Short filmTranscript
00:00I was the first female alpha in the history of the Silver Moon pack to earn the ultimate mark of
00:05honor.
00:06For 15 years, I bled for my people.
00:09Yet my mate called me cold.
00:10My pack called me a tyrant.
00:12Even my own parents and my little girl claimed they loved my adopted Omega sister, Leah, more than me.
00:18So, with only three days left to live, I made a choice.
00:21I would give them everything they ever wanted.
00:23I would hand over my entire life to the perfect woman they all adored.
00:27So why, after learning the truth, did they come back in tears and asking for another chance?
00:32I forced my broken body to stay upright, my eyes fixed on the pack territory beyond.
00:37Beneath my shirt, jagged, blackened veins crawled up my chest.
00:42The silver poison was inching closer to my heart.
00:45It was a parting gift from the rogue ambush on our borders.
00:48The High Priestess had made it painfully clear.
00:51Without the Moon Goddess's purification ritual, I had 78 hours left.
00:55Three days, at most.
00:57But when I dragged my bleeding, battered body to the High Priestess,
01:00I found my entire pack gathered around my adopted sister.
01:04They were fretting over a tiny, superficial silver scratch on her arm.
01:08Footsteps approached from behind.
01:09It was Cain.
01:11Are you alright?
01:11He wore that familiar look of impatient obligation.
01:14I'm fine.
01:16Elder Laurel said you urgently need the purification ritual, but...
01:21But Leah needs it more, right?
01:23You have to understand, Alice.
01:25Leah's barely hanging on.
01:26She's an Omega.
01:28You...
01:28You look fine.
01:31Leah.
01:31The stray I had begged my parents to adopt when I was 12.
01:34She was an Omega.
01:35Sweet, fragile, and desperate for protection.
01:37I had loved her like my own flesh and blood,
01:40never imagining she would strip me of everything I held dear.
01:42Of course I looked fine.
01:44No one knew that I was using every ounce of my Alpha aura
01:47to suppress the rotting agony inside me just so they wouldn't worry.
01:52I understand.
01:54Since the pack has already voted, let her have the ritual.
01:58I knew you'd see reason.
02:00You've changed lately.
02:01You're not fighting everything the way you used to.
02:03Stubborn, overbearing, I scoffed inwardly.
02:06Ever since Leah arrived, every sacrifice I made for the pack
02:09was twisted into Alpha arrogance and suppressing Omega females.
02:14That night, I dragged my failing body back to our pack house.
02:19Mother!
02:22Ella!
02:23Alice!
02:24You're back.
02:26Leah was lounging in my favorite armchair,
02:29draped in the silver fox plote I had gifted her,
02:32smiling like she owned the place.
02:34Ignoring the agonizing stabs in my chest,
02:37I walked into my private study
02:39and brought out an ancient carved wooden box.
02:42Leah, this is my grandmother's moon goddess amulet.
02:45I'm giving it to you.
02:47What?
02:48Sister!
02:49That's your most prized sacred relic!
02:52She was right.
02:53It was the heirloom of the silver moon bloodline.
02:57It's been passed down in my family for generations,
02:59but none of that mattered to me anymore.
03:02I'm also transferring my shares of Mother's Moonstone Mines to you.
03:06They're yours.
03:07Effective immediately.
03:08Sister!
03:09What are you talking about?
03:11Consider it an early mating gift.
03:13Shock flashed through Leah's eyes,
03:16but she quickly masked it with her usual innocent, clueless expression.
03:21I know everything.
03:22It's fine.
03:23You have my blessing.
03:25Cain walked into the room at that exact moment.
03:27He froze,
03:28looking tense when he saw us standing so close.
03:31What are you two talking about?
03:33Alice is giving me the moon goddess amulet,
03:35and her mind shares?
03:37Leah's eyes gleamed with cunning
03:38before filling with practiced tears.
03:42She's being far too generous.
03:44Alice, you...
03:44I'm exhausted.
03:46I'm going to bed.
03:50Ella, be a good girl and listen to Aunt Leah.
03:53Okay.
03:55Mama Leah, let's play another game.
03:58Mama Leah.
03:59The words felt like a silver blade plunging straight into my heart.
04:03I retreated to my bedroom and shut the door.
04:06Leaning against the wall,
04:07my legs finally gave out,
04:09and I collapsed to the floor.
04:10The silver poison was feasting on my life.
04:13Surrendering the purification ritual
04:14meant accelerating my own rotting death.
04:16Slowly, I began to pack up my things.
04:18My rare pelts, bone adornments,
04:20the raw moonstones.
04:22Soon, they would all belong to Leah.
04:24Two days left.
04:25I stared at the ghostly pale face reflecting in my mirror.
04:29Alice, if this is the end,
04:31then let them remember you as a perfect alpha.
04:35When I stepped out of my room,
04:37Ella's laughter drifted in from the yard.
04:40She was curled up in Leah's lap,
04:42the two of them watching the moon marg glow in the early light.
04:46Mama Leah, it's so pretty!
04:50It is.
04:52Almost as pretty as our Ella.
05:00When Ella saw me,
05:01her heartbeat skimmed over me for a heartbeat
05:03before she looked away again,
05:04turning back to the moss
05:06as if I were nothing but a stranger passing through.
05:10Good morning, Ella.
05:13Morning.
05:15Mama Leah, can we go to the creek
05:17and look for silver scale fish?
05:19Just a second, baby.
05:23Your mother might want to say something to you.
05:25I don't want to listen.
05:27Mother's always busy.
05:29She never plays with me.
05:32Something lodged hard in my throat.
05:35She wasn't wrong.
05:36For years, I had given everything to the pack.
05:39I had given her too little.
05:41Leah, on the other hand,
05:42always had time for her.
05:44It's okay.
05:45Go enjoy yourselves.
05:51I watched them run off hand in hand.
05:53The only thing that kept me upright
05:55was the tree beside me.
05:58Not just because agony was ripping through my body,
06:01because what was happening to my heart hurt even more.
06:04In the center of the territory,
06:07Kane was speaking in low voices
06:08with several pack members.
06:11The second they saw me coming,
06:13they broke apart and scattered.
06:15Kane glanced up at me without changing expression.
06:18You look awful.
06:19If you don't feel well, go lie down.
06:24I'm fine.
06:25I need to talk to you.
06:32About what?
06:33I slid the prepared contract across the table.
06:36I want to make some changes.
06:39Kane took one look at it.
06:41Alice,
06:41you're stepping down as Alpha?
06:43Yes.
06:44If something happens to me,
06:46I want Leah to inherit the position.
06:49What?
06:52Yes.
06:53If something happens to me,
06:55I want Leah to inherit the position.
06:58What?
06:59Kane's voice shook.
07:00His eyes dropped to the contract,
07:02then snapped back to me.
07:04You're giving her your grandmother's moon goddess amulet too?
07:07And your shares in the moonstone mine your mother left you?
07:09Alice,
07:10those are family holdings.
07:11They've been passed down for generations.
07:13She suits them better than I do.
07:15Call it my gift for your union.
07:19The air between us turned ice cold.
07:22Kane studied me carefully.
07:25Alice,
07:26what exactly are you trying to do?
07:28Nothing.
07:29I'm just tired.
07:30I want to move on.
07:31You knew?
07:33My parents can't even look me in the eye.
07:35The pack's been acting strange around me.
07:36You and Leah reek of each other,
07:38and my daughter calls her mama Leah.
07:39A bitter smile tugged at my lips.
07:41Kane,
07:42did you really think I didn't know?
07:45I don't blame either of you.
07:47This is on me too.
07:49I'm too controlling.
07:51Too hard.
07:52Too much of an alpha for anyone's comfort.
07:55Leah is soft.
07:56Gentle.
07:57Easy to love.
07:58She never pushes back.
08:00She fits you better.
08:02And this pack too.
08:03Alice!
08:05This afternoon,
08:06I'll go to Elder Laurel.
08:08I'll sever our mate bond
08:09and formally hand the succession to Leah.
08:11She'll be this pack's next leader.
08:14Have you lost your mind?
08:15Do you have any idea
08:16what you're throwing away?
08:17You spent 15 years fighting for it.
08:21I haven't lost my mind.
08:25Maybe this way everyone gets what they want.
08:28That afternoon,
08:30the council convened.
08:31The news spread like wildfire.
08:34Alpha Alice had formally severed her bond with Beta Cain.
08:38She'd then presented her Omega sister
08:40to the pack's Elder Council
08:41and renounced her claim as alpha.
08:44Alice, you can't be serious.
08:46I am.
08:46I pressed my ceremonial seal
08:48into the great alpha stone.
08:50My mark sank into the ancient granite,
08:52taking its place among the liniere of silver moon leaders.
08:55From this day forward,
08:58Leah's word on pack matters is law.
09:01A tremor of triumph ran through Leah,
09:04but she masked it beautifully,
09:06lowering her head in a show of perfect humility.
09:10Sister,
09:12I don't know what to say.
09:19You don't have to say anything.
09:21Just lead them well.
09:22It wasn't until we were on the path
09:24back to the pack house
09:26that she finally dropped the act.
09:28Alice,
09:29why are you really doing this?
09:33Because this is what you wanted, isn't it?
09:35My pack,
09:35my parents,
09:36my mate,
09:37even my own daughter.
09:39Leah, you've won.
09:40Sister,
09:41I just need one thing from you.
09:42Whatever this is between us,
09:44keep it away from Ella.
09:45She's just a child.
09:47Of course.
09:48You don't need to worry about her.
09:51I nodded once
09:52and said no more.
09:55I could have showed them the proof.
09:57I could have let the whole pack the snake
09:59she truly was.
10:01But if Leah was exiled
10:02or executed,
10:04Ella would lose two mothers
10:05in a single day.
10:07I would rather let her grow up
10:09loved by a lie
10:10than raised in the ruins
10:12of hatred and betrayal.
10:14That evening,
10:15I was packing up
10:16the last of my belongings
10:17when Elder Laurel
10:18entered my room.
10:19She was the old wolf
10:21who had watched me grow up.
10:22The only one
10:23who knew the entire truth.
10:25My child.
10:28Please burn them.
10:29Inside,
10:30the proof was undeniable.
10:32Leah's secret pact
10:33with the rogues.
10:33The plans for the silver attack
10:35that almost destroyed us.
10:37The faked prophecies
10:38she'd blasphemously claimed
10:39were from the moon goddess.
10:40And the letters,
10:41the ones that proved everything
10:42between her and Cain.
10:44But child,
10:45with this we could...
10:46Ella still needs a mother.
10:52Even if that mother isn't me.
10:56On the morning of my last day,
10:58I could barely move.
11:00The poison had seeped
11:01from my heart
11:02into every cell.
11:04A thousand tiny ants
11:05chewing away at me
11:06with every breath.
11:10I stared at my reflection
11:12in the mirror.
11:13Pale, gaunt.
11:15The sharp, fiery light
11:17in my eyes
11:18had burned out,
11:19leaving nothing
11:20but dull embers.
11:2324 hours left.
11:25Today was the day of Cain
11:27and Leah's mating ceremony.
11:29Leah was there
11:30directing the other wolves.
11:33Alice.
11:33I turned.
11:35In my mother's hands
11:36was the moonstone crown,
11:37the ancestral relic
11:38meant to be passed down to me.
11:40I'm so proud of you, Alice.
11:41We are relieved, Alice.
11:42For years,
11:43you've led with force first
11:44and everything else second.
11:45Yeah, Leah brings calm
11:46where you bring pressure.
11:47Stepping aside
11:47may be this truly selfless thing
11:49you've done for this path.
11:50I turned and walked away
11:51before they could say
11:52another word.
11:53The ceremony began
11:54as the full moon rose,
11:55with the entire pack
11:56gathered around it.
11:57Their alpha
11:58showing up
11:58at the mating ceremony
11:59of her former mate
12:00and the one he had chosen instead.
12:02You actually came.
12:03I said I would.
12:04Congratulations to both of you.
12:06Alice.
12:11Sister,
12:11thank you for coming.
12:12Thank you all
12:13for coming tonight
12:14to witness my mating ceremony
12:15with Leah.
12:15And most of all,
12:16I want to thank Alice
12:17for making this union possible
12:18and for her blessing.
12:20I also want to thank
12:22my sister, Alice.
12:23She gave me everything.
12:24A family,
12:25her kindness,
12:26and now,
12:27her mate.
12:28I'm the luckiest she-wolf alive.
12:30I watched them
12:31cling to each other
12:31at the altar
12:32and felt absolutely
12:33nothing but cold.
12:35Mother.
12:37Mama Leah sent me
12:38to tell you.
12:39It's time to exchange
12:40the mating tokens.
12:42Thank you for telling me.
12:44Mama Leah wants you
12:44to stay in the back.
12:46She said you'll ruin
12:47her special day.
12:48Ella.
12:52I want to tell you.
12:53I don't want to hear it!
12:54You ruin everything!
12:56Mama Leah gets sad
12:57because of you!
12:58I hate you!
12:58Mama!
12:59Mama Leah!
13:01Look at her.
13:02Even her own pups
13:03can't stand to breathe her air.
13:05Don't blame the kid.
13:05Alice brings the ice.
13:07Leah actually mothers her.
13:08I hate you.
13:09My flesh and blood.
13:10The pup I had carried for months.
13:12The pup I had nearly died
13:14to bring into this world.
13:15And she hated me.
13:16I stood in the middle
13:17of my own pack.
13:18Nothing but a ghost
13:19crashing a party.
13:21My mate.
13:21My daughter.
13:22My pack.
13:23They all belong to Leah now.
13:24I was the one
13:25who didn't belong.
13:26The moon goddess herself
13:27must be weeping
13:28at such a beautiful bond.
13:29Look how much
13:30Ella and the pack
13:31adore Leah.
13:32Your mother is right.
13:32The pack isn't blind, Alice.
13:34They chose Leah
13:34because she is simply
13:35better suited.
13:36In their eyes,
13:37I had never been right.
13:39I never would be.
13:40When the ceremony ended,
13:42I walked away.
13:44No one noticed.
13:46They were all too busy
13:47farnding over the happy couple.
13:49Back at my room,
13:51Elder Laurel
13:51was waiting for me.
13:53Do me a favor.
13:55Anything, Alpha.
13:56There are recordings in here.
13:59Tomorrow,
14:00when the moon rises,
14:01play it for the entire pack.
14:03Is this...
14:04My last words.
14:06The pack deserves to hear them.
14:08This one is for my parents,
14:10and this one is for Ella.
14:12Give it to her
14:12when she comes of age.
14:15Child.
14:17One last thing.
14:18This is the true Alpha signet,
14:20the real symbol of our bloodline.
14:22Keep it safe for Ella.
14:23Tell her.
14:23Tell her mummy will always love her.
14:25With everything arranged,
14:26I slumped back in my chair.
14:28I had nothing left to give.
14:29In the distance,
14:30the pack howled into the night,
14:32blessing Cain and Leah's union.
14:33When the sun rose,
14:35everything would shatter.
14:36Good night, my pack.
14:37I hope you remember
14:38for the rest of your lives
14:39that I loved you all more
14:40than I should have.
14:41As the moon slipped
14:42below the horizon,
14:44Alice's heart beat its last.
14:46Elder Label sank to her knees,
14:48tears streaming down her face.
14:49She pressed a gentle kiss
14:51to Alice's cooling hand.
14:52At dawn,
14:53Elder Laurel stood alone
14:54at the altar.
14:55To the altar.
14:56Now.
14:57The Elder's voice
14:58echoed through the pack link,
15:00jarring every woof
15:01from their sleep.
15:03What is it, Elder?
15:04It's barely sunrise.
15:05Alpha Alice is dead.
15:08Impossible.
15:08She was at the ceremony last night.
15:09The silver poison claimed her.
15:11Our Alpha died hours ago.
15:12What?
15:13This is no time for jokes.
15:14She was perfectly fine.
15:15Cain,
15:16she has been gone for hours.
15:18No.
15:19This has to be another one of her moves.
15:21Leah warned me
15:22she was faking her illness lately.
15:24Faking it.
15:25Then perhaps you should see this.
15:29Silverleaf,
15:30a fatal dose.
15:32She's been taking this amount daily
15:33for the last three days.
15:35What?
15:35Just so none of you
15:36would see her suffer.
15:38She...
15:38Three days ago,
15:40the High Priestess told her
15:41she had three days to live.
15:43The only chance
15:44of a purification ritual
15:45that could help
15:47was the one
15:48you gave to Leah.
15:52At that same moment,
15:53deep within the pack's territory,
15:55the Elder's voice
15:56broke into Alice's parents' minds.
15:59What?
16:01Alice surrendered her claim
16:02to the Moonstone Mines?
16:03Laurel, are you certain?
16:05Those are the richest mines
16:06in our territory.
16:07She signed the contract herself.
16:09Just before the ceremony,
16:11she transferred all rights
16:12to Leah.
16:16Impossible.
16:17Alice loved her sister,
16:19but she would never give away
16:20her birthright.
16:21It's not just the mines.
16:22She abdicated her alpha title.
16:24She even returned
16:25the Moon Goddess amulet
16:27you gifted her.
16:28What?
16:29It is done.
16:30A legal contract.
16:32Sealed by a blood oath.
16:34What in the goddess name
16:36was that child thinking?
16:38She seemed so calm last night.
16:41This is wrong.
16:42Alice would never be
16:44this impulsive.
16:45Why give everything to Leah?
16:47It's not like her.
16:49Do you think
16:50seeing Cain and Leah
16:52mated,
16:52maybe it pushed her
16:54over the edge?
16:55Find her.
16:56I tried.
16:58The house is empty.
16:58She left alone
16:59after the ceremony.
17:00I was going to talk
17:02to her today.
17:02Tell her not to be
17:03too heartbroken.
17:04You have the gall
17:05to say that now?
17:06You were always praising Leah,
17:08always calling Alice
17:09too aggressive,
17:10too strong.
17:11Well, here you are.
17:12Alice gave her everything.
17:14Are you satisfied now?
17:15How was I supposed
17:16to know she'd do this?
17:18I felt sorry for Leah,
17:19but Alice is my daughter,
17:21my own flesh and blood.
17:25What good is saying that now?
17:27We have to find her.
17:28They began a frantic search.
17:30They checked the border patrols,
17:32the council chambers,
17:34Alice's favorite sacred tree.
17:35The answer was the same everywhere.
17:39Goodbye.
17:40Don't say such things.
17:41It's the truth.
17:42She came by two days ago,
17:44marked every single weak point
17:45in our defenses
17:46and on the map.
17:46She gave specific instructions
17:48and she said
17:50she was going
17:51to the moon goddess.
17:53Alice.
17:54Oh, Alice, no.
17:55She gave everything to Leah.
17:58Could it be?
17:58Don't be ridiculous.
18:00Let's go to Cain's.
18:01She was just there
18:02last night, maybe.
18:03Cain rushed to Alice's room.
18:04The moment his fingers
18:05brushed against her
18:06ice-cold skin,
18:07he recoiled as if burned.
18:09I didn't know.
18:10Why didn't she say anything?
18:11And if she had,
18:12would you have given
18:13the chance of a
18:14purication ritual back?
18:16I, if I had known,
18:17I would have...
18:18Enough.
18:19She's dead.
18:20What's the point of this now?
18:23She chose silence.
18:25She always did.
18:26She was sick
18:27and still said nothing.
18:28Cain,
18:29the Alpha is gone
18:30and still you speak
18:31of her that way?
18:32It's just reality.
18:34She always had to be
18:35the strong one,
18:35always fighting,
18:36always in control.
18:37This is the price she paid.
18:39Leah, don't blame yourself.
18:40This has nothing to do with you.
18:43I don't want to hear it.
18:44Alice made her own choice.
18:46No one else is to blame.
18:47We need to
18:48arrange the funeral.
18:50Have her parents been notified?
18:51The Alpha's last wish
18:52was not to tell them.
18:53What?
18:54She said they looked
18:55happy last night.
18:56She didn't want
18:57to ruin their mood.
18:59Cain was silent
18:59for a moment.
19:00Fine.
19:01We'll tell them later.
19:03Leah,
19:04go get some rest.
19:05I'll handle this.
19:06Cain,
19:07I'm so scared.
19:11I'm here.
19:12I've got you.
19:16Cain,
19:17over the last three days,
19:19the Alpha signed
19:19over all her assets
19:20to Leah.
19:21Her Alpha title,
19:22the Moonstone Mines,
19:24the Moon Goddess Amulant,
19:26everything.
19:27Good.
19:28That saves us
19:28a lot of trouble.
19:30I will see
19:31to the funeral arrangements.
19:36As no one wept
19:37for the Alpha,
19:38this was her final
19:39tragic truth.
19:41On the path,
19:42Alice's mother
19:43reached for her daughter
19:44through the pack link.
19:45She was met
19:46with a wall
19:46of absolute silence.
19:48Still nothing.
19:49Alice would never
19:50ignore me.
19:50Stay calm.
19:54I'll link Cain.
19:55The reply came
19:56almost instantly.
19:58Charles?
19:59Cain,
20:00is Alice with you?
20:02We can't feel her.
20:03The Elder said
20:04she signed everything
20:05to Leah.
20:06We're worried
20:07she might have...
20:08A few seconds
20:09of static.
20:10Where are you now?
20:12On our way
20:13to your place.
20:14Cain,
20:15is she there?
20:16Is she alright?
20:17You should
20:17just come
20:18quickly.
20:20What happened?
20:21Did something
20:22happen to Alice?
20:23Answer me!
20:24You'll see
20:25when you get here.
20:26Just come!
20:27Move!
20:28Something's wrong!
20:29My daughter!
20:30Thirty minutes later,
20:32they skidded to a halt
20:33before Cain's place.
20:34No.
20:35It can't be.
20:37They stumbled inside.
20:38In the main hall,
20:39Leah sat in a chair,
20:40her eyes red and swollen.
20:42Cain stood by the window,
20:44his back to them.
20:45Alice?
20:46Where is my daughter?
20:50Charles?
20:51Linda?
20:51Where is she?
20:53Tell us!
20:54In here.
20:55Please,
20:56accept my condolences.
20:58Condolences?
20:59What do you mean
21:00condolences?
21:02The door to the bedroom
21:04was open.
21:04Alice was lying
21:05peacefully on the bed.
21:07No!
21:08Alice!
21:09My baby!
21:11Wake up!
21:11Mom's here!
21:13Alice.
21:14How?
21:15You were fine
21:16last night?
21:16I was wrong.
21:19Everything I said,
21:20I was wrong.
21:21Please wake up
21:22and I'll make it right.
21:22I swear it.
21:23What happened?
21:24How could she just...
21:25It was the silver poison
21:26from the rogue attack.
21:27She passed this morning.
21:29Silver poison?
21:29Three days ago,
21:30the high priestess told her
21:31she had 72 hours to live
21:32without the purification ritual.
21:34But the chance
21:35was given to Leah.
21:37It wasn't like that.
21:37I was...
21:37I really was.
21:38I was so sick.
21:39These are the alpha's last words.
21:41Elder Laurel cut her off,
21:43holding out two sealed letters.
21:44The only sounds left
21:45were the rustle of parchment
21:46and the shattering of hearts.
21:48Cain's hands trembled
21:49as he read.
21:50The letter detailed everything.
21:53Devastating choices.
21:54The lonely thoughts
21:55that filled her last three days.
21:56My poor, brave daughter.
21:58Elder Laurel stepped forward,
22:00holding a memory crystal.
22:01She infused it with moonlight,
22:03Cain,
22:03pack members,
22:04all of them,
22:05giving the last purification chance
22:06to Leah without a moment's hesitation.
22:09Then,
22:09another memory played.
22:11The plan is working perfectly.
22:12Alice is almost dead.
22:13Soon,
22:14this pathetic pack will be ours.
22:15I've played the weak,
22:16helpless sister for so long.
22:17It's almost boring.
22:17These fools would believe anything I say.
22:19No, it's fake!
22:20It's all forged!
22:21No one moved,
22:22no one listened.
22:22She activated a communication stone.
22:24Their voices,
22:25Leah's and Darian's,
22:26filled the hall.
22:26Every recorded word,
22:27a confession of treason.
22:29Then came the medical reports
22:30from the high priestess.
22:31Forged documents detailing
22:32Leah's fake silver poisoning,
22:34followed by secret letters,
22:35written in Leah's own hand,
22:36plotting every step of the betrayal
22:38and the final blow.
22:39Transaction logs,
22:40proof that pack silver
22:41had been paid
22:41to the very rogues
22:42who murdered Alice.
22:44The truth crashed down the moon,
22:45an avalanche of deceit.
22:46You,
22:47you killed her!
22:48KILLED HER!
22:49Daddy?
22:50A small voice made everyone freeze.
22:52What's happening?
22:53Why are you on the floor?
22:55No one answered her.
22:56Where's mother?
22:57Where did she go this time?
22:58Ella.
22:59She's not here again?
23:00Mama Leah,
23:01can we go play by the creek?
23:02Little one,
23:03your mother,
23:04she's gone to be with the moon goddess.
23:05Oh,
23:06when is she coming back?
23:07She,
23:07she isn't sweetie.
23:08I was always mean to Mama Leah anyway.
23:10Ella!
23:10Mama Leah,
23:11can we go now?
23:11But Leah was already being hauled
23:13to her feet by the pack guards.
23:14Mommy Leah?
23:15Where are you?
23:16Don't go!
23:16Mama Leah!
23:17She completely ignored the mother
23:19who would never wake again.
23:20Why are they taking her?
23:21Did Mother do this?
23:22She always wants Mama Leah gone.
23:23No,
23:23Ella,
23:24that's not it.
23:24Yes,
23:24it is!
23:25I hate her!
23:25I hate Mother!
23:26Even now,
23:27with Alice gone from this world,
23:29these were the words
23:29her own daughter screamed.
23:32Alice had known this would happen.
23:34With her own life,
23:35she had carved an eternal wound
23:37into all of them,
23:38and the most tragic part of it all,
23:40her five-year-old daughter
23:42was screaming for her betrayer,
23:44with no idea she had just lost
23:45a mother who loved her
23:46more than life itself.
23:48With Leah gone,
23:49the silence in the silver moon pack
23:51was a physical weight,
23:53suffocating.
23:54Cain,
23:56the death tenders are here.
23:58No!
23:59Don't take her!
24:00But he knew it was useless.
24:01Alice was gone.
24:02Outside,
24:03every document
24:04was another twist of the knife
24:05in their hearts.
24:06Just ate.
24:06Her finger trembling
24:07on a healer's log.
24:08It was for Alice's birthday.
24:10She told her she was wounded in a...
24:11We never thought to ask again.
24:13That was the day
24:13Leah claimed a sudden illness.
24:15You were both attending to her.
24:16The alpha didn't want to burden you.
24:19What have we got us?
24:20What have we done?
24:24Alice changed her will three days.
24:25If Leah was ever found guilty
24:27over the will would be voided.
24:28But what?
24:28All assets would be automatically
24:29transferred to the pack's
24:31orphaned pup fund.
24:32Cain stared,
24:32the gears turning in his shattered mind.
24:34For pups who have lost their parents,
24:36Leah would get nothing.
24:37She had known.
24:38Alice had foreseen all of it.
24:39She had used her own death
24:40to spring one final
24:41inescapable trap.
24:42There is also this
24:43for Ella
24:44to be opened
24:45when she comes of age
24:46and a trust
24:47tied to the moonstone mine
24:48that she cannot access
24:49until then.
24:50Mama Leah,
24:50I want my mama Leah.
24:52The five-year-old pup
24:53was still grieving
24:54for her mother's betrayer.
24:56The truth spread
24:56through the pack link
24:57like a sickness.
24:58The official report
24:59from the Silver Moonpacks
25:00investigators confirmed
25:01their worst fears.
25:03Alice had willingly ingested
25:04an overdose of silver leaf.
25:05It wasn't a tragedy.
25:06It was a weapon,
25:07a calculated final act of revenge.
25:09She hadn't just colluded
25:10with rogues.
25:11She had secretly recorded
25:12her family's every unfair accusation
25:13against Alice.
25:14A venomous snake in our midst.
25:16She's been planning this
25:16since she was a pup.
25:17The funeral was held
25:18three days later.
25:19Delegations from every
25:20allies pack arrived
25:21to pay their respects.
25:22They didn't just mourn an alpha.
25:23They mourned the leader
25:24who had held their borders
25:25for 15 years.
25:26The wolf who walked
25:26into her own death
25:27with her head held hard.
25:28Kane stood before her remains
25:29in a black cloak.
25:31When is Mama Leah coming back?
25:33Ella, this is for your mom.
25:35She's-
25:35I know,
25:36but I want Mama Leah.
25:37A ripple of shared pain
25:38and pity moved
25:39through the crowd.
25:40The child,
25:41Leah's poison
25:41would seeped deep
25:42into her heart.
25:43My daughter!
25:44I was wrong!
25:45I'm so sorry!
25:46I'm so sorry, baby!
25:48No amount of tears
25:49could pull back
25:49a soul already given to the moon.
25:51After the ceremony,
25:52Elder Laurel
25:52ended Alice's last wish.
25:54Her ashes were low to rest
25:55on a hero that faced
25:56the city moon.
25:57Her gravestone was simple,
25:58patched with only
25:59a few powerful words.
26:00A month passed.
26:02Every morning,
26:02Kane made the pilgrimage
26:03to Alice's grave.
26:04Daddy,
26:05why do we always
26:06have to come here?
26:07Because the person
26:08who loved you most
26:09is resting here.
26:10But she never played with me.
26:12Mama Leah said
26:12the people who really love you
26:14always stay with you.
26:15The words were a fresh wound.
26:16How could he explain
26:17to a five-year-old
26:18that the wolf who stayed
26:19was a monster?
26:20Leah's sentence was exile.
26:21At her trial,
26:22she tried to claim
26:23Alice had framed her.
26:25Alice's parents sold
26:26everything they owned
26:26and moved to the far south.
26:28They couldn't bear to stay
26:29where every shadow
26:30held a memory
26:30of the daughter
26:31they had failed.
26:32Before they left,
26:33her mother stood
26:34before the grave,
26:34pressing her forehead
26:35to the cold stone.
26:36I promise,
26:37I will only love you.
26:39Only you.
26:40The moonstone mind shares
26:41were distributed
26:42according to Alice's will,
26:43a portion for every
26:44member of the pack.
26:45During the ceremony,
26:45one piece of moonstone
26:46was set aside.
26:47It was one Alice
26:48had carved herself.
26:49Five years passed.
26:51Ella, now ten.
26:52Daddy,
26:53why don't I remember mummy?
26:55Your mother,
26:55she was a very busy
26:56alpha, sweetheart.
26:58Oh,
26:58then why is she
26:59always smiling at me?
27:00Because she loved you
27:01more than anything.
27:02But Mama Lea said,
27:04That night,
27:05Ella dreamed of a she-wolf
27:07with a kind face.
27:08The wolf whispered
27:09in her ear,
27:10Mummy loves you,
27:11always.
27:14She woke to a tear-soaked pillow.
27:17On the day she came of age,
27:19the pack elder
27:20gave her the letter.
27:21It spoke of the overwhelming joy
27:22Alice felt the moment
27:23Ella was born,
27:24of the fierce pride
27:25she had hearing her daughter's
27:26first tiny howl,
27:27of a hundred small warm moments
27:29that Lea's poison
27:30had stolen from her memory.
27:31The last lines
27:32shattered her.
27:33My dearest Ella,
27:34by the time you read this,
27:35I will be long gone.
27:37I don't know
27:37if you will remember me,
27:39or if you will hate me,
27:41but I need you to know
27:43that there was never
27:43a moment I didn't love you.
27:45Everything I did,
27:46I did to give you
27:47a better life.
27:48Forgive me for being selfish
27:49enough to leave you this way.
27:51If there had been
27:51any other choice,
27:52I would have burned
27:53the world down
27:53to watch you grow up.
27:55Love,
27:55your mummy.
27:56Ella cried
27:57until the sun rose.
27:58The next day,
27:59she went to the grave.
28:00I'm sorry mummy,
28:01I'm so, so sorry.
28:02But some words
28:03come too late,
28:04and some love
28:04is only understood
28:05once it is lost forever.
28:06In the end,
28:07everyone got what they wanted.
28:08The pack got the perfect
28:09obedient alpha
28:10they they craved,
28:11and Annelie got her peace.
28:12The only cost was her life.
28:14Two decades had passed.
28:16At 25,
28:17she was the youngest alpha
28:18in the pack's long history.
28:20The moonfall ceremony
28:22is about to begin.
28:23It was the most sacred
28:24ritual of the year,
28:25honouring the ancestors
28:26who had bled
28:26for their land.
28:28They say you are
28:29just like her.
28:31Your mother.
28:32Do you believe
28:32that to be true?
28:34I can never be her.
28:35Why?
28:36Because in 29 years,
28:37she taught this pack
28:39the meaning of sacrifice.
28:40And it took me 18 years
28:42just to learn
28:42the meaning of regret.
28:43After the ceremony,
28:45Ella walked alone
28:45to the gravesite on the hill.
28:47It was the anniversary.
28:48She came every year.
28:49The grave was already
28:50blanketed in moonflowers
28:52from Cain,
28:52from the pack
28:53and from strangers.
28:54Over the years,
28:55the orphaned pop fund
28:56Alice established
28:56had saved countless lives.
28:59Hey, Mom.
29:00I'm back.
29:01The pack is strong.
29:03You would be proud.
29:04We're an example
29:04for the other territories now,
29:06just like you wanted.
29:06Father,
29:07he never took another mate.
29:09He says his one great betrayal
29:11was enough for a lifetime.
29:12He won't dishonour
29:13your memory with another.
29:14Grandma and Grandpa
29:14passed away in the South.
29:15Their last message
29:16was for you,
29:17that they always loved you.
29:18They just understood too late.
29:20And Leah,
29:20Ella's voice dropped.
29:22Her mind finally shattered
29:23under the weight
29:23of her own venom.
29:24That is her penance.
29:25The hillside was silent,
29:26a sanctuary of memory.
29:28Mom,
29:28my biggest regret,
29:30it's still those words,
29:31I hate you.
29:32I've spent 20 years
29:33trying to take them back.
29:34Every time I see your face
29:35in my memory,
29:35that last look,
29:36I would tear the world of pups
29:37to go back to that moment.
29:38Elder Laurel said
29:38you tried to mind-link me
29:39at the end.
29:39What were you trying to say?
29:40Was it I love you
29:41or be a good pup?
29:42I'll never know.
29:43She pulled a small silver locket
29:44from under her tunic,
29:45inside,
29:46protected by glass.
29:46It's the most precious thing I own.
29:49She stared at it,
29:50lost in the endless maze
29:51of what-ifs.
29:51What if she hadn't listened?
29:52What if she had seen the truth
29:53in her mother's eyes?
29:54What if she had just said,
29:56I love you too?
29:57Far below,
29:57Cain's silhouette appeared
29:58at the bottom of the hill.
29:59She's been up there a long time.
30:01Let her.
30:01He dreamt.
30:02This is her time with Alice.
30:03You are not going up?
30:04No.
30:05I don't have the right
30:06to stand before her grave, her.
30:07Every night,
30:07he dreamed of Alice,
30:08dreamed that she was alive,
30:09and every morning,
30:10he woke up to the same
30:11unforgiving truth.
30:12Do I know you?
30:13My name is Moon Shadow
30:14from the Northern Pack.
30:15Ten years ago,
30:16the Silver Moon Pup Fund
30:17saved me after my parents
30:18were killed.
30:19Your pack raised me.
30:20I came to thank your mother.
30:21She's always listening.
30:22Alpha Alice,
30:23thank you.
30:23Because of you,
30:24I'm alive.
30:24Because of you,
30:25I will watch my own pups grow.
30:26Ella had seen it so many times.
30:28Every wolf saved by the fund
30:29knew her mother's name.
30:31Her mother's death
30:31hadn't just purchased their regret.
30:33It had purchased a future
30:34for generations.
30:35Mom,
30:36you once asked
30:37if we would remember you.
30:38The answer is yes.
30:39Every single day,
30:40for the rest of our lives.
30:41Ella unfolded the letters,
30:42the ones her mother
30:44had left her.
30:44My darling Ella,
30:45you called Leah Mama
30:46again today.
30:47It broke my heart,
30:48but I don't blame you.
30:49You are too small
30:50to know the truth
30:51from a lie.
30:51I never blamed you,
30:52not for a single second,
30:54because loving you
30:55was the greatest happiness
30:56of my life.
30:56On the back of the final page,
30:58a few words were scrawled
30:59in a rushed,
31:00shaky hand.
31:01If there is a next life,
31:02I still want to be your mother.
31:04Below the hill,
31:04the Silver Moon Pack thrived.
31:06Life went on,
31:07but in the heart of every wolf,
31:08there remained a permanent
31:09hollow space,
31:10a space named Alice.
31:11Moonlight bathed to the headstone,
31:13a silver, silent benediction.
31:15Perhaps she was saying,
31:16I forgive you.
31:17I will always love you,
31:18because love had never left at all.
