Short filmTranscript
00:00I was the Alpha King's daughter, yet I chose to train under a human and became a vampire hunter.
00:08During a hunt, Alara and I were captured by Cain, the Vampire King.
00:14Only Caelan and Tobias came to save us.
00:18Out of respect for Valerius, you may take one girl, the other stays as my slave.
00:25Selene, I'm sorry. Alara won't survive here. You're stronger than she is.
00:31I watched them turn and walk away. I kept waiting for one of them to look back. No one did.
00:38Cain laughed, and his claws drove through my chest.
00:43As I was fading, a warmth surged through my body.
00:48The wound in my chest sealed itself shut, and everything went white.
00:55When I opened my eyes, I was lying in my old chambers in the palace.
01:01The wound on my chest was gone. Not even a scar.
01:05It was my mother's doing.
01:07My mother was the moon priestess of our pack.
01:11When I was close to death, the moon mark she left in my body transported me back to the palace.
01:19My father, the Alpha King, was sitting by the bed, eyes dark with worry.
01:25Selene, stay home. Don't leave me again.
01:30I kept my eyes down, so he wouldn't see them fill.
01:34I've been with the hunters for ten years.
01:37I should put an end to this.
01:41Orarius has waited ten years for you.
01:45He has refused every match until now.
01:48He'll be glad.
01:50The day I come back, I will marry him.
01:53After he left, I picked up my silver blade from the stand by the window.
01:58Nostalgic Valerius had fought through a vampire's lair for three days to take that blade.
02:05Fond he gave it to me in my third year with the hunters.
02:08I wore it every day after that.
02:11Warm Kaelin used to tease me about it.
02:16Selene treats that glad better than herself.
02:19It goes where I go.
02:21It breaks when I break.
02:28But I was done with the hunters now.
02:31I went back to the hunters' face and looked for them.
02:35I found them in the back garden.
02:37Kaelin and Tobias were out on the lawn with Alara.
02:42Valerius sat a little apart, sharpening a blade.
02:46All stopped when they saw me.
02:48Alara ran over barefoot.
02:50Selene!
02:51Come look, come look!
02:53Valerius planted flowers everywhere.
02:55Aren't they pretty?
02:56She grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the lawn.
03:00Moon shadow flowers.
03:02Hill to hill, field to field.
03:06They had forgotten.
03:07Moon shadow was the one thing I couldn't face.
03:11My whole body locked up as Alara pulled me forward.
03:14My hands started shaking.
03:17I pulled back on instinct and Alara went down.
03:21Selene!
03:22What is wrong with you?
03:24Kaelin was across the lawn in a heartbeat.
03:27He shoved me aside and swept Alara up off the ground.
03:31She was just trying to show you the flowers.
03:35What did she do to deserve that?
03:38Tobias dropped down beside Alara, checking her leg, not even looking at me.
03:44Don't.
03:45I wasn't watching where I was going.
03:47Alara put a hand on Kaelin's arm.
03:50You didn't mean it, did you Selene?
03:52She looked up at me.
03:55I kept that lawn myself.
03:57I cut it flat.
03:59I cut it flat.
03:59Alara had trained for years.
04:01She didn't just fall.
04:03But I was shaking too hard to say any of it.
04:07Apologize.
04:09He wasn't going to hear me out either.
04:13Are you angry we didn't pick you?
04:16The place was full of dark blood, Selene.
04:20Alara would have died.
04:22I wasn't exactly trained for it either.
04:24But you're fine, aren't you?
04:26Nothing happened.
04:27Don't make it into something.
04:29Nothing happened.
04:31If my mother hadn't carved that mark into my blood, Cain would have drained me dry.
04:38There wouldn't have been enough left to find.
04:40I looked at Valerius, the man I had once believed in completely.
04:45Why didn't you come for me?
04:48Alara was poisoned by the bite.
04:50I had to treat her first.
04:53So that was it.
04:55With all three of them, I always came after Alara.
04:58I swallowed the iron taste in my mouth.
05:01I grabbed my blade, ready to hand it over.
05:05Valerius.
05:07It's healing.
05:08It hurts.
05:10Don't be hard on Selene.
05:12She just got back.
05:15Is the poison flaring up again?
05:17Easy.
05:17I'll cleanse her blood again.
05:19Their voices dropped away.
05:21The chest wound that hadn't finished healing.
05:24And the moon shadow I couldn't stop seeing.
05:34I hit the ground.
05:37Everything went dark.
05:41I dreamed of the night my mother died.
05:43I was eight years old.
05:45The vampires came.
05:47We fought back, but there were too many of them.
05:50My mother went down in front of me.
05:52Her blood soaked into the moon shadow at her feet and turned it red.
05:57I laid down among the bodies and couldn't get up.
06:00Valerius found me there.
06:02He had come to reinforce the battle line and stayed to clear the dead.
06:06He pulled me out and took me back to the hunter's base.
06:09When I woke up, moon shadow made me freeze.
06:12My vision went red and my whole body shook.
06:15One look at those flowers and I was back in that field.
06:18Every time.
06:19Valerius took me on as his apprentice.
06:22She's new.
06:23Look after her like she's your own sister.
06:25I knew humans feared werewolves.
06:27So I hid what I was.
06:29I learned to fight the way they fought and train the way they trained and let them think I was
06:34one of them.
06:35They were nice to me.
06:37They taught me every move.
06:39Every technique.
06:40Patient even when I was slow to learn.
06:42I was hurt only once.
06:45A vampire bat caught my shoulder and opened it up.
06:48Caelan locked himself in the training ground after that and didn't come out for months.
06:54Tobias went into vampire territory alone to avenge me.
06:59Selene, I swear.
07:01I'll be better.
07:02Nothing will touch you again.
07:04Valerius never once blamed me for slacking off or missing training or complaining through every session.
07:11He just quietly tracked out rare medicines and kept building up my strength.
07:16I wrote to my father.
07:17I'm doing well here.
07:19They treat me like family.
07:21I turned down Alvarius' proposal.
07:24I wanted to stay with the hunters forever.
07:27With Valerius and Caelan and Tobias.
07:32We found her barely alive.
07:34I couldn't leave her.
07:36She'll heal up soon.
07:37Then she'll move on.
07:38Don't worry, Selene.
07:40You're the only one for us.
07:42But when Alara recovered, Valerius took her on as his fourth apprentice.
07:47I went from being the youngest to being a senior.
07:52I'll protect you.
07:53The way they always protected me.
07:56Don't be scared.
07:57I'll make you honey cakes.
07:59But somehow, the honey cakes I made for her turned out to have something in them that shouldn't have been
08:05there.
08:05And when I knocked the blade away in a mission.
08:09Alara still ended up with a wound she could show everyone.
08:14One winter night, Alara went to the training hall alone and drilled until dawn.
08:19I never thought you'd turn out this cruel.
08:22I never thought you'd turn out this cruel.
08:22Selene, you've really let me down.
08:24The two who had treated me like drifted away week by week.
08:28But the hunters' base was still my home.
08:30They were still my family.
08:32Misunderstandings clear up.
08:35I believed that.
08:37Then Cain took us.
08:39And they chose Alara.
08:43Valerius came back.
08:45And never once checked on me.
08:48He planted Moonshadow across the whole back hill.
08:51Just to put a smile on Alara's face.
08:55He didn't wonder.
08:57How I'd made it out.
08:59Alive.
09:04I woke up still on the back hill.
09:06By then it was deep into the night and the flowers had all died.
09:10Leaving nothing but ice and snow.
09:12I got up and walked back on stiff legs.
09:14The main hall was lit and warm.
09:17Figures moved through the windows.
09:19Valerius, Cailin, Tobias.
09:22All three of them.
09:23Keeping Alara company.
09:25I pushed open my own door.
09:27Dark.
09:29Cold.
09:30I had just laid down.
09:33When footsteps came hard down the hall and the door swung open.
09:40Selina.
09:41Wind the Moonheart Lily blew in with me.
09:44I need it.
09:44The Moonheart Lily bloomed only in the moonlight.
09:48It could cure any poison.
09:50Just in time.
09:52Happy birthday, Selim.
09:53This one's from me.
09:54May nothing ever harm you.
09:56May you always be well.
09:58That was all behind me now.
10:00My throat ached.
10:02Cailin.
10:03That's my birthday gift from Valerius.
10:06Alara isn't getting better.
10:07We've tried everything.
10:09If the darkness takes hold, it won't let go.
10:12The Moonheart Lily is the only thing left.
10:14This isn't the time to be difficult.
10:17She was still defending you today.
10:23You heard her yourself.
10:25Can you really just watch her fall?
10:27My heart went cold enough to shake me.
10:31Lara didn't need the Lily because the darkness was taking hold.
10:34She had been after it for a long time.
10:37She just needed an excuse.
10:39And here was Cailin, not seeing it.
10:41And if I say no...
10:43Selene!
10:45She's like a little sister to all of us.
10:48She was still standing up for you today, and you'd let her fall over one flower?
10:52How can you be this cold?
10:55Don't waste time talking.
10:57She'd keep it somewhere the moonlight reaches.
11:00The Northern Grotto.
11:05I went after them as fast as I could.
11:08I was too slow.
11:10By the time I reached the Northern Grotto,
11:13the Lily was already out of the ground.
11:16Tobias had it in his hands.
11:18Roots bare, white petals,
11:21laced through with thin red threads,
11:25already going limp.
11:27Ten years of my blood,
11:29a drop at a time.
11:32Give it back.
11:33At that moment,
11:34two more figures came through the grotto entrance.
11:37Valerius with Alara in his arms.
11:41Alara's face was tight with pain.
11:43She looked at the Lily and shook her head.
11:47Don't take it.
11:49That belongs to Selene.
11:50He wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
11:53His face was soft in a way I had never seen on him.
11:59Valerius gave it to her.
12:01Alara,
12:03one flower is nothing if it heals you.
12:05I was the one who found it.
12:08It was just sitting with Selene going to wake up.
12:11I looked at the last composed cold Valerius.
12:15I made one last try.
12:17Valerius,
12:18I fed that Lily ten years of my own blood.
12:23Are you really going to give it to her?
12:25He looked at me.
12:27Disappointment in it.
12:28Weariness.
12:29Something close to irritation.
12:31When Alara's better,
12:33I'll find you a finer one.
12:35Selene,
12:37that's enough.
12:38The last thing holding me together let go.
12:42My fingers went slack.
12:43My palm,
12:44where I'd broken the skin with my own nails,
12:48drifted onto the stone floor.
12:50Valerius took the Lily from Kaelin's hands,
12:53knelt beside Alara,
12:55and pressed it to her lips.
12:57In an instant,
12:58it was gone,
12:59dissolved into her.
13:01A faint glow spread through her body.
13:04I'll take her back to rest.
13:06The rest of you,
13:07get some sleep.
13:08Kaelin stopped in the doorway.
13:10He looked back at me,
13:12at my bleeding hand and my shaking legs.
13:15We spoiled you too much.
13:17That's the problem.
13:19Stop performing,
13:21competing with Alara like this.
13:23It's beneath you.
13:24Tobias left without a word.
13:26There was no reason left to stay.
13:29I went back to my room and picked up a pen.
13:32I have been a poor student.
13:34Lazy and difficult,
13:36and never as grateful as I should have been.
13:40You took me in and trained me,
13:42and I have only ever been a burden.
13:44I don't want to cause any more trouble.
13:47Today, I leave the hunters.
13:49I'm returning the blade.
13:51The wind cut through,
13:52and the snow blew sideways,
13:54and I didn't move.
13:56Then I turned and walked into the dark,
13:59and didn't look back.
14:00Once I was past the tree line,
14:02I shifted.
14:04Four legs were faster than two,
14:06and I had a long way to go.
14:08But the wound from Cain
14:10had never fully closed.
14:12In my wolf form,
14:13it tore open again,
14:15and blood ran down my front leg with every stride.
14:19I kept going until I couldn't feel my paws,
14:23and then I kept going after that.
14:25I don't remember going down.
14:27Warmth reached me before I could see anything.
14:30I tried to push myself up.
14:33You're awake.
14:35Where did you save me?
14:37Prepare a warm bath,
14:39clean clothes,
14:39and some easily digestible food for her.
14:43I don't know your name.
14:45Call me Rel.
14:46The street was filled with flowers.
14:50What's the occasion?
14:52You must be from out of town.
14:54Our king is getting married.
14:56The dragon realm is finally getting a queen.
15:00I went still.
15:01I had landed in the dragon realm.
15:04I walked through the streets slowly,
15:07children chasing each other,
15:09women shopping in no hurry,
15:11men who looked powerful but laughed easily,
15:15everyone open and unhurried,
15:18nothing like what I had expected.
15:20Past the city gates,
15:22I heard it before I saw it,
15:24a sound like thunder,
15:26rolling across a clear sky,
15:28and then a shadow swept over the ground.
15:31I looked up.
15:32A dragon.
15:33Scales black as night,
15:36wings wide enough to block out the sun.
15:39It circled once
15:41and came down in the field ahead of me,
15:44landing so lightly the grass barely moved.
15:49Then the shape folded in on itself,
15:52and a man stood where the dragon had been.
15:56Same sharp jaw,
15:58same golden eyes.
16:00Rell,
16:01you're the dragon king.
16:05Selina,
16:06will you be my queen?
16:09Yes.
16:10On the day of the wedding,
16:12Aurelius invited guests
16:14from every corner of the realm.
16:16Aurelius had no parents.
16:18The only family at the ceremony
16:20was my father,
16:22the alpha king of the werewolves.
16:25I knew he was happy,
16:27and he wasn't ready.
16:28I wore the veil
16:30and held Aurelius' hand,
16:32and we turned to face the crowd.
16:35Congratulations to the dragon king
16:37on his bride.
16:39He turned to the entrance,
16:41calm.
16:42The great Valerius,
16:44and these must be your students.
16:46Through the white veil,
16:48I saw Elara skip to the front.
16:51So you're the dragon king.
16:53Your queen is so pretty.
16:57Elara,
16:58don't be rude.
17:00My student is young and careless.
17:03Forgive us.
17:04Voice was sharp.
17:05His eyes were soft.
17:07He was protecting her
17:09the way he always did.
17:11Valerius seemed confused.
17:14He and my father
17:15had never been enemies.
17:17No matter.
17:19Please stay and watch the ceremony,
17:21and drink with us after.
17:23Of course.
17:25Don't be afraid, Selina.
17:27My heart,
17:28beating so hard it hurt,
17:31went quiet.
17:32The ceremony was done.
17:34The crowd called for the veil
17:36to come off.
17:38Children clapping.
17:39Women leaning forward.
17:42Men craning their necks.
17:44I took a breath.
17:46Aurelius lifted the edge of the veil
17:48and drew it back.
17:50Our queen is beautiful.
17:53Walk with the queen.
17:55Selene.
17:58Selene.
18:00Selene.
18:02On the day of the wedding,
18:05Aurelius invited guests
18:07from every corner of the realm.
18:09Aurelius had no parents.
18:11The only family at the ceremony
18:13was my father,
18:15the alpha king of the werewolves.
18:18I knew he was happy and he wasn't ready.
18:22I wore the veil and held Aurelius' hand,
18:25and we turned to face the crowd.
18:28Congratulations to the dragon king on his bride.
18:31He turned to the entrance, calm.
18:35The great Valerius,
18:36and these must be your students.
18:39Through the white veil,
18:41I saw Elara skip to the front.
18:44So you're the dragon king.
18:46Your queen is so pretty.
18:50Elara,
18:51don't be rude.
18:53My student is young and careless.
18:56Forgive us.
18:56His voice was sharp.
18:58His eyes were soft.
19:00He was protecting her,
19:02the way he always did.
19:04Valerius seemed confused.
19:06He and my father had never been enemies.
19:10No matter.
19:12Please stay and watch the ceremony,
19:14and drink with us after.
19:16Of course.
19:18Don't be afraid, Selene.
19:20My heart,
19:21beating so hard it hurt,
19:23went quiet.
19:25The ceremony was done.
19:27The crowd called for the veil to come off.
19:31Children clapping.
19:32Women leaning forward.
19:34Men craning their necks.
19:37I took a breath.
19:39Aurelius lifted the edge of the veil
19:41and drew it back.
19:43Our queen is beautiful.
19:46Long live the queen.
19:48Selene.
19:51Selene.
19:53Selene.
19:58No wonder you left us.
20:00You came here to be queen.
20:01She hadn't expected this,
20:02that the girl she had pushed out
20:04could end up here,
20:05married to the most powerful king in the realm.
20:08Selene,
20:09are you really doing this?
20:11Kalian,
20:11the ceremony is done.
20:13I'm his queen now.
20:14Selene.
20:14Don't.
20:16When did you become so cold to me?
20:18The girl you knew died that night in Cain's hands.
20:24You were with us for ten years.
20:26Valerius taught you everything,
20:27and you just walk away?
20:28I knew it.
20:29You still blame me.
20:31That's why you left.
20:32Even if,
20:33even if you found someone better,
20:36you were with us for ten years.
20:37How can you just throw that away?
20:38He glanced at Aurelius as she said it,
20:40checking his face,
20:42looking for anger.
20:43I knew what she was doing.
20:44She was trying to drive a wedge
20:46between me and Aurelius.
20:47Queen's friends have come a long way.
20:49Everyone drink.
20:50Nobody leaves sober.
20:52He pulled the crowd's attention away
20:54and left us space.
20:55The noise faded.
20:56The courtyard emptied around us.
20:58Selene,
20:58are you really leaving?
21:00Valerius.
21:01Aurelius and I are married.
21:02Isn't it a little late to ask?
21:04You've changed.
21:06When you were little,
21:07you told me you'd stay with us forever.
21:08Did I change,
21:09or did you?
21:10Ten years of trust,
21:11and it couldn't hold up
21:12against Alara's games.
21:13All those years,
21:14did you ever once listen to my side?
21:17After I left,
21:19did you look for me?
21:20Even once?
21:23I'm sorry, Selene.
21:25We thought you were just angry
21:27that you'd come back in a few days.
21:30If anyone's to blame,
21:31blame me.
21:33Don't fight with Valerius.
21:35That dress.
21:37Aurelius had given it to me
21:38the night before the wedding.
21:40I don't know how many times
21:41I started over,
21:43but you said yes,
21:44and I've never been happier.
21:46The Dragon King.
21:47The ruler of every creature
21:49in this land.
21:50A man whose hands
21:51could crush entire cities,
21:53sitting quietly beneath candlelight
21:54with a needle and thread.
21:56His fingers had been covered
21:57in tiny wounds from the needle.
21:59And now,
22:00Alara had torn it.
22:03I drew the nearest blade
22:05and pressed it against her throat.
22:08How dare you?
22:11He yanked Alara behind him.
22:15Enough!
22:17Because I was good to her,
22:18you threw a tantrum and left?
22:21She's your fellow student.
22:23Am I only allowed to care about you?
22:25No one else?
22:27You found yourself a king
22:28and now you think you're untouchable?
22:30Is this what I taught you?
22:31You were nobody when I found you.
22:33Without us behind you,
22:34how long do you think you'll last?
22:35I stared at the man standing before me
22:39and wondered how this could possibly be
22:41the same person.
22:45He was on his feet
22:47before anyone could speak.
22:49I shook my head,
22:50just barely,
22:51and sent my voice to him alone.
22:53This is mine to handle, father.
22:55He stopped.
22:57His jaw worked.
22:58He sat back down,
23:00every muscle rigid.
23:05Aurelius is a hundred times
23:06the man you are.
23:10At least he doesn't doubt me,
23:12or push me aside,
23:14or leave me to die.
23:18What I do from here
23:20is none of your business.
23:30Fine.
23:31From this day forward,
23:32we are nothing to each other.
23:35The great Valerius.
23:37He would never bend
23:37for someone like me.
23:41Fine.
23:49My girl.
23:50You've had enough.
23:53If you hadn't stopped me,
23:55I would have torn that place apart
23:56every last one of them.
23:58I thought of the Moonheart Lily
23:59already dissolving
24:00inside Alara's body
24:01and smiled.
24:02Don't worry, father.
24:03They won't have it easy either.
24:06And I have Aurarius now.
24:08Aurelius came back at a run.
24:10He checked me over twice
24:11before he believed I was alright.
24:13Aurarius is a good man.
24:16Alara's condition turned faster
24:17than I had expected.
24:18The Moonheart Lily
24:19had been fed with my blood
24:21for ten years.
24:22Inside it
24:23was the pure bloodline
24:25of the werewolf royal house.
24:27Alara was human.
24:28Her body had no way
24:29to hold that kind of power.
24:31It was tearing her apart
24:32from the inside.
24:33Selene.
24:35What did you do to her?
24:37You're the great vampire hunter,
24:39Valerius.
24:39You can see what's inside her.
24:41We stood face to face again.
24:43The love and the hatred
24:44I had carried for years
24:45were both gone.
24:47There was nothing left
24:49but calm.
24:52There's alpha bloodline
24:53running through her.
24:54I can't fix it.
24:56Selene.
24:57You've moved on.
24:58You have your king.
24:59Can't you let it go?
25:00Was it a Valerius
25:01at the wedding?
25:02Did he do something to her?
25:05Alara isn't worth
25:06a Valerius lifting a finger.
25:07You know it's alpha blood.
25:09Ask yourself
25:10when she could have
25:10taken it in.
25:11She ate something
25:12she had no right to eat.
25:13That's nobody's fault
25:14but hers.
25:16Valerius.
25:17I didn't.
25:17I know.
25:19I'll fix this.
25:23What a show.
25:24Valerius and his precious student.
25:26Very moving.
25:27If I didn't know better
25:28I'd say you two were in love.
25:30Enough!
25:31You think being queen
25:32puts you above everyone?
25:33I was your teacher.
25:34I still have the right
25:35to hold you to account.
25:36In the dragon realm?
25:37No.
25:38You don't.
25:40And if you care about her life
25:42I'd watch your tone.
25:44Do you even know
25:45who I am, Valerius?
25:46Who you are?
25:47You were nothing
25:48before Valerius found you.
25:50From nobody
25:50to princess overnight?
25:51That's a joke.
25:57Who dares touch my daughter?
25:59My father's eyes were ice.
26:02Alpha King, Valerius.
26:04Your students have insulted
26:05my daughter twice now.
26:07Can't you keep them in line?
26:09Or do you think
26:10the werewolves have nobody
26:11left to answer for her?
26:14Selim is really
26:15your daughter?
26:16My own blood.
26:19Would I be wrong
26:21about that?
26:24I've heard what happened.
26:25That you picked
26:26another girl over her.
26:28More than once.
26:30That you left her
26:31in Cain's hands
26:32and nearly got her killed.
26:36We chose to save
26:37Alara first.
26:39That was my call.
26:40Your call.
26:42People have favorites.
26:43You picked your precious
26:44student.
26:45I won't argue that.
26:47But after?
26:48Did any of you
26:49check on my daughter
26:50even once?
26:52Cain put his hand
26:53through her chest.
26:54She nearly didn't
26:55come back.
27:00you're done.
27:00Selim.
27:01It's true.
27:03If my mother
27:04hadn't carved the moon mark
27:05into my blood
27:06I would have died that night.
27:08None of you
27:08would have found a body.
27:10I never sensed
27:11your life fading.
27:12I thought you were fine.
27:14you want to know what you were doing while i was dying you were planting moon shadow for alara
27:20you knew what moon shadow does to me alara got grazed by the darkness and all three of you fell
27:24over yourselves to take care of her i had kay's hand through my heart and nobody came but i have
27:31alarius now someone who actually loves me so why won't you leave me alone selena but alara is
27:37innocent saving her was our choice be angry at us innocent but save her first
27:47if she's so innocent then explain why every time i knocked a blade away from her in training
27:52she still ended up with a wound to show everyone
27:59if she's so innocent explain the honey cakes i made them for her with my own hands
28:06somehow they were full of poison if she's so innocent explain why she went to the training
28:13hall alone in the middle of winter and drilled until dawn then cried to you that i had forced her
28:23i was tired i was the alpha king's daughter you thought i would stoop to competing with her i
28:31didn't even know what she was doing until it was too late
28:42valerius caelan i didn't i would never i watched the three of them after everything after all of
28:49this were they still going to close their eyes and believe her is what selene says true alara had
28:56nothing left any denial would sound like exactly what it was even then i wouldn't use the moon
29:00heart lily i had fed it my blood for ten years valerius ten years did you ever wonder how a
29:07flower
29:07that dies the moment it's picked stayed alive all that time his eyes went to the memory the lily
29:14in tobias's hands the thin red threads running through the white petals he opened his mouth and
29:20nothing came out everything he could say was too small don't bother save the apology
29:29spend the energy on figuring out what to do with alara
29:35harming the daughter of the alpha king was a crime in every corner of the realm
29:39whatever feeling valerius still had for alina it couldn't survive this
29:43why we took you in valerius gave you a home we treated you like family why would you do this
29:52to
29:52us to selene alara just shook her head she couldn't speak the alpha blood inside her was raging now
30:00responding to my anger burning through her valerius drew a slow breath he drew his blade walked to
30:08alara and cut a line across both her palms in one motion alara screamed the cuts wouldn't kill her
30:16but through the open wounds the alpha blood that had been building inside her began to drain out
30:22and with it every trace of strength she had ever gained she'll never hold a weapon again she'll never
30:28fight she'll never grow stronger after today i'll leave her at kane's gates whatever selene suffered
30:36there alara will pay back a hundred times over he was speaking to me and to my father i have
30:42done
30:42my worst in punishing her that's alara's punishment what about yours the effort of what he had just
30:50done had cost him more than he let on what about the hunters who doubted me and threw me away
30:56valerius's face was gray i failed you whatever comes next i'll take it spare calem and tobias
31:02forget it i looked at the two who had once been everything to me you raised me that much is
31:08real
31:09trained for me avenged me the debt between us is paid go home they left valerius carried alara
31:19he could barely walk straight a vampire hunter who could barely stand carrying a girl who had lost
31:25everything walking back through territory crawling with the things he had spent his life killing
31:30they never made it home kane's scouts found them on the road valeria at full strength was a match
31:38for any vampire alive but he had nothing left they took him and alara both i heard they spent their
31:45days in kane's lair never able to die never able to escape calen and tobias stayed at the empty
31:53hunter's base they never took another student but none of that had anything to do with me anymore
31:59aurelius and i were happy he loved me and i loved him he never doubted me never questioned me never
32:06made me feel like i came second years passed we had two children loud and wild and perfect and the
32:14girl who had once laid in a field of bodies with her mother's blood on the moon shadow was finally
32:20home
32:21he is oh my god
