Short filmTranscript
00:04I have three handsome and dashing husbands.
00:11Everyone in the kingdom knew I was the female, spoiled badly by her mates.
00:16The finest food, the softest pelts, yet I snapped at them over nothing.
00:21I did as I pleased, for I was loved.
00:26And I knew it.
00:27Then a stranger she-wolf came to the kingdom.
00:30Where I was sharp and difficult, she was warm and bright, and every male noticed.
00:37Within days, unmaided males lingered outside her door, falling over themselves to do her favors.
00:44Yet she leaned on no one.
00:46She raised her pup alone and built a life from nothing.
00:52Gradually, my first mate Kale found me unbearable.
00:57When he left, the other two stood at my side and raged on my behalf.
01:01This is your choice, Kale!
01:02Don't you dare come crawling back to Sierra later!
01:04Not long after, my second mate Red left too.
01:07I looked at Zane and felt my throat tighten.
01:10Zane, do you think I have a bad temper too?
01:13He ruffled my hair.
01:14Stop overthinking it.
01:15They're the ones who don't know what they have.
01:16Then one evening, I watched him shift into tiger form and trail close behind Lyra.
01:21Head low, eyes soft, silently begging her to touch him.
01:25I turned and ran, stumbling all the way to my father's hall.
01:29Dad, cancel the selection!
01:30I'll marry into the MerClan.
01:32Have you lost your mind?
01:34That's the MerClan!
01:35Every other female prays not to be chosen, and you're volunteering to go?
01:39My eyes stung as I twisted the hem of my dress tightly.
01:44The MerClan had no females of their own.
01:46Each year, they relied on marriages with land clans to continue their bloodline.
01:50Unlike land males, MerMales were powerful, but fiercely possessive.
01:54They never shared their mates with anyone.
01:56Yet, no female wanted to live on those damp, cold islands.
01:59Did they do something to you again?
02:02Don't! Dad, please, don't!
02:05Please stop fighting for me!
02:07When Kale and Red left, I'd run to him in tears.
02:10That Omega Lyra had been moved farther and farther away, but they still never came back.
02:15The coldness in their eyes when they left still made me tremble.
02:18Sierra, stop bullying others. Lyra did nothing wrong, yet you nearly got her driven out.
02:21Without your father's crown, what exactly do you have?
02:24I can't believe I ever loved someone like you.
02:25That night, I clung to Zane, the only one who stayed, and cried until I passed out.
02:30But now, even he was gone.
02:32In the silence, Dad let out a long sigh.
02:35You are my only daughter, Sierra.
02:37I hate to let you go so far away, but I can't bear to see you wronged either.
02:41The selection is in three days.
02:44Think it over and come back to me, okay?
02:46I stepped out of the King's Hall.
02:49Zane was waiting outside.
02:51He leaned against the doorpost.
02:53Held a small, yellow flower, staring at it quietly.
03:01He'd begged it from Lyra earlier, tail wagging.
03:08When he saw me, he hid the flower.
03:13His eyes curved into a smile.
03:16Sierra?
03:17I wiped my eyes and walked straight past him.
03:21Sierra, where are you going?
03:23I didn't answer.
03:24I didn't look back.
03:26After a few steps, the footsteps behind me stopped.
03:30I spun around sharply.
03:32Zane stood far away.
03:34He frowned, carefully protecting the small, yellow flower from the wind.
03:38My heart skipped a beat.
03:40I shouted at him angrily.
03:42Zane!
03:42Why aren't you coming?
03:44Clanmates nearby turned to stare.
03:49He only lifted his eyes slightly.
03:51The sunset stretched his shadow long.
03:54Panic rose in my chest.
03:56I stamped my foot, gritted my teeth, and started toward him.
04:00But then he spoke.
04:04Sierra, after today, I won't be walking you home anymore.
04:10He turned and walked towards Lyra's house.
04:14Winter was coming, and I was standing outside in a thin layer of clothing,
04:18pale as I watched Zane step out.
04:22The chamber was empty.
04:23The fire Zane lit that morning still crackled.
04:26I tried to add wood, but a spark burned my hand.
04:28A sting that made me almost pout until reality hit.
04:32No one was here to care for me anymore.
04:34My nails dug into my palms.
04:36I jumped up and ran outside.
04:37Every step echoed my panic.
04:39Finally, I knocked on that door, messy and breathless.
04:42But it wasn't Zane who answered.
04:44Kale froze when he saw me.
04:45His eyes scanned my wounds, and an unfamiliar emotion flickered across his face.
04:50What are you doing here?
04:51He was my first bonded m-mate.
04:53When he was still beside me, he'd scold me for running recklessly, for getting hurt.
04:57Then follow me.
04:58Clean up every mess I left behind.
04:59He never held back his sharp words.
05:01But after each cold look, his thumb brushed away my tears.
05:05His clumsy kisses igniting warmth I pretended not to feel.
05:08I didn't meet his gaze.
05:10Instead, I stared anxiously inside.
05:12Kale's hand on the door tightened.
05:14He let out a cold laugh.
05:15A shiver in the air.
05:16Zane looks like you didn't clean up well enough.
05:18She followed the trail straight here.
05:20What if Lyra finds out?
05:22Winter was coming.
05:23And I stood outside, pale and trembling.
05:26The wind cut into my skin like shards of ice.
05:28As I watched Zane step out.
05:30His clothes were messy.
05:31Hair disheveled.
05:33A fresh bite mark stark against his neck.
05:35He glanced impatiently at Kale.
05:37Then at me.
05:38Irritation flared in his eyes.
05:39Sending chills down my spine.
05:41I stepped back involuntarily.
05:44Suddenly, a warm blanket enveloped me.
05:46I looked up.
05:47Kale's jaw was tight, tense.
05:48Zane stepped in front of me.
05:50His familiar, gentle look returning.
05:52Sierra?
05:53What happened to you?
05:54Zane, I won't beg for those little red props from beyond the mountains anymore.
05:58I won't complain that your fur isn't soft enough.
06:01I won't cling to you and chatter when you're tired.
06:03I'll only have you as my mate from now on.
06:05I don't want anyone else.
06:07Please don't leave me alone, okay?
06:09Oblivious to Kale's darkening expression beside me.
06:12Zane listened, but his gaze drifted to my scraped, bleeding knees.
06:16You promised you'd stay with me forever.
06:20Zane, you can't break your word.
06:21I...
06:23But I grabbed only air.
06:24Zane pulled his hand away.
06:26It's cold outside.
06:27Let's go in first, alright?
06:29The room was warm.
06:30I sank into a fur-padded wooden chair.
06:32Everything neat and inviting.
06:34The walls were smooth, and firewood stacked in the corner.
06:37I thought of my cold, neglected room.
06:39The roof leak remained.
06:41Firewood only chopped when it ran out.
06:43On chilly days, I dared not complain, afraid I'd be a burden.
06:46I snuck into his arms, trembling, scared he'd leave too.
06:50Muffled voices drifted from the next room.
06:52Going soft on her?
06:54I'm warning you, if you regret this, don't think about coming back.
06:58No, I just don't want her running to the king crying again and causing trouble for Lyra.
07:02She's easy to handle.
07:03My mind went blank.
07:05Kale laughed softly.
07:07Footsteps receded.
07:08Then someone knelt before me.
07:10Zane dabbed my bleeding knees with a cloth.
07:13Sierra, I'm Lyra's mate now.
07:15You're the king's daughter.
07:16Every good male in this kingdom would line up for you.
07:18Paused, smiled faintly.
07:20Didn't you always say you'd throw us out and find someone better?
07:23Those were just angry words, weren't they?
07:25Why had he never cared before, but taken them seriously now?
07:29I looked at him through blurred eyes, shaking my head repeatedly.
07:33I didn't mean it!
07:34Zane noticed the tears in my eyes.
07:36His expression hardened, but carefully, he reached out, wiped them away, and patted my head once.
07:42Then he stood in silence, moving to get water and medicine.
07:45A crash.
07:46Something heavy hit me hard.
07:48I turned to find Lyra's pup behind me.
07:51Bad person!
07:52You hurt my mama!
07:55Get out!
07:56I threw my arm up instinctively, but splashing water flew back.
07:59Boiling drops hit his bare calves and hands.
08:02The cub froze, then screamed.
08:04The front door swung open.
08:05A gust of cold air hit me.
08:07Then a firm grip seized my neck.
08:08Bullying Lyra isn't enough.
08:10You even come here to bully a cub?
08:12Sierra, you never run out of tricks, do you?
08:15Red's departure was the harshest of all.
08:17Because of my desperate pleas to King Aldrich, Lyra almost faced expulsion.
08:21And yet, Red stepped forward silently, volunteering for the deadliest border patrol in the kingdom, where no one had ever
08:28survived.
08:28He risked his life for Lyra and her pup's right to stay.
08:31The last look he gave me, ice cold.
08:36I was stupid.
08:40The greatest regret of my life is ever putting you above everything else.
08:45I couldn't understand it.
08:47Betrayed first, yet they spoke with such honor.
08:50But my grip weakened with every second.
08:53Tears blurred my vision.
08:55When I finally looked at him, there was nothing left in my eyes but gray.
08:59Red's pupils contracted.
09:01Panic flared.
09:02He saw I was choking and let go quickly.
09:04I fell hard, bent over.
09:06Barely able to breathe.
09:10Zane rushed toward me, but just as he tried to pull me close, Lyra pushed the door open.
09:14He instinctively pushed me farther away.
09:17I rolled back, my body numb with pain.
09:20The world spinning around me.
09:22Kale stepped forward instinctively, then froze.
09:26Red's eyebrow rose at Zane.
09:28Didn't you say you'd protect Sierra forever?
09:31Why are you here too?
09:32Cruel smile spread across his face.
09:35Ah, so you can't stand her either!
09:39Funny how all three of us always end up wanting the same female.
09:43His gaze dropped to me, a short, contemptuous laugh escaping him.
09:47Zane's eyes darkened.
09:48He met my begging gaze, hesitated, and looked away.
09:51I forgot how to breathe, frozen in place.
09:54Your arm.
09:55All eyes shifted to my forearm.
09:57Expecting tears, they saw silence instead.
10:00I stood up on my own.
10:01I looked at Lyra.
10:03Her eyes curved like water.
10:05Even in midwinter, she could coax precious vegetables from poor soil.
10:09Perhaps in this kingdom, no one disliked her except me.
10:12Maybe I was too abnormal.
10:14Lyra patted her sobbing cub.
10:16Boy, you did something wrong.
10:18Apologize to Sierra, okay?
10:20The pup buried his face in her neck.
10:22He's still small, he got scared.
10:24Let me apologize on his behalf.
10:25I have good burn ointment there.
10:27I'll get it right away.
10:27No.
10:28Silence fell.
10:28All eyes on me.
10:29I want him to apologize.
10:31Lyra's smile faded, her brow creasing with worry.
10:34He's just a pup.
10:36Asking him right now might be...
10:38Apologize.
10:39Sierra!
10:40Red stepped sharply in front of Lyra and the pup, his face darkening.
10:43Why are you picking on a child?
10:45Lyra already apologized.
10:47Do you want to make him cry to be satisfied?
10:49Kale said nothing.
10:50His furrowed brows volumes.
10:52Even Zane shook his head gently.
10:53The three beasts who once belonged to me now stood against me.
10:57Lyra touched Red's sleeve and whispered something to the pup.
11:00He finally turned, muttering...
11:05Mumbled, reluctant, wronged.
11:07Yet the scowls remained.
11:08Lyra looked at me, apology written across her face.
11:11Sierra, the burn can't wait.
11:13I'll help you treat it first.
11:15I'll help you treat it first.
11:16She turned to fetch the medicine.
11:17I felt icy all over, unable to stand.
11:20No need.
11:21The words fell in a rush.
11:22Before hearing a response, I slammed the door shut, stumbling into the biting wind.
11:31Made up your mind?
11:32I nodded quietly, saying nothing.
11:34After that night, I locked myself in my chambers for two full days.
11:38It's a long way to the southern shore.
11:40We leave tonight.
11:42Pack whatever you want to bring.
11:44I shook my head with a bitter smile.
11:45I don't want to take anything.
11:46The night before the selection, every unmated female in the kingdom tossed and turned, consumed with fear, terrified of being
11:53the bride chosen for the Mare Clan.
11:55Word spread quickly that I had seen the king.
11:57Soon, someone knocked, shattering the brief silence.
12:01What did you say to the chief this?
12:03Zane and Kale followed closely behind Red into the room, their gazes fixed on the clothes and items scattered all
12:08over the floor.
12:09Their pupils constricted, steps coming to a complete halt.
12:14What will you do?
12:16Kill me?
12:18The room fell into a deathly silence.
12:20Zane stepped forward, and cautiously.
12:22Sierra, stop being stubborn.
12:24Just tell us, what did you say to the king?
12:27Asking myself, would they believe me if I explained?
12:30Would they want me to stay?
12:31After thinking for a long time, only two words remained in my heart.
12:35No.
12:36Yes, I want to drive Lyra away.
12:39I, the three of them, froze in place instantly.
12:41I hate that she took you from me.
12:43So I went to beg my dad.
12:45I told him, as long as Lyra stays in this kingdom, I'll make trouble every day.
12:52Making everyone unable to live in peace.
12:55Sierra!
12:56How dare you?
12:58I dare!
12:59My father has always doted on me the most, hasn't he?
13:02Since I was little, as long as I cried and begged, he'd agree to anything.
13:08The king won't act on your word alone.
13:14You'll find out tomorrow morning.
13:16All three left with dark faces.
13:19Father was already waiting by the carriage.
13:21His eyes were bloodshot.
13:22He draped a thick fur coat over my shoulders.
13:25Medicine inside, and food, and everything else you'll need.
13:30The coast is humid.
13:32Take care of yourself.
13:34I climbed onto the carriage and glanced back at the kingdom one last time in the morning light.
13:39When I turned around again, there was nothing but determination in my eyes.
13:43I will.
13:44They hadn't walked far before Red's guilt flooded in.
13:49Did I go too far just now?
13:51The question came out of nowhere.
13:53Don't look at me like that.
13:56I thought her behavior was weird just now.
13:58He recalled her room, cold and gloomy like an underground cellar.
14:02The messy floor everywhere.
14:05And her lifeless expression.
14:07Did we take this too far?
14:09He voiced what everyone thought, but dared not say.
14:12Red exploded with rage and started venting his anger on the tree.
14:16This is all your fault!
14:18You said we had to make Sierra chair us and grow independent.
14:21So we acted this play, and you made me be the villain!
14:25He stared at his own hands, unable to bear thinking about what he had done.
14:29What if she hates me forever?
14:32The question struck all three of them deep inside.
14:36The selection is tomorrow.
14:37Every young woman must attend.
14:39What if Sierra gets chosen?
14:41I have to go find her now.
14:44Zane grabbed Red's arm.
14:46The king will never allow his own daughter to be chosen.
14:49What if you do?
14:52I don't care anymore!
14:54We're the done the way you found Tamari.
14:56This has to end tomorrow.
14:58I quit if it goes on like this.
15:00The tense atmosphere eased slightly.
15:03Red, you've been gone for a while.
15:05It's your turn to help Lyra test her new medicine tonight.
15:07On the surface, they made me Lyra's partner.
15:10But in reality, they just wanted her to act in this play.
15:14Lyra's condition was simple.
15:16They took turns testing her medicine.
15:18Her understanding of treatment was beyond that of the royal physicians.
15:22He had even been researching fever-reducing medicine.
15:25On this continent, a fever could easily take the life of a cub.
15:29It was a more terrifying shadow than any beast.
15:31To get stable test subjects, Lyra agreed to this deal.
15:35However, just as the three of them thought their plan was foolproof, Layla spoke up.
15:39You want her to become stronger and cherish what she has.
15:43I understand that.
15:45But from her perspective, it might make her feel like all the people she trusts most have pushed her off
15:51the same cliff together.
15:52I don't mind playing my part.
15:55But are you sure you've thought this through?
15:57At that time, none of them really listened.
15:59The result was obvious.
16:01The morning of the selection had barely touched the sky.
16:03Red spotted a figure crouched by the door from afar.
16:06As he approached, he saw Zane, sitting on the stone steps, hugging his knees.
16:10The dew dampened his hair.
16:12He looked up at the sound of footsteps, eyes bloodshot.
16:16You waited out here all night?
16:17Zane said nothing, only nodded toward the side, where a neat pile of firewood lay.
16:22Kale caught up, frowning.
16:24You snuck out in the middle of the night to chop wood?
16:26Zane's voice was rough, quiet.
16:29I couldn't sleep.
16:30Red stared, conflicted and annoyed.
16:33So you're the only hero here, sneaking around to do favors?
16:36I didn't go in.
16:38I just chopped some wood.
16:41Regret burned in his chest.
16:43If only he'd chopped enough wood before yesterday.
16:45Kale held Red back.
16:47Enough.
16:48Right now, the only thing that matters is finding Sierra and telling her the truth.
16:51The three of them stood at the door, frozen in place.
16:57Fine.
16:58I'll do it.
17:02Sierra?
17:03Are you awake?
17:04Silence.
17:04Twice more.
17:05A bad feeling crept over them.
17:07They exchanged a glance and threw the door open.
17:10The room was a mess.
17:11Just as last night.
17:13A rabbit fur vest lay alone, dusty, discarded like trash.
17:17The stove was cold, the water jar full.
17:20Nothing missing, yet everything gone.
17:22Zane's gaze fell on worm-eaten red berries, tiny bite marks.
17:26His heart dropped.
17:27He stepped forward, knocking over the basket.
17:30A rotten, sickening smell filled the air.
17:32Every berry bore two bites, like she hated it, yet had no choice.
17:36Kale grabbed Zane's shoulder.
17:38I've been wanting to ask since before we came in.
17:40The hearth was cold!
17:42The food tray hadn't been touched and you just- you just left?
17:45You left her here alone, in the cold, eating this?
17:49Zane's lips quivered, words failing.
17:51He'd assumed she'd go to find her father without food or fire, never imagining she'd
17:55stay here, eating these berries.
17:57If I'd known, I would've stayed.
17:59I should've been the last one.
18:02Zane sank to the ground, pale, watching Kale tear the room apart.
18:06Tear the room apart like a madman.
18:11A drop of water fell through the roof's hole, landing before Kale.
18:14Red, usually fiercest, was silent, despair flashing in his eyes at the berries.
18:19Then, outside, a horn blared.
18:21The square was already crowded.
18:23Unmated females stood gathered together, tense and quiet.
18:26Their families and friends pressed close on all sides.
18:29The three of them pushed through the crowd, searching for one familiar face.
18:33Once, twice, she was nowhere.
18:35Cold sweat broke across Zane's forehead.
18:37He grabbed the arm of a female he knew.
18:39You seen Sierra?
18:39She shook her head.
18:40No.
18:41Don't you three look after her!
18:43The words hit him like a slap.
18:45He let go of her arm without a word.
18:46Another female nearby tugged at her sleeve and whispered,
18:49Did you forget?
18:50Sierra doesn't have mates anymore?
18:53Those three mates already!
18:55She gestured with her eyes.
18:56The other female understood at once and smiled awkwardly at Zane.
19:00Kale rushed to my dad, King Aldrich, his voice urgent.
19:04Your majesty!
19:05Where is Sierra?
19:06Have you seen-
19:07My dad turned at the words, his gaze sweeping over the three of them.
19:10His expression was perfectly flat.
19:13Sierra is not here.
19:15All three of them paled.
19:17Red's voice came out broken.
19:20Then where-where did she go?
19:22My dad didn't answer him.
19:24He turned to face the gathered crowd.
19:25People of this kingdom, I have called you here to make an announcement.
19:32A murmur erupted from the crowd.
19:33There is a woman who has volunteered and settled for saying.
19:41What?
19:42Who would be so foolish?
19:44Is she out of her mind?
19:45That's the mer-clan.
19:47The voices broke over each other, getting louder.
19:49The answer was already forming in the air before anyone said it.
19:53But all three of them stood there, as if they still couldn't make themselves believe it.
19:57Impossible!
19:58Who?
19:58Who is it?
19:59Dad's gaze moved to the three of them.
20:01Hollow-eyed, falling apart where they stood.
20:04It was not anger.
20:05It was disappointment.
20:06My daughter.
20:07Sierra.
20:08Kale reacted first, sprinting out of the square.
20:11Red and Zane followed close behind.
20:13They burst through the kingdom gates, racing down the path to the outside.
20:17The cold wind slapped their faces.
20:19Zane shifted his strap, tiger form blurring into full speed, but faltered after a few steps.
20:25Legs weak.
20:26He leaned on his knees, gasping for air.
20:29Tears hit the dirt.
20:31Kale stopped beside him, staring at the winding path vanishing into the mountains.
20:35It's too late.
20:36She left last night.
20:37We can't catch her.
20:42Why?
20:44We only wanted her to...
20:46We just wanted her to...
20:47They had only wanted the spoiled, headstrong girl to feel loss.
20:51To learn not to take everything for granted.
20:53To make her understand, they mattered.
20:55That losing them would hurt.
20:57To make her...
20:59Love them more.
21:00But they forgot.
21:02They were the ones who had spoiled her.
21:04They had given indulgence, preference.
21:07Making her think the world revolved around her.
21:10Then, suddenly, they took it all away.
21:12Telling her,
21:13You're wrong.
21:14You're too bad.
21:15We don't want you like this.
21:22Alone on the road to the Arctic Circle.
21:24My only companions were a child and a fading memory.
21:29Want some water?
21:30The little mermaid blew a bubble, dragged himself over to hug my leg, listless.
21:35Mama, don't want to leave you.
21:37Tail hurts.
21:39Three years since I left the kingdom, I'd become a mother for the first time.
21:43All my sharp edges had long been smoothed, softening.
21:46Suddenly, strong arms wrapped around me from behind.
21:48A faint sea salt scent lingered.
21:50Caspin leaned close, a little wronged.
21:52Not that I've forgotten.
21:53You have three males waiting for you up north.
21:55I never hid my past.
21:56The Sea Clan's possessiveness was truly well-deserved.
21:58But I never thought he'd insist on bringing the cub, wanting to go back north with me.
22:03If you two hadn't followed, I wouldn't have to take care of you both.
22:06I would have been at the kingdom days ago.
22:09My fault entirely.
22:10The thought of being trapped on that island, even with him, made my chest tight.
22:15But Sierra, if you'd asked me to wait on the island, I'd go crazy.
22:19My face blushed instantly.
22:22Beside us, Kof had grabbed a fistful of Caspin's deep blue wavy hair,
22:27and was tugging at it with cheerful curiosity.
22:30The carriage rocked.
22:33We were almost at the northern kingdom.
22:36Caspian and Cove couldn't be far from water for long.
22:38I found a clear stream not far from the kingdom.
22:42After settling the anxious my husband and son, I went to the gate alone.
22:46The young guard at the gate didn't recognize me.
22:49He looked over the Myrclan clothes in confusion, as if he wanted to question me.
22:53Then an older guard leaned out from behind him, took one look at my face, and went wide-eyed.
22:58Sierra?
22:59You're back?
23:00His shout turned several nearby heads.
23:02It really is her.
23:04She's back?
23:05Didn't she go to the Myrclan?
23:06She looks... different, somehow.
23:10I greeted them and walked toward Dad's hall.
23:12Dad had already heard the news.
23:14He walked out and bumped into me head-on.
23:16His eyes went red almost immediately.
23:19Sierra?
23:20Is that my Sierra?
23:22Holding back tears, I rushed forward and hugged his hunched body tightly.
23:26Dad's arms...
