Short filmTranscript
00:03I married the Black Dragon Commander.
00:06We were said to be 100% compatible, though he was forced into it.
00:11For two years, he never interested in me.
00:14Are we doing this or not? I have matters to attend to.
00:20Let's not. You go ahead.
00:22Are you sure?
00:23Absolutely sure.
00:24He studied me. He put on his military uniform.
00:27As soon as he left, I dialed the Covenant.
00:35What is going on?
00:36We apologize, Ms. Lyra.
00:38Database upgrade revealed a matching error.
00:40Commander Kalen is not your true soulmate.
00:44We've been married for two years, and you're only telling me now?
00:47We're sorry. He still has an 80% compatibility with you.
00:50Theoretically, your marriage shouldn't be affected.
00:52You said theoretically.
00:54What about in reality?
00:55In reality, your 100% match is someone else.
01:00Who?
01:01We're retrieving the corrupted file.
01:03Has Kalen been notified?
01:05Not yet. He blocked us.
01:07Yeah, Kalen loathed for assigning him a human wife.
01:10Don't tell him yet. I'll handle it.
01:13We are counting on you, Lyra.
01:14This was a dragon-ruled kingdom.
01:17Kalen was its all-powerful High Commander.
01:19I was a human, stranded here five years ago.
01:23When the Bureau found me, I agreed to the match at once.
01:27I wanted his connections to go home.
01:30But Kalen didn't want me.
01:32He only agreed because of the 100% compatibility claim.
01:37I tried everything to win him over, to seduce him.
01:42He hated every move.
01:44I even threatened to call him impotent if he refused.
01:47I'll tell everyone you're frigid.
01:49He endured my touch, cold and resentful.
01:51Until today, the truth came out.
02:08I stopped messaging Kalen after that call.
02:11A week later, he messaged first.
02:14I've sent a physician to check you.
02:16I'm not sick.
02:17The housekeeper said you've been distracted.
02:19You stopped shopping.
02:20Are you well?
02:21I'm fine.
02:23Fine.
02:23Before, I'd boldly say I loved him or wanted him.
02:28Now I said nothing.
02:30Kalen typed long, then sent.
02:34I'm coming home tomorrow.
02:38So soon?
02:39No need to rush.
02:40I'm fine.
02:41Focus on your duty.
02:42The kingdom needs you.
02:43Don't worry about us.
02:47Kalen didn't reply.
02:49Half an hour later, he walked in.
02:51He looked like he'd raced through a storm to get to me.
02:55He didn't even take off his uniform.
02:57He pressed his hand to my forehead.
02:59Temperature on normal.
03:00Breathing normal.
03:01Scent normal.
03:03You're not sick?
03:05I keep telling you I'm fine.
03:07Then why have you stopped going out?
03:09Your favorite brand drops new parses every Monday.
03:12You used to come home loaded with bags.
03:15Trying to save you some money.
03:16Whatever you spend, I can earn back.
03:18We didn't marry for me to Prince Penny.
03:20I couldn't tell him that we would be divorced soon enough.
03:24In the silence, Kalen swept me into his arms toward the bedroom.
03:28You always wanted me to wear this uniform while we do something.
03:31Let's do it today.
03:32Just this once.
03:34No!
03:34No!
03:35You must be exhausted from work.
03:38I'd be a beast if I jumped all over you the minute you walked through the door.
03:41You rest.
03:41I'm not that thirsty.
03:42I'll cook for you.
03:43I scurried to the kitchen.
03:45Glancing back, I saw Kalen standing still.
03:49His expression lost.
03:51A moment later, he followed me to the kitchen.
03:54An urgent matter arose.
03:56I have to go back.
03:58Go ahead.
03:59I'll return as soon as I'm done.
04:02Don't rush.
04:03Handle your duties.
04:04Since you're cooking yourself, I have to enjoy this meal.
04:10Shall I make it and bring it over?
04:13You're...
04:13You're always running back and forth.
04:15It's too much.
04:17Very well.
04:19I intended it as an excuse, but he accepted.
04:22Was he not feeling well?
04:23As he left, I handed the cooking to the chef.
04:27When the meal was ready, I headed to headquarters.
04:30The building was massive.
04:33Radiating the same suffocating pressure as Kalen.
04:37Meet me at the old spot.
04:38Send your adjunct in to pick this up.
04:41Come inside.
04:43I've authorized your entry.
04:45Isn't that wrong?
04:46This is top secret.
04:48No outsiders allowed in.
04:50It's fine.
04:50No one will dare stop you.
04:52I usually wait at the gate.
04:58Just come in.
04:59Perhaps I was mistaken, but his voice sounded softer.
05:03I braced myself and walked in.
05:06Every eye in the building turned to me.
05:09The draconic guards were in their element here.
05:12A human in these halls was an anomaly.
05:15Hey, how did you get in?
05:16Are the guards slacking?
05:17Upon learning I was Kalen's wife,
05:19they peered at me with contempt.
05:23Just her?
05:24I caught their disdain.
05:26Kalen's marriage was clearly a joke to them.
05:31Fine, you were supposed to eat with me.
05:33How could you forget again?
05:35Sorry, I got caught up at work.
05:36What kind of excuse is that?
05:38It was Isolde, a lovely siren,
05:41whose real shape is a nightingale.
05:43That if not for the 100% match,
05:47she would have been his partner.
05:48Kalen was listening to Isolde's tantrum
05:51when his nostrils flared.
05:56You're here.
05:59I must clarify,
06:00the situation isn't what you think.
06:02My apologies.
06:03I'll leave you to it.
06:04I'm off.
06:06Kalen, if you're busy,
06:07don't worry about coming home tonight.
06:08I won't leave the lights on.
06:15The data is still being restored,
06:17but he definitely has one.
06:18Understood.
06:19I think I know who it is.
06:20Fix it faster.
06:21Your efficiency is a disaster.
06:23Can't you work overtime?
06:24Miss Lyra,
06:25your data restoration is almost complete.
06:27I will send your 100% matches info immediately.
06:30Fine.
06:33I spent the evening in solitary bliss.
06:36Unexpectedly,
06:37Kalen returned.
06:40Why are you back?
06:44This is my home.
06:45Can't I come home?
06:46I didn't mean that.
06:49Lyra,
06:50there's nothing between Islot and me.
06:51It was never like that.
06:53She's just a comrade.
06:55Today's her birthday.
06:56She invited me,
06:57and I thought it was a group dinner.
06:58I lost track of time,
06:59so she came looking for me.
07:01It's no big deal.
07:03You stood her up.
07:04Did you apologize properly?
07:05I don't know her,
07:06but girls are all the same.
07:08Just sweet talk her.
07:09She'll get over it.
07:10Are you like that too?
07:13I don't need cattling.
07:15I'm fine.
07:24Wait.
07:25The protection.
07:26What?
07:29A condom.
07:31When did you buy this?
07:32Today.
07:33Why?
07:35Haven't you always wanted a child?
07:37I've changed my mind.
07:38I'm young.
07:39Let's wait.
07:40You've been truly weird lately.
07:43Have I?
07:44Yes.
07:46You used to make the first move every time.
07:48But tonight,
07:49no matter how I kissed you,
07:51you just shut down.
07:52You used to call me my love non-stop.
07:55Bug me at work.
07:56Tease me about my muscles.
07:58Now you only use my name.
08:00What's going on with you?
08:01I want a divorce.
08:04What?
08:05Why?
08:06I don't think we're right for each other.
08:09Our status,
08:10our backgrounds,
08:11they just don't match.
08:14The compatibility bond says we're perfect together.
08:16But compatibility isn't absolute.
08:19It's just data.
08:20And when we are real people,
08:22you and I can't just settle for some number.
08:24Settle?
08:27So, that's how you see it?
08:29His eyes darkened right away.
08:31The draconic horns that had started to show
08:34slowly retreated.
08:36Kaelin stood up and started getting dressed.
08:38I need some space.
08:39He left for the balcony without another word.
08:42Under the moonlight,
08:43he had forgotten to retract the tail.
08:45It hung loose behind.
08:47When I was young,
08:48I had a dog.
08:50When it was happy,
08:51its tail would wag.
08:52When it was sad,
08:53it would hang,
08:54just like that.
08:55Kaelin was miserable.
08:57Perhaps the divorce request was too sudden.
09:00For a high commander,
09:01a perfect, stable marriage
09:03was part of his prestige.
09:05Suddenly ending it
09:06would bring a torrent of political pressure.
09:08When Kaelin returned,
09:09he asked again,
09:11Are you sure you want a divorce?
09:13Yes.
09:14But no rush.
09:15I'll go along with whatever you arrange.
09:18It'll take some time, true.
09:20My father's birthday dinner is in a few days.
09:23Come with me.
09:24Don't upset him.
09:25We'll talk about everything else after.
09:27That's fine.
09:28I can do that.
09:29So,
09:31everything you said before,
09:32was it all a lie?
09:34What?
09:35I didn't hear that.
09:37Nothing.
09:38Go to sleep.
09:39Good night.
09:39He turned and walked out of the bedroom.
09:41The Covenant sent over the data on my real match.
09:44Like me,
09:45he was human.
09:46His name was Dorian,
09:48a young, genius scientist.
09:50He was nearly Kaelin's height and build.
09:53In this world of powerful beast men,
09:55he earned his high status and fortune with his brilliant mind alone.
10:00The file had his contact info,
10:02which meant he already knew I existed.
10:05They only leave their details if one side is willing to recognize the other.
10:09But I didn't reach out to Dorian.
10:11I was still Kaelin's wife.
10:13I didn't want to make things messy.
10:16Besides,
10:16I would eventually return to my own world.
10:19No need to write more tragedy into my story.
10:22On the weekend,
10:24Kaelin came to pick me up for the banquet.
10:26You'll have to put up with some things today.
10:29We have to act like we're deeply in love.
10:32Don't worry.
10:33My eyes will be only for you.
10:35One more thing.
10:37My brother's coming back.
10:39You have a brother?
10:41Why have you never mentioned him?
10:43He's my half-brother.
10:45My mother's son from her first marriage.
10:47He's human.
10:49Human?
10:50We reached the estate.
10:52His father had been a powerful figure,
10:54and the banquet was filled with high society.
10:58I held on to Kaelin's arm,
11:00ignoring all the stares.
11:02Kaelin,
11:02is this your 100% match?
11:06What does a perfect bond feel like?
11:09Tell us.
11:10Right.
11:1170% is already rare enough.
11:13I'd rather not say.
11:15I'd hate to make you jealous.
11:16You're such a tease.
11:18But honestly, we're all envious.
11:21They say,
11:22real soulmates feel something physical the second they meet.
11:25Yeah, a sudden spark.
11:26A racing heart.
11:27Is that what it's like?
11:28It was the first time I'd heard that.
11:31I thought back to the first time I met Kaelin.
11:34None of that had happened.
11:36If he hadn't felt it either,
11:38wouldn't he have figured out the data was wrong?
11:41I looked up at him,
11:43but his face was totally calm.
11:45It's more than that.
11:47It's an overwhelming urge to possess the other or be possessed.
11:51His words trailed off,
11:53and he lowered his head,
11:55watching me.
11:56The banquet began.
11:57The host stepped onto the stage.
12:00I have called you here for an urgent announcement.
12:03My wife passed away long ago.
12:06Before she married me, she had a son.
12:08After she passed away,
12:10her eldest son stayed with his grandmother.
12:12He came to live with us after my mother-in-law died.
12:16All these years later,
12:17we've grown as close as real father and son.
12:20Today, I officially declare him a true member of the family of Ashwarren.
12:25Kaelin seemed to have expected this.
12:28Does this not bother you?
12:31Bother me?
12:32He's human, yet he's to be your brother.
12:35My mother was human.
12:36You are human.
12:38His candor surprised me.
12:40Come, Dorian.
12:41Come meet everyone.
12:42At the sound of his name,
12:43my mind went blank.
12:45The air seemed to shift.
12:47I looked up
12:48and saw him.
12:50Dorian.
12:50My true
12:51100%
12:52match.
12:54Dorian's gaze cut through the crowd,
12:56locking straight onto me.
12:57In that split second,
12:59my heart seized.
13:01Every cell in me screaming to merge with him.
13:04But it was only a flicker.
13:06I was human.
13:08And humans had the will to master their base instincts.
13:12Dorian's eyes fell on my arms,
13:14still entwined with Kaelin's.
13:16His face,
13:17unreadable.
13:18He had control over himself as well.
13:20The patriarch guided Dorian through the crowd
13:23until they reached us.
13:25Three years, brother.
13:27You've grown.
13:27Are you almost 1.9 meters now?
13:29Nearly.
13:301.89.
13:31You locked yourself away for three years for your research
13:34and didn't even come home.
13:35But I am back now.
13:37This is Lyra, my wife.
13:38I invited you to the wedding,
13:40but you were too busy.
13:41My bad.
13:42I'll make it up to you with three drinks.
13:45Fair enough.
13:45I'll drink with you today.
13:47Lyra, you don't mind?
13:48Go ahead.
13:49Don't worry about me.
13:50After a few rounds of wine,
13:52Dorian's faint, ethereal scent
13:54seemed to seep into my bones.
13:56I excused myself to the terrace for air.
13:58The cool breeze cleared my head.
14:01Moments later, footsteps approached.
14:03It was Dorian.
14:05Lyra, may I call you that?
14:08I was always curious why my soulmate never contacted me.
14:11Seeing you now, I understand.
14:13I laughed awkwardly.
14:14The Covenant messed up the data.
14:16I thought I was a perfect match with Kaelin.
14:18I see.
14:19It isn't the first time they've made a mistake.
14:21But Kaelin doesn't know, does he?
14:23We should keep it between us.
14:24He doesn't?
14:26Dorian raised an eyebrow.
14:27I had to admit,
14:29back in my original world,
14:31Dorian would have been my ideal type.
14:33The Covenant is panicking over how to break it to him.
14:38Dorian scoffed.
14:39How incompetent.
14:40Sounds like they've never been crushed
14:42by the grind of a real career.
14:44Exactly.
14:44If I were their boss,
14:45I'd make them work 996 schedules.
14:47At their efficiency,
14:48even 007 wouldn't save them.
14:50Wait.
14:52You know that too?
14:53How could you?
14:55I thought you grew up here.
14:56Maybe I didn't even get here as early as you did.
15:00When did you come here?
15:01Five years ago.
15:02You?
15:03Dorian's polished facade cracked.
15:06A while before that.
15:07His posture relaxing.
15:08How have you been holding up in this draconic hellhole?
15:11It's insane.
15:12I want to go home.
15:13Soon.
15:14What?
15:15The human world and the beastmen world
15:17exist in separate spatial dimensions.
15:19My father brought me here.
15:20I've been doing this research
15:21to find a way to travel between the two realms.
15:24The results are promising.
15:25We should be able to return shortly.
15:28Dorian!
15:28My God!
15:30Are you a saint?
15:31Just a little bit of science.
15:33It's all in the math.
15:34Dorian flashed a hand gesture
15:35from our original world.
15:37Back home,
15:38I was the youngest researcher
15:39published in the journals.
15:41It was you?
15:42I saw your headlines!
15:45I remembered a brilliant young prodigy
15:48whose face was plastered everywhere.
15:51Now,
15:51the pride of the scientific world
15:53sat before me,
15:55plotting our escape.
15:58Lila,
16:00there you are.
16:01Kaelin stepped out of the darkness.
16:03Kaelin's demeanor had shifted
16:04from gentle to icy.
16:06His eyes were the golden slitted pupils
16:09of a black dragon.
16:11He fixed on Dorian with predatory intent.
16:14Dorian didn't flinch.
16:16Lila and I were just reminiscing.
16:17Father is still waiting for you.
16:20Feel free to visit my lab
16:21whenever you like.
16:24Get him away from you.
16:27Kaelin pulled me against him.
16:29His hand gripped
16:30where Dorian had just brushed.
16:32What were you talking about?
16:34You seemed quite happy.
16:37Just some lab work?
16:39His voice was calm.
16:41Are you going to his laboratory?
16:42But the air around them
16:44crackled with tension.
16:46I gritted my teeth,
16:47forcing myself to remain calm.
16:50Perhaps...
16:51It was the first time
16:53I truly felt
16:54the sheer, terrifying power
16:57of the dragon.
16:58He was human-shaped,
17:00yet I could almost feel
17:01his invisible claws
17:03grazing my skin,
17:05marking me as his property.
17:07His possessiveness
17:09had erupted.
17:10I knew it was not love.
17:13Visiting Dorian's laboratory
17:14was non-negotiable.
17:16I needed to see that machine.
17:18My only ticket back
17:19to my own world.
17:20The moment Kaelin left
17:22for his duties
17:22the next morning,
17:23I slipped out.
17:25Dorian walked me
17:26through his research,
17:27his words igniting
17:28a flicker of hope
17:30in my chest.
17:31Time vanished
17:32in that sterile,
17:33alchemical space.
17:35It wasn't until dusk
17:36I realized my phone
17:38was flooded with Kaelin's
17:40missed calls and messages.
17:42Still texting Kaelin?
17:45Yes.
17:46You said he wasn't
17:48exactly warm.
17:49What changed?
17:49Who knows?
17:50Probably the possessiveness
17:51of a dragon in his prime.
17:54Dorian dimmed the lab lights
17:56and we stepped out together.
17:59We ran into Kaelin
18:00the second we reached
18:01the ground floor.
18:02He'd been waiting there
18:03for hours,
18:05his eyes bloodshot.
18:06My scout said you were here.
18:08I didn't want to believe it,
18:09but it's true.
18:11I'm sorry.
18:12I didn't check my phone.
18:19Enough.
18:21Can we go home?
18:23I followed him silently,
18:25my mind still racing
18:26with the schematics
18:27I'd seen.
18:29Laya,
18:29I can't escort you
18:30home today.
18:31What a pity.
18:32Come back tomorrow.
18:32I have more to show you.
18:35Kaelin instantly
18:36went into defensive mode.
18:37She won't be coming back.
18:39That remains to be seen.
18:41Dorian met his murderous gaze
18:43with a faint,
18:45mocking smile.
18:48Kaelin,
18:49you once invited me
18:49to your estate.
18:50I'd love to see
18:51where you and Lyra live.
18:53It's not convenient.
18:55My apologies.
18:55I didn't realize.
18:57I suppose I don't have
18:58a home to visit anymore,
18:59do I?
19:00My parents are gone.
19:02Dorian winked at me,
19:04feigning hurt.
19:05Lyra, babe?
19:06Is he always this stifling?
19:09Is that name yours to use?
19:11The atmosphere
19:12turned explosive.
19:14Kaelin's eyes
19:15shifted into vertical slits.
19:18Just a joke, Kaelin.
19:20With such a possessive grip,
19:22what will you do
19:23if she's stolen away?
19:24That will never happen.
19:26I love Lyra.
19:29And she loves me.
19:31The word love
19:32catching in his throat.
19:34Dorian chuckled.
19:36I envy you.
19:38Though the Covenant told me
19:40I also have
19:41a hundred percent soul match.
19:42His eyes locked on mine.
19:44A clear challenge.
19:46Kaelin stepped forward,
19:47shielding me
19:48with his large armored frame.
19:51Darian,
19:52I would not hesitate
19:53to kill you
19:54right here.
19:55I finally snapped
19:57back to my senses
19:58and tugged
19:59at Kaelin's sleeve.
20:00Let's go home.
20:01We finally dragged
20:02Kaelin away.
20:03Lyra,
20:04you shouldn't have met him
20:05behind my back.
20:08Why?
20:09You are my wife.
20:11Yet you spent
20:12an entire day alone
20:13in a confined space
20:15with another male.
20:16The very air
20:17in the car shifted.
20:18I could feel
20:19his emotional collapse.
20:21He was bordering
20:22on insanity,
20:23trying to suppress
20:24the image of us together.
20:26We're getting a divorce,
20:27aren't we?
20:28We agreed to discuss it
20:29after the banquet.
20:30You really want to leave?
20:32Because of him?
20:34Not because of him.
20:35But I have my reasons.
20:37I had only wanted
20:38a divorce
20:38because of the data error.
20:40Now,
20:41I wanted to go home.
20:43If he didn't love me,
20:44I should free him
20:45before I vanished.
20:47Kaelin fell silent.
20:48I thought he was already
20:49drawing up
20:50the divorce papers.
20:51But the moment
20:52we got home,
20:53he pushed me
20:54into the bathroom.
20:56What are you doing?
20:58A bath.
21:00No covet of his scent.
21:02It has to be washed off.
21:04These clothes
21:05are going too.
21:06I can do it myself.
21:08No.
21:10I can't trust
21:11anyone but myself.
21:12Kaelin scrubbed me
21:13with obsessive force,
21:15the shower soaking
21:16his dress shirt.
21:17He was losing control.
21:19His pupils
21:20were fully draconic.
21:21The heat radiating
21:23from him
21:23meant he'd entered
21:24his mating rut early,
21:26all because of jealousy.
21:28When we finished,
21:29he tossed a set
21:30of clothes at me.
21:31It was the exact set
21:32I'd planned to wear
21:33to seduce him
21:34the day the data changed.
21:36He forced me into them
21:37without a word.
21:38I had underestimated
21:40the terrifying power
21:41of a dragon in rut.
21:46I tried to push him away.
21:51Go change yourself.
21:53Kaelin left,
21:54only to return
21:55in his crisp,
21:57forbidden military uniform
21:58as he dragged me back
22:00into the abyss.
22:12You're hiding something
22:14from me.
22:24Hot tears
22:26landing on my skin.
22:36You were so happy
22:37talking to him.
22:40Will you be with him
22:41after the divorce?
22:45Can we...
22:46Can we not get divorced?
22:48The night ended
22:49with me passing out.
22:51The night ended
22:52in my unconsciousness.
22:54When I woke,
22:55Kaelin was still there,
22:56kneeling to help me
22:57pull on my stockings.
22:58My lower back ached,
23:00and the air was thick
23:02with the shame
23:03and ecstasy
23:04of the night before.
23:05I was about to speak
23:07when his phone buzzed.
23:08The voice of his adjutant
23:10came through.
23:11Commander,
23:12there's a complication.
23:13Keep it under control.
23:15I'm on my way back.
23:16No, sir.
23:17It's about your
23:18compatibility report.
23:19Kaelin finally
23:20obtained the report.
23:22He crushed
23:22the two sheets of paper
23:24in his grip,
23:25his dragon fire
23:26flickering in his eyes.
23:28The Covenant's headquarters
23:29had been purged.
23:30The staff stood
23:32like trembling quail.
23:34Twenty minutes ago,
23:35Kaelin's data
23:36had been fully restored.
23:38An intern had sent
23:39the report
23:40to his adjutant.
23:41The secret
23:42the Covenant
23:43had fought
23:43to bury
23:44was now laid bare.
23:46I was Kaelin's
23:48100% match,
23:50but he was only
23:5280% to me.
23:54Simultaneously,
23:55Kaelin saw my report.
23:57It clearly stated
23:59my perfect match
24:00was Dorian.
24:01The elder director
24:02sat in his chair,
24:04sweating profusely.
24:06Commander,
24:07the fault
24:08is mine alone.
24:10I'll pull my own
24:11life support plug
24:12if that buys
24:13your forgiveness.
24:14Kaelin stared at him.
24:15Don't touch the plug.
24:17I have questions.
24:18Anything, sir.
24:20Where do I fall short
24:21in those 20%?
24:22The room
24:22fell into an eerie silence.
24:24No one had expected
24:26him to be so
24:27clinical.
24:27Must I say it?
24:28It has to do
24:30with your private biology.
24:32Speak.
24:36Our comparative analysis
24:37suggests that for Lyra,
24:39your physical constitution
24:40is simply too
24:42overwhelming.
24:43Meaning?
24:44If you were to release
24:45your full draconic potential
24:46in terms of size
24:47and stamina,
24:48Lyra simply cannot
24:49withstand it.
24:50Last night,
24:52blinded by jealousy,
24:53he had lost
24:54all restraint.
24:55I hadn't just
24:57fallen asleep.
24:58I had blacked out.
25:00Anything else?
25:01Nothing.
25:03That is
25:04the only discrepancy
25:05that lowered
25:06the score to 80%.
25:09And him?
25:10How does he reach
25:11100%?
25:13Besides,
25:14that?
25:16I have never
25:17seen such an anomaly.
25:19It seems,
25:20it seems,
25:23he and Lyra
25:24share a near-identical
25:25genetical sequence.
25:26They originated
25:26from the same realm.
25:28That is the true source
25:29of the 100% match.
25:30Are they blood-related?
25:33No, no.
25:34You misunderstand.
25:35They simply share
25:36the same origin.
25:37Kalen turned his gaze
25:38to me.
25:39My mind raced,
25:41readying an excuse
25:42about being
25:43hometown friends
25:44with Dorian.
25:45But he asked
25:46nothing.
25:51Back home,
25:53Kalen sat on the balcony,
25:54brooding in the dark.
25:58So this is why
25:59you asked for a divorce?
26:00Because you found
26:01a human with
26:02a higher compatibility?
26:03I walked over,
26:05trying to laugh it off.
26:0680% is still high,
26:08isn't it?
26:09Don't be so grum.
26:11He paused,
26:12then added,
26:13I'm sorry.
26:15What are you
26:15apologizing for?
26:17I was too rough
26:18last night,
26:19wasn't I?
26:20Were you hurt?
26:21A little,
26:23but it was okay.
26:25You looked
26:26magnificent
26:27when you lost control.
26:30I'll be more careful
26:31from now on.
26:32If you're still willing
26:34to have a future with me.
26:36If you aren't,
26:37I will respect it.
26:39Even though
26:40it is torture,
26:42I will learn
26:42to restrain my beast.
26:43I couldn't help it.
26:45I leaned down
26:45and kissed his ears.
26:46The fool's at the covenant.
26:48Our compatibility
26:49is 100%.
26:50I know it.
26:52The moment I saw you,
26:54my heart resonated,
26:56my blood roared.
26:57Beyond the data,
26:59my beast and my soul
27:00recognized you first.
27:01If you felt that,
27:03why have you always
27:04been so cold?
27:05I am sorry,
27:07Lyra.
27:07There is a reason.
27:09I will take you somewhere.
27:11Perhaps then,
27:12you will understand.
27:14Kaylin brought me
27:14to a cemetery.
27:15After her first husband
27:17passed,
27:17she was left to roam
27:18the streets with her son,
27:19Dorian,
27:20until she met my father.
27:22My father was a
27:23high-ranking official
27:24in the draconic treasury.
27:26He was a fool for love.
27:27He stopped before a grave.
27:29The woman in the photo
27:30had a gentle,
27:31haunting smile.
27:33He defied the entire
27:34king to shower my mother
27:35with everything.
27:36I never saw a love
27:37like theirs.
27:39Even when the blood test
27:40results showed,
27:41they were only 80%
27:41compatible.
27:42In his eyes,
27:43they were 100%.
27:45But my mother was human,
27:47so fragile.
27:48I stood,
27:49paralyzed.
27:50I couldn't imagine
27:51the abyss of grief
27:53his father must have
27:54fallen into.
27:55My father nearly
27:55took his own life,
27:56but he saw Dorian in me,
27:58and for our sake,
27:59he kept going.
28:00Kaylin turned to me.
28:02When my own blood
28:03compatibility results
28:04came in,
28:04I vowed never to let
28:05my mother's fate
28:06befall you.
28:07A realization hit me.
28:09So that's why
28:10you kept me away
28:10from headquarters,
28:11and avoided
28:12public outings?
28:13Yes.
28:15My position is even
28:16more dangerous
28:17than his was.
28:18This was the only way
28:19to keep you safe.
28:20And why blacklist
28:21the covenant?
28:22Lila,
28:23we don't have to
28:23talk about this.
28:25I want you to know
28:26that I'm here for you.
28:29No matter what.
28:32I just...
28:32I don't know how
28:34to feel about
28:34all of this.
28:36You need to be careful.
28:40If I fully unleashed
28:41my dragon soul
28:42and merged with you,
28:43every inch of my skin
28:44would be etched
28:45with your scent.
28:45It would be an invitation
28:47to my enemies
28:47to destroy you.
28:49I had to hold back.
28:51The sight
28:51shattered my heart.
28:54I am sorry.
28:56What for?
28:57For letting you
28:58misunderstand.
29:00Truly,
29:00I am sorry.
29:01No,
29:02I am the one
29:02at fault.
29:03The 80% confession
29:04felt so small now.
29:06I hugged him tightly.
29:08Kaylin bent
29:09to kiss me.
29:10In that moment,
29:11I didn't care
29:12about the data
29:13or the destiny.
29:14He was my heart
29:16and he
29:17was my instinct.
29:20It was time
29:21to return home.
29:22A week later,
29:23he told me
29:23it was time
29:24to return home.
29:25The news struck me
29:26with a strange,
29:28sudden vertigo.
29:29Looking at our
29:30wedding portrait
29:31on the bedside table,
29:32I felt a flicker
29:34of grief.
29:34Faye,
29:35where are you?
29:35I'm packing.
29:36What time
29:37for the experiment?
29:38I replied to Dorian.
29:39I didn't have
29:40much to pack,
29:41but I needed
29:42to leave Kaylin
29:43a note.
29:43It took me
29:4430 minutes.
29:46Dorian didn't
29:46reply during that time.
29:48I didn't think
29:49much of it.
29:50Finished.
29:51I donned
29:51the clothes.
29:52I stepped out,
29:54feeling strangely
29:55light.
29:56Midway,
29:57my phone buzzed.
29:58It was Kaylin's
29:59adjutant.
29:59Mistress,
30:00can you hear me?
30:01Where are you?
30:02I'm at the
30:03central plaza.
30:04What's wrong?
30:04You're safe.
30:05Of course I am.
30:07Damn it.
30:07What happened?
30:08He just got a video
30:09saying you were kidnapped.
30:10He went to the rendezvous plane.
30:11If you're not there,
30:12it's a setup to kill him.
30:13Damn it.
30:13Why didn't he call me
30:14to verify?
30:15The comms were jammed,
30:16mistress.
30:17There was no time
30:17to head home.
30:18He had to save you first.
30:20I've been trying to reach you
30:21until this whole time.
30:22A step forward
30:23led to the path home,
30:25but behind me
30:26lay the life of a man
30:28whose heart
30:28beat for mine.
30:30Like the moment I accepted
30:32this destiny
30:33five years ago,
30:34I made my choice.
30:36Send me Kaylin's coordinates.
30:38When I reached the abandoned factory,
30:40I thought again of the first dog
30:41I ever owned.
30:42People always favor
30:43their first companion.
30:45Even if I knew
30:46other breeds
30:47were more beautiful
30:47or better suited to me,
30:49I couldn't forget him.
30:51Kaylin was the same.
30:52He was the first
30:53to look at me
30:54with those vulnerable
30:55draconic eyes.
30:57The factory was a labyrinth.
30:59I closed my eyes,
31:00tapping into the 80% bond,
31:03praying for its guidance.
31:04In an instant,
31:06every cell in my body
31:07seemed to awaken.
31:09I felt the draconic instinct
31:11within my own blood,
31:12sharpening my perception.
31:14I navigated past
31:15the rebel patrols
31:16and found Kaylin
31:17in the warehouse.
31:18He was holding them off alone.
31:20Lyra, you're safe.
31:22Thank the gods.
31:23He pulled me into his arms.
31:25Since you're safe,
31:25you should have stayed home.
31:27You shouldn't have come.
31:28If I hadn't,
31:28would you have kept charging
31:29into deathtraps for me?
31:31Kaylin's lips thinned.
31:32He didn't deny it.
31:34I'd made the right choice.
31:35Suddenly,
31:36an explosion shook the wall.
31:38Old model automatons
31:40marched out of the dark,
31:42detonated one by one.
31:44I saw a figure in the shadows,
31:46Dorian.
31:47Reinforcements,
31:48Kaylin said.
31:49Dorian is your way out.
31:51This is where our mother
31:52once worked,
31:52to designing these machines.
31:54He grew up here.
31:55He knows every circuit.
31:56He's creating a diversion.
31:58When did you plan this?
32:00There was no plan.
32:01Kaylin shook his head.
32:03I only told him
32:03we were trapped
32:04when the signals cut.
32:05Dorian is brilliant.
32:06He knew what to do.
32:07Dorian ran to the window
32:08and unfurled
32:09a portable emergency cushion.
32:11Of course he did.
32:12Go.
32:13Find Dorian.
32:14Let him take you home.
32:15Now, Lyra.
32:16Kaylin shoved me toward him.
32:18I froze.
32:19How did you know?
32:21If I couldn't figure
32:22even that out,
32:23I wouldn't be High Commander.
32:25Kaylin smiled.
32:26Come with us!
32:27I have my duties.
32:28I grabbed his arm.
32:30This kingdom,
32:30these people,
32:31they need me.
32:32Kaylin cupped my face.
32:34I'm glad you came for me, Lyra.
32:36But your safety
32:37is all that matters.
32:38He shoved me
32:39into Dorian's arms.
32:40The fire roared to life
32:42behind us
32:43the last time I saw him.
32:45I've been back
32:45in my own world
32:46for a month.
32:47I often sit on the balcony
32:48staring into the distance.
32:51Still worried about him?
32:53Yes.
32:55We left
32:56and the reinforcements
32:57arrived in time.
32:59You have to trust him, Lyra.
33:00He didn't climb to his rank
33:01through bloodlines.
33:02He paved his way
33:03with dragon fire.
33:05I know.
33:06But how can I not worry?
33:08He fought his own instincts
33:10just to send me away to you.
33:11So I'll fight mine too
33:13and hold on to my feelings
33:14for him.
33:16Have dinner with my parents tomorrow.
33:19Don't let them think
33:19I'm starving the mother
33:20of this child.
33:22Doran,
33:22are you angry?
33:24Why would you ask that?
33:28I married you
33:29so this child
33:29would have a name.
33:31It's not fair to you.
33:32It isn't.
33:34I'm a genius
33:34and you're just using me
33:36for this.
33:37But since I'm your
33:38100% match,
33:39I'm happy to oblige.
33:41Besides,
33:42he saved your life.
33:44He was Kaylin's child.
33:46When I discovered
33:47I was pregnant,
33:48I finally understood
33:49why I'd gained
33:50those vraconic senses.
33:52Dorian was a good man,
33:54balancing his research
33:55with fetal education.
33:57My pregnancy
33:58was seamless.
33:58I felt stronger
34:00every day.
34:01Seven months in,
34:02I went hiking.
34:04I walked too fast,
34:06losing the group
34:06in the dense woods.
34:08A massive python
34:09slithered from the grass.
34:11But then,
34:12the python stopped,
34:14then scrambled back
34:16into the dark.
34:17A familiar scent
34:18drifted on the wind,
34:20my heart hammering
34:21a rhythm I recognized.
34:23I turned around.
34:26I'm sorry.
34:28I'm late.
