01:40from then on my parents no longer kept me confined at home they hired private tutors and took me out

30:25drop mary into the ashford family and suffer dream on
30:34Don't be petty.
30:35If you don't want to lose me, then postpone the mating ceremony.
30:39I called my seven-year nemesis instead.
30:42I'm short a groom for today's mating ceremony.
30:45Care to do me a favor?
30:47Sylvia's really running a fever, and her wolf is weak.
30:51Every time she's been sick since we were kids, I've been by her side.
30:54I can't rest easy otherwise.
30:58Ethan's voice came through the phone, but it couldn't hurt me anymore.
31:02On my birthday, Sylvia got jostled at the high-end ball and ended up with bruises on her arm.
31:07He left me that same night to go tend to her dot on our anniversary.
31:10Sylvia got gossiped about at moonlight through me.
31:13Spring with Rukulkol called an Omega who latches onto others.
31:17She felt so wronged.
31:19Ethan left me to comfort her the entire night.
31:22Even the night before our wedding, Sylvia said she had a fever.
31:26He dropped me immediately and traveled across miles just to sit by her bedside.
31:35Ethan, I'm asking one last time, can you make it back for the noon ceremony or not?
31:42Three hours to the nearest airport.
31:43I can't make it.
31:45Just postpone the ceremony for one day, all right?
31:49Postpone?
31:50My family is decorating the wedding house with me right now.
31:53All our pack members and guests are either at the Moonbloom altar already or on their way.
31:58You're telling me to postpone?
32:00What am I supposed to tell them?!
32:05Lydia?
32:06Tell them what?
32:07That my fiancé is a thousand miles away with another she-wolf?
32:10That you're a cheating fiancé?!
32:13That she's a slut who stole you?!
32:17Lydia, what's between me and Sylvia isn't what you think.
32:19Don't be so petty.
32:24Petty?
32:25You and Sylvia should just get married on the spot signing your- your mate bond right now.
32:29Why waste all these years of mine?!
32:30Four years.
32:31I've watched their acting for four years.
32:32I'm tired.
32:33I delivered my final ultimatum dot.
32:34If you can't make it back today, we're done.
32:37Lydia, I understand you're emotionally unstable out of your jealousy,
32:40but like I said, I just can't make it back.
32:42If you don't want to lose me, then postpone the wedding!
32:46With that, he hung up in a huffed dot, as if I was the one in the wrong all-along
32:50dot.
32:50It's wrong.
32:51I brought this on, Seth Dot, but from now on, never again.
32:54People rushed in through the door.
32:56They saw the smashed picture frames and froze.
33:00Lydia, what happened?!
33:00What did that bastard Ethan say?!
33:03Don't hurt yourself.
33:05Let me smash.
33:07The wedding room was a disaster zone.
33:11Forget it.
33:12No wedding is better than this.
33:13I will tell your father to explain it to your grandfather.
33:19Who says I'm not getting married?
33:21WHAT?!
33:24I dialed my arch nemesis.
33:26Orion Silvermoon.
33:27The Silvermoon noble representative on the council.
33:29Future duke of Silvermoon dot back in school.
33:32I came from Shadowmoon commoners.
33:33He was Silvermoon nobility.
33:35We fought for every ranking.
33:36On the council.
33:37I represented the Shadowmoon district.
33:39While he led the younger generation of the noble faction.
33:42We argued countless times.
33:44For years.
33:44He blocked what was mine.
33:46And I took what was his.
33:47Everyone thought we were fire and ice.
33:53I was about to hang up when it connected.
33:56His voice carried a hint of hesitation.
33:58Hello?
33:59Lydia?
34:00Whatever.
34:01Orion Silvermoon was the only one I could think of who might actually say yes.
34:05When he found out I was getting married.
34:07He joked.
34:08Wouldn't it be great if you married me instead?
34:12Then we wouldn't have to be arch enemies anymore.
34:14Mating each other and becoming power couple.
34:16Today I could lose love.
34:18But I could not lose my dignity dot.
34:20This wedding must happen.
34:23Yeah, it's me.
34:24I, I'm short a groom for today's mating ceremony.
34:27Mr. Orion Silvermoon.
34:29Would you mind attending my wedding and signing a mating contract with me?
34:32Lydia, signing a mating contract?
34:34One second.
34:35Two seconds.
34:36Three.
34:37My heart pounded harder.
34:38Disappointment started to creep in.
34:41Lydia, what kind of joke is this?
34:43If, if you don't want to then forget-
34:45I do.
34:47You, you said yes?
34:49Yeah, I said yes.
34:51But let me make this clear.
34:53I'm not being just a tool.
34:55What do you mean?
34:56Orion Silvermoon doesn't wed a fake mate.
34:58I want a real one.
35:00Someone who can lie beside me.
35:02Someone I can feel flesh and blood, warmth.
35:05You understand?
35:07Deal.
35:10Deal.
35:14So, what do I need to do now?
35:15Get to the Moonbloom altar before 11am for our ceremony.
35:20Also, we need a wedding house.
35:22Got it.
35:23Leave that to me.
35:24I promise you won't be disappointed.
35:29Orion Silvermoon?
35:30Is that the same Orion Silvermoon you call your arch-nemese on the council?
35:33Yes.
35:34But that, that can't work.
35:35What if he takes advantage of you?
35:37What if he screws you over?
35:38Why not?
35:39Auntie, I think it's great.
35:40Orion Silvermoon.
35:41The council represent us just like Lydia, and he is the only heir of the Duke of Silvermoon.
35:46Way better than that two-tipping jerk, Ethan Ashford, who thinks his diplomatic official title makes him special.
35:51Orion Silvermoon and I were just using each other, Dot.
35:54But it didn't matter.
35:56All I wanted was for this ceremony to go on.
36:00You'd better think carefully.
36:01If you don't postpone and end up without a mate at the altar, your family will be the one humiliated
36:06in public.
36:06Either way, the Ashford family won't be attending.
36:09The wedding will not be delayed.
36:11Stop throwing a tantrum.
36:12Don't be so unreasonable.
36:13The Ashford family has noble blesestery.
36:16We're a political dynasty now.
36:17Everyone who married to our family is well-behaved and obedient.
36:20Lydia, you aren't checking to women's family.
36:22You she also he raw rink.
36:23Guy pien nigga fierce now.
36:25I hung up.
36:25Couldn't be bothered to listen to their nonsense anymore.
36:28Dot marry into the Ashford family and suffer dream on.
36:35I'll come back and bind with you.
36:36Everyone thought I'd swallow my pride and wait until the next moon.
36:39After all, I'd already waited for seven years.
36:41But that night, I took a ship across the western fjords for an arranged marriage.
36:46I showed up to the great solstice feast alone.
36:48The second Soren saw me, his eyes lit up.
36:50You said you didn't want to come, but here you are.
36:52Where do you think you're going?
36:53I shook his hand off.
36:55Those are your seats.
36:56Mine is over there.
36:56I pointed straight at the high jar's carved oak table.
36:59Ingrid shot me a venomous glare.
37:00How dare you wear that arm ring?
37:02Made the entire mead hall turn to look at us.
37:04Wait, is that the tear of Yggazigh?
37:07We were supposed to bind our souls at the temple of the Allfather that day,
37:10but my betrothée threw me out of the sacred grounds,
37:13then walked in with his childhood sweetheart instead.
37:17He looked at me like it was nothing.
37:19Ingrid's child needs a father so she could stay in the clan.
37:21Once we sever the blood oath, I'll come back and bind with you.
37:26Everyone thought I'd swallow my pride and wait until the next moon.
37:29After all, I'd already waited for seven years.
37:34But that night, I took a ship across the western fjords for an arranged marriage.
37:39I vanished from his world completely.
37:43Three years later, my husband and I flew our dragons back to the mainland for a grand ancestral blot.
37:49My husband had an urgent border skirmish to attend to, so he sent a beast and a handler to escort
37:54me.
37:54I walked out of the dragon docks.
37:56I walked into the arrival's courtyard and saw a warrior holding a parchment bearing my runic crest.
38:01I walked over and froze. Holding the parchment was my ex-betrothal Soren.
38:06He was craning his neck, looking past me at the incoming whitens.
38:09He had Ingrid with him and half his old raiding party.
38:12One of the warriors nudged him.
38:13Soren, isn't that your clinging admirer?
38:15That's Astrid.
38:16Soren looked at me. He looked surprised for a split second.
38:18Then he smirked.
38:20I told you all long ago. I knew she'd call back.
38:22The whole raiding party burst out laughing.
38:25Astrid vanished without a trace. Now she sees Sorden has plundered gold.
38:28She probably cries herself to sleep every night.
38:33One of them looked me up and down.
38:35Astrid, if you're here to see Sorden, why show up in plain wool?
38:38Couldn't you at least paint your face with war colors?
38:40Without Sorden, you can't even barter for a nice cloak.
38:44Pathetic.
38:45It was true.
38:46I used to spend hours getting ready for Seddon.
38:49Full braided hair, clan paints, fitted leathers and furs.
38:53Always making sure I looked perfect for him.
38:55But I didn't need to do that anymore, because I'm pregnant.
38:59And my husband refused to let me ride uncomfortably.
39:01He banned heavy chainmail.
39:03And had this plain toque spun by the light elves of Alfheim just for me.
39:07Listening to them mock me, it suddenly clicked.
39:09They only read the ruse on the garrison's dispatch.
39:12They had no idea the noble they were picking up was me.
39:18Since I wasn't saying anything, an old mutual friend stepped in, trying to play peacemaker.
39:23Astrid, glad to see you back.
39:25Solon actually spent years looking for you.
39:27He has been asking about you everywhere.
39:29Solon's smug smile stiffened.
39:30He cleared his throat and acted casually.
39:33Ingrid's kid starts shield training next week.
39:35From now on, you're getting him to the training grounds.
39:37He was still so incredibly arrogant.
39:39But I wasn't that naive little girl anymore.
39:41Looking at him now, I just felt exhausted and disgusted.
39:44I didn't want to waste another second on them.
39:46I was just about to tell them exactly who I was.
39:48But Ingrid beat me to it.
39:51Astrid, please don't be mad at Soren.
39:53He's just trying to take care of you.
39:55You disappeared for three winters.
39:57What kind of shady taverns have you been staying at?
40:00Look at you.
40:01Solon wanted to make you his personal scribe, but clearly you're not a fit.
40:04Don't worry.
40:05Being my Thrail is an honor.
40:07No one will look down on you.
40:09Three years apart, she's still as arrogant as ever.
40:12She still makes me cringe.
40:14Soren saw my scown and thought I was just jealous.
40:16His eyes flashed with triumph.
40:18All right Astrid, drop the attitude.
40:20You clearly can't survive out in the wilds.
40:21So hold your temper, take care of the kid, and learn your place.
40:25Don't worry.
40:26I got a perfect cot for you, just in the dragon pens.
40:30The whole group howled with laughter.
40:33By Thor, Astrid, show some appreciation.
40:36He's giving you free meat and mead.
40:38Isn't that better than wherever you're living now?
40:39Ingrid touched her gold-forged earring, putting on an affected tone.
40:43Don't you worry, dear.
40:44If my son acts up, I'll make sure he still behave.
40:47You won't let it out on you, I promise.
40:49Solon let out a cold laugh and shot me a glance.
40:51Why's that?
40:52She was always so stubborn, ran away over a tiny little misunderstanding.
40:54If she hit rock bottom out there, she deserves to suffer a little.
40:57Hearing that, my heart actually skipped a beat.
41:00After three years, he still thought ditching me at the Temple of the Allfather for Ingrid
41:04was just a tiny little misunderstanding.
41:06Soren, the one I had fallen in love with, was gone.
41:10He wasn't the boy who carried me across the frozen tundra, ignoring his own bleeding frostbite.
41:14He wasn't the broken youth who promised me the Nine Realms.
41:17He wasn't the warrior who, despite all his glory and spoils,
41:21was still willing to do game for me.
41:24But whatever.
41:24It was all in the past.
41:26None of it mattered anymore.
41:28Besides, I'm about to give birth to my second child.
41:30Pushed my feelings down.
41:32I didn't want to argue with them.
41:33It was pointless.
41:33Aren't you here to guide me to the keep?
41:35Let's go.
41:35They exchanged looks.
41:36Then they burst out laughing.
41:37Guide you?
41:38What a joke.
41:38She pointed at the runic parchment.
41:40Read it carefully.
41:41We are waiting for Lady Varg.
41:42Do you even know who that is?
41:43Varg was my new name.
41:45Of course I knew.
41:45Lady Varg is the matriarch of the Black Dragon Clan.
41:48She is the actual wife of Hyald Gul'da Varg.
41:50Gul'da Varg is a ruthless warlord, but he's completely obsessed with his wife.
41:53I heard he stayed solitary for years, just waiting for her.
41:56Everyone in the realm knows the rule.
41:58Don't try to kiss up to Gondar, kiss up to Lady Varg.
42:01She is his entire world.
42:02Listening to them gossip about my marriage.
42:04I couldn't help it.
42:05To win his wife's heart.
42:07Goren Varg bartered with the dwarves of Swatalfard for a custom arm ring.
42:10It's called the Tear of Yigadaski.
42:12It cost 20 chests of gold.
42:13Lady Varg is literally the most envied woman in Midlad.
42:16Her eyes darted down to my wrist.
42:18She let out a sharp gasp.
42:21That exact same arm has-
42:22It's a pretty good fake.
42:24Which broke stable boy bought this for you?
42:26Buying you a cheap iron knockoff.
42:28Absolute trash.
42:29I snatched my hand back.
42:31And gently rubbed the arm ring on my wrist.
42:34I smirked.
42:35Seeing my happy, unfazed smile.
42:39Sorin's eyes narrowed in pure rage.
42:41He lunged forward.
42:42He grabbed my wrist with a crushing grip.
42:43And violently ripped the arm ring off my arm.
42:45Ingrid eagerly stepped forward.
42:46She snatched the arm ring from Solon's hand.
42:48And started playing with it.
42:49Look, a high quality fake.
42:50Way better than the replica I bought from that merchant.
42:52But I'd never actually wear mine in the great hall.
42:54How embarrassing.
42:55These foreign knockoffs are more detailed.
42:57The weight actually feels real.
42:59She gave me a mocking sickly sweet smile.
43:02Or what, Astrea?
43:03Are you saying you're the real Lady Varg?
43:04Are you the legendary warlord's wife?
43:06The second she said it, the raiding party erupted into hysterical laughter.
43:10Gunnan Varg was a feared conqueror.
43:12He was ruthless and unstoppable.
43:14And three years ago, I was just a pathetic nobody.
43:16The loser who got dumped at the temple.
43:18Ingrid spun the priceless arm ring around her finger.
43:20Astrid!
43:21Sell this fake to me.
43:22I'll pay you double.
43:23I panicked, terrified she was gonna drop it.
43:25Give that back right now!
43:27Gunnar gave that to me!
43:29Shut your mouth!
43:30Soren glared at me like I was insane.
43:32Astrid, have you gone mad?
43:33How dare you just drop Lord Varg's name like that?
43:35Are you trying to get me sent to Valhalla early?
43:37His warrior buddies stared at me with pure rage.
43:39Do you have any idea how hard we fought for this escort duty?
43:42Gunnar Varg conquered Soren's clan last half.
43:44Our entire livelihood depends on him now.
43:47The only way Soren keeps his commander spot is if we impress Lady Varg.
43:51And you're out here spreading psychotic rumors that you know the high yearn?
43:54Are you trying to ruin Soren's honor?
43:55My stare must have been dead cold because Soren frowned.
43:58A flicker of genuine panic flashed across his eyes.
44:01You ungrateful wretch!
44:02Soren was kind enough to offer you a roof to survive.
44:05Don't push it.
44:05I know you're bitter about the past,
44:07but trying to sabotage his command out of petty revenge?
44:10That's sick.
44:11Sora shook his head in disgust.
44:13You're such a jealous shrew.
44:14But this time, he didn't keep screaming at me.
44:16He went quiet a second.
44:17Then he pulled out a heavy pouch from his belt.
44:19He tossed a bag of pure silver pieces right at my chest.
44:24For the sake of our past bond, I'll let this slide.
44:26Take the silver.
44:27Go get some decent cloaks.
44:28If you really don't want to tend the pens for Ingrid's kid,
44:30I'll have you sent to the kitchens next week.
44:32Watching him play the generous savior made my stomach turn.
44:35The whole group watched me, waiting for me to grovel and take the pouch.
44:38Instead, I kicked it away.
44:40I reached over.
44:40No thank you, commander.
44:41Seems like you need it more than I do.
44:43Soren's face turned bright red.
44:45I ignored him and turned to walk away.
44:47But I barely made it two steps before he grabbed my arm.
44:51Astrid!
44:52What is your problem?
44:54Commander?
44:54What do you mean?
44:55I pulled my arm free.
44:56We broke our oaths three years ago.
44:58It's better if we keep our distance.
45:00I wouldn't want anyone to get the wrong idea.
45:02I was thinking about my fiercely loyal, slightly jealous dragon lord husband.
45:06But Soren glanced over at Ingrid.
45:07He looked like he had it all figured out.
45:08The Yars are hosting a great solstice feast for Lord Varg in three days.
45:12I was actually planning to bring you to my table.
45:13To let you experience true grand ceremony.
45:15But you'd need to buy a decent dress.
45:18I can't have you embarrassing me.
45:20I cut him off immediately.
45:21With all respect, I really don't need it.
45:24Hearing me reject him again, Soren grew annoyed.
45:28He was grinding his teeth.
45:30Astrid, you've grown a spine, haven't you?
45:32It's true what they say.
45:33The poorer you get, the bigger your attitude.
45:36Fine! If you don't want to go, forget it!
45:38I'll take Ingrid.
45:39Hearing that she got to attend the High Jars feast, Ingrid's eyes lit up.
45:42Soren, I promise I'll be perfect.
45:44I absolutely won't embarrass you.
45:46I was so incredibly done with them.
45:48I turned around and strode away, but I tossed one last look over my shoulder.
45:53I'm looking forward seeing you both in three days.
45:56I practically sprinted out of the courtyard,
45:58hitting the crisp, freezing air outside,
45:59finally pushing down the nauseous churning in my stomach.
46:02My mind flashed back to three years ago.
46:04My clan had been pressuring me into an arranged marriage across the sea.
46:07I fought them on it.
46:08I begged Sudan, my betrotho of seven years, to just run away with me into the forests.
46:13To swear oaths and be together forever.
46:15But when I showed up at the Temple of the Allfather, he brought Ingrid.
46:18He told me her child needed a father under clan law.
46:21He told me he'd sever the tie to her in Amun's time and bond with me then.
46:24He told me not to overthink it.
46:26Watching him hold her hand and walk up to the altar, I realized what a fool I've been.
46:29I sailed across the western fjords for a blind arrangement that very night.
46:33A moon later, I married Gunnar Varg.
46:35A year later, we had our firstborn.
46:36And now, I'm pregnant with our second.
46:38Honestly, if it wasn't for Guller's ancestral blot,
46:41I definitely wouldn't have seen Sorin ever again.
46:43Three days later, I showed up to the Great Solstice Feast alone,
46:46wearing light face paint and my custom Ellen-spun tunic.
46:50The second Sorin saw me, his eyes lit up.
46:52A smug smirk spread across his face.
46:55You said you didn't want to come, but here you are.
46:57Listen, if you want me back, you need to at least dress the part to match my new status.
47:03I brushed off his arrogance and tried to pass him.
47:05He stopped me angrily after just two steps.
47:08Astrid!
47:09I'm talking to you!
47:10Our seats are right here!
47:12Where do you think you're going?
47:13I shook his hand off.
47:14Those are your seats.
47:15Mine is over there.
47:16I pointed straight at the high jar's carved oak table.
47:19Sorin's face instantly dark.
47:20Ingrid shot me a venomous glare.
47:22She pointed directly at my wrist and yelled at the top of her lungs.
47:24Astrid, how did you sneak in here?
47:26Are you here to ruin everything?
47:28How dare you wear that arm ring?
47:30Her screeching made the entire mead hall turn to look at us.
47:33People immediately started whispering.
47:35Wait.
47:35Is that the tear of Yggazik?
47:37Lord Varg forged that for his wife.
47:39Tonight is Lady Varg's first public appearance.
47:41Is this girl trying to mock the High Yul's wife?
47:43She sneaked past the guards.
47:45Is she trying to humiliate us in front of Lord Varg?
47:47One of the elder warriors turned to Sorin.
47:50Commander?
47:51Is this young lady of your clan?
47:52Sorin saw that I wasn't even looking at him.
47:54He adjusted his expensive fur cloak and said coldly.
47:57No.
47:58I don't know her.
47:59Hearing that, Ingrid looked completely thrilled.
48:01She lifted her chin and sneered at me.
48:02Take that fake arm ring off and get out!
48:05Three days later, I showed up to the Great Solstice Feast alone,
48:08wearing light face paint and my custom Ellen-spun tunic.
48:11The second Sorin saw me, his eyes lit up.
48:14A smug smirk spread across his face.
48:16You said you didn't want to come, but here you are.
48:19Listen, if you want me back,
48:21you need to at least dress the part to match my new status.
48:25I brushed off his arrogance and tried to pass him.
48:27He stopped me angrily after just two steps.
48:29Astrid!
48:31I'm talking to you!
48:32Our seats are right here!
48:33Where do you think you're going?
48:34I shook his hand off.
48:36Those are your seats.
48:37Mine is over there.
48:38I pointed straight at the high jaw's carved oak table.
48:41Sorin's face instantly dark.
48:42Ingrid shot me a venomous glare.
48:43She pointed directly at my wrist and yelled at the top of her lungs.
48:46Astrid, how did you sneak in here?
48:48Are you here to ruin everything?
48:50How dare you wear that arm ring?
48:52Her screeching made the entire mead hall turn to look at us.
48:54People immediately started whispering.
48:56Wait, is that the tear of Yigazic?
48:59Lord Varg forged that for his wife.
49:00Tonight is Lady Varg's first public appearance.
49:03Is this girl trying to mock the high yell's wife?
49:05She sneaked past the guards?
49:06Is she trying to humiliate us in front of Lord Varg?
49:09One of the elder warriors turned to Sorin.
49:12Commander, is this young lady of your clan?
49:14Sorin saw that I wasn't even looking at him.
49:16He adjusted his expensive fur cloak and said coldly.
49:19No, I don't know her.
49:20Hearing that, Ingrid looked completely thrilled.
49:22She lifted her chin and sneered at me.
49:24Take that fake arm ring off and get out!
