Short filmTranscript
00:02I was born with heavy breasts and lush curves my half-sister Chloe was afraid her
00:07mate Brad would go feral over me so she sold me to an impotent alpha she patted
00:13my shoulder who knows maybe he's good at other things three months later I was
00:21begging for mercy every night funny he seemed good at everything
00:28case valerius the blackwood packs alpha the lycan king's most trusted war commander he was carried
00:33back from the battlefield soaked in blood someone suggested a mate bond shares life force if alpha
00:40case was bound to a living healthy mate her strength could flow into him and pull him back
00:45Chloe rushed to play matchmaker and presented me to Martha before I could object I had no way to
00:49refuse if I wouldn't agree she'd transfer me to serve 60 year old elder Kevin I knew she resented
00:55my history with her mate I dropped to my knees and swore to the moon goddess I swear Chloe I
01:02had
01:02no feelings for Brad Chloe jabbed a finger at my forehead fury in her eyes what good is a vow
01:08do
01:08you have any idea how distracting you are I hunched my shoulders tears slid down on my cheeks just look
01:15at that ample body and those charming curves parading your body in front of every male in the clan who
01:20among them would not lose their minds at the smell of you I wanted to tell her to bind my
01:26chest I'd
01:26wrapped myself layer after layer in the sweltering heat until I broke out in a rash her expression
01:31softened she wiped my tears it's not that I don't trust you it's that I don't trust males do you
01:39know
01:39how powerful alpha cases if my mother and Martha weren't old friends you wouldn't even have this
01:45opportunity Chloe I don't want to be anyone's offering I'd rather scrub kitchen floors just don't
01:52make me two sharp slaps landed across my face my cheek burned Leah are you out of your mind if
02:00I
02:01hadn't vouched for you Martha wouldn't have given you a second glance you wouldn't even be worthy of
02:06being case's mate the maid burst in breathless miss Chloe word from the valerius estate alpha case has
02:13woken up Chloe dragged me straight to valerius estate enormous I followed her through the main
02:19hall to a set of heavy double doors pulled half shut through the gap I could make out a man's
02:24shape
02:24in the bed thin motionless chest rattling with shallow coughs every few minutes Martha stood on
02:29our side eyes red thank you for everything you've done for case I won't destroy a girl's future over
02:35Chloe's eyes moved quick and calculating as valerius the bond should still be completed
02:40Leah arrived the same day case woke up that's the moon goddess guiding us seal the bond properly
02:46her life force will keep pulling him back toward health before she could speak the healer Ella
02:51stepped out expression tight alpha case has regained consciousness but an arrow struck his inner thigh
02:57during battle I'm afraid he will no longer be able to unable to do what he will no longer be
03:04able
03:05to get hard Martha's knees gave out I caught her before she hit the floor she looked up at me
03:10with
03:10hollowed eyes Leah knowing this are you still willing yes she's been looking forward to it Chloe was
03:18already answering for me of course she is she's just an omega with no prospects she should be grateful
03:24I didn't speak right away my mind went to my past there was a young wolf in the poor quarter
03:30behind
03:30our estate I first saw him through the fence gaps thin wrists hollow cheeks hunched over a cracked
03:36bowl with nothing in it I started passing food through the gaps bread first then soup then whatever
03:42I had day after day I watched him change the hollows in his cheeks filled out his shoulders broadened he
03:50started training before dawn running laps around the back wall while I was still half asleep he was going
03:55to enter the warrior trials I knew it before he told me when he passed I went to find him
04:00that same
04:01night I was happy I remember it clearly I was genuinely happy I knocked on the gate he didn't open
04:06it his
04:06voice came Leah I'm betrothed now it wouldn't be proper then a soft thud in the dirt at my feet
04:11a pouch of silver consider my debt repaid I stood there for a moment then I picked it up and
04:16walked away
04:17that wolf became Chloe's mate Brad I acted like I'd never known him Chloe found out anyway I snapped
04:24back to reality I gathered my skirts and knelt in front of Martha my lady I'm willing I'll complete
04:31the bond care for case and serve you as long as you need me Luna Martha kept her word and
04:38prepared a
04:38dignified mating dress for me Chloe deliberately chose a day when Brad was away on pack business to send me
04:43off she walked me to the door guilt on her face even though case can't get hard at least you'll
04:49be
04:49spared the pain of bearing pups don't worry an alpha who can't perform in that area is probably
04:55exceptional in every other honestly none of what Chloe said had even crossed my mind I told myself
05:01I was simply moving to a new household case was too weak to stand through the full mate blessing
05:06ritual I completed the bond rites beside his ceremonial sword instead Martha watched from the front
05:13eyes wet the whole time when it was done I was alpha cases mate the mating chamber was quiet I
05:20pushed
05:21the door open carefully case was already inside half reclined against the headboard in a white bathrobe
05:27he turned when he heard me up close he was strikingly handsome sharp jaw dark eyes the kind of face
05:34that
05:34didn't need color in it to hold attention I had no intention of taking a mate he said with a
05:39low voice
05:40if it doesn't trouble you we can treat this as a sibling arrangement he pointed to the chaise along the
05:46far
05:46wall tonight the bed is yours I'll take that tomorrow you move to the guest quarters all right I nodded
05:54he
05:55had thought of everything it wasn't what I'd expected before the ritual one of the older maids had pulled me
06:00aside and pressed something into my hands a small handbook worn at the corners she'd whispered with a
06:07strange look there are other ways between mates you might find it useful I had no idea what she meant
06:13until I opened it heat pooled in my core just from looking at the pages is it too hot case
06:20was watching
06:20me from the bed eyes direct unblinking the dress is heavy I'm a little warm then wash up and rest
06:29he pulled
06:30the blanket over himself and turned toward the wall within minutes his breathing evened out I set the
06:35handbook down on the vanity and took down my hair then the layered robes piece by piece until I was
06:41standing in nothing but my nightgown I turned to the mirror the thin fabric clung to every curve
06:47heavy breasts straining against the cloth slim waist giving way to the flare of my hips I walked
06:53straight into case's gaze he wasn't asleep his chest rose hard the tips of his ears went red his
06:59throat worked as he swallowed I grabbed my outer robe and pressed it against my chest alpha I thought
07:06you were asleep a long pause I could sleep later my breath hitched he rose slowly to his feet his
07:15tall
07:15frame casting a shadow over me the handbook's images came flooding in my breathing shifted without
07:30me meaning it to somehow falling into the same rhythm as his then case turned and walked to the door
07:36the
07:36moment cool night air rushed in I snapped back to my senses he'd already disappeared into the darkness
07:42I turned it over in my mind when he'd looked at me just now his eyes had flashed with something
07:48unmistakably like shock had my figure actually frightened him before I lay down I made a firm decision
07:55tomorrow morning I was binding my chest at least one full loop tighter I was hovering somewhere between
08:01sleep and waking when case slipped back in the tips of his hair still beaded with water he'd apparently gone
08:06to
08:06shower by morning he was already gone ivy came in to help me dress from the corridor outside came the
08:13sound of a man once then again Martha's headmaid's voice carried clearly through the door alpha case
08:21why didn't you call someone to heat the water it's already summer but the nights are still cold
08:26of course you've caught a chill I'll go brew tea right now I glanced at ivy does the alpha usually
08:32take
08:33cold showers I honestly don't know miss I dismissed her and locked the door I wound a strip of cloth
08:39tight over my undergarments then pulled on the most conservative dress I could find in the wardrobe
08:44high neck loose cut heavy fabric then I went to living room case was already there when I arrived
08:51seated beside Martha she lit up the moment she saw me her whole face warm with welcome until case coughed
08:58and the warmth vanished instantly cage I have a few private words for Leah go rest for a while case
09:06rose and left without a word Martha waved me over and took both my hands in hers eyes glistening
09:13sweet girl our case is lucky to have you
09:19the pack healer says the injury drained his life force there's no telling how long he has left
09:25some of the elders suggested I find a child for him to adopt to carry on the bloodline
09:32but if I did that wouldn't I be stealing your whole future from you I'm already grateful you
09:39came into this family to save case I can't let you sacrifice the rest of your life on top of
09:44that
09:44I've thought it through if case's time does come I'll have him issue you a formal mate release
09:49your future stays protected and I'll see to it that you receive property and a place of your own
09:55I reached up and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes chest tight with an ache I couldn't
10:00name
10:00Mrs. Valerius thank you for looking out for me I'd come here thinking of myself as nothing more than
10:06a transferred omega servant I never imagined she would think this far ahead on my behalf my thoughts
10:11drifted to the mother I had never known if she had been alive if I had grown up under a
10:15mother's
10:16protection I never would have ended up in any of the situations I'd been through Martha laughed
10:21through her tears look at me I've gone and made you cry too she squeezed my hands Leah there's no
10:27need to be so formal call me mom just like case does she took a breath so I have a
10:33proposition for
10:34you Chloe mentioned you know how to prepare medicinal soups I'd like you to take over cases daily meals and
10:40care I just want him to live a little longer that's my one selfish wish by the end her voice
10:45had gone
10:45rough I nodded I headed to the kitchen to gather ingredients the last time I'd prepared medicinal
10:51soup was several years ago back when Brad was not yet Chloe's mate he'd lost both parents and lived
10:56alone in a rundown unit skipping meals to save every cent for his warrior training one day I found him
11:03collapsed at our back gate and brought him around out of sympathy I dug through my mother's old healer
11:08journals and prepared medicinal meals for him every day to rebuild his strength only the two of us ever knew
11:14about it from the looks of things he was the one who told Chloe just to get me driven out
11:20the lengths
11:21he had gone to were truly something I carried the steaming soup to the bedroom and found case directing
11:26servants to pack up his belongings alpha what's this about weren't we agreed that I was moving the
11:33guest room his sharply handsome face didn't shift so much as a fraction I have fewer things it makes
11:39more sense for me to move at least eat first I set the food on the table he gave it
11:44a brief glance and
11:45sat down you can leave this kind of thing to the maid from now on it's no different coming from
11:52me
11:54it is different his voice remained flat and cool have ivy bring it from now on he finished the soup
12:01in a few
12:02quick swallows said a few words to the servants and swept past me in that moment I confirmed one
12:08thing alpha case couldn't stand the sight of me I followed his instructions and had ivy deliver his
12:14daily healing meals to the study from then on Martha couldn't stop singing my praises the pack healer says
12:20cases condition has stabilized significantly I can see the color coming back to his face Leah that's
12:26entirely because of you delighted she pressed a gold bracelet into my hands back in my room I tucked
12:33it into my jewelry box which had been slowly filling with pieces Martha had gifted me since my arrival
12:38Leah you never wear any of the of these isn't it a waste to just put them away how is
12:44it a waste every
12:45one of these can be converted to cash that's my security fund but lady Martha gave these to you
12:50personally are you really going to sell all of them not right now but if the mate bond is ever
12:56severed
12:56naturally I'd sell them and keep the money on hand ivy's expression shifted to pure bewilderment
13:02as she turned away she dropped her voice to a murmur alpha alpha I spun around and met a pair
13:11of
13:11ink dark eyes Martha's eyesight must truly be failing her case looked worse than ever case's face was even
13:18paler than before his gaze was sharp and cutting fixed on me with cold precision the look unsettled me
13:25completely but I didn't dare let a single trace of a show alpha is there something you need a journal
13:33we looked together I checked the shelves he checked the writing desk neither of us spoke I spotted the
13:39journal pushed to the very back of the top shelf behind a row of my mother's medical notes I reached
13:44up on my toes my fingertips just grazed the cover case's hand came over mine warm steady he reached past
13:52me
13:53without effort and closed his hand around the journal I turned my head his face was right there closer than
13:59I'd realized he was looking down at me then I lost my footing and pitched straight into him my heavy
14:06breasts hit his chest first my waist went straight into his palm his hand catching me before he could
14:11react case didn't step back his ear tips went red his throat worked as he swallowed when he exhaled the
14:19breath came out uneven against the top of my head his eyes flashed gold for a second then green
14:25I scrambled upright face burning your journal he took it without a word and walked out perfect
14:32my standing in his eyes had just sunk even lower after that day I made every effort to avoid crossing
14:38paths with case he was injured and recovering he needed to stay calm but there was one more thing
14:43bothering me Brad had been sending notes three times already I hadn't opened a single one just
14:49dropped them in a box then Ivy pressed one into my hand that morning it's not just a note this
14:53time
14:54he's here side entrance says he won't leave until you come out I clenched my fist and walked out I
14:59didn't notice the figure that followed from the far end of the courtyard Brad was standing at the gate
15:09he paused dropped his voice Mrs. Valerius do you have any idea how many times you've put me in an
15:16impossible
15:16position with these meetings I know I just wanted to tell you I'll be securing more power in the pack
15:24soon I won't need Chloe's father backing me anymore he stepped closer I'll buy a house Leah come with me
15:31anything's better than staying with a dying man he reached for me I stepped back you want me as
15:38your mistress Brad nodded completely serious I laughed why would I give up being the alpha's mate
15:44to be your mistress the whole pack knows case is dying he won't last and he can't even stand up
15:52anymore his eyes dropped deliberately to my chest isn't that a waste disgust surged through me Brad
16:01I will never be anyone's mistress case fought on the front lines for this pack those injuries are
16:07his honor you've benefited from every battle he won and you're standing here calling him less of a man
16:15you're the one who's less come near me again and every note you've sent goes straight to Chloe
16:22how do you think that ends for you his face went white I swung the gate shut I turned around
16:29and
16:30came face to face with case white t-shirt standing less than half a foot away his full height bearing
16:34down on me alpha I managed a faint edge flickered across his expression wasn't it my mate just a
16:40moment ago why so formal all of a sudden I looked down and started walking please don't misunderstand
16:48as long as I'm in this estate I honor this bond completely fast it's getting late I should go
16:53make your evening meal I moved to step past him his hand closed around my arm I lost my footing
16:58and
16:59pitched straight into him my heavy breasts against his chest my waist caught in his grip I looked up
17:04his face was inches from mine his eyes were deep and unreadable one tilt forward and our lips would
17:10have touched his breath hit my face warm my breath hitched heat pooled low in my core case swallowed
17:19hard as long as I remain in this estate each word slow deliberate you counting down the days until you
17:26can leave I couldn't exactly tell him I'll leave the day you die no nothing like that I shifted in
17:33his
17:33grip alpha you're hurting my arm did you mean every word you said just now I blinked and asked which
17:40part he let out a quiet breath and released me I bolted and I noticed for the first time his
17:48face
17:48had actual color in it his cheeks were just as red as mine that night I had a strange dream
17:54case's lips
17:55grazed slowly along my cheek his fingers hooked into the strap of my slip voice dropping to a low murmur
18:02does my Luna want this I nodded like someone completely under a spell then a fierce consuming
18:09kiss caught my lips and wouldn't let go I jolted awake in a tangle of sheets heart still hammering
18:15breathless Ivy knocked and came in I asked her to bring a basin of cold water she stared at my
18:21sweat
18:21damp hair and murmured it really is getting hotter I splashed cold water onto my face and then it hit
18:28me
18:28that first night case cold shower surely he hadn't also been no impossible he was injured and
18:37recovering he was supposed to be keeping himself calm at midday Martha's attendant arrived Martha
18:42would like dinner in the garden tonight she asks that you be sure to come been making excuses to avoid
18:48the main dining hall for days just to steer clear of case but Martha had gone out of her way
18:52to
18:53personally extend the invitation I couldn't say no I stepped into the garden a sprawling rose of
18:58Sharon was in full bloom a gust of wind shook loose a handful of deep crimson petals drifting down onto
19:04the stone table covered with every dish I loved most Martha smiled and gestured for me to sit
19:10case mentioned it's your birthday today he's the one who asked the kitchen to prepare all of this
19:15I looked up and met a pair of burning intent eyes heat rushed straight to my face case lit a
19:22plate
19:22of chestnut cake in front of me without changing his expression how did you know today was my
19:27birthday I'd completely forgotten it myself my birth mother died bringing me into the world no one
19:34had ever once marked the day for me case kept his eyes lowered and said evenly it's not difficult to
19:40know it something in my chest gave one quiet inexplicable pull Leah this peach blossom wine is
19:48from my private reserve I'm opening it just for you but you two had better not drink too much she
19:54pushed back her chair said the summer evening breeze was too much for her old bones and left the garden
20:00went quiet to avoid the silence I put my head down and drank one cup then another then another
20:07the wine was sweet and dangerously potent before long the edges of everything had gone soft and
20:13blurry case watched me but said nothing by the third glass I'd stopped feeling the awkward silence
20:19by the fourth I'd stopped feeling much of anything I reached across the table toward the last piece of
20:25chestnut cake the dish was empty I looked up where's the last piece I ate it I have absolutely no
20:33idea
20:33where the boldness came from I leaned straight toward his face who told you to eat that spit it back
20:41out
20:41I pressed against his chest trying to peer into his mouth case looked down at me perfectly calm
20:47you won't find it that way I straightened up and stared at him then how am I supposed to find
20:52it
20:52a faint flush crept across his cheeks try using your mouse my gaze drifted to his slightly reddened lips
21:00I swallowed once and kissed him without hesitation case went rigid his breathing lurching unsteady
21:07then control shifted his hand cupped the back of my head and he pressed in deeper harder neither of
21:14us pulled away until footsteps sounded from behind the flower bed alpha the night air is cool lady
21:21Martha asked me to bring you both a wrap I had no idea how much ivy'd seen I shot to
21:27my feet and the
21:28next instant the world tilted everything went dark when I woke up with a splitting headache it was already
21:36morning I suddenly remembered I'd promised Martha to visit case's father's grave it was late I started
21:44rushing around for my things Leah don't worry the driver is still getting the car ready
21:52ivy was it you who brought me back last night no the alpha carried you back I spun around to
22:00check her
22:00face she nodded completely serious I didn't say anything stupid did I ivy bit back a smile
22:09the alpha set you down on the bed and you grabbed his sleeve and wouldn't let go you kept calling
22:15him
22:16my mate over and over until his whole face went red ivy don't you dare make things up she covered
22:25her
22:25mouth laughing and ran out I met Martha at the front entrance case's father's grave was on a hillside just
22:33beyond the pack territory I sat in the back of the car completely distracted replaying the moment
22:40I'd kissed case last night Martha must have misread my expression because she said Leah is there someone
22:47you have feelings for I've noticed you've been avoiding case these past few days please don't be
22:57upset with me for pushing you two together at dinner last night I thought if the two of you couldn't
23:02be
23:02mates you could at least be friends but if you're uncomfortable or if you want to leave just say
23:08I'll have him sever the bond I won't let you be trapped here mom no it's not that I was
23:15thinking
23:15about something else what is it I was still figuring out how to answer when the car lurched the engine
23:20screamed the car swung hard tires off the road crashing through brush the whole frame shaking I grabbed
23:26Martha and looked at the driver slumped over the wheel unconscious no one to hit the brakes
23:32a cliff straight ahead Martha grabbed my arm Leah what do we do we jump now we'll be hurt
23:40we'll die if we don't hold on to me I wrapped myself around her and we threw ourselves clear
23:45the instant the wheels left solid ground we hit the cliff edge and went over my hand shot out and
23:50caught a root jutting from the rock face my other hand locked around Martha's wrist below her was a
23:55straight drop into nothing mom don't look down don't look down hold on to me Ivy and the others are
24:03right behind us behind us in the second car they'll be here soon the root ground under our weight
24:10Martha's voice broke Leah let me go we're too heavy it's going to snap
24:22I'm old I've lived my life you have to keep living yours my chest tightened so hard I could barely
24:32breathe I couldn't let go she'd been a mother to me from the first day
24:39mom I would rather die with you than watch you fall hold on
24:48they're coming the truth was I had no idea my arms were going numb the pain had gone so deep
24:56it had
24:57stopped feeling like pain at all then I heard it a wolf's howl split the air deafening and close
25:08Leah don't move I'm coming down case's voice he'd called me by my name the first time a strong arm
25:18came under me he'd climbed down the cliff face wolf claws dug into the rock he untied the rope from
25:26his
25:26own body and looped it around my waist then climbed down further and did the same for Martha the people
25:34above pulled together we came up one at a time it wasn't a hallucination case had saved
25:41us he held me brow creased why is there so much blood Martha clutched her face she shielded me when
25:52we
25:53jumped I didn't get a scratch it's all hers my eyelids felt like lead Leah don't sleep I'm taking
26:05you to Ella he lifted me into the car and I stayed curled against his chest his forehead was damp
26:11with
26:12sweat he kept one hand on the wheel and kept talking Leah Leah Leah stay awake I'll get you
26:20chestnut cake I'll give you all the jewelry you want to sell you don't have to wait for me to
26:25die
26:25I'll write the bond release today you can leave whenever you want my chest kept clenching something
26:32wet hit my face I looked up at the sky through the windshield it wasn't raining then everything went
26:38black when I opened my eyes every part of my body felt like it had been taken apart and put
26:43back
26:43wrong my Luna the pack healer said you can't move yet Ivy pressed a bowl of medicine to my lips
26:49spooning it in slowly you're lucky nothing's broken her voice was steady but her eyes were red
26:55the scrapes were bad you need to stay flat or they'll scar your shoulder was dislocated too she kept
27:01talking my eyes had already drifted to the door after I finished the medicine I asked where's case
27:07investigating someone poisoned the driver with wolf bite and cut the brake lines it was deliberate who
27:12would be bold enough to target the alpha's family directly I was flat on my back for a full month
27:17I didn't see case once Martha kept her door shut too still recovering from the shock everyone in the
27:23estate moved with tight faces and clipped voices like something was being held just below the surface
27:28I asked Ivy she said nothing was wrong today I was finally cleared to get out of bed
27:33I opened my door and walked straight into a familiar figure case dark tactical shirt sharper
27:40than I remembered he held out a small wooden box I took it and lifted the lid a land deed
27:45a property
27:46contract a severance letter my body went rigid something locked around my chest and wouldn't
27:52let go case are you throwing me out you've been waiting for this since the day you arrived
27:58you avoided me stayed out of my way you never wanted anything to do with me you were counting down
28:03the
28:03days until I died so you could walk out cleanly I'm just doing it early Leah go after today we're
28:10finished something sharp flooded my chest my mouth opened and closed it took a long time to get
28:17anything out so that's what you think of me leave now I don't want to see you anymore case disappeared
28:27around the corner of the yard estate guards all but pushed me out the door Ivy fell in to step
28:32beside me
28:32and the alpha said you're used to having me around he told me to go with you
28:38I couldn't speak
28:43we moved into a small house on the edge of the territory
28:46by morning the pack's official announcement had gone up the announcement said case had betrayed the
28:52pack the announcement said he had betrayed the pack that he had leaked the border patrol routes to
28:56rogue faction by order of the lichen king royal enforcers had been dispatched to see
29:02him pending investigation case was being held in the dungeons under royal guard the estate was locked
29:09down everyone inside was under scrutiny case would never betray his pack he would die before he did
29:17something like that he rushed to get me out that was why that was the only reason Ivy was pacing
29:23circles
29:24around the living room she'd grown up inside the estate she couldn't stand still is there anything we can do
29:31I made myself sit down and think years ago elder Reed's youngest child had gotten lost in the forest and
29:38been bitten by a snake I'd found him and used the right herbs to treat the wound
29:43elder Reed had arrived while I was still crouched over the boy
29:46he'd seen my face I was sure he hadn't forgotten
29:50I tracked him down outside the council building and stepped into elder Reed you remember me I need a
29:56favor he looked at me for a long moment then he nodded elder Reed led me into the dungeon 30
30:02minutes
30:03no more the door on the case stood up his eyes flashed with surprise how did you get in my
30:09chest ached as
30:10I looked at him through the blur of tears that's why you kicked me out isn't it you were framed
30:16think carefully is there any evidence to prove your innocence I will find it I will investigate
30:21I swear I will rescue you case's gaze deepened then his arm shot out and pulled me into his chest
30:27Leah
30:29my heart hammered but time was running out this wasn't the moment I pushed against him he didn't
30:35budge Leah you don't need to do anything I can't say much
30:40I promise seven days later I will accompany you to watch the sunrise okay his eyes were steady
30:48certain like he was coaxing a frightened pup I walked out of the dungeon and straight into Brad
30:58he stepped into my path slow smile spreading across it's not too late to reconsider
31:04being my mistress beats being alone and disgraced I swung my hand and slapped him across the face
31:10he lunged for me I stepped sideways and put distance between us try that again and every note you sent
31:15me ends up in front of Chloe's father every single one you've been whispering in her ear
31:19for years haven't you trying to get me pushed out thinking I'd have nowhere to go and no choice
31:23but to run to you but you never counted on Chloe handing me straight to case a man you can't
31:28touch
31:28his face changed I didn't wait for him to recover I walked away and didn't look back
31:33a wolf like that the further the better I didn't sleep well for the next five days
31:38case's voice kept coming back to me I promise seven days later I will accompany you to watch
31:43the sunrise okay on the afternoon of the sixth day the lichen king's official decree went up across
31:49the territory the leak hadn't come from case it had come from prince marcus and his allies
31:54the truth is finally revealed the lichen king had not yet named his heir both prince caden and prince
32:02marcus were in the running case was prince caden's most powerful ally the alpha who commanded the most
32:07powerful pack taking case down was the cleanest way to clear the path to the throne prince marcus
32:12had planted a spy inside the blackwood pack used him to steal the border patrol routes then framed case
32:17for it so the injury had been faked all of it a deliberate trap to draw out the spy but
32:22why fake
32:22being unable to mate I turned that over in my mind all night and couldn't land on an answer dawn
32:27was
32:28just breaking when someone knocked at the door I didn't think I just ran I threw the door open and
32:32walked straight into case's chest he went completely still then his arms came around me slow and
32:37deliberate and pulled me in hard I'd run out in nothing but a thin sleep shirt no warning through
32:43the thin fabric I could feel everything the hard muscle of his chest his arms locked tight around me
32:48I pressed my hands against his chest and tried to step back leah his voice dropped low I'm back
32:54our eyes locked the heat between us was thick enough to touch then he lifted me off the ground
32:59and carried me straight toward the bedroom I beat a fist against his chest weren't we supposed to watch
33:04the sunrise you first sunrise after we fell onto the bed together case pinned me beneath him one hand
33:16working the buttons of my sleep shirt open eyes never leaving mine I covered his eyes with both hands
33:21don't look it's embarrassing he took my hands down his breathing had gone ragged it's beautiful
33:29his eyes were bright and fixed my skin went hot everywhere he touched I pressed my palm flat
33:35against his chest hard muscle warm skin healer said you couldn't get hard how is any of this possible
33:41lips dragging slowly along my jaw to my ear you want to know if I can there's one way to
33:46find out
33:46he kissed me one hand cupping my face tilting it up toward him I kissed him back hard my hand
33:53slid up
33:53his chest over his shoulders gripping his arms he pressed me further into the mattress his weight
34:00settling over me the heat built fast and took over completely my hands went slack he caught them
34:06laced his fingers through mine and pinned them above my head he loves me very much and completely occupies
34:13me my face gradually became rosy and we could only hear each other's heartbeats and breathing
34:19his lips dragged from my mouth to my jaw down the side of my neck slow and unhurried
34:25and he stopped his canines pierced my mating gland a second of sharp white hot pain and then it was
34:32done I lay there chest heaving fingers still tangled in his on my neck his mark ached finally we weren't
34:40just mates on paper anymore after the estate lockdown was lifted case took me to meet Prince Kaden a slow
34:47smile spreading across his face so you're the woman who brought case to his knees I've been wanting
34:52to meet you you flatter me your highness case helped the kingdom take down a real threat you stood by
34:58him
34:58through all of it I'll host an official Luna ceremony for you and when that day comes I'll have a
35:03gift
35:03ready thank you your highness don't blame case Leah faking the injury was always part of the plan
35:13too many enemies wanted him dead the only way to keep him safe was to make them think he was
35:17already
35:18finished part about not being able to get hard that was my idea I gave the pack doctor that order
35:24myself
35:26we grew up together I know exactly how he is never any interest in women never any weakness I figured
35:33it
35:33was time someone did something about that suddenly I understood just two old friends and one very
35:39elaborate prank the car accident that was Prince Marcus as well they intended it to look like an
35:45accident they didn't expect to hurt you in the process Luna Leah it's been dealt with you and case
35:51are safe now I took a slow breath knowing it was over didn't make the memory of dangling off that
36:00cliff
36:00any less vivid we got back to the estate to find Chloe already inside crying she walked an hour ago
36:06and
36:06hasn't stopped Martha is getting a headache from it I told case to go to his study I'd handle it
36:12I sat
36:13down next to Chloe face red eyes swollen word had already spread Brad had been identified as one of
36:19Prince Marcus's informants Chloe's father had been cleared but Chloe and Brad were finished still crying
36:27I'll have someone throw you out she stopped immediately still shaking but quiet I misjudged him I thought picking
36:34someone from a lower ranked family meant he'd be easy to manage I didn't think he'd be like this I
36:41told you he wasn't a good person you didn't say it clearly enough I rolled my eyes I wasn't a
36:47powerless
36:47Omega anymore I didn't have to hold back were you ever angry at me for how I treated you back
36:57then
36:59no I cursed you in my head but I don't hold grudges you cursed me do you want to punish
37:05me for it
37:06Chloe laughed despite herself then caught herself and pressed her lips together I'm sorry for the slap
37:11did it hurt I already forgot about it then let me slap you back we'll be even she closed her
37:16eyes and
37:17braced herself I raised my hand and let it land soft against her cheek she opened her eyes
37:26I already gave that slap to Brad Chloe stared at me for a second then she laughed really laughed for
37:31the first time since she'd walked in don't call me Chloe anymore can we be friends no I don't like
37:39friends who cry too much the light was still on when I passed case study I pushed the door open
37:44before I
37:45could say a word an arm shot out from behind and wrapped around my waist bold intruder his voice dropped
37:50low against my ear you think you can just walk into the alpha's office the alpha's mate is right
37:56here and you still dare make a move case played it straight his lips found my neck here really
38:04right here I kept saying no my hand said something else entirely finding their way to his back he
38:10murmured against my ear you have no idea how many times I thought about this in this room
38:16I wanted to say something back but his hand was already moving and I couldn't get a single word
38:20out he carried me to the table and took off my clothes then we had a good time
38:32when I woke up it was almost dawn case was already awake sitting up against the headboard watching me
38:38his eyes were soft in a way that made it hard to look back
38:40morning I sat up and rubbed my eyes then I remembered the sunrise he'd promised the sunrise
38:51we still have time he was already up he picked up my clothes from beside the bed handing them to
38:57me
38:57he dressed me slowly straightening each layer with both hands like he'd done it a thousand times before
39:02we walked out into the yard cool air the smell of pine to the east the sky had just started
39:08to lighten
39:09at the edges case stood behind me and wrapped both arms around me we watched the horizon together
39:13the sun came up slowly gold light broke across the trees spread across the yard and landed on us
39:20the clouds caught the color and held it beautiful close to my ear beautiful he pulled me in tighter
39:28and said nothing else he didn't need to
39:32i'll watch every sunrise and sunset with his voice was quiet against my hair everyone
39:36for as long as we have i turned around and kissed him once quick and light
39:43deal the sun came up fully in the yard filled with light our shadows stretched
39:47long across the ground behind us over the next few days the estate came back to life
39:52servants moved through the halls with easy steps again martha's health improved she called me in to
39:57talk every morning always smiling when i walked through the door one afternoon i was trimming the
40:02plants in the yard when sunny came running over leah chloe is here again she brought a lot of stuff
40:07with
40:08her i set down my shears since the day she'd come in crying chloe had been showing up regularly
40:13she said she was making up for lost time really she just had nothing to do and nowhere to be
40:19let her in i wiped my hands and went to meet her chloe walked in with two attendants behind her
40:26carrying food boxes she changed a lot less restless she dressed simpler now and moved quieter
40:40i made your favorite chestnut cake i asked the royal kitchen for the recipe this time
40:46better than anything the blackwood kitchen has ever made i took a piece and bit into it sweet soft
40:52better than i expected good thank you so where's case not home he went to the pack training ground
41:02something came up chloe nodded and reached for a piece herself for a while neither of us said
41:07anything just the wind moving through the yard my father wants me to find a new mate i looked up
41:13don't rush for it i know
41:18after brad i don't know how to trust anyone she looked at me something flickering in her eyes
41:23you have a good mate case fights for you protects you and he's the strongest alpha in the kingdom
41:30we just got lucky you can't force these things chloe nodded and didn't say anything else just ate her
41:36chestnut cake the yard went quiet just wind moving through the leaves then she said that slap do you
41:45really not hold it against me really it's in the past no point bringing it up the truth was i'd
41:52already
41:52let it go a long time ago she wasn't a bad person just spoiled used to getting her way chloe's
41:59eyes went red
41:59at the edges thank you when i arranged the mating part of it was because i was scared you and
42:05brad
42:05would find your way back to each other but part of it was genuine i really did think case was
42:11a good
42:11man that he wouldn't treat you badly we looked at each other and smiled all the conflicts were solved
42:19i just didn't expect him to be faking the whole time chloe laughed a little embarrassed it's in the past
42:27isn't this better
42:32it is she nodded can we be friends for real i won't be like i was before
42:41sure i nodded something warm moved through my chest
42:44letting go of old grudges and coming out the other side with a friend that wasn't a bad ending we
42:49sat in
42:49the yard for the rest of the afternoon eating and talking pack gossip small things nothing important
42:55the sun came through the leaves and the air was warm and easy when case came back from the training
43:00grounds that evening and saw the two of us surprise crossed his face what are you too happy about
43:06talking about you chloe grinned about what a liar you are faking the whole thing and fooling everyone
43:14case walked over and sat down beside me he reached over and took my hand eyes warm
43:20tricking you into becoming my luna that's the luckiest thing i've ever done my face went red
43:25i gave him a look chloe burst out laughing all right i'm leaving you two alone leah i'll come
43:30by tomorrow sure take care i watched her go case turned to me are you good friend now yes the
43:39past is the

43:46how much
43:46i'd been through watching me let it go and just be happy i could tell it meant something to him
43:51we sat
43:53side by side at the stone table and looked out at the sky neither of us said much we didn't
43:58need to
43:59days like this quiet and unhurried became the rhythm of our life case stayed busy with the pack and with
44:06royal matters but he always made time sunrises sunsets he spoiled me until i didn't know what
44:12to do with it martha was healthy and smiling every day the estate was calm and easy again the way
44:19it
44:19used to be true to his word prince caden petitioned the lichen king on my behalf at my official luna
44:26ceremony the lichen king's decree was read aloud a formal commendation in front of the entire pack
44:33the estate was lit up and full of noise that day case lifted the veil and placed it over my
44:38head
44:38himself his eyes proud and soft the most beautiful luna then he shifted right there in front of
44:45everyone his wolf was massive dark broad-shouldered still he lowered himself to the ground and waited
44:53i climbed onto his back he rose slowly carrying me steady and lifted his head toward the moon
44:59the howl that came out of him was long and deep and carried across the entire territory one by one
45:05the pack answered howl after howl rising into the night sky i thought about everything it had taken to
45:12get here a bastard omega with no wolf no one to speak for her only i knew how hard the
45:18road had been
45:19and all of it every bit of the happiness on the other side of it came from the man standing
45:24behind me
45:25after the ceremony case took me south open land warm air water catching the afternoon light
45:31far from everything that had tried to take us down the rest of our lives stretched out ahead of us
45:36every year every season together after the ceremony life settled into a new rhythm
45:44i stood beside case at every pack meeting every decision every matter that came through the estate
45:49gates his pack was my pack his people were my people but he always made time a weekend drive
45:57with no destination a trail through the forest at dawn wherever he thought i'd want to see he took me
46:03there without being asked the rest of our lives stretched out ahead of us every year every season together
