Short filmTranscript
00:00With the moon goddess as witness, from this day on, you are husband and wife.
00:04At our lawn wedding, Reed and I smiled, about to kiss.
00:07Before our lips met, Finn Voss rushed in.
00:10Riri, wait! You've got the wrong guy!
00:12Reed isn't your fiancé, I am!
00:14I was a wolf-less nobody.
00:16My stepmother was going to sell me to an alpha old enough to wear diapers.
00:20So I ran from my pack to find him, the fiancé my mom chose for me before she died.
00:24All I knew was his last name.
00:25Voss.
00:26What I didn't know was that the Voss family had two sons.
00:28So it began like this.
00:30Hello, Mr. Voss. I'm your fiancé, Aurelia Hawthorne.
00:34Did your mom ever mention me?
00:36I was so nervous.
00:37He had black hair, striking blue eyes, and a muscular chest stretching his shirt tight.
00:42I caught myself staring.
00:43He frowned slightly.
00:45You can call me right, and yes, she told me about you.
00:48Seeing the cold look on his face, my heart sank.
00:50If he knew I was wolf-less, unable to shift, smell pheromones, even feel the mate bond,
00:56he'd despise me even more.
00:57So I hid it.
00:58My mom is dead.
00:59I'm only 18.
01:00My stepper is trying to sell me for money.
01:02Please, can you help me?
01:04I begged, grabbing his hand.
01:06Mate.
01:06Ride said under his breath.
01:07What?
01:08I didn't catch that.
01:09He grabbed my wrist and pulled me closer.
01:11Reet's face flushed, his breathing growing ragged, his chest heaving.
01:14You didn't feel anything just now?
01:17What do you mean?
01:17I was wolf-less.
01:18I had no idea this meant mate imprinting.
01:20He let go of me at once, and his voice turned cold.
01:23You can stay here, but you follow my rules.
01:25The second slur is off-limits unless I say so.
01:27I'll arrange for you to attend my school.
01:29Don't mention our relationship to anyone.
01:30But I wasn't discouraged.
01:32I even pulled out my prettiest dress for the next day, because I had just realized something.
01:37I was about to live with a ridiculously hot guy.
01:39The next morning, I headed downstairs for breakfast.
01:42Two omegas were whispering in the kitchen.
01:44I stopped behind the staircase and listened.
01:46Did you hear?
01:47Reet caught another intruder yesterday.
01:49He's the handsomest, bravest man I've ever seen.
01:51He'll definitely be the next alpha, said Sarah, one of the kitchen omogas.
01:55They're both Vosses, but Finn's private life is a train wreck.
01:58They're brothers, so how are they nothing alike?
02:01My stomach dropped.
02:02Brothers?
02:03I suddenly remembered the half-wolf bone necklace my mother gave me before she died.
02:07A betrothal token.
02:08She had only said a Voss boy, but there were two.
02:10Had I picked the right fiancé?
02:12After class, I went home and dropped my bag on the dining table.
02:15Damn this biology assignment.
02:17I need a laptop to finish it, but I can't afford one.
02:20I might know a way.
02:21Reed has one in his study upstairs.
02:23Go after midnight.
02:24He'll be asleep by then.
02:26He'll never notice.
02:27I believed her, decided to go that night.
02:29What I didn't know was that it was the full moon, Reed's heat.
02:33At 11 that night, I slipped into the study and crept to the desk.
02:37As my fingers brushed the mouse, a rough, restrained breath came from behind me.
02:42I froze, then spun around.
02:44Reed was sitting on the sofa.
02:46His eyes glowed eerily in the dark.
02:48He strode toward me.
02:49His chest slammed into mine, trapping me between the wall and his burning body.
02:53I was left facing the wall.
02:55His voice sounded at my back.
02:56Did you come tonight?
02:57On purpose?
02:59Looking to get laid?
03:00Reed lowered his head, his nose rubbing hard against the side of my neck.
03:04Who said you could come in?
03:05I warned you to stay out of my territory.
03:07Did you not understand?
03:08Or are you provoking me on purpose?
03:10His fangs grazed the glane at the back of my neck.
03:12His possessiveness was fierce.
03:14I should tear your throat open.
03:16Sorry.
03:17I really just came to borrow your computer.
03:19It's for biology homework.
03:20I said.
03:21He turned me to face him, seized my wrist, and bit into it.
03:24Liar!
03:25Pain hit so fast I gasped.
03:27Tears spilled out.
03:28Let go!
03:29Please!
03:30It hurts!
03:31You still don't feel anything, do you?
03:33He yanked at my clothes.
03:35My pajama top tore open.
03:37Sorry.
03:38I really don't know what you mean, I said.
03:41Why?
03:42Did the moon goddess get it wrong?
03:45Frustration edged his voice, as if my confusion had crushed his pride.
03:48He opened his mouth.
03:50I knew what was coming.
03:51He was about to bite my gland and mark me.
03:53But in the next second, he lost control.
03:56His arms swept across the desk.
03:57Books and decorations crashed to the floor.
04:00The sharp noise ripped through the silence.
04:02Get out!
04:03Get out of my sight!
04:04I scrambled out of the room.
04:06The next day, I was heading home after school, when a guy blocked me in the hallway.
04:11Well, well.
04:12Look who it is.
04:14The little thing mooching off the Vox estate.
04:16So you've heard of me?
04:18Finn laughed mockingly and bent to sniff my neck.
04:21No scent at all.
04:22He scoffed.
04:23Has Rivate lost his mind?
04:25Taken some defective stray?
04:26Get away from me!
04:28I said.
04:28Finn, I hope you're not bad-mouthing me behind my back again.
04:31Rit appeared and pulled me behind him.
04:33Easy, brother.
04:34The way you're fussing over her, anyone would think she's your mate.
04:36So, found her yet?
04:38Finn asked.
04:38I looked over at Rit, too.
04:40I wanted that answer, too.
04:41As long as his mate hadn't shown up, his extra fiancé could stay a little longer.
04:45Ryuk's hand paused.
04:46His dark eyes swept over my un-eeky face.
04:48No.
04:48Then returned to their usual calm.
04:49He said, nothing else.
04:50I hadn't expected Finn to come home with us, with his girl in tow.
04:54Dinner was awkward.
04:55I sat stiffly, with Rit close on my left and Finn on my right.
04:58Meanwhile, the sexy girl Finn had brought home was left alone across the long table.
05:03Her exquisitely lined eyes kept flicking toward me, full of hostility.
05:07Finn glanced at Lella across the table, then looked me over with a sneer.
05:10Look at Lella.
05:11Any alpha would go crazy for her.
05:14Then look at this one.
05:15Besides her face, she's bland as hell.
05:18What do you even see in her?
05:19Finn, putting girls down for attention is something you should have outgrown by 15.
05:23Finn's grin vanished as he shot to his feet, his chair scraping across the floor.
05:27Looked like a beast that had just been struck where it hurt.
05:29Don't act so high and mighty, Ryab.
05:31You took her in because of your own dark possessiveness.
05:34Not out of kindness?
05:35Did you really think my wolf couldn't sense it?
05:38Possessive?
05:39Over me?
05:40But Riot could barely stand me.
05:42Then Finn grabbed my hand and pulled me to my feet.
05:45I tried to pull away, but Finn only tightened his grip.
05:49The intimacy felt humiliating.
05:51And my eyes sting.
05:52My brother, didn't we always share everything?
05:56You're really gonna fight me over a woman?
05:58Finn asked.
05:59Turns out, brothers can't stay mad at each other for long.
06:03After dinner, I headed out to the villa grounds for a walk.
06:06Riot and Finn were in the pool.
06:07Both of them, completely naked.
06:09They had the kind of bodies every 18-year-old guy dreams about.
06:11Bronze skin, water running down their shoulders.
06:14The water rippled just below their waists.
06:15They were joking around, having a great time.
06:17I threw my hands over my eyes and turned to leave.
06:19Why would you swim?
06:21With no clothes on?
06:22I'm going back inside.
06:23Relax.
06:24It's just skinny dipping.
06:25You're overreacting.
06:26There are other girls in this house.
06:28You should at least respect that.
06:30Why?
06:30You want respect?
06:31Then respect how we live.
06:32Finn grinned.
06:33If it bothers you that much...
06:34Then Riot spoke up.
06:35Just get in.
06:36Swim with us.
06:37A few times, you'll loosen up.
06:39Hard pass.
06:40I turned and walked away.
06:41Hope you both get locked out there.
06:44Naked.
06:45Did I say you could leave?
06:47Finn's voice came from right behind me.
06:48I hadn't even reached the door.
06:50Two hands grabbed my waist.
06:52My feet left the ground.
06:54Finn lifted me and threw me into the pool.
06:57Arca!
06:58I can't swim!
07:00Water rushed in.
07:03I choked.
07:04Went under.
07:05Through the blur, I saw a dark-haired figure cutting toward me.
07:08Riot.
07:08He pulled me up and got me to the edge.
07:10I lay against him, coughing.
07:13Aurea, you okay?
07:15Riot asked.
07:16I said.
07:17I'm fine.
07:17Still coughing.
07:18Reet was so close.
07:19My heart couldn't take it.
07:21Finn, that was too far.
07:22Reek said.
07:23Yeah, yeah.
07:23Sorry.
07:24Finn apologized reluctantly.
07:25My dress was soaked through.
07:27The thin fabric turned nearly see-through.
07:29I caught Reet staring.
07:30His face went red.
07:31Hey, I...
07:31I snapped, wrapping her arms tightly across her front.
07:34My face was burning.
07:35That's when I felt it.
07:36Something hard under me.
07:37I remembered.
07:38He was naked.
07:39What?
07:39What is that?
07:40I shoved against his chest and scrambled back.
07:42It's just wood.
07:43Aurea, a normal reaction.
07:45Did you sleep through health class?
07:46But his voice stayed maddeningly matter of faith.
07:48I'm leaving.
07:49I snapped, shooting to my feet.
07:51I wish the ground would swallow me up.
07:52God, she's such a prude.
07:54Rod laughed.
07:55She's so funny.
07:56I could tease her forever.
07:57Finn said.
07:58The summer dance notice had been posted for a week.
08:00I hadn't gotten a single invite.
08:01But deep down, I was waiting for Reek to ask me.
08:04Ever since the pool, my heart raced every time I saw him.
08:07But whenever we passed in the hall, he never looked my way.
08:09At lunch, Finn leaned against the lockers, flashing me that annoying grin.
08:13Still no invite, Aurelia?
08:15Come on, beg me.
08:16Clean my room for a week, and I might just go with you.
08:18No thanks.
08:19Your room is a total dump.
08:20I'm not cleaning it.
08:21Finn scoffed, gave a shrug, and walked off.
08:24I bit my lip.
08:25If no one was going to ask me, I'd do it myself.
08:27I thought of Ethan, the quiet, gentle boy in my class, who always kept to himself.
08:31Ethan, for the summer dance, do you already have a date?
08:35I mean, if you don't, would you want to go with me?
08:37Ethan looked up, startled, and instantly blushed.
08:39I don't have a date.
08:40I'd love to, Aurelia.
08:41He nodded fast, like he was scared I'd change my mind.
08:44Then I caught a figure, standing by the door.
08:46Ryat.
08:47He just stood there, brow nodded, anger flickering in his usually calm eyes.
08:51I couldn't make sense of it.
08:52Ryat?
08:53What's wrong?
08:54Looks like that invitation went well, huh?
08:56After that, Raid left.
08:57And for the next week, he didn't say a single word to me.
08:59I was completely confused.
09:00Who I asked, and who I went to the dance with, had nothing to do with him.
09:03He didn't ask me himself, so why was he so mad now?
09:06I was chatting with Sarah in the packhouse kitchen.
09:08She'd become one of my closest friends in the pack.
09:10I still don't have a dress for the dance.
09:13I groaned, burying my face in my hands.
09:15At this rate, I'll have to show up in jeans.
09:17Please don't actually do that.
09:19Take your time.
09:20You'll find one you love.
09:21The dance is going to be fun.
09:23Sarah said.
09:24Ryk appeared in the doorway, leaning against the frame.
09:26He held an elegant bag from a women's boutique.
09:29Was that for some lucky girl?
09:30Ryk walked over with an elegant shopping bag and held it out to me, like he was unloading
09:34something he didn't want.
09:35Here, take it.
09:36I bought this dress for my date, but it didn't fit.
09:39Throwing it out would be a waste, so it's yours.
09:41Wow.
09:42Never thought I'd see that.
09:44You've never gone this far for any girl.
09:45Stay out of it.
09:46But the tips of his ears had already turned pink.
09:49I carefully took the bag and pulled out the dress.
09:51It was beautiful.
09:53The exact same emerald green as my eyes.
09:55Ria, this dress is gorgeous.
09:57And wow, the color matches my eyes exactly.
10:01How did you-
10:01Like it or not, wear it or don't, I don't care.
10:03I hugged the dress to my chest.
10:05My cheeks burned.
10:06I couldn't hide how happy I was.
10:08Thank you, Rait.
10:09But what is your date going to wear?
10:11That's none of your business.
10:12I'll buy her another one.
10:13My heart sank.
10:14It felt like something I loved had never been mine alone.
10:17Wear it to the dance.
10:18Dress up nice.
10:19Then he walked away.
10:21That afternoon, I pushed open my door to show Sarah the dress.
10:25The dark green gown hugged my waist.
10:28Its sheer trail brushed softly across the floor.
10:30It made my green eyes look like emeralds under moonlight.
10:33As soon as I reached the stairs, I walked straight into a fixed stair.
10:37Rait was sitting in the middle of the living room sofa.
10:39The glass in his hand had stopped mid-air.
10:42He looked completely frozen.
10:44His blue eyes were glued to me.
10:45From my hair to the hem of my dress, his Adam's juckle bobbed.
10:48I walked over to Sarah.
10:50Sarah, what do you think?
10:52It looks okay, right?
10:53Okay?
10:54It's stunning!
10:55Oh my god, Aurelia!
10:56The guys asking you to dance tonight are going to be lined up all the way outside school!
11:01It's getting late.
11:02I'm driving today, so I'll give you a ride.
11:04I looked at him carefully.
11:06Didn't you say we shouldn't let people know about us in public?
11:08Don't you need to pick up your date?
11:10Ask one more question, and you can run there.
11:13I had no choice but to shut up and get into his car.
11:15My heart was pounding.
11:17He drove with one hand and loosened his tie with the other.
11:20His face was a little flushed.
11:22Seriously, can you stop releasing pheromones?
11:24Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to.
11:25I really didn't.
11:27That was just another drawback of being wolfless.
11:29I couldn't control my pheromones at all.
11:31As soon as I got out of Reed's sports car, I caught every girl's attention.
11:35I could already guess how much gossip there would be in the group chats next week about me and him.
11:40Wright looked like he wanted to say something.
11:41He hesitated for a long moment.
11:43Then someone interrupted our eye contact.
11:45Hey, Aurelia.
11:46You look beautiful tonight.
11:47Let's go in.
11:48It was Ethan, my date for the night.
11:50I slipped my arm through Ethan's, but I didn't leave right away.
11:53Wright, was there something you wanted to say to me?
11:56No.
11:57You two go ahead.
11:58I followed Ethan inside in a daze.
12:00A sour, bitter feeling twisted in my chest.
12:03All I could think about was the rest of the night.
12:05Reed would be dancing with another girl, holding her hand.
12:08Maybe even kissing her.
12:10Or worse, sleeping with her tonight.
12:12Aurelia, can I have this dance?
12:13Ethan held out a hand to me.
12:15Of course.
12:15I placed my hand in his, but the second I stepped onto the dance floor, my eyes betrayed me.
12:20They kept drifting back to Reed on the couch.
12:22He had no date, no smile either.
12:25He was just staring at me.
12:26His gaze tracked me and Ethan together.
12:28Our joined hands, our shoulders brushing.
12:30Every second, he looked like he was holding something back.
12:32Where was his date?
12:33Did she stand him up?
12:34What girl would stand Rake Voss up?
12:35One dance was short, but I was distracted the entire time.
12:38Half my mind stayed on Wright.
12:39The second it ended, I ran straight over to him.
12:41Wright, thank you for the dress.
12:43It's really beautiful.
12:44So, your date didn't come?
12:46Come with me.
12:47Reed grabbed my wrist and pulled me out to the little garden.
12:50The lights out there were dim.
12:51You're thanking me?
12:52So you do still see me?
12:54I wasn't pretending not to.
12:55You didn't ask me to dance.
12:57Do you even know who I am to you?
12:58Auraria, I'm your mate.
13:00You knew that.
13:01So why have you been ignoring me this whole time?
13:04Wright was my mate?
13:05So that was the truth?
13:07I was so shocked and happy.
13:09The boy I liked was actually my mate.
13:12Moon Goddess, thank you.
13:13I thought back to the first time I met him.
13:15All his awkwardness, anger, and confusion.
13:17Now I finally understood.
13:18Maybe I should tell him I was wolfless.
13:21Maybe he could accept my flaw.
13:23I'm sorry, Wright.
13:24I think I can ex-
13:25Reed grabbed me and pinned against his chest.
13:28Then he bit down on my shoulder hard.
13:30What do you have to explain?
13:32You just want to drive me crazy?
13:34You're a complete disaster.
13:36You're a tornado.
13:38Everywhere you go, you leave a mess behind.
13:40Why did you even show up?
13:42My excitement vanished instantly,
13:43and my heart sank with it.
13:45Riot really hated me.
13:47Just an hour ago, I almost thought he liked me too.
13:50I walked out to the balcony in a daze,
13:52wanting to be alone,
13:52but someone was already there.
13:54It was Finn.
13:55You guys don't know this, but I'm already 19.
13:58My mom set up my engagement forever ago,
14:00and keeps pushing me to get married.
14:01An arranged marriage?
14:02Who wants that?
14:04I'm not marrying some stranger I've never met.
14:05I'm calling it off in a few days.
14:07Whoever wants to marry her can do it.
14:10I jolted, and my heart clenched.
14:12An engagement?
14:13Calling it off?
14:14Then a ridiculous, terrifying thought thought
14:16shot through my head.
14:17No.
14:19Impossible.
14:20My fiancé could not be him.
14:22Quit lying.
14:23Show us then.
14:24Finn reached into his pocket
14:25and pulled out a necklace.
14:26Hanging from it was half of a white wolf bone pendant
14:29with a soft sheen.
14:30It looked exactly like mine.
14:32My whole body went cold,
14:34and my heart started racing.
14:36The boy I liked dumped me today,
14:37and the boy I hated was actually my fiancé.
14:40I had only one thought now.
14:42I had to get out of this pack.
14:45That same night, I left the dance early
14:47and went straight back to the villa.
14:50I dare, dare size if anyone.
14:52I just shoved two changes of clothes into a bag
14:55and fled the pack grounds.
14:57I put on a blonde wig and big glasses,
14:59slipped into the nearby town,
15:00and rented the cheapest attic room I could find.
15:04Then I suddenly remembered something mom had left me.
15:07Half of the wolf bone necklace
15:08was still at the Voss house.
15:09It was the only thing she had ever left me,
15:11the most precious thing I had,
15:13but I didn't dare go back.
15:15The next day, I found a job
15:16at a bar as a beer girl.
15:18I wore a tight cropped top
15:20and a skirt so short it barely covered my thighs.
15:23That was the required uniform.
15:24Hey, sweetheart,
15:26come have a drink with me,
15:27some creep said.
15:29Sir, I'm still working.
15:30Please don't do that.
15:32I stepped back, dodging his hand.
15:34Get a little closer.
15:35I'll pay double.
15:37I gripped the bottle,
15:39kept my face calm,
15:40and backed away.
15:41Then a greasy hand clamped around my wrist
15:44and yanked me toward him.
15:45A hand shat in and clamped around his wrist.
15:47Let her go.
15:49Touch her again,
15:50and you won't
15:52be walking out of here.
15:54Shit, it was Reet.
15:56I ducked my head fast,
15:58letting the blonde hair fall over my face.
16:00I didn't even say thank you
16:01before turning to leave.
16:03Hey, blondie,
16:04hold up.
16:05I froze.
16:07Get me two beers.
16:08The knot in my chest loosened a little.
16:11Thank God,
16:12he hadn't recognized me.
16:13I grabbed two beers for him
16:15and walked off without looking up.
16:17For the next two days,
16:19Ribe showed up at the bar like clockwork.
16:21Every time I carried his drinks over,
16:23my nerves were a mess.
16:25That day,
16:25he locked his eyes on me
16:27and asked,
16:28casual and blunt,
16:29You're new here, right?
16:30Haven't seen you before.
16:32I forced down the rush of emotion
16:33and answered in my altered voice.
16:35Yeah,
16:36I just started working here.
16:37I'd changed how I looked,
16:38changed my voice too.
16:40There was no way he could recognize me,
16:41right?
16:42You're cute.
16:43Any guys here trying to hit on you?
16:44His tone was all tease.
16:46No,
16:47nobody's into me.
16:49They're blind.
16:50What's your name?
16:51Was Riak seriously flirting with me?
16:53Was this his type?
16:55A drunk guy stubbled past us
16:56and nearly slammed into me.
16:58Ribe caught my arm
16:59and pulled me in.
17:00One more second
17:01and I would have landed
17:02right in his lap.
17:03Watch it.
17:04My fingers tightened.
17:06I blurted out the fake name
17:07I'd prepared.
17:08Clara.
17:09Clara.
17:10My heart was already
17:12trying to leap out of my throat
17:13when I noticed it.
17:16Mom's necklace.
17:17What the hell?
17:18Why was he wearing that necklace?
17:20And how was I supposed
17:21to get it back?
17:23I wiped down the bar
17:24and tried to think.
17:27I spent the whole night on it
17:28but I still couldn't figure out
17:30how to steal my necklace back
17:32from a werewolf that sharp.
17:34Clara, come here.
17:35This guy's had way too much.
17:36He can't make it home.
17:37There's an empty room upstairs.
17:39Help me get him up there,
17:40okay?
17:42I turned around.
17:43It was Wright.
17:44Drunk out of his mind.
17:45He couldn't even stand.
17:47His eyes wouldn't stay open.
17:48The owner and I
17:49hauled him to a room upstairs
17:51then turned to leave
17:52after we got him onto the bed.
17:54By the time I was heading
17:55back downstairs,
17:57the idea had fully formed.
17:59Tonight,
17:59I was sneaking into Wright's room
18:01and I was taking back
18:02what was mine.
18:03In the middle of the night,
18:04I pushed the door open.
18:06Wright was laying in bed,
18:08still and quiet,
18:09looking dead asleep.
18:10I crouched beside the bed
18:12and stared at his face,
18:13my chest filled with
18:14that same old ache.
18:15I really had fallen for him.
18:16There was no hiding it anymore,
18:18no outrunning it,
18:19but to him,
18:20I was probably just trouble,
18:21someone he wanted
18:21out of his life.
18:22Was my leaving a relief to him?
18:24I shoved it all down,
18:26reached slowly into his trouser
18:27and with shaking fingers,
18:29eased the necklace free.
18:30Aurora.
18:31I jumped so hard,
18:32the necklace slipped from my hand.
18:34In the dark,
18:34a pair of eyes snapped open.
18:36His pupils glowed
18:37as they locked onto me.
18:39Wright was awake.
18:40In the next second,
18:41his hand clamped around my wrist.
18:43He flipped,
18:43fast and hard,
18:44and pinned me beneath him
18:45in one clean move.
18:47His body caged mine completely.
18:48In the dark,
18:49his breath pressed heavy
18:50against my ear,
18:52rough with a trace of alcohol.
18:53Sure of itself.
18:55Like he'd won.
18:57Got you.
18:58I didn't make it out.
19:00Reet took me back
19:01and kept me locked in his house.
19:03He never let me out of his sight.
19:04He put me in the tub
19:06and used the shower head
19:07to wash every trace
19:08of unfamiliar scent
19:09off my body.
19:11Goddammit.
19:11You smell like other people.
19:13I'm washing that off.
19:14Your scent gave you away
19:16a long time ago.
19:17The whole bar smelled like you.
19:19Those men were circling you
19:21like hyenas.
19:21I wanted to kill them.
19:23Again and again,
19:23he lowered his head
19:24and inhaled at my neck,
19:26my hair,
19:27all wolf,
19:27all control,
19:29suffocating.
19:30My body went rigid.
19:31I turned my face away a little.
19:33Don't touch me.
19:34So what?
19:35You're really rejecting me?
19:36I pressed my lips together
19:38and said nothing.
19:39The long silence
19:40finally snapped something in him.
19:42He bent down and bit hard
19:43at the gland on my neck,
19:44frantic and obsessive,
19:46trying to force his mark onto me.
19:47I'm marking you.
19:48You're mine.
19:49Then his whole body locked up.
19:51No bond responses.
19:52No mark.
19:53Nothing.
19:53Why?
19:54He stared at my neck.
19:55Why won't it take...
19:56His voice gone rough.
19:57I lowered my eyes.
19:58Because I'm wolf-less.
19:59You can't mark me.
20:01And you can't bond with me.
20:03That broke him.
20:05He gripped my wrist tighter.
20:07Then don't leave me, okay?
20:09I'll give you everything I have.
20:11I'll make it up to you.
20:12My eyes burned red,
20:13but I couldn't get a word out.
20:15He suddenly tightened his arms
20:16and locked me against his chest.
20:18Stubborn.
20:19Possessive.
20:20Unshakeable.
20:20You can hate me.
20:21You can blame me.
20:23But you're not leaving me.
20:24Wright fastened a black kickle
20:26around my neck with his own hands.
20:28Don't take it off.
20:30It's covered in my scent.
20:31From now on, it stays on you.
20:33Every second.
20:34Until the day you truly belong to me.
20:37From that day on,
20:38wherever he went, I went.
20:40He never let me out of his sight.
20:42During the day,
20:43he cooked for me himself
20:44and watched me finish every bite.
20:46Open up.
20:48Be good.
20:49And don't make me do this the hard way.
20:51Nights were worse.
20:52He shifted into a massive black wolf
20:55and wrapped his body around me so completely
20:57I could barely move.
20:59He made me sleep against his fur
21:01like he needed the constant proof
21:03that I was there.
21:04One day,
21:06Finn came home.
21:07He clearly hadn't expected Wright
21:10to bring me back.
21:11He moved in close,
21:12caught Wright's heavy scent all over me
21:14and looked at him with his jaw clenched.
21:16Jesus, Reet.
21:17Have you lost your mind?
21:19Look at you.
21:20You're disgusting.
21:22You turned some scentless defect
21:24into your property
21:25and kept her locked away
21:26like some rabid dog
21:27guarding its territory?
21:29She reeks of you.
21:31What, did you piss on her?
21:33The air around Wright
21:34turned cold in an instant.
21:36He pulled me behind him,
21:38shielding me with his body,
21:39his gaze sharp and final.
21:41Shut up, Finn.
21:42She's my mate.
21:43Don't touch her
21:44unless you're ready to challenge me.
21:45I just stared at him,
21:47shaken to the core.
21:49For the first time,
21:50I saw it clearly.
21:52Under all that twisted control
21:54was an obsession
21:55even he couldn't hold back.
21:57Did you forget?
21:59She's my fiancé.
22:00Finn shot back.
22:01Reet and Finn went thrutted at once.
22:03Neither of them was backing down.
22:05They charged outside
22:06and shifted into two enormous wolves,
22:08one black, one gray.
22:10Their scents exploded
22:11into the air at the same time,
22:12violent and overwhelming,
22:14crushing me from both sides.
22:15A sharp pain tore through my head.
22:17My vision went black.
22:18My body gave out
22:19and I lost consciousness.
22:21In the haze of a dream,
22:22I stood inside a sea of white fog.
22:25A silver wolf walked toward me,
22:27calm and fierce all at once.
22:29I'm Hazel, Aurelia.
22:30I'm your wolf.
22:31We were never worthless.
22:33I was just lost for a while.
22:35I've been waiting for you,
22:37waiting for you to wake me.
22:38The words burned into my mind.
22:40When I finally opened my eyes,
22:42they were still there.
22:43The room was quiet.
22:44Ride sat beside the bed,
22:46his eyes full of exhaustion and fear.
22:48Ride.
22:48I made him leave.
22:49His face was bruised.
22:51His arm was torn up too.
22:53Did you two fight?
22:55Tell me the truth.
22:55I touched his face.
22:57Ride pressed his lips together
22:59and looked away,
23:00without answering.
23:02The pack doctor came by.
23:04You were just worn down,
23:06physically and mentally.
23:07The two scents hit you too hard.
23:10That's why you passed out.
23:11He lifted a hand
23:12and gently removed
23:13the chokal from my neck.
23:15I'm sorry.
23:16I won't force my scent on you again.
23:18And I won't keep you
23:19caged up like that.
23:22The room had only justened,
23:24softened when his phone buzzed.
23:26He checked the text
23:27from one of the pack betas
23:28and his face darkened at once.
23:33My father, he said.
23:34The alpha of the moonweave pack.
23:36He wants to see you.
23:37Reed's father sat
23:38at the head of the room
23:39with the pack elders
23:40gathered around him.
23:41The head elder spoke first,
23:43his voice heavy with contempt.
23:45So you're the wolfless girl.
23:47No mark.
23:49No wolf.
23:50No gift.
23:51You're not fit
23:52for the future alpha
23:53of this family.
23:53You can't give this pack
23:55strong-blooded heirs.
23:56Another elder said.
23:57Reed's father
23:58looked at me and said.
23:59The pack doctor says
24:00your soul signature is abnormal.
24:04Strange.
24:05We need to verify what you are.
24:06No one can say for sure
24:08whether you'll become
24:09a threat to my pack.
24:10To confirm your identity.
24:12The second they closed in,
24:14Reed moved.
24:14He stepped in front of me
24:16and blocked them off completely.
24:17His back went rigid.
24:19His alpha scent
24:20burst through the room
24:21like a blade.
24:22Even his fangs started to show.
24:23Nobody touches her.
24:25I won't let any of you hurt her.
24:27Ryle, move!
24:29The whole room locked in place,
24:31tension razor sharp.
24:32I lifted a hand
24:33and rested it on his tight arm.
24:34It's fine, really.
24:35I am an outsider.
24:36I'll do it myself.
24:37I took the small knife
24:38from the side.
24:39No hesitation.
24:41I cut my palm open
24:42and let the blood drip down
24:43onto the moonstone slab.
24:45Blinding silver-white light
24:46exploded across the hall.
24:48The entire room
24:49went dead silent.
24:50Every elder froze.
24:51All the contempt
24:52on their faces
24:53shattered at once,
24:54replaced by pure shock.
24:56This is a sign
24:57of supreme mystic power.
25:00No ordinary wolfless
25:01could possess this.
25:02Great power always comes
25:04with great disaster.
25:06The unknown is a risk.
25:08If you ask me,
25:09the safest move
25:10is not to let her stay.
25:13Everyone started talking
25:14over each other,
25:16judging me in low voices,
25:17weighing my value,
25:19measuring my danger.
25:20If she's controllable,
25:22she could be the pack's
25:22greatest asset.
25:23And if she's not,
25:24she could destroy the whole pack.
25:26Not worth the risk.
25:27They stood around me
25:29discussing my future
25:30like I was an object.
25:31Something to evaluate.
25:33Something to keep
25:34or discard.
25:35I felt sick with disgust.
25:38You don't get to decide for me.
25:40I'll leave on my own.
25:41I will not allow you
25:42to trample on my dignity
25:44and judge me as you please.
25:46Dad, she is my mate
25:47and she always will be.
25:48And I want her engagement
25:50to Finn cancelled immediately.
25:51The old Alpha's face
25:52darkened instantly.
25:54Do you hear yourself?
25:56I know exactly
25:56what I'm saying.
25:57And if you can't accept her,
25:59then I'll leave the pack
26:00with her.
26:01The old Alpha
26:02slapped him across the face
26:03so hard his head
26:04snapped to the side.
26:05Blood touched the corner
26:06of Wright's mouth.
26:07Have you lost your mind?
26:09His father roared.
26:11You are the Elder's
26:12chosen successor.
26:13The future Alpha
26:14of this pack.
26:16And you'd throw away
26:17your rank,
26:18your bloodline,
26:20everything
26:20for some unknown
26:22wolfless girl.
26:23You think
26:25that's worth it?
