00:00Don't let your body decide if this is good enough for ya
00:03Already foldin' it for ya, already foldin' it for ya
00:10Say lies that I was done with love, not holdin' for anyone
00:16Cause I, I spent my twenties on some guys who just weren't the ones
00:22Somehow with you I forgot all my rules
00:26You made me feel safe
00:29With fabric soft on the sheets
00:32When we laid in the bed where we made love
00:35And there's no song, can you pick up your clothes?
00:40I have been folded
00:42Meet me at the door
00:46My heart wide open
00:50Though it's getting cold out
01:22It's not frozen
01:24It's not frozen
01:25It's not frozen
01:27It's not frozen
01:28It's not frozen
01:30It's not frozen
01:31It's not frozen
01:34It's not frozen
01:35I'll let your body decide if this is good enough for ya
01:38Already foldin' it for ya, already foldin' it for ya
01:54Meet me at the door
01:56I'll let your body decide if this is good enough for ya
02:00Already foldin' it for ya, already foldin' it for ya
02:02I'll be foldin' it for ya
02:22I learned the price of my body before I ever learned its worth
02:26The letter lay on the kitchen table like a death sentence
02:28Edges curling from the humidity, ink already smudged where my tears had fallen earlier
02:33Final notice
02:34Red stamps
02:35A number so large it might as well have been written in blood
02:38I read it again even though I knew every word by heart
02:41My pulse pounding in my ears as if my heart were trying to claw its way out of my chest
02:46They would take the house tomorrow
02:47Not my house, not really
02:49I'd never owned anything in my life
02:51But it was the only place that had ever smelled like home
02:54Boiled rice in the mornings
02:55Rain on rusted tin and my mother's old jasmine soap lingering in the walls long after she was gone
03:01If the debt collectors came they wouldn't just take the house
03:03They'd take the last proof that we had ever existed as anything other than a mistake
03:08My hands trembled as I folded the letter, each crease precise and controlled
03:12I'd learned long ago that breaking down solved nothing
03:15Tears didn't pay debts, fear didn't scare monsters away
03:18And monsters were very real
03:20They just didn't always look like wolves, right?
03:22To repay my stepfather's debt I took a desperate gamble
03:25The auction confirmation made my heart race
03:27Nothing could be undone
03:29If I didn't respond, my future wouldn't be sold at a high price
03:32But the clock ticked cruelly, every second a countdown
03:35I had to find a way out, even if it wasn't honorable
03:38I pulled my jacket tighter, stepping into the night
03:41The building was unmarked, hidden between abandoned warehouses
03:44Two bodyguards scrutinized me, judging if I was prey or commodity
03:48Name? the bodyguard asked coldly
03:50I, I am the item
03:52The word tasted bitter and resolute
03:54They asked no further questions and let me in
03:57The corridor was filled with smoke, perfume and an invisible force
04:01The force pressed against my skin, raising goosebumps on my arms
04:04My instincts screamed to run, but my legs kept moving
04:07The hall was packed with men, unusual men
04:09I immediately felt the shift in the air, their gazes heavy
04:13My grandmother would whisper, those are wolves, alphas, uncrowned kings
04:17I was led to a small platform in the center of the hall
04:20A spotlight flared, blinding me
04:22Whispers spread through the crowd
04:24Lot number seven, human, untouched, verified
04:27Untouched, as if I were a plastic-wrapped commodity
04:29My cheeks burned but I lifted my chin
04:32I wouldn't cry here
04:33If something precious had to be sold I would stand tall
04:36Bidding started low, then escalated
04:38Enough to repay ten times the debt
04:40My heart pounded, fear and relief intertwined
04:43I told myself to focus on this, not their greedy eyes
04:46Suddenly, the hall fell silent
04:48A heavy absolute aura enveloped the crowd
04:50Felt him before I saw him, the pressure in my chest suffocating me
04:54As my eyes adjusted I saw him standing at the back of the hall
04:57He wasn't bidding, he was taller, broader, dressed in black devouring the light
05:02His features were sharp, his eyes deep and unreadable
05:04Power radiated from him, primal yet controlled
05:07Alpha, I didn't know his name but the others did
05:10I saw it in their averted gazes and the auctioneer's tense posture
05:13He looked at me as if I were a question he didn't want to ask
05:17One night, the auctioneer prompted carefully
05:19And he bid
05:20I want her
05:21His voice was calm, low, resolute
05:24The number he named was staggering
05:26A collective gasp erupted from the crowd
05:28No one argued
05:29No one dared
05:30The gavel fell
05:31Sold
05:32The sound reverberated in my bones
05:34The finality crushed me, my knees almost buckling
05:37It was over
05:38I was awed
05:39My body had a new owner, the most dangerous man in the room
05:42The alpha turned and left, his gaze never leaving me, confident I would follow
05:46I didn't know his name
05:47I didn't know what he would do to me
05:49I only knew that the life I understood was over
05:51And something darker, more powerful had begun
05:54I followed him, having nowhere else to go
05:57The hall outside was dim, lit by amber strips
05:59My heels echoed too loudly on the polished floor
06:02Each step proclaiming my fragility
06:04In contrast to the force ahead
06:06The alpha didn't look back, not once
06:08Like a shadow tethered to his heel
06:10Possessions follow their owner
06:12The thought churned my stomach
06:14Two guards wordlessly opened a heavy steel door
06:17The icy night air rushed in
06:18Carrying the salty tang of the nearby ocean
06:20Outside, a sleek black car waited
06:22Engine purring, predatory in its stillness
06:25The alpha stopped at the car, turning at last
06:27Up close he was even more daunting
06:29He towered over me, his presence a cloud
06:32I had to crane my neck to meet his gaze
06:35And when I did, my breath hitched
06:36His eyes weren't cruel
06:38That unsettled me more
06:39They were sharp, assessing, restrained
06:41As if he was measuring something dangerous
06:43And trying not to touch it
06:45You're trembling
06:46The observation wasn't unkind
06:48Nor was it gentle
06:49It was simply a fact
06:50I'm fine
06:51I lied, my voice weaker than I wanted
06:54He scrutinized me for a moment
06:55Then I opened the car door
06:57Get in
06:58No threat, no compulsion, only certainty
07:00The car smelled of leather
07:01And a distinct male scent
07:03Clean, deep, expensive
07:04I sat stiffly, hands clasped
07:06Staring straight ahead
07:07Until the door clicked shut and closing me
07:10A moment later, he slid in beside me
07:12Close enough for me to feel his heat
07:14The car moved
07:15Streetlights blurred past
07:16Leaping across the glass like escaping thoughts
07:18I counted my breaths
07:20Losing myself in the rhythm
07:21Inhale
07:22Exhale
07:23Inhale
07:24Exhale
07:24Then I spoke because silence was heavier than fear
07:27May I know your name?
07:29He turned his head slightly
07:30You don't need it
07:32That's more than I expected
07:33I think I do
07:34I said softly
07:35If you're going to own me tonight
07:37His jaw tightened
07:39I don't own you
07:40He replied
07:41I bought your time
07:42There's a difference
07:43I wasn't sure if that made me feel any better
07:45The car left the city
07:47Leaving concrete behind
07:48Instead, endless dark roads appeared
07:50As we drove, the air grew heavy
07:52My skin tingled
07:53Instincts screamed warnings
07:55We passed through a huge iron gate
07:57Behind the gate, a fortress, not a home
07:59Stone walls, tall trees, glowing windows
08:01The car stopped under a wide archway
08:03Is this yours?
08:05Yes
08:05Of course it is
08:07Inside, silence, too quiet
08:09I felt small, a human hot in a wolf's den
08:11He led me upstairs, past closed doors
08:13To a bedroom at the hall's end
08:15Your room
08:17My room?
08:18Huge room, king bed
08:19Dark linens
08:20Soft light, fireplace lit
08:22Flames danced
08:23You weren't going to
08:24Not yet
08:25His tone made my heart race
08:27Stay here tonight
08:28Alone?
08:29For now
08:29Wait
08:30What happens next?
08:32Rest
08:32We'll talk tomorrow
08:34Tomorrow
08:34The word echoed
08:35The door clicked shut
08:37I stood, heart pounding
08:39Nothing happened
08:40I sank to the bed, confused and scared
08:42Why by me?
08:43If not for the world, then why?
08:45In this big house, the alpha roamed
08:46Perhaps he was still, ever restrained
08:49Resisting instincts more dangerous than my fear
08:51I didn't sleep
08:52Every sound made me tense
08:54The house creaked, wind howled through trees
08:56Time fragmented until dawn through curtains
08:59A knock sharp and precise
09:00Who is it?
09:02The door opened, he entered
09:03In daylight, still dangerous, more real
09:06His gaze swept over me, my pulse jumped
09:08You should eat, then we'll talk
09:10About what?
09:11His eyes darkened, an emotion flickered
09:13Why I bought you?
09:15First time since the gavel, I felt something sharper than fear
09:18Hope, this alpha's game, not what I expected
09:21I had a terrible thrilling premonition
09:23My life was about to change
09:25The dining room looked like something torn from a different world
09:27Steam rose from a plate already set before an empty chair
09:31The scent warm and comforting
09:32Fresh bread, eggs, and something spiced and rich
09:35My stomach betrayed me with a soft growl
09:37Reminding me that fear didn't cancel hunger
09:39Sit
09:40I obeyed
09:41Up close, the alpha's presence pressed against me even more strongly than it had the night before
09:46Not aggression, control
09:47Like a blade kept sheathed only by discipline
09:50He sat with his forearms resting on the table, hands relaxed, eyes never leaving my face
09:55I forced myself to meet his gaze
09:57Why am I here?
09:58You were hungry
09:59You know what I mean
10:01A corner of his mouth twitched
10:03Not quite a smile but something close
10:05Eat first
10:06I hesitated, then picked up the fork
10:08The food was delicious, which only made the knot in my chest tighten
10:11Nothing about this situation matched the horror I had prepared myself for
10:15He watched me quietly as I ate
10:17Not with hunger, but with focus
10:19As if memorizing details I hadn't agreed to give him
10:22When I finally set the fork down
10:24He leaned back slightly
10:26My name is Ryu
10:27The sound of it sent a strange shiver through me
10:29I've heard of you
10:31I admitted before I could stop myself
10:33Of course I had
10:34Every supernatural underground whispered his name like a warning
10:37The alpha who never took a mate
10:39The alpha who ruled without mercy
10:41Or so the stories said
10:43Most people have, and most of what they've heard is wrong
10:46Then tell me the truth, I said softly
10:48Why buy me?
10:50His eyes darkened
10:51And for the first time
10:52I felt something crack in the perfect control he wore like armor
10:56I don't think
10:57I frowned
10:57You bought me last night
10:59No, he corrected
11:00For the first time in over a decade
11:02The weight of it hung between us
11:04Why me?
11:04My fingers curled
11:05His jaw muscle twitched
11:07Because you don't belong there
11:08He said
11:09His words stunned me
11:10You think I wanted to be there?
11:12I snapped
11:13You always have a choice
11:14He murmured
11:15No judgment
11:15No pity
11:16My throat tightened
11:17I watched the room
11:18He continued
11:19They saw you as meat
11:20As something to be destroyed
11:21His hand was clenched
11:23That won't happen
11:24My heart ached
11:25So you're a hero now?
11:26No, he said
11:27I am alpha
11:28I protect what's mine
11:29I swallowed
11:30Including bought women
11:31Especially them
11:32Silent stretch between us
11:34Taut
11:34Now what?
11:35I asked
11:36Do I
11:36Leave?
11:38Ryu watched me
11:38Then rose
11:39You stay
11:40He said
11:40Until the contract is done
11:41And then
11:42I asked
11:43That depends
11:44On what?
11:45Me?
11:45Him?
11:46This dangerous bond?
11:47He walked to the window
11:48Hands behind his back
11:49I said
11:50Straighter
11:51Rules?
11:51Yes
11:52He turned
11:53No one touches you
11:54Without your consent
11:55I blinked
11:56You didn't
11:57I stopped
11:57I pressed my lips
11:59You will live here safely
12:00Until the night of the contract
12:02The choice will be yours
12:04My heart pounded
12:05What if I don't choose?
12:06Nothing happens
12:07I stared at him
12:09You paid a fortune
12:10I have more
12:11He said flatly
12:12That's not the point
12:13No, he agreed
12:14You are
12:15A dangerous honest glint in his eyes
12:17Why do I feel like you're afraid of me?
12:19I whispered
12:20He turned
12:21Because you don't know what you are
12:23A chill crept up my spine
12:24I'm human
12:25Are you?
12:26He whispered
12:26The air in the room thickened
12:28My chest warmed
12:29What are you talking about?
12:31I whispered
12:31Ryu walked closer
12:32Stopping within reach
12:33What I'm trying to say
12:35His voice barely audible
12:36My heart leaped
12:37You think I'm your
12:38No, he cut in as if burned
12:40I haven't
12:41He turned
12:41His agitation evident
12:43Today is for rest
12:44Explore if you wish
12:45We'll talk tonight
12:46About what?
12:47I asked
12:48His hand on the door
12:49Whether I made the biggest mistake
12:51Or the only right choice
12:52The door closed behind him
12:54Leaving me
12:54My heart pounded with a truth
12:56I hadn't prepared for
12:57I wasn't just bought
12:58I was chosen
12:59Our bond
13:00More dangerous
13:01More powerful than any contract
13:03Because if Ryu was right
13:04My destiny was never sold
13:06After Ryu left
13:07I stayed
13:08His words echoed in my mind
13:09The moon goddess doesn't air
13:11My body reacted
13:12My pulse raced
13:13Something woke up
13:14I wondered
13:15It was all too grand
13:17Silk drapes
13:17Mystic wooden furniture
13:19Balcony door opened
13:20Pine scent filled air
13:21The forest stretched endlessly below
13:23This land was claimed
13:24Not fear but awakening
13:26Home of the feared alpha
13:28Ryu
13:28Should I be grateful or afraid
13:30A woman knocked tall
13:31Strong braided hair
13:32Her gaze swept me with curiosity
13:34I'm Kayla
13:35Alpha Ryu sent me
13:36Second in command
13:37Power and authority
13:38Luna
13:39My name slipped out
13:40Against my will
13:41Interesting name
13:42She guided me
13:44Explaining rules
13:44Servants bowed at Ryu's name
13:46Wolves stared
13:47Curious and confused
13:48She's human
13:49Why is she here?
13:51Look ahead
13:52We reached the training grounds
13:54Wolves fought
13:55I hugged myself
13:56Feeling vulnerable
13:57They don't know you yet
13:58But they will
13:59Will they?
14:00That depends on you
14:01And him
14:01His name hung heavy in the air
14:03I felt it too
14:04Pressure
14:05Heat
14:05A pull
14:06Ryu entered
14:07His presence spoke volumes
14:08Talk ceased
14:09Even Kyla stood straight
14:11I should have looked away
14:12But didn't
14:13An invisible current
14:14Sparked between us
14:15Enough
14:16Dismissed
14:17They obeyed without question
14:18I realized we were alone
14:20You shouldn't be here
14:21I was just being shown around
14:22You are in the den of wolves
14:25I know
14:26I walked into a wolf auction
14:27And I'm still here
14:28An unreadable expression
14:30Crossed his face
14:31I'll take my lead alpha
14:32She left
14:33Silence fell
14:34Ryu stepped closer
14:35My body reacted
14:36Stomach hot
14:37Breath quick
14:38Instincts betrayed reason
14:39Does my presence scare you?
14:41Good
14:42It should
14:42You said no one would touch me
14:44My word is my bond
14:45Then why do I feel like prey?
14:47He stopped inches away
14:49His wolf was close
14:50My wolf recognizes you
14:51It doesn't care about contracts
14:53Recognize what?
14:54Silence dangerous and tense
14:56Go back
14:57That's an order
14:58That one word broke me more than his order
15:00I turned
15:01Lest my legs give out
15:02That night I couldn't sleep
15:03Moonlight poured onto my bed
15:05Bright
15:06My skin was too sensitive
15:07Nerves hummed
15:08A distant howl
15:09My body reacted
15:10Heat longing
15:11And deep bone pain
15:12I clutched my chest
15:13Gasping
15:14This wasn't normal
15:15I learned the price of my body
15:17Before I ever learned its worth
15:18The letter lay on the kitchen table
15:20Like a death sentence
15:21Edges curling from the humidity
15:23Ink already smudged
15:24Where my tears had fallen earlier
15:26Final notice
15:27Red stamps
15:28A number so large
15:29It might as well have been written in blood
15:31I read it again
15:32Even though I knew every word by heart
15:34My pulse pounding in my ears
15:36As if my heart were trying to claw its way out of my chest
15:38They would take the house tomorrow
15:40Not my house
15:41Not really
15:42I'd never owned anything in my life
15:44But it was the only place that had ever smelled like home
15:46Boiled rice in the mornings
15:48Rain on rusted tin and my mother's old jasmine soap lingering in the walls long after she
15:53Was gone
15:53If the debt collectors came they wouldn't just take the house
15:56They'd take the last proof that we had ever existed as anything other than a mistake
16:00My hands trembled as I folded the letter
16:03Each crease precise and controlled
16:04I'd learned long ago that breaking down solved nothing
16:07Tears didn't pay debts
16:09Fear didn't scare monsters away
16:11And monsters were very real
16:12They just didn't always look like wolves right
16:14To repay my stepfather's debt I took a desperate gamble
16:17The auction confirmation made my heart race
16:20Nothing could be undone
16:21If I didn't respond my future wouldn't be sold at a high price
16:25But the clock ticked cruelly every second a countdown
16:28I had to find a way out even if it wasn't honorable
16:31I pulled my jacket tighter stepping into the night
16:34The building was unmarked hidden between abandoned warehouses
16:37Two bodyguards scrutinized me judging if I was prey or commodity
16:40Name?
16:41The bodyguard asked coldly
16:43I
16:44I am the item
16:45The word tasted bitter and resolute
16:47They asked no further questions and let me in
16:49The corridor was filled with smoke
16:51Perfume and an invisible force
16:53The force pressed against my skin
16:55Raising goosebumps on my arms
16:57My instincts screamed to run
16:58But my legs kept moving
17:00The hall was packed with men
17:01Unusual men
17:02I immediately felt the shift in the air
17:04Their gazes heavy
17:05My grandmother would whisper
17:07Those are wolves
17:08Alphas
17:08Uncrowned kings
17:09I was led to a small platform in the center of the hall
17:12A spotlight flared
17:14Blinding me
17:15Whispers spread through the crowd
17:16Lot number seven
17:17Human
17:18Untouched verified
17:19Untouched
17:20As if I were a plastic wrapped commodity
17:22My cheeks burned but I lifted my chin
17:24I wouldn't cry here
17:26If something precious had to be sold I would stand tall
17:28Bidding started low
17:30Then escalated
17:31Enough to repay ten times the debt
17:33My heart pounded
17:34Fear and relief intertwined
17:35I told myself to focus on this
17:37Not their greedy eyes
17:38Suddenly
17:39The hall fell silent
17:40A heavy absolute aura enveloped the crowd
17:43Felt him before I saw him
17:44The pressure in my chest suffocating me
17:46As my eyes adjusted
17:48I saw him standing at the back of the hall
17:50He wasn't bidding
17:51He was taller
17:52Broader
17:53Dressed in black devouring the light
17:54His features were sharp
17:56His eyes deep and unreadable
17:57Power radiated from him
17:59Primal yet controlled
18:00Alpha
18:00I didn't know his name but the others did
18:02I saw it in their averted gazes
18:04And the auctioneer's tense posture
18:06He looked at me as if I were a question
18:08He didn't want to ask
18:09One night
18:10The auctioneer prompted carefully
18:12And he did
18:13I want her
18:14His voice was calm
18:15Low
18:16Resolute
18:17The number he named was staggering
18:18A collective gasp erupted from the crowd
18:20No one argued
18:21No one dared
18:22The gavel fell
18:24Sold
18:24The sound reverberated in my bones
18:26The finality crushed me
18:28My knees almost buckling
18:29It was over
18:30I was bought
18:31My body had a new owner
18:33The most dangerous man in the room
18:34The alpha turned and left
18:36His gaze never leaving me
18:37Confident I would follow
18:38I didn't know his name
18:40I didn't know what he would do to me
18:41I only knew that the life I understood was over
18:44And something darker
18:45More powerful had begun
18:47I followed him
18:48Having nowhere else to go
18:49The hall outside was dim
18:51Lit by amber strips
18:52My heels echoed too loudly on the polished floor
18:55Each step proclaiming my fragility
18:57In contrast to the force ahead
18:59The alpha didn't look back
19:00Not once
19:01Like a shadow tethered to his heel
19:03Possessions follow their owner
19:05The thought churned my stomach
19:06Two guards wordlessly opened a heavy steel door
19:09The icy night air rushed in
19:11Carrying the salty tang of the nearby ocean
19:13Outside a sleek black car waited
19:15Engine purring
19:16Predatory in its stillness
19:17The alpha stopped at the car
19:19Turning at last
19:20Up close he was even more daunting
19:22He towered over me
19:24His presence a cloud
19:25I had to crane my neck to meet his gaze
19:27And when I did
19:28My breath hitched
19:29His eyes weren't cruel
19:30That unsettled me more
19:32They were sharp
19:33Assessing
19:33Restrained
19:34As if he was measuring something dangerous
19:36And trying not to touch it
19:38You're trembling
19:39The observation wasn't unkind
19:41Nor was it gentle
19:42It was simply a fact
19:43I'm fine
19:44I lied
19:45My voice weaker than I wanted
19:46He scrutinized me for a moment
19:48Then I opened the car door
19:50Get in
19:50No threat
19:51No compulsion
19:52Only certainty
19:52The car smelled of leather
19:54And a distinct male scent
19:55Clean
19:56Deep
19:56Expensive
19:57I sat stiffly
19:58Hands clasped
19:59Staring straight ahead
20:00Until the door clicked shut
20:02Enclosing me
20:02A moment later
20:03He slid in beside me
20:04Close enough for me to feel his heat
20:06The car moved
20:07Streetlights blurred past
20:09Leaping across the glass
20:10Like escaping thoughts
20:11I counted my breaths
20:12Losing myself in the rhythm
20:14Inhale
20:15Exhale
20:15Inhale
20:16Exhale
20:17Then I spoke
20:18Because silence was heavier than fear
20:20May I know your name
20:21He turned his head slightly
20:23You don't need it
20:24That's more than I expected
20:26I think I do
20:27I said softly
20:28If you're going to own me tonight
20:30His jaw tightened
20:31I don't own you
20:32He replied
20:33I bought your time
20:34There's a difference
20:35I wasn't sure if that made me feel any better
20:38The car left the city
20:39Leaving concrete behind
20:41Instead endless dark roads appeared
20:43As we drove the air grew heavy
20:45My skin tingled
20:46Instinct screamed warnings
20:47We passed through a huge iron gate
20:49Behind the gate a fortress
20:51Not a home
20:52Stone walls
20:52Tall trees glowing windows
20:54The car stopped under a wide archway
20:56Is this yours?
20:57Yes
20:58Of course it is
20:59Inside silence too quiet
21:01I felt small
21:02A human heart in a wolf's den
21:04He led me upstairs past closed doors
21:06To a bedroom at the hall's end
21:08Your room
21:09My room?
21:10Huge room
21:11King bed
21:12Dark linens
21:13Soft light
21:13Fireplace lit
21:14Flames danced
21:15You weren't going to
21:17Not yet
21:18His tone made my heart race
21:19Stay here tonight
21:20Alone?
21:21For now
21:22Wait
21:22What happens next?
21:24Rest
21:25We'll talk tomorrow
21:26Tomorrow
21:27The word echoed
21:28The door clicked shut
21:29I stood
21:30Heart pounding
21:31Nothing happened
21:32I sank to the bed
21:34Confused and scared
21:35Why by me?
21:36If not for the world
21:37Then why?
21:37In this big house
21:38The alpha roamed
21:39Perhaps he was still
21:40Ever restrained
21:41Resisting instincts
21:43More dangerous than my fear
21:44I didn't sleep
21:45Every sound made me tense
21:47The house creaked
21:48Wind howled through trees
21:49Time fragmented
21:50Until dawn through curtains
21:51A knock sharp and precise
21:53Who is it?
21:54The door opened
21:55He entered
21:56In daylight
21:57Still dangerous
21:58More real
21:58His gaze swept over me
22:00My pulse jumped
22:01You should eat
22:02Then we'll talk
22:03About what?
22:04His eyes darkened
22:05An emotion flickered
22:06Why I bought you?
22:07First time since the gavel
22:09I felt something sharper than fear
22:10Hope
22:11This alpha's game
22:12Not what I expected
22:13I had a terrible
22:14Thrilling premonition
22:15My life was about to change
22:17The dining room looked like
22:18Something torn from a different world
22:20Steam rose from a plate
22:22Already set before an empty chair
22:23The scent warm and comforting
22:25Fresh bread, eggs
22:26And something spiced and rich
22:27My stomach betrayed me
22:29With a soft growl
22:30Reminding me that fear
22:31Didn't cancel hunger
22:32Sit
22:33I obeyed
22:33Up close
22:34The alpha's presence
22:35Pressed against me
22:36Even more strongly
22:37Than it had the night before
22:38Not aggression
22:39Control
22:40Like a blade kept
22:41Sheathed only by discipline
22:42He sat with his forearms
22:44Resting on the table
22:45Hands relaxed
22:46Eyes never leaving my face
22:47I forced myself
22:48To meet his gaze
22:49Why am I here?
22:51You were hungry
22:52You know what I mean
22:53A corner of his mouth twitched
22:55Not quite a smile
22:56But something close
22:57Eat first
22:58I hesitated
22:59Then picked up the fork
23:00The food was delicious
23:02Which only made the knot
23:03In my chest tighten
23:04Nothing about this situation
23:06Matched the horror
23:07I had prepared myself for
23:08He watched me quietly
23:09As I ate
23:10Not with hunger
23:11But with focus
23:12As if memorizing details
23:14I hadn't agreed to give him
23:15When I finally set the fork down
23:17He leaned back slightly
23:18My name is Ryu
23:19The sound of it
23:21Sent a strange shiver through me
23:22I've heard of you
23:23I admitted before
23:24I could stop myself
23:25Of course I had
23:27Every supernatural underground
23:28Whispered his name
23:29Like a warning
23:30The alpha who never took a mate
23:32The alpha who ruled
23:33Without mercy
23:34Or so the stories said
23:35Most people have
23:37And most of what they've heard
23:38Is wrong
23:39Then tell me the truth
23:40I said softly
23:41Why buy me?
23:43His eyes darkened
23:44And for the first time
23:45I felt something crack
23:46In the perfect control
23:47He wore like armor
23:48I don't bet
23:49I frowned
23:50You bought me last night
23:51No, he corrected
23:53For the first time
23:54In over a decade
23:54The weight of it
23:55Hung between us
23:56Why me?
23:57My fingers curled
23:58His jaw muscle twitched
23:59Because you don't belong there
24:01He said
24:02His words stunned me
24:03You think I wanted to be there?
24:05I snapped
24:05You always have a choice
24:07He murmured
24:07No judgment
24:08No pity
24:09My throat tightened
24:10I watched the room
24:11He continued
24:11They saw you as meat
24:13As something to be destroyed
24:14His hand was clenched
24:16That won't happen
24:17My heart ached
24:18So you're a hero now?
24:19No, he said
24:20I am alpha
24:20I protect what's mine
24:22I swallowed
24:22Including bought women
24:24Especially them
24:25Silence stretched between us
24:26Taut
24:27Now what?
24:28I asked
24:28Do I
24:29Leave?
24:30Ryu watched me
24:31Then rose
24:32You stay
24:32He said
24:33Until the contract is done
24:34And then
24:35I asked
24:36That depends
24:37On what?
24:38Me?
24:38Him?
24:39This dangerous bond?
24:40He walked to the window
24:41Hands behind his back
24:42I said
24:43Straighter
24:43Rules?
24:44Yes
24:44He turned
24:45No one touches you
24:47Without your consent
24:47I blinked
24:48You didn't
24:49I stopped
24:50I pressed my lips
24:51You will live here safely
24:53Until the night of the contract
24:55The choice will be yours
24:56My heart pounded
24:58What if I don't choose?
24:59Nothing happens
25:00I stared at him
25:01You paid a fortune
25:02I have more
25:03He said flatly
25:04That's not the point
25:05No, he agreed
25:07You are
25:07A dangerous honest glint in his eyes
25:10Why do I feel like you're afraid of me?
25:12I whispered
25:13He turned
25:13Because you don't know what you are
25:15A chill crept up my spine
25:17I'm human
25:18Are you?
25:18He whispered
25:19The air in the room thickened
25:21My chest warmed
25:22What are you talking about?
25:23I whispered
25:24Ryu walked closer
25:25Stopping within reach
25:26What I'm trying to say
25:27His voice barely audible
25:28My heart leaped
25:30You think I'm your
25:31No, he cut in
25:32As if burned
25:33I haven't
25:33He turned
25:34His agitation evident
25:35Today is for rest
25:37Explore if you wish
25:38We'll talk tonight
25:39About what?
25:40I asked
25:40His hand on the door
25:41Whether I made the biggest mistake
25:43Or the only right choice
25:45The door closed behind him
25:46Leaving me
25:47My heart pounded
25:48With a truth
25:48I hadn't prepared for
25:50I wasn't just bought
25:51I was chosen
25:52Our bond
25:53More dangerous
25:54More powerful than any contract
25:55Because if Ryu was right
25:57My destiny was never sold
25:59After Ryu left
26:00I stayed
26:00His words echoed in my mind
26:02The moon goddess doesn't air
26:04My body reacted
26:05My pulse raced
26:06Something woke up
26:07I wondered
26:08It was all too grand
26:09Silt drapes
26:10Mystic wooden furniture
26:11Balcony door opened
26:13Pine scent filled air
26:14The forest stretched endlessly below
26:16This land was claimed
26:17Not fear but awakening
26:19Home of the feared alpha
26:20Ryu
26:21Should I be grateful or afraid?
26:23A woman knocked tall
26:24Strong braided hair
26:25Her gaze swept me with curiosity
26:27I'm Kayla
26:28Alpha Ryu sent me
26:29Second in command
26:30Power and authority
26:31Luna
26:32My name slipped out
26:33Against my will
26:34Interesting name
26:35She guided me
26:36Explaining rules
26:37Servants bowed at Ryu's name
26:39Wolves stared
26:40Curious and confused
26:41She's human
26:42Why is she here?
26:44Look ahead
26:44We reached the training grounds
26:46Wolves fought
26:47I hugged myself
26:49Feeling vulnerable
26:49They don't know you yet
26:51But they will
26:51Will they?
26:53That depends on you
26:54And him
26:54His aim hung heavy in the air
26:56I felt it too
26:57Pressure
26:57Heat
26:58A pull
26:58Ryu entered
26:59His presence spoke volumes
27:01Talk ceased
27:02Even Kyla stood straight
27:03I should have looked away
27:05But didn't
27:05An invisible current
27:06Sparked between us
27:08Enough
27:08Dismissed
27:09They obeyed without question
27:11I realized we were alone
27:12You shouldn't be here
27:14I was just being shown around
27:15You are in the den of wolves
27:17I know
27:18I walked into a wolf auction
27:20And I'm still here
27:21An unreadable expression
27:22Crossed his face
27:23I'll take my leave
27:25Alpha
27:25She left
27:26Silence fell
27:26Ryu stepped closer
27:28My body reacted
27:29Stomach hot
27:30Breath quick
27:30Instincts betrayed reason
27:32Does my presence scare you?
27:34Good
27:34It should
27:35You said no one would touch me
27:36My word is my bond
27:38Then why do I feel like prey?
27:40He stopped inches away
27:41His wolf was close
27:42My wolf recognized you
27:44It doesn't care about contracts
27:45Recognized what?
27:47Silence
27:47Dangerous
27:48Intense
27:49Go back
27:49That's an order
27:50That one word broke me more than his order
27:52I turned
27:53Lest my legs give out
27:54That night I couldn't sleep
27:56Moonlight poured onto my bed
27:58Bright
27:58My skin was too sensitive
28:00Nerves hummed
28:01A distant howl
28:02My body reacted
28:03Heat longing
28:04And deep bone pain
28:05I clutched my chest
28:06Gasping
28:07This wasn't normal
28:08Shout
28:08Republicans
28:08Thoughれない
