Left Me for Ex, Now Begs My Return

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?
00:17:40What, those mighty wolves can't handle packing?
00:18:02I treat myself.
00:18:04I treat myself.
00:18:05A $1,000 steak at the most expensive restaurant in our territory.
00:18:22Without 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.
00:18:58Saturated the air, mixed with something else that made my stomach turn.
00:19:02My territory, my home.
00:19:04My mate.
00:19:05All tainted.
00:19:06Why 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.
00:20:01The 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.
00:20:40The mate bond revealed his lies.
00:20:42What was that about?
00:20:44I spent hours trying to get into our bedroom.
00:20:47You woke the whole house.
00:20:49Then 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.
00:21:36The 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.
00:21:49I 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?
00:22:37I 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.
00:23:45Already 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,
00:24:22and smiled.
00:24:23Of course.
00:24:24You all go ahead.
00:24:25I'll be right behind you.
00:24:29The moment they left,
00:24:31I contacted the pack's disposal service.
00:24:37They 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,
00:25:13I arranged safe passage through the Northern Mountain Territory.
00:25:16A private,
00:25:17first class journey.
00:25:19Just for me.
00:25:22Just for me.
00:25:36Scarlet,
00:25:37why can't I find our hotel reservings?
00:25:39Send me the booking details.
00:25:40Oh, right.
00:25:41I canceled 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?
00:26:02Why 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 dollars to me immediately.
00:27:07I am running low.
00:27:10Why do you need so much?
00:27:12We're traveling.
00:27:14Of course we need money.
00:27:15Send it now.
00:27:16I'm waiting.
00:27:23No.
00:27:24You're awfully bold demanding money from your mate.
00:27:27Living off your mate's income, are you?
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.
00:28:11Sister, we 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?
00:29:31Are you so broke you can't even pay for dinner?
00:29:31Did buying buying Victoria's necklace drain you dry?
00:29:40This is your fault!
00:29:42If you'd sent me the $50,000, I wouldn't be drained.
00:29:45If you can't get here now, just 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 and completely blocked my bond.
00:30:01Then I contacted my bank and frozen the joint account I shared with Alexander.
00:30:14I called the credit card company next.
00:30:18I need to report on author-authorized charges and remove an authorized user.
00:30:24Imagining Alexander's rage when his cards declined improved my mood considerably.
00:30:34My phone exploded with messages from the family.
00:31:01I blocked them all.
00:31:02After reaching my luxury suite in the Northern Mountains, I 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 through hostile territory and 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 to 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.
00:31:58I got you a gift.
00:31:59A surprise.
00:32:08In all our years together, his most expensive gift was a silver charm costing $90 and I had to beg
00:32:14for that.
00:32:18Send me your location.
00:32:20I'll come now.
00:32:23Don't bother.
00:32:25I'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 and you just left.
00:32:51What is wrong with you?
00:32:53What is wrong?
00:32:54You made your mate travel alone for 36 hours through hostile territory while you took an outsider in the protected
00:33:00convoy.
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 we included you at all.
00:33:24Oh, should I thank you then?
00:33:28Scarlet, I 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, about those suitcases.
00:33:38All 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 for the next 10 days?
00:33:57Not my problem.
00:33:59You gave me 8 massive suitcases to handle alone.
00:34:02I'm not a 3-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 worth thousands of dollars.
00:34:19All my new outfits too.
00:34:21Don't worry, Victoria.
00:34:23Since Scarlet lost your things, she'll compensate you.
00:34:39Scarlet, send money now.
00:34:41You have to replace everything Victoria lost.
00:34:44We all need new clothes.
00:34:46Send $100,000 immediately.
00:34:49We LL let you know if we need more.
00:35:03Are you mad?
00:35:04I'm not responsible for 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 and blocked them all.
00:35:19Alexander, James, Sarah, Emma, everyone.
00:35:23I blocked them from the pack bond too.
00:35:40Scarlet, why did Alexander's cards got declined at the restaurant?
00:35:51Scarlet, Emma's crying in the pack house.
00:35:53Something about cancelled hotel rooms?
00:36:03Scarlet, is it true Victoria's wearing a 50,000ers necklace while the family can't pay for dinner?
00:36:12I ignored them all.
00:36:13I was one of the highest earning pack members.
00:36:17Everyone knew Alexander's family lived off my income.
00:36:21Now they'd see him for what he really was.
00:36:24A weak warrior who couldn't even provide for his mate.
00:36:28Alexander's family is causing a scene at pack headquarters.
00:36:30They're demanding emergency funds.
00:36:32I checked my therapy practices schedule.
00:36:35Even on vacation, I had wolves willing to pay $1,000 per S-session.
00:36:40I de-do video consultations from my luxury suite.
00:36:43Why waste prime billing hours?
00:36:45After two therapy sessions, I got a call from the pack S-beta.
00:36:49Scarlet, Alexander's family is causing a scene at pack headquarters.
00:36:53They're demanding emergency funds.
00:36:57Not my problem anymore.
00:37:02Sarah's telling everyone you abandoned them.
00:37:04Victoria's crying about a stolen necklace.
00:37:09That necklace Alexander bought her with my money?
00:37:14This is getting messy.
00:37:16Alexander's reputation is in shreds.
00:37:19Good.
00:37:20Maybe he'll learn to live within his measures.
00:37:26I got a text from my bank.
00:37:29Alexander had tried to access my personal accounts.
00:37:32He'd also attempted to transfer ownership of my therapy office building to himself.
00:37:41I contacted my lawyer immediately.
00:37:48I need restraining orders and start the mate bond severance paperwork.
00:37:56Then, I called the pack's highest-ranked female warrior.
00:38:02Kelly, remember when you said you owed me for saving your mate bond?
00:38:06I need a favor.
00:38:08Anything, Scarlet?
00:38:11I'm filing a mate bond severance.
00:38:14I need protection when I return.
00:38:18Alexander won't take it well.
00:38:20He makes $3,000 monthly but bought another female a $50,000 necklace.
00:38:25While sending his mate into hostile territory alone,
00:38:28I'll gather my best warriors.
00:38:30No one will touch you.
00:38:34Word spread quickly through the pack's female circles.
00:38:37I had 12 warrior wolves volunteering to protect me.
00:38:41They were all former therapy clients.
00:38:43They knew what I'd done for the pack.
00:38:46Victoria started posting dramatically on social media.
00:38:51True mates don't abandon each other.
00:38:53Some females don't deserve their mate bonds.
00:38:56A warrior needs a supportive mate.
00:38:59Alexander's pack status was plummeting.
00:39:02Other warriors mocked him openly.
00:39:04What kind of warrior lived off his mate's money while buying gifts for another female?
00:39:16Nothing important.
00:39:17I'm hanging up.
00:39:21I let myself relax, enjoying the mountain spa and room service.
00:39:25Since mating with Alexander,
00:39:27I'd been working 60-hour weeks between therapy clients and caring for his family.
00:39:32I'd never felt this free.
00:39:34From now on, I lived for myself alone.
00:39:43After two weeks of luxury, an unfamiliar mind link reached me.
00:39:47You've got nerves, Scarlet, blocking the entire pack from the bond.
00:39:51What are you trying to prove?
00:39:52Think you're above pack law.
00:39:54Nothing important.
00:39:55I'm hanging up.
00:39:56Wait, I'm not finished.
00:39:58We've been back three days.
00:39:59Where are you?
00:40:00Still enjoying myself.
00:40:02Need more time.
00:40:04Two weeks isn't enough.
00:40:05When are you coming back?
00:40:09Two months should do it.
00:40:10I'll return then.
00:40:11Have you lost your mind?
00:40:13Who is going to pay Emma's private school tuition?
00:40:15Who'll handle her college applications?
00:40:17And the money?
00:40:18How much are you wasting?
00:40:19Just get back here now.
00:40:24I already sent the severance ritual documents through my lawyer.
00:40:30My money, my choice.
00:40:32Don't waste your breath.
00:40:34I'm not coming back until I'm ready.
00:40:37What about Emma's future?
00:40:39You're abandoning her.
00:40:41I'm her brother's mate, not her mother.
00:40:43I have no obligation.
00:40:45She complained about my oversight.
00:40:48Now she won't have to worry about it.
00:40:49Her $50,000 tuition is due next week.
00:40:53The school called three times.
00:40:55Sounds like a family problem.
00:40:57Ask Victoria to pay it.
00:41:00Scarlet, you're pushing too far.
00:41:02I'll give you one day.
00:41:03If you're not here by this time tomorrow,
00:41:05I'll initiate mate severance.
00:41:07Perfect.
00:41:08I was hoping you'd say that.
00:41:11Let's sever.
00:41:12Whoever backs down is a coward.
00:41:15Check your email.
00:41:16I already sent the severance ritual documents through my lawyer.
00:41:20Alexander's mind link went silent as he rushed to check.
00:41:24He found the paperwork exactly where I said,
00:41:27You're serious about this?
00:41:29Did you think I was playing?
00:41:35Destroyed.
00:41:36My pack bond.
00:41:37Crystal.
00:41:39Scarlet, this is about one journey through rival territory.
00:41:41I know you're just waiting for me to chase you.
00:41:44You destroyed our clothes and I haven't even punished you for that.
00:41:47Don't push your luck.
00:41:48If you want to stay mates, come home now.
00:41:51Are you mentally challenged, Alexander?
00:41:53How much clearer can I be?
00:41:55I want to sever our mate bond.
00:41:57Sign the papers.
00:41:58The villa is mine from before the mating.
00:42:01You have two months to find new housing.
00:42:03When I return, if your family is still in my home, I'll have the PAC council evict you.
00:42:09The mortgage payments come from our joint account.
00:42:13An account I funded entirely.
00:42:15Check the records.
00:42:17Scarlet, you're really making me angry now.
00:42:20Good.
00:42:21Channel that anger into signing those papers.
00:42:24Then we're done.
00:42:25I cut the mind link.
00:42:33Destroyed.
00:42:34My pack bond.
00:42:35Crystal.
00:42:36Getting a new one with different frequencies.
00:42:40When Alexander couldn't reach me, he started harassing my therapy clients.
00:42:45Bad move.
00:42:46My client list included some of the most powerful wolves in three territories.
00:42:51They didn't appreciate Alexander's desperate attempts to track me.
00:42:55He was banned from my office building and all therapy venues.
00:43:06Scarlet, Alexander tried to break into your office building.
00:43:09He's demanding your client records.
00:43:10Victoria's spreading rumors about your therapy practice.
00:43:14I contacted the PAC council immediately.
00:43:16Within hours, Alexander was served with a restraining order.
00:43:20He was banned from my office building and all therapy venues.
00:43:23The council's message was clear.
00:43:26Harassing a PAC therapist meant severe consequences.
00:43:29Victoria posted more social media drama.
00:43:33Some females use their positions to bully loyal warriors.
00:43:36Money isn't everything.
00:43:38True mates forgive each other.
00:43:40A warrior who can't provide for his mate has no pride.
00:43:44Living off your mate while buying another female gifts?
00:43:47Shameless.
00:43:47My mate would never send me into hostile territory alone.
00:43:52Alexander's PAC status hit rock bottom.
00:43:55Other warriors avoided him in training.
00:43:57No one wanted to be associated with a male who endangered his mate.
00:44:06Let them figure it out.
00:44:09Emma's private school called me directly.
00:44:13Mrs. Scarlett, about Emma's tuition.
00:44:16I'm no longer responsible for Emma's expenses.
00:44:18Contact her family.
00:44:20But you've always handled her education.
00:44:23Things change.
00:44:25Remove me as her emergency contact.
00:44:26I forwarded all bills to Alexander.
00:44:30Emma's $50,000 tuition.
00:44:33The Villa's $12,000 mortgage.
00:44:36James and Sarah's $8,000 monthly allowance.
00:44:41Victoria's $50,000 necklace payment.
00:44:44Let them figure it out.
00:44:57Starlet, we really don't have that much money.
00:45:00Emma's going to get expelled.
00:45:01Please.
00:45:02Deal with it.
00:45:08Sister, I was wrong.
00:45:11I really know I was wrong.
00:45:13Please come back.
00:45:14Ask your brother to solve it.
00:45:15Or have your new sister-in-law sell that $50,000 necklace.
00:45:25Scarlet, give me one more chance.
00:45:27I'll change.
00:45:27Do three things first.
00:45:29Sign the bond-severent agreement.
00:45:30Move out of my house.
00:45:31Pay me back $50,000.
00:45:39Two months later,
00:45:40the PAX Annual Moonlight Gala was held in the banquet hall.
00:45:45I didn't want to go.
00:45:49I had enjoyed a quiet month.
00:45:52I didn't know how they scraped the money together.
00:45:55Maybe they really sold the necklace.
00:46:00But that had nothing to do with me.
00:46:03Scarlet, you have to come.
00:46:05Everyone is talking about you.
00:46:06Victoria has been bragging all week
00:46:08about how she saved Alexander from the gold dagger.
00:46:17You don't want her rewriting the story, do you?
00:46:26You don't want her rewriting the story, do you want her rewriting the story, do you want her rewriting the
00:46:35story, do you want her rewriting the story, do you want her rewriting the story, do you want her rewriting
00:46:36the story, do you want her rewriting the story, do you want her rewriting the story, do you want her
00:46:36rewriting the story, do you want her rewriting the story, do you want her rewriting the story, do you want
00:46:37her rewriting the story, do you want her rewriting the story, do you want her rewriting the story, do you
00:46:37want her rewriting the story, do you want her rewriting the story, do you want her rewriting the story, do
00:46:39you want her rewriting the story, do you want her rewriting the story, do you want her rewriting the story,
00:46:40do you want her rewriting the story, do you want her rewriting the story, do you want her rewriting the
00:46:44story, do you want her rewriting the story, do you want her
00:46:50What time does it start?
00:46:52Eight o'clock. Come find me when you arrive.
00:46:58Let her brag.
00:47:21You finally came. Victoria has been bragging about her new life since the beginning. It's disgusting.
00:47:29Let her brag. You don't know. She's telling everyone Alexander is about to get promoted and they're moving to a
00:47:36bigger house.
00:47:37A bigger house? With whose money?
00:47:42That's exactly why I called you to watch the show.
00:47:54The $50,000 necklace was gone. She must have sold it to pay debts. The dress was fake.
00:48:19Scarlet! Long time no see. You came alone?
00:48:23Oh, I wanted Alexander to pick you up earlier, since you two used to, but he said it wasn't convenient.
00:48:34I also think that since it's over, it's better to keep some distance. Don't you agree?
00:48:54Your dress? It's so beautiful. How much was it? I want to buy one, too.
00:49:01Alexander said he'll custom order a gown for me next month. This could be good reference.
00:49:16$5,000. Handmade by an Italian designer. Are you sure you can afford it?
00:49:32You're just an abandoned, resentful woman. He hasn't been promoted in six years.
00:49:38What do you mean?
00:49:41I mean, Alexander's monthly salary is only $3,000. You want him to spend two and a half months' salary
00:49:48on one dress for you?
00:49:49Then how will his whole family of seven survive?
00:49:56Alexander will get promoted soon. He'll promoted. He hasn't been promoted in six years.
00:50:01When you marry him, remember to ask his superior how many times his promotion applications have been rejected.
00:50:21Oh, my God!
00:50:28Scarlet, don't be too arrogant. Do you think you're still the PAX chief healer?
00:50:34You're just an abandoned, resentful woman.
00:50:43Alexander doesn't do you anymore, and you come here to cause trouble.
00:50:46If you know what's good for you, get out yourself.
00:50:49Don't make me have someone throw you out.

01:07:06maid
01:07:15Come home, please. Emma and the elders miss you.
01:07:22These must have cost you.
01:07:24They did, but you're worth any price.
01:07:33Alexander, we've been mated almost six years.
01:07:36This is your first courting gift.
01:07:38I used to dream of receiving moonflowers from you, but you never bothered.
01:07:41What's the point now? I don't want them anymore.
01:07:47Skip the false gestures. This severance is happening.
01:07:51I...
01:07:54I know you're angry about Victoria joining the trip, making you travel alone.
01:07:58I was horrible. I see that now.
01:08:00Give me a chance to make it right.
01:08:02Victoria won't come to our villa anymore.
01:08:04If you don't want me seeing her, I'll cut contact.
01:08:07Scarlet, I can't lose you.
01:08:09You mean you can't lose my money.
01:08:11Can't lose your perfect ATM that pays your bills and serves your family.
01:08:14Can't lose your golden goose.
01:08:18No, it's because I love you. I can't bear to...
01:08:34Silence! You disgust me!
01:08:35Keep pushing and I'll share the bond memories of you and Victoria in our bedroom with the entire pack.
01:08:49You captured the bond memory? When?
01:08:52Not so confident now?
01:08:54Weren't you just talking until you fell asleep?
01:08:57Explain that to the pack and see if they believe in...
01:08:59Delete that memory now!
01:09:03I'll delete it after you sign the Severance Papers.
01:09:17Scarlet, is there really no hope for us?
01:09:24None.
01:09:26What about the pack politics?
01:09:28The other warriors already mock me.
01:09:31If we sever my reputation...
01:09:33You should have thought about that before buying Victoria a $50,000 necklace with my money.
01:09:42Three days later, Alexander appeared at my office entrance again.
01:09:51Maid.
01:10:09Enough, Alexander. Don't try to win me back like this.
01:10:16I know I was wrong.
01:10:18Those nights, your body, your scent, every tremble you made beneath me.
01:10:22I can't forget any of it.
01:10:26Scarlet, come back to me.
01:10:31Come back to me.
01:10:32Please, Harlan, please.
01:10:35No.
01:10:51Oh, my God.
01:11:18Oh, my God.
01:11:38Tonight, I only want you.
01:12:31You are mine forever, Scarlet.
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.
01:15:51Alexander, 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.
01:16:08Pay 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.
01:17:08I sold the villa the next day.
01:17:10I had the PAC Bay to 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 loathe her pup.
01:17:35Funny 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.
01:18:22I'm done with them.
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.
01:19:04Now I just want to run free under open skies.
01:19:05Now I just want to run free under open skies.
01:19:06Now I just want to run free under open skies.
01:19:06Now I just want to run free under open skies.
01:19:06Now I just want to run free under open skies.
01:19:06Now I just want to run free under open skies.
