Short filmTranscript
00:00:04I thought of my mother.
00:00:06You can live with regret, but guilt kills you a little every day you're alive.
00:00:11I had nothing left.
00:00:13No dreams, no exam, no future.
00:00:17No one would cry over my death.
00:00:20If I died, it would be no one's loss.
00:00:23But if Nathalia died, I would carry it for the rest of my life.
00:00:28I lifted my skirts.
00:00:30And ran on a sprained ankle down the empty corridor.
00:00:34I reached the ballroom doors.
00:00:36The entire pack was gathered inside.
00:00:43I pushed through the crowd to where my father and Nathalia stood.
00:00:47Nikolai blocked me.
00:00:49Come to watch us suffer!
00:00:50You're the only one who finds joy in other people's pain.
00:00:53I won't.
00:00:55I walked past him.
00:00:56And stood before my father.
00:01:01I offered myself to the demon lords.
00:01:04Let Nathalia go.
00:01:07The crowd gasped as one.
00:01:10Nathalia stared at me, stunned.
00:01:12She pushed the bouquet of forget-me-nots back into my hands.
00:01:16I pulled the veil down over my face.
00:01:19I placed my hand in the crook of my father's arm.
00:01:23He didn't say a word.
00:01:24We walked down the red carpet.
00:01:27My father could only walk me this far.
00:01:30The rest of the way, I have to walk alone.
00:01:34Halfway there, my steps stopped.
00:01:37The forget-me-nots in my hands, withered.
00:01:40They twisted into a bundle of red spider lilies.
00:01:43Flowers of death.
00:01:44A stain of black crept up my white gown.
00:01:48From the hem, to the bodice, to the sleeves.
00:01:52Even the veil covering my face turned black.
00:01:55I steadied myself and kept walking.
00:02:01Three figures stood above me.
00:02:06Slowly, the three of them turned together to look at me.
00:02:17They never let me own anything.
00:02:19But one thing was mine.
00:02:22My mother's house.
00:02:25And her diaries.
00:02:26Her flowers.
00:02:28Her dreams.
00:02:29She was a gardener.
00:02:31A healer.
00:02:32She knew herbs that had no names, even in books.
00:02:36I studied every word she ever wrote.
00:02:39Tomorrow, I take the international medical entrance exam.
00:02:42If I pass, I can leave this pack forever.
00:02:47It's the only dream I have left.
00:02:49I just need to survive today.
00:02:55A gray car pulled up beside me.
00:02:57It was my half-brother, Nikolai.
00:03:00The crown prince.
00:03:01Get in.
00:03:03My stepsister, Nathalia, laughed from the window.
00:03:06Look at that ugly face.
00:03:08Someone should run her over.
00:03:09There's a drift race tonight.
00:03:11This road belongs to them.
00:03:12Nikolai grabbed my arm and dragged me into the passenger seat.
00:03:15Be a good little doll.
00:03:18You know what happens if you disobey me.
00:03:20The car sped off.
00:03:22He drifted it through the pack of racers.
00:03:26I heard you signed up for the Royal Medical Academy exam.
00:03:29Stop the car and let me out.
00:03:33Refusing to answer?
00:03:36You just want out?
00:03:37Then let me help you.
00:03:41He unbuckled my seatbelt and shoved me out of the speeding car.
00:03:44The ground tore my skin open.
00:03:46My arm broke.
00:03:48Nikolai reversed the car to the end of the road.
00:03:50A bastard worthy of the Royal Academy?
00:03:52He fixed the headlights on my eyes.
00:03:54Let's play a game, little sister.
00:03:56Let's see how good my brakes are.
00:04:00He hit the gas.
00:04:01The car surged toward me.
00:04:05This world has three realms.
00:04:07The heavens, ruled by the pure moon goddess.
00:04:12The mortal realm.
00:04:13Twelve wolf packs ruled by the Alpha King.
00:04:17And below it all lies hell.
00:04:20The infernal pack, ruled by three demon lords.
00:04:24Triplet werewolf demons.
00:04:27The wolves of hell are merciless.
00:04:32To keep the peace,
00:04:34the mortal realm began three years ago,
00:04:36offering a royal bride every year.
00:04:40Every year, no bride has come back alive.
00:04:46Instead, she is found hanged outside her own palace.
00:04:51No one knows how she was tortured.
00:04:54Three brides.
00:04:55Three princesses of alpha blood.
00:04:58Not one lived past a year.
00:05:01This year, the Alpha King chose my pack.
00:05:04I was blindfolded and delivered to the bed of the demon triplets.
00:05:13Kisses and hands roamed over my body.
00:05:16I had no choice.
00:05:18I was arranged like a doll for them.
00:05:21Other hands moved up along my thighs,
00:05:23every inch,
00:05:25searching inward.
00:05:27I tried to close my legs.
00:05:29I couldn't.
00:05:31I couldn't.
00:05:31Wider princess.
00:05:33A mouth pressed against my chest,
00:05:36burning, full of hunger.
00:05:39I felt warm and wet.
00:05:42But I am not an alpha princess.
00:05:46I am the forgotten Omega of the royal house.
00:05:52My name is Zanthea.
00:05:54Today is the anniversary of my mother's death.
00:05:57It is also my 23rd birthday.
00:06:01She died not long after giving birth to me.
00:06:05My father is Alpha Valdemir Virgo.
00:06:09I am the proof of his affair.
00:06:11A bastard daughter.
00:06:15He brought me to the palace and raised me.
00:06:19The Luna and my step-siblings bullied me,
00:06:22treated me as a maid.
00:06:25Filthy bastard!
00:06:26Kneel!
00:06:28Useless trap.
00:06:29You only deserve to sleep in the storage closet.
00:06:36If you don't finish scrubbing the palace floors today,
00:06:40you don't eat.
00:06:43She broke a plate.
00:06:45Drag her down.
00:06:46Lock her up for three days.
00:06:52A grey car pulled up beside me.
00:06:55It was my half-brother, Nikolai.
00:06:57The crown prince.
00:06:58Get in.
00:07:00My stepsister, Nathalia, laughed from the window.
00:07:03Look at that ugly face.
00:07:05Someone should run her over.
00:07:06There's a drift race tonight.
00:07:08This road belongs to them.
00:07:09Nikolai grabbed my arm and dragged me
00:07:11into the passenger seat.
00:07:12Be a good little doll.
00:07:15You know what happens if you disobey me.
00:07:18The car sped off.
00:07:19He drifted it through the pack of racers.
00:07:23I heard you signed up for the Royal Medical Academy exam.
00:07:26Stop the car and let me out.
00:07:30Refusing to answer?
00:07:33You just want out?
00:07:35Then let me help you.
00:07:38He unbuckled my seatbelt and shoved me out of the speeding car.
00:07:41The ground tore my skin open.
00:07:43My arm broke.
00:07:45Nikolai reversed the car to the end of the road.
00:07:47A bastard worthy of the Royal Academy?
00:07:50He fixed the headlights on my eyes.
00:07:51Let's play a game, little sister.
00:07:53Let's see how good my brakes are.
00:07:57He hit the gas.
00:07:58The car surged toward me.
00:08:05I didn't die.
00:08:08I don't know who they were.
00:08:10I took the chance and ran.
00:08:16The exam was the next afternoon.
00:08:20I got through it on painkillers, writing with a broken hand.
00:08:25One hour left.
00:08:27The proctor leaned down toward me.
00:08:33You have to leave.
00:08:35You're no longer eligible for this exam.
00:08:36I froze.
00:08:38The door opened.
00:08:40Nikolai walked in, smiling.
00:08:44Trying to run again, sister?
00:08:47He grabbed my broken hand and dragged me out.
00:08:53Mother wants you home tonight.
00:08:55We have very important guests.
00:08:59If you dare tell father about your hand...
00:09:01He won't.
00:09:02I'll break the rest of you, too.
00:09:05Back at the palace, the maids removed the cast from my hand.
00:09:09They wrapped it in bandages so it wouldn't show.
00:09:12They dressed me in a long white gown.
00:09:16A wedding dress.
00:09:19I stared at myself in the mirror.
00:09:22A pretty bride doll.
00:09:24The only thing I've ever been allowed to be.
00:09:27But no one told me why.
00:09:30My father came to my room.
00:09:33In 23 years, this was only our third time face-to-face.
00:09:37He was never cruel to me.
00:09:38Nor was he ever warm.
00:09:40We were strangers who shared blood.
00:09:43You're being married off tonight.
00:09:45To the demon triplet alphas of the infernal pack.
00:09:48As their shared bride.
00:09:55My world collapsed.
00:09:58The demon lords.
00:09:59Alpha triplets.
00:10:00It was a tradition that began three years ago.
00:10:04Every year, the mortal packs offer hell a royal bride.
00:10:07In exchange for peace.
00:10:12But in three years, three brides.
00:10:16Not one came back alive.
00:10:18They died horribly.
00:10:23Their bodies were hung at the pack's gate.
00:10:28Nathalia is too young.
00:10:30The fate of our pack rests in your hands.
00:10:36As your father, I never imagined it would come to us.
00:10:39You could have just sent a servant to tell me.
00:10:44That's what you always do.
00:10:46I had never spoken to him like that.
00:10:49I was terrified.
00:10:51My hand was shaking.
00:10:53The bandit showed.
00:10:55He saw it.
00:10:57His face changed.
00:11:01How did this happen?
00:11:05Before I could answer, Luna burst in.
00:11:10She smiled like sugar smeared on a blade.
00:11:14Sweetheart, how did you get hurt?
00:11:16I stared at the floor.
00:11:21I fell down the stairs.
00:11:24The doctor confirmed the fracture.
00:11:27My father stood up.
00:11:30She can't marry the triplets like this.
00:11:32Get Nathalia ready.
00:11:34Mother, please!
00:11:35I don't want to!
00:11:35Nathalia started screaming.
00:11:37I had hated her my whole life.
00:11:39But fear made us the same kind of creature.
00:11:44They're here!
00:11:45Nikolai ran into the room.
00:11:47His face painted.
00:11:48Has the Alpha King come to collect her?
00:11:50No.
00:11:50Nikolai shook his head.
00:11:56And the Demon Lords didn't send anyone either.
00:12:00They came themselves.
00:12:02They came themselves.
00:12:06No one had ever seen anything like it.
00:12:08The Demon Lords coming in person to collect their bride.
00:12:11The whole palace froze.
00:12:16Nathalia sobbed in her room.
00:12:18Draped in diamonds and white lace.
00:12:20Then she said something I never expected.
00:12:23It's my fault.
00:12:25I broke her hand.
00:12:26It was my idea.
00:12:28This is calm.
00:12:29The clock struck midnight.
00:12:32The air turned heavy, thick.
00:12:34Like a hand closing around the whole palace.
00:12:38They had arrived.
00:12:50Nathalia ran back to her room and locked the door.
00:12:55Nikolai kicked the door open and dragged her out.
00:13:02She had stopped screaming.
00:13:04She couldn't even cry anymore.
00:13:06And I, hidden behind the wall, watched it all.
00:13:08I thought of my mother.
00:13:10You can live with regret.
00:13:12But guilt kills you a little every day you're alive.
00:13:15I had nothing left.
00:13:17No dreams.
00:13:19No exam.
00:13:20No future.
00:13:20No one would cry over my death.
00:13:24If I died, it would be no one's loss.
00:13:27But if Nathalia died, I would carry it for the rest of my life.
00:13:32I lifted my skirts.
00:13:34And ran on a sprained ankle down the empty corridor.
00:13:38I reached the ballroom doors.
00:13:40The entire pack was gathered inside.
00:13:47I pushed through the crowd to where my father and Nathalia stood.
00:13:51Nikolai blocked me.
00:13:52Come to watch or suffer!
00:13:54You're the only one who finds joy in other people's pain.
00:13:57I won't.
00:13:59I walked past him.
00:14:00And stood before my father.
00:14:05I offer myself to the demon lords.
00:14:08Let Nathalia go.
00:14:11The crowd gasped as one.
00:14:14Nathalia stared at me, stunned.
00:14:16She pushed the bouquet of forget-me-nots back into my hands.
00:14:20I pulled the veil down over my face.
00:14:23I placed my hand in the crook of my father's arm.
00:14:26He didn't say a word.
00:14:28We walked down the red carpet.
00:14:31My father could only walk me this far.
00:14:33The rest of the way, I have to walk alone.
00:14:38Halfway there, my steps stopped.
00:14:41The forget-me-nots in my hands.
00:14:43Withered.
00:14:44They twisted into a bundle of red spider lilies.
00:14:47Flowers of death.
00:14:49A stain of black crept up my white gown.
00:14:52From the hem, to the bodice, to the sleeves.
00:14:56Even the veil covering my face turned black.
00:15:00I steadied myself and kept walking.
00:15:05Three figures stood above me.
00:15:11Slowly, the three of them turned together to look at me.
00:15:21Three alphas stood on the platform.
00:15:23A violent wind tore through the hall, ripping the veil from my face.
00:15:27A whisper brushed past my ear.
00:15:28It wasn't the wind.
00:15:30So sweet.
00:15:32I looked up.
00:15:33Three men.
00:15:35Tall.
00:15:35Dark.
00:15:37Impossibly handsome.
00:15:38Suits of gray and black.
00:15:40Their eyes.
00:15:41Cold.
00:15:41Black.
00:15:42Ancient.
00:15:43The first had brown eyes.
00:15:45His hair tied in a long ponytail.
00:15:47He looked at me, as if I were beneath him.
00:15:49The second had deep blue eyes.
00:15:51The second had deep blue eyes.
00:15:51He wore a playful, dangerous smile.
00:15:53The third had gray eyes, his hair unkempt.
00:15:56He simply watched me, weighing me in silence.
00:15:59Their power pressed down on me, until I felt like nothing.
00:16:02A hooded sorcerer stepped forward.
00:16:05There was no priest at this wedding.
00:16:14We are gathered to witness the soul bond.
00:16:18A wedding to a demon lord is not a wedding.
00:16:20They didn't just want my body.
00:16:22They wanted to bind my soul to theirs.
00:16:24Alpha Raven Ziphyr, step forward.
00:16:26The sorcerer raised a double-edged dagger between us.
00:16:35Look into my eyes.
00:16:37I didn't want to look.
00:16:39But my body moved on its own.
00:16:41Some unseen force was controlling it.
00:16:43We each cut a finger on the blade.
00:16:44A gem drank in our blood.
00:16:46Agony tore through my chest, like a heart attack.
00:16:49Do you give your body, blood, and soul to Raven Ziphyr?
00:16:55I... I do.
00:16:57Alpha Ezra Ziphyr, step forward.
00:17:00The blue-eyed one.
00:17:02He smiled at me, as if he couldn't see my tears.
00:17:05He forced my hand onto the blade.
00:17:07Do you, Ezra, bind your soul to hers?
00:17:11I do.
00:17:14Alpha Asha Ziphyr.
00:17:16The grey-eyed one.
00:17:18He didn't force me.
00:17:19He waited.
00:17:20He let me cut my own finger.
00:17:27I do.
00:17:28He said quietly.
00:17:29His eyes locked on mine.
00:17:31I declare their souls bound.
00:17:32The dagger twisted in the air.
00:17:34It reshaped into a crown of thorns, set with jewels of flowing blood.
00:17:38The three of them placed it on my head together.
00:17:41The thorns pierced my scalp.
00:17:43Blood ran down my face.
00:17:44The crown grew heavier.
00:17:46My soul felt like it was being torn in two.
00:17:49The whole room began to spin.
00:17:51My knees gave out.
00:17:53Raven caught my arm.
00:17:55Ezra steadied my shoulder.
00:17:57Asher wrapped his arm around my waist.
00:17:58My back against his chest.
00:18:01Ezra leaned close to my ear.
00:18:02You can't afford to be weak.
00:18:04Our wife.
00:18:08Tonight you have three husbands to attend to.
00:18:19I thought of my mother.
00:18:21You can live with regret.
00:18:23But guilt kills you a little every day you're alive.
00:18:26I had nothing left.
00:18:29No dreams.
00:18:30No exam.
00:18:31No future.
00:18:32No one would cry over my death.
00:18:36If I died it would be no one's loss.
00:18:39But if Nathalia died, I would carry it for the rest of my life.
00:18:43I lifted my skirts.
00:18:45And ran on a sprained ankle down the empty corridor.
00:18:49I reached the ballroom doors.
00:18:51The entire pack was gathered inside.
00:18:59I pushed through the crowd to where my father and Nathalia stood.
00:19:03Nikolai blocked me.
00:19:04Come to watch us suffer!
00:19:05You're the only one who finds joy in other people's pain.
00:19:08I won't.
00:19:10I walked past him.
00:19:12And stood before my father.
00:19:16I offer myself to the demon lords.
00:19:20Let Nathalia go.
00:19:22The crowd gasped as one.
00:19:25Nathalia stared at me, stunned.
00:19:28She pushed the bouquet of forget-me-nots back into my hands.
00:19:31I pulled the veil down over my face.
00:19:34I placed my hand in the crook of my father's arm.
00:19:38He didn't say a word.
00:19:39We walked down the red carpet.
00:19:42My father could only walk me this far.
00:19:45The rest of the way, I have to walk alone.
00:19:49Halfway there, my steps stopped.
00:19:52The forget-me-nots in my hands withered.
00:19:55They twisted into a bundle of red spider lilies.
00:19:58Flowers of death.
00:20:00A stain of black crept up my white gown, from the hem, to the bodice, to the sleeves, even the
00:20:08veil covering my face turned black.
00:20:10I steadied myself and kept walking.
00:20:13I steadied myself and kept walking.
00:20:16Three figures stood above me.
00:20:22Slowly, the three of them turned together to look at me.
00:20:32They never let me own anything.
00:20:34But one thing was mine.
00:20:36But one thing was mine.
00:20:37My mother's house.
00:20:40And her diaries.
00:20:42Her flowers.
00:20:43Her dreams.
00:20:44She was a gardener.
00:20:46A healer.
00:20:48She knew herbs that had no names, even in books.
00:20:51I studied every word she ever wrote.
00:20:54Tomorrow, I take the international medical entrance exam.
00:20:57If I pass, I can leave this pack forever.
00:21:02It's the only dream I have left.
00:21:05I just need to survive today.
00:21:10A gray car pulled up beside me.
00:21:13It was my half-brother, Nikolai, the Crown Prince.
00:21:16Get in.
00:21:18My stepsister, Nathalia, laughed from the window.
00:21:21Look at that ugly face.
00:21:23Someone should run her over.
00:21:24There's a drift race tonight.
00:21:26This road belongs to them.
00:21:27Nikolai grabbed my arm and dragged me into the passenger seat.
00:21:30Don't be a good little doll.
00:21:33You know what happens if you disobey me.
00:21:36The car sped off.
00:21:37He drifted it through the pack of racers.
00:21:41I heard you signed up for the Royal Medical Academy exam.
00:21:44Stop the car and let me out.
00:21:48Refusing to answer?
00:21:51You just want out?
00:21:53Then let me help you.
00:21:56He unbuckled my seatbelt and shoved me out of the speeding car.
00:21:59The ground tore my skin open.
00:22:01My arm broke.
00:22:03Nikolai reversed the car to the end of the road.
00:22:06A bastard worthy of the Royal Academy?
00:22:08He fixed the headlights on my eyes.
00:22:09Let's play a game, little sister.
00:22:11Let's see how good my brakes are.
00:22:15He hit the gasp.
00:22:16The car surged toward me.
00:22:20This world has three realms.
00:22:22The heavens, ruled by the pure moon goddess.
00:22:27The mortal realm.
00:22:28Twelve wolf packs ruled by the alpha king.
00:22:32And below it all lies hell.
00:22:35The infernal pack, ruled by three demon lords.
00:22:39Triplet werewolf demons.
00:22:42The wolves of hell are merciless.
00:22:47To keep the peace, the mortal realm began three years ago,
00:22:52offering a royal bride every year.
00:22:56Every year, no bride has come back alive.
00:23:01Instead, she is found hanged outside her own palace.
00:23:06No one knows how she was tortured.
00:23:09Three brides.
00:23:10Three princesses of alpha blood.
00:23:13Not one lived past a year.
00:23:16This year, the alpha king chose my pack.
00:23:19I was blindfolded and delivered to the bed of the demon triplets.
00:23:28Kisses and hands roamed over my body.
00:23:31I had no choice.
00:23:33I was arranged like a doll for them.
00:23:36Other hands moved up along my thighs.
00:23:39Every inch.
00:23:40Searching inward.
00:23:42I tried to close my legs.
00:23:44I couldn't.
00:23:46Why, princess?
00:23:49A mouth pressed against my chest.
00:23:51Burning, full of hunger.
00:23:54I felt warm and wet.
00:23:57But I am not an alpha princess.
00:24:01I am the forgotten omega of the royal house.
00:24:07My name is Xanthia.
00:24:09Today is the anniversary of my mother's death.
00:24:12It is also my 23rd birthday.
00:24:16She died not long after giving birth to me.
00:24:20My father is Alpha Valdemir Virgo.
00:24:24I am the proof of his affair.
00:24:26A bastard daughter.
00:24:30He brought me to the palace and raised me.
00:24:34The Luna and my step-siblings bullied me.
00:24:38Treated me as a maid.
00:24:40Filthy bastard.
00:24:41Kneel!
00:24:43Useless trap.
00:24:45You only deserve to sleep in the storage closet.
00:24:51If you don't finish scrubbing the palace floors today,
00:24:55you don't eat.
00:24:58She broke a plate.
00:25:00Drag her down.
00:25:01Lock her up for three days.
00:25:07A gray car pulled up beside me.
00:25:10It was my half-brother, Nikolai.
00:25:12The crown prince.
00:25:13Get in.
00:25:15My step-sister Nathalia laughed from the window.
00:25:18Look at that ugly face.
00:25:20Someone should run her over.
00:25:21There's a drift race tonight.
00:25:23This road belongs to them.
00:25:25Nikolai grabbed my arm and dragged me into the passenger seat.
00:25:27Be a good little doll.
00:25:30You know what happens if you disobey me.
00:25:33The car sped off.
00:25:34He drifted it through the pack of racers.
00:25:38I heard you signed up for the Royal Medical Academy exam.
00:25:41Stop the car and let me out.
00:25:45Refusing to answer?
00:25:48You just want out?
00:25:50Then let me help you.
00:25:53He unbuckled my seatbelt and shoved me out of the speeding car.
00:25:56The ground tore my skin open.
00:25:59My arm broke.
00:26:00Nikolai reversed the car to the end of the road.
00:26:02A bastard worthy of the Royal Academy?
00:26:05He fixed the headlights on my eyes.
00:26:06Let's play a game, little sister.
00:26:08Let's see how good my brakes are.
00:26:12He hit the gas.
00:26:13The car surged toward me.
00:26:20I didn't die.
00:26:23I don't know who they were.
00:26:26I took the chance and ran.
00:26:31The exam was the next afternoon.
00:26:35I got through it on painkillers, writing with a broken hand.
00:26:40One hour left.
00:26:42The proctor leaned down toward me.
00:26:48You have to leave.
00:26:50You're no longer eligible for this exam.
00:26:52I froze.
00:26:53The door opened.
00:26:55Nikolai walked in, smiling.
00:26:59Trying to run again, sister?
00:27:02He grabbed my broken hand and dragged me out.
00:27:08Mother wants you home tonight.
00:27:10We have very important guests.
00:27:14If you dare tell father about your hand...
00:27:16Be warned.
00:27:18I'll break the rest of you, too.
00:27:20Back at the palace, the maids removed the cast from my hand.
00:27:24They wrapped it in bandages so it wouldn't show.
00:27:27They dressed me in a long white gown.
00:27:31A wedding dress.
00:27:34I stared at myself in the mirror.
00:27:37A pretty bride doll.
00:27:39The only thing I've ever been allowed to be.
00:27:42But no one told me why.
00:27:45My father came to my room.
00:27:48In 23 years, this was only our third time face to face.
00:27:52He was never cruel to me.
00:27:54Nor was he ever warm.
00:27:55We were strangers who shared blood.
00:27:58You're being married off tonight.
00:28:00To the demon triplet alphas of the infernal pack.
00:28:04As their shared bride.
00:28:11My world collapsed.
00:28:12The demon lords.
00:28:14Alpha triplets.
00:28:16It was a tradition that began three years ago.
00:28:19Every year, the mortal packs offer hell a royal bride.
00:28:23In exchange for peace.
00:28:28But in three years, three brides.
00:28:31Not one came back alive.
00:28:33They died home.
00:28:38Their bodies were hung at the pack's gate.
00:28:43Nathalia is too young.
00:28:46The fate of our pack rests in your hands.
00:28:51As your father, I never imagined it would come to...
00:28:54You could have just sent a servant to tell me.
00:28:59That's what you always do.
00:29:02I had never spoken to him like that.
00:29:05I was terrified.
00:29:06My hand was shaking.
00:29:09The bandage showed.
00:29:16How did this happen?
00:29:21Before I could answer, Luna burst in.
00:29:25She smiled like sugar smeared on a blade.
00:29:29Sweetheart, how did you get hurt?
00:29:31I stared at the floor.
00:29:36I fell down the stairs.
00:29:39The doctor confirmed the fracture.
00:29:42My father stood up.
00:29:45She can't marry the triplets like this.
00:29:47Get Nathalia ready.
00:29:49Mother, please!
00:29:50I don't want to...
00:29:50Nathalia started screaming.
00:29:52I had hated her my whole life.
00:29:54But fear made us the same kind of creature.
00:30:00They're here!
00:30:01Nikolai ran into the room.
00:30:02His face...
00:30:03Has the Alpha King come to collect her?
00:30:05No.
00:30:06Nikolai shook his head.
00:30:11And the Demon Lords didn't send anyone either.
00:30:15They came themselves.
00:30:17They came themselves.
00:30:21No one had ever seen anything like it.
00:30:23The Demon Lords coming in person to collect their bride.
00:30:26The whole palace froze.
00:30:31Nathalia sobbed in her room.
00:30:33Draped in diamonds and white lace.
00:30:36Then she said something I never expected.
00:30:38It's my fault.
00:30:40I broke her hand.
00:30:42It was my idea.
00:30:43This is calm.
00:30:44The clock struck midnight.
00:30:47The air turned heavy.
00:30:49Thick.
00:30:50Like a hand closing around the whole palace.
00:30:53They had arrived.
00:31:05Nathalia ran back to her room and locked the door.
00:31:10Nikolai kicked the door open and dragged her out.
00:31:17She had stopped screaming.
00:31:19She couldn't even cry anymore.
00:31:21And I, hidden behind the wall, watched it all.
00:31:23I thought of my mother.
00:31:25You can live with regret.
00:31:27But guilt kills you a little every day in your life.
00:31:30I had nothing left.
00:31:33No dreams.
00:31:34No exam.
00:31:35No future.
00:31:36No one would cry over my death.
00:31:40If I died, it would be no one's loss.
00:31:43But if Nathalia died, I would carry it for the rest of my life.
00:31:47I lifted my skirts and ran on a sprained ankle down the empty corridor.
00:31:53I reached the ballroom doors.
00:31:55The entire pack was gathered inside.
00:32:02I pushed through the crowd to where my father and Nathalia stood.
00:32:06Nikolai blocked me.
00:32:08Come to watch us suffer!
00:32:09You're the only one who finds joy in other people's pain.
00:32:12I won't.
00:32:14I walked past him and stood before my father.
00:32:20I offer myself to the demon lords.
00:32:24Let Nathalia go.
00:32:26The crowd gasped as one.
00:32:29Nathalia stared at me, stunned.
00:32:32She pushed the bouquet of forget-me-nots back into my hands.
00:32:35I pulled the veil down over my face.
00:32:38I placed my hand in the crook of my father's arm.
00:32:42He didn't say a word.
00:32:43We walked down the red carpet.
00:32:46My father could only walk me this far.
00:32:49The rest of the way, I have to walk alone.
00:32:53Halfway there, my steps stopped.
00:32:56The forget-me-nots in my hands, withered.
00:32:59They twisted into a bundle of red spider lilies.
00:33:02Flowers of death.
00:33:04A stain of black crept up my white gown.
00:33:07From the hem, to the bodice, to the sleeves.
00:33:10Even the veil covering my face turned black.
00:33:14I steadied myself and kept walking.
00:33:20Three figures stood above me.
00:33:26Slowly, the three of them turned together to look at me.
00:33:36Three alphas stood on the platform.
00:33:38A violent wind tore through the hall, ripping the veil from my face.
00:33:42A whisper brushed past my ear.
00:33:43It wasn't the wind.
00:33:45So sweet.
00:33:47I looked up.
00:33:49Three men.
00:33:50Tall.
00:33:51Dark.
00:33:52Impossibly handsome.
00:33:53Suits of gray and black.
00:33:55Their eyes.
00:33:56Cold.
00:33:57Black.
00:33:57Ancient.
00:33:58The first had brown eyes.
00:34:00His hair tied in a long ponytail.
00:34:02He looked at me, as if I were beneath him.
00:34:04The second had deep blue eyes.
00:34:06He wore a playful, dangerous smile.
00:34:09The third had gray eyes, his hair unkempt.
00:34:11He simply watched me, weighing me in silence.
00:34:14Their power pressed down on me, until I felt like nothing.
00:34:18A hooded sorcerer stepped forward.
00:34:20There was no priest at this wedding.
00:34:29We are gathered to witness the soul bond.
00:34:33A wedding to a demon lord is not a wedding.
00:34:35They didn't just want my body.
00:34:37They wanted to bind my soul to theirs.
00:34:39Alpha Raven Ziphyr, step forward.
00:34:41The sorcerer raised a double-edged dagger between us.
00:34:50Look into my eyes.
00:34:52I didn't want to look.
00:34:54But my body moved on its own.
00:34:56Some unseen force was controlling it.
00:34:58We each cut a finger on the blade.
00:35:00A gem drank in our blood.
00:35:01Agony tore through my chest, like a heart attack.
00:35:04Do you give your body, blood, and soul to Raven Ziphyr?
00:35:10I... I do.
00:35:12Alpha Ezra Ziphyr, step forward.
00:35:16The blue-eyed one.
00:35:17He smiled at me, as if he couldn't see my tears.
00:35:20He forced my hand onto the blade.
00:35:22Do you, Ezra, bind your soul to hers?
00:35:26I do.
00:35:29Alpha Asher Ziphyr.
00:35:32The grey-eyed one.
00:35:33He didn't force me.
00:35:34He waited.
00:35:35He let me cut my own finger.
00:35:42I do.
00:35:43He said quietly, his eyes locked on mine.
00:35:46I declare their souls bound.
00:35:47The dagger twisted in the air.
00:35:49It reshaped into a crown of thorns, set with jewels of flowing blood.
00:35:53The three of them placed it on my head together.
00:35:56The thorns pierced my scalp.
00:35:58Blood ran down my face.
00:36:00The crown grew heavier.
00:36:01My soul felt like it was being torn in two.
00:36:04The whole room began to spin.
00:36:06My knees gave out.
00:36:08Raven caught my arm.
00:36:10Ezra steadied my shoulder.
00:36:12Asher wrapped his arm around my waist.
00:36:14My back against his chest.
00:36:16Ezra leaned close to my ear.
00:36:18You can't afford to be weak, our wife.
00:36:23Tonight you have three husbands to attend to.
00:36:34I thought of my mother.
00:36:36You can live with regret.
00:36:38But guilt kills you a little every day you're alive.
00:36:42I had nothing left.
00:36:44No dreams.
00:36:45No exam.
00:36:46No future.
00:36:47No one would cry over my death.
00:36:51If I died, it would be no one's loss.
00:36:54But if Nathalia died,
00:36:55I would carry it for the rest of my life.
00:36:58I lifted my skirts.
00:37:00And ran on a sprained ankle down the empty corridor.
00:37:04I reached the ballroom doors.
00:37:06The entire pack was gathered inside.
00:37:14I pushed through the crowd
00:37:15to where my father and Nathalia stood.
00:37:18Nikolai blocked me.
00:37:19Come to watch or suffer!
00:37:20You're the only one who finds joy
00:37:22in other people's pain.
00:37:23I won't.
00:37:25I walked past him
00:37:26and stood before my father.
00:37:31I offer myself to the demon lords.
00:37:35Let Nathalia go.
00:37:37The crowd gasped as one.
00:37:40Nathalia stared at me, stunned.
00:37:43She pushed the bouquet of forget-me-nots
00:37:45back into my hands.
00:37:46I pulled the veil down over my face.
00:37:50I placed my hand in the crook of my father's arm.
00:37:53He didn't say a word.
00:37:55We walked down the red carpet.
00:37:57My father could only walk me this far.
00:38:00The rest of the way, I have to walk alone.
00:38:04Halfway there, my steps stopped.
00:38:07The forget-me-nots in my hands
00:38:09withered.
00:38:11They twisted into a bundle of red spider lilies.
00:38:14Flowers of death.
00:38:15A stain of black crept up my white gown.
00:38:18From the hem, to the bodice, to the sleeves.
00:38:22Even the veil covering my face turned black.
00:38:26I steadied myself and kept walking.
00:38:31Three figures stood above me.
00:38:37Slowly, the three of them turned together to look at me.
00:38:47They never let me own anything.
00:38:49But one thing was mine.
00:38:52My mother's house.
00:38:55And her diaries.
00:38:57Her flowers.
00:38:58Her dreams.
00:39:00She was a gardener.
00:39:01A healer.
00:39:03She knew herbs that had no names,
00:39:05even in books.
00:39:07I studied every word she ever wrote.
00:39:09Tomorrow, I take the International Medical Entrance Exam.
00:39:13If I pass,
00:39:14I can leave this pack forever.
00:39:17It's the only dream I have left.
00:39:20I just need to survive today.
00:39:25A gray car pulled up beside me.
00:39:28It was my half-brother, Nikolai.
00:39:30The Crown Prince.
00:39:31Get in.
00:39:33My stepsister, Nathalia, laughed from the window.
00:39:36Look at that ugly face.
00:39:38Someone should run her over.
00:39:39There's a drift race tonight.
00:39:41This road belongs to them.
00:39:43Nikolai grabbed my arm and dragged me into the passenger seat.
00:39:46Be a good little doll.
00:39:48You know what happens if you disobey me.
00:39:51The car sped off.
00:39:53He drifted it through the pack of racers.
00:39:56I heard you signed up for the Royal Medical Academy exam.
00:39:59Stop the car and let me out.
00:40:04Refusing to answer?
00:40:06You just want out?
00:40:08Then let me help you.
00:40:11He unbuckled my seatbelt and shoved me out of the speeding car.
00:40:15The ground tore my skin open.
00:40:17My arm broke.
00:40:18Nikolai reversed the car to the end of the road.
00:40:20A bastard worthy of the Royal Academy?
00:40:23He fixed the headlights on my eyes.
00:40:24Let's play a game, little sister.
00:40:26Let's see how good my brakes are.
00:40:30He hit the gasp.
00:40:32The car surged toward him.
00:40:35This world has three realms.
00:40:38The heavens, ruled by the pure moon goddess.
00:40:42The mortal realm.
00:40:44Twelve wolf packs ruled by the alpha king.
00:40:47And below it all lies hell.
00:40:50The infernal pack, ruled by three demon lords.
00:40:54Triplet werewolf demons.
00:40:57The wolves of hell are merciless.
00:41:02To keep the peace, the mortal realm began three years ago, offering a royal bride every year.
00:41:11Every year, no bride has come back alive.
00:41:16Instead, she is found hanged outside her own palace.
00:41:21No one knows how she was tortured.
00:41:24Three brides.
00:41:25Three princesses of alpha blood.
00:41:28Not one lived past a year.
00:41:31This year, the alpha king chose my pack.
00:41:34I was blindfolded and delivered to the bed of the demon triplets.
00:41:43Kisses and hands roamed over my body.
00:41:46I had no choice.
00:41:48I was arranged like a doll for them.
00:41:51Other hands moved up along my thighs.
00:41:54Every inch.
00:41:55Searching inward.
00:41:57I tried to close my legs.
00:41:59I couldn't.
00:42:01Wider princess.
00:42:04A mouth pressed against my chest.
00:42:06Burning, full of hunger.
00:42:09I felt warm and wet.
00:42:12But I am not an alpha princess.
00:42:16I am the forgotten omega of the royal house.
00:42:22My name is Xanthea.
00:42:25Today is the anniversary of my mother's death.
00:42:28It is also my 23rd birthday.
00:42:31She died not long after giving birth to me.
00:42:35My father is Alpha Valdemir Virgo.
00:42:39I am the proof of his affair.
00:42:41A bastard daughter.
00:42:45He brought me to the palace and raised me.
00:42:50The Luna and my step-siblings bullied me, treated me as a maid.
00:42:55Filthy bastard.
00:42:57Kneel!
00:42:58Useless trash.
00:43:00You only deserve to sleep in the storage closet.
00:43:06If you don't finish scrubbing the palace floors today, you don't eat.
00:43:13She broke a plate.
00:43:15Drag her down, lock her up for three days.
00:43:23A gray car pulled up beside me.
00:43:25It was my half-brother, Nikolai.
00:43:27The crown prince.
00:43:29Get in.
00:43:30My stepsister, Nathalia, laughed from the window.
00:43:33Look at that ugly face.
00:43:35Someone should run her over.
00:43:37There's a drift race tonight.
00:43:38This road belongs to them.
00:43:40Nikolai grabbed my arm and dragged me into the passenger seat.
00:43:43Be a good little doll.
00:43:45You know what happens if you disobey me.
00:43:48The car sped off.
00:43:50He drifted it through the pack of racers.
00:43:53I heard you signed up for the Royal Medical Academy exam.
00:43:57Stop the car and let me out.
00:44:01Refusing to answer?
00:44:03You just want out?
00:44:05Then let me help you.
00:44:08He unbuckled my seatbelt and shoved me out of the speeding car.
00:44:12The ground tore my skin open.
00:44:14My arm broke.
00:44:15Nikolai reversed the car to the end of the road.
00:44:18A bastard worthy of the Royal Academy?
00:44:20He fixed the headlights on my eyes.
00:44:21Let's play a game, little sister.
00:44:24Let's see how good my brakes are.
00:44:27He hit the gas.
00:44:29The car surged toward me.
00:44:35I didn't die.
00:44:38I don't know who they were.
00:44:41I took the chance and ran.
00:44:46The exam was the next afternoon.
00:44:50I got through it on painkillers, writing with a broken hand.
00:44:56One hour left.
00:44:58The proctor leaned down toward me.
00:45:04You have to leave.
00:45:05You're no longer eligible for this exam.
00:45:07I froze.
00:45:08The door opened.
00:45:10Nikolai walked in, smiling.
00:45:15Trying to run again, sister.
00:45:17He grabbed my broken hand and dragged me out.
00:45:23Mother wants you home tonight.
00:45:25We have very important guests.
00:45:29If you dare tell father about your hand...
00:45:31He warned.
00:45:33I'll break the rest of you, too.
00:45:35Back at the palace, the maids removed the cast from my hand.
00:45:39They wrapped it in bandages so it wouldn't show.
00:45:43They dressed me in a long white gown.
00:45:46A wedding dress.
00:45:50I stared at myself in the mirror.
00:45:52A pretty bride doll.
00:45:54The only thing I've ever been allowed to be.
00:45:57But no one told me why.
00:46:00My father came to my room.
00:46:03In 23 years, this was only our third time face-to-face.
00:46:07He was never cruel to me.
00:46:09Nor was he ever warm.
00:46:10We were strangers who shared blood.
00:46:13You're being married off tonight.
00:46:15To the demon triplet alphas of the infernal pack.
00:46:19As their shared bride.
00:46:26My world collapsed.
00:46:28The demon lords.
00:46:29Alpha triplets.
00:46:31It was a tradition that began three years ago.
00:46:33Every year, the mortal packs offer Hell a royal bride.
00:46:38In exchange for peace.
00:46:43But in three years, three brides.
00:46:46Not one came back alive.
00:46:48They died only.
00:46:53Their bodies were hung at the pack's gate.
00:46:58Nathalia is too young.
00:47:01The fate of our pack rests in your hands.
00:47:06As your father, I never imagined it would come to you.
00:47:09You could have just sent a servant to tell me.
00:47:14That's what you always do.
00:47:17I had never spoken to him like that.
00:47:20I was terrified.
00:47:22My hand was shaking.
00:47:24The bandage showed.
00:47:25He saw it.
00:47:27His face changed.
00:47:31How did this happen?
00:47:36Before I could answer, Luna burst in.
00:47:40She smiled like sugar smeared on a blade.
00:47:44Sweetheart, how did you get hurt?
00:47:46I stared at the floor.
00:47:51I fell down the stairs.
00:47:54The doctor confirmed the fracture.
00:47:57My father stood up.
00:48:00She can't marry the triplets like this.
00:48:02Get Nathalia ready.
00:48:04Mother, please!
00:48:05I don't want to!
00:48:06Nathalia started screaming.
00:48:08I had hated her my whole life.
00:48:10But fear made us the same kind of creature.
00:48:15They're here!
00:48:16Nikolai ran into the room.
00:48:17His face peaked.
00:48:18Has the Alpha King come to collect her?
00:48:20No.
00:48:21Nikolai shook his head.
00:48:27And the demon lords didn't send anyone either.
00:48:30They came themselves.
00:48:36No one had ever seen anything like it.
00:48:38The demon lords coming in person to collect their bride.
00:48:41The whole palace froze.
00:48:46Nathalia sobbed in her room,
00:48:48draped in diamonds and white lace.
00:48:50Then she said something I never expected.
00:48:54It's my fault.
00:48:55I broke her hand.
00:48:57It was my idea.
00:48:58This is calm.
00:48:59The clock struck midnight.
00:49:02The air turned heavy, thick,
00:49:05like a hand closing around the whole palace.
00:49:08They had arrived.
00:49:20Nathalia ran back to her room and locked the door.
00:49:25Nikolai kicked the door open and dragged her out.
00:49:32She had stopped screaming.
00:49:34She couldn't even cry anymore.
00:49:36An eye, hidden behind the wall, watched it all.
00:49:39I thought of my mother.
00:49:40You can live with regret.
00:49:42But guilt kills you a little every day alive.
00:49:46I had nothing left.
00:49:48No dreams.
00:49:49No exam.
00:49:50No future.
00:49:51No one would cry over my death.
00:49:55If I died, it would be no one's loss.
00:49:58But if Nathalia died,
00:49:59I would carry it for the rest of my life.
00:50:02I lifted my skirts
00:50:04and ran on a sprained ankle down the empty corridor.
00:50:08I reached the ballroom doors.
00:50:10The entire pack was gathered inside.
00:50:18I pushed through the crowd to where my father and Nathalia stood.
00:50:22Nikolai blocked me.
00:50:23Come to watch us suffer!
00:50:24You're the only one who finds joy in other people's pain.
00:50:27I won't.
00:50:29I walked past him
00:50:30and stood before my father.
00:50:35I offer myself to the demon lords.
00:50:39Let Nathalia go.
00:50:41The crowd gasped as one.
00:50:44Nathalia stared at me, stunned.
00:50:47She pushed the bouquet of forget-me-nots back into my hands.
00:50:50I pulled the veil down over my face.
00:50:53I placed my hand in the crook of my father's arm.
00:50:57He didn't say a word.
00:50:58We walked down the red carpet.
00:51:01My father could only walk me this far.
00:51:04The rest of the way, I have to walk alone.
00:51:08Halfway there, my steps stopped.
00:51:11The forget-me-nots in my hands
00:51:14withered.
00:51:14They twisted into a bundle of red spider lilies.
00:51:18Flowers of death.
00:51:19A stain of black crept up my white gown.
00:51:22From the hem,
00:51:23to the bodice,
00:51:25to the sleeves.
00:51:26Even the veil covering my face turned black.
00:51:30I steadied myself and kept walking.
00:51:35Three figures stood above me.
00:51:40Slowly,
00:51:42the three of them turned together to look at me.
00:51:52Three alphas stood on the platform.
00:51:54A violent wind tore through the hall,
00:51:55ripping the veil from my face.
00:51:57A whisper brushed past my ear.
00:51:59It wasn't the wind.
00:52:01So sweet.
00:52:02I looked up.
00:52:04Three men.
00:52:05Tall.
00:52:06Dark.
00:52:07Impossibly handsome.
00:52:09Suits of gray and black.
00:52:10Their eyes.
00:52:11Cold.
00:52:12Black.
00:52:12Ancient.
00:52:13The first had brown eyes,
00:52:15his hair tied in a long ponytail.
00:52:17He looked at me,
00:52:18as if I were beneath him.
00:52:19The second had deep blue eyes.
00:52:21He wore a playful,
00:52:22dangerous smile.
00:52:24The third had gray eyes,
00:52:25his hair unkempt.
00:52:26He simply watched me,
00:52:28weighing me in silence.
00:52:29Their power pressed down on me,
00:52:31until I felt like nothing.
00:52:33A hooded sorcerer stepped forward.
00:52:35There was no priest at this wedding.
00:52:44We are gathered to witness the soul bond.
00:52:48A wedding to a demon lord is not a wedding.
00:52:51They didn't just want my body.
00:52:52They wanted to bind my soul to theirs.
00:52:54Alpha, Raven, Ziphyr.
00:52:55Step forward.
00:52:57The sorcerer raised a double-edged dagger between us.
00:53:05Look into my eyes.
00:53:07I didn't want to look.
00:53:09But my body moved on its own.
00:53:11Some unseen force was controlling it.
00:53:13We each cut a finger on the blade.
00:53:15A gem drank in our blood.
00:53:16Agony tore through my chest,
00:53:18like a heart attack.
00:53:19Do you give your body,
00:53:21blood,
00:53:21and soul to Raven, Ziphyr?
00:53:25I...
00:53:25I do.
00:53:27Alpha, Ezra, Ziphyr.
00:53:29Step forward.
00:53:31The blue-eyed one.
00:53:32He smiled at me,
00:53:33as if he couldn't see my tears.
00:53:35He forced my hand onto the blade.
00:53:37Do you, Ezra,
00:53:39bind your soul to hers?
00:53:41I do.
00:53:45Alpha, Asha, Ziphyr.
00:53:47The grey-eyed one.
00:53:48He didn't force me.
00:53:49He waited.
00:53:50He let me cut my own finger.
00:53:57I do.
00:53:58He said quietly,
00:53:59his eyes locked on mine.
00:54:01I declare their souls bound.
00:54:03The dagger twisted in the air.
00:54:04It reshaped into a crown of thorns,
00:54:06set with jewels of flowing blood.
00:54:09The three of them placed it on my head together.
00:54:11The thorns pierced my scalp.
00:54:13Blood ran down my face.
00:54:15The crown grew heavier.
00:54:16My soul felt like it was being torn in two.
00:54:19The whole room began to spin.
00:54:21My knees gave out.
00:54:23Raven caught my arm.
00:54:25Ezra steadied my shoulder.
00:54:27Asher wrapped his arm around my waist,
00:54:29my back against his chest.
00:54:31Ezra leaned close to my ear.
00:54:33You can't afford to be weak,
00:54:35our wife.
00:54:38Tonight you have three husbands to attend to.
00:54:50I thought of my mother.
00:54:51You can live with regret.
00:54:53But guilt kills you a little
00:54:55every day you're alive.
00:54:57I had nothing left.
00:54:59No dreams.
00:55:00No exam.
00:55:01No future.
00:55:02No one would cry over my death.
00:55:06If I died,
00:55:07it would be no one's loss.
00:55:09But if Nathalia died,
00:55:10I would carry it for the rest of my life.
00:55:13I lifted my skirts
00:55:15and ran on a sprained ankle
00:55:17down the empty corridor.
00:55:19I reached the ballroom doors.
00:55:22The entire pack was gathered inside.
00:55:29I pushed through the crowd
00:55:30to where my father and Nathalia stood.
00:55:33Nikolai blocked me.
00:55:34Come to watch us suffer!
00:55:35You're the only one who finds joy
00:55:37in other people's pain.
00:55:39I won't.
00:55:40I walked past him
00:55:42and stood before my father.
00:55:46I offer myself to the demon lords.
00:55:50Let Nathalia go.
00:55:53The crowd gasped as one.
00:55:56Nathalia stared at me,
00:55:57stunned.
00:55:58She pushed the bouquet of forget-me-nots back into my hands.
00:56:02I pulled the veil down over my face.
00:56:05I placed my hand in the crook of my father's arm.
00:56:08He didn't say a word.
00:56:10We walked down the red carpet.
00:56:12My father could only walk me this far.
00:56:15The rest of the way,
00:56:16The rest of the way,
00:56:16I have to walk alone.
00:56:19Halfway there,
00:56:20my steps stopped.
00:56:23The forget-me-nots in my hands
00:56:25withered.
00:56:26They twisted into a bundle of red spider lilies,
00:56:29flowers of death.
00:56:31A stain of black crept up my white gown.
00:56:33From the hem,
00:56:34to the bodice,
00:56:36to the sleeves,
00:56:37even the veil covering my face turned black.
00:56:41I steadied myself and kept walking.
00:56:46Three figures stood above me.
00:56:52Slowly,
00:56:53the three of them turned together to look at me.
00:57:02They never let me own anything.
00:57:04But one thing was mine.
00:57:07My mother's house.
00:57:10And her diaries.
00:57:12Her flowers.
00:57:13Her dreams.
00:57:15She was a gardener.
00:57:16A healer.
00:57:18She knew herbs that had no names,
00:57:20even in books.
00:57:22I studied every word she ever wrote.
00:57:24Tomorrow,
00:57:25I take the International Medical Entrance Exam.
00:57:28If I pass,
00:57:29I can leave this pack forever.
00:57:33It's the only dream I have left.
00:57:35I just need to survive today.
00:57:41A gray car pulled up beside me.
00:57:43It was my half-brother, Nikolai,
00:57:45the Crown Prince.
00:57:47Get in.
00:57:48My stepsister,
00:57:49Nathalia,
00:57:50laughed from the window.
00:57:51Look at that ugly face.
00:57:53Someone should run her over.
00:57:55There's a drift race tonight.
00:57:56This road belongs to them.
00:57:58Nikolai grabbed my arm
00:57:59and dragged me into the passenger seat.
00:58:01Be a good little doll.
00:58:03You know what happens
00:58:04if you disobey me.
00:58:06The car sped off.
00:58:08He drifted it through
00:58:09the pack of racers.
00:58:11I heard you signed up
00:58:13for the Royal Medical Academy Exam.
00:58:15Stop the car
00:58:15and let me out.
00:58:19Refusing to answer?
00:58:21You just want out?
00:58:23Then let me help you.
00:58:26He unbuckled my seatbelt
00:58:28and shoved me out
00:58:29of the speeding car.
00:58:30The ground tore my skin open.
00:58:32My arm broke.
00:58:33Nikolai reversed the car
00:58:35to the end of the road.
00:58:36A bastard
00:58:37worthy of the Royal Academy?
00:58:38He fixed the headlights
00:58:39on my eyes.
00:58:40Let's play a game,
00:58:41little sister.
00:58:42Let's see how good
00:58:42my brakes are.
00:58:45He hit the gas.
00:58:47The car surged toward me.
00:58:50This world has three realms.
00:58:53The heavens,
00:58:54ruled by the pure moon goddess.
00:58:57The mortal realm,
00:58:59twelve wolf packs
00:59:00ruled by the Alpha King.
00:59:03And below it all lies hell.
00:59:05The infernal pack,
00:59:07ruled by three demon lords,
00:59:09triplet werewolf demons.
00:59:12The wolves of hell
00:59:14are merciless.
00:59:17To keep the peace,
00:59:19the mortal realm began
00:59:20three years ago,
00:59:22offering a royal bride
00:59:24every year.
00:59:26Every year,
00:59:27no bride has come back alive.
00:59:31Instead,
00:59:32she is found hanged
00:59:34outside her own palace.
00:59:36No one knows
00:59:37how she was tortured.
00:59:39Three brides.
00:59:41Three princesses
00:59:42of alpha blood.
00:59:43Not one lived past a year.
00:59:46This year,
00:59:47the Alpha King
00:59:48chose my pack.
00:59:49I was blindfolded
00:59:51and delivered
00:59:51to the bed
00:59:52of the demon triplets.
00:59:58Kisses and hands
00:59:59roamed over my body.
01:00:01I had no choice.
01:00:03I was arranged
01:00:04like a doll for them.
01:00:06Other hands
01:00:07moved up along my thighs,
01:00:09every inch,
01:00:11searching inward.
01:00:12I tried to close my legs.
01:00:15I couldn't.
01:00:17Why the princess?
01:00:19A mouth pressed
01:00:20against my chest,
01:00:21burning,
01:00:22full of hunger.
01:00:24I felt warm and wet.
01:00:27But I am not
01:00:29an alpha princess.
01:00:31I am the forgotten
01:00:33omega of the royal house.
01:00:37My name is Xanthia.
01:00:40Today is the anniversary
01:00:41of my mother's death.
01:00:43It is also
01:00:44my 23rd birthday.
01:00:46She died not long
01:00:47after giving birth to me.
01:00:51My father is
01:00:52Alpha Valdemir Virgo.
01:00:54I am the proof
01:00:55of his affair.
01:00:56A bastard daughter.
01:01:00He brought me
01:01:01to the palace
01:01:02and raised me.
01:01:05The Luna
01:01:06and my step-siblings
01:01:07bullied me,
01:01:08treated me as a maid.
01:01:10Filthy bastard!
01:01:12Kneel!
01:01:13Useless trap.
01:01:15You only deserve
01:01:16to sleep in the storage closet.
01:01:21If you don't finish
01:01:22scrubbing the palace floors today,
01:01:25you don't eat.
01:01:28She broke a plate.
01:01:30Drag her down,
01:01:31lock her up
01:01:32for three days.
01:01:38A gray car pulled up
01:01:39beside me.
01:01:40It was my half-brother,
01:01:42Nikolai,
01:01:42the crown prince.
01:01:44Get in.
01:01:45My stepsister,
01:01:46Nathalia,
01:01:47laughed from the window.
01:01:48Look at that ugly face.
01:01:50Someone should run her over.
01:01:52There's a drift race tonight.
01:01:53This road belongs to them.
01:01:55Nikolai grabbed my arm
01:01:56and dragged me
01:01:57into the passenger seat.
01:01:58Be a good little doll.
01:02:01You know what happens
01:02:02if you disobey me.
01:02:03The car sped off.
01:02:05He drifted it
01:02:06through the pack of racers.
01:02:09I heard you signed up
01:02:10for the Royal Medical Academy exam.
01:02:12Stop the car
01:02:12and let me out.
01:02:16Refusing to answer?
01:02:18You just want out?
01:02:20Then let me help you.
01:02:23He unbuckled my seatbelt
01:02:25and shoved me out
01:02:26of the speeding car.
01:02:27The ground tore my skin open.
01:02:29My arm broke.
01:02:30Nikolai reversed the car
01:02:32to the end of the road.
01:02:33A bastard
01:02:34worthy of the Royal Academy?
01:02:35He fixed the headlights
01:02:36on my eyes.
01:02:37Let's play a game,
01:02:38little sister.
01:02:39Let's see how good
01:02:40my brakes are.
01:02:42He hit the gas.
01:02:44The car surged
01:02:45toward me.
01:02:50I didn't die.
01:02:53I don't know
01:02:54who they were.
01:02:56I took the chance
01:02:57and ran.
01:03:01The exam was
01:03:02the next afternoon.
01:03:05I got through it
01:03:06on painkillers
01:03:07writing with a broken hand.
01:03:11One hour left.
01:03:13The proctor
01:03:14leaned down toward me.
01:03:19You have to leave.
01:03:20You're no longer
01:03:21eligible for this exam.
01:03:22I froze.
01:03:23The door opened.
01:03:25Nikolai walked in,
01:03:26smiling.
01:03:30Trying to run again,
01:03:31sister?
01:03:32He grabbed my broken hand
01:03:34and dragged me out.
01:03:38Mother wants you home tonight.
01:03:40We have very important guests.
01:03:44If you dare tell father
01:03:46about your hand...
01:03:47He won't.
01:03:48I'll break the rest of you, too.
01:03:50Back at the palace,
01:03:51the maids removed
01:03:52the cast from my hand.
01:03:54They wrapped it in bandages
01:03:56so it wouldn't show.
01:03:58They dressed me
01:03:59in a long white gown.
01:04:01A wedding dress.
01:04:05I stared at myself
01:04:06in the mirror.
01:04:08A pretty bride doll.
01:04:09The only thing
01:04:10I've ever been allowed to be.
01:04:12But no one told me why.
01:04:15My father came to my room.
01:04:18In 23 years,
01:04:20this was only
01:04:20our third time
01:04:21face to face.
01:04:22He was never cruel to me,
01:04:24nor was he ever warm.
01:04:26We were strangers
01:04:27who shared blood.
01:04:28You're being married off tonight
01:04:30to the demon triplet
01:04:32alphas of the infernal pack
01:04:34as their shared bride.
01:04:41My world collapsed.
01:04:43The demon lords.
01:04:45Alpha triplets.
01:04:45It was a tradition
01:04:47that began three years ago.
01:04:49Every year,
01:04:50the mortal packs
01:04:51offer hell a royal bride
01:04:53in exchange for peace.
01:04:58But in three years,
01:05:00three brides,
01:05:02not one,
01:05:02came back alive.
01:05:03They died horribly.
01:05:08Their bodies were hung
01:05:09at the pack's gate.
01:05:13Nathalia is too young.
01:05:16The fate of our pack
01:05:17rests on your hands.
01:05:22As your father,
01:05:23I never imagined
01:05:24it would come to me.
01:05:25You could have just
01:05:25sent a servant
01:05:26to tell me.
01:05:29That's what you always do.
01:05:32I had never spoken
01:05:33to him like that.
01:05:35I was terrified.
01:05:37My hand was shaking.
01:05:39The bandit showed.
01:05:41He saw it.
01:05:42His face changed.
01:05:46How did this happen?
01:05:51Before I could answer,
01:05:53Luna burst in.
01:05:55She smiled like sugar
01:05:57smeared on a blade.
01:05:59Sweetheart,
01:06:00how did you get hurt?
01:06:01I stared at the floor.
01:06:06I fell down the stairs.
01:06:09The doctor confirmed
01:06:11the fracture.
01:06:12My father stood up.
01:06:15She can't marry
01:06:16the triplets like this.
01:06:17Get Nathalia ready.
01:06:19Mother, please!
01:06:20I don't want to die!
01:06:21Nathalia started screaming.
01:06:23I had hated her
01:06:24my whole life.
01:06:25But fear made us
01:06:26the same kind of creature.
01:06:30They're here!
01:06:31Nikolai ran into the room.
01:06:32His face pale.
01:06:33Has the Alpha King
01:06:34come to collect her?
01:06:35No.
01:06:36Nikolai shook his head.
01:06:42And the Demon Lords
01:06:43didn't send anyone either.
01:06:45They came themselves.
01:06:51No one had ever seen
01:06:52anything like it.
01:06:53The Demon Lords
01:06:54coming in person
01:06:55to collect their bride.
01:06:57The whole palace froze.
01:07:01Nathalia sobbed in her room,
01:07:03draped in diamonds
01:07:05and white lace.
01:07:06Then she said something
01:07:07I never expected.
01:07:09It's my fault.
01:07:10I broke her hand.
01:07:12It was my idea.
01:07:13This is calm.
01:07:15The clock struck midnight.
01:07:18The air turned heavy,
01:07:19thick,
01:07:20like a hand closing
01:07:21around the whole palace.
01:07:23They had arrived.
01:07:36Nathalia ran back
01:07:37to her room
01:07:37and locked the door.
01:07:40Nikolai kicked the door open
01:07:42and dragged her out.
01:07:43No!
01:07:45No!
01:07:47She had stopped screaming.
01:07:49She couldn't even cry anymore.
01:07:51And I,
01:07:52hidden behind the wall,
01:07:53watched it all.
01:07:54I thought of my mother.
01:07:55You can live with regret.
01:07:57But guilt kills you a little
01:07:59every day you're alive.
01:08:01I had nothing left.
01:08:03No dreams.
01:08:04No exam.
01:08:05No future.
01:08:06No one would cry
01:08:07over my death.
01:08:10If I died,
01:08:11it would be no one's loss.
01:08:13But if Nathalia died,
01:08:14I would carry it
01:08:15for the rest of my life.
01:08:17I lifted my skirts
01:08:19and ran on a sprained ankle
01:08:21down the empty corridor.
01:08:23I reached the ballroom doors.
01:08:26The entire pack
01:08:27was gathered inside.
01:08:33I pushed through the crowd
01:08:34to where my father
01:08:35and Nathalia stood.
01:08:37Nikolai blocked me.
01:08:38Come to watch us suffer!
01:08:39You're the only one
01:08:40who finds joy
01:08:41in other people's pain.
01:08:42I won't.
01:08:44I walked past him
01:08:46and stood before my father.
01:08:50I offered myself
01:08:51to the demon lords.
01:08:54Let Nathalia go.
01:08:56The crowd gasped as one.
01:09:00Nathalia stared at me,
01:09:01stunned.
01:09:02She pushed the bouquet
01:09:03of forget-me-nots
01:09:04back into my hands.
01:09:06I pulled the veil
01:09:07down over my face.
01:09:09I placed my hand
01:09:10in the crook
01:09:10of my father's arm.
01:09:12He didn't say a word.
01:09:14We walked down
01:09:14the red carpet.
01:09:16My father could only
01:09:17walk me this far.
01:09:19The rest of the way,
01:09:20I have to walk alone.
01:09:23Halfway there,
01:09:24my steps stopped.
01:09:27The forget-me-nots
01:09:28in my hands
01:09:28withered.
01:09:30They twisted into a bundle
01:09:31of red spider lilies,
01:09:33flowers of death.
01:09:34A stain of black
01:09:36crept up my white gown.
01:09:37From the hem,
01:09:38to the bodice,
01:09:40to the sleeves,
01:09:41even the veil
01:09:42covering my face
01:09:43turned black.
01:09:45I steadied myself
01:09:46and kept walking.
01:09:50Three figures
01:09:51stood above me.
01:09:56Slowly,
01:09:57the three of them
01:09:58turned together
01:09:58to look at me.
01:10:07Three alphas
01:10:08stood on the platform.
01:10:09A violent wind
01:10:10tore through the hall,
01:10:11ripping the veil
01:10:11from my face.
01:10:12A whisper brushed
01:10:13past my ear.
01:10:14It wasn't the wind.
01:10:16So sweet.
01:10:18I looked up.
01:10:19Three men.
01:10:20Tall.
01:10:21Dark.
01:10:22Impossibly handsome.
01:10:24Suits of gray and black.
01:10:25Their eyes.
01:10:26Cold.
01:10:27Black.
01:10:28Ancient.
01:10:28The first had brown eyes,
01:10:30his hair tied in a long ponytail.
01:10:32He looked at me
01:10:33as if I were beneath him.
01:10:34The second had deep blue eyes.
01:10:36He wore a playful,
01:10:38dangerous smile.
01:10:39The third had gray eyes,
01:10:41his hair unkempt.
01:10:42He simply watched me,
01:10:43weighing me in silence.
01:10:45Their power pressed down on me
01:10:46until I felt like nothing.
01:10:48A hooded sorcerer stepped forward.
01:10:51There was no priest at this wedding.
01:11:03A wedding to a demon lord
01:11:05is not a wedding.
01:11:06They didn't just want my body.
01:11:07They wanted to bind my soul to theirs.
01:11:09Alpha Raven Ziphyr,
01:11:11step forward.
01:11:12The sorcerer raised
01:11:13a double-edged dagger between us.
01:11:21Look into my eyes.
01:11:22I didn't want to look.
01:11:24But my body moved on its own.
01:11:26Some unseen force was controlling it.
01:11:28We each cut a finger on the blade.
01:11:30A gem drank in our blood.
01:11:31Agony tore through my chest,
01:11:33like a heart attack.
01:11:35Do you give your body,
01:11:36blood,
01:11:37and soul
01:11:37to Raven Ziphyr?
01:11:40I...
01:11:40I do.
01:11:42Alpha Ezra Ziphyr,
01:11:44step forward.
01:11:46The blue-eyed one.
01:11:47He smiled at me
01:11:48as if he couldn't see my tears.
01:11:50He forced my hand onto the blade.
01:11:52Do you, Ezra,
01:11:54bind your soul to hers?
01:11:57I do.
01:12:00Alpha Asher Ziphyr.
01:12:02The grey-eyed one.
01:12:03He didn't force me.
01:12:05He waited.
01:12:05He let me cut my own finger.
01:12:12I do.
01:12:13He said quietly,
01:12:14his eyes locked on mine.
01:12:16I declare their souls bound.
01:12:18The dagger twisted in the air.
01:12:19It reshaped into a crown of thorns,
01:12:22set with jewels of flowing blood.
01:12:24The three of them placed it on my head together.
01:12:26The thorns pierced my scalp.
01:12:28Blood ran down my face.
01:12:30The crown grew heavier.
01:12:31My soul felt like it was being torn in two.
01:12:34The whole room began to spin.
01:12:37My knees gave out.
01:12:39Raven caught my arm.
01:12:40Ezra steadied my shoulder.
01:12:42Asher wrapped his arm around my waist.
01:12:44My back against his chest.
01:12:46Ezra leaned close to my ear.
01:12:48You can't afford to be weak,
01:12:50our wife.
01:12:53Tonight,
01:12:54you have three husbands to attend to.
01:12:56It's all kind of full sizes.
01:12:58I do.
01:12:58I do.
01:13:00I do.
01:13:03I do.
01:13:04I do.
01:13:05I do.
01:13:05I do.
