Any ideas as to why it's llevaron and not llevaran?

I think it is the preterite tense, as in "they took me".

Agreed - the phrase as written is in the preterite. The context though is a hypothetical situation in the past which would normally imply the imperfect subjunctive.

I guess it would depend on the context... Just with the info given though, I would say the right word should be "llevaran"; and it should also be "harén" not "harem" in Spanish.

Thanks, Marie!
