Short filmTranscript
00:00The day I mentioned the mate bond to my fiancé, Lyndon, for the 99th time, I overheard him talking with
00:07his friends.
00:09Lyndon, you're something else. Alice is willing to wait for you.
00:14Lyndon swirled his glass.
00:16If it weren't for her, Nora wouldn't have mated with someone else out of spite.
00:22She won't let me have my way, so she should experience the same thing.
00:26Then, drag it out. The more she tries to mate with me, the less I'll agree.
00:38Anyway, she'll wait for me.
00:47Next year, raise the unbonded tax by 30.
00:56Alice will have to sell herself to make up the tax.
01:00Lyndon is the alpha heir. That poor girl wants to climb up.
01:04Selling herself once won't cut it. Sell as many times as needed.
01:09Tears ran down my face.
01:14The pack rules say, if a wolf turns 18 without a mate bond, they must pay the unbonded tax.
01:21Otherwise, the pack council will force a sign right.
01:25Every time I pushed him to finish the bond, he said.
01:29Next year.
01:30I waited three years.
01:32I barely held on.
01:34The tax grew heavier every year.
01:36So, this year, I won't pay.
01:41Before Lyndon left, one of his servants came over to ask me.
01:46Alice.
01:48Did you scrape together this year's tax?
01:51If not, we can help you.
01:54Next year.
01:55Alpha hair promised.
01:59Next year, he'll finish the bond ceremony with you.
02:02I patted the half-empty money pouch at my waist.
02:06It had money, but it was far from enough to pay this year's unbonded tax.
02:12I'd been hearing this for three years.
02:14My family used to be a respected bloodline.
02:18Three years ago, my father got dragged into pack politics.
02:23Lyndon, the alpha heir, was my fiancé.
02:28Then overnight, we had nothing.
02:30My father died that winter.
02:32I became an orphan.
02:40I had no choice but to go to Lyndon for shelter.
02:44The first time I saw him, the young she-wolf at his side looked pale and ran off crying.
02:48A few days later, she had mated with someone else.
02:52If you like her, we can call off the engagement.
02:56No need.
02:57You're my fiancé.
02:59I must keep my promise.
03:01When will we finish the bonding ceremony?
03:04Next year.
03:06Your father just died.
03:08Aren't you afraid of being cursed if we mate now?
03:12I struggled through that year and paid the tax with the last of my money.
03:17The next year, I asked him again and again.
03:20He finally lost patience.
03:22Do you ever stop?
03:23All you said is the mate bond.
03:25Do you only think about men?
03:28Shameless.
03:29I wouldn't show weakness.
03:31Crying?
03:32I'm joking.
03:33A witch says my wolf is unstable this year.
03:36Not a good year to mate.
03:38Next year.
03:39I'll mate with you next year.
03:41I stood there awkwardly.
03:43I wanted to tell him I was almost out of money.
03:47If I couldn't pay, the pack council would force a sign a stranger as my mate.
03:53But I swallowed the words.
03:55I'll wait.
03:56I told myself.
03:58But life was getting harder.
04:00That year, the tax jumped by 50%.
04:03You keep dragging this out year after year.
04:07As you get older, the fee goes up.
04:11So he'd raised the price on purpose.
04:15I struggled through that year and paid the tax with the last of my money.
04:20The next year, I asked him again and again.
04:22He finally lost patience.
04:25Do you ever stop?
04:26All you said is the mate bond.
04:28Do you only think about men?
04:31Shameless.
04:32I wouldn't show weakness.
04:34Crying?
04:35I'm joking.
04:36A witch says my wolf is unstable this year.
04:39Not a good year to mate.
04:41Next year.
04:42I'll mate with you next year.
04:44I stood there awkwardly.
04:46I wanted to tell him I was almost out of money.
04:50If I couldn't pay, the pack council would force a sign a stranger as my mate.
04:56But I swallowed the words.
04:58I'll wait.
04:59I told myself.
05:01But life was getting harder.
05:02That year, the tax jumped by 50%.
05:05You keep dragging this out, year after year.
05:10As you get older, the fee goes up.
05:13So he'd raise the price on purpose.
05:20Alice.
05:22Even the alpha hare has to pay.
05:24He has to be waiting for you.
05:26He's just young and playful.
05:28Wait a little longer.
05:32I know.
05:33Lyndon was the alpha heir.
05:35How would he know how hard it was for me to save?
05:38I lived in the alpha house.
05:39But I have no money.
05:41No money meant I had to find a way.
05:44I painted for other noble she-wolves.
05:46And took the money.
05:47With his casual words, I had to burn countless knights to draw.
05:52I put up with it for three years.
05:54This year, I wasn't going to anymore.
05:56I clutched my last money and went to the pack council.
06:00You again?
06:01Lyndon, the unbonded tax went up.
06:04Are you paying?
06:05No.
06:07Fine.
06:08He opened the pairing book and casually ticked a name.
06:11Him.
06:11Done.
06:12Go.
06:12I didn't even know my future mate's name.
06:15My life was decided like that.
06:17Back at alpha house, Lyndon leaned against the doorway.
06:21Paid the tax?
06:22I looked down and lied.
06:24Yes.
06:28My blanket, wine glasses, bring them.
06:32Be careful.
06:34Don't break anything.
06:36You can't pay for it if it's ruined.
06:38He came over and reached to pat my head.
06:41I flinched.
06:42Want anything?
06:43I'll bring it back for you.
06:45He always did that.
06:46Just when my heart felt frozen, he'd hand me a sweet and steady me again.
06:50I'm pathetic.
06:51I always tell myself to call off the engagement.
06:55Don't wait.
06:57But when he smiles, I think, what if he really means next year?
07:01And I'm fooled every time.
07:04The money pouch.
07:05Why not get something nicer?
07:07I have plenty of money.
07:09No need.
07:12Alright.
07:15Hey!
07:16I turned and left.
07:18My room was in the far corner of alpha house.
07:21Few people came by.
07:23There was one good thing.
07:24It was near the side door.
07:26If the pack council came for me, no one would notice.
07:29I packed my things and left.
07:33My blanket, wine glasses, bring them.
07:38Be careful.
07:40Don't break anything.
07:41You can't pay for it if it's ruined.
07:44He came over and reached to pat my head.
07:46I flinched.
07:48Want anything?
07:49I'll bring it back for you.
07:50He always did that.
07:52Just when my heart felt frozen, he'd hand me a sweet and steady me again.
07:56I'm pathetic.
07:57I always tell myself to call off the engagement.
08:01Don't wait.
08:02But when he smiles, I think, what if he really means next year?
08:07And I'm fooled every time.
08:10The money pouch.
08:11Why not get something nicer?
08:12I have plenty of money.
08:15No need.
08:18Alright.
08:21Hey!
08:22I turned and left.
08:23My room was in the far corner of alpha house.
08:27Few people came by.
08:28There was one good thing.
08:30It was near the side door.
08:32If the pack council came for me, no one would notice.
08:35I packed my things and left.
08:38Only Mrs. Ward waited at the door.
08:41It's a big day for you.
08:44Aren't you wearing something new?
08:47Before my father died, he'd prepared clothes and jewelry for my ceremony.
08:51He didn't want me looking shabby.
08:54But the first year, Lyndon wouldn't bond with me.
08:57And the tax kept pressing.
08:59I had to sell the dress.
09:02The tax kept rising every year.
09:05I sold all my jewelry, too.
09:08Still no ceremony.
09:10It's fine.
09:12Live for yourself, not for show.
09:15Let's go.
09:16The sooner it's done, the better for both of us.
09:18We passed the alpha house gate, and Lyndon's carriage was there.
09:23He lounged on the cushions.
09:25He looked every bit the handsome air.
09:28I walked north.
09:29He rode south.
09:31We passed each other without a second place.
09:33A little way down the road, Mrs. Ward frowned at the pairing book.
09:37Where does Simon's live again?
09:39I took the book.
09:41His address was near the pack academy.
09:44Lyndon used to study there.
09:47Ivy crawled over the small courtyard.
09:50The wooden fence was thin and scattered.
09:52Under an old oak stood a stone table.
09:55A book lay open on it, the wind turning the corners of the pages.
10:00Silas!
10:02Master Silas!
10:04Master, please not some gray-bearded old man.
10:07A young man holding a book stepped out.
10:10We stared at each other and froze.
10:12What's going on?
10:14Why is it her?
10:15This can't be right.
10:16She's my student's fiancée.
10:19Is there some mistake?
10:20Mrs. Ward didn't care to argue.
10:22The pack council named the mate.
10:25How can it be wrong?
10:28Congratulations.
10:31Mr. Silas.
10:33This really isn't proper.
10:35I'll go to the council tomorrow and explain.
10:38He clearly looked down on me.
10:41If he sent me back to the council, I didn't know who I'd be assigned next.
10:50I don't have the money to pay the tax.
10:57I don't have the money to pay the tax.
11:16He said he was the fifth side to warm up.
11:17When Lyndon saw me, his face went cold.
11:21Who told you to come?
11:22He's the alpha heir's fiancée.
11:24She looks so poor.
11:27I had embarrassed him.
11:28By the time the soup cooled, he wouldn't even drink a drop.
11:31I was about to pour it out.
11:36Silas put three silver coins on the step.
11:40Don't waste food.
11:47Consider it bought.
11:53Lyndon hated studying and kept getting punished to copy the PAC laws.
11:58He passed the work to me. I copied so much that even Silas couldn't stand it.
12:04He looked at my handwriting.
12:06Neat writing. You helped him copy, right?
12:10If he won't learn and has others do his work, what's the point?
12:16Fine. No more punishments.
12:20You can stay there for now.
12:22My held breath finally fell away. I couldn't help letting out a small, grateful...
12:26Thank you, Mr. Silas.
12:30I admit I was a little shameless.
12:34Mr. Silas is soft-hearted.
12:36Three years ago, Lyndon went off to the Academy.
12:39I wanted to make a good impression.
12:41So, on a snowy day, I cooked a pot of hot soup and took it to the Academy.
12:46I was shaking outside.
12:49Silas saw me and, breaking the rules, let me inside to warm up.
12:54When Lyndon saw me, his face went cold.
12:57Who told you to come?
12:59It's the alpha heir's fiancé. She looks so poor.
13:03I had embarrassed him. By the time the soup cooled, he wouldn't even drink a drop.
13:08I was about to pour it out.
13:12Silas put three silver coins on the step.
13:16Don't waste food.
13:23Consider it bought.
13:29Lyndon hated studying, and kept getting punished to copy the PAC laws.
13:34He passed the work to me.
13:36I copied so much that even Silas couldn't stand it.
13:40He looked at my handwriting.
13:43Neat writing.
13:44You helped him copy, right?
13:47If he won't learn, and has others do his work, what's the point?
13:52Fine.
13:53No more punishments.
13:56You can stay there for now.
13:58My held breath finally fell away.
14:00I couldn't help letting out a small, grateful...
14:03Thank you, Mr. Silas.
14:07I was so tired that I collapsed into bed and was out like a light.
14:10When I woke the next morning, Silas was already gone.
14:13I went out to look for him.
14:15The neighbor, Mrs. Finch, greeted me.
14:17Isn't he your cousin? He couldn't live with you.
14:19He moved into the academy.
14:22I walked back home.
14:24He really was old fashioned.
14:25It made me look like the one squatting in his room.
14:27If he really didn't want to be my mate, I could write articles to earn some money.
14:32Save the tax. Move out once I had enough.
14:34Since I was staying in his place, I should at least tidy up.
14:38While cleaning I found a trunk.
14:39It was neatly stacked with books.
14:41On top was a copy of Strange Tales.
14:44The pages were yellow and the corners curled.
14:46It had clearly been read a lot.
14:48I opened it and couldn't stop.
14:50I lost track of time.
14:51Ghosts coming back to life.
14:53A silver wolf repaying a debt.
14:55These books were completely unlike what a rigid one like him should be reading.
14:59Maybe I had read so many strange tales that day.
15:03That night I dreamed of a silver wolf.
15:06It walked in on moonlight, bowed its head to me like a salute.
15:10Then it howled at the sky.
15:13Where the moonlight fell, the house turned spotless and the corners filled with deer meat.
15:19I woke up laughing to myself.
15:21I felt oddly lighter.
15:24Good dream.
15:27I got up to fetch water and froze.
15:29The wooden bucket was full.
15:31I clearly remembered using half of it that afternoon.
15:34Had I misremembered, then the odd things kept happening.
15:37Every morning the bucket was full.
15:39The flour that was almost gone yesterday was piled up today.
15:42I ate a few pieces of venison, and the basket had fresh meat the next morning.
15:47Could there really be a silver wolf?
15:49That night I barely slept.
15:50I crept out, but I was too late.
15:52I mustered my nerve and called out,
15:54Who's there? Show yourself.
15:57The next night I forced myself to stay awake.
16:00Around midnight I heard a rustle.
16:02I jumped out of bed and tiptoed to the kitchen.
16:05Silas was there.
16:06He was bent over, pouring flour, and quietly placing venison into the basket.
16:12It was cypress.
16:14I felt everything at once.
16:16I'd been here a month, and never once gone hungry or thirsty.
16:20I checked the wardrobe where I'd hidden a few silver coins.
16:24I counted them again, and they had actually grown.
16:28In three years at the alpha house,
16:31Linden never asked if I was cold or hungry.
16:34Silas cared in small, careful ways.
16:37He wasn't as difficult.
16:38The next morning I made some flatbreads and rushed to the academy.
16:42I stood under the tree outside the classroom and peered through the half-open window.
16:47How had I never noticed before?
16:50Silas was handsome.
16:52He looked up without meaning to.
16:54His eyes crossed the sill and met mine.
16:58After class he hurried out.
17:00Why are you here?
17:03For you.
17:04You don't need to do this.
17:06The academy has a kitchen.
17:07I can make my own.
17:10Thanks for the food.
17:12I can't eat it all by myself.
17:15You should leave soon.
17:16If someone sees, it won't look good for you.
17:19He really didn't want to be my mate.
17:22I know.
17:23He dodged me at every turn, afraid to be tied to me.
17:28Back home I stared at my fuzzy reflection in the basin and forced a smile.
17:33Linden had said my looks were tempting, and that I only thought about mating all day.
17:37Someone as proper as Silas would probably only like girls like Nora.
17:45I counted my few coins over and over.
17:48I still didn't have enough for the year's tax.
17:51Writing and painting to earn money was too slow.
17:54I was worrying when I suddenly remembered Silas's strange tales.
17:58An idea hit me.
17:59Maybe I could write the weird stories pack members liked and sell them to the bookshop.
18:04I shut my door and wrote for three days.
18:07I put down a few chapters about a silver wolf returning the favor.
18:11The shopkeeper was uninterested at first.
18:14He read it anyway.
18:15When he finished, he slapped 50 silver coins on the counter and said,
18:20Miss, go write more.
18:22I'll sell this half now.
18:23If it sells, we can do the rest.
18:28The first thing I did with the money was go to the market.
18:31Now how Silas keeps sneaking food in at night.
18:35But Silas still came at midnight.
18:37If there was nowhere to put the food, he swept the yard.
18:41Sometimes he cut the meat.
18:43He was always busy.
18:44One morning I opened the door and heard a small clink at my feet.
18:48A little mirror lay on the ground.
18:50I bent to pick it up.
18:51I couldn't say how I felt.
18:53He didn't talk much to me, but he was quietly kind.
18:57The stories sold better than I expected.
19:01In less than a month I had saved enough for the tax.
19:07Harvest Moon was the pack's biggest holiday.
19:10I had the food ready early.
19:12Today is Harvest Moon.
19:15After the festival say goodbye to Simus.
19:17I waited from dawn to dusk.
19:20He never came back.
19:22Alice, look how hated you are.
19:25You scared him away.
19:27Holidays alone are dull.
19:29I hoisted my pack and went to the pack council.
19:33Only one wolf was on duty.
19:35I hesitated, then asked.
19:37If someone pays the tax late, can the assigned mate be cancelled?
19:42He flipped through the roster.
19:44Name?
19:45Alice and Silas.
19:47They seem well matched.
19:48Why would you ask?
19:49Mr. Silas heard that a she-wolf couldn't pay the unbonded tax.
19:55He came, gave money, begged the elders.
19:58He asked them to mark his name with hers if she couldn't pay.
20:01Musters.
20:02They always have schemes.
20:05If the mate bond hasn't been signed yet, and she pays the tax late, there's a 30% subsurgeon.
20:13Tell your friend to think it over.
20:15It wasn't random.
20:17It wasn't a mistake.
20:19It wasn't just kindness.
20:21He'd planned it all along.
20:25Harvest Moon was the pack's biggest holiday.
20:28I had the food ready early.
20:30Today is Harvest Moon.
20:33After the festival, say goodbye to Silas.
20:36I waited from dawn to dusk.
20:38He never came back.
20:40Alice, look how hated you are.
20:43You scared him away.
20:45Holidays alone are dull.
20:47I hoisted my pack and went to the pack council.
20:51Only one wolf was on duty.
20:53I hesitated, then asked.
20:55If someone pays the tax late, can the assigned mate be cancelled?
21:00He flipped through the roster.
21:02Name?
21:03Alice and Silas.
21:05They seem well matched, why would you ask?
21:07Mr. Silas heard that a she-wolf couldn't pay the unbonded tax.
21:13He came, gave money, begged the elders.
21:15He asked them to mark his name with hers if she couldn't pay.
21:19Busters.
21:20They always have schemes.
21:23If the mate bond hasn't been signed yet, and she pays the tax late, there's a 30% subsurgeon.
21:31Tell your friend to think it over.
21:33It wasn't random.
21:34It wasn't a mistake.
21:37It wasn't just kindness.
21:39He'd planned it all along.
21:42I ran home, heart pounding.
21:50Silas stood in the yard.
21:52He held a moon-shaped lantern and gave a bitter smile into the empty space.
21:57Mr. Silas.
22:04You...
22:05I thought you left.
22:08I have known everything about our mate bond.
22:16This I didn't think it through.
22:18Don't get me wrong.
22:19I have no other intentions.
22:21It's just... just...
22:25I pressed him, and he finally told me things I hadn't known.
22:29He was a lone wolf.
22:31My father had taken him in.
22:33My father gave him food, and helped him go to the academy.
22:37The first time I went to the academy to look for Lyndon, he recognized me.
22:42He wanted to help, but I had a fiancé.
22:45He couldn't interfere.
22:47You were only six back then.
22:50Your father trained students at the academy every day.
22:54You sat by the side, do you remember?
22:56I... I thought...
22:58Your father saved my life.
23:00He was such a good man, I wanted to repay him.
23:03If he knew you were forced into a mating chest and living in misery, his heart would break.
23:09Stay here for now.
23:10If you meet someone you love in the future, I will, as a brother, arrange the mating ceremony for you.
23:18So the silver wolf from the stories really had come to return a favor.
23:22But... I thought about all the little things from these past days.
23:27Is that it?
23:28In the stories, the silver wolf repays by offering itself.
23:33Not entirely.
23:35At first it was to repay you.
23:38Now I have my own feelings.
23:40He was too shy to say more.
23:43Still, I saw that hidden affection in his eyes.
23:46I hurried to change the subject.
23:49What is this?
23:51A gift for you.
23:55I remember you liked moon-shaped lanterns when you were little.
23:59I don't know if you still do.
24:01I stepped forward without thinking.
24:03When I took the lantern, I gently held his hand.
24:06Silas' fingers jumped.
24:09Next year...
24:12Can we spend Harvest Moon together again?
24:14Of course.
24:17Linden had barely come home before he and his friends clustered around a table.
24:21Linden, I heard Alice paid another year's unbonded tax.
24:26She really loves you.
24:28Lucky you.
24:32Aren't you worried she might stop paying and mate with someone else?
24:36Would she?
24:37A daughter of a fallen family who can't even afford decent clothes.
24:42Who would want her as a mate?
24:47I am the only one who doesn't despise her.
24:50You're the alpha heir.
24:52Why not just pay the tax for Alice directly?
24:54What do you know?
24:56If she never learns to save, how will she appreciate silver?
25:00If she truly becomes my mate and lives a good life, she'll get cocky.
25:06Don't be moved by her little sacrifices.
25:09She's trying to trade a small favor for a big prize.
25:13Look at this.
25:15Such scheming can't hide from me.
25:18Linden, did you hear?
25:20Mr. Silas has a mate now.
25:22Should we send a gift?
25:24Mr. Silas?
25:26Oh, him.
25:27a lone wolf playing mister don't make me laugh i heard it's a mate assigned by the council
25:34neither of them could afford the unmade tax
25:39family who can't even pay the unbonded tax what good daughters do they raise a lone wolf and a
25:46low-born girl truly a match made in fate somehow he suddenly thought of me how many years has alice
