan
05:38is riding on you little fur balls now
05:42What the hell?
05:43I mean, I was definitely
05:44implanted with the president's sperm
05:46So how the hell did I end up with puppies?
05:51Whose dog is this?
05:53You hurt?
05:54Hey, easy now
05:55I won't bite
05:56Wow
05:57I've never seen a dog
05:58as big as you before
06:01Could it be
06:02him?
06:04Nah
06:04I'm definitely going crazy
06:12Mommy, hug
06:16You two?
06:17We're the puppies?
06:18How do puppies just turn into kids?
06:19And they're already big and can talk
06:21What kind of freak show did I give birth to?
06:23Mommy!
06:25Their cheeks are soft and warm
06:27Feels just like regular kids
06:31Mommy hugs
06:32Okay, okay
06:35Mommy's good babies
06:37Puppy kids, whatever
06:38You're mine and that's all that matters
06:43Those two little monsters eat more every day
06:45This might just last them one day
06:48What, they're not feeding you enough at the White House?
06:50I just don't want to waste anything
06:52You're always talking about saving food
06:54So I'm supporting you
06:56Just focus on paying off your debt
06:57Don't try anything cute
07:00I get it
07:08Broke, do you think Mom will be mad that we snucked out?
07:11Mom worked so hard for us
07:12We gotta get her a gift
07:15I think I smell
07:16Dad
07:17Mom worked so hard for us
07:21Mom worked so hard for us
07:24Mom worked so hard for us
07:27Mom worked so hard for us
07:31Mom worked so hard for us
07:32Mom worked so hard for us
07:33Mom worked so hard for us
07:34Mom worked so hard for us
07:35Mom worked so hard for us
07:35Mom worked so hard for us
07:35Mom worked so hard for us
07:36Mom worked so hard for us
07:36Mom worked so hard for us
07:36Mom worked so hard for us
07:38Mom worked so hard for us
07:41Mom worked so hard for us
07:46Hello?
08:03Stop right there.
08:05Mrs. Olivia.
08:07So, a small town girl with a high school diploma who can't even tell which fork to use, what makes
08:13you think you're qualified?
08:16Quick qualified? What makes you deserve to stand by his side?
08:20It took me three years to get where I am.
08:22Three years of crisis, of staying up with him through countless nights, and you?
08:25You just lay around for a few months, spread your legs, and that's it?
08:28I never thought of it that way.
08:31Remember your place, janitor.
08:33Once your debt is paid, get the hell out of the White House.
08:37Mrs. Olivia, classified documents are missing from the Oval Office.
08:40What?
08:42Which thief has the guts to steal from the presidential office?
08:46Hey, babies. Mommy's home.
08:50Mommy!
08:51We got you a present.
08:52A present?
08:54What kind of present could you two little rascals have for me?
09:00Mommy.
09:02Here.
09:03Take this.
09:05The presidential seal?
09:06The nuclear button briefcase?
09:08No, no!
09:16So you two are the crazy little thieves?
09:18How could you steal this stuff?
09:21We were just looking for food for Mommy.
09:24We found it in some room.
09:25This ring is so pretty, Mommy.
09:27You should wear it.
09:29Oh no, oh no.
09:31We are so screwed.
09:33Code red.
09:34Locked in the White House.
09:35Search every room.
09:36Not one corner gets missed.
09:38Oh my god.
09:39If the president finds out it was these two pups who stole it, we're done for.
09:44Mr. President, we've searched every other room in the White House.
09:46This is the last one the maid's quarters.
09:49Open the door.
09:55There they are.
09:57Right here.
09:59Oh my god.
10:00Caught red-handed.
10:01I'm definitely going to jail.
10:03Leah Cole, wire my presidential seal and the nuclear Bolton briefcase in your room.
10:08Mr. President, I don't know anything.
10:12I went to work early this morning and when I got back, these things were just here.
10:17It must be the real thief.
10:18They probably realized they couldn't get out of the White House so they dumped the stuff
10:21in my room to throw everyone off or set me up.
10:24That lie is full of holes.
10:26Your room is so remote.
10:27Which thief would just happen to come here?
10:30You're obviously the one who stole it, you little lying bitch.
10:33Just tell the truth already.
10:34Ma'am, look at me.
10:35I'm just someone who cleans here.
10:36Why would I steal something like that?
10:38I've got no motive.
10:39Mr. President, don't forget.
10:41This woman already faked a pregnancy and lied to you.
10:44When she got caught, she held a grudge.
10:46I wouldn't be surprised if she's been bought off by your political enemies.
10:48That's why she stole the presidential seal and the nuclear button briefcase.
10:52To set you up and destroy your reputation.
10:54Tell me, who put you up to this?
10:56Was it that wig-wearing senator next door?
10:58I swear, I didn't.
11:01Mr. President, this woman is too calculating.
11:03Keeping her around you is a ticking time bomb.
11:05I think we should charge her with espionage and throw her in prison right now.
11:10No, I'm not a spy. I swear.
11:12Then let's do it in your way.
11:20Oh my god.
11:23Get down from there. Now. That's the president.
11:26Do you have any idea about how much his shoes cost?
11:35What the hell is that filthy thing?
11:41You dirty bitch.
11:42You didn't clean properly, so you attracted these strays.
11:45Someone, kill these animals. Throw them in the trash.
11:47No!
11:52Mr. President, they're just two stray dogs with nowhere to go.
11:56I felt bad for them, so I've been hiding them here.
11:58They're like my own kids.
11:59I'm just a single mom trying to raise two little ones. It's hard enough.
12:02Please, don't hurt them.
12:04I swear I'll train them to use the toilet.
12:05And they won't chew up your shoes.
12:09Mr. President!
12:10These are clearly wolf cubs, but she's raising them like dogs.
12:14And weird thing is, holding this little guy gives me a strange feeling like I've seen him somewhere before.
12:20You really like them, huh?
12:24Well, duh. They're my kids. Of course I like them.
12:28Yes! They're adorable!
12:30Please just let me keep them.
12:32I swear they won't bite, won't make a mess.
12:34I'll even put diapers on them if I have to.
12:39Too bad they're just regular wolf pups.
12:41Wish they were werewolves.
12:43This ends here.
12:44No one speaks of this.
12:46Thank you, Mr. President.
12:59We're finally gone.
13:01You two little rascals best behave from now on.
13:04If you pull something like that again,
13:06I swear I'll hand you over to Olivia.
13:09You can be her little hand warmers.
13:24Mr. President, I checked it out.
13:26Not to stray as the woman brought them to the hospital.
13:27But where they actually came from,
13:29that I couldn't trace.
13:31No way she secretly had two puppies while she was in the hospital.
13:35So why lie?
13:37I wasn't pregnant.
13:39That wasn't a baby coming out.
13:40That was a massive, toxic, waist-level crap.
13:44One wick, and the guy dropped like a fly.
13:50Find the doctor who delivered her baby.
13:53Yes, sir.
14:04Hey, easy now.
14:06I won't bite.
14:07But wow, I've never seen a dog as big as you before.
14:13What is that woman hiding?
14:18Mr. President, she was the one on delivery duty that day.
14:22Tell me, what did you see when that woman gave birth?
14:27I didn't see anything.
14:32Tell the truth.
14:33Okay, okay, I'll talk.
14:34I saw that she didn't give birth to a baby.
14:37She gave birth of two puppies.
14:40And then I passed out from shock.
14:44You're saying she gave birth to two wolf pops?
14:47Yes, I swear.
14:48Every word is true.
14:49I've never seen a woman give birth to puppies before.
14:52So that's it.
14:54Yesterday was so weird.
14:55Stealing the presidential seal and the nuclear button briefcase
14:57is supposed to be a one-way ticket to prison.
14:59But he totally let me off.
15:01And he even touched my pups.
15:02Maybe he likes dogs too?
15:04Get the cages ready.
15:05I'm getting those mutts out of the White House today.
15:15Quick, hide.
15:21What are kids' dishes doing here?
15:23Those are for feeding my dogs.
15:26Feeding dogs?
15:27With people's dishes?
15:29Leah Cole, this is the White House.
15:31Not your trailer park.
15:32Now hand over those mutts.
15:34The president said I could keep them.
15:37The president runs a country.
15:38You think he remembers some low-life stray dogs?
15:42Search the place.
15:43Find those little beasts.
15:45I'm throwing them out myself.
16:03You think I don't know what you're doing?
16:06Playing the poor girl with two dogs
16:08so the president takes notice of you?
16:11Let me tell you something.
16:12You're not even fit to tie his shoes.
16:16There, you little bastard dog!
16:20Grab them.
16:23Stray dogs dare to bite-bite?
16:25Kill them!
16:26Do it now!
16:29No!
16:31Hit her.
16:44Don't move.
16:45You forgot what you promised Mommy yesterday.
16:50Promise me.
16:52Never shift in front of anyone else
16:54or it'll bring trouble to us.
16:57Okay, Mommy.
16:59Mommy.
17:02What are you waiting for?
17:03Pull those little beasts out!
17:06No!
17:07Don't hurt my kids!
17:10Kids?
17:10What kids?
17:17Leah Cole,
17:18have you lost your mind
17:19wanting to be first ladies so bad
17:21you actually think
17:22two stray dogs are your kids?
17:24You can't have a real baby
17:25so you're raising mutts as substitutes?
17:28You're disgusting!
17:29You'd throw away
17:30every shred of dignity
17:31just to be first lady?
17:34You scheming little bitch.
17:36I'm not letting you stick around.
17:39I'm gonna make you watch
17:40these little beasts die.
17:42Throw these stray dogs
17:43in the cage
17:43and kill them!
17:45No!
17:45I'm gonna make you lose sight.
17:46Get down!
17:50Hey!
17:53Babies!
17:54Don't be scared.
17:56Mommy's here.
17:57What are you waiting for?
17:58Hit her too!
17:59Beat her until she stops moving!
18:01Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada
18:31I made it clear she's allowed to keep these two here. Why do you bring people to hurt them?
18:35Mr. President, you misunderstand. I was worried about rabies. What if they pose a risk to you?
18:39I was just going to have them checked out and bring them back.
18:44She's... she's lying. She just wanted to kill my dogs.
18:47Sorry I'm late.
18:56These two are cleaner than the bottom of your shoes.
19:18Oh my god. The president? The president is holding me? What kind of script is this?
19:25He saved me? And he's being... gentle? Am I hallucinating from getting beat up?
19:33Olivia, since you care so much about the pets running around the White House, security's looking for someone to walk
19:37the dogs, you'd be perfect.
19:39Mr. President, I just didn't think it through. But I was only worried about your safety.
19:44You too. Are you here to protect me or are you Olivia's personal bodyguards?
19:48Mr. President, we...
19:49If you can't figure out who signs your checks, I'll send you somewhere you'll learn fast.
19:52They're short on people in the Middle East.
19:54You leave tomorrow.
19:56See what a real field assignment looks like.
19:58Mr. President, we're sorry. Please, give us another chance!
20:01Mr. President, this young lady has extensive bruising and contusions on her back.
20:05I've already disinfected the area. Just needs oint applied regularly.
20:09I'll do it.
20:16Um, maybe I should just do it myself? I mean, your hands are for signing treaties, not for...
20:22Oh my God! The President just touched me! Why is he being so nice to me?
20:26We've only known each other for a few days. Is he... is he up to something?
20:35I promise you, what happened today will never happen again.
20:39Thank you for saving me, Mr. President.
20:43Come in!
20:45Mr. President, about what happened today, it was my mistake. I hope you can forgive me.
20:51Olivia, I've never doubted your work.
20:53But you need to understand, my personal life is none of your business.
20:58Yes, sir.
21:00From today on, Leah Cole is no longer a cleaner. Move her into the room next to mine.
21:05What?
21:06And one more thing. The White House Correspondents' Dinner is the day after tomorrow.
21:10Leah will attend as my girlfriend. We're making it official.
21:13Girlfriend? Girlfriend? Mr. President?
21:17This... this isn't right. I'm just a cleaner. I...
21:21No one deserves it more than you.
21:23What is wrong with this man? Did someone drug him? I mean, okay, he's hot and the body's not bad,
21:28but this is too fast. I am not ready for this.
21:30Mr. President, every major media outlet will be at that dinner. Announcing a surrogate as your girlfriend out of nowhere
21:35is reckless. If they dig into her background, your reputation...
21:38Then this is a test of your public relations skills, Olivia. I'm sure you'll do a great job with the
21:42dinner party.
21:45Too bad he doesn't know. These two little ones are his own flesh and blood.
21:50Only these two pups are truly mine. None of those women bore my seed, but no one can know I'm
21:56a werewolf. Their real identity has to stay hidden for now.
22:06Ms. Cole, this is your room. If you need anything, just call me.
22:17Okay, come out, babies.
22:22Mommy!
22:26My good babies.
22:30Kids? You're sure the maid heard right? Positive. Two kids, four or five years old, called her mommy.
22:36Ah, got it. This bitch makes a living by spreading her legs for surrogacy.
22:41Those brats are probably leftovers from some job. Baby data ran off. No one wanted them, so she got stuck
22:45with them.
22:46Then we should tell the president. Let him know she's got two kids in tow. He'll dump her for sure.
22:49That's too easy for her.
22:51Tomorrow is the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Every media outlet in the country will be there.
22:56I'm gonna destroy her in front of everyone.
22:58She'll crawl out of the White House in shame.
23:02Mommy's going to a dinner tonight. You two stay here, sleep tight, and no sneaking out. Got it?
23:09Got it, Mommy. Bye-bye, Mommy.
23:17Mr. President, we hear you're announcing something big tonight.
23:21Any hints? You'll know soon enough.
23:34Who is she?
23:35I don't remember any first lady looking that young and gorgeous.
23:37Maybe some European princess? She's got that kind of vibe.
23:40Whoever she is, tomorrow's front page is locked.
23:57You look stunning tonight. Shall we dance?
24:02Mr. President, I don't know how.
24:06Just follow my lead.
24:12Dancing with her? This is huge!
24:23No, no, no. Snap out of it, Leah.
24:25He's the president.
24:26Half the women in America would could kill to marry him.
24:28What makes you think a small-town janitor even stands a chance?
24:31Get a grip.
24:34Allow me to introduce my girlfriend, Leah Cole.
24:42He actually said it.
24:47Mr. President, what's Ms. Cole's background?
24:50How long have you two been together?
24:52How did you meet?
24:55Don't be afraid.
24:58My girlfriend is an ordinary girl.
25:00No noble background, no complicated past.
25:02She's clean. She's simple.
25:03I don't want my position to affect our relationship.
25:05I'm counting on all of you. Please, leave her alone.
25:10Ms. Cole, do you feel pressure being the president's girlfriend?
25:15I...
25:16How many boyfriends have you had before?
25:19I've never dated anyone.
25:20So that means the president is your first love.
25:28Sorry to interrupt you, Mr. President,
25:30but there are two children at the door.
25:32They say they're looking for their mother.
25:34I wasn't sure how to handle it
25:35because the person they're looking for,
25:36I didn't dare stop them.
25:40My babies!
25:46I stared wide-eyed, frozen in fear.
25:49Father, Alpha Heart,
25:51had pupupils glowing like molten fire,
25:53baring his fangs as he lulunged at his brother Damien.
25:57Only fierce snars filled the air.
25:59This was a cruel fight for the Alpha Throne,
26:02and the silver moonlight had long been stained red.
26:07Their powers collided.
26:08A shockwave ripped through the trees.
26:11Damien's body flied backwards,
26:13slammed into a boulder,
26:14and slided down, unconscious.
26:17My father stumbled.
26:19He dropped to one knee, gasping.
26:21Blood poured from deep wounds across his chest and arms.
26:26Daddy!
26:30Then, I stumbled out of the bushes
26:33and fell into my father's arms.
26:36He was weak, stroked my hair.
26:39Don't cry, my little moon.
26:42For the pack's peace,
26:44this is worth it.
26:45From now on,
26:47hide your name.
26:48Go with Beta Cole.
26:50He'll protect you.
26:52He gently pushed me away.
26:54Beta Cole lifted me.
26:55I cried out for my father.
26:58No! Daddy!
27:01Alpha Heart smiled.
27:02Eyes closed.
27:04A silver light emanated from his body,
27:07flooding the forest.
27:08My dad's last strength becomes a barrier
27:10to protect our pack and me.
27:12Thus, my wolf will stay sealed until 16.
27:16Later, I came to the Cole family.
27:18They treated me like their own,
27:20especially Adrian.
27:21On that day,
27:22sunlight glinted through the trees.
27:24Beta Cole carried me from the car.
27:26At the gate,
27:27Adrian, who was eight years old,
27:29ran towards us.
27:30He was gentle.
27:32Hi, I'm Adrian Cole.
27:34Dad said I have a little sister now.
27:36That's you?
27:37Selena.
27:39I'm Selena.
27:40Cole.
27:41Then I'll call you Lena.
27:43I'll protect you.
27:45I nodded, smiled through tears,
27:48our hands clasped tightly.
27:49I also remembered that day.
27:51My birthday in this home,
27:53Adrian placed a crystal crown on my head
27:55and kissed my cheek.
27:56Happy birthday, my princess.
27:58I closed my eyes and made a wish.
28:00I wish Adrian would be here.
28:02Every birthday.
28:04Always.
28:05One day, I was cornered by wolf boys,
28:08trembling with tears.
28:09You think a human can join us?
28:12Dream on.
28:14Adrian came charging from a distance
28:16and shoved the boys away fiercely.
28:18Touch my sister again?
28:21I'll rip out your throats.
28:23All of you.
28:24His eyes flashed gold.
28:26Then wolf boys froze.
28:27They scrambled away,
28:29tripped over each other.
28:31Adrian and I run through tall grass,
28:34laughing,
28:35out of breath.
28:36We collapsed,
28:37side by side,
28:38hands clasped,
28:39stared up at the moon.
28:41Selina,
28:41even if you're a human,
28:43my Luna could only be you.
28:45When I went to school,
28:46I wore the school uniform
28:47and stood beside the car.
28:49Adrian opened the car door
28:50and gently pulled me close
28:52to kiss my hair.
28:54Lena,
28:55the seat next to me
28:56will always be yours.
28:57I thought this happiness
28:58would last forever,
28:59until that girl,
29:00Lyra Shadow,
29:01appeared.
29:01The happy memories
29:02flashed backward,
29:03faster and faster.
29:04My snap to reality,
29:05I opened the passenger door
29:07of the luxury car.
29:08Lyra leaned against Adrian,
29:10laughed softly.
29:11Why is she coming home with us?
29:13Lyra's not feeling well,
29:15I'm just dropping her off.
29:16Adrian was impatient,
29:18as Lila shot me a look,
29:19poison.
29:20A smirk curled her lips.
29:22Then she draped herself
29:23around Adrian's neck,
29:24played weak.
29:25You said the seat next to you
29:28would always be mine.
29:29Childish.
29:30It's just a seat.
29:31Take the back today.
29:32Adrian gestured with his chin.
29:34I open the back door.
29:38I gasp in pain.
29:40Blood seep from my foot.
29:43Adrian!
29:44Walk home yourself.
29:45Don't make a scene.
29:51Suddenly, raindrops falled.
29:53Then a downpour.
29:55I hugged myself,
29:57shivered,
29:57stared at my bleeding foot
29:59with hollow eyes.
30:00Rain mixes with blood.
30:02My eyes fluttered closed.
30:05When I woke up again,
30:06I slowly opened my eyes.
30:08An IV drip ran into my arm.
30:11Then,
30:11Adrian rushed into the room
30:13in a panic.
30:14Adrian still cares about me.
30:15I thought.
30:16I sit up slightly,
30:17warmth flickered in my chest.
30:19Adrian had already at my bedside,
30:21his eyes burned with rage.
30:22So you told my dad Lyra pushed you.
30:24And now you fake being sick?
30:25You're the worst, Selene.
30:27I freezed.
30:28Before I could explain,
30:30Adrian grabbed my arm
30:31and yanked me out of bed.
30:32Wait!
30:33Adrian!
30:34I gasped
30:35as the needle ripped out of my arm.
30:37The IV dube whipped through the air.
30:39Blood beaded instantly on my skin.
30:42I stumbled and fall to my knees in pain.
30:45A streak of red ran down my arm.
30:47Adrian's anger cracked just for a moment.
30:50He stared at the wound.
30:51His breath catches.
30:52His fingers trickled slightly
30:54and almost reached for me.
30:55Selene,
30:57I'm-
30:57Adrian!
30:58Help!
30:59Adrian froze for half a second.
31:01Then his face hardened again.
31:03Lyra!
31:04He ran out urgently
31:05without a second glance at me.
31:07I clutched my bleeding arm,
31:09forced myself up.
31:10paled and tribbled.
31:12I followed him.
31:13Limped.
31:13Stumbled.
31:14Lyra was bound to the sofa.
31:16Tears streamed down her face.
31:17Fresh whip marked
31:18cover her arms and shoulders.
31:19Beta Cole stood over her.
31:21Whipped in hand,
31:22feared radiating from him.
31:23He raised the whip.
31:24Adrian bursted in
31:24and throwed himself
31:25in front of his father.
31:26Dad! Stop!
31:27Lyra's too fragile!
31:28Kill her!
31:28Step back!
31:30This is punishment for her!
31:31It's all my fault!
31:33Don't think I won't hit you, boy.
31:36The whip cracked down
31:38again and again.
31:39I stood in the doorway,
31:40watched.
31:41Grief tightened my face.
31:43My hands curled into fists.
31:46Beta Cole didn't stop
31:47until he sensed my watching.
31:49He looked at me,
31:50then gave a slight bow.
31:51Adrian seethed with resentment,
31:53turned on his father
31:54in a low, bitter voice.
31:55Why do you treat her like this?
31:57Ever since she came,
31:58our Alpha's gone
31:59and we've been hunted.
32:00She is a curse!
32:01Shut up, Adrian.
32:02You have no idea
32:03who you're talking to?
32:04Beta Cole dropped the whip
32:06and gestured for me to follow.
32:08We walked toward the study room.
32:10A tear traced silver
32:11down my cheek.
32:12Warm light filled the study.
32:14Surrounded by ancient books,
32:16I looked at Beta.
32:17Princess,
32:18we talked about you
32:19leaving or staying.
32:20I will leave for the trials,
32:23become Alpha,
32:24inherit my father's will,
32:26and protect our pack.
32:27Impressive.
32:28Truly,
32:29you are the daughter
32:30of Alpha Heart.
32:31I lowered my head slightly,
32:33nervous but unwavering.
32:34Once your status is restored,
32:36you will no longer enjoy
32:37the life of an ordinary person.
32:39You'll bear far
32:40greater responsibility.
32:41Responsibility will make me happier.
32:43I used to think
32:44Adrian would give me
32:45a normal life,
32:46a simple happiness.
32:47But everything changed.
32:51I apologize for my son.
32:53I don't mind.
32:55Next week,
32:56you turn 16.
32:58You will awaken as an Alpha.
33:00You will have your own wolf.
33:01I'll arrange your leave
33:03from school.
33:03You'll go to the training camp
33:05for Alpha initiation.
33:07And you will become
33:08a brave Alpha,
33:09just like your father.
33:11Thank you.
33:12For everything.
33:13Then I walked slowly
33:14out of the study,
33:15calm but filled
33:16with quiet strength.
33:17The moment I stepped out,
33:19Adrian appeared,
33:20pinned me against the wall.
33:21We stood inches apart.
33:23You!
33:24Jealousy!
33:24Hatred!
33:25Why are you targeting Laya?
33:27Because you think
33:27she's stealing
33:28my attention from you?
33:29I looked up,
33:30met his eyes.
33:31I let out a small laugh,
33:33cold and distant.
33:35Adrian,
33:36not everything is about you.
33:38Adrian froze,
33:40a few seconds of silence.
33:41He stepped closer,
33:43fisted clenching slightly,
33:44his voice raw with anger,
33:46and something else.
33:47Enough!
33:48If you want my attention,
33:50then be nice to Lyra.
33:51She cries every night
33:52because of you.
33:53I shook my head,
33:54my gaze steady.
33:56Everything changed.
33:58I am no longer
33:59the girl you thought you knew.
34:01Done waiting,
34:03done hoping,
34:04for the boy I love
34:06to see me.
34:07Adrian stood frozen,
34:09speechless.
34:09I gently pushed past him
34:12and walked away,
34:13steady,
34:14unharried,
34:15and resolute.
34:18I walked into the empty
34:19locker room alone.
34:21I looked down at my injured foot,
34:24gently touched it.
34:25The wound seeped slightly,
34:26but my eyes,
34:28unwavering.
34:29Once I regain the power of Alpha,
34:31I will be able to heal myself.
34:33Suddenly,
34:34sharp giggles from outside,
34:36followed by the click of heels
34:37on the floor.
34:38Lyra appeared in the doorway
34:39with two followers,
34:41each step slow and deliberate.
34:42Well, well.
34:44Look who's finally showing up.
34:46Bastard!
34:46Just a useless waste!
34:48One of the girl mocked.
34:49The three girls closed in,
34:50backed me into a corner
34:51by the lockers.
34:52My back hit the wall.
34:53My expression stayed calm,
34:55but my shoulder tense slightly.
34:58Another girl yanked my backpack.
35:01Look at those shoes.
35:03They are screaming for help.
35:05Too bad you can't.
35:06They tugged at my uniform.
35:09The fabric tears,
35:10exposed my shoulder.
35:12Lyra stepped closer,
35:14smirk still in place.
35:15She pulled a pen from her pocket,
35:17clicked it,
35:18and moved in.
35:19Bitch,
35:20I'm gonna give you back
35:21everything I suffered last night.
35:23Every
35:24bit of it.
35:25Then,
35:26she jabbed the pen tip
35:28into my shoulder.
35:29Suddenly,
35:29the silver mark on my wrist
35:31began to glow.
35:32The air ripples.
35:34Locker doors rattled gently.
35:36books slid off shelves.
35:38A pulse of energy
35:40blasted outward.
35:41The girls stumbled back,
35:42crashed into the lockers,
35:43shrieked.
35:44Lyra doubled over,
35:46then looked up in terror.
35:47I stepped forward slowly,
35:49calmly.
35:49I reached out and gripped
35:52Lyra's chin.
35:53From now on,
35:55no one touches me
35:56without permission.
35:58Especially you,
35:59Lyra.
36:00Lyra shoved my hand away,
36:02trembled.
36:04Suddenly,
36:04Adrian bursted in,
36:06throat himself
36:06between Lyra and I.
36:07Stay back,
36:08Selene!
36:08What the hell are you doing?
36:13See?
36:13She's doing it again!
36:15She's always bullying me!
36:17Adrian hesitated
36:18for half a second,
36:19then bought it.
36:20He whirled on me.
36:22There you go again!
36:23It's always you,
36:24isn't it?
36:25Stirring up trouble
36:26wherever you go!
36:28I inhaled slowly.
36:30A cold,
36:31bitter smile
36:31tugged at my lips.
36:33I shook my head.
36:34How could I ever?
36:36Like an idiot like you?
36:37Heard that.
36:38Adrian's face dartened.
36:40Lyra's father died
36:41protecting this pack.
36:42She's a hero's daughter.
36:43You?
36:44You're just some human girl.
36:45If my dad hadn't taken you in,
36:46you'd be dead long ago.
36:47My hands clenched into fists.
36:49My eyes reddened.
36:51I trembled,
36:51but not from fear.
36:52Lyra's father was a traitor.
36:54He tried to take
36:55the alpha position.
36:56My father fought him
36:57to save the pack,
36:58but I can't tell anyone.
36:59Who'd believe me?
37:00I took a deep breath.
37:01I moved to leave,
37:02but Adrian blocked my path
37:04with his arm out.
37:04Selene,
37:05apologize to Lyra.
37:06Now!
37:07I stopped and met his eyes.
37:08Impossible.
37:09Adrian's browed tightens.
37:11He stepped closer.
37:11voice dropped
37:12to a low threat.
37:14I don't beat girls,
37:16but...
37:16If you dare touch me,
37:18you cannot bear
37:19that responsibility.
37:20I raised my arm,
37:21pulled up my sleeve,
37:22my pant leg,
37:23revealed scars,
37:25bruises,
37:25wounds,
37:26layered over time.
37:27Adrian's eyes went wide.
37:29Who did this?
37:31Who hurts you?
37:33Lyra,
37:33she did this.
37:34She tortures me
37:35all the years.
37:36Why are you always
37:37so mean to me?
37:40I...
37:40I didn't do anything!
37:42A sad,
37:43quiet smile
37:43crossed my face.
37:44There's no anger left.
37:46Everything is gone.
37:48Adrian,
37:48you forgot your promises,
37:50our happy times,
37:51all gone.
37:52It's injured.
37:53Let me carry you.
37:54Let me go.
37:56I can walk myself.
37:57After said that,
37:58I turned to leave,
37:59but Adrian lifted me anyway.
38:02Firm,
38:03yet gentle.
38:04I struggled for a moment,
38:06then still.
38:08I rested against him,
38:10my expression unreadable.
38:12Lyra watched from the side.
38:15Jealousy twisted her face.
38:17Rage burns in her eyes.
38:20Bitch.
38:21I'm not done with you.
38:23I was lying on a bed.
38:25An IV dripped in my arm.
38:26I looked pale.
38:28Adrian sat beside me,
38:30holding my hand.
38:31I pulled away.
38:32He took it again.
38:33The fluid's cold.
38:34Let me warm your hand.
38:36I turned my head away,
38:38stopped fighting it.
38:39A single tear fell.
38:42Adrian's phone rang.
38:43He stood,
38:44gently touched my forehead.
38:46Be right back.
38:46His voice soft.
38:47He left.
38:48I closed my eyes,
38:50sighing.
38:51Lyra slipped into the room,
38:52a smirk on her face.
38:54My eyes snapped open.
38:55I jerked up in bed,
38:57alarmed.
38:57Lyra?
38:58What are you doing here?
39:00Lyra's smile widened.
39:01She moved closer.
39:02Her fingers hovered over the IV line.
39:05Her eyes glinted,
39:06unhinged,
39:07daring.
39:08My breath quickened.
39:09I gripped the sheet,
39:10eyes wary.
39:11Lyra yanked the needle out of my arm.
39:14Fluid spattered the bed.
39:16In one swift move,
39:17Lyra plunged the needle into her own chest.
39:20Blood seeped through her shirt.
39:22Her face twisted in pain,
39:24but there's a sick satisfaction in her eyes.
39:26The door burst open.
39:28Adrian stormed in,
39:29took in the scene,
39:29rage in his eyes.
39:32Lyra!
39:33He rushed to her,
39:33pulled her into his arms,
39:35shielded her.
39:36Lyra's expression shifted instantly.
39:38Her eyes welled up.
39:39Selina,
39:41please don't hurt me.
39:43I know I was wrong.
39:45I won't take anything from you ever again.
39:47I just,
39:48I just wanted a place to belong.
39:50I froze.
39:51Fear and disbelief surged through me.
39:53My hands curled into fists,
39:55breathing hard.
39:56Adrian gritted his teeth.
39:58You!
39:59Are you out of your mind?
40:00He stepped forward and slapped me.
40:03Hard.
40:03The crack echoed in the small room.
40:06My head snapped to the side.
40:07I touched my cheek.
40:09Stunned.
40:10Who's his real sister anyway?
40:12Told you.
40:13Selina's just a foster kid.
40:15A human.
40:17My cheek reddened.
40:18But I still stayed.
40:20Didn't fight back.
40:22Adrian hesitated,
40:23then stepped closer.
40:24Selina,
40:25I,
40:26I'm sorry.
40:28No need.
40:30Don't tell my dad.
40:31Originally,
40:32he was only scared Lyra would get in trouble.
40:34Fine.
40:35I won't.
40:36But now,
40:37please,
40:37leave.
40:38I need to rest.
40:39I lifted a hand,
40:41gestured them out.
40:42They exchanged a glance,
40:43then exited.
40:44Five days,
40:45then I'm gone.
40:46No more memories here.
40:48None.
40:50I opened my locker.
40:52Inside hangs a silver blue gown.
40:54A note.
40:55For tonight.
40:57Okay.
40:58One last dance before goodbye.
41:00At night,
41:01Beta Cole watched me zip a small suitcase.
41:03Are you sure you don't want to tell Adrian there's that dance tomorrow?
41:07I'll be there.
41:08I'll tell him who I am.
41:10Before the last dance.
41:12Only one day left before leaving.
41:14Grand Hall.
41:15I entered in the silver blue gown.
41:17They exclaimed in amazement.
41:21Wait.
41:22Is that the Cole family Cresp?
41:23That dress is custom made.
41:25But I thought Lyra was supposed to be his date.
41:28What's Selena doing with it?
41:29Across the room,
41:31Lyra watched in red.
41:33Jealousy burned.
41:35Cute dress, Selena.
41:37Too bad it was never meant for you.
41:39If you want it,
41:41it's yours.
41:42Lyra's smile cracked.
41:43She grabbed scissors,
41:45slashed her own gown,
41:46and screamed.
41:47Selena?
41:47How could you?
41:48First you steal the dress Adrian gave me,
41:50and now you destroy mine too?
41:52When will it be enough?
41:55Adrian entered the Grand Hall
41:56and found me with a mask.
41:59He approached excitedly
42:00and extended his hand.
42:02May I have this dance?
42:03Lyra looked up with a trembling smile.
42:06Of course.
42:07Adrian led La in a twirling dance
42:09across the dance floor.
42:11Out said,
42:11rain pounded me.
42:12I stumbled away from school.
42:15Shaked.
42:15My palm flickers light pulsed beneath the skin.
42:18Not now.
42:19Please.
42:20Beta said someone's waiting for me at the gate.
42:23I just have to make it.
42:24I gripped a lamp post.
42:26Electricity crackled along my arm.
42:29The light above my bursts.
42:31I cried out.
42:32Eyes glowed.
42:33At this time,
42:34a figure emerged from the rain.
42:36Adrian checked his watch.
42:3711.55pm.
42:39He pulled out a small velvet box.
42:41Opened it.
42:42A diamond pendant glowed inside.
42:44Five more minutes.
42:45Until I can finally say it.
42:47He thought.
42:48Bells began to chime.
42:50Midnight.
42:51Adrian reached for Lyra's mask and lifted it.
42:54Light hit her face.
42:56Lyra?
42:58The knight leaned close to my neck.
43:01His eyes glowed red gradually.
43:03His brows furrowed as if he was enduring something.
43:05His lips brushed against my skin.
43:07His voice was low and roughed.
43:10You shouldn't be alone tonight.
43:11The hard burge beneath his crotch pressed tightly against my bare skin as knight let out a low,
43:17raggled breath.
43:18He took hold of my wrist, the one bearing the mark, and gently stroked it to my left breast.
43:24Our wrist marks ignited.
43:26In an instant, heat exploded up my arm.
43:29I let out a startled cry.
43:30My eyes flew wide open.
43:32A strange silver light flickered within them.
43:34I clenched my legs tightly, trembled uncontrollably.
43:37A vaceous liquid dampened my panties, trickled slowly down my thighs.
43:41The silver and red light erupted from their marks, twisted and coiled together.
43:45I can taste your smell.
43:47You're completely mine now.
43:48Knight hay-hilled sharply against my neck.
43:51When the light faded, I was shaking in his arms.
43:55What did you do to me?
43:56You're wet because you chose me.
43:59You claimed me, and I claimed you.
44:05Maybe I should just call you mate.
44:07Say my name, Knight.
44:11I was lost in passion.
44:13My breath stuttered.
44:16Knight guided my hand down to my inner thigh,
44:19brushed it through my slip arousal,
44:21then lifted it to his lips and gently licked my fingers.
44:27Adrian stared at Lyra, the mask in his hand.
44:30His face crumbled.
44:33Where's Selina?
44:34He asked.
44:35Lyra reached for him.
44:37Panic flashed across her face.
44:39He pulled back.
44:40He turned and burst through the doors into the rain.
44:44Adrian, don't leave me.
44:46Wasn't I the one you wanted?
44:47Her voice broke.
44:49Adrian jumped on his motorcycle.
44:51Headlights cut through rain.
44:53He saw us.
44:54A figure placed me into an SUV.
44:59Selina, don't go.
45:01Selina!
45:02Knight glanced back, then looked away.
45:05The SUV pulled away.
45:07Adrian gunned the engine and skidded to a stop,
45:09but the taillights were already disappearing.
45:11He leaped off the bike and ran after them, but we were gone.
45:15He fell to his knees and slammed his fists into the wet pavement,
45:19again and again.
45:20Selina!
45:20I sat at the long table surrounded by warriors.
45:27Raw meat piled up before me.
45:29Warrior's eyes cut toward me.
45:31Cold and contemptuous.
45:32Human food?
45:34She can't even shift.
45:36Weakest Luna we've ever had.
45:37My hands curled in my lap.
45:39His voice cut through the hall like a blade.
45:42She is my mate.
45:43Your Luna.
45:44Show your respect.
45:46Knight gestured.
45:47Servants appeared with hand cakes, eggs, bacon.
45:50They set the plates before me.
45:52We followed you for strength, not to serve a fragile child.
45:56One of the warriors said.
45:58Knight's eyes gleamed.
45:59Next quarter's trials, she enters the competition.
46:02Shock rippled through the hall.
46:04She'll die.
46:06No, she'll win.
46:08And when she does, you will kneel to your Luna.
46:11All of you.
46:13Knight looked at me.
46:14I lifted my head.
46:15Silver flickered in my eyes.
46:18See you in the arena.
46:22Morning after morning.
46:24Knight put me through drills.
46:26Relentless.
46:27Unforgiving.
46:28I ran until my legs burned.
46:30I was spared until my body aches.
46:32I fell again and again.
46:34Each time, Knight watched.
46:36Cold and unmoving.
46:38One afternoon, I lunged at him.
46:40He sidestepped and came into the mat in one fluid motion.
46:43I gasped, trapped beneath him.
46:46Again.
46:47He said.
46:48I pushed up.
46:49My knees scraped the mat.
46:50Blood welled from the wound.
46:52I was breathless.
46:54I can keep going.
46:56Concern flickered in his eyes.
46:58He stopped me.
46:59He released me and stood.
47:01A servant approached with a small plate.
47:04Cream cake.
47:05Knight took it and lowered himself to one knee in front of me between my thighs.
47:09Kids heal faster with sugar.
47:11I'm not a kid.
47:12My face flushed.
47:14He cut a piece and held the fork to my lips.
47:16I hesitated, then leaned forward and took the bite.
47:20As the fork slid out, a smear of cream lingered at the corner of my mouth, and my tongue flicked
47:25out to catch another dab on my lip.
47:26He watched my mouth, then reached up and dragged his thumb slowly across lower lip, gathered
47:31the cream.
47:32His thumb lingered at my lip, pressed just enough to part them.
47:35Don't waste.
47:36He said.
47:37I ticked my thumb slowly, shivered.
47:40Good girl.
47:41I lowered my gaze, cheeks flushed.
47:56Ready?
47:57I was born ready.
48:25Take me tonight, Knight.
48:33Every night, for the rest of my life.
48:42Adrian burst through the door.
48:44Beta Cole looked up.
48:45Please.
48:46Just tell me where Selene is.
48:48Let her go, Adrian.
48:50Serene has her own path to follow.
48:53I'm not giving up.
48:55Adrian turned and walked out of the room.
48:57The day was coming.
48:59Thousands of wolves packed the stands.
49:01Their voices rose in a deafening roar.
49:03Look at her.
49:04The human Luna.
49:06A wolf shouted.
49:07She won't last a minute.
49:09Another wolf said.
49:11Knight stood rigid, arms crossed.
49:13His jaw tightened as he watched me step into the ring alone.
49:16I faced my opponent, a massive wolf twice my size.
49:20Muscles coiling under scarred fur.
49:23He circled me, hungry.
49:24I raised my fists.
49:26He lunged.
49:27I dodged.
49:28But his claw caught my arm.
49:30Blood sprayed.
49:31I hit the ground hard.
49:33Pathetic.
49:34Send her home.
49:35A wolf laughed.
49:36I pushed up.
49:38The wolf struck again.
49:39I flew backward, skidded across the sand.
49:42Blood pooled beneath me.
49:44Knight took a step forward.
49:46The high priest blocked him.
49:48You interfere.
49:49She loses everything.
49:51Knight's hands gripped the railing.
49:53His knuckles went white.
49:54In the ring.
49:55I struggled to my knees.
49:57Then my feet.
49:58One inch at a time.
50:00My legs shook.
50:01But I stood.
50:02The wolf charged for the final blow.
50:05Then a sound tore from my chest.
50:07Not human.
50:08Something ancient.
50:09A howl that shook the arena.
50:11White light exploded outward, blinding.
50:14The wolf skidded to a halt.
50:16Wimpered.
50:16When the light faded, a massive white wolf stood in the ring.
50:20Fur was like snow.
50:21Eyes were like burning silver.
50:23The opponent snarled and lunged.
50:26The white wolf moved faster than anything alive.
50:28Jaws closed on the attacker's throat.
50:31A single shake.
50:32He flew across the arena and lay still.
50:35White wolf.
50:36That's royal blood.
50:37An elder wolf said with voice trembling.
50:40One by one, the wolves lowered themselves,
50:43nailed and pressed their foreheads to the ground.
50:45Then all wolves charged.
50:47Luna!
50:48Luna!
50:48The light shimmered and faded.
50:51I stood again, human now wrapped in cloth.
50:54Trembled but alive, night descended into the ring.
50:57He walked to me.
50:58Took my hand and lifted it high for everyone to see.
51:01A motorcycle ripped through the arena gates.
51:03Adrian jumped off and stubbled toward me.
51:06His face pale.
51:07Serene, you're a wolf.
51:14Adrian rushed toward me.
51:16You're a wolf?
51:16How?
51:18You were human.
51:19You've always been.
51:20He reached for me.
51:21Come home with me.
51:23I'll protect you.
51:24Night stepped between us.
51:25Protect her.
51:26You didn't even know what she was.
51:28Adrian frozen.
51:30He stared at me.
51:32Something about me was different.
51:34The way I held myself.
51:36The light in my eyes.
51:37Like a queen.
51:39What happened?
51:40She awakened.
51:42She's a white wolf.
51:43Your moon packs alpha.
51:45Night said coldly.
51:46The words hit like a blow.
51:49Adrian's face pales.
51:50Sylvine, I know I don't deserve you now,
51:53but I searched for you for three months.
51:55I never stopped.
51:57I met his eyes calmly.
51:58Lyra is your mate, Adrian.
52:00Not me.
52:02Adrian staggered like I struck him.
52:04Then let me prove it.
52:05A duel.
52:07Winner takes her home.
52:08Wolf warrior leaned forward.
52:10Night's eyes narrowed.
52:12Fine.
52:13No.
52:13I refuse.
52:15I'm the prize.
52:16Not a prize.
52:17Not for either of you.
52:19I looked at Adrian,
52:21but no less certain.
52:22I won't go back with you.
52:24Not because of Lyra.
52:26Because...
52:27I finally found my mate.
52:32The crowd fell silent.
52:34Night's jaw sightened,
52:36then slowly relaxed.
52:37He walked toward me.
52:39One step.
52:40Then another.
52:41Adrian stood frozen.
52:43Are you sure?
52:44I looked up at him.
52:45Didn't flinch.
52:46I'm sure.
52:47You're my only love.
52:49He tilted my chin up.
52:51Without hesitation,
52:53Night kissed me.
52:54Acclaim.
52:54And Alpha marked his territory.
52:56I trembled,
52:57but didn't pull away.
52:59My fingers gripped his shirt.
53:00A low growl rippled through the wolves,
53:03shock and submission tangled together.
53:05Adrian stumbled back like he had been struck by lightning.
53:08Disbelief written all over his face.
53:11Night broke the kiss.
53:12His voice was calm.
53:14She's my mate.
53:15You can't take her.
53:16I turned to Adrian.
53:18Adrian,
53:19I'm not your home.
53:21Adrian stood frozen.
53:22His face paled and trembled.
53:24Adrian Cole,
53:26you fool.
53:27You let her go once,
53:29and now you can't bear to watch her belong to another.
53:31You deserve this.
53:33Every damn piece of it.
53:34Laya stood before a fireplace,
53:37hooded.
53:37Several black-clad killers kneeled before me.
53:40Find her.
53:42You know what to do.
53:43The assassin leader nodded.
53:45Selene,
53:46the human girl.
53:48We'll deal with her on the road.
53:49Lyra lifted my head.
53:51A strange satisfaction gleamed in my eyes.
53:54She's not human.
53:55She's Alpha Heart's daughter.
53:56My father died by his hands.
53:58I've waited years for this.
54:01She paused,
54:02smiles coldly.
54:04She will die
54:04before she truly awakens.
54:09Serene,
54:10may you always be happy.
54:11Just remember Moonpack is your support.
54:14Adrian walked toward his motorcycle.
54:16I'll send you to the edge of town.
54:18You're still my brother.
54:19Adrian froze for a moment,
54:21watched me walk toward him.
54:23A bitter smile crossed his face.
54:25From now on,
54:27let me protect you
54:28from the shadows.
54:29The motorcycle rode along the forest path.
54:31An arrow whistled past my arm.
54:33Black-clowed figures emerged from the trees.
54:36Adrian jumped off the motorcycle
54:38with me in his arms.
54:40A blade sliced toward me.
54:42He threw himself in front of it.
54:44The steel bit into his side.
54:46Run!
54:47He conropst.
54:48Bones cracked.
54:49Fur ripped through skin.
54:51A massive wolf now stood
54:53between the assassins and me.
54:54He launched,
54:55tore into them,
54:56and fought like something feral.
54:58Knight's hand gripped his chest.
55:00The mat marked Burns.
55:02Selene!
55:03He was already moving.
55:05Adrian fought on.
55:06Wounded.
55:07Three assassins circled him.
55:08A force aimed at me.
55:10A blur of motion.
55:11Knight's blade took the assassin down.
55:13His warriors descended.
55:15The fight ended in seconds.
55:17Knight pulled me against him.
55:19Are you hurt?
55:19I shook my head.
55:21Looked past him at Adrian.
55:22Bleeding.
55:23Human again.
55:24On his knees.
55:25Knight followed my gaze.
55:27Saw the markings on the dead assassins.
55:29Lyra's work.
55:30My face paled.
55:32Adrian struggled to stand.
55:33She wants you dead.
55:35I know.
55:37This day finally came.
55:40Lyra stared into the fire.
55:42Flamed flicker,
55:43then twist.
55:44Lyra's face went pale.
55:46Her hands clenched.
55:48The door bruised open.
55:50I stood in the doorway,
55:51a faint silver glow radiating from me.
55:53Adrian and Knight flanked me.
55:55Lyra stumbled back.
55:57Surprised to see me?
55:58I laughed coldly.
56:00Lyra's eyes darted,
56:01calculating,
56:02desperate.
56:03She opened her mouth to whimper,
56:05to play the victim.
56:06What are you going to do to me?
56:08Adrian, help me!
56:10Don't play victim.
56:11You know everything.
56:12Your father tried to steal the alpha title.
56:15He died a traitor.
56:16And you?
56:17You've spent years making sure I paid for it.
56:20Adrian looked at Lyra coldly.
56:22You liar.
56:23The dress.
56:24The needle.
56:25It was all you.
56:27Lyra's mask cracked.
56:28Her eyes went cold.
56:30You think I'd let her take everything?
56:32My father died because of her father!
56:35Her body convulsed.
56:36Bones cracked.
56:37Fur ripped through skin.
56:39A dark wolf lunged at me,
56:41jaws wide.
56:42Knight stepped forward.
56:43My hand stopped him.
56:45Fine.
56:45My body convulsed.
56:47Silver light exploded.
56:48In seconds,
56:49a massive white wolf stood in my place.
56:51The two wolves collided.
56:53Teeth tear.
56:54Claws slack.
56:56They moved in a blur of fur and blood.
56:58The white wolf gained the other hand.
56:59Jaws closed around the other's throat.
57:02One snap.
57:03Silence.
57:04The dark wolf crumpled.
57:06Shimmered.
57:07Lyra lied still,
57:08human again.
57:09Then she becomes ashes.
57:11Light shimmered around me.
57:13I transformed into human again.
57:15I straightened and walked toward the door without looking back.
57:18It's over.
57:21Sunlight streams through towering windows.
57:24The hall was packed.
57:25Wolves stood shoulder by shoulder.
57:27I stood at the center,
57:29dressed in silver and white.
57:32I looked regal.
57:34Beta Cole and Adrian watched from the front row,
57:36eyes glistening.
57:38Knight descended from the throne.
57:40In his hands,
57:41a crown,
57:41delicate silver,
57:42caught light like frozen stars.
57:45I was born ready.
57:48I smiled.
57:50I was born ready.
57:51He placed the crown on my head,
57:53then took my hand and lifted it to his lips,
57:55kissy knuckles once,
57:56slow,
57:57deliberate,
57:58reverent.
57:59The hall erupted,
58:00howls,
58:01tweers,
58:01stomping feet.
58:02Then all loudly.
58:06I looked at Knight.
58:07He was already looking at me.
58:09I smiled.
58:11Mountains rise in the distance.
58:12Moonlight pours down like liquid silver.
58:15Two wolves streak across the valley.
58:17One white is me.
58:19One black is Knight.
58:20I leap,
58:21tacking the dark one mid-stride.
58:23We tumble together down a grassy slope,
58:25a tangle of fur and limbs,
58:26until we roll to a stop at the bottom.
58:28Then fur gives way to skin.
58:30Pamping gives way to breathing.
58:32Ragged,
58:33human,
58:33close.
58:34We lie tangled together at the base of the slope,
58:37no longer wolves.
58:38My hair spills across his arm.
58:40He lowers his head with a soft smile.
58:43Take me to Knight Knight.
58:46His mouth finds mine,
58:47slow at first,
58:48then deeper.
58:49My fingers slide into his hair.
58:51His hand traces down my side,
58:53over my hip,
58:55pulling me closer.
58:56Every night,
58:57for the rest of my life.
58:58The moonlight spills over us.
59:00My head fall back.
59:02His lips find my throat.
59:03A soft sound escapes me.
59:06Our two figures move together in the silver light,
59:08skin against skin.
59:10Nothing between us now.
59:11The mountains keep watching us.
