Short filmTranscript
00:00The first thing the PAC doctor told me when I woke up was that my pup was gone.
00:05The second was that my mate, Zane, our PAC's formidable Gamma Commander,
00:10was too busy comforting another woman to answer the hospital's frantic mind links.
00:15When Zane finally burst through the clinic doors, he brought the freezing stench of the storm with him.
00:20His eyes were bloodshot.
00:21But he didn't look at me with grief.
00:23He looked at me with pure, unadulterated fury.
00:29A fucking life, Serena!
00:31How could you make a decision like that without a single word?
00:37I slipped in the mud, trying to board up our roof during the storm.
00:41I called out for you through our bond.
00:43He lunged forward, his large, calloused hand gripping my chin, forcing me to meet his furious gaze.
00:48The doctor said you miscarried.
00:51But I know you, Serena.
00:53Serena, you were furious that I gave the sanctuary pass to Quinn.
00:59Did you take Wolfsame?
01:01Did you kill our pup just to spine me?
01:06I flapped his hand away.
01:08You gave her the pass to the human safe zone.
01:11You left me to weather the storm alone while you fixed her roof because she's scared of thunder.
01:15If the pup survived, we wouldn't have the resources to feed it anyway.
01:22Zane growled, pacing the room like a caged beast.
01:26If you just learn to budget properly, my gamma stipends is more than enough to feed you and a pup!
01:34Oh, really?
01:35But how would that work, Zane?
01:38You have to save half your stiffage to support Quinn.
01:45Quinn's an Omega.
01:48She's fragile, and she's my dead captain's widow.
01:51He died saving my life on the battlefield.
01:54It is my sworn duty to take care of her.
01:57Why are you always so fucking, Jella-grieving widow?
02:03I stared down at my flat, aching stomach.
02:05The phantom weight of my pup was a gaping hole in my soul.
02:09Ever since I got pregnant, Quinn had been crying every single day.
02:13She would show up at our porch, tears spilling over her huge, innocent eyes,
02:18sobbing about how she was barren.
02:19How she would never be blessed with a pup.
02:21It didn't take long for Zane to lose his patience.
02:24He started scolding me in front of the entire pack,
02:26calling me an insensitive bitch for rubbing my pregnancy in Quinn's face.
02:31Believe whatever helps you sleep at night, Commander.
02:35The pup is gone.
02:37You win.
02:38Before Zane could snap back, the heavy hospital door creaked open.
02:42Serena, did you really?
02:45Did you really kill the pup?
02:48Her face as pale as snow.
02:50She gasped out.
02:51It's my fault.
02:53My body is so weak, and Zane worries about me too much.
02:56If you were angry, you should have punished me.
02:59Why would you hurt an innocent pup?
03:02Zane rushed to her side, wrapping his strong arms around her waist,
03:06catching her before she could fall.
03:08His eyes were filled with nothing but raw, tender panic.
03:12Even an outsider can see how monstrous this is.
03:14You murdered your own flesh and blood, and now you're taking it out on Quinn?
03:19Zane, don't yell at her.
03:20It's my fault.
03:21I'm just a burden.
03:22His large hand rubbing circles on her back.
03:25So gentle.
03:26So practiced.
03:27I watched them.
03:28The agonizing cramps in my uterus flared, but the pain in my chest had entirely disappeared.
03:34There was nothing left but ice.
03:36Serena, Quinn is having a panic attack.
03:39I'm taking her back to the pack house.
03:41You need to cool off and think about what you've done.
03:44He scooped the delicate omega up in his arms and strode out of the room without a backward glance.
03:50Silence swallowed the room.
03:53Silence swallowed the room.
03:55A nurse hurried in.
03:56Where did the gamma go?
03:57Your surgery bill is still short of twenty silver coins.
04:02I laughed.
04:03A dry, scraping sound.
04:06I'm discharging myself, I said, ripping the IV out of my arm.
04:11I'm discharging myself.
04:14Are you crazy?
04:15You just had a DCU to clean out the miscarriage.
04:18You're still bleeding.
04:19You could die.
04:21I'm hard to kill.
04:26I was done.
04:28I didn't want him, and I didn't want this bond anymore.
04:33Zane looked at the papers I slapped onto the cheap, rotting wood of my slum apartment table.
04:38He burst into a harsh, grating laugh that vibrated with his gamma dominance.
04:44A formal mate rejection?
04:46Are you out of your fucking mind, Serena?
04:48You're throwing away our bond over a sanctuary pass?
04:51A bond with you is worse than having no bond at all.
04:54I am done watching Quinn's pathetic act.
04:57I am done being stepped on so you can play the tragic, honorable hero.
05:02Then go do your duty.
05:03Just leave me out of it.
05:06Sign the paper.
05:09I, Serena, reject you, Zane.
05:12Se-
05:16I know your hormones are everywhere because of the miscarriage.
05:20You're emotional.
05:21I get it.
05:24I'm going to try and be patient with you.
05:26He stepped around the table, reaching out to pull me into his chest.
05:30Serena, stop this.
05:32Pack your bags.
05:34Come back to the pack house.
05:35We can talk about the rejection later.
05:37That is your house.
05:39Not mine.
05:41Get out.
05:42If you don't sign it, I'll petition the Alpha to forcibly sever the bond.
05:46Zane rubbed his temples, looking exhausted.
05:49You don't have a job here.
05:50You don't have a clan backing you.
05:54How do you plan to survive without me, Serena?
05:57You'll starve in this neutral zone.
06:03Don't worry about me, Commander.
06:05I just secured a permit to open an epithetary stall in the dirt market.
06:09Gathering herbs in the mud is a filthy job, but it'll keep me fed.
06:14Serena!
06:15How could you do manual labor like that?
06:18It's all my fault.
06:19I shouldn't have taken the path to the human zone.
06:21You can beat me.
06:22You can curse me, Serena.
06:24But please don't humiliate Zane like this.
06:28Working in the dirt market ruins his reputation as a gamma.
06:35Look at her, Serena.
06:36Look at how selfless Quinn is.
06:38And look at yourself.
06:39When did you become such a cold-blooded, spiteful bitch?
06:43You'd rather dig in the mud and drag my name through the dirt than come home and act like a
06:47proper mate.
06:48You are unbelievable.
06:49Take your pathetic stray and get the fuck out of my house, Zane.
06:51You're dirtying my floor.
06:52Good.
06:53If you want to act tough, then stay here.
06:54Let's see how long your pride lasts when you're freezing to death.
06:56He wrapped a protective arm around the sobbing Quinn and stormed out, slamming the rotting door so hard the hinges
07:03screamed.
07:04Leave her be, Quinn.
07:06She's just throwing a tantrum.
07:07I walked slowly to the door and slid the heavy iron deadbolt into place.
07:11Crawl back to you?
07:12I'd rather let the rogues tear my throat out.
07:15The neutral zone market smelled of sweat, raw meat, and desperation.
07:20I rented the cheapest open-air spot by the gutters and set up my apothecary stall.
07:24I woke up before dawn to forage in the dangerous outskirts and stayed up late brewing healing salves and stamina
07:30potions.
07:31Because my potions were potent and my prices fair, my stall quickly became the busiest in the market.
07:37In this harsh world, hard work was my only currency.
07:41Gossip trickled down from the human safe zone.
07:43I heard that Quinn had used my sanctuary pass to get a cushy job in the human textile factory.
07:48She wore a brand new cashmere coat bought by Zayn.
07:51But she was too fragile.
07:53She complained about the cotton dust hurting her throat, whined about the lad machines,
07:58took sick leave constantly, and ruined a massive batch of expensive dyed fabric.
08:03The human boss wanted to fire her, but Zayn used his gamma influence to protect her.
08:08I just smirked, handed a fresh bottle of Wolfbane Antidote to a mercenary, and felt absolutely nothing.
08:15One evening, as I was packing up my crates, the heavy stomping of combat boots made the ground vibrate.
08:21Several heavily armed market enforcers blocked my stall.
08:25Zayn's personal beta guard, Jax, was among them, pacing anxiously, avoiding my eyes.
08:31My stomach dropped.
08:32Before I could speak, the enforcer captain, wearing a red armband, stepped up.
08:38Serena, we received a tip.
08:40You're accused of smuggling lethal contraband into packed territory.
08:44You must have the wrong person.
08:45I sell healing herbs.
08:47What contraband?
08:48Search it!
08:50Four wolves tore my stall apart.
08:52Less than two minutes later, an enforcer dragged two heavy wooden crates from under my table and smashed them on
08:58the ground.
08:59The wood splintered.
09:01Dozens of pure silver daggers coated in refined, weaponized Wolfbane spilled out onto the cobblestones.
09:09That's weaponized Wolfbane on those silver blades.
09:13She's selling lethal weapons to rogues.
09:16I dug this now, was too.
09:18That's a death sentence!
09:21I stared at the silver daggers, my blood turning to ice.
09:25Those crates weren't mine.
09:27I had been framed.
09:28The crowd parted, and Quinn shrank forward.
09:31Serena, how could you be so stupid?
09:34But her eyes gleamed maliciously as they swept over me.
09:38She cried, making sure her voice carried to everyone.
09:41I told you to stop doing illegal things, but you called me a nosy bitch!
09:48She pulled a crumpled piece of paper from her pocket, waving it as if it burned her fingers.
09:53You said, you said because you lost the pup you wanted to make fast money to buy your way into
09:58the safe zone!
09:58It was the most absurd, sickening lie I had ever heard.
10:02Zane pushed his way to the front.
10:04When his eyes landed on the Wolfsbane coated silver, his face turned the color of ash.
10:09He looked at me, his...
10:13Serena, if you needed money, why didn't you come to me?
10:16Why would you shame me and the pack by doing this?
10:19Zane, don't blame her!
10:20She lost her mind after the miscarriage.
10:23I tried to stop her, but she said I didn't understand what it's like to be poor.
10:27He turned to the Enforcer Captain.
10:31Captain, she has committed a crime.
10:33I am a Gamma of this pack.
10:35I will not shield a criminal.
10:37But, please.
10:41Considering she recently suffered a miscarriage and is mentally unstable.
10:48Show her mercy.
10:51I will take her punishment.
10:53I will beg the Alpha.
10:56I will give up my rank to pay off her sins.
11:02Just, don't let them execute her.
11:04In my past life, I would have begged for this kind of protection.
11:08Now, hearing it, knowing he said it only because he completely bought Quinn's bullshit,
11:13made me want to vomit.
11:14He didn't even ask me if I did it.
11:17He just instantly condemned me, playing the righteous hero who still loved his broken, wicked mate.
11:23Four years as mates, Zane?
11:25And you genuinely think I'm the kind of bitch who would smuggle wolf-lice-coated silver just for a quick
11:30buck?
11:30I spat, my voice laced with venom.
11:33Zane flinched.
11:34His eyes were completely bloodshot, filled with that sickening, patronizing disappointment.
11:41The contraband is literally sitting in front of you.
11:44Do you want to be executed, Serena?
11:47Is it so fucking hard to just admit you made a mistake?
11:50He grabbed my shoulders, his grip bruising my skin.
11:52Just plead guilty.
11:53Pay the fine.
11:55I'll handle the alpha.
11:56I will strip myself of my gamma title to save you from the silver block, but you need to submit!
12:03This was Zane, always intoxicating himself with his own profound, sacrificial love,
12:09while physically shoving me into a fucking abyss.
12:12I didn't do it!
12:14I snarled, shoving his chest so hard he stumbled back.
12:20I'd rather let them tear my throat out than confess to a lie!
12:26Suddenly, old Madam Clara, the human woman who rented me the stall space, charged forward.
12:31She was brandishing a heavy iron soup ladle like a weapon.
12:34Who the hell are you calling a smuggler?
12:36This girl works herself to the bone before the sun even rises.
12:41She doesn't have time to deal with rogue scum!
12:44Then, Clara paused, her eyes widening.
12:47Wait a damn minute.
12:48I saw you!
12:50You were sneaking around Serena's crates last night.
12:53I thought you were just a jealous friend snooping around.
12:57You planted this shit!
13:02Quinn's face lost every drop of color.
13:05She immediately swayed on her feet, clutching her chest as if she had been shot.
13:11And just like that, the crowd's sympathy swung right back to the frail, trembling Omega.
13:16Weakness was always a weapon.
13:18Zane's expression turned utterly lethal.
13:22Blind you shelving t'history.
13:24Are you, you sign-t'ed, you people, Stottsman's fighting the Xurid to Gowen and his Belunds in a night
13:30to Ghent?
13:31Are you trying to give her a fatal heart attack just to escape punishment?
13:38Put the cuffs on her!
13:40Now!
13:42The Enforcer Captain didn't hesitate.
13:45He pulled out a pair of heavy, pure silver handcuffs that burned a werewolf's skin on contact.
13:50Zane turned away, shielding Quinn from the sight, playing the heartbroken mate to perfection.
13:59Take her to the cells.
14:00I'll come down to sort it out.
14:03Before the silver could touch my wrists, the deafening screech of heavy tires ripped through the market.
14:11The air instantly grew impossibly thick.
14:14Everyone present immediately dropped to their knees, bearing their necks in submission.
14:18The pure, terrifying dominance of an Alpha aura washed over the street.
14:23Alpha Jackson stepped out of the vehicle, his boots hitting the pavement like thunder.
14:31What in the goddess name is happening to the wolf who just saved our entire pack from a smuggling ring?
14:36Alpha Jackson was the absolute law.
14:38A ruthless, fair leader who valued strength over all else.
14:42Zane scrambled to his feet, instantly snapping a salute, his face coated in cold sweat.
14:47Alpha, it's an internal dispute.
14:51Serena was caught smuggling silver daggers, and I am enforcing the law.
14:56Smuggling?
14:59Are you a fucking idiot, Zane?
15:01Serena is the one who tipped my personal guard off to this shipment.
15:07Zane blinked, completely, utterly stunned.
15:14She tipped you off?
15:15But there's an eyewitness who saw her-
15:18Gamma, Zane.
15:19If you lack even the basic investigated instincts to see a blatant frame-up, you're not fit to lead my
15:25warriors.
15:28Alpha!
15:29My tiny heart!
15:30Get the medic!
15:31Alpha!
15:32My...
15:33My...
15:33My...
15:34Heart...
15:34My...
15:35I...
15:40Zane reached for her purely on instinct, but Jackson's massive hand swatted him away like a fly.
15:47He nodded to the man's...
15:49The pack doctor.
15:50The doctor knelt, gripping Quinn's wrist with brutal efficiency.
15:54He pried open her eyelids as she thrashed and shrieked in panic.
15:57It was the last who died from him, Dr.
15:58Hastings?
15:58Thanks.
15:58Thanks.産捷
