Short filmTranscript
00:00Two years as Luna of Silverweight Pack.
00:03Tonight my husband sent me a New Year's gift,
00:06a photo of him in another woman's bed.
00:10Every one of them wants me to shift into a she-wolf
00:12and tear this ballroom apart,
00:14that's the Luna they remember.
00:16Bury it.
00:18Last time Matthew got caught I torched his yacht
00:20before the party ended, they still talk about it.
00:23Tonight I just need to get Ellie upstairs safely,
00:26the rest can wait until midnight is over.
00:28Her breath is warm.
00:31Mine stopped two minutes ago.
00:34She smells like milk and innocence.
00:37The estate downstairs smells like betrayal.
00:43Alice has been like a real mother to me.
00:47Tonight I need her as something more.
00:51Isla, I'm so sorry.
00:53I'll call that bastard right now.
00:55Mom, I'm busy. Pack business.
00:58I'll come back tomorrow to smooth things over.
01:01Tell Isla she handled it well today.
01:03Real Luna now.
01:05Docile.
01:05Tell her to keep it up.
01:07That bastard.
01:08He forgets who holds this family together.
01:10Mom,
01:12I'm not here for justice tonight.
01:13Five years ago you gave half your liver to save my mother.
01:16I've never forgotten.
01:17You asked me to marry him,
01:18to tame him.
01:19I tried everything for two years.
01:21The mate bond isn't enough to change a man with no honor.
01:23I want a divorce.
01:25And full custody of Ellie.
01:27All right.
01:28I'll help you.
01:29Let me handle the elders.
01:30Back then it was Matthew who saw you first.
01:32He begged me to make you his mate.
01:34He did love me once.
01:35Nailed and begged the moon goddess when Ellie was born.
01:37But honor isn't a feeling.
01:39It's a choice he stopped making.
01:41Get me Elder Margaret.
01:42It's a matriarch summons.
01:45Tonight.
01:46Alice was the Luna before me.
01:49She's willing to break the pack herself.
01:58My wolf hasn't howled in two years.
02:01Tonight she just watched the snow fall.
02:04Silent.
02:05Waiting.
02:08Waiting.
02:16Two years of silence.
02:18Tonight my wolf will choose who hears me next.
02:23Lucas.
02:24It's me.
02:25I need your help.
02:26Start the divorce paperwork tonight.
02:29Isla.
02:29I've been waiting.
02:31The documents are ready.
02:32They've always been ready.
02:37Two years I believe the bond would save him.
02:41Tonight I found out someone else was ready to save me first.
02:50Every time he cheats, the number in my account grows.
02:56Tonight he reopened the club I shut down last month.
02:59And he wants me to bring him protection.
03:01For her.
03:03Two years ago a message like this would have made my wolf tear her own throat open.
03:07Tonight I don't even have the strength to be angry.
03:09A year ago I would have smashed this phone and burned that club to the ground.
03:12Tonight I just want him to know I'm too tired to even be angry.
03:15My wolf is curled up somewhere deep inside me.
03:17She's been sleeping for a long time.
03:24Mommy, will daddy like it?
03:26Of course he will, sweetheart.
03:29I love this picture.
03:31But I know it's already a lie.
03:33The scent hit me first.
03:35Musk, rain, and the sweet perfume of another woman.
03:38Daddy!
03:39Daddy!
03:40Missed me already, pup?
03:41It's only been one night.
03:43No matter what we've become, he is still a good father.
03:46That's the cruelest part.
03:53Inside this folder, medical releases, school forms, and one document he will never bother to read.
03:59I was bracing for you to storm that club last night, but just a delivery guy, with condoms.
04:04Isla, that's new.
04:05Isn't this what you wanted?
04:07A Luna who stays quiet and lets her alpha play.
04:09Hey, relax.
04:11You're still the one with the mark.
04:12They're just distractions.
04:14Two years ago, he swore to the moon goddess that I would be the only one carrying his scent.
04:18Now his distractions keep appearing.
04:20One after another, diluting the sanctity of a bond he begged me to accept.
04:24He forgot that vow.
04:25Well, I haven't.
04:29Sign these.
04:30Ellie's advanced schooling, medical releases.
04:32These little administrative things.
04:34You can handle them.
04:37He didn't even glance at the title.
04:40Done.
04:41He thought I would never leave him.
04:44He was wrong.
04:46And then I saw her.
04:48Please, I don't have insurance.
04:50No ID, no pack number.
04:51Move aside.
04:55Not going to help your old friend?
05:02He didn't even say goodbye to Ellie.
05:04I didn't care what he was doing anymore.
05:06And then the pack's social fleet pushed the headline.
05:16Mommy, can we get ice cream?
05:19Yes, baby.
05:20Let's go.
05:21In the warm afternoon light, everything looked like a post like a postcard.
05:27But everything was already broken.
05:31Ellie?
05:33Mommy?
05:35Ellie?
05:37If Mommy and Daddy don't live in the same den anymore,
05:44would you want to stay with me?
05:49This was the first time I ever asked for her answer.
05:56I would.
05:57Where Mommy is, is where the pack is.
06:00Daddy's busy a lot.
06:02He smells like other people.
06:04But I have Mommy.
06:05A child's world is simple.
06:06And that simplicity just sliced through every lie I had been living.
06:14Good girl.
06:15Let's not tell Daddy about this, okay?
06:17It's our secret.
06:19Okay.
06:20She deserves a mother who doesn't flinch.
06:22Starting today, that's who I have to be.
06:25Luna, I mean ma'am.
06:26Alpha Robinson asked for the keys to Misswood Manor.
06:29He's giving them to Sienna Ford.
06:30He said she needs a safe place to recover.
06:33Misswood, my river, Manta, my river estate before the mating, part of my dowry.
06:36He picked the one place that would cut the deepest.
06:38Got it.
06:41Territory use tax.
06:43If he's going to park his stray in my house, he can pay tribute.
06:47Not a word of reply.
06:49Just the money.
06:50He thinks Silver can silence a Luna's tongue.
06:53He has no idea.
06:55I'm not the Luna anymore.
06:56I'm something older.
06:58Something harder.
07:05This is Ellie's third birthday.
07:07Not Sienna's stage.
07:09Ellie, sweetheart.
07:10This is from me.
07:12Let me put it on, okay?
07:14No.
07:18Looks like Ellie doesn't like me much.
07:20I just wanted to make her happy.
07:29I'm not the only one.
07:32Keep your disgusting affairs away from us.
07:36And away from my daughter.
07:38Alpha, I just wanted to bring Ellie a birthday gift.
07:41As you asked.
07:42As you asked.
07:43Three words.
07:44He told her to come.
07:45He sent her to my daughter's birthday.
07:47Did you hurt yourself?
07:48I thought you'd learned some decorum by now.
07:51Looks like I was wrong.
07:52He asked me where my dignity is.
07:55He doesn't know.
07:56Dignity was the last thing I put down for him.
08:02Bloodline Trust.
08:03Matthew's father set it up the day Ellie was born.
08:05Sealed by PAC law.
08:06Never meant to be touched.
08:08A massive sum.
08:09Gone.
08:10The signature was his.
08:12No answer.
08:13That was my first answer.
08:15I'm driving to his office.
08:16Now.
08:17I am the Luna of Silver Lake PAC.
08:19I had every right to be here.
08:21Luna.
08:21The Alpha is busy.
08:23Please let me announce you.
08:24Busy.
08:25The word his staff used for what was happening behind that door.
08:28I knew.
08:30I had always known.
08:32She didn't look away.
08:34She wanted me to see her on my husband's throne.
08:38Oh.
08:39Alpha.
08:39She scared me.
08:41Two faces.
08:43Switched in one breath.
08:44She was very good at this.
08:46Why are you here, Ilissa?
08:48Is the house on fire?
08:50The Bloodline Trust is drained.
08:52Did you take it?
08:53I didn't need him to confess.
08:55I already knew the signature.
09:01Alpha.
09:02I'm so sorry.
09:03Without my contract breach fee, you wouldn't have had to touch Ellie's fund.
09:06Don't overreact.
09:07It's compensation for her.
09:08Call it avoiding a challenge from her kin.
09:10Compensation.
09:11With our Dautlisa's safety net shattered.
09:13The other belief that Siren Studio was still mine was about to die too.
09:17Alpha.
09:17The council meeting is starting in five.
09:19Come on.
09:20Stop growling.
09:21I've ordered a spirit gem necklace for you.
09:24It'll be delivered tomorrow.
09:25He didn't notice.
09:26I hadn't been growling.
09:28I hadn't made a sound since I opened the door.
09:31Luna.
09:31The Alpha's gift just arrived from the jeweler.
09:36Storage vault.
09:37Thank you, Mother.
09:38A spirit gem necklace.
09:39A bribe dressed as an apology.
09:41I didn't need it.
09:42I didn't want it.
09:43I wouldn't touch it.
09:44Not this time.
09:45Repeat.
09:46That word hit me like a physical blow.
09:49There had been lunas in this pack before me.
09:51Betrayed.
09:52Silenced.
09:53Replaced.
09:54I was not the first.
09:55But I had a choice they hadn't.
09:57I had Siren Studio.
09:59I had my own ground.
10:01My studio.
10:02My technology.
10:03Three years of partnership with the Velasco Vampire Clan.
10:06Please welcome our special speaker, Miss Sienna Ford.
10:10And Matthew gave my stage to her.
10:13Matthew, what gives you the right to replace my guest speaker?
10:16Sienna is trending.
10:17Her buzz is better than yours.
10:19We're a pack, remember?
10:20Your resources are mine.
10:21Her earnings offset the fund.
10:23My resources are his?
10:24That was his whole world wove.
10:26That was the sentence that ended 20 years of belief.
10:28Hi, everyone.
10:29The technology is really complicated.
10:32The frequency is kind of like the howling algorithm.
10:43My ears.
10:44Is she trying to doff us?
10:45Incompetent Omega.
10:47Get her off my frequency range.
10:49She was just nervous.
10:50We'll have her better prepared next time.
10:51He called it vampires, called it incompetence.
10:53I called it the last proof I needed.
10:57Three years.
10:59Three pack partnerships.
11:01Gone in 60 seconds because my husband thought his mistress could stand on my stage.
11:06The damage was done.
11:08And something in me finished.
11:10I'll send the new contracts tomorrow.
11:12Let's get dinner, Eilis.
11:13For two years, I had raged.
11:15I had clawed.
11:16I had howled.
11:17Not anymore.
11:19He didn't notice.
11:20He never did.
11:22Tomorrow, I stop fighting his way and start playing mine.
11:28Small accident.
11:30I'll double your loss from the Terry treasury.
11:33He didn't even read past the second line.
11:37All I have to do is wine, and he'll hand me your studio on a silver platter.
11:41Why cling to the title of Luna, when everyone knows you've lost his favor?
11:46Two years of screaming, and for what?
11:49Yeah.
11:50I did go feral.
11:51But tell me, Omega.
11:53Who gave you the courage to bare your teeth at a Luna?
12:04Isola!
12:12Are you okay?
12:13You used to smash cars, now you're attacking my people?
12:17You've become vicious.
12:18And you?
12:19Stealing from your pup's inheritance?
12:22Ruining my event?
12:23What does that make you, Matthew?
12:25Let's see how far you can push me.
12:27I counted the cost.
12:28The contracts.
12:30The bruises.
12:31The years.
12:32Tonight the ledger closes.
12:35Isla, the paperwork is almost done.
12:37Five days.
12:38Tops.
12:39You and Ellie won't be left without territory.
12:41One more thing.
12:42The old Alpha's memorial.
12:44Would you stand as Luna one last time?
12:45For him?
12:46Okay, Mom.
12:47I'll be there.
12:48The old Alpha was the only Robinson who called me daughter.
12:52I owed him one last goodbye.
12:54Ozone and rain.
12:56He's here.
12:57And he's not alone.
13:00Strangers from enemy packs.
13:02That's what we'd become.
13:06Matthew.
13:07Today is your father's funeral.
13:10Why bring her here?
13:12Isla is still your Luna.
13:14I know I shouldn't be here.
13:17I'm not worthy.
13:20But I'm pregnant.
13:22He's a Robinson.
13:26Since she's carrying a Robinson pup, it's natural she should pay respects.
13:29For two years, he swore Ellie was his only heir.
13:33Until now.
13:35Auntie.
13:36Let's not disturb the old Alpha's rest.
13:39Alice, I'm not feeling well.
13:40I'm going to take Ellie home.
13:50Mom, are we going home?
13:53Yes, baby.
13:55We're going home.
13:56He thinks home is still his.
13:58He thinks four more days means nothing.
14:01Four days.
14:02And this house he calls mine will no longer be my home.
14:09Three more days until the severance ceremony.
14:12I'm done caring what he leaves to whom.
14:14I'm taking my daughter and walking out of this pack tonight.
14:18Luna!
14:19Luna!
14:20Something's wrong!
14:21Ellie is missing!
14:22That cold running through me, it's not fear.
14:25It's the instinct of a mother catching a predator's scent.
14:29Isla Reed, you're in my way.
14:32Your pup is in my way too.
14:33The pack doesn't need two heirs.
14:36You both deserve to die.
14:38Sienna.
14:39So she finally crossed that line.
14:43Saving my daughter is instinct.
14:46Destroying Sienna, that's just something I'll do on the way.
14:51Sarah.
14:51Listen to me once.
14:53Sienna Ford.
14:53The Rogue Fight Club photos.
14:55Her forged lineage papers.
14:56The recordings of her trading pack secrets for favors.
14:58Luna, you...
14:59Release it all.
15:00Pack Network Public Media.
15:02Buy out every headline.
15:0324 hours.
15:04Make her a Perea.
15:05Yes, Luna.
15:14Ellie!
15:16Cold like a physical blow.
15:19No.

15:25No.
15:25No.
15:26No.

17:44the rage the heartbreak the chaos they all drained away what was left was clarity was clarity he didn't ask

20:02alpha Robinson sorry to disturb speak
20:04Miss Reed authorized the liquidation of Miss Wood Manor today the new owners and neutral merchant clan are coming for
20:09territory inspection
20:10who gave her permission to sell pack adjacent land
20:12alpha the deed is solely under Illa Reed's name is her birthright she doesn't need council approval
20:16Miss Wood Manor wasn't just a house
20:17it was my dowry
20:18he moved her into it to humiliate me
20:20I kept it in my name because a wolf never sells her birthright and now I'm selling it
20:25he still thinks if he yells loud enough I'll turn around he still doesn't know
20:28I'm no longer within range of his voice and Alpha's wolf eyes glow for three reasons
20:32rage lust or Matthew what is it your eyes are glowing sensing his fated mate drifting out of reach
20:38he doesn't know which one it is or maybe he knows and refuses to let himself
20:42it's nothing I have a rogue element to deal with
20:47Sarah where is she
20:48Alpha the Luna took the pup and left the estate three days ago she said she had matters to attend

20:59a wolf bond runs on blood on vows on scent scent doesn't lie
21:03I made sure every trace would fade Ellie's clothes my silk robe the coat I kept by the door
21:08I knew he would feel it before he saw it but as long as his pride is intact
21:11he won't admit what his wolf already knows
21:13get the hospital to discharge Sienna today
21:16clear my evening calendar we're attending the pack charity gala tonight
21:19Alpha are you sure you want to make Miss Ford the official face of the charity
21:23the public if my Luna wants to hide give her something to watch
21:26make the announcement tonight
21:29every flashbulb is just him counting the seats I left empty

22:16he'll see it on his desk tomorrow morning

22:27if she'd come like before she'd have driven her car straight through those doors
22:31instead nothing
22:32three years of marriage and tonight my Luna didn't even bother to scream
22:36no scent of ozone
22:38no rage
22:39just a deafening silence
22:40and that's what's wrong
22:41worried your Luna might cause a scene
22:43my enforcers are guarding the door
22:45she won't get within 50 feet
22:48she dares
22:49females shouldn't be spoiled
22:50Sienna is a sweet thing
22:52obedient
22:53doesn't have that intense energy your Luna has
22:58she used to look at me like this
23:00like I was the only thing in the world worth her claws
23:03that fire
23:05she killed it herself
23:07long before tonight
23:16she couldn't live without the bond
23:19she was enduring it to prove a point
23:21that's what I told myself
23:25mom I'm in the middle of a summit

23:38the scent of home was gone
23:40replaced by cleaning products
23:45my wolf paced in my mind
23:48claws scratching
23:50something was wrong
23:53something deeper than a fight
24:00mom

24:04Matthew

24:10she's hiding in some hotel with the pup
24:12throwing a tantrum

24:17she'll come crawling back
24:23crawling back

25:22she is not trying to blackmail you
25:25she is truly done with you
25:26she doesn't want your rank

26:33that was the first moment he truly began to doubt himself
26:38Matthew that recording is a forgery
26:40they are framing me
26:41our baby
26:49what if
26:50what if it was real
27:01some truths

27:06can never be undone
27:11two years
27:12two years i watched him make excuses for her
27:14tonight i'll watch him make excuses to himself
27:18run it
27:20full spectral analysis
27:22now
27:24stand by alpha
27:2510 minutes
27:26he'd never tasted helplessness before
27:29two years late to the party
27:32forgery probability under 0.1 percent
27:34voice print 100 match to sienna ford
27:37background matches the abandoned doc's acoustic signature
27:43alpha
27:43miss ford is awake
27:44she's very emotional
27:46she's asking for you
27:47she says her stomach hurts
27:49she's worried the stress is hurting the pup
27:51every tear she shed was a line
27:53every trembling lip was a stage direction
27:56alpha we dug into miss ford's medical history
27:58the pregnancy report is suspicious
27:59the attending healer received a large untraceable payment and goal the day before the report was issued
28:03and her past during your relationship with her she was closely involved with multiple rogue males
28:08there's also a confirmed omega from the shadow pack
28:10every time she cried every time she bared her throat it was choreography
28:17and he the fool played his part for two years
28:26he used to believe he walked into that hospital as a protector
28:30tonight he walked in as a verdict
28:42alpha you're finally here i
28:47the recording is real sienna what else do you have to say
28:52no that's fake
28:54eily set me up she hacked the system
28:56a setup
29:01then what about the fake pregnancy
29:03what about the rogue males the shadow pack omega is that also elah's doing
29:10sienna listen carefully you will pay for everything
29:13from tonight on this territory you are nothing stripped of all protection
29:16banished from robinson lands
29:18pray i don't find more evidence if i do it won't be his exile it will be execution
29:22he thought this was justice it was only self-sentencing three years late
29:27he walked in expecting lavender instead he learned what silence sounds like after it stopped being
29:33silence a den isn't a house it isn't money it's her and her breathing inside these walls
29:44the first time in his life this alpha howled
29:48and there was no one left to hear it
29:54two years two years of sleeping with one eye open of breathing in his storm
29:58tonight the air smells like nothing
30:01my wolf still doesn't know how to stop looking for him for the next blow for the footsteps behind me
30:10then i saw him
30:12the old lucas would have picked me up and spun me around
30:16every homecoming every christmas every victory
30:20but today he saw something in me
30:23and he held back
30:26he let go before anyone could see me crack
30:29that's how he's always loved me without ever making me pay for it
30:33ellipop do you still remember uncle lucas
30:37little princess we're heading to the castle

31:38reporting in alpha mission accomplished the two princesses have been safely delivered across
31:43enemy lines awaiting orders sir

31:48he carries grief the way he carries luggage without ever letting anyone see it's heavy

32:12i had forgotten what it felt like to let someone guide me inside
32:18outside this gate the cold of the capital the chaos of the robinson pack
32:24the memories i carried for two years
32:26the gate closes the territory remembers we are held inside my mother there's broth
32:36my father's silence ellie's laughter and and
32:42him

32:50but something has already begun
32:52tomorrow the real story begins
33:06two years

33:17come on sweetheart bath time
33:22i need to take this council retirement matters
33:28so how's the inner wolf getting used to being unbonded it's quiet but peaceful so what now rest

33:40that i couldn't finish there now that's my sister someone is wiping my past clean
33:45and i let myself be cared for for the first time
33:55isla come help me sort threes there are some of your things from back in the day
34:00the girl in the photo
34:02it feels like just yesterday you were so radiant back then your music calmed the fiercest wolves
34:08the girl in the photo she had the whole future in her eyes
34:12if i hadn't gotten sick if it weren't for alice robinson and what she did for me
34:18the forbidden vitality transfer i might have died your father and i tried to stop you from
34:24mating matthew especially lucas he was the first to oppose it he said that boy from the robinson
34:29hamley smelled wrong too flighty his wolf too arrogant not someone who could settle down
34:34mom don't say anymore you've suffered so much but you've so my much if i had known i would have
34:42rejected alice's gift the path i chose was my own and i have ellie i never regret her but you've
34:49suffered
34:50so much if i had known this would make you go through so much pain i would have would have
34:55what
34:56his posture was like a wolf strolling into his own territory but his eyes finished scanning the room
35:02before ours did now you see who really has sharp eyes and sniff out a scumbag's true nature right
35:08you're always teasing your sister show some respect ow abuse in the den i'm just helping mom educate
35:17you okay you have to listen to good advice especially from your big brother who has the best nose in
35:22the
35:22family the past is unchangeable but at least we still have each other
35:34a few days later i signed the first lease that truly belonged to me i named it isla not robinson
35:43just me lucas came here every day he said he was safeguarding the birth of a future music master
35:50but what he was doing looked more like something else lucas you didn't have to first cup from the
35:58new machine had to get it right the only sounds in the room with a scratch of pen on paper
36:08and the tap
36:09of keys quiet like two wolves sharing the same territory when he looks at me his gaze is heavy
36:19i can't read it i told myself he is my brother security contract i'll be outside mom came to see
36:29me again
36:30there was pride in her eyes but there was something else too mom what brings you here my mother is
36:37a very
36:37steady old luna she only touches a cup like that when something truly important was at stake
36:46isla there's something i've been thinking about for a long time
36:52i feel i should tell you now
36:58the way my mother sat down told me everything she was about to set down something she'd been
37:04carrying for 20 years i know this is hard for you to hear but it's time you knew the truth
37:11lucas he's not your biological brother he does not share the reed bloodline
37:17what he's a foundling adopted the healers said we couldn't produce a pup the elders were pressuring
37:23us for an heir we found him at the orphanage for displaced wolves a stubborn little thing eyes full
37:29of prickles but i knew he needed a pack he knew from the start that you weren't his blood sister
37:34we told him when you were born and he still took the blood oath to protect you blood oath the
37:40heaviest
37:40vow in the pack heavier than marriage and he took it when he was three i thought he was being
37:47being
37:48my brother he wasn't he was guarding if you're hurt just come back my den is yours
37:57my den is yours not something a brother says something a male wolf who'd been waiting for
38:04me to come home would say he walked in and he already knew in a house of wolves secrets have
38:10a scent
38:12i just closed a big deal we need to celebrate his wolf caught it before he did something was wrong
38:18with the air what's going on here mom reminiscing again don't make my sister cry she's our family's
38:23priority protected species these days she didn't say a word but that look ryanine was her handing him
38:29off i could see my own reflection in his eyes for the first time i noticed they didn't look like
38:37mine
38:37they didn't look like my father's has our big composer hit a creative block you're furrowing
38:42your rows like you're about to squash a fly what's going on deep in thought huh his wolf was waiting
38:48for
38:48me to say yes my wolf i hadn't even fully admitted i had one listening
38:58nothing's more important than food right come on artist how about treating the hard-working
39:02manager who's been running around for you that wasn't the hand that held mine crossing the street
39:06when i was little this hand was asking a question he wasn't just my manager he never was
39:12cold fingertips on warm skin he didn't close his hand he just held it all right
39:25i didn't pull away and that was when i realized i didn't want to
39:39come on artist treat the hard-working manager who's been running around for you when we were kids he
39:46used to reach out like this to pull me out of trouble this time he was asking me if i
39:52wanted to walk in
39:55my fingers were cold his palm was burning and something and something faint but undeniable
40:05passed between us in the days that followed the air in the house changed
40:13didn't do anything just balance he was still lucas
40:19but every touch casual as it looked carried a test i didn't push him away but i didn't answer either
40:29the bond matthew tore from me was still healing
40:35his thumb had been here his thumb warm barely a second why was i the one replaying it
40:48he was patient a hunter who knew the prize was worth the wait i hadn't said yes
40:56but something inside me quietly had stopped saying no
41:07lucas no longer played the role of brother he was slowly patiently moving himself into every corner of my
41:16daily life
41:19client gave me two free tickets would have been a waste
41:23every excuse he makes is clumsy he doesn't care whether i see through them and my body
41:29is answering him without asking me first
41:33my wolf senses the courtship she doesn't launch forward to tear everything apart the way she did with
41:40matthew she just quietly lifts her head and listens my mother's so-called revelation was never an
41:49announcement it was a carefully crafted assist the mastermind was the man standing right in front of me
41:55he no longer wanted to be just my protector he was positioning himself patiently for a brand new role
42:00and for the first time in two years i thought it might be worth my courage
42:05come in
42:13that scent
42:14him
42:15came here to hide in the neutral zone is there something you need alpha robinson
42:23where's ellie i came to see my daughter she's at the academy isla have you had enough playing this
42:30little runaway act amuses you matthew have you got it wrong the severance agreement is signed we have
42:35no relationship anymore if you want to see ellie schedule through the council this is my workplace
42:39you are not welcome here your scent is polluting my studio no relationship you signed a paper do you
42:45really think you can walk away from me we are faded name your price what will it take to bring
42:49the child
42:49back to the pack don't test my patience i can buy this entire building he's still reading from a script
42:54written two years ago he doesn't know the woman he could have bought is no longer in this room isla
42:59are
42:59you done
43:07three cents two alphas one of them is suddenly realizing the other is not the little brother he thought
43:15i thought today was just another ordinary dinner day but the storm has already arrived at my door
43:25in our world a brother standing between you and your enemy is not a brother it's a territory
43:31being redrawn alpha robinson what brings a high and mighty alpha to this little neutral territory
43:36i came to see isla and my pup this is a matter between mates mates are you sleepwalking does my
43:44sister still have your mark do you need me to slap the severance to keed across your face
43:53you are nothing to her now lucas out of respect for your being isla's kin i've been polite
44:00but my family matters are none of your business
44:06isla is the one i've watched grow up i swore the blood oath to protect her how could you swear
44:11to
44:12the moon goddess you'd take care of her and what did you do you let some scent masked rogue humiliate
44:20her ellie nearly drowned in that freezing water because of you let me make this clear leave isla's
44:28site right now don't ever come near her again that was an accident sienna was unstable i handled it i
44:36banished
44:37her shut up don't ever mention that woman's name in this room lucas reed who the hell do you
44:49think you are you are a beta i have every right to see my daughter it's my blood right matthew's
44:56blood

45:22that strike was for illa and ellie my sister and niece are under my protection
45:28my territory my rules
45:33show up again and i will not hold back he felt it then not pain something older
45:42the recognition of a predator realizing he's walked into another beast's den
45:48the bond is eternal she's just punishing me she cannot let go not really
45:57if direct confrontation won't work and lucas stands guard at the gate then change direction
46:07three years of marriage now he started attacking through our pup and today the siege begins
46:15mrs reed's orders return to sender
46:20he thought this was clever he didn't know three people in that house were sending every gift back
46:30ellie
46:31do you miss daddy daddy has a new castle for you
46:36it's not convenient for the child please don't call again alpha robinson he stopped attacking me
46:44he started attacking her ellie was the weak link in their fortress
46:56i could block his calls i could return his gifts but the bloodbind hums between sire and pup
47:02a wire no gate can stop
47:04family only me my mother lucas no one else picks her up
47:10especially not him
47:17time to sleep little wolf
47:21mommy
47:23why doesn't daddy live with us in this den why did we send the big wolf doll back he said
47:30on the card
47:30he misses me the pup's wolf felt it the rejection of pack structure the absence of the alpha she was
47:36born
47:37under you have mama you have grandma you have uncle lucas our pack is small baby but it's strong
47:45but sometimes the wolf misses daddy too that was the moment i knew
47:50i couldn't hide anymore blocking him wasn't the answer silence was being read as a game
47:56the tighter i hid the tighter he clung using the pup's instincts as a weapon so i had to speak
48:03not to reconcile to mark the final territory isla tomorrow 3 pm quiet shores cafe i we need to talk
48:15just the two of us no lawyers no enforcers okay i'll be there don't be late he thought i was
48:24breaking
48:25he thought the cold war the papers the move were all a tantrum a test of his resolve he was
48:33already
48:33rehearsing the reunion tears embrace the sex that would remake the mating mark he was certain fate
48:42didn't make mistakes he thought tomorrow was a reunion he didn't know it was a reunite
48:52three years as his lunar three months apart today i'm here to bury a marriage he thinks is still
48:59breathing his scent arrives three seconds before he does musk authority a cologne designed to make a
49:07lunar's wolf kneel alpha vision he's searching for a wolf shivering from bond withdrawal what he finds
49:15is a lake frozen deep nothing moving underneath isla since sienna left i've thought a lot i was an
49:23idiot my wolf was blinded by my selfishness and by that rogue's manipulation the bond is still there
49:30isla you feel it you can't not feel it a lone wolf is vulnerable isla you have no one to
49:38protect your
49:38flank right now let me court you again restart the mating cycle give ellie a complete den i'll never
49:46make the same mistake matthew your instincts are completely broken there it is the first crack

50:05notify you the bond the title the marriage all of it is over second my life is good now my
50:11wolf is

50:28he stands guarding guarding my blind spot the posture of a mate are you done talking
50:41lucas you the two of you your siblings pat kin this is against the natural law
50:57his hand lands on my shoulder let him think it the truth will hurt more when it arrives
51:06brother and sister matthew who told you we share the same bloodline i was a foundling the reeds took me
51:12in i was the childhood partner prepared for isla from the beginning i've watched her grow up protected
51:19her waited for her my blood is clean my lineage is separate from the start to the end i've only
51:25had eyes

53:07some truths a child needs to speak out loud he used to be the alpha of our pack now he's
53:14a rogue in his
53:15own story three years of marriage one year of betrayal and tonight the proudest alpha i ever knew
53:28walks alone into the edge of the world he never came back and tonight i finally understand why
53:36the chaos is gone the challenges the affairs the constant fight for dominance faded into the
53:42background like pages turning in an ancient history book i don't need a title anymore i'm just composer
53:50isa reid invitations came one after another but i chose carefully only the projects that respected the
54:00music itself not my past not my former title as luna me me let me he filled the hollow space
54:15without a word
54:17not a father not yet something steadier uncle lucas the dark water he released his calming
54:26pheromones warm cedar earth and her small wolf inside started to breathe again by morning she smelled
54:35like his pack and grace and robert finally let go he never asks if i need rest he just makes
54:47rest possible
54:48cedar earth his scent
54:56and for the first time in three years my wolf lifted her head and sniffed the air
55:03uncle lucas is cooking
55:08you're back go wash your hands dinner's ready try my cooking tonight i hunted the ingredients myself slow down pup
55:19when did you learn to cook back when i first went abroad figured it out wolf needs to know how
55:23to feed
55:23his pack he didn't say my pack he said his pack but that bowl of soup was placed in front
55:29of me
55:32go look at your scores i've got this
55:37this isn't the safety of being locked in a cage this is the safety of holding up a home together
55:44isola i thought you should know matthew has formally obligated his position as ceo he transferred all of
55:49his remaining personal assets and the rights to the robinson territory trust to ellie he signed it all
55:53over and him he's gone to them guardians to watch the roguelands to serve without rank he asked me to
55:58say he hopes you and ellie live well he won't disturb your pack again the alpha who once refused to
56:04look
56:05back now walks alone at the edge of the world thank you alice please take care of yourself
56:16something wrong matthew left he gave everything to ellie went to the borders she deserves it
56:23what about you what do you want to do next three years ago i thought love was fireworks tonight i
56:29finally understand it's a kitchen at dusk for now this is enough the future is long and we have all
