Sáng tạoPhụ đề
00:00My fox shifter scratched me again
00:02I went to the clinic alone
00:04This cut is deep
00:05It will definitely leave a scar
00:08I bought my shifter to love me
00:11He spent a whole year hating me instead
00:14So today, I'm trading him in
00:17She mutters that no properly trained beast man should be hurting their owner like this
00:21And asks if mine ever went through socialization training
00:24He did
00:25In fact, he graduated at the top of his class
00:30My phone vibrates
00:31Dorian
00:32I already know what the messages say before I open them
00:35It's just a scratch
00:37Did you really need to go to the hospital?
00:39Come home and cook, I'm hungry
00:41I've never been full since living with you
00:43You take terrible care of me
00:45I've spent an entire year waiting for him to change
00:47Waiting for him to stop talking to me like this
00:49Waiting for him to look at me and see something other than disappointment
00:53I leave the hospital
00:54And head straight to the beast man registry center
00:58I'd like to exchange my beast man
01:01That gets her attention immediately
01:04You've been registered with him for almost a year
01:07You're only a short time away from forming a permanent bond
01:10Why would you want to replace him now?
01:12I used to talk to Dorian about bond ceremonies
01:16About rings
01:17About our future
01:18He would only curl his lip and asked if I honestly thought I was worthy of him
01:23He doesn't like me
01:24Honestly, I think he hates me
01:26It's been a year and that hasn't changed
01:29A trained beast man is supposed to love their owner wholeheartedly
01:32Problems like that shouldn't happen
01:35But they do
01:36And that's why I want a new one
01:37She leads me through the available files
01:41Foxes, leopards, a few others
01:42They're all attractive
01:44Though none quite match Dorian's pedigree
01:46I'd prefer a canine
01:48I've heard they're usually more affectionate toward humans
01:50No canines are currently available
01:52Photograph slips from her folded and lands on the floor
01:55I bend down to pick it up
01:56The man in the picture has cold grey eyes with vertical pupils
02:00A wolf
02:00A werewolf
02:02Honestly, he's the most obedient beast man we have
02:05Then why is he still here?
02:06People are afraid of werewolves
02:07The owner thinks keeping him is a financial loss
02:10If nobody takes him today, he'll be sold to a fighting arena
02:12He was raised to be gentle
02:14An arena would be hell for him
02:16But nobody wants him
02:17I've heard what happens in those places
02:19They tear beast men apart piece by piece
02:21My eyes settle on the wolf's face
02:24His gaze doesn't look gentle
02:26It looks restrained
02:27Like he's waiting
02:28Waiting for one chance
02:31Is he really obedient?
02:34Absolutely
02:36I look at the photo one last time
02:39I'll take him
02:43The staff tells me the werewolf will arrive in three days
02:46I carefully tuck the transfer agreement into my bag
02:50On my way home
02:52I spot Dorian and Bianca from half a block away
02:54The white haired fox beast man is standing in the glow of the setting sun
02:58Looking almost unreal
03:00Beautiful, perfect, like a piece of artwork
03:02Bianca lives next door
03:03She's a high born human
03:05Smart, elegant, and rich enough to never worry about money
03:08Ever since she met Dorian
03:09She's been bringing him expensive nutritional supplements
03:12The two of them have become unusually close
03:15A year ago
03:16Seeing them together would have made my stomach twist
03:19Now
03:20I simply slow my pace
03:22Bianca notices me first
03:24Lucy?
03:25Heading to another part time job?
03:27She gives me a small smile that doesn't quite reach her eyes
03:30I don't mean anything by it
03:33But even if you and Dorian are about to form a bond
03:36You should really make more of an effort with your appearance
03:40Look at what you're wearing
03:42Honestly, who would believe the two of you are together?
03:45I glance down at my t-shirt and jeans
03:47Then at her elegant dress
03:49I think I look fine
03:52Darian doesn't even look at me
03:53She wouldn't look good even if she tried
03:57Honestly
03:58It's better if she pretends she doesn't know how to dress
04:00That way people won't realize she's actually just ugly
04:04Bianca lightly smacks his arm
04:06Dorian, that's a terrible thing to say
04:10You're trying to help her
04:11And she'll just think you're being nosy
04:12He finally glances at me
04:14A low born human could never understand how someone like Bianca thinks
04:17Being bought by Lucy is the unluckiest thing that's ever happened to me
04:21A year ago, that sentence would have ruined my entire night
04:24I would have gone home wondering what I did wrong
04:26Wondering how to make him like me
04:28Wondering how to be better
04:30Now, I only have one thought
04:32Two more days
04:34And none of this will be my problem anymore
04:39The truth is, Dorian wasn't always like this
04:43Back when I couldn't afford the expensive supplements a top-teal beastman was supposed to have
04:48He never complained
04:49Back when the cheap clothes I bought irritated his sensitive skin
04:53He still smiled and told me
04:56Meeting Lucy was the luckiest thing that had ever happened to me
05:01Everything changed after we ran into his old rival
05:04A red fox
05:06We were walking down the street when I dropped my bag
05:10My things scattered everywhere
05:12Dorian immediately crouched down to help my pick them up
05:15At that exact moment, a luxury car pulled over
05:18The red fox stepped out and planted his foot directly on Dorian's hand
05:24Dorian flinched
05:25The fox smiled
05:26Well, if it isn't Dorian, the most popular beastman of his generation
05:30His eyes slid toward me
05:32Then he laughed
05:33How did someone like you end up with such an ugly low-born human?
05:40Then again, I suppose it fits
05:42A defective beastman and a low-born human
05:45Perfect match
05:46That night, Dorian locked himself in his room
05:49I sat outside the door until sunrise
05:53The ranking system was stupid
05:55I told him
05:56The registry was wrong for labeling him defective
05:59None of that determined his worth
06:02And I meant every word
06:04Hours later, the door finally opened
06:06His eyes were red and swollen
06:09He stared at me for a long moment before speaking
06:13You've never been at the top
06:15Of course you'd think being trash isn't that bad
06:20That was the first time I realized something
06:23Dorian had never truly seen us as equals
06:26Not even once
06:28Later, he met Bianca
06:30Bianca had everything I didn't
06:32Status, money, connections
06:35The ability to give Dorian the life he thought he deserved
06:39The two of them grew closer every day
06:41Sometimes I'd see them talking on the porch
06:44Sometimes she'd lean against him
06:47Sometimes he'd let her
06:50I only brought it up once
06:52Just once
06:53You're my registered beastman
06:56Could you maybe keep a little distance from Bianca?
06:59Dorian looked down at me
07:00His eyes were cold
07:02Worse than cold
07:04They were full of resentment
07:05Lucy, if I didn't have a defect
07:08Do you really think you could have afforded me?
07:10The words hit harder than any claw ever had
07:13You just took advantage of someone when they were vulnerable
07:16So what exactly gives you the right to act like my owner?
07:21I never mentioned Bianca again
07:23There was no point
07:24Because I remembered something Dorian seemed to have forgotten
07:27A year ago, he was the one who begged me to save him
07:31Someone who calls being rescued, taking advantage, was never going to remember the truth
07:37In this era, male beastmen have taken over humanity's role in reproduction
07:41Before everything went wrong, Dorian was considered one of the finest beastmen on the market
07:46At auction, he sold for an astronomical price
07:49Then they discovered he was infertile
07:51Everything changed overnight
07:53A beastman who couldn't fulfill his intended function, was suddenly worthless
07:57Even after his price dropped to $500,000
08:00Nobody wanted him
08:02To people looking for offspring, he was just defective merchandise
08:06The people in charge planned to send him to the red light district and recover what money they could
08:12The day I met him was the day I went to buy a beastman of my own
08:18Dorian broke free from his handlers
08:19Then he dropped to his knees in front of me
08:23Please
08:24Please save me
08:27I'll be good to you
08:28I'll be your family
08:29I don't want to die
08:31Please
08:31I grew up in an orphanage
08:33I know what it feels like to be unwanted
08:35I know what it's like when nobody chooses you
08:38So I didn't walk away
08:40I emptied my savings
08:41Took out a small loan
08:43Spent everything I had
08:45And I bought him
08:46Not because I acted on impulse
08:48Not because I felt sorry for him
08:51I knew exactly what I was doing
08:53I simply chose to do it
08:56Afterward, I never brought it up again
08:57I didn't want to hurt his pride
08:59I never imagined that one day I'd hear those same events described as me taking advantage of him
09:05The day he said that, we ended up arguing
09:09At some point my hand brushed against his
09:13The reaction was immediate, hard
09:15My arm slammed into the sharp corner of a table
09:18The wound split open so deeply I could see bone
09:21For a moment, Dormian froze
09:23Then he looked away
09:25If you hadn't been touching me, you wouldn't have gotten hurt
09:28This is your own fault
09:31He didn't even offer to take me to the hospital
09:33I'm going shopping with Bianca
09:36Besides, me being there won't make you hurt any less
09:41Then he looked back at me
09:43You have your own hands and feet
09:45Stop blaming everything on me
09:47Later, while the nurse stitched my arm
09:50A wound this deep is definitely going to scar
09:54It'll probably ache every time it rains
09:56Then she glanced at me
09:57The sympathy in her eyes almost broke me
09:59You and your beast man don't seem right for each other
10:02Maybe it's time to let go
10:04The words hit me harder than I expected
10:06Because she was saying something I'd been thinking for months
10:08Something I never had the courage to admit
10:11Maybe I could let go
10:13Maybe Dorian and I didn't need to spend the rest of our lives tied together
10:18And in that moment, something that had been wrapped around my chest for an entire year
10:22Finally loosened
10:24I could breathe again
10:27My thoughts return to the present
10:29Just as Dormian reaches for the door
10:32I stop him
10:33Dormian, he pauses
10:34Do you really think being with me is that miserable?
10:37His body stiffens for a second
10:41Then he turns around
10:43The same mocking smile is still on his face
10:46Of course
10:47He leans against the doorframe
10:49But someone like you
10:51Finally got lucky enough to end up with someone like me
10:55His eyes sweep over me
10:58Can you really bear to let that go?
11:03A cold laugh escapes him
11:05I'm stuck with you for the rest of my life
11:07There's no getting rid of a clingy human like you
11:11I don't argue
11:13The more convinced he is that I can't leave him
11:15The better this will be
11:16When I don't respond
11:18His tail flips impatiently against the floor
11:21What are you trying to say?
11:22I lower my gaze and pick at my fingernail
11:25Hiding the smile threatening to appear
11:27I got you a gift
11:30Dorian raises an eyebrow
11:33A gift?
11:34In a few days, you'll find out
11:37For the briefest moment, something flashes across his face
11:40It almost looks like anticipation
11:44Then it's gone
11:45The mockery returns immediately
11:49What is it this time?
11:51Another one of those cheap supplements even dogs wouldn't drink?
11:55I'll probably have to waste my time pouring it down the toilet
11:58I look up at him
11:59This time, I'm completely honest
12:02No
12:05It's the thing you want most
12:07Freedom
12:08Dorian doesn't know that yet
12:10It better be
12:11Then he slams the door shut behind him
12:14It better be
12:25Then he slams the door shut behind him
12:25Bianca shows up early the next morning
12:27Dorian and I are going shopping today
12:29She smiles sweetly
12:30We have similar taste
12:32It's easier to shop with someone who understands these things
12:34Then she looked at me
12:35Lucy, you're not upset, are you?
12:38There's a hint of expectation in her eyes
12:40Normally, I would have been
12:42For an entire year, it bothered me that Dorian never wanted to go anywhere with me
12:46But always had time for Bianca
12:48I cried over things like that
12:50Not anymore
12:52I don't mind
12:53Dorian looked shocked
12:55You're not mad?
12:57I shrug on my jacket
12:59No, go wherever you want
13:01Bianca immediately hooks her arm through Dorian's
13:04See? She's fine with it, let's go
13:06I watch them leave together
13:08Surprisingly, I don't feel that familiar ache anymore
13:11I just put on my shoes and head out myself
13:13The shopping center is having a huge seasonal sale today
13:16I need to buy supplies for the werewolf before he arrives
13:19The mall is packed
13:20Most of the shoppers are ordinary humans with ordinary beastmen
13:24Families, couples, friends
13:27The aisles are crowded, noisy, and full of laughter
13:30Everyone looks happy
13:31Without meaning to, I find myself smiling too
13:34Maybe that's what my life will look like soon
13:36Maybe having a new beastman will feel different
13:38If I hadn't met Dorian that day, I probably would have had that life already
13:42I won't have to listen to Dorian complain that cheap people should buy cheap things
13:45I won't have to watch him sneer at places like this before walking away and leaving me standing there alone
13:50I didn't have to bear his arrogance
13:52Honestly, all I'd ever wanted was a warm relationship
13:54It didn't have to look fancy
13:56If it weren't Dorian, I probably would have had it a long time ago
14:01Please
14:04By the time I get home, the sky is dark
14:07To my surprise, Dorian is already there
14:10Usually he and Bianca don't come back until late at night
14:13He's sitting on the couch with his arms crossed
14:15The anger on his face is impossible to miss
14:18Where were you?
14:19You didn't even make dinner
14:21Living with you is miserable enough already
14:24Now I can't even get a decent meal
14:26You take terrible care of me
14:28I take a sip of my iced coffee and set my shopping bags down
14:32Oh, I assumed you'd eat at Bianca's place
14:35Besides, I thought you didn't want my cooking
14:37Dorian frowns
14:38On your birthday, I spent an entire afternoon making dinner
14:44You threw all of it in the trash
14:47For the first time all evening
14:49He has nothing to say
14:52I focus on unpacking the things I bought for the werewolf
14:55Chew toys
14:56A grooming brush
14:57Fish oil supplements
14:59Basic necessities
15:01At some point, Dormian appears behind me
15:03I don't even notice until he picks up the brush
15:06What is this?
15:07You planning to raise me like a dog?
15:09I don't use cheap products like this
15:11And this fish oil isn't even premium grade
15:13Whatever, since you already bought them
15:15I guess I can try them
15:16They're not for you
15:18Silence
15:19Dorian's hand freezes around the brush
15:22What?
15:22I turn to face him
15:24That perfect face
15:25The face I spent a year trying to please
15:27I can't give a high-class beastman like you the life you deserve
15:30My voice is calm
15:31There's no self-pity in it
15:32No insecurity
15:33After all, those are just words he's repeated to me countless times over the past year
15:38Now I'm simply giving them back
15:40I've already filed a transfer request
15:42His expression goes blank
15:44For a second, it's like he doesn't understand what I mean
15:47The color drains from his face
15:49In two days, you'll never have to see me again
15:58The clock ticked steadily between us
16:01Dorian and I stare each other in silence
16:05After a long moment, the tension in his brow eased
16:08Bianca was right
16:09About what?
16:11You saw how close she and I are, so now you're pretending to let go to make me come back
16:14to you?
16:15First the act, now this nonsense about replacing me
16:17His expression turned confident
16:19She said you're manipulative
16:20Looks like she was right
16:22You think threatening me will make me wag my tail like some cheap beastman?
16:26I didn't bother arguing
16:27If that's what you want to believe, believe it
16:29My calmness only seemed to irritate him more
16:32A fluorescent heart was drawn around the 20th of next month
16:35You just want the bond ceremony, don't you?
16:38You started asking what kind of ring I wanted six months ago
16:42Hmm
16:42You kept pushing for us to live together
16:44If you want me, just say it
16:47Using tricks like this is pathetic
16:53Let me make this clear
16:54Even if I bond with you, I'll keep seeing Bianca
16:58If you want to get close to me, you'll need my permission first
17:01And when we're outside, nobody is allowed to know we're together
17:04He looked at me, annoyed, as though he had plenty more to say
17:08But I had never felt calmer
17:10No wonder they called you defective
17:12I spoke slowly, making sure he heard every word
17:15Buying you was the worst investment I ever made
17:18Dorman's golden eyes widened
17:20His fluffy white tail shot upright
17:24The Beast registry staff arrived exactly on time
17:27Dorian's eyes locked on the wolf standing beside them
17:30Caleb was tall
17:31So tall I had to tilt my head to look at him
17:33His fitted t-shirt stretched across broad shoulders and muscle
17:36Sharp brows, slightly upturned eyes, and a scar near his tepel gave him a dangerous look
17:40This was my first time meeting a predator-cleed beastman
17:42A black collar circled his neck, a leash attached to the front
17:45Registry issued, for beastmen without owners
17:47Caleb looked at me
17:48Then to my surprise, he dropped to one knee so he would be lower than me
17:52Master, my name is Caleb
17:54From now on, all you have to do is hold the leash
17:57He gently placed the other end into my hand
18:00The moment I took it, he lowered his head and rubbed his cheek against the back of my hand
18:05A soft, satisfied rumble came from his throat
18:07For such a large and intimidating wolf, he surrendered himself completely
18:11The staff member was Stella, the same woman who had helped me before
18:15She grinned, don't worry, I practically watched Caleb grow up, he's very well behaved
18:19Unfortunately, the registry is being renovated, so Dorian's transfer won't be processed for another two weeks
18:25Would it be possible to foster him until then? The registry will cover all expenses
18:28As Stella Folk, I felt Caleb's fluffy tail brush against my ankle, wagging with barely restrained excitement
18:33I didn't answer immediately
18:35Dorian had remained silent the entire time
18:38Only when Caleb looked up and nuzzled my hand again, could Dorian finally speak
18:43Pathetic mutt
18:44Caleb lifted his head and glanced at him
18:46There was no fear in that look, only a warning
18:50A second later, he lowered his gaze again and settled beside my knees, curling his large frame into a compact
18:56ball
18:56Master, he keeps glaring at me, I'm scared
18:59Despite his words, the arms stretched protectively in front of my legs never moved
19:04The last of my worries disappeared
19:05Who said wolves were difficult?
19:07This was exactly the kind of beastmen I wanted
19:10Loyal, protective, kind
19:13Stella's smile vanished instantly
19:15She pulled out her registry identification
19:17Fox Beastman, registration number 4561
19:20Dorian, correct?
19:21The color drenned of Dorian's face
19:24Yes
19:24I am here on behalf of the beast registration to formally notify you that your owner has requested a transfer
19:29We are extremely disappointed with your performance
19:32Two weeks from now, you will be reclaimed by the registry
19:35Please prepare yourself accordingly
19:45After Stella left, Dorian immediately grabbed Caleb and yanked him away from my side
19:49You pathetic mutt, what do you think you're doing? Having fun playing house?
19:53Caleb hit the floor hard, his hand struck the corner of the table
19:57A red bruise immediately bloomed across his skin
19:59He didn't fight back, he simply climbed to his feet and returned to my side
20:04Looking up at me cautiously, my heart tightened
20:08I pushed past Dorian and knelt beside Caleb
20:13Are you okay?
20:15Lucy! I know what you're doing
20:17You brought this mutt home to force me into bonding with you
20:20Go withdraw the transfer request right now and send him back
20:23Otherwise, I will never bond with you
20:26I turned around, my patience had finally run out
20:30Dorian
20:32I'm only going to say this one more time
20:34I don't want you anymore
20:41Dorian stormed out
20:43I stayed behind to treat Caleb's injured hand
20:46The moment I reached for him, he turned his face away and kept inching backward
20:51My heart sank
20:54Are you having second thoughts?
20:56I didn't want another Dorian
20:58Better to be honest now
20:59If you stay with me, there won't be expensive supplements
21:02My income is enough for ordinary things, nothing more
21:05I work two jobs
21:06In the summer, I come home sweaty
21:09I'm not particularly pretty, either
21:11If you're disappointed, I can take you back
21:14I forced a smile and quietly wiped my damp palms against my clothes
21:18Caleb finally looked at me
21:20His grey eyes were shining
21:22I'm sorry
21:23My stomach dropped
21:25So it was true
21:28My stomach dropped
21:30So it was true
21:31I'm sorry, I'm just
21:33Too happy
21:34I was so happy about staying with you that I couldn't control my expression
21:38I was afraid I looked ridiculous so I didn't dare look at you
21:41I thought I was going to the fighting pits
21:43Then suddenly they told me someone wanted me
21:47At night, I held your podo and kept staring at it
21:49I couldn't believe it
21:51Someone actually chose me
21:52I was afraid I was dreaming
21:54I've never been happier in my life
21:56I think you're beautiful
21:58I'm not embarrassed
21:59I'm so happy I could cry
22:01Oh, he was such an idiot
22:03He was already crying
22:05Could someone really be happy simply because they had me?
22:08I reached for his hand
22:09His palm was damp with nervous sweat
22:12Hot, real, not a dream
22:16Don't call me master anymore
22:17Call me Lucy
22:18He froze
22:19Then he carefully pressed my hand against his cheek and nodded hard
22:25Lucy
22:30Dorian came back with Bianca the moment he entered
22:32He started noisily packing his things
22:34Bianca stood in the doorway, looking around with obvious disdain
22:38Lucy, you've been working all these years and this is all you could afford?
22:42Have you ever considered that maybe you just don't work hard enough?
22:45Dorian told me you want to replace him
22:47You really don't know how lucky you are
22:49If I had a beast man like him, I'd do anything to keep him
22:53What would a low-class human know about quality?
22:56You replaced me with some mutt?
22:58This whole place reeks now
23:00There were only two days left
23:01I wasn't interested in arguing
23:03Instead, I continued brushing Caleb's tail
23:06The registry had barely taken care of him while he sat unsold
23:10His fur was tangled in several places
23:12Caleb naturally settled at my feet, resting his head on my knee to make my job easier
23:17Whenever strangers were around, he always stayed close to me like this
23:21Bianca and Dorian continued criticizing me
23:24Then Caleb suddenly spoke
23:26Foxes smell worse
23:28What did you say?
23:31What did you say?
23:33Caleb rose to his feet and stepped in front of me
23:36I said you're a smelly fox
23:38You have an owner and still spend your time chasing after other people
23:41No loyalty, no shame
23:44If you didn't hear me the first time, I can repeat it ten more times
23:47For someone so timid, Caleb's words were unexpectedly sharp
23:50He defending me, a warm feeling spread quietly through my chest
23:53Lucy, if you dislike Dorian this much, then you won't mind him staying at my place instead?
23:58I don't mind
24:00Lucy, you've wanted to get rid of me for a long time, haven't you?
24:03The shirt he'd thrown cost over a thousand dollars
24:06I was still wearing clearance sale sweatshirts
24:09Dorian, weren't you the one who wanted to leave me?
24:12That's right, I want to leave you, not the other way around
24:16I wouldn't spend another minute in this dump
24:18Don't worry, Dorian, come home with me
24:21I'll give you the best of everything
24:23But Dorian didn't answer, the only sound in the room was his tail thumping against the floor
24:28After a long silence, he took two steps forward, then stopped, then looked back at me
24:32I lowered my head and pretended not to notice
24:34Diane?
24:38I don't want to stay here, but the registry assigned me to Lucy's house until the transfer is complete
24:42I'd rather not violate regulations
24:45Bianca, come find me after I'm officially listed for reassignment
24:49Caleb watched Dorian's ridge back for a moment
24:52Before leaning close boats to my ear
24:58Lucy, let's go back to the bedroom
25:00It's getting late, time to sleep
25:02His warm breath brushed against my ear
25:05Making my skin heat unexpectedly
25:08They were perfectly innocent words
25:10Yet somehow, they didn't sound innocent at all
25:15You're sleeping together?
25:17Caleb draped an arm over my shoulder, easily pulling me against his broad chest
25:21The gesture looked natural, almost possessive
25:23He blinked innocently
25:25Of course
25:26A beastman sleeping beside his owner is completely normal, isn't it?
25:30Mr. X
25:35I fluffed up the new bedding and spread it neatly across the floor
25:39Sorry about this
25:41Once Dorian leaves, I'll clean out the other room for you
25:44At least it's warm now
25:46You won't get cold sleeping down here
25:48Besides, you're a wolf, so I guess
25:50Caleb was standing by the door, fiddling with his fingers
25:53His ears drooped
25:55What's wrong?
25:56You don't want to sleep on the floor?
25:58Then you can take the bed
26:00I'll sleep down here
26:04His tail sank lower
26:07His grey eyes shimmered
26:12Did I do something wrong?
26:14Caleb suddenly dropped to his knees
26:15The small room felt even smaller with his large frame inside it
26:18Under the warm light, his usually intimidating face looked expectedly helpless
26:21He shuffled forward on his knees and wrapped his arms around my legs
26:24Tears streamed down his cheeks
26:26Master, if I did something wrong, I'll fix it
26:29Please don't make me sleep alone
26:33I learned how to take care of humans at the registry
26:37Heat rushed to my face
26:39Was he crying because we weren't sharing a bed?
26:42I instinctively reached out, to wipe away his tears
26:46Caleb leaned into my touch, rubbing his cheek against my palm
26:51Can I?
26:53I... I just thought...
26:55We barely know each other
26:56I didn't know if he could want that
26:59I stumbled backward and sat down on the bed
27:01I could feel the heat of his hand against my leg
27:04Caleb moved closer, kneeling beside the bed
27:06His tears hadn't stopped, but there was a quiet determination in his gaze
27:11Please... just give me a chance
27:14My thoughts were a mess
27:16In the end, all I could do was nod
27:32I drifted in and out of consciousness, only faintly aware that it had started raining outside
27:38No wonder the room felt so hot and heavy, so damp
27:42I reached out, trying to turn off the light, but he pulled me back
27:46My voice came out whores
27:50I think someone's knocking
27:53There's someone outside
27:55Let's stop for a second
27:56Even now, you're still thinking about him?
27:59You still like him more, don't you?
28:04I don't...
28:07I don't...
28:09Then who do you like more?
28:19I like you, I like you, okay?
28:22I like you, I like you, okay?
28:33The next morning, I was sore all over when I got dressed
28:37Honestly, I thought to myself
28:38He's really just like a dog
28:41Lucy, you smell so good
28:42No, that's not it
28:43The next morning, I was sore all over when I got dressed
28:47Honestly, I thought to myself
28:48He's really just like a dog
28:51Lucy, you smell so good
28:52No, that's not it, you smell sweet
28:55Can we sleep together again tonight?
28:56Cut it out, I can barely walk
28:58The words died in my throat the moment I saw Dorian
29:00The leather armhast beneath his hand was wrinkled because he'd been gripping it so tightly
29:04His eyes were dark with anger
29:05The way he was staring at me sent a chill down my spine
29:07Lucy, have you no shame?
29:13Fox, if I hear you say one more thing against Lucy, I'll tear your throat out
29:18You can try, I'm not exactly fond of you either
29:21The room instantly filled with tension
29:22The two male shifters felt ready to fight
29:27He's not worth it, he'll be gone soon anyway
29:33He was being so mean, Lucy, he scared me
29:36I rubbed one of his ears
29:37It was surprisingly soft
29:40That's just how he is, just ignore him
29:42Come on, let's go buy you some pajamas
29:46Darian's body swayed slightly, his arched back slowly relaxing
29:50He stood rigidly blocking the doorway
29:52Lucy, don't choose him
29:54You like me, don't you?
29:56Anything he can do for you, I can do too
29:57Send him back now, and I'll pretend none of this ever happened
30:01Behind me, Caleb's body tensed instantly
30:03I fell silent for a moment, then shifted the topic entirely
30:07You know I grew up in an orphanage
30:09So what?
30:10So I'm very good at reading people's moods
30:14When you first came, I could tell you were happy, content
30:18Later, I could feel it change into irritation, and disgust
30:23I tried to please you, I did a lot
30:26But you always hated you
30:28You thought I was lowly, thought I didn't deserve you
30:30Those things were all real
30:32So I made the decision to transfer ownership
30:36I thought you would be happy and looking forward to it
30:38But why do I feel like you're jealous?
30:40And angry?
30:42Dorian, can you tell me why?
30:44Clouds covered the sunlight, and the room fell dim
30:47Making his expression hard to read
30:49His fingertips turned pale, probably from the cold
30:52For a long time, Dorian said nothing
30:56I felt it was a waste of time
30:59So I took Caleb's hand and walked past him
31:01Dorian grabbed my other wrist
31:03I turned back, his perfect face had cracked for the first time
31:07Like a porcelain doll breaking
31:09Lucy, if I say now, that I like you
31:14Is it already too late?
31:17This was ridiculous
31:18It wasn't until Caleb had nearly beat Doris unconscious that I finally snapped out of my shock
31:23Stop! If he dies, you'll go to prison!
31:25Caleb finally backed off, breathing hard
31:27His knuckles were covered in blood
31:29You shameless bastard! How dare you tell my master you love her?
31:33Homewrecker! If I see you again, I'll beat you again!
31:37Dorian struggled to prop himself up
31:39He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand
31:42I was here first
31:44You're the homewrecker
31:46Caleb let out a furious roll and kicked him again
31:49This time, Dorian didn't move
31:51Alarmed, I hurried over
31:53Dorian gritted his teeth in pain
31:55But his eyes were full of hope
31:56You still care about me, don't you?
31:59After making sure he wasn't in any real danger
32:01I finally relaxed
32:02I'm worried you'll die, then Caleb be put down
32:06Darren grabbed my wrist
32:07There was desperation in his voice
32:10I don't need to go to the hospital
32:11Lucy, you heard me, didn't you?
32:13I really do love you
32:15You wanted to bond with me, didn't you?
32:17We were supposed to pick out our rings together
32:19We can do it now, okay?
32:22Dromian
32:23I gently pulled my hand away
32:26Bianca already promised she'd buy you
32:28You won't be sent to a red light district
32:30So you don't have to force yourself because you're scared
32:33You don't have to pretend to like me
32:35No, no, that's not it
32:37Dorian looked more helpless than I'd ever seen him
32:40I really do love you
32:41I'm not pretending
32:42I've loved you since the day we met
32:45You're nice
32:46You work harder than anyone
32:48How could I not fall for you?
32:50My first reaction was almost laughter
32:52After everything he'd done
32:53How could he possibly call that love?
32:56So that's how you treat someone you love?
32:58By calling her disgusting?
32:59Call her a low class?
33:01Tell her to stay away?
33:02And you hurt her? Blame her all the time?
33:04The color drained further from Dorian's face with every question
33:07Dorian, I don't want that kind of love
33:10And honestly, I don't believe you love me at all
33:14Stop lying to yourself
33:15I took Caleb's hand and walked out
33:20I took Caleb straight to the hospital
33:22The nurse turned out to be the same one from before
33:24She looked at Caleb with obvious disdain
33:28So this is your shifter?
33:29The one who got you hurt three times in a single month?
33:32And who never once bothered to come with you to the hospital
33:34Now you're the one bringing him in
33:35Isn't that something?
33:37No, you've got the wrong person
33:38This is my new shifter
33:40I'm sorry
33:41Last time I had a hypoglyphremic attack
33:43Lucy threw herself underneath me so I wouldn't hit the ground
33:46She's such a good person
33:48I thought you were the one making her suffer
33:50Lucy, I felt for you
33:53I've always been the type to move on quickly
33:55When Dorian treated me badly
33:57I assumed I simply wasn't good enough for him
34:00So I worked harder
34:01Of course I was hurt
34:03But I learned to swallow those feelings
34:05To grind them down and turn them into something that made me stronger
34:08I thought nothing could affect me anymore
34:11Not other people's contempt
34:13Not the wounds left by my own sister
34:17But then Caleb said he felt sorry for me
34:19Sorry for my injuries
34:21Sorry for how hard I worked
34:23Telling me that I was his favorite in the world
34:24He saw me
34:25Really saw me
34:27Something warm and aching welled up inside my chest
34:29Rising so fast it threatened to spill out through my eyes
34:33Let's do the treatment first
34:36Only they realized that I could have a happy ending
34:40The only family I had ever known took everything from me
34:43Then Dorian came along
34:45The person I'd waited so long for
34:47And he never loved me at all
34:50Maybe all those hardships had led me here
34:53So that
34:54In the end Caleb could find his way to me
35:00For the next few weeks Caleb and I came to an agreement
35:04We simply ignored Dorian
35:05Caleb found a job
35:08I've got hands and I'm a grown man
35:09I can't let you alone support me forever
35:12If we both work our lives will only get better
35:14Then I realized that life can be built by us too
35:18Dorian sat on the couch everyday
35:20He watched us leave for work and come back home
35:22The night before he was due to leave
35:24He stopped me
35:25Lucy, I wait for you at home everyday
35:28But you won't even look at me
35:31Lucy, I really know I was wrong
35:33But everyone makes mistakes
35:35Why can't you forgive me just once?
35:37I don't blame you
35:40I understand
35:41You're a high end shifter, I'm a low human
35:43The fact that I was able to buy you in the first place
35:45Was already an incredible stroke of luck
35:47So if you weren't happy with your life
35:49Or with me, I understand
35:52Then you've forgiven me?
35:53I'll treat you right this time
35:55Tomorrow we'll take that mutt back and
35:57No
35:59Caleb isn't going anywhere
36:00I think you're confusing fear with love
36:03You're just afraid of the red light district
36:06That's all this is
36:08Once the reassignment is complete
36:10Everything will go back to normal
36:14No, no, that's not it
36:16Lucy, what do I have to do to make you believe me?
36:19I really do love you
36:22Watching him fall apart
36:24I suddenly remembered the person I used to be
36:26The girl who had begged for his love
36:28The girl who had lived for every scrap of his approval
36:30Looking back on it now
36:32It really was pathetic
36:34No wonder Dorian had always looked down on me
36:36I realized a long time ago that I'd fallen for you
36:38But I couldn't accept it
36:39You're just a low human, my pride wouldn't let me
36:42So I insulted you, I said things I didn't mean
36:44It was easier to convince myself I was being forced into it
36:47Easier than admitting I'd chosen someone beneath me
36:49I liked how much you tried to love me
36:51Every time you tried harder, I felt better
36:53I got to stay on top
36:54I got to keep pretending I was still that admired, high-ranked shifter
36:58But I forgot something
37:01I'm not that shifter anymore
37:03I'm just a defective nobody
37:06A reject
37:06The only reason I ever felt valuable
37:10Was because you loved me
37:12Tears slipped through his fingers and splashed onto the pavement
37:15Now I truly understand
37:18Dorian had never been able to accept that he'd fallen for a low human
37:22He'd needed my devotion to reassure himself
37:25To convince himself that loving me wasn't a choice
37:28Lucy? What's wrong?
37:32Nothing. I'm fine
37:36Dormian
37:39We're really over
37:41This time it's for good
37:50When Stella arrived, she was all smiles
37:54Lucy, Caleb's been a good boy, hasn't he?
37:59Of course I have
38:01Then he looked at me expectantly
38:04Right, Lucy?
38:06Yeah, most of the time
38:09Most of the time?
38:10I've been good all the time
38:13For someone so tall and intimidating
38:15He was unexpectedly adorable
38:17Stella handed me the transfer confirmation forms
38:20The day I bought Dorian
38:22We'd been sitting side by side
38:24His nose had been pink from crying
38:27Tears and happiness mixed together in his eyes
38:29He'd looked so cute that I'd found myself staring
38:33Sorry
38:33I'll make myself look better
38:35You already look good
38:38How?
38:39That was one of the few times I'd ever seen him smile
38:43I remembered it clearly
38:45When he smiled, he would curve his lips
38:48His slightly longer fang on the left side would show
38:51I shook my head, as if I could shake the memory away with it
38:55He wasn't that person anymore
38:56Inside the bedroom, Dorian lay staring blankly at the ceiling
39:00Come with me right now
39:04I used to think this bed was uncomfortable
39:08Funny, now it feels pretty comfortable
39:10He pushed himself up and followed Stella outside
39:13He walked slowly
39:15But neither Caleb nor I looked at him again
39:17I saw a video where someone trimmed their shifter's ear fur into little round puffs
39:22It looked adorable, I wanna try it
39:23But fair warning, if I mess it up, don't get mad
39:27As long as you're the one doing it, I'll love it
39:33The front door closed
39:35Dorian was gone
39:39Much later, I heard from Stella what had happened to Dorian
39:43Bianca never bought him?
39:44She found out he couldn't have children, so she threw a huge fit at the agency
39:48A defective acted like he's too good for everyone was how she put it
39:52I was stunned
39:54I didn't know Bianca never knew about Dorian's condition
39:57What happened to Dorian?
39:59Had he been sent to the red light district after all?
40:03Stella hesitated
40:04Well, he got sick, depression
40:06It got so bad he could barely talk to people
40:09The agency was preparing to retire him
40:11But these days, he's working at an orphanage
40:14He seems calm around the children
40:16After I hung up, I sat there for a long time
40:21Caleb wrapped his arms around me
40:22Are you worried about him?
40:26If you're really worried, we could always bring him back
40:28I wouldn't mind
40:29He said he wouldn't mind, but his arms were crushing my waist
40:32When are you going to be honest about your feelings?
40:36I am honest
40:37Caleb was so good in almost every way
40:39The only problem was that he was always trying to please me
40:42Sometimes I worried that if I ever did something terrible
40:45He'd clean up the mess for me instead of stopping me
40:47I wanted him to relax, to express his true feelings
40:51I pinched his cheek harder, hoping he'd finally learn to stop me
40:54But even after his face turned red, he didn't resist
40:57He just looked at me with bright, happy eyes
41:02I sighed in defeat
41:03Why don't you ever tell me no?
41:06You can say no, you know?
41:08You pinch me, but not anyone else
41:10That means you like me
41:11I'm happy about it, so it doesn't hurt
41:14I didn't know how to react
41:17You really are
41:18How could you be so...
41:21Adorable
41:23The atmosphere changed
41:25The air suddenly felt heated
41:27His tail wouldn't stop wagging
41:28I tried to run
41:30Unfortunately, he'd already caught my ankle
41:34Our child would be even cuter than I am
41:37Want to find out?
41:39No! It's the middle of the day!
41:41You told me I need to learn how to say no to you
41:44So I'm saying no to your no
41:46That is not what I meant
41:47I...
41:51Stop kissing me
41:52Fortunately, I've always been good at looking on the bright side
41:56Maybe this was Caleb's first step towards learning how to be in a relationship
42:01Stella used to be my supervisor
42:03Later, she went to reception
42:06Nobody ever wanted me
42:08So she was always worried about me
42:11The day before, I was sent to the fighting pits
42:13She came running over
42:16I was vibrating with excitement
42:18Caleb, someone wants you
42:20Someone wanted me?
42:23She's an incredibly sweet girl
42:26Her previous shifter was Dorian
42:31I knew who Dorian was
42:34Everybody did
42:34He'd been the pride of the agency
42:36Then they found out he was defective
42:39And suddenly nobody wanted him anymore
42:41I'd heard a low human had saved him
42:43I paused
42:45Such a nice person
42:46And Dorian didn't love her
42:48Stella told me not to act like a wolf
42:50Be a cat
42:51Be a tiger
42:52Be a little puppy caught in the rain
42:55I love you
42:56I like you
42:58You're wonderful
42:59I want to build a family with you
43:01Then she grabbed my shoulders and told me
43:03Don't let her go
43:04She's a really good person
43:06Turns out Stella undersold her
43:08Lucy isn't just a good person
43:10She's adorable
43:11She's got big round eyes like grapes
43:14Her nose was tiny
43:15Her mouth was tiny
43:16And her whole face was tiny
43:18She's so cute that sometimes I want to swallow her whole and hide her where nobody else can see her
43:22Even her name is beautiful
43:24Lucy
43:25Lucy sounds like moonlight
43:26Maybe that means our future will be bright too
43:28We sleep together now
43:30She smells so good
43:31She's so sweet
43:33Lucy cried at the hospital
43:35She thought I didn't notice
43:37Why was she crying?
43:39Did I do something wrong?
43:40I need to love her even more
43:41That stinky fox Dorian
43:43Troublemaker
43:44Homewrecker
43:45I got off work 5 minutes late
43:47And he used those 5 minutes to corner my Lucy outside the apartment
43:51Too bad
43:52One day seriously
43:53I'm going to bite him
43:54Yay! Dorian's gone
43:55Lucy says I need to learn how to tell people no
43:58In fact I do say no
44:00But never to her
44:01She's my treasure
44:03Besides
44:03She has no idea how cute she is when she's asking for something
44:07Her eyes sparkle
44:08Her little hands rest on me all soft and warm
44:11Nope
44:11Can't think about that anymore
44:13Now I want to nibble on her again
44:15I have a baby now
44:16And Lucy and I bonded early too
44:19Everything's good
44:20Dorian doesn't stand a chance anymore
44:22We had a daughter
44:23She looks just like Lucy
44:25Lucy keeps telling me to stop crying because it's bad for my eyes
44:29But I can't
44:31I'm so happy
44:33And I hope you're happy
44:34Too
