He Killed My Pack. I Stole His Heart 2026 Ep,21
Transcript
00:00Sebastian Bloodfang, Alpha of the strongest pack, the Silver Moon Pack, liked to tear
00:05apart smaller packs for fun.
00:07When I was nine, he slaughtered my entire pack.
00:09The packhouse was stacked with the bodies of everyone I loved.
00:13Blood soaked into every inch of the floor.
00:16That massacre gave the Silver Moon Pack land.
00:19Land that bought him a bride, Aurora Gleamhowl, daughter of the Gleamhall Packs Alpha.
00:25So I sold myself to the Shadow District's first and finest brothel, the Blood Rose.
00:30Years later, he had a fight with his wife and showed up at the Blood Rose.
00:34And then, he asked for me.
00:36After my pack was wiped out, I changed my name and ran to Silver Moon City.
00:40The place was wet up all night.
00:41Howls came from the packhouse, celebrating.
00:44People were roasting meat in the streets, carrying Deo on my shoulders, dancing.
00:49I crouched in a corner and listened to two drunk wolves talk.
00:52Alpha Blood Flare came out on top, took the Night Moon Pack's land, and took the Gleamhowl
00:59Pack's daughter as his mate.
01:00Three days of celebration.
01:02Half the packhouse has already passed out.
01:04Then the crowd went quiet.
01:05I looked up.
01:06A massive silver-gray wolf walked down the street toward me.
01:10Slow steps, claws scraping stone.
01:13He stopped right in front of me.
01:14Blood-red eyes locked on mine.
01:17Then, he shifted.
01:18Bones cracked and rearranged.
01:20A few seconds later, a young man stood there, dark hair messed up, sweat on his temples.
01:25The crowd roared.
01:27Since when does Silver Moon City let rogues wander in?
01:31He barely glanced at me.
01:32Then he walked off, left a few silver coins on the ground.
01:35I picked them up and headed straight for Shadow Alley.
01:38There was a brothel there.
01:39The Blood Rose.
01:42Margaret Red Moon runs Blood Rose.
01:45Forties.
01:46Scarlet the corner of her mouth.
01:47Her smile could skin you alive.
01:49She took me in, saw my face, and decided I was worth the investment.
01:53Started training me like they train high-blooded wolves.
01:56Etiquette.
01:57Conversation.
01:58How to play soft and helpless.
01:59She wasn't raising a whore.
02:01She was raising a Luna.
02:03Some of the other girls got jealous, tried to mess up my face.
02:06But Margaret always seemed to show up just in time.
02:10Margaret beat her half to death.
02:11The girls screamed that it wasn't fair.
02:13Margaret just laughed, grabbed her by the hair, and dragged her to my feet.
02:17Her voice was ice.
02:18Look at her.
02:19Really look.
02:20Do you have even half her face?
02:22That Aurora Silver Moon everyone worships?
02:25The one with alpha blood lead wrapped around her finger?
02:28Night Rose is prettier.
02:29And you want to talk to me about fair?
02:31Then she had the girl thrown in the back.
02:33I watched the whole thing without flinching.
02:35Margaret noticed.
02:36She smiled.
02:37Don't worry, Night Rose.
02:39I won't let anyone touch that face.
02:41I knew exactly what she meant.
02:43I saw that girl again later, covered in sores, rotting alive.
02:47Just you wait, Night Rose!
02:49She'll toss you out like garbage the second you age out!
02:52Like I didn't already know.
02:53My father taught me something before he died.
02:56No one does anything for nothing.
02:57They always want something.
02:59Margaret wants a big payday.
03:01Everyone knows it.
03:03What they don't know?
03:04That's exactly what I want.
03:07Let her build my reputation.
03:10Let my name spread.
03:14I was 15 the first time I performed.
03:17Big stage.
03:19Candlelight tracing every curve.
03:21The neckline of my dress cut low.
03:23My voice drifted through the room like smoke.
03:26Soft.
03:26Aching.
03:27Impossible to look away from.
03:29One song, and the whole city knew my name.
03:32That's when Sebastian came back.
03:33Dominic Darkclo brought him.
03:35Dominic's his right hand.
03:37Also a regular at Blood Rose.
03:39I heard them through the door.
03:41Dominic was trying to talk him down.
03:44Alpha, you and the Luna had a fight.
03:46I need to shake off the wave.
03:47Drink something.
03:48Hear some music.
03:49Better than sitting at home fuming, right?
03:51Silence.
03:53Look, you've been married five years.
03:55No kids.
03:56Helene's been pushing you to find another woman.
03:58And Aurora scratched your face up over it.
04:01You go out tomorrow looking like that, people are gonna talk.
04:03I pushed the dope in.
04:05I saw the scratches on Sebastian's face and neck immediately.
04:09Blood still wet.
04:10Against his pale skin they looked brutal.
04:12I acted like I saw nothing.
04:14Walked up to both of them.
04:15Lowered my head.
04:16Let my hair fall forward.
04:18My neck was bare.
04:19Pale.
04:20Warm.
04:20Carrying that faint omega scent.
04:22The room went still for half a second.
04:25I felt his eyes eyes on the back of my neck.
04:28Hot.
04:28Heavy.
04:30Night Rose.
04:34At your service, I'll.
04:39Dominic looked me over.
04:40Grinned at Sebastian.
04:42How the hell did I know this one was in the city?
04:45She might be prettier than Aurora.
04:46He was joking.
04:48Sebastian didn't think it was funny.
04:51He grabbed my chin.
04:52Hard.
04:53His voice was frozen.
04:55You think a filthy rogue deserves to mention it in the same sentence as my Luna?
05:00He was strong enough to crush my jaw.
05:02I went pale.
05:03Let tears wake up.
05:04Looked scared and small.
05:05Please.
05:06Alpha.
05:07I'm nothing.
05:08I sell my face for a living.
05:10I would never.
05:11I could never.
05:12Compared to your Luna.
05:13The tears fell just right.
05:15The angle of my face.
05:17Carefully chosen.
05:18I knew I looked a little like her.
05:20Just then.
05:21Sebastian's eyes went dark.
05:22Night Rose.
05:23I hear you can sing.
05:25Yes, sir.
05:25Sebastian released me.
05:27Give us something.
05:29Help the Alpha forget his troubles.
05:30I started to sing.
05:32Low.
05:33And slow.
05:34Like wind through trees.
05:37Like waves pulling away from shore.
05:39Dominic was gone.
05:40Lost in it.
05:41Even Sebastian set down his drink.
05:43His eyes landed on me.
05:45Heavy.
05:45The frown he'd walked in with.
05:48Gone.
05:49Gone.
05:49I saw everything.
05:51Smiled.
05:51Just a little.
05:53Where no one could see.
05:54Then the door banged open.
05:56A beta guard stumbled in panicked.
05:59Alpha.
06:00The Luna heard you came to Blood Rose.
06:02She's threatening to kill herself back at the pack house.
06:05Sebastian was on his feet and moving before the sentence finished.
06:08But at the door he stopped.
06:10Turned.
06:10Looked at me.
06:11What's your name?
06:12I dropped my gaze.
06:14Let my lips curl.
06:15Let my voice go soft and slow.
06:17I am.
06:21Everyone in Silvermon City knows the story.
06:24Mated five years.
06:25No kids.
06:27Sebastian swore he'd be faithful to Aurora.
06:30Never touched another woman.
06:31Never even went to places like this.
06:33Until his mother Helena started pushing him to find someone else.
06:37Aurora went wild.
06:39Tore apart the pack house.
06:41Brought it all to a halt.
06:42She also made Helena sick with worry.
06:45And yeah Sebastian loves her.
06:46But how long can you watch your wife treat your mother like that?
06:50Long enough to end up at Blood Rose apparently.
06:53Was it a fight?
06:55A power play?
06:58Who knows.
06:59After they left Margaret rushed in.
07:01Saw the bruise on my jaw.
07:03Started ordering salves.
07:20I walked to the window.
07:22Sebastian was looking up from across the street.
07:24I smiled at him.
07:25After he walked away, I licked my lips.
07:28Once an alpha breaks his rule, that's a wolf tasting blood.
07:31He won't stop now even if he wants to.
07:35He came back three days later.
07:37Black shirt.
07:38Frown.
07:39Carved into his face.
07:40Do you know Moonlit Vow?
07:41Yes alpha.
07:42I sang.
07:43Soft.
07:43Yearning.
07:44Like someone in love.
07:45Nothing fake.
07:46No extra sweetness.
07:47Sebastian leaned back in his chair.
07:49Watched me.
07:49And fell asleep.
07:51I finished the song.
07:52Sat there looking at him.
07:53So comfortable.
07:54So trusting.
07:55I could have killed him right then.
07:57He'd have died smiling.
07:58I stood up.
07:59Picked up the box of ointment.
08:00Walked over.
08:01He caught my wrist before I got close.
08:03Eyes wide open.
08:04Sharp.
08:04He hadn't slept at all.
08:05What are you doing?
08:06I held up the box.
08:07Tears clinging to my lashes.
08:09I just wanted to put medicine on your cuts, alpha.
08:12Don't do extra.
08:13Healing salve.
08:14Didn't know trash like you could afford something this expensive.
08:17He was trying to hurt me.
08:18Deliberately.
08:19I bit my lip.
08:19Then smiled.
08:20Soft.
08:21Alpha, I sell my looks for a living.
08:23Of course I care about my face.
08:25I don't want to end up old and ugly and thrown away.
08:28He blinked.
08:29Wasn't expecting that.
08:30Margaret told me once.
08:31Sebastian doesn't like simping girls.
08:33Aurora's cold crowd can't be too strong.
08:35I spent five years learning that balance.
08:37Just for this moment.
08:38Just to get his attention.
08:39I know I'm nothing alpha.
08:41Dirt compared to you.
08:43But you're a great alpha.
08:45A strong one.
08:46And I hate the idea of people laughing at you.
08:49Please.
08:49Let me help.
08:51I let my voice drop.
08:52He stared at me for a long time.
08:54Then he nodded.
08:55Fine.
08:55Thank you alpha.
08:56I knelt in front of him.
08:58My fingers were cold.
08:59I raised myself up half standing.
09:01Still on my knees.
09:02And spread the salve along the scratches on his neck.
09:04Gentle.
09:05Careful.
09:06Sebastian's breath caught.
09:07His jaw tightened.
09:08He looked away.
09:09His hands curled into fists.
09:11He didn't notice the way I was looking at him.
09:13Cold.
09:13Empty.
09:14Like he was already dead.
09:17After that night Sebastian started coming all the time.
09:20Not for sex.
09:21Just to listen.
09:22Sometimes he'd fall asleep mid song.
09:24Then he started bringing his work.
09:26He'd read reports.
09:27I'd pour his wine.
09:28Rub his shoulders when he got tired.
09:30He paid like a king.
09:31Margaret was thrilled.
09:32One of the other girls got jealous.
09:34Tried to drug him.
09:35Crawled into his lap all fucked up on heat herbs.
09:38Sebastian grabbed her by the hair and threw her out the door.
09:41Then he sent her to the border mines.
09:44The other women were shaking.
09:45Crying.
09:46Terrified.
09:46I just stood there.
09:48Watching.
09:49He looked at me.
09:49Went still.
09:50Then he almost smiled.
09:52Thought you weren't scared of anything.
09:53I blinked fast.
09:54Let my voice go small.
09:56How could I not be scared alpha?
09:58Just like her.
09:59One wrong move and I end up the same way.
10:01You're not like her.
10:02He didn't explain.
10:03Just said.
10:03Sing.
10:04When he left.
10:05His temper was gone.
10:06At the door.
10:07He shifted into wolf form.
10:09Paused.
10:10Looked back at me.
10:11Don't be afraid.
10:12I let my whole face light up.
10:13I trust you alpha.
10:14Word spread fast.
10:15People said Sebastian was hooked.
10:17That he'd claim me soon.
10:18Aurora heard the rumors.
10:20She didn't say anything.
10:21Just sent a gamma and some muscle to trash blood rose.
10:23The gamma slapped me across the face about 20 times.
10:26Filthy haught.
10:27She said.
10:28Like I was something she'd scraped off her shoe.
10:30You think you could be Luna?
10:31Don't make me laugh.
10:33Next time.
10:34I'll kill you.
10:35Then they left.
10:36Margaret ran to me screaming for salves and ice.
10:39I just laughed.
10:40After that.
10:41I stopped taking clients.
10:42Stayed in my room.
10:43Let my face heal.
10:44Everyone said I was ruined.
10:46That Sebastian would never come back.
10:48Seven days.
10:49Nothing.
10:50The other girls circled like vultures.
10:52Finally.
10:53Finally they had something to hold over me.
10:55What do we do?
10:56Was all of it for nothing?
10:57I looked in the mirror.
10:58My face was perfect again.
11:00Margaret.
11:01If he won't come to us.
11:02We make him come.
11:04The next day I went back on the roster.
11:06Not just singing this time.
11:07The bids came in fast.
11:09Every man in the city wanted a taste of what Alpha Bloodbund had been having.
11:13Margaret was counting coins like a dragon.
11:15Then the door caved in.
11:17Sebastian.
11:22His face was black thunder.
11:24He scanned the room.
11:25Everyone there flinched under his glare.
11:27Then his eyes found me.
11:29I smiled.
11:32Alpha.
11:33You're here.
11:34He grabbed my hand.
11:36Hauled me to a private room.
11:40Threw me on the bed.
11:42Pinned me down.
11:43Fingers digging into my jaw.
11:45Night Rose.
11:46Are you that desperate?
11:49I'm gone a few days and you're already spreading your legs for anyone who walks in?
11:53I didn't flinch.
11:54Alpha.
11:55I work at Blood Rose.
11:56I don't get to say no.
11:58I'm a thing to you people.
11:59The highest bidder wins.
12:01He went still.
12:03I traced my fingers up his cheek.
12:05Anyway.
12:05Your wife wrecked the place.
12:07Margaret had to make up the losses somehow.
12:10Then I'll be your first.
12:11I didn't answer.
12:12Just looped my arms around his neck.
12:15Pulled him down.
12:19I woke up the next morning to him pulling on his clothes.
12:23He saw my eyes open and kissed my cheek.
12:27Sleep.
12:28I'll come back tonight.
12:30Okay.
12:32I kissed the corner of his mouth.
12:35I'll wait.
12:36He smiled and left.
12:40The second the door closed, I sat up.
12:43My soft smile vanished.
12:45Every bruise he'd left on me was a dark flower across my skin.
12:49I smiled at myself in the mirror.
12:53Cold.
12:55After that night, everyone knew I belonged to him.
12:59Hey, you. Come here.
13:01Except one idiot.
13:02Some border alpha's son got drunk and bold.
13:06Called for me.
13:09Sebastian heard about it.
13:19Walked out without a word.
13:23Next morning, they found that kid in a field outside the city.
13:28Both legs shattered.
13:31Rough rich buying into us in jail.
13:36Margaret told me about it.
13:37Shook her head.
13:38Bones were basically powder.
13:40Meat holding them together.
13:42He was screaming that Silvermoon did it.
13:45Silvermoon did it.
13:46She looked at me funny.
13:48I didn't say anything.
13:50Just pin the ruby-haircliff Sebastian had given me into my hair.
13:53Blood red.
13:54The only one of its kind in the city.
13:56He'd picked the stone himself, he said.
13:58Had it made special.
14:00Said it suited me.
14:02He loved big.
14:04Loud.
14:05With his whole chest.
14:07I looked at my reflection.
14:09Smiled.
14:11Doesn't matter if anyone believes him.
14:14Who's going to accuse the Silvermoon Alpha?
14:17After that, my name came off the roster.
14:21Everyone said Sebastian was obsessed.
14:23That he was falling for me.
14:25The rumors spread like fire.
14:31And finally, finally, I met Aurora Silvermoon.
14:38I grew up in the borderlands.
14:40Flat plains that went on forever.
14:43Wind that could run.
14:44Wolves that could chase it.
14:46You could run all day and never hit the edge.
14:48It wasn't like Silvermoon City.
14:50No rules.
14:51I ran with my father and brothers.
14:54Laughed when I wanted.
14:57Cried when I wanted.
14:58My mother always told me to act like a lady.
15:01Said no Alpha would want me otherwise.
15:04Celeste.
15:05Spine.
15:07She hired teachers from the city to drill monals into me.
15:11I hated every second of it.
15:13The teachers gave up and ratted me out.
15:15My mother was about to lose her mind when my father grabbed me, threw me over his shoulder,
15:20and ran laps around the yard.
15:21I was shrieking with laughter.
15:23Anyone who laughs can fight me.
15:24My mother gave up.
15:25My brothers were laughing.
15:27My little sister grabbed my father's leg and demanded a turn.
15:30The night moon pack house house was always full of laughter back then.
15:35I could be a brat because someone always had my back.
15:38Just like Aurora.
15:39She can fight with Helena.
15:41Trash the pack house.
15:43Throw tantrums.
15:44Because Sebastian and her father will always protect her.
15:47But I'm not that girl anymore.
15:49My pack is gone.
15:51My family is dead.
15:52I'm just a whore.
15:54One wrong step and I'm nothing.
15:56Celestine could be selfish.
15:58Night Rose can't.
15:59Because Night Rose has no one.
16:01He thinks he loves me now.
16:03But if I ever challenged Aurora outright?
16:05If I made him choose?
16:07He'd drop me so fast.
16:09I've always known that.
16:10Aurora doesn't.
16:11She's still fighting for his complete devotion.
16:14Still furious that he looks at me.
16:16Still thinks she's too good to dirty her hands with someone like me.
16:19And five years without a pup?
16:21That business with Helena finding him someone else?
16:24Does anyone really think Sebastian didn't know?
16:26Or was he testing her limits too?
16:28I don't know.
16:29But I know this.
16:31Aurora is going to destroy herself.
16:33Trying to hold on to a fairy tale.
16:35And it won't be because of me.
16:37It'll be because of him.
16:39Because his heart is already changing.
16:41Whether he admits it or not.
16:45After that party, everyone heard Sebastian said I wasn't fit to be a servant.
16:50She's too low-boned.
16:51Not fit.
16:53They all waited for him to drop me.
16:56But he kept coming to Blood Rose.
16:58Kept calling my name.
17:00Kept sending gifts.
17:02Chests of them.
17:03Piling up in my room.
17:05Until I was the richest girl in the house.
17:08One night, Sebastian didn't show.
17:10I was about to sleep when Margaret carried him in, reeking of whiskey.
17:19Had another fight.
17:20She mouthed.
17:21I took him.
17:24Laid him down.
17:25He groaned.
17:27His face was flushed.
17:29His brows twisted.
17:30Started rubbing his temples.
17:34Head hurt.
17:36Why is everyone pushing me?
17:39Why can't they just stop?
17:42I understood immediately.
17:44His family wants an heir.
17:46Silver Moon Pack Law says he can have only one true mate.
17:50But it doesn't say anything about pups from other females.
17:54They've been pushing him to take another for years.
17:57Aurora's family won't let her be disrespected.
18:00And Aurora herself?
18:01She wants all of him or nothing.
18:03So Sebastian's trapped between his mate and his pack.
18:07Great at fighting.
18:08Terrible at politics.
18:09Rest.
18:11He muddled something.
18:14I started working on his belt.
18:19Would you...
18:20I looked up.
18:22He stared at me.
18:24Then shook his head.
18:25I smiled.
18:30He grabbed me and pulled me down.
18:40The next morning, he left before dawn.
18:43A maid brought me a bowl of dark liquid.
18:47Sebastian said it was medicine.
18:48You don't need that anymore.
18:50You're healthy now.
18:51Thank you, Alpha.
18:53Margaret heard I'd stop the tea and came to find me.
18:57If you get pregnant, Aurora will kill you.
18:59Or her pack will.
19:00Even if Silvermine wants a pup, they'll cut you open and take it.
19:03You'll be dead either way.
19:05She was practically shaking, eyes red.
19:08You've been with him for months.
19:10I thought maybe he cared.
19:13But this...
19:15Men are poison!
19:16I looked down at the ruby clip in my hands.
19:19Traced its edge.
19:21Alpha said he'll protect me.
19:24I trust him.
19:26Margaret grabbed my shoulders.
19:28Night Rose.
19:29Listen to me.
19:31You cannot get pregnant.
19:33I cut her off.
19:34Smiled.
19:35Margaret, it's fine.
19:37I'm just a cheap whore.
19:38If everyone decides I need to die,
19:40at least I'll die doing something for him.
19:44And when I'm gone, you can keep all this pretty jewelry.
19:48Think of me.
19:50She pulled me into a hug.
19:53Do you really love him that much?
19:55Yes.
19:58I love him.
20:01You sweet, stupid girl.
20:03She sighed against my hair.
20:05I watched the window over her shoulder.
20:08Listened to footsteps fade.
20:10And smiled.
20:12That evening, Sebastian came.
20:18You're not a rogue anymore, Night Rose.
20:20I found you a place.
20:22Someone will take you tomorrow.
20:24Okay, Alpha.
20:25You don't want to know where?
20:28Not worried I'm gonna hurt you?
20:31He laughed.
20:33I leaned into his chest.
20:35Looked up at him like he hung the moon.
20:37You would never hurt me, Alpha.
20:41He kissed me.
20:43His voice went low.
20:45No.
20:46I'll protect you.
20:48Where he couldn't see, I let my smile turn sharp.
20:51No longer a rogue means no one can touch me without cause.
20:54Not Aurora.
20:56Not her pack.
20:57One little performance as a love-blind fool.
21:00And I got exactly what I wanted.
21:07He moved me to a house outside the city.
21:10A garden full of trees.
21:11Spring wind tossing flower petals through the air.
21:15Pretty.
21:16I'll give him that.
21:18Sebastian takes care of his things.
21:22Maybe he just wanted a pup to fix his family problems.
21:27Maybe he wasn't planning to have me killed after all.
21:33In May, the healer confirmed it.
21:40Sebastian lit up like a kid on solstice.
21:42He tipped everyone.
21:43The maids, the healer, the cook.
21:46That night, he touched my stomach like I was made of glass.
21:50We're having a pup night, Rose.
21:52Yeah.
21:53We are.
21:57After that, he came even more often.
22:00Sometimes stayed for weeks.
22:03We slept tangled together like real mates.
22:07He thought he was hiding me.
22:08The pregnancy.
22:10The house.
22:14But secrets don't stay buried.
22:17Aurora found me.
22:22She dragged me to the pack house.
22:24Made me stand in front of Helena.
22:28Helena heard what I was.
22:30A blood rose whore.
22:32Her face went cold.
22:34Then she heard I was pregnant.
22:37Her eyes lit up.
22:39Maybe we should bring you in as a servant.
22:43Aurora's face went white.
22:45She'd played this game before.
22:47Offered to make me a servant because she knew Sebastian would say no.
22:50But Helena is his mother.
22:51And last time they fought about this, Sebastian didn't talk to Aurora for two weeks.
22:55It was all I needed.
22:57Aurora couldn't say no this time.
22:59She just stood there, red-eyed, glaring at me like she wanted to rip my throat out.
23:04Like I would ever say yes.
23:08I dropped my knees, pressed my forehead to the floor.
23:12I know I'm not worthy of a title, my lady.
23:14I only want to serve the alpha.
23:16The pup?
23:18It's his.
23:19I'll give it to you after it's born.
23:21I'm not fit to be its mother.
23:23Helena stared at me, then laughed.
23:25No wonder my son likes you.
23:28You actually listen.
23:30Unlike some people around here who just scream and break things.
23:34She was looking right at Aurora when she said it.
23:37Aurora went gray.
23:38Her hands shook.
23:41She looked at me like she wanted to flay me alive.
23:46Aurora blocked my carriage on the way out.
23:48Don't think that pup makes you special.
23:51I will never let a thing like you into this house.
23:54I don't want to come into your house, Luna.
23:56Her face twisted.
23:57What, you think you'll be Luna instead?
23:59Dream on!
24:00No, I looked at her.
24:02I'm going to have this pup.
24:03And if you still want me gone after...
24:06I'll leave.
24:07What the hell did you just-
24:08Leave?
24:09We both turned.
24:09Sebastian was standing there.
24:11Sweat on his temples.
24:12He looked at me first.
24:14Whole body relaxing when he saw I was okay.
24:16Then he'd heard the last part.
24:17Leave.
24:18Where exactly do you think you're going?
24:20I didn't answer.
24:21His eyes narrowed.
24:22He took my hand.
24:24Led me to the carriage.
24:25Aurora stood frozen on the sidewalk.
24:27Watching her mate walk away from her.
24:29Toward me.
24:30I let the curtain fall.
24:31And smiled.
24:33This was the first time.
24:35The very first time.
24:36He picked me over her.
24:38First time won't be the last.
24:39Inside the carriage, shadows sliding across Sebastian's face.
24:43Why did you say that?
24:45Say what?
24:45That you'd leave.
24:46I blinked.
24:47Smiled soft.
24:50Whatever the Luna wants.
24:52Alpha.
24:53He went rigid.
24:54What about what I want?
24:55You're carrying my pup.
24:56You're mine.
24:57Why are you listening to her?
24:58I looked confused.
25:00A little scared.
25:01He exhaled.
25:01Grabbed my hand.
25:02Squeezed.
25:03I told you.
25:04I'll protect you.
25:05Just have the pup.
25:05Leave the rest to me.
25:06Don't be afraid.
25:07I trust you, Alpha.
25:08I swear.
25:10The pup never came.
25:12Five months in, Sebastian went out of town.
25:14Aurora sent men.
25:16They dragged me to a warehouse.
25:17She was waiting.
25:18You think you can steal my mate with your whore tricks?
25:20She grabbed my face.
25:21You think I don't know what you're doing?
25:23I clutched my stomach.
25:24Said nothing.
25:25She looked at the bump.
25:26Her eyes went wild.
25:27Fine.
25:28You wanna play games?
25:30I'll kill the bastard.
25:31Then we'll see how special you are.
25:33A bowl of dark liquid.
25:35Two wolves holding me down.
25:36I struggled.
25:37Slap across my face.
25:38My head snapped sideways.
25:40They forced my mouth open.
25:41Poured.
25:42I stopped fighting.
25:43I whispered.
25:44Help.
25:44You think he'll come?
25:46You think he'd ever pick you over me?
25:48No one cares if you die, you worthless.
25:51The door crashed open.
25:52Sebastian.
25:53He took one look at the scene and went absolutely still.
25:56Night rose.
25:57I smiled at him.
25:59Blood on my lips.
26:00Alpha.
26:02You came.
26:03He caught me as I fell.
26:04Looked down at his hands.
26:05They were red.
26:06He'd seen battlefields.
26:07Bodies.
26:08Blood everywhere.
26:09But his face went white.
26:10Get a healer!
26:12Now!
26:12Sebastian.
26:13I can explain.
26:14He shook her off.
26:15Take the Luna home.
26:16She's not to leave.
26:17Didn't even look at her.
26:18Aurora's face crumpled.
26:20You're confining me?
26:23For her?
26:24But he was already carrying me out the door.
26:28The house smelled like blood all night.
26:30My seltzers relaxed around.
26:32Sebastian sat in the hall.
26:33Listened to me scream.
26:35The healer came out.
26:36White as paper.
26:37The pup was gone.
26:38And I might be too.
26:39Sebastian pushed past her.
26:41Found me lying in a pool of red.
26:43My hand was cold.
26:44He took it.
26:45I opened my eyes.
26:46I'm sorry, Alpha.
26:48Couldn't keep our pup safe.
26:49His throat worked.
26:51It's not your fault.
26:52It's mine.
26:53I shook my head.
26:54Tears sliding down my temples.
26:55Maybe I was never meant to have nice things.
26:57I dreamed too big.
26:58Now I'm waking up.
26:59I keep hearing something.
27:02Calling me.
27:05Do you think the pup is waiting for me?
27:07He pulled me against his chest.
27:09Don't talk like that.
27:11You're going to live.
27:12We'll have more pups.
27:14Together.
27:15I looked at him.
27:16Really?
27:16His face crumpled.
27:18Really?
27:18I smiled.
27:19Let my eyes drift closed.
27:21Listened to his footsteps fade as he went to handle Aurora.
27:24And opened my eyes again.
27:26They were dry.
27:27One pup.
27:27That's all it took.
27:28One pup to shatter the last good thing Eloria had in his heart.
27:32Even if she hadn't come for me, I would never have carried that thing to term.
27:35I sleep next to the man who murdered my family every night.
27:38Do you think I'd let his cup grow inside me?
27:41I stayed in that house for two weeks.
27:44Healing.
27:45Sebastian came less often.
27:46Sent letters I never opened.
27:48I just stared at the dead tree outside my window.
27:50The maids tried to cheer me up with gossip.
27:52Alpha severing the mate bond, you know.
27:54On grounds of infidelity.
27:56They were practically giggling.
27:57She threw a fit at the pack house, but no one took her side.
28:00She's burned every bridge she had.
28:03Her pack tried to plead for her.
28:05Alpha wouldn't even let them in the door.
28:06Don't you think it's time to forgive him, miss?
28:08He did this for you.
28:09You keep ignoring him, he might find someone else.
28:12Then what will you do?
28:13I smiled.
28:14Then I'll die.
28:16I was supposed to die anyway.
28:17Don't say that.
28:18Sebastian's voice.
28:19Low.
28:20Angry.
28:20I didn't turn around.
28:21He came up behind me.
28:22Wrapped his arms around my waist.
28:24Would scatter different.
28:25Pressed his face into my hair.
28:27Be my mate, Night Rose.
28:28I went still.
28:29Be my Luna.
28:30No one will ever hurt you again.
28:32I turned.
28:33Looked at him.
28:34Be your Luna.
28:35I love you.
28:35The words tumbled out like he'd been choking on them.
28:37I didn't want to say it.
28:38I was scared you'd use it against me.
28:41But I'm more scared of you leaving.
28:43When did I? I don't know.
28:44The first time I saw you.
28:46The first time you sang.
28:47I can't explain it.
28:48His eyes were blazing.
28:49The way they used to blaze for Aurora.
28:51I remember watching him.
28:53After the massacre.
28:54Laughing with his pack.
28:56Celebrating his engagement.
28:57He looked at her the same way he's looking at me now.
29:01Aurora tried to see me.
29:03Sebastian wouldn't let her near.
29:04Said he couldn't risk her hurting me again.
29:06His perfect moon had shattered.
29:08But he was still scared of the pieces.
29:10I heard she was causing chaos at her pack's estate.
29:13Screaming that she had to see him.
29:15Begging.
29:15No one would listen.
29:16Even her own family was sick of her.
29:19Sebastian came to me every day.
29:20Sometimes with little gifts.
29:22Sometimes with fresh welts on his back.
29:25The elders had been beating him for wanting to mate with a whore.
29:28He didn't care.
29:29He wouldn't back down.
29:30A parent breaks before a pup.
29:32Always.
29:33Helena finally caved.
29:34Sebastian ran all the way to my house.
29:36Grabbed me.
29:37Spun me around.
29:38He was going to give me the biggest mating ceremony the city had ever seen.
29:42Make sure everyone knew I was his.
29:45That no one could ever look down on me again.
29:47I smiled.
29:48I trust you.
29:51Three days before the mating ceremony.
29:54The city was covered in silver moon banners.
29:57Sebastian made his way through the streets on foot.
29:59Flanked by his wolves.
30:01Tossing silver coins to anyone one who cheered.
30:04On the day, the pack house was packed.
30:06The party went late.
30:07I suggested giving the guards the night off.
30:10A gift.
30:10Let them drink.
30:11Sebastian agreed.
30:12Everyone went home.
30:13The ones on duty drank the wine I handed them myself.
30:16The pack house went quiet.
30:17I traced Sebastian's face in the dark.
30:20No softness left in my expression.
30:22Just hunger.
30:23I got up.
30:24There were barrels of oil in the courtyard.
30:25I'd stashed them there weeks ago.
30:27I carried them inside.
30:28One by one.
30:30Poured them through every room.
30:32Every hallway.
30:33Every corner.
30:34Then I lit the torches.
30:35And started throwing.
30:37Fire spread fast.
30:38No one woke up.
30:39The sleeping drought I'd put in the wine.
30:41Was strong enough to keep them under until morning.
30:43Except one.
30:44Night Rose, what are you doing?
30:45I smiled.
30:46Killing your whole family.
30:48He looked out the window.
30:49Saw the flames.
30:50His face went slack.
30:52Why?
30:52You've been good to me.
30:54That's why I'm doing this myself.
30:56So I can watch.
30:57He thrust.
30:58Couldn't get up.
30:59Do you remember the night moon pack, Sebastian?
31:01He went still.
31:02The one you slaughtered ten years ago?
31:04My mother saved your life.
31:06You were dying on our land and she healed you.
31:09And you repaid her by killing everyone I loved.
31:11My brothers.
31:12My little sister.
31:13All so you could mate with Gleemhau.
31:15All so you could take our territory.
31:16His face drained of color.
31:18I laughed.
31:19You're the missing night moon girl.
31:20You're so stupid, Sebastian.
31:23You fell in love with me.
31:24You gave me everything.
31:25You handed me your whole pack on a silver platter and you didn't even think.
31:29But thank you for that.
31:31If you hadn't underestimated me.
31:33If you hadn't decided I was just a dumb whore.
31:36I never could have done this.
31:38I picked up the last barrel.
31:40Night rose.
31:40I poured it over him.
31:42The fire was at the door now.
31:43I watched him burn.
31:45He screamed.
31:46Begged.
31:47Bargained.
31:48I listened to all of it.
31:49When he stopped moving, I walked outside.
31:51People were waking up.
31:53Running.
31:53Screaming.
31:54The whole city was mobilizing.
31:56But it was too late.
31:57The fire was too big.
31:58Too fast.
31:59Nothing could stop it now.
32:00I stood there in my gown and watched the pack house collapse.
32:04And I laughed.
32:06I laughed until I couldn't breathe.
32:09Chaos everywhere.
32:11Screaming.
32:11Running.
32:12The crackle of flames drowning everything out.
32:14And me.
32:15Standing alone.
32:16Watching it all burn.
32:17Celestial.
32:18I blinked.
32:19No one had called me that in years.
32:21I'm not Night Rose.
32:22I'm Celestine Nightmoon.
32:23The Borderlands girl.
32:24The one with the loud laugh and the messy hair.
32:27I looked toward the fire.
32:28Figures were standing in the flames.
32:30Mom.
32:30Dad.
32:31Reaching for me.
32:32My brother.
32:33Wearing that blue coat I loved.
32:35His knife on his belt.
32:36Eyes crinkled in a smile.
32:38Come on little sister.
32:39My baby sister.
32:40Riding on his shoulders.
32:42Waving.
32:42Hurry up Celestine.
32:44I walked toward them.
32:45It took a long time.
32:48Finally.
32:48I reached them.
32:49My mother took my hand.
32:50It was warm.
32:51I looked down.
32:52I was small again.
32:53A pup.
32:54The prettiest girl in the borderlands.
32:55She kissed my cheek.
32:57My father picked me up and put me on his shoulders.
32:59We're going home Celestial.
33:01Yeah.
33:01I want to go home.
33:02I've missed it so much.
33:03There you go.בר
