Terrified by the danger surrounding him, she disappears and raises the twins alone, believing she can protect her children from the ruthless politics of the werewolf world. But destiny refuses to let them stay apart forever. Years later, fate brings them face to face again, and the Alpha President immediately senses the bond he never forgot.

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