Short filmTranscript
00:00My sister was thrown into a basin filled with pearls. Her enormous tail glowed a faint, eerie blue. Their hands
00:07grabbed at her body without care. Shimmering blue scales scattered across the ground. They didn't stop until they cut open
00:13her abdomen. They reached inside and searched until they pulled out a single mermaid's pearl, pulsing with pale light. All
00:19because the Alpha's bonded mate had heard a rumor. Deep in the southern waters lived a clan of mermaids. The
00:25clan's sacred daughter carried a legendary pearl in her body.
00:28If it was placed inside a human woman, she would radiate natural allure. Her beauty would never fade. The bonded
00:34mate had become obsessed. The Alpha, Kaylin, ordered the slaughter of the entire mermaid clan just to make her smile.
00:41That day the sea turned red as far as my eyes could reach. I hid beneath a submerged rock. My
00:47eyes stung with rage and salt water. I wept. My tears turned to pearls, each one stained red. The last
00:53thing I heard before she hid me was my sister's gentle voice.
00:56Evelyn, live. The world knew only one thing about our clan. The mermaid's sacred daughter carried a pearl passed down
01:02through generations. No one knew that this generation had produced two sacred daughters. One of them was born with natural
01:09mermaid enchantment.
01:10But her blood and flesh could also feed tens of thousands of hexes. That one was me. I endured the
01:16bone deep agony and dragged myself to shore.
01:18I used an ancient mermaid rite to transform my tail into legs. Then I offered my own blood and marrow
01:23as a sacrifice to feed the hexes. Until a small black serpent flicked its crimson tongue and coiled around my
01:30wrist. It devoured thousands of venomous creatures. It became the hex king.
01:34Three months later, my dark magic was complete. I made my way to the Alpha's central packlands. I disguised myself
01:40as a dancer and slipped inside his pack. Using a pouch of pearls formed from mermaid's tears, I bought information
01:46on the Alpha Kaelin's movements.
01:48That night, moonlight spread across the bank. I danced on the surface of the forest lake, my toes skimming the
01:54water and sending ripples of silver light outward. A sweet fragrance drifted from my body. Thousands of colorful moths followed
02:01the scent and circled around me, unwilling to leave. Kaelin stood there and stared for a long time. When my
02:07dance ended, I turned and met his gaze. My heart lurched.
02:10I quickly reached for my shoes and moved to leave. He called out and stopped me. You are one of
02:15the dancers? That dance was something. I have never seen it before.
02:18I kept my eyes down, pretending not to recognize him. It is a dance from my homeland. Few have ever
02:24seen it.
02:25It was early spring. The night wind was cool. My body trembled slightly from the cold. He seemed to notice.
02:31He pulled his coat and draped it gently over mine. I looked up at him with surprise. Warmth crept into
02:36my cheeks.
02:36I watched a flash of something stunned pass through Kaelin's eyes. He composed himself.
02:41My bonded mate loves to dance. Her birthday celebration is coming soon. You will perform this dance for her.
02:47I dropped to one knee on the ground. Forgive me. I did not know I was speaking to the Alpha.
02:53Kaelin waved his hand. His gaze stayed on my face. Rise. You are forgiven. Do not disappoint me or my
02:59mate.
02:59I thanked him and accepted the task. I watched his back as he walked away. I moved my fingers slightly.
03:04A tiny dark hex creature burrowed beneath his skin. By the next day, the story of the Alpha meeting a
03:10dancer at the moonlit grove had spread through the entire pack.
03:14Someone knocked on my door. It was an unfamiliar older woman I had not seen before.
03:18I was brought before the bonded mate, Serafina. Inside her private room in the pack, she wore rich furs and
03:24gleaming jewelry, sitting alone on an elevated platform.
03:28She was the one wanted a mermaid's pearl and destroyed my entire clan.
03:31She killed my sister. When she looked at me, her face twisted with disgust.
03:35You look like that and you think you can dance for me?
03:38Before coming, I had used a mermaid trick to mark my face with dense, uneven spots.
03:43Serafina was dangerously jealous. If my true face was exposed here, I would not survive.
03:48I knelt inside the room. I forced the hatred down.
03:51My lady, when I dance I will keep a thin silver mask. I would never cause you distress.
03:56Yes. Fine. With that face of yours, you can't cause any real trouble anyway. Since it was the Alpha's idea,
04:01I'll allow-
04:02Serafina waved her hand. The older woman beside her led me out. The moment I stepped outside the room, I
04:08nearly collided with Kaelin arriving.
04:10He caught one glance at me. My face looked nothing like the woman he had seen the night before. He
04:14understood.
04:15If Serafina had seen my real face, he would have found a corpse, not a dancer.
04:20Kaelin's brow furrowed. A rare flash of anger toward his bonded mate, I let the corner of my mouth curve
04:25slightly.
04:25I returned to my room and wiped away the markings on my face.
04:28Serafina, you wanted natural beauty and endless allure, did you?
04:32No way. I was going to destroy you.
04:34The small black serpent slid silently up my wrist and flicked its tongue.
04:38I stroked its head gently and whispered,
04:40Soon, you will be the first one I send down to answer to my sister.
04:45The day of Serafina's birthday. Kaelin walked beside Serafina along the water's edge.
04:50You promised me a gift, Alpha. When will it arrive?
04:54Kaelin gave a signal.
04:56I dance on the lotus leaves. The fragrance rose again.
04:59Thousands of moths descended and danced around me.
05:02Everyone present went still. Eyes glazed with wonder.
05:05Only Serafina looked very jealous.
05:07As I moved, the thin mask slipped from my face.
05:11I looked at Serafina and smiled.
05:12The hatred in her eyes was so thick.
05:15When the dance ended,
05:17I offer my congratulations to our future Luna on her birthday celebration.
05:22May the Alpha and Luna love each other forever.
05:25Kaelin reached toward me and said softly,
05:28You did not disappoint me.
05:30My Alpha, I am very pleased with the gift you gave me.
05:34Kaelin replied coldly.
05:36Good.
05:37That night, the hex creature was working.
05:39It was shifting Kaelin's emotions.
05:41To avoid drawing attention,
05:42I moved my fingertip to call the hex creature back.
05:45Before I could, a man's voice cut through the crowd.
05:50Alpha, why not give this beauty to me as a gesture of goodwill between our packs?
05:55Kaelin looked toward the source of the voice.
05:57Who is speaking?
05:59Alpha. That is the Alpha of the Vyre Pack.
06:01Greetings, Alpha. I am Reich.
06:03If you are willing to give this woman to me,
06:06I will guarantee a hundred years of peace between our packs.
06:10Trading one dancer for lasting peace between packs
06:12was a bargain that looked good, no matter how you looked at it.
06:15Alpha, surely being bonded into the Vyre Pack
06:19would be the best outcome for this little dancer.
06:22I pretended to be weak.
06:23My eyes filled with tears.
06:25Something in Kaelin's chest seemed to twist.
06:27You are too late.
06:28She is already my bonded mate.
06:31Serafina's face went white.
06:33Kaelin? What'd you say?
06:34I said, she is my Luna.
06:37Next day, a formal mate decree arrived at my door.
06:41When I arrived at my new room,
06:42Serafina was already waiting.
06:44She slapped me on the face in a vicious smile.
06:46You dare deceive me?
06:48You little slut!
06:50If I hadn't, would I have lived long enough to dance?
06:53You think that showing your face to the Alpha
06:55and being Luna means anything?
06:57I will still kill you.
06:59Oh? So you have already planned how I die?
07:02A fire in your room.
07:03You burn.
07:04How careless.
07:06He and I bonded young.
07:07My father and brother fought battles for him.
07:10He will not punish me over one worthless life.
07:12Serafina's people tied my hands and feet
07:14and threw me to the ground.
07:16They poured oil around me on all sides.
07:18As the sparks fell, Serafina laughed openly.
07:21The Alpha is drunk tonight.
07:23No one in this whole territory can save you.
07:26I watched her leave.
07:27I smiled wickedly.
07:28The fire caught.
07:29I killed every guard.
07:31Every guard at the door clutched his throat.
07:33Blood poured from their eyes and mouths as they collapsed.
07:36I walked out of the flames with the small black serpent in my arms.
07:40Following the path, the crawling insects on the ground laid out.
07:43I ran until I crashed into someone.
07:45I looked up at the person I had run into, shocked.
07:48He looked toward the fire burning not far away.
07:51Who dared set fire in my territory?
07:53Find them!
07:54He was not really ignorant of who had done it.
07:56He was performing, as Serafina had said.
07:59Her family had fought for his back.
08:01Kaylin was not going to genuinely punish Serafina over a dancer he had barely met.
08:05Kaylin, I am scared.
08:08Kaylin had truly been drinking.
08:10His face was flushed.
08:11His breath carried the warmth of it.
08:13I was a born mermaid, with curves and big boobs.
08:16With the hex creature working on top of that, desire lit in Kaylin's eyes.
08:21He carried me back to his chambers.
08:23Word would reach Serafina quickly.
08:25Knowing her, she would not let it go.
08:27Sure enough, one of Serafina's attendants knelt outside.
08:31Alpha, Lady Serafina is unwell and asking for you.
08:35Sexily, my fingertips slowly traced across Kaylin's chest.
08:40Would you like to go to her, my alpha?
08:44He stared at me.
08:45With you beside me, I cannot think of anyone else.
08:48I smiled with smug, his warm breath falling against my neck.
08:51The next second he sank into sleep.
08:53A small, pale pink hex creature was still slowly working its way into his skin at his brow.
08:59I have woven you a beautiful dream.
09:02Enjoy it.
09:02I nicked my finger.
09:04I let blood drip onto a cloth.
09:06The rest I fed drop by drop between Kaylin's lips.
09:09Don't waste a single drop of this poison.
09:11The dose now is too small to cause damage.
09:13But fed slowly, day after day, it will eventually kill you.
09:17And this poison only I can cure.
09:19I counted the time and waited for Serafina's arrival.
09:21A thumbnail-sized spider.
09:23One of 10,000 living watchers I had placed throughout the pack.
09:27I smoothed my robe and walked out.
09:29Serafina stood outside the door.
09:31Behind her trailed a crowd of pack-omegas and attendants.
09:34I stood before her and deliberately let my hair fall to one side to show the mark on my neck.
09:39The alpha has retired for the night.
09:41Come back tomorrow.
09:42You worthless slit.
09:44I am going to kill you.
09:46Please calm yourself.
09:48You would not want to harm the child.
09:50Those words froze Serafina in place.
09:52Kaylin had promised her that if she bore the first heir,
09:55he would grant her the Luna title.
09:57Five years had passed.
09:58She had exhausted every remedy she could find.
10:01Healer after healer had come and gone.
10:03If she could not produce an heir, that title would never be hers.
10:07This was the wound she kept buried deepest inside her.
10:10Seize her.
10:11Beat her.
10:12I had just exposed it in front of everyone.
10:14No wonder she snapped.
10:16My lady!
10:17Please wait.
10:18Why not call a pack-healer to examine you?
10:20I will say one more thing.
10:21That child in your womb, only I can protect it.
10:24Well, am I carrying?
10:25My lady, this is without question a pregnancy.
10:29Truly?
10:30I watched her face.
10:31I could not help thinking that even someone this ruthless could look this fragile.
10:35She cherished her child's life so much, yet she cruelly killed my sister.
10:40Is the pregnancy stable?
10:42My lady, by the signs it is strong and steady.
10:44There is no cause for concern.
10:46Serafina smiled when she heard that.
10:48Now that I am carrying, I should not be around blood.
10:50But you irritate me so much that killing you would satisfy me.
10:53Serafina gave an order.
10:55The attendants nearby stepped forward and grabbed hard at my arms, dragging me toward the door.
11:00I moved my fingertips slightly.
11:02The next second, Serafina clutched her abdomen and cried out.
11:05The healer rushed to check her pulse.
11:07My lady, please spare us.
11:09These are signs of a failing pregnancy.
11:11Serafina panicked.
11:13Now her face had gone white.
11:14If this child is lost, I will destroy everyone connected to you.
11:17Everyone connected to me?
11:19She had no idea that every soul connected to me had already been killed.
11:23Only I had dragged myself back from the edge of death to find her for revenge.
11:28I stepped forward and pressed a few points on her body.
11:31Serafina's color slowly improved.
11:33The healers checked again.
11:34The pregnancy appeared stable.
11:36The truth was, I knew nothing about healing.
11:39Serafina was never pregnant.
11:40The night she came to burn me alive, I had quietly placed a hex inside her.
11:45This particular hex could mimic pregnancy signs.
11:48In later stages, it would even produce the sensation of movement.
11:51But at the same time, it would torment her body day and night and drain her of nourishment.
11:57If I wanted her dead, she would die.
11:59But killing Serafina alone was not enough to satisfy what burned in me.
12:03The ones who had come to slaughter my clan that day, her brother's thick hands had run over my sister's
12:08tail.
12:09Scales and blood fell to the ground.
12:11My sister had broken into a cold sweat from the pain and made no sound.
12:15I looked at Serafina's pleased face and let a cold smile form.
12:20Every pain you put my sister through, I will visit it on you a hundredfold.
12:25When I returned to Kaelin's chambers, he was still sleeping.
12:28I removed my outer layer and lay down beside him.
12:31I found myself wondering what expression he would make when he woke and heard that Serafina was pregnant.
12:36After all, he had long ago given her a tincture that would prevent her from ever bearing children.
12:41Serafina's family had enormous power and controlled a large fighting force.
12:45If she actually produced an heir, her family's ambitions would be impossible to contain.
12:50Kaelin did feel something genuine for Serafina, but genuine feeling meant nothing when weighed against power and survival.
12:57Kaelin woke.
12:58Something in his eyes seemed to still be savoring the night.
13:00I stirred slowly under his gaze and smiled shyly.
13:03A man named Jonas knelt outside the door.
13:06Alpha, word came from Lady Serafina.
13:09The healer confirmed a pregnancy this morning.
13:12Has the news spread?
13:13My lord, Lady Serafina has already sent word to her father the Gamma.
13:17I tactfully rose to leave.
13:20Kaelin caught my hand.
13:21You wore yourself out last night.
13:23Rest here.
13:24I will have a better space prepared for you.
13:27I thanked him.
13:28I lay back on his bed and watched his back as he left.
13:30The game just began.
13:32Serafina's pregnancy had Kaelin balancing pack politics,
13:36while also trying to deal with whatever was growing inside her.
13:39No one had attention to spare for me.
13:41This was the perfect moment for revenge.
13:43The alpha of the Veer pack from the Celebration, Riker, was the blade I intended to use.
13:48I wanted more than just these few deaths.
13:51I want to bring your whole power structure down.
13:53I wrote a short message and let the Black Serpent carry it between his jaws.
13:56It followed scent until it reached Riker.
13:58The days of waiting moved quickly.
14:00One afternoon, an attendant from Serafina's wing knocked on my door.
14:04Lady Serafina is in severe pain.
14:06She is asking you to come and look at her.
14:08I stroked the Black Serpent, cut it into my pocket.
14:10Inside her room, the incense was overwhelming.
14:13It did not mask the smell of blood.
14:14Kaelin had made his move.
14:15Too bad there was no actual child inside her.
14:18No matter how strong the tincture, it only made Serafina suffer.
14:21There was nothing real to destroy.
14:23The night I had helped her with the pregnancy, I had kept that from Kaelin.
14:26I stood at Serafina's bedside, watching her face crumple with pain,
14:30and drew out a bottle of medicine.
14:31The hex creatures had not been affected.
14:34Inside Serafina, they continued to grow.
14:36Can my child survive?
14:38I checked her without concern, and told her,
14:41Yes, but you will have to endure some pain.
14:44She looked at me weakly.
14:46Evelyn, if you dare deceive me, my father and brother will make you pay.
14:51I grabbed her hand tightly.
14:53She was in agony, but could not cry out.
14:55She could only glare at me with red eyes.
14:58I was honestly curious how her father and brother planned to come after me.
15:02I had given Riker a handful of hex creatures,
15:04and told him to find a way to place them in the food and drink of Serafina's father and brother.
15:09They commanded a force posted at the pack's border.
15:12Once the hex took hold in the lead fighters, morale would collapse.
15:16Their entire fighting force would stop being beat.
15:19Serafina had already collapsed with exhaustion.
15:22I motioned to the entrance.
15:24Let the healer come in to check her.
15:25But the person who came in alongside the healer was Kaelin.
15:29The healer checked Serafina.
15:31Kaelin and I stood to one side.
15:33I was not aware you had this kind of skill.
15:36An old remedy from Homeland.
15:37I hope the Alpha finds it amusing.
15:40I had ruined his plan.
15:41Punishment was likely.
15:43I was thinking through how to demonstrate my loyalty when the healer finished and spoke.
15:47Lady Serafina's child has been preserved.
15:50Kaelin's expression was terrible.
15:52But he composed himself, walked to the bedside, and took Serafina's hand.
15:56You have suffered.
15:58For you and for the child, it is nothing.
16:00I must also thank Evelyn for this.
16:02Her body was too fragile for any healer in the pack to have helped.
16:06Only I could.
16:07Kaelin's gaze moved to me.
16:09Evelyn, do you know what you have done?
16:11I know my error.
16:13My skill was insufficient and I interfered with Lady Serafina's pregnancy.
16:16If anything had gone wrong, no punishment would be enough.
16:20Since you admit fault, you will be confined to your quarters for three months.
16:24Kaelin, it was my choice.
16:26Do not punish her.
16:27I did not believe she was helping me.
16:29She just needed me available to manage the pregnancy.
16:32If I was confined, the next time Kaelin moved against her, she would have no one to call.
16:38It was my poor judgment, my Alpha.
16:40I will accept the penalty.
16:41Enough, Serafina.
16:42This is your first child together.
16:44Evelyn nearly made a serious mistake.
16:46Do not speak on her behalf.
16:48She wanted me dead.
16:49Me being punished satisfied something in her.
16:53She was not going to push too hard.
16:55I returned to my quarters.
16:57That night, Kaelin came.
16:59He held my hand in both of his and rubbed it gently.
17:02The hex creature was still.
17:04I had not called it.
17:05And yet he looked at me and said,
17:07Evelyn, give me a child.
17:09If he had not been sitting right in front of me, I would have laughed out loud.
17:14I forced down my revulsion and played the part.
17:17He carried me to the inner chamber.
17:19Kaelin and I had already been together.
17:21The hex could deceive for a time, but not forever.
17:24Mermaids were extraordinarily soft by nature.
17:56The old stories were not wrong.
17:57There were no other females in his pack.
17:59Serafina could not carry children herself.
18:01So she had quietly poisoned every other female with access to him.
18:06He had no heirs at all.
18:07It was a pity this child was destined not to be born.
18:10Every drop of my blood and marrow was already given to sustain the hex creatures.
18:16There was nothing left to nourish a child.
18:19Kaelin, this is your consequence.
18:21You sent soldiers to exterminate my clan.
18:24Now you will have no lineage.
18:27That is what you deserve.
18:28I think he is moving.
18:30Alpha, you're teasing me.
18:32He is only two months along.
18:33He cannot move yet.
18:35I truly feel it.
18:36Perhaps I am just hungry.
18:38You both laughed.
18:39Serafina walked in.
18:40To find exactly that scene.
18:43Serafina was showing now.
18:45Her body had grown heavy.
18:46She had become gaunt.
18:48Her face was hollow.
18:49No amount of powder could hide how worn out she looked.
18:52The hex creatures inside her were draining her, without stopping.
18:56I was nestled against Kaelin.
18:58My skin luminous.
18:59My face bright.
19:00As I leaned into him.
19:02Why are you here?
19:03I heard the good news about Evelyn and came to offer my congratulations.
19:07I did not expect you to be here as well.
19:09Kaelin had not visited her in a very long time.
19:12He had found excuse after excuse.
19:14She had no way to make him come.
19:16Desperate, she had sent letters to her father and brother.
19:19No reply had come.
19:21Today, she had heard that the woman in these quarters was carrying.
19:24And she could no longer sit still.
19:25I rose from Kaelin's side.
19:28Thank you for thinking of me.
19:30How have you been keeping, my lady?
19:33Serafina did not spare me a glance.
19:35She stared only at Kaelin.
19:37Have you grown to hate me?
19:41My Alpha?
19:42Kaelin loosened his hold on my hand slightly.
19:45Do not think too much into it.
19:47I will come see you later.
19:48At that moment, Jonas arrived, his face urgent.
19:51Alpha, there is an urgent report from the border.
19:54The council is waiting for you.
19:55Kaelin patted my hand, glanced once at Serafina, then rose and left.
19:59I settled back on the low seat, tilted my head toward Serafina, and yawned slowly.
20:04Is there anything else?
20:06If not, I would like to rest.
20:08Serafina looked at me with a cold smile.
20:10I underestimated you, but carrying an heir means nothing in the end.
20:14Being able to actually deliver one, that is what matters.
20:17I return the same words to you, my lady.
20:19You think you are so untouchable.
20:21I still have a family behind me.
20:23A father, a brother.
20:25You are a dancer.
20:25What gives you the right to stand against me?
20:27This time, I did look up.
20:29I met her eyes and said quietly,
20:31Is that so?
