I Lost Everything To A Widow’s Lie

Short filmTranscript
00:00The day I went into labory with our quadruplets, my fated mate, Alpha Caleb, took the only dose of the
00:07moonflower potion.
00:08The elders prepared this rare elixir, specifically to protect me.
00:13All because another she-wolf, Serena, was also going into labor.
00:17He locked me in the bedroom, ignoring my painted cries, even after my water had broken.
00:23Serena is the widow of my best friend Ethan, and I promised him I'd take care of her.
00:28Serena, I can't break my promise.
00:31She's always been fragile, and she's delivering today.
00:35You still have three days until your due date.
00:37Relax, once she delivers safely, I'll find another moonflower for you.
00:40It won't hurt our pups.
00:42Until then, stay quiet, and don't disturb Serena.
00:45I begged him, blood pooling at my feet, to come back and take me to the hospital.
00:51But he coldly shut me out of our mind plank.
00:58Caleb stayed by Serena's side all night, not leaving until she safely delivered her pup.
01:03Only then, did he finally remember me, but a guard's trembling voice came through the phone.
01:08Alpha, the manor, it's on fire!
01:11The room is covered in blood, and the Luna, she's gone.
01:15They took her!
01:16In that moment, the stoic Alpha Caleb broke.
01:20Caleb, put the potion down!
01:22I stood in front of him, my hands cradling my swollen belly.
01:25Heavy with rare quadruplets, I could barely stand straight.
01:28He shoved the vial of moonflower potion into his pocket.
01:32Serena's in labor. She needs this.
01:34The elders prepared that for me!
01:37I'm carrying four pups. Without the moonflower, I could die in childbirth.
01:41Caleb, they're your children, too!
01:43But your due date isn't. For another three days.
01:48His eyes meeting mine with a...
01:49And Serena has always been frail.
01:51Without this, she and her pup could die on the operating table.
01:55Stella Ethan died saving me.
01:57I promised I'd look after his widow.
02:00But I think I'm going into labor, too.
02:03I've been having pains all day.
02:04Enough!
02:07You used that same excuse to pull me away from Serena's side when she fell last time.
02:12Stella, you're being selfish.
02:15To make sure you don't bother Serena today, you're staying here.
02:19Caleb...
02:19I warned you.
02:20He turned and walked away.
02:22The heavy door swung shut in my face, followed by the sound of a lock clicking into place.
02:26I stood frozen for a few seconds before it sank in.
02:29I rushed to the door, pounding on it with my fists.
02:32Ah!
02:33Caleb, open the door!
02:35Don't lock me in here!
02:36I'm serious!
02:37I'm really going into labor!
02:39No response.
02:41My gut clenched in a violent spasm, and a warm rush of liquid ran down my legs.
02:47My water broke.
02:48I looked down at the spreading puddle at my feet, and fear, cold as ice, shot through me.
02:53I slammed my hands against the door with all my strength.
02:56Guards!
02:57Is anyone out there?
02:59I'm in labor!
03:00Call a doctor!
03:03Luna.
03:04It was Marcus, one of the oldest guards in the pack.
03:06The Alpha ordered us not to disturb you.
03:08He said you were... unstable.
03:11I'm not unstable!
03:12My water broke!
03:14Luna.
03:15The Alpha said you might say that, but your due date isn't today.
03:19Marcus!
03:21I'm your Luna!
03:22I order you to open this door!
03:24I'm sorry, Luna.
03:26The Alpha's orders are absolute.
03:28The footsteps faded away.
03:30I slid to the floor as a sharp, twisting pain ripped through my abdomen, forcing me to curl
03:35into a ball.
03:36No, I couldn't just wait here to die.
03:39I crawled to the living room, fumbled for a dagger in a drawer, and stumbled back to the
03:44door.
03:46I tried to pick the lock.
03:48The dagger scraped uselessly against the metal with a clang.
03:51The lock didn't budge.
03:53Wiping sweat from my eyes, I looked closer.
03:55The lock was reinforced with a new alloy casing.
03:58It was new.
03:59When did he change it?
04:01This wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision.
04:03He had planned this all along.
04:04To lock me away.
04:05To clear the path for Serena.
04:09Another, more violent contraction hit me, and I collapsed.
04:12The blood was already soaking the hem of my dress.
04:15I felt a faint stir from the cups inside me.
04:17I couldn't give up.
04:18Not on my bobeys.
04:19I focused, pushing with all my might to reach Caleb through our mind link.
04:25But his side of the links was a cold, hard wall.
04:29He had blocked me.
04:31I pulled out my phone.
04:34He declined, again and again.
04:36I kept dialing as I crawled toward the sofa, every breath feeling like my insides were being
04:41torn apart.
04:43A long, dark trail of blood followed me.
04:49Stella, are you done with your tantrum?
04:51I'm busy with Serena.
04:54Can you stop being a jealous brat for one minute?
04:57My water broke.
04:58I'm bleeding.
04:59The babies are coming.
05:03Caleb, my water broke.
05:05I'm bleeding.
05:06The babies are coming.
05:08He scoffed, a sound full of scorn.
05:12Stella, you'll really say anything to get me to come back, won't you?
05:17I'm not.
05:20That's enough.
05:21I have to deal with things here.
05:23Stop bothering me.
05:24He was about to hang up.
05:25I looked down at the growing pool of blood beneath me and used my last ounce of strength
05:29to scream into the phone.
05:31Caleb, for the sake of our pups, just call a doctor!
05:36For a split second, the line went silent.
05:39In that instant, a sliver of my agony shot through our mate Bond, the one he'd almost
05:44completely severed.
05:45I heard him gasp.
05:46His cold tone finally cracked.
05:49Stella?
05:50You?
05:51I'm not lying.
05:53Caleb, I'm really dying.
05:55I pressed my cheek to the cold floor, tears mixing with the sweat on my face.
05:59In the tiny clap of our link he'd left open, I could feel his hesitation, his panic.
06:04Yeah, I'll have a doctor check on you, if I find out you're lying.
06:09Kayla!
06:10Alpha!
06:11She's hemorrhaging!
06:12Her blood pressure is dropping!
06:14It was followed by the sound of frantic footsteps and a nurse shouting,
06:18Serena!
06:19Caleb's voice was sharp with fear.
06:23Stay with me, look at me.
06:27Caleb!
06:28I croaked his name.
06:29Hold on, Stella.
06:31I'll send someone over later.
06:32The line went dead.
06:34I held the phone, staring blankly at the call-ended message on the screen.
06:40So, even if I was truly dying, it meant less to him than the slightest possibility of danger to Serena.
06:47Another contraction seized me, and I curled into a ball.
06:51I don't know how much time passed.
06:53Half an hour?
06:54An hour?
06:55My phone suddenly rang again.
06:59Carolee!
07:00Hemorrhagia, you did this, didn't you?
07:04What?
07:05Stella, I am so disappointed in you.
07:08I thought you were just selfish.
07:10I never thought you could be this vicious.
07:12How can someone like you be the mother of my pups?
07:15I screamed, a metallic taste flooding my throat.
07:18It wasn't me!
07:20Caleb, I can't even get out the door.
07:22I don't know any nurses.
07:24Someone framed me.
07:25Enough.
07:26I know you're jealous of Serena.
07:28I told you it's because she's Ethan's widow, but you refused to listen!
07:32And now you try to kill her!
07:34No, no.
07:35I shook my head wiltly, unable to say anything else.
07:37We were destined mates.
07:39I had been his Luna for five years, but none of that mattered next to Serena.
07:44I see now that all your talk of dying was just another lie.
07:47Stella, this time, you will be punished.
07:49I was about to send Beta Ryan to get you, but now I see you don't need it.
07:52I'm pulling the guards.
07:54You can stay there and think about what you've done until you learn your lesson.
07:57I looked at the blood beneath me, at my own weak body, and let out a hollow, mocking laugh.
08:01I was his Luna, yet he punished me for a crime I didn't commit while I actively miscarried
08:06at his pups.
08:06Could anything be more absurd?
08:08I lay there, helpless, as waves of intense pain washed over me.
08:11The next second, the lights overhead flickered and died with a pop.
08:15The entire Manson plunged into darkness.
08:17The night air grew cold, the chill from the floor seeping into my bones.
08:20I knew this was also Caleb's punishment.
08:22He wanted me to reflect in the cold and dark.
08:24I lay in the pool of blood and began to shiver, this time from the cold.
08:27The pups inside me seemed to sense something was wrong.
08:29Their movements became hantic, then weak, like a desperate plea for help.
08:33Babies, I'm sorry.
08:35Mommy is so sorry.
08:36I don't know how much later it was, when I heard a sound at the door.
08:41I looked up, a flicker of hope in my heart.
08:45Luna, are you alright?
08:47I was worried, so I came to check on you, against the Alpha's orders.
08:53Oh, goddess.
08:54Luna, what happened?
08:56Why is there so much blood?
08:57In a panic, he pulled out his phone and started a video call with Caleb.
09:04Alpha, it's not good.
09:06The Luna wasn't lying.
09:07She's in premature labor.
09:08Her water broke a long time ago.
09:10There's blood everywhere.
09:12Ryan, who gave you the nerve to defy my orders?
09:15Have you started lying for her too?
09:17What did she offer you?
09:19Alpha, I'm not lying.
09:21The Luna has lost a lot of blood.
09:22She's incredibly weak, and she needs a doctor now.
09:24Look, if you don't believe me.
09:27Miss Serena has given birth.
09:29It's a healthy pup.
09:30This is wonderful.
09:32Look at the Alpha.
09:34He cares so much for Serena and her pup.
09:36He held her hand the whole time.
09:38When the pup was born, he was so happy, he almost cried.
09:41If you didn't know better, you'd think he was the father.
09:43Yeah, he definitely cares more about them than the Luna.
09:46Serena, I swear, I will love this child as my own.
09:50He will want for nothing and hold the same status as a true-born heir of this pack.
09:54I listened to it all.
09:57Listening to my mate celebrate another woman and her child, while the little lives inside
10:01me faded away.
10:03It's okay.
10:04You can hang up now.
10:06My own heart seemed to die in that moment.
10:09Ryan, please.
10:10Take me to the hospital.
10:11Not for me.
10:12For my children, please.
10:14Ryan looked at me, covered in blood.
10:16His eyes filled with pity and conflict.
10:19Okay, Luna.
10:20I'll take you.
10:22As Ryan turned to get the car ready, I struggled to stand up.
10:25I looked around the manor I had lived in for five years.
10:29I once thought it was my home, but now it felt like a cold tomb.
10:33I grabbed the lighter from the table and set the curtains ablaze.
10:36The flames shot up, consuming the wedding portrait of Caleb and I that hung on the wall.
10:40Just like my love for him, it all turned to ash.
10:43Luna, what are you doing?
10:45I watched the roaring fire.
10:48I never want to see this place again, and I'm never coming back.
10:52Ryan rushed me to the best private hospital in the pack.
10:57Doctor, someone help!
10:59The Luna is in labor!
11:00But the entire building was eerily quiet.
11:04He grabbed a passing nurse.
11:06Beta, all the senior doctors are celebrating with the Alpha for Miss Serena's successful delivery.
11:11We only have interns on duty right now.
11:13Damn it!
11:14He tried calling Caleb again, hoping to get him to send a doctor over.
11:18But the call went unanswered.
11:21I lay on the cold gurney, the warmth slowly leaving my body.
11:24I placed a hand on my belly.
11:25During my pregnancy, whenever I did this, I could always feel them moving, as if they were saying hello.
11:31Babies.
11:33Babies, please move.
11:34Mommy is begging you, just move a little.
11:37I felt a single faint flutter beneath my palm.
11:40Just one.
11:42Baby, just hold on a little longer, please.
11:45After what felt like an eternity, Ryan finally came running back, dragging a doctor with him.
11:50The doctor quickly began to examine me.
11:52But as he looked at the monitor and my condition, his face fell.
11:57Luna, I'm so sorry.
11:59The pups have been in distress for too long.
12:01A quadruplet birth is already difficult.
12:04With the moonflower potion, there might have been a chance.
12:06But now, I can only detect one heartbeat.
12:08The others are already.
12:10My babies.
12:12Three little lives who had struggled inside me, who had wanted to see this world,
12:16had died because of their father's cold heart.
12:18Luna, we have to perform surgery immediately, or the last pup will be in danger too.
12:22Then do it.
12:25Before they willed me into the operating room.
12:27Don't tell Caleb I'm here.
12:29And don't tell him about the pups.
12:31Ryan looked into my tear-filled eyes and finally nodded.
12:35Meanwhile, the fire at the manor had grown out of control,
12:38and the patrolling wolves finally noticed something was wrong.
12:41What's going on?
12:42There's a fire!
12:43The Luna is inside!
12:44Put it out!
12:44Hurry!
12:45Break down the door!
12:46Heavy thuds slammed against that damned door.
12:48Finally, it broke open.
12:50Serena had delivered safely.
12:52And Caleb finally felt a sense of relief.
12:54Just then, he got a call.
12:56Alpha, I found the moonflower you were looking for,
12:58but the seller is asking a very high price.
13:00Buy it.
13:01I don't care about the price.
13:03Stella needs it.
13:04Yes, Alpha.
13:05The unease that had been nagging at him finally eased.
13:08He had sent his men to find a second potion a month ago, just for this day.
13:12He was glad it had arrived before Stella went into labor.
13:16Caleb unblocked his side of the mind link, ready to share the good news.
13:20He'd kept her locked up for a while now.
13:23Surely she had learned her lesson.
13:25She was his mate.
13:26After all, he never really wanted to hurt her.
13:29But he was met with silence.
13:32Usually, Stella would have responded to him with warmth and excitement.
13:37That's when his phone rang.
13:39It was a guard from the manor.
13:41Alpha, the manor is on fire.
13:43The room, it's covered in blood.
13:45And the Luna, she's gone.
13:49Caleb rushed back to the manor like a madman.
13:51The once luxurious estate was now a heap of burning ruins and blacked ash.
13:56Stella, where are you?
13:58Answer me!
14:00Alpha, it's too dangerous.
14:02Get back!
14:03Get off me!
14:04Cade abroared furiously, throwing a vicious punch that sent Marcus flying.
14:09Cade sprinted into the wreckage, digging through the scorching wooden beams with his bare hands.
14:14His nails cracked.
14:15His fingers bled.
14:16But he felt no pain.
14:18Only one thought echoed in his mind.
14:20Stella might still be in there.
14:22He dug for what felt like hours, only finding a half-burnt scrap of their bonding ceremony portrait.
14:27In the photo, Stella smiled so sweetly, but now half her face was charred.
14:31Right next to it lay a silver ring, their bonding ring.
14:34Stella never took it off, but now it was discarded in the ashes like trash.
14:38Alpha, calm down.
14:39We searched the perimeter.
14:41There's no body in the ruins.
14:42The Luna isn't here.
14:43She escaped.
14:44Caleb froze.
14:45He suddenly snapped his head toward Ryan, who stood silently in the back.
14:48He grabbed Ryan by the shoulders, shaking him violently.
14:51Where is she?
14:52You know you.
14:53Why didn't you tell me she was bleeding?
14:55Ryan kept his head down, avoiding eye contact.
14:58Alpha, I was following your orders to ignore the Luna, and I did tell you.
15:02You just didn't believe me.
15:03Caleb's hands dropped.
15:04He remembered.
15:06Search.
15:08Mobilize everyone.
15:09In a hoarse, broken voice, he commanded.
15:11Tear the pack lands and the surrounding territories apart if you have to!
15:14Find Stella and bring her back!
15:15Yes, Alpha, and walked away.
15:17Ryan paused, simply replied.
15:19Caleb clutched his chest.
15:20The mate bond was completely hollow, dead silent.
15:23Regret began to gnaw at his heart like venomous snakes.
15:27The sharp smell of disinfectants woke me up.
15:30I opened my eyes to a pure white ceiling.
15:32It didn't look like our pack clinic.
15:34I had been transferred to a private healing center, outside the territory.
15:39You're awake.
15:40A medic strolled over and handed me a sticky note.
15:42It was Ryan's handwriting.
15:44Luna, this is a neutral healing center.
15:46I've wiped your tracks.
15:47The Alpha can't find you for now.
15:49Rest well.
15:49I will keep you and the pup hidden.
15:51I let out a breath of relief and turned my head.
15:54In the incubator next to my bed lay a tiny, fragile wolf pup.
15:58He was hooked up to tubes, breathing weakly, but he was alive.
16:03My pup.
16:04I tried to sit up, but a truck-like pain crushed my body.
16:08The healer stepped in, gazing at me with deep sympathy.
16:12Luna, although one pup survived, the damage to your body was too severe.
16:17You won't be able to have pups ever again.
16:21My body went completely stiff as a sharp pain pierced my heart.
16:25I lost three pups, and I was sterile now.
16:28And the murderer who caused all this was my own mate.
16:31I closed my eyes.
16:33Tears slid down silently.
16:35Hatred burned like wildfire in the wasteland of my heart.
16:39I opened my eyes and wiped away the tears.
16:42I am not letting this go.
16:44I will make them pay with their lives.
16:47I reached out through the mind link to my best friend, Chloe.
16:51Chloe, I need your help.
16:54Stella?
16:55Oh my goddess, are you okay?
16:57I heard the manor burn down and Caleb is going crazy looking for you.
17:01I'm fine, Chloe.
17:03But I need you to do something.
17:05Get me a DNA test on Serena's newborn pup.
17:07Fast.
17:08You suspect the pup isn't Ethan's?
17:11Done.
17:12I know someone at the lab.
17:13Chloe was sharp.
17:14I'll have the results by tonight.
17:16I cut the link and looked at my phone.
17:18Dozens of missed calls and voicemails from Caleb.
17:21I played one.
17:23His pathetic, raspy voice echoed in the quiet room.
17:27Stella, where are you?
17:28Please, just text me back.
17:31I just want to know if you and the pups are safe.
17:34I found the moonflower.
17:35I have the best healers waiting.
17:37Please come home.
17:39I was wrong, Stella.
17:40Please.
17:41I listened with a completely blank expression.
17:43I felt nothing but disgust.
17:45It was almost laughable.
17:47Did he listen to me when I was the one begging?
17:50That night, Chloe stormed into the room, absolutely furious.
17:54Stella, you were right.
17:56That bastard isn't Ethan's.
17:58Chloe's face was dark with rage as she slammed a file onto my bed.
18:02That bitch Serena played everyone like fools.
18:05Chloe hissed, pointing at the DNA results.
18:07Look here.
18:08The pup has rogue DNA.
18:10It's not Ethan's bloodline.
18:12It's a bastard she had with a rogue.
18:14I stared at the paper.
18:16It was so tragic.
18:18It was funny.
18:19Caleb killed his own pups for a rogue's bastard.
18:22She faked the pregnancy timeline to trick Caleb into protecting her.
18:26Chloe trembled with anger.
18:28And that PAC medic who caused her hemorrhage?
18:31I had my enforcers interrogate her.
18:33Serena paid her 50 grand to inject the anti-coagulant herself just to frame you.
18:37So that was the truth.
18:38I finally laughed out loud.
18:40But as I laughed, tears streamed down my face.
18:43How ironic.
18:44Serena's frame up was so incredibly obvious.
18:47Yet Caleb bought it instantly.
18:48Simply because he never trusted me.
18:50Stella, let's go back to the PAC right now and rip that bitch to pieces.
18:55Chloe grabbed my hand, ready for war.
18:57No.
18:58I wiped my eyes, my gaze turning icy.
19:02Exposing her right now is too easy.
19:04I want them to fall from heaven, straight down to hell.
19:07I pushed myself up.
19:08Send this evidence, along with the recordings of Caleb locking me up and refusing to get
19:13me a healer to the Council of Elders.
19:14Send the DNA report and the meds' confession to Caleb anonymously.
19:19I want him to see exactly what kind of filthy trash he sacrificed his own pups for.
19:23In PAC law, mating with a rogue, deceiving an alpha,
19:26and harming an alpha's true heir were all crimes punnable by death.
19:30I'm on it.
19:31Chloe's eyes gleamed with vengeful excitement before she turned to leave.
19:35Watching her go, I gazed back at the fragile pup in the incubator.
19:40Mommy is going to avenge your siblings.
19:42Caleb searched for Stella day and night with zero leads.
19:45Get out!
19:46All of you, get out!
19:48He violently swept all the files off his desk.
19:51He utilized every resource at his disposal.
19:54Yet Stella vanished into thin air.
19:55His eyes were bloodshot.
19:57He was on the verge of total collapse.
19:59His laptop screen lit up with an anonymous email.
20:02The truth about Serena's pup.
20:04Caleb didn't want to care, but the title made him freeze.
20:07He clicked it.
20:08And then he saw the files that made his brain short short cook.
20:11Serena's pup was a rogue's bastard.
20:13In an attached video, the medic cried.
20:17Serena paid me to do it.
20:19She said if I framed the Luna, the Alpha would discard her.
20:23And once she became the new Luna, she'd pay more.
20:27Caleb's whole body began to shake.
20:29The brutal truth hit his inner wolf so hard.
20:32It caused physical pain.
20:34No.
20:36No!
20:37He clutched his head, letting out a roar of absolute despair.
20:41Right at that moment, the office door swung open.
20:44Serena strolled in, holding the pup.
20:46Alpha, the pup won't stop crying.
20:48I think he needs his father.
20:49Caleb's eyes burned with rage and disgust.
20:51His Alpha aura exploded violently.
20:53He lunged forward and grabbed her by the throat.
20:55The pup fell onto the sofa.
20:56Caleb?
20:58What are you doing?
20:59Serena choked, her face turning purple.
21:01She slapped frantically at his arm, terror filling her eyes.
21:04Caleb's eyes shifted to a terrifying glowing gold.
21:06The sign of a wolf completely losing control and ready to tear its prey away.
21:09Tell me whose fucking pup this is!
21:12But she quickly fell back on her tears.
21:14It's not what you think.
21:15I was forced.
21:16I was so scared the pack would throw me out.
21:17I had to lie.
21:18Ethan, do this for Ethan.
21:20You promised him you'd take care of me.
21:21Please forgive me.
21:22Shut up!
21:23Don't you dare say his name!
21:24Caleb's veins popped on his forehead.
21:26He swiped to the next photo.
21:27You look pretty happy here, you filthy liar!
21:32And Stella?
21:33Why did you frame her?
21:34Do you know that because of your lies, I lost my Stella?
21:37Realizing her lies were completely busted, the weak, helpless act vanished from Serena's
21:42face.
21:42Looking at the maddened Caleb, she suddenly let out a sharp, hysterical laugh.
21:46I framed her?
21:47Did I force you to lock her in the house?
21:49Don't act like a victim, Caleb.
21:51You enabled me.
21:52You were the one who didn't promise Stella and locked her in.
21:54And you were the one who read the phone when it was you for help and took the moonflower
21:56away.
21:57You are the one who killed her.
21:58Shut up!
21:59Guards, cripple her inner wolf and take her bastard.
22:02Caleb's voice sounded like a demon from hell.
22:04Throw them into the deepest pit of the silver cells.
22:07Without my orders, no one lets them out.
22:08I want them to beg for death.
22:10Yes, Alpha.
22:12Caleb collapsed to the floor like a broken mare.
22:17Stella, I was wrong.
22:19Please just reply.
22:20I destroyed Serena.
22:22I got revenge for our pups.
22:23Where are you?
22:24Please let me see you.
22:25I'll let you kill me if you want.
22:27Stella!
22:28His beta rushed in with a highly conflicted expression.
22:31Alpha, we have news on the Luna.
22:33Where is she?
22:34Get the car!
22:35I'm bringing her home!
22:36We...
22:37We found her.
22:38But when we tried to approach her, the Council of Elders stopped us.
22:41What did they say?
22:43They said, because you abused your fated mate and caused the death of pack heirs, you no
22:47longer have the right to go near the Luna.
22:48And the Elders have ordered you to stand trial.
22:50So, Untied Her, we are...
