00:04At the packhouse, she stood over them.
00:07Be grateful I sent for you.
00:09You should live with your father, not your worthless mother.
00:12Benjamin, my bravest boy, clenched his fists.
00:15Our mama is the best in the world!
00:17Rowena yanked him upward, nearly lifting him off his feet.
00:20Your mother was tossed aside like the trash she is!
00:23My five kids inherited their father's strength.
00:26Their eyes blazed icy blue in unison.
00:29Their talons burst from their fingertips.
00:32Tiny fangs erupt.
00:34Fuzzy little wolf ears sprouted from the tops of their heads, twitching with each growl.
00:40Don't say bad things about mama!
00:43Edward growled.
00:45Rowena's two guard looked impressed.
00:47The heirs truly belong to the Alpha.
00:49Their bloodline is strong.
00:51She shoved Edward to her knees.
00:52Sebastian lunged in front of his baby sister, taking the guard's rough shove meant for her,
00:56shielding Serafina with his own small body.
00:59I shoved her aside.
01:01She raped her nails across my cheek.
01:03Blood spattered.
01:04But I knelt in front of my pentepleks and gathered them close.
01:09Mama's here.
01:11Hush now.
01:11I wiped their tears.
01:14Suddenly a flare of crimson thread woven around my arm.
01:17A bond I didn't yet understand, reaching for me from somewhere far away.
01:22What's happening?
01:23Lyle strode with Alpha grace toward us.
01:26Rowena's face turned pale.
01:28Her eyes widened.
01:29Lyle!
01:31The Great Hall of Blackclaw Castle.
01:35You can't break the mate bond, Lyle.
01:38As Alpha of this pack, I do as I please.
01:46The Great Hall of Blackclaw Castle is packed shoulder to shoulder.
01:51Nobles and warriors alike crowding the marble floor to witness the fall of their Alpha's mate.
01:56And I was the one on display.
01:58I gave you heirs.
01:59My voice was steady, but I was breaking.
02:01You can't throw me away like I mean nothing.
02:04I'm your mate!
02:05No, Elena.
02:07You're nothing.
02:12Lyle pulled Rowena closer.
02:14Another Omega, safe in his arms.
02:16While I could only watch.
02:18My fists clenched as memories flooded me.
02:20You chose me!
02:23Five years ago, the auction house reeked of sweat and fear.
02:27Rows of cages lined beneath flickering torchlight where Omegas were paraded like livestock before the highest bidder.
02:33Rough hands tore me from my glass cage.
02:35The guards pushed me into line with the other Omegas.
02:39I blinked beneath the bright lights while the bidders all gossiped.
02:42That one looks expensive.
02:45She'll breed fine pups.
02:47The blight that had left most female wolves barren in Blackclaw meant only Omegas could breed.
02:53I'd never dreamed the Blackclaw Alpha would take me as his own.
02:58I knelt beside the other Omegas.
03:01Lyle Blackclaw paced the row.
03:03His transparent wolf hovered behind him.
03:07We all knew the Beast would have the final say.
03:11And I was the one they both chose.
03:13This one.
03:16The starting price for that one, my Alpha, is a million gold coins.
03:21The other bidders gasped.
03:22Nobody else dared to bid.
03:24Alpha Leiden's gaze burned deep into my soul.
03:29His wolf released a low howl.
03:31The crimson thread of the mate bond erupted from our fingertips
03:35and braided into the tight cord meant to bind us together for eternity.
03:39The auctioneer slammed down his gavern.
03:42Shimmering gold coins cascaded from the sky.
03:46Salt!
03:47The servants rushed with wheelbarrows to haul away the pile of coins.
03:51Alpha Leiden helped me to my feet.
03:54He lifted my chin.
03:55I dared risk a smile.
03:57The moon goddess has blessed us.
04:00His low growl promised a lifetime of blessings.
04:02Every single one of them.
04:04Nothing but a lie.
04:06The great hall of Blackclaw Castle.
04:09You can't break the mate bond, Lyle.
04:12As Alpha of this pack, I do as I please.
04:21Rowena simmered.
04:23Diamonds glittered around her neck.
04:25But love cannot be measured in diamonds.
04:27Not even in words.
04:29It can only be measured in actions.
04:32Lyle addressed the crowd of nobles.
04:34Elina Omega is no longer my mate.
04:38Instead, I take.
04:41He kissed Rolina.
04:43I covered my mouth, eyes wide with grief.
04:46Everyone watched, waiting for me to shatter.
04:49I forced my hand down.
04:51Rowena Omega is my new mate.
04:58Lyle walked to stand a few inches from me.
05:00Your body provided me with five fine children.
05:03I have no more need for you.
05:05As the mother of my heirs, you will be permitted to remain in the Blackclaw pack.
05:10But, his eyes blazed icy blue.
05:13You're no longer my mate.
05:15Crimson cords entwined from our fingertips, but instantly snapped apart.
05:19I staggered.
05:21My hand gripped my heart.
05:23Lyle turned his back, unmoved by my pain.
05:25But, my uncle has no mate.
05:28I'm giving you to him.
05:29His uncle?
05:30Finn Blackclaw?
05:32He is the true Lycan king.
05:34The most feared warrior, and the war god the Seven Territories once knelt to.
05:39That was before.
05:40When he vanished on the battlefield, Alpha Lyle took up the Pax throne in his stead.
05:45God is above.
05:47Did our Alpha really just hand her off to a man who vanished off the battlefield?
05:51And what of her five children?
05:53Poor little things.
05:55Motherless in all but blood.
05:57Fatherless in all but name.
05:59Every word landed like a stone.
06:01I grabbed Lyle's sleeve to stop him.
06:03He yanked free with Alpha strength.
06:06His blazing blue gaze pierced me to the core, but I didn't let go.
06:11Lyle, Finn Blackclaw disappeared in battle five years ago!
06:15His sneer of disgust broke me harder.
06:17He'd forgotten the nights of pleasure we shared, but I never would.
06:22Then you'll have the manor house to yourself.
06:24He returned to his new mate.
06:27I pictured Finn Blackclorn.
06:29Hair black as night.
06:30Amber eyes.
06:32He'd been watching me the day Lyle bought me at the auction, never looking away.
06:36And then he disappeared.
06:39Finn Blackcloth had paced the rows of glass cages in the Omega auction.
06:43His gray wolf loomed behind him.
06:46He studied me for hours, never speaking.
06:50I trembled at the orange blaze in his eyes.
06:53I thought he'd bid on me, but after Lyle bought me, Finn disappeared.
06:58Rumors said he'd been slaughtered in battle.
07:01Rowena glared as I addressed Lyle in a hard, clear voice.
07:05If I'm to be tossed aside like trash, I demand our bond be stricken from the Blackclog register.
07:11Nobles murmured.
07:13The Elder stepped forward.
07:16Magic sparkled from her fingertip as a massive book appeared.
07:20Pages flipped to reveal our names in glimmering script.
07:32Alpha Lyot, you've broken the bond with Elena Omega.
07:36Your names will be stricken from the register,
07:38as demanded by the Moon Goddess for those who deny her blessings.
07:41It can never be restored.
07:44Lyot looked deeply into Rowena's eyes.
07:46Without even looking at me, Lyot barked out.
07:49Sever it, old woman.
07:50The gathered nobles gasped in shock.
07:52The Elder mimicked, tearing the pages from the book.
07:55Hanging in the air, the letters of my name burned.
07:58As each letter turned to ash, I jerked with fresh agonies.
08:01I went to my knees, headbound.
08:03It is done!
08:04A vision appeared of my weeping four-year-old intelligence.
08:08Benjamin, Edward, Alexander, Sebastian, and little Seraphina.
08:14Their eyes blazed the same as their father's.
08:16My name again.
08:17But this time, I was joined with Finn.
08:20It's done.
08:20When our Lycan king returns from the war, the mating shall be completed.
08:25Hushed voices murmured.
08:26I staggered upright.
08:28Tears streaked my cheeks.
08:29The book vanished in a flash of crimson and gold sparks.
08:32Lyot's wolf appeared with a mournful howl.
08:36Lyot's face twisted with a sudden realization.
08:38He gave me away.
08:40He could never get me back.
08:42In the morning, servants tossed my belongings into the courtyard.
08:46A lifetime, thrown away like trash.
08:48Once I'd been their beloved Alpha's mate.
08:50Now, I was nothing.
08:52They wouldn't even meet my eyes.
08:54Like their Alpha, they had a new mistress now.
08:56I'd planted medicinal herbs so I could take care of my five children and their father.
09:00And Rowena ordered every single plant torn up by its roots.
09:03Rip it all out.
09:04It's ugly.
09:05She watched with a cruel smile as my entire world was destroyed.
09:09My weeping children clung to me.
09:11They were being ripped away from the only home they'd ever known.
09:14Torn up by their roots, just like my garden.
09:17Rowena's cold gaze fell upon the wooden toy Lyot had carved when the Cantuplets were born.
09:23The small wolf posed with its nose pointed to the air, howling.
09:26She picked it up with a snarl of disgust.
09:31Get rid of all this trash.
09:33She shattered the toy to splinters on the ground.
09:36My children wailed.
09:38I gathered them close.
09:39They were my entire life.
09:41Rowena.
09:42Rowena sneered at me.
09:44Enjoy the life you've stolen.
09:45I held my children close and jexed your good hand.
09:48I refused to be ashamed.
09:50Everything worth having will never be yours, Rowena.
09:53As night fell, I found myself outside the packhouse gates.
09:57The townsfolk who once threw flowers to celebrate the birth of the Alpha's heirs now gathered to whisper and gossip.
10:04Nobody offered to help us.
10:05Where will she go?
10:06Five children at this time of night?
10:10Who will take her in?
10:13Mama?
10:14The firstborn Quintipets, Benjamin, tugged my skirts.
10:17I'm sleepy.
10:19In my arms, Selafina whimpered, too tired to even lift her head from my shoulder.
10:25Suddenly, the blare of a warhorn echoed through the town's stone streets.
10:31Elite warriors on black warhorses galloped toward us.
10:36The captain dismounted and strode towards me.
10:39I gasped when the captain bowed in front of me.
10:43Delino Omega, I've been sent to bring you home.
10:46He stepped aside to show the carriage waiting.
10:48Black as midnight.
10:50Emblessed with the ancient runes of Blackclaw Pack.
10:54At Lycan King's estate, vines with thorns the size of my arm twisted through the closed iron gates.
11:00No lights welcomed us from the manor house.
11:02But when I stepped out of the carriage, the gates swung open.
11:06The thorns became blooming crimson roses.
11:09In the courtyard, dusty fountains spouted clear water.
11:13My children's eyes grew wide as they followed me to the manor house.
11:18A woman with a kind face invited us inside.
11:22The estate knows its true mistress has come home.
11:25It has never responded to anyone this way before.
11:28I gazed in awe at the beautiful home.
11:30Through a doorway, I saw a room with walls of books, maps, and military banners.
11:36Curiously, I stepped inside.
11:38I gasped at the enormous portrait of me and my kids hanging over the marble fireplace.
11:43I'd never seen it before, yet it captured all of us in perfect detail.
11:47Alexander pointed at the large desk.
11:49Look, Mama! Our toys!
11:52Five wooden wolves, identical to the one that Rowena had been destroyed, lined up on the desk.
11:57The woman who'd answered the door spoke quietly.
12:00Lycan King made those when they were born.
12:03I don't understand.
12:05My heart broke again when I realized Lyle had lied about carving the toys.
12:10Come, my dears. I have milk and bread for you.
12:14The woman led my kids away.
12:17Finn Blackclaw had been missing since the day his nephew bought me.
12:21So how had he carved wooden toys for my quintuplets?
12:24And why?
12:26I was shocked to see my name on a sealed letter.
12:29I tore it open.
12:31Finn's voice filled my head as I read it.
12:33Alina, if you found this letter, then my nephew has betrayed you.
12:37I always knew he would.
12:39Lyle believes possession equals love.
12:41One day, that mistake will cost him everything he holds valuable.
12:44My breath caught as I turned the page over.
12:46You deserve the truth.
12:47The day I saw you in the auction arena, I...
12:50A servant rushed in.
12:51My lady, the kids!
12:53What happened?
12:55Lady Rowena sent guards from the packhouse to take them back.
12:58At the packhouse, she stood over them.
13:00Be grateful I sent for you.
13:02You should live with your father, not your worthless mother.
13:05Benjamin, my bravest boy, clenched his fists.
13:08Our mama is the best in the world!
13:10Rowena yanked him upward, nearly lifting him off his feet.
13:13Your mother was tossed aside like the trash she is!
13:17My five kids inherited their father's strength.
13:19Their eyes blazed icy blue in unison.
13:22Their talons burst from their fingertips.
13:25Tiny fangs erupt.
13:27Fuzzy little wolf ears sprouted from the tops of their heads, twitching with each growl.
13:33Don't say bad things about mama!
13:36Edward growled.
13:38Rowena's two guard looked impressed.
13:40The heirs truly belong to the Alpha.
13:42Their bloodline is strong.
13:44She shoved Edward to her knees.
13:46Sebastian lunged in front of his baby sister, taking the guard's rough shove meant for her,
13:50shielding Serafina with his own small body.
13:52I shoved her aside.
13:54She raped her nails across my cheek.
13:57Blood spattered.
13:58But I knelt in front of my pentepleks and gathered them close.
14:02Mama's here.
14:04Hush now.
14:05I wiped their tears.
14:07Suddenly a flare of crimson thread woven around my arm.
14:11A bond I didn't yet understand, reaching for me from somewhere far away.
14:15What's happening?
14:17Lyle strode with alpha grace toward us.
14:19Rowena's face turned pale.
14:21Her eyes widened.
14:23Lyle!
14:30At the pack house, she stood over them.
14:33Be grateful I sent for you.
14:35You should live with your father, not your worthless mother.
14:38Benjamin, my bravest boy, clenched his fists.
14:41Our mama is the best in the world!
14:43Rowena yanked him upward, nearly lifting him off his feet.
14:46Your mother was tossed aside like the trash she is!
14:49My five kids inherited their father's strength.
14:52Their eyes blazed icy blue in unison.
14:55Their talons burst from their fingertips.
14:58Tiny fangs erupt.
15:00Fuzzy little wolf ears sprouted from the tops of their heads, twitching with each growl.
15:06Don't say bad things about mama!
15:09Edward growled.
15:11Rowena's two guard looked impressed.
15:13The heirs truly belong to the alpha.
15:15Their bloodline is strong.
15:17She shoved Edward to her knees.
15:18Sebastian lunged in front of his baby sister, taking the guard's rough shove meant for her,

15:50Lyle strode with alpha grace toward us.
15:52Rowena's face turned pale.
15:54Her eyes widened.
15:55Lyle!
15:57The Great Hall of Blackclaw Castle.
16:01You can't break the mate bond, Lyle.
16:04As alpha of this pack, I do as I please.
16:12The Great Hall of Blackclaw Castle was packed shoulder to shoulder.
16:17Nobles and warriors alike crowding the marble floor to witness the fall of their alpha's mate.
16:22And I was the one on display.
16:24I gave you heirs.
16:25My voice was steady, but I was breaking.
16:27You can't throw me away like I mean nothing.
16:30I'm your mate!
16:31No, Elena.
16:33You're nothing.
16:38Lyle pulled Rowena closer.
16:40Another Omega, safe in his arms.
16:42While I could only watch.
16:44My fists clenched as memories flooded me.
16:46You chose me!
16:49Five years ago, the auction house reeked of sweat and fear.

18:47Rowena simpered.
18:49Diamonds glittered around her neck.
18:51But love cannot be measured in diamonds.
18:53Not even in words.
18:55It can only be measured in actions.
18:58Lyle addressed the crowd of nobles.
19:00Alina Omega is no longer my mate.
19:04Instead, I take.
19:07He kissed Rowena.
19:09I covered my mouth.
19:10Eyes wide with grief.
19:12Everyone watched.
19:13Waiting for me to shatter.
19:15I forced my hand down.
19:17Rowena Omega is my new mate.
19:24Lyle walked to stand a few inches from me.
19:26Your body provided me with five fine children.
19:29I've no more need for you.
19:31As the mother of my heirs,
19:33you'll be permitted to remain in the Blackclaw pack.
19:36But...
19:37His eyes blazed icy blue.
19:39You're no longer my mate.
19:41Crimson cords entwined from our fingertips,
19:43but instantly snapped apart.
19:45I staggered.
19:47My hand gripped my heart.
19:48Lyle turned his back.
19:50Unmoved by my pain.
19:52But...
19:52My uncle has no mate.
19:54I'm giving you to him.
19:55His uncle?
19:56Finn Blackclaw?
19:58He is the true Lycan king.
20:00The most feared warrior.
20:02And the war god the seven territories once knelt to.
20:05That was before.
20:06When he vanished on the battlefield,
20:08Alpha Lyle took up the pack's throne in his stead.
20:11Goddess above.
20:13Did our Alpha really just hand her off to a man
20:15who'd vanished off the battlefield?
20:17And what of her five children of poor little things?
20:21Motherless in all but blood.
20:23Fatherless in all but name.
20:25Every word landed like a stone.
20:27I grabbed Lyle's sleeve to stop him.
20:29He yanked free with Alpha strength.
20:32His blazing blue gaze pierced me to the core,
20:35but I didn't let go.
20:37Lyle!
20:38Finn Blackclaw disappeared in battle five years ago!
20:40His sneer of disgust broke me harder.
20:43He'd forgotten the nights of pleasure we shared,
20:45but I never would.
20:48Then you'll have the manor house to yourself.
20:50He returned to his new mate.
20:53I pictured Finn Blackclorn.
20:55Hair black as night.
20:56Amber eyes.
20:58He'd been watching me the day Lyle bought me at the auction,
21:01never looking away.
21:02And then he'd disappeared.
21:05Finn Blackcloth had paced the rows of glass cages in the Omega auction.
21:09His gray wolf loomed behind him.
21:12He studied me for hours, never speaking.
21:16I'd trembled at the orange blaze in his eyes.
21:19I thought he'd bid on me,
21:20but after Lyle bought me,
21:22Finn disappeared.
21:24Rumors said he'd been slaughtered in battle.
21:27Rowena glared as I addressed Lyle in a hard, clear voice.
21:31If I'm to be tossed aside like trash,
21:34I demand our bond be stricken from the Blackclog register.
21:37Nobles murmured.
21:39The Elder stepped forward.
21:42Magic sparkled from her fingertips as a massive book appeared.
21:46Pages flipped to reveal our names in glimmering script.
21:58Alpha Lyot.
21:59You've broken the bond with Elena Omega.
22:02Your names will be stricken from the register,
22:04as demanded by the Moon Goddess for those who deny her blessings.
22:07It can never be restored.
22:10Lyot looked deeply into Rowena's eyes.
22:12Without even looking at me,
22:14Lyot barked out.
22:15Sever it, old woman.
22:16The gathered nobles gasped in shock.
22:18The Elder mimicked tearing the pages from the book.
22:21Hanging in the air,
22:22the letters of my name burned.
22:24As each letter turned to ash,
22:26I jerked with fresh agonies.
22:27I went to my knees, headbound.
22:29It is done.
22:30A vision appeared of my weeping four-year-old cantelids.
22:34Benjamin, Edward, Alexander, Sebastian,
22:37and middle Seraphina.
22:40Their eyes blazed the same as their father's.
22:42My name again.
22:43But this time,
22:44I was joined with Finn.
22:46It's done.
22:46When our Lycan king returns from the war,
22:49the mating shall be completed.
22:51Hushed voices murmured.
22:53I staggered upright.
22:54Tears streaked my cheeks.
22:55The book vanished in a flash of crimson and gold sparks.
22:58Lyot's wolf appeared with a mournful howl.
23:02Lyot's face twisted with a sudden realization.
23:04He gave me away.
23:06He could never get me back.
23:08In the morning,
23:10servants tossed my belongings into the courtyard.
23:12A lifetime, thrown away like trash.
23:14Once I'd been their beloved Alpha's mate.
23:16Now, I was nothing.
23:18They wouldn't even meet my eyes.
23:20Like their Alpha,
23:21they had a new mistress now.
23:22I'd planted medicinal herbs
23:24so I could take care of my five children and their father.
23:26And Rowena ordered every single plant torn up by its roots.
23:29Rip it all out.
23:31It's ugly.
23:31She watched with a cruel smile as my entire world was destroyed.
23:35My weeping children clung to me.
23:37They were being ripped away from the only home they'd ever known.
23:40Torn up by their roots.
23:42Just like my garden.
23:43Rowena's cold gaze fell upon the wooden toy Lyot had carved when the Cantuplets were born.
23:49The small wolf posed with its nose pointed to the air, howlowing.
23:53She picked it up with a snarl of disgust.
23:57Get rid of all this trash.
23:59She shattered the toy to splinters on the ground.
24:02My children wailed.
24:04I gathered them close.
24:05They were my entire life.
24:07Rowena.
24:08Rowena sneered at me.
24:10Enjoy the life you've stolen.
24:11I held my children close and jextured with hand.
24:14I refused to be ashamed.
24:16Everything worth having will never be yours, Rowena.
24:20As night fell, I found myself outside the packhouse gates.
24:23The townsfolk who once threw flowers to celebrate the birth of the Alpha's heirs now gathered to whisper and gossip.
24:30Nobody offered to help us.
24:31Where will she go?
24:33Five children at this time of night?
24:36Who will take her in?
24:39Mama?
24:40The firstborn Quintipets, Benjamin, tugged my skirts.
24:43I'm sleepy.
24:45In my arms, Selafina whimpered, too tired to even lift her head from my shoulder.
24:51Suddenly, the blare of a warhorn echoed through the town's stone streets.
24:57Elite warriors on black warhorses galloped toward us.
25:02The captain dismounted and strode towards me.
25:05I gasped when the captain bowed in front of me.
25:09Elino Omega.
25:10I've been sent to bring you home.
25:12He stepped aside to show the carriage waiting.
25:14Black as midnight.
25:16Emblessed with the ancient runes of Blackclaw Pack.
25:19At Lycan King's estate, vines with thorns the size of my arm twisted through the closed iron gates.
25:26No lights welcomed us from the manor house.
25:29But when I stepped out of the carriage, the gates swung open.
25:32The thorns became blooming crimson roses.
25:35In the courtyard, dusty fountains spouted clear water.
25:39My children's eyes grew wide as they followed me to the manor house.
25:44A woman with a kind face invited us inside.
25:48The estate knows its true mistress has come home.
25:51It has never responded to anyone this way before.
25:54I gazed in awe at the beautiful home.
25:56Through a doorway, I saw a room with walls of books, maps, and military banners.
26:02Curiously, I stepped inside.
26:03I gasped at the enormous portrait of me and my kids hanging over the marble fireplace.
26:09I'd never seen it before.
26:10Yet it captured all of us in perfect detail.
26:13Alexander pointed at the large desk.
26:15Look, Mama! Our toys!
26:18Five wooden wolves, identical to the one that Rowena had been destroyed, lined up on the desk.
26:24The woman who'd answered the door spoke quietly.
26:26Lycan King made those when they were born.
26:29I don't understand.
26:31My heart broke again when I realized Lyle had lied about carving the toys.
26:36Come, my dears.
26:37I have milk and bread for you.
26:41The woman led my kids away.
26:43Finn Blackclaw had been missing since the day his nephew bought me.
26:47So how had he carved wooden toys for my quintuplets?
26:50And why?
26:52I was shocked to see my name on a sealed letter.
26:55I tore it open.
26:57Finn's voice filled my head as I read it.
26:59Alina, if you've found this letter, then my nephew has betrayed you.
27:03I always knew he would.
27:05Lyle believes possession equals love.
27:07One day that mistake will cost him everything he holds valuable.
27:10My breath caught as I turned the page over.
27:12You deserve the truth.
27:13The day I saw you in the auction arena, I...
27:16A servant rushed in.
27:18My lady, the kids!
27:19What happened?
27:21Lady Rowena sent guards from the packhouse to take them back.
27:24At the packhouse, she stood over them.
27:26Be grateful I sent for you.
27:28You should live with your father, not your worthless mother.
27:31Benjamin, my bravest boy, clenched his fists.
27:34Our mama is the best in the world!
27:36Rowena yanked him upward, nearly lifting him off his feet.
27:40Your mother was tossed aside like the trash she is!
27:42My five kids inherited their father's strength.
27:45Their eyes blazed icy blue in unison.
27:48Their talons burst from their fingertips.
27:51Tiny fangs erupt.
27:53Fuzzy little wolf ears sprouted from the tops of their heads,
27:57twitching with each growl.
27:59Don't say bad things about mama!
28:02Edward growled.
28:04Rowena's two guard looked impressed.
28:06The heirs truly belong to the Alpha.
28:09Their bloodline is strong.
28:10She shoved Edward to her knees.
28:12Sebastian lunged in front of his baby sister,
28:14taking the guard's rough shove meant for her,
28:16shielding Serafina with his own small body.
28:18I shoved her aside.
28:20She raped her nails across my cheek.
28:23Blood spattered.
28:24But I knelt in front of my pentepleks and gathered them close.
28:28Mama's here.
28:30Hush, now.
28:31I wiped their tears.
28:33Suddenly, a flare of crimson thread woven around my arm.
28:37A bond I didn't yet understand,
28:39reaching for me from somewhere far away.
28:41What's happening?
28:43Lyle strode with Alpha Grace toward us.
28:45Rowena's face turned pale.
28:47Her eyes widened.
28:49Lyle!
28:56At the pack house, she stood over them.
28:59Be grateful I sent for you.
29:00You should live with your father, not your worthless mother.
29:04Benjamin, my bravest boy, clenched his fists.
29:07Our mama is the best in the world!
29:09Rowena yanked him upward, nearly lifting him off his feet.
29:12Your mother was tossed aside like the trash she is!
29:15My five kids inherited their father's strength.
29:18Their eyes blazed icy blue in unison.
29:21Their talons burst from their fingertips.
29:24Tiny fangs erupt.
29:26Fuzzy little wolf ears sprouted from the tops of their heads, twitching with each growl.
29:32Don't say bad things about mama!
29:35Edward growled.
29:37Rowena's two guard looked impressed.
29:39The heirs truly belong to the Alpha.
29:41Their bloodline is strong.
29:43She shoved Edward to her knees.
29:45Sebastian lunged in front of his baby sister,
29:47taking the guard's rough shove meant for her,
29:49shielding Serafina with his own small body.
29:51I shoved her aside.
29:53She raped her nails across my cheek, blood spattered.
29:56But I knelt in front of my pentepleks and gathered them close.
30:01Mama's here.
30:03Hush now.
30:04I wiped their tears.
30:06Suddenly a flare of crimson thread woven around my arm.
30:09A bond I didn't yet understand,
30:11reaching for me from somewhere far away.
30:14What's happening?
30:15Lyle strode with Alpha Grace toward us.
30:18Rowena's face turned pale.
30:19Lyle, her eyes widened.
30:21Lyle!
30:23The Great Hall of Blackclaw Castle.
30:27You can't break the mate bond, Lyle.
30:30As Alpha of this pack, I do as I please.
30:38The Great Hall of Blackclaw Castle is packed shoulder to shoulder.
30:43Nobles and warriors alike crowding the marble floor
30:45to witness the fall of their Alpha's mate.
30:48And I was the one on display.
30:50I gave you airs.
30:51My voice was steady, but I was breaking.
30:53You can't throw me away like I mean nothing.
30:56I'm your mate!
30:57No, Elena.
30:59You're nothing.
31:04Lyle pulled Rowena closer, another Omega, safe in his arms, while I could only watch.
31:10My fists clenched as memories flooded me.
31:13You chose me!
31:15Five years ago, the auction house reeked of sweat and fear.
31:19Rows of cages lined beneath flickering torchlight,
31:22where Omegas were paraded like livestock before the highest bidder.
31:25Rough hands tore me from my glass cage.
31:27The guards pushed me into line with the other Omegas.
31:31I blinked beneath the bright lights while the bidders all gossiped.
31:35That one looks expensive.
31:37She'll breed fine pups.
31:39The blight that had left most female wolves barren in Blackclaw meant only Omegas could breed.
31:45I'd never dreamed the Blackclaw Alpha would take me as his own.
31:50I knelt beside the other Omegas.
31:53Lyle Blackclaw paced the row.
31:55His transparent wolf hovered behind him.
31:59We all knew the beast would have the final say.
32:03And I was the one they both chose.
32:05This one.
32:08The starting price for that one, my Alpha, is a million gold coins.
32:13The other bidders gasped.
32:14Nobody else dared to bid.
32:16Alpha Lydon's gaze burned deep into my soul.
32:21His wolf released a low howl.
32:23The crimson thread of the mate bond erupted from our fingertips
32:27and braided into the tight cord meant to bind us together for eternity.
32:32The auctioneer slammed down his gabbard.
32:34Shimmering gold coins cascaded from the sky.
32:38Salt!
32:38The servants rushed with wheelbarrows to haul away the pile of coins.
32:43Alpha Lyle helped me to my feet.
32:46He lifted my chin.
32:48I dared risk a smile.
32:50The moon goddess has blessed us.
32:51His low growl promised a lifetime of blessings.
32:54Every single one of them, nothing but a lie.
32:58The great hall of Blackclaw Castle.
33:01You can't break the mate bond, Lyle.
33:04As Alpha of this pack, I do as I please.
33:13Rowena simpered.
33:15Diamonds glittered around her neck.
33:17But love cannot be measured in diamonds.
33:19Not even in words.
33:21It can only be measured in actions.
33:24Lyle addressed the crowd of nobles.
33:26Alina Omega is no longer my mate.
33:30Instead, I take.
33:33He kissed Rowena.
33:35I covered my mouth, eyes wide with grief.
33:38Everyone watched, waiting for me to shatter.
33:41I forced my hand down.
33:43Rowena Omega is my new mate.
33:50Lyle walked to stand a few inches from me.
33:53Your body provided me with five fine children.
33:55I've no more need for you.
33:57As the mother of my heirs, you'll be permitted to remain in the Blackclaw pack.
34:02But...
34:03His eyes blazed icy blue.
34:05You're no longer my mate.
34:07Crimson cords entwined from our fingertips, but instantly snapped apart.
34:11I staggered.
34:13My hand gripped my heart.
34:14Lyle turned his back, unmoved by my pain.
34:18But...
34:18My uncle has no mate.
34:20I'm giving you to him.
34:21His uncle?
34:22Finn Blackclaw?
34:24He is the true Lycan king.
34:26The most feared warrior, and the war god the Seven Territories once knelt to.
34:31That was before.
34:32When he vanished on the battlefield, Alpha Lyle took up the Pax throne in his stead.
34:37The goddess above, did our Alpha really just hand her off to a man who'd vanished off the battlefield?
34:43And what of her five children, of poor little things?
34:47Motherless in all but blood.
34:49Fatherless in all but name.
34:51Every word landed like a stone.
34:53I grabbed Lyle's sleeve to stop him.
34:55He yanked free with Alpha strength.
34:58His blazing blue gaze pierced me to the core, but I didn't let go.
35:03Lyle, Finn Blackclaw disappeared in battle five years ago.
35:07His sneer of disgust broke me harder.
35:09He'd forgotten the nights of pleasure we shared, but I never would.
35:14Then you'll have the manor house to yourself.
35:16He returned to his new mate.
35:18I pictured Finn Blackclorn, hair black as night, amber eyes.
35:24He'd been watching me the day Lyle bought me at the auction, never looking away.
35:28And then he disappeared.
35:31Finn Blackcloth had paced the rows of glass cages in the Omega auction.
35:35His gray wolf loomed behind him.
35:38He studied me for hours, never speaking.
35:42I trembled at the orange blaze in his eyes.
35:45I thought he'd bid on me.
35:46But after Lyle bought me, Finn disappeared.
35:50Rumors said he'd been slaughtered in battle.
35:53Rowena glared as I addressed Lyle in a hard, clear voice.
35:57If I'm to be tossed aside like trash,
35:59I demand our bond be stricken from the blacklog register.
36:03Nobles murmured.
36:05The elders stepped forward.
36:08Magic sparkled from her fingertips as a massive book appeared.
36:12Pages flipped to reveal our names in glimmering script.
36:24Alpha Lyat, you've broken the bond with Elena Omega.
36:28Your names will be stricken from the register,
36:30as demanded by the moon goddess for those who deny her blessings.
36:33It can never be restored.
36:36Lyat looked deeply into Rowena's eyes.
36:38Without even looking at me, Lyat barked out.
36:41Sever it, old woman.
36:42The gathered nobles gasped in shock.
36:44The elder mimicked tearing the pages from the book.
36:47Hanging in the air, the letters of my name burned.
36:50As each letter turned to ash, I jerked with fresh agonies.
36:53I went to my knees, headbound.
36:55It is done!
36:56A vision appeared of my reaping four-year-old cantelids.
37:00Benjamin, Edward, Alexander, Sebastian, and it is Seraphina.
37:06Their eyes blazed the same as their father's.
37:09My name again.
37:09But this time, I was joined with Finn.
37:12It's done.
37:13When our Lycan king returns from the war, the mating shall be completed.
37:17Hushed voices murmured.
37:19I staggered upright.
37:20Tears streaked my cheeks.
37:21The book vanished in a flash of crimson and gold sparks.
37:24Lyat's wolf appeared with a mournful howl.
37:28Lyat's face twisted with a sudden realization.
37:31He gave me away.
37:32He could never get me back.
37:34In the morning, servants tossed my belongings into the courtyard.

38:31They were my entire life.

39:28The captain dismounted and strode towards me.
39:31I gasped when the captain bowed in front of me.
39:35Reno Omega, I've been sent to bring you home.
39:38He stepped aside to show the carriage waiting.
39:41Black as midnight, emblessed with the ancient rules of Blackclaw Pack.
39:46At Lycan King's estate, vines with thorns the size of my arm twisted through the closed iron gates.
39:52No lights welcomed us from the manor house.
39:54But when I stepped out of the carriage, the gates swung open.

40:57My heart broke again when I realized Lyle had lied about carving the toys.

41:07The woman led my kids away.
41:09Finn Blackclaw had been missing since the day his nephew bought me.

42:11Their eyes blazed icy blue in unison.

42:17Tiny fangs erupt.

42:25Don't say bad things about mama!
42:29Edward growled.
42:30Rowena's two guard looked impressed.
42:32The heirs truly belong to the Alpha.
42:35Their bloodline is strong.

42:54Mama's here.
42:56Hush now.
42:57I wiped their tears.
42:59Suddenly a flare of crimson thread woven around my arm.
43:03A bond I didn't yet understand, reaching for me from somewhere far away.
43:07What's happening?
43:09Lyle strode with Alpha Grace toward us.
43:11Rowena's face turned pale.
43:13Her eyes widened.
43:15Lyle!
43:22At the pack house, she stood over them.
43:25Be grateful I sent for you.
43:27You should live with your father, not your worthless mother.
43:30Benjamin, my bravest boy, clenched his fists.
43:33Our mama is the best in the world!
43:35Rowena yanked him upward, nearly lifting him off his feet.
43:38Your mother was tossed aside like the trash she is!
43:41My five kids inherited their father's strength.
43:44Their eyes blazed icy blue in unison.
43:47Their talons burst from their fingertips.
43:50Tiny fangs erupt.
43:52Fuzzy little wolf ears sprouted from the tops of their heads, twitching with each growl.
43:58Don't say bad things about mama!
44:01Edward growled.
44:03Rowena's two guard looked impressed.
44:05The heirs truly belong to the Alpha.
44:07Their bloodline is strong.
44:09She shoved Edward to her knees.
44:11Sebastian lunged in front of his baby sister, taking the guard's rough shove meant for her,
44:15shielding Serafina with his own small body.
44:17I shoved her aside.
44:19She raped her nails across my cheek.
44:21Blood spattered.
44:22But I knelt in front of my pentepleks and gathered them close.
44:27Mama's here.
44:29Hush, now.
44:30I wiped their tears.
44:32Suddenly a flare of crimson thread woven around my arm.
44:35A bond I didn't yet understand, reaching for me from somewhere far away.
44:40What's happening?
44:41Lyle strode with Alpha Grace toward us.
44:44Rowena's face turned pale.
44:46Her eyes widened.
44:47Lyle!
44:49The great hall of Blackclaw Castle.
44:53You can't break the mate bond, Lyle.
44:56As Alpha of this pack, I do as I please.
45:04The great hall of Blackclaw Castle was packed shoulder to shoulder.
45:09Nobles and warriors alike crowding the marble floor to witness the fall of their Alpha's mate.
45:14And I was the one on display.
45:16I gave you airs.
45:17My voice was steady, but I was breaking.
45:19You can't throw me away like I mean nothing.
45:22I'm your mate!
45:23No, Elena.
45:25You're nothing.
45:30Lyle pulled Rowena closer, another Omega, safe in his arms, while I could only watch.
45:36My fists clenched as memories flooded me.
45:38You chose me!
45:41Five years ago, the auction house reeked of sweat and fear.
45:45Rows of cages lined beneath flickering torchlight where Omegas were paraded like livestock before the highest bidder.
45:51Rough hands tore me from my glass cage.
45:54The guards pushed me into line with the other Omegas.
45:57I blinked beneath the bright lights while the bidders all gossiped.
46:01That one looks expensive.
46:03She'll breed fine pups.
46:05The blight that had left most female wolves barren in Blackclaw meant only Omegas could breed.
46:11I'd never dreamed the Blackclaw Alpha would take me as his own.
46:16I knelt beside the other Omegas.
46:19Lyle Blackclaw paced the row.
46:21His transparent wolf hovered behind him.
46:25We all knew the beast would have the final say.
46:29And I was the one they both chose.
46:31This one.
46:34The starting price for that one, my Alpha, is a million gold coins.
46:39The other bidders gasped.
46:40Nobody else dared to bid.
46:42Alpha Leiden's gaze burned deep into my soul.
46:47His wolf released a low howl.
46:49The crimson thread of the mate bond erupted from our fingertips
46:53and braided into the tight cord meant to bind us together for eternity.
46:57The auctioneer slammed down his gavern.
47:00Shimmering gold coins cascaded from the sky.
47:04Salt!
47:05The servants rushed with wheelbarrows to haul away the pile of coins.
47:09Alpha Leild helped me to my feet.
47:12He lifted my chin.
47:14I dared risk a smile.
47:16The moon goddess has blessed us.
47:17His low growl promised a lifetime of blessings.
47:20Every single one of them, nothing but a lie.
47:24The great hall of Blackclaw Castle.
47:27You can't break the mate bond, Lyle.
47:30As Alpha of this pack, I do as I please.
47:39Rowena simpered.
47:41Diamonds glittered around her neck.
47:42But love cannot be measured in diamonds.
47:46Not even in words.
47:47It can only be measured in actions.
47:50Lyle addressed the crowd of nobles.
47:52Alina Omega is no longer my mate.
47:56Instead, I take.
47:59He kissed Rolina.
48:01I covered my mouth, eyes wide with grief.
48:04Everyone watched, waiting for me to shatter.
48:07I forced my hand down.
48:09Rowena Omega is my new mate.
48:16Lyle walked to stand a few inches from me.
48:19Your body provided me with five fine children.
48:21I've no more need for you.
48:23As the mother of my heirs,
48:25you'll be permitted to remain in the Blackclaw pack.
48:28But...
48:29His eyes blazed icy blue.
48:31You're no longer my mate.
48:33Crimson cords entwined from our fingertips,
48:35but instantly snapped apart.
48:37I staggered.
48:39My hand gripped my heart.
48:41Lyle turned his back,
48:42unmoved by my pain.
48:44But...
48:44My uncle has no mate.
48:46I'm giving you to him.
48:48His uncle?
48:48Finn Blackclaw?
48:50He is the true Lycan king.
48:52The most feared warrior,
48:54and the war god the Seven Territories once knelt to.
48:57That was before.
48:58When he vanished on the battlefield,
49:00Alpha Lyle took up the pack's throne in his stead.
49:04Goddess above.
49:05Did our Alpha really just hand her off to a man
49:07and vanished off the back of things?
49:09And what of her five children?
49:11Poor little things.
49:13Motherless in all but blood.
49:15Fatherless in all but name.
49:17Every word landed like a stone.
49:19I grabbed Lyle's sleeve to stop him.
49:22He yanked free with Alpha strength.
49:24His blazing blue gaze pierced me to the core,
49:27but I didn't let go.
49:29Lyle, Finn Blackclaw disappeared in battle five years ago!
49:33His sneer of disgust broke me harder.
49:35He'd forgotten the nights of pleasure we shared,
49:38but I never would.
49:40Then you'll have the manor house to yourself.
49:43He returned to his new mate.
49:45I pictured Finn Blackclorn.
49:47Hair black as night.
49:48Amber eyes.
49:50He'd been watching me the day Lyle bought me at the auction,
49:53never looking away.
49:54And then he disappeared.
49:57Finn Blackcloth had paced the rows of glass cages in the Omega auction.
50:01His gray wolf loomed behind him.
50:03He studied me for hours, never speaking.
50:08I'd trembled at the orange blaze in his eyes.
50:11I thought he'd bid on me.
50:12But after Lyle bought me, Finn disappeared.
50:16Rumors said he'd been slaughtered in battle.
50:19Rowena glared as I addressed Lyle in a hard, clear voice.
50:23If I'm to be tossed aside like trash,
50:25I demand our bond be stricken from the Blackclog register.
50:29Nobles murmured.
50:31The Elder stepped forward.
50:34Magic sparkled from her fingertip as a massive book appeared.
50:38Pages flipped to reveal our names in glimmering script.
50:50Alpha Lyot, you've broken the bond with Elena Omega.
50:54Your names will be stricken from the register,
50:56as demanded by the Moon Goddess for those who deny her blessings.
51:00It can never be restored.
51:02Lyot looked deeply into Lyleen's eyes.
51:04Without even looking at me,
51:06Lyot barked out.
51:07Sever it, old woman.
51:08The gathered nobles gasped in shock.
51:10The Elder mimicked tearing the pages from the book.
51:13Hanging in the air,
51:14the letters of my name burned.
51:16As each letter turned to ash,
51:18I jerked with fresh agonies.
51:19I went to my knees,
51:20headbound.
51:21It is done!
51:22A vision appeared of my weeping four-year-old cantelits.
51:26Benjamin,
51:26Edward,
51:27Alexander,
51:28Sebastian,
51:29and Nita Seraphina.
51:32Their eyes blazed the same as their father's.
51:34My name again.
51:35But this time,
51:36I was joined with Finn.
51:38It's done.
51:39When our Lycan king returns from the war,
51:41the mating shall be completed.
51:43Hushed voices murmured.
51:45I staggered upright.
51:46Tears streaked my cheeks.
51:47The book vanished in a flash of crimson and gold sparks.
51:50Lyot's wolf appeared with a mournful howl.
51:54Lyot's face twisted with a sudden realization.
51:57He gave me away.
51:58He could never get me back.
52:00In the morning,
52:02servants tossed my belongings into the courtyard.
52:04A lifetime,
52:05thrown away like trash.
52:06Once I'd been their beloved Alpha's mate.
52:09Now,
52:09I was nothing.
52:10They wouldn't even meet my eyes.
52:12Like their Alpha,
52:13they had a new mistress now.
52:14I'd planted medicinal herbs
52:16so I could take care of my five children and their father.
52:18And Rowena ordered every single plant torn up by its roots.
52:22Rip it all out.
52:23It's ugly.
52:23She watched with a cruel smile
52:25as my entire world was destroyed.
52:27My weeping children clung to me.
52:29They were being ripped away from the only home they'd ever known.
52:32Torn up by their roots,
52:34just like my garden.
52:35Rowena's cold gaze fell upon the wooden toy
52:38Lyot had carved when the Cantuplets were born.
52:41The small wolf posed with its nose pointed to the air,
52:44howling.
52:45She picked it up with a snarl of disgust.
52:49Get rid of all this trash.
52:51She shattered the toy to splinters on the ground.
52:54My children wailed.
52:56I gathered them close.
52:57They were my entire life.
52:59Rowena.
53:00Rowena sneered at me.
53:02Enjoy the life you've stolen.
53:03I held my children close and jextured my hand.
53:06I refused to be ashamed.
53:09Everything worth having will never be yours, Rowena.
53:11As night fell,
53:12I found myself outside the packhouse gates.
53:15The townsfolk who once threw flowers
53:17to celebrate the birth of the Alpha's heirs
53:19now gathered to whisper and gossip.
53:22Nobody offered to help us.
53:24Where will she go?
53:25Five children at this time of night?
53:28Who will take her in?
53:31Mama?
53:32The firstborn Quintipets,
53:34Benjamin, tugged my skirts.
53:35I'm sleepy.
53:37In my arms,
53:38Seliphina whimpered,
53:40too tired to even lift her head from my shoulder.
53:43Suddenly,
53:44the blare of a warhorn
53:45echoed through the town's stone streets.
53:49Elite warriors on black warhorses
53:51galloped toward us.
53:54The captain dismounted
53:56and strode towards me.
53:57I gasped
53:58when the captain bowed in front of me.
54:01Relino Omega,
54:02I've been sent to bring you home.
54:04He stepped aside
54:05to show the carriage waiting.
54:07Black as midnight,
54:09emblessed with the ancient runes
54:10of Blackclaw Pack.
54:12At Lycan King's estate,
54:14vines with thorns
54:15the size of my arm
54:16twisted through the closed iron gates.
54:18No lights welcomed us
54:20from the manor house.
54:21But when I stepped out
54:22of the carriage,
54:23the gates swung open.
54:24The thorns became
54:25blooming crimson roses.
54:27In the courtyard,
54:28dusty fountains
54:29spouted clear water.
54:31My children's eyes
54:33grew wide
54:33as they followed me
54:34to the manor house.
54:36A woman with a kind face
54:38invited us inside.
54:40The estate knows
54:41its true mistress has come home.
54:43It has never responded
54:44to anyone this way before.
54:46I gazed in awe
54:47at the beautiful home.
54:48Through a doorway,
54:50I saw a room
54:50with walls of books,
54:52maps,
54:52and military banners.
54:54Curiously,
54:54I stepped inside.
54:56I gasped at the enormous
54:57portrait of me and my kids
54:59hanging over the marble fireplace.
55:01I'd never seen it before,
55:02yet it captured all of us
55:04in perfect detail.
55:05Alexander pointed
55:06at the large desk.
55:07Look, Mama!
55:08Our toys!
55:10Five wooden wolves,
55:12identical to the one
55:13that Rowena had been destroyed,
55:14lined up on the desk.
55:16The woman who'd answered
55:17the door spoke quietly.
55:18Lycan King made those
55:20when they were born.
55:21I don't understand.
55:23My heart broke again
55:25when I realized Lyle had lied
55:26about carving the toys.
55:28Come, my dears.
55:29I have milk and bread
55:30for you.
55:33The woman led my kids away.
55:35Finn Blacklaw had been missing
55:36since the day
55:37his nephew bought me.
55:39So how had he carved
55:40wooden toys
55:41for my quintuplets?
55:42And why?
55:45I was shocked
55:45to see my name
55:46on a sealed letter.
55:47I tore it open.
55:49Finn's voice filled my head
55:50as I read it.
55:51Alina,
55:52if you found this letter
55:53then my nephew
55:54has betrayed you.
55:55I always knew he would.
55:57Lyle believes
55:57possession equals love.
55:59One day that mistake
56:00will cost him
56:00everything he holds valuable.
56:02My breath caught
56:03as I turned the page over.
56:04You deserve the truth.
56:06The day I saw you
56:06in the auction arena,
56:07I...
56:08A servant rushed in.
56:10My lady, the kids!
56:11What happened?
56:13Lady Rowena sent guards
56:14from the packhouse
56:15to take them back.
56:16At the packhouse,
56:17she stood over them.
56:18Be grateful I sent for you.
56:20You should live with your father,
56:22not your worthless mother.
56:23Benjamin,
56:24my bravest boy,
56:25clenched his fists.
56:26Our mama is the best
56:28in the world!
56:28Rowena yanked him upward,
56:30nearly lifting him
56:31off his feet.
56:32Your mother was tossed aside
56:33like the trash she is!
56:35My five kids inherited
56:36their father's strength.
56:37Their eyes blazed
56:39icy blue in unison.
56:40Their talons burst
56:42from their fingertips.
56:43Tiny fangs erupt.
56:45Fuzzy little wolf ears
56:47sprouted from the tops
56:48of their heads,
56:48twitching with each growl.
56:51Don't say bad things
56:53about mama!
56:55Edward growled.
56:56Rowena's two guard
56:57looked impressed.
56:58The heirs truly belong
57:00to the Alpha.
57:01Their bloodline is strong.
57:02She shoved Edward
57:03to her knees.
57:04Sebastian lunged
57:05in front of his baby sister,
57:06taking the guard's
57:07rough shove
57:07meant for her,
57:08shielding Serafina
57:09with his own small body.
57:10I shoved her aside.
57:12She raped her nails
57:13across my cheek,
57:15blood spattered.
57:16But I knelt in front
57:17of my pentepleks
57:18and gathered them close.
57:20Mama's here.
57:22Hush now.
57:23I wiped their tears.
57:25Suddenly a flare
57:26of crimson thread
57:27woven around my arm,
57:29a bond I didn't yet understand,
57:31reaching for me
57:31from somewhere far away.
57:33What's happening?
57:34Lyle strode
57:36with Alpha Grace
57:36toward us.
57:37Rowena's face
57:38turned pale.
57:39Her eyes widened.
57:41Lyle!
57:41Lyle!
