Short filmTranscript
00:06I'm going to marry Arabella tomorrow.
00:11You clearly know that she is my stepsister.
00:15You've really let me down.
00:17No, you don't understand.
00:18I have to choose Arabella tomorrow,
00:21or she will end up in the claws of the moon wolves.
00:23Are you serious?
00:25Then what about me?
00:27Come on, just a week.
00:28I just need to keep her around long enough
00:29till the black moon brutes give up.
00:32If you want her as your Luna, so be it.
00:35And we shall never see each other again.
00:38Selina, you need to calm down.
00:40If you really want to do this the hard way,
00:44well, consider this in order from your Alpha.
00:48He turns and leave after dropping these words.
00:54I couldn't hold back my tears any longer.
00:57On the day of the mating ceremony,
00:59I stand in the moon goddess's temple
01:01as an audience of my own ceremony.
01:06Alpha, please make your choice.
01:09Everyone stand solemn and silent, waiting for Felix.
01:13Like everyone else in the hall,
01:15I stand in silence, waiting.
01:17I wish, I wish he was just joking yesterday.
01:20I wish he would still choose me.
01:23My will, Fivian, speaks coldly in my mind.
01:26He's not going to choose you.
01:27But he will.
01:29He wouldn't risk losing me forever.
01:31My choice is...
01:33He raises his hand and asks me to stand by his side.
01:37I was thrilled and jumped to his side.
01:39I know he has finally made up his mind to choose me.
01:43I knew you'd come around, Felix.
01:44I, Felix, Alpha of the Border Pack,
01:47hereby swear to reject Selina as my Luna
01:49under moon goddess's witness.
01:50His words cut through the air,
01:52loud and clear, hammering on my chest.
01:54All my wishful thoughts shattered in that moment.
01:56Gasps and chatterings ripple through the hall.
01:58They all look at me with sympathy.
02:00I must be the first bride to be rejected by my destined mate.
02:03Is this a joke, Felix?
02:05No, it's not.
02:06I've told you yesterday that I would choose Arabella.
02:08And since you are my destined mate,
02:10appointed by the moon goddess,
02:11I had to reject you first.
02:12Now it's your turn.
02:13Hurry up.
02:14Arabella is waiting for me.
02:16I, Selina, Omega of the Border Pack,
02:19accept your rejection.
02:20That bastard.
02:22He actually did it.
02:24The agony of rejection from my mate overwhelmed me.
02:28Before the moon goddess, I make my choice.
02:31My mate will be Arabella.
02:33I watched as Arabella hurried forward,
02:35her movements light,
02:37almost trembling with excitement.
02:38She slipped her arm through his,
02:40leaning into him as if she belonged there.
02:42Felix looked down at her,
02:43and something in his expression softened.
02:46Gentle,
02:47indulgent in a way I had once thought was mine alone.
02:49His beta stepped forward,
02:50his voice sharp enough to cut through the murmurs.
02:53Alpha,
02:53Selinum is the mate chosen for you by the moon goddess.
02:56You rejected her and chose another female.
02:58That goes against the goddess's will.
02:59You may refuse the goddess arrangement, Alpha,
03:02but you cannot choose an Omega to be this Pax Luna.
03:05Enough!
03:05Don't mention Arabella's status again.
03:08From this moment on,
03:10she is the mate I have chosen.
03:11Then, finally,
03:12he looked at me.
03:13I searched his face for something.
03:15Regret,
03:16hesitation,
03:17even the faintest trace of guilt.
03:19There was nothing.
03:20This is temporary.
03:22Selink,
03:23you're strong enough to understand that.
03:26I was always the one expected to understand.
03:29Selina,
03:30thank you.
03:31Thank you for being so generous,
03:33for letting the Alpha choose me.
03:36I'll return him to you in a week.
03:38She tilted her head toward Felix,
03:39her gaze filled with carefully crafted affection.
03:42Felix's attention snapped back to me,
03:44his stare intent,
03:46unwavering.
03:46I know you'll wait for me.
03:49One week,
03:50I'll come back to you.
03:52Without another word,
03:53he took Arabella's hand.
03:54Surrounded by his guards,
03:56he led her step by step out of the moon goddess temple,
03:58leaving the ceremony behind.
04:00I stood where I was,
04:02unable to move,
04:03watching as Arabella glanced back over her shoulder and smiled.
04:06I told you he wouldn't choose you!
04:09Let me out!
04:10I'll kill him!
04:11No.
04:12Let him go.
04:14Vivian snarled in protest.
04:17He helped me once.
04:19When my stepmother gave birth to an Omega daughter,
04:22her resentment turned on me.
04:23My existence became an inconvenience she couldn't erase,
04:27so she chose the next best thing.
04:29I was forced to suppress my bloodline,
04:31hide what I truly was,
04:33and live as something lesser.
04:34When I was twelve,
04:36it nearly killed me.
04:37I still remembered the way the ground had felt beneath me.
04:40Cold.
04:41Damp.
04:42Pressed against my cheek as the blows kept coming.
04:44Stop!
04:45Then they stopped.
04:46A voice broke through the haze.
04:48My name's Felix.
04:49You're hurt.
04:51Let me help.
04:52I barely had the strength to look at him
04:54as he carefully applied the salem to my wounds.
05:00Why were they attacking you?
05:02I'm an Omega.
05:03No.
05:04That's not right.
05:05I can feel it.
05:06You're stronger than that.
05:07For a moment, I hesitated.
05:08Then I told him the truth.
05:10I'm the daughter of a Gamma.
05:12A white wolf.
05:13My current mother.
05:15She's my stepmother.
05:17Understanding flickered across his face.
05:19She gave birth to an Omega.
05:21So she hates me.
05:23She forbade me from revealing my bloodline.
05:25So I have to live like this.
05:27That's...
05:28That's cruel.
05:29Does your father know?
05:31He doesn't.
05:33That's messed up.
05:37It doesn't matter anymore.
05:41From now on,
05:43I'll protect you.
05:44From that day forward,
05:46I stayed by his side.
05:48No one dared lay a hand on me again.
05:51Vivian came into my life
05:52later on,
05:53my 15th birthday,
05:54when my wolf finally awakened.
05:57She never knew
05:58what it had been like before him.
06:00When I finished telling her,
06:02she fell silent.
06:03The anger in her presence dimmed,
06:05though it didn't disappear.
06:08Fine.
06:09Then we let him go.
06:11Just this once.
06:13I glanced around at the pack.
06:16They had all moved away from me.
06:20I'll choose someone else.
06:22But no one's going to choose me.
06:24Then stop hiding.
06:25Let me out.
06:26Show them your white wolf bloodline.
06:29Every alpha here would fight to claim you.
06:31I tried to reach for her.
06:32To break through whatever was holding her back.
06:34But the power wouldn't come.
06:36I can't.
06:38This is bad.
06:39Before I could respond,
06:40the atmosphere shifted.
06:42A ripple of unease spread through the crowd.
06:44Voices rising.
06:46Tension tightening all at once.
06:48The Black Moon Pack is here.
06:49What are they doing here now?
06:51Those monsters...
06:51Where is Arabola?
06:53I'm here to claim her as my mate.
06:56Arabola has already been chosen.
06:58Alpha Felix claimed her.
07:00She is now our Luna.
07:02Bullshit.
07:03She was mine to take.
07:05You think you can just steal what I chose?
07:08Then you'll compensate me.
07:11The tension snapped.
07:12His gaze shifted and landed on me.
07:15Standing alone at the edge of the crowd.
07:17Fine.
07:19Then I'll take that one instead.
07:21He moved before I could react.
07:23The force of his grab sent me stumbling.
07:25Pain shooting through my arm as his grip tightened.
07:28His pack surged forward behind him.
07:31Surrounding me in an instant.
07:33Fists and claws came down without hesitation.
07:36Pain tore through me as blow after blow landed.
07:39Sharp and relentless.
07:40I locked my jaw swallowing every instinct to cry out.
07:44Every flicker of weakness they wanted to see.
07:46Animals.
07:47All of them.
07:48Damn Felix.
07:50Damn Arabella.
07:51Let me out.
07:51I'll rip them apart.
07:53This has gone too far.
07:54This is a mating ceremony.
07:56Forced claiming is forbidden.
07:58This violates the moon goddess law.
08:01The accusations from the crowd didn't slow the black moon wolves.
08:05She didn't hide her scent.
08:06She wanted to be chosen.
08:08She's already been rejected anyway.
08:10And anyone who gets in my way, I'll claim them too.
08:13No one stopped them.
08:14I had been abandoned.
08:15Enough.
08:15A Toll figure stepped forward.
08:18His arm came up, knocking aside the hands reaching for me as if they weighed nothing.
08:23The rules of the mating ceremony are built on mutual choice, not force.
08:27She is a creation of the moon goddess, not prey for you to take.
08:30That era.
08:32Ligon royalty.
08:34I, Ethan, make my choice before the moon goddess.
08:39I choose Selina as my mate.
08:42He extended his hand toward me.
08:44I came here to take you with me.
08:46Away from this place.
08:48Away from the ones who betrayed you.
08:49I swear, as an alpha of the Lichen royal bloodline, that from this moment on, I will protect you.
08:55Will you come with me?
08:57He's sincere.
08:59I can feel it.
09:00Choose him.
09:02I will.
09:03Ethan's gaze softened, just slightly.
09:06He bent without hesitation and lifted me into his arms, holding me securely against his chest.
09:12The black moon wolves tried to step forward again.
09:14She's mine!
09:15Ethan didn't even look at him.
09:17The pressure of his presence alone was enough to force them back.
09:20She didn't choose you.
09:22She chose me.
09:24The mating ceremony requires mutual consent.
09:27He carried me straight through the chaos, not once looking back.
09:30By the time we left the ceremony grounds behind, the noise had faded into the distance.
09:34The forest path ahead was quiet, the air cooler beneath the trees.
09:38Up ahead, another group of wolves had stopped to rest.
09:40Felix, Arabiala, his guards.
09:43Felix was smiling, soft, relaxed, in a way I hadn't seen in a long time.
09:48Mark her!
09:49Mark the Luna!
09:50What do you think, Selina?
09:52Will the idiot actually do it?
09:54I didn't answer.
09:55Instead, I tugged lightly at Ethan's sleeve.
09:58You want to stop?
09:59I nodded.
10:01I needed to know.
10:03No.
10:04I won't mark her.
10:06I promise Selina.
10:08This is only to get Arabiala out of danger.
10:11In one week, I'll go back to Selina.
10:13I'll complete the bond with her.
10:15Maybe he meant it.
10:17Maybe this really was just, don't be ridiculous.
10:21He'll mark her the second she cries.
10:23Right on cue, Arabiala's eyes filled with tears.
10:27Felix, I'm scared.
10:29If you don't truly mark me, the Black Moon Pack won't give up.
10:33You said you'd protect me.
10:34But I promised Selina.
10:36Just a temporary mark.
10:38Only for a week.
10:39By then, the Black Moon Pack will be gone.
10:42Just one week.
10:44His hand settling at the back of her neck.
10:45His fangs emerged slowly.
10:47And then, in front of everyone, he bit down.
10:50Something inside me shattered all over again.
10:52Ethan, I told you.
10:56You're hurting.
10:58Let's go.
10:59I stopped him, my fingers tightening weakly against his arm.
11:03Ethan, wait.
11:08I'm a white wolf.
11:09I've been suppressing my bloodland for years.
11:11Vivian is trapped inside me.
11:13I can't fully access my power.
11:15The herbs I need to restore it, they only grow here.
11:18I need one week to recover.
11:20Then I'll leave with you.
11:21Take back our strength.
11:23Let them see what you really are.
11:25I reached for my communicator, intending to add him.
11:27But it wasn't there.
11:28I checked again.
11:30Nothing.
11:30It's gone.
11:31How are we supposed to contact each other?
11:33We have a mind link.
11:35That's enough.
11:36I'll wait for you.
11:37One week.
11:39I'll come back for you myself.
11:41And anyone who tries to stop that will be making an enemy of the Lycan royal bloodline.
11:46Carefully, he set me back on my feet.
11:48His hand languid for a moment before he stepped away.
11:51Then he turned and left.
11:53I stood there for a second longer, drawing in a slow breath before straightening my spine,
11:58and walked back alone.
12:00The next morning, I was sorting through herbs when the door burst open.
12:05Felix strode in.
12:07I knew you'd stay.
12:09Selina, I knew you'd wait for me.
12:11I know I hurt you.
12:13But everything I did was for the pack.
12:15You understand that?
12:17You marked her.
12:19I had to.
12:21If I didn't, the Black Moon pack would have come after her again.
12:25It's only temporary.
12:27It doesn't change anything between us.
12:29Disgusting.
12:31You told me you wouldn't mark her.
12:33You didn't keep your word.
12:34Don't come here again.
12:36I pushed him towards the door.
12:39Selina, don't be like this.
12:41Don't touch me.
12:42I already chose someone else at the ceremony.
12:46You're joking.
12:47No one in this pack would choose you over me.
12:51Everyone knows you're mine.
12:53Not from this pack.
12:55Then why didn't you leave with him?
12:57Selina, just admit it.
12:58You're throwing a tantrum.
12:59I stayed to restore my bloodline.
13:03In one week, my mate will come for me.
13:07You're making things up.
13:10Alpha!
13:11The Black Moon Alpha is here again.
13:13He's causing trouble.
13:14Felix's expression hardened instantly.
13:17They're demanding to take our Luna.
13:20Think it over.
13:22Calm down.
13:24Then he left.
13:26I stayed inside.
13:28Whatever was happening outside no longer mattered to me.
13:32The pack.
13:33The conflict.
13:34The noise.
13:35It all felt distant.
13:37The only thing that mattered now was restoring my white wolf bloodline.
13:41And leaving.
13:45You did well.
13:46We'll get our strength back soon.
13:48I can feel it.
13:50I didn't need to answer.
13:52She already knew.
13:53It had taken time, but I finally gathered everything I needed.
13:57Vivian.
13:58We might recover sooner than we thought.
14:00Then we can leave with Ethan.
14:03For once, I agree.
14:11Felix, have you lost your mind?
14:13Don't you see she's bleeding?
14:15I see that.
14:16You should take her to a healer.
14:18You're not going to apologize?
14:20For what?
14:21For this.
14:22This is because of you.
14:24You can't be serious.
14:25Why would I apologize?
14:26Selina, you colluded with the Black Moon pact to harm our Luna.
14:30You owe her an apology.
14:33And punishment.
14:34I did no such thing.
14:37Believe what you want.
14:38I lost this a long time ago.
14:40Excuses.
14:41Felix, it hurts.
14:43Selina, why would you do this?
14:45What I have with Felix isn't real.
14:47Couldn't you endure just one week?
14:49Selina's your responsibility now.
14:51Decide her punishment.
15:03The accusations spread quickly through the pack, growing louder, harsher with every voice.
15:11Selina, you colluded with the Black Moon pact to harm our Luna.
15:15Your punishment is as follows.
15:17You will be injected with Wolfboard Venom for seven days and confined to the dungeon.
15:22This is the Alpha's command.
15:26Alpha.
15:28Felix.
15:35I was thrown into the darkest, dampest dungeon beneath the pack grounds.
15:40No food.
15:42No clean water.
15:43No one came to check on me.
15:45Day after day, the venom was forced into my body.
15:48It burned like fire in my veins, tearing through me from the inside out.
15:53But as the days passed, her strength was suppressed piece by piece.
15:58Her voice grew faint.
16:00Her presence dimmed.
16:02I tried reaching out through the mind link.
16:05Ethan.
16:06The venom was weakening that bond too.
16:09I held on to that thought.
16:11One week.
16:12He said he would come.
16:14By the fifth day, Vivian had almost completely fallen silent.
16:19She retreated deep within me.
16:21Vivian.
16:23I'm here.
16:26The only thing that remained constant was the communicator.
16:30Message after message flashing across the screen.
16:34All from Arabella.
16:36Felix is feeding me himself.
16:38Felix and I slept together today.
16:41Did you ever sleep with him?
16:42I doubt it.
16:44He's not very experienced.
16:46I didn't look at it for long.
16:47More messages came.
16:53I said nothing.
16:55Did nothing.
16:56Inside me, Vivian stirred weakly.
16:59They both deserve to die.
17:02On the seventh night, the dungeon door opened.
17:07You're being released.
17:09I forced myself to stand.
17:11My body barely holding together.
17:13I made it outside.
17:15Dot Arabella was waiting.
17:16She stood a short distance away.
17:18Selene.
17:19How was your time in the dungeon?
17:21Felix only cares about me now.
17:23Me and our child.
17:25He won't choose you again.
17:27Did he permanently mark you?
17:29You don't carry his full scent.
17:31So no, he didn't.
17:33Oh, right.
17:35He promised me he wouldn't permanently mark you.
17:39Don't worry.
17:40He told me he would mark me.
17:42That I'd be his Luna.
17:47I'll take good care of your child.
17:51Selene.
17:53You're out.
17:56Don't go near Arabella again.
17:58She's pregnant.
17:59My child.
18:00You shouldn't be out here.
18:02The weather isn't good.
18:03You should rest.
18:05But Felix.
18:06Selene said that...
18:07What did you say to her?
18:08I said you didn't permanently mark her.
18:10She's not your true Luna.
18:11You know I'll still choose Selene.
18:13She said she's going to take my baby.
18:15Selene, I'll choose you.
18:16But I won't abandon Arabella either.
18:18You're both important.
18:19Her child will stay with her.
18:20And we'll have our own.
18:21I won't choose you.
18:24I already have a mate.
18:26You're still pretending?
18:28You said your mate would come for you in seven days.
18:30It's been seven days.
18:32He's not here.
18:32She just hasn't thought it through yet.
18:34Let me talk to her.
18:38Selene, I know you love Felix.
18:40I'm willing to share him with you.
18:43Feel it.
18:44Felix's child.
18:46He's strong.
18:48Why are you still alive?
18:50The venom should have killed you.
18:59My baby!
19:00It hurts!
19:01Oh my god.
19:06What did you do?
19:08How could you hurt her?
19:11She's pregnant!
19:12With my child!
19:18Enough.
19:19In front of everyone, you will apologize to Arabella.
19:22Now.
19:23I won't.
19:24What did you say?
19:25I said I won't apologize.
19:27She fell on her own.
19:28Selene.
19:29I never wanted to fight you for Felix.
19:33Why would you hurt me?
19:35Hurt my baby?
19:36You're lying.
19:38While you were locked in the dungeon, Arabella kept speaking well of you.
19:41Speaking well of me?
19:43While carrying your child?
19:45That was an accident.
19:46We weren't in our right minds that day.
19:50Enough.
19:51Enough.
19:51From today onward, I will give Arabella a permanent mark.
19:54She will be the only Luna of the Border Pack.
19:59As for you, Selene.
20:01I exile you from the pack.
20:04You are never to return.
20:13A crushing pressure descended from above.
20:16The air itself seemed to freeze.
20:20Ethan stood at the entrance.
20:22A crushing pressure descended from above.
20:25Selene is my mate.
20:27The air itself seemed to freeze.
20:29Ethan stood at the entrance.
20:32Your Highness.
20:34I am the Alpha of the Border Pack.
20:37I'm handling an internal matter.
20:38She attacked my pregnant Luna.
20:40I was just about to exile her.
20:43I didn't push her.
20:44Silence!
20:45Everyone saw what you did.
20:47She's jealous.
20:48Of course she attacked Arabella.
20:51Take her away.
21:02Selena is my mate.
21:06Are you attempting to harm the mate of Lycan royalty?
21:10Your Luna?
21:12That's impossible.
21:13She's an Omega I rejected.
21:15She cannot be your mate.
21:17At the mating ceremony, I chose Savina.
21:21And she chose me.
21:23Under the Moon Goddess's witness.
21:31No.
21:32That's not real.
21:34Selene, this isn't funny.
21:36You said you would wait for me.
21:37I told you already.
21:39At the ceremony, I chose someone else.
21:42You just refused to believe it.
21:44This can't be happening.
21:48Selene, why didn't you wait?
21:50I love you.
21:51You love her.
21:52Then why is the woman beside you carrying your child?
21:56Wolfabe.
21:58You poisoned my mate.
22:01He reached into his coat and withdrew a pale, moonlit vial, bringing it gently to my lips.
22:07Selene, don't be afraid.
22:09Drink.
22:10I did.
22:11The moment it touched my tongue, whomps surged through my body.
22:15Power flooded my veins, breaking through the suffocating suppression that had bound me for years.
22:20Behind me, Vivian rose with a triumphant towel.
22:23A massive white wolf took form in spectral light, her fur shimmering like woven moonlight.
22:33She's a white wolf.
22:35The first in a century.
22:37You stayed to restore your bloodline.
22:40If not for the herbs here, she wouldn't have stayed at all.
22:44Did you really think she was waiting for you?
22:46She hadn't held me back, I would have torn you apart.
22:49He helped me once, and the pack needs an alpha.
22:53My father protected this place his entire life.
22:58Let's go.
22:59Wait!
23:00Selene, you can't just leave!
23:02You attacked me!
23:03You owe me an apology!
23:05White wolf or not, you cannot harm the Luna, especially one carrying a child.
23:09You must be punished.
23:11Alpha, your judgment.
23:12Apologize and come back to me.
23:16I already told you.
23:17It wasn't me.
23:19I believe you.
23:21I placed a memory crystal on Savina long ago.
23:24It contains everything.
23:36The scene replayed in perfect clarity.
23:39Arabella provoking, stepping forward, and deliberately throwing herself to the ground.
23:44Every detail, every movement, undeniable.
23:47Even earlier moments appeared.
23:50Me searching for my missing communicator.
23:52Telling Ethan it had been lost.
23:54The truth unfolded before everyone.
24:00Her communicator really was missing.
24:03We wronged her.
24:05She's leaving.
24:06The pack will lose its white wolf.
24:09Felix stood frozen, the color draining from his face as the truth sank in.
24:13It hadn't been me.
24:15None of it had.
24:16His knees, his knees hit the ground.
24:19Rain soaking through his clothes in seconds.
24:21But he didn't move.
24:23Selene, I'm sorry.
24:26I was wrong.
24:27I was so wrong.
24:28I watched him quietly.
24:29There was no anger left.
24:31No satisfaction.
24:32Only distance.
24:34You remember, don't you?
24:36When you were twelve, I saved you.
24:40We made a promise in the Moon Temple.
24:42We said we'd always be together.
24:46Give me another chance.
24:50I remember.
24:52But I also remember the mating ceremony.
24:56I remember you rejecting me.
24:58I remember you marking her.
25:01I remember you locking me in the dungeon and poisoning me.
25:05I know I hurt you, but I love you.
25:08That hasn't changed.
25:13She is my mate.
25:16Felix's gaze dropped to where Ethan held me.
25:19Then we'll do it again.
25:21Another mating ceremony.
25:23This time, I'll choose you.
25:25Felix, I already have a mate.
25:28I don't need another ceremony.
25:30It was over.
25:31I slipped my arm through Ethan's and looked up at him.
25:34My gaze steady.
25:35Let's go.
25:36He nodded once, then turned with me at his side.
25:40And this time, I didn't look back.
25:46You're the only white wolf our pack has seen in a hundred years.
25:50Your bloodline belongs here.
25:52You can't leave.
25:55The white wolf bloodline doesn't belong in a place built on betrayal.
25:59It belongs somewhere bigger than this.
26:01Your father would never agree to this.
26:04Selena, don't go.
26:08You've always waited for me.
26:10Why won't you wait this time?
26:13Because I don't want to wait anymore.
26:17Ethan's hand tightened around mine, steady and certain.
26:20I will take her to where she belongs and give her the honor and peace she deserves.
26:25Behind us, Felix sank to the ground, the last of his resolve breaking under the weight of it all.
26:33With the truth exposed, Arabella's composure shattered.
26:37You lied to the Alpha.
26:39You framed the white wolf.
26:41You deceived all of us.
26:43Panic flickered across her face as she struggled to find words.
26:49Alpha, what is her punishment?
26:52The same as Selima's.
26:54Seven days of Wolfbane.
26:56Then exile.
26:58No!
26:59Felix, you can't do that!
27:01I'm pregnant!
27:02Your child!
27:06Then lock her in the dungeon.
27:08After she gives birth,
27:10the punishment will be carried out.
27:13You can't treat me like this!
27:16I'm your Luna!
27:17This is the Moon Goddess as well!
27:21The guard stepped forward and dragged her away,
27:24her screams echoing as she struggled against them.
27:29The pack turned to me.
27:31Gone was the judgment.
27:32In its place, shame.
27:34We wronged you.
27:36We believed lies.
27:39I'm sorry.
27:42Selene, the pack has failed you.
27:45If you are willing to stay,
27:47you will be our Luna,
27:48the highest authority in the Border Pack.
27:52Stay.
27:53Protect the pack.
27:55We need you.
27:57There was nothing left here for me.
27:59I won't stay.
28:01I already have a mate.
28:02I won't be your Luna.
28:04I didn't hesitate.
28:06I took Ethan's hand and turned away.
28:08Behind me,
28:08I heard movement,
28:09then footsteps stumbling through the mud.
28:12Selene, wait!
28:14Please!
28:16Don't go!
28:18I can't live without you!
28:21Look at me!
28:23Just once more!
28:24Give me another chance!
28:26Selene!
28:28From that moment on,
28:29the Alpha of the Border Pack
28:31would never have his white wolf again.
28:33And I, Selene,
28:35the rare white wolf,
28:37will walk forward with Ethan
28:38into the life that was truly mine.
28:41On the day of my wedding
28:42to the Lycan prince,
28:44his childhood sweetheart, Rue,
28:45his wet nurse's daughter,
28:46killed herself with her own claw.
28:48Cain knocked over the Blood Covenant cup.
28:49He was silent for a long moment.
28:51Give the wet maid some gold coins
28:52for her retirement.
28:54Bury Rue properly.
28:56Then he went back to completing
28:57the Blood Covenant ritual with me,
28:58as if nothing had happened.
29:00Five years later,
29:01the night before Cain's coronation
29:02as Lycan king,
29:03the elders examined me
29:04and declared I was barren.
29:05Would never bear children.
29:07He had his warriors drag me
29:08to the stone quarry
29:09behind the royal grounds.
29:10Made me pave a road of atonement.
29:11Said I could never return to court.
29:13That night,
29:14he pointed at Rue's grave marker and said,
29:15She was carrying my pup
29:17when she died.
29:19If your Stormfreak tribe
29:20weren't so powerful,
29:21why would I have married you?
29:23Rue would still be alive.
29:25And so would my child.
29:28You don't deserve to have offspring.
29:30Spend the rest of your life
29:31moving stones.
29:33Atone for Rue
29:34and her pup.
29:36Within a year,
29:37my father and brother
29:37were framed for colluding
29:38with vampires.
29:39The entire Stormfang tribe
29:40was slaughtered.
29:41I coughed up blood and died.
29:43Then I opened my eyes.
29:45I was back the day
29:45I was marrying into the royal court.
29:48Outside,
29:48the wolves were howling at the moon.
29:51The sound of Alpha Cain
29:52kicking the wedding carriage axle
29:54snapped me fully awake.
29:56I was reborn.
29:58I clenched my fists.
29:59My heart pounded.
30:01If the moon goddess
30:02was giving me a second chance,
30:04I wasn't going to waste it.
30:05The Stormflag tribe
30:06wouldn't die in vain.
30:07I would live this time.
30:09And I would make him pay
30:10for every drop of blood
30:11he spilled
30:12in my past life.
30:13Cain led me into the ritual circle.
30:15Freya,
30:16my handmaiden,
30:17steadied my arm.
30:18As she leaned in,
30:19I whispered a few quick words.
30:21Freya's eyes flickered.
30:23She was a warrior
30:24raised by the Stormfling tribe.
30:26She'd been by my side
30:27since childhood.
30:28A handmaiden in name,
30:29a bodyguard in truth.
30:30I trusted her completely.
30:32The wedding between Alpha Cain
30:33and the daughter of Stormfang,
30:34every chieftain
30:35in the northern territories
30:36had come with their mates.
30:38It was the biggest union
30:39the north had seen in years.
30:40The daughter of Stormfang
30:41was about to become
30:42the luna of the royal court.
30:44The ritual circle
30:45was alive with noise.
30:47In the name of the moon goddess,
30:49bind by blood.
30:50Then a young servant
30:51from Rue's room
30:52came running in,
30:53stumbling over herself.
30:54Alpha!
30:55Rue tried to kill herself!
31:00Tears streaming down her face.
31:01She dropped to her knees,
31:03forehead hitting the ground.
31:04Rue grew up with the Alpha.
31:07Please, Alpha, save her!
31:09Why would she do something so stupid?
31:11I told her I'd give her
31:12a title after the wedding.
31:13He caught himself mid-sentence
31:15and shut his mouth.
31:16He turned to run.
31:17Remembered it was his wedding day.
31:19Every chieftain in the north
31:20was watching.
31:21If he left now,
31:22by tomorrow his father's desk
31:23would be buried in letters
31:25demanding his head.
31:26Leora, I need to check on Rue.
31:28I'll come back
31:29and finish the blood covenant.
31:31The wedding's set.
31:32What's the hurry?
31:32I widened my eyes,
31:34made my voice small and pitiful.
31:35Alpha, this is a matter
31:37of life and death.
31:39Why don't I come with you?
31:41A luna should handle
31:42household affairs after all.
31:45Cain looked relieved.
31:46Yes, yes, of course.
31:47So the Alpha and his bride-to-be
31:49left the ritual circle
31:50halfway through the ceremony
31:51to visit a wet nurse's daughter.
31:53The crowd whispered behind us.
31:55They couldn't believe it.
31:56Inside the wooden house,
31:58Rue was wearing a moonlight gown,
31:59the kind a bride was supposed
32:00to wear for the blood covenant.
32:02She'd dyed cheap burlap white herself.
32:04The stitches were crooked.
32:06Her half-shifted claws
32:07were pressed against her own throat.
32:09Her fingertips had already broken skin.
32:11Blood trickled down her neck,
32:12dripping onto the white dress.
32:14She saw Cain walk in,
32:15burst in tears.
32:18Threw herself at him.
32:21Alpha, I didn't mean to.
32:22I just want to be with you.
32:26I know I'm low-born.
32:28Distemptity.
32:29I can never be your luna.
32:32But I wanted,
32:34just once,
32:35to wear a moonlight gown
32:37and complete the blood covenant with you.
32:39You know I've wanted
32:41to be your mate
32:42since we were children.
32:44Cain pulled her close.
32:46His face was twisted with pain.
32:48Why are you so stupid?
32:50Why are you stupid?
32:51I told you I'd give you a title
32:53after the luna moved in.
32:57Why would you do this?
32:59If anything happened to you,
33:01how could I go on?
33:03Are you trying to rip my heart out?
33:06Rue took his hand,
33:07placed it gently over her stomach.
33:09Alpha, the healer came a few days ago.
33:12I'm carrying your pup.
33:14Two months.
33:16I didn't want my child
33:17to be born low-win.
33:19To be mocked
33:21and called bastard.
33:26That's why I...
33:27Really?
33:30Really?
33:32You're carrying my pup?
33:37Yes, Alpha.
33:40We're having a child.
33:41They held each other.
33:43Everyone else just stared.
33:45No way.
33:46The Alpha knocked up
33:47a wet mater's daughter?
33:51On his wedding day.
33:52And she chose today
33:53to make a scene.
33:54Look at them.
33:55This is bad.
33:56Iora must be devastated.
33:58She's the future Luna.
34:00This is a slap
34:01in Stormfing's face.
34:02Alpha Cain.
34:03I thought she was just a servant.
34:05Now you're telling me
34:06she's pregnant with your pup?
34:07Leora.
34:08She's my wet nurse's daughter.
34:10We grew up together.
34:11She's the woman I love.
34:13So you're in love.
34:14You've been meeting in secret.
34:16And now there's a child.
34:22Rue scrambled off the bed,
34:24dropped to the floor
34:24in a full submission kneel.
34:26Forehead to the ground,
34:28hands spread wide,
34:30throat bared.
34:33Luna, it's not the Alpha's fault.
34:35Luna, it's not myself.
34:38It's mine.
34:39I couldn't control myself.
34:46My palm connected with her cheek.
34:55How dare you?
34:58I'm the legitimate daughter
34:59of Stormfun.
35:00I was raised with discipline.
35:03I will not be slander.
35:05I met the Alpha
35:06two times before the engagement.
35:08Always with Elders present.
35:10Never alone.
35:11So don't drag my name
35:13through the mud
35:14just to make yourself
35:16look less disgusting.
35:19Rue sobbed,
35:20shook her head.
35:24It's my fault, Luna.
35:27Forgive me.
35:30Then she half shifted
35:31and dragged her own claws
35:32down her face.
35:33Three gashes
35:34from forehead
35:35to cheekbone.
35:36Blood poured
35:37down her cheeks.
35:38Pain grabbed
35:39her arms.
35:40Stop!
35:44He looked at me.
35:45I not,
35:47you renounced to Bint.
35:48His voice was sharp
35:49with blame.
35:50This isn't Rue's fault.
35:52That's baking at you it.
35:54You were.
35:54That's the only difference.
35:57Without your father's wolves,
36:01would I want you as Luna?
36:03Rue tried to kill herself today
36:05because of you.
36:07She's carrying my pup.
36:10Now you're married in.
36:12Rue is my consort.
36:13I won't leave her
36:14or my child
36:15without a title.
36:16I laughed at him.
36:17Luna?
36:18The Lycan King himself
36:19had approved this match.
36:21If it weren't
36:21for this engagement,
36:23Kane wouldn't even be
36:23sitting in the Alpha's seat.
36:25I lifted my chin.
36:26The Luna position
36:28was granted
36:28by the Lycan King himself.
36:32How you've behaved today
36:34on our wedding day.
36:35insults not only Stormfig
36:37but also the King.
36:38If you loved Rue,
36:40why not call the engagement?
36:41You wanted my family's army
36:43and your lover.
36:45Did you think
36:46I'd refuse you a consort?
36:49And you?
36:52You've known
36:52about the pregnancy.
36:54You waited
36:54until wedding day
36:55to make a scene.
36:57Are you really
36:58not doing this
36:59on purpose?
37:02I heard a servant say
37:04you make consorts
37:05drink sterilization tonic.
37:07I was afraid
37:08for my pup.
37:10Sterilization tonic.
37:11Which servant?
37:12My people just arrived.
37:14They don't even know
37:15where the wooden houses are.
37:16Why would they gossip
37:17about me?
37:18Do you think
37:18the servants of Stormburn
37:20are as undisciplined
37:21as yours?
37:21Go on.
37:22Name the servant.
37:23Let's have a face-to-face
37:24confrontation.
37:26Rue's face went red
37:28then pale.
37:29Finally,
37:29she whispered,
37:31Oh,
37:32I don't know,
37:33maybe I misheard.
37:34Everyone understood.
37:36It was pathetic.
37:37Just a whore.
37:39Using her belly
37:39to cause trouble
37:40on a wedding day.
37:41She thought a noble bride
37:42would be too ashamed
37:43to fight back.
37:45Leora must be
37:45so humiliated.
37:46She's a storm home.
37:48The future Luna.
37:50Then Kane's wet nade,
37:51Rue's mother
37:52came rushing in.
37:54Dropped to her knees
37:55in full submission pose.
37:57Luna.
37:58Luna.
37:59Raise the alpha.
38:01Give Rue a title.
38:02Or the king
38:03and queen
38:04will kill her.
38:06Get up.
38:09You're my Luna
38:10and you're making her kneel?
38:12This is how Stormfin
38:13treats elders?
38:17I loved Rue
38:18before you.
38:19I accepted you
38:20as Luna.
38:22But if you're
38:22this jealous
38:23and petty,
38:24how can you be
38:25mate
38:25to a future Lycan king?
38:29I remembered
38:30what he'd done
38:31to my family
38:32in my past life.
38:33The blood
38:34rushed to my head.
38:38This time,
38:39I would not
38:40let history repeat.
38:43Kane and Rue
38:44clung to each other.
38:45I stepped back
38:46and pulled off
38:48my wolf-thing necklace.
38:51Your love
38:52is so touching.
38:53I won't stand
38:54between you.
38:55We haven't completed
38:56the blood covenant.
38:57Technically,
38:58we aren't mates.
38:59And Rue
39:00is already wearing
39:01her moonlight gown.
39:02Why don't you two
39:03complete the ritual together?
39:08The engagement
39:10is over.
39:11I'm not marrying you.
39:15The chieftains behind
39:16me erupted.
39:18No way.
39:19The Lycan king
39:21himself approved
39:22this match.
39:25The Alpha
39:26slapped Stormfin
39:27in the face.
39:28Radnar Stormfin
39:28won't let this go.
39:30Lyora is a
39:30Stormfog princess.
39:31She doesn't have
39:32to take this.
39:33She'd rather lose
39:33the lunar position
39:34than tolerate
39:35a servant's
39:35bastard child.
39:39Kane stared at me,
39:41stunned.
39:41You're breaking
39:42off the engagement?
39:43This is treason.
39:44My father
39:45approved this marriage.
39:48Alpha,
39:48don't fight
39:49with the Luna
39:49because of me.
39:50I'll give up
39:51everything.
39:51Go complete
39:52the blood covenant.
39:54Don't make
39:54the Lion King angry.
39:56Don't break
39:57father and son apart.
39:59You're always
39:59thinking of me.
40:01My good Rue.
40:03I won't fail you.
40:05Are you sure
40:06your father and
40:07brother will agree
40:07to this?
40:08Can Stormvag really
40:09give up this kind
40:10of power?
40:11Stormfold can.
40:22Stormfold can.
40:24It was my father.
40:25Behind him
40:26stood my brother.
40:26Ragnar Stormfinn.
40:28This marriage
40:29was approved
40:30by the Lion King.
40:33Your daughter
40:34cannot simply
40:34throw away
40:35a royal convocent.
40:37He humiliated
40:38you in front
40:38of every tribe.
40:40Hold.
40:41My daughter
40:42has spoken.
40:43Stormfinn
40:44stands with her.
40:45This covenant
40:46is broken.
40:47You dare
40:48defy
40:49the king's
40:49order.
40:50Tomorrow,
40:51I'll go to
40:51court myself.
40:53You dare!
40:54Leora,
40:55if you leave
40:55the royal court
40:56today,
40:57don't think
40:57you can ever
40:58come back.
40:58Don't worry,
40:59Alpha.
41:00I will never
41:01set foot
41:01in this court
41:02again.
41:08My father
41:09and brother
41:10brought me home.
41:11My mother
41:12had already
41:12heard the news.
41:14My Leora,
41:15you've been
41:16wronged.
41:17Her eyes
41:17were red
41:18as she came
41:18out to meet
41:19us.
41:20Because it
41:20was my wedding
41:21day,
41:21our tribe's
41:22relatives and
41:22friends were
41:23all there.
41:24Everyone
41:24was already
41:25here.
41:26Don't worry.
41:27You'll find
41:27someone better.
41:28He's not
41:29worth it.
41:29I laughed
41:30through my
41:30tears.
41:31This time,
41:32my family
41:32and tribe
41:33were alive.
41:34I would
41:34protect them.
41:35My mother
41:35held my
41:36hand.
41:37I leaned
41:37into her,
41:38feigned in
41:38girlish
41:39neediness.
41:40Father,
41:40you and
41:41mother have
41:41to stand
41:42up for me.
41:43That Alpha
41:43humiliated me.
41:44He disrespected
41:45Father too.
41:47Don't worry.
41:49The Alpha's
41:50out of line.
41:51We're not
41:52the only ones
41:52who will be
41:53writing letters
41:53of complaint.
41:54The next
41:55morning,
41:56Miss,
41:57you're awake.
41:58Something huge
42:00happened.
42:01You'll be so
42:02happy.
42:03It turned out
42:04that after I
42:04left the wedding,
42:05the servants had
42:06spread the news
42:07all the way to
42:08the Lion King
42:08and Queen.
42:11The Queen had
42:13smashed a cup of
42:13wine in fury.
42:15Rue Morrow,
42:16of all the people
42:17to offend,
42:18he chose
42:18Stormfane?
42:19That bitch.
42:21I knew her.
42:23A servant girl.
42:24I never took
42:25her seriously.
42:26Now she's
42:27carrying his
42:27pup?
42:29She thought
42:30Liara would just
42:31accept it quietly?
42:32On her wedding
42:33day?
42:34Does she even
42:34know who
42:35Liara is?
42:36Stormberg's only
42:37daughter.
42:38Raised by the
42:38Luna herself,
42:39I picked Liara
42:40for Cain.
42:41I spent years
42:42arranging this
42:43match and they
42:45ruined it.
42:46All for a
42:47half-grown pup.
42:48She thinks she
42:49can marry into
42:50the royal court
42:51because she's got
42:51a lump of flesh
42:52in her belly?
42:53This court has
42:54never lacked for
42:55pups.
42:56Bring Rue Morrow
42:57into the moon
42:57goddess altar.
42:58Make her kneel
42:59and reflect on
43:00her mistakes.
43:01When the Queen's
43:02female warriors
43:03dragged Rue out
43:04of her wooden
43:04house, she was
43:05still screaming.
43:08How dare you!
43:10I'm carrying the
43:11Lycan royal family's
43:13pup!
43:16When Alpha
43:17Cain finds out,
43:18he'll have you
43:19executed!
43:20The warriors
43:21were calm.
43:21Let me go!
43:22The Queen's
43:23orders.
43:27Kneel at the
43:28moon goddess
43:29altar.
43:30When you understand
43:30your mistake,
43:31you can get up.
43:32Impossible!
43:33I'm carrying a
43:34future royal pup!
43:36The Queen can't
43:37do this to me!
43:38I'm the Alpha's
43:39future!
43:40consort!
43:41The Queen's
43:42personal attendant
43:42stood to the side,
43:43expressionless.
43:44Miss, the Queen
43:46has made herself
43:46clear.
43:48You ruined the
43:49Alpha's engagement.
43:51The punishment
43:52for that is
43:54death.
43:56If you don't
43:57kneel and reflect,
43:58you can reflect in
43:59the dungeon instead.
44:00Rue's face went
44:01white.
44:02She didn't say
44:02another word.
44:03She spent the
44:04moonless night on
44:05her knees at the
44:06moon goddess altar,
44:07hands bound behind
44:08her back,
44:09an iron chain
44:09around her neck.
44:11Noble women
44:12passing by
44:13whispered,
44:14This is the
44:15servant girl
44:16from yesterday.
44:17She's not a
44:18servant,
44:18she's the wet
44:18nurse's daughter.
44:20Her mother was
44:20claimed by a
44:21servant.
44:22She was born a
44:23slave.
44:24She grew up
44:25with the Alpha.
44:27Think she can
44:28seduce her way
44:28to the top.
44:30Disgusting.
44:31I heard Ragnar
44:32Stormvern went
44:32to court today to
44:33ask for the
44:34engagement to be
44:34formally arrived.
44:35If that happens,
44:37the Queen is going
44:38to flay her alive.
44:40Rue broke out
44:41in a cold sweat.
44:42She looked like
44:43she might collapse.
44:48My father and
44:49brother knelt
44:49before the Lycan
44:50King.
44:51Your Majesty,
44:51we spoiled our
44:52daughter.
44:52She's not fit to
44:53marry the Alpha.
44:54Leora heard that
44:55the Alpha loved
44:56someone else.
44:56That woman is
44:57pregnant.
44:58Leora didn't want
44:59to come between
44:59them.
45:00She asked to
45:01annul the
45:01engagement.
45:02Please,
45:02Your Majesty,
45:03understand.
45:03The King's face
45:04was dark.
45:05Cain,
45:05what do you say?
45:07Cain lifted his
45:08chin.
45:08Ragnar Stormfern,
45:10were the women of
45:10Stormfern never
45:11taught basic manners?
45:13I'm going to be
45:13Lion King,
45:14so what if I have
45:15another woman?
45:16She calls off the
45:17engagement over that?
45:19Spoiled.
45:20Completely spoiled.
45:21My brother raised
45:22his head.
45:22Alpha, this isn't
45:23worth it.
45:24A single woman?
45:25You'd ruin an
45:26alliance over one
45:27woman?
45:28You sit at the
45:28highest seat of
45:29power.
45:30You're supposed to
45:30set an example.
45:31Plenty of other
45:32women want to be
45:33my Luna.
45:33If your daughter
45:34doesn't want the
45:35position, fine.
45:37Engagement annulled.
45:38Your Majesty,
45:39the Alpha has
45:40agreed.
45:41Please issue the
45:42decree.
45:42My father pressed
45:43his forehead to
45:44the ground.
45:45The Lion King
45:45looked at his son
45:46with disappointment.
45:48You are my heir,
45:49and yet you behave
45:49like this.
45:50Fine.
45:51If you insist on
45:52breaking this
45:53engagement, I will
45:54give you what you
45:55want.
45:56My father and
45:57brother left the
45:57court, beaming.
45:59Meanwhile, on
45:59Cain's side, he
46:01barely stepped out
46:01of the hall when a
46:02servant came running.
46:04Your Highness,
46:05Rue, the Queen,
46:07locked her in the
46:08tower, at the
46:09Moon Goddess
46:09altar.
46:11Cain rushed over.
46:12Rue was pale as
46:14death from kneeling.
46:15She saw him and
46:16collapsed into his
46:17arms.
46:19Alpha, save me.
46:21Cain carried her
46:22into the hall.
46:23The Queen rose to
46:24her feet, incandescent.
46:26Cain, you defied
46:28your father's order
46:29for her.
46:30You defied my
46:31order.
46:32Are you trying to
46:33bring the whole
46:33court down?
46:35Cain set Rue down,
46:37knelt before the
46:38Queen.
46:39Mother, Rue is
46:40carrying my first
46:41pup, your
46:43grandchild.
46:44The Queen smashed
46:45her cup.
46:46One pup?
46:48Against the entire
46:49Stormflow tribe?
46:50Do you understand
46:51what you've lost?
46:52Stormflow's wolves,
46:53the strongest
46:54warriors in the
46:55north.
46:56Gone!
46:57Cain raised his
46:58head.
46:58Stormfling is a
46:59loyal subject of my
47:00father.
47:01Whether his daughter
47:02is my Luna or
47:03not, he will serve
47:04the king.
47:05I'm not afraid.
47:07If I can't protect
47:08the woman I love,
47:09what kind of alpha
47:10am I?
47:11Not giving Rue the
47:12lunar position is
47:14already my biggest
47:15concession.
47:16Leora disrespected
47:17me.
47:18If I'd let her into
47:19this court, it would
47:20have been endless
47:21trouble.
47:21The Queen stared at
47:22him.
47:23For a long moment,
47:24she said nothing.
47:26Then she waved her
47:27hand.
47:27Years of teaching,
47:29all wasted.
47:32Fine.
47:33Have it your way.
47:35Leave.
47:36The news spread
47:37through the court.
47:38Cain had fought with
47:39the Queen over
47:40Rue.
47:41Some saw
47:42opportunity.
47:43If Rue would be
47:44the alpha's consort,
47:46it was worth
47:47curring favor.
47:49Noble women began
47:50visiting her.
47:57The Queen announced
47:58she would be
47:59selecting a new
48:00Luna for Cain.
48:02There was a banquet
48:03for the arrival of
48:04the southern
48:04Emseys.
48:05The Queen invited
48:06all the noble
48:07daughters to keep
48:08them company.
48:09After the banquet,
48:11we walked through
48:12the moon goddess
48:12garden toward the
48:13spring pool.
48:15Rue was sitting
48:16in one of the
48:16poolside chairs,
48:17wearing a dark
48:18red dress.
48:19Several servants
48:20stood around her.
48:21She smiled when
48:22she saw us.
48:23Leora, long time.
48:25Too bad the alpha
48:25isn't here today.
48:27We could have
48:28caught up.
48:28I heard you
48:29isn't engaged yet.
48:30Still waiting for
48:31the alpha?
48:32Oh, but the Queen
48:32is going to pick
48:33a new Luna for him
48:34soon.
48:35I bet you're
48:36regretting leaving
48:36now.
48:37I sat down
48:37across from her.
48:39I heard today
48:39was about choosing
48:40the alpha's Luna.
48:41Oh, but Rue,
48:42you're pregnant.
48:42I can't just call
48:44you by name.
48:45But you haven't
48:46been officially
48:46named a consort
48:47yet, have you?
48:49I heard today
48:50was about choosing
48:50the alpha's Luna,
48:51but you haven't
48:52been officially
48:53named a consort
48:53yet, have you?
48:55I'm not sure
48:56what to call you.
48:57That servant's
48:58bastard?
48:59The Queen
48:59seems to really
49:00like the southern
49:01princess.
49:03The Luna
49:04selection is
49:04probably settled.
49:05The Queen
49:06might pick
49:06a Luna,
49:07but the alpha
49:07says I'm
49:08the only one
49:08he loves.
49:09He'll bring
49:09in other women,
49:10but they'll
49:10just be decorations.
49:11I'm not worried.
49:13Whoever comes
49:13into this court,
49:14they'll answer
49:14to me.
49:15The Luna?
49:15The Luna
49:16is a joke.
49:17You all seem
49:17to be having
49:18such an interesting
49:19conversation.
49:20Mind if I join?
49:21I didn't see
49:22this young lady
49:23at the banquet.
49:24Who is she?
49:25Princess!
49:26This is the alpha's
49:27wet nerther's
49:28daughter.
49:29One of the
49:29noble women's
49:30explained.
49:31The one who
49:31caused a scene
49:32at his wedding.
49:33She's the alpha's
49:34favorite.
49:35None of us
49:36dare cross her.
49:37A wet
49:38mercer's
49:39daughter?
49:40So,
49:41a servant?
49:42And she doesn't
49:42even have a title?
49:43Then why are you
49:44sitting?
49:45We outrank you.
49:47Are you going
49:48to stand
49:48and bow?
49:49Is this how
49:50things are done
49:51in the north?
49:52Someone teach
49:52her some manners.
49:53Pick her up.
49:54Rue screamed
49:55as the guard
49:56stepped forward.
49:58Don't touch me!
50:00I'm carrying
50:00the alpha's
50:01puck!
50:01You're a servant.
50:02Teaching you manners
50:03is doing you a
50:04favor.
50:04How is that
50:05a death sentence?
50:06Rue's voice
50:07turned strilly.
50:09The alpha
50:10and I grew
50:10up together!
50:11We love
50:12each other!
50:14Touch me
50:15and see
50:16what happens,
50:18princess!
50:19I said,
50:20do it.
50:21The princess
50:22raised her voice.
50:25The guards
50:26grabbed Rue
50:27and forced
50:28her to her knees.
50:29The alpha
50:30will have
50:31you all
50:31killed!
50:32Rue struggled.
50:33Hit her.
50:35The guards
50:36slapped Rue
50:37across the face.
50:38Her cheek
50:38swelled.
50:41Rue let out
50:42a high-pitched
50:43scream,
50:44shoved the guards
50:45away,
50:45and half shifted.
50:47Bitch!
50:48She lunged
50:49at the princess.
50:50The princess
50:51reacted just
50:52a second
50:52too late.
50:53Something cut
50:54through the stillness
50:55and left
50:55its mark.
50:57I lunged
50:58forward,
50:59grabbed Rue,
51:00and shoved
51:00her back.
51:01She tripped
51:02over a tent
51:02rope.
51:03She screamed,
51:04but she held
51:04on and pulled
51:05me with her.
51:05We both fell
51:06into the pool.
51:07I could swim,
51:08but Rue panicked
51:09and latched
51:09onto me.
51:11We sank
51:12together.
51:13Before I lost
51:14consciousness,
51:15someone dove
51:16in.
51:16They pulled
51:17Rue off me,
51:18dragged me
51:19to shore.
51:20Brother,
51:20give Leora
51:21your cloak!
51:21She saved me,
51:23brother!
51:23Help her!
51:26The healers
51:27pounded my back.
51:28Finally,
51:28I could breathe.
51:30Alpha Cain,
51:31Lyra told that
51:32southern savage
51:32to hit me,
51:33and she pushed
51:34me into the water.
51:35She tried to kill
51:36my pup.
51:37The queen is here.
51:38The queen and her
51:39party arrived
51:40at the pool.
51:41Rue threw herself
51:42at the queen's feet.
51:44Your majesty,
51:45Leora tried to murder
51:46a royal pup.
51:48She should be executed
51:49on the spot!
51:50I stood up,
51:51wiped my mouth.
51:53Kill a chieftain's
51:54daughter on the spot?
51:55You have a lot
51:56of nerve.
51:57I fell in because
51:58you dragged me.
52:00Everyone saw.
52:01The southern princess
52:02pressed a cloth
52:03to her face.
52:04Her voice was loud
52:05and furious.
52:06Your majesty,
52:07I don't know
52:08the customs here,
52:10but in the south,
52:11attempting to
52:12assassinate a princess
52:13means execution
52:15for the assassin's
52:16entire family.
52:17She tried to kill me.
52:18Everyone saw.
52:19She clawed my face.
52:21Cain rushed forward
52:22and put himself
52:23between the princess
52:24and Rue.
52:25That's just your
52:25side of story.
52:26Rue is timid.
52:27She would never...
52:28Leora,
52:29you were the one
52:30who didn't want
52:30to be my Luna.
52:31If you're having regrets,
52:33don't take it out on Rue.
52:34Pushing her into the water
52:35with my pup inside her?
52:37That's a capital crime.
52:39A man stepped forward.
52:40Alpha Cain,
52:42are you saying
52:43my sister is lying?
52:44He wore southern royal robes,
52:47sharp features.
52:48He was Sorin Morningshide,
52:49third prince of the south.
52:51I happen to see
52:51everything in the pool.
52:52The prince is protective
52:53of his sister.
52:55Understandable,
52:56but you shouldn't
52:56make false accusations.
52:58Sorin pulled the princess'
52:59hand away from her face,
53:00looked at the bloody gash.
53:03Are you saying
53:04the southern princess
53:05clawed her own face
53:06just to frame
53:07a servant girl?
53:08I wasn't the only one
53:09watching.
53:10Your northern chieftains
53:11were there.
53:11The law keepers
53:12were there.
53:13Are they lying too?
53:14Standing nearby
53:15were the chieftains
53:16and justices.
53:17They were all looking
53:18at Cain with cold expressions.
53:20Cain,
53:21your woman tried
53:22to assassinate
53:23a southern princess.
53:24Cain's expression
53:25darkened.
53:26He turned
53:27and slapped Rue
53:28across the face.
53:31You lying bitch.
53:34You tried to frame
53:35the princess
53:36and Leora?
53:37Apologize.
53:39Now!
53:40Rue clutched her face,
53:42staring at him
53:43in disbelief.
53:44You hit me?
53:46For her?
53:48Cain leaned in,
53:49voice low and threatening.
53:51Apologize.
53:53Unless you want
53:54my father
53:54to execute you.
53:56Now.
53:56Then he hurried
53:57to Saurid's side,
53:59trying to smooth things over.
54:00The southern princess
54:01wasn't calming down.
54:03I walked over to Rue.
54:05Leaned down,
54:07spoke only loud enough
54:08for her to hear.
54:09The south is here
54:10to make an alliance.
54:12Do you really think
54:13the alpha will take
54:14your side over theirs?
54:15I could crush you
54:16like an insect.
54:17You're nothing.
54:19A servant's bastard.
54:29Sauron caught my wrist.
54:31The moment he touched me,
54:33he went completely still.
54:35Mate.
54:37The word was low and rough,
54:39dragged up from somewhere deep.
54:41I froze.
54:42Before I could process it,
54:43he let go,
54:44closed his eyes briefly,
54:46collected himself.
54:47When he opened them again,
54:49his voice was cold and hard.
54:51Alpha Cain,
54:52you don't give my sister justice.
54:54I'll take it myself.
54:56Rue's face twisted.
54:58She pointed at Sauron.
54:59You're defending Lyora?
55:01You don't know
55:01what kind of slut she is!
55:03She's jealous of me!
55:05She's hated me
55:06ever since Cain chose me!
55:07You think she likes you?
55:09Don't be pathetic.
55:10Rue,
55:11not everyone is
55:12as small-minded as you.
55:14I'm never marrying Cain,
55:15and I'm never being Luna.
55:17You can stop worrying.
55:19Rue clutched her stomach.
55:20You noble girls.
55:21So fake!
55:23You think I don't know
55:23you're just playing hard to get?
55:25You want Cain to come crawling back?
55:27You talk too much.
55:31The Princess Silver Whip
55:33lashed across Rue's face.
55:35She clawed my face.
55:36I'll take a hundred times that.
55:38Arrest her.
55:39One hundred flashes.
55:40The whip came down again and again.
55:43Rue screamed.
55:44Riled.
55:45Every lash
55:46left a burning welt.
55:48Cain tried to rush forward,
55:50but the Queen
55:50grabbed his arm.
55:52Cain,
55:53do you want to start a war
55:55with the South
55:55by the 20th lash?
55:57Cain couldn't take it anymore.
55:58He shoved
55:59the executioner aside.
56:01The Princess
56:02stepped forward to argue,
56:03but Sorin stopped her.
56:05A servant attacks royalty.
56:07The Master must answer for her.
56:09The Lyman King
56:10is the Master here.
56:11I've already sent word
56:12to our father.
56:13This will be handled properly.
56:13You think I'm like
56:15the noble girls here?
56:16I don't make idle threats.
56:18If I see your face again,
56:19I'll kill you.
56:22Rue was carried away,
56:23soaked in blood.
56:25Cain stood in silence,
56:26head down.
56:27Behave yourself.
56:29Cain opened his mouth.
56:30Stay in line,
56:31if you still want to be Alpha.
56:33The Queen cut him off.
56:34Rue miscarried it that night.
56:36She cried out all night.
56:38No one came.
56:39Not even Cain.
56:40Before dawn,
56:42Cain's steward came.
56:43He moved Rue and her mother
56:45out of the court
56:45to a small house
56:46on the northern border.
56:47The Alpha is merciful,
56:49leaving before sunrise.
56:50He'll report you dead.
56:52You'll be brought back to court
56:53as his consort
56:54once you've recovered.
56:56She waited.
56:57He never came.
56:59She heard that Cain
57:00was taking a new Luna.
57:02Rue ran out
57:02of the wooden house.
57:03In the distance,
57:05the court blazed
57:06with bonfires.
57:07Cain rode a giant wolf
57:08at the head
57:09of the procession.
57:09The Luna's carriage followed.
57:11The whole territory
57:12was celebrating.
57:14Cain!
57:15She screamed.
57:16Cain!
57:17I'm Rue!
57:18I'm the woman you love!
57:20Don't you remember?
57:22Don't you remember?
57:24The drums and the howls
57:26drowned round her out.
57:27People shoved past her.
57:29She couldn't get close.
57:30She followed as far
57:32as the gates.
57:33A warrior blocked her.
57:35No entry!
57:37I'm Rue!
57:38The Alpha's!
57:40Conscort!
57:42The warrior pushed her back.
57:44The Alpha has no consort.
57:47Leave.
57:48Keep causing trouble
57:49and we won't be nice.
57:51She went back
57:52to the wooden house
57:53in a daze.
57:56Cain's steward was there
57:57with an unfamiliar
57:59with an unfamiliar old woman.
58:02The Alpha gives you
58:03these coins.
58:04You and your mother
58:05leave the North tonight.
58:08I don't believe you.
58:10The steward snapped
58:11his fingers.
58:12Coins are Wolfaban juice.
58:14A servant brought out
58:14a small bottle.
58:16Choose.
58:17She collapsed
58:19onto the floor.
58:20How did this happen?
58:22He loved me.
58:24The steward laughed.
58:25Miss,
58:26the Alpha is the future
58:28Lion King.
58:29He was infatuated.
58:30But the other princes
58:31are moving up.
58:33Now Cain knows
58:34power matters
58:35more than love.
58:36Rue asked,
58:37Who's the last?
