02:48Crystal, thank you for bringing her, but Andrew's pulled through. We no longer need a sacrificial mate.
02:56Lady Groff, the bond should still be completed. Leah arrived the same day Andrew woke up. This is the will
03:03of the Moon Goddess.
03:05Her will?
03:05Seal the bond properly. Leah's life force will flow into Andrew. It will help him recover.
03:16Edil, speak freely. There are no outsiders here. Alpha Andrew is awake, but...
03:22The magic struck his inner thigh. It caused massive damage to the nerves. I'm afraid he will never again be
03:27able to...
03:28Unable to do what?
03:29He will no longer be able to get hard.
03:34Knowing all this, are you still willing to mate him?
03:38Of course she is. She's just a dead-end Omega. To become an Alpha's mate, she should be grateful.
03:44If you refuse, I'll strip you naked tonight and send you into old Kevin's room. You must have heard. That
03:52old bastard has three Omegs to dead. I didn't answer right away.
03:56There was a young wolf living in the poor quarter behind our estate. Underfed, grinding towards the pack's warrior trials
04:03on an empty stomach.
04:05I passed meals through the fence for two years. When he passed the trials, I thought he'd remember. The night
04:10before everything fell apart, I went to him. He didn't open the gate!
04:15I'm betrothed now. It wouldn't be proper. Consider my debt repaid.
04:21I picked it up and walked away. That wolf became Crystal's mate. Dennis. I acted like I'd never known him.
04:29She found out anyway.
04:31Resisting was pointless. Chloe found out anyway.
04:32It had always been pointless.
04:38My lady, I am willing. I will fulfill the contract, care for Alpha Andrew, and serve you until I am
04:45no longer needed.
04:53The soul's intertwined. Life and death share the same destiny.
05:02The ceremony is over. From this moment on, I am Alpha Enger's mate.
05:13But at least you'll be spared the agony of bearing pups.
05:18Calm down, Lea. It's just a new home. A new job, that's all.
05:22Close the door.
05:35I had no intention of finding a mate.
05:38This arrangement was my mother's idea, not mine.
05:43I understand, Alpha Andrew.
05:49If you don't mind, we can treat this as a sibling agreement.
05:54You'll be cared for as a guest of this house, but nothing more will be asked of you, nor will
06:02I.
06:04I'll take this side of the bed. Starting tomorrow, you'll move to the guest room at the end of the
06:09hall.
06:13Alright.
06:16Good.
06:26There are other ways between mates. You might find it useful.
06:34Is it too hot?
06:35The dress is heavy. I'm a little warm.
06:38Then wash up and rest.
06:47I spent my whole life trying to hide this body.
06:51But now, there's nowhere left to hide.
07:00Alpha Andrew, I thought you were asleep.
07:04I could sleep later.
07:32Could he?
07:33But they said he couldn't.
07:54Was it my body?
07:55Did I, did I scare him?
07:57Tomorrow morning, I'll wrap the bindings tighter.
08:00One more loop?
08:01No, two.
08:02One more loop? No, two.
08:15He's back.
08:17He was just bathing.
08:28Luna Olivia ordered us to prepare new garments for you, my lady.
08:31This is lovely. Thank you.
08:33Alpha Andrew?
08:34Alpha Andrew?
08:34Why didn't you call for hot water?
08:36It may be summer, but the nights are still freezing. Of course you've caught a cold.
08:40Does... does Alpha Andrew usually take cold baths?
08:44I don't know, my lady.
08:46I never imagined.
08:47My body would disgust him so much that he'd resort to freezing water just to scrub the memory of me
08:53away.
08:55Thank you, Emmy. You can leave the clothes. I'll handle the rest myself.
09:14At least I can wrap the bindings one more time.
09:17I won't let my body be the reason Alpha Andrew looks at me with such disgust.
09:28Leah! Good morning, dear.
09:34Andrew, I'd like a private word with Leah. Go and get some rest. You look tired.
09:43This... is exactly reaction I expected from him.
09:47Come, sit by me.
09:48Good girl. Our Andrew is lucky to have you.
09:51I'm so sorry for his coldness. He... he wasn't always like this.
09:54It's alright, my lady.
09:55Please, call me Olivia.
09:57The PAX healer says the injuries have drained Andrew's life force.
10:00No one knows how much longer he has.
10:02To carry on the Groff bloodline.
10:04Some elders.
10:04They suggested I find a child for him to adopt.
10:07But if I did that, how could I ask you to stay?
10:09How could I be so heartless to trap you here raising a child that isn't even yours?
10:13Olivia.
10:13I am his mate.
10:14I will stay.
10:15Thank you, Leah.
10:16Thank you.
10:21My apologies, dear.
10:22I'm just so grateful.
10:25Thank you for giving this family hope again.
10:28Please, don't apologize.
10:31This...
10:31feeling of being needed, it's nice.
10:33Leah.
10:35I'm already grateful you came into this family to save Andrew.
10:41I cannot let you sacrifice the rest of your life for this.
10:44I've thought it through.
10:47If...
10:48When Andrew's time does come, I will have him issue you a formal mate release.
10:52Your future stays protected.
10:55I'll make sure you're provided with a settlement and a home of your own.
10:58You will not be left with nothing.
11:03Lady Groff, thank you.
11:06I...
11:07I never imagined anyone would...
11:10All these years, people treated me as nothing more than an Omega servant to be traded away.
11:16But Lady Groff, she cares for me like a mother.
11:20If my mother were still alive, perhaps I would have grown up under her protection too.
11:25My mother was a healer.
11:27She fell in love with my father.
11:30Never knowing he already had a mate.
11:33She passed away the very night I was born.
11:39My father brought me home to raise me.
11:42But after he died, I was left with nothing.
11:49Only the medicinal soup recipes my mother left behind.
11:53Kept me from being thrown out.
11:58Look at me, making you cry too.
12:02Leah, there's no need to be so formal.
12:06Please, call me mom, just like Andrew does.
12:11Mom!
12:15Sweetheart, I have one more favor to ask.
12:18I know it's a lot.
12:20But you're the only one I can trust now.
12:24Crystal said you know how to prepare medicinal soups.
12:26From your mother's notes, right?
12:28I want you to take over Andrew's daily meals.
12:31I hope that under your care, he might live a little longer.
12:34I'll do it, my lady.
12:39The last time I prepared a medicinal soup you was years ago.
12:42For Dennis.
12:47I've struggled to even have a full meal so I lost my parents.
12:51You're saving my life, Leah.
12:53I'll never forget this.
12:54He didn't forget.
12:55He just gave all those details to Kristen.
12:58The lengths he went to were truly something.
13:01This is different.
13:02This is for Olivia.
13:04For Andrew.
13:13Alpha Andrew?
13:15What's this about?
13:16Weren't we agreed that I was moving to the guest room?
13:18I have fewer things.
13:19It makes more sense for me to move.
13:21At least eat first.
13:22You need to keep your strength up.
13:24You can leave this kind of thing to the maid from now on.
13:27It's no different coming from me.
13:29It is different.
13:30Have Emma bring it from now on.
13:32I'll be taking my meals in the study.
13:42In that moment.
13:44I finally realized.
13:46Alpha Andrew truly doesn't want to see me.
14:03Mom, this is too much.
14:06You've already given me so much.
14:07Nonsense.
14:08Nothing is too much for the girl who is saving my son.
14:11The pack healer says Andrew's condition has stabilized significantly.
14:15I can actually see some life in his face now.
14:18Leah, my dear, that's entirely because of you.
14:24My lady, you never wear any of these beautiful things.
14:28Isn't it a waste to just keep them locked in a box?
14:32How is it a waste, Emma?
14:34Every one of these can be converted to cash.
14:38That's my security fund.
14:39But Luna Olivia gave these to you herself.
14:42She loves you so much.
14:44Do you really intend to sell them all?
14:47Not right now, of course.
14:49But if the bond is ever dissolved...
14:52Naturally, I'd sell them and keep the money on hand.
14:55My lady, don't think so.
14:57Alpha Andrew is a very good person.
15:00Relax.
15:01I remember Luna Olivia prepared a dessert for you.
15:05I'll bring it for you to taste.
15:14Alpha Andrew!
15:18Alpha Andrew?
15:22Olivia's eyesight must truly be failing her.
15:25Andrew looked worse than ever.
15:32Alpha Andrew, is there something you need?
15:35A journal.
15:37Do you know where it's kept?
15:38I don't remember.
15:45Just a little further.
15:59Thank you.
16:09Your journal.
16:16I have to stay out of his sight.
16:19I don't want to be a nuisance.
16:25My lady!
16:26It's him again!
16:27Dennis!
16:29Just throw it in the box with the others.
16:31My lady, it's not just a letter this time.
16:33He's here!
16:34What?
16:35At the side entrance.
16:37He says he won't leave until he sees you.
16:51Lea!
16:52You finally came.
16:54You should call me Mrs. Groff.
16:57Mrs. Groff.
16:59Do you have any idea what kind of humiliating position those letters of yours have put me in?
17:03Tell me, Dennis, what exactly do you want?
17:06I'm sorry.
17:07I just wanted to tell you.
17:08I'll be securing more power in the pack soon.
17:10Soon, I won't need Crystal's father support anymore.
17:14I'll buy a house, Lea.
17:15Come with me.
17:16It's better than staying with a dying man.
17:18You want me?
17:19As your mistress?
17:23Why would I give up being the Alpha's mate to be your mistress?
17:28Alpha?
17:28The whole pack knows Andrew is dying.
17:30He won't last another season.
17:31And everyone heard what the healer said.
17:33He can't even get hard anymore.
17:35Isn't that a waste?
17:36All of you?
17:38I will never be anyone's mistress.
17:40Andrew was wounded on the battlefield for the pack.
17:43Those scars are his war he won benefited you.
17:45How dare you stand here and mock his manhood.
17:47You're the one who's less.
17:49Leah, I-
17:50If you ever come near me again,
17:52every single one of your letters will be sent to Crystal.
17:54Think about what will happen to you then.
18:04He heard everything.
18:07Alpha Andrew.
18:10Wasn't it my mate just a moment ago?
18:12Why so formal all of a sudden?
18:18Yeah, Charlie?
18:18How'd you be realized?
18:19How are you?
18:19That's how I went crying.
18:19It's been to resultados.
18:19How a house Buen who is complications.
18:20Didn't it?
