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'm gonna let your body decide if this is good enough for ya
02:00Holdin' 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 the letter lay on the kitchen
02:27table like a death sentence edges curling from the humidity ink already smudged where my tears
02:32had fallen earlier final notice red stamps a number so large it might as well have been written in
02:38blood i read it again even though i knew every word by heart my pulse pounding in my ears as
02:43if
02:43my heart were trying to claw its way out of my chest they would take the house tomorrow not my
02:48house not really i'd never owned anything in my life but it was the only place that had ever smelled
02:53like home boiled rice in the mornings rain on rusted tin and my mother's old jasmine soap lingering in
02:59the walls long after she was gone if 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 my hands trembled
03:09as i folded the letter each crease precise and controlled i learned long ago that breaking down
03:14solved nothing tears didn't pay debts fear didn't scare monsters away and monsters were very real
03:20they just didn't always look like wolves right to repay my stepfather's debt i took a desperate gamble
03:25the auction confirmation made my heart race nothing could be undone if i didn't respond my future
03:31wouldn't be sold at a high price but the clock ticked cruelly every second a countdown i had to find
03:36a
03:37way out even if it wasn't honorable i pulled my jacket tighter stepping into the night the building
03:42was unmarked hidden between abandoned warehouses two bodyguards scrutinized me judging if i was prey or
03:47commodity name the bodyguard asked coldly i i am the item the word tasted bitter and resolute
03:54they asked no further questions and let me in the corridor was filled with smoke perfume and an
04:00invisible force the force pressed against my skin raising goosebumps on my arms my instincts screamed
04:05to run but my legs kept moving the hall was packed with men unusual men i immediately felt the shift
04:11in the air their gazes heavy my grandmother would whisper those are wolves alphas uncrowned kings i was led
04:18to a small platform in the center of the hall a spotlight flared blinding me whispers spread through
04:23the crowd lot number seven human untouched verified untouched as if i were a plastic wrapped commodity
04:29my cheeks burned but i lifted my chin i wouldn't cry here if something precious had to be sold i
04:35would
04:35stand tall bidding started low then escalated enough to repay 10 times the debt my heart pounded fear and
04:42relief intertwined i told myself to focus on this not their greedy eyes suddenly the hall fell silent a
04:48heavy absolute aura enveloped the crowd felt him before i saw him the pressure in my chest suffocating
04:54me as my eyes adjusted i saw him standing at the back of the hall he wasn't bidding he was
04:59taller
04:59broader dressed in black devouring the light his features were sharp his eyes deep and unreadable
05:04power radiated from him primal yet controlled alpha i didn't know his name but the others did
05:10i saw it in their averted gazes and the auctioneer's tense posture he looked at me as if i were
05:15a question
05:15he didn't want to ask one night the auctioneer prompted carefully and he did i want her his voice
05:22was calm low resolute the number he named was staggering a collective gasp erupted from the crowd
05:28no one argued no one dared the gavel fell sold the sound reverberated in my bones the finality
05:35crushed me my knees almost buckling it was over i was bought my body had a new owner the most
05:41dangerous
05:41man in the room the alpha turned and left his gaze never leaving me confident i would follow
05:46i didn't know his name i didn't know what he would do to me i only knew that the life
05:50i understood was
05:51over and something darker more powerful had begun i followed him having nowhere else to go the hall
05:57outside was dim lit by amber strips my heels echoed too loudly on the polished floor each step proclaiming
06:03my fragility in contrast to the force ahead the alpha didn't look back not once like a shadow
06:09tethered to his heel possessions follow their owner the thought churned my stomach two gods wordlessly
06:15opened a heavy steel door the icy night air rushed in carrying the salty tang of the nearby ocean
06:20outside a sleek black car waited engine purring predatory in its stillness the alpha stopped at
06:26the car turning at last up close he was even more daunting he towered over me his presence a cloud
06:32i had to crane my neck to meet his gaze and when i did my breath hitched his eyes weren't
06:37cruel
06:38that unsettled me more they were sharp assessing restrained as if he was measuring something
06:43dangerous and trying not to touch it you're trembling the observation wasn't unkind nor was
06:49it gentle it was simply a fact i'm fine i lied my voice weaker than i wanted he scrutinized me
06:55for a
06:55moment then opened the car door get in no threat no compulsion only certainty the car smelled of leather
07:01and a distinct male scent clean deep expensive i sat stiffly hands clasped staring straight ahead
07:07until the door clicked shut enclosing me a moment later he slid in beside me close enough for me to
07:13feel his heat the car moved streetlights blurred past leaping across the glass like escaping thoughts
07:18i counted my breaths losing myself in the rhythm inhale exhale inhale exhale then i spoke because
07:26silence was heavier than fear may i know your name he turned his head slightly you don't need it
07:32that's more than i expected i think i do i said softly if you're going to own me tonight his
07:38jaw
07:38tightened i don't own you he replied i bought your time there's a difference i wasn't sure if that made
07:44me feel any better the car left the city leaving concrete behind instead endless dark roads appeared
07:50as we drove the air grew heavy my skin tingled instincts screamed warnings we passed through a
07:56huge iron gate behind the gate a fortress not a home stone walls tall trees glowing windows the car
08:02stopped under a wide archway is this yours yes of course it is inside silence too quiet i felt small
08:10a human heart in a wolf's den he led me upstairs past closed doors to a bedroom at the hall's
08:15end
08:15your room my room huge room king bed dark linens soft light fireplace lit flames danced you weren't
08:23going to not yet his tone made my heart race stay here tonight alone for now wait what happens next
08:31rest we'll talk tomorrow tomorrow the word echoed the door clicked shut i stood heart pounding nothing
08:39happened i sank to the bed confused and scared why by me if not for the world then why in
08:45this
08:45big house the alpha roamed perhaps he was still ever restrained resisting instincts more dangerous
08:51than my fear i didn't sleep every sound made me tense the house creaked wind howled through trees
08:56time fragmented until dawn through curtains a knock sharp and precise who is it the door opened he entered
09:03in daylight still dangerous more real his gaze swept over me my pulse jumped you should eat
09:09then we'll talk about what his eyes darkened and emotion flickered why i bought you first time
09:15since the gavel i felt something sharper than fear hope this alphas game not what i expected i had a
09:21terrible thrilling premonition my life was about to change the dining room looked like something torn
09:26from a different world steam rose from a plate already set before an empty chair the scent warm and
09:32comforting fresh bread eggs and something spiced and rich my stomach betrayed me with a soft growl
09:37reminding me that fear didn't cancel hunger sit i obeyed up close the alpha's presence pressed
09:43against me even more strongly than it had the night before not aggression control like a blade kept
09:48sheathed only by discipline he sat with his forearms resting on the table hands relaxed eyes never leaving
09:54my face i forced myself to meet his gaze why am i here you were hungry you know what i
10:00mean a corner of
10:02his mouth twitched not quite a smile but something close eat first i hesitated then picked up the fork
10:08the food was delicious which only made the knot in my chest tighten nothing about this situation matched
10:13the horror i had prepared myself for he watched me quietly as i ate not with hunger but with focus
10:19as if memorizing details i hadn't agreed to give him when i finally set the fork down he leaned back
10:25slightly my name is ryu the sound of it sent a strange shiver through me i've heard of you i
10:31admitted before i could stop myself of course i had every supernatural underground whispered his name
10:37like a warning the alpha who never took a mate the alpha who ruled without mercy or so the stories
10:42said
10:43most people have and most of what they've heard is wrong then tell me the truth i said softly
10:48why buy me his eyes darkened and for the first time i felt something crack in the perfect control
10:55he wore like armor i don't bet i frowned you bought me last night no he corrected for the first
11:01time in
11:01over a decade the weight of it hung between us why me my fingers curled his jaw muscle twitched because
