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.
00:25Céline, I'm sorry. Alara won't survive here. You're stronger than she is.
00:31I watched them turn and walk away. I kept waiting for one of them to look back. No one did.
00:38Cain laughed, and his claws drove through my chest.
00:43As I was fading, a warmth surged through my body.
00:48The wound in my chest sealed itself shut, and everything went white.
00:55When I opened my eyes, I was lying in my old chambers in the palace.
01:01The wound on my chest was gone. Not even a scar.
01:05It was my mother's doing.
01:08My 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.
01:25Selina, 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. I should put an end to this.
01:41Orarius has waited ten years for you.
01:45He has refused every match until now.
01:48He'll be glad.
01:50The day I come back, I will marry him.
01:53After he left, I picked up my silver blade from the stand by the window.
01:58Nostalgic Valerius had fought through a vampire's lair for three days to take that blade.
02:05Fonty gave it to me in my third year with the Hunters.
02:09I wore it every day after that.
02:11Warm Kaelin used to tease me about it.
02:16Selina 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 Biles were out on the lawn with Alara.
02:42Valerius sat a little apart, sharpening a blade.
02:46All stopped when they saw me.
02:49Alara ran over barefoot.
02:50Selina!
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.
03:21Selina!
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?
03:58What did she do to deserve that?
04:03But 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, Selina.
04:20I 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.
04:28Nothing 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.
04:41I looked at Valerius.
05:05Valerius.
05:06The man I had once believed in completely.
05:12I 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.
05:25And the moon shadow I couldn't stop seeing.
05:35I 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 lay 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.
06:09When I woke up, moon shadow made me freeze.
06:12My vision went red and my whole body shook.
06:15One look at those flowers and I was back in that field.
06:18Every time.
06:19Valerius took me on as his apprentice.
06:22She's new.
06:23Look after her like she's your own sister.
06:25I knew humans feared werewolves.
06:27So I hid what I was.
06:29I learned to fight the way they fought and train the way they trained and let them think I was
06:34one of them.
06:35They were nice to me.
06:37They taught me every move.
06:39Every technique.
06:41Patient even when I was slow to learn.
06:43I was hurt only once.
06:45A vampire bat caught my shoulder and opened it up.
06:48Kalen 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.
07:00I swear.
07:01I'll be better.
07:03Nothing 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 Kalen 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 hunters' base was still my home.
08:30They were still my family.
08:33Misunderstandings clear up.
08:35I believe 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.
08:57How I'd made it out.
08:59Alive.
09:04I woke up still on the back hill.
09:06By then it was deep into the night and the flowers had all died, leaving nothing but ice and snow.
09:12I got up and walked back on stiff legs.
09:15The main hall was lit and warm.
09:17Figures moved through the windows.
09:19Valerius, Cailin, Tobias.
09:22All three of them, keeping Alara company.
09:25I pushed open my own door.
09:28Dark.
09:29Cold.
09:31I 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.
09:57That was all behind me now.
10:00My throat ached.
10:02Cailin.
10:03That's my birthday gift from Valerius.
10:06Alara isn't getting better.
10:07We've tried everything.
10:09If the darkness takes hold, it won't let go.
10:11No.
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.
10:38And here was Cailin, not seeing it.
10:42And if I say no...
10:43Selim!
10:45She's like a little sister to all of us.
10:48She was still standing up for you today, and you'd let her fall over one flower?
10:53How can you be this cold?
10:54Don'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, the Lily was already out of the ground.
11:16Tobias had it in his hands.
11:18Roots bare, white petals laced through with thin red threads, already going limp.
11:27Ten years of my blood, a 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.
11:49That belongs to Selina.
11:51He 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, one 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 past.
12:13Composed, cold, Valerius.
12:15I made one last try.
12:17Valerius, I fed that Lily ten years of my own blood.
12:23Are you really going to give it to her?
12:26He 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.
12:39The last thing holding me together let go.
12:42My fingers went slack.
12:44My palm, where I'd broken the skin with my own nails, drifted onto the stone floor.
12:50Valerius took the Lily from Kaylin's hands, knelt beside Alara and pressed it to her lips.
12:57In an instant, it 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, get some sleep.
13:09Kaylin stopped in the doorway.
13:11He looked back at me.
13:12At my bleeding hand and my shaking legs.
13:15We spoiled you too much.
13:17That's the problem.
13:19Stop performing.
13:21Competing with Alara like this.
13:23It's beneath you.
13:24Tobias left without a word.
13:27There was no reason left to stay.
13:29I went back to my room and picked up a pen.
13:32I have been a poor student.
13:34Lazy and difficult and never as grateful as I should have been.
13:40You took me in and trained me and 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 and the snow blew sideways and I didn't move.
13:56Then I turned and walked into the dark and didn't look back.
14:01Once I was past the tree line, I shifted.
14:04Four legs were faster than two and I had a long way to go.
14:08But the wound from Kaylin had never fully closed.
14:11In my wolf form, it tore open again and blood ran down my front leg with every stride.
14:19I kept going until I couldn't feel my paws.
14:23And then I kept going after that.
14:25I don't remember going down.
14:28Warmth reached me before 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, clean clothes and some easily digestible food for her.
14:43I don't know your name.
14:45Call me Rel.
14:46The street was filled with flowers.
14:50What's the occasion?
14:52You must be from out of town.
14:54Our king is getting married.
14:57The 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 but laughed easily.
15:15Everyone open and unhurried.
15:18Nothing like what I had expected.
15:20Past the city gates, I heard it before I saw it.
15:24A sound like thunder rolling across a clear sky.
15:29And then a shadow swept over the ground.
15:32I looked up.
15:32A dragon.
15:34Scales black as night.
15:36Wings wide enough to block out the sun.
15:39It circled once and came down in the field ahead of me.
15:44Landing so lightly the grass barely moved.
15:49Then the shape folded in on itself.
15:53And 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 from every corner of the realm.
16:16Aurelius had no parents.
16:19The only family at the ceremony was my father,
16:22the alpha king of the werewolves.
16:25I knew he was happy and he wasn't ready.
16:29I wore the veil and held Aurelius' hand.
16:32And we turned to face the crowd.
16:35Congratulations to the dragon king on his bride.
16:39He turned to the entrance, calm.
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, don't be rude.
17:00My student is young and careless.
17:03Forgive us.
17:04Voice was sharp.
17:05His eyes were soft.
17:07He was protecting her the way he always did.
17:11Valerius seemed confused.
17:14He and my father had 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, beating 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.
17:46Aurelius lifted the edge of the veil
17:48and drew it back.
17:50Our queen is beautiful.
17:53Walk with the queen.
17:55Selene.
17:58Selene.
18:00Selene.
18:03On 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 Elara skip to the front.
18:45So you're the Dragon King.
18:46Your queen is so pretty.
18:50Elara,
18:51don't be rude.
18:53My student is young and careless.
18:56Forgive us.
18:57Voice 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.
19:11No 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 to come off.
19:30Children 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.
20:06Married to the most powerful king
20:07in the realm.
20:09Selene.
20:09Are you really doing this?
20:11Kalian.
20:11The ceremony is done.
20:13I'm his queen now.
20:14Selene.
20:14Don't.
20:16When did you become so cold to me?
20:18The girl you knew died that night
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 as 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 leaves sober.
20:52He pulled the crowd's attention away
20:54and left us space.
20:55The noise faded.
20:57The 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.
21:35That dress.
21:37Aurelius had given it to me
21:39the night before the wedding.
21:40I don't know how many times
21:41I started over
21:43but you said yes
21:44and I've never been happier.
21:46The Dragon King.
21:47The ruler of every creature
21:49in this land.
21:50A man whose hands
21:51could crush entire cities.
21:53Sitting quietly beneath candlelight
21:54with a needle and thread.
21:56His fingers had been covered
21:58in tiny wounds from the needle.
21:59and now
22:00Alara had torn it.
22:03I drew the nearest blade
22:05and pressed it
22:06against 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
22:29you're untouchable?
22:30Is this what I taught you?
22:31You were nobody
22:32when I found you.
22:33Without us behind you
22:34how long do you think
22:35you'll last?
22:36I stared at the man
22:38standing before me
22:39and wondered
22:40how this could possibly
22:41be 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
22:52to him alone.
22:53This is mine
22:54to handle father.
22:56He 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
23:11or push me aside
23:13or 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 moon heart lily
23:59already dissolving
24:00inside Alara's body
24:01and smiled.
24:02Don't worry father
24:03they won't have it easy either.
24:06And I have Aurelius now.
24:09Aurelius came back at a run.
24:10He checked me over twice
24:12before he believed
24:13I was alright.
24:14Aurelius is a good man.
24:16Alara's condition
24:17turned faster
24:17than I had expected.
24:19The moon heart lily
24:20had been fed
24:20with my blood
24:21for ten years.
24:23Inside it
24:23was the pure bloodline
24:25of the werewolf royal house.
24:27Alara was human.
24:28Her body had no way
24:29to hold that kind of power.
24:31It was tearing her apart
24:33from the inside.
24:34Selene
24:35what did you do to her?
24:37You're the great vampire hunter
24:39Valerius
24:39you can see what's inside her.
24:41We stood face to face again.
24:43The love and the hatred
24:44I had carried for years
24:46were both gone.
24:48There was nothing left
24:49but calm.
24:52There's alpha bloodline
24:53running through her
24:54I can't fix it.
24:56Selene
24:57you've moved on
24:58you have your king
24:59can't you let it go?
25:01Was it Aurelius
25:01at the wedding?
25:02Did he do something to her?
25:05Alara isn't worth
25:06Aurelius lifting a finger.
25:07You know it's alpha blood.
25:09Ask yourself
25:10when she could have
25:10taken it in.
25:11She ate something
25:12she had no right to eat.
25:13That's nobody's fault
25:14but hers.
25:16Valerius
25:17I didn't...
25:18I know.
25:19I'll fix this.
25:23What a show
25:24Valerius
25:25and his precious student.
25:26Very moving.
25:27If I didn't know better
25:28I'd say you two were in love.
25:30Enough!
25:31You think being queen
25:32puts you above everyone?
25:33I was your teacher.
25:34I still have the right
25:35to hold you to account.
25:36In the dragon realm?
25:37No.
25:38You don't.
25:40And if you care about her life
25:42I'd watch your tone.
25:44Do you even know
25:45who I am Valerius?
25:47Who you are?
25:48You were nothing
25:48before Valerius found you.
25:50From nobody
25:50to princess overnight?
25:51That's a joke.
25:57Who cares
25:58touch my daughter?
26:00My father's eyes
26:01were ice.
26:02Alpha King
26:03Valerius
26:04your students
26:05have insulted
26:05my daughter twice now.
26:07Can't you keep them
26:08in line?
26:09Or do you think
26:10the werewolves
26:11have nobody left
26:11to answer for her?
26:14Salim is really
26:15your daughter?
26:16My own blood.
26:20Would I be wrong
26:21about that?
26:24I've heard
26:25what happened.
26:25That you picked
26:26another girl
26:27over her.
26:28More than once.
26:30That you left her
26:31in Cain's hands
26:32and nearly got her killed.
26:36We chose
26:37to save Alara first.
26:39That was my call.
26:41Your call.
26:42People have favorites.
26:44You picked
26:44your precious student.
26:45I won't argue that.
26:47But after?
26:48Did any of you
26:49check on my daughter
26:50even once?
26:52Cain put his hand
26:53through her chest.
26:54She nearly
26:55didn't come back.
27:00Selene.
27:01That's true.
27:03If my mother
27:04hadn't carved
27:05the moon mark
27:05into my blood
27:06I would have died
27:06that night.
27:08None of you
27:09would have found a body.
27:10I never sensed
27:11your life fading.
27:12I thought you were fine.
27:14You want to know
27:15what you were doing
27:16while I was dying?
27:17You were planting
27:18moon shadow
27:19for Alara.
27:20You knew what
27:21moon shadow
27:21does to me.
27:22Alara got grazed
27:23by the darkness
27:24and all three of you
27:24fell over yourselves
27:25to take care of her.
27:26I had Cain's hand
27:27through my heart
27:28and nobody came.
27:30But I have
27:31Alarius now.
27:32Someone who actually
27:33loves me.
27:34So why won't
27:34you leave me alone?
27:35Selene.
27:36But Alara is innocent.
27:37Saving her was our choice.
27:39Be angry at us.
27:42Innocent.
27:44But save her first.
27:47If she's so innocent
27:49then explain
27:50why every time
27:50I knocked a blade
27:51away from her
27:52in training
27:52she still ended up
27:53with a wound
27:54to show everyone.
27:59If she's so innocent
28:00explain the honey cakes.
28:03I made them for her
28:04with my own hands.
28:06Somehow they were
28:07full of poison.
28:09If she's so innocent
28:11explain why she went
28:12to the training hall
28:13alone in the middle
28:14of winter
28:15and drilled
28:16until dawn
28:17then cried to you
28:18that I had forced her.
28:23I was tired.
28:26I was the Alpha
28:27King's daughter.
28:29You thought I would
28:30stoop to competing
28:31with her.
28:31I didn't even know
28:32what she was doing
28:33until it was too late.
28:41Valerius
28:43Caelan
28:44I didn't
28:45I would never
28:45I watched the three
28:47of them
28:47after everything
28:48after all of this
28:50were they still going
28:51to close their eyes
28:52and believe her?
28:53Is what Selene
28:54says true?
28:56Alara had nothing left
28:57any denial would sound
28:58like exactly what it was
28:59even then I wouldn't
29:00use the moonheart lily.
29:01I had fed it my blood
29:02for ten years Valerius.
29:04Ten years.
29:06Did you ever wonder
29:06how a flower that dies
29:08the moment it's picked
29:08stayed alive all that time?
29:11His eyes went to the memory.
29:13The lily in Tobias's hands.
29:15The thin red threads
29:17running through
29:17the white petals.
29:19He opened his mouth
29:20and nothing came out.
29:22Everything he could say
29:23was too small.
29:24Don't bother.
29:26Save the apology.
29:29Spend the energy
29:30on figuring out
29:30what to do with Alara.
29:35Harming the daughter
29:36of the Alpha King
29:37was a crime
29:38in every corner
29:38of the realm.
29:39Whatever feeling
29:40Valerius still had
29:41for Alina
29:42it couldn't survive this.
29:45Why?
29:45We 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
29:59was raging now.
30:01Responding to my anger
30:03burning through her
30:04Valerius drew a slow breath.
30:06He drew his blade
30:07walked to Alara
30:09and cut a line
30:10and cut a line
30:11across both her palms
30:12in one motion.
30:13Alara screamed.
30:14The cuts wouldn't kill her
30:16but through the open wounds
30:18the Alpha blood
30:19that had been building
30:20inside her
30:21began to drain out.
30:23And with it
30:24every trace of strength
30:25she had ever gained.
30:26She'll never hold a weapon again.
30:28She'll never fight.
30:29She'll never grow stronger.
30:31After today
30:31I'll leave her at Cain's gates.
30:34Whatever Selene suffered there
30:36Alara will pay back
30:38a hundred times over.
30:39He was speaking to me
30:40and to my father.
30:42I have done my worst
30:43in punishing her.
30:45That's Alara's punishment.
30:47What about yours?
30:49The effort of what
30:50he had just done
30:51had cost him
30:51more than he let on.
30:53What about the hunters
30:54who doubted me
30:55and threw me away?
30:56Valerius's face was grey.
30:58I failed you.
30:59Whatever comes next
31:00I'll take it.
31:01Spare Calum and Tobias.
31:02Forget it.
31:04I looked at the two
31:05who had once
31:05been everything to me.
31:07You raised me.
31:08That much is real.
31:09Trained for me.
31:10Avenged me.
31:12The debt between us
31:13is paid.
31:15Go home.
31:16They left.
31:18Valerius carried Alara.
31:19He could barely walk straight.
31:21A vampire hunter
31:23who could barely stand.
31:24Carrying a girl
31:25who had lost everything.
31:26Walking back through territory
31:28crawling with the things
31:29he had spent his life killing.
31:30They never made it home.
31:34Cain's scouts
31:35found them on the road.
31:36Valeria at full strength
31:38was a match
31:38for any vampire alive.
31:41But he had nothing left.
31:42They took him
31:43and Alara both.
31:45I heard they spent
31:45their days in Cain's lair.
31:47Never able to die.
31:49Never able to escape.
31:52Cailin and Tobias
31:52stayed at the empty
31:53hunter's base.
31:54They never took
31:55another student.
31:56But none of that
31:57had anything to do
31:58with me anymore.
31:59Aurelius and I were happy.
32:01He loved me
32:02and I loved him.
32:03He never doubted me.
32:05Never questioned me.
32:06Never made me feel
32:07like I came second.
32:08Years passed.
32:10We had two children.
32:11Loud and wild
32:13and perfect.
32:14And the girl
32:15who had once laid
32:15in a field of bodies
32:17with her mother's blood
32:18on the moon shadow
32:18was finally
32:21home.
