Short filmTranscript
00:01My back hit the peeling wall in my apartment.
00:05Alexander Blackwood had one hand braced beside my ear.
00:08His tie was loose.
00:10Two buttons on his shirt were open.
00:12His dark red eyes made it hard for me to breathe.
00:15He was the alpha of the East Coast Obsidian pack.
00:18He was also my hardest boss on Wall Street.
00:22Emily, ten minutes ago, you sent me five mating memes.
00:27I did not send them.
00:29It was your phone, your account, and your apartment.
00:33It was Pumpkin. My cat did it.
00:37Your cat wants to mate with me?
00:39It only wanted to sit on my phone.
00:42It only took ten minutes for everything to turn into this.
00:45At 11pm, my iPhone kept buzzing on the couch.
00:49The screen lit up again and again.
00:51Every message came from Alexander.
00:53I glanced at it once and tossed the phone away.
00:56Give up boss.
00:57Off duty, Emily is dead.
01:00I walked into the bathroom while hummed.
01:02I forgot to lock the screen.
01:05My fat orange cat, Pumpkin, was lying on the arm of the couch.
01:09Its eyes were fixed on the glowing screen.
01:12When I came out while drying my hair, the chat had become a disaster.
01:20Reply when you see this.
01:22I do not want to think.
01:24I only want to mate.
01:25This is a work chat.
01:28Do not ask boss.
01:29The answer is mating.
01:31You had better be joking.
01:33Work can die.
01:35Mating comes first.
01:35So, you have been secretly smelling my pheromones.
01:40I was not imagining it.
01:42I do not want to be human tonight.
01:44If you want to be my mate, say it directly.
01:47Rut, emergency kit.
01:50Emily, answer me.
01:51I am desperate too.
01:52I stared at his last line.
01:55The towel almost fell from my hand.
01:59A heavy sound came from outside the door.
02:03I rushed to the entry.
02:05The old lock had already cracked.
02:07The apartment door slammed into the wall.
02:10Alexander stood in the doorway, with night cold on his black coat.
02:14You sent me those things at midnight.
02:16Were you testing me?
02:17No.
02:19It was Pumpkin.
02:20Do not lie to me.
02:23When I am close to losing control.
02:25I am not lying.
02:27The cat is under the couch.
02:28You can ask it.
02:30Pumpkin stuck half its head out from under the couch.
02:33Then it pulled back in.
02:34Alexander did not look at it.
02:36He stepped over the broken wood and came to me.
02:40He gripped my waist and pressed me back against the wall.
02:45Do you know what those messages do to an alpha in Rut?
02:49I know that.
02:51So you should go home, take a cold shower, and cancel tomorrow morning's meeting.
02:57You still dare to manage my schedule?
03:00I am your chief secretary.
03:03It is my job.
03:05His eyes dropped to my lip.
03:06Then you should know, I do not want to talk about work right now.
03:09He lowered his head to kiss me.
03:11I grabbed his tie and forced him to stop an inch from me.
03:15Alexander, do not touch my glane.
03:17His heavy breath fell over me.
03:20Cedar pheromones almost covered me.
03:22The back of my neck grew hot.
03:23My vanilla scent also slipped out of control.
03:26His fingers tightened hard.
03:28But he did not bite.
03:29Then tell me.
03:31What do you want me to do?
03:35Only one thought stayed in my head.
03:37I had to survive and keep my $600,000 job.
03:42The report!
03:43I said at once.
03:44I will finish the quarterly risk report right now!
03:47He stayed silent for two seconds.
03:51You want to do it now?
03:53Yes.
03:54I mean, right now.
03:56His eyes moved past me to the half-open bedroom door.
04:00On the bed?
04:01Who handles files on a bed?
04:09You were the one who said right now!
04:14My face burned at once.
04:16I meant the reports.
04:18The quarterly risk report.
04:21A laptop, spreadsheets, numbers, and tomorrow morning's meeting.
04:27Then go to the study.
04:29I had just relaxed.
04:30He added in a low voice.
04:32I also enjoy desks.
04:34I almost drove him out with a folder.
04:36That night, I made Alexander sit in the farthest chair in the study.
04:39I sat across the desk from him.
04:41Between us were two laptops, a stack of files, three mugs, and one fat orange cat forced to serve as
04:47a witness.
04:48He marked my report with a red pen.
04:51I used a folder to cover the back of my neck.
04:54At 3am, he finally stood up.
04:58Before he left, he put a sticky note on my desk.
05:03Prepare supplies tomorrow morning.
05:05I was too sleepy to keep my eyes open.
05:07I only wanted this dangerous alpha to leave.
05:10Fine. Send me the list.
05:16The next morning, my phone woke me up.
05:19It was an iMessage from Alexander.
05:21I measured it.
05:23I need Wolf Custom XXL.
05:25I sat up and froze on the bed.
05:27The next message popped up at once.
05:30Standard condoms from a human drugstore are not safe.
05:33They will break.
05:34Then a bank alert appeared on my screen.
05:37I stared at the $50,000 for a full five minutes.
05:44XXL was required.
05:45Standard ones would break.
05:47There was a supply fund.
05:49I opened last night's chat.
05:51I finally understood what Alexander meant by supplies.
05:54Last night, I had agreed to prepare mating condoms for a top alpha in RUT.
05:59I called my beta best friend, Jessica, as fast as I could.
06:05Jessica, I am finished.
06:07I asked my alpha boss to mate through memes.
06:10Last night, he kicked down my door and almost made me his mate in my study.
06:14Now, he sent me $50,000 and told me to buy XXL condoms.
06:20Phone went silent for one second.
06:22Then Jessica screamed.
06:24Did you say XXL, Emily?
06:26You hit the jackpot!
06:27That is Blackwood!
06:28Do you know how many Manhattan socialettes want him to bite them?
06:31Is that the point?
06:32Of course it is!
06:33$50,000 is only the supply fund.
06:36That means he is serious!
06:37Jessica, he already drains me on Wall Street during the day.
06:40I do not want him to drain me in bed at night.
06:44But it is XXL.
06:48Jessica, stop talking!
06:50Fine, go explain it.
06:51Her voice dropped.
06:52But are you sure you do not want to think about it?
06:55I hung up.
06:56I had to go to the office.
06:58I had to clear this up today.
07:05At 9am, I walked into Obsidian headquarters.
07:08I heard Alexander raging in the glass conference room.
07:14Everyone lowered their heads.
07:16No one dared to breathe.
07:19I forced myself to take the reinvestment form and knocked on his office door.
07:26You can come in.
07:28He stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows with his back to me.
07:31I tried hard to stay professional.
07:35Alexander, I need your signature on a document.
07:39He turned around fast.
07:41His long legs crossed the whole office in two steps.
07:44He grabbed my wrist, pulled me into his arms, and buried his nose against the side of my neck.
07:51Were you waiting for me?
07:54This is the office.
07:55The door is not locked.
07:57I could not smell you in the meeting.
07:59I almost tore down the whole floor.
08:01Then you should stay away from me.
08:03I tried.
08:04His arms tightened.
08:05I failed at that.
08:06The office doors suddenly opened.
08:11Richard from Project Management looked inside.
08:15Alexander, here is the revised proposal.
08:18I shoved Alexander away and fell onto the carpet.
08:21I became the bullied employee in one second.
08:26Boss, I was wrong.
08:28Please do not cut my pay.
08:30Richard stared at my messy skirt.
08:32Then he looked at Alexander's face.
08:34His soul almost left his body.
08:36Alexander's eyes turned cold at once.
08:39Get out, now.
08:40Richard nearly lost his grip on the door handle.
08:43I used the chance to climb up,
08:46fix my skirt,
08:48and run back to my desk.
08:50As soon as I sat down,
08:51my computer showed a message from the secure office channel.
08:55That role play was very convincing.
08:58Will you beg me that pitifully tonight, too?
09:00Did you buy the supplies?
09:01I covered burning face and closed my eyes in pain.
09:05Someone help me.
09:06This wolf had lost his mind.
09:12That afternoon, in the airport VIP lounge,
09:15I learned how badly I had messed up again.
09:19Alexander held two boarding pads.
09:22His brows were locked tight.
09:25You booked economy class?
09:27The group budget is tight.
09:29Sarah said,
09:30we should save money.
09:32And then?
09:33He held up the other ticket,
09:35and gave a cold laugh.
09:37You, a delicate Omega,
09:39booked first class for yourself?
09:41I looked down.
09:43My heart almost stopped.
09:45I had switched the names.
09:47Even worse.
09:48The flight to Alaska was full.
09:50We could not change seats.
09:53So Alexander Blackbrook,
09:55the most honored top alpha in North America,
09:58had to fold himself into a poor economy seat.
10:02His long legs had nowhere to go.
10:08I sat in first class and drank champagne.
10:11Every second,
10:12I planned my own funeral in my head.
10:18Six hours later,
10:19the Alaska wind almost woke me from shock.
10:23I moved close to him and tugged on his coat sleeve.
10:29Alexander,
10:30say someone hurt you by accident.
10:32She swears she did not mean it.
10:34A great alpha would forgive her, right?
10:36He stopped walking.
10:38Snow fell on his black hair.
10:41Emily,
10:42under PAC rules I do not care about the process.
10:44I care about the result.
10:46He lifted his hand.
10:49His fingertip pressed against the gland on my neck.
10:52My whole body shook.
10:59If my Omega makes me suffer,
11:01I make her remember the cost.
11:03My heart dropped.
11:06I knew I was finished.
11:08Even the snow in Alaska could not save me tonight.
11:15Anchorage Aurora Hotel.
11:17The North American Wolf Summit Dinner.
11:19That morning,
11:20Alexander had canceled the hunting rights of several old families in a closed meeting.
11:27So tonight,
11:28every face in the room looked frozen.
11:31He had no interest in attending this event.
11:37So I came instead.
11:38As his chief secretary,
11:39I had to close the logistics agreement with Alaska's Bloodfang PAC.
11:44Miss Emily,
11:45I admit Obsidian has money.
11:47The Bloodfang leader pushed a glass of vodka to me.
11:50But we make the rules in Alaska.
11:53Drink this,
11:55and I sign.
11:56Refuse,
11:57and none of your trucks enter Anchorage.
11:59His rough fingers brushed the back of my hand on purpose.
12:03I smelled rotting swamp and cheap cigar on him.
12:06My stomach turned.
12:09But I had no way out.
12:10My $600,000 salary was right in front of me.
12:14I picked up the glass and drank it down.
12:17You handle liquor well.
12:18Have another glass.
12:19Several alphas around us started to cheer.
12:22Their pheromones pressed in layer by layer.
12:25The second glass.
12:26The third glass.
12:27My vision began to blur.
12:29Then something worse happened.
12:31The gland on the back of my neck burned.
12:34Vanilla pheromones rushed out from my collar.
12:37The alcohol triggered my heat early.
12:40The one-eyed leader's breathing grew heavy at once.
12:42He reached for my shoulder.
12:44You smell so sweet, Omega.
12:52That blackwood boy is wasting you.
12:55Tonight, you are mine.
12:58A snowstorms rushed in.
13:01The crystal chandelier shook heart.
13:04Alexander stood in the doorway.
13:06Cedar and black coffee burst across the whole room.
13:09His eyes were blood red.
13:12He stared at the hand that was one inch from touching me.
13:16Who gave you the nerve to touch my Omega?
13:18He crossed the long table, grabbed the one-eyed leader's throat,
13:21and lifted the 200-pound Alpha with one hand.
13:25Alexander's calm voice made everyone go cold.
13:28Alpha Blackwood, please spare me.
13:31Look at her with those eyes again,
13:33and I will erase blood flag from Alaska tonight.
13:37He threw the leader into the corner.
13:40Then he turned and came to me.
13:42His coat fell over me.
13:43It covered my shaking body and my wild vanilla scent.
13:47He picked me up in his arms and lowered his mouth to my ear.
13:52I came late.
13:54I am sorry.
13:56I lay against his chest.
13:58My heartbeat was a mess.
14:03This wolf had just apologized.
14:10In the elevator, vanilla and cedar filled the air.
14:14Heat burned through me again and again.
14:19I grabbed his tie and pulled it loose.
14:24Alexander, I am so hot.
14:36Emily, do not move.
14:38His voice was terrifyingly horsey.
14:41Every vein in his arms stood out.
14:44You are not clear-headed now.
14:46I am clear.
14:47I looked up at him with tears on my lashes.
14:50I know it is you.
14:56His whole body locked up.
14:58Are you sure?
15:03I am sure.
15:05Say the whole thing.
15:07I bit my lip and gripped his shirt.
15:10I want you, and only you.
15:15The elevator doors opened.
15:17We had reached the top floor.
15:20Alexander let out a low growl,
15:23and carried me fast toward the presidential suite.
15:31The heavy door closed behind us.
15:34He did not rush to pin me down.
15:36He pressed me against the full-length mirror by the entry,
15:39and rested his forehead on mine.
15:43One last time, Emily.
15:49Please stop asking.
15:53I kissed him first.
15:55I kissed him first.
15:57His control burned away.
16:00He lifted me up.
16:02The suite lights fell behind us.
16:05Cedar covered the storm outside.
16:07His kisses went from rough to hot.
16:10Then from hot to careful.
16:11My work suit fell into the floor.
16:13He used his coat to cover the cold mirror.
16:16One hand protected the back of my neck.
16:18The other held my waist.
16:19In the mirror, I saw his eyes.
16:22They were red enough to swallow me whole.
16:26Alexander, I am a little scared.
16:28You are too big.
16:30Can I take it?
16:33Look at me.
16:35His voice was deep.
16:37Hold on to me.
16:41That night started at the mirror by the entry,
16:44then moved to the living room carpet,
16:46the marble counter in the bathroom,
16:48and the ruined bed.
16:52Alexander had held back for too long.
16:54He gave all that hunger to me.
16:57Every time I tried to hide,
16:58he held my hands and made me look at him.
17:01Say my name.
17:02Tell me who you want now.
17:04His eyes were red.
17:05His voice burned low.
17:07Alexander, I want only you.
17:10I cried and gripped his shoulders.
17:13When his fangs touched my grain,
17:15my whole body froze.
17:16I grabbed his hair at once.
17:19Do not mark me, Alexander.
17:23Not now.
17:27He stopped with great effort.
17:30His breath hit my skin.
17:34In the end,
17:35he bit my colis bone.
17:37It was not a mark.
17:40It was only his sign on me.
17:43Before dawn,
17:44I did not know how many times I passed out.
17:47When I finally fell asleep,
17:49he still held me in his arms.
17:52He seemed afraid I would disappear from his hands.
17:59I woke up at noon.
18:00My whole body felt crushed,
18:02and my legs almost had no feeling.
18:05Alexander slept on the other side of the bed.
18:08His bare back was covered with marks from my nails.
18:11On the carpet,
18:12torn black wrappers lay in silence.
18:15They explained how out of control last night had been.
18:18I stared at the ceiling and started thinking.
18:21What would happen after he woke up?
18:24I knew what would happen.
18:26He would claim me in an alpha's way.
18:28He would lock me in some penthouse in New York,
18:30and tell all of Wall Street that I was his Omega.
18:33My independent woman image would vanish.
18:36My $600,000 salary would become monthly spending from him.
18:46I could not let that happen.
18:49I still had $10,000 in student loans.
18:59I forced myself to get up,
19:01picked my trench coat from the carpet,
19:03and wrapped it around me.
19:05I took out my phone and blocked Alexander on iMessage,
19:09Instagram, LinkedIn, and Venmo.
19:11I left no opening.
19:12At the door,
19:13I looked at him.
19:15He was different when he slept.
19:17The cold danger was gone.
19:20Only broad shoulders,
19:22a rising chest,
19:23and the bite mark I left on his cholera bone remained.
19:26My heart softened for no reason.
19:34Then I opened my wallet.
19:36Inside,
19:37I only had one wrinkled $5 bill and two quarters.
19:41I thought for a moment.
19:43Then I put the $5.50 under his Patek Vafirili watch on the nightstand.
19:48I am sorry, Alexander.
19:50Your service was worth more, but I am broke.
19:54I went straight to the airport,
19:56and bought the next flight to Ohio.
20:00Two days later,
20:02Silver Creek, Ohio.
20:07I shoveled manure beside the pig can
20:09and tried to empty my mind with hard labor.
20:12It did not work.
20:16Alexander Cedar scent still stuck to my skin.
20:19No shower could wash it off.
20:22The bite on my cholera bone hurt when I touched it.
20:27Each sting reminded me how wild that Alaska night had been.
20:32My backup iPhone ran.
20:40Lily's FaceTime connected.
20:42I heard glass shatter behind her.
20:44She hid under a desk, and her face was very pale.
20:49Emily, where are you?
20:53I went back home.
20:55What happened to him?
20:58He is a nuclear bomb!
21:01Right now!
21:05Lily Whisper screamed.
21:08The morning you vanished, he flew back from Alaska.
21:11The moment he entered the building, security on three floors dropped to their knees.
21:17Richard only asked where you went.
21:19Alexander threw him from the 50th floor window into the Hudson River!
21:25Is he dead?
21:27His leg is broken, but he is alive.
21:32Every finance computer got smashed!
21:35He also told the whole East Coast Elder Council that if they cannot find you,
21:40he will tear up every territory agreement!
21:44Lily's voice began to shake.
21:46Emily, what did you do to him?
21:49Did you poison his coffee?
21:54I did not poison him.
21:56I covered my face in despair.
21:59I only gave him $5.50 for the night.
22:02If the old men on Wall Street knew this, they would faint on the spot.
22:07Their Wolf King had been paid off by an Omega secretary.
22:13The change could not even buy a Big Mac.
22:16Okay, Lily, the signal is bad.
22:18Do not hang up!
22:20I still hung up.
22:24I took a nervous deep breath.
22:28There was no way this crazy wolf could follow my scent from New York Towers to Ohio Cornfields.
22:36Three eye matches from my mom popped up at the same times.
22:40They were all in caps.
22:43The third message was a photo.
22:46I opened it, and my breath stopped.
22:48It was Alexander.
22:49He wore the expensive suit I had wrinkled.
22:52It still carried dried blood.
22:54He sat on our front porch swing with a murderous air.
22:57Our German shepherd, Max, once killed a coyote.
22:59Now he tucked his tail, showed his belly, and lay at Alexander's shoes to flatter him.
23:05Alexander looked up at the person taking the photo.
23:08A cold curve touched his mouth.
23:10This beast had crossed three states and gone straight to my home.
23:15I was doomed.
23:16When I got back, my mom stood on the front porch with her arms crossed.
23:21Her eyes moved between Alexander and me.
23:24My dad leaned against the door frame and quietly ate sunflower seeds.
23:28Alexander sat on the broken wooden swing.
23:31He looked fully at ease on an Ohio corn farm, despite being a top alpha.
23:36He rested his expensive shoes on the step and looked at me calmly.
23:42You are back.
23:47I did not come back for you.
23:49I froze in the yard.
23:54I live here.
23:56Emily.
24:00My mom's voice was low.
24:01She only used that tone before things got serious.
24:05Get inside, both of you.
24:07My dad spit sunflower seed shells into his palm and stood up straight.
24:12The four of us sat at the wooden kitchen table.
24:15My mom poured Alexander a cup of coffee.
24:18Then, she sat down and went straight to the point.
24:22Who are you?
24:23What do you want with my daughter?
24:26Alexander picked up the coffee, drank some, and put it down.
24:33I am Alexander Blackwood, Alpha of the Obsidian Pack.
24:37He looked at my mom.
24:38I am serious about her.
24:43Do you call that serious?
24:45You are an Alpha from Manhattan.
24:47You came to an Ohio cornfield for an Omega secretary?
24:51Yes.
24:53I do.
24:55Then why did she run?
24:58The kitchen went quiet.
25:00Everyone looked at me.
25:02I had just opened my mouth, but Alexander spoke first.
25:07Because I moved too fast.
25:09I scared her.
25:15I almost choked on my own spit.
25:18My mom stared at him for a long time.
25:23Emily, you tell me.
25:25What do you think?
25:28I stared at the water ring from the coffee cup on the table.
25:32I could not say a word.
25:35My dad tossed the last sunflower seed into his mouth, stood up, and patted Alexander's shoulder.
25:44Ha ha ha.
25:45Stay in the guest room tonight.
25:47Farm work starts at 6 tomorrow morning if you want to stay.
25:54I understand that.
25:59My mom sighed and got up to make dinner.
26:03Only Alexander and I remained in the kitchen.
26:08He looked at me.
26:09I stared at the table and did not dare to look up.
26:12Then he called my name in a low voice.
26:14Did you mean that $5.50?
26:18I finally raised my head.
26:21That was all I had in my wallet.
26:23He stayed silent for one second.
26:26Then he pushed the coffee cup a little towards me.
26:30Drink the coffee.
26:32It is getting cold.
26:34I understood him even less.
26:39The next day, my mom took me to the town coffee shop.
26:43She said I would meet a decent young man.
26:47His name was Kevin.
26:49He was a beta and a federal postal worker.
26:52My mom had arranged a date.
26:54I had been sitting in the booth for five minutes when my phone buzzed.
26:58Where are you?
27:00I turned my phone face down on the table and pretended I did not see it.
27:05Ten minutes later, Kevin was talking about his 401k plan.
27:10I suddenly felt cold across my back.
27:13Another message popped up.
27:15Emily, answer me.
27:17I will count to three.
27:18I looked out the window and saw no one.
27:22But Cedar had crossed the whole street and entered the coffee shop.
27:28I stood up suddenly and grabbed Kevin's arm.
27:31My family farm is on fire.
27:34Can you drive me back in your pickup?
27:36The farm is on fire?
27:38Get in now.
27:40Honest Kevin grabbed his keys at once.
27:44Ten minutes later, the old Ford F-150 rushed into the Smith farm yard and kicked up a cloud of
27:50dust.
27:51I had just opened the door and had not jumped out yet.
27:55An alpha's rage hit me so hard my scalp went numb.
27:58Alexander stood in the dust.
28:00His eyes were red.
28:02He stared at me, then slowly looked at Kevin in the driver's seat.
28:06Emily, listen to me.
28:08You slept with me.
28:09Drained me until I passed out, then ran away.
28:12I endured that.
28:14He walked to the pickup and gripped the metal edge of the door.
28:17The steel bent under his finger.
28:19Kevin held the steering wheel with both hands.
28:22He could not make a sound.
28:24But you left five dollars and fifty cents.
28:26What did that mean?
28:27Did you treat me as a cheap male ascor-
28:31Kevin and I both went silence.
28:33My mom ran out from the backyard with her Remington double barrel shotgun.
28:38Alexander pointed at Kevin.
28:40His pheromones swept over him and crushed Kevin's weak scent.
28:44Who is this man?
28:45You would rather date a beta who cannot even protect you than stay with me?
28:49What does he have that I don't?
28:51Something snapped in my head.
28:53He has a stable federal job.
28:55He has full health insurance and a 401k.
28:58What can you give me?
28:59You only drain me with overtime and rut.
29:01The yard went dead quiet.
29:04Alexander's face shifted between anger and shock.
29:07Wall Street capitalists truly had no answer for that.
29:12Emily Smith, explain yourself.
29:15My mom understood the whole mess.
29:17She marched towards me with the shotgun.
29:20What did you learn in New York?
29:22You slept with a man, left him five dollars, then came home for a date.
29:28You have embarrassed the whole Smith family.
29:32Mom, Pumpkin started it and he was the one who entered rut first.
29:35I jumped out of the pickup and ran in circles around the green John Deere tractor.
29:39My mom chased me with the shotgun far too fast.
29:43Just when I thought I would die in Ohio, a tall black shadow stepped in front of me.
29:51Alexander used his broad back to shield me completely.
29:54He faced the gun and did not step back.
29:57He lifted his chest.
29:58The fury on his face turned sincere.
30:01It even looked a little broken.
30:03Mrs. Smith, please put down the gun.
30:05Everything was my fault.
30:06I peeked out from behind him.
30:10I failed to control my alpha instinct.
30:13In Alaska, I kept her for too long that night.
30:17I was too forceful.
30:19And I scared Emily into running away.
30:22My eyes went wide.
30:24This scheming wolf was playing the wounded man.
30:27If you want to hit someone, hit me.
30:30If she will give me one chance to explain, I will accept any punishment.
30:36My mom's hands trembled.
30:38The shotgun slowly lowered.
30:41She looked Alexander up and down.
30:44His messy suit could not hide his rich man's bearing.
30:47Broad shoulders, narrow waist, and very real good looks.
30:53Do you truly want to marry Emily?
30:55My mom's eyes started to shine.
30:58It was the shine of a future mother-in-law changing sides.
31:02I was about to explode.
31:05Shut up, Alexander!
31:07You have no shame!
31:09He reached back, wrapped an arm around my waist, and locked me against him.
31:14He lowered his mouth to my ear.
31:15Say one more word, and I will kiss you on your family's tractor hood until you cannot speak.
31:22I shut up on the spot.
31:24I shut up on the spot.
31:26Alexander stayed through pure nerve.
31:29The great wolf king of Wall Street and ruler of the Obsidian Syndicate moved into the guest room of a
31:35normal Ohio farm.
31:37My mom's cross-its silch, hung by the bed.
31:43He got up at exactly six the next morning.
31:47Then he took off his custom shirt.
31:49My mom looked out from the kitchen window.
31:51She looked once and pulled back.
31:54Three seconds later, she looked again.
31:57Early summer sunlight in Ohio fell on him.
32:00Sweat ran down his chest.
32:01He held a fire axe and split ten years of logs in our backyard into neat firewood before noon.
32:07In the afternoon, he crouched down and took apart the broken John Deere tractor engine with his bare hands.
32:13His hands were covered in oil, but he fixed every part and put it back.
32:20The engine started on the first try.
32:22Several wives from nearby farms hid outside the fence and craned their neckes.
32:27They forgot to talk.
32:32You are a good man.
32:34You work harder than ten bulls from town.
32:37Max, that spinless German shepherd, now ran to Alexander with a frisbee whenever he waved.
32:44Hmph! He ignored me.
32:46His real owner.
32:47I pretended to wash dishes in the kitchen and lowered my voice.
32:53Alexander, are you ignoring New York?
32:55The Elder Council is about to explode.
33:00Lily and the others can hold it.
33:03But you are Obsidian's Alpha!
33:06My Omega ran away.
33:08If I cannot keep my own mate, what kind of Alpha am I?
33:12I am not your mate!
33:14I gripped the bowl and stayed stubborn.
33:17Cedar covered me at once.
33:18He lowered his head and looked at me.
33:21Familiar heat burned in his amber eyes.
33:27Emily, do you really want to discuss ownership here?
33:31We stood beside the sink in the kitchen.
33:33My mom could walk in at any minute.
33:36I forced myself not to answer.
33:38Hmph!
33:39A small smile touched his mouth.
33:41He bent close to my ear.
33:43We will talk later.
33:47At dusk, Alexander grabbed my wrist and pulled me into the old red barn in the backyard.
33:52The wooden door locked behind us.
33:54Sunset came through the shutter gaps.
33:56The air smelled of hay and cedar.
33:58Let me go!
33:59What are you trying to do now?
34:02He came over and braced his hands on both sides of me, trapping me in front of the haystack.
34:07I came to settle accounts.
34:10I do not owe you money.
34:13You ran away.
34:14You went on a date.
34:15You left that damn five dollars and fifty cents.
34:18That was all the cash in my wallet!
34:20Is that so?
34:23His hands closed on my waist and pulled me close.
34:26I pressed both hands against his chest.
34:29Alexander, I am not your prize!
34:32The danger in his eyes paused.
34:34I know that.
34:36Then stop giving me orders.
34:37He lowered his head.
34:39His voice was rough and deep.
34:42Then I am asking you.
34:44Do not run again.
34:46My heart jumped hard.
34:48When he kissed me, I did not dodge.
34:50This kiss was different from Alaska.
34:52It was patient, skilled, and gentle.
34:54But it did not let me ignore it.
34:56It slowly broke down every wall I had.
34:58I grabbed his shoulders.
34:59My voice was already unsteady.
35:02Someone will come in.
35:05Someone is guarding outside.
35:12You even called pack guards for the door?
35:17I learned to prepare.
35:19That includes condoms.
35:21I almost laughed from anger.
35:24You are crazy!
35:25The sun sank little by little.
35:27Hay and cedar mixed in the air.
35:30Only for you.
35:32When he carried me onto the haystack,
35:34my last clear thought fell away.
35:37He still did not touch my glane.
35:39Then I grabbed his hand and pressed his palm to the back of my neck.
35:43Alexander, do not bite.
35:45Just hold me.
35:47His whole body froze.
35:49Do not bite.
35:50But you can hold me tighter.
35:52He lowered his head and rested it on my shoulder.
35:56His voice was nearly too low to hear.
36:00You will be the death of me.
36:02That dusk, my broken voice scattered across the Ohio fields.
36:06Alexander held me in his arms and said my name again and again.
36:09He needed to know I was truly still there.
36:11Later, he wrapped me in his coat and held me against the haystack.
36:14Come back to New York with me.
36:15Be Obsidian's president's wife.
36:17600,000 base salary.
36:18Use the black card as you please.
36:20Full medical benefits.
36:21I looked up at him.
36:24What else do I get?
36:27You also get me.
36:29I bit his chest.
36:31We have a deal, boss.
36:33This hungry wolf from Wall Street had eaten me clean.
36:37He did not plan to return even the bones.
36:42When the private jet landed in Manhattan, my heart went wild again.
36:48The black armored Maybach drove into the underground garage at Obsidian headquarters.
36:53I grabbed the door and tried to escape first.
36:56You take the private elevator.
36:57I will use the employee entrance.
36:59What are you afraid of?
37:01Am I that shameful?
37:03If hundreds of wolves at the company know I am with you, how can I survive here?
37:07I lowered my voice.
37:08I lead the boss batching in the break room.
37:10He gave a cold laugh.
37:11His nose moved close and smelled the side of my neck.
37:13You smell of me inside and out.
37:15Do you think their noses are broken?
37:16He kept an arm around my waist and forced me into the lobby.
37:19In the core office area, everyone looked over at once.
37:22A few co-works who usually slacked off with me rushed to my side.
37:26Their faces told me to stay strong.
37:27Emily, you are finally back.
37:29Alpha's rage almost tore down the building these past few days.
37:32We thought you had been thrown into the Hudson River.
37:33Before they finished, Vice President Marcus walked over from the hall.
37:37This old school alpha always acted superior.
37:39Today, his tone was even worse.
37:41Emily, you were absent without reason for days.
37:43Under PAC rules and HR policy, you should be fired and barred from working in the financial district.
37:48Young people suffer one small gritch and vanish.
37:50I wonder who spoiled you this much.
37:52I had no time to answer.
37:54Alexander had already walked out from behind me.
37:57Cold alpha pressure swept across the room.
38:00Marcus went pale at once.
38:02I spoiled her.
38:03Who gave you the right to lecture my person?
38:05The ICE defense station in North Dakota needs someone to shove snow.
38:09Report there tomorrow.
38:10Do not return to New York without my order.
38:12The whole room went silent.
38:13Everyone lowered their heads.
38:15He turned to me.
38:16His eyes were cold, but another heat burned beneath them.
38:19Emily, come to my office.
38:21My co-workers gave me silent pity.
38:24I opened the mahogany door.
38:26Before I could speak, he locked it from the inside.
38:29The next second, he pressed me against the door and kissed me.
38:32Cedar swallowed me at once.
38:34That is enough, Alexander.
38:35Did you not kiss me in the garage already?
38:37That only gave me enough time to last until I entered the building.
38:41His forehead rest on mine.
38:43His fangs lightly caught my lower lip.
38:46Do not make a sound.
38:47They can hear outside.
38:48Then stop messing around.
38:51He took my hand and pressed it to his chest.
38:53I am not messing around.
38:55I only need to make sure you truly came back.
38:59I wanted to scold him, but his heart was beating too fast.
39:0610 minutes later, I opened the door and tried to keep a normal face.
39:11My legs were still weak.
39:13Alexander sat behind the desk again.
39:15His face was cold.
39:16He looked untouched by what had happened.
39:19Then came the senior strategy board meeting.
39:24He sat at the head of the long table and listened to department reports.
39:28His cold presence made everyone afraid to raise their heads.
39:31The logistics director stood up with care.
39:33Alpha, for next month's live fire exercise in the Rocky Mountains,
39:36we reserved your custom tactical vest in XXL as usual.
39:40Does that work?
39:41Alexander put down the report and tapped the table.
39:43He looked at me, sitting to his right and taking notes with a small smile.
39:46You should ask Emily.
39:47She knows my real size best these days.
39:49Dozens of eyes in the meeting room turned to me at once.
39:53The Alaska suite, the Ohio barn,
39:55and the scene behind his office door exploded in my head together.
40:00It fits very well.
40:02I answered nervously.
40:04Under the table, his shoe hooked the leg of my chair.
40:08I glared at him hard.
40:09On the surface, he sat straight and gave orders about billion dollar mergers.
40:12I could not take it anymore.
40:14I lifted my heel and kicked.
40:17The analyst cried out.
40:18Sorry Alpha Blackwood, I hit the table leg by accident.
40:21An innocent beta analyst crossed from me, held his knee, his face twisted.
40:26I froze because I had kicked the wrong person.
40:28I was sorry.
40:31Meeting dismissed.
40:32Alexander held back a pleased smile and finally pulled back his foot.
40:37Emily, stay and organize the minutes.
40:39The door closed.
40:40I slapped the folder against his chest.
40:43You are a bastard!
40:45That was a meeting!
40:46He caught the forget and leaned close.
40:49You said the size fit very well.
40:51Let us review it tonight.
40:53Plaza Hotel.
40:54Top floor suite.
40:57If you dare not come, I will pick you up at your desk myself.
41:00He slipped a room key into my notebook.
41:02I stared at the key card.
41:03My ears burned.
41:05The most serious boardroom on Wall Street had almost become the place where he claimed me.
41:17After the meeting, Manhattan stood under the evening light.
41:25I returned to my desk and opened my computer.
41:29A pinned post on the company's anonymous forum had gone up three minutes ago.
41:33It already had 200 replies.
41:39Major office news.
41:41Alpha's mate is back.
41:43It is Emily.
41:44Someone saw them enter from the garage together and Emily's scent has changed.
41:54I stared at the screen.
41:56My head buzzed.
41:59My phone vibrated.
42:01Jessica sent a voice message.
42:03She sounded so excited she might burst.
42:06Emily, you are finally back.
42:08I smelled that scent on you from the 20th floor.
42:11You and Alexander real-
42:15Another voice message popped up right after it.
42:18Obsidian's elder council held an emergency meeting this afternoon.
42:22They said Alpha named a mate without PAC approval.
42:24And that breaks the rules.
42:26They want you to face a PAC eligibility review.
42:30Emily.
42:31This is serious.
42:34I put down my phone and took a deep breath.
42:37Before I could think it through, the glass door of the office opened.
42:44The person who came out was not Alexander.
42:47It was a woman I had never seen.
42:51She was tall with brown hair and a sharp black suit.
42:56Her alpha pressure was exact and controlled.
42:58It felt ready to fire.
43:05She walked to my desk and leaned down with both hands on it.
43:12You are Emily?
43:18Yes, I am.
43:27She straightened, looked me over, and smiled a little.
43:32I am Victoria Hull.
43:34I am the alpha heir of the Silverstone PAC.
43:40She paused for one second.
43:43I am also the name on Alexander's engagement agreement from three years ago.
43:52The air in the office frozen at once.
43:55Everyone around us stopped breathing for a beat.
44:02I looked up at her.
44:04Her voice was calm and sharp.
44:08He did not tell you?
44:10The alliance agreement between the two PACs has been in talks for three years.
44:15The Elder Council will sign it next week.
44:19She lowered her head and met my eyes.
44:23So before this matter is settled,
44:26you had better think clearly about your place beside him.
44:34She turned and left.
44:36Her heels made crisp sounds on the floor.
44:45No one in the office dared to speak.
44:47I sat there with my pen still in my hand.
44:50My notebook held half a line of unfinished meeting minutes.
44:54A three-year engagement agreement.
44:56An alliance agreement.
44:58Signing next week.
45:00I put down the pen.
45:01Picked up my bag.
45:03And walked to the elevator.
45:07My iPhone buzzed.
45:10Alexander's iMessages appeared one after another.
45:14Where did you go?
45:15Your desk is empty.
45:17Emily, answer me.
45:21I stared at the screen and did not reply.
45:24Another message appeared.
45:25That intern Daniel went to your desk again this afternoon.
45:29Why does that stupid beta keep coming near you?
45:32Do you think I will send him to Death Valley tomorrow to dig cactus?
45:36If you think my stamina is not enough, say it.
45:39The last message stayed on the screen.
45:41I smelled another man's scent on you.
45:43I am jealous enough to kill.
45:46I looked at that message.
45:47My finger hovered over the keyboard and did not move.
45:52Jealous enough to kill.
45:54Then what about Victoria Hole?
45:56What about that three-year engagement agreement?
45:59He was jealous enough to kill.
46:01But had he ever told me that before all this?
46:03He already owed someone else an answer?
46:07I locked the phone and put it in my bag.
46:13The elevator doors opened.
46:15I did not get out.
46:17I pressed the button for the 50th floor and went back up.
46:24If we had to fight, we would fice to face.
46:32The doors opened again.
46:34The hallway was wide and quiet.
46:37After work, only a few lights were on across the 50th floor.
46:42The light in Alexander's office was still on.
46:45I pushed the door open.
46:46He stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked at Manhattan at night.
46:51His back faced me and his phone was in his hand.
46:53He heard my steps, but he did not turn around.
47:01Victoria came to see you.
47:07Yes.
47:08I stood at the door.
47:10She said you have a three-year engagement agreement.
47:13The Elder Council will sign it next week.
47:16The office stayed quiet for a few seconds.
47:20He turned around.
47:22His eyes were normal amber, not red.
47:26But there was something in them I had never seen.
47:30It was not anger.
47:32It was not an excuse.
47:36That agreement was signed by my father three years ago.
47:41He said it in a lois.
47:49But you did not tear it up.
47:53He stayed silent.
47:55You did not tear it up, Alexander.
47:57I looked at him.
48:00Before Alaska.
48:01Before that night in Brooklyn.
48:03Before everything that happened.
48:05You never told me it existed.
48:09He stayed silent for a long time.
48:11Only the distant noise of Manhattan streets reached the office.
48:1550 slores softened it until it sounded small and far away.
48:19I know.
48:20He finally said.
48:22That was my fault.
48:24What happens now?
48:28He walked over.
48:30One step.
48:31Two steps.
48:32Three steps.
48:34He stopped in front of me.
48:37He lowered his head.
48:39He was so close that I could see my reflection in his eyes.
48:43Now I tear it up.
48:49That is all?
48:51That is all.
48:54His hand covered my face.
48:56His thumb brushed my cheekbone.
48:59Emily.
49:01I cannot give you a clean start.
49:03But I can give you a result.
49:05I looked at him.
49:11If you tear up that agreement,
49:12the whole Elder Council will explode.
49:15Silverstone Pack will turn against you.
49:20I know that.
49:22Your business will suffer.
49:25At least for two quarters.
49:27I know that.
49:33Is it worth it?
49:34He did not answer.
49:36He lowered his head and kissed me.
49:38This time, it was not possession.
49:40It was not loss of control.
49:42The kiss was light and slow.
49:44It answered without words.
49:47The next morning, Obsidian Headquarters received a notice.
49:50It came from Alexander himself, and it went to the entire Elder Council.
49:54The Blackwood and Hale marriage agreement ends today.
49:57The reason is simple.
49:59The Alpha refuses to carry it out.
50:01Bring all objections to me directly.
50:03This is signed AB.
50:05The Elder Council group chat produced 327 messages in 40 minutes.
50:10Marcus sent a shaking voice message from North Dakota.
50:13Alpha, are you sure?
50:14What about Silverstone?
50:16I am sure.
50:17Alexander replied with three words.
50:28I sat at my desk and stared at the screenshot forwarded to me.
50:32I stayed silent for a long time.
50:36That afternoon, after to work, we entered the private elevator together.
50:41The space was tight.
50:43The elevator started to go down.
50:49The silence lasted about 10 seconds.
50:53The lights flickered.
50:55The elevator suddenly stopped in midair.
50:59Alexander's pheromones burst out in the dark.
51:03He pressed me against the cold Elder wall.
51:06His hot hand slid between my fingers and locked with mine.
51:15Emily.
51:16In the dark, his voice was low and rough enough to weaken my knees.
51:21I held back all day.
51:23The elevator lights came back on.
51:26His phone vibrated.
51:30He sent me an iMessage right in front of me.
51:33What do you want to eat at the Plaza Hotel tonight?
51:34We can forget dinner.
51:36I will eat you first.
51:37I already booked the top floor presidential suite.
51:40Tonight, if you agree, I want to give you the final mark.
51:45I stared at the message.
51:47My heart beat out of order.
51:54What if I do not agree?
51:56Alexander looked at me.
51:59The red in his eyes slowly faded.
52:03Then I wait.
52:06How long will you wait?
52:08Until you say yes with your own mouth.
52:11Ten minutes later, the Maybach stopped at the Plaza Hotel.
52:15He opened the heavy suite door and stepped inside first.
52:20Then he turned back and held out his hand to me.
52:26I stood at the door and did not go in right away.
52:32Alexander, I am still outside the door.
52:38What do you mean?
52:42You cannot give me orders tonight.
52:46His throat moved.
52:50I will not.
52:54I will not.
52:55You cannot decide for me either.
52:57I will not.
53:00If I tell you to stop, you stop.
53:02He came back and stood inside the room.
53:04He lowered his head to me.
53:06I swear to you.
53:08I looked at him and finally put my hand in his palm.
53:12The door closed behind us.
53:15This time, there was no heat, no rut, no alcohol, and no mistake.
53:20There was only him, me, and the Manhattan Knight outside the window.
53:29He kissed me slowly.
53:31He checked every answer.
53:33I grabbed his shirt and pulled him closer.
53:37Alexander, I have something to say.
53:40Emily.
53:45I am here.
53:50Now it is okay.
53:52His breathing broke.
53:59Say it clearly, Emily.
54:01I lifted my head and met his eyes.
54:07I want you to mark me.
54:09At that moment, those words hit him hard.
54:11Red slowly burned into his eyes, but he did not lose control again.
54:15He pulled me into his arms, kissed my forehead, the corner of my eye, and the corner of my mouth.
54:21At last, he stopped at the side of my neck.
54:26If it hurts, hold on to me.
54:34I have been holding on to you the whole time.
54:40He gave a low laugh.
54:42His voice was horsey.
54:51When his fangs tierced my glane, pain shook my whole body.
54:57But his hand kept holding mine.
55:01His pheromones entered my blood.
55:04Cedar, black coffee, the late-night wind of Manhattan, and the alpha who chased me all the way to an
55:11Ohio cornfield all sank into my bones.
55:15From this moment on, the mark was real.
55:19He pulled out his fangs and kissed the wound.
55:22His touch was gentle.
55:24It made up for all the tenderness that came too late.
55:28He bent close and called me in a low voice.
55:32All of Wall Street knows now.
55:35His voice was low and carried something I had never heard from him before.
55:41You are my mate.
55:43I leaned against his chest and closed my eyes.
55:48Then you are mine too.
55:51His heartbeat struck my ear.
55:53I am yours.
55:57Outside the window,
55:58Manhattan's lights poured down from more than 50 floors up.
56:03The city was bright and clear.
56:07I thought everything may have been set on that night when Pumpkin used my phone as a scratching pad.
56:12This hungry wolf from Wall Street had eaten me from head to toe.
56:16He did not plan to return even the bones.
56:19To be honest,
56:21being eaten by him felt deadly and addictive.
