Short filmTranscript
00:00I am born with the Wolfkins, a scent gift, able to tell all werewolves good from bad simply by their
00:05scent.
00:06Kind werewolves smell sweet. Malicious werewolves smell foul.
00:10Get away from me!
00:12Never reveal a single word about your scent gift to outsiders.
00:15Alpha Kale of the werewolf clan's private birthday dinner.
00:18Why does he smell nothing but bitter?
00:20Let me treat you to this cake.
00:22I just want you to stay sweet and be happy forever.
00:25The Alpha has officially recognized you as his sister and will take...
00:30I am born with the Wolfkins, a scent gift, able to tell all werewolves good from bad simply by their
00:35scent.
00:40Kind werewolves smell sweet.
00:43Malicious werewolves smell foul.
00:46Get away from me!
00:49Why does he smell nothing but bitter?
00:56The last one who gave me sweets wanted me dead.
00:59What are you really after?
01:01I have no ulterior motives at all.
01:03I only wish you endless joy and happiness.
01:09I'm Layla, the only daughter of El Elder Gideon.
01:13I was born with the innate scent gift of the Wolf clan.
01:17Layla, remember well.
01:19Never reveal a single word about your scent gift to outsiders.
01:23If word gets out, it will surely bring endless disasters.
01:26She will turn 18 soon.
01:28Her sense of smell is extraordinary, yet her inner wolf still refuses to awaken.
01:32And she remains as innocent and naive as a young wolf cub.
01:36I can't keep her confined any longer.
01:38It's all my fault for ruining her.
01:40From then on, my parents no longer kept me confined at home.
01:43They hired private tutors and took me out to unwind.
01:47I was truly happy.
01:49Layla, remember.
01:50If you catch a foul smell on anyone, don't utter a word.
01:53Just tell us quietly when you get home.
01:55Got it, Dad.
01:56Dad always tells me the same stuff every time we head out.
01:59He did it again today, but it felt totally different.
02:03Tonight is Alpha Kale of the Werewolf clan's private birthday dinner.
02:07All high-ranking clan members can bring their families along.
02:09I've heard all about Kyle long ago.
02:11Word has it that young Lord Kyle is utterly ruthless.
02:14Anyone who betrays the clan never gets a good end.
02:17Yeah, I caught a glimpse of him from afar last time, and I didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
02:22He must reek of a strong, foul odor.
02:34Don't wander off. Stay close to me.
02:39I heard Alpha will show up in person tonight.
02:41What a rare chance.
02:42It's been ages since there's been such an exclusive private birthday a song.
02:45Quiet, he's here.
02:48Father, is Mr. Kale coming?
02:51Stand still properly, bow along with everyone, and don't look around casually.
02:58Baby, love me.
03:01Life could be so sweet.
03:04And it's all a shame to me.
03:10How come there's not even a hint of that foul smell?
03:12Bow your head. Hurry down. Don't look.
03:19How many times have I told you never to look straight at the top alpha leader?
03:21Are you out of your mind?
03:24But he's so handsome.
03:26Can I take a few more glances at something this good-looking?
03:33What?
03:34I don't know if he's like that.
03:36Kyle didn't blame me or my dad.
03:38All the rumors about him are fake.
03:40He's neither cruel nor like those gentle regular werewolves.
03:45Don't go near.
03:47Take the snacks and stroll around with your mother.
04:06Lord Kale, I hear you've been swamped with work lately.
04:09Feel free to tell me if you need any errands run or things sorted out.
04:13Everyone in our branch clan is more than willing to serve you.
04:16No need. Someone will handle it.
04:19My bad for not thinking it through.
04:21If you're free, our clan just got some rare moonflowers.
04:23We'd love for you to take a look.
04:25I'm not interested.
04:32How did you know I was hiding here?
04:35When he walked closer, I joined you caught his due took a scent.
04:39Wasn't stinky nor sweet.
04:40Just a faint bitter smell.
04:42Exactly like the medicine the clander made for me.
04:47Are you Elder Gideon's daughter, Lila?
04:49Have you ever had desserts?
04:53Why do you ask that all of a sudden?
04:55Let me treat you to this cake.
04:57I've already had some. It's really sweet.
04:59Lila, you're quite bold indeed.
05:01Thanks for the compliment.
05:04Others have given me sweets before, yet they only meant to hurt me.
05:11What about you?
05:19I just want you to stay sweet and be happy forever.
05:23Lila!
05:24Hey!
05:25Hey, Mommy!
05:28That elder sister was lying to you just now.
05:30Don't trust her at all.
05:31Don't wanna lose it.
05:32I keep playing your music.
05:34What else is there to do?
05:38Please stop.
05:39The alpha wants to see Miss Lila privately.
05:42Now?
05:42Yes.
05:43Please follow me.
05:49Why does it still smell so bitter?
05:52Didn't you have any cake?
05:58I heard you're different from other omegas.
06:01Oh, no.
06:03Does he know I can smell the scent?
06:05You're almost an adult, yet your inner wolf hasn't awakened.
06:08You still have the innocent mind of a young pup.
06:11I got such a fright.
06:13So that's what he was referring to.
06:15The teacher said I'll grow up soon.
06:17I learned to do a Christmas yesterday.
06:22Alpha, Elder Gideon is asking for an audience outside.
06:25My father?
06:29Your father loves you deeply.
06:31Of course!
06:32My dad is the best father in the world!
06:35Lila, you're so lucky.
06:38I don't have a father.
06:40Then let my dad be your dad, too, okay?
06:43Is that okay?
06:44Sure thing.
06:49Gideon, come in.
06:53Gideon John Lau, Elder Gideon.
06:56I'm quite satisfied with the gift you sent me tonight.
06:58I'm honored you like it.
06:59This sapphire is an exceedingly rare treasure,
07:02unmatched anywhere in the world.
07:05I wasn't talking about the sapphire.
07:08It's your daughter, Lila.
07:11She is naive and innocent by nature,
07:13knowing little of the clan rules.
07:15If she offends you by accident,
07:16I will take full blame for everything.
07:18You are too modest, Elder.
07:19In my eyes, she is extremely intelligent.
07:22He's the first one who ever said I'm clever.
07:25He must be a good person.
07:26Once I chase away the bitter aura ringering on him,
07:29I'm sure I can catch his gentle, sweet scent.
07:32Lila also said she wishes you could be my father as well.
07:35Yeah.
07:36Yeah.
07:39It is my fault for failing to discipline her well,
07:41letting her act improperly before you.
07:43I beg you not to blame her.
07:47Dad, did I do something wrong again?
07:52Lila is naive and speaks without tact.
07:55It's all my fault.
07:57I beg for your forgiveness.
07:58You're taking this too seriously.
08:00I think Lila is pure and candid,
08:02and her words suit my heart perfectly.
08:04I will not punish her at all.
08:06Instead, I intend to reward her.
08:22Miss Lila, the Alpha has officially recognized you as his sister,
08:25and will take you to his mansion in three days.
08:27My Lila.
08:28Doesn't that mean staying together like family every day?
08:31You don't understand.
08:34I'm willing to go.
08:35Truly, I am.
08:36I am.
08:41Just moving in to live with me and being my sister.
08:43Why so scared?
08:44I'm hungry.
08:45I was busy moving things early this morning
08:46and haven't eaten anything.
08:49Prepare some food.
08:51All sweet flavored.
09:03Are you full?
09:04Come take a walk with me.
09:17Are you sure the Alpha has gone to the other garden?
09:20Yes.
09:24Be close.
09:26I've waited for two full days yet never got to see him.
09:29What is so special about that girl who was just acknowledged as a sister?
09:32I heard the girl's father is an elder of the clan.
09:34Perhaps the president intends to win him over.
09:36Win him over?
09:37Does she even deserve it?
09:39No one but our family is qualified to stay by his side.
09:42Watch your words, young miss.
09:43It would be inappropriate if word of this gets out.
09:45She's talking about dad.
09:47Could dad be in trouble?
09:54I didn't mean it.
09:55Please punish only me.
09:56Don't punish my father.
09:58I won't punish you.
09:59But Lila, can you tell me how you knew Alera was here?
10:09After all these years, the original first-racian securities from the exchange actually show
10:14up at today's hit-off.
10:16Leo, get me an evening gown.
10:18Bring it here now.
10:19Copy that, boss.
10:19I'm heading over now.
10:20Good.
10:21I'll be waiting in five.
10:27Are you okay?
10:29Watch where you're going, you idiot!
10:30Ma'am, you're the one who ran into me.
10:36Oh my god, my dress!
10:39Look at you.
10:39What are you, the stable girl?
10:41Do you spend your days mucking out stalls?
10:43Something like that, yeah.
10:45No wonder you smell like horse crap.
10:47You know, my dress costs more than you'd make in a lifetime of shoveling manure.
10:51Look, my job isn't your concern, and I'm not the one who ripped your dress.
10:55I don't care!
10:55We're paying for this!
10:56Right here, right now!
10:58You tripped on your own skirt.
11:00Why on earth would I pay for that?
11:04Because I said so!
11:06Now pay up, or I'll keep hitting you until you do.
11:19Is that Rella Lane, the CEO of Northstone Construction?
11:25Ms. Lane!
11:26What a small world!
11:27I was just thinking we should find a way to work together.
11:29Mom.
11:31Mom?
11:37Did you do this?
11:39I-I...
11:43Ms. Lane!
11:44It's a mistake!
11:45It's all a big misunderstanding!
11:47Get her out of my sight.
11:49Make sure she never shows her face again.
11:52Mom, what are you even doing here?
11:54I have some business to take care of.
11:56The Mercer family booked this entire hotel for a charity auction.
11:59What business could you possibly have here?
12:00I know.
12:01I'm actually here for the auction.
12:04Madam.
12:05I know.
12:06Look, Mom.
12:07Tonight's auction is a gathering of the elite.
12:09Even the Secretary of the Treasury is coming.
12:11You really should just head back and look after your horses.
12:24Is that Rella Lane, the New York rising star?
12:26She's a real role model for young women.
12:29She's new money.
12:31Since when does a social climber like her belong in our circle?
12:34I heard Liam personally hand-delivered her invitation.
12:37You think he's actually into her?
12:40Liam?
12:41Into a classless, new money brat like her?
12:44Please.
12:45He has way more taste than that.
12:48This is gonna be fun.
12:51I'm sorry.
12:52You're not authorized to enter.
12:55I have an invitation.
12:58Excuse me.
12:59She's...
13:00I'm her mother.
13:04Right.
13:05She's my mother.
13:08Wow, Rella.
13:09I didn't realize your mother was the help from the stables.
13:18What's so funny?
13:21Rella, you've got it all wrong.
13:22This is a charity auction, not a ranch.
13:25Even if you want to sneak your mom in for a free meal,
13:27you could at least get her a decent dress.
13:31What is all this noise?
13:33What's going on?
13:36You, the stable hand, what are you doing in here?
13:44Mrs. Mercer, she's actually Rella's mother.
13:49She's your mother?
13:54Mrs. Mercer, yes.
13:55She is my mother.
14:00Don't be mad, Mrs. Mercer.
14:01I'm sure Rella just wants to show her mother how the other half lives.
14:11Rella, use some common sense.
14:13Is this really the place for a family field trip?
14:19Look, as a mother, coming from the bottom is one thing.
14:22But at least stop being such a burden to your daughter.
14:26I think you're all mistaken.
14:27I'm an invited guest as well.
14:29Mom!
14:29Stop talking nonsense!
14:32This is my invitation.
14:37Mom!
14:38Tonight's invitations aren't even gold!
14:40Stop it!
14:44Is that...
14:45What?
14:51Wow, look at this shiny gold invitation.
14:53It sure looks nothing like our green ones.
14:57It's a pretty good fake, too bad.
14:58They don't even know what color the real invitations are.
15:01It isn't a fake.
15:03Liam is the one who...
15:04Mom, can you just stop talking?
15:12Is this...
15:13Mrs. Mercer, I'm so sorry.
15:15I take my mother and leave right now.
15:17Wait!
15:17I apologize for my rudeness.
15:19I apologize for my rudeness.
15:20Thank you for joining us tonight.
15:24What the hell?
15:25Why is Mrs. Mercer acting so respectful to a stable hand?
15:27Ugh, I bet Mrs. Mercer just wants to avoid a scandal tonight.
15:31That's the only reason she lets her off the hook.
15:34Rila, take good care of your mother.
15:36Ma'am, please make yourself at home.
15:43Go check which VIP guests Liam gives the gold invitations to.
15:51Mom, where do you get this invitation?
15:53Liam gives it to...
15:54Oh!
15:55Oh!
15:57Liam!
16:09You like Liam, don't you?
16:13Please.
16:14Even if Rila likes him, so what?
16:17The class gaps between your families is massive.
16:20True.
16:21Liam's status is a bit low, but as long as my daughter likes him, that's all that matters.
16:31Mom, just stop talking.
16:33Sure, a New York titan is totally beneath a bunch of stable hands.
16:39So, do you like him or not?
16:41Liam is the heir to the Mercer family.
16:44There is no us.
16:45It's impossible.
16:48Rila, don't worry about status.
16:49You have me.
16:51Go after him.
16:53Come on, your daughter has way more self-awareness than you.
16:56At least she knows who's in her league and who's off limits.
16:58What century are we in?
16:59Since when does love come with a background check?
17:02Rila.
17:02If you like him, tell him.
17:04You are my daughter.
17:10Hey, why don't you give her a little bush?
17:15Liam.
17:18Mom, don't go over there.
17:21Touch my mother again and see what happens.
17:24I'm done being nice to you two.
17:27Who is she?
17:28Does she really just call Mr. Mercer by his first name?
17:30Didn't you hear?
17:31That's Rila's mother.
17:32Imagine being that successful and having a stable hand for a mother.
17:35What a nightmare.
17:41I am so sorry, Liam.
17:47Mrs. Lane, it is such an honor to have you at our family's charity gala.
17:59Ethan, I'm asking one last time.
18:00Can you make it back for the noon ceremony or not?
18:03If you don't want to lose me, then postpone the wedding.
18:05If you can't make it back today, we're done.
18:08Who says I'm not getting married?
18:09What?
18:10I dialed my arch nemesis, Orion Silvermoon.
18:13Yeah, it's me.
18:14I, I'm short a groom for today's mating ceremony.
18:17Mr. Orion Silvermoon, would you mind attending my wedding and signing a mating contract?
18:21I do.
18:22But, let me make this clear.
18:24I'm not being just a tool.
18:25I want a real one.
18:26Don't be petty.
18:27If you don't want to lose me, then postpone the mating ceremony.
18:30Then postpone the mating ceremony.
18:32I called my seven-year nemesis instead.
18:35I'm short a groom for today's mating ceremony.
18:37Care to do me a favor?
18:40Sylvia's really running a fever and her wolf is weak.
18:44Every time she's been sick since we were kids, I've been by her side.
18:47I can't rest easy otherwise.
18:50Ethan's voice came through the phone, but it couldn't hurt me anymore.
18:54On my birthday, Sylvia got jostled at the high-end ball and ended up with bruises on
18:59her arm.
18:59He left me that same night to go tend to her dot on our anniversary.
19:03Sylvia got gossiped about at moonlight for me.
19:05Bring what Rupal called an Omega who latches onto others.
19:09She felt so wronged.
19:11Ethan left me to comfort her the entire night.
19:14Even the night before our wedding, Sylvia said she had a fever.
19:18He dropped me immediately and traveled across miles just to sit by her bedside.
19:29Ethan, I'm asking one last time.
19:31Can you make it back for the noon ceremony or not?
19:34Three hours to the nearest airport.
19:36I can't make it.
19:37Just postpone the ceremony for one day, all right?
19:41Postpone?
19:42My family is decorating the wedding house with me right now.
19:45All our pack members and guests are either at the Moonbloom altar already or on their
19:49way.
19:50You're telling me to postpone?
19:52What am I supposed to tell them?
19:58Lydia?
19:58Tell them what?
20:00That my fiancé is a thousand miles away with another she-wolf?
20:03That you're a cheating fiancé?
20:05That she's a slut who stole you?
20:09Lydia, what's between me and Sylvia isn't what you think.
20:12Don't be so petty.
20:17Petty?
20:18You and Sylvia should just get married on the spot, signing your-your mate bond right
20:21now.
20:21Why waste all these years of mine?
20:23Four years.
20:23I've watched their acting for four years.
20:25I'm tired.
20:26I delivered my final ultimatum, Dot.
20:27If you can't make it back today, we're done.
20:29Lydia, I understand you're emotionally unstable out of your jealousy.
20:33But like I said, I just can't make it back.
20:35If you don't want to lose me, then postpone the wedding.
20:38With that, he hung up in a huffed Dot, as if I was the one in the wrong all along
20:42Dot.
20:43It's wrong.
20:44I brought this on, Seth Dot.
20:45But from now on, never again.
20:47People rushed in through the door.
20:48They saw the smashed picture frames and froze.
20:52Lydia, what happened?
20:53What did that bastard Ethan say?
20:56Don't hurt yourself.
20:57Let me smash.
21:00The wedding room was a disaster zone.
21:03Forget it.
21:04No wedding is better than this.
21:06I will tell your father to explain it to your grandfather.
21:11Who says I'm not getting married?
21:13What?
21:14What?
21:14What?
21:17I dialed my arch nemesis.
21:18Orion Silvermoon.
21:19The Silvermoon noble representative on the council.
21:22Future Duke of Silvermoon.
21:23Back in school, I came from Shadowmoon commoners.
21:26He was Silvermoon nobility.
21:28We fought for every ranking.
21:29On the council, I represented the Shadowmoon district.
21:32While he led the younger generation of the noble faction.
21:35We argued countless times.
21:36For years, he blocked what was mine, and I took what was his.
21:40Everyone thought we were fire and ice.
21:46I was about to hang up when it connected.
21:48His voice carried a hint of hesitation.
21:51Hello?
21:52Lydia?
21:53Whatever.
21:53Orion Silvermoon was the only one I could think of who might actually say yes.
21:58We found out I was getting married.
22:00He joked.
22:01Wouldn't it be great if you married me instead?
22:04Then we wouldn't have to be arch enemies anymore, mating each other and becoming power
22:08couple.
22:09Today, I could lose love, but I could not lose my dignity, Dot.
22:12This wedding must happen.
22:15Yeah, it's me.
22:17I- I'm short a groom for today's mating ceremony.
22:20Mr. Orion Silvermoon.
22:21Would you mind attending my wedding and signing a mating contract with me?
22:24Lydia, signing a mating contract?
22:27One second.
22:28Two seconds.
22:29Three.
22:29My heart pounded harder.
22:30Disappointment started to creep in.
22:34Lydia, what kind of joke is this?
22:35If- if you don't want to, then forget-
22:38I do.
22:39You- you said yes?
22:42Yeah, I said yes.
22:43But, let me make this clear.
22:45I'm not being just a tool.
22:47What do you mean?
22:48Orion Silvermoon.
22:50Doesn't wed a fake mate.
22:51I want a real one.
22:52Someone who can lie beside me.
22:55Someone I can feel flesh and blood, warmth.
22:58You understand?
23:00Deal.
23:03Deal.
23:06So, what do I need to do now?
23:08Get to the Moonbloom altar before 11am for our ceremony.
23:13Also, we need a wedding house.
23:15Got it.
23:16Leave that to me.
23:16I promise you won't be disappointed.
23:21Orion Silvermoon?
23:22Is that the same Orion Silvermoon you call your arch-nemese on the council?
23:26Yes.
23:26But that- that can't work.
23:28What if he takes advantage of you?
23:29What if he screws you over?
23:30Why not?
23:31Auntie, I think it's great.
23:33Orion Silvermoon.
23:34The council represent us just like Lydia, and he is the only heir of the Duke of Silvermoon.
23:38Way better than that two-tipping jerk, Ethan Ashford, who thinks his diplomatic official title makes him special.
23:44Orion Silvermoon and I were just using each other, Dot.
23:46But it didn't matter.
23:49All I wanted was for this ceremony to go on.
23:52You'd better think carefully.
23:54If you don't postpone and end up without a mate at the altar, your family will be the one humiliated
23:58in public.
23:59Either way, the Ashford family won't be attending.
24:01The wedding will not be delayed.
24:03Stop throwing a tantrum.
24:05Don't be so unreasonable.
24:06The Ashford family has noble blesestery.
24:08We're a political dynasty now.
24:10Everyone who married to our family is well-behaved and obedient.
24:12Lydia, you aren't checking to woman's amelie.
24:15You she also he raw rink.
24:16Guy fan make a fierce nap.
24:17I hung up.
24:18Couldn't be bothered to listen to their nonsense anymore.
24:21Dot marry into the Ashford family and suffer dream on...
24:30Don't be petty.
24:31If you don't want to lose me, then postpone the mating ceremony.
24:34Then postpone the mating ceremony.
24:36I called my seven-year nemesis instead.
24:39I'm short a groom for today's mating ceremony.
24:41Care to do me a favor?
24:44Sylvia is really running a fever and her wolf is weak.
24:48Every time she's been sick since we were kids, I've been by her side.
24:51I can't rest easy otherwise.
24:54Ethan's voice came through the phone, but it couldn't hurt me anymore.
24:58On my birthday, Sylvia got jostled at the high-end ball and ended up with bruises on her arm.
25:03He left me that same night to go tend to her dot on our anniversary.
25:07Sylvia got gossiped about at Moonlight Thurmy,
25:09bring what Rukul call called an Omega, who latches onto others.
25:13She felt so wronged.
25:15Ethan left me to comfort her the entire night.
25:18Even the night before our wedding, Sylvia said she had a fever.
25:22He dropped me immediately and traveled across miles just to sit by her bedside.
25:32Ethan, I'm asking one last time.
25:35Can you make it back for the noon ceremony or not?
25:38Three hours to the nearest airport.
25:40I can't make it.
25:41Just postpone the ceremony for one day, all right?
25:45Postpone?
25:46My family is decorating the wedding house with me right now.
25:49All our pack members and guests are either at the Moonbloom altar already or on their way.
25:54You're telling me to postpone?
25:56What am I supposed to tell them?
26:01Lydia?
26:02Tell them what?
26:04That my fiancé is a thousand miles away with another she-wolf?
26:07That you're a cheating fiancé?
26:09That she's a slut who stole you?
26:13Lydia, what's between me and Sylvia isn't what you think.
26:16Don't be so petty.
26:21Petty?
26:22You and Sylvia should just get married on the spot, signing your mate bond right now.
26:25Why waste all these years of mine?
26:27Four years.
26:27I've watched their acting for four years.
26:29I'm tired.
26:30I delivered my final ultimatum dot.
26:31If you can't make it back today, we're done.
26:33Lydia, I understand you're emotionally unstable out of your jealousy.
26:36But like I said, I just can't make it back.
26:39If you don't want to lose me, then postpone the wedding.
26:42With that, he hung up in a huffed dot, as if I was the one in the wrong all-along
26:46dot.
26:47It's wrong.
26:47I brought this on, Seth Dot, but from now on, never again.
26:51People rushed in through the door.
26:52They saw the smashed picture frames and froze.
26:56Lydia, what happened?
26:57What did that bastard Ethan say?
27:00Don't hurt yourself.
27:01Let me smash.
27:04The wedding room was a disaster zone.
27:07Forget it.
27:08No wedding is better than this.
27:10I will tell your father to explain it to your grandfather.
27:15Who says I'm not getting married?
27:17What?
27:20I dialed my arch nemesis, Orion Silvermoon, the Silvermoon Noble representative on the council.
27:26Future Duke of Silvermoon dot.
27:27Back in school, I came from Shadowmoon commoners.
27:30He was Silvermoon nobility.
27:31We fought for every ranking.
27:33On the council, I represented the Shadowmoon district.
27:36While he led the younger generation of the noble faction, we argued countless times.
27:40For years, he blocked what was mine, and I took what was his.
27:44Everyone thought we were fire and ice.
27:50I was about to hang up when it connected.
27:52His voice carried a hint of hesitation.
27:55Hello?
27:56Lydia?
27:57Whatever.
27:57Orion Silvermoon was the only one I could think of who might actually say yes.
28:02We found out I was getting married.
28:04He joked.
28:05Wouldn't it be great if you married me instead?
28:08Then we wouldn't have to be arch enemies anymore, mating each other and becoming power couple.
28:13Today, I could lose love, but I could not lose my dignity dot.
28:16This wedding must happen.
28:19Yeah, it's me.
28:20I- I'm short a groom for today's mating ceremony, Mr. Orion Silvermoon.
28:25Would you mind attending my wedding and signing a mating contract with me?
28:28Lydia, signing a mating contract?
28:31One second.
28:32Two seconds.
28:33Three.
28:33My heart pounded harder.
28:34Disappointment started to creep in.
28:38Lydia, what kind of joke is this?
28:39If- if you don't want to, then forget-
28:42I do.
28:43You- you said yes?
28:46Yeah, I said yes.
28:47But, let me make this clear.
28:49I'm not being just a tool.
28:51What do you mean?
28:52Orion Silvermoon.
28:54Doesn't wed a fake mate.
28:55I want a real one.
28:56Someone who can lie beside me.
28:59Someone I can feel flesh and blood, warmth.
29:02You understand?
29:04Deal.
29:07Deal.
29:07Deal.
29:10So, what do I need to do now?
29:12Get to the Moonbloom altar before 11am for our ceremony.

30:20Guy-pian nigga fierce now.
30:21I hung up.
30:22Couldn't be bothered to listen to their nonsense anymore.
30:25Dot marry into the Ashford family and suffer dream on...
30:34Don't be petty.
30:35If you don't want to lose me, then postpone the mating ceremony.
30:38Then postpone the mating ceremony.
30:40I called my seven-year nemesis instead.
30:43I'm short a groom for today's mating ceremony.

33:04Don't hurt yourself.
33:05Let me smash.
33:08The wedding room was a disaster zone.

36:09The wedding will not be delayed.

36:13Don't be so unreasonable.
36:14The Ashford family has noble blesestery.
36:16We're a political dynasty now.
36:18Everyone who married to our family is well-behaved and obedient.
36:21Lydia, you aren't checking to woman's family.
36:23You shall so he raw rink.
36:24Guy-pian-nigga fierce now.
36:25I hung up.
36:26Couldn't be bothered to listen to their nonsense anymore.
36:29Dot marry into the Ashford family and suffer dream on...
36:35I'll come back and bind with you.
36:36Everyone thought I'd swallow my pride and wait until the next moon.
36:39After all, I'd already waited for seven years.
36:42But that night, I took a ship across the western fjords for an arranged marriage.
36:46I showed up to the great solstice feast alone.
36:48The second Soren saw me, his eyes lit up.
36:51You said you didn't want to come, but here you are.
36:53Where do you think you're going?
36:54I shook his hand off.
36:55Those are your seats.
36:56Mine is over there.
36:57I pointed straight at the high jar's carved oak table.
36:59Ingrid shot me a venomous glare.
37:01How dare you wear that armering!
37:02Made the entire mead hall turn to look at us.
37:04Wait, is that the chair of Yggazigh?
37:07We were supposed to bind our souls at the temple of the Allfather that day.
37:11But my betrothé threw me out of the sacred grounds.
37:14Then walked in with his childhood sweetheart instead.
37:17He looked at me like it was nothing.
37:19Ingrid's child needs a father so she could stay in the clan.
37:22Once we sever the blood oath, I'll come back and bind with you.
37:26Everyone thought I'd swallow my pride and wait until the next moon.
37:30After all, I'd already waited for seven years.
37:35But that night, I took a ship across the western fjords for an arranged marriage.
37:39I vanished from his world completely.
37:44Three years later, my husband and I flew our dragons back to the mainland for a grand ancestral blot.
37:49My husband had an urgent border skirmish to attend to, so he sent a beast and a handler to escort
37:54me.
37:55I walked out of the dragon docks.
37:57I walked into the arrival's courtyard and saw a warrior holding a parchment bearing my runic crest.
38:02I walked over and froze.
38:04Holding the parchment was my ex-betrothal Sorin.
38:06He was craning his neck, looking past me at the incoming whitens.
38:09He had Ingrid with him and half his old raiding party.
38:12One of the warriors nudged him.
38:13Sorin, isn't that your clinging admirer?
38:15That's Astrid.
38:16Sorin looked at me.
38:17He looked surprised for a split second.
38:19Then he smirked.
38:20I told you all long ago.
38:22I knew she'd call back.
38:23The whole raiding party burst out laughing.
38:25Astrid vanished without a trace.
38:27Now she sees Sorden has plundered gold.
38:29She probably cries herself to sleep every night.
38:33One of them looked me up and down.
38:35Astrid, if you're here to see Sorden, why show up in plain wool?
38:38Couldn't you at least paint your face with war colours?
38:41Without Sorden, you can't even barter for a nice cloak.
38:44Pathetic.
38:45It was true.
38:47I used to spend hours getting ready for Seddon.
38:50Full braided hair, clan paints, fitted leathers and furs.
38:53Always making sure I looked perfect for him.
38:55But I didn't need to do that anymore, because I'm pregnant.
38:59And my husband refused to let me ride uncomfortably.
39:02He banned heavy chainmail, and had this plain-tuked spun by the light elves of Alfheim just for me.
39:07Listening to them mock me, it suddenly clicked.
39:10They only read the ruse on the garrison's dispatch.
39:12They had no idea the noble they were picking up was me.
39:18Since I wasn't saying anything, an old mutual friend stepped in, trying to play peacemaker.
39:24Astrid, glad to see you back.
39:25Solon actually spent years looking for you.
39:27He has been asking about you everywhere.
39:29Solon's smug smile stiffened.
39:31He cleared his throat and acted casually.
39:33Ingrid's kid starts shield training next week.
39:35From now on, you're getting him to the training grounds.
39:37He was still so incredibly arrogant.
39:39But I wasn't that naive little girl anymore.
39:42Looking at him now, I just felt exhausted and disgusted.
39:45I didn't want to waste another second on them.
39:46I was just about to tell them exactly who I was, but Ingrid beat me to it.
39:51Astrid, please don't be mad at Sorin.
39:54He's just trying to take care of you.
39:55You disappeared for three winters.
39:57What kind of shady taverns have you been staying at?
40:00Look at you.
40:01Solon wanted to make you his personal scribe, but clearly you're not a fit.
40:05Don't worry.
40:06Being my Thrail is an honor.
40:07No one will look down on you.
40:09Three years apart, she's still as arrogant as ever.
40:12She still makes me cringe.
40:14Sorin saw my scound and thought I was just jealous.
40:17His eyes flashed with triumph.
40:19All right, Astrid, drop the attitude.
40:20You clearly can't survive out in the wild.
40:22So hold your temper, take care of the kid, and learn your place.
40:26Don't worry.
40:26I got a perfect cot for you, just in the dragon pens.
40:30The whole group howled with laughter.
40:33By Thor, Astrid, show some appreciation.
40:36He's giving you free meat and mead.
40:38Isn't that better than wherever you're living now?
40:40Ingrid touched her gold-forged earring, putting on an affected tone.
40:43Don't you worry, dear.
40:45If my son acts up, I'll make sure he still behave.
40:47He won't let it out on you, I promise.
40:49Solon let out a cold laugh and shot me a glance.
40:52Why's that?
40:52She was always so stubborn, ran away over a tiny little misunderstanding.
40:55If she hit rock bottom out there, she deserves to suffer a little.
40:58Hearing that, my heart actually skipped a beat.
41:00After three years, he still thought ditching me at the Temple of the Allfather for Ingrid
41:04was just a tiny little misunderstanding.
41:07Sorin, the one I had fallen in love with, was gone.
41:10He wasn't the boy who carried me across the frozen tundra, ignoring his own bleeding frostbite.
41:15He wasn't the broken youth who promised me the Nine Realms.
41:18He wasn't the warrior who, despite all his glory and spoils, was still willing to do game for me.
41:24But whatever.
41:25It was all in the past.
41:26None of it mattered anymore.
41:28Besides, I'm about to give birth to my second child.
41:31Pushed my feelings down.
41:32I didn't want to argue with him.
41:33It was pointless.
41:34Aren't you here to guide me to the keep?
41:35Let's go.
41:36They exchanged luck.
41:37Then they burst out laughing.
41:38Guide you?
41:38What a joke.
41:39She pointed at the runic parchment.
41:41Read it carefully.
41:41We are waiting for Lady Vag.
41:43Do you even know who that is?
41:44Vag was my new name.
41:45Of course I knew.
41:46Lady Vag is the matriarch of the Black Dragon Clan.
41:48She is the actual wife of Hyald Gul'da Vag.
41:50Gul'da Vag is a ruthless warlord, but he's completely obsessed with his wife.
41:54I heard he stayed solitary for years.
41:56Just waiting for her.
41:57Everyone in the realm knows the rule.
41:58Don't try to kiss up to Gondar.
42:00Kiss up to Lady Vag.
42:01She is his entire world.
42:03Listening to them gossip about my marriage.
42:05I couldn't help it.
42:05To win his wife's heart.
42:07Goran Vag barted with the dwarves of Svotalfard for a custom arm ring.
42:10It's called the Tear of Yigadaski.
42:12It costs 20 chests of gold.
42:14Lady Vag is literally the most envied woman in Midlad.
42:17Her eyes darted down to my wrist.
42:19She let out a sharp gasp.
42:21That exact same arm has...
42:23It's a pretty good fake.
42:24Which broke stable boy bought this for you?
42:26Buying you a cheap iron knockoff.
42:28Absolute trash.
42:29I snatched my hand back and gently rubbed the arm ring on my wrist.
42:34I smirked.
42:36Seeing my happy, unfazed smile.
42:39Sorin's eyes narrowed in pure rage.
42:41He lunged forward.
42:42He grabbed my wrist with a crushing grip.
42:44And violently ripped the arm ring off my arm.
42:45Ingrid eagerly stepped forward.
42:47She snatched the arm ring from Solon's hand.
42:49And started playing with it.
42:50Look.
42:50A high quality fake.
42:51Way better than the replica I bought from that merchant.
42:53But I'd never actually wear mine in the great hall.
42:54How embarrassing.
42:56These foreign knockoffs are more detailed.
42:58The wait actually feels real.
43:00She gave me a mocking, sickly sweet smile.
43:02Or what, Astrid?
43:03Are you saying you're the real Lady Varg?
43:05Are you the legendary warlord's wife?
43:07The second she said it, the raiding party erupted into hysterical laughter.
43:10Gunan Varg was a feared conqueror.
43:12He was ruthless and unstoppable.
43:14And three years ago, I was just a pathetic nobody.
43:17The loser who got dumped at the temple.
43:18Ingrid spun the priceless arm ring around her finger.
43:21Astrid!
43:21Sell this fake to me.
43:23I'll pay you double.
43:23I panicked, terrified she was gonna drop it.
43:25Give that back right now!
43:28Gunan gave that to me!
43:29Shut your mouth!
43:30Soren glared at me like I was insane.
43:32Astrid, have you gone mad?
43:34How dare you just drop Lord Varg's name like that?
43:35Are you trying to get me sent to Valhalla early?
43:37His warrior buddies stared at me with pure rage.
43:39Do you have any idea how hard we fought for this escort duty?
43:43Gunan Varg conquered Soren's clan last half.
43:45Our entire livelihood depends on him now.
43:47The only way Soren keeps his commander spot is if we impress Lady Varg.
43:51And you're out here spreading psychotic rumors that you know the high yearn?
43:54Are you trying to ruin Solon's honor?
43:56My stare must have been dead cold because Soren frowned.
43:59A flicker of genuine panic flashed across his eyes.
44:01You ungrateful wretch!
44:03Solon was kind enough to offer you a roof to survive.
44:05Don't push it.
44:06I know you're bitter about the past, but trying to sabotage his command out of petty revenge?
44:11That's sick.
44:11Sora shook his head in disgust.
44:13You're such a jealous shrew.
44:15But this time, he didn't keep screaming at me.
44:17He went quiet for a second.
44:18Then he pulled out a heavy pouch from his belt.
44:20He tossed a bag of pure silver pieces right at my chest.
44:24For the sake of our past bond, I'll let this slide.
44:26Take the silver.
44:27Go get some decent cloaks.
44:28If you really don't want to tend the pens for Ingrid's kid, I'll have you sent to the kitchens next
44:32week.
44:32Watching him play the generous savior made my stomach turn.
44:35The whole group watched me, waiting for me to grovel and take the pouch.
44:39Instead, I kicked it away.
44:40I reached over.
44:41No thank you, Commander.
44:42Seems like you need it more than I do.
44:44Soren's face turned bright red.
44:45I ignored him and turned to walk away.
44:48But I barely made it two steps before he grabbed my arm.
44:51Astrid!
44:53What is your problem?
44:54Commander?
44:55What do you mean?
44:55I pulled my arm free.
44:57We broke our oaths three years ago.
44:58It's better if we keep our distance.
45:00I wouldn't want anyone to get the wrong idea.
45:02I was thinking about my fiercely loyal, slightly jealous dragon lord husband.
45:06But Soren glanced over at Ingrid.
45:07He looked like he had it all figured out.
45:09The Yars are hosting a great solstice feast for Lord Varg in three days.
45:12I was actually planning to bring you to my table.
45:14To let you experience true grand ceremony.
45:16But you'd need to buy a decent dress.
45:18I can't have you embarrassing me.
45:20I cut him off immediately.
45:22With all respect, I really don't need it.
45:25Hearing me reject him again, Soren grew annoyed.
45:28He was grinding his teeth.
45:30Astrid, you've grown a spine, haven't you?
45:33It's true what they say.
45:33The poorer you get, the bigger your attitude.
45:36Fine!
45:37If you don't want to go, forget it!
45:39I'll take Ingrid.
45:40Hearing that she got to attend the High Jars feast, Ingrid's eyes lit up.
45:42Soren, I promise I'll be perfect.
45:45I absolutely won't embarrass you.
45:47I was so incredibly done with them.
45:49I turned around and strode away.
45:50But I tossed one last look over my shoulder.
45:54I'm looking forward seeing you both in three days.
45:56I practically sprinted out of the courtyard.
45:58Hitting the crisp, freezing air outside.
46:00Finally pushing down the nauseous churning in my stomach.
46:02My mind flashed back to three years ago.
46:04My clan had been pressuring me into an arranged marriage across the sea.
46:08I fought them on it.
46:09I begged Sudan, my betrothal of seven years, to just run away with me into the forests.
46:13To swear oaths and be together forever.
46:15But when I showed up at the Temple of the Allfather, he brought Ingrid.
46:19He told me her child needed a father under clan law.
46:21He told me he'd sever the tie to her in Amun's time and bond with me then.
46:25He told me not to overthink it.
46:26Watching him hold her hand and walk up to the altar, I realized what a fool I've been.
46:30I sailed across the western fjords for a blind arrangement that very night.
46:33Amun later, I married Gunnar Varg.
46:35A year later, we had our firstborn.
46:37And now, I'm pregnant with our second.
46:39Honestly, if it wasn't for Guller's ancestral blot, I definitely wouldn't have seen Sorin ever again.
46:44Three days later, I showed up to the Great Solstice Feast alone.
46:47Wearing light face paint and my custom Elen-spun tunic.
46:50The second Sorin saw me, his eyes lit up.
46:53A smug smirk spread across his face.
46:55You said you didn't want to come.
46:57But here you are.
46:58Listen, if you want me back, you need to at least dress the part to match my new status.
47:03I brushed off his arrogance and tried to pass him.
47:06He stopped me angrily after just two steps.
47:08Astrid!
47:09I'm talking to you!
47:11Our seats are right here!
47:12Where do you think you're going?
47:13I shook his hand off.
47:15Those are your seats.
47:16Mine is over there.
47:17I pointed straight at the high jar's carved oak table.
47:19Sorin's face instantly dark.
47:21Ingrid shot me a venomous glare.
47:22She pointed directly at my wrist and yelled at the top of her lungs.
47:25Astrid, how did you sneak in here?
47:26Are you here to ruin everything?
47:29How dare you wear that arm ring?
47:31Her screeching made the entire mead hall turn to look at us.
47:33People immediately started whispering.
47:35Wait, is that the tear of Yigazik?
47:37Lord Varg forged that for his wife.
47:39Tonight is Lady Varg's first public appearance.
47:41Is this girl trying to mock the High Yul's wife?
47:44She sneaked past the guards.
47:45Is she trying to humiliate us in front of Lord Varg?
47:48One of the elder warriors turned to Sorin.
47:50Commander?
47:51Is this young lady of your clan?
47:53Sorin saw that I wasn't even looking at him.
47:55He adjusted his expensive fur cloak and said coldly,
47:57No, I don't know her.
47:59Hearing that, Ingrid looked completely thrilled.
48:01She lifted her chin and sneered at me.
48:03Take that fake arm ring off and get out!
48:05Three days later, I showed up to the Great Solstice Feast alone,
48:08wearing light face paint and my custom Ellen-spun tunic.
48:12The second Sorin saw me, his eyes lit up.
48:14A smug smirk spread across his face.
48:17You said you didn't want to come, but here you are.
48:20Listen, if you want me back,
48:22you need to at least dress the part to match my new status.
48:25I brushed off his arrogance and tried to pass him.
48:28He stopped me angrily after just two steps.
48:30Astrid!
48:31I'm talking to you!
48:32Our seats are right here!
48:34Where do you think you're going?
48:35I shook his hand off.
48:36Those are your seats.
48:37Mine is over there.
48:38I pointed straight at the high jar's carved oak table.
48:41Sorin's face instantly dark.
48:42Ingrid shot me a venomous glare.
48:44She pointed directly at my wrist and yelled at the top of her lungs.
48:46Astrid, how did you sneak in here?

49:24Take that fake arm ring off and get out!
