00:00I was an alpha wolf and a hitman.
00:03After a one night stand with the Lycan king, I wound up pregnant.
00:08Given my line of work, I had no other option but to leave the pup on his doorstep and run.
00:15Three years later, our paths crossed again, and he stopped me before I could bolt.
00:21Come home with me and meet our baby boy.
00:23I was an alpha wolf, a killer, a lone king, tall, broad-shouldered, with eyes like molten silver, and a
00:33jaw sharp enough to cut glass.
00:35That night, even drugged and half-conscious, his wolf radiated power that made my own alpha instincts want to submit.
00:42He told myself it was just the drugs.
00:45Half a month later, I found out I was pregnant.
00:48My wolf howled inside my chest not with joy, but with sheer, primal panic.
00:54A lone wolf didn't raise pups.
00:56A hitman didn't bring a child into this world.
00:59I muttered under my breath,
01:03Fuck.
01:04My wolf ears pinned flat against my skull.
01:07My tail bristled between my legs.
01:10How the hell was a drifter like me supposed to raise a child?
01:14After giving birth, I hardened my heart and left the newborn on Marcus' doorstep.
01:19I ignored his heartbreaking cries and fled without a glance back.
01:24Three years later, the organization I worked for got taken down, and I ended up scraping by as a beast
01:30fighter in the arena.
01:32One day, I spotted Marcus sitting in the VIP section.
01:37He didn't recognize me.
01:39He was just there to watch the fights.
01:42The little boy in his arms was glued to the arena.
01:45My face darkened.
01:47Is this Lycan king totally clueless about being a father?
01:53Who brings a two-year-old to a place like this?
01:57Has he lost his mind?
01:59My heart sank with regret.
02:01I should have known better than to leave the kid with him.
02:04A man that brutal in bed was hardly father material.
02:07I cursed him in my head while dodging the centaur's charge.
02:11The beast thundered past,
02:13hoof sparking against the blood-soaked sand.
02:16I spun low, swept my leg under his forelegs.
02:19He crashed onto his side.
02:21Before he could rise, I vaulted onto his human back,
02:25wrapped my arm around his throat,
02:27and squeezed until his eyes rolled white.
02:29The crowd roared.
02:31Sand and sweat stung my eyes.
02:34I won that fight without even shifting.
02:36I won that fight effortlessly.
02:41As I headed toward the private locker room
02:43with a towel slung over my shoulder,
02:45I suddenly felt a pair of eyes lock onto me.
02:48It was Marcus.
02:49He stared down at me,
02:51his gaze dark and unreadable.
02:53For a second,
02:54I almost thought he might have come looking for me.
02:57But soon,
02:58his icy gaze shifted back to the sand.
03:01That night three years ago,
03:02Marcus had been drugged.
03:04The lights were off.
03:06Halfway through,
03:07I had slipped him extra sleeping pills.
03:10He should have woken up after me.
03:13I told myself there was nothing to worry about
03:15and strolled casually into the bathroom.
03:18Stripping off my sweat-soaked clothes,
03:20I turned on the shower.
03:23The water was running full blast,
03:26but I still heard heavy footsteps outside slow,
03:28steady,
03:29heading straight for the bathroom.
03:33The guy stopped right outside the door.
03:37Not knocking or doing a thing.
03:39From the sound of it,
03:41he was half a head taller than me,
03:42not bad on his feet.
03:45Those measured,
03:46deliberate footsteps were clearly meant for me to hear.
03:50I blinked.
03:51I blinked.
03:52Could it be?
03:53I rinsed off fast and stepped out.
03:57Marcus was leaning against the doorframe,
03:59bored out of his mind.
04:02Hearing me,
04:03he slowly looked up.
04:05His eyes were calm and deep,
04:07his voice flat.
04:08Have we met before?
04:09My blood ran cold,
04:12but I played it cool.
04:14Stop kidding,
04:15your majesty.
04:16How would someone like me
04:18ever meet a big shot like you?
04:20He didn't reply.
04:24After a long silence,
04:26he suddenly leaned in close to my neck.
04:29I instinctively stepped back,
04:32clutching my gland,
04:33every nerve on high alert.
04:36What's wrong?
04:37I asked.
04:38Marcus straightened up,
04:40a cryptic laugh escaping him.
04:43Your pheromone smells familiar.
04:46At times like this,
04:48I'm truly grateful.
04:49The pheromone my hitman parents left me is bland enough.
04:55Chamomile,
04:56you can smell that anywhere.
04:57Nothing special.
05:00Really?
05:01He gave a meaningful smile.
05:03My mistake then.
05:05See you tomorrow.
05:07Then he turned and walked away without hesitation.
05:11I wiped the cold sweat off my forehead,
05:13slumped against the wall.
05:16Like hell I was seeing him tomorrow.
05:19I quit that very day and moved out,
05:21getting as far away as I could.
05:25But two days later,
05:27I ran into that pain in the ass again.
05:32I was covering a shift for my sick friend at the bar.
05:38Then an Omega went into heat.
05:40I had to escort the Omega out,
05:43and help him inject suppressants.
05:47That chaos finally ended.
05:49I slipped into the bathroom,
05:51took care of my own problem.
05:54I was too broke to afford suppressants,
05:57so I had to handle it myself.
05:59The out of order sign was already up.
06:02So I stopped hiding my pheromone and let it unfurl,
06:05filling the bathroom with my chamomile scent.
06:09I was sitting on the toilet,
06:11mind starting to drift,
06:13when someone knocked on the door.
06:17A guy's deep voice came through.
06:21Get out!
06:23I frowned.
06:25I hadn't killed anyone since I quit the hitman life,
06:28and my temper had gotten way better.
06:30But right then,
06:32I was this close.
06:33I cursed under my breath.
06:35That bastard out there better have a damn good reason,
06:38or he'll get one.
06:40The second my hand hit the doorknob,
06:42I caught a whiff of something way too familiar.
06:44The rich,
06:46heady scent of blackrant took over the whole room,
06:48shoving my own pheromone into some little corner.
06:52That glass,
06:54that scent,
06:55I had only ever smelled it on one guy before.
06:57My hand froze mid-move.
06:59My throat tightening.
07:03Fuck.
07:04Just my luck.
07:08I scratched my head,
07:09annoyed,
07:10pulled a scar from my pocket,
07:12and tied it around my face.
07:15I checked my reflection on my phone
07:17to make sure no one could tell it was me.
07:21Then I slowly opened the door.
07:24Outside,
07:25Marcus stood there with his arms crossed,
07:27looking relaxed.
07:29Seeing me sneaking out like some guilty thief,
07:31he got straight to it.
07:34Why did you quit the arena?
07:36Why did you quit the arena?
07:37My fingers curled slightly.
07:39I lowered my voice and played dumb.
07:42Sir,
07:43what are you talking about?
07:45His eyes narrowed,
07:46a mocking grin on his face as he reached for my face.
07:49I blocked it swiftly,
07:52still spinning lies.
07:54Sir,
07:55I'm having an allergic reaction.
07:58My face is all swollen.
08:01Too embarrassing to show anyone.
08:04He pulled his hand back,
08:05smiling.
08:08Nice block.
08:09Very professional.
08:11Of course it was.
08:13Basically automatic.
08:14But I wouldn't admit it.
08:16I laughed it off.
08:18I picked up a few basics.
08:23Marcus switched it up.
08:25Someone used that same block on me three years back.
08:29He didn't win though.
08:31A jolt shot through me,
08:33and I froze,
08:34holding my breath.
08:36Did he recognize me?
08:38Before I knew it,
08:39the scarf was ripped off my face.
08:42Marcus twirled it lazily in his fingers,
08:45smirking.
08:46Jeffrey,
08:48you forgot?
08:50I tied this scarf around your neck
08:51to stop the bleeding back then.
08:53My eyes widened,
08:54and I tried to run.
08:56But Marcus was quicker.
08:58His hand locked around the back of my neck,
09:00slamming me back against the door.
09:02I fought like crazy,
09:04but he didn't move an inch.
09:05How embarrassing.
09:07I couldn't beat him three years ago.
09:09And I still couldn't now.
09:11It pissed me off.
09:13He never even liked me.
09:15Otherwise,
09:16why hadn't he come looking for me once in three years?
09:19With his resources,
09:21he should have tracked me down in three days.
09:24So what was this now?
09:25What was he playing at?
09:30I dropped the act and snarled.
09:33What do you want?
09:35Marcus let go.
09:38Fred has been whining for you.
09:41Come back to calm him down.
09:42I frowned,
09:44keeping my voice low.
09:46Just get someone else.
09:48He's too young to remember anyway.
09:50Marcus' face darkened.
09:52You don't feel a thing for him?
09:55He's your own son.
09:57Honestly,
09:58I didn't.
09:59Blood ties never meant a thing to me.
10:01When I was 13,
10:03my hitman parents sold me out of the pack
10:05to pay their blood debt.
10:08So when they were waiting for me to save them,
10:11I scented the wind,
10:13read the hunt,
10:15sniffed what little they were worth to me,
10:18and turned tail,
10:20not worth the blood price.
10:23That was why
10:24when the organization
10:24got taken down three years ago,
10:27I was the only lone wolf still standing.
10:30Being cold-blooded kept me alive.
10:33That was what my parents taught me.
10:37Marcus couldn't tell what I was thinking.
10:40He saw me go quiet,
10:41and his eyes went hard for a split second.
10:44He didn't bother talking.
10:46He undid his tie,
10:48tied my hands with it,
10:49and hoisted me over his shoulder.
10:53I snapped.
10:54You fucking crazy!
10:56Just pay someone else to play mom!
10:57The boy is two,
10:59and he doesn't know anything!
11:00What?
11:00You think he's some kind of genius?
11:03He got fed up with my noise,
11:05so he yanked out the scarf
11:06and shoved it in to shut me up.
11:12All that rage sat heavy in my chest.
11:15Back home,
11:16Marcus tossed me onto the couch.
11:19I heard the pitter-patter of slippers from upstairs.
11:22A minute later,
11:23a chubby little boy came running over,
11:25a little bow and arrow in his hands.
11:28He pulled the scarf out of my mouth,
11:30stared at me for a while,
11:32then said,
11:34It's him!
11:35I was baffled.
11:36How did you know it was me?
11:39He pressed his lips into a thin line,
11:42utterly serious.
11:46You look like the type to dump your kid on someone.
11:50I heard Marcus snickering over there.
11:53My face burned with embarrassment,
11:55and I quickly looked away.
11:58Then something occurred to me,
12:00and I turned back,
12:01puzzled.
12:03Why aren't you asking why I left you back then?
12:06Alfred Livingston thought about it.
12:09You couldn't feed me, I guess.
12:12You look pretty broke.
12:13I laughed in exasperation.
12:16He really knew how to hit where it hurt.
12:19He definitely got that sharp tongue from that bastard.
12:22Marcus.
12:26Put down your little bow and arrow.
12:28All you do is talk in memes.
12:30I rolled over,
12:32annoyed.
12:33This little brat didn't even seem like he missed me.
12:36If Marcus was telling the truth,
12:38he should be happy to see me,
12:40at least reaching up for a hug or something.
12:45I poked his chubby cheek.
12:47Hey,
12:48your dad said you were whining for your mom.
12:51Is that true?
12:55He looked at me and shook his head.
12:57No!
13:00I knew it.
13:02I glared at Marcus,
13:03pissed.
13:04But he didn't look embarrassed at all.
13:07Instead,
13:08he turned it around and made me the bad guy.
13:11I never thought you'd be this reluctant to see your own son.
13:16How cold and unfeeling.
13:18I looked back at Alfred.
13:20He looked pretty sad.
13:23Feeling bad,
13:24I rubbed his head to make him feel better.
13:26But I was rusty at this parenting thing.
13:28and I ended up messing up his hair.
13:30He forgot about being sad.
13:32He clutched his head,
13:33face all scrunched up,
13:35and ran upstairs.
13:39I felt a twinge of guilt.
13:41Hey,
13:42buddy,
13:42are you mad?
13:45Marcus slowly poured me some water.
13:47He styled his hair when he heard you were coming.
13:50And then you went and messed it up.
13:52Yeah,
13:53he's mad.
13:53My lashes fluttered.
13:55For once,
13:56I didn't snap back.
13:58I said calmly,
14:01all right,
14:02spill it.
14:03What's going on?
14:04That whole act was clearly to get Alfred out of the room.
14:09Marcus wanted to talk to me alone.
14:11And I really wanted to know why he went through all this trouble to drag me back here.
14:17He grabbed some files from the bookshelf and tossed them my way.
14:23Fred is sick.
14:26The doctor said it was from prolonged nutrient deficiency in the womb.
14:33His glands are underdeveloped.
14:38He needs cord blood
14:41from a full sibling
14:42to make some pheromone induction drugs.
14:49My face dropped.
14:50I was pissed.
14:51Why didn't you say so from the start?
14:54He sat on something this critical.
14:56Marcus shot me a pointed look.
15:03I didn't know if you'd go for it,
15:05so I wanted to see how you felt about Fred.
15:07Good thing you don't hate him.
15:09Otherwise,
15:10even if I had to force it,
15:11I'd make sure you carried the baby to term.
15:14I sighed.
15:15I wasn't exactly the sentimental type,
15:18but I put Alfred in this mess.
15:21The least I could do was get him fixed up.
15:25I jerked my chin at Marcus.
15:28What do you need from me?
15:30He looked me dead in the eye.
15:33You know,
15:33Alpha's gestational spegs sit deep
15:35and are mostly atrophiated.
15:38Right?
15:40Yeah.
15:43Current IVF tech can't get them pregnant,
15:46so...
15:46Why beat around the bush?
15:51I cut straight to it.
15:53So we gotta fuck till I'm pregnant.
15:55That's it?
15:57Marcus pressed his lips together.
15:58Something playful creeping into his eyes.
16:01Yes.
16:02I raised an eyebrow without hesitation.
16:05Alright.
16:07Then something clicked,
16:08and I wavered.
16:11If I get pregnant,
16:12I can't work.
16:13Will you cover my lost wages?
16:15Marcus nodded like it was obvious.
16:19Fair enough.
16:21Give your bank info to my beta.
16:23He'll transfer you money every month.
16:26Anything else?
16:27I shook my head.
16:29No.
16:31He gestured,
16:32and the beta came over.
16:34Marcus pointed at me,
16:35his voice flat.
16:37Take him to bathe.
16:40I cleared my throat.
16:42Cheeks burning.
16:44Already?
16:44Don't we need to get lunch first?
16:47And...
16:47Don't we need prep?
16:49I'm an Alpha,
16:50so I'm tough.
16:51But it still hurts.
16:53Memories of the first time flooded back.
16:55It was an absolute nightmare.
16:57Marcus was drugged out of his mind,
16:59running on pure instinct fast,
17:01brutal,
17:02like I was his enemy.
17:05I nearly died right there in his bed.
17:08Even as a hitman,
17:10I had never gotten hurt down there.
17:13The pain was one thing,
17:15but the humiliation lingered.
17:18And it messed with my daily life.
17:23This time,
17:24I was hoping he'd go easy on me.
17:27Yeah,
17:28I had a son,
17:29but I had only been fucked once.
17:31He couldn't start with anything too intense.
17:33I wasn't built for it,
17:35and I wasn't that flexible.
17:37I was kind of nervous inside,
17:39secretly hoping he had gotten better in bed over the years.
17:43Marcus stepped closer,
17:44backing me against the wall.
17:48One hand braced beside my head.
17:50The other found my waist.
17:52His thumb traced slow circles over my hip bone,
17:55pressing just hard enough to hold me there.
17:59He leaned in,
18:00close enough that I could feel the heat coming off his chest.
18:04But he didn't touch me anywhere else.
18:06Close enough to ghost over it.
18:08No rush.
18:13I'll get everything ready.
18:15His fingers tightened on my waist slightly,
18:18then loosened,
18:19like he was stopping himself.
18:21Relax.
18:22I won't stop caring for you just because you're an alpha.
18:25He pulled back just enough to look me in the eyes,
18:28his gaze dark,
18:29unhurried,
18:30amused.
18:32It sounded like flirting,
18:34and it gave me a weird,
18:36tingly feeling.
18:37I opened my mouth,
18:38then closed it.
18:40Nothing came out.
18:41Yeah,
18:42he had that rich CEO vibe.
18:44But why was he playing on the charm with me?
18:46What the hell was this?
18:48Some cheesy romance drama?
18:52Marcus said the best time to get pregnant was during his rut.
18:56That was when alphas were super fertile.
18:58The doctor said his rut hit next week.
19:01And here I am,
19:02still kind of nervous.
19:06I watched his box after box of lube was hauled into the bedroom,
19:09and my smile died.
19:12Seriously?
19:13Did we really need that much?
19:14What did he think I was?
19:16I wasn't made of steel down there, okay?
19:19Then I caught sight of Alfred in the doorway with those round eyes of his,
19:23and I swallowed my panic.
19:25Whatever.
19:26For his health,
19:27I'd suck it up.
19:29Over the past few days,
19:31Marcus' pheromones had begun to stir.
19:34When he looked up at me that morning,
19:36his eyes darted briefly to my lips.
19:39I would have totally missed it without all that organization training.
19:43I knew the day had finally come.
19:47That night,
19:47I jumped in the shower as soon as I hit the bedroom.
19:52I just got back from the arena,
19:54reeking of sweat.
19:56If I didn't wash up,
19:58Marcus would break my ribs.
20:01Before I even made it to bed.
20:03No way I was going head to head with him.
20:06I had no idea when he got back.
20:10But when I stepped out of the shower,
20:13he was already sitting at the edge of the bed in silence.
20:18Hands braced loosely at his sides.
20:20His sharp gaze raking over me.
20:24I froze mid-step,
20:25my throat bobbing.
20:27He crooked his finger at me.
20:29I relaxed and walked over.
20:31As soon as I got close,
20:33he grabbed my wrist,
20:35yanked me into his arms.
20:37He dipped his head and sniffed my gland,
20:40voice gravelly.
20:44Scared?
20:47I tensed up,
20:48clutching the sheets beneath me as I blinked hard.
20:56No.
20:57Just another job.
20:58If you're gonna do this, hurry up.
21:01Miss this heat window,
21:02and who knows when I'll get pregnant again.
21:05Marcus's fertility.
21:06No way it's that strong.
21:09Get alpha pregnant twice,
21:11outside a rut.
21:12That'd be seriously humiliating.
21:15He pinned me down on the bed.
21:18His hips ground into mine,
21:20slow and hard at the same time.
21:23I gasped,
21:24then shoved at his chest.
21:30Wait!
21:31He caught my face in one hand,
21:33thumb pressing against my lower lip.
21:39Stop fighting me,
21:40struggling to catch my breath.
21:44Hold up!
21:45I panted.
21:46He answered by dragging his teeth down my throat.
21:50Wait!
21:51Stop!
21:53Hold up!
21:54Don't!
21:55Marcus paused.
21:57He leaned in,
21:58ear to my lips,
21:59voice rough.
22:03What's up?
22:04My breath came in ragged bursts.
22:08Half time.
22:10I begged.
22:11I need a break.
22:17Sure.
22:18He wrapped one arm around my waist
22:20and shifted us around
22:21so I was sitting fully in his lap,
22:23giving me something to hold on to.
22:26I went limp against him,
22:28squeezing my eyes shut
22:29like my life was over.
22:31It was just as overwhelming
22:33as it had been the first time.
22:35I had already pushed out one baby,
22:37so why the hell was I still so tight?
22:39It was just like our first time.
22:42Exhausting and brutal.
22:43Back then,
22:44at least I could pop some painkillers
22:46halfway through
22:47and let them kick in.
22:50This time,
22:51I had to feel everything clearly.
22:54I wasn't even done
22:55feeling sorry for myself.
22:57Then the pheromones in the air
22:59came rushing back.
23:01Marcus' temperature shot up,
23:03his lips back on my nape,
23:05rubbing softly.
23:06His dry mouth rasped
23:08against my gland.
23:10The rush so intense
23:12that everything went blurry.
23:14Don't!
23:15I let out a low moan
23:16before I could stop myself.
23:18My warning carrying no weight.
23:20He patted my waist.
23:22Break is over.
23:24I glanced at the alarm clock
23:26on the knitstand and snapped.
23:28It's just been five minutes.
23:30His deep voice vibrated
23:32against my skin.
23:33He rubbed up on my gland,
23:35and I couldn't tell
23:36what was real anymore.
23:38Time is money.
23:40Can't waste it.
23:41I felt my eye twitch.
23:45Regular alphas had ruts
23:46lasting three or four days.
23:48S-class ones,
23:49lichen king,
23:50a solid seven days.
23:53Those seven days,
23:54Marcus worked me over,
23:56cycling through every
23:57impossible position imaginable.
24:00I was ready to curse him out.
24:01I was ready to curse him out
24:02halfway through,
24:02but he had an answer
24:03for everything.
24:07The doctor said
24:08this helps with conception.
24:10Did I buy it?
24:12But I had no choice.
24:17If I didn't get pregnant,
24:18we'd be right back here
24:19next cycle,
24:20and somehow it'd be my fault
24:22for not trying hard enough.
24:24I finally made it through
24:26Marcus' rut.
24:27I crashed onto the bed,
24:28totally wiped out,
24:30my head pounding nonstop.
24:34I dragged myself back to reality
24:36and elbowed him.
24:38Test results take at least a week.
24:41I gotta work during that.
24:43He frowned,
24:44genuinely confused.
24:49Work?
24:50You mean the arena fighting?
24:52Didn't my beta pay you?
24:55Why do you still have to work?
24:57I forced patience into my voice.
24:59A different job.
25:01I've got nothing going on anyway,
25:03so I might as well
25:03make some extra money.
25:05Marcus' eyes cut into me,
25:07sharp and unreadable.
25:12Jeffrey,
25:13you always seem broke.
25:15From what I hear,
25:17a fighter of your caliber
25:19earns $2,000 a fight.
25:22You do three or four fights a week,
25:24that's at least $24,000 a month.
25:26So how come you couldn't even afford
25:28the cheapest suppressor?
25:31When I saw you that day.
25:36Just burn through money fast,
25:38I guess.
25:40I looked away like it was nothing.
25:43Marcus narrowed his eyes.
25:45He didn't buy it for a second,
25:47but he let it drop.
25:49He pulled a black card from his wallet
25:51and held it out.
25:55Use it when you need money.
25:57I took it,
25:58stunned,
25:59and asked on a strange impulse.
26:02We barely know each other.
26:05And you're handing me your card?
26:07You really don't think I'll take your money
26:09and do something dirty with it?
26:12When they trace it back,
26:14you can't prove it wasn't you.
26:17Don't forget,
26:18I'm a hitman.
26:19Marcus leaned back against the headboard,
26:21checking me out like he had all the time in the world.
26:25Instead,
26:26he said with absolute certainty,
26:29You won't.
26:30I felt exposed,
26:32hot with embarrassment,
26:33and snarled.
26:35What makes you so sure?
26:37He chuckled softly,
26:40twining his fingers through my sweaty hair.
26:45When I brought Fred home,
26:47I looked into you.
26:49You've done 31 missions over the years.
26:52All your targets were dead weight in office,
26:55corrupt officials,
26:56and moral degenerates.
26:58You might not be a saint,
26:59but you're no villain either.
27:04That's beneath you.
27:05His words got my blood pumping.
27:07For a second there,
27:08I almost believed I was some kind of hero.
27:11I pursed my lips and shut up,
27:13no longer bugging him about going back to work.
27:19What he meant was obvious.
27:20If he wanted to dig,
27:22he'd find everything.
27:23There was no point hiding stuff from him.
27:27So I used his card for everything.
27:30A week went by.
27:33To my surprise,
27:34I wasn't pregnant.
27:36That made absolutely no sense.
27:38Last time,
27:39I got pregnant even when Marcus wasn't in rut.
27:42This time,
27:43we did everything right.
27:45So why nothing?
27:48I looked at him.
27:49His face was blank,
27:51giving nothing away.
27:52He had to be upset,
27:54probably questioning himself.
27:56But then again,
27:57he was almost 30 age,
27:59caught up with everyone.
28:00Great sex didn't mean anything
28:01if we couldn't make a baby.
28:06I gave Marcus a knowing pat on the shoulder.
28:09As a guy myself,
28:10I got it.
28:11Now that I thought about it,
28:13he should be thanking me.
28:14If I hadn't given him a son three years ago,
28:17he'd still be praying for one.
28:19My mind was racing with all kinds of wild thoughts.
28:23Then I turned,
28:25and saw Marcus' face go serious.
28:29He slid the report across to me.
28:31I looked down.
28:33My report read,
28:34Chronic administration of aphrodisiac drugs.
28:37Alpha gland atrophy observed.
28:40Reproductive cavity demonstrates diminished viability.
28:44He jabbed at the report,
28:46his words coming out hard and slow.
28:49Jeffrey,
28:50you'd better start explaining yourself.
28:54Yeah,
28:54he deserved to know.
28:56After all,
28:57we were in this together.
28:58I felt his eyes burning a hole in my head.
29:02I tried to find the right words.
29:06Remember when you asked why I'm so broke?
29:10Three years ago,
29:12everyone in the organization was being hunted down.
29:16I was on the run when some young guy saved me.
29:20He took seven bullets
29:21and was barely clinging to life.
29:23My face was on every wanted poster,
29:26so I couldn't take him to a proper hospital.
29:30I carried him to some back alley clinic instead.
29:33The doctor saw his chance
29:35and gouged me on the price.
29:36I couldn't pay,
29:38so he offered a deal.
29:40I could work it off with my pheromones
29:43after I gave birth.
29:45$5,000 per vial.
29:47I gave 10 vials in total.
29:53You know the rest.
29:56Six months ago,
29:58I found that arena
29:58and started fighting for money.
30:00I spilled everything,
30:02but Marcus went quiet,
30:04thinking hard.
30:06Finally,
30:07he asked,
30:08You said you were being hunted three years ago?
30:10Where?
30:10November 1345 Industrial Road,
30:14Las Vegas.
30:15He narrowed his eyes.
30:17Is that young guy still alive?
30:19Somehow,
30:20his question dripped
30:21with barely contained fury.
30:26He's a vegetable,
30:27still receiving treatment
30:29at that same clinic.
30:30What's wrong?
30:33Marcus sneered,
30:35his voice turning menacing.
30:39Perfect.
30:40Now I were to find him.
30:42He got up,
30:43his long fingers grazing the gland
30:45at the back of my neck,
30:46pressing down twice,
30:47firm but not rough.
30:51Now,
30:51it's time for some people to pay.
30:54I got in the car with Marcus.
30:56While waiting at a red light,
30:58he made a quick call.
31:02Yeah,
31:03I'll send you the address.
31:04Bring more guys over
31:05and raid that place in one go.
31:08He sounded seriously pissed.
31:11I sat there with my hands folded,
31:13quietly on edge.
31:15What the hell did Ethan Morse
31:16do to get on Marcus' bathroom?
31:17sad side.
31:18Was that sketchy Dr. Cedric Bowen
31:20behind this?
31:24Completely baffled,
31:25I stared at Marcus,
31:26wanting to ask but not daring to.
31:29He kept his eyes on the road ahead,
31:32then suddenly said out of nowhere,
31:34Go ahead.
31:35What do you want to ask?
31:40Who are we going after?
31:42I asked.
31:43He gave me a long look,
31:45then dodged my question.
31:48You dumped Fred on me
31:49because of that guy,
31:50didn't you?
31:51I looked away.
31:52Not exactly.
31:54He let out a cold laugh.
31:56Trying to cover for him?
31:59He was being weirdly snarky,
32:01but I knew better than to take it personally.
32:03He was probably mad for Alfred's sake,
32:07thinking it wasn't fair to him.
32:10But I had to set the record straight.
32:12I wasn't about to let innocent people take the fall.
32:17I didn't dump Fred
32:19to save money for Ethan's treatment.
32:21It was the whole registration thing.
32:25I was a hitman with people after me.
32:27Having him on my record
32:28would be way too risky.
32:31I might be cold,
32:32but I wasn't evil.
32:33I didn't want to drag
32:34some innocent kid in my mess.
32:36After I said my piece,
32:38Marcus' face relaxed a bit,
32:39his body no longer as tense as before.
32:43But he still wouldn't tell me
32:45what he was actually up to.
32:46He kept it a secret,
32:48and it was driving me nuts.
32:49It was a four-hour drive
32:51from Los Angeles to Las Vegas.
32:53I sat in the passenger seat,
32:55uneasy and restless.
32:59If Marcus was going after Cedric,
33:01I'd be all for it.
33:03But obviously he wasn't
33:04letting anyone off easy.
33:06I fiddled with the dagger in my hand,
33:09distracted.
33:11By the time I came back to my senses,
33:14the car had stopped.
33:18Marcus got out and walked straight
33:20into that creepy-looking clinic.
33:22I followed right behind him.
33:26The door flew open as he picked it in.
33:29Cedric came stomping over
33:30at the commotion.
33:32What's going on?
33:33No consultations today.
33:35Go on home.
33:36He froze mid-sentence
33:37when he saw who it was.
33:40Well, Mr. Livingston,
33:42to what do I owe the pleasure?
33:43Then his eyes landed on me,
33:45and he furrowed his brow.
33:53Mr. Livingston,
33:54don't listen to his nonsense.
33:55I'm running a clean business here.
33:57No price gouging, I promise.
33:58That's bullshit.
34:00With me,
34:01he acted like a ruthless lone shark,
34:03but in front of Marcus,
34:05he was all bows and scrapes.
34:07I hadn't even finished thinking
34:08what a piece of work he was
34:10when Marcus booted him out of the way,
34:13and strode straight into the back room.
34:17In the room,
34:18Ethan was lying there on the bed,
34:20not moving.
34:22Marcus leaned against the wall,
34:24his eyes narrowing.
34:27Name your price.
34:28How much to finish him off?
34:31Before I could get a word out,
34:33Cedric stepped in front of the bed
34:34with a shaky grin.
34:40Come on,
34:41Mr. Livingston.
34:42I'm a doctor,
34:43and I save lives.
34:44I don't do that kind of stuff.
34:47I subtly rolled my eyes.
34:49Then it all clicked.
34:52Cedric never gave a damn
34:54who lived or died.
34:55Back when I couldn't pay,
34:57he said.
34:58No money,
34:59no care for Ethan.
35:00Let him rot.
35:02But now,
35:02he was willing to piss off Marcus
35:04just to keep Ethan breathing.
35:07The truth was,
35:08they had been working together
35:10all along.
35:12My rage flared up.
35:13I balled up my fists
35:15and was about to storm in
35:16when Marcus grabbed my arm.
35:18He patted the back of my hand,
35:20telling me to cool it.
35:23I gritted my teeth,
35:25swallowing my anger
35:26as I stepped back.
35:28Marcus stepped up to the bed.
35:30He stared down at Ethan,
35:32whose breathing was getting ragged.
35:36Get the hell up!
35:37He barked.
35:39You think I'm stupid or what?
35:44Ethan bolted upright
35:45and dropped to his knees.
35:48Cedric also flinched in terror,
35:50his legs giving out
35:52as he collapsed to the floor.
35:54Both of them went white as sheets,
35:56trembling as they begged for mercy.
35:58Mr. Livingston,
35:59we're sorry.
36:01We were just trying
36:03to scam some money together.
36:04we meant no harm.
36:06Marcus scoffed.
36:08No harm?
36:12Taking ten vials
36:13of Jeffrey's pheromones,
36:14is that what you call no harm?
36:19Cedric,
36:20I've always turned a blind eye
36:22to your antics
36:23out of respect for your dad.
36:25But you went after
36:26the wrong person this time.
36:28You're done.
36:30Right on cue,
36:30several bodyguards
36:32in sharp black suits
36:33showed up out of nowhere.
36:34They grabbed the two
36:36and hauled them out.
36:38Marcus wasn't rushing off,
36:39though.
36:40He took his sweet time
36:42going through the ledger,
36:43bossing his people around
36:44to load everything up.
36:47I was stunned.
36:49So he brought the whole crew
36:50to grab the money.
36:53I was wondering why we needed
36:54so many hands
36:55for just two guys.
36:57I could have handled them myself,
36:59quick and easy.
37:01It turned out that he needed
37:03muscle to move the goods.
37:07Get over here.
37:08Marcus waved me over.
37:10I sauntered up,
37:11playing it cool.
37:13Yeah?
37:14He pointed at where
37:15I had been standing.
37:17Pry that open.
37:18I glanced down
37:19at the ledger in his hands,
37:21puzzled.
37:22Why had they bought
37:23so much rubber?
37:25Curiosity burned in me,
37:26but I didn't dare
37:27open my mouth.
37:29Marcus' face darkened,
37:30and he looked seriously pissed,
37:32like he had walked in
37:33on his wife with another guy.
37:35The wooden planks gave way
37:37and cracked open,
37:38revealing a hidden tunnel
37:39stretching down into nothing.
37:42Marcus took my hand
37:43and pulled me in.
37:44It was cramped
37:45and dark at first,
37:47but pretty soon,
37:48it got brighter,
37:49and row after row
37:50of medical beds showed up,
37:51each with a body on it.
37:55I stepped up
37:56for a closer look.
37:59I mumbled,
38:01rubber products.
38:04Sex dolls,
38:06in other words.
38:07They pumped real pheromones
38:09into fake glands,
38:10so they looked exactly
38:11like living,
38:12breathing people.
38:15Rich people really have
38:16no limits
38:17when it comes to this stuff.
38:18I thought.
38:20I was about to tease Marcus,
38:22asking if he wanted to pick
38:23one out to practice on,
38:25when he started checking
38:26the numbers one by one.
38:27He went through the whole lot,
38:29then scowled
38:30and cursed under his breath.
38:32Shit,
38:33I knew it.
38:34Not here.
38:38What's not here?
38:40I asked.
38:41He shot me
38:41an irritated glance.
38:43Your pheromone batch.
38:46I froze for a split second,
38:48then stared back blankly.
38:50I laughed it off.
38:51Looks like I'm quite
38:52the valuable commodity.
38:53No wonder they said
38:54one vial
38:55and kept coming back
38:56for ten.
38:57I was really
38:58their cash cow.
38:59I flipped through
39:00the ledger,
39:01doing the math
39:02on how much
39:02Cedric had made off me.
39:04One vial of pheromones
39:06made two sex dolls,
39:07and each sold
39:08for $30,000.
39:09That put him
39:10$550,000
39:11in my debt.
39:13I nudged Marcus,
39:15looking like
39:15a total cheapskate.
39:18Don't forget
39:19to wire the rest
39:19to my account later.
39:21But when I looked up,
39:23his face had gone
39:24even stormier.
39:27You know what
39:28those things are for,
39:29right?
39:29He snarled
39:30through his teeth.
39:32Yeah,
39:33obviously.
39:34I nodded.
39:35He threw his head back,
39:36took a deep breath,
39:37and laughed
39:38out of sheer frustration.
39:42Then get moving.
39:43You seriously
39:44want your sex doll
39:46ending up
39:46in some other guy's bed?
39:47I shrugged,
39:49not giving a damn.
39:51So what?
39:53Out of sight,
39:54out of mind.
39:55And honestly,
39:56I'm the last person
39:57who should feel
39:58embarrassed here.
39:59Marcus was left
40:00speechless.
40:01He seemed to think
40:02I had a point,
40:03but his face
40:04stayed stormy.
40:06I didn't know
40:06what got into me,
40:07but I snapped back
40:09uncharacteristically.
40:10And it meant
40:11it's my face on them.
40:13What's got you
40:14so worked up?
40:15I turned back
40:16to the pile of dolls,
40:17poking around
40:18like some kind of
40:19expert critiquing them.
40:21Pretty decent
40:22quality, though.
40:25Hey,
40:26maybe I'll open
40:26my own sex toy shop
40:28after the baby comes.
40:31I'm curious
40:31how they even
40:32make these.
40:35You should go
40:35squeeze Cedric
40:36for the details.
40:38But no real faces,
40:40or we're asking
40:41for lawsuits.
40:42I rattled on and on,
40:44but the guy next to me
40:45had gone dead silent.
40:46I glanced back,
40:48confused.
40:49Marcus was staring
40:50at me,
40:51his face blank.
40:52He sized me up
40:53from head to toe,
40:54his eyes dark
40:55and piercing.
40:57A good while
40:57passed before
40:58he snapped out of it,
40:59nodding like
41:00he had finally
41:01wised up.
41:03You're right.
41:04No point getting
41:05worked up.
41:05His voice was
41:06totally flat.
41:07No fight left
41:08in it at all.
41:10Something weird
41:11and twisty
41:11flared in my gut.
41:13I shook it off hard.
41:14I had no time
41:15for whatever that was.
41:16I had to deal
41:17with this whole mess
41:18and do my baby
41:19making duty.
41:21The doctor said
41:22my reproductive cavity
41:24was running low
41:24on juice.
41:25I stepped up.
41:26I was going
41:27to lose my mind
41:27too.
41:28Luckily,
41:29all that effort
41:30paid off.
41:33I finally got
41:34pregnant with
41:35our second baby.
41:36He grew fast
41:37and my belly
41:38was starting to show
41:39in no time.
41:42Alfred kept
41:43circling around me
41:44every day,
41:44wanting to say
41:45something but
41:46holding back.
41:48I had my legs
41:49crossed,
41:50munching on an
41:51apple like I
41:51didn't have a care
41:52in the world.
41:57Hey,
41:57what's up?
41:58Got something to say?
41:59Just say it
41:59or go practice
42:00your archery.
42:02He walked up to me
42:03looking downcast.
42:07Are you going
42:08to be like
42:08those parents
42:09only caring
42:09about the baby
42:10brother and
42:11treating me
42:11like nothing?
42:12I found it
42:13kind of funny.
42:15No one would
42:16ever dare
42:16treat you like that.
42:21Marcus didn't
42:22seem like the
42:22type to play
42:23favorites.
42:25Me,
42:26once I popped
42:27this baby out,
42:28I'd leave.
42:33Marcus named
42:34our second baby
42:35Felix,
42:36saying he hoped
42:36the family would
42:37always be lively
42:38and bustling.
42:39He turned to
42:40ask what I
42:41thought,
42:41but I was
42:42fully focused
42:42on playing
42:43chess with
42:43Alfred.
42:45I waved
42:46my hand,
42:46and indicated
42:47that he could
42:48decide for
42:48himself.
42:49Even after
42:50I had been
42:50this obedient,
42:51Marcus was
42:52still dissatisfied
42:53and left
42:53with a cold
42:54face.
42:56So ungrateful.
42:57I clicked
42:58my tongue
42:59lightly.
43:01When he
43:02came back
43:02later,
43:03I would
43:03definitely
43:04curse him
43:04behind his
43:05back.
43:08Before I
43:09even had
43:09time to
43:10have a
43:10minor outburst,
43:11something
43:12happened to
43:12Marcus.
43:16He got
43:17into a fight
43:18with someone
43:18with someone
43:18at a banquet.
43:21When I
43:22went to
43:22pick him
43:22up,
43:24Marcus's
43:25pheromones
43:25were wildly
43:26leaking out
43:27of control.
43:30I was
43:30nearly
43:31overwhelmed
43:31by the
43:32sheer force
43:32of them.
43:33I covered
43:34my mouth
43:35and nose,
43:36took two
43:36steps forward
43:37into his
43:37line of
43:38sight.
43:38Marcus
43:39suddenly
43:39raised his
43:40eyes,
43:41reacting with
43:41the speed
43:42of a wild
43:42beast.
43:44Fortunately,
43:45he still
43:45recognized me.
43:47Those dark,
43:48heavy eyes
43:49quietly relaxed
43:50the moment
43:50they saw me
43:51clearly,
43:52shedding their
43:52guard.
43:53I also
43:54relaxed my
43:55tense back
43:56and walked
43:56over with
43:56the suppressant.
44:01Marcus
44:01sat on the
44:02sofa with
44:02his hands
44:03clasped and
44:03resting on
44:04his knees,
44:05his deep
44:05eyes unblinking
44:06as they fixed
44:07on my
44:07movements.
44:09His gaze
44:10was obscure,
44:11like a
44:11bottomless.
44:12dried up
44:13well that
44:13could not
44:13be seen
44:14through.
44:15I asked
44:16him while
44:16unpacking
44:17the suppressant,
44:18Why are
44:19you staring
44:19at me
44:20like that?
44:21Marcus
44:22said nothing
44:22and did
44:23not move
44:23his gaze
44:24away from
44:24me.
44:25Suddenly,
44:25he covered
44:26his face
44:27and laughed
44:27for no
44:27apparent
44:28reason.
44:29What was
44:29he thinking
44:30about?
44:30It was
44:31downright
44:31unsettling.
44:34Forget it
44:35if I was
44:36helping someone,
44:37I might as
44:37well see
44:38it through.
44:40I grabbed
44:41Marcus's
44:42arm,
44:42accurately
44:43inserted the
44:44needle into
44:44the vein.
44:46Just as I
44:47tossed the
44:48waste into
44:48the trash,
44:49prepared to
44:50leave,
44:50Marcus
44:51finally spoke.
44:53I can't.
44:55Marcus
44:56wrapped an
44:56arm around
44:57my waist.
44:58I can't
44:59calm down
45:00and I'm
45:00furious.
45:01When that
45:01Omega
45:02talked about
45:02your
45:02pheromone
45:03products today,
45:03I wanted
45:04nothing more
45:04than to
45:04tear him
45:05to pieces.
45:07I was
45:08startled by
45:08the ferocity
45:09in his
45:09eyes.
45:10My body
45:11instinctively
45:11retreated
45:12after sensing
45:12danger and
45:13I subconsciously
45:14assumed a
45:15stance ready
45:15to attack.
45:17Marcus
45:18closed his
45:18eyes briefly
45:19and forced
45:19that killing
45:20intent down.
45:21Don't be
45:22afraid.
45:22I won't
45:23hurt you.
45:26I was
45:26just a bit
45:26out of
45:27control.
45:27I'll be
45:28fine in
45:28a while.
45:29I nodded,
45:31unsure of
45:31what to
45:32say.
45:33I could
45:34only let
45:34Marcus press
45:35me down to
45:36sit on his
45:36lap.
45:37He lowered
45:38his head to
45:39greedily inhale
45:39the scent of
45:40my glands.
45:43He raised
45:44a hand to
45:44touch my
45:45round belly
45:46and discussed
45:46it with me.
45:48After the
45:48child is
45:49born,
45:49stay.
45:51Shall we
45:52live together?
45:55I looked
45:56down at
45:56his hand.
45:57Those fingers
45:58that had
45:58broken bones
45:59pulled triggers,
46:00now resting
46:01so gently on
46:02the swell of
46:03my pregnancy.
46:04I covered
46:05his hand
46:05with mine.
46:08Okay.
46:09I was
46:09lying.
46:10After the
46:11second baby's
46:12full moon
46:12ceremony,
46:13I was ready
46:14to run.
46:17The moment
46:18I stepped
46:18out the
46:19front door,
46:20more than
46:20a dozen
46:21bodyguards
46:21followed behind
46:22me.
46:24I was
46:25furious and
46:26called
46:26Marcus.
46:27You
46:28bastard.
46:29What do
46:29you mean
46:29by this?
46:30You're
46:30spying on
46:31me.
46:31On the
46:32other end
46:32of the
46:32line came
46:33Marcus's
46:33extremely
46:34delighted
46:34laughter.
46:37Jeffrey,
46:38from the
46:38moment you
46:39agreed to
46:39stay with
46:40me,
46:40there was
46:41no way
46:41out.
46:42Come
46:43back
46:43now.
46:46Tonight,
46:47we'll try
46:47something new.
46:49Fuck,
46:49now it was
46:50done.
46:51I had
46:51fallen into
46:52Marcus's
46:52hand.
46:55For the
46:55rest of
46:56my life,
46:57I could
46:57only let
46:58him do
46:58whatever he
46:58wanted.
47:00I could
