01:00His wings were pierced, his tail severed, blood soaked head to toe.
01:04He kept flying toward me.
01:06Got you.
01:07He whispered, and gently took my hand.
01:10But he had nothing left.
01:12In the same instant, a volley of spells ripped through his chest.
01:16With his last breath, he spread his wings around me.
01:19Then he fell.
01:21When I opened my eyes again, I was back.
01:24Back to that night, I was forced to become the Demon Lord's bride.
01:28His arms wrapped around me, his skin burning hot, his touch achingly gentle.
01:35Whatever you're about to say, I don't want to hear it.
01:39I will never let you go.
01:42You were destined to be my bride.
01:46Maybe this truly was fate.
01:49A second chance.
01:50This time, I would take back everything that was stolen from me.
01:54And the man I truly loved.
01:57If I remember right, the last face I saw before I died was his.
02:03Alaric.
02:03The Demon Lord.
02:05My husband.
02:07Amelia.
02:08Don't be afraid.
02:09I can save you.
02:11If I can't drink my blood, you'll heal.
02:15Stop running.
02:16If you hate my tail, I'll never touch you with it again.
02:20Those spells should never have hurt him.
02:22He's a Demon Lord.
02:24He took every hit to shield me.
02:26He despised humans.
02:28He gave his life, for one.
02:31Right up until he plummeted off that cliff, he was still trying to save me.
02:35I jolted awake.
02:37Shot upright.
02:38Gasping.
02:39My back was drenched in cold sweat.
02:41Outside.
02:42Bright sun.
02:44Bird song.
02:44The world's absurdly peaceful.
02:47I sat frozen on the bed.
02:48Unable to separate dream from reality.
02:51Then, a knock at the door.
02:53I knew this room.
02:54I'd lived in it for a year.
02:56Alaric's palace.
02:57I stumbled to the mirror.
02:59Day seven.
03:00Seven days since I married Alaric.
03:03Our wedding portrait sat beside the calendar.
03:05My hands shook as I picked it up.
03:07Every ugly memory came flooding back.
03:10I hate you.
03:12You tore me away from the man I loved.
03:14One day I'll kill you.
03:18You won't.
03:19Can't you see it?
03:21Stop going back to Nathan.
03:24He's the one who gave you to me.
03:28He's the one who gave you to me.
03:28His cold hand had brushed the tears from my face.
03:32Careful.
03:33Tender.
03:33I am your destined one.
03:36I just closed my eyes and pretended to be blind.
03:39Death.
03:40And I practically was.
03:41Blind enough to nearly lose the man who truly loved me.
03:45The knocking grew impatient.
03:47The door swung open.
03:48I expected Alaric.
03:50I spun around and found Nanny Margaret instead.
03:54She looked me up and down.
03:56Lips pursed.
03:57What are you sulking about now?
04:00The Lord already agreed to your demand.
04:02What more do you want?
04:03I blinked.
04:05What demand?
04:08You begged and cried to attend your ex-fiancee's coronation.
04:12The Lord said no, so you threw a fit.
04:14Now you're playing dumb?
04:16Disgusting.
04:17I lowered my eyes.
04:19So, this is the day I came back to.
04:22Last time, I'd spent this entire day screaming at Alaric
04:25for blocking my invitation to Nathan's coronation.
04:29Not knowing it was Alaric
04:30who was trying to spare me from watching Nathan
04:33announce my own handmaid, Rosalie, as his new partner.
04:38I'd called Alaric every name I could think of.
04:41Told him to go die.
04:42And when I'd tried to poison myself that night,
04:45he hadn't hesitated.
04:46He'd used his own heart's blood to make the cure.
04:50A man like the Lord and he ends up with her.
04:53What rotten luck.
04:55I picked up the flowers and the gown from the sofa
04:58and dropped them straight into the trash.
05:01Margaret went rigid.
05:02What are you doing now?
05:03I looked up.
05:05Where's Alaric?
05:06Margaret turned away.
05:07I don't know.
05:08No one in this palace would ever tell me where he was.
05:11Because every time I went looking for him,
05:13something went wrong.
05:15Fine.
05:16I'd find him myself.
05:18I moved through the halls from memory,
05:19room by room,
05:21until I pushed open the door to his study.
05:23The smell of blood hit me like a wall.
05:26Alaric sat on the floor,
05:28shirt off,
05:29surrounded by a pool of dark red.
05:31His black tail cast faint, flickering light.
05:34Head bowed,
05:35face drained of color,
05:37dangerous,
05:38breathtaking.
05:39I'd known drawing his blood caused pain.
05:42I hadn't imagined it looked like this.
05:44He heard the door and didn't turn around.
05:46Get out.
05:47I didn't move.
05:48His aura exploded.
05:50Savage,
05:52suffocating.
05:54Do you have a death wish?
05:57He saw it was me.
05:58The threat died in his throat.
06:00He turned away fast,
06:01scrambling to hide his tail.
06:03Hands clumsy with something that looked
06:05almost like embarrassment.
06:07Seeing him alive,
06:08it should have made me happy.
06:10Instead,
06:11my voice cracked.
06:12Alaric,
06:13does it hurt?
06:15His hand stilled,
06:16then a cold laugh.
06:18Not your concern.
06:20What do you want this time?
06:23That's not,
06:24I just wanted to-
06:25Don't!
06:26He pushed himself toward the desk,
06:28putting distance between us.
06:30Leave.
06:30I paused,
06:31looked at the way he flinched back,
06:33then lifted my chin.
06:35No.
06:36No?
06:37Then what exactly are you planning to do?
06:40Stay?
06:42I'm warning you,
06:44don't push me.
06:45I crossed the room
06:46and walked straight to him.
06:48He turned his face away,
06:50flawless features
06:51half-swallowed by shadow.
06:53Unreadable.
06:54Then I was against the wall.
06:57Don't.
06:58Unless you want to spend
07:00the next three days in bed.
07:03I reached up
07:04and cradled his face
07:06in both hands.
07:09Your eyes are beautiful.
07:13Like gemstones.
07:18Can I kiss you?
07:19Something moved through his expression.
07:21Complicated.
07:22Searching.
07:23After a long moment.
07:25Amelia.
07:27I'm not stopping you
07:28from going to Nathan anymore.
07:30You don't have to say things
07:31you don't mean.
07:32I mean every word.
07:34Enough.
07:35Out.
07:36Out.
07:37I knew I couldn't push too hard
07:38so I dropped my gaze,
07:40accepted the loss
07:41and stood to lead.
07:43I fell straight into his arms
07:45and kissed him
07:47directly on the mouth.
07:50I hadn't even registered the impact
07:52before Alaric made a sharp,
07:54strangled sound
07:55against my lips.
07:57Amelia, you...
07:58He looked like he was about to combust.
08:04He didn't answer.
08:06Eyes squeezed shut,
08:08cheeks flushed
08:09an alarming shade of red,
08:10breathing ragged.
08:12You're burning up.
08:13Do you have a fever?
08:16He grabbed my wrist.
08:17The next second
08:18I was outside the study.
08:19The door slammed in my face.
08:21Alaric?
08:22Are you angry with me?
08:24It was an accident.
08:26I just wanted to apologize.
08:28I'll come back later if you...
08:30The door flew open again.
08:32My hand was seized.
08:33I was back against the wall.
08:35Where do you think you're going?
08:37His voice was rough.
08:38His robe half open.
08:40Every line of him taut.
08:42To find someone else.
08:44His skin was scorching.
08:46His breath came uneven.
08:48Do you know what happens
08:49when you provoke a demon in heat?
08:53What kind of woman does this?
08:55You started it.
08:56And now you want to walk away
08:57to another man?
08:58His thumb traced my lower lip.
09:00His eyes had gone deep red.
09:03Go ahead.
09:04Blame me for this.
09:05You always do.
09:07Amelia.
09:08I'm telling you now.
09:10If you leave,
09:11you can still make it
09:11to Nathan's dinner.
09:13He let go.
09:15Turned to walk away.
09:16I stared at his retreating back.
09:20Why would I go have dinner
09:21with someone else?
09:22You're the one I want to have dinner with.
09:24I hesitated.
09:25Then added,
09:26Darling.
09:27The word landed like a match strike.
09:30Alaric wrenched his arm back
09:31and put three full steps between us.
09:34Amelia.
09:35I'm right here.
09:36He laughed.
09:37Sharp.
09:39Humorless.
09:40Last time you called me that
09:42it was to pull off my scales
09:43and send them to Nathan.
09:45His eyes cut into me.
09:47So what is it this time?
09:48My heart?
09:51I grabbed his hand
09:53and refused to let go.
09:54That's not why.
09:56We're married.
09:57It's a completely normal thing
09:59for a wife to call her husband.
10:01He still didn't believe me.
10:03His gaze swept over me
10:05then flicked to his watch.
10:07If you don't leave soon,
10:08you'll genuinely miss...
10:10Do you want me to go see
10:11another man that badly?
10:13I rose onto my toes
10:14and looped both arms
10:16around his neck.
10:17I never wanted to see him.
10:19I only want to see you.
10:21And I'm starving.
10:23I haven't eaten all day.
10:25Something flickered
10:26in those calm, still eyes.
10:28I rushed out to find you
10:29and wore the wrong shoes.
10:32My feet are killing me.
10:34A long silence,
10:36then a sigh.
10:37The sound of a man
10:38surrendering to something inevitable.
10:40He crouched down
10:41and carefully took my ankle
10:43in his hand.
10:44Let me see.
10:45He examined my foot
10:46with quiet focus.
10:47I looked down at him.
10:49How did I never notice
10:51how absurdly handsome he is?
10:54What if I kissed him right now?
10:56Would he push me down immediately?
10:58Should I?
10:59I'm going to.
11:01Just once.
11:02Just...
11:04Amelia, did he agree?
11:05Why aren't you answering?
11:06Did he say no?
11:07Play on his sympathy.
11:09Make him feel sorry for you.
11:10Amelia, it's all just strategy.
11:12I know you hate him.
11:14But once we have his blood,
11:15we can be together.
11:17Forever.
11:17My chest seized.
11:20I looked up.
11:21Alaric was already looking at me.
11:23His eyes had gone dark,
11:25terrifyingly dark.
11:26He looked at me for one long moment,
11:29then let out a short,
11:30contemptuous laugh.
11:31He dropped my ankle,
11:33stood,
11:34and walked away.
11:35Alaric,
11:36it's not what you heard.
11:38It's fine, Amelia.
11:40Go to him.
11:40I told you,
11:41I won't stand in your way.
11:43His back was trembling.
11:44I bit down hard and ran after him,
11:47wrapped both arms around him from behind.
11:50He went rigid.
11:51I didn't give him time to pull away.
11:53I turned him around,
11:54pulled his hands apart,
11:56and kissed him.
11:57Messy,
11:58desperate,
11:59graceless.
12:00He tried to resist.
12:01Worried about hurting me,
12:03he couldn't bring himself to push hard.
12:05He stood there,
12:06frozen,
12:07and let me make a fool of myself against his face.
12:09Then I pulled back and looked him dead in the eye.
12:12I was wrong about Nathan.
12:14I'd lost my mind.
12:16Alaric,
12:17I swear,
12:19from now on,
12:21there is only you.
12:22He looked at me from under heavy lashes,
12:25then looked away with a small,
12:27bitter smile.
12:28You've said that before,
12:30more times than I can count.
12:31This time is different!
12:33He turned the ring on his finger,
12:35said nothing,
12:36didn't believe me.
12:37I watched his hand,
12:39and then I remembered.
12:40The demon-mate bond.
12:42He'd asked me for it,
12:43every time I'd refused.
12:46I want to form the bond with you.
12:49Tie myself to you.
12:50Permanently.
12:52Yes.
12:52And from the crystal on the floor,
12:54Nathan's voice rang out again.
12:57Amelia,
12:58I'm drunk.
13:00Come pick me up.
13:01I glanced at the antique clock.
13:03Half past eleven at night.
13:04I picked up the crystal and smiled sweetly into it.
13:08Of course, Nathan.
13:10I'm on my way right now.
13:11Just wait for me, okay?
13:12Don't move.
13:13I'm coming, I promise.
13:14I dropped the crystal,
13:17switched it off,
13:18and tossed it across the room.
13:20Let him wait all night.
13:21Preferably forever.
13:23A chill crept up my spine.
13:25I turned around.
13:27Alaric stood in the doorway.
13:29Bare-chested,
13:30towel around his shoulders,
13:32completely still,
13:33watching me with dark,
13:35unreadable eyes.
13:37What?
13:38He didn't answer.
13:40Turned and walked back into the bathroom.
13:43The door slammed.
13:45He'd heard the voice message.
13:47He'd misunderstood.
13:48I rushed after him,
13:50and the bathroom door swung open before I could knock.
13:53Alaric, I...
13:54The words died.
13:56He changed out of his robe,
13:58just a towel at his waist,
14:00hair dripping,
14:01water trailing down his chest,
14:03following the lines of his abdomen
14:05all the way down into
14:07I completely forgot what I was going to say.
14:10Going out?
14:12Mm-hmm.
14:14Wait! No! No, I'm not!
14:16He stepped closer.
14:17Are you coming back?
14:19I'm not going anywhere.
14:21I'm not picking him up!
14:22My legs gave out.
14:23I slid straight into his arms.
14:25Amelia, what's wrong?
14:27It must have been the steam.
14:29Too much heat, not enough air.
14:31Come sit down.
14:32Let me get you water.
14:33He leaned down to hand me the glass.
14:35His warmth radiating against me.
14:38His jaw right there at eye level.
14:41The line of his throat.
14:43And above that,
14:44I was suddenly very thirsty.
14:47And having significant trouble breathing.
14:50I shook my head hard,
14:52stood up abruptly,
14:53and walked away.
14:54Behind me, Alaric opened his eyes.
14:56Something glinted in them,
14:58sharp and quietly amused.
15:00I'd been sleeping in the guest room since the wedding.
15:03All my things were in there.
15:05I went to collect them.
15:06I was deep in the closet
15:08when his voice came from the doorway.
15:12Getting clothes or going to Nathan.
15:15He was watching me
15:16with that carefully controlled expression.
15:19The one that barely covered the ache underneath.
15:22It's cold outside.
15:24Remember to...
15:25He paused.
15:27Wear a coat.
15:28He turned and retreated into the master bedroom,
15:30shutting the door behind him.
15:32Three minutes later,
15:33I shoved that door open
15:34with both arms full of clothes.
15:37Alaric looked up.
15:38I glared at him,
15:39breathless.
15:41Help me!
15:42I have too much!
15:43I'm about to drop everything!
15:44He stared for a beat.
15:46What are you doing?
15:47I dumped everything on the floor.
15:49Isn't it obvious?
15:50I'm moving in.
15:51I pushed his clothes to one side of the closet
15:53and hung all of mine next to them.
15:56Alaric hadn't said a word.
15:58He'd just followed me around the room like a shadow.
16:01Amelia, what's this?
16:03Lipstick.
16:06How do you use it?
16:07How does anyone use lipstick?
16:09You put it on your lips.
16:11Can I help you put it on?
16:13Before I could answer,
16:14he kissed me.
16:16He kissed me until I had to push him back
16:18just to breathe.
16:20I thought you were helping me with my lipstick.
16:22I did.
16:23His eyes were dark
16:24and full of something consuming.
16:27Your lips don't need it anymore.
16:30Alaric,
16:31I was blind for a long time.
16:33I did things that hurt you.
16:34But that's over.
16:36I'm going to love you the way you deserve.
16:40I don't believe you.
16:41Then what would it take?
16:42He stood,
16:43lifted me up,
16:44and his tail curled around me.
16:47Maybe start by showing me.
16:49The next morning,
16:50voices outside pulled me awake.
16:53Nathan.
16:53Standing in the courtyard,
16:55arms crossed,
16:56wearing the expression of someone
16:58who'd been kept waiting
16:59and expected the world
17:00to apologize for it.
17:03Amelia!
17:04Do you know how long
17:05I've been standing out here?
17:06Why didn't you come to meet me?
17:07I was busy studying the diamond
17:09on my ring finger.
17:10When had Alaric put this on me?
17:13Last night?
17:15Nathan exhaled with theatrical patience,
17:17his smile generous
17:18and condescending
17:20all at once.
17:21I came personally
17:22to take you home.
17:23You must be so relieved.
17:25I don't love you anymore.
17:27What?
17:28I straightened up.
17:29Nathan,
17:30I loved you once,
17:31but I mistook gratitude for love.
17:33You have no place in my heart now.
17:36Please go.
17:37A flicker of guilt
17:38crossed his face.
17:39Gone almost instantly,
17:41replaced by volume.
17:43Amelia!
17:44Two years ago,
17:45I saved you from drowning!
17:47You owe me your life!
17:50My parents have always said,
17:52I'm your savior
17:53and you owe me a debt!
17:54The Ashford family
17:55had spent years
17:57pouring that idea into me,
17:58drop by drop,
18:00until I believed it completely.
18:02And because Nathan
18:04had saved me once,
18:05I had followed him
18:06into everything.
18:08Not this time.
18:09He killed me.
18:10We're even.
18:11I opened my mouth
18:13and felt the temperature drop
18:15around me.
18:16I glanced up.
18:18Alaric stood on the
18:19second floor balcony,
18:20hands in his pockets,
18:21watching.
18:23Stop performing, Amelia.
18:24I know you hate Alaric.
18:26You're desperate to come with me,
18:28aren't you?
18:28I'm not.
18:30I love Alaric.
18:32What?
18:32You're so right.
18:34I can't survive a moment
18:36away from him.
18:37I want to tie myself
18:38to him forever.
18:39I love him so much.
18:41One second without him
18:43and my heart just
18:44stops.
18:47Footsteps behind me.
18:48Alaric.
18:49I turned and arranged my face
18:51into delighted surprise.
18:53Darling!
18:54When did you get here?
18:55I only just noticed you.
18:58Oh no!
18:59You heard everything
19:00I just said,
19:01didn't you?
19:02Every single
19:03embarrassing word of it?
19:05Alaric's hand
19:06settled at my waist.
19:08Every word.
19:09Nathan looked like
19:10he was about to catch fire.
19:11You're lying!
19:12You despise this creature!
19:15Enough.
19:16Alaric's arm
19:17tightened around me.
19:18His eyes moved to Nathan.
19:20Flat.
19:21Final.
19:22You entered this palace
19:23only because I allowed it
19:24out of courtesy.
19:26Let me remind you
19:27of something you seem
19:28to have forgotten.
19:29You are the one
19:30who offered her to me.
19:33Willingly.
19:34To keep your crown.
19:36A sacrifice made
19:37cannot be unmade.
19:39Now get out
19:39and don't come back.
19:41Ever.
19:42And found himself
19:43lifted by his collar.
19:45Alaric was about
19:46to throw him
19:47through the gate.
19:48Wait.
19:49Amelia!
19:50I knew it!
19:51You still...
19:52Alaric's grip
19:53on my hand
19:53went rigid.
19:56Nathan.
19:57Don't come
19:58looking for me again.
20:00I'm married.
20:01I have no interest
20:03in contact with you
20:04and I refuse to give
20:04my husband
20:05any reason to worry.
20:06I waved a hand.
20:08Go quickly.
20:09Don't keep turning around.
20:11We have dinner.
20:12The grip on my hand
20:13softened instantly.
20:14Nathan tried
20:15one more time.
20:17Alaric glanced at him.
20:18One glance.
20:19That was all it took.
20:21Nathan went pale,
20:22shut his mouth,
20:23and left.
20:24The gate had barely
20:25closed before I was
20:26against the wall.
20:28Now.
20:30As my wife,
20:32are you prepared
20:34to fulfill
20:34certain responsibilities
20:35to your lord?
20:38I smiled
20:39and reached up
20:40to hook my arms
20:41around his neck.
20:42Are you jealous?
20:44Jealous?
20:46Why would I be jealous
20:47of a coward
20:48who doesn't know
20:49the first thing
20:49about love?
20:50So you do,
20:51do know.
20:52Have you loved
20:53someone before?
20:54My stomach dropped.
20:57Wait, seriously?
20:59There was someone?
21:01He lifted me
21:02onto his lap
21:02and his tail
21:03wound around me.
21:05Now it's my turn
21:05to ask.
21:06Are you jealous?
21:08His lips found mine.
21:10I have never loved
21:11anyone else.
21:12Only you.
21:14Will you leave me?
21:16I'm not leaving you.
21:17I promise.
21:19Then prove it.
21:20The sky was already
21:22lightning at the edges
21:22when I finally
21:23fell asleep.
21:24The last thing I felt
21:25was his lips
21:26on my forehead.
21:28I have so many gems.
21:29So much gold.
21:32Everything humans love.
21:33I'll give it all to you.
21:35Stay with me.
21:36Be mine.
21:37Forever.
21:38I was too exhausted
21:39to answer out loud.
21:40I slept deeply
21:42and dreamed
21:43in pieces.
21:44In the dream,
21:45I was 16.
21:46My parents were gone.
21:48Suddenly,
21:49terribly gone.
21:50The Ashford family
21:51took me in.
21:52They wanted my parents' estate.
21:53So they told me
21:55over and over
21:56that Nathan
21:56had saved my life.
21:58No.
21:59It wasn't Nathan.
22:01It was a demon.
22:03He hadn't hurt me.
22:05He'd spread
22:05those vast black wings
22:07and carried me down
22:08from the mountain,
22:09back to the human kingdom,
22:11and left me there,
22:12safely.
22:14Nathan's mother
22:15slapped me
22:15across the face.
22:17What demon?
22:19It was Nathan.
22:20Nathan saved you.
22:22You owe this family
22:23everything.
22:26She didn't stop
22:27until I stopped moving.
22:28Stupid girl.
22:30I'll beat it into you
22:31if I have to.
22:32Life in the Ashford house
22:34was a long cruelty.
22:35She dismissed the servants
22:37to save money
22:37and gave me the work instead.
22:39Dishes.
22:40Cooking.
22:41Leftover food.
22:42Nathan's old clothes.
22:44The floor outside the door
22:46for a bed.
22:47Anyone in that house
22:48could hit me
22:48when they felt like it.
22:49It hurt so much.
22:51I cried myself to sleep
22:53almost every night.
22:55You said you'd protect me.
22:56You said you'd come back
22:57when I was grown.
22:59Where are you?
23:00It hurts.
23:01It really hurts.
23:03Alaric never came.
23:05Before I could find him,
23:06the Ashford family
23:07made me a test subject
23:08in their dark magic laboratory.
23:11They drained my blood
23:12and replaced it.
23:14They rewrote my memories.
23:17They locked me in a room
23:19with no windows
23:20and no light.
23:22Slowly,
23:23his face began to fade.
23:25Every time I slept,
23:27he grew a little blurrier,
23:28a little further away.
23:31I fought it.
23:32I refused to let him disappear.
23:35I stole a needle
23:36and drove it into my arm
23:37to stay awake.
23:38I used a stone
23:39to beat my own legs.
23:41I carved wounds
23:42all over my body
23:43just to hold on
23:45to the memory of him.
23:47But their experiment
23:48succeeded anyway.
23:48Alaric became my enemy
23:50in my own mind.
23:52And Nathan
23:53became my savior.
23:55The lost memories
23:56returned all at once
23:57and the pain
23:58was so overwhelming
24:00I couldn't breathe.
24:02Then a hand caught mine.
24:03I opened my eyes.
24:05Alaric,
24:06watching me
24:07with an expression,
24:08something quiet
24:09and terrified
24:10and
24:12completely undone.
24:13The dream shattered.
24:14I was back.
24:15And this time,
24:17I wasn't alone.
24:18I lunged upright
24:19and locked both arms
24:20around his neck.
24:21Before he could say anything,
24:23I was sobbing so hard
24:24I couldn't catch my breath.
24:26You lied to me.
24:28You said you'd come right back
24:29with the gem.
24:31I waited
24:32and waited
24:33and I couldn't find you anymore.
24:35What was I supposed to do?
24:38You said you'd take me
24:40somewhere safe.
24:41I want to go somewhere safe.
24:43I didn't want to go with them.
24:44Please take me somewhere safe.
24:47They put needles in me,
24:49thick ones,
24:49over and over.
24:52They made every day
24:53feel like dying.
24:54You.
24:55Getting to you.
24:57Going somewhere safe with you.
24:58That was the only thought
24:59that kept me alive.
25:00How could I not want
25:01to go with you?
25:02I was going out
25:03of my mind, waiting.
25:06Alaric, I'm sorry.
25:08For everything I did
25:10that hurt you.
25:10I just,
25:11I don't know how to say it.
25:13I'm sorry.
25:14All these years,
25:16I missed you so much.
25:18I didn't stop to wonder
25:20if he understood.
25:21I just talked
25:22until there was nothing left.
25:23He listened to every word.
25:25His eyes had gone red.
25:27His whole body
25:28was trembling.
25:28His arms pulled me
25:30closer and closer,
25:31like he was trying
25:32to absorb me entirely.
25:34A long time passed.
25:35When I finally went quiet,
25:38I tried to speak
25:39and accidentally
25:40blew a bubble
25:41from my nose instead.
25:43I died of embarrassment
25:44and shoved him away.
25:45Alaric!
25:46Alaric!
25:46Let go for a second!
25:47Let go for a second!
25:48He released me immediately.
25:50That's when I noticed it.
25:52A stone hanging
25:53from a cord
25:54around his neck.
25:55Sky blue.
25:56Faintly luminous.
25:58This is...
25:59His hand covered mine.
26:02The most beautiful gem
26:03in the mountain.
26:04It was always meant for you.
26:06But when I came back,
26:08you were gone.
26:08My throat tightened.
26:10And then...
26:11He wiped my tears away.
26:13Then I waited.
26:15One year.
26:16Then another.
26:18I'm not very good at this,
26:19so I never found you.
26:20So eventually I decided
26:22I had to come
26:22look for you myself.
26:24You're ridiculous!
26:25What if I'd been dead?
26:27A demon only ever
26:28has one mate.
26:30So...
26:31You live.
26:32I live.
26:33You die.
26:35I will not live without you.
26:37I threw myself
26:39back into his arms
26:40and cried
26:42all over again.
26:44Three days later,
26:45the Ashford family's
26:46dark magic laboratory
26:48was exposed.
26:49The city turned on them
26:51overnight.
26:52Crowds surrounded
26:53the palace.
26:54Nathan's mother
26:55took her own life
26:56before dawn.
26:57Nathan was brought
26:58before the courts
26:58for his role
26:59in the experiments.
27:01I heard the news
27:02while Nanny Margaret
27:03was helping me
27:03try on jewelry.
27:04The pieces were
27:05piled in front of me,
27:07gleaming gold.
27:08Alaric sat behind me,
27:10watching my every move
27:11like he had nowhere else
27:12to be in the universe.
27:15Why is there so much?
27:17I couldn't possibly
27:18wear all of this.
27:20He stood,
27:21walked over,
27:22and settled behind me.
27:24Then wear it slowly.
27:27Whatever's left,
27:28we can pass down
27:28to our children.
27:30What?
27:31I turned to look at him,
27:32confused.
27:34And then remembered
27:35exactly what I'd been
27:36researching in the library
27:37yesterday.
27:40Whether a human
27:41and a demon
27:41can have children together.
27:43You should know by now
27:45that books aren't the way
27:46to find that answer.
27:49Alaric, stop!
27:51He pressed a kiss
27:52to my palm,
27:53eyes looking up
27:54at me with...
27:54The only way to know
27:56is to try.
27:58He picked me up,
28:00started walking
28:00toward the bedroom.
28:02Let's find out.
28:03Alaric, it's the middle
28:03of the day!
28:04You can't just...
28:06Does it have to be
28:07daytime specifically?
28:09I tried to push him back.
28:10He didn't move at all.
28:12I've waited long enough.
28:14This is his voice.
28:15Low and unhurried.
28:17Somewhere between
28:18memory and confession.
28:20From the day I was born
28:21I was different
28:22from other demons.
28:23The purest royal bloodline
28:25in a hundred years.
28:26I lived for centuries
28:27without a care in the world.
28:29Then I met a human girl.
28:31A demon takes only one mate.
28:34Once chosen.
28:35That bond holds
28:36through every lifetime,
28:37never broken.
28:38But humans can love
28:40a thousand times over.
28:42People say
28:43humans love until the end
28:45and then it all
28:46comes down to conscience.
28:48That's why a demon
28:49must never, ever
28:50fall in love with a human.
28:52It can only end in loss.
28:54I had always considered
28:55humans my enemies.
28:57But this girl
28:58didn't seem like an enemy.
29:00She seemed more like
29:02a small flower
29:03bending in the wind and rain.
29:05I didn't speak her language.
29:07But she always seemed
29:08to understand what I meant.
29:10She would reach out
29:11and take my hand
29:12on her own.
29:13She sang me human songs.
29:15I lashed my tail
29:16and tried to drive her away.
29:18She blinked at me
29:19and started following me
29:20from closer.
29:21Then from further away.
29:23You're a good person.
29:27Look at her.
29:28Does she even know
29:28what good means?
29:30I told myself
29:31I should go back
29:31to somewhere safe
29:32and leave her alone
29:33on that shore.
29:35But I didn't want
29:35to watch her cry.
29:37So I stayed.
29:38Just to keep her company
29:39for a while.
29:40That's all.
29:41I didn't understand
29:42what was pulling me
29:43towards her.
29:44I only knew
29:44that every day spent
29:45beside her
29:46was the happiest day
29:47I'd had.
29:47I want the most beautiful
29:48gem in the world.
29:50I went and found it.
29:52It nearly killed me.
29:53I didn't care.
29:54I came back with it
29:55in my hands.
29:56And she was gone.
29:58So I waited.
30:00Sunrise to sunset.
30:02Sunset to sunrise.
30:03I waited so many days
30:04and nights
30:05that I finally understood.
30:06She didn't want the gem.
30:08She didn't want me.
30:09I don't know
30:10how long I waited.
30:13Three years.
30:15Maybe six.
30:16Long enough
30:16that I lost count.
30:18Eventually I stopped waiting
30:19and decided to go find her.
30:21The witch at the safe haven
30:23had a potion
30:23that could lead me to her.
30:28No demon who has ever
30:29loved a human
30:30has come to a good end.
30:32You are a high lord
30:34of the purest blood.
30:36But if you pursue this
30:37you may lose everything.
30:39If she does not love you
30:40you may lose your life.
30:43Even so
30:44will you go?
30:45And just like that
30:47I understood
30:47what this feeling was.
30:49I nodded
30:49without hesitating.
30:51The potion was agony.
30:53But every time
30:54the pain became unbearable
30:56I thought I'm almost there.
30:58And somehow
30:59it hurt a little less.
31:01I never said it
31:02to her plainly.
31:03I was afraid
31:04of what her face
31:05would look like
31:05if I did.
31:07That expression
31:08disgust
31:09rejection
31:10hurt worse
31:11than any witch's brew.
31:12She had forgotten me.
31:14And then she hated me.
31:16But
31:17if she had ever
31:18truly looked at me
31:18she would have seen it.
31:20It was in the way
31:21I watched her.
31:22In the heartbeat
31:23I couldn't control.
31:24In every flush
31:26of warmth
31:26I couldn't hide.
31:28I asked her
31:28a thousand times
31:29without a single word.
31:30Maybe the heavens
31:31finally heard me.
31:33Because one day
31:34the way she looked
31:35at me changed.
31:36Not disgust anymore.
31:38Something softer.
31:40Guilty.
31:41tender.
31:42I thought
31:43darkly.
31:44Guilt keeps people
31:45close.
31:46And tenderness.
31:48Tenderness is close
31:49enough to love.
31:50Maybe that's enough
31:51to hold her
31:52for a lifetime.
31:54I know what I am.
31:56Selfish.
31:57Calculating.
31:58Willing to use
31:59any means necessary.
32:01I made myself
32:02look more pitiful
32:03on purpose.
32:04Just to earn
32:05her sympathy.
32:05Amelia.
32:07Can you look
32:07at me now?
32:08Really look.
32:10I love you
32:11until it's
32:11almost madness.
32:13I hand you
32:14my life
32:14without a second
32:15thought.
32:16I only want
32:17to be beside you.
32:18Whatever the cost.
32:19do
32:19best.
32:21You
32:21move
32:21into
32:22the
32:22to
32:22progress
32:23to
