Short filmTranscript
00:02the chieftain gathered every unmated male and told me and sister to choose male shifters are
00:07ranked s a b or c my sister lyra seized the a rank wolf shifter that should be mine
00:16and threw the low level b rank snake shifter that should be hers to me
00:19as a result her fate was tragic while i won everything she bore him five litters every
00:27single one lowly b rank the wolf shifter raged he kicked her hard in the stomach and cursed her for
00:33being useless tore the bond like it was nothing the other males wanted nothing to do with her either
00:39and me i chose a b rank snake shifter one litter ten cubs every single one high quality a rank
00:47the whole clan named me the sacred daughter my mate inherited the chieftain's seat
00:55lyra couldn't stand it she killed all my children and pushed me off the cliff
01:08when i opened my eyes again we were back back to the day of choosing i came back to myself
01:14just as
01:15lyra pressed her body against the snake shifter's side chieftain she said sweetly
01:21i choose boss she said it and then she looked at me one long deliberate look the kind that said
01:30i've already won i understood she'd been reborn too actually my sister and i weren't from this world
01:36but we couldn't find a way back in the end we would just have to adapt to the rules here
01:42but this time i absolutely won't let her control everything
01:47male shifters are born ranked s a b or c the higher the rank the more valuable the male c
01:54rank
01:55males were everywhere b rank was considered a prize a rank was rare enough to cause a stir
02:00as for s rank even the elderly chieftain had never seen one females in the beastlands were fewer than
02:07males their social standing was higher which standing on the children they bore
02:11the higher the rank of your cubs the higher you climbed in our last life lyra had wanted to be
02:17the
02:17top female in the clan she'd gone straight for the only a rake wolf shifter without blinking
02:22she told me to choose boss the snake shifter snakes have two you know she'd said with that
02:28conspiratorial smile of hers but they lay eggs hatching eggs is so much easier than live birth
02:34i'd listened i'd chosen vox we bonded and i fell pregnant quickly one clutch ten cubs
02:42every single one a rank this clan had existed for over a century among clans they'd never had more
02:50than five a rank shifters total the chiefly declared vos his successor on the spot
02:59lyra had conceived around the same time i had she gave birth to a b rank cub
03:05then another five pregnancies total nothing above b nothing below c she decided the problem was the
03:14wolf's bloodline one night she crept into vos's den vos threw her out of bed and called the entire clan
03:21to witness his innocence before dawn the wolf shifter found out his rage was immediate and absolute
03:28he dissolved their bond and drove her out along with her children within a month lyla's cubs had all
03:35starved she'd tried to seduce some of the c-rank males during that time but this world had no tolerance
03:43for betrayal the males would take what she offered they wouldn't bond with her when lyra was close to
03:52starving i'd brought her back to mine given her meat from my own stores she repaid me by destroying me
04:02even now i could still feel the drop that weightless stomach larching fall the chieftain nodded at me now
04:11signaling it was my turn to choose i scanned the remaining males then i pointed at the wolf shifter
04:18i'd like to choose i didn't finish the sentence a crack split the air a hand connected with my face
04:27the female who hit me belonged to drac the black tiger shifter she came at me with all the fury
04:33she
04:34demanding to know how i dared steal her mail i stared at her i have nothing going on with drac
04:39still denying it she reached into a pouch at her hip and flung something at my feet a tuft of
04:45fur
04:46i found this on my bed that's your fur isn't it my shifted form was a white rabbit the fur
04:54on the
04:54ground was rabbit fur but that proved nothing i wasn't the only rabbit in this clan i opened my
05:01mouth to say exactly that lyra stepped forward her eyes went wide and shocked oh sister she gasped
05:11that night i saw you walking with drac i had no idea that's what you were doing how could you
05:17go after
05:18a bonded male the males who'd been eyeing me with interest took a collective step back
05:24the wolf shifter in particular his expression shutted he frowned i turned to look at lyra in her eyes
05:32i saw it clearly calculation satisfaction then i remembered in my last life she and drac had
05:39history a brief affair it was a trap by her i didn't do anything with drac and that's not my
05:49fur
05:49if no one believes me i'll shift right now so you can all see for yourselves i shifted i turned
05:57in a
05:58slow circle showing every angle no bald patches no missing fur anywhere on my body except there on my
06:06inner thigh a small bare patch i hadn't noticed before the crowd erupted what kind of female goes
06:15after someone else's male that kind should be thrown out of the clan the noise belt and built
06:20this clan male and female alike had no room for a female who might lure away bonded males the chieflin
06:27raised his hand i was cast out lyra came to see me off at the border she was curled against
06:32voss's
06:33chest when she said goodbye her voice all silk and sympathy sister being cast out isn't necessarily
06:39a bad thing there are plenty of strong males out there in the wild maybe you'll find your true mate
06:44the wild was full of powerful shifters yes they were also the ones every clan had already thrown away
06:51half feral dangerous the kind who would take a lone female and break her i'd saved lyra from them
06:59three times in our last life however she hadn't remembered that at all when she killed me last life
07:08i smiled at her slow and pleasant
07:13i think you can save concern for yourself vos is vigorous
07:20you'll have your fill of trouble then vox was a snake shifter
07:24as lyra had once told me herself snakes had appetites
07:30he had no interest in hunting he had every interest in making love
07:36once or twice a day was sport
07:41once or twice without stopping for days that was suffering
07:48it hurt terribly every time if i hadn't satisfied him he'd gone looking outside the clan
07:55he screwed many female at the same time without a clan's backing he was useless
08:03the memory of all of it made my skin crawl lyra thought she'd won a prize
08:13what she'd actually won was a rotting thing wearing a decent face
08:19you must be jealous of me lyra snapped her sweetness curdling in an instant what exactly are you smiling
08:26about this life i'm gonna make you watch me watch me become the sacred daughter of this clan
08:32she and vos disappeared back into their den their laughter trailing behind them i stepped outside
08:38the clan's boundary and immediately had company a leopard shifter eyes full of hunger and violence
08:44i knew what solitary males like him did to lone females they played they broke every survival instinct
08:51i had fired at once i ran i ran until a cave mouth appeared in the rock face ahead of
08:55me
08:56with nowhere else to go i dived inside the leopard stopped at the entrance
09:01he paced he snarled in my direction then when i didn't come out he cursed twice and left
09:08from the darkness deeper in the cave came a roar that pinned me to the spot
09:13i looked up a white lion stood before me beautiful enormous his jaws were wide enough to swallow my head
09:19whole
09:22i ran again two steps then i stopped
09:28the lion had roared but he hadn't moved it was almost like he was trying to frighten me off rather
09:36than attack then i smelled it rot the hot sickening smell of infected flesh i looked at his back legs
09:45the meat there was going necrotic white with larvae i steadied myself hello you're injured
09:54i know how to heal will you let me stay he understood me he looked at me for a long
10:02moment
10:02then he stretched both back legs forward his wounds were severe the larvae had spread deep
10:14i forced down the nausea and cleaned them out thorough methodical
10:23then i opened my pack and found my medicinal powders
10:35before i'd came this world i'd been trained in herbalism
10:41after arriving in the beast lands that knowledge had made me a healer for the varmeric clan
10:48when i finished dressing the lion's wounds he leaned his great head forward and pressed his face against
10:57my sleeve gratitude for me
11:03then his stomach ground injured immobile unfed
11:10i'll find food wait here i moved to leave he hooked one paw around my ankle and drew me back
11:17then he dragged his enormous tongue over my shoulder and down my arm
11:22i understood he was marking me with his scent most predators wouldn't come near me now
11:30i thought of the leopard at the cave entrance whatever rank this lion was
11:38it was enough to send others running
11:45i didn't go far i gathered wild fruit some edible roots and came back to the cave as the sky
11:54went dark
11:55i made a fire
12:00the lion's eyes the lid up
12:04he inched closer to the flames and that was how i came to live in his den
12:10days settled into rhythm mornings i changed his dressings then went out for water and food
12:18nights he curled around me like a living blanket his warmth soaking into me while we slept half a month
12:25passed
12:27then one afternoon i returned to the cave
12:31and stopped in the entrance a man lay where the lion had been
12:38white hair
12:39white hair long and loose eyes the color of gold he saw me two pale ears rose slowly from the
12:46top of his head
12:48you're back his voice was startling low and clear and unexpectedly lovely
12:55you're the white lion
13:01he nodded
13:05my name is caius
13:07i smiled
13:09hello i'm sarah under my care caius had healed enough to walk
13:20on our first hunt together he showed me what he was capable of a wild boar
13:26under a minute
13:27he bit through its neck like it was nothing
13:36that night i finally had meat again pork fat crackling over the fire
13:40filling the cave with the kind of smell that made your stomach hollow with want
13:43i ate until my face was shiny with grease and asked him around a mouthful
13:50are you a rank you have to be at least
13:54caius's expression shadowed
13:57no
13:58i don't have a rank
14:00i paused
14:03what
14:06every male shifter in the beastlands was ranked
14:10that was just the world
14:13caius just shook his head
14:15he'd never had a rank
14:18and because of that his clan had called him a monster from birth
14:23cast him out young
14:26the memory sat visibly on him as he spoke
14:30his eyes went somewhere far away
14:33cast out as a cub
14:35no family no family no kin no one
14:42i reached over and touched his head
14:45just lightly
14:47it's all right
14:49you have me now we're friends
14:53it's all right
14:54and i'm going to have a look at him
14:55it's all right
14:56it was sudden and total
14:57and genuinely charming
15:01another month passed
15:04healed completely
15:08winter was coming
15:14i woke late one morning
15:16to heat radiating from his side of the den
15:19his eyes were red rimmed
15:20his breathing rough
15:28he told me to stay inside
15:30that he needed to step out for a while
15:32that i shouldn't worry
15:33he made it two steps
15:35before his legs gave out
15:37when he hit the ground
15:38i understood
15:39every shifter had a fixed heat cycle
15:42during the surge
15:43the animal instinct overwhelmed everything else
15:47he was already past his limit
15:49he was painful
15:51don't be scared
15:52he managed
15:53i won't touch you
15:55i'll handle it myself
15:56he was fighting his own body
15:58every muscle in his neck was stinic
16:00veins visible under his white hair
16:02the sounds coming from his throat were low
16:04and inimpolentary and painful to hear
16:06i looked at him
16:08something in my chest did something quiet and final
16:12i crossed the distance between us
16:14and crouched down in front of him
16:19i said
16:20i said
16:20do you not want me
16:22no
16:24how
16:25how could you think that
16:26i cupped his face in my hands
16:33and i kissed him
16:36when his hands came up to touch me
16:39i braced
16:41i thought sex was simply about being hurt
16:43he was so strong
16:44it must be hurting a lot
16:47i'd prepared myself
16:50but surprisingly
16:51i felt no pain
16:53caius was gentle
16:55he moved like he was afraid to break something
16:59i felt weightless
17:01i was as comfortable as if i were floating in the sky
17:07when it finally finished
17:08snow had fallen
17:11since then
17:12we have been making love all the day
17:15one sustained glance across the den
17:18and i'd find myself pinned to the sleeping furs a moment later
17:22unlike my last life
17:24i was happy
17:25and no longer felt pain
17:28he was
17:29as it turned out
17:31extraordinarily good at this
17:33and i was pregnant
17:35i was not surprised
17:39really
17:40for three full seconds he didn't move
17:43then his ears began to tremble
17:45his tail followed
17:47his whole face changed
17:48he pressed one broad rough harm to my stomach
17:53so carefully
17:53you're really carrying my cub
17:55my little lion
17:56he lifted me straight off the ground
17:58i laughed and he laughed with me
18:00and the sound of it filled the cave
18:02after pregnant he was at my side constantly
18:05i'd reach for something and he'd already have it
18:09i'd think about standing up and he'd be there
18:12lying in the warmth of his arms one evening
18:14i found myself thinking about the previous life
18:16voss was cold blooded
18:19he hibernated in winter
18:21no warmth to give
18:23i'd been on my own
18:24wading through snow to find anything edible
18:26then the ten snake cubs had hatched
18:28i was so tired
18:30voss slept through all of it
18:31the cubs had been good
18:33even Abrank
18:34they'd never started fights
18:35never made trouble
18:36they'd helped with the den chores
18:38so adorable
18:40my eyes started to sting
18:41i hadn't protected them
18:43Caius's chest was warm against my back
18:46he turned me gently
18:49sarah
18:50you're not happy
18:51what is it
18:52i'm fine
18:54i wiped the corner of my eye
18:57just missing home
19:00is it not good here
19:02with me
19:03no
19:04that's not it
19:05i touched his hair
19:10being with you is the best thing i've had
19:13next day
19:17i'd assumed i'd never see lyra again
19:20she appeared at the entrance to our den
19:25lyra was on her knees in the snow
19:27hugely pregnant
19:28shaking
19:29white lion sir please don't kill me
19:31i looked at her
19:32something that wasn't quite amusement moved through me
19:34sarah
19:36what are you doing here
19:38do you know her
19:40no
19:41caius's killing in tate rose immediately
19:44lyra screamed
19:45no
19:46sister don't let him kill me
19:48i came to save you
19:49that single word stopped everything
19:51sister
19:52caius held back
19:53he asked me if there might be some misunderstanding
19:55i exhaled slowly and walked toward her
19:59why did you come
20:01the sweet
20:02plastating smile again
20:04hypocritical
20:05i spoke to the chieflin for you
20:07he'll let you come back
20:08i didn't move
20:11i mean it
20:13sister
20:14we have conflict with another clan
20:16there's going to be war
20:18neither of you belong to either side
20:21you'll be collateral
20:24lyra's words landed
20:25and i remembered
20:27in our previous life
20:28there had been a war
20:29exactly like this
20:31but that war had ended the moment my ten snake cubs hatched
20:34the simultaneous appearance of ten a-weed shifters is powerful enough
20:38they'd surrendered without a fight
20:40the two clans had merged
20:42the ulterth clan had a priest
20:44he'd looked at me afterward and declared that i was the sacred daughter
20:47given to the clan by the beast gods
20:50but none of that was a reason to go back
20:53caius and i were living well
20:55i would never return that clan again
20:58lyra's eyes moved to my stomach
21:00her voice shifted
21:01softer more deliberate
21:02sister
21:03you're pregnant
21:05even if you don't care about yourself
21:07you have to think about the child
21:10you can't wander forever
21:12and when your cub is grown
21:14what then
21:43do you want to raise them out here
21:45sarah
21:45let's go back
21:47after i told lyra yes
21:49she sagged with relief
21:50then almost immediately
21:52do you have any food
21:54she ate like she hadn't seen a proper meal in weeks
21:57given vos's hibernation schedule
22:00she probably hadn't
22:02she was enormous with pregnancy
22:04but her arms and legs were too thin
22:07she'd had a hard stretch of it
22:09when she finished
22:10she settled into the outer part of the cave to rest
22:13caius tucked me into his arms as usual
22:17lyra looked over at us from across the den
22:20the expression on her face was pure naked envy
22:25in the middle of the night i got up
22:27lyra's back was to me
22:29she thought i was still asleep
22:32gods how is she still getting everything in this life too
22:35what's so great about bonding with something that doesn't even have a rank
22:38mongrel she pressed a hand to her own swollen stomach
22:43come on little ones come out soon
22:48then mother won't have to keep swallowing this
22:51i stood in the dark and looked at her
22:53we'd lost our parents in the same accident
22:56grown up in the same grief
22:58all my life to give her room
23:01warn her leaving
23:02let her choose first
23:03done what our parents had asked me to do
23:06you're the older one
23:07look out for your sister
23:09what i'd meant as love
23:10she'd received as tribute
23:14we returned to the vurek clan three days later
23:18by the third day back
23:20i knew exactly why lyra had worked so hard to retrieve me
23:25her due date was close
23:27she was terrified of dying on the birthing floor
23:29in our previous life all her five pregnancies had been dangerous
23:34and i'd been the one who'd seen her through them
23:37there was also a second reason she wanted me to watch
23:41she wanted me present when she gave birth to 20 a rank cubs
23:44and rose to become the highest ranked female in the clan
23:47she wanted my face in the crowd
23:49life inside the varek clan was not easy
23:52even with caius beside me
23:54many of the females looked at me with hostility
23:57i'd been labeled a female who went after bonded males
24:00they didn't want me near their maiters so i kept to the den isolated
24:04lyra meanwhile told everyone she was the sacred daughter sent by the beast gods
24:09and that all 20 of her eggs contained a rank shifters
24:13the clan believed her
24:14her status climbed
24:18then the war began caius went to the front
24:21after the first skirmish the rest of the clan realized what he was capable of
24:26his bite force surpassed the a rank wolf shifters by a margin
24:29his speed and strength were in a different category entirely
24:32by any logic that made him valuable
24:35worth protecting worth standing behind
24:37instead the wolf shifter grew jealous
24:39he organized the other males quietly
24:42no rank they said doesn't belong
24:44and on a day when caius was pushing deep into ultroth clan territory alone
24:48the wolf shifter led the others away and left him surrounded
24:51i found out after caius came home bleeding
24:54i was already moving toward the chieftain's den when caius caught my arm
24:58sarah it's fine he sounded almost amused
25:01they still couldn't take me down
25:03i made it back didn't i i looked at his wounds my eyes stung
25:07i'm sorry i shouldn't have brought you here
25:11this place isn't right for you we're leaving back to our own den
25:17no he caught my hands something almost panicked moved across his face
25:22sarah if we go back to the den you'll miss home again
25:25i don't want that stay here as long as you and the cub are safe
25:29it doesn't matter what they do to me something cracked open in my chest
25:34i remembered saying once in passing that i missed home
25:38i'd meant something abstract grief a vague ache
25:42he'd taken it as a specific thing he thought i meant the clan
25:46he'd been humiliating himself to keep me close to something he thought i needed
25:51you are my home you're the only family i have now
25:56let's go back to the den just the two of us
25:58and live the way we want to live
26:01i just convinced him
26:03we hadn't even started packing when a female came running
26:08sarah come quickly your sister she's in labor
26:15i heard the screaming from outside the den inside blood more than there should have been
26:21the scene was identical to the worst of lylara's previous life labors that same desperate quality to
26:26the air that same sense of something gone wrong at the start it didn't make sense snake eggs were
26:32small this should have been easy i understood quickly enough once i started working i helped her
26:38pass 10 eggs then i reached back in and felt more i was mid-reach when lyra's body seized
26:46seizure no one in the den knew the word i snapped them to find a smooth cloth get it between
26:51her teeth
26:52before she bit through her tongue they scrambled while they held her i worked i cleared the rest of
26:59the eggs as fast as i could 20 in total when it was over lyla went limp and unconscious i
27:09brewed a
27:09draft and got it down her throat waiting outside the den he grabbed my wrist before i could leave
27:15she's your sister you should stay and care for her i looked at his hand on my arm
27:22he'd watched a woman nearly die in that den his mate and he was already trying to pass the burden
27:28to someone else i pulled my wrist free she's your female not mine i've done what i can the rest
27:36is
27:36yours i stepped out of the den into the night air exhausted to my marrow caius was standing there waiting
27:44i started to say something about his wounds about how he should be resting he pulled me into him before
27:50i could finish his voice was rough when he spoke sarah we're not leaving i want to stay i started
27:58to
27:58ask why my shoulder went wet i brought him back to the den and sat with him when i pressed
28:06him the tears
28:07came harder he'd been outside lyra's den the whole time he'd heard everything he hadn't known that was
28:16what bearing young looked like for a female the sounds she'd made the blood the way the others had
28:23moved he was terrified if we left if we went back to the den alone and i went into labor
28:31and something
28:32went wrong there would be no one to help me no one to do what i had just done for
28:36lyla i felt the tears
28:37come before i could stop them caius i said softly that was difficult for specific reasons mine might
28:44be nothing like it i don't care he held tighter even one chance in a hundred i won't let you
28:52suffer
28:52without help not for anything he'd made himself small in this clan he hunted and shared the meat with
29:00everyone even the ones who'd abandoned him at the front he smiled at the ones who'd left him to die
29:06swallowed every indignity without complaint all of it for me what had i ever done to deserve a male
29:14like this lyra woke the following day snake eggs take time to hatch while they incubated lyra stationed
29:23herself beside them and invited most of the clam to come and watch she told anyone who would listen
29:29that all 20 would be a rock the clan was skeptical but intrigued she'd been right before they came
29:39around the same time the war finished largely because of caius the ultra clan sent delegates to
29:45negotiate their chieftain and their priest came together to discuss terms the meeting was still in
29:50progress when someone burst in from outside chieftain come quick the exit boss's den are hatching
29:57the room emptied even the ultroth delegates went word had traveled even to their clan the sacred
30:04daughter of the varay clan had birthed 20 aclar snakeshifters they wanted to see the den was so crowded
30:11the walls seemed to breathe the chieftain had to push his way in he arrived just as the first egg
30:18cracked
30:18open a small dark snake emerged lyra picked it up with trembling hands and held it out
30:29chieftain tell me a rank isn't it the chieftain looked he considered for a moment then he said what
30:36he saw c rank the smile frozen on lyra's face her eyes went sharp that can't be right look again
30:50please
30:52look properly the chieftain had been judging blood rank for 60 years he could do it blindfolded but he
30:59looked again because she'd asked c rank i'm certain lyra went still
31:09what's happening i thought they were all a rank 20 is an enormous number
31:16we've only ever had one a rank in the whole clan maybe there's a mix maybe the rest will be
31:22higher
31:23that last voice gave lyra something to grab onto she straightened hands on her hips exactly that was
31:31only the first i expect at least 10 a rake out of these 20. three more eggs cracked everyone looked
31:46the strong ones hatched last lyra said firmly crack crack crack five more one b rank among them there
31:59lyra said her voice climbing see the better ones come at the end i told you but the crowd had
32:07stopped
32:07believing her the expressions had shifted the last eggs opened final count one b rank 10 c rank and
32:15several with no rank at all the chieftain studied the unranked ones briefly his face said everything
32:21his mouth didn't need to lyra's composure shattered this is impossible where are my a rank cubs someone
32:29tampered with them her voice rose cracking there's no other explanation a female in the back had
32:39had enough tampered how boss is a b rank snake shifter what exactly were you expecting him to give
32:44you a couple of good weather predictions and suddenly you're the sacred daughter the resentment
32:47had been building for weeks it broke open now all at once voice after voice peeling back the patience
32:52they'd kept then lyra's eyes found me she'd been scanning the crowd now she stopped she came straight
32:57for me and grabbed my arm you it was you you can't stand to see me do well you switched
33:04my eggs give
33:05them back give them back right now i pulled my arm from her grip lyra my voice came out flat
33:15and cold
33:16stop you accused me of going after a bonded male now you're accusing me of stealing your cubs half the
33:23clan
33:23was in that den with me ask any of them they watched everything i did the females who'd attended
33:30the birth stepped forward one by one she's right we were all there sarah didn't take anything what
33:36would she even want with snake eggs she's carrying her own the voices layered over each other lyra broke
33:42entirely why is everyone suddenly on her side just die sarah you should just die she threw herself at
33:50me i didn't move fast enough she put me square and we both went down kaius shifted the white lion
33:57came
33:58down on top of her in one motion all that weight and fury and he opened his jaws over her
34:02he didn't
34:03close them because from somewhere behind us a voice rang out over the chaos no stop kaius get your mate
34:08back
34:09to the den she's in labor the next second i was airborne lifted clean off the ground held against
34:14a chest that was warm and solid and moving very fast kaius ran in the den he held my hand
34:22through all
34:23of it his brow didn't unfurl once he kept talking low steady you're all right you're doing so well i'm
34:33right here while his own hand shook harder than mine everything went smoothly less than two hours
34:40later i delivered two white lion cubs twins oh they're beautiful the attending female breathed lifting
34:52one and cleaning it briskly strong too look at them i'd wager these are a rank at least let the
34:59chieftain
35:00have a look it's fine i started we don't need
35:08the chieftain and the ultrath priest had followed us in the chieftain reached for the nearest cub
35:15turned it over and frowned spirited little thing but no rank to speak of i glanced at kaius his face
35:23was careful he was nervous i took his hand it doesn't matter before i'd finished the sentence
35:31the altar priest leaned in his voice went sharp with something that sounded almost like outrage
35:38you can't see rank these cubs are s rank
35:48s rank did you just say s rank i helped birth them and i thought they looked different from other
35:53cubs
35:54but i didn't dare s rank here from this den two of them we have two s rank shifters in
36:00this clan
36:00the den erupted kaius and i looked at each other the news moved through the clan like fire lyra had
36:09pushed her way back through the crowd and into the den entrance she saw the cubs she looked at me
36:15this isn't real her voice had gone strange too high too tight sarah how could you possibly produce s rank
36:23cubs who's with him he doesn't even have a rank the joy in the den quiet it was the thing
36:29people had
36:30wondered and hadn't said before any of it could take hold the altar priest stepped forward no rank
36:38who told you his voice rang off the stone walls caius is s rank he's been s rank this entire
36:46time
36:46that's precisely why we yielded silence the priest told them what the ultrac clan had seen on the
36:54battlefield abilities that couldn't be explained by any ordinary blood rank when they'd realized what
36:59they were facing they'd stopped fighting no one here had ever encountered an s rank shifter before
37:04not even the chieftain he hadn't known what he was looking at kaius sat with that for a moment
37:09he'd spent his whole life believing he was broken cast out proof of something shameful
37:16and the answer had simply been that everyone around him had lacked the eyes to see him clearly
37:22the priest turned to me next he studied me with the focused attention this female's fate line
37:31he said slowly is unlike anything ordinary unless i'm mistaken he looked out at the gathered clan she is the
37:39sacred daughter reborn if the s-rate announcement had been a shock this was the stone that broke the surface
37:45of still water everyone went quiet then they went to their knees
37:52in our previous life it had happened too but then people had been uncertain willing to believe but not
38:01quite sold this time with three s-reek shifters in the same den no one hesitated
38:09you're all forgetting she was cast this clan for going after a bebonded male
38:18what sacred daughter has a history like that she's been playing all of you the room had heard enough
38:25from her today but she'd reminded them the old accusation resurfacing in a few sets of eyes
38:34i stood up straight and looked across the den at drac the black tiger shifter who had been standing
38:39very still and very quiet in the corner since this all began drac are you going to tell the truth
38:47now
38:48or not under the judgment of the whole clan drac admitted all of it lila had planned it from the
38:56beginning she'd bribed him with herself he'd stolen a tough of my fur and they'd staged the confrontation
39:02together the one who'd gone after a bonded male had never been me boss's face went white he was a
39:09snake
39:09and snakes were possessive creatures lyra his voice was very quiet you betrayed me her legs buckled
39:21no boss please listen to me they're lying all of them don't he'd already shifted the great dark snake
39:27moved faster than eyes could follow he caught her by the back of the neck and then he was gone
39:32a trail
39:32in the snow and nothing else a few days later someone found what remained of lyra outside the clan boundary
39:40she was identifiable only by her clothes word spread fast the chieftain had no choice vos was driven out
39:50the cubs lyra had carried were not held accountable for any of it the females of the clan gathered them
39:56all up and raised them together the males under caius's lead turned outward new territory broader boundaries
40:06room to grow season by season the work accumulated in the new spring the clan raised caius to chieftain i
40:14stood beside him the same position i had held in another life through a different path with different
40:20scars but here now with someone who had wept outside a den because he was afraid of losing me
40:25our two white lion cubs rolled in the grass nearby already stocky and ridiculous and impossibly
40:31strong i watched caius tilt his face toward the sun eyes half closed ears twitting i had lived two
40:37lives in this world i didn't need a third
