Short filmTranscript
00:01I was born with heavy breasts and lush curves my half-sister Chloe was afraid her
00:07mate Brad would go feral over me so she sold me to an impotent alpha she patted
00:13my shoulder who knows maybe he's good at other things three months later I was
00:21begging for mercy every night funny he seemed good at everything
00:28case valerius the blackwood packs alpha the lycan king's most trusted war commander he was carried
00:33back from the battlefield soaked in blood someone suggested a mate bond shares life force if alpha
00:40case was bound to a living healthy mate her strength could flow into him and pull him back
00:45Chloe rushed to play matchmaker and presented me to Martha before I could object I had no way to
00:49refuse if I wouldn't agree she'd transfer me to serve 60 year old elder Kevin I knew she resented
00:55my history with her mate I dropped to my knees and swore to the moon goddess I swear Chloe I
01:02had no
01:02feelings for Brad Chloe jabbed a finger at my forehead fury in her eyes what good is a vow do
01:08you have any idea how distracting you are I hunched my shoulders tears slid down on my cheeks just look
01:15at that ample body and those charming curves parading your body in front of every male in the clan who
01:20among them would not lose their minds at the smell of you I wanted to tell her to bind my
01:26chest I'd
01:26wrapped myself layer after layer in the sweltering heat until I broke out in a rash her expression
01:31softened she wiped my tears it's not that I don't trust you it's that I don't trust males do you
01:39know
01:39how powerful alpha cases if my mother and Martha weren't old friends you wouldn't even have this
01:45opportunity Chloe I don't want to be anyone's offering I'd rather scrub kitchen floors just don't
01:52make me two sharp slaps landed across my face my cheek burned Leah are you out of your mind if
02:00I
02:01hadn't vouched for you Martha wouldn't have given you a second glance you wouldn't even be worthy of
02:06being cases mate the maid burst in breathless miss Chloe word from the Valerius estate alpha case has
02:13woken up Chloe dragged me straight to Valerius estate enormous I followed her through the main
02:19hall to a set of heavy double doors pulled half shut through the gap I could make out a man's
02:24shape
02:24in the bed thin motionless chest rattling with shallow coughs every few minutes Martha stood on
02:29our side eyes red thank you for everything you've done for case I won't destroy a girl's future over
02:35Chloe's eyes moved quick and calculating as Valerius the bond should still be completed
02:40Leah arrived the same day case woke up that's the moon goddess guiding us seal the bond properly
02:46her life force will keep pulling him back toward health before she could speak the healer Ella stepped
02:51out expression tight alpha case has regained consciousness but an arrow struck his inner thigh
02:57during battle I'm afraid he will no longer be able to unable to do what he will no longer be
03:04able to
03:05get hard Martha's knees gave out I caught her before she hit the floor she looked up at me with
03:10hollowed eyes Leah knowing this are you still willing yes she's been looking forward to it Chloe was
03:18already answering for me of course she is she's just an omega with no prospects she should be grateful
03:24I didn't speak right away my mind went to my past there was a young wolf in the poor quarter
03:30behind
03:30our estate I first saw him through the fence gaps thin wrists hollow cheeks hunched over a cracked
03:36bowl with nothing in it I started passing food through the gaps bread first then soup then whatever
03:42I had day after day I watched him change the hollows in his cheeks filled out his shoulders broadened he
03:50started training before dawn running laps around the back wall while I was still half asleep he was going
03:55to enter the warrior trials I knew it before he told me when he passed I went to find him
04:00that same
04:01night I was happy I remember it clearly I was genuinely happy I knocked on the gate he didn't
04:05open it his voice came Leah I'm betrothed now it wouldn't be proper then a soft thud in the dirt
04:11at my
04:11feet a pouch of silver consider my debt repaid I stood there for a moment then I picked it up
04:16and
04:16walked away that wolf became Chloe's mate Brad I acted like I'd never known him Chloe found out anyway
04:23I snapped back to reality I gathered my skirts and knelt in front of Martha my lady I'm willing
04:30I'll complete the bond care for case and serve you as long as you need me Luna Martha kept her
04:37word and
04:38prepared a dignified mating dress for me Chloe deliberately chose a day when Brad was away
04:42on pack business to send me off she walked me to the door guilt on her face even though case
04:47can't get
04:47hard at least you'll be spared the pain of bearing pups don't worry an alpha who can't perform in that
04:55area is probably exceptional in every other honestly none of what Chloe said had even crossed my mind
05:00I told myself I was simply moving to a new household case was too weak to stand through the full
05:06mate
05:06blessing ritual I completed the bond rites beside his ceremonial sword instead Martha watched from the
05:12front eyes wet the whole time when it was done I was alpha cases mate the mating chamber was quiet
05:19I pushed the door open carefully case was already inside half reclined against the headboard in a white
05:26bathrobe he turned when he heard me up close he was strikingly handsome sharp jaw dark eyes the kind of
05:34face that didn't need color in it to hold attention I had no intention of taking a mate he said
05:39with a
05:39low voice if it doesn't trouble you we can treat this as a sibling arrangement he pointed to the chaise
05:45along the far wall tonight the bed is yours I'll take that tomorrow you move to the guest quarters
05:52all right I nodded he had thought of everything it wasn't what I'd expected before the ritual one of
05:59the older maids had pulled me aside and pressed something into my hands a small handbook worn at
06:05the corners she'd whispered with a strange look there are other ways between mates you might find
06:11it useful I had no idea what she meant until I opened it heat pooled in my core just from
06:16looking at the
06:17pages is it too hot case was watching me from the bed eyes direct unblinking the dress is heavy
06:25I'm a little warm then wash up and rest he pulled the blanket over himself and turned toward the wall
06:32within minutes his breathing evened out I set the handbook down on the vanity and took down my hair
06:38then the layered robes piece by piece until I was standing in nothing but my nightgown I turned to
06:44the mirror the thin fabric clung to every curve heavy breasts straining against the cloth slim waist
06:50giving way to the flare of my hips I walked straight into cases gaze he wasn't asleep his chest rose
06:57hard
06:57the tips of his ears went red his throat worked as he swallowed I grabbed my outer robe and pressed
07:03it
07:03against my chest alpha I thought you were asleep a long pause I could sleep later my breath hitched he
07:13rose slowly to his feet his tall frame casting a shadow over me
07:26the handbook's images came flooding in my breathing shifted without me meaning it to somehow falling into
07:32the same rhythm as his then case turned and walked to the door the moment cool night air rushed in
07:38I
07:38snapped back to my senses he'd already disappeared into the darkness I turned it over in my mind when
07:45he'd looked at me just now his eyes had flashed with something unmistakably like shock had my figure
07:51actually frightened him before I lay down I made a firm decision tomorrow morning I was binding my chest at
07:57least one full loop tighter I was hovering somewhere between sleep and waking when case slipped back in the
08:03tips of his hair still beaded with water he'd apparently gone to shower by morning he was already
08:08gone ivy came in to help me dress from the corridor outside came the sound of a man once then
08:16again
08:17Martha's headmaid's voice carried clearly through the door alpha case why didn't you call someone to
08:22heat the water it's already summer but the nights are still cold of course you've caught a chill
08:27I'll go brew tea right now I glanced at ivy does the alpha usually take cold showers I honestly don't
08:35know miss I dismissed her and locked the door I wound a strip of cloth tight over my undergarments then
08:41pulled on the most conservative dress I could find in the wardrobe high neck loose cut heavy fabric
08:48then I went to living room case was already there when I arrived seated beside Martha she lit up the
08:54moment she saw me her whole face warm with welcome until case coughed and the warmth vanished instantly
09:01cage I have a few private words for Leah go rest for a while case rose and left without a
09:07word
09:08Martha waved me over and took both my hands in hers eyes glistening sweet girl our case is lucky to
09:16have
09:16you
09:19the pack healer says the injury drained his life force there's no telling how long he has left
09:25some of the elders suggested I find a child for him to adopt to carry on the bloodline
09:32but if I did that wouldn't I be stealing your whole future from you I'm already grateful you came into
09:39this family to save case I can't let you sacrifice the rest of your life on top of that I've
09:44thought
09:45it through if case's time does come I'll have him issue you a formal mate release your future stays
09:50protected and I'll see to it that you receive property and a place of your own I reached up and
09:56wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes chest tight with an ache I couldn't name mrs valerius
10:02thank you for looking out for me I'd come here thinking of myself as nothing more than a transferred
10:06omega servant I never imagined she would think this far ahead on my behalf my thoughts drifted to
10:12the mother I had never known if she had been alive if I had grown up under a mother's protection
10:16I never would have ended up in any of the situations I'd been through Martha laughed through her tears
10:21look at me I've gone and made you cry too she squeezed my hands Leah there's no need to be
10:27so
10:27formal call me mom just like case does she took a breath so I have a proposition for you
10:34Chloe mentioned you know how to prepare medicinal soups I'd like you to take over cases daily meals
10:40and care I just want him to live a little longer that's my one selfish wish by the end her
10:45voice
10:45had gone rough I nodded I headed to the kitchen to gather ingredients the last time I'd prepared
10:50medicinal soup was several years ago back when Brad was not yet Chloe's mate he'd lost both parents and
10:56lived alone in a rundown unit skipping meals to save every cent for his warrior training
11:02one day I found him collapsed at our back gate and brought him around out of sympathy I dug through
11:07my mother's old healer journals and prepared medicinal meals for him every day to rebuild his strength
11:13only the two of us ever knew about it from the looks of things he was the one who told
11:17Chloe just to
11:19get me driven out the lengths he had gone to were truly something I carried the steaming soup to the
11:25bedroom and found case directing servants to pack up his belongings alpha what's this about weren't we
11:32agreed that I was moving the guest room his sharply handsome face didn't shift so much as a fraction
11:36I have fewer things it makes more sense for me to move at least eat first I set the food
11:42on the table
11:43he gave it a brief glance and sat down
11:48you can leave this kind of thing to the maid from now on it's no different coming from me
11:54it is different his voice remained flat and cool have ivy bring it from now on he finished the soup
12:01in a few quick swallows said a few words to the servants and swept past me in that moment I
12:07confirmed
12:08one thing alpha case couldn't stand the sight of me I followed his instructions and had ivy deliver
12:14his daily healing meals to the study from then on Martha couldn't stop singing my praises the pack
12:19healer says case's condition has stabilized significantly I can see the color coming back
12:24to his face Leah that's entirely because of you delighted she pressed a gold bracelet into my hands
12:31back in my room I tucked it into my jewelry box which had been slowly filling with pieces
12:36Martha had gifted me since my arrival Leah you never wear any of the of these isn't it a waste
12:42to
12:42just put them away how is it a waste every one of these can be converted to cash that's my
12:48security
12:48fund but lady Martha gave these to you personally are you really going to sell all of them not right
12:54now but if the mate bond is ever severed naturally I'd sell them and keep the money on hand ivy's
12:59expression shifted to pure bewilderment as she turned away she dropped her voice to a murmur
13:08alpha alpha alpha I spun around and met a pair of ink dark eyes martha's eyesight must truly be
13:14failing her case looked worse than ever case's face was even paler than before his gaze was sharp and
13:21cutting fixed on me with cold precision the look unsettled me completely but I didn't dare let a single
13:27trace of a show alpha is there something you need a journal we looked together I checked the shelves
13:35he checked the writing desk neither of us spoke I spotted the journal pushed to the very back of
13:41the top shelf behind a row of my mother's medical notes I reached up on my toes my fingertips just
13:46grazed
13:47the cover case's hand came over mine warm steady he reached past me without effort and closed his hand
13:54around the journal I turned my head his face was right there closer than I'd realized he was looking
14:01down at me then I lost my footing and pitched straight into him my heavy breasts hit his chest
14:07first my waist went straight into his palm his hand catching me before he could react case didn't
14:13step back his ear tips went red his throat worked as he swallowed when he exhaled the breath came out
14:20uneven against the top of my head his eyes flashed gold for a second then green I scrambled upright
14:27face burning your journal he took it without a word and walked out perfect my standing in his
14:33eyes had just sunk even lower after that day I made every effort to avoid crossing paths with case
14:38he was injured and recovering he needed to stay calm but there was one more thing bothering me
14:44Brad had been sending notes three times already I hadn't opened a single one just dropped them in
14:50a box then Ivy pressed one into my hand that morning it's not just a note this time he's here
14:55side entrance says he won't leave until you come out I clenched my fist and walked out I didn't
15:00notice the figure that followed from the far end of the courtyard Brad was standing at the gate
15:05Leah you finally came you should be calling me mrs valerius he paused dropped his voice mrs valerius do
15:14you have any idea how many times you've put me in an impossible position with these meetings
15:18i know i just wanted to tell you i'll be securing more power in the pack soon i won't need
15:25chloe's
15:26father backing me anymore he stepped closer i'll buy a house Leah come with me anything's better than
15:32staying with a dying man he reached for me i stepped back you want me as your mistress brad nodded
15:40completely serious i laughed why would i give up being the alpha's mate to be your mistress the
15:46whole pack knows case is dying he won't last and he can't even stand up anymore his eyes dropped
15:54deliberately to my chest isn't that a waste disgust surged through me brad i will never be
16:02anyone's mistress case fought on the front lines for this pack those injuries are his honor you've
16:10benefited from every battle he won and you're standing here calling him less of a man you're
16:16the one who's less come near me again and every note you've sent goes straight to chloe how do you
16:23think that ends for you his face went white i swung the gate shut i turned around and came face
16:30to face
16:30with case white t-shirt standing less than half a foot away his full height bearing down on me alpha
16:35i managed a faint edge flickered across his expression wasn't it my mate just a moment ago
16:41why so formal all of a sudden i looked down and started walking please don't misunderstand as long
16:48as i'm in this estate i honor this bond completely fast it's getting late i should go make your evening
16:54meal i moved to step past him his hand closed around my arm i lost my footing and pitched straight
16:59into him my heavy breasts against his chest my waist caught in his grip i looked up his face was
17:05inches
17:06from mine his eyes were deep and unreadable one tilt forward and our lips would have touched his breath
17:12hit my face warm my breath hitched heat pooled low in my core case swallowed hard as long as i
17:21remain in
17:21this estate each word slow deliberate you're counting down the days until you can leave i couldn't
17:28exactly tell him i'll leave the day you die no nothing like that i shifted in his grip alpha you're
17:34hurting my arm did you mean every word you said just now i blinked and asked which part he let
17:41out a
17:42quiet breath and released me i bolted and i noticed for the first time his face had actual color in
17:49it
17:49his cheeks were just as red as mine that night i had a strange dream case's lips grazed slowly along
17:57my cheek his fingers hooked into the strap of my slip voice dropping to a low murmur does my luna
18:03want
18:03this i nodded like someone completely under a spell then a fierce consuming kiss caught my lips and wouldn't
18:10let go i jolted awake in a tangle of sheets heart still hammering breathless ivy knocked and came in i
18:18asked
18:18her to bring a basin of cold water she stared at my sweat damp hair and murmured it really is
18:24getting
18:24hotter i splashed cold water onto my face and then it hit me that first night case cold shower
18:32surely he hadn't also been no impossible he was injured and recovering he was supposed to be keeping
18:39himself calm at midday martha's attendant arrived martha would like dinner in the garden tonight she asks
18:45that you'd be sure to come i've been making excuses to avoid the main dining hall for days
18:49just to steer clear of case but martha had gone out of her way to personally extend the invitation
18:54i couldn't say no i stepped into the garden a sprawling rose of sharon was in full bloom
18:59a gust of wind shook loose a handful of deep crimson petals drifting down onto the stone table
19:05covered with every dish i loved most martha smiled and gestured for me to sit case mentioned it's your
19:11birthday today he's the one who asked the kitchen to prepare all of this i looked up and met a
19:16pair
19:16of burning intent eyes heat rushed straight to my face case lit a plate of chestnut cake in front of
19:23me without changing his expression how did you know today was my birthday i'd completely forgotten it
19:30myself my birth mother died bringing me into the world no one had ever once marked the day for me
19:36case kept his eyes lowered and said evenly it's not difficult to know it something in my chest gave
19:42one quiet inexplicable pull leah this peach blossom wine is from my private reserve i'm opening it just
19:50for you but you two had better not drink too much she pushed back her chair said the summer evening
19:56breeze was too much for her old bones and left the garden went quiet to avoid the silence i put
20:02my head
20:03down and drank one cup then another then another the wine was sweet and dangerously potent before
20:10long the edges of everything had gone soft and blurry case watched me but said nothing by the third
20:17glass i'd stopped feeling the awkward silence by the fourth i'd stopped feeling much of anything
20:22i reached across the table toward the last piece of chestnut cake the dish was empty i looked up
20:29where's the last piece i ate it i have absolutely no idea where the boldness came from i leaned straight
20:36toward his face who told you to eat that spit it back out i pressed against his chest trying to
20:43peer
20:43into his mouth case looked down at me perfectly calm you won't find it that way i straightened up and
20:50stared at him then how am i supposed to find it a faint flush crept across his cheeks try using
20:57your
20:57mouse my gaze drifted to his slightly reddened lips i swallowed once and kissed him without hesitation
21:04case went rigid his breathing lurching unsteady then control shifted his hand cupped the back of my
21:10head and he pressed in deeper harder neither of us pulled away until footsteps sounded from behind the
21:16flower bed alpha the night air is cool lady martha asked me to bring you both a wrap
21:23i had no idea how much ivy had seen i shot to my feet and the next instant the world
21:29tilted everything
21:31went dark when i woke up with a splitting headache it was already morning i suddenly remembered
21:38i'd promised martha to visit case's father's grave it was late i started rushing around for my things
21:47leah don't worry the driver is still getting the car ready ivy was it you who brought me back last
21:54night
21:55no the alpha carried you back i spun around to check her face she nodded completely serious
22:04i didn't say anything stupid did i ivy bit back a smile the alpha set you down on the bed
22:11and you
22:12grabbed his sleeve and wouldn't let go you kept calling him my mate over and over until his whole
22:19face went red ivy don't you dare make things up she covered her mouth laughing and ran out
22:28i met martha at the front entrance case's father's grave was on a hillside just beyond the pack territory
22:35i sat in the back of the car completely distracted replaying the moment i'd kissed case last night
22:42martha must have misread my expression because she said leah is there someone you have feelings for
22:52i've noticed you've been avoiding case these past few days please don't be upset with me for
22:58pushing you two together at dinner last night i thought if the two of you couldn't be mates you could
23:03at least be friends but if you're uncomfortable or if you want to leave just say i'll have him sever
23:09the
23:09bond i won't let you be trapped here mom no it's not that i was thinking about something else what
23:16is
23:16it i was still figuring out how to answer when the car lurched the engine screamed the car swung hard
23:22tires off the road crashing through brush the whole frame shaking i grabbed martha and looked at the
23:27driver slumped over the wheel unconscious no one to hit the brakes a cliff straight ahead martha grabbed my
23:35arm leah what do we do we jump now we'll be hurt we'll die if we don't hold on to
23:42me i wrapped myself
23:43around her and we threw ourselves clear the instant the wheels left solid ground we hit the cliff edge
23:48and went over my hand shot out and caught a root jutting from the rock face my other hand locked
23:53around
23:53martha's wrist below her was a straight drop into nothing mom don't look down don't look down hold on
24:01to me ivy and the others are right behind us behind us in the second car they'll be here soon
24:08the root
24:09ground under our weight martha's voice broke leah let me go we're too heavy it's going to snap
24:22i'm old i've lived my life you have to keep living yours my chest tightened so hard i could
24:31barely breathe i couldn't let go she'd been a mother to me from the first day mom i would rather
24:40die
24:41with you than watch you fall hold on they're coming the truth was i had no idea my arms were
24:53going numb
24:54the pain had gone so deep it had stopped feeling like pain at all then i heard it a wolf's
25:02howl split
25:03the air deafening and close leah don't move i'm coming down case's voice he'd called me by my name
25:15the first time a strong arm came under me he'd climbed down the cliff face wolf claws dug into the
25:24rock he untied the rope from his own body and looped it around my waist then climbed down further and
25:31did
25:31the same for martha the people above pulled together we came up one at a time it wasn't a hallucination
25:40case had saved us he held me brow creased
25:46why is there so much blood martha clutched her face she shielded me when we jumped i didn't get a
25:55scratch
25:56it's all hers my eyelids felt like lead leah don't sleep i'm taking you to ella he lifted me into
26:07the
26:07car and i stayed curled against his chest his forehead was damp with sweat he kept one hand on the
26:14wheel
26:14and kept talking leah leah leah stay awake i'll get you chestnut cake i'll give you all the jewelry you
26:23want to sell you don't have to wait for me to die i'll write the bond release today you can
26:28leave
26:28whenever you want my chest kept clenching something wet hit my face i looked up at the sky through the
26:35windshield it wasn't raining then everything went black when i opened my eyes every part of my body felt
26:41like it had been taken apart and put back wrong my luna the pack healer said you can't move yet
26:47ivy
26:47pressed a bowl of medicine to my lips spooning it in slowly you're lucky nothing's broken her voice
26:53was steady but her eyes were red the scrapes were bad you need to stay flat or they'll scar
26:59your shoulder was dislocated she kept talking my eyes had already drifted to the door after i finished
27:04the medicine i asked where's case investigating someone poisoned the driver with wolf bite and cut
27:10the brake lines it was deliberate who would be bold enough to target the alpha's family directly
27:15i was flat on my back for a full month i didn't see case once martha kept her door shut
27:20too still
27:21recovering from the shock everyone in the estate moved with tight faces and clipped voices like
27:26something was being held just below the surface i asked ivy she said nothing was wrong today i was
27:32finally cleared to get out of bed i opened my door and walked straight into a familiar figure case dark
27:38tactical shirt sharper than i remembered he held out a small wooden box i took it and lifted the lid
27:44a land deed a property contract a severance letter my body went rigid something locked around my chest
27:51and wouldn't let go case are you throwing me out you've been waiting for this since the day you arrived
27:58you avoided me stayed out of my way you never wanted anything to do with me
28:02you were counting down the days until i died so you could walk out cleanly
28:06i'm just doing it early leah go after today we're finished something sharp flooded my chest
28:13my mouth opened and closed it took a long time to get anything out so that's what you think of
28:20me
28:23leave now i don't want to see you anymore case disappeared around the corner of the yard
28:28the state guards all but pushed me out the door ivy fell in to step beside me and the alpha
28:33said
28:33you're used to having me around he told me to go with you i couldn't speak
28:43we moved into a small house on the edge of the territory by morning the pack's official announcement
28:49had gone up the announcement said case had betrayed the pack the announcement said he
28:53had betrayed the pack that he had leaked the border patrol routes to a rogue faction
28:58by order of the lichen king royal enforcers had been dispatched to seize him pending investigation
29:05case was being held in the dungeons under royal guard the estate was locked down everyone inside was
29:12under scrutiny case would never betray his pack he would die before he did something like that
29:17he rushed to get me out that was why that was the only reason ivy was pacing circles around the
29:24living room she'd grown up inside the estate she couldn't stand still is there anything we can do
29:31i made myself sit down and think years ago elder reed's youngest child had gotten lost in the forest
29:37and been bitten by a snake i'd found him and used the right herbs to treat the wound
29:43elder reed had arrived while i was still crouched over the boy he'd seen my face i was sure he
29:48hadn't
29:48forgotten i tracked him down outside the council building and stepped into elder reed you remember
29:55me i need a favor he looked at me for a long moment then he nodded elder reed led me
30:01into the dungeon
30:0230 minutes no more the door unlocked case stood up his eyes flashed with surprise how did you get in
30:08my chest ached as i looked at him through the blur of tears that's why you kicked me out isn't
30:13it you
30:14were framed think carefully is there any evidence to prove your innocence i will find it i will
30:21investigate i swear i will rescue you case's gaze deepened then his arm shot out and pulled me into
30:27his chest leah my heart hammered but time was running out this wasn't the moment i pushed against him he
30:35didn't budge leah you don't need to do anything i can't say much i promise seven days later i will
30:43accompany you to watch the sunrise okay his eyes were steady certain like he was coaxing a frightened pup
30:52i walked out of the dungeon and straight into brad
30:58he stepped into my path slow smile spreading across it's not too late to reconsider
31:04being my mistress beats being alone and disgraced i swung my hand and slapped him across the face
31:10he lunged for me i stepped sideways and put distance between us try that again and every note you sent
31:15me ends up in front of chloe's father every single one you've been whispering in her ear for years
31:20haven't you trying to get me pushed out thinking i'd have nowhere to go and no choice but to run
31:24to
31:24you but you never counted on chloe handing me straight to case a man you can't touch his face
31:29changed i didn't wait for him to recover i walked away and didn't look back a wolf like that the
31:35further the better i didn't sleep well for the next five days case's voice kept coming back to me
31:40i promise seven days later i will accompany you to watch the sunrise okay on the afternoon of the
31:466th day the lichen king's official decree went up across the territory the leak hadn't come from case
31:52it had come from prince marcus and his allies the truth is finally revealed
31:59the lichen king had not yet named his heir both prince caden and prince marcus were in the running
32:03case was prince caden's most powerful ally the alpha who commanded the most powerful pack taking
32:08case down was the cleanest way to clear the path to the throne prince marcus had planted a spy inside
32:13the blackwood pack used him to steal the border patrol routes then framed case for it so the
32:17injury had been faked all of it a deliberate trap to draw out the spy but why fake being unable
32:23to
32:23mate i turned that over in my mind all night and couldn't land on an answer dawn was just breaking
32:28when someone knocked at the door i didn't think i just ran i threw the door open and walked straight
32:33into case's chest he went completely still then his arms came around me slow and deliberate and pulled
32:38me in hard i'd run out in nothing but a thin sleep shirt no warning through the thin fabric i
32:44could
32:44feel everything the hard muscle of his chest his arms locked tight around me i pressed my hands against
32:50his chest and tried to step back leah his voice dropped low i'm back our eyes locked the heat between
32:56us was thick enough to touch then he lifted me off the ground and carried me straight toward the bedroom
33:00i beat a fist against his chest weren't we supposed to watch the sunrise you first sunrise after
33:10we fell onto the bed together
33:14case pinned me beneath him one hand working the buttons of my sleep shirt open eyes never leaving
33:19mine i covered his eyes with both hands don't look it's embarrassing he took my hands down his breathing
33:26had gone ragged it's beautiful his eyes were bright and fixed my skin went hot everywhere he touched i
33:34pressed my palm flat against his chest hard muscle warm skin healer said you couldn't get hard how is
33:40any of this possible lips dragging slowly along my jaw to my ear you want to know if i can
33:44there's one
33:46way to find out he kissed me one hand cupping my face tilting it up toward him i kissed him
33:51back hard
33:52my hands slid up his chest over his shoulders gripping his arms he pressed me further into the
33:58mattress his weight settling over me the heat built fast and took over completely my hands went slack
34:05he caught them laced his fingers through mine and pinned them above my head he loves me very much and
34:12completely occupies me my face gradually became rosy and we could only hear each other's heartbeats and
34:18breathing his lips dragged from my mouth to my jaw down the side of my neck slow and unhurried
34:25then he stopped his canines pierced my mating gland a second of sharp white hot pain and then it was
34:32done i lay there chest heaving fingers still tangled in his on my neck his mark ached finally we weren't
34:40just mates on paper anymore after the estate lockdown was lifted case took me to meet prince kaden a slow
34:47smile spreading across his face so you're the woman who brought case to his knees i've been wanting
34:52to meet you you flatter me your highness case helped the kingdom take down a real threat you stood by
34:58him
34:58through all of it i'll host an official luna ceremony for you and when that day comes i'll have a
35:03gift
35:03ready thank you your highness don't blame case leah faking the injury was always part of the plan
35:13too many enemies wanted him dead the only way to keep him safe was to make them think he was
35:17already
35:18finished part about not being able to get hard that was my idea i gave the pack doctor that order
35:24myself
35:26we grew up together i know exactly how he is never any interest in women never any weakness i figured
35:33it
35:33was time someone did something about that suddenly i understood just two old friends and one very
35:39elaborate prank the car accident that was prince marcus as well they intended it to look like an
35:45accident they didn't expect to hurt you in the process luna leah it's been dealt with you and case
35:51are safe now i took a slow breath knowing it was over didn't make the memory of dangling off that
36:00cliff
36:00any less vivid we got back to the estate to find chloe already inside crying she walked an hour ago
36:06and
36:06hasn't stopped martha is getting a headache from it i told case to go to his study i'd handle it
36:13i sat down next to chloe face red eyes swollen word had already spread brad had been identified as
36:19one of prince marcus's informants chloe's father had been cleared but chloe and brad were finished
36:25still crying i'll have someone throw you out she stopped immediately still shaking but quiet i misjudged him
36:33i thought picking someone from a lower ranked family meant he'd be easy to manage i didn't think
36:39he'd be like this i told you he wasn't a good person you didn't say it clearly enough i rolled
36:45my eyes
36:46i wasn't a powerless omega anymore i didn't have to hold back
36:54were you ever angry at me for how i treated you back then no i cursed you in my head
37:01but i don't
37:02hold grudges you cursed me do you want to punish me for it chloe laughed despite herself then caught
37:08herself and pressed her lips together i'm sorry for the slap did it hurt i already forgot about it then
37:13let me slap you back we'll be even she closed her eyes and braced herself i raised my hand and
37:19let it
37:19land soft against her cheek she opened her eyes i already gave that slap to brad chloe stared at me
37:28for a second then she laughed really laughed for the first time since she'd walked in don't call me
37:33chloe anymore can we be friends no i don't like friends who cry too much the light was still on
37:42when i
37:42passed case a study i pushed the door open before i could say a word an arm shot out from
37:47behind and
37:47wrapped around my waist bold intruder his voice dropped low against my ear you think you can just
37:52walk into the alpha's office the alpha's mate is right here and you still dare make a move case played
37:58it straight his lips found my neck here really right here i kept saying no my hand said something else
38:07entirely finding their way to his back he murmured against my ear you have no idea how many times i
38:14thought about this in this room i wanted to say something back but his hand was already moving
38:19and i couldn't get a single word out he carried me to the table and took off my clothes then
38:24we had a
38:25good time when i woke up it was almost dawn case was already awake sitting up against the headboard
38:36watching me his eyes were soft in a way that made it hard to look back morning i sat up
38:42and rubbed my
38:43eyes then i remembered the sunrise he'd promised the sunrise
38:51we still have time he was already up he picked up my clothes from beside the bed handing them to
38:57me he dressed me slowly straightening each layer with both hands like he'd done it a thousand times
39:02before we walked out into the yard cool air the smell of pine to the east the sky had just
39:08started
39:08to lighten at the edges case stood behind me and wrapped both arms around me we watched the horizon
39:13together the sun came up slowly the gold light broke across the trees spread across the yard and
39:19landed on us the clouds caught the color and held it beautiful close to my ear beautiful he pulled me
39:28in tighter and said nothing else he didn't need to i'll watch every sunrise and sunset with his voice
39:34was quiet against my hair everyone for as long as we have i turned around and kissed him once quick
39:41and
39:41light deal the sun came up fully in the yard filled with light our shadows stretched long across the
39:48ground behind us over the next few days the estate came back to life servants moved through the halls
39:53with easy steps again martha's health improved she called me in to talk every morning always smiling
39:59when i walked through the door one afternoon i was trimming the plants in the yard when sunny came
40:03running over leah chloe is here again she brought a lot of stuff with her i set down my shears
40:09since the
40:10day she'd come in crying chloe had been showing up regularly she said she was making up for lost
40:14time really she just had nothing to do and nowhere to be let her in i wiped my hands and
40:21went to meet her
40:24chloe walked in with two attendants behind her carrying food boxes she changed a lot less
40:29restless she dressed simpler now and moved quieter
40:40i made your favorite chestnut cake i asked the royal kitchen for the recipe this time better than
40:47anything the blackwood kitchen has ever made i took a piece and bit into it sweet soft better than i
40:53expected
40:56good thank you so where's case not home he went to the pack training ground something came up
41:03chloe nodded and reached for a piece herself for a while neither of us said anything just the wind
41:09moving through the yard my father wants me to find a new mate i looked up don't rush for it
41:14i know
41:18after brad i don't know how to trust anyone she looked at me something flickering in her eyes you
41:24have a good mate case fights for you protects you and he's the strongest alpha in the kingdom
41:30we just got lucky you can't force these things chloe nodded and didn't say anything else
41:35just ate her chestnut cake the yard went quiet just wind moving through the leaves then she said
41:43that slap do you really not hold it against me really it's in the past no point bringing it up
41:51the truth was i'd already let it go a long time ago she wasn't a bad person just spoiled used
41:57to
41:57getting her way chloe's eyes went red at the edges thank you when i arranged the mating part of it
42:04was
42:04because i was scared you and brad would find your way back to each other but part of it was
42:09genuine
42:09i really did think case was a good man that he wouldn't treat you badly we looked at each other
42:14and smiled all the conflicts were solved i just didn't expect him to be faking the whole time chloe
42:22laughed a little embarrassed it's in the past isn't this better
42:32it is she nodded can we be friends for real i won't be like i was before
42:40sure i nodded something warm moved through my chest
42:44letting go of old grudges and coming out the other side with a friend that wasn't a bad ending
42:48we sat in the yard for the rest of the afternoon eating and talking pack gossip small things nothing
42:55important the sun came through the leaves and the air was warm and easy when case came back from the
43:00training grounds that evening and saw the two of us surprise crossed his face what are you two happy
43:05about talking about you chloe grinned about what a liar you are faking the whole thing and fooling
43:12everyone case walked over and sat down beside me he reached over and took my hand eyes warm
43:20tricking you into becoming my luna that's the luckiest thing i've ever done my face went red
43:25i gave him a look chloe burst out laughing all right i'm leaving you two alone leah i'll come
43:30by tomorrow sure take care i watched her go case turned to me are you good friend now yes the
43:39past is

43:46knew how much
43:46i'd been through watching me let it go and just be happy i could tell it meant something to him
43:52we sat side by side at the stone table and looked out at the sky neither of us said much
43:57we didn't
43:58need to days like this quiet and unhurried became the rhythm of our life case stayed busy with the pack
44:05and with royal matters but he always made time sunrises sunsets he spoiled me until i didn't know what to
44:12do
44:13with it martha was healthy and smiling every day the estate was calm and easy again the way it used
44:19to
44:20be true to his word prince caden petitioned the lichen king on my behalf at my official luna ceremony
44:27the lichen king's decree was read aloud a formal commendation in front of the entire pack the estate
44:33was lit up and full of noise that day case lifted the veil and placed it over my head himself
44:38his eyes
44:39proud and soft the most beautiful luna then he shifted right there in front of everyone his wolf
44:46was massive dark broad-shouldered still he lowered himself to the ground and waited i climbed onto his
44:54back he rose slowly carrying me steady and lifted his head toward the moon the howl that came out of
45:01him was long and deep and carried across the entire territory one by one the pack answered howl after
45:08howl rising into the night sky i thought about everything it had taken to get here a bastard
45:14omega with no wolf no one to speak for her only i knew how hard the road had been and
45:20all of it
45:20every bit of the happiness on the other side of it came from the man standing behind me after the
45:25ceremony case took me south open land warm air water catching the afternoon light far from everything
45:32that had tried to take us down the rest of our lives stretched out ahead of us every year every
45:38season
45:39together after the ceremony life settled into a new rhythm i stood beside case at every pack meeting
45:46every decision every matter that came through the estate gates his pack was my pack his people were my
45:53people but he always made time a weekend drive with no destination a trail through the forest at dawn
46:01wherever he thought i'd want to see he took me there without being asked
46:04the rest of our lives stretched out ahead of us every year every season together
