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