00:00The man who came back was not my brother-in-law. It was my husband, Kaylin. I believed every word
00:05until Kaylin had me executed on charges of conspiring with the demon clan. Watching him
00:09hold my sister close, I finally understood. Every last thing had been his design. When I opened my
00:15eyes again, I was back. The day the dragon court celebrated their great victory that my husband
00:19had fallen in battle. By the laws of our house, when a spouse falls in battle, the surviving
00:24partner must remain in mourning for a hundred years. I choose the second path. I'll remarry.
00:30Silence. The entire hall went motionless. After the war between dragon court and green faction,
00:35my sister's husband returned safely while mine fell in battle. Everyone pitied me, but I knew the truth.
00:41The man who came back was not my brother-in-law. It was my husband, Kaylin. He and Lucien were
00:46twin
00:46brothers, near equal in power. No one suspected a thing. Kaylin pulled me aside to explain.
00:51Lyra, I did this for the greater good. Lucien is the crown prince of the dragon court. If the clan
00:57hears the crown prince died in battle, chaos follows. Your sister is gentle. She cannot bear
01:03that loss. I am only keeping watch over her. Once things have settled, I will return to your side.
01:10I believed every word until Kaylin had me executed on charges of conspiring with the demon clan.
01:15Watching him hold my sister close, I finally understood. Every last thing had been his design.
01:20When I opened my eyes again, I was back. The 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. Without a moment's hesitation,
01:35I chose to remarry. Kaylin thought taking the crown prince's place meant power. He had no idea.
01:42Walking away from me meant losing his only path to the throne.
01:45Lyra, Selen is... he's gone.
01:48It was the dragon king who spoke. He had two sons. One had become crown prince and had taken my
01:53sister
01:54as his princess. The other was my husband, Kaylin. He sat on the throne, staring at his brother's
01:59coffin. Grief painted perfectly across his face. Before I could speak, my sister's voice cut through
02:03the silence. Her voice is soft but performative. Little sister, I know how much pain you're in.
02:10She looked down at me, eyes full of practice sorrow. It's all right to cry. I lifted my gaze,
02:15not to her, but to the man at her side. My husband, wearing his dead brother's name.
02:19Kaylin's fingers interlaced with my sister's. He felt my stare, turned his head, something flickered
02:24across his face that looked almost like shock. I nearly laughed. Kaylin's performance was as
02:28flawless as ever. Last life, it took me months to believe the man beside my sister was really him.
02:33This time I already knew. A whale split the air. The dragon queen threw herself across the coffin,
02:38tears streaking her face. My son! Then she spun and pointed at me. It's you! You cursed him! You
02:46killed my boy! She never wanted me for her son. I had once brought my doubts to Kaylin, and he
02:51had
02:51sworn to me with absolute certainty. No matter what, I will always take your side. His mother slapped me
02:57without warning. Her palm cracked across my cheek so hard the hall went still. She raised her hand
03:01again. The dragon king barked at his guards to intervene. Enough! The hall erupted into chaos.
03:09Through all of it, Kaylin stood quietly at my sister's side, holding her hand. He reached into
03:14his coat and produced a small, glimmering stone, a water spirit stone, pale blue, luminous. He held
03:19it out to my sister like an offering. He murmured, low and tender. Sarah, I brought this back for you.
03:27I smiled without warmth. I had always wanted a water spirit stone. In my last life, I had asked
03:32Kaylin for one, begged him. Every time he left for war, he always said yes, but I never received it.
03:38Now I understood. He had in short and forgotten to look. He had simply never intended to give it to
03:43me. My sister noticed me watching. Her expression cooled. She stepped slightly in front of Kaylin,
03:47shielding him. She said, Why do you keep staring at my husband? The dragon king exhaled slowly.
03:54Lyra, by the laws of our house, when a spouse falls in battle, the surviving partner must remain in
04:00mourning for a hundred years. I won't force you, but I need to know. What will you do?
04:06I shook my head. I choose the second path. I'll remarry.
04:10Silence. The entire hall went motionless.
04:14Kaylin spoke first. Absurd!
04:17His voice was tight. Lyra, you can't marry someone else.
04:20The dragon king and my sister exchanged a glance, both suddenly alert.
04:28The man who came back was not my brother-in-law. It was my husband, Kaylin. I believed every word.
04:34Until Kaylin had me executed, on charges of conspiring with the demon clan. Watching him
04:38hold my sister close, I finally understood. Every last thing had been his design. When I opened my eyes

06:41It's alright to cry.

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

32:07I thought back to two years.
32:08A chill struck me.
32:09When 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 ninth.
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.
32:51Sean had me figured out.
32:53The good girl never does anything reckless.
32:55But when then, the next round came.
32:57Sean's best friend Flynn, the school's golden boy, drew the same pile.
33:01His dare takes 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.
33:43Rejected.
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.
34:01Yanked Sierra back by the arm.
34:03Looked at the guy with a cold smile.
34:05You get off on cornering, girls?
34:06Sierra gripped Sean's hand.
34:08Looked up at him like he was the only solid thing in the room.
34:10I 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.
34:17Smile 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.
34:42Softer.
34:43Coaxing.
34:43Sierra and I are in the same class.
34:45I have to look out for her.
34:47Ava.
34:47Be good.
34:48He reached up and brushed the corner of my eye with his thumb.
34:53If you can't watch, don't.
34:54Just wait a few minutes.
34:56Sean.
34:57If 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 with 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?
35:29She's ruining the vibe.
35:31Before I could open my mouth, from the corner of the booth, Flynn, who hadn't said a word
35:35all 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 drawled 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.
36:01Flynn 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.
36:13Couldn'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, I had already opened my phone and deleted
36:25his 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, and walk to where I was sitting.
37:25He held out his hand, smiled 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, smiled 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, completely unbothered.
37:45So?
37:47It's just a game.
37:49Don't be such a buzzkill, Sean.
37:50Sean'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.
38:01I thought about every time someone on campus called me the good girl.
38:06The alcohol pushed back against every version of myself that had ever played it safe.
38:09So I said yes.
38:11Flynn looked at our joined hands, raised an eyebrow, pulled me to my feet, and walked toward the door.
38:16The room erupted behind us.
38:18No way!
38:18Is that actually Flynn?
38:20Am I that drunk?
38:21Stop!
38:22Sean's voice cut through all of it.
38:23He was still seated.
38:25Just wanted to say, let 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 and walked out the door before 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 were.
38:51The girl sputtered for ten seconds, face red, and said nothing.
38:54Flynn bit the filter of a cigarette and lit it.
38:57Leaned back into the cushion, slid the metal lighter onto the table with a small, dismissive click.
39:02Tossed her own words back at her.
39:05Buzzkiller.
39:05I stared at him.
39:06Couldn't blink.
39:07He was Sean's friend.
39:08I hadn't expected him to say a word.
39:10I was so thrown that I missed the three minutes entirely.
39:13By the time Sean sat back down beside me, I had already opened my phone and deleted his contact.
39:19He looked at me, flat.
39:21What is this?
39:24What I told you.
39:25We're done.
39:26I was about to block his number when he pressed down on my hand.
39:29Are we really doing this?
39:32Over a game?
39:33How far are you planning to take this?
39:35If you'd kiss someone on a dare, I wouldn't care at all.
39:37He knew my personality.
39:39He'd always known I wouldn't push back.
39:41That's why he never worried.
39:43Then the noise from across the room spiked.
39:45Flynn had drawn the most loaded dare in the deck.
39:47Take anyone here home for the night?
39:49One of the guys grinned and added,
39:51Like, actually check into a hotel?
39:53That kind?
39:56Flynn didn't move at first.
39:58Someone who knew him jumped in.
39:59Flynn's been celibate for years, man.
40:02Just take the drink penalty and move on.
40:05Nobody expected anything different.
40:07Most people who drew this one just laughed it off.
40:10Wait.
40:10Flynn spoke.
40:11He raised his eyes and looked straight at me.
40:14Everyone watched him stand, unhurried, deliberate, and walk to where I was sitting.
40:18He held out his hand, smiled like he could make you forget your own name.
40:22What do you say?
40:23Want to give it a shot tonight?
40:24Sean narrowed his eyes at Flynn, smiled easily.
40:27You must be drunk.
40:29Let me send someone to take you home.
40:31That's my girlfriend, man.
40:32The air tasted like smoke and static.
40:35Flynn glanced at Sean, completely unbothered.
40:38So?
40:40It's just a game.
40:42Don't be such a buzzkill, Sean.
40:43Sean's expression didn't shift.
40:45Oh, I'm not worried.
40:46She's too conservative.
40:47She won't say yes.
40:48I'm turning you down on her behalf.
40:50Then I placed my hand in Flynn's palm.
40:52Okay.
40:53Sean's smile froze on his face.
40:55I thought about every time someone on campus called me the good girl.
40:59The alcohol pushed back against every version of myself that had ever played it safe.
41:03So I said yes.
41:04Flynn looked at our joined hands, raised an eyebrow, pulled me to my feet, and walked toward the door.
41:09The room erupted behind us.
41:11No way!
41:11Is that actually Flynn?
41:13Am I that drunk?
41:14Stop!
41:15Sean's voice cut through all of it.
41:16He was still seated.
41:18Just wanted to say, let me know which hotel.
41:21I'll send over some protection.
41:23I stepped in before Flynn could respond.
41:26That's okay.
41:27Worrying about your ex's hookups?
41:29That's a little pathetic, Sean.
41:30Sorry.
41:31I don't really do clingy.
41:33I grabbed Flynn's hand and walked out the door before Sean's expression could finish curdling.
41:39I, Gregor Falcone, Alpha of the Black Moon Pack, swear before the Moon Goddess, reject Serena as my mate.
41:45I, Serena, Packless Omega, accept Gregor Falcone's rejection.
41:49Or go wandering with your disgraced Omega mother.
41:52You're an Omega, rejected by father.
41:54You don't even have a place to stay.
41:55My partner, Esther, is pregnant.
41:58Heir of the Falcone family will be born next spring.
42:00So you need an ally.
42:01Because we share the same enemy.
42:03High concentration Akoni extract.
42:05You mean I should volunteer to be their servant?
42:08The more humble you are, the less they'll guard against you.
42:11I, Gregor Falcone, Alpha of the Black Moon Pack, swear before the Moon Goddess, reject Serena as my mate.
42:18I, Serena, Packless Omega, accept Gregor Falcone's rejection.
42:23Liva, come here.
42:25Stay with your father.
42:26Or go wandering with your disgraced Omega mother.
42:39Father, I will always be your only daughter.
42:54Liva, you, you don't want your mother anymore?
42:57What good are you?
42:59You're an Omega, rejected by father.
43:02Can you let me keep living in this, Manon?
43:04You don't even have a place to stay.
43:17In this family, the more obedient someone is, the less he guards against them.
43:34Don't pretend.
43:35I know you sneak out to see your Omega mother every Tuesday night.
43:39I can have that shithole restaurant of hers shut down by the health department tomorrow.
43:46Once I give birth to a pure-blood heir, the entire Falcone family will belong to my child.
43:52As for you, an Omega Waste who can't even shift, you'll be on welfare with your old hag mother soon
43:58enough.
44:14That's if you can carry it to term.
44:38I can carry it to term.
45:05Welcome, what can I get you?
45:12Call me when you're ready.
45:44Okay.
45:45Okay, wait for me. I will never let you suffer again.
46:27Your father and that Chicago she-wolf aren't enemies you can take on alone. They have the entire Dark Creek
46:32pack behind them. Your father may be an alcoholic, but his guard has never dropped. And Esther is an old
46:38fox. She survived three families by never trusting anyone.
46:44So?
46:46So you need an ally.
46:53High-concentration acony extract. Five times stronger than the dried flowers you found in your father's study. Fully metabolized in
46:59two hours. No trace left on cup walls.
47:02Why are you helping me?
47:04Because we share the same enemy. Your father brought my uncle in from Chicago. They plotted to steal my fortune.
47:11I've been a prisoner here for three years. Injected with acumen every day. Look at these scars. They wanted to
47:16turn me into a vegetable. Never able to shift. Never able to go home.
47:20You want to go back to Chicago?
47:22I'm gonna take back my family. And you're gonna take down your father. Our goals are on the same path.
47:32Esther is too cautious. She'll never let me near her food or drinks.
47:36Then make them lower their guard.
47:38Your father needs a reason to let you stay in the Manon. Not as a daughter, but as a servant.
47:42Omega offspring can voluntarily renounce their inheritance and apply to be lowly family servants. It's a gray area in pack
47:49law. Rarely 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. Serve them tea and coffee, clean their rooms, one
48:03month, two months. When Esther thinks you're nothing but a clawless waste, she won't even glance at what you put
48:09in her cup. You have my word. I will stand up and protect you.
48:16Deal.
48:31On this wonderful night, I have a family announcement to make. My partner, Esther, is pregnant. The pure blood heir
48:39of the Falcone family will be born next spring.
49:02I can have Moonfall Restaurant blacklisted by the health department tomorrow if you get the hell out of this manor.
49:08So what you're saying is, as 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.
49:58Call me when you're ready.
50:05Call me when Iine
50:21Okay, wait for me. I will never let you suffer again.
50:29Call me on日s...
51:04Your father and that Chicago she-wolf aren't enemies you can take on alone.
51:08They have the entire Dark Creek pack behind them.
51:10Your father may be an alcoholic, but his guard has never dropped.
51:14And Esther is an old fox. She survived three families by never trusting anyone.
