Short filmTranscript
00:00That rainy night, the assassin told me straight. He said Alpha wants me and my son dead, for him to
00:05break the mate bond, and to marry his new Luma.
00:07Luna Cassia, forgive me.
00:09Three blades whip through the rain. His throat splits open.
00:12Alpha said, you were just some lowborn Omega.
00:15I stand in the rain. He's dead. I wipe the blood off my face.
00:18You idiots believe the rumors I started, and you've got the nerve to mess with our mate bond.
00:23Raymond and I bonded in secret years ago. He promised me. Soon as our son heals, he makes me his
00:28Luna.
00:28I loved him. Left my family. Fed him my blood for years. Healed him. Made him Alpha.
00:33My teammate Mark burns bright under the moonlight.
00:36Dragon's ward. Already found it. Raymond, I'm going home. Brew the cure. Heal our son.
00:40I reach for the door. Laughter spills from inside. I stop. Confused. That's odd. There's no feast.
00:45Wasn't Raymond supposed to be at the border?
00:47Hey, it's Luna Amber's wedding and coronation. No outsiders.
00:50A servant passes by. He eyes my torn cloak and frowns.
00:53I'm Raymond's mate, Cassia.
00:54Did you just say Luna Amber? Who the hell is she?
00:57Luna Amber. Alpha Raymond's true mate. The new Luna of Greyware Pack.
01:00You? Cassia? Don't make me laugh.
01:03That low-born Omega's been dead three years. The Alpha said so himself.
01:07Dead? Who said I was dead?
01:08Cheers erupt inside. I look through the window, and my blood runs cold.
01:12See that? That's our Luna Amber. Blue blood. Perfect for our Alpha.
01:15Raymond's arms are around her. He's kissing her. His parents clapping along.
01:19I left my royal family behind. Five years. I fed him my blood. Made him Alpha.
01:23And now he says I'm dead and takes a new ride? Go tell your Alpha, Raymond.
01:28Tell him. Tell him what?
01:29I throw the doors open. My cloak snaps and blullows behind me.
01:32Tell him his dead wife is here. And she wouldn't miss this wedding.
01:38Holding my son, I walked straight toward Raymond.
01:40A shrill laugh cuts through the hall. Amber is just marvelous. High-born and so generous.
01:46He gave Raymond three hundred acres of territory. Not like that one. She brought in nothing.
01:52Raymond's mother, wine glass in hand, brags to the noble ladies.
01:55Before your family had its fortune, I asked for nothing. No wealth, no ceremony.
01:58Now I'm the worthless one? His father sneers.
02:01Huh. I never approved when Raymond brought her into our family. That cursed woman. Her low-born blood is polluting
02:07our pure bloodline.
02:08I freeze in my tracks. Low-born? I bled for your son five years.
02:11Now this marriage, this is a perfect match.
02:14A bitter laugh escapes me. Just as I go to move, a relative with a wine glass passes by.
02:18She looks at me.
02:19Oh my god! Isn't that the low-tier healer Raymond used to keep?
02:23She covers her nose and steps back, looking me over.
02:25Look at this mess! You're covered in blood! What makes you think you can barge into Luna's coronation? God!
02:30I ignore her. Stride toward the stage.
02:33Raymond! Tell them who I am!
02:34Up on the stage, Raymond turns his head with a deep frown.
02:37Raymond's mother panics. She screams.
02:39That filthy low-born beast! She's ruining the coronation! Get her out!
02:43Before she even finishes, two guards with heavy silver blades grab me.
02:45They haul me toward the doors. My son screams in my arms. I hold him tighter.
02:49Get off me! Raymond! Face me, you coward!
02:53Why are you handling a mother like this?
02:55Amber steps forward. Bridesmaids around her. Silver light spills from her gown.
03:02She notices me. Soaked and surrounded by the crowd.
03:04Then the pale child in my arms.
03:06You're Raymond's healer, right?
03:07What happened? You look awful.
03:09I stare at her, trying to make her out.
03:11Bracket. Do you really love Raymond?
03:12Her cheeks flush. She nods.
03:14Of course. He's strong.
03:15But more than that, he's a loyal, honorable man.
03:18Ugh. Just a sheltered, naive noble girl.
03:20Honorable?
03:20What if I told you he already has a wife?
03:22And a son not even three years old?
03:24Her bridesmaids round on me.
03:25Where did this low-born filth crawl from?
03:27Can't even come up with a decent lie!
03:29Guards! Gag her!
03:30Amber holds up a hand for quiet.
03:32Oh, I know. He had a mate before.
03:34It doesn't bother me.
03:35I jolt, staring at her.
03:36You already knew? And you're fine with it?
03:38Her eyes soften with adoration.
03:40Raymond told me everything.
03:41His first wife and newborn son were killed by his enemy's silver curse.
03:44Left at all.
03:45He's been suffering for three years.
03:47He chokes up every time he mentions them.
03:49How could I hold that against him?
03:51Silver curse? He chokes up every time we're mentioned?
03:54I look down.
03:55Ever since our son was born, he said, he had to go to the border every single month.
03:59I raised our boy alone.
04:00Even when I was breaking down, L couldn't bring myself to call on him.
04:03But all that time, he was with you.
04:04And he told everyone I was dead.
04:06Built himself a tragic widower story, to win sympathy from young she-wolves.
04:09Have you ever seen a picture of his first wife and son?
04:11What?
04:14The sacred music begins.
04:16Raymond stands at the altar in his ceremonial alpha robes.
04:19He gazes at Amber with pure devotion.
04:21Excuse me, I'm expected at the altar now.
04:23Amber slips on a smile.
04:24She walks to Raymond.
04:25Under the gaze of the crowd, she takes his hand.
04:28Alpha Raymond, before the moon goddess, do you freely choose to take Miss Braga as your true mate?
04:34Have you fully broken your prior bond?
04:35Raymond looks out over the high priest, full of confidence.
04:38Yes.
04:39My formless Paris fell to the silver curse.
04:41The mark is gone.
04:42I now ask for a new true mate bond with Amber Bracken.
04:45They both hold out their wrists, waiting for the moonlight blessing to bind their souls.
04:49The altar flames go out, without warning.
04:52Then the whole temple shakes violently.
04:54The sacred moonlight turns a furious blood red.
04:56A powerful rejection backflash explodes from the air, blasting Raymond and the high priest's back.
05:01Blood trickles from Raymond's mouth.
05:02Amber sticks her empty wrist, shocked.
05:05What's going on?
05:06Why did the moon goddess reject us?
05:08Dear god, she rejected it!
05:10Did the alpha lie?
05:11Is his first wife still alive?
05:12The moon goddess is wrong!
05:14My first wife is dead!
05:15The two guards pinning me are thrown back.
05:17I enter the hall, step by step, my son wailing in my arms.
05:22The moon goddess makes no mistakes, Raymond.
05:24You did.
05:25Raymond slumps against the altar, scrambling back.
05:27Cassina, you're not dead?
05:29Right.
05:29It's me, alive and well.
05:31And our bond?
05:32Still burning.
05:33Right here, on my chest with a blinding light.
05:35And on Raymond, the same mark ignites.
05:38Mirroring mine, Amber stares at him.
05:39Her face, nothing but disbelief.
05:43After the shock, he pinches his own thigh.
05:46His eyes go red.
05:47Tears spill down his face.
05:48Raymond spreads his arms, rushes down from the altar.
05:50Tries to embrace me.
05:51Cassina, dear gods.
05:53Is it really you?
05:54I step back, son in my arms, turn aside.
05:57He crashes to his knees, buries his face in his hands, sobs.
06:00The moon goddess has blessed me.
06:02All this time, I thought I'd lost you and our boy.
06:05Every day, pure torment.
06:07Raymond scrambles to his feet, grabs my hands, begging.
06:10Cassia, for the sake of five years together, take our son and leave.
06:15Just for today.
06:16He glances at Amber.
06:17His voice drops even lower.
06:19This is about the honor of the whole pack.
06:20After the wedding, I'll give you anything.
06:23I shake off his hand, smile, raise the echo stone.
06:26His voice echoes across the hall.
06:28After the wedding, I'll give you anything.
06:29Raymond's face goes pale.
06:30I face every guest in the hall.
06:32Everyone.
06:33Raymond claims I've been dead for years, yet we've been in contact this whole time.
06:37Last night, on the holy mountain, the assassin told me himself.
06:41It was Alpha Raymond.
06:42He couldn't wait to marry his new Luna, so my son and I had to die.
06:46Amber turns to Raymond.
06:48Her voice shakes.
06:49What?
06:49Raymond, is this true?
06:53No.
06:54None of this is true.
06:55How could I want you dead?
06:56Three years since I heard the news.
06:58Every single day, I thought of you.
07:00He takes my shoulders, gazes at me.
07:02All fake devotion.
07:03That's it.
07:04You must have been hunted.
07:06Traumatized.
07:06Let me take you to a healer?
07:08Raymond.
07:09Be a man and admit it.
07:10You sent assassins to kill me and our son.
07:13Admit it.
07:13Or don't you have the nerve?
07:15He stares at the gold mark on my throat.
07:16Then at blinding.
07:17Her face.
07:17Pure disappointment.
07:18Sweat beads on his forehead.
07:19If this wedding doesn't happen today, I'll never become the most powerful alpha.
07:23He turns to the high priest.
07:24High priest.
07:25Cassia has been missing for three years and she's clearly lost her mind.
07:28To bind myself to Amber, I am willing to sever my bond with Cassia.
07:31Right now.
07:32The high priest sighs.
07:33Severing a bond is like flaying the soul.
07:36Cassia, do you consent?
07:37I look at Raymond.
07:39My blood still on his hands.
07:40I left my family for him.
07:42Bonded with him.
07:43I can still see that moment.
07:44But now he shouts, defiant.
07:46I will never regret this.
07:48I smile pittorly.
07:49Turn to the high priest.
07:50I consent.
07:52Sever the bond.
07:52The high priest raises his staff.
07:54Slashes through the bond connecting Raymond's chest to mine.
07:57Blood spills from my mouth.
07:58I stand my ground.
07:59Watch the gold mark on my throat fade.
08:01Slowly.
08:01The bond is broken.
08:04Raymond collapses.
08:05Hand to his chest.
08:06Gasping.
08:06He watches the mark on his throat fade.
08:08Then he rises.
08:09Relieved.
08:10And takes Amber's hand.
08:11And I see it.
08:12His alpha core.
08:13Dimming.
08:13Right before my eyes.
08:15Raymond hesitates.
08:16Looks to his parents like a coward.
08:17His mother rushes over.
08:19Grabs his arm.
08:19Raymond.
08:20Deny it.
08:21His father steps forward.
08:22Face dark.
08:23Voice grim.
08:23If this wedding doesn't happen today, all that bracket territory is gone.
08:27Get rid of her!
08:29Amber.
08:30My former wife returned, but she's lost her mind.
08:31She's been trying to frame me.
08:32But so you could become my Luna right away.
08:34I severed the bond.
08:35Just now.
08:36Amber looks at his pale face.
08:37Then at me.
08:38Confused and torn.
08:39Yes, dear.
08:39It's that low-blown Omega.
08:40She came here to ruin your coronation.
08:42You're too kind, Amber.
08:43That Omega wants to steal your alpha.
08:44Amber's confusion turns to anger.
08:46Steal my alpha?
08:47I believed your lies.
08:48Get out of my coronation.
08:50Now!
08:50The bridesmaids and guests erupt, shrieking, laughing, mocking.
08:53The guards haul me out.
08:54Again.
08:55Amber.
08:55Forget her.
08:56Please.
08:57Bond with me now.
08:58Let's carve our mark together.
08:59Raymond seizes her hand.
09:00Nods to the dark winger.
09:01To haul the high priest aside and step in.
09:03Finish the ritual.
09:04Before the doors close, a new mark is carved onto their skin.
09:07You didn't just sever our bond.
09:08You also used the dark weaver's black magic.
09:10Branded a false mark onto Amber.
09:12There may still be foolish girls like Amber.
09:14Blind with love.
09:15But Raymond.
09:15There's one thing you don't know.
09:16Your alpha power.
09:17It all came from me.
09:18Five years.
09:19Feeding you my blood.
09:20Today the bond is broken.
09:21And all that power.
09:22I've taken it back.
09:23Raymond.
09:23Enjoy this last celebration.
09:27Inside the hall, Raymond lifts Amber's hand.
09:30Declares her his new Luna.
09:31The crowd cheers.
09:32Sacred music swells.
09:33Outside.
09:34Rain.
09:34Pouring.
09:35Raymond's parents storm toward my cabin.
09:36A squad of sacred guard behind them.
09:37They shove the door open.
09:38Curl my worn silk cast into the mud.
09:39Like garbage.
09:40Get out!
09:40The new Luna's given the order, you crazy bitch!
09:43Get out of this pack!
09:44Now!
09:44My son shivers in my arms.
09:46Face flushed red.
09:47I stand in the downpour.
09:48Soak through.
09:49I bend down.
09:50Pick up the suitcase from the mud.
09:51Don't even think about crawling back to Raymond.
09:53You come near this pack again.
09:55I won't be so polite.
09:56I hold my son tighter.
09:57Turn my head.
09:57There he is.
09:58Raymond.
09:58Arms around Amber.
09:59Kissing her by the window.
10:00Amber beside him.
10:02Lost in bliss.
10:03Remember this day.
10:04Cast aside your wife.
10:05Your son.
10:06Thunder roars.
10:07My son wails.
10:08I turn around.
10:09Hold my boy close.
10:10Walk into the rain.
10:11Then, cold glitz of steel in the darkness.
10:13Raymond's parents had already sent their best soldiers.
10:15Closing in from the trees on both sides.
10:17One assassin couldn't kill you.
10:19Let's see you escape five of our finest.
10:22Shh, baby.
10:24Don't cry.
10:25Mama's gonna find us some shelter.
10:26Brew your medicine.
10:27Suitcase in one hand.
10:28My feverish son in the other.
10:29Stumbling through the mud.
10:30The rain blinds me.
10:31My foot slips.
10:32I crash down hard into the freezing mud.
10:34The suitcase flies from my grip.
10:35Bursts open.
10:36The dragons weep, swallowed by filth.
10:38Five assassins step out of the shadows.
10:40The greyback mark on their blades.
10:42Luna Cassia.
10:43Don't blame us.
10:44We're just following orders.
10:46I'm broken.
10:46Helpless.
10:47No strength left to fight.
10:48Is today the day I die?
10:49Five years ago, I was determined to marry Raymond.
10:51He had nothing.
10:52I defied my parents' fury.
10:54Snapped my scepter before the twelve elders of my family.
10:56My father struck my name from the family records with his own hand.
11:00If you walk out that door, we will never help you again.
11:02Daughter, don't do this.
11:04Come home.
11:05But I made my choice.
11:06For love, I severed all ties with my family.
11:08Hid my royal blood.
11:09For love, I gave everything to Raymond.
11:11Turned my back on every friend.
11:12Raymond would never betray me.
11:13He said he'd stay with me forever.
11:15And now, he marries another.
11:16Throws us out.
11:17Tries to end our lives.
11:18So this is it.
11:19Price of my foolish love.
11:20My life.
11:20My son's life.
11:21A silver blade drives toward my son's throat.
11:24Despair flashes through me.
11:25Shield my son with my back.
11:26Sorry, baby.
11:27Mommy couldn't protect you.
11:28A golden bolt of thunder slams down from nowhere.
11:31Strikes the charging assassin.
11:33He vanishes into black smoke.
11:35Then, massive wolves descend from the sky.
11:40Their howls tear through the air.
11:42Two assassins crash to their knees.
11:45Blood pouring from their mouths.
11:47The royal house of Wulfric?
11:49How is this possible?
11:52Two wolves rush to my side.
11:54Shift into human form.
11:56They see me in the mud.
11:57My daughter!
11:58Who dares harm my daughter and grandson?
12:00My father sweeps his right hand.
12:01The remaining assassins explode into blood mist.
12:04Cassia, are you alright?
12:05My sweet girl, don't be afraid.
12:07Mama's here.
12:07My pride shatters.
12:09Nothing left but regret.
12:10I told you, I don't need a royal title.
12:12And I don't need the high-ranking alphas you keep pushing on me.
12:14That wolf you love, he has no real strength.
12:17He's just using you.
12:18My mother lunges for my hand, weeping.
12:20Cassia, if you don't like this alpha, mother will find you another.
12:22I only love him.
12:24From this day on, whether I live or die, it has nothing to do with you.
12:27And I never looked back.
12:28And now, my family came to me.
12:29We came too late.
12:30My father drapes his heavy robes over me.
12:32Shields me from the rain.
12:33My mother wraps me in her silk cloak.
12:34Her trembling fingers wipe the mud from my face.
12:35And now, my family came to me.
12:37That man betrayed you?
12:38We'll kill him!
12:39Right now!
12:40I close my eyes, slowly.
12:41Force myself to swallow every drop of regret.
12:43When I open them again, my soft black eyes are gone.
12:45In their place, pure gold.
12:47Royal gold.
12:48Sacred light flowing through them.
12:49No.
12:50Father.
12:51Mother.
12:51I will strip him of everything.
12:53With my own hands.
12:54Raymond's power died with our bond.
12:56And the rest?
12:57His terry, his wealth?
12:58I'm taking it all back.
13:01Cassia.
13:02Raymond stands before the mirror.
13:03Bear tested.
13:04Smug.
13:05Raymond, where's my alpha strength?
13:06His veins bulge.
13:07He slams his fist into the stone wall.
13:09The wall, untouched.
13:10But his knuckles split open.
13:11Pain shoots through him.
13:12He staggers back.
13:13What's happening?
13:14My bones.
13:15Are they weakening?
13:16Even if I broke the bond with that low-born omega, I shouldn't be this weak.
13:19I can't even crack a stone.
13:21The door bursts open.
13:22Cassia.
13:23Raymond's steward stumbles in.
13:25Desperation on his face.
13:26Alpha, we have a crisis.
13:28The Council of Elders, they've sealed our borders.
13:30Have they gone mad?
13:31I just married Amber.
13:32Who dares move against my territory?
13:34His steward's hands shake.
13:36He holds out a decree, stamped with a blood-red royal wolf seal.
13:39No, it's not a rebellion.
13:41The Council is reclaiming everything.
13:42The hunting grounds.
13:43The army's silver armor.
13:44Even our estates.
13:45They all belong to House Cass-
13:46Cassia.
13:47This is impossible.
13:48She's nothing.
13:49A lone omega.
13:50A drifter.
13:50Where would she get the authority to reclaim my territory?
13:53Under packed law, without the output from these estates and hunting grounds.
13:55We can't even pay the army next month.
13:57And even this castle.
13:58Beneath your feet.
13:59It may be taken.
14:00We're being driven out.
14:00Raymond stares at the decree.
14:02His palms slick with sweat.
14:03Then, Amber walks in.
14:05Face pale, hand pressed to her neck.
14:06Raymond.
14:07You'd better explain.
14:09It's been one night.
14:10Why is this so-called sacred mark of true love on my neck, turning black and rotting?
14:17Raymond shoves the decree into a wardrobe.
14:18Waves his steward away.
14:19He lifts his head.
14:20A gentle smile, forced into place.
14:22He moves to embrace her.
14:23Amber.
14:23The Dark Weaver warned us.
14:25This happens when you sever an old bond.
14:26You can carve a new one too soon.
14:27It'll heal.
14:28Give it a few days.
14:29Amber steps back.
14:30Presses a handkerchief to her blackened neck.
14:32But last night, you never showed me an Alpha's true power.
14:35Raymond clutches his chest.
14:36Coughs hard.
14:37It was for you, Amber.
14:38I defied the Moon Goddess's punishment for you.
14:40That's why I'm wounded.
14:41And now you doubt me?
14:42Amber looks at him.
14:43Weak, pale.
14:43Her expression wavers.
14:44You?
14:45Really?
14:46It's from the Divine Punishment?
14:47Raymond steps in.
14:48Pulls her close.
14:49Whispers in her ear.
14:50Of course.
14:51A few more days.
14:52Once I've absorbed the crystals your family sent, I'll be healed.
14:55And then, I'll show you the full might of an Alpha.
14:57Raymond leans in to kiss her.
14:59Then, moves.
15:00Heavy, shouting outside.
15:01Alpha!
15:02The hunting grounds, sealed off!
15:03What did you say?
15:04The hunting grounds belong to Raymond.
15:06How can they be sealed?
15:07My queen, it's true.
15:08The hunting grounds, ownership reclaimed.
15:10We won't even have grain for the troops soon.
15:12Raymond, what's going on?
15:13How are the hunting grounds being taken?
15:15Amber, nothing's wrong.
15:18Wrap up your finest caronite nexus, too.
15:20I'm wearing them to the queen's tea tonight.
15:22Raymond's mother hears nothing.
15:23Turns around, slaps the counter.
15:25Impatient.
15:25The steward stands behind the counter, cold-faced.
15:28I'm sorry.
15:28Not only can you can't take these, I'll be reclaiming the ones you're wearing.
15:32Raymond's mother slams her palm on the counter.
15:34How dare you?
15:35My son is the grey-born Alpha.
15:36My daughter-in-law is a lady of house bracket, and you refuse me a few necklaces?
15:40Raymond's father steps forward, hand on the steel blade at his waist.
15:43A low-born omega shopkeeper?
15:45Daring to disrespect royalty?
15:46Wrap it up.
15:47Put it on Raymond's account.
15:48The steward pulls a notice from beneath the counter, stamped with a blood-red seal.
15:51I'm sorry.
15:52We've just been notified.
15:53Alpha Raymond's territories have all been reclaimed, and Luna Cassia has called in her debts.
15:56All the gold she advanced, taken back.
15:58Just then, Amber walks in.
16:00Jewelry box in hand.
16:02Her maid behind her.
16:03Amber!
16:03This man says he's taking our necklaces back!
16:05Luna Amber.
16:06Every necklace this lady is wearing, paid for by Luna Cassia.
16:09Now the original owner has withdrawn her funds.
16:11By law, we must reclaim them.
16:12Raymond's mother clutches the necklace at her throat, refuses to let go.
16:16No!
16:16It's mine!
16:17Amber, pay for it!
16:18The steward's gaze is cold.
16:20Amber's face burns with embarrassment, disgust.
16:22I was just about to pawn my own necklace for Raymond.
16:25What should I do now?
16:26Her maid steps forward, swaps Raymond's mother's hand away.
16:29My lady, it's time to call for help.
16:31Amber hesitates, then nods.
16:35In the center of Greybark's hall, Amber's father and mother stride in, faces hard.
16:39They pull Amber to their side.
16:40Raymond enters with pale face, cloaked.
16:42His parents trail behind him, stripped of their jewels.
16:45He forces a stiff smile, bows slightly to the Alpha.
16:48Alpha Brigger.
16:49Luna Brigger.
16:50To what do we owe this late visit?
16:51I haven't yet-
16:52Alpha Brigger slams his fist on the obsidian armrest, cuts him off.
16:55Nail.
16:56Raymond's legs buckle.
16:57He crashes to his knees.
16:58His parents collapse behind him.
16:59Raymond grits his teeth, looks up, panic in his eyes.
17:01Alpha Brigger.
17:02Please, tell me what has angered you so greatly.
17:05Alpha Brigger turns to an old witch doc beside him.
17:08A skull top stoff in his hand.
17:09Go, examine him.
17:11The old witch doctor rips open Raymond's collar, exposes the black mark on his neck.
17:15A faint stench of rot rising from it.
17:17He pulls a long needle from his grove.
17:18Thick black blood oozes down Raymond's neck.
17:20This is no divine punishment.
17:21This is a dark mark, forged by black magic.
17:24What about mine?
17:24Is mine false too?
17:25Amber's voice, urgent, desperate.
17:27Luna Amber.
17:28Yours is also forged.
17:29Black magic.
17:30He never received the moon goddess's blessing.
17:31Amber collapses into her mother's arms.
17:33Alpha Bracket rises, slowly, waves his hand.
17:35Raymond, three years of life to my family.
17:37It's time to settle the score.
17:40Alpha Bracken hurrs a stack of heavy parchment deeds at Raymond's face.
17:43Raymond, those gold jewels you gave Amber every month.
17:46The deep sea purrs.
17:47Not spoils of war from the border as you claimed.
17:50Every piece siphoned from Cassia's estates.
17:52Amber stares at her father.
17:53That's impossible.
17:54He told me he won them in battle on the border.
17:56Trophies for me.
17:57Alpha Brackle sneers, boots heavy on stone.
18:00He stops before Raymond, lifts his chin with the flat of his blade.
18:03Battle trophies?
18:04He was running back and forth, going home to his first wife and his son.
18:08I've already interrogated your steward.
18:09But they never died.
18:10They lived in a huddle, waiting for you to come home.
18:13Raymond clutches the potchments, wordless.
18:15His first wife, alive.
18:16The wealth, hers.
18:18So he's been lying to me?
18:19All along?
18:20Amber shoves her mother away, screams.
18:22That's not true!
18:22It's her!
18:23His first wife, Cassia!
18:24She hates Raymond!
18:25She's using dark magic against him!
18:27Amber draws the steel dagger from her waist.
18:29Eyes wild.
18:30She charges for the doors.
18:31I'm going to find that low-bled Omega!
18:32I'll make her hand over the cure!
18:34Her father's brow frellows.
18:36He seizes her wrist, bars.
18:38Stop, Amber.
18:39Amber, get a hold of yourself.
18:40Amber thrashes against him, hysterical.
18:42Let go of me!
18:43Let me find her!
18:43Get the cure!
18:44Save Raymond!
18:45No need to find me.
18:46I'm already here.
18:47I push the doors open.
18:48Step inside slowly.
18:51Amber freezes when she sees me.
18:53Then she raises her blade, points it at me.
18:55Cassia!
18:57Hand over the cure!
18:58Give me back my Raymond!
19:00I snap my fingers.
19:01Raymond's shattered Alpha Core flickers into view.
19:03How is this possible?
19:05Where's your Alpha Core?
19:06You think I cursed him?
19:07Poor Amber.
19:08Haven't you noticed anything?
19:10Your wedding night.
19:11Didn't anything surprise you?
19:12Amber's face falls further with each one.
19:14But last night, you never showed me an Alpha's true power.
19:17That night, his failure, her composure cracks.
19:19Want to hear something even more shocking?
19:21Raymond didn't rise to Alpha because of talent.
19:24For five years, every single month, I fed him my royal blood.
19:27Enhanced his power.
19:28Royal blood?
19:29You're an Omega!
19:30How do you have royal blood?
19:31He had nothing back then.
19:32And I was fool enough to follow him.
19:34I even cut ties with my own family.
19:37Luna Amber!
19:38Don't listen to her lies!
19:39She's a stray Omega we took in!
19:40House Greyhorn showed her mercy, sheltered her!
19:43She's the one who stole our lands!
19:44Our wealth!
19:45She practices black magic!
19:47She's trying to pass herself off as nobility!
19:49Daring to impersonate a noble hound?
19:51I'll drag you before the council!
19:53Who dares touch my daughter?
19:55Open your eyes.
19:56Look closely.
19:57See who I am.
20:00My father drives his royal greatsword into the stone floor.
20:03A golden shockwave ripples out.
20:05Raymond's parents slam against the wall.
20:06My mother holds up a sheet of parchment.
20:08For five years, these greedy fools pushed their son.
20:11Forced my daughter to sign a pact of devotion.
20:13Surrender all her lands.
20:14Thank the moon.
20:15We had the elders register only usage rights.
20:17Not permanent transfer to Greyburn.
20:19Luna Brackle takes the pageant, reads it.
20:21Her face darkens.
20:22Not just the hunting grounds, the beast pens, silver mines, military equipment, even Kasia's
20:28personal assets, all in the terms!
20:30Not just greed, pure cowardness.
20:31Raymond, tell me, who fortified the pact's borders these five years?
20:34Who managed the hunting grounds?
20:36Who bore the child?
20:37Who raised him?
20:38Raymond's face goes white.
20:40He looks at his parents.
20:41Both of them gag now.
20:42I just, I only listen to my parents.
20:44Yes.
20:45You only ever listen to them.
20:47When I was weak from childbirth, they scorned me.
20:49So you scorned me too.
20:51And while I was raising our child, you listened to them again.
20:53Found yourself another she-wolf.
20:54One who could lift you higher.
20:56Amber.
20:56Your new host.
20:58Amber stumbles back.
20:58Anne's crest to her temples, shaking her head.
21:01No.
21:01That's not true.
21:02I'm his one true love.
21:04Raymond's mother rips free of her gag.
21:05Luna and Amber, she's just jealous!
21:07She was a Luna.
21:08It was her duty to give everything to her alpha.
21:10She's the useless one.
21:11Week after childbirth.
21:12Of no help to my son.
21:13No help to Grey way back.
21:15A woman's duty is to give everything she has to her alpha.
21:17Amber stares at their twisted faces.
21:19Disbelief in her eyes.
21:20You...
21:21You told me I wouldn't have to do anything.
21:23That Roman would cherish me.
21:25In my arm, my son stirs.
21:26He opens his eyes.
21:27Faint gold light flowing through them.
21:29Filthy wolves.
21:30Let me show everyone who you really are.
21:33Every eye in the hall turns to my son.
21:35This is impossible.
21:37He was ill.
21:38How can he speak?
21:39I pat my son's back gently.
21:41Look coldly at Raymond's terrified face.
21:43Children of royal blood are born prodigies.
21:45Their souls awaken in the womb.
21:47The secrets you thought you hid.
21:48Transparent to a child.
21:49Always.
21:50My son sits up in my arms.
21:52Points his small finger at Raymond's parents on the floor.
21:54From the day I was born, they've been trying to kill me.
21:56They shut off the hearth.
21:58Tormented my mother.
21:59Made sure she had no milk to give me.
22:02Because they never wanted her to keep me.
22:04They just wanted to use her up, then throw her away.
22:07Shut your mouth!
22:08So young and already a liar!
22:10My son ignores their howling.
22:12Turns to Raymond.
22:13And you, my father in name only.
22:14The night before you married Amber, that assassin was your own beta.
22:18Amber's mind races.
22:19Pieces snapping together.
22:20She lunges at Raymond.
22:21Seizes him by the collar.
22:22Hauls him halfway off the ground.
22:24Amber's voice hysterical.
22:25Rage.
22:25Revulsion.
22:25Raymond!
22:26Now I understand.
22:27The night before our wedding, you said you were inspecting the border.
22:29Your beta disappeared that same night.
22:31You were going to kill-
22:32Let me explain.
22:33It was for our future.
22:34If she didn't die, I couldn't form a new bond with you.
22:39Amber slaps him across the face.
22:42I loved you.
22:43I trusted you.
22:44And you lied to me!
22:46Raymond scrambles up, reaches for Amber's skirt.
22:48Tears streaming down his panicked face.
22:50Amber, my parents forced me.
22:51Everything I did, it was for our future.
22:52The honor of both packs.
22:54Yes, Amber.
22:54You have to believe, Raymond.
22:55You're true mates.
22:56Honor?
22:57True love?
22:57You've been scheming against my family from the start, using me as your stepping stone.
23:02Amber tears free of their grip.
23:03I look at Amber.
23:03Nod.
23:04Thank the moon.
23:04She didn't become me.
23:05She finally sees through their lies.
23:07Amber, do you see now?
23:08My fate today is your fate tomorrow.
23:10Raymond's father still blusters, still pretending.
23:12Shut your mouth!
23:13Amber, the coronation is done!
23:15You are Luna of Greyback!
23:16If you turn back now, House Backel's reputation is destroyed!
23:19This day we swear, the whole pack will answer to you!
23:21I've made my decision.
23:22Amber walks toward Raymond.
23:23Her hand rests on the dagger at her waist.
23:25Amber, I knew you couldn't leave me.
23:28Blood drips from her palm.
23:30He stops.
23:30Amber grips her dagger.
23:32I, Amber Bracklin, I sever my betrothal to Raymond.
23:34I am no longer Luna of Greybear.
23:35No!
23:36Amber, you can't do this!
23:37Father, mother, I charge House Greyback with fraud and conspiracy to murder.
23:41I'm taking them before the High Council.
23:42Alpha Bracket nods, snaps his fingers.
23:44Outside, heavy armor, marching in perfect union.
23:47Dozens of guards flood the hall, chains in hand.
23:49Raymond's mother's face twists with rage.
23:51She lunges at Amber, seizes her hair, screams.
23:54You ungrateful little family, I'll drag you down with me!
23:56Amber doesn't hesitate.
23:57She drives her boot into Raymond's mother's chest.
23:59A crack, bones breaking, a shriek, a body flying backward.
24:02Amber sneers.
