Short filmTranscript
00:00My fiancé brought his pregnant mistress to our mating ceremony and told me I would raise their
00:04child. He didn't say it in private. Damon said it on the altar where he was supposed to claim me.
00:08In front of the entire pack, Lyra stood beside him in pale gold silk, one hand resting on her
00:12belly. Lyra, my friend from the Omega Quarters. The girl who had slept two beds away from me for
00:17years. On her wrist was my silver bracelet. Last winter, Damon had given it to me after three young
00:21alphas mocked my Omega blood. He promised no one would ever make me bow again. A week ago,
00:26a servant came and asked me to send it back. For the ceremony. I didn't question it. Now I
00:30understood. Lyra saw me looking. She touched the bracelet gently, like it might break. He wanted
00:34me to have it. I hope you don't mind. She knew I did. Damon didn't stop her. He only looked
00:39at me
00:39cold. I won't bond with you, Serafina. The elders care about your silver blood. They think it can
00:45crown the next alpha king. He pulled Lyra closer. But Lyra is carrying my air. My throat burned. That
00:50bracelet was mine. Lyra flinched behind Damon's arm, as if I had hurt her. Damon glanced at the
00:55bracelet. Then back at me. It was a promise to a girl who needed protecting. His hand covered
00:59Lyra's stomach. She gives me a future. Lyra looked at me from behind him. Tears shining in her eyes.
01:04Small. Fragile. Victorious. Then Damon turned to the entire hall. When my pup is born, Serafina will
01:09raise it as her own. For one second, I thought I had misheard him. Then Damon made it worse. You'll
01:15serve Lyra through the pregnancy. Nurse her through recovery. Raise my air as your own. He said it like
01:21he was assigning chores to the lowest wolf in the room. Maybe he was. I was Serafina. The only
01:25silver blood air Silvercrest had seen in a thousand years. The prophecy said whoever completed a bond
01:30with me could awaken true alpha power and claim the alpha king's throne. But I was also an omega.
01:34The rank everyone stepped on until they needed something. Damon had decided my blood was useful.
01:39But I was not. Lyra gave a soft gasp beside him. Damon don't say it like that. Serafina has always
01:44been
01:44so good at taking care of people. In the omega quarters. She helped everyone. I'm sure she won't
01:50punish an innocent pup just because she's hurt. The hall went silent. Every stare landed on me.
01:54Waiting for me to cry. To beg. To bow like a good little omega. My eyes burned. Not because Damon
01:59had
01:59rejected me. Because Lyra knew every soft place I kept hidden. And still chose to press her hand
02:04against it. The claim was never sealed. No blood oath. No mark. Under the old laws it can still be
02:10revoked. One elder exchanged a look with another. That is technically true. I looked at Damon. I may be an
02:16omega. But I am not her servant. And I will not raise the child you made with her. I revoke
02:25the
02:25claim. If any wolf here is willing to claim me tonight. I accept. The whispers came fast.
02:31Silverblood. Did Damon just throw away the prophecy? If someone claims her now. I could see it in their
02:37faces. Shock. Hunger. Calculation. For one second. I thought someone might actually step forward. Then
02:42Damon's voice cut through. Your name is still written into the royal reet. The room froze.
02:46Until the elders formally dissolve this ceremony. Anyone who steps forward is openly defying the
02:52crown. No one moved. That had been his plan. Not to bond me. Not to free me. To keep me
02:56trapped under
02:56the royal right until the elders could turn me into something quieter. Something useful. Lyra's servant.
03:01His heir's caretaker. A silverblood omega no other man would dare touch. Damon stepped close
03:05enough for only me to hear. Sarah. My chest twisted. That name used to be soft in his mouth.
03:10Tonight. It was a blade. Don't embarrass yourself. Then he turned to the hall.
03:13No one wants you badly enough to start a war. For one terrible second. I thought he was right.
03:18Not because I wasn't valuable. But because every wolf in that room wanted my blood more than they
03:22wanted to save me. Then the doors at the far end of the hall swung open. But before anyone could
03:26see
03:26who had entered. Moira arrived first. Moira. Damon's mother. The Luna matriarch. Swept into the hall like a
03:31storm in silk. She took one look at Lyra behind Damon and slapped her across the face. The crack echoed
03:36off
03:36every wall. Shameless omega. You dare turn a royal treat into a spectacle? Lyra fell to the floor.
03:42Clutching her cheek. Tears already spilling. Damon lunged forward and shielded her. She's under my
03:45protection. Moira stared at him like she was seeing him clearly for the first time. Then she turned to
03:50me. Her voice softened. Sarah Fauna dear. Damon has humiliated you. I will deal with him. But you must
03:55not act rashly. Let me close this ceremony quietly. The crown will keep you protected until we decide
04:01where you belong. Where I belonged. Not what I wanted. Not who I chose. I pulled my hand free.
04:06You bound me to Damon for my blood. Then he brought her here with his heir and told me to
04:11raise their
04:11child. My voice shook. But I did not stop. I will not be their servant. The hall went silent. I
04:17will
04:17not nurse his mistress through pregnancy. And I will not raise another woman's child because Damon
04:22thinks an omega should be grateful for scraps. Moira's eyes hardened. Careful girl. You are still
04:27standing inside a royal treat. Your blood belongs to Silverhrest before it belongs to you. My stomach
04:32went cold. There it was. Damon wanted me useful. Lyra wanted me beneath her. Moira wanted me
04:37own. If no one claims you tonight the elders will decide your future. Damon smiled again. For the
04:42first time that night I felt truly trapped. Then a low voice cut through the hall. Does her
04:46offer still stay? Every head turned. Kale stood at the far end of the hall. Tall. Dressed in black. Pale
04:50as
04:51winter. Aldric's firstborn. Damon's older half-brother. The true alpha heir by blood. And the cursed
04:55one who still couldn't shift. He took one step forward. Then stopped. Just for half a second. His
05:00hand touched the doorframe. Everyone saw it. The cursed heir could barely stand. Damon laughed under
05:05his breath. Careful brother. If she chooses you she won't be a be a bride by sunrise. A few wolves
05:10laughed. Moira's face went white. Kale don't be stupid. You know what silver blood does to a cursed
05:16wolf. It could kill you. Kale ignored her. His gray eyes stayed on me. What you just said. Does it
05:21still
05:21stand? My throat tightened. Before I could answer. Damon stepped in. No. The whole hall froze. Damon's
05:27smile sharpened. She said any wolf. Not a dead one pretending he still has a claim. Kale's face did
05:32not change. Damon moved closer to me. Look at him Sarah. He can't protect you. He can't shift. He can
05:39barely stand. If you choose him this wedding becomes a funeral before sunrise. Lyra's eyes widened soft and
05:46wet. Don't do this to yourself Serafina. You don't have to ruin yourself just because you're hurt.
05:50Moira seized the silence. If no suitable wolf claims you tonight. The elders will decide your
05:56future. The room closed around me again. Damon held out his hand. Not like a lover. Like a leash.
06:01Last chance Sarah. His smile was cold. Stand down. For one second. The whole hall waited. They all
06:07thought I would break. I looked past his hand. At Kale. Thin as paper. Pale as death. A cursed heir
06:12the
06:12entire pack had already buried. And still. He was the only man in that room who had asked for my
06:17answer.
06:17Not my blood. Not my obedience. Not my usefulness. My answer. So I stepped around Damon's hand. His
06:23smile vanished. Lyra's face changed. The hall went silent. I walked toward Kale. Every step felt like
06:28I was cutting a rope around my throat. Damon's voice snapped behind me. Serafina. I didn't stop. Girl
06:33think carefully. I did. For the first time all night. I did. Then I stopped in front of Kale. He
06:38looked down
06:39at me. Gray eyes steady. What you said. Does it still stand? My hands were still shaking. But my answer
06:45did not. Yes. The hall exploded. Kale did not look at Damon. Did not look at Moira. Only me.
06:50Then I claim her. A few elders half froze. Then froze. Because a claim spoken and accepted before
06:55the right could not be taken back. Damon laughed. Loud enough for the whole hall to hear. Go on
07:00brother. Take her hand. Are you done making a scene Sarah? If you stop now. Lyra and I might still
07:06forgive you. You can still stay where you belong. He looked me up and down. Lyra leaned into him. Worry
07:11flickering
07:11across her face like another part of the performance. The hall went dead silent. Kale
07:15held out his hand. At the same time I reached for him. Our fingers locked. The ritual lines blazed
07:20white. Then black marks burst from beneath Kale's sleeve. They weren't veins. They were his curse.
07:25Black marks tore up Kale's arm. Coiled around his throat. And climbed toward his face like something
07:29alive. The hall gasped. For one second. The gray in his eyes vanished. Replaced by molten gold.
07:34Something caged. Something feral.
07:36The curse is activating. He can't hold it. Stop the ceremony. The elders surged forward. But the
07:42ritual lines had already locked around our wrists. Once a bond began. No one outside it could break
07:47it. Kale's hand tightened around mine. Too tight. His knees buckled. He hit the altar hard. Blood
07:52spilling from his mouth onto the silver stone. The hall went silent. Kale looked up at me. Gold flickering
07:57through the gray. Let go. If you stop now. You'll still make it out. He meant it. Even half dying
08:02in
08:03front of the entire pack. He was still trying to give me a way out. Damon stepped forward.
08:07Are you insane? I already told you Sarah. If you stop this now. Lyra and I can still forgive
08:13you. I didn't look at him. Damon's tone sharpened. Don't throw your life away just to prove a point.
08:18Still. I did not look at him. My fingers tightened around Kale's. The curse burned black between us.
08:23Every wolf in that hall was waiting for me to let go. Instead. I leaned closer. Kale. Get me.
08:28Then. Without looking away from him. I reached for the silver edge of the altar.
