Short filmTranscript
00:00Then everything went black.
00:01When I opened my eyes, every part of my body felt like it had been taken apart and put back
00:05wrong.
00:06My Luna.
00:07The pack healer said you can't move yet.
00:09Ivy pressed a bowl of medicine to my lips, spooning it in slowly.
00:13You're lucky nothing's broken.
00:15Her voice was steady, but her eyes were red.
00:17The scrapes were bad, you need to stay flat or they'll scar.
00:20Your shoulder was dislocated too.
00:22She kept talking.
00:23My eyes had already drifted to the door.
00:25After I finished the medicine, I asked.
00:28Where's Case?
00:29Investigating.
00:30Someone poisoned the driver with wolf bite and cut the brake lines.
00:33It was deliberate.
00:34Who would be bold enough to target the Alpha's family directly?
00:37I was flat on my back for a full month.
00:39I didn't see Case once.
00:41Martha kept her door shut too, still recovering from the shock.
00:44Everyone in the estate moved with tight faces and clipped voices,
00:47like something was being held just below the surface.
00:50I asked Ivy.
00:51She said nothing was wrong.
00:53Today, I was finally cleared to get out of bed.
00:55I opened my door and walked straight into a familiar figure.
00:58Case.
00:59Dark tactical shirt.
01:01Sharper than I remembered.
01:02He held out a small wooden box.
01:04I took it and lifted the lid.
01:06A land deed.
01:07A property contract.
01:08A severance letter.
01:10My body went rigid.
01:11Something locked around my chest and wouldn't let go.
01:14Case!
01:15Are you throwing me out?
01:16You've been waiting for this since the day you arrived.
01:19You avoided me, stayed out of my way.
01:21You never wanted anything to do with me.
01:23You were counting down the days until I died so you could walk out cleanly.
01:26I'm just doing it early.
01:29Leah, go.
01:30After today, we're finished.
01:32Something sharp flooded my chest.
01:34My mouth opened and closed.
01:36It took a long time to get anything out.
01:40So that's what you think of me.
01:43Leave now.
01:45I don't want to see you anymore.
01:47Case disappeared around the corner of the yard.
01:49Estate guards all but pushed me out the door.
01:51Ivy fell in to step beside me and the Alpha said you're used to having me around.
01:55He told me to go with you.
01:58I couldn't speak.
02:03We moved into a small house on the edge of the territory.
02:06By morning, the pack's official announcement had gone up.
02:10The announcement said Case had betrayed the pack.
02:12The announcement said he had betrayed the pack.
02:14That he had leaked the Border Patrol routes to a rogue faction.
02:18By order of the Lycan King, royal enforcers had been dispatched to seize him, pending investigation.
02:25Case was being held in the dungeons under royal guard.
02:28The estate was locked down.
02:31Everyone inside was under scrutiny.
02:33Case would never betray his pack.
02:35He would die before he did something like that.
02:37He rushed to get me out.
02:39That was why.
02:40That was the only reason.
02:42Ivy was pacing circles around the living room.
02:45She'd grown up inside the estate.
02:46She couldn't stand still.
02:48Is there anything we can do?
02:50I made myself sit down and think.
02:53Years ago, Elder Reed's youngest child had gotten lost in the forest
02:57and been bitten by a snake.
02:58I'd found him and used the right herbs to treat the wound.
03:02Elder Reed had arrived while I was still crouched over the boy.
03:05He'd seen my face.
03:07I was sure he hadn't forgotten.
03:09I tracked him down outside the council building and stepped into the pack.
03:12Elder Reed.
03:13You remember me.
03:15I need a favor.
03:16He looked at me for a long moment.
03:18Then he nodded.
03:20Elder Reed led me into the dungeon.
03:21Thirty minutes.
03:22No more.
03:23The door unlocked.
03:24Case stood up.
03:25His eyes flashed with surprise.
03:26How did you get in?
03:28My chest ached as I looked at him through the blur of tears.
03:31That's why you kicked me out, isn't it?
03:33You were framed.
03:35Think carefully.
03:35Is there any evidence to prove your innocence?
03:38I will find it.
03:39I will investigate.
03:40I swear I will rescue you.
03:43Case's gaze deepened.
03:44Then his arm shot out and pulled me into his chest.
03:46Leah.
03:47My heart hammered.
03:49But time was running out.
03:50This wasn't the moment.
03:52I pushed against him.
03:53He didn't budge.
03:54Leah, you don't need to do anything.
03:55I can't say much.
03:58I promise.
04:00Seven days later, I will accompany you to watch the sunrise.
04:04Okay?
04:05His eyes were steady.
04:06Certain.
04:07Like he was coaxing a frightened pup.
04:10I walked out of the dungeon and straight into Brad.
04:16He stepped into my path.
04:18Slow smile spreading across his face.
04:19It's not too late to reconsider.
04:22Being my mistress beats being alone and disgraced.
04:25I swung my hand and slapped him across the face.
04:28He lunged for me.
04:29I stepped sideways and put distance between us.
04:31Try that again and every note you sent me ends up in front of Chloe's father.
04:35Every single one.
04:36You've been whispering in her ear for years, haven't you?
04:38Trying to get me pushed out, thinking I'd have nowhere to go and no choice but to run
04:41to you.
04:42But you never counted on Chloe handing me straight to Case.
04:45A man you can't touch.
04:46His face changed.
04:47I didn't wait for him to recover.
04:49I walked away and didn't look back.
04:51A wolf like that.
04:52The further the better.
04:53I didn't sleep well for the next five days.
04:56Case's voice kept coming back to me.
04:57I promise.
04:59Seven days later, I will accompany you to watch the sunrise.
05:02Okay?
05:03On the afternoon of the sixth day, the Lichen King's official decree went up across the
05:06territory.
05:07The leak hadn't come from Case.
05:09It had come from Prince Marcus and his allies.
05:12The truth is finally revealed.
05:16The Lichen King had not yet named his heir.
05:18Both Prince Caden and Prince Marcus were in the running.
05:21Case was Prince Caden's most powerful ally.
05:23The alpha who commanded the most powerful pack.
05:25Taking Case down was the cleanest way to clear the path to the throne.
05:28Prince Marcus had planted a spy inside the Blackwood Pack.
05:31Used him to steal the border patrol routes.
05:33Then framed Case for it.
05:34So the injury had been faked.
05:36All of it.
05:36A deliberate trap to draw out the spy.
05:39But why fake being unable to mate?
05:41I turned that over in my mind all night and couldn't land on an answer.
05:44Dawn was just breaking when someone knocked at the door.
05:46I didn't think.
05:47I just ran.
05:48I threw the door open and walked straight into Case's chest.
05:51He went completely still.
05:52Then his arms came around me, slow and deliberate, and pulled me in hard.
05:56I'd run out in nothing but a thin sleep shirt.
05:58No warning.
05:59Through the thin fabric I could feel everything.
06:01The hard muscle of his chest.
06:03His arms locked tight around me.
06:05I pressed my hands against his chest and tried to step back.
06:08Leah.
06:08His voice dropped low.
06:10I'm back.
06:11Our eyes locked.
06:12The heat between us was thick enough to touch.
06:14Then he lifted me off the ground and carried me straight toward the bedroom.
06:17I beat a fist against his chest.
06:19Weren't we supposed to watch the sunrise?
06:23You first.
06:25Sunrise after.
06:26We fell onto the bed together.
06:30Case pinned me beneath him.
06:32One hand working the buttons of my sleep shirt open.
06:34Eyes never leaving mine.
06:36I covered his eyes with both hands.
06:38Don't look.
06:39It's embarrassing.
06:40He took my hands down.
06:41His breathing had gone ragged.
06:44It's beautiful.
06:45His eyes were bright and fixed.
06:47My skin went hot everywhere he touched.
06:49I pressed my palm flat against his chest.
06:52Hard muscle.
06:52Warm skin.
06:53Healer said you couldn't get hard.
06:55How is any of this possible?
06:56Lips dragging slowly along my jaw to my ear.
06:59You want to know if I can?
07:01There's one way to find out.
07:02He kissed me.
07:03One hand cupping my face.
07:05Tilting it up toward me.
07:06I kissed him back hard.
07:08My hands slid up his chest.
07:10Over his shoulders.
07:11Gripping his arms.
07:12He pressed me further into the mattress.
07:14His weight settling over me.
07:16The heat built fast and took over completely.
07:19My hands went slack.
07:21He caught them.
07:22Laced his fingers through mine.
07:23And pinned them above my head.
07:25He loves me very much.
07:27And completely occupies me.
07:29My face gradually became rosy.
07:31And we could only hear each other's heartbeats and breathing.
07:34His lips dragged from my mouth to my jaw.
07:37Down the side of my neck.
07:38Slow and unhurried.
07:40Then he stopped.
07:42His canines pierced my mating gland.
07:44A second of sharp, white-hot pain.
07:46And then it was done.
07:48I lay there, chest heaving.
07:49Fingers still tangled in his.
07:51On my neck, his mark ached.
07:54Finally, we weren't just mates on paper anymore.
07:58After the estate lockdown was lifted,
08:00Case took me to meet Prince Caden.
08:01A slow smile spreading across his face.
08:04So you're the woman who brought Case to his knees.
08:06I've been wanting to meet you.
08:08You flatter me, your highness.
08:10Case helped the kingdom take down a real threat.
08:12You stood by him through all of it.
08:13I'll host an official Luna ceremony for you.
08:16And when that day comes, I'll have a gift ready.
08:18Thank you, your highness.
08:20Don't blame Case, Leah.
08:22Faking the injury was always part of the plan.
08:27Too many enemies wanted him dead.
08:29The only way to keep him safe was to make them think he was already finished.
08:33The part about not being able to get hard, that was my idea.
08:36I gave the pack doctor that order myself.
08:40We grew up together.
08:42I know exactly how he is.
08:44Never any interest in women.
08:45Never any weakness.
08:47I figured it was time someone did something about that.
08:49Suddenly, I understood.
08:51Just two old friends and one very elaborate prank.
08:54The car accident.
08:55That was Prince Marcus as well.
08:57They intended it to look like an accident.
08:59They didn't expect to hurt you in the process.
09:01Luna, Leah.
09:02It's been dealt with.
09:04You and Case are safe now.
09:09I took a slow breath.
09:11Knowing it was over didn't make the memory of dangling off that cliff any less vivid.
09:15We got back to the estate to find Chloe already inside, crying.
09:18She walked in an hour ago and hasn't stopped.
09:21Martha is getting a headache from it.
09:23I told Case to go to his study.
09:25I'd handle it.
09:26I sat down next to Chloe.
09:28Face red, eyes swollen.
09:30Word had already spread.
09:31Brad had been identified as one of Prince Marcus' informants.
09:34Chloe's father had been cleared.
09:36But Chloe and Brad were finished.
09:38Still crying?
09:40I'll have someone throw you out.
09:41She stopped immediately.
09:43Still shaking, but quiet.
09:44I misjudged him.
09:45I thought picking someone from a lower-ranked family meant he'd be easy to manage.
09:51I didn't think he'd be like this.
09:53I told you he wasn't a good person.
09:55You didn't say it clearly enough.
09:57I rolled my eyes.
09:58I wasn't a powerless Omega anymore.
10:01I didn't have to hold back.
10:07Were you ever angry at me?
10:08For how I treated you back then?
10:11No.
10:12I cursed you in my head.
10:14But I don't hold grudges.
10:15You cursed me?
10:16Do you want to punish me for it?
10:18Chloe laughed despite herself.
10:20Then caught herself and pressed her lips together.
10:22I'm sorry.
10:22For the slap.
10:23Did it hurt?
10:24I already forgot about it.
10:26Then let me slap you back.
10:27We'll be even.
10:28She closed her eyes and braced herself.
10:30I raised my hand and let it land soft against her cheek.
10:34She opened her eyes.
10:38I already gave that slap to Brad.
10:40Chloe stared at me for a second.
10:41Then she laughed.
10:42Really laughed.
10:43For the first time since she'd walked in.
10:45Don't call me Chloe anymore.
10:46Can we be friends?
10:48No.
10:50I don't like friends who cry too much.
10:52The light was still on when I passed Case's study.
10:55I pushed the door open.
10:56Before I could say a word, an arm shot out from behind and wrapped around my waist.
11:01Bold intruder.
11:01His voice dropped low against my ear.
11:03You think you can just walk into the Alpha's office?
11:06The Alpha's mate is right here.
11:08And you still dare make a move?
11:09Case played it straight.
11:10His lips found my neck.
11:12Here?
11:13Really?
11:15Right here.
11:16I kept saying no.
11:17My hands said something else entirely, finding their way to his back.
11:21He murmured against my ear.
11:23You have no idea how many times I thought about this in this room.
11:27I wanted to say something back, but his hand was already moving, and I couldn't get a single
11:31word out.
11:32He carried me to the table and took off my clothes.
11:35Then we had a good time.
11:43When I woke up, it was almost dawn.
11:45Case was already awake, sitting up against the headboard, watching me.
11:49His eyes were soft in a way that made it hard to look back.
11:52Morning.
11:52I sat up and rubbed my eyes.
11:54Then I remembered.
11:55The sunrise.
11:56He'd promised.
11:58The sunrise.
12:02We still have time.
12:03He was already up.
12:05He picked up my clothes from beside the bed, handing them to me.
12:08He dressed me slowly, straightening each layer with both hands, like he'd done it a
12:12thousand times before.
12:13We walked out into the yard.
12:14Cool air.
12:16The smell of pine.
12:17To the east, the sky had just started to lighten at the edges.
12:20Case stood behind me and wrapped both arms around me.
12:22We watched the horizon together.
12:24The sun came up slowly.
12:26Gold light broke across the trees, spread across the yard, and landed on us.
12:30The clouds caught the color and held it.
12:32Beautiful.
12:33Close to my ear.
12:36Beautiful.
12:37He pulled me in tighter and said nothing else.
12:39He didn't need to.
12:42I'll watch every sunrise and sunset with you.
12:44His voice was quiet against my hair.
12:45Everyone.
12:46For as long as we have.
12:49I turned around and kissed him once, quick and light.
12:52Deal.
12:53The sun came up fully and the yard filled with light.
12:56Our shadows stretched long across the ground behind us.
12:59Over the next few days, the estate came back to life.
13:02Servants moved through the halls with easy steps again.
13:05Martha's health improved.
13:06She called me in to talk every morning, always smiling when I walked through the door.
13:10One afternoon, I was trimming the plants in the yard when Sunny came running over.
13:13Leah.
13:14Chloe is here again.
13:16She brought a lot of stuff with her.
13:17I set down my shears.
13:19Since the day she'd come in crying, Chloe had been showing up regularly.
13:22She said she was making up for lost time.
13:24Really, she just had nothing to do and nowhere to be.
13:29Let her in.
13:30I wiped my hands and went to meet her.
13:34Chloe walked in with two attendants behind her, carrying food boxes.
13:37She'd changed a lot.
13:38Less restless.
13:39She dressed simpler now and moved quieter.
13:48I made your favorite, chestnut cake.
13:51I asked the Royal Kitchen for the recipe this time.
13:55Better than anything the Blackwood Kitchen has ever made.
13:58I took a piece and bit into it.
14:00Sweet.
14:00Soft.
14:01Better than I expected.
14:04Good.
14:05Thank you.
14:06So where's Case?
14:08Not home?
14:08He went to the pack training ground.
14:11Something came up.
14:12Chloe nodded and reached for a piece herself.
14:14For a while, neither of us said anything.
14:16Just the wind moving through the yard.
14:18My father wants me to find a new mate.
14:21I looked up.
14:21Don't rush for it.
14:23I know.
14:27After Brad, I don't know how to trust anyone.
14:29She looked at me.
14:30Something flickering in her eyes.
14:31You have a good mate.
14:34Case fights for you, protects you, and he's the strongest alpha in the kingdom.
14:39We just got lucky.
14:40You can't force these things.
14:41Chloe nodded and didn't say anything else.
14:43Just ate her chestnut cake.
14:45The yard went quiet.
14:47Just wind moving through the leaves.
14:49Then she said,
14:51That slap.
14:52Do you really not hold it against me?
14:55Really.
14:56It's in the past.
14:57No point bringing it up.
14:59The truth was, I'd already let it go a long time ago.
15:02She wasn't a bad person.
15:03Just spoiled.
15:04Used to getting her way.
15:06Chloe's eyes went red at the edges.
15:07Thank you.
15:09When I arranged the mating, part of it was because I was scared you and Brad would find your way
15:14back to each other.
15:15But part of it was genuine.
15:17I really did think Case was a good man.
15:19That he wouldn't treat you badly.
15:21We looked at each other and smiled.
15:23All the conflicts were solved.
15:27I just didn't expect him to be faking the whole time.
15:30Chloe laughed, a little embarrassed.
15:32It's in the past.
15:34Isn't this better?
15:39It is.
15:40She nodded.
15:41Can we be friends?
15:42For real?
15:43I won't be like I was before.
15:47Sure.
15:48I nodded.
15:49Something warm moved through my chest.
15:51Letting go of old grudges and coming out the other side with a friend.
15:54That wasn't a bad ending.
15:56We sat in the yard for the rest of the afternoon, eating and talking.
15:59Pack gossip.
16:00Small things.
16:01Nothing important.
16:02The sun came through the leaves and the air was warm and easy.
16:05When Case came back from the training grounds that evening and saw the two of us, surprise
16:09crossed his face.
16:11What are you two happy about?
16:13Talking about you.
16:14Chloe grinned.
16:15About what a liar you are.
16:17Faking the whole thing and fooling everyone.
16:21Case walked over and sat down beside me.
16:24He reached over and took my hand.
16:25Eyes warm.
16:27Tricking you into becoming my Luna?
16:29That's the luckiest thing I've ever done.
16:30My face went red.
16:31I gave him a look.
16:33Chloe burst out laughing.
16:34Alright, I'm leaving you two alone.
16:36Leah, I'll come by tomorrow.
16:37Sure.
16:38Take care.
16:39I watched her go.
16:40Case turned to me.
16:42Are you a good friend now?
16:44Yes.
16:45The past is the past.
16:47No point holding on to it.
16:48He squeezed my hand.
16:50I'm glad you can think that way.
16:52He knew how much I'd been through.
16:54Watching me let it go and just be happy.
16:56I could tell it meant something to him.
16:58We sat side by side at the stone table and looked out at the sky.
17:02Neither of us said much.
17:04We didn't need to.
17:05Days like this, quiet and unhurried, became the rhythm of our life.
17:10Case stayed busy with the pack and with royal matters.
17:13But he always made time.
17:15Sunrises, sunsets.
17:16He spoiled me until I didn't know what to do with it.
17:19Martha was healthy and smiling every day.
17:22The estate was calm and easy again, the way it used to be.
17:26True to his word, Prince Caden petitioned the Lycan King on my behalf.
17:30At my official Luna ceremony, the Lycan King's decree was read aloud.
17:34A formal commendation in front of the entire pack.
17:38The estate was lit up and full of noise that day.
17:41Case lifted the veil and placed it over my head himself, his eyes proud and soft.
17:46The most beautiful Luna.
17:47Then he shifted, right there in front of everyone.
17:51His wolf was massive, dark, broad-shouldered, still.
17:55He lowered himself to the ground and waited.
17:58I climbed onto his back.
17:59He rose slowly, carrying me steady, and lifted his head toward the moon.
18:04The howl that came out of him was long and deep and carried across the entire territory.
18:09One by one, the pack answered.
18:12Howl after howl, rising into the night sky.
18:15I thought about everything it had taken to get here.
18:17A bastard Omega with no wolf, no one to speak for her.
18:21Only I knew how hard the road had been.
18:24And all of it, every bit of the happiness on the other side of it,
18:27came from the man standing behind me.
18:29After the ceremony, Case took me south.
18:32Open land, warm air, water catching the afternoon light.
18:36Far from everything that had tried to take us down.
18:39The rest of our lives stretched out ahead of us.
18:41Every year, every season, together.
18:45After the ceremony, life settled into a new rhythm.
18:48I stood beside Case at every pack meeting, every decision,
18:52every matter that came through the estate gates.
18:54His pack was my pack.
18:56His people were my people.
18:58But he always made time.
19:00A weekend drive with no destination.
19:02A trail through the forest at dawn.
19:05Wherever he thought I'd want to see, he took me there without being asked.
19:09The rest of our lives stretched out ahead of us.
19:11Every year, every season, together.
