Short filmTranscript
00:00was born with heavy breasts and lush curves my half sister Chloe was afraid
00:04her mate Brad would go feral over me so she sold me to an impotent alpha she
00:10patted my shoulder who knows maybe he's good at other things three months later
00:18I was begging for mercy every night funny he seemed good at everything case
00:26Valerius the Blackwood Pax Alpha the Lycan Kings most trusted war commander he
00:30was carried back from the battlefield soaked in blood someone suggested a mate
00:35bond shares life force if Alpha case was bound to a living healthy mate her
00:40strength could flow into him and pull him back Chloe rushed to play matchmaker and
00:43presented me to Martha before I could object I had no way to refuse if I
00:47wouldn't agree she'd transfer me to serve 60 year old elder Kevin I knew she
00:52resented my history with her mate I dropped to my knees and swore to the
00:55moon goddess I swear Chloe I had no feelings for Brad Chloe jabbed a finger
01:01at my forehead fury in her eyes what good is a vow do you have any idea how
01:06distracting you are I hunched my shoulders tears slid down my cheeks just look at
01:11that ample body and those charming curves parading your body in front of every
01:15male in the clan who among them would not lose their minds at the smell of you I
01:20wanted to tell her to bind my chest I'd wrapped myself layer after layer in the
01:24sweltering heat until I broke out in a rash her expression softened she wiped my
01:29tears it's not that I don't trust you it's that I don't trust males do you know
01:35how powerful Alpha case is if my mother and Martha weren't old friends you
01:40wouldn't even have this opportunity Chloe I don't want to be anyone's
01:43offering I'd rather scrub kitchen floors just don't make me two sharp slaps landed
01:51across my face my cheek burned Leah are you out of your mind if I hadn't vouched
01:57for you Martha wouldn't have given you a second glance you wouldn't even be
02:01worthy of being cases mate the maid burst in breathless Miss Chloe word from the
02:06Valerius estate alpha case has woken up Chloe dragged me straight to Valerius
02:13estate enormous I followed her through the main hall to a set of heavy double
02:17doors pulled half shut through the gap I could make out a man's shape in the bed
02:20thin motionless chest rattling with shallow coughs every few minutes
02:24Martha stood on our side eyes red thank you for everything you've done for case I
02:29won't destroy a girl's future over Chloe's eyes moved quick and calculating
02:33Valerius the bond should still be completed Leah arrived the same day case
02:37woke up that's the moon goddess guiding us seal the bond properly her life
02:43force will keep pulling him back toward health before she could speak the healer
02:46Ella stepped out expression tight Alpha case has regained consciousness but an
02:51arrow struck his inner thigh during battle I'm afraid he will no longer be able to
02:57unable to do what he will no longer be able to get hard Martha's knees gave out I
03:02caught her before she hit the floor she looked up at me with hollowed eyes
03:06Leah knowing this are you still willing yes she's been looking forward to it Chloe
03:12was already answering for me of course she is she's just an Omega with no
03:17prospects she should be grateful I didn't speak right away my mind went to my
03:22past there was a young wolf in the poor quarter behind our estate I first saw him
03:27through the fence gaps thin wrists hollow cheeks hunched over a cracked bowl with
03:32nothing in it I started passing food through the gaps bread first then soup then
03:37whatever I had day after day I watched him change the hollows in his cheeks
03:42filled out his shoulders broadened he started training before dawn running laps
03:47around the back wall while I was still half asleep he was going to enter the
03:50warrior trials I knew it before he told me when he passed I went to find him that
03:55same night I was happy I remember it clearly I was genuinely happy I knocked on the
03:59gate he didn't open it his voice came Leah I'm betrothed now it wouldn't be
04:03proper then a soft thud in the dirt at my feet a pouch of silver consider my debt
04:07repaid I stood there for a moment then I picked it up and walked away that wolf
04:12became Chloe's mate Brad I acted like I'd never known him Chloe found out anyway I
04:18snapped back to reality I gathered my skirts and knelt in front of Martha my lady I'm
04:23willing I'll complete the bond care for case and serve you as long as you need
04:29me Luna Martha kept her word and prepared a dignified mating dress for me Chloe
04:34deliberately chose a day when Brad was away on pack business to send me off she
04:38walked me to the door guilt on her face even though case can't get hard at least
04:43you'll be spared the pain of bearing pups don't worry an alpha who can't perform in
04:48that area is probably exceptional in every other honestly none of what Chloe said had
04:53even crossed my mind I told myself I was simply moving to a new household case was
04:58too weak to stand through the full mate blessing ritual I completed the bond
05:02rights beside his ceremonial sword instead Martha watched from the front eyes wet the
05:07whole time when it was done I was alpha cases mate the mating chamber was quiet I
05:13pushed the door open carefully case was already inside half reclined against the
05:19headboard in a white bathrobe he turned when he heard me up close he was
05:23strikingly handsome sharp jaw dark eyes the kind of face that didn't need color in
05:28it to hold attention I had no intention of taking a mate he said with a low voice
05:33if it doesn't trouble you he pointed to the chaise along the far wall tonight the
05:41bed is yours I'll take that tomorrow you move to the guest quarters all right I
05:46nodded he had thought of everything it wasn't what I'd expected before the
05:51ritual one of the older maids had pulled me aside and pressed something into my
05:55hands a small handbook worn at the corners she'd whispered with a strange look
06:00there are other ways between mates you might find it useful I had no idea what she
06:06meant until I opened it heat pooled in my core just from looking at the pages is
06:11it too hot case was watching me from the bed eyes direct unblinking the dress is
06:17heavy I'm a little warm then wash up and rest he pulled the blanket over himself
06:23and turned toward the wall within minutes his breathing evened out I set the
06:28handbook down on the vanity and took down my hair then the layered robes piece by
06:32piece until I was standing in nothing but my nightgown I turned to the mirror the
06:37thin fabric clung to every curve heavy breasts straining against the cloth slim
06:42waist giving way to the flare of my hips I walked straight into cases gaze he
06:47wasn't asleep his chest rose hard the tips of his ears went red his throat worked
06:52as he swallowed I grabbed my outer robe and pressed it against my chest alpha I
06:57thought you were asleep a long pause I could sleep later my breath hitched he
07:05rose slowly to his feet his tall frame casting a shadow over me
07:19the handbook's images came flooding in my breathing shifted without me meaning it to
07:23somehow falling into the same rhythm as his then case turned and walked to the door the
07:28moment cool night air rushed in I snapped back to my senses he'd already disappeared into the darkness
07:34I turned it over in my mind when he'd looked at me just now his eyes had flashed with something
07:40unmistakably like shock had my figure actually frightened him before I lay down I made a firm
07:46decision tomorrow morning I was binding my chest at least one full loop tighter I was hovering somewhere
07:52between sleep and waking when case slipped back in the tips of his hair still beaded with water he'd
07:57apparently gone to shower by morning he was already gone ivy came in to help me dress from the corridor
08:03outside came the sound of a man once then again Martha's headmaid's voice carried
08:10clearly through the door alpha case why didn't you call someone to heat the water
08:15it's already summer but the nights are still cold of course you've caught a chill
08:18I'll go brew tea right now I glanced at Ivy does the alpha usually take cold
08:24showers I honestly don't know miss I dismissed her and locked the door I wound a strip of cloth tight
08:31over my
08:31undergarments then pulled on the most conservative dress I could find in the wardrobe high neck loose
08:37cut heavy fabric then I went to living room case was already there when I arrived seated beside Martha
08:43she lit up the moment she saw me her whole face warm with welcome until case coughed and the warmth
08:50vanished instantly cage I have a few private words for Leah go rest for a while case rose and left
08:57without a word Martha waved me over and took both my hands in hers eyes glistening sweet girl our case
09:05is lucky to have you
09:09the pack healer says the injury drained his life force there's no telling how long he has left
09:15some of the elders suggested I find a child for him to adopt to carry on the bloodline
09:23but if I did that wouldn't I be stealing your whole future from you
09:28I'm already grateful you came into this family to save case I can't let you sacrifice the rest of
09:34your life on top of that I've thought it through if case's time does come I'll have him issue you
09:38a
09:39formal mate release your future stays protected and I'll see to it that you receive property
09:44and a place of your own I reached up and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes
09:48chest tight with an ache I couldn't name Mrs. Valerius thank you for looking out for me
09:54I'd come here thinking of myself as nothing more than a transferred Omega servant
09:57I never imagined she would think this far ahead on my behalf my thoughts drifted to the mother I had
10:03never known if she had been alive if I had grown up under a mother's protection
10:06I never would have ended up in any of the situations I'd been through
10:09Martha laughed through her tears look at me I've gone and made you cry too
10:14she squeezed my hands Leah there's no need to be so formal call me mom just like case does
10:20she took a breath so I have a proposition for you Chloe mentioned you know how to prepare
10:26medicinal soups I'd like you to take over cases daily meals and care I just want him to live a
10:31little longer that's my one selfish wish by the end her voice had gone rough
10:35I nodded I headed to the kitchen to gather ingredients the last time I'd prepared medicinal
10:41soup was several years ago back when Brad was not yet Chloe's mate he'd lost both parents and
10:46lived alone in a rundown unit skipping meals to save every cent for his warrior training
10:52one day I found him collapsed at our back gate and brought him around out of sympathy I dug through
10:57my mother's old healer journals and prepared medicinal meals for him every day to rebuild his
11:01strength only the two of us ever knew about it from the looks of things he was the one who
11:07told Chloe just to get me driven
11:09out the lengths he had gone to were truly something I carried the steaming soup to the bedroom and found
11:15case directing servants to pack up his belongings alpha what's this about weren't we agreed that I was
11:22moving the guest room his sharply handsome face didn't shift so much as a fraction I have fewer
11:26things it makes more sense for me to move at least eat first I set the food on the table
11:32he gave it a
11:33brief glance and sat down you can leave this kind of thing to the maid from now on it's no
11:40different
11:41coming from me it is different his voice remained flat and cool have ivy bring it from now on he
11:50finished
11:50the soup in a few quick swallows said a few words to the servants and swept past me in that
11:56moment I
11:57confirmed one thing alpha case couldn't stand the sight of me I followed his instructions and had ivy
12:03deliver his daily healing meals to the study from then on Martha couldn't stop singing my praises the
12:08pack healer says case's condition has stabilized significantly I can see the color coming back to
12:14his face Leah that's entirely because of you delighted she pressed a gold bracelet into my
12:20hands back in my room I tucked it into my jewelry box which had been slowly filling with pieces Martha
12:26had gifted me since my arrival Leah you never wear any of the of these isn't it a waste to
12:31just put
12:31them away how is it a waste every one of these can be converted to cash that's my security fund
12:38but
12:38lady Martha gave these to you personally are you really going to sell all of them not right now
12:43but if the mate bond is ever severed naturally I'd sell them and keep the money on hand ivy's
12:48expression shifted to pure bewilderment as she turned away she dropped her voice to a murmur
12:57alpha alpha I spun around and met a pair of ink dark eyes Martha's eyesight must truly be failing her
13:03case looked worse than ever case's face was even paler than before his gaze was sharp and cutting
13:10fixed on me with cold precision the look unsettled me completely but I didn't dare let a single trace
13:16of it show alpha is there something you need a journal we looked together I checked the shelves
13:24he checked the writing desk neither of us spoke I spotted the journal pushed to the very back of
13:29the top shelf behind a row of my mother's medical notes I reached up on my toes my fingertips just
13:35grazed the cover case's hand came over mine warm steady he reached past me without effort and closed
13:42his hand around the journal I turned my head his face was right there closer than I'd realized he was
13:49looking down at me then I lost my footing and pitched straight into him my heavy breasts hit his chest
13:55first my waist went straight into his palm his hand catching me before he could react
14:00case didn't step back his ear tips went red his throat worked as he swallowed when he exhaled the breath
14:07came out uneven against the top of my head his eyes flashed gold for a second then green
14:13I scrambled upright face burning your journal he took it without a word and walked out perfect my standing
14:21in his eyes had just sunk even lower after that day I made every effort to avoid crossing paths
14:26with case he was injured and recovering he needed to stay calm but there was one more thing bothering
14:31me Brad had been sending notes three times already I hadn't opened a single one just dropped them in
14:38a box then Ivy pressed one into my hand that morning it's not just a note this time he's here
14:42side entrance says he won't leave until you come out I clenched my fist and walked out I didn't notice
14:47the figure that followed from the far end of the courtyard Brad was standing at the gate
14:53Leah you finally came you should be calling me Mrs. Valerius he paused dropped his voice
15:00Mrs. Valerius do you have any idea how many times you've put me in an impossible position with these
15:05meetings I know I just wanted to tell you I'll be securing more power in the pack soon I won't
15:13need
15:13Chloe's father backing me anymore he stepped closer I'll buy a house Leah come with me anything's
15:19better than staying with a dying man he reached for me I stepped back you want me as your mistress
15:26Brad nodded completely serious I laughed why would I give up being the alpha's mate to be your mistress
15:33the whole pack knows case is dying he won't last and he can't even stand up anymore his eyes dropped
15:41deliberately to my chest isn't that a waste disgust surged through me Brad I will never be anyone's
15:49mistress case fought on the front lines for this pack those injuries are his honor you've benefited
15:57from every battle he won and you're standing here calling him less of a man you're the one who's less
16:05come near me again and every note you've sent goes straight to Chloe how do you think that ends for
16:10you his face went white I swung the gate shut I turned around and came face to face with case
16:18white t-shirt standing less than half a foot away his full height bearing down on me alpha I managed
16:23a faint edge flickered across his expression wasn't it my mate just a moment ago why so formal all of
16:29a
16:29sudden I looked down and started walking please don't misunderstand as long as I'm in this estate I
16:36honor this bond completely fast it's getting late I should go make your evening meal I moved to step
16:42past him his hand closed around my arm I lost my footing and pitched straight into him my heavy
16:47breasts against his chest my waist caught in his grip I looked up his face was inches from mine his
16:53eyes were deep and unreadable one tilt forward and our lips would have touched his breath hit my face warm
17:00my breath hitched heat pooled low in my core case swallowed hard as long as I remain in this estate
17:08each word slow deliberate you counting down the days until you can leave I couldn't exactly tell him
17:15I'll leave the day you die no nothing like that I shifted in his grip alpha you're hurting my arm
17:22did you mean every word you said just now I blinked and asked which part he let out a quiet
17:28breath and
17:29released me I bolted and I noticed for the first time his face had actual color in it his cheeks
17:36were just as red as mine that night I had a strange dream case's lips grazed slowly along my cheek
17:43his
17:44fingers hooked into the strap of my slip voice dropping to a low murmur does my Luna want this
17:50I nodded like someone completely under a spell then a fierce consuming kiss caught my lips and wouldn't
17:56let go I jolted awake in a tangle of sheets heart still hammering breathless ivy knocked and came in
18:04I asked her to bring a basin of cold water she stared at my sweat damp hair and murmured it
18:09really
18:10is getting hotter I splashed cold water onto my face and then it hit me that first night case cold
18:16shower
18:18surely he hadn't also been no impossible he was injured and recovering he was supposed to be
18:25keeping himself calm at midday Martha's attendant arrived Martha would like dinner in the garden
18:29tonight she asks that you be sure to come been making excuses to avoid the main dining hall for
18:35days just to steer clear of case but Martha had gone out of her way to personally extend the invitation
18:40I couldn't say no I stepped into the garden a sprawling rose of Sharon was in full bloom
18:45a gust of wind shook loose a handful of deep crimson petals drifting down onto the stone table
18:51covered with every dish I loved most Martha smiled and gestured for me to sit case mentioned it's your
18:56birthday today he's the one who asked the kitchen to prepare all of this I looked up and met a
19:02pair of
19:02burning intent eyes heat rushed straight to my face case lit a plate of chestnut cake in front of me
19:09without changing his expression how did you know today was my birthday I'd completely forgotten it
19:15myself my birth mother died bringing me into the world no one had ever once marked the day for me
19:21case kept his eyes lowered and said evenly it's not difficult to know it something in my chest gave
19:28one quiet inexplicable pull Leah this peach blossom wine is from my private reserve I'm opening it just
19:36for you but you two had better not drink too much she pushed back her chair said the summer evening
19:41breeze
19:41was too much for her old bones and left the garden went quiet to avoid the silence I put my
19:48head down and
19:48drank one cup then another then another the wine was sweet and dangerously potent before long the edges of
19:56everything had gone soft and blurry case watched me but said nothing by the third glass I'd stopped
20:02feeling the awkward silence by the fourth I'd stopped feeling much of anything I reached across the table
20:09toward the last piece of chestnut cake the dish was empty I looked up where's the last piece I ate
20:16it
20:16I have absolutely no idea where the boldness came from I leaned straight toward his face
20:23who told you to eat that spit it back out I pressed against his chest trying to peer into his
20:28mouth
20:29case looked down at me perfectly calm you won't find it that way I straightened up and stared at him
20:35then how am I supposed to find it a faint flush crept across his cheeks try using your mouse my
20:43gaze
20:43drifted to his slightly reddened lips I swallowed once and kissed him without hesitation case went rigid
20:49his breathing lurching unsteady then control shifted his hand cupped the back of my head
20:55and he pressed in deeper harder neither of us pulled away until footsteps sounded from behind the flower
21:01bed alpha the night air is cool lady martha asked me to bring you both a wrap I had no
21:09idea how much
21:09ivy'd seen I shot to my feet and the next instant the world tilted everything went dark
21:17when I woke up with a splitting headache it was already morning I suddenly remembered
21:22I'd promised Martha to visit case's father's grave it was late I started rushing around for my things
21:31Leah don't worry the driver is still getting the car ready
21:36ivy was it you who brought me back last night
21:39no the alpha carried you back I spun around to check her face she nodded completely serious
21:48I didn't say anything stupid did I ivy bit back a smile the alpha set you down on the bed
21:55and you grabbed his sleeve and wouldn't let go you kept calling him my mate over and over
22:01until his whole face went red ivy don't you dare make things up she covered her mouth laughing and ran
22:10out
22:11I met Martha at the front entrance case's father's grave was on a hillside just beyond the pack territory
22:18I sat in the back of the car completely distracted replaying the moment I'd kissed case last night
22:25Martha must have misread my expression because she said
22:29Leah is there someone you have feelings for
22:35I've noticed you've been avoiding case these past few days
22:39please don't be upset with me for pushing you two together at dinner last night
22:43I thought if the two of you couldn't be mates you could at least be friends
22:47but if you're uncomfortable or if you want to leave
22:50just say I'll have him sever the bond I won't let you be trapped here
22:55mom no it's not that
22:57I was thinking about something else
22:59what is it
23:00I was still figuring out how to answer when the car lurched
23:02the engine screamed
23:04the car swung hard
23:05tires off the road crashing through brush the whole frame shaking
23:09I grabbed Martha and looked at the driver
23:11slumped over the wheel
23:12unconscious
23:13no one to hit the brakes
23:15a cliff straight ahead
23:17Martha grabbed my arm
23:18Leah what do we do
23:20we jump
23:21now
23:22we'll be hurt
23:23we'll die if we don't
23:25hold on to me
23:26I wrapped myself around her and we threw ourselves clear the instant the wheels left solid ground
23:29we hit the cliff edge and went over
23:31my hand shot out and caught a root jutting from the rock face
23:35my other hand locked around Martha's wrist
23:37below her was a straight drop into nothing
23:42mom don't look down don't look down
23:44hold on to me
23:45Ivy and the others are right behind us
23:47find us in the second car
23:49they'll be here soon
23:51the root ground under our weight
23:54Martha's voice broke
23:55Leah
23:57let me go
23:58we're too heavy
24:01it's going to snap
24:05I'm old
24:06I've lived my life
24:08you have to keep living yours
24:12my chest tightened so hard I could barely breathe
24:15I couldn't let go
24:17she'd been a mother to me from the first day
24:21mom
24:22I would rather die with you than watch you fall
24:25hold on
24:30they're coming
24:31the truth was
24:33I had no idea
24:34my arms were going numb
24:36the pain had gone so deep it had stopped feeling like pain at all
24:41then I heard it
24:43a wolf's howl split the air
24:47deafening and close
24:49Leah
24:50don't move
24:52I'm coming down
24:53Case's voice
24:54he'd called me by my name
24:56the first time
24:59a strong arm came under me
25:01he'd climbed down the cliff face
25:04wolf claws dug into the rock
25:06he untied the rope from his own body
25:09and looped it around my waist
25:11then climbed down further and did the same for Martha
25:15the people above pulled together
25:17we came up one at a time
25:19it wasn't a hallucination
25:21Case had saved us
25:23he held me
25:25brow creased
25:29why is there so much blood
25:30Martha clutched her face
25:33she shielded me when we jumped
25:35I didn't get a scratch
25:37it's all hers
25:40my eyelids felt like lead
25:42Leah
25:44don't sleep
25:45I'm taking you to Ella
25:47he lifted me into the car
25:49and I stayed curled against his chest
25:51his forehead was damp with sweat
25:54he kept one hand on the wheel
25:56and kept talking
25:57Leah
25:57Leah
25:58Leah
25:59stay awake
26:01I'll get you chestnut cake
26:02I'll give you all the jewelry you want to sell
26:05you don't have to wait for me to die
26:07I'll write the bond release today
26:08you can leave whenever you want
26:10my chest kept clenching
26:13something wet hit my face
26:15I looked up at the sky through the windshield
26:18it wasn't raining
26:20then everything went black
26:22when I opened my eyes
26:23every part of my body felt like it had been taken apart
26:25and put back wrong
26:26my Luna
26:28the pack healer said you can't move yet
26:30Ivy pressed a bowl of medicine to my lips
26:32spooning it in slowly
26:34you're lucky nothing's broken
26:35her voice was steady but her eyes were red
26:37the scrapes were bad
26:38you need to stay flat or they'll scar
26:41your shoulder was dislocated too
26:43she kept talking
26:44my eyes had already drifted to the door
26:46after I finished the medicine
26:47I asked
26:49where's Case
26:50investigating
26:51someone poisoned the driver with wolf bite
26:53and cut the brake lines
26:54it was deliberate
26:55who would be bold enough to target the Alpha's family directly
26:58I was flat on my back for a full month
27:00I didn't see Case once
27:01Martha kept her door shut too
27:03still recovering from the shock
27:05everyone in the estate moved with tight faces
27:07and clipped voices
27:08like something was being held just below the surface
27:11I asked Ivy
27:12she said nothing was wrong
27:13today I was finally cleared to get out of bed
27:16I opened my door
27:17and walked straight into a familiar figure
27:19Case
27:20dark tactical shirt
27:21sharper than I remembered
27:23he held out a small wooden box
27:25I took it and lifted the lid
27:27a land deed
27:28a property contract
27:29a severance letter
27:31my body went rigid
27:32something locked around my chest
27:34and wouldn't let go
27:35Case
27:36are you throwing me out?
27:38you've been waiting for this
27:39since the day you arrived
27:41you avoided me
27:42stayed out of my way
27:43you never wanted anything to do with me
27:44you were counting down the days
27:45until I died
27:46so you could walk out cleanly
27:48I'm just doing it early
27:50Leah go
27:52after today we're finished
27:53something sharp flooded my chest
27:56my mouth opened and closed
27:58it took a long time to get anything out
28:02so that's what you think of me
28:06leave now
28:07I don't want to see you anymore
28:09Case disappeared around the corner of the yard
28:11estate guards all but pushed me out the door
28:13Ivy fell in to step beside me
28:15and the alpha said you're used to having me around
28:17he told me to go with you
28:20I couldn't speak
28:25we moved into a small house
28:27on the edge of the territory
28:28by morning the pack's official announcement had gone up
28:32the announcement said Case had betrayed the pack
28:34the announcement said he had betrayed the pack
28:37that he had leaked the border patrol routes to a rogue faction
28:40by order of the Lycan king
28:42royal enforcers had been dispatched to seize him
28:45pending investigation
28:47Case was being held in the dungeons under royal guard
28:50the estate was locked down
28:52everyone inside was under scrutiny
28:55Case would never betray his pack
28:57he would die before he did something like that
29:00he rushed to get me out
29:01that was why
29:02that was the only reason
29:05Ivy was pacing circles around the living room
29:07she'd grown up inside the estate
29:09she couldn't stand still
29:11is there anything we can do?
29:13I made myself sit down and think
29:15years ago Elder Reed's youngest child
29:18had gotten lost in the forest
29:19and been bitten by a snake
29:21I'd found him and used the right herbs
29:23to treat the wound
29:24Elder Reed had arrived
29:26while I was still crouched over the boy
29:27he'd seen my face
29:29I was sure he hadn't forgotten
29:31I tracked him down outside the council building
29:33and stepped into his pack
29:35Elder Reed
29:36you remember me
29:37I need a favor
29:39he looked at me for a long moment
29:40then he nodded
29:42Elder Reed led me into the dungeon
29:4430 minutes
29:45no more
29:46the door on the door
29:46Case stood up
29:47his eyes flashed with surprise
29:49how did you get in?
29:50my chest ached
29:52as I looked at him
29:52through the blur of tears
29:53that's why you kicked me out
29:55isn't it?
29:56you were framed
29:57think carefully
29:58is there any evidence
29:59to prove your innocence?
30:01I will find it
30:02I will investigate
30:03I swear I will rescue you
30:05Case's gaze deepened
30:07then his arm shot out
30:08and pulled me into his chest
30:09Leah
30:10my heart hammered
30:12but time was running out
30:13this wasn't the moment
30:14I pushed against him
30:16he didn't budge
30:17Leah you don't need to do anything
30:18I can't say much
30:21I promise
30:23seven days later
30:24I will accompany you
30:25to watch the sunrise
30:26okay?
30:28his eyes were steady
30:29certain
30:30like he was coaxing
30:31a frightened pup
30:33I walked out of the dungeon
30:34and straight into Brad
30:39he stepped into my path
30:41slow smile spreading across his face
30:43it's not too late to reconsider
30:45being my mistress
30:46beats being alone
30:48and disgraced
30:49I swung my hand
30:50and slapped him across the face
30:51he lunged for me
30:52I stepped sideways
30:53and put distance between us
30:54try that again
30:55and every note you sent me
30:56ends up in front of Chloe's father
30:58every single one
30:59you've been whispering in her ear
31:00for years haven't you?
31:02trying to get me pushed out
31:03thinking I'd have nowhere to go
31:04and no choice but to run to you
31:05but you never counted on Chloe
31:06handing me straight to Case
31:08a man you can't touch
31:10his face changed
31:11I didn't wait for him to recover
31:12I walked away
31:13and didn't look back
31:14a wolf like that
31:15the further the better
31:17I didn't sleep well
31:18for the next five days
31:19Case's voice kept coming back to me
31:21I promise
31:23seven days later
31:23I will accompany you
31:24to watch the sunrise
31:25okay?
31:26on the afternoon of the sixth day
31:27the Lichen King's official decree
31:29went up across the territory
31:30the leak hadn't come from Case
31:32it had come from Prince Marcus
31:34and his allies
31:35the truth is finally revealed
31:40the Lichen King had not yet named his heir
31:42both Prince Caden and Prince Marcus
31:44were in the running
31:44Case was Prince Caden's
31:45most powerful ally
31:46the Alpha who commanded
31:48the most powerful pack
31:49taking Case down
31:50was the cleanest way
31:51to clear the path to the throne
31:52Prince Marcus had planted a spy
31:53inside the Blackwood pack
31:55used him to steal
31:55the Border Patrol routes
31:56then framed Case for it
31:58so the injury had been faked
31:59all of it
32:00a deliberate trap
32:01to draw out the spy
32:02but why fake
32:03being unable to mate?
32:05I turned that over
32:06in my mind all night
32:06and couldn't land on an answer
32:08dawn was just breaking
32:09when someone knocked at the door
32:10I didn't think
32:11I just ran
32:12I threw the door open
32:13and walked straight into Case's chest
32:14he went completely still
32:16then his arms came around me
32:17slow and deliberate
32:18and pulled me in hard
32:20I'd run out in nothing
32:21but a thin sleep shirt
32:22no warning
32:23through the thin fabric
32:24I could feel everything
32:25the hard muscle of his chest
32:27his arms locked tight around me
32:29I pressed my hands
32:30against his chest
32:30and tried to step back
32:31Leah
32:32his voice dropped low
32:33I'm back
32:35our eyes locked
32:36the heat between us
32:37was thick enough to touch
32:38then he lifted me off the ground
32:39and carried me straight
32:40toward the bedroom
32:40I beat a fist
32:41against his chest
32:43weren't we supposed
32:44to watch the sunrise?
32:47you first
32:48sunrise after
32:50we fell onto the bed together
32:51you first
