Short filmTranscript
00:03my mother was a gorgeous madwoman
00:07made it to the ugliest, lowest-ranked wolf in the pack
00:10with yellowed teeth and nothing to his name
00:14everyone in the pack praised my father
00:22ugly and low-ranking, but what a devoted mate
00:25then one day, a band of rogues crossed into the house
00:30they tore my father open and killed him brutally
00:34my mother stood beside them and clapped her hands with joy
00:37she walked away with the rogues and never looked back
00:39the whole pack called her cold-blooded
00:42they said she was a curse, a bad omen
00:45what they didn't know was this
00:46I, an eight-year-old girl, had hired those rogue wolves to kill my monster father
00:52he was never a good mate, never a good father
00:56through the crack in the door, I watched Brett Sander out of the bedroom
01:01adjusting his belt with that look of dark satisfaction on his face
01:07I scrambled back onto my pile of flour sacks
01:11a second later he kicked me
01:13go heat some water for your mother
01:15I didn't say a word
01:17I crawled up and went to the kitchen to start the fire
01:19the smell drifting from my parents' room was thick and nauseating
01:23my mother lay on the tangled bedding, naked and still
01:27staring straight up at the ceiling
01:29someone who didn't know better would have thought she was dead
01:36Brett would never let anyone see what he did to her in there
01:41I drew hot water from the basin
01:43mixed it carefully with cold until the temperature was right
01:47then worked a rough cloth through it and gently cleaned her body
01:50the moment I touched the bruising on her inner thighs
01:53she seemed to snap awake
01:55she screamed and curled into herself and wouldn't let me near her
02:00her screaming carried through the walls
02:02I pressed my hands together, frantic, trying to signal her
02:05don't, don't, if you keep screaming he'll come back
02:09from the yard came the steady rhythm of an axe splitting wood
02:13one strike after another
02:17my mother went silent immediately
02:20the front gate creaked open
02:22it was Mrs. Harrow from next door
02:25Brett, how's Clara doing?
02:30he gave a sad little laugh
02:32she's having one of her days
02:33wanted to wash her up and she threw a fit
02:35Mrs. Harrow sighed
02:37you really have it hard, you know that?
02:39then she asked what he was building
02:41his voice came back, slow and simple
02:44she won't sit stilly for a bath
02:45so I'm making her a special chair
02:47makes it easier on both of us
02:48Brett, you are something else
02:50that woman is lucky to have you
02:52shame she doesn't understand it
02:54inside the room
02:55my mother and I both went cold at the same time
02:58it wasn't a regular chair
03:00the armrests in the back were fitted with locking clamps
03:03we had several things like that in the house
03:05Brett called them gifts he made for her
03:07he kept them in the back room
03:09a bench with restraints, he said
03:10to make it easier for her to use the toilet
03:12a wooden rocking horse
03:14a swing, he said to lift her spirits
03:16the whole pack thought he was devoted
03:17building things for a mate who couldn't even appreciate it
03:20only I knew what those things were for
03:22on the nights Brett came home drunk
03:24I would crawl to the doorway
03:25and watch through the dark
03:26he would strip her bare
03:28and strap her to the wooden horse
03:29then beat her thighs with a cane
03:31until the skin split
03:32she would shake and sweat and cry in silence
03:35because her mouth was always stuffed full of something
03:37so no sound could get out
03:38he would laugh while he did it
03:40who would believe it?
03:41the highborn princess
03:43on all fours like a dog for me
03:45I used to think he must be as broken as she was
03:50how could my mother have anything to do with a highborn princess?
03:56in the daylight he was a different man
03:59patient, humble, well liked for miles in every direction
04:02he kept her clean
04:03he chopped extra wood
04:05and walked farther to sell it
04:06just so we could eat
04:07the pack said she had earned good fortune
04:09in a past life to have a mate like him
04:11I knew from early on that Brett was not good enough for my mother
04:14she was soft and warm
04:16and something in the way she held herself
04:17had always felt like it belonged somewhere else
04:19somewhere finer
04:20when she wasn't lost in her own mind
04:22her face was so calm and beautiful
04:23it hurt to look at
04:24I always wanted to get closer
04:26Brett I hated with everything in me
04:29the yellow teeth
04:30the way he nodded her neck like an animal
04:33as I got older I saw his two faces more clearly
04:37what he did to her he did to me too in his own way
04:40I had no bed
04:42I slept on the flower sacks
04:44he told the pack
04:45I was afraid of the dark
04:47and had to sleep curled at my parents feet
04:49he said he went without food so we could eat
04:51but I caught him alone in the back room more than once
04:54working through a roasted chicken and a cup of ale
04:56he didn't seem to care that I saw
04:58he'd grab me by the hair
04:59and put his face close to mine he'd say
05:02say one word and I'll break your legs
05:06with his clean reputation
05:08even if he hit me once in a while
05:10people would take his side
05:11they'd say I was the difficult one
05:13that the two of us were a weight he carried
05:16so he kept doing it
05:17nothing to fear
05:18when I was older
05:20I started to notice things that didn't add up
05:22Brett barely scraped by selling firewood
05:25so where was the money coming from
05:27for all his private meals and drink
05:28then one night
05:30I climbed the crooked tree in the backyard
05:32and finally saw what he'd been hiding
05:35he crept out of the house
05:36and dug up a wooden box from the base of the wall
05:40in the moonlight I could see the gold inside it
05:46he lifted a coin
05:47turned it over in his palm
05:49and then tucked it away and buried the box again
05:52like it had never moved
05:54I was stunned
05:55a bundle of firewood was worth almost nothing
05:58when did Brett ever saved up that much gold coins
06:01the next day
06:02the moment he left for town
06:03I dug up the box and brought it inside
06:08mom we have money
06:10I can get us out of here right now
06:11my mother saw the box and froze
06:13her pupils went small
06:14her whole body locked up
06:16I grabbed her arm
06:17come on
06:18we have to go before he gets back
06:20she gave me a sharp look
06:21and for just a moment
06:23I thought she was really seeing me
06:24then she snapped back
06:26she laughed and knocked the box out of my hands
06:29and gold coins scattered across the floor
06:31while I scrambled to collect them
06:33she picked up the box and started turning it over
06:35found a hidden latch
06:36and out slid a small pendant
06:38pack pressed
06:39old design
06:40the markings intricate and worn
06:42she pressed it to her cheek
06:44and rocked back and forth
06:45making soft sounds
06:46I felt something twist hard in my chest
06:49she recognized it
06:50I eased it out of her hands
06:52and looked it over carefully
06:53then the gate rattled
06:55my heart stopped
06:56I shoved the coins back into the box
06:58and kicked it under the bed
07:00Aria?
07:00you and your mother okay in there?
07:04it was Mrs. Harrow
07:06we're fine
07:07she knocked over a bowl
07:08I cleaned it up
07:09I kept my voice steady
07:12I waited until I heard her footsteps move away
07:15then I grabbed what I could
07:16and hauled my mother toward the door
07:18but when I pushed the gate open
07:19Mrs. Harrow was right there
07:21so were three other women from the pack
07:23she hadn't left at all
07:25where do you think you're taking her Aria?
07:27just for some air
07:29down by the creek
07:31they closed in
07:33you're too young to be out alone with her
07:34wait for your father
07:36go back inside
07:36my stomach dropped
07:39my mother had no idea what was happening
07:41she stood there playing with a wild flower
07:44laughing quietly to herself
07:45I turned us around
07:48behind me I heard them whispering
07:51no wonder Brett worries
07:52stepping out for an hour
07:54and this girl nearly runs off with the poor woman
07:56he's lucky he asked us to keep watch
07:58those two are nothing but trouble for him
08:01he had set watchers on us
08:02we couldn't get out
08:03when he came back
08:04his face was iron
08:05he went to the yard first to check the box
08:08I had buried it exactly where it was
08:10he came inside
08:11he locked the doors and the windows
08:13and dragged out the chair from the back room
08:15doesn't matter whose idea it was
08:17you don't listen
08:18there are consequences
08:20he patted my cheek
08:21don't worry
08:22I won't mark you
08:23can't have the pack asking questions
08:25then he grabbed my mother by the hair
08:28stuffed something in her mouth
08:29and strapped her into that chair
08:35her legs were forced apart
08:36he pulled down her clothes in front of me
08:38and beat her thighs with a cane
08:39she was shaking
08:39sweat running down her face
08:41tears she couldn't wipe away
08:42I threw myself at his legs
08:44stop
08:45please
08:46I'll never do it again
08:48he shook me off
08:49I hit the floor
08:50and tried to press my head down
08:52try anything else
08:53and she pays for it
08:55if she doesn't survive it
08:57that's on you
08:58he caught my arm before I could
09:00every time you hurt yourself
09:03she gets another strike
09:05go ahead
09:06try it
09:08I went completely still
09:11that night
09:12I lay in the back room
09:13with my hands over my ears
09:15and cried until the flower sacks
09:16were soaked
09:18Brett kept us locked in
09:20for seven days
09:20when he was finally sure
09:22my mother was no different
09:23than before
09:23he took me out with him
09:25Brett
09:25bringing your girl along today
09:27he put on his tired
09:28long-suffering face
09:29she's getting older
09:30living around her mother like this
09:32what's she gonna learn
09:33I want to get her set up
09:34with something useful
09:35isn't that thoughtful
09:37Arya's lucky to have a father like you
09:39I kept my eyes on the ground
09:40he was going to sell me
09:42he wanted me far away
09:43so I couldn't try to run again
09:44in Wolftown
09:45he handed me to a black market dealer
09:47he told the man to sell me
09:48as far away as possible
09:49lots of demands
09:50didn't leave a single coin extra
09:52cheap bastard
09:54so they weren't friends
09:56that was useful
09:58I know how to get you twice the price
10:00I sketched a design
10:01on a scrap of paper
10:02sell me to someone
10:04with this crest on their coat
10:06their vehicles
10:07their estate gates
10:09you'll get double the standard rate
10:11guaranteed
10:14what is that?
10:17I made up a story on the spot
10:19I found an injured Alpha's son
10:21in the woods once
10:24his pendant had this crest
10:27he told me he'd repay
10:28whoever helped him
10:31why didn't your father mention this?
10:33if my father knew
10:34would you be involved at all?
10:35he hits me every day
10:37I'm not giving him the satisfaction
10:38the dealer turned it over in his mind
10:40then shrugged
10:41fine
10:41I'm heading north anyway
10:43I'll take the gamble
10:45but if you've lied to me
10:46you've got my life in your hands
10:47I'm not stupid enough to lie
10:49so we travelled north
10:51one by one
10:51the other children with us were sold
10:53we kept moving
10:54we finally reached
10:55where the Alpha King lived
10:56I still hadn't seen the crest anywhere
10:58the dealer was watching me
11:00with darker and darker eyes
11:02I was starting to doubt myself
11:03then a convoy swept through the road ahead of us
11:06and nearly upended a stall at the roadside
11:08the dealer cursed the dust out of his mouth
11:10looked up
11:10and saw me staring at the vehicles
11:12with everything I had
11:13there
11:13finally
11:14there it was
11:15those vehicles were covered
11:17in the exact crest
11:18I had memorized
11:19and drawn from the pendant
11:20you're sure that's the one?
11:21the pack you saved someone from?
11:23we just walked into the territory
11:24of rogue Alpha Riker
11:25I stepped straight into the road
11:27and planted myself
11:28in front of the lead vehicle
11:29the driver hadn't seen me coming
11:31the whole convoy
11:31lodged to a stop
11:32he yelled at me
11:33a guard grabbed me by the collar
11:34and swung me toward me
11:35Rogue Alpha
11:36I have something that belongs to you
11:39silence from inside
11:43years ago
11:44the pureblood daughter
11:45of the Shen Pack
11:46was taken by rogues
11:47they searched everywhere
11:49and found nothing
11:50Riker never stopped looking
11:51he had worn the matching
11:53half of the pendant
11:54on his belt
11:54every single day
11:55waiting for the moment
11:57he could use it
11:58to find his sister
12:07get the horses
12:08we ride for the border pack
12:10now
12:13hold on
12:15hooves mammered the road
12:17wind screamed
12:18past my ears
12:20mom
12:21wait a little longer
12:23I'm coming
12:25three days
12:26no real sleep
12:27we finally reached
12:29the outskirts
12:29of the border pack
12:30where I'd grown up
12:31Riker had the horses
12:33hidden in the tree line
12:34he took a small unit
12:36of enforcers
12:36and followed me on foot
12:37through the edge
12:38of the settlement
12:40it was dusk
12:43cooking smoke
12:44drifted up
12:45from the houses
12:48everything looked quiet
12:51nobody knew
12:52what was about
12:53to hit them
12:54our house was at
12:55the far eastern edge
12:56from a distance
12:57I could already see
12:58Brett sitting in the yard
12:59splitting wood
13:00humming something tuneless
13:01that easy
13:02humble look on his face
13:04nothing like the thing
13:04he became at night
13:05I dug my nails
13:07into my palm
13:07the hatred came up
13:09slow and thick
13:13do we move?
13:14the lead enforcer
13:15asked quietly
13:16Ryurga's eyes
13:17were cold
13:18check on Clara
13:19first
13:21we circled around
13:22to the back
13:22of the yard
13:23and looked over
13:24the low fence
13:26my mother was sitting
13:27on the doorstep
13:27with a wildflower
13:28in her hand
13:29smiling at nothing
13:30her hair was loose
13:32and tangled
13:32her clothes
13:33were patched
13:34all over
13:35even so
13:37there was something
13:38in the way
13:38she held herself
13:39that none of it
13:40could touch
13:40Brett finished
13:41with the wood
13:42and walked over
13:43to her
13:43he brushed a hand
13:44over her hair
13:45soft and easy
13:46Clara
13:47hungry?
13:48I'll get dinner started
13:51anyone watching
13:52would have called him
13:52a good man
13:53I knew exactly
13:54what lived
13:55behind that voice
13:55sure enough
13:56my mother flinched
13:57away from his hand
13:58fear flashed
13:59through her eyes
14:00quick as a spark
14:01Brett's face
14:02went flat
14:02he caught himself
14:03aware the neighbors
14:04might be watching
14:05and turned back
14:05toward the house
14:06without a word
14:07Ryurga's voice
14:08was ice
14:08take him
14:09the enforcers
14:10went over the fence
14:11like water
14:12Brett didn't have
14:12time to react
14:13they had him
14:14pinned to the ground
14:15before he could shout
14:16he struggled
14:17and yelled
14:18who are you?
14:19get off me!
14:21you've got the wrong house!
14:22Ryurga walked
14:23into the yard
14:23and looked down
14:24at him
14:25he didn't bother
14:26hiding what was
14:26in his eyes
14:31Brett
14:33do you know
14:33who I am?
14:42Brett blinked
14:43up at him
14:44then his eyes
14:44caught the half
14:45pendant
14:45on Ryurga's belt
14:46and his face
14:47went white
14:48I don't know you
14:50you've got
14:50the wrong guy
14:55you tortured
14:56my mother
14:57for over a decade
14:58and now you want
14:59to say wrong man?
15:00my mother startled
15:00at the noise
15:01the flower fell
15:02from her hand
15:02she looked
15:03between us
15:03confused
15:04then her eyes
15:05landed on Ryurga's face
15:06her lips moved
15:08Clara
15:08she made a small
15:09broken sound
15:10Ryurga crossed
15:11the yard fast
15:12and crouched
15:13in front of her
15:14his voice cracked
15:15it's me
15:16it's Ryuk
15:17your brother
15:17I'm here to take you home
15:19she stared at him
15:20for a long time
15:20then two tears
15:21ran down her face
15:22she reached toward him
15:23fingers shaking
15:24and pulled her hand back
15:25like she was afraid
15:26to touch him
15:27in case he disappeared
15:28I paid for Clara
15:29she's mine
15:29what business is it
15:30of yours
15:31what I do with her
15:31Brett saw it all
15:32and knew it was over
15:33he still pushed
15:36paid for her
15:45she is the pure blood
15:46daughter of the Shen pack
15:48you think coin
15:49changes that?
15:51you know where
15:51that money came from?
15:53rogue raids
15:55trafficking
15:56that's your coin
15:57here is what
15:59actually happened
16:01Brett had known
16:02exactly who my mother
16:03was from the start
16:05he wanted the Shen pack's
16:07wealth
16:07and he wanted her
16:09so he worked
16:10with the rogues
16:11who took her
16:12then he played the part
16:13of the simple woodcutter
16:14who bought a madwoman
16:15for almost nothing
16:17locked her in this
16:18backwater settlement
16:19and told everyone
16:21she'd lost her mind
16:22the coin he buried
16:24part of it
16:25is cut for the rogues
16:26part of it
16:27from selling off
16:28her jewelry
16:29piece by piece
16:31the neighbors
16:32had heard the commotion
16:33they gathered
16:34at the fence
16:36mrs harrow
16:37and the other women
16:38were among them
16:39nobody spoke
16:44then rikers enforcers
16:46dragged out the back room
16:47restraints
16:48the chair with the
16:48locking clamps
16:49the wooden horse
16:50all of it
16:51and set it in the yard
16:53the crowd went silent
16:54then the murmuring started
16:56i never would have thought it
16:57he seemed like such a decent man
16:58no wonder she lost her mind
17:00anyone would
17:01mrs harrow's face
17:02cycled through several colors
17:04she stepped forward
17:05and bowed her head
17:06toward ryok and my mother
17:07i'm sorry
17:07i believed him
17:09i helped him watch them
17:10i owe you both
17:11more than i can say
17:12the other women
17:13who had kept guard
17:14for brett
17:14came forward too
17:15some of them were crying
17:16i watched them
17:17and felt nothing
17:18their gossip
17:19and their blind trust
17:20had been part of the weight
17:21pressing down on us
17:22all those years
17:23an apology
17:24didn't change that
17:29ryker had brett bound
17:30and the back room
17:31cleared out completely
17:32when the enforcers
17:33carried the restraints
17:34into the yard
17:34the crowd made a sound
17:36all at once
17:37everyone staring at brett
17:39with disgust
17:40take him to the capital
17:41pack dungeon
17:41full interrogation
17:43i want him to answer
17:44for every single thing
17:45he's done
17:45ryker's voice was
17:47flat and final
17:47as they dragged brett away
17:48he turned and fixed me
17:50and my mother with a
17:50stare full of poison
17:51i'll come back for you
17:52too
17:52dead or alive
17:54i looked back at him
17:55and didn't blink
17:57good riddance
17:58ryker helped my mother
17:59to her feet
18:00and gently smoothed
18:01back her hair
18:01clara
18:02we're going home
18:04no one is ever
18:05gonna hurt you again
18:06she looked at him
18:07then she broke
18:08she pressed her face
18:09against his shoulder
18:10and sobbed
18:10and through it
18:11she was saying
18:11brother over and over
18:13muffled and raw
18:14i knew in that moment
18:15she was truly back
18:16it wasn't a sudden recovery
18:17it was that seeing
18:18someone who loved her
18:19cracked open everything
18:20she had held locked
18:20inside for over a decade
18:21and all of it came
18:22flooding out at once
18:23ryker had someone
18:24gather the few things
18:25my mother used daily
18:26then he picked her up
18:27and looked at me
18:28aria
18:28let's go
18:29i nodded
18:31i followed him
18:32out of that yard
18:33one step at a time
18:36at the edge of the settlement
18:38i looked back once
18:39the house sat small
18:40and gray in the last
18:41of the light
18:41every bad thing
18:42that had ever happened
18:43to me lived in that house
18:44i was never coming back
18:46but it wasn't over yet
18:47we hadn't gone far
18:48when a message reached
18:49ryer
18:50brett had tried to run
18:51during transport
18:52and been restrained
18:52on the spot
18:53ryker didn't want to
18:54risk anything overnight
18:55he decided to lock brett
18:57in the local pack cells
18:58in the nearest town
18:58and move out in the morning
19:00that night i lay on
19:01an actual bed in the inn
19:02and stared at the ceiling
19:03brett's voice kept
19:04running in my head
19:05i'll come back for you too
19:07i knew what he was
19:08even if the pack court
19:10dealt with him
19:10that wouldn't be enough
19:12not for what he did to her
19:13not for what he did to me
19:15but everything came back
19:16in flashes
19:16every night
19:17every sound from that
19:18back room
19:19just past midnight
19:19i got up quietly
19:20slipped past the enforcers
19:22and walked out of the inn
19:23i remembered the cells
19:24were at the west end of town
19:25i made my way there by memory
19:27staying in the shadows
19:28the streets were empty
19:29a few lanterns swaying
19:34i had a handful of sharp stones
19:36in my sleeve
19:36that i'd picked up on the road
19:37just in case i ran into a patrol
19:39the cell block wasn't heavily guarded
19:41two old pack warriors
19:43were dozing by the front
19:44i held my breath
19:45and worked my way around
19:46to the backyard
19:47low wall there
19:48i climbed it slowly
19:50using the weeds along the base
19:51for footing
19:52and dropped down
19:53on the other side
19:54the yard was still
19:55just leaves moving in the wind
19:57i found brett's cell
19:58from the direction
19:59i'd clocked earlier that day
20:00he was in the last section
20:02curled in the corner
20:03snoring
20:03i pulled out the wire
20:05i'd had since the dealer
20:06lit it from his pack
20:07during the journey north
20:08thinking it might come in useful
20:09turned out i was right
20:11i worked it into the lock
20:12carefully and turned it slow
20:14a soft click
20:15the door swung open
20:16i pushed it just enough
20:18to get through
20:19brett stirred
20:20his eyes opened
20:24he looked at me
20:25first confused
20:26then a slow grin
20:27spread across his face
20:29well
20:30are you here to break me out
20:31or finish me off
20:32finish you off
20:33i said it without feeling anything
20:35the grin stopped
20:36his eyes went uncertain
20:37you wouldn't dare
20:38i'm your father
20:40you were never a father
20:42i didn't raise my voice
20:43you remember
20:45what you did to her
20:46what you did to me
20:47every night of it
20:48i pulled out the knife
20:50i'd lifted it off
20:51one of riker's enforcers
20:52during the afternoon
20:53when he was reorganizing
20:54his gear and wasn't
20:55watching his belt
20:56i'd seen it
20:57and made my decision
20:58right then
20:59today i collect for her
21:01and for myself
21:03brett started backing
21:04towards the corner
21:05he was begging
21:07aria
21:07i'll change
21:08i swear it
21:10just let me walk
21:11let she walk
21:11i thought of her bruises
21:13i thought of the flower sacks
21:15i thought of every locked door
21:17every stuffed scream
21:19and every night
21:20i spent with my hands
21:22over my ears
21:24did you ever think
21:25about letting her go
21:28i didn't stop walking
21:29toward him
21:34he lunged for the knife
21:37i was ready
21:38i stepped aside
21:39and drove the blade
21:40into his chest
21:41with everything i had
21:45brett's eyes went wide
21:46he looked at me like he still
21:48couldn't believe it
21:49blood came up into his mouth
21:50he got out one sentence
21:52you
21:54you'll regret this
21:56then he went down
21:57and didn't move again
21:59i looked at the blood on my hands
22:01no fear
22:02just a stillness
22:04i hadn't felt in years
22:05it was done
22:06i wiped the blade
22:08tucked it away
22:09and slipped back out of the cell
22:14back through the yard
22:15back to the inn
22:16before first light
22:18i lay down on the bed
22:20and stared at the ceiling again
22:22sleep didn't come
22:23the image of it kept repeating in my head
22:26i didn't regret it
22:27not once
22:30he had destroyed her life
22:31and taken my childhood
22:32and he had never lost
22:33a single night's sleep over it
22:35he deserved what he got
22:37by morning brett's body
22:38had been found
22:39word moved fast
22:41through the town
22:42some said he took his own life
22:44out of guilt
22:45others said a rival
22:46had settled a score
22:52reicher ordered an investigation
22:55the cell had left nothing behind
22:58and with my mother
22:59needing urgent care
23:00he didn't press it long
23:03he had brett's body
23:05disposed of in the creek
23:06at the edge of the old settlement
23:09the pack members there found it
23:11and assumed he'd brought it on himself
23:12they stood by the water
23:14and cursed him
23:14said he'd gotten what came to a man
23:16who treated his maid that way
23:19none of them knew it was me
23:20who had actually done it
23:23the girl he had treated
23:24like something that didn't matter
23:28we rode north
23:29toward the capital pack
23:33my mother leaned against reicher
23:35for most of the journey
23:36but she was clearer now
23:39occasionally she surfaced
23:41and said a few words to us
23:43reicher said he had the best
23:45pack healers waiting
23:46he would get her well
23:48he promised it
23:52I sat by the window
23:53and watched the landscape change
23:57I had come such a long way
23:59from that border settlement
24:01from everything that had happened there
24:04I knew our lives were about to become
24:06something completely different
24:10but the damage that had been done
24:12didn't just disappear
24:14you carry it
24:16you learn to carry it differently
24:22a few days later
24:23we reached the capital pack
24:27reicher's estate was large
24:29and well fortified
24:30nothing like the crumpling house
24:32I had grown up in
24:34my mother took it all in
24:36with wide
24:36uncertain eyes
24:40the space seemed to confuse her
24:46Ryuk put us in the best suite
24:47in the east wing
24:49it had a small garden
24:50and pond
24:55he sent for the pack healer
24:56immediately
24:57the healer examined my mother
24:59and shook his head
25:02alpha rider
25:03she has sustained
25:05serious psychological trauma
25:06over a long period
25:07prolonged fear
25:09and abuse
25:09recovery is possible
25:11but it will take time
25:12you cannot rush it
25:14reicher told him
25:16to spare nothing
25:18he arranged daily treatment
25:20had someone tend to her meals
25:23personally
25:24kept her routine
25:26as calm
25:27and consistent
25:27as possible
25:32I had my own room
25:34soft clothes
25:36food I had never seen before
25:39I still couldn't fully relax
25:41it felt like a dream
25:43I might wake up from
25:44and find myself back
25:45on the flower sacks
25:46Ryker noticed
25:48he made time for me
25:49he told me about my mother
25:51when she was young
25:51said she had been bright
25:52and full of life
25:53talented at everything
25:54she put her hands to
25:55well known across the capital
25:56for it
25:57her name Clara
25:58he said
25:58was meant to mean
25:59something clear
26:00and untroubled
26:00a life without hardship
26:02then things went
26:03the way they went
26:03Aria
26:04he said
26:05resting a hand on my head
26:06his voice was gentle
26:07this is your home now
26:09I'm your uncle
26:10and nobody is going to hurt you
26:11or your mother again
26:12whatever you want to learn
26:13I'll find you the best teacher for it
26:14I looked at him
26:15he meant every word
26:16I had never had that before
26:18someone who meant it
26:23I said
26:24I want to learn to read
26:25and I want to learn to fight
26:27so I can protect her
26:31done
26:33he smiled
26:35I'll have a teacher here tomorrow
26:36the days passed
26:38my mother got better slowly
26:40she was lucid for longer stretches
26:42she started to remember things
26:44one afternoon
26:45she looked at the flowers
26:46in the garden
26:47and said quietly
26:47we had flowers like these at home
26:50my mother planted them
26:52I went still for a moment
26:53then cried
26:54it was the first time
26:56she had clearly reached back
26:58into her past
26:58and found something real
27:00Riker heard about it
27:01and had flowers
27:02brought from the old
27:04Shen family home
27:05and replanted in the garden
27:06I threw myself into learning
27:08up before light to study
27:10practicing by lamp
27:11after dark
27:12I knew that being strong
27:13was the only way
27:14to never be at someone else's mercy again
27:16then
27:17just as things were starting to settle
27:19bad news came in from the capital
27:25someone had filed a formal complaint
27:27Riker had abused his authority
27:28by privately imprisoning a pack member
27:30and had mobilized enforcers
27:32for personal matters
27:32the Alpha King was furious
27:34he ordered a full investigation
27:36it was the work of Slade
27:38a senior pack official
27:39who had been looking for a way
27:41to bring Rigen down for years
27:43the two had always been enemies
27:46Slade had seized on the Brett situation
27:48and shaped it into a weapon
27:50Riker was summoned before the Alpha King
27:53and dressed down in front of the court
27:55the Alpha King didn't strip him of everything
27:58his past record carried weight
28:00but Riker lost a portion
28:01of his command authority
28:02and was ordered to stand down
28:04while the investigation continued
28:06the atmosphere in the estate shifted
28:09immediately
28:10pack members who had been warm to us
28:13cooled off
28:14some of the staff got lazy
28:16stopped looking after my mother
28:18as carefully as they had before
28:20I watched Riker
28:22wearing down under the pressure
28:23and didn't know how to help him
28:25my mother felt the change in the house too
28:28her episodes came back
28:31she would shout
28:32that people were coming for her
28:36I stayed with my mother around the clock
28:39keeping her calm
28:40it's okay
28:41I'm right here
28:42nobody is getting to you
28:43I held her close
28:45and kept my voice steady
28:46she shook in my arms
28:48and kept whispering
28:49they're coming
28:50they're going to take me
28:51I rubbed her back
28:53and let the tears run
28:54without wiping them
28:55I made myself a quiet promise
28:58I would find a way to help Riken
29:00I was not going to let Slade win
29:02then it hit me
29:04the wooden box
29:05from Brett's hiding spot
29:06under the wall
29:07there had been letters in it
29:08not just coin and the pendant
29:10letters
29:11I had been too focused on running
29:12to read them properly
29:13but now I thought
29:14those letters recorded
29:15Brett's dealings with the rogues
29:17and if Slade was connected
29:18to any of it
29:19they might be the thread
29:20that unraveled him
29:23I told Riker
29:26his expression shifted
29:29he sent a unit back
29:30to the border settlement
29:31that same day
29:37the letters came back
29:39and they were exactly
29:40what we needed
29:41Brett had kept
29:42detailed records
29:43his arrangement
29:44with the rogues
29:45his correspondence
29:46with people working
29:47under Slade
29:48trafficking
29:48extortion
29:49payments
29:51the rogues
29:52who had taken my mother
29:54had been operating
29:55under Slade's protection
29:56the whole time
29:59Slade used them
30:00to take the family members
30:01of officials
30:02who wouldn't cooperate
30:03then held those people
30:04as leverage
30:08Riker brought everything
30:09before the Alpha King
30:10in person
30:11he laid out the full picture
30:13and named Slade
30:14for what he was
30:17the Alpha King
30:18read through the letters
30:19and understood
30:20he had been wrong
30:21about Riker
30:22he reinstated Riker's
30:24full command
30:25on the spot
30:26and ordered Slade
30:27and everyone connected
30:28to him brought in
30:30every person
30:31who had worked
30:32to bring Riker down
30:33got what they deserved
30:36the crisis
30:37was finished
30:38the estate
30:40went quiet again
30:41in the best way
30:46my mother
30:47continued to improve
30:48she could hold
30:49a full conversation
30:50now
30:51most of her memory
30:52was back
30:53one afternoon
30:54she took my hand
30:55and said
30:57Aria
30:57thank you
30:59without you
31:00I would have stayed
31:00in that place forever
31:02and never found
31:03my way out
31:04I shook my head
31:05my throat was tight
31:07mom
31:08I should be
31:09thanking you
31:09you protected me
31:11just by still being there
31:12you gave me a reason
31:13to keep going
31:14Riker walked over
31:15and looked at us both
31:16with something quiet
31:17and satisfied
31:17in his face
31:18Clara
31:19Aria
31:20this family
31:20stays together
31:21from here on out
31:22I looked at the two of them
31:23and felt the warmth
31:24of it settle in my chest
31:25the dark days
31:27were behind us
31:27whatever came next
31:29we would face it together
31:30Riker gave me a new name
31:32Aria Shen
31:33he said he wanted me
31:34to carry the past
31:35with me
31:36not as a wound
31:36but as something
31:37that had made me
31:38who I was
31:39I liked it
31:40it felt like starting over
31:42it felt like hope
31:46my mother made a full recovery
31:48she picked up everything
31:49she had loved before
31:50music
31:51painting
31:52writing
31:53she filled her days
31:54and was happy
31:55she taught me too
31:56said a woman needed
31:57her own strength
31:58and her own voice
31:59not just someone else
32:00to rely on
32:00I didn't slow down either
32:02beyond my studies
32:03I trained with the
32:04estate's combat instructor
32:06every day
32:06I knew that real protection
32:08came from real ability
32:11the instructor saw
32:12I was serious
32:13and pushed me hard
32:14I got good fast
32:15in quieter moments
32:17my mother told me more
32:19about what had happened
32:20she said the rogues
32:21had taken her
32:22because Slade wanted
32:23to force my grandfather
32:24into surrendering
32:25his command authority
32:26over the pack
32:27my grandfather refused
32:28so Slade took her
32:30as a threat
32:30my grandfather
32:31had protected the family
32:33and kept searching
32:33for her in secret
32:34all those years
32:36when he found out
32:38I was safe
32:38he couldn't sleep
32:39for days
32:40she smiled
32:41but her eyes
32:42were wet
32:44he's old now
32:45and not well
32:46he can't make the trip
32:48to the capital
32:48when things settle
32:49we'll all go to him
32:52I nodded
32:53I had never met him
32:54but I already felt
32:55something for him
32:56a man who had spent years
32:59quietly looking
33:00and never stopped
33:04time passed
33:05I grew up
33:06alpha hairs
33:08and high-ranking sons
33:09from across the capital
33:10made their interest known
33:11I turned them all down
33:12I could see
33:13what most of them
33:14were after
33:15Riker's standing
33:16the Shen name
33:17not me
33:18Riker understood
33:19without me having
33:20to explain
33:21he said
33:23Arya
33:25I'm not looking
33:26for a powerful match
33:27for you
33:28I just want you
33:29to find someone
33:30who's genuinely
33:30in your corner
33:33whatever you decide
33:34I'm behind you
33:37I was grateful
33:38every time
33:39he said something
33:40like that
33:41having him
33:42was the luckiest thing
33:43that had ever
33:43happened to me
33:44then Riker
33:45brought me
33:46and my mother
33:46to a formal gathering
33:47at the royal estate
33:48that was where
33:50I met Prince Caden
33:51he was the alpha king's
33:52younger brother
33:53known for being fair
33:55capable
33:56and well respected
33:57across the pack hierarchy
33:58when he saw me
34:00he didn't look at me
34:01the way most men did
34:03no calculation in it
34:05he just greeted me
34:06and asked how I was doing
34:08we talked for a while
34:10he was sharp
34:11and he actually cared
34:12about the lower ranked
34:13wolves in the pack
34:15when he heard a little
34:16of what my mother
34:17and I had been through
34:18he said simply
34:20if you ever need help
34:21come find me
34:28after that
34:29Prince Caden
34:30came by Riker's estate
34:31regularly
34:31sometimes to talk
34:33strategy with Riker
34:34sometimes just to sit
34:35with me and my mother
34:36and spend time
34:36he was always respectful
34:38never pushed anything
34:39it was the first time
34:40I had been around a man
34:41and felt completely at ease
34:43I started to like him
34:44then I started to feel
34:46guilty about liking him
34:48I was the daughter
34:49of a criminal
34:49what Brett had done
34:50wasn't my fault
34:51but I was still
34:52his daughter
34:53and I had that past
34:55all of it
34:57my mother saw
34:58what was happening
35:00she took my hand
35:05Aria
35:07none of what happened
35:08to you is your fault
35:09you are brave
35:11and you are good
35:12and you deserve
35:13someone who sees that
35:16Prince Caden
35:17is a good man
35:20if you feel something
35:21for him
35:22don't talk yourself
35:22out of it
35:24Riker said the same
35:26I trust your instincts
35:28he's the kind of man
35:29you can count on
35:31if you want this
35:33I'll stand behind you
35:36with the two of them
35:38backing me
35:38I finally said
35:40what I felt out loud
35:44Prince Caden smiled
35:45when I told him
35:46he took my hand
35:48Aria
35:49I've known for a while
35:51I love how strong
35:52you are
35:52I love how kind
35:54you are
35:54I don't care about
35:55your past
35:56I want to spend
35:57the rest of my life
35:58with you
36:00the Alpha King
36:01gave his blessing
36:04the ceremony
36:05was held
36:06at Riker's estate
36:07and the whole place
36:08was lit up
36:09and loud
36:09with celebration
36:12I sat in the carriage
36:14on the way
36:14to my new home
36:16and felt something
36:18I hadn't felt
36:19in a very long time
36:24uncomplicated happiness
36:26Caden treated me well
36:27every single day
36:28after that
36:29he never brought up
36:30my past
36:31and he didn't allow
36:32anyone else to either
36:34he was good to my mother too
36:36he spent time with her
36:37walked with her
36:38made her feel like
36:39she had gained a son
36:41my mother's health
36:43stayed strong
36:44she started visiting
36:46the local pack temple
36:47regularly
36:49lighting candles
36:50for everyone
36:50she loved
36:52she also used
36:53her own savings
36:54to open a shelter
36:55for orphaned girls
36:56in the capital
36:58a place where they
36:59could learn
36:59and eat
37:00and be safe
37:01so they wouldn't
37:02have to grow up
37:03the way I did
37:04I stayed busy
37:05alongside her
37:06I followed Caden's lead
37:08in paying attention
37:08to the lower ranked wolves
37:10helping where we could
37:11and I used
37:12what I had learned
37:13in training
37:13to watch over
37:14the girls in the shelter
37:15and make sure
37:16no one came near them
37:17with bad intentions
37:22one day
37:23a letter arrived
37:24from the old
37:24border settlement
37:26it was from
37:26Mrs. Harrow
37:28she said
37:28everyone there
37:29now knew
37:29the full truth
37:30about Brett
37:31they knew
37:32what had been done
37:33to me and my mother
37:34she said
37:35people were ashamed
37:36they hadn't seen it
37:36and hadn't helped
37:37she said the settlement
37:38had a lot of respect
37:39for us now
37:40and hoped we might
37:41visit someday
37:42I held the letter
37:43and sat with it
37:44for a while
37:44they had finally understood
37:46I didn't go back
37:47the hurt ran too deep
37:49and I had no desire
37:50to walk back
37:50into those memories
37:51but I wrote her a reply
37:53I told her that my mother
37:54and I were well
37:55that I had forgiven
37:56the people there
37:57that I hoped
37:58they would live clearly
37:59from now on
37:59and not be fooled
38:00by appearances again
38:02years went by
38:04Caden and I
38:04had a daughter
38:05we named her Nora
38:06we wanted her
38:08to have a life
38:08that was steady
38:09and safe
38:11my mother lit up
38:12every time she saw
38:13her granddaughter
38:13Raika was still
38:15protecting the pack's borders
38:18I thought about
38:19the border settlement
38:20sometimes
38:21about Brett
38:22and what he had done
38:24there was still
38:25a thread of anger
38:26when I did
38:27but mostly what I felt
38:29was release
38:30the suffering
38:31had made me harder
38:32in the places
38:33that needed to be hard
38:36I was grateful
38:37for the life
38:38I had now
38:38because I knew
38:39exactly what
38:40the other kind
38:40looked like
38:42the secret
38:43of what I had done
38:44to Brett
38:44would stay buried
38:45in me forever
38:47I didn't regret it
38:49it was the right ending
38:50for the life
38:51he had chosen to live
38:52from here forward
38:54all I wanted
38:54was this
38:55my mother
38:56Riker
38:57Caden
38:58Nora
38:58all of us together
39:00the past
39:01sealed away
39:02where it belonged
39:05bring light
39:06in the courtyard
39:06warm and clear
39:08my mother sat
39:09in the garden
39:10teaching Noah
39:10a song
39:11the melody
39:12drifting out
39:12across the yard
39:13Caden stood beside me
39:15and held my hand
39:17look at all of this
39:18I looked
39:19I smiled
39:20I know
39:21everything that had
39:23broken us
39:23had turned into
39:24something else
39:24in the end
39:26fuel
39:27armor
39:28foundation
39:31as long as we moved
39:32forward with good hearts
39:33we would be fine
39:34I believe that
39:36few more years passed
39:37Nora grew up steady
39:38and bright
39:39with Caden's calm
39:40and my stubbornness
39:40in equal measure
39:41she loved sitting
39:42with my mother
39:43and asking for stories
39:44my mother gave her
39:45the good ones
39:46the old Shen family home
39:47the history of the pack
39:49things that made Nora
39:50laugh or ask questions
39:52she never told her
39:53about the border settlement
39:55I understood why
39:56she wanted Nora
39:57to grow up inside
39:58something clean
40:01that autumn
40:02Riker came back
40:03to the capital
40:04from the front
40:05with news
40:08the rogue threat
40:10at the border
40:10had been broken
40:11the territory
40:12was secure
40:13families out there
40:14could finally stop
40:15looking over their
40:16shoulders
40:16the Alpha King
40:18held a formal
40:19celebration
40:19and Caden's
40:21household was invited
40:22at the gathering
40:23the Alpha King
40:24looked at me
40:24and Caden
40:25and then at Nora
40:26beside us
40:27and said to Raya
40:28your niece has built
40:30herself quite a life
40:32good mate
40:33good family
40:34good daughter
40:35Rike said
40:37she did it herself
40:39Caden just had
40:40the good sense
40:41to recognize it
40:42Caden squeezed
40:44my hand
40:45having Arya
40:46is the lucky part
40:47that's all mine
40:49later in the evening
40:50an older council member
40:51brought up Slade's case
40:54a lot of good families
40:55had been hurt
40:56by that man
40:58and it was a relief
40:59that at Arya Shin
41:00had come through it
41:01everyone looked at me
41:02I stood and raised
41:04my glass
41:08the pain was real
41:10but it taught me
41:11that justice
41:12takes its time
41:13and then it arrives
41:13we have peace now
41:15and the people
41:16I love are safe
41:17that is everything
41:19the room responded
41:21warmly
41:21the alpha king
41:22nodded
41:23I had learned
41:24to wear what had
41:25happened to me
41:25as strength
41:26instead of shame
41:30we went back
41:31to Riker's estate
41:32after the gathering
41:32all of us together
41:34late that night
41:35my mother and I
41:36sat in the garden
41:37looking at the flowers
41:39she was quiet
41:40for a long time
41:41then she said
41:43Arya
41:44Brett wasn't always
41:46the way he became
41:47I looked at her
41:48we had never spoken
41:49his name
41:50I had assumed
41:51she had put him
41:52behind her completely
41:53when I first arrived
41:54at that settlement
41:55he was just
41:56an ordinary man
41:58not kind
41:58but not what he
41:59turned into either
42:00her eyes went
42:02somewhere distant
42:02the rogues came
42:04back for him later
42:05threatened to kill
42:06everyone he knew
42:07if he let me go
42:08he was weak by nature
42:09and greedy on top of it
42:11he just kept choosing
42:12wrong until there was
42:13nothing decent
42:14left in him
42:14I sat with that
42:15I still hated
42:17what Brett had done
42:18every bit of it
42:19but what my mother said
42:21reminded me that
42:22people make choices
42:23and then more choices
42:24and eventually
42:25there's nothing left
42:26of whoever they
42:27started as
42:29that still doesn't
42:30make any of it
42:31acceptable
42:31I said
42:32no
42:33she nodded
42:34and held my hand
42:36it doesn't
42:37I'm not defending him
42:38I just don't want you
42:40carrying the weight
42:41of it anymore
42:41you killed him
42:42to protect us
42:43I have never
42:44blamed you for that
42:45put it down
42:46at Aria
42:46we have too much
42:47good in front of us
42:48I felt the tears
42:49before I realized
42:50they were there
42:50all these years
42:51I had thought
42:51I was over it
42:52but there were still
42:53nights when it came back
42:54her words cut through
42:55the last of it
42:56I hear you mom
42:57I held on to her
42:59no more looking back
43:00we just live
43:04she pressed her hand
43:05against my back
43:07yes
43:09we just live
43:11then winter
43:12then winter brought
43:12word from the old
43:13Shen family home
43:14my grandfather
43:15was failing
43:16and wanted to see
43:18us one last time
43:22Rigan arranged
43:23everything immediately
43:24we set out that
43:26same night
43:26all of us together
43:27the Shen family home
43:29sat deep in the
43:30countryside
43:30old stone
43:31and quiet water
43:32and everything
43:33exactly as my mother
43:34had described it
43:35across all those years
43:36of telling me stories
43:37my grandfather was in
43:39bed and very weak
43:40when he saw my mother
43:41walk through the door
43:42something came back
43:43into his eyes
43:44Clara
43:45my Clara
43:47he reached for her hand
43:49and held it and cried
43:50my mother pressed her
43:52face close to his
43:54I'm sorry it took so long
43:56I'm so sorry
43:58you're here
44:00that's all that matters
44:01he looked past her
44:02at me and Cade
44:03and little Nora
44:04this is my granddaughter
44:05and my great-granddaughter
44:08my mother introduced us
44:10I came forward
44:12and knelt by the bed
44:13grandfather
44:14Nora followed
44:16great-grandfather
44:20he smiled
44:22then he looked at Riker
44:23you never stopped looking
44:25I knew you wouldn't
44:27thank you son
44:29Riker's jaw was tight
44:31that's what I was
44:32supposed to do
44:32we stayed for two weeks
44:34he slipped away
44:36quietly near the end
44:40after the funeral
44:41we stayed on
44:41at the old house
44:42for a while
44:42my mother walked
44:43through every room
44:44in every corner
44:45of the garden
44:45remembering
44:46some of it
44:47made her laugh
44:47some of it
44:48made her cry
44:49the day we left
44:50she stood at the
44:51front gate
44:52for a long moment
44:52and then bowed
44:53her head low
44:57I'm going now
44:59I'll come back
44:59and visit
45:01I knew she had
45:02made her peace
45:02with it
45:03all of it
45:04back in the capital
45:05things returned
45:06to their steady rhythm
45:07Nora was in lessons
45:08Caden was busy
45:09with pack matters
45:10I managed the household
45:11and looked after my mother
45:12and made regular visits
45:13to the shelter
45:14one afternoon
45:15a new girl arrived
45:16her name was Petra
45:17something about the way
45:18she held herself
45:19reminded me of my mother
45:20when she was young
45:21in old portraits
45:22I'd seen
45:22Petra had been trafficked
45:24and had gotten out
45:25her family was gone
45:26I saw myself
45:27in the way
45:28she kept her eyes down
45:29I brought her close
45:31taught her to read
45:33taught her to fight
45:34I told her
45:36you are allowed
45:37to be soft
45:38you are not allowed
45:39to be helpless
45:40whatever comes
45:42stand up
45:43protect yourself
45:47Petra was sharp
45:48and she worked hard
45:49she came out of her shell
45:50faster than I expected
45:51the wariness
45:52in her face
45:53started to soften
45:54into something more open
45:55I knew helping her
45:56was also finishing
45:57something for that
45:58younger version of me
45:59who had no one
46:00another decade went by
46:02Nora married a young
46:03enforcer from a good family
46:04steady and honest
46:05they were happy together
46:06Petra became one of
46:07the lead teachers
46:08at the shelter
46:09passing along everything
46:10I had given her
46:10to the next round of girls
46:11who came through the doors
46:12my mother was still strong
46:14she visited the shelter
46:15every week
46:16sometimes teaching music
46:17sometimes just sitting
46:19with the younger ones
46:21Riker had retired
46:22from active duty at last
46:23he bought a place
46:24outside the capital
46:25and was
46:26by all accounts
46:27enjoying doing
46:28almost nothing
46:29that winter
46:30we all gathered
46:30at the estate
46:31for the new year celebration
46:32Nora came with her mate
46:33and their children
46:34Petra brought several
46:35of the shelter girls
46:37the courtyard was
46:38full of noise
46:39and warmth
46:42I looked at all of it
46:43and felt something
46:43settle deep in my chest
46:45the little girl
46:46who used to sleep
46:47on flower sacks
46:48and dream of nothing
46:49bigger than one day
46:49getting her mother out
46:51she could never
46:52have imagined this
46:52the children fell asleep
46:54eventually
46:55the yard went quiet
46:57Caden stood with me
46:59and we watched the lights
47:00going off across the sky
47:02what are you thinking about
47:03he asked
47:04I think about where we'd be
47:06without that pendant
47:07without Riker
47:08he took my hand
47:09no

47:13you would have found
47:14another path

47:17I leaned into him
47:18and let that land
47:19the lights kept bursting
47:20open above us
47:21bright and then gone
47:23and then bright again
47:24the secret of what I had
47:25done to Brett
47:26would stay in me
47:27until the end
47:27but it wasn't a shadow anymore
47:29it was just part of the story
47:30a reminder to hold tight
47:32to what I had
47:33to guard the people around me
47:34that was enough
47:35that was everything
47:37all I wanted
47:38for whatever time remained
