Short filmTranscript
00:00Limer's baby needs a father on paper. Once we divorce, I'll marry you.
00:05The day we were supposed to complete our blood bonding ceremony,
00:09my mate Rylan had the clan sentinels drag me out of the sacred hall.
00:12He walked in with his childhood sweetheart instead.
00:15Everyone thought I'd swallow my pride and wait another month.
00:17After all, I'd already waited seven years.
00:19But that night, I accepted my family's arranged alliance and left the Abyssal Reach entirely.
00:24I disappeared from Rylan's world completely.
00:26Three years later, I returned to Abyssal Reach with my mate for a clan ancestral rite.
00:31My mate had a work emergency, so he had his people to collect me.
00:34At the border crossing, I walked out and froze.
00:37That person was Rylan, my ex.
00:39The arrival clearing?
00:40I spotted a scout holding a marker carved with my name, my formal alliance name, Gila, and walked over.
00:47Rylan was holding it.
00:48He had Lyra with him, plus a few of his clansmen, all craning their necks toward the tree.
00:52Hey, isn't that Rylan's obsessed ex? Isn't that Avera?
00:55Rylan looked surprised to see me.
00:56He covered it fast.
00:57Told you, she'd come crawling back.
01:00Avera vanished without a trace.
01:01Now she sees Rylan is in a higher rank.
01:03She probably cries herself to sleep every night.
01:05Avera, if you're gonna fake a random run-in, why show up like this?
01:09Couldn't you at least put on some makeup?
01:11Without Rylan, you can't even buy a nice outfit.
01:14Look pathetic.
01:14It was true.
01:15I used to make myself perfect every time I knew I'd be near Rylan.
01:19Sharpest claws.
01:20Finest scales on display.
01:21Best version of me.
01:22Not anymore.
01:23No point.
01:24Because I'm carrying, and my mate refused to let me be uncomfortable.
01:27He had the soft traveling wrap, custom-tailored for me.
01:30Listening to them mock me, it suddenly clicked.
01:33They only knew my alliance name.
01:34They had no idea the one they were here to collect was me.
01:37Avera, hey, it's good you're back.
01:39Rylan's been asking after you for years.
01:41Yeah, our son is entering the young training cohort soon.
01:43From now on, you're in charge of the drop-off.
01:45He was still so incredibly arrogant, but I wasn't that naive girl anymore.
01:48I didn't want to waste another second on them.
01:50I was just about to tell them.
01:51Exactly.
01:52I am.
01:52Please don't blame Rylan.
01:54He's just trying to take care of you.
01:55You disappeared for three years.
01:57Who knows what kind of shady stuff you had to do to survive.
01:59Don't worry.
02:00Caring for my son is a respectable role.
02:03No one will look down on you.
02:05All right, Avera, drop the attitude.
02:06You clearly can't survive out there, so stop throwing tantrums.
02:09Take care of the kid and learn your place.
02:11Damn, Avera.
02:12Look how good Rylan is to you.
02:13He's giving you free room and board.
02:15Isn't babysitting better than whatever trashy life you're living now?
02:18Hurry up and say thank you.
02:20Don't worry, dear.
02:20If my son acts up, I'll handle him myself.
02:22You won't be mistreated.
02:23Why would she be mistreated?
02:24She ran away over a tiny little misunderstanding.
02:27If she hit rock bottom out in the wilds, a little humility is good for her.
02:31My heart actually skipped a beat.
02:33Three years had passed, and he still thought it was a small matter
02:36to dump me and married Lyra.
02:38The Rylan who used to love me was truly gone.
02:40He wasn't the young warrior who had carried me,
02:42wounded across three territory borders in the dead of a moonless night.
02:46But whatever, it was all in the past.
02:48None of it mattered anymore.
02:49Besides, I was about to carry my second hatchling anyway.
02:52Aren't you here to pick me up?
02:53Let's go.
02:54Pick you up?
02:55Please.
02:57Read it carefully.
02:58We are here for Hela.
03:00Do you even know who that is?
03:02Hela is the mate-bonded consort of the Frostridge line.
03:07She is blood-bonded to Lord Kale.
03:09Kale is a living legend.
03:11Coldest dragon alive in the field, but completely devoted to his wife.
03:15Rumor has it he refused all alliances for years.
03:19Just waiting for Hela.
03:21Everyone knows the rule.
03:23If you want Kale's favor, go through Hela.
03:27She is his entire world.
03:29Listening to them gossip about my marriage, I couldn't help it.
03:32A genuine happy smile spread across my face.
03:34We had been married for three years.
03:36Kale's reputation as a fiercely devoted husband had spread everywhere.
03:40To claim Hela as his, Kyle went to the Ancient Exchange and paid down a legendary artifact,
03:46the Eternal Fang Bracelet, just to give to Hela.
03:50She's the most envied female in every territory.
03:53Lyra stopped, then she pointed at my wrist and shrieked.
03:57That bracelet, that's it!
04:00It's a pretty good fake.
04:02Which a lowbring Klansman bought you that?
04:05Buying you a cheap imitation?
04:08Absolute trash.
04:10Wow.
04:12It really is high quality for a fake.
04:14Way better than the replica I had made.
04:16But I'd never actually wear mine in public.
04:19These outer territory immutations, though.
04:22The craftsmanship is something else.
04:26The weight actually feels real.
04:29Or what, Ivara?
04:30Are you going to tell us you're Hela?
04:32Are you Lord Kale's bonded mate?
04:35The whole group fell apart laughing.
04:38Of course they did.
04:38It was absurd to them.
04:40Kale was a living legend across all territories.
04:42Cold.
04:43Absolute.
04:44Untouchable.
04:44And three years ago, I was just the girl Rylan had left standing outside the Sacred Hall.
04:50There was no version of reality where those two things connected.
04:54Lyra swung the bracelet around her claw.
04:56Just give it to me, Ivara.
04:57I'll pay double whatever you traded for.
05:00Give it back.
05:01Kale gave me that.
05:02Rylan struck me across the face before I could finish.
05:05Shut your mouth!
05:06My head snapped sideways.
05:08I tasted copper.
05:09Ivara, do you have any idea what you're saying?
05:13You think you can just casually invoke Lord Kale's name?
05:17Are you trying to get me killed?
05:18I wiped the blood from my lip, slowly turned back to Rylan.
05:21Whatever he saw in my eyes made him flinch.
05:23His Klansman piled on immediately.
05:25Do you know how hard we fought for this pickup assignment?
05:28Kale absorbed Rylan's clan faction last season.
05:31Our entire livelihood depends on him now.
05:33The only way Rylan keeps his post is if Hela accepts us.
05:37And you're out here spreading wild rumors that you're connected to Lord Kale.
05:40Are you trying to ruin Rylan entirely?
05:42You ungrateful snake.
05:45Rylan offered you a place and you throw it back at him?
05:48I know you're still bitter about the past.
05:50Trying to sabotage his standing out of petty spite.
05:53That's sick.
05:54Hearing her say that, it felt exactly like three years ago.
05:57No matter what I did, Lyra would twist it, feed her poisonous version of the story to Rylan.
06:03In the early days, he used to defend me.
06:05By the end, he always took her side.
06:07Just like now, Rylan shook his head, muttered-
06:12For old time's sake, I'll let this go.
06:15Take these.
06:16Get yourself proper clothes.
06:18If you really don't want to tend Lyra's hatchling, I'll find you something tolerable next season.
06:23Don't worry.
06:24Ever since Kale absorbed us, this kind of thing cost me nothing.
06:27No, thank you.
06:29I don't take things from strangers.
06:35Not three steps out, Rylan grabbed my arm.
06:38You won't take what I'm offering?
06:40What does that mean I'm a stranger to you?
06:42We dissolved our bond.
06:43Better not to stay tangled in each other's lives.
06:45Others might get the wrong impression.
06:47I was thinking of Kale, who had a very particular dislike of misunderstandings.
06:51Rylan glanced at Lyra.
06:53He had a knowing one.
06:53My faction is hosting a tribute feast for Kale in three days.
06:56I was going to bring you, show you something real.
06:59But you'd need to present yourself properly.
07:01Can't embarrass me.
07:02I'm fine, but thank you.
07:05Fine.
07:06I'll take Lyra.
07:09I won't let you down.
07:11Hope you're still this confident in three days.
07:13I didn't look back and walked into the tree line.
07:16Fresh air.
07:17The nausea faded.
07:18I stood there for a moment, breathing it in.
07:20My mind flashed back to three years ago.
07:22My family had arranged an alliance overseas.
07:24I'd gone to Rylan for the first seven years together.
07:27I wanted to seal our bond before the journey.
07:30Force the decision.
07:30He agreed.
07:31Fine.
07:32But at the sacred hall, it wasn't just Rylan waiting.
07:35Lyra was there too.
07:36Her hatchling needs to be registered under my bloodline.
07:38I'll dissolve her bond claim in a month.
07:40Then I'll bond with you.
07:41This is just about hatchling.
07:43I watched him take her inside.
07:44That was the last thing I needed to see.
07:46I crossed the border that night.
07:48Met Kale.
07:49Bonded with him a month later.
07:50Had our son the year after.
07:52Now I was carrying it again.
07:54And the only reason I was even back in the reach was to attend a clan ancestral rite with
07:59Kale.
08:00Honestly, if it wasn't for the rite, I never would have set foot back here.
08:03And I definitely wouldn't have run into Rylan.
08:06Three days later, I painted on a light adornment and made my way to the feast grounds alone.
08:11You said you weren't coming, but here you are.
08:16Listen.
08:17If you want me back, you need to at least present yourself properly to match my standing.
08:23I walked past him without a word.
08:25He grabbed my arm.
08:28Evara, I'm talking to you.
08:29Our circle is here.
08:30Where do you think you're going?
08:33That's your circle.
08:35Mine is up there.
08:36He followed my gaze to the head circle.
08:39His face went pale.
08:40Lyra spotted my bracelet from across the ground, and her voice cut through the clearing.
08:45Evara, how did she get in here?
08:47She's here to cause chaos!
08:49How dare she wear that bracelet tonight of all nights!
08:53Tonight is the first time Kale is bringing his bonded mate out publicly!
08:57Is she trying to humiliate Hela?
09:00She slipped past the sentinels!
09:01She's trying to make us look disloyal in front of Lord Kale!
09:06Ryan, is this female with you?
09:09No.
09:10Take that bracelet off and get out!
09:14You sure you want me to leave?
09:16Lyra realized others were watching.
09:18Her eyes went vicious.
09:20Stop acting like you're something!
09:22Take it off!
09:23Now!
09:24She lunged forward to rip it from my wrist.
09:26I swatted her claw away and stepped back.
09:28Someone behind me tripped me.
09:29I hit the ground hard.
09:31Lyra stepped on my arm and ripped the bracelet off my wrist.
09:34I'm not treating this like it's something sacred.
09:37Trash.
09:40My arm screamed.
09:42My wrist was bleeding, but I just sat there, staring at the bracelet lying broken on the
09:46ground.
09:46Pick her up and throw her out.
09:50Stop!
09:52I am Kales!
09:56Are you going to start spreading rumors that your Lord Kale's kept female?
10:01You wish.
10:05When I came back to the reach, I hadn't planned to make a scene.
10:08It had felt beneath me, but now, she had made it worth it.
10:11Rylan crouched down in front of me, reached for my wrist.
10:14Are you done throwing your fit?
10:16You show up wearing the bracelet, dressed down on purpose.
10:19You wanted me jealous.
10:21Just say it, and I'll give you what you want.
10:24Rylan, you're finished.
10:28He frowned, opened his mouth, and then the clearing went dead silent.
10:31Guests began to straighten themselves, drifting toward the entrance path.
10:37Kale is here.
11:04Kale is here.
11:05Kale went straight to him.
11:06His guardian scrambled after him.
11:08If you stop being jealous of Lyra, I'll forgive you for disappearing three years.
11:13I'll give you another chance.
11:14Carry my hatchling.
11:16A real one.
11:17Ours.
11:18Just come back and tend to my son.
11:20I'll get rid of Lyra.
11:21I didn't say a single word to him.
11:23I just looked past him into the crowd, trying to catch Kale's and our son's eyes.
11:28The second my son saw me, something broke open in his face.
11:31He threw himself into my arms.
11:34Why is there so much blood?
11:37Mom.
11:39Every dragon in that clearing turned from the cub to me.
11:42The ones who have watched me get knocked around without doing a thing.
11:44All of them staring.
11:46My son's warmth in my arms washed away everything that had been pressing down on me.
11:50I crouched down to his level, cupped his cheek.
11:53I'm okay.
11:54He took my hand, bent his small head, and breathed very carefully on the wound.
11:58His eyes were wet.
12:00Who did this to you?
12:02Cubs.
12:02They see something hurting someone they love, and they just fall apart.
12:06Protecting you is mom's job too.
12:08Before I could say anything more, the air in the pool had changed.
12:11Kale was walking toward us.
12:12That quiet, controlled walk that made the air around him feel different.
12:16Dragons moved aside without knowing why.
12:18I picked up our son and turned around.
12:20The blood on my wrist looked stark against his white wrath.
12:23Our son looked up at Kale immediately.
12:26Father.
12:27Someone hurt mother.
12:29We have to make them pay.
12:33Ivara.
12:34What happened?
12:37I'm right here and you're already hurt.
12:39I can't take my eyes off you.
12:44Whoever did this.
12:47I reached for my stomach on instinct.
12:50Sorin caught the look immediately.
12:53You're both fine.
12:54The healer said it was shock and pain.
12:57That's why you went under.
12:59The unborn is completely safe.
13:02That Lyra is something else.
13:05Going after a cub with a blade.
13:07Dre.
13:08My chest tightened.
13:10My son.
13:12Kale.
13:13Are they-
13:14Both fine.
13:15Physically, completely fine.
13:17Slow down.
13:19Drink.
13:20I drank.
13:21The tightness eased a little.
13:23You didn't need to throw yourself in front of him.
13:26There were six sentinels in that clearing.
13:28Dre was never going to get touched.
13:30That's Dre.
13:33I know, I know.
13:35He's your whole heart.
13:36That terrifying little creature.
13:38He doesn't need protecting.
13:40He's more dangerous than most full-grown warriors.
13:43Where are they?
