00:00This is something like the family mansion.
00:06Is there even room for them here?
00:08They manage fine.
00:10Then I saw it happen.
00:12Ace never cared about anything.
00:13Now he stared at her.
00:15Deuce gave her his warmest smile.
00:17Even hot-tempered Trey watched her, ears twitching.
00:20Deuce peeled an apple and handed her a slice.
00:23Here, the sweetest part is yours.
00:27Ace refilled her water before the glass ran low.
00:31You three are so sweet.
00:33They had never once done that for me.
00:35She sat there sweet and oblivious to it all.
00:39That was the moment I knew.
00:41My things were about to become hers once more.
00:44After she left, everything changed.
00:46The soft nights were over.
00:48They took me harder and colder each time.
00:50Some nights I thought they wanted me dead.
00:52I finally understood what they were doing.
00:54One look at Vivian had been enough.
00:56They wanted her, and I was in the way.
00:58So they would wear me down to nothing.
01:00Then I would hand them to my sister.
01:02But I heard them first.
01:03And I had a plan of my own.
01:05Hello.
01:05My sister Vivian always wants more in bed.
01:09But her partner is a snake.
01:11He stays cold.
01:13My partners are three wolves.
01:15Every night they wear me down to nothing.
01:18But none of them wants me.
01:19The one they want is Vivian.
01:22So I offered her a swap.
01:24My wolves had me all night.
01:26Then I blacked out.
01:28But I came to before they noticed.
01:30Voices drifted in from the living room.
01:34That soft little body.
01:35No stamina at all.
01:37She really thinks she can keep all three of us?
01:40Give it time.
01:41Once she breaks, she'll hand us to her sister.
01:44She can barely breathe.
01:46A few more nights, she's done.
01:47An hour ago, I had cried in their arms.
01:50They called that week.
01:52I was done crying.
01:55I reached for my phone and called Vivian.
01:58What's wrong?
01:59You said you were pent up, right?
02:01Take all three wolves.
02:02Give me your snake.
02:03Wait, really?
02:04They're okay with it?
02:05They like you.
02:06A lot.
02:07She didn't argue.
02:08Everyone likes her more.
02:10It has always been true.
02:11Fine.
02:12My place is bigger anyway.
02:13But my snake is cold.
02:14He won't touch you.
02:15Good.
02:15I'm too wrecked to want more.
02:17He can just handle the chores.
02:18I'll come this afternoon.
02:20The door opened the second she hung up.
02:22Ace stood there, his eyes heavy and half closed.
02:25He reached for my blanket.
02:27Wait.
02:28Not done resting, Master?
02:31We're done.
02:32Vivian takes you this afternoon.
02:34He went still.
02:35At the door, Deuce and Trey froze too.
02:37Which two of us?
02:38They thought I was keeping one.
02:40All three of you.
02:45Three months ago, none of this had happened.
02:48It started on a cold, rainy night.
02:51Three wolves lay bleeding on the wet concrete.
02:54I almost walked right past them.
02:56Then one weak tail curled around my ankle.
03:00I couldn't leave them there.
03:01So I carried all three of them home.
03:06They healed fast under my care.
03:10Then their growth phase hit.
03:13One by one, they shifted into men.
03:25I called the shifter shelter to give them up.
03:28They've imprinted on you.
03:30Abandoning them now would traumatize them.
03:35Three pairs of eyes watched me and waited.
03:38I didn't have the heart.
03:40So I kept them.
03:42I named them Ace, Deuce, and Trey, from oldest to youngest.
03:51Back then, they adored me.
03:53They trailed me from room to room.
03:56Their hands were always on me.
04:07Then my sister called with the family's orders.
04:09When are you coming home to marry him?
04:13My family found me a husband for the money.
04:17He was old and ugly.
04:21I refused him.
04:24So they cut off my income.
04:27They would never force Vivian to marry him.
04:31All the pressure fell on me instead.
04:35That guy buried three wives.
04:37And he's ugly.
04:40But his family is rich.
04:43Deuce pulled me close and kissed my hair.
04:46You sound upset.
04:48Just hang up on her.
04:51Vivian caught his voice through the phone.
04:53Who was that?
04:54His voice is gorgeous.
04:55Just three strays I took in.
04:57Strays?
04:58I have to see them.
04:59I'm coming tomorrow.
05:03I should have said no.
05:07The next day, she walked through my door.
05:09All three wolves turned to look at her.
05:11And not one of them looked away.
05:13I had seen that look before.
05:14It had never once been aimed at me.
05:20Vivian stepped inside in a white dress.
05:24She drew every eyes in the room.
05:28Surprise!
05:29I just had to meet your strays.
05:31I turned to watch the wolves.
05:33All three of them only watched her.
05:35I had lived this a hundred times.
05:36Everyone always wants Vivian.
05:38She is bright and easy to love.
05:40Next to her, I am plain and quiet.
05:43So I turned away and said nothing.
05:45Your place is nothing like the family mansion.
05:48Is there even room for them here?
05:50They manage fine.
05:52Then I saw it happen.
05:54Ace never cared about anything.
05:55Now he stared at her.
05:57Deuce gave her his warmest smile.
05:59Even hot-tempered Trey watched her, ears twitching.
06:02Deuce peeled an apple and handed her a slice.
06:05Here.
06:06The sweetest part is yours.
06:09Ace refilled her water before the glass ran low.
06:13You three are so sweet.
06:15They had never once done that for me.
06:17She sat there sweet and oblivious to it all.
06:20That was the moment I knew.

06:37One look at Vivian had been enough.
06:39They wanted her, and I was in the way.
06:40So they would wear me down to nothing.
06:42Then I would hand them to my sister.
06:44But I heard them first, and I had a plan of my own.
06:47Hello.
06:49By afternoon, the apartment had gone dead quiet.
06:53Then someone knocked.
06:55Vivian was here.
06:57Ace laying on the wall and stared me down.
07:00You're really handing all three of us to her?
07:04I nodded.
07:06You won't even keep one of us?
07:09Which one of you wants to stay with me?
07:11The room went still.
07:13No one said a word.
07:14That was my answer.
07:16Trey rolled his eyes and went to the door.
07:19Drop the wounded act, all of you.
07:22He opened it.
07:25Vivian beamed at them.
07:27Hi, boys.
07:29My sister told you, right?
07:31You're all mine now.
07:32Trey leaned right into her.
07:34Hello, my new master.
07:37Don't pack a thing.
07:39I'll buy you everything at the mansion.
07:41Ace gave a lazy hum.
07:44Deuce glanced at her, then at me.
07:46I kept my face blank.
07:48Relax.
07:49I'll treat them better than you ever could.
07:51Vivian came over and patted my arm.
07:53Have your fun, then come home and marry him.
07:55Marry?
07:56What marriage?
07:57Vivian didn't explain.
07:58She smiled at me, soft and pitiful.
08:01Why not keep one?
08:02She looks so sad.
08:03Not one of them moved toward me.
08:05Between us, I am never the one chosen.
08:07We both made peace with that long ago.
08:08Then I lifted my chin.
08:10Where is he?
08:10Vivian paused, then called toward the hall.
08:13Come inside.
08:15Heavy footsteps crossed the floor.
08:17A tall man stepped into the light.
08:19He stood tall, his expression cold.
08:21Then his dark eyes locked onto mine.
08:25I held his cold stare and made myself speak.
08:28Hello?
08:30He looked down at me without a word.
08:32His gaze was heavy, dark, and reptile cold.
08:35He did not answer me at all.
08:38Goosebumps spread down both my arms.
08:40That's just how he is.
08:41Can't stand him.
08:42I'll take him back.
08:43Wait.
08:43Who is this guy?
08:46The driver is waiting downstairs.
08:48Let's go.
08:49She didn't explain, and I couldn't either.
08:52The three wolves went quiet and followed her out.
08:55Just like that, they were gone.
08:58The snake stayed behind without a word.
09:01I reached out to close the door.
09:03Deuce turned and looked back at me.
09:05His eyes gave nothing away.
09:07Then the man beside me changed.
09:09His dark pupils narrowed into cold slits.
09:11A slick tail shot around my waist.
09:13A strange, heavy scent burst through the room.
09:16It filled my lungs and made me dizzy.
09:18I shoved at his chest, but he didn't move.
09:20You...
09:21You're going into rut!
09:22He tugged at his collar, breathing hard.
09:24So hot.
09:25He pulled his shirt open at the throat.
09:27Hold on.
09:27Let me get you a suppressor.
09:29He caught my wrist before I could turn.
09:30Don't go.
09:31He pressed my palm flat against his bare chest.
09:33His skin was hot, and his heart pounded under it.
09:35This helps.
09:36Stay like this.
09:37Heat rushed straight to my face.
09:39Then, what do you want me to do?
09:41He pinned me back against the door.
09:43His tail caught me, so it didn't hurt.
09:46Hot breath spilled across the back of my neck.
09:49I could not break free of his hold.
09:53Then a fist pounded on the door.
09:55Cora?
09:55What's wrong in there?
10:03My sister Vivian always wants more in bed.
10:07But her partner is a snake.
10:09He stays cold.
10:11My partners are three wolves.
10:13Every night they wear me down to nothing.

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

40:24All the pressure fell on me instead.
40:28That guy buried three wives.
40:30And he's ugly.
40:33But his family is rich.
40:36Deuce pulled me close and kissed my hair.
40:39You sound upset.
40:41Just hang up on her.
40:44Vivian caught his voice through the phone.
40:46Who was that?
40:47His voice is gorgeous.
40:48Just three strays I took in.
40:50Strays?
40:51I have to see them.
40:52I'm coming tomorrow.
40:57I should have said no.
41:00The next day, she walked through my door.
41:02All three wolves turned to look at her.
41:04And not one of them looked away.
41:06I had seen that look before.
41:07It had never once been aimed at me.
41:13Vivian stepped inside in a white dress.
41:17She drew every eyes in the room.
41:21Surprise!
41:22I just had to meet your strays.
41:24I turned to watch the wolves.
41:26All three of them only watched her.
41:28I had lived this a hundred times.
41:30Everyone always wants Vivian.
41:31She is bright and easy to love.
41:33Next to her, I am plain and quiet.
41:36So I turned away and said nothing.
41:38Your place is nothing like the family mansion.
41:41Is there even room for them here?
41:43They manage fine.
41:45Then I saw it happen.
41:47Ace never cared about anything.
41:48Now he stared at her.
41:50Deuce gave her his warmest smile.
41:52Even hot-tempered Trey watched her, ears twitching.
41:55Deuce peeled an apple and handed her a slice.
41:58Here.
41:59The sweetest part is yours.
42:02Ace refilled her water before the glass ran low.
42:06You three are so sweet.
42:08They had never once done that for me.
42:10She sat there sweet and oblivious to it all.
42:14That was the moment I knew.
42:16My things were about to become hers once more.
42:19After she left, everything changed.
42:21The soft nights were over.
42:23They took me harder and colder each time.
42:25Some nights I thought they wanted me dead.
42:27I finally understood what they were doing.
42:30One look at Vivian had been enough.
42:32They wanted her, and I was in the way.
42:34So they would wear me down to nothing.
42:35Then I would hand them to my sister.
42:37But I heard them first.
42:38And I had a plan of my own.
42:40Hello.
42:42By afternoon, the apartment had gone dead quiet.
42:46Then someone knocked.
42:48Vivian was here.
42:50Ace laying on the wall and stared me down.
42:53You're really handing all three of us to her?
42:57I nodded.
42:59You won't even keep one of us?
43:02Which one of you wants to stay with me?
43:04The room went still.
43:06No one said a word.
43:07That was my answer.
43:09Trey rolled his eyes and went to the door.
43:12Drop the wounded act, all of you.
43:15He opened it.
43:18Vivian beamed at them.
43:20Hi, boys.
43:22My sister told you, right?
43:24You're all mine now.
43:25Trey leaned right into her.
43:27Hello, my new master.
43:30Don't pack a thing.
43:32I'll buy you everything at the mansion.
43:34Ace gave a lazy hum.
43:36Deuce glanced at her, then at me.
43:39I kept my face blank.
43:41Relax.
43:42I'll treat them better than you ever could.
43:44Vivian came over and patted my arm.
43:46Have your fun, then come home and marry him.
43:48Marry?
43:49What marriage?
43:50Vivian didn't explain.
43:51She smiled at me, soft and pitiful.
43:54Why not keep one?
43:55She looks so sad.
43:56Not one of them moved toward me.
43:58Between us, I am never the one chosen.
44:00We both made peace with that long ago.
44:02Then I lifted my chin.
44:03Where is he?
44:03Vivian paused, then called toward the hall.
44:06Come inside.
44:08Heavy footsteps crossed the floor.
44:10A tall man stepped into the light.
44:12He stood tall, his expression cold.
44:14Then his dark eyes locked onto mine.
44:18I held his cold stare and made myself speak.
44:21Hello?
44:23He looked down at me without a word.
44:25His gaze was heavy, dark, and reptile cold.
44:28He did not answer me at all.
44:31Goosebumps spread down both my arms.
44:33That's just how he is.
44:34Can't stand him.
44:35I'll take him back.
44:36Wait.
44:37Who is this guy?
44:39The driver is waiting downstairs.
44:41Let's go.
44:42She didn't explain, and I couldn't either.
44:45The three wolves went quiet and followed her out.
44:48Just like that, they were gone.
44:51The snake stayed behind without a word.
44:54I reached out to close the door.
44:56Deuce turned and looked back at me.
44:58His eyes gave nothing away.
45:00Then the man beside me changed.
45:02His dark pupils narrowed into cold slits.
45:04A slick tail shot around my waist.
45:06A strange, heavy scent burst through the room.
45:09It filled my lungs and made me dizzy.
45:11I shoved at his chest, but he didn't move.
45:13You-
45:14You're going into rut!
45:15He tugged at his collar, breathing hard.
45:17So hot.
45:18He pulled his shirt open at the throat.
45:20Hold on.
45:20Let me get you a suppressor.
45:22He caught my wrist before I could turn.
45:23Don't go.
45:24He pressed my palm flat against his bare chest.
45:26His skin was hot, and his heart pounded under it.
45:28This helps.
45:29Stay like this.
45:30Heat rushed straight to my face.
45:32Then, what do you want me to do?
45:34He pinned me back against the door.
45:36His tail caught me, so it didn't hurt.
45:39Hot breath spilled across the back of my neck.
45:42I could not break free of his hold.
45:46Then a fist pounded on the door.
45:48Cora?
45:48What's wrong in there?
45:49I could not break free of all wickedness.
45:51And there's a fist more.
45:53I'll break free of all that.��즈
