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