00:25DRAVEN PAUSED
00:30DRAVEN PAUSED
01:00Hesitation, the poison had sent my wolf into a two-day sleep.
01:02I missed the first resonance of the moon goddess's mark.
01:04The pack called me a deceiver, and everything, my crown, my birthright, my life, was taken
01:08from me, until I died alone on the open plains.
01:10I stared at the glass, behind the folds of my sleeve, my nails pressed into my palm.
01:14Then I looked up and met his eyes.
01:16DRAVEN, the territorial inheritance covenant my parents left behind, and the blood relic
01:20of my maternal bloodline.
01:21They're still with you for safe caping, aren't you?
01:23With the easy certainty of someone who had never been questioned.
01:25Your parents were gone so young, and you and Ellie were so small, I was afraid you might
01:29lose them.
01:29Why do you ask?
01:32I'd like them back.
01:33I'm an adult now.
01:34I can't keep relying on my future alpha for everything.
01:36The ceremony is almost here.
01:38As the older sister, I should be the one managing the territory our parents left to Ellie and
01:41me.
01:41Those sharp werewolf eyes narrowed, moving over me slowly, reading.
01:44In my past life, after my parents died, I had made this man my entire world.
01:47I had handed him everything.
01:48My trust, my heart, every decision about the pack, the bloodline, the future without a
01:51second thought.
01:52I sold her.
01:52His voice dropped, roughened with something that performed hurt.
01:55You don't trust me anymore?
01:56Are you questioning the loyalty of your future alpha, or do you think I'd steal from the
01:59white wolf bloodline's legacy?
02:01I trust you, but because I'm going to be your Luna, I need to learn to stand on my own.
02:04I can't be someone who leans on her alpha for everything.
02:07Someone who can't even protect what her parents left her.
02:10Fine.
02:11Drink first, and I'll get your things.
02:13Don't wait too long.
02:14The moon goddess's blessing fades.
02:15Beneath the deep, heady cement of wine, I caught it, faint and carefully buried, the
02:19unmistakable trace of wolf pine.
02:20Then I let my hand turn.
02:22Crimson wine spread across my skirt.
02:23Oh, I...
02:24Arranging my face into alarm.
02:25I spilled it.
02:26The smile on Draven's face died.
02:27His eyes bled red.
02:28It's nothing.
02:29The words came out controlled.
02:30He drew a slow breath, forcing the darkness back down.
02:33I'll call for a servant to bring clean clothes.
02:34Don't bother.
02:35I'll change in my room.
02:36I turned and walked to the inner chamber, pulling the heavy wooden door shut behind
02:38me and throwing the bolt.
02:39When I came back out, he was waiting in the front room, a leather sackle in his hands,
02:43its surface carved with old wolf runes.
02:45He held it out, his voice flat.
02:46Everything you asked for.
02:47I kept those things safe for years.
02:48I didn't expect you'd be in such a rush to take them back.
02:50I popped the clasp.
02:51Inside, the covenant sat atop the white wolf relic.
02:53Its silver glow pulsing like a faint heartbeat.
02:55In my past life, he locked them away to gather dust until I died.
02:58People, grow up.
02:59Luna or not, I am the white wolf heir.
03:01The goddess blessing is mine.
03:02And this time, no one takes it.
03:05When I arrived the next morning, they were already there.
03:08Ellie, all in white, served him shyly.
03:11He watched her with a sickening softness and tapped her nose.
03:14They froze when they saw me.
03:16Ellie snatched her hand back, whimpering quietly.
03:19Darren recovered first, pulling out the chair beside him.
03:22I didn't acknowledge it.
03:26Before he could speak, a servant set the sacred elixir before me.
03:29Brewed under a blood moon, this rare potion purifies a wolf's power for the covenant ceremony.
03:33As the dense smell filled the hall, the goddess's ultimate blessing was finally within reach.
03:37Ellie's eyes moved to the cup.
03:38Something passed through them, quick and hungry.
03:40Before she looked away...
03:41Isileth, let Ellie have it.
03:43I had just lifted my cup, only to set it down again as I fixed my eyes on him.
03:47Ellie was born without a wolf.
03:49Her body has always been fragile.
03:51You're her sister.
03:52You wouldn't want her to suffer.
03:54You'll be fine without it.
03:56He reached across the table, fingers closing around the cup.
04:00Ellie's face lit with a flash of triumph.
04:02She couldn't quite suppress.
04:03Darren, this isn't right.
04:05The council prepared this for my sister's ceremony.
04:07What's wrong with it?
04:08Isileth has always given you everything.
04:10I brought my hand down.
04:13The sound cut through the dining hall like a blade.
04:15In the silence that followed, something shifted in Drayan's face.
04:18The warmth drained out of it entirely.
04:20The air in the room changed.
04:21That particular suffocating pressure that belonged only to an alpha rolling outward from him in a slow wave.
04:26The servants dropped to their knees.
04:28Ellie slumped forward onto the table, trembling uncontrollably.
04:30I looked at him and didn't move.
04:31The pressure pressed down on my shoulders like a physical weight.
04:33I let it.
04:34I held his gaze and kept my voice level.
04:35That bowl was sent by the High Council for the Future Luna's Covenant Ceremony.
04:38I let the words settle.
04:39Unless you're planning to change lunas.
04:41Something flickered in his eyes.
04:43Of course not.
04:44The pressure eased fractionally unwillingly.
04:46He opened his mouth to say something more.
04:48It's my fault.
04:50Sister, please don't be angry with Draven because of me.
04:53This is all my fault.
04:56She pushed back her chair and ran from the room.
04:59Draven was already on his feet.
05:00He paused at the doorway just long enough to look back at me.
05:03One long, cutting look.
05:05And then he was gone.
05:06I sat alone at the long table.
05:08The dining hall was quiet.
05:11Darren didn't come back all day.
05:12When he finally walked through the door at dusk, he looked exhausted.
05:15Where were you?
05:16Ellie was crying so hard.
05:17She had chest pains.
05:19I took her to see the healer.
05:20I see.
05:21Are you still angry about this morning?
05:22No.
05:23Ellie's health has never been good.
05:25You're her sister.
05:25You should be more patient with her.
05:27Darren.
05:28I looked at him.
05:29Do you have feelings for Ellie?
05:31Isoleth, what are you talking about?
05:32Then why do you treat her better than you treat me?
05:34That's not...
05:35You can't lie to me.
05:38Silence.
05:39It's not what you think.
05:40Ellie saved my life.
05:42I owe her a debt.
05:43She saved your life.
05:45When I was seven, a pack of planes beasts cornered me.
05:47She drew them away.
05:48At great cost to herself.
05:50Her health has never recovered.
05:52I watched his face.
05:53There was no trace of deception in it.
05:55So, I said,
05:56How do you plan to repay her?
05:58I'll find a way.
05:59I laughed.
05:59Somewhere deep inside where he couldn't see it.
06:01Your way.
06:02You're going to steal my life and hand it to her.
06:04Darvin.
06:05You cannot repay a life debt with someone else's life.
06:07What are you trying to say?
06:09Nothing.
06:09I'm tired.
06:10A life debt.
06:10What a convenient reason.
06:12You think you're being noble.
06:13You're just a thief who's too much of a coward to admit what he's doing.
06:16The next morning, I went to the council archives.
06:18In a yellowed incident file, I found a single report.
06:20Planes be sighted.
06:21Drawn away by a white wolf.
06:22The date, the location, the names, everything matched.
06:24Using my own wolf.
06:25I had been unconscious for over a month afterward.
06:28When I woke up, Draven and Ellie were already inseparable.
06:30I folded the report and put it away.
06:32I would use it when the moment was right.
06:34On my way home, I saw them together.
06:35Ellie's eyes red, crying, Draken murmuring something close to her ear.
06:39Isolat.
06:39I walked past without expression.
06:40Where did you go?
06:41The archives.
06:42Ellie saw me and immediately wiped her face.
06:45Isolat, don't misunderstand.
06:48Misunderstand what?
06:50Isolat.
06:51Ellie is suffering.
06:52She has no wolf.
06:53Do you have any idea what that feels like?
06:54Does that have to do with me?
06:55She's suffering, so the whole world is supposed to post a comfort her?
06:58Isolat!
06:58His voice sharpened.
06:59It was the first time he had used my full name like that.
07:02You used to care about Ellie more than anyone.
07:04What happened to you?
07:06I used to be a fool who believed everything I was told.
07:08Now I'm not.
07:09Does that bother you?
07:10His mouth opened.
07:11Nothing came out.
07:11It's all my fault!
07:12Ellie whispered.
07:13Her tears spilled over.
07:14She turned and ran.
07:15She was back the next day.
07:16She came through the door without knocking and threw herself in front of Draken, sobbing.
07:20The elders had decided, because she still hadn't awakened a wolf.
07:23She was to be relocated to the outer ring of the pack territory.
07:25Many like her lived there.
07:26Wolves born without a wolf.
07:28At the edges where the plains beasts roamed closest.
07:30What if the beasts come?
07:31I'm scared.
07:32Her voice broke.
07:33Her hands found Darren's and held on.
07:35Darren's expression cracked with something that looked almost like pain.
07:37And his eyes moved to my neck.
07:38To the necklace my parents had left me.
07:40The last vessel of the white wolf bloodline's power.
07:42The only remaining hope of restoring what our family had once been.
07:45I knew exactly what Ellie wanted the moment her eyes followed his.
07:47She had always been jealous of me.
07:49From the time we were children.
07:50Jealous of my gifts.
07:51Jealous of the moon goddess Mark.
07:52Jealous that our parents had placed their hopes there her the bloodline's future knee.
07:55Isileth.
07:56The pressure hit me like a wall.
07:58My body locked in place.
07:59Every muscle refusing to obey.
08:00He reached out and pulled the necklace from my throat.
08:02The chain snapped.
08:03A line of heat bloomed across my skin where it had caught.
08:06I had been going to tell him.
08:07I had been going to show him the report.
08:08Explain what Ellie had actually done that day.
08:10What I had done.
08:11Let him see the truth for himself.
08:12I didn't want to any of my eyes.
08:13Every moment of suffering I endured in my path.
08:15The slow world dying.
08:16The cold.
08:16I was going to make sure he understood what that felt like.
08:18Every last moment of it.
08:20Three days until the ceremony.
08:22I locked myself in room and went over my plans again and again.
08:24Turning each piece.
08:25Testing each move.
08:26At the same time Ellie's condition was getting worse.
08:28Darren knocked several times.
08:29I didn't answer.
08:31My door came off its hinges.
08:32Drain came through it like a storm.
08:34Ellie collapsed.
08:35Isolate.
08:35Give me the territorial covenant and the blood relic.
08:38Have you lost your mind?
08:39No.
08:40The necklace is too powerful for her.
08:41If she doesn't awaken her wolf it's gonna kill her.
08:43And what does that have to do with me?
08:45Isolate.
08:46He crossed the room in two steads and grabbed my wrist.
08:48I can't let her die.
08:49I owe her.
08:50I owe her.
08:50Then pay her back with something that's yours.
08:52I looked at his hand on my wrist.
08:54Don't touch what belongs to me.
08:55There's no time.
08:56The only way to save her is to use your covenant and your relic to mask the necklace's power.
08:59It's the only thing strong enough.
09:00And what happens to me?
09:01I met his eyes.
09:02Without the relic my wolf will start to fade.
09:04What am I supposed to do?
09:05You're stronger than she is.
09:07You'll survive.
09:07He let go of my wrist and started tearing the room apart.
09:09Drawers pulled open.
09:10Contents hitting the floor.
09:11He moved through the space like he owned it.
09:13Like everything in it was already his to take.
09:14I threw myself in front of him.
09:16He shoved me aside without breaking stride.
09:17The corner of the table caught my tim on the way down and the blood came on fast.
09:20Dripping onto the floorboards before I'd even run crossing his face.
09:23Then he kept moving.
09:24He found the leather sackle beneath the chest.
09:26He pulled out the covenant and the relic.
09:27Turned for the door.
09:28I got to my feet.
09:29Darren, if you walk out that door there is no coming back.
09:32Not for you.
09:32Not for Ellie.
09:33Do you understand me?
09:35Ellie needs me.
09:36I'll spend the rest of my life making this up to you.
09:38The door closed.
09:39I sank to the floor.
09:40Blood moved down the side of my face and found the corner of my eye and the world went red
09:44at the edges.
09:44I didn't cry.
09:45I had been waiting for this for a long time.
09:47A crime has to be completed before the council will act.
09:50He needed to put those things into her hands himself.
09:52Now he had.
09:53The howl that tore through the room came from somewhere that wasn't quite my throat.
09:56Not a sound, but a broadcast.
09:57The white wolf bloodline's mind link carrying outward in a wave that didn't stop at walls
10:00or distance.
10:01Every member of the pack received it at once.
10:03The image of Draven ransacking my room.
10:05His hands pulling the covenant and the relic from their hiding place.
10:08The blood on my face.
10:08The door closing.
10:09Everything exactly as it had happened.
10:11Delivered in the space of a single breath to every mind in the territory.
10:14By the time Draven pressed the relic into Ellie's hands, the council elders were already
10:17at the door.
10:19The three of us were brought before the council.
10:21Draken, Ellie, and me.
10:22Issa Leth.
10:22Draken saw my face and went still.
10:24Take out what you took from me.
10:25I looked at him.
10:26Every eye in the room moved to him.
10:28His hand pressed instinctively against his pocket.
10:30I don't know what you're talking about.
10:31Draven, think carefully.
10:33Stealing and concealing another pack member's personal property is a violation of pack law.
10:36Do you still want to be alpha?
10:38Stop pressuring him!
10:39Ellie's voice broke on a sob.
10:41He only did it to save me!
10:43I smiled.
10:44Ellie, I thought you were unconscious.
10:46I tilted my head.
10:47You've recovered quickly.
10:48Is it because you're afraid Draken won't finish job time before he can use the black magic
10:52to steal the moon goddess's blessing?
10:53Sister, I don't know what you're talking about.
10:55I held her gaze.
10:56My covenant and my relic can't awaken your wolf.
10:58You know that.
10:59You were never planning to use them for that.
11:00You wanted to use them to impersonate me.
11:02To take the moon goddess's blessing for yourself.
11:04Ellie's lips were trembling.
11:06How could you possibly know?
11:07The words escaped before she could stop them.
11:09Steal the moon goddess's blessing?
11:11That would bring catastrophe on the entire pack.
11:16Draen.
11:17Ellie.
11:17You will explain yourselves.
11:19Now.
11:21Draven looked at Ellie.
11:22Then at me.
11:23Then at the faces of the elders.
11:25One by one.
11:26A sound came out of him.
11:27Low and furious.
11:28The growl of a man who had decided that anger was easier than shame.
11:31I was trying to help her.
11:32His voice cracked.
11:33Ellie gave up her wolf trying to save my life.
11:35She suffered for years because of me.
11:37She deserves the moon goddess blessing.
11:38She's always deserved it more than-
11:39I laughed.
11:40It came out cold.
11:42What a debt.
11:43I looked at him.
11:44I have one question for you.
11:46Is my life yours to give away?
11:48Did anyone ask you?
11:49His mouth moved.
11:50Nothing came out.
11:51I stepped around him and stopped in front of Ellie.
11:53And you.
11:54You waited.
11:55You let him bring you stolen things and you held out your hands for them?
11:57So tell me.
11:58Did you actually save him?
11:59Ellie stumbled back, her voice falling apart.
12:01I- I don't- I didn't-
12:03You don't know?
12:04I dropped the report on the ground in front of her feet.
12:06That's the patrol record from the incident.
12:08It says exactly what happened.
12:09The plane's beasts were drawn away by a white wolf.
12:12I let the silence hold for a moment.
12:14Ellie.
12:15There is only one white wolf in a hundred miles.
12:17She looked at the document.
12:18Her legs gave out.
12:20Darren picked up the report.
12:21Read it.
12:22The color left of his face in stages.
12:24This is-
12:24A patrol report from over a decade ago.
12:26He kept staring at the page as though the words might rearrange themselves into something
12:30he could bear.
12:30He finally understood what he had done.
12:32But it was already too late.
12:34The midnight bell rang out across the territory.
12:37The ceremony had begun.
12:38Moonlight fell over Draven and me in equal measure.
12:41Silver and cold and patient.
12:43Neither of us moved.
12:44But the elders spoke from the edges of the circle.
12:46Their voices carefully measured.
12:47Isoled.
12:48The moon goddess's blessing has descended.
12:49If you refuse the bond.
12:50If the entire pack will lose the moon goddess's protection.
12:53Both you and Draen will suffer.
12:54Darren was on his knees before me.
12:56His eyes held the particular desperation of a man who had run out of options and knew it.
13:00Isoled.
13:00His voice came out broken.
13:01Please.
13:02I know I can't undo what happened.
13:03But I will spend every day that remains to me trying to make it right.
13:06Just say yes.
13:07We can still find our way back.
13:08I shook my head.
13:09Gently.
13:09For me everything has already happened.
13:11Every moment of it.
13:12I lived it once.
13:13I died at the end of it.
13:15I looked at him.
13:16You say Ellie deceived you.
13:17He said nothing.
13:18Darren.
13:19Ellie has no wolf.
13:20She never had one.
13:21How could you have believed.
13:22Truly believed.
13:23That she was the one who drew those beasts away.
13:24I let the question settle.
13:26You never looked at the patrol record.
13:27Not once in all those years.
13:29You didn't want to know.
13:30The blood was leaving his face.
13:31Admit it.
13:32You knew something was wrong.
13:33You chose not to look too closely because you liked being needed.
13:36You liked having someone to save.
13:37I held his gazing her.
13:38You were protecting the story you told yourself about who you are.
13:41And now the story is over.
13:42Whatever you had with her.
13:43Whatever you thought you had with me.
13:45He stared at me for a long time.
13:46Then his mouth pulled into something that wasn't quite a smile.
13:49Is that your answer?
13:49The moonlight against my skin was beginning to warm.
13:52A gentle insistent pressure.
13:53The moon goddess waiting.
13:54I closed my eyes.
13:55Yes.
13:55I opened them again.
13:56I reject the bond.
13:58I reject the role of Luna of this pack.
14:01The moment the words left me.
14:02The moonlight around Draken went out.
14:04The sound that came from him wasn't human.
14:06It was wolf.
14:07Crying out as the bond severed.
14:08A sound like something tearing at the root.
14:10He collapsed forward.
14:11Both hands hitting the ground.
14:13And coughed up a mouthful of blood that darkened the earth beneath him.
14:16The pack erupted.
14:17Voices everywhere.
14:19Bodies moving.
14:20The particular panic of people who have never seen the ground shift beneath them.
14:23And suddenly find that it can.
14:25Then someone screamed.
14:26She's glowing.
14:27I raised my hand and looked at it.
14:30The crescent mark on my brow.
14:31The one they had stripped from me.
14:33The one I had been born with.
14:34The one that was mine before anyone tried to take it.
14:37Was blazing.
14:38Silver light poured from it in waves.
14:40Bright enough to swallow the moonlight above us.
14:43Bright enough to cast shadows in every direction.
14:45A sacred awakening.
14:46I've read of it.
14:47In texts that are centuries old.
14:49I never thought.
14:50I never believed I would actually see.
14:51Alpha Queen.
14:52The light settled into me like something coming home.
14:54Not someone's mate.
14:55Not the second half of another person's story.
14:56My wolf was whole.
14:57From this moment I is the lead of the White Wolf of Wolf bloodline.
15:00Lived only for myself.
15:02The elders asked me to stay.
15:03More than once.
15:05I left anyway.
15:06My parents had left me a territory.
15:07A snow field a hundred miles out.
15:09The edge of the known world.
15:10I had a bloodline to restore.
15:11And a people to rebuild.
15:12It was time to go and do it.
15:13I was almost ready to leave when the letter arrived.
15:15I stood there for a moment.
15:16Dralin turning it over in my hands.
15:18Then I opened it.
15:19He didn't apologize.
15:20He didn't mention what had happened.
15:22The whole letter was about when when we were children.
15:24The two of us running through the sacred grove.
15:26And climbing trees to pick fruit for me.
15:27The particular quality of the light in that place in summer.
15:30That was a beautiful time.
15:32Nothing more.
15:33Then he wrote about the pack.
15:34Without me.
15:35Without the moon goddess's protection.
15:36The wolves were weakening.
15:37Their strength fading in ways that were becoming impossible to ignore.
15:40The others blamed him.
15:41Some of the younger wolves were already talking about how to remove him.
15:44His health was getting worse.
15:45But he wrote that he was glad.
15:46Glad that I didn't have to go through what he was going through.
15:49He said he hoped I was well.
15:50He said he thought about me every day.
15:51I finished reading.
15:52Then I tore the letter into pieces and dropped them in a bin by the road.
15:55Those years of happiness had been real.
15:56But he destroyed them himself.
15:58Reading about them now only made me feel sick.
15:59I thought that would be the end of it.
16:01It wasn't.
16:02After that, a letter arrived every week.
16:04Without fail.
16:05He seemed to have decided that writing to me was an outlet.
16:07He put everything into those letters.
16:09All of it.
16:09Whatever was in his head.
16:10But I had no patience left for his confession.
16:12I stopped opening them.
16:14The moment I recognized his handwriting, the envelopes and pack went straight in the bin.
16:17Who's that persistent?
16:18Someone's determined.
16:20No one.
16:20No one that concerns me.
16:22By the third year on the snowfield, conditions were still harsh.
16:25But the packs were finding their way to us.
16:27Wolves without territory.
16:28Without a one-by-one they stayed.
16:29I ran everything.
16:30Disputes.
16:30Patrols.
16:30Policy.
16:31Most nights I was still working past midnight.
16:33I was leading a patrol when I saw the familiar figure.
16:35Darren.
16:35He had lost a great deal of weight.
16:36The restless energy I remembered was gone.
16:38He moved quietly now.
16:39And he kept his distance.
16:40When he saw me, something lit briefly in his eyes.
16:42Isolette.
16:43What are you doing here?
16:44I left the pack.
16:46Why?
16:46He looked at me.
16:47I wanted to see you.
16:48I wanted to be closer to you.
16:49You've seen me.
16:50You can go somewhere else now.
16:52He went still.
16:52His hands didn't seem to know where to be.
16:54I'm no not here to ask for forgiveness.
16:55I just, I wanted to know if you were alright.
16:57I'm fine.
16:58I glanced down at the alpha insignia on my chest.
17:00My life didn't really begin.
17:01The light in his eyes went out.
17:02I know.
17:03He looked at the ground.
17:04I've heard.
17:05You've built something remarkable here.
17:07This is the life you were always meant to have.
17:09Is that why you came?
17:10To remind me that this was always mine.
17:12And you nearly took it?
17:13His head came up sharply.
17:15His eyes were red at the edges.
17:17That's not...
17:19I didn't mean it like that.
17:20Then what did you mean?
17:20Did you think that if you stood here looking like this,
17:22I would soften that I would forget what you did?
17:24You didn't wrong me.
17:25You wronged the girl who used to follow you everywhere
17:26and thought you were her whole world.
17:28But that girl died the moment you decided to take her future.
17:30You killed her yourself.
17:32What you're looking at now is Alpha Isolette.
17:34A stranger who has nothing to do with you.
17:36I stepped around him and walked back to the pack.
17:39Behind me, I heard him try to hold it in and fail.
17:41I didn't turn around.
17:42After that day, the letters stopped.
17:44But he didn't leave.
17:44He stayed somewhere nearby.
17:46Close to our territory.
17:46Not inside it.
17:47He didn't talk about the past.
17:48He just worked.
17:49Quietly.
17:49In whatever way he could find to be useful.
17:51When I stayed late, there would be a hot meal on my desk when I looked up.
17:54When I caught a cold, a box of medicine appeared outside my door.
17:58I knew it was him.
18:00So did everyone else in my pack.
18:01Darren's courting you.
18:02He's not doing it for me.
18:03He's doing it to feel better about himself.
18:05A package arrived for him one afternoon.
18:07Ellie's name was on the return address.
18:09I called him in and handed it over without a word.
18:11Isolette, Sheena.
18:11I don't need to know.
18:12Just talk to me.
18:13Five minutes.
18:13I waited.
18:15I was a fool.
18:16His voice had gone rough.
18:17I believed that lie for over a decade.
18:19I thought I owed her my life.
18:20I thought I was doing the right thing.
18:22So you decided that gave you the right to pay that debt with mine.
18:24He had no answer for that.
18:26You never thought about me.
18:27Not once.
18:28Everything you called loyalty.
18:29Everything you called honor.
18:31It was just a way to make yourself feel like a good person.
18:33You were a coward.
18:34His face had gone the color of ash.
18:36He swayed slightly.
18:37Yes, I was.
18:39The bitterness in his smile didn't reach his eyes.
18:41I destroyed you.
18:41And I destroyed myself.
18:43My wolf is gone.
18:44I can't lead a pack.
18:44I can't do anything.
18:45I have nothing.
18:46And Ellie?
18:46He was quiet for a moment.
18:48She was being mistreated back in the pack.
18:49There were a few times I thought she might not survive it.
18:51I brought her with me when I left.
18:52But you're alone now.
18:54The journey was hard.
18:55She couldn't take it.
18:55We fought.
18:56And she left.
18:57I don't know which pack she went to.
18:58That's the consequence of what you both chose.
19:00It has nothing to do with me.
19:02I know.
19:02He looked at me.
19:03His eyes were full of broken blood vessels.
19:04The evidence of too many sleepless nights.
19:06Isoleth.
19:07I'm not here to ask you to take me back.
19:09I just want to see you.
19:11I want to know you're alright.
19:12That's enough for me.
19:13I don't need you watching over me.
19:14I pulled my arm free.
19:16Stop performing your guilt, Darren.
19:17It doesn't change anything and it doesn't impress me.
19:20I walked out.
19:21My pack takes in every wolf who has nowhere else to go.
19:25But not him.
19:26It will never be him.
19:27I don't know.
19:28I love this.
