Short filmTranscript
00:07My father's eyes blazed with a terrifying golden light as he barked the command.
00:14The Alpha Command crushed down on my knees, driving me hard into the mud.
00:19My mother gazed down at me.
00:21Selina is an Omega.
00:23If her wolf enters Silver Moon prison, the Silver will torture her to death.
00:28Lyra, you're the older sister. You go.
00:32My adopted younger sister, an Omega, drove drunk and killed a human.
00:37Yet, my parents wanted me to take the fall.
00:41You killed a human. You must go to prison.
00:45My biological father pinned every ounce of guilt onto me.
00:51I couldn't hold back the tears.
00:53No, I won't. I didn't kill anyone.
00:57Why should I go to prison? I'm your real daughter.
01:00My father's fury erupted.
01:02You don't have a choice!
01:08The pure silver shackles locked tight around my wrists.
01:12My skin sizzled and burned where the metal touched it, searing pain drilling straight into the bones.
01:21Desperately, I looked Kaelin.
01:23He was the strongest Alpha in the pack.
01:26The top-ranked dominant and my fated mate.
01:29He only stared down at me with a cold gaze.
01:37Lyra, go.
01:39When you come out, we'll complete the mate bond.
01:41He reached out and stroked my face.
01:44These seven years, just bear it.
01:47Just this once.
01:51I collapsed into despair, screaming.
01:55No!
02:05Seven years later.
02:06Lyra, now that you're leaving Silvermoon Prison, keep your wolf under control.
02:11Don't look back.
02:16Dragging my ruined leg, I limped out through the Iron Gate.
02:19A car was waiting just beyond the territory boundary.
02:23The window rolled down, and Kaelin's face emerged.
02:29Lyra.
02:30Seven years, and he hadn't changed at all.
02:33I dragged my crippled leg into the car.
02:37In the rearview mirror, I saw my face.
02:40A map of scars seared into the skin by Silver.
02:44You've suffered these seven years.
02:46I'll keep my promise.
02:47At the next full moon, I'll mark you formally.
02:51You'll become my Luna.
02:54Kaelin reached over and laid his hand over my rough, scarred knuckles.
02:58I looked into his gold-green eyes and slowly pulled my hand away.
03:04The wolf inside me couldn't even summon a whimper.
03:10Seven years in Silvermoon Prison had shown me exactly who Kaelin was.
03:18Who my family was.
03:19You don't have a choice!
03:22They had never loved me.
03:26And I no longer had any desire to be his mate.
03:29Sensing my indifference, Kaelin grew irritated.
03:32Selina knew you were coming back today.
03:34Her stress disorder flared up again.
03:37Your whole family is at the Territory Hospital, soothing her.
03:40I closed my eyes.
03:43The SUV drove into the heart of the Crescent Moon Pax territory.
03:47An hour later, we arrived at my home.
03:50Only a Beta housekeeper and a few Omega servants were in the main house.
03:54They caught the inferior scent clinging to me.
03:56And didn't bother to hide their disgust.
04:00The Beta housekeeper offered Kaelin a respectful salute before finally turning to me.
04:05Miss Lyra, the Lunar says that now you're back, you're to stay inside your own scent circle.
04:10Don't wander around.
04:11Don't bring shame to the pack.
04:13Shame.
04:14I'd endured seven years of Silver burning my flesh in Selina's place.
04:18And somehow I was the shame?
04:22But I'd stopped expecting anything from them seven years ago, on that night of thunder and rain.
04:28Understood.
04:30I turned toward the side door.
04:32Kaelin received a mind link.
04:33His pupils snapped vertically.
04:35Lyra, Selina's vital signs are weak.
04:38She needs me.
04:39I'll go check on her.
04:40Get some rest.
04:42With that, he turned and disappeared into the room.
04:50Tonight later, I went back to my assigned space, a storage closet, and curled up on the narrow wooden cot.
05:00Late at night, drifting between sleep and waking, I heard Chloe, the Beta's younger sister, speaking downstairs.
05:08Alpha father, Luna mother, Selina's mental state is terrible.
05:12Why don't we move Lyra out of the main house?
05:14Otherwise, Selina will have an episode every time she catches Lyra's scent.
05:18My father sighed, but said nothing.
05:20My mother said, she carries our blood.
05:24If we throw her out the moment she's released from prison, what will the other packs say?
05:29Then what do we do?
05:31Chloe paced anxiously.
05:35My father spoke.
05:37When Selina comes back, order Lyra to suppress all her scent signatures.
05:42She's forbidden from appearing in front of Selina.
05:45She's not allowed to take a single step out of her room.
05:48My eyes were closed, but a searing acidic burn spread deep in their sockets.
05:53Just then, my specialized communicator vibrated.
05:57An encrypted email.
05:59Miss Lyra, congratulations.
06:02You have passed the assessment for the Institute of Paranormal Confidential Research.
06:06Upon acceptance of the contract, you will depart for the sacred grounds of Domica Island under a new identity on
06:12the night of the full moon, seven days from now.
06:16Your pack identity will be permanently erased.
06:19No contact with the outside world for five years.
06:22Without a flicker of hesitation, I signed my name.
06:25Lyra.
06:26I had passed the Institute's assessment seven years ago, right before I was thrown into prison instead of joining.
06:32As my release approached, I'd applied again.
06:35I'd passed again, without surprise.
06:38Seven days.
06:39I only had to endure seven more days.
06:42Then I would sever the pack bond completely and leave forever.
06:48The next morning, I walked into the living room.
06:51A thick, clying sweetness hit me.
06:54Omega scent, heavy and dense.
06:56Selena was back.
06:58She sat at the center of the sofa in a pure white dress.
07:01Everyone crowded around her.
07:04The beta housekeeper brought out a cake.
07:06The family spoke and practiced unison.
07:10Happy birthday, Selena.
07:13Selena smiled and thanked everyone, lifting her chin.
07:16I just left the hospital.
07:17Do you have anything special for me?
07:19My parents and sister stepped forward one by one, offering expensive treasures.
07:25Kaelin was about to present his gift when he caught sight of me standing in the shadows.
07:31Lyra, you're awake.
07:33Come, celebrate Selene's birthday with us.
07:36Selena turned to me.
07:38Sister, I'm sorry.
07:40My stress disorder flared up yesterday.
07:42I couldn't go pick you up.
07:44You're not angry, are you?
07:45Before I could open my mouth, Kaelin answered for me.
07:49Lyra isn't that petty.
07:51She won't hold it against you.
07:54Selena took that as permission.
07:56Boldly, she looped her arm throughs and looked straight at me.
07:59Sister, give me a gift too.
08:02I want Kaelin as my mate.
08:05Mate stealing was taboo among the wolves.
08:08Yet she declared it openly, and not a single wolf in the room spoke a word against it.
08:13Rage boiled in my blood.
08:15I clenched my fists.
08:17And if I refuse...
08:23Selena's expression stiffened.
08:24She switched to the old wolf tongue, reserved for pure-blood aristocrats.
08:29I was only joking.
08:30I didn't expect my sister's wolf to be so savage.
08:33My luna mother responded in the same old tongue, her tone soothing.
08:37Don't be afraid, Selena.
08:39Lyra has been wandering outside too long.
08:40Her bloodline is degraded.
08:42My at-for-father released a calming pinewood scent.
08:44Blood ties don't matter.
08:46Your mother and I only recognize you as our daughter.
08:48Right, Selena.
08:49You're my only sister.
08:50I forced the bitterness down and pretended I couldn't understand a word of the old tongue.
08:55I turned to Kaelin.
08:56What are they saying?
08:58Kaelin's throat bobbed.
08:59Selena said it was just a joke.
09:01Everyone's telling you not to be so sensitive.
09:03The air reeked of lies.
09:06They had no idea.
09:07I understood every single word.
09:10My mother came from a noble, pure-blood line.
09:13My father ruled over this entire territory.
09:16From the moment they brought me back from the orphanage, they despised me for carrying too much of the stray's
09:22wildness.
09:23Every resource, every drop of love, they'd poured it all into its Selena.
09:28Ten years ago, Selena awakened a rare healing-type omega gift.
09:34The entire pack howled at the moon in ecstasy.
09:38What they didn't know was that I'd already passed the blood moon trial by then.
09:43And had taught myself the most obscure dialect of the old wolf tongue.
09:48But none of that mattered anymore.
09:50Soon, very soon, I would escape this territory for good.
09:54I just got out of Silvermoon Prison.
09:56I want to go beyond the territory boundary.
09:58Get some air.
09:59You all carry on.
10:00Under their contemptuous stares, I dragged my ruined leg towards the door.
10:05Their mockery trailed behind me.
10:08Today was my birthday, too.
10:15Beyond the territory, I suppressed my wolf's scent signature and took a bus to the lower district of Seattle.
10:20Because of my Silvermoon prison record, the pack had erased all my files.
10:24Combined with my crippled leg, the only work I could find was washing dishes in a run-down roadside diner.
10:30Just enough to survive the next ten days.
10:32At half-past eleven at night, I finished scrubbing the last plate.
10:35As I stepped out of the diner, a man climbed out of his car and strode toward me.
10:43Lyra, why have you been away from the territory so long?
10:46He grabbed my wrist and pulled me toward the vehicle.
10:49The door opened.
10:50On the back seat sat a cake.
10:53Lyra, happy birthday.
10:56Kaylin's pack and mine shared a tight border.
10:59He and I, the top-ranked alpha and I, had been bound by a mate contract since we were pups.
11:06I still remembered the first moment I saw him after returning to the territory.
11:11He stood in the sunlight, radiating brilliance.
11:15In that hostile territory, Kaylin was the only one who never scorned my wild scent.
11:21He would release his alpha dominance to shield me.
11:25He brought me gifts on holidays.
11:28He was the only soul in that entire forest who was good to me.
11:32And in the end, he was the one who personally sent me to Silvermoon Prison.
11:40Lyra?
11:41What's wrong?
11:42Did you think I forgot your birthday?
11:44Kaylin's voice pulled me back.
11:45I answered evenly.
11:48He produced another box.
11:49I lifted the lid.
11:51Inside lay a red dress.
11:54Remember when you were little?
11:55You said you wanted to wear a red dress when we completed the mate bond.
11:58I had it made in advance.
12:01Do you like it?
12:05Alpha, you're remembering wrong.
12:07I hate red.
12:08When I was lost as a child, I'd been wearing a red dress.
12:13Ever since I could form memories, every full moon night I put on red, hoping my pack could
12:18track my visual scent and bring me home.
12:20Kaylin's pupils contracted.
12:22He ruffled my hair.
12:26I'm sorry.
12:27I remembered wrong.
12:28Come on, I'll take you to a restaurant to celebrate.
12:31On the drive back, Kaylin gripped my hand tightly.
12:37Lyra, why is your scent so faint?
12:40Why are you thinner than you were seven years ago?
12:43And your leg...
12:44Before he could finish, the phone rang.
12:46The screen flashed a single word.
12:49Selina.
12:53Kaylin answered.
12:54His voice dropped into a frantic grail.
12:56Turn around!
12:57Back to the territory!
13:01The whole way, he soothed Selina through the communicator.
13:05By the time we burst back into the main house, I looked up.
13:09Selina stood on the roof's edge of the villa, still in her white dress.
13:13She looked at us.
13:15Sister's back.
13:17It's time for a defective Omega like me to step aside.
13:21Goodbye.
13:22Without another word, she jumped.
13:24The drop from roof to ground was maybe 10 meters.
13:26But when Selina fell, every single one of my family lunged forward on pure instinct.
13:32That night, ambulance sirens wailed over the territory.
13:38They all went to the hospital.
13:40I went back to my storage closet, collapsed onto the hard plank bed, and checked my communicator.
13:4612.20 a.m.
13:48The top-ranked Alpha had broken his promise.
13:50He hadn't stayed to celebrate my birthday.
13:53But my wolf didn't howl in pain.
13:56All I felt was a vast, barren emptiness.
13:59I closed my eyes and sank into sleep.
14:02The next five days, I worked at the diner.
14:05My family stayed at the hospital, wrapping at Selina in thick layers of protective scent.
14:12Not one of them set foot back in the territory.
14:14Until that day, the restaurant TV broadcast the news.
14:20Alpha Kaelin and Selina of the Crescent Moon Pack announced their binding ceremony.
14:25My pupils snapped into vertical slits.
14:29That night, I pushed open the wooden door and walked back into the territory.
14:34They were all there.
14:36At Kaelin's scent, satuated the living room.
14:39My Luna mother caught the smell of Earth on me and opened her mouth to scold me.
14:43My Alpha father silenced her with a look.
14:46Lyra, you're finally back.
14:49Selina's Omega depression is getting worse.
14:52So we've already made the decision for you.
14:54We're transferring your mate bond to Selina.
14:57You have no objections, I trust?
15:00They'd already used their authority to sever my bond.
15:03Now they stood there asking for my opinion as if it meant something.
15:09Alpha, you agreed to this too?
15:14Kaelin crossed the room in a few strides and seized my cold hand.
15:18Selim's only obsession right now is completing the binding ceremony with me.
15:22Don't worry, little wolf.
15:23I won't betray you.
15:24I'm just playing along.
15:25Going through the motions.
15:27He was about to mark another she-wolf and he expected me to believe he wouldn't betray me?
15:32I wrenched my hand from his grip.
15:35Fine.
15:37Do whatever you want.
15:39Something tightened in At Kaelin's chest.
15:42He reached for me again.
15:46Out Selina suddenly released a dense wave of sorrowful pheromones.
15:52Sister, if you're not willing, then forget it.
15:55Through her sobs, she dug her nails into the back of her own hand.
15:59Chloe rushed to stop the self-harm, then spun around and bared her fangs at me with a snarl.
16:05Lyra!
16:07Can't you smell how sick she is?
16:09Do you need the whole family to kneel before you before you'll give in?
16:14My blood sister, brainwashed completely by this twisted pack.
16:24Her roar dragged me back to the early days after I'd returned to the territory.
16:28At first, they forced me to give Selina the best den.
16:32Then, seven years ago, Selina broke the iron law.
16:36The memories ignited my rage past the breaking point.
16:39I met at Chloe's hostile glares and let out a cold laugh.
16:43Fine.
16:43If all of you kneel and submit to me, I'll agree to hand over my mate bond to Selina.
16:48The living room fell silent.
16:50None of them had expected such rebellion from me.
16:53I retreated to my cramped den.
16:56Late at night, my communicator buzzed.
16:59Kaylin.
17:00Lyra Selina once saved my life.
17:02She gave me her kidney, the primal vitality of her wolf.
17:06That's why I have to complete this binding ceremony with her.
17:09Alpha, when you were gravely wounded, it was me who saved you.
17:14I'm the one who gave you my kidney.
17:16Silence on the other end.
17:18Then, Kaylin's cold laugh.
17:20Lyra, since when did you learn to lie?
17:22Selina was the one who saved me.
17:24Your own parents can swear it on the pack's name.
17:26You've disappointed me deeply.
17:28I lay on the freezing count, unable to speak.
17:31Eight years ago, Kaylin was ambushed and critically injured.
17:35I didn't hesitate.
17:35I went through the matching.
17:37I cut away a piece of myself and gave it to him.
17:39Now my sacrifice had been stolen by that Omega,
17:43and I wasn't even allowed to prove it was mine.
17:45After a long silence, I whispered,
17:48If you don't believe me, forget it.
17:50I'd already decided to abandon you completely anyway.
17:52I cut the connection, closed my eyes, slept.
17:58The second to last day.
18:00After my final shift, I stepped out of the diner.
18:03That familiar car was parked outside the shopping center.
18:07Above Shibon Commercial Street, fireworks suddenly burst across the sky.
18:12Alpha Kaylin loves Lyra forever.
18:14I tilted my head back, staring at the night sky, lost for a long moment.
18:20Kaylin trod toward me, his voice low and soft.
18:23Yesterday was my fault.
18:25But you have to believe me.
18:26The one I truly love is you.
18:28So you don't have to lie.
18:31How did he do it?
18:34How did he join forces with my family again and again,
18:37tear into me while pinning to the ground,
18:40and still say he loved me with a straight face?
18:42He pinched my hollow cheek.
18:44You really are too thin.
18:46Why aren't you eating properly?
18:48I snapped my gaze up.
18:49I spent seven years surviving Silvermoon Prison,
18:52a place saturated with silver.
18:55My wolf fought just to stay alive.
18:57Did you think I'd have the luxury of growing a full, healthy coat?
19:02A violent shover ran through Kaylin's massive frame.
19:05Maybe just in that second, it hit him.
19:07He was the one who had personally sent me into that hell.
19:10He opened his mouth to speak.
19:12The car door swung open.
19:14Selina's voice drifted out.
19:15Alpha Kaylin,
19:16Sister,
19:18don't stand out there.
19:19The cold wind will damage your wolves.
19:23The last trace of warmth inside me died.
19:26Kaylin explained.
19:28Selina followed our scent to come see you.
19:30She says she wants to thank you for your generosity,
19:33for being willing to step aside.
19:35He bundled me into the car.
19:38In the enclosed space,
19:40Selina's gaze fell on my grease-stained thread-bake uniform.
19:44Sister,
19:45Don't mother and father have the stewards send you supplies every month?
19:49Why are you still doing menial labor in a human diner?
19:52It damages the pack's dignity.
19:54She slipped a gemstone bracelet off her wrist
19:57and held it out to me.
20:00If you're short on survival resources,
20:03this bracelet is worth $3 million.
20:06It should buy you a few good meals.
20:11$3 million.
20:12A random toy thrust to an Omega was worth $3 million.
20:16I still remembered when I'd first returned to the territory
20:18and wanted to attend a human high school.
20:21The tuition was only $3,000.
20:23I begged my Luna mother,
20:24Lyra, do I owe you something?
20:26I gave you life.
20:28You should be grateful.
20:30Why are you always so ungrateful?
20:32After that,
20:33I never asked this territory for a single scrap of meat again.
20:36The so-called steward supplies were nothing but a lie.
20:39They tilted their hearts to the extreme long ago.
20:42Look at your glossy, perfect coat.
20:44Now look at me,
20:45covered in scars.
20:47I smacked the Offerford bracelet away.
20:50Rain in your Omega pheromones.
20:53Stop putting on an act in front of me.
20:55I'm not that naive 15-year-old pup anymore.
20:57At 15,
20:59I'd yearned desperately for a pack bond with Aunt Selina.
21:02She framed me instead.
21:03Every cruel thing she did,
21:05she pinned on me.
21:06By the time I realized what was happening,
21:08the entire pack had branded me an outsider.
21:11My rebuke sent tears rolling down Selina's cheeks.
21:15The air filled with a heartbreaking, pleading scent.
21:18The moment Aunt Kalen smelled it,
21:20he pulled Selina under the shelter of his chest
21:23and snared at me.
21:24Lyra!
21:25Selina meant well.
21:26It's fine if you don't want the bracelet.
21:28There's no need to say something so vicious.
21:31Right.
21:31This was the male who claimed he loved me
21:34from the deepest part of his soul.
21:36The moment there was any friction between Aunt Selina,
21:39he always took her side.
21:41Every single time.
21:42Alpha,
21:43if someone throws a piece of rotting meat
21:44at a starving wolf as charity,
21:46must the wolf swallow it
21:47and wag its bay in gratitude?
21:49Even crushed beneath your feet,
21:51my wolf has pride worth dying for.
21:54Kalen was struck silence.
21:56Beside him,
21:57Selina's breathing suddenly grew rapid and shallow.
22:00She let out a fragile whimmer.
22:02I'm sorry.
22:03It's my fault.
22:05Don't blame sister.
22:07Kalen barked at the driver.
22:08Quick!
22:09Turn around.
22:10Get to the territory hospital.
22:11Lyra,
22:12your wolf showed too much savagery just now.
22:14You can walk back on your own.
22:17The car door shut in my face.
22:19I was left discarded on the freezing street.
22:22I watched the taillights vanish,
22:24and my heart felt nothing.
22:25No pain of being abandoned by my mate.
22:28Nothing at all.
22:30I dragged my ruined leg back to the territory main house.
22:35The villa was unusually lively.
22:38My luna mother laughed.
22:41The night after tomorrow's full moon,
22:44Selina's binding ceremony.
22:46I looked at them.
22:47Sorrow welled up from deep inside me.
22:49They had truly given every scrap of love to that omega.
22:53Tomorrow night at 9 o'clock,
22:54the extraction vehicle would arrive.
22:56After that,
22:57I'd have no need for any blood plines ever again.
23:00The night after tomorrow was Selina and Kalen's binding day.
23:03Chloe threw them a wild pre-celebration party.
23:05The next morning,
23:06since my storage closet had no water source,
23:08I had to drag my leg out to wash up.
23:11Passing the living room,
23:12I saw the young wolves playing a game.
23:14Selina and Kalen sat in the center of it all.
23:17Alpha, you lost!
23:19Truth or dare?
23:20Kalen leaned back lazily.
23:21Dare.
23:23Kiss Selina in front of everyone one full minute!
23:26The young alpha suddenly caught sight of me at the edge of the room.
23:29His grin widened.
23:31How about this?
23:32Pick any she-wolf in this room,
23:33and kiss her for one minute.
23:35Lyra!
23:36Weren't you the one who was most obsessed
23:38with the alpha?
23:39He's about to mark someone else.
23:41Why not share one last kiss with him?
23:43One last desperate memory to cling to?
23:46Kalen stood up.
23:47Step by step,
23:48he walked toward me.
23:49Kalen.
23:51There are too many people here.
23:52I'm about to make Selina my Luna.
23:54I can't humiliate her.
23:56You understand, don't you?
23:57I made a quiet sound of assent,
23:59and turned toward the washroom.
24:01Behind me,
24:01I heard the wet sounds of Kalen and Selina's mouths meeting,
24:04and the wolves excited howls.
24:07In this game where I was always the option to be discarded,
24:10I truly had to thank him for finally letting me go.
24:15Night fell.
24:17Kalen lit up the entire territory sky with fireworks for Selina.
24:21He tracked my scent and called me into the shadows.
24:25Lyra,
24:26once the full moon comes tomorrow
24:28and Selina and I finish the false binding ceremony,
24:30we can finally be together properly.
24:33I opened my dry throat.
24:37I'm sorry.
24:39I won't.
24:40Before I could finish,
24:41At Chloe came running,
24:43howling.
24:43Kalen!
24:44Come quick!
24:45Game time!
24:47Kalen called back an acknowledgement,
24:49then turned to me.
24:50What were you saying?
24:52You want what?
24:53I gave a bitter smile.
24:57Nothing.
24:58Go.
25:00Revel with your pack.
25:02Kalen squeezed my ice-cold fingers.
25:05Once tomorrow's ceremony is over,
25:07all of this will be over.
25:09He turned and strode back toward the clamorous light.
25:13I watched his back in silence.
25:15Yes,
25:17all ties were over.
25:20All the wolves flocked to Selina's lavish room.
25:23Alone,
25:24I slipped into the shadows of the main house
25:26and checked my communicator.
25:287.15pm.
25:30One hour and 45 minutes left.
25:33I washed my body with cold water,
25:36scrubbing every last trace of the territory's scent from my fur.
25:40The mirror reflected a body mapped with burned scars
25:43and whip marks from Silver Moon Prison.
25:46I put on the cleanest clothes I'd managed to keep
25:48all these years.
25:49Then I waited.
25:51The last hour.
25:52I looked around the den that had trapped me for so many years.
25:56A few ragged clothes.
25:57One thin blanket.
26:01A diary and a photo frame on the desk.
26:04I threw away every old belonging.
26:07I picked up the photo frame.
26:09Inside was a group portrait of two families,
26:12taken 12 years ago,
26:14just after I'd returned to the territory.
26:16That photo had once held every desperate hope I'd had for this pack.
26:21Now, I tore it to pieces and dropped it in the trash.
26:25Finally, I opened the diary.
26:28December 6, 2016.
26:30Sunny.
26:32I returned to the territory today.
26:34I met my Alpha and Luna.
26:36I have a home now.
26:37I'm not a stray anymore.
26:41April 1, 2017.
26:44Overcast.
26:45No food or money was allocated to me.
26:48I have to hunt for myself.
26:50July 7, 20, 2018.
26:54Sunny.
26:54I traded my prey for a necklace.
26:57My little sister didn't like it.
27:00I need to earn more.
27:01Buy her something better next time.
27:04I turned to the last entry.
27:07Written the night before I was sent to prison.
27:09Only one line.
27:11This pack doesn't love me.
27:13Not at all.
27:17A long-forgotten burn rose behind my eyes.
27:20I picked up a pen and, using the old wolf tongue,
27:25wrote my final words.
27:27I'm leaving, Alpha.
27:29Luna.
27:32Before I go,
27:34my wolf truly cannot understand.
27:37If you despised my so much,
27:39why did you search for me in the forest all those years ago?
27:44When other strays find their birth parents,
27:47they're met with endless acceptance and love.
27:49But for me,
27:51the moment you found me
27:52was the moment you found me
27:54wasn't I truly lost my parents.
27:57Chloe,
27:58you said you only, Neck,
28:00recognized Salima as your sister.
28:02Today, I grant you that wish.
28:06Kaylin,
28:07you said after the false binding ceremony
28:10we could be together again.
28:12I'm sorry.
28:13My wolf is already dead.
28:16I won't wait for you anymore.
28:18May your bond prove unbreakable.
28:21I am abandoning this territory forever.
28:24Through I-Grease-Prowse-Mensley,
28:25we will never see each other again.
28:28I finished writing,
28:30laid the diary flat on the desk,
28:32and pulled the prison medical records from my bag.
28:39I set them down on top of the diary.
28:42The scan image was unmistakable.
28:44My body contained only one kidney.
28:47The clock struck nine.
28:49I grabbed my canvas bag
28:51and limped out of the territory.
28:54Behind me,
28:55lights blazed
28:56and the pack's revelry shook the ground.
28:59Ahead of me,
29:00several matte black military armored vehicles
29:03crowd silently in the dark.
29:06Without a flicker of hesitation,
29:08I stepped across the territory boundary
29:10and walked towards my new life.
29:15Engines roared to life.
29:17The convoy pulled away swiftly,
29:19swallowing me into the boundless night.
29:24The next day,
29:26to the sound of long,
29:27drawn-out wolf howls,
29:31Selina and Kaylin's mating ceremony
29:33officially began.
29:37My Luna mother swept her gaze around
29:39and couldn't pick up Lyra's scent.
29:41She frowned and growled,
29:43Chloe, where is Lyra?
29:45If she's absent,
29:46the other packs will talk.
29:47Go!
29:48Drag Lyra out here.
29:51I'll get her.
29:53Which den is she sleeping in?
29:56The storage closet.
29:58Every dominant wolf present went still.
30:01My alpha father's brown
30:03frontaled in confusion.
30:05Why would Lyra sleep in a storage closet?
30:08The servant shook.
30:11When Miss Lyra was first brought back,
30:14there was no suitable den.
30:16The Luna said she would stay
30:17in the storage closet temporarily.
30:19That temporarily had lasted 12 years.
30:23An ugly flush rose on my Luna mother's face.
30:27She masked her guilt with a surge of dominance.
30:31Selina, dressed in pure white silk ceremonial robes,
30:35released a clining wave of pheromones.
30:37Our storage closet is still better than fighting wild dogs for scraps in the forest like she used to.
30:43Sister shouldn't feel too wronged, should she?
30:46A thread of dissonance flickered throughout Chloe's heart.
30:52Frowning, she walked toward the renected corner at the end of the corridor.
30:58The heavy wooden door creaked open.
31:00No warm scent of packmates.
31:04Only dust and mildew.
31:07Lyra's bed was pushed against a row of rusted shelving.
31:11Beside it sat an abandoned water tank.
31:15Topped with a battered desk lamp,
31:17a yellowed diary,
31:19and a stack of medical documents.
31:25Lyra wasn't there.
31:28Chloe's heart began to pound.
31:30She walked to the water tank.
31:32With trembling hands,
31:34she picked up the diary and the medical reports.
31:38Alpha Father!
31:40Luna Mother!
31:42Sister isn't in the territory,
31:44but she left these behind!
31:47Alpha Father moved to investigate,
31:49but the sound of an SUV engine
31:51and the crushing weight of a top plea Alpha's dominance
31:54rolled in from outside.
31:58Kaylin had arrived.
32:01My Luna Mother spoke first.
32:03She's probably just throwing a tantrum
32:05and ran off to the boundary.
32:09Chloe!
32:10Put those things down and come out!
32:13The Alpha is here for Selina!
32:18Alpha Father hesitated,
32:20then suppressed his unease,
32:21and turned to go out.
32:25The main hall.
32:26At Kaylin stood in the center,
32:28holding a bouquet.
32:29His face showed no trace of joy.
32:32His optory senses were filtering the air
32:35with frantic intensity.
32:36Nothing.
32:37No trace of Lyra's scent.
32:40His brow furled hard.
32:44Where is Lyra?
32:46Jealousy flashed through Lina's eyes.
32:49Kaylin,
32:50sister probably couldn't handle the stimulation.
32:53She ran out of the territory.
32:55My Luna Mother echoed her.
32:57Alpha,
32:58we failed to domesticate Lyra's wildness.
33:01Forgive us.
33:02Kaylin's wolf growled in agitation.
33:05He pulled out his communicator and messaged Lyra.
33:08Why is your wolf still so childish?
33:10Where the hell did you run off to?
33:13No response.
33:15No response.
33:15Not through Mindlink.
33:16Not through the communicator.
33:18Chloe emerged,
33:20clutching the diary and the medical reports.
33:22She'd only glanced at the report,
33:24but what she saw made her blood run cold.
33:27Why was Lyra's body in such terrible condition?
33:31Why did she only have one kidney?
33:35She had already ordered her deputy
33:37to launch a full investigation
33:39into Lyra's seven years in Silvermoon Prison.
33:44Selina broke the silence,
33:46looping her arm through Kaylin's.
33:48Alpha,
33:49our mating ceremony is about to start.
33:51Sister left.
33:53So she left.
33:54Chloe and Alpha father both frowned
33:56Selina didn't care in the slightest
33:58whether Lyra lived or died.
34:02A false finding ceremony
34:04doesn't need to go that far.
34:05You just wanted to wear the wedding dress
34:07and walk into the Moon Temple.
34:09Kaylin's voice was cold.
34:10Let's go.
34:11Get it done.
34:14He pulled his arm free
34:15and strode out of the main house,
34:17carrying a freezing area with him.
34:22Because it was a false ceremony,
34:24Kaylin had invited no guests.
34:26The temple stood empty
34:29except for the Alpha family
34:30and an elder to officiate.
34:32Selina finally shattered.
34:38This is what I wanted at all!
34:45Lyra left, so what?
34:47You still have me!
34:50Am I so inferior to that stray wild wolf?
34:54She's been to prison!
34:55How could she possibly be worthy of you?
34:59Selina,
35:00you threatened to kill yourself.
35:02You jumped off the roof!
35:04That's the only reason I agreed
35:06to this sham of a ceremony.
35:09Now we've done what you asked,
35:10I'm going to find Lyra.
35:18He fixed his eyes on her hard.
35:20And don't you forget,
35:22Lyra went to Silvermoon Prison in your place.
35:25Every wolf present turned to stone.
35:28Selina let out a piercing shriek.
35:31From somewhere on her person,
35:33she drew a silver-coated blade
35:35and pressed it to her own throat.
35:38I don't care!
35:40What makes Lyra better than me?
35:42When you were dying from your wounds,
35:45all those years ago,
35:46I was the one who gave you my kidney!
35:53My luna mother lunged to grab the knife.
35:56Selina,
35:56don't do anything reckless.
35:58Stay back!
36:02Kaylin is the only mate I want.
36:04Why can't I have him?
36:06It's all Lyra's fault.
36:08She deserves to die!
36:11Her hysterical curses echoed through the temple.
36:13The scene spiraled completely out of control.
36:22It ended with an ambulance.
36:24His palm was severely burned
36:25from wrestling the blade from her grip barehanded.
36:29He sat in the ambulance,
36:31calling and messaging Lyra like a man possessed.
36:34Lyra,
36:34the false binding ceremony is over.
36:36Where are you?
36:37Don't let anger cloud your reason.
36:38Let me come find you, alright?
36:40But Lyra's message interface remained dead silent.
36:45Territory Hospital.
36:46Outside the operating room,
36:48ignoring the blood still seeping from her own wound,
36:51my luna mother anxiously instructed the healer,
36:53My daughter is a fragile omega.
36:55She has depression.
36:56She's missing a kidney.
36:58Be gentle when you stitch her wound.
37:00Ma'am,
37:00we've done a full body scan.
37:03Her body is perfectly healthy.
37:05She is not missing a kidney.
37:07What did you say?
37:14My alpha father unleashed a crushing wave of dominance.
37:17The nurse,
37:18pinned by the pressure,
37:20repeated every word.
37:21Both alpha and luna stared,
37:23stunned,
37:24and disbelieving.
37:26At that moment,
37:27Chloe was staring at the data her deputy had sent.
37:30Medical records,
37:31matching the ones Lyra had left behind,
37:34along with two segments of blurry surveillance footage.
37:37The first clip,
37:39Lyra and Kaelin,
37:40wheeled side by side into the operating room,
37:42an organ transplant.
37:44The second clip,
37:45the dim interior of Silvermoon Prison,
37:47Lyra,
37:47being servidually torn into,
37:49beaten and tormented by a group of powerful she-wolves.
37:52How dare they do this to the blood daughter of the alpha?
37:57Alpha father gave orders.
37:59Kaelin sent supplies.
38:00How could this have happened?
38:07The mastermind behind it all,
38:10was Selene.
38:13She couldn't hold it in any longer,
38:15but her parents had already vanished from sight.
38:17Gripping the diary,
38:18she ran frantically through the hospital.
38:20She found Selene's room and shoved the door open.
38:22Alpha father,
38:23luna mother,
38:24please,
38:24read what your eldest daughter left behind first.
38:26She flipped to the final pages.
38:28Lyra has always understood the old wolf tongue.
38:30Every word we used to exclude her,
38:31she heard and understood every single one.
38:33The blood in both Alpha and Luna
38:35seemed to freeze solid.
38:38Alpha father snatched the diary.
38:40He read it word by word,
38:43his breathing growing heavier and more ragged.
38:46Chloe turned a cold stare on Selene.
38:49Selene,
38:50the person who gave Kaelin her kidney all those years ago?
38:52It was never you,
38:54was it?
38:54Selene went sorged.
38:56The guilt that flinked across her face
38:58made the last shred of hope in E.
38:59Chloe's heart collapse into rubble.
39:01Why did you cut off
39:02the survival supplies mother and father sent to Lyra?
39:06Why did you bribe the prison guards
39:08to torture her inside the prison?
39:10Selene released a weak pulse of pheromones,
39:13fending bewilderment.
39:15What are you talking about?
39:17The two Alpha and Luna,
39:18having finished the ginery,
39:19walked over.
39:20Chloe gave the order to her deputy.
39:22Bring them in.
39:27Five minutes later,
39:29the deputy entered with the prison guard,
39:31a financial official,
39:32and a heavyset,
39:34brutal-looking she-wolf convict.
39:44At the same moment,
39:46he stepped into the room,
39:48radiating a frigid,
39:49sharp,
39:50fear-forest scent.
39:51His face was a frozen mask of slaughter.
39:56His piercing gaze
39:57pinned her pale face in place.
40:00As Lyra's mate,
40:01I also have the absolute right
40:03to send out the truth behind all of this.
40:06Selene turned ghost white.
40:09Kaelin,
40:10what truth?
40:11I don't understand a single thing
40:13you're all saying.
40:14Selene,
40:15you're still trying to deceive us,
40:17even now?
40:18How many times over the years
40:20have you slandered Lyra?
40:21Chloe's voice rose sharply.
40:24Do I need to sniff out
40:25every filthy thing you've done?
40:26Right here in front of the Alpha?
40:29Selene collapsed to the floor,
40:30eyes red.
40:33Chloe,
40:34I'm your real sister.
40:35How can you speak to me like this?
40:37Chloe's laugh was ice.
40:39Then have you forgotten?
40:40Lyra is the eldest sister
40:41who shares the same blood as me!
40:44Selene began to hyperhentilate,
40:46putting on the full performance
40:47of a stress-induced episode.
40:49My Luna mother's blind,
40:51protective instinct surge again.
40:53Enough!
40:54Are you trying to drive
40:55your sister to her death?
41:02Mom,
41:03you're still defending her?
41:04Do you even know
41:05who your real pup is anymore?
41:10Lyra has only one kidney
41:12inside her body.
41:13She's the one
41:14who truly saved Kaelin's life.
41:17Lyra's near-death reports
41:19from Silvermoon Prison,
41:20all of it was caused
41:22by deliberate,
41:23malicious assault.
41:26She lived in this territory
41:28for 12 years.
41:30We never gave her a drop of love.
41:32Instead,
41:33we despised her
41:34and exiled her
41:35because of Selene's lies.
41:37Selene's depression
41:38is a complete fabrication.
41:42She laid down
41:44the most damning evidence,
41:45the scan showing
41:47Selene's two perfectly
41:48healthy kidneys
41:49and a psychological report
41:51confirming she was
41:52mentally stable
41:53with antisocial
41:54personality tendencies.
41:56The silent Kaelin
41:58finally moved.
42:00He unleashed a terrifying
42:02wave of alpha dominance.
42:07Chloe,
42:08give me Lyra's reports.
42:11Critical condition notices,
42:13x-rays,
42:15blood-stained medical photographs.
42:16He turned them over
42:18one by one.
42:19When he reached
42:20the full-body injury chart,
42:22her arms,
42:23her stomach,
42:23her back,
42:24her thighs,
42:25barely a patch
42:26of unbroken skin.
42:27Every inch covered
42:28in bite marks
42:28and silver-burned scars.
42:30The top three-earth
42:31held rationality set.
42:32He lunged at
42:33Atselena,
42:34towering over her.
42:42Tell me,
42:42what did you do
42:43to my mate?
42:45Selene,
42:45how dare you
42:46torture her like this?
42:48With no more room
42:49to hide,
42:50Selene laughed,
42:52twisted.
42:55She looked at
42:56my luna mother.
42:59Mommy,
43:00it hurts.
43:03Chloe threw herself
43:04in front of their mother.
43:06Stop your performance!
43:07For all these years,
43:08you used our sympathy!
43:10You used our mother's love
43:12and turned her into a blade,
43:13stabbing it over and over
43:15into her own
43:15biological daughter's heart!
43:17Selene,
43:17you're vicious
43:18beyond comprehension.
43:19Don't you understand?
43:21What you've done
43:22will leave this family
43:23drowning in irredeemable
43:25regret for the rest
43:26of our lives!
43:27Selene turned
43:28to Alpha Father.
43:30Daddy,
43:32you've always
43:33loved me the most.
43:34Alpha Father
43:35clutched the diary
43:36so hard it crumpled.
43:38In agony,
43:38he averted his eyes.
43:40In that moment,
43:41Selene lost
43:42every chip she had left.
43:43Her gaze went hollow.
43:45She breathed out
43:45the words,
43:46light as ash.
43:47I just wanted
43:48Lyra to die.
43:49That's all.
43:50nothing more.
43:52Selene!
43:53Kaelin's voice
43:55sounded like
43:55it was ripped
43:56from a torn throat.
43:58Confess
43:59every single
44:01one of your crimes.
44:02Every word.
44:04Now.
44:06Alpha Father
44:07spoke,
44:08his voice
44:09heavy with grief.
44:12Kaelin,
44:15I will give you
44:16an accounting.
44:17But before that,
44:19you should read
44:19what Lyra left for you.
44:21What she wrote
44:22at the end.
44:23Numbly,
44:24Kaelin took the diary.
44:25He turned
44:26to the last page,
44:27so,
44:28the day he kissed
44:29Selene in front
44:30of everyone,
44:31that was when
44:32Lyra had already
44:33given up completely.
44:35And he had
44:36arrogantly believed
44:37that after the
44:38false binding ceremony,
44:40he could still
44:41have her.
44:45Kaelin pressed
44:46the diary hard
44:46against his chest.
44:48Under the eyes
44:48of everyone present,
44:50the coldest,
44:51most ruthless
44:51top tier Alpha
44:53finally showed
44:54a face of utter
44:55devastation.
44:56A tear of remorse
44:57slipped silently
44:58from his eye.
44:59Selene was still crying.
45:02I didn't mean it.
45:04I was just scared
45:05of losing you.
45:06No.
45:07Kaelin said,
45:08his eyes held
45:09no mercy,
45:10only deathly stillness.
45:12You didn't mean it?
45:14Then who did?
45:16Lyra,
45:16who you framed
45:17and sent to prison.
45:19Or me,
45:21who you played
45:22like a puppet
45:23in your palm.
45:25Selene,
45:26you had everything.
45:28The Alpha
45:29and Luna
45:29doted on you.
45:30The entire pack
45:31treated you
45:32like a treasure.
45:33Lyra's return
45:34never once
45:35shook your position.
45:36Then what about you?
45:38Selene tore off
45:39her mask completely.
45:41Did her existence
45:42never shake
45:43my place
45:43in your heart?
45:44The question
45:45made Kaelin's breath
45:47stop cold.
45:51See?
45:53Your wolf
45:54already answered
45:55for you.
45:57Selene's lips
45:58curled in bitter mockery.
46:01after Lyra
46:01came back
46:02you changed.
46:03The way you
46:04looked at her
46:04it was pure
46:05possessiveness.
46:06How could I
46:07not be jealous?
46:09How could I
46:09not hate her
46:10to the marrow
46:11of my bones?
46:13So I had to
46:14make her disappear.
46:19I had to make
46:21her rot
46:22in that filthy prison
46:24until nothing
46:26was left!
46:28Kaelin stared at
46:29this stranger
46:30wearing an
46:31Omega's face.
46:32All that
46:33remained in his
46:34eyes was despair.
46:36Selene laughed
46:38and sobbed
46:38in the same breath.
46:40It's all that
46:41bitch
46:41Lyra's fault
46:42anyway!
46:43Why did she
46:44have to come
46:45back?
46:48Her very existence
46:50kept reminding me
46:52I'm nothing
46:53but a cheap
46:54counterfeit!
46:58A violent slap
46:59exploded through
47:00the room.
47:01Selene clutched
47:02her swollen
47:02cheek,
47:03staring in disbelief
47:04at the Alpha
47:05Father who had
47:06once treasured
47:07her above all
47:07else.
47:08Alpha Father's
47:10face was dark.
47:11A tidal wave
47:12of regret
47:12crashed over
47:13him.
47:13Alpha Father!
47:16Selene tried to
47:17stir whatever
47:18pity remained.
47:22You are no longer
47:23worthy of using
47:24that title
47:25to defile
47:26the honor
47:27of an Alpha.
47:28Alpha Father's
47:29eyes were rimmed
47:30red.
47:30What we owe
47:31Lyra, we will
47:32repay.
47:33What you owe
47:34her, you will
47:35repay in blood!
47:37Kaelin, I...
47:39Selene turned
47:40to him.
47:41Shut your mouth.
47:42You're not worthy
47:42of calling me that
47:43anymore.
47:45Is there truly
47:46no mercy left?
47:48You still think
47:50this is just a
47:50small matter?
47:51Kaelin's laugh
47:52was colder
47:53than death.
47:57Isn't it?
47:58Lyra only spent
47:59seven years in
48:00prison!
48:00She's not even
48:01dead!
48:02Selene shrieked.
48:09Her entire
48:10body is covered
48:11in scars from
48:13the wolves
48:13you paid to
48:14tear into her!
48:15Kaelin roared.
48:19So what?
48:21She deserved
48:22it!
48:23AHHHHH!
48:24AHHHHH!
48:26AHHHHH!
48:27AHHHHH!
48:27AHHHHH!
48:28AHHHHH!
48:28AHHHHH!
48:28The sound of
48:29breaking bone
48:29was stark and
48:30piercing in the
48:31room.
48:32Kaelin's wolf
48:33claws closed
48:34around at
48:34Selene's wrist.
48:36With horrifying
48:36force, he
48:37crushed the
48:38bones.
48:41AHHHHH!
48:43At the same
48:44moment,
48:45aboard a
48:45plane bound
48:46for Dominica.
48:47I stared
48:47blankly out
48:48the window
48:49into the
48:49pitch-black
48:50sky.
48:51Those gray
48:52Myothams
48:52had all
48:53become the
48:53dust behind
48:54me.
48:59This
49:00aircraft is
49:01scheduled to
49:01arrive in
49:02Dominica in
49:03five minutes.
49:05The announcement
49:06echoed through
49:06the cabin.
49:08I cast the
49:09past away
49:10completely.
49:11Looking at
49:12the brightening
49:13coastline,
49:13the corner of
49:14my mouth
49:15curved into
49:16a wild,
49:17free arc.
49:22Dominica.
49:23I had
49:23arrived.
49:24I was about
49:25to meet my
49:26new life.
49:27Six years
49:27passed in
49:28the blink in
49:28an eye.
49:29Kaelin and
49:30the crescent
49:30moon pack
49:31still hadn't
49:32found a single
49:33trace of me.
49:35When a soul
49:36resolves to
49:37vanish from
49:37the territory,
49:38even the
49:39moon goddess
49:39herself struggles
49:41to track it.
49:43Kaelin had
49:44wasted away,
49:45visibly.
49:47The
49:47communicator
49:48on his
49:48desk
49:49buzzed.
49:51He rubbed
49:52his exhausted
49:53brow and
49:54answered.
49:59Alpha,
50:00Selina's
50:01mental state
50:01has collapsed
50:02completely.
50:03every day
50:04she tears
50:04into herself
50:05like a
50:05rabid
50:05animal.
50:08Her wolf
50:08has gone
50:09feral.
50:09The doctors
50:10recommend
50:10transferring
50:11her to a
50:11psychiatric
50:12institution.
50:13This time,
50:14is it real
50:16or another
50:17performance?
50:19Kaelin's
50:20voice was
50:20frozen steel.
50:24It's real.
50:25Her wolf's
50:26spirit has
50:26atriferated
50:27from prolonged
50:27terror.
50:28Fine.
50:30I'll send
50:30the transport.
50:33Kaelin cut
50:34the call
50:34without mercy.
50:36Over these
50:36six years,
50:37he had
50:38arranged for
50:39Selina to
50:39receive special
50:40attention inside
50:41the prison.
50:42Every single
50:43agony I had
50:44endured in
50:44Silvermoon
50:45prison,
50:46she had
50:47tasted every
50:48one of them
50:48in full
50:49measure.
50:50The Crescent
50:51Moon Pack
50:52had maintained
50:52a deathly
50:53silence about
50:54it.
50:54Kaelin dropped
50:55his gaze to
50:56the photo
50:56on his
50:57desk,
50:57the photo
50:58of me
50:58just after
50:59my release.
51:00Gone,
51:01skeletal,
51:02expressionless.
51:03Which forest
51:04are you hiding
51:04in, Lyra?
51:06He traced
51:07the brow
51:07and eyes
51:07in the
51:08photograph.
51:09Infinite
51:09regret
51:09soaked
51:10his voice.
51:11I know
51:11that making
51:12everyone
51:12who hurt
51:12you taste
51:13the same
51:13pain
51:13is the
51:14only true
51:14apology.
51:16But if
51:16you never
51:16come back,
51:17how do I
51:18return the
51:19soul I owe
51:19you?
