00:00:00.
00:00:30.
00:01:15I was matched with three Beastmen from childhood.
00:01:18On my 21st birthday, I was supposed to choose one of them to bond with.
00:01:22The Fox Beastman, Reese, was...
00:01:31...warm and charming.
00:01:32The Tiger Beastman, Finn, was proud and sharp-tongued.
00:01:37The Snake Beastman, Calum, had double the fun.
00:01:40By the time Calum had me too sore to straighten my back, I saw their group chat.
00:01:45Whoever she picks is seriously unlucky.
00:01:48I don't like her.
00:01:49What about you two?
00:01:50You mangly fox.
00:01:51You stinking tiger.
00:01:52I don't like her either.
00:01:54She's always yanking my fur in bed.
00:01:56I'm practically going bald.
00:01:58Her sister's so much gentler, don't you think?
00:02:00Right, you dead black snake?
00:02:02Don't like her.
00:02:04She's always biting my...
00:02:06...tail tip.
00:02:07I let out a...
00:02:08...cold laugh.
00:02:10Perfect.
00:02:10As a fake heiress.
00:02:12They saved me from agonizing over who to pick.
00:02:16That same night, I booked a flight overseas for school.
00:02:22Forget it.
00:02:24I don't want any of the three of you.
00:02:26The sound of rushing water came from the bathroom, but what they'd said came back to me.
00:02:58I held back my...
00:03:00...tears.
00:03:01Fifteen years of waking up beside them, and it couldn't buy me one person's honest heart.
00:03:07They'd only met Sophia a handful of times, and they were already falling for her?
00:03:12I'd been sitting here, counting down to my birthday next month, ready to give them an answer they'd be happy
00:03:17with.
00:03:18What a joke that looks like now.
00:03:20If I hadn't stumbled onto their real feelings today, I would have humiliated myself at next month's party.
00:03:26My identity was already shaky enough, being a fake heiress.
00:03:30And they were playing games with me on top of it.
00:03:33Tears welled up in my eyes.
00:03:35I was about to wipe it away when arms folded around me from behind.
00:03:40Calum leaned in and carefully licked the tear from my cheek.
00:03:44I'm sorry, sweetheart.
00:03:45Are you going back?
00:03:46That's on me.
00:03:47We don't have to do both next time.
00:03:49I hadn't even noticed him come out of the bathroom.
00:03:52He'd just showered, still warm from the water, my scratches still marking his skin.
00:03:57I saw something in his eyes that looked real and not concerned.
00:04:01It made me angry.
00:04:03I shoved his hand off.
00:04:04He could say something that cruel and still act this well.
00:04:09I'm going to make you upset.
00:04:12I shot him a glare over my shoulder.
00:04:15Look at him.
00:04:16Was this my fault?
00:04:17He was the one always baiting me.
00:04:20The angrier I got, the more I wanted to do something about it.
00:04:24I opened my mouth and bit down on his tail tail.
00:04:27Heart.
00:04:28Calum let out a low grunt and pulled me closer instead.
00:04:34My tongue accidentally grazed the tail.
00:04:37I watched him tip his head back, jaw tight.
00:04:40I released his tail.
00:04:42I didn't look at the man behind me, breathing rough.
00:04:44The red at the corners of his eyes still not fading.
00:04:48I love this wire.
00:04:50I shoved the door open and walked out.
00:04:52Right into a burning hot chest.
00:04:55Well, well.
00:04:57What happened, princess?
00:05:06Did that stupid snake leave you unusatisfied?
00:05:09Finn grinned down at me.
00:05:11Then he leaned to my ear and grieved.
00:05:13Want to come to my room?
00:05:15Get away from me!
00:05:16I pushed him off and walked.
00:05:18Finn stared at my closed door, then turned a sharp look toward Calum.
00:05:23You upset her?
00:05:25I didn't.
00:05:25Calum looked just as lost.
00:05:28Did you say something to her?
00:05:30Calum frowned.
00:05:31No.
00:05:33What's all the noise?
00:05:34Reese leaned in the doorway.
00:05:36Talking's boring.
00:05:37Just fight it out.
00:05:39As if.
00:05:39Stop pretending to be reasonable.
00:05:41After the commotion died down,
00:05:43all three of them went back to their own rooms.
00:05:46I'm in the hospital.
00:05:47I don't do it.
00:05:49I don't do it.
00:05:49I don't do it.
00:05:50I don't do it.
00:05:51I don't do it.
00:05:51I don't do it.
00:05:52I don't do it.
00:05:52I don't do it.
00:05:53I don't do it.
00:05:53I don't do it.
00:05:55I don't do it.
00:05:55I don't do it.
00:05:58I don't do it.
00:05:59I don't do it.
00:06:03I don't do it.
00:06:03I don't do it.
00:06:04I don't do it.
00:06:05I don't do it.
00:06:06I lay in bed and couldn't sleep no matter which way I turned.
00:06:09I'd spent over 20 years as the heiress of this woman.
00:06:13And now I was being told it was all fake.
00:06:15The identity wasn't mine.
00:06:17My parents' love wasn't mine.
00:06:19Everything I had belonged to Sophia.
00:06:21I was the one who stole her brilliant life.
00:06:23So, I was the one who volunteered to leave.
00:06:26That's how I ended up in this villa.
00:06:28I hadn't even planned on bringing the three of them.
00:06:30They showed up on their email.
00:06:32The letter was short, little soon.
00:06:34My eyes went blurry.
00:06:36I bit into my pillow. Fake.
00:06:38All of it. Fake.
00:06:39The only real thing I had was my acceptance letter from the Eastmore Conservatory.
00:06:44I picked up my phone and dialed the number.
00:06:46Yes, that's right. Move the date up. Just one person.
00:06:50I hadn't had the chance to tell them yet.
00:06:52Right when I got the acceptance letter,
00:06:54the story broke that I wasn't the Morrison's real daughter.
00:06:57My parents held Sophia and cried.
00:06:59I quietly pinned the mother away.
00:07:01They'd hired tutors for my piano since I was small.
00:07:04They'd given me the room with the best light upstairs for a practice room.
00:07:08Every bit of skill I had came from the foundation they built for me.
00:07:12Then one day, my parents took my hands and arms.
00:07:15Lena, go somewhere else for a while.
00:07:18In our hearts, we're still our child.
00:07:20My mouth opened, but I couldn't bring myself to mention going away.
00:07:25In the dark, I bit my lip.
00:07:27Honestly, maybe this was the better way.
00:07:29I had no reason to stay.
00:07:31No one loved me.
00:07:32But I would love myself just fine when I'm alone.
00:07:35I'd meant to keep my temper in check.
00:07:37Spend one last quiet month with the three of them and leave without a scene.
00:07:41But some people never let you rest.
00:07:46Finn, get out.
00:07:48Princess, what did that stupid snake do to you?
00:07:50He acted like you hadn't heard me.
00:07:52Still upset?
00:07:53I didn't answer him.
00:07:56I don't care.
00:07:57Tonight's my turn.
00:07:59I'll make it good for you.
00:08:00I pushed him back and said it again.
00:08:02I don't want to.
00:08:06Go back to your room.
00:08:07Finn finally registered that I meant it.
00:08:10His expression fell.
00:08:11What do you mean you don't want to?
00:08:14I've been waiting days!
00:08:17I slapped him across the face.
00:08:19Get out.
00:08:20Finn held his cheek, looking at me with eyes full of wounded disbelief.
00:08:24Then he slammed the door behind me.
00:08:27The noise brought Calum and Reese into the hallway.
00:08:29Lena, he ran out.
00:08:31Leave her.
00:08:31I said it quietly.
00:08:35Outside, thunder rolled.
00:08:37The rain came down hard.
00:08:39I'm sorry.
00:08:40I'm sorry.
00:08:48I'm sorry.
00:08:49I'm sorry.
00:08:49I'm sorry.
00:08:51I'm sorry.
00:08:58I'm sorry.
00:09:00I'm sorry.
00:09:00I'm sorry.
00:09:01I'm sorry.
00:09:09That whole night, every time I closed my eyes, I thought it was him.
00:09:14He was the most stubborn of the three.
00:09:16I wasn't worried about him getting into real trouble.
00:09:19High-level beastmen were capable in every sense of the word.
00:09:22It was just that this feeling of being slipping out of control wasn't him.
00:09:26Like being drowned slowly in a tide of memories you couldn't fight off.
00:09:30The next morning, I walked out of my room with dark circles under my eyes.
00:09:34Kalen was standing by my door like a guard.
00:09:36I startled and stepped back.
00:09:38What are you doing outside my room?
00:09:39He didn't answer, just looked at me with those quiet, searching eyes.
00:09:43Then he reached over and tugged on the head of my clothes.
00:09:47Can I come to your room tonight?
00:09:48Faced with that desperate look, I tried very hard not to roll my eyes.
00:09:52No.
00:09:54Oh no.
00:09:55I'll wear that butler outfit tonight, okay?
00:09:57I bought a crop.
00:09:59Did I hurt you last time?
00:10:01You can use it on me.
00:10:05I turned toward the stairs and walked down.
00:10:07I didn't look back at whatever he said next.
00:10:10Reese was at the bottom of the stairs, watching me with an unreadable excision.
00:10:14I stepped around him and sat down at the table.
00:10:17Reese paused, then came and stood behind my chair.
00:10:19Baby.
00:10:20He said it.
00:10:21Aren't you forgetting something?
00:10:22Before, I used to give each of them a good morning kiss when I came down.
00:10:26Right now, I play dumb.
00:10:28Eat.
00:10:30Reese and Kalem exchanged a look behind me.
00:10:32Then they quietly pulled out their chairs.
00:10:35Halfway through the meal, the front door banged open.
00:10:37I felt my eye twitch before I even saw who it was.
00:10:41Sophia walked in behind Finn.
00:10:43Both of them about something.
00:10:46Sophia wrapped herself around my arm like we were close.
00:10:49Lena, the clothes in your room are all so pretty.
00:10:51But I thought someone else already wore them.
00:10:54So that's kind of gross, right?
00:10:55So I threw them all out.
00:10:58You don't mind, do you?
00:11:01I mean, after all these years of living so well.
00:11:11The air in the room went straight.
00:11:14I peeled a hand off my arm without changing my expression.
00:11:18I don't need them.
00:11:20I don't need them.
00:11:21I said it and glanced at the three beastmen.
00:11:23Their eyes were all on Sophia.
00:11:25Finn, in particular, was watching me with an almost defiant look.
00:11:29Lena, Sophia wants to stay here a few days.
00:11:32You don't have a problem with that, do you?
00:11:34I looked straight at Finn.
00:11:35The others watched my face for a reaction.
00:11:37Finn's eyes slid away from mine.
00:11:39Last night, if I hadn't ran into Sophia,
00:11:41I would have been out in that rain all night.
00:11:42You didn't even-
00:11:43Sure.
00:11:43I smiled and turned to Sophia before any of them could react.
00:11:47Stay as long as you want, little sister.
00:11:50Feel free to pick any room you like.
00:12:05And including nerves.
00:12:07Lena!
00:12:08All three said my name at the same time.
00:12:10What are you saying?
00:12:11No one goes in our rooms.
00:12:15Sweetheart, did that tiger make you lose your mind?
00:12:18He's awful.
00:12:19We don't need him.
00:12:20Finn looked like he had a lot to say, but couldn't.
00:12:22He said it quietly, then shot Ruth's a look.
00:12:25I didn't bother with any of them.
00:12:27I grabbed my things and took the car out alone.
00:12:30No one came with me.
00:12:32At the bar, my friend Cassie pulled me into her side.
00:12:35What's going on, princess?
00:12:36I swirled my cocktail.
00:12:38Don't call me that.
00:12:39I'm a fake, and everything I have is someone else's.
00:12:42I knocked the drink back.
00:12:44The burn hit my throat.
00:12:45All of it.
00:12:46Don't say that.
00:12:47You're my best friend.
00:12:49That's got nothing to do with where you come from.
00:12:51I leaned on Cassie's shoulder.
00:12:55What's got you so miserable?
00:12:57You've got three beastmen at home.
00:12:59Can't they cheer you up?
00:13:00She laughed a little.
00:13:01Don't mention them.
00:13:02They give me a headache.
00:13:09My phone kept going off.
00:13:11Messages and calls from all three of them.
00:13:13I didn't pick up one.
00:13:16By the time I got home, my steps weren't quite steady.
00:13:21I'd barely opened the door when hands gripped my shoulders.
00:13:31Lena!
00:13:32Why didn't you answer your phone?
00:13:34Kalen's voice was right in my ear, tight with worry.
00:13:37You drank that much?
00:13:38Let me take you upstairs.
00:13:39I'm fine.
00:13:40I shrugged him off.
00:13:42I didn't drink that much.
00:13:43I wasn't lying.
00:13:44A few drinks wasn't enough to actually get me drunk.
00:13:48I said, let me walk on my own.
00:13:50Annoyance flashed across my face.
00:13:52What, you want me to dump all three of you sooner?
00:13:55Fueled by the alcohol, I blurted it out without noticing all three of them go pale.
00:14:00Lena, don't joke like that.
00:14:02I couldn't tell who said it.
00:14:03I went back to my room, showered, and got into bed.
00:14:17Half asleep, I felt something wrap around my waist.
00:14:20I opened my eyes to Reese's face.
00:14:23When he saw me wake, he kissed me.
00:14:25Lena, don't open that up.
00:14:27My head was still foggy.
00:14:31He pressed his face against my neck, the rounded ears on top of his head brushing my chin.
00:14:39He was looking at me with that practiced, melting gaze.
00:14:42The alcohol dulled my brain.
00:14:48Reese, you're good.
00:14:50He didn't wait.
00:15:06Then we ended up sleeping together, swept up and wanting it.
00:15:10After days of nothing, I couldn't say no.
00:15:12Reese held me close and spoke against my ear.
00:15:15Lena, you'll choose me, won't you?
00:15:18Just me.
00:15:19Choose?
00:15:20I barely registered what he was asking.
00:15:22I just nodded along.
00:15:23It seemed to light something in me.
00:15:25He threw himself into it, more eager than before.
00:15:29Here?
00:15:30Is this the right amount of pressure?
00:15:32Lena, pull my foot.
00:15:35Really pull it.
00:15:42After that reckless night, the morning came.
00:15:45I had just woken up in Reese's arms.
00:15:47Then I found Calum and Finn standing at the side of the bed, watching us in silence.
00:15:52Clothes scattered all over the floor.
00:15:55Awkward, didn't quite cover it.
00:15:56Reese acted like he couldn't sense anything was wrong, his full tail patting lazily against
00:16:01my chest.
00:16:02Good morning, Lena.
00:16:04He kissed my cheek with a loud snap.
00:16:06Well, things were already a mess, so I figured I might as well go with it.
00:16:10But I had too much to do this night.
00:16:13I was like, I'm just going to feel it.
00:16:16Excuse me.
00:16:18You said yourself you weren't drunk, Lena.
00:16:20Are you playing favorites now?
00:16:22If you wanted someone, you should have come to me!
00:16:24Finn's eyes were red at the clouds.
00:16:26We agreed.
00:16:27When you turned 18, every two days, rotate.
00:16:31Do you have any idea how long it's been since you came to my room?
00:16:34Shut up!
00:16:34I shook my head and pushed Reese's tail off me.
00:16:37Since that's how it is, let's cancel it.
00:16:40Cancel what?
00:16:42The rotation.
00:16:44The room went quiet in a way that felt like something cracking.
00:16:53Sophia was leaving the very next day.
00:16:56She had etiquette classes and trainings to get to.
00:16:59She has no time to keep making a scene.
00:17:02Lena, I'm so jealous of you.
00:17:05You have so many nice things.
00:17:08My mouth twitched.
00:17:10I have nothing.
00:17:11Sophia's eyes had barely left the three of them the whole room.
00:17:14Stop!
00:17:15It'll all be yours soon.
00:17:18Sophia left.
00:17:19I had somewhere to be used.
00:17:20Seeing this face just reminds me of last night.
00:17:24Where do you think you're going?
00:17:25Back to campus.
00:17:26I have some paperwork to sort out.
00:17:28I'll come with you.
00:17:29I'll come with you.
00:17:30All three stepped forward at the same time.
00:17:32Are you serious?
00:17:34You're still going?
00:17:35Have you got no shame?
00:17:36Finn elbowed Reese aside.
00:17:37Fair competition.
00:17:39You're just jealous, aren't you?
00:17:41While they argued, Kalem caught my hand.
00:17:44Take me with you.
00:17:46You dead snake!
00:17:50Enough.
00:17:51Everyone, stop.
00:17:52I shook my head.
00:17:54I'm going alone.
00:17:55No one is coming.
00:17:56Then I left.
00:17:57Of course I couldn't bring them.
00:17:58I was going back to submit paperwork for studying abroad.
00:18:04Lena, congratulations.
00:18:05Maestro Harlan almost never takes students.
00:18:08Your future is very bright.
00:18:11I walked toward the gate.
00:18:12Then I found Kalem leaning against a car, waiting.
00:18:16How did you know where I was?
00:18:18He opened the door, head bowed.
00:18:20I hesitated for a moment, then got in with him.
00:18:25Kalem, you...
00:18:26A hand pressed to the back of my head and he kissed me.
00:18:34Hard and desperate, like a small animal with no sense of safety trying to prove something.
00:18:40I was forced to tilt my head back and stay tangled up with him for a moment.
00:18:44Enough.
00:18:45I moved his hand away before it could wander.
00:18:48Kalem's tail wound around my waist, slowly tightened.
00:18:52Baby, are you going to leave me?
00:18:53I smiled, swallowing down the bitter edge beneath it.
00:18:57Who left who first?
00:18:58Stop imagining things.
00:19:00Is that so?
00:19:01He was already undoing the buttons of his shirt as he said it.
00:19:05He pressed my hand against his chest.
00:19:07Touch it for me.
00:19:08I smacked his hand away in exasperation.
00:19:11Kalem shuddered.
00:19:12Then his breathing went rougher and more wanting.
00:19:15Damn, he enjoyed that.
00:19:16You'll choose me, won't you, baby?
00:19:19I broke into a smile then.
00:19:21Of course.
00:19:22Kalem looked at me with those liquid eyes.
00:19:25Serious, the heat in them not quite gone.
00:19:28As a beast color.
00:19:29I was worried you...
00:19:30Never mind.
00:19:31A few more days, and then it's just the two of us.
00:19:34He trailed off near the end, said it too quietly.
00:19:37I didn't catch it.
00:19:59I wasn't even out of the car when I got back, and Reese came sprinting toward me.
00:20:04Bad news, Lena.
00:20:05The tiger went into pain earlier.
00:20:06Stop!
00:20:07Before, whenever one of them went into heat, I was the one who handled it.
00:20:12Under the current circumstances, I wasn't exactly eager.
00:20:16I barely touched the door handle before it flew open.
00:20:19Finn scooped me up and dropped me onto the bed.
00:20:21He searched for my lips urgently, and when he found them, a low, relieved sound left him.
00:20:27His hands moved under my clothes, setting fires.
00:20:30Lena, you're such a bad girl.
00:20:32His eyes had gone red, his ears and tail already showing in the half-shifted state.
00:20:37Finn, calm down.
00:20:40I pushed his head back.
00:20:43What's that supposed to mean?
00:20:45You're really refusing me?
00:20:46He held me too tightly, and it hurt.
00:20:49Let go.
00:20:49Keep this up in your hands.
00:21:03You're handling it yourself.
00:21:05Finn wrapped himself around me, subdued.
00:21:08No longer pushing.
00:21:09Just rubbing his cheek against my thigh.
00:21:12Quiet.
00:21:12Didn't you used to like it?
00:21:14I've got bobs.
00:21:15Susan. I looked away. Finn looked like he might cry again. Then at least touch me.
00:21:24I worked his tail with my hands. Not enough. Lower. By the time my hands were too tired to
00:21:32keep going, Finn pressed a kiss to the top of my head. Lena, you'll choose me, won't you? I could
00:21:39barely keep my eyes open. What had gotten into all three of them coming to ask me that one after
00:21:45another? I kissed his lips. Desire moved through Finn's eyes, possessive and searching, landing on
00:21:52my mouth. One week left before my birthday. The four of us held ourselves in a strange, fragile calm.
00:22:03On the day of the party, I wore a deep, plum strapless gown with a fishtail hem. The three
00:22:09beastmen looked at me like they were trying to see straight through the fabric. I pretended not to
00:22:14notice and got into the car with them. Under normal circumstances, the identity of a fake
00:22:19heiress wouldn't warrant such a formal event. But everything had been arranged far in advance,
00:22:23and business contacts were already coming to network. My parents also weren't willing to
00:22:28write off their investment in me, so the party continued. At the estate, I moved through the
00:22:33crowd with a composed smile. My mother came over, a touch of apology on her face.
00:22:38Lena, you've been away so long. Your father and I aren't trying to push you out. I just
00:22:43get along with your sister.
00:23:00I'm fine, Mom. I looked down and kept my voice level. She touched my hair.
00:23:05Tonight's your birthday. Keep your composure. Have you thought about your decision with the
00:23:09beastmen? Don't worry. I'll give you an answer you're satisfied with. I took a glass of champagne,
00:23:15looked up, and locked eyes with Sophia across the room. I smiled and lifted my glass to her.
00:23:21Be grateful, little sister. I'm not fighting you for a single thing. I stood on the balcony and made
00:23:26a call. Is everything loaded and ready? Yes. Wait at the front gate. I should be out by 10 if
00:23:31nothing
00:23:31goes wrong. Don't forget extra security. The door opened behind me. I ended the call quickly.
00:23:35Then arms came around me from behind. Lena, I'm so happy. Reese looked at me with soft, burning eyes.
00:23:42You'll choose me, won't you? Maybe it was just my imagination, but I thought I saw longing and a hint
00:23:48of humility in his eyes. Little fox, don't you trust me at all? I smiled and patted his head.
00:23:54He leaned in, eager to kiss me. Don't. My makeup. Reese followed me back into the hall.
00:24:00If he'd had his tail out right now, it would have been wagging.
00:24:07Under the attention of the room, I stepped up onto the stage. The hall quieted. The lights came down
00:24:13on me. My parents and Sophia stood at the front, closest to the stage. Kalem, Reese, and Finn stood
00:24:20below it. I looked at them one more time before I began to speak. The dim light fell across their
00:24:25faces, so I didn't see what was written there. Three faces wearing the same expression. A sick,
00:24:32consuming need to possess. Good evening, everyone. Thank you for being here. Before I give my formal
00:24:39remarks, I have something I'd like to say. First, I'm sure you're all aware by now that I'm not the
00:24:48Morrison's biological daughter. That's something that saddens me deeply. I spent 20 years in a life
00:24:56that belonged to Sophia, and I am truly sorry for that. The hall filled with murmuring. No one had
00:25:02expected me to say it here, like this. My parents' expressions faltered. My mother gave me a warning
00:25:09look. I returned it with something steady and reassuring. She'd been my mother for 20 years. She knew
00:25:20what I was doing. I'm deeply grateful to the Morrison family for raising me, and in my eyes, they will
00:25:25always be my parents. Wherever they need me, I will always show up for them. But Sophia did suffer
00:25:32because of me, and I want to do everything in my power to make that right. As you all know,
00:25:40today is
00:25:40the day I meant to choose a partner from the three Beastmen I was matched with at birth. They are
00:25:45all
00:25:46exceptional. I mention this not to boast, because in truth, everything I have always belonged to Sophia.
00:25:52Only old money families had the resources to arrange Beastman matches from childhood. It wasn't available
00:25:59to most people. I paused. Sophia's expression had gone slightly blank. Downstage, all three Beastmen had
00:26:05gone pale. Therefore, I raised my voice. I am releasing all three of my Beastmen to Sophia.
00:26:14Sophia, I won't be claiming any of them. The hall roared. My parents and Sophia were on their feet.
00:26:20Sophia's eyes blazed with something like joy. You promised me. You can't lie to me. His voice broke,
00:26:29tinged with tears. Caleb and Reese came running toward me like they'd gone mad.
00:26:54I raised a hand. The guards I'd placed moved in front of me. I ran off the stage, cut through
00:27:00the
00:27:00commotion, and was out of the estate before anyone could stop me. I got into the waiting car.
00:27:07That's my girl. I watched the live stream. Drive. I said it immediately. The three of them had
00:27:14already made it outside. Disheveled, nothing left of their polished composure from an hour ago.
00:27:19They were faster than I expected. The car sped up, but they ran behind it and didn't stop.
00:27:24Beastmen's speed was no joke. They could outrun a car on foot. Caleb slapped my window,
00:27:29his voice breaking. Lena, don't leave me. You promised. Then tried to cut off the car. The
00:27:36chassis lurched as they grabbed it. Oh my god, they're insane. They're absolutely insane.
00:27:41Cassie screamed and clung to my arm. Do something. Almost. Just as the tires were close to screaming,
00:27:48the roar of motorcycles cut through from the side. My guards pulled up alongside,
00:27:53cranked guns in hand. Each of the three got a shot. Their pace slowed. Then they fell onto the road.
00:28:17They could only watch as I drove away. Where did you even find those people? Cassie pressed
00:28:23yourself against the rear window. I pressed my fingers to my brow and let out a breath. Money.
00:28:30What can it do? And just like that, I left a mess behind me and went abroad. I enrolled at
00:28:38the
00:28:38conservatory and became a student of Maestro Harland. I had talent to begin with. Four years of hard work
00:28:45and I'd quietly built a name for myself in music, performing across countries and cities. Constant
00:28:51travel had become my normal. My parents hadn't let what happened push them away from me.
00:28:56They were practical people. The Morrison family's eldest daughter, Lena Morrison. World-class concert
00:29:03pianist. A name like that was worth something to the family. That was enough. I'd had no word of the
00:29:10three of them in years. As if the night they lost their minds chasing my car never happened at all.
00:29:16Maybe they'd gotten exactly what they wanted. Maybe they were with the one they'd loved. But that had
00:29:21nothing to do with me anymore. Once I walked away, there was no going back. The plane touched down and
00:29:27my thoughts came back to me. I put on my sunglasses and walked out of the airport. A wall of
00:29:32reporters
00:29:33pushed microphones toward me. Miss Morrison, what brings you back this time? You've been gone four
00:29:38years since you left without a word. Are you here to reclaim what's yours?
00:29:58You're still recognized as the Morrison family's eldest daughter. Are you coming back to contest the
00:30:02inheritance with your sister? You've accomplished so much. Can you say a word?
00:30:05I took off my sunglasses and looked at them with a calm smile.
00:30:09I'm here to perform at an invitation-o-mul piano recital. My relationship with the Morrison family
00:30:13is good. It's nothing like what you're imagining. Miss Morrison, the three elite beastmen who grew
00:30:18up alongside you, why did you give them up? They've each made a name for themselves since then
00:30:24in finance, entertainment, and medicine. Did they do something to betray you? Can you share anything?
00:30:29You refused to bond with them at your birthday. Was it exhaustion or something you couldn't say out
00:30:34loud? Then I said evenly, unimportant people. I forgot them a long time ago. Then I got in and drove
00:30:40away.
00:30:42Back at the villa, everything felt so familiar that it almost felt like another lifetime.
00:30:52My phone rang while I was sitting on the bed, staring at nothing.
00:30:56Hi mom.
00:30:57Lina, why didn't you come straight home?
00:30:59I turned something over in my fingers. A single white hair.
00:31:03I wanted to settle in first. I'll be over tonight.
00:31:15Come soon. We've been waiting. You're always so busy. It's been so long. We want a proper
00:31:21conversation tonight.
00:31:22Okay. I'll head over now.
00:31:23I hung up and lay back on the bed. I frowned at the ceiling, genuinely puzzled. Four years of
00:31:29housekeeping, and they still hadn't managed to get rid of every trace of them. The house was full
00:31:35of warmth when I arrived. Lina. My mother ran to me and held my face in her hands. You've lost
00:31:42weight.
00:31:42The food abroad isn't any good, is it? Come, come. Cook has made all your favorites.
00:31:48Thank you, mom. I brought gifts back from overseas for everyone. You and dad and Sophia.
00:31:54You've gone formal on us going away for a few years.
00:31:57We made small talk, and I sat down. As luck would have it, right next to Sophia. Four years. Word
00:32:05was
00:32:05she'd already been placed into a role at our father's company. Sophia tapped the table with her diamond
00:32:10tipped nails. Lina. Long time no see. Long time no see. I looked her over.
00:32:23Four years of comfortable living had done a lot for her. She sparkled, carried herself differently
00:32:29than I remembered. You left quite gracefully back then, Sophia said. Made me look bad, you know.
00:32:35Tone hard to read. I took a sip of water and genuinely didn't know what to make of that. I'd
00:32:40handed her
00:32:40three top-tier beastmen. By any measure, that was a gain. Was she upset they'd been touched by someone
00:32:46else first? That seemed petty. It wasn't that kind of era anymore. That's enough. Don't bring it up.
00:32:51Lina, now that you're back, are you planning to stay? She's not going anywhere. We're going to find
00:32:57her a good match and settle her. I hadn't even answered when my mother cut in. I poked at the
00:33:03fish
00:33:03in my bowl. Mom, that's really not something you need to do for me. I spent years grinding to get
00:33:08where I am. I didn't do that just to become someone's wife. I still have places to go
00:33:13and things to see. My mother went quiet. She looked at me for a moment. Then her smile faded slowly.
00:33:46She was distracted for the rest of the meal. After dinner, my father called me into a study.
00:33:53He transferred a portion of the company's shares into my name. The condition was that I continue as
00:33:59a public ambassador for the brand. Sophia had a rough childhood, so she'll take the larger share
00:34:04of the company. Any objections? I've already begun training her in management. No objection. I looked
00:34:12out calmly at the dark evening and thought of the sky above Lake Takapo in New Zealand. That absolute,
00:34:18clean kind of dark. Nothing like here. My father let out a long breath. He seemed like he had more
00:34:25to say.
00:34:25You were always too headstrong. If you'd stayed and fought back then, things might have been
00:34:30different. Thank you, Dad. But I only want to play piano. I'm not going to fight Sophia for anything.
00:34:37I pulled the door open to leave and found Sophia standing right outside it. I glanced at her and
00:34:42went downstairs. Wait! Sophia followed, then stopped in front of me with an oddly uncomfortable expression.
00:34:49Did you mean what you said in there? Of course. I have my own career now. I have no interest
00:34:55in the
00:34:55company. You'd better mean it. Sophia said, lifting her chin. And by the way, your beastmen refused to go
00:35:02with me no matter what. I never touched them.
00:35:14That sentence made me stop breathing for a second. Then I pulled myself back together.
00:35:18That has nothing to do with me anymore. It's their choice.
00:35:22What do you mean? Sophia looked genuinely puzzled.
00:35:25I have nothing to do with those three. They're terrifying. I don't know how you ever liked that type.
00:35:32When you left, they nearly came apart. She paused.
00:35:36Oh, actually, you should just hear it from them. Here they come.
00:35:40I looked into the living room. There they were. Four years and none of them looked much different.
00:35:47If what Sophia said was true and she'd never taken them, they would have been processed by the
00:35:52Beastman registry and placed into work independently. Not a hardship for them. They'd always been in elite
00:36:00programs, even back in school, in their own specialized tracks alongside my international curriculum,
00:36:05trained to the highest standard in everything.
00:36:09Lena.
00:36:10Calum spoke first. His eyes were fixed on me. Hurt and hoping.
00:36:19I changed direction and walked toward the door.
00:36:25I have nothing to say to any of you. What's done is done. Don't come looking for me again.
00:36:29I got in the car and left.
00:36:32When I got home, I went straight to the piano room and played for hours before I finally stopped,
00:36:38breathing hard. Sophia's words kept circling in my head.
00:36:42Was she lying to me? But what would she gain from that?
00:36:45If what she said is true, then what happened back then was a misunderstanding.
00:36:49So what made them say something that cruel? I couldn't work it out.
00:36:53I poured a glass of red wine and sat in the armchair by the floor-to-ceiling window.
00:36:57Shadows moved outside, then were still. I narrowed my eyes, then picked up my phone.
00:37:03Add extra guards outside. Everyone keeps a tramp gun on hand.
00:37:06After that, I went contentedly to sleep.
00:37:08I woke up because I couldn't breathe.
00:37:10When I finally got my eyes open, I was wrapped up tight in someone's arms.
00:37:15I knew it.
00:37:16Let go.
00:37:17I said it through my teeth.
00:37:24Finn was the closest one, his face lifting from where it had been pressed against my neck.
00:37:29Lena, if I let go, are you going to run again?
00:37:31Reese had his arm around my waist. His large tail looped around my legs.
00:37:36Baby, to you we're just unimportant people? You actually said that. You promised me.
00:37:41Calum's arms encircled me from behind.
00:37:43I'm sorry.
00:37:44The dark tail tip grazing my lips.
00:37:46Please, this time, don't leave me. You can bite me if you want.
00:37:49As long as you're not angry, I'll take anything.
00:37:52Reese's tail shot into my hand.
00:37:53Then pull my fur, too. Pull it bald if you want.
00:37:56Stop it, all of you! Are you trying to suffocate me?
00:37:59They pressed in again.
00:38:01Hot lips touched the back of my neck.
00:38:04Lena, four years.
00:38:06Do you know what these four years were like for me?
00:38:08I clenched my fist.
00:38:09This is all an act now.
00:38:10Didn't you say it yourselves?
00:38:12You both loved Sophia so much.
00:38:14Said she was gentle.
00:38:15Said whoever I picked was unlucky.
00:38:18Didn't you want to be with her?
00:38:20Now that it turns out you couldn't manage to stay in her life, you come back to me?
00:38:23That's not it. I never liked her.
00:38:25I never liked her.
00:38:26All three denied it immediately.
00:38:28Stop pretending.
00:38:30I read your chat.
00:38:32You hated me biting your tail.
00:38:35You hated me pulling your fur.
00:38:38I...
00:38:50I don't know what to do.
00:38:51I don't know what to do.
00:38:51I don't know what to do.
00:38:52I don't know what to do.
00:38:52I don't know what to do.
00:38:53I don't know what to do.
00:38:53I don't know what to do.
00:38:53I don't know what to do.

00:59:49Kalem's arms encircled me from behind.
00:59:51I'm sorry.

00:59:54Please this time, don't leave me. You can bite me if you want.
00:59:57As long as you're not angry, I'll take anything.
00:59:59Reese's tail shot into my hand.

01:00:15I clenched my fist.
01:00:17This is all an act now.
