Lyra, the king's daughter, is expected to accept her crown as the new Queen of the pack, but she refuses. She declares that, twelve years ago, a human boy saved her life and she must repay that debt before she can rule. Defying the Queen's order to stay, she gives herself three months to return. She leaves the pack, rejecting the provided car and cash to take only a motorbike. This forces the worried elder to seek outside help to ensure her safety.
