07:34wooo
07:47Hello?
08:03Stop right there.
08:05Mrs. Olivia.
08:08So, a small-town girl with a high school diploma who can't even tell which fork to use,
08:13what makes you think you're qualified?
08:16Quick qualified?
08:18What makes you deserve to stand by his side?
08:20It took me three years to get where I am.
08:22Three years of crisis, of staying up with him through countless nights,
08:25and you, you just lay around for a few months, spread your legs, and that's it?
08:28I never thought of it that way.
08:31Remember your place, janitor.
08:33Once your debt is paid, get the hell out of the White House.
08:37Miss Olivia, classified documents are missing from the Oval Office.
08:40What?
08:43Which thief has the guts to steal from the presidential office?
08:46Hey, babies.
08:47Mommy's home.
08:50Mommy!
08:51We got you a present.
08:53A present?
08:54What kind of present could you two little rascals have for me?
09:00For you, Mommy.
09:03Mommy!
09:05Here, take this.
09:07The presidential seal?
09:09The nuclear button briefcase?
09:11No, no!
09:19So you two are the crazy little thieves?
09:21How could you steal this stuff?
09:24We were just looking for food for Mommy.
09:27We found it in some room.
09:29This ring is so pretty, Mommy.
09:31You should wear it.
09:32Oh, no.
09:33Oh, no.
09:34We are so screwed.
09:36Code red.
09:37Locked in the White House.
09:38Search every room.
09:39Not one corner gets missed.
09:41Oh, my God.
09:42If the President finds out it was these two pups who stole it,
09:45we're done for.
09:47Mr. President,
09:48we've searched every other room in the White House.
09:49This is the last one in the maids' quarters.
09:52Open the door.
09:59There they are!
10:00Right here!
10:02Oh, my God.
10:03Caught red-handed.
10:04I'm definitely going to jail.
10:06Leah Cole,
10:07why are my presidential seal
10:08and the nuclear button briefcase in your room?
10:11Mr. President,
10:13I...
10:13I don't know anything.
10:15I went to work early this morning,
10:16and when I got back,
10:17these things were just...
10:19here.
10:20It must be the real thief.
10:21They probably realized
10:22they couldn't get out of the White House,
10:23so they dumped the stuff in my room
10:24to throw everyone off
10:25or set me up.
10:27That lie is full of holes.
10:29Your room is so remote,
10:30which thief would just happen to come here?
10:33You're obviously the one who stole it,
10:35you little lying bitch!
10:36Just tell the truth already!
10:37Ma'am, look at me!
10:38I'm just someone who cleans here.
10:39Why would I steal something like that?
10:41I've got no motive!
10:42Mr. President,
10:43don't forget,
10:44this woman already faked a pregnancy
10:46and lied to you.
10:47When she got caught,
10:48she held a grudge.
10:49I wouldn't be surprised
10:49if she's been bought off
10:50by your political enemies.
10:52That's why she stole
10:52the presidential seal
10:53and the nuclear button briefcase
10:55to set you up
10:55and destroy your reputation.
10:57Tell me,
10:58who put you up to this?
10:59Was it that wig-wearing senator next door?
11:02I swear, I didn't!
11:04Mr. President,
11:05this woman is too calculating.
11:06Keeping her around you
11:07is a ticking time bomb.
11:08I think we should charge her
11:09with espionage
11:10and throw her in prison
11:12right now.
11:13No, I'm not a spy!
11:15I swear!
11:15Then let's do it in your way.
11:23Oh my god.
11:26Get down from there!
11:28Now!
11:28That's the president!
11:30Do you have any idea
11:31about how much his shit cost?
11:38What the hell is that filthy thing?
11:43You dirty bitch!
11:45You didn't clean properly
11:46so you attracted these strays!
11:48Someone!
11:48Kill these animals!
11:49Throw them in the trash!
11:50No!
11:55Mr. President,
11:56they're just two stray dogs
11:58with nowhere to go.
11:58I felt bad for them
11:59so I've been hiding them here.
12:01They're like my own kids.
12:02I'm just a single mom
12:03trying to raise two little ones.
12:05It's hard enough.
12:05Please, don't hurt them.
12:07I swear I'll train them
12:08to use the toilet
12:08and they won't chew up your shoes!
12:12Mr. President!
12:14These are clearly wolf cubs
12:15but she's raising them like dogs.
12:17And weird thing is,
12:18holding this little guy
12:19gives me a strange feeling
12:21like I've seen him somewhere before.
12:23You really like them, huh?
12:27Well, duh!
12:29They're my kids!
12:30Of course I like them!
12:31Yes!
12:32They're adorable!
12:33Please just let me keep them!
12:35I swear they won't bite,
12:36won't make a mess,
12:37I'll even put diapers on them
12:38if I have to!
12:42Too bad they're just
12:43regular wolf pups.
12:44Wish they were werewolves.
12:46This ends here.
12:47No one speaks of this.
12:50Thank you, Mr. President.
13:02We're finally gone.
13:04You two little rascals
13:05best behave from now on.
13:07If you pull something
13:08like that again,
13:09I swear I'll hand you over
13:11to Olivia.
13:12You can be her little hand warmers.
13:27Mr. President,
13:28I checked it out.
13:29Not so strange.
13:29The woman brought them
13:30to the hospital.
13:31But where they actually came from,
13:33that I couldn't trace.
13:34No way she secretly had two puppies
13:36while she was in the hospital.
13:38So why lie?
13:40I wasn't pregnant.
13:42That wasn't a baby coming out.
13:43That was a massive,
13:45toxic, waist-level crap.
13:47One whiff,
13:48and the guy dropped like a fly.
13:53Find the doctor
13:54who delivered her baby.
13:56Yes, sir.
14:08Hey, easy now.
14:09I won't bite.
14:11But wow,
14:11I've never seen a dog
14:12as big as you before.
14:17What is that woman hiding?
14:22Mr. President,
14:23she was the one
14:23on delivery duty that day.
14:25Tell me,
14:27what did you see
14:28when that woman gave birth?
14:30I didn't see anything.
14:35Tell the truth.
14:36Okay, okay.
14:37I'll talk.
14:38I saw that she didn't
14:39give birth to a baby.
14:40She gave birth of
14:41two puppies.
14:43And then
14:45I passed out from shock.
14:47You're saying
14:48she gave birth to
14:49two wolf pops?
14:50Yes, I swear.
14:51Every word is true.
14:52I've never seen a woman
14:53give birth to puppies before.
14:55So that's it.
14:57Yesterday was so weird.
14:58Stealing the presidential seal
14:59and the nuclear button briefcase
15:01is supposed to be
15:01a one-way ticket to prison.
15:02But he totally let me off.
15:04And he even touched my pups.
15:05Maybe he likes dogs too?
15:07Get the cages ready.
15:08I'm getting those mutts
15:09out of the White House today.
15:18Quick, hide.
15:25What are kids' dishes doing here?
15:27Those are for feeding my dogs.
15:29Feeding dogs?
15:30With people's dishes?
15:32Leah Cole,
15:33this is the White House,
15:34not your trailer park.
15:36Now hand over those mutts.
15:37The president said
15:38I could keep them.
15:40The president runs a country.
15:41You think he remembers
15:42some low-life stray dogs?
15:45Search the place.
15:47Find those little beasts.
15:48I'm throwing them out myself.
15:56Stop!
15:57The president said
15:58I could keep them.
15:59You can't...
16:01Out of my way!
16:07You think I don't know
16:08what you're doing?
16:09Playing the poor girl
16:11with two dogs
16:12so the president
16:12takes notice of you?
16:14Let me tell you something.
16:15You're not even fit
16:16to tie his shoes.
16:19There you little bastards are!
16:23Grab them.
16:26Stray dogs dare to bite-bite?
16:28Kill them!
16:29Do it now!
16:32No!
16:34Hit her.
16:47Don't move.
16:48You forgot what you promised
16:50Mommy yesterday.
16:53Promise me.
16:55Never shift in front of anyone else
16:57or it'll bring trouble to us.
17:00Okay, Mommy.
17:04What are you waiting for?
17:06Pull those little beasts out!
17:09No!
17:10Don't hurt my kids!
17:13Kids?
17:14What kids?
17:20Leah Cole,
17:21have you lost your mind
17:22wanting to be first ladies
17:23so bad
17:24you actually think
17:25two stray dogs
17:26are your kids?
17:27you can't have a real baby
17:28so you're raising mutts
17:30as substitutes?
17:31You're disgusting!
17:32You'd throw away
17:33every shred of dignity
17:34just to be first lady?
17:37You scheming little bitch.
17:39I'm not letting you stick around.
17:42I'm gonna make you watch
17:43these little beasts die.
17:45Throw these stray dogs
17:46in the cage
17:46and kill them!
17:57Don't be scared.
17:59Mommy's here.
18:00What are you waiting for?
18:01Hit her too!
18:02Beat her until she stops moving!
18:16I'd like to see anyone
18:18touch her.
18:28Mr. President.
18:30Mr. President,
18:31what brings you here?
18:32This place is beneath you.
18:33Olivia, you've got some nerve.
18:34I made it clear
18:35she's allowed to keep
18:35these two here.
18:36Why do you bring people
18:37to hurt them?
18:38Mr. President,
18:39you misunderstand.
18:40I was worried about rabies.
18:41What if they pose a risk to you?
18:42I was just going to have them
18:43checked out
18:44and bring them back.
18:47She's lying.
18:49She just wanted
18:49to kill my dogs.
18:50Sorry I'm late.
19:00These two are cleaner
19:00than the bottom of your shoes.
19:22Oh my God.
19:23The President?
19:24The President is holding me?
19:26What kind of script is this?
19:28He saved me?
19:30And he's being...
19:31gentle?
19:32Am I hallucinating
19:33from getting beat up?
19:36Olivia, since you care so much
19:37about the pets running
19:38around the White House,
19:39security's looking for someone
19:40to walk the dogs.
19:41You'd be perfect.
19:42Mr. President,
19:43I just didn't think it through.
19:44But I was only worried
19:46about your safety.
19:47You too.
19:47Are you here to protect me
19:49or are you Olivia's
19:49personal bodyguards?
19:51Mr. President, we...
19:52If you can't figure out
19:53who signs your checks,
19:54I'll send you somewhere
19:54you'll learn fast.
19:56They're short on people
19:57in the Middle East.
19:57You leave tomorrow.
19:59See what a real field
20:00assignment looks like.
20:01Mr. President,
20:02we're sorry.
20:03Please, give us another chance.
20:05Mr. President,
20:06this young lady has
20:07extensive bruising
20:07and contusions on her back.
20:09I've already disinfected
20:10the area,
20:10just needs oint
20:11applied regularly.
20:12I'll do it.
20:18Um, maybe I should
20:20just do it myself?
20:21I mean, your hands
20:22are for signing treaties,
20:23not for...
20:25Oh my God!
20:26The President just touched me!
20:27Why is he being so nice to me?
20:29We've only known each other
20:30for a few days.
20:31Is he...
20:31Is he up to something?
20:38I promise you,
20:40what happened today
20:40will never happen again.
20:42Thank you for saving me,
20:43Mr. President.
20:46Come in!
20:48Mr. President,
20:49about what happened today,
20:51it was my mistake.
20:52I hope you can forgive me.
20:54Olivia,
20:54I've never doubted your work.
20:56But you need to understand,
20:58my personal life
20:59is none of your business.
21:02Yes, sir.
21:03From today on,
21:04Leah Cole is no longer
21:05a cleaner.
21:06Move her into the room
21:07next to mine.
21:08What?
21:09And one more thing.
21:11The White House
21:12Correspondents' Dinner
21:12is the day after tomorrow.
21:14Leah will attend
21:14as my girlfriend.
21:15We're making it official.
21:16Girlfriend?
21:17Girlfriend?
21:18Mr. President?
21:20This...
21:20This isn't right.
21:21I'm just a cleaner.
21:22I...
21:24No one deserves it
21:25more than you.
21:26What is wrong with this man?
21:28Did someone drug him?
21:29I mean,
21:30okay, he's hot
21:30and the body's not bad,
21:31but this is too fast.
21:32I am not ready for this.
21:34Mr. President,
21:34every major media outlet
21:36will be at that dinner.
21:37Announcing a surrogate
21:37as your girlfriend
21:38out of nowhere
21:39is reckless.
21:39If they dig into her background,
21:41your reputation...
21:42Then this is a test
21:42of your public relations skills,
21:43Olivia.
21:44I'm sure you'll do a great job
21:45at the dinner party.
21:49Too bad he doesn't know.
21:50These two little ones
21:51are his own flesh and blood.
21:53Only these two pups
21:54are truly mine.
21:55None of those women
21:56bore my seed,
21:58but no one can know
21:59I'm a werewolf.
22:00Their real identity
22:01has to stay hidden for now.
22:09Miss Cole,
22:10this is your room.
22:11If you need anything,
22:12just call me.
22:20Okay, come out, babies.
22:26Oh my god, babies.
22:34Kids?
22:34You're sure the maid heard right?
22:36Positive.
22:37Two kids,
22:37four or five years old,
22:38called her mommy.
22:40Oh, got it.
22:41This bitch makes a living
22:42by spreading her legs
22:43for surrogacy.
22:44Those brats are probably
22:45leftovers from some job.
22:46Baby data ran off.
22:47No one wanted them,
22:48so she got stuck with them.
22:49Then we should tell the president.
22:50Let him know she's got
22:51two kids in tow.
22:52He'll dump her for sure.
22:53That's too easy for her.
22:54Tomorrow is the White House
22:56Correspondents' Dinner.
22:57Every media outlet
22:58in the country will be there.
22:59I'm going to destroy her
23:00in front of everyone.
23:02She'll crawl out
23:02of the White House
23:03in shame.
23:05Mommy's going to a dinner tonight.
23:07You two stay here,
23:09sleep tight,
23:10and no sneaking out.
23:11Got it?
23:12Got it, Mommy.
23:14Bye-bye, Mommy.
23:20Mr. President,
23:22we hear you're announcing
23:23something big tonight.
23:24Any hints?
23:25You'll know soon enough.
23:37Who is she?
23:38I don't remember any first lady
23:39looking that young and gorgeous.
23:41Maybe some European princess?
23:42She's got that kind of vibe.
23:43Whoever she is,
23:44tomorrow's front page is locked.
24:00You look stunning tonight.
24:01Shall we dance?
24:06Mr. President,
24:07I don't know how.
24:09Just follow my lead.
24:16The President is
24:18dancing with her?
24:19This is huge.
24:29No, no, no.
24:30Snap out of it, Leah.
24:31He's the President.
24:32Half the women in America
24:33would could kill to marry him.
24:35What makes you think
24:35a small-town janitor
24:36even stands a chance?
24:38Get a grip.
24:40Allow me to introduce
24:41my girlfriend,
24:42Leah Cole.
24:48He actually said it.
24:53Mr. President,
24:55what's Ms. Cole's background?
24:56How long have you two
24:57been together?
24:58How did you meet?
25:01Don't be afraid.
25:04My girlfriend is an ordinary girl.
25:06No noble background,
25:07no complicated past.
25:08She's clean.
25:08She's simple.
25:09I don't want my position
25:10to affect our relationship.
25:11I'm counting on all of you.
25:12Please,
25:13leave her alone.
25:16Ms. Cole,
25:17do you feel pressure
25:18being the President's girlfriend?
25:21I...
25:22How many boyfriends
25:23have you had before?
25:25I've never dated anyone.
25:27So that means
25:27the President
25:28is your first love.
25:34Sorry to interrupt you,
25:36Mr. President,
25:37but there are two children
25:37at the door.
25:38They say they're looking
25:39for their mother.
25:40I wasn't sure how to handle it
25:41because the person
25:42they're looking for,
25:43I didn't dare stop them.
25:47My babies.
25:52I stared wide-eyed,
25:54frozen in fear.
25:55Father,
25:56Alpha Heart,
25:57had pupupils glowing
25:58like molten fire,
25:59baring his fangs
26:00as he lunged
26:01at his brother Damien.
26:03Only fierce snars
26:04filled the air.
26:05This was a cruel fight
26:07for the Alpha Throne,
26:08and the silver moonlight
26:10had long been stained red.
26:13Their powers collided.
26:15A shockwave
26:15ripped through the trees.
26:17Damien's body
26:18flied backwards,
26:19slammed into a boulder,
26:20and slided down,
26:22unconscious.
26:23My father stumbled.
26:25He dropped to one knee,
26:26gasping.
26:27Blood poured
26:28from deep wounds
26:29across his chest
26:30and arms.
26:32Daddy!
26:36Then,
26:37I stumbled
26:38out of the bushes
26:39and fell into
26:40my father's arms.
26:42He was weak,
26:43stroked my hair.
26:45Don't cry,
26:46my little moon.
26:48For the pack's peace,
26:50this is worth it.
26:52From now on,
26:53hide your name.
26:54Go with Beta Cole.
26:56He'll protect you.
26:58He gently pushed me away.
27:00Beta Cole lifted me.
27:02I cried out
27:03for my father.
27:04No!
27:05Daddy!
27:07Alpha Heart smiled.
27:09Eyes closed.
27:09A silver light
27:11emanated from his body,
27:13flooding the forest.
27:14My dad's last strength
27:16becomes a barrier
27:17to protect our pack
27:18and me.
27:18Thus,
27:19my wolf will stay sealed
27:20until 16.
27:22Later,
27:23I came to the Cole family.
27:25They treated me
27:25like their own,
27:26especially Adrian.
27:28On that day,
27:29sunlight glinted
27:29through the trees.
27:31Beta Cole carried me
27:32from the car.
27:33At the gate,
27:33Adrian,
27:34who was 8 years old,
27:35ran towards us.
27:36He was gentle.
27:38Hi,
27:39I'm Adrian Cole.
27:40Dad said I have
27:41a little sister now.
27:42That's you?
27:43Selena.
27:45I'm Selena.
27:46Cole.
27:47Then I'll call you Lena.
27:49I'll protect you.
27:51I nodded,
27:52smiled through tears,
27:54our hands clasped tightly.
27:55I also remembered that day.
27:57My birthday in this home,
27:59Adrian placed a crystal crown
28:00on my head
28:01and kissed my cheek.
28:02Happy birthday,
28:03my princess.
28:04I closed my eyes
28:05and made a wish.
28:06I wish Adrian would be here.
28:08Every birthday.
28:10Always.
28:11One day,
28:12I was cornered
28:12by wolf boys,
28:14trembling with tears.
28:15You think a human
28:17can join us?
28:18Dream on!
28:20Adrian came charging
28:21from a distance
28:22and shoved the boys
28:23away fiercely.
28:24Touch my sister again?
28:27I'll rip out your throats.
28:29All of you!
28:30His eyes flashed gold,
28:32then wolf boys froze.
28:34They scrambled away,
28:35tripped over each other.
28:38Adrian and I run
28:39through tall grass,
28:40laughing,
28:41out of breath.
28:42We collapsed,
28:43side by side,
28:45hands clasped,
28:46stared up at the moon.
28:47Selina,
28:48even if you're a human,
28:49my Luna could only be you.
28:51When I went to school,
28:52I wore the school uniform
28:53and stood beside the car.
28:55Adrian opened the car door
28:57and gently pulled me close
28:58to kiss my hair.
29:00Lena,
29:01the seat next to me
29:02will always be yours.
29:03I thought this happiness
29:04would last forever,
29:05until that girl,
29:06Lyra's shadow appeared.
29:07The happy memories
29:08flashed backward,
29:09faster and faster.
29:10My snap to reality.
29:12I opened the passenger door
29:13of the luxury car.
29:15Lyra leaned against Adrian,
29:16laughed softly.
29:17Why is she coming home with us?
29:20Lyra's not feeling well,
29:21I'm just dropping her off.
29:23Adrian was impatient,
29:24as Lyra shot me a look,
29:26poison.
29:26A smirk curled her lips.
29:28Then she draped herself
29:29around Adrian's neck,
29:30played weak.
29:31You said the seat next to you
29:34would always be mine.
29:35Childish.
29:36It's just a seat.
29:37Take the back today.
29:38Adrian gestured with his chin.
29:41I opened the back door.
29:44I gasped in pain.
29:46Blood seeped from my foot.
29:49Adrian!
29:50Walk home yourself.
29:51Don't make a scene.
29:57Suddenly,
29:58raindrops falled.
29:59Then a downpour.
30:01I hugged myself,
30:03shivered,
30:04stared at my bleeding foot
30:05with hollow eyes.
30:06Rain mixes with blood.
30:08My eyes fluttered closed.
30:11When I woke up again,
30:12I slowly opened my eyes.
30:14An IV drip ran into my arm.
30:17Then,
30:18Adrian rushed into the room
30:19in a panic.
30:20Adrian still cares about me.
30:22I thought.
30:22I sit up slightly,
30:23warmth flickered in my chest.
30:25Adrian had already at my bedside.
30:27His eyes burned with rage.
30:28So you told my dad Lyra pushed you.
30:30And now you fake being sick?
30:32You're the worst, Celine.
30:33I freezed.
30:34Before I could explain,
30:36Adrian grabbed my arm
30:37and yanked me out of bed.
30:38Wait!
30:39Adrian!
30:40I gasped as the needle
30:42ripped out of my arm.
30:43The IV tube whipped through the air.
30:46Blood beaded instantly on my skin.
30:48I stumbled and fall to my knees in pain.
30:51A streak of red ran down my arm.
30:53Adrian's anger cracked just for a moment.
30:56He stared at the wound.
30:57His breath catches.
30:59His fingers trickled slightly
31:00and almost reached for me.
31:01Selina.
31:03I'm...
31:03Adrian!
31:04Help!
31:05Adrian froze for half a second.
31:07Then his face hardened again.
31:09Lyra!
31:10He ran out urgently
31:11without a second glance at me.
31:13I clutched my bleeding arm,
31:15forced myself up,
31:17paled and tribbled.
31:18I followed him,
31:19limped, stumbled.
31:20Lyra was bound to the sofa.
31:22Tears streamed down her face.
31:23Fresh whip marked
31:24cover her arms and shoulders.
31:26Beta Cole stood over her.
31:27Whipped in hand,
31:28feared radiating from him.
31:29He raised the whip.
31:30Adrian bursted in
31:31and throwed himself
31:31in front of his father.
31:32Dad! Stop!
31:33Lyra's too fragile!
31:34Kill her!
31:35And step back!
31:36This is punishment for her!
31:37It's all my fault!
31:39Don't think I won't hit you, boy.
31:43The whip cracked down
31:44again and again.
31:45I stood in the doorway,
31:46watched.
31:48Grief tightened my face.
31:50My hands curled into fists.
31:52Beta Cole didn't stop
31:53until he sensed my watching.
31:55He looked at me,
31:56then gave a slight bow.
31:57Adrian seethed with resentment,
31:59turned on his father
32:00in a low, bitter voice.
32:01Why do you treat her like this?
32:03Ever since she came,
32:04our Alpha's gone
32:05and we've been hunted.
32:06She is a curse!
32:07Shut up, Adrian.
32:08You have no idea
32:09who you're talking to?
32:11Beta Cole dropped the whip
32:12and gestured for me to follow.
32:14We walked toward the study room.
32:16A tear traced silver
32:17down my cheek.
32:18Warm light filled the study.
32:20Surrounded by ancient books,
32:22I looked at Beta.
32:23Princess,
32:24we talked about you
32:25leaving or staying.
32:27I will leave for the trials,
32:29become Alpha,
32:30inherit my father's will,
32:32and protect our pack.
32:33Impressive.
32:34Truly,
32:35you are the daughter
32:36of Alpha Heart.
32:37I lowered my head slightly,
32:39nervous but unwavering.
32:40Once your status is restored,
32:42you will no longer enjoy
32:43the life of an ordinary person.
32:45You'll bear far greater responsibility.
32:47Responsibility will make me happier.
32:49I used to think Adrian
32:50would give me a normal life,
32:52a simple happiness.
32:53But everything changed.
32:57I apologize for my son.
32:59I don't mind.
33:02Next week,
33:03you turn 16.
33:04You will awaken as an Alpha.
33:06You will have your own wolf.
33:08I'll arrange your leave from school.
33:09You'll go to the training camp
33:11for Alpha initiation.
33:13And you will become a brave Alpha,
33:15just like your father.
33:18For everything.
33:19Then I walked slowly out of the study,
33:21calm but filled with quiet strength.
33:23The moment I stepped out,
33:25Adrian appeared,
33:26pinned me against the wall.
33:27We stood inches apart.
33:29You!
33:30Jealousy!
33:31Hatred!
33:31Why are you targeting Laya?
33:33Because you think she's stealing
33:34my attention from you?
33:35I looked up,
33:36met his eyes.
33:37I let out a small laugh,
33:39cold and distant.
33:41Adrian,
33:42not everything is about you.
33:44Adrian froze,
33:46a few seconds of silence.
33:47He stepped closer,
33:49fisted clenching slightly,
33:50his voice raw with anger,
33:52and something else.
33:53Enough!
33:54If you want my attention,
33:56then be nice to Lyra.
33:57She cries every night because of you.
33:59I shook my head,
34:00my gaze steady.
34:03Everything changed.
34:04I am no longer the girl
34:06you thought you knew.
34:07Done waiting,
34:09done hoping,
34:11for the boy I love to see me.
34:13Adrian stood frozen,
34:15speechless.
34:16I gently pushed past him
34:18and walked away,
34:19steady,
34:20unharried,
34:21and resolute.
34:24I walked into the empty locker room alone.
34:27I looked down at my injured foot,
34:30gently touched it.
34:31The wound seeped slightly,
34:32but my eyes,
34:34unwavering.
34:35Once I regain the power of Alpha,
34:37I will be able to heal myself.
34:39Suddenly,
34:40sharp giggles from outside,
34:42followed by the click of heels on the floor.
34:44Lyra appeared in the doorway with two followers,
34:46each step slow and deliberate.
34:49Well, well,
34:50look who's finally showing up.
34:52Bastard!
34:52Just a useless waste!
34:54One of the girl mocked.
34:55The three girls closed in,
34:57backed me into a corner by the lockers.
34:58My back hit the wall.
35:00My expression stayed calm,
35:01but my shoulder tense slightly.
35:04Another girl yanked my backpack.
35:07Look at those shoes.
35:09They are screaming for help.
35:11Too bad you can't.
35:13They tugged at my uniform.
35:15The fabric tears,
35:16exposed my shoulder.
35:18Lyra stepped closer,
35:20smirk still in place.
35:21She pulled a pen from her pocket,
35:23clicked it,
35:24and moved in.
35:25Bitch,
35:26I'm gonna give you back everything I suffered last night.
35:29Every bit of it.
35:32Then,
35:32she jabbed the pen tip into my shoulder.
35:35Suddenly,
35:36the silver mark on my wrist began to glow.
35:38The air ripples.
35:40Locker doors rattled gently.
35:43Books slid off shelves.
35:45A pulse of energy blasted outward.
35:47The girls stumbled back,
35:48crashed into the lockers,
35:49shrieked.
35:51Lyra doubled over,
35:52then looked up in terror.
35:53I stepped forward slowly,
35:55calmly.
35:56I reached out and gripped Lyra's chin.
35:59From now on,
36:01no one touches me without permission.
36:04Especially you,
36:05Lyra.
36:07Lyra shoved my hand away,
36:09trembled.
36:10Suddenly,
36:10Adrian bursted in,
36:12throat himself between Lyra and I.
36:13Stay back,
36:14Selene!
36:15What the hell are you doing?
36:19See?
36:20She's doing it again!
36:21She's always bullying me!
36:23Adrian hesitated for half a second,
36:25then bought it.
36:26He whirled on me.
36:28There you go again!
36:29It's always you,
36:30isn't it?
36:31Stirring up trouble wherever you go!
36:34I inhaled slowly.
36:36A cold,
36:37bitter smile tugged at my lips.
36:39I shook my head.
36:40How could I ever?
36:42Like an idiot like you?
36:43Heard that.
36:44Adrian's face dartened.
36:46Lyra's father died protecting this pack.
36:48She's a hero's daughter.
36:49You?
36:50You're just some human girl.
36:51If my dad hadn't taken you in,
36:52you'd be dead long ago.
36:53My hands clenched into fists.
36:55My eyes reddened.
36:57I trembled,
36:57but not from fear.
36:59Lyra's father was a traitor.
37:00He tried to take the alpha position.
37:02My father fought him to save the pack,
37:04but I can't tell anyone.
37:05Who'd believe me?
37:06I took a deep breath.
37:08I moved to leave,
37:08but Adrian blocked my path with his arm out.
37:10Selene,
37:11apologize to Lyra.
37:12Now!
37:13I stopped and met his eyes.
37:14Impossible.
37:15Adrian's browed titans.
37:17He stepped closer.
37:18Voice dropped to a low threat.
37:19I don't beat girls,
37:22but...
37:22If you dare touch me,
37:24you cannot bear that responsibility.
37:26I raised my arm,
37:27pulled up my sleeve,
37:28my pant leg,
37:29revealed scars,
37:31bruises,
37:31wounds,
37:32layered over time.
37:34Adrian's eyes went wide.
37:35Who did this?
37:37Who hurts you?
37:39Lyra,
37:39she did this.
37:40She tortures me all the years.
37:42Why are you always so mean to me?
37:46I...
37:46I didn't do anything!
37:48A sad, quiet smile crossed my face.
37:50There's no anger left.
37:52Everything is gone.
37:54Adrian,
37:55you forgot your promises,
37:56our happy times,
37:57all gone.
37:58It's injured.
37:59Let me carry you.
38:00Let me go.
38:02I can walk myself.
38:04After said that,
38:04I turned to leave.
38:05But Adrian lifted me anyway.
38:08Firm,
38:09yet gentle.
38:10I struggled for a moment,
38:12then still.
38:14I rested against him,
38:16my expression unreadable.
38:18Lyra watched from the side.
38:21Jealousy twisted her face.
38:23Rage burns in her eyes.
38:26Bitch,
38:28I'm not done with you.
38:29I was lying on a bed.
38:31An IV dripped in my arm.
38:33I looked pale.
38:34Adrian sat beside me,
38:36holding my hand.
38:37I pulled away.
38:38He took it again.
38:39The fluid's cold.
38:40Let me warm your hand.
38:42I turned my head away,
38:44stopped fighting it.
38:45A single tear fell.
38:48Adrian's phone rang.
38:49He stood,
38:50gently touched my forehead.
38:52Be right back.
38:52His voice soft.
38:54He left.
38:55I closed my eyes,
38:56sighing.
38:57Lyra slipped into the room,
38:58a smirk on her face.
39:00My eyes snapped open.
39:01I jerked up in bed,
39:03alarmed.
39:03Lyra?
39:04What are you doing here?
39:06Lyra's smile widened.
39:07She moved closer.
39:09Her fingers hovered over the IV line.
39:11Her eyes glinted,
39:12unhinged,
39:13daring.
39:14My breath quickened.
39:15I gripped the sheet,
39:16eyes wary.
39:17Lyra yanked the needle out of my arm.
39:20Fluid spattered the bed.
39:22In one swift move,
39:24Lyra plunged the needle into her own chest.
39:26Blood seeped through her shirt.
39:28Her face twisted in pain,
39:30but there's a sick satisfaction in her eyes.
39:32The door burst open.
39:34Adrian stormed in,
39:35took in the scene,
39:36rage in his eyes.
39:38Lyra!
39:39He rushed to her,
39:40pulled her into his arms,
39:41shielded her.
39:42Lyra's expression shifted instantly.
39:44Her eyes welled up.
39:46Selina,
39:47please don't hurt me.
39:49I know I was wrong.
39:50I won't take anything from you ever again.
39:53I just,
39:54I just wanted a place to belong.
39:56I froze.
39:57Fear and disbelief surged through me.
39:59My hands curled into fists,
40:01breathing hard.
40:02Adrian gritted his teeth.
40:04You!
40:05Are you out of your mind?
40:07He stepped forward and slapped me.
40:09Hard.
40:10The crack echoed in the small room.
40:12My head snapped to the side.
40:14I touched my cheek,
40:15stunned.
40:15Who's his real sister anyway?
40:19Told you.
40:20Selina's just a foster kid.
40:21A human.
40:23My cheek reddened.
40:24But I still stayed.
40:26Didn't fight back.
40:28Adrian hesitated,
40:29then stepped closer.
40:30Selina,
40:31I,
40:32I'm sorry.
40:34No need.
40:36Don't tell my dad.
40:37Originally,
40:38he was only scared Lyra would get in trouble.
40:40Fine.
40:41I won't.
40:42But now,
40:43please,
40:44leave.
40:44I need to rest.
40:45I lifted a hand,
40:47gestured them out.
40:48They exchanged a glance,
40:49then exited.
40:50Five days,
40:51then I'm gone.
40:52No more memories here.
40:54None.
40:56I opened my locker.
40:58Inside hangs a silver blue gown.
41:00A note.
41:01For tonight.
41:03Okay.
41:04One last dance before goodbye.
41:06At night,
41:07Beta Cole watched me zip a small suitcase.
41:10Are you sure you don't want to tell Adrian
41:11there's that dance tomorrow?
41:13I'll be there.
41:15I'll tell him who I am.
41:16Before the last dance.
41:18Only one day left before leaving.
41:20Grand Hall.
41:21I entered in the silver blue gown.
41:23They exclaimed in amazement.
41:27Wait,
41:28is that the Cole family cresp?
41:29That dress is custom made.
41:31But,
41:32I thought Lyra was supposed to be his date.
41:34What's Selina doing with it?
41:35Across the room,
41:37Lyra washed in red.
41:39Jealousy burned.
41:41Cute dress, Selina.
41:43Too bad it was never meant for you.
41:45If you want it,
41:47it's yours.
41:48Lyra's smile cracked.
41:49She grabbed scissors,
41:51slashed her own gown,
41:52and screamed.
41:53Selina?
41:53How could you?
41:54First you steal the dress Adrian gave me,
41:56and now you destroy mine too?
41:58When will it be enough?
42:01Adrian entered the Grand Hall and found me with a mask.
42:05He approached excitedly and extended his hand.
42:08May I have this dance?
42:10Lyra looked up with a trembling smile.
42:12Of course.
42:13Adrian led Le in a twirling dance across the dance floor.
42:16Out said,
42:17rain pounded me.
42:19I stumbled away from school.
42:21Shaked.
42:22My palm flickers light pulsed beneath the skin.
42:24Not now.
42:25Please.
42:27Beta said someone's waiting for me at the gate.
42:29I just have to make it.
42:30I gripped a lamppost.
42:32Electricity crackled along my arm.
42:35The light,
42:36above my bursts.
42:38I cried out.
42:39Eyes glowed.
42:40At this time,
42:40a figure emerged from the rain.
42:42Adrian checked his watch.
42:4311.55 p.m.
42:45He pulled out a small velvet box.
42:47Opened it.
42:48A diamond pendant glowed inside.
42:50Five more minutes.
42:51Until I can finally say it.
42:53He thought.
42:55Bells began to chime.
42:56Midnight.
42:57Adrian reached for Lyra's mask and lifted it.
43:00Light hit her face.
43:02Lyra?
43:05The knight leaned close to my neck.
43:07His eyes glowed red gradually.
43:09His brows furrowed as if he was enduring something.
43:11His lips brushed against my skin.
43:14His voice was low and roughed.
43:16You shouldn't be alone tonight.
43:18The hard burge beneath his crotch pressed tightly against my bare skin as night let out a low,
43:23raggled breath.
43:24He took hold of my wrist, the one bearing the mark, and gently stroked it to my left breast.
43:30Our wrist marks ignited.
43:32In an instant, heat exploded up my arm.
43:35I let out a startled cry.
43:37My eyes flew wide open.
43:38A strange silver light flickered within them.
43:40I clenched my legs tightly, trembled uncontrollably.
43:43A vacious liquid dampened my panties, trickled slowly down my thighs.
43:47The silver and red light erupted from their marks, twisted and coiled together.
43:51I can taste your smell.
43:53You're completely mine now.
43:55Knight hay-hilled sharply against my neck.
43:57When the light faded, I was shaking in his arms.
44:01What did you do to me?
44:02You're wet because you chose me.
44:05You claimed me, and I claimed you.
44:11Maybe I should just call you mate.
44:13Say my name, Knight.
44:17I was lost in passion.
44:19My breath stuttered.
44:22Knight guided my hand down to my inner thigh, brushed it through my slip arousal, then lifted
44:28it to his lips, and gently licked my fingers.
44:33Adrian stared at Lyra, the mask in his hand.
44:36His face crumbled.
44:39Where's Selina?
44:40He asked.
44:42Lyra reached for him.
44:43Panic flashed across her face.
44:45He pulled back.
44:46He turned and burst through the doors into the rain.
44:50Adrian, don't leave me.
44:52Wasn't I the one you wanted?
44:53Her voice broke.
44:55Adrian jumped on his motorcycle.
44:58Headlights cut through rain.
44:59He saw us.
45:00A figure placed me into an SUV.
45:05Selina!
45:06Don't go!
45:07Selina!
45:08Knight glanced back, then looked away.
45:11The SUV pulled away.
45:13Adrian gunned the engine and skidded to a stop, but the taillights were already disappearing.
45:17He leaped off the bike and ran after them, but we were gone.
45:21He fell to his knees and slammed his fists into the wet pavement, again and again.
45:26Selina!
45:30I sat at the long table surrounded by warriors.
45:33Raw meat piled up before me.
45:35Warrior's eyes cut toward me, cold and contemptuous.
45:38Human food?
45:40She can't even shift.
45:42Weakest Luna we've ever had.
45:43My hands curled in my lap.
45:45His voice cut through the hall like a blade.
45:48She is my mate.
45:49You're Luna.
45:51Show your respect.
45:52Knight gestured.
45:53Servants appeared with handcakes, eggs, bacon.
45:56They set the plates before me.
45:58We followed you for strength.
46:00Not to serve a fragile child.
46:02One of the warriors said.
46:04Knight's eyes gleamed.
46:05Next quarter's trials, she enters the competition.
46:09Shock rippled through the hall.
46:10She'll die.
46:12No.
46:13She'll win.
46:14And when she does, you will kneel to your Luna.
46:17All of you.
46:19Knight looked at me.
46:20I lifted my head.
46:22Silver flickered in my eyes.
46:24See you in the arena.
46:28Morning after morning.
46:30Knight put me through drills.
46:32Relentless.
46:33Unforgiving.
46:33I ran until my legs burned.
46:36I was spared until my body aches.
46:38I fell again and again.
46:40Each time, Knight watched.
46:42Cold and unmoving.
46:44One afternoon, I lunged at him.
46:46He sidestepped and came into the mat in one fluid motion.
46:50I gasped, trapped beneath him.
46:52Again.
46:53He said.
46:54I pushed up.
46:55My knee scraped the mat.
46:57Blood welled from the wound.
46:58I was breathless.
47:00I can keep going.
47:03Concern flickered in his eyes.
47:04He stopped me.
47:06He released me and stood.
47:07A servant approached with a small plate.
47:10Cream cake.
47:11Knight took it and lowered himself to one knee in front of me between my thighs.
47:15Kids heal faster with sugar.
47:17I'm not a kid.
47:18My face flushed.
47:20He cut a piece and held the fork to my lips.
47:23I hesitated, then leaned forward and took the bite.
47:26As the fork slid out, a smear of cream lingered at the corner of my mouth,
47:30and my tongue flicked out to catch another dab on my lip.
47:33He watched my mouth, then reached up and dragged his thumb slowly across lower lip,
47:37gathered the cream.
47:38His thumb lingered at my lip, pressed just enough to part them.
47:41Don't waste.
47:42He said.
47:43I ticked my thumb slowly, shivered.
47:46Good girl.
47:47I lowered my gaze, cheeks flushed.
48:02Ready?
48:04I was born ready.
48:13Please, Stella!
48:16Please, Stella!
48:18Please, Stella!
48:31Take me to night, Knight.
48:40Every night, for the rest of my life.
48:48Adrian burst through the door.
48:50Beta Cole looked up.
48:51Please, just tell me where Selene is.
48:54Let her go.
48:55Adrian, Serene has her own path to follow.
48:59I'm not giving up.
49:01Adrian turned and walked out of the room.
49:04The day was coming.
49:05Thousands of wolves packed the stands.
49:07Their voices rose in a deafening roar.
49:09Look at her, the human Luna.
49:12A wolf shouted.
49:13She won't last a minute.
49:15Another wolf said.
49:17Night stood rigid, arms crossed.
49:19His jaw tightened as he watched me step into the ring alone.
49:22I faced my opponent, a massive wolf twice my size.
49:26Muscles coiling under scarred fur.
49:29He circled me, hungry.
49:30I raised my fists.
49:32He lunged.
49:33I dodged.
49:34But his claw caught my arm.
49:36Blood sprayed.
49:37I hit the ground hard.
49:39Pathetic.
49:40Send her home!
49:41A wolf laughed.
49:42I pushed up.
49:44The wolf struck again.
49:45I flew backward.
49:47Skidded across the sand.
49:49Blood pooled beneath me.
49:51Night took a step forward.
49:52The high priest blocked him.
49:54You interfere.
49:55She loses everything.
49:57Night's hands gripped the railing.
49:59His knuckles went white.
50:00In the ring.
50:01I struggled to my knees.
50:03Then my feet.
50:04One inch at a time.
50:06My legs shook.
50:07But I stood.
50:08The wolf charged for the final blow.
50:10Then a sound tore from my chest.
50:13Not human.
50:14Something ancient.
50:15A howl that shook the arena.
50:17White light exploded outward, blinding.
50:20The wolf skidded to a halt.
50:22Wimpered.
50:22When the light faded, a massive white wolf stood in the ring.
50:26Fur was like snow.
50:28Eyes were like burning silver.
50:29The opponent snarled and lunged.
50:32The white wolf moved faster than anything alive.
50:35Jaws closed on the attacker's throat.
50:37A single shake.
50:38He flew across the arena and lay still.
50:41White wolf.
50:42That's royal blood.
50:44An elder wolf said with voice trembling.
50:46One by one, the wolves lowered themselves, nailed and pressed their foreheads to the ground.
50:51Then all wolves charged.
50:53Luna!
50:53Luna!
50:54Luna!
50:55The light shimmered and faded.
50:57I stood again, human now wrapped in cloth.
51:00Trembled but alive, night descended into the ring.
51:03He walked to me.
51:04Took my hand and lifted it high for everyone to see.
51:07A motorcycle ripped through the arena gates.
51:10Adrian jumped off and stubbled toward me.
51:12His face pale.
51:13Serene, you're a wolf.
51:20Adrian rushed toward me.
51:22You're a wolf?
51:23How?
51:24You were human.
51:25You've always been.
51:26He reached for me.
51:27Come home with me.
51:29I'll protect you.
51:30Night stepped between us.
51:31Protect her.
51:32You didn't even know what she was.
51:34Adrian frozen.
51:36He stared at me.
51:38Something about me was different.
51:41The way I held myself.
51:42The light in my eyes.
51:44Like a queen.
51:45What happened?
51:46She awakened.
51:48She's a white wolf.
51:49Your moon packs alpha.
51:51Night said coldly.
51:52The words hit like a blow.
51:55Adrian's face pales.
51:56Sylvine, I know I don't deserve you now.
51:59But I searched for you for three months.
52:01I never stopped.
52:03I met his eyes calmly.
52:05Lyra is your mate, Adrian.
52:06Not me.
52:08Adrian staggered like I struck him.
52:10Then let me prove it.
52:11A duel.
52:13Winner takes her home.
52:14Wolf warrior leaned forward.
52:16Night's eyes narrowed.
52:18Fine.
52:19No.
52:20I refuse.
52:21I'm the prize.
52:22Not a prize.
52:24Not for either of you.
52:25I looked at Adrian.
52:27But no less certain.
52:28I won't go back with you.
52:30Not because of Lyra.
52:32Because I finally found my mate.
52:38The crowd fell silent.
52:40Night's jaw sightened, then slowly relaxed.
52:43He walked toward me.
52:45One step.
52:46Then another.
52:47Adrian stood frozen.
52:49Are you sure?
52:50I looked up at him.
52:51Didn't flinch.
52:52I'm sure.
52:53You're my only love.
52:56He tilted my chin up.
52:57Without hesitation.
52:59Night kissed me.
53:00Acclaim.
53:00And Alpha marked his territory.
53:02I trembled, but didn't pull away.
53:05My fingers gripped his shirt.
53:06A low growl rippled through the wolves.
53:09Shocked and submission tangled together.
53:11Adrian stumbled back like he had been struck by lightning.
53:14Disbelief written all over his face.
53:17Night broke the kiss.
53:18His voice was calm.
53:20She's my mate.
53:21You can't take her.
53:23I turned to Adrian.
53:24Adrian.
53:25I'm not your home.
53:27Adrian stood frozen.
53:28His face paled and trembled.
53:31Adrian Cole.
53:32You fool.
53:33You let her go once.
53:35And now you can't bear to watch her belong to another.
53:37You deserve this.
53:39Every damn piece of it.
53:41Laya stood before a fireplace.
53:43Hooded.
53:43Several black-clad killers kneeled before me.
53:47Find her.
53:48You know what to do.
53:49The assassin leader nodded.
53:51Selene.
53:52The human girl.
53:54We'll deal with her on the road.
53:55Lyra lifted my head.
53:57A strange satisfaction gleamed in my eyes.
54:00She's not human.
54:01She's Alpha Heart's daughter.
54:02My father died by his hands.
54:05I've waited years for this.
54:07She paused.
54:09Smiles coldly.
54:10She will die before she truly awakens.
54:15Serene.
54:16May you always be happy.
54:18Just remember Moonpack is your support.
54:20Adrian walked toward his motorcycle.
54:22I'll send you to the edge of town.
54:24You're still my brother.
54:25Adrian froze for a moment.
54:27Watched me walk toward him.
54:29A bitter smile crossed his face.
54:31From now on, let me protect you from the shadows.
54:35The motorcycle rode along the forest path.
54:37An arrow whistled past my arm.
54:40Black-clothed figures emerged from the trees.
54:43Adrian jumped off the motorcycle with me in his arms.
54:46A blade sliced toward me.
54:48He threw himself in front of it.
54:50The steel bit into his side.
54:52Run!
54:53He conropst.
54:54Bones cracked.
54:56Fur ripped through skin.
54:57A massive wolf now stood between the assassins and me.
55:00He launched, tore into them, and fought like something feral.
55:04Knight's hand gripped his chest.
55:06The mat marked Burns.
55:08Selene!
55:09He was already moving.
55:11Adrian fought on.
55:12Wounded.
55:13Three assassins circled him.
55:14A force aimed at me.
55:16A blur of motion.
55:17Knight's blade took the assassin down.
55:19His warriors descended.
55:21The fight ended in seconds.
55:23Knight pulled me against him.
55:25Are you hurt?
55:26I shook my head.
55:27Looked past him at Adrian.
55:28Bleeding.
55:29Human again.
55:30On his knees.
55:31Knight followed my gaze.
55:33Saw the markings on the dead assassins.
55:35Lyra's work.
55:36My face paled.
55:38Adrian struggled to stand.
55:40She wants you dead.
55:41I know.
55:43This day finally came.
55:46Lyra stared into the fire.
55:49Flamed flicker, then twist.
55:51Lyra's face went pale.
55:53Her hands clenched.
55:54The door bruised open.
55:56I stood in the doorway.
55:57A faint silver glow radiating from me.
55:59Adrian and Knight flanked me.
56:02Lyra stumbled back.
56:03Surprised to see me?
56:04I laughed coldly.
56:06Lyra's eyes darted, calculating, desperate.
56:09She opened her mouth to whimper, to play the victim.
56:12What are you going to do to me?
56:14What are you going to do to me?
56:14Adrian, help me!
56:16Don't play victim.
56:17You know everything.
56:19Your father tried to steal the alpha title.
56:21He died a traitor.
56:23And you?
56:23You've spent years making sure I paid for it.
56:26Adrian looked at Lyra coldly.
56:28You liar.
56:28The dress.
56:30The needle.
56:31It was all you.
56:33Lyra's mask cracked.
56:34Her eyes went cold.
56:36You think I'd let her take everything?
56:38My father died because of her father!
56:41Her body convulsed.
56:42Bones cracked.
56:44Fur rips through skin.
56:45A dark wolf lunged at me, jaws wide.
56:48Knight stepped forward.
56:49My hand stopped him.
56:51Fine.
56:51My body convulsed.
56:53Silver light exploded.
56:54In seconds, a massive white wolf stood in my place.
56:57The two wolves collided.
56:59Teeth teared.
57:01Claws slacked.
57:02They moved in a blur of fur and blood.
57:04The white wolf gained the upper hand.
57:06Jaws closed around the other's throat.
57:08One snap.
57:09Silence.
57:10The dark wolf crumpled.
57:12Shimmered.
57:13Lyra lied still, human again.
57:15Then she becomes ashes.
57:17Light shimmered around me.
57:19I transformed into human again.
57:21I straightened and walked toward the door without looking back.
57:24It's over.
57:27Sunlight streams through towering windows.
57:30The hall was packed.
57:31Wolves stood shoulder by shoulder.
57:33I stood at the center.
57:35Dressed in silver and white.
57:38I looked regal.
57:40Beta Cole and Adrian watched from the front row, eyes glistening.
57:44Knight descended from the throne.
57:46In his hands, a crown, delicate silver, caught light like frozen stars.
57:51I was born ready.
57:54I smiled.
57:56I was born ready.
57:57He placed the crown on my head, then took my hand and lifted it to his lips, kissy knuckles once.
58:03Slow.
58:03Deliberate.
58:04Reveriant.
58:05The hall erupted.
58:06Howls.
58:07Tweers.
58:07Stomping feet.
58:08Then all loudly.
58:12I looked at Knight.
58:13He was already looking at me.
58:15I smiled.
58:17Mountains rise in the distance.
58:19Moonlight pours down like liquid silver.
58:22Two wolves streak across the valley.
58:24One white is me.
58:25One black is Knight.
58:26I leap, tacking the dark one mid-stride.
58:29We tumble together down a grassy slope, a tangle of fur and limbs until we roll to a stop at
58:33the bottom.
58:34Then fur gives way to skin.
58:36Pamping gives way to breathing.
58:38Ragged.
58:39Human.
58:39Close.
58:40We lie tangled together at the base of the slope.
58:43No longer wolves.
58:44My hair spills across his arm.
58:46He lowers his head with a soft smile.
58:49Take me to Knight Knight.
58:52His mouth finds mine.
58:53Slow at first.
58:54Then deeper.
58:55My fingers slide into his hair.
58:57His hand traces down my side.
59:00Over my hip.
59:01Pulling me closer.
59:02Every night.
59:03For the rest of my life.
59:05The moonlight spills over us.
59:07My head fall back.
59:08His lips find my throat.
59:09A soft sound escapes me.
59:12Our two figures move together in the silver light.
59:14Skin against skin.
59:16Nothing between us now.
59:17The mountains keep watching us.
