Transcript
00:00Before the Witch Clan's curse spread to the town, my mother was sold to the Black Market by my father.
00:05A human woman, exchanged for ten loaves of bread.
00:08Before they dragged her away, she gripped my arm hard enough to leave a mark.
00:12Kyra, go to the North Stronghold.
00:15Find Alpha Simus. He's the leader of Iron Moonpack. He's your real father. He'll take you in!
00:24He will take you in. And because of those words, I embarked on a very long journey.
00:30I don't know how long I walked. I was covered in wounds.
00:36But when I found Alpha Silas, he was mounted on the most magnificent direwolf I'd ever seen.
00:41A small girl cradled in his arms. At the pack boundary, he looked down at me from above.
00:46A hybrid born of a human woman who betrayed me. And you dare claim to be my child.
00:51He savored the fear on my face and said contemptuously.
00:54Go tell your mother this. Even if you're truly my flesh and blood, born from her, you still don't belong
01:02in my clan.
01:02I am very hungry and desperately want to get food.
01:06Can I be a beggar then? Could you spare me one silver coin to buy a piece of dry bread
01:11right now?
01:12He felt as if he had heard a joke.
01:16If you want to beg, send her to do it herself.
01:20He rode his direwolf through the shimmering barrier of the wolf pack's territory and vanished.
01:25I was left alone in the snow.
01:27That girl, her skin was soft and delicate, as if she had been immersed in milk her whole life.
01:33Although fate is unfair, I will never give up.
01:37The Betagate sentry had dead eyes and a meaner snarl.
01:41What are you staring at?
01:42He slowly approached me, his words full of sarcasm.
01:47The Alpha said you're not fit to enter.
01:49Get lost before you contaminate the grounds!
01:53I ran to the alley next to the border wall,
01:56crouched in the shadows,
01:58pressed one hand against my empty stomach,
02:01and stared at the gate.
02:03Mother lied.
02:04Alpha Silas would never claim me.
02:06He had that direwolf, and those polished silver bracers,
02:09and not one coin to spare for a starving child at his door.
02:13He said, if you want anything, have your mother come herself.
02:16But mother was dead, sold into the flesh market.
02:19Dusk bled across the sky, the wind coming off the iron moon, cut like a silver blade.
02:24I crouched in the alley, watching pack wolves in fine pelts pass through the gates.
02:29Alphas and betas and their kept omegas, all of them fed, none of them looking at me.
02:34I thought of my mother.
02:36Mama, I'm so hungry.
02:40And I thought about my brother.
02:43Gallows had meant to kill me that night.
02:46He risked his life to save me.
02:48Sister, run!
02:51Later, when Gallows wasn't watching,
02:54I chewed through the rope, and...
02:57Snow started to fall,
02:59soft and relentless.
03:02The cold worked into my bones.
03:04Where else can I go?
03:07Three years from the eastern settlements to Iron Mountain.
03:10The war between the witchcraft and the werewolves that soaked the entire continent in blood.
03:16And humans were the lowest form of existence in this world.
03:21Along the way, to stay alive,
03:22I had long since abandoned every shred of dignity.
03:25Roots.
03:26Field rats.
03:27Scraps from garbage heaps.
03:29I kept myself smeared with mud and rot,
03:31so nobody could tell what I was at a glance.
03:33I wanted my blood father to see something worth acknowledging.
03:36I wanted him to claim me so I could use pack resources to avenge my mother and brother.
03:41But now, I can't do anything.
03:43He hasn't accepted me.
03:45Huh.
03:46Mama.
03:46I'm so useless.
03:48I curled tighter against the wall,
03:50snowmelt soaked through my collar.
03:52I can only find food in the trash cans of A-Day.
03:56I let my eyes close,
03:57just a moment's sleep.
04:00But bigger trouble is on its way.
04:04Hey, there's a girl here.
04:08Perfect timing.
04:09The breeder house on the west side needs fresh Omega stock.
04:13Young ones.
04:13This one will do.
04:16They grabbed my wrists and ankles.
04:19My body was burning with fever,
04:21frozen and hollow all at once.
04:25I watched the pulse jump in the bigger one's throat,
04:28tightened my grip on the shard of bone blade.
04:30I'd been hiding in my sleep just as I was about to use it.
04:34The sound of wolf hooves shook the street.
04:37It turned out that my father had arrived.
04:42The two scoundrels were terrified.
04:44Iron Moon.
04:45I was overjoyed.
04:47Had he come to save me?
04:49Both rogues flinched to their knees by instinct.
04:52What do you think you're doing?
04:54That is what Alpha Dominance does to lower ranks.
04:57My lord, we were, uh,
04:59we were taking the girl to,
05:01to find her some medicine.
05:05Medicine.
05:06He made a sound that promised an ending.
05:08Then his eyes landed on my face.
05:10The boundary torches caught my features,
05:13carved from the same cold template as his own.
05:15Father.
05:17His jaw tightened.
05:19Then he laughed.
05:21So it's you.
05:24You are just like your mother, weak and powerless.
05:27His tone carried a suppressed fury.
05:30When he finished speaking,
05:31he turned and rode back through the gate.
05:35The heavy boundary seal boomed shut behind him.
05:39He abandoned me again.
05:42The two scoundrels seemed frightened.
05:44She just called the Alpha.
05:45Father?
05:46Above the gate was the Iron Moon tribe's crest,
05:49a deep red like aged blood.
05:51Something hollowed out in my chest,
05:53wide and permanent.
05:55Take me with you.
05:56My heart is dead.
05:59Tonight snow is heavy.
06:00She'll die out here.
06:02The breeder house at least has food and a roof.
06:05Maybe we should find a healer first, then...
06:09But she called the Alpha Father!
06:11The boundary gate was kicked open from the inside.
06:17Alpha Silas walked out,
06:19his face carved from ice.
06:21How are you this worthless?
06:25I closed my eyes.
06:27I didn't want to see his face,
06:29but he crouched down and gathered me up.
06:32In that single instant,
06:33I drove the bone blade I'd been saving into his stomach.
06:36I looked straight into his disbelieving eyes.
06:40You don't have to claim me.
06:43Fine.
06:45But if you won't let me live,
06:46then we die together.
06:50He went to his knees,
06:52one arm locked around my back.
06:53The other hand clamped over mine on the blade.
06:56Hot blood welled through my fingers,
06:59dripped onto the snow.
07:01Packed sentries rushed out with silver-tipped pole arms,
07:04then froze at one glance from him.
07:06He looked at me,
07:07just looked,
07:08for a long, quiet moment.
07:09Something shifted in his eyes.
07:11Those eyes.
07:12A flicker of dark, twisted recognition.
07:14Wolf-cub eyes.
07:15He agreed with me.
07:16You have some of my blood in you, after all.
07:19The ferocity, at least.
07:22A pity I said nothing about not letting you live.
07:25I glanced toward where the rogues had been,
07:27and this so-called Alpha
07:28was genuinely formidable.
07:31What a shame.
07:32I understand that to gain his approval,
07:34I must be even more ruthless.
07:36I looked back at him, ground my teeth.
07:38I've decided to give it, my all one, last time.
07:41I plunged the dagger, into his body again.
07:44He gripped my hand tightly,
07:46his grip as strong as iron.
07:48I couldn't break free from his wrist, at all.
07:50Every time I strained,
07:52my skull split with pain.
07:54A moment later,
07:55everything was white.
07:57I woke to cold water on my face.
07:59Richly furnished chamber,
08:01an older female pack servant stood over me,
08:03smirking.
08:04Little hybrid bastard.
08:05Thinking you deserve to be served?
08:07Why didn't you just die?
08:09She grabbed my collar,
08:10and forced a bowl of cold,
08:12congealed fat broth between my lips.
08:14The grease hit the back of my throat.
08:16I couldn't break the grip,
08:17so I drove my heel into the family instead.
08:20The bowl shattered on the floor.
08:22You filthy half-blood!
08:24She grabbed a chair from the bedside,
08:26and swirled.
08:27I rolled,
08:28snatched the candle holder,
08:30buried the metal spike in her abdomen.
08:32The scream brought the whole compound running.
08:34The chamber door slammed open.
08:36Alpha Silas stormed in,
08:38fuming behind him.
08:39A woman led the little Omega girl by the hand.
08:41The woman screamed at the sight of the servant,
08:43bleeding on the floor.
08:45Where did this mongol come from,
08:46daring to injure a werewolf?
08:49Today I'll show you what the rules of werewolves are.
08:51Before he slapped the man.
08:53I grabbed her arm and bit down on her neck,
08:55then spat directly onto her violently heated chest.
08:58She let out a piercing shriek.
09:00She scrambled frantically to pull off her clothes,
09:02but a number of low-ranking Omegas
09:04had just followed her into the room.
09:06She couldn't actually strip in front of them,
09:08so she could only cry,
09:10then grabbed the child and fled.
09:12Alpha Silas's face went cold as iron.
09:14Where is your mother?
09:14Tell me right now.
09:16I want to know what kind of creature she raised.
09:19I gave him one flat look,
09:21turned away from his self-righteous mouth,
09:26leaned over the side of the bed,
09:28and shoved two fingers down my throat.
09:30The cold griefs came back up across the stone floor.
09:33Silence.
09:34That servant was trying to kill me.
09:37I pointed at the cold soup on the floor.
09:40Cold fat broth poured into a starving stomach.
09:42That's not nursing technique.
09:44That's execution method.
09:45Cold broth.
09:46He looked down at the spilled bowl.
09:48The servant was in the wrong,
09:49but you had no cause to attack Selene.
09:51She is innocent.
09:52She is your aunt.
09:53She is your mother's younger sister.
09:55Her mate died.
09:57She's living here under pack protection.
09:58Don't invent the same paranoid stories your mother did.
10:01Stories?
10:02Her belly says otherwise.
10:03That child's origins are not your concern.
10:06You only need to know she poses no threat to you.
10:10He clenched his fists in anger.
10:11He scratched his head.
10:13Your mother.
10:14Where is she?
10:16Whatever monstrous thing she made of you,
10:18I intend to tell her myself.
10:20I said nothing.
10:22She's dead.
10:23Flatly, like stating the weather was back.
10:24My face snapped sideways.
10:26You don't say things like that.
10:27Not about your own blood.
10:30I raised my hand
10:31and stared at the blood-stained bandage
10:33around his waist.
10:34I should have aimed high.
10:36I should have gone for the heart.
10:39The Eastern Settlements.
10:41Three years ago,
10:42when the Witch Clan seized control,
10:44Gallows sold her into the flesh market
10:45another blow before I could brace.
10:48Stop lying.
10:50Tomorrow you take me to her.
10:52Living or dead,
10:53I want proof.
10:55I want to see what kind of life she built
10:58after she betrayed me.
11:01You couldn't ask for food?
11:03You had to let yourself collapse?
11:04This is a bid for sympathy?
11:06I did ask,
11:07before you recognized me.
11:09I asked if you could spare one coin.
11:12I said I wanted to buy something to eat.
11:13A flicker of something unnatural crossed his face.
11:16He remembered.
11:18Call me father.
11:20I didn't say anything.
11:21I just looked at him quietly.
11:23He narrowed his eyes.
11:24Can't speak?
11:25Won't?
11:26Then starve!
11:28He stormed out the door in anger.
11:31The servant who stayed was small,
11:32barely older than me.
11:34The moment the door shut,
11:35she took a piece of cake
11:36and put it in my hand.
11:38I'll sneak more from the kitchen.
11:39I looked at her in surprise.
11:41I held the cake under my nose
11:43and breathed in.
11:44Cold, but soft.
11:45Fragrant.
11:46For me?
11:47You're hungry.
11:48I can tell.
11:49You're older than me, but smaller.
11:52You haven't eaten properly in ages.
11:54Not really.
11:55At the start,
11:56it was three days hungry for every nine.
11:58At the worst,
11:59I eat everything.
12:01Does that disgust you?
12:02She smiled.
12:03Slightly.
12:04Then,
12:04she hugged me tightly.
12:06You've suffered so much.
12:08It was the first time
12:09since my mother and brother died
12:10that anyone had touched me with gentleness.
12:14I could tell the difference
12:15between real and performance.
12:17Always could.
12:19At least here there was food.
12:20Her name was Quinn.
12:22Eastern Settlements.
12:22Same as me.
12:23A half-blood.
12:24She'd fled the collapse of her parents
12:25and sold herself into pack service.
12:27Invested service beats the flesh market
12:29in a farm year.
12:30I'm sorry, I...
12:32Don't be.
12:34You're only saying what's true.
12:36I comforted her.
12:37The pack compound bed was obscenely soft.
12:40Furs thick.
12:41Quinn heated water to bring my fever down.
12:43And while she worked, she talked.
12:45Once.
12:46Five days without finding food.
12:49My father took his own knife
12:50and cut into his arm to feed us.
12:52Kept us alive long enough
12:54to reach Iron Moon territory.
12:56Her father lost the arm to infection.
12:58The pack compound wouldn't take a cripple,
13:00so he lived in a tent outside the walls,
13:02hauling waste from highbloods
13:03who wouldn't touch it themselves.
13:05Quinn and her mother visited whenever they could.
13:07I listened,
13:08and said nothing,
13:09and felt an ache I had no name for.
13:13Your father is the best father in the world.
13:15If only my mother had found someone like that.
13:18But she had no such luck.
13:19From as early as I could remember,
13:21Gallows would rent her out.
13:22Because my mother was beautiful,
13:24he would have her pretend to be an Omega
13:26and go to other households
13:27to bear hybrid children for them,
13:29since a hybrid status was higher than humans.
13:31If she still refused,
13:33he'd grab me by the throat and lift.
13:35Then she would go quietly.
13:36We were rarely together.
13:38I missed her constantly.
13:39But every time she came back,
13:41she always found one piece of sugar somewhere.
13:43Pressed it into my hand.
13:46Sweet things make a hard life easier, Lyra.
13:54The next morning,
13:55Alpha Silas pressed a palm to my forehead.
13:57The fever's down.
13:58Put on clothes.
13:59You're taking me to your mother.
14:00Yanked me from the bed,
14:01and told me to get dressed.
14:02The stolen clothes didn't fit.
14:04Quinn fussed with the lacing,
14:06then quietly asked Alpha Silas
14:08if she could lend me her money.
14:09Your mother still loves her little tricks,
14:10trying to make me feel sorry for you.
14:12There's nothing she won't stoop to.
14:14He gave me a mildly irritated look,
14:15then sent for a trader.
14:17Three sets of clothes arrived.
14:18None fit.
14:19The trader stared at me and exhaled.
14:21Eleven years old.
14:22This is a child of eight at most.
14:24Nothing but skin and winter wind.
14:26My best cuts can't hang on this.
14:28Alpha Silas stared at my wrists.
14:30Something complicated moved through his face.
14:32Find something that fits.
14:34The trader came back with planar cuts.
14:35Well made, warm,
14:37with a lynx fur collar.
14:38I didn't care about style.
14:40After three years of single layer stolen rags,
14:43the fox fur lining against my skin
14:45was almost too much to process.
14:47We were nearly to the pack boundary
14:49when Selene appeared.
14:50She drifted down the corridor in robes.
14:52That particular graceful frailty,
14:54that powerful men tend to mistake for virtue.
14:57My, what fine fabric.
14:59The Alpha is generous,
15:00even with those who've shown him no loyalty.
15:02Alpha Silas let go of my wrist
15:04and vaulted onto his direwolf
15:06without looking at her.
15:08She carries my blood.
15:10Feed her, clothe her,
15:11that much is simple.
15:13The resemblance is interesting,
15:15but she's undersized.
15:17Could be coincidence.
15:19Could be your blood.
15:21These things require verification, Alpha.
15:23I'll handle it my own way.
15:25Once I find her mother,
15:26I'll have answers.
15:27Your sister went missing eleven years ago.
15:29I've missed my sister.
15:31Perfect.
15:31Liar.
15:32Eleven years.
15:33May I come?
15:35I'll take good care of Phoebe.
15:37I won't get in anyone's way.
15:39He yielded.
15:40She won again.
15:41Extra servants crowded carriages.
15:43A trap in the parasite.
15:46I would not ride with that snake.
15:48Raisin.
15:50If you don't want to get hurt,
15:52you'd better stay away from me.
15:53I'm worried she'll hurt the child
15:55and blame it on me.
15:55And I'm worried I won't be able to stop myself
15:57from cutting her throat.
15:58You!
15:58You're exactly like my sister!
16:00Vicious!
16:01Paranoid!
16:01You can't possibly be his!
16:03You must be some bastard
16:04your mother conceived with another man
16:05after she betrayed the Alpha.
16:06Sleep with one eye open.
16:07I may come visiting.
16:09Feral hybrid.
16:11Come up.
16:12He called me Feral.
16:14He wasn't wrong.
16:15I chose the cold carriage
16:16over his games.
16:17I'd rather be cold
16:18than caged.
16:20When Selene approached a board,
16:22she was met with the fresh bone blade
16:24I'd ground from a broken bowl.
16:25The first one,
16:26Alpha Silas had confiscated.
16:28Your mother killed herself
16:30so they'd let you through
16:31my mother's family.
16:32After that,
16:33you took my mother's betrothed.
16:35I pointed the knife at her.
16:37And then you decided
16:38you wanted her Alpha.
16:39That's not...
16:40Lion and I loved each other
16:42and I have never
16:43with the Alpha.
16:45We are completely nothing!
16:47He protected her.
16:48Always.
16:49Satisfied!
16:50I gave him what he wanted.
16:52My mother is in
16:53Ravenmoor County.
16:55Western Territory.
16:56He didn't say anything.
16:58Let's move.
16:58He just waved his hand.
16:59The moment we passed
17:01beyond his pack's boundary,
17:02his beta had already
17:03prepared a new coach.
17:04for Selene.
17:06Selene came down.
17:07Alpha,
17:08you've done too much for me.
17:10Wasting so many resources
17:12on my account again.
17:13It's nothing.
17:14I looked at him
17:15with disdain.
17:16We walked in the snow
17:18for who knows how long.
17:19We finally arrived
17:20at the first outpost.
17:22We went inside.
17:23The innkeeper
17:24was a one-armed man.
17:26He looked at Alpha Silas
17:27and went pale.
17:28My lord,
17:29welcome.
17:30We have rooms prepared.
17:32We all took our seats.
17:34Selene sat at the head table,
17:36Phoebe on her lap,
17:37accepting compliments
17:38from the lesser betas.
17:40I sat in the corner,
17:42watching her.
17:43Eat, miss.
17:44It's warm.
17:45She passed me
17:45a plate of stew,
17:47thin but hot.
17:48Then at Selene,
17:49laughing softly
17:50at something,
17:51a guard said.
17:52Then at Alpha Silas,
17:54who was staring
17:54into his wine.
17:57Quinn,
17:57do you know
17:58who that woman is?
17:59Lady Selene.
18:00She's the Alpha's
18:01ah,
18:02companion.
18:02and that's
18:03her daughter,
18:04Phoebe.
18:04I tasted the word.
18:06It was bitter.
18:07Companion.
18:09And my mother?
18:10Quinn's face fell.
18:12I don't know,
18:13miss.
18:13I'm sorry.
18:15I am disappointed.
18:17I'm not hungry.
18:19Later that night,
18:20I couldn't sleep.
18:21I slipped from my room
18:22and crept
18:23toward the stables.
18:24As I passed the kitchen,
18:26I heard voices,
18:27low,
18:28familiar.
18:28I pressed myself
18:30against the wall
18:30and listened.
18:32A huge conspiracy
18:33is about to be uncovered.
18:36The little bitch is asleep.
18:38I saw her.
18:39She didn't touch her food.
18:40It was Quinn's voice,
18:41but the tone was wrong.
18:42Cold,
18:43calculating.
18:44Good.
18:45The poison is in the stew.
18:47She'll be dead by morning.
18:49And then we can sell she
18:50to the market.
18:51Alpha Silas won't miss a hybrid.
18:52And the Alpha?
18:53He's sleeping in the East Wing.
18:55Selina has him wrapped
18:55around her finger.
18:56He won't notice a thing.
18:57Selina's a fool.
18:58She thinks she's using us.
18:59But once the girl is gone,
19:00we'll take the Omega pup
19:01and trade her too.
19:02Pure blood Omegas
19:03fetch a high price.
19:04My blood turned to ice.
19:06Quinn,
19:06my gentle,
19:07kind Quinn.
19:08It was all a lie.
19:09Every word.
19:10I kicked open
19:11the kitchen door.
19:12My ghost inside.
19:14The one armed innkeeper
19:15and Quinn spun out
19:17and eyes wide.
19:18I laughed.
19:19The bone girl
19:20sank into her throat.
19:21She looked at me
19:22with disbelief
19:23then grabbed my arm tightly.
19:26The innkeeper
19:26roared and swung a cleaver.
19:28I ducked,
19:29slashed at his legs.
19:30He fell.
19:31I drove the blade
19:31into his chest.
19:33It is all over.
19:35Alpha appeared
19:36at the door.
19:37Lyra.
19:38He looked at me
19:39with surprise,
19:40seemingly unable
19:41to believe
19:41that I had done it all.
19:44He slowly walked
19:46towards me
19:46and then asked,
19:48What have you done?
19:49I looked at him.
19:50They were going
19:50to kill me
19:51and sell Phoebe.
19:53This one.
19:54I know him.
19:55Looked at Quinn's body.
19:56He was a rogue.
19:57Tried to ambush
19:58my patrol last year.
20:00I let him live.
20:02He walked
20:03towards me.
20:05And this one.
20:06She was my servant.
20:08She pretended
20:09to be kind.
20:10She gave me
20:11poison stew.
20:12She was working
20:13for Selene.
20:14Alpha Silas'
20:15face went hard.
20:16Selene would
20:17never.
20:19Senno would
20:20never.
20:21I took out a knife
20:23and wiped it.
20:24Wouldn't she?
20:25She hates my mother.
20:26She hates me.
20:27She wants your pack.
20:29And she'll kill anyone
20:30who gets in her way.
20:31Her eyes were open,
20:32staring at nothing.
20:33Clean this up
20:34and bury them
20:35outside the walls.
20:37I stood alone
20:38in the kitchen.
20:38The blood was still
20:39warm on my hands.
20:41I looked down
20:41at Quinn's face.
20:43I'm sorry.
20:44I whispered.
20:45I wanted to believe you.
20:47I found Alpha Simus
20:48in the stables,
20:49gently grooming
20:50his dire wolf,
20:51not noticing
20:51my arrival at all.
20:52Why didn't you
20:53tell me about the poison?
20:54I retorting,
20:55would you have
20:56believed me?
20:57You believe
20:58Selim is innocent?
20:59You believe
21:00my mother is a liar?
21:01Why would you
21:02believe me?
21:03He stopped grooming,
21:04turned to face me.
21:05His eyes were cold,
21:06but not angry.
21:07You killed
21:08a pack servant.
21:10Without proof.
21:11Without trial.
21:12He looked at me,
21:13really looked.
21:14For the first time,
21:15I think.
21:16She was going
21:17to kill me
21:17and you were sleeping.
21:20What would you
21:21have done?
21:22Held a trial
21:23in the morning
21:23while I was dead?
21:25I locked eyes
21:26with him.
21:27You're Bimrali.
21:30You have
21:30your mother's eyes
21:31and her temper.
21:33Not as a bastard,
21:34not as a nuisance,
21:36but as something else,
21:37something dangerous.
21:38The care seemed
21:39to freeze.
21:40This was the first time
21:41we looked at each other
21:42so calmly.
21:42No quarrels,
21:43no indifference.
21:44Only end in Spoken's emotions.
21:46He reached into his belt
21:47and pulled out a knife.
21:49Not a bone blade,
21:50a real knife.
21:50Take it.
21:51I stared at the knife,
21:53then at him.
21:54Why?
21:55He paused.
21:57Because you'll need it.
21:58The road ahead is dangerous,
21:59and I won't always be there
22:00to save you.
22:01I looked down at the knife.
22:03I took the knife.
22:04The metal was cold
22:05in my hand.
22:07He nodded.
22:08Get some sleep.
22:09We ride at dawn.
22:10I turned to leave,
22:12then stopped.
22:15Alpha Simus.
22:16My name is Lyra.
22:18Not hybrid.
22:20Not bastard.
22:23Lyra.
22:24He was silent for a moment,
22:25then he nodded.
22:27Lyra.
22:28I walked out of the stables.
22:30The air was cold,
22:31but for the first time in years,
22:33I didn't feel the chill.
22:35I climbed into the supply carriage.
22:37Selene was asleep inside.
22:39Phoebe curled against her chest.
22:41I looked at them.
22:42Then at the knife in my hand.
22:43I could do it now.
22:45Kill them both.
22:46But not yet.
22:47Not until I had what I wanted.
22:49I sheathed the knife
22:50and went to sleep.
22:55We traveled for three days.
22:57The landscape.
23:03After a long journey,
23:04we finally arrived at a small town.
23:07People stared at our possession.
23:10The Alpha on his direwolf.
23:12The lady in her fine carriage.
23:14The supply cart with the hybrid bastard.
23:16On the fourth day,
23:18we stopped at a market town.
23:19Alpha Silas went to meet with the local beta.
23:24Selene took Phoebe shopping.
23:26I was left with the guards.
23:27I wandered the market,
23:28looking for nothing,
23:29just watching.
23:30In the afternoon,
23:31Alpha Silas ordered the guards
23:33to take Zoe and Phoebe
23:34back to the pack first.
23:36They need you safe.
23:37Phoebe needs her mother whole.
23:39I need to know you are behind walls
23:41when I face what comes.
23:43She relented.
23:44She took Phoebe
23:46and boarded the carriage
23:47with the guards.
23:49The carriage disappeared
23:51into the dust.
23:52Silas turned to Lyra.
23:54We ride east.
23:55She was last seen
23:56near the crumpling spires.
23:58Father and daughter,
23:59Alpha and hybrid
24:00into the bleakening east.
24:02We reached Ravenmere County
24:04on the seventh day.
24:05There is no one here.
24:07It was a ghost town.
24:10Half the buildings were burned.
24:12The rest were falling down.
24:13The air smelled
24:15of ash and rot.
24:17Alpha Silas looked around.
24:19This is where she lived.
24:20Yes.
24:21This is where Gallows sold her.
24:23We rode to the edge of town,
24:25to a small house,
24:26or what was left of it.
24:27The roof was gone.
24:29The walls were crumbled.
24:30Leads flew through the floor.
24:31I slowly walked in.
24:33The memories hit me
24:34like a physical blow.
24:35My mother singing.
24:36My brother laughing.
24:38Gallows drunk and angry.
24:40The night he sold her.
24:41I fell to my knees.
24:43The dust was wet.
24:44It had been raining.
24:45Or maybe it was my tears.
24:46I didn't know.
24:47I couldn't stop.
24:50Alpha Silas stood in the doorway.
24:52He didn't come in.
24:54Where is she?
24:55She's here.
24:56I looked up.
24:57My face was streaked
24:58with mud and tears.
25:00Alpha did not believe.
25:01I don't see her.
25:04She's here.
25:05In the ground.
25:06I started digging
25:08with my hands.
25:09The earth was soft.
25:11Wet.
25:12Alpha Silas watched.
25:13He didn't help.
25:14He just watched.
25:15After an hour,
25:16I hit something.
25:17Bone.
25:18Small.
25:19Fragile.
25:19I pulled it out.
25:20A child's rib.
25:21Then another.
25:22These aren't hers.
25:24These are a child's.
25:25My brother.
25:28Gallows killed him.
25:30And buried him here.
25:32With her.
25:34I kept digging deeper.
25:36The rain fell harder.
25:37I didn't care.
25:38I found a skull.
25:39Small.
25:40Broken.
25:41Mama.
25:44This isn't her.
25:50What?
25:51This is a child's skull.
25:53Your mother was an adult.
25:55These bones are too small.
25:57Then where is she?
25:59I don't know.
26:01But I'll find her.
26:02And when I do,
26:03I'll kill Gallows.
26:06I'll help you.
26:09Good.
26:10Because you're the only one
26:11who knows what he's capable of.
26:13We buried the bones.
26:14My brother's bones.
26:16In a shallow grave
26:17behind the house.
26:18I didn't have a marker.
26:19Just a stone.
26:21I need to find my mama.
26:23So I must pretend
26:24to get close to him
26:25and his wolf clan.
26:27Lyra.
26:28He spoke slowly.
26:30You're coming with me.
26:31To Iron Moon Pack.
26:33Perfect for me.
26:34Yes, father.
26:36Yes, father.
