Transcript

00:00:04Five years ago, the auction house reeked of sweat and fear.

00:00:08Rows of cages lined beneath flickering torchlight where omegas were paraded like livestock before the highest bidder.

00:00:14Rough hands tore me from my glass cage.

00:00:17The guards pushed me into line with the other omegas.

00:00:20I blinked beneath the bright lights while the bidders all gossiped.

00:00:24That one looks expensive.

00:00:26She'll breed fine pups.

00:00:28The blight that had left most female wolves barren in Blackclaw meant only omegas could breed.

00:00:34I'd never dreamed the Blackclaw Alpha would take me as his own.

00:00:39I knelt beside the other omegas.

00:00:42Lyle Blackclaw paced the row.

00:00:45His transparent wolf hovered behind him.

00:00:48We all knew the beast would have the final say.

00:00:52And I was the one they both chose.

00:00:54This one.

00:00:58The starting price for that one, my Alpha, is a million gold coins.

00:01:02The other bidders gasped.

00:01:03Nobody else dared to bid.

00:01:05Alpha Lydon's gaze burned deep into my soul.

00:01:10His wolf released a low howl.

00:01:12The crimson thread of the mate bond erupted from our fingertips and braided into the tight cord meant to bind

00:01:18us together.

00:01:19For eternity.

00:01:21The auctioneer slammed down his gavern.

00:01:23Shimmering gold coins cascaded from the sky.

00:01:27Salt!

00:01:28The servants rushed with wheelbarrows to haul away the pile of coins.

00:01:32Alpha Lyle helped me to my feet.

00:01:35He lifted my chin.

00:01:37I dared risk a smile.

00:01:39The moon goddess has blessed us.

00:01:40His low growl promised a lifetime of blessings.

00:01:43The great hall of Blackclaw Castle was packed shoulder to shoulder.

00:01:47Nobles and warriors alike crowding the marble floor to witness the fall of their Alpha's mate.

00:01:52And I was the one on display.

00:01:54I gave you airs.

00:01:55My voice was steady, but I was breaking.

00:01:58You can't throw me away like I mean nothing.

00:02:00I'm your mate!

00:02:01No, Elena.

00:02:03You're nothing.

00:02:08Lyle pulled Rowena closer.

00:02:10Another Omega, safe in his arms.

00:02:12While I could only watch.

00:02:14My fists clenched as memories flooded me.

00:02:17You chose me!

00:02:18Every single one of them.

00:02:20Nothing but a lie.

00:02:22The great hall of Blackclaw Castle.

00:02:25You can't break the mate bond, Lyle.

00:02:29As Alpha of this pack, I do as I please.

00:02:37Rowena simpered.

00:02:39Diamonds glittered around her neck.

00:02:41But love cannot be measured in diamonds.

00:02:44Not even in words.

00:02:45It can only be measured in actions.

00:02:48Lyle addressed the crowd of nobles.

00:02:51Elena Omega is no longer my mate.

00:02:55Instead, I take.

00:02:58He kissed Rowena.

00:02:59I covered my mouth.

00:03:01Eyes wide with grief.

00:03:03Everyone watched.

00:03:04Waiting for me to shatter.

00:03:06I forced my hand down.

00:03:08Rowena Omega is my new mate.

00:03:14Lyle walked to stand a few inches from me.

00:03:17Your body provided me with five fine children.

00:03:20I've no more need for you.

00:03:21As the mother of my heirs, you'll be permitted to remain in the Blackclaw pack.

00:03:27But...

00:03:27His eyes blazed icy blue.

00:03:30You're no longer my mate.

00:03:31Crimson cords entwined from our fingertips, but instantly snapped apart.

00:03:36I staggered.

00:03:37My hand gripped my heart.

00:03:39Lyle turned his back, unmoved by my pain.

00:03:42But...

00:03:43My uncle has no mate.

00:03:44I'm giving you to him.

00:03:46His uncle?

00:03:47Finn Blackclaw?

00:03:48He is the true Lycan king.

00:03:50The most feared warrior.

00:03:52And the war god the seven territories once knelt to.

00:03:55That was before.

00:03:57When he vanished on the battlefield, Alpha Lyle took up the pack's throne in his stead.

00:04:02The goddess above.

00:04:03Did our Alpha really just hand her off to a man who'd vanished off the battlefield?

00:04:08And what of her five children?

00:04:09Poor little things.

00:04:12Motherless in all but blood.

00:04:13Fatherless in all but name.

00:04:16Every word landed like a stone.

00:04:18I grabbed Lyle's sleeve to stop him.

00:04:20He yanked free with Alpha strength.

00:04:23His blazing blue gaze pierced me to the core, but I didn't let go.

00:04:28Lyle, Finn Blackclaw disappeared in battle five years ago.

00:04:31His sneer of disgust broke me harder.

00:04:34He'd forgotten the nights of pleasure we shared, but I never would.

00:04:38Then you'll have the manor house to yourself.

00:04:41He returned to his new mate.

00:04:43I pictured Finn Blackclorn.

00:04:45Hair black as night.

00:04:47Amber eyes.

00:04:48He'd been watching me the day Lyle bought me at the auction, never looking away.

00:04:53And then he disappeared.

00:04:56Finn Blackcloth had paced the rows of glass cages in the Omega auction.

00:05:00His gray wolf loomed behind him.

00:05:02He studied me for hours, never speaking.

00:05:07I'd trembled at the orange blaze in his eyes.

00:05:09I thought he'd bid on me.

00:05:11But after Lyle bought me, Finn disappeared.

00:05:14Rumors said he'd been slaughtered in battle.

00:05:18Rowena glared as I addressed Lyle in a hard, clear voice.

00:05:21If I'm to be tossed aside like trash, I demand our bond be stricken from the Blackclog register.

00:05:28Nobles murmured.

00:05:29The Elder stepped forward.

00:05:33Magic sparkled from her fingertips as a massive book appeared.

00:05:37Pages flipped to reveal our names in glimmering script.

00:05:49Alpha Lyot, you've broken the bond with Elena Omega.

00:05:52Your names will be stricken from the register, as demanded by the Moon Goddess for those who deny her blessings.

00:05:58It can never be restored.

00:06:00Lyot looked deeply into Rowena's eyes.

00:06:03Without even looking at me, Lyot barked out.

00:06:05Sever it, old woman.

00:06:06The gathered nobles gasped in shock.

00:06:09The Elder mimicked, tearing the pages from the book.

00:06:11Hanging in the air, the letters of my name burned.

00:06:14As each letter turned to ash, I jerked with fresh agonies.

00:06:18I went to my knees, headbound.

00:06:20It is done!

00:06:21A vision appeared of my weeping four-year-old cantelets.

00:06:24Benjamin, Edward, Alexander, Sebastian, and little Seraphina.

00:06:30Their eyes blazed the same as their father's.

00:06:33My name again.

00:06:34But this time, I was joined with Finn.

00:06:36It's done.

00:06:37When our Lycan king returns from the war, the mating shall be completed.

00:06:42Hushed voices murmured.

00:06:43I staggered upright.

00:06:44Tears streaked my cheeks.

00:06:46The book vanished in a flash of crimson and gold sparks.

00:06:49Lyot's wolf appeared with a mournful howl.

00:06:52Lyot's face twisted with a sudden realization.

00:06:55He gave me away.

00:06:56He could never get me back.

00:06:59In the morning, servants tossed my belongings into the courtyard.

00:07:02A lifetime, thrown away like trash.

00:07:05Once I'd been their beloved Alpha's mate.

00:07:07Now, I was nothing.

00:07:08They wouldn't even meet my eyes.

00:07:10Like their Alpha, they had a new mistress now.

00:07:13I'd planted medicinal herbs so I could take care of my five children and their father.

00:07:17And Rowena ordered every single plant torn up by its roots.

00:07:20Rip it all out.

00:07:21It's ugly.

00:07:22She watched with a cruel smile as my entire world was destroyed.

00:07:25My weeping children clung to me.

00:07:28They were being ripped away from the only home they'd ever known.

00:07:31Torn up by their roots.

00:07:32Just like my garden.

00:07:34Rowena's cold gaze fell upon the wooden toy Lyot had carved when the Cantuplets were born.

00:07:39The small wolf posed with its nose pointed to the air, howlowing.

00:07:43She picked it up with a snarl of disgust.

00:07:47Get rid of all this trash.

00:07:50She shattered the toy to splinters on the ground.

00:07:53My children wailed.

00:07:54I gathered them close.

00:07:56They were my entire life.

00:07:57Rowena.

00:07:59Rowena sneered at me.

00:08:00Enjoy the life you've stolen.

00:08:02I held my children close and jextured the hand.

00:08:05I refused to be ashamed.

00:08:07Everything worth having will never be yours, Rowena.

00:08:10As night fell, I found myself outside the packhouse gates.

00:08:14The townsfolk who once threw flowers to celebrate the birth of the Alpha's heirs now gathered to whisper and gossip.

00:08:20Nobody offered to help us.

00:08:22Where will she go?

00:08:23Five children at this time of night?

00:08:26Who will take her in?

00:08:29Mama?

00:08:30The firstborn Quintipets, Benjamin, tugged my skirts.

00:08:34I'm sleepy.

00:08:35In my arms, Selafina whimpered, too tired to even lift her head from my shoulder.

00:08:41Suddenly, the blare of a warhorn echoed through the town's stone streets.

00:08:47Elite warriors on black warhorses galloped toward us.

00:08:52The captain dismounted and strode towards me.

00:08:56I gasped when the captain bowed in front of me.

00:08:59Elino Omega, I've been sent to bring you home.

00:09:02He stepped aside to show the carriage waiting.

00:09:05Black as midnight, emblessed with the ancient runes of Blackclaw Pack.

00:09:10At Lycan King's estate, vines with thorns the size of my arm twisted through the closed iron gates.

00:09:17No lights welcomed us from the manor house.

00:09:19But when I stepped out of the carriage, the gates swung open.

00:09:23The thorns became blooming crimson roses.

00:09:25In the courtyard, dusty fountains spouted clear water.

00:09:30My children's eyes grew wide as they followed me to the manor house.

00:09:35A woman with a kind face invited us inside.

00:09:38The estate knows its true mistress has come home.

00:09:41It has never responded to anyone this way before.

00:09:44I gazed in awe at the beautiful home.

00:09:46Through a doorway, I saw a room with walls of books, maps, and military banners.

00:09:52Curiously, I stepped inside.

00:09:54I gasped at the enormous portrait of me and my kids hanging over the marble fireplace.

00:09:59I'd never seen it before, yet it captured all of us in perfect detail.

00:10:04Alexander pointed at the large desk.

00:10:05Look, Mama, our toys!

00:10:08Five wooden wolves, identical to the one that Rowena had been destroyed, lined up on the desk.

00:10:14The woman who'd answered the door spoke quietly.

00:10:17Lycan King made those when they were born.

00:10:20I don't understand.

00:10:22My heart broke again when I realized Lyle had lied about carving the toys.

00:10:27Come, my dears.

00:10:28I have milk and bread for you.

00:10:31The woman led my kids away.

00:10:34Finn Blacklaw had been missing since the day his nephew bought me.

00:10:37So how had he carved wooden toys for my quintuplets?

00:10:41And why?

00:10:43I was shocked to see my name on a sealed letter.

00:10:46I tore it open.

00:10:47Finn's voice filled my head as I read it.

00:10:50Alina, if you found this letter, then my nephew has betrayed you.

00:10:53I always knew he would.

00:10:55Lyle believes possession equals love.

00:10:57One day, that mistake will cost him everything he holds valuable.

00:11:00My breath caught as I turned the page over.

00:11:03You deserve the truth.

00:11:04The day I saw you in the auction arena, I...

00:11:06A servant rushed in.

00:11:08My lady, the kids!

00:11:10What happened?

00:11:11Lady Rowena sent guards from the packhouse to take them back.

00:11:14At the packhouse, she stood over them.

00:11:17Be grateful I sent for you.

00:11:19You should live with your father, not your worthless mother.

00:11:22Benjamin, my bravest boy, clenched his fists.

00:11:25Our mama is the best in the world!

00:11:27Rowena yanked him upward, nearly lifting him off his feet.

00:11:30Your mother was tossed aside like the trash she is!

00:11:33My five kids inherited their father's strength.

00:11:36Their eyes blazed icy blue in unison.

00:11:38Their talons burst from their fingertips.

00:11:42Tiny fangs erupt.

00:11:44Fuzzy little wolf ears sprouted from the tops of their heads, twitching with each growl.

00:11:50Don't say bad things about mama!

00:11:53Edward growled.

00:11:55Rowena's two guard looked impressed.

00:11:57The heirs truly belong to the Alpha.

00:11:59Their bloodline is strong.

00:12:01She shoved Edward to her knees.

00:12:02Sebastian lunged in front of his baby sister, taking the guard's rough shove meant for her,

00:12:07shielding Seraphina with his own small body.

00:12:09I shoved her aside.

00:12:11She raped her nails across my cheek.

00:12:13Blood spattered.

00:12:14But I knelt in front of my penteplecs and gathered them close.

00:12:19Mama's here.

00:12:20Hush now.

00:12:22I wiped their tears.

00:12:24Suddenly a flare of crimson thread woven around my arm.

00:12:27A bond I didn't yet understand, reaching for me from somewhere far away.

00:12:32What's happening?

00:12:33Lyle strode with Alpha Grace toward us.

00:12:36Rowena's face turned pale.

00:12:38Her eyes widened.

00:12:39Lyle!

00:12:41Lyle!

00:12:43Lyle!

00:12:51Five years ago, the auction house reeked of sweat and fear.

00:12:55Rows of cages lined beneath flickering torchlight where Omegas were paraded like livestock before

00:12:59the highest bidder.

00:13:01Rough hands tore me from my glass cage.

00:13:03The guards pushed me into line with the other Omegas.

00:13:07I blinked beneath the bright lights while the bidders all gossiped.

00:13:10That one looks expensive.

00:13:13She'll breed fine pups.

00:13:15The blight that had left most female wolves barren in Blackclaw meant only Omegas could

00:13:20breed.

00:13:20I'd never dreamed the Blackclaw Alpha would take me as his own.

00:13:25I knelt beside the other Omegas.

00:13:29Lyle Blackclaw paced the row.

00:13:31His transparent wolf hovered behind him.

00:13:34We all knew the beast would have the final say.

00:13:38And I was the one they both chose.

00:13:50Nobody else dared to bid.

00:13:57His wolf released a low howl.

00:13:59The crimson thread of the mate bond erupted from our fingertips and braided into the tight

00:14:04cord meant to bind us together.

00:14:06For eternity.

00:14:07The auctioneer slammed down his gavern.

00:14:10Shimmering gold coins cascaded from the sky.

00:14:13Salt!

00:14:14The servants rushed with wheelbarrows to haul away the pile of coins.

00:14:19Alpha Leild helped me to my feet.

00:14:57Another Omega, safe in his arms.

00:15:01My fists clenched as memories flooded me.

00:15:03You chose me!

00:15:05Every single one of them.

00:15:07Nothing but a lie.

00:15:09The great hall of Blackclaw Castle.

00:15:12You can't break the mate bond, Lyle.

00:15:15As Alpha of this pack, I do as I please.

00:15:24Rowena simpered.

00:15:26Diamonds glittered around her neck.

00:15:27But love cannot be measured in diamonds.

00:15:31Not even in words.

00:15:32It can only be measured in actions.

00:15:35Lyle addressed the crowd of nobles.

00:15:37Elena Omega is no longer my mate.

00:15:41Instead, I take.

00:15:44He kissed Rowena.

00:15:46I covered my mouth, eyes wide with grief.

00:15:49Everyone watched, waiting for me to shatter.

00:15:52I forced my hand down.

00:15:55Rowena Omega is my new mate.

00:16:01Lyle walked to stand a few inches from me.

00:16:04Your body provided me with five fine children.

00:16:07I've no more need for you.

00:16:08As the mother of my heirs, you'll be permitted to remain in the Blackclaw pack.

00:16:13But...

00:16:14His eyes blazed icy blue.

00:16:16You're no longer my mate.

00:16:18Crimson cords entwined from our fingertips, but instantly snapped apart.

00:16:23I staggered.

00:16:24My hand gripped my heart.

00:16:26Lyle turned his back, unmoved by my pain.

00:16:29But my uncle has no mate.

00:16:31I'm giving you to him.

00:16:33His uncle?

00:16:34Finn Blackclaw?

00:16:35He is the true Lycan king.

00:16:37The most feared warrior.

00:16:39And the war god the Seven Territories once knelt to.

00:16:42That was before.

00:16:43When he vanished on the battlefield, Alpha Lyle took up the pack's throne in his stead.

00:16:49Goddess above.

00:16:50Did our Alpha really just hand her off to a man who'd vanished off the battlefield?

00:16:54And what of her five children?

00:16:56Poor little things.

00:16:58Motherless in all but blood.

00:17:00Fatherless in all but name.

00:17:02Every word landed like a stone.

00:17:04I grabbed Lyle's sleeve to stop him.

00:17:06He yanked free with Alpha strength.

00:17:09His blazing blue gaze pierced me to the core, but I didn't let go.

00:17:14Lyle.

00:17:15Finn Blackclaw disappeared in battle five years ago.

00:17:18His sneer of disgust broke me harder.

00:17:20He'd forgotten the nights of pleasure we shared, but I never would.

00:17:25Then you'll have the manor house to yourself.

00:17:27He returned to his new mate.

00:17:29I pictured Finn Blackclorn.

00:17:32Hair black as night.

00:17:34Amber eyes.

00:17:35He'd been watching me the day Lyle bought me at the auction, never looking away.

00:17:39And then he disappeared.

00:17:42Finn Blackcloth had paced the rows of glass cages in the Omega auction.

00:17:46His gray wolf loomed behind him.

00:17:49He studied me for hours, never speaking.

00:17:53I trembled at the orange blaze in his eyes.

00:17:56I thought he'd bid on me.

00:17:57But after Lyle bought me, Finn disappeared.

00:18:01Rumors said he'd been slaughtered in battle.

00:18:04Rowena glared as I addressed Lyle in a hard, clear voice.

00:18:08If I'm to be tossed aside like trash, I demand our bond be stricken from the Blackclog register.

00:18:14Nobles murmured.

00:18:23Pages flipped to reveal our names in glimmering script.

00:18:35Alpha Lyot, you've broken the bond with Elena Omega.

00:18:39Your names will be stricken from the register, as demanded by the Moon Goddess for those who deny her blessings.

00:18:44It can never be restored.

00:18:47Lyot looked deeply into Rowena's eyes.

00:18:49Without even looking at me, Lyot barked out.

00:18:52Sever it, old woman.

00:18:53The gathered nobles gasped in shock.

00:18:55The Elder mimicked tearing the pages from the book.

00:18:58Hanging in the air, the letters of my name burned.

00:19:01As each letter turned to ash, I jerked with fresh agonies.

00:19:04I went to my knees, headbound.

00:19:06It is done!

00:19:07A vision appeared of my weeping four-year-old cantelots.

00:19:11Benjamin, Edward, Alexander, Sebastian, and little Seraphina.

00:19:17Their eyes blazed the same as their father's.

00:19:19My name again.

00:19:21But this time, I was joined with Finn.

00:19:23It's done.

00:19:23When our Lycan king returns from the war, the mating shall be completed.

00:19:28Hushed voices murmured.

00:19:30I staggered upright.

00:19:31Tears streaked my cheeks.

00:19:32The book vanished in a flash of crimson and gold sparks.

00:19:35Lyot's wolf appeared with a mournful howl.

00:19:39Lyot's face twisted with a sudden realization.

00:19:42He gave me away.

00:19:43He could never get me back.

00:19:46In the morning, servants tossed my belongings into the courtyard.

00:19:49A lifetime, thrown away like trash.

00:19:52Once I'd been their beloved Alpha's mate.

00:19:54Now, I was nothing.

00:19:55They wouldn't even meet my eyes.

00:19:57Like their Alpha, they had a new mistress now.

00:20:00I'd planted medicinal herbs so I could take care of my five children and their father.

00:20:03And Rowena ordered every single plant torn up by its roots.

00:20:07Rip it all out.

00:20:08It's ugly.

00:20:09She watched with a cruel smile as my entire world was destroyed.

00:20:12My weeping children clung to me.

00:20:14They were being ripped away from the only home they'd ever known.

00:20:18Torn up by their roots.

00:20:19Just like my garden.

00:20:20Rowena's cold gaze fell upon the wooden toy Lyot had carved when the Cantuplets were born.

00:20:26The small wolf posed with its nose pointed to the air, howlowing.

00:20:30She picked it up with a snarl of disgust.

00:20:34Get rid of all this trash.

00:20:37She shattered the toy to splinters on the ground.

00:20:39My children wailed.

00:20:41I gathered them close.

00:20:42They were my entire life.

00:20:44Rowena.

00:20:45Rowena sneered at me.

00:20:47Enjoy the life you've stolen.

00:20:49I held my children close and jextured the hand.

00:20:51I refused to be ashamed.

00:20:53Everything worth having will never be yours, Rowena.

00:20:57As night fell, I found myself outside the packhouse gates.

00:21:00The townsfolk who once threw flowers to celebrate the birth of the Alpha's heirs now gathered to whisper and gossip.

00:21:07Nobody offered to help us.

00:21:09Where will she go?

00:21:10Five children at this time of night?

00:21:13Who will take her in?

00:21:16Mama?

00:21:17The firstborn Quintipets, Benjamin, tugged my skirts.

00:21:20I'm sleepy.

00:21:23In my arms, Sellafina whimpered, too tired to even lift her head from my shoulder.

00:21:28Suddenly, the blare of a warhorn echoed through the town's stone streets.

00:21:34Elite warriors on black warhorses galloped toward us.

00:21:39The captain dismounted and strode towards me.

00:21:42I gasped when the captain bowed in front of me.

00:21:46Elino Omega, I've been sent to bring you home.

00:21:49He stepped aside to show the carriage waiting.

00:21:52Black as midnight, emblessed with the ancient runes of Blackclaw Pack.

00:21:56At Lichen King's estate, vines with thorns the size of my arm twisted through the closed iron gates.

00:22:03No lights welcomed us from the manor house.

00:22:06But when I stepped out of the carriage, the gates swung open.

00:22:09The thorns became blooming crimson roses.

00:22:12In the courtyard, dusty fountains spouted clear water.

00:22:16My children's eyes grew wide as they followed me to the manor house.

00:22:22A woman with a kind face invited us inside.

00:22:25The estate knows its true mistress has come home.

00:22:28It has never responded to anyone this way before.

00:22:31I gazed in awe at the beautiful home.

00:22:34Through a doorway, I saw a room with walls of books, maps, and military banners.

00:22:38Curiously, I stepped inside.

00:22:41I gasped at the enormous portrait of me and my kids hanging over the marble fireplace.

00:22:46I'd never seen it before, yet it captured all of us in perfect detail.

00:22:50Alexander pointed at the large desk.

00:22:52Look, Mama! Our toys!

00:22:55Five wooden wolves, identical to the one that Rowena had been destroyed, lined up on the desk.

00:23:01The woman who'd answered the door spoke quietly.

00:23:04Lichen King made those when they were born.

00:23:06I don't understand.

00:23:08My heart broke again when I realized Lyle had lied about carving the toys.

00:23:13Come, my dears. I have milk and bread for you.

00:23:18The woman led my kids away.

00:23:20Finn Blacklaw had been missing since the day his nephew bought me.

00:23:24So how had he carved wooden toys for my quintuplets?

00:23:27And why?

00:23:30I was shocked to see my name on a sealed letter.

00:23:32I tore it open.

00:23:34Finn's voice filled my head as I read it.

00:23:36Alina, if you found this letter, then my nephew has betrayed you.

00:23:40I always knew he would.

00:23:42Lyle believes possession equals love.

00:23:44One day that mistake will cost him everything he holds valuable.

00:23:47My breath caught as I turned the page over.

00:23:49You deserve the truth.

00:23:51The day I saw you in the auction arena, I...

00:23:53A servant rushed in.

00:23:55My lady, the kids!

00:23:57What happened?

00:23:58Lady Rowena sent guards from the packhouse to take them back.

00:24:01At the packhouse, she stood over them.

00:24:03Be grateful I sent for you.

00:24:05You should live with your father, not your worthless mother.

00:24:08Benjamin, my bravest boy, clenched his fists.

00:24:11Our mama is the best in the world!

00:24:13Rowena yanked him upward, nearly lifting him off his feet.

00:24:16Your mother was tossed aside like the trash she is!

00:24:20My five kids inherited their father's strength.

00:24:22Their eyes blazed icy blue in unison.

00:24:25Their talons burst from their fingertips.

00:24:28Tiny fangs erupt.

00:24:30Fuzzy little wolf ears sprouted from the tops of their heads, twitching with each growl.

00:24:36Don't say bad things about mama!

00:24:40Edward growled.

00:24:41Rowena's two guard looked impressed.

00:24:43The heirs truly belong to the Alpha.

00:24:46Their bloodline is strong.

00:24:47She shoved Edward to her knees.

00:24:49Sebastian lunged in front of his baby sister, taking the guard's rough shove meant for her,

00:24:53shielding Serafina with his own small body.

00:24:55I shoved her aside.

00:24:57She raped her nails across my cheek.

00:25:00Blood spattered.

00:25:01But I knelt in front of my pentepleks and gathered them close.

00:25:05Mama's here.

00:25:07Hush now.

00:25:08I wiped their tears.

00:25:10Suddenly a flare of crimson thread woven around my arm.

00:25:14A bond I didn't yet understand, reaching for me from somewhere far away.

00:25:18What's happening?

00:25:20Lyle strode with Alpha Grace toward us.

00:25:22Rowena's face turned pale.

00:25:24Her eyes widened.

00:25:26Lyle!

00:25:38Five years ago, the auction house reeked of sweat and fear.

00:25:42Rows of cages lined beneath flickering torchlight where Omegas were paraded like livestock before the highest bidder.

00:25:47Rough hands tore me from my glass cage.

00:25:49The guards pushed me into line with the other Omegas.

00:25:53I blinked beneath the bright lights while the bidders all gossiped.

00:25:57That one looks expensive.

00:26:00She'll breed fine pups.

00:26:01The blight that had left most female wolves barren in Blackclaw meant only Omegas could breed.

00:26:07I'd never dreamed the Blackclaw Alpha would take me as his own.

00:26:12I knelt beside the other Omegas.

00:26:15Lyle Blackclaw paced the row.

00:26:18His transparent wolf hovered behind him.

00:26:21We all knew the beast would have the final say.

00:26:25And I was the one they both chose.

00:26:28This one.

00:26:31The starting price for that one, my Alpha, is a million gold coins.

00:26:35The other bidders gasped.

00:26:37Nobody else dared to bid.

00:26:38Alpha Lydon's gaze burned deep into my soul.

00:26:43His wolf released a low howl.

00:26:46The crimson thread of the mate bond erupted from our fingertips

00:26:49and braided into the tight cord meant to bind us together.

00:26:52For eternity.

00:26:54The auctioneer slammed down his gavern.

00:26:57Shimmering gold coins cascaded from the sky.

00:27:00Salt!

00:27:01The servants rushed with wheelbarrows to haul away the pile of coins.

00:27:05Alpha Lyle helped me to my feet.

00:27:08He lifted my chin.

00:27:10I dared risk a smile.

00:27:12The moon goddess has blessed us.

00:27:14His low growl promised a lifetime of blessings.

00:27:16The great hall of Blackclaw Castle was packed shoulder to shoulder.

00:27:20Nobles and warriors alike crowding the marble floor to witness the fall of their Alpha's mate.

00:27:25And I was the one on display.

00:27:27I gave you airs.

00:27:28My voice was steady, but I was breaking.

00:27:31You can't throw me away like I mean nothing.

00:27:33I'm your mate!

00:27:35No, Elena.

00:27:36You're nothing.

00:27:41Lyle pulled Rowena closer, another Omega, safe in his arms, while I could only watch.

00:27:47My fists clenched as memories flooded me.

00:27:50You chose me!

00:27:51Every single one of them, nothing but a lie.

00:27:55The great hall of Blackclaw Castle.

00:27:59You can't break the mate bond, Lyle.

00:28:02As Alpha of this pack, I do as I please.

00:28:11Rowena simpered.

00:28:12Diamonds glittered around her neck.

00:28:14But love cannot be measured in diamonds.

00:28:17Not even in words.

00:28:19It can only be measured in actions.

00:28:22Lyle addressed the crowd of nobles.

00:28:24Elena Omega is no longer my mate.

00:28:28Instead, I take.

00:28:31He kissed Rowena.

00:28:33I covered my mouth, eyes wide with grief.

00:28:36Everyone watched, waiting for me to shatter.

00:28:39I forced my hand down.

00:28:41Rowena Omega is my new mate.

00:28:47Lyle walked to stand a few inches from me.

00:28:50Your body provided me with five fine children.

00:28:53I've no more need for you.

00:28:55As the mother of my heirs, you'll be permitted to remain in the Blackclaw pack.

00:29:00But...

00:29:01His eyes blazed icy blue.

00:29:03You're no longer my mate.

00:29:04Crimson cords entwined from our fingertips, but instantly snapped apart.

00:29:09I staggered.

00:29:10My hand gripped my heart.

00:29:12Lyle turned his back, unmoved by my pain.

00:29:15But...

00:29:16My uncle has no mate.

00:29:18I'm giving you to him.

00:29:19His uncle?

00:29:20Finn Blackclaw?

00:29:21He is the true Lycan king.

00:29:24The most feared warrior and the war god the Seven Territories once knelt to.

00:29:28That was before.

00:29:30When he vanished on the battlefield, Alpha Lyle took up the pack's throne in his stead.

00:29:35Goddess above.

00:29:36Did our Alpha really just hand her off to a man who'd vanished off the back of thee?

00:29:41And what of her five children?

00:29:43Poor little things.

00:29:45Motherless in all but blood.

00:29:47Fatherless in all but name.

00:29:49Every word landed like a stone.

00:29:51I grabbed Lyle's sleeve to stop him.

00:29:53He yanked free with Alpha strength.

00:29:56His blazing blue gaze pierced me to the core, but I didn't let go.

00:30:01Lyle, Finn Blackclaw disappeared in battle five years ago!

00:30:04His sneer of disgust broke me harder.

00:30:07He'd forgotten the nights of pleasure we shared, but I never would.

00:30:11Then you'll have the manor house to yourself.

00:30:15He returned to his new mate.

00:30:16I pictured Finn Blackclorn.

00:30:18Hair black as night.

00:30:20Amber eyes.

00:30:21He'd been watching me the day Lyle bought me at the auction, never looking away.

00:30:26And then he disappeared.

00:30:29Finn Blackcloth had paced the rows of glass cages in the Omega auction.

00:30:33His gray wolf loomed behind him.

00:30:35He studied me for hours, never speaking.

00:30:40I trembled at the orange blaze in his eyes.

00:30:42I thought he'd bid on me.

00:30:44But after Lyle bought me, Finn disappeared.

00:30:47Rumors said he'd been slaughtered in battle.

00:30:51Rowena glared as I addressed Lyle in a hard, clear voice.

00:30:55If I'm to be tossed aside like trash,

00:30:57I demand our bond be stricken from the Blackclog register.

00:31:01Nobles murmured.

00:31:02The Elder stepped forward.

00:31:06Magic sparkled from her fingertip,

00:31:08as a massive book appeared.

00:31:10Pages flipped to reveal our names in glimmering script.

00:31:22Alpha Lyot.

00:31:23You've broken the bond with Elena Omega.

00:31:25Your names will be stricken from the register,

00:31:28as demanded by the Moon Goddess for those who deny her blessings.

00:31:31It can never be restored.

00:31:34Lyot looked deeply into Rowena's eyes.

00:31:36Without even looking at me,

00:31:37Lyot barked out.

00:31:39Sever it, old woman.

00:31:40The gathered nobles gasped in shock.

00:31:42The Elder mimicked tearing the pages from the book.

00:31:45Hanging in the air,

00:31:46the letters of my name burned.

00:31:47As each letter turned to ash,

00:31:49I jerked with fresh agonies.

00:31:51I went to my knees, headbound.

00:31:53It is done.

00:31:54A vision appeared of my weeping four-year-old Kintelitz.

00:31:57Benjamin, Edward, Alexander, Sebastian, and little Seraphina.

00:32:03Their eyes blazed the same as their father's.

00:32:06My name again.

00:32:07But this time, I was joined with Finn.

00:32:10It's done.

00:32:10When our Lycan king returns from the war,

00:32:13the mating shall be completed.

00:32:15Hushed voices murmured.

00:32:16I staggered upright.

00:32:18Tears streaked my cheeks.

00:32:19The book vanished in a flash of crimson and gold sparks.

00:32:22Lyall's wolf appeared with a mournful howl.

00:32:25Lyall's face twisted with a sudden realization.

00:32:28He gave me away.

00:32:29He could never get me back.

00:32:32In the morning,

00:32:33servants tossed my belongings into the courtyard.

00:32:36A lifetime, thrown away like trash.

00:32:38Once I'd been their beloved Alpha's mate.

00:32:40Now, I was nothing.

00:32:42They wouldn't even meet my eyes.

00:32:44Like their Alpha, they had a new mistress now.

00:32:55She watched with a cruel smile

00:32:57as my entire world was destroyed.

00:32:59My weeping children clung to me.

00:33:01They were being ripped away

00:33:02from the only home they'd ever known.

00:33:04Torn up by their roots.

00:33:05Just like my garden.

00:33:06Rowena's cold gaze fell upon the wooden toy

00:33:09Lyard had carved when the Cantuplets were born.

00:33:12The small wolf posed with its nose pointed to the air,

00:33:16howlowing.

00:33:17She picked it up with a snarl of disgust.

00:33:20Get rid of all this trash.

00:33:23She shattered the toy to splinters on the ground.

00:33:26My children wailed.

00:33:27I gathered them close.

00:33:29They were my entire life.

00:33:30Rowena.

00:33:32Rowena sneered at me.

00:33:34Enjoy the life you've stolen.

00:33:35I held my children close

00:33:37and jextured the hand.

00:33:38I refused to be ashamed.

00:33:40Everything worth having

00:33:41will never be yours, Rowena.

00:33:43As night fell,

00:33:44I found myself outside the packhouse gates.

00:33:47The townsfolk who once threw flowers

00:33:55Where will she go?

00:34:02Mama?

00:34:03The firstborn Quintipets,

00:34:05Benjamin, tugged my skirts.

00:34:07I'm sleepy.

00:34:09In my arms,

00:34:10Selafina whimpered,

00:34:11too tired to even lift her head from my shoulder.

00:34:15Suddenly,

00:34:16the blare of a warhorn

00:34:34I've been sent to bring you home.

00:34:35He stepped aside

00:34:36to show the carriage waiting.

00:34:38Black as midnight,

00:34:40emblessed with the ancient runes

00:34:42of Blackclaw Pack.

00:34:43At Lycan King's estate,

00:34:46vines with thorns the size of my arm

00:34:48twisted through the closed iron gates.

00:34:50No lights welcomed us from the manor house.

00:34:52But when I stepped out of the carriage,

00:34:54the gates swung open.

00:34:56The thorns became blooming crimson roses.

00:34:59In the courtyard,

00:35:00dusty fountains spouted clear water.

00:35:03My children's eyes grew wide

00:35:05as they followed me to the manor house.

00:35:08A woman with a kind face invited us inside.

00:35:12The estate knows its true mistress has come home.

00:35:18I gazed in awe at the beautiful home.

00:35:20Through a doorway,

00:35:21I saw a room with walls of books,

00:35:24maps,

00:35:24and military banners.

00:35:25Curiously,

00:35:26I stepped inside.

00:35:27I gasped at the enormous portrait

00:35:29of me and my kids

00:35:30hanging over the marble fireplace.

00:35:32I'd never seen it before,

00:35:34yet it captured all of us

00:35:35in perfect detail.

00:35:37Alexander pointed at the large desk.

00:35:39Look, Mama!

00:35:40Our toys!

00:35:42Five wooden wolves,

00:35:43identical to the one

00:35:44that Rowena had been destroyed,

00:35:46lined up on the desk.

00:35:47The woman who'd answered the door

00:35:49spoke quietly.

00:35:50Lycan King made those

00:35:51when they were born.

00:35:53I don't understand.

00:35:55My heart broke again

00:35:56when I realized Lyle had lied

00:35:58about carving the toys.

00:36:00Come, my dears.

00:36:01I have milk and bread for you.

00:36:04The woman led my kids away.

00:36:07Finn Blackclaw had been missing

00:36:08since the day his nephew bought me.

00:36:10So how had he carved wooden toys

00:36:12for my quintuplets?

00:36:14And why?

00:36:16I was shocked to see my name

00:36:18on a sealed letter.

00:36:19I tore it open.

00:36:20Finn's voice filled my head

00:36:22as I read it.

00:36:23Alina,

00:36:24if you found this letter

00:36:25then my nephew has betrayed you.

00:36:27I always knew he would.

00:36:28Lyle believes possession equals love.

00:36:31One day that mistake

00:36:31will cost him everything

00:36:32he holds valuable.

00:36:34My breath caught

00:36:35as I turned the page over.

00:36:36You deserve the truth.

00:36:37The day I saw you

00:36:38in the auction arena, I...

00:36:40A servant rushed in.

00:36:41My lady, the kids!

00:36:43What happened?

00:36:44Lady Rowena sent guards

00:36:46from the packhouse

00:36:47to take them back.

00:36:48At the packhouse,

00:36:49she stood over them.

00:36:50Be grateful I sent for you.

00:36:52You should live with your father,

00:36:53not your worthless mother.

00:36:55Benjamin, my bravest boy,

00:36:57clenched his fists.

00:36:58Our mama is the best in the world!

00:37:00Rowena yanked him upward,

00:37:02nearly lifting him off his feet.

00:37:03Your mother was tossed aside

00:37:05like the trash she is!

00:37:06My five kids inherited

00:37:08their father's strength.

00:37:09Their eyes blazed icy blue

00:37:11in unison.

00:37:11Their talons burst

00:37:13from their fingertips.

00:37:15Tiny fangs erupt.

00:37:17Fuzzy little wolf ears

00:37:18sprouted from the tops

00:37:19of their heads,

00:37:20twitching with each growl.

00:37:23Don't say bad things

00:37:24about mama!

00:37:26Edward growled.

00:37:28Rowena's two guard

00:37:29looked impressed.

00:37:30The heirs truly belong

00:37:31to the Alpha.

00:37:32Their bloodline is strong.

00:37:34She shoved Edward

00:37:34to her knees.

00:37:36Sebastian lunged

00:37:37in front of his baby sister,

00:37:38taking the guard's

00:37:38rough shove meant for her,

00:37:40shielding Serafina

00:37:41with his own small body.

00:37:42I shoved her aside.

00:37:44She raped her nails

00:37:45across my cheek,

00:37:46blood spattered.

00:37:47But I knelt in front

00:37:48of my pentepleks

00:37:49and gathered them close.

00:37:52Mama's here.

00:37:54Hush now.

00:37:55I wiped their tears.

00:37:57Suddenly a flare

00:37:58of crimson thread

00:37:59woven around my arm,

00:38:00a bond I didn't yet understand,

00:38:03reaching for me

00:38:03from somewhere far away.

00:38:05What's happening?

00:38:06Lyle strode

00:38:07with alpha grace

00:38:08toward us.

00:38:09Rowena's face

00:38:10turned pale.

00:38:11Her eyes widened.

00:38:12Lyle!

00:38:24Five years ago,

00:38:26the auction house

00:38:26reeked of sweat

00:38:27and fear.

00:38:28Rows of cages

00:38:29lined beneath

00:38:30flickering torchlight

00:38:30where omegas

00:38:31were paraded

00:38:32like livestock

00:38:32before the highest bidder.

00:38:34Rough hands

00:38:35tore me from my glass cage.

00:38:36The guards pushed me

00:38:38into line

00:38:38with the other omegas.

00:38:40I blinked beneath

00:38:41the bright lights

00:38:42while the bidders

00:38:42all gossiped.

00:38:44That one looks expensive.

00:38:46She'll breed fine pups.

00:38:48The blight that had left

00:38:49most female wolves

00:38:50barren in Blackclaw

00:38:51meant only omegas

00:38:53could breed.

00:38:54I'd never dreamed

00:38:55the Blackclaw alpha

00:38:56would take me as his own.

00:38:59I knelt beside

00:39:00the other omegas.

00:39:02Lyle Blackclaw

00:39:03paced the row.

00:39:05His transparent wolf

00:39:06hovered behind him.

00:39:08We all knew

00:39:08the beast

00:39:09would have

00:39:09the final say.

00:39:12And I was the one

00:39:13they both chose.

00:39:14This one.

00:39:17The starting price

00:39:18for that one,

00:39:19my alpha,

00:39:20is a million gold coins.

00:39:22The other bidders

00:39:22gasped.

00:39:23Nobody else

00:39:24dared to bid.

00:39:25Alpha Lydon's gaze

00:39:26burned deep

00:39:27into my soul.

00:39:30His wolf

00:39:31released a low howl.

00:39:32The crimson thread

00:39:33of the mate bond

00:39:34erupted from our fingertips

00:39:36and braided into

00:39:37the tight cord

00:39:37meant to bind us together

00:39:39for eternity.

00:39:40The auctioneer

00:39:41slammed down

00:39:42his gavern.

00:39:43Shimmering gold coins

00:39:44cascaded from the sky.

00:39:47Salt!

00:39:48The servants

00:39:48rushed with wheelbarrows

00:39:50to haul away

00:39:50the pile of coins.

00:39:52Alpha Lyle

00:39:52helped me to my feet.

00:39:55He lifted my chin.

00:39:56I dared risk a smile.

00:39:58The moon goddess

00:39:59has blessed us.

00:40:00His low growl

00:40:01promised a lifetime

00:40:02of blessings.

00:40:03The great hall

00:40:03of Blackclaw Castle

00:40:05was packed

00:40:05shoulder to shoulder.

00:40:07Nobles and warriors

00:40:08alike crowding

00:40:09the marble floor

00:40:09to witness the fall

00:40:10of their alpha's mate.

00:40:12And I was the one

00:40:13on display.

00:40:14I gave you airs.

00:40:15My voice was steady

00:40:16but I was breaking.

00:40:17You can't throw me away

00:40:18like I mean nothing.

00:40:20I'm your mate!

00:40:21No, Elena.

00:40:23You're nothing.

00:40:28Lyle pulled Rowena closer.

00:40:30Another Omega

00:40:31safe in his arms

00:40:32while I could only watch.

00:40:34My fists clenched

00:40:35as memories flooded me.

00:40:36You chose me!

00:40:38Every single one of them

00:40:40nothing but a lie.

00:40:42The great hall

00:40:43of Blackclaw Castle.

00:40:45You can't break

00:40:46the mate bond, Lyle.

00:40:49As alpha of this pack

00:40:50I do as I please.

00:40:57Rowena simpered.

00:40:59Diamonds glittered

00:41:00around her neck.

00:41:01But love cannot be

00:41:02measured in diamonds.

00:41:04Not even in words.

00:41:05It can only be

00:41:06measured in actions.

00:41:08Lyle addressed

00:41:09the crowd of nobles.

00:41:11Elena Omega

00:41:11is no longer my mate.

00:41:15Instead, I take.

00:41:17He kissed Rowena.

00:41:19I covered my mouth.

00:41:21Eyes wide with grief.

00:41:22Everyone watched.

00:41:24Waiting for me to shatter.

00:41:25I forced my hand down.

00:41:28Rowena Omega

00:41:29is my new mate.

00:41:34Lyle walked to stand

00:41:35a few inches from me.

00:41:37Your body provided me

00:41:38with five fine children.

00:41:40I've no more need for you.

00:41:41As the mother of my heirs

00:41:43you'll be permitted to remain

00:41:45in the Blackclaw pack.

00:41:47But...

00:41:47His eyes blazed icy blue.

00:41:50You're no longer my mate.

00:41:51Crimson cords entwined

00:41:53from our fingertips

00:41:53but instantly snapped apart.

00:41:56I staggered.

00:41:57My hand gripped my heart.

00:41:59Lyle turned his back.

00:42:00Unmoved by my pain.

00:42:02But...

00:42:02My uncle has no mate.

00:42:04I'm giving you to him.

00:42:06His uncle?

00:42:07Finn Blackclaw?

00:42:08He is the true Lycan king.

00:42:10The most feared warrior

00:42:12and the war god

00:42:13the Seven Territories

00:42:14once knelt to.

00:42:15That was before.

00:42:17When he vanished

00:42:17on the battlefield

00:42:18Alpha Lyle took up

00:42:19the pack's throne

00:42:20in his stead.

00:42:22Goddess above.

00:42:23Did our Alpha

00:42:24really just hand her off

00:42:25to a man who'd vanished

00:42:26off the battlefield?

00:42:27And what of her five children?

00:42:29Poor little things.

00:42:31Motherless in all but blood.

00:42:33Fatherless in all but name.

00:42:35Every word landed

00:42:37like a stone.

00:42:38I grabbed Lyle's sleeve

00:42:39to stop him.

00:42:40He yanked free

00:42:41with Alpha strength.

00:42:42His blazing blue gaze

00:42:44pierced me to the core

00:42:45but I didn't let go.

00:42:47Lyle.

00:42:48Finn Blackclaw disappeared

00:42:49in battle five years ago.

00:42:51His sneer of disgust

00:42:52broke me harder.

00:42:54He'd forgotten

00:42:54the nights of pleasure

00:42:55we shared

00:42:56but I never would.

00:42:58Then you'll have

00:42:59the manor house

00:42:59to yourself.

00:43:01He returned

00:43:02to his new mate.

00:43:03I pictured Finn Blackclorn.

00:43:05Hair black as night.

00:43:07Amber eyes.

00:43:08He'd been watching me

00:43:09the day Lyle bought me

00:43:10at the auction.

00:43:11Never looking away.

00:43:13And then he disappeared.

00:43:15Finn Blackcloth

00:43:17had paced the rows

00:43:17of glass cages

00:43:18in the Omega auction.

00:43:20His gray wolf

00:43:21loomed behind him.

00:43:22He studied me

00:43:23for hours.

00:43:24Never speaking.

00:43:26I'd trembled

00:43:27at the orange blaze

00:43:28in his eyes.

00:43:29I thought he'd bid on me.

00:43:31But after Lyle bought me

00:43:32Finn disappeared.

00:43:34Rumors said

00:43:35he'd been slaughtered

00:43:35in battle.

00:43:38Rowena glared

00:43:39as I addressed Lyle

00:43:40it in a hard,

00:43:40clear voice.

00:43:41If I'm to be tossed aside

00:43:43like trash,

00:43:44I demand our bond

00:43:45be stricken

00:43:46from the blacklog register.

00:43:47Nobles murmured.

00:43:49The Elder stepped forward.

00:43:52Magic sparkled

00:43:54from her fingertips

00:43:54as a massive book appeared.

00:43:57Pages flipped

00:43:58to reveal our names

00:43:59in glimmering script.

00:44:08Alpha Lyot.

00:44:10You've broken the bond

00:44:11with Elena Omega.

00:44:12Your names will be

00:44:13stricken from the register

00:44:14as demanded by the moon goddess

00:44:16for those who deny

00:44:17her blessings.

00:44:18It can never be restored.

00:44:20Lyot looked deeply

00:44:21into Rowena's eyes.

00:44:22Without even looking at me,

00:44:24Lyot barked out.

00:44:25Sever it, old woman.

00:44:26The gathered nobles

00:44:27gasped in shock.

00:44:29The Elder mimicked

00:44:29tearing the pages

00:44:30from the book.

00:44:31Hanging in the air,

00:44:32the letters of my name

00:44:33burned.

00:44:34As each letter

00:44:35turned to ash,

00:44:36I jerked with fresh agonies.

00:44:38I went to my knees,

00:44:38headbound.

00:44:39It is done!

00:44:40A vision appeared

00:44:41of my weeping

00:44:42four-year-old

00:44:43cantelots.

00:44:44Benjamin,

00:44:45Edward,

00:44:46Alexander,

00:44:46Sebastian,

00:44:47and little Seraphina.

00:44:50Their eyes blazed

00:44:51the same as their father's.

00:44:53My name again.

00:44:53But this time,

00:44:55I was joined with Finn.

00:44:56It's done.

00:44:57When our Lycan king

00:44:58returns from the war,

00:44:59the mating shall be completed.

00:45:01Hushed voices murmured.

00:45:03I staggered upright.

00:45:04Tears streaked my cheeks.

00:45:05The book vanished

00:45:06in a flash of crimson

00:45:07and gold sparks.

00:45:09Lyot's wolf appeared

00:45:10with a mournful howl.

00:45:12Lyot's face twisted

00:45:13with a sudden realization.

00:45:15He gave me away.

00:45:16He could never get me back.

00:45:19In the morning,

00:45:20servants tossed my belongings

00:45:21into the courtyard.

00:45:22A lifetime,

00:45:23thrown away like trash.

00:45:25Once I'd been

00:45:25their beloved Alpha's mate.

00:45:27Now,

00:45:27I was nothing.

00:45:28They wouldn't even

00:45:29meet my eyes.

00:45:30Like their Alpha,

00:45:31they had a new mistress now.

00:45:33I'd planted medicinal herbs

00:45:34so I could take care

00:45:35of my five children

00:45:36and their father,

00:45:37and Rowena ordered

00:45:38every single plant

00:45:38torn up by its roots.

00:45:40Rip it all out.

00:45:41It's ugly.

00:45:42She watched

00:45:42with a cruel smile

00:45:43as my entire world

00:45:44was destroyed.

00:45:45My weeping children

00:45:46clung to me.

00:45:47They were being ripped away

00:45:48from the only home

00:45:49they'd ever known.

00:45:51Torn up by their roots,

00:45:52just like my garden,

00:45:54Rowena's cold gaze

00:45:55fell upon the wooden toy

00:45:56Lyot had carved

00:45:57when the Cantuplets were born.

00:45:59The small wolf posed

00:46:01with its nose

00:46:01pointed to the air,

00:46:02howlowing.

00:46:03She picked it up

00:46:04with a snarl of disgust.

00:46:07Get rid of all this trash.

00:46:10She shattered the toy

00:46:11to splinters on the ground.

00:46:12My children wailed.

00:46:14I gathered them close.

00:46:15They were my entire

00:46:16life.

00:46:17Rowena.

00:46:19Rowena sneered at me.

00:46:20Enjoy the life

00:46:21you've stolen.

00:46:22I held my children

00:46:23close and jextured

00:46:24with my hand.

00:46:24I refused to be ashamed.

00:46:27Everything worth having

00:46:28will never be yours,

00:46:29Rowena.

00:46:30As night fell,

00:46:31I found myself

00:46:32outside the packhouse gates.

00:46:34The townsfolk

00:46:35who once threw flowers

00:46:36to celebrate the birth

00:46:37of the Alpha's heirs

00:46:38now gathered to whisper

00:46:39and gossip.

00:46:40Nobody offered

00:46:41to help us.

00:46:42Where will she go?

00:46:43Five children

00:46:44at this time of night?

00:46:46Who will take her in?

00:46:49Mama?

00:46:50The firstborn Quintipets,

00:46:52Benjamin,

00:46:52tugged my skirts.

00:46:54I'm sleepy.

00:46:55In my arms,

00:46:57Selafina whimpered,

00:46:58too tired to even

00:46:59lift her head

00:46:59from my shoulder.

00:47:01Suddenly,

00:47:02the blare of a warhorn

00:47:03echoed through

00:47:04the town's stone streets.

00:47:07Elite warriors

00:47:08on black warhorses

00:47:09galloped toward us.

00:47:12The captain dismounted

00:47:14and strode towards me.

00:47:15I gasped

00:47:16when the captain

00:47:17bowed in front of me.

00:47:19Elino Omega,

00:47:20I've been sent

00:47:21to bring you home.

00:47:22He stepped aside

00:47:23to show the carriage waiting.

00:47:25Black as midnight,

00:47:26emblessed with the ancient

00:47:28runes of Blackclaw Pack.

00:47:30At Lycan King's estate,

00:47:32vines with thorns

00:47:33the size of my arm

00:47:34twisted through

00:47:35the closed iron gates.

00:47:37No lights welcomed us

00:47:38from the manor house.

00:47:39But when I stepped out

00:47:40of the carriage,

00:47:41the gates swung open.

00:47:42The thorns became

00:47:43blooming crimson roses.

00:47:45In the courtyard,

00:47:47dusty fountains

00:47:47spouted clear water.

00:47:50My children's eyes

00:47:51grew wide

00:47:51as they followed me

00:47:52to the manor house.

00:47:55A woman with a kind face

00:47:57invited us inside.

00:47:58The estate knows

00:47:59its true mistress

00:48:00has come home.

00:48:01It has never responded

00:48:03to anyone this way before.

00:48:04I gazed in awe

00:48:05at the beautiful home.

00:48:07Through a doorway,

00:48:08I saw a room

00:48:09with walls of books,

00:48:10maps,

00:48:11and military banners.

00:48:12Curiously,

00:48:13I stepped inside.

00:48:14I gasped

00:48:15at the enormous portrait

00:48:16of me and my kids

00:48:17hanging over

00:48:18the marble fireplace.

00:48:19I'd never seen it before,

00:48:21yet it captured all of us

00:48:22in perfect detail.

00:48:23Alexander pointed

00:48:24at the large desk.

00:48:26Look, Mama!

00:48:27Our toys!

00:48:28Five wooden wolves,

00:48:30identical to the one

00:48:31that Rowena had been destroyed,

00:48:33lined up on the desk.

00:48:34The woman who'd answered

00:48:35the door spoke quietly.

00:48:37Lycan King made those

00:48:38when they were born.

00:48:39I don't understand.

00:48:42My heart broke again

00:48:43when I realized

00:48:44Lyle had lied

00:48:44about carving the toys.

00:48:46Come, my dears.

00:48:48I have milk and bread for you.

00:48:51The woman led my kids away.

00:48:53Finn Blackclaw had been missing

00:48:55since the day

00:48:55his nephew bought me.

00:48:57So how had he carved

00:48:58wooden toys

00:48:59for my quintuplets?

00:49:00And why?

00:49:03I was shocked

00:49:04to see my name

00:49:04on a sealed letter.

00:49:06I tore it open.

00:49:07Finn's voice filled my head

00:49:08as I read it.

00:49:09Alina,

00:49:10if you found this letter

00:49:11then my nephew

00:49:12has betrayed you.

00:49:13I always knew he would.

00:49:15Lyle believes

00:49:16possession equals love.

00:49:17One day that mistake

00:49:18will cost him

00:49:19everything he holds valuable.

00:49:20My breath caught

00:49:21as I turned the page over.

00:49:23You deserve the truth.

00:49:24The day I saw you

00:49:25in the auction arena

00:49:25I...

00:49:26A servant rushed in.

00:49:28My lady, the kids.

00:49:30What happened?

00:49:31Lady Rowena sent guards

00:49:32from the packhouse

00:49:33to take them back.

00:49:34At the packhouse

00:49:35she stood over them.

00:49:37Be grateful I sent for you.

00:49:38You should live with your father

00:49:40not your worthless mother.

00:49:42Benjamin, my bravest boy

00:49:43clenched his fists.

00:49:45Our mama is the best

00:49:46in the world!

00:49:47Rowena yanked him upward

00:49:48nearly lifting him

00:49:49off his feet.

00:49:50Your mother was tossed aside

00:49:51like the trash she is!

00:49:53My five kids

00:49:54inherited their father's strength.

00:49:55Their eyes blazed

00:49:57icy blue in unison.

00:49:59Their talons burst

00:50:00from their fingertips.

00:50:02Tiny fangs erupt.

00:50:03Fuzzy little wolf ears

00:50:05sprouted from the tops

00:50:06of their heads

00:50:07twitching with each growl.

00:50:09Don't say bad things

00:50:11about mama!

00:50:13Edward growled.

00:50:15Rowena's two guard

00:50:15looked impressed.

00:50:17The heirs truly belong

00:50:18to the Alpha.

00:50:19Their bloodline is strong.

00:50:20She shoved Edward

00:50:21to her knees.

00:50:22Sebastian lunged

00:50:23in front of his baby sister

00:50:24taking the guard's

00:50:25rough shove

00:50:26meant for her

00:50:26shielding Serafina

00:50:27with his own small body.

00:50:29I shoved her aside.

00:50:30She raped her nails

00:50:32across my cheek.

00:50:33Blood spattered.

00:50:34But I knelt in front

00:50:35of my pentepleks

00:50:36and gathered them close.

00:50:39Mama's here.

00:50:40Hush now.

00:50:42I wiped their tears.

00:50:44Suddenly a flare

00:50:45of crimson thread

00:50:46woven around my arm.

00:50:47A bond I didn't yet understand

00:50:49reaching for me

00:50:50from somewhere far away.

00:50:52What's happening?

00:50:53Lyle strode

00:50:54with Alpha Grace

00:50:55toward us.

00:50:56Rowena's face

00:50:56turned pale.

00:50:57Her eyes widened.

00:50:59Lyle!

00:51:11Five years ago

00:51:12the auction house

00:51:13reeked of sweat

00:51:14and fear.

00:51:15Rows of cages

00:51:16lined beneath flickering

00:51:17torchlight

00:51:17where Omegas

00:51:18were paraded

00:51:18like livestock

00:51:19before the highest bidder.

00:51:20Rough hands

00:51:21tore me from my glass cage.

00:51:23The guards pushed me

00:51:24into line

00:51:25with the other Omegas.

00:51:27I blinked

00:51:27beneath the bright lights

00:51:28while the bidders

00:51:29all gossiped.

00:51:30That one looks expensive.

00:51:33She'll breed fine pups.

00:51:35The blight

00:51:35that had left

00:51:36most female wolves

00:51:37barren in Black Claw

00:51:38meant only Omegas

00:51:39could breed.

00:51:40I'd never dreamed

00:51:41the Black Claw Alpha

00:51:42would take me as his own.

00:51:45I knelt

00:51:46beside the other Omegas.

00:51:48Lyle Black Claw

00:51:49paced the row.

00:51:51His transparent wolf

00:51:52hovered behind him.

00:51:54We all knew

00:51:55the beast

00:51:55would have the final say.

00:51:58And I was the one

00:51:59they both chose.

00:52:01This one.

00:52:04The starting price

00:52:05for that one,

00:52:06my Alpha,

00:52:06is a million gold coins.

00:52:08The other bidders gasped.

00:52:10Nobody else dared to bid.

00:52:12Alpha Lydon's gaze

00:52:13burned deep into my soul.

00:52:16His wolf released

00:52:18a low howl.

00:52:19The crimson thread

00:52:20of the mate bond

00:52:21erupted from our fingertips

00:52:22and braided into

00:52:23the tight cord

00:52:24meant to bind us together

00:52:25for eternity.

00:52:27The auctioneer

00:52:28slammed down his gavern.

00:52:30Shimmering gold coins

00:52:31cascaded from the sky.

00:52:33Sold!

00:52:34The servants rushed

00:52:35with wheelbarrows

00:52:36to haul away

00:52:37the pile of coins.

00:52:38Alpha Lyle

00:52:39helped me to my feet.

00:52:41He lifted my chin.

00:52:43I dared risk a smile.

00:52:45The moon goddess

00:52:46has blessed us.

00:52:47His low growl

00:52:48promised a lifetime

00:52:49of blessings.

00:52:49The great hall

00:52:50of Black Claw Castle

00:52:51was packed

00:52:52shoulder to shoulder.

00:52:53Nobles and warriors

00:52:54alike crowding

00:52:55the marble floor

00:52:56to witness the fall

00:52:57of their Alpha's mate.

00:52:58And I was the one

00:53:00on display.

00:53:00I gave you airs.

00:53:02My voice was steady

00:53:03but I was breaking.

00:53:04You can't throw me away

00:53:05like I mean nothing.

00:53:06I'm your mate!

00:53:08No, Elena.

00:53:09You're nothing.

00:53:14Lyle pulled Rowena closer.

00:53:16Another Omega,

00:53:18safe in his arms.

00:53:19While I could only watch.

00:53:20My fists clenched

00:53:22as memories flooded me.

00:53:23You chose me!

00:53:25Every single one of them,

00:53:26nothing but a lie.

00:53:28The great hall

00:53:30of Black Claw Castle.

00:53:32You can't break

00:53:33the mate bond, Lyle.

00:53:35As Alpha of this pack,

00:53:37I do as I please.

00:53:44Rowena simpered.

00:53:46Diamonds glittered

00:53:46around her neck.

00:53:47But love cannot be

00:53:49measured in diamonds.

00:53:50Not even in words.

00:53:52It can only be measured

00:53:53in actions.

00:53:55Lyle addressed

00:53:56the crowd of nobles.

00:53:57Elina Omega

00:53:58is no longer

00:53:59my mate.

00:54:01Instead,

00:54:02I take.

00:54:04He kissed Rolina.

00:54:06I covered my mouth,

00:54:07eyes wide with grief.

00:54:09Everyone watched,

00:54:11waiting for me to shatter.

00:54:12I forced my hand down.

00:54:14Rowena Omega

00:54:15is my new mate.

00:54:21Lyle walked to stand

00:54:22a few inches from me.

00:54:24Your body provided me

00:54:25with five fine children.

00:54:26I've no more need

00:54:27for you.

00:54:28As the mother

00:54:29of my heirs,

00:54:30you'll be permitted

00:54:31to remain

00:54:31in the Black Claw pack.

00:54:33But...

00:54:34His eyes blazed

00:54:35icy blue.

00:54:36You're no longer

00:54:37my mate.

00:54:38Crimson cords

00:54:39entwined from our fingertips

00:54:40but instantly

00:54:41snapped apart.

00:54:42I staggered.

00:54:44My hand gripped

00:54:45my heart.

00:54:45Lyle turned his back,

00:54:47unmoved by my pain.

00:54:48But...

00:54:49My uncle has no mate.

00:54:51I'm giving you to him.

00:54:52His uncle?

00:54:53Finn Blackclaw?

00:54:55He is the true

00:54:56Lycan king.

00:54:57The most feared warrior

00:54:58and the war god

00:54:59the Seven Territories

00:55:00once knelt to.

00:55:02That was before.

00:55:03When he vanished

00:55:04on the battlefield,

00:55:05Alpha Lyle took up

00:55:06the Pax throne

00:55:06in his stead.

00:55:08Goddess above,

00:55:10did our Alpha

00:55:10really just hand her off

00:55:11to a man

00:55:12who'd vanished

00:55:12off the battlefield.

00:55:14And what of her

00:55:15five children?

00:55:16Poor little things.

00:55:18Motherless in all

00:55:19but blood.

00:55:20Fatherless in all

00:55:21but name.

00:55:22Every word

00:55:23landed like a stone.

00:55:24I grabbed Lyle's sleeve

00:55:25to stop him.

00:55:26He yanked free

00:55:27with Alpha strength.

00:55:29His blazing blue gaze

00:55:31pierced me to the core

00:55:32but I didn't let go.

00:55:34Lyle,

00:55:35Finn Blackclaw

00:55:36disappeared in battle

00:55:36five years ago!

00:55:38His sneer of disgust

00:55:39broke me harder.

00:55:40He'd forgotten

00:55:41the nights of pleasure

00:55:42we shared

00:55:42but I never would.

00:55:44Then you'll have

00:55:45the manor house

00:55:46to yourself.

00:55:47He returned

00:55:48to his new mate.

00:55:49I pictured Finn Blackclorn

00:55:51hair black as night

00:55:53amber eyes.

00:55:55He'd been watching me

00:55:56the day Lyle bought me

00:55:57at the auction

00:55:57never looking away

00:55:59and then he disappeared.

00:56:02Finn Blackcloth

00:56:03had paced the rows

00:56:04of glass cages

00:56:05in the Omega auction.

00:56:06His gray wolf

00:56:07loomed behind him.

00:56:08He studied me

00:56:10for hours

00:56:10never speaking.

00:56:13I'd trembled

00:56:14at the orange blaze

00:56:15in his eyes.

00:56:16I thought he'd

00:56:16bid on me

00:56:17but after Lyle bought me

00:56:19Finn disappeared.

00:56:21Rumors said

00:56:21he'd been slaughtered

00:56:22in battle.

00:56:24Rowena glared

00:56:25as I addressed Lyle

00:56:26in a hard,

00:56:27clear voice.

00:56:28If I'm to be

00:56:29tossed aside

00:56:29like trash

00:56:30I demand our bond

00:56:32be stricken

00:56:32from the Blackclog register.

00:56:34Nobles murmured.

00:56:36The Elder

00:56:36stepped forward.

00:56:39magic sparkled

00:56:40from her fingertip

00:56:41as a massive

00:56:42book appeared.

00:56:44Pages flipped

00:56:44to reveal our names

00:56:45in glimmering script.

00:56:55Alpha Lyot

00:56:56you've broken the bond

00:56:57with Elena Omega.

00:56:59Your names

00:56:59will be stricken

00:57:00from the register

00:57:01as demanded

00:57:02by the moon goddess

00:57:03for those who deny

00:57:03her blessings.

00:57:04It can never be restored.

00:57:07Lyot looked deeply

00:57:08into Rowena's eyes

00:57:09without even looking

00:57:10at me.

00:57:11Lyot barked out.

00:57:12Sever it old woman.

00:57:13The gathered nobles

00:57:14gasped in shock.

00:57:15The Elder mimicked

00:57:16tearing the pages

00:57:17from the book.

00:57:18Hanging in the air

00:57:19the letters of my name

00:57:20burned.

00:57:21As each letter

00:57:22turned to ash

00:57:22I jerked

00:57:23with fresh agonies.

00:57:24I went to my knees

00:57:25head bound.

00:57:26It is done.

00:57:27A vision appeared

00:57:28of my weeping

00:57:29four year old

00:57:29cantelets.

00:57:31Benjamin,

00:57:31Edward,

00:57:32Alexander,

00:57:33Sebastian,

00:57:34and little Seraphina.

00:57:36Their eyes blazed

00:57:38the same as their fathers.

00:57:39My name again.

00:57:40But this time

00:57:41I was joined with Finn.

00:57:43It's done.

00:57:44When our Lycan king

00:57:45returns from the war

00:57:46the mating shall be completed.

00:57:48Hushed voices murmured.

00:57:49I staggered upright.

00:57:51Tears streaked my cheeks.

00:57:52The book vanished

00:57:53in a flash of crimson

00:57:54and gold sparks.

00:57:55Lyos' wolf appeared

00:57:56with a mournful howl.

00:57:59Lyos' face twisted

00:58:00with a sudden realization.

00:58:01He gave me away.

00:58:02He could never

00:58:03get me back.

00:58:05In the morning

00:58:06servants tossed

00:58:07my belongings

00:58:08into the courtyard.

00:58:09A lifetime

00:58:10thrown away like trash.

00:58:11Once I'd been

00:58:12their beloved

00:58:12Alpha's mate.

00:58:13Now I was nothing.

00:58:15They wouldn't even

00:58:16meet my eyes.

00:58:17Like their Alpha

00:58:18they had a new mistress now.

00:58:19I'd planted medicinal herbs

00:58:21so I could take care

00:58:22of my five children

00:58:22and their father

00:58:23and Rowena ordered

00:58:24every single plant

00:58:25torn up by its roots.

00:58:26Rip it all out.

00:58:28It's ugly.

00:58:28She watched

00:58:29with a cruel smile

00:58:30as my entire world

00:58:31was destroyed.

00:58:32My weeping children

00:58:33clung to me.

00:58:34They were being ripped away

00:58:35from the only home

00:58:36they'd ever known.

00:58:37Torn up by their roots

00:58:38just like my garden.

00:58:40Rowena's cold gaze

00:58:41fell upon the wooden toy

00:58:42Lyard had carved

00:58:43when the Cantuplets

00:58:44were born.

00:58:46The small wolf posed

00:58:47with its nose

00:58:48pointed to the air

00:58:49howling.

00:58:50She picked it up

00:58:51with a snarl of disgust.

00:58:54Get rid of all this trash.

00:58:56She shattered the toy

00:58:58to splinters on the ground.

00:58:59My children wailed.

00:59:01I gathered them close.

00:59:02They were my entire life.

00:59:04Rowena.

00:59:05Rowena sneered at me.

00:59:07Enjoy the life

00:59:07you've stolen.

00:59:08I held my children close

00:59:10and jextured the hand.

00:59:11I refused to be ashamed.

00:59:13Everything worth having

00:59:14will never be yours, Rowena.

00:59:16As night fell,

00:59:17I found myself

00:59:18outside the packhouse gates.

00:59:20The townsfolk

00:59:21who once threw flowers

00:59:22to celebrate the birth

00:59:23of the Alpha's heirs

00:59:24now gathered

00:59:25to whisper and gossip.

00:59:26Nobody offered to help us.

00:59:29Where will she go?

00:59:29Five children

00:59:30at this time of night?

00:59:33Who will take her in?

00:59:36Mama?

00:59:37The firstborn Quintipets,

00:59:39Benjamin,

00:59:39tugged my skirts.

00:59:40I'm sleepy.

00:59:42In my arms,

00:59:43Selafina whimpered,

00:59:44too tired to even lift

00:59:46her head from my shoulder.

00:59:48Suddenly,

00:59:49the blare of a war horn

00:59:50echoed through

00:59:51the town's stone streets.

00:59:53Elite warriors

00:59:55on black warhorses

00:59:56galloped toward us.

00:59:59The captain dismounted

01:00:00and strode towards me.

01:00:02I gasped

01:00:03when the captain

01:00:03bowed in front of me.

01:00:06Alino Omega,

01:00:07I've been sent

01:00:08to bring you home.

01:00:09He stepped aside

01:00:09to show the carriage waiting.

01:00:11Black as midnight,

01:00:13emblessed with the ancient

01:00:15runes of Blackclaw Pack.

01:00:17At Lycan King's estate,

01:00:19vines with thorns

01:00:20the size of my arm

01:00:21twisted through

01:00:22the closed iron gates.

01:00:23No lights welcomed us

01:00:25from the manor house.

01:00:26But when I stepped out

01:00:27of the carriage,

01:00:28the gates swung open.

01:00:29The thorns became

01:00:30blooming crimson roses.

01:00:32In the courtyard,

01:00:33dusty fountains

01:00:34spouted clear water.

01:00:36My children's eyes

01:00:37grew wide

01:00:38as they followed me

01:00:39to the manor house.

01:00:41A woman with a kind face

01:00:43invited us inside.

01:00:45The estate knows

01:00:46its true mistress

01:00:47has come home.

01:00:47It has never responded

01:00:49to anyone this way before.

01:00:51I gazed in awe

01:00:52at the beautiful home.

01:00:53Through a doorway,

01:00:54I saw a room

01:00:55with walls of books,

01:00:57maps,

01:00:57and military banners.

01:00:59Curiously,

01:00:59I stepped inside.

01:01:01I gasped at the

01:01:02enormous portrait

01:01:03of me and my kids

01:01:04hanging over

01:01:04the marble fireplace.

01:01:06I'd never seen it before,

01:01:07yet it captured

01:01:08all of us

01:01:09in perfect detail.

01:01:10Alexander pointed

01:01:11at the large desk.

01:01:12Look, Mama!

01:01:13Our toys!

01:01:15Five wooden wolves,

01:01:16identical to the one

01:01:18that Rowena

01:01:18had been destroyed,

01:01:19lined up on the desk.

01:01:21The woman who'd

01:01:21answered the door

01:01:22spoke quietly.

01:01:23Lycan King made those

01:01:25when they were born.

01:01:26I don't understand.

01:01:28My heart broke again

01:01:30when I realized

01:01:30Lyle had lied

01:01:31about carving the toys.

01:01:33Come, my dears.

01:01:34I have milk and bread

01:01:35for you.

01:01:37The woman led

01:01:38my kids away.

01:01:40Finn Blackclaw

01:01:41had been missing

01:01:41since the day

01:01:42his nephew bought me.

01:01:44So how had he carved

01:01:45wooden toys

01:01:45for my quintuplets?

01:01:47And why?

01:01:49I was shocked

01:01:50to see my name

01:01:51on a sealed letter.

01:01:52I tore it open.

01:01:54Finn's voice

01:01:54filled my head

01:01:55as I read it.

01:01:56Alina,

01:01:57if you found this letter

01:01:58then my nephew

01:01:59has betrayed you.

01:02:00I always knew he would.

01:02:02Lyle believes

01:02:02possession equals love.

01:02:04One day that mistake

01:02:05will cost him

01:02:05everything he holds valuable.

01:02:07My breath caught

01:02:08as I turned the page over.

01:02:09You deserve the truth.

01:02:10The day I saw you

01:02:11in the auction arena

01:02:12I...

01:02:13A servant rushed in.

01:02:14My lady,

01:02:15the kids.

01:02:16What happened?

01:02:17Lady Rowena

01:02:18sent guards

01:02:19from the packhouse

01:02:20to take them back.

01:02:21At the packhouse

01:02:22she stood over them.

01:02:23Be grateful

01:02:24I sent for you.

01:02:25You should live

01:02:26with your father

01:02:26not your worthless mother.

01:02:28Benjamin,

01:02:29my bravest boy

01:02:30clenched his fists.

01:02:31Our mama

01:02:32is the best in the world!

01:02:33Rowena yanked him upward

01:02:35nearly lifting him

01:02:36off his feet.

01:02:36Your mother

01:02:37was tossed aside

01:02:38like the trash she is!

01:02:39My five kids

01:02:40inherited their father's strength.

01:02:42Their eyes blazed

01:02:43icy blue in unison.

01:02:45Their talons

01:02:46burst from their fingertips.

01:02:48Tiny fangs erupt.

01:02:50Fuzzy little wolf ears

01:02:51sprouted from the tops

01:02:52of their heads

01:02:53twitching with each growl.

01:02:56Don't say bad things

01:02:57about mama!

01:02:59Edward growled.

01:03:01Rowena's two guard

01:03:02looked impressed.

01:03:03The heirs truly belong

01:03:04to the Alpha.

01:03:05Their bloodline is strong.

01:03:07She shoved Edward

01:03:08to her knees.

01:03:09Sebastian lunged

01:03:10in front of his baby sister,

01:03:11taking the guard's

01:03:12rough shove

01:03:12meant for her,

01:03:13shielding Serafina

01:03:14with his own small body.

01:03:15I shoved her aside.

01:03:17She raped her nails

01:03:18across my cheek.

01:03:19Blood spattered.

01:03:20But I knelt in front

01:03:22of my pentepleks

01:03:22and gathered them close.

01:03:25Mama's here.

01:03:27Hush now.

01:03:28I wiped their tears.

01:03:30Suddenly a flare

01:03:31of crimson thread

01:03:32woven around my arm.

01:03:33A bond I didn't

01:03:35yet understand,

01:03:36reaching for me

01:03:36from somewhere far away.

01:03:38What's happening?

01:03:40Lyle strode

01:03:40with alpha grace

01:03:41toward us.

01:03:42Rowena's face

01:03:43turned pale.

01:03:44Her eyes widened.

01:03:46Lyle!

01:03:55Lyle!

01:03:57Five years ago,

01:03:59the auction house

01:04:00reeked of sweat

01:04:01and fear.

01:04:01Rows of cages

01:04:02lined beneath flickering torchlight

01:04:04where omegas were paraded

01:04:05like livestock

01:04:05before the highest bidder.

01:04:07Rough hands tore me

01:04:08from my glass cage.

01:04:10The guards pushed me

01:04:11into line

01:04:11with the other omegas.

01:04:13I blinked beneath

01:04:14the bright lights

01:04:15while the bidders

01:04:15all gossiped.

01:04:17That one looks expensive.

01:04:19She'll breed fine pups.

01:04:21The blight that had left

01:04:23most female wolves

01:04:24barren in Blackclaw

01:04:25meant only omegas

01:04:26could breed.

01:04:27I'd never dreamed

01:04:28the Blackclaw alpha

01:04:29would take me as his own.

01:04:32I knelt beside

01:04:33the other omegas.

01:04:35Lyle Blackclaw

01:04:36paced the row.

01:04:37His transparent wolf

01:04:39hovered behind him.

01:04:41We all knew

01:04:42the beast

01:04:42would have the final say.

01:04:45And I was the one

01:04:46they both chose.

01:04:47This one.

01:04:50The starting price

01:04:52for that one,

01:04:52my alpha,

01:04:53is a million gold coins.

01:04:55The other bidders gasped.

01:04:56Nobody else dared to bid.

01:04:58Alpha Leiden's gaze

01:04:59burned deep

01:05:00into my soul.

01:05:03His wolf released

01:05:04a low howl.

01:05:05The crimson thread

01:05:07of the mate bond

01:05:07erupted from our fingertips

01:05:09and braided into

01:05:10the tight cord

01:05:11meant to bind us together

01:05:12for eternity.

01:05:14The auctioneer

01:05:14slammed down his gavern.

01:05:16Shimmering gold coins

01:05:18cascaded from the sky.

01:05:20Salt!

01:05:21The servants rushed

01:05:22with wheelbarrows

01:05:23to haul away

01:05:23the pile of coins.

01:05:25Alpha Leiden's

01:05:26helped me to my feet.

01:05:28He lifted my chin.

01:05:30I dared risk a smile.

01:05:32The moon goddess

01:05:32has blessed us.

01:05:33His low growl

01:05:34promised a lifetime

01:05:35of blessings.

01:05:36The great hall

01:05:37of Blackclaw Castle

01:05:38was packed

01:05:38shoulder to shoulder.

01:05:40Nobles and warriors

01:05:41alike crowding

01:05:42the marble floor

01:05:43to witness the fall

01:05:43of their alpha's mate.

01:05:45And I was the one

01:05:46on display.

01:05:47I gave you airs.

01:05:48My voice was steady

01:05:49but I was breaking.

01:05:51You can't throw me away

01:05:51like I mean nothing.

01:05:53I'm your mate!

01:05:54No, Elena.

01:05:56You're nothing.

01:06:01Lyle pulled Rowena

01:06:02closer.

01:06:03Another Omega

01:06:04safe in his arms

01:06:05while I could only watch.

01:06:07My fists clenched

01:06:08as memories flooded me.

01:06:10You chose me!

01:06:11Every single one of them

01:06:13nothing but a lie.

01:06:15The great hall

01:06:16of Blackclaw Castle.

01:06:18You can't break

01:06:20the mate bond, Lyle.

01:06:22As alpha of this pack

01:06:23I do as I please.

01:06:30Rowena simpered.

01:06:32Diamonds glittered

01:06:33around her neck.

01:06:34But love cannot be

01:06:35measured in diamonds.

01:06:37Not even in words.

01:06:39It can only be

01:06:39measured in actions.

01:06:42Lyle addressed

01:06:42the crowd of nobles.

01:06:44Elena Omega

01:06:45is no longer my mate.

01:06:48Instead

01:06:48I take.

01:06:51He kissed

01:06:52Rowena.

01:06:52I covered my mouth

01:06:54eyes wide

01:06:55with grief.

01:06:56Everyone watched

01:06:57waiting for me

01:06:58to shatter.

01:06:59I forced my hand down.

01:07:01Rowena Omega

01:07:02is my new mate.

01:07:07Lyle walked

01:07:08to stand

01:07:09a few inches

01:07:09from me.

01:07:10Your body

01:07:11provided me

01:07:11with five fine children.

01:07:13I've no more

01:07:14need for you.

01:07:14As the mother

01:07:15of my heirs

01:07:16you'll be permitted

01:07:18to remain

01:07:18in the Black Claw pack.

01:07:20But

01:07:20His eyes blazed

01:07:22icy blue.

01:07:23You're no longer

01:07:24my mate.

01:07:24Crimson cords

01:07:25entwined from our

01:07:26fingertips

01:07:27but instantly

01:07:27snapped apart.

01:07:29I staggered.

01:07:30My hand gripped

01:07:31my heart.

01:07:32Lyle turned his back

01:07:33unmoved by my pain.

01:07:35But

01:07:35my uncle

01:07:36has no mate.

01:07:37I'm giving you

01:07:38to him.

01:07:39His uncle?

01:07:40Finn Black Claw?

01:07:41He is the true

01:07:42Lycan king.

01:07:43The most feared warrior

01:07:45and the war god

01:07:46the seven territories

01:07:47once knelt to.

01:07:48That was before.

01:07:50When he vanished

01:07:51on the battlefield

01:07:51Alpha Lyle took up

01:07:52the pack's throne

01:07:53in his stead.

01:07:55Goddess above.

01:07:56Did our Alpha

01:07:57really just hand her off

01:07:58to a man who'd

01:07:59vanished off

01:07:59the battlefield?

01:08:01And what of her

01:08:01five children?

01:08:02Poor little things.

01:08:05Motherless

01:08:05in all but blood.

01:08:07Fatherless

01:08:07in all but name.

01:08:09Every word

01:08:09landed like a stone.

01:08:10I grabbed Lyle's sleeve

01:08:12to stop him.

01:08:13He yanked free

01:08:14with Alpha strength.

01:08:16His blazing blue gaze

01:08:17pierced me to the core

01:08:18but I didn't let go.

01:08:21Lyle!

01:08:21Finn Black Claw

01:08:22disappeared in battle

01:08:23five years ago!

01:08:24His sneer of disgust

01:08:25broke me harder.

01:08:27He'd forgotten

01:08:27the nights of pleasure

01:08:28we shared

01:08:29but I never would.

01:08:31Then you'll have

01:08:32the manor house

01:08:32to yourself.

01:08:34He returned

01:08:35to his new mate.

01:08:36I pictured Finn Blackclorn

01:08:38hair black as night

01:08:40amber eyes.

01:08:41He'd been watching me

01:08:42the day Lyle bought me

01:08:43at the auction

01:08:44never looking away

01:08:45and then he disappeared.

01:08:48Finn Blackcloth

01:08:50had paced the rows

01:08:51of glass cages

01:08:51in the Omega auction.

01:08:53His gray wolf

01:08:54loomed behind him.

01:08:55He studied me

01:08:56for hours

01:08:57never speaking.

01:09:00I'd trembled

01:09:00at the orange blaze

01:09:01in his eyes.

01:09:02I thought he'd bid on me

01:09:04but after Lyle bought me

01:09:05Finn disappeared.

01:09:07Rumors said

01:09:08he'd been slaughtered

01:09:09in battle.

01:09:11Rowena glared

01:09:12as I addressed Lyle

01:09:13in a hard, clear voice.

01:09:15If I'm to be tossed aside

01:09:16like trash

01:09:17I demand our bond

01:09:18be stricken

01:09:19from the Blackclog register.

01:09:21Nobles murmured.

01:09:22The Elder stepped forward.

01:09:26Magic sparkled

01:09:27from her fingertip

01:09:28as a massive book appeared.

01:09:30Pages flipped

01:09:31to reveal our names

01:09:32in glimmering script.

01:09:41Alpha Lyot

01:09:42you've broken the bond

01:09:44with Elena Omega.

01:09:45Your names

01:09:46will be stricken

01:09:47from the register

01:09:47as demanded

01:09:48by the Moon Goddess

01:09:49for those who deny

01:09:50her blessings.

01:09:51It can never be restored.

01:09:53Lyot looked deeply

01:09:54into Rowena's eyes

01:09:55without even looking at me.

01:09:57Lyot barked out.

01:09:58Sever it, old woman.

01:09:59The gathered nobles

01:10:01gasped in shock.

01:10:02The Elder mimicked

01:10:03tearing the pages

01:10:04from the book.

01:10:04Hanging in the air

01:10:05the letters of my name

01:10:06burned.

01:10:07As each letter

01:10:08turned to ash

01:10:09I jerked with fresh agonies.

01:10:11I went to my knees

01:10:12headbound.

01:10:13It is done!

01:10:14A vision appeared

01:10:15of my weeping

01:10:15four-year-old

01:10:16cantelets.

01:10:17Benjamin, Edward,

01:10:19Alexander, Sebastian

01:10:20and little Seraphina.

01:10:23Their eyes blazed

01:10:24the same as their fathers.

01:10:26My name again.

01:10:27But this time

01:10:28I was joined with Finn.

01:10:29It's done.

01:10:30When our Lycan king

01:10:31returns from the war

01:10:32the mating shall be completed.

01:10:35Hushed voices murmured.

01:10:36I staggered upright.

01:10:37Tears streaked my cheeks.

01:10:39The book vanished

01:10:39in a flash of crimson

01:10:41and gold sparks.

01:10:42Lyot's wolf appeared

01:10:43with a mournful howl.

01:10:45Lyot's face twisted

01:10:46with a sudden realization.

01:10:48He gave me away.

01:10:49He could never get me back.

01:10:52In the morning

01:10:53servants tossed my belongings

01:10:54into the courtyard.

01:10:55A lifetime

01:10:56thrown away like trash.

01:10:58Once I'd been their

01:10:59beloved Alpha's mate.

01:11:00Now I was nothing.

01:11:01They wouldn't even

01:11:02meet my eyes.

01:11:03Like their Alpha

01:11:04they had a new mistress now.

01:11:06I'd planted medicinal herbs

01:11:07so I could take care

01:11:08of my five children

01:11:09and their father

01:11:10and Rowena ordered

01:11:11every single plant

01:11:12torn up by its roots.

01:11:13Rip it all out.

01:11:14It's ugly.

01:11:15She watched with a cruel smile

01:11:16as my entire world

01:11:18was destroyed.

01:11:19My weeping children

01:11:20clung to me.

01:11:21They were being ripped away

01:11:22from the only home

01:11:23they'd ever known.

01:11:24Torn up by their roots.

01:11:25Just like my garden.

01:11:27Rowena's cold gaze

01:11:28fell upon the wooden toy

01:11:29Lyot had carved

01:11:30when the Cantuplets

01:11:31were born.

01:11:32The small wolf posed

01:11:34with its nose pointed

01:11:35to the air

01:11:35howling.

01:11:37She picked it up

01:11:38with a snarl of disgust.

01:11:40Get rid of all this trash.

01:11:43She shattered the toy

01:11:44to splinters on the ground.

01:11:46My children wailed.

01:11:47I gathered them close.

01:11:49They were my entire life.

01:11:50Rowena.

01:11:52Rowena sneered at me.

01:11:53Enjoy the life you've stolen.

01:11:55I held my children close

01:11:56and jextured the hand.

01:11:58I refused to be ashamed.

01:12:00Everything worth having

01:12:01will never be yours, Rowena.

01:12:03As night fell

01:12:04I found myself

01:12:05outside the packhouse gates.

01:12:07The townsfolk

01:12:08who once threw flowers

01:12:09to celebrate the birth

01:12:10of the Alpha's heirs

01:12:11now gathered to whisper

01:12:12and gossip.

01:12:13Nobody offered to help us.

01:12:15Where will she go?

01:12:16Five children

01:12:17at this time of night?

01:12:19Who will take her in?

01:12:22Mama?

01:12:23The firstborn Quintipets

01:12:25Benjamin tugged my skirts.

01:12:27I'm sleepy.

01:12:29In my arms

01:12:30Selafina whimpered

01:12:31too tired to even lift

01:12:32her head from my shoulder.

01:12:34Suddenly

01:12:35the blare of a war horn

01:12:37echoed through

01:12:37the town's stone streets.

01:12:40Elite warriors

01:12:41on black war horses

01:12:42galloped toward us.

01:12:45The captain dismounted

01:12:47and strode towards me.

01:12:49I gasped

01:12:49when the captain

01:12:50bowed in front of me.

01:12:52Elino Omega

01:12:53I've been sent

01:12:54to bring you home.

01:12:55He stepped aside

01:12:56to show the carriage waiting.

01:12:58Black as midnight

01:13:00emblessed with the

01:13:01ancient runes

01:13:02of Blackclaw Pack.

01:13:03At Lycan King's estate

01:13:05vines with thorns

01:13:06the size of my arm

01:13:08twisted through

01:13:08the closed iron gates.

01:13:10No lights welcomed us

01:13:11from the manor house.

01:13:12But when I stepped

01:13:13out of the carriage

01:13:14the gates swung open.

01:13:16The thorns

01:13:16became blooming

01:13:17crimson roses.

01:13:18In the courtyard

01:13:19dusty fountains

01:13:21spouted clear water.

01:13:23My children's eyes

01:13:24grew wide

01:13:25as they followed me

01:13:26to the manor house.

01:13:28A woman with a kind face

01:13:30invited us inside.

01:13:31The estate knows

01:13:33its true mistress

01:13:33has come home.

01:13:34It has never responded

01:13:36to anyone this way before.

01:13:37I gazed in awe

01:13:38at the beautiful home.

01:13:40Through a doorway

01:13:41I saw a room

01:13:42with walls of books

01:13:43maps

01:13:44and military banners.

01:13:45Curiously

01:13:46I stepped inside.

01:13:47I gasped

01:13:48at the enormous

01:13:49portrait of me

01:13:50and my kids

01:13:50hanging over

01:13:51the marble fireplace.

01:13:52I'd never seen it before

01:13:53yet it captured

01:13:55all of us

01:13:55in perfect detail.

01:13:57Alexander pointed

01:13:57at the large desk.

01:13:59Look mama

01:14:00our toys!

01:14:01Five wooden wolves

01:14:03identical to the one

01:14:04that Rowena

01:14:05had been destroyed

01:14:05lined up on the desk.

01:14:07The woman

01:14:08who'd answered

01:14:08the door

01:14:09spoke quietly.

01:14:10Lycan King

01:14:11made those

01:14:11when they were born.

01:14:13I don't understand.

01:14:15My heart broke again

01:14:16when I realized

01:14:17Lyall had lied

01:14:18about carving the toys.

01:14:19Come my dears

01:14:21I have milk and bread

01:14:22for you.

01:14:24The woman

01:14:25led my kids away.

01:14:26Finn Blackclaw

01:14:27had been missing

01:14:28since the day

01:14:29his nephew bought me.

01:14:30So how had he carved

01:14:31wooden toys

01:14:32for my quintuplets?

01:14:34And why?

01:14:36I was shocked

01:14:37to see my name

01:14:38on a sealed letter.

01:14:39I tore it open.

01:14:40Finn's voice

01:14:41filled my head

01:14:41as I read it.

01:14:43Alina

01:14:43if you found

01:14:44this letter

01:14:45then my nephew

01:14:45has betrayed you.

01:14:46I always knew

01:14:47he would.

01:14:48Lyall believes

01:14:49possession equals love.

01:14:50One day

01:14:51that mistake

01:14:51will cost him

01:14:52everything he holds

01:14:53valuable.

01:14:53My breath caught

01:14:54as I turned

01:14:55the page over.

01:14:56You deserve the truth.

01:14:57The day I saw you

01:14:58in the auction arena

01:14:59I...

01:14:59A servant rushed in.

01:15:01My lady the kids!

01:15:03What happened?

01:15:04Lady Rowena

01:15:05sent guards

01:15:06from the packhouse

01:15:06to take them back.

01:15:07At the packhouse

01:15:08she stood over them.

01:15:10Be grateful

01:15:10I sent for you.

01:15:11You should live

01:15:12with your father

01:15:13not your worthless mother.

01:15:15Benjamin,

01:15:15my bravest boy

01:15:16clenched his fists.

01:15:18Our mama

01:15:18is the best

01:15:19in the world!

01:15:20Rowena yanked him upward

01:15:21nearly lifting him

01:15:22off his feet.

01:15:23Your mother

01:15:24was tossed aside

01:15:25like the trash she is!

01:15:26My five kids

01:15:27inherited their

01:15:28father's strength.

01:15:29Their eyes blazed

01:15:30icy blue in unison.

01:15:32Their talons

01:15:33burst from their

01:15:34fingertips.

01:15:35Tiny fangs erupt.

01:15:37Fuzzy little wolf ears

01:15:38sprouted from the tops

01:15:39of their heads

01:15:40twitching with each

01:15:41growl.

01:15:43Don't say bad things

01:15:44about mama!

01:15:46Edward growled.

01:15:48Rowena's two guard

01:15:49looked impressed.

01:15:50The heirs truly belong

01:15:51to the Alpha.

01:15:52Their bloodline is strong.

01:15:53She shoved Edward

01:15:54to her knees.

01:15:55Sebastian lunged

01:15:56in front of his baby sister

01:15:57taking the guard's

01:15:58rough shove

01:15:59meant for her

01:15:59shielding Serafina

01:16:00with his own small body.

01:16:02I shoved her aside.

01:16:04She raped her nails

01:16:05across my cheek.

01:16:06Blood spattered.

01:16:07But I knelt in front

01:16:08of my penteplecs

01:16:09and gathered them close.

01:16:12Mama's here.

01:16:13Hush now.

01:16:15I wiped their tears.

01:16:17Suddenly a flare

01:16:18of crimson thread

01:16:19woven around my arm.

01:16:20A bond I didn't

01:16:21yet understand.

01:16:22Reaching for me

01:16:23from somewhere far away.

01:16:25What's happening?

01:16:26Lyle strode

01:16:27with Alpha Grace

01:16:28toward us.

01:16:29Rowena's face

01:16:30turned pale.

01:16:31Her eyes widened.

01:16:32Lyle!

01:16:44Five years ago

01:16:45the auction house

01:16:46reeked of sweat

01:16:47and fear.

01:16:48Rows of cages

01:16:49lined beneath flickering

01:16:50torchlight

01:16:50where Omegas

01:16:51were paraded

01:16:51like livestock

01:16:52before the highest bidder.

01:16:54Rough hands

01:16:54tore me from my glass cage.

01:16:56The guards pushed me

01:16:57into line

01:16:58with the other Omegas.

01:17:00I blinked

01:17:01beneath the bright lights

01:17:02while the bidders

01:17:02all gossiped.

01:17:03That one looks expensive.

01:17:06She'll breed fine pups.

01:17:08The blight

01:17:09that had left

01:17:09most female wolves

01:17:10barren in Blackclaw

01:17:11meant only Omegas

01:17:12could breed.

01:17:13I'd never dreamed

01:17:14the Blackclaw Alpha

01:17:15would take me

01:17:16as his own.

01:17:18I knelt beside

01:17:19the other Omegas.

01:17:21Lyle Blackclaw

01:17:22paced the row.

01:17:24His transparent wolf

01:17:26hovered behind him.

01:17:27We all knew

01:17:28the beast

01:17:29would have the final say.

01:17:31And I was the one

01:17:32they both chose.

01:17:34This one.

01:17:37The starting price

01:17:38for that one

01:17:39my Alpha

01:17:39is a million gold coins.

01:17:41The other bidders

01:17:42gasped.

01:17:43Nobody else

01:17:44dared to bid.

01:17:45Alpha Leiden's gaze

01:17:46burned deep

01:17:46into my soul.

01:17:50His wolf

01:17:51released a low howl.

01:17:52The crimson thread

01:17:53of the mate bond

01:17:54erupted from our fingertips

01:17:55and braided

01:17:56into the tight cord

01:17:57meant to bind us together

01:17:58for eternity.

01:18:00The auctioneer

01:18:01slammed down

01:18:02his gavern.

01:18:03Shimmering gold coins

01:18:04cascaded from the sky.

01:18:06Salt!

01:18:08The servants

01:18:08rushed with wheelbarrows

01:18:10to haul away

01:18:10the pile of coins.

01:18:12Alpha Lyle

01:18:12helped me to my feet.

01:18:15He lifted my chin.

01:18:16I dared risk a smile.

01:18:18The moon goddess

01:18:19has blessed us.

01:18:20His low growl

01:18:21promised a lifetime

01:18:22of blessings.

01:18:23The great hall

01:18:23of Blackclaw Castle

01:18:24was packed

01:18:25shoulder to shoulder.

01:18:27Nobles and warriors

01:18:28alike crowding

01:18:28the marble floor

01:18:29to witness the fall

01:18:30of their Alpha's mate.

01:18:32And I was the one

01:18:33on display.

01:18:34I gave you airs.

01:18:35My voice was steady

01:18:36but I was breaking.

01:18:37You can't throw me away

01:18:38like I mean nothing.

01:18:39I'm your mate!

01:18:41No, Elena.

01:18:43You're nothing.

01:18:48Lyle pulled Rowena closer.

01:18:50Another Omega,

01:18:51safe in his arms.

01:18:52While I could only watch.

01:18:54My fists clenched

01:18:55as memories flooded me.

01:18:56You chose me!

01:18:58Every single one of them.

01:19:00Nothing but a lie.

01:19:02The great hall

01:19:03of Blackclaw Castle.

01:19:05You can't break

01:19:06the mate bond, Lyle.

01:19:08As Alpha of this pack,

01:19:10I do as I please.

01:19:17Rowena simpered.

01:19:19Diamonds glittered

01:19:20around her neck.

01:19:21But love cannot be

01:19:22measured in diamonds.

01:19:24Not even in words.

01:19:25It can only be measured

01:19:26in actions.

01:19:28Lyle addressed

01:19:29the crowd of nobles.

01:19:30Elena Omega

01:19:31is no longer my mate.

01:19:34Instead,

01:19:35I take.

01:19:37He kissed Rowena.

01:19:39I covered my mouth,

01:19:41eyes wide with grief.

01:19:42Everyone watched,

01:19:44waiting for me to shatter.

01:19:45I forced my hand down.

01:19:47Rowena Omega

01:19:48is my new mate!

01:19:54Lyle walked to stand

01:19:55a few inches from me.

01:19:57Your body provided me

01:19:58with five fine children.

01:20:00I've no more need for you.

01:20:01As the mother of my heirs,

01:20:03you'll be permitted to remain

01:20:05in the Blackclaw pack.

01:20:06But...

01:20:07His eyes blazed icy blue.

01:20:09You're no longer my mate.

01:20:11Crimson cords entwined

01:20:12from our fingertips,

01:20:13but instantly snapped apart.

01:20:16I staggered.

01:20:17My hand gripped my heart.

01:20:19Lyle turned his back,

01:20:20unmoved by my pain.

01:20:22But...

01:20:22My uncle has no mate.

01:20:24I'm giving you to him.

01:20:26His uncle?

01:20:27Finn Blackclaw?

01:20:28He is the true Lycan king.

01:20:30The most feared warrior

01:20:31and the war god

01:20:33the Seven Territories

01:20:34once knelt to.

01:20:35That was before.

01:20:36When he vanished

01:20:37on the battlefield,

01:20:38Alpha Lyle took up

01:20:39the Pax throne

01:20:40in his stead.

01:20:41Goddess above.

01:20:43Did our Alpha

01:20:44really just hand her off

01:20:45to a man who'd

01:20:45vanished off the battlefield?

01:20:47And what of her five children?

01:20:49Poor little things.

01:20:51Motherless in all but blood.

01:20:53Fatherless in all but name.

01:20:55Every word landed like a stone.

01:20:57I grabbed Lyle's sleeve

01:20:59to stop him.

01:21:00He yanked free

01:21:00with Alpha strength.

01:21:02His blazing blue gaze

01:21:04pierced me to the core,

01:21:05but I didn't let go.

01:21:07Lyle,

01:21:08Finn Blackclaw disappeared

01:21:09in battle five years ago.

01:21:11His sneer of disgust

01:21:12broke me harder.

01:21:13He'd forgotten

01:21:14the nights of pleasure

01:21:15we shared,

01:21:16but I never would.

01:21:18Then you'll have

01:21:18the manor house

01:21:19to yourself.

01:21:20He returned

01:21:21to his new mate.

01:21:23I pictured Finn Blackclorn,

01:21:25hair black as night,

01:21:27amber eyes.

01:21:28He'd been watching me

01:21:29the day Lyle bought me

01:21:30at the auction,

01:21:31never looking away.

01:21:32And then he disappeared.

01:21:35Finn Blackcloth

01:21:36had paced the rows

01:21:37of glass cages

01:21:38in the Omega auction.

01:21:39His gray wolf

01:21:40loomed behind him.

01:21:42He studied me

01:21:43for hours,

01:21:44never speaking.

01:21:46I'd trembled

01:21:47at the orange blaze

01:21:48in his eyes.

01:21:49I thought he'd bid on me,

01:21:50but after Lyle bought me,

01:21:52Finn disappeared.

01:21:54Rumors said

01:21:55he'd been slaughtered

01:21:55in battle.

01:21:57Rowena glared

01:21:58as I addressed Lyle

01:21:59in a hard,

01:22:00clear voice.

01:22:01If I'm to be tossed aside

01:22:02like trash,

01:22:04I demand our bond

01:22:05be stricken

01:22:05from the Blackclog register.

01:22:08Nobles murmured.

01:22:09The Elder stepped forward.

01:22:12Magic sparkled

01:22:13from her fingertips

01:22:14as a massive book appeared.

01:22:16Pages flipped

01:22:17to reveal our names

01:22:18in glimmering script.

01:22:28Alpha Lyot,

01:22:29you've broken the bond

01:22:30with Elena Omega.

01:22:32Your names

01:22:33will be stricken

01:22:33from the register

01:22:34as demanded

01:22:35by the Moon Goddess

01:22:36for those who deny

01:22:37her blessings.

01:22:37It can never be restored.

01:22:40Lyot looked deeply

01:22:41into Rowena's eyes.

01:22:42Without even looking at me,

01:22:44Lyot barked out.

01:22:45Sever it,

01:22:45old woman.

01:22:46The gathered nobles

01:22:47gasped in shock.

01:22:48The Elder mimicked

01:22:49tearing the pages

01:22:50from the book.

01:22:51Hanging in the air,

01:22:52the letters of my name

01:22:53burned.

01:22:54As each letter

01:22:55turned to ash,

01:22:56I jerked with fresh agonies.

01:22:57I went to my knees,

01:22:58headbound.

01:22:59It is done!

01:23:00A vision appeared

01:23:01of my weeping

01:23:02four-year-old

01:23:03cantelots.

01:23:04Benjamin,

01:23:05Edward,

01:23:05Alexander,

01:23:06Sebastian,

01:23:07and little Seraphina.

01:23:10Their eyes blazed

01:23:11the same as their fathers.

01:23:12My name again.

01:23:13But this time,

01:23:14I was joined with Finn.

01:23:16It's done.

01:23:17When our Lycan king

01:23:18returns from the war,

01:23:19the mating shall be completed.

01:23:21Hushed voices murmured.

01:23:23I staggered upright.

01:23:24Tears streaked my cheeks.

01:23:25The book vanished

01:23:26in a flash of crimson

01:23:27and gold sparks.

01:23:28Lyot's wolf appeared

01:23:30with a mournful howl.

01:23:32Lyot's face twisted

01:23:33with a sudden realization.

01:23:35He gave me away.

01:23:36He could never get me back.

01:23:39In the morning,

01:23:40servants tossed my belongings

01:23:41into the courtyard.

01:23:42A lifetime thrown away

01:23:44like trash.

01:23:44Once I'd been their

01:23:45beloved Alpha's mate.

01:23:47Now, I was nothing.

01:23:48They wouldn't even meet my eyes.

01:23:50Like their Alpha,

01:23:51they had a new mistress now.

01:23:53I'd planted medicinal herbs

01:23:54so I could take care

01:23:55of my five children

01:23:56and their father.

01:23:56And Rowena ordered

01:23:57every single plant

01:23:58torn up by its roots.

01:24:00Rip it all out.

01:24:01It's ugly.

01:24:02She watched with a cruel smile

01:24:03as my entire world

01:24:04was destroyed.

01:24:05My weeping children

01:24:06clung to me.

01:24:07They were being ripped away

01:24:08from the only home

01:24:09they'd ever known.

01:24:10Torn up by their roots.

01:24:12Just like my garden,

01:24:13Rowena's cold gaze

01:24:14fell upon the wooden toy

01:24:16Liard had carved

01:24:16when the Cantuplets were born.

01:24:19The small wolf posed

01:24:20with its nose pointed

01:24:21to the air,

01:24:22howling.

01:24:23She picked it up

01:24:24with a snarl of disgust.

01:24:27Get rid of all this trash.

01:24:29She shattered the toy

01:24:31to splinters on the ground.

01:24:32My children wailed.

01:24:34I gathered them close.

01:24:35They were my entire life.

01:24:37Rowena.

01:24:38Rowena sneered at me.

01:24:40Enjoy the life

01:24:41you've stolen.

01:24:42I held my children close

01:24:43and jextured the hand.

01:24:44I refused to be ashamed.

01:24:47Everything worth having

01:24:48will never be yours,

01:24:49Rowena.

01:24:50As night fell,

01:24:50I found myself

01:24:51outside the packhouse gates.

01:24:53The townsfolk

01:24:54who once threw flowers

01:24:56to celebrate the birth

01:24:57of the Alpha's heirs

01:24:57now gathered

01:24:58to whisper and gossip.

01:25:00Nobody offered

01:25:01to help us.

01:25:02Where will she go?

01:25:03Five children

01:25:04at this time of night?

01:25:06Who will take her in?

01:25:09Mama?

01:25:10The firstborn Quintipets,

01:25:12Benjamin,

01:25:12tugged my skirts.

01:25:13I'm sleepy.

01:25:15In my arms,

01:25:17Selafina whimpered,

01:25:18too tired to even

01:25:19lift her head

01:25:19from my shoulder.

01:25:21Suddenly,

01:25:22the blare of a warhorn

01:25:23echoed through

01:25:24the town's stone streets.

01:25:27Elite warriors

01:25:28on black warhorses

01:25:29galloped toward us.

01:25:32The captain dismounted

01:25:34and strode towards me.

01:25:35I gasped

01:25:36when the captain

01:25:37bowed in front of me.

01:25:39Elino Omega,

01:25:40I've been sent

01:25:41to bring you home.

01:25:42He stepped aside

01:25:43to show the carriage waiting.

01:25:45Black as midnight,

01:25:47emblessed with the ancient

01:25:48runes of Blackclaw Pack.

01:25:50At Lycan King's estate,

01:25:52vines with thorns

01:25:53the size of my arm

01:25:54twisted through

01:25:55the closed iron gates.

01:25:56No lights welcomed us

01:25:58from the manor house.

01:25:59But when I stepped out

01:26:00of the carriage,

01:26:01the gates swung open.

01:26:02The thorns became

01:26:03blooming crimson roses.

01:26:05In the courtyard,

01:26:06dusty fountains

01:26:07spouted clear water.

01:26:09My children's eyes

01:26:11grew wide

01:26:11as they followed me

01:26:12to the manor house.

01:26:15A woman with a kind face

01:26:16invited us inside.

01:26:18The estate knows

01:26:19its true mistress

01:26:20has come home.

01:26:21It has never responded

01:26:22to anyone this way before.

01:26:24I gazed in awe

01:26:25at the beautiful home.

01:26:27Through a doorway,

01:26:28I saw a room

01:26:29with walls of books.

01:26:30Maps and military banners.

01:26:32Curiously,

01:26:33I stepped inside.

01:26:34I gasped

01:26:35at the enormous portrait

01:26:36of me and my kids

01:26:37hanging over

01:26:37the marble fireplace.

01:26:39I'd never seen it before,

01:26:40yet it captured

01:26:41all of us

01:26:42in perfect detail.

01:26:43Alexander pointed

01:26:44at the large desk.

01:26:45Look, Mama!

01:26:46Our toys!

01:26:48Five wooden wolves,

01:26:50identical to the one

01:26:51that Rowena

01:26:51had been destroyed,

01:26:53lined up on the desk.

01:26:54The woman who'd answered

01:26:55the door spoke quietly.

01:26:56Lycan King made those

01:26:58when they were born.

01:26:59I don't understand.

01:27:01My heart broke again

01:27:03when I realized

01:27:03Lyle had lied

01:27:04about carving the toys.

01:27:06Come, my dears.

01:27:07I have milk and bread

01:27:08for you.

01:27:11The woman led

01:27:12my kids away.

01:27:13Finn Blackclaw

01:27:14had been missing

01:27:15since the day

01:27:15his nephew bought me.

01:27:17So how had he carved

01:27:18wooden toys

01:27:19for my quintuplets?

01:27:20And why?

01:27:23I was shocked

01:27:24to see my name

01:27:24on a sealed letter.

01:27:25I tore it open.

01:27:27Finn's voice

01:27:27filled my head

01:27:28as I read it.

01:27:29Alina,

01:27:30if you found this letter

01:27:31then my nephew

01:27:32has betrayed you.

01:27:33I always knew he would.

01:27:35Lyle believes

01:27:35possession equals love.

01:27:37One day that mistake

01:27:38will cost him

01:27:38everything he holds valuable.

01:27:40My breath caught

01:27:41as I turned the page over.

01:27:42You deserve the truth.

01:27:44The day I saw you

01:27:44in the auction arena,

01:27:45I...

01:27:46A servant rushed in.

01:27:48My lady, the kids!

01:27:50What happened?

01:27:51Lady Rowena

01:27:52sent guards

01:27:52from the packhouse

01:27:53to take them back.

01:27:54At the packhouse

01:27:55she stood over them.

01:27:57Be grateful I sent for you.

01:27:58You should live

01:27:59with your father

01:28:00not your worthless mother.

01:28:02Benjamin,

01:28:02my bravest boy

01:28:03clenched his fists.

01:28:05Our mama

01:28:05is the best in the world!

01:28:06Rowena yanked him upward

01:28:08nearly lifting him

01:28:09off his feet.

01:28:10Your mother

01:28:10was tossed aside

01:28:11like the trash she is!

01:28:13My five kids

01:28:13inherited their father's strength.

01:28:15Their eyes blazed

01:28:17icy blue in unison.

01:28:18Their talons

01:28:19burst from their fingertips.

01:28:21Tiny fangs erupt.

01:28:23Fuzzy little wolf ears

01:28:25sprouted from the tops

01:28:26of their heads,

01:28:27twitching with each growl.

01:28:29Don't say bad things

01:28:31about mama!

01:28:33Edward growled.

01:28:34Rowena's two guard

01:28:35looked impressed.

01:28:36The heirs truly belong

01:28:38to the Alpha.

01:28:39Their bloodline is strong.

01:28:40She shoved Edward

01:28:41to her knees.

01:28:42Sebastian lunged

01:28:43in front of his baby sister,

01:28:44taking the guard's

01:28:45rough shove

01:28:45meant for her,

01:28:46shielding Serafina

01:28:47with his own small body.

01:28:48I shoved her aside.

01:28:50She raped her nails

01:28:51across my cheek,

01:28:53blood spattered.

01:28:54But I knelt in front

01:28:55of my penteplecs

01:28:56and gathered them close.

01:28:58Mama's here.

01:29:00Hush now.

01:29:01I wiped their tears.

01:29:03Suddenly,

01:29:04a flare of crimson thread

01:29:05woven around my arm,

01:29:07a bond I didn't yet understand,

01:29:09reaching for me

01:29:10from somewhere far away.

01:29:11What's happening?

01:29:13Lyle strode

01:29:14with Alpha Grace

01:29:14toward us.

01:29:15Rowena's face

01:29:16turned pale.

01:29:17Her eyes widened.

01:29:19Lyle!

01:29:27Lyle!
