00:00:02My sister Vivian always wants more in bed
00:00:06But her partner is a snake
00:00:08He stays cold
00:00:09My partners are three wolves
00:00:12Every night they wear me down to nothing
00:00:14But none of them wants me
00:00:16The one they want is Vivian
00:00:18So I offered her a swap
00:00:20My wolves had me all night
00:00:22Then I blacked out
00:00:25But I came to before they noticed
00:00:27Voices drifted in from the living room
00:00:31That soft little body
00:00:32No stamina at all
00:00:34She really thinks she can keep all three of us?
00:00:37Give it time
00:00:38Once she breaks
00:00:40She'll hand us to her sister
00:00:41She can barely breathe
00:00:43A few more nights she's done
00:00:44An hour ago I had cried in their arms
00:00:48They called that week
00:00:50I was done crying
00:00:52I reached for my phone and called Vivian
00:00:56What's wrong?
00:00:57You said you were pent up, right?
00:00:58Take all three wolves
00:00:59Give me your snake
00:01:00Wait, really?
00:01:01They're okay with it?
00:01:02They like you
00:01:03A lot
00:01:04She didn't argue
00:01:05Everyone likes her more
00:01:07It has always been true
00:01:09Fine, my place is bigger anyway
00:01:10But my snake is cold
00:01:11He won't touch you
00:01:12Good, I'm too wrecked to want more
00:01:14He can just handle the chores
00:01:15I'll come this afternoon
00:01:16The door opened the second she hung up
00:01:19Ace stood there
00:01:20His eyes heavy and half closed
00:01:22He reached for my blanket
00:01:24Wait
00:01:25Not done resting, Master?
00:01:28We're done
00:01:29Vivian takes you this afternoon
00:01:30He went still
00:01:32At the door
00:01:32Deuce and Trey froze too
00:01:34Which two of us?
00:01:36They thought I was keeping one
00:01:37All three of you
00:01:42Three months ago
00:01:43None of this had happened
00:01:45It started on a cold, rainy night
00:01:47Three wolves lay bleeding on the wet concrete
00:01:50I almost walked right past them
00:01:53Then one weak tail curled around my ankle
00:01:57I couldn't leave them there
00:01:58So I carried all three of them home
00:02:03They healed fast under my care
00:02:07Then their growth phase hit
00:02:10One by one
00:02:11They shifted into men
00:02:22I called the shifter shelter to give them up
00:02:25They've imprinted on you
00:02:26Abandoning them now would traumatize them
00:02:32Three pairs of eyes watched me and waited
00:02:35I didn't have the heart
00:02:37So I kept them
00:02:39I named them Ace, Deuce, and Trey
00:02:42From oldest to youngest
00:02:48Back then they adored me
00:02:51They trailed me from room to room
00:02:54Their hands were always on me
00:03:04Then my sister called with the family's orders
00:03:07When are you coming home to marry him?
00:03:10My family found me a husband for the money
00:03:14He was old and ugly
00:03:18I refused him
00:03:21So they cut off my income
00:03:24They would never force Vivian to marry him
00:03:28All the pressure fell on me instead
00:03:32That guy buried three wives
00:03:34And he's ugly
00:03:37But his family is rich
00:03:40Deuce pulled me close and kissed my hair
00:03:43You sound upset
00:03:44Just hang up on her
00:03:48Vivian caught his voice through the phone
00:03:50Who was that?
00:03:51His voice is gorgeous
00:03:52Just three strays I took in
00:03:54Strays?
00:03:55I have to see them
00:03:56I'm coming tomorrow
00:04:01I should have said no
00:04:04The next day she walked through my door
00:04:06All three wolves turned to look at her
00:04:08And not one of them looked away
00:04:10I had seen that look before
00:04:11It had never once been aimed at me
00:04:17Vivian stepped inside in a white dress
00:04:21She drew every eyes in the room
00:04:25Surprise!
00:04:26I just had to meet your strays
00:04:28I turned to watch the wolves
00:04:30All three of them only watched her
00:04:32I had lived this a hundred times
00:04:33Everyone always wants Vivian
00:04:35She is bright and easy to love
00:04:37Next to her, I am plain and quiet
00:04:40So I turned away and said nothing
00:04:42Your place is nothing like the family mansion
00:04:45Is there even room for them here?
00:04:47They manage fine
00:04:49Then I saw it happen
00:04:50Ace never cared about anything
00:04:52Now he stared at her
00:04:54Deuce gave her his warmest smile
00:04:56Even hot-tempered Trey watched her
00:04:58Ears twitching
00:04:59Deuce peeled an apple and handed her a slice
00:05:02Here, the sweetest part is yours
00:05:06Ace refilled her water
00:05:08Before the glass ran low
00:05:10You three are so sweet
00:05:12They had never once done that for me
00:05:15She sat there sweet
00:05:16And oblivious to it all
00:05:18That was the moment I knew
00:05:20My things were about to become hers once more
00:05:23After she left
00:05:24Everything changed
00:05:25The soft nights were over
00:05:27They took me harder and colder each time
00:05:29Some nights I thought they wanted me dead
00:05:31I finally understood what they were doing
00:05:33One look at Vivian had been enough
00:05:35They wanted her
00:05:36And I was in the way
00:05:38So they would wear me down to nothing
00:05:39Then I would hand them to my sister
00:05:41But I heard them first
00:05:42And I had a plan of my own
00:05:44Hello
00:05:46By afternoon
00:05:47The apartment had gone dead quiet
00:05:50Then someone knocked
00:05:51Vivian was here
00:05:54Ace leaned on the wall
00:05:55And stared me down
00:05:57You're really handing all three of us to her
00:06:01I nodded
00:06:03You won't even keep one of us
00:06:06Which one of you wants to stay with me
00:06:08The room went still
00:06:10No one said a word
00:06:11That was my answer
00:06:12Trey rolled his eyes and went to the door
00:06:16Drop the wounded act, all of you
00:06:19He opened it
00:06:22Vivian beamed at them
00:06:25Hi boys
00:06:26My sister told you, right?
00:06:28You're all mine now
00:06:29Trey leaned right into her
00:06:31Hello, my new master
00:06:35Don't pack a thing
00:06:36I'll buy you everything at the mansion
00:06:38Ace gave a lazy hum
00:06:40Deuce glanced at her
00:06:42Then at me
00:06:43I kept my face blank
00:06:45Relax
00:06:46I'll treat them better than you ever could
00:06:48Vivian came over and patted my arm
00:06:50Have your fun
00:06:51Then come home and marry him
00:06:52Marry?
00:06:53What marriage?
00:06:54Vivian didn't explain
00:06:55She smiled at me
00:06:56Soft and pitiful
00:06:57Why not keep one?
00:06:59She looks so sad
00:07:00Not one of them moved toward me
00:07:02Between us, I am never the one chosen
00:07:04We both made peace with that long ago
00:07:05Then I lifted my chin
00:07:07Where is he?
00:07:08Vivian paused
00:07:09Then called toward the hall
00:07:10Come inside
00:07:12Heavy footsteps crossed the floor
00:07:14A tall man stepped into the light
00:07:16He stood tall
00:07:17His expression cold
00:07:18Then his dark eyes locked onto mine
00:07:49I held his cold stare and made myself speak
00:07:50Three wolves went quiet and followed her out
00:07:52Just like that, they were gone
00:07:54The snake stayed behind without a word
00:07:57I reached out to close the door
00:08:00Deuce turned and looked back at me
00:08:02His eyes gave nothing away
00:08:04Then the man beside me changed
00:08:06His dark pupils narrowed into cold slits
00:08:08A slick tail shot around my waist
00:08:10A strange, heavy scent burst through the room
00:08:13It filled my lungs and made me dizzy
00:08:15I shoved at his chest, but he didn't move
00:08:17You... you're going into rut!
00:08:19He tugged at his collar, breathing hard
00:08:21So hot
00:08:22He pulled his shirt open at the throat
00:08:24Hold on, let me get you a suppressor
00:08:26He caught my wrist before I could turn
00:08:27Don't go
00:08:28He pressed my palm flat against his bare chest
00:08:30His skin was hot, and his heart pounded under it
00:08:32This helps
00:08:33Stay like this
00:08:34Heat rushed straight to my face
00:08:36Then, what do you want me to do?
00:08:38He pinned me back against the door
00:08:40His tail caught me, so it didn't hurt
00:08:43Hot breath spilled across the back of my neck
00:08:46I could not break free of his hold
00:08:50Then a fist pounded on the door
00:08:51Cora, what's wrong in there?
00:09:04My sister Vivian always wants more in bed
00:09:08But her partner is a snake
00:09:10He stays cold
00:09:11My partners are three wolves

00:16:31His gaze was heavy, dark, and reptile cold
00:16:34He did not answer me at all
00:16:37Goosebumps spread down both my arms
00:16:39That's just how he is
00:16:40Can't stand him, I'll take him back
00:16:42Wait, who is this guy?
00:16:45The driver is waiting downstairs
00:16:47Let's go
00:16:48She didn't explain
00:16:49And I couldn't either
00:16:51The three wolves went quiet and followed her out

00:18:06My sister Vivian always wants more in bed
00:18:10But her partner is a snake
00:18:12He stays cold
00:18:13My partners are three wolves
00:18:16Every night they wear me down to nothing
00:18:18But none of them wants me
00:18:20The one they want is Vivian
00:18:22So I offered her a swap
00:18:25My wolves had me all night
00:18:27Then I blacked out
00:18:29But I came to before they noticed
00:18:31Voices drifted in from the living room
00:18:35That soft little body, no stamina at all
00:18:38She really thinks she can keep all three of us?
00:18:41Give it time
00:18:42Once she breaks, she'll hand us to her sister
00:18:45She can barely breathe
00:18:47A few more nights, she's done
00:18:49An hour ago, I had cried in their arms
00:18:52They called that week
00:18:54I was done crying
00:18:56I reached for my phone and called Vivian
00:19:00What's wrong?
00:19:01You said you were pent up, right?
00:19:02Take all three wolves
00:19:03Give me your snake
00:19:04Wait, really?
00:19:05They're okay with it?
00:19:06They like you
00:19:07A lot
00:19:08She didn't argue
00:19:09Everyone likes her more
00:19:11It has always been true
00:19:13Fine, my place is bigger anyway
00:19:14But my snake is cold
00:19:15He won't touch you
00:19:16Good, I'm too wrecked to want more
00:19:18He can just handle the chores
00:19:19I'll come this afternoon
00:19:21The door opened the second she hung up
00:19:23Ace stood there
00:19:24His eyes heavy and half closed
00:19:26He reached for my blanket
00:19:29Wait
00:19:30Not done resting, Master?
00:19:32We're done
00:19:33Vivian takes you this afternoon
00:19:34He went still
00:19:36At the door
00:19:37Deuce and Trey froze too
00:19:38Which two of us?
00:19:40They thought I was keeping one
00:19:41All three of you
00:19:46Three months ago
00:19:47None of this had happened
00:19:49It started on a cold, rainy night
00:19:52Three wolves lay bleeding
00:19:53On the wet concrete
00:19:54I almost walked right past them
00:19:57Then one weak tail
00:19:58Curled around my ankle
00:20:01I couldn't leave them there
00:20:02So I carried all three of them home
00:20:07They healed fast under my care
00:20:11Then their growth phase hit
00:20:14One by one
00:20:15They shifted into men
00:20:26I called the shifter shelter to give them up
00:20:29They've imprinted on you
00:20:31Abandoning them now would traumatize them
00:20:36Three pairs of eyes watched me and waited
00:20:39I didn't have the heart
00:20:41So I kept them
00:20:43I named them Ace, Deuce, and Trey
00:20:46From oldest to youngest
00:20:52Back then they adored me
00:20:55They trailed me
00:20:56From room to room
00:20:58Their hands were always on me
00:21:08Then my sister called
00:21:10With the family's orders
00:21:11When are you coming home
00:21:12To marry him?
00:21:14My family found me a husband
00:21:16For the money
00:21:18He was old and ugly
00:21:22I refused him
00:21:25So they cut off my income
00:21:29They would never force Vivian to marry him
00:21:32All the pressure fell on me instead
00:21:36That guy buried three wives
00:21:38And he's ugly
00:21:41But his family is rich
00:21:44Deuce pulled me close and kissed my hair
00:21:47You sound upset
00:21:49Just hang up on her
00:21:52Vivian caught his voice through the phone
00:21:54Who was that?
00:21:55His voice is gorgeous
00:21:56Just three strays I took in
00:21:58Strays?
00:21:59I have to see them
00:22:00I'm coming tomorrow
00:22:05I should have said no
00:22:08The next day she walked through my door
00:22:10All three wolves turned to look at her
00:22:12And not one of them looked away
00:22:14I had seen that look before
00:22:15It had never once been aimed at me
00:22:21Vivian stepped inside in a white dress
00:22:25She drew every eyes in the room
00:22:29Surprise!
00:22:30I just had to meet your strays
00:22:32I turned to watch the wolves
00:22:34All three of them only watched her
00:22:36I had lived this a hundred times
00:22:37Everyone always wants Vivian
00:22:39She is bright and easy to love
00:22:41Next to her
00:22:42I am plain and quiet
00:22:44So I turned away and said nothing
00:22:46Your place is nothing like the family mansion
00:22:49Is there even room for them here?
00:22:51They manage fine
00:22:53Then I saw it happen
00:22:54Ace never cared about anything
00:22:56Now he stared at her
00:22:58Deuce gave her his warmest smile
00:23:00Even hot-tempered Trey watched her
00:23:02Ears twitching
00:23:03Deuce peeled an apple and handed her a slice
00:23:06Here, the sweetest part is yours
00:23:10Ace refilled her water before the glass ran low
00:23:14You three are so sweet
00:23:16They had never once done that for me
00:23:19She sat there sweet and oblivious to it all
00:23:22That was the moment I knew
00:23:24My things were about to become hers once more
00:23:27After she left, everything changed
00:23:29The soft nights were over
00:23:31They took me harder and colder each time
00:23:33Some nights I thought they wanted me dead
00:23:35I finally understood what they were doing
00:23:38One look at Vivian had been enough
00:23:40They wanted her
00:23:41And I was in the way
00:23:42So they would wear me down to nothing
00:23:43Then I would hand them to my sister
00:23:45But I heard them first
00:23:46And I had a plan of my own
00:23:48Hello
00:23:50By afternoon, the apartment had gone dead quiet
00:23:54Then someone knocked
00:23:55Vivian was here
00:23:58Ace laying on the wall and stared me down
00:24:01You're really handing all three of us to her
00:24:05I nodded
00:24:07You won't even keep one of us?
00:24:10Which one of you wants to stay with me?
00:24:13The room went still
00:24:14No one said a word
00:24:15That was my answer
00:24:16Trey rolled his eyes and went to the door
00:24:20Drop the wounded act, all of you
00:24:23He opened it
00:24:27Vivian beamed at them
00:24:29Hi boys
00:24:30My sister told you, right?
00:24:32You're all mine now
00:24:33Trey leaned right into her
00:24:35Hello, my new master
00:24:39Don't pack a thing
00:24:40I'll buy you everything at the mansion
00:24:42Ace gave a lazy hum
00:24:44Deuce glanced at her
00:24:46Then at me
00:24:47I kept my face blank
00:24:49Relax
00:24:50I'll treat them better than you ever could
00:24:52Vivian came over and patted my arm
00:24:54Have your fun, then come home and marry him
00:24:56Marry? What marriage?
00:24:58Vivian didn't explain
00:24:59She smiled at me
00:25:00Soft and pitiful
00:25:02Why not keep one?
00:25:03She looks so sad
00:25:04Not one of them moved toward me
00:25:06Between us, I am never the one chosen
00:25:08We both made peace with that long ago
00:25:09Then I lifted my chin
00:25:11Where is he?
00:25:12Vivian paused
00:25:13Then called toward the hall
00:25:14Come inside
00:25:16Heavy footsteps crossed the floor
00:25:18A tall man stepped into the light
00:25:20He stood tall
00:25:21His expression cold
00:25:22Then his dark eyes locked onto mine
00:25:26I held his cold stare
00:25:27And made myself speak
00:25:29Hello
00:25:31He looked down at me without a word
00:25:33His gaze was heavy
00:25:34Dark
00:25:35And reptile cold
00:25:36He did not answer me at all
00:25:39Goosebumps spread down both my arms
00:25:41That's just how he is
00:25:42Can't stand him
00:25:43I'll take him back
00:25:44Wait
00:25:44Who is this guy?
00:25:47The driver is waiting downstairs
00:25:49Let's go
00:25:50She didn't explain
00:25:51And I couldn't either
00:25:53The three wolves went quiet and followed her out
00:25:56Just like that
00:25:57They were gone
00:25:58The snake stayed behind without a word
00:26:01I reached out to close the door
00:26:04Deuce turned and looked back at me
00:26:06His eyes gave nothing away
00:26:08Then the man beside me changed
00:26:10His dark pupils narrowed into cold slits
00:26:12A slick tail shot around my waist
00:26:14A strange heavy scent burst through the room
00:26:17It filled my lungs and made me dizzy
00:26:19I shoved at his chest but he didn't move
00:26:21You
00:26:21You're going into rut
00:26:23He tugged at his collar
00:26:24Breathing hard
00:26:25So hot
00:26:26He pulled his shirt open at the throat
00:26:28Hold on
00:26:28Let me get you a suppressor
00:26:30He caught my wrist before I could turn
00:26:31Don't go
00:26:32He pressed my palm flat against his bare chest
00:26:34His skin was hot
00:26:35And his heart pounded under it
00:26:36This helps
00:26:37Stay like this
00:26:38Heat rushed straight to my face
00:26:40Then
00:26:40What do you want me to do?
00:26:42He pinned me back against the door
00:26:44His tail caught me so it didn't hurt
00:26:48Hot breath spilled across the back of my neck
00:26:50I could not break free of his hold
00:26:54Then a fist pounded on the door
00:26:55Cora?
00:26:56What's wrong in there?
00:27:08My sister Vivian always wants more in bed
00:27:12But her partner is a snake
00:27:14He stays cold
00:27:15My partners are three wolves
00:27:18Every night they wear me down to nothing
00:27:20But none of them wants me
00:27:22The one they want is Vivian
00:27:24So I offered her a swap
00:27:26My wolves had me all night
00:27:29Then I blacked out
00:27:31But I came to before they noticed
00:27:33Voices drifted in from the living room
00:27:37That soft little body
00:27:38No stamina at all
00:27:40She really thinks she can keep all three of us?
00:27:43Give it time
00:27:44Once she breaks
00:27:46She'll hand us to her sister
00:27:47She can barely breathe
00:27:49A few more nights she's done
00:27:51An hour ago I had cried in their arms
00:27:54They called that week
00:27:56I was done crying
00:27:58I reached for my phone
00:27:59And called Vivian
00:28:02What's wrong?
00:28:03You said you were pent up, right?
00:28:04Take all three wolves
00:28:05Give me your snake
00:28:06Wait, really?
00:28:07They're okay with it?
00:28:08They like you
00:28:09A lot
00:28:10She didn't argue
00:28:11Everyone likes her more
00:28:13It has always been true
00:28:15Fine, my place is bigger anyway
00:28:16But my snake is cold
00:28:17He won't touch you
00:28:18Good, I'm too wrecked to want more
00:28:20He can just handle the chores
00:28:21I'll come this afternoon
00:28:23The door opened the second she hung up
00:28:25Ace stood there
00:28:26His eyes heavy and half closed
00:28:28He reached for my blanket
00:28:31Wait
00:28:32Not done resting, Master?
00:28:34We're done
00:28:35Vivian takes you this afternoon
00:28:36He went still
00:28:38At the door
00:28:39Deuce and Trey froze too
00:28:40Which two of us?
00:28:42They thought I was keeping one
00:28:43All three of you
00:28:48Three months ago
00:28:50None of this had happened
00:28:51It started on a cold, rainy night
00:28:54Three wolves lay bleeding
00:28:56On the wet concrete
00:28:56I almost walked right past them
00:28:59Then one weak tail
00:29:00Curled around my ankle
00:29:03I couldn't leave them there
00:29:04So I carried all three of them home
00:29:09They healed fast under my care
00:29:13Then their growth phase hit
00:29:16One by one
00:29:17They shifted into men
00:29:28I called the shifter shelter
00:29:30To give them up
00:29:31They've imprinted on you
00:29:33Abandoning them now
00:29:34Would traumatize them
00:29:38Three pairs of eyes
00:29:40Watched me and waited
00:29:41I didn't have the heart
00:29:43So I kept them
00:29:45I named them Ace, Deuce, and Trey
00:29:48From oldest to youngest

00:30:43But his family is rich
00:30:46Deuce pulled me close
00:30:48And kissed my hair
00:30:49You sound upset
00:30:51Just hang up on her
00:30:54Vivian caught his voice
00:30:55Through the phone
00:30:56Who was that?
00:30:57His voice is gorgeous
00:30:58Just three strays I took in
00:31:00Strays?
00:31:01I have to see them
00:31:02I'm coming tomorrow
00:31:07I should have said no
00:31:10The next day
00:31:11She walked through my door
00:31:12All three wolves
00:31:13Turned to look at her
00:31:14And not one of them
00:31:15Looked away
00:31:16I had seen that look before
00:31:17It had never once
00:31:19Been aimed at me
00:31:23Vivian stepped inside
00:31:24In a white dress
00:31:28She drew every eyes
00:31:29In the room
00:31:31Surprise!
00:31:32I just had to meet
00:31:33Your strays
00:31:34I turned to watch the wolves
00:31:36All three of them
00:31:37Only watched her
00:31:38I had lived this
00:31:39A hundred times
00:31:39Everyone always wants Vivian
00:31:41She is bright
00:31:42And easy to love
00:31:43Next to her
00:31:44I am plain and quiet
00:31:46So I turned away
00:31:47And said nothing
00:31:48Your place is nothing
00:31:50Like the family mansion
00:31:51Is there even room
00:31:52For them here?
00:31:54They manage fine
00:31:55Then I saw it happen
00:31:56Ace never cared about anything
00:31:58Now he stared at her
00:32:00Deuce gave her
00:32:00His warmest smile
00:32:02Even hot-tempered Trey
00:32:04Watched her
00:32:04Ears twitching
00:32:05Deuce peeled an apple
00:32:06And handed her a slice
00:32:08Here
00:32:09The sweetest part is yours
00:32:12Ace refilled her water
00:32:14Before the glass ran low
00:32:16You three are so sweet
00:32:18They had never once
00:32:19Done that for me
00:32:21She sat there sweet
00:32:22And oblivious to it all
00:32:24That was the moment I knew
00:32:26My things were about
00:32:27To become hers once more
00:32:29After she left
00:32:30Everything changed
00:32:31The soft nights were over
00:32:33They took me harder
00:32:34And colder each time
00:32:35Some nights I thought
00:32:36They wanted me dead
00:32:37I finally understood
00:32:39What they were doing
00:32:40One look at Vivian
00:32:41Had been enough
00:32:42They wanted her
00:32:43And I was in the way
00:32:44So they would wear me
00:32:45Down to nothing
00:32:45Then I would hand them
00:32:46To my sister
00:32:47But I heard them first
00:32:48And I had a plan of my own
00:32:50Hello
00:32:52By afternoon
00:32:53The apartment had gone
00:32:54Dead quiet
00:32:56Then someone knocked
00:32:57Vivian was here
00:33:00Ace laying on the wall
00:33:01And stared me down
00:33:04You're really handing
00:33:04All three of us to her?
00:33:07I nodded
00:33:09You won't even keep
00:33:10One of us?
00:33:12Which one of you
00:33:13Wants to stay with me?
00:33:15The room went still
00:33:16No one said a word
00:33:17That was my answer
00:33:18Trey rolled his eyes
00:33:20And went to the door
00:33:22Drop the wounded act
00:33:23All of you
00:33:25He opened it
00:33:29Vivian beamed at them
00:33:31Hi boys
00:33:32My sister told you
00:33:33You're all mine now
00:33:35Trey leaned right into her
00:33:37Hello
00:33:37My new master
00:33:41Don't pack a thing
00:33:42I'll buy you everything
00:33:43At the mansion
00:33:44Ace gave a lazy hum
00:33:46Deuce glanced at her
00:33:48Then at me
00:33:49I kept my face blank
00:33:51Relax
00:33:52I'll treat them better
00:33:54Than you ever could
00:33:54Vivian came over
00:33:55And patted my arm
00:33:56Have your fun
00:33:57Then come home
00:33:58And marry him
00:33:58Marry?
00:33:59What marriage?
00:34:00Vivian didn't explain
00:34:01She smiled at me
00:34:02Soft and pitiful
00:34:04Why not keep one?
00:34:05She looks so sad
00:34:06Not one of them
00:34:07Move toward me
00:34:08Between us
00:34:08I am never the one chosen
00:34:10We both made peace
00:34:11With that long ago
00:34:11Then I lifted my chin
00:34:13Where is he?
00:34:14Vivian paused
00:34:15Then called toward the hall
00:34:16Come inside
00:34:18Heavy footsteps
00:34:19Crossed the floor
00:34:20A tall man
00:34:21Stepped into the light
00:34:22He stood tall
00:34:23His expression cold
00:34:24Then his dark eyes
00:34:25Locked onto mine
00:34:28I held his cold stare
00:34:29And made myself speak
00:34:31Hello
00:34:33He looked down at me
00:34:34Without a word
00:34:35His gaze was heavy
00:34:36Dark
00:34:37And reptile cold
00:34:38He did not answer me at all
00:34:41Goosebumps spread down
00:34:42Both my arms
00:34:43That's just how he is
00:34:44Can't stand him
00:34:45I'll take him back
00:34:46Wait
00:34:47Who is this guy?
00:34:49The driver is waiting downstairs
00:34:51Let's go
00:34:52She didn't explain
00:34:53And I couldn't either
00:34:56The three wolves went quiet
00:34:57And followed her out
00:34:58Just like that
00:34:59They were gone
00:35:00The snake stayed behind
00:35:03Without a word
00:35:03I reached out
00:35:05To close the door
00:35:06Deuce turned
00:35:07And looked back at me
00:35:08His eyes gave nothing away
00:35:10Then the man beside me changed
00:35:12His dark pupils
00:35:13Narrowed into cold slits
00:35:14A slick tail
00:35:15Shot around my waist
00:35:16A strange
00:35:17Heavy scent
00:35:18Burst through the room
00:35:19It filled my lungs
00:35:20And made me dizzy
00:35:21I shoved at his chest
00:35:22But he didn't move
00:35:23You
00:35:24You're going into rut
00:35:25He tugged at his collar
00:35:26Breathing hard
00:35:27So hot
00:35:28He pulled his shirt open
00:35:29At the throat
00:35:30Hold on
00:35:30Let me get you a suppressor
00:35:32He caught my wrist
00:35:32Before I could turn
00:35:33Don't go
00:35:34He pressed my palm
00:35:35Flat against his bare chest
00:35:36His skin was hot
00:35:37And his heart pounded under it
00:35:38This helps
00:35:39Stay like this
00:35:40Heat rushed straight
00:35:41To my face
00:35:42Then
00:35:42What do you want me to do?
00:35:44He pinned me back
00:35:45Against the door
00:35:46His tail caught me
00:35:48So it didn't hurt
00:35:50Hot breath spilled
00:35:51Across the back of my neck
00:35:52I could not break free
00:35:53Of his hold
00:35:56Then a fist pounded
00:35:57On the door
00:35:57Cora?
00:35:58What's wrong in there?
00:36:10My sister Vivian
00:36:12Always wants more in bed
00:36:14But her partner
00:36:15Is a snake
00:36:16He stays cold
00:36:18My partners
00:36:19Are three wolves
00:36:20Every night
00:36:21They wear me down
00:36:22To nothing
00:36:23But none of them
00:36:24Wants me
00:36:24The one they want
00:36:26Is Vivian
00:36:26So I offered her a swap
00:36:29My wolves had me all night
00:36:31Then I blacked out
00:36:33But I came to
00:36:34Before they noticed
00:36:35Voices drifted in
00:36:37From the living room
00:36:38That soft little body
00:36:40No stamina at all
00:36:42She really thinks
00:36:43She can keep
00:36:44All three of us?
00:36:45Give it time
00:36:46Once she breaks
00:36:48She'll hand us
00:36:49To her sister
00:36:49She can barely breathe
00:36:51A few more nights
00:36:52She's done
00:36:53An hour ago
00:36:54I had cried
00:36:54In their arms
00:36:56They called
00:36:56That week
00:36:58I was done crying
00:37:00I reached for my phone
00:37:01And called Vivian
00:37:04What's wrong?
00:37:05You said you were
00:37:05Pent up, right?
00:37:06Take all three wolves
00:37:07Give me your snake
00:37:08Wait, really?
00:37:09They're okay with it?
00:37:10They like you
00:37:11A lot
00:37:12She didn't argue
00:37:13Everyone likes her more
00:37:15It has always been true
00:37:17Fine, my place is bigger anyway
00:37:18But my snake is cold
00:37:19He won't touch you
00:37:20Good
00:37:20I'm too wrecked
00:37:21To want more
00:37:22He can just handle the chores
00:37:23I'll come this afternoon
00:37:25The door opened
00:37:26The second she hung up
00:37:27Ace stood there
00:37:28His eyes heavy
00:37:29And half closed
00:37:30He reached for my blanket
00:37:32Wait
00:37:34Not done resting, master?
00:37:36We're done
00:37:37Vivian takes you this afternoon
00:37:38He went still
00:37:40At the door
00:37:41Deuce and Trey froze too
00:37:42Which two of us?
00:37:44They thought I was keeping one
00:37:45All three of you
00:37:50Three months ago
00:37:52None of this had happened
00:37:53It started on a cold, rainy night
00:37:56Three wolves lay bleeding
00:37:58On the wet concrete
00:37:58I almost walked right past them
00:38:01Then one weak tail
00:38:02Curled around my ankle
00:38:05I couldn't leave them there
00:38:06So I carried all three of them home
00:38:11They healed fast under my care
00:38:15Then their growth phase hit
00:38:18One by one
00:38:19They shifted into men
00:38:31I called the shifter shelter
00:38:32To give them up
00:38:33They've imprinted on you
00:38:35Abandoning them now
00:38:36Would traumatize them
00:38:40Three pairs of eyes
00:38:42Watched me and waited
00:38:43I didn't have the heart
00:38:45So I kept them
00:38:47I named them Ace
00:38:49Deuce
00:38:50And Trey
00:38:51From oldest to youngest
00:38:56Back then
00:38:57They adored me
00:38:59They trailed me
00:39:00From room to room
00:39:02Their hands
00:39:03Were always on me
00:39:12Then my sister called
00:39:14With the family's orders
00:39:15When are you coming home
00:39:16To marry him
00:39:18My family found me
00:39:20A husband for the money
00:39:23He was old and ugly
00:39:26I refused him
00:39:29So they cut off my income
00:39:33They would never force
00:39:34Vivian to marry him
00:39:36All the pressure
00:39:38Fell on me instead
00:39:40That guy buried three wives
00:39:42And he's ugly
00:39:45But his family is rich
00:39:48Deuce pulled me close
00:39:50And kissed my hair
00:39:51You sound upset
00:39:53Just hang up on her
00:39:56Vivian caught his voice
00:39:57Through the phone
00:39:58Who was that?
00:39:59His voice is gorgeous
00:40:00Just three strays
00:40:01I took in
00:40:02Strays?
00:40:03I have to see them
00:40:04I'm coming tomorrow
00:40:09I should have said no
00:40:12The next day
00:40:13She walked through my door
00:40:14All three wolves
00:40:15Turned to look at her
00:40:16And not one of them
00:40:17Looked away
00:40:18I had seen that look before
00:40:19It had never once
00:40:21Been aimed at me
00:40:25Vivian stepped inside
00:40:27In a white dress
00:40:30She drew every eyes
00:40:31In the room
00:40:33Surprise!
00:40:34I just had to meet your strays
00:40:36I turned to watch the wolves
00:40:38All three of them only watched her
00:40:40I had lived this a hundred times
00:40:41Everyone always wants Vivian
00:40:43She is bright and easy to love
00:40:45Next to her
00:40:46I am plain and quiet
00:40:48So I turned away and said nothing
00:40:51Your place is nothing like the family mansion
00:40:53Is there even room for them here?
00:40:55They manage fine
00:40:57Then I saw it happen
00:40:59Ace never cared about anything
00:41:00Now he stared at her
00:41:02Deuce gave her his warmest smile
00:41:04Even hot-tempered Trey watched her
00:41:06Ears twitching
00:41:07Deuce peeled an apple
00:41:08And handed her a slice
00:41:10Here
00:41:11The sweetest part is yours
00:41:14Ace refilled her water
00:41:16Before the glass ran low
00:41:18You three are so sweet
00:41:20They had never once done that for me
00:41:23She sat there sweet
00:41:24And oblivious to it all
00:41:26That was the moment I knew
00:41:28My things were about to become hers once more
00:41:31After she left
00:41:32Everything changed
00:41:33The soft nights were over
00:41:35They took me harder and colder each time
00:41:37Some nights I thought they wanted me dead
00:41:39I finally understood what they were doing
00:41:42One look at Vivian had been enough
00:41:44They wanted her
00:41:45And I was in the way
00:41:46So they would wear me down to nothing
00:41:47Then I would hand them to my sister
00:41:49But I heard them first
00:41:51And I had a plan of my own
00:41:52Hello
00:41:54By afternoon
00:41:55The apartment had gone dead quiet
00:41:58Then someone knocked
00:42:00Vivian was here
00:42:02Ace laying on the wall
00:42:03And stared me down
00:42:05You're really handing all three of us to her?
00:42:10I nodded
00:42:11You won't even keep one of us?
00:42:14Which one of you wants to stay with me?
00:42:17The room went still
00:42:18No one said a word
00:42:19That was my answer
00:42:20Trey rolled his eyes and went to the door
00:42:24Drop the wounded act, all of you
00:42:27He opened it
00:42:31Vivian beamed at them
00:42:33Hi boys
00:42:34My sister told you, right?
00:42:36You're all mine now
00:42:37Trey leaned right into her
00:42:39Hello, my new master
00:42:43Don't pack a thing
00:42:44I'll buy you everything at the mansion
00:42:46Ace gave a lazy hum
00:42:49Deuce glanced at her
00:42:50Then at me
00:42:51I kept my face blank
00:42:53Relax
00:42:54I'll treat them better than you ever could
00:42:56Vivian came over and patted my arm
00:42:58Have your fun, then come home and marry him
00:43:00Marry?
00:43:01What marriage?
00:43:02Vivian didn't explain
00:43:03She smiled at me
00:43:04Soft and pitiful
00:43:06Why not keep one?
00:43:07She looks so sad
00:43:08Not one of them moved toward me
00:43:10Between us, I am never the one chosen
00:43:12We both made peace with that long ago
00:43:14Then I lifted my chin
00:43:15Where is he?
00:43:16Vivian paused
00:43:17Then called toward the hall
00:43:18Come inside
00:43:20Heavy footsteps crossed the floor
00:43:22A tall man stepped into the light
00:43:24He stood tall
00:43:25His expression cold
00:43:26Then his dark eyes locked onto mine
00:43:30I held his cold stare
00:43:31And made myself speak
00:43:33Hello
00:43:35He looked down at me without a word
00:43:37His gaze was heavy
00:43:38Dark
00:43:39And reptile cold
00:43:40He did not answer me at all
00:43:43Goosebumps spread down both my arms
00:43:45That's just how he is
00:43:46Can't stand him
00:43:47I'll take him back
00:43:48Wait
00:43:49Who is this guy?
00:43:51The driver is waiting downstairs
00:43:53Let's go
00:43:54She didn't explain
00:43:55And I couldn't either
00:43:58The three wolves went quiet
00:43:59And followed her out
00:44:00Just like that
00:44:02They were gone
00:44:03The snake stayed behind without a word
00:44:05I reached out to close the door
00:44:08Deuce turned
00:44:09And looked back at me
00:44:10His eyes gave nothing away
00:44:12Then the man beside me changed
00:44:14His dark pupils narrowed into cold slits
00:44:16A slick tail shot around my waist
00:44:18A strange, heavy scent burst through the room
00:44:21It filled my lungs and made me dizzy
00:44:23I shoved at his chest
00:44:24But he didn't move
00:44:25You
00:44:26You're going into rut
00:44:27He tugged at his collar
00:44:28Breathing hard
00:44:29So hot
00:44:30He pulled his shirt open at the throat
00:44:32Hold on
00:44:32Let me get you a suppressor
00:44:34He caught my wrist before I could turn
00:44:35Don't go
00:44:36He pressed my palm flat against his bare chest
00:44:38His skin was hot
00:44:39And his heart pounded under it
00:44:40This helps
00:44:41Stay like this
00:44:42Heat rushed straight to my face
00:44:44Then
00:44:44What do you want me to do?
00:44:46He pinned me back against the door
00:44:49His tail caught me
00:44:50So it didn't hurt
00:44:52Hot breath spilled across the back of my neck
00:44:54I could not break free of his hold
00:44:58Then a fist pounded on the door
00:45:00Cora?
00:45:00What's wrong in there?
00:45:12My sister Vivian always wants more in bed
00:45:16But her partner is a snake
00:45:18He stays cold
00:45:20My partners are three wolves
00:45:22Every night they wear me down to nothing
00:45:25But none of them wants me
00:45:26The one they want is Vivian
00:45:28So I offered her a swap
00:45:30My wolves had me all night
00:45:33Then I blacked out
00:45:35But I came to before they noticed
00:45:37Voices drifted in from the living room
00:45:41That soft little body
00:45:42No stamina at all
00:45:44She really thinks she can keep all three of us?
00:45:47Give it time
00:45:48Once she breaks
00:45:50She'll hand us to her sister
00:45:51She can barely breathe
00:45:53A few more nights she's done
00:45:55An hour ago I had cried in their arms
00:45:58They called that week
00:46:00I was done crying
00:46:02I reached for my phone and called Vivian
00:46:06What's wrong?
00:46:07You said you were pent up, right?
00:46:08Take all three wolves
00:46:09Give me your snake
00:46:10Wait, really?
00:46:11They're okay with it?
00:46:12They like you
00:46:13A lot
00:46:14She didn't argue
00:46:15Everyone likes her more
00:46:17It has always been true
00:46:19Fine, my place is bigger anyway
00:46:20But my snake is cold
00:46:21He won't touch you
00:46:22Good
00:46:22I'm too wrecked to want more
00:46:24He can just handle the chores
00:46:25I'll come this afternoon
00:46:26The door opened the second she hung up
00:46:29Ace stood there
00:46:30His eyes heavy and half closed
00:46:32He reached for my blanket
00:46:34Wait
00:46:35Not done resting, Master?
00:46:38We're done
00:46:39Vivian takes you this afternoon
00:46:41He went still
00:46:42At the door
00:46:43Deuce and Trey froze too
00:46:45Which two of us?
00:46:46They thought I was keeping one
00:46:47All three of you
00:46:52Three months ago
00:46:54None of this had happened
00:46:55It started on a cold, rainy night
00:46:58Three wolves lay bleeding

00:47:13They healed fast under my care

00:47:20One by one
00:47:21They shifted into men
00:47:33I called the shifter shelter
00:47:34To give them up
00:47:35They've imprinted on you
00:47:37Abandoning them now
00:47:38Would traumatize them
00:47:42Three pairs of eyes
00:47:44Watched me and waited
00:47:45I didn't have the heart
00:47:47So I kept them
00:47:49I named them Ace
00:47:51Deuce
00:47:52And Trey
00:47:53From oldest to youngest

00:47:59They adored me
00:48:01They trailed me
00:48:02From room to room
00:48:04Their hands
00:48:05Were always on me
00:48:14Then my sister called
00:48:16With the family's orders
00:48:17When are you coming home
00:48:18To marry him
00:48:20My family found me

00:48:47But his family is rich
00:48:50Deuce pulled me close
00:48:52And kissed my hair
00:48:53You sound upset
00:48:55Just hang up on her
00:48:58Vivian caught his voice
00:48:59Through the phone
00:49:00Who was that?
00:49:01His voice is gorgeous
00:49:02Just three strays I took in
00:49:04Strays?
00:49:05I have to see them
00:49:06I'm coming tomorrow
00:49:11I should have said no
00:49:14The next day
00:49:15She walked through my door
00:49:16All three wolves
00:49:17Turned to look at her
00:49:18And not one of them
00:49:19Looked away
00:49:20I had seen that look before
00:49:21It had never once
00:49:23Been aimed at me
00:49:27Vivian stepped inside
00:49:29In a white dress
00:49:32She drew every eyes
00:49:33In the room
00:49:36Surprise!
00:49:36I just had to meet your strays
00:49:38I turned to watch the wolves
00:49:40All three of them
00:49:41Only watched her
00:49:42I had lived this
00:49:43A hundred times
00:49:43Everyone always wants Vivian
00:49:45She is bright
00:49:46And easy to love
00:49:47Next to her
00:49:48I am plain and quiet
00:49:50So I turned away
00:49:51And said nothing
00:49:52Your place is nothing
00:49:54Like the family mansion
00:49:55Is there even room
00:49:57For them here?
00:49:58They manage fine
00:49:59Then I saw it happen
00:50:01Ace never cared
00:50:02About anything
00:50:02Now he stared at her
00:50:04Deuce gave her
00:50:05His warmest smile
00:50:06Even hot-tempered
00:50:08Trey watched her
00:50:08Ears twitching
00:50:09Deuce peeled an apple
00:50:10And handed her a slice
00:50:12Here
00:50:13The sweetest part is yours
00:50:16Ace refilled her water
00:50:18Before the glass ran low
00:50:20You three are so sweet
00:50:22They had never once
00:50:23Done that for me
00:50:25She sat there sweet
00:50:26And oblivious to it all
00:50:28That was the moment I knew
00:50:30My things were about
00:50:31To become hers once more
00:50:33After she left
00:50:34Everything changed
00:50:35The soft nights were over
00:50:37They took me harder
00:50:38And colder each time
00:50:40Some nights I thought
00:50:41They wanted me dead
00:50:41I finally understood
00:50:43What they were doing
00:50:44One look at Vivian
00:50:45Had been enough
00:50:46They wanted her
00:50:47And I was in the way
00:50:48So they would wear me
00:50:49Down to nothing
00:50:49Then I would hand them
00:50:50To my sister
00:50:51But I heard them first
00:50:53And I had a plan of my own
00:50:54Hello
00:50:56By afternoon
00:50:57The apartment had gone
00:50:59Dead quiet
00:51:00Then someone knocked
00:51:02Vivian was here
00:51:04Ace laying on the wall
00:51:05And stared me down
00:51:08You're really handing
00:51:08All three of us to her?
00:51:12I nodded
00:51:13You won't even keep
00:51:14One of us?
00:51:16Which one of you
00:51:17Wants to stay with me?
00:51:19The room went still
00:51:20No one said a word
00:51:21That was my answer
00:51:23Trey rolled his eyes
00:51:24And went to the door
00:51:26Drop the wounded act
00:51:27All of you
00:51:29He opened it
00:51:33Vivian beamed at them
00:51:35Hi boys
00:51:36My sister told you, right?
00:51:38You're all mine now
00:51:39Trey leaned right into her
00:51:41Hello
00:51:41My new master
00:51:45Don't pack a thing
00:51:46I'll buy you everything
00:51:47At the mansion
00:51:48Ace gave a lazy hum
00:51:51Deuce glanced at her
00:51:52Then at me
00:51:53I kept my face blank
00:51:55Relax
00:51:57I'll treat them better
00:51:58Than you ever could
00:51:58Vivian came over
00:51:59And patted my arm
00:52:00Have your fun
00:52:01Then come home
00:52:02And marry him
00:52:02Marry?
00:52:03What marriage?
00:52:04Vivian didn't explain
00:52:05She smiled at me
00:52:06Soft and pitiful
00:52:08Why not keep one?
00:52:09She looks so sad
00:52:10Not one of them
00:52:11Moved toward me
00:52:12Between us
00:52:12I am never the one chosen
00:52:14We both made peace
00:52:15With that long ago
00:52:16Then I lifted my chin
00:52:17Where is he?
00:52:18Vivian paused
00:52:19Then called toward the hall
00:52:20Come inside
00:52:22Heavy footsteps
00:52:23Crossed the floor
00:52:24A tall man
00:52:25Stepped into the light
00:52:26He stood tall
00:52:27His expression cold
00:52:28Then his dark eyes
00:52:29Locked onto mine
00:52:32I held his cold stare
00:52:33And made myself speak
00:52:35Hello
00:52:37He looked down at me
00:52:38Without a word
00:52:39His gaze was heavy
00:52:40Dark
00:52:41And reptile cold
00:52:42He did not answer me at all
00:52:45Goosebumps spread down
00:52:46Both my arms
00:52:47That's just how he is
00:52:48Can't stand him
00:52:49I'll take him back
00:52:50Wait
00:52:51Who is this guy?
00:52:53The driver is waiting downstairs
00:52:55Let's go
00:52:56She didn't explain
00:52:57And I couldn't either
00:53:00The three wolves went quiet
00:53:01And followed her out
00:53:02Just like that
00:53:04They were gone
00:53:05The snake stayed behind
00:53:07Without a word
00:53:07I reached out
00:53:09To close the door
00:53:10Deuce turned
00:53:11And looked back at me
00:53:12His eyes gave nothing away
00:53:14Then the man beside me changed
00:53:16His dark pupils narrowed
00:53:17Into cold slits
00:53:18A slick tail shot around my waist
00:53:20A strange
00:53:21Heavy scent
00:53:22Burst through the room
00:53:23It filled my lungs
00:53:24And made me dizzy
00:53:25I shoved at his chest
00:53:26But he didn't move
00:53:27You
00:53:28You're going into rut
00:53:29He tugged at his collar
00:53:30Breathing hard
00:53:31So hot
00:53:32He pulled his shirt open
00:53:33At the throat
00:53:34Hold on
00:53:34Let me get you a suppressor
00:53:36He caught my wrist
00:53:36Before I could turn
00:53:37Don't go
00:53:38He pressed my palm
00:53:39Flat against his bare chest
00:53:40His skin was hot
00:53:41And his heart pounded under it
00:53:42This helps
00:53:43Stay like this
00:53:44Heat rushed straight to my face
00:53:46Then
00:53:46What do you want me to do?
00:53:48He pinned me back against the door
00:53:51His tail caught me
00:53:52So it didn't hurt
00:53:54Hot breath spilled
00:53:55Across the back of my neck
00:53:56I could not break free of his hold
00:54:00Then a fist pounded on the door
00:54:02Cora?
00:54:02What's wrong in there?
00:54:14My sister Vivian always wants more in bed
00:54:18But her partner is a snake
00:54:20He stays cold
00:54:22My partners are three wolves
00:54:24Every night they wear me down to nothing
00:54:27But none of them wants me
00:54:29The one they want is Vivian
00:54:30So I offered her a swap
00:54:32My wolves had me all night
00:54:35Then I blacked out
00:54:37But I came to before they noticed
00:54:39Voices drifted in from the living room
00:54:43That soft little body
00:54:44No stamina at all
00:54:46She really thinks she can keep all three of us?
00:54:49Give it time
00:54:50Once she breaks
00:54:52She'll hand us to her sister
00:54:53She can barely breathe
00:54:55A few more nights she's done
00:54:57An hour ago I had cried in their arms
00:55:00They called that week
00:55:02I was done crying
00:55:04I reached for my phone and called Vivian
00:55:08What's wrong?
00:55:09You said you were pent up, right?
00:55:10Take all three wolves
00:55:11Give me your snake
00:55:12Wait, really?
00:55:13They're okay with it?
00:55:14They like you
00:55:15A lot
00:55:16She didn't argue
00:55:17Everyone likes her more
00:55:19It has always been true
00:55:21Fine, my place is bigger anyway
00:55:22But my snake is cold
00:55:23He won't touch you
00:55:24Good
00:55:24I'm too wrecked to want more
00:55:26He can just handle the chores
00:55:27I'll come this afternoon
00:55:29The door opened the second she hung up
00:55:31Ace stood there
00:55:32His eyes heavy and half closed
00:55:34He reached for my blanket
00:55:36Wait
00:55:37Not done resting, Master?
00:55:40We're done
00:55:41Vivian takes you this afternoon
00:55:43He went still
00:55:44At the door
00:55:45Deuce and Trey froze too
00:55:47Which two of us?
00:55:48They thought I was keeping one
00:55:49All three of you
00:55:54Three months ago
00:55:56None of this had happened
00:55:57It started on a cold, rainy night
00:56:00Three wolves lay bleeding on the wet concrete
00:56:03I almost walked right past them
00:56:05Then one weak tail curled around my ankle
00:56:09I couldn't leave them there
00:56:10So I carried all three of them home
00:56:15They healed fast under my care
00:56:19Then their growth phase hit
00:56:22One by one
00:56:23They shifted into men
00:56:35I called the shifter shelter to give them up
00:56:37They've imprinted on you
00:56:39Abandoning them now would traumatize them
00:56:44Three pairs of eyes watched me and waited
00:56:47I didn't have the heart
00:56:49So I kept them
00:56:51I named them Ace, Deuce, and Trey
00:56:55From oldest to youngest
00:57:00Back then, they adored me
00:57:02They trailed me from room to room
00:57:06Their hands were always on me
00:57:16Then my sister called with the family's orders
00:57:19When are you coming home to marry him?
00:57:22My family found me a husband for the money
00:57:27He was old and ugly
00:57:30I refused him
00:57:33So they cut off my income
00:57:37They would never force Vivian to marry him
00:57:40All the pressure fell on me instead
00:57:45That guy buried three wives
00:57:46And he's ugly
00:57:49But his family is rich
00:57:52Deuce pulled me close and kissed my hair
00:57:55You sound upset
00:57:57Just hang up on her
00:58:00Vivian caught his voice through the phone
00:58:02Who was that?
00:58:03His voice is gorgeous
00:58:04Just three strays I took in
00:58:06Strays?
00:58:07I have to see them
00:58:08I'm coming tomorrow
00:58:13I should have said no
00:58:16The next day, she walked through my door
00:58:18All three wolves turned to look at her
00:58:20And not one of them looked away
00:58:22I had seen that look before
00:58:23It had never once been aimed at me
00:58:29Vivian stepped inside in a white dress
00:58:34She drew every eyes in the room
00:58:38Surprise, I just had to meet your strays
00:58:40I turned to watch the wolves
00:58:42All three of them only watched her
00:58:44I had lived this a hundred times
00:58:46Everyone always wants Vivian
00:58:47She is bright and easy to love
00:58:49Next to her, I am plain and quiet
00:58:52So I turned away and said nothing
00:58:55Your place is nothing like the family mansion
00:58:57Is there even room for them here?
00:59:00They manage fine
00:59:01Then I saw it happen
00:59:03Ace never cared about anything
00:59:04Now he stared at her
00:59:06Deuce gave her his warmest smile
00:59:09Even hot-tempered Trey watched her
00:59:10Ears twitching
00:59:11Deuce peeled an apple and handed her a slice
00:59:14Here, the sweetest part is yours
00:59:18Ace refilled her water before the glass ran low
00:59:22You three are so sweet
00:59:24They had never once done that for me
00:59:27She sat there sweet and oblivious to it all
00:59:30That was the moment I knew
00:59:32My things were about to become hers once more
00:59:35After she left, everything changed
00:59:37The soft nights were over
00:59:39They took me harder and colder each time
00:59:42Some nights I thought they wanted me dead
00:59:43I finally understood what they were doing
00:59:46One look at Vivian had been enough
00:59:48They wanted her and I was in the way
00:59:50So they would wear me down to nothing
00:59:51Then I would hand them to my sister
00:59:53But I heard them first
00:59:55And I had a plan of my own
00:59:56Hello
00:59:58By afternoon, the apartment had gone dead quiet
01:00:02Then someone knocked
01:00:04Vivian was here
01:00:06Ace laying on the wall and stared me down
01:00:10You're really handing all three of us to her?
01:00:14I nodded
01:00:15You won't even keep one of us?
01:00:18Which one of you wants to stay with me?
01:00:21The room went still
01:00:22No one said a word
01:00:23That was my answer
01:00:25Trey rolled his eyes and went to the door
01:00:28Drop the wounded act, all of you
01:00:31He opened it
01:00:35Vivian beamed at them
01:00:37Hi boys
01:00:38My sister told you, right?
01:00:40You're all mine now
01:00:41Trey leaned right into her
01:00:43Hello, my new master
01:00:47Don't pack a thing
01:00:48I'll buy you everything at the mansion
01:00:50Ace gave a lazy hum
01:00:53Deuce glanced at her
01:00:54Then at me
01:00:55I kept my face blank
01:00:57Relax
01:00:58I'll treat them better than you ever could
01:01:00Vivian came over and patted my arm
01:01:02Have your fun
01:01:03Then come home and marry him
01:01:04Marry?
01:01:05What marriage?
01:01:06Vivian didn't explain
01:01:07She smiled at me
01:01:08Soft and pitiful
01:01:10Why not keep one?
01:01:11She looks so sad
01:01:12Not one of them moved toward me
01:01:14Between us, I am never the one chosen
01:01:16We both made peace with that long ago
01:01:18Then I lifted my chin
01:01:19Where is he?
01:01:20Vivian paused
01:01:21Then called toward the hall
01:01:22Come inside
01:01:24Heavy footsteps crossed the floor
01:01:26A tall man stepped into the light
01:01:28He stood tall
01:01:29His expression cold
01:01:30Then his dark eyes locked onto mine
01:01:34I held his cold stare
01:01:35And made myself speak
01:01:37Hello
01:01:39He looked down at me without a word
01:01:41His gaze was heavy
01:01:42Dark
01:01:43And reptile cold
01:01:44He did not answer me at all
01:01:47Goosebumps spread down both my arms
01:01:49That's just how he is
01:01:50Can't stand him
01:01:51I'll take him back
01:01:52Wait
01:01:53Who is this guy?
01:01:55The driver is waiting downstairs
01:01:57Let's go
01:01:58She didn't explain
01:01:59And I couldn't either
01:02:02The three wolves went quiet

01:02:06They were gone
01:02:07The snake stayed behind without a word

01:02:12Deuce turned and looked back at me
01:02:14His eyes gave nothing away
01:02:16Then the man beside me changed
01:02:18His dark pupils narrowed into cold slits
01:02:20A slick tail shot around my waist
01:02:22A strange, heavy scent burst through the room
01:02:25It filled my lungs and made me dizzy
01:02:27I shoved at his chest, but he didn't move
01:02:29You...
01:02:30You're going into rut!
01:02:31He tugged at his collar, breathing hard
01:02:33So hot
01:02:34He pulled his shirt open at the throat
01:02:36Hold on
01:02:36Let me get you a suppressor
01:02:38He caught my wrist before I could turn
01:02:39Don't go

01:02:56Hot breath spilled across the back of my neck
01:02:58I could not break free of his hold
01:03:02Then a fist pounded on the door
01:03:04Cora?
01:03:04What's wrong in there?
01:03:16My sister Vivian always wants more in bed
01:03:20But her partner is a snake

01:04:42We're done
01:04:43Vivian takes you this afternoon
01:04:45He went still
01:04:46At the door
01:04:47Deuce and Trey froze too
01:04:49Which two of us?
01:04:50They thought I was keeping one
01:04:51All three of you
01:04:57Three months ago
01:04:58None of this had happened
01:04:59It started on a cold, rainy night
01:05:02Three wolves lay bleeding on the wet concrete
01:05:05I almost walked right past them
01:05:07Then one weak tail curled around my ankle
01:05:11I couldn't leave them there
01:05:12So I carried all three of them home
01:05:17They healed fast under my care
01:05:21Then their growth phase hit
01:05:24One by one
01:05:25They shifted into men
01:05:37I called the shifter shelter to give them up
01:05:39They've imprinted on you
01:05:41Abandoning them now would traumatize them
01:05:46Three pairs of eyes watched me and waited
01:05:49I didn't have the heart
01:05:51So I kept them
01:05:53I named them Ace, Deuce, and Trey
01:05:57From oldest to youngest
01:06:02Back then they adored me
01:06:05They trailed me from room to room
01:06:08Their hands were always on me
01:06:18Then my sister called with the family's orders
01:06:21When are you coming home to marry him?
01:06:24My family found me a husband for the money
01:06:29He was old and ugly
01:06:32I refused him
01:06:35So they cut off my income
01:06:39They would never force Vivian to marry him
01:06:42All the pressure fell on me instead
01:06:47That guy buried three wives
01:06:48And he's ugly
01:06:51But his family is rich
01:06:54Deuce pulled me close and kissed my hair
01:06:57You sound upset
01:06:59Just hang up on her
01:07:02Vivian caught his voice through the phone
01:07:04Who was that?
01:07:05His voice is gorgeous
01:07:06Just three strays I took in
01:07:08Strays?
01:07:09I have to see them
01:07:10I'm coming tomorrow
01:07:15I should have said no
01:07:18The next day she walked through my door
01:07:20All three wolves turned to look at her
01:07:22And not one of them looked away
01:07:24I had seen that look before
01:07:25It had never once been aimed at me
01:07:31Vivian stepped inside in a white dress
01:07:36She drew every eyes in the room
01:07:40Surprise!
01:07:40I just had to meet your strays
01:07:42I turned to watch the wolves
01:07:44All three of them only watched her
01:07:46I had lived this a hundred times
01:07:48Everyone always wants Vivian
01:07:49She is bright and easy to love
01:07:51Next to her
01:07:52I am plain and quiet
01:07:54So I turned away and said nothing
01:07:56Your place is nothing like the family mansion
01:07:59Is there even room for them here?
01:08:02They manage fine
01:08:03Then I saw it happen
01:08:05Ace never cared about anything
01:08:06Now he stared at her
01:08:08Deuce gave her his warmest smile
01:08:10Even hot-tempered Trey watched her
01:08:12Ears twitching
01:08:13Deuce peeled an apple and handed her a slice
01:08:16Here, the sweetest part is yours
01:08:20Ace refilled her water before the glass ran low
01:08:24You three are so sweet
01:08:26They had never once done that for me
01:08:29She sat there sweet
01:08:30And oblivious to it all
01:08:32That was the moment I knew
01:08:34My things were about to become hers once more
01:08:37After she left
01:08:38Everything changed
01:08:39The soft nights were over
01:08:41They took me harder and colder each time
01:08:44Some nights I thought they wanted me dead
01:08:45I finally understood what they were doing
01:08:48One look at Vivian had been enough
01:08:50They wanted her
01:08:51And I was in the way
01:08:52So they would wear me down to nothing
01:08:54Then I would hand them to my sister
01:08:55But I heard them first
01:08:57And I had a plan of my own
01:08:58Hello
01:09:00By afternoon
01:09:01The apartment had gone dead quiet
01:09:04Then someone knocked
01:09:06Vivian was here
01:09:08Ace laying on the wall
01:09:09And stared me down
01:09:12You're really handing all three of us to her?
01:09:16I nodded
01:09:17You won't even keep one of us?
01:09:21Which one of you wants to stay with me?
01:09:23The room went still
01:09:24No one said a word
01:09:25That was my answer
01:09:27Trey rolled his eyes and went to the door
01:09:30Drop the wounded act, all of you
01:09:33He opened it
01:09:37Vivian beamed at them
01:09:39Hi boys
01:09:40My sister told you, right?
01:09:42You're all mine now
01:09:43Trey leaned right into her
01:09:45Hello, my new master
01:09:49Don't pack a thing
01:09:50I'll buy you everything at the mansion
01:09:52Ace gave a lazy hum
01:09:55Deuce glanced at her
01:09:56Then at me
01:09:57I kept my face blank
01:09:59Relax
01:10:01I'll treat them better than you ever could
01:10:02Vivian came over and patted my arm
01:10:04Have your fun
01:10:05Then come home and marry him
01:10:06Marry?
01:10:07What marriage?
01:10:08Vivian didn't explain
01:10:09She smiled at me
01:10:10Soft and pitiful
01:10:12Why not keep one?
01:10:13She looks so sad
01:10:14Not one of them moved toward me
01:10:16Between us, I am never the one chosen
01:10:18We both made peace with that long ago
01:10:20Then I lifted my chin
01:10:21Where is he?
01:10:22Vivian paused
01:10:23Then called toward the hall
01:10:24Come inside
01:10:26Heavy footsteps crossed the floor
01:10:28A tall man stepped into the light
01:10:30He stood tall
01:10:31His expression cold
01:10:32Then his dark eyes locked onto mine
01:10:36I held his cold stare and made myself speak
01:10:39Hello
01:10:41He looked down at me without a word
01:10:43His gaze was heavy, dark, and reptile cold
01:10:46He did not answer me at all
01:10:49Goosebumps spread down both my arms
01:10:51That's just how he is
01:10:52Can't stand him, I'll take him back
01:10:54Wait, who is this guy?
01:10:57The driver is waiting downstairs
01:10:59Let's go
01:11:00She didn't explain
01:11:02And I couldn't either
01:11:04The three wolves went quiet and followed her out
01:11:06Just like that, they were gone
01:11:09The snake stayed behind without a word
01:11:11I reached out to close the door
01:11:14Deuce turned and looked back at me
01:11:16His eyes gave nothing away
01:11:18Then the man beside me changed
01:11:20His dark pupils narrowed into cold slits
01:11:22A slick tail shot around my waist
01:11:24A strange, heavy scent burst through the room
01:11:27It filled my lungs and made me dizzy
01:11:29I shoved at his chest, but he didn't move
01:11:31You... you're going into rut!
01:11:33He tugged at his collar, breathing hard
01:11:35So hot
01:11:36He pulled his shirt open at the throat
01:11:38Hold on, let me get you a suppressor
01:11:40He caught my wrist before I could turn
01:11:41Don't go
01:11:42He pressed my palm flat against his bare chest
01:11:44His skin was hot, and his heart pounded under it
01:11:47This helps
01:11:47Stay like this
01:11:48Heat rushed straight to my face
01:11:50Then, what do you want me to do?
01:11:52He pinned me back against the door
01:11:55His tail caught me so it didn't hurt
01:11:58Hot breath spilled across the back of my neck
01:12:00I could not break free of his hold
01:12:04Then a fist pounded on the door
01:12:06Cora, what's wrong in there?
01:12:18My sister Vivian always wants more in bed
01:12:22But her partner is a snake
01:12:24He stays cold
01:12:26My partners are three wolves
01:12:29Every night they wear me down to nothing
01:12:31But none of them wants me
01:12:33The one they want is Vivian
01:12:34So I offered her a swap
01:12:37My wolves had me all night
01:12:39Then I blacked out
01:12:41But I came to before they noticed
01:12:44Voices drifted in from the living room
01:12:47That soft little body, no stamina at all
01:12:50She really thinks she can keep all three of us?
01:12:53Give it time
01:12:55Once she breaks
01:12:56She'll hand us to her sister
01:12:58She can barely breathe
01:12:59A few more nights, she's done
01:13:01An hour ago I had cried in their arms
01:13:04They called that week
01:13:06I was done crying
01:13:08I reached for my phone and called Vivian
01:13:12What's wrong?
01:13:13You said you were pent up, right?
01:13:14Take all three wolves
01:13:15Give me your snake
01:13:16Wait, really?
01:13:17They're okay with it?
01:13:18They like you
01:13:19A lot
01:13:20She didn't argue
01:13:21Everyone likes her more
01:13:23It has always been true
01:13:25Fine, my place is bigger anyway
01:13:26But my snake is cold
01:13:27He won't touch you
01:13:28Good, I'm too wrecked to want more
01:13:30He can just handle the chores
01:13:31I'll come this afternoon
01:13:33The door opened the second she hung up
01:13:35Ace stood there
01:13:37His eyes heavy and half closed
01:13:38He reached for my blanket
01:13:41Wait
01:13:42Not done resting, Master?
01:13:44We're done
01:13:45Vivian takes you this afternoon
01:13:47He went still
01:13:48At the door
01:13:49Deuce and Trey froze too
01:13:51Which two of us?
01:13:52They thought I was keeping one

01:21:08Cora?
01:21:08What's wrong in there?
01:21:09Okay
01:21:15What do you want me to do?
01:21:15To be a copy of my neck
01:21:15What do you want me to do?
01:21:21You know
01:21:21You know
