opening post on After the Alpha's Cruel Trials, and it starts with a number that should be a warning.
Seventeen years standing next to him, before the pack decided she was a liability and he agreed out loud.
What lands isn't the betrayal. It's that he didn't hesitate. Nobody had to be convinced.
Then she does the one thing nobody expects a "burden" to do. She ends the bond herself, on her terms, and walks out under her own name.
The heir who comes to collect her doesn't say much. He just arrives.
And when it's already finished, the man who started it goes down on his knees.
✨ What worked for me:
- She never begs anyone to stay.
- The silence in the pickup scene beats any speech.
✨ Bottom line: the apology arrives the day it stops mattering.
Whose side would you have taken?

微电影文字稿
00:00:05You're a weakling with no wolf, that's on you.
00:00:07In our world, weaklings don't get to talk back.
00:00:10In this house, in this pack, nobody ever cared whether I lived or died.
00:00:14To them, leaving will just mean their dead weight is finally gone.
00:00:17It doesn't matter.
00:00:18With Nightshade's papers, I don't need their permission.
00:00:20Right?
00:00:23Thank you, Headmaster, and please, keep this quiet.
00:00:29You actually showed up at school, Violet?
00:00:31Last night should have opened your eyes to the truth.
00:00:33I'm Dad's favorite daughter.
00:00:35I'm the one Caden really wants.
00:00:36Everything you once had, it's mine now.
00:00:38When are you getting the hell out of this pack runt?
00:00:40You can take everything I have, but there's one thing you'll never change, Veronica.
00:00:44What?
00:00:45The Moon Goddess gave Caden and me a faded mate bond, one of a kind.
00:00:48And you?
00:00:49Scheme all you want, take him however you can, you'd still be nothing but a lowly chosen mate.
00:00:53The Moon Goddess will never recognize you.
00:00:55You're the backup, nothing more.
00:00:58Shut your mouth!
00:00:59You don't even have a wolf spirit, you piece of trash!
00:01:02Fine, Violet.
00:01:03You talk tough.
00:01:04Let's both watch what happens.
00:01:05I already made Caden strip your dignity in public for me, even hacked off your hair.
00:01:10Next, I'll have him throw you away himself, out the door, for good!
00:01:16The annual Realm-wide Werewolf Trials.
00:01:19Smile for the camera!
00:01:20Check out this wolf-less mummy.
00:01:23Come on, bring out your wolf!
00:01:25Still nothing?
00:01:27What a coward!
00:01:28You're such a loser!
00:01:30I have no wolf.
00:01:32My classmates think that's enough reason to tie me to a tree like a mummy.
00:01:36To say it's for my own good, but it'll unlock my potential.
00:01:39The perfect excuse to bully me.
00:01:42I thought the pain was my limit.
00:01:44The shame of being goffed at like a clown.
00:01:47I was wrong.
00:01:48What broke me was the two people standing dead center in that laughter.
00:01:53My stepsister Veronica, who torments me then plays innocent.
00:01:57And Caden, my childhood sweetheart of 17 years.
00:02:02No.
00:02:03No.
00:02:08Violet, quit pouting like you're the victim.
00:02:10Everything we do is for your own good.
00:02:13You're already 17, but there's still no sign of a wolf in you.
00:02:18Stay this week, and you won't survive.
00:02:22Exactly, Violet.
00:02:24Caden is the future alpha of Crimson Moon Pack.
00:02:27He carries this whole pack he deserves better.
00:02:29We can't have a useless, wolf-less loser as our lunata-be.
00:02:33Is being weak a crime?
00:02:34No wolf, so I'm worth nothing?
00:02:39So you get to bully me?
00:02:41I'm your mate, Caden.
00:02:43Why are you being so cruel to me?
00:02:47Weak means a burden, Violet.
00:02:49Weak means dead weight.
00:02:50You have to get stronger.
00:02:52We are trying to help you.
00:02:55Stop resenting us.
00:02:57Be grateful.
00:03:00Hey, I got something special for you.
00:03:03Something you're scared of more than anything in the world.
00:03:07You think this will finally bring out your wolf?
00:03:13No.
00:03:14No, please.
00:03:15I'm begging you.
00:03:21Look at her!
00:03:22Not a single bit of wolf fur on her!
00:03:25Spine-less.
00:03:26Pathetic.
00:03:27How does trash like that become our Luna?
00:03:35Even this isn't enough?
00:03:36Poor Violet.
00:03:38Maybe we need something a little more dramatic?
00:03:41How about we cut off all that pretty hair?
00:03:45It's the thing you treasure most, isn't it?
00:03:48What a pretty shade of gold.
00:03:51Just like your dead mommy.
00:03:53No!
00:03:54Don't, Caden!
00:03:56Please, don't let her do this!
00:03:59Caden, please!
00:04:00Please!
00:04:01You know my hair means everything to me!
00:04:09It's just hair, Violet.
00:04:11It grows back.
00:04:12If the shock wakes your wolf, it'll be worth it.
00:04:17Do it, Veronica.
00:04:41No!
00:04:43No!
00:04:48Well, she's let us all down again, wolfless as ever.
00:04:52Cut her down.
00:05:05Don't look at me like that, Violet.
00:05:07It's all for your own good.
00:05:09For my own good?
00:05:12Look me in the eye, Caden.
00:05:14This isn't a trial.
00:05:16This is bullying.
00:05:17This is abuse.
00:05:21Violet, don't be so sensitive.
00:05:23We've got to force you to train or you'd never last.
00:05:26You're too weak to earn a place in this pack.
00:05:29Veronica's right.
00:05:30These trials are training.
00:05:31Every one of them is for your own good.
00:05:33Training?
00:05:34Torturing me is your idea of help?
00:05:38Seventeen years, Caden.
00:05:40Seventeen!
00:05:41We grew up together.
00:05:42You're my fated mate.
00:05:44And now you'd rather be their accomplice?
00:05:48Did I go too far?
00:05:53You're the true alpha to be of Crimson Moon, Caden.
00:05:55You can't go soft over a wolfless girl.
00:05:59If word gets out, what will the other packs think of you?
00:06:02Of us?
00:06:04Enough, Violet.
00:06:06You're a weakling without a wolf.
00:06:09Weaklings don't get to make noise.
00:06:12Want dignity?
00:06:13Go win it back.
00:06:15Don't stand here snivering.
00:06:16I've lost count of how many times they've done this.
00:06:19They call it building character.
00:06:22The license giving them full reign to bully me.
00:06:27Too slow, Violet.
00:06:29You can't even dodge that.
00:06:30Your reflexes are pathetic.
00:06:32This is about training your instincts.
00:06:42You can't even push that off.
00:06:44Your strength is a joke.
00:06:47Looks like you need more pressure training.
00:06:53I kept waiting.
00:06:55Waiting for Caden to wake up.
00:06:57Waiting for him to remember our seventeen years together.
00:07:00Waiting for one look back.
00:07:04Waiting for Caden to wake up.
00:07:04Now I finally get it.
00:07:06He saw my pain.
00:07:08He just didn't care.
00:07:13When someone has nothing left to lose,
00:07:16she's finally been set free.
00:07:20Caden.
00:07:21What now?
00:07:24If having no wolf makes me this disgusting to you,
00:07:28I'll go.
00:07:30You're all bluff.
00:07:31Leave Crimson Moon?
00:07:33Leave me?
00:07:34Where would a wolf-less reject like you go?
00:07:37I used to think Caden was a part of me I could never lose.
00:07:41But when it starts to rot,
00:07:42you have to cut it away.
00:07:46It hurts.
00:07:48But at least this time,
00:07:49I hold the knife.
00:07:51Violet, where are you going?
00:07:52Caden!
00:07:54Caden!
00:07:54You're the future Alpha.
00:07:57Stop indulging her tantrums.
00:07:59Let her spend the night in the woods.
00:08:01The freezing cold will teach her to behave by morning.
00:08:24Mrs. Imogen, it's me.
00:08:27Violet, sweetheart, what happened?
00:08:30Your invitation to join Nightshade Pack,
00:08:33is that still good?
00:08:35I've decided.
00:08:37I'm breaking my mate bond with Caden.
00:08:40I'm leaving this pack for good.
00:08:51No pain in my body comes close to this.
00:08:54Every wound scabs over.
00:08:56A cut might never heal.
00:08:57If the one who cut you is the one you let into your heart.
00:09:00Someone you loved with everything you had.
00:09:02Caden and I were born on the same day.
00:09:04We opened our eyes just minutes apart.
00:09:07We were inseparable as kids.
00:09:09Every secret, every laugh, we shared it all.
00:09:12When we were five, he fell from a tall tree.
00:09:14I was the one who broke his fall with my own body.
00:09:17I saved his life, but it made me frail, too weak to get my will.
00:09:21Caden cried and swore an oath.
00:09:23He would be my shadow and my knight for life.
00:09:26After my mother died, Caden promised to always protect me.
00:09:30No one would ever hurt me.
00:09:34Then we felt it.
00:09:36The mate bond, right on schedule.
00:09:37I thought he was the moon godness' finest gift to me.
00:09:40But then a year ago, father brought his illegitimate daughter home.
00:09:43My stepsister, Veronica.
00:09:45Caden was drawn to Veronica's strength.
00:09:47Pure wolf instinct.
00:09:48Ever since, he's looked at me, the wolf-less one, differently.
00:09:52Went from disappointment to pure ice.
00:09:57Violet doesn't even have a wolf, Caden.
00:09:59Keep her close, and she becomes your weakness.
00:10:01If you really want to help her, put her through the harshest trials possible.
00:10:08Again and again, Caden listened to her poison.
00:10:10He called it a test.
00:10:12Then he said it'd unlock my potential.
00:10:14Used it to ground my dignity under his heel.
00:10:19That's our future Luna?
00:10:21Violet?
00:10:21She doesn't deserve it.
00:10:24Look at her.
00:10:25She doesn't even have a wolf.
00:10:26What a joke.
00:10:31Isn't this going too far?
00:10:33Violet didn't do anything wrong.
00:10:37Violet was humiliated because she's weak.
00:10:39In Crimson Moonpack, weakness is a disgrace.
00:10:41Weaklings don't get sympathy.
00:10:42I should have seen it sooner.
00:10:44To Caden, I'm nothing.
00:10:45A waste of space.
00:10:47Our 17 years together got me nothing but public humiliation.
00:10:54Violet, sweetheart.
00:10:55Everything's in order.
00:10:56I swore to your mother I would take care of you before she passed.
00:10:59I filed the formal transfer papers in Nightshade Pack's name.
00:11:01We'll come for you tomorrow.
00:11:02Right on time.
00:11:03You think I'm a weakling, Caden Cross?
00:11:05A disgrace?
00:11:06Fine, I'm walking out of your world for good.
00:11:08Soon, you'll never be embarrassed by my weakness again.
00:11:17Violet, pick up.
00:11:18Stop sulking.
00:11:19Fine, yesterday's trial went a little far.
00:11:21I brought your favorite strawberry cake compensation.
00:11:23I'll be downstairs in 10 minutes to take you to school.
00:11:26Be a good girl.
00:11:27No more tantrums.
00:11:2817 years of devotion.
00:11:30My dignity.
00:11:31The hair.
00:11:32My connection to my mother.
00:11:33All of it.
00:11:34Destroyed.
00:11:35Even now, he thinks it's just a tantrum.
00:11:40Look at you.
00:11:41Ridiculous.
00:11:42Hideous.
00:11:43What the hell did you do to your hair?
00:11:45You're a disgrace to the black name.
00:11:48I didn't do this to my hair.
00:11:50Veronica hacked it off herself.
00:11:52Caden helped, you know?
00:11:53Held me down while she cut.
00:11:54They tied me to a tree like a clown for two hours.
00:11:56They're bullying me.
00:11:57Nonsense.
00:11:58Bullying?
00:11:59Caden told me it was training to unlock your potential.
00:12:01It wouldn't be happening if you had a wolf.
00:12:03Father, I can't take any more of these trials.
00:12:05I want to leave the academy, please.
00:12:07Leave the academy?
00:12:09What nonsense is this, Violet?
00:12:14Veronica, good timing.
00:12:15Were you really bullying Violet last night?
00:12:17Oh, God, Violet.
00:12:18How could you lie about me and Caden like that?
00:12:20And to Dad?
00:12:21Exactly, Logan.
00:12:22Don't listen to a word of Violet's nonsense.
00:12:24Veronica and Caden were only trying to wake her wolf.
00:12:26Now Violet's acting ungrateful and calling it bullying.
00:12:31Are you jealous that Father spoils me sometimes, Violet?
00:12:34Is that why you hurt yourself?
00:12:35You even cut your own hair just for attention.
00:12:37If you can't stand me, just say so.
00:12:39Yell at me if you want.
00:12:40You don't have to do this to yourself.
00:12:41Violet Black, you lying, ungrateful girl.
00:12:44Your stepmother and Veronica care so much about you.
00:12:46You're lying about your own sister?
00:12:48I'm lying about her?
00:12:49Look at me, Father.
00:12:50You'd rather believe a bastard's tears than see your own daughter's scars.
00:12:52Shut up!
00:12:53Veronica is the finest, most obedient daughter in this house.
00:12:56Look at yourself.
00:12:57Seventeen and no wolf.
00:12:58Worse of all, it made you a bitter, lying brat.
00:13:00You're nothing compared to her.
00:13:01Obedient?
00:13:02My mother held your hand on her deathbed, Father.
00:13:04She had you swear you'd take care of me.
00:13:05Did you look her in the eyes when you lied?
00:13:07You think you've kept your word to her?
00:13:09How dare you talk back to me, you ungrateful child?
00:13:13Stop!
00:13:16Beta Logan, don't.
00:13:17Last night was a misunderstanding.
00:13:19Violet was spooked by what happened.
00:13:20I'll take her to school and sort it out today.
00:13:23I'm letting this slide because Caden's speaking up for you.
00:13:25Don't embarrass me again.
00:13:27Come with me, Violet.
00:13:28We need to talk.
00:13:29This is my family.
00:13:30This is my mate.
00:13:32Nobody cares about the truth.
00:13:34Nobody protects me.
00:13:35It doesn't matter.
00:13:36Today I leave this hell forever.
00:13:44Fine.
00:13:44I admit it, Violet.
00:13:46Last night, things went too far.
00:13:48But it was for your own good.
00:13:49You're my future Luna.
00:13:50If you can't handle a little pressure, how will you rule Crimson Moon Pack with me?
00:13:52And what if it didn't work?
00:13:54If they left me crippled for life?
00:13:55What if I died, Caden?
00:13:57Don't be dramatic.
00:13:57That wouldn't kill anyone.
00:13:58It was training.
00:13:59Veronica and I just want to awaken your wolf.
00:14:01If you had a wolf, you'd never have gotten hurt anyways.
00:14:03That's the real problem here.
00:14:05You're weak.
00:14:05You're not Luna material.
00:14:07Weak.
00:14:07No wolf.
00:14:08Every word out of his mouth is about how I'm not enough.
00:14:10He's forgotten why I've always been frail.
00:14:12Too weak to awaken my wolf.
00:14:14I sacrificed my health to save his life.
00:14:16I know.
00:14:17I know you saved me and it wrecked your health.
00:14:18That's exactly why I'm doing whatever it takes to bring out your wolf.
00:14:21Don't you get it?
00:14:23If you were strong and sensible like Veronica, none of this would have happened.
00:14:27So that's all it is.
00:14:28You think I'm weak?
00:14:29You think I'm not fit to be your Luna?
00:14:31All right then.
00:14:31I, Violet Black, reject you, Caden Cross, as my fated mate.
00:14:36Have you lost your mind?
00:14:37Now you're resorting to a rejection, Violet?
00:14:39Without me, you'd never even survive.
00:14:42Enough.
00:14:42You're upset.
00:14:43You're sulking.
00:14:44I get it.
00:14:44Last night was too rough for you.
00:14:45Can't you just take it as a joke?
00:14:47What's the big deal?
00:14:48A joke?
00:14:49My dignity?
00:14:50My hair?
00:14:51The last connection to my mother?
00:14:53It's all just a joke to you?
00:14:54Stop guilt-tripping me.
00:14:56Get in the car.
00:14:56We're going to school.
00:14:58Whatever this is, we settle it there.
00:15:00Oh, Violet.
00:15:01How can you be so childish?
00:15:03Talking back to the future Alpha like that.
00:15:05So disrespectful.
00:15:08Caden, I don't know what's wrong with me today.
00:15:10I'm so dizzy.
00:15:11I feel awful.
00:15:12Can I ride to school in your car?
00:15:14Of course, Veronica.
00:15:16Take the back seat, Violet.
00:15:23Violet, the passenger seat in my car is your throne.
00:15:25Got it?
00:15:26You're the only one who'll ever ride with me.
00:15:28Nobody else.
00:15:30What's going on?
00:15:31Is Violet throwing a fit over last night?
00:15:33How dare she?
00:15:34Caden spoils her way too much.
00:15:36Where's the future Alpha's dignity?
00:15:39I'm not sitting in the back.
00:15:47I'm done with your tantrums.
00:15:49Quit sulking, Violet.
00:15:50I don't have time to pamper you.
00:15:51Fix your attitude.
00:15:52Before then, you're not riding in my car.
00:15:54Veronica, get in.
00:15:57There is no more time left for us, Caden.
00:16:02We'll never ride to school together again.
00:16:04Never again.
00:16:09Violet, sweetie, everything's set.
00:16:11The nightshade pack car is already on its way to you.
00:16:13Someone will handle the transfer paperwork with your school directly.
00:16:17Thank you, Miss Imogene.
00:16:18I'm ready.
00:16:23Look at that stupid face.
00:16:26Not a hint of wolf, and she still gets to be Caden's mate.
00:16:29Right?
00:16:30Veronica is the beta's pride and joy.
00:16:32Strong, too.
00:16:33She and Caden are made for each other.
00:16:34That wolf-less girl should get out of our pack already.
00:16:38Hey, look at our lunatic-be.
00:16:40What are you hiding under that hood?
00:16:41The hell is that on your head?
00:16:42A bird's nest?
00:16:46Caden, look.
00:16:47I got another A in close combat this week.
00:16:49Coach says my power beats half the boys.
00:16:52Not bad, Veronica.
00:16:54A body like that is what a pack's Luna needs.
00:16:57Pack tradition is clear.
00:16:58To take the alpha seat, my fated mate must stand beside me as Luna, but Violet is far too weak.
00:17:03She doesn't even have a wolf.
00:17:04She can't carry Luna's weight.
00:17:05Then force her to break the mate bond, Caden.
00:17:08Once the mate bond is gone, she can't drag you down.
00:17:11No more guilt trips.
00:17:12Break the mate bond?
00:17:14Exactly.
00:17:15After all those trials, she's totally close to breaking.
00:17:18Violet's a weakling.
00:17:19She'll never wake her wolf.
00:17:20Let her break.
00:17:21She'll give up.
00:17:22Then you're free.
00:17:23So that is the truth behind every trial.
00:17:26Caden, you weren't hoping for me to wake my wolf.
00:17:28You were waiting for me to break.
00:17:29The perfect setup.
00:17:31An excuse to get rid of me.
00:17:32Your burden.
00:17:33You'll get exactly what you want.
00:17:35Soon.
00:17:38Caden?
00:17:39Violet's weak.
00:17:40She's a headache, sure.
00:17:42But I will never go against the Moon Goddess plans.
00:17:44The Moon Goddess gave her to me.
00:17:46She's mine.
00:17:47What happens between us is nobody else's business.
00:17:50Don't ever mention breaking the mate bond in front of me again.
00:17:56That bitch, Violet.
00:18:01Violet.
00:18:02Nightshade's transfer papers hit my desk last night.
00:18:04They were marked urgent.
00:18:05The wording was blunt.
00:18:07Withdrawing and transferring is a big deal.
00:18:08Does Beta Logan know?
00:18:09And Caden, your fated mate, the future Alpha, does he know?
00:18:12Look at yourself.
00:18:13Seventeen years old and still no wolf and that nasty, bitter attitude.
00:18:17You're nothing compared to Veronica and you'll never be.
00:18:20Enough, Violet.
00:18:21You're a weakling with no wolf.
00:18:22That's on you.
00:18:23In our world, weaklings don't get to talk back.
00:18:26In this house, in this pack, nobody ever cared whether I lived or died.
00:18:30To them, leaving will just mean their dead weight is finally gone.
00:18:33It doesn't matter.
00:18:34With Nightshade's papers, I don't need their permission.
00:18:37Right?
00:18:38Thank you, Headmaster.
00:18:40And please, keep this quiet.
00:18:45You actually showed up at school, Violet?
00:18:47Last night should have opened your eyes to the truth.
00:18:49I'm Dad's favorite daughter.
00:18:51I'm the one Caden really wants.
00:18:52Everything you once had, it's mine now.
00:18:54When are you getting the hell out of this pack runt?
00:18:56You can take everything I have.
00:18:57But there's one thing you'll never change, Veronica.
00:19:00What?
00:19:01The Moon Goddess gave Caden and me a fated mate bond.
00:19:04One of a kind.
00:19:04And you?
00:19:05Scheme all you want.
00:19:06Take him however you can.
00:19:07You'd still be nothing but a lowly chosen mate.
00:19:09The Moon Goddess will never recognize you.
00:19:11You're the backup.
00:19:13Nothing more.
00:19:14Shut your mouth.
00:19:15You don't even have a wolf spirit, you piece of trash.
00:19:18Fine, Violet.
00:19:19You talk tough.
00:19:20Let's both watch what happens.
00:19:21I already made Caden strip your dignity in public for me.
00:19:24Even hacked off your hair.
00:19:26Next, I'll have him throw you away himself.
00:19:28Out the door.
00:19:28For good!
00:19:32The annual Realm-wide Werewolf Trials begin soon.
00:19:35Crimson Moon Pack will send its very best.
00:19:38Today is the pair riding selection.
00:19:41I was a frail kid.
00:19:42Always bad at everything.
00:19:44Then mom taught me to ride and I finally had something I loved.
00:19:46Every year after, Caden and I rode the pair event together.
00:19:49I've decided to leave.
00:19:51But I came anyway.
00:19:52One last look at those horses.
00:19:53You're still hurt, Violet.
00:19:55Can you even ride today?
00:19:58Caden, Violet just had that trial last night.
00:20:01Look at her, still bruised.
00:20:02She can barely stand.
00:20:03You can't put her on a horse.
00:20:04She'll get hurt or worse, drag your score down.
00:20:06Gosh, we can't let that happen to the Alpha-to-B.
00:20:08Ride with me today, Caden.
00:20:09But it's always been Violet and me.
00:20:11Just this once.
00:20:12Violet's so weak right now.
00:20:13You don't want her humiliating herself in public again, do you?
00:20:16Fine.
00:20:16You're hurt, Violet.
00:20:17Sit this one out.
00:20:19Veronica rides with me today.
00:20:20We raised this horse together.
00:20:22It was always you and me.
00:20:23Don't look at me like that.
00:20:25If you weren't so weak,
00:20:26Veronica'd never get the chance to replace you.
00:20:28Look, I know this matters to you.
00:20:30Next time we ride together.
00:20:31I promise.
00:20:32Now move.
00:20:38Next time?
00:20:39There is no next time for us, Caden.
00:20:42Not ever.
00:20:46Oh, God.
00:20:47Caden, wait.
00:20:49What is it, Veronica?
00:20:52The clasp on my sports bra just came undone.
00:20:55Can you hook it for me, Caden?
00:20:57I can't quite reach.
00:21:00Holy shit, that's so hot!
00:21:03Damn, look at that body.
00:21:04Then look at Violet.
00:21:06No wolf and no figure.
00:21:08Is this even a competition?
00:21:09Caden is Violet's fated mate.
00:21:11And Veronica has him hooking her bra in front of everyone.
00:21:15That's a slap in Violet's face.
00:21:18Is Caden about to reject her and make Veronica official?
00:21:21Enough.
00:21:23Stop making a scene.
00:21:25I hooked a bra.
00:21:26It was a favor.
00:21:28Nobody get ideas.
00:21:30Veronica and I are friends and teammates.
00:21:33That's all.
00:21:34Just friends and teammates?
00:21:36I'm your fated mate, Caden.
00:21:38You never touched me.
00:21:40My missing wolf disgusted you.
00:21:42But you'll fix her bra.
00:21:44What am I to you?
00:21:46Done.
00:21:49Thank you, Caden.
00:21:50I'll ride my very best out there.
00:21:58Wow, Caden.
00:22:00You ride so well.
00:22:01I feel so safe in your big, strong arms.
00:22:13Remember this, Violet.
00:22:15This saddle.
00:22:16These arms.
00:22:18They're yours alone.
00:22:20Forever.
00:22:21No one else in this world gets to sit here.
00:22:23Only you.
00:22:26Mine alone.
00:22:27I treasured that promise once.
00:22:29Now it just looks like a joke.
00:22:33Okay.
00:22:50I hereby declare the winners of today's pair riding, Caden and Veronica.
00:23:06Something feels off.
00:23:08I don't know why.
00:23:09No.
00:23:10I'm overthinking it.
00:23:12Violet's always been jealous.
00:23:13I'll go smoothing it over later.
00:23:20Take the horse back to the stable, Caden.
00:23:22Violet looks so lonely over there.
00:23:24I'll go comfort her.
00:23:27We don't want her getting the wrong idea about us.
00:23:30Go ahead, Veronica.
00:23:32You're always so kind.
00:23:41Hey, sis.
00:23:42Up on that horse just now?
00:23:45Caden was pressed so tight against me.
00:23:48I could feel his abs with my butt.
00:23:53Oh, and not just his abs.
00:23:55Guess what?
00:23:57He got hard.
00:24:09What?
00:24:10You don't believe me?
00:24:11That wasn't the only reaction he had up there.
00:24:13His hands kept sliding up my waist.
00:24:15Know what he whispered?
00:24:16Right into my ear?
00:24:18He said a wolfless loser like you disgusts him.
00:24:22He said he couldn't wait to tear my collar open and mark me.
00:24:24Hard.
00:24:25Stop.
00:24:25Shut your mouth!
00:24:31Violet, why did you push me?
00:24:35I know you're upset from watching me ride with Caden.
00:24:39I told you it wasn't personal.
00:24:41You can't just attack me because you're jealous.
00:24:46Violet Black, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:24:53Look at yourself.
00:24:55Attacking your own sister?
00:24:57You're so jealous it's turning you into a monster.
00:25:00What part of you deserves to be Luna of Crimson Moon?
00:25:05I don't deserve it.
00:25:07And you do, Caden Cross?
00:25:09You call me your fated mate.
00:25:10Then what were you doing with her on that horse?
00:25:13You betrayed me.
00:25:15You cheated.
00:25:16A cold, selfish bastard like you doesn't deserve a fated mate from the moon goddess.
00:25:21Shut up!
00:25:26What the hell are you talking about?
00:25:31Don't cry, Violet.
00:25:34They had no right to laugh at you for having no mother.
00:25:38These hands are here to protect you.
00:25:41A few cuts are nothing.
00:25:43He said his hands were there to protect me.
00:25:45Today, he used them to strike my face.
00:25:52Whatever we had, whatever I once felt for him, is gone.
00:25:55You killed it, Caden.
00:25:57We'll never go back.
00:26:02God, what did I do?
00:26:08Damn it!
00:26:09Caden still cares about that useless ruser, no?
00:26:11I'll drive that bitch out of here for good.
00:26:13Forever.
00:26:15It's okay, Violet.
00:26:17Soon.
00:26:18All of this torture ends soon.
00:26:25Violet, sweetheart.
00:26:28We'll be at the Crimson Moon border in two hours to get you.
00:26:33Mrs. Imogene!
00:26:37Darling, I've got the grandest bedroom in the house ready for you.
00:26:41Nothing but the best for my best friend's daughter.
00:26:43A whole new wardrobe, and your favorite flowers.
00:26:49Oh, and do you remember my son, Sebastian?
00:26:52You two played together as children.
00:26:54He was thrilled when he heard.
00:26:55He cut his business trip short just to come get you.
00:26:58He might even beat me there.
00:27:00And between us, he's far better looking than that old faded maid of yours.
00:27:08Thank you, Luna Imogen.
00:27:10I can't wait for my new life at Nightshade Pack.
00:27:12Leaving might be the right thing, I'm sure now.
00:27:15I'm not looking back.
00:27:20Leaving?
00:27:22What are you talking about, Violet?
00:27:24Where do you think you're going?
00:27:32What did you just say?
00:27:34Is it true?
00:27:35You're leaving?
00:27:38You heard wrong.
00:27:39I didn't say anything.
00:27:40I knew it.
00:27:42Drop the stupid jokes, Violet.
00:27:44Leave Crimson Moon Pack, leave me, and you'd be helpless.
00:27:46Where would a wolf-less weakling go?
00:27:47What pack would ever take you in?
00:27:51Look, hitting you is wrong of me.
00:27:53But can you stop with the tantrums?
00:27:54Nothing happened between Veronica and me.
00:27:56I picked her at the field for one reason.
00:27:57You got hurt last night.
00:27:59You were too weak to ride.
00:28:00I did that to protect you.
00:28:01Nothing happened?
00:28:02You know, Caden, I don't even care anymore.
00:28:04Training partners, riding partners, even Luna of Crimson Moon.
00:28:07Pick Veronica for all of it.
00:28:09I'm done.
00:28:09Violet, how long are you going to keep this up?
00:28:12You're still sulking about the trials, aren't you?
00:28:13We've been over this.
00:28:14You need to grow.
00:28:15You need your wolf.
00:28:16I'm just trying to make you stronger.
00:28:18Why don't you see I'm doing it all for you?
00:28:20To make me stronger?
00:28:21You stomped all over my dignity in public, Caden Cross.
00:28:24You hacked my hair to pieces.
00:28:26Was that to make me stronger?
00:28:27Or to prove your loyalty to Veronica?
00:28:30What the hell is that supposed to mean?
00:28:31Don't think I can't see your angle?
00:28:33The Alpha has several sons.
00:28:35Your claim isn't safe.
00:28:36And Veronica is Bait Logan's favorite daughter.
00:28:38With her at your side, you think that seed is yours.
00:28:41You keep saying it's for my own good.
00:28:44You did all this to make Veronica happy.
00:28:47You've lost your mind.
00:28:48Don't judge me with your bitter, twisted bullshit.
00:28:50I don't need any woman's help.
00:28:51Am I lying?
00:28:52You know, deep down, what the truth is.
00:28:56Be strong, Violet.
00:28:58Your new life is right ahead.
00:29:05Is Violet still upset about earlier, Caden?
00:29:07Girls are sensitive.
00:29:09She's just jealous over you.
00:29:11Ignore her.
00:29:12Let her sulk.
00:29:13Honestly, there's one sure way to make a girl fall in line.
00:29:16Make her jealous.
00:29:17The sweeter you are to me, the more threatened she feels.
00:29:20Give it a little while.
00:29:21She'll come running back in tears, begging you to forgive her.
00:29:25Jealous?
00:29:26Threatened?
00:29:29See?
00:29:30It's working.
00:29:31Play along, Caden.
00:29:42Oh, my God.
00:29:44Caden really did dump Violet.
00:29:46He should have done it ages ago.
00:29:47That wolf-less loser was totally dragging him down.
00:29:52Exactly.
00:29:53Violet was never good enough for Caden.
00:29:55Veronica is perfect for him.
00:29:58Seventeen years.
00:29:59We grew up side by side.
00:30:02Turns out I never knew him at all.
00:30:04Let's end it here, Caden.
00:30:10You said she'd come apologize and make peace?
00:30:13It's not working at all.
00:30:15Wow, Caden, she's got a bigger temper than I thought.
00:30:18Absolutely no respect.
00:30:20Everyone's right, you know?
00:30:22Why haven't you rejected her yet?
00:30:24Know your place, Veronica.
00:30:26Don't ever let me hear that again.
00:30:30Damn it.
00:30:31Caden's heart still belongs to that vile bitch.
00:30:33Violet, he won't let you go.
00:30:35I'll destroy you myself.
00:30:41Violet Black.
00:30:42Cute act, back at the lockers.
00:30:44Who is it for?
00:30:45You think playing hard to get will make Caden come after you?
00:30:47Please.
00:30:48You saw it.
00:30:48His arms were around me.
00:30:49I'm not interested in someone as cold and selfish as Caden Cross.
00:30:52If you're so obsessed with picking up my leftovers, you can have him.
00:30:56My gift to you.
00:30:57You dare talk to me like that?
00:30:59Who the hell do you think you are, Violet?
00:31:02Violet Black, I'm going to turn Caden against you.
00:31:04Once and for all.
00:31:06Ah, it hurts!
00:31:08Violet!
00:31:09I know you blame me for stealing your moment at the arena.
00:31:12That doesn't mean you can shove me into a wall!
00:31:14Moon Goddess!
00:31:15I saw it myself.
00:31:16Violet shoved Veronica straight into the wall.
00:31:18That's vicious.
00:31:19She's so jealous she almost killed her own sister.
00:31:21She's not just wolf-less trash.
00:31:22She's a poisonous bitch.
00:31:26Violet Black, what did you just do?
00:31:28You're insane!
00:31:29It wasn't me.
00:31:30She threw herself into the wall.
00:31:32Enough!
00:31:33Sulking because you were upset is one thing.
00:31:35I never thought you were cruel.
00:31:37You pushed her.
00:31:38We all saw it.
00:31:39Now you're trying to pin the blame on her.
00:31:40What's wrong with you?
00:31:42I told you it wasn't me.
00:31:44Still no remorse.
00:31:45You've disappointed me.
00:31:46I can't have a mate with a heart this poisonous.
00:31:49Apologize to Veronica and earn her forgiveness.
00:31:51Do it now, or I reject you in front of everyone.
00:31:54Moon Goddess.
00:31:56Violet has no wolf.
00:31:57A rejection would kill her.
00:31:59Caden is really angry this time.
00:32:01Violet is nothing without Caden.
00:32:03If she wants to survive here, she'll be on her knees begging any second.
00:32:0717 years we've known each other.
00:32:10All that time.
00:32:11And it never earned me a shred of your trust.
00:32:14You want to reject me?
00:32:16Then have it your way, Caden Cross.
00:32:19What are you saying?
00:32:22I, Violet Black, hereby reject Caden Cross as my fainted mate.
00:32:29Are you insane?
00:32:31You're actually going to break our mate bond?
00:32:32This is what you always wanted.
00:32:33Drop the dead weight.
00:32:34Go be with your precious bitch.
00:32:36Oh, a selfish Alpha and a scheming, spiteful Luna, you're a perfect match.
00:32:39You'll never change.
00:32:40Fine.
00:32:41I, Caden Cross, accept your rejection.
00:32:4717 years?
00:32:48It's over, Caden.
00:32:50The good memories you gave me, the humiliation, the wounds, all of it, good and bad, ends right now.
00:32:56Starting now, we are nothing to each other.
00:32:59Where are you going, Violet?
00:33:01Stop right there!
00:33:04Go to hell and stay there, you scum.
00:33:17If I'd embarrass myself like that, I'd crawl into a hole.
00:33:20What a joke.
00:33:21That wolf-less loser had the nerve to reject Caden in public?
00:33:24Look at her now.
00:33:25Serves her right.
00:33:26All of you, shut up!
00:33:28It hurts.
00:33:29My head is spinning.
00:33:30Violet pushed me.
00:33:31I think I have a concussion.
00:33:32Take me to a doctor first, Caden.
00:33:33I can't hold on much longer.
00:33:35Exactly.
00:33:35Violet shoved her into a wall.
00:33:37Veronica is hurt badly.
00:33:38She should go to the hospital first.
00:33:39Right.
00:33:40Violet's got to learn her lesson.
00:33:41Forget her.
00:33:42Hey, maybe the pain will even awaken her wolf.
00:33:46Violet!
00:33:47Lift your head.
00:33:49Apologize to Veronica.
00:33:50Admit everything you did today, and I'll carry you to the healer myself.
00:33:53I might even take it all back and restore our mate bond.
00:33:56Me?
00:33:57Apologize to her?
00:33:58Give me a thousand lifetimes and the answer is still no.
00:34:01Fine.
00:34:02Just perfect.
00:34:03I gave you the chance.
00:34:04This is all on you now.
00:34:05If you won't change, Violet, I will never repair our mate bond.
00:34:08You'll spend your life a rejected, worthless nobody.
00:34:13So this is my last look at you, leaving with another girl in your arms.
00:34:17It doesn't matter now.
00:34:19None of it does.
00:34:21Because I'm leaving you for good, Caden.
00:34:23Don't be so upset, Caden.
00:34:25You spoiled Violet, that's all.
00:34:27She acts out because she thinks you can't live without her.
00:34:31Let her lie at the bottom of those stairs a while.
00:34:33Then she'll learn who really rules this pack.
00:34:36Why is my chest so hallow?
00:34:37Why does it feel like I'm losing Violet forever?
00:34:39No, something is wrong here.
00:34:41I'll drop Veronica at the infirmary.
00:34:42Then I'm going straight back for her.
00:34:45Violet's locker is empty?
00:34:46Why is it empty?
00:34:51Why is Violet's locker empty?
00:34:53Did she drop out of the academy?
00:34:55Young Master Caden, you didn't know?
00:34:58Violet finished all her transfer paperwork.
00:35:00She hasn't just left the academy.
00:35:01She's left Crimson Moon Pack completely.
00:35:06Transferred out of the pack?
00:35:08That's impossible.
00:35:09No!
00:35:18I used to think I'd die without Caden.
00:35:20Then he became the one who hurt me the most.
00:35:23I thought leaving would be hard.
00:35:25It was just a few steps to the school gate.
00:35:28I did it.
00:35:50Sweet Moon Goddess.
00:35:52That's Nightshade Pack's own motorcade.
00:35:53Richest, strongest pack in the realm.
00:35:55Why would they show up at our little pack's gate?
00:35:57What's big enough to bring them here?
00:36:07Violet!
00:36:14You're safe now, Violet.
00:36:16I'm here.
00:36:17No one touches you again.
00:36:19No one touches you again.
00:36:36Have you seen Violet?
00:36:37Where is she?
00:36:38Answer me!
00:36:40No.
00:36:40No way, Violet.
00:36:41She couldn't have.
00:36:43I thought I'd never have a mate of my own.
00:36:46Thank the Moon Goddess for you, Violet.
00:36:51No.
00:36:52No way, Violet's just bluffing.
00:36:53If she left Crimson Moon, she'd have nowhere to go.
00:36:55Out there, a wolfless girl die in a ditch.
00:36:57She didn't really leave me.
00:36:58Young Master Caden?
00:36:59Violet?
00:37:00I think she went to the school gate.
00:37:06Caden Cross.
00:37:08We had something real once.
00:37:10But so is the disgust you've shown me now.
00:37:13Our 17 years together end here.
00:37:16I'm not a weakling dragging you down anymore.
00:37:19You won't have to wait for me to break under your cruel, endless trials.
00:37:24You're rid of me.
00:37:25I've let you go.
00:37:26This is goodbye.
00:37:28Forever.
00:37:37That was Violet?
00:37:48Smile for the camera.
00:37:50Check out this wolfless mummy.
00:37:52Come on, bring out your wolf.
00:37:55Still nothing?
00:37:56What a coward.
00:37:57You're such a loser.
00:38:00I have no wolf.
00:38:02My classmates think that's enough reason to tie me to a tree like a mummy.
00:38:05They say it's for my own good, but it'll unlock my potential.
00:38:09The perfect excuse to bully me.
00:38:11I thought the pain was my limit.
00:38:14The shame of being goffed at like a clown?
00:38:16I was wrong.
00:38:18What broke me was the two people standing dead center in that laughter.
00:38:23My stepsister Veronica, who torments me then plays innocent.
00:38:27And Caden, my childhood sweetheart of 17 years.
00:38:32No.
00:38:33No.
00:38:37Violet, quit pouting like you're the victim.
00:38:40Everything we do is for your own good.
00:38:43You're already 17, but there's still no sign of a wolf in you.
00:38:48Stay this week, and you won't survive.
00:38:52Exactly, Violet.
00:38:54Caden is the future alpha of Crimson Moon Pack.
00:38:56He carries this whole pack he deserves better.
00:38:59We can't have a useless, wolfless loser as our Luna to be.
00:39:02Is being weak a crime?
00:39:04No wolf, so I'm worth nothing?
00:39:08So you get to bully me?
00:39:11I'm your mate, Caden.
00:39:13Why are you being so cruel to me?
00:39:16Weak means a burden, Violet.
00:39:18Weak means dead weight.
00:39:20You have to get stronger.
00:39:22We are trying to help you.
00:39:25Stop resenting us.
00:39:26Be grateful.
00:39:30Hey, I got something special for you.
00:39:33Something you're scared of more than anything in the world.
00:39:37You think this will finally bring out your wolf?
00:39:42No.
00:39:43No, please.
00:39:45I'm begging you.
00:39:50Look at her!
00:39:52Not a single bit of wolf fur on her.
00:39:55Spineless.
00:39:56Pathetic.
00:39:56How does trash like that become our Luna?
00:40:04Even this isn't enough?
00:40:06Poor Violet.
00:40:07Maybe we need something a little more dramatic?
00:40:11How about we cut off all that pretty hair?
00:40:15It's the thing you treasure most, isn't it?
00:40:17What a pretty shade of gold.
00:40:21Just like your dead mommy.
00:40:23No!
00:40:24Don't, Caden!
00:40:26Please, don't let her do this!
00:40:28Caden, please!
00:40:29Please!
00:40:31You know my hair means everything to me!
00:40:39It's just hair, Violet.
00:40:40It grows back.
00:40:42If the shock wakes your wolf, it'll be worth it.
00:40:46Do it, Veronica.
00:40:48Yes!
00:40:50Yes!
00:41:11No!
00:41:12No!
00:41:18Well, she's let us all down again, wolfless as ever. Cut her down.
00:41:35Don't look at me like that, Violet. It's all for your own good.
00:41:39For my own good?
00:41:41Look me in the eye, Caden.
00:41:43This isn't a trial. This is bullying. This is abuse.
00:41:51Violet, don't be so sensitive. We've got to force you to train or you'd never last.
00:41:56You're too weak to earn a place in this pack.
00:41:58Veronica's right. These trials are training. Every one of them is for your own good.
00:42:03Training? Torturing me is your idea of help?
00:42:07Seventeen years, Caden. Seventeen!
00:42:11We grew up together. You're my fated mate. And now you'd rather be their accomplice?
00:42:17Did I go too far?
00:42:22You're the true alpha-to-be of Crimson Moon, Caden. You can't go soft over a wolfless girl.
00:42:28If word gets out, what will the other packs think of you? Of us?
00:42:34Enough, Violet. You're a weakling without a wolf.
00:42:39Weaklings don't get to make noise.
00:42:42Want dignity? Go win it back.
00:42:45Don't stand here snivering.
00:42:46I've lost count of how many times they've done this. They call it building character. The license giving them full
00:42:53reign to bully me.
00:42:57Too slow, Violet. You can't even dodge that. Your reflexes are pathetic. This is about training your instincts.
00:43:12You can't even push that off. Your strength is a joke. Looks like you need more pressure training.
00:43:22I kept waiting. Waiting for Caden to wake up. Waiting for him to remember our seventeen years together. Waiting for
00:43:31one look back.
00:43:34Now I finally get it. He saw my pain. He just didn't care.
00:43:43When someone has nothing left to lose, she's finally been set free.
00:43:50Caden.
00:43:51What now?
00:43:54If having no wolf makes me this disgusting to you, I'll go.
00:44:00You're all bluff. Leave Crimson Moon? Leave me? Where would a wolf-less reject like you go?
00:44:06I used to think Caden was a part of me I could never lose.
00:44:10But when it starts to rot, you have to cut it away.
00:44:16It hurts.
00:44:17But at least this time, I hold the knife.
00:44:21Violet, where are you going?
00:44:22Caden, you're the future alpha.
00:44:26Stop indulging her tantrums.
00:44:28Let her spend the night in the woods.
00:44:30The freezing cold will teach her to behave by morning.
00:44:54Mrs. Imogen, it's me.
00:44:57Violet, sweetheart, what happened?
00:45:00Mrs. Imogen, it's me.
00:45:03Is that still good?
00:45:04I've decided.
00:45:06I'm breaking my mate bond with Caden.
00:45:10I'm leaving this pack for good.
00:45:21No pain in my body comes close to this.
00:45:24Every wound scabs over.
00:45:25A cut might never heal.
00:45:27If the one who cut you is the one you let into your heart.
00:45:30Someone you loved with everything you had.
00:45:32Caden and I were born on the same day.
00:45:34We opened our eyes just minutes apart.
00:45:37We were inseparable as kids.
00:45:39Every secret, every laugh, we shared it all.
00:45:42When we were five, he fell from a tall tree.
00:45:44I was the one who broke his fall with my own body.
00:45:47I saved his life, but it made me frail, too weak to get my will.
00:45:51Caden cried and swore an oath.
00:45:53He would be my shadow and my knight for life.
00:45:56After my mother died, Caden promised to always protect me.
00:46:00No one would ever hurt me.
00:46:01Oh, my God.
00:46:04And we felt it.
00:46:05The mate bond, right on schedule.
00:46:07I thought he was the moon godness' finest gift to me.
00:46:09But then a year ago, father brought his illegitimate daughter home.
00:46:13My stepsister, Veronica.
00:46:14Kaden was drawn to Veronica's strength, pure wolf instinct.
00:46:18Ever since, he's looked at me, the wolfless one, differently.
00:46:22Went from disappointment to pure ice.
00:46:27Violet doesn't even have a wolf, Kaden.
00:46:29Keep her close and she becomes your weakness.
00:46:31If you really want to help her, put her through the harshest trials possible.
00:46:37Again and again, Kaden listened to her poison.
00:46:40He called it a test.
00:46:41Then he said it'd unlock my potential.
00:46:44Used it to ground my dignity under his heel.
00:46:49That's our future Luna? Violet? She doesn't deserve it.
00:46:54Look at her, she doesn't even have a wolf. What a joke.
00:47:00Isn't this going too far?
00:47:02Violet didn't do anything wrong.
00:47:07Violet was humiliated because she's weak.
00:47:09In Crimson Moonpack, weakness is a disgrace.
00:47:11Weaklings don't get sympathy.
00:47:12I should have seen it sooner.
00:47:14To Kaden, I'm nothing.
00:47:15A waste of space.
00:47:16Our 17 years together got me nothing but public humiliation.
00:47:23Violet, sweetheart, everything's in order.
00:47:26I swore to your mother I would take care of you before she passed.
00:47:28I filed the formal transfer papers in Nightshade Pack's name.
00:47:31We'll come for you tomorrow, right on time.
00:47:33You think I'm a weakling, Kaden Cross? A disgrace?
00:47:36Fine, I'm walking out of your world for good.
00:47:38Soon, you'll never be embarrassed by my weakness again.
00:47:46Violet, pick up. Stop sulking.
00:47:48Fine, yesterday's trial went a little far.
00:47:50I brought your favorite strawberry cake compensation.
00:47:52I'll be downstairs in ten minutes to take you to school.
00:47:55Be a good girl.
00:47:57No more tantrums.
00:47:58Seventeen years of devotion.
00:48:00My dignity.
00:48:01The hair.
00:48:01My connection to my mother.
00:48:03All of it.
00:48:04Destroyed.
00:48:05Even now, he thinks it's just a tantrum.
00:48:09Look at you.
00:48:11Ridiculous.
00:48:12Hideous.
00:48:13What the hell did you do to your hair?
00:48:15You're a disgrace to the black name.
00:48:18I didn't do this to my hair.
00:48:20Veronica hacked it off herself.
00:48:21Kaden helped, you know?
00:48:22Held me down while she cut.
00:48:23They tied me to a tree like a clown for two hours.
00:48:26They're bullying me.
00:48:27Nonsense.
00:48:28Bullying?
00:48:28Kaden told me it was training to unlock your potential.
00:48:30It wouldn't be happening if you had a wolf.
00:48:32Father, I can't take any more of these trials.
00:48:34I want to leave the Academy, please.
00:48:37Leave the Academy?
00:48:39What nonsense is this, Violet?
00:48:44Veronica, good timing.
00:48:45Were you really bullying Violet last night?
00:48:47Oh God, Violet.
00:48:48How could you lie about me and Kaden like that?
00:48:50And to Dad?
00:48:51Exactly, Logan.
00:48:52Don't listen to a word of Violet's nonsense.
00:48:54Veronica and Kaden were only trying to wake her wolf?
00:48:56Now Violet's acting ungrateful and calling it bullying?
00:49:01Are you jealous that Father spoils me sometimes, Violet?
00:49:03Is that why you hurt yourself?
00:49:05You even cut your own hair just for attention.
00:49:07If you can't stand me, just say so.
00:49:09Yell at me if you want.
00:49:09You don't have to do this to yourself.
00:49:11Violet Black.
00:49:12You lying, ungrateful girl.
00:49:13Your stepmother and Veronica care so much about you.
00:49:16You're lying about your own sister?
00:49:17I'm lying about her?
00:49:19Look at me, Father.
00:49:19You'd rather believe a bastard's tears than see your own daughter's scars.
00:49:22Shut up!
00:49:23Veronica is the finest, most obedient daughter in this house.
00:49:25Look at yourself.
00:49:26Seventeen and no wolf.
00:49:27Worst of all, it made you a bitter, lying brat.
00:49:29You're nothing compared to her.
00:49:31Obedient?
00:49:32My mother held your hand on her deathbed, Father.
00:49:34She had to swear you'd take care of me.
00:49:35Did you look her in the eyes when you lied?
00:49:36You think you've kept your word to her?
00:49:38How dare you talk back to me, you ungrateful child!
00:49:42Stop!
00:49:45Beta Logan, don't.
00:49:47Last night was a misunderstanding.
00:49:48Violet was spooked by what happened.
00:49:50I'll take her to school and sort it out today.
00:49:52I'm letting this slide because Caden's speaking up for you.
00:49:54Don't embarrass me again.
00:49:57Come with me, Violet.
00:49:58We need to talk.
00:49:59This is my family.
00:50:00This is my mate.
00:50:01Nobody cares about the truth.
00:50:03Nobody protects me.
00:50:05It doesn't matter.
00:50:06Today I leave this hell forever.
00:50:13Fine.
00:50:14I admit it, Violet.
00:50:16Last night, things went too far.
00:50:17But it was for your own good.
00:50:18You're my future Luna.
00:50:19If you can't handle a little pressure, how will you rule Crimson Moon pack with me?
00:50:22And what if it didn't work?
00:50:23If they left me crippled for life?
00:50:25What if I died, Caden?
00:50:26Don't be dramatic.
00:50:27That wouldn't kill anyone.
00:50:28It was training.
00:50:29Veronica and I just want to awaken your wolf.
00:50:31If you had a wolf, you'd never have gotten hurt anyways.
00:50:33That's the real problem here.
00:50:34You're weak.
00:50:35You're not Luna material.
00:50:36Weak.
00:50:37No wolf.
00:50:37Every word out of his mouth is about how I'm not enough.
00:50:40He's forgotten why I've always been frail, too weak to awaken my wolf.
00:50:43I sacrificed my health to save his life.
00:50:46I know.
00:50:46I know you saved me and it wrecked your health.
00:50:48That's exactly why I'm doing whatever it takes to bring out your wolf.
00:50:50Don't you get it?
00:50:53If you were strong and sensible like Veronica, none of this would have happened.
00:50:56So that's all it is.
00:50:58You think I'm weak.
00:50:59You think I'm not fit to be your Luna.
00:51:00Alright then.
00:51:01I, Violet Black, reject you, Caden Cross, as my fated mate.
00:51:05Have you lost your mind?
00:51:07Now you're resorting to a rejection, Violet?
00:51:09Without me, you'd never even survive.
00:51:11Enough.
00:51:12You're upset.
00:51:13You're sulking.
00:51:13I get it.
00:51:14Last night was too rough for you.
00:51:15Can't you just take it as a joke?
00:51:16What's the big deal?
00:51:17A joke?
00:51:18My dignity?
00:51:20My hair?
00:51:21The last connection to my mother?
00:51:22It's all just a joke to you?
00:51:24Stop guilt-tripping me.
00:51:25Get in the car.
00:51:26We're going to school.
00:51:27Whatever this is, we settle it there.
00:51:30Oh, Violet.
00:51:31How can you be so childish?
00:51:33Talking back to the future alpha like that.
00:51:35So disrespectful.
00:51:37Caden, I don't know what's wrong with me today.
00:51:39I'm so dizzy.
00:51:40I feel awful.
00:51:42Can I ride to school in your car?
00:51:44Of course, Veronica.
00:51:45Take the back seat, Violet.
00:51:53Violet, the passenger seat in my car is your throne.
00:51:55Got it?
00:51:56You're the only one who'll ever ride with me.
00:51:57Nobody else.
00:51:59What's going on?
00:52:00Is Violet throwing a fit over last night?
00:52:02How dare she?
00:52:03Caden spoils her way too much.
00:52:06Where's the future Alpha's dignity?
00:52:09I'm not sitting in the back.
00:52:17I'm done with your tantrums.
00:52:18Quit sulking, Violet.
00:52:20I don't have time to pamper you.
00:52:21Fix your attitude.
00:52:22Before then, you're not riding in my car.
00:52:24Veronica, get in.
00:52:26There is no more time left for us.
00:52:29Caden.
00:52:31We'll never ride to school together again.
00:52:34Never again.
00:52:39Violet, sweetie.
00:52:39Everything's set.
00:52:40The nightshade pack car is already on its way to you.
00:52:43Someone will handle the transfer paperwork with your school directly.
00:52:46Thank you, Miss Imogene.
00:52:48I'm ready.
00:52:53Look at that stupid face.
00:52:55Not a hint of Wolf.
00:52:57And she still gets to be Caden's mate.
00:52:58Right?
00:52:59Veronica is the beta's pride and joy.
00:53:01Strong, too.
00:53:02She and Caden are made for each other.
00:53:04That wolf-less girl should get out of our pack already.
00:53:07Hey, look at our Luna-to-be.
00:53:09What are you hiding under that hood?
00:53:11The hell is that on your head?
00:53:12A bird's nest?
00:53:15Caden, look.
00:53:16I got another A in close combat this week.
00:53:19Coach says my power beats half the boys.
00:53:22Not bad, Veronica.
00:53:23A body like that is what a pack's Luna needs.
00:53:27Pack tradition is clear.
00:53:28To take the alpha seat, my fated mate must stand beside me as Luna.
00:53:31But Violet is far too weak.
00:53:32She doesn't even have a wolf.
00:53:34She can't carry Luna's weight.
00:53:35Then force her to break the mate bond, Caden.
00:53:37Once the mate bond is gone, she can't drag you down.
00:53:40No more guilt trips.
00:53:42Break the mate bond?
00:53:44Exactly.
00:53:45After all those trials, she's totally close to breaking.
00:53:47Violet's a weakling.
00:53:48She'll never wake her wolf.
00:53:50Let her break.
00:53:51She'll give up.
00:53:52Then you're free.
00:53:52So that is the truth behind every trial.
00:53:55Caden, you weren't hoping for me to wake my wolf.
00:53:57You were waiting for me to break.
00:53:59The perfect setup.
00:54:00An excuse to get rid of me.
00:54:02Your burden.
00:54:03You'll get exactly what you want.
00:54:05Soon.
00:54:08Caden?
00:54:09Violet's weak.
00:54:10She's a headache, sure.
00:54:11But I will never go against the Moon Goddess plans.
00:54:14The Moon Goddess gave her to me.
00:54:15She's mine.
00:54:16What happens between us is nobody else's business.
00:54:19Don't ever mention breaking the mate bond in front of me again.
00:54:26That bitch, Violet.
00:54:31Violet.
00:54:32Nightshade's transfer papers hit my desk last night.
00:54:34They were marked urgent.
00:54:35The wording was blunt.
00:54:36Withdrawing and transferring is a big deal.
00:54:38Does Beta Logan know?
00:54:39And Caden, your fated mate, the future Alpha.
00:54:41Does he know?
00:54:42Look at yourself.
00:54:43Seventeen years old and still no wolf.
00:54:45And that nasty, bitter attitude.
00:54:47You're nothing compared to Veronica and you'll never be.
00:54:49Enough, Violet.
00:54:51You're a weakling with no wolf.
00:54:52That's on you.
00:54:53In our world, weaklings don't get to talk back.
00:54:56In this house, in this pack, nobody ever cared whether I lived or died.
00:55:00To them, leaving will just mean their dead weight is finally gone.
00:55:03It doesn't matter.
00:55:04With Nightshade's papers, I don't need their permission.
00:55:06Right?
00:55:08Thank you, Headmaster.
00:55:09And please, keep this quiet.
00:55:14You actually showed up at school, Violet?
00:55:17Last night should have opened your eyes to the truth.
00:55:19I'm Dad's favorite daughter.
00:55:20I'm the one Caden really wants.
00:55:22Everything you once had, it's mine now.
00:55:24When are you getting the hell out of this pack runt?
00:55:26You can take everything I have.
00:55:27But there's one thing you'll never change, Veronica.
00:55:30What?!
00:55:31The Moon Goddess gave Caden and me a fated mate bond.
00:55:33One of a kind.
00:55:34And you?
00:55:35Scheme all you want.
00:55:36Take him however you can.
00:55:36You'd still be nothing but a lowly chosen mate.
00:55:38The Moon Goddess will never recognize you.
00:55:41You're the backup.
00:55:42Nothing more.
00:55:43Shut your mouth!
00:55:44You don't even have a wolf spirit, you piece of trash!
00:55:47Fine, Violet.
00:55:48You talk tough.
00:55:49Let's both watch what happens.
00:55:51I already made Caden strip your dignity in public for me.
00:55:54Even hacked off your hair.
00:55:55Next I'll have him throw you away himself, out the door, for good!
00:56:02The annual realm-wide werewolf trials begin soon.
00:56:05Crimson Moon Pack will send its very best.
00:56:08Today is the pair riding selection.
00:56:10I was a frail kid, always bad at everything.
00:56:13Then Mom taught me to ride and I finally had something I loved.
00:56:16Every year after, Caden and I rode the pair event together.
00:56:19I've decided to leave, but I came anyway.
00:56:21One last look at those horses.
00:56:23You're still hurt, Violet.
00:56:25Can you even ride today?
00:56:28Caden, Violet just had that trial last night.
00:56:30Look at her, still bruised. She can barely stand.
00:56:33You can't put her on a horse.
00:56:34She'll get hurt or worse, drag your score down.
00:56:36Gosh, we can't let that happen to the Alpha to B.
00:56:38Ride with me today, Caden.
00:56:39But it's always been Violet and me, it's-
00:56:40Just this once.
00:56:42Violet's so weak right now.
00:56:43You don't want her humiliating herself in public again, do you?
00:56:45Fine.
00:56:46You're hurt, Violet.
00:56:47Sit this one out.
00:56:48Veronica rides with me today.
00:56:49We raised this horse together.
00:56:51It was always you and me.
00:56:53Don't look at me like that.
00:56:54If you weren't so weak, Veronica'd never get the chance to replace you.
00:56:58Look, I know this matters to you.
00:57:00Next time we ride together.
00:57:01I promise.
00:57:02Now move.
00:57:07Next time?
00:57:09There is no next time for us, Caden.
00:57:11Not ever.
00:57:15Oh God!
00:57:16Caden, wait!
00:57:18What is it, Veronica?
00:57:22The clasp on my sports bra just came undone.
00:57:25Can you hook it for me, Caden?
00:57:26I can't quite reach.
00:57:29Holy shit, that's so hot!
00:57:32Damn, look at that body.
00:57:34Then look at Violet.
00:57:35No wolf and no figure.
00:57:37Is this even a competition?
00:57:39Caden is Violet's fated mate.
00:57:41And Veronica has him hooking her bra in front of everyone.
00:57:45That's a slap in Violet's face.
00:57:47Is Caden about to reject her mate Veronica official?
00:57:51Enough.
00:57:53Stop making a scene.
00:57:54I hooked a bra.
00:57:56It was a favor.
00:57:58Nobody get ideas.
00:58:00Veronica and I are friends and teammates.
00:58:03That's all.
00:58:04Just friends and teammates?
00:58:06I'm your fated mate, Caden?
00:58:07You never touched me.
00:58:09My missing wolf disgusted you.
00:58:11But you'll fix her bra.
00:58:14What am I to you?
00:58:16Done.
00:58:18Thank you, Caden.
00:58:20I'll ride my very best out there.
00:58:28Wow, Caden.
00:58:29You ride so well.
00:58:31I feel so safe in your big strong arms.
00:58:42Remember this, Violet.
00:58:44This saddle.
00:58:46These arms.
00:58:47They're yours alone.
00:58:49Forever.
00:58:50No one else in this world gets to sit here.
00:58:53Only you.
00:58:55Mine alone.
00:58:57I treasured that promise once.
00:58:59Now it just looks like a joke.
00:59:01No one else.
00:59:08No one else in this world gets to sit here.
00:59:10It's amazing.
00:59:14Woah!
00:59:15No one else.
00:59:17Wow!
00:59:19Get you up!
00:59:20I hereby declare the winners of today's pair riding!
00:59:24Caden and Veronica!
00:59:36Something feels off.
00:59:37I don't know why.
00:59:39No, I'm overthinking it.
00:59:41Violet's always been jealous.
00:59:43I'll go smoothing it over later.
00:59:49Take the horse back to the stable, Caden.
00:59:51Violet looks so lonely over there.
00:59:54I'll go comfort her.
00:59:56We don't want her getting the wrong idea about us.
01:00:00Go ahead, Veronica.
01:00:01You're always so kind.
01:00:11Hey, sis.
01:00:12Up on that horse just now?
01:00:15Caden was pressed so tight against me.
01:00:18I could feel his abs with my butt.
01:00:23Oh, and not just his abs.
01:00:25Guess what?
01:00:26He got hard.
01:00:29I could feel his abs.
01:00:30I could feel his abs.
01:00:31I could feel his abs.
01:00:32I could feel his abs.
01:00:32That's it.
01:00:32I could feel his abs.
01:00:35You
