Short filmTranscript
00:00Soon, you will be a rogue, because you will never find a mate.
00:06Adam.
00:08I don't think Adam was the right one for you.
00:11A second chance mate could be even better.
00:14You deserve somebody who takes as good care of you as I do.
00:18We don't have any more time.
00:20She needs to be our mate when Prince Killian arrives.
00:23Krystal, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but here with you.
00:28I can't.
00:30He's my cousin.
00:51Look, that's the one without a wolf.
00:55How can she deserve such a party?
01:01Well, well, well.
01:05Look who finally graces us with her presence.
01:08The princess herself.
01:10Rachel, I thought you couldn't be bothered to come.
01:13Oh, relax Krystal. I come in peace.
01:19What do you want?
01:23I just want to congratulate you.
01:26And, I can't wait to see your wolf.
01:30Wow, I didn't realize you were so interested in my wolf.
01:35Are you ready to shift?
01:39Oh, seems like maybe not.
01:43That would be big news.
01:45It'd be the first wolf I've ever seen who couldn't shift on their 18th birthday.
01:49Shocking, right?
01:52It will be big news when I get my wolf.
01:55We'll see.
01:58She doesn't have to prove anything to you.
02:02Theo!
02:04Why don't you find someone else to be concerned about?
02:08Happy birthday, Krystal.
02:10I thought you couldn't come.
02:11It was supposed to be a surprise.
02:13Forgive me.
02:16Oh, Theo Blakefield.
02:20What an honor to finally meet in person.
02:22I guess I should be honored.
02:25What brings you here?
02:27I thought you were smart. Can't you tell?
02:33You lucky girl.
02:36Excuse us.
02:39Enjoy the party.
02:44You too, Krystal.
02:46I hope you have a ball.
02:56So, how long are you here?
03:00As long as you'd like, birthday girl.
03:03That's the best gift you could possibly get me.
03:06Always busy Alpha Theo.
03:08Don't you dare talk to me like that.
03:13How come you've never visited me?
03:16You know I'm still in the middle of training.
03:18I need to focus.
03:19Is that what this is all about?
03:21Focus?
03:23Did I distract you that much?
03:26No, I mean, you didn't do it on purpose.
03:31Moon Goddess, I confess my crime.
03:35I've distracted Krystal Spear so much,
03:39she's unable to focus on her training.
03:41So I pledge to not get in the way of Krystal
03:45so she can focus all of her efforts on training.
03:49That's not what I'm asking for.
03:52I'm at your command.
03:54What would you like me to do?
03:59Theo, you're always my best...
04:03cousin.
04:06That's all I could ever ask for.
04:08I understand.
04:11You don't have to say anything.
04:13I'm happy you're here.
04:15I am always happy to see you, Theo.
04:18I got you another birthday gift.
04:21A real one.
04:22Wait here.
04:23I'll go and get it.
04:31Warwick?
04:32I can't.
04:33Prince Killian is coming to Adam's Alpha Ceremony in three days.
04:37I think it's time that we tell Prince Killian about Krystal.
04:43No.
04:44No, I thought we already settled on this, Alina.
04:48No, we have to keep this a secret.
04:50What if he finds out himself?
04:52She's turning 18 and you can't hide it anymore.
04:56How would he find out unless we spill it?
04:59The only people who know the truth are the two of us.
05:02When I got her, I promised that I would take care of her to the day I die.
05:07She's my daughter.
05:09She always will be.
05:11Warwick, I understand how you feel.
05:15I watched her grow up like you did.
05:17I just don't know how it's going to work this time.
05:20I heard Prince Killian has a keen sense of smell.
05:25We still have three days.
05:28I'll figure this out, okay?
05:30But this is our only choice, Alina.
05:34Do you know what would happen if Prince Killian found out who she really is?
05:38Do you?
05:43It could start a war.
05:48You look gorgeous tonight.
05:53How could you spend the night without me, beautiful?
05:56It wasn't my idea to invite you.
05:58Oh, it came anyway.
06:00Happy 18th birthday, Crystal.
06:04Thanks.
06:05It would be a lot happier if you left me alone.
06:08Oh, I can't do that.
06:10I have to see this brand new wolf you got.
06:13Oh, I can't do that.
06:15I have to see this brand new wolf you got.
06:17I bet it's just as gorgeous as you.
06:20Sorry to disappoint you.
06:22No need to apologize to me.
06:25You are the first person I've ever seen who can't get their wolf before their 18th birthday.
06:30How does that make you feel?
06:32How am I supposed to feel?
06:33Ashamed.
06:34Ashamed for what?
06:35Ashamed that you're still this weak after all the training you've had.
06:40Adam, I didn't realize you were the authority on strength.
06:46Maybe you should focus on your own weaknesses.
06:48Yeah, I don't need advice from someone who can't even shift yet.
06:51Save your insults, Adam.
06:54Prince Killian will be here soon.
06:56We'll see if you're strong enough to be Alpha.
07:05Could you be nicer to her?
07:07It's her birthday.
07:08Mom, I just wanted to see if she's gotten her wolf yet, which clearly she hasn't.
07:12I can't tell you everything, but you will understand that she's not as weak as you thought.
07:19Go apologize to her. Now.
07:29My mom wanted me to apologize to you.
07:31As if you would ever listen to her.
07:33I just don't know what she sees in you.
07:35You're such a lay bloomer.
07:37Leave me alone, Adam.
07:39Moon's already high in the sky.
07:41Do you feel your wolf? Anything?
07:45What do you want?
07:46I want to know your secret, Crystal.
07:48I want to know if you have any potential at all.
08:01Adam, I can't believe we're fated mate.
08:05No, this is all wrong.
08:07What? Are you questioning Moon Goddess's will?
08:13You can't be my mate.
08:16You cannot be the Luna of the fucking pack.
08:28Attention, everyone.
08:30I have an announcement to make.
08:32Thank you all so much for coming out tonight to celebrate with us.
08:35And I'm beyond excited to announce that Adam and I are fated mates.
08:40And I am the future Luna of the pack.
08:44Congrats for being the next Luna of the pack.
08:49No, that's a lie.
08:51Don't be jealous, Crystal.
08:53I'm not dying to be Adam's mate, like you are.
08:56Kind of seems like it.
08:58Well, congrats to the two of you.
09:00If you think Prince Killian is stupid enough to believe that the two of you are fated mates.
09:05I don't know if Prince Killian is an idiot or not.
09:10What I do know is that soon, you will be a rogue.
09:14Because you will never find a mate.
09:19Why don't you worry about yourself, miss?
09:23Please forgive me, I've never heard of your family pack name before.
09:27Which is probably why you want to mate with the future Alpha of Crescent Moon pack.
09:36Why are they acting like this? They're cousins?
09:42I have another surprise for you.
09:48Oh, my moon goddess. It's beautiful.
09:52No, no, I can't. It's too expensive.
09:54Crystal, remember you said the blood moon was your favorite gem?
09:58You couldn't even move last time you saw it.
10:03I can't believe you remember that.
10:07Do you know why I got you a bracelet?
10:09Why?
10:10Because I know how important your birthstone means to you.
10:15You would never take it off.
10:17And everyone should wear their mate's ring.
10:21I know I didn't stand a chance, so I got you a bracelet.
10:27Theo, thank you.
10:30I...
10:34I have to go talk to Adam.
10:36Hey.
10:38If anything happens, you're always welcome in my pack.
10:43Just come back, okay?
10:52Rachel.
10:59How could you lie like that in front of everyone? Rachel is not your fated mate. I am!
11:04I don't have a choice.
11:06So even if I am your fated mate, you're still rejecting me?
11:09I am the future Alpha of the Crescent Moon pack.
11:12I can't risk being with someone who isn't strong enough to be the future Luna.
11:16I can't believe you think I'm not good enough for you.
11:19The Rogues just attacked the Nightwalker pack.
11:21It's the third in a row and we could be next.
11:23I need someone who can lead us. Somebody strong.
11:27But it's the Moon Goddess's will. We can't ignore it.
11:31Hell with the Moon Goddess. I will never accept a weakling like you.
11:36A weakling who hasn't even gotten her wolf.
11:39I tried to give you a chance, Crystal.
11:41I wanted to see if you could shift tonight.
11:45But I guess you're just not ready.
11:48Fine. You're right.
11:52I'll do it for the pack, not for my own happiness.
11:57I, Adam Hopkins, future Alpha of the Crescent Moon pack, reject you.
12:06I, Crystal Sphere of the Crescent Moon pack, accept your rejection.
12:17I, Adam Hopkins, future Alpha of the Crescent Moon pack, reject you.
12:22Father, can I talk to you?
12:24Yes. Nice talking to you.
12:28What's wrong?
12:29I want to go stay with Theo. I haven't seen him since I started training.
12:35It's not a good time, Crystal.
12:38Rogue attacks are growing, especially on the way to his pack.
12:43No, I don't want anything to happen to you.
12:45Father, please. I'll be fine.
12:47Besides, you're in the middle of training. No, you stay with us until you finish it.
12:52But wouldn't it be better for my training if I stayed with Theo? He has one of the best wolves in the country.
12:58No wonder you haven't finished your training. You've got to focus. You're not a child anymore.
13:02That's not fair. You know how hard I work. I bet I train harder than anyone in Crescent Moon pack.
13:09Okay. Then prove it to me. If you've worked so hard, why haven't you shifted tonight?
13:15I just don't feel it. But it's coming soon.
13:19I'm sorry. No. No. You can't go anywhere until you finish your training.
13:26Breathe.
13:37I can't believe I lost my first chance at a mate. How will I ever get a second?
13:52Here you are, always showing up unexpectedly.
13:55Well, I come whenever you're really in trouble or confused.
14:00Could you at least give me some warning?
14:02You should be grateful I came here to comfort you.
14:06You can't just show up and talk to me anytime you want. We have to keep it a secret, remember?
14:14Fine. I'll be more careful. I came to tell you I don't think Adam was the right one for you.
14:21A second chance mate could be even better.
14:25I don't know. I'm losing everything. I lost my first chance at a mate. I couldn't shift tonight.
14:35You know why you can't shift, right?
14:38No. No, I don't.
14:40You're in denial. My dear, listen to your inner voice.
14:52No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I can't. He's my cousin.
15:16Leo?
15:18Hey.
15:22I looked everywhere and couldn't find you. I figured you just needed some space.
15:27I have something to tell you.
15:30Go on.
15:32I've changed my mind. I want to come stay with you.
15:35Crystal, that's great news. How should we train? You know, I do have access to the strongest world.
15:42Sorry, Theo. I'm not just coming to train. I'm coming for something more important.
15:52I lost my first chance at a mate. Adam rejected me.
15:57That's unfortunate. So you're coming to my pack to find a new mate?
16:04Yes. I have to find my second chance mate outside of this pack.
16:10I'm sorry, Crystal. You can't join our pack.
16:14Why? Do you also think I'm not good enough?
16:17No.
16:18For anyone in your pack?
16:19Crystal, that's not it. I just, I can't talk about this, okay?
16:24Help me. Please. You know what could happen if I don't find a mate. I could go rogue.
16:31You're not coming to our pack, Crystal.
16:37I can't believe this. Theo, how could you be so cruel to me?
16:42Because the thought of you mating with someone else makes me sick.
16:59There's something off about Rachel. I can sense it.
17:02Are you sure about this, Adam? Bringing her into the pack?
17:05That's the problem. Are you questioning the Moon Goddess's wisdom?
17:09I don't trust her.
17:11Do you just have a problem with her? Because of Crystal?
17:17Well, I have to admit, I don't think she's better than my sister. Not at all.
17:21But besides that, I don't like her plans for our pack. They're unnerving, and you know it.
17:27She is the future Luna. Why would she ever do anything to harm us?
17:31Can't you see? She's trying to provoke us into a war with Nightwalker Pack. There is no victory in strife.
17:38William, I'm going to ask you a question, and I want you to think very carefully before you answer.
17:43Are you questioning my judgment?
17:50I'm just saying, you should give it a second thought.
17:54My decisions are not up for debate.
17:58If you are not loyal to the future Luna of this pack, then you are out.
18:04You've changed, Adam. What caused this?
18:14I guess this is just what it takes to be the Alpha.
18:19I've known you for years, Adam. Only now do I see how blind you really are.
18:24Why?
18:26I don't think you're ready to be the Alpha.
18:28Watch what you say, William.
18:31And never, not for one second, forget who you're talking to.
18:46Brother, they're here.
18:47There's something wrong with these rugs. I've never seen them like this. They're too pale. Stay here.
18:52Let me help.
18:53You're too weak to fight them. I can't risk you getting hurt.
18:57Get your paw off him.
19:05She's too powerful. Run!
19:14She got her wolf. And it's powerful.
19:20Where the hell did they come from? I've never seen them before.
19:25Me neither. They're so much stronger than I thought.
19:29Crystal, you should have never joined the fight. It's too dangerous for us.
19:35I can't just sit there and watch the two of you get attacked by those filthy rogues.
19:40William and Adam will be experienced enough to beat them, but you are not.
19:45I can't risk you getting hurt, and neither can your father.
19:48Crystal, you have to go to Theo's Pack. You have to find a mate.
19:54No! I won't just leave you all here in danger. Please, let me help.
20:00I won't go to Theo's Pack until I know all the rogues are cleared.
20:03The only thing you will do by helping is put yourself in danger.
20:08I just won the fight.
20:11That was lucky. You haven't even shifted yet.
20:15Go. Find your mate. And when you can, shift.
20:19If you want to protect us, this will be the only way to do it.
20:33Tonight's your big night, my love.
20:36Yeah. Big night.
20:39So how should we celebrate? Do you like what I did last night?
20:45No.
20:51What's going on?
20:54Why are you acting like I don't exist?
20:56Not in the mood for that, Rachel.
20:58Fine. Be that way.
21:04What an arrogant bitch.
21:07What's your problem?
21:09Nothing. It's just nerves.
21:11I've known you for years, Adam. Clearly it's not just nerves.
21:15What's going on?
21:20It's not Rachel.
21:22Then what is it?
21:27It's Crystal.
21:30So now you regret rejecting my sister. Unfortunately for you,
21:34I think she's a little bit too popular to accept your apology.
21:38What's there to regret? She's not enough to be the Luna of this pack.
21:43Tell me, William, what's it like to have a weakling for a sister?
21:49Watch your mouth, Adam.
21:53Or is being a weakling genetic?
21:56You think you're the strongest, huh?
21:58Who beat the rogues in the forest?
22:01Where were you then?
22:03Easy, William.
22:05Remember, after today, you're going to be calling me Alpha Adam.
22:13And I'm going to be calling you Beta.
22:16The ceremony is about to begin.
22:19We need some final touches.
22:35Elena? Oh, I thought you were Elena.
22:39What are you doing here?
22:41You know why I'm here.
22:42Sorry, I don't.
22:43Don't play games with me.
22:45I don't know what you're talking about.
22:47I don't know what you did to Adam.
22:51But it seems he can't stop staring at you.
22:54It seems he's fixated on the wrong wolf.
22:57A Beta one.
22:59Sounds like you guys are having some pre-marriage crisis.
23:04That's not my problem.
23:05Stop seducing my mate!
23:07Sorry, I'm not responsible for your lack of charm.
23:15You are rejected.
23:17Crystal, I am the future Luna.
23:21You better show me some respect.
23:23Congratulations.
23:25I'm not attracted to Adam, and I don't care to be Luna.
23:30You better show me some respect.
23:35You don't deserve my respect.
23:43Oh, come on.
23:44Is that really all you got?
23:47I thought there might be something more in there.
23:50You can't beat me.
23:52You have no wolf.
23:55Ah!
24:00You have a wolf?
24:10Take it as a warning.
24:21Ah!
24:27Why didn't you tell me you had a wolf?
24:29Excuse me?
24:30Rachel told me everything.
24:32I saw the scratch on her.
24:33That came from a powerful wolf.
24:36Didn't you just reject me because I was not powerful enough?
24:40Don't play with me.
24:42She attacked me.
24:44I would have never laid a finger on her if she hadn't done it.
24:46So you do have a wolf.
24:48Congrats, Sherlock, for figuring out the secret finally.
24:52Why didn't you tell me before?
24:54Because she's too powerful.
24:57A dangerous beast.
25:00I have to keep her away from those weak little things like you.
25:04Stop playing with me.
25:12See?
25:13You can't even handle her.
25:15You know what, future Alpha?
25:18I won't even bow down to you.
25:21Let alone Rachel.
25:24I would never apologize to that arrogant bitch.
25:50Who's there?
25:56Back off!
25:58Are you okay?
26:00It's not the end of the world.
26:03God.
26:04I shouldn't have let you come here alone.
