00:00I married the Black Dragon Commander. We were said to be 100% compatible, though he was forced into it.
00:07For two years, he never interested in me.
00:11Are we doing this or not? I have matters to attend to.
00:16Let's not. You go ahead.
00:18Are you sure?
00:20Absolutely sure.
00:21He studied me. He put on his military uniform. As soon as he left, I dialed the Covenant.
00:31What is going on? We apologize, Ms. Lyra. Database upgrade revealed a matching error. Commander Kalen is not your true
00:39soulmate.
00:40We've been married for two years, and you're only telling me now?
00:43We're sorry. He still has an 80% compatibility with you. Theoretically, your marriage shouldn't be affected.
00:48You said theoretically. What about in reality?
00:51In reality, your 100% match is someone else.
00:55Who?
00:56We're retrieving the corrupted file.
00:59Has Kalen been notified?
01:01Not yet. He blocked us.
01:03Yeah, Kalen loathed for assigning him a human wife.
01:06Don't tell him yet. I'll handle it.
01:08We are counting on you, Lyra.
01:10This was a dragon-ruled kingdom. Kalen was its all-powerful High Commander.
01:15I was a human, stranded here five years ago. When the Bureau found me, I agreed to the match at
01:22once. I wanted his connections to go home. But Kalen didn't want me. He only agreed because of the 100
01:30% compatibility claim.
01:32I tried everything to win him over. To seduce him. He hated every move. I even threatened to call him
01:41impotent if he refused.
01:42I'll tell everyone you're frigid.
01:44He endured my touch. Cold and resentful. Until today, the truth came out. Kalen could never love me. 80%
01:53meant nothing.
01:54It's over.
01:54Only 100% could open his heart. A chill struck me. When he learns the truth, will he burn me
02:03to ashes?
02:03I stopped messaging Kalen after that call. A week later, he messaged first.
02:09I've sent a physician to check you.
02:11I'm not sick.
02:12The housekeeper said you've been distracted. You stopped shopping. Are you well?
02:16I'm fine.
02:17Hmph. Fine.
02:19Before, I'd boldly say I loved him or wanted him. Now I said nothing. Kalen typed long, then sent...
02:29I'm coming home tomorrow.
02:33So soon? No need to rush. I'm fine. Focus on your duty. The kingdom needs you. Don't worry about us.
02:42Kalen didn't reply. Half an hour later, he walked in. He looked like he'd raced through a storm to get
02:48to me.
02:49He didn't even take off his uniform. He pressed his hand to my forehead.
02:53Temperature on normal. Breathing normal. Scent normal. You're not sick?
02:59I keep telling you I'm fine.
03:01Then why have you stopped going out? Your favorite brand drops new parses every Monday.
03:06You used to come home loaded with bags.
03:09Trying to save you some money.
03:10Whatever you spend, I can earn back. We didn't marry for me to Prince Penny.
03:14I couldn't tell him that we would be divorced soon enough.
03:18In the silence, Kalen swept me into his arms toward the bedroom.
03:22You always wanted me to wear this uniform while we do something. Let's do it today. Just this once.
03:28No! No!
03:29You must be exhausted from work. I'd be a beast if I jumped all over you the minute you walked
03:34through the door.
03:34You rest. I'm not that thirsty. I'll cook for you.
03:37I scurried to the kitchen. Glancing back, I saw Kalen standing still. His expression lost.
03:44A moment later, he followed me to the kitchen.
03:48An urgent matter arose. I have to go back.
03:51Go ahead.
03:53I'll return as soon as I'm done.
03:55Don't rush. Handle your duties.
03:57Since you're cooking yourself, I have to enjoy this meal.
04:04Shall I make it and bring it over?
04:06You're... you're always running back and forth. It's too much.
04:10Very well.
04:12I intended it as an excuse, but he accepted.
04:15Was he not feeling well?
04:16As he left, I handed the cooking to the chef.
04:20When the meal was ready, I headed to headquarters.
04:23The building was massive, radiating the same suffocating pressure as Kalen.
04:30Meet me at the old spot. Send your adjunct to pick this up.
04:33Come inside.
04:36I've authorized your entry.
04:38Isn't that wrong? This is top secret. No outsiders allowed in.
04:42It's fine. No one will dare stop you.
04:45I usually wait... at the gate.
04:50Just come in.
04:52Perhaps I was mistaken, but his voice sounded softer.
04:56I braced myself and walked in.
04:59Every eye in the building turned to me.
05:02The draconic guards were in their element here.
05:05A human in these halls was an anomaly.
05:08Hey, how did you get in? Are the guards slacking?
05:10Upon learning I was Kalen's wife, they peered at me with contempt.
05:15Just her?
05:16I caught their disdain.
05:18Kalen's marriage was clearly a joke to them.
05:24Fine, you were supposed to eat with me. How could you forget again?
05:27Sorry, I got caught up at work.
05:28What kind of excuse is that?
05:30It was Isolda, a lovely siren, whose real shape is a nightingale.
05:35That if not for the 100% match, she would have been his partner.
05:40Kalen was listening to Isolda's tantrum when his nostrils flared.
05:48You're here.
05:51I must clarify, the situation isn't what you think.
05:54My apologies. I'll leave you to it. I'm off.
05:57Kalen, if you're busy, don't worry about coming home tonight. I won't leave the lights on.
06:06The data is still being restored, but he definitely has one.
06:09Understood.
06:10I think I know who it is. Fix it faster.
06:12Your efficiency is a disaster. Can't you work overtime?
06:16Miss Lyra, your data restoration is almost complete.
06:19I will send your 100% matches info immediately.
06:21Fine.
06:24I spent the evening in solitary bliss.
06:28Unexpectedly, Kalen returned.
06:31Why are you back?
06:35This is my home. Can't I come home?
06:38I didn't mean that.
06:40Lyra, there's nothing between Islot and me. It was never like that.
06:44She's just a comrade.
06:46Today's her birthday. She invited me, and I thought it was a group dinner.
06:49I lost track of time, so she came looking for me.
06:52It's no big deal.
06:54You stood her up. Did you apologize properly?
06:56I don't know her, but girls are all the same. Just sweet-talk her. She'll get over it.
07:01Are you like that, too?
07:04I... I don't need cattling. I'm fine.
07:14Wait. The protection.
07:17What?
07:20A condom.
07:21When did you buy this?
07:23Today.
07:24Why?
07:25Haven't you always wanted a child?
07:27I've changed my mind. I'm young. Let's wait.
07:31You've been truly weird lately.
07:33Have I?
07:34Yes.
07:36You used to make the first move every time.
07:39But tonight, no matter how I kissed you, you just shut down.
07:42You used to call me my love non-stop.
07:45Bug me at work.
07:47Tease me about my muscles.
07:48Now you only use my name.
07:50What's going on with you?
07:51Kalen.
07:52I want a divorce.
07:53What?
07:55Why?
07:57I don't think we're right for each other.
07:59Our status, our backgrounds, they just don't match.
08:04The compatibility bond says we're perfect together.
08:06But compatibility isn't absolute.
08:09It's just data.
08:10And we are real people.
08:11You and I can't just settle for some number.
08:14Settle?
08:17So, that's how you see it?
08:19His eyes darkened right away.
08:21The draconic horns that had started to show slowly retreated.
08:25Kalen stood up and started getting dressed.
08:28I need some space.
08:29He left for the balcony without another word.
08:32Under the moonlight, he had forgotten to retract the tail.
08:35It hung loose behind.
08:37When I was young, I had a dog.
08:39When it was happy, its tail would wag.
08:41When it was sad, it would hang, just like that.
08:45Kalen was miserable.
08:46Perhaps the divorce request was too sudden.
08:49For a high commander, a perfect, stable marriage was part of his prestige.
08:54Suddenly ending it would bring a torrent of political pressure.
08:57When Kalen returned, he asked again,
09:00Are you sure you want a divorce?
09:02Yes.
09:03But no rush.
09:04I'll go along with whatever you arrange.
09:07It'll take some time, True.
09:09My father's birthday dinner is in a few days.
09:12Come with me.
09:13Don't upset him.
09:14We'll talk about everything else after.
09:16That's fine.
09:17I can do that.
09:18So, everything you said before, was it all a lie?
09:23What?
09:24I didn't hear that.
09:26Nothing.
09:26Go to sleep.
09:27Good night.
09:28He turned and walked out of the bedroom.
09:30The Covenant sent over the data on my real match.
09:33Like me, he was human.
09:35His name was Dorian, a young, genius scientist.
09:39He was nearly Kalen's height and build.
09:41In this world of powerful beastmen,
09:44he earned his high status and fortune with his brilliant mind alone.
09:48The file had his contact info,
09:50which meant he already knew I existed.
09:53They only leave their details if one side is willing to recognize the other.
09:57But I didn't reach out to Dorian.
10:00I was still Kalen's wife.
10:02I didn't want to make things messy.
10:04Besides, I would eventually return to my own world.
10:07No need to write more tragedy into my story.
10:10On the weekend, Kalen came to pick me up for the banquet.
10:14You'll have to put up with some things today.
10:17We have to act like we're deeply in love.
10:20Don't worry.
10:21My eyes will be only for you.
10:23One more thing.
10:25My brother's coming back.
10:27You have a brother?
10:29Why have you never mentioned him?
10:31He's my half-brother.
10:32My mother's son from her first marriage.
10:35He's human.
10:37Human?
10:38We reached the estate.
10:40His father had been a powerful figure,
10:42and the banquet was filled with high society.
10:45I held on to Kalen's arm, ignoring all the stares.
10:49Kalen, is this your 100% match?
10:53What does a perfect bond feel like?
10:56Tell us.
10:57Right.
10:5870% is already rare enough.
11:00I'd rather not say.
11:02I'd hate to make you jealous.
11:04You're such a tease.
11:06But honestly, we're all envious.
11:08They say real soulmates feel something physical the second they meet.
11:12Yeah, a sudden spark, a racing heart.
11:15Is that what it's like?
11:16It was the first time I'd heard that.
11:18I thought back to the first time I met Kalen.
11:21None of that had happened.
11:23If he hadn't felt it either,
11:25wouldn't he have figured out the data was wrong?
11:28I looked up at him, but his face was totally calm.
11:32It's more than that.
11:34It's an overwhelming urge to possess the other or be possessed.
11:38His words trailed off,
11:40and he lowered his head, watching me.
11:43The banquet began.
11:44The host stepped onto the stage.
11:46I have called you here for an urgent announcement.
11:49My wife passed away long ago.
11:53Before she married me, she had a son.
11:55After she passed away,
11:56her eldest son stayed with his grandmother.
11:59He came to live with us after my mother-in-law died.
12:02All these years later,
12:04we've grown as close as real father and son.
12:06Today, I officially declare him a true member of the family of Ashwarren.
12:12Kalen seemed to have expected this.
12:14Does this not bother you?
12:17Bother me?
12:18He's human, yet he's to be your brother.
12:21My mother was human.
12:23You are human.
12:24His candor surprised me.
12:26Come, Dorian.
12:27Come meet everyone.
12:28At the sound of his name,
12:29my mind went blank.
12:31The air seemed to shift.
12:33I looked up and saw him.
12:36Dorian.
12:36My true 100% match.
12:40Dorian's gaze cut through the crowd,
12:42locking straight onto me.
12:43In that split second,
12:45my heart seized.
12:47Every cell in me screaming to merge with him.
12:50But it was only a flicker.
12:52I was human.
12:53And humans had the will to master their base instincts.
12:57Dorian's eyes fell on my arm,
13:00still entwined with Kalen's.
13:01His face, unreadable.
13:03He had control over himself as well.
13:06The patriarch guided Dorian through the crowd
13:09until they reached us.
13:11Three years, brother.
13:12You've grown.
13:13Are you almost 1.9 meters now?
13:15Nearly.
13:161.89.
13:17You locked yourself away for three years for your research
13:19and didn't even come home.
13:21But I am back now.
13:22This is Lyra, my wife.
13:24I invited you to the wedding,
13:25but you were too busy.
13:27My bad.
13:28I'll make it up to you with three drinks.
13:30Fair enough.
13:31I'll drink with you today.
13:32Lyra, you don't mind?
13:33Go ahead.
13:34Don't worry about me.
13:35After a few rounds of wine,
13:37Dorian's faint, ethereal scent
13:39seemed to seep into my bones.
13:41I excused myself to the terrace for air.
13:44The cool breeze cleared my head.
13:46Moments later, footsteps approached.
13:49It was Dorian.
13:50Lyra, may I call you that?
13:53I was always curious why my soulmate never contacted me.
13:56Seeing you now, I understand.
13:58I laughed awkwardly.
13:59The Covenant messed up the data.
14:01I thought I was a perfect match with Caelan.
14:03I see.
14:04It isn't the first time they've made a mistake.
14:06But Caelan doesn't know, does he?
14:07We should keep it between us.
14:09He doesn't?
14:10Dorian raised an eyebrow.
14:12I had to admit,
14:13back in my original world,
14:16Dorian would have been my ideal type.
14:18The Covenant is panicking over how to break it to him.
14:22Dorian scoffed.
14:24How incompetent.
14:25Sounds like they've never been crushed
14:26by the grind of a real career.
14:28Exactly!
14:29If I were their boss,
14:30I'd make them work 996 schedules.
14:32At their efficiency,
14:33even 007 wouldn't save them.
14:35Wait.
14:36You know that too?
14:37How could you?
14:39I thought you grew up here.
14:41Maybe I didn't even get here as early as you did.
14:44When did you come here?
14:46Five years ago.
14:47You?
14:48Dorian's polished facade cracked.
14:50A while before that.
14:51His posture relaxing.
14:53How have you been holding up in this draconic hellhole?
14:55It's insane.
14:56I want to go home.
14:57Soon.
14:58What?
14:59The human world and the beastmen world
15:01exist in separate spatial dimensions.
15:03My father brought me here.
15:04I've been doing this research
15:05to find a way to travel between the two realms.
15:08The results are promising.
15:09We should be able to return shortly.
15:11Dorian!
15:12My god!
15:14Are you a saint?
15:15Just a little bit of science.
15:17It's all in the math.
15:18Dorian flashed a hand gesture from our original world.
15:21Back home, I was the youngest researcher published in the journals.
15:24It was you?
15:26I saw your headlines!
15:29I remembered a brilliant young prodigy
15:31whose face was plastered everywhere.
15:34Now, the pride of the scientific world sat before me,
15:38plotting our escape.
15:42Lila, there you are.
15:44Kaelin stepped out of the darkness.
15:46Kaelin's demeanor had shifted from gentle to icy.
15:50His eyes were the golden slitted pupils of a black dragon.
15:54He fixed on Dorian with predatory intent.
15:57Dorian didn't flinch.
15:59Lila and I were just reminiscing.
16:01Father is still waiting for you.
16:03Feel free to visit my lab whenever you like.
16:07Get him away from you.
16:10Kaelin pulled me against him.
16:12His hand gripped where Dorian had just brushed.
16:15What were you talking about?
16:17You seemed quite happy.
16:20Just some lab work.
16:22His voice was calm.
16:24Are you going to his laboratory?
16:25But the air around them crackled with tension.
16:29I gritted my teeth,
16:30forcing myself to remain calm.
16:33Perhaps...
16:34It was the first time I truly felt
16:37the sheer terrifying power of the dragon.
16:41He was human-shaped,
16:42yet I could almost feel his invisible claws grazing my skin,
16:47marking me as his property.
16:50His possessiveness had erupted.
16:53I knew it was not love.
16:55Visiting Dorian's laboratory was non-negotiable.
16:58I needed to see that machine.
17:00My only ticket back to my own world.
17:03The moment Kaelin left for his duties the next morning,
17:06I slipped out.
17:07Dorian walked me through his research,
17:09his words igniting a flicker of hope in my chest.
17:13Time vanished in that sterile alchemical space.
17:17It wasn't until dusk.
17:19I realized my phone was flooded
17:21with Kaelin's missed calls and messages.
17:23Still texting Kaelin?
17:27Yes.
17:29You said he wasn't exactly warm.
17:30What changed?
17:31Who knows?
17:32Probably the possessiveness of a dragon in his prime.
17:36Dorian dimmed the lab lights,
17:38and we stepped out together.
17:40We ran into Kaelin the second we reached the ground floor.
17:44He'd been waiting there for hours,
17:46his eyes bloodshot.
17:48My scout said you were here.
17:50I didn't want to believe it, but it's true.
17:53I'm sorry.
17:54I didn't check my phone.
18:04I followed him silently,
18:06my mind still racing with the schematics I'd seen.
18:10Lya, I can't escort you home today.
18:12What a pity.
18:13Come back tomorrow.
18:14I have more to show you.
18:16Kaelin instantly went into defensive mode.
18:19She won't be coming back.
18:20That remains to be seen.
18:23Dorian met his murderous gaze with a faint, mocking smile.
18:29Kaelin, you once invited me to your estate.
18:32I'd love to see where you and Lyra live.
18:34It's not convenient.
18:36My apologies, I didn't realize.
18:38I suppose I don't have a home to visit anymore, do I?
18:41My parents are gone.
18:43Dorian winked at me, feigning hurt.
18:46Lyra, babe?
18:47Is he always this stifling?
18:50Is that name yours to use?
18:52The atmosphere turned explosive.
18:55Kaelin's eyes shifted into vertical slits.
18:59Just a joke, Kaelin.
19:01With such a possessive grip,
19:02what will you do if she's stolen away?
19:05That will never happen.
19:07I love Lyra.
19:10And she loves me.
19:11The word love catching in his throat.
19:15Dorian chuckled.
19:17I envy you.
19:19Though the Covenant told me I also have a hundred percent soul match.
19:23His eyes locked on mine.
19:24A clear challenge.
19:26Kaelin stepped forward,
19:28shielding me with his large armored frame.
19:31Darian, I would not hesitate to kill you right here.
19:36I finally snapped back to my senses
19:38and tugged at Kaelin's sleeve.
19:40Let's go home.
19:41We finally dragged Kaelin away.
19:44Lyra.
19:44You shouldn't have met him behind my back.
19:48Why?
19:50You are my wife.
19:51Yet you spent an entire day alone in a confined space with another male.
19:56The very air in the car shifted.
19:58I could feel his emotional collapse.
20:01He was bordering on insanity,
20:03trying to suppress the image of us together.
20:06We're getting a divorce, aren't we?
20:08We agreed to discuss it after the banquet.
20:10You really want to leave?
20:12Because of him?
20:13Not because of him.
20:15But I have my reasons.
20:16I had only wanted a divorce because of the data error.
20:20Now, I wanted to go home.
20:22If he didn't love me,
20:24I should free him before I vanished.
20:27Kaelin fell silent.
20:28I thought he was already drawing up the divorce papers.
20:31But the moment we got home,
20:33he pushed me into the bathroom.
20:35What are you doing?
20:38A bath.
20:40You're covered of his scent.
20:41It has to be washed off.
20:43These clothes are going too.
20:46I can do it myself.
20:47No.
20:49I can't trust anyone but myself.
20:52Kaelin scrubbed me with obsessive force,
20:54the shower soaking his dress shirt.
20:56He was losing control.
20:58His pupils were fully draconic.
21:01The heat radiating from him
21:03meant he'd entered his mating rut early,
21:05all because of jealousy.
21:07When we finished,
21:08he tossed a set of clothes at me.
21:10It was the exact set I'd planned to wear to seduce him
21:13the day the data changed.
21:15He forced me into them without a word.
21:17I had underestimated the terrifying power
21:20of a dragon in rut.
21:25I tried to push him away.
21:30Go change yourself.
21:32Kaelin left,
21:33only to return in his crisp,
21:35forbidden military uniform
21:37as he dragged me back into the abyss.
21:51You're hiding something from me.
22:03Hot tears landing on my skin.
22:14You were so happy talking to him.
22:18Will you be with him after the divorce?
22:23Can we...
22:24Can we not get divorced?
22:26The night ended with me passing out.
22:28The night ended in my unconsciousness.
22:31I do ready for the wish of you.
22:31Bye.
