Transcript

00:00:00After my sister Lyra lost her mate, she filed for a new one.

00:00:03By some twist of fate, she got matched with my mate's twin brother.

00:00:07When Rhys found out, he held me the whole night without sleeping.

00:00:10Neither did I.

00:00:11Around 3 a.m., he slipped outside and called his brother.

00:00:15Relax.

00:00:16Lena's stupid.

00:00:17She'll never figure it out.

00:00:20Remember?

00:00:21She mixed us up once before.

00:00:24Lyra hasn't met you either.

00:00:25I switch with you for a few days, she won't notice.

00:00:29Come on.

00:00:30Just one week.

00:00:32I just need...

00:00:33No regrets.

00:00:35Cole, I can't spend my whole life missing her.

00:00:43Just do this one thing for me.

00:00:44Cole finally agreed.

00:00:46The call ended.

00:00:47Rhys stayed outside smoking a menthol down to nothing.

00:00:49Then he came back, sat on the edge of the bed.

00:00:51I pretended to sleep.

00:00:53His tail gently covered my feet.

00:00:54His fingers brushed my hair.

00:00:56This soft version of Rhys only appeared when he thought I was asleep.

00:00:59Most days he was distant.

00:01:00His eyes looked at me like I was a forgery.

00:01:02His real love was my sister.

00:01:04And when I slept, I looked the most like her.

00:01:06His fingers stalled at my brow.

00:01:08Then he leaned down, close to my ear.

00:01:10Like a vow.

00:01:10Barely a sound.

00:01:11Rhys's breath was right there.

00:01:13Warm.

00:01:14Close.

00:01:14I will never betray you.

00:01:16I just love her so much.

00:01:20Lena.

00:01:22Loving someone you can't have when you're young.

00:01:25It hollows you out.

00:01:27It follows you forever.

00:01:29But I don't want to be hollowed out anymore.

00:01:32I want to build something real with you.

00:01:36So I have to see Lyra.

00:01:38Just once.

00:01:39As her bonded mate.

00:01:41I understood.

00:01:43Some things you can only let go of after you've actually had them.

00:01:46He never knew.

00:01:47I felt the exact same way.

00:01:49I had my own regret too.

00:01:52Bonding with Rhys was fate's cruelest joke.

00:01:55He mistook his rescuer and filed the wrong name.

00:01:58I saw one photo and said yes.

00:02:00We met for the first time at registration.

00:02:02The light behind him that day was blinding.

00:02:04The kind that makes everything feel slightly unreal.

00:02:07His tail was wagging until he saw my face.

00:02:09Then it went still.

00:02:11You.

00:02:12Rhys gripped the registration form.

00:02:14Started to say something.

00:02:15Stopped.

00:02:16Rhys stared at me for a long time.

00:02:18But he never got out the one thing he actually wanted to ask.

00:02:22Why is it you?

00:02:23We both knew there was no going back.

00:02:25In this world, there was no divorce.

00:02:27Only death could break the mate bond.

00:02:29So Rhys swallowed it.

00:02:30Paid for his own carelessness with the rest of his life.

00:02:33I accepted it faster than him.

00:02:34Maybe because I was used to not getting what I wanted.

00:02:37Rhys looked just like his brother.

00:02:40Unlike me and Lyra.

00:02:41Photos made us look identical.

00:02:43But in person you could tell us apart immediately.

00:02:45I was shorter.

00:02:46Less of everything she had.

00:02:47That brightness.

00:02:48That ease.

00:02:49I even felt something close to relief.

00:02:51Until our first anniversary.

00:02:52I heard the truth.

00:02:54Nobody mix up Lyra and her plain little sister.

00:02:58Except you, Rhys.

00:03:01You're the sharpest white wolf in the program.

00:03:04How did you mess up something this big?

00:03:06And honestly, Lena's ability is so low she could train 50 years and still not deserve you.

00:03:12I returned from the call to hear his friends complaining on his behalf.

00:03:15Rhys wasn't listening.

00:03:17He sprawled on the couch, flicking his lighter.

00:03:19Eyes low.

00:03:20Flame up.

00:03:20Flame out.

00:03:21Finally, he spoke.

00:03:23Everyone has something they didn't get to keep.

00:03:27We're already registered.

00:03:29What's the point of regretting now?

00:03:30Just making do.

00:03:34Those two words hit me hard.

00:03:35I finally understood why he looked so strange on our registration day.

00:03:38Because I wasn't the one he wanted.

00:03:40Because I was too ordinary.

00:03:41So ordinary that all he could do was laugh it off.

00:03:44The booth lights were loud and hot.

00:03:45I stood outside the door and watched Rhys tilt his head back, drinking.

00:03:49Liquor spilled down his jaw and throat.

00:03:50A faint pink bite mark showed at his collarbone.

00:03:53Mine.

00:03:54Barely visible.

00:03:54You bite your mate hard when passion takes over.

00:03:57Leave a mark.

00:03:57Claim them.

00:03:58Huh.

00:03:59My ability was really that weak.

00:04:00Even when I bit with everything I had, the mark looked like nothing.

00:04:04A nameless irritation rose in my chest.

00:04:07I didn't go back inside.

00:04:08I slipped out to the quiet terrace for air.

00:04:10Leaning on the railing, those words came back.

00:04:12Making do.

00:04:13On our registration day, I'd thought the same thing.

00:04:15Not him?

00:04:16Fine.

00:04:16I could make do with that face.

00:04:18But somewhere along the way, feelings grew.

00:04:20I laughed bitterly at myself and threw my ring off the terrace.

00:04:23Someone caught it midair.

00:04:28You drunk, Lena.

00:04:30Wolf reflexes.

00:04:31The diamond landed safely in my palm.

00:04:32I looked up.

00:04:33I hated how smug it looked.

00:04:35So I walked straight into his arms and grabbed that tail with both hands.

00:04:38He froze.

00:04:39I laughed against his chest, then sighed softly.

00:04:43Rhys.

00:04:45When you're done making do, let's separate.

00:04:49Close call.

00:04:50I almost fell for a stand-in.

00:04:52I tilted my head back and studied his face in the pale moonlight.

00:04:55Rhys really did look that much like him.

00:04:57Especially tonight.

00:04:58The tone.

00:04:59The expressions.

00:05:00Everything felt uncannily familiar.

00:05:02To be fair, I had only met that boy twice.

00:05:04The first time, I was trapped in a hot, airless storage room.

00:05:08A panic attack hit me hard.

00:05:09I couldn't breathe.

00:05:10A boy woke up from the noise.

00:05:12He crawled out from behind some cardboard boxes.

00:05:14Dragging a filthy tail.

00:05:15Cursing quietly.

00:05:16Then he pressed his scarred palm over my mouth and nose.

00:05:19Listen to my heartbeat.

00:05:20He said.

00:05:21He guided me back to normal breathing.

00:05:23Again and again.

00:05:24When I finally calmed down, I asked his name.

00:05:27He grinned.

00:05:27That lazy, unbothered grin.

00:05:30A guy who does good deeds doesn't leave his name.

00:05:34The second time was on my graduation day.

00:05:36I went with Lyra to watch the underground wolf fights.

00:05:39Inside a steel cage stained with blood, I saw him again.

00:05:42The crowd screamed his name.

00:05:44That was his name?

00:05:45I stood frozen at the cage wall, staring into a pair of cold, blood-red eyes.

00:05:50One flicker of recognition crossed his face.

00:05:53Then the drug-crazed hyena seized the chance and tore a chunk of flesh from his body.

00:05:56The wound split open to the bone.

00:05:58The handler beside me kept pitching excitedly.

00:06:00O7 never loses.

00:06:02Even if he's torn apart.

00:06:03Even with punctured organs.

00:06:05As long as he's still breathing, he'll win.

00:06:07Miss, bet everything on O7.

00:06:09You can't lose.

00:06:12How much?

00:06:12I'm not betting.

00:06:13I'm asking how much to buy him.

00:06:16Ow!

00:06:17That was the first time I wanted something so badly.

00:06:19It made me furious.

00:06:21Sweetheart, plenty of women want to buy him.

00:06:23But he's never getting out.

00:06:25He tried to run once.

00:06:27Wolves who get caught only have one fate.

00:06:29Fight until they die.

00:06:30He didn't finish.

00:06:31Lyra, standing with her arms crossed.

00:06:33Come on.

00:06:35You really think that works on her?

00:06:37As long as the money's right, you people will do anything.

00:06:40Name your price.

00:06:41The handler rolled his eyes and threw out an impossibly high number.

00:06:44He thought it would shut me down.

00:06:46I couldn't afford it.

00:06:47But Lyra saw the tears I couldn't hold back.

00:06:49For once, she didn't mock me.

00:06:51I've never seen you want something this badly before.

00:06:53I won the ability championship.

00:06:55The prize pain will hit this card in two months.

00:06:57Consider it something I owe you.

00:06:59Thank you, Lyra.

00:07:01The money wasn't enough.

00:07:02I emptied my savings for the deposit and earned one visit.

00:07:05Only one visit.

00:07:06No exceptions.

00:07:08He lay in an iron cage, a heavy collar and chain around his neck, barely breathing.

00:07:13So quiet, I had to strain to hear it.

00:07:15When I approached, his damaged ears twitched.

00:07:20His blood-matted tail gave a weak, slow wag.

00:07:25I gathered my skirt and crouched in front of him.

00:07:28He lifted his eyes, dark, calm, unreadable.

00:07:31I thought he wouldn't remember me.

00:07:32It had been three years.

00:07:33Then I heard a low laugh.

00:07:34Seven looked at me with that same loose, unbothered smile.

00:07:38He tilted his head.

00:07:38Lina.

00:07:40So that's your name.

00:07:42You looked dazed earlier.

00:07:44But the way you demanded his price?

00:07:46That was impressive.

00:07:48He pushed himself up, still smiling.

00:07:50I felt my face heat up.

00:07:51Then he sighed.

00:07:54But why waste that much money on me?

00:07:56I'm almost dead, Lina.

00:07:57Even I can't promise I'll survive with punctured organs.

00:08:01Honestly, hanging on like this, it's exhausting.

00:08:05You still have time to cancel.

00:08:06Go get your money back.

00:08:08Just hold on two more months.

00:08:11Please.

00:08:13I'll take you home.

00:08:15You'll have a real bed, good food, no more cages, no more bleeding.

00:08:20Okay, okay.

00:08:21I'll make it until the day Lina takes me home.

00:08:24Pinky promise.

00:08:25I reached for his hand.

00:08:26His fingers were broken and crooked.

00:08:27Healed wrong.

00:08:28He hid them behind his back.

00:08:30Penny promise.

00:08:31Cross my heart.

00:08:32I cried so hard that day I could barely see straight.

00:08:35Two weeks later, the fight ring refunded half my deposit and told me,

00:08:39Zero Seven is dead.

00:08:40Refund half your deposit.

00:08:49After my sister Lyra lost her mate, she filed for a new one.

00:08:53By some twist of fate, she got matched with my mate's twin brother.

00:08:56When Reese found out, he held me the whole night without sleeping.

00:09:00Neither did I.

00:09:00Around 3 a.m., he slipped outside and called his brother.

00:09:04Relax.

00:09:05Lina's stupid.

00:09:06She'll never figure it out.

00:09:09Remember?

00:09:10She mixed us up once before.

00:09:13Lyra hasn't met you either.

00:09:15I switch with you for a few days.

00:09:16She won't notice.

00:09:19Come on.

00:09:20Just one week.

00:09:21I just need...

00:09:23No regrets.

00:09:25Cole, I can't spend my whole life missing her.

00:09:32Just do this one thing for me.

00:09:34Cole finally agreed.

00:09:35The call ended.

00:10:03Warm.

00:10:03Close.

00:10:04I will never betray you.

00:10:06I just love her so much.

00:10:10Lena.

00:10:12Loving someone you can't have when you're young.

00:10:15It hollows you out.

00:10:17It follows you forever.

00:10:19But I don't want to be hollowed out anymore.

00:10:22I want to build something real with you.

00:10:26So I have to see Lyra.

00:12:17We're already registered.

00:14:35I stood frozen at the cage wall, staring into a pair of cold, blood red eyes.

00:14:40One flicker of recognition crossed his face.

00:14:42Then the drug-crazed hyena seized the chance and tore a chunk of flesh from his body.

00:14:46The wound split open to the bone.

00:14:48The handler beside me kept pitching excitedly.

00:14:50Oh-7 never loses.

00:14:52Even if he's torn apart.

00:14:53Even with punctured organs.

00:14:55As long as he's still breathing, he'll win.

00:14:57Miss, bet everything on Oh-7.

00:14:59You can't lose.

00:15:01How much?

00:15:02I'm not betting.

00:15:03I'm asking how much to buy him.

00:15:06Help!

00:15:07That was the first time I wanted something so badly.

00:15:09It made me furious.

00:15:11Sweetheart, plenty of women want to buy him.

00:15:13But he's never getting out.

00:15:15He tried to run once.

00:15:17Wolves who get caught only have one fate.

00:15:19Fight until they die.

00:15:20He didn't finish.

00:15:21Lyra, standing with her arms crossed.

00:15:23Come on.

00:15:24You really think that works on her?

00:15:26As long as the money's right, you people will do anything.

00:15:30Name your price.

00:15:31The handler rolled his eyes and threw out an impossibly high number.

00:15:34He thought it would shut me down.

00:15:35I couldn't afford it.

00:15:36But Lyra saw the tears I couldn't hold back.

00:15:39For once, she didn't mock me.

00:15:40I've never seen you want something this badly before.

00:15:43I won the Ability Championship.

00:15:45The prize pain will hit this card in two months.

00:15:47Consider it something I owe you.

00:15:49Thank you, Lyra.

00:15:50The money wasn't enough.

00:15:52I emptied my savings for the deposit and earned one visit.

00:15:55Only one visit.

00:15:56No exceptions.

00:15:58He lay in an iron cage, a heavy collar and chain around his neck, barely breathing.

00:16:02So quiet, I had to strain to hear it.

00:16:05When I approached,

00:16:08his damaged ears twitched.

00:16:10His blood-matted tail gave a weak, slow wag.

00:16:18Bellona, do you really think you still deserve the crown?

00:16:20You've bled yourself dry feeding that beast I crippled.

00:16:23You can barely even hold your sword.

00:16:27I need a new queen to bear a pure bloodline,

00:16:30not a monster with dragon blood in her veins like you.

00:16:34Sister, I will be the queen in your place.

00:16:37Drink it.

00:16:37And go in peace.

00:16:39This is the last and only dignity you have left.

00:16:44Dignity?

00:16:45Just wait.

00:16:46I'll come back and burn this empire to the ground for him.

00:16:55Apalanu, keep that rotting chair of yours.

00:16:58When I return, I'll feed your bones to my dragon.

00:17:01Hold on tight to this piece of trash, my sister.

00:17:04Be careful.

00:17:05My today will be your tomorrow.

00:17:10Three days ago,

00:17:11when Apalanu barred my army from the capital,

00:17:13I knew this wedding was a trap.

00:17:15I sent General Neath to the abbess to secure our retreat.

00:17:19I hoped I was being paranoid.

00:17:21But it seems,

00:17:22I was still too kind.

00:17:25Full army!

00:17:26Hunt her down to the ends of the earth!

00:17:28Bring me her head!

00:17:30Apalanu is a fool who tries to douse a goddess with poison.

00:17:34But I,

00:17:34I want to see how that fire burns.

00:17:37When it's inside my arms.

00:17:41Sire,

00:17:41the woman has wrested the capital and taken the abbess.

00:17:44Her general is scouring the market for obedient toys to amuse her.

00:17:49Put me on the auction block tonight.

00:17:51Tell the merchants I'm the most expensive new gift they've ever seen.

00:17:53She needs amusement.

00:17:55My body will be more than enough.

00:17:57Bologna,

00:17:59come and claim me.

00:18:01Seven years ago,

00:18:02you walked right past me.

00:18:04This time,

00:18:05I'll make sure you're the one who takes me home.

00:18:15Apalanu's assassins could be anywhere.

00:18:17I need a pack of rabid dogs to turn this abyss into his grave.

00:18:21Who wants to carve up Apalanu's empire with me?

00:18:24Kneel!

00:18:25And swear your feility now!

00:18:27General Neath.

00:18:29Bologna,

00:18:30when I saw the capital burning from here,

00:18:31I thought you'd die taking that bastard down with you.

00:18:34Thank God you made it.

00:18:35Death is too easy for him.

00:18:36We're going back to take what was always ours.

00:18:38Happy birthday, Bologna.

00:18:41Found this prize at the black market.

00:18:43A mute war slave.

00:18:44Strange thing is,

00:18:45the perverts didn't snatch him up.

00:18:46He was waiting just for today.

00:18:47Thanks,

00:18:47thanks,

00:18:47but I have no time for toys,

00:18:49Neath.

00:18:49I'm here to build an army in the Abyss,

00:18:50not a harem.

00:18:51Take him away.

00:18:52Bologna,

00:18:52you're still healing,

00:18:53and Saris isn't fit for flight.

00:18:55Our mercenaries are brave,

00:18:56but gold is a fickle master.

00:18:59Mute,

00:18:59can't leak secrets.

00:19:00And if an assassin comes,

00:19:01let him take the first blade.

00:19:03You're right.

00:19:04I trust my soldiers,

00:19:05but I don't trust the silence here.

00:19:07Keep him.

00:19:07A shadow who cannot speak is exactly what I need right now.

00:19:14You have a killer's eyes,

00:19:16mute.

00:19:16Do you want to rip my throat out?

00:19:19Good.

00:19:20I like a fight in bed.

00:19:23He's savage and unbroken.

00:19:25Perfect for riding Bologna.

00:19:26Enjoy.

00:19:32Strip those rags off.

00:19:35Show me how many more scars you're hiding.

00:19:37Tear your throat out?

00:19:38No, my queen.

00:19:40I'm going to worship you

00:19:41until you scream my name.

00:19:54Your fire saved my life.

00:19:56Now,

00:19:56let my ice protect your dragon.

00:19:59Impressive stamina.

00:20:00Mute.

00:20:01You're more like an obedient hound than I expected.

00:20:04From now on,

00:20:05you're hound.

00:20:06Good boy.

00:20:06Behave,

00:20:07and I might just keep you.

00:20:10Queen,

00:20:11one broken slave isn't enough.

00:20:12Why not try me tonight?

00:20:14Go away!

00:20:15They're in...

00:20:16He's my only human shield.

00:20:18Touch him,

00:20:19and you pay with your life.

00:20:31That dragon riding beach.

00:20:33One of these days,

00:20:33I'll pin her down and...

00:20:36Her name is sacred.

00:20:38Next time you think of her,

00:20:40you'll do it in hell.

00:20:41Yes.

00:20:45Your majesty.

00:20:47Apollanu's army is gathering at the border.

00:20:53If you're a prisoner,

00:20:54why are you carrying the personal blade of the Winter Tyrant?

00:21:04Valona,

00:21:04do you really think you still deserve the crown?

00:21:06You've bled yourself dry,

00:21:07feeding that beast I crippled.

00:21:09You can barely even hold your sword.

00:21:13I need a new queen to bear a pure bloodline,

00:21:23Drink it,

00:21:23and go in peace.

00:21:25This is the last and only dignity you have left.

00:21:30Dignity,

00:21:31just wait.

00:21:32I'll come back

00:21:33and burn this empire to the ground for him.

00:21:37What?

00:21:41Apollanu,

00:21:42keep that rotting chair of yours.

00:21:44When I return,

00:21:45I'll feed your bones to my dragon.

00:30:35Valona, do you really think

00:30:36you still deserve the crown?

00:30:38You've bled yourself dry

00:30:39feeding that beast I crippled.

00:30:41You can barely even hold your sword.

00:30:45I need a new queen to bear

00:30:46a pure bloodline,

00:30:47not a monster with dragon blood

00:30:49in her veins like you.

00:30:52Sister,

00:30:52I will be the queen in your place.

00:30:54Drink it.

00:30:55And go in peace.

00:30:56This is the last

00:30:57and only dignity

00:30:58you have left.

00:31:02Dignity?

00:31:03Just wait.

00:31:04I'll come back

00:31:05and burn this empire

00:31:06to the ground for him.

00:31:13Apollanu,

00:31:13keep that rotting chair of yours.

00:31:15When I return,

00:31:17I'll feed your bones

00:31:17to my dragon.

00:31:19Hold on tight

00:31:19to this piece of trash,

00:31:20my sister.

00:31:21Be careful.

00:31:23My today will be your tomorrow.

00:31:28Three days ago,

00:31:29when Apollanu

00:31:29barred my army

00:31:30from the capital,

00:31:31I knew this wedding was a trap.

00:31:32I sent General Neath

00:31:34to the Abyss

00:31:34to secure our retreat.

00:31:36I hoped I was being paranoid,

00:31:39but it seems

00:31:40I was still too kind.

00:31:42Full army!

00:31:44Hunt her down

00:31:45to the ends of the earth!

00:31:46Bring me her head!

00:31:48Apollanu is a fool

00:31:49who tries to douse

00:31:50a goddess with poison.

00:31:51But I,

00:31:52I want to see

00:31:53how that fire burns

00:31:54when it's inside my arms.

00:31:58Sire,

00:31:59the woman has wrested the capital

00:32:00and taken the Abyss.

00:32:01Her general is scouring

00:32:02the market

00:32:03for obedient toys

00:32:04to amuse her.

00:32:06Put me on the auction block

00:32:08tonight.

00:32:08Tell the merchants

00:32:09I'm the most expensive

00:32:10new gift they've ever seen.

00:32:11She needs amusement.

00:32:12My body will be

00:32:13more than enough.

00:32:14Bologna,

00:32:16come and claim me.

00:32:19Seven years ago,

00:32:20you walked right past me.

00:32:22This time,

00:32:23I'll make sure

00:32:24you're the one

00:32:25who takes me home.

00:32:32Apollanu's assassins

00:32:33could be anywhere.

00:32:34I need a pack

00:32:35of rabid dogs

00:32:36to turn this abyss

00:32:37into his grave.

00:32:39Who wants to carve up

00:32:40Apollanu's empire with me?

00:32:42Kneel!

00:32:42And swear your feality now!

00:32:45General Neith.

00:32:46Bologna?

00:32:47When I saw the capital

00:32:48burning from here,

00:32:49I thought you'd die

00:32:50taking that bastard

00:32:50down with you.

00:32:51Thank God you made it.

00:32:52Death is too easy for him.

00:32:54We're going back

00:32:54to take what was always ours.

00:32:56Happy birthday, Bologna.

00:32:59Found this prize

00:33:00at the black market.

00:33:00A mute war slave.

00:33:02Strange thing is,

00:33:02the perverts didn't

00:33:03snatch him up.

00:33:03He was waiting

00:33:04just for today.

00:33:05Thanks,

00:33:05but I have no time

00:33:06for toys, Neith.

00:33:06I'm here to build

00:33:07an army in the Abyss,

00:33:08not a harem.

00:33:09Take him away.

00:33:09Bologna,

00:33:10you're still healing,

00:33:11and Saris isn't

00:33:12fit for flight.

00:33:12Our mercenaries are brave,

00:33:14but gold is a fickle master.

00:33:16Mute,

00:33:17can't leak secrets,

00:33:18and if an assassin comes,

00:33:19let him take the first blade.

00:33:20You're right.

00:33:21I trust my soldiers,

00:33:23but I don't trust

00:33:23the silence here.

00:33:24Keep him.

00:33:25A shadow who cannot speak

00:33:26is exactly what I need

00:33:26right now.

00:33:32You have a killer's eyes,

00:33:34mute.

00:33:34Do you want to

00:33:35rip my throat out?

00:33:37Good.

00:33:38I like a fight in bed.

00:33:40He's savage and unbroken.

00:33:42Perfect for riding Bologna.

00:33:44Enjoy!

00:33:50Strip those rags off.

00:33:53Show me how many more scars

00:33:54you're hiding.

00:33:55Tear your throat out?

00:33:56No, my queen.

00:33:57I'm going to worship you

00:33:59until you scream my name.

00:34:12Your fire saved my life.

00:34:13Now, let my ice protect your dragon.

00:34:16Impressive stamina.

00:34:18Mute.

00:34:18You're more like an obedient hound

00:34:20than I expected.

00:34:22From now on, you're hound.

00:34:23Good boy.

00:34:24Behave.

00:34:25And I might just keep you.

00:34:28Queen.

00:34:28One broken slave isn't enough.

00:34:30Why not try me tonight?

00:34:32Go away!

00:34:34He's my only human shield.

00:34:36Touch him

00:34:37and you pay with your life.

00:34:48That dragon riding beach

00:34:50one of these days

00:34:51I'll pin her down

00:34:52and

00:34:54Her name is sacred.

00:34:56Next time you think of her

00:34:57you'll do it in hell.

00:35:03Your majesty.

00:35:04Apollanu's army

00:35:05is gathering at the border.

00:35:10If you're a prisoner

00:35:11why are you carrying

00:35:12the personal blade

00:35:13of the winter tyrant?

00:35:18This cut is deep.

00:35:19It will definitely

00:35:20leave a scar.

00:35:21I bought my shifter

00:35:22to love me.

00:35:24He spent a whole year

00:35:26hating me instead.

00:35:27So today

00:35:28I'm trading him in.

00:35:29She mutters that

00:35:30no properly trained beast man

00:35:31should be hurting

00:35:32their owner like this

00:35:33and asks if mine ever

00:35:34went through socialization training.

00:35:36He did.

00:35:37In fact,

00:35:38he graduated

00:35:39at the top of his class.

00:35:41My phone vibrates.

00:35:43Dorian.

00:35:43I already know

00:35:44what the messages say

00:35:45before I open them.

00:35:47It's just a scratch.

00:35:48Did you really need

00:35:49to go to the hospital?

00:35:50Come home and cook.

00:35:51I'm hungry.

00:35:52I've never been full

00:35:53since living with you.

00:35:54You take terrible care of me.

00:35:55I've spent an entire year

00:35:56waiting for him to change.

00:35:57Waiting for him to stop

00:35:58talking to me like this.

00:35:59Waiting for him to look at me

00:36:00and see something

00:36:01other than disappointment.

00:36:02I leave the hospital

00:36:04and head straight

00:36:05to the beast man

00:36:05registry center.

00:36:07I'd like to exchange

00:36:08my beast man.

00:36:09That gets her attention

00:36:10immediately.

00:36:12You've been registered

00:36:13with him for almost a year.

00:36:15You're only a short time

00:36:16away from forming

00:36:17a permanent bond.

00:36:18Why would you want

00:36:19to replace him now?

00:36:20I used to talk to Dorian

00:36:21about bond ceremonies.

00:36:23About rings.

00:36:24About our future.

00:36:26He would only curl his lip

00:36:27and asked if I honestly

00:36:28thought I was worthy of him.

00:36:30He doesn't like me.

00:36:31Honestly,

00:36:31I think he hates me.

00:36:33It's been a year

00:36:34and that hasn't changed.

00:36:35A trained beast man

00:36:36is supposed to love

00:36:37their owner wholeheartedly.

00:36:38Problems like that

00:36:39shouldn't happen.

00:36:40But they do.

00:36:41And that's why

00:36:42I want a new one.

00:36:43She leads me through

00:36:44the available files.

00:36:45Foxes.

00:36:46Leopards.

00:36:46A few others.

00:36:48They're all attractive

00:36:49though none quite

00:36:50match Dorian's pedigree.

00:36:51I'd prefer a canine.

00:36:52I've heard they're usually

00:36:53more affectionate

00:36:53toward humans.

00:36:54No canines

00:36:55are currently available.

00:36:56Photograph slips

00:36:57from her folded

00:36:58and lands on the floor.

00:36:59I bend down

00:36:59to pick it up.

00:37:00The man in the picture

00:37:01has cold gray eyes

00:37:02with vertical pupils.

00:37:03A wolf.

00:37:04A werewolf.

00:37:05Honestly,

00:37:06he's the most obedient

00:37:06beast man we have.

00:37:07Then why is he still here?

00:37:09People are afraid

00:37:09of werewolves.

00:37:10The owner thinks

00:37:11keeping him

00:37:11is a financial loss.

00:37:12If nobody takes him today

00:37:13he'll be sold

00:37:14to a fighting arena.

00:37:15He was raised

00:37:15to be gentle.

00:37:16An arena would be

00:37:17hell for him.

00:37:18But nobody wants him.

00:37:19I've heard what happens

00:37:20in those places.

00:37:21They tear beast men

00:37:22apart piece by piece.

00:37:23My eyes settle

00:37:24on the wolf's face.

00:37:25His gaze doesn't

00:37:26look gentle.

00:37:27It looks restrained.

00:37:28Like he's waiting.

00:37:30Waiting for one chance.

00:37:32Is he really obedient?

00:37:34Absolutely.

00:37:36I look at the photo

00:37:37one last time.

00:37:39I'll take him.

00:37:43The staff tells me

00:37:44the werewolf

00:37:44will arrive in three days.

00:37:46I carefully tuck

00:37:47the transfer agreement

00:37:48into my bag.

00:37:49On my way home

00:37:50I spot Dorian and Bianca

00:37:52from half a block away.

00:37:53The white haired fox beast man

00:37:54is standing in the glow

00:37:55of the setting sun

00:37:56looking almost unreal.

00:37:58Beautiful.

00:37:58Perfect.

00:37:59Like a piece of artwork.

00:38:00Bianca lives next door.

00:38:01She's a highborn human.

00:38:02Smart, elegant,

00:38:03and rich enough

00:38:04to never worry about money.

00:38:05Ever since she met Dorian

00:38:06she's been bringing him

00:38:07expensive nutritional supplements.

00:38:09The two of them

00:38:10have become unusually close.

00:38:12A year ago

00:38:12seeing them together

00:38:14would have made

00:38:14my stomach twist.

00:38:15Now

00:38:16I simply slow my pace.

00:38:18Bianca notices me first.

00:38:20Lucy?

00:38:20Heading to another

00:38:21part-time job?

00:38:22She gives me a small smile

00:38:23that doesn't quite

00:38:24reach her eyes.

00:38:25I don't mean anything by it

00:38:27but

00:38:28even if you and Dorian

00:38:29are about to form a bond

00:38:30you should really make

00:38:32more of an effort

00:38:33with your appearance.

00:38:34Look at what you're wearing.

00:38:35Honestly

00:38:36who would believe

00:38:37the two of you are together?

00:38:38I glance down

00:38:39at my t-shirt and jeans

00:38:40then at her elegant dress.

00:38:42I think I look fine.

00:38:44Darian doesn't even look at me.

00:38:46She wouldn't look good

00:38:47even if she tried.

00:38:49Honestly

00:38:50it's better if she pretends

00:38:52she doesn't know how to dress.

00:38:53That way people won't realize

00:38:54she's actually just ugly.

00:38:56Bianca lightly smacks his arm.

00:38:58Dorian

00:38:59that's a terrible thing to say.

00:39:01You're trying to help her

00:39:02and she'll just think

00:39:03you're being nosy.

00:39:04He finally glances at me.

00:39:05A low-born human

00:39:06could never understand

00:39:07how someone like Bianca thinks.

00:39:09Being bought by Lucy

00:39:10is the unluckiest thing

00:39:11that's ever happened to me.

00:39:12A year ago

00:39:12that sentence would have

00:39:13ruined my entire night.

00:39:14I would have gone home

00:39:15wondering what I did wrong.

00:39:17Wondering how to make him like me.

00:39:19Wondering how to be better.

00:39:20Now

00:39:20I only have one thought.

00:39:22Two more days

00:39:23and none of this

00:39:24will be my problem anymore.

00:39:28The truth is

00:39:29Dorian wasn't always like this.

00:39:32Back when I couldn't afford

00:39:32the expensive supplements

00:39:34a top-teal beastman

00:39:35was supposed to have

00:39:36he never complained.

00:39:37Back when the cheap clothes

00:39:39I bought irritated

00:39:39his sensitive skin

00:39:40he still smiled

00:39:42and told me

00:39:42Meeting Lucy

00:39:44was the luckiest thing

00:39:45that had ever happened to me.

00:39:48Everything changed

00:39:49after we ran into

00:39:49his old rival

00:39:50a red fox.

00:39:52We were walking down the street

00:39:54when I dropped my bag.

00:39:56My things scattered everywhere.

00:39:58Dorian immediately

00:39:59crouched down

00:39:59to help my pick them up.

00:40:01At that exact moment

00:40:02a luxury car pulled over.

00:40:04The red fox stepped out

00:40:05and planted his foot

00:40:07directly on Dorian's hand.

00:40:08Ah!

00:40:09Dorian flinched.

00:40:10The fox smiled.

00:40:11Well if it isn't Dorian

00:40:12the most popular

00:40:13beastman of his generation.

00:40:14His eyes slid toward me.

00:40:16Then he laughed.

00:40:17How did someone like you

00:40:18end up with such an ugly

00:40:20low-born human?

00:40:23Then again

00:40:24I suppose it fits.

00:40:25A defective beastman

00:40:26and a low-born human.

00:40:28Perfect match.

00:40:29That night

00:40:29Dorian locked himself

00:40:31in his room.

00:40:32I sat outside the door

00:40:33until sunrise.

00:40:34The ranking system

00:40:36was stupid.

00:40:37I told him

00:40:38the registry was wrong

00:40:39for labeling him defective.

00:40:41None of that

00:40:41determined his worth.

00:40:43And I meant every word.

00:40:45Hours later

00:40:46the door finally opened.

00:40:48His eyes were red

00:40:49and swollen.

00:40:49He stared at me

00:40:51for a long moment

00:40:51before speaking.

00:40:53You've never been at the top.

00:40:55Of course you'd think

00:40:56being trash isn't that bad.

00:40:59That was the first time

00:41:00I realized something.

00:41:02Dorian had never truly

00:41:04seen us as equals.

00:41:05Not even once.

00:41:07Later

00:41:08he met Bianca.

00:41:09Bianca had everything

00:41:10I didn't.

00:41:11Status.

00:41:12Money.

00:41:12Connections.

00:41:13The ability to give Dorian

00:41:15the life he thought

00:41:15he deserved.

00:41:17The two of them

00:41:18grew closer every day.

00:41:19Sometimes I'd see them

00:41:20talking on the porch.

00:41:21Sometimes she'd lean

00:41:22against him.

00:41:24Sometimes he'd let her.

00:41:26I only brought it up once.

00:41:28Just once.

00:41:30You're my

00:41:31registered beast man.

00:41:32Could you maybe

00:41:33keep a little distance

00:41:34from Bianca?

00:41:35Dorian looked down at me.

00:41:36His eyes were cold.

00:41:38Worse than cold.

00:41:39They were full of resentment.

00:41:41Lucy.

00:41:42If I didn't have a defect

00:41:43do you really think

00:41:44you could have afforded me?

00:41:45The words hit harder

00:41:46than any claw ever had.

00:41:48You just took advantage

00:41:49of someone when they

00:41:49were vulnerable.

00:41:50So what exactly gives you

00:41:52the right to act like

00:41:52my owner?

00:41:55I never mentioned

00:41:56Bianca again.

00:41:57There was no point

00:41:58because I remembered

00:41:59something Dorian

00:42:00seemed to have forgotten.

00:42:01A year ago

00:42:02he was the one

00:42:02who begged me

00:42:03to save him.

00:42:04Someone who calls

00:42:05being rescued

00:42:05taking advantage

00:42:06was never going

00:42:07to remember the truth.

00:42:10In this era

00:42:11male beastmen

00:42:11have taken over

00:42:12humanity's role

00:42:13in reproduction.

00:42:14Before everything

00:42:14went wrong

00:42:15Dorian was considered

00:42:16one of the finest

00:42:17beastmen on the market.

00:42:18At auction

00:42:19he sold for

00:42:20an astronomical price.

00:42:21Then they discovered

00:42:22he was infertile.

00:42:23Everything changed

00:42:24overnight.

00:42:24A beastman who

00:42:25couldn't fulfill

00:42:26his intended function

00:42:27was suddenly worthless.

00:42:28Even after his price

00:42:29dropped to $500,000

00:42:30nobody wanted him.

00:42:32To people looking

00:42:33for offspring

00:42:33he was just

00:42:34defective merchandise.

00:42:36The people in

00:42:37The day I met him

00:42:38was the day I went

00:42:39to buy a beastman

00:42:40of my own.

00:42:42Dorian broke

00:42:43free from his

00:42:43handlers.

00:42:44Then he dropped

00:42:45to his knees

00:42:45in front of me.

00:42:47Please.

00:42:48Please save me.

00:42:50I'll be good to you.

00:42:52I'll be your family.

00:42:53I don't want to die.

00:42:54Please.

00:42:55Nobody chooses you.

00:42:56So I didn't walk away.

00:42:57I emptied my savings.

00:42:59Took out a small loan.

00:43:00Spent everything I had.

00:43:02And I bought him.

00:43:03Not because I acted

00:43:04on impulse.

00:43:05Not because I felt

00:43:06sorry for him.

00:43:08I knew exactly

00:43:08what I was doing.

00:43:09I simply chose

00:43:10to do it.

00:43:11Afterward

00:43:12I never brought

00:43:13it up again.

00:43:13I didn't want

00:43:14to hurt his pride.

00:43:15I never imagined

00:43:16that one day

00:43:17I'd hear those

00:43:17same events

00:43:18described as me

00:43:19taking advantage

00:43:19of him.

00:43:20The day he said

00:43:21that

00:43:22we ended up

00:43:23arguing.

00:43:24At some point

00:43:25my hand brushed

00:43:25against his.

00:43:27The reaction

00:43:28was immediate.

00:43:29Hard.

00:43:29My arm slammed

00:43:30into the sharp

00:43:31corner of a table.

00:43:32The wound split

00:43:33open so deeply

00:43:34I could see bone.

00:43:35For a moment

00:43:35Dormian froze.

00:43:37Then he looked away.

00:43:38If you hadn't

00:43:39been touching me

00:43:39you wouldn't

00:43:39have gotten hurt.

00:43:41This is your own fault.

00:43:43He didn't even

00:43:44offer to take me

00:43:45to the hospital.

00:43:46I'm going shopping

00:43:47with Bianca.

00:43:49Besides

00:43:49me being there

00:43:50won't make you

00:43:50hurt any less.

00:43:53Then he looked

00:43:53back at me.

00:43:54You have your own

00:43:55hands and feet.

00:43:57Stop blaming

00:43:57everything on me.

00:43:59Later

00:43:59while the nurse

00:44:00stitched my arm

00:44:01a wound this deep

00:44:02is definitely

00:44:03going to scar.

00:44:04It'll probably

00:44:05ache every time

00:44:06it rains.

00:44:06Then she glanced

00:44:07at me.

00:44:07The sympathy

00:44:08in her eyes

00:44:09almost broke me.

00:44:10You and your

00:44:10beast man don't

00:44:11seem right for

00:44:11each other.

00:44:12Maybe it's time

00:44:13to let go.

00:44:14The words hit me

00:44:14harder than I

00:44:15expected because

00:44:16she was saying

00:44:16something I'd been

00:44:17thinking for months.

00:44:18Something I never

00:44:19had the courage

00:44:19to admit.

00:44:20Maybe I could

00:44:21let go.

00:44:22Maybe Dorian and

00:44:23I didn't need to

00:44:24spend the rest of

00:44:24our lives tied

00:44:25together.

00:44:26And in that

00:44:27moment something

00:44:27that had been

00:44:28wrapped around my

00:44:29chest for an

00:44:29entire year

00:44:30finally loosened.

00:44:31I could breathe

00:44:32again.

00:44:34My thoughts

00:44:35return to the

00:44:36present.

00:44:37Just as Dormian

00:44:38reaches for the

00:44:38door I stop him.

00:44:40Dormian he pauses.

00:44:42Do you really

00:44:42think being with

00:44:43me is that

00:44:43miserable?

00:44:44His body

00:44:45stiffens for a

00:44:46second.

00:44:48Then he turns

00:44:49around.

00:44:49The same

00:44:50mocking smile

00:44:51is still on his

00:44:51face.

00:44:52Of course.

00:44:53He leans

00:44:53against the

00:44:54doorframe.

00:44:55But someone

00:44:55like you

00:44:56finally got

00:44:57lucky enough

00:44:58to end up

00:44:58with someone

00:44:58like me.

00:45:00His eyes

00:45:00sweep over

00:45:01me.

00:45:03Can you

00:45:03really bear

00:45:04to let that

00:45:04go?

00:45:07A cold

00:45:08laugh escapes

00:45:08him.

00:45:09I'm stuck

00:45:10with you for

00:45:10the rest of

00:45:11my life.

00:45:12There's no

00:45:12getting rid

00:45:13of a clingy

00:45:13human like

00:45:14you.

00:45:15I don't

00:45:15argue.

00:45:16The more

00:45:16convinced he

00:45:17is that I

00:45:17can't leave

00:45:18him, the

00:45:19better this

00:45:19will be.

00:45:20When I

00:45:20don't respond,

00:45:21his tail

00:45:22flips impatiently

00:45:23against the

00:45:23floor.

00:45:24What are you

00:45:24trying to

00:45:24say?

00:45:25I lower

00:45:25my gaze and

00:45:26pick at my

00:45:26fingernail,

00:45:27hiding the

00:45:28smile threatening

00:45:29to appear.

00:45:30I got you

00:45:31a gift.

00:45:32Dorian raises

00:45:33an eyebrow.

00:45:35A gift?

00:45:36In a few

00:45:37days, you'll

00:45:38find out.

00:45:38For the

00:45:39briefest moment,

00:45:40something flashes

00:45:40across his

00:45:41face.

00:45:41It almost

00:45:42looks like

00:45:42anticipation.

00:45:45Then it's

00:45:46gone.

00:45:46The mockery

00:45:47returns

00:45:47immediately.

00:45:49What is it

00:45:50this time?

00:45:51Another one

00:45:52of those cheap

00:45:52supplements even

00:45:53dogs wouldn't

00:45:53drink?

00:45:55I'll probably

00:45:55have to waste

00:45:56my time pouring

00:45:57it down the

00:45:57toilet.

00:45:57I look up

00:45:58at him.

00:45:59This time,

00:46:00I'm completely

00:46:00honest.

00:46:01No.

00:46:03It's the

00:46:04thing you

00:46:04want most.

00:46:05Freedom.

00:46:06Dorian doesn't

00:46:07know that yet.

00:46:08It better be.

00:46:10Then he slams

00:46:10the door shut

00:46:11behind him.

00:46:22Bianca shows up

00:46:23early the next

00:46:23morning.

00:46:24Dorian and I

00:46:24are going

00:46:25shopping today.

00:46:26She smiles

00:46:26sweetly.

00:46:27We have

00:46:27similar taste.

00:46:28It's easier to

00:46:29shop with someone

00:46:29who understands

00:46:30these things.

00:46:30Then she

00:46:31looked at me.

00:46:32Lucy,

00:46:33you're not

00:46:33upset, are

00:46:34you?

00:46:34There's a hint

00:46:34of expectation

00:46:35in her eyes.

00:46:36Normally,

00:46:36I would have

00:46:37been.

00:46:37For an entire

00:46:38year, it

00:46:39bothered me that

00:46:39Dorian never

00:46:40wanted to go

00:46:40anywhere with

00:46:41me but always

00:46:41had time for

00:46:42Bianca.

00:46:43I cried over

00:46:44things like

00:46:44that.

00:46:45Not anymore.

00:46:46I don't mind.

00:46:48Dorian looked

00:46:48shocked.

00:46:49You're not

00:46:50mad?

00:46:51I shrug on

00:46:52my jacket.

00:46:53No.

00:46:53Go wherever

00:46:54you want.

00:46:55Bianca immediately

00:46:56hooks her arm

00:46:56through Dorian's.

00:46:57See?

00:46:58She's fine with

00:46:58it.

00:46:59Let's go.

00:46:59I watch them

00:47:00leave together.

00:47:01Surprisingly,

00:47:01I don't feel

00:47:02that familiar

00:47:03ache anymore.

00:47:03I just put on

00:47:04my shoes and

00:47:05head out myself.

00:47:06The shopping

00:47:06center is having

00:47:07a huge seasonal

00:47:08sale today.

00:47:08I need to buy

00:47:09supplies for the

00:47:10werewolf before

00:47:10he arrives.

00:47:11The mall is

00:47:12packed.

00:47:12Most of the

00:47:13shoppers are

00:47:13ordinary humans

00:47:14with ordinary

00:47:15beastmen.

00:47:15Families.

00:47:16Couples.

00:47:17Friends.

00:47:18The aisles are

00:47:19crowded, noisy,

00:47:20and full of

00:47:20laughter.

00:47:21Everyone looks

00:47:21happy.

00:47:22Without meaning

00:47:23to, I find

00:47:23myself smiling

00:47:24too.

00:47:25Maybe that's

00:47:25what my life

00:47:25will look like

00:47:26soon.

00:47:26Maybe having

00:47:27a new beastman

00:47:28will feel

00:47:28different.

00:47:29If I hadn't

00:47:29met Dorian that

00:47:30day, I probably

00:47:30would have had

00:47:31that life already.

00:47:32I won't have

00:47:32to listen to

00:47:33Dorian complain

00:47:33that cheap

00:47:34people should

00:47:34buy cheap

00:47:35things.

00:47:35I won't have

00:47:36to watch him

00:47:36sneer at

00:47:36places like

00:47:37this before

00:47:37walking away

00:47:38and leaving

00:47:38me standing

00:47:39there alone.

00:47:39I didn't have

00:47:40to bear his

00:47:40arrogance.

00:47:41Honestly, all

00:47:42I'd ever wanted

00:47:42was a warm

00:47:43relationship.

00:47:43It didn't have

00:47:44to look fancy.

00:47:45If it weren't

00:47:45Dorian, I

00:47:46probably would

00:47:47have had it

00:47:47a long time

00:47:47ago.

00:47:49Please.

00:47:52By the time

00:47:53I get home,

00:47:54the sky is

00:47:54dark.

00:47:55To my surprise,

00:47:56Dorian is

00:47:57already there.

00:47:58Usually he and

00:47:58Bianca don't come

00:47:59back until late

00:48:00at night.

00:48:00He's sitting on

00:48:01the couch with

00:48:01his arms crossed.

00:48:02The anger on

00:48:03his face is

00:48:03impossible to miss.

00:48:05Where were you?

00:48:05You didn't even

00:48:06make dinner.

00:48:07Living with you

00:48:08is miserable

00:48:09enough already.

00:48:10Now I can't

00:48:11even get a

00:48:11decent meal.

00:48:12You take

00:48:13terrible care

00:48:13of me.

00:48:14I take a sip

00:48:14of my iced

00:48:15coffee and

00:48:15set my

00:48:16shopping bags

00:48:16down.

00:48:17Oh, I

00:48:18assumed you'd

00:48:19eat at

00:48:19Bianca's

00:48:19place.

00:48:20Besides, I

00:48:21thought you

00:48:21didn't want

00:48:21my cooking.

00:48:22Dorian frowns.

00:48:23On your

00:48:24birthday, I

00:48:24spent an

00:48:25entire afternoon

00:48:26making dinner.

00:48:28You threw

00:48:29all of it in

00:48:29the trash.

00:48:31For the first

00:48:31time all

00:48:32evening, he

00:48:33has nothing

00:48:33to say.

00:48:35This cut is

00:48:36deep.

00:48:37It will

00:48:37definitely leave

00:48:38a scar.

00:48:39I bought my

00:48:40shifter to

00:48:40love me.

00:48:42He spent a

00:48:43whole year

00:48:44hating me

00:48:44instead.

00:48:45So today, I'm

00:48:46trading him in.

00:48:47She mutters that

00:48:48no properly

00:48:48trained beastman

00:48:49should be hurting

00:48:50their owner like

00:48:50this and asks if

00:48:52mine ever went

00:48:52through socialization

00:48:53training.

00:48:54He did.

00:48:55In fact, he

00:48:56graduated at the

00:48:57top of his

00:48:57class.

00:48:59My phone

00:49:00vibrates.

00:49:01Dorian, I

00:49:02already know what

00:49:02the messages say

00:49:03before I open

00:49:04them.

00:49:04It's just a

00:49:05scratch.

00:49:06Did you really

00:49:06need to go to

00:49:07the hospital?

00:49:08Come home and

00:49:08cook, I'm

00:49:09hungry.

00:49:10I've never been

00:49:10full since living

00:49:11with you.

00:49:12You take terrible

00:49:12care of me.

00:49:13I've spent an

00:49:13entire year waiting

00:49:14for him to

00:49:14change, waiting

00:49:15for him to stop

00:49:16talking to me

00:49:16like this, waiting

00:49:17for him to look

00:49:18at me and see

00:49:18something other

00:49:19than disappointment.

00:49:20I leave the

00:49:21hospital and head

00:49:22straight to the

00:49:23beastman registry

00:49:24center.

00:49:25I'd like to

00:49:25exchange my

00:49:26beastman.

00:49:27That gets her

00:49:28attention immediately.

00:49:30You've been

00:49:31registered with

00:49:31him for almost

00:49:32a year.

00:49:33You're only a

00:49:33short time away

00:49:34from forming a

00:49:35permanent bond.

00:49:36Why would you

00:49:36want to replace

00:49:37him now?

00:49:38I used to talk

00:49:38to Dorian about

00:49:39bond ceremonies,

00:49:41about rings,

00:49:42about our

00:49:43future.

00:49:44He would only

00:49:44curl his lip

00:49:45and asked if I

00:49:46honestly thought I

00:49:46was worthy of

00:49:47him.

00:49:47He doesn't like

00:49:48me.

00:49:49Honestly, I

00:49:49think he hates

00:49:50me.

00:49:50It's been a

00:49:51year and that

00:49:52hasn't changed.

00:49:53A trained

00:49:54beastman is

00:49:54supposed to love

00:49:55their owner

00:49:55wholeheartedly.

00:49:56Problems like

00:49:57that shouldn't

00:49:57happen.

00:49:58But they do.

00:49:59And that's why

00:50:00I want a new

00:50:00one.

00:50:01She leads me

00:50:01through the

00:50:02available files.

00:50:03Foxes,

00:50:04leopards,

00:50:04a few others.

00:50:05They're all

00:50:06attractive,

00:50:07though none

00:50:07quite match

00:50:08Dorian's

00:50:08pedigree.

00:50:09I'd prefer a

00:50:09canine.

00:50:10I've heard

00:50:10they're usually

00:50:11more affectionate

00:50:11toward humans.

00:50:12No canines are

00:50:13currently available.

00:50:14Photograph slips

00:50:15from her folded

00:50:15and lands on the

00:50:16floor.

00:50:16I bend down

00:50:17to pick it up.

00:50:18The man in

00:50:18the picture has

00:50:19cold gray eyes

00:50:19with vertical

00:50:20pupils.

00:50:21A wolf.

00:50:22A werewolf.

00:50:23Honestly, he's

00:50:24the most obedient

00:50:24beastman we have.

00:50:25Then why is he

00:50:26still here?

00:50:27People are afraid

00:50:27of werewolves.

00:50:28The owner thinks

00:50:28keeping him is a

00:50:29financial loss.

00:50:30If nobody takes

00:50:31him today, he'll be

00:50:31sold to a fighting

00:50:32arena.

00:50:32He was raised to

00:50:33be gentle.

00:50:34An arena would

00:50:35be hell for him.

00:50:35But nobody wants

00:50:36him.

00:50:37I've heard what

00:50:37happens in those

00:50:38places.

00:50:39They tear beastmen

00:50:39apart piece by

00:50:40piece.

00:50:41My eyes settle

00:50:42on the wolf's

00:50:42face.

00:50:43His gaze doesn't

00:50:44look gentle.

00:50:45It looks restrained.

00:50:46Like he's waiting.

00:50:47Waiting for one

00:50:48chance.

00:50:50Is he really

00:50:50obedient?

00:50:52Absolutely.

00:50:53I look at the

00:50:54photo one last

00:50:55time.

00:50:56I'll take him.

00:51:01The staff tells me

00:51:02the werewolf will

00:51:02arrive in three

00:51:03days.

00:51:04I carefully tuck the

00:51:05transfer agreement

00:51:06into my bag.

00:51:07On my way home, I

00:51:09spot Dorian and

00:51:09Bianca from half a

00:51:10block away.

00:51:11The white-haired

00:51:11fox beastman is

00:51:12standing in the

00:51:13glow of the

00:51:13setting sun, looking

00:51:14almost unreal.

00:51:15Beautiful.

00:51:16Perfect.

00:51:16Like a piece of

00:51:17artwork.

00:51:18Bianca lives next

00:51:18door.

00:51:19She's a high-born

00:51:19human.

00:51:20Smart, elegant, and

00:51:21rich enough to never

00:51:22worry about money.

00:51:23Ever since she met

00:51:24Dorian, she's been

00:51:25bringing him expensive

00:51:26nutritional supplements.

00:51:27The two of them have

00:51:28become unusually close.

00:51:30A year ago, seeing

00:51:31them together would

00:51:32have made my stomach

00:51:32twist.

00:51:33Now, I simply slow

00:51:34my pace.

00:51:36Bianca notices me

00:51:37first.

00:51:38Lucy?

00:51:38Heading to another

00:51:39part-time job?

00:51:40She gives me a small

00:51:41smile that doesn't

00:51:41quite reach her eyes.

00:51:43I don't mean anything

00:51:44by it, but even if

00:51:46you and Dorian are

00:51:47about to form a

00:51:48bond, you should

00:51:49really make more of

00:51:50an effort with your

00:51:51appearance.

00:51:52Look at what you're

00:51:53wearing.

00:51:53Honestly, who would

00:51:54believe the two of you

00:51:55are together?

00:51:56I glance down at my

00:51:57t-shirt and jeans, then

00:51:59at her elegant dress.

00:52:00I think I look fine.

00:52:02Darian doesn't even

00:52:03look at me.

00:52:04She wouldn't look good

00:52:05even if she tried.

00:52:08Honestly, it's better

00:52:09if she pretends she

00:52:10doesn't know how to

00:52:10dress.

00:52:11That way, people won't

00:52:12realize she's actually

00:52:13just ugly.

00:52:14Bianca lightly smacks

00:52:15his arm.

00:52:16Dorian, that's a

00:52:17terrible thing to say.

00:52:19You're trying to help

00:52:20her, and she'll just

00:52:21think you're being

00:52:21nosy.

00:52:22He finally glances

00:52:22at me.

00:52:23A lowborn human could

00:52:24never understand how

00:52:25someone like Bianca

00:52:26thinks.

00:52:26Being bought by Lucy

00:52:28is the unluckiest thing

00:52:28that's ever happened

00:52:29to me.

00:52:29A year ago, that

00:52:30sentence would have

00:52:31ruined my entire

00:52:32night.

00:52:32I would have gone

00:52:33home wondering what

00:52:33I did wrong.

00:52:34Wondering how to make

00:52:35him like me.

00:52:36Wondering how to be

00:52:37better.

00:52:38Now, I only have

00:52:39one thought.

00:52:40Two more days, and

00:52:42none of this will be

00:52:43my problem anymore.

00:52:46The truth is, Dorian

00:52:48wasn't always like

00:52:49this.

00:52:49Back when I couldn't

00:52:50afford the expensive

00:52:51supplements a top-teal

00:52:52beastman was supposed

00:52:53to have, he never

00:52:54complained.

00:52:55Back when the cheap

00:52:56clothes I bought

00:52:57irritated his sensitive

00:52:58skin, he still smiled

00:53:00and told me,

00:53:00Meeting Lucy was the

00:53:02luckiest thing that had

00:53:03ever happened to me.

00:53:05Everything changed

00:53:06after we ran into

00:53:07his old rival, a red

00:53:09fox.

00:53:10We were walking down

00:53:11the street when I

00:53:12dropped my bag.

00:53:14My things scattered

00:53:15everywhere.

00:53:16Dorian immediately

00:53:17crouched down to help

00:53:18my pick them up.

00:53:19At that exact moment,

00:53:20a luxury car pulled

00:53:21over.

00:53:22The red fox stepped

00:53:23out and planted his

00:53:24foot directly on

00:53:25Dorian's hand.

00:53:26Dorian flinched.

00:53:28The fox smiled.

00:53:29Well, if it isn't

00:53:29Dorian, the most

00:53:30popular beastman of

00:53:31his generation.

00:53:32His eyes slid toward

00:53:33me.

00:53:34Then he laughed.

00:53:35How did someone like

00:53:36you end up with such

00:53:37an ugly low-born

00:53:38human?

00:53:41Then again, I suppose

00:53:42it fits.

00:53:43A defective beastman

00:53:44and a low-born human.

00:53:46Perfect match.

00:53:47That night, Dorian

00:53:48locked himself in his

00:53:49room.

00:53:49I sat outside the door

00:53:51until sunrise.

00:53:52The ranking system

00:53:54was stupid.

00:53:55I told him the

00:53:56registry was wrong for

00:53:57labeling him defective.

00:53:59None of that determined

00:54:00his worth.

00:54:01And I meant every word.

00:54:03Hours later, the

00:54:04door finally opened.

00:54:05His eyes were red and

00:54:07swollen.

00:54:07He stared at me for a

00:54:09long moment before

00:54:10speaking.

00:54:11You've never been at

00:54:12the top.

00:54:13Of course you'd think

00:54:14being trash isn't that

00:54:15bad.

00:54:17That was the first time I

00:54:18realized something.

00:54:20Dorian had never truly

00:54:21seen us as equals.

00:54:23Not even once.

00:54:25Later, he met

00:54:26Bianca.

00:54:27Bianca had everything I

00:54:28didn't.

00:54:29Status.

00:54:30Money.

00:54:30Connections.

00:54:31The ability to give

00:54:32Dorian the life he

00:54:33thought he deserved.

00:54:34The two of them grew

00:54:36closer every day.

00:54:37Sometimes I'd see them

00:54:38talking on the porch.

00:54:39Sometimes she'd lean

00:54:40against him.

00:54:42Sometimes he'd let her.

00:54:44I only brought it up

00:54:45once.

00:54:46Just once.

00:54:48You're my registered

00:54:49beast man.

00:54:50Could you maybe keep a

00:54:51little distance from

00:54:52Bianca?

00:54:52Dorian looked down at me.

00:54:54His eyes were cold.

00:54:56Worse than cold.

00:54:57They were full of

00:54:58resentment.

00:54:59Lucy, if I didn't have

00:55:00a defect, do you really

00:55:01think you could have

00:55:02afforded me?

00:55:03The words hit harder

00:55:04than any claw ever had.

00:55:05You just took advantage

00:55:06of someone when they

00:55:07were vulnerable.

00:55:08So what exactly gives

00:55:09you the right to act

00:55:10like my owner?

00:55:12I never mentioned

00:55:14Bianca again.

00:55:15There was no point,

00:55:16because I remembered

00:55:17something Dorian seemed

00:55:18to have forgotten.

00:55:19A year ago, he was the

00:55:20one who begged me to

00:55:21save him.

00:55:22Someone who calls being

00:55:23rescued, taking advantage,

00:55:24was never going to

00:55:25remember the truth.

00:55:27In this era, male

00:55:29beastmen have taken

00:55:30over humanity's role

00:55:31in reproduction.

00:55:32Before everything went

00:55:33wrong, Dorian was

00:55:34considered one of the

00:55:34finest beastmen on the

00:55:35market.

00:55:37Happy birthday to you!

00:55:40Happy birthday, my boy.

00:55:41Go on, make a wish.

00:55:42I wish to lead the

00:55:43Orsani family and rule

00:55:44the city with you, Dad.

00:55:45If your mother was

00:55:46still here, she'd be so

00:55:47proud.

00:55:48For Orsini!

00:55:48Hold the blood!

00:55:49Carry the name!

00:55:53The Rosossi family

00:55:55sends their regards.

00:56:02The party is over.

00:56:18Take Julian!

00:56:19Get him out!

00:56:21The Orsini family is

00:56:22yours now.

00:56:23Can I count on you?

00:56:26You picked the wrong

00:56:27day to fuck

00:56:28father, bastards!

00:56:31Glenn Orsani.

00:56:32Pathetic.

00:56:33I hope your son loved

00:56:34my birthday gift.

00:56:35Revenge my father.

00:56:36I promise.

00:56:59Miss Rossetti, please come

00:57:00out!

00:57:01Now, time to leave!

00:57:02Yeah, right.

00:57:03All they ever do is lock

00:57:04me in that boring old

00:57:05manner.

00:57:05I'm done with it.

00:57:08Can I help you?

00:57:10I'm looking for a girl.

00:57:11This is the kitchen.

00:57:12I don't see any girl

00:57:13here.

00:57:16Who are you?

00:57:19Are you okay?

00:57:20You're bleeding.

00:57:22Not your problem.

00:57:23Excuse me?

00:57:25Do you even know

00:57:26who you're talking to?

00:57:34You didn't answer me.

00:57:35Who are you?

00:57:38My name is...

00:57:39The Pablos is not our

00:57:40turf.

00:57:40We just take a short ride.

00:57:41If someone finds out who

00:57:42you are, we'll be in real

00:57:43trouble.

00:57:43My name is Mary.

00:57:45What are you doing here?

00:57:46Are you...

00:57:47a Rosati?

00:57:49What if I am?

00:57:50That Orsini kid.

00:57:52He's gone now.

00:57:54Forget it.

00:57:54You've caused enough

00:57:55trouble tonight.

00:57:57I hope we'll meet again

00:57:59someday.

00:58:02Boss, all the Rossetti

00:58:04family present today have been

00:58:06eliminated.

00:58:06Good job.

00:58:08Share all C's property to our

00:58:09lads.

00:58:10Yes, boss.

00:58:13Mary, or should I call you

00:58:15Phoenix?

00:58:15I finally avenged my family.

00:58:17Where are you now?

00:58:18When will I find you?

00:58:24This is the last day of my

00:58:25life.

00:58:26We may never see each other

00:58:27again.

00:58:27My dear love.

00:58:33This is Maggie Rosati.

00:58:34Heiress to the Rosati family.

00:58:37Then why is she still alive?

00:58:38Boss, you made the rule.

00:58:40No killing women or children.

00:58:41So...

00:58:42She's a Rosati.

00:58:43I swore I'd wipe out every

00:58:44last one of them.

00:58:48Close your eyes.

00:58:49What?

00:58:49Can't kill me while I'm

00:58:50looking at you?

00:58:51I'm trying to leave you

00:58:52some dignity.

00:58:52I don't want to see you

00:58:53wet yourself, but it seems like...

00:58:54If you're going to do it,

00:58:55just do it.

00:58:57Enough!

00:58:59Enough is enough, Julian.

00:59:01And I thought I taught you.

00:59:02Never go too far.

00:59:03This is my revenge for my

00:59:04family.

00:59:04It's never enough.

00:59:05You know how much I

00:59:05sacrifice for this day.

00:59:07Then you've already done it,

00:59:08my boy.

00:59:09No.

00:59:10Not yet.

00:59:12Julian.

00:59:14Let me put it this way.

00:59:16She's about to be your wife.

00:59:18You wouldn't hurt your own

00:59:19wife, right?

00:59:20What?

00:59:22Me?

00:59:23Marry her?

00:59:24She's the daughter of my

00:59:25enemy!

00:59:26If you're going to kill me,

00:59:26just do it.

00:59:27Don't humiliate me like this.

00:59:29Julian, your families have

00:59:30been at each other's totes

00:59:31for years.

00:59:32You've thrown the whole city

00:59:33into chaos.

00:59:34It's time to end it up.

00:59:35The only way this feud ends,

00:59:36for good,

00:59:37is if you marry her.

00:59:38It'll never end.

00:59:39I'll wipe every last Rosati.

00:59:40How dare you speak to your

00:59:41godfather like that?

00:59:42What I said was not a

00:59:43suggestion.

00:59:43It was an order!

00:59:44My men just came out of a

00:59:45battle.

00:59:46This isn't the time to

00:59:47confront.

00:59:47You've got me wrong,

00:59:48godfather.

00:59:49Of course, I'll do as you

00:59:50say.

00:59:53Go hug your wife.

00:59:54Show your commitment.

00:59:56Of course.

00:59:58You guys are sick.

01:00:02That's my boy.

01:00:03I think you'll enjoy your

01:00:04marriage.

01:00:05Boss, he's humiliating you.

01:00:07He's doing this because you're

01:00:07getting stronger, and he wants

01:00:08to keep you in check.

01:00:10How long are we going to let

01:00:11this go on?

01:00:11No rush.

01:00:12I've got plans for him.

01:00:14Don't think you're getting away

01:00:15with it.

01:00:16I have plenty of ways to

01:00:17torture you.

01:00:21I'll survive.

01:00:22Only by staying alive can I get

01:00:24my revenge.

01:00:26Phoenix, I've been looking for

01:00:28you all these years.

01:00:29I had this dress made just for

01:00:30you, waiting for you to come

01:00:32back.

01:00:34Where are you?

01:00:35We've searched the whole city,

01:00:36but we still can't find a girl

01:00:37with a white phoenix birthmark.

01:00:38Keep looking!

01:00:39She's the only one I've ever

01:00:40loved!

01:00:43Julian, I knew you'd marry me.

01:00:44I've been waiting so long.

01:00:46Now that you have your revenge,

01:00:46we can finally be together.

01:00:49You've always been like a

01:00:50sister to me.

01:00:50How could I marry you?

01:00:51Besides, I'm about to marry

01:00:52Maggie Rosenti.

01:00:54Wait!

01:00:55That dress is for her?

01:00:56The only woman worthy of that

01:00:58dress is phoenix.

01:00:58That phoenix again.

01:01:00After all these years,

01:01:00she's still on his mind.

01:01:02I'm tired.

01:01:03I'm heading to bed.

01:01:04Alright.

01:01:04Good night.

01:01:05Anyone who tries to take

01:01:06Julian from me will die,

01:01:08starting with you,

01:01:09Maggie Rosenti.

01:01:10I'm sorry, my dear love.

01:01:11To survive, I have to get

01:01:12married.

01:01:12I just wish it were you

01:01:13instead.

01:01:14Miss Rossetti, here's your

01:01:15wedding dress.

01:01:15Mr. Orsino had it made

01:01:16just for you.

01:01:17Didn't he swear he was

01:01:18going to torture me?

01:01:19Why would he give me

01:01:19something so extravagant?

01:01:21Mr. Orsino may sound

01:01:22heartless, but everybody

01:01:22knows he's such a gentleman.

01:01:27Julian looks like he's

01:01:28at a funeral, not his

01:01:29wedding.

01:01:29Shut up.

01:01:30The bride's a Razzoni.

01:01:31How's he supposed to

01:01:31look happy?

01:01:32Yeah, but have you seen

01:01:33how hot she is?

01:01:33Boss, everyone's watching.

01:01:35At least try to look a

01:01:35little less miserable.

01:01:36It's your wedding.

01:01:37Just thinking about that

01:01:38Rosetti woman makes me

01:01:39want to throw up.

01:01:40The bride is here!

01:01:46I'm getting you out of

01:01:47here.

01:01:47I swear.

01:01:50Phoenix, is that you?

01:01:52Are you out of your mind?

01:01:53Of course you're nothing

01:01:54like her.

01:01:54You're not even close.

01:01:56So you had to love her.

01:01:57How sad.

01:01:58Does she know how

01:01:58ruthless you are?

01:01:59Shut up!

01:02:00You're just a cheap

01:02:00Rossini.

01:02:01You don't get to talk

01:02:01about her!

01:02:06This wedding dress.

01:02:08How dare you wear this?

01:02:09What's your problem?

01:02:09Let go of me!

01:02:12Take it off!

01:02:13Now!

01:02:16That's the wedding dress

01:02:17I prepared for my only love.

01:02:19Take it off.

01:02:20Now.

01:02:22She handed it to me!

01:02:24Boss!

01:02:24She's lying!

01:02:25She insisted on trying it.

01:02:27We couldn't stop her!

01:02:28You liar!

01:02:29You said it was for me!

01:02:31Are you drunk?

01:02:33For God's sake,

01:02:34you're a Rossini.

01:02:35How on earth would I

01:02:36prepare anything for you?

01:02:38She only wanted to wear it

01:02:39to please you.

01:02:40She thinks if she looks

01:02:41cute enough,

01:02:42you'll love her.

01:02:43Exactly.

01:02:43So now you're trying

01:02:44to lure me.

01:02:45Classic Rossini,

01:02:46doing whatever it takes

01:02:47to get what you want.

01:02:49I see.

01:02:50You two snakes.

01:02:51Don't flatter yourself.

01:02:52Not everyone wants your pity.

01:02:53I'm the errantress

01:02:54of the Rossini.

01:02:55I've worn dresses

01:02:56way better than this.

01:02:59What the hell

01:02:59are you doing?

01:03:00Don't you want me

01:03:01to take it off?

01:03:01Enough!

01:03:07Do your thing.

01:03:08Today we gather

01:03:09before God

01:03:09and these witnesses...

01:03:10Like I have a choice.

01:03:11I do.

01:03:12You may now kiss the bride.

01:03:13I'd have to be insane

01:03:14to kiss her.

01:03:16Perfect.

01:03:17She's done.

01:03:25Why is it so hot in here?

01:03:26Must be the booze.

01:03:27Trying to act

01:03:28like a gentleman now?

01:03:29Shut up.

01:03:30I'm just being careful

01:03:31with the dress.

01:03:32Don't move.

01:03:33That bastard.

01:03:34He actually has a soft side?

01:03:35Damn.

01:03:36Am I out of my mind

01:03:37or this dress

01:03:37really does suit her?

01:03:38Wait.

01:03:39Could she be...

01:03:42Enough.

01:03:43I'll take the rest

01:03:44off myself.

01:03:44You can wait

01:03:45for me outside.

01:03:45Forget it.

01:03:46How can she be Phoenix?

01:03:48This whole house

01:03:48belongs to me

01:03:49and you want me

01:03:49to wait outside?

01:03:52What are you doing?

01:03:54I'll make sure

01:03:55you never forget

01:03:56today's punishment.

01:03:57This isn't right.

01:03:58Don't you have

01:03:58someone you love?

01:03:59Isn't this what you want?

01:04:00Wearing my beloved's

01:04:01wedding dress?

01:04:01Trying to take her place

01:04:02to please me.

01:04:03No, I'm Maggie Rosati.

01:04:05I won't be anyone's substitute.

01:04:06Of course you're not her.

01:04:07You don't even

01:04:07come close to her.

01:04:09Then get out!

01:04:10You've pissed me off.

01:04:11You think I'll just

01:04:11let you go?

01:04:13Look at yourself.

01:04:15I want you to see

01:04:15yourself humiliated.

01:04:17Julian,

01:04:17you are such a bastard.

01:04:23Phoenix.

01:04:23Just you wait,

01:04:24you bastard.

01:04:25One day,

01:04:26I'll have my revenge.

01:04:29What?

01:04:30That bitch

01:04:30should be Julian's enemy!

01:04:32How could they-

01:04:32Don't worry.

01:04:33I think Mr. Oresaway

01:04:34just wants to humiliate her.

01:04:35For that slut,

01:04:36I'd be Julian's bride.

01:04:37I want that bitch dead.

01:04:38I have a plan.

01:04:51Sir,

01:04:52the dress has been inspected.

01:04:53It's good.

01:04:54No damage was done.

01:04:55Store it in the vault

01:04:56until the day I find Phoenix.

01:04:58And

01:04:58what about Maggie?

01:04:59Well,

01:05:00I've already punished her last night.

01:05:02Send her some food.

01:05:02I don't want her to die that easily.

01:05:05Oh God!

01:05:06Julian,

01:05:06I messed up!

01:05:07It's all my fault!

01:05:08What happened?

01:05:09The access card you gave me is missing!

01:05:11What?

01:05:18He's been torturing me the entire night.

01:05:20What an animal.

01:05:20Here is your breakfast.

01:05:21Mr. Oresino personally arranged it for you.

01:05:23Don't you think a little kindness

01:05:24will make me forgive you?

01:05:25I'll settle the score with you later.

01:05:29Once I finish eating,

01:05:30I'm gonna find a way out of this hellhole.

01:05:37What's this?

01:05:38Wait,

01:05:39isn't this card?

01:05:44So it really was you!

01:05:46You're out of your mind.

01:05:47How dare you steal this!

01:05:48If this card is the same one

01:05:49I gave that boy back then,

01:05:50then let me see it.

01:05:51I thought you'd behave after last night.

01:05:53It seems that you still have a death wish!

01:05:54I just want one look!

01:05:55I only need to confirm one thing!

01:05:57I just want one look!

01:05:58I only need to confirm one thing!

01:05:58I just want one look!

01:06:05I just want one look!

01:06:08I just want one look!

01:06:08Well, I shouldn't be surprised.

01:06:10Julian is such a ruthless person.

01:06:11How could he be the brave boy from back then?

01:06:13This is the access card

01:06:14to the Oreski family arsenal!

01:06:15How dare you steal it!

01:06:16What are you planning to do?

01:06:17I just picked it up off the floor!

01:06:18If you didn't steal it,

01:06:18why would it be in your room?

01:06:19I don't know!

01:06:20I just got here!

01:06:20Where would I steal it from?

01:06:21You really are an idiot!

01:06:22Julian, this is all my fault!

01:06:24I thought Maggie was already part of our family,

01:06:26so I didn't keep my guard up against her!

01:06:28How could this be your fault?

01:06:29You're just too naive!

01:06:30This bitch is using you!

01:06:31You think she's naive?

01:06:33And I'm using her?

01:06:34God!

01:06:35What's wrong with you?

01:06:37Looks like you still haven't realized your place now.

01:06:39I know my place better than you do!

01:06:40I'm just a slave in this hellhole!

01:06:41You know, I hope I did steal that card!

01:06:43I hope I took weapons from your arsenal!

01:06:44And I hope I kill every last one of you!

01:06:47You!

01:06:47Take her to the dungeon!

01:06:49It's time she faces real punishment!

01:06:50I'm gonna let her know how savage we are!

01:06:52Yes, boss!

01:06:53Yes!

01:06:54Yes!

01:06:55Yes!

01:06:57I have other things to do.

01:07:00You don't have to know the toughest men can't last an hour in the Orizi dungeon.

01:07:03She'll surely die there this time.

01:07:04Are...

01:07:05Are you serious?

01:07:06What is all of this?

01:07:07My advice, don't ask.

01:07:08The more you know, the more scared you get.

01:07:11You're lucky.

01:07:12The Orizi family has no punishments for women.

01:07:14What?

01:07:15Looks like I'll have to improvise them.

01:07:17No!

01:07:17Please don't!

01:07:18No!

01:07:19No!

01:07:20No!

01:07:21No!

01:07:23No!

01:07:25No!

01:07:26Look at you, scared like a rabbit.

01:07:29You'll stay here for the next couple of days.

01:07:30I hope you will soon know your place.

01:07:42Savages.

01:07:43Perfect to defend myself with.

01:07:45Nothing can be heard.

01:07:47Looks like that little bitch is already tortured to death.

01:07:56Why is she still alive?

01:07:58Well, isn't this the naive Elizabeth?

01:08:01Can't wait to see me tortured, huh?

01:08:03You.

01:08:05Hey, I hear you're good at pleasing men, right?

01:08:08Use whatever tricks you want on her.

01:08:10Go ahead.

01:08:15One more step, and I'll kill myself, no matter what.

01:08:19I'm Julian's wife now.

01:08:21If anything happens to me, let's see how are you going to explain to him.

01:08:25You filthy bitch!

01:08:27How dare you call yourself Julian's wife!

01:08:29You're nothing but a slave!

01:08:30Now I get it.

01:08:32I was wondering why you were trying to set me up.

01:08:35You want to marry him.

01:08:38Shut up!

01:08:39How pathetic.

01:08:41He'd rather marry me than you.

01:08:46Do what you're here to do!

01:08:48Now!

01:08:55No, stop!

01:08:56You savages!

01:08:57Mr. Orizi is here!

01:09:01Happy birthday to you!

01:09:04Happy birthday, my boy.

01:09:06Go on, make a wish.

01:09:06I wish to lead the Orsani family

01:09:08and rule the city with you, Dad.

01:09:10If your mother was still here,

01:09:11she'd be so proud.

01:09:12Forosini!

01:09:13Hold the blood!

01:09:14Carry the name!

01:09:18The Rosossi family sends their regards.

01:09:27The party is over.

01:09:28The Orsani family is yours now.

01:09:47Can I count on you?

01:09:50You picked the wrong day to fuck father, bastards!

01:09:55Glenn Orsani, pathetic.

01:09:57I hope your son loved my birthday gift.

01:09:59Revenge my father.

01:10:00I promise.

01:10:02I promise.

01:10:24Miss Rosetti, please come out.

01:10:25Now, time to leave.

01:10:26Yeah, right.

01:10:27All they ever do is lock me in that boring old manor.

01:10:29I'm done with it.

01:10:33Can I help you?

01:10:34I'm looking for a girl.

01:10:35This is the kitchen.

01:10:36I don't see any girl here.

01:10:40Who are you?

01:10:44Are you okay?

01:10:45You're bleeding.

01:10:46Not your problem.

01:10:48Excuse me?

01:10:49Do you even know who you're talking to?

01:10:58You didn't answer me.

01:10:59Who are you?

01:11:02My name is...

01:11:03The Pablos is not our turf.

01:11:04We just take a short ride.

01:11:06If someone finds out who you are,

01:11:07we'll be in real trouble.

01:11:08My name is Mary.

01:11:09What are you doing here?

01:11:10Are you...

01:11:11a Rosati?

01:11:13What if I am...

01:11:15That Orsini kid,

01:11:16he's gone now.

01:11:18Forget it.

01:11:19You've caused enough trouble tonight.

01:11:22I hope we'll meet again someday.

01:11:27Boss,

01:11:28all the Rosati family present today

01:11:30have been eliminated.

01:11:31Good job.

01:11:32Share all seized property to our lads.

01:11:34Yes, boss.

01:11:38Mary,

01:11:38or should I call you Phoenix?

01:11:40I finally avenged my family.

01:11:42Where are you now?

01:11:43When will I find you?

01:11:48This is the last day of my life.

01:11:50We may never see each other again.

01:11:52My dear love.

01:11:57This is Maggie Rosati.

01:11:59Hairress to the Rosati family.

01:12:01Then why is she still alive?

01:12:03Boss,

01:12:03you made the rule

01:12:04no killing women or children.

01:12:06So...

01:12:06She's a Rosati.

01:12:07I swore I'd wipe out

01:12:08every last one of them.

01:12:12Close your eyes.

01:12:13What?

01:12:14Can't kill me while I'm looking at you?

01:12:15I'm trying to leave you some dignity.

01:12:17I don't want to see you wet yourself,

01:12:18but if she's like...

01:12:18If you're gonna do it,

01:12:19just do it.

01:12:22Enough!

01:12:23Enough is enough, Julian.

01:12:25And I thought I taught you.

01:12:26Never go too far.

01:12:27This is my revenge for my family.

01:12:29It's never enough.

01:12:29You know how much I sacrificed

01:12:30for this day.

01:12:31Then you've already done it, my boy.

01:12:33No.

01:12:34Not yet.

01:12:37Julian.

01:12:38Let me put it this way.

01:12:40She's about to be your wife.

01:12:42You wouldn't hurt your own wife, right?

01:12:44What?

01:12:47Me?

01:12:48Marry her?

01:12:49She's the daughter of my enemy!

01:12:50If you're going to kill me,

01:12:51just do it.

01:12:52Don't humiliate me like this.

01:12:53Julian,

01:12:54your families have been

01:12:55at each other's totes for years.

01:12:56You've thrown the whole city

01:12:57into chaos.

01:12:58It's time to end it up.

01:12:59The only way this feud ends,

01:13:01for good,

01:13:01is if you marry her.

01:13:03It'll never end.

01:13:03I'll wipe every last Rosenthal.

01:13:05How dare you speak

01:13:05to your godfather like that?

01:13:06What I said was not a suggestion.

01:13:07It was an order!

01:13:08My men just came out of a battle.

01:13:10This isn't the time to confront.

01:13:12You've got me wrong, godfather.

01:13:13Of course I'll do as you say.

01:13:17Go hug your wife.

01:13:19Show your commitment.

01:13:20Of course.

01:13:23You guys are sick!

01:13:26That's my boy.

01:13:27I think you'll enjoy your marriage.

01:13:29Boss,

01:13:30he's humiliating you.

01:13:31He's doing this because

01:13:32you're getting stronger

01:13:32and he wants to keep you in check.

01:13:34How long are we going to

01:13:35let this go on?

01:13:35No rush.

01:13:37I've got plans for him.

01:13:39Don't think you're getting away with it.

01:13:40I have plenty of ways

01:13:41to torture you.

01:13:46I'll survive.

01:13:47Only by staying alive

01:13:48can I get my revenge.

01:13:50Phoenix,

01:13:51I've been looking for you

01:13:52all these years.

01:13:53I had this dress made

01:13:54just for you,

01:13:55waiting for you to come back.

01:13:58Where are you?

01:13:59We've searched the whole city,

01:14:00but we still can't find a girl

01:14:01with a white phoenix birthmark.

01:14:02Keep looking!

01:14:03She's the only one

01:14:04I've ever loved!

01:14:07Julian,

01:14:08I knew you'd marry me.

01:14:08I've been waiting so long.

01:14:10Now that you have your revenge,

01:14:11we can finally be together.

01:14:13You've always been

01:14:14like a sister to me.

01:14:15How could I marry you?

01:14:16Besides,

01:14:16I'm about to marry

01:14:17Maggie Rosenti.

01:14:19Wait!

01:14:20That dress is for her?

01:14:21The only woman

01:14:21worthy of that dress

01:14:22is Phoenix.

01:14:23That Phoenix again.

01:14:24After all these years,

01:14:25she's still on his mind.

01:14:26I'm tired.

01:14:27I'm heading to bed.

01:14:28All right.

01:14:29Good night.

01:14:30Anyone who tries

01:14:30to take Julian from me

01:14:31will die,

01:14:32starting with you,

01:14:33Maggie Rosari.

01:14:34I'm sorry,

01:14:35my dear love.

01:14:35To survive,

01:14:36I have to get married.

01:14:37I just wish it were you instead.

01:14:38Miss Rossetti,

01:14:39here's your wedding dress.

01:14:40Mr. Orsino had it made

01:14:40just for you.

01:14:42Didn't he swear

01:14:42he was going to torture me?

01:14:43Why would he give me

01:14:44something so extravagant?

01:14:45Mr. Orsino may sound heartless,

01:14:47but everybody knows

01:14:47he's such a gentleman.

01:14:51Julian looks like

01:14:52he's at a funeral,

01:14:53not his wedding.

01:14:54Shut up.

01:14:54The bride's a Rossoni.

01:14:55How's he supposed to look happy?

01:14:56Yeah, but have you seen

01:14:57how hot she is?

01:14:58Boss,

01:14:58everyone's watching.

01:14:59At least try to look

01:15:00a little less miserable.

01:15:01It's your wedding.

01:15:01Just thinking about that

01:15:02Rossetti woman

01:15:03makes me want to throw up.

01:15:04The bride is here!

01:15:10I'm getting you out of here.

01:15:11I swear.

01:15:14Phoenix,

01:15:15is that you?

01:15:16Are you out of your mind?

01:15:17Of course you're nothing like her.

01:15:19You're not even close.

01:15:20So you had a lover.

01:15:21How sad.

01:15:22Does she know

01:15:23how ruthless you are?

01:15:24Shut up!

01:15:24You're just a cheap Rossini.

01:15:25You don't get to talk about her!

01:15:30This wedding dress.

01:15:32How dare you wear this?

01:15:33What's your problem?

01:15:34Let go of me!

01:15:37Take it off!

01:15:38Now!

01:15:40That's the wedding dress

01:15:41I prepared for my only love.

01:15:43Take it off.

01:15:44Now.

01:15:47She handed it to me!

01:15:48Boss,

01:15:49she's lying!

01:15:50She insisted on trying it.

01:15:51We couldn't stop her!

01:15:53You liar!

01:15:54You said it was for me!

01:15:56Are you drunk?

01:15:57For God's sake,

01:15:58you're a Rossini.

01:15:59How on earth

01:16:00would I prepare anything for you?

01:16:02She only wanted to wear it

01:16:03to please you.

01:16:05She thinks if she looks cute enough,

01:16:06you'll love her.

01:16:07Exactly.

01:16:08So now you're trying to lure me.

01:16:10Classic Rossini,

01:16:10doing whatever it takes

01:16:11to get what you want.

01:16:13I see.

01:16:14You two snakes.

01:16:15Don't flatter yourself.

01:16:16Not everyone wants your pity.

01:16:18I'm the airndress of the Rossini.

01:16:19I've worn dresses

01:16:20way better than this.

01:16:23What the hell are you doing?

01:16:25Don't you want me to take it off?

01:16:26Enough!

01:16:31Do your thing.

01:16:32Today we gather before God

01:16:33and these witnesses...

01:16:34Like I have a choice.

01:16:35I do.

01:16:36You may now kiss the bride.

01:16:37I'd have to be insane

01:16:38to kiss her.

01:16:40Perfect.

01:16:42She's done.

01:16:49Why is it so hot in here?

01:16:51Must be the booze.

01:16:52Trying to act like a gentleman now?

01:16:54Shut up.

01:16:55I'm just being careful

01:16:56with the dress.

01:16:57Don't move.

01:16:57That bastard.

01:16:58He actually has a soft side?

01:17:00Damn.

01:17:00Am I out of my mind

01:17:01or this dress really does suit her?

01:17:03Wait.

01:17:03Could she be...

01:17:07Enough.

01:17:07I'll take the rest off myself.

01:17:09You can wait for me outside.

01:17:10Forget it.

01:17:10How can she be Phoenix?

01:17:12This whole house belongs to me

01:17:13and you want me to wait outside?

01:17:14Bye.
