00:00The Reckoning was where you went when no wolf wanted you.
00:03Twice a year, the unwanted were lined like ways,
00:05and Byers judged them the way wolves have always judged each other.
00:09By scent, one breath told them everything.
00:12But when the first Byer leaned into scent Senna Kestrel,
00:15he stumbled back as if he'd leaned over a cliff.
00:18Every bride here was chosen by scent.
00:21She was the only one who had none.
00:25One breath tells you everything.
00:27Bloodline, temper, fear.
00:29By order of the crown, the unmated and unclaimed offered this night.
00:37There's nothing! There's nothing there!
00:42Scentless means cursed.
00:44What's so wrong that even her scent must hide?
00:49No fear, no blood, no self. A hole shaped like a woman.
00:53Isn't that girl a kestrel? Lady Odile, is she not yours?
00:57I have one son.
01:00Who would buy a wolf they cannot scent?
01:03Fail tonight, and it's the silver mines.
01:15The Alpha King!
01:17Gods beneath the moon, why is he here?
01:23He isn't scenting them.
01:26He isn't scenting them.
01:26He isn't even trying.
01:33I'll take her.
01:47I'll take her.
01:50Kings don't tolerate mysteries in their beds.
02:09Nothing.
02:11I'm telling you, there's nothing on her.
02:15Where do I find him?
02:17His majesty is in the war room.
02:19I will lead the way.
02:30Your majesty.
02:31Your majesty.
02:32Sit if you like.
02:34This won't take long.
02:35The wedding is in three days.
02:38I will never scent you.
02:41No wolf in my court or kingdom will be permitted to.
02:44Your seal is yours.
02:46Keep it until you die.
02:47Your majesty, you should know what's under it.
02:50Before we marry.
02:51Before you regret.
02:53I assume it's shameful.
02:55I don't need to know.
02:56I will not be asking, ever.
02:58You will give me an heir.
03:00Beyond that, we share.
03:01And I will never love you.
03:03That is more than generous, your majesty.
03:06Thank you for your kindness.
03:11Kindness?
03:16Yes.
03:20Three days.
03:21You'll be seen to.
03:25Sniff all you like at old Hess, child.
03:28Silver fever took my nose thirty years ago.
03:30Makes no difference to me what you smell of.
03:35Thinner than a lie.
03:38Castles that let queens arrive looking like drowned cats.
03:41Eat, child.
03:44It has to be a trap.
03:46Nothing is ever given without a blade under it.
03:50Silence over the mines every time.
03:56Grey.
03:57Still grey.
03:58Grey.
03:58Still grey.
04:04The marriage contract prepared to his majesty's specifications.
04:07I'll summarize.
04:09And the terms?
04:10Favorable.
04:11Our alliance is secured.
04:12Her seal in violate.
04:14An heir.
04:14Four appearances a year.
04:15Separate lives.
04:16No love.
04:17Is this agreeable to you?
04:18Your majesty, I must protest.
04:21You do not know what that girl is.
04:22What she has done.
04:24I wasn't speaking to you.
04:26I was speaking to my queen.
04:36Kind.
04:38To be married to a man who will never care for you.
04:40Yes, your majesty.
04:41It's more than I deserve.
04:50Nothing.
04:51Gods, there's nothing there.
04:53And she'll be queen.
04:57We need to talk.
05:01You can still refuse him.
05:04And why would I?
05:07Because Rowan stood near you.
05:10And his wolf tore out of him like something called it.
05:13Six men couldn't hold him.
05:14They put him down in the yard like an animal.
05:16And you stood there with not one cent of grief on you.
05:19Because I'm sealed, Bram.
05:20You know I can't.
05:21I've spent four years finding out what really happened to Rowan.
05:24I'm close, sister.
05:25And when the king learns what you are and what you did.
05:28He'll tear your throat out himself.
05:32You're not here for the wedding, brother.
05:35You're here for me.
05:43They say no one can read her.
05:44Not even the king.
05:45He'll read her today.
05:46There's no claiming without the scenting.
05:56No father.
05:58No mother.
05:59She walks it alone.
06:06I will never love you.
06:07Understand that.
06:08Truly.
06:09I understand, your majesty.
06:12Do you?
06:14Yes.
06:17Let the alpha now draw the scent of his bride,
06:21that the pack may know her.
06:22No.
06:24Your majesty, the scenting is a thousand years.
06:27Her seal is her own.
06:28I claim what she chooses to give.
06:30A claiming without scent is no claiming at all.
06:33No bond will take, mark me.
06:34No bond will take.
06:35I claim you as mine.
06:37My wife.
06:38My queen.
06:39My mate.
06:43I claim you as mine.
06:45My husband.
06:46My king.
06:47My mate.
06:50Nothing's the seal.
06:52It has to be the seal.
06:53It has to be the seal.
06:55It has to be the seal.
07:08Breathe, child.
07:16Wolfsbane Salve, before you say anything.
07:19If your seal slips tonight, I won't know it.
07:23You will never have to fear me knowing.
07:26No wolf does that.
07:27No wolf blinds his own nose.
07:29This one does.
07:30All right.
07:37I can hear how frightened you are.
07:39We'll go slowly.
07:46If you want to stop, take my hand and squeeze twice.
07:51What is it?
07:52It's an old family condition.
07:57What are you doing?
08:03Every wolf I've ever known I knew by scent first.
08:07I will never know yours.
08:09So I'm learning this instead.
08:20For tonight.
