Short filmTranscript
00:00They sacrificed me to a demon lord, all to keep his crown.
00:05Alaric was arrogant, possessive, and suffocating.
00:08I tried to escape countless times. He always dragged me back.
00:14You belong to me. Only me.
00:18His tail coiled around me.
00:20Then one day, I finally slipped free.
00:23I ran back to the kingdom.
00:25Nathan greeted me with a smile.
00:27And drove a dagger straight into my heart.
00:31Did you really think I'd marry you?
00:34Use her corpse as bait. We'll lure the demon out.
00:37I was bound to a cliff, barely breathing.
00:39The moment he saw me, every trace of Alaric's cold arrogance shattered.
00:44Emilia!
00:45His massive black wings snapped open.
00:48Dove.
00:49Kill him.
00:53A storm of burning magic tore through the air.
00:55His wings were pierced. His tail severed.
00:58Blood soaked me head to toe.
01:00He kept flying toward me.
01:02Got you.
01:03He whispered.
01:05And gently took my hand.
01:06But he had nothing left.
01:08In the same instant, a volley of spells ripped through his chest.
01:12With his last breath, he spread his wings around me.
01:15Then he fell.
01:18When I opened my eyes again, I was back.
01:21Back to that night, I was forced to become the demon lord's bride.
01:25His arms wrapped around me.
01:26His skin burning hot.
01:29His touch achingly gentle.
01:31Whatever you're about to say, I don't want to hear it.
01:35I will never let you go.
01:38You were destined to be my bride.
01:43Maybe this truly was fate.
01:45A second chance.
01:47This time, I would take back everything that was stolen from me.
01:50And the man I truly loved.
02:01If I remember right, the last face I saw before I died was his.
02:07Alaric.
02:08The demon lord.
02:09My husband.
02:11Amelia.
02:12Don't be afraid.
02:14I can save you.
02:15If I can't drink my blood, you'll heal.
02:19Stop running.
02:21If you hate my tail, I'll never touch you with it again.
02:24Those spells should never have hurt him.
02:26He's a demon lord.
02:28He took every hit to shield me.
02:31He despised humans.
02:33He gave his life, for one.
02:35Right up until he plummeted off that cliff, he was still trying to save me.
02:40I jolted awake.
02:41Shot upright.
02:42Gasping.
02:43My back was drenched in cold sweat.
02:46Outside.
02:47Bright sun.
02:48Bird song.
02:49The world absurdly peaceful.
02:51I sat frozen on the bed.
02:53Unable to separate dream from reality.
02:55Then, a knock at the door.
02:57I knew this room.
02:58I'd lived in it for a year.
03:00Alaric's palace.
03:02I stumbled to the mirror.
03:03Day seven.
03:04Seven days since I married Alaric.
03:07Our wedding portrait sat beside the calendar.
03:10My hands shook as I picked it up.
03:12Every ugly memory came flooding back.
03:15I hate you.
03:16You tore me away from the man I loved.
03:19One day I'll kill you.
03:22You won't.
03:24Can't you see it?
03:25Stop going back to Nathan.
03:29He's the one who gave you to me.
03:43His cold hand had brushed the tears from my face.
03:47Careful.
03:48Tender.
03:49I am your destined one.
03:51I just closed my eyes and pretended to be blind.
03:54Death.
03:55And I practically was.
03:57Blind enough to nearly lose the man who truly loved me.
04:01The knocking grew impatient.
04:03The door swung open.
04:04I expected Alaric.
04:05I spun around and found Nanny Margaret instead.
04:09She looked me up and down.
04:11Lips pursed.
04:13What are you sulking about now?
04:15The Lord already agreed to your demand.
04:17What more do you want?
04:18I blinked.
04:20What?
04:21Demand?
04:23You begged and cried to attend your ex-fiancee's coronation.
04:27The Lord said no, so you threw a fit.
04:29Now you're playing dumb?
04:31Disgusting.
04:32I lowered my eyes.
04:34So, this is the day I came back to.
04:37Last time, I'd spent this entire day screaming at Alaric
04:41for blocking my invitation to Nathan's coronation.
04:44Not knowing it was Alaric
04:46who was trying to spare me from watching Nathan
04:48announce my own handmaid, Rosalie.
04:51As his new partner.
04:53I'd called Alaric every name I could think of.
04:56Told him to go die.
04:57And when I'd tried to poison myself that night,
05:00he hadn't hesitated.
05:01He'd used his own heart's blood to make the cure.
05:05A man like the Lord and he ends up with her.
05:08What rotten luck.
05:10I picked up the flowers and the gown from the sofa
05:13and dropped them straight into the trash.
05:16Margaret went rigid.
05:17What are you doing now?
05:31I looked up.
05:32Where's Alaric?
05:33Margaret turned away.
05:35I don't know.
05:36No one in this palace would ever tell me where he was.
05:39Because every time I went looking for him,
05:42something went wrong.
05:43Fine.
05:44I'd find him myself.
05:46I moved through the halls from memory,
05:48room by room,
05:49until I pushed open the door to his study.
05:51The smell of blood hit me like a wall.
05:54Alaric sat on the floor,
05:56shirt off,
05:57surrounded by a pool of dark red.
05:59His black tail cast faint, flickering light.
06:02Head bowed,
06:03face drained of color,
06:05dangerous,
06:06breathtaking.
06:08I'd known drawing his blood caused pain.
06:09I hadn't imagined it looked like this.
06:12He heard the door and didn't turn around.
06:14Get out.
06:15I didn't move.
06:16His aura exploded.
06:18Savage,
06:20suffocating.
06:22Do you have a death wish?
06:24He saw it was me.
06:26The threat died in his throat.
06:28He turned away fast,
06:29scrambling to hide his tail.
06:31Hands clumsy with something that looked almost like embarrassment.
06:35Seeing him alive,
06:36it should have made me happy.
06:38Instead,
06:38my voice cracked.
06:40Alaric,
06:41does it hurt?
06:42His hand stilled,
06:44then a cold laugh.
06:46Not your concern.
06:48What do you want this time?
06:59That's not,
07:00I just wanted to-
07:01Don't!
07:02He pushed himself toward the desk,
07:04putting distance between us.
07:05Leave.
07:06I paused,
07:07looked at the way he flinched back,
07:09then lifted my chin.
07:11No.
07:12No?
07:13Then what exactly are you planning to do?
07:16Stay?
07:18I'm warning you,
07:20don't push me.
07:21I crossed the room
07:22and walked straight to him.
07:24He turned his face away,
07:26flawless features half-swallowed by shadow.
07:29Unreadable.
07:30Then I was against the wall.
07:33Don't.
07:35Unless you want to spend the next three days in bed.
07:39I reached up and cradled his face in both hands.
07:45Your eyes are beautiful.
07:49Like gemstones.
07:54Can I kiss you?
07:55Something moved through his expression.
07:57Complicated.
07:58Searching.
07:59After a long moment.
08:01Amelia,
08:03I'm not stopping you from going to Nathan anymore.
08:05You don't have to say things you don't mean.
08:08I mean every word.
08:10Enough.
08:11Out.
08:12I knew I couldn't push too hard,
08:14so I dropped my gaze,
08:16accepted the loss,
08:18and stood to leave.
08:19I fell straight into his arms
08:21and kissed him
08:23directly on the mouth.
08:32I hadn't even registered the impact
08:35before Alaric made a sharp,
08:37strangled sound against my lips.
08:39Amelia, you...
08:41He looked like he was about to combust.
08:47He didn't answer.
08:48Eyes squeezed shut,
08:50cheeks flushed an alarming shade of red,
08:53breathing ragged.
08:55You're burning up.
08:56Do you have a fever?
08:58He grabbed my wrist.
09:00The next second,
09:01I was outside the study.
09:02The door slammed in my face.
09:04Alaric?
09:05Are you angry with me?
09:07It was an accident.
09:08I just wanted to apologize.
09:11I'll come back later if you...
09:13The door flew open again.
09:15My hand was seized.
09:16I was back against the wall.
09:18Where do you think you're going?
09:20His voice was rough.
09:21His robe half-open.
09:23Every line of him taught.
09:25To find someone else.
09:27His skin was scorching.
09:29His breath came uneven.
09:31Do you know what happens
09:32when you provoke a demon in heat?
09:36What kind of woman does this?
09:37You started it.
09:38And now you want to walk away
09:40to another man?
09:41His thumb traced my lower lip.
09:43His eyes had gone deep red.
09:46Go ahead.
09:46Blame me for this.
09:48You always do.
09:56I hadn't even registered the impact
09:59before Alaric made a sharp,
10:01strangled...
10:05EMILY
10:06If you leave, you can still make it to Nathan's dinner.
10:12He let go, turned to walk away. I stared at his retreating back.
10:18Why would I go have dinner with someone else? You're the one I want to have dinner with.
10:22I hesitated, then added,
10:25Darling.
10:26The word landed like a match strike. Alaric wrenched his arm back and put three full steps between us.
10:32Amelia.
10:33I'm right here.
10:35He laughed, sharp, humorless.
10:39Last time you called me that, it was to pull off my scales and send them to Nathan.
10:43His eyes cut into me.
10:45So what is it this time? My heart?
10:50I grabbed his hand and refused to let go.
10:53That's not why. We're married. It's a completely normal thing for a wife to call her husband.
11:12He still didn't believe me. His gaze swept over me, then flicked to his watch.
11:18If you don't leave soon, you'll genuinely miss-
11:21Do you want me to go see another man that badly?
11:24I rose onto my toes and looped both arms around his neck.
11:28I never wanted to see him. I only want to see you.
11:32And I'm starving. I haven't eaten all day.
11:36Something flickered in those calm, still eyes.
11:39I rushed out to find you and wore the wrong shoes.
11:43My feet are killing me.
11:45A long silence, then a sigh.
11:48The sound of a man surrendering to something inevitable.
11:51He crouched down and carefully took my ankle in his hand.
11:55Let me see.
11:56He examined my foot with quiet focus.
11:59I looked down at him.
12:00How did I never notice how absurdly handsome he is?
12:05What if I kissed him right now?
12:07Would he push me down immediately?
12:09Should I?
12:10I'm going to.
12:12Just once.
12:13Just-
12:21Amelia, did he agree?
12:23Why aren't you answering?
12:24Did he say no?
12:25Play on his sympathy.
12:26Make him feel sorry for you.
12:28Amelia, it's all just strategy.
12:30I know you hate him.
12:31But once we have his blood, we can be together.
12:35Forever.
12:36My chest seized.
12:37I looked up.
12:38Alaric was already looking at me.
12:41His eyes had gone dark.
12:43Terrifyingly dark.
12:44He looked at me for one long moment, then let out a short, contemptuous laugh.
12:49He dropped my ankle, stood, and walked away.
12:53Alaric!
12:53It's not what you heard!
12:56It's fine, Amelia.
12:57Go to him.
12:58I told you, I won't stand in your way.
13:01His back was trembling.
13:02I bit down hard and ran after him, wrapped both arms around him from behind.
13:07He went rigid.
13:08I didn't give him time to pull away.
13:11I turned him around, pulled his hands apart, and kissed him.
13:15Messy.
13:16Desperate.
13:17Graceless.
13:41He tried to resist.
13:43Worried about hurting me, he couldn't bring himself to push hard.
13:46He stood there, frozen, and let me make a fool of myself against his face.
13:51Then I pulled back and looked him dead in the eye.
13:53I was wrong about Nathan.
13:55I'd lost my mind.
13:58Alaric, I swear, from now on, there is only you.
14:04He looked at me from under heavy lashes, then looked away with a small, bitter smile.
14:10You've said that before more times than I can count.
14:12This time is different!
14:14He turned the ring on his finger, said nothing, didn't believe me.
14:18I watched his hand, and then I remembered.
14:21The demon-mate bond.
14:23He'd asked me for it.
14:24Every time, I'd refused.
14:27I want to form the bond with you.
14:30Tie myself to you.
14:32Permanently.
14:33Yes.
14:34And from the crystal on the floor, Nathan's voice rang out again.
14:44Amelia.
14:46I'm drunk.
14:47Come pick me up.
14:48I glanced at the antique clock.
14:50Half past eleven at night.
14:52I picked up the crystal and smiled sweetly into it.
14:55Of course, Nathan.
14:57I'm on my way right now.
14:58Just wait for me, okay?
15:00Don't move.
15:01I'm coming, I promise.
15:02I dropped the crystal, switched it off, and tossed it across the room.
15:07Let him wait all night.
15:09Preferably forever.
15:10A chill crept up my spine.
15:12I turned around.
15:15Alaric stood in the doorway.
15:16Bare-chested, towel around his shoulders, completely still, watching me with dark, unreadable eyes.
15:24What?
15:25He didn't answer.
15:27Turned and walked back into the bathroom.
15:30The door slammed.
15:32He'd heard the voice message.
15:34He'd misunderstood.
15:35I rushed after him, and the bathroom door swung open before I could knock.
15:40Alaric, I...
15:42The words died.
15:43He'd changed out of his robe.
15:45Just a towel at his waist.
15:47Hair dripping, water trailing down his chest, following the lines of his abdomen all the way down into...
15:54I completely forgot what I was going to say.
15:57Going out?
15:59Mm-hmm.
16:01Wait! No! No, I'm not!
16:03He stepped closer.
16:04Are you coming back?
16:06I'm not going anywhere.
16:08I'm not picking him up!
16:09My legs gave out.
16:10I slid straight into his arms.
16:23Amelia, what's wrong?
16:25It must have been the steam.
16:27Too much heat, not enough air.
16:29Come sit down.
16:30Let me get you water.
16:31He leaned down to hand me the glass, his warmth radiating against me, his jaw right there at eye level,
16:38the line of his throat, and above that, I was suddenly very thirsty and having significant trouble breathing.
16:48I shook my head hard, stood up abruptly, and walked away.
16:52Behind me, Alaric opened his eyes.
16:54Something glinted in them, sharp and quietly amused.
16:58I'd been sleeping in the guest room since the wedding.
17:01All my things were in there.
17:03I went to collect them.
17:04I was deep in the closet when his voice came from the doorway.
17:10Getting clothes, or going to Nathan.
17:13He was watching me with that carefully controlled expression, the one that barely covered the ache underneath.
17:20It's cold outside.
17:22Remember to...
17:23He paused.
17:24Wear a coat.
17:25He turned and retreated into the master bedroom, shutting the door behind him.
17:29Three minutes later, I shoved that door open with both arms full of clothes.
17:35Alaric looked up.
17:36I glared at him, breathless.
17:38Help me!
17:39I have too much!
17:40I'm about to drop everything!
17:42He stared for a beat.
17:44What are you doing?
17:45I dumped everything on the floor.
17:47Isn't it obvious?
17:48I'm moving in.
17:58I pushed his clothes to one side of the closet and hung all of mine next to them.
18:04Alaric hadn't said a word.
18:05He'd just followed me around the room like a shadow.
18:08Amelia, what's this?
18:11Lipstick.
18:13How do you use it?
18:15How does anyone use lipstick?
18:16You put it on your lips.
18:18Can I help you put it on?
18:20Before I could answer, he kissed me.
18:23He kissed me until I had to push him back just to breathe.
18:27I thought you were helping me with my lipstick.
18:29I did.
18:30His eyes were dark and full of something consuming.
18:34Your lips don't need it anymore.
18:38Alaric, I was blind for a long time.
18:40I did things that hurt you.
18:41But that's over.
18:44I'm going to love you the way you deserve.
18:47I don't believe you.
18:48Then what would it take?
18:50He stood, lifted me up, and his tail curled around me.
18:54Maybe start by showing me.
19:04The next morning, voices outside pulled me awake.
19:08Nathan.
19:09Standing in the courtyard, arms crossed, wearing the expression of someone who'd been kept waiting
19:14and expected the world to apologize for it.
19:18Amelia!
19:19Do you know how long I've been standing out here?
19:21Why didn't you come to meet me?
19:23I was busy studying the diamond on my ring finger.
19:26When had Alaric put this on me?
19:28Last night?
19:30Nathan exhaled with theatrical patience,
19:32his smile generous and condescending all at once.
19:36I came personally to take you home.
19:39You must be so relieved.
19:41I don't love you anymore.
19:43What?
19:44I straightened up.
19:44Nathan, I loved you once, but I mistook gratitude for love.
19:49You have no place in my heart now.
19:51Please go.
20:13A flicker of guilt crossed his face.
20:16Gone almost instantly.
20:18Replaced by volume.
20:19Amelia!
20:21Two years ago, I saved you from drowning!
20:24You owe me your life!
20:26My parents have always said,
20:28I'm your savior and you owe me a debt!
20:31The Ashford family had spent years pouring that idea into me.
20:35drop by drop, until I believed it completely.
20:39And because Nathan had saved me once,
20:42I had followed him into everything.
20:44Not this time.
20:46He killed me.
20:47We're even.
20:48I opened my mouth and felt the temperature drop around me.
20:52I glanced up.
20:54Alaric stood on the second floor balcony,
20:56hands in his pockets, watching.
21:05He killed myuk
21:06He killed me!
21:08quickly!
21:16He killed me!
21:17page quiet!
21:17He killed me!
