Transcript
00:00The day we were supposed to complete our blood bonding ceremony, my mate Rylan had the clan
00:04sentinels drag me out of the sacred hall. Lyra's baby needs a father on paper. Once we divorce,
00:10I'll marry you. He walked in with his childhood sweetheart instead. Everyone thought I'd swallow
00:16my pride and wait another month. After all, I'd already waited seven years. But that night,
00:21I accepted my family's arranged alliance and left the abyssal reach entirely. I disappeared
00:27from Rylan's world completely. Three years later, I returned to abyss reach with my mate for a clan
00:33ancestral rite. My mate had a work emergency, but he had his people to collect me. At the border
00:40crossing, I walked out and froze. That person was Rylan, my ex. The arrival clearing. I spotted a
00:48scout holding a marker carved with my name, my formal alliance name, Gila, and walked over. Rylan was
00:55holding it. He had Lyra with him, plus a few of his clansmen, all craning their necks toward the
01:00tree line. Rylan looked surprised to see me. He covered it fast. Hey, isn't that Rylan's obsessed
01:07ex? Isn't that Evara? I told you she'd come crawling back. His men laughed. Evara vanished without a
01:14trash. Now she sees Rylan is in a higher rank. She probably cries herself to sleep every night.
01:21Evara, if you're gonna fake a random run-in, why show up like this? Couldn't you at least put on
01:27some makeup? Without Rylan, you can't even buy a nice outfit. Look pathetic. It was true. I used to
01:33make myself perfect every time I knew I'd be near Rylan. Sharpest claws, finest scales on display,
01:39best version of me. Not anymore. No point. Because I'm carrying, and my mate refused to let me be
01:45uncomfortable. He had this soft traveling wrap custom-tailored for me. Listening to them mock
01:50me, it suddenly clicked. They only knew my alliance name. They had no idea the one they were here to
01:56collect was me. Evara, hey, it's good you're back. Rylan's been asking after you for years.
02:02Yeah, our son is entering the young training cohort soon. From now on, you're in charge of the drop-off.
02:07He was still so incredibly arrogant, but I wasn't that naive girl anymore. I didn't want to waste
02:13another second on them. I was just about to tell them exactly who I was. I am-
02:19Please don't blame Rylan. He's just trying to take care of you. You disappeared for three years.
02:23Who knows what kind of shady stuff you had to do to survive. Rylan caught my expression and thought
02:28I was jealous. Something flickered in his eyes. Satisfaction.
02:32All right, Evara. Drop the attitude. You clearly can't survive out there, so stop throwing tantrums,
02:37take care of the kid, and learn your place. Damn, Evara. Look how good Rayon is to you.
02:41He's giving you free room and board. Isn't babysitting better than whatever trashy life
02:46you're living now? Hurry up and say thank you!
02:48Lyra touched the scales at her throat and spoke with false sweetness. Rylan smirked and glanced at me.
02:54Don't worry, dear. If my son acts up, I'll handle him myself. You won't be mistreated.
02:59Why would she be mistreated? She ran away over a tiny little misunderstanding. If she hit rock
03:03bottom out in the wilds, a little humility is good for her.
03:06My heart actually skipped a beat. Three years had passed, and he still thought it was a small
03:11matter to dump me and married Lyra? The Rylan who used to love me was truly gone. He wasn't the
03:15young warrior who'd carried me, wounded, across three territory borders in the dead of a moonless
03:21night. But whatever. It was all in the past. None of it mattered anymore. Besides,
03:26I was about to carry my second hatchling anyway.
03:30Aren't you here to pick me up? Let's go.
03:33I looked at Rylan calmly and said,
03:36Silence fell over the clearing.
03:37Pick you up, please.
03:39Lyra held up the carved marker. Read it carefully. We are here for Hela. Do you even know who that
03:44is?
03:45Kale is a living legend. Coldest dragon alive in the field but completely devoted to his wife.
03:50Rumor has it he refused all alliances for years just waiting for Hela.
03:54Everyone knows the rule. If you want Kale's favor, go through Hela. She is his entire world.
04:00Listening to them gossip about my marriage, I couldn't help it. A genuine happy smile spread
04:05across my face. We had been married for three years. Kale's reputation as a fiercely devoted
04:10husband had spread everywhere. To claim Hela as his, Kale went to the ancient exchange and paid down
04:16a legendary artifact, the Eternal Fang Bracelet, just to give to Hela. She's the most enviled female in
04:23every territory. Lyra stopped. Then she pointed at my wrist and shrieked.
04:28That bracelet! That's it!
04:31The clearing went quiet. Everyone looked.
04:35It's a pretty good fake. Which a lowborn Klansman bought you that? Buying you a cheap imitation.
04:40Absolute trash. Rylan grabbed my arm, studied the bracelet, then laughed.
04:44Wow, it really is high quality for a fake. Way better than the replica I had made. But I'd never
04:50actually wear mine in public. These outer territory imutations, though, the craftsmanship is something
04:54else. The weight actually feels real.
04:58Or what, Ivara, are you going to tell us you're Hela?
05:03Are you Lord Kale's bonded mate?
05:06The whole group fell apart laughing. Of course they did, it was absurd to them. Kale was a living
05:12legend across all territories. Cold. Absolute. Untouchable. And three years ago, I was just the
05:18girl Rylan had left standing outside the Sacred Hall. There was no version of reality where those
05:23two things connected. Lyra swung the bracelet around her claw. Just give it to me, Ivara. I'll pay double
05:29whatever you traded for. Give it back. Kale gave me that. Rylan struck me across the face before I
05:36could finish. Shut your mouth! My head snapped sideways. I tasted copper.
05:42Ivara, do you have any idea what you're saying? Rylan looked furious. You think you can just casually
05:50invoke Lord Kale's name? Are you trying to get me killed? His Klansman piled on immediately. Do you
05:56know how hard we fought for this pickup assignment? Kale absorbed Rylan's clan faction last season.
06:02Our entire livelihood depends on him now. The only way Rylan keeps his post is if Hela accepts him.
06:09You're out here spreading wild rumors that you're connected to Lord Kale. Are you trying to ruin Rylan
06:15entirely?
06:19I wiped the blood from my lip. Slowly turned back to Rylan.
06:23Whatever he saw in my eyes made him flinch. Lyra caught it. She stepped forward and pointed a claw
06:29at my face. You ungrateful snake. Rylan offered you a place and you throw it back at him? I know
06:35you're still bitter about the past. Trying to sabotage his standing out of petty spite. That's sick.
06:41Hearing her say that, it felt exactly like three years ago. No matter what I did, Lyra would twist it,
06:47feed her poisonous version of the story to Rylan. In the early days, he used to defend me. By the
06:54end,
06:54he always took her side. Just like now.
07:02Jealous shrew.
07:11For old times sake, I'll let this go. Take these, get yourself proper clothes.
07:15If you really don't want to tend Lyra's hatchling, I'll find you something tolerable next season.
07:19Don't worry. Ever since Kale absorbed us, this kind of thing cost me nothing.
07:23No, thank you. I don't take things from strangers.
07:33You won't take what I'm offering? What does that mean? I'm a stranger to you?
07:37Rylan grabbed my arm. He dissolved our bond. Better not to stay tangled in each other's lives.
07:42Others might get the wrong impression. I was thinking of Kale, who had a very particular dislike
07:47of misunderstandings. Rylan glanced at Lyra. He had a knowing look.
07:51My faction is hosting a tribute piece for Kale in three days. I was going to bring you,
07:56show you something real. But you need to present yourself properly. Can't embarrass me.
08:00I'm fine. But thank you.
08:04Fine. I'll take Lyra.
08:07I won't let you down.
08:13Hope you're still this confident in three days, I said, and walked into the tree line.
08:18Fresh air. The nausea faded. I stood there for a moment, breathing it in. My mind flashed back to
08:26three years ago. My family had arranged an alliance overseas. I'd gone to Rylan for the first. Seven
08:32years together, I wanted to seal our bond before the journey. Force the decision. He agreed. But at
08:39the sacred hall, it wasn't just Rylan waiting. Lyra was there too. Lyra's baby needs a father on paper.
08:45Once we divorce, I'll marry you. This is just about Hatchling. I watched him take her inside.
08:52That was the last thing I needed to see. I crossed the border that night. Met Kale. Bonded with him
08:58a
08:58month later. Had our son the year after. Now I was carrying it again. And the only reason I was
09:04even back in the reach was to attend a clan ancestral rite with Kale. Honestly, if it wasn't for the
09:10rite, I never would have set foot back here. And I definitely wouldn't have run into Rylan. Three
09:15days later, I painted on a light adornment, threw on comfortable traveling leathers and made my way to
09:21the feast grounds alone. The second Rylan saw me enter the clearing, his eyes lit up. A smug smirk,
09:27spread across his face. You said you weren't coming, but here you are. Listen, if you want me back,
09:36you need to at least present yourself properly to match my standing. I walked past him without a
09:42word. He grabbed my arm. Evara, I'm talking to you. Our circle is here. Where do you think you're
09:48going? I pulled free and said simply, that's your circle. Mine is up there. He followed my gaze to
09:59the head circle. The raised dais reserved for lords and their bonded mates. His face went pale. Lyra
10:05spotted my bracelet from across the ground and her voice cut through the clearing. Evara, how did she get
10:10in here? She's here to cause chaos. How dare she wear that bracelet tonight? Of all nights. Tonight is
10:18the first time Kale is bringing his bonded maid out publicly. Is she trying to humiliate Hela?
10:24She slipped past the sentinels. She's trying to make us look disloyal in front of Lord Kale.
10:31Is this female with you? No. Take that bracelet off and get out. I looked at her with a faint
10:42smile.
10:46You sure you want me to leave? Lyra realized others were watching. Her eyes went vicious.
10:52Stop acting like you're something. Take it off now. She lunged forward to rip it from my wrist. I
10:58swatted her claw away and stepped back. Someone behind me tripped me. I hit the ground hard.
11:06Lyra stepped on my arm and ripped the bracelet off my wrist. My arm screamed. My wrist was bleeding.
11:14Treating this like it's something sacred. Trash. But I just sat there, staring at the bracelet lying
11:22broken on the ground, shards scattered across the stone. Pick her up and throw her out.
11:29A few sentinels moved toward me. They reached for my arms. I struggled.
11:35I am Kale's. Lyra struck me across the face before I could finish.
11:39Are you going to start spreading rumors that your Lord Kale's kept female? You wish.
11:45She struck me again. When I came back to the reach, I hadn't planned to make a scene.
11:50It had felt beneath me. But now, she had made it worth it.
11:56Your Lord Kale's kept female? You wish.
12:04Rylan crouched down in front of me. Reached for my wrist. I pulled back instinctively.
12:10Are you done throwing your fit? You show up wearing the bracelet, dressed down on purpose.
12:13You wanted me jealous. Just say it, and I'll give you what you want.
12:16I laughed, short, sharp.
12:21Rylan, you're finished. He frowned, opened his mouth, and then the clearing went dead silent.
12:27Guests began to straighten themselves, drifting toward the entrance path.
12:31Kale is here. Behave yourself. Lyra and I have dissolved our bond, by the way.
12:37I stared at him. I was cradling my nearly broken wrist.
12:40I'm just setting word for again.
12:42Looking at the male in front of me, thinking,
12:44How did I spend seven years on this person? What did his dissolution have to do with me?
12:49At that exact moment, Kale walked in with our son in his arms.
12:53Once they reached the feast grounds, our son squirmed and climbed down.
12:57He hit the stone path, all soft cheeks and small clawed boots.
13:02And every eye in the clearing went straight to him. His guardian scrambled after him.
13:07Evara, if you stop being jealous of Lyra, I'll forgive you for disappearing three years.
13:13I'll give you another chance. Carry my hatchling, a real one, ours.
13:18Just come back and tend to my son. I'll get rid of Lyra.
13:22Rylan hadn't noticed who the cub was yet. I didn't say a single word to him.
13:27I just looked past him into the crowd, trying to catch Kale's and our son's eyes.
13:32Then it happened. Kale followed the cub's small, clumsy steps, straight to where I was.
13:39The second my son saw me, something broke open in his face.
13:43He threw himself into my arms. He looked at my wrist.
13:47Why is there so much blood?
13:49Mom.
13:50Every dragon in that clearing turned from the cub to me.
13:52The ones who have watched me get knocked around without doing a thing, all of them staring.
13:57My son's warmth in my arms washed away everything that had been pressing down on me.
14:02I crouched down to his level, cupped his cheek.
14:04Okay.
14:05He took my hand, bent his small head, and breathed very carefully on the wound. A dragon child's
14:11instinct. The faint warmth of an ember breath that couldn't yet burn but still tried to heal.
14:17His eyes were wet, cubs. They see something hurting someone they love and they just fall apart.
14:22Protecting you is mom's job too.
14:25Before I could say anything more, the air in the clearing changed. A heavy, suffocating stillness
14:30washed over the crowd. Kale was walking toward us. That quiet, controlled walk that made the air
14:35around him feel different. Dragons moved aside without knowing why. I felt him before I saw him.
14:40I picked up our son and turned around. The blood on my wrist looked stark against his white wrap.
14:45Our son looked up at Kyle immediately. Father, someone hurt mother. We have to make them pay.
14:52Kyle stepped forward and very carefully lifted my arm. What happened?
14:56His face was unreadable. Ivara, I'm right here and you're already hurt. I can't take my eyes off you.
15:02But his voice was quiet. He didn't finish the sentence. Whoever did this? He didn't need to.
15:09Looking at this cold, absolute lord turn into a fiercely protective mate made my heart ache.
15:14He was always like this. A mosquito bite. A bruise from sleep. Even just eating half a portion.
15:19He'd be beside himself with worry. But I loved how intensely he cared about me.
15:24The feast hall's ambient light was low and dim, but our son felt something hard beneath his boot.
15:29He bent down and picked it up from the stone. It was the central gem from my broken bracelet.
15:34Isn't this the bracelet you gave mother?
15:36Kale's inscription visible on its face. Kale took it from him, turned it over, saw the engraving.
15:41Then I looked at the shard scattered across the ground and at my wrist. The nearest stone pillar
15:45cracked in his grip. Bring every torch to the ground over here. Now!
15:50He drew me gently into the light. When our eyes met, his pupils narrowed slightly. I softened my voice.
15:55What happened to your face? They actually dared to do this to you?
16:00I'm fine, Kale.
16:03Evora, I am your mate. You never have to swallow this kind of treatment alone.
16:09No one gets to hurt mother!
16:12Our son pressed close. Honestly, I could have handled Rylan and Lyra myself.
16:16But perhaps it was pregnancy. Or perhaps it was just finally feeling safe. My voice cracked.
16:23And they all came at me.
16:25All the weight I'd been holding for three days broke open. Vesa had lost control of herself entirely.
16:31Her shift reflex had misfired in the most primal, humiliating way a dragon can in public.
16:37Scales broke out down one side of her neck and arm in a panicked, involuntary half-shift,
16:42the kind that happened to hatchlings who couldn't control their fear responses.
16:46On a grown female in a formal gathering, in front of a lord, it was devastating.
16:52Kyle's jaw tightened slightly. A sentinel materialized and quietly escorted her from the grounds.
16:59Lyra and Rylan went scarlet. The guests looked at them the way you look at those who have shamed
17:05themselves past the point of recovery. Meanwhile, a healer Kale had summoned was tending to my wrist,
17:12nearby. I hissed. Kale and our son both turned with the same expression.
17:17Can you perhaps be a little more careful? The healer's hands started trembling. I shot them both a look.
17:28He's helping me. Stop.
17:31I grabbed a clean wrap and frantically began binding Kale's bleeding hand. Rylan looked genuinely hurt.
17:38Ivara, I know you're bitter, but Lyra and I have dissolved our bond. Her hatchling is ready to
17:44call you mother. You only bonded with Kale to wound me. I understand. I'm not angry. Just come back.
17:50Whatever he can give you, I'll work twice as hard to match it. Just return and tend to my son.
17:55If you
17:56don't want Lyra, I'll make her disappear. I honestly could not believe what I was hearing. His arrogance had
18:01no floor. Kale's blood was smearing onto my wraps, but as I urgently pressed the binding to his palm,
18:07he suddenly let out a low, genuine laugh. Why are you laughing?
18:12Ivara. Kale reached over with his uninjured hand
18:15and quietly rested it on top of my head. You just said I'm the one you love most.
18:19Our son made a face and looked away. His cold, fearsome father was currently acting like a lovesick
18:24hatchling, all because I'd defended him. The entire feast grounds went still. Half the guests were in
18:30shock. The other half were dying of quiet envy. The whispers spread through the crowd like fire
18:36through dry grass. The rumors are real. He is completely devoted to his mate. Rylan stood there,
18:42his knuckles white with humiliation. But our son wasn't finished. He looked Rylan up and down with
18:47open disdain. Cub tender, my mother is the most protected one in our den. You think you deserve her?
