Short filmTranscript
00:00The rogues circle the stronghold like death itself.
00:03I watch the last child die.
00:05His intestines torn from his belly while he's still screaming.
00:08The warriors around me collapse.
00:10These are grown wolves.
00:12Battle-hardened males who've ripped throats and survived pack wars.
00:16Now they weep like cubs.
00:19Jakob's claws sink into Kade.
00:21He screams, exposing the Alpha's delusion.
00:24That my warnings were just jealousy.
00:26That Lola's night was worth our slaughter.
00:28His voice snaps like bone.
00:32Why is my baby missing her face?
00:34Kade stands frozen.
00:35His golden Alpha eyes are empty, hollow.
00:38I stare at the carnage and my heart shatters.
00:40I've lived this moment before.
00:42In my previous life, the rogues attacked during Lola's birthday.
00:46My husband, the pack Alpha, took every warrior to the ridge
00:50so his true love could watch the Starfall ceremony.
00:53He said I was paranoid, jealous,
00:55A bitter Luna who couldn't accept that he loved someone else.
00:59I begged them to return.
01:00I screamed through the mind link until my throat bled.
01:04They came back to corpses.
01:06But Lola wandered into the woods, sulking because Kade kept checking the mind link during her special night.
01:12The rogues found her, dragged her screaming into the darkness.
01:16By the time we arrived, nothing remained but her left femur.
01:20Kade held that bone for six hours.
01:22Didn't speak.
01:23Didn't shift.
01:24Didn't breathe.
01:26Then, the day I gave birth to our son, he severed my hands with silver.
01:30My feet next.
01:31He threw me into a rogue feeding pit and healed me.
01:35Over and over.
01:36Letting them tear chunks from my flesh while the mate Bond forced me to feel his hatred burning like acid
01:42through my chest.
01:43You killed her.
01:45So you must be suffering more than she was.
01:48I died on day seven.
01:50I woke on the day when the rogues launched the attack.
01:53The howling hits me first.
01:55Not through the mind link.
01:56That's filtered.
01:57Controlled.
01:58This is raw.
01:59A thousand feral throats shrieking hunger across the mountains.
02:03I'm out of bed before conscious thought.
02:05My bare feet slap stone as I sprint toward the control room.
02:09The stronghold is three stories of timber and reinforced steel built to withstand siege.
02:14I grab the mic.
02:16Hands shaking.
02:17All pack members, this is Luna Selina.
02:20Massive rogue surge from the northern pass.
02:22Get to the panic room.
02:24Now!
02:25I slam the alarm.
02:27Red lights flood the corridors.
02:29Doors bang.
02:30Footsteps thunder.
02:31Outside, someone screams.
02:33I grab the emergency rifle.
02:35Silver bullets.
02:36Blessed by our shaman.
02:38And run.
02:38The courtyard is chaos.
02:40Mothers clutching cubs.
02:42Elders stumbling.
02:43The air reeks of fierce sweat.
02:45And the rot stench of rogues.
02:47Three crash through the east fence.
02:49They used to be wolves.
02:51Now they're things.
02:52Fur matted with dried blood and filth.
02:54Eyes milky white.
02:55Jaws unhinged.
02:57Hanging at grotesque angles.
02:59They don't hunt for territory.
03:00The madness ate everything else.
03:03I fire.
03:04Silver tears through the first one's skull.
03:06It drops.
03:07Convulsively.
03:08I scream at a frozen teenager.
03:09I shove him toward the panic room.
03:12A reinforced bunker built into the ground.
03:16Get inside!
03:17More rogues pour through.
03:19I shoot until the clip runs dry then shift.
03:22Bones crack.
03:24Fur erupts.
03:25My wolf is smaller than the males but faster.
03:28I slam into a rogue mid-leap.
03:30Jaws closing around its rotten throat.
03:33The taste is rancid decay.
03:35I rip and spit and move.
03:36Someone yanks a child from snapping teeth.
03:38Someone else seals the hatch.
03:41The heavy locks clang shut.
03:43Silence.
03:44I shift back.
03:46Naked and trembling.
03:47Blood.
03:48Mine.
03:48Theirs.
03:49Drips down my ribs.
03:50We're in the panic room.
03:51Concrete walls.
03:52Air filtration.
03:53Supplies for two weeks.
03:55But the wards are failing.
03:56I feel it.
03:57The electric hum that usually surrounds the strongholds is stuttering.
04:01Dying.
04:02Luna, you have to mind-link the alpha.
04:05Mary, an Omega whose son is four, grabs my wrist.
04:08Her hands shake.
04:10Tell him to come back.
04:11Tell him to activate the wards.
04:14I close my eyes.
04:15The cruel truth breaks my heart.
04:17Yet I cannot lie.
04:19He can't.
04:20Alpha K took every warrior to Starfall Ridge.
04:23He's protecting Lola during the ceremony.
04:26Ceremony, are you serious?
04:27The room erupts.
04:28He left us just to die for some lights!
04:31She's not even his real mate!
04:33Bang.
04:34The steel door buckles.
04:35Metal shrieks.
04:36Bang.
04:37Another hit.
04:38These rogues are stronger.
04:40Evolved.
04:41We have minutes.
04:43I look at Elder Martha.
04:44Cade's mother.
04:45Former Luna.
04:4673 with silver hair and a wolf that can still kill.
04:49She meets my eyes.
04:51The silver wards.
04:51If we activate the backup grid, it'll fry everything within a hundred yards.
04:55Hope flickers across faces.
04:57Martha pulls out the Alpha Emergency Com, satellite link that bypasses Mind Link.
05:02She dials.
05:03The line clicks.
05:04Cade's voice is annoyed.
05:06Distracted.
05:07In the background, music.
05:08Laughter.
05:09Mom?
05:10Kinda busy.
05:11Martha's jaw clenches.
05:13Cade!
05:14The stronghold is under siege!
05:16Rogue Surge!
05:17We're in the panic room.
05:19Wards are failing.
05:20Activate the silver grid.
05:22Now!
05:23Everyone holds their breath.
05:25Cade laughs.
05:26Mom, seriously?
05:27The grid pulls power from the...
05:29We're 30 minutes from peak display.
05:31I can't shut it down.
05:32His tone shifts.
05:33Suspicious.
05:35Is Selina there?
05:36Did she put you up to this?
05:38Martha's hand shakes.
05:40Your Luna just saved 20.
05:43My Luna is jealous.
05:45She's been pulling this for months.
05:46Lola's dangerous.
05:48Rogues are coming.
05:49It's pathetic.
05:51He scoffs.
05:52Tell Selina if she keeps trying to ruin Lola's night, there'll be consequences.
05:56I'm not falling for fake emergency bullshit.
05:59The line goes down.
06:00Mary's face drains white.
06:03He thinks we're lying.
06:05Samuel, former beta, slumps against the wall.
06:08We're going to die.
06:10For a light show.
06:11Service tunnel.
06:13Runs from here to the old mining roads.
06:15Then she looks at me.
06:16Her eyes burn.
06:18Six miles through rogue territory to Silver Plane Base.
06:22They have warriors.
06:23You and I go.
06:25We shift and run.
06:27The door slits.
06:28A rotting claw shoves through.
06:30Claws scrape metal.
06:32A pup was frightened and he started crying.
06:35Martha doesn't flinch.
06:36We leave in 60 seconds.
06:38Barricade after we're gone.
06:39She doesn't finish the sentence.
06:41She doesn't have to.
06:42I nod.
06:43Because if we don't make it, everyone here dies.
06:46Hope flickers in my chest as Martha speaks.
06:49Wait for me.
06:50She says, slipping through the side door.
06:52One hour later, the panic room door tears open.
06:55A rotting arm reaches through, grabbing for the baby in Mary's arms.
06:59The infant's cry cuts off mid-screen.
07:01The mother collapses.
07:03Her eyes go empty.
07:04Despair floods the room.
07:06Then a figure rushes through the side entrance.
07:08Martha.
07:09Did you bring the warriors back?
07:11She is covered in blood.
07:12Barricade that gap!
07:14I rush to steady her.
07:16Martha's voice shakes.
07:17That bastard.
07:19She is trembling with rage.
07:20Cade set up blockades on every path.
07:22Every single one.
07:24All to make sure no one could interrupt Lola's precious birthday fireworks.
07:29Her eyes are bloodshot.
07:30The room goes silent.
07:32Cold dread creeps up my spine.
07:33I stumble backward.
07:35He blocked even his own mother.
07:37I forced myself upright.
07:39We can't just sit here and die.
07:41Desperate to grasp at one last lifeline,
07:43I frantically adjusted the frequency,
07:45broadcasting our slaughter to every nearby pack channel.
07:49Begging, pleading for aid.
07:51Yet, the response left me frozen.
07:53They coldly informed me that,
07:55an hour earlier,
07:56Alpha Cade had personally warned them
07:58that someone in our pack would file false distress calls,
08:01ordering them to ignore all requests tonight.
08:04The indifference was suffocating.
08:06They even explicitly stated that Cade had targeted Martha,
08:09insisting they would not respond
08:11unless Elder Martha herself appeared in person to request aid.
08:14Go in person,
08:16through miles of territory infested with rogues.
08:18It was pure suicide.
08:20The gap in the door was buckling under the pressure.
08:22The shadow of death hanging over us all.
08:25I took a deep breath,
08:26steadied Martha,
08:27and said with iron resolve,
08:28Mom, I'm coming with you.
08:30My voice cold as ice.
08:31Everyone's counting on us.
08:33If we break through,
08:34there's still a chance.
08:37Martha looked at me for a long moment.
08:40Finally, she nodded slowly.
08:42Two hours later,
08:44I half-carry Martha through the darkness.
08:46Her left arm was torn off by a rogue fresh blood
08:48still streams from the wound.
08:50Over this mountain, we're almost there.
08:53From halfway up the slope,
08:55we see the outline of Silver Pine Base.
08:57Hope sparks in our chests.
08:59Then,
08:59a firework shell explodes directly in front of us.
09:02The blast wave throws us backward like ragdolls.
09:05Martha's blood was splattered on my face.
09:07I look up,
09:08dazed.
09:09Through the smoke,
09:10I see Cade with his arm around Lola.
09:12Then his voice booms through the ridge's speaker system,
09:15dripping with mockery.
09:16Selena,
09:17I knew it.
09:18You realized your lies wouldn't make me cancel the party,
09:21so now you're trying to force your way through?
09:22His voice turns ice cold.
09:24I knew you'd try to sabotage Lola's birthday.
09:27I won't let you succeed.
09:28The bombardment intensifies.
09:31Mom, tell him it's you!
09:35Connie!
09:36The ridge falls silent for a heartbeat.
09:39Then Cade's laughter echoes,
09:40crueler, louder.
09:41Selena, you're really committed to this act.
09:43First you had my mom lie over the comm,
09:46now you hired an actress?
09:47My mother has two arms,
09:49but the actress has only one.
09:51Stop trying to fool me.
09:52I am your mother!
09:54Can't you even recognize my voice?
09:57Cade hesitates.
10:01Lola immediately tugs his sleeve,
10:03her voice dripping false hurt.
10:04Cade,
10:05I know Saloma hates me.
10:07Maybe we should just cancel tonight.
10:09Go back.
10:10It's okay.
10:11I'm used to being treated like this.
10:14Cade's face hardens.
10:15He pulls her close.
10:17Continue.
10:19More shells rain down.
10:21Our path is sealed.
10:25The moon rises higher.
10:29Martha grabs my shoulders.
10:32There's no time.
10:33I'll distract them.
10:34You run.
10:35Get that rescue back here.
10:36Everyone's counting on you!
10:38She shoves me away
10:40and limps toward the peak.
10:42I try to grab her.
10:44Mom!
10:45They don't recognize you!
10:46You'll die!
10:48Cade's voice cuts through the air again.
10:51Selene!
11:20If you're willing to throw your life away
11:21be...
11:22Blood pours like a river.
11:24My hands shake as I touch her.
11:25Warmth.
11:26Sticky warmth everywhere.
11:27I shake her gently.
11:28No response.
11:29I scream.
11:33Lola's saccharine voice
11:34floats through the speakers.
11:37Selene.
11:38You should throw that corpse
11:39off the cliff.
11:41The rogues will smell the blood
11:43and come for you too.
11:46Several warriors witness this.
11:48Unease flickers across their faces.
11:51That...
11:51didn't look fake.
11:53What if the stronghold
11:55really is under attack?
11:56What if she's telling the truth?
11:57The alpha would know
11:58if something was wrong.
11:59She's obviously staging this
12:01because she's jealous of Lola.
12:02Her jealousy is terrifying.
12:03But what if...
12:04What if something did happen?
12:06Our families are all down there.
12:08All down there!
12:09Shut up!
12:10Alpha Cade
12:10would never gamble
12:11with our family's lives.
12:13The squad leader
12:14barks at them to shut up.
12:17Then several warriors
12:19dragged me like a traitor
12:20to the ridge
12:20under Cade's orders.
12:22Not one part of my body
12:23is unbroken.
12:24Blood and mud
12:25mixed together.
12:29Lola approaches
12:30with a pitiful expression.
12:32Selene.
12:33You're bleeding so much.
12:36Let me barnet you, okay?
12:38She reaches for me.
12:40Don't touch me!
12:42I slap her hand away
12:44hard enough
12:44to make her stumble.
12:46Selene!
12:47Lola's trying to help you
12:48despite everything
12:49and this is how you
12:50treat her kindness?
12:51He stomps
12:52on my broken finger.
12:54Looks like you need
12:55a lesson.
12:55You never learn.
12:57Agony rips through me.
12:58I convulse on the ground.
12:59But I don't care
13:00about myself.
13:02The people in the panic room
13:03are still waiting
13:04for me to save them.
13:05I lock eyes with Cade.
13:07The panic room
13:08is about to fall.
13:09Every minute you waste,
13:11another person dies.
13:13Can't you hear
13:13the rocks down there?
13:15Lola immediately
13:16bursts into tears.
13:17Cade, it's all my fault.
13:19I shouldn't have
13:20had a birthday.
13:20I shouldn't even exist.
13:22Cade pulls her
13:23into his arms protectively.
13:26Selene, how long
13:27are you going
13:27to keep this up?
13:29The stronghold
13:30has the most
13:31advanced defense system.
13:33Every elite warrior
13:34is here guarding
13:35you and Lola.
13:37The Silverwoods
13:38have no power
13:39because you diverted
13:41it to the mountain.
13:43Cade, you're going
13:44to regret this.
13:46Alpha Cade,
13:47should we send
13:47someone to check?
13:48You don't know her.
13:49making up lies.
13:50She's always been
13:51jealous of Lola.
13:52This isn't the first time.
13:54Right, last time
13:55she claimed Lola
13:55pushed her down the stairs.
13:59Tie her to that tree.
14:02Let her reflect.
14:06Lola smirks.
14:08I struggle with everything
14:09I have.
14:11Cade!
14:12If you don't bring
14:13warriors back now,
14:15everyone's
14:16families
14:17will be slaughtered,
14:19torn apart,
14:20and eaten.
14:22My warning earns
14:22me a vicious slap.
14:25Selene, I'm telling you,
14:26the more you try
14:27to force me
14:28to love you,
14:30the more I hate you.
14:33Just as they
14:34drag me toward the tree,
14:36suddenly a piercing
14:37alarm shrieks
14:38from the valley below.
14:39The stronghold's
14:40highest level
14:41emergency signal,
14:42meaning the panic room
14:43has fallen.
14:44No survivors.
14:45Everyone freezes.
14:47The older warrior
14:48who'd been mocking me
14:49stumbles to the cliff edge,
14:50staring down.
14:56Maximum alert!
14:57That's maximum alert!
14:59My wife and son
15:01are down there!
15:03The young warrior's
15:04face drains of color.
15:05His lips tremble
15:07in the silence.
15:08I use my last shred
15:09of strength
15:09to look at Cade.
15:13Do you hear it, Cade?
15:15They're all dead.
15:16This is the firework show
15:18you brought
15:18with everyone's lives.
15:19Are you satisfied?
15:22Even your mother,
15:23the one you respected most,
15:25you killed her too.
15:26Inside the stronghold,
15:28the security door
15:28hangs twisted and broken.
15:30Blood pools like water,
15:31dismembered limbs,
15:32shredded clothing,
15:34scattered organs,
15:35all mixed together.
15:36Rogues feast greedily
15:37on the corpses,
15:38making sickening
15:39chewing sounds.
15:40Ugh.
15:40I can't hold it in.
15:42I bend over and retch.
15:43Tears stream uncontrollably.
15:45We were still too late.
15:47I gave everything
15:48and still couldn't save them.
15:49Well, that's...
15:50Go inside.
15:52Kira!
15:53Kira!
15:54Mom!
15:55Mom, where are you?
16:02Nearby,
16:03the young warrior
16:04finds his mother.
16:09Alpha Cade!
16:11Look!
16:12Look at my mother!
16:14Her eyes are still open!
16:37I wanted more than anyone
16:38to change it.
16:39But why?
16:39Why couldn't I save them?
16:40Where's my mother?
16:43Selene?
16:44Where is she?
16:47You have the nerve
16:48to ask about Mom?
16:51Mom's dead.
16:52You killed her yourself
16:54with that rocket launcher.
16:57Kade!
16:59Mom's corpse
17:00is at the bottom
17:01of that cliff
17:01feeding vultures.
17:02It was you!
17:03You killed her!
17:09No!
17:10Impossible!
17:12I couldn't have killed
17:13my own mother!
17:18Why?
17:19This is so strange.
17:21Why didn't the rogues
17:22attack any other time?
17:24Why specifically
17:25on my birthday?
17:26And why when the stronghold
17:27had zero warriors
17:28and was at its weakest?
17:35I know I shouldn't
17:36say this now
17:37but it's just too strange!
17:39Everyone think about it.
17:41Selene patrols
17:42the outer perimeter
17:42alone all the time
17:43claiming she's tracking
17:44rogue movements.
17:46The broadcast center's
17:47alarm system?
17:49She's in charge
17:49of that too.
17:53She knows so much
17:54about rogue activity.
17:56So why today?
17:58My birthday specifically?
17:59Unless someone
18:00deliberately led them
18:02into the stronghold?
18:04Selene, it's because
18:05years ago Kade
18:06chose to save me
18:07instead of your father.
18:08You're jealous.
18:09You hate me.
18:10So you pick my birthday
18:12specifically to frame
18:13Kade and me.
18:14You intentionally
18:15let the rogues in.
18:16You're lying!
18:18Enough!
18:19Selene!
18:22I never imagined
18:23you could be so vicious.
18:27Yes!
18:28I chose Lola
18:29because she was closer.
18:30It was an impossible choice.
18:32I tried to save
18:34your father afterward
18:35but I was too late!
18:37That's haunted me
18:38ever since.
18:39I felt I owed you
18:40so I've spent years
18:41trying to make it up to you
18:42but I never expected
18:44you'd harbor
18:44this much hatred.
18:45To get revenge
18:46you picked this moment.
18:48Used hundreds of lives
18:49to frame Lola and me.
18:50What kind of monster
18:52are you?
18:53I stand there
18:54reeling from their words.
18:56I don't know
18:56where to begin.
18:57He surveys
18:58the stunned warriors
18:59voice filled
19:00with righteous pain.
19:03I Kade
19:04failed to see
19:05what kind of evil woman
19:06I married.
19:07Today
19:07I'll do what's right.
19:10Get justice
19:11for everyone
19:11who died.
19:13Alpha!
19:15Seize her!
19:16Hearing this
19:17I thought my heart
19:18was already dead
19:19to him
19:20but it still aches
19:21for how little
19:22I am worth
19:22a murderer.
19:31Why did you do this?
19:33If not for you
19:34mom wouldn't be dead!
19:35I can't help
19:36but laugh quietly.
19:37I laugh at my past self
19:39for being so blind.
19:40For falling in love
19:41with such a weak
19:42cowardly man.
19:43My laughter
19:44only enrages
19:44Kade more.
19:45He grabs
19:46my injured hand
19:47squeezing the
19:48severed finger stump.
19:49Blood gushes
19:50instantly.
19:51Searing pain
19:52drains the color
19:52from my face.
19:54Cold sweat pours.
19:55Killing you
19:56would be too easy.
19:57You like luring
19:58rogues to hurt people?
19:59Fine.
20:00I'll let you
20:01experience being
20:01eaten by rogues
20:02piece by piece!
20:04Drag her to
20:05the outer quarantine zone.
20:06Tie her to the post.
20:08Without my command
20:09no one gives her
20:10a quick death.
20:12Under Lola's
20:13manipulation.
20:14Not a single
20:14voice objects
20:15to this cruelty.
20:16I'm
20:17more terrifying
20:17than before.
20:19The rogues
20:19we drove back
20:20are returning.
20:21Their speed
20:22is horrifying.
20:23How do they
20:24have strength
20:25to attack
20:25again?
20:26They've
20:27evolved!
20:28These beasts
20:29devoured too many
20:30lives!
20:30Their power
20:31multiplied!
20:32Everyone!
20:33Defensive positions!
20:34Warriors raise
20:35weapons against
20:36the surging
20:36rogue wave.
20:37One breaks
20:38through the
20:38defensive line.
20:39Howling as it
20:40lunges for Lola,
20:41she shoves Kade
20:42directly into
20:43the rogue's path.
20:44The rogue's jaws
20:45clamp onto his
20:46entire left arm.
20:47Blood sprays.
20:48He collapses,
20:49screaming,
20:50but still stares
20:51at Lola.
20:52Help!
20:52Save me!
20:54Pull me off!
20:55Kade,
20:56you said you'd
20:57always protect me.
20:58Remember?
20:59You abandoned
21:00Kaleen's father
21:01to save me.
21:02You'll save me
21:03this time too,
21:04right?
21:04Lola!
21:08You're the alpha.
21:10Protecting everyone
21:11is your responsibility.
21:12Now you're
21:12injured and bleeding.
21:13Perfect to
21:14distract the robes.
21:15Give everyone
21:15time to escape.
21:18So you should
21:19stay here.
21:21You.
21:22In the chaos,
21:23someone pulls me
21:24behind a hidden
21:25boulder.
21:26I look up.
21:27It is the young
21:28warrior who
21:28questioned Kade
21:29earlier.
21:30Luna, Serena,
21:30hide.
21:31Create the
21:32silver wards!
21:33That's our last
21:34hope!
21:35Hope flickers
21:36in his eyes.
21:37Yes.
21:38The wards.
21:40They rush
21:40to the control
21:41room, only to
21:42discover crushing
21:43truth.
21:43Report!
21:44The ward power
21:45has been completely
21:46diverted to the
21:47Ridge firework
21:48equipment!
21:49There's nothing
21:49left!
21:50What?
21:52This is what
21:53we deserve!
21:54We throw away
21:56our lives for
21:57one woman's
21:57birthday!
21:58Hidden behind
21:59the raw, I
22:00watch, my
22:00heart tears.
22:01In the face of
22:02disaster, humans
22:03are so small,
22:04so pitiful.
22:05But even so, we
22:06can never surrender
22:07to fate.
22:07As a rogue
22:08lunges for the
22:09young warrior, I
22:09charge out without
22:10hesitation, using my
22:12broken body to shield
22:13him from the
22:13killing blow.
22:14Less talk, move!
22:16Then helicopter
22:16blades thunder
22:17overhead.
22:19Three helicopters
22:20marked HQ special
22:21forces hover above.
22:23Command rescue all
22:24survivors.
22:25Move to
22:25extraction points.
22:38He pulls out
22:39photos and throws
22:40them at her feet.
22:41Lola, traitor to
22:43your own pack.
22:44What do you have
22:44to say?
22:46What makes you think
22:47you deserve rescue?
22:55that's right!
22:56It was me!
22:57All of it!
22:59Selene, why were you
23:01always the brightest
23:01one?
23:02Why did everyone
23:03always notice you?
23:04Even the man I love
23:05became your mate!
23:07I wanted to destroy
23:08you!
23:09Destroy everything!
23:11So I sabotaged
23:12the defenses!
23:13I let the rogues in!
23:16You, because of
23:18jealousy, you killed
23:20everyone!
23:21All pack members of
23:22the ethnic group
23:22were innocent!
23:23They did nothing
23:24wrong!
23:26Kay, do you think
23:27you're innocent?
23:28If you'd come back,
23:30would they have died?
23:31Especially your
23:32inconvenient mother.
23:34If you hadn't
23:35ordered the attack,
23:36would she be dead?
23:37You killed her
23:38with your own hands.
23:42Stop!
23:43I didn't!
23:46Your mother
23:47called your name
23:47as she died.
23:48But you?
23:49You didn't recognize
23:50her.
23:51Then you ordered
23:52her body thrown
23:52off a cliff
23:53to feed vultures!
23:55At that moment,
23:55howling erupts
23:56behind Lola.
23:58Help me!
24:00Help me!
24:01Save her?
24:02Who's going to save
24:04the people you murdered?
24:05They watch coldly
24:07as rogues swarm her,
24:08tearing her body
24:09apart.
24:11The older warrior
24:12who mocked me earlier
24:13suddenly drops to his
24:15knees with a heavy
24:16thud.
24:16Luna Selma,
24:17we were wrong!
24:18His voice is hoarse,
24:20choked with regret.
24:21We'd believed you!
24:22If we hadn't followed
24:24Kayda's madness,
24:25our families would be
24:26alive!
24:27Other warriors
24:28kneel.
24:28Sobs fill the air.
24:29We're sorry.
24:31It's our fault!
24:32We believe that
24:34bitch's lies!
24:35You were so injured
24:36but still saved us.
24:37We're beyond redemption.
24:39As I am about to speak,
24:40Kayde staggers
24:41to his feet.
24:43Where is my mother?
24:45Where is Martha?
24:46Forgot already.
24:48You personally
24:49ordered her body
24:50thrown off the cliff
24:51to feed vultures.
24:53No.
24:54Impossible.
24:56Mom's alive.
24:57Martha!
24:59Where are you?
25:02He stumbles
25:02toward the perimeter.
25:04Then,
25:04rogues from the outer zone
25:05catch his scent.
25:06Kayde reaches
25:07toward empty air,
25:08oblivious to approaching death.
25:09A deranged smile
25:10crosses his face.
25:11Mom,
25:12I see you.
25:13Rogues tear at his limbs.
25:15Blood soaks his clothes.
25:17I shouldn't have trusted Lola,
25:18ignored Selen,
25:20doubted you,
25:21everyone.
25:21I killed them all.
25:23I killed every member
25:24stay in the territory.
25:25The once-mighty Alpha
25:27ends his life like this.
25:28Luna, Selenma.
25:30We should go.
25:31I nod,
25:32looking toward the cliff.
25:33Martha's body
25:34still lies there.
25:36Take the wounded first.
25:38I have one more thing to do.
25:42Her aged face
25:43still holds her final worry.
25:45I gently wipe blood
25:46from her face.
25:48Mom,
25:50we're going home.
25:52Mom,
25:53we're going home.
25:56One month later,
25:57reconstruction begins
25:58showing progress.
26:00On a bright morning,
26:01we hold a grand funeral
26:02for all who died.
26:03I carve a headstone myself.
26:05We choose the highest hill,
26:06overlooking the entire stronghold.
26:08Elder Martha,
26:09beloved mother,
26:10rests here forever,
26:11guarding this land.
