00:01I keep having the same strange dream
00:05In the dream, a man and I are drawn together by an invisible force
00:12Every night we can't resist the pull
00:15But I don't know him
00:17Later, I reported a female classmate for cheating on an exam, almost causing her to fail to graduate
00:24The classmate was furious and called her powerful and influential alpha uncle for backup
00:30Everyone thought I was done for
00:34I looked up and saw the man
00:39In that moment, I knew I was done
00:43Last night in the dream, I kissed him so hard that I made his lip bleed
00:49Wait, why does he actually have a cut on his lip?
00:54The moment Terry Lowe appeared, I thought I was dreaming again
00:57I had to pinch my thigh hard to be sure it wasn't a dream
01:02Kathleen Lowe stood beside him, gloating
01:05Aria Foster
01:07My uncle is here
01:09It's not too late for you to apologize to me
01:12I wasn't listening to her at all, just staring at Terry's face
01:16How could this be?
01:17He was the spitting image of the man from my dreams
01:20The striking features
01:22The impeccable suit
01:23Worst of all, his mouth
01:25There was a speck of red on the corner of his lip
01:28Exactly where I'd bitten it in my dream last night
01:31Is this a coincidence?
01:34Aria, are you even listening to me?
01:36Kathleen was getting impatient, raising her voice
01:38I told you to apologize
01:40I also want a public statement that your accusation about me hiring a surrogate for the exam
01:45Was pure slander
01:46You were just trying to smear my name
01:48I pulled my gaze away and looked at the belligerent Kathleen
01:51I refuse
01:54Are you crazy?
01:56Do you have any idea who my uncle is?
01:58He's Alpha of the lower pack
02:01With just a snap of his fingers
02:03That offer you just got from PrimeCore will be gone
02:06Then you'll be blacklisted by several companies
02:09And you'll be completely finished
02:11Then let me be finished
02:13I raised my head
02:15Met Terry's eyes and said word by word
02:18No matter what
02:20I will not back down
02:24Coming out of the faculty office
02:26The students around me guiltily avoided me
02:29Not just guilt
02:31Something else hung in the air
02:34A pressure that made the wolves instinctively give way
02:37Like a draft pushing them to the edges of the corridor
02:40I couldn't smell the Alpha's scent lingering there
02:44I was human
02:45But I felt
02:46My roommate hurried after me
02:49Her voice low
02:51Why are you doing this to yourself?
02:54She's a pure-blood wolf
02:55Her uncle is Alpha
02:58We're about to graduate
02:59Just endure it and it'll be over
03:01You can endure it if you want
03:04I won't
03:05Her uncle has power we can't even imagine
03:09That's not what you said when she copied your paper?
03:11My roommate choked
03:12Kathleen had been bullying me since freshman year
03:15The reason was almost too stupid to believe
03:18She had a crush on a senior
03:20One day I happened to wear the same jacket as him
03:23And people started teasing us
03:25The senior just smiled and said three words
03:27My pleasure
03:29That was it
03:30That was enough for Kathleen to hate me
03:33She'd crushed on plenty of guys since then
03:36Her hatred for me was the only thing that never changed
03:41Back in the dorm
03:42I kept sorting evidence of Kathleen's cheating
03:45Around me
03:46My roommates were already deep in gossip
03:51Did you guys see Terry today?
03:54He's even younger than I thought
03:57I heard he became Alpha at 22
04:00Took down three heirs who challenged him
04:04Three against one and he walked out
04:06They didn't
04:08Someone like him?
04:10He's got a mate somewhere, right?
04:12Alpha that strong?
04:14Has to
04:14I heard mate bonds show up in dreams
04:17Two souls connected
04:19Inescapable
04:23Unless you go through formal rejection
04:26And that ritual can cost you half your life
04:28I stared at the screen in front of me
04:30Not seeing a single word
04:33Those dreams
04:35The man who shed his impeccable suit
04:38The way I let go of everything when I was with him
04:42No
04:42No way
04:43I was just a human who'd glanced at his photo somewhere and forgotten
04:48Wasn't I?
04:49But before today
04:50I'd never even heard Terry Lowe's name
04:53So how had I been dreaming about him every night?
04:56Unless
04:58I didn't sleep until almost dawn
05:01I'd convinced myself
05:03I must have seen his photo without realizing
05:06My subconscious remembered and fed it back in my dreams
05:09The cut on his lip
05:11Pure coincidence
05:13At noon
05:14My roommate shook me awake
05:16Aria
05:17Stop sleeping
05:19Someone's here for you
05:21Who?
05:22Terry
05:22My eyes snapped open
05:25He's right downstairs
05:26You'd better hurry
05:27I washed up fast and went down
05:29Terry stood in the corner of the dorm courtyard
05:32Not leaning against the wall
05:34Not leaning against the wall
05:35Just standing
05:36There was a pocket of empty space around him that no one entered
05:40Wolves kept a half meter distance without seeming to realize they were doing it
05:44He looked me over
05:46Sleepless night?
05:48A jolt shot through my ears
05:49I'd wondered
05:51So many nights
05:52What his voice would sound like
05:54Now I knew
05:55Deep, quiet
05:56Something magnetic under the surface of that I couldn't name
06:00How did you know?
06:02You have pretty bad dark circles today
06:06Oh
06:09What do you want from me?
06:11I heard from Kathleen that you plan to post what she did online
06:14If the school continues to cover for her
06:17I will
06:21Terry held my gaze for a moment
06:23The council is watching
06:25If Kathleen's scandal breaks
06:28It weakens the PAC's position
06:30Name your terms
06:32What would it take for you to let this go?
06:35No
06:36I refused without hesitating
06:39Bow to people like you once
06:41And you can never get back up again
06:44People like us?
06:46His eyebrow lifted
06:47Like the phrase genuinely didn't compute
06:50Yes
06:50Your kind
06:53Wolves born with a PAC behind you
06:55Everyone steps aside before you even open your mouth
07:00Humans like me
07:02We're just creatures at the bottom of your food chain
07:04He didn't get angry
07:06He went quiet for a moment
07:08Then asked something strange
07:10Is that really how you see me?
07:12You and Kathleen are one big happy PAC
07:16With a niece like that?
07:18How could you possibly be a good alpha?
07:22I turned and headed upstairs
07:24Aria Foster
07:28What else?
07:30He paused
07:31Then said quiet
07:34Rest early tonight
07:35Get a good night's sleep
07:39Sleep
07:39I hadn't had a real night's sleep in over a week
07:42Those dreams came every time I closed my eyes
07:46His face
07:47His body
07:48The pull
07:49At an overnight shift at the convenience store
07:52And my brain had stopped knowing the difference between dreaming and being awake
07:56Six in the morning
07:58My shift finally over
08:00My eyelids were sandbags
08:02Maybe they'd already closed
08:04Maybe I was already dreaming
08:06Because I saw him
08:08Black Maybach
08:09Deserted roadside
08:11Terry Lowe staring right at me
08:13It was a dream
08:14Had to be
08:16I walked straight to his window
08:19Don't you only show up at night?
08:21It's six in the morning
08:23Why are you still here?
08:24I'd tested it
08:25Bond dreams only came when we were both asleep
08:28He never appeared during the day
08:30Terry said nothing
08:33Normal in dreams
08:34Voices never reached each other
08:36I reached out
08:38Squeezed his face
08:39His skin was warm
08:41He didn't resist
08:43Instead
08:44He pushed the door open and padded the leather seat
08:47Come in
08:48Fine
08:49It was a dream
08:51I climbed in
08:53Straddled him
08:54The position my body knew by heart we'd practiced it so many nights
08:59His hands caught my waist
09:01The grip was instinctive
09:02Reflexive
09:03Faster than thought
09:05He froze for half a second
09:06Like the pull had yanked him somewhere he hadn't planned to go
09:09Whatever
09:10It was a dream
09:11Who cares
09:15Your niece bullies me every chance she gets
09:18The instructor covers for her
09:21You cover for her
09:23You have no idea what she's done
09:25I once bought a dress that looked like hers
09:30She shredded it
09:32Called me shameless for wearing fake brands
09:35But I saved my own money to buy it
09:37How was I supposed to know what brand it was?
09:40Terry's gaze flickered
09:41And now just because I told the truth
09:44You're having me blacklisted from every company your pack touches
09:48Since he couldn't hear me anyway this was a dream
09:50After all I let it all out
09:52Every frustration from the real world
09:55At the end of it
09:56I bit down hard on his shoulder
10:00I don't want to dream about you anymore
10:03This is the last time
10:04His hands clamped down on me
10:06The grip was crushing
10:08No
10:10I won't allow it
10:11I froze
10:12He was speaking
10:14No
10:15Wait
10:15How was I hearing him?
10:17My head went blank
10:20Area
10:22His voice was steady now
10:24You're not asleep
10:26This isn't a dream
10:29The words landed like a physical blow
10:32I scrambled off his lap and dropped into the footwell
10:35Pressed against his legs
10:38A knock rattled the window
10:41Terry?
10:42You called me out here at 5 in the morning?
10:44What's going on?
10:46The window rolled down
10:47Halfway
10:48Terry leaned forward
10:49Blocking the view inside with his body
10:53I couldn't sleep
10:55I wanted to ask you something
10:56Kathleen's eyes went wide
10:58You've been out here all night?
11:01She looked around
11:03No bars
11:04No clubs
11:05Just a convenience store
11:07What did you want to ask?
11:09If this is about the exam
11:11I swear I didn't hire anyone
11:14That classmate framed me
11:16You can't let her get away with it
11:19Terry's voice didn't rise
11:20I checked the surveillance footage at your school yesterday afternoon
11:24It had been deleted
11:27Footage gets cleared eventually anyway
11:29Then why is every other recording from that day still there?
11:33Except the one showing you entering the exam hall
11:35Kathleen's eyes darted
11:37Coincidence
11:40Hey, Terry, have you had breakfast?
11:42I could go grab you some
11:45Answer me
11:46Not loud
11:47But something in the air shifted
11:50Even I felt it from the footwell
11:53Kathleen's throat bobbed
11:54Then her eyes snagged on something
11:58Terry
11:58Why is there a woman's earring on your collar?
12:02Shit
12:03My earring
12:04It must have fallen off when we kissed hooked onto the edge of his suit
12:11Kathleen's eyes narrowed
12:15Wait
12:16I've seen that earring before
12:20It's Aria's
12:21Terry closed his fist around the earring before she could look closer
12:25But Kathleen was already grinning
12:29Must be the same style
12:31My uncle has better taste than that
12:34Terry frowned
12:36Didn't your parents teach you?
12:38You don't look down on your classmates
12:41I'm just telling the truth
12:43Grades are the only decent thing about her
12:46She's dirt poor
12:47What's the point of acting proud when you're broke?
12:52She should have stayed as my lackey
12:54Shut up
12:55The words weren't loud
12:57But the air cracked
12:58I was curled in the footwell
13:00And even I felt the shift of pressure that wasn't sound
13:03Wasn't movement
13:04Just wait
13:05Kathleen's knees almost buckled
13:08Her body knew what her mouth hadn't caught up with yet
13:11Alpha dominance
13:13She'd never been on the receiving end before
13:17Apologize
13:18Don't make me say it again
13:21Three days later
13:22I saw Kathleen's name on the school bulletin
13:25Disciplined
13:30Hiring a proxy for the exam
13:32Deleting surveillance footage
13:34The school was revoking her diploma
13:36And putting her on academic probation for a year
13:38The whole campus buzzed
13:41Even Terry stepping in couldn't save her
13:44Then the second bomb dropped
13:46The disciplinary action came because Terry himself had forced the school's hand
13:50He'd led the investigation, personally recovered the deleted footage
13:55Confirmed the proxy
13:56Made them act
13:57The instructors who'd ignored me for years now wore plastic smiles
14:04Aria
14:05We were wrong about you
14:07Aria
14:08How about nominating you for outstanding graduate
14:12I glanced around
14:14Saw Terry standing in the corner
14:16And understood
14:17They weren't apologizing to me
14:20They were performing for him
14:24Terry pushed Kathleen forward
14:27You too
14:28Apologize
14:30Kathleen looked at me
14:32Jaw tight
14:33Aria, I'm sorry
14:35My ass
14:36Her voice shot up
14:38Pitched for every student in the hallway
14:41I want to report something too
14:43Aria seduced my uncle
14:45I saw her getting out of his car with my gulp
14:49My own eyes
14:54Terry's eyes went cold
14:57Terry, I'm not blaming you
15:00It must be her tricks
15:02It must be her tricks
15:02She's bewatched you somehow
15:04Otherwise, why would you help her and suppress me?
15:08We're pack!
15:10Kathleen's voice rang with righteous fury
15:12Look at her
15:13No taste
15:14No money
15:15No bloodline
15:17I wouldn't glance at someone like her if she were begging on the street
15:21And she thinks she can climb into your bed and mate into the lower pack?
15:26Smack
15:28The sound cut through the room like a blade
15:31Silence
15:32Even the students outside stopped breathing
15:35Terry had slapped her
15:37In front of everyone
15:38No restraint
15:40A red mark bloomed across Kathleen's cheek
15:43How did the low pack raise a useless thing like you?
15:47His tone was flat
15:49His eyes carried no warmth
15:52And somehow that was worse than rage
15:56Kathleen finally understood
15:58This alpha uncle she barely knew wasn't the soft target she'd assumed
16:04Her parents had warned her
16:05Whatever your uncle says goes
16:08Piss him off
16:09And we all face the consequences
16:12She'd never believed it
16:14She believed it now
16:18Their entire pack lived at the mercy of Terry's word
16:22Nothing to do with family seniority
16:25Everything to do with power
16:28Kathleen's tears started falling
16:30With a thud
16:31She dropped to her knees in front of me
16:34I'm sorry, At Area
16:36I know I was wrong
16:39Please
16:40Talk to my uncle for me
16:43I didn't even glance at her
16:45If there's nothing else
16:47I'm leaving
16:49Terry turned sharply
16:50Aren't you gonna let me explain?
16:53His voice changed
16:56Softer
16:57It was me who pursued At Aria
17:00I was the one bothering her
17:03It has nothing to do with her
17:05The room went still
17:06An alpha
17:07Publicly claiming pursuit of a human girl
17:10No one in that hallway had ever seen anything like it
17:13Kathleen was expelled
17:14Terry signed the order himself
17:16The campus couldn't stop talking about it
17:19Alpha brought down his own niece for a human
17:22At the graduation ceremony
17:24My classmates crowded around me
17:26Area
17:27Don't forget us when you're rich
17:30Low pack companies?
17:32You can pick any job you want
17:34I'm so jealous
17:36Are you even going to work?
17:38Wouldn't it be easier to just become Mrs. Lowe?
17:44I didn't want to hear a single word
17:46The diploma in my hands wasn't a prize
17:49It was proof that I'd clawed my way out of the mud
17:53My family had nothing
17:54I'd worked jobs
17:56Earned scholarships
17:56Fought for every credit
17:58I didn't get here to be someone's mate
18:00I got here to be someone
18:02I had one thing left to settle
18:06After the ceremony
18:07I went to find Terry
18:09He had a graduation gift ready
18:12An expensive necklace
18:15I looked at it and set it back down
18:20You don't like it?
18:24I'll find something else
18:26Something you'll love
18:27I didn't answer
18:29Instead
18:30I stepped closer
18:31Looked him in the eye
18:33Terry
18:35Do you want to be with me?
18:37For real?
18:38Last time
18:39In the car
18:40We'd only kissed
18:41Kathleen showed up before anything more
18:44Since then
18:45The bond dreams hadn't stopped
18:47Every night
18:48Our bodies drawn together by the pull
18:50But in the daylight
18:51Neither of us spoke of it
18:54Terry lowered his gaze
18:55A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth
19:01Finally planning to make my dream come true?
19:04I hummed
19:05Turned my face away
19:06Didn't look at him
19:10Reality was nothing like the dreams
19:12His arms around me real
19:14The warmth of his breath real
19:16Every nerve in my body awake
19:18Amplified
19:19Electric
19:21Afterward
19:22I curled in his arms
19:23And stared into the dark
19:24He'd become someone else entirely
19:27Clingy
19:27Soft
19:28Nothing like the alpha
19:30The world saw
19:32He whispered into my ear
19:36I like you, Ari
19:40Can I call you that?
19:43Can I see you again tomorrow?
19:45I barely heard him
19:46My mind was fixed on one thing
19:48It should be over now
19:50Those absurd bond dreams they had to end
19:54Back in the dorm
19:55The girls had talked about mate bonds being permanent
19:58Formal rejection was the only way out to end that ritual could cost you half your life
20:03But there was another thing I'd heard
20:05A rumor
20:06A desperate person's hope
20:09Reenact in reality what happens in the dream
20:11Break the connection
20:13I didn't know if it was true
20:14I was about to find out
20:17Late into the night
20:19Terry's breathing slowed
20:20My phone lit up
20:23Aria
20:24What time do you arrive tomorrow?
20:26I'll pick you up at the station
20:28Leo Hunter
20:33Leo Hunter
20:34The same senior Kathleen had obsessed over in freshman year
20:38We'd reconnected right before graduation he was recruiting for his company
20:42That day Kathleen's punishment was still undecided
20:46And I had no idea if I'd find a job anywhere
20:49He'd called my name
20:50Aria?
20:52I had to look twice to remember who he was
20:55Leo had been the campus golden boy
20:57Bright, principled
20:59The kind of student everyone respected
21:01I never paid much attention to campus gossip
21:04My only memory of him was the jacket incident
21:07The one that made Kathleen hate me
21:09Leo smiled
21:12It's fine if you don't remember me
21:14But I remember you
21:16Top of your major
21:17Your work ethic puts me to shame
21:21He offered me a job
21:23Good pay
21:24Perfect fit for my major
21:27The only catch it wasn't in Los Angeles
21:31My eyes lit up
21:33I'd already made my decision
21:36But before I left
21:38I had to end the Bond dreams
21:41With my own hands
21:43Terry was still asleep
21:45I boarded the northbound train
21:52One year later
21:55I'd built a life up north
21:57The Bond dreams had stopped the night I left
22:03Not a single one since
22:05Leo and I weren't in the same department
22:08But we were alumni
22:09Lunch buddies
22:10Getting closer
22:12One step from making it official
22:16Late June
22:17A major client was visiting
22:19Management went into full panic mode
22:22My boss went to the airport personally
22:25I was in charge of the welcome car
22:28When there was an accident on the road
22:30By the time the car reached the airport
22:32We were five minutes late
22:34I didn't even see the client's face before I got out
22:37I bowed immediately
22:39I'm so sorry
22:40The car is late
22:41We've kept you waiting
22:45My eyes met his
22:49Terry
22:51You?
22:52The word escaped before I could stop it
22:55My boss exploded
22:57At Aria
22:58Is that how you speak to a client?
23:00And the car?
23:01Late?
23:02You can't even handle something this simple?
23:04If you can't do this job
23:06Get lost
23:07I didn't argue
23:09It was my fault
23:10In the car
23:12My boss kept smiling
23:14Smoothing things over
23:15Mr. Lowe
23:16Our employee is just inexperienced
23:19Graduated last year
23:20Please don't take offense
23:23Terry said nothing
23:27And his silence was heavier than anyone else's shouting
23:30Even my boss human that he was felt something wrong
23:33The air in the car had changed
23:36He tried making small talk
23:38Terry didn't bite
23:41Then Terry spoke
23:44So this is the good job Leo found for you?
23:47Everyone in the car went blank
23:51Only me
23:52In the passenger seat
23:53Answered without turning around
23:55Yeah
23:56It's fulfilling
23:59Wasting your skills
24:01Escorting cars
24:03I have other duties
24:04This was just today
24:06You two
24:09Know each other?
24:11My boss's voice cracked
24:12Terry ignored him
24:14Just stared at my profile
24:15Is having a boss like this really better than having me Ari?
24:20We arrived
24:22It had started raining
24:23I was supposed to hold the umbrella for the client
24:26Terry opened the black umbrella himself
24:29And held it over my head first
24:32My boss's jaw hung open
24:35I pushed Terry's hand away and walked off without looking back
24:39Just before lunch
24:41My boss appeared at my desk
24:43Nervous
24:44Almost apologetic
24:47Um
24:48Mr. Lowid says you deleted him on WhatsApp
24:51He asked me to tell you
24:52He has something to discuss with you
24:56I looked up
24:59Your meeting's over?
25:02Yes
25:02Yes, it's over
25:04He nodded like he was reporting to his own boss
25:07I went to find Terry
25:11He was alone in the conference room
25:15Mr. Low
25:15You wanted to see me?
25:20Let's talk about you leaving without a word
25:26I didn't leave without a word
25:28I sent you a message before I left
25:30I know
25:32I've read those few sentences for a year
25:35I've practically memorized them
25:36We hadn't parted as enemies
25:38The message said I thanked him for choosing justice over his pack
25:42Because of that, I'd reconsidered who he was
25:45But at the end of the day, we were from different worlds
25:49I've been thinking for a year
25:50Terry said
25:51There's something you wrote that I can't understand
25:55You said we're from different worlds, but in what way?
25:57We breathe the same air
25:59We see the same sky
26:01We are in the same world
26:02You know that's not what I meant
26:04No, I don't
26:05Please
26:07Teach me
26:08He looked down at me
26:09His eyes held something I couldn't name
26:12The gap between us is too wide
26:14We see too many things differently
26:18I can change my views
26:19You don't have to
26:21That won't be a burden on you
26:24What I don't understand is
26:27Why wouldn't you even keep the job I could give you?
26:29A position far better than this one
26:31Because I don't want to live under your name
26:33If I stayed
26:35Every job I got
26:37People would say it was because of you
26:38Every achievement
26:40She has the alpha of the low pack looking out for her
26:44I don't want that life
26:48I see
26:49Terry smiled
26:49That's more or less what I guessed
26:52Then why did you come and ask?
26:56Because it's been a year
26:58I think you've proven yourself
27:00I stared at him
27:02You waited an entire year
27:05On purpose?
27:06Yes
27:06The day you left I knew your address
27:09Your company I could have come anytime
27:11But I held back
27:13I didn't want to interfere with your choices
27:15At least for this year
27:17I wanted you to experience work
27:18And love
27:20For yourself
27:21The great Terry Lode had the patience to wait a year
27:25He paused
27:26Actually
27:27It's been longer than a year
27:29I opened my mouth to ask
27:31The door swung open
27:33Aria
27:35Lunchtime
27:37Leo stood there
27:39Two containers in his hands
27:40He saw the room wasn't empty
27:43His smile didn't waver
27:46A colleague said you were in here
27:48Didn't realize Mr. Lowe was here too
27:50I'm not interrupting am I?
27:53Not at all Leo
27:53You're just in time
27:55I walked toward him
27:57Stood close
27:58Close enough to send a message
28:01Terry didn't even frown
28:03Are you two together?
28:05No
28:05Leo answered fast
28:07Too fast
28:09We're just colleagues
28:11Good
28:11Terry's voice was calm
28:13Then I'll compete for her fairly
28:17And what if we were together?
28:19I asked the question just to see what he'd say
28:22Terry looked at me
28:23A smile pulled at the corner of his mouth
28:27Confident
28:28Easy
28:28Then I would win you over
28:31Leo didn't react
28:32Just set the lunch containers on the table
28:35But I caught something in his expression
28:37The briefest flicker
28:39Then it was gone
28:41Terry stayed
28:42Work was his excuse
28:44From that day on
28:46Leo stopped eating lunch with me
28:48Every time I looked for him
28:50He was busy
28:52Something else
28:53A thorn lodged in my chest
28:58The way he'd rushed to say no
29:00When Terry asked about us
29:02It bothered me more than it should have
29:05Maybe he was just afraid of office gossip
29:11Days passed
29:13The way my colleagues looked at me shifted
29:17Subtle at first
29:19Then not subtle at all
29:23Congrats Aria
29:24Really turned things around for yourself
29:26What?
29:28Didn't know you'd made
29:29Lashed on to such a powerful connection
29:31Yeah
29:32No wonder you got that promotion last quarter
29:35Thanks to Mr. Lo-o
29:36I have nothing to do with Terry
29:40Oh sure
29:41Nobody ever admits it
29:43You women sure know how to climb
29:46Before I could even react
29:47A water bottle flew past my head
29:50A female colleague
29:51Not even someone I was close with
29:54We'd argued over work more than once
29:56She was on her feet now
29:58Shut up
29:59A few words from you and all her hard work means nothing
30:02Her performance was the best last quarter
30:05Didn't she earn that promotion?
30:08The two men backed off muttering
30:10It was Leo who said it
30:12Nothing to do with us
30:13My head snapped up
30:14Who?
30:17Leo
30:19I stood frozen
30:21Last quarter
30:24The final promotion slot came down to Leo and me
30:28I got it
30:29Leo had congratulated me
30:32Smiled that same polished
30:34Humble smile he'd worn since college
30:36I expected nothing less from you Aria
30:39Was all of it fake?
30:41No
30:42I had to be sure
30:43Leo wasn't that kind of person
30:45I pulled him into the break room
30:48What's wrong?
30:51Same smile
30:52Same easy warmth
30:53Been crazy busy lately
30:55That's why I've been eating alone
30:57Still can't lunch together
30:59Sorry
31:02Have you been telling people about me and Terry?
31:05Of course not
31:07Instant
31:08Smooth
31:09Why would I say something like that?
31:11People gossiping?
31:13I nodded
31:14Don't let them get in your head
31:16That's just co-works
31:17Jealous
31:19Gossip this detailed had to come from someone inside
31:22Leo frowned
31:23Thinking
31:25That makes sense
31:28But you and Terry were alone in that office
31:30It wasn't a secret
31:31A lot of people saw you
31:32Maybe someone who walked by
31:34I didn't answer
31:35Leo shifted topics smoothly
31:40Hey
31:40That charity project
31:42You're in charge, right?
31:45Yes
31:46Can you get me on the team?
31:47I'm really interested
31:48We could work on it together
31:51The project needed people
31:53I said yes
31:55But the smile on his face was too eager
31:57Something about it sat wrong in my stomach
32:01The project was a cross-species outreach program
32:04Human children from PAC-controlled territories
32:07Kids who'd never set foot in a real school because they weren't wolves
32:12Classes, room, board
32:14A semester of education the PAC system never gave them
32:17Plus a small education fund for each of them
32:21Weeks in
32:22Everything was running smoothly
32:25Leo and I worked well together
32:27Then I saw the transfers
32:29Some of the children's sponsorship money
32:31Moved into Leo's personal account
32:35I went to him immediately
32:38Yeah
32:38I transferred it
32:40Not even a hint of shame
32:42Why?
32:43This project is way more work than I expected
32:45The bonus at the end is tiny
32:47I figured I'd keep a little for the effort
32:49I stared at him
32:52Are you telling me you're embezzling their sponsorship money?
32:56Isn't that how it always works?
33:00He asked it so naturally
33:03Like I was the strange one
33:06Charity in this world
33:09Someone always takes a cut
33:12You think your donation reaches the people it's meant for?
33:15How much actually gets there?
33:19Only a fool wouldn't take a kickback
33:24You can take some too
33:25Mr. Miranda's fine with it
33:28Are you insane?
33:30That money is for them to live on
33:35I'm struggling too, Aria
33:37Leo didn't raise his voice
33:39Didn't even shift in his chair
33:41I need to build a life in this city
33:43Get married
33:44Have kids
33:46You think I don't need a house?
33:49How am I supposed to buy one with no money?
33:51You won't die without a house
33:53They'll starve without that money
33:55He looked at me
33:56Same handsome face
33:58Same composed posture
34:00But his eyes had changed
34:02Aria
34:03Has Terry Locks protected you too well?
34:06You've never had to worry about food or shelter?
34:09I have
34:09I stood there
34:12Frozen
34:13Protected too well
34:15It was almost funny
34:16Because years ago I was one of them
34:19One of the thousands of poor girls waiting for funds that never showed up
34:23When had Leo rotted this completely?
34:26Or maybe he was always like this
34:28Some people wrap a rotten core in a perfect surface
34:31As long as your interests align
34:33You'll never smell the decay
34:35The good grades
34:36The humble smile
34:38The principled reputation
34:43All of it
34:44A costume
34:45And the moment personal gain was on the table
34:48He'd taken it off without hesitation
34:50He'd planned this from the day he asked to join the project
34:53Didn't even fear me exposing him
34:56Mr. Miranda was his accomplice
34:58I walked out
35:00Toward the outreach school
35:02My legs moved on their own
35:06Classes were over
35:07The children were on the playground
35:09Their clothes worn and dirty
35:11I stood outside the fence
35:15Couldn't make myself go in
35:19Then I saw him
35:20Terry
35:21Dark suit among the dust and faded uniforms
35:24He crouched down and opened his arms
35:30The children rushed into them like he was family
35:34Terry!
35:35What did you bring today?
35:38Milk
35:39Cookies
35:40Clean clothes
35:43One child hung back
35:45Quiet
35:47Thin
35:49I've never had milk before
35:53At my house only my little brother gets to drink milk
35:59Is the milk for us to take home to our brothers?
36:04Terry knelt
36:07Hand on her head
36:09The milk is for you
36:11You can't go home until you finish it
36:13She took the card in like it was glass
36:16Poked the straw in carefully
36:20The summer sunset caught Terry's face
36:25His eyes were clear
36:27So clear
36:28No alpha presence
36:30No dominance
36:31Just a man kneeling in the dirt with a child
36:35He looked up
36:36Saw me
36:38What are you doing here?
36:40I shook myself awake
36:43I should be asking you that
36:44These are children I sponsor
36:46Can I be here?
36:47You sponsor them?
36:48My voice came out higher than I meant
36:50Isn't the project in our company's name?
36:52The money comes from me
36:53I pulled him aside
36:56Away from the children
36:58Then you know Mr. Miranda and the others have been embezzling your funds
37:01I know
37:02Flat, calm
37:04Not surprised at all
37:06Then why haven't you stopped them?
37:08You're just letting it happen?
37:10He gave me a look
37:12Almost sad
37:15How could I possibly let that happen?
37:17I'm waiting
37:19For the right moment to close the net
37:21The air left my lungs
37:25He wasn't one of them
37:27He was hunting them
37:28His assistant stepped forward
37:31Unable to hold back
37:32Mrs. Foster
37:34Mr. Lowe does a lot of charity work
37:37Always personally
37:38No middlemen
37:39And he never lets the media cover it
37:42Says it's not something to show off
37:47I turn to Terry
37:49Then why go through our company this time?
37:53Because Chloe Miranda is a repeat offender
37:55His answer landed like a door unlocking
37:58Over a decade ago
38:00There was a coup against my father's pack
38:02I was taken during the chaos
38:05Abandoned at the foot of a mountain
38:07A family in the countryside took me in
38:09Their name was Foster
38:10They had nothing
38:12But they were good to me
38:16After my parents found me
38:17They sent a donation to that family
38:19Chloe Miranda was the one who handled the funds
38:22I suspect that family never received a single cent
38:25He looked at me
38:27And smiled
38:29Right, Area Foster
38:31I shot to my feet
38:35It's you?
38:37I stared at him
38:38Up and down
38:39And from somewhere deep
38:41Buried under years of forgetting
38:43A name surfaced
38:45Ryan
38:46Terry's smile froze
38:49Uh
38:50Can we
38:51Maybe not use that name?
38:53I had a brother once
38:54Where I came from
38:56An only daughter was a curse
38:57But my parents loved me
38:59They knew their limits could only raise one child
39:02So they poured everything into me
39:07When I was eight
39:09They brought home a boy
39:11Found alone at the foot of the mountain
39:14No memory
39:15No name
39:16No pack
39:17My parents named him Rain
39:21Those years with a brother were the happiest I'd ever been
39:24No one in the village dared touch me
39:27He was always there
39:29Always between me and whatever wanted to hurt me
39:32One day
39:33Strangers came to the village
39:35Well dressed
39:36City people
39:38My brother asked me what they wanted
39:40Giving money to low income families
39:42The registered ones
39:44We're on the list aren't we?
39:46Does that mean we can finally fix the roof?
39:50It leaks every time it rains
39:52I smiled at him
39:54Just wait and see
39:55A month later
39:56The village chief built a new house
39:59Our roof collapsed in the next storm
40:02Later
40:03My brother got his memory back
40:05Found his family
40:07Before he left
40:08He swore he'd make sure we lived a good life
40:12I didn't know what a good life meant
40:15I just wanted medicine for my dad
40:18A roof that didn't leak
40:20I waited
40:21And waited
40:24Nothing came
40:26I never saw him again
40:31Dad got sicker
40:33Then he was gone
40:38Mom and I were chased out to grandma's house
40:43Treated like bad omens
40:46But I never blamed my brother
40:48He was barely a teenager
40:50What could he have done?
40:53Eventually I stopped thinking about it
40:56Now he was standing right in front of me
40:58Terry touched his earlobe
41:00A faint scar
41:02Remember this?
41:04You bit me
41:05I stole half your bread
41:10How could I possibly remember that?
41:13I punched his arm
41:15Lightly
41:16Guilty
41:19Why didn't you say something sooner?
41:21I was waiting for the right time
41:24I was scared
41:26You?
41:28Scared of anything?
41:30I broke my promise
41:31I was afraid you'd hate me for it
41:33He paused
41:34And I was afraid
41:36You'd only see me as a brother
41:39If you accept me as your brother
41:40I can't be your husband
41:42Yes
41:43If he'd come to me as rain from the star
41:45I'd never have crossed that line
41:50After I went home
41:51I begged my parents to help you
41:53But that money was already gone
41:55Embezzled by Chloe Miranda
41:57I fought with them about it
42:00They shrugged
42:02Told me this happens all the time
42:05As long as the money was given out
42:08They considered the good G done
42:12Who had actually helped didn't matter to them
42:14But I couldn't accept that
42:18Terry's voice dropped
42:22I went back to your village
42:24You'd already moved
42:26No one knew where
42:28From that day I had one goal
42:32Seize power
42:33Only when the power was in my hands
42:35Could I do what needed to be done
42:38He had brothers
42:41But they didn't share his vision
42:45You could tell just by looking at Kathleen
42:48Same pack
42:49Completely different path
42:51The outside world said Terry was a prodigy
42:54Gifted
42:55Brilliant
42:56No one saw what he did in the dark to get there
42:59He rose
43:00Took control
43:01Achieved freedom
43:02Real freedom
43:03And he used it
43:06Outreach
43:06Schools
43:07Human kids
43:08The pack system never reached
43:10Everything he wished someone had done
43:12For my family
43:13But there was one thing he'd never resolved
43:15Me
43:16He'd seen me once
43:18Senior year of college
43:20Just a girl who caught his eye
43:22He kept looking
43:26Heart racing for the first time in over 20 years
43:29Then someone said my name
43:30Aria Foster
43:32The person I'd been guilty of boot me entire life
43:36From that day you never left my mind
43:39You appeared in my bond dreams
43:41It made me
43:42He stopped
43:43Shook his head
43:45But none of that matters now
43:46I only heard one thing
43:48His story
43:49His rise
43:50His fight
43:54Fire lit in my chest
43:56This time
43:57We make Chloe Miranda pay
43:59This time
44:00We make Chloe Miranda pay
44:03Not just her
44:05Terry's eyes sharpened
44:07Every accomplice
44:09Including Leo Hunter
44:12Aria
44:13Can you go through of it?
44:15Are you looking down on me?
44:17Why wouldn't I let go of scum like that?
44:20Whatever trace of fondness I'd had for Leo died today
44:24Those office rumors he'd started them
44:27I was sure of it now
44:30Terry nodded
44:31Satisfied
44:32Good
44:33But honestly
44:34He's useless
44:36Couldn't win you over in a whole year
44:38And I was actually planning to compete with him
44:42I snorted
44:43Alright
44:45You win
44:47Rain
44:48We became comrades
44:51Inside and out
44:52He had the power
44:54I had the evidence
44:56Leo's personal accounts
44:58Miranda's signatures
44:59Every falsified transfer
45:01And deeper in the chain
45:03Chloe Miranda
45:05The same woman who'd stolen the money meant for my family
45:08Skimming charity funds for over a decade
45:14We pulled every thread
45:16The evidence was undeniable
45:18The media erupted
45:22But there was no name in the reports besides mine
45:25Terry stayed in the shadows
45:27The world only knew that a wage slave
45:30One year out of college
45:32Had ripped the mask off a corruption network
45:34Some people sneered
45:37Troubles maker like her?
45:39No company will ever hire her again
45:42One posted my new offers the same day
45:46Companies with skeletons didn't want me
45:48Fine
45:49I'd go where there was someone with a heartbeat
45:52The female colleague who'd stood up for me
45:54She landed at a better company after hours collapsed
45:58Terry and I built things together after that
46:01Schools
46:01Hired teachers
46:03Made sure every human kid the PAC system forgot had somewhere to go
46:07He put up the funds
46:10I ran the ground
46:13We were in sync
46:17Totally different worlds
46:19Totally the same direction
46:22Over time
46:24The walls I'd built came down
46:27And we were together
46:28Not because the bond said so
46:31Because I chose to
46:35I saw Kathleen once
46:38A coincidence
46:41Probably not
46:44After her expulsion
46:46Her parents coddled her
46:50She coasted
46:53Then her friends started disappearing
46:55One by one
46:57Of course
46:59Terry's doing
47:00She finally understood
47:03Everyone who'd ever orbited around her
47:06Had been circling her uncle
47:07Without the alpha's name behind her
47:10She was nothing
47:12Where she went from there
47:14That was up to fate
47:18I had no appetite for revenge
47:21There were more important people to give my energy to
47:25Another year passed
47:29I came home from a month-long business trip
47:33The door barely opened before Terry pulled me into his arms
47:38Missed me?
47:42Yes
47:43And you?
47:47I guess so, Rain
47:49Please
47:50You're killing the mood
47:52I laughed
47:54Couldn't help it
47:56Kissed his cheek
48:00I'm kidding
48:01I missed you too
48:04Darling
48:04He went still
48:06What did you call me?
48:09Darling
48:11He pulled me closer
48:13I felt his heartbeat against my chest
48:16Fast, strong
48:17Evolved
48:18Pulse
48:19Same as it had been that very first night
48:21In the very first dream
48:24That night
48:25Moonlight spilled through the window like water
48:27His arms held me close
48:29The silver washed over us
48:32Like we'd slipped back into a dream
48:35But this time
48:36It wasn't a dream
48:38It was real
48:40I chose him
48:42Not because the bond decreed it
48:44Because I decided to
48:46Not because fate lashed us together in sleep
48:49Because my own heart told me to stay
48:51Look who'd those지
48:54Yeah
48:56Yung
48:57But this time
48:58You were the best
