00:04Every full moon, a young male wolf sneaks into the pack of the female he's got his eye on,
00:10slings her onto his back and takes off the harder she fights.
00:14The more prized she is, and he's got to give it all.
00:17He's got to make off with her.
00:19A century-old mating ritual the pack calls the Moonlit Chase.
00:25Cain, I've been waiting for you for three years.
00:32Alara, don't listen to their bullshit.
00:33You ain't worthless.
00:35Soon as I've locked down the Greycliff Alpha seat, whether you can shift or not,
00:38I'm going to carry you off under the full moon, by the old ways,
00:41and make you my one and only Luna, standing beside me, honored by every last wolf.
00:46For over a decade, my stepmother's been lacing my food with suppression herbs so I'd never awaken my wolf.
00:51They call me the Mute Wolf, the Shame of Cedar Fall.
00:54But I don't care about any of that.
00:55The only thing I care about is what you said.
00:58You're coming tonight, right?
01:06Allara, tonight's chase is about to start.
01:08Your room is too far back, hard to find.
01:11Aria's room is right by the entrance, the first thing Cain will see when he walks in.
01:17Just wait here.
01:18I'll have Aria block the door for you and keep those random male wolves out.
01:23You've always had a weak constitution since you were little.
01:25You wouldn't be able to take the rough handling from those male wolves.
01:28With Aria's help, Cain will be able to carry you off without a hitch.
01:31Don't worry, Allara.
01:33I'll definitely hold the others back for you.
01:35Cain likes you so much, he'll be the first to find you for sure.
01:39I know what you're up to, but I trust Cain.
01:44He promised me he won't mistake anyone else for me.
01:54Cain.
02:04He said, this is the token of our mate bond.
02:09When he bites his mark into the side of my neck, this bone plaque will bloom with blood-red patterns.
02:19Alpha, are we really going to just take Aria away later?
02:22Yes.
02:23She's highly fertile.
02:24I need her.
02:25What about Allara?
02:26She's still waiting.
02:27If she finds out-
02:27That shwee wolf who can't even shift?
02:29So what if she finds out the truth?
02:31What kind of trouble could she possibly cause?
02:34Just give her a dead bone plaque to keep her quiet.
02:36It's not like she can tell the difference anyway.
02:39Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
02:41Woo!
02:42Ha ha ha ha.
02:49Kain, you're finally here.
02:52Don't touch me.
02:53I'm not going with you.
02:55Ah!
02:56Aria, don't be difficult.
02:58I told you I'd come for you.
03:02Got her!
03:03The Alpha of Greycliff has taken Aria!
03:06Woo!
03:10Three years.
03:12Only to end up with a dead bone.
03:15He never planned on marrying me.
03:16He never intended to marry me.
03:19Getting close to me was just to stabilize Kang Du.
03:22To buy himself time.
03:23To secure his power.
03:24And once he was statled, a worthless wolf like me was meant to be discarded.
03:44Greycliff's Alpha passed up her.
03:46Let's crash the chase tonight.
03:47Ha ha ha ha ha.
03:52My stepmother set me up here, so this was the real trap all along.
04:09Who the hell are you?
04:10That's not how the moonlight chase works.
04:14You planned this.
04:15You're not here to claim me.
04:17You're here to kill me.
04:19Alera, you've always been such a sickly little thing.
04:23I'll make absolutely sure whoever comes for you goes easy on you.
04:34Don't bother asking who we are.
04:36You're just an abandoned mute wolf now, remember?
04:52That's why is he here.
05:20Don't bother asking who we are.
05:43Shhh. It's alright. I've been looking for you forever.
05:47You...
05:48...
05:50...
06:16Kiss, kiss, kiss!
06:43Kiss, kiss, kiss!
06:48Back then, holding that warm food, looking at your rain-soaked face, I was so sure.
06:54I thought you were the one.
06:55But now, you're carrying someone else, and you're smiling at her, just like you smiled
07:00at me back then.
07:02When did it all start to change?
07:05I think it was three years ago, the moment my father died.
07:09Allura, you've just lost your father.
07:12You look terrible.
07:13My stepmother, she has a sharp tongue.
07:16I can't bear to send you back to that.
07:18Stay here and rest.
07:19Let me go back first, settle everything, and I'll come for you.
07:22I promise.
07:24Back then, I believed you.
07:25I thought you actually cared.
07:28Later, I understood.
07:31It was all just lies.
07:32Every word of it.
07:36Aria's activities are mostly around this area.
07:38It's closer for her to stay here, just temporarily.
07:42Sister, don't overthink it.
07:43I'm just staying here temporarily.
07:44I'll move out as soon as I find a place.
07:49I didn't doubt it.
07:50Not once.
07:52I didn't know that temporary would last three years.
07:55What about Allura?
07:56If she finds out, she's going to make a scene.
07:59She's all bark and no bite.
08:00She'll get over it soon.
08:01It was just a chaotic snatch bride night, a momentary slip.
08:04She cares about me too much to truly blame me.
08:07I'll just smooth things over with her later.
08:15Lucian?
08:17Lucian?
08:19Hmm.
08:20So it really is you.
08:22You joined the trial tonight, snatching a bride?
08:26Hmm.
08:26Nice.
08:27You've always kept to yourself.
08:29I thought you'd never settle for a mate or tie yourself down.
08:32Congratulations.
08:35We're heading out.
08:39Cain, my foot.
08:41It hurts a little.
08:42I think I hurt the wound on the way here.
08:45What's wrong?
08:46Did you hurt your wound on the way here?
08:48I don't know.
08:49It just hurts.
08:50Let's go.
08:51We need to reach your place before dawn.
08:57He really didn't recognize you.
09:04Let's go.
09:05Let's go.
09:22My name is Lucian.
09:24Alpha of the Black Ridge.
09:35The Black Ridge has roamed the northern woods for generations.
09:38We are the most ferocious fighters among the three great wolf packs.
09:42Our territory is remote, cold, isolated from the world.
09:46Few outsiders ever set foot here.
09:49After I came of age, I gained a perception that sets me apart from other wolves.
09:53My sense of smell can detect something ordinary wolves cannot.
09:58The scent of a fate mark.
10:03I searched for that scent for over a decade.
10:07On you, I found it.
10:09Fate mark?
10:10He's been searching for me for over a decade.
10:14When I was very young, the elders of my pack told me that on the day the White Moon Bloodline
10:19reemerged, it would bring unparalleled prosperity to the Black Ridge.
10:23I've been waiting for that scent.
10:25I've been waiting for that scent.
10:26Waiting for 16 whole years.
10:28White Moon Bloodline?
10:30I've never heard that term before.
10:32Your birth mother came from a long extinct snowfield wolf tribe.
10:37They were the most devoted believers of the Moon Goddess.
10:40In their veins flowed the most prival blessing of the Moon.
10:44So that's it.
10:45So I'm not a born failure.
10:47I'm not a mute wolf that even the Moon Goddess refused to wake.
10:51This whole time, it was her.
10:53My stepmother.
11:06In that moment, I felt a door quietly open in my consciousness.
11:15You saw it, didn't you?
11:16That's your bloodline.
11:17It's been waiting for you.
11:20Alara, listen to me.
11:21Whether you transform or not,
11:24you are my Luna.
11:28The Moon Goddess doesn't put the wrong mate into a wolf's nose.
11:32The moment I caught your scent,
11:33I knew.
11:34You're the one I've been waiting for my entire life.
11:43This is the first time in my life
11:45someone has chosen me so firmly.
11:47The first time someone has told me
11:49I'm not worthless.
11:51That I deserve to be loved.
12:08She should be here by now.
12:10Knowing her temper,
12:11she should be charging in right about now.
12:14She'll shift into her wolf form,
12:16launch at me,
12:17claw at me,
12:17bite me,
12:18demanding to know why I took Aria,
12:20why I lied to her for three years.
12:22She'll make a scene.
12:23She'll cry.
12:24She'll be hysterical.
12:25That's fine.
12:26I can take it all.
12:27Once she's done,
12:28I'll tell her the truth.
12:30I'll give her the bone token.
12:32She'll forgive me.
12:34After all,
12:35she's loved me for three years.
12:37Alpha,
12:38everything is arranged.
12:40Kangdu didn't follow.
12:41And the elders,
12:42they've all accepted Aria's status as the new Luna.
12:45Hmm.
12:46Alpha,
12:46you've been standing there all night.
12:48Maybe get some rest?
12:48As for Allura,
12:50even if she's coming,
12:50she won't get here until daybreak.
12:59Lord Cain!
13:00Something terrible has happened!
13:02Something terrible!
13:05Where is she?
13:06Where?
13:08Miss Alara.
13:10Miss Alara.
13:11She...
13:11She was taken
13:12by the Alf of Blackridge,
13:13right on the hunting grounds last night,
13:15in front of all three great packs!
13:24What did you say?
13:25It's true.
13:26That Lucian from Blackridge,
13:28no one knows why,
13:28he suddenly broke into Aria's cave
13:30and carried Miss Alara away on his back.
13:31She was covered in blood.
13:32She didn't scream.
13:33She didn't cry.
13:34She didn't fight back.
13:35She just lay on Lucian's back,
13:36and from beginning to end,
13:37she never once looked back towards Hans Kondo.
13:40No!
13:41This can't be!
13:43This can't be!
13:44She loved me so much.
13:45She waited for me for three years.
13:47How could she leave with another man?
13:48And of all people,
13:49that ruthless,
13:50murderous Blackridge Alpha.
13:51She should hate me.
13:52She should come tear me apart.
13:53She should make me give her an explanation.
13:55But she...
13:55She didn't even look back.
13:57Not once.
14:00Cain!
14:18This is real living bone.
14:20I carved it myself.
14:23From my own rib.
14:24I thought,
14:24after she let out all her anger,
14:26I would take out the real bone token
14:27and tell her everything.
14:28I married Arya for Greyclom,
14:30for the entire northern pack.
14:31Once I took control of all the northern lands,
14:33I would welcome her back with the highest honors.
14:35Give her the only glory.
14:37The only place by my side.
14:38But she didn't even give me the chance to explain.
14:41She didn't even...
14:42looked back.
14:56It's okay.
14:58She has a fiery temper.
15:00Once she's done throwing her tantrum,
15:02she'll be fine when she calms down.
15:05I'll go bring her back.
15:32She's different from Cain.
15:33Cain was always staring at the back of my neck,
15:35at that clescent mark,
15:36waiting,
15:37hoping,
15:37that I would finally transform,
15:39that I would finally become his qualified Luna.
15:40But Lucian,
15:41he looks at me.
15:42Just me.
15:43Not the mark.
15:44Not the transformation.
15:45Just me.
15:46Whether I transform or not,
15:49in his eyes,
15:50I am just Allura.
16:02Allura.
16:19Allura.
