Short filmTranscript
00:03I married the Black Dragon Commander.
00:06We were said to be 100% compatible, though he was forced into it.
00:11For two years, he never interested in me.
00:14Are we doing this or not? I have matters to attend to.
00:19Let's not. You go ahead.
00:22Are you sure?
00:23Absolutely sure.
00:24He studied me. He put on his military uniform.
00:27As soon as he left, I dialed the Covenant.
00:35What is going on?
00:36We apologize, Ms. Lyra.
00:38Database upgrade revealed a matching error.
00:40Commander Kalen is not your true soulmate.
00:44We've been married for two years, and you're only telling me now?
00:47We're sorry. He still has an 80% compatibility with you.
00:50Theoretically, your marriage shouldn't be affected.
00:52You said theoretically.
00:54What about in reality?
00:55In reality, your 100% match is someone else.
01:00Who?
01:00We're retrieving the corrupted file.
01:03Has Kalen been notified?
01:05Not yet. He blocked us.
01:07Yeah, Kalen loathed for assigning him a human wife.
01:10Don't tell him yet. I'll handle it.
01:13We are counting on you, Lyra.
01:14This was a dragon-ruled kingdom.
01:17Kalen was its all-powerful High Commander.
01:19I was a human, stranded here five years ago.
01:23When the Bureau found me, I agreed to the match at once.
01:27I wanted his connections to go home.
01:30But Kalen didn't want me.
01:32He only agreed because of the 100% compatibility claim.
01:37I tried everything to win him over, to seduce him.
01:42He hated every move.
01:44I even threatened to call him impotent if he refused.
01:47I'll tell everyone you're frigid.
01:48He endured my touch, cold and resentful.
01:51Until today, the truth came out.
01:54Kalen could never love me.
01:5780% meant nothing.
01:59It's over.
01:59Only 100% could open his heart.
02:03A chill struck me.
02:04When he learns the truth, will he burn me to ashes?
02:08I stopped messaging Kalen after that call.
02:11A week later, he messaged first.
02:14I've sent a physician to check you.
02:16I'm not sick.
02:17The housekeeper said you've been distracted.
02:19You stopped shopping.
02:20Are you well?
02:21I'm fine.
02:23Fine.
02:24Before, I'd boldly say I loved him or wanted him.
02:28Now I said nothing.
02:30Kalen typed long, then sent.
02:34I'm coming home tomorrow.
02:38So soon?
02:39No need to rush.
02:40I'm fine.
02:41Focus on your duty.
02:42The kingdom needs you.
02:43Don't worry about us.
02:47Kalen didn't reply.
02:49Half an hour later, he walked in.
02:51He looked like he'd raced through a storm to get to me.
02:55He didn't even take off his uniform.
02:57He pressed his hand to my forehead.
02:59Temperature on normal.
03:00Breathing normal.
03:01Scent normal.
03:03You're not sick?
03:05I keep telling you I'm fine.
03:07Then why have you stopped going out?
03:09Your favorite brand drops new parses every Monday.
03:12You used to come home loaded with bags.
03:14Trying to save you some money.
03:16Whatever you spend, I can earn back.
03:18We didn't marry for me to Prince Penny.
03:20I couldn't tell him that we would be divorced soon enough.
03:24In the silence, Kalen swept me into his arms toward the bedroom.
03:28You always wanted me to wear this uniform while we do something.
03:31Let's do it today.
03:32Just this once.
03:34No, no!
03:35You must be exhausted from work.
03:38I'd be a beast if I jumped all over you the minute you walked through the door.
03:41You rest.
03:41I'm not that thirsty.
03:42I'll cook for you.
03:43I scurried to the kitchen.
03:45Glancing back, I saw Kalen standing still.
03:49His expression lost.
03:51A moment later, he followed me to the kitchen.
03:54An urgent matter arose.
03:56I have to go back.
03:58Go ahead.
03:59I'll return as soon as I'm done.
04:01Don't rush.
04:02Handle your duties.
04:03Since you're cooking yourself, I have to enjoy this meal.
04:10Shall I make it and bring it over?
04:13You're, you're always running back and forth.
04:15It's too much.
04:17Very well.
04:19I intended it as an excuse, but he accepted.
04:22Was he not feeling well?
04:23As he left, I handed the cooking to the chef.
04:27When the meal was ready, I headed to headquarters.
04:30The building was massive, radiating the same suffocating pressure as Kalen.
04:37Meet me at the old spot.
04:38Send your adjunct in to pick this up.
04:41Come inside.
04:43I've authorized your entry.
04:45Isn't that wrong?
04:46This is top secret.
04:48No outsiders allowed in.
04:50It's fine.
04:50No one will dare stop you.
04:52I usually wait at the gate.
04:58Just come in.
04:59Perhaps I was mistaken, but his voice sounded softer.
05:03I braced myself and walked in.
05:06Every eye in the building turned to me.
05:09The draconic guards were in their element here.
05:12A human in these halls was an anomaly.
05:15Hey, how did you get in?
05:16Are the guards slacking?
05:17Upon learning I was Kalen's wife, they peered at me with contempt.
05:23Just her?
05:24I caught their disdain.
05:26Kalen's marriage was clearly a joke to them.
05:32Fine, you were supposed to eat with me.
05:33How could you forget again?
05:35Sorry, I got caught up at work.
05:36What kind of excuse is that?
05:38It was Isolde, a lovely siren, whose real shape is a nightingale.
05:43That if not for the 100% match, she would have been his partner.
05:49Kalen was listening to Isolde's tantrum when his nostrils flared.
05:56You're here.
05:59I must clarify, the situation isn't what you think.
06:02My apologies.
06:03I'll leave you to it.
06:04I'm off.
06:06Kalen, if you're busy, don't worry about coming home tonight.
06:08I won't leave the lights on.
06:15The data is still being restored, but he definitely has one.
06:18Understood.
06:19I think I know who it is.
06:20Fix it faster.
06:21Your efficiency is a disaster.
06:23Can't you work overtime?
06:24Miss Lyra, your data restoration is almost complete.
06:27I will send your 100% matches info immediately.
06:30Fine.
06:33I spent the evening in solitary bliss.
06:36Unexpectedly, Kalen returned.
06:40Why are you back?
06:44This is my home.
06:45Can't I come home?
06:47I didn't mean that.
06:49Lyra, there's nothing between Islot and me.
06:51It was never like that.
06:53She's just a comrade.
06:55Today's her birthday.
06:56She invited me, and I thought it was a group dinner.
06:58I lost track of time, so she came looking for me.
07:01It's no big deal.
07:03You stood her up.
07:04Did you apologize properly?
07:05I don't know her, but girls are all the same.
07:08Just sweet talk her.
07:09She'll get over it.
07:10Are you like that too?
07:13I don't need cattling.
07:15I'm fine.
07:23Wait.
07:25The protection.
07:26What?
07:29A condom.
07:31When did you buy this?
07:32Today.
07:33Why?
07:35Haven't you always wanted a child?
07:36I've changed my mind.
07:38I'm young.
07:39Let's wait.
07:40You've been truly weird lately.
07:43Have I?
07:44Yes.
07:46You used to make the first move every time.
07:48But tonight, no matter how I kissed you, you just shut down.
07:52You used to call me my love non-stop.
07:55Bug me at work.
07:56Tease me about my muscles.
07:58Now you only use my name.
08:00What's going on with you?
08:01Kaelin, I want a divorce.
08:04What?
08:05Why?
08:06I don't think we're right for each other.
08:09Our status, our backgrounds, they just don't match.
08:14The compatibility bond says we're perfect together.
08:16But compatibility isn't absolute.
08:19It's just data.
08:20And we are real people.
08:22You and I can't just settle for some number.
08:24Settle?
08:27So, that's how you see it?
08:29His eyes darkened right away.
08:31The draconic horns that had started to show slowly retreated.
08:36Kaelin stood up and started getting dressed.
08:38I need some space.
08:39He left for the balcony without another word.
08:42Under the moonlight, he had forgotten to retract the tail.
08:45It hung loose behind.
08:47When I was young, I had a dog.
08:50When it was happy, its tail would wag.
08:52When it was sad, it would hang, just like that.
08:55Kaelin was miserable.
08:57Perhaps the divorce request was too sudden.
09:00For a high commander, a perfect, stable marriage was part of his prestige.
09:04Suddenly ending it would bring a torrent of political pressure.
09:08When Kaelin returned, he asked again,
09:11Are you sure you want a divorce?
09:13Yes.
09:14But no rush.
09:15I'll go along with whatever you arrange.
09:18It'll take some time, True.
09:20My father's birthday dinner is in a few days.
09:23Come with me.
09:24Don't upset him.
09:25We'll talk about everything else after.
09:27That's fine.
09:28I can do that.
09:29So, everything you said before, was it all a lie?
09:34What?
09:35I didn't hear that.
09:37Nothing.
09:37Go to sleep.
09:39Good night.
09:39He turned and walked out of the bedroom.
09:41The Covenant sent over the data on my real match.
09:44Like me, he was human.
09:46His name was Dorian, a young, genius scientist.
09:50He was nearly Kaelin's height and build.
09:53In this world of powerful beastmen,
09:55he earned his high status and fortune with his brilliant mind alone.
10:00The file had his contact info,
10:02which meant he already knew I existed.
10:05They only leave their details if one side is willing to recognize the other.
10:09But I didn't reach out to Dorian.
10:11I was still Kaelin's wife.
10:13I didn't want to make things messy.
10:16Besides, I would eventually return to my own world.
10:19No need to write more tragedy into my story.
10:22On the weekend, Kaelin came to pick me up for the banquet.
10:26You'll have to put up with some things today.
10:29We have to act like we're deeply in love.
10:32Don't worry.
10:33My eyes will be only for you.
10:35One more thing.
10:37My brother's coming back.
10:39You have a brother?
10:41Why have you never mentioned him?
10:43He's my half-brother.
10:45My mother's son from her first marriage.
10:47He's human.
10:49Human?
10:50We reached the estate.
10:52His father had been a powerful figure,
10:54and the banquet was filled with high society.
10:58I held on to Kaelin's arm, ignoring all the stares.
11:02Kaelin, is this your 100% match?
11:05What does a perfect bond feel like?
11:09Tell us.
11:10Right.
11:1170% is already rare enough.
11:13I'd rather not say.
11:15I'd hate to make you jealous.
11:16You're such a tease.
11:18But honestly, we're all envious.
11:21They say real soulmates feel something physical the second they meet.
11:25Yeah, a sudden spark.
11:26A racing heart.
11:27Is that what it's like?
11:28It was the first time I'd heard that.
11:31I thought back to the first time I met Kaelin.
11:34None of that had happened.
11:36If he hadn't felt it either,
11:38wouldn't he have figured out the data was wrong?
11:41I looked up at him,
11:43but his face was totally calm.
11:45It's more than that.
11:47It's an overwhelming urge to possess the other or be possessed.
11:51His words trailed off,
11:53and he lowered his head,
11:55watching me.
11:56The banquet began.
11:57The host stepped onto the stage.
12:00I have called you here for an urgent announcement.
12:03My wife passed away long ago.
12:06Before she married me, she had a son.
12:08After she passed away,
12:09her eldest son stayed with his grandmother.
12:12He came to live with us after my mother-in-law died.
12:16All these years later,
12:17we've grown as close as real father and son.
12:20Today, I officially declare him a true member of the family of Ashwarren.
12:25Kaelin seemed to have expected this.
12:27Does this not bother you?
12:31Bother me?
12:32He's human, yet he's to be your brother.
12:34My mother was human.
12:36You are human.
12:38His candor surprised me.
12:39Come, Dorian.
12:41Come meet everyone.
12:42At the sound of his name,
12:43my mind went blank.
12:45The air seemed to shift.
12:47I looked up and saw him.
12:49Dorian.
12:50My true 100% match.
12:53Dorian's gaze cut through the crowd,
12:56locking straight onto me.
12:57In that split second,
12:59my heart seized.
13:01Every cell in me screaming to merge with him.
13:04But it was only a flicker.
13:06I was human.
13:08And humans had the will to master their base instincts.
13:12Dorian's eyes fell on my arms,
13:14still entwined with Kaelin's.
13:16His face, unreadable.
13:17He had control over himself as well.
13:20The patriarch guided Dorian through the crowd
13:23until they reached us.
13:25Three years, brother.
13:27You've grown.
13:27Are you almost 1.9 meters now?
13:29Nearly.
13:301.89.
13:31You locked yourself away for three years for your research
13:34and didn't even come home.
13:35But I am back now.
13:37This is Lyra, my wife.
13:38I invited you to the wedding,
13:39but you were too busy.
13:41My bad.
13:42I'll make it up to you with three drinks.
13:45Fair enough.
13:45I'll drink with you today.
13:47Lyra, you don't mind?
13:48Go ahead.
13:49Don't worry about me.
13:50After a few rounds of wine,
13:52Dorian's faint, ethereal scent
13:54seemed to seep into my bones.
13:56I excused myself to the terrace for air.
13:58The cool breeze cleared my head.
14:01Moments later, footsteps approached.
14:03It was Dorian.
14:05Lyra, may I call you that?
14:07I was always curious why my soulmate never contacted me.
14:11Seeing you now, I understand.
14:13I laughed awkwardly.
14:14The Covenant messed up the data.
14:16I thought I was a perfect match with Kaelin.
14:18I see.
14:19It isn't the first time they've made a mistake.
14:21But Kaelin doesn't know, does he?
14:23We should keep it between us.
14:24He doesn't?
14:26Dorian raised an eyebrow.
14:27I had to admit,
14:29back in my original world,
14:31Dorian would have been my ideal type.
14:33The Covenant is panicking over how to break it to him.
14:38Dorian scoffed.
14:39How incompetent.
14:40Sounds like they've never been crushed
14:42by the grind of a real career.
14:44Exactly.
14:44If I were their boss,
14:45I'd make them work 996 schedules.
14:47At their efficiency,
14:48even 007 wouldn't save them.
14:50Wait.
14:52You know that too?
14:53How could you?
14:55I thought you grew up here.
14:56Maybe I didn't even get here as early as you did.
15:00When did you come here?
15:01Five years ago.
15:02You?
15:03Dorian's polished facade cracked.
15:06A while before that.
15:07His posture relaxing.
15:08How have you been holding up in this draconic hellhole?
15:11It's insane.
15:12I want to go home.
15:13Soon.
15:14What?
15:15The human world and the Beastmen world
15:17exist in separate spatial dimensions.
15:19My father brought me here.
15:20I've been doing this research
15:21to find a way to travel between the two realms.
15:24The results are promising.
15:25We should be able to return shortly.
15:28Dorian!
15:28My God!
15:30Are you a saint?
15:31Just a little bit of science.
15:33It's all in the math.
15:34Dorian flashed a hand gesture
15:35from our original world.
15:37Back home,
15:38I was the youngest researcher
15:39published in the journals.
15:40It was you?
15:42I saw your headlines!
15:45I remembered a brilliant young prodigy
15:48whose face was plastered everywhere.
15:51Now,
15:51the pride of the scientific world
15:53sat before me,
15:55plotting our escape.
15:58Lila,
16:00there you are.
16:01Kalen stepped out of the darkness.
16:03Kalen's demeanor had shifted
16:04from gentle to icy.
16:06His eyes were the golden slitted pupils
16:09of a black dragon.
16:11He fixed on Dorian with predatory intent.
16:14Dorian didn't flinch.
16:16Lila and I were just reminiscing.
16:18Father is still waiting for you.
16:20Feel free to visit my lab
16:21whenever you like.
16:24Get him away from you.
16:27Kalen pulled me against him.
16:28His hand gripped
16:30where Dorian had just brushed.
16:32What were you talking about?
16:34You seemed quite happy.
16:37Just some lab work?
16:39His voice was calm.
16:41Are you going to his laboratory?
16:42But the air around them
16:44crackled with tension.
16:45I gritted my teeth,
16:48forcing myself to remain calm.
16:50Perhaps...
16:51It was the first time
16:53I truly felt
16:54the sheer terrifying power
16:57of the dragon.
16:58He was human-shaped,
17:00yet I could almost feel
17:01his invisible claws
17:03grazing my skin,
17:05marking me as his property.
17:07His possessiveness
17:09had erupted.
17:10I knew it was not love.
17:13Visiting Dorian's laboratory
17:14was non-negotiable.
17:16I needed to see that machine.
17:18My only ticket back
17:19to my own world.
17:20The moment Kalen left
17:21for his duties
17:22the next morning,
17:23I slipped out.
17:25Dorian walked me
17:26through his research,
17:27his words igniting
17:28a flicker of hope
17:29in my chest.
17:31Time vanished
17:32in that sterile
17:33alchemical space.
17:35It wasn't until dusk.
17:36I realized my phone
17:38was flooded
17:39with Kalen's
17:40missed calls
17:41and messages.
17:42Still texting Kalen?
17:43Kalen?
17:45Yes.
17:46You said he wasn't
17:48exactly warm.
17:48What changed?
17:49Who knows?
17:50Probably the possessiveness
17:51of a dragon in his prime.
17:54Dorian dimmed
17:55the lab lights
17:56and we stepped out together.
17:58We ran into Kalen
18:00the second we reached
18:01the ground floor.
18:02He'd been waiting there
18:03for hours,
18:05his eyes bloodshot.
18:06My scout said
18:07you were here.
18:08I didn't want to believe it,
18:09but it's true.
18:11I'm sorry,
18:12I didn't check my phone.
18:19Enough.
18:21Can we go home?
18:23I followed him silently,
18:25my mind still racing
18:26with the schematics
18:27I'd seen.
18:28Laya,
18:29I can't escort you
18:30home today.
18:31What a pity.
18:32Come back tomorrow,
18:32I have more to show you.
18:35Kalen instantly
18:36went into defensive mode.
18:37She won't be coming back.
18:39That remains to be seen.
18:41Dorian met his
18:42murderous gaze
18:43with a faint,
18:44mocking smile.
18:48Kalen,
18:49you once invited me
18:49to your estate.
18:50I'd love to see
18:51where you and Lyra live.
18:53It's not convenient.
18:54My apologies,
18:55I didn't realize.
18:57I suppose I don't have
18:58a home to visit anymore,
18:59do I?
19:00My parents are gone.
19:02Dorian winked at me,
19:04fainting hurt.
19:05Lyra, babe?
19:06Is he always
19:07the stifling?
19:09Is that name
19:10yours to use?
19:11The atmosphere
19:12turned explosive.
19:14Kalen's eyes
19:15shifted into
19:16vertical slits.
19:18Just a joke,
19:19Kalen.
19:20With such a
19:21possessive grip,
19:22what will you do
19:22if she's stolen away?
19:24That will never happen.
19:27I love Lyra,
19:29and she loves me.
19:31The word love
19:32catching in his throat.
19:34Dorian chuckled.
19:36I envy you.
19:38Though the covenant
19:39told me I also
19:40have a hundred percent
19:41soul match.
19:42His eyes locked
19:43on mine.
19:44A clear challenge.
19:46Kalen stepped forward,
19:47shielding me
19:48with his large
19:49armored frame.
19:51Darian,
19:52I would not
19:52hesitate to kill you
19:54right here.
19:55I finally snapped
19:57back to my senses
19:58and tugged
19:59at Kalen's sleeve.
20:00Let's go home.
20:01We finally
20:02dragged Kalen away.
20:03Lyra,
20:04you shouldn't have
20:05met him
20:05behind my back.
20:08Why?
20:09You are my wife.
20:11Yet you spent
20:12an entire day
20:13alone in a confined
20:14space with another
20:15male.
20:16The very air
20:17in the car
20:17shifted.
20:18I could feel
20:19his emotional
20:20collapse.
20:21He was bordering
20:22on insanity,
20:23trying to suppress
20:24the image of us
20:25together.
20:26We're getting a
20:27divorce, aren't we?
20:28We agreed to
20:29discuss it after
20:29the banquet.
20:30You really
20:31want to leave?
20:32Because of him?
20:34Not because of him,
20:35but I have my
20:36reasons.
20:37I had only wanted
20:38a divorce because
20:39of the data error.
20:40Now, I wanted
20:42to go home.
20:43If he didn't
20:44love me, I should
20:45free him before
20:46I vanished.
20:47Kalen fell silent.
20:48I thought he was
20:49already drawing up
20:50the divorce papers,
20:51but the moment
20:52we got home,
20:53he pushed me
20:54into the bathroom.
20:56What are you
20:57doing?
20:58A bath.
21:00No covet of his
21:01scent.
21:02It has to be
21:03washed off.
21:04These clothes
21:05are going too.
21:06I can do it
21:07myself.
21:08No.
21:10I can't trust
21:11anyone but myself.
21:12Kalen scrubbed
21:13me with obsessive
21:14force, the shower
21:15soaking his dress
21:16shirt.
21:17He was losing
21:18control.
21:19His pupils were
21:20fully draconic.
21:21The heat radiating
21:23from him meant
21:24he'd entered his
21:24mating rut early.
21:25all because of
21:27jealousy.
21:28When we finished,
21:29he tossed a set
21:30of clothes at me.
21:31It was the exact
21:32set I'd planned
21:33to wear to seduce
21:34him the day the
21:35data changed.
21:36He forced me
21:37into them without
21:37a word.
21:38I had underestimated
21:40the terrifying
21:41power of a dragon
21:42in rut.
21:47I tried to push
21:48him away.
21:51Go change
21:52yourself.
21:53Kalen left,
21:54only to return
21:55in his crisp
21:56forbidden military
21:57uniform as he
21:59dragged me back
22:00into the abyss.
22:12You're hiding
22:13something from me.
22:25hot tears
22:26landing on my
22:26skin.
22:36You were so happy
22:37talking to him.
22:40Will you be with him
22:41after the divorce?
22:45Can we,
22:46can we not get
22:47divorced?
22:48The night ended
22:49with me passing out.
22:50The night ended
22:51in my unconsciousness.
22:54When I woke,
22:55Kalen was still there,
22:56kneeling to help me
22:57pull on my stockings.
22:58My lower back
22:59ached,
23:00and the air was
23:01thick with the
23:02shame and ecstasy
23:04of the night before.
23:06I was about to speak
23:07when his phone buzzed.
23:08The voice of his
23:09adjutant came through.
23:11Commander,
23:12there's a complication.
23:13Keep it under control.
23:14I'm on my way back.
23:16No, sir.
23:17It's about your
23:18compatibility report.
23:19Kalen finally
23:20obtained the report.
23:22He crushed
23:22the two sheets of
23:23paper in his grip,
23:25his dragon fire
23:26flickering in his eyes.
23:28The Covenant's
23:29headquarters
23:29had been purged.
23:30The staff
23:31stood like
23:32trembling quail.
23:34Twenty minutes ago,
23:35Kalen's data
23:36had been
23:37fully restored.
23:37An intern
23:38had sent the report
23:40to his adjutant.
23:41The secret
23:42the Covenant
23:42had fought
23:43to bury
23:44was now
23:45laid bare.
23:46I was
23:47Kalen's
23:48100% match,
23:50but he
23:51was only
23:5280%
23:52to me.
23:54Simultaneously,
23:55Kalen saw
23:56my report.
23:57It clearly
23:58stated my
23:59perfect match
24:00was Dorian.
24:01The elder
24:02director sat
24:03in his chair,
24:04sweating
24:05profusely.
24:06Commander,
24:07the fault
24:08is mine
24:09alone.
24:10I'll pull
24:11my own
24:11life support
24:12plug if that
24:12buys your
24:13forgiveness.
24:14Kalen stared
24:14at him.
24:15Don't touch
24:16the plug.
24:17I have
24:17questions.
24:18Anything,
24:19sir.
24:19Where do I
24:20fall short
24:21in those
24:2120%?
24:22The room
24:22fell into
24:23an eerie
24:24silence.
24:24No one
24:25had expected
24:26him to be
24:26so clinical.
24:27Must I
24:28say it?
24:28It has
24:30to do
24:30with your
24:30private
24:31biology.
24:32Speak.
24:35Ahem.
24:36Our
24:37comparative
24:37analysis
24:37suggests that
24:38for Lyra,
24:39your physical
24:39constitution is
24:40simply too
24:41overwhelming.
24:43Meaning?
24:44If you were
24:44to release
24:45your full
24:45draconic
24:46potential in
24:46terms of
24:47size and
24:47stamina,
24:48Lyra simply
24:49cannot withstand
24:50it.
24:50Last night,
24:51blinded by
24:52jealousy,
24:53he had
24:54lost all
24:55restraint.
24:55I hadn't
24:56just fallen
24:57asleep.
24:58I had
24:59blacked out.
25:00Anything else?
25:01Nothing.
25:03That is
25:04the only
25:05discrepancy
25:05that lowered
25:06the score
25:06to 80%.
25:09And him?
25:10How does
25:11he reach
25:11100%?
25:13Besides,
25:14that?
25:16I have
25:17never seen
25:17such an
25:18anomaly.
25:19It seems,
25:20it seems,
25:23he and
25:23Lyra share
25:24a near
25:24identical
25:24genetical
25:25sequence.
25:26They originated
25:26from the
25:27same realm.
25:28That is
25:28the true
25:29source of
25:29the 100%
25:30match.
25:30Are they
25:31blood-related?
25:33No,
25:33no,
25:34you
25:34misunderstand.
25:35They
25:35simply
25:36share
25:36the same
25:36origin.
25:37Kaylin
25:38turned his
25:38gaze
25:38to me.
25:39My
25:40mind
25:40raced,
25:41readying an
25:41excuse
25:42about being
25:42hometown
25:43friends with
25:44Dorian,
25:45but he
25:46asked
25:46nothing.
25:51Back home,
25:53Kaylin sat
25:53on the
25:53balcony,
25:54brooding
25:54in the
25:54dark.
25:58So this
25:58is why
25:59you asked
25:59for a
25:59divorce?
26:00Because
26:00you found
26:01a human
26:01with a
26:02higher
26:02compatibility?
26:03I walked
26:04over,
26:05trying to
26:05laugh it
26:05off.
26:0680%
26:07is still
26:07high,
26:08isn't it?
26:09Don't be
26:09so grum.
26:11He paused,
26:12then added,
26:12I'm
26:13sorry.
26:15What are
26:15you apologizing
26:16for?
26:17I was
26:18too rough
26:18last night,
26:19wasn't I?
26:20Were you
26:21hurt?
26:21A little,
26:22but it
26:23was okay.
26:25You
26:25looked
26:26magnificent
26:27when you
26:27lost
26:27control.
26:30I'll be
26:30more careful
26:31from now
26:31on,
26:32if you're
26:33still willing
26:34to have a
26:34future with
26:35me.
26:35If you
26:36aren't,
26:37I will
26:38respect it,
26:39even though
26:40it is
26:41torture.
26:41I will
26:42learn to
26:42restrain my
26:43beast.
26:43I couldn't
26:44help it.
26:44I leaned
26:45down and
26:46kissed his
26:46ears.
26:46The fools
26:47at the
26:47covenant.
26:48Our
26:49compatibility
26:49is 100%.
26:50I know
26:51it.
26:52The moment
26:53I saw
26:54you,
26:54my heart
26:55resonated,
26:56my blood
26:56roared.
26:57Beyond
26:58the data,
26:59my beast
26:59and my soul
27:00recognized you
27:01first.
27:01If you
27:02felt that,
27:03why have
27:03you always
27:04been so
27:04cold?
27:05I am
27:06sorry,
27:07Lyra.
27:07There is
27:08a reason.
27:09I will
27:09take you
27:10somewhere.
27:11Perhaps
27:11then,
27:12you will
27:13understand.
27:14Kaylin brought
27:14me to a
27:15cemetery.
27:16After her
27:16first husband
27:17passed,
27:17she was
27:18left to
27:18roam the
27:18streets with
27:19her son
27:19Dorian until
27:20she met
27:20my father.
27:22My father
27:23was a high
27:23ranking official
27:24in the
27:24draconic
27:25treasury.
27:26He was a
27:26fool for
27:27love.
27:27He stopped
27:28before a
27:28grave.
27:29The woman
27:29in the
27:30photo had
27:30a gentle,
27:31haunting
27:32smile.
27:32He defied
27:33the entire
27:34kingdom to
27:34shower my
27:35mother with
27:35everything.
27:36I never
27:36saw a love
27:36like theirs.
27:38even when
27:39the blood
27:39test results
27:40showed they
27:40were only
27:4180%
27:41compatible.
27:42In his
27:43eyes,
27:43they were
27:43100%.
27:45But my
27:45mother was
27:46human,
27:47so fragile.
27:48I stood
27:48paralyzed.
27:50I couldn't
27:50imagine the
27:51abyss of
27:52grief his
27:53father must
27:53have fallen
27:54into.
27:55My father
27:55nearly took
27:56his own
27:56life,
27:56but he
27:57saw Dorian
27:57and me,
27:58and for
27:58our sake,
27:59he kept
27:59going.
28:00Kaylin
28:01turned to
28:01me.
28:01When
28:02my own
28:03blood
28:03compatibility
28:03results
28:04came in,
28:04I vowed
28:05never to
28:05let my
28:05mother's
28:06fate
28:06before you.
28:07A
28:07realization
28:07hit me.
28:09So that's
28:10why you
28:10kept me
28:10away from
28:10headquarters,
28:11and avoided
28:12public
28:12outings?
28:13Yes.
28:15My
28:15position is
28:16even more
28:16dangerous than
28:17his was.
28:18This was
28:19the only
28:19way to
28:19keep you
28:19safe.
28:20And why
28:21blacklist
28:21the
28:21covenant?
28:22Lila,
28:22we don't
28:23have to
28:23talk about
28:23this.
28:25I want
28:26you to
28:26know that
28:26I'm here
28:27for you.
28:29No matter
28:30what.
28:31I just...
28:32I don't
28:33know how
28:34to feel
28:34about all
28:34of this.
28:36You need
28:36to be
28:36careful.
28:40If I
28:40fully unleashed
28:41my dragon
28:41soul and
28:42merged with
28:42you,
28:43every inch
28:44of my skin
28:44would be
28:44etched
28:45with your
28:45scent.
28:45It would
28:46be an
28:46invitation
28:47to my
28:47enemies
28:47to destroy
28:48you.
28:49I had
28:50to hold
28:50back.
28:51The sight
28:52shattered
28:52my heart.
28:54I am
28:55sorry.
28:56What
28:57for?
28:57For
28:58letting you
28:58misunderstand.
28:59Truly,
29:00I am
29:00sorry.
29:01No,
29:02I am
29:02the one
29:02at fault.
29:03The 80%
29:04confession
29:04felt so
29:05small now.
29:06I hugged
29:06him tightly.
29:08Kaylin bent
29:09to kiss
29:09me.
29:10In that
29:10moment,
29:11I didn't
29:12care about
29:12the data
29:13or the
29:14destiny.
29:14He was
29:15my heart
29:16and he
29:17was my
29:18instinct.
29:19It was
29:20time to
29:21return home.
29:22A week
29:22later,
29:23he told
29:23me it
29:23was time
29:24to return
29:24home.
29:25The news
29:26struck me
29:26with a
29:27strange,
29:28sudden
29:28vertigo.
29:29Looking
29:30at our
29:30wedding
29:31portrait
29:31on the
29:31bedside
29:32table,
29:32I felt
29:33a flicker
29:34of grief.
29:34Hey,
29:35where are
29:35you?
29:35I'm
29:36packing.
29:36What
29:36time for
29:37the
29:37experiment?
29:38I replied
29:38to
29:38Dorian.
29:39I
29:40didn't
29:40have
29:40much
29:40to
29:40pack,
29:41but I
29:42needed
29:42to leave
29:42Kaylin a
29:43note.
29:43It took
29:44me 30
29:44minutes.
29:45Dorian
29:46didn't reply
29:47during that
29:47time.
29:48I didn't
29:49think much
29:49of it.
29:50Finished.
29:51I
29:51donned
29:51the
29:52clothes.
29:52I
29:53stepped
29:53out,
29:54feeling
29:54strangely
29:55light.
29:56Midway,
29:56my phone
29:57buzzed.
29:57It was
29:58Kaylin's
29:59adjutant.
29:59Mistress,

30:40of
30:40the
30:41first
30:41dog
30:41I

30:42People
30:43always
30:43favor
30:43their
30:44first
30:44companion.
30:45Even

30:46knew
30:46other
30:46breeds
30:46were

30:49to
30:49me,
30:49I
30:50couldn't
30:50forget
30:50him.
30:51Kaylin
30:51was
30:51the
30:51same.
30:52He
30:52was
30:53the
30:53first

30:54me
30:54with
30:54those
30:54vulnerable
30:55draconic
30:56eyes.
30:57The
30:57factory

30:58a
30:58labyrinth.
30:59I
30:59closed
30:59my
30:59eyes,
31:00tapping
31:01into
31:01the
31:0180%
31:01bond,
31:02praying
31:03for
31:03its
31:03guidance.
31:04In
31:05an
31:05instant,
31:06every

31:16and
31:17found
31:17Kaylin

31:18He
31:19was
31:19holding
31:19them

31:19alone.
31:20Lyra,
31:21you're

31:22Thank

31:22gods.
31:23He
31:23pulled
31:24me
31:24into
31:24his
31:24arms.
31:25Since
31:25you're
31:25safe,
31:25you
31:26should
31:26have
31:26stayed
31:26home.
31:27You
31:27shouldn't
31:27have
31:27come.
31:28If
31:28I
31:28had

31:28would
31:29you

31:30traps
31:30for
31:30me?
31:31Kaylin's
31:31lips
31:32thinned.
31:32He
31:33didn't
31:33deny
31:33it.
31:34I
31:34made
31:34the
31:34right
31:34choice.
31:35Suddenly,
31:36an
31:36explosion
31:37shook
31:37the
31:48reinforcements.
31:48Kaylin
31:48said.
31:49Dorian

31:51mother
31:52once

31:53He
31:54grew
31:54up
31:54here.
31:55He
31:55knows
31:55every
31:55circuit.
31:56He's

31:57diversion.
31:58When

32:00There

32:01Kaylin
32:01shook
32:02his
32:02head.
32:03I
32:03only
32:03told

32:06He
32:06knew

32:17shoved
32:17me
32:17toward
32:17him.
32:18I
32:18froze.
32:19How
32:20did
32:20you
32:20know?
32:21If I
32:22couldn't
32:22figure

32:22out,
32:23I
32:23wouldn't
32:24be
32:24High
32:24Commander.
32:25Kaylin
32:25smiled.
32:26Come

32:26us!
32:27I
32:27have

32:30kingdom,
32:30these

32:36But
32:37your
32:37safety

32:38He
32:39shoved
32:39me
32:39into
32:39Dorian's
32:40arms.
32:40The
32:41fire
32:41roared
32:42to
32:42life
32:42behind
32:42us.
32:43The

32:51Still
32:51worried

32:53Yes.

32:58You

32:59to
32:59trust

32:59Lyra.
33:00He

33:00climb
33:01to
33:01his
33:01rank
33:01through
33:01blood
33:02lines.

33:31It's

33:44He

33:45Kaelin's
33:45child.
33:46When
33:46I
33:46discovered
33:47I
33:47was
33:47pregnant,
33:48I
33:48finally
33:48understood
33:49why
33:49I'd
33:50gained
33:50those

33:54balancing
33:54his

33:57My
33:57pregnancy
33:58was
33:58seamless.
33:59I
33:59felt
33:59stronger
34:00every
34:00day.
34:01Seven
34:02months
34:02in,
34:02I

34:08A
34:08massive
34:09python
34:09slithered
34:10from
34:10the
34:11grass.
34:11But
34:12then,
34:12the
34:13python
34:13stopped,
34:14then
34:15scrambled
34:15back
34:16into
34:16the
34:16dark.
34:17A

34:19on
34:19the
34:19wind,
34:20my
