Short filmTranscript
00:02The full moon hung over the alpha prince's fortress cold, silent, merciless.
00:08Its silver glow draped the stone spires casting long haunting shadows that matched the emptiness
00:13in my chest.
00:15That night, I lost my fifth pup again.
00:19The pack healers all said the same thing.
00:21My body was too weak to carry an alpha's blood, too fragile to withstand the primal
00:27ferocity of an alpha's cub, so I believed them.
00:30For three years.
00:31Five pregnancies.
00:33Five deaths.
00:35The Volf matriarch stood outside my chamber, her silhouette sharp against the moonlight,
00:41her presence as unyielding as the pack's laws.
00:43Elena, you are his mate.
00:45You cannot let the alpha's bloodline end.
00:48Aldric is the alpha king's kin, bearer of primordial wolf blood.
00:52His lineage must go on.
00:54So I suggested something no mate ever should, something that felt like tearing my own heart out.
00:59Let him take a consort.
01:01A strong she-Volf who can give him the air you need.
01:04Aldric froze.
01:05His hand, which had been resting on the hilt of his silver rune longsword, went rigid.
01:10The air in the chamber thickened, his alpha aura swirling with barely contained rage, then exploded.
01:17His golden eyes turned feral bright, unhinged, the Volf within him roaring to break free.
01:22The wooden table splintered, the window shattered, and the walls shook under his wrath.
01:27But in the end, he still agreed.
01:29The Volf matriarch's demand.
01:31The weight of his alpha duty won out.
01:34His voice hoarse, as if every word pained him.
01:37If she bears an air, mother,
01:39Never speak of this again for the rest of your days.
01:42If she bears an air, mother,
01:44Never speak of this again for the rest of your days.
01:47And I thought, I was the problem.
01:49My weak body,
01:50My inability to carry his pup,
01:53Was the reason our clan's lineage was at risk.
01:55My failure.
01:58The next day I went to the moonlight cloister alone.
02:01Its stone cloister rose high and gloomy,
02:04Pale moonlight seeping through the dome,
02:07Dying everything eerily silent.
02:09What should have been a place of prayer hung in the air with a strange
02:12Scent pine resin mixed with faint trembling gasps.
02:16The sound was barely audible,
02:18Yet carried a bone-melting magnetism.
02:20It was Aldrich's voice.
02:22The one I knew best.
02:24The voice he took after dark.
02:26My feet froze in place,
02:28My heart hammering so hard it threatened to shatter my ribs.
02:32I ducked instinctively into the shadow of a carved stone pillar.
02:36At the end of the corridor,
02:37Moonlight painted two figures in shameless intimacy.
02:40Aldrich had his back to me,
02:42His shoulders tensed like a drawn bow,
02:44His eyes glinting pale gold,
02:46A sign that the werewolf within him had been roused to desire.
02:50Before him stood sister Leah,
02:52Her neck tilted slightly upward,
02:54Her wimple slipped off,
02:55Long hair falling over her shoulders.
02:58She reached out,
02:59Her fingertips gliding slowly and lightly across his tight collarbone,
03:03Pressing against his heaving chest,
03:05Her voice soft as honey-drenched silk.
03:11To keep her bound to you,
03:13You have killed your own pup,
03:14With your own hands five times.
03:17When you hold her at night,
03:19Do you never think of the flesh and blood that died in her womb?
03:22Each word was a burning needle,
03:24Piercing all my naivety.
03:26The air thickened with a forbidden mix of lust,
03:29Blood,
03:29Blood and wolfish scent.
03:33Every drop of blood in my veins turned to ice in that moment.
03:37Every drop of blood in my veins turned to ice in that moment.
03:40Aldrich suddenly clamped his hand around Leah's jaw,
03:43His grip nearly violent.
03:45Silence.
03:45His voice was no longer the gentle tone I knew,
03:48But hoarse,
03:49Panting,
03:50Dangerously rough,
03:51Breathe the word of this to her,
03:52And I will flay your skin,
03:54And feed you to the wolves.
03:56Far from fearing him,
03:58Leah leaned into him,
03:59Lifting her hands to slowly loop around his neck.
04:02In the next breath,
04:03She slipped her nun's robe off one shoulder,
04:06The pale fabric sliding down.
04:08She rose on tiptoe,
04:10Her lips merely brushing his earlobe,
04:12Her breath warm and sweet.
04:13Can you truly say you are not happier when you are with me?
04:17Aldrich's Adam's apple bobbed violently,
04:19His golden eyes blazing with bestial heat.
04:22He lowered his head not a kiss,
04:24But a near-feral bite to her shoulder and neck,
04:26A muffled growl rumbling in his chest.
04:28Their gasps echoed loudly in the empty cloister,
04:31Tangled and lingering,
04:33Carrying a forbidden thrill sharp enough to tear.
04:36I stood frozen, cold to the bone,
04:38I stood frozen, cold to the bone,
04:40Trembling in every limb.
04:42The truth struck me.
04:43I did not lose my children because I was weak.
04:46The man I loved had fed me silverweed potion with his own hands,
04:50Again and again,
04:51Strangling the life from our unborn babies.
04:54My tears stung cold by the wind.
04:58A cold wind swept through me.
05:02I fled in panic.
05:06When I returned to the castle,
05:09Aldrich held me gently in his arms,
05:11But all I could smell on him was the lingering lust and blood.
05:14Hidden in his eyes was a flicker of unease,
05:16And he spoke softly.
05:17I have chosen the official royal mistress.
05:18Leah is gentle.
05:22I looked at him and suddenly smiled.
05:24A smile of a heart turned to ash.
05:27Very well,
05:27I shall arrange the ceremony for you.
05:31I got up very early the next morning.
05:35I turned and fetched the war hawk my father had left me.
05:40I dipped the quill into ink and wrote one line on parchment.
05:43Father,
05:44I seek a divorce.
05:45Come take me home.
05:51Take me away from this nightmare.
06:05Why so quiet again?
06:09I pressed my hand instinctively to my belly.
06:12A chill shooting up my spine.
06:13He sighed softly.
06:15His words light.
06:16Like a meaningless comfort.
06:18Let it go.
06:19That child was never meant to be ours.
06:21A single careless sentence.
06:23Asking me to erase five lives connected to my blood.
06:26Lives he had personally destroyed.
06:28I lifted my gaze to him.
06:30My voice light as wind.
06:32Will we ever have another child?
06:34He paused.
06:35His golden eyes firm.
06:36Even if we never have heirs,
06:37I will only ever dote on you.
06:40In that moment,
06:40I understood completely.
06:42It was not that he could not have children,
06:44he just could not let me have them.
06:46I spoke calmly.
06:48Today I went to the moonlight tomistry.
06:50Aldrich's face stiffened,
06:52panic flashing across his features.
06:54Even now,
06:55he still lied to me.
06:56I dug my nails into my palm,
06:58forcing calm.
06:59I was there too.
06:59Did we not cross paths?
07:02The place was crowded.
07:04We must have missed each other.
07:06As for the mistress,
07:07since it is decided,
07:08we shall prepare well.
07:11He relaxed.
07:16Not noticing that my heart had already died.
07:20That night I spiked a high fever,
07:22burning hot all over.
07:24Aldrich panicked
07:24and was about to send for the physician
07:26when a servant hurried in.
07:29Someone from the monastery
07:30had come bearing his token.
07:31His face darkened.
07:33He stared sharply
07:34at the hooded figure
07:35bowing at the door.
07:37I shall return shortly.
07:39Wait for me,
07:39and I'll bring you
07:40the sweetest honey cakes.
07:42I lay on the bed,
07:43my mind foggy,
07:44but my gaze clear as a mirror.
07:46Beneath that monk's habit,
07:48the skin was snow white
07:49and delicate.
07:50It was clearly Leah in disguise.
07:52I reached out
07:53and gently tugged his robe,
07:55my voice weak but steady.
07:56My alpha,
07:58let her come forward.
07:59The panic in Aldrich's eyes
08:01could no longer be hidden.
08:02He let out a cold laugh.
08:05You are disheveled now.
08:06To be seen like this
08:08would shame the prince's castle.
08:09Elena,
08:10you were raised on the border.
08:12You do not understand
08:13court etiquette.
08:14Do not be willful.
08:15His tone distant and cruel.
08:17A knife driven straight
08:18into my deepest wound.
08:20Once,
08:20I had felt inferior
08:21for not knowing court manners,
08:23but he had shielded me recklessly,
08:25defying nobles for me,
08:26throwing punches for me.
08:28Now,
08:29all that past affection
08:30and protection
08:31had turned into blades
08:32aimed at my heart.
08:33I lowered my eyes,
08:34obediently letting go.
08:36My voice so light
08:37it held no emotion.
08:38I was being thoughtless.
08:40Lena,
08:40fetch the lord his cloak.
08:42Yes, Melody.
08:42Aldrich sighed in relief
08:44and hurried off with Leah.
08:45I forced my burning body
08:47to stand
08:47and walked step by step
08:48to his study.
08:49It was a room
08:50I had decorated myself.
08:52He had once said
08:53everything in it
08:54was chosen by me,
08:55that no one else
08:56was allowed to touch it.
08:57Not even the cream
08:58he would do it himself.
09:00But now,
09:00the study was in ruins.
09:02Silver ornaments
09:03and scrolls
09:04lay scattered
09:05across the dark wooden desk.
09:06The quill I had picked
09:08for him tossed
09:08carelessly in the corner,
09:10covered in dust.
09:11The air reeked of lust
09:13involved blood.
09:14The door was not
09:15fully closed.
09:16A crack revealed
09:17every shameful act inside.
09:19Shadows flickered dimly,
09:21the air thick
09:22with overwhelming desire.
09:23Leah's voice was soft
09:25and coiling.
09:26My alpha,
09:27you are so strong.
09:29Every gasp
09:30deliberate provocation.
09:31And Aldrich,
09:32I had never seen him
09:33like this.
09:34The werewolf prince,
09:36gentle, restrained
09:37and cautious with me,
09:38had cast off
09:39all pretense,
09:40his eyes burning
09:41with wild lust,
09:42his movements rough,
09:44predatory,
09:44and intoxicated.
09:45No restraint.
09:47No tenderness.
09:48No care.
09:49A burning,
09:50mad passion
09:51I had never known.
09:52Leah tilted her face upward.
09:54Suddenly,
09:55she lifted her gaze
09:56and met mine
09:56through the gap.
09:57She started,
09:58then curled her lips
09:59into a victorious,
10:01taunting smile,
10:02raising her voice deliberately.
10:04Aldrich,
10:05gently,
10:06our child
10:08cannot bear
10:09rough handling.
10:10Child.
10:11So they have been lovers
10:12all along,
10:13already carrying
10:14a safe,
10:14crown,
10:15approved heir.
10:16And my children
10:17only because I carried
10:18a secret others
10:19spoke of had to die
10:20in my womb.
10:21I could bear no more.
10:22I turned and ran,
10:24tears streaming
10:25down my face.
10:26That night,
10:27Aldrich did not return.
10:29I sat by candlelight
10:30all night
10:31writing the divorce papers.
10:32I folded the parchment
10:34and placed it
10:34inside an oak box.
10:36Gilded with iron edges.
10:38The wedding gift
10:39he had given me
10:40with his own hands.
10:41If I ever anger you,
10:43write it down
10:43and put it here.
10:44I will check every day
10:45and never fail you.
10:47I opened the box inside
10:49still lay the little wishes
10:50I had written as a young girl.
10:52It turned out
10:53he had not opened this box
10:54in a very,
10:54very long time.
10:55The vows of old
10:57had been crushed to dust
10:58by royal power and desire.
11:00The next morning
11:01I ate breakfast calmly.
11:02Near midday,
11:03a maid rushed
11:04and pale with fear.
11:05My lady,
11:06your distant relatives
11:07have come to the manor.
11:08My heart tightened.
11:09The war hawk
11:10had been gone
11:11only one day.
11:11My father was far in the south.
11:13He could not have arrived so soon.
11:15I entered the great hall
11:16and a crude vulgar air
11:18washed over me.
11:20A stout woman stood there
11:21leading a pretty-faced girl
11:23with a frivolous gaze.
11:25Distant,
11:25relativous,
11:26barely related to me by blood.
11:28The woman beamed greedily.
11:30Elena,
11:31I heard the prince
11:32is taking an official mistress
11:33so I brought my daughter specially.
11:36She's strong and fertile.
11:38When she bears a child,
11:40it can be registered
11:41under your name,
11:42your legitimate heir.
11:44My face darkened.
11:45The prince
11:46has chosen his mistress.
11:48I have no say in this.
11:50Leave.
11:52Oh, what does it matter?
11:54Let her serve the lord
11:55as a maid first.
11:57Given time,
11:58it will happen.
11:59You've miscarried five times
12:01you'll probably never conceive again.
12:03Without a child,
12:05when the prince grows tired of you,
12:07how will you survive?
12:08The girl lifted her chin,
12:10her tone sharp as a blade.
12:11Sister cannot hold the lord's heart.
12:14Men,
12:14all prefer young,
12:17fresh things.
12:18Hatred surged within me.
12:20I raised my hand
12:21and slept head hair-haired
12:22across the face.
12:25How dare you hit me!
12:27The girl shrieked.
12:28Don't shoot me.
12:29She hits you!
12:30And so what?
12:31A deep male voice
12:32boomed suddenly,
12:33sweeping through the hall.
12:41Guards!
12:42Rip out her tongue!
12:43The other!
12:44Thirty flaps and cast out!
12:47Guards rushed forward.
12:48The mother and daughter
12:49turned ash on,
12:50screaming as they were dragged away.
12:52Aldrich immediately
12:53softened his rage,
12:55stepping quickly to take my hand.
12:57His tone tender with concern.
13:00Elena,
13:00are you alright?
13:01Were you frightened?
13:03He looked just like the man
13:04who had protected me
13:05for three years.
13:06But in the next breath,
13:07he led Leah forward from outside,
13:09his voice holding a hint
13:11of anticipation and joy.
13:14Elena,
13:15meet the woman I have chosen
13:17as royal mistress.
13:19Leah.
13:21The last flicker of warmth
13:23in my heart died completely.
13:24I smiled faintly,
13:26calm and unruffled.
13:28Very well.
13:29I shall prepare the mistress
13:30in prestation ceremony.
13:34Leah curtsied first,
13:35her head bowed,
13:36but her eyes glinted with triumph.
13:38Thank you, sister.
13:40From now on,
13:41I shall serve the alpha
13:42and you well.
13:43I spoke lightly.
13:44The ceremony will be busy.
13:46I have invited the temple sisters
13:48to oversee it.
13:49I am unwell,
13:50so I shall not join the festivities.
13:52On that day,
13:53I would leave this cage forever
13:54with my father.
13:56Aldrich did not suspect a thing.
13:58Then you have a good rest.
13:59He turned away,
14:01Leah pulling his sleeve affectionately,
14:02and they left together.
14:04I closed my eyes,
14:05unwilling to look at them any longer.
14:07The ceremony was set
14:08for half a month later,
14:09on the night of the full moon.
14:11In the days that followed,
14:13he never came to me.
14:14The full moon rose,
14:15silver light covering the earth.
14:17Outside the castle,
14:18horns blared,
14:20torches snaked like dragons,
14:21and faint howls echoed.
14:24The grand ceremony
14:25of the prince installing his mistress.
14:27I stood at the courtyard gate,
14:29listening to the noise of the city,
14:31and smiled softly.
14:33My father's black war horses
14:34waited outside.
14:36The carriage steady,
14:37holding no joy.
14:38I lifted my skirts
14:40and climbed aboard.
14:41Not looking back,
14:42the carriage slowly left the castle,
14:44but halted abruptly
14:46at the city gate.
14:48My lady,
14:50we have run into
14:51the prince's procession.
14:52I lifted the curtain.
14:54Aldrich stood
14:55in deep purple ceremonial robes,
14:57mounted on a white horse.
14:59At the sight of my father,
15:00he hastily dismounted
15:02and bowed respectfully.
15:03My father glanced at him coldly.
15:05The nightly guard exuded
15:07a clean oil.
15:08No one dared block the procession
15:10and they stepped aside.
15:11In the instant the carriage
15:12passed him by,
15:13Aldrich's head snapped up.
15:14Our eyes met.
15:15He saw me dressed in plain white.
15:17My gaze calm.
15:19Resolute.
15:20Without sorrow or joy
15:21in that moment.
15:22The invincible werewolf prince
15:24turned pale as death.
15:26Terrifying panic crashed over him
15:27like a tidal wave.
15:28He finally understood.
15:30I was not throwing a tantrum.
15:32Not being petty.
15:33I was leaving him forever.
15:35Never to return.
15:37Aldrich tore off
15:37his ceremonial robes
15:38like a madman.
15:39Leaped back onto his horse.
15:41And raced wildly
15:42towards the city gate.
15:47Duke!
15:48Which way did the Duke go?
15:50They've already left the city.
15:52With fine horses,
15:53they must be tens of miles away
15:55by now.
15:58I arrived in a small
16:00southern town with my father.
16:02Far from royal power.
16:03There were no werewolves.
16:05No fear of the full moon.
16:07No shadow of silverweed potion.
16:10Multiple miscarriages
16:11and heartbreak
16:11had left me gravely ill.
16:13My face as pale as paper.
16:15My father took me to train
16:17and practice swordsmanship
16:18each morning at dawn.
16:20Winged and son
16:21gradually restored my health
16:22in barely half a month.
16:23A clear young voice
16:25called out.
16:25Sister Elena!
16:26A figure leaped down
16:27from an apricot blossom branch.
16:29It was Kale,
16:30the merchant's son,
16:31an apprentice mercenary,
16:33and my father's new disciple.
16:35He smiled brightly,
16:36like warm sunlight
16:37holding up a paper package.
16:39I brought you warm pastries.
16:41The pastries were still hot
16:42in my hand,
16:42but I saw a bright red
16:44burn mark on his chest.
16:46My chest tightened.
16:47You carried them
16:48against your chest?
16:49Doesn't it hurt?
16:52Not at all.
16:53Kale suddenly grew serious.
16:55Sister,
16:56when you're better,
16:58will you leave here?
17:00I asked softly,
17:01why do you ask?
17:03My father said
17:03a man should build
17:04his career before marriage.
17:06When I become a true knight,
17:08I will ask master
17:09for your hand.
17:11Kale,
17:12I only think of you
17:13as a brother.
17:14I know.
17:15But a brother
17:16can become a man
17:17soon enough.
17:19I've liked you
17:19since the first time
17:20I saw you.
17:21You looked so sad
17:22back then,
17:22I didn't dare say anything.
17:25Now you smile
17:25so beautifully.
17:27I can't wait
17:28any longer.
17:29I was about to reply
17:30when a maid rushed over.
17:31My lady!
17:32It's terrible!
17:34Many men have
17:34surrounded the manor.
17:36Master Obsessed says
17:37to not escape the
17:37screw through the
17:38side gate at once.
17:40Kale immediately
17:41wrapped a cloak
17:41tightly around me
17:42and whispered,
17:43before I could react,
17:44he lifted me
17:45in his arms.
17:46Forgive my boldness.
17:49Lina, tell master
17:50I've taken
17:50your sister to safety.
17:51You need not worry.
17:52Leaped onto an apricot tree
17:54and vaulted
17:54over the wall.
17:59But we could not
18:00escape him.
18:01A dark shadow
18:03flashed past.
18:04My neck went numb
18:05and I lost consciousness.
18:07When I woke,
18:08I was in a sealed
18:09stone chamber.
18:10In dim lamplight,
18:12Aldric stared at me
18:12without blinking.
18:13In only a few days,
18:15he had become
18:16haggard beyond recognition.
18:17Stubbled,
18:18robes wrinkled,
18:19golden eyes bloodshot,
18:21filled with near-mad obsession.
18:23When I opened my eyes,
18:24he grabbed my hand violently
18:26and pressed it to his lips,
18:27his voice rough as sandpaper.
18:29Lina,
18:30Lina,
18:30I finally found you.
18:33Do you know
18:34when I saw you smiling
18:36with that boy,
18:37I wanted to kill him?
18:39I pulled my hand away coldly.
18:40My voice icy and calm.
18:42Your highness,
18:44we are divorced.
18:46Aldric turned pale,
18:47shaking his head frantically.
18:49I never agreed.
18:51I burned the divorce papers.
18:53Lina,
18:54I know I was wrong.
18:56Come back with me, please.
18:58Back to be fed
18:59silverweed potion again?
19:00I looked at him,
19:01every word cutting to the bone.
19:03You already have
19:04an official mistress,
19:05a legitimate child
19:07on the way.
19:08Why torn me still?
19:10Lina.
19:12Lina.
19:13If you hate her,
19:15I will kill her right now!
19:17I do not hate Lina!
19:20I do not!
19:21I hate our five children.
19:24Children you murdered
19:25with your own hands.
19:27You know everything.
19:29My voice shook,
19:30but clear.
19:31I know everything.
19:32Aldric trembled violently,
19:33as if struck by lightning.
19:35I know you added silverweed
19:37to my medicine every time.
19:38I know you watched me suffer
19:40and did nothing.
19:42He collapsed to his knees,
19:44his vault form nearly breaking free,
19:46tears pouring out in despair.
19:49I had no choice.
19:51You are not
19:52the Duke's biological daughter.
19:54You are the last princess
19:55of the fallen former dynasty.
19:59My brother may let you live,
20:00but he will never allow you
20:02to bear a child
20:03with former dynasty blood
20:04if I did not kill the children.
20:08You would have died.
20:09I froze,
20:10as if thunderstruck.
20:11So I was not
20:12my father's real daughter.
20:14So I lost five children,
20:16not because I was weak,
20:18not because he did not love me,
20:21but because of a birthright
20:23I did not even know I had.
20:25I looked at him,
20:26terrifyingly calm.
20:27So you knew I was
20:29the former dynasty princess.
20:30You knew we could never have children.
20:33You knew marrying me
20:35would only condemn me
20:36to miscarriage.
20:37After miscarriage,
20:39and you married me anyway.
20:41No.
20:42I'm doing this for us.
20:44For our love.
20:46Aldrich,
20:47you did not protect me,
20:48you possessed me.
20:50All the pain in my life,
20:52you gave it to me.
20:53Kale burst through the door,
20:54slamming him to the ground,
20:55a dagger at his throat.
20:57The king has already
20:59decreed your divorce.
21:00You dare to touch me, boy?
21:01I'm a prince!
21:03To abduct Lady Elena
21:04is treason.
21:05Aldrich's eyes widened,
21:06his face ashen.
21:08Just then,
21:09Leah rushed in,
21:10wearing rough cloth,
21:11her belly swollen.
21:12Before she could speak,
21:15Aldrich, no!
21:16Aldrich shoved her
21:17violently to the ground.
21:20A piercing scream,
21:22blood gushed between her legs.
21:27Winding across the stone floor
21:29in a blinding red river,
21:31Leah struggled in agony,
21:32reaching for help,
21:33but Aldrich only stared at me
21:34with bloodshot, crazed eyes,
21:37and stamped his foot down
21:38hard on her back.
21:39If she dies,
21:41if this child dies,
21:44nothing will stand-stand
21:45between us anymore.
21:47I stared at him coldly.
21:49Now you only dare
21:51c*** Kali a pregnant woman.
21:53I broke free from Kale,
21:54drew his sword,
21:55and pointed the tip at Aldrich.
21:57Today we end this.
21:58His wolfish rage erupted.
22:00He roared and
22:01lunged Dot like he is turned cold.
22:03I thrust the sword forward,
22:04the blade sinking into his right hand.
22:07His vault claw fell limp.
22:08The sword clattered to the ground.
22:11Aldrich knelt,
22:12clutching his bleeding hand,
22:14looking up at him
22:14with eyes empty and dead.
22:18Later,
22:19word spread throughout the kingdom
22:21that the prince had murdered
22:22his mistress and their unborn child.
22:25The king imprisoned him for life.
22:26On a full moon night,
22:28he dismissed all his guards
22:30and set fire to the castle.
22:32Among the ashes,
22:33people found a charred corpse.
22:35In its arms,
22:36it held tightly
22:37an oak box gilded with iron edges,
22:39burned black.
22:41As for me,
22:43in the south,
22:45life was gentle and calm.
22:47I had finally been reborn.
22:50What is lost is gone.
22:52What comes next is yet to be.
22:54What do you mean?
22:54You won't be.
22:55What about trucs called crucifix?
22:55You Mr.
