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.
00:27Alara 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.
01:08My 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.
01:41Aurarius 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.
02:05Fonty gave it to me in my third year with the hunters.
02:09I wore it every day after that.
02:12Warm 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 the guys were out on the lawn with Alara.
02:42Valerius sat a little apart, sharpening a blade.
02:46I'll stop when they saw me.
02:49Alara ran over barefoot.
02:50Selene!
02:51Come look, come look!
02:53Valerius planted flowers everywhere.
02:55Aren't they pretty?
02:57She 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?
03:25Kaelin was across the lawn in the 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, but I was shaking too hard to say any of it.
04:07Apologize.
04:10He 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.
05:07Selene.
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.
05:44I was eight years old.
05:46The 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, every technique.
06:40Patient even when I was slow to learn.
06:43I 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.
07:18I'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.
07:35I couldn't leave her.
07:36She'll heal up soon.
07:37Then she'll move on.
07:39Don'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.
07:54The 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.
08:06And when I knocked the blade away in a mission, Alara still ended up with a wound she could show
08:12everyone.
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.
08:22Selene, you've really let me down.
08:24The two who had treated me like drifted away week by week.
08:28But the hunter's base was still my home.
08:31They were still my family.
08:33Misunderstandings 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.
08:52Just to put a smile on Alara's face.
08:55He didn't wonder how I'd made it out alive.
09:04I woke up still on the back hill.
09:06By then it was deep into the night and the flowers had all died, leaving 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, Caelan, Tobias.
09:22All three of them, keeping Alara company.
09:24I 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-
09:44I need it.
09:44The Moonheart Lily bloomed only in the moonlight.
09:48It could cure any poison.
09:51Just 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.
10:02Caelan.
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?
10:28My heart went cold enough to shake me.
10:31Lara didn't need the Lily because the darkness was taking hold.
10:35She had been after it for a long time.
10:37She just needed an excuse.
10:39And here was Caelan, 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,
10:50and you'd let her fall over one flower?
10:53How 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.
11:19Roots bare, white petals laced through with thin red threads.
11:26Already going limp.
11:27Ten years of my blood.
11:29A drop at a time.
11:32Give it back.
11:33At that moment, two more figures came through the grotto entrance.
11:38Valerius with Alara in his arms.
11:41Alara's face was tight with pain.
11:44She looked at the Lily and shook her head.
11:47Don't take it.
11:48That belongs to Selina.
11:50He wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
11:54His face was soft in a way I had never seen on him.
11:59Valerius gave it to her.
12:01Alara,
12:02one flower is nothing if it heals you.
12:06I was the one who found it.
12:08It was just sitting with Selina going to wait.
12:11I looked at the glass.
12:13Composed, 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.
12:32When Alara's better, I'll find you a finer one.
12:35Selin,
12:37that's enough.
12:38The last thing holding me together let go.
12:42My fingers went slack.
12:44My 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.
13:09Kaelin stopped in the doorway.
13:11He looked back at me,
13:12at my bleeding hand,
13:14and 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.
13:27There was no reason left to stay.
13:29I went back to my room
13:31and picked up a pen.
13:32I have been a poor student.
13:34Lazy and difficult,
13:36and never as grateful
13:38as I should have been.
13:40You took me in
13:41and 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.
14:01Once I was past the tree line,
14:03I 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
14:17with every stride.
14:19I kept going
14:20until I couldn't feel my paws,
14:23and then I kept going after that.
14:25I don't remember going down.
14:28Warmth reached me
14:29before I could see anything.
14:31I tried to push myself up.
14:33You're awake.
14:35Where did you save me?
14:37Prepare a warm bath,
14:39clean clothes,
14:40and 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?
14:51You must be from out of town.
14:54Our king is getting married.
14:57The dragon realm is finally getting a queen.
15:00I went still.
15:02I 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
15:13but 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.
15:34Scales 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.
16:00Rel,
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.
16:17Aurelius 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.
16:29I wore the veil
16:30and held Aurelius' hand,
16:32and we turned to face the crowd.
16:35Congratulations to the dragon king on his bride.
16:38He turned to the entrance,
16:41calm.
16:42The great Valerius,
16:44and these must be your students.
16:47Through 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,
16:59don't be rude.
17:00My student is young and careless.
17:03Forgive us.
17:04His voice 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 to come off.
17:38Children clapping.
17:40Women leaning forward.
17:42Men craning their necks.
17:44I took a breath.
17:45Aurelius 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,
18:20and he wasn't ready.
18:22I wore the veil
18:23and held Aurelius' hand,
18:25and we turned to face the crowd.
18:28Congratulations to the dragon king
18:30on his bride.
18:32He turned to the entrance,
18:34calm.
18:35The great Valerius,
18:37and these must be your students.
18:39Through the white veil,
18:41I saw Ellara skip to the front.
18:44So you're the dragon king.
18:46Your queen is so pretty.
18:50Ellara, don't be rude.
18:53My student is young and careless.
18:56Forgive us.
18:57Voice 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
19:08had 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, Selina.
19:20My heart,
19:21beating so hard it hurt,
19:24went quiet.
19:25The ceremony was done.
19:27The crowd called for the veil
19:29to come off.
19:31Children clapping.
19:32Women leaning forward.
19:35Men 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.
19:46Walk with 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
20:07in the realm.
20:09Selene.
20:09Are you really doing this?
20:11Kaelian.
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
20:19in 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.
20:30You 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?
20:38She glanced at Aurelius
20:40as she said it.
20:41Checking 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 leave 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.
20:59Are you really leaving?
21:00Valerius.
21:01Aurelius and I are married.
21:03Isn'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 or did you?
21:10Ten years of trust
21:11and it couldn't hold up
21:12against Alara's games.
21:14All those years.
21:14Did you ever once listen to my side?
21:17After I left.
21:18Did 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, blame me.
21:33Don't fight with Valerius.
21:36That dress.
21:37Aurelius had given it to me
21:38the night before the wedding.
21:39Selene.
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
21:58in tiny wounds from the needle.
22:00And now,
22:01Alara had torn it.
22:03I drew the nearest blade
22:05and pressed it against her throat.
22:08How dare you?
22:12He yanked Alara behind him.
22:15Enough!
22:17Because I was good to her,
22:19you 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
22:29and 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?
22:36I stared at the man
22:38standing before me
22:39and wondered how this
22:41could possibly be the 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.
23:19What 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
23:38for 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 inside Alara's body
24:01and smiling.
24:02Don't worry, father.
24:04They won't have it easy either.
24:06And I have Aurarius now.
24:09Aurelius came back at a run.
24:10He checked me over twice
24:12before he believed I was all right.
24:14Aurarius is a good man.
24:16Alara's condition turned faster
24:17than I had expected.
24:19The Moonheart Lily
24:20had been fed with my blood
24:21for ten years.
24:23Inside it was 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.
24:34Selene.
24:36What 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
24:46were both gone.
24:48There was nothing left
24:49but calm.
24:52There's alpha bloodline
24:53running through her.
24:55I 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 Aurarius at the wedding?
25:02Did he do something to her?
25:05Alara isn't worth Aurarius
25:06lifting a finger.
25:07You know it's alpha blood.
25:09Ask yourself when she could have taken it in.
25:11She ate something she had no right to eat.
25:13That's nobody's fault but hers.
25:16Valerius.
25:17I didn't.
25:18I know.
25:19I'll fix this.
25:23What a show, Valerius 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 puts you above everyone?
25:33I was your teacher.
25:34I still have the right to hold you to account.
25:36In the dragon realm?
25:37No, you don't.
25:40And if you care about her life,
25:42I'd watch you atone.
25:44Do you even know who I am, Valerius?
25:47Who you are?
25:47You were nothing before Valerius found you.
25:50From nobody to princess overnight?
25:51That's a joke.
25:57Who cares?
25:58Touch my daughter.
26:00My father's eyes were ice.
26:02Alpha King.
26:03Valerius.
26:04Your students have insulted my daughter twice now.
26:07Can't you keep them in line?
26:09Or do you think the werewolves have nobody left to answer for her?
26:14Selim is really your daughter?
26:16My own blood.
26:20Would I be wrong about that?
26:24I've heard what happened.
26:25That you picked another girl over her.
26:28More than once.
26:30That you left her in Cain's hands
26:32and nearly got her killed.
26:36We chose to save Alara first.
26:39That was my call.
26:41Your call.
26:42People have favorites.
26:44You picked your precious student.
26:45I won't argue that.
26:47But after?
26:48Did any of you check on my daughter?
26:50Even once?
26:52Cain put his hand through her chest.
26:54She nearly didn't come back.
27:00Selim.
27:01That's true.
27:03If my mother hadn't carved the moon mark into my blood,
27:06I would have died that night.
27:08None of you would have found a body.
27:10I never sensed your life fading.
27:12I thought you were fine.
27:15You want to know what you were doing while I was dying?
27:17You were planting Moonshadow for Alara.
27:20You knew what Moonshadow does to me.
27:22Alara got grazed by the darkness
27:24and all three of you fell over yourselves to take care of her.
27:26I had Kay's hand through my heart.
27:28And nobody came.
27:30But I have Alarius now.
27:32Someone who actually loves me.
27:34So why won't you leave me alone?
27:35Selim.
27:36But Alara is innocent.
27:37Saving her was our choice.
27:39Be angry at us.
27:41Innocent.
27:44But save her first.
27:47If she's so innocent,
27:49then 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,
28:01explain the honeycakes.
28:03I made them for her with my own hands.
28:06Somehow they were full of poison.
28:09If she's so innocent,
28:11explain why she went to the training hall alone in the middle of winter
28:15and drilled until dawn,
28:17then cried to you that I had forced her.
28:23I was tired.
28:25I was the Alpha King's daughter.
28:29You thought I would stoop to competing with her.
28:31I didn't even know what she was doing.
28:33Until it was too late.
28:41Valerius!
28:42Kaylin!
28:44I didn't...
28:45I would never...
28:46I watched the three of them.
28:47After everything.
28:49After all of this.
28:50Were they still going to close their eyes and believe her?
28:53Is what Selene says true?
28:55Alara had nothing left.
28:57Any denial would sound like exactly what it was.
28:59Even then I wouldn't use the Moonheart Lily.
29:01I had fed it my blood for ten years, Valerius.
29:04Ten years.
29:05Did you ever wonder how a flower that dies the moment it's picked
29:08stayed alive all that time?
29:11His eyes went to the memory.
29:13The Lily in Tobias' hands.
29:16The thin red threads running through the white petals.
29:19He opened his mouth and nothing came out.
29:22Everything he could say was too small.
29:24Don't bother.
29:26Save 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.
29:44Why?
29:45Why?
29:46We took you in.
29:47Valerius gave you a home.
29:49We treated you like family.
29:51Why would you do this to us?
29:53To Selene?
29:54Alara just shook her head.
29:56She couldn't speak.
29:57The Alpha blood inside her was raging now.
30:01Responding to my anger, burning through her.
30:04Valerius drew a slow breath.
30:06He drew his blade, walked to Alara, and cut a line across both her palms in one motion.
30:13Alara screamed.
30:14The 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.
30:27She'll never hold a weapon again.
30:28She'll never fight.
30:29She'll never grow stronger.
30:31After today, I'll leave her at Cain's gates.
30:34Whatever Selene suffered there, Alara will pay back a hundred times over.
30:39He was speaking to me.
30:41And to my father.
30:42I have done my worst in punishing her.
30:45That's Alara's punishment.
30:47What about yours?
30:49The effort of what he had just done had cost him more than he let on.
30:53What about the hunters who doubted me and threw me away?
30:56Valerius's face was gray.
30:58I failed you.
30:59Whatever comes next, I'll take it.
31:01Spare Calum and Tobias.
31:02Forget it.
31:03I looked at the two who had once been everything to me.
31:07You raised me.
31:08That much is real.
31:09Trained for me.
31:10Avenged me.
31:12The debt between us is paid.
31:15Go home.
31:16They left.
31:18Valerius carried Alara.
31:19He could barely walk straight.
31:21A vampire hunter who could barely stand.
31:24Carrying a girl who had lost everything.
31:26Walking back through territory crawling with the things he had spent his life killing.
31:30They never made it home.
31:34Cain's scouts found them on the road.
31:36Valeria at full strength was a match for any vampire alive.
31:41But he had nothing left.
31:42They took him and Alara both.
31:45I heard they spent their days in Cain's lair.
31:47Never able to die.
31:49Never able to escape.
31:51Caelan and Tobias stayed at the empty hunter's base.
31:54They never took another student.
31:56But none of that had anything to do with me anymore.
31:59Aurelius and I were happy.
32:01He loved me and I loved him.
32:03He never doubted me.
32:05Never questioned me.
32:06Never made me feel like I came second.
32:08Years passed.
32:10We had two children.
32:11Loud and wild and perfect.
32:13And the girl who had once laid in a field of bodies with her mother's blood on the moon shadow
32:18was finally home.
32:21That's a long stuff.
32:22We will fight.
32:22Out of the run.
32:23We will not like to help.
32:24We know how hard to takefilms that was left.
32:24Well.
32:24.
