Court métrageTranscription
00:00I bound Silas Sterling to my bed with a blood curse for five brutal years.
00:04Every night was a war of feral snarls and desperate skin-on-skin heat.
00:09He hated me with every fiber of his wool, yet his body craved mine like an addiction.
00:14When I was dying in labor, the curse drained him dry as he gave his alpha heart blood to save
00:19me.
00:20Our pup's first cry echoed through the room, but Silas never heard it.
00:24This nightmare ends now. In the next life, let me find Chloe.
00:30Please.
00:31He begged for my half-sister, the one who had never spared him a single glance.
00:35My heart shattered as the mate bond tore itself apart inside my chest.
00:39The sterling pack threw me out like garbage the second his pulse stopped.
00:43They stripped me of everything.
00:45Driven mad by the severed bond, I let the curse worms devour me from the inside.
00:50I followed Silas into the darkness, praying the moon goddess would grant me oblivion.
00:55But when I opened my eyes, the world was bright and violent.
00:58Silas had me pinned against the wall.
01:02You toxic bitch!
01:06You cursed me just to keep me from Chloe?
01:09This was the past. I had been given a second chance.
01:12I won't let her marry Alpha Case.
01:14Last life, while I married Silas as I wanted, my sister Chloe was forced to marry Alpha Case and ended
01:19up dying within three days.
01:21This time, Silas, I'll give you exactly what you want.
01:25I will marry Alpha Case myself.
01:28Silas scoffed, razor sharp.
01:30Big words. Do you even believe them yourself?
01:32I mean every word, Silas.
01:34Then break the curse.
01:36Now.
01:37Chloe's safety is none of your concern.
01:39I'll break it.
01:40And I'll take Chloe's place as Case's mate.
01:46You? Playing the mortal now?
01:48What's the scheme this time?
01:50No scheme.
01:52I'm giving you what you want.
01:54What I want is for you to disappear from my life.
01:58Alpha Case ruled the Northern Territories with an iron claw.
02:02A warlord who'd buried three mates already.
02:05Every pack with an unwed daughter trembled at his name.
02:08Days ago, Case had demanded a sterling daughter.
02:11My parents couldn't refuse.
02:13In my last life, I'd bound Silas with the blood curse, leaving only Chloe to be dragged to Case's bed.
02:20This time, I would set Silas free.
02:23I tracked down the rogue witch who'd sold me the curse.
02:26Can it be broken?
02:27The Oblivion Worm can break it.
02:30But the cost is steep.
02:33Tell me.
02:34Heart blood.
02:35From the one each of you truly loves.
02:38Feed the worm until it turns crimson.
02:41Then swallow it whole.
02:44I rode through the night and burst into the estate with the lacquered box clutched against my chest.
02:49Silas, I found the cure!
02:51We need your heart blood and Chloe's...
02:53He struck my hand away before I could finish.
02:55The box hit the stone floor and the worm vanished into the night-blooming roses.
03:00Heart blood?
03:01Only you could dream up something so monstrous.
03:04It's not what you think!
03:05The curse is between us.
03:07Why does Chloe's blood have anything to do with it?
03:09Because the worm needs blood from the one each of us loves.
03:12I love you.
03:13You love Chloe.
03:14What an absurd excuse.
03:16Silas, please!
03:17Stop talking.
03:19I dove into the rose bushes, thorns shredding my arms.
03:22Have you lost your mind?
03:25Get out of there!
03:27For one breath, his hold felt like it used to.
03:30Let go of me.
03:31I thrashed free and hit the ground.
03:33My palm landed squarely on the fleeing worm.
03:36You're broken.
03:37Utterly broken.
03:38He turned on his heel and stormed off into the dark.
03:41So I had no choice but to go find Chloe myself.
03:44I'll take your place and mate with Alpha Case.
03:47But I need your heart blood.
03:49You might as well ask me to slit my own throat.
03:52Silas and I are poisoned by the blood curse.
03:54Break it, and the two of you can finally be together.
03:56And you'd really throw yourself into Case's bed just for that?
03:59Yes.
04:00Please.
04:03Fine.
04:04I'll summon the healer.
04:05Shockingly cooperative.
04:07I should have known better.
04:08The moment the healer raised the silver needle to her chest-
04:11Get away from her!
04:12Silas, his face drained of every drop of color.
04:15He hurled the healer aside and wrapped his coat around Chloe's trembling shoulders.
04:19Chloe?
04:20Are you alright?
04:21What did she do to you?
04:23You shouldn't have come.
04:25You actually believed her?
04:27Do you want to die-
04:28If it means being with you,
04:30even death is worth it.
04:32A single tear slid down her cheek.
04:35It landed squarely on the soft spot of Silas' heart.
04:38Before I could draw a breath,
04:39Silas was on me,
04:40slamming me against the stone pillar.
04:42Listen to me carefully.
04:44If you have a problem,
04:45you bring it to me.
04:46Don't you dare touch Chloe again.
04:50Silas, I wasn't-
04:51I don't want your excuses.
04:53Why can't you trust me?
04:54Just once!
04:56The witch told me-
04:57Trust you?
04:58After everything you've done?
05:00Over his shoulder,
05:01I caught Chloe watching me,
05:03with the faintest, smug smile curving her lips.
05:06She'd brought him here on purpose.
05:07I didn't have time to play her games.
05:11Put it down!
05:12She's your sister!
05:13Do you have no fear of the moon goddess' wrath?
05:16Please.
05:17I don't.
05:19Have you truly lost every shred of humanity?
05:22Maybe I have.
05:23I want your heart blood, Silas.
05:25Give it to me,
05:27and I'll release her.
05:28Fine.
05:28Remember what you promised.
05:30For Chloe's sake,
05:31he didn't hesitate for a breath.
05:32The healer drove the hollow needle into Silas's chest,
05:35and the memory surged up without warning.
05:38The night he saved me in my last life,
05:40he had given heart blood too,
05:42until his skin turned ashen.
05:44It's enough.
05:45Let Chloe go now.
05:47The bowl of heart blood was placed before me.
05:50Have you lost your mind?
05:52I'm your sister!
05:54Silas!
05:54Save me!
05:56Stop!
05:56If you hurt her,
05:57I will never take you as my mate,
05:59not even in death!
06:00The needles barely threw the skin.
06:02Let the healer finish,
06:04or I'll do it myself.
06:05He shoved the healer toward me at once.
06:08The moment the blood was drawn,
06:09I released Chloe
06:10and dropped the worm into the mingled heart blood.
06:13Silas had already dashed back to her.
06:14Why is she still bleeding?
06:16This is your doing.
06:20Silas.
06:21Don't speak my name.
06:23You don't understand what I just did for you.
06:26You attacked her!
06:27She did nothing to deserve this!
06:29Chloe sobbed prettily against his shoulder.
06:31Sister,
06:33what did I ever do to you?
06:36You've been given more love than I ever had.
06:39I held out the worm,
06:40now glowing a deep, pulsing crimson.
06:42This really is the cure.
06:44Taste it and you'll see.
06:46And what if it's some new curse you've cooked up?
06:49Silas, it isn't-
06:50I don't have time for your games!
06:51Then take my life too,
06:52if that's what you want.
06:55Leah!
06:59To break the blood curse,
07:00you need the heart blood of the one
07:01each of us, us loves.
07:03I love you.
07:03You love Chloe.
07:05Direct enough for you now?
07:06Sterling.
07:07Take it.
07:09Swallow it.
07:10I can't!
07:11Do it, Silas!
07:13Don't come any closer.
07:15Just take it.
07:16This time, he obeyed.
07:17He placed it on his tongue and swallowed.
07:19Relief crashed over me.
07:21The debt I had owed him from my last life,
07:24I had finally repaid it.
07:26It's done.
07:27We're done.
07:28But the moment I exhaled,
07:29my body gave out.
07:30A searing pain tore through my chest,
07:32as if something inside was devouring me alive.
07:36Leah!
07:36Leah, look at me!
07:38I'm sorry.
07:41Finally awake.
07:43Do you have any idea, child?
07:45You had one foot through death's door.
07:48Is that Sterling boy truly worth this?
07:51Father, mother.
07:52I want to mate with Alpha Case.
07:54What?
07:56Listen to me.
07:57I had a dream.
07:59A long, terrible dream of another life.
08:01A dream?
08:02In that dream, Siamus died for me.
08:04And Chloe was sent to Case.
08:05She lasted only seven days before she tried to flee.
08:08She scaled the fortress for the second floor.
08:10She died the moment she hit the rocks.
08:12Daughter, that was only a dream.
08:13It doesn't change the truth.
08:16Silas doesn't love me.
08:18He loves Chloe.
08:19Let me be the one to go to Case.
08:21Case is a death sentence!
08:23And if none of us answer his summons,
08:25do you think an Alpha like him will let our pack survive?
08:30Trust me, I won't walk Chloe's path.
08:33A distant, respectful union will be enough.
08:36Not long after they left,
08:38Silas appeared in my chambers carrying a small lacquered dish.
08:41Honey glazed meat dumplings.
08:43My favorite.
08:43He picked up the spoon to feed me.
08:45But this time, I didn't open my mouth.
08:47The curse is broken.
08:48Thank you, Sterling.
08:50You're welcome.
08:52But I truly cannot take you as my mate.
08:54I cannot stand by and watch Chloe be thrown into the fire.
08:58Then what do you intend to do, Simus?
09:05Are you going to stop the ceremony?
09:08Whatever you're planning, don't.
09:11I'm sorry.
09:12I have to.
09:13He set the bowl aside and left without another word.
09:16Living this second life,
09:17I had finally seen the difference between me and Chloe with bone-deep clarity.
09:21How starkly obvious it truly was.
09:24There was nothing left in me now that could ache.
09:26Three days later, I would mate with the monster.
09:29You don't have to do this, daughter.
09:31I do, mother.
09:33This is the only way.
09:34Then at least let your father send an escort.
09:37No.
09:38It must be me.
09:39Alone.
09:40Alpha Case didn't come for me himself.
09:42He sent a war band of elite warriors armed to the teeth.
09:45It wasn't a mating escort.
09:47It was a hunting party.
09:49The carriage jolted violently.
09:51Steel screamed against Steel outside.
09:54Chloe, come with me now.
09:58Silas, what are you doing?
10:00Saving you.
10:01Hold on to me.
10:02Let me go.
10:04Don't fight me.
10:04I have this under control.
10:06His arm locked around my waist and ripped me from the carriage.
10:09The instant my feet hit the ground, a hundred silver-tipped arrows drew taut on us.
10:14The war band parted like a tide.
10:16Young Sterling, you mean to steal my mate?
10:19Alpha Case.
10:21Chloe doesn't want this yun.
10:23Release her.
10:23Is that so?
10:24Whether she wants it or not?
10:25I don't believe that's your call, pup.
10:27I'm not leaving without her.
10:28Then you'll die here.
10:30Chloe, don't be afraid.
10:32Say it out loud.
10:33Whatever comes after, I'll bear it.
10:35Simus.
10:36Say it.
10:36I'm right here.
10:37I raised my hand to the Crimson Veil and lifted it.
10:41Leah?
10:42Not Chloe, Simus.
10:43Me.
10:44What the hell?
10:47I am willing to mate with Alpha Case.
10:49Leah!
10:50Silas made a sound like I'd stabbed him.
10:52How can you say that?
10:53You know what he is!
10:56I know exactly what he is.
10:58I said quietly.
10:59Do you?
11:00Case's lips curved into a slow, dangerous smile.
11:03Come, bride.
11:04Let's not keep the guests waiting.
11:06He extended one clawed hand toward me.
11:09I placed my hand in his, feeling the controlled strength there.
11:13He pulled me close, lifting me onto his massive black stallion.
11:17I ended up in his lap, his arm like an iron band around my waist.
11:21He murmured against my ear, his breath hot.
11:25Comfortable?
11:26Not even a little.
11:27I admitted.
11:29He laughed.
11:30A sound like distant thunder.
11:33Good.
11:34Honesty is refreshing.
11:36You're welcome to attend the ceremony, Sterling.
11:39Watch me claim what's mine.
11:41He looked down at Silas, who was still kneeling in the dirt.
11:44Then we rode away, leaving Silas and his failed rescue behind.
11:49The Valerius estate was a fortress carved from black stone.
11:53Towers pierced the sky like claws, and gargoyles leered from every corner.
11:58It should have been terrifying.
12:00Instead, I felt a strange sense of coming home.
12:04Case carried me over the threshold himself.
12:07Eager?
12:08Strategic.
12:09If I put you down, you might bolt.
12:10He corrected.
12:11I gave my word.
12:12I don't bolt.
12:14We'll see.
12:14He set me down in a chamber that was clearly meant for me.
12:17Silk curtains, plush furs, a bed the size of a small battlefield.
12:22Rest.
12:23He commanded.
12:24The ceremony is in two hours.
12:26What if I don't want to rest?
12:29Then don't.
12:30But you'll need your strength for tonight.
12:32Heat flooded my cheeks, and he laughed again.
12:36Such an innocent reaction for someone who spent five years cursing her lover's bed.
12:40I looked away, embarrassed and angry.
12:43How do you know about that?
12:45I know everything about you, Leah Blackwood.
12:47He crossed to a desk, the ones I'd written to Silas during his training.
12:51How did you get those?
12:52Your messenger ravens were intercepted.
12:55A clerical error, really.
12:57I've been reading about you for months, little wolf.
13:00Your favorite foods, your fears, your dreams.
13:02That's why I sent the blood price.
13:04I wanted the girl who wrote these letters.
13:06I didn't know whether to be flattered or horrified.
13:08Those letters weren't for you.
13:10They are now.
13:11He said, simply.
13:12Just like you are.
13:13Before I could respond, he was gone, leaving me alone with my racing thoughts.
13:17The ceremony was held in the estate's great hall.
13:20Poor thing.
13:21She'll be dead within the month.
13:23I heard the last one jumped from the tower.
13:25No, she was pushed.
13:26By him.
13:28I could hear their whispers.
13:29I kept my head high, refusing to show weakness.
13:32Case was waiting for me at the altar, dressed in black and silver.
13:35When I reached him, he took my hand and pressed a kiss to my knuckle.
13:38Brave little wolf.
13:40The ceremony began.
13:41Traditional words about bonds and blood and forever.
13:45I repeated my vows mechanically, my mind elsewhere.
13:47Then I heard a commotion at the back of the hall.
13:50Stop!
13:50She can't marry you!
13:52This is becoming tiresome.
13:55Leah is mine, Sterling.
13:57Accept it.
13:57Not if she doesn't want to be!
14:00Tell him, Leah.
14:01Tell him you'd rather be with me.
14:03I look between them.
14:04Let go, Silen.
14:06No.
14:06I love you.
14:07I finally understand that I love you.
14:09You love the idea of me.
14:10You love what you can't have.
14:12That's not-
14:13Let her go, or I'll make you.
14:16She's made her choice, boy.
14:17Honor it.
14:19I turn back to Case, ignoring the tears threatening to fall.
14:22I'm ready to finish the ceremony.
14:24No.
14:25You're not.
14:27What are you doing?
14:29Taking my bride to bed.
14:30The ceremony can wait.
14:33This was really happening.
14:35I was about to become his in every way that mattered.
14:38Case carried me to his private chambers.
14:40He set me down carefully like I was something precious.
14:44You're shaking.
14:45I'm fine.
14:48Liar.
14:48He circled me slowly, a wolf appraising his prey.
14:51Tell me the truth, little wolf.
14:54Are you afraid of me?
14:56Yes, but not the way you think.
14:58Then how?
14:59I'm afraid of wanting this.
15:01Of wanting you.
15:03Good.
15:05Fear is honest.
15:07His fingers trace the line of my jaw, my throat, the curve of my shoulder.
15:11Last chance.
15:12Say the word, and I'll let you go.
15:14Where would I go?
15:15Anywhere.
15:17Back to the Blackwood estate.
15:18To Sterling, if you want him.
15:22I could never hold you here against your will, Liar.
15:24That's not who I am.
15:26I want to stay.
15:28Why?
15:30Because you read my letters and still wanted me.
15:33Because you gave me a choice when no one else would.
15:35Because I'm tired of loving someone who can't love me back.
15:38But I didn't say any of that.
15:46Still afraid?
15:48Terrified.
15:49Perfect.
15:51Then he showed me exactly what it meant to be claimed by an alpha.
15:55I woke to sunlight streaming through massive windows.
15:59My body ached in unfamiliar ways, and my skin was marked with bites and scratches.
16:03Evidence of a very thorough claiming.
16:09Morning, Luna.
16:11He said, his tone lazy and satisfied.
16:16Don't hide.
16:17I like looking at you.
16:21You're shameless.
16:23Absolutely.
16:30Does it hurt?
16:31A little.
16:33Good.
16:33That means you'll remember who you belong to.
16:37I should have been offended by his possessiveness.
16:40Instead, something warm unfurled in my chest.
16:44Alpha, there's a situation.
16:46What kind of situation?
16:48The sterling boy is at the gate.
16:50He says he won't leave until he speaks with Lady Lia.
16:53Tell him to go away.
16:55You heard her.
16:56She's busy being thoroughly deba-raged.
16:59Don't say that!
17:00Why not?
17:01It's true.
17:03He's causing quite a scene, Alpha.
17:05Should we remove him by force?
17:07Your call, little wolf.
17:08Want me to break his legs, or just scare him off?
17:11Let me talk to him.
17:12One last time.
17:13You're too kind.
17:14Bring him to the garden.
17:16Under guard.
17:16If he tries anything, kill him.
17:18I dressed quickly in a simple gown, wincing at the soreness in my muscles.
17:23I don't trust him.
17:24Neither do I.
17:25That's why you're here.
17:27Silas was waiting by the fountain, flanked by four Valerius guards.
17:31Lia.
17:32Thank the goddess.
17:36What do you want, Silas?
17:38He took a step forward, and the guards immediately drew their weapons.
17:41Easy.
17:43Let him speak.
17:45It'll be his last chance.
17:46I made a mistake.
17:48The biggest mistake of my life.
17:49You've made several.
17:50I know.
17:51But this is different.
17:52I remember everything now.
17:54How we were before the curse.
17:55How much I loved you, even if I was too stupid to admit it.
17:58Careful, Sterling.
17:59You're confessing love to another man's mate.
18:02She's not your mate.
18:03Not really.
18:04You forced this marriage.
18:05I gave her a choice.
18:07Something you never did.
18:08That hit home.
18:09I saw it in the way Silas flinched.
18:11Lia, please.
18:12Come home with me.
18:14I'll spend the rest of my life making this up to you.
18:16But I'd learned my lesson about Silas Sterling.
18:20No.
18:21No?
18:26I'm staying with Case.
18:28This is where I belong now.
18:29You don't mean that.
18:31He's a monster, Lia.
18:32Everyone knows what he's done.
18:35If I'm such a monster, why did she scream my name last night?
18:42If I'm such a monster, why did she scream my name last night?
18:46I turned bright red, mortified.
18:50You bastard!
18:55Lia is mine.
18:57My wife, my mate, my property by law and bond.
19:00If you come near her again, I will remove your head and mount it on my wall.
19:04Do we understand each other?
19:06Silas gasped for air.
19:08Let him go.
19:09Case glanced at me, then back at Silas.
19:11You're lucky she's merciful.
19:13Go home, Sterling.
19:15Forget about her.
19:15Or don't.
19:16I don't actually care.
19:17But if I see you on my sland again, you're dead.
19:21Get off me!
19:22When we were alone, Case turned to me.
19:25You're angry with me.
19:27You could have killed him.
19:28I could have.
19:29I didn't.
19:30You're welcome.
19:32You're impossible.
19:33Yes.
19:34But I'm yours.
19:36Don't leave me for him, little wolf.
19:38I'm not good at sharing.
19:40I won't.
19:41If you want to know me, come on, boy, just show me what it is I'm missing.
19:49And for the first time in a long time, I meant it.
19:53Three months passed in relative peace.
19:55Case was demanding, possessive, and utterly uncompromising.
19:59He was also surprisingly gentle, attentive to my needs in ways Silas had never been.
20:04I found myself falling into the rhythm of life as his mate.
20:07Then, one morning, everything shattered.
20:10I woke to find Case standing by the window.
20:13A letter in his hand.
20:14His expression was carved from ice.
20:23What's wrong?
20:25I asked, sitting up.
20:27He turned to me, his mismatched eyes blazing.
20:30How long have you been fucking Simus straffling?
20:33What?
20:34I haven't-
20:34Don't lie to me!
20:36I picked it up with shaking hands.
20:39This isn't real.
20:41Someone drew these.
20:43They're not real.
20:44They look pretty fucking real to me.
20:46Case, I swear to you, I haven't seen Simus in real life.
20:48Since that day in the garden.
20:50Then explain the drawings.
20:51His voice was deadly calm.
20:52I can't.
20:53Because I didn't do this!
20:55I warned you, Leah.
20:57I told you what would happen if you betrayed me.
21:00Terror and rage warred in my chest.
21:02You don't actually believe this, do you?
21:04For a long moment, he just stared at me.
21:06Get dressed.
21:07We're going to your father's estate.
21:08Why?
21:09Because we're going to find out who did this.
21:12And if I find proof you've been unfaithful, I will rain holy hell on everyone you've ever loved.
21:19His tone promised violence, but his eyes-
21:22His eyes held a clicker of doubt.
21:24He didn't want to believe it either.
21:26That gave me hope.
21:28We rode to the Blackwood estate in intense silence.
21:31Case was a coiled spring beside me, ready to explode at the slightest provocation.
21:36My father met us at the door, his expression worried.
21:40Leah?
21:41Alpha Case?
21:42What brings you here?
21:48Where did you get these?
21:50They were delivered to my estate this morning.
21:53Do you recognize the artist?
21:55Ah.
21:57The style.
21:59It's similar to Chloe's work.
22:01She used to draw constantly.
22:04Where is she?
22:05In her chambers, I think.
22:06Why would she-
22:07But I was already running.
22:13Going somewhere?
22:17Leah.
22:18I was just-
22:19Cut the shit, Chloe.
22:20You drew those pictures, didn't you?
22:24So what if I did?
22:25You deserve it after stealing Silas from me.
22:28I didn't steal anyone.
22:30He chose you.
22:31I gave him to you.
22:33By trapping yourself with that monster instead?
22:35How noble.
22:40That monster is my husband.
22:44And you just tried to get me killed.
22:47I-
22:49I just wanted you to hurt the way you hurt me.
22:51By accusing me of adultery?
22:53Do you have any idea what he could do to me for that?
22:55Oh, I have several ideas.
22:58Wanna hear them?
23:00I'm sorry.
23:02I didn't think-
23:03No, you didn't.
23:05You never do.
23:09Did you create those drawings?
23:13I just wanted her to know what it felt like.
23:16She gets everything.
23:17Your love, your attention.
23:19What do I have?
23:20Nothing.
23:20I'm nothing.
23:23You have nothing because you've earned nothing.
23:26We gave you our home, our love.
23:29And you repay us with lies and cruelty.
23:32Send her away.
23:33To the border territories where she can't hurt anyone else.
23:49She stays here.
23:51Under guard, under watch, but here.
23:54Why?
23:56Because you'll regret it if I send her away.
23:59She's still your sister, even if she's a venomous little snake.
24:02This way you can decide what happens to her when you're ready.
24:11Don't thank me yet.
24:13I'm still furious about the whole thing.
24:15I know.
24:16You can punish me later.
24:18Oh, I will.
24:21Two weeks after the incident with Chloe, I woke up violently ill.
24:30What's wrong?
24:33I don't know.
24:34Bad meat, maybe?
24:36But it happened again the next morning.
24:38And the next.
24:40Finally, Case summoned the pack physician.
24:43She examined me thoroughly, then smiled.
24:48Congratulations, Alpha.
24:50Your mate is with child.
24:53What?
24:54About six weeks along, I'd estimate.
24:57The pup is healthy and strong.
25:02A pup.
25:03We're having a pup.
25:05He looked at me like I'd just handed him the moon.
25:09Are you happy?
25:12Happy?
25:13Leah, I'm terrified.
25:16What if I'm like my father?
25:17What if I hurt it?
25:19Or you, or...
25:20You won't.
25:21You're nothing like him.
25:23How do you know?
25:25Because you're here, panicking about being a good father.
25:29That alone makes you better than him.
25:33I'm going to keep you safe.
25:34Both of you.
25:35Nothing will touch you while I draw breath.
25:39Case became impossibly more protective after learning about the pregnancy.
25:43He barely let me out of his sight, hovering like an anxious shadow.
25:49I can walk to the garden by myself.
25:53No.
25:55Case, I'm pregnant, not dying.
25:59Same thing to me.
26:01I rolled my eyes, but secretly, I loved his attention.
26:05After years of being ignored by Silas, Case's devotion was intoxicating.
26:09Then, one night, I was woken by a sharp pain in my stomach.
26:13I gasped, clutching my belly.
26:16Case was awake instantly.
26:17What's wrong?
26:18Is it the pup?
26:20I don't know.
26:21It hurts.
26:24He carried me to the physician himself, refusing to let anyone else touch me.
26:29The examination seemed to take hours.
26:31Doctor?
26:31The pup is fine.
26:32Just some cramping from growth.
26:33Perfectly normal.
26:35But Lady Leah needs to rest.
26:37No stress, no exertion.
26:38For how long?
26:40At least a month.
26:41Maybe more.
26:42I groaned, already imagining Case's reaction.
26:45He didn't disappoint.
26:47A month?
26:48She's confined to bed for a month?
26:52At minimum...
26:53Case looked at me, his expression feared.
26:56Then that's what we'll do.
26:58True to his word, he took a full month away from his duties.
27:01He spent every day with me, reading to me, talking to me, just being present.
27:06It was the happiest month of my life.
27:09At eight months pregnant, I was enormous and uncomfortable.
27:13You're glowing.
27:14He said one morning.
27:15I'm sweating.
27:17It's not the same thing.
27:18He laughed, pressing a kiss to my stomach.
27:21The pup kicked in response.
27:22She knows my voice.
27:24How do you know it's a she?
27:27Father's intuition.
27:28That night was the full moon gathering.
27:30You can't avoid your duties because I'm pregnant.
27:32Case didn't want to go, but I insisted.
27:35Case.
27:36Go.
27:38I'll be fine for a few hours.
27:40A mandatory event for all pack alphas.
27:42Reluctantly, he agreed, but he left me surrounded by guards with strict orders to summon him if
27:48anything happened.
27:49I settled in with a book, enjoying the rare moment of solitude.
27:52Then I heard a commotion in the hallway.
27:55Voices raised in anger, the sound of a scuffle.
27:58Before I could call for help, my chamber door broke the door.
28:02Silas was there, wild-eyed and desperate.
28:04Leah, thank the goddess.
28:07We have to go now.
28:08I stared at Silas.
28:10How did you get in here?
28:11I bribed a guard.
28:12Doesn't matter.
28:12Leah, you're in danger.
28:13From what?
28:14From him.
28:15Don't you see?
28:16He's going to kill you just like he killed the others.
28:18I laughed.
28:19Simus, I'm eight months pregnant with his child.
28:21If he wanted me dead, he's had plenty of opportunities.
28:23No, you don't understand.
28:24The full moon gathering, it's a trap.
28:28While he's gone, assassins are coming for you.
28:31To destroy his bloodline.
28:33That gave me pause.
28:35How do you know this?
28:37I have sources in the pack.
28:39People who hate him as much as I do.
28:44He reached for me, but I backed away.
28:47Come with me.
28:50Don't touch me.
28:52Leah, please.
28:53I know you don't trust me, but I'm trying to save your life.
28:56At that moment, one of the guards appeared behind Silas.
28:59My lady, should we...
29:01Silas spun, drawing the blade and slashing the guard's throat in one smooth motion.
29:07I'm sorry.
29:08He advanced on me.
29:09But you're not leaving me a choice.
29:11And I realized with horror what he intended.
29:13You're going to kill me yourself, aren't you?
29:15No.
29:17Never.
29:18His expression crumbled.
29:19But I will take you away from here.
29:21Even if I have to drag you.
29:23Before he could reach me, a massive black wolf crashed through the window.
29:27Get.
29:28Away.
29:30From.
29:31My mate.
29:32My friend.
29:32My son.
