00:00I threw my body into the woods
00:01No funeral, no grave, just crows
00:04And that was the second time I died for him
00:06In my world, being blind is a defect
00:08Without a wolf, I am nothing
00:10I am an omega, the very bottom of the pack
00:13No strength, no shifting, no healing
00:16A normal wolf gets tired
00:18Heals in minutes
00:20Give me a paper cut, and I'll bleed for days
00:23But I have something no one knows about
00:25I don't see faces, I see souls
00:27Jealousy, toxic green, hate
00:29Deep, oily black
00:30In my last life, I used it to build a king
00:33Lucian, a forgotten fifth son
00:35I picked him, I made him
00:37I put him on the throne
00:39In the day my sister Celeste died
00:41He grabbed my jaw so hard I heard it crack
00:45Forced a wolf's vein tincture down my throat
00:48You blind freak, you knew I never wanted you
00:51Celeste should have been mine from the start
00:53And because of you, she ended up with Marcus
00:56They tortured her to death
00:58It was your fault
01:01I died in agony
01:03He gave Celeste's corpse a royal burial
01:06He gave me the woods
01:07But the hate, his hate
01:10It was so consuming it dragged me right back to the death
01:13I opened my eyes
01:15Seventeen again
01:17Night of the mating bell
01:18Lucian walked straight past me and took Celeste's hand
01:21Like he was afraid someone might stop him
01:24The bastard came back too
01:25And he remembered everything
01:26He is terrified I'll choose him again
01:28Honestly, I couldn't care less
01:30I swept my blind gaze across the back of the room
01:33Then a sea of dark, rotten souls
01:35A soul so pure it glowed like liquid gold
01:39The man in the wheelchair
01:40The true alpha
01:42I choose Celeste as my mate
01:44Lucian's voice cracked through the hall like a whip
01:47She is my one and only Luna
01:48He walked toward my sister with eyes full of a tenderness I knew was performance
01:53The room went silent
01:54Then the whispers hit me like a wall
01:56No heir in their right mind would want her
01:58A blind Omega who couldn't even shift?
02:01What a joke!
02:02Why is she even here?
02:04Trash like her should be in the kitchen
02:06Not at a mating ball
02:08I am an alpha's daughter born blind
02:10When I came up there to my wolf
02:13A world with my teeth and claws
02:15That is not just weakness
02:17That is a death sentence
02:19Being wolf-less
02:20That makes you a joke
02:21My sister Celeste is the golden child
02:24Born with a siren song
02:27A voice that can calm even the most violent alpha
02:31The family treats her like a goddess
02:32They treat me like a mistake they can't take back
02:35Lucian dropped to one knee in front of her
02:38Accept my mark Celeste
02:41I will make you the most powerful woman alive
02:44And as he spoke
02:45He threw one look back at me
02:47Not an apology
02:48A warning
02:49He thinks he can take the throne without me this time
02:52He thinks I was what held him back
02:54He has no idea what he just threw away
02:56I didn't awaken a wolf to make my page
02:59I got something much more dangerous
03:01The soul line
03:05Jealousy is toxic for you
03:07Hate is a bottomless black
03:08Love is pink
03:10And the deeper the feeling
03:11The darker it burns
03:13In my last life
03:15I kept him alive with this
03:16I spotted assassins before they moved
03:19I told him who to trust
03:20Who to kill
03:21This time
03:22I am going to let him have exactly what he wanted
03:24And watch him realize too late that without me
03:27He is nothing
03:29And I really hope
03:30For his sake
03:31He doesn't end up crawling back to me
03:33Begging for a mercy
03:35The moment Lucian's announcement landed
03:39Every eye in the room found me
03:40I'm just a blind girl
03:42I'm not worthy of a man like Lucian
03:44Celeste is the perfect match for him
03:47At least you know your place
03:49He stepped closer
03:50An Omega with no wolf
03:51I wouldn't choose you
03:53If you were the last woman breathing
03:55Not even if you crawled to me on your knees
03:58My mother Marilyn made a sound beside me
04:00A sharp inhale
04:02Like she was about to say something she shouldn't
04:04I squeezed her hand
04:05She went quiet
04:06I swept the room with my soul
04:08Marcus
04:09Murky charcoal
04:10Cruel underneath the surface
04:12The other airs
04:13Muddy swirls of greed and want
04:15In my last life I chose Lucian because his soul looked cleaner than anyone else's in the room
04:20It was a mask
04:21I didn't see what was underneath until the day he killed me
04:24A rotten, pink, purple, black
04:26We didn't just hate what it was
04:28We hated me
04:29I was blind in my last life in more ways than one
04:32Never again
04:33Celeste glided toward me
04:34Face arranged into the perfect picture of a loving older sister
04:37Don't be sad
04:39Go ahead
04:40I'll let you have whoever you want
04:42Her soul was churning
04:44Toxic green
04:45Edge to edge
04:46Pure jealousy
04:47Barely holding its shape
04:49Since no one's going to claim you anyway
04:51You can always beg me for work
04:53Celeste will need a personal maid
04:55With CS Fest smitching floors
04:57Scrubbing floors all a wolfless Omega is good for
04:59I didn't blink
05:00I didn't even bother
05:01None of them were worth the energy
05:03And then the sound of wheels
05:05The chatter died
05:07Then the room shifted
05:09Kyle Ravenscroft had arrived
05:12Uninvited
05:13Unannounced
05:14And completely unmoved by the spectacle
05:16He sat in that wheelchair like a predator at rest
05:19And then I saw
05:20My breath caught
05:22His soul was gold
05:23Pure
05:23Shimmering
05:25Blinding gold
05:26The mark of the moon goddess herself
05:28The mark of a true king
05:30I clenched my fists so hard my nails broke the skin
05:34Last life
05:35I picked the wrong man
05:36I defied the moon goddess
05:38Put a monster on the throne
05:40And everyone paid for it
05:41Not this time
05:44I stood up
05:45I walked past Lucian without a glance
05:47Past every arrogant alpha heir in the room
05:49I stopped in front of Kyle's wheelchair
05:51I choose him
05:52The hall went dead silent
05:55Then it exploded
05:56Lifed up
05:57From every direction
05:58All it was
05:59The blind girl and the cripple
06:02Neither of you has a wolf
06:05You really are a perfect match
06:09Xayah
06:10You can't see
06:12You don't understand
06:13He's in a wheelchair
06:15She glanced at the crowd
06:17Milking every second of it
06:20I'll pretend I didn't hear that
06:22Choose again
06:24And if you truly can't find an alpha willing to have you
06:27You're welcome to follow our caravan
06:30Serve Lucian and me
06:33At least you won't go hungry
06:35I'm not anyone's servant
06:36And I'm not a stray you take in out of pity
06:39Kyle hadn't said a word through any of it
06:41He just waved his chair forward
06:43Until he was right in front of me
06:45He took my hand
06:46His palm was large and rough
06:48Thick with calluses
06:50The kind you only get from yours of hard use
06:56He took my hand and guided it to his knee
06:59No flinching
07:00No excuses
07:01If he was lying
07:03He didn't want pity for it
07:04I left my hand there
07:06I could feel the heat of him through the fabric intense
07:09Alive
07:09Then a jolt
07:11It shot through my fingertips
07:12Raced up my arm
07:13And hit my chest like a beast
07:15This wasn't the soul line
07:17This was something else entirely
07:19My blood was screaming
07:21I don't have a wolf
07:22I was never supposed to feel a mate bond
07:25But there it was
07:29Kyle's whole body locked up
07:31I looked into his soul
07:32Warm pink threading through shimmering gold
07:35I leaned in close and smiled
07:37For six minutes
07:38Lucian's face went ugly
07:40The mating ball isn't over
07:43And you're out here making promises you can't keep?
07:46If you fail to heal him
07:47The Alpha Council will have your head
07:49Can you actually do it?
07:50I didn't answer right away
07:52I let my fingers trail slowly along this test file
07:56I can
07:57But it'll require a very specific kind of contact
08:00He understood immediately
08:02The tips of his ears went red
08:04He turned his head away
08:05Couldn't quite bring himself to look at me
08:08In my peripheral vision
08:10Lucian's soul ignited
08:11A roaring wall of green fire
08:14Jealousy
08:15A cold laugh rose in my chest
08:17Jealous of what?
08:18Exception
08:18You are the one who poured poison down my throat
08:22The moment I stepped outside the hall
08:24The world tilted
08:24The white hot pain detonated behind my eyes
08:29Like something was being driven through my skull from the inside
08:33That is the cost
08:34Every time I used the soul eye on that many people at once
08:37It cost me
08:38I pressed my freezing fingers to my temples
08:41The cold always came after
08:42After the ball, Lucian got to work
08:44He pulled up everything from our past life
08:47Her favorite flowers
08:48Her secret hiding spots
08:50Every word she'd been waiting her whole life to hear
08:53He played her like he'd been practicing for years
08:56That same day
08:57A mating contract arrived at my door on heavy old parchment
09:03I accept you as my mate
09:05I will hold and protect you in this life and the next
09:08Not even death will part us
09:10The handwriting was deep and certain
09:12No hesitation in a single stroke
09:14It felt exactly like him
09:15Both weddings were set for the same morning
09:18The night before
09:19Celeste walked into my room like she owned it
09:21She didn't knock
09:22Her maid tossed something at my feet
09:24A tattered grey shawl
09:26A kind worn by the lowest ranking omegas
09:29A mark of total submission
09:32You're a blind freak, Zara
09:37No real alpha will ever claim you
09:40She leaned in
09:41Voice honeyed and vicious at the same time
09:45Lucian and I are being generous
09:47We're keeping you on as a servant
09:49But on the day of the ceremony
09:51No carriage for you
09:53You'll wear that and walk behind the caravan
09:57Servant's entrance
09:57Don't embarrass us
09:59The morning came
10:00I left the shawl on the floor where it landed
10:03I put on the dress Kyle had sent instead
10:05White silk, thousands of diamonds sewn into the fabric
10:09Small enough to look like starlight
10:12At the estate gates, two carriages waited
10:15One was extraordinary
10:17Draped in thumb-sized pearls
10:19Built like a throne that happened to have wheels
10:22The other was plainly standard blue
10:24Nothing lamentable
10:27Celeste didn't hesitate for a second
10:29She walked straight to the pearl carriage and stepped inside
10:34The headguard turned
10:36His expression didn't waver
10:38You're in the wrong carriage
10:41This was commissioned by Alpha Kyle
10:43For his Luna and no one else
10:45He didn't get her time to argue
10:47Guards took her by the arms and came to run
10:49She caught her heel on her skirt
10:52And went down hard for his face into the dirt
10:56Lucian arrived just in time to see it
11:00Celeste scrambled up and threw herself at him
11:02Already crying
11:06It's Zara!
11:07She planned this!
11:10She can't stand that I'm the one becoming a Luna!
11:13She turned to the crowd gathering around them
11:15Eyes blissing
11:16Please, don't hate her
11:18She's struggling
11:21I know we're in love, Lucian
11:23But I begged you to keep her safe
11:26I pleaded for months just so she could be our servant
11:28And I'd not starve on the street
11:32She's a blind, Omega
11:33She should be grateful anyone even bothered to take her in
11:37To pull a strunt like this on her sister's wedding day
11:39It's pathetic
11:40The crowd was vicious
11:42They always are when they smell wetness
11:44Omega!
11:45Lucian's soul was drowning in black
11:47Thick, suffocating, ink dark
11:49He pulled Celeste against his chest and turned on me
11:53You're an Omega, Zara
11:56You have no right to wear white
11:58Take that dress off right now
12:00Or I'll shred it off your back myself!
12:04Celeste buried her face in his chest
12:06But I could see her soul
12:08She was smirking
12:09Lucian
12:11You don't have me watching you back this time
12:14What's coming for you tonight isn't a wedding
12:18It's a funeral
12:21Celeste, we foiled like I'd struck
12:23How can you curse him like that?
12:26Just because he didn't choose you?
12:28You dare curse an Alpha Heir?
12:32Guards!
12:33Seize her!
12:34The soldiers started moving in
12:36Think carefully
12:38You're laying a hand on Alpha Kyle's mate
12:41Make sure that's a consequence you're ready to live with
12:44Lucian laughed
12:45Jagged
12:46Ugly
12:47Kyle?
12:48The cripple isn't even here
12:50Probably hiding in his chambers
12:52Too embarrassed to show his face
12:53He's using you for sport, Zara
12:55Nothing more
12:56He stepped forward
12:57Close enough that his shadow fell over me
12:59Kneel
12:59Beg Celeste's forgiveness
13:03And maybe
13:03Maybe
13:04I'll still find a use for you
13:06Then a voice cut through everything
13:07Who is threatening my mate?
13:09The crowd spilt
13:10Kyle moved through them like they weren't there
13:12Sharp black suit
13:13Not a single piece out of the place
13:15Even seated
13:16His presence was suffocating
13:17The moment he appeared
13:19The street went silent
13:20Beside him
13:21Lucian suddenly looked like a boy
13:25Kyle came straight to me
13:27He took my hand and folded it inside his
13:29Large, warm, uncurried
13:32Then he looked up
13:35His eyes fixed on Lucian like a blade finding its mark
13:39Let's try that again
13:40Who was it that told my mate to move?
13:42The temperature in the street seemed to drop
13:45No one left
13:46No one breathed
13:47He didn't shout
13:48Didn't signal his men
13:50He just watched Lucian the way a predator watches something it has already decided to deal with later
13:55I'll remember that
13:56I'm an alpha heir
13:58Same as you
13:59Who the hell do you think you are?
14:01Who the hell do you think you are?
14:02A forgotten fifth son
14:04Trying to give orders to my mate
14:06You're not a rival, Lucian
14:08You're a fit note
14:10The color drained from Lucian's face
14:12This isn't over
14:14Low and mean
14:15You'll both regret tonight
14:18I gave you a chance, Zara
14:20When you come crawling back
14:22And you will
14:24Don't expect mercy
14:25I looked at his soul
14:26Muddy green
14:28Murky and small
14:29He genuinely believes he is the chosen one
14:31He thinks the throne is already his
14:33And that I was just dead weight holding him back
14:35He has no idea what is waiting for him
14:37Without me clearing his path
14:39He won't last the season
14:41He'll be lucky to still be breathing by the time the leaves turn
14:44Our first night as mates was quiet
14:46Just the two of us
14:48And the fire crackling low between us
14:51We shared whiskey
14:52Amber and slow burning on the way down
14:56I could feel his eyes
14:58Heavy and silver warm against my skin
15:00My pulse wouldn't settle
15:02Even sitting across from me in that chair
15:04His presence filled the entire room
15:07You said you could fix my legs
15:11How?
15:13Help me with something first
15:16I've never seen this room
15:19Describe it to me
15:21Then he started talking
15:22The fires glow
15:24The oil paintings
15:25He told me their textures
15:27Not just their subjects
15:29The velvet curtains
15:30Deep and heavy
15:31On the shelf above the nightstand
15:35There's an old book
15:37The cover is faded
15:39My hand stilled around the glass
15:41That shelf was high
15:42Nearly at the ceiling
15:44From a wheelchair
15:45The top of that book
15:46Was completely out of sight
15:48There was no way
15:48He could know the cover was faded
15:50I didn't say a word
15:52I just took another sip
15:53And filed that detail away somewhere
15:55I wouldn't forget it
15:56I stood up with my glass in hand
15:59Then let it slip
16:01It hit the carpet with a dull thud
16:03And rolled toward the sofa
16:05Kyle's body moved
16:07Before his mind could stop it
16:08His chest surged forward
16:10The muscles in his thighs
16:12Locked and coiled
16:13Dense as iron cables
16:14For a single, unguarded second
16:17He was about to stand
16:18Then he caught himself
16:20And settled back into the leather
16:21As if nothing had happened
16:22But I felt it
16:24That reflex was all the confirmation I needed
16:27I didn't say anything
16:28Not yet
16:30There's one more way to be sure
16:34I stepped in close
16:36And I straddled his lap
16:38Kyle stopped breathing
16:41The heat from his hands
16:42Soaked straight through the silk
16:44It burned against my skin
16:45Like a brand
16:47My heart was slamming
16:48I ignored it
16:51I raised my hand
16:52And let my fingertips trace
16:53From his jaw down to his chest
16:56Hard as stone beneath the shirt
16:57Not the body of a man
16:59Who hadn't used his legs in seven years
17:01I looked into his soul
17:02A storm deep crimson
17:04Soft pink
17:05Something more tender than he'd admit
17:08And threading through both
17:09A sharp streak of dark green panic
17:12He knew I was getting close
17:14I leaned down
17:20My lips barely grazed
17:22The corner of his mouth
17:23Not a kiss
17:24A question
17:25His breathing came apart
17:27And then I took his hand
17:28And pressed his palm flat
17:30Against my chest
17:31The silk between us
17:32Was nothing
17:33My face was burning
17:34Because in that moment
17:36His body gave me
17:37The most honest answer he had
17:39His body reacted
17:40Before his mind
17:41Could stop it
17:42I felt the shift
17:43In his balance
17:44The sudden brace
17:46Through his thighs
17:46The instinctive drive upward
17:48A man who hadn't used his legs
17:50In seven years
17:51Wouldn't move like that
17:52I pulled back just enough
17:54Let the smile come slowly
17:56Your legs are fine
17:57That much, I know
17:59Kyle closed his eyes
18:01His throat moved
18:02As he swallowed
18:02Then he stood up
18:04One hand stayed at my waist
18:06The other still pressed
18:08Against my chest
18:09He lifted me
18:10And I felt just how much
18:11Of him there was
18:12Nearly six foot long
18:13All of it muscle
18:15My whole world
18:16Was suddenly just him
18:17How did you know?
18:19I just smiled
18:20And gave him something
18:21Vague enough to pass
18:22He set me down gently
18:24On the edge of the bed
18:25Then stepped back
18:26The hand that had touched
18:27My chest was shaking
18:28I'm sorry
18:29I shouldn't have
18:30Don't
18:42I'm the one
18:43Seven years
18:44Seven years fooling everyone
18:45The whole damn world
18:48And my blind mate
18:49Catches me on the very first night
18:50We didn't go any further
18:52That night
18:52We ended up on the rug
18:53In front of the fire
18:54The bottle of whiskey
18:56Between us
18:56And we just
18:58Talked
18:58He told me about the night
19:00His parents were killed
19:01They called it
19:02A rogue wolf attack
19:04Everyone knew
19:05What it actually was
19:06The alpha king
19:07Had ordered it
19:08He was 15 years old
19:10Standing at their funeral
19:11And he made a decision
19:12He would become the cripple
19:15Invisible
19:17Unthreatening
19:17Off the king's list entirely
19:20It was the only way
19:21To stay alive
19:22I told him about Lucian
19:24All of it
19:25What he was underneath
19:27I didn't choose you
19:28Because I had no other options
19:30I chose you
19:31Because you were the only one
19:32Worth choosing
19:34I watched his soul
19:36Begin to shift
19:37The gold bleeding
19:38Slowly
19:38Into a deep
19:39And glowing ache
19:41Late into the night
19:42It came back
19:43The splitting pain
19:44Behind my temples
19:45Like an axe
19:46Working its way
19:47Through bone
19:48I tried to keep
19:49My hands still
19:50They were shaking anyway
19:51Kyle stopped
19:53Mid-sentence
19:54Your head
19:54Before I could deflect
19:56His thumbs were already
19:57At my temples
19:58The pressure
19:59Exact like he'd
20:01Mapped the pain
20:01Before he touched it
20:02My mother used to get them
20:04I've known what to do
20:05Since I was a boy
20:06The pain didn't ease
20:08It vanished
20:08We shared the same bed
20:10His arm lay heavy
20:11And warm across my waist
20:13My head settled
20:14Against his chest
20:15I listened to his heartbeat
20:16Through my soul lie
20:18I watched his soul settle
20:19The gold softly
20:20Deepening
20:21Into a rich and quiet pink
20:23For the first time
20:24In two lifetimes
20:25I felt safe
20:25Lucian's wedding night
20:27Was more than hard
20:28In my last life
20:29A maid tried to spike
20:30His wine with wolf's bane
20:31I caught her
20:33Before she could get close
20:34I read the murder
20:35In her soul
20:36Swapped the glasses
20:37Had her detained
20:38Before he'd taken
20:39A single seat
20:40This time
20:41I did nothing
20:42Celeste wouldn't notice
20:43She wouldn't know a threat
20:45If it sat down beside her
20:46And introduced itself
20:47The next morning
20:48Kyle and I arrived
20:49At the Alpha King's estate
20:51No sign of Lucian
20:52No sign of Celeste
20:54The corridors were alive
20:55With hushed
20:56Urgent voices
20:57His hair was poisoned
20:58In his own chambers
20:59He hasn't woken
21:00The healers say
21:02The dose was enough
21:03To drop a grizzly
21:03I kept my face
21:05Perfectly still
21:06But underneath him
21:07I was smiling
21:08Lucian's fall
21:09Had started
21:10And this time
21:11I wasn't going to stop it
21:12The carriage had barely
21:14Rolled to a stop
21:15When Celeste appeared
21:16At the gates
21:16She looked like
21:17She hadn't slept in days
21:19Zara
21:20You poisoned him
21:22Give me the antidote
21:24Right now
21:26I felt the temperature
21:27Inside the carriage shift
21:28Kyle went very still
21:29Beside me
21:30I placed a hand
21:31On his arm
21:32I've got this
21:34I leaned in
21:35And pressed a quick kiss
21:36To his cheek
21:36Then I stepped out
21:38Into the morning air
21:40Antidote
21:41I don't have one
21:43Whatever happened
21:44To Lucian
21:45Has nothing to do with me
21:47Liar
21:49Then how did you know
21:50He'd be dying
21:51On his wedding night
21:52I tilted my head
21:54That's a serious accusation
21:56Where's your proof
21:59Did you catch the killer
22:00Did you find the poison
22:02I already knew she hadn't
22:03The spy Marcus sent
22:05Was a professional
22:06Without my soul eye
22:07She was a ghost
22:08By now she was likely
22:10Across the border
22:11Untouchable
22:12Celeste stood there
22:13Mouth open
22:14Nothing coming out
22:15If you keep causing
22:16A scene on my land
22:18My warriors will remove you
22:22Her eyes dropped to my neck
22:23She saw the red mark
22:24Kyle had left there
22:26You actually slept with him
22:28A blind girl
22:30And a broken man
22:31I suppose trash
22:32Finds its own level
22:33I suppose trash
22:34Finds its own level
22:35I thought about last night
22:36The fire
22:37The whiskey
22:37The long silence
22:38After he finally stood up
22:40And I felt the full weight
22:41Of him for the first time
22:42Kyle wasn't broken
22:43He was ten thousand times
22:45The man Lucian
22:45Would ever be
22:46I laughed
22:49What is so funny
22:50I stopped
22:51Looked at her
22:52We're close enough to it
22:53I'm laughing at how blind you are
22:55Lucian is going to die
22:58And when he goes down
22:59He'll take you with him
23:01If you want to survive
23:02What's coming
23:03Sever the bond now
23:04While you still can
23:06That was it for her
23:07She swung at my face
23:08Wide
23:09Furious
23:10Telegraphed from a mile away
23:12I shifted my weight
23:13And stepped aside
23:14She hit nothing but air
23:15The momentum carried her forward
23:16And she went down hard
23:18Palms and knees in the dirt
23:19I looked down at her
23:20Remember this
23:22Because the next time
23:23You raise a hand to me
23:24I won't step aside
23:25She stared up at me
23:26From the ground
23:27Trembling
23:27For the first time in her life
23:29She was actually afraid of me
23:30The blind girl she used to torment
23:32Wasn't there anymore
23:33Someone else had taken her place
23:36Kyle was waiting
23:37When I stepped back into the carriage
23:39He just watched me
23:40With those gray eyes
23:40And in them
23:41Not worry
23:42Not pity
23:43Admiration
23:43He trusted me to handle
23:45My own affairs
23:46That respect landed heavier
23:47Than any shield he could have raised
23:49He turned to his lead god
23:50And spoke low
23:51No one from Lucian's pack
23:53Crosses onto my land again
23:55For any reason
23:57Ever
24:00After Celeste was escorted out
24:02We turned to the business of leaving
24:03We were heading for Thorn Harbor
24:05The courtyard filled with people
24:07And supplies controlled chaos
24:08And through all of it
24:09My soul I found a single target
24:11A guard named Vaughn
24:13His soul was a muddy
24:14Treacherous gray
24:15I leaned close to Kyle's ear
24:17Who is that man?
24:20Vaughn
24:21He's been with me since I was fifteen
24:23Saved my life twice
24:24I pulled back and looked at him
24:26Kyle, do you trust me?
24:28His soul flushed
24:29Deep dark pink
24:30All at once
24:31You're my mate
24:31Of course I do
24:33He's a traitor
24:35We changed the route
24:36To Thorn Harbor
24:37And we tell no one
24:39And my last time
24:40This was where it ended
24:41With Kyle
24:42Ambushed on the road
24:43To the harbor
24:44Wounds that never healed
24:45He died defending the city walls
24:47I finished speaking
24:49Let my lips brush his cheek
24:51Kyle's arm came around
24:53My waist immediately
24:54Pulling me in
24:55Across the yard
24:56I felt Vaughn watching us
24:58He clocked how close we were
25:00And looked away fast
25:01Kyle pressed his face
25:02Into the curve of my neck
25:03His breath was warm
25:04Against my skin
25:05Are you trying to fix my legs again?
25:07Because I'm happy to wait
25:09Until tonight
25:10Or we could start now
25:11The next morning
25:13Vaughn was gone
25:14Kyle sat beside me
25:15At breakfast
25:16Cutting my steak
25:17Into careful pieces
25:18Without being asked
25:19You were right
25:20Vaughn was Marcus' man
25:23Buried so deep
25:24I never suspected him once
25:26In seven years
25:27It took some
25:30Persuasion
25:31To get him to talk
25:32He looked at me
25:34How did you know, Zara?
25:36I looked into his soul
25:37Gold and pink
25:38Wound together
25:39No suspicion
25:39No fear
25:41Lucky guess
25:42The words were barely out
25:43When the pain hit
25:44White
25:45Hot behind both temples at once
25:47My hand went to my head
25:48Before I could stop it
25:49Kyle didn't say a word
25:51He just moved his chair
25:52Flush against mine
25:53Un in hand
25:54Kept cutting my food
25:55The other reached up
25:56And wrapped around
25:56The back of my neck
25:57The pain dissolved
25:58He has stopped asking
25:59Why it happens
26:00He just makes sure
26:01He is there when it does
26:02Thorn harbor
26:03Kyle's territory
26:05The land was rough
26:06Resources thin
26:08The kind of place
26:09The Alpha Council
26:10Never bothered to look at twice
26:12The wolves here
26:13Were loyal to Kyle
26:14The way wolves are loyal
26:16To someone they've chosen
26:17Out of true devotion
26:18When I went to the market
26:20They called me Luna
26:21And refused my coin
26:22Every stall
26:23Every vendor
26:24I had to set the money down
26:26And walk away
26:26Before they touch it
26:27I came back to the estate
26:29Breathless
26:30And my maid watched me
26:31Come through the door
26:34The Luna is blind
26:35But she moves faster
26:36Than any soldier
26:37I've trained with
26:40Kyle heard her
26:41That night his fingers
26:42Found the edges of my eyes
26:45Zara
26:47Is it really just
26:49Nothing?
26:50I nodded
26:51He pulled me in
26:52Against his chest
26:53And held me there
26:55It doesn't matter
26:56I'll be your eyes
26:57Every sunrise
26:58Every star
27:00Whatever you want to see
27:01I'll find the words for it
27:02I watched his soul
27:04Through all of it
27:05The gold was shifting
27:06Becoming something warmer
27:07Deeper
27:08The more time we spent together
27:09The deeper the gold grew
27:11Every shared meal
27:12Every quiet evening
27:13Beside him
27:14It only became richer
27:15But then something strange
27:17Started happening
27:17When I was away from him
27:19Even briefly
27:19I got restless
27:20Not just missing him
27:21It was physical
27:22A deep pulling ache
27:23I couldn't reason away
27:24The further I walked
27:25The worse it pulled
27:26Until it hurt
27:27I told myself
27:28It was the intensity
27:29Of a new bond
27:29But I knew that wasn't it
27:31I don't have a wolf
27:32I was never supposed
27:33To feel this
27:34That night when he kissed me
27:35His soul shifted
27:36Into something
27:37I'd never seen before
27:38A pink so saturated
27:40And alive
27:40It looked like
27:41The first day of spring
27:42Breaking open
27:43All at once
27:43The most beautiful thing
27:45I had ever seen
27:45It didn't last
27:47The next morning
27:47A piece of encrypted
27:49Intelligence arrived
27:50Lucian is awake
27:51But the damage is permanent
27:52Intermittent mania
27:53He has lost control
27:54Of his wolf
27:55A slow smile
27:56Touched my lips
27:57This was just the beginning
27:58Of what was coming for him
27:59But then
28:00The catch
28:00The Alpha Council
28:01Had issued a mandatory summons
28:03Marcus was hosting a banquet
28:04Every heir was required
28:06To attend
28:06No exceptions
28:07Kyle had no choice
28:08We were going back
28:09Marcus' estate
28:10Reeked of bad intentions
28:12Before we even
28:12Stepped inside
28:13I swept the ballroom
28:14With my soul eye
28:15The moment we crossed
28:16The threshold
28:17Oily green for greed
28:18Thick in every corner
28:19Of the room
28:20A deep sickening crimson
28:21For lust
28:22And underneath all of it
28:23Something flat and purposeful
28:25That made my skin crawl
28:26I found Kyle's hand
28:27Under the table
28:28And held it
28:28Don't eat
28:29Don't touch the wine
28:30And don't leave my side
28:31Not for a second
28:32Kyle glanced at me
28:34As you wish
28:35My Luna
28:35I couldn't explain
28:37Not here
28:37But I remembered this night
28:39In my last life
28:40This banquet ended in blood
28:41Their souls were a flat
28:42Professional grey
28:43The colour of people
28:44Who had killed before
28:46And slept just fine after
28:47Last time
28:48When the blades came out
28:49I didn't think
28:50I just threw myself
28:51In front of Lucian
28:52And took a poison silver dagger
28:54To the ribs
28:54Carried that scar for years
28:56Monce when Lucian was already king
28:58I mentioned it
28:58He looked at me
28:59With something close to boredom
29:01Protecting your mate
29:02Is your duty Zara
29:03You're already Luna
29:05What more do you want?
29:06I don't make the same mistakes
29:07Twice
29:08It happened fast
29:09The three dancers reached
29:10Into their silks
29:11Short blades
29:12Jagged
29:13Silver
29:13And they lunged
29:15Kyle moved before I could blink
29:17He didn't care about the secret anymore
29:19He came half out of his chair
29:21One arm sweeping me behind him
29:23And his guards materialized from the dark
29:25Like they'd been part of the shadows all along
29:27A wall of bodies between us and everything
29:30We were safe
29:31I looked past them toward Lucian
29:33No one moved to cover me
29:34The moment the first blade flashed
29:36Celeste screamed and rang
29:38Straight for the exit
29:39He didn't look backwards
29:40Lucian was surrounded
29:42A silver dagger
29:43Soaked in concentrated wolfsbane
29:45Buried itself into his thigh
29:47Dark blood hit the floor
29:49He went down hard gasping
29:51Through the screaming
29:52The overturned chairs
29:54The crush of bodies trying to flee
29:56His eyes found mine
29:58He was begging
29:59His soul was a wreck
30:00Terror and pain
30:02And underneath it all
30:03A dark green tide of regret
30:05I held his face
30:07Kept my face completely still
30:09Didn't move a single muscle
30:11I am blind after all
30:12I can't see a thing
30:14I didn't make it two steps into the carriage
30:16The spike hit the moment the door closed
30:18Red hot
30:19Straight through the center of my skull
30:21It was the worst backlash I'd ever suffered
30:23I scanned the entire ballroom
30:25Every soul
30:26Every shadow
30:27Every blade
30:28Before they struck
30:28It cost me everything
30:30The world went black
30:31My knees folded
30:33Kyle caught me before I hit the floor
30:35His arms locked around my waist like iron
30:38Pulling me hard against his chest
30:40Zara
30:40I'd never heard that in his voice before
30:43Fear
30:43My head
30:44Was all I could get out
30:45He didn't wait
30:46He pulled me in against him
30:48And pressed both arms to my temples
30:49And something happened that I still can't explain
30:52It wasn't just pressure
30:53It wasn't just warmth
30:54It felt like a hand reaching through the pain
30:56And pulling it out from the root
30:58Gone completely
30:59In seconds
30:59I lay against his chest
31:01Dazed
31:02Listening to his heart pound
31:04Why does his touch do that?
31:05This isn't comfort
31:06This is something older
31:08Something that runs deeper than either of us understands
31:11And it is starting to frighten me
31:13While I recovered in Kyle's arms
31:15The reason is learning what that blade actually felt like
31:17The wolf's bane on those daggers was pure
31:20It doesn't just wound
31:21It destroys whatever the body would normally heal
31:23It shredded his body's ability to heal from the inside out
31:26In my last life
31:27I took that blade from him
31:29I felt the silver eat into my flesh
31:31I felt the poison dissolve everything I had
31:33I survived it barely
31:34And he never once mentioned it again
31:36He treated my body like a shield he was entitled to stand behind
31:40This time he got to find out what it actually costs
31:43The healers couldn't do a thing
31:44The damage was permanent
31:46Lucian would never walk again
31:47The man who spent his whole life looking down at everyone from a great height
31:51Is never going to stand again
31:52The intelligence reports kept arriving
31:54One after another like a slow collapse
31:57Lucian confirmed permanently disabled
32:00Celeste began her exit strategy the moment he lost his strife
32:04She spent months petitioning the Alpha Council to dissolve their bond
32:08Six months later the Alpha King had seen enough
32:11He stripped Lucian of his inheritance
32:13No title
32:14No claim
32:15No future
32:16In the werewolf world
32:17No one pledges their sword to a man who can't leave from a taunt
32:21In our last life
32:23Lucian thought seizing the throne was simply a matter of wanting it badly enough
32:27He had no idea what was actually holding him up
32:30He thought those allies followed him by choice
32:33I made sure they were worthy long before they ever pledged themselves
32:36The traitors he feared never had the chance to strike
32:39I silenced them first
32:41And the commanders he trusted with his army were placed there by my hand
32:45One by one paid for in blood
32:47Without me
32:48He couldn't have held a border crossing
32:51Let alone flow
32:53Celeste didn't mourn
32:54She stripped his estate clean
32:56Jewelry, gold, every coin she could find
32:59Then she was gone
33:01She went back to Marcus
33:02But the terms had changed
33:04He didn't want a Luna this time
33:06He took her as a mistress
33:07I ran into her yesterday
33:09A high-end perfume shop near the harbor
33:11I was holding a bottle
33:13A rare blend when she reached over and plucked it straight out of my hand
33:16I'll take all of these
33:18She told the clerk
33:19She was draped in diamonds
33:21Her soul was the same toxic green as always been
33:24She looked me over
33:25Oh, Zara, she said
33:27Perfume seems a bit pointless for you, doesn't it?
33:30She leaned in
33:31Expensive wine on her breath
33:33It's not as if your man can stand up to get close enough to smell it
33:36A little gasp
33:38A hand over her mouth
33:39Eyes wide with performed regret
33:41That was awful of me
33:43You don't mind, do you?
33:45I smiled
33:45Not at all
33:46I said
33:47Take them all
33:48The clerk looked baffled
33:50I didn't explain
33:51There is no point arguing with a woman who's already walking toward her own end
33:56She just doesn't know the road she is on yet
33:59It was late
34:00Thorn Harbor was in a hard rain
34:02My headguard appeared in the doorway
34:04His face tight
34:06Lupin is at the front gate, Luna
34:07He has been dragging himself through the mud for the better part of an hour
34:11He won't leave
34:12I walked out to the entrance and looked through the iron bars
34:45He was there, soaked in blood
34:46Slamming his fists against his own useless legs
34:49The sound of it got swallowed up by the thunder
34:51When he finally ran out of breath
34:53He looked up at me
34:55He looked small
34:56The arrogance was gone
34:57What was left underneath wasn't much
35:00Zara
35:00Like he said
35:01His voice doing something approximating humility
35:05I made a mistake
35:07Come back
35:10Come back
35:12The Luna title, it's yours
35:14Truly this time
35:15We can rebuild
35:17Together
35:18Like before
35:19We can take it all back
35:21I looked at his soul
35:22Thick, oily green
35:24Bottomless with it
35:25He wasn't performing
35:26He was genuinely drowning in regret
35:28That almost made it worse
35:30Lucian
35:31You still don't understand what you had
35:33I was never your Luna
35:34Because you became king
35:36You were only ever king
35:38Because I chose to stand beside you
35:40I turned my back on you
35:42Walked toward the warm lights of the estate
35:44Lock the gates
35:46If he sets foot on this land again
35:48You have my permission
35:49I'm permission to treat him accordingly
35:51The iron gates slammed shut
35:53The sound cut through the rain like a verdict
35:55He was still screaming my name
35:58When I walked through the front door
35:59I didn't look back
36:01But that door was never opening again
36:03Celeste started
36:04The report arrived this morning
36:06History repeated itself down to the last detail
36:09Marcus worked her until there was nothing left to call
36:12And they carried her body out of his estate
36:14Someone noted the scent still on her
36:16The perfume she'd snatched from my hands in that shot
36:19She was wearing it when she died
36:22Lucian heard the news from his room
36:24He didn't grieve
36:25He didn't rage
36:26Good
36:27She watched me fall and ran straight to another man's bed
36:30I gave up everything in this life for her
36:33And that's how she repays it?
36:35He beat his fists against the wheels of his chair
36:38Until his knuckles bled
36:39I never should have poisoned Zara
36:41I never should have chosen Celeste over Zara
36:43I was still holding the report when I heard the bedroom door
36:46I crumpled the paper in my fist
36:48Kyle walked in
36:49I turned toward the window
36:51The sun had gone down
36:53I was just...
36:54Before I could finish
36:56He reached out and took the crumpled note from my hand
36:59He smoothed it flat
37:00Then lifted it to the light
37:02Then he lowered it and looked straight at me
37:04You're not blind in the way you let everyone believe, are you?
37:09My throat closed
37:10I couldn't find a single word
37:12I looked into his soul
37:13It was burning
37:15It was sharp
37:16And a small orange
37:17It was healing
37:18Don't I deserve the truth?
37:21I marked you
37:22I made you my mate
37:23I would have protected you regardless
37:25Blind, wolfless, it didn't matter
37:28But for a year you let me believe I understood you
37:32And I didn't
37:33The blind girl in the cripple
37:35Two people who had made an art form of being something they weren't
37:39Standing in this room in the dark
37:41Every mask we'd ever worn was gone
37:43He turned for the door
37:44And I felt something I hadn't felt in two lifetimes
37:47Genuine terror
37:48I threw myself off the bed and wrapped my arms around him
37:53Held on
37:53I could feel the anger in him
37:55But underneath it
37:57His soul was already shifting
37:59The orange queen
38:00Bleeding toward something else
38:02The harder I held on
38:04The faster it faded
38:05My voice came out small
38:07I pressed my face against his back and just held on
38:10His soul turned pink
38:12His pride hadn't moved
38:14He was still standing there
38:15Every muscle locked against me
38:17But his heart had already answered
38:19I came around to face him
38:21Pressed my cheek against his chest and listened
38:25His heartbeat was fast
38:26Uneven
38:27His soul was so pink it was almost blinding
38:30Kyle
38:31I steadied my voice as best I could
38:34That wasn't the only thing I lied about
38:37This was the secret I'd carried through two lives without telling a single person
38:40I see souls
38:42I can read the truth inside people
38:44He went completely still
38:45And I know what's coming
38:48The werewolf world is about to burn
38:51Thorn harbor will be under siege
38:53I looked up at him
38:55In my last life
38:56You died when the city walls fell
38:58His breathing changed
38:59I searched his soul one last time
39:01Not a flicker of doubt
39:03Not a trace of fear
39:05Only gold appeared
39:07Shimmering gold
39:08Do you believe me?
39:09I asked
39:10He didn't answer with words
39:12He pulled me into his chest
39:14Both arms no space between us
39:16And buried his face against my neck
39:18I believe in you
39:22That's the only thing in this world I'm sure of
39:25Five hours
39:25That is what it took to dismiss
39:27Kyle gave me the Alpha War seal
39:30And put every warrior in the pack under my command
39:32We didn't just hold Thorn harbor
39:34We took the fight to the Alpha King's fortresses
39:37Then came the first night of the great siege
39:39The boss army hit the valley
39:40A sea of blackbird and wall to wall
39:43As far as the dark was seen
39:45Kyle sat in his chair at the edge of the fortress wall
39:48Watching it come
39:49Then he stood up
39:50Not in our bedroom
39:51Not in the dark
39:52No one could see
39:53In front of every soul on that night
39:55He shrugged off the heavy coat he'd hidden behind
39:58For seven years and let it drop
39:59His bones began to crack the ship
40:01He transformed
40:03A massive silver wolf
40:05He was huge
40:06Larger than any Alpha in history
40:07His fur shimmered like liquid metal in the dark
40:10He stood on the edge of the fortress wall
40:12And he let out a howl that shook the buried cloud
40:14Every wolf on that field
40:16Ally and enemy alike
40:17Dropped their heads not from orders
40:19From something older than orders
40:20Seven years of buried power
40:22Of swallowed rage
40:23Of playing the broken man
40:25While the world underestimated him
40:26He snapped his head around
40:28Before the echo had died
40:29That silver gaze cut straight through the smoke
40:31Through the fire
40:32Through everything between us
40:34And found me
40:34I felt it the moment it landed
40:36Not just a look
40:38Something that went all the way down to the bone
40:40Like a string that he taught over two lifetimes
40:43Had finally been released
40:45Faded Napalm
40:46He had kept his wolf locked away for seven years
40:48The bond had been sealed with it
40:50But now his wolf was fully awake
40:52And everything that he could help back came through at once
40:55He shifted back
40:57Dropped one knee on the stone
40:58Chest heaving
40:59Hands braced against the ground
41:01Trumbling
41:02When he looked up at me
41:04It was like the first one
41:05Like he was seeing something
41:07He'd been reaching toward
41:08Without knowing it
41:09It's you
41:10His voice was right
41:11It was always you
41:15The moon goddess
41:16Didn't give you to me
41:17For your gift
41:19She gave you to me
41:20Because you're mine
41:22I felt the truth of it
41:23In my own head
41:24Every piece of it
41:25Clicking into place
41:26All at once
41:27The jolt
41:28When our fingers
41:28First touched
41:29At the meeting hall
41:30The way his hands
41:31Could feel the pain
41:32Came out of my skull
41:33The suffocating dread
41:34Every time he wrecked the room
41:35I don't have a wolf
41:37So the bond
41:38Had come through quietly
41:39A whisper where it should have been born
41:42But it had always been there
41:43From the very first moment
41:45When he reached out
41:46And touched his knee
41:47Our blood had already made his choice
41:50Take your place
41:51As Alpha King
41:53The Grand Hall
41:54Was in ruins around him
41:55Dust still settling
41:56From the siege
41:57And Zara
41:59Shall be your Luna
42:00Kyle didn't hesitate
42:01No
42:02One word
42:03It landed in that hall
42:05Like a stone
42:05Dropped into stone
42:06I'm issuing two commands
42:09First
42:10We are establishing
42:12A dual kingship
42:14Zara and I rule together
42:17As equals
42:18The silence cracked
42:19Impossible
42:21There has never been
42:22A woman on that throne
42:24Kyle stepped up
42:25Onto the platform
42:26He looked out across the council
42:28Every face
42:29Every objection
42:30With the kind of calm
42:31That has nothing left to prove
42:32When Thorn Harbor
42:34Was under siege
42:35Zara stood on the front lines
42:37Beside me
42:38Every wound I took
42:39She felt
42:41Every sacrifice I made
42:43She had already paid
42:45A higher price for
42:46He brought his hand down
42:47Flat on the stone table
42:48The crack of it echoed
42:50Without her
42:51I'd be in an unmarked grave
42:52On the battlefield
42:54You don't get to erase
42:55What she built
42:55Just because she isn't
42:56What you expected
43:00I am the Alpha King
43:02And so is she
43:04Alpha King
43:05He leaned forward
43:06Voice dropping
43:07If anyone here
43:08Has a problem with that
43:09Step forward now
43:11No one moved
43:12I have spent seven years
43:13Being underestimated
43:14I have no patience
43:15Left for it
43:16Not for myself
43:16And not for her
43:18The bond had been a river
43:19With no outlet for years
43:20The night the war ended
43:22The dam broke
43:22He marked me
43:23The moment his teeth
43:24Found the back of my neck
43:25Something detonated
43:26Beneath my skin
43:27Not pain
43:28Or not only pain
43:29Something that felt like
43:31Being struck by lightning
43:32From the inside
43:33My bones began to shift
43:34I screamed
43:35Kyle didn't let go
43:36He pulled me harder
43:37Against his chest
43:38And held on
43:39His soul blazing gold
43:40In my sight
43:41Steady as a thick star
43:42An anchor in the middle
43:43Of everything coming apart
43:45Something that had been
43:46Waiting under my skin
43:47For 17 years
43:48Was finally waking up
43:49It was never missing
43:50It was just too powerful
43:51To surface on its own
43:52It needed something
43:53Equally matched
43:54To call it out
43:55I shifted
43:56White
43:56Pure
43:56Absolute white
43:57A wolf larger than
43:59Any female in recorded history
44:00Her coat caught the moonlight
44:01The way fresh snow
44:02Catches it from within
44:04Kyle's silver wolf
44:05Circled me
44:06Once twice
44:07Three times
44:08Then he stopped
44:09Pressed his massive head
44:11Against my neck
44:12And let out a sound
44:13So low and so full
44:14It barely qualified
44:15As a sound at all
44:17The elders hadn't moved
44:18In the old legends
44:20The white wolf
44:20Is the living avatar
44:21Of the moon goddess
44:22She hadn't walked
44:24The earth in 500 years
44:25I had never been broken
44:27My wolf had never been missing
44:29She was just waiting
44:30For the one person
44:31Strong enough
44:31To bring her home
44:32Kyle shifted back
44:34He pulled me into his lap
44:36And held me there
44:36Both of us
44:37Still catching our breath
44:39The soul
44:40As I looked at it
44:41I had no words
44:42Golden pink
44:43Woven together
44:44So completely
44:45They'd become a single color
44:47That didn't exist
44:48Anywhere else
44:50I knew
44:51Said into my hair
44:52From the moment
44:52You chose me at the ball
44:55I didn't know what you were
44:58But I knew you were something
44:59The world hadn't seen before
45:02You were just waiting
45:03For someone to finally find you
45:05I never let myself dream
45:06This far in my last life
45:08I was too busy
45:09Holding someone else
45:10To ever look up for myself
45:11Now I sat at the highest seat
45:13In the council hall
45:14Kyle beside me
45:16Every elephant
45:17Running in half of heads
45:18The intelligence network
45:20Was mine
45:20The land rights
45:22Were mine
45:22To grant or revoke
45:23The power
45:24I had spent a lifetime
45:25Building for someone else
45:26It was finally
45:27In my own hands
45:28The queens
45:28And then they brought in
45:29Lucian
45:31He dragged himself
45:32Across the stone floor
45:33On his hands
45:34He reached my boots
45:35And stretched out
45:36One trembling hand
45:37Toward the hem of my robes
45:38A guard stepped forward
45:40His sword flashed
45:42The blade stopped
45:43An inch from Lucian's fingers
45:44Lucian didn't even register
45:46He just started screaming
45:48This isn't right
45:49That seat belongs to me
45:52You were my instrument Zara
45:54I promised to make you my Luna
45:56Why isn't that enough for you?
45:58Get down
45:59Help me up there
46:00That's where I'm supposed to be
46:02I looked at him for a long moment
46:03I remembered the last life
46:05The rebel wolves had us surrounded
46:07He didn't reach for me
46:09He didn't hesitate
46:10He turned and ran
46:11And when they caught him anyway
46:13He offered me up
46:14To buy himself another day
46:15And at the very end
46:16He was the one
46:17Who forced the wolf's band
46:19Down my throat
46:19He was the one
46:21Who gave Celeste
46:21My title and my burial
46:23He threw my body
46:24To the crows
46:25And now he was
46:26On the floor of my hall
46:27Demanding I come down
46:28And handed our back to him
46:30I looked at his soul
46:31There was nothing left to me
46:33Hold him
46:34The guards pinned him to the stone
46:36He thrashed
46:37He tried to bite
46:38He screamed until his voice cracked
46:40They forced his jaw open
46:42And I poured the wolf's bane myself
46:44A quick death would have been mercy
46:46And I had none left to give him
46:48This was something else
46:50A slow, total erasure
46:52First
46:52The taste would go
46:54Then the smell of air
46:55Then the light
46:56Fading at the edges
46:57Dimming inward
46:58Then sound
46:59Then touch
47:00Then nothing at all
47:01A living body
47:03With no world left inside it
47:04Trapped in the dark
47:05He had always carried
47:06With nothing for company
47:07But his own guilt
47:08It took a week
47:09The guard came to me
47:10On a quiet morning
47:11And delivered the news
47:12Without ceremony
47:13Lucian was dead
47:15Died in total silence
47:17Total darkness
47:18Without a single sensation
47:20To mark the end
47:21What should we do with the body?
47:23I didn't look up for my work
47:24Take it outside the territory
47:25No retts
47:27No marker
47:28Leave nothing
47:29I gave his remains
47:31Exactly what he gave mine
47:32Down to the last detail
47:34The account was closed
47:36The fire had burned down to embers
47:39The room was almost quiet
47:42Kyle's arms came around my waist
47:44From behind
47:45His breath was warm
47:47And even against my neck
47:51You went to see him today?
47:53I did
47:55I watched a monster
47:56Reach the end he earned
47:57I leaned back into him
47:59Are you jealous of a dead man, Kyle?
48:02A low sound in his chest
48:03Not quite a laugh
48:04He reached up slowly
48:05And found the knot
48:06Of the silk blindfold
48:07I still wore in public
48:08Worked it loose
48:10Let it fall
48:11The moonlight came
48:12Through the window
48:13Neither of us spoke
48:14For a while
48:15Then he took my hand
48:16And guided it to his chest
48:17Pressed it flat
48:18Right above his heart
48:19Zara, tell me what color it is
48:21I laughed
48:22Soft, surprised by it
48:23I closed my eyes
48:24I closed my eyes and turned everything I had toward him
48:26This man
48:27Who gave me his trust
48:28Before I deserved it
48:29Who stood up in front of an army
48:30To unmake seven years
48:32Of his own carefully constructed lie
48:33Who fought his way to a throne
48:35He didn't want
48:36Just so I could stand beside him
48:38On equal ground
48:39His soul
48:39I don't have the words for it
48:41Even now
48:42A pillar of gold
48:43Deep and unwavering
48:44And running through the heart of it
48:45A tide of pink so rich
48:47And so dark
48:47It looked like the last light
48:49Of a sunset
48:49Seen through clear water
48:50The kind of color time
48:52Can't bleach
48:52It's the most beautiful thing
48:54I've ever seen
48:55And I've seen a lot of ugly things
48:58His arms tightened around me
49:01Describe it
49:01I want to hear it
49:02I turned in his arms
49:04Found his chest
49:05Pressed my lips
49:06To the place above his heart
49:08And held them there
49:09I don't think any language
49:10Has the right words
49:11I looked up at him
49:12But I have the rest of my life to try
