Short filmTranscript
00:00:01Alex, please let me go with you. I really missed the Southern Acclaim.
00:00:12Of course, Victoria. You can take her spot.
00:00:16I spent six months and over $20,000 to plan a family vacation.
00:00:21However, when my mate's childhood sweetheart, Victoria, heard about our trip, she begged to join us.
00:00:28You'll be fine traveling alone. Don't make a big deal out of it.
00:00:32He canceled my spot in the protected convoy and gave it to her instead.
00:00:35He forced me to travel alone through deadly shadow-packed territory.
00:00:40A 36-hour journey where three wolves had died last month.
00:00:51The whole family supported Alexander's decision without a thought for my safety.
00:00:59So I changed my travel plans.
00:01:06I headed north instead of south.
00:01:11I spent three months enjoying myself.
00:01:18Ignoring their mind-link messages.
00:01:23That is when the family started to panic.
00:01:33Especially for mate-bond counseling.
00:01:36It was rare for my mate Alexander to take time off from his warrior duties.
00:01:40So I planned a family trip to the Northern Territories.
00:01:43My private practice brought in $50,000 monthly.
00:01:46Alexander S. Warrior's salary barely reached $3,000.
00:01:50I spent six months choosing the safest routes and negotiating passage rights with other packs.
00:01:56The Northern Territories were notorious for being hostile to outside wolves.
00:02:00Each territory required separate permits, some charging up to $10,000 just for safe passage.
00:02:07Everyone else in the family just stood back while I handled everything.
00:02:11Alexander's parents lived in our villa's guest wing.
00:02:13They survived entirely on my income since retiring from pack duties.
00:02:17His teenage sister Emma had been my responsibility since she was 10.
00:02:20I didn't mind supporting them all.
00:02:22Seeing the family happy was worth any effort.
00:02:25My therapy practice was thriving.
00:02:31Wolves from all territories sought my services, especially for mate-bond counseling.
00:02:38I've never traveled with a protected convoy before.
00:02:41Is it really that dangerous?
00:02:43Don't worry, I upgraded everything.
00:02:46You'll be safe.
00:02:49The extra $15,000 was worth it for their safety.
00:02:59Then, just before departure, Alexander dropped his bombshell.
00:03:08Victoria heard about our trip and wants to join.
00:03:10The protected convoy is full now, so you'll have to go through the Shadow Packs territory alone.
00:03:15I've already arranged your passage permit.
00:03:18He sent me the travel document through our pack link.
00:03:21My blood ran cold when I saw the route.
00:03:27It went straight through the most dangerous part of Shadow Packs territory.
00:03:34Three wolves had been killed there just last month.
00:03:38What do you mean?
00:03:39This is supposed to be a family trip, and you're inviting Victoria?
00:03:42Of course.
00:03:44Victoria wanted to come, so naturally I had to include her.
00:03:48That's what I need with that.
00:03:54When my mother wanted to join us last week, what did you say?
00:03:57You said this was a pack-only trip, no outsiders.
00:04:02But the moment Victoria asks, you jump to accommodate her?
00:04:07Victoria isn't like your mother.
00:04:09She's practically pack, more than pack.
00:04:11In my heart, she's always been family.
00:04:18I felt my claws threatening to emerge.
00:04:21Then why am I the one who has to travel alone?
00:04:23Those convoy spots were secured months ago.
00:04:25The convoy's full.
00:04:27I had to cancel your spot to make room for Victoria.
00:04:29You are strong.
00:04:29You can go through Shadow Packs territory on your own.
00:04:31Of all the routes, he'd chosen the deadliest one.
00:04:39So Victoria gets the protected convoy while I risk my life crossing hostile territory alone?
00:04:49You're always saying you want to explore other territories.
00:04:52Now's your chance.
00:05:02I look to James and Sarah, Alexander's parents whom I'd supported for years.
00:05:07Scarlet, dear, Victoria and Alexander grew up running the same hunting grounds.
00:05:13They have so many shared memories.
00:05:16Of course they should travel together.
00:05:18Just take the longer route and meet us there.
00:05:24Sister Scarlet, Victoria is delicate.
00:05:27She can't handle crossing Shadow Packs territory alone.
00:05:30You're strong and capable.
00:05:32You'll manage.
00:05:37Who's really pack here?
00:05:39An outsider gets treated better than your pack therapist?
00:05:42Your provider?
00:05:44Anyone would think Victoria was your true mate?
00:05:50It's just a different travel route.
00:05:52Stop making such a fuss.
00:05:54Victoria's family?
00:05:55She ran with us since we were pups.
00:05:57We can't make her cross hostile territory alone.
00:06:00Make this small sacrifice.
00:06:01Show what it means to be a proper mate.
00:06:08Scarlet.
00:06:09He held me so tight.
00:06:10You're mine.
00:06:19Victoria, I've been waiting forever.
00:06:22Come in, come in.
00:06:27I've missed you so much.
00:06:29If only you hadn't left our territory back then.
00:06:32You could have been my real sister when you mated with Alexander.
00:06:40Alexander, I always saw you as my future daughter-in-law.
00:06:44In my heart, no one compares to you.
00:06:51They said this right in front of me, without a shred of shame.
00:06:55And Alexander, my mate, just stood there, watching it all happen.
00:07:03I suddenly remembered those nights.
00:07:14Scarlet.
00:07:15He held me so tight.
00:07:17You're mine.
00:07:18So tight that I truly thought he was afraid of losing me.
00:07:22But now, I understand, what he was afraid of losing was never me.
00:07:26It was the money in my pocket.
00:07:29No one noticed me.
00:07:31And then I made a decision.
00:07:33I will make every single one of them regret every word they said today.
00:07:40The pack almost collapsed six years ago.
00:07:43Our territory was raided.
00:07:44Our businesses destroyed.
00:07:46They didn't even say goodbye.
00:07:48Just disappeared one night.
00:07:49Victoria.
00:07:51How could she just leave like that?
00:07:54After everything we planned.
00:07:56I was the one who paid off the pack as $500,000 debt.
00:08:06I paid off the entire debt, Alex.
00:08:10The pack is safe now.
00:08:13You're my savior.
00:08:15Without you, I don't know where I'd be.
00:08:19You're the only one who stayed by my side.
00:08:22I'm so lucky to have you.
00:08:28From now on, I'll protect you with everything I have.
00:08:31You're my mate.
00:08:32My everything.
00:08:33Alexander only accepted me as his mate out of gratitude.
00:08:36The other warriors mocked him for it.
00:08:38Called him a gold digger.
00:08:42My therapy practice was thriving even then.
00:08:44I thought love would grow between us.
00:08:47I once believed love would slowly grow through years of companionship.
00:08:55Those nights, Alexander would return from patrol, still carrying the wild scent of the forest and blood.
00:09:23You're mine.
00:09:25Only mine.
00:09:27Then mark me, Alex.
00:09:30Make sure everyone knows I belong to you.
00:09:53No one else will ever have you like this.
00:09:55You saved me, and now I'll never let you go.
00:09:58Emma had been my responsibility since she was 10.
00:10:01I cooked her meals, washed her clothes, drove her to training.
00:10:08I paid for her private tutors.
00:10:10$5,000 per month just for extra lessons.
00:10:15I bought her designer clothes.
00:10:24So she wouldn't feel inferior to other PAC daughters.
00:10:29Now at 15, I'd raised her for five years.
00:10:33Sis, you're the only one who really cares about me.
00:10:36Thank you for everything.
00:10:49As for James and Sarah, I'd given them everything.
00:10:54You've been such a blessing to this family.
00:10:57I don't know what we would have done without you, dear.
00:10:59Yeah.
00:11:00You've taken better care of us than our own son ever did.
00:11:03We're really lucky.
00:11:04So I gave them $8,000 monthly for my therapy practice.
00:11:08I bought them a luxury SUV for easier mobility.
00:11:11I paid for their medical treatments.
00:11:13Sarah S. Arthritis.
00:11:15James Heart Condition.
00:11:17I paid the Villa S. $12,000 monthly mortgage.
00:11:21I hired cleaners, gardeners, and assistants
00:11:24to make their lives comfortable.
00:11:26It's nothing, really.
00:11:27I just want you both to be comfortable.
00:11:29We're family.
00:11:30I wasn't so much their son's mate
00:11:32as their financial support.
00:11:35You work so hard every day.
00:11:38Come sit with me sometime.
00:11:40You deserve a break, too.
00:11:42Even my therapy office building
00:11:43supplemented PAC income.
00:11:45I rented space to PAC businesses at discount rates.
00:11:49My client list included some of the most powerful wolves
00:11:52in three territories.
00:11:53Each therapy session brought in $1,000.
00:11:56I worked 60-hour weeks to support this family.
00:12:00After everything I'd done for this PAC,
00:12:03they still treated an outsider better than me.
00:12:15Of course!
00:12:16Those shadow PAC wolves are dangerous!
00:12:19Victoria approached me, smirking.
00:12:21Her designer outfit probably cost more
00:12:24than Alexander made in two months.
00:12:26I'm so sorry, Sister Scarlet.
00:12:27But if I'd known my joining would force you
00:12:30to travel through shadow-packed territory alone,
00:12:33I might have declined.
00:12:35I was going to step back,
00:12:37but Alexander insisted he had a solution.
00:12:41I offered to take the dangerous route myself,
00:12:44but Alexander wouldn't hear of me
00:12:46traveling alone through hostile territory.
00:12:54Emma hung on Victoria's arm like a starved puppy.
00:13:00The same Emma I'd raised and spoiled for five years.
00:13:10Of course!
00:13:11Those shadow-packed wolves are dangerous!
00:13:14What if they targeted you?
00:13:19Unlike my sister,
00:13:21she looks so fierce,
00:13:23like an angry she-wolf.
00:13:25Even rogues would run from her.
00:13:37The PAC new shadow-packed territory was deadly.
00:13:41Three lone wolves killed last month.
00:13:43Two more missing.
00:13:44But they'd send their PAC therapist,
00:13:46their provider,
00:13:47into that danger without a thought.
00:13:51How much do you bring to this family each month?
00:13:55Th-that's uncalled for.
00:13:59Look, I know this isn't ideal,
00:14:01but what choice do we have?
00:14:05That high-end therapy office space you've been eyeing?
00:14:08Go ahead and lease it.
00:14:10Don't worry about the cost.
00:14:12$50,000.
00:14:13Now.
00:14:17That much?
00:14:20You should be grateful I'm letting you spend your own money.
00:14:23Don't push your luck.
00:14:25Since when do I need your permission to spend my own money?
00:14:31How much do you bring to this family each month?
00:14:36Th-that's uncalled for.
00:14:38His monthly contribution was $3,000.
00:14:42Mine was $50,000.
00:14:46He didn't T-pay a mating gift,
00:14:48not counting the $500,000 PAC debt I cleared.
00:14:53I brought $400,000 and the villa to our mating.
00:14:58The villa alone was worth $2,000,000.
00:15:03This family's comfortable life came from my therapy practice.
00:15:08Other PAC members saw it.
00:15:10They whispered about the warrior who lived off his mate.
00:15:13Money, since they all preferred Victoria so much.
00:15:17Maybe she should support them instead.
00:15:20Let's see how long they last on a failed therapist.
00:15:23S-income.
00:15:25Sarah, are you ill?
00:15:27Why didn't you tell me I could have treated you?
00:15:30Scarlet, start dinner.
00:15:33Everyone's hungry.
00:15:35Victoria, you used to share meals with Alexander when you were pups, right?
00:15:40Oh, yes.
00:15:41We hunted together three times a day back then.
00:15:44Such wonderful memories.
00:15:45You must miss Sarah's cooking after being away so long.
00:15:55Sarah, why don't you cook for Victoria?
00:16:02Then I settled onto our Italian leather couch and started grooming my fur.
00:16:09The couch cost $15,000.
00:16:12I debought it last month with my therapy earnings.
00:16:15Alexander came over.
00:16:17How dare you make Sarah cook!
00:16:19Her arthritis is acting up!
00:16:21Get up and start dinner!
00:16:23The same arthritis I paid $3,000 monthly to treat.
00:16:28I feigned surprise.
00:16:30Sarah, are you ill?
00:16:32Why didn't you tell me I could have treated you?
00:16:37Who's ill?
00:16:38I'm perfectly fine!
00:16:40Don't curse me!
00:16:43If you're well, why aren't you cooking for Victoria, don't you want to?
00:16:50Who says I won't cook?
00:16:53She spent two hours in the kitchen before finally serving dinner.
00:17:01What, those mighty warrior paws can't handle packing?
00:17:05Emma pulled Victoria to my usual spot, at the table.
00:17:10Sister!
00:17:10Sister, Victoria's our guest.
00:17:12You don't mind giving up your place, right?
00:17:17If you're uncomfortable at the edge, take your bowl to the kitchen.
00:17:21And clean up after.
00:17:23Incredible.
00:17:24They wouldn't even let me eat at the family table.
00:17:28No need.
00:17:29My client's expecting me.
00:17:30I'm dining out.
00:17:35We leave tomorrow.
00:17:36Where are you going?
00:17:37Have you even packed?
00:17:38What, those mighty warrior paws can't handle it?
00:17:40I treated myself to...
00:17:41Who's gonna do that?
00:17:42I'm not doing it.
00:17:44I don't have to do that.
00:17:44Do you, I'm not doing that.
00:17:47What, what?
00:17:48How do you do, I treat myself to...
00:18:02I treated myself to...
00:18:05A $1,000 steak at the most expensive restaurant in our territory.
00:18:21Without a large family to feed, this she, Wolf, had money to burn.
00:18:31I stayed out until the moon was high before returning to the villa.
00:18:35The villa was dark when I returned.
00:18:40Not one mind-link message, call or text while I was out.
00:18:44They'd all gone to sleep without a care.
00:18:48I made my way through the darkness to the master bedroom.
00:18:56Victoria's cheap perfume saturated the air, mixed with something else that made my stomach turn.
00:19:02My territory, my home, my mate, all tainted.
00:19:07Why did you attack Victoria?
00:19:08We were just talking late and accidentally fell asleep.
00:19:12The moment I sat on our California king bed, a shriek pierced the air.
00:19:22I jumped, quickly hitting the light switch.
00:19:25There was Victoria lying in my spot.
00:19:28My spot.
00:19:30Where my scent should be strongest.
00:19:32Where my mate bond was anchored.
00:19:34My blood didn't just boil.
00:19:36My wolf howled with blood.
00:19:41My therapy training on anger management flew out the window.
00:19:46Before I could think, my claws were out and I'd struck Victoria across the face.
00:19:50I didn't hold back.
00:19:52My claws left deep marks.
00:19:55The scratch marks already healing.
00:19:58Victoria burst into tears.
00:20:02The mate bond screamed at their intimate position.
00:20:07Why did you attack Victoria?
00:20:09We were just talking late and accidentally fell asleep.
00:20:20You accidentally ended up in our bedroom?
00:20:23In our bed?
00:20:25In each other's arms?
00:20:27We were waiting for you.
00:20:28You were out so late.
00:20:30Victoria kept me company.
00:20:33We were talking in here and just dozed off.
00:20:37It's perfectly innocent.
00:20:39The mate bond revealed his lies.
00:20:43What was that about?
00:20:44I spent hours trying to get into our bedroom.
00:20:47You woke the whole house.
00:20:50Then why no calls?
00:20:51No texts?
00:20:52Too busy reminiscing with your childhood sweetheart?
00:20:55If you were waiting for me, why not in the living room?
00:20:57Why in our private bedroom?
00:20:59Scarlet, you're being completely unreasonable.
00:21:02I could smell their mingled scents on my Egyptian cotton sheets.
00:21:06But thankfully, my mate bond wasn't screaming in pain.
00:21:11They hadn't crossed that line yet.
00:21:13I'm back now.
00:21:14Unless you're planning to share our mate bed?
00:21:17Alexander, it hurts so much.
00:21:22Let me get some healing cream.
00:21:25Playing the victim.
00:21:28Classic, Victoria.
00:21:35The moment they left, I sealed the bedroom with mountain ash and activated the security locks.
00:21:42$10,000 worth of security features.
00:21:47Money well spent.
00:21:48I stripped every piece of bedding that carried their scent and threw it in the trash.
00:21:54Then I used scent, blocking herbs, and went to sleep.
00:22:00The next morning, Alexander stormed up to me.
00:22:07What was that about?
00:22:09I spent hours trying to get into our bedroom.
00:22:12You woke the whole house.
00:22:16You've spoiled her.
00:22:17A warrior's mate should know her place.
00:22:20Wasn't that thoughtful of me?
00:22:22Giving you more alone time with Victoria.
00:22:25You should thank me.
00:22:30Are you sick in the head?
00:22:32Why would I spend the night with Victoria?
00:22:34You're my mate.
00:22:35Oh, now you remember I'm my mate?
00:22:38I thought Victoria's return meant I'd be replaced entirely.
00:22:42Please don't fight.
00:22:43This trip should be happy.
00:22:46Don't let me ruin it.
00:22:48I'd feel terrible.
00:22:50See how understanding Victoria is?
00:22:52Unlike your petty jealousy.
00:22:57Scarlet, your behavior is getting worse.
00:23:00Denying your mate access to your bedroom?
00:23:02Don't let it happen again.
00:23:03We'll overlook it this once.
00:23:05You've spoiled her.
00:23:06A warrior's mate should know her place.
00:23:09No female dares deny her mate entry.
00:23:14Such defiance deserves punishment.
00:23:16That would teach her respect.
00:23:26Sister, with your jealousy and temper,
00:23:29my brother might reject you as his mate.
00:23:32The same sister I'd raised and spoiled for five years.
00:23:41Victoria watched me with triumph in her eyes.
00:23:44Already imagining herself in my place.
00:23:48Of course.
00:23:49You all go ahead.
00:23:51I'll be right behind you.
00:23:54Hurry up.
00:23:55We need to leave for the territory crossing point or we'll be late.
00:24:05Scarlet, you carry all our bags.
00:24:08The protected convoy has strict limits on what we can bring.
00:24:13You can carry everything since you're going alone.
00:24:17I looked at the eight massive designer suitcases,
00:24:20each weighing over 50 pounds, and smiled.
00:24:23Of course.
00:24:24You all go ahead.
00:24:25I'll be right behind you.
00:24:30The moment they left,
00:24:31I contacted the pack's disposal service.
00:24:38They arrived quickly in their truck.
00:24:44Take all eight suitcases.
00:24:46I don't want any of it.
00:24:48Are you sure?
00:24:49These are quality bags.
00:24:51Just clothes and supplies.
00:24:53Nothing worth salvaging.
00:24:54Keep what you can use.
00:24:55Dispose of the rest.
00:24:56After paying the $200 disposal fee,
00:24:59I watched the suitcases disappear.
00:25:01Money well spent for my peace of mind.
00:25:06Then I contacted our pack's beta
00:25:08about preparing a mate bond severance ritual.
00:25:12Next, I arranged safe passage
00:25:14through the Northern Mountain Territory.
00:25:16A private, first-class journey.
00:25:19Just for me.
00:25:21I don't know.
00:25:36Scarlet, why can't I find our hotel reservings?
00:25:39Send me the booking details.
00:25:40Oh, right.
00:25:41I cancelled all the hotel bookings.
00:25:48What?
00:25:49Where are we supposed to stay tonight?
00:25:54That is your problem now.
00:26:01Are you insane?
00:26:03Why would you cancel our rooms?
00:26:05You did this on purpose.
00:26:09Really, Alexander.
00:26:10You take your childhood sweetheart on a trip
00:26:12and expect your mate to handle all the arrangements.
00:26:15What would other pack warriors think?
00:26:24Everyone will mock me in front of Victoria.
00:26:27Is that what you want?
00:26:29Oh, now you care what others think
00:26:31when you made your mate travel alone.
00:26:35Fine.
00:26:36I'll let this go.
00:26:37Just make new hotel bookings
00:26:39for the rest of the trip.
00:26:40Plan our hunting grounds.
00:26:42Arrange territory.
00:26:44Access secure everything we need.
00:27:04Transfer $50,000 to me immediately.
00:27:07I am running low.
00:27:11Why do you need so much?
00:27:13We're traveling.
00:27:14Of course we need money.
00:27:15Send it now.
00:27:16I'm waiting.
00:27:31Don't forget who protected you
00:27:33when you first joined our pack.
00:27:36Protected me?
00:27:37I paid $500,000 to save this pack.
00:27:41You should remember that.
00:27:46An hour later,
00:27:48Victoria posted a pack-wide photo
00:27:50showing off a rare diamond necklace.
00:27:55The necklace cost $50,000.
00:27:58Alexander, who only brought in $3,000 monthly,
00:28:01bought it without hesitation.
00:28:03He dared because he assumed
00:28:04I'd cover it like always.
00:28:12Sister, we can't check into any hotels.
00:28:15We can't check into any hotels.
00:28:15All our bookings are gone.
00:28:18How terrible.
00:28:19Ask Victoria to pay.
00:28:21She can afford a $50,000 necklace.
00:28:31That is different.
00:28:33Alexander promised to pay her back.
00:28:38With whose money, Emma?
00:29:04Where are you?
00:29:05Your transport wasn't delayed.
00:29:07Why are you taking so long?
00:29:08The whole family is waiting.
00:29:10Why wait for me?
00:29:15For dinner!
00:29:16Hurry up!
00:29:20Go ahead without me.
00:29:22We finished eating.
00:29:23We're waiting for you to provide the money.
00:29:28Are you so broke you can't even pay for dinner?
00:29:30Did buying buying Victoria's necklace drain you dry?
00:29:40This is your fault!
00:29:42If you'd sent me the $50,000,
00:29:44I wouldn't be drained.
00:29:45If you can't get here now,
00:29:47just send the money.
00:29:48We need to settle this.
00:29:53Fine.
00:29:54I'll send it right away.
00:29:56I cut the incoming call
00:29:57and completely blocked my bond.
00:30:01Then I contacted my bank
00:30:03and frozen the joint account
00:30:04I shared with Alexander.
00:30:14I called the credit card company next.
00:30:19I need to report on author-authorized charges
00:30:21and remove an authorized user.
00:30:24Imagining Alexander's rage
00:30:26when his cards declined
00:30:27improved my mood considerably.
00:30:34My phone exploded
00:30:35with messages from the family.
00:31:01I blocked them all.
00:31:02After reaching my luxury suite
00:31:04in the Northern Mountains,
00:31:05I finally opened my bond.
00:31:07Alexander's call came instantly.
00:31:11Scarlet!
00:31:11You finally answer!
00:31:13Why was your bond blocked?
00:31:14I thought you were dead!
00:31:16Listen to yourself!
00:31:17I traveled alone
00:31:18through hostile territory
00:31:20and you didn't worry about my safety.
00:31:21You just attacked me.
00:31:23What kind of mate are you?
00:31:25You just blocked the bond
00:31:27to avoid sending money!
00:31:28You did it on purpose!
00:31:38Yes, I did.
00:31:39And remember this, Alexander.
00:31:42You'll never get another dollar from me.
00:31:51Scarlet, don't be like this.
00:31:52I know making you travel alone was unfair.
00:31:55I'll make it up to you.
00:31:56Where are you?
00:31:57I'll come get you.
00:31:57I got you a gift.
00:31:59A surprise.
00:32:08In all our years together,
00:32:10his most expensive gift
00:32:11was a silver charm costing $90
00:32:13and I had to beg for that.
00:32:18Send me your location.
00:32:19I'll come now.
00:32:23Don't bother.
00:32:24I'm in the Northern Mountains.
00:32:31What?
00:32:32We're all in the Southern Territory.
00:32:34Why are you in the North?
00:32:37I changed my plans.
00:32:39Enjoy your trip without me.
00:32:45What are you playing at?
00:32:47This was supposed to be a pack trip
00:32:49and you just left.
00:32:51What is wrong with you?
00:32:53What is wrong?
00:32:54You made your mate travel alone
00:32:56for 36 hours through hostile territory
00:32:58while you took an outsider
00:32:59in the protected convoy.
00:33:02What is wrong with you?
00:33:04I knew you were still angry about that.
00:33:06You're so petty.
00:33:07It was just one solo journey.
00:33:09Not like we abandoned you.
00:33:11You should be grateful
00:33:12we included you at all.
00:33:24Oh, should I thank you then?
00:33:28Scarlet,
00:33:28I don't have time for this.
00:33:30Go where you want.
00:33:31But you need to send us money.
00:33:36Oh, right.
00:33:37About those suitcases.
00:33:38All your things are gone.
00:33:40All your things are gone.
00:33:43What?
00:33:44Gone?
00:33:45What kind of mate are you?
00:33:47You lost all our clothes.
00:33:49All Victoria's designer stuff.
00:33:51Everything was in those bags.
00:33:54What are we supposed to do
00:33:55for the next 10 days?
00:33:57Not my problem.
00:33:59You gave me
00:33:59eight massive suitcases
00:34:01to handle alone.
00:34:02I'm not a three-headed wolf.
00:34:03I couldn't manage it all.
00:34:12The bags are really gone.
00:34:14My Gucci dresses were in there.
00:34:16And my Cartini jewelry
00:34:17worth thousands of dollars.
00:34:19All my new outfits too.
00:34:21Don't worry, Victoria.
00:34:23Since Scarlet lost your things,
00:34:25she'll compensate you.
00:34:39Scarlet,
00:34:40send money now.
00:34:41You have to replace
00:34:43everything Victoria lost.
00:34:44We all need new clothes.
00:34:46Send $100,000 immediately.
00:34:49We LL
00:34:50let you know
00:34:51if we need more.
00:34:53I don't know.
00:35:03Are you mad?
00:35:04I'm not responsible
00:35:05for your things.
00:35:06You dumped them on me and left.
00:35:08And remember what I said.
00:35:10You'll never get another dollar from me.
00:35:12Did you think I was joking?
00:35:16I cut the mind link
00:35:17and blocked them all.
00:35:19Alexander,
00:35:20James,
00:35:21Sarah,
00:35:21Emma,
00:35:22everyone.
00:35:23I blocked them
00:35:24from the pack bond too.
00:35:39Scarlet,
00:35:40why did Alexander's cards
00:35:42got declined at the restaurant?
00:35:51Scarlet,
00:35:52Emma's crying in the pack house.
00:35:53Something about
00:35:54canceled hotel rooms?
00:36:03Scarlet,
00:36:04is it true
00:36:05Victoria's wearing
00:36:06a 50,000ers necklace
00:36:07while the family
00:36:08can't pay for dinner?
00:36:12I ignored them all.
00:36:13I was one of the
00:36:14highest earning pack members.
00:36:17Everyone knew
00:36:18Alexander's family
00:36:19lived off my income.
00:36:21Now they'd see him
00:36:22for what he really was,
00:36:23a weak warrior
00:36:25who couldn't even
00:36:25provide for his mate.
00:36:28Alexander's family
00:36:28is causing a scene
00:36:29at pack headquarters.
00:36:30They're demanding
00:36:31emergency funds.
00:36:32I checked my therapy
00:36:33practices schedule.
00:36:35Even on vacation,
00:36:36I had wolves willing
00:36:37to pay $1,000
00:36:38per S-session.
00:36:40I D do video consultations
00:36:42from my luxury suite.
00:36:43Why waste
00:36:44prime billing hours?
00:36:45After two therapy sessions,
00:36:47I got a call
00:36:47from the pack S-beta.
00:36:49Scarlet,
00:36:50Alexander's family
00:36:51is causing a scene
00:36:51at pack headquarters.
00:36:53They're demanding
00:36:53emergency funds.
00:36:57Not my problem anymore.
00:37:02Sarah's telling everyone
00:37:03you abandoned them.
00:37:05Victoria's crying
00:37:05about a stolen necklace.
00:37:09That necklace
00:37:10Alexander bought her
00:37:11with my money?
00:37:14This is getting messy.
00:37:16Alexander's reputation
00:37:17is in shreds.
00:37:19Good.
00:37:20Maybe he'll learn
00:37:21to live within his measures.
00:37:26I got a text
00:37:27from my bank.
00:37:29Alexander had tried
00:37:30to access
00:37:30my personal accounts.
00:37:32He'd also attempted
00:37:33to transfer ownership
00:37:34of my therapy office
00:37:35building to himself.
00:37:41I contacted
00:37:42my lawyer immediately.
00:37:48I need restraining orders
00:37:50and start
00:37:51the mate-bond
00:37:52severance paperwork.
00:37:56Then,
00:37:57I called the pack's
00:37:59highest-ranked
00:38:00female warrior.
00:38:02Kelly,
00:38:03remember when you said
00:38:04you owed me
00:38:04for saving your mate-bond?
00:38:06I need a favor.
00:38:08Anything, Scarlet?
00:38:11I'm filing
00:38:12a mate-bond severance.
00:38:14I need protection
00:38:15when I return.
00:38:18Alexander
00:38:18won't take it well.
00:38:20He makes
00:38:20$3,000 monthly
00:38:21but bought another
00:38:22female a $50,000 necklace.
00:38:25While sending
00:38:25his mate
00:38:26into hostile territory
00:38:27alone,
00:38:28I'll gather
00:38:29my best warriors.
00:38:30No one will
00:38:31touch you.
00:38:34Word spread quickly
00:38:35through the pack's
00:38:36female circles.
00:38:38I had 12 warrior wolves
00:38:39volunteering to protect me.
00:38:41They were all
00:38:42former therapy clients.
00:38:43They knew
00:38:44what I'd done
00:38:45for the pack.
00:38:46Victoria started
00:38:47posting dramatically
00:38:48on social media.
00:38:50True mates
00:38:51don't abandon
00:38:52each other.
00:38:53Some females
00:38:54don't deserve
00:38:55their mate-bonds.
00:38:56A warrior
00:38:57needs a supportive mate.
00:38:59Alexander's
00:39:00pack status
00:39:00was plummeting.
00:39:02Other warriors
00:39:03mocked him openly.
00:39:04What kind of warrior
00:39:06lived off his mate's
00:39:07money while buying
00:39:08gifts for another
00:39:09female?
00:39:16Nothing important.
00:39:17I'm hanging up.
00:39:21I let myself relax,
00:39:23enjoying the mountain
00:39:24spa and room service.
00:39:26Since mating
00:39:26with Alexander,
00:39:27I'd been working
00:39:2860-hour weeks
00:39:29between therapy clients
00:39:30and caring for his family.
00:39:32I'd never felt
00:39:33this free.
00:39:34From now on,
00:39:35I lived for myself
00:39:36alone.
00:39:43After two weeks
00:39:44of luxury,
00:39:44an unfamiliar
00:39:45mind link
00:39:46reached me.
00:39:47You've got nerve,
00:39:48Scarlet,
00:39:49blocking the entire
00:39:50pack from the bond.
00:39:51What are you trying
00:39:51to prove?
00:39:52Think you're above
00:39:53pack law.
00:39:54Nothing important.
00:39:55I'm hanging up.
00:39:56Wait,
00:39:57I'm not finished.
00:39:58We've been back
00:39:58three days.
00:39:59Where are you?
00:40:00Still enjoying myself.
00:40:02Need more time.
00:40:03Two weeks
00:40:04isn't enough.
00:40:05When are you
00:40:06coming back?
00:40:09Two months
00:40:09should do it.
00:40:10I'll return then.
00:40:11Have you lost
00:40:12your mind?
00:40:13Who is going
00:40:13to pay Emma's
00:40:14private school tuition?
00:40:15Who'll handle
00:40:16her college applications?
00:40:17And the money?
00:40:18How much
00:40:18are you wasting?
00:40:19Just get back
00:40:20here now.
00:40:24I already sent
00:40:25the severance ritual
00:40:26documents through
00:40:27my lawyer.
00:40:30My money,
00:40:31my choice.
00:40:32Don't waste
00:40:33your breath.
00:40:34I'm not coming
00:40:35back until I'm ready.
00:40:37What about
00:40:38Emma's future?
00:40:39You're abandoning
00:40:40her.
00:40:41I'm her brother's
00:40:42mate,
00:40:43not her mother.
00:40:44I have no
00:40:44obligation.
00:40:45She complained
00:40:46about my oversight.
00:40:48Now she won't
00:40:48have to worry
00:40:49about it.
00:40:50Her $50,000
00:40:51tuition is due
00:40:52next week.
00:40:53The school
00:40:54called three times.
00:40:55Sounds like
00:40:56a family problem.
00:40:57Ask Victoria
00:40:58to pay it.
00:41:00Scarlett,
00:41:01you're pushing
00:41:01too far.
00:41:02I'll give you
00:41:03one day.
00:41:03If you're not
00:41:04here by this time
00:41:05tomorrow,
00:41:05I'll initiate
00:41:06mate severance.
00:41:07Perfect.
00:41:08I was hoping
00:41:09you'd say that.
00:41:11Let's sever.
00:41:12Whoever backs
00:41:13down is a coward.
00:41:15Check your email.
00:41:16I already sent
00:41:17the severance ritual
00:41:18documents through
00:41:19my lawyer.
00:41:21Alexander's mind
00:41:21link went silent
00:41:22as he rushed
00:41:23to check.
00:41:24He found the
00:41:25paperwork exactly
00:41:25where I said.
00:41:27You're serious
00:41:27about this?
00:41:29Did you think
00:41:30I was playing?
00:41:31I was playing.
00:41:35Destroyed.
00:41:36My pack
00:41:36bond.
00:41:37Crystal.
00:41:39Scarlett,
00:41:39this is about
00:41:40one journey
00:41:40through rival
00:41:41territory.
00:41:41I know you're
00:41:42just waiting
00:41:43for me to
00:41:43chase you.
00:41:44You destroyed
00:41:44our clothes
00:41:45and I haven't
00:41:45even punished
00:41:46you for that.
00:41:47Don't push
00:41:48your luck.
00:41:48If you want
00:41:49to stay mates,
00:41:50come home now.
00:41:50Are you mentally
00:41:51challenged,
00:41:52Alexander?
00:41:53How much
00:41:53clearer can I
00:41:54be?
00:41:54I want to
00:41:55sever our
00:41:56mate bond.
00:41:57Sign the
00:41:57papers.
00:41:58The villa
00:41:59is mine
00:41:59from before
00:42:00the mating.
00:42:01You have
00:42:01two months
00:42:02to find
00:42:02new housing.
00:42:03When I
00:42:04return,
00:42:05if your
00:42:05family is
00:42:06still in
00:42:06my home,
00:42:07I'll have
00:42:07the PAC
00:42:08council evict
00:42:09you.
00:42:09The mortgage
00:42:10payments come
00:42:11from our
00:42:11joint account.
00:42:13An account
00:42:13I funded
00:42:14entirely.
00:42:15Check the
00:42:16records.
00:42:17Scarlett,
00:42:17you're really
00:42:18making me
00:42:18angry now.
00:42:20Good.
00:42:21Channel that
00:42:21anger into
00:42:22signing those
00:42:23papers.
00:42:24Then we're
00:42:24done.
00:42:25I cut
00:42:26the mind
00:42:27link.
00:42:33Destroyed.
00:42:34My
00:42:34PAC
00:42:34bond.
00:42:35Crystal.
00:42:36Getting
00:42:36a new
00:42:36one with
00:42:37different
00:42:37frequencies.
00:42:40When
00:42:41Alexander
00:42:41couldn't
00:42:42reach me,
00:42:42he started
00:42:43harassing my
00:42:44therapy clients.
00:42:45Bad move.
00:42:46My
00:42:46client list
00:42:47included some
00:42:48of the
00:42:48most powerful
00:42:49wolves in
00:42:49three territories.
00:42:51They didn't
00:42:52appreciate
00:42:52Alexander's
00:42:53desperate
00:42:53attempts to
00:42:54track me.
00:42:55He was
00:42:56banned from
00:42:56my office
00:42:57building and
00:42:57all therapy
00:42:58venues.
00:43:06Scarlett,
00:43:06Alexander tried
00:43:07to break into
00:43:08your office
00:43:08building.
00:43:09He's
00:43:09demanding
00:43:09your client
00:43:10records.
00:43:10Victoria's
00:43:11spreading
00:43:11rumors about
00:43:12your therapy
00:43:12practice.
00:43:14I contacted
00:43:15the PAC
00:43:15council
00:43:15immediately.
00:43:16Within
00:43:17hours,
00:43:17Alexander was
00:43:18served with
00:43:18a restraining
00:43:19order.
00:43:20He was
00:43:20banned from
00:43:21my office
00:43:21building and
00:43:22all therapy
00:43:23venues.
00:43:24The
00:43:24council's
00:43:24message was
00:43:25clear.
00:43:26Harassing a
00:43:26PAC therapist
00:43:27meant
00:43:28severe
00:43:28consequences.
00:43:29Victoria posted
00:43:31more social
00:43:32media drama.
00:43:33Some females
00:43:34use their
00:43:34positions to
00:43:35bully loyal
00:43:35warriors.
00:43:36Money isn't
00:43:37everything.
00:43:38True mates
00:43:38forgive each
00:43:39other.
00:43:40A warrior who
00:43:41can't provide for
00:43:42his mate has
00:43:42no pride.
00:43:44Living off your
00:43:44mate while
00:43:45buying another
00:43:45female gifts?
00:43:47Shameless.
00:43:48My mate would
00:43:48never send me
00:43:49into hostile
00:43:50territory alone.
00:43:52Alexander's PAC
00:43:52status hit rock
00:43:54bottom.
00:43:55Other warriors
00:43:56avoided him in
00:43:57training.
00:43:57No one wanted
00:43:58to be associated
00:43:59with a male who
00:44:00endangered his
00:44:01mate.
00:44:06Let them
00:44:07figure it out.
00:44:09Emma's private
00:44:10school called me
00:44:11directly.
00:44:13Mrs. Scarlett,
00:44:15about Emma's
00:44:15tuition.
00:44:16I'm no longer
00:44:17responsible for
00:44:17Emma's expenses.
00:44:18Contact her
00:44:19family.
00:44:19But you've
00:44:21always handled
00:44:22her education.
00:44:23Things change.
00:44:25Remove me as
00:44:25her emergency
00:44:26contact.
00:44:27I forwarded
00:44:28all bills to
00:44:29Alexander.
00:44:30Emma,
00:44:31S$50,000
00:44:32tuition.
00:44:33The Villa,
00:44:34S$12,000
00:44:35mortgage.
00:44:36James and
00:44:37Sarah,
00:44:38S$8,000
00:44:39monthly allowance.
00:44:40Victoria,
00:44:41S$50,000
00:44:43necklace payment.
00:44:44Let them
00:44:45figure it out.
00:44:57Scarlett,
00:44:58we really
00:44:58don't have
00:44:58that much
00:44:59money.
00:45:00Emma's going
00:45:00to get
00:45:00expelled.
00:45:01Please!
00:45:02Deal with
00:45:02it.
00:45:08Sister,
00:45:09I was
00:45:10wrong.
00:45:11I really
00:45:11know I
00:45:12was wrong.
00:45:13Please,
00:45:13come back.
00:45:14Ask your
00:45:14brother to
00:45:15solve it,
00:45:15or have
00:45:16your new
00:45:16sister-in-law
00:45:16sell that
00:45:17$50,000
00:45:17necklace.
00:45:25Scarlett,
00:45:25give me
00:45:26one more
00:45:26chance.
00:45:27I'll
00:45:27change.
00:45:27Do three
00:45:28things first.
00:45:29Sign the
00:45:29bond-severent
00:45:30agreement,
00:45:30move out
00:45:31of my
00:45:31house,
00:45:31pay me
00:45:32back $50,000.
00:45:39Two months
00:45:40later,
00:45:40the PAX
00:45:41annual
00:45:41moonlight
00:45:42gala was
00:45:42held in
00:45:43the banquet
00:45:43hall.
00:45:44I didn't
00:45:45want to
00:45:46go.
00:45:49I had
00:45:49enjoyed a
00:45:49quiet
00:45:50month.
00:45:52I didn't
00:45:53know how
00:45:53they scraped
00:45:53the money
00:45:54together.
00:45:54Maybe they
00:45:55really sold
00:45:56the necklace.
00:46:00But that
00:46:00had nothing
00:46:01to do with
00:46:01me.
00:46:03Scarlett,
00:46:04you have
00:46:04to come.
00:46:05Everyone is
00:46:06talking about
00:46:06you.
00:46:06Victoria has
00:46:07been bragging
00:46:08all week
00:46:08about how
00:46:09she saved
00:46:09Alexander
00:46:10from the
00:46:11gold dagger.
00:46:17You don't
00:46:18want her
00:46:18rewriting the
00:46:19story,
00:46:20do you?
00:46:23Do you?
00:46:50What time
00:46:51does it
00:46:51start?
00:46:52Eight o'clock.
00:46:53Come find me
00:46:54when you
00:46:54arrive.
00:46:57Let her
00:46:58brag.
00:47:20You
00:47:21finally
00:47:22came.
00:47:22Victoria has
00:47:23been bragging
00:47:24about her
00:47:24new life
00:47:24since the
00:47:25beginning.
00:47:25It's
00:47:26disgusting.
00:47:29Let her
00:47:30brag.
00:47:31You don't
00:47:31know.
00:47:31She's telling
00:47:32everyone
00:47:33Alexander is
00:47:33about to
00:47:34get promoted
00:47:34and they're
00:47:35moving to
00:47:35a bigger
00:47:36house.
00:47:37A bigger
00:47:38house?
00:47:39With
00:47:39whose
00:47:40money?
00:47:42That's
00:47:43exactly why
00:47:44I called
00:47:44you to
00:47:44watch the
00:47:45show.
00:47:54the
00:47:55$50,000
00:47:56necklace
00:47:56was gone.
00:47:58She must
00:47:58have sold
00:47:59it to
00:47:59pay debts.
00:48:01The dress
00:48:02was fake.
00:48:19scarlet,
00:48:20long time
00:48:21no see.
00:48:22You came
00:48:22alone?
00:48:23Oh, I wanted
00:48:24Alexander to pick
00:48:26you up earlier
00:48:26since you two used
00:48:28to, but he said
00:48:30it wasn't
00:48:30convenient.
00:48:34I also think
00:48:35that since it's
00:48:36over, it's
00:48:37better to keep
00:48:37some distance.
00:48:39Don't you
00:48:39agree?
00:48:54Your dress?
00:48:55It's so
00:48:56beautiful.
00:48:57How much
00:48:58was it?
00:48:58I want to
00:48:59buy one too.
00:49:01Alexander said
00:49:02he'll custom
00:49:02order a gown
00:49:03for me next
00:49:03month.
00:49:04This could
00:49:05be good
00:49:05reference.
00:49:16$5,000.
00:49:19Handmade by
00:49:19an Italian
00:49:20designer.
00:49:21Are you
00:49:22sure you
00:49:22can afford
00:49:22it?
00:49:32you're just
00:49:33an abandoned
00:49:33resent-fed
00:49:34woman.
00:49:35He hasn't
00:49:35been promoted
00:49:35in six
00:49:36years.
00:49:38What do
00:49:39you mean?
00:49:41I mean,
00:49:43Alexander's
00:49:43monthly salary
00:49:44is only $3,000.
00:49:46You want
00:49:46him to spend
00:49:47two and a
00:49:47half months
00:49:47salary on
00:49:48one dress

00:49:49Then how
00:49:50will his

00:49:56Alexander

00:49:59He hasn't
00:50:00been promoted
00:50:00in six
00:50:01years.
00:50:02When you
00:50:03marry him,
00:50:04remember to
00:50:05ask his

00:50:06many times
00:50:07his promotion
00:50:08applications

01:02:09to
01:02:09your
01:02:09room!
01:02:10Wait,
01:02:11Emma.
01:02:12Since
01:02:12you don't
01:02:13understand,
01:02:13let me
01:02:13explain why
01:02:14your
01:02:14brother and
01:02:14parents resist
01:02:15the
01:02:15severance.
01:02:17Fine.
01:02:18Explain.
01:02:19How
01:02:19much does
01:02:20your
01:02:20brother make
01:02:20monthly?
01:02:22$3,000?
01:02:24And
01:02:25your
01:02:25parents?
01:02:26They're
01:02:27retired,
01:02:28no
01:02:28income.
01:02:32Shut

01:02:35What

01:02:41term plus
01:02:42$5,000
01:02:43monthly for
01:02:43extras.
01:02:49$50,000
01:02:51So your
01:02:51brother's
01:02:51salary can't
01:02:52even cover
01:02:53one month
01:02:53of your
01:02:54education.
01:02:55This
01:02:55villa costs
01:02:56$12,000
01:02:57monthly in
01:02:57mortgage
01:02:58payments.
01:02:59Your
01:02:59parents get
01:03:00$8,000
01:03:00monthly
01:03:01avowance.
01:03:02The
01:03:03four of
01:03:03you will
01:03:03be
01:03:04homeless.
01:03:05So

01:03:05We
01:03:06have
01:03:06Victoria!
01:03:07She'll

01:03:11Victoria just

01:03:13from her
01:03:13third job
01:03:14in the
01:03:14Northern
01:03:14Territory.
01:03:16And not
01:03:17only that,
01:03:17but she's
01:03:18also.
01:03:18From what I
01:03:19hear, she
01:03:20failed every
01:03:20therapy
01:03:21certification.
01:03:22Her
01:03:22family's
01:03:23business went
01:03:23bankrupt.
01:03:24They can't
01:03:24help you.

01:03:29villa is
01:03:30part of
01:03:30the

01:03:31bond!

01:03:32This
01:03:33was my
01:03:33property
01:03:34before
01:03:34mating.
01:03:35Under
01:03:35PAC law,
01:03:37severance
01:03:37means you
01:03:38have no

01:03:40the
01:03:40old
01:03:40laws,
01:03:41little
01:03:42sister.

01:03:59you to

01:04:03can't we
01:04:03just talk
01:04:04about
01:04:04this?
01:04:08Scarlet,
01:04:09Emma's
01:04:09young and
01:04:10foolish.
01:04:10Don't
01:04:11mind
01:04:11her.
01:04:13If I'd
01:04:14known she
01:04:15was such
01:04:15an ingrate,
01:04:17I'd
01:04:17never have
01:04:18paid her
01:04:18tuition.
01:04:22I'll
01:04:23make her
01:04:23apologize
01:04:23properly!
01:04:24Don't
01:04:25bother
01:04:25with
01:04:26empty
01:04:26gestures.
01:04:28Alexander,
01:04:29if you
01:04:29won't
01:04:29sign the
01:04:30severance
01:04:30papers,
01:04:31we'll
01:04:31take this
01:04:32to the
01:04:32PAC
01:04:33council.
01:04:41You just
01:04:42got back,
01:04:42where are you
01:04:42going?
01:04:47Haven't you
01:04:47noticed my
01:04:48things are
01:04:48gone?
01:04:49You really
01:04:50don't care at
01:04:50all, do
01:04:51all, do you?
01:04:51My closet's
01:04:52empty and
01:04:52you didn't
01:04:53even notice.
01:04:56Alexander,
01:04:57you're an
01:04:57even bigger
01:04:58disappointment
01:04:58than I
01:04:59imagined.
01:05:10Scarlet,
01:05:10can't we
01:05:11just talk
01:05:11talk about
01:05:11this?
01:05:19Scarlet,
01:05:20you dare

01:05:21face!
01:05:22What kind
01:05:23of mate
01:05:23abandons her
01:05:24warrior and
01:05:25pack elders?
01:05:27Running wild
01:05:28for months?
01:05:29In the old
01:05:30days, they'd have
01:05:31executed robes
01:05:32like you!
01:05:34Just sever the
01:05:35bond with her,
01:05:36Alexander!
01:05:36What could you
01:05:37possible?
01:05:41You dare
01:05:42lecture me?
01:05:43At least I
01:05:44didn't chase
01:05:44another she-wolf's
01:05:46mate, joining
01:05:47his pack trip
01:05:48like some
01:05:48desperate
01:05:49omega?
01:05:51You struck
01:05:52me again!
01:05:56Are you
01:05:57going to let
01:05:57her attack
01:05:58me twice?
01:06:02He has
01:06:03no right
01:06:04to interfere.
01:06:05Victoria,
01:06:06since you're
01:06:07here, help
01:06:08convince him
01:06:08to sign the
01:06:09severance
01:06:09papers.
01:06:14Stop
01:06:14dragging this
01:06:15out until I
01:06:16have to petition
01:06:16the pack
01:06:17council.
01:06:18We're
01:06:18severing
01:06:19eventually.
01:06:20Making it
01:06:20messy will
01:06:21only lower
01:06:21my opinion
01:06:22of him
01:06:22further.
01:06:25Just
01:06:25sever the
01:06:26bond with
01:06:26her,
01:06:26Alexander!
01:06:27What could
01:06:27you possibly
01:06:28miss about
01:06:29that she-wolf?
01:06:29I can't
01:06:30believe you!
01:06:31Didn't you
01:06:31say you
01:06:31couldn't
01:06:32stand her?
01:06:32Why won't
01:06:33you agree
01:06:33to the
01:06:33severance?
01:06:34I don't
01:06:34understand.
01:06:35I may
01:06:35not like
01:06:35Scarlet,
01:06:36but I
01:06:36can't

01:06:37sever

01:07:17elders
01:07:17miss
01:07:18you.
01:07:22These
01:07:22must have
01:07:23cost you.
01:07:24They did,
01:07:25but you're
01:07:25worth any
01:07:26price.
01:07:33Alexander,

01:07:36This
01:07:36is your
01:07:36first
01:07:37courting

01:07:55Victoria joining
01:07:56the trip,
01:07:56making you

01:07:58I was
01:07:58horrible.
01:07:59I see
01:07:59that now.
01:08:00Give me
01:08:01a chance
01:08:01to make

01:09:42Three

01:12:47Now, the memory only felt bitterly ironic.
01:12:55Alexander returned three days later to sign the papers.
01:12:59The day of our severance ritual, Victoria attended.
01:13:10Planning to complete your mate bond right after severing ours, Alexander?
01:13:14Of course.
01:13:15Once he's free of you, he's marking me immediately.
01:13:19I already carry his pup.
01:13:21We'll be a happy family of three.
01:13:25We were mated five years with no pups.
01:13:29I passed all fertility tests, but you refused them.
01:13:32Now, Victoria suddenly bearing?
01:13:34Impressive.
01:13:38What are you suggesting?
01:13:40This pup is definitely Alexander's!
01:13:45If you say so, why so defensive?
01:13:53The PAC council members performing the ritual exchange knowing looks.
01:13:57They'd all been my therapy clients.
01:13:59They knew Victoria's pattern of lying about pregnancies to trap males.
01:14:06After our bond was severed, Alexander immediately took Victoria for their bonding ceremony.
01:14:14Still here?
01:14:16Why?
01:14:21To take back my villa.
01:14:24The villa?
01:14:25You're his former mate now!
01:14:26That's our home!
01:14:40You seem confused.
01:14:43Alexander's been living in my property.
01:14:45I gave them two months to leave, but they squatted like omegas.
01:14:49So I'm bringing the PAC council enforcers to remove them.
01:14:53Alexander, is this true?
01:14:58Scarlet, why be so cruel?
01:14:59You're wealthy.
01:15:00What's wrong with us using your villa?
01:15:05Listen to yourself.
01:15:08You've bonded with a new mate, but want to live in your former mate's home?
01:15:14Have you no pride?
01:15:30This she-wolf is abusing her wealth and power to steal our home!
01:15:36Council members, this villa was mine before mating.
01:15:39We've severed bonds, yet they refuse to leave.
01:15:50Alexander, let's settle this before the enforcers.
01:16:00The $500,000 I paid for your PAC's debt was a loan.
01:16:04Due in five years.
01:16:06Time's up.
01:16:07Pay up.
01:16:13You said I didn't need to repay that.
01:16:18I never said that.
01:16:20Pay me.
01:16:26Alexander?
01:16:27You owe her half a million dollars?
01:16:30Victoria, I can explain.
01:16:31You said your family was wealthy!
01:16:34You said you'd take care of me!
01:16:43Under PAC law, all debts must be settled during severance.
01:17:01Finally, Alexander had to lead his family to Victoria's small apartment.
01:17:07I sold the villa the next day.
01:17:09I had the PAC beta help recover the debt through legal channels.
01:17:13Then, I packed my therapy practice and began exploring distant territories.
01:17:18My high-end clients would follow me anywhere.
01:17:29I heard later that Victoria and Emma fought, causing Victoria to loze her pup.
01:17:34Funny how that happened right after the PAC council demanded a pregnancy test.
01:17:48Without my guidance, Emma got expelled from her private school.
01:17:51Her combat training scores dropped from top 50 to bottom ranks.
01:17:58The elders were treated like servants by Victoria and her parents.
01:18:02Forced to work even when sick.
01:18:04I heard they're trying to contact me through other PAC members.
01:18:08Hoping I'll return and rebond with Alexander.
01:18:15Alexander wants to sever from Victoria, hoping I'll take him back.
01:18:19These shameless wolves can howl all they want.
01:18:31Now I just want to run free under open skies, building my therapy practice in new territories.
01:18:39Some say I was cruel, destroying their lives like that.
01:18:42But a mate who sends you into deadly territory alone while buying another female gifts.
01:18:47He deserves everything he got.
01:18:53I'm finally living for myself.
01:18:55And it feels wonderful.
01:18:57Let the PAC gossip.
01:18:58This she-wolf is done playing nice.
01:19:01Now I just want to run free under open skies, chasing the horizon.
01:19:04The
