FunTranscript
00:00Seven years of marriage, and Lucian never once marked me.
00:04He never wanted me as his Luna.
00:05Then I finally gave up and decided to leave,
00:08and a voice came from behind me.
00:09Don't get in the car! Don't go!
00:12What? Something else?
00:14No, but when I turned around, that voice was back.
00:17Should I beg her to stay?
00:20I was thinking...
00:22Thinking what? About staying, right? Just say you'll stay!
00:25Same voice. I knew it was Lucian's.
00:28But he was standing right there, lips not moving at all.
00:31Wait, can I hear what he's thinking?
00:33To test it, I spoke again.
00:35I can't remember. Is there anything else you want to say to me?
00:40I... never mind. I can't take her freedom away.
00:43It's real. I can actually hear his heart.
00:46I was about to push a little more, but Sergafina walked over.
00:49She's the Morvain Pack Alpha's daughter, and the best werewolf doctor alive.
00:53The annual wolf moon was three days away,
00:55and Alpha's senses, hunger, all of it goes through the roof.
00:59For six years, Sergafina was the one keeping an eye on Lucian.
01:03Go on. Don't worry.
01:05I'll take good care of Lucian during the wolf moon.
01:07Her. Again.
01:08Last year, she screamed outside my door all night.
01:10The wolf moon didn't kill me. She nearly did.
01:12Lucian,
01:13you can't just tough it out alone again this year.
01:16Aren't there suppresses?
01:18Six years straight on suppresses, your body's built up a tolerance.
01:22This year, you have to bond with someone who can handle an Alpha's power.
01:25It's the only way you'll survive.
01:27She paused, glanced at me, like she was weighing something.
01:31If someone really has to stay, I can help you.
01:33At least I'm a werewolf.
01:35Eleanor has no wolf in her.
01:37She'd never survive a feral Alpha.
01:40Bring the suppresses, as usual.
01:42Who asked her for help?
01:44Six years guarding my door, and she thinks she's my Luna already?
01:47If she dares walk in, I'll throw her out myself!
01:50For seven years, I was sure this man hated me.
01:53Sure he'd make Sergafina his Luna sooner or later.
01:56Everyone said Lucian and I were just a loveless marriage between two packs.
02:00And I took after my human mother.
02:01I never shifted. Not once.
02:03But if Sergafina had never even been inside his bedroom,
02:07how much else did I get wrong?
02:10Take my bags back inside.
02:11I'm not leaving today.
02:13Suit yourself.
02:14My Eleanor's staying!
02:15No lying awake all night missing!
02:17The next morning, I went to the tallest shelf,
02:20hoping to find something on mind reading.
02:23I reached for the ladder,
02:24and that familiar voice slipped into my ears.
02:28A ladder?
02:29Did you forget you have a husband to order around?
02:31I looked at Lucian.
02:32Same ice-cold face, eyes glued to his book.
02:35Lucian?
02:37Speak.
02:38Get me that book on the top shelf.
02:40You called me over for that?
02:42She called for me.
02:44Slow down.
02:44Don't walk too fast.
02:46It'll look obvious.
02:47The shelf was three steps away.
02:49He walked like he was patrolling his territory.
02:51He handed me the book.
02:53I didn't take it.
02:54I reached up and brushed the hair off his forehead.
02:58Something else?
02:59Touch me again!
03:00Just once!
03:01I bit back a smile,
03:03pulled my hand away,
03:04and took the book.
03:05Your hair was a mess.
03:07And thank you.
03:09That is it!
03:10I should move the books higher.
03:12Then she'd have to call me again.
03:14Never mind.
03:15I'll read it tomorrow.
03:17I'll get the ladder myself from now on.
03:19I won't keep bothering you.
03:20Suit yourself.
03:21That ladder is so high.
03:22What if she falls?
03:23It won't kill you to say my name.
03:25Fighting a green,
03:27I handed the book back to him.
03:29Then,
03:30put it back for me.
03:32So much trouble.
03:34Tomorrow,
03:35I am moving the whole row to the top too high
03:37for any ladder.
03:39By now,
03:39I was almost certain.
03:40My husband,
03:41who hadn't touched me in seven years,
03:43had a lot more going on in his head than I thought.
03:46That night,
03:47the Ashbury Estate held its annual charity gala.
03:50The band had barely started
03:52when Serafina walked up to Lucien
03:54and held out her hand.
03:56Lucien,
03:57dance with me.
03:58Everyone was waiting for him to take it.
04:00He looked right past her,
04:02at me.
04:03Still sitting there?
04:04She's stealing your husband in front of everyone,
04:06and you're still drinking?
04:08I took a slow sip on purpose.
04:10Eleanor,
04:11just try giving me away to her.
04:13I nearly choked on it.
04:15For seven years,
04:16I thought I was the unwanted one in this marriage.
04:18But now it looked like Lucien cared more than I did,
04:21about whether I cared at all.
04:23I set down my glass and walked up to them.
04:25Serafina's hand was still out,
04:27her smile full of confidence.
04:29Everyone was waiting to watch
04:30the trophy wife humiliate herself.
04:32I held out my hand to him.
04:34May I have this dance?
04:36Serafina's hand was still hanging in the air.
04:38Lucien walked right past her and took mine.
04:41Yes.
04:42She actually came to me.
04:43Stay calm, Lucien.
04:44Don't screw this up.
04:46He led me onto the dance floor.
04:48One hand on my waist,
04:50one holding mine.
04:51He never once looked Serafina's way.
04:53She had to grab a glass off a waiter's tray
04:56to hide her empty hand.
04:57My Eleanor smells so good.
04:59She is gorgeous tonight.
05:01Is her neckline lower than usual?
05:03Don't look.
05:04Okay, one more look.
05:05Hiding a smile,
05:07I used a turn to lean a little closer into him.
05:09Careful.
05:10That was close.
05:12I almost kissed her.
05:13If she leans in again,
05:14I won't sleep tonight.
05:16I looked up and leaned in even closer.
05:20Feeling hot?
05:21Hmm.
05:22The wolf moon's coming.
05:24Hold it together.
05:25Seven years.
05:26Don't blow it over one dance.
05:28So he didn't want to keep his hands off me.
05:30He was barely holding on.
05:32After the gala,
05:33Serafina came after us fast.
05:35Lucien had turned her down,
05:36but she didn't look embarrassed at all.
05:38To her one scrap of dignity from my husband
05:40didn't change the fact that I wasn't wanted.
05:43It was one dance.
05:45You don't actually think it means anything.
05:47I never said it did.
05:50The wolf mine is in two days.
05:52And Alpha's instincts don't hide.
05:54And this year especially,
05:56he has to bond with a partner.
05:59You don't even have a wolf.
06:00When it comes down to it,
06:02do you really think Lucien will let you into his bedroom?
06:04She laughed as she said it.
06:06For six years,
06:07Lucien picked suppresses over ever touching his own wife.
06:10Everyone believed he simply didn't want me.
06:12So Serafina was sure
06:13she'd be the one bonding with him that night.
06:15That confidence on Serafina's face,
06:17I'd seen it many times before.
06:20Lucien used to bring Serafina to werewolf family dinners.
06:23I thought he was reminding me of my place.
06:25So I told him,
06:26Sincerely,
06:27Serafina grew up with you,
06:28and she's a werewolf doctor.
06:30She really is a better fit for your Luna.
06:32Back then, that memory just made me cringe.
06:34Tonight, I heard the other side of it.
06:36What did she say to Eleanor this time?
06:38Why isn't Ellen even a little jealous?
06:39I brought Serafina those dinners just to make her jealous,
06:42and she goes and says we're a great match.
06:45A great match!
06:46She and I are the match,
06:47but she only married me to seal a pack alliance.
06:50That night, seven years ago,
06:51she saw my wolf eyes and fangs and went pale.
06:54The second I touched her,
06:55she flinched.
06:56She must not like me.
06:57I froze.
06:58Seven years ago,
06:59I only pulled back because he got too rough and it hurt.
07:02After that,
07:02I assumed Lucien regretted touching me.
07:04All these years,
07:05I waited for him to come closer,
07:06and he thought I was afraid of him.
07:08I smiled at Serafina.
07:10Then good luck on Wolf Moon Night.
07:12Don't worry.
07:13No one knows better than me
07:14what a feral alpha needs.
07:17In Serafina's mind,
07:18if Lucien chose her that night,
07:20the Luna seat would be hers soon enough.
07:22Too bad Lucien had no plan to grant her wish.
07:24Where does she get the nerve?
07:26All I think about is getting into my wife's bed.
07:28Problem is,
07:29Eleanor probably doesn't even want me.
07:31How do I get her to stay in my room
07:33on Wolf Moon Night?
07:34That night,
07:35Lucien was worse than anyone expected.
07:37Serafina barely opened his bedroom door
07:39before he threw her out.
07:41Get out!
07:42The drugs aren't holding anymore, Lucien.
07:44Let me help you.
07:45I said,
07:46get out.
07:48Serafina backed out,
07:49face dark,
07:50and then Lucien saw me.
07:52Eleanor,
07:52what are you doing here?
07:54Go back.
07:54I just came to check on you.
07:56You've checked.
07:57Now leave.
07:58He was so harsh,
07:59my temper flared.
08:00I turned to go.
08:01Don't come back.
08:02I can't control it.
08:03I'll hurt her.
08:04She is really leaving.
08:06Fine.
08:07At least she won't get hurt.
08:08I stopped.
08:09Why does she always do as she is told?
08:11Same as seven years ago.
08:12I let go once,
08:13and she never came back.
08:15I turned and walked back.
08:16Serafina blocked me.
08:18He just told you to leave.
08:20He hates you.
08:21That's between me and my husband.
08:23I pushed the bedroom door open.
08:25Everyone in the outer room turned to stare.
08:27To them,
08:27I was the wife who got kicked out
08:28and came crawling back anyway.
08:29They were all waiting to see
08:31how Lucian would humiliate me.
08:33Lucian's eyes had gone fully gold.
08:35Why did you come back?
08:37Do you really want me to go?
08:39Eleanor,
08:39if you stay,
08:40you could get hurt.
08:41Tell her to go.
08:42If she says no,
08:43I'll let her walk out.
08:44I walked up to him
08:45and put his hand on my waist.
08:46His hand tightened in instantly.
08:49I'm not leaving.
08:52Are you sure you can still walk away?
08:56I'm sure.
08:57A second or later,
08:58he leaned down,
08:59about to kiss.
09:00His arms were rigid,
09:01but every time his grip on my waist tightened,
09:04he pulled it back.
09:07Push me away if it hurts.
09:09Slow down.
09:10She isn't a wolf.
09:11I scared her off once already.
09:13Don't hurt her again.
09:14He was even afraid I'd push him away.
09:17I held his face so he'd hear me clearly.
09:20Lucian,
09:21I'm not staying out of pity or duty.
09:22Then why?
09:24Because I want to be with my husband.
09:25He stared at me for a few seconds,
09:27hand frozen at my waist.
09:29She wants me.
09:30Does she really want me?
09:31I stopped letting him guess.
09:33I tilted my head up and kissed him.
09:35His kisses moved from my mouth to my throat.
09:38His fangs touched skin,
09:39then stopped.
09:40No mate mark tonight.
09:42You don't want to.
09:43I do, so badly.
09:44It is driving me crazy.
09:45Staying tonight.
09:46Part of that is the wolf moon talking.
09:48A mate bond is forever.
09:50I want you to choose it clear-headed and willing.
09:52Then no mark.
09:53But everything else is fine.
09:55Eleanor, you'd better know what you're saying.
09:57You talk too much.
09:58I pulled him back down and kissed him.
10:00Seven years late,
10:01but we finally had our wedding night.
10:03At dawn,
10:04I coughed once,
10:05and Lucian woke beside me.
10:07He got up,
10:08poured warm water,
10:09and held it to my lips.
10:11Easy.
10:12Does anything hurt?
10:13Let me see.
10:16He lifted the blanket for one look,
10:18then fumbled it back down,
10:20ears burning red.
10:21Damn.
10:22Mark's all over her waist.
10:23I should have been gentler.
10:24Not my fault.
10:26She sounds so sexy saying my name.
10:28Stop thinking about it.
10:29Keep this up,
10:30and neither of us leaves this bed.
10:32I nearly choked on the water laughing.
10:35Serafina's voice rose outside the door,
10:37complaining to the pack members and elders who'd just arrived.
10:41Last night she insisted on going in.
10:42I couldn't stop her.
10:43Who knows what went on in there?
10:45Lucian hates her.
10:46What if his wolf took over and he hurt Eleanor?
10:48I'm going in.
10:49Serafina had called everyone here on purpose
10:51to watch me fall on my face.
10:53Before she could touch the door,
10:55Lucian was the first to slip on his coat and open the door.
10:58I stretched leisurely,
10:59slow and easy.
11:01Serafina's eyes landed on the marks on my collarbone.
11:03Her tray tipped.
11:05Bottles everywhere.
11:06Why is she in your bed?
11:07My wife in my bed.
11:09Problem?
11:09I couldn't hold in a cough.
11:11Lucian spun around to pat my back.
11:13Then let me run your post-wolf moon exam.
11:15It's always been me.
11:17Anything you need, say it at the clinic.
11:19This is Eleanor's in my bedroom.
11:21Don't bring a crowd to our door again without an invitation.
11:24Serafina's smile slipped.
11:25She looked to the butler,
11:27who had already stepped aside to clear the hall.
11:29She forced the corner of her mouth up
11:31and had no choice but to follow.
11:33I went to my room to change.
11:36Lucian followed.
11:37She is changing.
11:39Should I leave?
11:40Then again,
11:41I saw everything last night anyway.
11:43Lucan,
11:44grab me a hair tie from the nightstand.
11:45He crouched down to look.
11:47The second he opened the drawer,
11:49a signed document slid out.
11:51Divorce papers?
11:53I'd sign them the day I planned to leave.
11:55But then came his thoughts,
11:56the wolf moon,
11:57the gala,
11:58and I forgot all about them.
11:59Weren't you just going back to Rosendale for a few days?
12:02I was.
12:03I wasn't planning on coming back.
12:05And now,
12:06do you still want to divorce?
12:08So,
12:09she really was done with me.
12:10I don't regret last night.
12:12I was happy.
12:13But that doesn't erase seven years of being ignored,
12:15or seven years of everyone laughing at me.
12:18Ignored?
12:18When did I ever...
12:19And in that moment it hit him.
12:21He'd been hurting me for seven years without knowing it.
12:24I told him,
12:25one by one,
12:26the worst moments of those seven years.
12:28The disgusted looks from everyone in the estate.
12:32Seraphine on his arm at galas,
12:33smiling like the lady of the house.
12:35He opened his mouth and found nothing to say.
12:39I thought you hated those events.
12:40I thought you liked the quiet.
12:42Did you ever ask...
12:43Lucan went silent.
12:45It was always, I thought.
12:46He never once asked what I wanted.
12:48Lucan,
12:49a marriage can't run on guesswork.
12:51If you didn't love me,
12:52you should have told me seven years ago,
12:54not left me here as the joke everyone could trample.
12:56On our wedding night,
12:57you hurt me.
12:58I flinched once,
12:59and you moved to the study and never touched me again.
13:02So I believed you regretted marrying me.
13:04That you hated me.
13:06No.
13:07I thought you were scared of me.
13:08I was afraid if I got closer,
13:10you'd hate me more.
13:11So I just...
13:12He stopped mid-sentence.
13:14He heard it too.
13:15There it was again,
13:16I thought.
13:16The divorce papers crest in his hand.
13:19His eyes slowly went red.
13:21Then suddenly he pulled me in,
13:23held me tight,
13:24chin on my shoulder,
13:25and didn't move for a long time.
13:27I'm sorry, Edelon.
13:29I'm sorry.
13:30I left her alone and miserable for seven years.
13:35I felt a spot of damp on my shoulder.
13:37The most feared Alpha in the North,
13:39holding his wife one morning,
13:41crying like a child.
13:42I raised my hand and patted Lucien's back.
13:45When we pulled apart,
13:46he'd wiped it away.
13:47Only his voice was still rough.
13:49If you still want the divorce,
13:51I'll sign.
13:52Money, land,
13:53I'll give you everything.
13:54That's what you want to say.
13:55No.
13:57I want to beg you to stay.
13:59Say it.
14:00Is one sentence really that hard?
14:02So much in his head
14:03and not one honest word for me.
14:06I was crushed and about to walk out
14:08when he caught my wrist.
14:11Can you give me a little more time?
14:13To do what?
14:15Ask you every question I never asked.
14:17Take you everywhere I never took you.
14:19I want to keep you.
14:21If you still want to leave at the end,
14:22I'll sign.
14:23Best case,
14:24she tears those stupid papers up herself.
14:27I looked at him.
14:29This man had probably never bowed
14:31to anyone in his life.
14:33Okay.
14:34Breakfast wasn't even over
14:35when a lawyer from Rosenville
14:37delivered an official letter.
14:38Before I left,
14:40I hadn't just signed divorce papers,
14:42I'd also authorized a filing
14:43to dissolve the PAC alliance.
14:46Under PAC alliance rules,
14:48once a filing is accepted,
14:50there's a 15-day withdrawal window.
14:52If I don't withdraw within 15 days,
14:55the alliance dissolves on its own,
14:57even without a signed divorce.
14:59Lucian read the letter top to bottom
15:00and stopped on the date.
15:03The clock's already running.
15:04Today's day one.
15:06Can I withdraw it?
15:07Only I can.
15:09I thought he'd at least say the rule was unfair.
15:13Instead, he poured me a glass of milk.
15:15His hand was shaking.
15:19Then let's eat breakfast first.
15:2115 days.
15:22I have to make it up to her.
15:24Make her want to stay.
15:25He didn't look at me when he said it,
15:27just stared at the milk
15:28like he was declaring war.
15:30I looked down at my eggs,
15:32fighting a smile I couldn't hide.
15:34Fine, Lucian.
15:35I'll give you 15 days.
15:37He just asked where I wanted to go that afternoon,
15:40when a name I hadn't heard in years
15:42came from the doorway.
15:44Theodore stood in the doorway,
15:46still cold from the road.
15:47He's the Blackwood PAC Alpha
15:49and the friend I grew up with.
15:50My father knew the withdrawal window had opened,
15:52so he sent him to come get me.
15:54He set a key down in front of me.
15:56Your father got you a new house.
15:58When are you leaving?
15:59I'll drive you.
16:00I haven't even started winning her back.
16:02And someone's here to steal my wife.
16:04And who gave him the right to call her Ellie?
16:06I never have.
16:07I want to stay a few more days.
16:09Okay.
16:10Then can I stay with you a few days?
16:12He paused and looked at Lucian.
16:14Mr. Lucian, is that all right?
16:16If not, I'll take a hotel.
16:18Be my guest.
16:19We have plenty of rooms.
16:20It's not all right.
16:22Not even close.
16:24What are you grinning at my wife for?
16:25Got nice teeth?
16:27Down the hall,
16:28Serafina caught the tension between the three of us.
16:31Butler, who is that man?
16:33A childhood friend of the lady.
16:35She didn't push further.
16:37She picked up the landline
16:38and called the Morvane family steward.
16:43Look into Theodore for me.
16:45What was he to Eleanor before?
16:47At lunch,
16:48Theodore picked the olives out of his plate
16:49and gave them to me one by one.
16:52You used to steal mine when we were kids.
16:54Never touched your own.
16:55She likes olives.
16:56Seven years married and I never knew.
16:58Remember this.
16:59Remember all of it.
17:01Lucian glanced at his salad
17:02and swapped the whole plate to me.
17:05My heart went soft,
17:06so I picked up his coffee
17:07and sipped from the exact spot his lips had touched.
17:10That is my cup.
17:11Does she know?
17:12I put it back and turned the rim toward him on purpose.
17:15He looked at me,
17:16then bent down and drank from the same spot.
17:18She absolutely did that.
17:20On purpose.
17:21Theodore pretended not to notice
17:23and mentioned he'd take me to pick up what my father ordered.
17:26I'll drive you.
17:27Aren't you busy?
17:27Not today.
17:28My wife's about to leave.
17:30Who cares about bi-
17:31As we were heading out,
17:33Serafina showed up.
17:35So this is Theodore.
17:36I only just heard
17:38Eleanor wrote you a love letter at 17.
17:40A love letter?
17:42She never told you?
17:43Well, it was ages ago.
17:45You don't mind, do you?
17:46They grew up together.
17:47Being close is only natural.
17:49She covered her mouth like she'd slipped.
17:51A perfectly innocent past
17:53twisted into some dirty secret.
17:55That letter was returned the same day.
17:58Theodore didn't think a wolfless girl fit his pack.
18:00Please tell the rest of it too.
18:02That was my mistake back then.
18:04What happened at 17 isn't worth minding.
18:06I suppose.
18:07No explosion from Lucien.
18:09Serafina nodded,
18:10deflated,
18:10and watched us leave.
18:12Theodore held the door for me
18:13and moved toward the back seat.
18:15But Lucien's hand was already on the other side.
18:18Mr. Theodore,
18:20the front seat has a better view.
18:22The back seat is mine.
18:23So is the person next to it.
18:25Sorry, force of habit.
18:28Ellie and I used to whisper back here as kids.
18:30I get it.
18:31But my wife likes leaning on me.
18:33She'd be uncomfortable with anyone else.
18:35Theodore looked at him for two seconds,
18:37laughed,
18:38and got in the front without a word.
18:42Lucien sat close to me
18:43and stared at the same page of a document the whole way.
18:46I pulled a necklace from my bag
18:48and held it up to him.
18:50Honey,
18:51put this on me.
18:53The paper slid right off his lap.
18:57What did she just call me?
18:59Say it again.
19:00No,
19:01necklace first.
19:02Don't let your hands shake.
19:04He fastened the clasp.
19:05His fingers lingered at the back of my neck,
19:07so close to where a mate mark goes.
19:09Still empty here.
19:11In 15 days,
19:12will it still be mine?
19:14When we got back,
19:15the butler was waiting in the hall with an invitation.
19:18The Ashford Pack's core dinner was in three days.
19:21For seven years,
19:22those invitations only ever went to Lucien and Serafina.
19:25Sir,
19:26the invitation,
19:27should I address it like last year to you and-
19:29The second one goes to Eleanor.
19:30The butler blinked,
19:31then handed it to me.
19:33I held the invitation
19:34and thought of the gown buried in my closet,
19:37waiting seven years,
19:38worn zero times.
19:40Will you come with me, m'lady?
19:42I'd love to.
19:45That evening,
19:47Theodore brought up the old letter in the garden.
19:50Eleanor,
19:51I owe you an apology.
19:53Back then,
19:53I believed an Alpha's Luna had to have a wolf.
19:55You had none.
19:57I was afraid my father would object,
19:59afraid the pack would say I chose wrong,
20:01so I turned you down.
20:02It was years ago.
20:03For you,
20:04not for me.
20:05If in 15 days,
20:06you still decide to leave Lucien,
20:08I want to try again,
20:10court you properly.
20:11Behind us,
20:13a door clicked softly.
20:15Lucien stood behind the doorway,
20:17holding the shawl I'd left on the sofa.
20:19Lucien didn't stay to hear the rest,
20:21or maybe he didn't dare.
20:24I found him in the study,
20:25hunched over a page.
20:27When he saw me,
20:28he fumbled it into a ball.
20:29Then he pretended to be busy.
20:31Where's my pen?
20:32In your hand.
20:33He froze,
20:34looked at the pen,
20:35and turned red from his ears down to his neck.
20:37About what he said,
20:39what do you think?
20:40You heard it,
20:41didn't you?
20:41Only the last line.
20:43Of course,
20:43it had to be that one.
20:44I couldn't help laughing.
20:46Laughing again?
20:47Lately,
20:48every time I think something,
20:50she seems to know.
20:51I pretended not to hear,
20:52and tidied his desk.
20:54Eleanor,
20:54if you can really hear me,
20:56touch your wedding ring.
20:58My fingers found the ring
20:59before I could stop them.
21:01By the time I pulled back,
21:02it was too late.
21:03The study went dead quiet.
21:06Lucian stared at me.
21:08Confusion,
21:09then disbelief,
21:10then the stiffness of a man about to die.
21:13You can hear my thoughts.
21:14I can.
21:15Since when?
21:17The day I packed my bags to leave.
21:19He shut his eyes and covered half his face.
21:22Then everything I said,
21:23in the study,
21:24at the gala,
21:25on wolf moon night.
21:27Not a single word missed.
21:29I'm done for.
21:30That one too.
21:32His ears went scarlet.
21:34I was holding it in,
21:36but the look on his face broke me.
21:37I burst out laughing.
21:39He peeked through his fingers
21:40and just gave up.
21:41Can I request
21:42that you forget a few parts?
21:45Which parts?
21:46He opened his mouth.
21:48Nothing came out.
21:49All those thoughts about clinging to me,
21:51begging to be touched.
21:52He couldn't say a single one out loud.
21:55I smoothed out the crumpled page on his desk.
21:58A half-written letter.
21:59Messy,
22:00crossed out,
22:01rewritten.
22:02It was a love letter.
22:04Enough sweet words to fill seven years,
22:06and a plea for me to stay.
22:08By the end,
22:09my nose stung.
22:10It is not finished yet.
22:11Don't throw this one away.
22:12It's mine.
22:14He was quiet for a long while,
22:16then looked at me.
22:17Come a little closer.
22:19I took a step.
22:21Closer.
22:23Closer?
22:23Closer.
22:23One more step.
22:24Right beside his chair.
22:26So that is how you get her to come.
22:29If I want to kiss her right now,
22:30does she know that too?
22:32I do.
22:33But the important things you have to say out loud.
22:36He took my hand and pulled me onto his lap,
22:38thumb rubbing slow across my fingers.
22:41Ellida,
22:42may I kiss you?
22:44You may.
22:46Serafina had tried every trick to drive a wedge between Lucian and E,
22:50but we only grew closer.
22:52So she took two vials from the locked medicine cabinet.
22:55The label read,
22:56Crimson Moon,
22:58a banned drug stronger than any aphrodisac.
23:02The next evening,
23:03a maid brought a note signed by Theodore.
23:06My father had sent an old document,
23:08and I should come get it.
23:09I told Lucian I'd be back in ten minutes.
23:12But when I opened the door,
23:14Theodore looked more shocked than I did.
23:16Ellie,
23:17you're okay.
23:18Of course I'm okay.
23:20Didn't you tell me to come get the file?
23:23Didn't you send me a note saying you felt sick,
23:25asking me to come?
23:26We each pulled out our note.
23:28Same paper,
23:29same wax seal,
23:30only the signatures were swapped.
23:33Let's get out first.
23:34He tried the door.
23:35It was locked from the outside.
23:37Someone had locked us in together on purpose.
23:40Before long,
23:41my chest started to burn.
23:42Even my collar brushing my skin felt unbearable.
23:45Theodore changed too.
23:47Sweat on his temples,
23:49veins bulging on his hands,
23:51breathing heavier by the second.
23:52Theodore,
23:53I'm burning up.
23:55What did you drink before you came in?
23:56A maid brought me lemon water.
23:58I drank mine too.
23:59He pushed up his sleeve.
24:01The Crimson Moon mark was on his arm.
24:03I rolled up mine.
24:05Same mark.
24:06Crimson Moon.
24:07What?
24:08An aphrodibiac werewolves used to bond.
24:10It magnifies desire,
24:12scent,
24:13and the urge to mark.
24:15Crimson Moon hits fast.
24:17Theodore ran into the bathroom
24:18and doused himself in cold water.
24:20Even then,
24:21he stayed at the far end of the room.
24:23He yanked off his belt,
24:24grabbed a strap from the foot of the bed,
24:26and tied his wrists to the iron post.
24:28Theodore,
24:29you don't have to.
24:30I do.
24:30I hurt you once when I was 17.
24:33There won't be a second time.
24:35I backed to the window,
24:37putting as much space between us as I could.
24:39But the alpha scent grew thicker.
24:41I knew it was Theodore,
24:42and still my body burned,
24:44dragged along by the drug.
24:45Ten minutes was up long ago.
24:47Lucian,
24:48come find you.
24:49The drug got worse.
24:50I curled up in the corner,
24:52burning hot.
24:53An alpha was right there in front of me.
24:55But all I could think about was Lucian.
24:58Then finally,
24:58someone pounded on the door.
25:00Eleanor!
25:01My throat was too dry to call back.
25:03I knocked a vase off the table.
25:04The second the porcelain shattered,
25:06Lucian broke the lock.
25:08Eleanor!
25:09Wait!
25:11That smell isn't right.
25:12We've both been dosed with Crimson Moon.
25:15Someone locked us in here on purpose.
25:18Butler,
25:19take Theodore to the East Wing.
25:20Send a doctor,
25:21not anyone from the clinic.
25:22The butler untied Theodore from the bedpone.
25:25Theodore's legs were still weak when he stood,
25:27but he looked at me first.
25:28It'll hit her harder before it passes.
25:31Take care of her.
25:32I know.
25:34Theodore nodded and followed the butler out.
25:37Then it was just us.
25:38My hand stayed clenched on his sleeve.
25:40He tried to sit me down steady.
25:42I leaned up his arm instead.
25:44Look at me.
25:45Who am I?
25:47Lucian.
25:48My husband.
25:49The moment his alpha scent got close,
25:51the Crimson Moon found its outlet.
25:53The heat burned hotter than before.
25:55Closer.
25:57Don't tempt me.
25:59You're drugged.
26:00He told me to stay away,
26:01while his arms held me up the whole time.
26:04I tipped my head up and kissed him.
26:06He froze for a second,
26:07then kissed me back.
26:09Don't touch me again,
26:10or I won't be able to stop.
26:12Then don't stop.
26:14I want you
26:15to mark me.
26:17Do you know what you're saying?
26:18Stop testing me.
26:20It made me hot and annoyed.
26:21I pulled him back down.
26:23His words stayed restrained,
26:24but his body was already at its limit.
26:27He kissed me,
26:27fangs grazing my throat again and again,
26:30but he never bit down.
26:31Will you regret this?
26:33Never.
26:34A mate bond lasts a lifetime.
26:36Say one more word and I'll go find Theodore.
26:39That did it.
26:40He yanked me into his arms,
26:41pinned me to the bed,
26:42and kissed me like a man possessed.
26:43No, you have me.
26:45You are mine.
26:46And only mine.
26:47Eleanor, say it again.
26:49Let me mark you.
26:50I held his face.
26:51My eyes were clear now.
26:53Lucian.
26:54Being locked in with Theodore hurt too.
26:57But only with you do I feel desire.
26:59Only with you do I want to be marked.
27:03Lucian, I will only ever choose you.
27:06He couldn't hold back any longer.
27:08His fangs sank into my throat.
27:10Seven years late,
27:11he finally completed the mate mark.
27:14Warmth spread from my throat.
27:15Then something deep inside me slammed hard.
27:18Lucian frowned too.
27:20It was the bond answering back.
27:22Except, I don't have a wolf.
27:24I barely had time to wonder.
27:26Footsteps came down the hall.
27:29Serafina arrived with Elder Arthur
27:30and a few core pack members.
27:32She looked certain of herself.
27:34That woman dared to betray the Alpha.
27:37Elevins wanted Theodore for years.
27:39Lucie neglects her.
27:40Of course she'd find comfort elsewhere.
27:43And with that,
27:44she pushed the door open herself.
27:46Everyone stalled.
27:47Theodore wasn't there at all.
27:49Lucian sat on the edge of the bed.
27:51Me curled against him in his coat.
27:52The fresh mate mark on my throat plain as day.
27:55Serafina's smile died.
27:57You...
27:59You completed the mark?
28:03Where's Theodore?
28:04He's the one who should have marked you!
28:05She said it with too much certainty
28:07and hurt herself.
28:08Her face changed.
28:09Why are you so sure Theodore should be here?
28:12Because I saw them come in together.
28:13I was worried.
28:14Worried about what?
28:15That the drug already made them do something?
28:17Serafina had no answer.
28:19Lucian wrapped his coat tighter around me
28:21and stepped in front of the bed.
28:22Butler, search the clinic.
28:24Start with the drug inventory.
28:26You suspect me?
28:27People come and go here all day.
28:30Anyone could have done it.
28:31Crimson Moon isn't easy to get hold of.
28:33Maybe it's a misunderstanding.
28:35How do you know it was Crimson Moon?
28:37Too late.
28:38Serafina realized she'd been led into it.
28:40She scrambled for an excuse.
28:42I smelled it, obviously.
28:45Smelled it.
28:46I remember Crimson Moon being colorless and odorless.
28:50I...
28:52You brought all these people here
28:54and every word was steering them
28:56to suspect something between Theodore and E.
28:58Serafina, aren't you trying a little too hard?
29:01The butler's people confirmed it fast.
29:03The water Theodore and I drank
29:04had been dosed with Crimson Moon,
29:06but no Crimson Moon turned up in Serafina's clinic.
29:09See?
29:10It couldn't have been me.
29:11Need a reminder?
29:12Last month you signed two vials of Crimson Moon
29:15out of the Council's stores for research.
29:17Where are they?
29:18How would you know that?
29:19That was...
29:19What made you think I wouldn't find out?
29:22Serafina's composure cracked apart.
29:24She stared at the mark on my neck,
29:26jealousness burning brighter.
29:27You did this.
29:28Why?
29:29Because I want Lucen to see
29:31you don't deserve to stand beside him.
29:33I've loved him since I was a child.
29:35I sat through every Wolf Moon with him.
29:37Then you showed up and ruined everything.
29:40Even in those seven years he ignored you.
29:43His eyes always went to you.
29:45You can't do anything.
29:47You can't even shift.
29:49What gives you the right?
29:51Because she's her.
29:52The Luna I chose the moment I first saw her.
29:55Seraflina's face got uglier by the second.
29:58Her eyes were nailed to the mate mark on my throat.
30:00So what if you marked her?
30:02You chose your wife.
30:03But the Luna represents the whole pack.
30:06Eleanor, you're a half-blood who can't even shift.
30:08You don't deserve that seat.
30:10No one deserves it more.
30:11At the core dinner, I'll ask her to be my Luna.
30:14Seraflina's medical privileges were suspended.
30:16At the core dinner two days later,
30:19her case would be heard in the open.
30:21With the Morvain family as guaranteeing,
30:23she had to attend.
30:24Even when the dinner began,
30:26pack members still grumbled.
30:27Why should a woman without a wolf be Luna?
30:30The day I married Edelar,
30:31I knew she was my Luna.
30:33Wolf or no wolf, that doesn't change.
30:35Being a wife and being a Luna are different.
30:37With no wolf, how does she help the Alpha run the pack?
30:40Right.
30:41Eleanor holding the title of lady is one thing.
30:43But Luna, she's not suited.
30:45Who told you my daughter has no wolf?
30:48Father.
30:48My father's voice came from the doorway.
30:51Theodore behind him, back to normal.
30:53He walked up to me and looked at the mate mark on my throat.
30:56Does it still hurt?
30:57Not anymore.
30:59Sure, I was fine.
31:00He turned to the room and held up a silver gray stone.
31:03Eleanor has shifted before.
31:05Why don't I remember any of it?
31:07Because after it,
31:09a fever put you in a coma for two days.
31:11Your wolf was too strong for a three-year-old's body.
31:14The doctor said if it kept waking,
31:16you wouldn't live to grow up.
31:18He placed the stone in my palm.
31:20So your mother and I sealed it.
31:22She wanted you to grow up safe first.
31:24Study, fall in love, live the life you wanted.
31:27And I didn't want any pack using your bloodline to turn you into a bargaining chip.
31:31But the seal's been loosening lately.
31:33You must have noticed something strange.
31:35Then I understood.
31:37Hearing Lucian's thoughts was the sleeping wolf answering the mate it had chosen.
31:41I looked at my palm and felt a power I'd never known tear through me.
31:44Then a thin crack split the seal stone down the middle.
31:47The room went silent.
31:49The crack raced across the stone.
31:51My nails sharpened.
31:53Every scent in the room turned unbearably clear.
31:56Impossible.
31:57She's a half-blood with no wolf.
31:58Serafina's smile vanished.
32:01I looked up.
32:02My eyes were gold.
32:04Twenty-odd years of pressure burst up my spine.
32:07The room dropped away.
32:08Silver-white fur covered my limbs.
32:10For the first time, I saw my wolf.
32:13The wolves nearby stepped back by instinct.
32:16Arthur went pale.
32:17Then led the pack to their knees, voice shaking.
32:20The silver moon wolf.
32:21The oldest bloodline of all.
32:23Lucian felt the pressure too.
32:25He didn't step back once, just looked at me.
32:27So beautiful.
32:28You're thinking about that right now?
32:30Sorry.
32:31Couldn't help it.
32:34Half-blood is half-blood.
32:35I'm the pure one.
32:37The moment she finished, the wolf she was proudest reaction of bowed its head to me first.
32:43No.
32:45How can you overpower me?
32:46The wolf retreated.
32:48I shifted back.
32:49Everyone was still staring.
32:50Lucian was checking me head to top.
32:52Does anything hurt?
32:53No.
32:54Scared me to death.
32:55Beautiful shore.
32:56But next time, could you warn me?
32:58What if you've gotten hurt?
33:00I smiled and took his hand.
33:02Arthur set the lunar document in front of me, his voice still unsteady.
33:06The objection to your lunar title.
33:08I see no reason to discuss it further.
33:10The silver moon bloodline is the oldest there is.
33:13Your lunar seat is the Ashburn Pax honor.
33:17With or without that wolf, there's nothing to do-
33:19I looked at Lucian.
33:20His eyes were overflowing with love and respect.
33:24Then he went down on one knee.
33:27Eleanor, I know the 15 days aren't up, but I don't want to wait anymore.
33:33Will you be my Luna?
33:35No bloodline, no wolf.
33:37None of that matters.
33:39And if I say no?
33:41Then I'll ask tomorrow.
33:42And the day after.
33:44Until you say yes.
33:46Yes.
33:47I will.
33:49What did she say?
33:50Did I hear that right?
33:52You heard right.
33:53The lunar seat, I accept.
33:55I thought everything was settled.
33:57Then Seperfina broke.
33:58How?
33:59It's not fair!
34:00You can't be a silver moon wolf!
34:02I'm the noble one!
34:04Lucian is mine!
34:05Her eyes went gold.
34:06She lunged at me, claws out.
34:09Lucian pulled me clear, and she swung wildly with no control.
34:13Seraphina aimed a killing blow at me.
34:15I only raised a hand.
34:17Her own power turned on her, and slammed her a dozen yards away.
34:22You still don't get it.
34:24I didn't ruin you.
34:25Your own jealousy did.
34:27Take her away.
34:28The council will handle it.
34:30Yes, sir.
34:31After that day, Selaphina was driven off pack lands.
34:34I heard she rounded up rogues to attack the Ashburn pack, got torn apart instead, and vanished.
34:40But that's a story for later.
34:42Whether she lived or died, I never cared.
34:44Ten days later, Lucian and I went to the pack alliance and withdraw the filing.
34:48As I reached for the pen, he caught my hand.
34:51Are you sure?
34:53Once it's withdrawn, you're mine for life.
34:56I'm sure.
34:57My alpha.
35:00Back home, I dug out the divorce papers he'd put away and never touched again.
35:04Creased all over.
35:05No guessing needed.
35:07Lucian had taken them out to read.
35:08Over and over.
35:10But he respected me too much to ever do anything about them.
35:13So I tore them up in front of him.
35:15Clear and quick.
35:16She tore them.
35:17She actually tore them.
35:19Sunlight poured through the window onto him.
35:22The man who walked away on our wedding night seven years ago,
35:25who buried every feeling he had.
35:27Right now, he looked like a kid.
35:28I thought of the day I first heard his thoughts.
35:31Standing on the steps, face cold, heart panicking.
35:35Lucen.
35:37The day I was leaving with my suitcase, what did you say in your head?
35:40Say it again.
35:41Lucian's ears went red.
35:42He opened his mouth.
35:44And for the first time in seven years, that ice-cold face looked lost.
35:48I just watched him.
35:49Didn't push.
35:50Didn't laugh.
35:51He stood, walked over, took my shoulders, and said out loud what he'd only ever dared to think.
35:57Don't go.
35:58Ellerton, I love you.
36:00Tomorrow, the day after, every day after that, I want them all with you.
36:04I rose on my toes and kissed him.
36:08Approved.
36:09The day we saw Theodore off, Lucen held my hand the entire time.
36:13Theodore looked at our hands and smiled.
36:15Guess I'm out of chances.
36:17Theodore, you'll meet someone who truly loves you.
36:20Obviously.
36:22I'm heading back.
36:23Be happy, Ellie.
36:25Two weeks later, Lucen and I went back to Rosenville to stay with my father.
36:29The moment we got out of the car, Lucen took the suitcase from my hand.
36:34I've got it.
36:35Aren't you a guest?
36:37Does a husband count as a guest?
36:39Please, please don't give us two rooms.
36:41If they do, I'll just have to knock on her door at night.
36:44And then what?
36:45I'd hold you and say...
36:48Say what?
36:50I missed you, wife.
36:52He pulled me into his arms and kissed the corner of my mouth.
36:55I laughed so hard, I doubled over.
36:58Can I ask you something?
36:59Mm-hmm.
37:00You're so strong now.
37:02Hardly anyone can hurt you.
37:03So, if I make you mad, will you hit me?
37:06Depends on your behavior.
37:07Great.
37:08So much for being the most feared alpha in the...
37:10All right.
37:10You
