Verified subtitle lines and timestamps for this episode:

1. [00:00] My boyfriend of five years is holding a moon vow ceremony with another woman next week.
2. [00:06] Brenda, don't tell Harper about Maddie and me registering as partners yet.
3. [00:11] She's been clingy with me since we were kids.
4. [00:15] If she finds out I'm publicly binding myself to a mate at next week's moon vow ceremony, she'll definitely throw a fit.
5. [00:23] Besides, she's always been sensitive about mate boundaries, claims sent.
6. [00:26] If she catches Maddie's claim sent, she might lose control right there.
7. [00:30] I stood at the living room entrance, my hand still on the doorknob.
8. [00:34] On the kitchen island lay an invitation to a moon vow ceremony.
9. [00:37] I had been wondering who was making vows under the full moon.
10. [00:41] Now I knew.
11. [00:42] It was my boyfriend, Connor.
12. [00:45] And another woman, Maddie.
13. [00:48] This was the fifth year Connor and I had secretly maintained our mate relationship.
14. [00:53] It was also the third time he had refused to come back to Silver Pine for Thanksgiving with me, using work as his excuse.
15. [01:01] Every full moon, deep in the red maple forest outside town, the stone ring altar lit up with the moon marks of the wolf clan.
16. [01:09] And next week, Connor would stand there and introduce another woman as his mate.
17. [01:14] His words stopped cold.
18. [01:18] Because he finally saw me standing in the living room.
19. [01:22] The smile on his face froze instantly.
20. [01:25] The sudden tension of alpha pressure in the air was so heavy it was almost hard to breathe.
21. [01:31] But my mom didn't notice at all.
22. [01:34] Harper, Connor, and Maddie are having their public bonding ceremony at the country club next month.
23. [01:40] When are you bringing that mysterious boyfriend of yours back to town?
24. [01:44] For me to meet?
25. [01:46] Hearing that, the corner of my mouth slowly pulled into a cold smile.
26. [01:51] He's dead.
27. [01:53] Yesterday, on I-90, killed in a car crash.
