Transcript
00:00My name is Scarlet, my striking figure stirs jealousy in women, and desire in men, making my half-sister Chloe
00:08see me as a constant threat.
00:10Fearing her fated mate Brad would lose control over me, she sent me to Kale Alpha, the powerful pack leader,
00:17now I beg for mercy night after night.
00:19Chloe had lied completely, Kale is fierce and vigorous, nothing like the broken man she'd described.
00:26Gravely wounded in war, Kale was carried home barely breathing. As the sole heir, he was his widowed mother's whole
00:33world.
00:34Desperate, the pack elders suggested the ancient underworld, binding a ritual using a living woman's life force to anchor his
00:41fading soul.
00:42Eager to gain favor with the noble wolf clan, Chloe held my wanderer's contract and forced me to comply.
00:49She threatened to sell me to brutal traffickers if I refused, never forgiving my innocent past with Brad.
00:54I knelt and swore I wanted nothing to do with Brad.
00:58I swear I have absolutely nothing to do with Brad.
01:01But Chloe scoffed.
01:03I don't believe you.
01:04She trusted no man's self-control. She pretended to pity me, boasting this marriage was a rare honor.
01:11I don't want to be a sacrifice. I beg you, let me work in the kitchens.
01:15Before I finished, she struck me twice across the cheeks.
01:19You ungrateful wretch! If it weren't for my endorsement, you wouldn't even have the right to look at the Alpha!
01:26I always wore tight corsets and thick clothes to hide my figure, even through the sweltering summer.
01:34Please!
01:35I begged for mercy.
01:37Just then, the housekeeper rushed inside in panic.
01:41Miss! A messenger from the manor comes! Alpha Kale has woken against all odds!
01:50Chloe dragged me to the Alpha's estate.
01:52Behind the semi-transparent tapestry screen, the pack's iron-fisted Alpha lay weak, his frame barely visible, soft coughs echoing
02:02out.
02:02The former Luna, red-eyed, clutched her hands.
02:05Thank you for helping Kale.
02:08He's out of danger so the under-hell binding isn't needed anymore.
02:12Oh, you've worked hard.
02:14Chloe's eyes darted cunning.
02:16Aunt Mary, the betrothal must go on.
02:20Scarlet's fated aura woked Kale.
02:23Finish the binding bride ritual now, with the moon goddess's blessing.
02:26Hold it, he'll recover fully!
02:28The former Luna hesitated, scanning me, until the pack's head shaman stepped out.
02:32The Queen, the Alpha, speak freely.
02:37He took a poisoned silver arrow in the Holy War.
02:42He can't...
02:44Chloe screamed.
02:45Can't what?
02:47He can never mark a female.
02:49He's lost his ability as a man.
02:52It was a thunderclap.
02:54The Luna's legs gave out, but I caught her.
02:56She begged me.
02:57Will you still marry him?
03:00I'll treat you as my own daughter.
03:04She will!
03:05She goes from a rogue to a full pack member!
03:08Why would she refuse?
03:09I'd once been a free citizen.
03:11My father, the royal physician, died suddenly.
03:14His wife tried to sell us bastard daughters to traffickers.
03:18I went to Brad, the scholar I'd saved.
03:21But he shut me out, throwing me silver to leave.
03:24My stepmother was going to sell me to brothel boats until the Lord Chamberlain's wife bought
03:29my contract, making me a maid.
03:32Later, Brad became Chloe's fiancée, so I hid our past to survive.
03:37I knelt before the Queen.
03:39I will marry Kale, be his binding bride and serve you for life.
03:44The Queen gave me the Empire's most lavish dowry, shocking the pack's council of elders.
03:49Wedding night.
03:50Deep in the castle of the North Territory, the cold northern wind howled outside the
03:55stone walls, the only sound in the silent, empty halls.
03:59Chloe's words echoed in my head.
04:01A man broken in bed can still rule his territory, right?
04:05I'd been nervous the whole ride here, wondering if the rumors were true if the great alpha of
04:10the pack really was broken.
04:11If I'd really spend the rest of my life alone in this cold, remote place.
04:16Kale couldn't stand for the ritual, so the old priest mumbled the wedding words, his hands
04:21shaking as he pressed Alpha Kale's cold ancestral greatsword to our palms, drawing a drop of blood
04:27each to seal the blood over.
04:29That night, I pushed open the bedroom door.
04:33Kale lay half-propped on the bed, his face still pale and gaunt from the poison.
04:38I don't want a wife, he said coolly.
04:41We'll act as mates in public, but siblings in private.
04:45I agreed, relieved he didn't want anything from me.
04:49I remembered what the old maid had told me before I left.
04:53She'd pulled me aside, her eyes darting around to make sure no one saw, slipping me a small
04:58leather-bound secret noble's guidebook saying couples could be intimate other ways.
05:03Even if the man couldn't, I'd blushed so hard back then, I'd stuffed it in my bag and
05:09tried to forget it.
05:11Relieved he was asleep, I took off my heavy hairpins, then my stiff, heavy wedding robe
05:17left only in my thin shift.
05:20For the first time in months, I didn't have to hunch over, didn't have to hide my curves
05:26to keep the other maids from staring or the men from leering.
05:29After years of tight corsets, my figure was finally visible, full and soft.
05:35I turned to wash up, only to lock eyes with Kyle.
05:40He wasn't asleep at all.
05:42His face was flushed, chest heaving, throat bobbing like he was holding something back.
05:48I grabbed my robe to cover myself.
05:51I thought you were asleep.
05:54He spoke, rough and low.
05:58I can stay up a little longer.
06:02In a second, he stood up, his tall, broad frame covering me completely.
06:06My heart hammered, my mind flashing back to that forbidden guidebook.
06:11My breath hitched, matching Kale's ragged gasps without noticing.
06:15The tension was suffocating, until Kale suddenly wrenched the door open.
06:20Freezing northern wind burst in, and by the time I snapped out of it, he was gone into the dark.
06:26I clutched my robe, sitting on the bed edge.
06:30All I could think of was his shocked eyes had my curves scared this chaste alpha.
06:35Shame washed over me.
06:37I vowed to lace my corset tighter tomorrow, to hide my body so he'd never look at me like that
06:43again.
06:44Some time in the night, the door creaked.
06:48Kale slipped back in.
06:50In moonlight, I saw cold water dripping from his wet hair he'd taken a cold bath outside.
06:57By dawn, he was gone.
06:58When Elena brought in the washbasin, I heard it.
07:02The steady alpha, holding back sneezes.
07:04The old housekeeper fretted.
07:07My alpha!
07:08Why cold bath water?
07:09The night wind's freezing!
07:11You caught a cold!
07:13I'll make your warming broth and tonic right now!
07:16My heart hammered, my mind flashing back to that forbidden guidebook.
07:21My breath hitched, matching Kale's ragged gasps without noticing.
07:25The tension was suffocating, until Kale suddenly wrenched the door open.
07:30Freezing northern wind burst in, and by the time I snapped out of it,
07:34he was gone into the dark.
07:36I clutched my robe, sitting on the bed edge.
07:39All I could think of was his shocked eyes had my curves scared this chaste alpha.
07:45Shame washed over me.
07:47I vowed to lace my corset tighter tomorrow,
07:50to hide my body so he'd never look at me like that again.
07:54Some time in the night, the door creaked.
07:58Kale slipped back in.
07:59In moonlight, I saw cold water dripping from his wet hair he'd taken a cold bath outside.
08:06By dawn, he was gone.
08:08When Elena brought in the wash basin, I heard it.
08:11The steady alpha, holding back sneezes.
08:14The old housekeeper fretted.
08:16My alpha!
08:17Why cold bath water?
08:19The night wind's freezing!
08:21You caught a cold!
08:22I'll make your warming broth and tonic right now!
08:25I looked up at my maid Elena, and asked tentatively,
08:29Does the alpha always take cold baths?
08:32I do not know, Luna.
08:34She bowed respectfully.
08:35I waved her away, locked the heavy oak door.
08:39Before the bronze mirror, I bit my lip,
08:42lacing my stiff leather corset tighter,
08:44until my chest ached so bad I could barely breathe.
08:48Noble ladies valued pale, fragile beauty these days,
08:51but I was born full and curvy.
08:54It made sense the alpha wouldn't like that.
08:56I took a deep breath to steady myself.
08:59That morning, the former Luna had invited me to help go over the spring accounts from the territory.
09:04When I stepped into the withdrawing room,
09:07Alpha Kale was already sitting beside her, pale as a sheet.
09:10The Luna's face softened when she saw me,
09:13but when she heard Kale's suppressed cough,
09:15she told him to go rest first.
09:17As he stood, his cold eyes lingered on my tight corset for half a second,
09:22then he turned and walked slowly away,
09:24wrapped in his black fox fur cloak.
09:27The Luna pulled me close, squeezing my cold hair.
09:29My child, you're a blessing to our pack.
09:33That poisoned silver arrow wounded his wolf's core,
09:37left him unable to desire an heir.
09:40It is such a wrong to make you marry him as a maiden.
09:45She sighed, full of sorrow.
09:47The healer said he doesn't have long.
09:50The pack elders kept badgering me to adopt an heir, but I refused.
09:54I won't trap you here, wasting the life you deserve,
09:58playing mother to a stranger's child.
10:00That you would marry him to bear his curse, I am grateful.
10:05I will not chain you here for life.
10:08The former Luna squeezed my hand.
10:10I have a plan for you.
10:12If Alpha Kale can't hold on, I'll sign the church's letter of release,
10:16so you can leave any time.
10:18I'll give you two of our pack's manners,
10:20a perpetual anity, so you'll never want for anything again.
10:24I wiped her tears.
10:26Mother, thank you.
10:28I looked down, my heart reeling.
10:31I thought I was just coming to work as a maid,
10:34a hollow title to survive.
10:36I never thought this former Luna would think this far for me.
10:40She smiled through tears.
10:42Don't be formal.
10:44You and Kale sealed the blood oath.
10:46Call me mother, too.
10:48I have one more thing to ask.
10:50Her eyes held a plea.
10:52Chloe said you know herbs.
10:54Could you take care of Alpha Kale?
10:58I just want him to stay a little longer.
11:00This is my only wish as his mother.
11:02Her voice thickened.
11:04I looked at her and nodded firmly.
11:06I turned, hurrying to the cellar kitchen
11:09to prep the herbs for the healing elixir.
11:11The last time I'd done this for someone,
11:14it was years ago,
11:15before Brad became Chloe's betrothed.
11:18Back then, Brad was orphaned,
11:20alone in the lower town slums.
11:22To pay for the Royal Academy exams,
11:24he ate only one black bread a day,
11:27until he collapsed at our manor's back gate.
11:29I saved him,
11:31dug through my father's old texts,
11:33made him warm herbal honey tonic daily
11:35to fix his ruined stomach.
11:36That secret was only ours.
11:39Once, now I got it.
11:41He told Chloe all of it,
11:42to win her favor,
11:43just to get me thrown out of the Earl's house,
11:46to make me disappear.
11:48I shook off the thought,
11:49brought the hot stew and soup to the main bedroom,
11:52but Alpha Kale was there,
11:53barking orders to servants
11:55to pack his things and his sword.
11:57My Alpha,
11:59what are you doing?
12:00We agreed I'd move to the guest room tomorrow.
12:02I stared.
12:03I move.
12:05My things are few.
12:06I set the silver tray on the stone table.
12:11Eat first, then pack.
12:13He glanced at the food,
12:14sat down.
12:15Leave this work to servants.
12:17I can do it just as well.
12:19I shot back,
12:21stubborn.
12:22No.
12:23Send the tonic meals with Elena from now on.
12:27He said.
12:27He drained the warm tonic,
12:29ordered his servants around,
12:31then swept past me,
12:32cold,
12:33not glancing my way.
12:34I knew it.
12:35Alpha wanted nothing to do with me.
12:38So I did as he said,
12:39sending the herbal tonic
12:41to his study with Elena every day.
12:43That afternoon,
12:44going over accounts with the former Luna,
12:46she gushed.
12:47The healer said,
12:49Kale's wolf's core is steady now.
12:51This is all you're doing.
12:53She gave me a bracelet as a reward.
12:55Back in my room,
12:57I tucked it into my jewelry box,
12:59full of the Luna's gifts.
13:01Elena asked,
13:02You never wear these.
13:03Isn't locking them down a shame?
13:06Not at all.
13:07I smiled.
13:09I can trade them for gold.
13:11They're my freedom fund.
13:13For when I leave.
13:15These are the pack's hair loams.
13:17You'd sell them?
13:19Not yet.
13:20I said calm.
13:21But if Alpha can't hold on,
13:23or the church approves the letter of release,
13:26I'll cash them in.
13:28Go somewhere no one knows me,
13:30live in peace.
13:31Elena froze,
13:32then dropped to her knees,
13:33trembling.
13:34Alpha!
13:36I jumped,
13:37spun around,
13:38locked eyes with Kale's furious,
13:40dark eyes.
13:41I cursed.
13:42The former Luna had it wrong,
13:45saying he was weak.
13:46This Alpha radiated terrifying pressure,
13:48like he'd tear me,
13:49the rogue bride planning to run,
13:51to pieces any second.
13:53I tucked it into my jewelry box,
13:55full of the Luna's gifts.
13:57Elena asked,
13:58You never wear these.
13:59Isn't locking them down a shame?
14:02Not at all.
14:03I smiled.
14:05I can trade them for gold.
14:07They're my freedom fund.
14:09For when I leave.
14:10These are the pack's hair loams.
14:12You'd sell them?
14:14Not yet.
14:16I said calm.
14:17But if Alpha can't hold on,
14:19or the church approves the letter of release,
14:22I'll cash them in.
14:24Go somewhere no one knows me,
14:26live in peace.
14:27Elena froze,
14:28then dropped to her knees,
14:29trembling.
14:30Alpha!
14:32I jumped,
14:33spun around,
14:34locked eyes with Kale's furious dark eyes.
14:37I cursed.
14:38The former Luna had it wrong,
14:40saying he was weak.
14:42This Alpha radiated terrifying pressure,
14:44like he'd tear me,
14:45the rogue bride planning to run,
14:47to pieces any second.
14:48Kale's face was pale,
14:50his dark eyes locked on me,
14:51cold.
14:51I forced myself to stay calm.
14:53My Lord Alpha,
14:54you came back.
14:56Is there something urgent?
14:58Looking for something I left here.
15:00He stepped closer.
15:02I tried to step back,
15:03only to find Elena had slipped out,
15:05closing the door.
15:06The room went quiet.
15:08Only the fires crackle.
15:10A night's journal.
15:11He stopped,
15:13towering over me.
15:14Do you remember where?
15:16No.
15:16I rummaged through the old cabinets,
15:19trying to break the silence.
15:20Soon I spotted the old leather journal,
15:23tucked in the top shelf corner.
15:25Found it.
15:25I stood on tiptoe to reach it.
15:27My fingers touched the leather,
15:29his big hand covered mine.
15:31My skin burned where he touched me.
15:33I froze.
15:34I panicked,
15:36trying to pull away.
15:37I slipped,
15:38fell right into his chest.
15:39I'd taken off my corset,
15:41my soft curves pressed to his burning chest,
15:44his wild primal musk wrapping around me.
15:47I'm sorry.
15:48I scrambled to get up,
15:49but he froze,
15:50his chest heaved hard,
15:52his pale face flushed bright red.
15:54I shoved the leather journal into his hands,
15:56panicking.
15:57My Lord Alpha,
15:57your journal.
15:58He snatched it away,
16:00didn't spare me a word or a glance,
16:02then turned stiffly and hurried out,
16:04his steps unsteady.
16:06I sighed,
16:08defeated.
16:08I'd only made things worse for myself.
16:11After that,
16:12I avoided KL as much as I could,
16:14not wanting to upset him with my curves.
16:18But peace didn't last.
16:20Brad,
16:21that ungrateful wretch,
16:22kept sending me notes.
16:24I locked them all away,
16:26unread.
16:27Today,
16:28Elena rambling,
16:29how...
16:29My Luna,
16:30he's here,
16:31at the side gate.
16:32He won't leave the North Territory until he sees you.
16:34I shook with rage,
16:36storming out.
16:37I spotted a tall,
16:38fur-cloaked figure in the shadows,
16:39but I was too angry to care.
16:41I shoved the door open.
16:44There Brad was,
16:45in his squire's uniform,
16:46with that fake,
16:47soft look.
16:48His eyes lit up,
16:50raking over me greedily.
16:52Scarlet,
16:53you finally came.
16:55Watch your tongue,
16:56Chloe's fiancé.
16:58On North Territory,
16:59you will address me
17:01as the Pax Luna.
17:04Our Luna.
17:06You meeting me in secret,
17:07are you trying to ruin me?
17:08I laughed,
17:09angry,
17:10but he cut me off.
17:11But...
17:12But I have good news!
17:14I'm getting promoted!
17:16The King will name me a hereditary on a knight soon!
17:18By then I won't need to rely on Chloe's proud father.
17:23Scarlet,
17:24come with me.
17:27I'll buy a lavish manor,
17:29far better than that dying,
17:31broken man in the castle.
17:33Brad reached for me,
17:34his eyes blazing with greed,
17:36swallowing hard.
17:38I stepped back in disgust,
17:40scoffing.
17:40You want me as your secret lover?
17:42He nodded,
17:43completely unashamed.
17:45I laughed.
17:46Why would I give up being the Pax respected Luna
17:49of the North Territory,
17:51just to be your dirty little secret?
17:53Everyone knows Alpha Kale's half dead!
17:56That poisoned silver arrow
17:58broke his wolf's core.
18:00He can't even mark a female.
18:03He can't touch you.
18:04You're wasting that perfect body!
18:08Nazia washed over me.
18:10I saved your life!
18:12When I had nowhere to go,
18:14you threw silver coins at me
18:15to chase me away.
18:17Now you play this act
18:18to ease your guilt!
18:20Give me time!
18:22I'll convince Chloe
18:23to take you as my mistress!
18:25I will never be your secret.
18:28Stop harassing me!
18:30My mate is the Pax Alpha,
18:33a war hero of the realm,
18:35honored by all.
18:36If he hears this,
18:38do you think your new night standing
18:39will survive?
18:40The words hit Brad right where it hurt
18:42his reputation and station
18:43were all he cared about.
18:44The second I finished,
18:45his face drained of color,
18:47going pale.
18:48He stepped back, snarling.
18:50You choose that dying,
18:51broken man over me!
18:52My mate is the war hero
18:54who defended this North Territory.
18:56His scars are his honor.
18:58You live in the peace he won.
19:01You have no right to insult him.
19:03He's a real man,
19:05unlike you.
19:06Your heart's rotten to the core!
19:08I slammed the stone door shut,
19:10cutting him off.
19:11But when I turned,
19:13I froze.
19:14Alpha Kale stood half a foot away
19:16in a dark tailored robe,
19:18his tall frame looming over me.
19:20Lord Alpha.
19:22I looked away, guilty.
19:24You were calling me husband just now?
19:26Well, why so distant now?
19:29My heart skipped.
19:31I babbled.
19:33I'll do my duty as your Luna,
19:35loyal to you and the pack.
19:38I'll go make your healing tonic.
19:40I tried to hurry past,
19:42but as our shoulders brushed,
19:43his big hand grabbed my arm.
19:45I stumbled, yelping,
19:47and fell right into his broad, cold chest.
19:50My face pressed against Alpha's chest,
19:52and I met his dark, stormy eyes.
19:54We were too close,
19:56his pine scent washed over me,
19:58mixed with his primal wolf musk.
20:00My heart raced so fast it hurt,
20:03my face burning hot enough to scald.
20:06His Adam's apple bobbed hard.
20:08He stared at me, growling.
20:10What did you mean,
20:11as long as I'm here?
20:13Are you counting the days?
20:15Waiting to run away from me?
20:18Cold sweat broke out on my back.
20:20No, no, you're hurting me.
20:22The rage in his eyes faded.
20:25His voice went rough, low.
20:27What you said to Brad,
20:28was it true?
20:30Am I a real man to you?
20:32He stared at me for a long moment,
20:35then sighed, letting go.
20:36I fled to my room,
20:38and as I shut the door,
20:39I saw at his usually pale face,
20:41his ears were bright red.
20:42That night I had a wild forbidden dream,
20:45of him kissing me,
20:46possessive, wild,
20:48his hands on my skin.
20:49I woke up sweating,
20:51heart racing in the quiet dark,
20:53gods.
20:54I'd fallen for the broken alpha everyone pitied,
20:57shame washing over me.
20:59At dawn,
21:00Elena knocked softly.
21:01I woke from the dream,
21:03breathless,
21:04and told her to fetch cold well water.
21:06She stared at my sweat sticky hair,
21:09confused.
21:10Odd,
21:11the north's mornings are still cold.
21:13Why is your room so hot?
21:14I didn't answer,
21:16splashing cold water on my face.
21:18Then I remembered,
21:20our wedding night,
21:21Alpha ran out to take a cold bath.
21:23Did,
21:24did he feel the same primal urge back then?
21:27I shook my head,
21:28killing the thought.
21:30The shaman said the poison silver arrow
21:32broke his wolf's core.
21:33He should have no urges at all.
21:35At noon,
21:36the former Luna's steward came,
21:38my Luna,
21:39the queen has a feast in the garden.
21:41She asks you to come.
21:43I'd been avoiding Alpha,
21:45skipping dinners,
21:45but I couldn't refuse this.
21:47At dusk,
21:49I walked in.
21:49The blood roses bloomed wild,
21:52like fire,
21:53petals falling on the table.
21:55I froze,
21:56my eyes wide.
21:57It was all my favorite southern dishes.
22:00The former Luna smiled.
22:02Come sit.
22:04Kale said today is your birthday.
22:07He had the cooks prepare these for you.
22:09Half a one could go.
22:17I looked up,
22:18and met Alpha's burning dark wolf eyes.
22:21My face burned hot.
22:23He stood there,
22:24his cold face still,
22:25but set the nut tart right in front of me.
22:27I whispered,
22:29Lord Alpha,
22:30how did you know it's my birthday?
22:33I'd almost forgotten.
22:36No one in the Earl's house had ever remembered
22:39for a bastard like me.
22:41He looked down.
22:42The church's betrothal contract.
22:45It has your birth date.
22:48My heart skipped
22:50for no reason.
22:52The former Luna smiled.
22:54This hundred-year honey mean
22:56is Kyle's favorite treasure.
22:58He opened it for you.
23:00We old folks will leave you two to talk.
23:02As she left,
23:02the air froze,
23:03only the roses rustling in the wind.
23:06Embarrassed,
23:07I drank the sweet mead,
23:08glass after glass.
23:09It hit hard,
23:10and soon I was drunk.
23:11I mumbled.
23:13Lord Alpha,
23:15where's the last nut tart?
23:18His Adam's apple rolled hard,
23:19his eyes darkening.
23:21He growled low.
23:22I ate it.
23:23The alcohol burned all my sense away.
23:25I leaned forward,
23:27pressing close to his perfect face.
23:29Too close.
23:30I was drunk.
23:31Who let you eat that?
23:33It's mine!
23:34Spit it out!
23:35Alpha froze.
23:36Then a faint,
23:38wild smile crossed his eyes.
23:40Come find it yourself.
23:41I leaned close,
23:43staring dumbly into his mouth.
23:45He laughed,
23:46his chest shaking.
23:48Fool,
23:48you won't find it that way.
23:50I looked up,
23:50asking how.
23:52Try.
23:53He growled low.
23:54Find it with your mouth.
23:56I kissed him.
23:57He froze,
23:59then lost control.
24:00It hit hard,
24:01and soon I was drunk.
24:02I mumbled.
24:04Lord Alpha,
24:06where's the last nut's heart?
24:09His Adam's apple rolled hard,
24:10his eyes darkening.
24:11He growled low.
24:13I ate it.
24:14The alcohol burned all my sense away.
24:16I leaned forward,
24:18pressing close to his perfect face.
24:20Too close.
24:21I was drunk.
24:22Who let you eat that?
24:24It's mine!
24:25Spit it out!
24:26Alpha froze.
24:27Then a faint,
24:29wild smile crossed his eyes.
24:30Come find it yourself.
24:32I leaned close,
24:34staring dumbly into his mouth.
24:36He laughed,
24:37his chest shaking.
24:38Fool,
24:39you won't find it that way.
24:40I looked up,
24:41asking how.
24:43Try.
24:44He growled low.
24:45Find it with your mouth.
24:46I kissed him.
24:48He froze,
24:49then lost control,
24:51grabbing the back of my head,
24:53kissing me back,
24:54possessive,
24:55wild,
24:56rose petals scattered across the stone table.
24:59A steward's footsteps came.
25:01I panicked,
25:02tried to run,
25:03but the mead hit me.
25:04I fell.
25:05He caught me.
25:06Next morning I woke,
25:08head throbbing,
25:09sun filling the gothic window.
25:10I remembered.
25:11I was supposed to go to the Lion Mountain Abbey
25:14with former Luna today.
25:15I scrambled to get ready.
25:17Elena came in,
25:19smiling.
25:20My Luna,
25:21don't rush.
25:22The grooms are still harnessing the warhorses.
25:24We have time.
25:25I rubbed my head,
25:27whispering.
25:28Elena,
25:29did you help me back last night?
25:31She blinked.
25:33No.
25:34Alpha carried you back himself,
25:36princess style.
25:37My heart skipped.
25:38I panicked.
25:39Did I,
25:40say anything stupid?
25:42She giggled.
25:44You grabbed his sleeve,
25:45wouldn't let go,
25:46called him husband.
25:48It made Id his ears turn bright red.
25:51My face burned,
25:52shame washing over me.
25:54Then,
25:55I got in the carriage,
25:56my mind full of the rose kiss.
25:59Former Luna thought I was upset.
26:01She asked if I already had someone else I loved.
26:04Former Luna held my hand,
26:05soft.
26:06Even if you two can't be a true mated pair,
26:09you can at least be companions in the cold castle.
26:13If you feel wronged on North Territory,
26:15just tell me.
26:18I'll force Kale to sign the letter of release for you.
26:20I won't waste your life.
26:22I rushed to explain.
26:24No,
26:24it's not that.
26:24I was just thinking of something else.
26:26I was about to tell her about the kiss.
26:28When the carriage suddenly shook violently,
26:30the horses went wild.
26:32The groom was thrown off.
26:33The carriage raced straight for the cliff.
26:35Former Luna cried in terror.
26:37I gritted my teeth.
26:38I saw the deadly drop ahead.
26:41I yelled for her to hold me tight.
26:43And right as the carriage fell into the abyss,
26:46we jumped.
26:47Luckily,
26:47I'd climbed mountains with my father.
26:49I was fast.
26:51I grabbed a pine branch on the cliff.
26:53And with my other hand,
26:54I held her,
26:55dangling over the void.
26:57Luna Mary hung over the endless abyss.
26:59I gritted my teeth,
27:01blood running down the stone from my right hand,
27:03yelling for her not to look down the retinue would come soon.
27:06But the pine branch cracked,
27:09ready to snap.
27:10She cried.
27:11Let go!
27:13I've lived long enough!
27:16I sobbed.
27:17I'd rather die with her than let go.
27:19But I was already failing.
27:21My arm snung.
27:23Then,
27:23Wolf Howells tore through the air.
27:25Kale's voice came the first time he'd called my name.
27:28Hey!
27:30Scarlet!
27:31Don't move!
27:33Hold on!
27:34I'm coming!
