00:00So what, you tricked me into being your Luna by pretending there was something between us?
00:05I never pretend-
00:08Get your emotions in check.
00:10Well, if I'm nothing to you, then you're nothing to me.
00:13Look-
00:14Get out of my room, you feral dog!
00:18Why did you call me?
00:20You heard me.
00:21If I'm a weak little bunny, then you're a disgusting dog.
00:27I will never love you.
00:30I love you.
00:38How am I supposed to live like this?
00:51Ah, how wonderful of you to join us.
00:54The chef made you a plate.
00:57Actually, I was thinking of grabbing something from the bakery in town.
01:01Vincent, you heard her.
01:02Copy that. I'll take her.
01:04An escort? Seriously?
01:07What? You think I'd let you out on your own?
01:10The day of the claiming ceremony?
01:12Because you've earned my trust or something, yeah?
01:16And I thought Grandfather was overprotective.
01:19Goddess, he's such a wiseass!
01:27Beep, beep.
01:32I hate not being able to go to school today.
01:35I don't want to carry the secret anymore.
01:46Your dress for the claiming ceremony.
01:53Well, this is it.
01:56Ooh.
02:09Where is she? The ceremony is about to begin.
02:12Patience, Elder Frederick.
02:14This is already a disaster.
02:16I mean, this is Trinity Witton. She's basically powerless.
02:21How can we expect her to be the new Luna?
02:26Shh.
02:39Welcome, Red Springs Wolf Pack.
02:42Today we are here to celebrate a momentous occasion.
02:46Our pack has found its Luna.
02:50She is here tonight, and I will bring her out now to mark her before you all.
02:56Ooh.
03:12Why can't he look at me?
03:15He must think I'm ugly.
03:19Goddess, help me.
03:22I need her.
03:26Are you ready?
03:29I think so.
03:33Wereladies and weremen of the Red Springs Pack,
03:36I now present to you our Luna, Trinity Witton.
03:44It was going to be one of us. I know. I'm going to say something.
03:51No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
03:54I refuse to accept this.
03:57She doesn't even have her wolf yet.
03:59Do you really expect us to take her as our leader?
04:02This is insane!
04:03Yeah, come on guys, say something!
04:05She doesn't deserve it!
04:07What is she doing?
04:09We need to get Trinity to safety if they revolt.
04:11I knew this wouldn't go well.
04:17Fools!
04:21She may not have a wolf,
04:23but she is my chosen Luna.
04:26The Goddess has spoken and we must respect the fate.
04:29It is time.
04:35Are you ready?
04:39I'm going to be gentle, but try not to scream.
04:41This is it. The end of my life.
04:54Are you alright?
04:57I'm fine.
05:24Hey.
05:30I can't stand how much I want her.
05:32I just wanted to check on you. I know the ceremony was rough.
05:36I told you they wouldn't accept me.
05:38I'm still the disgrace they think I am.
05:40Screw them, alright? You're their Luna now.
05:43They have to bow down to you no matter what they believe.
05:46I'm sorry.
05:48Screw them, alright? You're their Luna now.
05:50They have to bow down to you no matter what they believe.
05:54Can I come in?
05:57Yeah.
06:05Just looking at him makes me nervous.
06:07He's so handsome.
06:13I should have never trusted her.
06:19Look.
06:21Before you get any ideas about what's going to happen tonight, let's set something straight.
06:24Like what?
06:26Like how this is going to go.
06:28You may be my mate, but in name only.
06:30Excuse me?
06:32I never wanted a mate, alright?
06:34But if the Goddess demands I take you, fine.
06:37But we will never be intimate.
06:39Alright?
06:41You're merely an assignment to me.
06:43Is that understood?
06:45What? You tricked me into being your Luna by pretending there was something between us?
06:50I never pretend...
06:53Get your emotions in check.
06:55Well, if I'm nothing to you, then you're nothing to me.
06:58Look...
06:59Get out of my room, you feral dog!
07:03Why did you call me?
07:05You heard me.
07:06If I'm a weak little bunny, then you're a disgusting dog.
07:12I will never love you.
07:15Never.
07:23How am I supposed to live like this?
07:27Vincent, can't you wait in the car?
07:29Everyone's watching.
07:31No, I can't, Luna.
07:35Hey, that's my friend and I'd really like to talk to her in private.
07:38Can you give us some space?
07:41Of course, Luna.
07:42Please, take your time.
07:46Trinity!
07:50Holy Goddess, you're the freaking Luna Trin!
07:52Shh! Yes, trust me, I know.
07:54What's it like? What's the elf's personality like? Is his body insane?
07:58After the ceremony, did you two, you know?
08:01No.
08:02What? Wait, let me see your mark at least.
08:04Oh, no, no, no!
08:06It hasn't formed yet.
08:09I always liked how mine had these cool vines.
08:11Every mark is different.
08:13Every mark is different.
08:15A depiction of the couple's devotion.
08:17I wonder what yours is gonna have.
08:20We will never be intimate.
08:22You're merely an assignment to me.
08:25Padlocks, daggers, toxic waste.
08:27I guess we'll see.
08:31Look, Vincent's waiting for me, so I really gotta go.
08:35Trin, are you okay?
08:36I know this all came as a shock, but if you're not okay, you can tell me.
08:40I can't tell her the truth.
08:42Um, I have to protect the pack now.
08:44Fine.
08:45And the pack needs to believe their Luna is strong.
08:47Never better. I mean, I'm the Luna, after all, aren't I?
08:52Look, um, I'll see you around, okay?
08:55Okay.
09:05Bad day, boss?
09:06More like a bad week.
09:08Sit.
09:10Alright, what do you got for me? Run through the list.
09:12Alright.
09:14You're needed at the Azure River pack to discuss the plan for warlock mitigations and other threats to the two packs.
09:20Hmm. That's been a while since I've seen my cousin.
09:24Let him know I'll be there by the end of the week.
09:27We need a plan for those inbreds and soon.
09:30Uh, Vincent, you'll come with us for protection.
09:34Unless you have other pressing engagements aside from protecting myself and the Luna.
09:39Well, it's just, I'm so sorry, sir, but my wife Heather is pregnant with our first pup.
09:47And she's due any day now.
09:50Damn it. I forgot.
09:55She can't handle that on her own, I'm assuming?
09:59Fine, fine. Stay here. We'll protect ourselves.
10:03And, Vincent, uh, congratulations.
10:06A pup is a blessing, shall I hear.
10:13Shall we leave you, sir?
10:15Yes, please.
10:16Oh, and, uh, sir, the information you requested.
10:21All right. Time to discover more about my darling Luna.
10:33I feel bad I've been so cold to her.
10:35What?
10:36I know it's not easy losing a mother.
10:42I'm sorry.
10:43I'm sorry.
10:44I'm sorry.
10:45I'm sorry.
10:46I'm sorry.
10:48Who would do this to her?
10:53And why?
10:55Why?
11:13My mother.
11:15After my father died, my mother was never the same.
11:19It's as if she died that day, too.
11:22I have to go away for a few days to visit Riley and his pack.
11:27She's coming with me, too.
11:30Oh, oh, you really don't have to.
11:33Yes, I do, Luna.
11:35Especially since I'm not accompanying you to Azure River.
11:38But, hey, some honeymoon time with your mate, huh?
11:42Yeah, gee, I just can't wait.
11:45Well, he can be rough around the edges.
11:49But he isn't all bad.
11:51That's news to me.
11:53Let's just say I really do wish you were coming.
11:55Your better company.
11:58Will you promise me something, Luna?
12:01Do not, under any circumstance, go off on your own in Azure River.
12:05It's a rough area.
12:07Rival packs.
12:08Warlocks.
12:11Please.
12:12Promise me?
12:13Yeah, I promise.
12:15But, seriously, how bad can it be?
12:19I'll take your bags to the car.
12:31I'll be back in a few days.
12:33What if we can't protect ourselves in the future?
12:37I guess I haven't told you the news yet.
12:39I'm mated now.
12:43Your boy's all grown up.
12:47She's pretty.
12:49In a way that's different than the rest of the pack.
12:53She's smart, too.
12:55Well, that's at least what her cousin says.
13:00But she doesn't have a wolf.
13:04What if she can't protect herself in the future?
13:07What if she can't protect herself when she needs to?
13:10Or, worse, what if she can't protect the pack?
13:13You know, like, what was the goddess thinking when she paired us together?
13:19I don't know.
13:22Maybe I'm too hard on her.
13:30Anyway.
13:32I'll be back in a few days.
13:33I'll be back in a few days.
13:35Take care of yourself until then, okay?
13:39Hey.
13:42I...
13:44I love you.
13:58What are you doing?
14:00Um, nothing.
14:01Nothing, just waiting for you.
14:05Right.
14:07Well then, let's get on with it.
14:09I'm driving.
