00:00Again.
00:01Damien's voice came from above me.
00:04Low.
00:05Horsky.
00:05Burning with the heat of an alpha in rut.
00:08I had lost count by now.
00:10Three times, maybe?
00:12His arms were braced on either side of my head,
00:15veins bulging at his temples,
00:17every thrust hitting me with a force that felt more punishment than pleasure.
00:21I didn't dare make a sound.
00:23The patrol guards outside would hear.
00:26The entire pack would know that the wolf-less, worthless Omega
00:29was being used as a painkiller by their alpha.
00:32Nobody knew I was Damien's fated mate.
00:34Or rather, he refused to let anyone know.
00:37A nobody from the slums whose wolf had never awakened.
00:40How could someone that pathetic ever deserve to be the fated mate of the pack's twin alphas?
00:44So for three years, I had been hidden away in the Grey Sector,
00:47a run-down district packed with crippled and discarded wolves.
00:50I was his dirty little secret.
00:52The third time ended and Damien finally got off me.
00:56I laid there gasping, my whole body trembling.
00:59All I wanted was to close my eyes and sleep.
01:02Then a pair of hands grabbed my waist again.
01:06Turn over.
01:07It was Damien's voice.
01:08But the hands were wrong.
01:09The Khalids were in different places.
01:11The ring he always wore on his left hand was missing.
01:13I was too exhausted.
01:14My brain was mush.
01:15I couldn't think straight.
01:16Four, five.
01:17He was rougher than before.
01:19His fingers dug ug into my waist hard.
01:22I thought they would break through the skin.
01:24Which felt better?
01:25He leaned down to my ear.
01:27His voice dropped to a whisper.
01:29There was something cruel and mocking in his tone that I had never heard from Damien.
01:33Hmm?
01:34Answer me.
01:38Six, seven.
01:40My mind was coming apart.
01:41Every release ripped away what little strength I had left.
01:45In the haze I turned my head and reached for his mouth.
01:47I wanted a kiss.
01:49Just one.
01:50My lips found his.
01:51But my eyes found him first.
01:53Damien's eyes were gray-blue.
01:54Cold and still.
01:55The eyes staring down at me were blown wide, bloodshot, with a faint gold sheen of something savage.
02:00Caspin, Damien's twin brother.
02:02The one the whole pack called the rabid dog behind his back.
02:05My blood went cold.
02:07The scream stuck in my throat because his hand was already on my neck.
02:11His thumb resting right over my windpipe.
02:13Figured it out?
02:14Caspin grinned at me, wearing the same face as Damien.
02:18Too late, little waste.
02:19A small sound came from the far corner of the room.
02:22A wall lamp clicked on.
02:24Damien was sitting in an armchair, fully dressed.
02:26His shirt sleeves rolled up to his forearms.
02:28A glass of whiskey in his hand.
02:30He had been here the entire time.
02:32He had watched his brother take his mate.
02:34And he looked bored.
02:35Why?
02:35My voice came out wrecked.
02:38Unrecognizable.
02:39Damien swirled his glass.
02:40Ice clinked against the amber liquid.
02:42You're my fated mate.
02:43Sure.
02:44But so what?
02:45His tone was flat.
02:46His expression blank.
02:47You have no wolf.
02:48No family.
02:49You can't even shift into a full wolf form.
02:51What makes you think you deserve the Luna title?
02:53The moon goddess played a sick joke on me.
02:55He took a sip.
02:56Tying a waste of space to me as my fated mate.
02:59So I made the best of it.
03:00Your body calms our ferial episodes.
03:03Your blood works as a pain repressor.
03:05Beyond that, you have zero value.
03:08Caspin climbed off me and wiped his hands on the sheet.
03:11Basically, you're a sedative the two of us share.
03:13You think you actually deserve the mate title?
03:17My hands were shaking.
03:19Shaking so badly I couldn't grip the sheets.
03:22Three years.
03:23Three full years.
03:24I had skipped meals to buy herbs for Damien's pain relief tonic.
03:28I had pricked my own fingers with a sewing meal to feed him my blood for the remedy.
03:33I had told myself that if I was good enough, useful enough, he would eventually claim me in front of
03:38the pack.
03:39My mate.
03:40My alpha.
03:41I had believed I was his future Luna.
03:45Turns out, I was never anything more than a tool he was too ashamed to mention.
03:49Next week, Serena will officially become the pack's Luna.
03:52She's from the Blackwell bloodline.
03:54Pure lineage.
03:55Powerful wolf form.
03:57The entire pack already believes she's my mate.
03:59Damien stood and adjusted his cuffs.
04:01He said it the same way he would read a memo.
04:03I won't correct them.
04:04Serena.
04:06A complete stranger was going to wear the Luna crown that should have been mine.
04:10And I wouldn't even be allowed to sit and watch.
04:13Damien walked to the door and glanced back.
04:15You will attend the ceremony.
04:17His eyes swept over my bruised, marked body.
04:20There was no guilt in his gaze.
04:22No disgust.
04:24Nothing at all.
04:25You'll kneel in the last row of the gallery, with the servants.
04:29You'll bow to the new Luna.
04:31And if you make a scene, or if Serena or anyone else finds out you're my mate.
04:36He didn't finish the sentence.
04:38He didn't need to.
04:40Caspi had cut in.
04:41He bent down and patted my sweat-dripped face.
04:44I'll rip your tongue out myself.
04:47Little waste.
04:49The door closed.
04:50The room went dark.
04:54I curled up on the crumpled sheets.
04:56Every part of me felt crushed.
04:58The tears wouldn't come.
04:59Not because it didn't hurt.
05:01Because it hurt too much.
05:03So much that even crying felt pointless.
05:05I was their fated mate.
05:06I was supposed to be this Pax Luna.
05:08And I couldn't tell a single soul.
05:10I didn't know how long I lay on that bed.
05:13My thighs were still sticky.
05:16The air reeked of two alphas pheromones mixed together.
05:20So thick it made my stomach turn.
05:23My phone buzzing woke me up.
05:25A message from my neighbor in the gray sector.
05:28Five words.
05:29Nana's is not going to make it.
05:32I jumped off the bed barefoot and ran out the door stepping over the mess on the floor.
05:37The shack in the gray sector smelled of blood.
05:39Heavy, rotten blood.
05:41Nana was curled up on her worn out mat.
05:43Dark blood was seeping from the corners of her mouth.
05:45And her nostrils her body was seizing.
05:47Jerking and sharp violent spasms.
05:49Nana!
05:50I dropped my knees beside her scrambling to wipe the blood away.
05:53But it kept coming.
05:54The pack doctor was already packing up his kit ready to leave.
05:58The wolf spide has reached her bones.
05:59He barely glanced at her.
06:01Unless you can get alpha blood for the antidote, she's done.
06:04Alpha blood.
06:06My mate.
06:07My alpha at least in name.
06:09His blood could save her life.
06:10But he wouldn't even acknowledge that I existed.
06:13I closed my eyes and reached for the thin thread of the mate bond between me and Damien.
06:17That bond had worn down to almost nothing after three years of one-hided draining.
06:21But it was still there.
06:22No matter how much he despised me.
06:24A mate bond was the moon goddess Mark.
06:26As long as both of us were alive, it couldn't be broken.
06:28Damien, please.
06:29Just one drop of blood.
06:32Nana is dying.
06:33The link went quiet for two seconds.
06:36Then Serena's sugary voice bled through the mind link.
06:39Damien, look at this one.
06:42Don't you think the lease neckline is prettier than the last dress?
06:49And then Damien's voice.
06:52So gentle, I almost didn't recognize it.
06:55They all look beautiful.
06:58You look beautiful in anything, my Luna.
07:00My Luna.
07:01He had never once called me that.
07:03I was his mate.
07:05But that title, those two words, he gave them to a woman who had no fated bond with him at
07:09all.
07:10I screamed through the link.
07:12Damien!
07:13I'm begging you!
07:15Shut up.
07:16That wasn't Damien.
07:17It was Caspian.
07:18His consciousness slammed into the link with open disgust.
07:21Using the old woman for sympathy again?
07:25Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?
07:27An Alpha's mate living in the Grey Tektor, crying and begging.
07:31If word gets out, how do you think that makes us look?
07:35It's not an excuse.
07:36She's really bleeding out.
07:38Enough, Ivy.
07:39Damien's voice came back.
07:40Colder than the night wind.
07:42Today is Serena's dress fitting.
07:44As the future Luna, every moment of her day matters more than whatever crisis you've invented.
07:50Stop acting crazy.
07:51The link was severed from his end.
07:53The backlash hit me instantly.
07:55Pain exploded inside my skull.
07:57I grabbed my head and collapsed.
07:59My ears ringing so loud I couldn't hear anything else.
08:02By the time I pulled myself off the floor, Nana had stopped seizing.
08:07Her hand was cold.
08:08She was looking at me.
08:09She reached into her shirt with shaking fingers and pulled out an old whistle carved from bone.
08:14She pressed it into my palm.
08:16Then her lips moved.
08:18No sound came out.
08:19Just a shape.
08:20Run.
08:21Her hand dropped.
08:22I held her body as it went stiff.
08:24I couldn't cry.
08:25Not because I didn't want to.
08:26The moment the link had been cut, it felt as though something inside me had been severed too.
08:31My tears along with it.
08:35Outside, the pack loudbeater was playing Serena's recorded message on a loop.
08:40Everyone is welcome to attend my ceremony with Damien.
08:43Next week, I will officially become the pack's Luna.
08:46Luna.
08:48That seat was supposed to be mine.
08:50But I didn't even have the right to fight for it.
08:52Fighting required being acknowledged first, and I was not even allowed to exist.
08:56Some time passed.
08:58The door opened.
08:59Cold air rushed in.
09:00I squinted against it.
09:01A tall figure stood in the doorway, wearing a tattered cloak.
09:05Every nerve in my body went tight.
09:07I shot to my feet and stood in front of Nana's body.
09:10Who are you?
09:11He didn't answer.
09:12He looked at the body on the floor.
09:14Then at me.
09:15Then he walked to the corner, picked up the shovel leaning against the wall.
09:18He lifted Nana's body onto his shoulder and carried her outside.
09:22I think I understood what he was going to do.
09:24He dug a hole in the frozen ground behind the hill, filled it in, set up a plank of wood
09:29as a marker.
09:30Why are you helping me?
09:31I asked.
09:33Six months ago, in the alley behind the market, you saved my life.
09:37He turned and disappeared Dinto the dark.
09:39I stood in front of the fresh grave, gripping the bone whistle Nana had left me.
09:43The sharp edges of the bone had cut into my palm.
09:45That was when I felt it.
09:47A tiny flutter deep in my belly.
09:49Something stirring in my blood.
09:51Faint and timid.
09:52Nudging against my skin from the inside.
09:55I pressed my dirt covered hand against my stomach.
09:57Two.
09:58Two faint heartbeats.
10:00I was pregnant.
10:01Carrying my Alpha's children.
10:03Funny, wasn't it?
10:05He refused to claim me as his mate, but he had left his bloodline growing inside me.
10:12In the distance, the main house was blazing with light.
10:16A golden countdown sign for the wedding was glowing on the front porch.
10:21I knew Damiathian Cassibian would never let these children be born.
10:25A secret mate they treated as a tool found to be carrying their pups.
10:28That wasn't just a scandal that would make the entire pack question Serena's Luna status.
10:33They would kill these babies the same way they had killed every last shred of my dignity without blinking.
10:38I had already lost Nana.
10:41I would not lose them too.
10:43I looked down at the bloodstained bone whistle.
10:46I thought about the cloaked wolf who had just buried Nana for me.
10:50I raised the whistle to my lips and I blew it with everything I had left.
10:57The whistle's sound didn't carry far.
10:59The winter wind swallowed it whole.
11:02Nobody came.
11:03Not that night, at least.
11:05Three days later, the night before the Luna coronation, two guards dragged me out of my shack in the gray
11:11sector.
11:16And shoved me into the servants' changing room in the pack's main house.
11:20Put this on.
11:22One of them tossed me a gray linen robe.
11:24Tomorrow you stand in the last row of the gallery, with the servants.
11:28You kneel and bow to our new Luna.
11:29No looking up, no talking, no looking at the Alpha.
11:32I took the rough fabric and said nothing.
11:35What a joke I was this Pax Alpha's fated mate.
11:37The Luna crown should have been on my head.
11:40Instead I would be wearing slave clothes kneeling on the ground watching a woman with no mate bond sit in
11:45my seat.
11:47The door locked behind me, I crouched on the floor.
11:50One hand pressed against my belly without thinking three days in those two heartbeats.
11:55Had grown a little stronger, tiny stubborn.
11:58Pushing outward the door swung open.
12:00Not a guard, Serena.
12:02She wore an ivory velvet robe, her hair loose, her feet in satin slippers.
12:07Two personal attendants trailed behind her.
12:11So you're Ivy.
12:12She tilted her head and looked me over.
12:15The wolf-less waist from the gray sector?
12:17She sniffed the air and wrinkled her nose.
12:20You smell disgusting.
12:22I have no idea why Damien even knows someone that pathetic.
12:26Her eyes narrowed, studying me.
12:29I kept my head down.
12:30I didn't dare speak.
12:33If she found out I was Damien's real mate,
12:36Casserbyn had promised to rip my tongue out.
12:38Serena didn't push further.
12:40Her gaze dropped to my neck, where Nana's bone whistle hung on a cord.
12:46That's interesting.
12:48She reached out without warning and ripped the cord off my neck.
12:53Give it back!
12:54I jumped to my feet and grabbed for it.
12:57The slap knocked me back to the ground.
12:59Serena shook out her hand, then held the whistle up and studied it.
13:03She smiled.
13:03Do you know Dead Man's Valley?
13:06That ravine behind the hill?
13:08The one full of bones?
13:10I'm going there tomorrow morning for a purification ritual before the coronation.
13:16She spun the whistle between her fingers.
13:22I'll toss this filthy thing down there for you.
13:26Consider it the future Luna cleaning up the trash.
13:29Tonight, you stay on your knees right here.
13:32You don't get up until I say so.
13:34She turned and walked out.
13:36I stayed kneeling on the cold stone floor.
13:39Blood trickled from the corner of my mouth.
13:42The next morning, I ran to Dead Man's Valley.
13:44It was a deep ravine cut into the far side of the hill.
13:47The rock walls on both sides were streaked with old, dried blood.
13:50I dug through the rubble at the mouth of the valley, tearing through loose stones and broken bones.
13:54My fingers were sliced open.
13:56Blood dripped onto the rocks.
13:57I knew you'd come.
13:59Caspian's voice came from behind me, amused, entertained.
14:02Before I could turn around, something cold wrapped around my ankle.
14:05A silver-laced chain.
14:06The second the silver touched my skin white, smoke hissed up from the contact point.
14:10The burning pain hit me so hard it felt as though someone had pressed a red, hot iron against my
14:15bones I screamed and collapsed.
14:17Caspian gripped the other end of the chain, and dragged me across the rough stone.
14:21Ground 10-15 feet, maybe more the skin on my back.
14:25My arms and my shins shredded against the rocks.
14:28K-silver dust ground into the open wounds.
14:30The pain was so intense I couldn't breathe, but I kept both hands over my stomach.
14:35I didn't let go once Damien was standing nearby.
14:38He was dressed for the coronation black suit white shirt.
14:41Without a single wrinkle his mate was being dragged in front of him torn apart by silver chains.
14:45And his face showed nothing he could have been watching.
14:48A stray mutt on the roadside.
14:51Ivy.
14:51He spoke his tone was flat official.
14:54From this moment, I formally sever the mate bond between us.
14:58You don't deserve to be my mate.
15:00You don't deserve to be this Pax Luna.
15:02You never did.
15:07Every word landed on me with the force of a blade splitting open my chest.
15:11The moment the mate bond snapped something deep inside my soul was ripped away.
15:15The pain was beyond anything I had ever felt worse than the silver burning through my flesh.
15:20A thousand times worse.
15:21The mark the moon goddess had carved into my soul the day I was born.
15:25He crushed it with his own hands.
15:27Throw her down.
15:28Damien turned around and straightened his cuffs.
15:31The ceremony's about to start.
15:33Serena's waiting.
15:34Caspian hauled me by the chain to the edge of the cliff.
15:37Then he kicked me in the back.
15:39I didn't scream on the way down.
15:41I hit the bottom of the valley and felt three ribs snap.
15:45My left shin bent at an angle that shouldn't have been possible.
15:48The silver chain was still wrapped around my ankle.
15:51Still burning.
15:52The stench of rotting bones filled my nose and mouth.
15:55Through my blurring vision, I saw something white.
15:57Nana's bone trussle wedged in a crack between two old bones.
16:01I dragged myself toward it with my one working hand.
16:04Inch by inch.
16:05Until my fingers closed around it, the moon carvings on the bone whistle began to burn.
16:11Scorching hot.
16:12The heat poured from my palm into my veins.
16:15Flooding through my limbs.
16:16Rushing up my spine.
16:18Slamming into the top of my skull.
16:20Something cracked.
16:22A seal.
16:23My back arched off the ground.
16:25A sound ripped out of my throat.
16:28That did not belong to a human.
16:30The bones scattered across the valley floor blew outward from the force of it.
16:33My eyes turned solid gold.
16:36I got to my feet and started walking toward the pack square.
16:39The coronation was already underway.
16:42Thousands of wolves were gathered around the altar.
16:44Torchlight flickering across their eager reverent faces.
16:49At the center of the altar, Serena stood draped in a white luna ceremonial robe.
16:53She was walking slowly toward the moonstone.
16:55A sacred rock that had stood for a thousand years.
16:58The stone only responded to a true mate.
17:00Only the alpha's fated mate could make it glow confirming the luna title.
17:04Everyone was waiting for that moment.
17:05Damien and Caspian stood on either side of the altar.
17:08Black suits.
17:09Gold crests.
17:10Their alpha oris pressed down on the crowd.
17:12Their faces were calm.
17:13Everything under control.
17:14When Serena's hand touches the moonstone, she will officially become this pack's luna.
17:19The elder's voice rang across the square.
17:21Serena raised her hand.
17:23Her fingertips were less than an inch from the stone.
17:26The stone exploded.
17:28No warning.
17:29The massive white rock split down the middle with a blood-red crack, then shattered completely.
17:36Ash rained down across the square.
17:38The stone had rejected her because she was not the mate.
17:42The stone knew.
17:44The moon goddess knew.
17:46Screams erupted across the square.
17:49Serena stubbled back two steps.
17:50Her whole body shaking.
17:53She stared at the ash on her fingers.
17:56What happened?
18:00Damien shot to his feet.
18:01For the first time in public.
18:04His composure cracked.
18:05Nobody could answer him.
18:07Because the full moon above them changed color.
18:09The white light bled red, inch by inch, until the entire moon hung in the sky the color of fresh
18:14blood.
18:14A blood moon.
18:16The elder's legs gave out.
18:17He collapsed to the ground.
18:19This is the moon goddess's punishment.
18:23She rejected Serena.
18:26Because the alpha's true mate is not her.
18:31The crowd erupted.
18:33Damien and Caspian both went rigid.
18:36Then the real horror began.
18:38The entire pack's mind link was hijacked.
18:41Forced open.
18:43Every single wolf in the pack, from the lowest omega to the highest ranking alpha, had the same vision explode
18:49inside their heads at the same time.
18:51They saw me, Damien's fated mate, being passed between him and his twin brother.
18:56Used.
18:57Discarded.
18:58They saw me on my knees, begging the alpha for a single drop of blood to save my dying nana.
19:03And the answer that came back was,
19:05Today is Serena's day.
19:06They saw me chained at the ankle, with silver-laced links dragged across jagged rock for 15 feet.
19:13Skin shredded.
19:14Bone exposed.
19:16And they saw Damien standing there in his spotless white shirt, his face completely blank, saying,
19:22Throw her down.
19:23The ceremony's about to start.
19:25Serena is waiting.
19:27Every wolf in that square now understood the truth.
19:31For three years, their alpha had hidden his fated mate in the gray sector.
19:34He had used her as a pain repressor and a tool to relieve his rut.
19:38Then he had handed the Luna throne to a woman who had no mate bond with him at all.
19:41Thousands of wolves grabbed their heads at the same time.
19:44Some threw up on the spite.
19:46Young pups burst into screaming sobs.
19:49The adults stared at the twin alphas on the altar.
19:52The awe was gone from their eyes.
19:54All that was left was disgust, fear, and doubt.
20:00Who did this?
20:01Damien roared.
20:02His alpha aura blasting outward at full force.
20:06Who hijacked the pack link?
20:11His aura had a wall.
20:13An invisible wall that was 10,000 times heavier than anything he could put out.
20:17It was coming from Dead Man's Valley.
20:19Every pair of eyes turned toward the hill.
20:22The ground was shaking.
20:24A low rumble at first.
20:26Then harder.
20:27The stone tiles under their feet cracked apart.
20:30I stepped out of the fog in my wolf form.
20:33Pure white.
20:34It was my first shift.
20:36My body was barely holding together.
20:38But my wolf was two full sizes bigger than any alphas.
20:43And that was enough to freeze every wolf in the square.
20:46The elder dropped flat on the ground.
20:48His voice broke apart mid-sentence.
20:51Moon.
20:52Moon goddess's daughter.
20:54White wolf bloodline.
20:55She is.
20:57She has always been.
20:59The alpha's true mate.
21:02The real Luna.
21:03I walked onto the shattered altar and swept my gaze across the thousands of terrified faces below.
21:10Then, I locked eyes with Damien and Caspian.
21:13Both of them dropped to their knees at the same time.
21:15They didn't choose to.
21:17Something buried deep in their blood.
21:19Something that overrouded every alpha command.
21:22Forced their bodies down against their will.
21:24Their knees slammed into the broken stone.
21:26Caspian fought it.
21:28Veins bulged in his neck.
21:29His teeth ground together so hard I could hear it from where I stood.
21:32He couldn't lift a single finger.
21:35Damien's face had gone white.
21:36Deep inside his soul, the mate bond he had severed with his own hands was tearing back through him.
21:42Every ounce of pain I had felt when he cut me off was hitting him now.
21:45Multiplied.
21:48He raised his head.
21:50His eyes were shot through with red.
21:53Ivy?
21:54He finally recognized me.
21:56I didn't answer him.
21:57I turned and looked at Serena.
21:59She was backing away.
22:01Clutching her hand.
22:03Her face frozen in disbelief.
22:05But I wasn't focused on her face.
22:07My nose had caught something.
22:10A faint scent drifting from her sleeve.
22:12Witching herbs.
22:14Blackthornberry extract.
22:15Odorless and tasteless.
22:17Long-term use created a false sense of mate bond dependency in alphas towards a specific person.
22:22I shifted back to human form.
22:25Elder.
22:26Check what your future Luna has been hiding in her sleeve.
22:30My voice was quiet, but every wolf in the square heard it.
22:34The Elder was still on the ground.
22:36But two enforcers had already rushed forward.
22:39Serena screamed and stumbled backward.
22:41Don't touch me!
22:43I'm the Luna!
22:45Damien!
22:46Do something!
22:50Nobody listened.
22:52An enforcer ripped her sleeve open.
22:56A small vial of thick black liquid rolled out and hit the stone tiles.
23:01The cat popped off.
23:03A sharp, sickly sweet smell spread across the square instantly.
23:09The Elder's face went green the second he caught the scent.
23:15Blackthornberry, this is a witching drug!
23:21She has been drugging the Alpha!
23:24That is why he bonded with a woman who has no mate bond with him.
23:28It was never fate.
23:30It was the drug!
23:32Dead silence.
23:33Then the square exploded.
23:43Serena's face went from white to gray.
23:45She turned to Damien.
23:46Her lips trembled.
23:47Damien, you believe me?
23:48I didn't.
23:49I would never...
23:50Damien didn't look at him.
23:51He was on his knees in the rubble, drenched in sweat, his eyes locked on me.
23:54Seize her.
23:55The Elder's voice came from behind.
23:57On the charge of treason, Serena Blackweck is to be detained immediately.
24:03Two enforcers grabbed Serena by the arms and dragged her away.
24:07She thrashed and fought, the screams cutting through the night.
24:10Damien!
24:11You said you loved me!
24:14You said I was your Luna!
24:16Damien didn't move.
24:18I looked down at the two of them, both still on their knees.
24:21Honestly, I could barely stand.
24:23The first shift had drained almost everything I had.
24:26The two heartbeats in my belly were pounding hard,
24:29protesting everything I had just put my body through.
24:31But I held on long enough to look Damien in the eye.
24:34You told me I didn't deserve to be your Luna.
24:37Now you know the truth.
24:38You were too blind to see it.
24:41Someone drugged you, and you couldn't even tell what was real.
24:44But even without the drug, you never once looked at me.
24:47Did you?
24:48Damien's throat moved.
24:49He opened his mouth.
24:50I didn't let him speak.
24:52From today, you and I have nothing to do with each other.
24:55I straighted up and turned around.
24:57On my first step, my legs buckled.
25:00On the second, my vision went black.
25:03On the third, my knees hit the stone.
25:08I didn't hit the ground.
25:09Someone caught me.
25:10One arm wrapped around my waist from behind.
25:12The other hand cradled the back of my head.
25:14Steady.
25:15Precise.
25:15As if he had calculated exactly when my third step would give out.
25:18I caught a faint scent.
25:19Pine and frozen earth.
25:21Familiar.
25:22The cloaked wolf.
25:23Caspian finally broke free of the suppression and surged to his feet.
25:26Let her go.
25:27She's ours.
25:28Yours?
25:29The cloaked wolf's voice was calm, almost polite.
25:31But the moment he spoke, the temperature across the entire square dropped.
25:35An alpha aura far more terrifying than Damien's rolled outward.
25:39Every wolf in the square, including the twins, buckled.
25:42Not to their knees.
25:43Their legs just went soft.
25:45Pure instinct.
25:46Screaming at them to submit.
25:47The wind caught the edge of his cloak and pulled it open.
25:51Underneath was not rags.
25:52It was a black jacket.
25:55A silver wolf head crest was pinned at the collar.
25:57The elder's face changed instantly.
26:00That crest.
26:02That's the rogue king's crest.
26:05A wave of ghast swept through the square.
26:08The rogue king.
26:09Leader of the largest exile alliance in the northern territories.
26:12He belonged to no pack.
26:13He answered to no elder council.
26:15His followers were the most savage cast-out alphas from every corner of the continent.
26:18Rumor said he had wiped out two mid-sized packs on his own.
26:21Rumor said his wolf form was pure black.
26:23As large as the ancient wolves.
26:26And this man was standing in the middle of their square.
26:28One arm around my waist.
26:30His other hand brushing the blood-mad hair from my face.
26:33Stay awake. You can't sleep yet.
26:35He looked down at me.
26:37His voice was low.
26:38My mind was barely hanging on.
26:41Are you here to repay a debt?
26:45My lips moved, but my voice was almost gone.
26:49Allie, six months ago.
26:51All I did was pull you out.
26:53You don't have to.
26:55This isn't about a debt.
26:57He pulled me closer.
26:58I'm here to take you home.
27:00Damien got to his feet.
27:01The calm was gone from his face.
27:04What replaced it was something I had never seen on him before.
27:08Panic.
27:09His voice was raw.
27:11She's my mate.
27:12She belongs to this pack.
27:14You have no right-
27:15Excuse me?
27:16The rogue king lifted his gaze.
27:18His eyes were pure black.
27:20No light in them at all.
27:21You severed the mate bond yourself.
27:23You threw her into Dead Man's Valley.
27:26She's free now.
27:27On what grounds do you claim she's yours?
27:30Damien had nothing to say.
27:32Caspian charged forward.
27:33Don't you dare play games with me!
27:35The rogue king didn't even glance at him.
27:37He tilted his head half an inch.
27:39A black wolf shadow shot out from behind him.
27:41So fast, the human eye could barely track it.
27:44Caspian's body flew 20 feet through the air and slammed into the wreckage of the altar.
27:49Blood sprayed from his mouth on impact.
27:51Nobody in the square moved.
27:53The rogue king looked down at me.
27:54He pulled off his black cloak with one hand and wrapped it around my body.
27:58The cloak was huge.
28:00It covered me almost entirely.
28:02It smelled of pine and frozen earth.
28:04It was warm.
28:06Let's go.
28:07He said.
28:07I had no strength left to answer.
28:09But my fingers found the edge of his cloak and held on.
28:12I didn't let go.
28:14He carried me and turned towards the hills.
28:16Thousands of wolves parted together.
