The Last Moon Witch New SH
Transcript
00:06My smile vanished the second I touched the doorknob.
00:09The voice on the other side made my blood run cold.
00:12For one second, I thought I had to be hearing it wrong.
00:15Then Chloe moaned again.
00:16My face went cold, and I drove my heel straight into the door.
00:21My fianc was on top of my best friend Chloe, thrusting into her like he'd lost his mind.
00:26I expected vows, not my fianc screwing my best friend.
00:30The man who had sworn to love me for the rest of his life was buried against Chloe's chest,
00:35biting, panting, making wet, filthy sounds that turned my stomach.
00:39And something was wrong with him.
00:41His movements were too rough, too frantic, like something inside him had slipped the leash.
00:48I lunged forward and ripped Ethan off the bed and slapped him so hard his head snapped to the side.
00:54The crack of it rang through the room, and with it, every stupid, soft, in-love memory I had of
01:00him blew apart.
01:01Ethan stared up at me, stunned.
01:03Rachel, wait, please.
01:06Hit me, scream at me, rip me apart if you want, just don't leave.
01:11One second ago, he'd been buried between another woman's thighs.
01:15Now he was kneeling at my feet, playing broken and begging for forgiveness.
01:19Get your hands off me.
01:23I stepped over him and went straight for Chloe.
01:26Rachel, don't blame him.
01:27Your scent wasn't enough to calm his wolf.
01:30He needed a real Luna.
01:31I looked at her, at the wedding dress twisted around her body.
01:35At the lace, the torn seams, the smeared makeup, and the smug little tremor still clinging to the corner of
01:41her mouth.
01:41My vision went red, smack, her face snapped sideways.
01:46I grabbed the scissors off the vanity and hacked through the ruined skirt still hanging off her body.
01:51The fabric gave way under the blades.
01:54You deserve each other.
01:56I hope you choke on what you've done.
01:58I flung the shredded lace at her.
02:00Then I turned away.
02:01I didn't look at Ethan again.
02:03I just wanted one thing.
02:05The moonstone pendant I'd left on the dressing table.
02:07I grabbed the pendant off the dressing table, closed my fist around it, and headed straight for the elevator.
02:14I hit the button hard.
02:15The doors slid open.
02:17I stepped inside, slammed my thumb against the close button, then stabbed at the lobby floor.
02:25Crack.
02:26The pale stone at its center had split clean in two.
02:29The words had barely left my mouth when something struck the narrowing gap between the doors.
02:35The panels jerked back open.
02:37A man stepped into the opening.
02:38His gaze dropped to the shattered moonstone in my hand.
02:41Then it lifted to my face.
02:43Little thing, if you rejected his mark.
02:47He stepped in closer, one hand still braced against the elevator door.
02:50His gaze dropping to my mouth before lifting back to my eyes.
02:54Then I guess you're mine now.
02:57I shoved open the heavy doors to the ballroom.
02:59More than a hundred guests turned at once.
03:02The hall was dripping with roses and candlelight.
03:04A giant wedding portrait of Ethan and me hung above the stage, smiling down at everyone like a bad joke.
03:11At the center, the emcee lifted his mic with a polished grin.
03:14Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome today's beautiful...
03:17I walked straight down the aisle, the broken moonstone pendant clenched in my hand.
03:22The roses brushed against my dress as I passed.
03:24The guests were still smiling, still waiting, still thinking this was a wedding.
03:33I was here to burn it down.
03:37Attention, everyone.
03:40The wedding is off.
03:44Quick update.
03:45The groom's upstairs fucking the maid of honor, so this wedding won't be moving forward.
03:49Wait, what?
03:51Did she just say Chloe?
03:52Oh my god.
03:53Ethan's upstairs with the maid.
03:54Are you serious?
03:55Voices crashed over each other from every direction.
03:58I looked out at all those stunned faces, all that pity, all that hungry curiosity, and almost laughed.
04:05I stepped down from the stage and went straight to my parents.
04:08We're done here.
04:09Let's go.
04:09I'm not leaving.
04:10I'm going upstairs.
04:11And I swear to god I'll kill both of those filthy little bastards myself.
04:14I didn't answer, just opened my hand and showed them the broken moonstone.
04:19My grandmother's pendant.
04:20The second my father saw it, all the anger drained out of him.
04:23His fist loosened.
04:25His face turned gray.
04:26And for the first time in my life...
04:28That just broke?
04:31I picked it up, and it split.
04:35My parents looked at each other, not the quick, irritated glance of two people caught in family
04:40drama.
04:41My mother grabbed my wrist.
04:42My father shoved through the crowd.
04:44And the next thing I knew, they were dragging me out of the hotel so fast my heels nearly gave
04:49out under me.
04:50Cold air hit my face.
04:52A car door flew open.
04:53I was shoved into the back seat.
04:55Don't stop for anything.
04:56Go.
04:58The car peeled out before I could even catch my breath.
05:01I grabbed the front seat with both hands and leaned forward.
05:04Dad, start talking.
05:07Why are we going to the airport, and what aren't you telling me?
05:10Neither of them answered right away.
05:12Streetlight streaked past the windows in flashes.
05:14The city smeared into light outside.
05:16I looked back down at the moonstone pendant in my hand.
05:20A strange red glow pulsed faintly through the cracks.
05:23My stomach dropped.
05:24I tightened my grip.
05:25Dad!
05:26Dad, tell me what the hell this means.
05:28His hands locked around the steering wheel before he finally said.
05:31It means the moonstone seal your grandmother put on you is broken.
05:36A chill crawled down my spine.
05:40Rachel.
05:41Your grandmother was never just a woman with the old family heirloom.
05:45She was the last moon witch.
05:47And you, you inherited her moon witch bloodline.
05:50Looking at the broken moonstone pendant in my hand, I just looked at her.
05:55Then at my father.
05:57Then back at the red light pulsing through the street.
05:5940 minutes.
06:01Dad said sharply, laying on the horn.
06:03Find a flight.
06:04Any flight, book it!
06:05Outside, the sky had gone dark.
06:07Traffic thickened by the minute.
06:09Headlights smeared across the windshield in white and red streaks.
06:13Mom sat in the front seat.
06:14Refreshing flight listings so fast her fingers trembled.
06:18I leaned forward and looked into the rearview mirror.
06:20Dad?
06:21That truck's still behind us.
06:23A black pickup was riding our tail.
06:26No headlight.
06:27My father checked the mirror once.
06:29Swore under his breath and yanked the wheel hard.
06:31We shot into the far left layer and a gray SUV cut in from the other side and matched our
06:37speed.
06:38The passenger window rolled down.
06:39A bald man with a wolf tattoo crawling up his neck leaned half his body out.
06:44He's yellow.
06:45Green eyes locked on me.
06:46That is her, he barked, grinning like something feral.
06:49That's her.
06:50I can smell moon women's blood on her.
06:53Sweet as sin.
06:54Found our prey.
06:55The fuck you will.
06:57He slammed the gas pedal straight to the floor.
07:00The engine roared as the speedometer needle jerked violently to the right.
07:0490D.
07:05110.
07:05The needle kept climbing.
07:07The engine screamed.
07:08My mother grabbed the dash.
07:09I twisted around in my seat and saw moon.
07:12Metal shrieked.
07:13Glass exploded.
07:14And then the world flipped.
07:16When I came to, I was hanging sideways in my seat.
07:19Everything smelled like gasoline, blood, and hot metal.
07:23For one long second, all I could hear was a thin, vicious ringing inside my skull.
07:28Then I looked up.
07:29My father wasn't moving.
07:30My mother's head had slumped against the shattered window, blood running down her cheek in a dark
07:35line that wouldn't stop.
07:36My throat closed.
07:38Dad?
07:39Mom?
07:39I reached for them with shaking hands.
07:42Nothing.
07:42Outside, boots crunched over broken glass.
07:45Then a voice cut through the dark.
07:47Blood.
07:47Sharp inhale.
07:48Fuck.
07:48You smell that.
07:50Moon witch blood.
07:51Stronger now.
07:52All over her.
07:53Another voice laughed, low and ugly.
07:55Drag her out.
07:56A pack of them rushed the wreck.
07:57I grabbed for the seatbelt release, jabbing at it too hard, too fast.
08:01My fingers were slippery with blood, and every time I pressed, they slid off the buckle
08:05instead.
08:05By the time it finally clicked loose, I'd smeared the whole latch red.
08:09I crawled through the broken window, dragging myself over twisted metal, glass sliced into
08:14my palms, but I never let go of the broken moonstone pendant.
08:18Behind me, one of them laughed.
08:20Run, pretty thing.
08:21Makes it sweeter when we drag you back.
08:25A gray wolf lunged.
08:26It moved so fast I barely caught the shape before it was on me.
08:30Get away from me!
08:31I screamed it raw with everything I had left.
08:34And then, a blast of silver-white light exploded out of my palm.
08:38The wolf was hit midair and thrown backward with a shriek.
08:41It slammed into the dirt, rolled twice, then twisted back into human form.
08:45Half crouched on the ground, clutching his burned face, he started laughing.
08:49Moon witch blood.
08:51So the stories were true.
08:52Then engines hit the road behind us, low, heavy, closing fast.
08:56One of the rogues went still.
08:58Shit, you hear that?
08:59Another looked back once, and all the color drained from his face.
09:03Move.
09:04Now.
09:04Shadowpack.
09:05Black maybox tore through the dark.
09:07The lead car stopped.
09:08A black figure stepped out.
09:10He crossed the distance without a word and stopped in front of me.
09:14The rogues dropped to their knees so fast it looked like instinct.
09:17Marcus, we didn't know she was with you.
09:20Please, have mercy.
09:21He came straight to me and lowered himself onto one knee.
09:25Gold eyes steady and deadly calm.
09:27You again.
09:28But the ringing in my stall swallowed the words before they fully reached me.
09:31Still, I knew that face.
09:33Why is it you again?
09:34Marcus took me to a private villa.
09:37I curled into the far end of the sofa.
09:39Every nerve in my body strung tight as I tracked his every move.
09:43He stood at the long table.
09:44He still hadn't really looked at me.
09:46He only tossed the broken moonstone pendant onto the table like it meant absolutely nothing.
09:51Your blood doesn't do much for me.
09:53Then his gaze drifted over me, slow and deliberate.
09:56But you.
09:57I'm just a normal girl.
09:58I want to go back to school.
09:59That got his attention.
10:00In one sharp movement, he crossed the room and bent over me, bracing both hands on the sofa and boxing
10:06me incompletely.
10:07His chest was only inches from mine, and his scent hit me all at once.
10:12Dark cedar smoke and something wild underneath.
10:17Normal?
10:17Normal girls don't end up with half a pack of rogues hunting them.
10:20He lifted a hand to my throat, tracing the faint line the pendant cord had left behind.
10:25His fingers brushed my skin.
10:27I went rigid.
10:29Ethan's probably in hell right now.
10:31He murmured, sounding almost amused.
10:33He marked the wrong mate.
10:35I hated that I almost laughed.
10:37Even curled up in fear, even trapped under him.
10:39I still had the same savage thought.
10:41Good, he deserved to suffer.
10:43Marcus straightened, then reached for the top buttons of his shirt.
10:47What are you doing?
10:49He didn't answer.
10:51He opened the shirt just enough for me to see the black wolf head mark spread across his chest.
10:56Then it moved.
10:57Black smoke rolled beneath his skin, laced with silver light, like something alive was trying to claw its way out.
11:03My breath caught.
11:04What is that?
11:05His voice sank lower.
11:06Edged with something raw.
11:08It wants you.
11:09He looked down at the shifting mark, his jaw tightening as every muscle in his body seemed to lock.
11:14That was when real panic hit me.
11:16What exactly do you mean?
11:17It wants me?
11:19I jumped off the sofa and backed away so fast, I nearly tripped over the rug, stopping only when the
11:24-
11:24He was in front of me like it could somehow help.
11:26Don't do anything insane, okay?
11:28You may have saved me, but I still have standards.
11:31I'm not having a breakdown and an ending up in your bed.
11:33He was in front of me before I even finished the sentence.
11:36One second there was space between us, the next.
11:39His hand was at the back of my neck, holding me still as my breath caught.
11:42I hit his chest and he went motionless for half a beat before lowering his head to the curve of
11:48my throat and drawing in one slow, unsteady breath.
11:51Standards?
11:52His voice rumbled against my skin, low and not quite steady now.
11:56Rachel, you have no idea what your scent does to a shadow wolf who spent a century alone.
12:01He lifted his head just enough to look at me.
12:04To me?
12:04He said, each word slower than the last.
12:06You smell like the kind of drug that burns every last shred of reason out of a man.
12:11He drove me back into the window.
12:13Cold glass hit my spine.
12:15His body closed me in.
12:16Then he kissed me, hot, hard, and without warning.
12:19A shocked sound caught in my throat.
12:21By the time I shoved at his chest, my lungs were already burning.
12:25Back off!
12:26I snapped, shoving at him.
12:28What the hell is wrong with you?
12:29I shoved him again, then slapped him across the face.
12:32He pulled back just far enough for me to breathe.
12:35I stared at him, horrified and furious, my lips stinging.
12:38You don't get to take that from me!
12:40Marcus's head turned with the slap.
12:42When he looked back at me, his expression was unreadable.
12:45Then one corner of his mouth moved, almost like a smile.
12:48He said, voice low and rough.
12:50Guess Ethan really was a gentleman after all.
12:53Ethan stumbled onto the crash site, shouting my name into the wreckage.
12:57Rachel!
12:58But all that answered him was twisted metal, shattered glass, and blood.
13:02Chloe came after him in her heels, one hand pinching her nose against the smell.
13:07Look at all this blood, she said with a grimace.
13:10The rogues probably dragged her off and tore her apart by now.
13:13Shut up!
13:14Ethan spun on her, eyes blazing.
13:16If you hadn't poisoned my wolf spirit, she never would have left the wedding.
13:21She never would have been out here in the first place.
13:24Chloe didn't flinch.
13:25She stepped in close, her voice low and poisonous.
13:28Oh, I drugged you.
13:30Sure.
13:31But don't stand there pretending you didn't want this.
13:34You wanted power, and you wanted her moon witch bloodline.
13:38Save the innocent act for someone stupider than me.
13:41And don't forget, Ethan, you belong to me now.
13:44Cross me, and my family will bury you.
13:46His hand shot out and clamped around her throat.
13:48He slammed her back against the crumpled hood of the wrecked car hard enough to make the metal groan.
13:53The veins in his neck stood out.
13:55If I find her...
13:57He snarled, tightening his grip.
13:59His face twisted with fury.
14:01And you, you'll rot in a cell begging to die.
14:05Chloe's face turned red fast.
14:07Her heels scraped uselessly against the dirt as she fought for air.
14:11Then she forced the words out anyway, broken and vicious.
14:16Did you smell this hair?
14:18Ethan's grip loosened by an inch.
14:20Chloe coughed, dragged in air, and laughed right in his face.
14:24She rubbed at her bruised throat and tipped her head, watching him.
14:27And once a woman falls into his hands...
14:29Her smile sharpened.
14:30Do you really think she's still your Rachel?
14:33Ethan went still for half a beat.
14:35That was all Chloe needed.
14:36She slid off the hood, straightened herself, and stepped right back into the game
14:40like she'd never been choked at all.
14:42Name me your only Luna, she said, smoothing down her dress.
14:46Once I strip Rachel of her title in public,
14:48the pack can drag her back and force her to stand trial.
14:52Her eyes glittered.
14:53She'll be dragged into a bloodline trial whether she wants it or not.
14:57Ethan looked down at his arm.
14:59Black veins were starting to spread beneath his skin.
15:02Signs of wolf spirit backlash.
15:04For the first time, hesitation cut through his rage.
15:07Chloe saw it.
15:08Of course she did.
15:09She stepped closer, one hand sliding up his chest,
15:13her thigh brushing high against him with slow, calculated pressure.
15:16I have witch hunters.
15:18She whispered.
15:19Even if Marcus escorts her, we can still take her.
15:21Send word to every pack.
15:23Tell Rachel...
15:24The children in her parents' orphanage will die first.
15:27Ethan shoved her off him so hard she stumbled sideways.
15:31His fist crashed into the car door with a dull, brutal bang.
15:34Then he lifted his head.
15:36Make the arrangements.
15:37In three days, Silvermoon pack will host a wedding no one will forget.
15:41Chloe's smile slowly spread.
15:43She pulled out her phone and started dialing.
15:45The car rolled out of the villa grounds.
15:48Marcus held out a glass filled with dark red liquid.
15:51Drink.
15:52I stared at it.
15:53What is that?
15:54My brought her down.
15:55Dark red streaks clung to the crystal.
15:57My stomach turned but I drank.
15:59It burned all the way down.
16:01I wiped my mouth and glared at him.
16:03Where are you taking me?
16:05Silvermoon.
16:06My head snapped toward him.
16:07What?
16:07I grabbed for the seatbelt.
16:09My fingers already fumbling for the latch.
16:12Then the screen built into the car lit up.
16:14A voice came through the speakers.
16:16One I recognized instantly.
16:19Ethan.
16:19In three days, Silvermoon pack will hold the Luna ceremony.
16:23Chloe Moon, traitor to her pack and collaborator with outsiders, will submit to a bloodline trial.
16:29If Rachel refuses to appear, the children in her parents' orphanage will pay the price of her place.
16:35My vision flashed white with rage.
16:37The crystal glass cracked in my hand, then shattered.
16:40Silver blood welled from my palm and ran over my fingers.
16:44He's out of his mind.
16:46Words tore out of me before I could stop them.
16:48He's really threatening those kids?
16:50I'd thought catching him in bed with Chloe on a wedding day had already told me exactly what kind of
16:55monster he was.
16:56Turns out, I'd still given him too much credit.
16:59A man like Ethan never hit bottom.
17:01He only kept sinking.
17:02Marcus sat beside me, turning the wolfhead ring on his finger like none of this surprised him.
17:07His profile stayed cold and unreadable.
17:10If he completes the ritual in public, he said, you become open prey to all of Silvermoon.
17:16I swallowed hard.
17:18So either way, I'm dead.
17:20That finally brought his gaze to me.
17:22If you walk in there alone, his voice stayed low.
17:25Yes.
17:26I leaned back into the seat and let out a shaky breath because for the first time since the crash,
17:31I wasn't alone.
17:32Marcus was still here.
17:33And somehow that made the fear loosen just a little.
17:36A few minutes later, the gates of Ethan's estate came into view.
17:39Only this time, the place looked nothing like the home I knew.
17:43Security was everywhere.
17:45One of the guards stepped up to the window and bent for a closer look.
17:48And his face changed instantly.
17:51Alpha Night Thing?
17:52He blurted.
17:53What are you doing?
17:54Marcus gave him the faintest smile.
17:57I'm returning your Luna.
17:58Then he tipped his head toward me and added almost lazily.
18:03Sorry, former Luna.
18:04For one second, I thought I'd misheard him.
18:07Then I turned to him.
18:09You're not coming in with me?
18:11He flicked two fingers.
18:13The car door unlocked with a soft click.
18:15Get out.
18:16Outside.
18:17The guard's expression had already shifted from shock to hunger.
18:21He'd delivered me straight to their doorstep, like a gift.
18:24I stumbled out of the car and nearly went down on the gravel behind me.
18:28The Mybox engine let out a savage roar.
18:30Then the car whipped around and tore back down the drive without a second glance.
18:34I watched the taillights vanish and let out a short, bitter laugh.
18:38Of course.
18:39Should have known better.
18:40Take her.
18:41Two guards grabbed me before I could run, dragged me through the doors, and threw me into the center of
18:46the great hall hard enough to knock the breath out of me.
18:48When I looked up, Silver Moon Pack was already waiting.
18:51Rows of pack members lined both sides of the hall, and hundreds of eyes fixed on me at once.
18:56Curious, cold, hungry.
18:58Then Chloe's voice sliced clean through the silence.
19:01Well look who got sent back.
19:03She stood there in a black wedding gown crusted with shattered diamonds, all smug smiles and poison.
19:09Our precious moon witch heir.
19:11What happened, Rachel?
19:13Marcus got bored of you already?
19:15She was curled against Ethan's side like she belonged there, and the sight of them together turned my stomach.
19:20Ethan broke first.
19:22Rachel.
19:23He shoved away from Chloe, crossed the room fast, and dragged me into his arms so hard I almost lost
19:29my footing.
19:30Thank God.
19:31Get off me!
19:32I slammed both hands against his chest and shoved with everything I had.
19:36You don't get to touch me after what you did.
19:38He staggered back half a step, stunned, but the softness vanished from his face almost immediately.
19:44You forced this.
19:45If you hadn't run.
19:47I forced this?
19:48Did I force you to screw Chloe on our wedding day too?
19:50His jaw locked.
19:51His fists clenched.
19:53Black backlash veins climbed the side of his neck like rot spreading under his skin.
19:58You belong to me, Rachel.
19:59Come back, and I won't have to hurt those kids.
20:02This is on you.
20:03He reached for me again.
20:04That's enough.
20:05The doors opened, and a broad, gray-haired man in a dark cloak strode in, like he owned the building
20:10and everyone breathing in it.
20:12With one sharp gesture, he summoned the witch hunters.
20:15They wore half-iron masks and moved like trained executioners.
20:19And before I could fight them off, they forced me to the floor.
20:22Hold her still.
20:23A blade flashed.
20:24Pain tore through my forearm, then ripped across my palm, and silver blood spilled into a waiting vial.
20:30I thrashed so hard my shoulder nearly gave out.
20:33Keep her down.
20:34Draw more.
20:35I twisted, kicked, clawed for purchase, and the hunter on my right drove his fist into my ribs.
20:40Agony burst through my side.
20:42My body folded, and I dropped to my knees, gasping.
20:45Stop!
20:45Ethan lunged forward at last, panic finally breaking through his rage.
20:49Enough!
20:50Stop taking blood from her!
20:52If you keep going, she'll die!
20:55Chloe caught him by the arm and shoved him back with surprising force.
20:58Oh, please.
20:59This is taking forever.
21:01She stepped toward me with a ceremonial blade in her hand, the metal carved with red runes that glowed beneath
21:07the chandeliers.
21:08If you want real results, she said sweetly.
21:10Why not just slit her throat?
21:12She pressed the blade to my neck, cold steel-kissed skin.
21:14Let go of me!
21:16I jerked against the hunter's grip with the last of my strength.
21:19If I was going to die here, I'd take her with me.
21:22Then, boom, the hall doors exploded inward, the blast shaking the chandeliers as glass rained down, and people screamed.
21:30A black shape crossed the room, so fast it barely looked human.
21:35One second Chloe's blade was at my throat.
21:37The next, it snapped in half in her hand.
21:40Silence hit the hall like a blow.
21:41Then came his voice low, deadly, and furious enough to freeze blood.
21:46Who gave you the right to touch her?
21:48Every head in the hall turned at once.
21:50Then the room fell deathly silent.
21:52I forced my eyes open through the blur of pain.
21:55Marcus stood there with one of the witch hunters lifted clean off the floor, his hand locked around the man's
22:00throat.
22:01Marcus!
22:01Have you lost your damn mind?
22:03You'd start a war between two packs over a human?
22:06Marcus let out a short, cold laugh.
22:08Then he snapped the hunter's neck.
22:10Just like that.
22:11The body went limp in his grip, and he hurled it into the wall hard enough to crack the plaster.
22:16Across the hall, Alpha Rowan of the Lewis family went pale.
22:20The old bastard stumbled backward and nearly fell.
22:23Don't forget, if I press that button, the orphanage goes up in flames!
22:29Marcus didn't even blink.
22:30He reached into his coat pocket, pulled out a black metal badge streaked with blood, and tossed it to the
22:36floor.
22:36It spun once before stopping at Rowan's feet.
