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