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