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.
01:23I 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.
01:36So, 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.
01:48Emergency kit.
01:50Emily, answer me.
01:51I am desperate too.
01:53I 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.
02:21Do not lie to me.
02:23When I am close to losing control.
02:25I am not lying.
02:26The 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,
02:54and 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.
03:07I do not want to talk about work right now.
03:10He 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.
03:21The 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?
03:34Only 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 report.
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 3 a.m., he finally stood up.
04:58Before he left, he put a sticky note on my desk.
05:02Prepare supplies tomorrow morning.
05:04I was too sleepy to keep my eyes open.
05:07I only wanted this dangerous alpha to leave.
05:10Fine.
05:11Send 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.
06:11I opened last night's chat.
06:11And almost made me his maid in my study.
06:40I do not want him to drain me in bed at night.
06:44But it is XXL.
06:48Jessica!
06:49Jessica!
06:49Stop talking!
06:50Fine.
06:51Go explain it.
06:52Her voice dropped.
06:53But 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 9 a.m., 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.
07:27He stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows with his back to me.
07:31I tried hard to stay professional.
07:36Alexander, I need your signature on a document.
07:39He turned around fast.
07:41His long legs crossed the whole office in two steps.
07:45He grabbed my wrist, pulled me into his arms, and buried his nose against the side of my neck.
07:52Were you waiting for me?
07:54This is the office.
07:55The door is not locked.
07:56I 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.
08:07The 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.
08:20I 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, fix my skirt, and run back to my desk.
08:50As soon as I sat down, my 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, I 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.
09:28Sarah said, we should save money.
09:32And then?
09:33He held up the other ticket and gave a cold laugh.
09:37You, a delicate Omega, booked 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, the 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, I planned my own funeral in my head.
10:17Six hours later, the Alaska wind almost woke me from shock.
10:23I moved close to him and tugged on his coat sleeve.
10:29Alexander, say 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, under PAC rules, I do not care about the process.
10:45I care about the result.
10:46He lifted his hand.
10:49His fingertip pressed against the gland on my neck.
10:52My whole body shook.
10:58If 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, Alexander had canceled the hunting rights of several old families in a closed meeting.
11:27So tonight, every face in the room looked frozen.
11:31He had no interest in attending this event.
11:36So I came instead.
11:38As his chief secretary, I had to close the logistics agreement with Alaska's Bloodfang PAC.
11:44Miss Emily, I 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, and I sign.
11:56Refuse, and 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.
12:07My 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.
13:10His 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, and 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, and 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.
14:09In 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.
15:12And only you.
15:15The elevator doors opened.
15:17We had reached the top floor.
15:20Alexander let out a low growl and 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 and rested his forehead on mine.
15:43One last time, Emily.
15:49Please stop asking.
15:53I kissed him first.
15:57His control burned away.
16:00He lifted me up.
16:02The sweet 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.
16:14He 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!
16:26I 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.
17:08I 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 colisbone.
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,
17:50he 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.
19:06I 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.
19:18The cold danger was gone.
19:19Only 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.
19:37Inside,
19:37I only had one wrinkled $5 bill and two quarters.
19:41I thought for a moment.
19:43Then I put the $5.50
19:45under his Patek Vafirili watch on the nightstand.
19:48I am sorry,
19:50Alexander.
19:50Your service was worth more,
19:52but 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,
20:03Ohio.
20:06I shoveled manure beside the pig pen
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's 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,
20:46and her face was very pale.
20:48Emily,
20:49where are you?
20:54I went back home.
20:56What happened to him?
20:58He is a nuclear bomb!
21:01Right now!
21:05Lily Whisper screamed.
21:08The morning you vanished,
21:10he flew back from Alaska.
21:11The moment he entered the building,
21:13security on three floors dropped to their knees.
21:17Richard only asked where you went.
21:19Alexander threw him from the 50th floor window
21:22into the Hudson River!
21:25Is he dead?
21:27His leg is broken,
21:30but he is alive.
21:33Every finance computer got smashed.
21:35He also told the whole East Coast Elder Council
21:38that if they cannot find you,
21:40he will tear up every territory agreement.
21:44Lily's voice began to shake.
21:46Emily,
21:47what 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,
22:05they 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,
22:17the signal is bad.
22:18Do not hang up!
22:20I still hung up.
22:24I took a nervous deep breath.
22:27There was no way this crazy wolf
22:30could follow my scent
22:31from New York Towers
22:33to Ohio cornfields.
22:36Three eye matches from my mom
22:38popped up at the same times.
22:40They were all in caps.
22:43The third message was a photo.
22:46I opened it,
22:47and my breath stopped.
22:48It was Alexander.
22:50He wore the expensive suit I had wrinkled.
22:52It still carried dried blood.
22:54He sat on our front porch swing
22:56with a murderous air.
22:57Our German shepherd, Max,
22:58once killed a coyote.
22:59Now he tucked his tail,
23:01showed his belly,
23:01and lay at Alexander's shoes
23:03to flatter him.
23:05Alexander looked up
23:06at the person taking the photo.
23:08A cold curve touched his mouth.
23:11This beast had crossed three states
23:13and gone straight to my home.
23:15I was doomed.
23:17When I got back,
23:18my mom stood on the front porch
23:20with her arms crossed.
23:21Her eyes moved between Alexander and me.
23:24My dad leaned against the door frame
23:26and quietly ate sunflower seeds.
23:28Alexander sat on the broken wooden swing.
23:31He looked fully at ease
23:33on an Ohio corn farm,
23:34despite being a top alpha.
23:36He rested his expensive shoes
23:38on the step
23:38and 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
24:03before things got serious.
24:04Get inside, both of you.
24:07My dad spit sunflower seed shells
24:09into his palm
24:10and stood up straight.
24:12The four of us sat
24:13at the wooden kitchen table.
24:15My mom poured Alexander
24:17a cup of coffee.
24:17Then, she sat down
24:20and went straight to the point.
24:22Who are you?
24:23What do you want with my daughter?
24:27Alexander picked up the coffee,
24:29drank some,
24:30and put it down.
24:33I am Alexander Blackwood,
24:35alpha of the Obsidian Pack.
24:37He looked at my mom.
24:38I am serious about her.
24:43Do you call that serious?
24:44You are an alpha from Manhattan.
24:47You came to an Ohio cornfield
24:49for an Omega secretary?
24:52Yes.
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,
25:04but 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
25:20for a long time.
25:23Emily,
25:24you tell me.
25:25What do you think?
25:29I stared at the water ring
25:30from the coffee cup on the table.
25:32I could not say a word.
25:35My dad tossed the last sunflower seed
25:37into his mouth,
25:38stood up,
25:39and patted Alexander's shoulder.
25:45Stay in the guest room tonight.
25:47Farm work starts at 6 tomorrow morning
25:50if you want to stay.
25:54I understand that.
25:59My mom sighed
26:00and got up to make dinner.
26:03Only Alexander and I
26:04remained in the kitchen.
26:08He looked at me.
26:09I stared at the table
26:10and did not dare to look up.
26:12Then he called my name
26:13in 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
26:28a little towards me.
26:30Drink the coffee.
26:32It is getting cold.
26:34I understood him even less.
26:39The next day,
26:40my mom took me
26:41to the town coffee shop.
26:43She said I would meet
26:45a decent young man.
26:47His name was Kevin.
26:49He was a beta
26:50and a federal postal worker.
26:52My mom had arranged a date.
26:54I had been sitting in the booth
26:56for five minutes
26:57when my phone buzzed.
26:58Where are you?
27:00I turned my phone
27:01face down on the table
27:02and pretended
27:03I did not see it.
27:05Ten minutes later,
27:06Kevin was talking
27:07about his 401k plan.
27:10I suddenly felt cold
27:11across my back.
27:13Another message popped up.
27:15Emily, answer me.
27:17I will count to three.
27:19I looked out the window
27:20and saw no one.
27:22But Cedar had crossed
27:23the whole street
27:24and entered the coffee shop.
27:28I stood up suddenly
27:30and grabbed Kevin's arm.
27:32My family farm is on fire.
27:34Can you drive me back
27:35in your pickup?
27:36The farm is on fire?
27:38Get in now.
27:40Honest Kevin grabbed
27:41his keys at once.
27:44Ten minutes later,
27:45the old Ford F-150
27:47rushed into the Smith farmyard
27:49and kicked up
27:50a cloud of dust.
27:51I had just opened the door
27:53and had not jumped out yet.
27:55An alpha's rage
27:56hit me so hard
27:57my scalp went numb.
27:58Alexander stood in the dust.
28:00His eyes were red.
28:02He stared at me,
28:03then slowly looked at Kevin
28:05in the driver's seat.
28:06Emily, listen to me.
28:08You slept with me,
28:10drained me until I passed out
28:11then ran away.
28:12I endured that.
28:13He walked to the pickup
28:15and gripped the metal edge
28:16of the door.
28:17The steel bent
28:18under his finger.
28:19Kevin held the steering wheel
28:21with both hands.
28:22He could not make a sound.
28:23But you left
28:24five dollars and fifty cents.
28:26What did that mean?
28:28Did you treat me
28:28as a cheap male escort?
28:32Kevin and I
28:32both went silence.
28:34My mom ran out
28:35from the backyard
28:35with her Remington
28:36double barrel shotgun.
28:38Alexander pointed at Kevin.
28:40His pheromones
28:41swept over him
28:42and crushed
28:43Kevin's weak scent.
28:44Who is this man?
28:45You would rather date
28:46a beta who cannot
28:47even protect you
28:48than stay with me?
28:49What does he have
28:50that I don't?
28:51Something snapped
28:52in my head.
28:53He has a stable
28:54federal job.
28:55He has full health insurance
28:57and a 401k.
28:58What can you give me?
28:59You only drain me
29:00with overtime and rut.
29:02The yard went dead quiet.
29:04Alexander's face shifted
29:05between anger and shock.
29:07Wall Street capitalists
29:08truly had no answer
29:09for that.
29:12Emily Smith,
29:13explain yourself.
29:15My mom understood
29:16the whole mess.
29:17She marched towards me
29:19with the shotgun.
29:20What did you learn
29:21in New York?
29:22You slept with a man,
29:24left him five dollars,
29:26then came home
29:27for a date.
29:28You have embarrassed
29:29the whole Smith family.
29:32Mom, Pumpkin started it
29:33and he was the one
29:34who entered rut first.
29:35I jumped out of the pickup
29:37and ran in circles
29:37around the green
29:38John Deere tractor.
29:39My mom chased me
29:40with the shotgun
29:41far too fast.
29:43Just when I thought
29:44I would die in Ohio,
29:46a tall black shadow
29:47stepped in front of me.
29:51Alexander used his broad back
29:53to shield me completely.
29:54He faced the gun
29:55and did not step back.
29:57He lifted his chest.
29:59The fury on his face
30:00turned sincere.
30:01It even looked
30:02a little broken.
30:03Mrs. Smith,
30:04please put down the gun.
30:05Everything was my fault.
30:06I peeked out
30:07from behind him.
30:10I failed to control
30:11my alpha instinct.
30:13In Alaska,
30:14I kept her for too long
30:15that night.
30:17I was too forceful
30:19and I scared Emily
30:21into running away.
30:22My eyes went wide.
30:24This scheming wolf
30:25was playing the wounded man.
30:28If you want to hit someone,
30:29hit me.
30:30If she will give me
30:31one chance to explain,
30:33I will accept
30:34any punishment.
30:36My mom's hands trembled.
30:38The shotgun slowly lowered.
30:41She looked Alexander
30:43up and down.
30:43His messy suit
30:45could not hide
30:46his rich man's bearing,
30:47broad shoulders,
30:48narrow waist,
30:49and very real good looks.
30:53Do you truly want
30:55to marry Emily?
30:56My mom's eyes
30:57started to shine.
30:58It was the shine
30:59of a future mother-in-law
31:01changing sides.
31:02I was about to explode.
31:05Shut up, Alexander!
31:07You have no shame!
31:09He reached back,
31:10wrapped an arm
31:11around my waist
31:12and locked me against him.
31:14He lowered his mouth
31:15to my ear.
31:15Say one more word
31:16and I will kiss you
31:17on your family's tractor hood
31:19until you cannot speak.
31:22I shut up on the spot.
31:26Alexander stayed
31:27through pure nerve.
31:29The great wolf king
31:30of Wall Street
31:31and ruler
31:32of the Obsidian Syndicate
31:33moved into the guest room
31:35of a normal Ohio farm.
31:37My mom's cross
31:39its silch
31:39hung by the bed.
31:43He got up at exactly 6
31:45the next morning.
31:47Then he took off
31:48his custom shirt.
31:49My mom looked out
31:50from the kitchen window.
31:52She looked once
31:53and pulled back.
31:54Three seconds later,
31:56she looked again.
31:57Early summer sunlight
31:58in Ohio fell on him.
32:00Sweat ran down his chest.
32:01He held a fire axe
32:03and split 10 years of logs
32:04in our backyard
32:05into neat firewood
32:06before noon.
32:07In the afternoon,
32:08he crouched down
32:09and took apart
32:10the broken John Deere
32:11tractor engine
32:12with his bare hands.
32:13His hands were covered in oil,
32:15but he fixed every part
32:16and put it back.
32:20The engine started
32:21on the first try.
32:22Several wives
32:23from nearby farms
32:24hid outside the fence
32:25and craned their neckes.
32:27They forgot to talk.
32:32You are a good man.
32:34You work harder
32:34than 10 bulls from town.
32:37Max,
32:38that spinless German shepherd,
32:40now ran to Alexander
32:42with a frisbee
32:42whenever he waved.
32:44Hmm,
32:45he ignored me.
32:46His real owner.
32:48I pretended to wash dishes
32:49in the kitchen
32:50and lowered my voice.
32:53Alexander,
32:54are you ignoring New York?
32:55The elder council
32:56is about to explode.
33:00Lily and the others
33:01can hold it.
33:03But you are
33:04Obsidian's alpha.
33:06My omega ran away.
33:08If I cannot keep
33:09my own mate,
33:10what kind of alpha am I?
33:12I am not your mate.
33:14I gripped the bowl
33:15and stayed stubborn.
33:17Cedar covered me at once.
33:18He lowered his head
33:20and looked at me.
33:21Familiar heat burned
33:23in his amber eyes.
33:27Emily,
33:28do you really want
33:29to discuss ownership here?
33:31We stood beside
33:32the sink in the kitchen.
33:33My mom could walk in
33:35at any minute.
33:36I forced myself
33:37not to answer.
33:39A small smile
33:40touched his mouth.
33:41He bent close
33:42to my ear.
33:43We will talk later.
33:47At dusk,
33:48Alexander grabbed my wrist
33:49and pulled me
33:50into the old red barn
33:51in the backyard.
33:52The wooden door
33:53locked behind us.
33:54Sunset came through
33:55the shutter gaps.
33:56The air smelled
33:57of hay and cedar.
33:58Let me go!
33:59What are you trying
34:00to do now?
34:02He came over
34:03and braced his hands
34:04on both sides of me,
34:06trapping me
34:06in front of the haystack.
34:08I 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
34:17five dollars and fifty cents.
34:18That was all the cash
34:19in my wallet.
34:20Is that so?
34:23His hands closed
34:24on my waist
34:25and pulled me close.
34:26I pressed both hands
34:28against his chest.
34:29Alexander,
34:30I am not your prize!
34:32The danger in his eyes paused.
34:34I know that.
34:36Then stop giving me orders.
34:38He lowered his head.
34:39His voice was rough
34:41and deep.
34:42Then I am asking you.
34:44Do not run again.
34:46My heart jumped hard.
34:48When he kissed me,
34:49I did not dodge.
34:50This kiss was different
34:51from Alaska.
34:52It was patient,
34:53skilled,
34:54and gentle,
34:54but it did not
34:55let me ignore it.
34:56It slowly broke down
34:57every wall I had.
34:58I grabbed his shoulders.
34:59My voice was already
35:01unsteady.
35:02Someone will come in.
35:05Someone is guarding outside.
35:12You even called pack guards
35:14for the door?
35:17I learned to prepare.
35:19That includes condoms.
35:21I almost laughed
35:22from anger.
35:24You are crazy.
35:25The sun sank
35:26little by little.
35:28Hay and cedar
35:29mixed in the air.
35:30Only for you.
35:32When he carried me
35:33onto the haystack,
35:34my last clear thought
35:36fell away.
35:37He still did not
35:38touch my glane.
35:39Then I grabbed his hand
35:41and pressed his palm
35:42to the back of my neck.
35:43Alexander,
35:44do 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
35:53and rested it
35:54on my shoulder.
35:56His voice was nearly
35:57too low to hear.
36:00You will be
36:01the death of me.
36:02That dusk,
36:03my broken voice
36:03scattered across
36:04the Ohio fields.
36:06Alexander held me
36:06in his arms
36:07and said my name
36:08again and again.
36:09He needed to know
36:10I was truly still there.
36:11Later,
36:11he wrapped me in his coat
36:12and held me
36:13against the haystack.
36:14Come back to New York
36:15with me.
36:15Be Obsidian's president
36:16wife.
36:17$600,000 base salary.
36:18Use the black card
36:19as you please.
36:20Full medical benefits.
36:21I looked up at him.
36:24What else do I get?
36:28You also get me.
36:29I bit his chest.
36:31We have a deal, boss.
36:33This hungry wolf
36:35from Wall Street
36:35had eaten me clean.
36:36He did not plan
36:37to return even the bones.
36:42When the private jet
36:43landed in Manhattan,
36:45my heart went wild again.
36:48The black armored
36:49Maybach drove
36:50into the underground garage
36:51at Obsidian headquarters.
36:53I grabbed the door
36:54and tried to escape first.
36:56You take the private elevator.
36:57I will use
36:58the employee entrance.
36:59What are you afraid of?
37:01Am I that shameful?
37:02No.
37:03If hundreds of wolves
37:04at the company
37:04know I am with you,
37:05how can I survive here?
37:07I lowered my voice.
37:08I lead the boss
37:08batching in the break room.
37:10He gave a cold laugh.
37:11His nose moved close
37:12and smelled the side
37:12of my neck.
37:13You smell of me
37:14inside and out.
37:15Do you think
37:15their noses are broken?
37:16He kept an arm
37:17around my waist
37:17and forced me
37:18into the lobby.
37:19In the core office area,
37:20everyone looked over
37:21at once.
37:22A few co-works
37:23who usually slacked off
37:24with me rushed to my side.
37:26Their faces told me
37:27to stay strong.
37:27Emily,
37:28you are finally back.
37:29Alpha's rage
37:30almost tore down
37:30the building
37:31these past few days.
37:32We thought you had been
37:32thrown into the Hudson River.
37:34Before they finished,
37:35Vice President Marcus
37:36walked over from the hall.
37:37This old school alpha
37:38always acted superior.
37:39Today,
37:40his tone was even worse.
37:41Emily,
37:42you were absent
37:42without reason for days.
37:43Under PAC rules
37:44and HR policy,
37:45you should be fired
37:46and barred from working
37:47in the financial district.
37:48Young people suffer
37:49one small gritch
37:50and vanish.
37:50I wonder who spoiled
37:51you this much.
37:52I had no time to answer.
37:54Alexander had already
37:55walked out from behind me.
37:57Cold alpha pressure
37:58swept across the room.
38:00Marcus went pale
38:01at once.
38:02I spoiled her.
38:03Who gave you the right
38:04to lecture my person?
38:06The ICE Defense Station
38:07in North Dakota
38:07needs someone to shove snow.
38:09Report there tomorrow.
38:10Do not return to New York
38:11without my order.
38:12The whole room went silent.
38:14Everyone lowered their heads.
38:15He turned to me.
38:16His eyes were cold,
38:17but another heat
38:18burned beneath them.
38:19Emily,
38:19come to my office.
38:21My co-workers
38:22gave me silent pity.
38:24I opened the mahogany door.
38:26Before I could speak,
38:28he locked it from the inside.
38:29The next second,
38:31he pressed me against the door
38:32and kissed me.
38:32Cedar swallowed me at once.
38:34That is enough, Alexander.
38:35Did you not kiss me
38:36in the garage already?
38:37That only gave me enough time
38:39to last until I entered
38:40the building.
38:41His forehead rest on mine.
38:43His fangs lightly
38:44caught my lower lip.
38:46Do not make a sound.
38:47They can hear outside.
38:49Then stop messing around.
38:51He took my hand
38:52and pressed it to his chest.
38:53I am not messing around.
38:55I only need to make sure
38:56you truly came back.
38:59I wanted to scold him,
39:00but his heart was beating
39:02too fast.
39:06Ten minutes later,
39:07I opened the door
39:08and tried to keep
39:09a normal face.
39:11My legs were still weak.
39:13Alexander sat behind
39:14the desk again.
39:15His face was cold.
39:16He looked untouched
39:17by what had happened.
39:19Then came the
39:20senior strategy board meeting.
39:25He sat at the head
39:26of the long table
39:26and listened to
39:27department reports.
39:28His cold presence
39:29made everyone afraid
39:30to raise their heads.
39:31The logistics director
39:32stood up with care.
39:33Alpha, for next month's
39:34live fire exercise
39:35in the Rocky Mountains,
39:36we reserved your
39:37custom tactical vest
39:38in XXL as usual.
39:40Does that work?
39:41Alexander put down
39:41the report
39:42and tapped the table.
39:43He looked at me,
39:44sitting to his right
39:44and taking notes
39:45with a small smile.
39:46You should ask Emily.
39:47She knows my real size
39:48best these days.
39:49Dozens of eyes
39:50in the meeting room
39:51turned to me at once.
39:53The Alaska suite,
39:54the Ohio barn,
39:55and the scene
39:56behind his office door
39:58exploded in my head
39:59together.
40:00It fits very well.
40:02I answered nervously.
40:04Under the table,
40:06his shoe hooked
40:07the leg of my chair.
40:08I glared at him hard.
40:09On the surface,
40:10he sat straight
40:11and gave orders
40:11about billion-dollar mergers.
40:13I could not take it anymore.
40:14I lifted my heel
40:16and kicked.
40:17The analyst cried out.
40:19Sorry, Alpha Blackwood.
40:20I hit the table leg
40:21by accident.
40:22An innocent beta analyst
40:23crossed from me,
40:24held his knee.
40:25His face twisted.
40:26I froze because
40:27I had kicked
40:27the wrong person.
40:28I was sorry.
40:31Meeting dismissed.
40:32Alexander held back
40:33a pleased smile
40:34and finally pulled
40:35back his foot.
40:37Emily,
40:38stay and organize
40:38the minutes.
40:39The door closed.
40:40I slapped the folder
40:41against his chest.
40:43You are a bastard.
40:45That was a meeting.
40:46He caught the forge
40:47and leaned close.
40:49You said the size
40:49fit very well.
40:51Let us review it tonight.
40:53Plaza Hotel.
40:54Top floor suite.
40:57If you dare not come,
40:58I will pick you up
40:59at your desk myself.
41:00He slipped a room key
41:01into my notebook.
41:02I stared at the key card.
41:04My ears burned.
41:05The most serious boardroom
41:06on Wall Street
41:07had almost become
41:08the place
41:08where he claimed me.
41:17After the meeting,
41:19Manhattan stood
41:20under the evening light.
41:25I returned to my desk
41:27and opened my computer.
41:29A pinned post
41:30on the company's
41:31anonymous forum
41:32had gone up
41:32three minutes ago.
41:33It already had
41:34200 replies.
41:39Major office news.
41:41Alpha's mate is back.
41:43It is Emily.
41:44Someone saw them
41:45enter from the garage together
41:47and Emily's scent
41:48has 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
42:05she might burst.
42:06Emily,
42:07you are finally back.
42:08I smelled that scent
42:09on you from the 20th floor.
42:11You and Alexander
42:12really...
42:15Another voice message
42:16popped up right after it.
42:18Obsidian's elder council
42:19held an emergency meeting
42:21this afternoon.
42:22They said Alpha named a mate
42:23without PAC approval
42:24and that breaks the rules.
42:26They want you to face
42:27a PAC eligibility review.
42:30Emily,
42:31this is serious.
42:34I put down my phone
42:35and took a deep breath.
42:37Before I could think it through,
42:39the glass door
42:40of the office opened.
42:44The person who came out
42:45was not Alexander.
42:46It was a woman
42:48I had never seen.
42:51She was tall
42:53with brown hair
42:54and a sharp black suit.
42:56Her alpha pressure
42:56was exact and controlled.
42:58It felt ready to fire.
43:05She walked to my desk
43:07and leaned down
43:07with both hands on it.
43:27She straightened,
43:29looked me over
43:30and smiled a little.
43:32I am Victoria Hull.
43:34I am the alpha heir
43:35of the Silverstone pack.
43:39She paused for one second.
43:43I am also the name
43:44on Alexander's engagement agreement
43:46from three years ago.
43:52The air in the office
43:53frozen at once.
43:55Everyone around us
43:56stopped breathing for a beat.
44:02I looked up at her.
44:04Her voice was calm
44:05and sharp.
44:08He did not tell you?
44:10The alliance agreement
44:11between the two packs
44:12has been in talks
44:14for three years.
44:16The Elder Council
44:17will sign it next week.
44:19She lowered her head
44:20and met my eyes.
44:23So before this matter
44:25is settled,
44:27you had better think clearly
44:28about your place
44:29beside him.
44:35She turned and left.
44:36Her heels made
44:37crisp sounds
44:38on the floor.
44:45No one in the office
44:46dared to speak.
44:46I sat there
44:47with my pen
44:48still in my hand.
44:50My notebook held
44:51half a line
44:52of unfinished
44:52meeting minutes.
44:54A three-year
44:55engagement agreement.
44:57An 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
45:11appeared one after another.
45:14Where did you go?
45:15Your desk is empty.
45:17Emily, answer me.
45:21I stared at the screen
45:22and did not reply.
45:24Another message appeared.
45:25That intern Daniel
45:27went to your desk
45:27again this afternoon.
45:29Why does that stupid beta
45:30keep coming near you?
45:32Do you think I will send him
45:33to Death Valley tomorrow
45:34to dig cactus?
45:36If you think my stamina
45:37is not enough,
45:38say it.
45:39The last message
45:40stayed on the screen.
45:40I smelled another man's
45:42scent on you.
45:43I am jealous enough
45:44to kill.
45:46I looked at that message.
45:48My finger hovered
45:48over the keyboard
45:49and did not move.
45:52Jealous enough to kill.
45:54Then what about
45:55Victoria Hole?
45:56What about that
45:57three-year engagement
45:58agreement?
45:59He was jealous
46:00enough to kill.
46:01But had he ever
46:02told me that
46:03before all this?
46:04He already owed
46:05someone else an answer?
46:07I locked the phone
46:09and put it in my bag.
46:13The elevator doors opened.
46:16I did not get out.
46:17I pressed the button
46:18for the 50th floor
46:19and went back up.
46:24If we had to fight,
46:25we would feist to face.
46:32The doors opened again.
46:34The hallway was wide
46:36and quiet.
46:37After work,
46:38only a few lights
46:39were on across
46:40the 50th floor.
46:42The light in Alexander's office
46:44was still on.
46:45I pushed the door open.
46:46He stood before
46:47the floor-to-ceiling windows
46:49and looked at Manhattan
46:50at night.
46:51His back faced me
46:52and his phone
46:53was in his hand.
46:54He heard my steps,
46:55but he did not turn around.
47:01Victoria came to see you.
47:07Yes.
47:08I stood at the door.
47:10She said you have
47:11a three-year
47:11engagement agreement.
47:13The Elder Council
47:14will sign it next week.
47:16The office stayed quiet
47:18for a few seconds.
47:20He turned around.
47:22His eyes were normal amber,
47:24not red.
47:26But there was something
47:27in them I had never seen.
47:30It was not anger.
47:32It was not an excuse.
47:36That agreement
47:38was signed by my father
47:39three years ago.
47:41He said it
47:42Not by me.
47:43In a lois.
47:49But you did not tear it up.
47:53He stayed silent.
47:55You did not tear it up,
47:56Alexander.
47:57I looked at him.
48:00Before Alaska,
48:01before that night
48:02in Brooklyn,
48:03before everything
48:03that happened,
48:05you never told me
48:06it existed.
48:09He stayed silent
48:10for a long time.
48:11Only the distant noise
48:12of Manhattan streets
48:13reached the office.
48:15Fifty slores softened it
48:16until it sounded
48:17small and far away.
48:18I know.
48:20He finally said.
48:22That was my fault.
48:24What happens now?
48:28He walked over.
48:29One step,
48:31two steps,
48:32three steps.
48:34He stopped in front of me.
48:37He lowered his head.
48:38He was so close
48:40that I could see
48:41my 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
48:57my cheekbone.
48:59Emily,
49:01I cannot give you
49:02a clean start,
49:03but I can give you
49:04a result.
49:05I looked at him.
49:11If you tear up
49:12that agreement,
49:13the whole Elder Council
49:14will explode.
49:15Silverstone Pack
49:16will turn against you.
49:20I know that.
49:23Your business
49:23will suffer.
49:25At least for
49:26two quarters.
49:28I know that.
49:33Is it worth it?
49:34He did not answer.
49:36He lowered his head
49:37and kissed me.
49:38This time,
49:39it was not possession.
49:40It was not loss of control.
49:42The kiss was light
49:44and slow.
49:45It answered
49:46without words.
49:47The next morning,
49:48Obsidian Headquarters
49:49received a notice.
49:50It came from
49:51Alexander himself,
49:52and it went to
49:53the entire Elder Council.
49:54The Blackwood and Hale
49:56marriage agreement
49:56ends today.
49:57The reason is simple.
49:59The Alpha refuses
50:00to carry it out.
50:01Bring all objections
50:02to me directly.
50:03This is signed,
50:04A.B.
50:05The Elder Council
50:06group chat
50:06produced 327 messages
50:09in 40 minutes.
50:10Marcus sent a shaking
50:11voice message
50:12from North Dakota.
50:13Alpha,
50:14are you sure?
50:14What about Silverstone?
50:16I am sure.
50:17Alexander replied
50:19with three words.
50:28I sat at my desk
50:29and stared at the
50:30screenshot forwarded
50:31to me.
50:32I stayed silent
50:33for a long time.
50:36That afternoon,
50:37after work,
50:38we entered the
50:39private elevator
50:40together.
50:41The space was tight.
50:43The elevator
50:44started to go down.
50:49The silence
50:50lasted about
50:51ten seconds.
50:53The lights
50:54flickered.
50:55The elevator
50:56suddenly stopped
50:57in midair.
50:59Alexander's
51:00pheromones
51:01burst out
51:01in the dark.
51:03He pressed me
51:04against the cold
51:05Eleanor wall.
51:06His hot hand
51:07slid between my fingers
51:08and locked with mine.
51:15Emily.
51:16In the dark,
51:17his voice was low
51:18and rough enough
51:18to weaken my knees.
51:21I held back
51:22all day.
51:23The elevator
51:24lights came back on.
51:26His phone
51:27vibrated.
51:30He sent me
51:31an iMessage
51:31right in front of me.
51:32What do you want
51:33to eat at the
51:33Plaza Hotel tonight?
51:35We can forget dinner.
51:36I will eat you first.
51:37I already booked
51:38the top floor
51:39of your presencial suite.
51:40Tonight,
51:41if you agree,
51:42I want to give you
51:43the final mark.
51:45I stared at the message.
51:47My heart beat
51:48out of order.
51:54What if I do not agree?
51:57Alexander looked at me.
51:59The red in his eyes
52:01slowly faded.
52:03Then I wait.
52:06How long will you wait?
52:09Until you say yes
52:10until you say yes
52:10with your own mouth.
52:11Ten minutes later,
52:13the Maybach stopped
52:14at the Plaza Hotel.
52:15He opened the heavy suite door
52:17and stepped inside first.
52:20Then he turned back
52:21and held out his hand to me.
52:26I stood at the door
52:27and did not go in right away.
52:32Alexander,
52:32I am still
52:33outside the door.
52:38What do you mean?
52:42You cannot give me
52:44orders tonight.
52:46His throat moved.
52:50I will not.
52:54You cannot decide
52:56for me either.
52:57I will not.
53:00If I tell you to stop,
53:01you stop.
53:02He came back
53:03and stood inside the room.
53:05He lowered his head to me.
53:06I swear to you.
53:08I looked at him
53:09and finally put my hand
53:10in his palm.
53:13The door closed behind us.
53:15This time,
53:16there was no heat,
53:17no rut,
53:18no alcohol,
53:19and no mistake.
53:20There was only him,
53:22me,
53:23and the Manhattan Knight
53:24outside the window.
53:29He kissed me slowly.
53:31He checked every answer.
53:33I grabbed his shirt
53:35and pulled him closer.
53:37Alexander,
53:38I 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
54:02and met his eyes.
54:07I want you to mark me.
54:09At that moment,
54:10those words hit him hard.
54:12Red slowly burned
54:13into his eyes,
54:14but he did not
54:14lose control again.
54:15He pulled me
54:16into his arms,
54:17kissed my forehead,
54:18the corner of my eye,
54:19and the corner of my mouth.
54:21At last,
54:22he stopped
54:22at the side of my neck.
54:26If it hurts,
54:28hold on to me.
54:34I have been holding on
54:35to you the whole time.
54:40He gave a low laugh.
54:42His voice was horsey.
54:51When his fangs
54:52tierced my glane,
54:55pain shook my whole body.
54:57But his hand
54:59kept holding mine.
55:01His pheromones
55:03entered my blood.
55:04Cedar,
55:05black coffee,
55:06the late-night win-wind
55:07of Manhattan,
55:08and the alpha
55:09who chased me
55:10all the way
55:11to an Ohio cornfield
55:12all sank
55:13into my bones.
55:15From this moment on,
55:17the mark was real.
55:19He pulled out
55:19his fangs
55:20and kissed the wound.
55:22His touch
55:23was gentle.
55:24It made up
55:25for all the tenderness
55:26that came too late.
55:28He bent close
55:30and called me
55:30in a low voice.
55:32All of Wall Street
55:33knows now.
55:35His voice was low
55:37and carried something
55:38I had never heard
55:39from him before.
55:41You are my mate.
55:43I leaned against
55:44his chest
55:45and closed my eyes.
55:48Then you are mine too.
55:51His heartbeat
55:52struck my ear.
55:53I
55:54am yours.
55:57Outside the window,
55:58Manhattan's lights
56:00poured down
56:00from more than
56:01fifties floors up.
56:03The city was bright
56:04and clear.
56:07I thought everything
56:08may have been said
56:09on that night
56:09when Pumpkin
56:10used my phone
56:11as a scratching pad.
56:12This hungry wolf
56:13from Wall Street
56:14had eaten me
56:14from head to toe.
56:16He did not plan
56:17to return
56:17even the bones.
56:19To be honest,
56:21being eaten
56:22by him
56:22felt deadly
56:23and addictive.
56:24The city was
56:25a
56:26a
56:26a
56:26a
56:27a
