00:20Who exactly is this man who appears so frequently in my dreams?
00:31Oh, my God.
01:15What the?
01:22Hey, kid?
01:26Sire.
01:32Me?
01:33You mean...
01:34You fell into the lake.
01:38What?
01:39No.
01:39I jumped in.
01:41A child was...
01:42You fell.
01:44Quincy pulled you out.
01:47Where am I?
01:49The cave.
01:51Right.
01:53The cave.
01:55Are there adults?
01:57Alpha went hunting.
01:59Who is Alpha?
02:02Matthew.
02:03Your mate.
02:10My what?
02:12Mate.
02:13The kind who joined.
02:19Join?
02:21Him and me?
02:22That's why I was born.
02:26Born from...
02:28Your belly.
02:29All cubs come from their sire.
02:37Men, give birth here?
03:05This isn't my body.
03:07Sire?
03:16What are we to each other, exactly?
03:20You are my sire.
03:22And sire means?
03:24You gave birth to me.
03:27Twenty years single.
03:28Barely touched a woman.
03:30Now I have a son.
03:36One thing at a time.
03:40This...
03:41Alpha...
03:43Matthew...
03:44What is he?
03:45A black panther.
03:47The strongest theremin in the tribe.
03:50Theremin.
03:51That means...
03:53We shift.
03:54Into beasts.
03:56And I'm a...
03:57Lennox.
03:58Silver grey.
04:00Fluffy tail.
04:10A lynx gave birth...
04:12Birth to a panther cub, of course.
04:14Makes perfect sense.
04:28Do you hate me?
04:31No.
04:33The previous owner of this body hurt this child badly.
04:36I won't hurt you.
04:38I swear it.
04:44Where's Matthew now?
04:45Far hunting.
04:47Won't return for many days.
04:48Good.
04:49I can't face a husband right now.
04:51Not when I don't even know this body.
04:56What was I?
04:57Before I fell?
04:59You had a temper.
05:01A bad one?
05:08Right.
05:09Great.
05:10I was a monster.
05:18No wonder the child is so frail.
05:20They probably have eaten a proper meal.
05:25Jaden.
05:26Want to learn to trap?
05:37My grandpa taught me this.
05:39Simple snare.
05:41Step here.
05:43The rope tightens.
05:44Traps the leg.
05:54We check them tomorrow.
05:57You never did this before.
05:59You never did this before.
06:04I'm not him.
06:06Not anymore.
06:08The concept of family had never existed in my life over the past two decades.
06:13But now that I have a child,
06:16this unexpected reality doesn't seem so unpleasant after all.
06:38Two days' food.
06:39We did it.
06:41We did it.
06:42Sire seems to have really changed.
06:45He's never been this gentle with me before.
07:05Maybe having a son isn't so bad.
07:10Sire, thank you.
07:33Zachary, are you feeling better?
07:37You are...
07:40This is Quincy.
07:41He pulled you from the lake.
07:44My sire hit his head.
07:46He cannot remember things.
07:48Should I bring the shaman?
07:49No.
07:49Please.
07:50I feel better.
07:52And...
07:52Thank you for saving me.
07:54In the past, Zachary never thanked anyone.
08:00I brought some fruit.
08:02You and Jaden might need it.
08:06Where did you find these?
08:08The gathering groups go into the forest.
08:11Therians hunt.
08:13Subterians gather greens and fruit.
08:15Can I go next time?
08:18You want to gather?
08:23Then come with us tomorrow.
08:30Did your sire hit you?
08:32No.
08:35Really?
08:37Really.
08:38He cooked for me.
08:41Your scythe cooked?
08:42He made traps, too.
08:45No.
08:46No.
08:50Keep it.
08:51In case he changes back.
08:56I don't think he will.
09:08Mine.
09:20That was not my memory.
09:26Sire?
09:27Nothing.
09:28Go back to sleep.
09:30Hmm.
09:35Does Matthew have golden eyes?
09:37Yes.
09:44Of course he does.
10:04Jaden?
10:07Jaden?
10:09Sire.
10:12Did I scare you?
10:15No.
10:17I was surprised.
10:19You do not like my beast form.
10:24I like it.
10:27You were terrifying for about one second.
10:32And then you were so cute.
10:46Taylor, come eat.
10:49I already ate.
10:58Then this is for your second stomach.
11:07This is so good.
11:10You two have hunting practice today?
11:13Adult Theraids, watch us. I will protect Jayden.
11:17I'm counting on you.
11:28Ready to gather?
11:30Lead the way.
11:48I was popular.
11:52Not exactly.
11:54Why is my cave so far from everyone?
11:59You did not like being around the tribe.
12:02Matthew dug that cave for you near the edge.
12:05He dug me a home and I still made everyone hate me.
12:09Too far. Too rough. Do you expect me to live in a hole?
12:15You said you wanted distance from the tribe.
12:18Then make it better.
12:21These memories are truly heartbreaking.
12:25Quincy!
12:26Wait.
12:28Is Zachary coming with us?
12:32He lost memories after the lake.
12:35Maybe losing them is the best thing that ever happened to him.
12:42Fair.
12:44I'm Elias.
12:45He once threw a stone bowl near my head.
12:48Then I owe you an apology.
12:52That is new.
12:54Go.
12:59A head injury does not make a monster kind.
13:02Maybe not.
13:04But it can make him remember shame.
13:13Zachary.
13:14Come down.
13:16We can share.
13:18No.
13:20I need to learn.
13:34You really changed.
13:37That bad before?
13:38You hit Jaiden.
13:40Insulted Matthew.
13:41Screamed at everyone.
13:43I was a monster.
13:45You are not that today.
13:48Then today has to count.
13:55Usually only winged Therians get those.
13:59Find me a long branch.
14:01Strong.
14:01And vines.
14:04What are you making?
14:05A longer arm.
14:17That looks ugly.
14:22Ugly can work.
14:30It worked.
14:32You try.
14:33Do not yank.
14:34Twist.
14:35Twist.
14:48Can you show us?
14:50No trade.
14:51I will teach you.
14:58He is helping.
15:01He wants people to forget.
15:04He wants people to forget.
15:10They should not forget.
15:15But I can still do better today.
15:18Matthew will not be fooled.
15:22I am not doing this for Matthew.
15:25I am not doing this for Matthew.
15:28So...
15:29What kind of person is my partner really?
15:38Tell me the truth.
15:40What was I like?
15:42Cruel.
15:42Proud.
15:43Always angry.
15:44You hit Jaden.
15:45You threw things.
15:47You made Matthew's cave a place no one wanted to enter.
15:51Was I always like that?
15:54No.
15:55When you first came, you were quiet.
15:57Sad, maybe.
15:59Not cruel.
16:01What changed?
16:04You became Matthew's mate.
16:07Did I want that?
16:13That is a no.
16:14Your alpha's son, Wesley.
16:16He wanted to be your mate.
16:18Wesley?
16:19So...
16:19Then why Matthew?
16:21Your alpha was injured.
16:23Winter was close.
16:24The chief arranged protection.
16:27Survival.
16:28Not romance.
16:30Not choice.
16:32Did Matthew treat me badly?
16:34No.
16:35That made people hate you more.
16:37Matthew deserved someone loyal.
16:42You wanted him.
16:45Everyone knows that.
16:47I hate anyone who hurts him.
16:51Then we agree on one thing.
17:04Being woken up every day by the sound of Jaden scratching my paw has seemingly become a habit of mine.
17:23Do you do that every morning?
17:27Claws must stay ready.
17:31Good.
17:32So must breakfast.
17:44Jaden!
17:45Jaden!
17:46Jaden!
17:47Hunting practice!
17:49Stay with the adults.
17:51Do not chase anything alone.
17:55If something feels wrong, run home.
17:59I protect Jaden.
18:01Good.
18:02Then protect yourself too.
18:04Come back safe.
18:17A runner came from the tribe before sunset.
18:21Jaden?
18:24Safe.
18:25The message was about Zachary.
18:27He fell into the lake.
18:29The runner also said Zachary woke different.
18:33Polite.
18:34Feeding Jaden.
18:57We return at dawn.
19:09Sire.
19:11Alpha is back.
19:13The husband.
19:14Right.
19:15Here we go.
19:20Where?
19:22The cave.
19:25He's waiting.
19:34You went gathering.
19:36I did.
19:37You never gather.
19:40Things change.
19:42Jaden says you hit your head.
19:46I did.
19:48You also cooked for him.
19:51He was hungry.
19:56Who are you?
20:02Your mate.
20:03Apparently.
20:12You haven't thrown anything.
20:14Disappointed?
20:17Curious.
20:20Jaden told me what I was.
20:23And?
20:25I'm not him anymore.
20:29The shaman says spirits can cross worlds.
20:37Are you still Zachary?
20:40I'm the one who fed your son.
20:43Our son.
20:46Our son.
20:47Our son.
20:48Yes.
20:49He smiled today.
20:51When he talked about you.
20:54Is that bad?
20:57It's new.
21:07I'll sleep outside tonight.
21:10You don't trust me.
21:12I don't know you.
21:14I don't know.
21:14I don't know.
21:16I don't know.
21:17I don't know you.
21:22I don't know.
21:25Oh, yeah.
21:26I can't believe it.
21:26You're right.
21:27Oh, yeah.
21:27Oh, yeah.
21:28Oh, yeah.
21:30Oh, yeah.
21:44Zachary, you look different.
21:50I hit my head. Lost some memories.
21:55So I heard you also invented a tool.
22:00For gathering fruit.
22:04Useful. Very useful.
22:12Matthew, your mate seems changed.
22:17He is.
22:20For better or worse?
22:25Haven't decided yet.
22:30Fair answer.
22:33Keep me informed.
22:38Zachary, one more thing.
22:43Don't waste your second chance.
23:06Still don't trust me.
23:09Should I?
23:17The old me.
23:19What did I do to you?
23:22Screamed.
23:23Threw things.
23:24Called me a beast.
23:26And Jaden?
23:29You hit him.
23:32Often.
23:36Why did you stay?
23:38He's my cub.
23:40You're my mate.
23:41Duty.
23:43Not love.
23:47Love wasn't an option.
23:51I won't hit him.
23:53I won't hit you.
23:55I won't scream.
23:58Words are easy.
24:01Then watch.
24:12I'm watching.
24:23I'm watching.
24:26Zachary!
24:27Come spa!
24:29I'm subtharion.
24:31No claws.
24:32Then use a spear.
24:36Unless you're scared.
24:41Wait.
24:48I can't shift.
24:51But I know how to fight.
24:54Ready to bleed?
25:12Done.
25:22Where did you learn that?
25:24Different world.
25:32Chief.
25:33Tracks near the eastern pass.
25:36What kind?
25:38Wolf tribe.
25:39Ten.
25:40Maybe more.
25:44Raiders?
25:46Could be scouts.
25:47Testing our borders.
25:49They've been pushing closer for moons.
25:56I'll lead a patrol.
25:57Tonight.
25:59Wait.
26:01If they're testing, they want to fight.
26:03Don't give them one.
26:05What do you suggest?
26:07Show strength.
26:09Guard the pass.
26:10No blood unless they strike first.
26:16Smart.
26:18Do it.
26:19Do it.
26:36Tracks go east.
26:37Fresh.
26:38Spread out.
26:39Silent.
26:44They slowed here.
26:48You can read tracks.
26:52I can read fear.
26:58They want us to strike first.
27:14They'll be back.
27:18Then we prepare.
27:21You think like a warrior.
27:23I think like someone who wants to live.
27:33Those are ugly drawings.
27:36They are uglier when they work.
27:40What are they?
27:41Defenses.
27:42Wolves are fast.
27:43So we make them run where we want.
27:49Where did you learn this?
27:51Where I came from, people had many ways to kill each other.
27:55Show me.
27:59Deeper.
28:00A wolf can jump shallow pits.
28:02Spikes angled inward.
28:04This is cruel.
28:05So is letting them reach your children.
28:14Your mate has changed.
28:17Yes.
28:18For the better.
28:23I am starting to believe it.
28:31Remind me never to make you angry.
28:33Too late.
28:35You already did.
28:42This is a funnel.
28:43You make enemies choose the narrow path.
28:46Then we bite them?
28:48Only if you must.
28:50First, you survive.
28:52Will the wolves come here?
28:54They may try.
28:57Fear is not weakness.
28:59Fear tells you to watch.
29:01I am not scared!
29:03Then you are not paying attention.
29:10Good.
29:11Again.
29:12If I get stronger, will Alpha stay home?
29:16Your Alpha fights because he loves this tribe.
29:18And us?
29:20Especially you.
29:24Enough training for today.
29:28You taught them to run.
29:30I taught them to come home.
29:44Stay behind me.
29:48If I do, I cannot see the left pit.
29:54Argue after we live.
30:00Hold!
30:10Left!
30:11Left!
30:12Left!
30:19Matthew.
30:21you. Your traps saved lives tonight. They will come back. And we will be ready. You fought
30:34well, mate. The cave may no longer be only a place to survive. Hold still. What is that?
30:49Shaman's mixture stops infection. You didn't run. Where would I go? He's being careful with
31:09me. Jaden, come here. He's fine. Just scratches. You're bleeding. Wolves are rude. Didn't even
31:30introduce themselves. Sleep. Both of you. You're leaving again? I'll be outside. Watching.
31:50Then watch from inside. It's cold.
32:03Not trust yet. But something. Something's changing.
32:21Still playing the hero?
32:24Just getting water. Four wolves dead. You think that makes you special?
32:35What do you want, Corey?
32:43I want you to stop pretending.
32:48Pretending what?
32:49What? That you changed. That you're good now. That Matthew should look at you like
32:54that. I'm not pretending anything. You hit your cub. Screamed at your mate. Made everyone
33:00hate you. And now?
33:01Now I'm different. People don't change. Then I'm not people.
33:08Corey. Enough. Ask him, Matthew. Ask him what he really is. I already know.
33:19He's my mate.
33:27You didn't have to. Yes. I did.
33:37What are you building? Smokehouse. Preserves meat longer.
33:42Hang meat inside. Build small fire below. Smoke dries it out.
33:48Lasts for weeks. Weeks? Without spoiling? Weeks. Maybe longer.
33:55Sure. These good? Perfect.
34:02Show me how.
34:07You want to learn? I want to help.
34:11Stack stones there. Tight. No gaps for wind.
34:18Never seen Matthew build anything but weapons.
34:22Never seen Zachary teach anyone anything.
34:28He's not just watching anymore. He's staying.
34:36Can I help you?
34:38I've heard things.
34:39You drowned.
34:41You woke things. What different?
34:43You build things.
34:45You fight.
34:46You smile.
34:48Is that a crime?
34:50No.
34:51It's a mystery.
34:53The old Zachary had no skill with traps.
34:55No knowledge of smoke.
34:58No warmth for his cub.
35:00People change.
35:03Not like this.
35:05Where did you come from?
35:12The lake.
35:13I fell in.
35:15You came from somewhere else.
35:17Before the lake.
35:21Your mate is not your mate.
35:25What?
35:26The body is the same.
35:28The spirit is not.
35:31But this spirit
35:32is better.
35:36Are you going to ask?
35:40Do you want me to?
35:43Not yet.
35:47Then not yet.
35:52Elias told me something.
35:54About my old life.
35:55What did he say?
35:56I had family.
35:56A sire.
35:57An alpha.
35:58Someone named Wesley.
36:02Where are they now?
36:03Your side died.
36:04Two winters ago.
36:04Fever.
36:05And my alpha?
36:06His leg never healed.
36:07He couldn't hunt.
36:08Died the winter after.
36:09And Wesley?
36:11Wesley left.
36:12After you became my mate.
36:19He was your alpha's son.
36:21He wanted to be your mate instead.
36:23I had a family.
36:25A life.
36:26People who loved me.
36:27And the old Zachary threw it all away.
36:30Where did he go?
36:32South.
36:33Different tribe.
36:34No one's heard from him since.
36:35I want to find him someday.
36:39Then we will.
36:53More tracks.
36:54West side this time.
36:57Sit.
36:59How many?
37:00Eight wolves.
37:01Different scent.
37:03They are mapping us.
37:04Learning our patrols.
37:06What do you suggest?
37:08Change routes.
37:09Random times.
37:10No pattern.
37:11I take west.
37:12I take east.
37:13No.
37:14I know the traps.
37:15You are wounded.
37:16I can still think.
37:18Matthew West.
37:20Zachary East.
37:21With two warriors.
37:22And Elias.
37:24No arguments.
37:35They learned.
37:36Push them to the funnel.
37:51What about this one?
37:53Tie it.
37:53The chief needs answers.
37:58Will they attack again?
38:00Not now.
38:00They saw the traps change.
38:02They saw we adapt.
38:03West tracks turn south.
38:04Then we repair, store food, and prepare for cold season.
38:08And after the tribe is safe, then Wesley.
38:13Wesley.
38:21The East Mountain has mushrooms and water fruit now.
38:24Good.
38:24We need stores before cold season.
38:26I will take you.
38:28You make that sound simple.
38:29It is.
38:30You sit.
38:31He runs.
38:43Climb on.
38:44Absolutely not.
38:45He treats you better than injured warriors.
38:49Alpha will not let you fall.
39:04Slower!
39:21this one is safe this one is not if you are not sure do not eat it this one is
