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...
10:05The End of the Dead.
10:06I'm telling you now.
10:08If you leave,
10:09you can still make it
10:10to Nathan's dinner.
10:12He let go.
10:13Turned to walk away.
10:14I stared at his retreating back.
10:18Why would I go have dinner
10:19with someone else?
10:20You're the one I want
10:21to have dinner with.
10:22I hesitated.
10:23Then added...
10:25Darling.
10:25The word landed
10:26like a match strike.
10:28Alaric wrenched his arm back
10:30and put three full steps
10:31between us.
10:32Amelia.
10:33I'm right here.
10:35He laughed.
10:36Sharp.
10:37Humorless.
10:38Last time you called me that
10:40it was to pull off my scales
10:41and send them to Nathan.
10:43His eyes cut into me.
10:45So what is it this time?
10:46My heart?
10:49I grabbed his hand
10:51and refused to let go.
10:53That's not why.
10:54We're married.
10:55It's a completely normal thing
10:57for a wife to call her husband.
11:12He still didn't believe me.
11:14His gaze swept over me
11:16then flicked to his watch.
11:18If you don't leave soon
11:19you'll genuinely miss...
11:21Do you want me to go see
11:22another man that badly?
11:24I rose onto my toes
11:26and looped both arms
11:27around his neck.
11:28I never wanted to see him.
11:30I only want to see you.
11:32And I'm starving.
11:34I haven't eaten all day.
11:36Something flickered
11:37in those calm, still eyes.
11:39I rushed out to find you
11:40and wore the wrong shoes.
11:43My feet are killing me.
11:45A long silence.
11:47Then a sigh.
11:48The sound of a man
11:49surrendering to something inevitable.
11:51He crouched down
11:52and carefully took my ankle
11:54in his hand.
11:55Let me see.
11:56He examined my foot
11:57with quiet focus.
11:59I looked down at him.
12:00How did I never notice
12:02how 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...
12:22Emilia, 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.
12:28Emilia, it's all just strategy.
12:30I know you hate him.
12:32But once we have his blood,
12:33we can be together.
12:35Forever.
12:35My chest seized.
12:37I looked up.
12:39Alaric was already looking at me.
12:41His eyes had gone dark.
12:43Terrifyingly dark.
12:44He looked at me for one long moment,
12:46then let out a short,
12:48contemptuous laugh.
12:49He dropped my ankle,
12:51stood,
12:51and walked away.
12:53Alaric,
12:53it's not what you heard!
12:56It's fine, Emilia.
12:57Go to him.
12:58I told you,
12:59I won't stand in your way.
13:01His back was trembling.
13:02I bit down hard and ran after him,
13:05wrapped both arms around him from behind.
13:07He went rigid.
13:08I didn't give him time to pull away.
13:10I turned him around,
13:12pulled his hands apart,
13:13and kissed him.
13:15Messy,
13:16desperate,
13:17graceless.
13:41He tried to resist.
13:43Worried about hurting me,
13:44he couldn't bring himself to push hard.
13:46He stood there,
13:47frozen,
13:48and let me make a fool of myself
13:49against his face.
13:51Then I pulled back
13:52and looked him dead in the eye.
13:54I was wrong about Nathan.
13:55I'd lost my mind.
13:58Alaric,
13:59I swear.
14:01From now on,
14:02there is only you.
14:04He looked at me
14:05from under heavy lashes,
14:06then looked away
14:07with a small,
14:08bitter smile.
14:10You've said that before
14:11more times than I can count.
14:12This time is different!
14:14He turned the ring on his finger,
14:16said nothing,
14:17didn't believe me.
14:19I watched his hand,
14:20and then I remembered.
14:21The demon-mate bond.
14:23He'd asked me for it.
14:24Every time,
14:26I'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,
14:35Nathan'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
14:53and
14:53smiled 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,
15:04switched it off,
15:05and 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,
15:17towel around his shoulders,
15:19completely still,
15:20watching me
15:21with dark,
15:23unreadable eyes.
15:24What?
15:25He didn't answer,
15:27turned and walked back
15:28into the bathroom.
15:30The door slammed.
15:32He'd heard the voice message.
15:34He'd misunderstood.
15:35I rushed after him,
15:37and the bathroom door
15:38swung open
15:39before 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,
15:48water trailing down his chest,
15:50following the lines
15:51of his abdomen
15:52all the way down into...
15:54I completely forgot
15:56what I was going to say.
15:57Going out?
15:59Mm-hmm.
16:01Wait, no!
16:02No, 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,
16:28not enough air.
16:29Come sit down.
16:30Let me get you water.
16:31He leaned down
16:32to hand me the glass,
16:33his warmth radiating against me,
16:36his jaw right there at eye level,
16:38the line of his throat,
16:40and above that,
16:42I was suddenly very thirsty
16:44and having significant trouble breathing.
16:48I shook my head hard,
16:49stood up abruptly,
16:50and walked away.
16:52Behind me,
16:53Alaric opened his eyes.
16:54Something glinted in them,
16:56sharp and quietly amused.
16:59I'd been sleeping in the guest room
17:00since the wedding.
17:01All my things were in there.
17:03I went to collect them.
17:04I was deep in the closet
17:06when his voice came from the doorway.
17:10Getting clothes,
17:11or going to Nathan.
17:13He was watching me
17:14with that carefully controlled expression,
17:16the one that barely covered
17:18the ache underneath.
17:20It's cold outside.
17:22Remember to...
17:23He paused.
17:24Wear a coat.
17:25He turned and retreated
17:27into the master bedroom,
17:28shutting the door behind him.
17:30Three minutes later,
17:31I shoved that door open
17:32with both arms full of clothes.
17:35Alaric looked up.
17:36I glared at him,
17:37breathless.
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
18:00to one side of the closet
18:01and hung all of mine
18:02next to them.
18:04Alaric hadn't said a word.
18:05He'd just followed me
18:06around the room
18:07like a shadow.
18:08Amelia, what's this?
18:11Lipstick.
18:13How do you use it?
18:14How does anyone use lipstick?
18:16You put it on your lips.
18:18Can I help you put it on?
18:20Before I could answer,
18:22he kissed me.
18:23He kissed me
18:24until I had to push him back
18:25just to breathe.
18:27I thought you were helping me
18:28with my lipstick.
18:29I did.
18:30His eyes were dark
18:32and full of something consuming.
18:34Your lips don't need it anymore.
18:37Alaric,
18:38I 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
18:45the way you deserve.
18:47I don't believe you.
18:48Then what would it take?
18:50He stood,
18:51lifted me up,
18:52and his tail curled around me.
18:54Maybe start by showing me.
19:04The next morning,
19:06voices outside
19:06pulled me awake.
19:08Nathan,
19:09standing in the courtyard,
19:11arms crossed,
19:12wearing the expression
19:13of someone
19:13who'd been kept waiting
19:14and expected the world
19:16to apologize for it.
19:18Amelia,
19:19do you know how long
19:20I've been standing out here?
19:21Why didn't you come to meet me?
19:22I was busy studying
19:24the diamond on my ring finger.
19:26When had Alaric
19:27put this on me?
19:28Last night?
19:30Nathan exhaled
19:31with theatrical patience,
19:32his smile generous
19:34and condescending
19:35all at once.
19:36I came personally
19:38to take you home.
19:39You must be so relieved.
19:41I don't love you anymore.
19:43What?
19:44I straightened up.
19:44Nathan,
19:45I loved you once,
19:47but I mistook
19:48gratitude for love.
19:49You have no place
19:50in my heart now.
19:51Please go.
20:13A flicker of guilt
20:15crossed his face,
20:16gone almost instantly,
20:18replaced by volume.
20:19Amelia,
20:21two years ago,
20:22I saved you
20:23from drowning.
20:24You owe me your life.
20:26My parents have always said,
20:28I'm your savior
20:29and you owe me a debt.
20:31The Ashford family
20:32had spent years
20:33pouring that idea into me,
20:35drop by drop,
20:37until I believed it completely.
20:39And because Nathan
20:40had saved me once,
20:42I had followed him
20:43into everything.
20:44Not this time.
20:46He killed me.
20:47We're even.
20:48I opened my mouth
20:49and felt the temperature
20:51drop around me.
20:53I glanced up.
20:54Alaric stood
20:55on the second floor balcony,
20:57hands in his pockets,
20:58watching.
21:23Stop performing,
21:24Amelia.
21:25I know you hate Alaric.
21:26You're desperate
21:27to come with me,
21:28aren't you?
21:28I'm not.
21:30I love Alaric.
21:32What?
21:32You're so right.
21:34I can't survive
21:35a moment away from him.
21:37I want to tie myself
21:39to him forever.
21:40I love him so much.
21:41One second without him
21:43and my heart just stops.
21:47Footsteps behind me.
21:48Alaric.
21:49I turned and arranged my face
21:51into delighted surprise.
21:53Darling!
21:54When did you get here?
21:55I only just noticed you.
21:58Oh no!
21:59You heard everything
22:00I just said, didn't you?
22:02Every single embarrassing
22:04word of it?
22:05Alaric's hand
22:06settled at my waist.
22:08Every word.
22:09Nathan looked like
22:10he was about to catch fire.
22:11You're lying!
22:12You despise this creature!
22:15Enough.
22:16Alaric's arm tightened around me.
22:18His eyes moved to Nathan.
22:20Flat.
22:21Final.
22:22You entered this palace
22:23only because I allowed it
22:24out of courtesy.
22:26Let me remind you
22:27of something you seem
22:28to have forgotten.
22:29You are the one
22:30who offered her to me.
22:33Willingly.
22:34To keep your crown.
22:36A sacrifice made
22:37cannot be unmade.
22:39Now get out.
22:40And don't come back.
22:41Ever.
22:42And found himself
22:43lifted by his collar.
22:45Alaric was about
22:46to throw him
22:47through the gate.
22:48Wait.
23:10Amelia.
23:11I knew it.
23:13You still...
23:14Alaric's grip
23:14on my hand
23:15went rigid.
23:17Nathan.
23:19Don't come looking
23:19for me again.
23:21I'm married.
23:23I have no interest
23:24in contact with you
23:25and I refuse to give
23:26my husband
23:26any reason to worry.
23:28I waved a hand.
23:29Go quickly.
23:30Don't keep turning around.
23:32We have dinner.
23:33The grip on my hand
23:34softened instantly.
23:36Nathan tried one more time.
23:38Alaric glanced at him.
23:40One glance.
23:41That was all it took.
23:42Nathan went pale,
23:43shut his mouth,
23:44and left.
23:46The gate had barely closed
23:47before I was against the wall.
23:49Now.
23:49Now.
23:52as my wife,
23:54are you prepared
23:55to fulfill
23:56certain responsibilities
23:57to your lord?
23:59I smiled
24:00and reached up
24:01to hook my arms
24:02around his neck.
24:04Are you jealous?
24:06Jealous?
24:08Why would I be jealous
24:09of a coward
24:10who doesn't know
24:10the first thing about love?
24:12So you do, do know.
24:13Have you loved
24:14someone before?
24:16My stomach dropped.
24:19Wait, seriously?
24:21There was someone?
24:22He lifted me
24:23onto his lap
24:24and his tail
24:25wound around me.
24:26Now it's my turn
24:27to ask.
24:27Are you jealous?
24:29His lips found mine.
24:31I have never loved
24:33anyone else.
24:34Only you.
24:36Will you leave me?
25:01I'm not leaving you.
25:02I promise.
25:04Then prove it.
25:05The sky was already
25:07lightning at the edges
25:08when I finally
25:08fell asleep.
25:09The last thing I felt
25:11was his lips
25:11on my forehead.
25:13I have so many gems.
25:15So much gold.
25:17Everything humans love,
25:18I'll give it all to you.
25:20Stay with me.
25:21Be mine.
25:22Forever.
25:23I was too exhausted
25:24to answer out loud.
25:26I slept deeply
25:27and dreamed
25:28in pieces.
25:30In the dream,
25:30I was 16.
25:31My parents were gone.
25:33Suddenly,
25:34terribly gone.
25:35The Ashford family
25:36took me in.
25:37They wanted my parents'
25:38estate.
25:39So they told me
25:40over and over
25:41that Nathan had
25:42saved my life.
25:44No.
25:45It wasn't Nathan.
25:46It was a demon.
25:48He hadn't hurt me.
25:50He'd spread those
25:51vast black wings
25:52and carried me down
25:53from the mountain
25:54back to the human kingdom
25:56and left me there
25:57safely.
26:03The Ashford family
26:12Nathan's mother slapped me
26:13across the face.
26:15What demon?
26:16It was Nathan.
26:18Nathan saved you.
26:20You owe this family
26:21everything!
26:24She didn't stop
26:25until I stopped moving.
26:26Stupid girl.
26:28I'll beat it into you
26:29if I have to.
26:29Life in the Ashford house
26:31was a long cruelty.
26:33She dismissed the servants
26:34to save money
26:35and gave me the work instead.
26:37Dishes.
26:38Cooking.
26:39Leftover food.
26:40Nathan's old clothes.
26:42The floor outside the door
26:44for a bed.
26:45Anyone in that house
26:46could hit me
26:46when they felt like it.
26:47It hurts so much.
26:49I cried myself to sleep
26:51almost every night.
26:52You said you'd protect me.
26:54You said you'd come back
26:55when I was grown.
26:56Where are you?
26:58It hurts.
26:59It really hurts.
