00:07My father's eyes blazed with a terrifying golden light as he barked the command.
00:13The Alpha Command crushed down on my knees, driving me hard into the mud.
00:18My mother gazed down at me.
00:21Selina is an Omega.
00:22If her wolf enters Silvermoon prison, the Silver will torture her to death.
00:27Lyra, you're the older sister. You go.
00:32My adopted younger sister, an Omega, drove drunk and killed a human.
00:37Yet my parents wanted me to take the fall.
00:41You killed a human. You must go to prison.
00:45My biological father pinned every ounce of guilt onto me.
00:50I couldn't hold back the tears.
00:52No, I won't. I didn't kill anyone.
00:57Why should I go to prison? I'm your real daughter.
01:00My father's fury erupted.
01:02You don't have a choice!
01:08The pure silver shackles locked tight around my wrists.
01:12My skin sizzled and burned where the metal touched it, searing pain drilling straight into the bones.
01:21Desperately, I looked Kaelin.
01:23He was the strongest Alpha in the pack.
01:25The top-ranked dominant and my fated mate.
01:29He only stared down at me with a cold gaze.
01:37Lyra, go.
01:38When you come out, we'll complete the mate bond.
01:41He reached out and stroked my face.
01:43These seven years, just bear it.
01:47Just this once.
01:51I collapsed into despair, screaming.
01:54No!
02:04Seven years later.
02:06Lyra, now that you're leaving Silvermoon Prison, keep your wolf under control.
02:10Don't look back.
02:15Dragging my ruined leg, I limped out through the iron gate.
02:19A car was waiting just beyond the territory boundary.
02:23The window rolled down, and Kaelin's face emerged.
02:28Lyra.
02:29Seven years, and he hadn't changed at all.
02:33I dragged my crippled leg into the car.
02:37In the rear-view mirror, I saw my face.
02:40A map of scars seared into the skin by silver.
02:44You've suffered these seven years.
02:45I'll keep my promise.
02:47At the next full moon, I'll mark you formally.
02:51You'll become my Luna.
02:53Kaelin reached over and laid his hand over my rough, scarred knuckles.
02:57I looked into his gold-green eyes and slowly pulled my hand away.
03:04The wolf inside me couldn't even summon a whimper.
03:09Seven years in Silvermoon Prison had shown me exactly who Kaelin was.
03:17Who my family was.
03:19You don't have a choice!
03:22They had never loved me.
03:25And I no longer had any desire to be his mate.
03:29Sensing my indifference, Kaelin grew irritated.
03:32Selina knew you were coming back today.
03:34Her stress disorder flared up again.
03:36Your whole family is at the Territory Hospital, soothing her.
03:40I closed my eyes.
03:42The SUV drove into the heart of the Crescent Moon Packs territory.
03:47An hour later, we arrived at my home.
03:50Only a Beta housekeeper and a few Omega servants were in the main house.
03:53They caught the inferior scent clinging to me.
03:56And didn't bother to hide their disgust.
03:59The Beta housekeeper offered Kaelin a respectful salute before finally turning to me.
04:05Miss Lyra, the Luna says that now you're back, you're to stay inside your own scent circle.
04:10Don't wander around.
04:11Don't bring shame to the pack.
04:13Shame.
04:13I'd endured seven years of Silver burning my flesh in Selina's place.
04:18And somehow I was the shame?
04:21But I'd stopped expecting anything from them seven years ago, on that night of thunder and rain.
04:27Understood.
04:29I turned toward the side door.
04:32Kaelin received a mind link.
04:33His pupils snapped vertically.
04:35Lyra, Selina's vital signs are weak.
04:37She needs me.
04:38I'll go check on her.
04:39Get some rest.
04:42With that, he turned and disappeared into the room.
04:50Tonight later, I went back to my assigned space.
04:53A storage closet.
04:55And curled up on the narrow wooden cot.
05:00Late at night, drifting between sleep and waking, I heard Chloe, the Beta's younger sister, speaking downstairs.
05:08Alpha father, Luna mother, Selina's mental state is terrible.
05:12Why don't we move Lyra out of the main house?
05:14Otherwise, Selina will have an episode every time she catches Lyra's scent.
05:17My father sighed, but said nothing.
05:19My mother said,
05:22She carries our blood.
05:24If we throw her out the moment she's released from prison, what will the other packs say?
05:28Then what do we do?
05:30Chloe paced anxiously.
05:35My father spoke.
05:37When Selina comes back, order Lyra to suppress all her scent signatures.
05:42She's forbidden from appearing in front of Selina.
05:44She's not allowed to take a single step out of her room.
05:47My eyes were closed, but a searing acidic burn spread deep in their sockets.
05:53Just then, my specialized communicator vibrated.
05:57An encrypted email.
05:58Ms. Lyra, congratulations.
06:01You have passed the assessment for the Institute of Paranormal Confidential Research.
06:06Upon acceptance of the contract, you will depart for the sacred grounds of Domica Island under a new identity on
06:12the night of the full moon, seven days from now.
06:15Your PAC identity will be permanently erased.
06:18No contact with the outside world for five years.
06:22Without a flicker of hesitation, I signed my name.
06:25Lyra.
06:26I had passed the Institute's assessment seven years ago, right before I was thrown into prison instead of joining.
06:32As my release approached, I'd applied again.
06:34I'd passed again, without surprise.
06:37Seven days.
06:39I only had to endure seven more days.
06:42Then I would sever the PAC bond completely and leave forever.
06:48The next morning, I walked into the living room.
06:51A thick, clying sweetness hit me.
06:53Omega scent, heavy and dense.
06:56Selena was back.
06:58She sat at the center of the sofa in a pure white dress.
07:01Everyone crowded around her.
07:03The beta housekeeper brought out a cake.
07:05The family spoke and practiced unison.
07:09Happy birthday, Selena.
07:12Selena smiled and thanked everyone, lifting her chin.
07:15I just left the hospital.
07:17Do you have anything special for me?
07:19My parents and sister stepped forward one by one, offering expensive treasures.
07:25Kalen was about to present his gift, when he caught sight of me standing in the shadows.
07:30Lyra, you're awake.
07:32Come, celebrate Selene's birthday with us.
07:35Selena turned to me.
07:38Sister, I'm sorry.
07:39My stress disorder flared up yesterday.
07:42I couldn't go pick you up.
07:43You're not angry, are you?
07:45Before I could open my mouth, Kalen answered for me.
07:49Lyra isn't that petty.
07:51She won't hold it against you.
07:53Selena took that as permission.
07:55Boldly, she looped her arm throughs and looked straight at me.
07:59Sister, give me a gift too.
08:02I want Kalen as my mate.
08:05Mate-stealing was taboo among the wolves.
08:08Yet she declared it openly, and not a single wolf in the room spoke a word against it.
08:13Rage boiled in my blood.
08:15I clenched my fists.
08:17And if I refuse?
08:22Selena's expression stiffened.
08:24She switched to the old wolf tongue, reserved for pure-blood aristocrats.
08:29I was only joking.
08:30I didn't expect my sister's wolf to be so savage.
08:32My Luna mother responded in the same old tongue, her tone soothing.
08:37Don't be afraid, Selena.
08:38Lyra has been wandering outside too long.
08:40Her bloodline is degraded.
08:41My Atva father released a calming pinewood scent.
08:44Blood ties don't matter.
08:45Your mother and I only recognize you as our daughter.
08:48Right, Selena.
08:49You're my only sister.
08:50I forced the bitterness down and pretended I couldn't understand a word of the old tongue.
08:54I turned to Kaelin.
08:56What are they saying?
08:57Kaelin's throat bobbed.
08:59Selena said it was just a joke.
09:01Everyone's telling you not to be so sensitive.
09:03The air reeked of lies.
09:05They had no idea.
09:07I understood every single word.
09:09My mother came from a noble, pure-blood line.
09:13My father ruled over this entire territory.
09:16From the moment they brought me back from the orphanage, they despised me for carrying too much of the stray's
09:22wildness.
09:23Every resource, every drop of love, they'd poured it all into its Selena.
09:27Ten years ago, Selena awakened a rare healing-type omega gift.
09:34The entire pack howled at the moon in ecstasy.
09:38What they didn't know was that I'd already passed the blood moon trial by then.
09:43And had taught myself the most obscure dialect of the old wolf tongue.
09:48But none of that mattered anymore.
09:50Soon, very soon, I would escape this territory for good.
09:54I just got out of Silvermoon prison.
09:55I want to go beyond the territory boundary.
09:57Get some air.
09:58You all carry on.
10:00Under their contemptuous stares, I dragged my ruined leg towards the door.
10:04Their mockery trailed behind me.
10:08Today was my birthday, too.
10:14Beyond the territory, I suppressed my wolf's scent signature and took a bus to the lower district of Seattle.
10:20Because of my Silvermoon prison record, the pack had erased all my files.
10:24Combined with my crippled leg, the only work I could find was washing dishes in a run-down roadside diner.
10:29Just enough to survive the next ten days.
10:32At half-past eleven at night, I finished scrubbing the last plate.
10:35As I stepped out of the diner, a man climbed out of his car and strode toward me.
10:43Lyra, why have you been away from the territory so long?
10:46He grabbed my wrist and pulled me toward the vehicle.
10:48Until the door opened, on the back seat sat a cake.
10:52Lyra, happy birthday.
10:55Kaylin's pack and mine shared a tight border.
10:58He and I, the top-ranked Alpha and I, had been bound by a mate contract since we were pups.
11:06I still remembered the first moment I saw him after returning to the territory.
11:11He stood in the sunlight, radiating brilliance.
11:14In that hostile territory, Kaylin was the only one who never scorned my wild scent.
11:21He would release his Alpha dominance to shield me.
11:25He brought me gifts on holidays.
11:27He was the only soul in that entire forest who was good to me.
11:32And in the end, he was the one who personally sent me to Silvermoon Prison.
11:40Lyra? What's wrong? Did you think I forgot your birthday?
11:43Kaylin's voice pulled me back. I answered evenly.
11:47He produced another box.
11:49I lifted the lid.
11:51Inside lay a red dress.
11:53Remember when you were little?
11:55You said you wanted to wear a red dress when we completed the mate bond.
11:58I had it made in advance.
12:00Do you like it?
12:05Alpha, you're remembering wrong.
12:07I hate red.
12:08When I was lost as a child, I'd been wearing a red dress.
12:12Ever since I could form memories, every full moon night, I put on red, hoping my pack could track my
12:18visual scent and bring me home.
12:20Kaylin's pupils contracted.
12:21He ruffled my hair.
12:25I'm sorry.
12:26I remembered wrong.
12:28Come on, I'll take you to a restaurant to celebrate.
12:31On the drive back, Kaylin gripped my hand tightly.
12:36Lyra, why is your scent so faint?
12:40Why are you thinner than you were seven years ago?
12:42And your leg...
12:43Before he could finish, the phone rang.
12:46The screen flashed a single word.
12:48Selina.
12:52Kaylin answered.
12:53His voice dropped into a frantic grail.
12:56Turn around!
12:56Back to the territory!
13:01The whole way, he soothed Selina through the communicator.
13:04By the time we burst back into the main house, I looked up.
13:08Selina stood on the roof's edge of the villa, still in her white dress.
13:12She looked at us.
13:14Sister's back.
13:16It's time for a defective Omega like me to step aside.
13:20Goodbye.
13:21Without another word, she jumped.
13:23The drop from roof to ground was maybe ten meters.
13:26But when Selina fell, every single one of my family lunged forward on pure instinct.
13:32That night, ambulance sirens wailed over the territory.
13:38They all went to the hospital.
13:39I went back to my storage closet, collapsed onto the hard plank bed,
13:43and checked my communicator.
13:4612.20 AM.
13:47The top-ranked Alpha had broken his promise.
13:50He hadn't stayed to celebrate my birthday.
13:53But my wolf didn't howl in pain.
13:55All I felt was a vast, barren emptiness.
13:59I closed my eyes and sank into sleep.
14:02The next five days, I worked at the diner.
14:04My family stayed at the hospital, rapping at Selina in thick layers of protective scent.
14:11Not one of them set foot back in the territory.
14:15Until that day.
14:16The restaurant TV broadcast the news.
14:19Alpha Kaelin and Selina of the Crescent Moon Pack announced their binding ceremony.
14:24My pupils snapped into vertical slits.
14:28That night, I pushed open the wooden door and walked back into the territory.
14:33They were all there.
14:35At Kaelin's scent, saturated the living room.
14:38My Luna mother caught the smell of Earth on me and opened her mouth to scold me.
14:43My Alpha father silenced her with a look.
14:46Lyra, you're finally back.
14:49Selina's Omega depression is getting worse.
14:51So we've already made the decision for you.
14:54We're transferring your mate bond to Selina.
14:57You have no objections, I trust?
14:59They'd already used their authority to sever my bond.
15:03Now they stood there asking for my opinion as if it meant something.
15:08Alpha, you agreed to this too?
15:14Kaelin crossed the room in a few strides and seized my cold hand.
15:17Selim's only obsession right now is completing the binding ceremony with me.
15:21Don't worry, little wolf.
15:22I won't betray you.
15:24I'm just playing along, going through the motions.
15:27He was about to mark another she-wolf and he expected me to believe he wouldn't betray me?
15:31I wrenched my hand from his grip.
15:34Fine.
15:36Do whatever you want.
15:39Something tightened in At Kaelin's chest.
15:42He reached for me again.
15:45Out Selina suddenly released a dense wave of sorrowful pheromones.
15:52Sister, if you're not willing, then forget it.
15:55Through her sobs, she dug her nails into the back of her own hand.
15:59Chloe rushed to stop the self-harm, then spun around and bared her fangs at me with a snarl.
16:05Lyra!
16:06Can't you smell how sick she is?
16:09Do you need the whole family to kneel before you before you'll give in?
16:14My blood sister.
16:18Brainwashed completely by this twisted pack.
16:24Her roar dragged me back to the early days after I'd returned to the territory.
16:28At first, they forced me to give Selina the best den.
16:32Then, seven years ago, Selina broke the iron law.
16:35The memories ignited my rage past the breaking point.
16:38I met at Chloe's hostile glares and let out a cold laugh.
16:42Fine.
16:43If all of you kneel and submit to me, I'll agree to hand over my mate bond to Selina.
16:48The living room fell silent.
16:50None of them had expected such rebellion from me.
16:53I retreated to my cramped den.
16:56Late at night, my communicator buzzed.
16:58Kaelin.
16:59Lyra, Selina once saved my life.
17:02She gave me her kidney.
17:03The primal vitality of her wolf.
17:05That's why I have to complete this binding ceremony with her.
17:09Alpha, when you were gravely wounded, it was me who saved you.
17:13I'm the one who gave you my kidney.
17:16Silence on the other end.
17:18Then, Kaelin's cold laugh.
17:20Lyra, since when did you learn to lie?
17:22Selina was the one who saved me.
17:24Your own parents can swear it on the pack's name.
17:26You've disappointed me deeply.
17:27I lay on the freezing count, unable to speak.
17:30Eight years ago, Kaelin was ambushed and critically injured.
17:34I didn't hesitate.
17:35I went through the matching.
17:37I cut away a piece of myself and gave it to him.
17:39Now my sacrifice had been stolen by that Omega, and I wasn't even allowed to prove it was mine.
17:45After a long silence, I whispered,
17:47If you don't believe me, forget it.
17:49I'd already decided to abandon you completely anyway.
17:52I cut the connection, closed my eyes, slept.
17:58The second to last day.
18:00After my final shift, I stepped out of the diner.
18:03That familiar car was parked outside the shopping center.
18:07Above Shiban Commercial Street, fireworks suddenly burst across the sky.
18:11Alpha Kaelin loves Lyra forever.
18:13I tilted my head back, staring at the night sky, lost for a long moment.
18:20Kaelin trod toward me, his voice low and soft.
18:23Yesterday was my fault.
18:24But you have to believe me.
18:26The one I truly love is you, so you don't have to lie.
18:31How did he do it?
18:33How did he join forces with my family again and again, tear into me while pinning to the ground,
18:39and still say he loved me with a straight face?
18:42He pinched my hollow cheek.
18:44You really are too thin.
18:46Why aren't you eating properly?
18:47I snapped my gaze up.
18:49I spent seven years surviving Silvermoon Prison, a place saturated with silver.
18:54My wolf fought just to stay alive.
18:57Did you think I'd have the luxury of growing a full, healthy coat?
19:01A violent shover ran through Kaelin's massive frame.
19:05Maybe, just in that second, it hit him.
19:07He was the one who had personally sent me into that hell.
19:10He opened his mouth to speak.
19:12The car door swung open.
19:13Selina's voice drifted out.
19:15Alpha Kaelin, sister, don't stand out there.
19:19The cold wind will damage your wolves.
19:23The last trace of warmth inside me died.
19:26Kaelin explained.
19:28Selina followed our scent to come see you.
19:30She says she wants to thank you for your generosity, for being willing to step aside.
19:35He bundled me into the car.
19:37In the enclosed space, Selina's gaze fell on my grease-stained, thread-baked uniform.
19:43Sister, don't mother and father have the stewards send you supplies every month?
19:48Why are you still doing menial labor in a human diner?
19:52It damages the pack's dignity.
19:54She slipped a gemstone bracelet off her wrist and held it out to me.
20:00If you're short on survival resources, this bracelet is worth $3 million.
20:06It should buy you a few good meals.
20:12A random toy thrust to an Omega was worth $3 million.
20:16I still remembered when I'd first returned to the territory and wanted to attend a human high school.
20:20The tuition was only $3,000.
20:22I begged my Luna mother.
20:24Lyra, do I owe you something?
20:26I gave you life.
20:28You should be grateful.
20:30Why are you always so ungrateful?
20:31After that, I never asked this territory for a single scrap of meat again.
20:36The so-called steward supplies were nothing but a lie.
20:39They tilted their hearts to the extreme long ago.
20:42Look at your glossy, perfect coat.
20:44Now look at me, covered in scars.
20:46I smacked the Offerford bracelet away.
20:50Reign in your Omega pheromones.
20:52Stop putting on an act in front of me.
20:54I'm not that naive 15-year-old pup anymore.
20:57At 15, I'd yearned desperately for a pack bond with At Selina.
21:02She framed me instead.
21:03Every cruel thing she did, she pinned on me.
21:06By the time I realized what was happening, the entire pack had branded me an outsider.
21:11My rebuke sent tears rolling down Selina's cheeks.
21:14The air filled with a heartbreaking, pleading scent.
21:18The moment At Kaelin smelled it, he pulled Selina under the shelter of his chest and snared at me.
21:24Lyra!
21:25Selina meant well.
21:26It's fine if you don't want the bracelet.
21:28There's no need to say something so vicious.
21:30Right.
21:31This was the male who claimed he loved me from the deepest part of his soul.
21:36The moment there was any friction between At Selina, he always took her side.
21:40Every single time.
21:42Alpha, if someone throws a piece of rotting meat at a starving wolf as charity,
21:46must the wolf swallow it and wag its bay in gratitude?
21:48Even crushed beneath your feet, my wolf has pride worth dying for.
21:53Kaelin was struck silence.
21:56Beside him, Selina's breathing suddenly grew rapid and shallow.
21:59She let out a fragile whimmer.
22:02I'm sorry.
22:03It's my fault.
22:04Don't blame sister.
22:06Kaelin barked at the driver.
22:08Quick!
22:08Turn around.
22:09Get to the territory hospital.
22:11Lyra, your wolf showed too much savagery just now.
22:14You can walk back on your own.
22:16The car door shut in my face.
22:19I was left discarded on the freezing street.
22:22I watched the taillights vanish, and my heart felt nothing.
22:25No pain of being abandoned by my mate.
22:27Nothing at all.
22:30I dragged my ruined leg back to the territory main house.
22:34The villa was unusually lively.
22:37My Luna mother laughed.
22:41The night after tomorrow's full moon, Selina's binding ceremony.
22:45I looked at them.
22:46Sorrow welled up from deep inside me.
22:49They had truly given every scrap of love to that Omega.
22:52Tomorrow night at 9 o'clock, the extraction vehicle would arrive.
22:56After that, I'd have no need for any blood plines ever again.
22:59The night after tomorrow was Selina and Kaelin's binding day.
23:02Chloe threw them a wild pre-celebration party.
23:04The next morning, since my storage closet had no water source, I had to drag my leg out to wash
23:10up.
23:10Passing the living room, I saw the young wolves playing a game.
23:14Selina and Kaelin sat in the center of it all.
23:17Alpha, you lost! Truth or dare?
23:19Kaelin leaned back lazily.
23:21Dare.
23:22Kiss Selina in front of everyone one full minute!
23:25The young Alpha suddenly caught sight of me at the edge of the room.
23:29His grin widened.
23:31How about this?
23:31Pick any she-wolf in this room and kiss her for one minute.
23:34Lyra!
23:35Weren't you the one who was most obsessed with the Alpha?
23:38He's about to mark someone else.
23:41Why not share one last kiss with him?
23:43One last desperate memory to cling to?
23:46Kaelin stood up.
23:47Step by step, he walked toward me.
23:49Kaelin.
23:50There are too many people here.
23:52I'm about to make Selina my Luna.
23:54I can't humiliate her.
23:55You understand, don't you?
23:57I made a quiet sound of assent and turned toward the washroom.
24:00Behind me, I heard the wet sounds of Kaelin and Selina's mouths meeting.
24:04And the wolves excited howls.
24:06In this game where I was always the option to be discarded, I truly had to thank him for
24:11finally letting me go.
24:15Night fell.
24:16Kaelin lit up the entire territory sky with fireworks for Selina.
24:20He tracked my scent and called me into the shadows.
24:25Lyra, once the full moon comes tomorrow and Selina and I finish the false binding ceremony, we can finally be
24:30together properly.
24:33I opened my dry throat.
24:37I'm sorry.
24:38I won't.
24:39Before I could finish, Aunt Chloe came running, howling.
24:43Kaelin!
24:44Come quick!
24:45Game time!
24:47Kaelin called back an acknowledgement, then turned to me.
24:50What were you saying?
24:51You want what?
24:53I gave a bitter smile.
24:56Nothing.
24:58Go.
24:59Revel with your pack.
25:01Kaelin squeezed my ice-cold fingers.
25:04Once tomorrow's ceremony is over, all of this will be over.
25:09He turned and strode back toward the clamorous light.
25:12I watched his back in silence.
25:15Yes.
25:16All ties were over.
25:19All the wolves flocked to Selina's lavish room.
25:23Alone, I slipped into the shadows of the main house and checked my communicator.
25:287.15pm.
25:30One hour and 45 minutes left.
25:33I washed my body with cold water, scrubbing every last trace of the territory's scent from
25:39my fur.
25:40The mirror reflected a body mapped with burn scars and whip marks from Silver Moon Prison.
25:45I put on the cleanest clothes I'd managed to keep all these years.
25:49Then I waited.
25:50The last hour.
25:52I looked around the den that had trapped me for so many years.
25:55A few ragged clothes.
25:57One thin blanket.
26:00A diary and a photo frame on the desk.
26:03I threw away every old belonging.
26:06I picked up the photo frame.
26:09Inside was a group portrait of two families, taken 12 years ago, just after I'd returned
26:14to the territory.
26:15That photo had once held every desperate hope I'd had for this pack.
26:21Now I tore it to pieces and dropped it in the trash.
26:25Finally, I opened the diary.
26:28December 6, 2016.
26:30Sunny.
26:31I returned to the territory today.
26:33I met my Alpha and Luna.
26:36I have a home now.
26:37I'm not a stray anymore.
26:40April 1, 2017.
26:43Overcast.
26:44No food or money was allocated to me.
26:47I have to hunt for myself.
26:50July 7, 20, 2018.
26:53Sunny.
26:54I traded my prey for a necklace.
26:57My little sister didn't like it.
26:59I need to earn more.
27:01Buy her something better next time.
27:04I turned to the last entry, written the night before I was sent to prison.
27:09Only one line.
27:10This pack doesn't love me.
27:12Not at all.
27:16A long forgotten burn rose behind my eyes.
27:20I picked up a pen and, using the old wolf tongue, wrote my final words.
27:27I'm leaving Alpha.
27:29Luna.
27:32Before I go, my wolf truly cannot understand.
27:36If you despised my so much, why did you search for me in the forest all those years ago?
27:43When other strays find their birth parents, they're met with endless acceptance and love.
27:48But for me, the moment you found me was the moment you found me wasn't I truly lost my parents.
27:57Chloe, you said you only, Neck, recognized Salima as your sister.
28:01Today, I grant you that wish.
28:06Today, I grant you that wish.
28:06Kaelin, you said after the false binding ceremony we could be together again.
28:11I'm sorry.
28:13My wolf is already dead.
28:15I won't wait for you anymore.
28:18May your bond prove unbreakable.
28:20I am abandoning this territory forever.
28:23Through eye grease per hour's mensley.
28:25We will never see each other again.
28:28I finished writing, laid the diary flat on the desk, and pulled the prison medical records from my bag.
28:38I set them down on top of the diary.
28:41The scan image was unmistakable.
28:44My body contained only one kidney.
28:46The clock struck nine.
28:49I grabbed my canvas bag and limped out of the territory.
28:53Behind me, lights blazed and the pack's revelry shook the ground.
28:58Ahead of me, several matte black military armored vehicles crouched silently in the dark.
29:05Without a flicker of hesitation, I stepped across the territory boundary and walked towards my new life.
29:14Engines roared to light.
29:16The convoy pulled away swiftly, swallowing me into the boundless night.
29:24The next day, to the sound of long, drawn-out wolf howls,
29:31Selina and Kaylin's mating ceremony officially began.
29:37My Luna mother swept her gaze around and couldn't pick up Lyra's scent.
29:41She frowned and growled.
29:43Chloe, where is Lyra if she's absent?
29:45The other packs will talk.
29:47Go!
29:48Drag Lyra out here.
29:51I'll get her.
29:53Which den is she sleeping in?
29:56The storage closet.
29:58Every dominant wolf present went still.
30:01My alpha father's brown frontaled in confusion.
30:05Why would Lyra sleep in a storage closet?
30:08The servant shook.
30:10When Miss Lyra was first brought back, there was no suitable den.
30:15The Luna said she would stay in the storage closet temporarily.
30:19That temporarily had lasted twelve years.
30:23An ugly flush rose on my Luna mother's face.
30:27She masked her guilt with a surge of dominance.
30:31Selina, dressed in pure white silk ceremonial robes, released a clining wave of pheromones.
30:37Our storage closet is still better than fighting wild dogs for scraps in the forest like she used to.
30:43Sister shouldn't feel too wronged, should she?
30:46A thread of dissonance flickered throughout Chloe's heart.
30:51Frowning, she walked toward the renected corner at the end of the corridor.
30:58The heavy wooden door creaked open.
31:00No warm scent of packmates.
31:04Only dust and mildew.
31:07Lyra's bed was pushed against a row of rusted shelving.
31:11Beside it sat an abandoned water tank.
31:14Topped with a battered desk lamp, a yellow diary, and a stack of medical documents.
31:25Lyra wasn't there.
31:28Chloe's heart began to pound.
31:30She walked to the water tank.
31:32With trembling hands, she picked up the diary and the medical reports.
31:38Alpha Father!
31:40Luna Mother!
31:42Sister isn't in the territory, but she left these behind!
31:47Alpha Father moved to investigate, but the sound of an SUV engine and the crushing weight of a top-plea
31:53Alpha's dominance rolled in from outside.
31:58Kaylin had arrived.
32:00My Luna Mother spoke first.
32:02She's probably just throwing a tantrum and ran off to the boundary.
32:08Chloe!
32:10Put those things down and come out.
32:12The Alpha is here for Selina.
32:17Alpha Father hesitated, then suppressed his unease, and turned to go out.
32:24The main hall.
32:26At Kaylin stood in the center, holding a bouquet.
32:29His face showed no trace of joy.
32:32His optory senses were filtering the air with frantic intensity.
32:36Nothing.
32:37No trace of Lyra's scent.
32:39His brow furled hard.
32:43Where is Lyra?
32:46Jealousy flashed through Lina's eyes.
32:49Kaylin...
32:49Sister probably couldn't handle the stimulation.
32:53She ran out of the territory.
32:55My Luna Mother echoed her.
32:56Alpha.
32:58We failed to domesticate Lyra's wildness.
33:01Forgive us.
33:02Kaylin's wolf growled in agitation.
33:04He pulled out his communicator and messaged Lyra.
33:08Why is your wolf still so childish?
33:10Where the hell did you run off to?
33:13No response.
33:14Not through Mindlink.
33:16Not through the communicator.
33:18Chloe emerged, clutching the diary and the medical reports.
33:22She'd only glanced at the report, but what she saw made her blood run cold.
33:27Why was Lyra's body in such terrible condition?
33:30Why did she only have one kidney?
33:35She had already ordered her deputy to launch a full investigation into Lyra's seven years in Silvermoon Prison.
33:44Selina broke the silence, looping her arm through Kaylin's.
33:48Alpha, our mating ceremony is about to start.
33:51Sister left.
33:53So she left.
33:54Chloe and Alpha Father both frowned Selina didn't care in the slightest whether Lyra lived or died.
34:01A false binding ceremony doesn't need to go that far.
34:05You just wanted to wear the wedding dress and walk into the Moon Temple.
34:08Kaylin's voice was cold.
34:10Let's go.
34:11Get it done.
34:13He pulled his arm free and strode out of the main house, carrying a freezing area with him.
34:21Because it was a false ceremony, Kaylin had invited no guests.
34:27The temple stood empty except for the Alpha family and an elder to officiate.
34:32Selina finally shattered.
34:38This is what I wanted at all!
34:45Lyra left, so what?
34:47You still have me!
34:50Am I so inferior to that stray wild wolf?
34:54She's been to prison?
34:55How could she possibly be worthy of you?!
34:57How could she possibly be worthy of you?!
34:58Selina, you threatened to kill yourself.
35:02You jumped off the roof!
35:04That's the only reason I agreed to this sham of a ceremony.
35:08Now we've done what you asked.
35:10Now we've done what you asked, I'm going to find Lyra.
35:18He fixed his eyes on her hard.
35:19And don't you forget, Lyra went to Silvermoon prison in your place.
35:24Every wolf present turned to stone.
35:28Selina let out a piercing shriek.
35:31From somewhere on her person, she drew a silver-coated blade and pressed it to her own throat.
35:38I don't care!
35:40What makes Lyra better than me?!
35:42When you were dying from your wounds all those years ago, I was the one who gave you my kidney!
35:52My Luna mother lunged to grab the knife.
35:55Selina, don't do anything reckless!
35:58Stay back!
36:01Kaelin is the only mate I want.
36:04Why can't I have him?
36:06It's all Lyra's fault.
36:08She deserves to die!
36:10Her hysterical curses echoed through the temple, the scene spiraled completely out of control.
36:21It ended with an ambulance.
36:23His palm was severely burned from wrestling the blade from her grip barehanded.
36:29He sat in the ambulance, calling and messaging Lyra like a man possessed.
36:33Lyra, the false binding ceremony is over. Where are you?
36:36Don't let anger cloud your reason. Let me come find you, alright?
36:40But Lyra's message interface remained dead silent.
36:44Territory hospital. Outside the operating room.
36:47Ignoring the blood still seeping from her own wound, my Luna mother anxiously instructed the healer.
36:52My daughter is a fragile Omega. She has depression. She's missing a kidney.
36:57Be gentle when you stitch her wound.
36:59Ma'am, we've done a full body scan.
37:02Her body is perfectly healthy. She is not missing a kidney.
37:13My Alpha father unleashed a crushing wave of dominance. The nurse, pinned by the pressure, repeated every word.
37:21Both Alpha and Luna stared, stunned and disbelieving.
37:25At that moment, Chloe was staring at the data her deputy had sent.
37:30Medical records, matching the ones Lyra had left behind, along with two segments of blurry surveillance footage.
37:37The first clip, Lyra and Kaelin wheeled side-by-side into the operating room, an organ transplant.
37:43The second clip, the dim interior of Silvermoon Prison, Lyra being servidually torn into, beaten and tormented by a group
37:50of powerful she-wolves.
37:52How dare they do this to the blood daughter of the Alpha?!
37:57Alpha father gave orders! Kaelin sent supplies! How could this have happened?!
38:06The mastermind behind it all... was Selene.
38:12She couldn't hold it in any longer, but her parents had already vanished from sight.
38:17Gripping the diary, she ran frantically through the hospital. She found Selene's room and shoved the door open.
38:22Alpha father, Luna mother, please, read what your eldest daughter left behind first.
38:26She flipped to the final pages. Lyra has always understood the old wolf tongue.
38:29Every word we used to exclude her, she heard and understood every single one.
38:33The blood in both Alpha and Luna seemed to freeze solid.
38:38Alpha father snatched the diary. He read it, word by word, his breathing growing heavier and more ragged.
38:46Chloe turned a cold stare on Selene.
38:48Selene, the person who gave Kaelin her kidney all those years ago? It was never you, was it?
38:54Selene went sorged. The guilt that flinked across her face made the last shred of hope in Chloe's heart collapse
39:00into rubble.
39:01Why did you cut off the survival supplies mother and father sent Lyra?
39:06Why did you bribe the prison guards to torture her inside the prison?!
39:10Selene released a weak pulse of pheromones, fainting bewilderment.
39:14What are you talking about?
39:17The two, Alpha and Luna, having finished the ginery, walked over.
39:20Chloe gave the order to her deputy.
39:22Bring them in.
39:27Five minutes later, the deputy entered with the prison guard, a financial official, and a heavy-set, brutal-looking she
39:34-wolf convict.
39:44At the same moment, he stepped into the room, radiating a frigid, sharp Fear Forest scent.
39:50His face was a frozen mask of slaughter.
39:55His piercing gaze pinned her pale face in place.
40:00As Lyra's mate, I also have the absolute right to scent out the truth behind all of this.
40:05Selene turned ghost white.
40:09Kaelin, what truth? I don't understand a single thing you're all saying.
40:13Selene, you're still trying to deceive us, even now? How many times over the years have you slandered Lyra?
40:21Chloe's voice rose sharply.
40:23Do I need to sniff out every filthy thing you've done?
40:26Right here in front of the Alpha?!
40:28Selene collapsed to the floor, eyes red.
40:33Chloe, I'm your real sister. How can you speak to me like this?
40:37Chloe's laugh was ice.
40:38Then have you forgotten? Lyra is the eldest sister who shares the same blood as me!
40:43Selene began to hyperhentilate, putting on the full performance of a stress-induced episode.
40:49My Luna mother's blind, protective instinct surge again.
40:53Enough! Are you trying to drive your sister to her death?!
41:01Mom, you're still defending her?! Do you even know who your real pup is anymore?!
41:07But Chloe grabbed the medical records and records.
41:10Lyra has only one kidney inside her body!
41:13She's the one who truly saved Kaelin's life!
41:17Lyra's near-death reports from Silvermoon Prison, all of it was caused by deliberate, malicious assault!
41:26She lived in this territory for 12 years. We never gave her a drop of love.
41:31Instead, we despised her and exiled her because of Selene's lies!
41:36Selene's depression is a complete fabrication!
41:42She laid down the most damning evidence.
41:45The scan showing Selene's two perfectly healthy kidneys,
41:49and a psychological report confirming she was mentally stable,
41:53with antisocial personality tendencies.
41:56The silent Kaelin finally moved.
41:59He unleashed a terrifying wave of alpha dominance.
42:07Chloe, give me Lyra's reports.
42:11Critical condition notices, x-rays, blood-stained medical photographs.
42:16He turned them over one by one.
42:19When he reached the full-body injury chart.
42:21Her arms, her stomach, her back, her thighs, barely a patch of unbroken skin.
42:26Every inch covered in bite marks and silver-burn scars.
42:29The top three Earth held rationality set.
42:32He lunged at at Selene, towering over her.
42:41Tell me, what did you do to my mate?!
42:44Selene, how dare you torture her like this?!
42:47With no more room to hide, Selene laughed, twisted.
42:55She looked at my Luna mother.
42:59Mommy, it hurts.
43:02Chloe threw herself in front of their mother.
43:05Stop your performance!
43:07For all these years, you used our sympathy!
43:09You used our mother's love and turned her into a blade,
43:13stabbing it over and over into her own biological daughter's heart!
43:17Selene, you're vicious beyond comprehension.
43:19Don't you understand?!
43:21What you've done will leave this family drowning in irredeemable regret for the rest of our lives!
43:27Selene turned to Alpha Father.
43:31Daddy, you've always loved me the most.
43:34Alpha Father clutched the diary so hard it crumpled.
43:37In agony, he averted his eyes.
43:39In that moment, Selene lost every chip she had left.
43:43Her gaze went hollow.
43:44She breathed out the words, light as ash.
43:47I just wanted Lyra to die, that's all.
43:50Nothing more.
43:52Selene!
43:53Kaylin's voice sounded like it was ripped from a torn throat.
43:59Confess every single one of your crimes.
44:02Every word.
44:04Now.
44:05Now.
44:06Alpha Father spoke.
44:08His voice heavy with grief.
44:12Kaylin.
44:15I will give you an accounting.
44:17But before that, you should read what Lyra left for you.
44:21What she wrote at the end.
44:22Numbly, Kaylin took the diary.
44:25He turned to the last page, so.
44:28The day he kissed Selene in front of everyone, that was when Lyra had already given up completely.
44:35And he had arrogantly believed that after the false binding ceremony, he could still have her.
44:44Kaylin pressed the diary hard against his chest.
44:47Under the eyes of everyone present, the coldest, most ruthless top-tier alpha, finally showed a face of utter devastation.
44:55A tear of remorse slipped silently from his eye.
44:59Selene was still crying.
45:02I didn't mean it.
45:03I was just scared of losing you.
45:06No.
45:07Kaylin said.
45:07His eyes held no mercy, only deathly stillness.
45:12You didn't mean it?
45:13Then who did?
45:15Lyra, who you framed and sent to prison.
45:19Or me, who you played like a puppet in your palm.
45:25Selene.
45:26You had everything.
45:28The Alpha and Luna doted on you.
45:30The entire pack treated you like a treasure.
45:33Lyra's return never once shook your position.
45:36Then what about you?
45:38Selene tore off her mask completely.
45:41Did her existence never shake my place in your heart?
45:44The question made Kaylin's breath stop cold.
45:50See?
45:53Your wolf already answered for you.
45:57Selene's lips curled in bitter mockery.
46:00After Lyra came back, you changed.
46:02The way you looked at her, it was pure possessiveness.
46:06How could I not be jealous?
46:08How could I not hate her to the marrow of my bones?
46:12So I had to make her disappear.
46:19I had to make her rot in that filthy prison until nothing was left!
46:28Kaylin stared at this stranger wearing an Omega's face.
46:32All that remained in his eyes was despair.
46:36Selene laughed and sobbed in the same breath.
46:39It's all that bitch Lyra's fault anyway!
46:43Why did she have to come back?
46:48Her very existence kept reminding me I'm nothing but a cheap counterfeit!
46:57A violent slap exploded through the room.
47:01Selene clutched her swollen cheek, staring in disbelief at the Alpha Father who had once treasured her above all else.
47:08Alpha Father's face was dark.
47:10A tidal wave of regret crashed over him.
47:13Alpha Father!
47:16Selene tried to stir whatever pity remained.
47:19Alpha Father!
47:22You are no longer worthy of using that title to defile the honor of an Alpha.
47:28Alpha Father's eyes were rimmed red.
47:30What we owe Lyra, we will repay.
47:33What you owe her, you will repay in blood!
47:37Kaylin, I...
47:38Selene turned to him.
47:40Shut your mouth.
47:41You're not worthy of calling me that anymore.
47:44Is there truly no mercy left?
47:48You still think this is just a small matter?
47:51Kaylin's laugh was colder than death.
47:56Isn't it?
47:57Lyra only spent seven years in prison!
48:00She's not even dead!
48:02Selene shrieked.
48:08Her entire body is covered in scars from the wolves you paid to tear into her!
48:15Kaylin roared.
48:27The sound of breaking bone was stark and piercing in the room.
48:32Kaylin's wolf claws closed around at Selene's wrist.
48:35With horrifying force, he crushed the bones.
48:43At the same moment, aboard a plane bound for Dominica.
48:46I stared blankly out the window into the pitch-black sky.
48:50Those grey Myothams had all become the dust behind me.
48:59This aircraft is scheduled to arrive in Dominica in five minutes.
49:04The announcement echoed through the cabin.
49:08I cast the past away completely.
49:11Looking at the brightening coastline,
49:13the corner of my mouth curved into a wild, free arc.
49:22Dominica.
49:22I had arrived.
49:24I was about to meet my new life.
49:26Six years passed in the blink in an eye.
49:29Kaylin and the crescent moon pack still hadn't found a single trace of me.
49:35When a soul resolves to vanish from the territory,
49:38even the moon goddess herself struggles to track it.
49:43Kaylin had wasted away, visibly.
49:46The communicator on his desk buzzed.
49:51He rubbed his exhausted brow and answered.
49:59Alpha,
50:00Selina's mental state has collapsed completely.
50:03Every day she tears into herself like a rabid animal.
50:07Her wolf has gone feral.
50:09The doctors recommend transferring her to a psychiatric institution.
50:13This time,
50:14is it real?
50:16Or another performance?
50:19Kaylin's voice was frozen steel.
50:23It's real.
50:24Her wolf spirit has atrophiated from prolonged terror.
50:28Fine.
50:29I'll send the transport.
50:33Kaylin cut the call without mercy.
50:35Over these six years,
50:37he had arranged for Selina
50:39to receive special attention inside the prison.
50:42Every single agony I had endured in Silvermoon Prison.
50:46She had tasted every one of them in full measure.
50:50The crescent moon pack had maintained a deathly silence about it.
50:54Kaylin dropped his gaze to the photo on his desk.
50:57The photo of me just after my release.
51:00Gone.
51:00Skeletal.
51:01Expressionless.
51:02Which forest are you hiding in, Lyra?
51:06He traced the brow and eyes in the photograph.
51:08Infinite regret soaked his voice.
51:10I know that making everyone who hurt you taste the same pain is the only true apology.
51:15But if you never come back,
51:17how do I return the soul I owe you?
