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

00:41:43You...
00:41:43You did this on purpose!

00:49:37the crystals had no natural energy
00:49:39signature
00:49:41alexander, you spent fifty thousand dollars on victoria's genuine necklace?
00:49:45for me, you buy flea market trash?
00:49:47if you're going to lie, at least spend enough for a decent fake

00:50:19gah
00:50:20you pay for your travel permit? let's go now
00:50:26brother, stop pretending! it's fake! you bought it for three hundred dollars from the street market!
00:50:32she doesn't deserve real diamonds anyway

00:51:37your parents get eight thousand dollars monthly avowance
00:51:40the four of you will be homeless
00:51:41so what? we have victoria! she'll provide for us!
00:51:47victoria just got fired for her third job in the northern territory
00:51:50and not only that, but she's also
00:51:52from what i hear, she failed every therapy certification
00:51:55her family's business went bankrupt
00:51:56they can't help you
00:52:00the villa is part of the mating bond! brothers should get half!
00:52:03this was my property before mating
00:52:04under pac law, severance means you have no claim
00:52:08study the old laws

00:52:50don't bother with empty gestures
00:52:52alexander, if you won't sign the severance papers

00:53:14alexander, you're an even bigger disappointment than i imagined
00:53:24scarlet, can't we just talk about this?
00:53:31scarlet, you dare show your face?
00:53:34what kind of mate abandons her warrior and pack elders?

00:53:49what could you possibly-
00:53:53you dare lecture me?
00:53:54at least i didn't chase another she-wolf's mate?
00:53:57joining his pack trip like some desperate omega?
00:54:00you struck me again!
00:54:04are you gonna let her attack me twice?
00:54:09he has no right to interfere
00:54:11victoria, since you're here, help convince him to sign the severance papers
00:54:18stop dragging this out until i have to petition the pack council
00:54:20we're severing eventually
00:54:22making it messy will only lower my opinion of him further
00:54:26just sever the bond with her alexander!
00:54:28what could you possibly miss about that she-wolf?
00:54:30i can't believe you!
00:54:31didn't you say you couldn't stand her?
00:54:32why won't you agree to the severance?
00:54:33i don't understand
00:54:33i may not like scarlet but i can't casually sever a bond
00:54:36you're meeting some jackpeter so when you're next to-

00:55:21these must have cost you
00:55:22they did, but you're worth any price
00:55:30alexander, we've been mated almost six years
00:55:31this is your first courting gift
00:55:33i used to dream of receiving moonflowers from you but you never bothered
00:55:35what's the point now? i don't want them anymore
00:55:40skip the false gestures this severance is happening
00:55:44i i know you're angry about victoria joining the trip making you travel alone
00:55:48i was horrible i see that now give me a chance to make it right

00:56:01family can't lose your golden goose no it's because i love you i can't bear to
00:56:20silence you disgust me keep pushing and i'll share the bond memories of you
00:56:23and victoria in our bedroom with the entire pack
00:56:31you captured the bond memory when not so confident now weren't you just talking
00:56:36until you fell asleep explain that to the pack and see if they believe that memory now
00:56:42i'll delete it after you sign the severance papers
00:56:53scarlet is there really no hope for us
00:56:59none what about the pack politics the other warriors already mock me
00:57:04if you sever my reputation you should have thought about that before buying victoria
00:57:07fifty thousand dollars necklace with my money
00:57:12three days later alexander appeared at my office entrance
00:57:19mate
00:57:40enough alexander don't try to win me back like this
00:57:45i know i was wrong those nights your body your sin every tremble you made beneath me i can't forget
00:57:50any of any of it scarlet come back to me
00:57:57so
00:58:06you
00:58:52Tonight, I only want you.
00:59:32You are mine forever, Scarlet.
00:59:45Now, the memory only felt bitterly ironic.
00:59:51Alexander returned three days later to sign the papers.
00:59:54The day of our severance ritual, Victoria attended.
01:00:06Planning to complete your mate bond right after severing ours, Alexander?
01:00:09Of course.
01:00:19Once he's free of you, he's marking me immediately.
01:00:21I already carry his pup.
01:00:23We'll be a happy family of three.
01:00:26We were mated five years with no pups.
01:00:29I passed all fertility tests, but you refused them.
01:00:31Now, Victoria suddenly bearing?
01:00:33Impressive.
01:00:36What are you suggesting?
01:00:37This pup is definitely Alexander's!
01:00:41If you say so, why so defensive?
01:00:48The PAC council members performing the ritual exchange knowing looks.
01:00:51They'd all been my therapy clients.
01:00:52They knew Victoria's pattern of lying about pregnancies to trap males.
01:00:58After our bond was severed, Alexander immediately took Victoria for their bonding ceremony.
01:01:04Still here?
01:01:05Why?
01:01:09To take back my villa.
01:01:11The villa?
01:01:12You're his former mate now.
01:01:13That's our home.
01:01:32You seem confused.
01:01:34Alexander's been living in my property.
01:01:36I gave them two months to leave, but they squatted like omegas.
01:01:39So I'm bringing the PAC council enforcers to remove them.
01:01:42Alexander, is this true?
01:01:46Scarlet, why be so cruel?
01:01:47You're wealthy.
01:01:48What's wrong with us using your villa?
01:01:51Listen to yourself.
01:01:53You've bonded with a new mate, but want to live in your former mate's home?
01:01:59Have you no pride?
01:02:10This she-wolf is abusing her wealth and power to steal our home.
01:02:15Council members, this villa was mine before mating.
01:02:18We've severed bonds, yet they refuse to leave.
01:02:26Alexander, let's settle this before the enforcers.
01:02:33The $500,000 I paid for your PAC's debt was a loan.
01:02:36Due in five years.
01:02:38Time's up.
01:02:39Pay up.
01:03:06You said I didn't need to repay that.
01:03:09I never said that.
01:03:11Pay me.
01:03:15Alexander?
01:03:16You owe her half a million dollars?
01:03:18Victoria, I can explain.
01:03:20You said your family was wealthy!
01:03:21You said you'd take care of me!
01:03:29Under PAC law, all debts must be settled during severance.
01:03:42Finally, Alexander had to lead his family to Victoria's small apartment.
01:03:47I sold the villa the next day.
01:03:49I had the PAC pay to help recover the debt through legal channels.
01:03:52Then, I packed my therapy practice, and began exploring distant territories.
01:03:56My high-end clients would follow me anywhere.
01:04:04I heard later that Victoria and Emma fought, causing Victoria to loathe her pup.
01:04:08Funny how that happened right after the PAC council demanded a pregnancy test.
01:04:31Without my guidance, Emma got expelled from her private school.
01:04:39Her combat training scores dropped from top 50 to bottom ranks.
01:04:45The elders were treated like servants by Victoria and her parents.
01:04:48Forced to work even when sick.
01:04:49I heard they're trying to contact me through other PAC members, hoping I'll return and rebond with Alexander.
01:04:57Alexander wants to sever from Victoria, hoping I'll take him back.
01:05:00These shameless wolves can howl all they want.
01:05:03I'm done with them.
01:05:10Now I just want to run free under open skies, building my therapy practice in new territories.
01:05:16Some say I was cool, destroying their lives like that.
01:05:18But a mate who sends you into deadly territory alone while buying another female gifts.
01:05:22He deserves everything he got.
01:05:27I'm finally living for myself, and it feels wonderful.
01:05:30Let the PAC gossip.
01:05:31This she-wolf is done playing nice.
01:05:33Now I just want to run free under open skies, chasing the horizon.
01:05:36Let the PAC gossip.
01:05:37Bye-bye.
01:05:37Bye-bye.
01:05:38Bye-bye.
01:05:38Bye-bye.
