00:00Parce que ce parfait de compatibilité spore, le Wairbeest commander n'a pas le choix mais de me marier.
00:05Mais après le mariage, il ne pouvait pas avoir plus d'espoir de moi.
00:08Je suis désespérée, donc j'ai essayé de lui mettre en bed chaque jour.
00:12J'étais mort sur ça.
00:14Si nous avions assez de SX, il va falloir pour moi.
00:17Je savais juste que c'était.
00:19Aujourd'hui, j'étais en train de seduce lui encore quand mon téléphone lit up avec un alerte d'un
00:22alerte du Wairbeest administration.
00:24Nous avons trouvé une erreur dans votre compatibilité spore avec General Tarrington.
00:27Il n'est pas votre perfect match.
00:29Je suis désespérée, totalement shocké.
00:33Je suis désespérée.
00:34Il n'était pas toujours si calme pour moi.
00:36Il n'était pas le cas pour moi.
00:36L'alerté de me, Benjamin n'avait pas de soucis sur le alerte.
00:39Il rougit ses d'ici sur mon cœur.
00:41Je suis désespérée de moi ou non, j'ai des trucs à prendre soin.
00:44Je suis désespérée pour mes clothes, yankant les on à je retourne.
00:49Non, je retourne à l'hôp.
00:51Il était plus profond.
00:52Il s'estime plus profond.
00:52Vous êtes sûr de ça ?
00:54Oui, je suis sûr.
00:56Je suis désespérée.
01:06Je suis désespérée.
01:13Je suis désespérée.
01:24Je suis désespérée.
01:25Je suis désespérée de la date correcte, vous avez encore 80% compatibilité.
01:29En théorie, votre mariage ne devrait pas être effectué.
01:32Vous avez dit en théorie.
01:33Qu'est-ce que dans la vie de la vie ?
01:35Le rep hésitait.
01:37En la vie de la vie, votre réellement parfait match est quelqu'un d'autre.
01:42Qui ?
01:43Nous ne savons pas encore.
01:44Nous avons perdu des données lors du système d'updéme et nous faisons tout ce que nous pouvons pour qu
01:48'elle retourne.
01:52Je suis roulée à la main sur ma peau, poussé de l'air et de l'autre à travers la
01:55grande salle.
02:00Tu as dit Benjamin encore?
02:02Non, ma'am.
02:04Il a bloqué toutes nos données.
02:09Right.
02:10J'ai totalement oublié ce que ça.
02:13Quand Benjamin first found out que l'administration avait le match à un homme,
02:18il était tellement éclaté, il a bloqué tout ça.
02:22Ne le dis pas encore.
02:23Laisse me figure quelque chose d'abord.
02:25Nous vraiment apprécions votre co-opération.
02:27Le rep a l'administration.
02:29Le rep a l'administration.
02:33Le rep a l'administration.
02:36Le rep a l'administration.
02:39Le rep a l'administration.
02:40Le rep a l'administration.
02:45Le rep a l'administration.
03:08Le rep a l'administration.
03:11Le rep a l'administration.
03:13Le rep a l'administration.
03:18Le rep a l'administration.
03:22No one his rank had ever married a human before.
03:24He only did it because of that perfect compatibility score.
03:27After the wedding, he buried himself in work and barely ever came home.
03:31I'd wait in the living room until midnight.
03:33The study light stayed on.
03:34His footsteps would walk past the bedroom door and keep going.
03:37I made it my daily mission to hit on him whenever he was around.
03:40I'd sit on his desk while he worked.
03:42I'd leave the bedroom door open.
03:43I'd wear things that should have worked on any man.
03:46Nothing worked.
03:46He hated every single second of it.
03:48His jaw would tighten when I walked in.
03:50His eyes stayed fixed on the paperwork.
03:52Eventually, I resorted to blackmail.
03:55One more step and I'll tell everyone you're impotent.
03:58He stopped.
03:59Jaw tight.
04:01Fists clenched.
04:03Then he walked into the bedroom.
04:05After that, he let me do whatever I wanted.
04:07But he never once looked me in the eye.
04:09His hands stayed fisted at his sides, like holding himself back.
04:13It didn't matter.
04:14I wasn't after his heart.
04:16Then the administration called.
04:17For a werebeast who couldn't care less about romance, a compatibility score meant jacksot.
04:22Only a perfect score could make him feel any real affection.
04:24I thought about it for one night.
04:26The next morning, I stopped texting him.
04:28Stopped asking when he'd be home.
04:30A week passed.
04:31Then my phone buzzed.
04:32I had the private doctor swing by to check on you.
04:35I'm not sick.
04:36The butler said you've been zoning out a ton lately.
04:38You stopped buying clothes and bags.
04:40You sure you're feeling okay?
04:41I'm totally fine.
04:43All right.
04:44I put the phone down and went back to my book.
04:46His typing bubble appeared, flashed, disappeared, appeared again.
04:52I'm coming home tomorrow.
04:55I typed up a long reply real quick.
04:58Tomorrow?
04:59You don't gotta rush back.
05:01Seriously.
05:02Everything's good here.
05:04Stay focused on work.
05:06This country needs you right now.
05:07Don't worry about home.
05:10Benjamin didn't hit me back after that.
05:12He was probably touched by how understanding I was being.
05:14I hoped that when he finally found out the truth, he'd remember how nice I'd been.
05:19Half an hour later, Benjamin walked right through the front door.
05:21He looked beat.
05:22Like he'd dropped everything at work and bolted straight home.
05:26He didn't even take off his uniform before pressing the back of his hand to my forehead.
05:30Your temp, breathing, and scent are all normal.
05:34You're not sick.
05:35I already told you.
05:36I'm completely fine.
05:38Then why'd you stop shopping?
05:40Your favorite brand drops new stuff every Monday, and you usually load up.
05:45Uh, I just wanted to save you some cash.
05:49You don't gotta do that.
05:51Benjamin stared right at me.
05:53I'll make back whatever you spend.
05:55I didn't marry you so you could pinch pennies.
05:58I couldn't bring myself to tell him the truth.
06:01We were gonna get a divorce soon.
06:03I stayed quiet.
06:05And then Benjamin suddenly picked me up in his arms.
06:09And carried me to the bedroom.
06:13He murmured near my ears, his breath hot against my neck.
06:16You've been dying to sleep with me in my uniform.
06:18We can do it today.
06:19Just this once.
06:20I felt his hands slide down my waist, fingers hooking under the hem of my shirt.
06:25The rough fabric of his uniform brushed my bare skin.
06:28His lips trailed down to my colophon.
06:31His canine teeth scratched lightly, not quite breaking skin just enough to make me shiver.
06:36He pulled me closer, pressing me against the cold metal buttons of his chest.
06:40His hips pinned me against the bed frame.
06:42No, it's fine!
06:44I scrambled out of his grip.
06:46I pressed my back against the wall, putting distance between us.
06:49His eyes had started to narrow into those vertical slits,
06:52the ones that meant his instincts were waking up.
06:54You must be beat from work.
06:56I'd be a total jerk to wear you out the second you walk in the door.
06:59You need to rest.
07:01You hungry?
07:02I can cook for you today.
07:05I hightailed it out of there, booking it to the safety of the kitchen.
07:07Right before I shut the door, I glanced back and saw Benjamin still standing there.
07:11His arms were frozen in the exact same spot as when he was holding me,
07:15and he looked totally confused.
07:18A few minutes later, he wandered into the kitchen.
07:21Something came up last minute.
07:22I gotta head back and handle it.
07:25Okay, go on then.
07:26I'll be right back as soon as I'm done.
07:28No rush, just focus on your work.
07:31You barely ever cook for us.
07:33I really want to eat this meal.
07:35I looked at him, and a thought popped into my head.
07:39I can just bring the food to you when it's ready.
07:41It's way too tiring for you to keep running back and forth.
07:44That works.
07:44His quick yes totally caught me off guard.
07:47Maybe it's because I'm human,
07:48but he never liked it when I went to military headquarters before.
07:51I'd only offered to bring the food as an excuse to avoid him.
07:54I never thought he'd actually say yes.
07:56He was acting super weird today.
07:59As soon as he left the house,
08:00I called our private chef to come take over the cooking.
08:02Once the food was ready,
08:03I took my sweet time walking over to headquarters.
08:06The building was huge and scary,
08:08just like Benjamin, the werewolf himself.
08:10The whole place felt totally overwhelming.
08:12I stood at the closest intersection and called him.
08:14I'm waiting at the usual spot.
08:16Have your lieutenant come pick up the food.
08:18Just come inside.
08:20His deep voice rumbered over the phone.
08:23I'll tell the guards to let you through.
08:25I don't think that's a good idea.
08:27This is a top secret military facility.
08:29Civilians aren't allowed in here.
08:31Doesn't matter.
08:32Nobody's going to stop you.
08:34But I've always waited at the intersection before.
08:38Benjamin paused on the other end of the line.
08:41Just come inside.
08:41Maybe I was imagining it.
08:45But his voice sounded a little softer than usual.
08:48I really didn't want to go in though.
08:50We were getting a divorce anyway.
08:52So there was no point in making myself known now.
08:56But Benjamin wasn't the type of guy who takes no for an answer.
08:59I forced myself to keep walking.
09:01I got a ton of weird looks on the way in.
09:05Because werebeasts have a huge physical advantage.
09:08They run the entire military.
09:09Seeing a regular human wandering around the base was pretty damn rare.
09:13One werebeast actually stopped me.
09:15Hey, how'd you get in here?
09:17Did the guards just quit their jobs?
09:19Someone nearby quickly pulled him aside and set him straight.
09:22When the guy realized I was Benjamin's wife, he checked me out from head to toe.
09:26Her?
09:27The hate in his voice was thick.
09:29You could practically taste it.
09:31To him, Benjamin marrying me was a total embarrassment.
09:34I finally made it to the Supreme Commander's office,
09:37only to hear a loud ruckus coming from inside.
09:39Benjamin, we agreed we were getting food today.
09:42How the hell did you forget again?
09:44It was at Sierra Martin.
09:46She was a total knockout of a werebeast.
09:48Her shifted form was a nightingale.
09:49She was also his old mentor's daughter.
09:51I didn't find out until after we got married that if his 100% perfect match never showed up,
09:56Benjamin would have probably ended up with her.
09:58Socially speaking, they were a perfect fit.
10:00Sierra stepped closer.
10:00Her hand landing on Benjamin's chest.
10:03She leaned in, her fingers gripping the fabric of his uniform, her voice dropping low.
10:07You forgot my birthday dinner.
10:09You owe me, Benjamin.
10:10Big time.
10:11Benjamin caught her wrist.
10:12He was about to push her away when his nose twitched.
10:15His head snapped up.
10:16His eyes locked onto mine across the room.
10:18I was standing in the doorway, holding the lunchbox.
10:22You made it!
10:23He took a long stride toward me.
10:24I need to clear this up.
10:26It's not what it looks like.
10:29Sorry, I shouldn't have been erupted.
10:30He didn't owe me any explanation.
10:32If anyone was butting in here, it was me.
10:34Did I hear you guys had lunch plans?
10:36Perfect timing.
10:36The chef, uh, I mean, I made way too much food anyway.
10:39You two should split it so it doesn't go to waste.
10:41I'll let you get back to it.
10:42Take all the time you need to catch up.
10:44Oh, and Benjamin, if you're swamped tonight, don't sweat coming home.
10:48I won't leave a light on for you.
10:49Benjamin's brow furrowed into a slow, tight prown.
10:53Avoiding his gaze entirely, I turned and height-tailed it out of there.
10:56Once I was outside, I shot a text to the Werebeast administration.
11:00Who's Benjamin's actual 100% match?
11:02We still don't know.
11:03The files are being fixed, but we can confirm he definitely has one.
11:07Came the reply.
11:08Well, I had a pretty good hunch who it was.
11:11Hurry up and fix him.
11:13You guys are painfully slow.
11:14Work around the clock if you have to.
11:16I need this done yesterday.
11:17Around the clock?
11:18Look, never mind.
11:19As a mere human, I have no right to demand anything of you.
11:22I was just shoving my phone back into my pocket when it buzzed again.
11:25By the way, Miss Penrith, if everything goes as planned,
11:28your part of the files will be restored real soon.
11:30Once they are, I'll shoot you the info on your own 100% match right away.
11:35KK.
11:37What's that supposed to mean?
11:38Don't ask.
11:40That evening, I was perfectly happy being by myself.
11:43But, surprise, surprise, Benjamin actually came home.
11:47I wasn't kidding about not leaving a light on.
11:49The living room was pitch black.
11:51He didn't even bother hitting the switch.
11:52His tall figure just loomed in the dark, right in front of me.
11:56I rubbed my eyes and awed.
11:58What are you doing home?
12:00This is my house.
12:01You're going to tell me I can't come home?
12:03Oh, that's not what I meant.
12:08Tabatha.
12:09Yeah?
12:10There's absolutely nothing going on between Sierra and me.
12:14We never got together, not even in the past.
12:17I know people say we were supposed to get married, but that's total BS.
12:21I only see her as a fellow soldier.
12:23We planned to eat today because it's her birthday.
12:25She invited me to a dinner party a while back,
12:27and I said yes because I figured there'd be tons of other people there.
12:29But I totally forgot about it today.
12:31That's why she came looking for me.
12:33Benjamin was talking a mile a minute, spilting everything at once.
12:36A total 180 from his usual quiet self.
12:38Waved a hand dismissively in the dark.
12:40It really doesn't matter.
12:41You forgot her invite.
12:43Did you at least apologize properly?
12:46I don't know much about female werebeasts,
12:48but girls are pretty much all the same.
12:51Just comfort her a little, and she'll be good.
12:53Are you like that too?
12:54He asked out of the blue.
12:56In the dark, Benjaminian's eyes glowed a faint green.
12:59A dead giveaway his werewolf instincts were locked right onto me.
13:02Me?
13:03You don't need to coddle me.
13:05I'm totally fine.
13:06And I meant that for real.
13:09Without warning, Benjamin bent down and crashed his lips against mine.
13:13He was being weirdly forward, almost aggressive.
13:15He hadn't even taken off that dark uniform I loved so much,
13:18and its cold metal buttons scraped my skin,
13:21sending a shiver down my spine.
13:22In the quiet of the room, the sharp click of his belt buckle unfassing echoed.
13:26I forced myself to stay calm and stopped him before things got out of hand.
13:30Wait, put one on first.
13:32Put what on?
13:35A condom.
13:38Benjamin froze.
13:39When'd you get these?
13:42Today.
13:43I didn't dare tell him the truth.
13:45When he could come home at noon and suddenly wanted to sleep with me,
13:48I'd worried he might actually go through with it.
13:50So I'd rushed out that afternoon and bought a box.
13:53Why'd you buy these?
13:54I thought you always wanted a baby.
13:57Well, I realized I'm still young.
13:59Let's hold off on kids for a bit.
14:01I used to think I could lock down my spot by having his kid.
14:04I was willing to do whatever it took to find clues on how to get back home.
14:07But clearly, that plan was out the window now.
14:10My main goal was to keep my distance from Benjamin.
14:13So when he finally found out the truth,
14:16I wouldn't be the one taking the brunt of his anger.
14:20I pulled out a condom and reached over to put it on him,
14:23but Benjamin didn't move an inch.
14:26You've been acting really weird lately.
14:29He said.
14:30Nah, I haven't.
14:32You have.
14:32Benjamin's voice was firm.
14:34You used to be so into this.
14:36But today, no matter how much I kiss you,
14:39you're giving me nothing back.
14:41You used to call me Honey or Sweetie all the time.
14:44You'd even interrupt my work just to say you wanted to check out my chest.
14:48Now?
14:49You only call me by my first name.
14:53What the hell is going on with you?
14:55Since he was already asking,
14:56I figured it was better to just rip the band-aid off instead of dragging it out.
15:00I mustered up all my courage and said,
15:02Benjamin, I want a divorce.
15:06Benjamin stared at me, stunned.
15:08He sat completely still for a long time before finally asking.
15:10Why?
15:11Maybe we just aren't a good match.
15:13Our backgrounds, our social status, our identities, none of it aligns.
15:17The compatibility scores say we are.
15:20But compatibility scores aren't the whole story.
15:24They're just numbers.
15:25And we're real people.
15:27We can't just settle for a miserable marriage over a statistic.
15:31Settle?
15:32I nodded cautiously.
15:34Given everything Benjamin had put up with in this marriage,
15:37wasn't he just settling too?
15:38So that's what you think?
15:39The glow in his eyes died instantly.
15:41The wolf ears that had perked up earlier from his arousal now drooped flat against his head.
15:45I need a minute.
15:46Benjamin stood and pulled his clothes back on.
15:48He walked out of the bedroom and stepped onto the balcony.
15:51Outside, the moonlight was bright enough to wash out most of the stars.
15:55He'd forgotten to hide his tail, and it hung limply behind him.
15:58I had a puppy when I was a kid.
16:00When it was happy, its tail would stand straight up and wag.
16:04When it was upset, it would droop exactly like that.
16:07Benjamin was upset.
16:08Maybe I'd sprung the divorce on him too fast, and he just wasn't ready for it.
16:12As the supreme commander of the military, maintaining a flawless marriage on paper was crucial for his public image.
16:17A sudden divorce from a highly compatible wife meant he'd be facing immediate backlash from all sides.
16:23When Benjamin finally calmed down, he came back inside.
16:28Are you absolutely sure you want a divorce?
16:31Yes, but there's no rush.
16:32I can work around whatever schedule works best for you.
16:35We will need to wait.
16:36He slipped right back into his usual rational, serious self.
16:40My father's birthday is in a few days.
16:42I need you to come to the family dinner with me so he doesn't worry.
16:46We can hash out the divorce details after.
16:49That's not a problem.
16:50I can definitely do that.
16:52He didn't look angry at all.
16:53That was great.
16:55A massive wave of relief washed over me.
16:57Just as I was congratulating myself for handling the situation so smoothly, Benjamin spoke up, his voice barely above a
17:03whisper.
17:05So was everything you told me before just a lie?
17:08What?
17:09I hadn't quite caught it.
17:11Never mind.
17:12Go to sleep.
17:13Good night.
17:13Benjamin turned away and walked out of the bedroom.
17:17Shortly after, the Werebeast administration sent over the profile for my new match.
17:22Like me, he was human.
17:24His name was Emmanuel Lawton.
17:26He was a brilliant young scientist, built almost as big and tall as Benjamin.
17:30In a world run by Werebeasts, his sheer intelligence had bought him serious wealth and social standing.
17:36There was a phone number at the bottom of his file.
17:39That meant he already knew who I was.
17:41A match only handed out their contact effos if they actually wanted to connect.
17:45I didn't reach out to Emmanuel, though.
17:47I was still Benjamin's wife and I didn't want to stir up any unnecessary complications.
17:53Besides, I'd be leaving this world eventually anyway.
17:56There was no point in starting another doomed relationship.
17:59That weekend, Benjamin picked me up for the family banquet, just like he promised.
18:04I need a favor today.
18:05We need to pretend we're happily married.
18:06He said on the drive over.
18:08Don't worry.
18:09I told him.
18:11I'll act like I'm completely devoted to you.
18:13One more thing.
18:15He added.
18:16My older brother is coming home today.
18:19You have a brother?
18:21You never mentioned him.
18:23Half-brother.
18:23He's my mom's kid from her first marriage before she met my dad.
18:28He's human.
18:30I stared at him.
18:34Human?
18:36Yeah.
18:37My mom is human.
18:39Strictly speaking, I'm a half-Warebeast.
18:40The Werebeast world was obsessed with bloodlines.
18:43To them, being a half-Warebeast was even worse than being human.
18:47I'd heard rumors about Benjamin's heritage before, but his blunt admission still threw me.
18:51I couldn't imagine the kind of pressure and pain a half-Warebeast had to push through to reach his level
18:55of power.
18:56Yet he seemed totally unfazed by it.
18:59We pulled up to the Tarrington's mansion.
19:01Benjamin's father used to be a massive deal in the Werebeast world, and his birthday banquet was crawling with the
19:06elite.
19:06I looped my arm through Benjamin's, ignoring the stares from the other guests.
19:12A guy who looked like an old friend walked up to us.
19:15Benjamin, is this your 100% match?
19:18What does a perfect match actually feel like?
19:20Come on, tell us.
19:22Yeah.
19:22A few other friends chummed in, crowding around.
19:25A 100% match is insanely rare.
19:28My wife and I are at 70%, and that's already considered huge.
19:31No kidding.
19:32When I scored a 68% match, my mom was over the moon.
19:35Benjamin smiled.
19:36Then I'd better keep it to myself.
19:38Wouldn't want you guys getting jealous.
19:40Oh, come on.
19:41We're not like that.
19:43Still, I seriously envy you two.
19:47I've heard perfect matches get these distinct physical reactions when they first meet.
19:53Right.
19:54They say you feel this sudden jolt in your chest, and your vision sharpens.
19:58Like you instantly recognize each other without even needing to see the test results.
20:03Was that true?
20:05That was the first time I was hearing about it.
20:07Looking back at when I first met Benjamin, neither of us went through those physical changes.
20:12If Benjamin hadn't felt them either, did that mean he already knew our data was wrong?
20:17I shot a quick glance up at him, only to find his expression completely calm.
20:21He didn't look the least bit surprised.
20:25Actually, there's more to it than that.
20:28He said steadily.
20:30There's also an intense urge to possess the other person.
20:34Or to be possessed by them.
20:36The conversation slammed to a halt.
20:39Benjamin looked down, locking eyes with me.
20:42His friends started teasing him, shocked that he could say something so intense.
20:46They had no idea I was breaking out in a cold sweat from pure panic.
20:50Why was he looking at me like that?
20:52Had he realized the data was fake?
20:54What was going through his head right now?
20:55Was he planning to violently destroy the incompetent werebeast administration?
20:59I just hoped that if he did, he'd spare me.
21:03Before my anxiety could spiral any further, the banquet officially began.
21:11Benjamin's father, Matthias Tarrington, took the stage.
21:14I gathered everyone here today for a very important reason.
21:19Matthias said, his tone dead serious.
21:21My late wife died far too young.
21:25She had a son before we married, and when she passed, the boy was left orphaned.
21:30I brought him into our home to raise alongside Benjamin.
21:35Over the years, we've grown as close as father and son.
21:40Today, I'm officially welcoming him as a full member of the Taraston family.
21:45The room went completely silent.
21:48Matthias' bold choices in his youth were still legendary in the werebeast community.
21:52Born into a wealthy, powerful alpha wolf bloodline,
21:56he had chosen to marry a human widow who already had a kid.
21:59Ignoring everyone's pushback, Matthias had brought her into his home.
22:03Now, he was formally adopting the child she'd had with her previous husband.
22:08People genuinely wondered if he'd lost his mind.
22:11The question was written on every face in the crowd.
22:15Only Benjamin looked unfazed, like he'd known about the decision all along.
22:21Does this bother you?
22:22I leaned in and whispered,
22:23Why would it?
22:25He's human, and he's about to be your older brother.
22:28My mom was human, and so are you.
22:31His blunt, honest answer caught me off guard.
22:35Just like he had years ago,
22:37Matthias completely ignored the crowd's silent judgment.
22:40Come on up, Emmanuel.
22:42He called out.
22:43Introduce yourself to everyone.
22:45Hearing that name hit me so hard, my mind just went blank for a second.
22:49The whole energy of the room suddenly shifted.
22:54I slowly looked up and saw him.
22:57At Emmanuel Lawton.
23:00My actual, 100% biological match.
23:05Emmanuel looked right at me from across the crowded room.
23:08When our eyes met, a sharp, sudden tension gripped my chest.
23:13I felt an overwhelming biological urge to mate with him right then and there.
23:17But the feeling only lasted a second.
23:20Because I was human.
23:22I wasn't some werebeast driven entirely by reproductive instinct.
23:26The upside of being human was having the self-control to override those intense physical urges.
23:31Emmanuel noticed my arm linked through Benjamin's, but his expression didn't so much as flicker.
23:36Just like me, he knew exactly how to mask his reactions.
23:39Matthias led Emmanuel around the room, introducing him to the guests,
23:42and before long, they made their way over to us.
23:44Emmanuel greeted Benjamin first.
23:47It's been three years.
23:48You look taller.
23:50Are you 190 centimeters now?
23:53Almost.
23:55189 centimeters.
23:57Benjamin replied.
23:58You spent the last three years totally buried in your academic research.
24:03Without coming home once.
24:07I'm here now, aren't I?
24:09Emmanuel shifted his gaze right to me.
24:13And who is this?
24:16This is Tabitha, my wife.
24:19Benjamin said.
24:20I invited you to the wedding, but you were too busy to make it.
24:25That's on me.
24:28I'll have a few extra drinks tonight to make up for it.
24:32All right.
24:33Since you offered, I'll make sure we drink plenty.
24:36Benjamin agreed.
24:39Tabitha won't mind, will she?
24:41Emmanuel watched me closely, the underlying implication heavy in his voice.
24:45I waved a hand, quickly brushing it off.
24:48Go ahead.
24:49You don't need to worry about me.
24:52As the night wore on and the drinks kept flowing,
24:55the alcohol seemed to amplify his natural scent,
24:58making me intensely, physically aware of him.
25:00I excused myself to the restroom so I could slip outside for some fresh air.
25:03Breathing in the cool night breathe finally helped clear my head.
25:06I sat quietly for a minute until I heard a voice behind me.
25:09Tabitha.
25:10Can I call you that?
25:11It was Emmanuel.
25:12He kept a polite distance, standing about three meters away.
25:15I always wondered why my perfect match never reached out.
25:18Seeing you today, I finally get it.
25:20I offered an awkward smile.
25:22The Werebeast administration messed up my data.
25:24I honestly thought Benjamin was my hundred percent match.
25:27I get it.
25:28It wouldn't be the first time they've screwed up.
25:30Benjamin still doesn't know.
25:32Please don't tell him yet.
25:35He doesn't know?
25:36Emmanuel raised his eyebrows in surprise.
25:39I had to admit, if I were still in my original world, Emmanuel would be my exact type.
25:44Tall, lean, and handsome, with a sharp mind.
25:46He checked every single one of my boxes.
25:48The Werebeast administration is still struggling to figure out how to notify him.
25:52They're incredibly inefficient.
25:54You can totally tell they've never worked in a fast-paced corporate environment.
25:58I ran a tech startup back home.
26:00This kind of slack would have sunk us in a month.
26:03Seriously, if I were their boss, I'd put them on permanent crunch mode.
26:07They're so bad, they'd still miss every deadline, even pulling all nights.
26:11Wait a second.
26:12I shot to my feet.
26:13At the exact same moment, Emmanuel realized what we were saying and looked at me, his eyes wide.
26:18You're from another world, too?
26:20We blurted out in Eunice, instantly confirming that we were both trans-huggers.
26:24What is happening?
26:25Is this real?
26:26Am I dreaming?
26:27When did you get here?
26:29Five years ago.
26:31You?
26:32A little before that.
26:34I was born into this world.
26:36Dude, that's not a little before.
26:38That's way before.
26:40Emmanuel's shoulders dropped as he visibly let his guard down.
26:43You should have told me we were from the same place.
26:45How are you holding up here?
26:47I hate this Werebeast world.
26:49I just want to go home.
26:52You'll be able to soon.
26:53Wait, what?
26:55The whole reason I became a scientist was to find a way back home.
26:59I've made a ton of progress.
27:00If nothing goes wrong, we can go back really soon.
27:03Holy crap!
27:05Man, you're incredibly capable!
27:07Seriously, that's amazing!
27:10The science part is easy enough for me.
27:12Emmanuel flashed a popular internet hand gesture from back home,
27:16and a massive wave of familiarity washed over me.
27:19After all, before I ended up here,
27:22I was the youngest person to ever get published in a top-tealer academic journal.
27:26Wait, that was you?
27:30I think I read the articles about you!
27:32I remembered reading about a young, high-achieving prodigy.
27:36Whenever he was in the news,
27:38people mostly just focused on his ridiculously good looks.
27:43I'd even forwarded the article to my best friend,
27:46joking that he was exactly my type.
27:49Now, that same wildly successful guy from the news,
27:54was sitting right in front of me,
27:56hashing out our plan to go home.
27:58The more we talked,
28:00the more hyped we got.
28:05Neither of us even noticed someone walking up behind us.
28:09Tabby,
28:10so this is where you are.
28:12Benjamin stepped out from the shadows of the room.
28:15His earlier gentleness was completely gone,
28:18replaced by a freezing glare locked on Emmanuel.
28:22He stared him down with intense hostility,
28:25sizing him up like a threat.
28:28Emmanuel didn't flinch.
28:29Tabitha and I are both human.
28:31We just got talking and lost track of time.
28:33Dad is still waiting for you out front.
28:36You should go find him.
28:37Benjamin said,
28:38Right.
28:38Emmanuel smiled and walked past me,
28:40his shoulder brushing mine.
28:42By the way, Tabitha,
28:43you're welcome to drop by my lab anytime.
28:45The second he was gone,
28:47Benjamin threw an arm around my shoulder,
28:49his hand clamped down on the exact spot Emmanuel had just brushed,
28:52asserting his physical presence to overwrite the other guy's touch.
28:55What were you two talking about just now?
28:58You seemed pretty happy.
29:01We were just talking about his work.
29:03This was the first time I'd ever felt
29:04terrifying were-beast aura radiating off Benjamin.
29:07Are you going to visit his lab?
29:09We'll see.
29:11I clenched my jaw,
29:13doing my best to play it cool.
29:15This was the first time I'd ever felt
29:16that terrifying were-beast aura radiating off Benjamin.
29:19He was obviously still in his human form,
29:22but his intense stare made me feel
29:24completely exposed and physically threatened.
29:26like he wanted to claim absolute ownership over me.
29:30The possessiveness was suffocating.
29:32I knew it wasn't out of love though.
29:33It was just the territorial instinct of a male beast.
29:37I had to go to Emmanuel's lab.
29:39I wanted to see the machine that could take us back home.
29:42Today, I slipped out of the house the second Benjamin left for work.
29:46Emmanuel showed me his research data,
29:48and it gave me so much hope.
29:50The hours completely flew by in his lab.
29:54It wasn't until later that evening
29:56when I checked my phone
29:57that I realized I had dozens of missed calls
29:59and texts from Benjamin.
30:01Is Benjamin looking for you?
30:03Yeah.
30:04Didn't you say he wasn't really all that affectionate with you?
30:06Who knows what his deal is lately?
30:08I sighed.
30:08Maybe his possessive male instincts are just acting up.
30:11Emmanuel hit the lab lights,
30:12and we headed out together.
30:15Benjamin was waiting for us
30:16right at the bottom of the stairs.
30:17He must have been standing there a while.
30:19His eyes were noticeably red.
30:21The guards told me you were here.
30:24He said,
30:26I didn't believe them, but here you are.
30:29Sorry, I said.
30:31Pray, I haven't been checking my phone.
30:33Benjamin's gaze shifted to Emmanuel.
30:36He looked like he wanted to say something,
30:38but bit his tongue.
30:40Instead, he held his hand up to me.
30:44Are you done?
30:46Can we go home now?
30:49I walked over to him without a word.
30:51My mind still stuck on the experiment I just watched.
30:55Emmanuel chimed in.
30:57Too bad I can't take you home today, Tabitha.
31:00Come back tomorrow,
31:02and I'll show you something else interesting.
31:05Benjamin tensed instantly,
31:07yanking me tight against his chest.
31:09She isn't coming back tomorrow.
31:12I wouldn't be so sure about that.
31:15Meeting Benjamin's death glare,
31:18Emmanuel just smirked.
31:21You know, Benjamin,
31:23you sent me an invitation
31:25to your house a while back.
31:29Why don't I come over today?
31:32Now isn't a good time.
31:35That's a shame.
31:36I really wanted to see where Tabiantha
31:39and you live.
31:41Don't you have your own house?
31:44Benjamin snapped.
31:45Why do you need to see ours?
31:47Actually, I don't.
31:48Did you forget?
31:51My parents are dead.
31:52Emmanuel shot me a wink,
31:54faking a hurt expression.
31:55I didn't expect him to bring up
31:57such a painful subject.
31:58Tabby,
31:59does he always treat you this poorly?
32:03Don't call her Tabby.
32:05The air between them grew incredibly tense.
32:09Benjamin's pupils narrowed into vertical slits,
32:12and his fangs extended.
32:14Relax, I was just joking.
32:17Emmanuel said,
32:19You're so protective of your wife, Benjamin.
32:25What would you do
32:27if someone took her away from you?
32:30That will never happen.
32:33I love Tabby very much.
32:36And she loves me.
32:39Benjamin hesitated.
32:40He couldn't quite bring himself
32:42to say she loved him very much.
32:44Emmanuel smiled.
32:45I envy you guys.
32:47But, you know,
32:48the Werebeast administration
32:49reached out recently.
32:52Turns out,
32:53I've got a perfect match, too.
32:55He stared dead at me
32:56the whole time he spoke.
32:58It was a blatant provocation.
33:00Benjamin shifted his massive frame
33:02to physically block
33:03Emmanuel's line of sight to me.
33:06I have no problem
33:07killing you right here, Emmanuel.
33:11Things were spiraling fast.
33:13Snapping back to reality,
33:15I tugged on Benjamin's sleeve.
33:18Let's go home.
33:20I finally managed to drag him out of there.
33:24Once we were sealed inside the car,
33:26Benjamin broke the silence.
33:29Tabby,
33:30you shouldn't have been meeting him
33:32behind my back.
33:33Why not?
33:34You're my wife.
33:35And you just spent the whole day
33:36alone in a locked room
33:38with another male?
33:39His heavy breathing
33:39filled the quiet pride.
33:41I could practically feel
33:42the heat of his anger.
33:43He was highly distressed,
33:45clearly fighting off
33:46whatever he was picturing
33:47had happened in the lab.
33:48But we're getting a divorce
33:49anyway, aren't we?
33:50I said,
33:51pointing out the obvious.
33:52We agreed to hash it out
33:53after the family dinner.
33:56Is that really what you want?
33:58A divorce?
33:59He demanded.
34:01Because of him?
34:02Not because of him.
34:03I have my own reasons.
34:05At first,
34:06I'd wanted a divorce
34:07because our matching scores
34:08were wrong.
34:09But now,
34:09I just wanted to go back
34:10to my own place.
34:11Since he didn't really care about me,
34:13I figured I'd give him
34:14his freedom back
34:14before I left.
34:15Benjamin didn't say
34:16another word.
34:17I assumed he was already
34:18mentally drafting
34:19how we were going
34:19to announce the split.
34:20But the second we walked
34:22through our front door,
34:23he grabbed me
34:24and hauled me
34:24straight into the bathroom.
34:26What are you doing?
34:27I asked.
34:28You're taking a shower.
34:29You smell like another male
34:31and you need to scrub it off.
34:33We're throwing these clothes
34:34in the trash.
34:35I can wash myself.
34:37No.
34:38I don't trust you
34:39to do it right.
34:43Benjamin stubbornly scrubbed
34:45every part of my body,
34:46completely ignoring
34:48how the shower
34:48was soaking straight
34:49through his own shirt.
34:50His behavior was erratic.
34:52And his pupils
34:53had narrowed right back
34:54into those vertical slits.
34:56It seemed his jealousy
34:58had triggered
34:58his mating cycle prematurely.
35:00When we finally
35:01got out of the shower,
35:02he grabbed me
35:03a change of clothes.
35:04I recognized
35:05the outfit instantly.
35:07It was the exact one
35:08I'd planned to wear
35:09to seduce him.
35:10The day we found out
35:11about the error
35:11in our compatibility test,
35:13Benjamin didn't give me
35:14a chance to argue.
35:15He just dressed me
35:17in it himself.
35:18I hadn't realized
35:19how terrifyingly intense
35:20a wear-beast could be
35:22when their heat hit early.
35:23The outfit barely had
35:25any fabric to begin with,
35:26and after he tore it off
35:28me during sex,
35:29it was nothing but scraps.
35:32Thinking we were
35:33finally done,
35:34I nudged him away.
35:36Go get changed.
35:38You're dripping wet
35:38and it's uncomfortable.
35:42Benjamin left to change,
35:44but came back in his
35:46fully buttoned military uniform,
35:48right down to the leather
35:49thigh straps with his holster.
35:51Completely dressed
35:52and totally expressionless,
35:54he pulled me back into bed,
35:55and kept going
35:56until I was
35:57completely exhausted.
36:00You're hiding
36:00something from me.
36:01He murmured.
36:02He was crying.
36:04Tears dripped onto my skin,
36:05and for the first time,
36:07I realized a wolf's tears
36:08could be searingly hot.
36:10You looked so happy
36:11talking to him.
36:16Are you going to be with him
36:17after we divorce?
36:20And even if it isn't him,
36:22there'll be other guys,
36:23won't there?
36:24Let's just stay married.
36:29Please.
36:31The night only ended
36:33when I finally passed out
36:34from pure exhaustion.
36:36When I woke up
36:37the next morning,
36:38Benjamin was still there.
36:40He seemed a lot calmer
36:42than the night before.
36:43He dropped to one knee,
36:45helping me pull on my socks
36:47while I rubbed
36:48my aching lower back.
36:49The silence between us
36:51was awkward,
36:52especially since I genuinely
36:54enjoyed the sex, too.
36:56I was just about
36:57to say something.
36:59When his phone rang,
37:00it was his adjutant.
37:02General Tarrington,
37:03we have a situation.
37:04Keep it under control.
37:05I'm on my way back.
37:07No, sir.
37:08It's not the military.
37:09It's your
37:12compelitability results.
37:15Benjamin left
37:16for the werebeest administration.
37:18Hours passed.
37:19I waited at home,
37:20my mind racing.
37:21When he finally walked
37:22back through the door,
37:23he was holding to pages.
37:24His grip was white-knuckled
37:26on the paper.
37:27He sat down across from me
37:29and told me everything.
37:30The entire administration building
37:32had been cleared out.
37:34The staff stood in a neat row,
37:36dead silent and terrified.
37:37Twenty minutes before he arrived,
37:40they'd fully restored his data.
37:42Since they couldn't reach him directly,
37:44some new intern had forwarded
37:46the report straight to his adjutant.
37:47The massive screw-up
37:49was now completely exposed.
37:50I was still a 100% match for him,
37:53but he was only an 80% match for me.
37:56At the exact same time,
37:57he saw my file,
37:58which clearly listed my perfect match.
38:00Emmanuel Lawton,
38:01Adriel Gorney,
38:02the elderly bureau director,
38:04sat trembling in his wheelchair.
38:06General Tarrington,
38:07I take full responsibility
38:09for this mistake.
38:11I'll pull my oxygen tube
38:13right now to apologize.
38:15Benjamin just stared at him blankly.
38:18Leave your oxygen alone.
38:20I only have one question.
38:23Ask away, sir.
38:25Where exactly am I losing that 20%?
38:29Everyone expected him to start yelling.
38:31No one saw a question like that coming.
38:34Adriel hesitated,
38:35looking incredibly uncomfortable.
38:37Do I really have to say it?
38:40It involves highly personal details.
38:43Tell me.
38:44According to our comprehensive analysis,
38:50your physical conditioning
38:52is simply too extreme
38:54for Mrs. Penriff.
38:55Benjamin frowned.
38:57What does that mean?
38:58It means that
39:00if you completely let go
39:01during sex,
39:02she physically cannot handle
39:04your size or your stamina.
39:07You've been married for two years.
39:09Haven't you noticed?
39:10Benjamin fell silent.
39:12Last night,
39:14completely consumed by jealousy,
39:16he'd lost his restraint in bed
39:18for the very first time.
39:19The night had ended
39:20with my eyes slipping shut.
39:22He assumed I'd just passed out
39:24from exhaustion,
39:24but the truth was,
39:26I'd completely blacked out.
39:28What else?
39:29He'd asked.
39:31That pretty much covers it.
39:32It falls short
39:33on just this one metric,
39:36which is why the system
39:37put the match at 80%.
39:39Benjamin had talked
39:40Emmanuel's file back onto the desk.
39:41So how does he score
39:42a perfect 100%
39:43aside from that one missing detail?
39:45Adriel stared at the paperwork
39:47for a long time,
39:48furrowing his brow.
39:49I've never seen a result like this.
39:51It looks like he and Mrs. Penriff
39:53share a remarkably similar
39:55genetic sequence.
39:57They come from the exact same
39:58biological group,
40:00which is why they trigger
40:01a complete match.
40:02Are they related?
40:03No, no, you're misreading the data.
40:05They just share
40:06the same geographic origin.
40:08Benjamin told me he'd turn
40:09to look at me then.
40:10My mind had raced,
40:11trying to come up with a lie,
40:13just in case he asked
40:15if Emmanuel and I
40:15shared a homeland.
40:17But he didn't ask.
40:18He just lowered his gaze,
40:21looking like he had already
40:22figured out the truth
40:23I was hiding.
40:26When we got home,
40:27Benjamin sat out on the balcony
40:29in gloomy silence.
40:30Is this why you brought up
40:32getting a divorce?
40:32He asked.
40:33Because you found a human
40:34with a higher compatibility score?
40:36I walked over,
40:37trying to cut the tension
40:38with a casual tone.
40:4080% is still incredibly high.
40:42Please,
40:43don't be upset, okay?
40:45I'm sorry.
40:46What are you apologizing for now?
40:47I hurt you last night,
40:49didn't I?
40:50Were you in pain?
40:52You were a little rough,
40:54but I was fine.
40:55I actually find it attractive
40:57when you get aggressive.
40:59I'll be much more careful
41:01next time.
41:02If
41:04you still want a future with me.
41:06He paused.
41:08Before I could say anything,
41:09he kept going.
41:10I couldn't resist leaning in.
41:12If you don't want to stay,
41:13I get it.
41:15You're free to leave.
41:18It'll be incredibly hard for me,
41:20but I'll rein in my natural instincts.
41:22I'm swaying back and forth.
41:24He pressed his face
41:25into my chest,
41:26his voice muffled.
41:28Those incompetent idiots
41:29at the Warbeast administration
41:31don't know the first thing
41:32about genetics.
41:33Our compatibility
41:35is exactly 100%.
41:37I know it for a fact.
41:39The very first time I saw you,
41:42my heart rate spiked
41:43and my body temperature shot up.
41:46Long before any test data
41:47even existed,
41:48my body and mind
41:50recognized you.
41:52Many words hovered
41:54on the tip of my tongue,
41:55but I could not bring myself
41:57to say them.
41:58I asked,
41:59since you have these reactions to me,
42:01why do you always act so indifferent?
42:05Sorry, Tabby.
42:06Actually,
42:07there is a reason for all this.
42:10Let me take you somewhere.
42:12Maybe then you'll understand.
42:16Benjamin brought me to a cemetery.
42:19His mother was buried here.
42:20The lady in the photograph
42:22wore a gentle smile,
42:23and Benjamin's eyes
42:25resembled hers.
42:26After my mother's
42:28first husband passed away,
42:29she wandered the streets
42:31with my older brother
42:32until she met my father.
42:34Benjamin spoke in a low,
42:35steady voice.
42:36At that time,
42:37my father had already
42:38been promoted
42:38to a senior position
42:40in the Warbeast Treasury Department.
42:42He was a hopeless romantic,
42:44and despite everyone's objections,
42:47he gave my mother
42:48the most lavish affection.
42:50I have never seen
42:51a couple so deeply in love.
42:54Even when the test results
42:55later showed
42:56they were only 80% compatible.
42:59To me,
43:00it was 100%.
43:02But my mother was a human,
43:04a fragile human.
43:06Six years after they married,
43:07my father was promoted
43:08to the top position,
43:09but his political enemies
43:11bore a grudge.
43:12Unable to kill my father,
43:14they killed his weakness,
43:15which was my mother.
43:17I opened my mouth,
43:18but not a single word came out.
43:20It was unimaginable.
43:22For someone as devoted
43:24as Benjamin's father,
43:25the despair and grief
43:26after losing his beloved
43:27must have been overwhelming.
43:29Benjamin bent down
43:30and placed the flowers
43:32he had brought
43:32in front of the tombstone.
43:34There were many,
43:35many flowers,
43:36there some fresh and vibrant,
43:37others already withered.
43:39It was clear
43:40that people often came
43:41to visit this lady.
43:44My father was ready
43:45to die for love
43:45at that time.
43:48But when he turned around
43:49and saw Emmanuel and me
43:50looking at him
43:51with pleating eyes,
43:53he couldn't bear it
43:54and chose to live on.
43:56Benjamin turned
43:57to gaze at me.
43:58After my compatibility
43:59results came out,
44:01I secretly vowed
44:03that I would never let
44:04my mother's tragedy
44:05happen to you.
44:05I ponder.
44:07So?
44:09You don't let me
44:10go to headquarters
44:11and you rarely
44:13travel with me?
44:15Yes.
44:16My work is even more
44:17dangerous than my father's.
44:20Only by doing this
44:21can I protect you.
44:25Then why did you block
44:26the Werebeast administration?
44:27I didn't block them,
44:29just deleted them.
44:30We've all found our matches,
44:31so there's no need
44:32to keep them.
44:34I never intended
44:35to remarry.
44:37But after you came home,
44:38you still seemed
44:39a bit distant with me.
44:40You forgot Werebeast
44:41have extremely sensitive
44:42senses of smell.
44:44Benjamin slowly
44:46rolled up his sleeve.
44:47If I completely
44:48let myself go
44:49and fully merge with you,
44:50then your scent
44:52would cover me
44:52inside and out.
44:56That would be like
44:57handing your information
44:59straight to my enemies.
45:00This is the only way
45:01I can restrain myself.
45:04His arm was covered
45:06with many wounds,
45:07shocking to behold.
45:09Without my knowledge,
45:11Benjamin had forced himself
45:13to stay away from me
45:14by self-harming.
45:15Seeing those wounds
45:17made my heart ache.
45:18Benjamin apologized to me.
45:21I'm sorry.
45:22Why are you apologizing?
45:24Because my actions
45:25made you misunderstand.
45:27I'm truly sorry.
45:30Don't be.
45:32Actually,
45:33I was at fault.
45:34That 80%
45:35was really hard
45:36to talk about.
45:37I thought about
45:38raising a dog.
45:39Actually,
45:39the puppy only
45:40had eyes for me,
45:41but I had other dogs
45:43outside.
45:43I couldn't help
45:44but hug him tightly.
45:46Benjamin lowered
45:47his head and kissed me.
45:49In that moment,
45:50I didn't want to
45:51think about anything.
45:52No compatibility scores.
45:55No choices
45:56between two.
45:57I only knew
45:58that we were
45:58husband and wife.
46:00He was both
46:01my morality
46:01and my instinct.
46:06Emmanuel's speed
46:07was even faster
46:08than I had expected.
46:09A week later,
46:10he told me
46:11I could go home.
46:12The news came
46:13so suddenly
46:14that I felt a bit lost.
46:15Looking at the wedding photo
46:16on the bedside table,
46:18I was surprised
46:18to feel a trace
46:19of reluctance.
46:21But when I thought
46:22of my parents
46:22and friends,
46:23I steeled myself
46:25and replied to Emmanuel.
46:28I'll pack up
46:29and meet you
46:29at the lab.
46:30In fact,
46:31there was not much
46:32for me to pack.
46:33But I needed
46:34to leave a letter
46:35for Benjamin,
46:36explaining everything
46:37clearly.
46:38It took me
46:39half an hour
46:40to write the letter.
46:42During that time,
46:43Emmanuel did not
46:44reply to my messages,
46:45but I did not
46:46pay much attention.
46:47Once the letter
46:48was finished,
46:49I put on the outfit
46:50I had worn
46:50when I first arrived
46:51and left the house
46:53feeling light.
46:56But halfway there,
46:58I received another
46:59phone call.
46:59It was Benjamin's
47:00adjutant.
47:01Madam,
47:01you can answer
47:02the phone.
47:02Where are you now?
47:03Me?
47:03I'm at the Central Mall.
47:04What's wrong?
47:05You're alright?
47:06What could possibly
47:07be wrong with me?
47:08Oh no,
47:08if you're fine,
47:09then General Tarleton
47:10is in danger.
47:11What happened?
47:12Just now,
47:12General Tarleton
47:13received a video
47:14and thought you
47:15had been kidnapped.
47:16He went to the
47:16agreed location.
47:18If you're not in trouble,
47:19then someone must have
47:20deliberately set him up.
47:21Damn,
47:22why didn't he
47:23call me first
47:23to confirm?
47:24I don't know.
47:25The communication
47:25at home was blocked
47:26just now.
47:27Calls couldn't get
47:28through and texts
47:29wouldn't send.
47:30There was no time
47:31to go home and check
47:31so General Tarleton
47:32had to go rescue you
47:33first.
47:34I called you
47:35countless times
47:35and only this one
47:36finally connected.
47:37I glanced at my phone.
47:39Sure enough,
47:40Emmanuel's replies
47:41were now coming in
47:42like snowflakes.
47:43Do you remember
47:43the lab address code?
47:44Here,
47:45I'm almost there.
47:46I'll come down
47:47to meet you.
47:47Why did you stop
47:48replying?
47:49The call won't go through.
47:50What's going on?
47:51You didn't run
47:51into any danger,
47:52did you?
47:53I'll ask Benjamin.
47:54The agitant hurried
47:55to hang up,
47:56needing to send a team
47:57to help Benjamin.
47:58I had never realized
47:59that the real choice
48:00was right here.
48:01One step forward
48:02would be the road game.
48:03But behind me
48:03was Benjamin,
48:04whose safety
48:05was uncertain.
48:06It was just like
48:07when I first accepted
48:08this match.
48:08It took me only a second
48:10to make my decision.
48:11Give me
48:11Benjamin's address.
48:15When I rushed
48:16to the abandoned factory,
48:17memories of the little dog
48:19I had raised
48:19as a child resurfaced
48:21in my mind.
48:22People always favored
48:23their first dog,
48:24even though I knew
48:25that other breeds
48:26might be prettier
48:26and more pleasing to me.
48:28But I simply
48:29could not forget it,
48:30because it had given me
48:31my first sense
48:32of companionship
48:33and warmth.
48:34Benjamin was the same.
48:35He was the first person
48:37who had looked at me
48:37with those wet,
48:39earnest eyes.
48:39How could I bear
48:41to let those eyes
48:41be clouded because of me?
48:43The factory had long
48:44since been abandoned.
48:45I had no idea
48:47where Benjamin was
48:48at that moment.
48:48I activated all my senses,
48:51silently praying
48:52in my heart.
48:53That 80% compatibility
48:55please guide me.
48:57Suddenly,
48:58it felt as if
48:58all my cells opened up.
49:00I seemed to have acquired
49:01the same sense of smell
49:02as a werebeast,
49:04swiftly catching
49:05every trace of scent
49:06in the air.
49:06I found it.
49:08My running speed increased,
49:09my movements became agile,
49:11and I evaded the patrols
49:13of the rebel forces.
49:14Locating the already injured
49:16Benjamin in the warehouse
49:17with precision,
49:18he had managed to contend
49:19with the rebel forces
49:21single-handedly.
49:22Though he was wounded,
49:23he had fortunately
49:24escaped unharmed.
49:27Tabby?
49:28You're alright?
49:29Thank goodness.
49:31Benjamin immediately
49:31pulled me into his arms,
49:33letting out a sigh of relief.
49:37Since you're safe,
49:38you should have stayed home.
49:41You shouldn't have come.
49:42If I hadn't come,
49:44would you have kept
49:45risking everything
49:46to search for me?
49:47Benjamin pressed his lips together,
49:49not denying it.
49:50It seems I made the right choice
49:52coming here.
49:52The adjutant's messages
49:53could not be synchronized here,
49:55since the rebel forces
49:56had the means to interfere
49:58with the signals at home.
49:59They naturally had the means
50:01to interfere here as well.
50:02People outside were searching for him.
50:05They checked each room
50:06one by one.
50:08And soon they would reach this room.
50:10Just then,
50:11an explosion sounded outside.
50:14One by one,
50:16old-fashioned robots
50:17marched out from the darkness,
50:19then detonated themselves
50:21in succession.
50:22The sudden chaos
50:24threw the rebel forces
50:25into disarray,
50:26forcing them to halt their search.
50:29I saw,
50:30in the darkness,
50:31the figure controlling
50:33the robots.
50:34It was Emmanuel.
50:36Benjamin said,
50:38Reinforcements have arrived.
50:40Emmanuel,
50:41is your reinforcement?
50:43This is the factory
50:44where our mother worked
50:45before she passed away,
50:47specializing in robot production.
50:50Emmanuel grew up here
50:51as a child,
50:52and he knows better than anyone
50:54how to operate these robots.
50:56He's responsible for detonating them,
50:58distracting the rebel forces.
50:59When did you plan all this?
51:02There was no plan.
51:04Benjamin shook his head.
51:06I only told him that both you and I
51:07were trapped here,
51:08and the signal had been cut off.
51:10Emmanuel is very smart.
51:11He knows what to do.
51:15As they spoke,
51:16Emmanuel had already run
51:18beneath the window
51:19and opened a portable cloud soft bed.
51:21Go.
51:22Suddenly,
51:23Benjamin released me.
51:24Go find Emmanuel.
51:26Let him take you home.
51:28Right now,
51:29immediately!
51:30I was stunned.
51:31How did you know?
51:32If I couldn't even guess this,
51:35how could I be
51:36Grand Commander
51:37of the three armies?
51:38Benjamin revealed
51:40his unique confidence.
51:41I hurriedly grabbed him.
51:43Then come with me!
51:46I still have duties
51:47to fulfill.
51:48This country,
51:49its people,
51:51still need me.
51:52Benjamin reached out
51:54and gently stroked my cheek,
51:55gazing at me with reluctance,
51:57as if he wanted to remember
51:58my face forever.
52:00I'm very happy
52:01you came to find me today.
52:02But,
52:03be good.
52:04Your safety is more important
52:06than anything else.
52:07Benjamin extended his hand
52:09and pushed me toward Emmanuel.
52:11The flames blazed fiercely.
52:13That was the last time
52:15I saw Benjamin.
52:18It had been a month
52:20since I returned
52:20to my own world.
52:21I often sat on the balcony,
52:24lost in thought,
52:24just as Benjamin used to do.
52:27Emmanuel walked over
52:28and leaned against the doorframe.
52:30Are you still worried about him?
52:32Hmm.
52:34When we left,
52:35reinforcements arrived
52:36just in time.
52:38You should trust Benjamin.
52:40He didn't get that position
52:41because of family connections.
52:42He fought his way there
52:44with his own strength.
52:45I know, but...
52:47How could I not worry?
52:48He went against his own instincts
52:50to send me to Emmanuel.
52:51So I would go against
52:52my own instincts as well.
52:54I favored him unconditionally.
52:55Emmanuel lowered his gaze
52:56and smiled helplessly.
52:58Tomorrow we're having dinner
52:59with your parents.
53:01Don't let them think
53:02I've starved their precious
53:03pregnant daughter.
53:04I turned to look at him.
53:05Emmanuel,
53:06are you angry with me?
53:08Why do you ask?
53:09I touched my belly.
53:10I married you
53:11so this child
53:12could be born legitimately.
53:15When I think about it,
53:17it's not fair to you.
53:19It really isn't fair.
53:21Someone as talented as me
53:22and you use me for this?
53:24Emmanuel spoke with a smile.
53:25But who told me
53:26to be 100% for you?
53:28I'm willing.
53:30Besides,
53:31it saved both of you.
53:34Emmanuel's gaze
53:35shifted to my belly,
53:36becoming gentle.
53:37This was Benjamin's child.
53:39During our last time together,
53:40we hadn't taken precautions.
53:42On the day I found out
53:43I was pregnant,
53:43I finally understood why.
53:45On the day I rescued Benjamin,
53:46I suddenly gained the senses
53:47and abilities of a werebeast.
53:49It was because of the child.
53:50It had been doing
53:51everything it could to help me.
53:52To ensure the child
53:53would be accepted by my family,
53:55I thought of many ways.
53:56In the end,
53:57it was Emmanuel
53:58who took the initiative
53:59to become the child's
53:59nominal father.
54:01Emmanuel was young
54:01and accomplished,
54:02and my parents liked him
54:03very much.
54:04He truly took good care of me.
54:05He divided his time
54:07between scientific research
54:08and learning about
54:09prenatal education.
54:10Life passed peacefully like this.
54:12The baby was well behaved.
54:14I had no pregnancy symptoms,
54:15and my body became even stronger.
54:17I suppose Benjamin's
54:18excellent physical condition
54:19had influenced
54:20both the child and me.
54:23When I was seven months pregnant,
54:25I even went hiking
54:26with my friends.
54:27But because I walked too fast,
54:29I accidentally got separated
54:31from everyone.
54:31The mountain was quiet,
54:33with only the rustling sounds
54:35in my ears.
54:36A huge python slithered out
54:38from the grass.
54:39I was startled,
54:40my mind almost blank.
54:42What should I do?
54:43Should I run now,
54:44or take a chance and fight it?
54:45Cold sweat trickled down
54:47my forehead.
54:48But at that very moment,
54:49the python seemed to see something.
54:51Its body shrank back,
54:52eyes filled with terror,
54:54and it turned to flee
54:55to its lair.
54:56It brought a familiar scent.
54:58Suddenly,
54:59my blood boiled uncontrollably,
55:00and my heartbeat thundered.
55:02I slowly turned around.
55:04Benjamin stood behind me,
55:06wearing his uniform,
55:08arms open wide.
55:09I'm sorry,
55:10I was late.
55:12I often felt sorry
55:14for my baby.
55:15Until he was one year old,
55:17he had hardly had
55:18a peaceful day.
55:19There were always quarrels
55:20at home,
55:21Emmanuel said.
55:23Listen to me!
55:24I'm the child's
55:24nominal father!
55:26Benjamin replied.
55:27Look at the child's ears,
55:28tail,
55:30and pupils,
55:31and say that again.
55:32If I hadn't left
55:33that equipment for you,
55:34you wouldn't have had
55:34a chance to see Tabby again.
55:37Who said you could
55:38call her Tabby?
55:40Homewrecker!
55:42I have a marriage
55:43certificate with her.
55:44You're the homewrecker.
55:46Who doesn't?
55:47My certificate is dated
55:49earlier than yours.
55:50Why haven't you left yet?
55:51Is it peaceful over there?
55:53Is the army fine?
55:55Yes, it was suppressed
55:56with iron and blood.
55:58No need for your concern.
56:01But Matthias misses you
56:02very much.
56:03When will you go back
56:04to see him?
56:06Next week,
56:07after I'm done
56:08with my experiments,
56:10I'll bring a bottle
56:11of Pappy Van Winten
56:12for him to try.
56:14The baby suddenly
56:15whimpered twice.
56:17Benjamin immediately
56:18reached out.
56:18Daddy's here!
56:19Emmanuel also turned
56:20his head.
56:21Daddy's here!
56:22The two glared at each other,
56:24seemingly ready to fight
56:25over the title again.
56:26I quietly held the child
56:28and stayed away
56:29from the battlefield.
56:30Ah, the sunlight
56:32was so lovely.
