00:00:00You belong to me.
00:00:01You're mine.
00:00:04You bastard.
00:00:11Julian Myers, the werewolf alpha of Thornpack.
00:00:17My mate and husband.
00:00:19The man I've loved for years.
00:00:22But no one knows that I exist.
00:00:25Because I'm just a lowborn human.
00:00:28Julian, I've sent you this month's allowance.
00:00:32Julian, stay for breakfast. I made your favorite.
00:00:35Yeah, pack business.
00:00:38Julian, something's wrong. My stomach.
00:00:41Please, take me to the hospital.
00:00:43The servants are off and no one else is here.
00:00:46Take an Uber. I'm already late.
00:01:00Congratulations. You're carrying a 100% pure alpha pup.
00:01:05No human has ever done that before.
00:01:07100% pure alpha?
00:01:09This is a miracle.
00:01:14Was that a howl?
00:01:17Can pups even do that?
00:01:18Most werewolf pups don't howl until they're 10.
00:01:21But your pup?
00:01:23His bloodline's stronger than any alphas.
00:01:26He may even awaken your inner wolf.
00:01:28No.
00:01:29I've been a human orphan for as long as I can remember.
00:01:33This baby is my only family.
00:01:35Okay.
00:01:54Father, I found Amber.
00:01:57Her wolf finally awakened.
00:01:59She's in Thornpac now.
00:02:05My princess, we're coming for you.
00:02:14I can't wait to tell Julia we're having a baby.
00:02:18This changes everything.
00:02:23Excuse me.
00:02:24I need to see Julian Myers.
00:02:26It's urgent.
00:02:27Alpha Julian isn't seeing visitors today.
00:02:31I'm not a visitor.
00:02:33I'm Amber Myers, his wife.
00:02:35A human claiming to be Alpha Julian's wife?
00:02:39What's next?
00:02:40You gonna tell me you're carrying his pup?
00:02:41Try a new fairy tale.
00:02:45Out of here, human trash.
00:02:47Alpha Julian isn't available to your kind without clearance.
00:03:02See that goddess?
00:03:03That's our future Luna, the Alpha daughter of Obsidian Pack.
00:03:06Not some lost human playing dress-up.
00:03:09Olivia Blackwood.
00:03:10Julian's first love.
00:03:12He didn't have time to take me to the hospital because he was with her.
00:03:24Alpha Julian!
00:03:26Confirm that you and Ms. Blackwood officially reunited?
00:03:29If your fated mate appeared tomorrow, would you reject her for Mrs. Blackwood?
00:03:33Even without his rejection.
00:03:35As a human, I'll never be worthy of standing beside Julian as an author.
00:03:41Hold the photos, please.
00:03:47Ms. Blackwell and I have spent countless hours forging something unprecedented.
00:03:51Countless hours for his ex, but not ten seconds for a text to his wife.
00:03:56Today, I'd like to announce a game-changing alliance with Thorn Pack and Obsidian Pack.
00:04:03I'd like to declare my nomination for werewolf presidency.
00:04:07This alliance code for marriage, have you marked each other?
00:04:10Your opponents claim you're unfit to lead without a mate or heir.
00:04:13Your response?
00:04:14Those concerns will be resolved very soon.
00:04:18Ms. Blackwell, are you carrying Alpha Julian's heir?
00:04:26My husband, too busy protecting another woman to notice me bleeding at his feet.
00:04:33The servant's entrance is around back.
00:04:35Let's go, human.
00:04:36Get your hands off me!
00:04:40The servant's entrance is around back.
00:04:42Let's go, human.
00:04:43Get your hands off me!
00:04:44Release her.
00:04:45Now.
00:04:47What the hell are you doing here?
00:04:49You know the protocol.
00:04:50No unauthorized access.
00:04:52Afraid I'll interrupt your important work or your not-so-secret affair?
00:04:56Which one is it?
00:04:58You must be Amber, Julian's fated mate.
00:05:01Thank you for taking care of him for the past three years.
00:05:10No mark.
00:05:11Good.
00:05:14Darling, I appreciate you keeping your promise by never marking anyone but me.
00:05:20It's not about that.
00:05:22Sweetie, you do understand that human marriages mean absolutely nothing in werewolf society,
00:05:27right?
00:05:28Nothing?
00:05:29Is that why I'm still unmarked?
00:05:30Because I'm just human?
00:05:32Go home.
00:05:33Have the maid clean up your wound.
00:05:35We really should go, darling.
00:05:41Please, Julian.
00:05:42Julian, don't walk away.
00:05:43You need to see this first.
00:05:51Whatever your little surprise is, it can wait.
00:05:54We can't be late for the baby's first checkup.
00:05:56She's having your pup?
00:05:58Then this gift is not for you.
00:06:00You don't deserve it.
00:06:07Baby, Julian, something's wrong.
00:06:10Why did you push her?
00:06:11She's pregnant.
00:06:12No, I didn't.
00:06:14I did.
00:06:21Give it back!
00:06:24If you want it that badly, fine.
00:06:33Stop the car.
00:06:35Julian, Amber just tripped.
00:06:37She's fine.
00:06:39But I'm pregnant.
00:06:40You know we can't be late for the hospital.
00:06:49Julian!
00:06:51Julian!
00:06:53Julian, please save our baby!
00:06:57Keep driving.
00:07:00Please!
00:07:02I'm sorry, baby.
00:07:04If your mommy weren't just some worthless human,
00:07:06your daddy wouldn't have abandoned you
00:07:08to care for his other pup.
00:07:14Sister!
00:07:15My princess!
00:07:25Thank you for coming with me to the checkup.
00:07:27You've always been so good to me.
00:07:31I promised Marcus before he died
00:07:33that I would look after you and the baby.
00:07:38That's what I'm doing.
00:07:39Nothing more.
00:08:02Hi, this is Amber.
00:08:04Please leave a message.
00:08:08Check every hospital ER in the pack.
00:08:10See if Amber's been admitted.
00:08:12Copy that.
00:08:13But since when do you get this worked up
00:08:14over Mrs. Myers?
00:08:23Alpha, I checked all hospitals.
00:08:25No matches for Amber's name or description.
00:08:29She's just a human orphan.
00:08:32Where could she possibly disappear to?
00:08:42My baby.
00:08:44Is my baby okay?
00:08:48It's all right.
00:08:49The baby's perfectly fine.
00:08:51Where am I?
00:08:53Who are you people?
00:08:55My darling,
00:08:57I'm your father,
00:08:58Magnus,
00:09:00the Lycan King.
00:09:03My father is the Lycan King.
00:09:05And that makes you
00:09:06our one and only Lycan Princess.
00:09:08I'm Logan,
00:09:09your big brother.
00:09:10Me?
00:09:11The Lycan Princess?
00:09:12This can't be real.
00:09:14It is real.
00:09:15You inherited our mother's
00:09:17legendary healing abilities.
00:09:18That's why your baby is safe.
00:09:27I fell and hit my head.
00:09:29It was bleeding.
00:09:31Now there's not even a scratch.
00:09:33I really do have healing powers.
00:09:37And I have a dad.
00:09:38A brother.
00:09:44But now I have to go back home.
00:09:47Back to that jerk?
00:09:48He left you bleeding in the rain?
00:09:50He nearly killed your baby.
00:09:51I'm not going back to him.
00:09:54I'm going back to divorce him.
00:10:09Last chance.
00:10:11Want me to come in
00:10:12and terrify him properly?
00:10:14I can handle one arrogant alpha.
00:10:19If you need backup
00:10:20or a body disposed of,
00:10:22just mindlink me.
00:10:31Alpha,
00:10:32Mrs. Myers has returned.
00:10:38Where the hell were you last night?
00:10:40Do you know how many nights
00:10:42I waited up for you?
00:10:45But it doesn't matter anymore.
00:10:47I'm here to end this.
00:10:49End what?
00:10:50What are you talking about?
00:10:52Us.
00:10:53This mistake of a marriage.
00:10:54I want a divorce.
00:10:57I've already signed the papers.
00:10:59Now it's your turn.
00:11:06What game are you playing now?
00:11:08You want more money?
00:11:10If you'd bothered reading the terms,
00:11:12you'd know I'm not asking for anything.
00:11:14If you have any questions,
00:11:15you can ask my lawyer.
00:11:17How the hell can you afford a lawyer?
00:11:21Unless you've already found a new sugar daddy?
00:11:23Is that really how you see me?
00:11:26Just some gold digger in it for the money?
00:11:37You came to me with this, remember?
00:11:40One million dollars per year
00:11:42to be my secret wife.
00:11:46I needed that money to save Jeremy,
00:11:48my friend from the orphanage.
00:11:50Being gay in werewolf society
00:11:52is worse than being human.
00:11:54I was all he had.
00:12:01Jeremy, I got the money from Julian.
00:12:03You have to hold on, okay?
00:12:05I'll always love you.
00:12:08Three years,
00:12:09I loved you completely, unconditionally.
00:12:11Not to mention we're mates,
00:12:12but this is what you think of me?
00:12:15Let's end this quickly.
00:12:18You think you can just walk away
00:12:19whenever it suits you?
00:12:24Clause 4.1
00:12:25Whenever I want you,
00:12:27physically,
00:12:29sexually,
00:12:30emotionally,
00:12:31you belong to me.
00:12:33You're mine.
00:12:36You bastard.
00:12:43Keep this.
00:12:44The lady at the store
00:12:45said they're magic.
00:12:46They always find their way
00:12:47back to each other.
00:12:48I'll see you again.
00:12:54Claire.
00:12:55It was you.
00:12:56The girl with the happy meal.
00:12:59The girl with the happy meal.
00:13:17The girl with the happy meal.
00:13:18Hey, redneck.
00:13:19Move this piece of shit.
00:13:20You're blocking the asphalt angels' private strip.
00:13:26Asphalt angels?
00:13:27Cute.
00:13:29But there's a lot of creeps out here tonight
00:13:31looking to clip those wings.
00:13:33Fly on home, girls.
00:13:37A hick preaching to us?
00:13:39You just bought yourself
00:13:40a one-way ticket to hell.
00:13:59What the hell?
00:14:00Who rolls deep like this?
00:14:02S-H-D-W-0-1?
00:14:04The hell kind of plate is that?
00:14:05Holy shit.
00:14:06That's federal.
00:14:07Thomas Caldwell?
00:14:08The secretary of defense?
00:14:10What the hell is he doing out here?
00:14:19Lexi.
00:14:20Did they send a black ops team?
00:14:22Just because we were speeding?
00:14:25Hey, grease monkey!
00:14:26You're blocking the secretary!
00:14:28Back the hell up
00:14:29before his men light you up!
00:14:34We are at your command,
00:14:36Overseer.
00:14:44The secretary of defense
00:14:46groveling like a servant?
00:14:48Just who the hell is this guy?
00:14:52Overseer.
00:14:53Flash traffic from Sentab.
00:14:55It's about Colonel Blake,
00:14:56your wife.
00:14:57Please come to the site.
00:14:59Let's go.
00:15:05Told you there were creeps
00:15:07out here tonight, sweetheart.
00:15:09Hold on to this tight.
00:15:10Next time,
00:15:11you may not be so lucky.
00:15:27The Overseeker.
00:15:28The puppet master of the fabled Deep State.
00:15:31He holds the leashes to the Pentagon,
00:15:34Langley,
00:15:34and Capitol Hill
00:15:35from the shadows.
00:15:36He can make or break the president
00:15:38with a single phone call.
00:15:39Almost no one has ever seen his face.
00:15:41Why the hell is he here in person tonight?
00:15:43General Vaughn,
00:15:44the Overseer is waiting for the sit rep
00:15:46on the Middle East.
00:15:47Do not test patience.
00:15:49Yes, yes, sir.
00:15:51The high-value GRU asset,
00:15:52Ivan Volklow,
00:15:53orchestrated a massive kinetic strike
00:15:55on the Saudi oil fields.
00:15:56But JSOC intercepted.
00:15:58The twin stars,
00:16:00Colonel Vanessa Blake
00:16:01and Colonel Claire Monroe,
00:16:03led a Tier 1 element
00:16:04straight into the meatbring.
00:16:06They wiped Volk of Cell off the map,
00:16:08a flawless tactical victory.
00:16:09We...
00:16:10We await the Overseer's orders
00:16:12on commendations.
00:16:13For three years,
00:16:14the Overseer has been feeding
00:16:16Colonel Blake prime-cut intel,
00:16:18clearing her path to glory.
00:16:19This time,
00:16:20he had my Black Ops team
00:16:21shadowing her unit,
00:16:22making sure she took the kill shot.
00:16:24I've never seen him go this deep
00:16:26for anyone in this country.
00:16:28America's tired, Thomas.
00:16:29The country's hungry
00:16:30for a new kind of hero,
00:16:31someone who can walk into that void
00:16:33and remind people
00:16:33what this flag is supposed to stand for.
00:16:35Vanessa is that woman.
00:16:37Draft the orders.
00:16:38Fast-track her to O-10.
00:16:39Four stars.
00:16:40Full general.
00:16:41And name her Commander of CENTCOM.
00:16:43Set up a promotion ceremony
00:16:45at the Hall of Heroes.
00:16:46I will pin those stars on her myself.
00:16:49The first female combat officer
00:16:51to hit four stars.
00:16:52And the Overseer is stepping out
00:16:54of the shadows to do it personally.
00:16:56This is going to send shockwaves
00:16:58through all of Washington.
00:17:04Daniel Croft, listen up.
00:17:06Colonel Blake ordered you home now.
00:17:08She's wheels up from Riata
00:17:09and she has major news.
00:17:10Don't make her wait, you hear me?
00:17:14Son of a bitch, this rain.
00:17:15Vanessa's gonna kill me
00:17:16if I'm late for her celebration.
00:17:17Daniel?
00:17:18Well, look at you!
00:17:23Claire?
00:17:24Let me guess.
00:17:26Playing the good husband
00:17:27for Vanessa's big night?
00:17:29Looks like it's not letting up.
00:17:30Where are you parked?
00:17:32Come on, get under.
00:17:33I'll walk you to your car.
00:17:38Both of us to squeeze under it?
00:17:41Oh, relax, Boy Scout.
00:17:42Vanessa and I are sisters in arms.
00:17:44Stop overthinking it.
00:17:46Unless you'd rather she tear your head off
00:17:47over a soggy cake.
00:17:58I am so sorry.
00:17:59I just slipped.
00:18:01Let's get you to your car.
00:18:02Now.
00:18:04Claire, thank you.
00:18:05Just drive safe, Daniel.
00:18:12Ness, you're finally back.
00:18:14I heard the news.
00:18:14Four stars, baby.
00:18:16I got your favorite cake to celebrate.
00:18:18Come here.
00:18:19Look at this cheap, sugar-floated garbage.
00:18:22You really think a four-star general
00:18:24eats this shit?
00:18:25Here.
00:18:26Divorce papers.
00:18:27General Blake already signed.
00:18:29Your turn.
00:18:31Baby, what do you mean?
00:18:33Daniel, wake up.
00:18:34Last night, the overseer
00:18:36personally made me a four-star general
00:18:37and handed me CENCOM.
00:18:39We're not in the same league anymore.
00:18:40Truth is, we never were.
00:18:43Sign the damn papers.
00:18:44I want a divorce.
00:18:48What?
00:18:49You just got the promotion.
00:18:51Everything's finally lining up for us.
00:18:54Why are you divorcing me now?
00:18:57How shameless can you be, Daniel?
00:19:00You've been leeching off the general
00:19:01for three years.
00:19:02And you're still trying to sink your hooks in?
00:19:04Are you even a man?
00:19:06Baby, please.
00:19:07Listen to me.
00:19:08There are things you don't...
00:19:10Save your breath.
00:19:11I've got my promotion ceremony tonight.
00:19:13I don't have time for your drama.
00:19:15Just sign the damn papers.
00:19:17Vanessa, please.
00:19:19You don't understand.
00:19:20I'm actually...
00:19:20I know exactly who you are.
00:19:22Three years ago,
00:19:23you saved my life in a firefight.
00:19:25But I married you
00:19:26and carried your pathetic ass
00:19:28for three years to pay that debt.
00:19:29We're square.
00:19:30Look at us, Daniel.
00:19:32I'm putting on four stars
00:19:34taking over CENTCOM.
00:19:36And you?
00:19:37You're just a freeloading,
00:19:39washed-up vet.
00:19:41A deadbeat like you
00:19:42doesn't deserve General Blake.
00:19:44Sign the damn papers.
00:19:47A freeloader?
00:19:48A deadbeat?
00:19:50You think I'm just some washout
00:19:52riding your cobbletails?
00:19:53If the shoe fits.
00:19:54You want the truth, Vanessa?
00:19:56Every single star on that collar,
00:19:58you only got them because of me!
00:20:00Daniel Cross, enough!
00:20:02You delusional piece of shit.
00:20:04That is exactly why
00:20:05I'm cutting you loose.
00:20:06I need a man with real power
00:20:07like the Overseer,
00:20:08not a pathetic charity case.
00:20:10Fine.
00:20:10You got it.
00:20:12But remember this, Vanessa.
00:20:13You're blind as hell.
00:20:15You're biting the hand
00:20:16that feeds you
00:20:16and one day it'll choke you.
00:20:18You dare insult
00:20:19a four-star General?
00:20:21Do you have a death wish?
00:20:24Vanessa Blake,
00:20:24you're really gonna let
00:20:26your attack dog
00:20:26kill me in our own home?
00:20:29You really begging
00:20:30for a bullet to the head?
00:20:31Drop it!
00:20:43Stepping way out of line,
00:20:44aren't you, Claire?
00:20:45He's your husband, Vanessa!
00:20:46For three years,
00:20:47he treated you like a queen
00:20:48and now you're tossing him
00:20:49out like trash?
00:20:50This is sick!
00:20:53Are you trying to lecture
00:20:54your commanding officer,
00:20:55Colonel Monroe?
00:20:56You think this is sick?
00:20:58Let me show you
00:20:59what sick really looks like.
00:21:01Attention to orders, Colonel!
00:21:03For gross insubordination
00:21:04against a four-star General,
00:21:06I am stripping your bird.
00:21:07As of this second,
00:21:08you are busted down
00:21:09to E1,
00:21:10a buck-ply it.
00:21:12Enjoy pulling gate guard
00:21:13in the rain.
00:21:14Vanessa!
00:21:15You've gone too far!
00:21:17Shut your mouth!
00:21:18You don't get a say
00:21:19in my orders!
00:21:20Vanessa!
00:21:21We bled together!
00:21:23We're sisters!
00:21:25How could you do this to me?
00:21:27We used to be
00:21:28J.S.O.P.'s twin stars.
00:21:30Lucky you.
00:21:32But now,
00:21:33I am the first female
00:21:34four-star General
00:21:35in American history.
00:21:36The Overseer is pinning
00:21:37those stars on me
00:21:38personally tonight.
00:21:39My name is going
00:21:40in the history books.
00:21:42And you dare cross me
00:21:44over this pathetic loser?
00:21:45You brought this on yourself.
00:21:47Read the room, Private.
00:21:48You really think
00:21:49the Overseer gave her
00:21:50four stars just for
00:21:51her tactical genius?
00:21:52He is captivated
00:21:53by the General's beauty.
00:21:55She is going to be
00:21:55his wife.
00:21:56She is untouchable.
00:21:58Oh,
00:21:59I get it now.
00:22:00Vanessa,
00:22:01you actually think
00:22:02the Overseer
00:22:02has the hots for you?
00:22:03That's why you're so
00:22:04desperate to rush
00:22:05this divorce?
00:22:07Look at that.
00:22:08Smart for once.
00:22:10The Overseer commands
00:22:11the world, Daniel.
00:22:13You can't even
00:22:14command a woman.
00:22:15He is the kind
00:22:16of man I deserve.
00:22:17And Claire?
00:22:19This cheap
00:22:20besties bracelet
00:22:21you gave me?
00:22:22It's just like you.
00:22:24Pathetic and worthless.
00:22:25Take it and
00:22:26get the hell out!
00:22:31This,
00:22:32this is Claire's?
00:22:33The little girl?
00:22:35All these years
00:22:36it was never Vanessa?
00:22:37It was Claire?
00:22:38Keep this.
00:22:39The lady at the store
00:22:40said they're magic.
00:22:41They always find
00:22:42their way back
00:22:42to each other.
00:22:43I'll see you again.
00:22:48Claire,
00:22:50it was you.
00:22:51The girl
00:22:52with the happy meal.
00:22:53I had the wrong
00:22:53person all along.
00:22:56And you were
00:22:57the boy who saved me?
00:22:59Oh my god,
00:23:00Daniel!
00:23:01That was you!
00:23:04It's me,
00:23:05Claire.
00:23:06God,
00:23:07I'm so sorry.
00:23:08I wasted
00:23:09all these years
00:23:10giving someone else
00:23:10what should have
00:23:11belonged to you.
00:23:13Failed to protect you.
00:23:15I handed Vanessa
00:23:16the world
00:23:17and she used it
00:23:18to crush you.
00:23:19But tonight,
00:23:20everything she's
00:23:21ever dreamed of
00:23:21will be yours.
00:23:23Unbelievable.
00:23:25The second
00:23:26this parasite
00:23:27realizes he can't
00:23:28live off the general
00:23:29anymore,
00:23:29he's already
00:23:30clawing at the next
00:23:31woman to leech off of.
00:23:32He really has
00:23:33zero shame.
00:23:34It's pathetic.
00:23:35But I guess
00:23:36trash always ends
00:23:37up with trash.
00:23:38Sign the papers,
00:23:40Daniel,
00:23:40so you two
00:23:41can crawl back
00:23:41to the dumpster
00:23:42together.
00:23:45You heard
00:23:45the general
00:23:46deadbeat.
00:23:46Sign and
00:23:47get the hell out.
00:23:49You want to
00:23:49clear the board
00:23:50so you can
00:23:50throw yourself
00:23:51at the overseer?
00:23:53Fine.
00:23:53You got it.
00:23:59But I swear
00:24:00to God,
00:24:01Vanessa,
00:24:01after tonight
00:24:02you're going to
00:24:02regret this
00:24:03for the rest
00:24:03of your life.
00:24:04Daniel,
00:24:04this tough guy
00:24:05act just proves
00:24:06I was right
00:24:06about you
00:24:07all along.
00:24:08You're pathetic,
00:24:10delusional,
00:24:11a complete loser.
00:24:12Laugh it up
00:24:13while you still
00:24:13can.
00:24:15Tonight,
00:24:15those four stars
00:24:17you're so desperate
00:24:17for,
00:24:18I'm taking them.
00:24:19And I'm putting
00:24:20them on Claire.
00:24:25A washed-up vet
00:24:26trying to take
00:24:27down a four-star
00:24:28general?
00:24:29Stop embarrassing
00:24:30yourself.
00:24:30The general
00:24:31got her promotion
00:24:32because Tristan Vaughn
00:24:33pulled strings
00:24:34at the Pentagon.
00:24:35He's the grandson
00:24:36of the U.S.
00:24:36Stratcom commander.
00:24:37You think you're
00:24:38more powerful
00:24:38than him?
00:24:40Bingo.
00:24:41I have Marcus
00:24:42Vonks on a leash.
00:24:43His spoiled
00:24:43grandson ain't worth
00:24:44shit.
00:24:49General,
00:24:49Mr. Tristan Vaughn
00:24:50has arrived.
00:24:53Vanessa,
00:24:54congrats.
00:24:55I just pulled
00:24:56a few strings
00:24:56at the Pentagon.
00:24:57The Overseer
00:24:58is personally
00:24:58attending your
00:24:59ceremony tonight.
00:25:00General,
00:25:00all this attention
00:25:01from the Overseer?
00:25:02The rumors
00:25:03must be true!
00:25:04I had my people
00:25:04fly in a few
00:25:05custom gowns
00:25:06from Milan.
00:25:07You're gonna need
00:25:08something breathtaking
00:25:08tonight.
00:25:09Appreciate it,
00:25:10Mr. Vaughn.
00:25:10I'll go see
00:25:11how they fit.
00:25:12Tonight is my night.
00:25:14And what's a celebration
00:25:15without a little
00:25:16entertainment?
00:25:18So,
00:25:18I'm pulling rank.
00:25:20You two
00:25:20are on
00:25:21door duty.
00:25:23My watchdogs.
00:25:24Vanessa,
00:25:25this is out of line.
00:25:26Excuse me?
00:25:27Are you disobeying
00:25:28a direct order,
00:25:29Private?
00:25:30Yes, ma'am.
00:25:31Oh, we'll be there,
00:25:33Vanessa.
00:25:34Just don't come crying
00:25:35when the truth
00:25:35blows up in your face.
00:25:37We'll see who's
00:25:38crying tonight,
00:25:39Daniel.
00:25:40I can't wait.
00:25:46God,
00:25:47your wife has
00:25:47one hell of an ass.
00:25:49Oh, my bad.
00:25:50Ex-wife.
00:25:51Don't worry, pal.
00:25:52I'll take real good
00:25:53care of her for you.
00:25:54You got a death wish,
00:25:55frat boy?
00:25:59Ask yourself that,
00:26:00buddy.
00:26:01If I wasn't saving
00:26:02the fireworks
00:26:02for the ceremony
00:26:03tonight,
00:26:04you'd already
00:26:05be in a body bag
00:26:06loser.
00:26:16Overseer.
00:26:17Marcus Vaughn
00:26:18just put $10 billion
00:26:19on the table.
00:26:20All he asks is that
00:26:21his grandson,
00:26:22Tristan,
00:26:22becomes your right-hand man.
00:26:24$10 billion?
00:26:25Looks like the old bastard
00:26:26has been skimming heavily
00:26:27from the military-industrial complex
00:26:28all these years.
00:26:29Let's see if you are smiling
00:26:31when you realize
00:26:31the overseer
00:26:32your entire family
00:26:34is kissing ass
00:26:34to please
00:26:35is me.
00:26:36Tell Marcus I accept.
00:26:38Give the kid
00:26:38his audition tonight.
00:26:40Understood, sir.
00:26:41I'll make the call
00:26:42right now.
00:26:45Don't worry, Claire.
00:26:47Tonight,
00:26:48everything Vanessa has
00:26:49will be yours.
00:26:50And that brat's
00:26:51walking right into
00:26:51a trap he bought.
00:26:54Tristan,
00:26:55it's done.
00:26:56You are officially
00:26:57the overseer's
00:26:58right-hand man.
00:26:59Hell yes!
00:27:00Half the U.S. military
00:27:01is in our pocket now!
00:27:02And the best part?
00:27:04Vanessa has to
00:27:05please me first
00:27:06now to get
00:27:06to the overseer.
00:27:09She's trapped.
00:27:10She's mine.
00:27:22She's mine.
00:27:23Wait,
00:27:23isn't that
00:27:24General Blake's
00:27:25civilian husband?
00:27:25Why is he acting
00:27:26like Claire Monroe's
00:27:27side peek?
00:27:28You haven't heard?
00:27:29Claire was screwing
00:27:30him on the side,
00:27:31so General Blake
00:27:31dumped the deadbeat
00:27:32today and bust
00:27:33that bitch
00:27:33all the way
00:27:34down to Gateguard.
00:27:36Trash always
00:27:36ends up with trash.
00:27:38What a shame.
00:27:39Claire's grandfather
00:27:40was a decorated
00:27:41four-star general,
00:27:42and she just
00:27:43dragged his legacy
00:27:44through the mud.
00:27:45Shut your mouths.
00:27:46Two desk jeppies
00:27:47aren't fit to
00:27:48speak her name.
00:27:51Daniel,
00:27:51cool it!
00:27:52Those two have
00:27:53stars on their
00:27:53collars.
00:27:54They are my
00:27:55commanding officers.
00:27:56You have no idea
00:27:57how powerful they are
00:27:58in the Pentagon.
00:28:00Powerful.
00:28:01Compared to who?
00:28:02Thomas Caldwell?
00:28:03Thomas Caldwell?
00:28:05He's the
00:28:05Secretary of Defense?
00:28:07The Overseer's
00:28:07closest confidant?
00:28:09He could end
00:28:09those generals
00:28:10with one phone call.
00:28:11Stay put.
00:28:12I have to go
00:28:13pay my respects
00:28:13before they write
00:28:14me up for
00:28:14insubordination.
00:28:18Generals.
00:28:19Private Monroe.
00:28:22Did your side piece
00:28:23fuck the sense
00:28:24out of you, Monroe?
00:28:25You're a WAP lock
00:28:26now?
00:28:26You don't have
00:28:26the rank to rub
00:28:27elbows with the
00:28:28brass.
00:28:28Get lost, Private.
00:28:29We're here for
00:28:30General Blake and
00:28:31the Overseer.
00:28:32We don't have
00:28:32time for trash.
00:28:33Yes, sir.
00:28:37Are you insane,
00:28:38Claire?
00:28:39Ever since your
00:28:39grandfather died,
00:28:40the Monroe family
00:28:41has been bleeding
00:28:42influence in D.C.
00:28:43We staked everything
00:28:44on your promotion.
00:28:46And you pissed
00:28:47out General Blake
00:28:48and got stripped
00:28:49of your rank?
00:28:50For him,
00:28:51a civilian deadbeat?
00:28:52How is this family
00:28:53supposed to survive?
00:28:54Mom, I...
00:28:55Shoot that parasite
00:28:56yourself.
00:28:56and hand-deliver
00:28:57his head to
00:28:58General Blake.
00:28:59Beg for her
00:29:00forgiveness.
00:29:01Mrs. Monroe,
00:29:02Claire doesn't
00:29:03need to beg anyone.
00:29:04I say the word
00:29:05and she doesn't
00:29:06just get her rank
00:29:06back.
00:29:07She gets promoted.
00:29:08Oh, is that right,
00:29:10loser?
00:29:10If you're so damn
00:29:11powerful,
00:29:12why don't you make
00:29:13Claire a four-star
00:29:14general and put
00:29:15Vanessa on gate
00:29:16duty?
00:29:19Funny you mention
00:29:20that, Mrs. Monroe.
00:29:21That is exactly
00:29:22the play.
00:29:22Oh, God.
00:29:23You might have
00:29:24brainwashed my daughter,
00:29:25but you are not
00:29:26conning me,
00:29:27deadbeat.
00:29:28Wow.
00:29:28Is the parasite
00:29:29spinning fairy tales
00:29:30now because General
00:29:31Blake kicked him
00:29:31to the curb?
00:29:32Pathetic.
00:29:32Word around the
00:29:33Pentagon is the
00:29:34overseer is courting
00:29:35General Blake.
00:29:36She'll have more
00:29:37juice than the
00:29:37first lady.
00:29:38This guy's just
00:29:39losing his mind
00:29:39with jealousy.
00:29:40General Blake and
00:29:41Monroe used to be
00:29:42the twin stars of
00:29:43JSOC.
00:29:44Now Blake has the
00:29:45world at her feet
00:29:45and Monroe is
00:29:46rotting in the
00:29:47dumpster with her
00:29:48trash.
00:29:48Tragic, really.
00:29:50Please welcome
00:29:51Mrs. Beatrice
00:29:53Blake and
00:29:54Mr. Julian
00:29:55Blake.
00:29:58Mrs. Blake,
00:30:00incredible night.
00:30:02Word is your
00:30:03daughter's about to
00:30:03be the overseer's
00:30:04wife.
00:30:04A match made in
00:30:06heaven.
00:30:06We were actually
00:30:07hoping the general
00:30:08might make an
00:30:09introduction for us
00:30:10tonight.
00:30:10Just a brief
00:30:11handshake with the
00:30:11overseer.
00:30:12I'm sure Vanessa
00:30:13can pencil you in,
00:30:14generals.
00:30:15Just make sure you
00:30:16play ball with her
00:30:17at CENTCOMC.
00:30:18Of course, ma'am.
00:30:18We serve at her
00:30:19pleasure.
00:30:20Get on your knees,
00:30:21both of you!
00:30:22Beg the Blakes for
00:30:23mercy before they
00:30:24destroy this family!
00:30:26Well, well, well.
00:30:28If it isn't my
00:30:28ex-brother-in-law,
00:30:29how the hell did a
00:30:30freeloader like you
00:30:31sneak into a
00:30:32Pentagon ceremony?
00:30:33Kneel to them?
00:30:34Trust me.
00:30:35Before the night's
00:30:35over, they'll be
00:30:36the ones on their
00:30:37knees begging me.
00:30:41You insolid
00:30:42bloodsucker!
00:30:43You bled the
00:30:44Blake family dry
00:30:45for three years,
00:30:46and you have the
00:30:47nerve to disrespect
00:30:48us?
00:30:49MPs!
00:30:49Get in here!
00:30:51Mrs. Blake, please!
00:30:52He isn't thinking
00:30:53straight.
00:30:53I apologize on his
00:30:54behalf.
00:30:55Just let it go,
00:30:55please!
00:30:56Did you forget my
00:30:57daughter busted you
00:30:58down to a buck
00:30:59private, Claire?
00:31:00Your apologies
00:31:00don't mean jack shit!
00:31:02Get out of my way!
00:31:03Damn, Monroe!
00:31:04They weren't
00:31:05kidding.
00:31:06You're just like
00:31:06my sister,
00:31:07an absolute
00:31:08smoke show.
00:31:09Tell you what,
00:31:11you give me one
00:31:12night,
00:31:12and I'll let this
00:31:13piece of shit walk.
00:31:15I'll even ask
00:31:16Vanessa to give
00:31:17you your rank
00:31:17back.
00:31:19Hell of a deal,
00:31:20right?
00:31:21Don't waste your
00:31:21breath, Julian.
00:31:22She's a private.
00:31:23Just give her a
00:31:24direct order to
00:31:25spread her legs.
00:31:26Good point.
00:31:27Add attention,
00:31:28private.
00:31:28You belong to me
00:31:29tonight.
00:31:29Come with me
00:31:30right now,
00:31:30I'll show you
00:31:31some real action.
00:31:32Touch her again,
00:31:32Julian, and you
00:31:33lose the hand.
00:31:34Really, Cross?
00:31:35And how are you
00:31:35going to do that
00:31:36now that my
00:31:36sister kicked you
00:31:37out?
00:31:37By barking?
00:31:39Listen up.
00:31:39You are going to
00:31:40hand-deliver your
00:31:41girl to my
00:31:42penthouse in 30
00:31:43minutes, and I'll
00:31:44give you a reward
00:31:45for that.
00:31:46I'll let you get
00:31:47on your knees and
00:31:48watch me wreck her.
00:31:51Kid's got a hell
00:31:51of an appetite.
00:31:52Let's be real.
00:31:53Spreading her legs
00:31:54for Mr. Blake is
00:31:55an 010 promotion
00:31:56from dating a loser.
00:31:57You're just a dead
00:31:57man walking, Danny.
00:31:59You're begging to
00:32:00die, Julian.
00:32:01Ah, let go,
00:32:03you psycho!
00:32:05Drop my son!
00:32:06Are you out of
00:32:07your mind?
00:32:07Let him go!
00:32:09Ladies and
00:32:10gentlemen, please
00:32:11welcome four-star
00:32:12general and CENTCOM
00:32:14commander, Vanessa
00:32:15Blake.
00:32:18Daniel, what the
00:32:19hell do you think
00:32:20you're doing?
00:32:23Vanessa, this piece
00:32:24of trash just
00:32:25attacked me!
00:32:26He tried to kill
00:32:27me!
00:32:27He's lost his
00:32:28mind, Vanessa.
00:32:29You kicked him to
00:32:30the curb, so he
00:32:31crashed your ceremony
00:32:32to get back at you.
00:32:34Bullshit.
00:32:34Your brother was
00:32:35trying to rape
00:32:36Claire.
00:32:36I just gave him
00:32:37what he had
00:32:37coming.
00:32:38Enough!
00:32:39Julian is a
00:32:40gentleman.
00:32:41He would never
00:32:41pull something
00:32:42like that at a
00:32:43federal ceremony.
00:32:44Stop lying
00:32:45through your teeth,
00:32:46Daniel.
00:32:46Perfect.
00:32:47Typical Vanessa.
00:32:48You'll take the
00:32:48word of your
00:32:49mother, your
00:32:49slezbag brother,
00:32:50hell, even your
00:32:51damn driver over
00:32:52mine.
00:32:52You never believed
00:32:53me.
00:32:53Not once.
00:32:54You're damn
00:32:55right, Daniel.
00:32:56Because even my
00:32:57driver is more
00:32:57useful than you
00:32:58ever were.
00:32:59The overseer is
00:33:00arriving.
00:33:01You and Claire do
00:33:02not have the
00:33:02clearance to breathe
00:33:03in this room.
00:33:04Get the hell to
00:33:05your post.
00:33:06I don't have the
00:33:07clearance.
00:33:08We'll see about
00:33:09that.
00:33:09Are you deaf,
00:33:10deadbeat?
00:33:11Get your ass to the
00:33:12front door and pull
00:33:13guard, dude.
00:33:15Vanessa, do you
00:33:16really have to
00:33:16humiliate us like
00:33:17this?
00:33:18You're taking this
00:33:18way too far.
00:33:19Taking it too far?
00:33:20Let me remind you
00:33:21of your place,
00:33:22Private Monroe.
00:33:23Don't worry.
00:33:24When the ceremony's
00:33:25over, I'll save some
00:33:26scraps for you two
00:33:27watchdogs.
00:33:28Mr. Vaughn is the
00:33:29overseer's right-hand
00:33:30man now.
00:33:31You should be on your
00:33:32knees thanking him for
00:33:33the charity, you
00:33:34ungrateful trash.
00:33:36Right.
00:33:37I almost forgot the
00:33:38best part of the
00:33:39show.
00:33:42Thomas, call Marcus
00:33:43Vaughn.
00:33:44Tell the commander of
00:33:45US Stratcom he has
00:33:46ten minutes to get
00:33:47his ass down here.
00:33:48It's time for his
00:33:49grand entrance.
00:33:52Mr. Secretary, sir,
00:33:53what can I do for-
00:33:54Shut your mouth,
00:33:55Marcus.
00:33:55You have ten minutes
00:33:56to get your ass to
00:33:57the ceremony, or I
00:33:58will personally bury
00:33:59you and your
00:34:00grandson tonight.
00:34:01What the hell?
00:34:02Get the car!
00:34:03Now!
00:34:04Tear up the streets
00:34:05if you have to!
00:34:05Just get me to that
00:34:06ceremony!
00:34:07A second-rate
00:34:08commander and a
00:34:08spoiled frat boy
00:34:09dare to cross the
00:34:10overseer?
00:34:11They just sign their
00:34:12own death wands.
00:34:14Put your foot
00:34:15through the floorboard.
00:34:16Ten minutes to the
00:34:17ceremony.
00:34:18Are you done with
00:34:19your delusions?
00:34:20You think faking a
00:34:21phone call to the
00:34:22Secretary of Defense
00:34:23is going to make
00:34:23anyone respect you?
00:34:25It's low, Daniel.
00:34:26Even for you.
00:34:28Don't let him get
00:34:29to you, Vanessa.
00:34:29I'm the overseer's
00:34:30right-hand man.
00:34:31He's just playing the
00:34:31clown to entertain
00:34:32me.
00:34:33Right-hand?
00:34:34Frat boy, you
00:34:35better drop to your
00:34:36knees and apologize
00:34:37right now.
00:34:38Do it to save your
00:34:39grandfather and to
00:34:41keep your actual
00:34:42right-hand.
00:34:43Wait, wait.
00:34:43Did I hear that
00:34:44right?
00:34:45A broke freeloader is
00:34:46threatening me and my
00:34:47grandfather?
00:34:48Yeah.
00:34:49You heard me.
00:34:51My grandfather
00:34:52commands US
00:34:53Stratcom, and I'm the
00:34:55overseer's right-hand
00:34:56man.
00:34:57Please, enlighten me,
00:34:58deadbeat.
00:34:59How the hell are you
00:35:00going to wipe us
00:35:00out?
00:35:01Because I'm the man
00:35:02you've all been
00:35:02praying to.
00:35:07I am the overseer!
00:35:13Ungrateful little-
00:35:17That's enough!
00:35:18I'm done with your
00:35:19tantrums!
00:35:20Get the fuck out of
00:35:21my life!
00:35:22God, look at her.
00:35:24So desperate.
00:35:25Welcome aboard flight
00:35:28233 to New York City.
00:35:30Wi-Fi is now available.
00:35:33We wish you a pleasant
00:35:34journey.
00:35:38Lady Thunder, your
00:35:40fiancé graduates from
00:35:41Stanford today.
00:35:42As requested, we've
00:35:43secured him a partner
00:35:44track offer at
00:35:44Whitmore.
00:35:45His celebration
00:35:46dinner's all set.
00:35:46It starts once you
00:35:47land.
00:35:48Noted.
00:35:49Good work, Adam.
00:35:50Also, Sebastian
00:35:51Whitmore from the
00:35:52Whitmore Group has been
00:35:52quietly coding us for
00:35:53investment.
00:35:54Send me the deck.
00:36:07Parker, just tell my
00:36:08grandma I'm not
00:36:09marrying the Caldwell
00:36:09girl.
00:36:10Boss, the Caldwells are
00:36:11our shot at the
00:36:12Thunder Circle.
00:36:13It's a trillion-dollar
00:36:14powerhouse.
00:36:14Your grandma sees this
00:36:15marriage as the
00:36:16golden ticket.
00:36:16We can't afford to
00:36:17say no.
00:36:18So now I'm just being
00:36:18auctioned off into a
00:36:19loveless marriage?
00:36:20That's not fair to me
00:36:22or to her.
00:36:22The Caldwell family
00:36:23already surpassed us in
00:36:24market share.
00:36:25Unless you marry
00:36:26someone else.
00:36:27Marry someone else.
00:36:33Uh, that button
00:36:34calls the crew?
00:36:35Oh, thanks.
00:36:37First time flying
00:36:38commercial?
00:36:38Yeah.
00:36:39I'm used to something
00:36:40a bit different.
00:36:41My private plane
00:36:42doesn't have buttons.
00:36:44I talk, and they
00:36:45show up.
00:36:47Lady Thunder, the
00:36:48chefs prepared your
00:36:49favorites.
00:36:49seared scallops, and
00:36:50the blueberry turt
00:36:51from Zurich.
00:36:58What did you do in
00:36:59Africa?
00:37:00Just some volunteer
00:37:00stuff.
00:37:01Built shelters, took
00:37:02care of kids.
00:37:03Oh, wow.
00:37:04That's pretty cool.
00:37:05She probably didn't make a
00:37:06cent doing that, but the
00:37:07way she talks about it
00:37:08like it mattered, she
00:37:09must be one of those
00:37:10rare genius people.
00:37:11Maybe-
00:37:13I'm Sebastian, by the
00:37:15way.
00:37:16Eleanor.
00:37:18Well, Eleanor, this
00:37:21might sound totally
00:37:21insane, but would you
00:37:23mind doing me a favor?
00:37:25What favor?
00:37:26Let me introduce myself
00:37:27properly.
00:37:28I'm the CEO of
00:37:29Whitmore Group, a hair
00:37:30to Whitmore's fortune.
00:37:31I own five properties
00:37:32and two private estates.
00:37:34Annual income, one
00:37:35billion dollars.
00:37:36And I want you to be
00:37:37my wife.
00:37:41I'm sorry, what-
00:37:42I mean, a fake
00:37:43marriage, just for a
00:37:44year.
00:37:45I need someone good to
00:37:46play my wife.
00:37:47And you seem kind.
00:37:50I see.
00:37:51You're clinically insane.
00:37:53I'm serious, Eleanor.
00:37:55You can trust me.
00:37:56I have no scandals,
00:37:57no addictions,
00:37:58nothing shady in my
00:37:59past.
00:37:59If you agree, we can
00:38:00sign the paperwork
00:38:00today.
00:38:01And I'll offer
00:38:02a hundred thousand a
00:38:03month, plus a
00:38:04waterfront of Condon
00:38:04Midtown, in your name
00:38:06only.
00:38:06You really picked
00:38:07the wrong girl.
00:38:08Already taken.
00:38:09I'm flying back to
00:38:10get married.
00:38:12Oh.
00:38:14I didn't see that
00:38:16coming.
00:38:16I...
00:38:17Sorry.
00:38:20So that's it.
00:38:21Guess I just have to
00:38:22suck it up.
00:38:25You don't seem that
00:38:26helpless to me.
00:38:27Your AI subsidiary under
00:38:28Whitmore Group, it's got
00:38:29potential, the
00:38:30Thunder Circle's
00:38:31watching it.
00:38:31But if that's your
00:38:32pitch deck to win them
00:38:33over, you're toast.
00:38:35Oh, really?
00:38:36And what would you know
00:38:37about it?
00:38:38You don't get how the
00:38:39business world works,
00:38:40little girl.
00:38:40funny coming from the
00:38:42guy who just proposed
00:38:42to that little girl
00:38:43five minutes ago.
00:38:53We might not be
00:38:54getting married, but I
00:38:55can still help you.
00:38:57Hey, what are you
00:38:57doing?
00:39:00Fixing your pitch.
00:39:02You're asking for a
00:39:02hundred million?
00:39:03Cute.
00:39:04Try a hundred billion.
00:39:06Excuse me, what?
00:39:09There.
00:39:10That's better.
00:39:12What the hell did you
00:39:13just do?
00:39:14You sent that?
00:39:14You actually sent it?
00:39:15You were underselling
00:39:16yourself.
00:39:18You hijacked my pitch.
00:39:19Do you have any idea
00:39:20what you've just done?
00:39:21I helped you.
00:39:23Helped?
00:39:23You call this helping?
00:39:25Sir, ma'am, is
00:39:26everything all right?
00:39:27We're good.
00:39:28He just got a hundred
00:39:29billion dollar investment.
00:39:31He's a bit emotional.
00:39:32Emotional.
00:39:35Well, congratulations.
00:39:37Trust me, the
00:39:38Thunder Circle doesn't
00:39:39make small moves.
00:39:40Asking for a hundred
00:39:41million, that's an
00:39:42insult.
00:39:43A hundred billion,
00:39:44that's where the
00:39:45conversation starts.
00:39:46You really need to
00:39:47think bigger.
00:39:47Did you seriously just
00:39:48say that?
00:39:49You're welcome.
00:39:50Great.
00:39:51First, you messed
00:39:51with my file.
00:39:52Then you humiliated
00:39:53me in public.
00:39:54Congratulations.
00:39:54You're officially the
00:39:55most infuriating woman
00:39:56I ever met.
00:39:57Lucky we're not
00:39:57married, huh?
00:40:00Still can't tell
00:40:01who's saving who.
00:40:09Please remain seated
00:40:10until the aircraft
00:40:11has come to a
00:40:12complete stop.
00:40:18Help a guy land a
00:40:19billion dollar deal
00:40:20and he doesn't even
00:40:21say thank you.
00:40:22Please.
00:40:22Daniel would never.
00:40:24Five years apart.
00:40:25He must be surprised
00:40:26if he sees me.
00:40:30You sure about this?
00:40:31Africa's far.
00:40:32It's not just a trip.
00:40:33I'm going to change
00:40:34the world, Dan.
00:40:35You always knew
00:40:35that was the dream.
00:40:38Here.
00:40:41When you come back,
00:40:42we'll get married.
00:40:48We'll get married.
00:40:57I'll get married.
00:40:58My boy, look at this.
00:40:59An entire party just for you.
00:41:02Whitmore Group doesn't do this
00:41:03for just anyone.
00:41:05We've officially made it.
00:41:06It's just the beginning, Mom.
00:41:08You know, my dream
00:41:09is to become someone
00:41:10like Sebastian Whitfall,
00:41:12the CEO.
00:41:14But he's a mystery,
00:41:16never appears in public.
00:41:20Assuming I'll see him today.
00:41:21After all these years
00:41:23of my funding,
00:41:24Daniel's finally made it.
00:41:26A PhD.
00:41:28Partner at Whitmore Group.
00:41:29It's time to let him know
00:41:31my real identity
00:41:32and start our sweet life.
00:41:47Is that Eleanor?
00:41:48Isn't she begging for life abroad?
00:41:50What the hell is she doing here?
00:42:02Daniel, congratulations.
00:42:05Eleanor.
00:42:06I heard about the offer.
00:42:08Thought I'd surprise you.
00:42:09Why are you here?
00:42:10I flew back.
00:42:11For you.
00:42:12Let me guess.
00:42:13You heard about his Whitmore offer,
00:42:15the salary,
00:42:15and you decided to claw your way back.
00:42:17What?
00:42:17Don't act surprised.
00:42:20Five years you vanished.
00:42:22The second he makes partner,
00:42:23you show up with discount flowers
00:42:25and a name that means nothing.
00:42:28You shouldn't have come, Eleanor.
00:42:31This, whatever we were,
00:42:33it's over.
00:42:34What?
00:42:35Let's break up.
00:42:39But why?
00:42:41We spent five years
00:42:43building towards this.
00:42:44You, you said you loved me.
00:42:48You thought Daniel would love you?
00:42:49Don't be absurd.
00:42:51My son has a PhD.
00:42:52He's just made partner at Whitmore,
00:42:54pulling in 30 million a year.
00:42:57And you?
00:42:58You vanished to Africa
00:42:59and worked there as a nanny.
00:43:00Do you really think
00:43:01that makes you worthy of him?
00:43:02My mom is right.
00:43:04We're not the same anymore.
00:43:05Not the same.
00:43:06Look around.
00:43:07This is the party
00:43:08Whitmore threw for me.
00:43:09These people?
00:43:11Legacy investors.
00:43:12Real powers.
00:43:13And you think I could introduce them
00:43:15to an embarrassment?
00:43:17I'm an embarrassment.
00:43:18So that's what this did to you.
00:43:20One offer from Whitmore
00:43:22and you think you're untouchable.
00:43:25Did you know, Daniel?
00:43:26To me, the Whitmore group is nothing.
00:43:28You arrogant little cockroach.
00:43:30How dare you look down
00:43:32on the top firm in this country?
00:43:34You want to know
00:43:35why Whitmore gave?
00:43:37Because someone vouched for you.
00:43:39Someone they'd never dare ignore.
00:43:41You that offer?
00:43:43And that someone
00:43:45was me.
00:43:54I'm sorry, what?
00:43:55Confirmed.
00:43:56Are you sure?
00:43:57Okay, thank you.
00:44:00Mr. Wiltford,
00:44:01you're not going to believe this.
00:44:02The Thunder Circle
00:44:03just approved
00:44:04a direct investment in us.
00:44:05They what?
00:44:06One hundred billion dollars.
00:44:09What?
00:44:10It's Lady Thunder's move, you know.
00:44:11The ghost chairwoman
00:44:12who runs the Thunder Circle.
00:44:13It's her first formal return
00:44:14to the States.
00:44:15And we're her first target.
00:44:16We got it.
00:44:17A hundred billion.
00:44:18But if that's your pitch deck
00:44:20to win them over?
00:44:21She was right.
00:44:23It's one hundred billion.
00:44:26Parker, find her.
00:44:27The woman from the Nairobi flight.
00:44:29Eleanor,
00:44:30I don't care what it takes.
00:44:31Find her.
00:44:34Understood.
00:44:35But what do you want with her?
00:44:37I'm going to marry her.
00:44:38Wait, what?
00:44:40I've never seen a challenging girl like he.
00:44:43She is the one I want.
00:44:47You self-important bitch!
00:44:49Who the hell do you think you are?
00:44:52I get it, Eleanor.
00:44:53You're not upset about the breakup.
00:44:55You're just pissed
00:44:55of all the money you poured into me.
00:44:57Just name your number.
00:44:58Once I get my first check from Whitmore,
00:45:00I'll pay you off
00:45:01and then we're done
00:45:02for good.
00:45:03Is that what you think?
00:45:06That I'm here chasing the money I gave you?
00:45:09Let's settle up.
00:45:10How about
00:45:11a hundred grand?
00:45:14Two hundred.
00:45:18Three.
00:45:20Daniel.
00:45:21That's my final offer.
00:45:23Three hundred thousand dollars, sweetheart.
00:45:25That's more than you've ever seen.
00:45:27You still think I came here for money?
00:45:29Just take it and go.
00:45:31My son should have dropped you ages ago.
00:45:33God knows what you were really doing over Sears.
00:45:36What do you mean?
00:45:37I mean,
00:45:37if you weren't selling yourself,
00:45:39how else could you afford to fund his education?
00:45:41You expect me to believe
00:45:42you earned that kind of money
00:45:43by nannying children?
00:45:44What?
00:45:45How dare you?
00:45:46Eleanor.
00:45:47For the sake of our seven years together,
00:45:49just take the money and leave.
00:45:51Daniel.
00:45:51I can't believe how heartless you are.
00:45:53He's done with you.
00:45:54Can't you get that through your thick head?
00:45:57She's not worth your time.
00:45:59Oh, where's Margaret?
00:46:00Didn't she say she was coming tonight?
00:46:02Yeah.
00:46:03Said she had something to handle first.
00:46:04Should be here soon.
00:46:05Margaret.
00:46:06Margaret.
00:46:06Daughter of James West,
00:46:07vice chair of Whitmore.
00:46:09Practically next in line after Sebastian.
00:46:11Only someone like her is a match for my son.
00:46:13Rich, properly pedigreed.
00:46:15And you,
00:46:16you're just a misstep he should have never taken.
00:46:19Eleanor,
00:46:20Margaret's on her way.
00:46:21You should leave.
00:46:21Trust me.
00:46:22You don't want to be here when she walks in.
00:46:26Because the moment you see her,
00:46:28you'll be ashamed of yourself.
00:46:32Now I see it.
00:46:33You didn't just break up with me because of the job.
00:46:36It was because of her.
00:46:37Margaret.
00:46:38At least with her,
00:46:39I can build something bigger.
00:46:40Really?
00:46:41And you're so sure I couldn't help you build something better than anything she could?
00:46:45You,
00:46:45please.
00:46:46So,
00:46:47you actually think you're better than me.
00:46:50Let me-
00:46:50Margaret,
00:46:51my dear,
00:46:51you're here.
00:46:53Let me guess.
00:46:55You're Eleanor.
00:46:57Daniel's ex-girlfriend.
00:46:58You look exactly how I pictured.
00:47:00Bargain box dress,
00:47:01basic face,
00:47:02still clinging to a man who left you behind like yesterday's trash.
00:47:05Oh,
00:47:05don't mind her.
00:47:06She never deserved to be with Daniel.
00:47:08Just a pathetic shadow tagging along.
00:47:10So,
00:47:11you seriously thought you could compete with me?
00:47:13I'm Margaret West,
00:47:15daughter of James West,
00:47:16vice chair of Whitmore Group.
00:47:17And you,
00:47:17you're not even worth the dirt under my heel.
00:47:19You're right.
00:47:20Because unlike you,
00:47:22I don't have to cling to daddy's title to matter.
00:47:24Excuse me?
00:47:25A piece of trash like you dares to talk back?
00:47:27Get out.
00:47:28Now.
00:47:28Before I have security drag you out like the street rat you are.
00:47:31Exactly.
00:47:32This is a ceremony for elites,
00:47:34not beggars.
00:47:38What the hell is going on here?
00:47:42Margaret,
00:47:43is everything all right?
00:47:45Why don't you ask her?
00:47:46She got dumped by Daniel,
00:47:47and now she's crashing his party.
00:47:49Dr. Prescott is our new partner,
00:47:51handpicked by Mr. Whitmore himself.
00:47:53Whatever this is,
00:47:54you're way out of line.
00:47:56Exactly.
00:47:56Look around.
00:47:57These aren't just normal guests,
00:47:59Mr. Cooper.
00:48:00This is Whitmore's A-team.
00:48:02CEOs,
00:48:02professionals,
00:48:03the people who run this city.
00:48:05And then there's her,
00:48:07some college dropout
00:48:08who thinks raise children in Africa is a career.
00:48:11I was running a charity.
00:48:12Oh,
00:48:13so that's what we're calling
00:48:15unemployment now.
00:48:17Charity?
00:48:18Honey,
00:48:19honey,
00:48:19just say you were broke
00:48:20and too proud to get a real job.
00:48:22We all know why she's here,
00:48:24chasing my son,
00:48:25hoping him will drag her out of the gutter.
00:48:27So she's a gold digger.
00:48:29That's pathetic.
00:48:31Next time you want to play elite,
00:48:32try finishing college first.
00:48:34You hear that?
00:48:35This is reality.
00:48:36My son,
00:48:37a PhD,
00:48:38future partner.
00:48:39You!
00:48:39Just the mud on his shoes.
00:48:45Now crawl back to the shack you came from.
00:48:48Your fairy tale is over.
00:48:56Eleanor,
00:48:57a woman can be broke
00:48:58or uneducated,
00:48:59but delusional,
00:49:00that's where I draw the line.
00:49:02No matter what you tell yourself,
00:49:04I would never marry you.
00:49:06Funny.
00:49:07You want to know my biggest mistake,
00:49:09Daniel?
00:49:09Believing in you.
00:49:11Seven years.
00:49:12Seven years of working,
00:49:14wiring money
00:49:15when you couldn't pay rent or tuition,
00:49:17and this is how it ends?
00:49:18Don't twist this.
00:49:19Stop acting like I forced you.
00:49:20I don't need to twist anything.
00:49:22I bankrolled your PhD,
00:49:24helped land your offer at Whitmore,
00:49:25and you dropped me
00:49:26the second you made it upstairs.
00:49:27I told you,
00:49:28I'd pay you back.
00:49:29What more do you want?
00:49:30You think this was a transaction.
00:49:32That's not remorse, Daniel.
00:49:34That's cowardice
00:49:35wrapped in a check.
00:49:40We're done.
00:49:42You're ungrateful little...
00:49:46That's enough!
00:49:47I'm done with your tantrums!
00:49:49Get the fuck out of my life!
00:49:51God, look at her.
00:49:53So desperate.
00:49:55Someone get her a towel.
00:49:56Her face is starting to make me sick.
00:49:59All right, lady, that's enough.
00:50:01Dr. Prescott's an asset to Whitmore,
00:50:03and you,
00:50:03you just humiliated yourself.
00:50:05Now get out.
00:50:07We found Eleanor, sir.
00:50:08Where?
00:50:09She's inside Whitmore HQ
00:50:10at the Prescott welcome event.
00:50:12Sounds like things are getting ugly.
00:50:15Dr. Prescott, quick.
00:50:15Head to the company now.
00:50:21See that?
00:50:22Everyone here knows
00:50:23you're humiliating yourself.
00:50:24Just leave, Eleanor,
00:50:25before this gets worse for you.
00:50:27Worse?
00:50:27What, because I dared to stand
00:50:29where I don't belong?
00:50:30You want to be the circus act?
00:50:31Fine, but don't expect me to save you
00:50:33when this all blows up in your face.
00:50:35Save me.
00:50:36That's rich.
00:50:37You don't have that right.
00:50:39You never did.
00:50:40Final warning.
00:50:41Walk out on your own,
00:50:42or I'll have security drag you out.
00:50:43Go ahead.
00:50:44Call your guards,
00:50:44but let's be clear.
00:50:45I walked into this building
00:50:47because I have every right to be here.
00:50:49And none of you
00:50:50has the power to push me out.
00:50:53Not even Sebastian.
00:50:56Faster.
00:50:57I don't care what it takes.
00:50:58Get me to her.
00:50:58Now.
00:50:59Yes, sir.
00:51:12Eleanor, do you have any idea
00:51:13what the name Sebastian Whitfield means?
00:51:15Wow.
00:51:16You're even dumber than I thought.
00:51:18You just insulted the man
00:51:19who built this empire.
00:51:20Even my father wouldn't dare challenge him.
00:51:23But you?
00:51:24You're so done.
00:51:26So, in your world,
00:51:28Sebastian Whitfield might be untouchable,
00:51:30but in mine,
00:51:31he's just a man.
00:51:32I'd be more worried if I were you.
00:51:34Because you put a hand on me,
00:51:35he might have a bigger problem with you.
00:51:37You must have a death wish.
00:51:38Eleanor, I get that the breakup hurt,
00:51:40but now you're spiraling.
00:51:41Disrespecting Mr. Whitmore like that,
00:51:43I was actually going to get you a janitor job here.
00:51:47You were going to recommend me for a janitor position.
00:51:49Do you know how competitive it is just to work here?
00:51:51Even our security guards have degrees.
00:51:54And you didn't even finish yours.
00:51:57So that's how you've always seen me?
00:51:58That's reality.
00:51:59And after everything,
00:52:01trust me,
00:52:01Whitmore has no place for you.
00:52:03I never needed your recommendation.
00:52:06And as for whether Whitmore has a place for me,
00:52:08why don't you go ask Sebastian Whitmore yourself?
00:52:27Where is she?
00:52:33Conference hall.
00:52:34It's tense.
00:52:35From what I heard,
00:52:36she and Daniel Prescott were involved.
00:52:38He dumped her.
00:52:39Huh.
00:52:41They broke up.
00:52:42Well, that saves me the trouble
00:52:43of stealing someone's fiance.
00:52:45Hey.
00:52:46Hey.
00:52:48Hey.
00:52:50Hey.
00:52:51Hey.
00:52:54What's your goal here, Eleanor?
00:52:55Seriously,
00:52:56trying to crash and burn in public?
00:52:58I'll tell you what it is.
00:52:59She couldn't keep you,
00:53:00so now she wants to drag you down with her.
00:53:03Ugh.
00:53:03Pathetic ex-revenge.
00:53:05Don't worry, Daniel.
00:53:06I've got you.
00:53:07Margaret's father is the vice chair.
00:53:10With their support,
00:53:12whatever stunt she's pulling ends.
00:53:14Trust me.
00:53:15And once Mr. Whitmore shows up,
00:53:16she's got maybe five minutes left.
00:53:17I can't believe how dumb you are, Eleanor.
00:53:19Honestly,
00:53:20leaving you was the best decision I've ever made.
00:53:22Was it?
00:53:22Because when the truth comes out,
00:53:24you'll realize it was the worst mistake of your life.
00:53:30What?
00:53:30Mr. Whitmore just arrived?
00:53:34Mr. Whitmore.
00:53:35He came straight from the airport.
00:53:37He's in the lobby now.
00:53:38Wait.
00:53:39He actually came?
00:53:41Oh, my God.
00:53:43He came to support Daniel.
00:53:46You hear that?
00:53:47Sebastian Whitweird is here for my son.
00:53:50This is it.
00:53:51No one can touch us now.
00:53:53Hear that, sweetheart?
00:53:54Whitney Group doesn't take in strays.
00:53:57Get out while you still have legs to walk on.
00:54:01Here's your last chance.
00:54:02Half a million dollars.
00:54:04Half a million?
00:54:05For her?
00:54:06It's worth it to keep her from ruining my night.
00:54:09Take the money, Eleanor.
00:54:10Disappear.
00:54:12That's more than you'll see in ten lifetimes.
00:54:14Be smart.
00:54:15Take it.
00:54:16And vanish.
00:54:22You talk a lot about power, Daniel.
00:54:25But when you know who I am,
00:54:26you'll be begging me to forget this moment ever happened.
00:54:31Oh, shit.
00:54:32What the hell?
00:54:34You dare humiliate me?
00:54:38Oh!
00:54:40You really think you're someone now?
00:54:43Someone's going to change everything.
00:54:46Ben, make your little announcement.
00:54:48But if it's bullshit,
00:54:49you'll be crawling out of here,
00:54:51kissing every shoe in this room.
00:54:52Oh, come on.
00:54:54This low-status nobody doesn't even deserve to kiss anyone's shoes here.
00:55:21Oh, come on.
00:55:26It burns!
00:55:30Only those with true Luna blood can bear this emblem.
00:55:33A fake like you will never be worthy of it.
00:55:36I married Alpha Evan out of gratitude.
00:55:39For three years, I guarded his pack.
00:55:42Yet Evan never loved me.
00:55:45He marked my sister before the whole pack.
00:55:48Everyone thought my sister was the pure-blood Luna.
00:55:51Evan blamed me for being infertile.
00:55:53You're a freak.
00:55:55Everyone mocked the golden-eyed freak,
00:55:57never knowing I was the true Luna heir.
00:55:59When the truth comes out,
00:56:01they will be shocked.
00:56:03Three years since I married Alpha Evan,
00:56:05Alpha Joseph's son.
00:56:06Alpha Joseph died shortly after I married Alpha Evan,
00:56:09and I kept my promise.
00:56:11As long as I remain within his territory,
00:56:13my Luna power automatically forms a protective barrier,
00:56:15warding off all invading rogue werewolves.
00:56:18I love Evan with all my heart
00:56:19and have given everything for him.
00:56:21Yet I have never managed to melt his cold heart.
00:56:23His heart has always belonged to my younger sister, Selina.
00:56:27Even after Selina abandoned him cruelly long ago,
00:56:29he still clings to memories of her.
00:56:31For three years,
00:56:32I wrapped the entire pack in my Luna barrier
00:56:34blocking every wave of rogue attacks.
00:56:37I loved him silently,
00:56:38yielded to him every night,
00:56:40and waited patiently for his mark.
00:56:41One day, after our intimacy,
00:56:44I cling to a faint hope.
00:56:46Evan, I've stayed by your side for three years.
00:56:49Won't you give me the mate mark I've always longed for?
00:56:52Three years, and you still can't conceive an heir.
00:56:54You're nothing but a freak with golden eyes.
00:56:57How dare you even beg for my mark?
00:56:59A useless freak?
00:57:01Who do you think has been shielding your pack
00:57:03in silence all these years?
00:57:05Shield my pack.
00:57:06Don't make me laugh.
00:57:07Your wolf power isn't even half as strong as Selina's.
00:57:10A cursed golden-eyed outpiece like you could never hold a candle to her.
00:57:14Stop deluding yourself.
00:57:15Evan leaves without looking back.
00:57:17He saw me as nothing more than a worthless golden-eyed freak,
00:57:20unworthy of his mark,
00:57:21unworthy of a place by his side.
00:57:24He assumed I was weak and decile,
00:57:26too dependent on this pack to ever leave.
00:57:29But his cold indifference killed every last bit of affection in my heart.
00:57:35Luna,
00:57:36Alpha Evan has instructed you to get ready.
00:57:38You are to attend the marking banquet at the main mansion tonight.
00:57:41Here is the banquet gown prepared for you.
00:57:43A glimmer of fragile hope stirred in my heart.
00:57:45Perhaps he had only spoken harshly earlier,
00:57:48intending to give me a surprise to finally acknowledge me and bestow his mark upon me.
00:57:52When I stepped into the main hall,
00:57:55champagne roses bloomed everywhere,
00:57:58and a huge banner reading Welcome Pack hung on the wall.
00:58:02Then I saw him,
00:58:03my husband,
00:58:05my mate,
00:58:05my Alpha,
00:58:07holding someone else in his arm.
00:58:10My sister,
00:58:11Selina.
00:58:12Let me make an announcement to everyone here.
00:58:15Today,
00:58:15I will place my exclusive mark upon my one and only mate,
00:58:20Selina.
00:58:21My heart didn't just break.
00:58:23It plunged to a frozen abyss,
00:58:26shattering into a million jagged spards of of ice.
00:58:28If he is marking her,
00:58:30if he is claiming my sister in front of the world,
00:58:34then what am I?
00:58:38The second the words left his lips,
00:58:41I froze on the spot.
00:58:42The roses blooming all through the hall
00:58:44were the very romance I'd never dared to dream of.
00:58:47The grand Welcome Pack banner hanging overhead
00:58:50mocked every foolish hope I'd clung to only moments before.
00:58:53Evan led Selina forward to a stop.
00:58:55Her gown was cut in the exact same style as mine,
00:58:58yet hers was encrust with diamonds,
00:59:00far more lavish by comparison.
00:59:03Evan had humiliated me on purpose,
00:59:05dressing me in an identical design but of far poorer quality.
00:59:08Selina put on a soft, gentle front
00:59:10and spoke to me in fake sweetness.
00:59:12Dear sister,
00:59:13thank you for coming all this way
00:59:15to witness my marking ceremony.
00:59:17I kept my eyes locked on Evan,
00:59:19my voice shaking with held back emotion.
00:59:21Why her?
00:59:22I've sacrificed so much for you.
00:59:24I stayed loyal by your side for three whole years.
00:59:29What good are all your sacrifices?
00:59:31Those eerie eyes of yours repel me
00:59:33and you can't even bear airs for the pack.
00:59:35You were never half as good as Selina,
00:59:37not then,
00:59:38not now.
00:59:39Evan licked at his hand,
00:59:40brushing it lightly along Selina's neck,
00:59:42then bowed his head
00:59:44to leave his claiming mark on her slowly and tenderly.
00:59:46When the mark was fully set,
00:59:48he slowly raised his eyes,
00:59:50scanning the bustling crowd
00:59:51before his gaze locked firmly on mine.
00:59:54Tears and applause burst out across the hall at once,
00:59:57loud blessings ringing through the air,
00:59:58yet every sound sliced right through my heart
01:00:01like a sharp knife.
01:00:02One of the pack elders stepped up onto the dace.
01:00:04He swept his gaze over the crowd,
01:00:06his tone grave and agmetic.
01:00:07As many of you know,
01:00:08our pack has long kept a secret.
01:00:10Among us lives a she-wolf
01:00:11who carries the rare pure-blood Luna lineage.
01:00:13The question we all wonder is this,
01:00:15who could she be?
01:00:20The pack members broke into quiet murmurs,
01:00:22all guessing who the she-wolf
01:00:23with hidden pure-blood Luna lineage might be.
01:00:26Amid the buzzing whispers,
01:00:28Charlotte, Evan's mother,
01:00:29and the pack's reigning Luna
01:00:30rose slowly from her grand ornate throne
01:00:32atop the dace,
01:00:33carrying herself with unbridled arrogance and authority.
01:00:35There's no need for pointless speculation.
01:00:38It can only be Selina.
01:00:39She boasts exceptional wolf talent
01:00:41and immense innate power.
01:00:43I have always known she is the fated one.
01:00:46I never thought Joseph would act recklessly
01:00:48and force Evan into a marriage with Isabella.
01:00:51A smug smile tugged at Selina's lips.
01:00:53She gave a slight, polite bow.
01:00:56Thank you for your kind praise and recognition,
01:00:58Luna Charlotte.
01:00:59I stepped forward before I could stop myself,
01:01:01holding her gaze straight.
01:01:05What gives you such certainty
01:01:07that it must be Selina?
01:01:08Charlotte let out a mocking laugh,
01:01:10as if I'd told the most absurd joke imaginable.
01:01:12She raked her eyes over me coldly,
01:01:14full of contempt.
01:01:15Could it possibly be you?
01:01:17A freak with unnatural golden eyes,
01:01:19good for nothing.
01:01:21Do you truly think you are worthy
01:01:23of possessing the noble pure-blood Luna lineage?
01:01:26Stop indulging in foolish fantasies.
01:01:28The second her words fell,
01:01:30the whole hall erupted in mocking laughter,
01:01:33thick with scorn and disdain.
01:01:34I turned to Evan,
01:01:36clinging to a faint hope
01:01:37that he would stand up for me,
01:01:39that he would grant me
01:01:40even the smallest bit of fairness.
01:01:42But Evan made no move
01:01:43to defend me at all.
01:01:45His expression turned icy instead,
01:01:47his voice laced with revulsion.
01:01:49You would do best
01:01:50to leave the ceremony
01:01:51of your own accord.
01:01:53Staying here will only bring you
01:01:54further shame
01:01:55and make a public fool of yourself.
01:01:59If you refuse to go,
01:02:00you may tend to the guests in the kitchen
01:02:02and keep to yourself quietly.
01:02:07Evan's cold, dismissive words
01:02:09cut straight through me,
01:02:10sharp and biting to the bone.
01:02:12Every eye in the room
01:02:13lingered only on Selina,
01:02:15bright with anticipation.
01:02:16It was as if everyone
01:02:18already took it for granted
01:02:19that her so-called
01:02:20Luna divine power
01:02:22would lead Evan's pack
01:02:23to new prosperity.
01:02:25I'd borne endless humiliation
01:02:26for far too long,
01:02:28endured endless scorn
01:02:29and mockery
01:02:29from those around me.
01:02:30All the grief and resentment
01:02:32I'd kept locked inside
01:02:33finally spilled over.
01:02:34The true bearer
01:02:35of the pure-blood Luna Tinergy
01:02:37is not...
01:02:38Selina.
01:02:40It has always been me.
01:02:41The hall burst
01:02:42into mocking laughter
01:02:43once again.
01:02:44Charlotte doubled over,
01:02:45clutching her stomach,
01:02:47mocking me without restraint.
01:02:48Evan and Selina
01:02:49shared a disdainful smirk,
01:02:51dismissing my words
01:02:52as ridiculous ravings.
01:02:55Have you lost your senses?
01:02:58How dare a golden-eyed freak
01:03:00like you claim the pure-blood
01:03:03Luna lineage for yourself?
01:03:06Evan's brows drew tight,
01:03:08his tone sharp
01:03:09and unforgiving.
01:03:11Isabella,
01:03:11are you spouting nonsense
01:03:13out of jealousy
01:03:14now that I've marked Selina?
01:03:16Stop making a fool
01:03:17of yourself.
01:03:18No one in the room
01:03:19believed a word I said.
01:03:21Their geels pricked my heart
01:03:22like a thousand needles.
01:03:24Staring at their hypocritical,
01:03:25ugly faces,
01:03:26I only felt cold amusement
01:03:28and chose not to explain
01:03:29myself any further.
01:03:30When I fell quiet,
01:03:31the crowd quickly
01:03:32lost interest in me,
01:03:33turning their full attention
01:03:34back to Selina.
01:03:35Evan slipped an arm
01:03:36around her waist,
01:03:37his fingers brushing lightly
01:03:38over the fresh mark
01:03:39on her neck.
01:03:40From this day forward,
01:03:42Selina's Luna divine power
01:03:44will shield our pack
01:03:45and keep us safe
01:03:46and at peace.
01:03:50When she saw I still
01:03:51hadn't moved an inch,
01:03:52the smug look on Selina's face
01:03:54faded a little.
01:03:55Replaced by impatience
01:03:57and haughty condescension
01:03:58in her tone.
01:03:59Dear sister,
01:04:00if you know what's best
01:04:01for yourself,
01:04:02gather your things
01:04:03and leave for home at once.
01:04:05Father is waiting for you there.
01:04:07Don't linger here
01:04:08and ruin everyone's celebration.
01:04:09I stood perfectly still,
01:04:11my expression unchanging,
01:04:13merely staring back at her
01:04:14with quiet indifference.
01:04:15I am keeping my oath
01:04:17to Alpha Joseph
01:04:17by remaining here
01:04:18to watch over Evan's pack.
01:04:20I will not leave
01:04:21until my three-year vow
01:04:23is fulfilled.
01:04:24The smile on Selina's face
01:04:25frozen instantly,
01:04:26then twisted into a cold,
01:04:28calculating smirk.
01:04:29She stepped half a step nearer
01:04:30and lowered her voice,
01:04:31letting only me hear her words.
01:04:33A vow?
01:04:35Sister, you're far too naive.
01:04:37Evan's pack has never
01:04:38needed your protection,
01:04:39nor will it ever accept
01:04:40a golden-eyed freak like you.
01:04:42Today, I'll make sure
01:04:43you're driven out of this place
01:04:44for good.
01:04:45The moment she finished speaking,
01:04:46she lurched backwards suddenly,
01:04:48her legs giving way
01:04:48as she crumpled heavily
01:04:49to the floor.
01:04:50She pressed her hands
01:04:51to the corners of her eyes
01:04:52and raised her voice sharply,
01:04:54letting it ring out
01:04:55across the entire hall.
01:04:56Sister, I know
01:04:57you're jealous of me,
01:04:58but you have no right
01:05:00to push me like this.
01:05:01I hadn't shifted
01:05:02a single step
01:05:03from where I stood.
01:05:04The cheering in the hall
01:05:05died away in an instant.
01:05:07Every pair of eyes
01:05:08fixed on us both
01:05:09filled with disdain,
01:05:10accusation,
01:05:10and the cold dislatchment
01:05:12of onlookers
01:05:12ready to watch
01:05:13a spectacle unfold.
01:05:14Evan rushed over at once,
01:05:16lifting Selina gently
01:05:16into his arms
01:05:17and holding her close
01:05:18in a protective embrace.
01:05:19He shot me at icy glare,
01:05:21rage blazing in his eyes.
01:05:23Isabella,
01:05:24you've crossed every line.
01:05:26From this day on,
01:05:27I formally disavow you
01:05:28and cast you out of the pack.
01:05:29You are forbidden
01:05:30from ever stepping foot
01:05:31on our territory
01:05:32for the rest of your life.
01:05:36I stayed rooted
01:05:37to the spot
01:05:38as Evan glared at me
01:05:39like he could kill
01:05:40with his eyes,
01:05:40the air between us
01:05:42turning icy cold.
01:05:43I didn't hurt Selina.
01:05:45She fell on her own.
01:05:47Evan leaned down
01:05:48to strope Selina's back gently,
01:05:49then looked up again,
01:05:51his rage so intense
01:05:52it felt like it could
01:05:53burn me to the ground.
01:05:54Do you really think
01:05:55I'd believe the lies
01:05:56of a golden-eyed freak
01:05:57like you?
01:05:58Selina just got my mark
01:05:59and she's still weak.
01:06:01How dare you touch her?
01:06:02Charlotte stepped up
01:06:03beside Evan,
01:06:04her eyes dripping
01:06:05with even more disdain,
01:06:06her voice sharp enough
01:06:07to cut.
01:06:08Isabella,
01:06:09you still won't admit
01:06:10what you did.
01:06:12Your excuses only
01:06:13make you more disgusting.
01:06:14A filthy creature
01:06:15like you belong
01:06:16locked up in the dungeon.
01:06:18Evan pulled Selina
01:06:19behind him,
01:06:20unleashing his overwhelming
01:06:21alpha aura
01:06:22in a heartbeat.
01:06:23I see pressure
01:06:24washing over
01:06:24the entire hall.
01:06:25He started the formal
01:06:26mate rejection
01:06:27right there
01:06:28in front of everyone.
01:06:28No trace of regret
01:06:29in his eyes,
01:06:30only pure coldness
01:06:31and contempt.
01:06:32I, Evan,
01:06:33reject you as my mate.
01:06:34I lifted my eyes
01:06:35to meet his gaze,
01:06:36my voice as calm
01:06:37as a frozen lake.
01:06:39I accept your rejection.
01:06:40The mate bond
01:06:41snapped suddenly,
01:06:42a searing,
01:06:42tearing pain
01:06:43shooting through
01:06:43every part of my body.
01:06:44The agony of the bond
01:06:45breaking hit first,
01:06:46and then tears
01:06:47slipped silently
01:06:47down my cheeks.
01:06:48The mate bond
01:06:49that had held us together
01:06:50for three years
01:06:51was breaking apart,
01:06:52fading little by little,
01:06:53each piece throbbing
01:06:54with a dull ache.
01:06:55But none of that pain
01:06:56came close to the cold
01:06:57emptiness in my chest.
01:06:58I curled my fingers tight,
01:06:59nails digging deep
01:07:00into my palms,
01:07:01forcing myself
01:07:02to bear the searing agony.
01:07:03You can't bear airs.
01:07:04The worst shame
01:07:05an alpha could ever face.
01:07:07Selima's nothing like you.
01:07:09She carries the pure blood
01:07:10Luna lineage,
01:07:12and only she's worthy
01:07:13of standing by my side,
01:07:14bearing my strongest pups
01:07:16and leading the pack
01:07:17to greater glory.
01:07:21Selima leaned comfortably
01:07:22in Evan's arms,
01:07:23her eyes glinting
01:07:25with a taunting edge
01:07:26as she stared
01:07:27at my disheveled state.
01:07:29Sister,
01:07:30why are you still standing here?
01:07:32If I were you,
01:07:33I'd hurry up
01:07:34and pack my things to leave.
01:07:36Don't linger here
01:07:37being a bother.
01:07:38Watching them throw jabs
01:07:39back and forth,
01:07:40their contempt plain as day,
01:07:41my mind wandered back
01:07:42to a memory from long ago
01:07:43of being rescued.
01:07:45Out on the frozen plains,
01:07:46caught in wind and snow,
01:07:48I lay wounded
01:07:48and gave me a second chance.
01:07:50It was Joseph
01:07:51he told me I carried
01:07:52an extremely rare
01:07:53pure blood Luna lineage.
01:07:55Later,
01:07:55on his deathbed,
01:07:56he held my hand tight,
01:07:58his gaze earnest,
01:08:00as he begged me
01:08:00to protect Evan
01:08:01and his pack
01:08:02with everything I had.
01:08:03Joseph,
01:08:04look at what's become of us.
01:08:05For three years,
01:08:07I've guarded your pack faithfully,
01:08:09warding off rogue attacks
01:08:10this entire time.
01:08:11I've even quietly nourished
01:08:12the pack lands
01:08:13with my Luna energy,
01:08:14making them stronger
01:08:15and more thriving
01:08:16with each passing day.
01:08:17Yet now,
01:08:18your own son
01:08:18chases me away.
01:08:20I've seen his true colors clearly.
01:08:22He's never been worth
01:08:22my protection.
01:08:23In that moment,
01:08:25the last bit of gratitude
01:08:26I'd felt for Joseph
01:08:27vanished completely.
01:08:28I'd kept my promise,
01:08:29and my debt
01:08:30was paid in full.
01:08:31Evan,
01:08:32after these three years,
01:08:33I owe you nothing,
01:08:34and I owe your pack
01:08:36nothing either.
01:08:37I only hope you never
01:08:39come to regret this day.
01:08:40Evan let out a scoff
01:08:41of disbelief,
01:08:42looking away from me
01:08:43in disgust,
01:08:44his tone to get
01:08:45and dismissal.
01:08:46Regret?
01:08:47Cutting loose a burden
01:08:48like you
01:08:48is the smartest thing
01:08:49I've ever done.
01:08:50Now get out of my sight.
01:08:51Now.
01:08:52The mate bond
01:08:53shattered entirely,
01:08:54not a single thread
01:08:55of connection
01:08:56left between us.
01:08:57Just then,
01:08:57Evan's brows
01:08:58fronted sharply,
01:08:59his alpha aura
01:09:00tensing up in an instant.
01:09:01Many pack members
01:09:02looked up too,
01:09:02their expressions on edge.
01:09:04A faint yet thick
01:09:04rustling sound
01:09:05drifted from the edge
01:09:06of the manor,
01:09:07low and menacing.
01:09:08It was the sound
01:09:08of rogues closing in,
01:09:10hundreds of miles away
01:09:11and closing fast.
01:09:15Little did they know,
01:09:16with me reject
01:09:17and cast out,
01:09:18my all-encompassing
01:09:19Luna protection barrier
01:09:20had vanished,
01:09:21completely.
01:09:22The feral rogues
01:09:23I'd held back,
01:09:24kept at bay
01:09:25for three long years.
01:09:26We're now charging
01:09:28straight for their borders
01:09:29in droves.
01:09:30And now that I'm gone,
01:09:32how will a weak alpha,
01:09:33paired with a fake mate
01:09:35who has no true
01:09:36Luna power at all,
01:09:37defend this pack
01:09:38against thousands
01:09:39of bloodthirsty rogues?
01:09:43Get to the pack perimeter
01:09:44now and check out
01:09:45that noise.
01:09:46Waste any time,
01:09:48and you'll pay
01:09:49with your lives.
01:09:50Yes, sir.
01:09:53You're scared, Evan.
01:09:55This is what happens
01:09:56when you reject me.
01:09:57The rogues are closing in.
01:09:58Spare me your empty threats
01:09:59and delusional garbage.
01:10:00I formerly banished you.
01:10:02Know your place and leave.
01:10:03My pack hasn't seen
01:10:04a rogue in years.
01:10:05Do you really think
01:10:06you can curse us?
01:10:07You're just spouting nonsense
01:10:08out of spite
01:10:08for being cast aside,
01:10:10trying to stir up trouble.
01:10:11Exactly.
01:10:12Isabella,
01:10:13you can't stand
01:10:13being thrown out
01:10:14so you want to curse our pack?
01:10:15I see your true colors now.
01:10:17You're cruel to the core.
01:10:18If the rogues really come,
01:10:20you'll be the first one
01:10:21they grab.
01:10:21Let's see who's there
01:10:22to protect you then.
01:10:23Watching their hypocritical,
01:10:25colliding faces,
01:10:25I felt nothing
01:10:26but cold amusement.
01:10:27There was no point
01:10:28in wasting another word on them.
01:10:30I'd kept my promise,
01:10:31settled all scores.
01:10:32No reason to linger
01:10:33in this repulsive place
01:10:34any longer,
01:10:35putting up with their
01:10:36endless mockery
01:10:37and disdain.
01:10:38But the second
01:10:38I took a step to leave,
01:10:40Charlotte rushed over
01:10:40and cut me off.
01:10:41Hold it right there.
01:10:43You're not going anywhere.
01:10:46Isabella,
01:10:47Evan's formally marked Selena
01:10:48and the pack's true Luna
01:10:49is now in her rightful place.
01:10:50It's time you hand over
01:10:51that emblem.
01:10:52This sacred treasure,
01:10:53a symbol of the pack's glory,
01:10:55has no business
01:10:55resting on a freak like you.
01:10:57Exactly.
01:10:58Such a precious relic
01:10:59can't be tainted
01:11:00by someone unworthy.
01:11:01It belongs to me,
01:11:02the one who carries
01:11:03the pure-blood Luna lineage.
01:11:05Lady Luna Charlotte,
01:11:06I can feel the power
01:11:07in this emblem
01:11:08calling to me.
01:11:09Could it be,
01:11:10is the hidden pure-blood
01:11:11Luna lineage
01:11:11inside me
01:11:12finally waking up?
01:11:13Do you really believe
01:11:14that's what's happening,
01:11:15Selena?
01:11:16It has to be true.
01:11:18Only a noble,
01:11:19pure silver-eyed werewolf
01:11:20is worthy
01:11:20of wearing this emblem.
01:11:22Not like some outscat
01:11:23who's clung to a sacred relic
01:11:24for years,
01:11:25can't even bear an heir
01:11:26and wastes its power
01:11:27for nothing.
01:11:51Only those with true Luna blood
01:11:52can bear this emblem.
01:11:53A fake like you
01:11:54will never be worthy of it.
