00:11compete with my adopted sister alice for the alpha's bond before we left mother fixed my
00:16collar then quietly pulled a thread from my sash indecent shameless alice swept off her jacket and
00:24draped it over my shoulders everyone praised her the alpha chose her i knelt before my parents when
00:31we got home swore it wasn't intentional they didn't believe me father scoffed you pulled that
00:36stunt for attention you disgraced this family and now you want to blame someone else mother sighed
00:43you lost a bond that's all don't be so dramatic alice married the alpha in glory i was exiled to
00:49the frost border and i died there frozen before i took my last breath i found out mother hadn't
00:55pulled that thread she had cut it on purpose then i was reborn mother smiled and reached for my sash
01:03let me tighten this we can't have you embarrassing yourself her fingers slipped toward her sleeve
01:09a blade that blade i knew it the one that ruined my life the first time i could still feel
01:14the frost
01:15border kneeling in the snow freezing alice standing over me in her fur coat eva all i told mother was
01:22i was afraid you'd outrank me i never imagined she'd go that far the cold never left me i stared
01:29at her
01:29soft well-kept hands my heart hammered she was still smiling the blade already out moving toward my sash
01:38i let my knees buckle threw myself forward straight into her she didn't see it coming
01:43her hand jerked the blade cut through the air and caught the back of her own hand
01:48the blade clattered to the floor alice stood nearby waiting for the show she wore a gown of
01:53shimmering silk custom made by mother her sash tied perfectly before she could react my fingers
01:57found her sash one quick pull it came loose i straightened up fast and put on my most panicked face
02:05mother are you all right i'm so sorry i slipped hissing through her teeth clumsy girl
02:11we're about to walk into the alpha's estate and you can't even stand on your own two feet
02:19alice stepped forward with a handkerchief and dabbed at the wound she shot me a look of pure
02:23contempt then turned on the sympathy don't be too hard on her mother she was raised in a backwater
02:28farming pack she's just not used to all this father stood in the doorway hands clasped behind
02:34his back he checked the hourglass frowned enough do you have any idea what it means to keep the alpha
02:40waiting he didn't glance at me once his eyes went straight to alice soft you look beautiful today alice
02:48dignified keep an eye on your sister when we arrive don't let her embarrass this family
02:52of course father i'll take good care of her she lifted her chin like she'd already won i kept my
02:58eyes down and smiled mother's hand was still bleeding the handkerchief had soaked through
03:05but we were running out of time and she never got around to my sash instead she reached for a
03:10velvet
03:10box alice this is the hail family heirloom priceless she lifted out a necklace crystals catching the
03:17light and clasped it around alice's neck herself thank you mother i'll wear it with honor i stood
03:22to the side empty-handed nothing around my waist but a plain white ribbon mother seemed to remember
03:27i existed she rummaged through a corner drawer and pulled out a purse full of hair prints old ones
03:31most of them the gold paint was already flaking off here eva put these on don't go saying i play
03:37favorites your dress is so plain anyway these will match just fine she dropped them into my hand
03:43without even checking if they'd work father watched from across the room not a word of objection
03:47he nodded alice was raised with us she has refinement grace the air bloom suits her eva spent
03:55years in the farming pack putting something fine on her would just look out of place i squeezed those
04:00cheap pins as my fist until the metal bit into my palm the farming pack why was i even there
04:05because
04:06when my parents were running from their enemies i was dead weight so they left me behind they only
04:11brought me back because the alpha came calling his family had an old betrothal agreement the first
04:17born hail daughter alice was beloved but on paper she was adopted they needed me just long enough
04:22to put alice in the alpha's bed i never understood in my last life how my own parents could do
04:26this to
04:27me not until the very end dying at the frost border two guards stood nearby talking they didn't know i
04:32could still hear them hail is cold-blooded leaving his own flesh and blood here to die all for some
04:37adopted girl that's his mistress's daughter his actual blood his wife found out years ago and she
04:42brought the girl home called her adopted then spent every year since grinding the real daughter
04:47into the dirt so that was the truth
04:54mother sacrificed her own child to keep her husband father looked at me and saw nothing worth
04:58keeping i crushed those pins in my hand and let them bend right in front of me alice on mother's
05:03arm
05:03father looking on with nothing but warmth a perfect happy family and then there was me
05:11father mother we should go father's eyes cut to me nobody asked you to hurry us along have some
05:17manners when you're in front of the alpha keep your mouth shut watch alice follow her lead
05:24if you ruin this i will have you sent to the frost border myself i said nothing the frost border
05:29i'd
05:30already been there already knelt in that snow until i couldn't feel my legs threats lose their edge the
05:34second time around the carriage rolled toward the alpha's estate it was not a quiet ride alice had
05:40taken the best seat she kept touching the necklace turning the crystals in the light admiring her own
05:45reflection the alpha's head steward zoe was riding with us officially she was there to attend to us
05:50in reality she was watching taking stock of who we were alice didn't seem to notice or care
05:57zoe what do you think of the necklace mother had it set aside just for me zoe said nothing she
06:03was
06:03pale an unhand pressed to her temple jaw tight i recognized it immediately in my last life alice had
06:09done the same thing talked the whole ride over loud and relentless but she'd gotten lucky by the time
06:15we arrived mrs walker's migraines had cleared up and alice had been ready she'd stolen my remedy formula
06:21earlier passed it off as her own mrs walker loved influence this time alice wasn't getting that chance
06:31i reached into my sleeve and pulled out a small lacquered box inside were a few dark brown pellets
06:37a remedy i'd learned from an old farmer back in the farming pack i held them out to zoe you
06:42don't look
06:42well these are cooling relief pellets my own formula let one dissolve under your tongue it should help
06:49alice's head snapped toward me excuse me what is that supposed to be you're gonna feed her some
06:54backwater remedy you cooked up in a barn zoe had been on the edge of nausea the whole ride that
06:59shriek nearly pushed her over she shot alice one withering look then turned back to me her nose
07:05twitched a faint drift of mint and aged wood had already begun to fill the carriage cutting through
07:09the stuffy heat she took the pellets placed one under her tongue within moments the tension left her face
07:17she exhaled long and slow color crept back into her cheeks where did you learn that eva from a healer
07:24i shook my head heat stroke was common on the farm you learn what works nothing impressive i'm afraid
07:30zoe smiled if this is nothing impressive our pack healer back at the estate should be embarrassed
07:36alice twisted her handkerchief in her lap my semi-searing nest she just got lucky zoe didn't even look at
07:44her
07:44mrs walker values silence she has no patience for noise that shut alice up zoe word her voice and
07:49turned to me today the alpha will also be present he runs cold he has no interest in women who
07:55perform
07:55for attention and mrs walker she judges character above everything else she has no respect for women
08:01who use their looks as currency i'll keep that in mind thank you zoe the carriage slowed we had arrived
08:17the moment alice stepped out every head turned that shimmering silk caught the sunlight like it was
08:22made for exactly this moment is that alice hale she's stunning the whispers rippled through the crowd
08:28alice soaked up every word she glanced back at me slow deliberate a smirk i was wearing a simple white
08:34dress standing next to her i looked like her handmaid i wasn't worried the best part of any
08:40trap is the waiting the banquet began alice moved straight to the harp and played for mrs walker
08:46she was good and she knew it mrs walker gave a small measured nod that was enough for alice
08:52she floated off the stage spotted me at the edge of the room and made her way over wine glass
08:57in hand eva
09:00stop hiding in the corner come toast the ladies with me i knew exactly what she was about to do
09:06last time she had stumbled right here or pretended to she'd thrown wine all over me dragged me down
09:12with her and my sash had snapped on the way down sammy sat up sammy smile sammy two steps away
09:17oh eva
09:18watch out she lurched toward me i stepped aside she caught nothing but air the momentum took her straight
09:23down hard onto both knees and the sash i had loosened back at the house the one she never noticed
09:29finally gave way that beautiful shimmering skirt slid straight down all the way to her ankles beneath
09:34it a pair of pink underwear embroidered with little devil motifs in plain view of everyone the entire
09:41room went silent alice froze she felt the cold air first then she looked down and screamed chaos erupted
09:50women screamed but above it all i felt it a gaze heavy cold from the shadow of the second floor
09:57balcony
09:57he was watching
10:06alice scrambled to grab her skirt
10:09wine splashed up across her underwear if it could have gotten worse it just did the ladies around
10:14her recoiled fans raised faces turned away mrs walker's expression went stone cold what exactly does the
10:20hal family teach their daughters i was already moving i picked up an outer jacket and draped it
10:24around alice's shoulders before she could catch her breath oh sweetheart how did this happen
10:29i sighed the kind that says i love you but i told you so i warned you about this dress
10:33the fit was too tight
10:35i said it would give way but you wanted the silhouette and now look alice looked up at me pure
10:43venom
10:44you did this i know it was you i blinked spread my hands wide alice i was across the room
10:50everyone
10:50saw you walk over everyone saw you fall the women around us were already nodding she made a spectacle
10:55of herself for attention and now she wants to pin it on her sister lovely upbringing alice had nothing
11:00left to say she covered her face and wept
11:08the room dissolved into chaos maids swarmed alice and rushed her off to change the commotion had done
11:13exactly what i expected mrs walker's migraine had returned she sat with two fingers pressed to her
11:18temple face drained of color that is when lady allen appeared a family friend of the hales father had
11:25personally asked her to smooth things over for alice today please don't be upset mrs walker
11:31i'm sure the dress was simply ill-fitted alice actually brought a gift for you today
11:38why don't we have her present it now as an apology alice came back red-eyed but she straightened
11:44up at that she snapped her fingers and a maid brought out the gift box i already knew what was
11:49inside i knew this family too well whatever it was it would be extravagant and entirely wrong
11:53they measured worth in gold and gemstones they assumed everyone else did too what they didn't
11:58understand about mrs walker a woman who had lived in wealth her entire life was that nothing irritated
12:03her more than excess for the sake of it alice lifted the lid with a flourish mrs walker this is
12:10a ruby
12:10crystal crown custom crafted just for you the artisans worked through the night for an entire month
12:17mrs walker stared at it you had craftsmen lose sleep for a month over something completely useless
12:24what a waste of people alice's confidence collapsed she sank to her knees trembling mrs walker pressed
12:30her hand harder to her temple and said nothing i only wanted to show you how much the silence stretched
12:35i stepped forward quietly mrs walker if you'll allow me i may be able to help with the headache
12:42she looked at me skeptical you practice medicine just some calming herbs something i picked up along the way
12:51i lit one end of the incense powder and set it on the table beside her the scent unfurled slowly
12:56delicate cool herbal mrs walker drew a breath the pain didn't vanish but it pulled back enough to
13:01breathe enough to relax the furrow between her brows that's lovely what is it i heard you've suffered with
13:07headaches for years i brought this back from the farm it's what i always used nothing fancy but it
13:13works mrs walker nodded slowly the way she looked at me had changed you're a thoughtful girl out of
13:18the corner of my eye a tall figure had stopped at the moon gate at the edge of the garden
13:22still watching
13:23that had to be nathan the alpha himself alice was still on her knees behind me eyes fixed on my
13:28back
13:29like two burning coals lady allen whispered something to mrs walker who finally waved a hand
13:33alice could get up she was directed to a seat in the corner by the middle of the banquet mrs
13:38walker
13:38had my hand in hers asking about my life my interests what i like to eat she was already looking
13:43at
13:44maliki a daughter-in-law she called over a maid to bring me a better pour of wine the maid
13:48crossed the
13:48room and stumbled just slightly just enough to splash wine across my sleeve my sincerest apologies miss
13:54eva clumsy fool get out of my sight the maid scurried off head bowed and as she passed alice
14:00their eyes met quick deliberate the next second my necklace my necklace is gone the family heirloom
14:08mother's necklace where is it
14:14every head in the room turned mrs walker's expression soured stop shrieking if it's lost
14:21have someone look for it alice turned to me tears already forming just now eva was the closest one
14:27to me could it be that she she let the sentence hang lady allen stepped in right on cue if
14:35something
14:35valuable has gone missing perhaps we should search everyone present it would clear eva's name if nothing
14:42else i held out both arms by all means search me i won't have anyone saying i put myself above
14:50my own
14:50sister a flicker of satisfaction crossed alice's face she nodded to the maid the same one who had
14:55spilled the wine to come forward and search me the maid ran her hands along my sides patted down my
14:59sleeves
15:00then reached into my inner sleeve pocket she pulled something out the room leaned in it wasn't the
15:04necklace it was a man's handkerchief deep blue silk embroidered with cloud patterns the room erupted
15:09elice pressed a hand to her mouth eva do you have a secret lover our family holds a bedrothal with
15:16the alpha do you understand what this means a man's hand to catch his most personal item if father
15:21finds out you'll hang for this eva i would not have expected this of you the ladies around me had
15:29already begun to whisper eyes sharp heads shaking ailey snatched the handkerchief wait there's writing on
15:35it she snapped it open and read aloud i want to be tangled with you on every night the full
15:43moon
15:44rises she looked up at me triumphant waiting for me to crumble to drop to my knees and to beg
15:49i stood
15:49exactly where i was calm that's quite a performance alice but you've overplayed it
15:58i turned to face her since when do you have the gift of prophecy alice she went what i don't
16:04know
16:05what you're talking about the handkerchief was folded the writing was on the inside completely
16:10hidden so how did you know there were words on it before anyone unfolded it did you write them
16:15yourself or did you prepare this whole thing in advance alice's face went rigid her pupils shrank
16:21a bead of sweat traced down her temple i i nothing came out and you we both know you slipped
16:28that
16:29handkerchief into my sleeve yourself so let's skip the act who do you belong to where did you get it
16:34who told you to plant it she had already collapsed to the floor she looked up and her eyes went
16:39straight
16:40to alice alice's composure shattered don't look at me your hands are dirty not mine then a voice cut
16:46through the room from the doorway low unhurried absolute something went missing from my stables
16:51a few days ago so that's where it ended up the entire room turned nathan walked in like the air
16:57itself had decided to move out of his way he stopped beside me read my words embroidered in
17:03my hand tell me miss alice how exactly did you come to recognize them alice's knees gave out she
17:12caught herself on the edge of a chair you bribed a servant in my own estate you stole my personal
17:17propriety and you used it to frame my guest nathan said it quietly that made it worse alice opened her
17:23mouth closed it there was nothing to say mrs walker rose from her seat her whole body shaking and slammed
17:29her palm on the table she ran her schemes all the way up to the alpha himself the audacity someone
17:35deal
17:35with her the two older women moved in fast they grabbed alice by the shoulders and didn't hold back
17:40the sound of it echoed through the hall by the third strike alice's face had begun to swell blood at
17:45the
17:45corner of her mouth hair coming undone she was sobbing gasping calling for her parents i watched
17:52without moving for the first time it felt satisfying nathan glanced sideways at me just for a moment i
17:57inclined my head my respects alpha thank you for clearing my name what had started as a proper
18:03banquet had been reduced to rubble when it was finally over mrs walker took my hand in both of hers
18:08and walked me to the entrance herself apologizing the whole way making sure everyone saw the message was
18:13unmistakable we're now circling back all warmth and flattery funny how quickly the room turns when
18:19the alpha's mother is holding your hand i settled into the carriage and glanced at alice her face was
18:27swollen on both sides she glared at me from her corner one hand pressed to her cheek somehow my
18:32parents had already heard they were both in the carriage father sat with his chest heaving jaw set
18:36saying nothing mother was dabbing ointment on alice's face tears streaming down her own
18:42you're a curse on this family wasn't it enough did you have to destroy your own sister you knew what
18:47she was doing why did you say something earlier instead of letting the whole family be humiliated
18:51i leaned back against the carriage wall and closed my eyes that's interesting mother when alice was
18:57planting stolen evidence on me did she stop to think of me as family if that accusation had stuck it
19:02would
19:06the other hand showed up i turned my head his palm cut through empty air he held it there for
19:10a
19:10moment suspended then dropped it and looked away we'll deal with you at home the carriage
19:16then it started moving along the road had narrowed the turns were sharper we were climbing
19:20cliffs on one side a sheer drop on the other the horses screamed something had screwed up or worse
19:25and suddenly they were bolting full sprint no control what's happening stop the carriage someone
19:31stop it alice was thrown sideways tumbling across the carriage floor screaming i grabbed the window
19:37frame and held on the driver was gone jumped or thrown either way no one was at the reins my
19:42stomach
19:43dropped and not from the road this hadn't happened in my last life they were moving faster than i'd
19:47expected i'd rattled them today and they were improvising
19:53the horse had been drugged i was certain of it a staged accident a body at the bottom of a
19:59cliff
19:59but something didn't add up father valued his own life above everything so did mother so did alice
20:06known of them would ride this carriage off a cliff unless they had a way out then i saw it
20:11father had
20:11already pulled alice and mother close his hand reached beneath the bench a hidden compartment and
20:17came out with thick padded cushions they came prepared the plan wasn't to die with the plan was to throw
20:23me
20:23out and walk away from the ground the carriage lurched my grip slipped and i went through the door
20:29the fall never came an arm caught me mid-air iron solid and pulled me hard against a chest i
20:34knew that
20:34scent before i saw his face the alpha the carriage had ground to a halt behind us a wolf had
20:41come out of
20:42the tree line and taken down the horses hanging besides dropping them to their hands i looked up
20:47nathan looked down those dark eyes held mine for a moment eva it seems there are quite a few people
20:53with an interest in your life ending he set me on my feet and stepped away not far from us
21:00the three
21:01of them were crawling out of the wreckage scraped shaken alive nathan walked to the nearest horse
21:07ran a finger along its mouth and brought it to his nose stimulant poison drives them into a frenzy
21:15the horse would have been dead within 10 miles i stood and watched my parents check themselves
21:19over with trembling hands relieved to be breathing relieved their plan had almost worked whatever had
21:25been left whatever small stubborn part of me had still wanted them to be my family it went quiet
21:30for good nathan came back to where i stood and held out his hand get in my carriage i'll take
21:36you home
21:41maybe the carriage accident had simply been too terrifying three days later the alpha's wedding
21:46gifts arrived at the hail house an entire procession through the front gate boxes carried
21:50by uniformed attendants the kind of display the whole street would remember in my last life this
21:55moment had belonged to alice now it was mine zoe stood in the main hall and read from the gift
22:00register item by item unhurried with every entry alice lost a little more color mother kept shifting
22:06in her seat throwing father pointed looks he cleared his throat and cut zoe off mid-sentence
22:12zoe regarding this marriage arrangement is there any room for the alpha to reconsider
22:18alice made some mistakes yes but she's accomplished well-bred eva grew up in a backwart farming pack
22:23she doesn't know our ways it's a lot to ask of her carrying the role of luna
22:28perhaps alice could accompany eva to the estate as a companion to the alpha
22:37she could support her sister from within the household
22:41a companion so luna was off the table now they were angling for mistress samey gold different door
22:47get alice inside the estate let her work her way up and find a way to put me back at
22:52the bottom
22:52zoe closed the register the look on her face made her opinion plain if mr hale truly wishes to put
22:58that forward alice will need to answer a question first on behalf of mrs walker if a servant at the
23:04alphas's estate is found to be lazy dishonest or worse disloyal to their master how should they be
23:10handled this was her moment forgiveness of course servants are people too the right approach is patience
23:17and reform casting them out would only make the alpha look cold and unforgiving
23:22she glanced at me when she finished satisfied with herself
23:28father nodded along beside her zoe turned to me miss eva your thoughts
23:38disloyalty is not a mistake you forgive once a servant betrays their master they are a liability
23:44not a person to be reformed it doesn't matter how close they are to the alpha himself if they break
23:49faith they go no exceptions how can you be so ruthless these are the alpha's own people
23:58that's exactly what mrs walker wanted to hear that's the kind of luna this pack needs
24:04mrs walker's exact words the second daughter of the hale family is never to set foot inside the
24:09alpha's mistake not once not ever and just like that i walked into the alpha's estate as the one and
24:15only luna dot alice's hatred could have set the house on fire that night she broke everything she could
24:21get her hands on dot bases ceramic jars decorative cake screaming and screaming and sobbing until her
24:26voice gave out between the crashes peasant worthless enough useless get a message to mr allen the old
24:39duke is looking for a new mate isn't he send alice i heard about this later mr allen was not
24:46simply an
24:47older man with a preference for young women he was past 70 violent by nature at least three women in
24:52his household had died under his roof what i couldn't understand even knowing everything i knew about
24:57about my father was why he would throw his beloved another place like that there was something he wasn't
25:02telling anyone not yet the day of our bonding ceremony the alpha's estate was lit up with every window
25:12more it was exactly grand and auto draw every eye in the region and cover what was happening at the
25:17hill house at the same time a plane carriage slipped out the back while no one was watching alice was
25:21inside dot found gagged with a silencing tonic father had made sure she couldn't make a sound the
25:27official story she'd been sent to the moon temple for reflection the truth she was delivered to the old
25:31duke through his back entrance like something being returned in my last life i was the one in that
25:36carriage i had sat in that dark jolting before i had understood me now it was alice
25:47turned i thought of the way she had stood over me in the snow and i felt nothing but cold
25:50satisfaction your own fears give to you alice i hope you receive it well the estate gates opened nathan
25:57stood in full ceremonial armor torches lining the path behind him he was always severe that face those
26:02eyes dot but in the amber light of the altar something in him softened just at the edges we
26:07completed the bonding ceremony dot afterward i sat on the edge of the bed gripping the sheets my heart
26:14louder than i wanted it to be i had clawed my way back to this moment reclaimed everything they had
26:20taken
26:20from me stop at this part i had no memory to draw from no experience no ninth and looked at
26:27me
26:29eva from tonight if the sky falls i'll be the one holding it up you are my only luna
26:36he tipped his head back and drained his cup i watched his throat move
26:42why did you help me because you're sharp and you don't flinch
26:49i don't need someone to stand behind me eva i need someone who can fight beside me
26:56that done till dawn he did sapping down
27:07next morning mrs walker took one look at the shadows under my zan beam
27:12she sat me down lifted a crown from its box and placed it on my head herself
27:19this was mine once it suits you better i heard about alice apparently she's been causing chaos at the
27:26old duke's estate
27:29robert allen that man is well she'll survive probably but but it won't be comfortable
27:41i had stopped wondering about alice whatever she was living through it wasn't good that was enough
27:47life inside the estate settle faster than i'd expected
27:50i moved through the household methodically one by one i found the one skimming betraying me
27:55and smiling to hide it i dealt with each of them cleanly dot
28:00after that the strap ran like water downhill no one tested me twice but nathan
28:05i've been off for several days running gray skies steady rain his study light burned past midnight
28:10he came to meet me or not at all his temper had a shorter fuse than usual when i brought
28:15food to
28:16his study one evening i found him with two fingers pressed to his temple
28:23face the same look i'd seen seen on mrs walker 100 times dot so it ran in the family
28:28this headache that never quite left i went back to my room and opened my remedy books
28:33i adjusted the formula added a measure of sacred head packed spring water and spent the better
28:37part of the night stitching a small sleep pillow by hand packing the herbs inside myself
28:42the next afternoon while nathan was out i slipped into his room and swapped his pillow for mine
28:47that night nathan came home late i was already in bed pretending to sleep
28:51half-conscious i felt the mattress sink beside me
29:01when i woke the next morning his side of the bed was already empty from the outer room i heard
29:06zoe
29:07surprised alpha you slept in today nathan's voice was unhurried slept deeply no headache
29:16i smiled to myself the pillow worked at dinner he reached over and placed a piece of fish in my
29:21bowl
29:21the pillow you made it i nodded he looked at me for a moment something unreadable in his eyes and
29:29then the corner of his mouth lifted the stitching is a bit rough but the scent i like it the
29:36stitching
29:36was fine he just wouldn't say what he actually meant after that the pillow was his alone no one
29:42was permitted to touch it he stopped walking around with that permanent scowl some evenings he'd call
29:46me into the study and teach me calligraphy my characters had always been crooked i grew up on
29:53the farm not in a classroom he'd wrap his hand around menine guide each stroke his chest against my back
30:00one evening i knocked over the ink he moved without thinking sleeve down to catch it and the cuff
30:04soaked through black i grabbed a cloth and dabbed at it it spread worse
30:11leave it it's just a robe i took it back to my room anyway and stayed up embroidering a cluster
30:16of valyrian grass over the stain nathan saw it and scoffed how childish then wore that robe every
30:24single day i wasn't looking for news about the hail family it kept arriving anyway alice was miserable at
30:35the duke's estate robert had particular tastes the smallest inconvenience earned a lashing alice was
30:42covered in marks but she was alive running entirely on hatred all of it pointed at me she had found
30:49her
30:49pudding though she gave the duke a tonic called it a stimulant something rare it worked well enough that
30:55he became very attached to her after that i laughed when i heard what it actually was it was the
31:01same
31:01compound used on the worst day of the carriage the frenzy drug just watered down enough to make an
31:07old man feel young for an hour he was devoted to her after that but my informant sent different news
31:14alice's people had been quietly buying cinnabar and liquid mercury separately both medicinal dot combined
31:20a lethal poison she wouldn't use it on robert he was her only shield which left one other target

31:34her move if she wanted to come for me i'd make it very easy for her i called my trusted
