Short filmTranscript
00:00She stole my body, my rank, my life.
00:03I died in filth while she wore my face to bed with the alpha the husband that should be mine.
00:08That was what my husband, the alpha,
00:11Lock her in the back cell. She's tracking the plague across our floors.
00:14I was rotting alive, and the helpless war orphan he brought home stood next to him,
00:18holding her nose and wearing my necklace.
00:20She wasn't an orphan.
00:22She was a diseased whore who used a cursed pendant to steal my healthy body.
00:26I died in that stinking cell.
00:28Then I opened my eyes again.
00:30I was back.
00:31The exact moment Vivian held that pendant out to me.
00:34A toast to the alpha!
00:37After this war, the council is sure to grant him more territory.
00:42He actually survived the bloodbath and made it back?
00:45We should be thanking the moon goddess purely for that.
00:48Damien looked like the war had been built around him.
00:51His shirt strained across his chest and shoulders.
00:53His jaw looked carved from stone.
00:55And his scent.
00:56Dark cedar, iron.
00:58And rank male dominance.
01:00Heavy.
01:00Commanding.
01:01Impossible to ignore.
01:07Alpha's the lucky one, huh?
01:09Three months out, killing on the front lines.
01:11And he comes home to not one, but two beautiful women waiting on him.
01:15I'd be jealous too.
01:19I know you prayed for Damien every single day, my Luna.
01:21So I went to the altar for you.
01:23I asked the moon goddess myself.
01:24May the moon goddess return him to you alive.
01:26Every time.
01:27In my last life, I had been so happy Damien won the war.
01:30So stupidly moved by her little act of devotion.
01:33I let her fasten the chain around my neck that very night.
01:36I had no idea it was cursed.
01:38The second I wore it, the pendant began to work.
01:40Her rot.
01:42My body.
01:43Exchange.
01:44At first, I was only tired.
01:46Then the pain started low in my body.
01:48Sharp.
01:49Deep.
01:50Wrong.
01:50One healer after another came through Thornwood.
01:53None of them knew what was happening to me.
01:55While Vivian?
01:56Vivian got prettier by the day.
01:58Her skin glowed.
01:59Her body filled out.
02:00And every night, she took out to Damien to bed.
02:02When I woke from the fever, it was already too late.
02:05She must have spread her legs for other men.
02:06That's where filled like this comes from.
02:09Damien's face went black with disgust.
02:12Lock her in the back cell.
02:14Anyone caught sneaking her food gets whipped to the bone.
02:17I tried to speak.
02:18Tried to explain.
02:19Nothing came out.
02:21I could only lie there and watch him straight out the door.
02:24Even as I died in that holding cell, I still couldn't understand it.
02:28The man who marked me under the full moon.
02:30The man who swore to love me for life.
02:33How had he become that cold?
02:35Only after death did I learn who Vivian really was.
02:38Not an orphan.
02:39Not some helpless girl dragged home from war.
02:42A whore.
02:43An enemy pack whore who slipped into our lands after their defeat.
02:46She was already dying.
02:48Already rotting from the inside.
02:50Pure hatred clawed at my throat.
02:52But what good was anger when my body was already rotting in the mud?
02:56I couldn't rip her apart with my own hands.
02:58The sharp ring of crystal snapped me back to the banquet.
03:02Luna.
03:03Let me put it on you.
03:08This time, I took one step back.
03:10The whole table went silent.
03:12Vivian's hand hung in midair.
03:14Lila.
03:16Is my gift not good enough?
03:19I scrubbed my knees bloody praying for this.
03:22A few of the high betas maids immediately frowned at me.
03:26Lila.
03:26Don't make a scene.
03:28The poor girl meant well.
03:29The alpha dragged her back from the front lines himself.
03:32Of course they're letting her do as she pleases.
03:35I said nothing.
03:37Because I smelled it.
03:38That faint sweetness under her perfume.
03:41That rotten, sugary note buried deep in the flesh.
03:44I knew that scent.
03:45I had breathed it for three months in my last life.
03:48I had died in it.
03:49I looked at the foolish women around the table.
03:52Then I forced my lips into a tight smile.
03:54I appreciate the thought, I said evenly.
03:57And I'll keep the gift.
03:58But this dress doesn't suit a rough bone wood pendant.
04:01Then she looked at me with that wounded, trembling expression she wore so well.
04:05I know it isn't expensive, not compared to the diamonds on your throat.
04:08But I begged for it on bleeding knees.
04:11That's what made it precious.
04:12She took another step toward me.
04:15I just want you to try it on.
04:18It would look beautiful on you.
04:21No, she didn't want me to try it on.
04:23She needed that cursed thing around my neck tonight.
04:26Right then, the bank of doors swung open.
04:32A thin omega boy walked in with his head lowered.
04:34He stopped before Damien's seat and stood at attention.
04:38Alpha, High Luma sent me.
04:40She requests Lyra's presence in the capital for the full moon gathering.
04:44My heart clenched so hard it hurt.
04:46Wren, the same omega who dug my body out of the corpse heap in the rain.
04:49The same omega who gave me a grave when no one else would.
04:52I was about to use the summons as my way out.
04:55Vivian moved first.
04:57Like a serpent.
04:58Luna, let me put the pendant on before you go.
05:01You can't appear before High Luna wearing something as flashy as that diamond.
05:11This lady looks familiar.
05:13I saw a transport of unregulared omgas at the Northern Black Market last year.
05:18Wasn't she one of them?
05:19You've mistaken me for someone else.
05:21Alpha rescued me from war.
05:23I've never been near a black market.
05:25Wren closed his mouth.
05:27He didn't push.
05:28And I took the opening.
05:30High Luna is waiting.
05:31I should go.
05:33As for the pendant, we'll discuss it when I return.
05:38Luna, are you avoiding me?
05:41It takes seconds to put on a pendant.
05:43What exactly is the problem?
05:45Then she moved.
05:46She threw herself sideways.
05:48You!
05:49You filthy omega!
05:51You touched me!
05:52Clutching the rip toward the dress.
05:54Tears poured down her face on cue.
05:57Every expression around that table changed.
05:59That sick little omega's lost his mind.
06:02He touched Alpha's woman?
06:04Rip his throat out.
06:05Break him apart.
06:07And throw him to the dogs.
06:09Vivian trembled like a shattered doll.
06:11Mascara streaked down her face.
06:13Get your filthy paws off me!
06:15I'd rather die than be touched by a lowborn born omega!
06:21Fun suddenly toured one of the stone pillars.
06:25Vivian!
06:31He caught her by the waist and hauled her against his chest.
06:35Alpha pressure exploded through the room.
06:38The air turned heavy.
06:39Every wolf in that hall felt it.
06:41Ren went white.
06:42His legs gave out under the force of it.
06:45He slammed onto the stone floor so hard I heard the impact in his knees.
06:49I didn't do it.
06:50I swear to the moon goddess, I didn't.
06:53I only put my hands out on instinct.
06:56I didn't even touch the edge of her dress.
06:58I swear it!
06:59I never dishonored her!
07:01Vivian buried her face in Damien's neck.
07:04Crying.
07:05Shivering.
07:06Pressing herself against him on purpose.
07:08Her breasts crushed into his chest.
07:10While she clung to him like prey begging protection,
07:13Damien's eyes turned monstrous.
07:15His jaw locked.
07:16Drag that bastard out!
07:22Break his arms.
07:24Break his legs.
07:25Dump him at the border and let the rogues finish what he started.
07:29For a second, I thought I had misheard him.
07:33Damien, use your damn head.
07:34He's High Luna's messenger.
07:36If you lay one finger on him inside your territory,
07:39you'll answer to the council by sunrise.
07:41Do you want a political war over a liar's tears?
07:44Vivian lifted her head from Damien's chest.
07:47Why are you so upset, Luna?
07:50You're awfully quick to defend a filthy Mega.
07:52Does he normally kneel that close to you?
07:54Or have you grown a little too comfortable with a lowborn's hands straying on your body?
07:59She wasn't just accusing Ren.
08:01She was smearing me, publicly, painting me as a Luna who let some Omega into her bed.
08:07Damien's head snapped toward me.
08:09His pupils tightened.
08:10That warped alpha possessiveness ignited behind his eyes all at once.
08:14The look he gave me made my skin crawl.
08:16Like I had just crawled out of another man's sheets.
08:19Say that again.
08:24I almost laughed from the sheer filth of it.
08:26I was ready to throw every ounce of that poison back in their faces.
08:29But Ren moved first.
08:31I'll take my punishment, alpha!
08:33His thin body shook like a leaf in a storm.
08:35But his voice came out shockingly clear.
08:38I swear it was an accident.
08:39I'd never disrespect the alpha's guest.
08:41I'll accept whatever punishment you give me.
08:43I only ask one thing.
08:44For High Luna's sake, just leave me half alive so I can deliver my message back.
08:48My heart seized.
08:49Moon goddess.
08:50What was he doing?
08:51He was throwing himself into the fire.
08:54If I defended him now, Damien would hear guilt in my voice.
08:57If I stayed silent, Ren would bleed for me.
08:59Ren was sacrificing himself to protect my name.
09:02Rage tore through me so violently my hands started shaking.
09:05My nails dug into my palms.
09:07Hard enough to break skin.
09:08I barely felt it.
09:10My eyes locked on the bonewood wolf head clenched in Vivian's hand.
09:13And then it came to me.
09:14A brutal, beautiful thought.
09:15This diseased whore wanted my body.
09:17My health.
09:18My rank.
09:19My life.
09:20Fine.
09:21If she loved trading fate so much, I'd play the game with her.
09:24I'd hand her a gift.
09:25A body so unbearable she'd pray for death and never get it.
09:28I lowered my eyes to Ren.
09:30He was still on the floor.
09:31Still trembling.
09:33Still trying to save me with his own blood.
09:35I didn't know yet how I'd do it.
09:37But I knew exactly where I'd begin.
09:39This time, I would ruin her first.
09:40The dungeon sounds carried through the corridor.
09:43A dull crack.
09:43Then another.
09:45Whips tearing through flesh.
09:47In my last life, Ren dug me out of the corpse pit.
09:50Ren buried me when no one else would.
09:52And in this life, Ren was being skinned alive to protect my name.
09:56I needed to move.
09:57Fast.
10:00A maid came running down the hall.
10:03Luna!
10:03The Omega passed out.
10:05The guards want to know if they should keep going.
10:07What did Alpha say?
10:08Alpha is with Miss Viviana.
10:11In his room.
10:12There.
10:13In bed.
10:14He gave no order to stop.
10:16Of course he didn't.
10:17Damien was going to let them beat Ren to death.
10:19And Vivian?
10:20That rotten bitch wanted Ren buried for good.
10:22Anyone who knew what she really was had to disappear.
10:25I turned on my heel and started toward the dungeon.
10:28Laia.
10:29Where exactly are you going?
10:31Vivian stood there.
10:32Her hair was must.
10:33Fresh bite marks bloomed across her neck.
10:35Her whole body reeked of sex.
10:37Of sweat.
10:38Of Damien.
10:39Two warriors stood behind her like guard dogs.
10:42If you go to the dungeon now, those ugly little rumors from dinner stop being rumors.
10:46Everyone will know.
10:48You were sneaking around with a filthy Omega behind Alpha's back.
10:51I stopped.
10:53Looked at her.
10:53Then I laughed.
10:54Not soft.
10:55Not graceful.
10:57A sharp, ugly laugh that made her blink.
11:01You're absolutely right, Vivian.
11:04If they hacked him to pieces, he still wouldn't be worth dirtying my shoe.
11:08My gaze dropped to her hand.
11:10To the one clenched tight around that pendant.
11:12That little piece of trash.
11:14Didn't you want me to wear it?
11:17Greed flashed through them so fast she forgot to hide it.
11:20She opened her palm.
11:21There it was.
11:22The bonewood wolf head.
11:24You're finally going to wear it?
11:25I reached out and snatched it from her hand.
11:27Then I let out one slow breath.
11:29Like I was finally giving in.
11:31Tomorrow is the anniversary of my mother's passing.
11:33I have to pray at the moon temple.
11:35I looked straight into her eyes.
11:37If you're truly sincere, you can come with me.
11:40And under the moon goddess's gaze, you can place it around my neck yourself.
11:46Suspicion flickered across her face.
11:48Then it drowned under naked delight.
11:49She thought she'd cornered me.
11:51Thought I'd folded.
11:52Of course.
11:53Smiling wide.
11:54I'll go with you.
11:55That smile.
11:56It was the exact same smile she wore in my last life after she ruined me.
11:59I gave one cold nod and turned away.
12:03Not going to see your little lover in the dungeon?
12:05To hell with the dungeon.
12:07I shot back without turning.
12:08Because by then, Ren was already unconscious.
12:11And if I ran there now, I still couldn't save Ren.
12:13Worse.
12:14If I begged, Damien would hear guilt in it.
12:17That was exactly the trap she wanted.
12:19But I had a better move.
12:20I went straight back to my room.
12:23Wrote a letter.
12:24Fast.
12:25Then I summoned the one warrior I trusted most.
12:27And sent him writing for the central territory in secret.
12:31High Luna might not care whether some lowborn Omega lived or died.
12:34But her pride?
12:35That old woman worshipped her own authority.
12:37A messenger she had sent being whipped half to death on her land?
12:39That insult would reach her before dawn.
12:42And she would not let it slide.
12:45The next morning, we arrived at the Moon Temple.
12:48I stood before the altar and made my offering.
12:52Vivian clung to my shadow the whole way.
12:54Twice she leaned in to mention the pendant.
12:56What are you so jumpy for?
12:59She clenched her jaw.
13:01Swallowed her temper.
13:02Followed me into the trees.
13:05We hardly ever come here.
13:06Walk with me through the pine grove.
13:09Laya, what is there to even look at in this miserable forest?
13:14Stop wasting time.
13:15I'll put the pendant on you right now.
13:20I stared at her.
13:22At that hungry, desperate face.
13:24I almost smiled.
13:31What are you in such a rush for?
13:33In a rush to dig your own grave?
13:35Before she could answer, a young priest came hurrying toward us.
13:40Luna!
13:43The Elder is waiting in the inner chamber.
13:49You stay here.
13:50I'll be back.
13:51Her hand shot out and grabbed my skirt so hard her nails dug into the fabric.
13:55Lyra.
13:56I'm coming with you.
13:58I slapped her hand away.
14:00The Elder invited me.
14:01Not you.
14:03So know your place.
14:04And settle down.
14:08When I come back out, I'll let you put the pendant on me myself.
14:12Vivian bit down on her lower lip.
14:14Hard.
14:15But she let go.
14:16I walked straight into the temple.
14:19Ren was already there.
14:20His body was covered in lash marks.
14:22Blood had dried stiff across his clothes.
14:25But he was alive.
14:32Thank you for saving me, Luna.
14:34Ren said hoarsely, trying to kneel.
14:36I sat across from him.
14:38If you hadn't sent word to hi Luna last night, they'd have beaten me into a pump.
14:44When?
14:45Listen carefully.
14:49Do you want to leave this back?
14:53Do you want to leave that body behind for good?
14:55He stared at me.
14:57I reached into my pocket and placed a pendant on the table between us.
15:00A bone wood wolf head.
15:02At a glance, it was identical to Vivian's pendant.
15:08In my last life, right before I died in that cell, Ren held my ruined body and cried.
15:14He told me what he wanted more than anything.
15:16He hated what the pack saw when they looked at him.
15:18Hated the cursed body he had been trapped in.
15:21He wanted to be a woman.
15:22A whole one.
15:23He wanted to leave this violent place and live somewhere wide, somewhere free.
15:27This is a replica.
15:28The real pendant casts the curse.
15:31But this one?
15:32This one intercepts it.
15:33It redirects the rot.
15:35That is how Vivian takes your cursed body.
15:37And leaves you hers.
15:39I had it carved overnight.
15:41Ren's breathing cot.
15:42If you wear this, you'll trade bodies with Vivian.
15:46I held his gaze.
15:48You'll take her fate.
15:49And she'll be trapped in yours.
15:51Ren inhaled sharply.
15:53His eyes flooded red.
15:55Thank you, Luna.
15:56Tears spilled before he could stop them.
15:59You're the first person in this world who didn't laugh at what I wanted.
16:04I looked into his eyes.
16:06And I knew.
16:07That same fierce grief.
16:09That same terrible clarity.
16:11Ren remembered.
16:12He had come back too.
16:22Swallow this.
16:26It'll shield you.
16:27When the switch happens, Viviana's rot won't cross into you.
16:31I wiped the mud and tears from his cheek.
16:35From tomorrow on, you won't be trapped anymore.
16:38You'll have a woman's body.
16:40And a new life.
16:41Ren closed his fingers tight around the pill.
16:43I pushed open the chamber door and walked back outside.
16:46Vivian was pacing the pine grove like a rat cornered on a hot roof.
16:49The second she saw me, she rushed over.
16:52What took so long?
16:54What were you doing in there?
16:55I curled my mouth into a perfect smile.
16:58Then I reached into my pocket and pulled out the real pendant.
17:02The cursed one.
17:03The wicked one.
17:10Sorry to keep you waiting, Vivian.
17:12I held it out to her.
17:13Watched greed flood her eyes.
17:20The rough edge of the bonewood pendant brushed my throat.
17:23A sharp sting kissed my skin.
17:25Vivian stood on tiptoe in front of me.
17:27The triumph in her eyes was impossible to hide.
17:30I touched the little wolf head resting against my collarbone.
17:35How thoughtful of you, Vivian.
17:39It looks beautiful on you, Luna.
17:41I'm sure it will keep you and Alpha strong.
17:44Forever.
17:45The second the word left her mouth, her face changed.
17:49Why does it hurt all of a sudden?
17:52Of course it hurt.
17:53That was exactly how it had begun for me in my last life.
17:56First, the strength bled out of my limbs.
17:58Then came the deep, twisting pain low in my stomach.
18:02And after that, the rot.
18:04The disease that had once nested in her original body.
18:07Had already started crawling in the opposite direction.
18:10Only this time, I had done more than turn the curse back on her.
18:13I had sharpened it.
18:15I had forced it to bloom faster.
18:17Vivian's face turned whiter and whiter.
18:20Cold sweat plurled across her forehead.
18:22I don't feel right.
18:23Let's go back to the estate first.
18:24I put on a look of concern and quickly reached out to study her.
18:27Don't panic.
18:28Maybe you're just overtired from the walk.
18:30Sit down a moment.
18:31No!
18:32No!
18:35I need to go back!
18:37I need Damien!
18:37The next second, Vivian let out a thin, tearing scream and collapsed heavily to the ground like a dead weight.
18:44I didn't move to catch her.
18:46Ren stepped out from the hidden chamber, wearing Vivian's face.
18:50Her skin was pale.
18:52How do you feel?
18:54I think I'm taller.
18:56A laugh slipped out of me.
18:58Poor thing.
18:59She had gone from a frail, undersized Omega at the bottom of the pack to Vivian's tall, lush frame.
19:05Of course the ground felt different under her feet.
19:08Ren looked down at her hands.
19:09Then touched her own face.
19:11And went still.
19:12She looked at me, her eyes reddened by degrees.
19:15Anything else?
19:16Luna, I...
19:20In my last life, her only wish had been to escape that cursed Omega body.
19:24That body the pack mocked, used, and spat on.
19:27And become a woman the world wouldn't punish for existing.
19:30Now, she had it.
19:33Ren lowered her eyes to Vivian's unconscious body on the ground.
19:37For now, it still wore Vivian's face.
19:39But not for long.
19:40Soon that skin would split with sores.
19:42Yellow pus would seep through it.
19:44And the body would begin to stink with that same sweet,
19:48rotten foulness that had once soaked my sheets in my blood.
19:51Footsteps sounded through the pine grove outside the temple.
19:54Miss Vivian?
19:55Where are you?
19:57Vivian's two beta escorts were looking for her.
20:00I helped Ren to her feet and sent her out through the back passage first.
20:10I brushed the hair away from her face.
20:13My touch was gentle.
20:14Careful.
20:15Almost sisterly.
20:17Softly.
20:20Wake up.
20:21We need to go back.
20:22She opened her eyes slowly.
20:24The moment she saw me, confusion crossed her face.
20:27Then came terror.
20:29Raw.
20:30Immediate.
20:31You.
20:32What did you do to me?
20:33I helped her sit up.
20:35What?
20:36What are you talking about?
20:37You fainted all of a sudden.
20:39You scared me half to death.
20:42Come on.
20:43Let's get you back to Thornwood.
20:44I'll have the pack healers look at you properly.
20:45Vivian tried to wrench herself free.
20:47Only to realize her arms and legs had gone weak as water.
20:50The nails were yellowing.
20:51The skin was stretching.
20:52Pulling tight over bones that no longer felt like her own.
20:55She didn't know it yet.
20:56But her nightmare had just started.
20:57I supported her as we walked out.
20:59Behind us.
21:00Birds called through the pine grove.
21:02I glanced back once at the hidden chamber.
21:05For a second.
21:06I thought I saw a shadow flicker behind the temple glass.
21:09Ren was finally free.
21:11And Vivian?
21:12She had just stepped into her own grave.
21:18Back at Thornwood, I started to play sick.
21:21First came exhaustion.
21:22Bone deep.
21:23I stayed in bed all day and let my body go slack beneath the sheets.
21:27Then came the pain.
21:28I started clutching low at my belly.
21:30Crying out at the right moments.
21:32Breathing like every inch of me was failing.
21:34It was almost identical to my last life.
21:37I sent a maid for the pack healer.
21:39He examined me for a long time.
21:41Checked my eyes.
21:43Felt my pulse.
21:44Asked question after question.
21:46In the end, he gave me nothing.
21:49Stress.
21:50She needs rest.
21:51There was no curse in me now.
21:52No rot.
21:53Just the act.
21:55Vivian came to my room again and again.
21:57Every visit followed the same script.
21:59Her tone said concern.
22:01Her face said victory.
22:02She said, towering over me.
22:04Oh Lyra.
22:05You were perfectly fine when we came back from the moon temple.
22:08What happened?
22:09I gave her a weak little smile.
22:11Maybe I overdid it.
22:13I don't have any strength left.
22:15She let out a fake, tender sigh.
22:17Then rest.
22:18I'll watch over pack matters.
22:20You don't need to worry about a thing.
22:21I'll carry it all for you.
22:23I nodded.
22:24Closed my eyes.
22:25And listened to her heels click away across my floor.
22:28I stared up at the canopy and let out a cold little laugh.
22:33She really thought she had one.
22:35She thought a few more days would finish it.
22:37That my lower body would rot like it had last time.
22:40That the smell would come.
22:41That Damien would throw me into the back cell.
22:44That I'd die alone.
22:45And she thought she'd keep the healthy body.
22:47Thought she would spend every night spread beneath Damien.
22:50Take his hands.
22:51His teeth.
22:52His weight.
22:53Wear my rank while I rotted in the dark.
22:55She still thought she had one.
22:57I wasn't the one who had traded bodies with her.
23:00The days passed.
23:01I kept getting weaker.
23:03Sleepier.
23:04More fragile.
23:05Damien never came.
23:07Not once.
23:08He did not cross my threshold.
23:10Did not ask after me.
23:12Did not even pretend.
23:15Vivian, on the other hand, came more and more often.
23:18And each time, she got bolder.
23:21She tugged down her neckline without shame.
23:23Showed me the bruises at her throat.
23:25The bite marks along her collarbone.
23:28Damien was brutal last night.
23:30He pinned me to the wall.
23:32Took me from behind so hard I couldn't breathe.
23:35She fed me every filthy detail on purpose.
23:38She thought it would break me.
23:39Thought I'd cry.
23:40Or rage.
23:41She was wrong.
23:42So wrong it almost made me pity her.
23:45After betrayal.
23:46After death.
23:47After waking up a second time.
23:49I felt nothing for Damien.
23:50My heart had died in that stinking cell.
23:53It died while rats chewed my fingers and I begged for water no one brought.
23:56Whatever love I once had for him, I had torn it out myself.
23:59Stamped it flat.
24:01Left it there to rot.
24:02His muscles.
24:04His strength.
24:05That alpha pressure everyone else worshipped.
24:07Now.
24:08It turned my stomach.
24:12One afternoon, Vivian went even further.
24:14She drifted to my vanity as if she owned the room.
24:17Then lifted the sapphire necklace from its velvet stand and held it to her throat.
24:21My necklace.
24:22The previous Luna's necklace.
24:24A symbol of rank.
24:25Of inheritance.
24:26Of authority.
24:27Lila.
24:28This is gorgeous.
24:30Why don't you lend it to me for a few days?
24:33You're stuck in bed anyway.
24:35You can't wear it.
24:36I looked at her face.
24:38That smug mouth.
24:39That glittering greed.
24:40Then I put on the expression she wanted to see.
24:43Humiliation.
24:44Resignation.
24:45If you like it, keep it.
24:47She actually paused.
24:49She turned left.
24:50Then right.
24:51Admiring the way the sapphire burned against her skin.
24:54Satisfied beyond words.
24:56I didn't bother looking at her again.
24:58By the seventh day, I made sure I could no longer stand from bed.
25:03Anna was frantic.
25:05Brought in one doctor after another.
25:07Three pack healers.
25:09None of them could say what was wrong with me.
25:11I only told Anna to brew calming herbs.
25:14After I drank them, I let myself sink into a heavy, false sleep.
25:18And inside that sleep.
25:19Blood.
25:20The cell.
25:21The smell.
25:22My ruined body from my last life.
25:24That afternoon.
25:25I lay there with my eyes closed when the heavy bedroom door swung open.
25:29Vivian entered first.
25:30My sapphire necklace blazed against her throat.
25:33Her face was caked in powder.
25:35But even through all that makeup.
25:37I could still see the dark half moons under her eyes.
25:40Damien walked in behind her.
25:42His broad frame blocked the light from the doorway.
25:45He scanned the room once.
25:46Then his eyes landed on me.
25:48And stopped.
25:49The disgust on his face wasn't even hidden.
