01:16filled with loathing silas cast me aside and approached ava he condensed my strength into a
01:22soft glowing golden orb at a subtle squeeze of his palm and they both disappeared without a trace
01:28upon the altar my fingernails dug into the crevices of the bloodstone my vision blurred all my power
01:35faded i returned to my ordinary form and collapsed weakly across the cold stone ground the last thing
01:41my fading sight caught was that narrow vent window high on the wall deep in the pitch black heart of
01:46the cursed woods pair of burning gold eyes hung suspended in the darkness
01:53if he still still wants my lunar essence he should at least let me get medicine for my wounds
02:03i had the sentinels guarding the altar relay the message to silas
02:06he reluctantly agreed i dragged my weakened body out of the altar chamber stumbling with every step
02:12i was about to cross the central courtyard toward the apothecary when low laughter drifted out from
02:17the side hall mara i ducked behind a stone pillar on instinct and held my breath mother how much longer
02:23do we have to keep that little bitch around every time i see her playing the devoted mortal for silas
02:29at
02:29that altar it makes me sick patient sweetheart just a few more days after the next full moon once silas

03:26the moment his guard dropped
03:34damn it you insane little bitch seize her
03:38i shoved him back and sprinted through the narrow door at the end of the corridor
03:42the passage to the cursed woods and plunged into the endless darkness
03:45a voice exploded through the blackness
03:48well well little thing tell me did you come to offer yourself to me
03:55leila
03:58come back now and i might still forgive you
04:01if you wake the thing in there it'll tear us all apart
04:04i stumbled into a vast stone cavern choked with dead withered vines
04:10at the center they bound a huge motionless figure
04:14i grabbed a sharp rock and slashed open my palm
04:17blood gushed from my palm
04:19if the legends are true if you really crave blood that badly
04:23then take mine just don't let me die at his hands
04:3220 years
04:35and the one who breaks my chains is an omega
04:43with the purest healing essence i've ever tasted
04:47offering me her blood like a bargain
04:53he charged in with a dozen blackridge warriors
04:55terror crashed over me once again
04:58no impossible
04:59the seal hasn't expired yet
05:01those chains were made with
05:04made with what
05:05silver alloy
05:08forbidden runes
05:09soul eater venom
05:10she's my mate
05:12she belongs to blackridge
05:14you have no right
05:15you say she's your mate
05:17but her blood is rejecting your scent
05:20you call that a mate
05:21i'd call that
05:22prey
05:24a sharp cutting presence began to radiate from him growing stronger by the second
05:29the torchlight barely flickered and killian was already in front of silas
05:40he grabbed silas by the throat and hurled him away
05:44take your people
05:46leave
05:47she's just a lowly omega
05:49she's worth this much to you
05:50hand her over
05:51i can offer you things worth a thousand times more
05:54i won't say it again
05:56leave

05:58now
06:06your blood broke my seal
06:09you're mine now
06:10what
06:15i don't belong to anyone
06:17who the hell are you
06:20years ago
06:21i gave my grandmother's bracelet to silas's mother
06:24i had been foolish enough to treat her like family
06:26believing the raw moonstone on the bracelet could heal her frail body
06:30now i was taking it back
06:32a few months later
06:33i timed my move and snuck into the blackridge central hall
06:37mara assumed that i was still the same helpless omega with nothing to her name
06:42leila
06:44you're finally here
06:45i know you blame simus
06:48but i've always treated you like my own daughter
06:50that conniving bitch ava
06:52she said your mother's things were bad luck
06:54wanted to throw them away
06:55i
06:56i fought to get it back for you
07:00come here sweet girl
07:02this belongs to you
07:04it always did
07:05let me put it back where it should be
07:08to my eyes
07:09all of her weakness was nothing but an act
07:13you little bitch
07:15how dare you lay a hand on me
07:21are you done acting yet
07:22or was this silver bagger your real farewell gift
07:28mara wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and smiled
07:32bold
07:33seems like these few months away from black birth
07:36taught you a thing or two
07:39give me the bracelet back
07:45the bracelet
07:46give it back
07:48then again the fact that you snuck into the blackridge central hall all by yourself
07:52that does surprise me
07:55did you really think blackridge's defenses were that easy to get through
08:00the four side doors behind me burst open at once
08:03twelve armed blackridge elites poured in
08:05at their center stood silas
08:07layla
08:09long time no see
08:11i froze
08:11it was a trap
08:13all of it
08:14i mustered all my strength
08:17only one thought remained
08:18kill mara
08:19i reversed my grip on the dagger and drove it at mara's chest
08:34you psycho
08:35you actually stabbed me
08:37her voice drifted from the screen to something low
08:41fine fine
08:42layla
08:43i raised you for ten years
08:46ten years
08:47and this is how you repay me
08:49silas suddenly pressed my face hard against his cold bones
08:53layla
08:54you really did give me one hell of a surprise
08:58two warriors rushed forward
09:00silver chains wrapped around my wrists and bound them behind my back
09:05layla
09:05you can channel every last drop of your essence to me right here
09:14in your dreams
09:17dreams
09:18his hand closed around my throat
09:20golden lunar essence poured from my neck into his palm
09:23silver chains rattled behind me
09:25my body arched in agony
09:26suddenly
09:27the death of the crash
09:29the glass stained ceiling
09:31shattered like an eggshell
09:32rubble and dust rained down
09:45who did this
09:46no one answered
09:47his fury ignited in an instant
09:50a searing orb of golden flame roaring to life in his palm
09:53he resembled a solitary wolf trapped in age-long slumber amid the frigid snow-capped peaks
09:57and i was the one who roused the beast within him
10:00burning gold eyes blazing through the dust and debris
10:02he walked toward me with every step
10:05stone cracked beneath his feet
10:07fractures spread across the floor like a spider web
10:10he crouched beside me and lifted me from the rubble with impossible care
10:16killin
10:18she's my mate
10:19i'm disciplining my own woman
10:21what business is it of yours
10:22your woman
10:44your man
10:51who knows
10:53how did you do that
10:53in a city that was an elf
11:12That's it.
11:17Who the hell are you?
11:21A worthless Omega is worth all this?
11:24Killian's arm whipped forward.
11:25Silas slammed into a stone pillar 30 feet away.
11:28Killian bent down and picked up the silver chain that had bound my hands.
11:32He looped it around Silas's neck.
11:34Silas looked like a dog on a leash.
11:36Killian dragged the chain two steps toward me.
11:38I'm sorry, Layla.
11:42Please, put in a word for me.
11:44Let me go.
11:45Killian glanced down at him, then released the chain and kicked him aside.
11:49I used every last bit of my strength to dig through the rubble, searching for my grandmother's bracelet.
11:54Sharp gravel lacerated my fingers.
11:57At last, I unearthed the bracelet beneath the rubble and hope rekindled deep within my soul.
12:02Killian bent down and lifted me out of the debris.
12:04His eyes fell on the bracelet in my hand.
12:09So that's it.
12:11Little thing, you've been hiding quite a secret.
12:15Killian frantically inhaled my scent.
12:17Strangely, I froze in place and did not push him away.
12:24Killian brought me to a cave in the cursed woods to heal.
12:27But my revenge was mine to take.
12:29Besides, I still had no idea what Killian truly was.
12:32For all I knew, he could have been no better than Silas.
12:36Blood Moon Knight.
12:37Word had spread across the entire Shifter world that the Black Ridge Pack was about to welcome a new Luna.
12:43The Black Ridge Great Hall glittered with light.
12:45Hundreds of wolves in formal attire filled the space.
12:49Torches blazed against the vaulted ceiling, casting everything in gold.
13:00Black Ridge Alpha Silas hereby formally marks his mate Ava as Black Ridge Luna.
13:07Silas leaned down, his lips moving toward the back of Ava's neck.
13:12Wait!
13:12Every pair of eyes in the hall snapped toward me.
13:19Where did this little...
13:21You all came here to watch Black Ridge crown a Luna.
13:26So look carefully.
13:28Would a truly powerful Alpha need to chain an Omega underground and drain her essence night after night just to
13:38make himself stronger?
13:39Layla, what nonsense are you spowing?
13:43Guards, take her out.
13:46Look closely.
13:49This is where your Black Ridge Alpha gets his strength.
13:52From an Omega, he bled dry drop by drop with these silver chains.
13:59Silas, you're not an Alpha.
14:02You're a parasite.
14:05Layla, I know you hate me.
14:07If I really didn't care about you, I could have replaced you years ago.
14:12Why did I keep you?
14:14Because I can't live without you, Layla.
14:17It's not just your essence.
14:19It's you.
14:20I was wrong.
14:21I know I was wrong.
14:22But Layla, it's not too late to change.
14:26Today's marking ceremony is cancelled.
14:30What?
14:33Silas, you...
14:34I said...
14:35Cancelled.
14:38Layla, I'll mark you right now.
14:41In front of everyone.
14:44I'll make you the true Luna of Black Ridge.
14:48Simus, you really are one hell of an actor.
14:51But I, Layla, reject this unfaithful bond.
15:00You worthless, Omega!
15:02You don't get to say no!
15:03You don't get to say anything!
15:09The black stone doors exploded inward, as if something monstrous had struck them from the other side.
15:15Shards of stone tore through the hall.
15:17Wolves dove for cover.
15:18The hand around my throat began to rot rapidly.
15:22Silas screamed.
15:28Killian had appeared behind me, no one saw one.
15:31One hand scooped my limp body into his arms.
15:51Killian's fingers traced the back of my neck.
15:54Heat seared through my skin.
15:55The mark of the leaking king, burned into existence.
15:59All units, move out!
16:01Outside the Black Ridge Great Hall, rain poured down in sheets.
16:05Don't be afraid of the lion name!
16:08Killian just woke up!
16:09He's nowhere near full strength!
16:12Kill him!
16:13Bring Layla back!
16:14Killian grabbed me, and threw us both off the castle wall.
16:21Kilden, you're bleeding!
16:22Just a scratch.
16:23Move.
16:24A massive gray wolf burst from the tree lane and lunged straight for rain throat.
16:28Killian didn't walk.
16:30He fatted his forearm.
16:32The wolf's jaws clamped down with a wet crunch.
16:34I heard bone grind.
16:36He grabbed the wolf by the scruff with his free hand and wrenched.
16:40The animal's neck twisted at a wrong angle.
16:42He pried the dead mouth open with his fingers.
16:45Blood poured down his wrist.
16:47Behind me.
16:49Like he hadn't just let a wolf chew through his arm.
16:52More wolves poured from the tree line.
16:54At the front was a huge brown wolf covered in scars.
16:57Draven, Blackridge's beta.
17:02Killian!
17:03Alpha gave the order.
17:05Hand over the Omega, and I might make this quick.
17:08How generous.
17:11When I say go, you run north.
17:13Don't stop.
17:14Don't look back.
17:15Make it to the Grey Mist River and you're safe.
17:17It's neutral ground.
17:18No Pax forces can enter.
17:21What about you?
17:22I'll be busy kicking their asses.
17:26The dense forest.
17:28Pouring rain.
17:29I ran north as hard as I could.
17:32When I looked back, I saw Killian shift.
17:35The instant his spine arched, a roar tore from his throat and shook the canopy overhead.
17:40His body swelled monstrously, pitch black fur ripping through skin.
17:44Claws shot from his fingers, long as daggers.
17:47When I looked back, a pure black wolf towered over the field, golden eyes blazing, far larger than any alpha
17:54form I had ever seen.
17:57I forced myself to look ahead and ran.
18:00Branches lashed my face.
18:02Thorns tore at my sleeves.
18:04Rock slammed into my knees, and blood ran down both legs.
18:07The Grey Mist River appeared ahead of me.
18:10I threw myself into the freezing current.
18:13The far bank.
18:14I crawled up the muddy riverbank, soaked through, coughing violently, shaking all over.
18:20My eyes locked on the opposite shore.
18:23No answer.
18:25Killian!
18:26I'd heard the leaking mark was tied to its master's life.
18:29As long as it stayed warm, he was alive.
18:32If it turned cold, I pressed my fingers to the back of my neck.
18:37Suddenly, a hand shot out from behind and seized my wrist.
18:40His eyes were a color I had never seen before, deep violet.
18:44The Lycan King's mark.
18:46On an omega.
18:48How's that possible?
18:50Who are you?
18:53You answer me first.
18:56Who gave you that mark?
18:58None of your business.
18:59The pattern.
19:00It's the forbidden crest of the Lycan royal bloodline.
19:03The last person who could carve a mark like this was my son.
19:07Your...
19:08son?
19:08My name is Azar.
19:1020 years ago, I was the leader of the Grey Shadow Clan.
19:13The last guardians of the Lyman royal family.
19:16The Lyman king and queen were killed in the war.
19:19I smuggled the young alpha out of the pack in secret.
19:22I raised him as my son.
19:25His name is Killian.
19:26A flash.
19:2720 years ago.
19:28A boy surrounded by flames.
19:30Black fur matted with blood.
19:32A man shoving him out of the encirclement, only to have half his own face swallowed by the fire.
19:37The boy was swept away by the chaos, vanishing into the darkness.
19:44After that night, I never found him.
19:48The Grey Shadow Clan scattered.
19:50I took what was left of our people and hid in this unclaimed territory.
19:5720 years.
19:58I thought he was dead.
20:00He's not dead.
20:02At least, he was still alive before I crossed the river.
20:06Come with me.
20:07You stay on that river bank.
20:09You won't last the night.
20:10I followed Azar through the camp.
20:13This place didn't look like a PAX camp.
20:15More like a...
20:16Shelter.
20:18The elderly, the wounded, children with bones showing through their skin.
20:22Every wolf who had been cast out, injured, or had nowhere else to go, they all ended up here.
20:27A thin little girl was curled up in the corner of a tent.
20:30There was a deep gash on her lower leg, inflamed and festering.
20:34That child's wound is infected.
20:36If it's not treated, the rot will reach the bone.
20:38I know.
20:40But we don't have a healer.
20:42Don't have medicine either.
20:43In this place, whether you live or die is up to fate.
20:48Let me look at her.
20:51The girl's mother threw herself in front of her child in panic.
20:55Who are you?
20:55Don't touch my daughter.
20:57I crouched down, keeping my voice as gentle as I could.
21:01I won't hurt her.
21:03I just...
21:05know a little bit about healing.
21:06I held my hand over the girl's wound.
21:09A thread of dark golden light seeped from my fingertips, so feigned it was barely visible.
21:13But the festering skin around the wound began to close, right before our eyes.
21:17The girl's mother clapped her hand over her mouth in shock.
21:21Azar's dark violet eyes contracted sharply.
21:24Luna essence.
21:26She doesn't even know what she is.
21:30The next day, a line of old, sick, and wounded wolves stretched out in front of me.
21:35I re-bandaged an old man's broken ribs.
21:38Light seeped through the gaps between my fingers, and the pained look on his face slowly eased.
21:44I cleaned the stump wound of a young wolf who had lost his left arm.
21:48I fed herbal broth to three feverish pups.
21:50The smallest one was so delirious from the fever that his tiny hand grabbed my finger and wouldn't let go.
21:55Azar stood at a distance, arms folded, watching all of it.
21:59Chief, who is this woman?
22:02Those wounds, we spent months trying to treat them and got nowhere.
22:04She touches them once and...
22:08Don't ask.
22:09Just keep an eye on her.
22:11But Chief, word's already getting out.
22:14The strays are spreading it everywhere.
22:16Saying an omega with lunar essence has shown up in the unclaimed territories.
22:23Night.
22:23I sat by the campfire at the edge of camp and pulled a fur pelt over the smallest pup.
22:28In his sleep, he had shifted into wolf form, a palm-sized gray pup curled into a ball.
22:33You're worried about him.
22:35Your ex.
22:38The Black Ridge Alpha.
22:40He won't let this go.
22:42You know that, right?
22:45I know.
22:46The unclaimed territories may be neutral ground.
22:48No Pax forces can enter.
22:51But Simus isn't someone who plays by the rules.
22:54I know.
22:55So what are you gonna do?
22:57I looked down at the sleeping pup in my arms.
23:00I don't know.
23:02A czar watched me for a long time.
23:04Then he stood and pulled something from inside his cloak.
23:07A fist-sized chunk of black ore.
23:09He placed it in my palm.
23:14This is a lichen soul stone.
23:18In times of danger, it will protect the lichen Luna.
23:25Are you saying I'm the Luna of the lichen royal bloodline?
23:30Are you saying I'm the Luna of the lichen royal bloodline?
23:31I don't know.
