微电影文字稿
00:00:01I named them Ace, Deuce, and Trey, from oldest to youngest.
00:00:10Back then, they adored me.
00:00:12They trailed me from room to room.
00:00:15Their hands were always on me.
00:00:26Then my sister called with the family's orders.
00:00:28When are you coming home to marry him?
00:00:32My family found me a husband for the money.
00:00:36He was old and ugly.
00:00:40I refused him.
00:00:43So they cut off my income.
00:00:46They would never force Vivian to marry him.
00:00:50All the pressure fell on me instead.
00:00:54That guy buried three wives, and he's ugly.
00:00:59But his family is rich.
00:01:02Deuce pulled me close and kissed my hair.
00:01:05You sound upset. Just hang up on her.
00:01:10Vivian caught his voice through the phone.
00:01:12Who was that? His voice is gorgeous.
00:01:14Just three strays I took in.
00:01:16Strays?
00:01:17I have to see them. I'm coming tomorrow.
00:01:22I should have said no.
00:01:26The next day, she walked through my door.
00:01:28All three wolves turned to look at her, and not one of them looked away.
00:01:31I had seen that look before.
00:01:33It had never once been aimed at me.
00:01:36My sister Vivian always wants more in bed.
00:01:40But her partner is a snake.
00:01:43He stays cold.
00:01:44My partners are three wolves.
00:01:46Every night they wear me down to nothing.
00:01:49But none of them wants me.
00:01:51The one they want is Vivian.
00:01:52So I offered her a swap.
00:01:55My wolves had me all night.
00:01:57Then I blacked out.
00:01:59But I came to before they noticed.
00:02:02Voices drifted in from the living room.
00:02:05That soft little body.
00:02:07No stamina at all.
00:02:09She really thinks she can keep all three of us?
00:02:11Give it time.
00:02:13Once she breaks, she'll hand us to her sister.
00:02:16She can barely breathe.
00:02:17A few more nights, she's done.
00:02:19An hour ago, I had cried in their arms.
00:02:22They called that week.
00:02:24I was done crying.
00:02:26I reached for my phone and called Vivian.
00:02:30What's wrong?
00:02:31You said you were pent up, right?
00:02:32Take all three wolves.
00:02:33Give me your snake.
00:02:34Wait, really?
00:02:35They're okay with it?
00:02:36They like you.
00:02:37A lot.
00:02:38She didn't argue.
00:02:39Everyone likes her more.
00:02:41It has always been true.
00:02:43Fine.
00:02:43My place is bigger anyway.
00:02:44But my snake is cold.
00:02:45He won't touch you.
00:02:46Good.
00:02:47I'm too wrecked to want more.
00:02:48He can just handle the chores.
00:02:49I'll come this afternoon.
00:02:51The door opened the second she hung up.
00:02:54Ace stood there, his eyes heavy and half closed.
00:02:57He reached for my blanket.
00:02:59Wait.
00:03:00Not done resting, Master?
00:03:02We're done.
00:03:03Vivian takes you this afternoon.
00:03:05He went still.
00:03:06At the door, Deuce and Trey froze too.
00:03:09Which two of us?
00:03:10They thought I was keeping one.
00:03:12All three of you.
00:03:16Three months ago, none of this had happened.
00:03:19It started on a cold, rainy night.
00:03:22Three wolves lay bleeding on the wet concrete.
00:03:25I almost walked right past them.
00:03:27Then one weak tail curled around my ankle.
00:03:31I couldn't leave them there.
00:03:33So I carried all three of them home.
00:03:37They healed fast under my care.
00:03:41Then their growth phase hit.
00:03:44One by one, they shifted into men.
00:03:57I called the shifter shelter to give them up.
00:04:00They've imprinted on you.
00:04:01Abandoning them now would traumatize them.
00:04:06Three pairs of eyes watched me and waited.
00:04:09I didn't have the heart.
00:04:11So I kept them.
00:04:13I named them Ace, Deuce, and Trey, from oldest to youngest.
00:04:22Back then, they adored me.
00:04:25They trailed me from room to room.
00:04:28Their hands were always on me.
00:04:38Then my sister called with the family's orders.
00:04:41When are you coming home to marry him?
00:04:44My family found me a husband for the money.
00:04:49He was old and ugly.
00:04:52I refused him.
00:04:55So they cut off my income.
00:04:59They would never force Vivian to marry him.
00:05:02All the pressure fell on me instead.
00:05:07That guy buried three wives.
00:05:09And he's ugly.
00:05:11But his family is rich.
00:05:14Deuce pulled me close and kissed my hair.
00:05:17You sound upset.
00:05:19Just hang up on her.
00:05:22Vivian caught his voice through the phone.
00:05:24Who was that?
00:05:25His voice is gorgeous.
00:05:26Just three strays I took in.
00:05:28Strays?
00:05:29I have to see them.
00:05:31I'm coming tomorrow.
00:05:35I should have said no.
00:05:38The next day, she walked through my door.
00:05:40All three wolves turned to look at her and not one of them looked away.
00:05:44I had seen that look before.
00:05:46It had never once been aimed at me.
00:05:51Vivian stepped inside in a white dress.
00:05:56She drew every eyes in the room.
00:06:00Surprise!
00:06:00I just had to meet your strays.
00:06:02I turned to watch the wolves.
00:06:04All three of them only watched her.
00:06:06I had lived this a hundred times.
00:06:08Everyone always wants Vivian.
00:06:09She is bright and easy to love.
00:06:12Next to her, I am plain and quiet.
00:06:14So I turned away and said nothing.
00:06:17Your place is nothing like the family mansion.
00:06:20Is there even room for them here?
00:06:22They manage fine.
00:06:23Then I saw it happen.
00:06:25Ace never cared about anything.
00:06:27Now he stared at her.
00:06:28Deuce gave her his warmest smile.
00:06:31Even hot-tempered Trey watched her, ears twitching.
00:06:34Deuce peeled an apple and handed her a slice.
00:06:37Here.
00:06:37The sweetest part is yours.
00:06:40Ace refilled her water before the glass ran low.
00:06:44You three are so sweet.
00:06:46They had never once done that for me.
00:06:49She sat there sweet and oblivious to it all.
00:06:52That was the moment I knew.
00:06:54My things were about to become hers once more.
00:06:57After she left, everything changed.
00:07:00The soft nights were over.
00:07:01They took me harder and colder each time.
00:07:04Some nights I thought they wanted me dead.
00:07:06I finally understood what they were doing.
00:07:08One look at Vivian had been enough.
00:07:10They wanted her and I was in the way.
00:07:12So they would wear me down to nothing.
00:07:14Then I would hand them to my sister.
00:07:15But I heard them first.
00:07:17And I had a plan of my own.
00:07:18Hello.
00:07:20By afternoon, the apartment had gone dead quiet.
00:07:24Then someone knocked.
00:07:26Vivian was here.
00:07:28Ace laying on the wall and stared me down.
00:07:32You're really handing all three of us to her?
00:07:36I nodded.
00:07:37You won't even keep one of us?
00:07:41Which one of you wants to stay with me?
00:07:43The room went still.
00:07:44No one said a word.
00:07:46That was my answer.
00:07:47Trey rolled his eyes and went to the door.
00:07:50Drop the wounded act, all of you.
00:07:53He opened it.
00:07:57Vivian beamed at them.
00:07:59Hi, boys.
00:08:00My sister told you, right?
00:08:02You're all mine now.
00:08:04Trey leaned right into her.
00:08:05Hello, my new master.
00:08:09Don't pack a thing.
00:08:10I'll buy you everything at the mansion.
00:08:13Ace gave a lazy hum.
00:08:15Deuce glanced at her, then at me.
00:08:17I kept my face blank.
00:08:19Relax.
00:08:21I'll treat them better than you ever could.
00:08:23Vivian came over and patted my arm.
00:08:25Have your fun, then come home and marry him.
00:08:27Marry?
00:08:27What marriage?
00:08:28Vivian didn't explain.
00:08:29She smiled at me, soft and pitiful.
00:08:32Why not keep one?
00:08:33She looks so sad.
00:08:35Not one of them moved toward me.
00:08:36Between us, I am never the one chosen.
00:08:38We both made peace with that long ago.
00:08:40Then I lifted my chin.
00:08:41Where is he?
00:08:42Vivian paused, then called toward the hall.
00:08:45Come inside.
00:08:46Heavy footsteps crossed the floor.
00:08:48A tall man stepped into the light.
00:08:50He stood tall, his expression cold.
00:08:53Then his dark eyes locked onto mine.
00:08:56I held his cold stare and made myself speak.
00:08:59Hello?
00:09:01He looked down at me without a word.
00:09:03His gaze was heavy, dark, and reptile cold.
00:09:06He did not answer me at all.
00:09:09Goosebumps spread down both my arms.
00:09:11That's just how he is.
00:09:13Can't stand him.
00:09:14I'll take him back.
00:09:14Wait.
00:09:15Who is this guy?
00:09:17The driver is waiting downstairs.
00:09:19Let's go.
00:09:20She didn't explain, and I couldn't either.
00:09:24The three wolves went quiet and followed her out.
00:09:27Just like that, they were gone.
00:09:29The snake stayed behind without a word.
00:09:32I reached out to close the door.
00:09:34Deuce turned and looked back at me.
00:09:36His eyes gave nothing away.
00:09:38Then the man beside me changed.
00:09:40His dark pupils narrowed into cold slits.
00:09:42A slick tail shot around my waist.
00:09:45A strange, heavy scent burst through the room.
00:09:47It filled my lungs and made me dizzy.
00:09:49I shoved at his chest, but he didn't move.
00:09:51You-
00:09:52You're going into rut!
00:09:53He tugged at his collar, breathing hard.
00:09:55So hot.
00:09:56He pulled his shirt open at the throat.
00:09:58Hold on.
00:09:59Let me get you a suppressor.
00:10:00He caught my wrist before I could turn.
00:10:01Don't go.
00:10:02He pressed my palm flat against his bare chest.
00:10:04His skin was hot, and his heart pounded under it.
00:10:07This helps.
00:10:07Stay like this.
00:10:08He rushed straight to my face.
00:10:10Then, what do you want me to do?
00:10:12He pinned me back against the door.
00:10:15His tail caught me, so it didn't hurt.
00:10:18Hot breath spilled across the back of my neck.
00:10:20I could not break free of his hold.
00:10:24Then a fist pounded on the door.
00:10:26Cora?
00:10:26What's wrong in there?
00:10:29I didn't open the door.
00:10:31Instead, I reached up and touched his cold cheek.
00:10:34Does it hurt?
00:10:36Let me get you a suppressor.
00:10:37The heavy pressure around us eased at once.
00:10:40The thick scent stopped swelling in the air.
00:10:43More knocks landed on the door.
00:10:46You two okay in there?
00:10:47I thought I had calmed him down.
00:10:49I let out a slow breath of relief.
00:10:51Then something cold touched my neck.
00:10:54He bit down, firm but strangely gentle.
00:10:57I swallowed a sound and steadied my voice.
00:11:00It's nothing.
00:11:00You can all go.
00:11:02Really now?
00:11:04Mm-hmm.
00:11:06She said she's fine.
00:11:07Did that snake hurt you, Cora?
00:11:09No.
00:11:10His mouth brushed against my ear.
00:11:12So obedient.
00:11:14Do you want them to hear you?
00:11:15I dug my nails into his arm in warning.
00:11:18I bit my lip hard.
00:11:20He licked slowly over the spot he had bitten.
00:11:24Thank God the door had shut in time.
00:11:26The scent never leaked into the hall.
00:11:28Footsteps drifted away down the corridor.
00:11:31And then the wolves were truly gone.
00:11:33I shoved the snake off my body.
00:11:37I dug out a suppressus with shaking hands.
00:11:40These were the shots I gave the wolves in rut.
00:11:42I still had plenty left.
00:11:45I tossed the cessaris to him.
00:11:50Then I went and splashed water on my face.
00:11:53When I turned back, his eyes were calm again.
00:11:55The cold, distant snake was back in place.
00:11:58Nothing about him said he had just touched me.
00:12:00Aren't you supposed to be platonic?
00:12:04His tail was gone now.
00:12:06His face cold and still.
00:12:08That was normal.
00:12:09My last suppressor wore off a long time ago.
00:12:13Oh.
00:12:17Something there didn't add up.
00:12:18If Vivian truly wanted him, she'd never give him suppresses.
00:12:22And he obviously couldn't hold it back on his own.
00:12:25So how had he coped before?
00:12:26He didn't offer, so I didn't ask.
00:12:29I poured him a glass of warm water.
00:12:31Just rest today.
00:12:33You can do chores tomorrow.
00:12:35If you're not recovered, take a few more.
00:12:37Did you treat them the same way?
00:12:40I froze.
00:12:42He had to mean the wolves.
00:12:45I stayed quiet.
00:12:47Then I nodded.
00:12:48A long silence stretched between us.
00:12:53My name is Silas.
00:12:55His voice was low and calm.
00:12:57I caught on and smiled at him.
00:12:59Nice to meet you.
00:13:00I'm Cora.
00:13:01He stood and walked toward the balcony.
00:13:04My stomach dropped.
00:13:05Your room isn't there.
00:13:07Wait, are you going to jump?
00:13:09I rushed after him.
00:13:11He bent down and opened my washing machine.
00:13:14One by one, he lifted out my clean clothes.
00:13:17He was hanging my laundry to dry.
00:13:19Deuce had loaded the machine that morning.
00:13:21Then he had walked off and left it.
00:13:23I watched the cold snake handle my clothes.
00:13:26I'll buy a dryer soon.
00:13:27Then you won't have to.
00:13:29Silas said nothing.
00:13:31Everyone says wolves are the loyal ones.
00:13:33This cold snake felt more loyal than any of them.
00:13:40The next day, an unwanted guest knocked on my door.
00:13:44My family's butler stood at the door, stiff and polite.
00:13:47Miss, your father says the games are over.
00:13:50Come home and marry.
00:13:51His tone left no room to argue.
00:13:54No.
00:13:55Miss, this comes straight from your parents.
00:13:59Then several bodyguards stepped in behind him.
00:14:01I gave him a cold smile.
00:14:05Aren't you afraid I'll stab the groom at the altar?
00:14:08Then turn the knife on myself?
00:14:10The butler's face went tight.
00:14:12They knew I was not bluffing.
00:14:16Your father says marry him and you get 5% of the family company.
00:14:21My hand froze on the door.
00:14:245% of the company was real power.
00:14:28They had cut off my money for months.
00:14:30This was the first thing they ever offered me.
00:14:33My marriage was worth a fortune to them.
00:14:35The butler clearly saw I was tempted.
00:14:37The car is downstairs.
00:14:40Your sister wants Mr. Silas brought back, too.
00:14:43I glanced over my shoulder at Silas.
00:14:46Our eyes met across the room.
00:14:48His black eyes still showed nothing.
00:14:50But his calm felt wrong somehow.
00:14:53Why did Vivian suddenly want him back?
00:15:07My sister Vivian always wants more in bed.
00:15:10But her partner is a snake.
00:15:13He stays cold.
00:15:14My partners are three wolves.
00:15:17Every night they wear me down to nothing.
00:15:19But none of them wants me.
00:15:21The one they want is Vivian.
00:15:23So I offered her a swap.
00:15:25My wolves had me all night.
00:15:27Then I blacked out.
00:15:29But I came to before they noticed.
00:15:32Voices drifted in from the living room.
00:15:35That soft little body.
00:15:37No stamina at all.
00:15:39She really thinks she can keep all three of us?
00:15:42Give it time.
00:15:43Once she breaks, she'll hand us to her sister.
00:15:46She can barely breathe.
00:15:47A few more nights, she's done.
00:15:49An hour ago, I had cried in their arms.
00:15:52They called that week.
00:16:22I was done crying.
00:16:23Ace stood there, his eyes heavy and half closed.
00:16:27He reached for my blanket.
00:16:29Wait.
00:16:30Not done resting, Master?
00:16:32We're done.
00:16:33Vivian takes you this afternoon.
00:16:35He went still.
00:16:36At the door, Deuce and Trey froze too.
00:16:39Which two of us?
00:16:40They thought I was keeping one.
00:16:42All three of you.
00:16:47Three months ago, none of this had happened.
00:16:50It started on a cold, rainy night.
00:16:52Three wolves lay bleeding on the wet concrete.
00:16:55I almost walked right past them.

00:17:27I called the shifter shelter to give them up.
00:17:30They've imprinted on you.
00:17:31Abandoning them now would traumatize them.
00:17:37Three pairs of eyes watched me and waited.
00:17:39I didn't have the heart.
00:17:41So I kept them.
00:17:44I named them Ace, Deuce, and Trey from oldest to youngest.
00:17:52Back then, they adored me.
00:17:55They trailed me from room to room.
00:17:58Their hands were always on me.
00:18:08Then my sister called with the family's orders.
00:18:11When are you coming home to marry him?
00:18:14My family found me a husband for the money.
00:18:19He was old and ugly.
00:18:22I refused him.
00:18:25So they cut off my income.
00:18:29They would never force Vivian to marry him.
00:18:33All the pressure fell on me instead.
00:18:37That guy buried three wives.
00:18:39And he's ugly.
00:18:41But his family is rich.
00:18:45Deuce pulled me close and kissed my hair.
00:18:48You sound upset.
00:18:49Just hang up on her.
00:18:52Vivian caught his voice through the phone.
00:18:54Who was that?
00:18:55His voice is gorgeous.
00:18:57Just three strays I took in.
00:18:58Strays?
00:18:59I have to see them.
00:19:01I'm coming tomorrow.
00:19:05I should have said no.
00:19:08The next day, she walked through my door.
00:19:11All three wolves turned to look at her.
00:19:13And not one of them looked away.
00:19:14I had seen that look before.
00:19:16It had never once been aimed at me.
00:19:22Vivian stepped inside in a white dress.
00:19:26She drew every eyes in the room.
00:19:30Surprise!
00:19:31I just had to meet your strays.
00:19:32I turned to watch the wolves.
00:19:34All three of them only watched her.
00:19:36I had lived this a hundred times.
00:19:38Everyone always wants Vivian.
00:19:39She is bright and easy to love.
00:19:42Next to her, I am plain and quiet.
00:19:44So I turned away and said nothing.
00:19:47Your place is nothing like the family mansion.
00:19:50Is there even room for them here?
00:19:52They manage fine.
00:19:54Then I saw it happen.
00:19:55Ace never cared about anything.
00:19:57Now he stared at her.
00:19:58Deuce gave her his warmest smile.
00:20:01Even hot-tempered Trey watched her, ears twitching.
00:20:04Deuce peeled an apple and handed her a slice.
00:20:07Here.
00:20:07The sweetest part is yours.
00:20:11Ace refilled her water before the glass ran low.
00:20:14You three are so sweet.
00:20:16They had never once done that for me.
00:20:19She sat there sweet and oblivious to it all.
00:20:22That was the moment I knew.
00:20:24My things were about to become hers once more.
00:20:27After she left, everything changed.
00:20:30The soft nights were over.
00:20:32They took me harder and colder each time.
00:20:34Some nights I thought they wanted me dead.
00:20:36I finally understood what they were doing.
00:20:38One look at Vivian had been enough.
00:20:40They wanted her, and I was in the way.
00:20:42So they would wear me down to nothing.
00:20:44Then I would hand them to my sister.
00:20:45But I heard them first, and I had a plan of my own.
00:20:48Hello.
00:20:50By afternoon, the apartment had gone dead quiet.
00:20:55Then someone knocked.
00:20:56Vivian was here.
00:20:58Ace laying on the wall and stared me down.
00:21:02You're really handing all three of us to her?
00:21:06I nodded.
00:21:07You won't even keep one of us?
00:21:11Which one of you wants to stay with me?
00:21:13The room went still.
00:21:14No one said a word.
00:21:16That was my answer.
00:21:17Trey rolled his eyes and went to the door.
00:21:20Drop the wounded act, all of you.
00:21:23He opened it.
00:21:27Vivian beamed at them.
00:21:29Hi, boys.
00:21:31My sister told you, right?
00:21:32You're all mine now.
00:21:34Trey leaned right into her.
00:21:35Hello, my new master.
00:21:39Don't pack a thing.
00:21:40I'll buy you everything at the mansion.
00:21:43Ace gave a lazy hum.
00:21:45Deuce glanced at her, then at me.
00:21:47I kept my face blank.
00:21:49Relax.
00:21:51I'll treat them better than you ever could.
00:21:53Vivian came over and patted my arm.
00:21:55Have your fun, then come home and marry him.
00:21:57Marry?
00:21:57What marriage?
00:21:58Vivian didn't explain.
00:21:59She smiled at me, soft and pitiful.
00:22:02Why not keep one?
00:22:03She looks so sad.
00:22:05Not one of them moved toward me.
00:22:06Between us, I am never the one chosen.
00:22:08We both made peace with that long ago.
00:22:10Then I lifted my chin.
00:22:11Where is he?
00:22:12Vivian paused, then called toward the hall.
00:22:15Come inside.
00:22:17Heavy footsteps crossed the floor.
00:22:19A tall man stepped into the light.
00:22:21He stood tall, his expression cold.
00:22:23Then his dark eyes locked onto mine.
00:22:26I held his cold stare and made myself speak.
00:22:30Hello?
00:22:31Hello?
00:22:32He looked down at me without a word.
00:22:33His gaze was heavy, dark, and reptile cold.
00:22:37He did not answer me at all.
00:22:39Goosebumps spread down both my arms.
00:22:41That's just how he is.
00:22:43Can't stand him.
00:22:44I'll take him back.
00:22:44Wait, who is this guy?
00:22:48The driver is waiting downstairs.
00:22:50Let's go.
00:22:51She didn't explain, and I couldn't either.
00:22:54The three wolves went quiet and followed her out.
00:22:57Just like that, they were gone.
00:22:59The snake stayed behind without a word.
00:23:02I reached out to close the door.
00:23:05Deuce turned and looked back at me.
00:23:07His eyes gave nothing away.
00:23:08Then the man beside me changed.
00:23:10His dark pupils narrowed into cold slits.
00:23:13A slick tail shot around my waist.
00:23:15A strange, heavy scent burst through the room.
00:23:18It filled my lungs and made me dizzy.
00:23:20I shoved at his chest, but he didn't move.
00:23:22You... you're going into rut!
00:23:24He tugged at his collar, breathing hard.
00:23:26So hot.
00:23:26He pulled his shirt open at the throat.
00:23:28Hold on.
00:23:29Let me get you a suppressor.
00:23:30He caught my wrist before I could turn.
00:23:32Don't go.
00:23:32He pressed my palm flat against his bare chest.
00:23:34His skin was hot, and his heart pounded under it.
00:23:37This helps.
00:23:38Stay like this.
00:23:39Heat rushed straight to my face.
00:23:40Then, what do you want me to do?
00:23:42He pinned me back against the door.
00:23:45His tail caught me, so it didn't hurt.
00:23:48Hot breaths spilled across the back of my neck.
00:23:50I could not break free of his hold.
00:23:54Then a fist pounded on the door.
00:23:56Cora, what's wrong in there?
00:23:59I didn't open the door.
00:24:01Instead, I reached up and touched his cold cheek.
00:24:04Does it hurt?
00:24:06Let me get you a suppressor.
00:24:07The heavy pressure around us eased at once.
00:24:10The thick scent stopped swelling in the air.
00:24:13More knocks landed on the door.
00:24:16You two okay in there?
00:24:17I thought I had calmed him down.
00:24:19I let out a slow breath of relief.
00:24:21Then something cold touched my neck.
00:24:24He bit down, firm but strangely gentle.
00:24:27I swallowed a sound and steadied my voice.
00:24:30It's nothing.
00:24:30You can all go.
00:24:32Really now?
00:24:35Mm-hmm.
00:24:36She said she's fine.
00:24:37Did that snake hurt you, Cora?
00:24:39No.
00:24:40His mouth brushed against my ear.
00:24:42So obedient.
00:24:44Do you want them to hear you?
00:24:45I dug my nails into his arm in mourning.
00:24:48I bit my lip hard.
00:24:51He licked slowly over the spot he had bitten.
00:24:54Thank God the door had shut in time.
00:24:56The scent never leaked into the hall.
00:24:59Footsteps drifted away down the corridor.
00:25:01And then the wolves were truly gone.
00:25:03I shoved the snake off my body.
00:25:07I dug out a suppressus with shaking hands.
00:25:10These were the shots I gave the wolves in rut.
00:25:13I still had plenty left.
00:25:15I tossed the cessaris to him.
00:25:20Then I went and splashed water on my face.
00:25:23When I turned back, his eyes were calm again.
00:25:25The cold, distant snake was back in place.
00:25:28Nothing about him said he had just touched me.
00:25:30Aren't you supposed to be platonic?
00:25:34His tail was gone now.
00:25:36His face cold and still.
00:25:38That was normal.
00:25:39My last suppressor wore off a long time ago.
00:25:43Oh.
00:25:47Something there didn't add up.
00:25:48If Vivian truly wanted him, she'd never give him suppresses.
00:25:53And he obviously couldn't hold it back on his own.
00:25:55So how had he coped before?
00:25:57He didn't offer, so I didn't ask.
00:25:59I poured him a glass of warm water.
00:26:02Just rest today.
00:26:03You can do chores tomorrow.
00:26:05If you're not recovered, take a few more.
00:26:07Did you treat them the same way?
00:26:10I froze.
00:26:12He had to mean the wolves.
00:26:15I stayed quiet.
00:26:17Then I nodded.
00:26:18A long silence stretched between us.
00:26:23My name is Silas.
00:26:25His voice was low and calm.
00:26:27I caught on and smiled at him.
00:26:29Nice to meet you.
00:26:30I'm Cora.
00:26:31He stood and walked toward the balcony.
00:26:34My stomach dropped.
00:26:35Your room isn't there.
00:26:37Wait, are you going to jump?
00:26:39I rushed after him.
00:26:42He bent down and opened my washing machine.
00:26:44One by one, he lifted out my clean clothes.
00:26:47He was hanging my laundry to dry.
00:26:49Deuce had loaded the machine that morning.
00:26:51Then he had walked off and left it.
00:26:53I watched the cold snake handle my clothes.
00:26:56I'll buy a dryer soon.
00:26:58Then you won't have to.
00:26:59Silas said nothing.
00:27:01Everyone says wolves are the loyal ones.
00:27:03This cold snake felt more loyal than any of them.
00:27:10The next day, an unwanted guest knocked on my door.
00:27:14My family's butler stood at the door, stiff and polite.
00:27:18Miss, your father says the games are over.
00:27:20Come home and marry.
00:27:21His tone left no room to argue.
00:27:24No.
00:27:25Miss, this comes straight from your parents.
00:27:29Then several bodyguards stepped in behind him.
00:27:31I gave him a cold smile.
00:27:35Aren't you afraid I'll stab the groom at the altar?
00:27:38Then turn the knife on myself?
00:27:40The butler's face went tight.
00:27:42They knew I was not bluffing.
00:27:46Your father says marry him and you get 5% of the family company.
00:27:52My hand froze on the door.
00:27:545% of the company was real power.
00:27:58They had cut off my money for months.
00:28:00This was the first thing they ever offered me.
00:28:03My marriage was worth a fortune to them.
00:28:05The butler clearly saw I was tempted.
00:28:08The car is downstairs.
00:28:10Your sister wants Mr. Silas brought back too.
00:28:13I glanced over my shoulder at Silas.
00:28:16Our eyes met across the room.
00:28:18His black eyes still showed nothing.
00:28:20But his calm felt wrong somehow.
00:28:23Why did Vivian suddenly want him back?
00:28:37My sister Vivian always wants more in bed.
00:28:40But her partner is a snake.
00:28:43He stays cold.
00:28:44My partners are three wolves.
00:28:47Every night they wear me down to nothing.
00:28:49But none of them wants me.
00:28:51The one they want is Vivian.
00:28:53So I offered her a swap.
00:28:55My wolves had me all night.
00:28:57Then I blacked out.
00:29:00But I came to before they noticed.
00:29:02Voices drifted in from the living room.
00:29:05That soft little body.
00:29:07No stamina at all.
00:29:09She really thinks she can keep all three of us?
00:29:12Give it time.
00:29:13Once she breaks, she'll hand us to her sister.
00:29:16She can barely breathe.
00:29:18A few more nights, she's done.
00:29:19An hour ago, I had cried in their arms.
00:29:22They called that week.
00:29:24I was done crying.
00:29:27I reached for my phone and called Vivian.
00:29:30What's wrong?
00:29:31You said you were pent up, right?
00:29:32Take all three wolves.
00:29:33Give me your snake.
00:29:35Wait, really?
00:29:35They're okay with it?
00:29:36They like you.
00:29:38A lot.
00:29:38She didn't argue.
00:29:40Everyone likes her more.
00:29:41It has always been true.
00:29:43Fine, my place is bigger anyway.
00:29:45But my snake is cold.
00:29:46He won't touch you.
00:29:46Good.
00:29:47I'm too wrecked to want more.
00:29:48He can just handle the chores.
00:29:50I'll come this afternoon.
00:29:51The door opened the second she hung up.
00:29:54Ace stood there, his eyes heavy and half closed.
00:29:57He reached for my blanket.
00:29:59Wait.
00:30:00Not done resting, Master?
00:30:03We're done.
00:30:04Vivian takes you this afternoon.
00:30:05He went still.
00:30:06At the door, Deuce and Trey froze too.
00:30:09Which two of us?
00:30:10They thought I was keeping one.
00:30:12All three of you.
00:30:17Three months ago, none of this had happened.
00:30:20It started on a cold, rainy night.
00:30:23Three wolves lay bleeding on the wet concrete.
00:30:25I almost walked right past them.
00:30:27Then one weak tail curled around my ankle.
00:30:31I couldn't leave them there.
00:30:33So I carried all three of them home.
00:30:38They healed fast under my care.
00:30:42Then their growth phase hit.
00:30:44One by one, they shifted into men.
00:30:57I called the shifter shelter to give them up.
00:31:00They've imprinted on you.
00:31:02Abandoning them now would traumatize them.
00:31:07Three pairs of eyes watched me and waited.
00:31:10I didn't have the heart.
00:31:12So I kept them.
00:31:14I named them Ace, Deuce, and Trey, from oldest to youngest.
00:31:23Back then, they adored me.
00:31:25They trailed me from room to room.
00:31:28Their hands were always on me.
00:31:39Then my sister called with the family's orders.
00:31:41When are you coming home to marry him?
00:31:45My family found me a husband for the money.
00:31:49He was old and ugly.
00:31:53I refused him.
00:31:56So they cut off my income.
00:31:59They would never force Vivian to marry him.
00:32:03All the pressure fell on me instead.
00:32:07That guy buried three wives.
00:32:09And he's ugly.
00:32:11But his family is rich.
00:32:15Deuce pulled me close and kissed my hair.
00:32:18You sound upset.
00:32:19Just hang up on her.
00:32:22Vivian caught his voice through the phone.
00:32:24Who was that?
00:32:25His voice is gorgeous.
00:32:27Just three strays I took in.
00:32:28Strays?
00:32:30I have to see them.
00:32:31I'm coming tomorrow.
00:32:35I should have said no.
00:32:38The next day, she walked through my door.
00:32:41All three wolves turned to look at her.
00:32:43And not one of them looked away.
00:32:44I had seen that look before.
00:32:46It had never once been aimed at me.
00:32:52Vivian stepped inside in a white dress.
00:32:56She drew every eyes in the room.
00:33:00Surprise!
00:33:01I just had to meet your strays.
00:33:03I turned to watch the wolves.

00:33:31Even hot-tempered Trey watched her, ears twitching.
00:33:34Deuce peeled an apple and handed her a slice.
00:33:37Here.
00:33:37The sweetest part is yours.
00:33:41Ace refilled her water before the glass ran low.
00:33:45You three are so sweet.
00:33:46They had never once done that for me.
00:33:49She sat there sweet and oblivious to it all.
00:33:52That was the moment I knew.

00:33:58After she left, everything changed.
00:34:00The soft nights were over.

00:34:25Then someone knocked.
00:34:26Vivian was here.
00:34:28Ace laying on the wall and stared me down.
00:34:32You're really handing all three of us to her?
00:34:36I nodded.
00:34:38You won't even keep one of us?

00:34:50Drop the wounded act, all of you.
00:34:53He opened it.
00:34:57Vivian beamed at them.
00:34:59Hi, boys.
00:35:01My sister told you, right?
00:35:02You're all mine now.
00:35:04Trey leaned right into her.
00:35:05Hello, my new master.
00:35:09Don't pack a thing.
00:35:10I'll buy you everything at the mansion.
00:35:13Ace gave a lazy hum.
00:35:15Deuce glanced at her, then at me.
00:35:18I kept my face blank.
00:35:20Relax.
00:35:21I'll treat them better than you ever could.
00:35:23Vivian came over and patted my arm.
00:35:25Have your fun, then come home and marry him.
00:35:27Marry?
00:35:28What marriage?
00:35:28Vivian didn't explain.
00:35:30She smiled at me, soft and pitiful.
00:35:32Why not keep one?
00:35:33She looks so sad.
00:35:35Not one of them moved toward me.
00:35:36Between us, I am never the one chosen.
00:35:38We both made peace with that long ago.
00:35:40Then I lifted my chin.
00:35:41Where is he?
00:35:42Vivian paused, then called toward the hall.
00:35:45Come inside.
00:35:47Heavy footsteps crossed the floor.
00:35:49A tall man stepped into the light.
00:35:51He stood tall, his expression cold.
00:35:53Then his dark eyes locked onto mine.
00:35:56I held his cold stare and made myself speak.
00:36:00Hello?
00:36:01He looked down at me without a word.
00:36:03His gaze was heavy, dark, and reptile cold.
00:36:07He did not answer me at all.
00:36:09Goosebumps spread down both my arms.
00:36:12That's just how he is.
00:36:13Can't stand him.
00:36:14I'll take him back.
00:36:15Wait.
00:36:15Who is this guy?
00:36:18The driver is waiting downstairs.
00:36:19Let's go.
00:36:21She didn't explain, and I couldn't either.
00:36:24The three wolves went quiet and followed her out.
00:36:27Just like that, they were gone.
00:36:30The snake stayed behind without a word.
00:36:32I reached out to close the door.
00:36:35Deuce turned and looked back at me.
00:36:37His eyes gave nothing away.
00:36:38Then the man beside me changed.
00:36:40His dark pupils narrowed into cold slits.
00:36:43A slick tail shot around my waist.
00:36:45A strange, heavy scent burst through the room.
00:36:48It filled my lungs and made me dizzy.
00:36:50I shoved at his chest, but he didn't move.
00:36:52You-
00:36:52You're going into rut!
00:36:54He tugged at his collar, breathing hard.
00:36:56So hot.
00:36:56He pulled his shirt open at the throat.
00:36:58Hold on.
00:36:59Let me get you a suppressor.
00:37:00He caught my wrist before I could turn.
00:37:02Don't go.
00:37:02He pressed my palm flat against his bare chest.
00:37:05His skin was hot, and his heart pounded under it.
00:37:07This helps.
00:37:08Stay like this.
00:37:09Heat rushed straight to my face.
00:37:10Then, what do you want me to do?
00:37:12He pinned me back against the door.
00:37:15His tail caught me, so it didn't hurt.
00:37:18Hot breath spilled across the back of my neck.
00:37:20I could not break free of his hold.
00:37:24Then a fist pounded on the door.
00:37:26Cora, what's wrong in there?
00:37:29I didn't open the door.
00:37:31Instead, I reached up and touched his cold cheek.
00:37:35Does it hurt?
00:37:36Let me get you a suppressor.
00:37:37The heavy pressure around us eased at once.
00:37:40The thick scent stopped swelling in the air.
00:37:43More knocks landed on the door.
00:37:46You two okay in there?
00:37:47I thought I had calmed him down.
00:37:49I let out a slow breath of relief.
00:37:51Then something cold touched my neck.
00:37:54He bit down, firm but strangely gentle.
00:37:57I swallowed a sound and steadied my voice.
00:38:00It's nothing.
00:38:00You can all go.
00:38:02Really now?
00:38:05Mm-hmm.
00:38:06She said she's fine.
00:38:07Did that snake hurt you, Cora?
00:38:10No.
00:38:10His mouth brushed against my ear.
00:38:13So obedient.
00:38:14Do you want them to hear you?
00:38:16I dug my nails into his arm in mourning.
00:38:19I bit my lip hard.
00:38:21He licked slowly over the spot he had bitten.
00:38:24Thank God the door had shut in time.
00:38:26The scent never leaked into the hall.
00:38:29Footsteps drifted away down the corridor.
00:38:31And then the wolves were truly gone.
00:38:33I shoved the snake off my body.
00:38:37I dug out a suppressus with shaking hands.
00:38:40These were the shots I gave the wolves in rut.
00:38:43I still had plenty left.
00:38:45I tossed the cessaris to him.
00:38:51Then I went and splashed water on my face.
00:38:53When I turned back, his eyes were calm again.
00:38:55The cold, distant snake was back in place.
00:38:58Nothing about him said he had just touched me.
00:39:00Aren't you supposed to be platonic?
00:39:04His tail was gone now.
00:39:06His face cold and still.
00:39:08That was normal.
00:39:09My last suppressor wore off a long time ago.
00:39:13Oh.
00:39:17Something there didn't add up.
00:39:19If Vivian truly wanted him,
00:39:21she'd never give him suppresses.
00:39:23And he obviously couldn't hold it back on his own.
00:39:25So how had he coped before?
00:39:27He didn't offer, so I didn't ask.
00:39:29I poured him a glass of warm water.
00:39:32Just rest today.
00:39:33You can do chores tomorrow.
00:39:35If you're not recovered,
00:39:36take a few more.
00:39:38Did you treat them the same way?
00:39:40I froze.
00:39:42He had to mean the wolves.
00:39:46I stayed quiet.
00:39:47Then I nodded.
00:39:48A long silence stretched between us.
00:39:54My name is Silas.
00:39:55His voice was low and calm.
00:39:57I caught on and smiled at him.
00:39:59Nice to meet you.
00:40:00I'm Cora.
00:40:01He stood and walked toward the balcony.
00:40:04My stomach dropped.
00:40:06Your room isn't there.
00:40:07Wait, are you going to jump?
00:40:09I rushed after him.
00:40:12He bent down and opened my washing machine.
00:40:14One by one,
00:40:15he lifted out my clean clothes.
00:40:17He was hanging my laundry to dry.
00:40:19Deuce had loaded the machine that morning.
00:40:21Then he had walked off and left it.
00:40:23I watched the cold snake handle my clothes.
00:40:26I'll buy a dryer soon.
00:40:28Then you won't have to.
00:40:30Silas said nothing.
00:40:31Everyone says wolves are the loyal ones.
00:40:33This cold snake felt more loyal than any of them.
00:40:40The next day,
00:40:41an unwanted guest knocked on my door.
00:40:44My family's butler stood at the door,
00:40:47stiff and polite.
00:40:48Miss,
00:40:49your father says the games are over.
00:40:50Come home and marry.
00:40:51His tone left no room to argue.
00:40:54No.
00:40:55Miss,
00:40:56this comes straight from your parents.
00:40:59Then several bodyguards stepped in behind him.
00:41:02I gave him a cold smile.
00:41:05Aren't you afraid I'll stab the groom at the altar?
00:41:08Then turn the knife on myself?
00:41:10The butler's face went tight.
00:41:12They knew I was not bluffing.
00:41:16Your father says marry him
00:41:18and you get 5% of the family company.
00:41:22My hand froze on the door.
00:41:255% of the company was real power.
00:41:28They had cut off my money for months.
00:41:31This was the first thing they ever offered me.
00:41:33My marriage was worth a fortune to them.
00:41:36The butler clearly saw I was tempted.
00:41:38The car is downstairs.
00:41:40Your sister wants Mr. Silas brought back too.
00:41:44I glanced over my shoulder at Silas.
00:41:46Our eyes met across the room.
00:41:48His black eyes still showed nothing.
00:41:51But his calm felt wrong somehow.
00:41:53Why did Vivian suddenly want him back?
00:42:07My sister Vivian always wants more in bed.
00:42:11But her partner is a snake.
00:42:13He stays cold.
00:42:15My partners are three wolves.
00:42:17Every night they wear me down to nothing.
00:42:19But none of them wants me.
00:42:21The one they want is Vivian.
00:42:23So I offered her a swap.
00:42:25My wolves had me all night.
00:42:27Then I blacked out.
00:42:30But I came to before they noticed.
00:42:32Voices drifted in from the living room.
00:42:35That soft little body.
00:42:37No stamina at all.
00:42:39She really thinks she can keep all three of us?
00:42:42Give it time.
00:42:43Once she breaks, she'll hand us to her sister.
00:42:46She can barely breathe.
00:42:48A few more nights, she's done.
00:42:49An hour ago, I had cried in their arms.
00:42:52They called that week.
00:42:54I was done crying.
00:42:57I reached for my phone and called Vivian.
00:43:00What's wrong?
00:43:01You said you were pent up, right?
00:43:03Take all three wolves.
00:43:04Give me your snake.
00:43:05Wait, really?
00:43:06They're okay with it?
00:43:07They like you.
00:43:08A lot.
00:43:09She didn't argue.
00:43:10Everyone likes her more.
00:43:11It has always been true.
00:43:13Fine, my place is bigger anyway.
00:43:15But my snake is cold.
00:43:16He won't touch you.
00:43:17Good.
00:43:17I'm too wrecked to want more.
00:43:18He can just handle the chores.
00:43:20I'll come this afternoon.
00:43:22The door opened the second she hung up.
00:43:24Ace stood there, his eyes heavy and half closed.
00:43:27He reached for my blanket.
00:43:29Wait.
00:43:30Not done resting, Master?
00:43:33We're done.
00:43:34Vivian takes you this afternoon.
00:43:35He went still.
00:43:37At the door, Deuce and Trey froze too.
00:43:39Which two of us?
00:43:40They thought I was keeping one.
00:43:42All three of you.
00:43:47Three months ago, none of this had happened.
00:43:50It started on a cold, rainy night.
00:43:53Three wolves lay bleeding on the wet concrete.
00:43:56I almost walked right past them.
00:43:58Then one weak tail curled around my ankle.
00:44:01I couldn't leave them there.
00:44:03So I carried all three of them home.
00:44:08They healed fast under my care.
00:44:12Then their growth phase hit.
00:44:15One by one, they shifted into men.
00:44:27I called the shifter shelter to give them up.
00:44:30They've imprinted on you.
00:44:32Abandoning them now would traumatize them.
00:44:37Three pairs of eyes watched me and waited.
00:44:40I didn't have the heart.
00:44:42So I kept them.
00:44:44I named them Ace, Deuce, and Trey, from oldest to youngest.
00:44:53Back then, they adored me.
00:44:55They trailed me from room to room.
00:44:58Their hands were always on me.
00:45:09Then my sister called with the family's orders.
00:45:11When are you coming home to marry him?
00:45:15My family found me a husband for the money.
00:45:19He was old and ugly.
00:45:23I refused him.
00:45:26So they cut off my income.
00:45:29They would never force Vivian to marry him.
00:45:33All the pressure fell on me instead.
00:45:37That guy buried three wives.
00:45:39And he's ugly.
00:45:42But his family is rich.
00:45:45Deuce pulled me close and kissed my hair.
00:45:48You sound upset.
00:45:50Just hang up on her.
00:45:53Vivian caught his voice through the phone.
00:45:55Who was that?
00:45:55His voice is gorgeous.
00:45:57Just three strays I took in.
00:45:59Strays?
00:46:00I have to see them.
00:46:01I'm coming tomorrow.
00:46:05I should have said no.
00:46:09The next day, she walked through my door.
00:46:11All three wolves turned to look at her.
00:46:13And not one of them looked away.
00:46:15I had seen that look before.
00:46:16It had never once been aimed at me.
00:46:22Vivian stepped inside in a white dress.
00:46:26She drew every eyes in the room.
00:46:30Surprise!
00:46:31I just had to meet your strays.
00:46:33I turned to watch the wolves.
00:46:35All three of them only watched her.
00:46:36I had lived this a hundred times.
00:46:38Everyone always wants Vivian.
00:46:40She is bright and easy to love.
00:46:42Next to her, I am plain and quiet.
00:46:45So I turned away and said nothing.
00:46:47Your place is nothing like the family mansion.
00:46:50Is there even room for them here?
00:46:52They manage fine.
00:46:54Then I saw it happen.
00:46:56Ace never cared about anything.
00:46:57Now he stared at her.
00:46:58Deuce gave her his warmest smile.
00:47:01Even hot-tempered Trey watched her, ears twitching.
00:47:04Deuce peeled an apple and handed her a slice.
00:47:07Here.
00:47:08The sweetest part is yours.
00:47:11Ace refilled her water before the glass ran low.
00:47:15You three are so sweet.
00:47:17They had never once done that for me.
00:47:19She sat there sweet and oblivious to it all.
00:47:22That was the moment I knew.
00:47:25My things were about to become hers once more.
00:47:28After she left, everything changed.
00:47:30The soft nights were over.
00:47:32They took me harder and colder each time.
00:47:34Some nights I thought they wanted me dead.
00:47:36I finally understood what they were doing.
00:47:38One look at Vivian had been enough.
00:47:40They wanted her, and I was in the way.
00:47:42So they would wear me down to nothing.
00:47:44Then I would hand them to my sister.
00:47:46But I heard them first, and I had a plan of my own.
00:47:49Hello.
00:47:51By afternoon, the apartment had gone dead quiet.
00:47:55Then someone knocked.
00:47:56Vivian was here.
00:47:59Ace laying on the wall and stared me down.
00:48:02You're really handing all three of us to her?
00:48:06I nodded.
00:48:08You won't even keep one of us?
00:48:11Which one of you wants to stay with me?
00:48:13The room went still.
00:48:15No one said a word.
00:48:16That was my answer.
00:48:18Trey rolled his eyes and went to the door.
00:48:20Drop the wounded act, all of you.
00:48:24He opened it.
00:48:27Vivian beamed at them.
00:48:29Hi, boys.
00:48:31My sister told you, right?
00:48:33You're all mine now.
00:48:34Trey leaned right into her.
00:48:36Hello, my new master.
00:48:39Don't pack a thing.
00:48:41I'll buy you everything at the mansion.
00:48:43Ace gave a lazy hum.
00:48:45Deuce glanced at her, then at me.
00:48:48I kept my face blank.
00:48:50Relax.
00:48:51I'll treat them better than you ever could.
00:48:53Vivian came over and patted my arm.
00:48:55Have your fun, then come home and marry him.
00:48:57Marry?
00:48:58What marriage?
00:48:58Vivian didn't explain.
00:49:00She smiled at me, soft and pitiful.
00:49:02Why not keep one?
00:49:04She looked so sad.
00:49:05Not one of them moved toward me.
00:49:06Between us, I am never the one chosen.
00:49:09We both made peace with that long ago.
00:49:10Then I lifted my chin.
00:49:12Where is he?
00:49:12Vivian paused, then called toward the hall.
00:49:15Come inside.
00:49:17Heavy footsteps crossed the floor.
00:49:19A tall man stepped into the light.
00:49:21He stood tall, his expression cold.
00:49:23Then his dark eyes locked onto mine.
00:49:26I held his cold stare and made myself speak.
00:49:30Hello.
00:49:32He looked down at me without a word.
00:49:34His gaze was heavy, dark, and reptile cold.
00:49:37He did not answer me at all.
00:49:40Goosebumps spread down both my arms.
00:49:42That's just how he is.
00:49:43Can't stand him.
00:49:44I'll take him back.
00:49:45Wait.
00:49:45Who is this guy?
00:49:48The driver is waiting downstairs.
00:49:50Let's go.
00:49:51She didn't explain, and I couldn't either.
00:49:54The three wolves went quiet and followed her out.
00:49:57Just like that, they were gone.
00:50:00The snake stayed behind without a word.
00:50:02I reached out to close the door.
00:50:05Deuce turned and looked back at me.
00:50:07His eyes gave nothing away.
00:50:09Then the man beside me changed.
00:50:11His dark pupils narrowed into cold slits.
00:50:13A slick tail shot around my waist.
00:50:15A strange, heavy scent burst through the room.
00:50:18It filled my lungs and made me dizzy.
00:50:20I shoved at his chest, but he didn't move.
00:50:22You...
00:50:22You're going into rut!
00:50:24He tugged at his collar, breathing hard.
00:50:26So hot.
00:50:27He pulled his shirt open at the throat.
00:50:28Hold on.
00:50:29Let me get you a suppressor.
00:50:30He caught my wrist before I could turn.
00:50:32Don't go.
00:50:32He pressed my palm flat against his bare chest.
00:50:35His skin was hot, and his heart pounded under it.
00:50:37This helps.
00:50:38Stay like this.
00:50:39Heat rushed straight to my face.
00:50:41Then, what do you want me to do?
00:50:43He pinned me back against the door.
00:50:45His tail caught me, so it didn't hurt.
00:50:48Hot breath spilled across the back of my neck.
00:50:50I could not break free of his hold.
00:50:54Then a fist pounded on the door.
00:50:56Cora, what's wrong in there?
00:50:59I didn't open the door.
00:51:01Instead, I reached up and touched his cold cheek.
00:51:05Does it hurt?
00:51:06Let me get you a suppressor.
00:51:08The heavy pressure around us eased at once.
00:51:10The thick scent stopped swelling in the air.
00:51:13More knocks landed on the door.
00:51:16You two okay in there?
00:51:17I thought I had calmed him down.
00:51:19I let out a slow breath of relief.
00:51:22Then something cold touched my neck.
00:51:24He bit down.
00:51:26Firm but strangely gentle.
00:51:27I swallowed a sound and steadied my voice.
00:51:30It's nothing.
00:51:31You can all go.
00:51:33Really now?
00:51:35Mm-hmm.
00:51:36She said she's fine.
00:51:37Did that snake hurt you, Cora?
00:51:40No.
00:51:41His mouth brushed against my ear.
00:51:43So obedient.
00:51:44Do you want them to hear you?
00:51:45I dug my nails into his arm in mourning.
00:51:49I bit my lip hard.
00:51:51He licked slowly over the spot he had bitten.
00:51:54Thank God the door had shut in time.
00:51:57The scent never leaked into the hall.
00:51:59Footsteps drifted away down the corridor.
00:52:01And then the wolves were truly gone.
00:52:04I shoved the snake off my body.
00:52:07I dug out a suppressus with shaking hands.
00:52:10These were the shots I gave the wolves in rut.
00:52:13I still had plenty left.
00:52:15I tossed the cessaris to him.
00:52:21Then I went and splashed water on my face.
00:52:23When I turned back, his eyes were calm again.
00:52:26The cold, distant snake was back in place.
00:52:28Nothing about him said he had just touched me.
00:52:31Aren't you supposed to be platonic?
00:52:35His tail was gone now.
00:52:36His face cold and still.
00:52:38That was normal.
00:52:39My last suppressor wore off a long time ago.
00:52:43Oh.
00:52:47Something there didn't add up.
00:52:49If Vivian truly wanted him,
00:52:51she'd never give him suppresses.
00:52:53And he obviously couldn't hold it back on his own.
00:52:55So how had he coped before?
00:52:57He didn't offer, so I didn't ask.
00:52:59I poured him a glass of warm water.
00:53:01Just rest today.
00:53:03You can do chores tomorrow.
00:53:05If you're not recovered,
00:53:06take a few more.
00:53:08Did you treat them the same way?
00:53:10I froze.
00:53:12He had to mean the wolves.
00:53:16I stayed quiet.
00:53:17Then I nodded.
00:53:18A long silence stretched between us.
00:53:24My name is Silas.
00:53:25His voice was low and calm.
00:53:27I caught on and smiled at him.
00:53:29Nice to meet you.
00:53:30I'm Cora.
00:53:31He stood and walked toward the balcony.
00:53:34My stomach dropped.
00:53:36Your room isn't there.
00:53:37Wait, are you going to jump?
00:53:39I rushed after him.
00:53:42He bent down and opened my washing machine.
00:53:45One by one, he lifted out my clean clothes.
00:53:47He was hanging my laundry to dry.
00:53:50Deuce had loaded the machine that morning.
00:53:52Then he had walked off and left it.
00:53:53I watched the cold snake handle my clothes.
00:53:56I'll buy a dryer soon.
00:53:58Then you won't have to.
00:54:00Silas said nothing.
00:54:01Everyone says wolves are the loyal ones.
00:54:03This cold snake felt more loyal than any of them.
00:54:10The next day, an unwanted guest knocked on my door.
00:54:14My family's butler stood at the door, stiff and polite.
00:54:18Miss, your father says the games are over.
00:54:21Come home and marry.
00:54:21His tone left no room to argue.
00:54:24No.
00:54:25Miss, this comes straight from your parents.
00:54:29Then several bodyguards stepped in behind him.
00:54:32I gave him a cold smile.
00:54:35Aren't you afraid I'll stab the groom at the altar?
00:54:38Then turn the knife on myself?
00:54:40The butler's face went tight.
00:54:42They knew I was not bluffing.
00:54:46Your father says marry him,
00:54:49and you get 5% of the family company.
00:54:52My hand froze on the door.
00:54:555% of the company was real power.
00:54:58They had cut off my money for months.
00:55:01This was the first thing they ever offered me.
00:55:04My marriage was worth a fortune to them.
00:55:06The butler clearly saw I was tempted.
00:55:08The car is downstairs.
00:55:10Your sister wants Mr. Silas brought back, too.
00:55:14I glanced over my shoulder at Silas.
00:55:16Our eyes met across the room.
00:55:18His black eyes still showed nothing.
00:55:21But his calm felt wrong somehow.
00:55:23Why did Vivian suddenly want him back?
00:55:40Vivian stepped inside in a white dress.
00:55:44She drew every eyes in the room.
00:55:48Surprise!
00:55:49I just had to meet your strays.
00:55:51I turned to watch the wolves.
00:55:53All three of them only watched her.
00:55:54I had lived this a hundred times.
00:55:56Everyone always wants Vivian.
00:55:58She is bright and easy to love.
00:56:00Next to her, I am plain and quiet.
00:56:03So I turned away and said nothing.
00:56:05Your place is nothing like the family mansion.
00:56:08Is there even room for them here?
00:56:10They manage fine.
00:56:12Then I saw it happen.
00:56:13Ace never cared about anything.
00:56:15Now he stared at her.
00:56:16Deuce gave her his warmest smile.
00:56:19Even hot-tempered Trey watched her, ears twitching.
00:56:22Deuce peeled an apple and handed her a slice.
00:56:25Here.
00:56:25The sweetest part is yours.
00:56:29Ace refilled her water before the glass ran low.
00:56:32You three are so sweet.
00:56:35They had never once done that for me.
00:56:37She sat there sweet and oblivious to it all.
00:56:40That was the moment I knew.
00:56:42My things were about to become hers once more.
00:56:46After she left, everything changed.
00:56:48The soft nights were over.
00:56:50They took me harder and colder each time.
00:56:52Some nights I thought they wanted me dead.
00:56:54I finally understood what they were doing.
00:56:56One look at Vivian had been enough.
00:56:58They wanted her and I was in the way.
00:57:00So they would wear me down to nothing.
00:57:02Then I would hand them to my sister.
00:57:04But I heard them first.
00:57:05And I had a plan of my own.
00:57:06Hello.
00:57:09By afternoon, the apartment had gone dead quiet.
00:57:13Then someone knocked.
00:57:14Vivian was here.
00:57:16Ace laying on the wall and stared me down.
00:57:20You're really handing all three of us to her?
00:57:24I nodded.
00:57:26You won't even keep one of us?
00:57:29Which one of you wants to stay with me?
00:57:31The room went still.
00:57:33No one said a word.
00:57:34That was my answer.
00:57:36Trey rolled his eyes and went to the door.
00:57:38Drop the wounded act, all of you.
00:57:41He opened it.
00:57:45Vivian beamed at them.
00:57:47Hi, boys.
00:57:49My sister told you, right?
00:57:50You're all mine now.
00:57:52Trey leaned right into her.
00:57:53Hello, my new master.
00:57:57Don't pack a thing.
00:57:58I'll buy you everything at the mansion.
00:58:01Ace gave a lazy hum.
00:58:03Deuce glanced at her, then at me.
00:58:06I kept my face blank.
00:58:08Relax.
00:58:09I'll treat them better than you ever could.
00:58:11Vivian came over and patted my arm.
00:58:13Have your fun, then come home and marry him.
00:58:15Marry?
00:58:15What marriage?
00:58:16Vivian didn't explain.
00:58:17She smiled at me, soft and pitiful.
00:58:20Why not keep one?
00:58:21She looked so sad.
00:58:23Not one of them moved toward me.
00:58:24Between us, I am never the one chosen.
00:58:26We both made peace with that long ago.
00:58:28Then I lifted my chin.
00:58:29Where is he?
00:58:30Vivian paused, then called toward the hall.
00:58:33Come inside.
00:58:35Heavy footsteps crossed the floor.
00:58:37A tall man stepped into the light.
00:58:39He stood tall, his expression cold.
00:58:41Then his dark eyes locked onto mine.
00:58:44I held his cold stare and made myself speak.
00:58:48Hello.
00:58:49He looked down at me without a word.
00:58:51His gaze was heavy, dark, and reptile cold.
00:58:55He did not answer me at all.
00:58:57Goosebumps spread down both my arms.
00:58:59That's just how he is.
00:59:01Can't stand him, I'll take him back.
00:59:03Wait, who is this guy?
00:59:06The driver is waiting downstairs.
00:59:08Let's go.
00:59:09She didn't explain, and I couldn't either.
00:59:12The three wolves went quiet and followed her out.
00:59:15Just like that, they were gone.
00:59:17The snake stayed behind without a word.
00:59:20I reached out to close the door.
00:59:23Deuce turned and looked back at me.
00:59:25His eyes gave nothing away.
00:59:26Then the man beside me changed.
00:59:28His dark pupils narrowed into cold slits.
00:59:31A slick tail shot around my waist.
00:59:33A strange, heavy scent burst through the room.
00:59:36It filled my lungs and made me dizzy.
00:59:38I shoved at his chest, but he didn't move.
00:59:40You, you're going into rut!
00:59:42He tugged at his collar, breathing hard.
00:59:44So hot.
00:59:45He pulled his shirt open at the throat.
00:59:46Hold on, let me get you a suppressor.
00:59:48He caught my wrist before I could turn.
00:59:50Don't go.
00:59:50He pressed my palm flat against his bare chest.
00:59:53His skin was hot, and his heart pounded under it.
00:59:55This helps.
00:59:56Stay like this.
00:59:57Heat rushed straight to my face.
00:59:58Then, what do you want me to do?
01:00:00He pinned me back against the door.
01:00:03His tail caught me, so it didn't hurt.
01:00:06Hot breaths spilled across the back of my neck.
01:00:08I could not break free of his hold.
01:00:12Then a fist pounded on the door.
01:00:14Cora, what's wrong in there?
01:00:17I didn't open the door.
01:00:19Instead, I reached up and touched his cold cheek.
01:00:23Does it hurt?
01:00:24Let me get you a suppressor.
01:00:25The heavy pressure around us eased at once.
01:00:28The thick scent stopped swelling in the air.
01:00:31More knocks landed on the door.
01:00:34You two okay in there?
01:00:35I thought I had calmed him down.
01:00:37I let out a slow breath of relief.
01:00:40Then something cold touched my neck.
01:00:42He bit down, firm but strangely gentle.
01:00:45I swallowed a sound and steadied my voice.
01:00:48It's nothing.
01:00:48You can all go.
01:00:50Really now?
01:00:53Mm-hmm.
01:00:54She said she's fine.
01:00:55Did that snake hurt you, Cora?
01:00:58No.
01:00:58His mouth brushed against my ear.
01:01:01So obedient.
01:01:02Do you want them to hear you?
01:01:04I dug my nails into his arm in mourning.
01:01:07I bit my lip hard.
01:01:09He licked slowly over the spot he had bitten.
01:01:12Thank God the door had shut in time.
01:01:14The scent never leaked into the hall.
01:01:17Footsteps drifted away down the corridor.
01:01:19And then the wolves were truly gone.
01:01:21I shoved the snake off my body.
01:01:25I dug out a suppressus with shaking hands.
01:01:28These were the shots I gave the wolves in rut.
01:01:31I still had plenty left.
01:01:33I tossed the cessaris to him.
01:01:39Then I went and splashed water on my face.
01:01:41When I turned back, his eyes were calm again.
01:01:43The cold, distant snake was back in place.
01:01:46Nothing about him said he had just touched me.
01:01:48Aren't you supposed to be...
01:01:50Platonic?
01:01:52His tail was gone now.
01:01:54His face cold and still.
01:01:56That was normal.
01:01:57My last suppressor wore off a long time ago.
01:02:01Oh.
01:02:05Something there didn't add up.
01:02:07If Vivian truly wanted him, she'd never give him suppresses.
01:02:11And he obviously couldn't hold it back on his own.
01:02:13So how had he coped before?
01:02:15He didn't offer, so I didn't ask.
01:02:17I poured him a glass of warm water.
01:02:20Just rest today.
01:02:21You can do chores tomorrow.
01:02:23If you're not recovered, take a few more.
01:02:25Did you treat them the same way?
01:02:28I froze.
01:02:30He had to mean the wolves.
01:02:34I stayed quiet.
01:02:35Then I nodded.
01:02:36A long silence stretched between us.
01:02:42My name is Silas.
01:02:43His voice was low and calm.
01:02:45I caught on and smiled at him.
01:02:47Nice to meet you.
01:02:48I'm Cora.
01:02:49He stood and walked toward the balcony.
01:02:52My stomach dropped.
01:02:54Your room isn't there.
01:02:55Wait, are you going to jump?
01:02:57I rushed after him.
01:03:00He bent down and opened my washing machine.
01:03:02One by one, he lifted out my clean clothes.
01:03:05He was hanging my laundry to dry.
01:03:07Deuce had loaded the machine that morning.
01:03:09Then he had walked off and left it.
01:03:11I watched the cold snake handle my clothes.
01:03:14I'll buy a dryer soon.
01:03:16Then you won't have to.
01:03:17Silas said nothing.
01:03:19Everyone says wolves are the loyal ones.
01:03:21This cold snake felt more loyal than any of them.

01:03:39His tone left no room to argue.
01:03:42No.
01:03:43Miss, this comes straight from your parents.
01:03:47Then several bodyguards stepped in behind him.
01:03:50I gave him a cold smile.
01:03:53Aren't you afraid I'll stab the groom at the altar?
01:03:56Then turn the knife on myself?
01:03:58The butler's face went tight.
01:04:00They knew I was not bluffing.
01:04:04Your father says marry him, and you get 5% of the family company.
01:04:09My hand froze on the door.
01:04:135% of the company was real power.

01:04:18This was the first thing they ever offered me.
