Short filmTranscript
00:00My wedding is hours away, and my fiancƩ just ran off to tend to his childhood sweetheart.
00:17Don't be petty. If you don't want to lose me, then postpone the mating ceremony.
00:21Then postpone the mating ceremony.
00:23I called my seven-year nemesis instead.
00:26I'm short a groom for today's mating ceremony. Care to do me a favor?
00:32Sylvia's really running a fever, and her wolf is weak.
00:36Every time she's been sick since we were kids, I've been by her side. I can't rest easy otherwise.
00:43Ethan's voice came through the phone, but it couldn't hurt me anymore.
00:47On my birthday, Sylvia got jostled at the high-end ball and ended up with bruises on her arm.
00:53He left me that same night, to go tend to her dot on our anniversary.
00:57Sylvia got gossiped about at moonlight for me.
00:59Bring what people call call an omega, who latches onto others.
01:04She felt so wronged.
01:06Ethan left me to comfort her, the entire night.
01:09Even the night before our wedding, Sylvia said she had a fever.
01:14He dropped me immediately, and traveled across miles, just to sit by her bedside.
01:26Ethan, I'm asking one last time. Can you make it back for the noon ceremony or not?
01:32Lydia, I'm at Sylvia's work site right now. It's three hours to the nearest airport. I can't make it.
01:39Just postpone the ceremony for one day, all right?
01:44Postpone? My family is decorating the wedding house with me right now.
01:47All our pack members and guests are either at the Moonbloom altar already or on their way.
01:53You're telling me to postpone? What am I supposed to tell them?
02:01Lydia?
02:02Tell them what? That my fiancƩ is a thousand miles away with another she-wolf?
02:07That you're a cheating fiancƩ? That she's a slut who stole you?
02:13Lydia, what's between me and Sylvia isn't what you think. Don't be so petty.
02:22Petty?
02:23You and Sylvia should just get married on the spot, signing your mate bond right now.
02:27Why waste all these years of mine?
02:28Four years. I've watched their acting for four years.
02:31I'm tired. I delivered my final ultimatum dot.
02:33If you can't make it back today, we're done.
02:36Lydia, I understand you're emotionally unstable out of your jealousy.
02:39But like I said, I just can't make it back.
02:42If you don't want to lose me, then postpone the wedding.
02:46With that, he hung up in a huffed dot, as if I was the one in the wrong all along
02:50dot.
02:51I was wrong. I brought this on myself dot, but from now on, never again.
02:55People rushed in through the door.
02:57They saw the smashed picture frames and froze.
03:01Lydia, what happened? What did that bastard Ethan say?
03:05Don't hurt yourself. Let me smash.
03:09The wedding room was a disaster zone.
03:13Forget it. No wedding is better than this.
03:16I will tell your father to explain it to your grandfather.
03:22Who says I'm not getting married?
03:28I dialed my arch nemesis, Orion Silvermoon, the Silvermoon noble representative on the council.
03:34Future Duke of Silvermoon dot back in school.
03:36I came from Shadowmoon commoners.
03:38He was Silvermoon nobility.
03:40We fought for every ranking.
03:41On the council, I represented the Shadowmoon district.
03:44While he led the younger generation of the noble faction.
03:47We argued countless times.
03:49For years, he blocked what was mine, and I took what was his.
03:53Everyone thought we were fire and ice.
04:00I was about to hang up when it connected.
04:03His voice carried a hint of hesitation.
04:05Hello?
04:07Lydia?
04:07Whatever.
04:08Orion Silvermoon was the only one I could think of who might actually say yes.
04:13When he found out I was getting married, he joked.
04:17Wouldn't it be great if you married me instead?
04:20Then we wouldn't have to be arch enemies anymore, mating each other and becoming power couple.
04:25Today, I could lose love, but I could not lose my dignity dot.
04:29This wedding must happen.
04:32Yeah, it's me.
04:34I-
04:34I'm short a groom for today's mating ceremony, Mr. Orion Silvermoon.
04:39Would you mind attending my wedding and signing a mating contract with me?
04:42Lydia, signing a mating contract?
04:45One second.
04:46Two seconds.
04:47Three.
04:48My heart pounded harder.
04:49Disappointment started to creep in.
04:53Lydia, what kind of joke is this?
04:54If-
04:55If you don't want to, then forget-
04:57I do.
04:59You-
04:59You said yes?
05:02Yeah, I said yes.
05:03But, let me make this clear.
05:05I'm not being just a tool.
05:08What do you mean?
05:09Orion Silvermoon.
05:10Doesn't wed a fake mate.
05:12I want a real one.
05:13Someone who can lie beside me.
05:16Someone I can feel flesh and blood, warmth.
05:19You understand?
05:22Deal.
05:25Deal.
05:29So, what do I need to do now?
05:30Get to the Moonbloom altar before 11 a.m. for our ceremony.
05:36Also, we need a wedding house.
05:38Got it.
05:39Leave that to me.
05:40I promise you won't be disappointed.
05:45Orion Silvermoon?
05:46Is that the same Orion Silvermoon you call your arch-nemese on the Council?
05:49Yes, but that can't work.
05:52What if he takes advantage of you?
05:54What if he screws you over?
05:55Why not, Auntie?
05:56I think it's great.
05:58Orion Silvermoon.
05:59The Council represent us just like Lydia, and he is the only heir of the Duke of Silvermoon.
06:04Way better than that two-tipping jerk, Ethan Ashford, who thinks his diplomatic official title makes him special.
06:10Orion Silvermoon and I were just using each other dot, but it didn't matter.
06:15All I wanted was for this ceremony to go on.
06:18I wouldn't lose face because of Ethan Ashford.
06:21And I definitely wouldn't let my family lose face because of me.
06:27You'd better think carefully.
06:28If you don't postpone and end up without a mate at the altar, your family will be the one humiliated
06:33in public.
06:34Either way, the Ashford family won't be attending.
06:37The wedding will not be delayed.
06:39Stop throwing a tantrum.
06:40Don't be so unreasonable.
06:41The Ashford family has noble bliss history.
06:44We're a political dynasty now.
06:46Everyone married to our family is well-behaved and obedient.
06:49Lydia, you want checking to woman's family.
06:51You see also he roaring.
06:53Guy being like a fierce nap.
06:54I hung up.
06:55Couldn't be bothered to listen to their nonsense anymore.
06:58Dot marrying into the Ashford family and suffer dreaming on.
07:05The Ashford family prided themselves on their noble bloodline.
07:09Except they'd lost their noble title generations ago.
07:13All that remained was their last name and their delusion of self-importance.
07:17Even the wedding house I was standing in right now, my parents had bought it because they thought Ashford's chosen
07:23house was too run down.
07:25So this one near my family home was meant to be a gift for the newlyweds after the ceremony.
07:32Once, I saw this place as the start of the happy life I'd been waiting for.
07:36Now, it was evidence of my poor judgment and misplaced trust in a cheater.
07:42After smashing the last photo, I went back home and told the makeup artist to start.
07:56There was no groom's procession coming from the Ashford family anymore.
08:01But tradition said, the bride still had to departure from her family house with her relatives and head to the
08:08moon bloom altar.
08:09I knew that, even though I'd asked Orion, to save the ceremony at the altar, I'd have to play the
08:15part alone, until I got there.
08:17No matter how hard it was, I was going to play this role wonderful today dot.
08:21But what I never expected happened, as we were getting ready to leave, the sound of lutes and ballads, floated
08:28up from downstairs.
08:40Lydia, groom is here!
08:43I quickly finished dressing and went downstairs.
08:55What the hell exclamation Orion Silvermoon and I were four years of competing in school, three years of fighting on
09:02the council.
09:03I'd known him for seven years.
09:05I'd always known that behind his gentlemanly nobility facade, you should never be fooled by his handsome looks into messing
09:11with him dot.
09:12But right now, in this moment, I had no way back.
09:16Orion Silvermoon, what are you doing with this huge spectacle?
09:20I'm marrying you.
09:23I'm marrying you.
09:25Mark me.
09:38There you come, the loving pair.
09:44Orion's father, his grace the duke of Silvermoon.
09:47I'd crossed paths with him, a few times on the council, but Orion's mother, I was meeting for the first
09:53time.
09:54Orion told me his future mate was exceptionally pretty, seeing now, truly stunning.
10:00Here you come, Lydia.
10:02No wonder our son chased his mate for so long.
10:05Don't you agree, Nolan?
10:06Orion chased for so long?
10:08What?
10:08Your grace.
10:09Excuse us.
10:13Off you go, young lovers.
10:15You- didn't I tell you to just go straight to the moonbloom altar?
10:19That's what I'm doing, picking up my bride and going.
10:21What, mad?
10:22Hey, hey, Lydia Vouse.
10:24I told you, I'm fine with getting married, but I refuse to be a prop.
10:27You want to save face, don't I?
10:29If I go straight to the altar and make my bride walk out of her own family home alone, what
10:32do you think people will say about me?
10:36I- okay, I get it.
10:39How did you manage to arrange all this in just two hours?
10:42Compared to you, this is nothing.
10:45What?
10:46Nothing.
10:47My bride, shouldn't we get going?
10:49Any later, and we'll be cutting it close.
10:55Orion, pick her up, hurry!
10:58The wolf pack honored strength.
11:00A bride leaving her family home had to be carried to the wedding car by her groom.
11:05But before today, I never would have imagined the one giving me this wedding lift with Orion Silvermoon.
11:13In my memory, this guy had a venomous tongue.
11:16If words alone could kill, I'd have died a thousand times by his mouth.
11:22Back in school, summer camp was when girls' feelings grew.
11:25The heat, the outdoor bonding were perfect conditions for sweet romance.
11:30Back then, I sort of liked the tall, handsome school quarterback.
11:34Once, I was just about to successfully play the damsel in distress and get him to carry my water bottle
11:41when that jerk Orion Silvermoon said,
11:43Lydia Vant, did you break your hand?
11:45She's tired from the hike.
11:46That bottle is heavy.
11:47Let me carry it for her.
11:54Think you can carry it now?
11:55The scene was so awkward.
11:57The quarterback was pretty embarrassed, too.
11:59He never talked to me again.
12:01And my sweet school romance died, right there in its cradle.
12:04After that, he got even worse.
12:06He kept popping up out of nowhere to mess with me.
12:09Every chance I had to get close to a handsome guy, he ruined it.
12:12After graduation, I found a relationship, joined the council, and had both career and love.
12:18I thought I'd finally say goodbye to troublesome Orion, for good.
12:23But we ran right into each other again on the council.
12:25He was the next leader of the noble faction.
12:28I was the rising star from the commoner side.
12:30We were always on opposite sides of the chamber, fighting teeth and nail.
12:35Even now, in his arms, I felt cherished, seen, loved.
12:40Focus on me.
12:42No thinking about others, my bride.
12:47Can't wait to leave your mark on me, can you, my mate?
12:49You are Orion's still a pest.
12:54Noon.
12:55The moon bloom altar.
12:56The ceremony began.
12:57Wasn't the groom supposed to be Ethan Ashford?
12:59This one is way all or grub the taller and way more handsome than Ethan Ashford.
13:03Lydia switched grooms at the last second?
13:05Wait, he's wearing Silvermoon noble crest?
13:07Juicy.
13:09I looked at the guests about to explain, but Orion Silvermoon beat me to it.
13:20Dear families and friends, I am Orion Silvermoon, and I am Lydia Vounce's mate.
13:26Today, thank you all for coming to our wedding to witness how our love has finally found its
13:31way here after countless cries.
13:31Orion's mouth.
13:31He really dared to say anything.
13:34After the wrong one is sent away, you will realize how precious the right one is.
13:37Beneath the moon bloom tree, with the moon goddess as our witness, Lydia and I finally become
13:42blessed mates.
13:42Oh, mean goddess.
13:45All these years, I thought Orion Silvermoon's tongue was just sharp.
13:49Turns out, it could also spin tails out of thin air.
13:52Good thing the Ashford's said they wouldn't come, and they really kept their word.
13:56Otherwise, this speech would have given them a stroke.
13:59I watched Orion weave those love stories I'd never even heard of, and suddenly felt when
14:05my biggest enemy's venom stopped spraying at me, and started spraying with me.
14:10I have nails.
14:11Yeah.
14:11This feels pretty good.
14:13Next, the ring exchange.
14:16The one I prepared was for Ethan's size exclamation.
14:19No.
14:20No, no, no, no.
14:24Whether they fit or not, Orion Silvermoon, you was going to have to put them on.
14:29Then, this box wasn't the box for me, and Ethan's rings.
14:36Is that the Silvermoon Eye?
14:38The heirloom of the Silvermoon family?
14:39It hasn't left the Silvermoon family in centuries.
14:42What a royal romance.
14:44A handsome, rich duke's heir.
14:46Ten times better than Ethan Ashfold.
14:47I wouldn't want Ethan either.
14:49He really is just a wrong one to skip.
14:51What's the real story behind the groom change?
14:52I feel like there's more to this.
14:54Eh, who cares?
14:55Just enjoy the show.
14:57Why does it fit perfectly?
14:59And now, Orion Silvermoon, under the watch of the moon goddess, beneath the moonbloom tree,
15:06in the presence and with the blessings of family and friends.
15:09I was about to turn my face away, when he leaned down.
15:16He leaned down, and kissed me.
15:18My emotions were already all over the place.
15:20But after the ceremony, still not over.
15:22Some guests wanted to see our wedding house.
15:24What, were we going to show them the wreckage I'd made in the house meant for me, and my
15:28ex-Tian Fiong?
15:29No, no, no.
15:30Lydia Vance does not embarrass herself like that.
15:33This guy had lost his mind.
15:34Everyone, you're all welcome.
15:36Follow the wedding procession.
15:38Orion Silvermoon, the substitute groom, had already done more than perfectly.
15:42How could he possibly have had time to arrange the wedding house too?
15:45On the way there, I was worried sick.
15:47I wanted to blame him for agreeing to their request.
15:50But then I thought about it.
15:51To be fair, as a substitute groom today, he'd already done more than enough.
15:55More than good enough.
15:56But when we arrived, I realized I'd been wrong.
15:59The staff setting this up just left.
16:01From the entrance, to the villa, to the wedding room, flawlessly arranged.
16:04And the craziest part, there were even wedding portraits.
16:07Judging by the bride in the photos.
16:09They were clearly the ones I'd taken with Ethan before.
16:11But the groom standing next to me in the pictures, that was Orion.
16:17After a full day of ceremonies, I was completely exhausted.
16:21After showering, I threw on my nightgown, climbed onto that huge wedding bed without any pretense,
16:26and just collapsed.
16:27I couldn't even be bothered to move my toes.
16:34The wedding house arrangements here, how did you pull that off in such a short time?
16:37Money.
16:39All right, all right, you filthy rich guys.
16:42And the wedding portraits, how did you get those?
16:47What if I said Ethan sent them to me?
16:49Would you believe me?
16:52What?
16:54He sent them to you?
16:56Why would he do that?
16:58Guess.
17:00Fine, keep it yourself.
17:02He walked toward me.
17:03I quickly looked away.
17:04My throat felt dry.
17:07But I still said,
17:09I want to sleep alone for now.
17:14You mean separate rooms?
17:16Maybe it was because we'd been arched in enemies for so long.
17:19But I knew that to win against him, you didn't fight fire with fire.
17:23You picked your moments to soften.
17:24Three days.
17:25Three days?
17:26Could we-
17:27No.
17:29Don't burn the bridge after you've crossed it.
17:33Have some conscience.
17:38I stared at his back and suddenly felt like laughing.
17:41He didn't seem so hard to handle after all.
17:43But before I could finish feeling happy, I saw him go into the bathroom, come out quickly, and stride over
17:49to the big couch across the room.
17:51He lay down.
17:52I froze.
17:53I froze.
17:53Now, Orion.
17:54Still, you passed.
17:58What are you doing?
18:01Didn't I say I wanted to sleep alone?
18:08Aren't you sleeping alone?
18:09Aren't you sleeping alone right now?
18:11I was so frustrated, I started laughing.
18:13I sat up angrily.
18:15I meant I sleep alone in this room, I meant I sleep alone in this room, and you go sleep
18:18in the guest room.
18:19No chance.
18:22No chance.
18:49No chance.
18:50No chance.
18:51No chance.
18:52Orion saw my hesitation and guessed immediately.
18:57lydia i'm about to board two hours from now come pick me up at the airport

25:29what is ethan ashford to us now?
25:31our family said that after lydia gets married the villa can be registered in the young couple's name
25:36but our family's son-in-law is not ethan ashford
25:41it's the silver moon family
25:45orion
25:46orion silver moon
25:48yes
25:49my son-in-law's name is orion silver moon
25:52not ethan ashford
25:59fine fine fine fine fine
26:02you cheated on my son
26:04climbed up to a higher branch
26:06and you're still so self-righteous about it
26:08i'm going to expose this
26:11i'll make sure everyone knows about your dirty secrets
26:19with parents like you

26:42i've got plenty more of these
26:44you're welcome to expose whatever you want
26:46i'd love to see who ends up looking like the fool
26:49what did you give them
26:54i just thought ashford couple were a bit snobbish
26:56but ethan ashford is well-mannered
26:59gentle
26:59soft-spoken
27:00and lida wouldn't be living with her in-laws anyway
27:02so i didn't think much of it
27:04but now that i think about it
27:06thank the moon goddess leah didn't marry into that family
27:19oh my moon goddess
27:26silver moon hereby shall convey these gifts to you all
27:28we're family now
27:29no need for gifts
27:31i just heard you enjoy chess
27:32we happen to have some antique chess sets at home
27:34ones that came from the palace in the old days
27:35better to let someone who appreciates them enjoy them
27:38than to let them gather dust in a corner
27:39palace chess sets
27:40yes grandfather please take a look
27:42the wood grain is exquisite
27:44the piece is smooth to touch
27:45fine archaic quality
27:46this is too valuable you should take it back
27:48the vance the most precious treasure in family
27:50has already married into my family
27:52grandfather
27:52if you still accept me as your grandson-in-law
27:55please do accept this small gift
27:56the other box contained fine black tea
27:58which my dad loved
28:00an antique necklace
28:01perfect for my mom's collection hobby
28:04and gifts for uncle and cousins
28:07then i watched orion play chess with grandfather
28:09evenly matched and eventually
28:13tactically losing subtly to grandfather
28:16then he drank tea with my dad
28:18speaking with impressive knowledge
28:20what a coincidence
28:21i like this actor too
28:23you know
28:23he and i as well as lydia
28:25we actually went to the same academy
28:27whoa

28:28lydia
28:29ori is good
28:31you two live well together
28:33yes

28:36i'll cook for you myself
28:38mom
28:39listen to your mother
28:48tired
28:48i'm okay
28:53orion
28:54didn't he think this was too intimate
28:56even though we were already mated
28:57before this
28:58we were arch enemies
29:00why so quiet
29:02why did you agree to marry me
29:04why would i say no
29:05you're beautiful
29:06smart
29:06and capable
29:07plus marrying you means i have one less formidable opponent
29:10don't even think about it
29:11we're not gonna let this affect our debates on the council
29:13we will see
29:14he chuckled
29:15i didn't understand what he meant
29:20lydia
29:20that historic building maintenance proposal
29:22the one we've been fighting over for three months
29:24the noble representatives have finally relented
29:26they're willing to come to the table for negotiation
29:28really goddess knew what got into them
29:30the elders and guard is still worried about noble assets
29:33and won't fully budge
29:34but mr silverville convinced them to at least sit down and talk
29:37who knew the new leader of the noble faction would suddenly be so cooperative
29:41is it because he just got married and good fortune is spreading to our stalled proposal
29:44whoever she is
29:45let's all thank this mysterious mrs silvermoon
29:47our dead boxed work finally has hope
29:49you didn't know that you had not only met mrs silvermoon
29:52but that mrs silvermoon was standing right in front of you
29:55miss vance
29:57what's wrong aren't you happy
29:59nothing go for your work
30:02why the sudden concession on the deadlock proposal
30:04it's not a concession
30:05it's allowing both sides to negotiate better
30:06usually you would have fought me to the ground on this
30:09you were someone else's partner
30:10now you're my mate
30:11why would i fight against my own mate
30:13and i'm here to pick you up from work my mate
30:18before bed while i was in the bathroom putting on a face mask an unknown number called me
30:24i got calls and you didn't tell me
30:28out there
30:34how does he know this place
30:35with that many people at the wedding there's always one or two who like to stir up trouble
30:39want to go out
30:42you sure about this
30:43yeah
30:45one last time
30:51lydia you finally come to talk to me
31:00lydia i need to talk to you

31:22lydia vance you're nothing but a bi

31:35the moment you slept with sylvia you knew this was coming
31:39you knew
31:42you promised me you wouldn't let her find out
31:45sylvia stayed silent
31:46but the corner of her mouth curled into a bitter sad smile
31:49suddenly i didn't hate her anymore
31:51because she was not only hateful but also pitiful
31:53let's make it no more troubles
31:55from now on
31:56you go your way

32:32orion loves me
32:33this was unbelievable
32:34and how did ethan know
32:36back in the room
32:37i kept pressing him for answers
32:42the year we graduated
32:43ethan picked my lost wallet
32:45inside was a photo of you
32:48that's when he figured out i liked you
32:50after graduation you got together with him
32:53when you took your wedding photos he sent them to me
32:56now you can finally give up
32:58after orion finished he lay down on the couch and stared at me without saying another word
33:02the room was quiet for a long time
33:05but haven't we always been arch enemies
33:09who wanted to be your arch enemy
33:12what
33:14nothing
33:15i just love you
33:16that's all there is to it
33:21his ears were red
33:22i'd never seen anything like it
33:25i couldn't help but burst out laughing
33:26orion silvermoon
33:29are you blushing
33:31tell me honestly
33:32ullen of the greatest joys in life
33:34seeing your arch enemy with red ears
33:38you're so heavy
33:39get off
33:40laugh one more time
33:41and i'm sleeping in the bed with you tonight
33:44i swallowed hard
33:45i didn't dare breathe
33:46the next second orion silvermoon let go of me
33:50i immediately jumped off the couch and fled back to the bed
33:53pulling the covers over my head
33:54my heart was pounding
33:55the biggest enemy of my life for the past seven years
33:58has actually liked me this whole time
34:10it's still early sleep more
34:12i'll leave breakfast for you just eat and head straight to your field work
34:15i drifted back to sleep still half conscious
34:18when i woke up again
34:19a long time had passed
34:21i went downstairs
34:28but unfortunately
34:29that afternoon
34:29when i was doing an on-site survey
34:31with the municipal liaison yara
34:33at an old manor that was under renovation
34:35a falling stone hit my head
34:37there was a lot of blood
34:41i was rushed to the hospital immediately
34:43severe concussion
34:45the doctor admitted me for observation
34:46when orion arrived
34:48his face was calm but worried
34:49only after he'd spoken with the doctor
34:51and understood the situation
34:52did his expression finally relax
34:54the few days i stayed for observation
34:56everything i ate
34:57drank and used
34:58he arranged personally
34:59a man i'd always thought of as arrogant and rough
35:02i never expected he could be so patient and gentle
35:04when taking care of someone
35:06finally i was cleared to leave
35:07orion had some business to handle
35:09his mother
35:10the duchess of silver moon
35:11came to visit
35:12the duchess was very gentle
35:13after asking about my injuries
35:15she set down her gift
35:16and sat beside me
35:17there's something i've been wanting to tell you
35:19i am listening
35:21lydia do you know why orion chose that academy
35:23you both took back then
35:24do you remember the moon bloom festival
35:26students camp seven years ago
35:29you gave a speech representing the shadow moon one
35:31packs youth group
35:36the heir to the silver moon family
35:37according to tradition
35:38should have gone to the some prestigious academy
35:40for nobles only
35:41but that year
35:42he refused
35:43he insisted on going to that newly opened public academy instead
35:47later
35:48later i found out he'd seen a girl during an inter-school event
35:50just that one time
35:52and he'd already lost his heart
35:53he told me that day
35:55standing there
35:56the moonlight on you shone straight into his heart
36:09the girl orion liked seven years ago
36:12me
36:16the day before you got married
36:18orion cried to me that
36:20the girl he liked was about to marry someone else
36:25that night i was worried so i went to check on him
36:28i saw his computer screen
36:29full of wedding photos
36:31i thought the girl in those photos must be the one he loves
36:34such a shame she was about to belong to someone else
36:37then
36:39unexpectedly
36:40early the next morning
36:41he suddenly called me and said he was getting married
36:45and then
36:46i was so confused
36:51i thought he'd lost his mind
36:56who are you marrying
36:58the one i love
37:01the undisguised joy in his voice told me it was real
37:04he told us not to ask too many questions
37:07teen
37:07time was urgent
37:09just follow his arrangements
37:11and be ready
37:12my son hadn't cried since he was five years old
37:15but that night when i went to see him
37:17he was drinking and crying at the same time
37:21lydia i begs you please cherish him well
37:24because he really really loves you
37:31yes
37:33mother what are you telling lydia
37:35embarrassed orion
37:36love should be spoken out loud
37:39mom
37:40don't stir up trouble
37:41i can take care of my own person
37:43you go weish
37:44we're leaving
37:44on the way
37:45i kept turning to look at him
37:48i was trying to imagine him crying
37:56lydia
37:57if you've taken the wrong pills just say so
37:59we can go back to the hospital for a stomach pump
38:01it's not too late
38:06is it really okay to be so sharp-tongued with an injured patient
38:09and it's okay for you to look at your mate like he's an idiot
38:15come clean
38:16and i'll make you something good to eat today
38:19what if i don't
38:24then i'll still have to make you something good
38:29see there you go
38:33at night when it was almost time to sleep orion silvermoon paced and hesitated by the bed
38:38according to his original promise he'd given me three days of sleeping alone
38:41now he thought it was time to come back to the nest
38:44to be honest if i didn't know that he liked me i might still have tried to stop
38:47but how should i put it
38:48a rich handsome guy powerful and completely devoted to his mate
38:52secretly in love with me for years
38:54there probably aren't many men like that in the world right
38:57maybe i should give it a try
39:01you're not gonna roll over and hit my head in the middle of the night are you
39:04how could that happen
39:05i sleep very peacefully i never move around
39:10then come and sleep
39:12okay
39:14don't worry i won't touch your wound
39:17that will do
39:22good night my love
39:24well that was unexpected
39:28i stayed home recovering for a few more days dot
39:33during this time aside from occasionally going out
39:36orion silvermoon spent most of his time at home with me
39:40three meals a day he made them all himself
39:42never complaining dot also
39:44i got along very well with orion's mother
39:47actually the person who got along best with the duchess
39:50was my mom
39:57the duchess and i made plans for afternoon tea orion's mom and i are getting manis
40:05mir and i booked a trip together
40:23one morning while he was cooking i quietly came up behind him and hugged him
40:29orion silvermoon are you trying to spoil me until i can't do the houseworks anymore
40:33like you were doing any of these daily chores before i showed up
40:37that was true
40:38but after eating my cooking and experiencing my care
40:42from now on without me no matter how rich you are
40:46you'll never find anyone who takes care of you with such attention to detail
40:49i'm gonna make you so spoiled
40:52that you'll see how could you live without me
40:54then what if you change your heart in the future and leave me
40:59won't i be in a terrible position
41:02change my heart
41:03i survived seven years of unrequited love
41:05now that i finally got you in my jaws why would i let go
41:07don't even think about it mrs silvermoon
41:09you're not getting away
41:10oh is that so
41:11then maybe i'll take one gamble
41:15gamble on a love story to happily ever after
41:20so that day when you called me and asked me to be the groom
41:24do you know what that felt like for me
41:26what did it feel like
