Short filmTranscript
00:00My foster sister Sophia, the last purebred white wolf in Grell Village, was raped and tortured to death by an
00:07unknown rogue wolf.
00:09Her suicide note contained only one sentence. Lena saw his face.
00:15From that day on, I became the pack's greatest sinner.
00:19Because I knew who the killer was. But I kept silent for five years.
00:23Until my foster brother Damien, the most powerful alpha in North America, returned.
00:30He brought back the soul vision device and forcibly extracted memories from my werewolf soul.
00:36All the werewolves who had the soul vision device used on them either died or went insane.
00:43My werewolf was repeatedly tortured in the device.
00:46But Damien suppressed the pain in his eyes and roared.
00:50When I find the truth, I'll send you and the murderer to hell together.
01:00But when they finally discovered the truth, Damien went mad.
01:09My foster sister Sophia, the last purebred white wolf in Grell Village, was dead.
01:14Three days.
01:16That's how long she suffered at the hands of an unknown rogue wolf before they found her.
01:20Her pure white wolf blind had been completely defiled.
01:25She couldn't face the pack anymore.
01:28She was terrified of bringing misfortune to everyone she loved.
01:31So she ran into the forest.
01:35Then she threw herself into the ice lake.
01:42The water turned red around her broken body.
01:49Her suicide note contained only one sentence.
01:53Lena saw his face.
01:58From that day forward, I became the pack's greatest sinner.
02:02Because I knew who the killer was.
02:05I knew his name, his face, his scent.
02:08Yet I chose silence.
02:11For five whole years, I protected that monster.
02:16The sound of his crying followed me into the darkness.
02:20You bastard protector!
02:21You betrayed Grell!
02:22The angry voices outside grew louder.
02:24Come out and face us, traitor.
02:25You're protecting the scum who defiled our purebred.
02:28The pack had surrounded my cave again.
02:30They carried torches that cast dancing's of shadows on the walls.
02:34Their furious roars made the stone foundation shake.
02:37Freak!
02:38Witch!
02:39I had heard these accusations every night for five years.
02:43The words had lost their sting.
02:47But the hatred behind them still burned like acid in my veins.
02:51I walked to where Fenrek waited in the shadows.
02:54My black hunting dog had been my only companion since Sophia's death.
03:00Drive them away.
03:02I whispered, reaching for his iron chain.
03:06The pack members scattered like startled prey.
03:09Cavalzin' berry, but with Kim Rome.
03:12They left.
03:14But I lost everything that night, too.
03:20My foster sister, Sophia, the last purebred white wolf in Grell Village, was dead.
03:26Three days.
03:27That's how long she suffered at the hands of an unknown rogue wolf before they found her.
03:31Her pure white wolf bloodline had been completely defiled.
03:35She couldn't face the pack anymore.
03:37She was terrified of bringing misfortune to everyone she loved.
03:42So she ran into the forest.
03:44Then she threw herself into the ice lake.
03:47The water turned red around her broken body.
03:51Her suicide note contained only one sentence.
03:54Lina saw his face.
03:57From that day forward, I became the pack's greatest sinner.
04:05Because I knew who the killer was.
04:09I knew his name.
04:11His face.
04:12His scent.
04:14Yet I chose silence.
04:16For five whole years, I protected that monster.
04:20Aunt Lina, please!
04:22The voice outside my cave was raw with desperation.
04:25Just tell me his name!
04:27It was Aiden.
04:29Sophia's only cub.
04:30He knelt outside my stone cave every full moon.
04:34Tears streaming down his young face.
04:37Please!
04:38Avenge my mother!
04:40You saw the killer's face!
04:43Why won't you speak?
04:45His sobs echoed off the cave walls.
04:48Each cry felt like a knife twisting in my chest.
04:52This seven-year-old child had lost everything.
04:55His mother was gone.
04:57His childhood was destroyed.
05:01I was the only one who could give him justice.
05:03I stood behind the stone door, listening to his heartbreaking wails.
05:08My hands trembled against the cold rock.
05:10Every instinct screamed at me to comfort him.
05:13To hold him.
05:15To give him the answers he needed.
05:17Instead, I turned away.
05:20I walked deeper into my cave and shut the inner door.
05:27Five years later, my body grew weak and frail.
05:31I could barely leave my stone bed.
05:34Only the medicinal herbs native to our territory kept me alive.
05:40That's when Damien stepped through the destruction.
05:43My foster brother had returned, dragging me back to the time before everything shattered.
05:57Lena, don't worry.
05:59When I become the strongest wolf, I'll carry you everywhere.
06:03No one will ever bully you again.
06:09Then I'll always be your little sister.
06:11We'll never separate.
06:16The Damien who once swore to protect me with his life had become the one who now came to destroy
06:21me.
06:21He was no longer the young wolf I remembered from our childhood.
06:25Now he stood as the most powerful alpha lord in North America.
06:28Twelve black wolf guards flanked him like shadows of death.
06:32Get up, Lena.
06:34Today is your judgment day.
06:57Damien, I'm sick.
07:02I'm sick.
07:06You're sick because you have guilt eating away at your conscience.
07:12Sophia was blind to call you sister.
07:15She's been dead for five years.
07:18Meanwhile, the bastard who defiled purebloods has been living free for five years.
07:28Today, I'll use the soul vision device.
07:31I'll see exactly who you've been protecting all these years.
07:37Are you going to kill me?
07:42The moon was full and bright overhead.
07:44Its silver light illuminated the packed village square below.
07:48Every werewolf and grell had gathered for this moment.
07:52They formed a perfect circle around the ancient judgment platform.
07:55Their eyes gleamed with bloodlust and anticipation.
07:58A pack recorder held up a crystal orb.
08:02The magical device pulsed with ethereal light.
08:06I realized with growing horror that this trial was being broadcast live to the entire North American werewolf community.
08:16The black wolf guards hauled me up to the stone steps.
08:20Each movement sent pain shreering through my malnourished body.
08:24A small figure broke through the crowd and rushed onto the platform.
08:28Aiden, seven years old now.
08:31Sophia's only surviving blood.
08:33McLean!
08:33His wolf eyes had already begun to turn red with rage and grief.
08:37He grabbed my torn sleeve with both hands.
08:40Why won't you tell us who killed her?
08:42Why won't you let me avenge my mother?
08:46Tears streamed down his young face.
08:49His voice cracked with unbearable pain.
08:55I've waited of years!
08:57Five whole years!
08:59He sobbed.
09:00Every night I dream about her.
09:02She's calling for justice!
09:04I looked down at this broken child.
09:06My throat felt like it was closing up.
09:09The words I wanted to say turned to ash in my mouth.
09:13The crowd below began to hole.
09:18She knows the killer but won't speak!
09:21Rogue wolves are all heartless!
09:25She's brought shame to Grell's honor!
09:28Their voices crashed over me like a tsunami.
09:30Louder and louder until I couldn't think straight.
09:34Damien stepped in front of me.
09:38His wolf eyes were like chips of arctic ice.
09:41We had once been family.
09:43We had played together as cubs.
09:46We had shared meals and stories and dreams.
09:50But after Sophia's death, he decided I had betrayed everything sacred.
09:55There's still time to tell the truth.
09:58He said, his voice dropping to a deadly whisper.
10:01Confess who you've been protecting.
10:03Admit which bastard defiled our purebred.
10:09I struggled desperately against the guards holding me.
10:13Damien!
10:14You can't activate it!
10:16You'll regret this!
10:19Regret?
10:20He laughed coldly, cutting off my words.
10:24My biggest regret is picking you up from the snow when we were children!
10:28His voice turned raw with pain and fury.
10:31We hold it!
10:32All these years I treated you like a real sister!
10:35I protected you!
10:36I cared for you!
10:37The black wolf guards forced me into the metal judgment chair.
10:40The cold steel bit into my skin.
10:42Heavy shackles locked around my wrists and ankles.
10:44I couldn't move.
10:45I couldn't escape.
10:46A metal helmet descended from above.
10:48Countless thin needles pressed against my scalp, searching for entry points.
10:52The sharp tips pierced through skin and bone drilling straight toward my wolf soul core.
10:56Tears streaming down my face.
10:57I begged him,
10:58Damien, please!
11:02The soul vision device projection screen lit up in the center of the square.
11:06My memories began to tear away from my mind and display for everyone to see.
11:10The werewolves below roared with fury.
11:13They hurled burning branches and sharp stones at me.
11:16Go to hell, scum!
11:17Flames grazed my arm.
11:20My skin turned black and chores instantly.
11:23But I didn't move.
11:25I couldn't move.
11:26The first memory flickered onto the massive screen.
11:30Three days after Sophia's death.
11:32I was being dragged by black wolf guards to the village bonfire platform.
11:36The pack members spat at me.
11:38They threw silver daggers.
11:40Claws raped across my face, blood streaming down my cheeks.
11:44Tell us the killer's name.
11:45You protecting bastard.
11:47I broke free from their grip.
11:49I ran desperately towards my stone cave.
11:51When I looked back, everything was in ruin.
11:53Flames had devoured Moonstone Altar.
11:56The wolfskin blanket Sophia gave me was burning.
11:59With nowhere left to go, I fled into the snowy mountains with Fenrock.
12:03But the pack followed us.
12:04They surrounded us in the white wilderness.
12:10But the pack followed us.
12:12They surrounded us in the white wilderness.
12:15I collapsed in the deep snow.
12:18Too weak to run anymore.
12:19Fenor immediately stood in front of me.
12:21At the approaching wolves.
12:23When they attacked with silver blades and chains, he fought back furiously.
12:27He took several heavy blows meant for me.
12:30Blood pouring from his shoulder and back.
12:32Even as he bled, he kept pushing me behind him, refusing to retreat.
12:35Right in front of me, they used silver blades and chains to slice off pieces of Fenor's flesh.
12:40Strip by strip.
12:41He never cried out.
12:42Even with his last breath, he was still trying to protect me.
12:45The snow turned crimson with his blood.
12:48I held his broken body and cried until my throat bled.
12:52I was only 16 years old.
12:54No parents.
12:56No family.
12:57No pack.
12:58No pack.
13:03You deserved it.
13:04If you hadn't protected the bastard who defiled pure bloods, would you have suffered this punishment?
13:10She still wants sympathy.
13:12Sophia had it much worse.
13:15Lone Wolf.
13:19Lina, let's race and see who runs faster.
13:25Hurry up, little sister.
13:38Mama.
13:42Mama.
13:44Did you catch the killer?
13:46Please, have you found any clues about the murderer?
13:53Grell Village was remote and isolated.
13:56We had no magical surveillance.
13:59My stone cave was far from others.
14:02No one knew who had followed Sophia that day.
14:05Only I knew the truth of what happened.
14:08The memory continued playing.
14:12After our playful time in the snow, the screen flickered again.
14:17I was standing outside my cave.
14:20In my hand was a small jar of evening primos honey balm.
14:25A gift from Sophia.
14:27She had once told me.
14:31I gathered this in the Spinal Ridge Mountains.
14:34I almost got captured by eagle shifters.
14:37I made it specially for you, Lina.
14:40The next second, I turned around and threw the jar into a mountain crease.
14:49The watching wolves exploded with rage.
14:51She actually threw away the bomb.
14:53Sophia risked her life to make.
14:55That purebred wolf risked everything for that medicine.
14:57And she won't even look at it.
14:59So fake.
15:00Sophia loved her so much, but she's completely heartless.
15:03Lone wolves really have no family bonds.
15:06Torches rose higher.
15:08The angry roars shook the earth.
15:11Damien stood in front of me without saying a word.
15:15Of course he knew why I had thrown away that jar.
15:18He remembered clearly.
15:21Our foster mother had once held his hand and said,
15:27Lina will suffocate if she touches evening primon.
15:32You must protect her.
15:34That time I accidentally ate the flower petals.
15:37My lips turned purple.
15:39I stopped breathing three times.
15:41It was Damien who rushed into the blizzard in the middle of the night.
15:45He searched three entire mountains to find the antidote.
15:49When he carried me back to the village,
15:52his knees were frozen raw.
15:54Blood seeped into the snow.
15:57But now he said nothing.
16:02He let the wolves curse me.
16:10The wolves below roared like a tsunami.
16:13They waved their torches high,
16:15sparks flying onto the platform.
16:18Alpha!
16:19Continue!
16:20We want to see the killer!
16:23Damien raised his hand coldly.
16:25He nodded to the soul mace.
16:29Increase the soul vision intensity.
16:31I want to see the memories from that night at Black Pine Forest.
16:36The soul major gritted his teeth and pushed the energy lever forward.
16:41The metal needles suddenly pierced three inches deeper.
16:44They reached straight to the core of my soul.
16:46My entire body convulsed violently.
16:47A scream tore through my throat.
16:49The soul vibration felt like razor blades turning inside my brain.
16:52Blood red light exploded before my eyes.
16:54Memory fragments began to flash across the screen.
16:59The classroom.
17:00A small hut surrounded by earth walls.
17:04A bonfire burned in the center.
17:07Sophia, Damien, and I sat in a circle.
17:11She used her claws to tear apart the roasted deer leg.
17:14She placed the most tender piece in my hand.
17:17Lena needs to grow.
17:19She must eat more.
17:20I looked up at her and smiled.
17:23She smiled back.
17:26The scene shifted.
17:28By the stream.
17:30My foot slipped and I fell into the icy water.
17:34The cold instantly froze my breath.
17:39She didn't even have time to shift into wolf form.
17:42She jumped to the water and grabbed my collar with her teeth.
17:45She dragged me to shore with pure strength.
17:49After we reached the bank, she was soaked through.
17:52Her wolf fur was frozen with ice.
17:54She shook so hard she could barely stand.
17:57I held her and cried.
17:59But she laughed and said,
18:01Silly little sister, watch where you step next time.
18:10Please, Mountain God, let me stay with Sophia and Damien forever.
18:15Live and die together.
18:17Never betray each other.
18:19Never betray each other.
18:19Ha, ha, ha, ha.
18:20Oh, my God.
18:50Oh, my God.
19:21She looks really suffering, but she still won't speak.
19:26Five years now, she'd rather let herself rot than tell us.
19:30Crocodile tears.
19:48He pointed at me, his knuckles white with rage.
19:51Years ago, little Aiden knelt at your cave door.
19:55His head was bloody from banging against the stone.
19:58Why didn't you open the door?
20:00Speak up!
20:02Why are you playing dumb now?
20:04No one answered.
20:06All eyes in the square turned towards me.
20:09From the entrance came the sound of small foot depths.
20:15Little Aiden stood there, barefoot.
20:18His eye sockets were sunken deep.
20:21His pupils looked empty and hollow.
20:25He murmured as if talking to ghosts.
20:29Mama, don't be afraid.
20:32Aiden will stay with you.
20:34His voice carried a sob.
20:37His small body trembled constantly.
20:40Suddenly, he lunged at the soul vision device.
20:43His tiny claws pressed against the screen.
20:46He screamed,
20:47Come out!
20:49Mommy, please come out!
20:54The wolves' eyes turned vicious.
20:58Their fury reignited like wildfire.
21:00She won't even save a child!
21:03This kind of lone wolf doesn't deserve to live!
21:07Damien rushed to me in one stride.
21:12He grabbed my shoulders and shook me violently.
21:16His wolf eyes were blood red.
21:18His teeth were clenched tight.
21:21Look!
21:22This is the price of protecting that bastard!
21:25When we found you,
21:26you were a wild dog about to freeze to death.
21:29It was you, Lena!
21:31You killed Sophia!
21:32He raised his hand.
21:34He slapped me hard across the face.
21:36The alpha's strength made my head snap to the side.
21:39My lips split open immediately.
21:42Blood poured out.
21:43But I did nothing.
21:44I just kept my eyes open.
21:48Tears mixed with blood flowed down my face.
21:53Sophia, I'm sorry.
21:57What good is sorry?
22:00He suddenly roared.
22:02But his voice cracked,
22:04like something had torn it apart.
22:09You know the truth, Lina.
22:11You've known it for five years.
22:14And every single day you chose to protect the monster who destroyed Sophia.
22:18His jaw tightened.
22:20If you just speak,
22:22say his name.
22:24Tell me who defiled our sister.
22:27I won't need the device.
22:30I won't need the device.
22:30I stared up at him.
22:31This boy who had once carried me through a blizzard,
22:35who had searched three mountains for an antidote when I stopped breathing.
22:42The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare.
22:46He was still wearing the same face.
22:48But the warmth behind it had frozen solid.
22:53I can't tell the truth.
22:55My silence told him my answer.
22:59Memory flashed back.
23:01Five years ago, in the cave, he froze.
23:03I was curled in the corner, holding Fenric in my arms.
23:06My head was bleeding.
23:07Damien burst in, carrying a wooden club.
23:09His eyes were red with rage.
23:10I looked up at him.
23:11My lips trembled.
23:12Damien, please trust me.
23:14I can't tell.
23:15Can't tell?
23:17Sophia is dead!
23:19And you're still protecting that bastard who defiled purebloods?
23:24I clung desperately to the hem of his cloak.
23:27My fingers turning white from how hard I gripped him.
23:30My voice was harcy, barely audible.
23:33Damien, just trust me once.
23:36I can't speak.
23:38I really can't.
23:40He roughly tore my hands away,
23:42yet instantly seized me by the shoulders and hauled me to my feet.
23:45Our faces were inches apart,
23:47and I could clearly see the agony and rage blazing in his bloodshot eyes.
23:52You are a traitor to Grell.
23:54I broke down in quiet sobs, my voice thick with despair.
23:59I'd rather you hate me than lose everything.
24:02Damien, I'm so sorry.
24:06The club came down.
24:08Bones made a dull sound.
24:15Blood flowed from my forehead into my eyes.
24:18Everything turned red.
24:21Before I fell unconscious,
24:23I still held Fenerick tightly.
24:26But back then, he couldn't see.
24:29He refused to see.
24:30My sleeve was torn, revealing a deep purple mark.
24:33It was the brand of betrayal blood contract.
24:36Only those who had truly sworn a blood oath would be marked with this soul-spearing curse,
24:39and the content of blood oaths could never be spoken aloud.
24:43Damien's hand was still shaking.
24:45That slap seemed to have shattered something inside him, too.
24:48Looking at me barely alive,
24:49a single tear suddenly slipped from his eye,
24:52but he immediately wiped it away.
24:53His wolf eyes frozen again, like black iron.
24:56He stared at me, word by word.
24:58Until I find that bastard who defiled pure bloods,
25:01I will block his.
25:03I will never stop.
25:04When I find him,
25:05you and him will go to hell together.
25:12But her body is too weak.
25:14If we extract more from her soul core,
25:17it might shatter and kill her.
25:26I'll see you next time.
25:56Continue.
26:08little aiden suddenly screamed stop torturing aunt leah she'll die he rushed forward his tiny
26:17butt crashed against the protective barrier but the pack members grabbed him and pulled him back

28:50the distance was too far
28:52even wolf night vision failed
28:54this is what she truly saw
28:58damien's entire body shook
29:01his breathing stopped
29:02impossible
29:04sofia's suicide note was very clear
29:07she knew who it was
29:10he whirled toward me
29:12his gaze was like a knife
29:13but when it touched my pale face
29:15doubt flickered for a moment
29:17that doubt was immediately crushed by cruelty
29:19you must be hiding memories
29:21you're blocking the soul vision device
29:23he growled
29:24he shoved the soul sace aside
29:26he lunged at the control panel
29:28his fingers slammed the deep extraction button
29:30today i will drag out the killer
29:33the soul vision device's power surged
29:35the metal needles completely penetrated the soul core
29:41agony exploded like thunder
29:43my vision went black
29:45i nearly fainted
29:46just as my consciousness was about to shatter
29:49the scene changed abruptly
29:51no longer black pine forest
29:54but grill villages memorial ceremony
29:57in the center of the snow
29:59a bonfire burned
30:04young damien knelt before the fire
30:07he wore black mourning clothes
30:10his expression was wooden
30:12my foster mother
30:14the former luna
30:15slowly held up a black wolfskin cloak
30:19on the back of the cloak
30:21clearly a tear
30:24silver trim glinted coldly in the firelight
30:29damien froze in place
30:33his pupils trembled
30:37what's happening
30:39why is the former alpha's soul return ceremony suddenly appearing
30:49i didn't tell this stuff
30:53what are you trying to do
30:59the werewolves around whispered among themselves
31:02their voices scraped across my eardrums like knives
31:05i remember
31:07the former alpha accidentally fell into the silver mine
31:10and died the day after sophia's suicide
31:12what does this memory have to do with lena
31:14an elderly gray wolf sneered coldly
31:17what else could it be
31:19lena hates that damien broke her head
31:22and drove her out of the wolf den back then
31:24now she's deliberately releasing this memory
31:27she just wants to make the alpha suffer
31:29how vicious
31:31someone immediately echoed
31:32she's settling old scores
31:34trying to destroy the alpha's dignity
31:35what does she think she is
31:37without bloodline her father was a thief who poached on clan territory
31:39her mother went mad and burned herself
31:41her whole family though dead
31:42she's a disaster who brings death to her relative
31:45damien's face was ashen
31:47his wolf eyes were crimson as if soaked in blood
31:50i leaned weakly against the metal chair
31:52and managed to lift my head to look at him
31:53at night yore
31:54my scenes felt as if it were being tightly squeezed
31:56had when you seen the darkness
31:58apart my lips
31:59but only coughed up a healthful blood
32:03you think showing me my father's funeral will break me
32:07that you can get revenge for what i did to you back then
32:10you're wrong
32:12it's impossible
32:13he pointed at the image in the firelight and hissed
32:17my father was the greatest alpha of grell
32:20he ruled over seven mountain territories
32:23he was revered by millions of clan members
32:28what are you
32:29his saliva splattered on my face
32:31your rogue wolf foster father was a thief
32:34your foster mother was a mad woman
32:38and you
32:39he grinned his teeth word by word
32:42you're just a lowly selfish lone wolf bastard
32:49i sat in the metal chair
32:52the curses lashed my body like whips
32:56my nails dug into my palms
32:59my lips were bitten bloody by my teeth
33:02blood dripped down my chin
33:06just as he finished roaring the last sentence
33:09the soul vision device screen flickered
33:11the image changed
33:13the wolf pack cried out in unison
33:16what is that
33:18that is
33:19isn't that the cloak worn by the killer who defiled sofia
33:22in the image
33:23the former luna stood before the bonfire
33:26in her hands she held a black cloak with silver trim
33:29the tear on the back was clearly visible
33:32damien below the platform seemed nailed in place
33:35his face was pale as snow
33:37his lips trembled
33:38he stepped back step by step
33:42young damien knelt beside her
33:44tears burst from his eyes
33:45mother
33:46his cloak is torn
33:48that was left from when father fought with rogue wolves last time
33:50luna trembled as she touched the silver trim
33:52her voice was broken
33:53your father said
33:54he would let me mend it when he returned
33:56but he could never come back
33:57little damien buried his face in the cloak
34:00he sobbed uncontrollably
34:02i promised before
34:03when i grew up i would give him the best wolf to cloak
34:06but he could never wear it again
34:08he wailed
34:09his body shook violently like a young beast with a torn heart
34:12finally
34:13with trembling hands
34:15he threw that cloak
34:17into the fire
34:19flames roared up
34:21they illuminated his wolf face
34:24covered with tears
34:26the soul magic gritted his teeth
34:28and called up comparison images
34:29the screen split in two
34:31left
34:31at the soul return ceremony
34:33the former alpha's cloak
34:34the tear on the back was l-shaped
34:36the edge was burned by silver
34:38left unique patterns
34:39right at the black pine forest crime scene
34:41the black shadows cloak
34:42the same tear
34:43the same silver burn
34:45this is impossible
34:47absolutely impossible
34:49he murmured
34:50his voice shook
34:52that cloak
34:54how could it be the same
34:55as the one worn by that bastard
34:56who defiled purebloods
34:58it's not
34:58it can't be the same one
35:06all werewolves gasped
35:09all werewolves gasped
35:10identical
35:10damien staggered backward
35:16no
35:18impossible
35:20how could father
35:21the platform below exploded
35:24the former alpha defiled sofia
35:26he personally said she wasn't his biological daughter
35:28he used his billy with victor for
35:30sofia knew the jest half right
35:31that's why she wrote the suicide note
35:33and killed the gene
35:34but she couldn't speak
35:34if she did it would be treason
35:36it blinks the dunder family
35:37little aiden suddenly cried heartbreakingly
35:39aunt lena
35:41this isn't true right
35:42grandfather wouldn't hurt mama
35:44he loved mama the most
35:46he rushed forward
35:47his small claws desperately grabbed my clothes
35:50his nails broke but he wouldn't let go
35:52damien's knees went weak
35:54he collapsed in the snow
35:55he held his head in his hands
35:58his voice was broken
36:01no
36:03impossible
36:05father wasn't like that
36:10just there
36:12the soul vision device
36:14flickered again
36:16five years ago
36:18blood moon night
36:21the former alpha
36:22stumbled back to the village
36:28he stumbled unsteadily
36:30his eyes bloodshot
36:32and his breathing
36:33ramped and frantic
36:34as if he had lost his way entirely
36:36hidden behind a tree
36:38i watched with a pounding heart
36:41he had clearly meant to head toward his quarters
36:44yet he suddenly turned
36:46and rushed
36:47straight towards sofia's place
36:53sofia
36:54my good daughter
36:56he reached out his claws
36:58and touched sofia's face
36:59his fingertips slid across her lips
37:01his voice was gentle
37:03but carried an eerie tremor
37:05do you know
37:07you're not my biological daughter
37:11so
37:13sofia's face in the memory went pale
37:15she stepped back in horror
37:17father what are you saying
37:18the former alpha's voice turned cold and predatory
37:22don't call me father
37:23you're just an orphan i picked up
37:27i raised you
37:28fed you
37:29gave you everything
37:30now it's time for you to repay me
37:37no
37:38sofia shook her head frantically
37:40but he grabbed her wrist roughly
37:44his claws dug into her skin
37:49the image stopped abruptly here
37:52but all the werewolves understood what happened next
37:56moon madness cross
37:59the village elder's voice trembled
38:01his fingertips shook as he pointed at the screen
38:04that's the effect of moon madness cross poisoning
38:08after taking it
38:10wolf nature increases rightfully
38:13completely losing all reason
38:15the former alpha was actually the killer
38:17who defiled purebloods
38:19the truth cut open their chests
38:21like a silver blade
38:22instantly igniting the entire venue
38:24the truth sliced through everyone's hearts
38:26like a silver blade
38:28instantly sending the entire square
38:30into an uproar
38:31for a few breathless moments
38:33the square fell dead silent
38:35then a roar of fury erupted like an avalanche
38:38five long years
38:40we cursed lena
38:41for five years
38:43while the real monster
38:44was laid to rest with honor
38:45and peace
38:46a she-wolf at the front stepped forward
38:49her claws bared sharply
38:51she bore all the guilt alone
38:53just to protect damien
38:54what a poor pitiful child
38:57angry voices rose one after another
38:59filled with grief and bitter resentment
39:05damien
39:05you put your own foster sister on trial
39:09you knew she was protecting you
39:11yet you treated her this way
39:13what a hypocrite
39:15i lay limp in the metal chair
39:16my vision blurred
39:17yet i could still hear every word around me
39:19a heavy tightness settled in my chest
39:22not from the searing pain of the silver needles in my head
39:24but from watching the crowd who once hated me
39:27now turn their anger entirely against him
39:29damien stood rooted to the spot in the snow
39:32his face as pale as bleached bone
39:35a young warrior wolf pointed straight at him
39:37you return as the mighty alpha spouting words of justice
39:41yet the great alpha is nothing but the spawn of a monster
39:44another voice shouted sharply
39:46amid the chaos
39:48long suspicious voices also cut through the crowd
39:50wait she stayed silent all these years just to keep her foster brother in power
39:54they're nothing but two of a kind
39:56she shielded the criminal
39:57she helped cover up his crimes from the very start
40:01aiden pressed his small body tightly against my leg
40:04trembling harder than ever
40:06he turned and shouted through tears at the crowd
40:09shut your mouth
40:10aunt lena is nothing like that
40:12she used to be such a kind person
40:16damien stared at me
40:17his eyes bloodshot
40:19his lips kept trembling
40:21yet no sound came out
40:23the proud powerful alpha
40:26who had once marched in ready to cast me into hell
40:28now stood shaking like a helpless young cub
40:34damien was like being struck by lightning
40:36he staggered back
40:38then suddenly turned and grabbed my shoulders
40:41shaking frantically
40:43impossible
40:44my father's grell's hero
40:46he taught me to protect purebloods
40:49how could he do such a thing
40:51his eyes were blood red
40:52veins bulged at his temple
40:55he lunged at the soul grey
41:01you altered the memories didn't you
41:03this isn't real
41:04turn it off
41:08the soul masian knelled on the ground trembling
41:11memories cannot be forged
41:14all wolf pupils have confirmed
41:16completely authentic
41:21damien roared
41:22he turned and smashed the soul vision device violently
41:24metal fragments scattered everywhere
41:26sparks cattled and exploded
41:28snowflakes fell from his silver armor
41:30his wolf ears drooped completely for the first time
41:32his usually dignified wolf eyes were now bloodshot
41:35filled only with terror and collapse
41:37he stumbled back to my side
41:39i was still collapsed in the metal chair
41:41barely breathing
41:45he stumbled back to my side
41:46i was still collapsed in the metal chair
41:49barely breathing
41:50he tremblingly removed the deformed helmet from my head
41:54his wolf claws scratched across my cheek
41:57leaving bloody marks
41:58lena wake up
42:00tell me this isn't true
42:02father isn't the killer
42:03you're lying to me right
42:04please say something
42:06i forced my eyes to flutter open a crack
42:09my throat burned and stung as if raw and scraped by silver
42:13blood subtly tickling from the corner of my lips
42:16seeing his broken hollow look
42:18a sharp ache twisted violently in my heart
42:21damien
42:23i'm so sorry
42:24i breathed in a faint whisper
42:25my voice so frail it was nearly swallowed by the wind
42:28i couldn't keep the secret
42:29i tried so hard
42:31but the device dragged everything out against my will
42:33i'm sorry
42:34i never wanted you to learn the truth like this
42:36my fingers twitched weakly on the armrest
42:39i longed to reach up and touch his face
42:41yet i did not even have the strength to lift my arm
42:43i'm sorry you had to witness all this
42:46climbed so high to claim the alpha throne
42:48only for it all to end like this
42:50you lost sophia
42:51and now you've lost your faith in father too
42:53i never wished to see you suffer so deeply
42:55my words pierced him like a blade
42:57he jolted violently
42:59his bloodshot eyes instantly glimmering with tears
43:02he dropped to his knees right there amid the snow and scattered metal shards
43:06trembling hands tightly grapping my shoulders
43:13just then slow heavy footsteps came from the square entrance
43:19former luna ella wearing a faded animal skin cloak
43:23walked step by step into the crowd
43:27damien
43:27her voice sounded like it had been soaked in snow water
43:32bone chillingly cold
43:34lena didn't lie
43:35those memories
43:37are all real
43:39the entire venue fell dead silent
43:41even the wind stopped
43:43damien's whole body froze
43:45a broken voice squeezed from his throat
43:47mother
43:48what are you saying
43:50ella didn't look at him
43:52she walked straight to me and slowly melt down
43:55pressing her forehead to the snow
43:58performing the highest ritual the wolfcram reserved for redeemers
44:02lina i'm sorry
44:04her voice was torn
44:06tears rolling down
44:08i forced you to keep this secret
44:11i made you bear the blame for five years
44:14i wept silently
44:16five years of loneliness
44:18injustice and nights of being cursed
44:20finally had a response at this moment
44:29back then your father accidentally ate moon and magnus grass and lost his mind
44:34completely
44:35ella choked
44:36each word like a knife
44:39he encountered Sophia in black pine forest looking for moonflowers
44:43the pure blood scent stimulated his beast nature
44:47he
44:50did something unforgivable
44:52i struggled to sit up in the torture chair
44:55my body racked with searing agony
44:57yet i forced my hoarse broken voice to speak
45:00mother
45:02please stop
45:03i beg you say no more
45:05i looked toward ella and shook my head gently
45:08my eyes filled with pleading
45:09damien was already on his knees
45:11trembling uncontrollably
45:12if she went into further detail
45:14it would be the final blow that shattered him completely
45:16he had only just learned his own father was the culprit
45:18he was in no state to bear those cruel harrowing details
45:21but ella fixed her gaze firmly on me
45:24her eyes were red-rimmed and weary
45:26yet her resolve was unstakely
45:28her gaze said it all
45:31he has to know the whole truth
45:33i slumped back weakly against the cold metal chair
45:38my fingers twitched faintly
45:40yet i had no strength left
45:42to stop her
45:47after Sophia's suicide
45:49your father went mad
45:50he held her white wolf fur all night trembling
45:53saying he had defiled the clan
45:55and had no face to see anyone
45:56ella looked up
45:58tears mixing with snow water
46:00then his death
46:03wasn't an accident
46:06damien's voice shook beyond recognition
46:08he jumped off the silver mine cliff himself
46:10a place full of silver sand
46:12he knew that was the most painful way to die
46:14he said
46:15he wanted to use the most painful death to atone to Sophia
46:17damien stood there stunned
46:19his body shaking violently
46:20mummering repeatedly
46:22father wasn't a hero
46:24father was the killer
46:25but each word was like a silver blade through his heart
46:29completely tearing him apart
46:31why didn't i know
46:33why did you lie to me
46:35because i wanted you to live
46:37you are the former alpha's son
46:38if the clan knew your father was the defiler
46:41you would be stripped of your identity
46:42and thrown into the gin mine pit to burn a life
46:45i could only hide it
46:46i could only ask lena to help me hide it
46:52living
46:54his voice was raw and shattered
46:57mother
46:59do you truly call this living
47:01his legs trembled as he slowly forced himself to his feet
47:04the blood seeping from where his claws had sunk into his thigh
47:07stained the snow beneath him crimson
47:09he first looked at me
47:10then turned his gaze to ella
47:12i hated leader for five long years
47:14for five years i let the clan spit insults at her
47:17pelster with stones
47:18and i was always one who forced her into this cold loneliness
47:21i was the one who forced her into this judgment chair
47:23even when her body was on the verge of breaking apart
47:26i still ordered the soul mage to dig deeper into her memories
47:29his voice cracked with grief
47:31and all this time
47:33she was protecting me
47:36protecting the son of the monster who destroyed sophia
47:38he took a step toward ella
47:40then abruptly halted
47:42as if he could not bear to draw any closer
47:45i never asked for this kind of protection
47:47never
47:48if keeping my alpha throne means lynn had to live like a stray trapped in a cave
47:52endure endless harm alone
47:54and linger under the shameful name of traitor
47:56while i stood proud and powerful as alpha outside
47:59then i want no part of the throne
48:00damien turned to face me
48:02tears eyes blood cast and filled with utter despair
48:04he dropped heavily to one knee before the judgment chair
48:07close enough that i could see every tremble shaking his shoulders
48:10if being alpha costs you everything and breaks you completely i would rather renounce my title
48:15i would rather bear our father's sins and burn in the silver mine pits than stand here
48:20knowing i have irreparably hurt the only sister i have left
48:24i tried to speak but only bitter metallic blood welled up in my throat
48:28my weak fingers stirred faintly on the armrest
48:32damien seized my hand at once
48:33clutching it tightly as if afraid i might vanish if he let go
48:39she saw the cloaks tear at the soul return ceremony and knew the truth
48:43i knelt before her begging her not to speak
48:45saying you only had me as family left couldn't lose everything
48:48she agreed so readily
48:50even though she herself would be beaten to death
48:52starved to death in the snowy mountains
48:54the wolves roared angrily
48:56you destroyed lina's life for your survival she was alone for five years living in a
49:02plague by illness benzel was killed whoever said a word for her
49:09aunt lina i'm sorry i hated the wrong person why didn't you tell me the truth
49:16damien collapsed in the snow tears falling like rain
49:20he finally understood the person he had hated for five years was the only one who had protected them
49:27damien suddenly scrambled up rushed to my side carefully lifted me from the chill
49:42i'm sorry lina i was wrong
49:47i shouldn't have doubted you shouldn't have let you suffer so much alone
49:55damien kept holding my hand tight his pinky hooked with mine like we were cubs again
50:04the square had gone completely silent
50:06no more shouting no more torches waving
50:08even the wind died down
50:09everyone just stood there watching the alpha who had come back to judge me
50:13now kneeling in the dirt like a broken wolf
50:15some of the older wolves lowered their heads
50:17a few she-wolves wiped their eyes
50:20aiden clung to my leg and wouldn't let go
50:22his small body shaking with quiet sobs
50:24ella stood a few steps away
50:26one hand pressed over her mouth
50:28tears falling steadily
50:30i felt my strength slipping away fast
50:32the soul core inside me had turned to dust
50:35every breath hurt more than the last
50:37my vision kept blurring going dark at the edges
50:39but i could still see damien's face clearly
50:41red eyes wet cheeks
50:43the silver armor now smeared with my blood in his arm
50:45i lay in the snow
50:47the corners of my mouth slowly curving up
50:51a bloody tear
50:53slid from the corner of my eye
50:55and hit the ice with an almost inaudible sound
51:01damien cried out my name
51:02his voice torn like a broken blade in the wind
51:05but i could barely hear him
51:07my ears were filled with the roar of rushing blood
51:09the world was ebbing away
51:11my consciousness sank back
51:13back to five years ago
51:14to that terrifyingly quiet afternoon
51:16our foster father knelt before sophia
51:18his claws digging desperately into the soil
51:20in his hands he clutched several crushed moonlight grasses
51:23his voice trembled
51:24papa didn't mean to
51:25please
51:26don't tell damien
51:28please
51:29sophia's whole body shook
51:30her pure white wolf fur stood on end with fear
51:33she covered her ears tightly
51:35tears mixed with blood from the corner of her mouth
51:38her screams nearly tore her throat
51:41don't come near me
51:42don't come near me
51:43then she turned
51:45and ran wildly
51:46like a young deer
51:47burnt by fire
52:01i hid behind that crooked pine tree
52:03my nails dug into my palms
52:05until they broke
52:06i felt no pain
52:08i saw it all
52:10my mind went blank
52:11i wanted to chase after her
52:13but my legs felt like lead
52:15i was afraid if i spoke
52:16she would become even more desperate
52:18i called to her
52:19sophia wait
52:20but she in that memory couldn't hear me
52:23the snowy forest blurred and stretched like a bad dream
52:26i ran after her white figure
52:27snow flying into my eyes
52:29but no matter how fast i pushed my legs
52:31the distance only grew
52:32sophia's back stayed far ahead
52:34her pure white fur flinkering in and out of the trees
52:37suddenly the scene shifted
52:39she was standing alone under a crooked pine
52:42head lowered
52:43shoulders shaking
52:45soft cries came from her throat
52:47blood dripped from between her legs
52:49onto the white snow
52:50sophia
52:52i'm here
52:53i saw everything
52:54come back
52:56she didn't turn
52:58the forest twisted again
53:03the scene changed once more
53:05sophia stood right in front of me
53:07close enough to touch
53:08but when i stretched my hand
53:10her body turned misty
53:11sophia
53:12don't
53:13she looked at me with tears
53:15in her eyes
53:16and whispered
53:17i'm sorry lena
53:18i grabbed at her arm
53:20but my fingers passed straight through
53:22she gave me one last sad smile
53:25then turned and ran again
53:26into the swirling snow
53:28how i wanted to tell her
53:30don't despair
53:32we're all here
53:33you are not alone
53:34if you knew i was always with you
53:36would you not want to die
53:38but nothing happened
53:40i couldn't save her
53:43that evening
53:44damien came running over
53:46his face still carried a smile
53:48his wolf tail wagged cheerfully
53:51he asked me
53:52lena
53:52where did sister go
53:54why hasn't she come back for dinner
53:55i looked into his clear wolf eyes
53:58free of any shadow
54:00my throat felt clamped by iron tongues
54:02i couldn't say a word
54:04i didn't want to hurt him
54:06but before i could figure out how to speak
54:09news of sophia's death arrived
54:14damien threw himself into my arms
54:16crying loudly
54:17why did she have to die
54:21why did she leave us behind
54:23i held him tightly
54:25tears kept flowing
54:26but i didn't dare speak
54:28i didn't dare say it was because of your father
54:31i didn't dare say the hero you worship your whole life
54:34personally destroyed the sister you loved most
54:37later i found ella
54:39i knelt before her trembling as i asked
54:43what should we do
54:44they all want to investigate the truth
54:47but i'm so afraid
54:52lena please
54:53don't say it
54:54if damien knows it was his father
54:57he'll go mad
54:58all of grell will collapse
55:01blood defile that no one can bear it
55:03please
55:03please
55:05i looked at her tearful face
55:09my heart felt like it was being torn apart by wolf fangs bit by bit
55:16but in the end
55:17i just trembled and nodded
55:20i promised her
55:21to bear this sin for her
55:23for damien
55:25but sophia left a suicide note before she died
55:28with my name on it
55:29lena saw his face
55:32the werewolf said i was an accomplice
55:35a traitor
55:35a conspire
55:36in defiling purebloods
55:38overnight i was exiled
55:40i became a lone wolf
55:42living in mountain caves
55:44surviving by mooring on bones
55:48no one knew
55:49my silence wasn't to live
55:51it was to let damien live
55:54after the truth was revealed
55:56damien knelt frantically before the entire clan
55:59crying and apologizing
56:00the wolf pack surrounded him
56:03punching and kicking
56:04calling him son of tainted blood
56:06he didn't dodge
56:08he let them beat him
56:09until he was dragged from the square
56:11but he struggled to crawl back
56:13he knelt beside me
56:15and roared at the soul mange
56:18save her
56:19trade my life if you have to
56:21but i couldn't hold on anymore
56:23my soul core crumbled to dust
56:25i had only minutes left to live
56:30he knelt before me
56:32crying and shaking his head

56:36you always did it for me
56:38didn't you
56:40he grabbed my hand
56:41his burning tears
56:43crashed onto the back of my hand
56:44like hot coals
56:46lina

56:48don't leave me
56:50i could hear him
56:51but i couldn't speak
56:52five years
56:53i lived alone in caves
56:54plagued by illness
56:55so hungry i gnawed on grass roots
56:57under the snow
56:57i endured being cursed
56:59by thousands
57:00stones thrown
57:01until my head bled
57:02i held on until now
57:03couldn't damien too
57:04sophia was gone
57:05i couldn't let him collapse too
57:07i was dying
57:08i was tired
57:09i didn't want to struggle anymore
57:11but he kept crying
57:13his earth shakering sobs
57:14made my heart feel restless
57:15with my last bit of strength
57:17i tremblingly raised my hand
57:19and extended my pinky finger
57:21the sign we use as children
57:23to promise siblings forever
57:24damien suddenly froze
57:26he immediately extended his pinky
57:28and gently hooked mine
57:29i'm here lina i'm here
57:31he sobbed
57:32his voice broken
57:34we're siblings
57:34siblings forever
57:36good siblings
57:37i said softly
57:39my voice was like snowflakes
57:41touching ground
57:41my hand slowly dropped
57:43my eyelashes closed
57:44my breathing returned to silence
57:46damien wiped his tears
57:47and lifted me
57:48step by step
57:49he walked toward the moon goddess statue
57:51he gently placed me
57:52before the stone seat
57:53with trembling hands
57:54as he arranged the withered moonlight grass crown
57:56around my ears
57:57he spoke to the statue
57:59in a low voice
57:59moon goddess
58:01the three of us are together again
58:02sophia
58:03lina didn't betrayed us
58:05we'll always stay with you
58:07wind swept snow past the statue
58:08from the distant black pine forest
58:10three cubs clear laughter
58:12seemed to echo
