Court métrageTranscription
00:00I threw my body into the woods. No funeral, no grave, just crows. And that was the second time I
00:05died for him. In my world, being blind is a defect. Without a wolf, I am a mother. I am
00:11an omega, the very bottom of the pack. No strength, no shifting, no healing.
00:16A normal wolf gets stuck. Heels in minutes. Give me a paper cut, and I'll bleed for days. But I
00:23have something no one knows about. I don't see faces, I see souls. Jealousy, toxic green, hate, de-oily black.
00:31In my last life, I used it to build a king. Lucian, a forgotten fifth son. I picked him. I
00:37made him. I put him on the throne.
00:39In the day my sister Celeste died, he grabbed my jaw so hard I heard it crack. He forced a
00:46wolf's vein tincture down my throat.
00:48You blind freak. You knew I never wanted you. Celeste should have been mine from the start. And because of
00:54you, she ended up with Marcus. They tortured her to death. It was your fault.
01:01I died in agony. He gave Celeste's corpse a royal burial. He gave me the woods. But the hate, his
01:09hate, it was so consuming it dragged me right back to the death.
01:13It opened my eyes. Seventeen again. Night of the mating bell. Lucian walked straight past me and took Celeste's hand,
01:22like he was afraid someone might stop him.
01:23The bastard came back too. And he remembered everything. He is terrified I'll choose him again. Honestly, I couldn't care
01:30less.
01:30I swept my blind gaze across the back of the room. In a sea of dark, rotten souls I said.
01:36A soul so pure it glowed like liquid gold. The man in the wheelchair. The true outfit.
01:42I choose Celeste as my mate. Lucian's voice cracked through the hall like a whip. She is my one and
01:48only Luna.
01:48He walked toward my sister with eyes full of a tenderness I knew was performance. The room went silent. Then
01:54the whispers hit me like a wall.
01:56No heir in their right mind would want her.
01:58A blind Omega who couldn't even shift? What a joke. Why is she even here?
02:04Trash like her should be in the kitchen, not at a mating ball.
02:08I am an Alpha's daughter born blind. When I came up there to my wolf, I had a world full
02:14of teeth and claws.
02:16That is not just weakness. That is a death sentence. Being wolf-less, that makes you a joke.
02:22My sister Celeste is the golden child. Born with a siren song.
02:27A voice that can calm even the most violent Alpha in my life.
02:30The family treats her like a goddess. They treat me like a mistake they can't take back. Lucian dropped to
02:37one knee in front of her.
02:39Accept my mark, Celeste. I will make you the most powerful woman alive.
02:44And as he spoke, he threw one look back at me. Not an apology. A warning.
02:49He thinks he can take the throne without me this time. He thinks I was what held him back.
02:54He has no idea what he just threw away. I didn't awaken a wolf to make my rage.
02:59I got something much more dangerous. The soul line.
03:05Jealousy is toxic for you. Hate is a bottomless black. Love is pink. And the deeper the feeling, the darker
03:12it burns.
03:13In my last life, I kept him alive with this. I spotted assassins before they moved.
03:19I told him who to trust, who to kill. This time, I am going to let him have exactly what
03:24he wanted.
03:25And watch him realize too late that without me, he is nothing.
03:29And I really hope, for his sake, he doesn't end up crawling back to me, begging for a mercy on
03:35the one I know.
03:36The moment Lucian's announcement landed, every eye in the room found me.
03:41I'm just a blind girl. I'm not worthy of a man like Lucian.
03:45Celeste is the perfect match for him.
03:47At least you know your place.
03:49He stepped closer.
03:50An Omega with no wolf?
03:52I wouldn't choose you if you were the last woman breathing.
03:56Not even if you crawled to me on your knees.
03:58My mother Marilyn made a sound beside me.
04:01A sharp inhale, like she was about to say something she shouldn't.
04:04I squeezed her hand.
04:05She went quiet.
04:06I swept the room with my soul wide.
04:09Marcus, murky charcoal.
04:10Cruel underneath the surface.
04:12The other airs, muddy swirls of greed and want.
04:15In my last life, I chose Lucian because his soul looked cleaner than anyone else's in the room.
04:20It was a mask.
04:21I didn't see what was underneath until the day he killed me.
04:24The rotten, pink, purple, black.
04:26He didn't just hate what he was.
04:28He hated me.
04:29I was blind in my last life in more ways than one.
04:32Never again.
04:33Celeste glided toward me.
04:34Face arranged into the perfect picture of a loving older sister.
04:38Don't be sad.
04:39Go ahead.
04:40I'll let you have whoever you want.
04:42Her soul was churning, toxic green, edge to edge.
04:46Pure jealousy, barely holding its shape.
04:49Since no one's going to claim you anyway, you can always beg me for work.
04:54Celeste will need a personal maid.
04:55With CS Fest smitching floors, scrubbing floors all a wolfless Omega is good for.
04:59I didn't blame.
05:00I didn't even bother.
05:01None of them were worth the energy.
05:03And then, the sound of wheels.
05:06The chatter died.
05:07Then the room shifted.
05:09Kyle Ravenscroft had arrived.
05:12Uninvited.
05:13Unannounced.
05:14And completely unmoved by the spectacle.
05:16He sat in that wheelchair like a predator at rest.
05:19And then I saw.
05:21My breath caught.
05:22His soul was gold.
05:23Pure.
05:24Shimmering.
05:25Blinding gold.
05:26The mark of the moon goddess herself.
05:28The mark of a true king.
05:30I clenched my fists so hard my nails broke the skin.
05:34Last life, I picked the wrong man.
05:36I defied the moon goddess.
05:38Put a monster on the throne.
05:40And everyone paid for it.
05:42Not this time.
05:44I stood up.
05:45I walked past Lucian without a glance.
05:47Past every arrogant alpha heir in the room.
05:49I stopped in front of Kyle's wheelchair.
05:52I choose him.
05:53The hall went dead silent.
05:55Then it exploded.
05:57Lifed up.
05:57From every direction.
05:59All it wants.
06:00The blind girl and the cripple.
06:02Neither of you has a wolf.
06:05You really are a perfect match.
06:09Xayah.
06:10You can't see.
06:12You don't understand.
06:14He's in a wheelchair.
06:16She glanced at the crowd.
06:18Milking every second of it.
06:20I'll pretend I didn't hear that.
06:23Choose again.
06:24And if you truly can't find an alpha willing to have you,
06:28you're welcome to follow our caravan.
06:31Serve Lucian and me.
06:33At least you won't go hungry.
06:35I'm not anyone's servant.
06:37And I'm not a stray you take in out of pity.
06:39Kyle hadn't said a word through any of it.
06:42He just pulled his chair forward until he was right in front of me.
06:45He took my hand.
06:46His palm was large and rough.
06:48Thick with calluses.
06:50The kind you only get from yours of hard use.
06:56He took my hand and guided it to his knee.
06:59No flinching.
07:00No excuses.
07:02If he was lying.
07:03He didn't want pity for it.
07:04I left my hand there.
07:06I could feel the heat of him through the fabric intense, alive.
07:10Then a jolt.
07:11It shot through my fingertips, raced up my arm.
07:14And hit my chest like a beast.
07:16This wasn't the soul line.
07:17It was something else entirely.
07:19My blood was screaming.
07:21I don't have a wolf.
07:23I was never supposed to feel a mate bond.
07:25But there it was.
07:29Kyle's whole body locked up.
07:31I looked into his soul.
07:33Warm pink threading through shimmering gold.
07:35I leaned in close and smiled.
07:37At six minutes, Lucian's face went ugly.
07:40The mating ball isn't over.
07:43And you're out here making promises you can't keep?
07:46If you fail to heal him, the Alpha Council will have your head.
07:49Can you actually do it?
07:50I didn't answer right away.
07:52I let my fingers trail slowly along this test file.
07:56I can.
07:57But it'll require a very specific kind of contact.
08:01He understood immediately.
08:02The tips of his ears went red.
08:04He turned his head away.
08:06Couldn't quite bring himself to look at me.
08:08In my peripheral vision, Lucian's soul ignited.
08:12A roaring wall of green fire.
08:14Jealousy.
08:15A cold laugh rose in my chest.
08:17Jealous of what?
08:18Exception.
08:19You are the one who poured poison down my throat.
08:22The moment I stepped outside the hall, the world tilted.
08:25The white hot pain detonated behind my eyes.
08:29Like something was being driven through my skull from the inside.
08:33That is the cost.
08:35Every time I used a soul eye on that many people at once, it cost me.
08:38I pressed my freezing fingers to my temples.
08:41The cold always came after.
08:43After the ball, Lucian got to work.
08:45He pulled up everything from our past life.
08:47Her favorite flowers.
08:49Her secret hiding spots.
08:50Every word she'd been waiting her whole life to hear.
08:54He played her like he'd been practicing for years.
08:57That same day, a mating contract arrived at my door on heavy old parchment.
09:03I accept you as my mate.
09:05I will hold and protect you in this life and the next.
09:08Not even death will part us.
09:10The handwriting was deep and certain.
09:12No hesitation in a single stroke.
09:14It felt exactly like him.
09:16Both weddings were set for the same morning.
09:18The night before, Celeste walked into my room like she owned it.
09:22She didn't knock.
09:23Her maid tossed something at my feet.
09:25A tattered gray shawl.
09:26A kind worn by the lowest ranking of omegas.
09:29A mark of total submission.
09:32You're a blind freak, Zara.
09:37No real alpha will ever claim you.
09:40She leaned in.
09:42Voice honeyed and vicious at the same time.
09:45Lucian and I are being generous.
09:47We're keeping you on as a servant.
09:49But on the day of the ceremony, no carriage for you.
09:54You'll wear that and walk behind the caravan.
09:57Servant's entrance.
09:58Don't embarrass us.
09:59The morning came.
10:00I left the shawl on the floor where it landed.
10:03I put on the dress Kyle had sent instead.
10:06White silk, thousands of diamonds sewn into the fabric.
10:09Small enough to look like starlight.
10:11At the estate gate, two carriages waited.
10:15One was extraordinary.
10:17Draped in thumb-sized pearls.
10:19Built like a throne that happened to have wheels.
10:22The other was plain standard work.
10:25Nothing remarkable.
10:27Celeste didn't hesitate for a second.
10:30She walked straight to the pearl carriage and stepped inside.
10:34The head guard turned.
10:36His expression didn't waver.
10:39You're in the wrong carriage.
10:41This was commissioned by Alpha Kyle for his Luna and no one else.
10:46He didn't get her time to argue.
10:47Guards took her by the arms and came to run.
10:50She caught her heel on her skirt and went down hard for his face into the dirt.
10:56Lucian arrived just in time to see it.
11:00Celeste scrambled up and threw herself at him, already crying.
11:06It's Zara!
11:07She planned this!
11:10She can't stand that I'm the one becoming a Luna!
11:13She turned to the crowd gathering around them, eyes blissing.
11:17Please, don't hate her.
11:19She's struggling.
11:21I know we're in love, Lucian.
11:23But I begged you to keep her safe.
11:26I pleaded for months just so she could be our servant and I not starve on the street.
11:32She's a blind, Omega.
11:33She should be grateful anyone even bothered to take her in.
11:37To pull a strunt like this on her sister's wedding day, it's fetic.
11:40The crowd was vicious.
11:42They always are when they smell wetness.
11:45Omega!
11:45Lucian's soul was drowning in black.
11:47Thick, suffocating, ink dark.
11:50He pulled Celeste against his chest and turned on me.
11:53You're an Omega, Zara.
11:56You have no right to wear white.
11:58Take that dress off right now or I'll shred it off your back myself!
12:04Celeste buried her face in his chest.
12:06But I could see her soul.
12:08She was smirking.
12:11Lucian, you don't have me watching you back this time.
12:14What's coming for you tonight isn't a wedding.
12:18It's a funeral.
12:21Celeste, we foiled like I'd struck her.
12:24How can you curse him like that?
12:26Just because he didn't choose you?
12:28You dare curse an Alpha heir?
12:32Guards, seize her!
12:34The soldiers started moving in.
12:37Think carefully.
12:39You're laying a hand on Alpha Kyle's mate.
12:42Make sure that's a consequence you're ready to live with.
12:44Lucian laughed, jagged, ugly.
12:47Kyle, the cripple isn't even here.
12:50Probably hiding in his chambers, too embarrassed to show his face.
12:53He's using you for sport, Zara.
12:55Nothing more.
12:56He stepped forward, close enough that his shadow fell over me.
12:59Neil, beg Celeste's forgiveness.
13:03And maybe, maybe, I'll still find a use for you.
13:06Then a voice cut through everything.
13:08Who is threatening my mate?
13:09The crowd split.
13:10Kyle moved through them like they weren't there.
13:12Sharp black suit.
13:13Not a single piece out of the place.
13:15Even seated.
13:16His presence was suffocating.
13:18The moment he appeared, the street went silent.
13:20Beside him, Lucian suddenly looked like a boy wearing his mouth or something.
13:26Kyle came straight to me.
13:27He took my hand and folded it inside his large, warm, unhurried.
13:32So he laid so down.
13:34Then he looked up.
13:35Now.
13:36His eyes fixed on Lucian like a blade finding its mark.
13:39Let's try that again.
13:40Who was it that told my mate to move?
13:43The temperature in the street seemed to drop.
13:45No one moved.
13:46No one breathed.
13:47He didn't shout.
13:49Didn't signal his men.
13:50He just watched Lucian the way a predator watches something it has already decided to deal with later.
13:55I'll remember that.
13:57I'm an alpha heir.
13:58Same as you.
13:59Who the hell do you think you are?
14:01Who the hell do you think you are?
14:02A forgotten fifth son trying to give orders to my mate.
14:07You're not a rival, Lucian.
14:09You're a fit note.
14:11The color drained from Lucian's face.
14:13This isn't over.
14:14Low and mean.
14:15You'll both regret tonight.
14:18I gave you a chance, Zara.
14:20When you come crawling back, and you will, don't expect mercy.
14:25I looked at his soul, muddy green, murky and small.
14:29He genuinely believes he is the chosen one.
14:31He thinks the throne is already his, and that I was just dead weight holding him back.
14:35He has no idea what is waiting for him.
14:38Without me clearing his path, he won't last the season.
14:41He'll be lucky to still be breathing by the time the leaves turn.
14:45Oh, our first night as mates was quiet.
14:47Just the two of us, and the fire crackling low between us.
14:51We shared whiskey, amber and slow burning on the way down.
14:57I could feel his eyes, heavy and silver warm against my skin.
15:01My pulse wouldn't settle.
15:02Even sitting across from me in that chair, his presence filled the entire room.
15:07You said you could fix my legs.
15:11How?
15:13Help me with something first.
15:16I've never seen this room.
15:19Describe it to me.
15:21Then he started talking.
15:23The fires glow.
15:24The oil paintings.
15:26He told me their textures, not just their subjects.
15:29The velvet curtains.
15:30Deep and heavy.
15:31On the shelf above the nightstand.
15:35There's an old book.
15:37The cover is faded.
15:39My hand stilled around the glass.
15:41That shelf was high, nearly at the ceiling.
15:44From a wheelchair.
15:45The top of that book was completely out of sight.
15:48There was no way he could know the cover was faded.
15:50I didn't say a word.
15:52I just took another sip and filed that detail away somewhere.
15:55I wouldn't forget it.
15:57I stood up with my glass in hand, then let it slip.
16:01It hit the carpet with a dull thud and rolled toward the sofa.
16:05Kyle's body moved before his mind could stop him.
16:08His chest surged forward.
16:10The muscles in his thighs locked and coiled, dense as iron cables.
16:14For a single, unguarded second, he was about to stand.
16:19Then he caught himself and settled back into the leather as if nothing had happened.
16:23But I felt it.
16:24That reflex was all the confirmation I needed.
16:27I didn't say anything.
16:29Not yet.
16:30There's one more way to be sure.
16:34I stepped in close.
16:36And I straddled his lap.
16:38Kyle stopped breathing.
16:41The heat from his hands soaked straight through the silk.
16:44It burned against my skin like a brand.
16:47My heart was slamming.
16:48I ignored it.
16:51I raised my hand and let my fingertips trace from his jaw down to his chest.
16:56Hard as stone beneath the shirt.
16:58Not the body of a man who hadn't used his legs in seven years.
17:01I looked into his soul.
17:03A storm deep crimson.
17:05Soft pink.
17:06Something more tender than he'd admit.
17:08And threading through both.
17:09A sharp streak of dark green panic.
17:12He knew I was getting close.
17:14I leaned down.
17:20My lips barely grazed the corner of his mouth.
17:23Not a kiss.
17:24A question.
17:25His breathing came apart.
17:27And then I took his hand and pressed his palm flat against my chest.
17:31The silk between us was nothing.
17:33My face was burning.
17:34Because in that moment, his body gave me the most honest answer he had.
17:39His body reacted before his mind could stop it.
17:42I felt the shift in his balance.
17:45The sudden brace through his thighs.
17:47The instinctive drive upward.
17:49A man who hadn't used his legs in seven years wouldn't move like that.
17:53I pulled back just enough.
17:54Let the smile come slowly.
17:56Your legs are fine.
17:58That much, I know.
17:59Kyle closed his eyes.
18:01His throat moved as he swallowed.
18:03Then he stood up.
18:04One hand stayed at my waist.
18:06The other still pressed against my chest.
18:09He lifted me and I felt just how much of him there was.
18:12Nearly six foot from the Olivet muscle.
18:15My whole world was suddenly just him.
18:17How did you know?
18:19I just smiled and gave him something vague enough to pass.
18:22He set me down gently on the edge of the bed.
18:25Then stepped back.
18:26The hand that had touched my chest was shaking.
18:29I'm sorry, I shouldn't have...
18:30Don't.
18:31I'm the one who put your hand there.
18:33He looked at me for a long moment.
18:35And he laughed.
18:36A real laugh.
18:37Warm and unguarded.
18:39Like seven years of tension finally giving way.
18:42Seven years.
18:43Seven years fooling everyone.
18:45The whole damn world.
18:48And my blind mate catches me on the very first night.
18:50We didn't go any further that night.
18:52We ended up on the rug in front of the fire.
18:55The bottle of whiskey between us.
18:56And we just...
18:58Talked.
18:58He told me about the night his parents were killed.
19:01They called it a rogue wolf attack.
19:04Everyone knew what it actually was.
19:06The alpha king had ordered it.
19:08He was 15 years old.
19:10Standing at their funeral.
19:11And he made a decision.
19:13He would become the cripple.
19:15Invisible.
19:17Unthreatening.
19:18Off the king's list entirely.
19:20It was the only way to stay alive.
19:22I told him about Lucian.
19:24All of it.
19:25What he was underneath.
19:27I didn't choose you because I had no other options.
19:30I chose you because you were the only one worth choosing.
19:34I watched his soul begin to shift.
19:37The gold bleeding slowly into a deep and glowing ache.
19:41Late into the night, it came back.
19:43The splitting pain behind my temples.
19:46Like an axe working its way through bone.
19:48I tried to keep my hands still.
19:50They were shaking anyway.
19:52Kyle stopped mid-sentence.
19:54Your head.
19:55Before I could deflect, his thumbs were already at my temples.
19:59The pressure.
20:00Exact like he'd mapped the pain before he touched it.
20:03My mother used to get them.
20:04I've known what to do since I was a boy.
20:06The pain didn't ease.
20:08It vanished.
20:09We shared the same bed.
20:10His arm lay heavy and warm across my waist.
20:13My head settled against his chest.
20:15I listened to his heartbeat through my soul lie.
20:18I watched his soul settle.
20:19The gold softening, deepening into a rich and quiet pink.
20:23For the first time in two lifetimes, I felt safe.
20:26Lucian's wedding night was more than hard.
20:28In my last life, a maid tried to spike his wine with wolf's bane.
20:32I caught her before she could get close.
20:34I read the murder in her soul.
20:36Swapped the glasses.
20:37Had her detained before he'd taken a single seat.
20:40This time, I did nothing.
20:42Celeste wouldn't notice.
20:43She wouldn't know a threat if it sat down beside her and introduced itself.
20:47The next morning, Kyle and I arrived at the Alpha King's estate.
20:51No sign of Lucian.
20:53No sign of Celeste.
20:54The corridors were alive with hushed, urgent voices.
20:57The air was poisoned in his own chambers.
21:00He hasn't woken.
21:01The healers say the dose was enough to drop a grizzly.
21:04I kept my face perfectly still.
21:06But underneath me, I was smiling.
21:08Lucian's fall had started.
21:10I missed how he wasn't going to stop it.
21:12The carriage had barely rolled to a stop when Celeste appeared at the gates.
21:17She looked like she hadn't slept in days.
21:19Zara!
21:20You poisoned him!
21:23Give me the antidote right now!
21:26I felt the temperature inside the carriage shift.
21:28Kyle went very still beside me.
21:30I placed a hand on his arm.
21:32I've got this.
21:34I leaned in and pressed a quick kiss to his cheek.
21:37Then I stepped out into the morning air.
21:40Antidote?
21:41I don't have one.
21:43Whatever happened to Lucian has nothing to do with me.
21:47Liar!
21:49Then how did you know he'd be dying on his wedding night?
21:52I tilted my head.
21:54That's a serious accusation.
21:57Where's your proof?
21:59Did you catch the killer?
22:00Did you find the poison?
22:02I already knew she hadn't.
22:04The spy Marcus sent was a professional.
22:06Without my soul eye, she was a ghost.
22:08By now she was likely across the border, untouchable.
22:12Celeste stood there, mouth open, nothing coming out.
22:15If you keep causing a scene on my land, my warriors will remove you.
22:22Her eyes dropped to my neck.
22:23She saw the red mark Kyle had left there.
22:26You actually slept with him?
22:28A blind girl and a broken man?
22:31I suppose trash finds its own level.
22:33I suppose trash finds its own level.
22:35I thought about last night, the fire, the whiskey,
22:38the long silence after he finally stood up
22:40and I felt the full weight of him for the first time.
22:42Kyle wasn't broken.
22:43He was ten thousand times the man Lucian would ever be.
22:46I laughed.
22:49What is so funny?
22:51I stopped, looked at her.
22:52We're close enough to it.
22:53I'm laughing at how blind you are.
22:55Lucian is going to die.
22:58And when he goes down, he'll take you with him.
23:01If you want to survive what's coming,
23:03sever the bond now, while you still can.
23:06That was it for her.
23:07She swung at my face, wide, furious,
23:10telegraphed from a mile away.
23:12I shifted my weight and stepped aside.
23:14She hit nothing but air.
23:15The momentum carried her forward and she went down hard,
23:18palms and knees in the dirt.
23:19I looked down at her.
23:20Remember this?
23:22Because the next time you raise a hand to me I won't step aside.
23:25She stared up at me from the ground, trembling.
23:27For the first time in her life she was actually afraid of me.
23:30The blind girl she used to torment wasn't there anymore.
23:34Someone else had taken her place.
23:36Kyle was waiting when I stepped back into the carriage.
23:39He just watched me with those gray eyes.
23:41And in them, not worry, not pity.
23:43Admiration, he trusted me to handle my own affairs.
23:46That respect landed heavier than any shield he could have raised.
23:49He turned to his lead god and spoke low.
23:51No one from Lucian's pack crosses onto my land again.
23:55For any reason.
23:57Ever.
24:00After Celeste was escorted out, we turned to the business of leaving.
24:04We were heading for Thorn Harbor.
24:05The courtyard filled with people and supplies controlled chaos.
24:09And through all of it, my soul, I found a single target.
24:12A guard named Vaughn.
24:13His soul was a muddy, treacherous gray.
24:15I leaned close to Kyle's ear.
24:17Who is that man?
24:20Vaughn.
24:21He's been with me since I was 15.
24:23Saved my life twice.
24:24I pulled back and looked at him.
24:26Kyle, do you trust me?
24:28His soul flushed deep, darkening all at once.
24:31You're my mate.
24:32Of course I do.
24:33He's a traitor.
24:35We changed the route to Thorn Harbor.
24:37And we tell no one.
24:39In my last night, this was where it ended with Kyle.
24:42Ambushed on the road to the harbor.
24:44Wounds that never healed.
24:45He died defending the city walls.
24:48I finished speaking.
24:49Let my lips brush his cheek.
24:51Kyle's arm came around my waist immediately.
24:54Pulling me in.
24:55Across the yard, I felt Vaughn watching us.
24:58He clocked how close we were and looked away fast.
25:01Kyle pressed his face into the curve of my neck.
25:03His breath was warm against my skin.
25:05Are you trying to fix my legs again?
25:08Because I'm happy to wait until tonight.
25:10Or we could start now.
25:11The next morning, Vaughn was gone.
25:14Kyle sat beside me at breakfast.
25:16Cutting my steak into careful pieces without being asked.
25:20You were right.
25:21Vaughn was Marcus' man.
25:23Buried so deep, I never suspected him once in seven years.
25:27It took some...
25:30persuasion to get him to talk.
25:33He looked at me.
25:34How did you know, Zara?
25:36I looked into his soul, gold and pink.
25:38Wound together.
25:39No suspicion.
25:40No fear.
25:41Lucky guess.
25:42The words were barely out when the pain hit.
25:45White.
25:45Hot behind both temples at once.
25:47My hand went to my head before I could stop it.
25:50Kyle didn't say a word.
25:51He just moved his chair flush against mine.
25:53Un-in-hand kept cutting my food.
25:55The other reached up and wrapped around the back of my neck.
25:57The pain dissolved.
25:58He has stopped asking why it happens.
26:00He just makes sure he is there when it does.
26:03Thorn Harbor.
26:04Kyle's territory.
26:05The land was rough.
26:07Resources thin.
26:08The kind of place the Alpha Council never bothered to look at twice.
26:12The wolves here were loyal to Kyle.
26:14The way wolves are loyal to someone they've chosen.
26:17Out of true devotion.
26:19When I went to the market, they called me Luna and refused my coin.
26:22Every stall, every vendor.
26:24I had to set the money down and walk away before they touch it.
26:28I came back to the estate breathless.
26:30And my maid watched me come through the door.
26:34The Luna is blind, but she moves faster than any soldier I've trained with.
26:40Kyle heard her.
26:41That night his fingers found the edges of my eyes.
26:45Zara.
26:47Is it really just...
26:49Nothing?
26:50I nodded.
26:51He pulled me in against his chest and held me there.
26:55It doesn't matter, I'll be your eyes.
26:57Every sunrise.
26:58Every star.
27:00Whatever you want to see, I'll find the words for it.
27:03I watched his soul through all of it.
27:05The gold was shifting.
27:06Becoming something warmer, deeper.
27:08The more time we spent together, the deeper the gold grew.
27:11Every shared meal.
27:12Every quiet evening beside him.
27:14It only became richer.
27:15But then something strange started happening.
27:18When I was away from him, even briefly, I got restless.
27:20Not just missing him.
27:21It was physical.
27:22A deep pulling ache I couldn't reason away.
27:24The further I walked, the worse it pulled.
27:26Until it hurt.
27:27I told myself it was the intensity of a new bond, but I knew that wasn't it.
27:31I don't have a wolf.
27:32I was never supposed to feel this.
27:34That night when he kissed me, his soul shifted into something I'd never seen before.
27:38A pink so saturated and alive.
27:40It looked like the first day of spring breaking open all at once.
27:44The most beautiful thing I had ever seen.
27:46It didn't last.
27:47The next morning, a piece of encrypted intelligence arrived.
27:50Lucian is awake, but the damage is permanent.
27:52Intermittent mania.
27:54He has lost control of his wolf.
27:55A slow smile touched my lips.
27:57This was just the beginning of what was coming for him.
27:59But then, the catch.
28:00The Alpha Council had issued a mandatory summons.
28:03Marcus was hosting a banquet.
28:04Every heir was required to attend.
28:06No exceptions.
28:07Kyle had no choice.
28:09We were going back.
28:10Marcus' estate reeked of bad intentions before we even stepped inside.
28:13I swept the ballroom with my soul eye the moment we crossed the threshold.
28:17Oily green for greed.
28:18Thick in every corner of the room.
28:20A deep, sickening crimson for lust.
28:22And underneath all of it, something flat and purposeful that made my skin crawl.
28:26I found Kyle's hand under the table and held it.
28:28Don't eat.
28:29Don't touch the wine.
28:30And don't leave my side.
28:32Not for a second.
28:33Kyle glanced at me.
28:34As you wish, my Luna.
28:36I couldn't explain.
28:37Not here, but I remembered this night.
28:39In my last life, this banquet ended in blood.
28:41Their souls were a flat, professional gray.
28:44The color of people who had killed before and slept just fine after.
28:47Last time, when the blades came out, I didn't think.
28:50I just threw myself in front of Lucian and took a poison silver dagger to the ribs.
28:54Carried that scar for years.
28:56Lance, when Lucian was already king, I mentioned it.
28:59He looked at me with something close to boredom.
29:02Protecting your mate is your duty, Zara.
29:04You're already Luna.
29:05What more do you want?
29:06I don't make the same mistakes twice.
29:08It happened fast.
29:09The three dancers reached into their silks.
29:11Short blades.
29:12Jagged.
29:13Silver.
29:14And they lunged.
29:15Kyle moved before I could blink.
29:17He didn't care about the secret anymore.
29:19He came half out of his chair.
29:21One arm sweeping me behind him.
29:23And his guards materialized from the dark.
29:25Like they'd been part of the shadows all along.
29:27A wall of bodies between us and everything.
29:30We were safe.
29:31I looked past them toward Lucian.
29:33No one moved to cover me.
29:35The moment the first blade flashed, Celeste screamed and ran.
29:38Straight for the exit.
29:39Didn't look backwards.
29:41Lucian was surrounded.
29:43A silver dagger, soaked in concentrated wolfsbane.
29:46Buried itself into his thigh.
29:48Dark blood hit the floor.
29:49He went down hard, gasping.
29:51Through the screaming, the overturned chairs.
29:54The crush of bodies trying to flee.
29:56His eyes found mine.
29:58He was begging.
29:59His soul was a wreck.
30:01Terror and pain and underneath it all.
30:03A dark green tide of regret.
30:06I held his face.
30:07Kept my face completely still.
30:09Didn't move a single muscle.
30:11I am blind after all.
30:12I can't see a thing.
30:14I didn't make it two steps into the carriage.
30:16The spike hit the moment the door closed.
30:18Red hot.
30:19Straight through the center of my skull.
30:21It was the worst backlash I'd ever suffered.
