Short filmTranscript
00:00When the blood moon rose, the entire black river forest scene died in a shade of dark crimson.
00:05The towering hinds swayed in the night long, and between their branches came the low pancing of the night.
00:10In the distance, a bonfire was ringed by warriors, its flames illuminating wolf-blown totems, the silver moonstone, and the
00:15man about to be named Alpha, Mason Blackwood.
00:18Tomorrow, he would stand before the moonstone and take the mantle of Alpha, and I, Elena Shaw, would stand at
00:23his side as his fated mate of Black River's Luna.
00:25At least, that was what I believed, until tonight, the hunt was over.
00:28The warriors had gathered around the fire, drinking, jeering, jostling one another.
00:32Tara Quinn sat beside Mason, one boot propped on a wooden stool, her short hair damp with sweat, laughing loud
00:36and wild, and unapologetic.
00:38She was the female warrior who had trained alongside Mason since childhood.
00:40In Black River, everyone knew how close she had Mason worn.
00:43She could fling an arm over his shoulder without a thought, walk into his training room unannounced.
00:46And whenever someone raised an eyebrow, she would grin and say,
00:49Relax, I'm his pack brother.
00:51I had once tried to believe that, until tonight, when the drinking game landed on her.
00:55Someone shouted, egging her on,
00:56Tara, come on, you and Mason, seriously, just brothers?
00:59He ever leave an alpha mark on you?
01:02Laughter rucked around the fire.
01:03Mason, who had been leaning back in his chair, stiffened.
01:06Tara, don't.
01:10But Tara rose slowly, like she'd had one drink too many.
01:12A glass in one hand, the other hooked lazily over her belt.
01:15She looked at me and smiled.
01:16Why shouldn't I say it?
01:17Elena's the future Luna.
01:18She's gotta be the most generous of all.
01:20A cold fist closed around my heart, then she lifted the hem of her battle tunic.
01:23A dark red, wolf-shaped mark.
01:25Not an ordinary scar.
01:26It was a mark left by alpha energy.
01:28The imprint carried Mason's scent so clear that my mate mark flared white hot.
01:32Silence crashed over the bonfire.
01:33Every pair of eyes found me.
01:35Beneath my collarbone, the silver-white mate mark cracked open,
01:37a hairline fracture splitting through it.
01:39Pain spread along my veins like poison.
01:41I could barely keep my feet.
01:42Mason lunged to his feet and stepped in front of Tara.
01:44Tara, enough!
01:45Tara let her tunic fall and shrugged.
01:47Oh, don't be so tense.
01:49I nearly died at the border once.
01:51Mason used his alpha energy to save my life.
01:54That's all.
01:55She looked at me and her smile was innocent.
01:56Elena won't mind, right, sister-in-law?
02:00Every time she called me that, it felt like a reminder.
02:02And all I could do was accept it.
02:03The blood moon hung its red light across my face.
02:05And all I felt was a cool so deep it hollowed me out.
02:08He saw what the mark did to me.
02:09And he still stepped in front of her.
02:15When the party ended, I followed Mason back to the alpha house.
02:17He didn't say a word the entire way.
02:19Only when we were inside did he press his fingers to his brow, exhaustion in his voice.
02:23Elena, don't let tonight get inside your head.
02:25That's just how Tara is.
02:26She never learned where the line is.
02:28I looked at him.
02:29That mark is real.
02:32Silent.
02:32Cold crept into my fingertips.
02:34I told you, after tomorrow's Luna ceremony, I'll give you the most honored mark there is.
02:37But she already carries yours.
02:41So she gets to bear your alpha mark in front of everyone and I, your fated mate, get to stand
02:46there and be made a laughingstock?
02:47His expression darkened.
02:48It's not the same.
02:50She was dying.
02:51I saved her.
02:52Elena, don't be so sensitive.
02:53Tara's my pack sister.
02:55Her father saved my father's life.
02:57And now the wolf venom's spreading through him.
02:58The healers say he doesn't have much time.
03:00She's just hurting.
03:01So, I held his gaze.
03:02Mason looked away.
03:03For a long moment, he said nothing.
03:05Then his voice low.
03:05Tomorrow's Luna ceremony.
03:07Give it to Tara first.
03:10What did you say?
03:12Her father's last wish is to see her stand at my side as Black River's Luna.
03:16It's just a ceremony.
03:17Once he closes his eyes in peace, I'll give you another one.
03:20Just a ceremony.
03:21The Luna ceremony before the Moonstone is a Pax acknowledgement of its Luna.
03:25It's not just a wedding.
03:26It is dignity.
03:27It is the Moon Goddess's blessing.
03:29It is where the mate bond is meant to be completed.
03:31I had waited five years, and what I got was Mason saying it lightly.
03:34Give it to her first.
03:36I understood then.
03:37You're right.
03:38The most important thing for a wolf is keeping your word.
03:41He thought I'd agreed.
03:42He even stepped forward to pull me into his arms.
03:43Mason, I'm tired.
03:44I stepped back.
03:45I want to be alone for a while.
03:47He thought I was still silking.
03:48He sighed, turned, and went to call the elders to arrange for the change of Luna's name at tomorrow's ceremony.
03:52I went to our room and pulled down my suitcase.
03:54In five years, I had filled this room with so many things.
03:56Medicine boxes, shirts, calming herbs, the soda water he liked.
04:00I took none of it.
04:02In the end, I took only my identification papers and my Luna gown.
04:05The one not yet finished with its final silver thread embroidery.
04:08Before I walked out, I dialed a number I hadn't touched in a long time.
04:12Elena.
04:13But the moment I heard his voice, tears fell.
04:15Adrian, you said once, if my mate ever didn't want me, you would take me away.
04:24Silence on the other end.
04:25Two heartbeats.
04:26Long enough that I thought he'd forgotten that boyhood promise under the moon.
04:29Then he said,
04:30I never took it back.
04:34Before I could leave, the door swung open.
04:36Why is your alpha house still so damn big?
04:38That hallway's as long as the border patrol route.
04:40I told you to ease up on the drinks.
04:42Mason was back.
04:43Elena.
04:43Then he looked up and saw me.
04:44Tara's staying here for a few days.
04:46My grip on the suitcase handle tightened.
04:48Here?
04:48Her dad's condition is bad.
04:50Her emotions are all over the place.
04:52The healers say the wolf venom is spreading.
04:54She could break at any moment.
04:55He said it so naturally.
04:57The alpha house has guards.
04:59And it's easier for me to look after her.
05:01I'll get you some water.
05:09Before I could speak, Tara was already moving through the house.
05:12Ten minutes later, she walked out of Mason's private bathroom.
05:14Your clothes really are the most comfortable.
05:16She was wearing a black alpha robe.
05:17I had washed that robe too many times to count.
05:19Mason, what are you standing around for?
05:21Come here.
05:22Tara, that's my mate's robe.
05:24Elena, don't be so uptight, okay?
05:26Mason and I have been sleeping in the same training tent since we were kids.
05:28When you're at war, who cares whose clothes are whose?
05:30Stop trying to niddle her.
05:32What's he faking for?
05:34Mason and I have been sleeping in the same training tent since we were kids.
05:37When you're at war, who cares whose clothes are whose?
05:40She ducked her head and sniffed the collar.
05:42Besides, I've worn it before.
05:43Pretty comfortable.
05:44Stop trying to niddle her.
05:45Mason's brow creased.
05:46But he didn't tell her to take it off.
05:47And he didn't tell her to get off that bed.
05:49I suddenly felt ridiculous.
05:50Boundaries, I realized, were something only I had been guarding.
05:52Mason, if I'm still supposed to be your Luna tomorrow,
05:54then she shouldn't be wearing your clothes and sitting on our bed.
05:57His face darkened.
05:58Elena, you know what kind of person Tara is.
05:59In my eye, she's no different than one of the guys.
06:01Tara immediately hooked an arm around his...
06:03Exactly.
06:04If I really wanted to steal him, do you think you'd still be bound to him after five years?
06:08She shot me a smirk.
06:09You don't actually think I'd fall for him, do you?
06:12I watched their casual, effortless closeness, and something in me went quiet.
06:16I picked up my suitcase and turned toward the door.
06:18Oh, crap.
06:19I got my trainings all dirty.
06:21Mason, deal with this for me.
06:22Tara, are you insane?
06:23You want me to deal with that?
06:25What's the big deal?
06:26You're my brother.
06:27You got sick during training once, and I wiped your boots clean.
06:30Not long after, Mason walked out, holding those soil training pants.
06:32He looked at me.
06:33Elena, she's not in a good place right now.
06:35I don't know how to handle this.
06:36Help her out.
06:37I stared at the clothes in his hands.
06:38The mate mark over my chest had gone numb from pain.
06:42Without thinking, I drew my hand back and slapped him hard across the face.
06:46The crack rang through the hallway.
06:48Mason Blackwood.
06:49I looked at him, and I spoke each word clearly and coldly.
06:51I am not your maid.
06:53And I am not the Luna you hand out to pay off your debts.
06:56Elena, what are you making a scene about now?
06:57His eyes went cold, degree by degree.
06:59I'm not making a scene.
07:00I'm leaving.
07:01My voice was quiet.
07:02Every time, every single time.
07:03Is this fun for you?
07:05I've said it a hundred times.
07:06Tara is just my pack sister.
07:07Her father saved my family.
07:08I owe her.
07:09So that gives you the right to hand my Luna ceremony over to her?
07:12To let her wear your clothes, sleep in my bed, and make me wash her filthy pants?
07:15You have to make it sound so ugly.
07:17Go cool off somewhere for a few days.
07:18After tomorrow's ceremony, I'll come get you.
07:20No need.
07:21I turned and walked away, and then the sound of their familiar roof housing.
07:25I stood outside the Alpha house.
07:26The blood moon had not yet set.
07:27Rain began to fall, soaking my hair and the garment bag in my arms.
07:31My phone buzzed.
07:34Adrian had sent an address.
07:37The moon shrine is open for me.
07:40The car had just left Black River Territory when my phone buzzed again.
07:43A push notification from the pack circle.
07:45Tara had posted an update.
07:47The photo showed her in my Luna gown.
07:49The moon woven ceremonial robe I had spent half a year preparing by hand.
07:52Now, it was on Tara.
07:55She stood before a mirror, and Mason was there.
07:58The comments were already exploding.
07:59Tara looks way more like a Luna than Elena ever did.
08:01A strong female warrior.
08:03That's who belongs at an Alpha's side.
08:05Elena's just some soft Omega.
08:07She could never hold Black River.
08:09I stared at that photo, and my fingers tightened.
08:11Turn around.
08:13Miss?
08:14Back to Black River.
08:1520 minutes later, I pushed open the door of the Alpha house again.
08:19The living room was packed with Mason's friends and warriors.
08:21They had Tara at the center, laughing, jeering.
08:23The noise was grating.
08:24Tara was wearing my Luna gown, spinning in the middle of the crowd.
08:27Didn't know you had it in you, Tara.
08:29You've actually got the look of a Luna.
08:31She's got way more presents than Elena ever did.
08:33Tara spotted me, and a grin split her face.
08:36You came back?
08:37The dress is nice.
08:38Too damn girly, though.
08:39She spun around again, deliberately.
08:41I walked toward her.
08:43Take it off.
08:45Fine.
08:45Off it goes.
08:46She reached back to pull at the silver moon clasp.
08:48It was a moon goddess clasp.
08:50It only opens when the wearer releases their energy with a calm mind.
08:53Tara didn't know that.
08:54She just yanked.
08:54In that instant, every moon pattern on the rope flared to her.
09:00Tara!
09:01The ceremonial rope tore and fell as the light needed.
09:03She took half a step back.
09:04Don't blame me.
09:06The thing's just too fragile.
09:07Enough, Elena.
09:09It's just a dress.
09:10When all this is over, I'll buy you a better one.
09:12Just a dress.
09:13I stared at him, uncomprehending.
09:15His brow was furrowed, his voice thick with irritation.
09:17Just a dress.
09:19He knew exactly what this gown meant.
09:20Mason.
09:21Do you know something?
09:22I spent all this time wondering if I didn't do enough.
09:25He knew how many nights I'd stayed up.
09:26If I was too quiet, too easygoing, too unfit to be a Luna.
09:30Now I know.
09:31I pressed my hand over the split mate mark beneath my collarbone.
09:34It's not that I wasn't good enough.
09:36Elena, don't say things you can't take back.
09:38Outside the window, the Blood Moon was swallowed by Black Cloud.
09:40Mason Blackwood.
09:42I, Elena Shaw, under the witness of the Moon Goddess, reject you as my mate.
09:47He freaked out.
09:47Elena, have you lost your mind?
09:49The mate bond isn't something you gamble on a tantrum.
09:51From this moment, you are no longer my Alpha.
09:53And I am no longer your Luna.
09:55Mason let out a choke throne and dropped to one knee.
09:57I shook from the pain, barely able to stand.
09:59I gathered the torn, ruined ceremonial robe in my arms and turned and walked out.
10:04Miss Shaw, we've been waiting for you.
10:08The territory of the Northern Crown Pack lay north of Seattle.
10:12The deeper the car went into the mountains, the farther the city lights fell away.
10:17In the distance, snow peaks reflected the moon in a cold, pale white.
10:21When the car entered Pac-Man's, I saw the enormous wolf-formstone pillars that flanked
10:25the road, their eyes set with silver-blue moonstones.
10:28This was the Northern Royal Bloodline.
10:32Adrian Vale stood on the steps waiting.
10:33It had been years.
10:34He no longer looked like the silent boy I remember.
10:37Behind him, the phantom shape of a great black wolf rose faintly.
10:40The mark of a silver moon crown rested on the wolf's forehead.
10:44Just one look and the wolf inside me quieted on instinct, not from fear.
10:47He let you leave like this?
10:49I left on my own.
10:50He didn't press.
10:52He only slid his coat from his shoulders and draped it over mine.
10:56Cold?
10:57I froze.
10:58So many people tonight had watched me hurt.
11:01Watched me humiliated.
11:02Watched my dignity ground into the dirt.
11:04Adrian, I rejected Mason.
11:07I know.
11:09The mate bond is broken.
11:11I have no Pac now.
11:13No Alpha.
11:17Elena, you are not some discarded Omega.
11:19I lifted my head and met his eyes.
11:21You are a lunar.
11:22The moon goddess.
11:25As a dispone after him.
11:31He reached his hand toward me.
11:33A bitter laugh escaped me.
11:34You don't have to comfort me.
11:36I'm not, I'm not, I'm not comforting you.
11:39His gaze dropped to the scrapes on my arm.
11:40Rain and blood had mixed together, but along the edges of the wounds.
11:44Thin silver patterns glimmered under the moonlight.
11:49Adrian's eyes changed, truly changed, for the first time.
11:52He took my wrist gently.
11:54Does it hurt?
11:55It doesn't.
11:56Don't lie to me.
12:02Elena.
12:03This isn't ordinary blood.
12:06The moonstone is answering you.
12:19He led me into the moonshrine.
12:21There were no lamps inside.
12:23Only moonlight pouring down through the open dome above.
12:26In the center rested a great silver moonstone, its surface shifting like water.
12:30Adrian guided me into the moonlight.
12:32The moment I stepped onto the stone platform, the wounds on my arm flared with silver light.
12:36Silver lines traced along my veins, spreading like vines climbing over skin.
12:41And then, the wounds began to heal.
12:44I stared at my own arm in shock.
12:46Adrian stood below the platform, his gaze deep and steady.
12:49Silver wolf bloodline.
12:50The most ancient lunar bloodline in all the legends.
12:53They were not the appendages of alphas.
12:56They were the moon goddess' own blessing upon the mortal world.
12:59They could soothe feral wolf spirits, stabilize a pack's fortune,
13:04and even summon the white wolf in a moongoss' judgment.
13:08Impossible.
13:11I'm just an ordinary omega from Black River.
13:14An ordinary omega wouldn't make the moonstone glow.
13:18I turned.
13:20Behind me, silver light was slowly gathering across the moonstone's surface until it formed a name.
13:26Elena Shaw.
13:30Adrian came to stand before me.
13:32The first time I saw you, I knew you didn't belong to Black River.
13:36Then where do I belong?
13:38He held my eyes.
13:39His gaze was calm, but certain.
13:42You don't belong to anyone.
13:44But if you're willing,
13:46Northern Crown will become your home.
13:49I looked at his outstretched hand.
13:51This time he didn't say he would possess me.
13:53And he didn't say he would save me.
13:56He said home.
13:58I placed my hand in his palm.
14:02Adrian.
14:03I am willing to become Northern Crown's Luna.
14:06His hand closed around mine.
14:08The moonstone blazed with light.
14:10Beyond the shrine,
14:11every wolf in the Northern pack lifted its head and howled.
14:14Three days later,
14:16the Moonlight Hotel,
14:17top floor dome hall.
14:18On the surface,
14:19this was the most expensive hotel ballroom in Seattle.
14:23In reality,
14:24it was the Moon Ritual Ground,
14:26shared by the werewolf elite of Western North America.
14:29The wolf banners of every pack hung around the perimeter.
14:33Black River's flag was mounted on the east wall.
14:36The Black River wolf pattern looked cold and proud beneath the light.
14:41This was where Mason and Tara's Luna ceremony would be held.
14:45On the same day,
14:46in the same hall,
14:48Northern Crown would hold my official coronation.
14:54I arrived at the hotel while Adrian was still handling a matter with the Elder Council.
14:59I had just stepped into the lobby when the elevator on the far side opened.
15:03Tara heard my name and looked up,
15:05the smile on her face frozen.
15:07I was wearing the silver-white gown Adrian had prepared for me.
15:10No Black River indignia.
15:12It didn't belong to any pack.
15:14It belonged only to me.
15:16Mason saw me too,
15:17and his whole body went rigid.
15:19His alpha aura flickered,
15:21unsteady.
15:22Tara's gaze fixed on my gown,
15:23and something dark and envious flashed in her eyes.
15:26Then, without warning,
15:27she charged at me and shoved me hard.
15:29My back slammed into a stone pillar,
15:31and the skin of my arms scraped raw.
15:33Along the wound,
15:34silver blood patterns glimmered and vanished.
15:37Elena, what the hell is wrong with you?
15:39You know my dad's dying wish was to see me become Luna,
15:42and you still show up dressed like this?
15:44Just to rub it in?
15:46Elena,
15:48I used to think you were just being stubborn.
15:50I didn't think you'd actually show up to my ceremony to make a scene.
15:55Mason,
15:57my groom today isn't you.
16:02He let out a sharp, humorless laugh.
16:05Not me?
16:07Then what are you doing here,
16:08dressed like that?
16:10Elena,
16:10stop pretending.
16:11You just want me to regret it.
16:12You want to force me to turn back.
16:14I looked at him.
16:15This time,
16:16I didn't even have the energy to be angry.
16:19Tara's been playing Pax Sister for so long,
16:21and you've been playing blind just as long,
16:23haven't you?
16:24What did you say?
16:27You call yourself his brother,
16:30but everything you do is aimed at stealing the Luna's place.
16:34You wore my sacred robe.
16:36You slept in my room.
16:38You carry his alpha mark.
16:40And now you're standing in the center of my moon array.
16:44Do you really think no one sees through you?
16:46The words were barely out when Mason's hand cracked across my face.
16:49The entire lobby fell silent.
16:52My head snapped to the side,
16:53my ears ringing.
16:56Mason,
16:56let it go.
16:58She just loves you too much.
17:00As if those words were a trigger,
17:02Mason snatched up a glass of red wine and worched it across my gown.
17:05Red wine streamed down the silver white moon patterns.
17:08Get out.
17:08Stop making a disgrace of yourself at my ceremony.
17:11No one in that lobby spoke.
17:12Only my gown beneath the stain of red wine gave off faint threads of silver light.
17:16Before I could move,
17:17the atmosphere inside the hall suddenly collapsed.
17:19The silver lines around the moon array flashed.
17:21Every glass on the drinks table began to tremble.
17:24Mason froze.
17:25Then the invisible pressure struck him.
17:27His feet left the floor,
17:28and he was whirled back into the drinks table.
17:30Surrounding guests stumbled away.
17:32Adrian walked through the parting crowd without lifting a hand.
17:35Before I realized he had arrived,
17:36he was already beside me,
17:38shielding me from their stares.
17:40He gently supported my injured right wrist.
17:42His eyes moved from the scrape to the mark on my left cheek.
17:46Does it hurt?
17:48He was the only one who asked whether I was hurt.
17:51Adrian straightened.
17:52Ice blue light ignited in his eye.
17:54The black wolf king rose behind him.
17:56The frost spread across the marble.
17:58Every lower rank wolf stepped back.
18:01Alpha King Adrian failed.
18:03The wolf king of Northern Crown?
18:04Why is he calling Elena his Luna?
18:07Mason rose among the shattered glass,
18:09blood on his lip.
18:10He looked from Adrian to me.
18:11Panic finally surfaced.
18:13Impossible.
18:15To get back at me.
18:16You went to the Alpha King and asked him to play along?
18:20Enough!
18:21The appointed hour has arrived.
18:24The Luna ceremony will begin now.
18:26By ritual law,
18:27the moon goddess would recognize only one Luna,
18:30Alpha Mason.
18:31Tara Quinn, take your places.
18:33Tara was guided into the center.
18:35She pulled her shoulders back,
18:36lifted her chin,
18:37and forced a victorious smile.
18:38Mason stood beside her,
18:40but the muscles in his jaw tightened with every passing second.
18:43Moon goddess above,
18:45witness the chosen Luna of the pack.
18:48The hall went still.
18:49The dome opened above the ceremony hall.
18:52Full moonlight poured through the roof
18:55and flooded the silver array.
18:57Moonlight descended toward Tara.
18:59She closed her eyes and opened her arms,
19:02already waiting for the blessing.
19:04But the light stopped inches above her head.
19:07Her smile froze.
19:09The beam trembled,
19:10then curved around her.
19:11It crossed the array without touching her skin.
19:14It passed over Mason.
19:15It swept beyond the Black River banner
19:17and moved through the stunned crowd like something alive.
19:20The moonlight found me at the edge of the hall.
19:22Silver light struck my wine-stained gown.
19:24Every moon pattern beneath the wine-stains began to glow.
19:27Tara turned towards me.
19:28The color drained from her face.
19:29And somewhere beneath the floor,
19:31the moonstone rang.
19:33Silver light spread across my gown.
19:35The wine-stains vanished first,
19:37consumed without flame or heat.
19:39Then the scrape on my right arm closed.
19:42The red mark on my left cheek faded beneath the glow.
19:45Every embroidered moon pattern blazed to life.
19:47Behind me,
19:48a vast silver-white wolf spirit rose from the light.
19:51Its fur moved like liquid moonlight.
19:52A crescent mark shone between its silver eyes.
19:55Silver.
19:57She carries the oldest Luna bloodline.
20:00The pressure struck the hall.
20:04Every other werewolf in the room,
20:06except Adrian,
20:08dropped to one knee.
20:13Mason's knees hit the edge of the moon array.
20:15His own wolf spirit appeared behind him,
20:17but instead of answering its alpha,
20:19it turned towards me.
20:20It lowered its head
20:21and released a broken,
20:22submissive wound.
20:24Tara remained standing
20:25only because she was frozen.
20:28No.
20:29I am tonight's Luna!
20:31The moonlight struck her
20:32and threw her across the Arrayan.
20:33The alpha mark at her right waist
20:34ignited in dark red fire.
20:36It was not a blessing.
20:37It was backlash.
20:38Adrian stepped aside me.
20:40The black wolf king rose behind him,
20:42standing beneath the same stood.
20:43I was not the Omega Black River
20:45had discarded.
20:46I was the moon goddess had chosen.
20:49Northern crown completed
20:50its Luna ceremony before dawn.
20:54Adrian did not rush to claim me
20:56with a mark.
20:58I will respect her choices.
21:00I will protect her freedom.
21:02I will never use love
21:04as an excuse to take away her dignity.
21:08A true mate bond was not a chain.
21:11It was the place where you could
21:13stand wounded
21:14and still remain yourself.
21:15When the ceremony ended,
21:18Adrian led me away.
21:19I never looked back.
21:21Mason did not complete
21:22his ceremony with Tara.
21:24Hours later,
21:25he sat alone in the empty hotel lobby,
21:27replaying the same video
21:28again and again.
21:34Mason,
21:35this time she really
21:37doesn't want you anymore.
21:43Past midnight,
21:44stomach pain drove him to his knees
21:48because I was no longer there
21:49to refill them.
21:52I had not been threatening to leave.
21:54I had already gone.
21:56Black River began collapsing
21:58almost immediately.
22:00Three days after the ceremony,
22:02three allied packs
22:02withdrew their support.
22:04A week later,
22:05Border Wolves began crossing
22:07into Black River territory.
22:09By the second full moon,
22:11Crack split the pack totem.
22:14Black fluids seeped
22:16from Mason's succession name
22:17on the moonstone.
22:19His alpha aura
22:20became unstable.
22:22When he tried to shift,
22:24his wolf no longer answered.
22:27Then the hospital called.
22:29Tara's father had deteriorated.
22:31A family member was needed
22:32to approve emergency surgery.
22:34At the hospital,
22:35Tara rushed into Mason's arms.
22:38Mason, you're all I have left.
22:40For the first time,
22:41he did not hold her.
22:42I'm going to speak with the doctor.
22:44Outside the consultation room,
22:46Mason heard two doctors arguing,
22:48Mr. Quinn should have had surgery
22:49two weeks ago.
22:50The venom was serious,
22:51but there was still a chance then.
22:53The family kept delaying the consent.
22:57What did you say?
22:58You didn't know?
22:59We contacted Tara Quinn repeatedly.
23:01The surgical plan was ready,
23:02but she kept telling us to wait.
