Short filmTranscript
00:00I was an alpha wolf and a hitman.
00:03After a one-night stand with the Lycan king, I wound up pregnant.
00:08Given my line of work, I had no other option but to leave the pup on his doorstep and run.
00:15Three years later, our paths crossed again, and he stopped me before I could bolt.
00:21Come home with me and meet our baby boy.
00:23I was an alpha wolf, a killer, a lone king king, tall, broad-shouldered, with eyes like molten silver, and
00:33a jaw sharp enough to cut glass.
00:35That night, even drugged and half-conscious, his wolf radiated power that made my own alpha instincts want to submit.
00:42It told myself it was just the drugs.
00:45Half a month later, I found out I was pregnant.
00:49My wolf howled inside my chest not with joy, but with sheer, primal panic.
00:54A lone wolf didn't raise pups.
00:56A hitman didn't bring a child into this world.
01:00I muttered under my breath,
01:03Fuck.
01:04My wolf ears pinned flat against my skull.
01:07My tail bristled between my legs.
01:10How the hell was a drifter like me supposed to raise a child?
01:14After giving birth, I hardened my heart and left the newborn on Marcus' doorstep.
01:19I ignored his heartbreaking cries and fled without a glance back.
01:25Three years later, the organization I worked for got taken down, and I ended up scraping by as a beast
01:31fighter in the arena.
01:32One day, I spotted Marcus sitting in the VIP section.
01:37He didn't recognize me.
01:39He was just there to watch the fights.
01:42The little boy in his arms was glued to the arena.
01:45My face darkened.
01:48Is this Lycan king totally clueless about being a father?
01:54Who brings a two-year-old to a place like this?
01:57Has he lost his mind?
01:59My heart sank with regret.
02:01I should have known better than to leave the kid with him.
02:04A man that brutal in bed was hardly father material.
02:08I cursed him in my head while dodging the centaur's charge.
02:11The beast thundered past, hoofs sparking against the blood-soaked sand.
02:16I spun low, swept my leg under his forelegs.
02:19He crashed onto his side.
02:22Before he could rise, I vaulted onto his human back, wrapped my arm around his throat, and squeezed until his
02:28eyes rolled white.
02:30The crowd roared.
02:31Sand and sweat stung my eyes.
02:34I won that fight without even shifting.
02:37I won that fight effortlessly.
02:41As I headed toward the private locker room with a towel slung over my shoulder, I suddenly felt a pair
02:46of eyes lock onto me.
02:48It was Marcus.
02:50He stared down at me, his gaze dark and unreadable.
02:53For a second, I almost thought he might have come looking for me.
02:57But soon, his icy gaze shifted back to the sand.
03:01That night three years ago, Marcus had been drugged.
03:04The lights were off.
03:06Halfway through, I had slipped him extra sleeping pills.
03:10He should have woken up after me.
03:13I told myself there was nothing to worry about and strolled casually into the bathroom.
03:18Stripping off my sweat-soaked clothes, I turned on the shower.
03:24The water was running full blast, but I still heard heavy footsteps outside slow, steady, heading straight for the bathroom.
03:34The guy stopped right outside the door.
03:37Not knocking or doing a thing.
03:39From the sound of it, he was half a head taller than me, not bad on his feet.
03:45Those measured, deliberate footsteps were clearly meant for me to hear.
03:50I blinked.
03:51Could it be?
03:53I rinsed off fast and stepped out.
03:57Marcus was leaning against the doorframe, bored out of his mind.
04:02Hearing me, he slowly looked up.
04:05His eyes were calm and deep, his voice flat.
04:09Have we met before?
04:10My blood ran cold, but I played it cool.
04:14Stop kidding, your majesty.
04:16How would someone like me ever meet a big shot like you?
04:21He didn't reply.
04:25After a long silence, he suddenly leaned in close to my neck.
04:29I instinctively stepped back, clutching my gland, every nerve on high alert.
04:36What's wrong?
04:38I asked.
04:38Marcus straightened up, a cryptic laugh escaping him.
04:44Your pheromone smells familiar.
04:47At times like this, I'm truly grateful.
04:50The pheromone my hitman parents left me is bland enough.
04:55Chamomile, you can smell that anywhere.
04:58Nothing special.
05:00Really?
05:01He gave a meaningful smile.
05:03My mistake then.
05:05See you tomorrow.
05:07Then he turned and walked away without hesitation.
05:11I wiped the cold sweat off my forehead, slumped against the wall.
05:16Like hell I was seeing him tomorrow.
05:19I quit that very day and moved out, getting as far away as I could.
05:26But two days later, I ran into that pain in the ass again.
05:32I was covering a shift for my sick friend at the bar.
05:38Then an omega went into heat.
05:41Then an omega went into heat.
05:41I had to escort the omega out.
05:43And help him inject suppressants.
05:47That chaos finally ended.
05:50I slipped into the bathroom, took care of my own problem.
05:54I was too broke to afford suppressants, so I had to handle it myself.
05:59The out of order sign was already up.
06:02So I stopped hiding my pheromone and let it unfurl, filling the bathroom with my chamomile scent.
06:09I was sitting on the toilet, mind starting to drift, when someone knocked on the door.
06:17A guy's deep voice came through.
06:21Get out!
06:24I frowned.
06:25I hadn't killed anyone since I quit the hitman life.
06:28And my temper had gotten way better.
06:31But right then, I was this close.
06:34I cursed under my breath.
06:35That bastard out there better have a damn good reason, or he'll get one.
06:40The second my hand hit the doorknob, I caught a whiff of something way too familiar.
06:45The rich, heady scent of blackrant took over the whole room, shoving my own pheromone into some little corner.
06:53That glass, that scent.
06:55I had only ever smelled it on one guy before.
06:57My hand froze mid-move.
07:00My throat tightening.
07:04Fuck.
07:04Just my luck.
07:08I scratched my head, annoyed, pulled a scar from my pocket, and tied it around my face.
07:15I checked my reflection on my phone to make sure no one could tell it was me.
07:21Then I slowly opened the door.
07:24Outside, Marcus stood there with his arms crossed, looking relaxed.
07:29Seeing me sneaking out like some guilty thief, he got straight to it.
07:34Why did you quit the arena?
07:37My fingers curled slightly.
07:39I lowered my voice and played dumb.
07:42Sir?
07:44What are you talking about?
07:45His eyes narrowed.
07:47A mocking grin on his face as he reached for my face.
07:50I blocked it swiftly, still spinning lies.
07:54Sir?
07:55I'm having an allergic reaction.
07:59My face is all swollen.
08:02Too embarrassing to show anyone.
08:04He pulled his hand back, smiling.
08:08Nice block.
08:10Very professional.
08:12Of course it was.
08:13Basically automatic.
08:15But I wouldn't admit it.
08:16I laughed it off.
08:18I picked up a few basics.
08:23Marcus switched it up.
08:25Someone used that same block on me three years back.
08:30He didn't win though.
08:32A jolt shot through me.
08:33And I froze.
08:34Holding my breath.
08:36Did he recognize me?
08:38Before I knew it, the scarf was ripped off my face.
08:42Marcus twirled it lazily in his fingers.
08:45Smirking.
08:46Jeffrey.
08:48You forgot?
08:50I tied this scarf around your neck to stop the bleeding back then.
08:53My eyes widened.
08:55And I tried to run.
08:56But Marcus was quicker.
08:58His hand locked around the back of my neck.
09:00Slamming me back against the door.
09:02I fought like crazy.
09:04But he didn't move an inch.
09:06How embarrassing.
09:07I couldn't beat him three years ago.
09:09And I still couldn't now.
09:11It pissed me off.
09:13He never even liked me.
09:15Otherwise, why hadn't he come looking for me once in three years?
09:19With his resources, he should have tracked me down in three days.
09:24So what was this now?
09:26Chasing me down.
09:27Cornering me.
09:28What was he playing at?
09:30I dropped the act and snarled.
09:33What do you want?
09:36Marcus let go.
09:38Fred has been whining for you.
09:41Come back to calm him down.
09:43I frowned.
09:44Keeping my voice low.
09:46Just get someone else.
09:48He's too young to remember anyway.
09:50Marcus' face darkened.
09:52You don't feel a thing for him?
09:55He's your own son.
09:57Honestly, I didn't.
10:00Blood ties never meant a thing to me.
10:02When I was 13, my hitman parents sold me out of the pack to pay their blood debt.
10:08So when they were waiting for me to save them, I scented the wind, read the hunt, sniffed
10:16what little they were worth to me, and turned tail, not worth the blood price.
10:23That was why when the organization got taken down three years ago, I was the only lone wolf
10:29still standing.
10:30Being cold-blooded kept me alive.
10:33That was what my parents taught me.
10:38Marcus couldn't tell what I was thinking.
10:40He saw me go quiet, and his eyes went hard for a split second.
10:44He didn't bother talking.
10:47He undid his tie, tied my hands with it, and hoisted me over his shoulder.
10:53I snapped.
10:54You fucking crazy!
10:56Just pay someone else to play mom!
10:58The boy is two, and he doesn't know anything!
11:00What?
11:01You think he's some kind of genius?
11:03He got fed up with my noise, so he yanked out the scarf and shoved it in to shut me
11:08up.
11:12All that rage sat heavy in my chest.
11:16Back home, Marcus tossed me onto the couch.
11:19I heard the pitter-patter of slippers from upstairs.
11:22A minute later, a chubby little boy came running over, a little bow and arrow in his hands.
11:28He pulled the scarf out of my mouth, stared at me for a while, then said,
11:34It's him!
11:35I was baffled.
11:37How did you know it was me?
11:40He pressed his lips into a thin line, utterly serious.
11:47You look like the type to dump your kid on someone.
11:51I heard Marcus snickering over there.
11:53My face burned with embarrassment, and I quickly looked away.
11:58Then something occurred to me, and I turned back, puzzled.
12:04Why aren't you asking why I left you back then?
12:06Alfred Livingston thought about it.
12:09You couldn't feed me, I guess.
12:12You look pretty broke.
12:14I laughed in exasperation.
12:16He really knew how to hit where it hurt.
12:19He definitely got that sharp tongue from that bastard.
12:22Marcus.
12:26Put down your little bow and arrow.
12:29All you do is talk in memes.
12:31I rolled over, annoyed.
12:33This little brat didn't even seem like he missed me.
12:36If Marcus was telling the truth, he should be happy to see me, at least reaching up for a hug
12:41or something.
12:45I poked his chubby cheek.
12:48Hey, your dad said you were whining for your mom.
12:51Is that true?
12:55He looked at me and shook his head.
12:58No.
13:00I knew it.
13:02I glared at Marcus, pissed.
13:05But he didn't look embarrassed at all.
13:07Instead, he turned it around and made me the bad guy.
13:11I never thought you'd be this reluctant to see your own son.
13:16How cold and unfeeling.
13:18I looked back at Alfred.
13:20He looked pretty sad.
13:23Feeling bad, I rubbed his head to make him feel better.
13:26But I was rusty at this parenting thing, and I ended up messing up his hair.
13:30He forgot about being sad.
13:32He clutched his head, face all scrunched up, and ran upstairs.
13:39I felt a twinge of guilt.
13:41Hey, buddy, are you mad?
13:45Marcus slowly poured me some water.
13:48He styled his hair when he heard you were coming, and then you went and messed it up.
13:53Yeah, he's mad.
13:54My lashes fluttered.
13:56For once, I didn't snap back.
13:59I said calmly.
14:01Alright.
14:02Spill it.
14:03What's going on?
14:05That whole act was clearly to get Alfred out of the room.
14:09Marcus wanted to talk to me alone.
14:11And I really wanted to know why he went through all this trouble to drag me back here.
14:17He grabbed some files from the bookshelf and tossed them my way.
14:23Fred is sick.
14:26The doctor said it was from prolonged nutrient deficiency in the womb.
14:34His glands are underdeveloped.
14:38He needs cord blood from a full sibling to make some pheromone induction drugs.
14:49My face dropped.
14:50I was pissed.
14:52Why didn't you say so from the start?
14:54He sat on something this critical.
14:56Marcus shot me a pointed look.
15:03I didn't know if you'd go for it, so I wanted to see how you felt about Fred.
15:08Good thing you don't hate him.
15:09Otherwise, even if I had to force it, I'd make sure you carried the baby to term.
15:14I sighed.
15:16I wasn't exactly the sentimental type, but I put Alfred in this mess.
15:21The least I could do was get him fixed up.
15:25I jerked my chin at Marcus.
15:29What do you need from me?
15:30He looked me dead in the eye.
15:33You know, Alpha's gestational spegs sit deep and are mostly atrifriated, right?
15:41Yeah.
15:43Current IVF tech can't get them pregnant, so...
15:46Why beat around the bush?
15:51I cut straight to it.
15:54So we gotta fuck till I'm pregnant.
15:56That's it.
15:56Marcus pressed his lips together.
15:59Something playful creeping into his eyes.
16:01Yes.
16:02I raised an eyebrow without hesitation.
16:06Alright.
16:07Then something clicked, and I wavered.
16:11If I get pregnant, I can't work.
16:14Will you cover my lost wages?
16:15Marcus nodded like it was obvious.
16:19Fair enough.
16:21Give your bank info to my beta.
16:24He'll transfer you money every month.
16:26Anything else?
16:27I shook my head.
16:29No.
16:31He gestured, and the beta came over.
16:34Marcus pointed at me, his voice flat.
16:37Take him to bathe.
16:40I cleared my throat.
16:42Cheeks burning.
16:44Already?
16:45Don't we need to get lunch first?
16:47And don't we need prep?
16:49I'm an alpha, so I'm tough.
16:52But it still hurts.
16:53Memories of the first time flooded back.
16:56It was an absolute nightmare.
16:57Marcus was drugged out of his mind.
16:59Running on pure instinct fast.
17:02Brutal.
17:02Like I was his enemy.
17:05I nearly died right there in his bed.
17:08Even as a hitman, I had never gotten hurt down there.
17:14The pain was one thing, but the humiliation lingered.
17:19And it messed with my daily life.
17:23This time, I was hoping he'd go easy on me.
17:27Yeah, I had a son, but I had only been fucked once.
17:31He couldn't start with anything too intense.
17:34I wasn't built for it.
17:35And I wasn't that flexible.
17:37I was kind of nervous inside.
17:40Secretly hoping he had gotten better in bed over the years.
17:43Marcus stepped closer.
17:45Backing me against the wall.
17:48One hand braced beside my head.
17:51The other found my waist.
17:52His thumb traced slow circles over my hip bone.
17:55Pressing just hard enough to hold me there.
17:59He leaned in.
18:01Close enough that I could feel the heat coming off his chest.
18:04But he didn't touch me anywhere else.
18:06Close enough to ghost over it.
18:08No rush.
18:13I'll get everything ready.
18:15His fingers tightened on my waist slightly.
18:18Then loosened.
18:19Like he was stopping himself.
18:21Relax.
18:23I won't stop caring for you just because you're an alpha.
18:25He pulled back just enough to look me in the eyes.
18:28His gaze dark.
18:30Unhurried.
18:30Amused.
18:33It sounded like flirting.
18:34And it gave me a weird.
18:36Tingly feeling.
18:37I opened my mouth.
18:39Then closed it.
18:40Nothing came out.
18:41Yeah.
18:42He had that rich CEO vibe.
18:44But why was he playing on the charm with me?
18:46What the hell was this?
18:48Some cheesy romance drama?
18:53Marcus said the best time to get pregnant was during his rut.
18:56That was when alphas were super fertile.
18:58The doctor said his rut hit next week.
19:01And here I am.
19:03Still kind of nervous.
19:06I watched his box after box of lube was hauled into the bedroom.
19:10And my smile died.
19:12Seriously?
19:13Did we really need that much?
19:15What did he think I was?
19:16I wasn't made of steel down there, okay?
19:20Then I caught sight of Alfred in the doorway with those round eyes of his.
19:24And I swallowed my panic.
19:26Whatever.
19:26For his health.
19:27I'd suck it up.
19:29Over the past few days.
19:31Marcus pheromones had begun to stir.
19:34When he looked up at me that morning, his eyes darted briefly to my lips.
19:39I would have totally missed it without all that organization training.
19:43I knew the day had finally come.
19:47That night, I jumped in the shower as soon as I hit the bedroom.
19:52I just got back from the arena, reeking of sweat.
19:56If I didn't wash up, Marcus would break my ribs.
20:01Before I even made it to bed.
20:03No way I was going head to head with him.
20:07I had no idea when he got back.
20:11But when I stepped out of the shower.
20:13He was already sitting at the edge of the bed in silence.
20:18Hands braced loosely at his sides.
20:21His sharp gaze raking over me.
20:24I froze mid-step, my throat bobbing.
20:27He crooked his finger at me.
20:29I relaxed and walked over.
20:32As soon as I got close, he grabbed my wrist, yanked me into his arms.
20:38He dipped his head and sniffed my gland, voice gravelly.
20:44Scared?
20:47I tensed up, clutching the sheets beneath me as I blinked hard.
20:56No.
20:57Just another job.
20:59If you're gonna do this, hurry up.
21:01Miss this heat window, and who knows when I'll get pregnant again.
21:05Marcus's fertility.
21:07No way it's that strong.
21:09Get alpha pregnant twice.
21:11Outside a rut.
21:12That'd be seriously humiliating.
21:15He pinned me down on the bed.
21:18His hips ground into mine, slow and hard at the same time.
21:23I gasped, then shoved at his chest.
21:30Wait!
21:31He caught my face in one hand, thumb pressing against my lower lip.
21:39Stop fighting me.
21:41Struggling to catch my breath.
21:44Hold up!
21:45I panted.
21:46He answered by dragging his teeth down my throat.
21:51Wait!
21:52Stop!
21:53Hold up!
21:54Don't!
21:56Marcus paused.
21:57He leaned in.
21:58Ear to my lips.
21:59Voice rough.
22:04What's up?
22:05My breath came in ragged bursts.
22:09Halftime.
22:10I begged.
22:12I need a break.
22:16I need a break.
22:18Sure.
22:19He wrapped one arm around my waist and shifted us around so I was sitting fully in his lap,
22:23giving me something to hold on to.
22:26I went limp against him, squeezing my eyes shut like my life was over.
22:31It was just as overwhelming as it had been the first time.
22:35I had already pushed out one baby, so why the hell was I still so tight?
22:40It was just like our first time.
22:42Exhausting and brutal.
22:44Back then, at least I could pop some painkillers halfway through and let them kick in.
22:50This time, I had to feel everything clearly.
22:54I wasn't even done feeling sorry for myself.
22:58Then the pheromones in the air came rushing back.
23:01Marcus' temperature shot up, his lips back on my nape, rubbing softly.
23:06His dry mouth rasped against my gland.
23:10The rush so intense that everything went blurry.
23:14Don't.
23:15I let out a low moan before I could stop myself, my warning carrying no weight.
23:20He patted my waist.
23:23Break is over.
23:25I glanced at the alarm clock on the knitstand and snapped.
23:28It's just been five minutes.
23:30His deep voice vibrated against my skin.
23:33He rubbed up on my gland, and I couldn't tell what was real anymore.
23:38Time is money.
23:40Can't waste it.
23:42I felt my eye twitch.
23:45Regular alphas had ruts lasting three or four days.
23:49S-class ones?
23:50Lichen King?
23:51A solid seven days?
23:53Those seven days, Marcus worked me over, cycling through every impossible position imaginable.
24:00I was ready to curse him out halfway through, but he had an answer for everything.
24:08The doctor said this helps with conception.
24:10Did I buy it?
24:12But I had no choice.
24:17If I didn't get pregnant, we'd be right back here next cycle,
24:20and somehow it'd be my fault for not trying hard enough.
24:24I finally made it through Marcus Rutt.
24:27I crashed onto the bed, totally wiped out, my head pounding non-stop.
24:34I dragged myself back to reality and elbowed him.
24:39Test results take at least a week.
24:41I gotta work during that.
24:42He frowned, genuinely confused.
24:49Work?
24:50You mean the arena fighting?
24:52Didn't my beta pay you?
24:55Why do you still have to work?
24:57I forced patience into my voice.
24:59A different job?
25:01I've got nothing going on anyway, so I might as well make some extra money.
25:06Marcus' eyes cut into me, sharp and unreadable.
25:12Jeffery, you always seem broke.
25:16From what I hear, a fighter of your caliber earns $2,000 a fight.
25:22You do three or four fights a week, that's at least $24,000 a month.
25:26So how come you couldn't even afford the cheapest suppressor?
25:31When I saw you that day.
25:37Just burn through money fast, I guess?
25:40I looked away like it was nothing.
25:43Marcus narrowed his eyes.
25:45He didn't buy it for a second, but he let it drop.
25:49He pulled a black card from his wallet and held it out.
25:56Use it when you need money.
25:58I took it, stunned, and asked on a strange impulse.
26:02We barely know each other.
26:05And you're handing me your card?
26:07You really don't think I'll take your money and do something dirty with it?
26:12When they trace it back, you can't prove it wasn't you.
26:17Don't forget, I'm a hitman.
26:20Marcus leaned back against the headboard,
26:22checking me out like he had all the time in the world.
26:25Instead, he said with absolute certainty.
26:29You won't.
26:31I felt exposed, hot with embarrassment, and snarled.
26:35What makes you so sure?
26:38He chuckled softly, twining his fingers through my sweaty hair.
26:45When I brought Fred home, I looked into you.
26:49You've done 31 missions over the years.
26:52All your targets were dead weight in office,
26:55corrupt officials, and moral degenerates.
26:58You might not be a saint, but you're no villain either.
27:04That's beneath you.
27:05His words got my blood pumping.
27:08For a second there, I almost believed I was some kind of hero.
27:11I pursed my lips and shut up,
27:14no longer bugging him about going back to work.
27:19What he meant was obvious.
27:21If he wanted to dig, he'd find everything.
27:24There was no point hiding stuff from him.
27:28So I used his card for everything.
27:30A week went by.
27:33To my surprise, I wasn't pregnant.
27:36That made absolutely no sense.
27:39Last time, I got pregnant even when Marcus wasn't in rut.
27:42This time, we did everything right, so why nothing?
27:48I looked at him.
27:49His face was blank, giving nothing away.
27:52He had to be upset, probably questioning himself.
27:56But then again, he was almost 30 age caught up with everyone.
28:00Great sex didn't mean anything if we couldn't make a baby.
28:06I gave Marcus a knowing pat on the shoulder.
28:09As a guy myself, I got it.
28:11Now that I thought about it, he should be thanking me.
28:15If I hadn't given him a son three years ago, he'd still be praying for one.
28:20My mind was racing with all kinds of wild thoughts.
28:23Then I turned.
28:26And saw Marcus' face go serious.
28:29He slid the report across to me.
28:31I looked down.
28:33My report read.
28:34Chronic administration of aphrodisiac drugs.
28:37Alpha gland atrophy observed.
28:40Reproductive cavity demonstrates diminished viability.
28:44He jabbed at the report.
28:46His words coming out hard and slow.
28:49Jeffrey.
28:51You'd better start explaining yourself.
28:54Yeah.
28:55He deserved to know.
28:56After all, we were in this together.
28:59I felt his eyes burning a hole in my head.
29:02I tried to find the right words.
29:06Remember when you asked why I'm so broke?
29:11Three years ago, everyone in the organization was being hunted down.
29:16I was on the run when some young guy saved me.
29:20He took seven bullets and was barely clinging to life.
29:24My face was on every wanted poster, so I couldn't take him to a proper hospital.
29:30I carried him to some back alley clinic instead.
29:33The doctor saw his chance and gouged me on the price.
29:37I couldn't pay, so he offered a deal.
29:41I could work it off with my pheromones after I gave birth.
29:45Five thousand dollars per vial.
29:47I gave ten vials in total.
29:53You know the rest.
29:57Six months ago, I found that arena and started fighting for money.
30:01I spilled everything, but Marcus went quiet, thinking hard.
30:06Finally, he asked.
30:08You said you were being hunted three years ago?
30:10Where?
30:11November 1345, Industrial Road, Las Vegas.
30:15He narrowed his eyes.
30:17Is that young guy still alive?
30:19Somehow, his question dripped with barely contained fury.
30:26He's a vegetable, still receiving treatment at that same clinic.
30:30What's wrong?
30:34Marcus sneered, his voice turning menacing.
30:39Perfect.
30:40Now I were to find him.
30:42He got up, his long fingers grazing the gland at the back of my neck,
30:46pressing down twice, firm but not rough.
30:51Now, it's time for some people to pay.
30:54I got in the car with Marcus.
30:56While waiting at a red light, he made a quick call.
31:03Yeah, I'll send you the address.
31:04Bring more guys over and raid that place in one go.
31:08He sounded seriously pissed.
31:11I sat there with my hands folded, quietly on edge.
31:15What the hell did Ethan Morse do to get on Marcus's bad side?
31:18Was that sketchy Dr. Cedric Bowen behind this?
31:24Completely baffled, I stared at Marcus, wanting to ask but not daring to.
31:30He kept his eyes on the road ahead, then suddenly said out of nowhere,
31:34Go ahead.
31:35What do you want to ask?
31:40Who are we going after?
31:42I asked.
31:43He gave me a long look, then dodged my question.
31:48You dumped Fred on me because of that guy, didn't you?
31:51I looked away.
31:52Not exactly.
31:54He let out a cold laugh.
31:57Trying to cover for him?
31:59He was being weirdly snarky, but I knew better than to take it personally.
32:04He was probably mad for Alfred's sake.
32:07Thinking it wasn't fair to him.
32:10But I had to set the record straight.
32:13I wasn't about to let innocent people take the fall.
32:18I didn't dump Fred to save money for Ethan's treatment.
32:21It was the whole registration thing.
32:25I was a hitman with people after me.
32:27Having him on my record would be way too risky.
32:31I might be cold, but I wasn't evil.
32:33I didn't want to drag some innocent kid in my mess.
32:36After I said my piece, Marcus' face relaxed a bit.
32:40His body no longer as tense as before.
32:43But he still wouldn't tell me what he was actually up to.
32:46He kept it a secret, and it was driving me nuts.
32:50It was a four-hour drive from Los Angeles to Las Vegas.
32:53I sat in the passenger seat, uneasy and restless.
32:59If Marcus was going after Cedric, I'd be all for it.
33:03But obviously he wasn't letting anyone off easy.
33:07I fiddled with the dagger in my hand, distracted.
33:12By the time I came back to my senses, the car had stopped.
33:18Marcus got out and walked straight into that creepy-looking clinic.
33:22I followed right behind him.
33:26The door flew open as he kicked it in.
33:29Cedric came stomping over at the commotion.
33:32What's going on?
33:33No consultations today.
33:35Go on home!
33:36He froze mid-sentence when he saw who it was.
33:40Well, Mr. Livingston, to what do I owe the pleasure?
33:44Then his eyes landed on me, and he furrowed his brow.
33:53Mr. Livingston, don't listen to his nonsense.
33:56I'm running a clean business here.
33:57No price gouging, I promise.
33:59That's bullshit.
34:00With me, he acted like a ruthless lone shark.
34:03But in front of Marcus, he was all bows and scrapes.
34:07I hadn't even finished thinking what a piece of work he was when Marcus booted him out of the way.
34:13And strode straight into the back room.
34:17In the room, Ethan was lying there on the bed, not moving.
34:23Marcus leaned against the wall, his eyes narrowing.
34:27Name your price.
34:29How much to finish him off?
34:31Before I could get a word out, Cedric stepped in front of the bed with a shaky grin.
34:40Come on, Mr. Livingston.
34:42I'm a doctor, and I save lives.
34:44I don't do that kind of stuff.
34:47I subtly rolled my eyes.
34:49Then it all clicked.
34:52Cedric never gave a damn who lived or died.
34:55Back when I couldn't pay, he said.
34:58No money.
34:59No care for Ethan.
35:01Let him rot.
35:02But now, he was willing to piss off Marcus just to keep Ethan breathing.
35:07The truth was, they had been working together all along.
35:12My rage flared up.
35:13I balled up my fists and was about to storm in when Marcus grabbed my arm.
35:18He patted the back of my hand, telling me to cool it.
35:23I gritted my teeth, swallowing my anger as I stepped back.
35:28Marcus stepped up to the bed.
35:30He stared down at Ethan, whose breathing was getting ragged.
35:36Get the hell up!
35:37He barked.
35:39You think I'm stupid or what?
35:44Ethan bolted upright and dropped to his knees.
35:49Cedric also flinched in terror, his legs giving out as he collapsed to the floor.
35:54Both of them went white as sheets, trembling as they begged for mercy.
35:59Mr. Livingston, we're sorry.
36:02We were just trying to scam some money together.
36:05We meant no harm.
36:06Marcus scoffed.
36:08No harm?
36:12Taking ten vials of Jeffrey's pheromones, is that what you call no harm?
36:20Cedric, I've always turned a blind eye to your antics out of respect for your dad.
36:25But you went after the wrong person this time.
36:29You're done.
36:30Right on cue, several bodyguards in sharp black suits showed up out of nowhere.
36:35They grabbed the two and hauled them out.
36:38Marcus wasn't rushing off, though.
36:40He took his sweet time going through the ledger, bossing his people around to load everything up.
36:48I was stunned.
36:49So he brought the whole crew to grab the money.
36:53I was wondering why we needed so many hands for just two guys.
36:57I could have handled them myself, quick and easy.
37:01It turned out that he needed muscle to move the goods.
37:07Get over here.
37:09Marcus waved me over.
37:10I sauntered up, playing it cool.
37:13Yeah?
37:14He pointed at where I had been standing.
37:17Pry that open.
37:18I glanced down at the ledger in his hands, puzzled.
37:22Why had they bought so much rubber?
37:25Curiosity burned in me, but I didn't dare open my mouth.
37:29Marcus' face darkened, and he looked seriously pissed, like he had walked in on his wife with another guy.
37:35The wooden planks gave way and cracked open, revealing a hidden tunnel stretching down into nothing.
37:42Marcus took my hand and pulled me in.
37:44It was cramped and dark at first, but pretty soon, it got brighter, and row after row of medical beds
37:51showed up.
37:52Each with a body on it.
37:55I stepped up for a closer look.
37:59I mumbled.
38:01Rubber products.
38:04Sex dolls, in other words.
38:08They pumped real pheromones into fake glands, so they looked exactly like living, breathing people.
38:15Rich people really have no limits when it comes to this stuff.
38:18I thought.
38:20I was about to tease Marcus, asking if he wanted to pick one out to practice on, when he started
38:26checking the numbers one by one.
38:28He went through the whole lot, then scowled and cursed under his breath.
38:32Shit, I knew it.
38:34Not here.
38:39What's not here?
38:40I asked.
38:41He shot me an irritated glance.
38:43Your pheromone batch.
38:46Oh.
38:47I froze for a split second, then stared back blankly.
38:50I laughed it off.
38:51Looks like I'm quite the valuable commodity.
38:54No wonder they said one vial and kept coming back for ten.
38:57I was really their cash cow.
38:59I flipped through the ledger, doing the math on how much Cedric had made off me.
39:04One vial of pheromones made two sex dolls, and each sold for $30,000.
39:09That put him $550,000 in my debt.
39:13I nudged Marcus, looking like a total cheapskate.
39:18Don't forget to wire the rest to my account later.
39:21But when I looked up, his face had gone even stormier.
39:27You know what those things are for, right?
39:29He snarled through his teeth.
39:33Yeah, obviously.
39:34I nodded.
39:35He threw his head back, took a deep breath, and laughed out of sheer frustration.
39:42Then get moving.
39:44You seriously want your sex doll ending up in some other guy's bed?
39:48I shrugged, not giving a damn.
39:52So what?
39:53Out of sight, out of mind.
39:55And honestly, I'm the last person who should feel embarrassed here.
40:00Marcus was left speechless.
40:01He seemed to think I had a point, but his face stayed stormy.
40:06I didn't know what got into me, but I snapped back uncharacteristically.
40:10And it meant it's my face on them.
40:13What's got you so worked up?
40:15I turned back to the pile of dolls, poking around like some kind of expert critiquing them.
40:21Pretty decent quality, though.
40:25Hey, maybe I'll open my own sex toy shop after the baby comes.
40:31I'm curious how they even make these.
40:35You should go squeeze Cedric for the details.
40:39But no real faces, or we're asking for lawsuits.
40:42I rattled on and on, but the guy next to me had gone dead silent.
40:47I glanced back, confused.
40:49Marcus was staring at me, his face blank.
40:52He sized me up from head to toe, his eyes dark and piercing.
40:57A good while passed before he snapped out of it, nodding like he had finally wised up.
41:03You're right.
41:04No point getting worked up.
41:06His voice was totally flat.
41:07No fight left in it at all.
41:10Something weird and twisty flared in my gut.
41:13I shook it off hard.
41:14I had no time for whatever that was.
41:17I had to deal with this whole mess and do my baby-making duty.
41:21The doctor said my reproductive cavity was running low on juice.
41:26I was going to lose my mind too.
41:29Luckily, all that effort paid off.
41:33I finally got pregnant with our second baby.
41:36He grew fast, and my belly was starting to show in no time.
41:42Alfred kept circling around me every day, wanting to say something but holding back.
41:48I had my legs crossed, munching on an apple like I didn't have a care in the world.
41:57Hey, what's up?
41:58Got something to say?
41:59Just say it, or go practice your archery.
42:02He walked up to me, looking downcast.
42:07Are you going to be like those parents only caring about the baby brother and treating me like nothing?
42:13I found it kind of funny.
42:15No one would ever dare treat you like that.
42:33Marcus named our second baby Felix, saying he hoped the family would always be lively and bustling.
42:39He turned to ask what I thought, but I was fully focused on playing chess with Alfred.
42:45I waved my hand, and indicated that he could decide for himself.
42:49Even after I had been this obedient, Marcus was still dissatisfied and left with a cold face.
42:56So ungrateful.
42:58I clicked my tongue lightly.
43:01When he came back later, I would definitely curse him behind his back.
43:08Before I even had time to have a minor outburst, something happened to Marcus.
43:17He got into a fight with someone at a banquet.
43:21When I went to pick him up,
43:25Marcus's pheromones were wildly leaking out of control.
43:30I was nearly overwhelmed by the sheer force of them.
43:34I covered my mouth and nose, took two steps forward into his line of sight.
43:39Marcus suddenly raised his eyes, reacting with the speed of a wild beast.
43:44Fortunately, he still recognized me.
43:47Those dark, heavy eyes quietly relaxed the moment they saw me clearly, shedding their guard.
43:54I also relaxed my tense back and walked over with the suppressant.
44:01Marcus sat on the sofa with his hands clasped and resting on his knees,
44:05his deep eyes unblinking as they fixed on my movements.
44:09His gaze was obscure, like a bottomless, dried up well that could not be seen through.
44:15I asked him while unpacking the suppressant,
44:19Why are you staring at me like that?
44:22Marcus said nothing and did not move his gaze away from me.
44:25Suddenly, he covered his face and laughed for no apparent reason.
44:29What was he thinking about?
44:31It was downright unsettling.
44:35Forget it if I was helping someone, I might as well see it through.
44:41I grabbed Marcus's arm, accurately inserted the needle into the vein.
44:46Just as I tossed the waste into the trash, prepared to leave, Marcus finally spoke.
44:54I can't.
44:55Marcus wrapped an arm around my waist.
44:58I can't calm down, and I'm furious.
45:01When that Omega talked about your pheromone products today,
45:03I wanted nothing more than to tear him to pieces.
45:07I was startled by the ferocity in his eyes.
45:10My body instinctively retreated after sensing danger,
45:13and I subconsciously assumed a stance ready to attack.
45:17Marcus closed his eyes briefly and forced that killing intent down.
45:21Don't be afraid.
45:23I won't hurt you.
45:26I was just a bit out of control.
45:28I'll be fine in a while.
45:30I nodded, unsure of what to say.
45:34I could only let Marcus press me down to sit on his lap.
45:38He lowered his head to greedily inhale the scent of my glands.
45:43He raised a hand to touch my round belly and discussed it with me.
45:48After the child is born, stay.
45:51Shall we live together?
45:55I looked down at his hand.
45:57Those fingers that had broken bones.
45:59Pulled triggers.
46:01Now resting so gently on the swell of my pregnancy.
46:04I covered his hand with mine.
46:08Okay.
46:09I was lying.
46:10After the second baby's full moon ceremony,
46:13I was ready to run.
46:18The moment I stepped out the front door,
46:20more than a dozen bodyguards followed behind me.
46:25I was furious and called Marcus.
46:28You bastard.
46:29What do you mean by this?
46:30You're spying on me.
46:31On the other end of the line came Marcus's extremely delighted laughter.
46:37Jeffrey,
46:38from the moment you agreed to stay with me,
46:41there was no way out.
46:42Come back now.
46:46Tonight,
46:47we'll try something new.
46:49Fuck now it was done.
46:51I had fallen into Marcus's hand.
46:55For the rest of my life,
46:57I could only let him do whatever he wanted.
46:59I could only let him do whatever he wanted.
47:01I could only let him do whatever he wanted.
47:03I could only let him do whatever he wanted.
