Short filmTranscript
00:02To survive, three days after the funeral, I seduced his brother at his coffin.
00:09His fingers sank into my jaw, his thumb dragged across my lip.
00:13If you're the one coming to me, why are you shaking?
00:16Candlelight flickered. I wore only thin morning linen, my back pressed to cold oak.
00:21I was watching the snow outside. It's cold.
00:24Fragile thing. Focus.
00:28The man above me bit out, impatient.
00:30Cathy.
00:31My voice stayed steady.
00:32Then be rougher. Warm me up.
00:35He froze for half a heartbeat, clearly surprised that I dared.
00:38Then he cupped the back of my head firmly, and kissed me deeper and harder.
00:42The coffin agased my back was cold, but his palm against my chest was hot.
00:47I climbed onto his shoulders, letting my morning gown slip down one arm.
00:51Then I felt his teeth graze the pulse point in my throat, or ragged breathing filled the hall.
00:55Candlelight threw our tangled shadows across the coffin bed.
00:59I needed a child.
01:00One Luna Morrigan would believe was the last bloodline of her dead eldest son.
01:04I needed to survive.
01:05In fact, I lied.
01:06I trembled because I was just reborn.
01:08In my first life, Silverstone Pack sent me to Blackstone as a peace bride.
01:13My maid Alistair died three days after our wedding.
01:15He and his father fell in battle, slain by my own people.
01:19Three months later, his mother Luna Morrigan gave me poisoned wine in the same hall.
01:24Daughter of the enemy.
01:25A cursed widow.
01:27Your death will break the alliance and spark war.
01:30My soul was trapped.
01:31Forced to watch it all, I stared at Cassian, the very man pinning me against his brother's coffin.
01:37For three years, he drowned Silverstone in blood, forcing all packs to bow to his womb.
01:42I watched him point a dagger at his own mother's throat for a grey-eyed shepherd girl.
01:47As they clashed, the family locket flew right through my ghostly heart.
01:50Then light swallowed everything.
01:52I woke up in the morning hall.
01:54In three months, the silver cup would reappear.
01:57I needed bear a baby as soon as possible.
01:59That night after, I tempted him in every place we met.
02:03The study, the garden, my side chamber, by the bookshelf, and the snow, beside Alistair's coffin.
02:10I memorized his scent, learned when his guard slipped, and learned to wrap my legs tight,
02:16driving him to take me with desperate force.
02:18Every time he fell asleep beside me, I would take out a moonbloom leaf and press it to my belly.
02:23I'd close my eyes, and pray in silence.
02:26Moon goddess above, tell me the result.
02:30After a moth, I opened my eyes to see the moonbloom leaf glowing silver in the moonlight.
02:35The poison cup arrived as I sat beside Alistair's coffin.
02:38Luna Morrigan wore morning black and held the silver cup.
02:43Alistair has been gone three months.
02:45Now it's time you joined him.
02:47The liquid in the cup was clear.
02:48I knew the taste well.
02:50I can't.
02:51I knelt, my hand moving to my stomach.
02:54I carry his child.
02:56Her hand froze.
02:57Impossible.
02:58Alistair never marked you before his death.
03:01He marked me.
03:02I looked up, meeting her eyes directly.
03:05Our wedding night.
03:07Don't you remember?
03:08I was gambling.
03:09Gambling that a mother would choose to believe her son had left behind blood.
03:13Gambling that she would not kill her own grandchild right now.
03:16She stared at me for a long time.
03:20Summon the moon priest.
03:23Verify, priest.
03:25Verify whether the child in her womb carries my son's blood.
03:29Madam Facilia.
03:32Swear by the moon goddess and any lie shall find no shelter under her gaze.
03:38The priest held the moonbloom leaf, his gaze cold and piercing.
03:42Witnessed by the moon goddess.
03:43I, Cassilia Silverstone, swear that the child in my womb is blackstone blood.
03:48Luna Morius' grandchild.
03:50The moonbloom leaf in the priest's hand burst into silver light.
03:53He bowed his head to Luna Morrigan.
03:55The moonbloom tree confirms.
03:57It is true.
03:58Luna Morrigan's eyes narrowed upon me.
03:59How conveniently time this child's arrival is.
04:02I held my breath.
04:03Go.
04:04Rest.
04:05I stood up, my legs trembling.
04:07But I steadied myself.
04:08Walked calmly out of the morning hall.
04:10I stepped into the sunlit corridor.
04:13For the first time, the air tasted sweet.
04:15Then darkness crashed over me.
04:18Suffocation seized my throat.
04:20You calculated me.
04:22Cassian pinned him against a corridor pillar.
04:24His fingers iron around my neck.
04:26Not a question, but a verdict.
04:28His eyes blazed with the same fury I'd seen in my past life.
04:32Three months.
04:33You schemed to approach me.
04:35All for this child.
04:40My back pressed against the cold pillar.
04:43Yes.
04:44I looked up at him.
04:45He faltered.
04:46Perhaps he had expected denial.
04:49Wait for death.
04:51Or fight to live.
04:53Which would you choose?
04:56You expect me to bow quietly to my fate.
04:59I cut him off.
05:00You know I was the Silverstones' sacrifice.
05:03You know I had nowhere to run.
05:04You know your mother, Luna Morian.
05:06Once the war between Blackstone and Silverstone fully abropes.
05:09She'll kill me to set a battle banner.
05:11You know-
05:12You know nothing.
05:16You think I watched coldly from the side?
05:18You have no idea what merciful arrangement I made for you.
05:22I froze.
05:23Fine.
05:23He stared at me.
05:24Since you deem me an accomplice.
05:28Let me show you what an accomplice is capable of.
05:31He seized my wrist.
05:34Dragged me down the corridor.
05:38I fell onto the bed.
05:40His shadow fell over.
05:41He breathed against my ear.
05:43You schemed against me.
05:44Then scheme this through to the end.
05:46His teeth grazing my earlobe.
05:50His teeth sank into my shoulder.
05:55My nails raked deep furrows down his back.
05:58He drove into me like a man unraveling.
06:06That night, he had no gentleness left.
06:09Yet his hands held my belly with desperate tenderness.
06:13Near dawn, he fell asleep.
06:15In sleep, he looked almost harmless.
06:17Moonlight poured through the window.
06:19Gilding his lashes.
06:21Softening the hard lines of his face.
06:26I rose quietly.
06:29Where are you going?
06:33Where are you going?
06:34His voice came from behind me.
06:37Sharp and cold.
06:38Luna Moralek will send someone to check.
06:40I did not turn.
06:43I can't be found here.
06:46I prepared a deathfall straight for you.
06:48He sat up in bed.
06:49A cabin in the north.
06:51A new name.
06:52His eyes bright in the darkness.
06:53You could have lived freely.
06:55Not as my brother's widow.
06:56Not as...
06:58Not as the woman who schemed against me.
07:00I walked over.
07:01His voice was low.
07:02Almost hollow.
07:03Cassian.
07:04His eyes bright in the darkness.
07:06Are you going to planning to defy your mother, Luna Morim?
07:09To set me free?
07:11He looked at me for a long time.
07:13Come here.
07:14He pulled my hand.
07:15Dragged me into his arms.
07:16I plan to hide you away.
07:18His heartbeat was fast.
07:19Matching mine.
07:21Make you mine.
07:23And mine alone.
07:49The Blackstone's secret draft.
07:53False death.
07:54New identity.
07:56You will be mine.
07:58Not my brother's widow.
07:59Not Blackstone's young mistress.
08:01Just...
08:02He lowered his head.
08:03Kissed my forehead.
08:05Mine.
08:06Mistress in the dark.
08:11Cassian.
08:21This is your mercy.
08:23What?
08:24False death.
08:25New identity.
08:27Hidden away.
08:28To be your secret mistress.
08:31Cecilia.
08:34Cecilia.
08:35What difference is there from waiting to die?
08:37I grabbed my clothes, walked toward the door.
08:39The difference is, you would live.
08:42His voice chased from behind.
08:43I stopped at the door, hand on the latch.
08:46Live as your pet, until I die unknown.
08:50I pulled the door open and walked out.
08:55Morning light stabbed my eyes.
09:03After that day, Cassian left for battle.
09:08Luna Morrigan never spoke of the poisoned cup again.
09:20Yet by her silent command, the servants ignored all my requests for daily necessities.
09:28Cold leftovers.
09:30Thin worn winter clothes.
09:32Time passed, day by day.
09:34I needed a new path.
09:36I began appearing at Luna Morrigan's side.
09:39Morning herbal tea.
09:41Afternoon walks.
09:43Evening dinner.
09:44I did not speak.
09:45Only kept her company.
09:47One week passed.
09:49Two weeks passed.
09:51One day, she spoke to me.
09:56You are a quiet child.
10:00Quieter than I thought.
10:03Also smarter than I thought.
10:06I was gambling.
10:07Gambling on a grieving mother's need to fill the void left by her lost sons.
10:11Cecilia, you are finding a way to live.
10:15My heart raced, but I only nodded.
10:17Prove your worth to me.
10:22Her eyes hardened into icy slits.
10:26Cassian needs a mate.
10:33Help him pick a suitable one.
10:35I lowered my eyes.
10:40Yes, Lunar Moria.
10:45The day Cassian returned, I waited for him at the manor gates.
10:49He led a column of blackstone wolf warriors.
10:51A long line of war spoils trailing behind him.
10:54Cassian, on horseback.
10:56His gaze swept over the crowd, locked onto mine.
10:58Then drifted down to my faintly rounded belly.
11:01Then he rode past me without a word.
11:04I stepped forward to block his path.
11:08Cecilia.
11:09Long time no see.
11:10I have a surprise for you.
11:12Tomorrow.
11:13The back garden.
11:16What surprise?
11:17Come and you'll know.
11:18He straightened.
11:19Lips pressed thin, deigning to nod.
11:21I exhaled.
11:22He had agreed.
11:23Then he pointed to a carriage behind him.
11:25Find her some work.
11:26I picked her up on the road.
11:28She knows sheep.
11:31I turned.
11:33The carriage curtain lifted.
11:35A grey-eyed girl looked at me.
11:36Timid.
11:37My blood turned to ice.
11:39Aayla.
11:40The shepherd girl from my first life.
11:44Of course, Cassius brings back such a pretty girl.
11:47She must be well arranged.
11:48Cassian's expression turned playful as he watched me.
11:51Was this.
11:52His warning not to mistreat Aayla.
11:54She must be his true love from his past life.
11:56I'll arrange it personally.
11:58How about some simple banquet service work?
12:04Cassian dropped a...
12:06Whatever.
12:07...and left.
12:10The next day, Cassian came to the back garden.
12:14He wore a deep blue formal coat.
12:16His hair tied back.
12:17He smiled.
12:19Striding toward me with a bouquet of white roses.
12:22He looked at me.
12:23Lips curving.
12:24His gaze making my heart skip.
12:26Then he looked past my shoulder.
12:29Then he glanced past my shoulder.
12:31Wolf maidens gathered.
12:33Silk.
12:34Gems.
12:35Laughter.
12:35All around.
12:37Twelve pairs of eyes fixed eagerly on him.
12:40His steps faltered.
12:42Then the smile froze on his face.
12:45Luna Morgan stepped out from the pavilion.
12:48Satisfaction rare on her features.
12:52Well done.
12:53You've made thorough arrangements.
12:56Cassian even got all dressed up.
12:58He's brought gifts to please the ladies.
13:02Cassian's expression changed.
13:04Excuse us for a moment.
13:05He sees my hand.
13:07Dragging into the shadow of a corral pearl.
13:09White rose petals crushed between his fingers.
13:14This is your carefully compared surprise.
13:16Bringing me here to pick a noble mate.
13:21This was Luna Moraine's demise.
13:25He stared at me.
13:26Eyes burning.
13:27Then he laughed dangerously.
13:29Fine.
13:30Fine.
13:31Fine.
13:32Fine.
13:33Fine.
13:33Fine.
13:36Cassian pulled me back to the garden center.
13:39Stopping before the assembled guests.
13:43Mom.
13:44There is already someone in my heart.
13:46He gripped my hand tightly.
13:48I struggled.
13:50Tried to shake him off.
13:51But he would not release.
13:53Do not jest.
13:56No jest.
13:57My heart pounded wildly.
13:59I feared he would speak madness.
14:01I wrenched at his fingers with all my strength.
14:04His hand finally torn from mine.
14:06His eyes on me.
14:08The one I desire...
14:10is her.
14:12All gazes followed his pointing finger.
14:14To me...
14:15I froze.
14:17Screaming inwardly.
14:19Crash behind me.
14:20Porcelain shattered.
14:21I turned.
14:22Bowls and plates scattered across the floor.
14:26Who is this girl?
14:28Cassian fell silent.
14:30Aayla only looked at him timid.
14:33Cecilia.
14:34You tell me.
14:35Luna Morrigan's voice cut.
14:36A shepherd girl I brought back.
14:38Cassian spoke suddenly.
14:42Aayla.
14:44Luna Morrigan's expression shifted.
14:46She looked past me.
14:47The girl behind me.
14:49A lowborn woman who bewitches Blackstone's future alpha should die.
14:56I could not tell which of us she meant.
15:04Aayla is my beloved.
15:07I exhaled.
15:08My heartbeat dropped from my throat back to my chest.
15:11He had chosen her.
15:12Just as in the first life, history was repeating itself.
15:15And I was standing beside.
15:17Luna Morrigan's expression did not change.
15:20She only waved her hand.
15:21The ball is dismissed.
15:24The twelve wolf maidens exchanged glances.
15:27Then lowered their heads and withdrew.
15:30Aayla remained standing.
15:31Eyes on the shattered porcelain.
15:33You stay.
15:35And you.
15:37She did not look at me.
15:38She looked at Aayla.
15:39The door closed behind us.
15:43Luna Morrigan sat in the master's seat.
15:47Cassian stood.
15:48Aayla knelt.
15:49I stood by the Corridor Pillar.
15:52Kill her.
15:53Tonight.
15:55Who?
15:55The Shepard Girl.
15:58Impossible.
16:01Cassian, you are the future alpha.
16:03Your mate must be the Pax Luna, not some roadside Shepard Girl.
16:07My mate.
16:08I choose myself.
16:10You choose.
16:13Do you choose a mate or do you choose rebellion?
16:17Cassian's shoulders tensed.
16:19I knew this stance.
16:21In my first life, before he pressed the dagger to her throat, he had stood just so.
16:29You're obsessed with control.
16:31When will it end?
16:32When you become alpha.
16:34I am alpha now.
16:35You are merely the heir.
16:37Since your father died, since your brother died, until I allow it, you are nothing but Cassian, my son.
16:44The heir falls.
16:46Aayla's knees trembled.
16:47I looked at her, remembering myself kneeling in the morning hall.
16:50We were both chips, both tools.
16:53I choose the one I desire as my mate.
16:56She cannot become Luna.
16:58I do not need Luna.
17:00Every alpha needs a Luna.
17:02Otherwise, the Pax splits, bleeds, falls to...
17:05Falls to what?
17:06He cut through her words.
17:07Like father?
17:08Like brother?
17:09Dying under silverstone blades?
17:11Her expression finally changed.
17:13You hate me, because you believe I drove them to their deaths.
17:17Did you not?
17:18They chose the battlefield themselves, not I.
17:21Cassian looked at her for a long time.
17:24Then he glanced at me.
17:26He turned, took Aayla's hand.
17:29She will not die, unless you kill me first.
17:32Cassian passed by me without another look.
17:35You saw?
17:37This is the future alpha.
17:40Weak, bewitched, taken by...
17:42By what?
17:43She paused.
17:44She only waved her hand, dismissing me.
17:47As I turned, I heard her whisper,
17:49By love.
17:53After that night, Cassian brought Aayla into his quarters.
17:57I heard he gave her the finest chamber, silk gowns, and ate with him.
18:01Luna Morrigan said nothing.
18:03She was waiting.
18:05As was I.
18:06My belly grew rounder.
18:08The moonbloom leaf glowed in my palm.
18:12The priest pronounced the child healthy.
18:14The bloodline pure.
18:16But she only nodded.
18:17Her eyes on the window toward Cassian's quarters.
18:22Cecilia, how long do you think Aayla will live?
18:25My hand stilled.
18:26Once, Alistair hated me, because I forced him to marry a stranger.
18:31You.
18:32But I was right.
18:34But I was right.
18:34At least this preserved his bloodline.
18:36Don't you agree?
18:37Now, Cassian hates me.
18:40Now, Cassian hates me.
18:41History repeats.
18:42What should I do?
18:44I looked at her.
18:45What do you wish me to do?
18:47She smiled.
18:48The same smile when she handed me the poisoned wine before.
18:52She produced the same silver cup.
18:54I was not surprised.
18:56I was not surprised.
18:57Aayla must die, or you join her, after you deliver the child.
19:05I cannot kill an innocent.
19:07Then you are useless.
19:10Useless people should not consume Blackstone's resources.
19:13After she left, the poisoned cup remained on the table.
19:17My days returned to what they had been.
19:19Cold meals, thin clothes, the servant's contempt.
19:23This time, I knew it was Luna Morrigan's order.
19:26She was forcing me to move against Aayla.
19:28I could not.
19:30Harming the innocent was not my way.
19:32Let alone, Aayla was Cassian's chosen beloved.
19:35If harm came to Aayla, in the future he would make me pay in blood.
19:39Yet I could not defy Luna Morrigan.
19:41If I did not act against Aayla, she would make my life unbearable.
19:45What could I do?
19:47Trapped between the two of them, I have no path to survival.
19:50Then, the thought struck.
19:52Leave this place.
19:53No longer be the enemy's daughter, nor the widow who brought curse upon the family heir.
19:58But how to escape the heavily guarded Blackstone Manor?
20:01I needed the death false draft.
20:04Cassian had spoken of it.
20:05I infiltrated Cassian's quarters.
20:11A few maids passed.
20:13I hid behind a corridor pillar.
20:16Aayla is so fortunate.
20:18Prince Cassian visits her every night.
20:20I watched Cassian enter Aayla's chamber.
20:22The lamp burned for a long while.
20:25Good.
20:26Their world of two.
20:27Time for me.
20:29Study.
20:30Hidden compartment.
20:30Secret chamber.
20:32Secret chamber.
20:33I searched every place.
20:34At last I found a plain white porcelain bottle by his bed.
20:38My hands trembled as I opened it.
20:40The smell was sharp, but I could not tell if it was what I need.
20:44I took out the moonbloom leaf.
20:46Pressed it to the bottle.
20:47Closed my eyes.
20:49Moonbloom tree above.
20:50Reveal the truth.
20:52The leaf.
20:52Glowed images.
20:53Flooded in.
20:54Not the draft ingredients.
20:56Cassian.
20:57Standing bathed in the moonlight.
20:59Leaf in hand.
21:00Eyes closed.
21:02Murmuring.
21:02The vision shifted.
21:04He looked at me.
21:05In the morning hall.
21:06In the study.
21:07In the garden.
21:08His heart racing.
21:10His temperature rising.
21:11His wolf spirit restless.
21:13Not Aayla.
21:14Me.
21:19Every time he entered Aayla's chamber, he stood at the window, looking toward my direction.
21:25Every time he said, my beloved.
21:27His fingers clenched.
21:29As if enduring pain.
21:31The moonbloom leaf does not lie.
21:34You saw.
21:35My eyes flew open.
21:38You came to steal the death false drought?
21:40I stepped back.
21:41My spine hitting the wall.
21:44Uncertain if it was real?
21:46Luna ordered me to kill Aayla or die with her.
21:49He entered.
21:50Closed the door.
21:52Then die.
21:54False death.
21:55I will help you.
21:57Why?
21:58Why help me?
21:59He approached.
22:00Hand covering mine on the leaf.
22:01Because I love you.
22:02The moonbloom tree bears witness.
22:04The moonbloom leaf burst into light.
22:07He drew closer.
22:08Hands on my shoulders.
22:10The death false drought.
22:10The northern cabin.
22:12New identity.
22:12Freedom.
22:12You still want me as your secret mistress?
22:14Never.
22:15It's only temporary.
22:16Until I'm free of my mother's coercion.
22:18Until she is no longer a threat to you.
22:20One hand tangled in my hair.
22:21The other took the porcelain bottle from my grasp.
22:24The real draft is in a safer place.
22:26In three days.
22:27It is mother's birthday banquet.
22:29I'll slip it to you amid the chaos.
22:32Why help me?
22:34He paused.
22:35Did not turn.
22:36Because...
22:36You are mine.
22:41The morning of the banquet.
22:42Luna summoned me at the tower.
22:44Cecilia.
22:46You have been restless these days.
22:48I said nothing.
22:50My heart tightened.
22:51Cassian and you.
22:52Did you think I did not know?
22:54My blood turned to ice.
22:56Isla is merely a shield.
22:57He thinks he has won.
22:59But he is only my son.
23:01Luna Morrigan.
23:01I do not understand.
23:02What misunderstand-
23:03What misunderstanding that my second son fell for his elder brother's widow and got her with child?
23:08I collapsed.
23:09But I clung to hope.
23:11The child's voice is your grandchild.
23:14Enemy blood.
23:15Bastard born of adultery.
23:18Unfit to taint the family line.
23:19She waved her hand.
23:21Deal with her.
23:24The banquet is in full wish tonight.
23:26Let us stoke the flames further.
23:28Fire spread beyond the tower window.
23:30I fell to the tower floor.
23:32Watching her turn to leave.
23:33I shielded my belly.
23:35My child was only three months.
23:36The door burst open.
23:38Cassian stood in the doorway.
23:39Blood stricken his face.
23:41Not his.
23:42Behind him lay two fallen warriors.
23:44God.
23:44He seized and dragged me through burning corridors.
23:47Heat lifted our backs.
23:48Wooden beams crashed for Luna.
23:53The death falls Drost.
23:55Drink it now.
23:56I'll carry you out and bury you on the edge of the manor.
23:59Wait three days.
24:00I'll come dig you up.
24:01He pressed a porcelain bottle into my hand.
24:03My hand shook around the bottle.
24:05Why should I trust you?
24:06You may not too.
24:07But you have no choice.
24:11Luna knows everything.
24:13She knows Isla is a fraud.
24:14Knows the child is mine.
24:15Knows-
24:16He paused.
24:19Knows I love you.
24:21The bottle burned in my palm.
24:23Drink.
24:24Or die.
24:25Fire swallowed the tower.
24:27Cassian's palm burned hot.
24:28The bottle in my hand felt cold.
24:30I pulled the stopper.
24:32The smell was sharp.
24:33I tilted my head back and drank it all.
24:35The liquid scorched my throat.
24:37Bitterness flooded my mouth.
24:38Then numbness spread from my tongue to my lens.
24:40My vision blurred.
24:41His face swam amid the firelight.
24:43Lie down.
24:44He pressed me onto the burning cliff.
24:45Hold your breath.
24:46Three days.
24:47I will come for you.
24:49He bent to press one last kiss to my forehead.
24:51What mine?
24:52Darkness swallowed my consciousness.
24:54I heard beams crash.
24:55His footsteps fade.
24:57And Luna Morgan's cold laughter.
24:59Beyond the fire.
25:02Darkness.
25:03Suppocation.
25:04The weight of earth pressed my chest.
25:06I opened my eyes and my mouth to scream.
25:09But I couldn't.
25:11I clawed upward into my fingertips touching cold air.
25:16A hand seized me.
25:17Azura pulled me out behind him.
25:19Moonlight blinded.
25:20Cassian knelt at the grave's edge.
25:21Mud caked.
25:22Eyes bloodshot.
25:24Behind him stretched the northern border wasteland.
25:26I looked down at my belly.
25:27The swell remained.
25:29Trembling.
25:29I touched it and felt a faint flutter.
25:32The child lived.
25:33Cassian.
25:34Don't speak.
25:35He lifted me onto the horse's back.
25:37Luna believes you dead.
25:39Wrapped me in his cloak.
25:40Now, you are a dead woman.
25:42The horse galloped north.
25:43I looked back.
25:47Blackstone Manor left behind us.
25:50The northern cabin.
25:52A new identity.
25:54Freedom.
25:55I leaned against his back and smelled blood.
25:58To get me out.
25:59Why are you wounded?
26:00How many had he killed?
26:01It did matter.
26:02But I was too tired.
26:04It doesn't matter.
26:06The horse stopped before dawn.
26:08A wooden cabin.
26:09Embers dying in the hearth.
26:11He placed me on the bed.
26:12Turned to tend his wounds.
26:15Cassian.
26:16Is this prison?
26:18Or freedom?
26:19Both.
26:20Then laughed.
26:21The door locked.
26:23The cabin was more comfortable than expected.
26:26Hearth.
26:26Blankets.
26:27And stored food.
26:28Beyond the window lay a frozen wasteland.
26:31Wolf howls.
26:33Echoing through the night.
26:34Cassian came every three days.
26:36He brought medicine.
26:37Food.
26:38And books.
26:39He never touched me.
26:40Only sat by the hearth.
26:42Watching my belly grow rounder by the day.
26:45A name for the child.
26:46Not yet chosen.
26:50If a boy.
26:51Perhaps.
26:53Not yours.
26:54His eyes darkened.
26:55Like the moon hidden by clouds.
26:58I know.
27:00He rose.
27:01Walked to the door.
27:01Luna is purging dissenters.
27:04I must return.
27:05How long?
27:06Until she no longer suspects.
27:08Or until her suspicion costs nothing.
27:12He left.
27:13I counted days.
27:15Seven.
27:16Fourteen.
27:18Twenty-one.
27:19The food dwindled.
27:20The medicine ran out.
27:23One snowy night.
27:24Pain flared in my belly.
27:27The lock clipped open from outside.
27:29It was not Cassian who entered.
27:32A border wanderer.
27:33Drawn by the cabin's smoke.
27:35He saw me.
27:36Then my belly.
27:37His eyes were greed.
27:39Silver wolf blood glowed in the dark.
27:42My pupils turning silver.
27:46Big fortune.
27:47He raised his hunting knife.
27:49For my baby.
27:50I seized the fire tongs.
27:52The struggle was weak.
27:54He fell.
27:56Blood soaked the floor red.
27:57I dragged his corpse outside.
27:59Then returned to find the pain worsening.
28:01I pressed moon bloom leaf to my belly.
28:04Closed my eyes.
28:05Prayed.
28:06The leaf glowed.
28:08The pain eased.
28:10By dawn.
28:11I made a decision.
28:12I packed my belongings.
28:14Took all the medicine.
28:15And walked north.
28:16Three days later.
28:18I reached a border town.
28:20A mixed land.
28:21Where wolves traded with other races.
28:23I hung out my sign.
28:25Healer.
28:26I had studied medicine.
28:28And my skills are peerless.
28:30But no one came for treatment.
28:32Until a blood soaked wolf warrior.
28:35Collapsed at my door.
28:39He collapsed at the clinic door.
28:41I dragged him inside and cut open his armor.
28:45Wounds covered his body.
28:46The deadliest lay at the back of his skull.
28:49Blunt force trauma.
28:51A depressed fracture.
28:52I spent the night in surgery.
28:55He woke up three days later.
28:57Blue eyes empty.
29:01Who are you?
29:02Healer.
29:04Who am I?
29:05I froze amnesia.
29:08Retrograde memory loss from skull damage.
29:10I do not know.
29:11Only that you collapsed at my door.
29:14He looked down at his hands.
29:16Large.
29:17Rough.
29:18Warrior's hands.
29:19He tried to make a fist.
29:22I am a warrior.
29:24It would seem so.
29:25He was silent for a long time.
29:27Then looked at me.
29:28Eyes suddenly soft.
29:30You saved me.
29:31Yes.
29:33Why?
29:34Because you collapsed at my door.
29:36He laughed.
29:37That pure, simple laugh made me freeze.
29:42I will repay you.
29:43With my life.
29:45He reached out.
29:46Gently touched my rounded belly.
29:48He stayed.
29:49Not as patient as guard.
29:51He said he would repay.
29:52So he never left my side.
29:54I treated patience.
29:56He stood at the door like a statue.
29:59Someone tried to cheat on payment.
30:00One look from him.
30:02And they paid obediently.
30:05Nights.
30:06I studied herbs.
30:07He sat by the hearth.
30:09Polishing an old sword.
30:10A name for the child?
30:12He asked suddenly.
30:13No.
30:15Why?
30:18Not yet chosen.
30:23He sat down the sword and came to my side.
30:26He knelt.
30:27His eyes level with mine.
30:29The gesture made my heart skip.
30:30Cassian never knelt.
30:31He always looked down.
30:33May I suggest one?
30:34He asked.
30:36For temporary use.
30:40Go ahead.
30:41He placed his hand gently on my belly.
30:43The child moved.
30:44Kicked his palm.
30:45He laughed.
30:47Star.
30:47Little star for temporary use.
30:50I turned away.
30:51Afraid he would see my tears.
30:54Leah.
30:54You may call me by this new name from now on.
30:57He smiled and thought for a while.
30:59Liam.
31:00After yours.
31:03Blackstone Manor.
31:05Cassian stood in a pool of blood.
31:07Luna Morrigan was locked in the tower.
31:09Dissenting elders were hanged at the gates.
31:11He had spent three months purging all opposition in blood.
31:14He entered the study.
31:15A map hung on the wall.
31:17The border town circled in red.
31:19Found her?
31:20He asked the shadow.
31:21No, Alpha.
31:22The north is too vast.
31:24She may have...
31:25Continue searching.
31:27He sat.
31:28Fingers tapping the desk.
31:29My brother's death.
31:31What did the investigation find?
31:33He said suddenly.
31:35The shadow was silent.
31:37Speak.
31:37The battlefield that year.
31:39Traces of a third party.
31:41Not Silverstone.
31:43Not Blackstone.
31:44Someone did not want the air to come back.
31:47Cassian's fingers stopped.
31:48Continue the investigation.
31:50After the door closed.
31:52He took out a plain white porcelain bottle.
31:54Inside lay a moon bloom leaf.
31:56Carved with a name.
31:57Cecilia.
31:58You are mine.
32:00He said to the empty room.
32:01Dead or not.
32:04The border town's winter passed.
32:06Liam learned to identify herbs.
32:08To brew medicines.
32:09To gently massage my shoulders when I grew tired.
32:12You had nightmares again last night.
32:14Calling a name.
32:16What name?
32:18Cassian.
32:20Somewhat familiar to me.
32:22My hand stilled.
32:23Was he your husband?
32:25He asked concernedly.
32:27No.
32:28Did he hurt you?
32:30I looked at him.
32:31This man had lost his memory.
32:32Yet he showed such fatherly tenderness toward my baby.
32:35If I told him the whole truth, would he leave?
32:37Would he lock me away like Cassian?
32:39He is the past.
32:41Unimportant.
32:42Liam looked at me long.
32:44Then reached out, gently wiped my tear.
32:46I will protect you and little star.
32:49No matter what the past holds, your future is with me.
32:52He kissed my forehead.
32:54Like a family.
32:55I closed my eyes.
32:57Outside, a black horse halted at the corner.
32:59Its rider cloaked in blackstone pack hues.
33:02I smelled it.
33:03Black cedar.
33:04Blood.
33:05And Cassian.
33:06I pushed Liam away.
33:08Seized the moon bloom leaf.
33:09Glowed in my palm.
33:10Warning.
33:11We must leave.
33:12I told Liam.
33:13Out the back door!
33:15Why?
33:16Just go!
33:20The door burst open.
33:22Cassian stood in the doorway.
33:23Thinner than three months passed.
33:25Colder.
33:25He looked at me.
33:26At my belly.
33:27Then at Liam.
33:28You found a new guard.
33:29A replacement, eh?
33:31He is not!
33:32Liam stepped before me without hesitation.
33:34Cassian's gaze shifted from ice to scrutiny.
33:37He stared at Liam's face.
33:38An aged, battle-worn mirror.
33:40My brother.
33:41Liam frowned.
33:42What are you calling me?
33:43Cassian stepped forward.
33:44Alistair.
33:46Alistair Blackstone!
33:47Liam shook his head.
33:48You are familiar, but I do not remember.
33:51Impossible!
33:52I saw you die!
33:54Speak.
33:55Who are you?
33:56Why wear his face?
33:57Cassian!
33:58He has lost his memory!
33:59He remembers nothing!
34:01Cassian looked at me, too much in his gaze anger, pain, and fear.
34:06You defend him!
34:10He flung Liam to the ground, then came toward me.
34:13Very well.
34:14An amnesiac.
34:16An amnesiac.
34:16Taking my woman.
34:17Keeping my child!
34:19Your child.
34:20Liam spoke suddenly.
34:21What child?
34:22He turned to look at me.
34:24My wife.
34:25Naturally my child.
34:26How could you speak so to your brother's wife, Cassian?
34:29You are-
34:30Yes.
34:30I remember now.
34:31I am Alistair Blackstone.
34:33Your husband.
34:34You may not recall our wedding night.
34:36Cassian's face changed into pale.
34:38Alistair turned to Cassian.
34:39The battlefield last year.
34:41Third party signs.
34:43Delayed reinforcements.
34:45Cassian, was it you?
34:50Silence.
34:51Long silence.
34:56You deliberately delayed the rescue.
34:59Because I was the heir.
35:00Because-
35:00Because I hated you from birth.
35:03You had everything.
35:04I had nothing.
35:05Even her.
35:06Alistair.
35:06Alistair looked at me.
35:07At the swollen belly.
35:09How long was I absent?
35:12Seven months.
35:14Not to me.
35:14To my belly.
35:15His hand trembled as he touched.
35:17Cassian laughed.
35:19Touching.
35:20But she is mine.
35:22The child is mine.
35:24She is my wife.
35:26So is the child.
35:27The brothers faced each other.
35:29Their two wolves in confrontation.
35:31I refuse.
35:32But the whole room shook.
35:33His wolf spirit awakening.
35:36Blackstone pack's alpha power.
35:38You have no right, brother.
35:40You were absent seven years.
35:42The pack is mine.
35:44The army is mine.
35:45She-
35:45I'm not anyone's.
35:47I spoke.
35:48They both looked at me.
35:50I stood.
35:51Belly heavy.
35:52But spine straight.
35:53The moon-bloom leaf blowed in my palm.
35:56You fight for the pack.
35:57For power.
35:58For me.
35:59But no one ever asked what I want.
36:01I stepped forward.
36:02Silver wolf blood boiled long so fast in my veins.
36:09Cecilia.
36:10Do not touch me.
36:14Silver light burst from thin.
36:16My pupils turned pure silver.
36:19Hair moving without wind.
36:21Moon-bloom tree pattern emerging in my belly.
36:23This is the power of the silver stone pure blood.
36:28You thought me as a sacrifice upon an accessory.
36:31But I am silver wolf.
36:33I can heal.
36:34Can sense.
36:35Can make warriors of two packs lay down their blades on the battlefield.
36:39Or drive them to slaughter each other.
36:42I raised my hand.
36:43Light gathered.
36:45Alistair.
36:46You were absent seven months.
36:47But your duty remains.
36:49Return and be alpha.
36:51But not for me.
36:52For the pack.
36:53Cassian.
36:54Your love is far too heavy.
36:56Heavy enough to break me.
36:58I want no cage.
36:59Not even a gilded one.
37:01The light creaked.
37:03Then receded.
37:04I returned to normal.
37:06But something had changed forever.
37:09I choose neither.
37:11I choose myself.
37:12And the child.
37:21Don't worry.
37:23I won't let you die.
37:29Are you deaf?
37:31Why don't you answer the phone?
37:32I was just having a check up.
37:34The phone's muted.
37:35Which hospital?
37:36The city hospital.
37:37I just had a check up.
37:38Come quickly to fifth floor emergency.
37:40See she's been in a car accident.
37:41She needs a blood transfusion.
37:42She is in urgent condition.
37:44You just come here when she needs you.
37:45Don't say such bullshit.
37:47Now.
37:52Mrs. Tu, congratulations on your pregnancy.
37:55But your uterine walls are too thin.
37:58The baby will be miscarried easily.
38:00And your body condition could be weak.
38:02From now on you will have to take better care of yourself.
38:05Baby?
38:06Will your daddy welcome to your coming?
38:10What kind of name he'll give you?
38:18You don't have to check it.
38:20They're both RH negative.
38:21Take as much as you need.
38:23But I'm...
38:24You what?
38:25Shut up.
38:26Draw blood.
38:32My sin.
38:33You're done.
38:34Shut up.
38:36I'll deal with you when we get home.
38:39In your heart, this he really is more important than me?
38:43Regret?
38:46Did you think of this the day before?
38:49But I didn't do anything.
38:50Will you stop acting?
38:52Do you think I'm going to believe the speaking of a vicious woman?
38:57So you always were thinking of me in this way.
39:05This he is really that good?
39:07It's not for you to judge.
39:10You're not qualified either.
39:13I'm not at all.
39:31You're not my fault.
39:34No, you don't hurt.
39:35You're not my death primera week.
39:35Don't focus on your victim.
39:36It's dirty
39:43Here we go again such a lousy actor, but you're still lying. Don't you think you're disgusting? I'm not
39:51Since three years ago you decided to get Zigi into a car accident
39:54I knew you were what kind of stuff to keep you in the mo family. Just let continue to atone
39:59for your sins remember that
40:01You're just a machine of atonement
