Short filmTranscript
00:00I was a slave. Yet every night, I had to take Luna's place and sleep with the Alpha.
00:05On the bed, I begged him to mark me and make me one of his mates.
00:08Please, make me your wife.
00:11What are you thinking?
00:14You're nothing but a slave.
00:16I close my eyes. Every wolf in the pack knows.
00:19Kaylin doesn't just love Lady Vivian, he worships her.
00:23So the next morning, I walked straight to the pack matriarch and kneeled before her.
00:27I volunteered to marry her eldest son.
00:30Kaylin's dying brother.
00:31Firstly shocked, then the pack matriarch's eyes filled with tears.
00:35After the ghost marriage is done, you'll have to keep Widowsville for your mate forever.
00:40My good child, have you truly thought this through?
00:45I will have no regrets.
00:47Alpha Kaylin and Lady Vivian had gone deathly pale.
00:50On the full moon night, Kaylin came to Vivian's room again.
00:53I watched them through the crack in the door, his voice low and honeyed, her laugh like silver.
00:58Vivian left to wash up, cheeks ruined with wanting.
01:02Before she went, she killed every candle, as always.
01:05An hour later, I stepped into the dark.
01:07His scent hit me first, and my traitorous body answered.
01:11Heart slamming, skin tight.
01:13Why are you so cold?
01:15I was outside, watching the snow.
01:18Truth is, I'd been shivering at the threshold in a thin slip for an hour, waiting for her signal like
01:24a good little ghost.
01:26You smelled.
01:28A pause.
01:29My heart stopped.
01:30The tincture.
01:31So nice.
01:32His mouth found mine in the dark.
01:34His hardness reached my soul.
01:44Before dawn, I knelt at Vivian's feet and recited him.
01:47Every whisper.
01:48Every mark blooming purple on my throat.
01:51Her expression curdled.
01:52Then she walked back into his arms.
01:54Kaylin caught her hair around one lazy finger.
01:57You've been sneaking out to find yourself another wolf.
01:59She swatted him, pouting prettily, as if she were the one.
02:03Vivian was beautiful, and chronically, devastatingly fragile.
02:07Kaylin saw her at the spring hunt gathering.
02:09He fell instantly.
02:11Offered her the first mate rank before the night was over.
02:14Perfect together.
02:15Everyone said so.
02:16As her bonded handmaid, I was genuinely happy for them.
02:19Until their bonding night.
02:24Three nights in a row.
02:25No completed bond.
02:27No mating mark.
02:27Overnight, Vivian became the pack's favorite joke.
02:31Desperate, Vivian invented the switch.
02:33Every night, candles out, handmade substitutes.
02:37Masking tinctures rubbed into my skin until I smelled like her ghost.
02:41Of all her handmaids, only I was a viable double.
02:44Vivian and I were built from the same blueprint.
02:47The same narrow waist.
02:48The same pale slope of shoulder and throat.
02:50Side by side in daylight, the resemblance was unsettling.
02:54In total darkness, with the masking tinctures working through my skin,
02:57his wolf couldn't tell the difference.
03:00What Vivian hadn't accounted for, I was not fragile.
03:03She broke under Kaylin's hands.
03:05I did not.
03:06What she couldn't endure, I simply survived.
03:09Body learning the architecture of his need.
03:12Learning to anticipate it.
03:14Relax.
03:15Relax.
03:15Only three years.
03:16My body will recover.
03:18Then I will give you enough gold to live well outside the mansion.
03:21Think about it.
03:22My whole family's safety rested in her hands.
03:25I had no choice.
03:26One hour later, Vivian and Kaylin finally rose.
03:30I returned to my quarters briefly, then went in to lay out the morning meal.
03:36Why are you dressed like that?
03:38I didn't know how to answer.
03:39I pressed my lips together.
03:42Kaylin bit.
03:43Hard.
03:44Darling, you've forgotten Selena is mute.
03:46I nodded quickly.
03:48Serving Vivian meant constant proximity to Kaylin,
03:51and she was terrified of exposure.
03:53So she declared me mute.
03:55The entire pack believed it.
03:57Your little mute is striking.
03:59Sad, almost, how pretty she is.
04:00And what exactly does my alpha mean by that?
04:03Has she caught your eye?
04:05I haven't blamed you for anything yet, and you're already turning on me.
04:10Kaylin had pushed too far last night.
04:12I'd wept myself hoarse, then bitten him hard.
04:15He'd walked through silver and hellfire to earn his title.
04:19Scars mapping him from throat to hip.
04:22He wouldn't care about a few teeth marks.
04:24This whole performance was foreplay.
04:27I don't know how much time passed.
04:29You insolent thing!
04:31You dared bite him?
04:32Are you challenging me?
04:33I had no time to defend myself.
04:35Vivian had me bound, dragged to the supply outbuilding.
04:39No food, no water.
04:41Kaylin had left for the border territories.
04:43However long he was gone, I stayed locked up.
04:46I was barely breathing when my sister found a way through.
04:49Briar had bribed the guard, slipped a bowl of broth under the door.
04:53She was my younger sister.
04:54Sister, what did you do to make the lady so angry?
04:57Briar, when will Kaylin be back?
04:59The guards say tonight, and he's going straight to the lady's room.
05:04What else was happening in the mansion?
05:05The alpha-haired, his wolf spirit is fading again.
05:07The pack healers say there's nothing left to do.
05:09They're preparing the rates.
05:10Lucian, the elder brother, cursed since birth, fading.
05:14Never anchored to this world.
05:16He's never taken a mate.
05:17The matriarch doesn't want him to cross alone.
05:19She's looking for someone willing to complete a spirit bond.
05:22A spirit bond with a dying alpha heir meant grieving him forever.
05:27No high-ranking female would consent.
05:29Not even the lower-ranked handmaids.
05:31At dusk, they released me.
05:32I'd be needed that night.
05:34Selina, I was impulsive.
05:36I meant to release you hours ago, but things got away from me.
05:39Don't hold it against me.
05:41Of course not, my lady.
05:42My lady, it has been three years.
05:45When will I leave the pack mansion?
05:46You want to leave?
05:47Yes, my body hasn't healed.
05:49Kaylin still needs you.
05:50If you insist on leave, I'll simply use Briar instead.
05:53Your sisters.
05:54The voice, the build.
05:55Close enough.
05:55How old is she?
05:56Thirteen or fourteen?
05:58Then, could Kaylin at least give me a rank?
06:01Reaching for status now?
06:04If I wanted Kaylin to take a new mate, I have a hundred candidates.
06:08You would never make that list.
06:10Don't bother trying to go through Kaylin directly.
06:13You're a convenience to him.
06:17Even if you ended up in his quarters permanently, I could have you removed with a single word.
06:24But every un-mated female is supposed to be matched eventually.
06:28Eventually?
06:28Was I supposed to be her substitute?
06:31In bed?
06:32For the rest of my life?
06:33The gatekeeper's son is your age.
06:35When you turn sixteen next year, I'll arrange the match.
06:38The gatekeeper's son.
06:39A man with a child's mind.
06:42And fists like hammers.
06:44Hitting because it was the only thing he knew.
06:46Only by being bound to someone that broken would I remain useful.
06:50And too far gone to threaten her.
06:53Kaylin returned.
06:54To find me kneeling.
06:56You're home!
06:57You must be exhausted!
06:58This girl broke the crystal chalice from the Western Alliance.
07:01I've had her kneeling.
07:03Kaylin stepped over me, without a glance.
07:06What's the status on my brother?
07:08I've asked every un-mated female in the pack.
07:10A spirit bond sounds like a curse to them.
07:13None of the young wolves will agree.
07:14What's there to agree about?
07:16Find a female, threaten someone she loves, and it's done.
07:19That kind of coercion would be hard to hide from your mother.
07:22Enough gold and fear will find a willing body.
07:26And if you handle this well, my mother might finally look at you differently.
07:33Every time Kaylin came back from the border, he spent the whole night making up for lost time.
07:38He was an alpha who'd spent weeks at war.
07:41He came home hungry, and he made that hunger my problem.
07:46That night, I gave him everything.
07:49Pushed past my own limits to match him.
07:51Why so eager tonight?
07:52Did you miss me?
07:54I rarely initiated.
07:56He noticed.
07:57Good girl.
07:58Near dawn, I came back to myself in pieces.
08:04Trying to run again?
08:08My wolf has always been scent sensitive.
08:14I've known about your lady's little switch since the beginning.
08:17No wonder.
08:18He grew bolder every time, which meant he never held back.
08:22It was all for me.
08:24Then why won't you give me a rank?
08:26A rank?
08:27She's the one who brought you here.
08:29I'm not going to be the one to claim her handmaid.
08:32That would fracture our bond.
08:33She was right.
08:34A she-wolf taken for free.
08:36Why give her a title?
08:38What grows in the dark stays small.
08:42Speechless with joy?
08:43Thank you for your generosities, Alpha.
08:45I'm afraid I don't have the kind of luck to deserve it.
08:48You've shared my bed for years.
08:49Don't get ideas above your station.
08:51He didn't like greedy she-wolves.
08:53He had others.
08:55Bonded females.
08:56All with bloodlines.
08:57Gifts from allied packs.
09:00And yet, since Vivian came, he never touched them.
09:03The pack praised him for devotion.
09:05And he wore that praise like armor.
09:08A handmaid, born to serve, was never meant to stand beside him.
09:13The colder I became, I was born low.
09:17I don't deserve a rank.
09:18And I don't belong in your quarters.
09:20I only hope you and the lady are devoted to each other until the end.
09:22The next morning, Briar heard of Vivian's plan to marry me off to the gatekeeper's son.
09:27We served her faithfully.
09:28How can she be this cruel?
09:30That brute would be a slow death.
09:33The thought lingered, then twisted into something darker.
09:36If I couldn't escape fate, I would choose it.
09:40I will take the spirit bond with Lucian.
09:42The matriarch stared, then broke into astonished relief.
09:46She asked my name, my birthdate, my bloodline.
09:48The pack shaman consulted the moon charts and looked up, nodding.
09:52This female's spirit signature aligns with the heirs in a way I have not seen in decades.
09:57She was born into hardship, which means she carries the kind of resilience that could anchor him.
10:02The bond will serve him well in the next life.
10:05Cailin and Vivian arrived quickly once word spread.
10:07They walked in together to find me sitting at the matriarch's feet, working the tension from her ankles.
10:13Cailin's voice came first, amused, sharp.
10:16This is the female who agreed to bond with my brother?
10:18Whoever's handmaid she is, she has a rare heart.
10:21Mother, you must reward her well.
10:22I turned and faced them.
10:24Cailin went very still.
10:25It's me.
10:26Alpha Cailin.
10:27Lady Vivian's.
10:30You're supposed to be mute.
10:32I can speak.
10:33My lady simply prefers I don't.
10:36Vivian's face turned to chalk.
10:37I didn't know your household contained such a loyal soul.
10:40But once this bond is sealed, you'll carry his grief for the rest of your days.
10:44Are you certain?
10:45I will never regret it.
10:47The hand hanging at Cailin's side curled into a fist.
10:50He stared at me like I had become something he didn't recognize.
10:52Cailin, tell me what you want.
10:55Silver, land, titles, anything I can grant is yours.
11:00I turned and looked at Vivian.
11:01She held her smile together, but she took half a step back.
11:05After a long pause, I dropped my eyes.
11:07I have a younger sister.
11:09Briar, I ask that she be transferred to your personal household matriarch.
11:12She's already part of this pack.
11:14I'll see to her for the rest of her life.
11:16Vivian's smile pulled thin.
11:19Mother, Briar came with my dowie pack.
11:21She's my bonded household.
11:22I'd hate to be ungenerous, but-
11:24She's a handmaid.
11:25Mother wants her.
11:26Give her over.
11:27Cailin's voice cut across hers, flat and final.
11:30The matriarch's expression had gone stone cold.
11:33Bring the bond papers.
11:36I will find Briar a secure place before I pass.
11:40You don't have to worry about her ever again.
11:42I hadn't expected the matriarch to think about her entire future.
11:46Moved beyond words.
11:48Thank you, matriarch.
11:50I promise to care for Lucian with everything I have.
11:53When the matriarch spoke of her eldest son, she couldn't stop the break in her voice.
11:57I was pregnant with Lucian during the Dark Coven War.
12:02The fear marked him at birth.
12:04He came into the world without breath, without a wolf spirit.
12:09His father had returned victorious that same night and brought someone with him from the
12:13deep forest, a shaman.
12:15The shaman's methods were outside anything the pack had seen.
12:18He brought Lucian back from the edge of nothing.
12:21It should have been a miracle.
12:22But the shaman warned them.
12:23Pulling a spirit back across that threshold was a transgression against the laws of wolf
12:28and moon.
12:29Lucian could live, but only for 30 years.
12:31No more.
12:32And so it had been.
12:33Lucian had grown up slight, unable to shift into warrior form.
12:37But razor sharp in mind.
12:39A natural strategist.
12:40A scholar.
12:41He'd won council honors young.
12:43But the older he got, the weaker his body became.
12:46Eventually, he stopped leaving his territory altogether, retreating to a lakeside cabin at
12:51the edge of the pack mansion.
12:52Since I had agreed to the spirit bond, I was to remain at his side.
12:56Word was that he didn't allow anyone to serve him.
12:59Just the shaman, who had stayed all these years.
13:01The shaman brought me into the cabin while Lucian was asleep.
13:04I looked at his face.
13:05His lashes trembled faintly with each shallow breath.
13:08He was two years older than Kaelin, 27.
13:11The brothers looked nothing alike.
13:13Kaelin was bronze and hard-edged from years of combat training.
13:17Lucian was fine-boned, pale as snow.
13:19Almost startlingly beautiful in a way that made you forget to breathe.
13:23I spent the afternoon learning his preferences.
13:25When the sun touched the horizon, Lucian finally woke.
13:28It was time for his medicine.
13:30I'd spent the afternoon learning to brew it from the shaman.
13:32So you're the female who plans to bond with my corpse?
13:35Yes.
13:36Get up.
13:37He picked up the bowl calmly.
13:42I don't want it.
13:44What are you going to do about it?
13:45Lucian looked up, a thread of provocation in his gaze.
13:48The shaman had told me Lucian was a person of pure instinct, all feeling, no armor.
13:53Earned honors at 15, and had the makings of something extraordinary ahead of him.
13:58Then one evening, a hunting trip with Kaelin ended with Lucian falling off the cliff and drown in the water,
14:05his wolf spirit seizing and three days of unconsciousness.
14:08The matriarch had broken every servant in his household for failing him, and sold the rest.
14:13Lucian didn't treat servants like livestock.
14:16He'd read too much and thought too hard to do that.
14:20Alpha hair, I genuinely can't force you, but since we're going to be bonded eventually, perhaps...
14:28I look down at the dark liquid.
14:30Perhaps I should start exercising a mate's authority now.
14:34Either you drink this, or...
14:37Or what?
14:39The shaman had told me Lucian had refused medicine for six months.
14:43That was why he was hovering at the edge of nothing.
14:45At this rate, he wouldn't survive to spring.
15:01When I looked at him again, vivid color had bloomed across his face,
15:05like dawn breaking over frost.
15:07Those butterfly-winged lashes were trembling.
15:10With outrage, I thought, distantly, of every arrogant she-wolf Kaelin had ever teased into furious, helpless blushing.
15:17Lucian's expression was painfully similar.
15:20A prick of guilt moved through me.
15:22I forced my own pulse to slow, keeping my voice steady.
15:25If you won't drink, I'll be forced to do that again.
15:44Alpha hair, your color has improved over these past few days.
15:48Your skin isn't as cold as it was.
15:49That's the medicine working.
15:51Medicine is useless.
15:53The shaman works hard to brew it.
15:55If you pour it out every time, he'll be heartbroken.
15:58Watch.
16:00Testing the temperature alone takes constant checking to preserve the potency.
16:04I've only been doing it a few days, and my hands already look like this.
16:08He pressed his lips together, said nothing, and drank the rest of the bowl without being asked.
16:14After that, he never made me beg him to drink his medicine again.
16:19Half a month later, the shaman gave the matriarch his report.
16:23Lucian had genuinely improved, no longer at death's edge.
16:27Could it be a final surge before the end?
16:30No, it's real healing.
16:33This one is responsible.
16:34I told you before, her wolf spirit signature is a natural compliment to his.
16:38She steadies him.
16:40The matriarch looked satisfied.
16:42When she turned to me, her eyes were almost tender.
16:45How has Selina been caring for you?
16:51She's been taking very good care of me.
16:56Alpha Lucian may not know, but when Selina was serving in my household,
17:00her skill at attending to Caelan was quite exceptional as well.
17:04Such a good servant.
17:06The air went very still.
17:09Is that how you speak to your future sister-in-law?
17:13Vivian, you are young.
17:15But that is no excuse for ignorance of PAC law.
17:19Shut up!
17:20Stop embarrassing yourself!
17:23Days later...
17:24Did you hear about it?
17:26Vivian had found another substitute.
17:28She looked for a maid again?
17:29Not from the PAC's own hand-aids.
17:31She'd bought a woman from outside, trained and shaped to match her voice and build exactly.
17:35How do you know?
17:35Because Caelan lit every lantern in the room that night,
17:38and when he saw what he saw,
17:39he beat woman half to death and threw her at Vivian's feet.
17:42Vivian had fainted.
17:43And then?
17:43He said if she refused to truly share his bed, he would never come to her rooms again.
17:47They're sleeping in separate dens now.
17:49Separate dens meant every wolf in the PAC knew the bond was broken.
17:52No mate's devotion.
17:54No matriarch's approval.
17:56No pups.
17:57No wonder Vivian looked like she hadn't slept in a month.
18:04He looked fragile in the lake wind.
18:07Unsteadying.
18:08I went back to get his clothes.
18:14Is it you?
18:19Was it always you?
18:22Answer me.
18:24You think you can play mute with me again?
18:32Silence won't save you.
18:35I don't need your voice to confirm it.
18:38One night, and I'd know for certain.
18:40Had he lost his mind?
18:43I spent three years with a woman.
18:45And she's going to be bonded to my brother.
18:49How dare you make fools of us both?
18:51Especially me!
18:52Would a rank at my side really be worse than grieving a dead man forever?
18:56Do you actually want to bond with a corpse?
19:01I just want to survive!
19:06If I didn't do this, she'd give me to someone who'd break me!
19:11A formal bond, even a broken one, would have made me a untouchable!
19:16Useful to no one.
19:19Forced to stay her shadow forever.
19:21Before he could recover, I stomped hard on his foot and ran.
19:25I was still stumbling when I rounded the corner.
19:28What took you so long?
19:32I smiled, walked over, and settled the cloak around his shoulders.
19:36But he simply brushed my hand away.
19:38Somehow he lost balance and fell.
19:40His chest had a severe bruise.
19:42Just leave me.
19:43I am not your burden.
19:47Lucian liked to sit there.
19:49Open a book in the shade.
19:51Why did you really agree to the spirit bond?
19:54I didn't want to be given to the given to the gatekeeper's son.
19:58I thought it would be something like that.
20:00What is it to guess that it would be like this?
20:03The shaman pressed a small wooden box into my hands.
20:06Should I start calling you mate of the alpha?
20:08Please don't.
20:10My future, most likely, was a silent room in a shrine,
20:14grieving him in his name until I followed.
20:16With the shaman gone, I took on more responsibility,
20:19including helping Lucian bathe.
20:24I watched his ears and tried not to smile.
20:27Had no one ever helped him bathe?
20:29Kaylin had always kept half a dozen female attendants for bathing.
20:33A younger version of me would have died of the blush alone.
20:36But I wasn't that innocent girl anymore.
20:38There was a phrase I'd found in one of his books.
20:40A broken moon.
20:42A she-wolf who'd been claimed and discarded.
20:44The text said that's what I was.
20:47What strange things are you reading now?
20:50I tucked it behind my back.
20:52I'd memorized a passage and presented it to him like a prize.
20:56Look at you. Impressive.
20:58You sound like you're humeering a child.
21:02How old are you?
21:03Eighteen.
21:04I have almost a decade on you.
21:06To me, you are a child.
21:10The shaman had introduced new compounds,
21:12performed old rituals at the edge of firelight,
21:15burned offerings and whispered things I didn't catch.
21:18Speak a wish.
21:20You do it.
21:22I want you to be happy.
21:24What does that look like?
21:25Your body heals.
21:27You find a mate who deserves you.
21:28A pack of your own.
21:30A life that finally goes the way it should have.
21:33Do you mean that?
21:35Our eyes met.
21:36I looked away.
21:37Did I mean it?
21:37It didn't matter.
21:38What mattered was,
21:40the shaman's ritual apparently worked,
21:42because Lucian decided he wanted to leave the cabin.
21:45I asked him where he wanted to go.
21:47He studied me for a long moment.
21:48There's a moon festival gathering tonight.
21:51I've heard the town lights the whole river.
21:53Festival fires were always burning somewhere.
21:55Nothing special.
21:56But since coming into Vivienne's household,
21:58I hadn't been to a single one.
22:00The longing had been sitting quietly in me for years.
22:03That night,
22:03a young noblewoman arrived with her escort.
22:06They said,
22:06used to getting everything she reached for.
22:08In the river of lantern light and moving bodies,
22:11she found Lucian in seconds.
22:12Loser buys dinner at the finest inn in the city.
22:15What do you say?
22:15And she walked straight up and challenged him to a game of darts.
22:19I'd forgotten who won.
22:20I only remember the brightness in her eyes.
22:23Lucian turned to look at me.
22:25If you'd like to go,
22:26I'll wait outside.
22:27I hadn't behaved like a servant in front of him in a long time,
22:30but there were others watching.
22:32She didn't wait.
22:32She stepped around me cheerfully and reached for Lucian's chair.
22:35I watched them move into the crowd,
22:37and I felt something leave me that I hadn't known was mine to lose.
22:41I stood in the cold for a very long time.
22:43Then I remembered.
22:44Today was my birthday.
22:45She was the regent's only daughter.
22:47Every door in the wolf world was open to her.
22:50When the regent and his mate arrived at the pack mansion to formally propose the match,
22:54the matriarch looked more shaken than pleased.
22:57Through Briar, I learned the truth.
22:59It wasn't love at first sight.
23:00She'd fallen for Lucian over a decade ago,
23:03back when he was a young scholar with fire in his eyes and a future everyone could see.
23:08She'd been carrying it ever since, refusing every other offer.
23:11However, Lucian's potential mating became the pack's entire focus.
23:15Even the news that Kaylin's quartermate had conceived was forgotten.
23:18If the match succeeded, the matriarch would have been overjoyed,
23:21but Lucian was already bound by the spirit bond.
23:24To take a living mate, the bond had to be dissolved,
23:27and so I knew exactly what I had to do.
23:29Just as I'd once knelt before the matriarch and volunteered,
23:32I came before her again.
23:35I'm willing to step aside.
23:38I want Lucian to have this.
23:40I'd had the shaman check their spirit signatures as well.
23:44They aligned perfectly.
23:45She was born to rank, polished in every art,
23:48and her love for Lucian had outlasted years of silence.
23:51If he died, she would grieve him faithfully.
23:54There was nothing more I could offer that she couldn't match.
23:56So, what do you want in return?
24:00Money? Is it still about status?
24:02The matriarch squeezed my hands and asked what I wanted in return.
24:06I pressed the gold I'd saved over two years into her palm.
24:10I asked to be released from the pack's bond records.
24:13I want to be a free wolf.
24:17Child, you could ask me for so much more.
24:20I held the bow and didn't move.
24:22Tears fell, one by one, onto the stone.
24:25Take me with you, okay?
24:28Outside the pack pao shing, life was uncertain and hard.
24:32Inside, with the matriarch's protection, you would be safe.
24:35Stay, serve well, don't make enemies.
24:38The rest would come.
24:42Briar wept and pressed gold into my hands anyway.
24:45On the morning I left, many of the other handmaids came to see me off.
24:49The shaman also walked towards me in the crowd.
24:51May your ancestors guide your path.
24:56I patted my shoulder and then walked towards the crowd.
25:01I turned around and walked towards the door.
25:04But in the crowd I saw Karen also there.
25:06This is behind the crowd.
25:06This is the hour��.
25:07My wife will be beautiful.
25:07I peace.
