00:00:30.
00:01:00.
00:01:01.
00:01:02.
00:01:03.
00:01:03.
00:01:04.
00:01:05.
00:01:05.
00:01:15I was matched with three beastmen from childhood.
00:01:18On my 21st birthday, I was supposed to choose one of them to bond with.
00:01:22The fox beastman, Reese, was warm and charming.
00:01:33The tiger beastman, Finn, was proud and sharp-tongued.
00:01:37The snake beastman, Kalem, had double the fun.
00:01:41By the time Kalem had me too sore to straighten my back, I saw their group chat.
00:01:45Whoever she picks is seriously unlucky. I don't like her.
00:01:49What about you two? You mangly fox. You stinking tiger. I don't like her either.
00:01:54She's always yanking my fur in bed.
00:01:56I'm practically going bald. Her sister's so much gentler, don't you think?
00:02:01Right, you dead black snake?
00:02:03Don't like her.
00:02:04She's always biting my... tail tip.
00:02:07I let out a... cold laugh.
00:02:10Perfect.
00:02:11As a fake heiress.
00:02:12They saved me from agonizing over who to pick.
00:02:17That same night, I booked a flight overseas for school.
00:02:22Forget it. I don't want any of the three of you.
00:02:26The sound of rushing water came from the bathroom.
00:02:29But what they'd said came back to me.
00:02:58I held back my... tears.
00:03:02Fifteen years of waking up beside them and it couldn't buy me one person's honest heart.
00:03:07They'd only met Sofia a handful of times.
00:03:10And they were already falling for her?
00:03:12I'd been sitting here counting down to my birthday next month, ready to give them an answer they'd be happy
00:03:18with.
00:03:18What a joke that looks like now.
00:03:20If I hadn't stumbled onto their real feelings today, I would have humiliated myself at next month's party.
00:03:26My identity was already shaky enough, being a fake heiress.
00:03:30And they were playing games with me on top of it.
00:03:34Tears welled up in my eyes.
00:03:36I was about to wipe it away when arms folded around me from behind.
00:03:40Caleb leaned in and carefully licked the tear from their cheek.
00:03:44I'm sorry sweetheart, are you warmed up?
00:03:47That's on me. We don't have to do both next time.
00:03:49I hadn't even noticed him come out of the bathroom.
00:03:52He'd just showered, still warm from the water.
00:03:55My scratches still marking his skin.
00:03:58I saw something in his eyes that looked real and not concerned.
00:04:02It made me angry.
00:04:03I shoved his hand up.
00:04:05He could say something that cruel and still act this well.
00:04:10I am upset.
00:04:12I shot him a glare over my shoulder.
00:04:15Look at him.
00:04:16Was this my fault?
00:04:18He was the one always baiting me.
00:04:20The angrier I got, the more I wanted to do something about it.
00:04:24I opened my mouth and bit down on his tail tail.
00:04:28His heart.
00:04:29Caleb let out a low grunt and pulled me closer and snapped.
00:04:34My tongue accidentally grazed the tail.
00:04:37I watched him tip his head back, jaw tight.
00:04:40I released his tail.
00:04:42I didn't look at the man behind me, breathing rough.
00:04:45The red at the corners of his eyes still not fading.
00:04:49I shoved the door open and walked out.
00:04:52Right into a burning hot chest.
00:04:55Well, well.
00:04:57What happened princess?
00:05:06Did that stupid snake leave you unsatisfied?
00:05:09Finn grinned down at me.
00:05:11Then he leaned to my ear and breathed.
00:05:14Wanna come to my room?
00:05:15Get away from me.
00:05:17I pushed him off and walked.
00:05:19Finn stared at my closed door, then turned a sharp look toward Caleb.
00:05:23You upset her?
00:05:25I didn't.
00:05:26Caleb looked just as lost.
00:05:28Did you say something to her?
00:05:30Caleb frowned.
00:05:33What's all the noise?
00:05:34Reesh leaned in the doorway.
00:05:36Talking's boring.
00:05:38Just fight it out.
00:05:39As if.
00:05:40Stop pretending to be reasonable.
00:05:42After the commotion died down, all three of them went back to their own rooms.
00:06:06I lay in bed and couldn't sleep no matter which way I turned.
00:06:10I'd spent over 20 years as the heiress of this family.
00:06:13And now, I was being told it was all fake.
00:06:15The identity wasn't mine.
00:06:17My parents' love wasn't mine.
00:06:19Everything I had belonged to Sophia.
00:06:22I was the one who stole her brilliant life.
00:06:24So, I was the one who volunteered to me.
00:06:27That's how I ended up in this villa.
00:06:28I hadn't even planned on bringing the three of them.
00:06:31They showed up on their own.
00:06:32The letter was short, bitter soon.
00:06:35My eyes went blurry.
00:06:36I bit into my pillow.
00:06:37Fake.
00:06:38All of it.
00:06:39Fake.
00:06:39The only real thing I had was my acceptance letter from the Eastmore Conservatory.
00:06:44I picked up my phone and dialed the number I had known.
00:06:46Yes, that's right.
00:06:47Move the date up.
00:06:48Just one person.
00:06:50I hadn't had the chance to tell them yet.
00:06:52Right when I got the acceptance letter, the story broke that I wasn't the Morrison's real
00:06:57daughter.
00:06:57My parents held Sophia and cried.
00:06:59I quietly picked my mother away.
00:07:02They'd hired tutors for my piano since I was small.
00:07:04They'd given me the room with the best light upstairs for a practice room.
00:07:08Every bit of skill I had came from the foundation they built for me.
00:07:12Then one day, my parents took my hands on the nurse.
00:07:15Lena, go somewhere else for a while.
00:07:18In our hearts, we're still our child.
00:07:21My mouth opened but I couldn't bring myself to mention going away.
00:07:25In the dark, I bit my lip.
00:07:27Honestly, maybe this was the better way.
00:07:29I had no reason to stay.
00:07:31No one loved me.
00:07:32But I would love myself just fine in my mind.
00:07:36I'd meant to keep my temper in check.
00:07:38Spend one last quiet month with the three of them and leave without a scene.
00:07:42But some people never let you rest.
00:07:47Finn, get out.
00:07:48Princess, what did that stupid snake do to you now?
00:07:51He acted like you hadn't heard me.
00:07:53Still upset?
00:07:54I didn't answer him.
00:07:56I don't care.
00:07:58Tonight's my turn.
00:07:59I'll make it good for you.
00:08:01I pushed him back and said it again.
00:08:03I don't want to.
00:08:06Go back to your room.
00:08:08Finn finally registered that I meant it.
00:08:10His expression fell.
00:08:12What do you mean you don't want to?
00:08:14I've been waiting days.
00:08:17I slapped him across the face.
00:08:19Get out.
00:08:20Finn held his cheek, looking at me with eyes full of wounded disbelief.
00:08:25Then he slammed the door behind me.
00:08:27The noise brought Calum and Reese into the hallway.
00:08:29Lena, he ran out.
00:08:31Leave her.
00:08:32I said it slightly.
00:08:36Outside, thunder rolled.
00:08:37The rain came down hard.
00:08:47Outside, taking the door behind me.
00:08:51Matt!inion,
00:08:52away. That whole night,
00:09:11every time I closed my eyes, I, the church would have taken for Holy Ghost.
00:09:13I thought he couldn't be. He was the most stubborn of the three. I wasn't worried about him getting
00:09:18into real trouble. High-level beastmen were capable in every sense of the word. It was just
00:09:23that this feeling of being slipping out of control wasn't him, like being drowned slowly in a tide
00:09:28of memories you couldn't fight off. The next morning, I walked out of my room with dark circles
00:09:33under my eyes. Galen was standing by my door like a guard. I startled and stepped back.
00:09:38What are you doing outside my room? He didn't answer, just looked at me with those quiet,
00:09:42searching eyes. Then he reached over and tugged on the one of my clothes. Can I come to your room
00:09:48tonight? Faced with that desperate look, I tried very hard not to roll my eyes. No. I'll wear that
00:09:56butler outfit tonight, okay? I bought a crop. Did I hurt you last time? Can you use it on me?
00:10:05I turned toward the stairs and walked along. I didn't look back at whatever he said next.
00:10:10Reese was at the bottom of the stairs, watching me with an unreadable expression. I stepped around
00:10:15him and sat down at the table. Reese paused, then came and stood behind my chair.
00:10:20Baby, aren't you forgetting something? Before, I used to give each of them a good morning kiss
00:10:25when I came down. Right now, I said done. Eat.
00:10:30Reese and Galen exchanged a look behind me. Then they quietly pulled out their chairs. Halfway through
00:10:36the meal, the front door banged open. I felt my eye twitch before I even saw who it was.
00:10:41Sophia walked in behind Finn, both of them about something. Sophia wrapped herself around
00:10:47my arm like we were close. Selena, the clothes in your room are all so pretty, but I thought
00:10:52someone else already wore them, so that's kind of gross, right? So I threw them all out.
00:10:58You don't mind, do you? I mean, after all these years of living so well.
00:11:11The air in the room went straight. I pulled her hand off my arm without changing my expression.
00:11:18I don't need them. I don't need them. I said it and glanced at the three beastmen. Their
00:11:24eyes were all on Sophia. Finn, in particular, was watching me with an almost defiant look.
00:11:30Lena, Sophia wants to stay here a few days. You don't have a problem with that, do you?
00:11:34I looked straight at Finn. The others watched my face for a reaction. Finn's eyes slid away
00:11:39from mine. Last night, if I hadn't ran into Sophia, I would have been out in that rain all night.
00:11:43You didn't even- Sure. I smiled and turned to Sophia before any of them could react.
00:11:47Stay as long as you want, little sister. Feel free to pick any room you like.
00:12:05And including nerves.
00:12:07Lena!
00:12:08All three said my name at the same time.
00:12:10What are you saying? No one goes in our rooms.
00:12:15Sweetheart, did that tiger make you lose your mind? He's awful. We don't need him.
00:12:20Finn looked like he had a lot to say but couldn't. He said it quietly then shot Russel up.
00:12:26I didn't bother with any of them. I grabbed my things and took the car out alone.
00:12:30No one came with me.
00:12:32At the bar, my friend Kasich pulled me into her side.
00:12:35What's going on, princess?
00:12:37I swirled my cocktail. Don't call me that. I'm a fake and everything I have is someone else's.
00:12:43I knocked the drink back. The burn hit my throat.
00:12:46All of it.
00:12:46Don't say that. You're my best friend.
00:12:49That's got nothing to do with where you come from.
00:12:52I leaned on Cassie's shoulder.
00:12:56What's got you so miserable? You've got three beastmen at home. Can't they cheer you up?
00:13:00She laughed a little.
00:13:01Don't mention them. They give me a headache.
00:13:07One hundred. Therained movement in her headか donít.
00:13:09My phone kept going on. Messages and calls from all three of them.
00:13:13I didn't pick up one.
00:13:17By the time I got home, my steps weren't quite steady.
00:13:22I had barely opened the door when hands gripped my shoulders.
00:13:27One hundred. Therained movement in her head.
00:13:31lena why didn't you answer your phone halen's voice was right in my ear tight with worry you

00:20:14i wasn't exactly eager
00:20:16i barely touched the door handle before it flew open
00:20:19finn scooped me up and dropped me onto the bed
00:20:21he searched for my lips urgently
00:20:23and when he found them
00:20:24a low relieved sound left him
00:20:27his hands moved under my clothes setting fires
00:20:30lena you're such a bad girl
00:20:32his eyes had gone red
00:20:33his ears and tail already showing in the half-shifted state
00:20:38finn
00:20:38calm down
00:20:39i pushed his head back

00:21:24i worked his tail with my hands
00:21:28not enough
00:21:29lower
00:21:30by the time my hands were too tired to keep going
00:21:33finn pressed a kiss to the top of my head
00:21:36lena
00:21:36you'll choose me
00:21:38won't you
00:21:39i could barely keep my eyes open
00:21:41what had gotten into all three of them
00:21:43coming to ask me that one after another
00:21:45i kissed his lips
00:21:47of course
00:21:48desire moved through finn's eyes
00:21:50possessive and searching
00:21:52landing on my mouth
00:21:53good
00:21:55when the time comes
00:21:56i'm collecting everything with interest
00:21:58one week left before my birthday
00:22:00the four of us held ourselves in a strange fragile calm
00:22:04on the day of the party
00:22:05i wore a deep plum strapless gown with a fishtail hem
00:22:09the three beast men looked at me like they were trying to see straight through the fabric
00:22:13i pretended not to notice and got into the car with them
00:22:16under normal circumstances
00:22:17the identity of a fake heiress wouldn't warrant such a formal event
00:22:21but everything had been arranged far in advance
00:22:24and business contacts were already coming to network
00:22:26my parents also weren't willing to write off their investment in me
00:22:30so the party continued
00:22:31at the estate
00:22:32i moved through the crowd with a composed smile
00:22:35my mother came over
00:22:36a touch of apology on her face
00:22:39lena
00:22:39you've been away so long
00:22:40your father and i aren't trying to push you out
00:22:43i just get along with your sister
00:23:01i'm fine mom
00:23:02i looked down and kept my voice level
00:23:04she touched my hair
00:23:05tonight's your birthday
00:23:07keep your composure
00:23:08have you thought about your decision with the beast men
00:23:11don't worry
00:23:11i'll give you an answer you're satisfied with
00:23:13i took a glass of champagne
00:23:15looked up and locked eyes with sophia across the room
00:23:18i smiled and lifted my glass to her
00:23:21be grateful little sister
00:23:22i'm not fighting you for a single thing
00:23:24i stood on the balcony and made a call
00:23:26is everything loaded and ready
00:23:28yes
00:23:28wait at the front gate
00:23:30i should be out by 10 if nothing goes wrong
00:23:32don't forget extra security
00:23:33the door opened behind me
00:23:34i ended the call quickly
00:23:35then arms came around me from behind
00:23:38lena i'm so happy
00:23:39reese looked at me with soft burning eyes
00:23:42you'll choose me won't you
00:23:44maybe it was just my imagination
00:23:46but i thought i saw longing and a hint of humility in his eyes
00:23:50little fox don't you trust me at all
00:23:52i smiled and patted his head
00:23:54he leaned in eager to kiss me
00:23:56don't
00:23:57my makeup
00:23:58reese followed me back into the hall
00:24:00if he'd had his tail out right now
00:24:02it would have been wagging
00:24:07under the attention of the room
00:24:09i stepped up onto the stage
00:24:11the hall quieted
00:24:12the lights came down on me
00:24:14my parents and sophia stood at the front
00:24:17closest to the stage
00:24:18calem reese and finn stood below it
00:24:21i looked at them one more time
00:24:23before i began to speak
00:24:24the dim light fell across their faces
00:24:26so i didn't see what was written there
00:24:28three faces wearing the same expression
00:24:31a sick consuming need to possess
00:24:35good evening everyone
00:24:37thank you for being here
00:24:38before i give my formal remarks
00:24:40i have something i'd like to say
00:24:45first i'm sure you're all aware by now
00:24:47that i'm not the morrison's biological daughter
00:24:51that's something that saddens me deeply
00:24:54i spent 20 years in a life that belonged to sophia
00:24:57and i am truly sorry for that
00:24:59the hall filled with murmuring
00:25:01no one had expected me to say it here
00:25:04like this
00:25:05my parents expressions faltered
00:25:07my mother gave me a warning look
00:25:10i returned it with something steady and reassuring
00:25:18she'd been my mother for 20 years
00:25:20she knew what i was doing
00:25:21i'm deeply grateful to the morrison family for raising me
00:25:24and in my eyes they will always be my parents
00:25:27wherever they need me
00:25:28i will always show up for them
00:25:31but sophia did suffer because of me
00:25:33and i want to do everything in my power to make that right
00:25:39as you all know today is the day i meant to choose a partner from the three beastmen i was
00:25:43matched with at birth
00:25:45they are all exceptional
00:25:46i mention this not to boast
00:25:49because in truth everything i have always belonged to sophia
00:25:53only old money families had the resources to arrange beastman matches from childhood
00:25:58it wasn't available to most people
00:26:00i paused
00:26:01sophia's expression had gone slightly blank
00:26:03downstage all three beastmen had gone pale
00:26:06therefore
00:26:07i raised my voice
00:26:08i am releasing all three of my beastmen to sophia
00:26:14i won't be claiming any of them
00:26:16the hall roared
00:26:17my parents and sophia were on their feet
00:26:20sophia's eyes blazed with something like joy
00:26:24you promised me
00:26:26you can't lie to me
00:26:28his voice broke
00:26:29tinged with tears
00:26:33calem and reese came running toward me like they'd gone mad
00:26:55i raised a hand the guards i'd placed moved in front of me
00:26:58i ran off the stage cut through the commotion and was out of the estate before anyone could stop me
00:27:03i got into the waiting car
00:27:07that's my girl
00:27:09i watched the live stream
00:27:11drive
00:27:12i said it immediately
00:27:13the three of them had already made it outside
00:27:15disheveled
00:27:16nothing left of their polished composure from an hour ago
00:27:19they were faster than i expected
00:27:21the car sped up
00:27:22but they ran behind it and didn't stop
00:27:24beastmen's speed was no joke
00:27:26they could outrun a car on foot
00:27:28calem slapped my window
00:27:29his voice breaking
00:27:30lena
00:27:31don't leave me
00:27:32you promised
00:27:34then tried to cut off the car
00:27:36the chassis lurched as they grabbed it
00:27:38oh my god they're insane
00:27:39they're absolutely insane
00:27:41cassie screamed and clung to my arm
00:27:43do something
00:27:45almost
00:27:46just as the tires were close to screaming
00:27:48the roar of motorcycles cut through from the side
00:27:51my guards pulled up alongside
00:27:53great guns in hand
00:27:54each of the three got a shot
00:27:56their pace slowed
00:27:57then they fell onto the road
00:28:18they could only watch as i drove away
00:28:21where did you even find those people
00:28:23cassie pressed herself against the rear window
00:28:25i pressed my fingers to my brow and let out a breath
00:28:29money
00:28:30what can it do
00:28:33and just like that
00:28:34i left a mess behind me and went abroad
00:28:36i enrolled at the conservatory and became a student of maestro harland
00:28:41i had talent to begin with
00:28:43four years of hard work and i'd quietly built a name for myself in music
00:28:48performing across countries and cities
00:28:50constant travel had become my normal
00:28:53my parents hadn't let what happened push them away from me
00:28:56they were practical people
00:28:58the morrison family's eldest daughter
00:29:01lena morrison
00:29:02world-class concert pianist
00:29:04a name like that was worth something to the family
00:29:07that was enough
00:29:09i'd had no word of the three of them in years
00:29:12as if the night they lost their minds chasing my car never happened at all
00:29:16maybe they'd gotten exactly what they wanted
00:29:18maybe they were with the one they'd loved
00:29:21but that had nothing to do with me anymore
00:29:23once i walked away
00:29:24there was no going back
00:29:26the plane touched down and my thoughts came back to me
00:29:29i put on my sunglasses and walked out of the airport
00:29:32a wall of reporters pushed microphones toward me
00:29:36miss morrison what brings you back this time
00:29:37you've been gone four years since you left without a word
00:29:39are you here to reclaim what's yours
00:29:58you're still recognized as the morrison family's eldest daughter
00:30:01are you coming back to contest the inheritance with your sister
00:30:03you've accomplished so much can you say a word
00:30:05i took off my sunglasses and looked at them with a calm smile
00:30:09i'm here to perform at an invitationomal piano recital
00:30:12my relationship with the morrison family is good
00:30:14it's nothing like what you're imagining
00:30:16miss morrison
00:30:17the three elite beastmen who grew up alongside you
00:30:20why did you give them up
00:30:22they've each made a name for themselves since then
00:30:24in finance entertainment and medicine
00:30:27did they do something to betray you
00:30:28can you share anything
00:30:29you refused to bond with them at your birthday
00:30:31was it exhaustion or something you couldn't say out loud
00:30:34then i said evenly
00:30:35unimportant people
00:30:37i forgot them a long time ago
00:30:39then i got in and drove away
00:30:42back at the villa
00:30:43everything felt so familiar that it almost felt like another lifetime
00:30:52my phone rang while i was sitting on the bed staring at nothing
00:30:56hi mom
00:30:57lena
00:30:57why didn't you come straight home
00:30:59i turned something over in my fingers
00:31:01a single white hair
00:31:03i wanted to settle in first
00:31:05i'll be over tonight
00:31:15come soon we've been waiting
00:31:18you're always so busy it's been so long
00:31:20we want a proper conversation tonight
00:31:22okay
00:31:22i'll head over now
00:31:23i hung up and lay back on the bed
00:31:25i frowned at the ceiling
00:31:27genuinely puzzled
00:31:28four years of housekeeping
00:31:30and they still hadn't managed to get rid of every trace of them
00:31:34the house was full of warmth when i arrived
00:31:38lena
00:31:39my mother ran to me and held my face in her hands
00:31:42you've lost weight
00:31:42the food abroad isn't any good is it
00:31:44come come cook has made all your favorites
00:31:48thank you mom
00:31:49i brought gifts back from overseas for everyone
00:31:52you and dad and sophia
00:31:54you've gone formal on us going away for a few years
00:31:57we made small talk and i sat down
00:32:00as luck would have it
00:32:02right next to sophia
00:32:03four years
00:32:04word was she'd already been placed into a role at our father's company
00:32:08sophia tapped the table with her diamond-tipped nails
00:32:11lena
00:32:13long time no see
00:32:14long time no see
00:32:16i looked her over
00:32:23four years of comfortable living had done a lot for her
00:32:27she sparkled carried herself differently than i remembered
00:32:30you left quite gracefully back then
00:32:32sophia said
00:32:33made me look bad you know
00:32:35tone hard to read
00:32:36i took a sip of water and genuinely didn't know what to make of that
00:32:39i'd handed her three top-tier beastmen
00:32:42by any measure that was a gain
00:32:44was she upset they'd been touched by someone else first
00:32:47that seemed petty
00:32:48it wasn't that kind of era anymore
00:32:50that's enough don't bring it up
00:32:51lena
00:32:52now that you're back are you planning to stay
00:32:55she's not going anywhere
00:32:56we're gonna find her a good match
00:32:58and settle her
00:32:59i hadn't even answered when my mother cut in
00:33:02i poked at the fish in my bowl
00:33:04mom that's really not something you need to do for me
00:33:06i spent years grinding to get where i am
00:33:09i didn't do that just to become someone's wife
00:33:12i still have places to go and things to see
00:33:17my mother went quiet
00:33:19she looked at me for a moment
00:33:21then her smile faded slowly
00:33:47she was distracted for the rest of the meal
00:33:49after dinner my father called me into a study
00:33:52he transferred a portion of the company shares into my name
00:33:57the condition was that i continue as a public ambassador for the brand
00:34:01sophia had a rough childhood
00:34:03so she'll take the larger share of the company
00:34:06any objections
00:34:07i've already begun training her in management
00:34:10no objection
00:34:11i looked out calmly at the dark evening
00:34:14and thought of the sky above lake takapo in new zealand
00:34:17that absolute clean kind of dark
00:34:20nothing like here
00:34:21my father let out a long breath
00:34:23he seemed like he had more to say
00:34:25you were always too headstrong
00:34:28if you'd stayed and fought back then
00:34:29things might have been different
00:34:30thank you dad
00:34:32but i only want to play piano
00:34:34i'm not going to fight sophia for anything
00:34:37i pulled the door open to leave
00:34:39and found sophia standing right outside it
00:34:41i glanced at her and went downstairs
00:34:44wait
00:34:45sophia followed
00:34:46then stopped in front of me
00:34:47with an oddly uncomfortable expression
00:34:49did you mean what you said in there
00:34:51of course
00:34:52i have my own career now
00:34:54i have no interest in the company
00:34:57you'd better mean it
00:34:58sophia said lifting her chin
00:35:00and by the way
00:35:01your beastman refused to go with me no matter what
00:35:08i never touched them
00:35:14that sentence made me stop breathing for a second
00:35:17then i pulled myself back together
00:35:18that has nothing to do with me anymore
00:35:20it's their choice
00:35:23what do you mean
00:35:24sophia looked genuinely puzzled
00:35:26i have nothing to do with those three
00:35:27they're terrifying
00:35:29i don't know how you ever liked that type
00:35:32when you left
00:35:33they nearly came apart
00:35:34she paused
00:35:37oh actually
00:35:38you should just hear it from them
00:35:39here they come
00:35:40i looked into the living room
00:35:42there they were
00:35:43four years
00:35:44and none of them looked much different
00:35:47if what sophia said was true
00:35:49and she'd never taken them
00:35:50they would have been processed
00:35:51by the beastman registry
00:35:53and placed into work
00:35:57independently
00:35:57not a hardship for them
00:35:59they'd always been in elite programs
00:36:01even back in school
00:36:02in their own specialized tracks
00:36:04alongside my international curriculum
00:36:06trained to the highest standard
00:36:08in everything
00:36:09lena
00:36:10calem spoke first
00:36:11his eyes were fixed on me
00:36:13hurt
00:36:14and hoping
00:36:20i changed direction
00:36:21and walked toward the door
00:36:22i have nothing to say to any of you
00:36:27what's done is done
00:36:28don't come looking for me again
00:36:30i got in the car
00:36:31and left
00:36:32when i got home
00:36:33i went straight to the piano room
00:36:35and played for hours
00:36:36before i finally stopped
00:36:38breathing hard
00:36:39sophia's words kept circling in my head
00:36:42was she lying to me
00:36:43but what would she gain from that
00:36:45if what she said is true
00:36:47then what happened back then
00:36:48was a misunderstanding
00:36:49so what made them say something that cruel
00:36:52i couldn't work it out
00:36:53i poured a glass of red wine
00:36:55and sat in the armchair
00:36:56by the floor-to-ceiling window
00:36:58shadows moved outside
00:36:59then were still
00:37:00i narrowed my eyes
00:37:02then picked up my phone
00:37:03add extra guards outside
00:37:04everyone keeps a tramp gun on hand
00:37:06after that
00:37:06i went contentedly to sleep
00:37:08i woke up because i couldn't breathe
00:37:10when i finally got my eyes open
00:37:12i was wrapped up tight in someone's arms
00:37:15i knew it
00:37:16let go
00:37:17i said it through my teeth
00:37:25finn was the closest one
00:37:26his face lifting from where it had been pressed against my neck
00:37:29lena
00:37:30if i let go are you gonna run again
00:37:31reese had his arm around my waist
00:37:33his large tail looped around my legs
00:37:36baby

00:37:38you actually said that
00:37:40you promised me
00:37:41kalem's arms encircled me from behind
00:37:43i'm sorry
00:37:44the dark tail tip grazing my lips
00:37:46please this time don't leave me
00:37:47you can bite me if you want

00:37:59they pressed in again
00:38:01hot lips touched the back of my neck
00:38:04lena
00:38:05four years
00:38:06do you know what these four years were like for me
00:38:08i clenched my fist

00:38:12you both loved sophia so much

00:38:23that's not it
