Short filmTranscript
00:00My fated mate sold our daughter to a monster. I found her locked in a cell. 16 years old.
00:06Naked on a wooden plank, arms black with burnt scars, eyes fixed on the ceiling as if her mind had
00:11already fled her body.
00:12Her nipples were ripped off. The smell coming from between her legs told me enough without anyone saying a word.
00:18When I reached for her, she pressed herself into the wall.
00:21Don't touch me.
00:22My own daughter. Didn't know my face. Couldn't stand my touch.
00:27And every single person who let this happen, the alpha heir, the luna, and the high alpha himself, they all
00:33knew.
00:33They knew. And not one of them lifted a hand to stop it.
00:37They thought I was a weak mother. They forgot who I was. I'm the war alpha.
00:43At the gates of the royal stronghold, I finally came home.
00:46A decade ago, I left my 6-year-old daughter behind and marched to war to preserve the peace of
00:51our pack.
00:51Now, after all that time, I was back.
00:54My eyes swept through the crowd, searching for her.
00:57In my memory, Aurora was still soft and warm, smelling like honeysuckle and warm milk.
01:02Every morning, her small, chubby fists would grab fistfuls of my hair.
01:06She should have been 16 now.
01:08My chest ached at the thought of holding her again.
01:11High alpha Aldrich stood on the platform with the pack council waiting for me.
01:14The Greyholt family stood behind him.
01:16My mate, Dominic.
01:18His mother, Helena.
01:20His sister, Margot.
01:22All of them were dressed like this was some grand celebration.
01:25I studied every face.
01:27My wolf paced hard inside me.
01:29Something was wrong.
01:30Aurora wasn't there.
01:32Everyone else had come.
01:33Everyone but my daughter.
01:35Aldrich started his welcome speech.
01:37I cut him off.
01:39Where's my daughter?
01:40His smile locked in place.
01:41Then I caught it.
01:43That flicker in his eyes.
01:44Then I caught it.
01:45That flicker in his eyes.
01:47My stomach dropped.
01:48I'd spent 10 years reading enemy faces on battlefields.
01:51I knew what guilt looked like.
01:53Watch your tongue, Raven A.
01:55You're in the presence of the high alpha now.
01:57Show some respect.
01:58Dominic snapped.
02:00Dominic.
02:00My fated mate.
02:02I kept our mate bond intact for Aurora, so she could grow up with her father.
02:06The year Aurora was born, he brought his chosen mate into my pack.
02:09His own cousin, Vivian, gave him a daughter too, Celeste.
02:14I swallowed all of it.
02:15For my daughter, I endured every humiliation, every betrayal.
02:19I gave that man my lands, my warriors, and even my pride.
02:23Everything.
02:24And people in this kingdom still thought one word from him would tame me.
02:28I asked you a question, Dominic.
02:30Where is my daughter?
02:32He opened his mouth, ready to put me in my place, and then a woman came crashing out of
02:37the crowd.
02:37There was dried blood all over her arms and streaked down her neck.
02:41Luna!
02:42Praise the moon you're back!
02:44Please!
02:45They're killing her!
02:46You have to save Aurora!
02:50Nettie was Aurora's caretaker.
02:52I chose her myself, because the first time she held Aurora, my baby fell asleep in less
02:56than five minutes.
02:57She was the gentlest she-wolf I had ever met.
03:00Now the woman in front of me was skin and bones.
03:03Starved down to nothing.
03:04Her face so badly beaten I almost didn't recognize her.
03:07My wolf slammed against my ribs.
03:10A growl ripped out of my throat.
03:11That mutt is a traitor!
03:13Execute her on the spot!
03:14Lucien Volcrest.
03:16I was the one who arranged his match with Aurora.
03:18That marriage was the reason his mother, Isolde, became the Luna, and the reason he became
03:23the Alpha Heir.
03:24Everything they had came from me and from my daughter.
03:26And now he was standing there, ordering my daughter's caretaker to die.
03:30The enforcers closed in on Nettie, baring their fangs.
03:34Touch her, and I'll rip your fucking arms from their sockets.
03:37She belongs to me.
03:38Two-thirds of this kingdom's army was the Ashburn War Pack.
03:41My war wolves.
03:43If I turned on the crown, this kingdom would not survive the night.
03:46Everybody knew it.
03:48The warriors froze.
03:50I said kill her!
03:51Try me.
03:52A pulse of power surged through the pack link.
03:55Two thousand wolves stepped forward as one.
03:57The warriors stumbled back.
04:01That's enough.
04:02The boy spoke out of turn.
04:05Hand the woman over to Ravenna.
04:07She is, after all, our war alpha.
04:11I knew exactly what he was doing.
04:13Using his son to test me, to see whether I would still lower my head and fall in line.
04:18I didn't have time for his games.
04:20Nettie collapsed at my feet.
04:21So weak she could barely get the words out.
04:24Your daughter is dying.
04:26She's at Lord Fenwick's estate.
04:29If you don't go now, you won't see her again.
04:32Go!
04:33One thought kept pounding in my head.
04:35My baby is dying.
04:38Who the hell is Fenwick?
04:39He didn't exist when I left.
04:41Enough of this scene, Ravenna.
04:43You will return to the Manon with me.
04:45Now.
04:45The whole square went dead silent.
04:47Every wolf turned to look at me.
04:50Nettie grabbed my hand so hard her nails cut my skin.
04:52She was shaking all over.
04:54They remembered the woman who used to give in every time Dominic spoke.
04:58They were waiting to see if I'd do it again.
05:00Alpha, kill me if you want.
05:02I don't care.
05:03But go now.
05:05Please.
05:06If you wait much longer, you'll never see her alive again.
05:10The goddess is calling her home.
05:12Go!
05:13Before she's gone forever!
05:15I saw the fear in her eyes.
05:17She was afraid I would do what I had always done.
05:19Choose Dominic over my own flesh and blood.
05:21Ashworn Warpack to the Fenwick Estate!
05:24Anyone who stands in our way, shred them to pieces!
05:28Dominic stepped in front of my horse.
05:30Ravenna, you can't...
05:31My boot smashed into his face.
05:34He hit the ground hard, blood pouring out of his nose.
05:38If anything happens to Aurora, every last one of you dies!
05:42Then I tore out of the square, with 2,000 wolves pouring behind me like a breaking wave.
05:47Nettie led me into the high district, to a walled estate tucked behind iron gates.
05:51A servant at the entrance saw her and gave a cold little laugh.
05:55Back again?
05:56The Greyholtz don't give a damn about your little slut.
05:59They're the ones who sent her to Lord Fenwick's bed.
06:01He never got to finish.
06:03My fist shook his jaw.
06:04My wolves flooded through the estate.
06:07Nettie led me around to the back courtyard.
06:09The place was falling apart, rotted boards, a door hanging crooked on its hinges.
06:13Before I even touched it, the smell hit me.
06:16Rot.
06:17Blood.
06:17Something foul enough to turn the air solid.
06:20I shoved the door open.
06:22A girl lay on a wooden plank, covered with nothing but a few filthy rags.
06:27Scars from glowing coals crawled across her chest.
06:29Both her nipples had been torn off.
06:32The flesh between her legs was black and rotting.
06:34Her eyes were open, fixed on the ceiling, empty.
06:37If her chest hadn't still been rising, I would have thought she was already dead.
06:41Aurora.
06:43Aurora!
06:45My whole body started shaking.
06:47My hands shook so hard my sword slipped free and clanged to the floor.
06:50Nettie dropped beside the bed, crying so hard she could barely breathe.
06:54Baby, your mom is here.
06:55She came back.
06:57She's taking you away from this nightmare.
06:59Please, just look at her face.
07:00You said you missed her, remember?
07:02She's right here beside you.
07:04Open your eyes.
07:06Please, baby.
07:07Don't leave her like this.
07:08Aurora didn't move.
07:09She didn't even blink.
07:11She just stared at the ceiling like she couldn't hear a single word we said.
07:14My wolf was howling.
07:16The pain struck so hard that blood surged at my throat and poured from my lips.
07:19I couldn't stop it.
07:21Every wolf outside heard it.
07:23Alpha!
07:23General!
07:24I lifted one hand.
07:26Every voice vanished.
07:27I dropped to my knees beside the bed and reached for her face.
07:30My fingers were shaking.
07:32I hadn't even touched her yet when she flinched and crushed herself against the wall.
07:36No!
07:36No more!
07:37Please!
07:38Stay away!
07:39More blood filled my mouth.
07:40I forced myself to swallow it down.
07:43Then a voice cut across the courtyard.
07:45Old.
07:45Arrogant.
07:46Which of you mongrels dare trespass upon my lands?
07:50The second Aurora heard that voice, she started shaking even harder.
07:54Her body jerked.
07:55Then she started seizing, spasming all over.
07:58Don't touch me!
07:59Help!
07:59Mom!
08:00Mom!
08:00Help!
08:01The second she called for me, I answered.
08:03I reached for her, trying to pull her into my arms.
08:06But the moment I touched her, she shoved herself harder into the wall as though she meant to sink
08:11through the stone itself.
08:12Her empty eyes filled with tears, and she stared at the door, terrified.
08:18Nettie, wrap her in my furs.
08:20Keep her warm.
08:21Yeah.
08:21Then I picked up my sword and walked outside.
08:24Fenwick was out in the courtyard, screaming at my wolves.
08:28He had white hair, a swollen gut, and a cluster of young shoewolves gathered around him,
08:32dressed in little northernshire rags.
08:34He was shouting, his hands roaming freely over their bodies.
08:37Those girls wore the same look Aurora had.
08:39Empty, hollowed out.
08:41I looked at them and could almost see my daughter, Aurora in thin fabric, Aurora with his hands
08:46on her.
08:47Who the hell are you?
08:48How dare you bring warriors onto my state?
08:51Do you have any idea who I am?
08:54I am kin to the High Alpha.
08:58Dominic Greyholt is my blood.
09:00You touch me, and the entire council will have your head.
09:04The grandfather of the Alpha heir's mate, Dominic Greyholt's father-in-law.
09:08They knew.
09:09Every last one of them knew.
09:11He didn't get another word out.
09:12I shifted.
09:13My jaws tore straight through his throat.
09:16I ripped open his chest.
09:17His stomach.
09:18Everything that held that wretched body together.
09:21His guts spilled across the courtyard.
09:23I shredded him until there was nothing left you could even recognize as a man.
09:26Just blood, meat, and a severed head rolling to a stop by my feet.
09:31I shifted back and turned to the others.
09:33Gather what little you have.
09:35We're going to Greyholt Manor.
09:36I left with the girls.
09:38No one else did.
09:39I wrapped Aurora in my war cloak and carried her outside.
09:42She weighed almost nothing.
09:43Her heartbeat trembled against my chest, faint and faltering, as though it might give out at
09:48any moment.
09:49We rode hard for Greyholt Manor.
09:51My manor.
09:52The gates were shut.
09:53Two Omegas stood outside.
09:55The first one raised his chin.
09:57Lady Elena and Councilman Greyholt ordered you to kneel at this gate until morning for
10:00disgracing the pack's honor.
10:02That girl isn't allowed inside.
10:03She belongs to her mate.
10:05You are not bringing her in here.
10:07My daughter's heartbeat was almost gone against my chest.
10:10And these two bastards were telling me to kneel.
10:13My war wolves lined up behind me.
10:15Two thousand of them.
10:16They had held Aurora when she was a baby.
10:18They had chased Aurora through the grass when she ran after butterflies.
10:21They were the men who let her tug on their capes and mess up their hair.
10:25The child who treated two thousand killers like her own family.
10:27And they had stood in that cell and seen what had been done to her.
10:30These wolves did not cry on the battlefield.
10:33Now every eye behind me was red.
10:35Alpha.
10:36Just give us the word.
10:38Let us rip this place down.
10:40For our little Luna's justice.
10:43Surround the manor.
10:45Everyone inside dies.
10:48The servants went white and started screaming.
10:51Pounding on the gates with both fists.
10:53The doors hadn't even opened yet before my wolves tore their heads off.
10:56I looked up at the crest.
10:58Greyholt Manor.
10:59Then I drove my boot into it and cracked it clean in two.
11:02I carried Aurora through the gate.
11:04The second I stepped inside, I froze.
11:06Wisteria.
11:07Everywhere.
11:08Thick purple clusters hung from every post.
11:10Spilling over the old sparring ring.
11:12The pollen hung so thick in the air it stung my eyes.
11:15Aurora was badly allergic to pollen.
11:17One bad attack could close her throat until she couldn't breathe.
11:20She almost died from it the year she was born.
11:23After that, I gave one order.
11:25No flowers anywhere on this estate.
11:27Anyone who disobeyed would die.
11:29I pulled my cloak tighter around Aurora, covering her mouth and nose, and moved fast under the trellis.
11:34If Aurora breathed this in, she could die.
11:36They know that.
11:37How the hell could they do this?
11:39Living in my house.
11:40Eating my food.
11:41Wearing my jewelry.
11:42And planting the very thing that could kill my daughter inside her own home.
11:46Cut it all down.
11:47Every lost piece.
11:48My wolves moved at once.
11:51Halt!
11:51Lay a finger on these blues and you'll answer to my brother!
11:55The scream came from across the courtyard.
11:57Margot Greyholt.
11:59Dominic's sister.
12:00She stormed toward us.
12:01Carrie carved into every line of her face.
12:03Dominic built this garden for his true mate.
12:06This garden cost him a fortune in gold.
12:08Don't you dare ruin it!
12:10His chosen mate.
12:11To make that woman happy, Dominic filled my estate with the one thing that could kill my daughter.
12:16Margot saw Aurora in my arms and instantly pressed a handkerchief over her nose.
12:20The disgust in her face, like my daughter, was a rotting piece of trash.
12:23Mother and my brother were perfectly clear.
12:26That brat is banned from these grounds.
12:30She belongs to Fenwick now.
12:32Even if she dies over there, that has nothing to do with us.
12:35You need to get on your knees and apologize to the Alpha here.
12:38She poisoned the here and Salelta, then ran off with her lover.
12:42His grace showed mercy by not punishing her.
12:44But if it were up to me, I would have beaten her to death and fed her body to the
12:48rogues!
12:49I slapped her.
12:50She crashed to the ground, blood and two teeth scattering across the stone.
12:55You hit me?
12:56When Lucien finds out!
12:58I drove my foot into her chest.
13:00She flew backward and slammed into one of the trellis posts.
13:03Blood burst out of her mouth.
13:05And for the first time, fear crawled into her eyes.
13:08I planted my boot on her chest and looked down at her.
13:11This is Ashburn Manor.
13:12I was a damn fool for ever letting your family move in.
13:15Aurora's pollen allergy can kill her.
13:17Everyone in this house knows that.
13:19Your brother planted a whole garden for his chosen mate.
13:21My daughter could die and he didn't care.
13:24I left Aurora with all of you.
13:26Every one of you swore before the moon goddess that you would protect her.
13:29You broke that oath.
13:31Now I'm collecting.
13:33She clawed at my boot, nearly choking.
13:35Mercy, Robinane!
13:36She wheezed.
13:37Please, it wasn't my choice.
13:40You held me.
13:41You bathed me.
13:42Remember?
13:43I'm your girl.
13:44Your little Margo.
13:46You can't kill me.
13:47You loved me once.
13:49Please!
13:49Something twisted hard in my chest.
13:52On one thing, she wasn't lying.
13:54I did raise her.
13:55After Helena gave birth, she was too weak to care for the baby.
13:59I fed Margo.
14:00Bathed her.
14:01Held her when she cried.
14:02She was one year older than Aurora.
14:05The two of them had grown up side by side.
14:07Aurora used to follow her everywhere, always pressing her finest treasures into her hands,
14:11calling her Mar in that small, soft voice.
14:14And Margo stood there and watched them destroy her.
14:17I fed you from my own hand.
14:19I loved you as my own blood.
14:21And in return, you helped them slaughter my child.
14:25Then I put all my weight down one last time.
14:27Crack!
14:28Her begging stopped.
14:29One hand was still clutching my boot.
14:31Her eyes stayed open even after she stopped breathing.
14:34I looked at her for one second.
14:36That face I had watched grow up.
14:38Then I stepped away.
14:39A scream tore across the courtyard.
14:44Margo!
14:45My Margo!
14:47It was Helena, Dominic's mother.
14:49She was here too.
14:50Right then, Aurora moved in Nettie's arms.
14:53Her voice drifted across.
14:55Mom?
14:55I went straight to her.
14:57Nettie had my war cloak wrapped tight around her.
14:59Aurora's eyes were open, still empty.
15:02But this time, she was looking at me.
15:04I knelt beside her.
15:06I was so close, but I could barely smell anything on her.
15:10Just the faintest trace of honeysuckle.
15:12So faint I almost thought I imagined it.
15:15There was no time to think about that.
15:17Helena threw herself over Margo's body.
15:20Margo!
15:21My Margo!
15:22Her screams ripped through the yard.
15:24Then she lifted her head and looked at me.
15:26Ravena!
15:27You rat!
15:28You killed her!
15:30I will see you rot in the abyss!
15:32I will bury you and that little rock in the same filth as my daughter!
15:36Inside, Aurora heard Helena's voice.
15:39She pressed herself into Nettie's arms and began to murmur, lost in some waking nightmare.
15:44Grandmother, please.
15:46I didn't steal them.
15:47I just wanted my mother.
15:49The letters were for her.
15:50Only for her.
15:51My blood ran cold.
15:53Grandma!
15:53The pond is so cold, there's ice on it!
15:57I didn't push Mr. Letha in!
15:59She dragged me down with her!
16:00Please let me out!
16:01I can't take it anymore!
16:03My hands started shaking.
16:05Grandma, I didn't drug my sister and the alpha here.
16:08I walked in on them together in Mother's chamber.
16:11Grandma, I don't have a lover.
16:13It's a setup.
16:14It's not like what they said.
16:15You can't make me hurt!
16:16The whip was stuffed in salt water.
16:18I stood there listening as Aurora begged through one horror after another, and my legs almost
16:22gave out under me.
16:23What the hell had they done to her all these years?
16:26Raveena!
16:27Go to hell!
16:29Helena shrieked, rushing at me with a dagger.
16:31I twisted aside and kicked Helena to the ground.
16:34She clawed her way back up, spitting blood, glaring at me like I wronged her.
16:38You dare defy me?
16:40You dare strike your matriarch?
16:41I am your mate's mother, you ungrateful cur!
16:44You should die to pay for Margaret's life!
16:46I'm the only reason you were allowed to keep the Greyhill name!
16:49Otherwise, Dominic would sever your mate bond today and throw you out of the pack!
16:54Aurora's voice carried from inside again, raw and terrified.
16:57Mom, save me.
16:59I'm so scared of Grandma.
17:01It hurts.
17:02I don't want to die.
17:03Mom, Mom, you can't die either.
17:06She was terrified.
17:07Terrified I would do what I had always done before, give in for Dominic's sake and accept
17:11Helena's terms.
17:12I pulled Aurora tighter against me.
17:14She was so light.
17:1616 years old, and she weighed less than a 10-year-old child.
17:20Everything is fine, sweetie.
17:21I'm here.
17:22I got you.
17:23My voice softened.
17:24No one is ever hurting you again.
17:26You are not going to die.
17:28And neither am I.
17:30The people who hurt you.
17:32Your father, your grandmother, even the ones sitting last, one of them pay.
17:36Helena was still screaming.
17:38I handed Aurora back to Nettie.
17:41Then I walked toward her.
17:43I wrenched the dagger from her grip and drew it across her throat, deep enough to steal
17:47her voice, not deep enough to end her life.
17:50Helena's eyes flew wide.
17:52She clutched at her bleeding throat and made these wet.
17:55When I accepted Dominic, you were a withered she-wolf, too frail to even nurse your own
17:59pup.
17:59So I raised Margit.
18:01I was the one who put meat in her mouth.
18:03I kept your bloodline alive.
18:05I raised both of you as my own.
18:07The year I went to war, you cried and swore you would protect Aurora.
18:12You swore it before the moon goddess.
18:15And how did you repay my mercy?
18:17You beat her with switches.
18:19You held her down in ice water.
18:22You whipped her with leather soaked in salt.
18:24You did that to a six-year-old child!
18:26The rage in Helena's eyes finally cracked.
18:29Fear rushed in.
18:30Killing you would be too easy.
18:32I loosened my grip on her clothes.
18:34She crumpled to the ground.
18:35I turned to my war wolves.
18:38From this moment on, Helena Greyhulf is cast out of the pack.
18:42Sever her pack link.
18:43Strike her name from the pack rolls.
18:45She is no longer under Greyhulf protection.
18:48From this second on, she is a rogue.
18:51I felt her presence in the pack link snap like a thread.
18:54The pain hit her a hundred times harder than anything I could have done by hand.
18:58Her mouth opened.
19:00No sound came out.
19:02Fear flooded her face.
19:04Real fear.
19:05Send word to every pack.
19:07No pack, large or small, is allowed to shelter Helena Greyhulf.
19:11If any pack dares grant her shadow or salt,
19:14they will face the full fury of 2,000 aspirin blades.
19:18Helena lay there on the ground, blood and tears all over her face.
19:21She wasn't afraid of dying.
19:23She was afraid of what came after this.
19:26Becoming nothing.
19:27No pack.
19:28No one answered her call.
19:30Alive, but alone.
19:32Until the day she died.
19:34I never looked at her again.
19:36I sent wolves to the manor storehouse for herbs.
19:39Aurora needed treatment now.
19:40But when my warriors came back, they brought back nothing.
19:44The servants dropped to their knees.
19:45I looked around once and before I could even speak, one of them blurted it out.
19:49Celeste is about to give birth.
19:51Dominic and Vivian took every bit of herbs from the manor and brought it to the alpha
19:55hare stronghold.
19:57Aurora clutched my hand.
19:59Mom, it hurts so much.
20:01This is your manor.
20:03Why won't you give me anything for the pain?
20:05The storehouse is full of salves and herbs.
20:08Mom, I'm so cold.
20:09I don't want the goddess to take me.
20:12If I'm gone, who will be left to love you?
20:15Those remedies were mine.
20:16I had spent my whole life collecting the best herbs and treatments I could find, better
20:20than what they kept in the high alphas moonhaul.
20:22And my daughter lay rotting without so much as a poultice, while Dominic and Vivian stripped
20:27my stores bare for Celeste.
20:29All warriors to the alpha hare stronghold.
20:33Dominic, Vivian, Celeste.
20:36Every last one of you was going to die today.
20:40I tried to settle Aurora onto the blankets inside the carriage.
20:43The second I moved, she grabbed my hand again.
20:46Mom, don't leave me.
20:47Don't leave me.
20:48I'm so scared.
20:50Please.
20:51So I held her and hummed softly, the way I used to when she was small.
20:55Gradually, the shaking eased.
20:57She leaned into me.
20:59The carriage reached the alpha hare stronghold.
21:01Alpha, there's an army outside the estate.
21:04The one leading them is General Garrick Whitmore.
21:07Garrick Whitmore.
21:08A legendary general, the kind people spoke about the same way they spoke about my father.
21:12He commanded one third of the kingdom's army.
21:15I carried Aurora out of the carriage.
21:17Garrick stood across from me, white haired, back straight as a blade.
21:21Ashburn's child.
21:22This should be a good day.
21:24You came home victorious.
21:26Listen, go home.
21:28Had it been anyone else standing in my path, they would already be dead.
21:32But General Whitmore once saved my father's life.
21:35So I walked toward him with Aurora in my arms.
21:37His warriors tensed as one.
21:39My warwolves braced at my back.
21:42Then Aurora moved.
21:43She turned to look at Garrick and held out a hand to him, bearing her face and arms.
21:48She was deathly pale.
21:50Fresh wounds crossed over old ones.
21:52Silver burns had branded themselves into the skin alongside the lash marks.
21:56Grandpa Whitmore.
21:58Her voice was worn to nothing.
21:59Whitmore stared at her.
22:01I'm Aurora.
22:04Raven's daughter.
22:05The day mum left for war, you held me and watched her go.
22:10You told me my mum was a guardian.
22:13That because of her, everyone else got to live in peace.
22:17You said you would look after me for her.
22:20Aurora coughed.
22:22Blood ran from the corner of her mouth.
22:24Baby.
22:25Garrick's face changed.
22:26This is Aurora.
22:30How did this happen?
22:31The Greyholt family told me she was fine.
22:33They said she found someone she loved.
22:35The High Alpha and the Alpha here told me they had let the matter go.
22:37That she left on her own.
22:39How did she end up like this?
22:41They lied to me.
22:43And they lied to you.
22:45Grandpa Whitmore.
22:46I never had a lover.
22:48I caught them.
22:49Celeste and the Alpha hair.
22:51Rotting like beasts in my mother's own bed.
22:53My father and the High Alpha.
22:55They tried to break me.
22:56They demanded I sign away my honour for their sins.
22:59But I am my mother's daughter.
23:01I would not bow.
23:03So they sold me to that monster, Fenwick.
23:06If I hadn't been waiting for mum to come back,
23:09I would have died at that estate already.
23:12Grandpa Whitmore, if you don't believe me,
23:15Celeste is giving birth today.
23:17She hasn't even been mated to the Alpha heel for six moon cycles.
23:21How could she be having a full-grown pup?
23:24That hit me all at once.
23:26Aurora had been locked in Fenwick's cell.
23:28How did she know Celeste was giving birth today?
23:31How did she know when their mate bond was made?
23:33I didn't have time to think it through.
23:35Garrick had already sent people to check.
23:37They came back fast and leaned into whisper in his ear.
23:40His face darkened.
23:42Then darker.
23:43Then his whole body started shaking.
23:46Those faithless crows!
23:48Why the hell would the High Alpha lie to me?
23:50They told me Lord Fenwick's land was restitution for the Alpha heir and Celeste
23:53because Aurora had destroyed their bond, so this is the truth!
23:56Fine.
23:57I'll deal with the High Alpha.
23:58I'm going to ask him to his face why he lied to us.
24:01I need to ask that bastard Dominic why he did this to my daughter for ten straight years.
24:05Garrick was silent for a few seconds.
24:08Then he ordered his warriors to clear the way.
24:10Spare the pup.
24:12If you can't give me an answer, then whatever you choose to do after that, I won't stop you.
24:17This kingdom was built by the Ashburn family.
24:19You're the one who's been holding it together.
24:22No man, not even the High Alpha shall treat an Ashburn like a dog.
24:25Then he turned and marched off with his warriors.
24:30I walked into the Alpha heir's stronghold and heard screaming coming from the birthing room.
24:35Two people were standing outside the door.
24:37Dominic and Vivian.
24:39They were both staring at the entrance.
24:41Neither of them saw me.
24:43I stepped up behind Dominic and pressed my dagger into his lower back.
24:47His body went rigid.
24:48But his voice stayed the same as ever, cold, arrogant, like he still thought he owned the heir around him.
24:53Ravena, put the weapon down.
24:55This is the Alpha heir's stronghold, not some place for your insolence.
25:00Vivian turned around.
25:01The second she saw me, tears flooded down her face.
25:06Ravena, what's wrong?
25:07Is this because Dominic came with me to be here for Celeste's labor instead of waiting for you back at
25:12the manor?
25:12It's my fault.
25:13Don't blame him.
25:14Celeste is the Alpha heir's mate.
25:16She's carrying his first pup.
25:18I was scared something might go wrong, so I asked Dominic to come with me.
25:21If you need someone to blame, let it be me.
25:24Please don't let this hurt your bond.
25:26I hadn't even opened my mouth yet, and somehow she had already turned herself into the victim.
25:31I remembered the year she moved in.
25:33Back then, I still loved Dominic.
25:36She was always like this, crying without making a sound, letting Dominic think I was the one hurting her.
25:42We fought over her so many times, and every fight shaved away another piece of what I felt for him.
25:47If you have a grudge, take it out on me.
25:49Leave Vivian out of this.
25:50He still couldn't turn around.
25:52The dagger in his back made sure of that.
25:55Dominic, I only have one question.
25:57Why did you do this to Aurora?
25:59Why did you hand her over to Lord Fenwick?
26:01The Greyhound pack never mistreated Aurora.
26:04Lord Fenwick was personally appointed by the High Alpha.
26:07Aurora wronged Celeste first.
26:09She cheated, dragged the Greyhound name through the dirt, and disgraced this family.
26:14She climbed into Lord Fenwick's bed all on her own.
26:17That was her choice.
26:18Vivian sniffled softly beside him.
26:21Celeste is about to give birth.
26:22You humiliated the Alpha hare at the city gates today.
26:25For Celeste, for her child, and to give the Alpha hare an explanation.
26:29I need you to sever our mate bond willingly.
26:32Vivian will become my only mate.
26:34Don't worry.
26:35I won't cast you out of the pack.
26:37You can stay.
26:38Vivian is not like you.
26:39She knows how to behave.
26:41She doesn't make everything difficult.
26:44Since you're already here, go tell the High Alpha you're agreeing to sever the bond voluntarily.
26:49Aurora moved in my arms.
26:51Aurora!
26:52Vivian jumped.
26:54Ravena, are you out of your mind?
26:56You actually brought Aurora here?
26:57She drugged Celeste and the Alpha here.
26:59The Alpha healed hates her.
27:00Bringing her here is the same as sending her to die!
27:05I drove the dagger into Dominic's stomach.
27:07He stopped in the middle of the sentence.
27:09Then he looked down at the blade buried in him.
27:12Ravena, you're actually dead.
27:15Why?
27:16Vivian threw herself onto him, her face flushing red.
27:19Ravena, what are you doing?
27:21Do you think Celeste stole Aurora's place?
27:23Do you think we drove Aurora away?
27:25Even if we'd wanted to, we never would have dared touch her!
27:28Go ask anyone at the manor what kind of life Celeste and I had all these years under Aurora's rule!
27:34Dominic pulled her behind him, shielding her with his body, then looked at Aurora with open disgust.
27:40Tell your mother the truth.
27:41Your mother protects this kingdom.
27:43How could she give birth to something as vicious as you?
27:46And you're still lying right to our faces.
27:48What the truth is?
27:49St��
27:49Where are you
27:49If we get a grip?
27:50Tommy
27:50I'm
27:50I'm
27:50I'm
27:50I'm
