Seduced By The Dead Alpha's Brother Ep

Short filmTranscript
00:00Three days after the funeral, I seduced my dead mate's brother in front of the coffin.
00:04His fingers sank into my jaw like hooks.
00:07His thumb dragged across my lip.
00:09If you're the one coming to me, why are you shaking?
00:12Candlelight flickered.
00:13I wore nothing but thin morning linen.
00:16My back pressed against cold oak.
00:18I was outside, watching the snow.
00:21Fragile thing.
00:23Then he covered me with his body.
00:24I lied.
00:25I wasn't watching snow.
00:26I was watching death approach.
00:27In my first life, Silverstone Pax sent me to Blackstone as a peace bride.
00:32My mate Alistair died three days after our wedding,
00:35filled with his father in battle against my own people.
00:38Three months later, his mother, Luna Morrigan, gave me poisoned wine in this same hall.
00:42Daughter of the enemy, cursed widow.
00:45Your death will sever the Alliance and declare war!
00:55My soul rose up, trapped, forced to watch everything.
01:00I watched this man, Cassian, the one now pinning me against his brother's coffin,
01:05spend three years drawing Silverstone blood until the Pax bowed to one rule.
01:09I watched him hold a dagger to his own mother's throat for a shepherd girl with gray eyes.
01:14And it was in the mother-son pair's fight, and the only locket flew and passed through my ghostly heart.
01:19I woke up in the morning hall.
01:21I woke up in the morning hall.
01:23Three months from now, that silver cup would come again.
01:25I needed a way out, a way that would make Luna Morrigan spare me something like...
01:30Focus.
01:30The man above me bit out, impatient.
01:33Cassian.
01:33My voice sounded steady, steadier than I felt.
01:36Then be rougher.
01:36His breath caught.
01:38I kissed him first.
01:39He froze for half a heartbeat, surprised perhaps, that I dared.
01:43Then his hand locked at my skull, and he took the kiss deeper, harder,
01:46like a man starving and I was the only meal in reach.
01:49The coffin was ice against my back.
01:51His palm was fire against my breast.
01:53I climbed his shoulders, let the morning gown slide down one arm,
01:57and felt his teeth graze the pulse point of my throat.
01:59Or ragged breathing filled the hall.
02:01Candlelight threw our tangled shadows across the coffin lid.
02:04I needed a child.
02:05A child Luna Morrigan would believe was the last bloodline of her dead eldest son.
02:09I needed to survive.
02:11That night after, the study, the garden, my side chamber, by the bookshelf, in the snow,
02:18beside Alistair's coffin.
02:19I learned his scent.
02:21I learned when his guard dropped.
02:22I learned to wrap my legs tighter to make him spend himself inside me with desperate force.
02:27Every time he fell asleep beside me, I would take out a moon bloom leaf and press it to
02:32my flat belly, close my eyes, pray in silence.
02:35Moon goddess above, tell me the result.
02:38After a moth, I opened my eyes and saw the moon bloom leaf glowing silver in the moonlight.
02:43Poison cup arrived as I sat beside Alistair's coffin.
02:46Luna Morrigan wore Black Morning, the silver cup in her hand.
02:49Her eyes like two blocks of ice.
02:52Alistair has been gone three months.
02:54Now, it is time you are to join him.
02:57The liquid in the cup was clear.
02:59I knew that taste in my first life.
03:01It had burned like fire flowing down my throat.
03:04I cannot join Alistair.
03:06I carry his child.
03:08Her hand froze.
03:10Impossible.
03:11Alistair never marked you before his death.
03:14He marked me.
03:15Our wedding night.
03:16Don't you remember?
03:17I was gambling.
03:18Gambling that a mother would choose to believe her son had left behind blood.
03:22Gambling that she would not.
03:23At this moment, kill her own grandchild with her own hands.
03:26She stared at me for a long time.
03:28Then she set down the silver cup.
03:31Summon the moon priest.
03:33Verify.
03:38Verify whether the child in her womb carries my son's blood.
03:42Madam Cecilia, swear upon the moon goddess and any lie shall find no hiding place, munder her.
03:48The priest held the moon bloom leaf, his gaze sharp as winter frost.
03:54Witnessed by the moon goddess, I, Cecilia Silverstone, swear that the child in my womb is Blackstone Blood, Luna Morgas'
04:01grandchild.
04:04The moon bloom leaf in the priest's hand burst into silver light.
04:08The moon bloom tree confirms it is true.
04:12Luna Morgas' eyes narrowed upon me, suspicion coiling like smoke.
04:16How convenient this child's timing.
04:18I held my breath, but she only turned her gaze to the glowing leaf, then waved her hand at me.
04:23Go.
04:24Rest.
04:25My legs trembled, but I steadied myself, walked calmly out of the morning hall.
04:28I stepped into the sunlit corridor.
04:30For the first time, the air of the third month tasted sweet.
04:33Then darkness crashed over me.
04:35Suffocation seized my throat.
04:37Cassian pinned me against a corridor pillar, his fingers ironed around my neck.
04:41You schemed on me.
04:43Not a question, a verdict.
04:45His eyes burned with the same fury I had seen in my first life when he pressed his dagger to
04:49his mother's throat.
04:51Three months.
04:54You schemed to approach me.
04:56All for this child?
04:57I looked up at him, my back pressed against the pillow, as cold as the coffin had been three months
05:02before.
05:03Yes.
05:04He faltered.
05:05Perhaps he had expected denial.
05:07Wait for death or fight to live.
05:09Which would you choose?
05:11You.
05:12You think I should accept my fate with meek obedience?
05:15You know I was Silverstone's sacrifice.
05:18You know I had nowhere to go.
05:20You know your mother, Luna Morissel.
05:22Once the war between Blackstone and Silverson erupts fully, she will kill me as a banner for battle, you know?
05:27My voice cracked.
05:29You know nothing.
05:30You think I watched Clonely from the side?
05:32You have no idea what merciful arrangement I made for you.
05:36I froze.
05:37He stared at me.
05:39Fine.
05:40Since you think me an accomplice, let me show you what an accomplice can do.
05:44He seized my wrist, dragged me down the corridor, kicked open a door.
05:47I fell onto the bed.
05:49His shadow fell over me like a storm long overdue.
05:52You schemed on me.
05:53He breathed against my ear, his teeth grazing the lobe.
05:57Then scheme this to the end.
06:00That night, he had no gentleness left.
06:02His teeth sank into my shoulder.
06:04My nails carved furrows down his back.
06:06Yet his hands cradled my belly with desperate care.
06:09From the dawn, he fell asleep.
06:10I turned to study him.
06:12Moonlight poured through the window.
06:13Gilding his lashes, softening the hard lines of his face.
06:16In sleep, he looked almost harmless.
06:18I rose quietly, gathering my scattered clothes from the floor.
06:22Where are you going?
06:23His voice came from behind me, sharp, despite the hour.
06:26Luna Moriare will send someone to check.
06:28I cannot be found here.
06:31I prepared a deathfall streft for you.
06:33My hands stopped on my bodice.
06:35A cabin in the north.
06:36A new name.
06:37His voice was low, almost hollow.
06:39You could have lived.
06:40Freely.
06:41Not as my brother's widow.
06:43Not as...
06:43He paused, the word catching.
06:45Not as the woman who schemed on me.
06:47I turned to face him.
06:48He sat up in bed, the sheet sliding to his waist.
06:50His eyes bright in the darkness.
06:53Cassian, would you defy your mother's command to set me free?
06:56He looked at me for a long time.
06:58Come here.
06:59I walked over.
07:00He pulled my hand, dragged me into his arms.
07:02His heartbeat was fast, matching mine.
07:05I plan to hide you.
07:06Make you belong only to me.
07:07The Blackstone's secret draft.
07:09False death.
07:11New identity.
07:12His fingers tangled in my hair.
07:14You will be mine.
07:15Not my brother's widow.
07:17Not Blackstone's young mistress, just...
07:19He lowered his head, kissed my forehead.
07:21Mine.
07:22Mistress in the dark.
07:23The idea detonated in my skull.
07:25I shoved him away hard.
07:27This is your mercy?
07:29What?
07:29False death.
07:30New identity.
07:32Hidden away.
07:33To be your secret mistress?
07:34Cecilia...
07:35What difference is there from waiting to die?
07:37This walked toward the door.
07:38The difference is...
07:40You would live.
07:41I stopped at the door, hand on the latch.
07:43Live.
07:44As your pet?
07:45Until I die unknown?
07:47I pulled the door open, walked out.
07:49Morning light stabbed my eyes.
07:50After that day, Cassian left for battle.
07:53Luna Morrigan no longer mentioned the poisoned cup, but under her silent order, the servants
07:57ignored every request I made for daily necessities.
08:00Cold leftovers.
08:01Thin worn winter clothes.
08:03My belly grew day by day.
08:05I needed a new path.
08:06Asterisk.
08:07I began appearing at Luna Morrigan's side.
08:09Morning herbal tea afternoon walks.
08:11Evening prayers, I did not speak.
08:13Only kept her company.
08:14Two weeks passed.
08:16One day, she spoke to me.
08:17You are a quiet child.
08:19Quieter than I thought.
08:20Also smarter than I thought.
08:22I was gambling.
08:23Gambling that a mother who had lost her son needed someone to fill the emptiness.
08:28Cecilia, you are finding a way to live?
08:30My heart raced, but I only nodded.
08:32Show me your value.
08:33Cassian should take a mate.
08:35Help him choose a suitable one.
08:37Yes, Luna Morrigan.
08:39The next day, Cassian came to the back garden.
08:41He wore a deep blue formal coat.
08:43His hair bound back.
08:44A bouquet of white roses in his hand.
08:46He smiled, striding toward me.
08:48He looked at me.
08:49Lips curving.
08:50Something in his gaze making my heart skip.
08:53Then he looked past my shoulder.
08:54Saw what lay behind me.
08:56Wolf maidens gathered silk gems laughter.
08:59Twelve pairs of eyes fixed on him like wolves on fresh meat.
09:01His steps faltered.
09:03The smile froze on his face.
09:04Luna Morrigan stepped out from the pavilion, satisfaction rare on her features.
09:08Well done.
09:10Thorough arrangements.
09:13Cassian even dressed up, knows to bring gifts to please.
09:16Cassian's expression changed.
09:18Excuse us for a moment.
09:20He seized my hand, dragged me into the shadow of a corridor pillar.
09:23White rose petals crushed between his fingers.
09:26Their fragrance sharp.
09:27This is your carefully prepared surprise?
09:29Bringing me here to pick a noble mate?
09:31My back pressed against the pillar, cold as the coffin had been three months before.
09:36This was Luna Morrigan's demand.
09:37He stared at me, eyes burning.
09:39Then he laughed, that dangerous laugh.
09:41Fine.
09:42Then let me show you my surprise.
09:44Cassian pulled me back to the garden center.
09:47Mother, there is already someone in my heart.
09:50He gripped my hand.
09:51I struggled, tried to shake him off, but he would not release.
09:54Luna Morrigan frowned.
09:55Do not jest.
09:56No jest.
09:57I feared he would speak madness.
09:59I wrenched at his fingers with all my strength.
10:01The one I desire.
10:02His hand finally torn from mine, his eyes on me.
10:05Is her.
10:06All gazes followed his pointing finger to me.
10:08I froze.
10:09Screaming inwardly ruined crashed behind me, a porcelain shattered.
10:13I turned one step away stood Aayla.
10:15Who is this girl?
10:16Cassian fell silent.
10:18Aayla only looked at him timid.
10:19Cecilia, you tell me.
10:21I turned, my face stiffening to Luna Morrigan.
10:23A shepherd girl I brought back.
10:25Isla.
10:26Luna Morrigan's expression shifted.
10:28She looked past me to the girl behind me.
10:30A low-born woman who bewitches Blackstone's future alpha should die.
10:36I could not tell which of us she meant.
10:38Isla is my beloved.
10:39Cassian's hand clenched into a fist.
10:41Though his voice was not loud, the entire garden heard.
10:44I exhaled.
10:45My fingers stopped tingling.
10:47My heartbeat dropped from my throat back to my chest.
10:50He had chosen her.
10:51Just as in the first life, history was repeating itself.
10:54And I.
10:54I was merely the one standing beside.
10:57Luna Morrigan's expression did not change.
10:59She only waved her hand.
11:01The ball is dismissed.
11:02The twelve wolf maidens exchanged glances.
11:04Then lowered their heads and withdrew.
11:07Aayla remained standing, gray eyes on the shattered porcelain.
11:10Soup stains at her feet.
11:11You stay.
11:14And you.
11:15The door closed behind us.
11:17Luna Morrigan sat in the master seat.
11:19Cassian stood.
11:20Aayla knelt.
11:20I stood by the corridor pillar like a shadow.
11:23Kill her.
11:24Tonight.
11:25Who?
11:26The shepherd girl.
11:28Impossible.
11:29Luna Morrigan's fingers tapped the armrest slow, like a countdown.
11:33Cassian, you are the future alpha.
11:35Your mate must be the Pax Luna, not some roadside shepherd girl.
11:39I choose myself.
11:40You choose?
11:44Do you choose a mate, or do you choose rebellion?
11:47Cassian's shoulders tensed.
11:49I knew this stance in my first life.
11:51Before he pressed the dagger to her throat, he had stood just so.
11:54Your need for control.
11:56But when will it end?
11:57When you become alpha.
11:59I am alpha now.
12:01You are the future.
12:01Since your father's death, since your brother's death, until I make you so.
12:05You are only Cassia, my son.
12:07The air froze.
12:08Aayla's knees trembled.
12:10I looked at her, remembering myself kneeling in the morning hall.
12:13We were both chips.
12:14Both tools.
12:15Both.
12:16I choose the one I desire as my mate.
12:18She cannot become Luna.
12:19I do not need Luna.
12:21Every alpha needs a Luna.
12:23Otherwise, the pack splits, bleeds, falls to...
12:26Falls to what?
12:28Like father?
12:29Like brother?
12:30Dying under silver steel blades?
12:32Her expression finally changed.
12:34You hate me.
12:35Because you believe I drove them to their deaths.
12:38Did you not?
12:40They chose the battlefield themselves.
12:43Not I.
12:44Cassian looked at her for a long time.
12:46Then swiftly, he glanced at me.
12:47He turned.
12:48Took Aayla's hand.
12:49She will not die.
12:51Unless you kill me first.
12:53Cassian passed by me without another look.
12:56Luna Morrigan turned.
12:57Her gaze passing over me to the garden beyond.
13:00Cecilia.
13:01You saw.
13:02This is the future alpha.
13:05Weak.
13:05Bewitched.
13:06Taken by...
13:07By what?
13:08She did not answer.
13:09She only waved her hand, dismissing me.
13:11As I turned, I heard her whisper.
13:13By love.
13:14After that night, Cassian brought Aayla into his quarters.
13:17I heard he gave her the best chamber.
13:19Heard he sent her silk gowns.
13:20Heard he seated her at his right hand during dinner.
13:23Luna Morrigan said nothing.
13:24She only had me bring more herbal tea.
13:26More afternoon walks.
13:27More silent companionship.
13:29She was waiting.
13:30As was I.
13:31My belly grew rounder.
13:32The moon-bloom leaf glowed in my palm.
13:34The priest pronounced the child healthy.
13:36The bloodline pure.
13:37Said Luna Morrigan should be pleased.
13:39But she only nodded, her eyes on the window toward Cassian's quarters.
13:43Cecilia.
13:44She said suddenly.
13:45How long do you think Aayla will live?
13:46My hand stilled.
13:48Alistair hated me.
13:49She said, not looking at me.
13:50Because I forced him to marry a stranger.
13:52You.
13:53She turned to me, looking at my belly.
13:55But I was right.
13:56At least this preserved his bloodline.
13:58Do you not agree?
13:59I dared not respond.
14:01Afraid the moon-bloom leaf in my palm would expose my lie.
14:04Now Cassian hates me.
14:06History repeats.
14:08What should I do?
14:09I looked at her.
14:10This woman who had killed me in my first life now asking me what to do.
14:14What do you wish me to do?
14:15She smiled.
14:16That smile.
14:17Identical to when she had offered me poisoned wine in my first life.
14:20She produced the same silver cup.
14:22I was not surprised.
14:24Clear liquid identical to before.
14:26Aayla must die.
14:28Luna Morrigan pushed the cup toward me.
14:29Or you join her.
14:31After you deliver the child.
14:33I cannot kill an innocent.
14:35Then you are useless.
14:36Useless people should not consume Blackstone's resources.
14:40After she left, the poison cup remained on the table.
14:42The days that followed returned to what they had been.
14:45Cold meals.
14:46Thin clothes.
14:47Servants looking through me as if I were air.
14:49This time.
14:49I knew it was Luna Morrigan's design.
14:51She was forcing me.
14:52Forcing me to move against Aayla.
14:54I could not.
14:55Harming the innocent was not my way.
14:57Let alone.
14:57Aayla was Cassian's chosen beloved.
14:59In my first life after death, I had watched him draw his dagger against his own mother Luna Morrigan
15:04for this woman.
15:05If harm came to Aayla, in the future he would make me pay in blood.
15:08Yet I could not defy Luna Morrigan.
15:10If I did not act against Aayla, she would make my life unbearable.
15:14What could I do?
15:15As long as I remained here between these two, I would find no path to survival.
15:19Here.
15:19Here.
15:20The thought struck.
15:21Leave.
15:21Leave this place.
15:22No longer the enemy's daughter, the widow who cursed the family heir.
15:26But how to escape the heavily guarded Blackstone Manor.
15:29I needed the death false draft.
15:31Cassian had spoken of it.
15:32The Blackstone's secret draft.
15:33I infiltrated Cassian's quarters.
15:36A few maids passed.
15:37I hid behind a corridor pillar.
15:40Aayla is so fortunate.
15:41Prince Cassian visits her every night.
15:43I watched Cassian enter Aayla's chamber.
15:45The lamp burned for a long while.
15:47Good their world of two.
15:48Time for me.
15:49Study hidden compartment.
15:51Secret chamber.
15:51I searched every place until at last I found a plain white porcelain bottle by his bed.
15:56My hands trembled as I opened it.
15:58The smell was sharp.
15:59But I could not tell if it was what I need.
16:01I took out the moon bloom leaf.
16:03Pressed it to the bottle.
16:04Closed my eyes.
16:05Moon bloom tree above.
16:07Reveal the truth.
16:08The leaf glowed.
16:09Images flooded in.
16:10Not the draft ingredients.
16:11Cassian.
16:12Standing bathed in the moonlight.
16:14Leaf in hand.
16:14Eyes closed.
16:15Murmuring.
16:16The vision shifted.
16:17He looked at me in the morning hall.
16:18In the study.
16:19In the garden.
16:20His heart racing.
16:21His temperature rising.
16:23His wolf spirit restless.
16:24Not Aayla.
16:25Me every time he entered Aayla's chamber.
16:27He stood at the window looking toward my direction.
16:29Every time he said,
16:31My beloved.
16:32His fingers clenched.
16:33As if enduring pain.
16:34The moon bloom leaf does not lie.
16:36You saw.
16:37My eyes flew open.
16:39Cassian stood in the doorway.
16:40Face pale.
16:41You came to steal the death false drooped.
16:43I stepped back, my spine hitting the wall.
16:45Uncertain if it was real?
16:47Luna ordered me to kill Aayla.
16:49Or die with her.
16:50He entered.
16:51Closed the door.
16:52Then die.
16:53False death.
16:54I will help you.
16:56Why?
16:57Why help me?
16:58He approached.
16:59Hand covering mine on the leaf.
17:01Because I love you.
17:02The moon bloom tree bears witness.
17:04The moon bloom leaf burst into light.
17:06He drew closer.
17:07Hands on my shoulders.
17:09The death false drafeth.
17:10The northern cabin.
17:11New identity.
17:13Freedom.
17:14You still want me as your secret mistress?
17:16Never.
17:16Only temporary.
17:18Until I am no longer under my mother's coercion.
17:20Until she poses no threat to you.
17:22One hand tangled in my hair.
17:23The other took the porcelain bottle from my grasp.
17:26The real draf is in a safer place.
17:28In three days it is mother's birthday banquet.
17:31In the chaos, I will give it to you.
17:33Why help me?
17:36Because you are mine.
17:38I watched Cassian walk into Aayla's chamber.
17:41The lamp burned.
17:42I hid behind the corridor pillar.
17:44It was deep night.
17:45I saw him stand at the window looking toward my direction.
17:47Aayla sat at the bed's edge.
17:49Gray eyes on him.
17:50Like looking at a door that would not open.
17:52My lord, will you not rest?
17:54You sleep.
17:55I will watch.
17:56Watch what?
17:57Watch whom?
17:58I thought of my first life.
17:59At the altar, I saw him press the dagger to Luna's throat.
18:02I saw him go mad for Aayla.
18:04But perhaps, all of it, performance, Aayla was only a shield.
18:07In that life, he fought his mother for power.
18:09In this one, part of that fight was for me.
18:12The morning of the banquet, Luna summoned me at the tower.
18:15Cecilia, you have been restless these days.
18:18I said nothing.
18:19My heart tightened.
18:20Cassian and you, did you think I did not know?
18:23My blood turned to ice.
18:25Aayla is merely a shield.
18:27He thinks he has won.
18:29But he is only my son.
18:31Luna Morian, I do not understand.
18:34What misunderstanding?
18:35What misunderstanding?
18:36That my second son fell in love with my first son's widow and got her with child?
18:39I collapsed, shock draining my strength.
18:42But I clung to hope.
18:43The child in my womb is your grandchild.
18:45Enemy blood.
18:46Bastard born of adultery, unfit to taint the family line.
18:49She waved her hand.
18:51Two blackstone warriors emerged from the shadows.
18:54Deal with her.
18:55While today's banquet burns bright, let us add some fire.
