Original subtitles

Why'd you stop?

Don't tell me that's all you've got?

I'm alive?

And none of it has happened yet?

In my last life, the master-servant bond gave me absolute control over my four

beast wives.

And I treated them like toys.

My parents were murdered, and I died without ever finding out who was behind

them.

I made them hate me, and in the end, they killed me.

Help me.

I don't want to die.

If I got a second chance, I'd never hurt any of you again.

This time I really came back.

And I'm changing everything.

Why'd you stop, Your Highness?

Forget the salt tonight?

Or don't I excite you anymore?

Sierra, I'm sorry.

I'll never hurt you again. You're free.

Let me run, then drag me back?

Is that your new game?

Don't play dumb.

The Bond won't let me leave you.

As long as I'm bound to you, my life is yours to take.

No.

Never again.

I'll prove it.

Zephria? Diana?

Anna! Come in, please!

What now? Got some new way to torture us? They want me dead.

But my father's trapped at the border and someone's planning a coup. I can't

do this without them. Take me to the border.

Get me safely through each city.

And I'll trade one drop of my blood for one broken seal.

After the ninth, a final blood kiss will break the bond for good.

Then, you're free.

Every broken seal tears at your soul, and I'm supposed to believe you'd suffer

that for us?

The Moon Mark is tied to our souls.

Break it by force, and we either die or suffer like hell.

Isn't that right, Master?

Hear that, Your Highness?

Set us free too fast, and you'll kill us all. I know.

That's why we do it slowly, one seal at a time.

My blood weakens the backlash.

After the ninth, the final blood kiss breaks the bond without killing you.

You really want to let us go?

Yes. You don't belong to me. You belong to yourselves.

Trusting four wives who want you dead with your life?

That's awfully brave of you.

The wheel of fate lies in the frozen borderlands. It can reveal who's behind

the coup.

Help me reach it.

And save my family. And I'll set you free.

We both get what we want.

And if we say no, then take the first drop now.

A show of good faith.

Anna,

you're the healer. Why isn't it working?

The first drop always fights back.

It needs your saliva to settle.

You'll have to kiss her mark for safe, Mom.

Sierra, get up.

You don't have to kneel to me anymore.

Sierra, get up.

Wasn't this your favorite rule?

On our knees like dogs, begging for your mercy.

Let's see.

Who do I want tonight?

Come here.

Let your master spoil you tonight.

Thirsty, aren't you, good girl?

That's over.

None of you ever have to kneel to me again. Get up.

Does it hurt?

I'm sorry.

For all of it.

The first seal's really gone. My turn, your highness.

Let go.

I can do it myself.

Wouldn't want you wasting a drop.

That feels good.

Is that what freedom feels like?

I don't want your charity.

It isn't charity.

It's what I owe you.

Thank you.

Master, that's a lot of blood.

Are you sure you can handle one more?

Keep going. All four of you deserve the same freedom.

I'm not leaving any of you.

Four seals in one night! Are you insane?

Is this about keeping your word or punishing yourself?

If you die, you take us with you.

Then I command you.

Kneel.

You can refuse me now. That first petal was what forced you to obey me.

Now it's gone.

Look at you.

Finally learning how it feels to hear no.

Sapira, what are you doing? She dies, we die.

Let go of her!

You didn't punish me.

Nice acting, your highness.

But when all nine petals are gone, what are you gonna do?

Beg us to stay?

I won't beg.

You deserve to be free.

Keep this up and your legs will give out before we're halfway there. I can walk.

I don't need a ride.

Sierra, you don't have to do this.

The Bond can't force me down anymore.

I just don't want you slowing us down. This road's dangerous.

If you die, we're screwed.

If wolf fur's too rough for you, Your Highness, mine's softer.

Just say the word.

I'm fine, but thank you.

Blood.

Ironhide bears.

Four in the brush.

Stay behind me.

Who told you to take that hit for me? Are you trying to kill yourself?

You're human!

Stay behind us where it's safe!

I don't have the right to hide behind you anymore.

This time, I want to protect you.

In my last life, you bled so I wouldn't have to.

Not this time.

You're hurt too.

And the blood will draw more beasts. We need shelter.

Now!

That's deep. Let me clean it.

I don't need it. Don't touch me.

Fine. I won't. It's here. Do it yourself.

Fine.

You can do mine.

I thought I wasn't allowed to touch you.

Changed your mind?

Shut up.

I can't reach it. That's the only reason.

You saved my life today, so I'm breaking the second seal.

Your lives won't be tied to mine anymore.

Think this through.

Break it, and a bear could rip you to pieces while we walk away without a

scratch.

Your lives were never mine to chain.

I'll learn to protect myself.

In our last life, that hand only ever brought me pain.

Sephiria?

Don't think a little blood erases what you did to us.

Master, you're hurt.

Leave it like this and it'll get worse.

That's enough, Anna.

Hold still, Master.

I'm only healing you.

What's happening to her?

Oh, that's bad. Sierra's gone into heat, right as her body is rejecting the

broken seal.

Then find some Frostheart!

Won't work.

No herb stops magic rejection.

She'll burn from the inside out.

Only Master's scent can calm her.

Like last time?

Will a kiss do it?

I'm afraid not.

This time, only being with you will calm her.

Get away from me!

Take me up!

Do it like you used to.

Let me ride it out alone. Don't touch me!

Can't even control your own heat, filthy little bitch.

All of you, out.

Keep watch outside.

Sierra,

it's all right.

Let me help you.

Don't touch me. I won't be able to stop. I don't need your pity.

This isn't pity.

I want to help you, Sierra.

You're my mate.

I won't leave you to suffer through this alone.

Okay.

It's your choice. I can stay, or I can go.

You decide.

Kiss me.

You know what'll happen if you stay, right?

I know. Stop treating me like your master.

Tonight, I'm only your mate.

Last chance to say no.

Are you sure you want this?

Yes.

I want this.

Don't let me leave before sunrise.

Sorry. I was rough with you last night.

It's fine.

I owed you that.

Are you better?

Much. So that's all last night was to you? A debt?

Irene, I'm not leaving you. Sierra, one night through your heat doesn't change

anything.

Think clearly.

You hate me.

Remember?

I'm thinking clearly.

You don't want to be my master. Fine.

Then let me mark you as my mate.

May I?

Yes.

This isn't the pact.

You gave me this. It belongs to us.

No one else.

Put this on. Road gets cold from here. Wouldn't want your

highness catching a chill.

Trying to cover up the wolf's scent for her?

What a performance.

Tell me, Sierra.

How does it feel to wag your tail for her?

Watch your mouth.

Rejection's gone.

Heat's settled.

Her magic's flowing beautifully now.

Master really gave her the full treatment, didn't she?

She chose to give it to me.

Be jealous all you want.

You just got your strength back. You don't have to carry me.

Let's go.

One seal breaks and the wolf's already picked the bones clean.

Your Highness, maybe it's someone else's turn to carry you.

Sierra, stop.

Your wounds open again.

I'll walk, or someone else can.

Someone else?

The lion?

Or the snake?

Anyone.

I'm thinking about your wound. Last night you were crying under me.

Today you want to ride someone else?

One night of pity and you think you own her?

You're not the only one here.

You don't get to decide for her.

She still chose me.

Mud's filthy.

My water's clean.

Perfect for carrying your highness.

We don't reach high ground by dark. The fumes will finish all of us.

Enough. All of you. I'm walking.

Thank you.

I can stand on my own.

You can push me away as much as you like.

I'll still be right here.

I'll still catch you.

Bonerot Marsh!

It's all bones down there!

That poison only exists in the Wolf Abyss.

You've never left the capital.

So how did you know that on sight?

I read about it.

Royal Forbidden Archives.

That marsh swallows everything.

Keep moving. We're losing the light.

Hold her any tighter and you'll crush her.

Get out.

Her hand.

Why is it so cold?

Blood. A death's head.

And the smell of someone already dying.

Your Highness, why do you smell like the dead?

You're wrong.

I've been with you this whole time.

How could I smell like the dead?

Nothing knows death better than a siren.

The living run warm, your blood is cold.

Cold as mine.

Back off.

Your Highness, did I just find your little secret?

Get some sleep. We move at dawn.

Take your time.

Finding the truth is what I do best.

There's a nerve toxin in that water.

Made for beeskin.

Sierra and Zephria can't go anywhere near it.

So what now? Is there a mountain route? How long to go around?

Three days, carrying Her Highness.

And the fumes up there would finish her long before that.

I'll take her across now.

You go around and meet us.

You'll move fast enough without carrying her.

No. I'm not handing her to you.

Don't be stupid.

None of you can touch that water, and there are currents underneath.

I'm the only one who can get her across alive.

Can you get me across safely?

Hold on to me.

Don't let go.

I'll get you there.

All right.

I trust you.

Keep her safe.

One scratch on her and I'll peel your scales off myself.

You can't even get in the water.

Save your breath.

So how does your highness plan to thank me for that kiss?

That was a rescue.

Nothing more.

I'll break your third seal when the time is right.

Is that all it was?

Then why was your heart racing down there?

Don't! That barb is coated in siren's tears.

Pull it out and the poison eats straight through your heart.

It is.

Forbidden poison from the deep.

But only Naga can brew Siren's Tears.

So tell me, Your Highness, how do you know that?

A nameless poison from the deep.

How do you know it? I read about it. Royal Library.

Forbidden section.

Did you know?

Drink. My blood neutralizes it.

Diana, what did you do to her? Are you trying to kill her?

We were attacked.

I told her to drink. It was my fault.

The poison's gone?

Master does love a decisive rescue, doesn't she?

She knew it was merfolk poison.

She knew how to stop it.

That is impossible.

Let's move. It isn't safe here.

That crest.

It was on the rebel banners when they took the capital.

In my last life.

Stop. We're not going through.

There's an ambush behind that door.

What did you see?

There are men behind that door.

It opens, and the first one on the left goes for Sierra's throat.

And how would you know that?

Protect her!

She called it.

Exactly.

We'll kill you, Irene!

Your kingdom burns either way!

I

think

we're owed an explanation.

You knew about the ambush.

You knew which one of them went for Sierra.

How?

When my father is safe and the pact is broken, I'll tell you everything. How

did rebels know our route?

Unless you set it up yourself.

All this trouble just to make us trust you.

Master went to such lengths. I didn't set anything up. Why would I risk my own

life? I can't tell you.

Not now. You wouldn't believe me anyway.

Irene, what are you hiding?

Whatever it is, tell me.

We'll deal with it together.

Let me help you.

I... The best thing you can do is get me to the border.

Then the pact breaks and you're free.

I don't want to be free of you anymore.

I ran the old siren's rights on you. You don't see the future.

You came back from it, didn't you?

Exit's caved in.

Zephria, Anna, with me. We'll find another way.

Watch her.

One hair out of place and I'll come back for your scales.

Relax. Your precious master couldn't be safer.

Let go of me!

Running already.

What are you?

Third petals gone I could crush your throat right now and feel nothing So

order me to stop punish me do it like you used to

I'm never controlling you again

Why the sudden kindness you put down the whip and think that erases

it I Am a princess of the deep you caged me you

broke me

You played with me. I hate you!

I'm sorry.

I am so sorry.

Crocodile tears?

Then why the rush to break the pact?

Because I owe you your freedom.

You should be living your own lives.

Don't play noble.

You want to run. You want out.

What do you know?

What happens in that future?

That death on you, it's yours?

You already died?

We killed you? The four of us?

That look you give us.

It was never guilt.

You've been looking at your killers.

Tell me, what happened in that life?

Are you insane?

Breaking the link like that could kill you.

Yes.

I came back.

The capital fell, and I died full of arrows.

But all I have are fragments.

I don't even know if the last blow came from the four of you.

So you think we killed you?

And all of this has been an act?

Just you saving your own skin?

At first, yes.

But dying showed me what I was.

A monster.

This isn't an act anymore. It's a debt.

You should have been free all along.

I'm not saving myself. I'm paying for what I did.

Keep this between us, please.

Fine. But our lives are ours to decide, not yours.

And you don't get to die before the last seal breaks.

One more thing.

Next time there's danger, you tell us.

Stop running off to die alone.

Is this cold-blooded fish actually worried about me?

I understand.

I was gone ten minutes.

What did you do to her?

I'll have your scales for this.

It wasn't me.

Ask her yourself.

Enough, Sierra.

I'm fine.

We need to move.

The reading's changed.

East.

The griffon tribe?

They know something about your father.

Then we go east.

Pure royal blood.

So you're the king's favorite.

Princess Irene.

I am.

Is my father here?

Beast and scent all over her, but no soul bond.

Nobody's finished claiming this one.

She's mine.

You want to know where the old king is?

Simple. Stay here.

Be my mate.

No. I came for my father. Nothing else.

Get your filthy hands off her.

Look at her again and I'll take your eyes.

Untrained little pets.

My patience runs out, Irene.

Refuse me and you'll never find the old king.

Is that a threat?

It's an offer.

Stay the night, princess.

The elders return at dawn.

Give me your answer then.

Don't bother.

We're leaving.

You should have let me take that bird's head off.

The way she looked at you.

She's begging to die.

Enough. Keep moving.

This is their territory.

Don't get careless.

Touch me!

A thousand feet up.

Nothing without wings reaches this tower.

Those mutts of yours will never find you.

What do you want from me?

We marry tomorrow.

You'll be my mate.

You'll live inside these walls.

And the only place you'll ever go is my bed.

She's insane.

And when I look into those eyes, I'm looking at myself, the monster I used to

be.

You can't keep me.

Break someone's wings and cage them, call it love, and one day they will come

back and burn you to ash.

Burn me?

You have no idea what griffins are capable of.

Think it over.

You don't leave this place unless I let you.

She's out of her mind. I'm not dying in a cage again.

I'm getting out.

There's no way down.

I need a plan.

In my last life I let everyone else carry it.

I used them as shields and slept just fine.

Not this time.

Nobody's coming to save me.

I save myself.

Give her back! Your lunatic matriarch took her!

Our matriarch knows what she's doing. She would never do such a thing.

Perhaps her highness admired the view and chose to stay as her mate.

Chose? That feathered animal snatched her right in front of us! Elder,

covering for a kidnapper is how whole tribes disappear.

Stop wasting words on these winged parasites.

Give us some time.

We'll look into it.

Listen to me.

If Irene isn't standing here by sundown, untouched, I burn this place to the

ground.

And I break every wing in this tribe.

One at a time.

I'm done waiting on those elders. We split up.

If she's already bonded with Kara to save herself, none of this matters.

You'd leave her with that lunatic just to get free sooner.

Both of you, enough!

We've all watched her change.

Stop pretending we haven't.

I'm not giving up on her.

I'll bring her back.

These cliffs are mine.

Zephria, North Canyon.

Diana, follow the water. Anna, the poison woods to the south.

Find any trace of her, you howl.

This is the only way out, so I take it.

Don't stop.

Stop, and I'm somebody's caged pet for the rest of my life.

Alive.

I got myself out.

Sapira.

What happened to your hands?

That cliff is a thousand feet.

How did you get down?

I tore up the bed sheets.

Tied them into a rope.

And I climbed.

It's over.

Cry it out.

I'm taking you back to them. They've been out of their minds.

Zebria!

Are you hurt?

Why would you do that?

I'm just a pet you put under contract.

You're not my pet.

You're my mate.

All my life, they've sent me out front to fight and bleed for someone else.

You're the first person who ever stood in front of me.

Severia, I'm so cold.

Don't talk. Hold on to me.

We're finding shelter now.

Zephira, why won't you look at me?

I was just thinking, if we don't find Sierra and the others, then something

else comes at us.

Look at me.

Do you want to kiss me?

I... Am I allowed?

You used to say I was filthy.

You never let me touch you.

You're shaking, sweetheart.

Because you kissed me.

My heart's about to come apart.

It's all right, baby.

Relax.

Just feel it.

Irene, if I pull this loose, I'm not stopping.

Are you sure?

Do it.

Now.

Zephria, I want you.

Irene,

let me use this on you.

Again. There's no filling you up, is there?

My hungry little lion.

Is she all right?

A whole night, no word from either of you.

I've been out of my mind. Where were you?

She had a fever. I found somewhere to cool her down.

Cool her down?

Looks like you warmed her up instead, big sister.

Enough! What happened?

That lunatic Kara locked her in a tower on the cliffs.

Irene got herself down.

A thousand feet.

Alone. That feathered animal!

She took her, forced her, nearly killed her!

I'm going back to tear her apart!

Go now and you give away our position.

You'll bring her whole tribe down on us.

You were gone all night.

What did you do to her?

I slept with her.

She was helpless and you took her. You shameless bitch.

She said yes.

Every one of us gets the same chance. She wanted me more than once.

I'm not leaving her.

That's the difference between us.

I want something, I take it. And what I take is mine.

The rest of you are just cowards.

Both of you, stop!

She nearly died last night. Is this what she comes back to?

Would she want me the way she wants Sephiria?

If I'd been the one who found her last night, would she have opened up for me

too?

Thank you, Anna.

You spent too much healing me. The pack's turning on you.

How do I stop it?

There is a way.

But it's shameful.

I couldn't ask you.

The same as Sierra.

That's it, isn't it?

You need me to...

Master, would you?

Don't be afraid.

Let me.

Master, don't stop!

Perfect timing.

What a scheming little dove.

You're too late, big sister.

Master belongs to me right now.

Who says there isn't room for me?

Diana.

Diana. Anna, slow down.

Master, which of us do you want more?

Me or her?

Nine drops every pedal is gone All that's left is the

mark itself That city is full of knives you

don't need to die in there with me Wait outside.

I get my father out then the blood kiss and the pact is finished.

I'm not leaving you alone Your life is mine Where I go you go?

I already told you I'm not leaving. I love you.

I want you as my mate.

Wherever Master goes, Anna goes.

Anna wants to serve you for the rest of her life.

I don't like this.

What if you die in there?

Then the pact never breaks.

If I die now, the pact dissolves on its own.

You'd be free anyway.

So, Irene, which one of us are you going to choose?

Not now.

My father comes first.

Lord Warden, where are my parents?

You're too late, Your Highness.

The old king and queen left yesterday.

They went to the altar deep in the forest.

What? Why would they go there?

To lift the curse on you.

What curse?

You have already died once.

The wheel doesn't turn backward for free.

Someone paid a terrible price to bring you back.

That mark on your hand is a countdown.

When it reaches your heart, you die.

The only way to break it is for someone who truly loves you to give their life

in your place.

Your parents went to trade their lives for yours

The

altar

is too dangerous I go alone Wait for me here

No, we're going with you don't let the little kindness

trap you I'm a criminal who got a second life.

Everything I've done for you was guilt.

It was me paying for what I did.

I owed you that.

I chose to pay it.

Now go and choose your own lives. Don't throw them away on me.

I know all of that.

But you've changed, Irena.

You can't even see it yourself.

You're brave now.

You're kind now.

And this is the woman I love.

You think we can't tell pity from love?

We can.

We know the difference.

Master, we stopped being able to leave you a long time ago.

Following you is our choice.

Do you understand now?

These lives are ours for good.

You gave us our freedom.

This is what we're doing with it.

Get back.

I'm staying with you.

That lava came out of hell itself.

Standing with us will get you killed.

I said I'm fighting beside you.

Save your strength. The altar's just ahead.

you to trade your lives for mine my baby you're alive

i thought i'd never hold you again save the talking heal them

now

we

did it irene pour it on the death mark

Quickly! It's fading.

The curse is broken.

They brought you all this way.

They did.

And once we leave here, I'm breaking the pact and letting them go.

Irene, you know better.

That pact is never breaking. Who wants freedom? I want you.

Doesn't Master want Anna anymore?

Anna will be so good.

Every single night.

Mervai take one mate for life.

Turn me away, and I dissolve into sea foam.

You did this. Now answer for it.

Well, I suppose I'll have to think about it. How long? A day?

A year?

Depends how well you behave.
