Transcript

00:00:04The Great Hall of Black Claw Castle was packed shoulder to shoulder.

00:00:09Nobles and warriors alike crowding the marble floor to witness the fall of their Alpha's mate.

00:00:14And I was the one on display.

00:00:16I gave you airs.

00:00:17My voice was steady, but I was breaking.

00:00:19You can't throw me away like I mean nothing.

00:00:22I'm your mate!

00:00:23No, Elena.

00:00:25You're nothing.

00:00:30Lyle pulled Rowena closer, another Omega, safe in his arms, while I could only watch.

00:00:36My fists clenched as memories flooded me.

00:00:38You chose me!

00:00:41Five years ago, the auction house reeked of sweat and fear.

00:00:45Rows of cages lined beneath flickering torchlight where Omegas were paraded like livestock before the highest bidder.

00:00:51Rough hands tore me from my glass cage.

00:00:53The guards pushed me into line with the other Omegas.

00:00:57I blinked beneath the bright lights while the bidders all gossiped.

00:01:01That one looks expensive.

00:01:03She'll breed fine pups.

00:01:05The blight that had left most female wolves barren in Black Claw meant only Omegas could breed.

00:01:11I'd never dreamed the Black Claw Alpha would take me as his own.

00:01:16I knelt beside the other Omegas.

00:01:19Lyle Black Claw paced the row.

00:01:21His transparent wolf hovered behind him.

00:01:25We all knew the beast would have the final say.

00:01:29And I was the one they both chose.

00:01:31This one.

00:01:34The starting price for that one, my Alpha, is a million gold coins.

00:01:39The other bidders gasped.

00:01:40Nobody else dared to bid.

00:01:42Alpha Leiden's gaze burned deep into my soul.

00:01:47His wolf released a low howl.

00:01:49The crimson thread of the mate bond erupted from our fingertips and braided into the tight cord meant to bind

00:01:55us together.

00:01:56For eternity.

00:01:57The auctioneer slammed down his gavern.

00:02:00Shimmering gold coins cascaded from the sky.

00:02:04Salt!

00:02:04The servants rushed with wheelbarrows to haul away the pile of coins.

00:02:09Alpha Leiden helped me to my feet.

00:02:12He lifted my chin.

00:02:14I dared risk a smile.

00:02:16The moon goddess has blessed us.

00:02:17His low growl promised a lifetime of blessings.

00:02:20Every single one of them.

00:02:21Nothing but a lie.

00:02:24The great hall of Black Claw Castle.

00:02:27You can't break the mate bond, Lyle.

00:02:30As Alpha of this pack, I do as I please.

00:02:39Rowena simpered.

00:02:41Diamonds glittered around her neck.

00:02:43But love cannot be measured in diamonds.

00:02:45Not even in words.

00:02:47It can only be measured in actions.

00:02:50Lyle addressed the crowd of nobles.

00:02:52Alina Omega is no longer my mate.

00:02:56Instead, I take.

00:02:59He kissed Rowena.

00:03:01I covered my mouth.

00:03:03Eyes wide with grief.

00:03:04Everyone watched.

00:03:06Waiting for me to shatter.

00:03:07I forced my hand down.

00:03:09Rowena Omega is my new mate.

00:03:16Lyle walked to stand a few inches from me.

00:03:19Your body provided me with five fine children.

00:03:21I've no more need for you.

00:03:23As the mother of my heirs, you'll be permitted to remain in the Black Claw pack.

00:03:28But...

00:03:29His eyes blazed icy blue.

00:03:31You're no longer my mate.

00:03:33Crimson cords entwined from our fingertips, but instantly snapped apart.

00:03:37I staggered.

00:03:39My hand gripped my heart.

00:03:41Lyle turned his back, unmoved by my pain.

00:03:44But...

00:03:44My uncle has no mate.

00:03:46I'm giving you to him.

00:03:47His uncle?

00:03:48Finn Blackclaw?

00:03:50He is the true Lycan king.

00:03:52The most feared warrior.

00:03:54And the war god the Seven Territories once knelt to.

00:03:57That was before.

00:03:58When he vanished on the battlefield, Alpha Lyle took up the Pax throne in his stead.

00:04:03The goddess above.

00:04:05Did our Alpha really just hand her off to a man who'd vanished off the battlefield?

00:04:09And what of her five children?

00:04:11Poor little things.

00:04:13Motherless in all but blood.

00:04:15Fatherless in all but name.

00:04:17Every word landed like a stone.

00:04:19I grabbed Lyle's sleeve to stop him.

00:04:22He yanked free with Alpha strength.

00:04:24His blazing blue gaze pierced me to the core.

00:04:27But I didn't let go.

00:04:29Lyle.

00:04:30Finn Blackclaw disappeared in battle five years ago.

00:04:33His sneer of disgust broke me harder.

00:04:35He'd forgotten the nights of pleasure we shared.

00:04:37But I never would.

00:04:40Then you'll have the manor house to yourself.

00:04:42He returned to his new mate.

00:04:45I pictured Finn Blackclorn.

00:04:47Hair black as night.

00:04:48Amber eyes.

00:04:50He'd been watching me the day Lyle bought me at the auction.

00:04:53Never looking away.

00:04:54And then he disappeared.

00:04:57Finn Blackcloth had paced the rows of glass cages in the Omega auction.

00:05:01His gray wolf loomed behind him.

00:05:04He studied me for hours.

00:05:06Never speaking.

00:05:08I trembled at the orange blaze in his eyes.

00:05:11I thought he'd bid on me.

00:05:12But after Lyle bought me, Finn disappeared.

00:05:16Rumors said he'd been slaughtered in battle.

00:05:19Rowena glared as I addressed Lyle in a hard, clear voice.

00:05:23If I'm to be tossed aside like trash.

00:05:26I demand our bond be stricken from the Blacklog register.

00:05:29Nobles murmured.

00:05:31The Elder stepped forward.

00:05:34Magic sparkled from her fingertip as a massive book appeared.

00:05:38Pages flipped to reveal our names in glimmering script.

00:05:50Alpha Lyot.

00:05:51You've broken the bond with Elena Omega.

00:05:54Your names will be stricken from the register, as demanded by the Moon Goddess for those who deny her blessings.

00:05:59It can never be restored.

00:06:02Lyot looked deeply into Rowena's eyes.

00:06:04Without even looking at me, Lyot barked out.

00:06:07Sever it, old woman.

00:06:08The gathered nobles gasped in shock.

00:06:10The Elder mimicked tearing the pages from the book.

00:06:13Hanging in the air, the letters of my name burned.

00:06:15As each letter turned to ash, I jerked with fresh agonies.

00:06:19I went to my knees, headbound.

00:06:21It is done!

00:06:22A vision appeared of my weeping four-year-old Kintelitz.

00:06:26Benjamin, Edward, Alexander, Sebastian, and Nita Seraphina.

00:06:31Their eyes blazed the same as their father's.

00:06:34My name again.

00:06:35But this time, I was joined with Finn.

00:06:38It's done.

00:06:39When our Lycan king returns from the war, the mating shall be completed.

00:06:43Hushed voices murmured.

00:06:44I staggered upright.

00:06:46Tears streaked my cheeks.

00:06:47The book vanished in a flash of crimson and gold sparks.

00:06:50Lyot's wolf appeared with a mournful howl.

00:06:54Lyot's face twisted with a sudden realization.

00:06:57He gave me away.

00:06:58He could never get me back.

00:07:00In the morning, servants tossed my belongings into the courtyard.

00:07:04A lifetime, thrown away like trash.

00:07:06Once I'd been their beloved Alpha's mate.

00:07:08Now, I was nothing.

00:07:10They wouldn't even meet my eyes.

00:07:12Like their Alpha, they had a new mistress now.

00:07:14I'd planted medicinal herbs so I could take care of my five children and their father.

00:07:18And Rowena ordered every single plant torn up by its roots.

00:07:21Rip it all out.

00:07:23It's ugly.

00:07:23She watched with a cruel smile as my entire world was destroyed.

00:07:27My weeping children clung to me.

00:07:29They were being ripped away from the only home they'd ever known.

00:07:32Torn up by their roots.

00:07:34Just like my garden.

00:07:35Rowena's cold gaze fell upon the wooden toy Lyot had carved when the Cantuplets were born.

00:07:41The small wolf posed with its nose pointed to the air, howlowing.

00:07:45She picked it up with a snarl of disgust.

00:07:49Get rid of all this trash.

00:07:51She shattered the toy to splinters on the ground.

00:07:54My children wailed.

00:07:56I gathered them close.

00:07:57They were my entire life.

00:07:59Rowena.

00:08:00Rowena sneered at me.

00:08:02Enjoy the life you've stolen.

00:08:03I held my children close and jextured with a hand.

00:08:06I refused to be ashamed.

00:08:08Everything worth having will never be yours, Rowena.

00:08:11As night fell, I found myself outside the packhouse gates.

00:08:15The townsfolk who once threw flowers to celebrate the birth of the Alpha's heirs now gathered to whisper and gossip.

00:08:22Nobody offered to help us.

00:08:23Where will she go?

00:08:25Five children at this time of night?

00:08:28Who will take her in?

00:08:31Mama?

00:08:31The firstborn Quintipets, Benjamin, tugged my skirts.

00:08:35I'm sleepy.

00:08:37In my arms, Selafina whimpered, too tired to even lift her head from my shoulder.

00:08:43Suddenly, the blare of a warhorn echoed through the town's stone streets.

00:08:49Elite warriors on black warhorses galloped toward us.

00:08:54The captain dismounted and strode towards me.

00:08:57I gasped when the captain bowed in front of me.

00:09:01Rowena Omega, I've been sent to bring you home.

00:09:04He stepped aside to show the carriage waiting.

00:09:06Black as midnight, emblessed with the ancient runes of Blackclaw Pack.

00:09:12At Lycan King's estate, vines with thorns the size of my arm twisted through the closed iron gates.

00:09:18No lights welcomed us from the manor house.

00:09:20But when I stepped out of the carriage, the gates swung open.

00:09:24The thorns became blooming crimson roses.

00:09:27In the courtyard, dusty fountains spouted clear water.

00:09:31My children's eyes grew wide as they followed me to the manor house.

00:09:36A woman with a kind face invited us inside.

00:09:40The estate knows its true mistress has come home.

00:09:43It has never responded to anyone this way before.

00:09:46I gazed in awe at the beautiful home.

00:09:48Through a doorway, I saw a room with walls of books, maps, and military banners.

00:09:54Curiously, I stepped inside.

00:09:55I gasped at the enormous portrait of me and my kids hanging over the marble fireplace.

00:10:01I'd never seen it before, yet it captured all of us in perfect detail.

00:10:05Alexander pointed at the large desk.

00:10:07Look, Mama! Our toys!

00:10:10Five wooden wolves, identical to the one that Rowena had been destroyed, lined up on the desk.

00:10:16The woman who'd answered the door spoke quietly.

00:10:18Lycan King made those when they were born.

00:10:21I don't understand.

00:10:23My heart broke again when I realized Lyle had lied about carving the toys.

00:10:28Come, my dears. I have milk and bread for you.

00:10:32The woman led my kids away.

00:10:35Finn Blackclaw had been missing since the day his nephew bought me.

00:10:39So how had he carved wooden toys for my quintuplets?

00:10:42And why?

00:10:44I was shocked to see my name on a sealed letter.

00:10:47I tore it open.

00:10:49Finn's voice filled my head as I read it.

00:10:51Alina, if you found this letter, then my nephew has betrayed you.

00:10:55I always knew he would.

00:10:57Lyle believes possession equals love.

00:10:59One day, that mistake will cost him everything he holds valuable.

00:11:02My breath caught as I turned the page over.

00:11:04You deserve the truth.

00:11:05The day I saw you in the auction arena, I...

00:11:08A servant rushed in.

00:11:10My lady, the kids!

00:11:11What happened?

00:11:13Lady Rowena sent guards from the packhouse to take them back.

00:11:16At the packhouse, she stood over them.

00:11:18Be grateful I sent for you.

00:11:20You should live with your father, not your worthless mother.

00:11:23Benjamin, my bravest boy, clenched his fists.

00:11:26Our mama is the best in the world!

00:11:28Rowena yanked him upward, nearly lifting him off his feet.

00:11:32Your mother was tossed aside like the trash she is!

00:11:34My five kids inherited their father's strength.

00:11:37Their eyes blazed icy blue in unison.

00:11:40Their talons burst from their fingertips.

00:11:43Tiny fangs erupt.

00:11:45Fuzzy little wolf ears sprouted from the tops of their heads, twitching with each growl.

00:11:51Don't say bad things about mama!

00:11:55Edward growled.

00:11:56Rowena's two guard looked impressed.

00:11:58The heirs truly belong to the Alpha.

00:12:00Their bloodline is strong.

00:12:02She shoved Edward to her knees.

00:12:04Sebastian lunged in front of his baby sister, taking the guard's rough shove meant for her,

00:12:08shielding Serafina with his own small body.

00:12:10I shoved her aside.

00:12:12She raped her nails across my cheek, blood spattered.

00:12:16But I knelt in front of my penteplecs and gathered them close.

00:12:20Mama's here.

00:12:22Hush now.

00:12:23I wiped their tears.

00:12:25Suddenly a flare of crimson thread woven around my arm.

00:12:29A bond I didn't yet understand, reaching for me from somewhere far away.

00:12:33What's happening?

00:12:35Lyle strode with Alpha Grace toward us.

00:12:37Rowena's face turned pale.

00:12:39Her eyes widened.

00:12:41Lyle!

00:12:42Lyle!

00:12:52The great hall of Blackclaw Castle was packed shoulder to shoulder.

00:12:57Nobles and warriors alike crowding the marble floor to witness the fall of their Alpha's mate.

00:13:02And I was the one on display.

00:13:04I gave you heirs.

00:13:05My voice was steady, but I was breaking.

00:13:07You can't throw me away like I mean nothing.

00:13:10I'm your mate!

00:13:11No, Elena.

00:13:13You're nothing.

00:13:18Lyle pulled Rowena closer, another Omega, safe in his arms, while I could only watch.

00:13:24My fists clenched as memories flooded me.

00:13:26You chose me!

00:13:29Five years ago, the auction house reeked of sweat and fear.

00:13:33Rows of cages lined beneath flickering torchlight where Omegas were paraded like livestock before the highest bidder.

00:13:39Rough hands tore me from my glass cage.

00:13:42The guards pushed me into line with the other Omegas.

00:13:49That one looks expensive.

00:13:51She'll breed fine pups.

00:13:53The blight that had left most female wolves barren in Blackclaw meant only Omegas could breed.

00:13:59I'd never dreamed the Blackclaw Alpha would take me as his own.

00:14:04I knelt beside the other Omegas.

00:14:07Lyle Blackclaw paced the row.

00:14:09His transparent wolf hovered behind him.

00:14:13We all knew the Beast would have the final say.

00:14:17And I was the one they both chose.

00:14:19This one.

00:14:22The starting price for that one, my Alpha, is a million gold coins.

00:14:35His wolf released a low howl.

00:15:05His low growl promised a lifetime of blessings.

00:15:08Every single one of them, nothing but a lie.

00:15:12The great hall of Blackclaw Castle.

00:15:15You can't break the mate bond, Lyle.

00:15:18As Alpha of this pack, I do as I please.

00:15:27Rowena simpered.

00:15:29Diamonds glittered around her neck.

00:15:31But love cannot be measured in diamonds.

00:15:33Not even in words.

00:15:35It can only be measured in actions.

00:15:38Lyle addressed the crowd of nobles.

00:15:40Alina Omega is no longer my mate.

00:15:44Instead, I take.

00:15:47He kissed Rolina.

00:15:49I covered my mouth, eyes wide with grief.

00:15:52Everyone watched, waiting for me to shatter.

00:15:55I forced my hand down.

00:15:57Rowena Omega is my new mate.

00:16:04Lyle walked to stand a few inches from me.

00:16:07Your body provided me with five fine children.

00:16:09I've no more need for you.

00:16:11As the mother of my heirs, you'll be permitted to remain in the Blackclaw pack.

00:16:16But...

00:16:17His eyes blazed icy blue.

00:16:19You're no longer my mate.

00:16:21Crimson cords entwined from our fingertips, but instantly snapped apart.

00:16:26I staggered.

00:16:27My hand gripped my heart.

00:16:29Lyle turned his back, unmoved by my pain.

00:16:32But...

00:16:32My uncle has no mate.

00:16:34I'm giving you to him.

00:16:35His uncle?

00:16:37Finn Blackclaw?

00:16:38He is the true Lycan king.

00:16:40The most feared warrior.

00:16:42And the war god the Seven Territories once knelt to.

00:16:45That was before.

00:16:46When he vanished on the battlefield, Alpha Lyle took up the pack's throne in his stead.

00:16:51Goddess above.

00:16:53Did our Alpha really just hand her off to a man who'd vanished off the battlefield?

00:16:57And what of her five children, poor little things?

00:17:01Motherless in all but blood.

00:17:03Fatherless in all but name.

00:17:05Every word landed like a stone.

00:17:07I grabbed Lyle's sleeve to stop him.

00:17:09He yanked free with Alpha strength.

00:17:12His blazing blue gaze pierced me to the core, but I didn't let go.

00:17:17Lyle!

00:17:18Finn Blackclaw disappeared in battle five years ago!

00:17:21His sneer of disgust broke me harder.

00:17:23He'd forgotten the nights of pleasure we shared, but I never would.

00:17:28Then you'll have the manor house to yourself.

00:17:30He returned to his new mate.

00:17:33I pictured Finn Blackclorn.

00:17:35Hair black as night.

00:17:36Amber eyes.

00:17:38He'd been watching me the day Lyle bought me at the auction, never looking away.

00:17:42And then he disappeared.

00:17:45Finn Blackcloth had paced the rows of glass cages in the Omega auction.

00:17:49His gray wolf loomed behind him.

00:17:52He studied me for hours, never speaking.

00:17:56I'd trembled at the orange blaze in his eyes.

00:17:59I thought he'd bid on me.

00:18:00But after Lyle bought me, Finn disappeared.

00:18:04Rumors said he'd been slaughtered in battle.

00:18:07Rowena glared as I addressed Lyle in a hard, clear voice.

00:18:11If I'm to be tossed aside like trash,

00:18:13I demand our bond be stricken from the Blackclog register.

00:18:17Nobles murmured.

00:18:19The Elder stepped forward.

00:18:22Magic sparkled from her fingertips as a massive book appeared.

00:18:26Pages flipped to reveal our names in glimmering script.

00:18:38Alpha Lyot.

00:18:39You've broken the bond with Elena Omega.

00:18:42Your names will be stricken from the register,

00:18:44as demanded by the Moon Goddess for those who deny her blessings.

00:18:47It can never be restored.

00:18:50Lyot looked deeply into Rowena's eyes.

00:18:52Without even looking at me, Lyot barked out.

00:18:55Sever it, old woman.

00:18:56The gathered nobles gasped in shock.

00:18:58The Elder mimicked tearing the pages from the book.

00:19:01Hanging in the air, the letters of my name burned.

00:19:04As each letter turned to ash, I jerked with fresh agonies.

00:19:07I went to my knees, headbound.

00:19:09It is done!

00:19:10A vision appeared of my weeping four-year-old cantelets.

00:19:14Benjamin, Edward, Alexander, Sebastian, and little Seraphina.

00:19:20Their eyes blazed the same as their father's.

00:19:22My name again.

00:19:23But this time, I was joined with Finn.

00:19:26It's done.

00:19:27When our Lycan king returns from the war, the mating shall be completed.

00:19:31Hushed voices murmured.

00:19:33I staggered upright.

00:19:34Tears streaked my cheeks.

00:19:35The book vanished in a flash of crimson and gold sparks.

00:19:38Lyot's wolf appeared with a mournful howl.

00:19:42Lyot's face twisted with a sudden realization.

00:19:45He gave me away.

00:19:46He could never get me back.

00:19:49In the morning, servants tossed my belongings into the courtyard.

00:19:52A lifetime, thrown away like trash.

00:19:54Once I'd been their beloved Alpha's mate.

00:19:57Now, I was nothing.

00:19:58They wouldn't even meet my eyes.

00:20:00Like their Alpha, they had a new mistress now.

00:20:03I'd planted medicinal herbs so I could take care of my five children and their father.

00:20:06And Rowena ordered every single plant torn up by its roots.

00:20:10Rip it all out.

00:20:11It's ugly.

00:20:11She watched with a cruel smile as my entire world was destroyed.

00:20:15My weeping children clung to me.

00:20:17They were being ripped away from the only home they'd ever known.

00:20:20Torn up by their roots.

00:20:22Just like my garden.

00:20:23Rowena's cold gaze fell upon the wooden toy Lyot had carved when the Cantuplets were born.

00:20:29The small wolf posed with its nose pointed to the air, howlowing.

00:20:33She picked it up with a snarl of disgust.

00:20:37Get rid of all this trash.

00:20:39She shattered the toy to splinters on the ground.

00:20:42My children wailed.

00:20:44I gathered them close.

00:20:45They were my entire life.

00:20:47Rowena.

00:20:48Rowena sneered at me.

00:20:50Enjoy the life you've stolen.

00:20:51I held my children close and jextured the hand.

00:20:54I refused to be ashamed.

00:20:57Everything worth having will never be yours, Rowena.

00:20:59As night fell, I found myself outside the packhouse gates.

00:21:03The townsfolk who once threw flowers to celebrate the birth of the Alpha's heirs now gathered to whisper and gossip.

00:21:10Nobody offered to help us.

00:21:12Where will she go?

00:21:13Five children at this time of night?

00:21:16Who will take her in?

00:21:19Mama?

00:21:19The firstborn Quintipets, Benjamin, tugged my skirts.

00:21:23I'm sleepy.

00:21:25In my arms, Selafina whimpered, too tired to even lift her head from my shoulder.

00:21:31Suddenly, the blare of a warhorn echoed through the town's stone streets.

00:21:37Elite warriors on black warhorses galloped toward us.

00:21:42The captain dismounted and strode towards me.

00:21:45I gasped when the captain bowed in front of me.

00:21:49Elino Omega, I've been sent to bring you home.

00:21:52He stepped aside to show the carriage waiting.

00:21:55Black as midnight, emblessed with the ancient runes of Blackclaw Pack.

00:21:59At Lichen King's estate, vines with thorns the size of my arm twisted through the closed iron gates.

00:22:06No lights welcomed us from the manor house.

00:22:09But when I stepped out of the carriage, the gates swung open.

00:22:12The thorns became blooming crimson roses.

00:22:15In the courtyard, dusty fountains spouted clear water.

00:22:19My children's eyes grew wide as they followed me to the manor house.

00:22:25A woman with a kind face invited us inside.

00:22:28The estate knows its true mistress has come home.

00:22:31It has never responded to anyone this way before.

00:22:34I gazed in awe at the beautiful home.

00:22:36Through a doorway, I saw a room with walls of books, maps, and military banners.

00:22:42Curiously, I stepped inside.

00:22:44I gasped at the enormous portrait of me and my kids hanging over the marble fireplace.

00:22:49I'd never seen it before, yet it captured all of us in perfect detail.

00:22:53Alexander pointed at the large desk.

00:22:56Look, Mama! Our toys!

00:22:58Five wooden wolves, identical to the one that Rowena had been destroyed, lined up on the desk.

00:23:04The woman who'd answered the door spoke quietly.

00:23:06Lycan King made those when they were born.

00:23:09I don't understand.

00:23:11My heart broke again when I realized Lyle had lied about carving the toys.

00:23:16Come, my dears. I have milk and bread for you.

00:23:21The woman led my kids away.

00:23:23Finn Blackclaw had been missing since the day his nephew bought me.

00:23:27So how had he carved wooden toys for my quintuplets?

00:23:30And why?

00:23:33I was shocked to see my name on a sealed letter.

00:23:36I tore it open.

00:23:37Finn's voice filled my head as I read it.

00:23:39Alina, if you found this letter, then my nephew has betrayed you.

00:23:43I always knew he would.

00:23:45Lyle believes possession equals love.

00:23:47One day, that mistake will cost him everything he holds valuable.

00:23:50My breath caught as I turned the page over.

00:23:52You deserve the truth.

00:23:53The day I saw you in the auction arena, I...

00:23:56A servant rushed in.

00:23:58My lady, the kids.

00:23:59What happened?

00:24:01Lady Rowena sent guards from the packhouse to take them back.

00:24:04At the packhouse, she stood over them.

00:24:06Be grateful I sent for you.

00:24:08You should live with your father, not your worthless mother.

00:24:11Benjamin, my bravest boy, clenched his fists.

00:24:14Our mama is the best in the world!

00:24:16Rowena yanked him upward, nearly lifting him off his feet.

00:24:20Your mother was tossed aside like the trash she is!

00:24:22My five kids inherited their father's strength.

00:24:25Their eyes blazed icy blue in unison.

00:24:28Their talons burst from their fingertips.

00:24:31Tiny fangs erupt.

00:24:33Fuzzy little wolf ears sprouted from the tops of their heads, twitching with each growl.

00:24:39Don't say bad things about mama!

00:24:43Edward growled.

00:24:44Rowena's two guard looked impressed.

00:24:46The heirs truly belong to the Alpha.

00:24:49Their bloodline is strong.

00:24:50She shoved Edward to her knees.

00:24:52Sebastian lunged in front of his baby sister, taking the guard's rough shove meant for her,

00:24:56shielding Serafina with his own small body.

00:24:58I shoved her aside.

00:25:00She raped her nails across my cheek, blood spattered.

00:25:04But I knelt in front of my penteplecs and gathered them close.

00:25:08Mama's here.

00:25:10Hush now.

00:25:11I wiped their tears.

00:25:13Suddenly a flare of crimson thread woven around my arm.

00:25:17A bond I didn't yet understand, reaching for me from somewhere far away.

00:25:21What's happening?

00:25:23Lyle strode with Alpha Grace toward us.

00:25:25Rowena's face turned pale.

00:25:27Her eyes widened.

00:25:28Lyle!

00:25:40The great hall of Blackclaw Castle was packed shoulder to shoulder.

00:25:45Nobles and warriors alike crowding the marble floor to witness the fall of their Alpha's mate.

00:25:50And I was the one on display.

00:25:52I gave you airs.

00:25:53My voice was steady, but I was breaking.

00:25:55You can't throw me away like I mean nothing.

00:25:57I'm your mate!

00:25:59No, Elena.

00:26:01You're nothing.

00:26:06Lyle pulled Rowena closer.

00:26:08Another Omega, safe in his arms.

00:26:10While I could only watch.

00:26:12My fists clenched as memories flooded me.

00:26:15You chose me!

00:26:17Five years ago, the auction house reeked of sweat and fear.

00:26:21Rows of cages lined beneath flickering torchlight where Omegas were paraded like livestock before the highest bidder.

00:26:27Rough hands tore me from my glass cage.

00:26:30The guards pushed me into line with the other Omegas.

00:26:33I blinked beneath the bright lights while the bidders all gossiped.

00:26:37That one looks expensive.

00:26:39She'll breed fine pups.

00:26:41The blight that had left most female wolves barren in Blackclaw meant only Omegas could breed.

00:26:47I'd never dreamed the Blackclaw Alpha would take me as his own.

00:26:52I knelt beside the other Omegas.

00:26:55Lyle Blackclaw paced the row.

00:26:58His transparent wolf hovered behind him.

00:27:01We all knew the beast would have the final say.

00:27:05And I was the one they both chose.

00:27:07This one.

00:27:10The starting price for that one, my Alpha, is a million gold coins.

00:27:15The other bidders gasped.

00:27:16Nobody else dared to bid.

00:27:18Alpha Lydon's gaze burned deep into my soul.

00:27:23His wolf released a low howl.

00:27:26The crimson thread of the mate bond erupted from our fingertips

00:27:29and braided into the tight cord meant to bind us together for eternity.

00:27:33The auctioneer slammed down his gavern.

00:27:36Shimmering gold coins cascaded from the sky.

00:27:40Salt!

00:27:41The servants rushed with wheelbarrows to haul away the pile of coins.

00:27:45Alpha Lyle helped me to my feet.

00:27:48He lifted my chin.

00:27:50I dared risk a smile.

00:27:52The moon goddess has blessed us.

00:27:53His low growl promised a lifetime of blessings.

00:27:56Every single one of them.

00:27:58Nothing but a lie.

00:28:00The great hall of Blackclaw Castle.

00:28:03You can't break the mate bond, Lyle.

00:28:06As Alpha of this pack, I do as I please.

00:28:15Rowena simpered.

00:28:17Diamonds glittered around her neck.

00:28:19But love cannot be measured in diamonds.

00:28:22Not even in words.

00:28:23It can only be measured in actions.

00:28:26Lyle addressed the crowd of nobles.

00:28:28Elina Omega is no longer my mate.

00:28:32Instead, I take.

00:28:35He kissed Rolina.

00:28:37I covered my mouth.

00:28:39Eyes wide with grief.

00:28:40Everyone watched.

00:28:42Waiting for me to shatter.

00:28:43I forced my hand down.

00:28:46Rowena Omega is my new mate.

00:28:52Lyle walked to stand a few inches from me.

00:28:54Your body provided me with five fine children.

00:28:57I've no more need for you.

00:28:59As the mother of my heirs, you'll be permitted to remain in the Blackclaw pack.

00:29:04But...

00:29:05His eyes blazed icy blue.

00:29:07You're no longer my mate.

00:29:09Crimson cords entwined from our fingertips, but instantly snapped apart.

00:29:14I staggered.

00:29:15My hand gripped my heart.

00:29:17Lyle turned his back, unmoved by my pain.

00:29:20But...

00:29:20My uncle has no mate.

00:29:22I'm giving you to him.

00:29:24His uncle?

00:29:25Finn Blackclaw?

00:29:26He is the true Lycan king.

00:29:28The most feared warrior.

00:29:30And the war god the seven territories once knelt to.

00:29:33That was before.

00:29:34When he vanished on the battlefield, Alpha Lyle took up the Pax throne in his stead.

00:29:40Goddess above.

00:29:41Did our Alpha really just hand her off to a man who'd vanished off the battlefield?

00:29:45And what of her five children, poor little things?

00:29:49Motherless in all but blood.

00:29:51Fatherless in all but name.

00:29:53Every word landed like a stone.

00:29:55I grabbed Lyle's sleeve to stop him.

00:29:57He yanked free with Alpha strength.

00:30:00His blazing blue gaze pierced me to the core, but I didn't let go.

00:30:05Lyle, Finn Blackclaw disappeared in battle five years ago!

00:30:09His sneer of disgust broke me harder.

00:30:11He'd forgotten the nights of pleasure we shared, but I never would.

00:30:16Then you'll have the manor house to yourself.

00:30:18He returned to his new mate.

00:30:21I pictured Finn Blackclorn.

00:30:23Hair black as night.

00:30:25Amber eyes.

00:30:26He'd been watching me the day Lyle bought me at the auction.

00:30:29Never looking away.

00:30:30And then he disappeared.

00:30:33Finn Blackcloth had paced the rows of glass cages in the Omega auction.

00:30:37His gray wolf loomed behind him.

00:30:39He studied me for hours, never speaking.

00:30:44I'd trembled at the orange blaze in his eyes.

00:30:47I thought he'd bid on me.

00:30:48But after Lyle bought me, Finn disappeared.

00:30:52Rumors said he'd been slaughtered in battle.

00:30:55Rowena glared as I addressed Lyle in a hard, clear voice.

00:30:59If I'm to be tossed aside like trash.

00:31:02I demand our bond be stricken from the Blackclog register.

00:31:05Nobles murmured.

00:31:07The Elder stepped forward.

00:31:10Magic sparkled from her fingertips as a massive book appeared.

00:31:14Pages flipped to reveal our names in glimmering script.

00:31:26Alpha Lyot, you've broken the bond with Elena Omega.

00:31:30Your names will be stricken from the register, as demanded by the Moon Goddess for those who deny her blessings.

00:31:35It can never be restored.

00:31:38Lyot looked deeply into Rowena's eyes.

00:31:40Without even looking at me, Lyot barked out.

00:31:43Sever it, old woman.

00:31:44The gathered nobles gasped in shock.

00:31:46The Elder mimicked, tearing the pages from the book.

00:31:49Hanging in the air, the letters of my name burned.

00:31:52As each letter turned to ash, I jerked with fresh agonies.

00:31:55I went to my knees, headbound.

00:31:57It is done!

00:31:58A vision appeared of my weeping four-year-old cantelets.

00:32:02Benjamin, Edward, Alexander, Sebastian, and little Seraphina.

00:32:08Their eyes blazed the same as their father's.

00:32:10My name again.

00:32:12But this time, I was joined with Finn.

00:32:14It's done.

00:32:15When our Lycan king returns from the war, the mating shall be completed.

00:32:19Hushed voices murmured.

00:32:21I staggered upright.

00:32:22Tears streaked my cheeks.

00:32:23The book vanished in a flash of crimson and gold sparks.

00:32:26Lyot's wolf appeared with a mournful howl.

00:32:30Lyot's face twisted with a sudden realization.

00:32:33He gave me away.

00:32:34He could never get me back.

00:32:37In the morning, servants tossed my belongings into the courtyard.

00:32:40A lifetime, thrown away like trash.

00:33:08Torn up by their roots.

00:33:10Just like my garden, Rowena's cold gaze fell upon the wooden toy Lyot had carved when the

00:33:15Cantuplets were born.

00:33:30My children wailed.

00:33:32I gathered them close.

00:33:33They were my entire life.

00:33:35Rowena.

00:33:36Rowena sneered at me.

00:33:38Enjoy the life you've stolen.

00:33:40I held my children close and jextured the hand.

00:36:49Lady Rowena sent guards from the packhouse to take them back.

00:36:52At the packhouse, she stood over them.

00:36:54Be grateful I sent for you.

00:36:56You should live with your father, not your worthless mother.

00:36:59Benjamin, my bravest boy, clenched his fists.

00:37:02Our mama is the best in the world!

00:37:44shielding Serafina with his own small body.

00:37:46I shoved her aside.

00:37:48She raped her nails across my cheek.

00:37:51Blood spattered.

00:37:52But I knelt in front of my pentepleks and gathered them close.

00:37:56Mama's here.

00:37:58Hush now.

00:37:59I wiped their tears.

00:38:01Suddenly a flare of crimson thread woven around my arm.

00:38:05A bond I didn't yet understand, reaching for me from somewhere far away.

00:38:09What's happening?

00:38:11Lyle strode with Alpha Grace toward us.

00:38:13Rowena's face turned pale.

00:38:15Her eyes widened.

00:38:17Lyle!

00:38:29The great hall of Black Claw Castle was packed shoulder to shoulder.

00:38:33Nobles and warriors alike crowding the marble floor to witness the fall of their Alpha's mate.

00:38:38And I was the one on display.

00:38:40I gave you airs.

00:38:41My voice was steady, but I was breaking.

00:38:43You can't throw me away like I mean nothing.

00:38:46I'm your mate!

00:38:47No, Elena.

00:38:49You're nothing.

00:38:54Lyle pulled Rowena closer.

00:38:56Another Omega, safe in his arms.

00:38:58While I could only watch.

00:39:00My fists clenched as memories flooded me.

00:39:03You chose me!

00:39:06Five years ago, the auction house reeked of sweat and fear.

00:39:09Rows of cages lined beneath flickering torchlight where Omegas were paraded like

00:39:13livestock before the highest bidder.

00:39:15Rough hands tore me from my glass cage.

00:39:18The guards pushed me into line with the other Omegas.

00:39:21I blinked beneath the bright lights while the bidders all gossiped.

00:39:25That one looks expensive.

00:39:28She'll breed fine pups.

00:39:29The blight that had left most female wolves barren in Black Claw meant only Omegas could

00:39:34breed.

00:39:35I'd never dreamed the Black Claw Alpha would take me as his own.

00:39:40I knelt beside the other Omegas.

00:39:43Lyle Black Claw paced the row.

00:39:46His transparent wolf hovered behind him.

00:39:49We all knew the beast would have the final say.

00:39:53And I was the one they both chose.

00:39:55This one.

00:39:59The starting price for that one, my Alpha, is a million gold coins.

00:40:03The other bidders gasped.

00:40:04Nobody else dared to bid.

00:40:06Alpha Leiden's gaze burned deep into my soul.

00:40:11His wolf released a low howl.

00:40:14The crimson thread of the mate bond erupted from our fingertips and braided into the tight

00:40:18cord meant to bind us together.

00:40:20For eternity.

00:40:22The auctioneer slammed down his daver.

00:40:25Shimmering gold coins cascaded from the sky.

00:40:28Salt!

00:40:29The servants rushed with wheelbarrows to haul away the pile of coins.

00:40:33Alpha Leiden helped me to my feet.

00:40:36He lifted my chin.

00:40:38I dared risk a smile.

00:40:40The moon goddess has blessed us.

00:40:42His low growl promised a lifetime of blessings.

00:40:44Every single one of them.

00:40:46Nothing but a lie.

00:40:48The great hall of Blackclaw Castle.

00:40:51You can't break the mate bond, Lyle.

00:40:54As Alpha of this pack, I do as I please.

00:41:03Rowena simpered.

00:41:05Diamonds glittered around her neck.

00:41:07But love cannot be measured in diamonds.

00:41:10Not even in words.

00:41:11It can only be measured in actions.

00:41:14Lyle addressed the crowd of nobles.

00:41:17Alina Omega is no longer my mate.

00:41:20Instead, I take.

00:41:23He kissed Rolina.

00:41:25I covered my mouth.

00:41:27Eyes wide with grief.

00:41:29Everyone watched.

00:41:30Waiting for me to shatter.

00:41:31I forced my hand down.

00:41:34Rowena Omega is my new mate.

00:41:40Lyle walked to stand a few inches from me.

00:41:43Your body provided me with five fine children.

00:41:46I've no more need for you.

00:41:48As the mother of my heirs, you'll be permitted to remain in the Blackclaw pack.

00:41:52But...

00:41:53His eyes blazed icy blue.

00:41:55You're no longer my mate.

00:41:57Crimson cords entwined from our fingertips, but instantly snapped apart.

00:42:02I staggered.

00:42:03My hand gripped my heart.

00:42:05Lyle turned his back.

00:42:06Unmoved by my pain.

00:42:08But...

00:42:08My uncle has no mate.

00:42:10I'm giving you to him.

00:42:12His uncle?

00:42:13Finn Blackclaw?

00:42:14He is the true Lycan king.

00:42:16The most feared warrior.

00:42:18And the war god the seven territories once knelt to.

00:42:21That was before.

00:42:22When he vanished on the battlefield, Alpha Lyle took up the pack's throne in his stead.

00:42:28Goddess above.

00:42:29Did our Alpha really just hand her off to a man who'd vanished off the battlefield?

00:42:33And what of her five children?

00:42:35Poor little things.

00:42:37Motherless in all but blood.

00:42:39Fatherless in all but name.

00:42:41Every word landed like a stone.

00:42:43I grabbed Lyle's sleeve to stop him.

00:42:46He yanked free with Alpha strength.

00:42:48His blazing blue gaze pierced me to the core, but I didn't let go.

00:42:53Lyle, Finn Blackclaw disappeared in battle five years ago.

00:42:57His sneer of disgust broke me harder.

00:42:59He'd forgotten the nights of pleasure we shared, but I never would.

00:43:04Then you'll have the manor house to yourself.

00:43:06He returned to his new mate.

00:43:09I pictured Finn Blackclorn.

00:43:11Hair black as night.

00:43:13Amber eyes.

00:43:14He'd been watching me the day Lyle bought me at the auction.

00:43:17Never looking away.

00:43:19And then he disappeared.

00:43:21Finn Blackcloth had paced the rows of glass cages in the Omega auction.

00:43:25His gray wolf loomed behind him.

00:43:28He studied me for hours, never speaking.

00:43:32I'd trembled at the orange blaze in his eyes.

00:43:35I thought he'd bid on me.

00:43:36But after Lyle bought me, Finn disappeared.

00:43:40Rumors said he'd been slaughtered in battle.

00:43:43Rowena glared as I addressed Lyle in a hard, clear voice.

00:43:47If I'm to be tossed aside like trash, I demand our bond be stricken from the Blacklog register.

00:43:54Nobles murmured.

00:43:55The Elder stepped forward.

00:43:58Magic sparkled from her fingertips as a massive book appeared.

00:44:02Pages flipped to reveal our names in glimmering script.

00:44:14Alpha Lyot.

00:44:15You've broken the bond with Elena Omega.

00:44:18Your names will be stricken from the register, as demanded by the Moon Goddess for those who deny her blessings.

00:44:24It can never be restored.

00:44:26Lyot looked deeply into Rowena's eyes.

00:44:28Without even looking at me, Lyot barked out.

00:44:31Sever it, old woman.

00:44:32The gathered nobles gasped in shock.

00:44:34The Elder mimicked tearing the pages from the book.

00:44:37Hanging in the air, the letters of my name burned.

00:44:40As each letter turned to ash, I jerked with fresh agonies.

00:44:43I went to my knees, headbound.

00:44:45It is done!

00:44:46A vision appeared of my weeping four-year-old cantelots.

00:44:50Benjamin, Edward, Alexander, Sebastian, and little Seraphina.

00:44:56Their eyes blazed the same as their father's.

00:44:58My name again.

00:45:00But this time, I was joined with Finn.

00:45:02It's done.

00:45:03When our Lycan king returns from the war, the mating shall be completed.

00:45:07Hushed voices murmured.

00:45:09I staggered upright.

00:45:10Tears streaked my cheeks.

00:45:11The book vanished in a flash of crimson and gold sparks.

00:45:15Lyot's wolf appeared with a mournful howl.

00:45:18Lyot's face twisted with a sudden realization.

00:45:21He gave me away.

00:45:22He could never get me back.

00:45:25In the morning, servants tossed my belongings into the courtyard.

00:45:28A lifetime, thrown away like trash.

00:45:31Once I'd been their beloved Alpha's mate.

00:45:33Now, I was nothing.

00:45:34They wouldn't even meet my eyes.

00:45:36Like their Alpha, they had a new mistress now.

00:45:39I'd planted medicinal herbs so I could take care of my five children and their father.

00:45:43And Rowena ordered every single plant torn up by its roots.

00:45:45Rip it all out.

00:45:47It's ugly.

00:45:48She watched with a cruel smile as my entire world was destroyed.

00:45:51My weeping children clung to me.

00:45:53They were being ripped away from the only home they'd ever known.

00:45:57Torn up by their roots.

00:45:58Just like my garden.

00:45:59Rowena's cold gaze fell upon the wooden toy Lyot had carved when the Cantuplets were born.

00:46:05The small wolf posed with its nose pointed to the air, howlowing.

00:46:09She picked it up with a snarl of disgust.

00:46:13Get rid of all this trash.

00:46:16She shattered the toy to splinters on the ground.

00:46:18My children wailed.

00:46:20I gathered them close.

00:46:21They were my entire life.

00:46:23Rowena.

00:46:24Rowena sneered at me.

00:46:26Enjoy the life you've stolen.

00:46:28I held my children close and jextured the hand.

00:46:30I refused to be ashamed.

00:46:33Everything worth having will never be yours, Rowena.

00:46:35As night fell, I found myself outside the packhouse gates.

00:46:39The townsfolk who once threw flowers to celebrate the birth of the Alpha's heirs now gathered to whisper and gossip.

00:46:46Nobody offered to help us.

00:46:48Where will she go?

00:46:49Five children at this time of night?

00:46:52Who will take her in?

00:46:55Mama?

00:46:56The firstborn Quintipets, Benjamin, tugged my skirts.

00:46:59I'm sleepy.

00:47:01In my arms, Selafina whimpered, too tired to even lift her head from my shoulder.

00:47:07Suddenly, the blare of a warhorn echoed through the town's stone streets.

00:47:13Elite warriors on black warhorses galloped toward us.

00:47:18The captain dismounted and strode towards me.

00:47:21I gasped when the captain bowed in front of me.

00:47:25Alino Omega, I've been sent to bring you home.

00:47:28He stepped aside to show the carriage waiting.

00:47:31Black as midnight, emblessed with the ancient runes of Blackclaw Pack.

00:47:36At Lycan King's estate, vines with thorns the size of my arm twisted through the closed iron gates.

00:47:42No lights welcomed us from the manor house.

00:47:45But when I stepped out of the carriage, the gates swung open.

00:47:48The thorns became blooming crimson roses.

00:47:51In the courtyard, dusty fountains spouted clear water.

00:47:55My children's eyes grew wide as they followed me to the manor house.

00:48:01A woman with a kind face invited us inside.

00:48:04The estate knows its true mistress has come home.

00:48:07It has never responded to anyone this way before.

00:48:10I gazed in awe at the beautiful home.

00:48:13Through a doorway, I saw a room with walls of books, maps, and military banners.

00:48:17Curiously, I stepped inside.

00:48:20I gasped at the enormous portrait of me and my kids hanging over the marble fireplace.

00:48:25I'd never seen it before, yet it captured all of us in perfect detail.

00:48:29Alexander pointed at the large desk.

00:48:31Look, Mama! Our toys!

00:48:34Five wooden wolves, identical to the one that Rowena had been destroyed, lined up on the desk.

00:48:40The woman who'd answered the door spoke quietly.

00:48:43Lycan King made those when they were born.

00:48:45I don't understand.

00:48:47My heart broke again when I realized Lyle had lied about carving the toys.

00:48:52Come, my dears. I have milk and bread for you.

00:48:57The woman led my kids away.

00:48:59Finn Blackclaw had been missing since the day his nephew bought me.

00:49:03So how had he carved wooden toys for my quintuplets?

00:49:06And why?

00:49:09I was shocked to see my name on a sealed letter.

00:49:11I tore it open.

00:49:13Finn's voice filled my head as I read it.

00:49:15Alina, if you found this letter, then my nephew has betrayed you.

00:49:19I always knew he would.

00:49:21Lyle believes possession equals love.

00:49:23One day, that mistake will cost him everything he holds valuable.

00:49:26My breath caught as I turned the page over.

00:49:28You deserve the truth.

00:49:30The day I saw you in the auction arena, I...

00:49:32A servant rushed in.

00:49:34My lady, the kids.

00:49:36What happened?

00:49:37Lady Rowena sent guards from the packhouse to take them back.

00:49:40At the packhouse, she stood over them.

00:49:42Be grateful I sent for you.

00:49:44You should live with your father, not your worthless mother.

00:49:48Benjamin, my bravest boy, clenched his fists.

00:49:51Our mama is the best in the world!

00:49:52Rowena yanked him upward, nearly lifting him off his feet.

00:49:56Your mother was tossed aside like the trash she is!

00:49:59My five kids inherited their father's strength.

00:50:01Their eyes blazed icy blue in unison.

00:50:05Their talons burst from their fingertips.

00:50:07Tiny fangs erupt.

00:50:09Fuzzy little wolf ears sprouted from the tops of their heads,

00:50:13twitching with each growl.

00:50:15Don't say bad things about mama!

00:50:19Edward growled.

00:50:20Rowena's two guard looked impressed.

00:50:22The heirs truly belong to the Alpha.

00:50:25Their bloodline is strong.

00:50:26She shoved Edward to her knees.

00:50:28Sebastian lunged in front of his baby sister,

00:50:30taking the guard's rough shove meant for her,

00:50:32shielding Serafina with his own small body.

00:50:34I shoved her aside.

00:50:36She raped her nails across my cheek.

00:50:39Blood spattered.

00:50:40But I knelt in front of my pentepleks and gathered them close.

00:50:45Mama's here.

00:50:46Hush now.

00:50:47I wiped their tears.

00:50:50Suddenly a flare of crimson thread woven around my arm.

00:50:53A bond I didn't yet understand,

00:50:55reaching for me from somewhere far away.

00:50:58What's happening?

00:50:59Lyle strode with Alpha grace toward us.

00:51:02Rowena's face turned pale.

00:51:03Her eyes widened.

00:51:05Lyle!

00:51:17The great hall of Black Claw Castle was packed shoulder to shoulder.

00:51:21Nobles and warriors alike crowding the marble floor to witness the fall of their Alpha's mate.

00:51:26And I was the one on display.

00:51:28I gave you airs.

00:51:29My voice was steady, but I was breaking.

00:51:31You can't throw me away like I mean nothing.

00:51:34I'm your mate!

00:51:35No, Elena.

00:51:37You're nothing.

00:51:42Lyle pulled Rowena closer.

00:51:44Another Omega, safe in his arms.

00:51:46While I could only watch.

00:51:48My fists clenched as memories flooded me.

00:51:51You chose me!

00:51:54Five years ago, the auction house reeked of sweat and fear.

00:51:58Rows of cages lined beneath flickering torchlight where Omegas were paraded like livestock before the highest bidder.

00:52:03Rough hands tore me from my glass cage.

00:52:06The guards pushed me into line with the other Omegas.

00:52:09I blinked beneath the bright lights while the bidders all gossiped.

00:52:13That one looks expensive.

00:52:16She'll breed fine pups.

00:52:17The blight that had left most female wolves barren in Black Claw meant only Omegas could breed.

00:52:23I'd never dreamed the Black Claw Alpha would take me as his own.

00:52:28I knelt beside the other Omegas.

00:52:31Lyle Black Claw paced the row.

00:52:34His transparent wolf hovered behind him.

00:52:37We all knew the beast would have the final say.

00:52:41And I was the one they both chose.

00:52:44This one.

00:52:47The starting price for that one, my Alpha, is a million gold coins.

00:52:53Nobody else dared to bid.

00:52:54Alpha Leiden's gaze burned deep into my soul.

00:52:59His wolf released a low howl.

00:53:02The crimson thread of the mate bond erupted from our fingertips

00:53:05and braided into the tight cord meant to bind us together for eternity.

00:53:10The auctioneer slammed down his gavern.

00:53:13Shimmering gold coins cascaded from the sky.

00:53:16Salt!

00:53:17The servants rushed with wheelbarrows to haul away the pile of coins.

00:53:21Alpha Leiden helped me to my feet.

00:53:24He lifted my chin.

00:53:26I dared risk a smile.

00:53:28The moon goddess has blessed us.

00:53:30His low growl promised a lifetime of blessings.

00:53:32Every single one of them, nothing but a lie.

00:53:36The great hall of Black Claw Castle.

00:53:39You can't break the mate bond, Lyle.

00:53:43As Alpha of this pack, I do as I please.

00:53:51Rowena simpered.

00:53:53Diamonds glittered around her neck.

00:53:55But love cannot be measured in diamonds.

00:53:58Not even in words.

00:53:59It can only be measured in actions.

00:54:02Lyle addressed the crowd of nobles.

00:54:05Alina Omega is no longer my mate.

00:54:08Instead, I take.

00:54:11He kissed Rolina.

00:54:13I covered my mouth.

00:54:15Eyes wide with grief.

00:54:17Everyone watched.

00:54:18Waiting for me to shatter.

00:54:19I forced my hand down.

00:54:22Rowena Omega is my new mate.

00:54:28Lyle walked to stand a few inches from me.

00:54:31Your body provided me with five fine children.

00:54:34I've no more need for you.

00:54:35As the mother of my heirs, you'll be permitted to remain in the Black Claw pack.

00:54:41But...

00:54:41His eyes blazed icy blue.

00:54:43You're no longer my mate.

00:54:45Crimson cords entwined from our fingertips, but instantly snapped apart.

00:54:50I staggered.

00:54:51My hand gripped my heart.

00:54:53Lyle turned his back, unmoved by my pain.

00:54:56But...

00:54:56My uncle has no mate.

00:54:58I'm giving you to him.

00:55:00His uncle?

00:55:01Finn Black Claw?

00:55:02He is the true Lycan king.

00:55:04The most feared warrior.

00:55:06And the war god the Seven Territories once knelt to.

00:55:09That was before.

00:55:10When he vanished on the battlefield, Alpha Lyle took up the pack's throne in his stead.

00:55:16Goddess above.

00:55:17Did our Alpha really just hand her off to a man who'd vanished off the battlefield?

00:55:21And what of her five children, poor little things?

00:55:25Motherless in all but blood.

00:55:27Fatherless in all but name.

00:55:29Every word landed like a stone.

00:55:31I grabbed Lyle's sleeve to stop him.

00:55:34He yanked free with Alpha strength.

00:55:36His blazing blue gaze pierced me to the core, but I didn't let go.

00:55:41Lyle, Finn Black Claw disappeared in battle five years ago!

00:56:35If I'm to be tossed aside like trash.

00:56:38I demand our bond be stricken from the Blacklog register.

00:56:42Nobles murmured.

00:56:43The Elder stepped forward.

00:56:46Magic sparkled from her fingertip as a massive book appeared.

00:56:51Pages flipped to reveal our names in glimmering script.

00:57:02Alpha Lyot, you've broken the bond with Elena Omega.

00:57:06Your names will be stricken from the register,

00:57:08as demanded by the Moon Goddess for those who deny her blessings.

00:57:12It can never be restored.

00:57:14Lyot looked deeply into Rowena's eyes.

00:57:16Without even looking at me, Lyot barked out.

00:57:19Sever it, old woman.

00:57:20The gathered nobles gasped in shock.

00:57:22The Elder mimicked tearing the pages from the book.

00:57:25Hanging in the air, the letters of my name burned.

00:57:28As each letter turned to ash, I jerked with fresh agonies.

00:57:31I went to my knees, headbound.

00:57:33It is done!

00:57:34A vision appeared of my weeping four-year-old cantelets.

00:57:38Benjamin, Edward, Alexander, Sebastian, and little Seraphina.

00:57:44Their eyes blazed the same as their father's.

00:57:46My name again.

00:57:48But this time, I was joined with Finn.

00:57:50It's done.

00:57:51When our Lycan king returns from the war, the mating shall be completed.

00:57:55Hushed voices murmured.

00:57:57I staggered upright.

00:57:58Tears streaked my cheeks.

00:57:59The book vanished in a flash of crimson and gold sparks.

00:58:03Lyot's wolf appeared with a mournful howl.

00:58:06Lyot's face twisted with a sudden realization.

00:58:08He gave me away.

00:58:10He could never get me back.

00:58:13In the morning, servants tossed my belongings into the courtyard.

00:58:16A lifetime, thrown away like trash.

00:58:19Once I'd been their beloved Alpha's mate.

00:58:21Now, I was nothing.

00:58:22They wouldn't even meet my eyes.

00:58:24Like their Alpha, they had a new mistress now.

00:58:27I'd planted medicinal herbs so I could take care of my five children and their father.

00:58:31And Rowena ordered every single plant torn up by its roots.

00:58:34Rip it all out.

00:58:35It's ugly.

00:58:36She watched with a cruel smile as my entire world was destroyed.

00:58:39My weeping children clung to me.

00:58:41They were being ripped away from the only home they'd ever known.

00:58:44Torn up by their roots.

00:58:46Just like my garden.

00:58:47Rowena's cold gaze fell upon the wooden toy Lyot had carved when the Cantuplets were born.

00:58:53The small wolf posed with its nose pointed to the air, howlowing.

00:58:57She picked it up with a snarl of disgust.

00:59:01Get rid of all this trash.

00:59:04She shattered the toy to splinters on the ground.

00:59:06My children wailed.

00:59:08I gathered them close.

00:59:09They were my entire life.

00:59:11Rowena.

00:59:12Rowena sneered at me.

00:59:14Enjoy the life you've stolen.

00:59:15I held my children close and jextured with a hand.

00:59:18I refused to be ashamed.

00:59:21Everything worth having will never be yours, Rowena.

00:59:24As night fell, I found myself outside the packhouse gates.

00:59:28The townsfolk who once threw flowers to celebrate the birth of the Alpha's heirs now gathered to whisper and gossip.

00:59:34Nobody offered to help us.

00:59:36Where will she go?

00:59:37Five children at this time of night?

00:59:40Who will take her in?

00:59:43Mama?

00:59:43The firstborn Quintipets, Benjamin, tugged my skirts.

00:59:48I'm sleepy.

00:59:49In my arms, Selafina whimpered, too tired to even lift her head from my shoulder.

00:59:55Suddenly, the blare of a warhorn echoed through the town's stone streets.

01:00:01Elite warriors on black warhorses galloped toward us.

01:00:06The captain dismounted and strode towards me.

01:00:09I gasped when the captain bowed in front of me.

01:00:13Rowena Omega, I've been sent to bring you home.

01:00:16He stepped aside to show the carriage waiting.

01:00:19Black as midnight, emblessed with the ancient runes of Blackclaw Pack.

01:00:24At Lycan King's estate, vines with thorns the size of my arm twisted through the closed iron gates.

01:00:31No lights welcomed us from the manor house.

01:00:33But when I stepped out of the carriage, the gates swung open.

01:00:36The thorns became blooming crimson roses.

01:00:39In the courtyard, dusty fountains spouted clear water.

01:00:43My children's eyes grew wide as they followed me to the manor house.

01:00:49A woman with a kind face invited us inside.

01:00:52The estate knows its true mistress has come home.

01:00:55It has never responded to anyone this way before.

01:00:58I gazed in awe at the beautiful home.

01:01:01Through a doorway, I saw a room with walls of books, maps, and military banners.

01:01:06Curiously, I stepped inside.

01:01:08I gasped at the enormous portrait of me and my kids hanging over the marble fireplace.

01:01:13I'd never seen it before, yet it captured all of us in perfect detail.

01:01:17Alexander pointed at the large desk.

01:01:20Look, Mama! Our toys!

01:01:22Five wooden wolves, identical to the one that Rowena had been destroyed, lined up on the desk.

01:01:28The woman who'd answered the door spoke quietly.

01:01:31Lycan King made those when they were born.

01:01:33I don't understand.

01:01:35My heart broke again when I realized Lyle had lied about carving the toys.

01:01:40Come, my dears. I have milk and bread for you.

01:01:45The woman led my kids away.

01:01:47Finn Blacklaw had been missing since the day his nephew bought me.

01:01:51So how had he carved wooden toys for my quintuplets?

01:01:54And why?

01:01:57I was shocked to see my name on a sealed letter.

01:02:00I tore it open.

01:02:01Finn's voice filled my head as I read it.

01:02:04Alina, if you found this letter, then my nephew has betrayed you.

01:02:07I always knew he would.

01:02:08Lyle believes possession equals love.

01:02:11One day, that mistake will cost him everything he holds valuable.

01:02:14My breath caught as I turned the page over.

01:02:16You deserve the truth.

01:02:18The day I saw you in the auction arena, I...

01:02:20A servant rushed in.

01:02:22My lady, the kids!

01:02:24What happened?

01:02:25Lady Rowena sent guards from the packhouse to take them back.

01:02:28At the packhouse, she stood over them.

01:02:30Be grateful I sent for you.

01:02:32You should live with your father, not your worthless mother.

01:02:35Benjamin, my bravest boy, clenched his fists.

01:02:39Our mama is the best in the world!

01:02:41Rowena yanked him upward, nearly lifting him off his feet.

01:02:44Your mother was tossed aside like the trash she is!

01:02:47My five kids inherited their father's strength.

01:02:49Their eyes blazed icy blue in unison.

01:02:53Their talons burst from their fingertips.

01:02:56Tiny fangs erupt.

01:02:57Fuzzy little wolf ears sprouted from the tops of their heads, twitching with each growl.

01:03:03Don't say bad things about mama!

01:03:07Edward growled.

01:03:08Rowena's two guard looked impressed.

01:03:10The heirs truly belong to the Alpha.

01:03:13Their bloodline is strong.

01:03:14She shoved Edward to her knees.

01:03:16Sebastian lunged in front of his baby sister, taking the guard's rough shove meant for her,

01:03:20shielding Serafina with his own small body.

01:03:22I shoved her aside.

01:03:24She raped her nails across my cheek, blood spattered.

01:03:28But I knelt in front of my penteplecs and gathered them close.

01:03:32Mama's here.

01:03:34Hush now.

01:03:36I wiped their tears.

01:03:38Suddenly a flare of crimson thread woven around my arm.

01:03:41A bond I didn't yet understand, reaching for me from somewhere far away.

01:03:46What's happening?

01:03:47Lyle strode with Alpha Grace toward us.

01:03:50Rowena's face turned pale.

01:03:51Her eyes widened.

01:03:53Lyle!

01:04:05The great hall of Blackclaw Castle was packed shoulder to shoulder.

01:04:09Nobles and warriors alike crowding the marble floor to witness the fall of their Alpha's mate.

01:04:14And I was the one on display.

01:04:16I gave you heirs.

01:04:17My voice was steady, but I was breaking.

01:04:20You can't throw me away like I mean nothing.

01:04:22I'm your mate!

01:04:24No, Elena.

01:04:25You're nothing.

01:04:30Lyle pulled Rowena closer.

01:04:32Another Omega, safe in his arms.

01:04:34While I could only watch.

01:04:36My fists clenched as memories flooded me.

01:04:39You chose me!

01:04:42Five years ago, the auction house reeked of sweat and fear.

01:04:46Rows of cages lined beneath flickering torchlight where Omegas were paraded like livestock before the highest bidder.

01:04:51Rough hands tore me from my glass cage.

01:04:54The guards pushed me into line with the other Omegas.

01:04:57I blinked beneath the bright lights while the bidders all gossiped.

01:05:01That one looks expensive.

01:05:04She'll breed fine pups.

01:05:05The blight that had left most female wolves barren in Blackclaw meant only Omegas could breed.

01:05:11I'd never dreamed the Blackclaw Alpha would take me as his own.

01:05:16I knelt beside the other Omegas.

01:05:19Lyle Blackclaw paced the row.

01:05:22His transparent wolf hovered behind him.

01:05:25We all knew the beast would have the final say.

01:05:29And I was the one they both chose.

01:05:32This one.

01:05:35The starting price for that one, my Alpha, is a million gold coins.

01:05:39The other bidders gasped.

01:05:41Nobody else dared to bid.

01:05:43Alpha Leiden's gaze burned deep into my soul.

01:05:47His wolf released a low howl.

01:05:50The crimson thread of the mate bond erupted from our fingertips

01:05:53and braided into the tight cord meant to bind us together.

01:05:56For eternity.

01:05:57The auctioneer slammed down his gaver.

01:06:01Shimmering gold coins cascaded from the sky.

01:06:04Salt!

01:06:05The servants rushed with wheelbarrows to haul away the pile of coins.

01:06:09Alpha Leiden helped me to my feet.

01:06:12He lifted my chin.

01:06:14I dared risk a smile.

01:06:16The moon goddess has blessed us.

01:06:18His low growl promised a lifetime of blessings.

01:06:20Every single one of them.

01:06:22Nothing but a lie.

01:06:24The great hall of Blackclaw Castle.

01:06:27You can't break the mate bond, Lyle.

01:06:31As Alpha of this pack, I do as I please.

01:06:39Rowena simpered.

01:06:41Diamonds glittered around her neck.

01:06:43But love cannot be measured in diamonds.

01:06:46Not even in words.

01:06:47It can only be measured in actions.

01:06:50Lyle addressed the crowd of nobles.

01:06:53Alina Omega is no longer my mate.

01:06:56Instead, I take.

01:06:59He kissed Rolina.

01:07:01I covered my mouth, eyes wide with grief.

01:07:05Everyone watched, waiting for me to shatter.

01:07:07I forced my hand down.

01:07:10Rowena Omega is my new mate.

01:07:16Lyle walked to stand a few inches from me.

01:07:19Your body provided me with five fine children.

01:07:22I've no more need for you.

01:07:23As the mother of my heirs, you'll be permitted to remain in the Blackclaw pack.

01:07:28But his eyes blazed icy blue.

01:07:32You're no longer my mate.

01:07:33Crimson cords entwined from our fingertips, but instantly snapped apart.

01:07:38I staggered.

01:07:39My hand gripped my heart.

01:07:41Lyle turned his back, unmoved by my pain.

01:07:44But my uncle has no mate.

01:07:46I'm giving you to him.

01:07:48His uncle?

01:07:49Finn Blackclaw?

01:07:50He is the true Lycan king.

01:07:52The most feared warrior.

01:07:54And the war god the Seven Territories once knelt to.

01:07:57That was before.

01:07:59When he vanished on the battlefield, Alpha Lyle took up the pack's throne in his stead.

01:08:04Goddess above.

01:08:05Did our Alpha really just hand her off to a man who'd vanished off the battlefield?

01:08:09And what of her five children?

01:08:11Poor little things.

01:08:13Motherless in all but blood.

01:08:15Fatherless in all but name.

01:08:17Every word landed like a stone.

01:08:19I grabbed Lyle's sleeve to stop him.

01:08:22He yanked free with Alpha strength.

01:08:24His blazing blue gaze pierced me to the core.

01:08:27But I didn't let go.

01:08:29Lyle.

01:08:30Finn Blackclaw disappeared in battle five years ago.

01:08:33His sneer of disgust broke me harder.

01:08:35He'd forgotten the nights of pleasure we shared.

01:08:38But I never would.

01:08:40Then you'll have the manor house to yourself.

01:08:43He returned to his new mate.

01:08:45I pictured Finn Blackclorn.

01:08:47Hair black as night.

01:08:48Gold, amber eyes.

01:08:50He'd been watching me the day Lyle bought me at the auction.

01:08:53Never looking away.

01:08:55And then he disappeared.

01:08:57Finn Blackcloth had paced the rows of glass cages in the Omega auction.

01:09:01His gray wolf loomed behind him.

01:09:04He studied me for hours.

01:09:06Never speaking.

01:09:08I'd trembled at the orange blaze in his eyes.

01:09:11I thought he'd bid on me.

01:09:13But after Lyle bought me, Finn disappeared.

01:09:16Rumors said he'd been slaughtered in battle.

01:09:20Rowena glared as I addressed Lyle in a hard, clear voice.

01:09:23If I'm to be tossed aside like trash.

01:09:26I demand our bond be stricken from the Blackclog register.

01:09:30Nobles murmured.

01:09:31The Elder stepped forward.

01:09:34Magic sparkled from her fingertips as a massive book appeared.

01:09:39Pages flipped to reveal our names in glimmering script.

01:09:50Alpha Lyot, you've broken the bond with Elena Omega.

01:09:54Your names will be stricken from the register,

01:09:56as demanded by the Moon Goddess for those who deny her blessings.

01:10:00It can never be restored.

01:10:02Lyot looked deeply into Rowena's eyes.

01:10:04Without even looking at me, Lyot barked out.

01:10:07Sever it, old woman.

01:10:08The gathered nobles gasped in shock.

01:10:11The Elder mimicked tearing the pages from the book.

01:10:13Hanging in the air, the letters of my name burned.

01:10:16As each letter turned to ash, I jerked with fresh agonies.

01:10:20I went to my knees, headbound.

01:10:21It is done!

01:10:23A vision appeared of my weeping four-year-old cantelots.

01:10:26Benjamin, Edward, Alexander, Sebastian, and little Seraphina.

01:10:32Their eyes blazed the same as their father's.

01:10:35My name again.

01:10:36But this time, I was joined with Finn.

01:10:38It's done.

01:10:39When our Lycan king returns from the war, the mating shall be completed.

01:10:43Hushed voices murmured.

01:10:45I staggered upright.

01:10:46Tears streaked my cheeks.

01:10:47The book vanished in a flash of crimson and gold sparks.

01:10:51Lyot's wolf appeared with a mournful howl.

01:10:54Lyot's face twisted with a sudden realization.

01:10:57He gave me away.

01:10:58He could never get me back.

01:15:16At the packhouse, she stood over them.

01:15:19Be grateful I sent for you.

01:15:20You should live with your father.

01:15:22Not your worthless mother.

01:15:24Benjamin, my bravest boy, clenched his fists.

01:15:27Our mama is the best in the world!

01:15:41Their talons burst from their fingertips.

01:15:44Tiny fangs erupt.

01:15:45Fuzzy little wolf ears sprouted from the tops of their heads,

01:15:49twitching with each growl.

01:15:51Don't say bad things about mama!

01:15:55Edward growled.

01:15:57Rowena's two guard looked impressed.

01:15:59The heirs truly belong to the Alpha.

01:16:01Their bloodline is strong.

01:16:02She shoved Edward to her knees.

01:16:04Sebastian lunged in front of his baby sister,

01:16:06taking the guard's rough shove meant for her,

01:16:08shielding Serafina with his own small body.

01:16:11I shoved her aside.

01:16:12She raped her nails across my cheek, blood spattered.

01:16:16But I knelt in front of my penteplecs and gathered them close.

01:16:21Mama's here.

01:16:22Hush now.

01:16:24I wiped their tears.

01:16:26Suddenly a flare of crimson thread woven around my arm.

01:16:29A bond I didn't yet understand, reaching for me from somewhere far away.

01:16:34What's happening?

01:16:35Lyle strode with Alpha grace toward us.

01:16:38Rowena's face turned pale.

01:16:39Her eyes widened.

01:16:41Lyle!

01:16:53The great hall of Blackclaw Castle was packed shoulder to shoulder.

01:16:57Nobles and warriors alike crowding the marble floor

01:17:00to witness the fall of their Alpha's mate.

01:17:02And I was the one on display.

01:17:04I gave you airs.

01:17:05My voice was steady, but I was breaking.

01:17:08You can't throw me away like I mean nothing.

01:17:10I'm your mate!

01:17:11No, Elena.

01:17:13You're nothing.

01:17:18Lyle pulled Rowena closer.

01:17:20Another Omega, safe in his arms.

01:17:22While I could only watch.

01:17:24My fists clenched as memories flooded me.

01:17:27You chose me!

01:17:30Five years ago, the auction house reeked of sweat and fear.

01:17:34Rows of cages lined beneath flickering torchlight

01:17:36where Omegas were paraded like livestock before the highest bidder.

01:17:39Rough hands tore me from my glass cage.

01:17:42The guards pushed me into line with the other Omegas.

01:17:46I blinked beneath the bright lights while the bidders all gossiped.

01:17:53The blight that had left most female wolves barren in Blackclaw meant only Omegas could breed.

01:17:59I'd never dreamed the Blackclaw Alpha would take me as his own.

01:18:04I knelt beside the other Omegas.

01:18:07Lyle Blackclaw paced the row.

01:18:10His transparent wolf hovered behind him.

01:18:13We all knew the beast would have the final say.

01:18:17And I was the one they both chose.

01:18:20This one.

01:18:23The starting price for that one, my Alpha, is a million gold coins.

01:18:27The other bidders gasped.

01:18:29Nobody else dared to bid.

01:18:31Alpha Leiden's gaze burned deep into my soul.

01:18:35His wolf released a low howl.

01:18:38The crimson thread of the mate bond erupted from our fingertips

01:18:41and braided into the tight cord meant to bind us together for eternity.

01:18:46The auctioneer slammed down his gavern.

01:18:49Shimmering gold coins cascaded from the sky.

01:18:52Salt!

01:18:53The servants rushed with wheelbarrows to haul away the pile of coins.

01:18:57Alpha Leiden helped me to my feet.

01:19:00He lifted my chin.

01:19:01I dared risk a smile.

01:19:04The moon goddess has blessed us.

01:19:06His low growl promised a lifetime of blessings.

01:19:08Every single one of them.

01:19:10Nothing but a lie.

01:19:12The great hall of Blackclaw Castle.

01:19:15You can't break the mate bond, Lyle.

01:19:19As Alpha of this pack, I do as I please.

01:19:27Rowena simpered.

01:19:29Diamonds glittered around her neck.

01:19:31But love cannot be measured in diamonds.

01:19:34Not even in words.

01:19:35It can only be measured in actions.

01:19:38Lyle addressed the crowd of nobles.

01:19:41Elina Omega is no longer my mate.

01:19:44Instead, I take.

01:19:48He kissed Rolina.

01:19:49I covered my mouth, eyes wide with grief.

01:19:53Everyone watched, waiting for me to shatter.

01:19:56I forced my hand down.

01:19:58Rowena Omega is my new mate.

01:20:04Lyle walked to stand a few inches from me.

01:20:07Your body provided me with five fine children.

01:20:10I've no more need for you.

01:20:12As the mother of my heirs, you'll be permitted to remain in the Blackclaw pack.

01:20:16But, his eyes blazed icy blue.

01:20:20You're no longer my mate.

01:20:21Crimson cords entwined from our fingertips, but instantly snapped apart.

01:20:26I staggered.

01:20:27My hand gripped my heart.

01:20:29Lyle turned his back, unmoved by my pain.

01:20:32But, my uncle has no mate.

01:20:34I'm giving you to him.

01:20:36His uncle?

01:20:37Finn Blackclaw?

01:20:38He is the true Lycan king.

01:20:40The most feared warrior.

01:20:42And the war god the Seven Territories once knelt to.

01:20:45That was before.

01:20:47When he vanished on the battlefield, Alpha Lyle took up the pack's throne in his stead.

01:20:52Goddess above.

01:20:53Did our Alpha really just hand her off to a man who'd vanished off the battlefield?

01:20:57And what of her five children?

01:20:59Poor little things.

01:21:02Motherless in all but blood.

01:21:03Fatherless in all but name.

01:21:05Every word landed like a stone.

01:21:07I grabbed Lyle's sleeve to stop him.

01:21:10He yanked free with Alpha strength.

01:21:12His blazing blue gaze pierced me to the core, but I didn't let go.

01:21:17Lyle, Finn Blackclaw disappeared in battle five years ago!

01:21:21His sneer of disgust broke me harder.

01:21:23He'd forgotten the nights of pleasure we shared, but I never would.

01:21:28Then you'll have the manor house to yourself.

01:21:31He returned to his new mate.

01:21:33I pictured Finn Blackclorn.

01:21:35Hair black as night.

01:21:37Amber eyes.

01:21:38He'd been watching me the day Lyle bought me at the auction, never looking away.

01:21:43And then he'd disappeared.

01:21:45Finn Blackcloth had paced the rows of glass cages in the Omega auction.

01:21:50His gray wolf loomed behind him.

01:21:52He studied me for hours, never speaking.

01:21:56I'd trembled at the orange blaze in his eyes.

01:21:59I thought he'd bid on me.

01:22:01But after Lyle bought me, Finn disappeared.

01:22:04Rumors said he'd been slaughtered in battle.

01:22:08Rowena glared as I addressed Lyle in a hard, clear voice.

01:22:11If I'm to be tossed aside like trash.

01:22:14I demand our bond be stricken from the Blackclog register.

01:22:18Nobles murmured.

01:22:19The Elder stepped forward.

01:22:23Magic sparkled from her fingertips as a massive book appeared.

01:22:27Pages flipped to reveal our names in glimmering script.

01:22:38Alpha Lyot, you've broken the bond with Elena Omega.

01:22:42Your names will be stricken from the register, as demanded by the Moon Goddess for those who

01:22:47deny her blessings.

01:22:48It can never be restored.

01:22:50Lyot looked deeply into Rowena's eyes.

01:22:53Without even looking at me, Lyot barked out.

01:22:55Sever it, old woman.

01:22:56The gathered nobles gasped in shock.

01:22:59The Elder mimicked tearing the pages from the book.

01:23:01Hanging in the air, the letters of my name burned.

01:23:04As each letter turned to ash, I jerked with fresh agonies.

01:23:08I went to my knees, headbound.

01:23:09It is done!

01:23:11A vision appeared of my weeping four-year-old cantelots.

01:23:14Benjamin, Edward, Alexander, Sebastian, and little Seraphina.

01:23:20Their eyes blazed the same as their father's.

01:23:23My name again.

01:23:24But this time, I was joined with Finn.

01:23:26It's done.

01:23:27When our Lycan king returns from the war, the mating shall be completed.

01:23:31Hushed voices murmured.

01:23:33I staggered upright.

01:23:34Tears streaked my cheeks.

01:23:36The book vanished in a flash of crimson and gold sparks.

01:23:39Lyot's wolf appeared with a mournful howl.

01:23:42Lyot's face twisted with a sudden realization.

01:23:45He gave me away.

01:23:46He could never get me back.

01:23:49In the morning, servants tossed my belongings into the courtyard.

01:23:52A lifetime, thrown away like trash.

01:23:55Once I'd been their beloved Alpha's mate.

01:23:57Now, I was nothing.

01:23:58They wouldn't even meet my eyes.

01:24:00Like their Alpha, they had a new mistress now.

01:24:03I'd planted medicinal herbs so I could take care of my five children and their father.

01:24:07And Rowena ordered every single plant torn up by its roots.

01:24:10Rip it all out.

01:24:11It's ugly.

01:24:12She watched with a cruel smile as my entire world was destroyed.

01:24:15My weeping children clung to me.

01:24:17They were being ripped away from the only home they'd ever known.

01:24:21Torn up by their roots, just like my garden.

01:24:24Rowena's cold gaze fell upon the wooden toy Lyot had carved when the Cantuplets were born.

01:24:29The small wolf posed with its nose pointed to the air, howlowing.

01:24:33She picked it up with a snarl of disgust.

01:24:37Get rid of all this trash.

01:24:40She shattered the toy to splinters on the ground.

01:24:43My children wailed.

01:24:44I gathered them close.

01:24:45They were my entire life.

01:24:47Rowena.

01:24:49Rowena sneered at me.

01:24:50Enjoy the life you've stolen.

01:24:52I held my children close and jextured the hand.

01:24:54I refused to be ashamed.

01:24:57Everything worth having will never be yours, Rowena.

01:25:00As night fell, I found myself outside the packhouse gates.

01:25:04The townsfolk who once threw flowers to celebrate the birth of the Alpha's heirs

01:25:08now gathered to whisper and gossip.

01:25:10Nobody offered to help us.

01:25:12Where will she go?

01:25:13Five children at this time of night?

01:25:16Who will take her in?

01:25:19Mama?

01:25:20The firstborn Quintipets, Benjamin, tugged my skirts.

01:25:24I'm sleepy.

01:25:25In my arms, Selafina whimpered, too tired to even lift her head from my shoulder.

01:25:31Suddenly, the blare of a warhorn echoed through the town's stone streets.

01:25:37Elite warriors on black warhorses galloped toward us.

01:25:42The captain dismounted and strode towards me.

01:25:45I gasped when the captain bowed in front of me.

01:25:49Elino Omega, I've been sent to bring you home.

01:25:52He stepped aside to show the carriage waiting.

01:25:55Black as midnight, emblessed with the ancient runes of Blackclaw Pack.

01:26:00At Lycan King's estate, vines with thorns the size of my arm twisted through the closed iron gates.

01:26:07No lights welcomed us from the manor house.

01:26:09But when I stepped out of the carriage, the gates swung open.

01:26:13The thorns became blooming crimson roses.

01:26:15In the courtyard, dusty fountains spouted clear water.

01:26:20My children's eyes grew wide as they followed me to the manor house.

01:26:25A woman with a kind face invited us inside.

01:26:28The estate knows its true mistress has come home.

01:26:31It has never responded to anyone this way before.

01:26:34I gazed in awe at the beautiful home.

01:26:37Through a doorway, I saw a room with walls of books, maps, and military banners.

01:26:42Curiously, I stepped inside.

01:26:44I gasped at the enormous portrait of me and my kids hanging over the marble fireplace.

01:26:49I'd never seen it before, yet it captured all of us in perfect detail.

01:26:53Alexander pointed at the large desk.

01:26:56Look, Mama! Our toys!

01:26:58Five wooden wolves, identical to the one that Rowena had been destroyed, lined up on the desk.

01:27:04The woman who'd answered the door spoke quietly.

01:27:07Lycan King made those when they were born.

01:27:09I... I don't understand.

01:27:12My heart broke again when I realized Lyle had lied about carving the toys.

01:27:16Come, my dears. I have milk and bread for you.

01:27:21The woman led my kids away.

01:27:23Finn Blackclaw had been missing since the day his nephew bought me.

01:27:27So how had he carved wooden toys for my quintuplets?

01:27:30And why?

01:27:33I was shocked to see my name on a sealed letter.

01:27:36I tore it open.

01:27:37Finn's voice filled my head as I read it.

01:27:40Alina, if you found this letter, then my nephew has betrayed you.

01:27:43I always knew he would.

01:27:45Lyle believes possession equals love.

01:27:47One day, that mistake will cost him everything he holds valuable.

01:27:50My breath caught as I turned the page over.

01:27:53You deserve the truth.

01:27:54The day I saw you in the auction arena, I...

01:27:56A servant rushed in.

01:27:58My lady, the kids!

01:28:00What happened?

01:28:01Lady Rowena sent guards from the packhouse to take them back.

01:28:04At the packhouse, she stood over them.

01:28:07Be grateful I sent for you.

01:28:08You should live with your father, not your worthless mother.

01:28:12Benjamin, my bravest boy, clenched his fists.

01:28:15Our mama is the best in the world!

01:28:17Rowena yanked him upward, nearly lifting him off his feet.

01:28:20Your mother was tossed aside like the trash she is!

01:28:23My five kids inherited their father's strength.

01:28:26Their eyes blazed icy blue in unison.

01:28:29Their talons burst from their fingertips.

01:28:32Tiny fangs erupt.

01:28:33Fuzzy little wolf ears sprouted from the tops of their heads, twitching with each growl.

01:28:39Don't say bad things about mama!

01:28:43Edward growled.

01:28:44Rowena's two guard looked impressed.

01:28:47The heirs truly belong to the Alpha.

01:28:49Their bloodline is strong.

01:28:50She shoved Edward to her knees.

01:28:52Sebastian lunged in front of his baby sister, taking the guard's rough shove meant for her,

01:28:56shielding Serafina with his own small body.

01:28:59I shoved her aside.

01:29:01She raped her nails across my cheek.

01:29:03Blood spattered.

01:29:04But I knelt in front of my pentepleks and gathered them close.

01:29:09Mama's here.

01:29:10Hush now.

01:29:11I wiped their tears.

01:29:14Suddenly a flare of crimson thread woven around my arm.

01:29:17A bond I didn't yet understand, reaching for me from somewhere far away.

01:29:22What's happening?

01:29:23Lyle strode with Alpha Grace toward us.

01:29:26Rowena's face turned pale.

01:29:27Her eyes widened.

01:29:29Lyle!

01:29:30Amen.o

01:29:35You
