Short filmTranscript
00:00Because of that perfect compatibility spore, the Werebeast commander had no choice but to marry me.
00:05But right after the wedding, he couldn't have cared less about me.
00:08I was desperate, so I tried to get him into bed every single day.
00:12I was dead set on it.
00:14If we had enough SX, he'd eventually fall for me.
00:17I just knew it.
00:18Today, I was trying to seduce him again when my phone lit up with an urgent alert from the Werebeast
00:23administration.
00:24We found an error in your compatibility score with General Tarrington.
00:27He's not your perfect match.
00:28I froze, totally shocked.
00:33No wonder he was always so cold to me.
00:36Beneath me, Benjamin had no clue about the alert.
00:39He rubbed his dick against my butt.
00:41You gonna wanna or not, I got stuff to take care of.
00:44I scrambled for my clothes, yanking them on as I backed away.
00:48No, go back to work.
00:50His frown got deeper.
00:52You sure about that?
00:54Yeah, I'm sure.
00:56I stammered out.
00:57He stared at me long and hard, but he didn't say what he was thinking.
01:01He just got dressed in his uniform, not a single word, then headed out the door.
01:05The second the door clicked shut, I called the administration.
01:08What the hell is going on here?
01:10I snapped.
01:11We're so sorry, Ms. Penrith.
01:13When we were updating historical data, we found a glitch in your compatibility score with General Tarrington.
01:18He's not your perfect match.
01:20We've been married for two years, and you're just now figuring this out?
01:23We sincerely apologize.
01:25According to the corrected data, you still have an 80% compatibility.
01:28In theory, your marriage shouldn't be effective.
01:32You said in theory.
01:33What about in real life?
01:35The rep hesitated.
01:37In real life, your actual perfect match is someone else.
01:41Who?
01:42We don't know yet.
01:44We lost some data during the system update, and we're doing everything we can to get it back.
01:51I ran a hand through my hair, pacing back and forth across the huge bedroom.
02:00Have you told Benjamin yet?
02:02No, ma'am.
02:03He blocked all our numbers.
02:09Right.
02:10I'd totally forgotten about that.
02:13When Benjamin first found out the administration had matched him with a human,
02:18Benjamin, he was so ticked off, he blocked them on everything.
02:22Don't tell him yet.
02:23Let me figure something out first.
02:25We really appreciate your cooperation, the rep said,
02:29sounding like a weight had been flippeded off their shoulders.
02:33In this world, Wearbeats ran the show.
02:38Thanks to their insane physical strength,
02:40they had a total monopoly on all the political and military power.
02:46Benjamin was the top military commander.
02:49Pissing him off was basically digging your own grave.
02:53Humans, on the other hand, were stuck doing basic, crappy jobs.
02:59After I transmuted here, I'd been slaving away at those dead-end gigs,
03:03all while scrambling to find a way back to my Aminian bird to my original world.
03:08Then, one day, the administration dropped a bombshell.
03:13I was the perfect match for their top general.
03:17I jumped at the chance.
03:22No one his rank had ever married a human before.
03:24He only did it because of that perfect compatibility score.
03:27After the wedding, he buried himself in work and barely ever came home.
03:30I'd wait in the living room until midnight.
03:33The study light stayed on.
03:34Then, his footsteps would walk past the bedroom door and keep going.
03:37I made it my daily mission to hit on him whenever he was around.
03:40I'd sit on his desk while he worked.
03:42I'd leave the bedroom door open.
03:43I'd wear things that should have worked on any man.
03:46Nothing worked.
03:46He hated every single second of it.
03:48His jaw would tighten when I walked in.
03:50His eyes stayed fixed on the paperwork.
03:52Eventually, I resorted to blackmail.
03:55One more step and I'll tell everyone you're impotent.
03:58He stopped.
03:59Jaw tight.
04:01Fists clenched.
04:03Then, he walked into the bedroom.
04:05After that, he let me do whatever I wanted.
04:07But he never once looked me in the eye.
04:09His hands stayed fisted at his sides, like holding himself back.
04:13It didn't matter.
04:14I wasn't after his heart.
04:15Then, the administration called.
04:17For a werebeast who couldn't care less about romance.
04:19A compatibility score meant jacksot.
04:22Only a perfect score could make him feel any real affection.
04:24I thought about it for one night.
04:26The next morning, I stopped texting him.
04:28Stopped asking when he'd be home.
04:30A week passed.
04:31Then, my phone buzzed.
04:32I had the private doctor swing by to check on you.
04:35I'm not sick.
04:36The butler said you've been zoning out a ton lately.
04:38You stopped buying clothes and bags.
04:40You sure you're feeling okay?
04:41I'm totally fine.
04:43All right.
04:44I put the phone down and went back to my book.
04:46His typing bubble appeared.
04:48Flashed.
04:49Disappeared.
04:50Appeared again.
04:52I'm coming home tomorrow.
04:55I typed up a long reply real quick.
04:58Tomorrow?
04:59You don't gotta rush back.
05:01Seriously.
05:02Everything's good here.
05:04Stay focused on work.
05:06This country needs you right now.
05:07Don't worry about home.
05:10Benjamin didn't hit me back after that.
05:12He was probably touched by how understanding I was being.
05:15I hoped that when he finally found out the truth, he'd remember how nice I'd been.
05:19Half an hour later, Benjamin walked right through the front door.
05:21He looked beat.
05:22Like he dropped everything at work and bolted straight home.
05:26He didn't even take off his uniform before pressing the back of his hand to my forehead.
05:30Your temp, breathing, and scent are all normal.
05:34You're not sick.
05:35I already told you.
05:36I'm completely fine.
05:38Then why'd you stop shopping?
05:40Your favorite brand drops new stuff every Monday and you usually load up.
05:45Uh, I just wanted to save you some cash.
05:49You don't gotta do that.
05:51Benjamin stared right at me.
05:53I'll make back whatever you spend.
05:55I didn't marry you so you could pinch pennies.
05:58I couldn't bring myself to tell him the truth.
06:01We were gonna get a divorce soon.
06:03I stayed quiet.
06:05And then Benjamin suddenly picked me up in his arms.
06:09And carried me to the bedroom.
06:13He murmured near my ears, his breath hot against my neck.
06:16You've been dying to sleep with me in my uniform.
06:18We can do it today.
06:19Just this once.
06:20I felt his hands slide down my waist.
06:23Fingers hooking under the hem of my shirt.
06:25The rough fabric of his uniform brushed my bare skin.
06:28His lips trailed down to my colophon.
06:31His canine teeth scratched lightly.
06:33Not quite breaking skin, just enough to make me shiver.
06:36He pulled me closer, pressing me against the cold metal buttons of his chest.
06:40His hips pinned me against the bed frame.
06:42No, it's fine!
06:44I scrambled out of his grip.
06:46I pressed my back against the wall, putting distance between us.
06:49His eyes had started to narrow into those vertical slits, the ones that meant his instincts were waking up.
06:54You must be beat from work.
06:56I'd be a total jerk to wear you out the second you walk in the door.
06:59You need to rest.
07:01You hungry?
07:02I can cook for you today.
07:05I hightailed it out of there, booking it to the safety of the kitchen.
07:08Right before I shut the door, I glanced back and saw Benjamin still standing there.
07:11His arms were frozen in the exact same spot as when he was holding me, and he looked totally confused.
07:18A few minutes later, he wandered into the kitchen.
07:21Something came up last minute. I gotta head back and handle it.
07:25Okay, go on then.
07:27I'll be right back as soon as I'm done.
07:29No rush. Just focus on your work.
07:31You barely ever cook for us. I really want to eat this meal.
07:35I looked at him, and a thought popped into my head.
07:39I can just bring the food to you when it's ready. It's way too tiring for you to keep running
07:43back and forth.
07:44That works.
07:44His quick yes totally caught me off guard.
07:47Maybe it's because I'm human, but he never liked it when I went to military headquarters before.
07:51I'd only offered to bring the food as an excuse to avoid him.
07:54I never thought he'd actually say yes. He was acting super weird today.
07:59As soon as he left the house, I called our private chef to come take over the cooking.
08:02Once the food was ready, I took my sweet time walking over to headquarters.
08:06The building was huge and scary, just like Benjamin, the werewolf himself.
08:10The whole place felt totally overwhelming.
08:12I stood at the closest intersection and called him.
08:15I'm waiting at the usual spot. Have your lieutenant come pick up the food.
08:18Just come inside.
08:20His deep voice rumbered over the phone.
08:23I'll tell the guards to let you through.
08:25I don't think that's a good idea.
08:27This is a top secret military facility. Civilians aren't allowed in here.
08:31Doesn't matter. Nobody's going to stop you.
08:34But I've always waited at the intersection before.
08:38Benjamin paused on the other end of the line.
08:41Just come inside.
08:42Maybe I was imagining it.
08:45But his voice sounded a little softer than usual.
08:48I really didn't want to go in though.
08:50We were getting a divorce anyway, so there was no point in making myself known now.
08:55But Benjamin wasn't the type of guy who takes no for an answer.
08:59I forced myself to keep walking.
09:01I got a ton of weird looks on the way in.
09:05Because werebeasts have a huge physical advantage.
09:08They run the entire military.
09:09Seeing a regular human wandering around the base was pretty damn rare.
09:13One werebeast actually stopped me.
09:15Hey, how'd you get in here?
09:17Did the guards just quit their jobs?
09:19Someone nearby quickly pulled him aside and set him straight.
09:22When the guy realized I was Benjamin's wife, he checked me out from head to toe.
09:26Her?
09:28The hate in his voice was thick.
09:29You could practically taste it.
09:31To him, Benjamin marrying me was a total embarrassment.
09:34I finally made it to the Supreme Commander's office, only to hear a loud ruckus coming from inside.
09:40Benjamin! We agreed we were getting food today.
09:42How the hell did you forget again?
09:45It was at Sierra Martin.
09:46She was a total knockout of a werebeast.
09:48Her shifted form was a nightingale.
09:50She was also his old mentor's daughter.
09:52I didn't find out until after we got married that if his 100% perfect match never showed up,
09:56Benjamin would have probably ended up with her.
09:58Socially speaking, they were a perfect fit.
10:00Sierra stepped closer, her hand landing on Benjamin's chest.
10:03She leaned in, her fingers gripping the fabric of his uniform, her voice dropping low.
10:07You forgot my birthday dinner.
10:09You owe me Benjamin.
10:10Big time.
10:11Benjamin caught her wrist.
10:12He was about to push her away when his nose twitched.
10:15His head snapped up.
10:16His eyes locked onto mine across the room.
10:19I was standing in the doorway, holding the lunchbox.
10:22You made it!
10:23He took a long stride toward me.
10:25I need to clear this up.
10:26It's not what it looks like.
10:29Sorry, I shouldn't have been revupted.
10:31He didn't owe me any explanation.
10:32If anyone was butting in here, it was me.
10:34Did I hear you guys had lunch plans?
10:36Perfect timing.
10:37The chef, uh, I mean, I made way too much food anyway.
10:39You two should split it so it doesn't go to waste.
10:41I'll let you get back to it.
10:42Take all the time you need to catch up.
10:44Oh, and Benjamin, if you're swamped tonight, don't sweat coming home.
10:48I won't leave a light on for you.
10:50Benjamin's brow furrowed into a slow, tight prowl.
10:53Avoiding his gaze entirely, I turned and hight-tailed it out of there.
10:56Once I was outside, I shot a text to the Werebeast administration.
11:00Who's Benjamin's actual 100% match?
11:02We still don't know.
11:04The files are being fixed, but we can confirm he definitely has one.
11:07Came the reply.
11:08Well, I had a pretty good hunch who it was.
11:11Hurry up and fix him.
11:13You guys are painfully slow.
11:15Work around the clock if you have to.
11:16I need this done yesterday.
11:17Around the clock?
11:18Never mind.
11:19As a mere human, I have no right to demand anything of you.
11:22I was just shoving my phone back into my pocket when it buzzed again.
11:26By the way, Miss Penrith, if everything goes as planned,
11:28your part of the files will be restored real soon.
11:30Once they are, I'll shoot you the info on your own 100% match right away.
11:35KK.
11:37What's that supposed to mean?
11:38Don't ask.
11:41That evening, I was perfectly happy being by myself.
11:44But, surprise, surprise, Benjamin actually came home.
11:47I wasn't kidding about not leaving a light on.
11:49The living room was pitch black.
11:51He didn't even bother hitting the switch.
11:53His tall figure just loomed in the dark, right in front of me.
11:56I rubbed my eyes and awed.
11:59What are you doing home?
12:00This is my house.
12:01You gonna tell me I can't come home?
12:04That's not what I meant.
12:08Tabatha.
12:09Yeah?
12:10There's absolutely nothing going on between Sierra and me.
12:14We never got together, not even in the past.
12:17I know people say we were supposed to get married, but that's total BS.
12:21I only see her as a fellow soldier.
12:23We plan to eat today because it's her birthday.
12:25She invited me to a dinner party a while back, and I said yes because I figured there'd be tons
12:29of other people there.
12:30But I totally forgot about it today.
12:31That's why she came looking for me.
12:33Benjamin was talking a mile a minute, spilting everything at once.
12:36A total 180 from his usual quiet self.
12:38Waved a hand dismissively in the dark.
12:40It really doesn't matter.
12:42You forgot her invite.
12:43Did you at least apologize properly?
12:46I don't know much about female werebeasts, but girls are pretty much all the same.
12:51Just comfort her a little, and she'll be good.
12:54Are you like that too?
12:55He asked out of the blue.
12:56In the dark, Benjaminian's eyes glowed a faint green.
12:59A dead giveaway his werewolf instincts were locked right onto me.
13:03Me?
13:03You don't need to coddle me.
13:05I'm totally fine.
13:06And I meant that for real.
13:09Without warning, Benjamin bent down and crashed his lips against mine.
13:13He was being weirdly forward, almost aggressive.
13:16He hadn't even taken off that dark uniform I loved so much,
13:19and its cold metal buttons scraped my skin, sending a shiver down my spine.
13:22In the quiet of the room, the sharp click of his belt buckle unfassing echoed.
13:26I forced myself to stay calm and stopped him before things got out of hand.
13:30Wait.
13:30Put one on first.
13:32Put what on?
13:36A condom.
13:38Benjamin froze.
13:40When'd you get these?
13:43Today.
13:44I didn't dare tell him the truth.
13:45When he could come home at noon and suddenly wanted to sleep with me,
13:48I'd worried he might actually go through with it.
13:50So I'd rushed out that afternoon and bought a box.
13:53Why'd you buy these?
13:55I thought you always wanted a baby.
13:57Well, I realized I'm still young.
13:59Let's hold off on kids for a bit.
14:01I used to think I could lock down my spot by having his kid.
14:04I was willing to do whatever it took to find clues on how to get back home.
14:08But clearly, that plan was out the window now.
14:11My main goal was to keep my distance from Benjamin.
14:14So when he finally found out the truth,
14:16I wouldn't be the one taking the brunt of his anger.
14:21I pulled out a condom and reached over to put it on him,
14:24but Benjamin didn't move an inch.
14:27You've been acting really weird lately.
14:29He said.
14:30Nah, I haven't.
14:32You have.
14:33Benjamin's voice was firm.
14:34You used to be so into this.
14:36But today, no matter how much I kiss you,
14:39you're giving me nothing back.
14:41You used to call me honey or sweetie all the time.
14:44You'd even interrupt my work just to say you wanted to check out my chest.
14:48Now?
14:50You only call me by my first name.
14:53What the hell is going on with you?
14:55Since he was already asking,
14:56I figured it was better to just rip the band-aid off instead of dragging it out.
15:00I mustered up all my courage and said,
15:02Benjamin, I want a divorce.
15:06Benjamin stared at me, stunned.
15:08He sat completely still for a long time before finally asking.
15:11Why?
15:12Maybe we just aren't a good match.
15:14Our backgrounds, our social status, our identities, none of it aligns.
15:18The compatibility scores say we are.
15:21But compatibility scores aren't the whole story.
15:24They're just numbers.
15:25And we're real people.
15:27We can't just settle for a miserable marriage over a statistic.
15:31Settle?
15:33I nodded cautiously.
15:34Given everything Benjamin had put up with in this marriage,
15:37wasn't he just settling too?
15:38So that's what you think?
15:39The glow in his eyes died instantly.
15:46Benjamin stood and pulled his clothes back on.
15:48He walked out of the bedroom and stepped onto the balcony.
15:52Outside, the moonlight was bright enough to wash out most of the stars.
15:55He'd forgotten to hide his tail, and it hung limply behind him.
15:58I had a puppy when I was a kid.
16:00When it was happy, its tail would stand straight up and wag.
16:04When it was upset, it would droop exactly like that.
16:07Benjamin was upset.
16:08Maybe I'd sprung the divorce on him too fast, and he just wasn't ready for it.
16:12As the supreme commander of the military, maintaining a flawless marriage on paper was crucial for his public image.
16:18A sudden divorce from a highly compatible wife meant he'd be facing immediate backlash from all sides.
16:24When Benjamin finally calmed down, he came back inside.
16:28Are you absolutely sure you want a divorce?
16:31Yes, but there's no rush.
16:33I can work around whatever schedule works best for you.
16:35We will need to wait.
16:37He slipped right back into his usual rational, serious self.
16:41My father's birthday is in a few days.
16:43I need you to come to the family dinner with me so he doesn't worry.
16:46We can hash out the divorce details after.
16:49That's not a problem.
16:51I can definitely do that.
16:52He didn't look angry at all.
16:54That was great.
16:55A massive wave of relief washed over me.
16:57Just as I was congratulating myself for handling the situation so smoothly, Benjamin spoke up, his voice barely above a
17:04whisper.
17:05So was everything you told me before just a lie?
17:09What?
17:10I hadn't quite caught it.
17:12Never mind.
17:12Go to sleep.
17:13Good night.
17:14Benjamin turned away and walked out of the bedroom.
17:17Shortly after, the Werebeast administration sent over the profile for my new match.
17:22Like me, he was human.
17:24His name was Emmanuel Lawton.
17:26He was a brilliant young scientist, built almost as big and tall as Benjamin.
17:31In a world run by Werebeasts, his sheer intelligence had bought him serious wealth and social standing.
17:37There was a phone number at the bottom of his file.
17:39That meant he already knew who I was.
17:42A match only handed out their contact FOS if they actually wanted to connect.
17:46I didn't reach out to Emmanuel, though.
17:48I was still Benjamin's wife and I didn't want to stir up any unnecessary complications.
17:53Besides, I'd be leaving this world eventually anyway.
17:57There was no point in starting another doomed relationship.
18:00That weekend, Benjamin picked me up for the family banquet.
18:03Just like he promised.
18:04I need a favor today.
18:05We need to pretend we're happily married.
18:07He said on the drive over.
18:09Don't worry.
18:09I told him, I'll act like I'm completely devoted to you.
18:14One more thing.
18:15He added, my older brother is coming home today.
18:20You have a brother?
18:22You never mentioned him.
18:23Half-brother.
18:24He's my mom's kid from her first marriage before she met my dad.
18:29He's human.
18:30I stared at him.
18:34Human?
18:37Yeah, my mom is human.
18:39Strictly speaking, I'm a half-warebeast.
18:41The werebeast world was obsessed with bloodlines.
18:44To them, being a half-warebeast was even worse than being human.
18:47I'd heard rumors about Benjamin's heritage before, but his blunt admission still threw me.
18:52I couldn't imagine the kind of pressure and pain a half-warebeast had to push through to reach his level
18:56of power.
18:57Yet he seemed totally unfazed by it.
18:59We pulled up to the Tarrington's mansion.
19:02Benjamin's father used to be a massive deal in the werebeast world, and his birthday banquet was crawling with the
19:06elite.
19:07I looped my arm through Benjamin's, ignoring the stares from the other guests.
19:13A guy who looked like an old friend walked up to us.
19:16Benjamin, is this your 100% match?
19:19What does a perfect match actually feel like?
19:21Come on, tell us.
19:22Yeah.
19:23A few other friends chimed in, crowding around.
19:26A 100% match is insanely rare.
19:29My wife and I are at 70%, and that's already considered huge.
19:32No kidding.
19:33When I scored a 68% match, my mom was over the moon.
19:36Benjamin smiled.
19:37Then I'd better keep it to myself.
19:39Wouldn't want you guys getting jealous.
19:41Oh, come on.
19:42We're not like that.
19:44Still, I seriously envy you two.
19:47I've heard perfect matches get these distinct physical reactions when they first meet.
19:53Right.
19:54They say you feel this sudden jolt in your chest, and your vision sharpens.
19:59Like you instantly recognize each other without even needing to see the test results.
20:04Was that true?
20:05That was the first time I was hearing about it.
20:08Looking back at when I first met Benjamin.
20:10Neither of us went through those physical changes.
20:13If Benjamin hadn't felt them either, did that mean he already knew our data was wrong?
20:18I shot a quick glance up at him, only to find his expression completely calm.
20:22He didn't look the least bit surprised.
20:26Actually, there's more to it than that.
20:28He said steadily.
20:30There's also an intense urge to possess the other person.
20:35Or to be possessed by them.
20:36The conversation slammed to a halt.
20:40Benjamin looked down, locking eyes with me.
20:43His friends started teasing him, shocked that he could say something so intense.
20:47They had no idea I was breaking out in a cold sweat from pure panic.
20:50Why was he looking at me like that?
20:52Had he realized the data was fake?
20:54What was going through his head right now?
20:56Was he planning to violently destroy the incompetent werebeast administration?
21:00I just hoped that if he did, he'd spare me.
21:03Before my anxiety could spiral any further, the banquet officially began.
21:12Benjamin's father, Matthias Tarrington, took the stage.
21:16I gathered everyone here today for a very important reason.
21:19Matthias said, his tone dead serious.
21:22My late wife died far too young.
21:25She had a son before we married.
21:27And when she passed, the boy was left orphaned.
21:31I brought him into our home to raise alongside Benjamin.
21:35Over the years, we've grown as close as father and son.
21:41Today, I'm officially welcoming him as a full member of the Tarristan family.
21:46The room went completely silent.
21:48Matthias' bold choices in his youth were still legendary in the werebeast community.
21:53Born into a wealthy, powerful alpha wolf bloodline,
21:56He had chosen to marry a human widow who already had a kid.
22:00Ignoring everyone's pushback, Matthias had brought her into his home.
22:04Now, he was formally adopting the child she'd had with her previous husband.
22:09People genuinely wondered if he'd lost his mind.
22:12The question was written on every face in the crowd.
22:16Only Benjamin looked unfazed, like he'd known about the decision all along.
22:21Does this bother you?
22:23I leaned in and whispered,
22:24Why would it?
22:25He's human, and he's about to be your older brother.
22:29My mom was human, and so are you.
22:32His blunt, honest answer caught me off guard.
22:35Just like he had years ago, Matthias completely ignored the crowd's silent judgment.
22:41Come on up, Emmanuel.
22:42He called out.
22:43Introduce yourself to everyone.
22:45Hearing that name hit me so hard, my mind just went blank for a second.
22:50The whole energy of the room suddenly shifted.
22:54I slowly looked up and saw him.
22:58At Emmanuel Lawton.
23:00My actual, 100% biological match.
23:06Emmanuel looked right at me from across the crowded room.
23:09When our eyes met, a sharp, sudden tension gripped my chest.
23:13I felt an overwhelming biological urge to mate with him right then and there.
23:18But the feeling only lasted a second.
23:21Because I was human.
23:23I wasn't some werebeast driven entirely by reproductive instinct.
23:27The upside of being human was having the self-control to override those intense physical urges.
23:32Emmanuel noticed my arm linked through Benjamin's, but his expression didn't so much as flicker.
23:37Just like me, he knew exactly how to mask his reactions.
23:39Matthias led Emmanuel around the room, introducing him to the guests, and before long, they made their way over to
23:45us.
23:45Emmanuel greeted Benjamin first.
23:47It's been three years. You look taller.
23:51Are you 190 centimeters now?
23:54Almost.
23:56189 centimeters.
23:58Benjamin replied.
23:59You spent the last three years totally buried in your academic research.
24:04Without coming home once.
24:08I'm here now, aren't I?
24:10Emmanuel shifted his gaze right to me.
24:14And who is this?
24:17This is Tabitha, my wife.
24:19Benjamin said.
24:21I invited you to the wedding.
24:23But you were too busy to make it.
24:26That's on me.
24:29I'll have a few extra drinks tonight to make up for it.
24:33All right.
24:34Since you offered, I'll make sure we drink plenty.
24:37Benjamin agreed.
24:40Tabitha won't mind, will she?
24:42Emmanuel watched me closely, the underlying implication heavy in his voice.
24:46I waved a hand, quickly brushing it off.
24:49Go ahead.
24:50You don't need to worry about me.
24:53As the night wore on and the drinks kept flowing, the alcohol seemed to amplify his natural scent,
24:58making me intensely, physically aware of him.
25:01I excused myself to the restroom so I could slip outside for some fresh air.
25:04Breathing in the cool night breathe finally helped clear my head.
25:07I sat quietly for a minute until I heard a voice behind me.
25:10Tabitha, can I call you that?
25:12It was Emmanuel.
25:13He kept a polite distance, standing about three meters away.
25:16I always wondered why my perfect match never reached out.
25:19Seeing you today, I finally get it.
25:21I offered an awkward smile.
25:23The Werebeast administration messed up my data.
25:25I honestly thought Benjamin was my 100% match.
25:28I get it.
25:28It wouldn't be the first time they've screwed up.
25:31Benjamin still doesn't know.
25:33Please don't tell him yet.
25:35He doesn't know?
25:37Emmanuel raised his eyebrows in surprise.
25:40I had to admit, if I were still in my original world, Emmanuel would be my exact type.
25:44Tall, lean, and handsome, with a sharp mind.
25:47He checked every single one of my boxes.
25:49The Werebeast administration is still struggling to figure out how to notify him.
25:53They're incredibly inefficient.
25:55You can totally tell they've never worked in a fast-paced corporate environment.
25:58I ran a tech startup back home.
26:00This kind of slack would have sunk us in a month.
26:04Seriously, if I were their boss, I'd put them on permanent crunch mode.
26:07They're so bad, they'd still miss every deadline, even pulling all nights.
26:12Wait a second.
26:13I shot to my feet.
26:14At the exact same moment, Emmanuel realized what we were saying and looked at me, his eyes wide.
26:19You're from another world, too?
26:21We blurted out in Eunice, instantly confirming that we were both trans-huggers.
26:25What is happening?
26:26Is this real?
26:27Am I dreaming?
26:28When did you get here?
26:30Five years ago.
26:32You?
26:33A little before that.
26:35I was born into this world.
26:37Dude, that's not a little before.
26:39That's way before.
26:40Emmanuel's shoulders dropped as he visibly let his guard down.
26:44You should have told me we were from the same place.
26:46How are you holding up here?
26:48I hate this Werebeast world.
26:50I just want to go home.
26:53You'll be able to soon.
26:54Wait, what?
26:56The whole reason I became a scientist was to find a way back home.
27:00I've made a ton of progress.
27:01If nothing goes wrong, we can go back really soon.
27:04Holy crap!
27:06Man, you're incredibly capable.
27:08Seriously, that's amazing.
27:11The science part is easy enough for me.
27:13Emmanuel flashed a popular internet hand gesture from back home, and a massive wave of familiarity
27:19washed over me.
27:20After all, before I ended up here, I was the youngest person to ever get published in a
27:26top-tealer academic journal.
27:27Wait, that was you?
27:31I think I read the articles about you!
27:33I remembered reading about a young, high-achieving prodigy.
27:37Whenever he was in the news, people mostly just focused on his ridiculously good looks.
27:44I'd even forwarded the article to my best friend, joking that he was exactly my type.
27:50Now, that same wildly successful guy from the news, was sitting right in front of me,
27:57hashing out our plan to go home.
28:00The more we talked, the more hyped we got.
28:06Neither of us even noticed someone walking up behind us.
28:10Tabby, so this is where you are.
28:13Benjamin stepped out from the shadows of the room.
28:16His earlier gentleness was completely gone, replaced by a freezing glare locked on Emmanuel.
28:23He stared him down with intense hostility, sizing him up like a threat.
28:29Emmanuel didn't flinch.
28:31Tabitha and I are both human.
28:32We just got talking and lost track of time.
28:35Dad is still waiting for you out front.
28:37You should go find him.
28:38Benjamin said.
28:39Right.
28:39Emmanuel smiled and walked past me, his shoulder brushing mine.
28:43By the way, Tabitha, you're welcome to drop by my lab anytime.
28:46The second he was gone, Benjamin threw an arm around my shoulder.
28:50His hand clamped down on the exact spot Emmanuel had just brushed,
28:54asserting his physical presence to overwrite the other guy's touch.
28:56What were you two talking about just now?
28:59You seem pretty happy.
29:02We were just talking about his work.
29:04This was the first time I'd ever felt terrifying were-beast aura radiating off Benjamin.
29:08Are you going to visit his lab?
29:10We'll see.
29:12I clenched my jaw, doing my best to play it cool.
29:16This was the first time I'd ever felt that terrifying were-beast aura radiating off Benjamin.
29:20He was obviously still in his human form,
29:23but his intense stare made me feel completely exposed and physically threatened.
29:27Like he wanted to claim absolute ownership over me.
29:30The possessiveness was suffocating.
29:33I knew it wasn't out of love though.
29:34It was just the territorial instinct of a male beast.
29:38I had to go to Emmanuel's lab.
29:40I wanted to see the machine that could take us back home.
29:43Today, I slipped out of the house the second Benjamin left for work.
29:47Emmanuel showed me his research data, and it gave me so much hope.
29:52The hours completely flew by in his lab.
29:55It wasn't until later that evening, when I checked my phone,
29:58that I realized I had dozens of missed calls and texts from Benjamin.
30:03Is Benjamin looking for you?
30:04Yeah.
30:05Didn't you say he wasn't really all that affectionate with you?
30:07Who knows what his deal is lately?
30:09I sighed.
30:10Maybe his possessive male instincts are just acting up.
30:12Emmanuel hit the lab lights, and we headed out together.
30:16Benjamin was waiting for us right at the bottom of the stairs.
30:18He must have been standing there a while.
30:20His eyes were noticeably red.
30:22The guards told me you were here, he said.
30:27I didn't believe them, but here you are.
30:31Sorry, I said.
30:32I haven't been checking my phone.
30:34Benjamin's gaze shifted to Emmanuel.
30:37He looked like he wanted to say something, but bit his tongue.
30:41Instead, he held his hand up to me.
30:45Are you done?
30:47Can we go home now?
30:50I walked over to him without a word.
30:53My mind still stuck on the experiment I just watched.
30:56Emmanuel chimed in.
30:58Too bad I can't take you home today, Tabitha.
31:01Come back tomorrow, and I'll show you something else interesting.
31:06Benjamin tensed instantly, yanking a tight breast his chest.
31:10She isn't coming back tomorrow.
31:13I wouldn't be so sure about that.
31:16Meeting Benjamin's death glare, Emmanuel just smirked.
31:22You know, Benjamin, you sent me an invitation to your house a while back.
31:30Why don't I come over today?
31:33Now isn't a good time.
31:36That's a shame.
31:37I really wanted to see where Tabitha and you live.
31:43Don't you have your own house?
31:45Benjamin snapped.
31:46Why do you need to see ours?
31:48Actually, I don't.
31:50Did you forget?
31:52My parents are dead.
31:54Emmanuel shot me a wink, faking a hurt expression.
31:56I didn't expect him to bring up such a painful subject.
31:59Tabby, does he always treat you this poorly?
32:04Don't call her Tabby.
32:06The air between them grew incredibly tense.
32:10Benjamin's pupils narrowed into vertical slits, and his fangs extended.
32:15Relax, I was just joking.
32:18Emmanuel said,
32:20You're so protective of your wife, Benjamin.
32:26What would you do if someone took her away from you?
32:31That will never happen.
32:34I love Tabby very much.
32:37And she loves me.
32:40Benjamin hesitated.
32:42He couldn't quite bring himself to say she loved him very much.
32:45Emmanuel smiled.
32:46I envy you guys.
32:48But, you know, the Werebeast administration reached out recently.
32:53Turns out, I've got a perfect match, too.
32:56He stared dead at me the whole time he spoke.
32:59It was a blatant provocation.
33:01Benjamin shifted his massive frame to physically block Emmanuel's line of sight to me.
33:07I have no problem killing you right here, Emmanuel.
33:12Things were spiraling fast.
33:15Snapping back to reality, I tugged on Benjamin's sleeve.
33:20Let's go home.
33:22I finally managed to drag him out of there.
33:25Once we were sealed inside the car, Benjamin broke the silence.
33:31Tabby, you shouldn't have been meeting him behind my back.
33:34Why not?
33:35You're my wife, and you just spent the whole day alone in a locked room with another male?
33:40His heavy breathing filled the quiet car.
33:42I could practically feel the heat of his anger.
33:45He was highly distressed, clearly fighting off whatever he was picturing had happened in the lab.
33:50But we're getting a divorce anyway, aren't we?
33:52I said, pointing out the obvious.
33:53We agreed to hash it out after the family dinner.
33:57Is that really what you want?
33:59A divorce?
34:01He demanded.
34:02Because of him?
34:03Not because of him.
34:05I have my own reasons.
34:06At first, I'd wanted a divorce because our matching scores were wrong.
34:10But now, I just wanted to go back to my own place.
34:12Since he didn't really care about me, I figured I'd give him his freedom back before I left.
34:16Benjamin didn't say another word.
34:18I assumed he was already mentally drafting how we were going to announce the split.
34:22But the second we walked through our front door, he grabbed me and hauled me straight into the bathroom.
34:27What are you doing?
34:28I asked.
34:29You're taking a shower.
34:30You smell like another male, and you need to scrub it off.
34:34We're throwing these clothes in the trash.
34:36I can wash myself.
34:38No.
34:39I don't trust you to do it right.
34:45Benjamin stubbornly scrubbed every part of my body, completely ignoring how the shower was soaking straight through his own shirt.
34:52His behavior was erratic, and his pupils had narrowed right back into those vertical slits.
34:57It seemed his jealousy had triggered his mating cycle prematurely.
35:01When we finally got out of the shower, he grabbed me a change of clothes.
35:06I recognized the outfit instantly.
35:08It was the exact one I'd planned to wear to seduce him.
35:11The day we found out about the error in our compatibility test, Benjamin didn't give me a chance to argue.
35:17He just dressed me in it himself.
35:18I hadn't realized how terrifyingly intense a wear-beast could be when their heat hit early.
35:24The outfit barely had any fabric to begin with, and after he tore it off me during sex, it was
35:31nothing but scraps.
35:33Thinking we were finally done, I nudged him away.
35:37Go get changed.
35:39You're dripping wet, and it's uncomfortable.
35:44Benjamin left to change, but came back in his fully-buttoned military uniform, right down to the leather thigh straps
35:51for his holster.
35:52Completely dressed and totally expressionless, he pulled me back into bed, and kept going until I was completely exhausted.
36:01You're hiding something from me.
36:03He murmured.
36:04He was crying.
36:05Tears dripped onto my skin, and for the first time, I realized a wolf's tears could be searingly hot.
36:11You looked so happy talking to him.
36:17Are you going to be with him after we divorce?
36:22And even if it isn't him, there'll be other guys, won't there?
36:25Let's just stay married.
36:30Please.
36:33The night only ended when I finally passed out from pure exhaustion.
36:37When I woke up the next morning, Benjamin was still there.
36:42He seemed a lot calmer than the night before.
36:45He dropped to one knee, helping me pull on my socks while I rubbed my aching lower back.
36:50The silence between us was awkward, especially since I genuinely enjoyed the sex, too.
36:57I was just about to say something.
37:00When his phone rang, it was his adjutant.
37:03General Tarrington, we have a situation.
37:05Keep it under control.
37:06I'm on my way back.
37:08No, sir.
37:09It's not the military.
37:11It's your compelitability results.
37:17Benjamin left for the were-beast administration.
37:19Hours passed.
37:20I waited at home, my mind racing.
37:22When he finally walked back through the door, he was holding to pages.
37:26His grip was white-knuckled on the paper.
37:28He sat down across from me and told me everything.
37:32The entire administration building had been cleared out.
37:35The staff stood in a neat row, dead silent and terrified.
37:39Twenty minutes before he arrived, they'd fully restored his data.
37:43Since they couldn't reach him directly, some new intern had forwarded the report straight to his adjutant.
37:49The massive screw-up was now completely exposed.
37:52I was still a 100% match for him, but he was only an 80% match for me.
37:57At the exact same time, he saw my file, which clearly listed my perfect match.
38:02Emmanuel Lawton, Adriel Gorney, the elderly bureau director, sat trembling in his wheelchair.
38:07General Tarrington, I take full responsibility for this mistake.
38:13I'll pull my oxygen tube right now to apologize.
38:17Benjamin just stared at him blankly.
38:19Leave your oxygen alone.
38:21I only have one question.
38:24Ask away, sir.
38:26Where exactly am I losing that 20%?
38:30Everyone expected him to start yelling.
38:33No one saw a question like that coming.
38:35Adriel hesitated, looking incredibly uncomfortable.
38:39Do I really have to say it?
38:41It involves highly personal details.
38:44Tell me.
38:46According to our comprehensive analysis,
38:52your physical conditioning is simply too extreme for Mrs. Penrith.
38:57Benjamin frowned.
38:58What does that mean?
39:00It means that if you completely let go during sex,
39:04she physically cannot handle your size or your stamina.
39:08You've been married for two years, haven't you noticed?
39:12Benjamin fell silent.
39:14Last night, completely consumed by jealousy,
39:17he'd lost his restraint in bed for the very first time.
39:21The night had ended with my eyes slipping shut.
39:23He assumed I'd just passed out from exhaustion,
39:26but the truth was, I'd completely blacked out.
39:29What else?
39:31He'd asked.
39:32That pretty much covers it.
39:34It falls short on just this one metric,
39:37which is why the system put the match at 80%.
39:40Benjamin had tossed Emmanuel's file back onto the desk.
39:43So how does he score a perfect 100%?
39:45Aside from that one missing detail.
39:47Adriel stared at the paperwork for a long time,
39:50furrowing his brow.
39:50I've never seen a result like this.
39:53It looks like he and Ms. Penrick
39:55share a remarkably similar genetic sequence.
39:58They come from the exact same biological group,
40:01which is why they trigger a complete match.
40:03Are they related?
40:05No, no, you're misreading the data.
40:06They just share the same geographic origin.
40:09Benjamin told me he'd turn to look at me then.
40:12My mind had raced, trying to come up with a lie,
40:15just in case he asked if Emmanuel and I shared a homeland.
40:18But he didn't ask.
40:20He just lowered his gaze.
40:22Looking like he had already figured out the truth I was hiding.
40:27When we got home,
40:29Benjamin sat out on the balcony in gloomy silence.
40:32Is this why you brought up getting a divorce?
40:34He asked.
40:35Because you found a human with a higher compatibility score?
40:38I walked over,
40:39trying to cut the tension with a casual tone.
40:4280% is still incredibly high.
40:44Please, don't be upset, okay?
40:46I'm sorry.
40:47What are you apologizing for now?
40:49I hurt you last night, didn't I?
40:51Were you in pain?
40:54You were a little rough, but I was fine.
40:57I actually find it attractive when you get aggressive.
41:01I'll be much more careful next time.
41:05If you still want a future with me.
41:08He paused.
41:09Before I could say anything, he kept going.
41:12I couldn't resist leaning in.
41:14If you don't want to stay, I get it.
41:16You're free to leave.
41:18Twitching a little against my lips.
41:20It'll be incredibly hard for me,
41:22but I'll rein in my natural instincts.
41:24Standing straight up and swaying back and forth.
41:26He pressed his face into my chest.
41:28His voice muffled.
41:29Those incompetent idiots at the Werebeast administration
41:32don't know the first thing about genetics.
41:35Our compatibility is exactly 100%.
41:39I know it for a fact.
41:41The very first time I saw you,
41:43my heart rate spiked and my body temperature shot up.
41:47Long before any test data even existed,
41:50my body and mind recognized you.
41:54Many words hovered on the tip of my tongue,
41:57but I could not bring myself to say them.
42:00I asked,
42:01Since you have these reactions to me,
42:03why do you always act so indifferent?
42:07Sorry, Tabby.
42:08Actually,
42:09there is a reason for all this.
42:12Let me take you somewhere.
42:14Maybe then you'll understand.
42:18Benjamin brought me to a cemetery.
42:20His mother was buried here.
42:22The lady in the photograph wore a gentle smile,
42:25and Benjamin's eyes resembled hers.
42:28After my mother's first husband passed away,
42:31she wandered the streets with my older brother
42:33until she met my father.
42:35Benjamin spoke in a low, steady voice.
42:37At that time,
42:38my father had already been promoted
42:40to a senior position in the Werebeast Treasury Department.
42:44He was a hopeless romantic,
42:46and despite everyone's objections,
42:49he gave my mother the most lavish affection.
42:51I have never seen a couple so deeply in love.
42:55Even when the test results later showed
42:58they were only 80% compatible.
43:00To me,
43:02it was 100%.
43:04But my mother was a human,
43:06a fragile human.
43:08Six years after they married,
43:09my father was promoted to the top position,
43:11but his political enemies bore a grudge.
43:14Unable to kill my father,
43:15they killed his weakness,
43:17which was my mother.
43:18I opened my mouth,
43:20but not a single word came out.
43:22It was unimaginable.
43:24For someone as devoted as Benjamin's father,
43:26the despair and grief after losing his beloved
43:29must have been overwhelming.
43:31Benjamin bent down and placed the flowers
43:33he had brought in front of the tombstone.
43:35There were many, many flowers there,
43:37some fresh and vibrant,
43:39others already withered.
43:41It was clear that people often came to visit this lady.
43:45My father was ready to die for love at that time.
43:50But when he turned around and saw Emmanuel and me
43:52looking at him with pleating eyes,
43:54he couldn't bear it
43:56and chose to live on.
43:58Benjamin turned to gaze at me.
44:00After my compatibility results came out,
44:02I secretly vowed
44:04that I would never let my mother's tragedy happen to you.
44:07I ponder.
44:08So?
44:11You don't let me go to headquarters
44:13and you rarely travel with me?
44:16Yes.
44:18My work is even more dangerous than my father's.
44:22Only by doing this can I protect you.
44:26Then why did you block the Werebeast administration?
44:29I didn't block them, just deleted them.
44:32We've all found our matches,
44:33so there's no need to keep them.
44:35I never intended to remarry.
44:38But after you came home,
44:40you still seemed a bit distant with me.
44:42You forgot Werebeats have extremely sensitive senses of smell.
44:46Benjamin slowly rolled up his sleeve.
44:49If I completely let myself go and fully merge with you,
44:52then your scent would cover me inside and out.
44:58That would be like handing your information straight to my enemies.
45:02This is the only way I can restrain myself.
45:06His arm was covered with many wounds,
45:09shocking to behold.
45:11Without my knowledge,
45:13Benjamin had forced himself to stay away from me by self-harming.
45:17Seeing those wounds made my heart ache.
45:20Benjamin apologized to me.
45:22I'm sorry.
45:23Why are you apologizing?
45:26Because my actions made you misunderstand.
45:29I'm truly sorry.
45:32Don't be.
45:34Actually, I was at fault.
45:36That 80% was really hard to talk about.
45:38I thought about raising a dog.
45:40Actually, the puppy only had eyes for me,
45:43but I had other dogs outside.
45:45I couldn't help but hug him tightly.
45:48Benjamin lowered his head and kissed me.
45:50In that moment,
45:52I didn't want to think about anything.
45:54No compatibility scores.
45:56No choices between two.
45:59I only knew that we were husband and wife.
46:02He was both my morality and my instinct.
46:08Emmanuel's speed was even faster than I had expected.
46:11A week later,
46:12he told me I could go home.
46:14The news came so suddenly that I felt a bit lost.
46:17Looking at the wedding photo on the bedside table,
46:19I was surprised to feel a trace of reluctance.
46:22But when I thought of my parents and friends,
46:25I steeled myself and replied to Emmanuel.
46:29I'll pack up and meet you at the lab.
46:32In fact, there was not much for me to pack.
46:35But I needed to leave a letter for Benjamin,
46:38explaining everything clearly.
46:40It took me half an hour to write the letter.
46:43During that time,
46:45Emmanuel did not reply to my messages,
46:47but I did not pay much attention.
46:49Once the letter was finished,
46:50I put on the outfit I had worn when I first arrived,
46:53and left the house feeling light.
46:58But halfway there,
46:59I received another phone call.
47:01It was Benjamin's adjutant.
47:03Madam, you can answer the phone.
47:04Where are you now?
47:05Me?
47:05I'm at the Central Mall.
47:06What's wrong?
47:07You're all right?
47:08What could possibly be wrong with me?
47:10Oh no.
47:10If you're fine,
47:11then General Tarleton is in danger.
47:13What happened?
47:13Just now,
47:14General Tarleton received a video
47:16and thought you had been kidnapped.
47:18He went to the agreed location.
47:19If you're not in trouble,
47:21then someone must have deliberately set him up.
47:23Damn,
47:24why didn't he call me first to confirm?
47:26I don't know.
47:27The communication at home was blocked just now.
47:29Calls couldn't get through
47:30and texts wouldn't send.
47:32There was no time to go home and check,
47:33so General Tarleton had to go rescue you first.
47:36I called you countless times
47:37and only this one finally connected.
47:39I glanced at my phone.
47:41Sure enough,
47:42Emmanuel's replies were now coming in like snowflakes.
47:45Do you remember the lab address code?
47:46Here,
47:47I'm almost there.
47:48I'll come down to meet you.
47:49Why did you stop replying?
47:50The call won't go through.
47:52What's going on?
47:53You didn't run into any danger,
47:54did you?
47:55I'll ask Benjamin.
47:56The adjutant hurried to hang up,
47:58needing to send a team to help Benjamin.
47:59I had never realized that the real choice was right here.
48:02One step forward would be the road home.
48:04But behind me was Benjamin.
48:06His safety was uncertain.
48:07It was just like when I first accepted this match.
48:10It took me only a second to make my decision.
48:13Give me Benjamin's address.
48:17When I rushed to the abandoned factory,
48:19memories of the little dog I had raised as a child resurfaced in my mind.
48:23People always favored their first dog,
48:26even though I knew that other breeds might be prettier and more pleasing to me.
48:30But I simply could not forget it,
48:32because it had given me my first sense of companionship and warmth.
48:36Benjamin was the same.
48:37He was the first person who had looked at me with those wet,
48:40earnest eyes.
48:42How could I bear to let those eyes be clouded because of me?
48:45The factory had long since been abandoned.
48:47I had no idea where Benjamin was at that moment.
48:50I activated all my senses, silently praying in my heart.
48:55That 80% compatibility please guide me.
48:59Suddenly, it felt as if all my cells opened up.
49:02I seem to have acquired the same sense of smell as a werebeast,
49:06swiftly catching every trace of scent in the air.
49:08I found it.
49:09My running speed increased,
49:11my movements became agile,
49:13and I evaded the patrols of the rebel forces.
49:16Locating the already injured Benjamin in the warehouse with precision,
49:20he had managed to contend with the rebel forces single-handedly.
49:24Though he was wounded,
49:25he had fortunately escaped unharmed.
49:29Tabby?
49:30You're alright?
49:31Thank goodness.
49:32Benjamin immediately pulled me into his arms,
49:35letting out a sigh of relief.
49:39Since you're safe,
49:40you should have stayed home.
49:43You shouldn't have come.
49:44If I hadn't come,
49:46would you have kept risking everything to search for me?
49:49Benjamin pressed his lips together,
49:51not denying it.
49:52It seems I made the right choice coming here.
49:54The adjutant's messages could not be synchronized here.
49:57Since the rebel forces had the means to interfere with the signals at home,
50:01they naturally had the means to interfere here as well.
50:04People outside were searching for him.
50:07They checked each room one by one.
50:10And soon they would reach this room.
50:12Just then,
50:13an explosion sounded outside.
50:16One by one,
50:18old-fashioned robots marched out from the darkness,
50:21then detonated themselves in succession.
50:24The sudden chaos threw the rebel forces into disarray,
50:28forcing them to halt their search.
50:31I saw,
50:32in the darkness,
50:33the figure controlling the robots.
50:36It was Emmanuel.
50:38Benjamin said.
50:40Reinforcements have arrived.
50:42Emmanuel is your reinforcement?
50:45This is the factory where our mother worked before she passed away,
50:49specializing in robot production.
50:52Emmanuel grew up here as a child,
50:54and he knows better than anyone how to operate these robots.
50:58He's responsible for detonating them,
51:00distracting the rebel forces.
51:02When did you plan all this?
51:04There was no plan.
51:06Benjamin shook his head.
51:07I only told him that both you and I were trapped here,
51:10and the signal had been cut off.
51:12Emmanuel is very smart.
51:13He knows what to do.
51:16As they spoke,
51:18Emmanuel had already run beneath the window
51:21and opened a portable cloud soft bed.
51:24Go.
51:24Suddenly,
51:25Benjamin released me.
51:26Go find Emmanuel.
51:28Let him take you home.
51:30Right now,
51:31immediately.
51:32I was stunned.
51:33How did you know?
51:34If I couldn't even guess this,
51:37how could I be Grand Commander of the Three Armies?
51:41Benjamin revealed his unique confidence.
51:43I hurriedly grabbed him.
51:45Then come with me!
51:48I still have duties to fulfill.
51:50This country,
51:51its people,
51:53still need me.
51:54Benjamin reached out and gently stroked my cheek,
51:57gazing at me with reluctance,
51:59as if he wanted to remember my face forever.
52:02I'm very happy you came to find me today.
52:04But,
52:05be good.
52:06Your safety is more important than anything else.
52:09Benjamin extended his hand and pushed me toward Emmanuel.
52:13The flames blazed fiercely.
52:16That was the last time I saw Benjamin.
52:21It had been a month since I returned to my own world.
52:24I often sat on the balcony,
52:26lost in thought,
52:27just as Benjamin used to do.
52:29Emmanuel walked over and leaned against the doorframe.
52:32Are you still worried about him?
52:34Hmm.
52:36When we left,
52:37reinforcements arrived just in time.
52:40You should trust Benjamin.
52:42He didn't get that position because of family connections.
52:44He fought his way there with his own strength.
52:47I know, but...
52:49How could I not worry?
52:50He went against his own instincts to send me to Emmanuel.
52:53So I would go against my own instincts as well.
52:56I favored him unconditionally.
52:58Emmanuel lowered his gaze and smiled helplessly.
53:00Tomorrow we're having dinner with your parents.
53:03Don't let them think I've starved their precious pregnant daughter.
53:06I turned to look at him.
53:08Emmanuel, are you angry with me?
53:10Why do you ask?
53:11I touched my belly.
53:12I married you so this child could be born legitimately.
53:17When I think about it,
53:19it's not fair to you.
53:21It really isn't fair.
53:23Someone as talented as me,
53:25and you use me for this?
53:26Emmanuel spoke with a smile.
53:27But who told me to be 100% for you?
53:31I'm willing.
53:31Besides, it saved both of you.
53:37Emmanuel's gaze shifted to my belly, becoming gentle.
53:39This was Benjamin's child.
53:41During our last time together, we hadn't taken precautions.
53:44On the day I found out I was pregnant, I finally understood why.
53:47On the day I rescued Benjamin, I suddenly gained the senses and abilities of a were-beast.
53:51It was because of the child.
53:52It had been doing everything it could to help me.
53:54To ensure the child would be accepted by my family, I thought of many ways.
53:58In the end, it was Emmanuel who took the initiative to become the child's nominal father.
54:03Emmanuel was young and accomplished, and my parents liked him very much.
54:06He truly took good care of me.
54:08He divided his time between scientific research and learning about prenatal education.
54:12Life passed peacefully like this.
54:14The baby was well-behaved.
54:16I had no pregnancy symptoms, and my body became even stronger.
54:19I supposed Benjamin's excellent physical condition had influenced both the child and me.
54:25When I was seven months pregnant, I even went hiking with my friends.
54:29But because I walked too fast, I accidentally got separated from everyone.
54:34The mountain was quiet, with only the rustling sounds in my ears.
54:38A huge python slithered out from the grass.
54:41I was startled, my mind almost blank.
54:44What should I do?
54:45Should I run now, or take a chance and fight it?
54:47A cold sweat trickled down my forehead.
54:50But at that very moment, the python seemed to see something.
54:53Its body shrank back, eyes filled with terror, and it turned to flee to its lair.
54:58It brought a familiar scent.
55:00Suddenly, my blood boiled uncontrollably, and my heartbeat thundered.
55:05I slowly turned around.
55:07Benjamin stood behind me, wearing his uniform, arms open wide.
55:11I'm sorry, I was late.
55:15I often felt sorry for my baby.
55:17Until he was one year old, he had hardly had a peaceful day.
55:21There were always quarrels at home, Emmanuel said.
55:25Listen to me!
55:26I'm the child's nominal father!
55:28Benjamin replied.
55:29Look at the child's ears.
55:31Tail and pupils.
55:33And say that again?
55:34If I hadn't left that equipment for you, you wouldn't have had a chance to see Tabby again.
55:39Who said you could call her Tabby?
55:42Homewrecker!
55:44I have a marriage certificate with her.
55:46You're the homewrecker.
55:49Who doesn't?
55:50My certificate is dated earlier than yours.
55:52Why haven't you left yet?
55:54Is it peaceful over there?
55:56Is the army fine?
55:57Yes, it was suppressed with iron and blood.
56:00No need for your concern.
56:03But Matthias misses you very much.
56:05When will you go back to see him?
56:08Next week, after I'm done with my experiments,
56:12I'll bring a bottle of Pappy Van Winten for him to try.
56:16The baby suddenly whimpered twice.
56:19Benjamin immediately reached out.
56:21Daddy's here!
56:22Emmanuel also turned his head.
56:23Daddy's here!
56:24The two glared at each other, seemingly ready to fight over the title again.
56:28I quietly held the child and stayed away from the battlefield.
56:33Ah, the sunlight was so lovely.
56:35When did it happen again?€
56:35eat already.
56:35Isn't everything? Toy
56:36How dare you? Verb
56:37go away? You're supposed to move away
56:37from theибolowity. 1930 Jonesджiek, VaPP,
