07:01I reached up and cradled his face in both hands
07:06Your eyes are beautiful
07:10Like gemstones
07:15Can I kiss you?
07:17Something moved through his expression
07:18Complicated, searching
07:20After a long moment
07:23Amelia
07:25I'm not stopping you from going to Nathan anymore
07:27You don't have to say things you don't mean
07:29I mean every word
07:31Enough
07:32Out
07:34I knew I couldn't push too hard
07:36So I dropped my gaze
07:38Accepted the loss
07:39And stood to lead
07:40I fell straight into his arms
07:43And kissed him
07:44Directly on the mouth
07:47I hadn't even registered
07:49I hadn't even registered the impact
07:50Before Allerg made a sharp, strangled sound
07:53Against my lips
07:54Amelia, you
07:55He looked like he was about to combust
08:01He didn't answer
08:03Eyes squeezed shut
08:05Cheeks flushed
08:06An alarming shade of red
08:08Breathing ragged
08:09You're burning up
08:10Do you have a fever?
08:13He grabbed my wrist
08:14The next second I was outside the study
08:17The door slammed in my face
08:19Alaric?
08:20Are you angry with me?
08:22It was an accident
08:23I just wanted to apologize
08:26I'll come back later if you know
08:27The door flew open again
08:29My hand was seized
08:30I was back against the wall
08:32Where do you think you're going?
08:34His voice was rough
08:36His robe half open
08:37Every line of him taught
08:39To find someone else
08:41His skin was scorching
08:43His breath came uneven
08:45Do you know what happens
08:46When you provoke a demon in heat?
08:50What kind of woman does this?
08:52You started it
08:53And now you want to walk away to another man?
08:56His thumb traced my lower lip
08:58His eyes had gone deep red
09:00Go ahead
09:01Blame me for this
09:02You always do
09:04Amelia
09:05I'm telling you now
09:07If you leave
09:08You can still make it to Nathan's dinner
09:11He let go
09:12Turned to walk away
09:14I stared at his retreating back
09:17Why would I go have dinner with someone else?
09:20You're the one I want to have dinner with
09:21I hesitated
09:22Then added
09:23Darling
09:24The word landed like a match strike
09:27Alaric wrenched his arm back
09:29And put three full steps between us
09:31Amelia
09:33I'm right here
09:34He laughed
09:35Sharp
09:36Humorless
09:38Last time you called me that
09:39It was to pull off my scales
09:40And send them to Nathan
09:42His eyes cut into me
09:44So what is it this time?
09:46My heart?
09:49I grabbed his hand
09:50And refused to let go
09:52That's not why
09:53We're married
09:54It's a completely normal thing
09:56For a wife to call her husband
09:59He still didn't believe me
10:01His gaze swept over me
10:03Then flicked to his watch
10:04If you don't leave soon
10:06You'll genuinely miss
10:07Do you want me to go see another man that badly?
10:10I rose onto my toes
10:12And looped both arms around his neck
10:14I never wanted to see him
10:17I only want to see you
10:19And I'm starving
10:20I haven't eaten all day
10:22Something flickered in those calm, still eyes
10:26I rushed out to find you and wore the wrong shoes
10:30My feet are killing me
10:32A long silence
10:33Then a sigh
10:34The sound of a man surrendering to something inevitable
10:37He crouched down
10:39And carefully took my ankle in his hand
10:41Let me see
10:42He examined my foot with quiet focus
10:45I looked down at him
10:46How did I never notice how absurdly handsome he is?
10:51What if I kissed him right now?
10:53Would he push me down immediately?
10:56Should I?
10:57I'm going to
10:58Just once
10:59Just
11:01Amelia, did he agree?
11:03Why aren't you answering?
11:04Did he say no?
11:05Play on his sympathy
11:06Make him feel sorry for you
11:07Amelia, it's all just strategy
11:09I know you hate him
11:11But once we have his blood
11:13We can be together
11:14Forever
11:15My chest seized
11:17I looked up
11:18Alaric was already looking at me
11:20His eyes had gone dark
11:23Terrifyingly dark
11:24He looked at me for one long moment
11:26Then let out a short, contemptuous laugh
11:29He dropped my ankle
11:30Stood
11:31And walked away
11:32Alaric
11:33It's not what you heard
11:36It's fine, Amelia
11:37Go to him
11:38I told you
11:39I won't stand in your way
11:40His back was trembling
11:42I bit down hard and ran after him
11:44Wrapped both arms around him from behind
11:47He went rigid
11:48I didn't give him time to pull away
11:50I turned him around
11:51Pulled his hands apart
11:53And kissed him
11:54Messy
11:55Desperate
11:56Graceless
11:57He tried to resist
11:59Worried about hurting me
12:00He couldn't bring himself to push hard
12:02He stood there
12:03Frozen
12:04And let me make a fool of myself
12:06Against his face
12:07Then I pulled back
12:08And looked him dead in the eye
12:09I was wrong about Nathan
12:11I'd lost my mind
12:14Alaric
12:15I swear
12:17From now on
12:18There is only you
12:20He looked at me
12:21From under heavy lashes
12:22Then looked away
12:23With a small
12:24Bitter smile
12:26You've said that before
12:27More times than I can count
12:28This time is different
12:30He turned the ring on his finger
12:32Said nothing
12:33Didn't believe me
12:34I watched his hand
12:36And then I remembered
12:37The demon mate bond
12:39He'd asked me for it
12:40Every time
12:42I'd refused
12:44I want to form the bond with you
12:46Tie myself to you
12:48Permanently
12:49Yes
12:49And from the crystal on the floor
12:51Nathan's voice rang out again
12:55Amelia
12:55I'm drunk
12:57Come pick me up
12:58I glanced at the antique clock
13:00Half past eleven at night
13:02I picked up the crystal
13:03And smiled sweetly into it
13:05Of course Nathan
13:07I'm on my way right now
13:08Just wait for me okay
13:09Don't move
13:11I'm coming I promise
13:12I dropped the crystal
13:14Switched it off
13:15And tossed it across the room
13:17Let him wait all night
13:18Preferably forever
13:20A chill crept up my spine
13:22I turned around
13:24Alaric stood in the doorway
13:26Bare chested
13:27Towel around his shoulders
13:29Completely still
13:30Watching me
13:32With dark
13:32Unreadable eyes
13:34What?
13:36He didn't answer
13:37Turned and walked back
13:39Into the bathroom
13:39The door slammed
13:41He'd heard the voice message
13:44He'd misunderstood
13:45I rushed after him
13:47And the bathroom door
13:48Swung open
13:49Before I could knock
13:50Alaric I
13:52The words died
13:53He'd changed out of his robe
13:55Just a towel at his waist
13:57Hair dripping
13:58Water trailing down his chest
14:00Following the lines
14:02Of his abdomen
14:02All the way down into
14:04I completely forgot
14:06What I was going to say
14:07Going out?
14:09Mm-hmm
14:11Wait no
14:12No I'm not
14:13He stepped closer
14:14Are you coming back?
14:16I'm not going anywhere
14:18I'm not picking him up
14:19My legs gave out
14:20I slid straight
14:22Into his arms
14:23Amelia
14:23What's wrong?
14:24It must have been the steam
14:26Too much heat
14:27Not enough air
14:28Come sit down
14:29Let me get you water
14:30He leaned down
14:31To hand me the glass
14:32His warmth
14:33Radiating against me
14:35His jaw
14:36Right there
14:37At eye level
14:37The line of his throat
14:40And above that
14:41I was suddenly
14:42Very thirsty
14:44And having
14:45Significant
14:46Trouble breathing
14:47I shook my head hard
14:49Stood up abruptly
14:50And walked away
14:51Behind me
14:52Alaric opened his eyes
14:53Something glinted in them
14:55Sharp and quietly amused
14:58I'd been sleeping in the guest room
14:59Since the wedding
15:00All my things were in there
15:02I went to collect them
15:04I was deep in the closet
15:05When his voice came from the doorway
15:10Getting clothes
15:11Or going to Nathan
15:12He was watching me
15:13With that carefully
15:14Controlled expression
15:16The one that barely
15:17Covered the ache
15:18Underneath
15:19It's cold outside
15:21Remember to
15:22He paused
15:23Wear a coat
15:25He turned
15:25And retreated
15:26Into the master bedroom
15:27Shutting the door
15:28Behind him
15:29Three minutes later
15:30I shoved that door open
15:32With both arms
15:33Full of clothes
15:34Alaric looked up
15:35I glared at him
15:37Breathless
15:38Help me
15:39I have too much
15:40I'm about to drop
15:41Everything
15:41He stared for a beat
15:43What are you doing?
15:44I dumped everything
15:45On the floor
15:46Isn't it obvious?
15:47I'm moving in
15:48I pushed his clothes
15:49To one side of the closet
15:51And hung all of mine
15:52Next to them
15:53Alaric hadn't said a word
15:55He'd just followed me
15:56Around the room
15:57Like a shadow
15:57Amelia, what's this?
16:01Lipstick
16:03How do you use it?
16:04How does anyone use lipstick?
16:06You put it on your lips
16:08Can I help you put it on?
16:10Before I could answer
16:11He kissed me
16:13He kissed me
16:14Until I had to push him back
16:15Just to breathe
16:16I thought you were helping me
16:18With my lipstick
16:19I did
16:20His eyes were dark
16:22And full of something consuming
16:24Your lips don't need it anymore
16:27Alaric
16:28I was blind for a long time
16:30I did things that hurt you
16:31But that's over
16:34I'm going to love you
16:35The way you deserve
16:37I don't believe you
16:38Then what would it take?
16:40He stood
16:40Lifted me up
16:41And his tail curled around me
16:44Maybe start by showing me
16:46The next morning
16:47Voices outside pulled me awake
16:49Nathan
16:50Standing in the courtyard
16:52Arms crossed
16:53Wearing the expression of someone
16:55Who'd been kept waiting
16:56And expected the world
16:57To apologize for it
16:59Amelia
17:00Do you know how long
17:02I've been standing out here
17:03Why didn't you come to meet me?
17:04I was busy studying the diamond
17:06On my ring finger
17:08When had Alaric put this on me?
17:10Last night?
17:12Nathan exhaled with theatrical patience
17:14His smile generous
17:16And condescending
17:17All at once
17:18I came personally
17:19To take you home
17:20You must be so relieved
17:22I don't love you anymore
17:25What?
17:25I straightened up
17:26Nathan
17:26I loved you once
17:28But I mistook gratitude for love
17:30You have no place in my heart now
17:32Please go
17:34A flicker of guilt
17:35Crossed his face
17:36Gone almost instantly
17:38Replaced by volume
17:40Amelia
17:41Two years ago
17:42I saved you from drowning
17:45You owe me your life
17:46My parents have always said
17:49I'm your savior
17:50And you owe me a debt
17:52The Ashford family had spent years
17:54Pouring that idea into me
17:55Drop by drop
17:57Until I believed it completely
17:59And because Nathan had saved me once
18:02I had followed him into everything
18:04Not this time
18:06He killed me
18:07We're even
18:08I opened my mouth
18:10And felt the temperature drop around me
18:13I glanced up
18:14Alaric stood on the second floor balcony
18:17Hands in his pockets
18:18Watching
18:20Stop performing Amelia
18:21I know you hate Alaric
18:23You're desperate to come with me
18:25Aren't you?
18:25I'm not
18:27I love Alaric
18:28What?
18:30You're so right
18:31I can't survive a moment away from him
18:34I want to tie myself to him forever
18:36I love him so much
18:38One second without him
18:40And my heart just stops
18:44Footsteps behind me
18:45Alaric
18:46I turned and arranged my face
18:48Into delighted surprise
18:50Darling
18:50When did you get here?
18:52I only just noticed you
18:55Oh no
18:56You heard everything I just said, didn't you?
18:59Every single embarrassing word of it?
19:02Alaric's hand settled at my waist
19:04Every word
19:06Nathan looked like he was about to catch fire
19:08You're lying!
19:09You despise this creature!
19:12Enough
19:13Alaric's arm tightened around me
19:15His eyes moved to Nathan
19:17Flat
19:18Final
19:19You entered this palace only because I allowed it out of courtesy
19:23Let me remind you of something you seem to have forgotten
19:26You were the one who offered her to me
19:30Willingly
19:31To keep your crown
19:32A sacrifice made cannot be unmade
19:35Now get out
19:37And don't come back
19:38Ever
19:38And found himself lifted by his collar
19:42Alaric was about to throw him through the gate
19:44Wait
19:45Amelia
19:47I knew it
19:48You still
19:49Alaric's grip on my hand went rigid
19:53Nathan
19:54Don't come looking for me again
19:57I'm married
19:58I have no interest in contact with you
20:01And I refuse to give my husband any reason to worry
20:03I waved a hand
20:04Go quickly
20:06Don't keep turning around
20:08We have dinner
20:09The grip on my hand softened instantly
20:11Nathan tried one more time
20:13Alaric glanced at him
20:15One glance
20:16That was all it took
20:17Nathan went pale
20:19Shut his mouth
20:20And left
20:21The gate had barely closed before I was against the wall
20:24Now
20:27As my wife
20:29Are you prepared to fulfill certain responsibilities to your lord?
20:35I smiled
20:36And reached up to hook my arms around his neck
20:38Are you jealous?
20:41Jealous?
20:43Why would I be jealous of a coward who doesn't know the first thing about love?
20:47So you do, do know
20:49Have you loved someone before?
20:51My stomach dropped
20:54Wait, seriously?
20:56There was someone?
20:58He lifted me onto his lap
21:00And his tail wound around me
21:01Now it's my turn to ask
21:03Are you jealous?
21:05His lips found mine
21:07I have never loved anyone else
21:09Only you
21:12Will you leave me?
21:13I'm not leaving you
21:14I promise
21:15Then prove it
21:17The sky was already lightning at the edges
21:19When I finally fell asleep
21:21The last thing I felt
21:22Was his lips on my forehead
21:24I have so many gems
21:26So much gold
21:29Everything humans love
21:30I'll give it all to you
21:31Stay with me
21:32Be mine
21:33Forever
21:34I was too exhausted
21:36To answer out loud
21:37I slept deeply
21:39And dreamed
21:40In pieces
21:41In the dream I was 16
21:43My parents were gone
21:45Suddenly terribly gone
21:46The Ashford family took me in
21:49They wanted my parents' estate
21:50So they told me over and over
21:53That Nathan had saved my life
21:55No
21:56It wasn't Nathan
21:58It was a demon
22:00He hadn't hurt me
22:02He'd spread those vast black wings
22:04And carried me down from the mountain
22:06Back to the human kingdom
22:08And left me there
22:09Safely
22:11Nathan's mother slapped me across the face
22:14What demon?
22:16It was Nathan
22:17Nathan saved you
22:19You owe this family everything
22:23She didn't stop until I stopped moving
22:25Stupid girl
22:26I'll beat it into you if I have to
22:29Life in the Ashford house was a long cruelty
22:32She dismissed the servants to save money
22:34And gave me the work instead
22:36Dishes
22:37Cooking
22:38Leftover food
22:39Nathan's old clothes
22:41The floor outside the door for a bed
22:43Anyone in that house could hit me when they felt like it
22:46It hurt so much
22:48I cried myself to sleep almost every night
22:51You said you'd protect me
22:53You said you'd come back when I was grown
22:55Where are you?
22:57It hurts
22:58It really hurts
23:00Alaric never came
23:01Before I could find him
23:03The Ashford family made me a test subject
23:05In their dark magic laboratory
23:07They drained my blood and replaced it
23:10They rewrote my memories
23:14They locked me in a room with no windows and no light
23:19Slowly his face began to fade
23:22Every time I slept
23:23He grew a little blurrier
23:25A little further away
23:27I fought it
23:29I refused to let him disappear
23:31I stole a needle and drove it into my arm to stay awake
23:35I used a stone to beat my own legs
23:38I carved wounds all over my body
23:40Just to hold on to the memory of him
23:43But their experiment succeeded anyway
23:45Alaric became my enemy
23:47In my own mind
23:49And Nathan became my savior
23:51The lost memories returned all at once
23:54And the pain was so overwhelming
23:57I couldn't breathe
23:58Then a hand caught mine
24:00I opened my eyes
24:02Alaric
24:03Watching me with an expression
24:05Something quiet
24:06And terrified
24:07And completely undone
24:10The dream shattered
24:11I was back
24:12And this time
24:13I wasn't alone
24:15I lunged upright
24:16And locked both arms around his neck
24:18Before he could say anything
24:20I was sobbing so hard
24:21I couldn't catch my breath
24:23You lied to me
24:24You said you'd come right back with the gem
24:28I waited
24:29And waited
24:30And I couldn't find you anymore
24:32What was I supposed to do?
