Short filmTranscript
00:00The man who came back was not my brother-in-law.
00:02It was my husband, Kaylin.
00:04I believed every word.
00:05Until Kaylin had me executed, on charges of conspiring with the demon clan.
00:09Watching him hold my sister close, I finally understood.
00:12Every last thing had been his design.
00:14When I opened my eyes again, I was back.
00:16The day the dragon court celebrated their great victory, that my husband had fallen in battle.
00:20By the laws of our house, when a spouse falls in battle, the surviving partner must remain in mourning for
00:26a hundred years.
00:27I choose the second path.
00:28I'll remarry.
00:30Silence.
00:31The entire hall went motionless.
00:32After the war between dragon court and green faction, my sister's husband returned safely while mine fell in battle.
00:38Everyone pitied me.
00:39But I knew the truth.
00:41The man who came back was not my brother-in-law.
00:43It was my husband, Kaylin.
00:45He and Lucian were twin brothers, near equal in power.
00:48No one suspected a thing.
00:49Kaylin pulled me aside to explain.
00:52Lyra, I did this for the greater good.
00:54Lucian is the crown prince of the dragon court.
00:56If the clan hears the crown prince died in battle, chaos follows.
01:00Your sister is gentle.
01:02She cannot bear that loss.
01:04I am only keeping watch over her.
01:07Once things have settled, I will return to your side.
01:10I believed every word.
01:12Until Kaylin had me executed, on charges of conspiring with the demon clan.
01:16Watching him hold my sister close, I finally understood.
01:18Every last thing had been his design.
01:21When I opened my eyes again, I was back.
01:22The day the dragon court celebrated their great victory.
01:25The day the news arrived that my husband had fallen in battle, Kaylin stood with my sister,
01:30holding her in silence while the clan cast pitying glances my way.
01:34Without a moment's hesitation, I chose to remarry.
01:37Kaylin thought taking the crown prince's place meant power.
01:40He had no idea.
01:42Walking away from me meant losing his only path to the throne.
01:45Lyra, Selen is... he's gone.
01:49It was the dragon king who spoke.
01:51He had two sons.
01:52One had become crown prince and had taken my sister as his princess.
01:55The other was my husband, Kaylin.
01:57He sat on the throne, staring at his brother's coffin.
01:59Grief painted perfectly across his face.
02:01Before I could speak, my sister's voice cut through the silence.
02:04Her voice is soft, but performative.
02:06Little sister, I know how much pain you're in.
02:10She looked down at me, eyes full of practice sorrow.
02:13It's alright to cry.
02:14I lifted my gaze, not to her, but to the man at her side.
02:17My husband, wearing his dead brother's name.
02:19Kaylin's fingers interlaced with my sister's.
02:21He felt my stare, turned his head.
02:23Something flickered across his face that looked almost like shock.
02:26I nearly laughed.
02:27Kaylin's performance was as flawless as ever.
02:29Last life, it took me months to believe the man beside my sister was really him.
02:33This time I already knew.
02:34A whale split the air.
02:36The dragon queen threw herself across the coffin, tears streaking her face.
02:40My son!
02:42Then she spun and pointed at me.
02:44It's you!
02:45You cursed him!
02:46You killed my boy!
02:47She never wanted me for her son.
02:49I had once brought my doubts to Kaylin, and he had sworn to me with absolute certainty.
02:53No matter what, I will always take your side.
02:56His mother slapped me without warning.
02:57Her palm cracked across my cheek so hard the hall went still.
03:00She raised her hand again.
03:02The dragon king barked at his guards to intervene.
03:04Enough!
03:06The hall erupted into chaos.
03:09Through all of it, Kaylin stood quietly at my sister's side, holding her hand.
03:13He reached into his coat and produced a small, glimmering stone.
03:16A water spirit stone, pale blue, luminous.
03:18He held it out to my sister like an offering.
03:21He murmured, low and tender.
03:24Sarah.
03:25I brought this back for you.
03:27I smiled without warmth.
03:28I had always wanted a water spirit stone.
03:31In my last life, I had asked Kaylin for one, begged him.
03:34Every time he left for war, he always said yes, but I never received it.
03:38Now I understood.
03:39He had in short hand forgotten to look.
03:41He had simply never intended to give it to me.
03:43My sister noticed me watching.
03:45Her expression cooled.
03:46She stepped slightly in front of Kaylin, shielding him.
03:48She said,
03:49Why do you keep staring at my husband?
03:51The dragon king exhaled slowly.
03:54Laia, by the laws of our house, when a spouse falls in battle,
03:58the surviving partner must remain in mourning for a hundred years.
04:01I won't force you, but I need to know.
04:05What will you do?
04:06I shook my head.
04:07I choose the second path.
04:08I'll remarry.
04:10Silence.
04:11The entire hall went motionless.
04:14Kaylin spoke first.
04:16Absurd!
04:17His voice was tight.
04:18Lyra, you can't marry someone else.
04:21The dragon king and my sister exchanged a glance, both suddenly alert.
04:28The man who came back was not my brother-in-law.
04:31It was my husband, Kaylin.
04:32I believed every word.
04:34Until Kaylin had me executed, on charges of conspiring with the demon clan.

17:34I'll remarry.
17:36Silence.
17:37The entire hall went motionless.
17:40Kaylin spoke first.
17:42Absurd!
17:43His voice was tight.
17:43Lyra, you can't marry someone else.
17:46The dragon king and my sister exchanged a glance, both suddenly alert.
17:52On my wedding day, I waited hours for my fiancée.
17:54All I got was a bulldog in a suit.
17:56My fiancée, Damien, had the dog on a leash in one hand.
17:58Teresa just had one.
17:59Raise him right, and I'll come back to marry you.
18:01The second Damien left, I decided to marry Constantine.
18:04The streets gave me a new name, the Black Mamba.
18:06Today I took my son, Lucien, to our casino.
18:09Of course he's brilliant.
18:10He's my son.
18:11She's poisoning our boy!
18:12Damien kicked me square in the back and stomped the inhaler into dust.
18:15I'm nobody's dirty secret.
18:17Marry the dog.
18:19I got a mission in Miami.
18:21Wedding's off.
18:21On my wedding day, I waited hours for my fiancée.
18:24All I got was a bulldog in a suit.
18:25My fiancée, Damien, had the dog on a leash in one hand.
18:27A cross-eyed baby boy with a twisted mouth in the other.
18:31You always said you wanted a child with me.
18:32Well, Teresa just had one.
18:34She's coming with me.
18:35No time to raise a kid.
18:37So here, consider it practice.
18:38Miami is volatile right now.
18:39I don't know when I'll be back.
18:41But I promise you, raise him right and I'll come back to marry you.
18:45He grabbed Teresa's waist and drove off.
18:47But what he didn't know.
18:48Constantine, the Don of the Vitti family, had always seen me differently.
18:51The second Damien left, I decided to marry Constantine.
18:54I became the Vitti family's Donna and Consiglier.
18:56For five years, Constantine handled expansion and kept order.
18:59I rooted out the rats and gathered intel.
19:01The streets gave me a new name, the Black Mamba.
19:03Beautiful.
19:03Deadly.
19:04One strike was all it took.
19:05Today I took my son, Lucien, to our casino.
19:07Lucien simply stood by the tables, casually rattling off a string of odds.
19:11In an instant, he helped a desperate gambler win back every lost chip.
19:14The crowd gasped.
19:15That kid's a reincarnated prodigy!
19:17An arrogant voice cut through.
19:18Of course he's brilliant.
19:19He's my son.
19:20Damien stood there with whiskey in hand.
19:22Teresa, still striking after all these years, on his arm.
19:25Good job, Claire.
19:26I lied to you back then.
19:27This child is mine and Teresa's.
19:29Look at him.
19:29A boy this smart obviously takes after me.
19:31But I'll admit it, you did a decent job raising him.
19:33I'll keep my promise.
19:35But Teresa gave me five years and a brilliant heir.
19:37I already promised Teresa the wife's place.
19:40You can be my mistress.
19:41I shoved Lucien toward the VIP lounge, finally glancing up at him.
19:44Save it, Damien.
19:45I'm the Donna of the VT family.
19:47I'm nobody's dirty secret.
19:49Damien frowned.
19:50I haven't even taken over as Don yet.
19:52We aren't married.
19:52Who calls you the Donna?
19:53Watch your mouth.
19:54I won't have my men saying I don't know how to discipline a woman.
19:56I scoffed.
19:57You?
19:58The Don?
19:59Relying on Teresa?
20:00She's just your nominal adoptive sister.
20:03Don't make me laugh.
20:04She's not even allowed in the inner circle.
20:06Damien's face darkened.
20:07I looked right past him to my driver.
20:08Take Lucien to the estate.
20:10Nobody moves!
20:11He grabbed my wrist.
20:12Claire, I know you like children.
20:13Especially a boy as smart as my son.
20:15And in the past five years, you've made plenty off him in this casino.
20:18But now we're back.
20:20It's time you gave him back to Teresa.
20:21I snapped.
20:22Don't be ridiculous!
20:23Damien froze as I moved to tell the truth.
20:25It's not poison!
20:27It's asthma!
20:28Give him the medicine!
20:28You think I'm stupid?
20:30I know asthma.
20:31That's poison!
20:32I stared at the crushed inhaler on the floor.
20:34My eyes widened.
20:35I went pale.
20:35Frisk her!
20:36Find the antidote!
20:37Stop!
20:38Not a single one of you is qualified to touch me!
20:40I whipped out a handgun, pressing it to Damien's head.
20:43Back off.
20:44Or I'll turn New York into a bloodbath.
20:46Dead silence.
20:47The guards froze in their tracks.
20:48I swallowed my teeth.
20:52I was a human stranded here five years ago.
20:55He only agreed because of the 100% compatibility claim.
20:58For dragons, soul bond is everything.
21:0180% meant nothing.
21:02When he learned the truth, will he burn me to ashes?
21:05That explained why Caelan was always so cold.
21:07Underneath me, Caelan frowned.
21:09His golden pupils flared with dragon heat.
21:11Are we doing this or not?
21:12I have matters to attend to.
21:14I quickly put on my coat and stepped aside.
21:16Let's not.
21:17You go ahead.
21:18Caelan's brow tightened.
21:19Are you sure?
21:20Absolutely sure.
21:21He studied me.
21:21He put on his military uniform.
21:23Gold braid glinted against his heated skin.
21:25As soon as he left, I dialed the Covenant.
21:28What is going on?
21:29We apologize, Miss Lyra.
21:30Database upgrade revealed a matching aura.
21:32Commander Caelan is not your true soulmate.
21:34We've been married?
21:36We're married for two years!
21:37And you're only telling me now?
21:39We're sorry.
21:39He still has an 80% compatibility with you.
21:42Theoretically, your marriage shouldn't be affected.
21:44You said theoretically.
21:45What about in reality?
21:47The staffer fell silent.
21:48In reality, your 100% match is someone else.
21:52Who?
21:53We're retrieving the selected fire.
21:55I paced the room.
21:56The floorboards groaned under a strange, lingering heat.
21:59Has Caelan been notified?
22:01Not yet.
22:02He blocked us.
22:03Yeah.
22:03Caelan loathed for assigning him a human wife.
22:06Don't tell him yet.
22:08I'll handle it.
22:09We are counting on you, Lyra.
22:10This was a dragon-ruled kingdom.
22:12Caelan was its all-powerful High Commander.
22:14I was a human stranded here five years ago, barely surviving.
22:18When the Bureau found me, I agreed to the match at once.
22:20I wanted his connections to go home.
22:22But Caelan didn't want me.
22:24Human-Dragon marriages were rare.
22:26He only agreed because of the 100% compatibility claim.
22:29The truth came out.
22:30Caelan could never love me.
22:32For dragons, soul bond is everything.
22:3480% meant nothing.
22:36Only 100% could open his heart.
22:38I thought back to two years.
22:40A chill struck me.
22:41When he learns the truth, will he burn me to ashes?

32:10When he learns the truth, will he burn me to ashes?
32:12My boyfriend kissed a freshman named Sierra in front of everyone.
32:15I broke up with him on the spot.
32:17Earlier that evening, Sierra's dare read, kiss any guy in the room for three minutes.
32:21The next second, her eyes landed directly on Sean.
32:24Walk out that door with me right now.
32:25Our eyes met.
32:26He moved my hand off his sleeve.
32:28You know I can't.
32:29Not right now.
32:30Flynn had drawn the most loaded dare in the deck.
32:32Take anyone here home for the night.
32:33He raised his eyes and looked straight at me.
32:36She's too conservative.
32:37She won't say yes.
32:38So I said yes.
32:39Okay.
32:40Sean's smile froze on his face.
32:41My boyfriend kissed a freshman named Sierra in front of everyone.
32:45I broke up with him on the spot.
32:47Don't be such a buzz deal.
32:48If you kiss someone on a dare, I wouldn't even blink.
32:50He laughed it off.
32:52Sean had me figured out.
32:53The good girl never does anything reckless.
32:55But when then, the next round came, Sean's best friend Flynn, the school's golden boy,
33:00drew the same pile.
33:01His dare, take someone home for the night.
33:03He stood up slowly.
33:06Want to spend the night with me?
33:08I placed my hand in his.
33:10Yes.
33:10Sean called my phone until it died.
33:12Earlier that evening, Sierra's dare read, kiss any guy in the room for three minutes.
33:16The next second, her eyes landed directly on Sean.
33:19Everyone followed her gaze.
33:21Sean just looked down, acting like he couldn't feel the heat of her stare.
33:24Sierra turned to me, voice small and rehearsed.
33:27Ava, can I borrow Sean for three minutes?
33:30The room went silent.
33:31Everyone held their breath, watching.
33:32I genuinely didn't understand.
33:34There are plenty of single guys here.
33:36Why ask him?
33:37She couldn't answer.
33:38She bit her lip, looked embarrassed.
33:40But she moved to the other end of the booth anyway.
33:42Asked the first guy, rejected.
33:44The second, rejected.
33:45The third.
33:46Sure.
33:47His smile was muddy.
33:48With tongue?
33:49The guy had drunk too much.
33:51Sierra looked like she was about to cry.
33:53No, no, that's fine.
33:55You don't have to-
33:55He grabbed her wrist anyway.
33:56Leaned in.
33:57The hand that had been lazily holding mine finally let go.
34:01Sean stood, yanked Sierra back by the arm, looked at the guy with a cold smile.
34:05You get off on cornering, girls?
34:06Sierra gripped Sean's hand, looked up at him like he was the only solid thing in the room.
34:11I grabbed his sleeve at the same moment.
34:13Sean turned back to me.
34:14I didn't make a scene.
34:16I kept my voice easy, smile light.
34:18I have a headache.
34:19Take me home.
34:20Come with me, Sean.
34:21Just walk out that door with me right now and I'll believe everything you said.
34:25That Sierra means nothing.
34:27That you only want me.
34:28Our eyes met.
34:30He moved my hand off his sleeve.
34:32You know I can't.
34:33Not right now.
34:36He saw my eyes go glassy.
34:38He let go of Sierra's hand and crouched down in front of me.
34:41His voice dropped, softer, coaxing.
34:43Sierra and I are in the same class.
34:45I have to look out for her.
34:47Ava, be good.
34:48He reached up and brushed the corner of my eye with his thumb.
34:53If you can't watch, don't.
34:55Just wait a few minutes.
34:56Sean, if you kiss her, I will break up with you.
34:59My eyes burned dry.
35:01Not a single tear fell.
35:02I held his gaze.
35:03I mean it.
35:05Sean's patience snapped, stood up, and looked down at me.
35:08Stop being petty, Ava.
35:09I stared up at him and recognized that look.
35:12Last time I'd seen it, he'd heard the housekeeper wanted to set him up
35:15with her daughter.
35:15Polite refusal.
35:16Endless contempt underneath.
35:18One of Sean's friends couldn't take it anymore.
35:20Relax, Ava.
35:21It's just a game.
35:22His girlfriend muttered under her breath.
35:25Seriously?
35:26Why come to a bar if you're going to be this uptight?
35:30She's ruining the vibe.
35:31Before I could open my mouth, from the corner of the booth,
35:33Flynn, who hadn't said a word all night, let out a short, quiet laugh.
35:37The whole room shifted toward him.
35:39If it's just a game, why don't you go kiss every guy here?
35:42He paused, seemed to remember something, and drooled out a slow.
35:46Oh.
35:48Except me.
35:50I'm not playing.
35:53He knew exactly where the line was.
35:55Enough to humiliate her.
35:56Not enough to cause a scene.
35:57And it were.
35:58The girl sputtered for ten seconds, face red, and said nothing.
36:02Flynn bit the filter of a cigarette and lit it.
36:04Leaned back into the cushion.
36:05Slid the metal lighter onto the table with a small, dismissive click.
36:09Tossed her own words back at her.
36:12Buzzkiller.
36:12I stared at him.
36:14Couldn't blink.
36:14He was Sean's friend.
36:15I hadn't expected him to say a word.
36:17I was so thrown that I missed the three minutes entirely.
36:21By the time Sean sat back down beside me,
36:23I had already opened my phone and deleted his contact.
36:26He looked at me, flat.
36:28What is this?
36:31What I told you.
36:32We're done.
36:33I was about to block his number when he pressed down on my hand.
36:36Are we really doing this?
36:39Over a game?
36:40How far are you planning to take this?
36:42If you'd kiss someone on a dare, I wouldn't care at all.
36:44He knew my personality.
36:46He'd always known I wouldn't push back.
36:48That's why he never worried.
36:50Then the noise from across the room spiked.
36:52Flynn had drawn the most loaded dare in the deck.
36:54Take anyone here home for the night.
36:56One of the guys grinned and added,
36:58Like, actually check into a hotel?
37:00That kind?
37:03Flynn didn't move at first.
37:05Someone who knew him jumped in.
37:06Flynn's been celibate for years, man.
37:09Just take the drink penalty and move on.
37:12Nobody expected anything different.
37:14Most people who drew this one just laughed it off.
37:17Wait.
37:17Flynn spoke.
37:18He raised his eyes and looked straight at me.
37:21Everyone watched him stand, unhurried, deliberate,
37:24and walk to where I was sitting.
37:25He held out his hand,
37:27smiled like he could make you forget your own name.
37:29What do you say?
37:30Want to give it a shot tonight?
37:31Sean narrowed his eyes at Flynn,
37:33smiled easily.
37:34You must be drunk.
37:36Let me send someone to take you home.
37:38That's my girlfriend, man.
37:40The air tasted like smoke and static.
37:42Flynn glanced at Sean,
37:44completely unbothered.
37:45So?
37:47It's just a game.
37:49Don't be such a buzzkill, Sean.
37:51Sean's expression didn't shift.
37:52Oh, I'm not worried.
37:53She's too conservative.
37:54She won't say yes.
37:55I'm turning you down on her behalf.
37:57Then I placed my hand in Flynn's palm.
37:59Okay.
38:00Sean's smile froze on his face.
38:02I thought about every time someone on campus called me
38:04the good girl.
38:06The alcohol pushed back against every version of myself
38:08that had ever played it safe.
38:09So I said yes.
38:11Flynn looked at our joined hands,
38:13raised an eyebrow,
38:14pulled me to my feet,
38:15and walked toward the door.
38:16The room erupted behind us.
38:18No way!
38:19Is that actually Flynn?
38:20Am I that drunk?
38:21Stop!
38:22Sean's voice cut through all of it.
38:23He was still seated.
38:25I just wanted to say,
38:26let me know which hotel.
38:28I'll send over some protection.
38:30I stepped in before Flynn could respond.
38:33That's okay.
38:34Worrying about your ex's hookups?
38:36That's a little pathetic, Sean.
38:38Sorry.
38:38I don't really do clingy.
38:40I grabbed Flynn's hand
38:41and walked out the door
38:42before Sean's expression could finish curdling.
38:46He knew exactly where the line was.
38:48Enough to humiliate her.
38:49Not enough to cause a scene.
38:50And it worked.
38:51The girl sputtered for ten seconds,
38:53face red,
38:53and said nothing.
38:55Flynn bit the filter of a cigarette
38:56and lit it,
38:57leaned back into the cushion,
38:58slid the metal lighter onto the table
39:00with a small,
39:01dismissive click,
39:02tossed her own words back at her.
39:05Buzzkiller.

41:39I, Gregor Falcone,
41:41Alpha of the Black Moon Pack,
41:42swear before the Moon Goddess,
41:44reject Serena as my mate.
41:46I, Serena Packless Omega,
41:47accept Gregor Falcone's rejection.
41:49Or go wandering
41:50with your disgraced Omega mother.
41:52You're an Omega,
41:53rejected by father.
41:54You don't even have a place to stay.
41:56My partner,
41:57Esther,
41:57is pregnant.
41:58Heir of the Falcone family
41:59will be born next spring.
42:00So you need an ally.
42:01Because we share the same enemy.
42:03High concentration,
42:04Akane extract.
42:06You mean I should volunteer
42:07to be their servant?
42:08The more humble you are,
42:09the less they'll guard against you.
42:11I, Gregor Falcone,
42:12Alpha of the Black Moon Pack,
42:14swear before the Moon Goddess,
42:16reject Serena as my mate.
42:17I, Serena Packless Omega,
42:19accept Gregor Falcone's rejection.
42:23Liva,
42:24come here.
42:25Stay with your father.
42:26Or go wandering
42:28with your disgraced Omega mother.
42:33Livia.
42:38Father,
42:40I will always be
42:42your only daughter.
42:53Liva!
42:54You,
42:55you don't want
42:56your mother anymore?
42:57What good are you?
42:59You're an Omega,
43:00rejected by father.
43:02Can you let me keep
43:03living in this, Manon?
43:04You don't even have
43:05a place to stay.
43:17In this family,
43:18the more obedient
43:19someone is,
43:20the less he guards
43:21against them.
43:34Don't pretend.
43:36I know you sneak out
43:36to see your Omega mother
43:37every Tuesday night.
43:39I can have that
43:40shithole restaurant of hers
43:41shut down
43:42by the health department
43:43tomorrow.
43:47Once I give birth
43:48to a pure-blood heir,
43:49the entire Falcone family
43:50will belong to my child.
43:52As for you,
43:53an Omega waste
43:54who can't even shift,
43:56you'll be on welfare
43:57with your old hag mother
43:58soon enough.
44:14That's if you can
44:15carry it to term.
44:30And you're up to beach
44:33on the beach.
44:33A big day,
44:35and I'm very tired.
44:35Do you wanna be really
44:35ashamed of your life
44:38to the poor your son?
44:38Do you want
44:38to school yourself?
44:39Do you wanna Axe?
44:47Do you wanna also
44:48what you wanna be
44:48to save a story?
44:48So it's an absolute
45:05Welcome, what can I get you?
45:12Call me when you're ready.
45:45Okay, wait for me, I will never let you suffer again.
45:54Okay, wait for me.
46:02Bye.
46:02Bye.
46:02Bye.
46:07Bye.
46:09Bye.
46:10Bye.
46:10Bye.
46:11Bye.
46:27Your father and that Chicago she-wolf aren't enemies you can take on alone.
46:31They have the entire Dark Creek pack behind them.
46:34Your father may be an alcoholic, but his guard is never dropped.
46:37And Esther is an old fox.
46:39She survived three families by never trusting anyone.
46:44So?
46:46So you need an ally.
46:53High concentration acony extract.
46:55Five times stronger than the dried flowers you found in your father's study.
46:58Fully metabolized in two hours.
47:00No trace left on cup walls.
47:02Why are you helping me?
47:04Because we share the same enemy.
47:06Your father brought my uncle in from Chicago.
47:09They plotted to steal my fortune.
47:11I've been a prisoner here for three years.
47:13Injected with acumen every day.
47:14Look at these scars.
47:16They wanted to turn me into a vegetable.
47:17Never able to shift.
47:18Never able to go home.
47:20You want to go back to Chicago?
47:22I'm going to take back my family.
47:26And you're going to take down your father.
47:29Our goals are on the same path.
47:33Esther is too cautious.
47:34She'll never let me near her food or drinks.
47:37Then make them lower their guard.
47:38Your father needs a reason to let you stay in the Manon.
47:40As a daughter, but as a servant.
47:42Omega offspring can voluntarily renounce their inheritance and apply to be lowly family servants.
47:47It's a gray area in Pack Law.
47:49Rarely used, but it exists.
47:51You mean I should volunteer to be their servant?
47:56The more humble you are, the less they'll guard against you.
48:00Serve them tea and coffee.
48:02Clean their rooms.
48:02One month.
48:03Two months.
48:04When Esther thinks you're nothing but a clawless waste,
48:08she won't even glance at what you put in her cup.
48:10You have my word.
48:12I will stand up and protect you.
48:16Deal.
48:30On this wonderful night, I have a family announcement to make.
48:35My partner, Esther, is pregnant.
48:38The pure-blood heir of the Falcone family will be born next spring.
49:01I can have Moonfall Restaurant blacklisted by the health department tomorrow
49:06if you get the hell out of this manor.
49:08So what you're saying is,
49:10as long as I'm here one more day, you won't let her live in peace.
49:15That's exactly what I'm saying.
49:48Call me when you're ready.
49:51Call me when you're ready.
50:01Call me when you're ready.
50:02Call me when you're ready.
50:04I say four times.
50:04Call me when you're ready.
50:10I want to call.
50:11Tell me before you're ready.
50:13Tell me when you're ready.
50:15Tell me when you're ready.
50:17Call me when you want.
50:18Bye.
50:20I like vote.
50:21Okay, wait for me. I will never let you suffer again.
51:04Your father and that Chicago She-Wolf aren't enemies you can take on alone. They have the entire Dark Creek
51:09pack behind them. Your father may be an alcoholic, but his guard has never dropped. And Esther is an old
51:15fox. She survived three families by never trusting anyone.
51:20So?
51:22So you need an ally.
51:27What the heck?
51:29High-concentration acony extract. Five times stronger than the dried flowers you found in your father's study. Fully metabolized in
51:36two hours. No trace left on cup walls.
51:38Why are you helping me?
51:40Because we share the same enemy.
51:43Your father brought my uncle in from Chicago. They plotted to steal my fortune. I've been a prisoner here for
51:49three years. Injected with Ackermaine every day. Look at these scars. They wanted to turn me into a vegetable. Never
51:54able to shift. Never able to go home.
51:56You want to go back to Chicago?
51:59I'm gonna take back my family. And you're gonna take down your father. Our goals are on the same path.
52:09Esther is too cautious. She'll never let me near her food or drinks.
52:13Then make them lower their guard.
52:14Your father needs a reason to let you stay in the Manon. Not as a daughter, but as a servant.
52:19Omega offspring can voluntarily renounce their inheritance and apply to be lowly family servants.
52:24It's a gray area in Pack Law. Rarely used, but it exists.
52:28You mean I should volunteer to be their servant?
52:33The more humble you are, the less they'll guard against you. Serve them tea and coffee, clean their rooms, one
52:39month, two months. When Esther thinks you're nothing but a clawless waste, she won't even glance at what you put
52:45in her cup.
52:47You have my word. I will stand up and protect you.
52:53Deal.
53:07On this wonderful night, I have a family announcement to make.
53:11My partner, Esther, is pregnant.
53:14The pure blood heir of the Falcone family will be born next spring.
53:39I can have Moonfall Restaurant blacklisted by the health department tomorrow if you get the hell out of this manor.
53:44So what you're saying is, as long as I'm here one more day, you won't let her live in peace.
53:51That's exactly what I'm saying.
54:19I go live in peace.
54:20I live in peace.
54:21That's why I'm like Cap policy.
54:21Listen, Chestnut phenomena are being played in Shkrewe.
54:22I'm so THIS, I'm sure we have patients to succeed.
54:22I love you eating this tomorrow.
54:22You go всё.
54:22I love you, Shkrewe.
54:22So I put dinner with these anywhere?
54:22So I pause and I...
54:23What you do is, Wise.
