Transcript

00:00:12Kaelin Ashfield paid a fortune for me at the mate auction.

00:00:17I slept in a bed that smelled just like him.

00:00:20Three years passed.

00:00:22We had three hatchlings.

00:00:26Now he was handing me to his brother like an old coat he did not want anymore.

00:00:30He did this because his ex had come crawling back.

00:00:34Are you sure about this?

00:00:36The old man looked up from the bond ledger.

00:00:38His quill stopped in the air.

00:00:40You want me to take Amber off your name and put her on Roland's?

00:00:43Kael set his jaw.

00:00:45You heard me, old man.

00:00:47Do it.

00:00:48You said it clearly.

00:00:49The clan elder looked at me.

00:00:50Then his eyes dropped to the wooden hatchling nest in my arms.

00:00:53One of the little ones had pushed its small head out of the cloth.

00:00:57The elder lowered his voice.

00:00:59But she just gave you three babies.

00:01:01My fingers gripped the nest tighter.

00:01:03The three hatchlings inside could not talk yet.

00:01:06They could only chirp at him.

00:01:07Their breath puffed out in tiny warm clouds.

00:01:10Blaze felt me shake.

00:01:11His tiny tail curled around my wrist.

00:01:14Kael did not even look at them.

00:01:15He pulled the fur cloak closer around the woman in his arms.

00:01:19His voice sounded cold.

00:01:20I will feed them.

00:01:21They will not starve.

00:01:22His jaw was tight as his eyes moved across my face.

00:01:25Then his gaze dropped to the nest.

00:01:27Blaze lifted his head first.

00:01:29Flint followed a beat later.

00:01:30Still half asleep.

00:01:32Amber tried anyway.

00:01:33None of them could get the word right.

00:01:35They could only chirp it over and over.

00:01:37Kael blinked his lashes.

00:01:38For one second, I thought he would do what he always used to do.

00:01:41I thought he would reach out.

00:01:45I waited for him to touch their tiny heads with one finger.

00:01:49Then Serafina pulled on his sleeve.

00:01:51Kael, you promised me.

00:01:53You said you wished you never left me at the Pale Tower.

00:01:56You said when you brought me home this time, you would never hurt me again.

00:02:00Kael pulled his hand back right away.

00:02:03His voice went flat.

00:02:04I do not feel sorry.

00:02:06At the auction, every shifter wanted her.

00:02:08Sera bit her lower lip.

00:02:10All those curves.

00:02:11Hips made for breeding.

00:02:13That is the only reason you topped every bid, is it not?

00:02:15That year, Kael had paid more for me than anyone in the clan thought possible.

00:02:20Now he was saying something very different.

00:02:22He was saying it in front of everyone.

00:02:25You think I wanted her?

00:02:27I wanted what was between her legs.

00:02:29There is a difference.

00:02:31The hatchlings flinched at his loud voice.

00:02:33They burrowed into my sleeves.

00:02:35Sera smiled at last and wiped her eyes.

00:02:38So you regret it?

00:02:40Kael did not even blink.

00:02:42Every single minute of it.

00:02:43I looked up.

00:02:45Kael.

00:02:45You said you could not live without me.

00:02:48Sera's face changed.

00:02:50Kael went still for one moment.

00:02:51Then his voice grew colder than before.

00:02:54That was the heat talking.

00:02:55Not me.

00:02:56Amber.

00:02:57Do not believe the things I say in bed.

00:02:59A few shifters near us gasped.

00:03:04The clan elder could not watch this anymore.

00:03:06Kael.

00:03:07I am telling you one more time.

00:03:09He tapped the page.

00:03:10Once I change this, it cannot be changed back.

00:03:13Not without Royan saying so himself.

00:03:15Are you sure?

00:03:16Kael refused to look at me.

00:03:18I am sure.

00:03:19Three years were gone in one short sentence.

00:03:22I was not his mate anymore.

00:03:23I belong to Raewyn.

00:03:25The clan elder shut the bond ledger.

00:03:27All right.

00:03:27Raewyn will come in tomorrow to press his thumb on it.

00:03:30Then it is done.

00:03:31His voice was flat.

00:03:32Amber.

00:03:33Start packing tonight.

00:03:35I held the nest closer.

00:03:37Pack for where?

00:03:39Ronan's den.

00:03:41And the hatchlings?

00:03:42He stayed quiet for a long moment.

00:03:44Sarah coughed softly.

00:03:46And Kael looked away.

00:03:48Take them if you want.

00:03:49Blase did not know what that meant.

00:03:51He reached his little tail out toward his father.

00:03:54Kael did not take it.

00:03:56Sarah linked her arm through Kael's.

00:03:58She smiled as she walked past me.

00:04:00Oh, Amber.

00:04:01Sweetie.

00:04:02Do not be sad.

00:04:03He brought you in a temper just to spine me.

00:04:06You were never the one he wanted, sweetie.

00:04:08Just a way to hurt me.

00:04:09Kael.

00:04:10I do not want to come home and see all her things sitting around.

00:04:14Her bed.

00:04:15Her clothes.

00:04:17All her old stuff.

00:04:18Make her clean it out.

00:04:19Okay?

00:04:20Kael stroked her hair like she was a child.

00:04:23Anything for you.

00:04:24I held the nest and followed them back to the den.

00:04:27It was the den that used to be mine.

00:04:29Kael never looked back.

00:04:30I did not know it yet.

00:04:31But Cyr was about to tear my whole life apart piece by piece.

00:04:35Starting tonight.

00:04:38Sarah's face fell the moment she crossed the threshold.

00:04:40She froze.

00:04:41Her eyes darted from the bed to the chest beside it.

00:04:45Finally, her gaze locked onto the wooden hatchling nest tucked in the corner.

00:04:49All of this is hers.

00:04:50Kael followed her gaze and frowned.

00:04:53I will have her clean it out.

00:04:54Sarah raised her voice.

00:04:56Kael.

00:04:57You want me to sleep in the bed she slept in?

00:04:59You want me to sleep in the den she lived in?

00:05:02Kael softened at once.

00:05:04No.

00:05:05I did not mean it like that.

00:05:07She pulled her hand free and rushed past him into the room.

00:05:10She ripped the fur throw off the bed.

00:05:12Yanking open the chest, she flung clothes onto the floor one piece at a time.

00:05:17Sliding her hand under the pillow, she pulled out a charm pouch.

00:05:21I had spent weeks sewing that pouch for him.

00:05:24Now Sarah was crushing it in her fist.

00:05:26I stepped forward.

00:05:28Give it to me.

00:05:29Kael looked at me too.

00:05:30He pulled his brow tight.

00:05:32Amber.

00:05:33Do not make her angry right now.

00:05:35I lowered my head and pressed the nest closer to my chest.

00:05:39Their small bodies stayed warm against the cloth.

00:05:41They did their clumsy best to soothe me.

00:05:44Sarah caught the movement.

00:05:45Her eyes sharpened.

00:05:47She gave you three babies and now you feel proud of her, do you not?

00:05:50Do not say my name.

00:05:51Sarah let her tears fall on cue.

00:05:54And she got to live in your den.

00:05:55Sleep in your bed.

00:05:56Give you three babies?

00:05:57Kael, do you really think any of that was fair to me?

00:06:01Kael's face softened all at once.

00:06:04Stepping forward, he pulled Sarah into his arms.

00:06:06His voice went low and soothing.

00:06:08I am sorry.

00:06:10I let you down.

00:06:11Then I do not want to see her things.

00:06:14Make her take all of it out.

00:06:16Okay.

00:06:17Pull up the herb garden too.

00:06:20Kael paused for a heartbeat.

00:06:22The herb garden in the yard was mine.

00:06:25I had built it up from nothing.

00:06:27Now Sarah only had to say the word and it would be torn out.

00:06:31I dropped my eyes.

00:06:32Holding the hatchlings, I turned to pick up the things on the floor.

00:06:36A britted cord ring.

00:06:37The crushed charm pouch.

00:06:39Old clothes.

00:06:41There were a few squares of soft cloth my hatchlings had been wrapped on when they were born.

00:06:45It was too much.

00:06:47I had the nest in one arm and tried to gather things with the other.

00:06:52Lifting one piece meant dropping another as I reached for the next.

00:06:56Blaze pushed his head out of the nest.

00:06:58He stretched his tiny tail toward a square of cloth.

00:07:01He tried to drag it back for me.

00:07:03That nest goes too.

00:07:05I looked up.

00:07:05She was pointing at the spare nest in the corner.

00:07:08I had been airing it out for the hatchlings.

00:07:10The main den was damp.

00:07:11I had brought their sleeping nest out into the sun today to dry it.

00:07:14Their familiar cloth was still inside.

00:07:16So was their scent.

00:07:18I will move it.

00:07:19Right now.

00:07:20Sarah was already walking toward it.

00:07:21She bent down to grab the handle.

00:07:24It is just a beat up nest.

00:07:26Why are you so worked up?

00:07:31Do not touch it!

00:07:53Kaelin Ashfield paid a fortune for me at the mate auction.

00:07:58I slept in a bed that smelled just like him.

00:08:20You want me to take Amber off your name and put her on Rollins?

00:08:25Kyle set his jaw.

00:08:26You heard me, old man.

00:08:28Do it.

00:08:29You said it clearly.

00:08:30The clan elder looked at me.

00:08:32Then his eyes dropped to the wooden hatchling nest in my arms.

00:08:35One of the little ones had pushed its small head out of the cloth.

00:15:53He did this because his ex had come crawling back.

00:15:56Are you sure about this?

00:15:58The old man looked up from the bond ledger.

00:16:00His quill stopped in the air.

00:16:02You want me to take Amber off your name and put her on Roland's?

00:16:06Kyle set his jaw.

00:16:08You heard me, old man.

00:16:09Do it.

00:16:10You said it clearly.

00:16:11The clan elder looked at me.

00:16:13Then his eyes dropped to the wooden hatchling nest in my arms.

00:16:16One of the little ones had pushed its small head out of the cloth.

00:16:19The elder lowered his voice.

00:16:21But she just gave you three babies.

00:16:23My fingers gripped the nest tighter.

00:16:25The three hatchlings inside could not talk yet.

00:16:28They could only chirp at him.

00:16:30Their breath puffed out in tiny warm clouds.

00:16:32Blaze felt me shake.

00:16:34His tiny tail curled around my wrist.

00:16:36Kale did not even look at them.

00:16:37He pulled the fur cloak closer around the woman in his arms.

00:16:41His voice sounded cold.

00:16:42I will feed them.

00:16:43They will not starve.

00:16:45His jaw was tight as his eyes moved across my face.

00:16:48Then his gaze dropped to the nest.

00:16:49Blaze lifted his head first.

00:16:51Flint followed a beat later.

00:16:53Still half asleep.

00:16:54Amber tried anyway.

00:16:56None of them could get the word right.

00:16:57They could only chirp it over and over.

00:16:59Kale blinked his lashes.

00:17:01For one second, I thought he would do what he always used to do.

00:17:04I thought he would reach out.

00:17:08I waited for him to touch their tiny heads with one finger.

00:17:11Then Serafina pulled on his sleeve.

00:17:13Kale, you promised me.

00:17:15You said you wished you never left me at the Pale Tower.

00:17:19You said when you brought me home this time, you would never hurt me again.

00:17:23Kale pulled his hand back right away.

00:17:25His voice went flat.

00:17:27I do not feel sorry.

00:17:28At the auction, every shifter wanted her.

00:17:31Sarah bit her lower lip.

00:17:32All those curves.

00:17:33Hips made for breeding.

00:17:35That is the only reason you topped every bid, is it not?

00:17:38That year, Kale had paid more for me than anyone in the clan thought possible.

00:17:43Now he was saying something very different.

00:17:45He was saying it in front of everyone.

00:17:47You think I wanted her?

00:17:49I wanted what was between her legs.

00:17:51There is a difference.

00:17:53The hatchlings flinched at his loud voice.

00:17:56They burrowed into my sleeves.

00:17:58Sarah smiled at last and wiped her eyes.

00:18:00So you regret it?

00:18:02Kale did not even blink.

00:18:04I think every single minute of it.

00:18:06I looked up.

00:18:07Kale, you said you could not live without me.

00:18:10Sarah's face changed.

00:18:12Kale went still for one moment.

00:18:14Then his voice grew colder than before.

00:18:16That was the heat talking.

00:18:17Not me.

00:18:18Amber, do not believe the things I say in bed.

00:18:21A few shifters near us gasped.

00:18:26The clan elder could not watch this anymore.

00:18:29Kale, I am telling you one more time.

00:18:31He tapped the page.

00:18:33Once I change this, it cannot be changed back.

00:18:35Not without Royan saying so himself.

00:18:37Are you sure?

00:18:38Kale refused to look at me.

00:18:40I am sure.

00:18:42Three years were gone in one short sentence.

00:18:44I was not his mate anymore.

00:18:45I belong to Rhaewyn.

00:18:47The clan elder shut the bond ledger.

00:18:49All right.

00:18:50Rhaewyn will come in tomorrow to press his thumb on it.

00:18:52Then it is done.

00:18:53His voice was flat.

00:18:55Amber, start packing tonight.

00:18:57I held the nest closer.

00:19:00Pack for where?

00:19:02Ronan's den.

00:19:03And the hatchlings?

00:19:04He stayed quiet for a long moment.

00:19:07Sarah coughed softly.

00:19:08And Kale looked away.

00:19:10Take them if you want.

00:19:11Blaze did not know what that meant.

00:19:13He reached his little tail out toward his father.

00:19:16Kale did not take it.

00:19:17Sarah linked her arm through Kale's.

00:19:20She smiled as she walked past me.

00:19:23Oh, Amber, sweetie.

00:19:24Do not be sad.

00:19:26He brought you in a temper just to spine me.

00:19:28You were never the one he wanted, sweetie.

00:19:30Just a way to hurt me.

00:19:32Kale, I do not want to come home and see all her things sitting around.

00:19:36Her bed.

00:19:38Her clothes.

00:19:39All her old stuff.

00:19:40Make her clean it out, okay?

00:19:43Kale stroked her hair like she was a child.

00:19:45Anything for you.

00:19:46I held the nest and followed them back to the den.

00:19:49It was the den that used to be mine.

00:19:51Kale never looked back.

00:19:52I did not know it yet, but Seer was about to tear my whole life apart piece by piece.

00:19:57Starting tonight.

00:20:00Sarah's face fell the moment she crossed the threshold.

00:20:03She froze.

00:20:04Her eyes darted from the bed to the chest beside it.

00:20:07Finally, her gaze locked onto the wooden hatchling nest tucked in the corner.

00:20:11All of this is hers.

00:20:13Kale followed her gaze and frowned.

00:20:15I will have her clean it out.

00:20:17Sarah raised her voice.

00:20:18Kale, you want me to sleep in the bed she slept in?

00:20:21You want me to sleep in the den she lived in?

00:20:25Kale softened at once.

00:20:26No.

00:20:27I did not mean it like that.

00:20:29She pulled her hand free and rushed past him into the room.

00:20:32She ripped the fur throw off the bed.

00:20:34Yanking open the chest, she flung clothes onto the floor one piece at a time.

00:20:39Sliding her hand under the pillow, she pulled out a charm pouch.

00:20:44I had spent weeks sewing that pouch for him.

00:20:46Now Sarah was crushing it in her fist.

00:20:49I stepped forward.

00:20:50Give it to me.

00:20:51Kale looked at me too.

00:20:52He pulled his brow tight.

00:20:55Amber, do not make her angry right now.

00:20:58I lowered my head and pressed the nest closer to my chest.

00:21:01Their small bodies stayed warm against the cloth.

00:21:04They did their clumsy best to soothe me.

00:21:06Sarah caught the movement.

00:21:08Her eyes sharpened.

00:21:09She gave you three babies and now you feel proud of her, do you not?

00:21:12Do not say my name.

00:21:14Sarah let her tears fall on cue.

00:21:16And she got to live in your den.

00:21:17Sleep in your bed.

00:21:19Give you three babies?

00:21:20Kale, do you really think any of that was fair to me?

00:21:24Kale's face softened all at once.

00:21:26Stepping forward, he pulled Sarah into his arms.

00:21:29His voice went low and soothing.

00:21:31I am sorry.

00:21:32I let you down.

00:21:33Then I do not want to see her things.

00:21:36Make her take all of it out.

00:21:38Okay.

00:21:39Pull up the herb garden too.

00:21:42Kale paused for a heartbeat.

00:21:44The herb garden in the yard was mine.

00:21:48I had built it up from nothing.

00:21:50Now Sarah only had to say the word and it would be torn out.

00:21:53I dropped my eyes.

00:21:55Holding the hatchlings, I turned to pick up the things on the floor.

00:21:58A breaded cord ring.

00:22:00The crushed charm pouch.

00:22:02Old clothes.

00:22:03There were a few squares of soft cloth my hatchleys had been wrapped on when they were born.

00:22:08It was too much.

00:22:10I had the nest in one arm and tried to gather things with the other.

00:22:14Lifting one piece meant dropping another as I reached for the next.

00:22:18Blaze pushed his head out of the nest.

00:22:20He stretched his tiny tail toward a square of cloth.

00:22:23He tried to drag it back for me.

00:22:26That nest goes too.

00:22:27I looked up.

00:22:28She was pointing at the spare nest in the corner.

00:22:30I had been airing it out for the hatchlings.

00:22:32The main den was damp.

00:22:34I had brought their sleeping nest out into the sun today to dry it.

00:22:37Their familiar cloth was still inside.

00:22:39So was their scent.

00:22:40I will move it.

00:22:41Right now.

00:22:42Sarah was already walking toward it.

00:22:43She bent down to grab the handle.

00:22:46It is just a beat up nest.

00:22:48Why are you so worked up?

00:22:54Do not touch it!

00:23:15Kaelin Ashfield paid a fortune for me at the mate auction.

00:23:20I slept in a bed that smelled just like him.

00:23:24Three years passed.

00:23:25We had three hatchlings.

00:23:30Now he was handing me to his brother like an old coat he did not want anymore.

00:23:34He did this because his ex had come crawling back.

00:23:37Are you sure about this?

00:23:39The old man looked up from the bond ledger.

00:23:41His quill stopped in the air.

00:23:43You want me to take Amber off your name and put her on Roland's?

00:23:47Kael set his jaw.

00:23:54Then his eyes dropped to the wooden hatchling nest in my arms.

00:32:20They could only chirp it over and over.

00:32:22Kale blinked his lashes.

00:32:23For one second, I thought he would do what he always used to do.

00:32:26I thought he would reach out.

00:32:30I waited for him to touch their tiny heads with one finger.

00:32:34Then Serafina pulled on his sleeve.

00:32:36Kale, you promised me.

00:32:38You said you wished you never left me at the Pale Tower.

00:32:41You said when you brought me home this time you would never hurt me again.

00:32:45Kale pulled his hand back right away.

00:32:47His voice went flat.

00:32:49I do not feel sorry.

00:32:50At the auction, every shifter wanted her.

00:32:53Sera bit her lower lip.

00:32:54All those curves.

00:32:56Hips made for breeding.

00:32:57That is the only reason you topped every bid, is it not?

00:33:00That year, Kale had paid more for me than anyone in the clan thought possible.

00:33:05Now he was saying something very different.

00:33:07He was saying it in front of everyone.

00:33:10You think I wanted her?

00:33:11I wanted what was between her legs.

00:33:14There is a difference.

00:33:15The hatchlings flinched at his loud voice.

00:33:18They burrowed into my sleeves.

00:33:20Sera smiled at last and wiped her eyes.

00:33:23So you regret it?

00:33:24Kale did not even blink.

00:33:26Every single minute of it.

00:33:28I looked up.

00:33:29Kale, you said you could not live without me.

00:33:33Sera's face changed.

00:33:34Kale went still for one moment.

00:33:36Then his voice grew colder than before.

00:33:38That was the heat talking.

00:33:40Not me.

00:33:41Amber, do not believe the things I say in bed.

00:33:44A few shifters near us gasped.

00:33:48The clan elder could not watch this anymore.

00:33:51Kale, I am telling you one more time.

00:33:54He tapped the page.

00:33:55Once I change this, it cannot be changed back.

00:33:57Not without Royan saying so himself.

00:34:00Are you sure?

00:34:01Kale refused to look at me.

00:34:02I am sure.

00:34:04Three years were gone in one short sentence.

00:34:06I was not his mate anymore.

00:34:08I belong to Rewin.

00:34:09The clan elder shut the bond ledger.

00:34:11All right.

00:34:12Rewin will come in tomorrow to press his thumb on it.

00:34:14Then it is done.

00:34:16His voice was flat.

00:34:17Amber, start packing tonight.

00:34:20I held the nest closer.

00:34:22Pack for where?

00:34:24Ronan's den.

00:34:25And the hatchlings?

00:34:27He stayed quiet for a long moment.

00:34:29Sera coughed softly.

00:34:30And Kale looked away.

00:34:32Take them if you want.

00:34:34Blaze did not know what that meant.

00:34:36He reached his little tail out toward his father.

00:34:39Kale did not take it.

00:34:40Sera linked her arm through Kale's.

00:34:42She smiled as she walked past me.

00:34:45Oh, Amber, sweetie.

00:34:47Do not be sad.

00:34:48He brought you in a temper just to spine me.

00:34:50You were never the one he wanted, sweetie.

00:34:53Just a way to hurt me.

00:34:54Kale, I do not want to come home and see all her things sitting around.

00:34:59Her bed.

00:35:00Her clothes.

00:35:01All her old stuff.

00:35:03Make her clean it out.

00:35:04Okay?

00:35:05Kale stroked her hair like she was a child.

00:35:08Anything for you.

00:35:09I held the nest and followed them back to the den.

00:35:11It was the den that used to be mine.

00:35:13Kale never looked back.

00:35:15I did not know it yet, but Sera was about to tear my whole life apart piece by piece.

00:35:19Starting tonight.

00:35:22Sera's face fell the moment she crossed the threshold.

00:35:25She froze.

00:35:26Her eyes darted from the bed to the chest beside it.

00:35:29Finally, her gaze locked onto the wooden hatchling nest tucked in the corner.

00:35:33All of this is hers.

00:35:35Kale followed her gaze and frowned.

00:35:37I will have her clean it out.

00:35:39Sera raised her voice.

00:35:40Kale, you want me to sleep in the bed she slept in?

00:35:44You want me to sleep in the den she lived in?

00:35:47Kale softened at once.

00:35:49No.

00:35:50I did not mean it like that.

00:35:51She pulled her hand free and rushed past him into the room.

00:35:55She ripped the fur throw off the bed.

00:35:57Yanking open the chest, she flung clothes onto the floor one piece at a time.

00:36:02Sliding her hand under the pillow, she pulled out a charm pouch.

00:36:06I had spent weeks sewing that pouch for him.

00:36:09Now Sera was crushing it in her fist.

00:36:11I stepped forward.

00:36:12Give it to me.

00:36:13Kale looked at me too.

00:36:15He pulled his brow tight.

00:36:18Amber, do not make her angry right now.

00:36:20I lowered my head and pressed the nest closer to my chest.

00:36:24Their small bodies stayed warm against the cloth.

00:36:26They did their clumsy best to soothe me.

00:36:29Sera caught the movement.

00:36:30Her eyes sharpened.

00:36:31She gave you three babies and now you feel proud of her, do you not?

00:36:35Do not say my name.

00:36:36Sera let her tears fall on cue.

00:36:38And she got to live in your den.

00:36:40Sleep in your bed.

00:36:41Give you three babies?

00:36:42Kale, do you really think any of that was fair to me?

00:36:46Kale's face softened all at once.

00:36:48Stepping forward, he pulled Sera into his arms.

00:36:51His voice went low and soothing.

00:36:53I am sorry.

00:36:54I let you down.

00:36:56Then I do not want to see her things.

00:36:59Make her take all of it out.

00:37:01Okay.

00:37:02Pull up the herb garden too.

00:37:04Kale paused for a heartbeat.

00:37:06The herb garden in the yard was mine.

00:37:10I had built it up from nothing.

00:37:12Now Sera only had to say the word and it would be torn out.

00:37:15I dropped my eyes.

00:37:17Holding the hatchlings, I turned to pick up the things on the floor.

00:37:20A britted cord ring.

00:37:22The crushed charm pouch.

00:37:24Old clothes.

00:37:26There were a few squares of soft cloth my hatchlings had been wrapped on when they were born.

00:37:30It was too much.

00:37:32I had the nest in one arm and tried to gather things with the other.

00:37:37Lifting one piece meant dropping another as I reached for the next.

00:37:41Blaze pushed his head out of the nest.

00:37:43He stretched his tiny tail toward a square of cloth.

00:37:46He tried to drag it back for me.

00:37:48That nest goes too.

00:37:49I looked up.

00:37:50She was pointing at the spare nest in the corner.

00:37:52I had been airing it out for the hatchlings.

00:37:54The main den was damp.

00:37:56I had brought their sleeping nest out into the sun today to dry it.

00:37:59Their familiar cloth was still inside.

00:38:01So was their scent.

00:38:02I will move it.

00:38:03Right now!

00:38:04Sarah was already walking toward it.

00:38:06She bent down to grab the handle.

00:38:08It is just a beat up nest.

00:38:11Why are you so worked up?

00:38:16Do not touch it!

00:38:28Do not touch it!

00:38:37Kaelin Ashfield paid a fortune for me at the mate auction.

00:38:43I slept in a bed that smelled just like him.

00:38:46Three years passed.

00:38:48We had three hatchlings.

00:38:52Now he was handing me to his brother like an old coat he did not want anymore.

00:38:56He did this because his ex had come crawling back.

00:39:00Are you sure about this?

00:39:01The old man looked up from the bond ledger.

00:39:04His quill stopped in the air.

00:39:06You want me to take Amber off your name and put her on Roland's?

00:39:09Kyle set his jaw.

00:39:11You heard me, old man.

00:39:13Do it.

00:39:13You said it clearly.

00:39:15The clan elder looked at me.

00:39:16Then his eyes dropped to the wooden hatchling nest in my arms.

00:39:19One of the little ones had pushed its small head out of the cloth.

00:39:23The elder lowered his voice.

00:39:24But she just gave you three babies.

00:39:27My fingers gripped the nest tighter.

00:39:29The three hatchlings inside could not talk yet.

00:39:31They could only chirp at him.

00:39:33Their breath puffed out in tiny warm clouds.

00:39:36Blaze felt me shake.

00:39:37His tiny tail curled around my wrist.

00:39:40Kael did not even look at them.

00:39:41He pulled the fur cloak closer around the woman in his arms.

00:39:44His voice sounded cold.

00:39:46I will feed them.

00:39:47They will not starve.

00:39:48His jaw was tight as his eyes moved across my face.

00:39:51Then his gaze dropped to the nest.

00:39:53Blaze lifted his head first.

00:39:54Flint followed a beat later.

00:39:56Still half asleep.

00:39:57Ember tried anyway.

00:39:59None of them could get the word right.

00:40:01They could only chirp it over and over.

00:40:03Kael blinked his lashes.

00:40:04For one second, I thought he would do what he always used to do.

00:40:07I thought he would reach out.

00:40:11I waited for him to touch their tiny heads with one finger.

00:48:49Every single minute of it.

00:48:50I looked up.

00:48:52Kael, you said you could not live without me.

00:48:55Sera's face changed.

00:48:56Kael went still for one moment.

00:48:58Then his voice grew colder than before.

00:49:01That was the heat talking.

00:49:02Not me.

00:49:03Amber, do not believe the things I say in bed.

00:49:06A few shifters near us gasped.

00:49:11The clan elder could not watch this anymore.

00:49:13Kael, I am telling you one more time.

00:49:16He tapped the page.

00:49:17Once I change this, it cannot be changed back.

00:49:19Not without Royan saying so himself.

00:49:22Are you sure?

00:49:23Kael refused to look at me.

00:49:25I am sure.

00:49:26Three years were gone in one short sentence.

00:49:29I was not his mate anymore.

00:49:30I belong to Rhaewyn.

00:49:32The clan elder shut the bond ledger.

00:49:34All right.

00:49:34Rhaewyn will come in tomorrow to press his thumb on it.

00:49:37Then it is done.

00:49:38His voice was flat.

00:49:39Amber, start packing tonight.

00:49:42I held the nest closer.

00:49:44Pack for where?

00:49:46Ronan's den.

00:49:48And the hatchlings?

00:49:49He stayed quiet for a long moment.

00:49:51Sarah coughed softly.

00:49:53And Kael looked away.

00:49:55Take them if you want.

00:49:56Blaze did not know what that meant.

00:49:58He reached his little tail out toward his father.

00:50:01Kael did not take it.

00:50:03Sarah linked her arm through Kael's.

00:50:05She smiled as she walked past me.

00:50:07Oh, Amber, sweetie.

00:50:09Do not be sad.

00:50:10He brought you in a temper just to spine me.

00:50:13You were never the one he wanted, sweetie.

00:50:15Just a way to hurt me.

00:50:16Kael, I do not want to come home and see all her things sitting around.

00:50:21Her bed.

00:50:22Her clothes.

00:50:24All her old stuff.

00:50:25Make her clean it out.

00:50:26Okay?

00:50:27Kael stroked her hair like she was a child.

00:50:30Anything for you.

00:50:31I held the nest and followed them back to the den.

00:50:34It was the den that used to be mine.

00:50:36Kael never looked back.

00:50:37I did not know it yet.

00:50:38But Cyr was about to tear my whole life apart piece by piece.

00:50:41Starting tonight.

00:50:45Sarah's face fell the moment she crossed the threshold.

00:50:48She froze.

00:50:49Her eyes darted from the bed to the chest beside it.

00:50:51Finally, her gaze locked onto the wooden hatchling nest tucked in the corner.

00:50:56All of this is hers.

00:50:57Kael followed her gaze and frowned.

00:51:00I will have her clean it out.

00:51:01Sarah raised her voice.

00:51:02Kael, you want me to sleep in the bed she slept in?

00:51:06You want me to sleep in the den she lived in?

00:51:10Kael softened at once.

00:51:11No.

00:51:12I did not mean it like that.

00:51:14She pulled her hand free and rushed past him into the room.

00:51:17She ripped the fur throw off the bed.

00:51:19Yanking open the chest, she flung clothes onto the floor one piece at a time.

00:51:24Sliding her hand under the pillow, she pulled out a charm pouch.

00:51:28I had spent weeks sewing that pouch for him.

00:51:31Now Sarah was crushing it in her fist.

00:51:33I stepped forward.

00:51:35Give it to me.

00:51:36Kael looked at me too.

00:51:37He pulled his brow tight.

00:51:40Amber, do not make her angry right now.

00:51:42I lowered my head and pressed the nest closer to my chest.

00:51:46Their small bodies stayed warm against the cloth.

00:51:48They did their clumsy best to soothe me.

00:51:51Sarah caught the movement.

00:51:52Her eyes sharpened.

00:51:53She gave you three babies and now you feel proud of her, do you not?

00:51:57Do not say my name.

00:51:58Sarah let her tears fall on cue.

00:52:01And she got to live in your den.

00:52:02Sleep in your bed.

00:52:03Give you three babies?

00:52:04Kael, do you really think any of that was fair to me?

00:52:08Kael's face softened all at once.

00:52:11Stepping forward, he pulled Sarah into his arms.

00:52:13His voice went low and soothing.

00:52:15I am sorry.

00:52:17I let you down.

00:52:18Then I do not want to see her things.

00:52:21Make her take all of it out.

00:52:23Okay.

00:52:24Pull up the herb garden, too.

00:52:27Kael paused for a heartbeat.

00:52:29The herb garden in the yard was mine.

00:52:32I had built it up from nothing.

00:52:34Now Sarah only had to say the word, and it would be torn out.

00:52:38I dropped my eyes.

00:52:39Holding the hatchlings, I turned to pick up the things on the floor.

00:52:43A breaded cord ring.

00:52:44The crushed charm pouch.

00:52:46Old clothes.

00:52:48There were a few squares of soft cloth my hatchlings had been wrapped on when they were born.

00:52:52It was too much.

00:52:54I had the nest in one arm and tried to gather things with the other.

00:52:59Lifting one piece meant dropping another as I reached for the next.

00:53:03Blaze pushed his head out of the nest.

00:53:05He stretched his tiny tail toward a square of cloth.

00:53:08He tried to drag it back for me.

00:53:10That nest goes too.

00:53:12I looked up.

00:53:12She was pointing at the spare nest in the corner.

00:53:15I had been airing it out for the hatchlings.

00:53:17The main den was damp.

00:53:18I had brought their sleeping nest out into the sun today to dry it.

00:53:21Their familiar cloth was still inside.

00:53:23So was their scent.

00:53:24I will move it.

00:53:26Right now.

00:53:27Sarah was already walking toward it.

00:53:28She bent down to grab the handle.

00:53:31It is just a beat up nest.

00:53:33Why are you so worked up?

00:53:38Do not touch it!

00:54:00Kaylin Ashfield paid a fortune for me at the mate auction.

00:54:05I slept in a bed that smelled just like him.

00:54:09Three years passed.

00:54:10We had three hatchlings.

00:54:14Now he was handing me to his brother like an old coat he did not want anymore.

00:54:19He did this because his ex had come crawling back.

00:54:22Are you sure about this?

00:54:24The old man looked up from the bond ledger.

00:54:26His quill stopped in the air.

00:54:28You want me to take Amber off your name and put her on Roland's?

00:54:32Kyle set his jaw.

00:54:33You heard me old man.

00:54:35Do it.

00:54:36You said it clearly.

00:54:37The clan elder looked at me.

00:54:39Then his eyes dropped to the wooden hatchling nest in my arms.

00:54:42One of the little ones had pushed its small head out of the cloth.

00:54:45The elder lowered his voice.

00:54:47But she just gave you three babies.

00:54:49My fingers gripped the nest tighter.

00:54:51The three hatchlings inside could not talk yet.

00:54:54They could only chirp at him.

00:54:55Their breath puffed out in tiny warm clouds.

00:54:58Blaze felt me shake.

00:54:59His tiny tail curled around my wrist.

00:55:02Kale did not even look at them.

00:55:03He pulled the fur cloak closer around the woman in his arms.

00:55:07His voice sounded cold.

00:55:08I will feed them.

00:55:09They will not starve.

00:55:11His jaw was tight as his eyes moved across my face.

00:55:14Then his gaze dropped to the nest.

00:55:15Blaze lifted his head first.

00:55:17Flint followed a beat later.

00:55:18Still half asleep.

00:55:20Ember tried anyway.

00:55:21None of them could get the word right.

00:55:23They could only chirp it over and over.

00:55:25Kale blinked his lashes.

00:55:26For one second, I thought he would do what he always used to do.

00:55:30I thought he would reach out.

00:55:34I waited for him to touch their tiny heads with one finger.

00:55:37Then Serafina pulled on his sleeve.

00:55:39Kale, you promised me.

00:55:41You said you wished you never left me at the Pale Tower.

00:55:44You said when you brought me home this time you would never hurt me again.

00:55:48Kale pulled his hand back right away.

00:55:51His voice went flat.

00:55:52I do not feel sorry.

00:55:54At the auction, every shifter wanted her.

00:55:56Sera bit her lower lip.

00:55:58All those curves.

00:55:59Hips made for breeding.

00:56:01That is the only reason you topped every bid, is it not?

00:56:04That year, Kale had paid more for me than anyone in the clan thought possible.

00:56:08Now he was saying something very different.

00:56:11He was saying it in front of everyone.

00:56:13You think I wanted her?

00:56:15I wanted what was between her legs.

00:56:17There is a difference.

00:56:19The hatchlings flinched at his loud voice.

00:56:21They burrowed into my sleeves.

00:56:24Sera smiled at last and wiped her eyes.

00:56:26So you regret it?

00:56:28Kale did not even blink.

00:56:30Every single minute of it.

00:56:31I looked up.

00:56:33Kale, you said you could not live without me.

00:56:36Sera's face changed.

00:56:38Kale went still for one moment.

00:56:40Then his voice grew colder than before.

00:56:42That was the heat talking.

00:56:43Not me.

00:56:44Amber, do not believe the things I say in bed.

00:57:30He stayed quiet for a long moment.

00:57:32Sera coughed softly, and Kale looked away.

00:57:36Take them if you want.

00:57:37Blaze did not know what that meant.

00:57:39He reached his little tail out toward his father.

00:57:42Kale did not take it.

00:57:43Sera linked her arm through Kale's.

00:57:46She smiled as she walked past me.

01:05:14Sera coughed softly.

01:05:15And Kael looked away.

01:05:17Take them if you want.

01:05:18Blaze did not know what that meant.

01:05:20He reached his little tail out toward his father.

01:05:24Kael did not take it.

01:05:25Sera linked her arm through Kael's.

01:05:27She smiled as she walked past me.

01:05:30Oh, Amber, sweetie.

01:05:31Do not be sad.

01:05:33He brought you in a temper just to spine me.

01:05:35You were never the one he wanted, sweetie.

01:05:37Just a way to hurt me.

01:05:39Kael, I do not want to come home and see all her things sitting around.

01:05:43Her bed.

01:05:45Her clothes.

01:05:46All her old stuff.

01:05:48Make her clean it out.

01:05:49Okay?

01:05:50Kael stroked her hair like she was a child.

01:05:52Anything for you.

01:05:53I held the nest and followed them back to the den.

01:05:56It was the den that used to be mine.

01:05:58Kael never looked back.

01:05:59I did not know it yet.

01:06:01But Sere was about to tear my whole life apart piece by piece.

01:06:04Starting tonight.

01:06:07Sera's face fell the moment she crossed the threshold.

01:06:10She froze.

01:06:11Her eyes darted from the bed to the chest beside it.

01:06:14Finally, her gaze locked onto the wooden hatchling nest tucked in the corner.

01:06:46All of this is hers.

01:07:15She pulled out a charm pouch.

01:07:18Now you feel proud of her, do you not?

01:07:19Do not say my name.

01:07:21Sera let her tears fall on cue.

01:07:23And she got to live in your den.

01:07:24Sleep in your bed.

01:07:26Give you three babies?

01:07:26Kael, do you really think any of that was fair to me?

01:07:31Kael's face softened all at once.

01:07:33Stepping forward, he pulled Sera into his arms.

01:07:36His voice went low and soothing.

01:07:38I am sorry.

01:07:39I let you down.

01:07:40Then I do not want to see her things.

01:07:43Make her take all of it out.

01:07:45Okay.

01:07:46Pull up the herb garden too.

01:07:49Kael paused for a heartbeat.

01:07:51The herb garden in the yard was mine.

01:07:55I had built it up from nothing.

01:07:57Now Sera only had to say the word, and it would be torn out.

01:08:00I dropped my eyes.

01:08:02Holding the hatchlings, I turned to pick up the things on the floor.

01:08:05A britted cord ring.

01:08:07The crushed charm pouch.

01:08:09Old clothes.

01:08:10There were a few squares of soft cloth my hatchlings had been wrapped on when they were born.

01:08:15It was too much.

01:08:17I had the nest in one arm and tried to gather things with the other.

01:08:21Lifting one piece meant dropping another as I reached for the next.

01:08:25Blaze pushed his head out of the nest.

01:08:27He stretched his tiny tail toward a square of cloth.

01:08:30He tried to drag it back for me.

01:08:33That nest goes too.

01:08:34I looked up.

01:08:35She was pointing at the spare nest in the corner.

01:08:37I had been airing it out for the hatchlings.

01:08:39The main den was damp.

01:08:41I had brought their sleeping nest out into the sun today to dry it.

01:08:44Their familiar cloth was still inside.

01:08:46So was their scent.

01:08:47I will move it.

01:08:48Right now.

01:08:49Sera was already walking toward it.

01:08:50She bent down to grab the handle.

01:08:53It is just a beat up nest.

01:08:55Why are you so worked up?

01:09:01Do not touch it!

01:09:22Kaelin Ashfield paid a fortune for me at the mate auction.

01:09:27I slept in a bed that smelled just like him.

01:09:31Three years passed.

01:09:32We had three hatchlings.

01:09:37Now he was handing me to his brother like an old coat he did not want anymore.

01:09:41He did this because his ex had come crawling back.

01:09:44Are you sure about this?

01:09:46The old man looked up from the bond ledger.

01:09:48His quill stopped in the air.

01:09:50You want me to take Amber off your name and put her on Roland's?

01:09:54Kael set his jaw.

01:09:56You heard me, old man.

01:09:57Do it.

01:09:58You said it clearly.

01:09:59The clan elder looked at me.

01:10:01Then his eyes dropped to the wooden hatchling nest in my arms.

01:10:04One of the little ones had pushed its small head out of the cloth.

01:10:07The elder lowered his voice.

01:10:09But she just gave you three babies.

01:10:12My fingers gripped the nest tighter.

01:10:14The three hatchlings inside could not talk yet.

01:10:16They could only chirp at him.

01:10:18Their breath puffed out in tiny warm clouds.

01:10:20Blaze felt me shake.

01:10:22His tiny tail curled around my wrist.

01:10:24Kael did not even look at them.

01:10:26He pulled the fur cloak closer around the woman in his arms.

01:10:29His voice sounded cold.

01:10:31I will feed them.

01:10:32They will not starve.

01:10:33His jaw was tight as his eyes moved across my face.

01:10:36Then his gaze dropped to the nest.

01:10:38Blaze lifted his head first.

01:10:39Flint followed a beat later.

01:10:41Still half asleep.

01:10:42Amber tried anyway.

01:10:44None of them could get the word right.

01:10:45They could only chirp it over and over.

01:10:47Kael blinked his lashes.

01:10:49For one second, I thought he would do what he always used to do.

01:10:52I thought he would reach out.

01:10:56I waited for him to touch their tiny heads with one finger.

01:10:59Then Serafina pulled on his sleeve.

01:11:01Kael, you promised me.

01:11:04You said you wished you never left me at the Pale Tower.

01:11:07You said when you brought me home this time you would never hurt me again.

01:11:11Kael pulled his hand back right away.

01:11:13His voice went flat.

01:11:15I do not feel sorry.

01:11:16At the auction, every shifter wanted her.

01:11:19Sarah bit her lower lip.

01:11:20All those curves.

01:11:22Hips made for breeding.

01:11:23That is the only reason you topped every bid, is it not?

01:11:26That year, Kael had paid more for me than anyone in the clan thought possible.

01:11:31Now he was saying something very different.

01:11:33He was saying it in front of everyone.

01:11:35You think I wanted her?

01:11:37I wanted what was between her legs.

01:11:39There is a difference.

01:11:41The hatchlings flinched at his loud voice.

01:11:44They burrowed into my sleeves.

01:11:46Sarah smiled at last and wiped her eyes.

01:11:48So you regret it?

01:11:50Kael did not even blink.

01:11:52I think every single minute of it.

01:11:54I looked up.

01:11:55Kael, you said you could not live without me.

01:11:58Sarah's face changed.

01:12:00Kael went still for one moment.

01:12:02Then his voice grew colder than before.

01:12:04That was the heat talking.

01:12:05Not me.

01:12:06Amber, do not believe the things I say in bed.

01:12:10A few shifters near us gasped.

01:12:14The clan elder could not watch this anymore.

01:12:17Kael, I am telling you one more time.

01:12:20He tapped the page.

01:12:21Once I change this, it cannot be changed back.

01:12:23Not without Royan saying so himself.

01:12:26Are you sure?

01:12:27Kael refused to look at me.

01:12:28I am sure.

01:12:30Three years were gone in one short sentence.

01:12:32I was not his mate anymore.

01:12:34I belong to Rewin.

01:12:35The clan elder shut the bond ledger.

01:12:37All right.

01:12:38Rewin will come in tomorrow to press his thumb on it.

01:12:40Then it is done.

01:12:41His voice was flat.

01:12:43Amber, start packing tonight.

01:12:45I held the nest closer.

01:12:48Pack for where?

01:12:50Ronan's den.

01:12:51And the hatchlings?

01:12:52He stayed quiet for a long moment.

01:12:55Sarah coughed softly.

01:12:56And Kael looked away.

01:12:58Take them if you want.

01:12:59Blaze did not know what that meant.

01:13:01He reached his little tail out toward his father.

01:13:04Kael did not take it.

01:13:06Sarah linked her arm through Kael's.

01:13:08She smiled as she walked past me.

01:13:11Oh, Amber, sweetie.

01:13:12Do not be sad.

01:13:14He brought you in a temper just to spine me.

01:13:16You were never the one he wanted, sweetie.

01:13:18Just a way to hurt me.

01:13:20Kael, I do not want to come home and see all her things sitting around.

01:13:24Her bed.

01:13:26Her clothes.

01:13:27All her old stuff.

01:13:29Make her clean it out.

01:13:30Okay?

01:13:31Kael stroked her hair like she was a child.

01:13:33Anything for you.

01:13:34I held the nest and followed them back to the den.

01:13:37It was the den that used to be mine.

01:13:39Kael never looked back.

01:13:40I did not know it yet.

01:13:42But Cyr was about to tear my whole life apart piece by piece.

01:13:45Starting tonight.

01:13:48Sarah's face fell the moment she crossed the threshold.

01:13:51She froze.

01:13:52Her eyes darted from the bed to the chest beside it.

01:13:55Finally, her gaze locked onto the wooden hatchling nest tucked in the corner.

01:13:59All of this is hers.

01:14:01Kael followed her gaze and frowned.

01:14:03I will have her clean it out.

01:14:05Sarah raised her voice.

01:14:06Kael, you want me to sleep in the bed she slept in?

01:14:10You want me to sleep in the den she lived in?

01:14:13Kael softened at once.

01:14:15No.

01:14:16I did not mean it like that.

01:14:17She pulled her hand free and rushed past him into the room.

01:14:20She ripped the fur throw off the bed.

01:14:22Yanking open the chest, she flung clothes onto the floor one piece at a time.

01:14:28Sliding her hand under the pillow, she pulled out a charm pouch.

01:14:32I had spent weeks sewing that pouch for him.

01:14:35Now Sarah was crushing it in her fist.

01:14:37I stepped forward.

01:14:38Give it to me.

01:14:39Kael looked at me too.

01:14:41He pulled his brow tight.

01:14:43Amber.

01:14:44Do not make her angry right now.

01:14:46I lowered my head and pressed the nest closer to my chest.

01:14:49Their small bodies stayed warm against the cloth.

01:14:52They did their clumsy best to soothe me.

01:14:54Sarah caught the movement.

01:14:56Her eyes sharpened.

01:14:57She gave you three babies and now you feel proud of her, do you not?

01:15:00Do not say my name.

01:15:02Sarah let her tears fall on cue.

01:15:04And she got to live in your den.

01:15:06Sleep in your bed.

01:15:41I dropped my eyes.

01:15:43Holding the hatchlings, I turned to pick up the things on the floor.

01:15:46A breaded cord ring.

01:15:48The crushed charm pouch.

01:15:50Old clothes.

01:15:51There were a few squares of soft cloth my hatchleys had been wrapped on when they were born.

01:22:22He pulled his brow tight.

01:22:25Amber, do not make her angry right now.

01:22:27I lowered my head and pressed the nest closer to my chest.

01:22:31Their small bodies stayed warm against the cloth.

01:22:33They did their clumsy best to soothe me.

01:22:36Sarah caught the movement.

01:22:37Her eyes sharpened.

01:22:38She gave you three babies and now you feel proud of her, do you not?

01:22:42Do not say my name.

01:22:43Sarah let her tears fall on cue.

01:22:45And she got to live in your den?

01:22:47Sleep in your bed?

01:22:48Give you three babies?

01:22:49Kael, do you really think any of that was fair to me?

01:22:53Kael's face softened all at once.

01:22:55Stepping forward, he pulled Sarah into his arms.

01:22:58His voice went low and soothing.

01:23:00I am sorry.

01:23:01I let you down.

01:23:03Then I do not want to see her things.

01:23:06Make her take all of it out.

01:23:08Okay.

01:23:09Pull up the herb garden too.

01:23:11Kael paused for a heartbeat.

01:23:13The herb garden in the yard was mine.

01:23:17I had built it up from nothing.

01:23:19Now Sarah only had to say the word and it would be torn out.

01:23:23I dropped my eyes.

01:23:24Holding the hatchlings, I turned to pick up the things on the floor.

01:23:27A breaded cord ring.

01:23:29The crushed charm pouch.

01:23:31Old clothes.

01:23:33There were a few squares of soft cloth my hatchlings had been wrapped on when they were born.

01:23:37It was too much.

01:23:39I had the nest in one arm and tried to gather things with the other.

01:23:44Lifting one piece meant dropping another as I reached for the next.

01:23:48Blaze pushed his head out of the nest.

01:23:50He stretched his tiny tail toward a square of cloth.

01:23:53He tried to drag it back for me.

01:23:55That nest goes too.

01:23:56I looked up.

01:23:57She was pointing at the spare nest in the corner.

01:23:59I had been airing it out for the hatchlings.

01:24:01The main den was damp.

01:24:03I had brought their sleeping nest out into the sun today to dry it.

01:24:06Their familiar cloth was still inside.

01:24:08So was their scent.

01:24:09I will move it.

01:24:10Right now.

01:24:11Sarah was already walking toward it.

01:24:13She bent down to grab the handle.

01:24:15It is just a beat up nest.

01:24:18Why are you so worked up?

01:24:23Do not touch it!

01:24:25Do not touch it!

01:24:37You
