Short filmTranscript
00:00For seven years, I followed Zane Reed around like a shadow,
00:03tutoring him day and night, until he finally scored high enough to qualify for Alpha Academy.
00:07The night the results were announced, he casually mentioned it.
00:10Enroll in Meadowbrook Academy with me, Selena. I need to stay with Sophia.
00:15Alpha Academy, the most prestigious institution, meant only for the strongest Alphas.
00:20Its graduates became PAC leaders, council members, and commanders.
00:24Meadowbrook Academy, a school for ordinary werewolves, nothing special.
00:28Everyone thought that I would obey Zane's every word as usual this time.
00:32But this time, my expression was cold as I looked at him directly.
00:36Fuck you. You're insane, but I'm not.
00:40Everyone was surprised. The wine glass fell to the ground.
00:44Zane also felt surprised and angry.
00:47Did Selena just curse at Zane?
00:49She's always been so desperate, so servile. What changed?
00:52Zane's face turned dark as Stormcloud.
00:54Say that again.
00:56It's okay, Zane.
00:58How could I possibly ask you and Miss Ashfield, both destined to be future elites to attend Meadowbrook Academy with
01:05someone like me?
01:06Zane became even angrier.
01:07Selena! Kneel and apologize!
01:10Now!
01:11Before, I would have dropped to my knees without hesitation,
01:14because any resistance meant the curse's punishment.
01:17Sharp thorns wrapping around my heart, squeezing tighter and tighter, until I couldn't breathe.
01:22I waited two seconds, three seconds.
01:25Nothing.
01:26No thorns.
01:27No crushing pain around my chest.
01:29The curse had lifted.
01:31After seven years of servitude, the witch's curse was finally broken.
01:35My wolf Lola stirred, no longer cowering but growling with fierce approval.
01:39We were free, my tone lazy and unbothered.
01:42No.
01:44Why should I kneel for you?
01:47Zane was very angry.
01:49Fine. Fine.
01:51Selena Ashfield from today on, I'm not coming back to Ashfield, family.
01:53Don't expect to see me again!
01:55I nearly laughed.
01:56I'd be thrilled if he never came back.
01:58Instead, I was mentally planning my vacation.
02:00Maldives.
02:01Or maybe skiing in Switzerland.
02:03When I didn't immediately kneel and begging, Zane looked ready to explode.
02:07Zane, don't fight with Selena over me.
02:09Not going home isn't good for you, though I've never lived in such a big manor before.
02:13I really envy Selena.
02:16Yeah, Zane, we've never seen it either!
02:18Let us check it out!
02:20Her words were like a spark to kindle me, instantly igniting the crowd around us.
02:24Why not?
02:25Come on, I'll take you all to my manor.
02:28Stay as long as you want this summer.
02:29That won't do.
02:31Excuse me?
02:31Zane, that's my home.
02:33I don't give you permission.
02:34He shoved me roughly to the side.
02:36I say it's fine, so it's fine.
02:38Don't push your luck, Selena.
02:39He was just an adopted orphan.
02:41He'd long since come to believe that everything the Ashfords owned, including me, rightfully belonged to him.
02:46But it is obvious he was wrong.
02:49The game has just begun.
02:51By the time I reached my home, chaos had already taken over.
02:54My father's prized vinyl records were being tossed around like Disney's.
02:58Several girls posed with my limited edition handbags, taking selfies.
03:02I pulled out my phone to call the police, but just as I hit confirm, someone slapped it from my
03:06hand.
03:07Selena, I know you look down on me.
03:10That you think ordinary wolves like us don't deserve to enter your home.
03:14But how can you call the police on us just for visiting Zane's house?
03:18What did we do wrong?
03:20Her words instantly ignited everyone's anger.
03:22It's just a visit!
03:23Is calling the police really necessary?
03:27Pretending to be kind, but what a vicious heart.
03:30You really think you're something special, don't you?
03:34Selena!
03:35I tasted blood in my mouth.
03:38Safia covered her mouth, her eyes glistening with fake sympathy.
03:41She sighed dramatically.
03:42This is all my fault.
03:44If it weren't for me, everyone wouldn't have made Selena unhappy.
03:47Rich wolves like Selena naturally look down on ordinary wolves like us.
03:52It's normal.
03:54Again, her tried and true class warfare routine.
03:56Damn it!
03:57I hate people who think money makes them better than others!
04:00Stop talking to her!
04:01Let's teach her a lesson!
04:04Two men immediately grabbed my arms, roughly forcing me to the ground.
04:10Zane picked up a bottle of red wine, his eyes glinting with cruelty and satisfaction as he approached.
04:17I think you're not thinking clearly today.
04:20Let me help you clear your head.
04:21Soaking my clothes and hair in sticky humiliation, anger and frustration boiled inside me.
04:26The curse had just been lifted, leaving me weakened and unable to resist.
04:30Zane, that's enough.
04:32I'm sure Selena knows she was wrong now.
04:35Selena, just apologize to Zane, and this will all be over.
04:39We're all friends.
04:40No need to make things too ugly.
04:42My eyes fixed on the pendant around her neck.
04:46Sophia, take that off.
04:49Now!
04:50That was my grandmother's!
04:52You have no right to wear it!
04:54This necklace, Zane gave it to me.
04:57He said it looked beautiful on me.
04:59Selena, can you stop being so unreasonable for once?
05:04Your grandmother's been dead for years.
05:06Who I give it to is my business.
05:10Zane, read!
05:11Do you have any conscience at all?
05:13That's my grandmother's keepsake.
05:16How dare you give it to someone else?
05:19After my family sheltered you for seven years,
05:23at least give it back!
05:26Zane hated when anyone mentioned his past as an orphan.
05:29It shattered what little self-esteem he possessed.
05:31Who told you to bring that up?
05:34You really do look down on me, don't you?
05:36Selena Ashfield, you've always thought of me as your family's dog!
05:41Zane, don't be angry.
05:43Selena didn't mean it, she's just upset.
05:45Sophia clung to Zane's arm, adding fuel to the fire.
05:48Her eyes drifted toward my room, a cold smile playing at her lips.
05:52Oh, I think I saw Selena's computer was still on earlier.
05:56The enrollment portal is already logged in.
05:58Why don't we help her submit her academy choices?
06:00Save her the trouble.
06:02No! Don't you dare!
06:03My heart's seized in my chest.
06:05You think scoring at the top of the exams makes you better than me, Selena?
06:08Let me tell you something.
06:10Even if you qualified for Alpha Academy, you'll still obey me.
06:14So, Sophia, where should our dear Miss Ashfield spend the next few years?
06:19Hmm, let me see.
06:20I heard Meadowbrook Academy has an excellent servant training program.
06:23Why don't we enroll Selena there?
06:25With your look, Selena, you'd probably be their star student.
06:28Ha!
06:28Can you imagine Alpha Selena serving us?
06:31What an honor!
06:32Zane, you're a genius!
06:33No, please!
06:33Zane, I'm begging you!
06:35This is my future!
06:36You can't do this to me!
06:37Selena, I'm helping you.
06:39Training to be a servant?
06:40What's wrong with that?
06:41Then you can serve me properly for the rest of your life.
06:44That's so thoughtful of you, Zane.
06:46Sophia leaned into him.
06:48I watched helplessly as Zane sat at my desk, filling out form after form.
06:53Every single choice.
06:54The same program at Meadowbrook Academy.
06:57Servant training.
06:58He hit submit with a triumphant smile.
07:00The confirmation screen flashed.
07:01Zane, you can't do this to me!
07:03It was done.
07:05Irreversible.
07:06Selena, take a good look at your future.
07:09He raised it high and then let it drop.
07:11The laptop crashed onto the marble floor, shattering into pieces.
07:15A shard of plastic flew up and sliced across my cheek, leaving a thin line of blood.
07:20I couldn't understand it.
07:21What had my family ever done to deserve this hatred?
07:24Oh, wait!
07:26I just remembered.
07:27Tomorrow is the enrollment deadline, isn't it?
07:29Selena, you weren't planning to go to find a computer to change it, were you?
07:33Zane's expression darkened his understanding.
07:35Lock her in the basement.
07:36He ordered the two wolves beside him, his voice flat and emotionless.
07:40Our basement was dark, damp, and airless.
07:43No sunlight ever reached it.
07:44And I had claustrophobia, a terror of encased spaces that had haunted me since childhood.
07:49Please, no! Zane, you can't lock me down there!
07:50You know I'm afraid!
07:53Please!
07:57I'll stay right here in the living room!
07:58I won't go anywhere!
07:59I'll just sit here and watch!
08:01Please!
08:01Just not the basement!
08:02Zane, you can't go soft now.
08:04What if she escapes?
08:05All our hard work would be for nothing.
08:07I huddled alone in the corner, surrounded by endless darkness.
08:12I curled up on the cold concrete floor, my whole body shaking uncontrollably.
08:17I want to go to Switzerland!
08:19Let's go on a trip!
08:20I want to go skiing in Switzerland!
08:23Sure.
08:24Wherever you want to go, we'll go.
08:25I'll show you the world.
08:27This was when the memories came flooding back.
08:30Memories I'd tried so hard to suppress.
08:32I was ten when father brought Zane home, that same night.
08:36He told me the truth.
08:37A witch had cursed our bloodline a century ago because my great-grandfather rejected her love.
08:42Until Zane turned eighteen, I had to obey him in everything.
08:46Disobedience meant thorns wrapping around my heart, squeezing until I couldn't breathe.
08:50I tried to resist once.
08:51The pain dropped me to the floor, screaming.
08:54I never tried again.
08:55For seven years, I endured the curse in silence,
08:58counting down the days until his eighteenth birthday would set me free.
09:01When I opened my eyes again, I was in a hospital bed.
09:05The maid had found me after they left, and called an ambulance.
09:07That ungrateful bastard!
09:09We sheltered him for seven years, and this is how he repays us!
09:12Freeze every account under Zane Reed's name, effective immediately!
09:15He ended the call and looked at me, his eyes softened.
09:17From this day forward, the Ashford family owes that boy nothing.
09:21The truth was, I'd been pre-selected by Alpha Academy months before the exams.
09:25They'd already guaranteed me a place in their academy.
09:27I only took the entrance exams to stay by Zane's side.
09:31Meanwhile, in Switzerland, Zane discovered his card had been frozen,
09:35so whatever he'd submitted in my name meant nothing.
09:38It couldn't touch my real future.
09:40He thought he was destroying me.
09:42But all he'd really destroyed was the last shred of connection between us.
09:46In Switzerland, Zane's card was declined.
09:49He immediately pulled out his phone and called me.
09:53No answer.
09:54The automated message indicated I blocked him.
09:57The number you have dialed has been blocked.
09:58Selena thinks she can force me to come crawling back with these childish games?
10:03Pathetic.
10:03She's just jealous, Zane.
10:05She can't stand seeing you happy.
10:08Forget about her.
10:09She thinks cutting off my cards will break me?
10:12I've got my own money.
10:13More than enough for us to enjoy ourselves.
10:15He continued his lavish vacation with Sophia,
10:18burning through every last sentence for so long.
10:21Finally, enrollment day arrived.
10:24Excuse me, which dormitory is Selena Ashfield assigned to?
10:28The staff member checked her list.
10:30I'm sorry, but we don't have any student by that name enrolled here.
10:33That's impossible.
10:34Check again.
10:35Selena Ashfield, she is an alpha!
10:38Sir, there's no one by that name in our system.
10:41And frankly, why would an alpha enroll at Meadowback?
10:43His throat went dry.
10:45Maybe she was planning to wait another year?
10:47No, wait.
10:48More likely, she'd already enrolled at his academy.
10:51Handled the formalities for him as before.
10:53He regained his confidence.
10:55Sounded exactly like something Selena would do.
10:58He toured Meadowbrook's administration building.
11:00He tapped the table and asked the information.
11:02I'm sorry, Mr. Reed.
11:03There's no record of your enrollment.
11:06He muttered checking his phone obsessively.
11:08What the hell is going on?
11:10Zay, can we just register already?
11:13My feet hurt and I'm sweating.
11:16Yeah, fine.
11:17Whatever.
11:18When his turn finally came, Zayn handed over his card with barely disguised contempt for
11:23his surroundings.
11:24The cashier swiped it.
11:27Transaction declined.
11:28Insufficient funds.
11:30Zayn's face went white.
11:31Run it again.
11:32There must be an error.
11:34Transaction declined.
11:35Whispers rippled through the line behind him.
11:37Eyes burned into his back.
11:38Furious and humiliated, Zayn snatched the card back.
11:42His fingers trembled, barely able to hold the bank card, and immediately dialed my number.
11:48Blocked.
11:48The number you have dialed is blocked.
11:51A thread of real panic started to wind around his chest.
11:53He scrolled frantically and found my father's assistant's number.
11:57I don't care what you're doing.
11:58Unfreeze my accounts.
12:00Now, this is Selena throwing a tantrum and you're all playing along?
12:04Tell Mr. Ashford I need my money.
12:06Mr. Reed, I believe you're mistaken.
12:07This is Mr. Ashford's decision, not Ms. Selena's.
12:10He has formally dissolved your adoption through legal channels.
12:13From this moment forward, the Ashford family has no obligation to provide you with financial
12:16or material support of any kind.
12:19What did you just say?
12:20The adoption has been terminated, Mr. Reed.
12:22You are no longer affiliated with the Ashfield family.
12:25You're lying.
12:26Put my father on the phone.
12:28He wouldn't...
12:28Mr. Ashford is not your father.
12:31Not anymore.
12:32You're welcome to attempt to contact him directly, though I should inform you that he's blocked
12:36your number.
12:38Zane tried calling my father anyway, blocked his mind real.
12:41This couldn't be happening.
12:42They couldn't just cut him off, not after seven years.
12:45Not after everything.
12:46Zane, what are we going to do?
12:48I used all my credit cards for the trip.
12:50I can't afford both our tuitions.
12:52Her heart felt like it was being put through a meat grinder, but looking at his still handsome
12:56face, thinking about the wealth that surely he'd get back eventually.
12:59Sophia forced a smile, trying to sound understanding.
13:03Oh, Zane, don't say it like that.
13:04We're together, aren't we?
13:06What's mine is yours.
13:07Don't talk about borrowing.
13:08That's so formal.
13:09When the receipt printed, Sophia felt like her heart was bleeding.
13:13Sophia, you're amazing.
13:14I promise.
13:15When I get everything back from the Ashfords, I'll buy you ten designer bags.
13:19A hundred.
13:19Whatever you want.
13:20The two embrace.
13:22I don't care about your money, Zane.
13:23I love you for you.
13:25They were just about to head to the most expensive restaurant nearby to celebrate when
13:29Zane's phone started vibrating.
13:31Violently, he expected it to be me finally giving in and begging him to come back a satisfied
13:36smirk.
13:37Give me my money back, Zane.
13:38What the hell is this?
13:39Your family sent us legal notices demanding damages?
13:42A vase worth $30,000?
13:44Are you insane?
13:45My parents saw the lawyer's letter and almost killed me.
13:47You're the one who invited us over.
13:49You fix this.
13:50Zane's face drained of all color.
13:52He'd never imagined I would do something like this.
13:54Desperate to save face.
13:55He typed quickly, why are you all freaking out?
13:57This is Selena being crazy.
13:59It has nothing to do with-
14:00Do with you?
14:01You're the one who said we could do whatever we wanted.
14:03You told us it was your house.
14:05The legal letter is real, Zane.
14:06If we don't pay, we're getting sued.
14:08You're rich, just cover it for us.
14:09If we don't pay, we're getting sued as Zane stared at the screen, watching his former
14:13friends turn on him.
14:14A harsh voice cut through the air behind him.
14:18Excuse me.
14:20Which one of you is Zane Reed?
14:22He looked up to see seven or eight middle-aged men and women marching toward him, their faces
14:27twisted with anger.
14:28The woman in front clutched a crumpled legal notice in her fist.
14:31While Zane wallowed in his misery at Meadowbrook, I stood on the stage at Alpha Academy's Grand
14:36Ceremonial Hall.
14:37The spotlight illuminated me as hundreds of the strongest young alphas looked on with respect
14:41and admiration, the warmth of the light.
14:43It felt like freedom itself washing away.
14:45Seven years of darkness.
14:46Seven years bound by a curse.
14:48Seven years of force.
14:49Dad.
14:50Servitude.
14:58My fellow students, faculty members, thank you for being here.
15:04My name is Selina Ashfield.
15:07I hope that in these next few years, you'll pursue your dreams with courage and conviction.
15:15No matter what fate throws at us, we are the ones who write our own stories.
15:20I bowed to the audience, the applause was thunderous, echoing off the stone walls as I stepped down
15:25from the stage.
15:26My wolf hummed with deep satisfaction.
15:29Inside me, this was just the beginning.
15:31Back at Meadowbrook, Zane checked his phone obsessively every few minutes.
15:35Nothing, no messages, no missed calls, he opened our chat my profile picture.
15:39Stared back at him cold and distant, with a red exclamation mark and a system message
15:45beneath it.
15:46Message sent but rejected by recipient Sophia.
15:48Sophia, curled up in the corner of their shabby couch.
15:51How dare she?
15:52What gave her the right?
15:54That woman who'd followed me around like a pathetic puppy, pathetic puppy for seven years,
15:59she'd actually blocked him!
16:04She was landing the Ashford heir a golden ticket to wealth.
16:08Instead, she'd caught a useless entitled fraud.
16:10Now she was D, Roe, inning in debt with nothing to show for it as she watched him throw another
16:16tantrum accomplishing.
16:17Nothing, she cursed him silently a thousand times over.
16:21Suddenly, Zane's phone screen lit up his eyes, brightened instantly, like a drowning
16:25man spotting a lifeline.
16:27A smug smile crossed his face as he snatched up the phone.
16:33Selena, I knew you'd come back to me.
16:36Hello?
16:37Yes, yes, this is Zane.
16:38This is Morrison and Associates Law Firm.
16:41Regarding the property damage case, we're calling on behalf of our client, Ms. Selena
16:45Ashford.
16:45We're formally notifying you that she will be filing a civil lawsuit against you for destruction
16:49of property valued at approximately $200,000.
16:52My good mood lasted exactly until I saw Zane's face outside the library.
16:57Of all the rotten luck, he walked straight up to me, his tone commanding as if nothing had
17:01changed.
17:02All right, Selena, enough of this drama.
17:06I'm admitting defeat, okay?
17:08Let's call a truce and move on.
17:10I stared at him in disbelief.
17:12Defeat?
17:14Zane, are you out of your mind?
17:15You think this is some kind of game?
17:17Zane clearly hadn't expected such a firm rejection.
17:20His face darkened instantly.
17:25You got into Alpha Academy anyway.
17:27You were pre-selected and didn't even tell me.
17:30My efforts to stay calm.
17:33He stepped closer, his voice dropping to a threatening whisper.
17:38Selena, don't forget.
17:41You're supposed to marry me eventually.
17:44I laughed coldly.
17:46No need.
17:47Who wants to marry you anyway?
17:49Save yourself for your true love, Sophia.
17:51You two are perfect for each other.
17:56His expression shifted to something like realization, as if he'd figured out some great secret.
18:01Oh, so you're jealous of Sophia?
18:03Fine, I can break up with her.
18:04Is that what you want to hear?
18:06He paused, then continued with exasperation.
18:10Coming here without telling me?
18:12That was childish.
18:15I was speechless.
18:18How about this?
18:19You wait a year, and next time we'll come to Alpha Academy together.
18:23Sound good?
18:24Zane, I suggest you see a neurologist.
18:26With your intelligence, you couldn't get into Alpha Academy if you studied for ten years straight.
18:31The only reason he'd passed the entrance exams at all was because I'd tutored him relentlessly.
18:35I moved to walk past him, done with this conversation, but Zane grabbed my arm, refusing to let go.
18:41What do I have to do?
18:43I pulled my arm free.
18:44The idea of fun was spending my family's money on another woman's gifts.
18:48It was flirting with her online while I spent every night tutoring you.
18:55The curse had made me think I should love Tim.
18:57For a brief time, the thorns around my heart had convinced me.
19:00What do I have to do?
19:02Just tell me what you want and I'll do it!
19:04I'm sorry about the necklace!
19:06About the enrollment!
19:08About everything!
19:09I stopped and turned back to face him one last time.
19:14Let me tell you what really happened, Zane.
19:17Your witch ancestor cursed my family because my great-grandfather rejected her.
19:21Every time I tried to resist you, thorns wrapped around my heart.
19:25Zane's mouth opened, but no sound came out.
19:28You had seven years of devotion you never earned and never deserved!
19:31Zane, the witch's revenge is over, and so are we.
19:35I turned and walked away, my footsteps steady and short.
19:39Wait! Selina, please!
19:41But I didn't stop.
19:43Didn't look back, behind me.
19:44I heard him call my name again, his voice breaking.
19:51Father's assistant informed me that Zane had shown up at company, demanding to see my father.
19:57Father had security thrown him out on sight.
19:59Zane was nothing.
20:00Desperate, he decided to return to the manor.
20:03Open up! You know who this is!
20:05He pressed the buzzer frantically, shouting at the security camera.
20:09No one responded.
20:11Meanwhile, Sophia wasn't faring much better.
20:14Just when she thought things couldn't get worse, a legal notice arrived.
20:17My legal team was suing her for damages totaling one million dollars.
20:21Panicking, she called Zane immediately.
20:25Zane! Selina's suing me for a million dollars!
20:29Where the hell do you think I'm getting money from?
20:31I can barely survive myself!
20:34Sophia snapped completely.
20:36No money? Then why were you pretending to be rich, you useless piece of trash?
20:40If it wasn't for you, Selina wouldn't have dumped me. This is all your fault!
20:44My fault? You're the one who threw away someone who actually cared about you. You're the one who ruined everything.
20:48Shut up!
20:50He hung up and ran toward her apartment.
20:55What? You gonna hit me now? Go ahead! Do it!
20:58Zane's hand flew before he could do it.
21:01Shut up! I told you to shut up!
21:03She lunged at him, nails raking across his face.
21:06They fought viciously. No skill, no control. Just rage and desperation.
21:12Zane was stronger. He grabbed her shoulders and shoved hard.
21:15Sophia stumbled backward and then she was falling.
21:18She came to rest at the bottom completely still. Blood began pooling beneath her head.
21:25Zane stared down at her, frozen in horror for a moment.
21:35In the lecture hall at Alpha Academy, the instructor droned on about PAC law while students took notes.
21:40A message from father's assistant.
21:42Sophia Lane is in critical condition.
21:45Zane Reed in custody.
21:46Charge is pending.
21:47I took a deep breath and tucked the thoughts away.
21:50The bell rang, sharp and clear.
21:52I gathered my things slowly,
21:54looking out the tall windows at the campus grounds bathed in afternoon sunlight.
21:59Young wolves studied in groups on the lawn.
22:02The curse was broken.
22:03The witch's revenge had run its course.
22:05Seven years I'd waited for freedom.
22:07Now I had it.
22:08And an entire future stretching out before me, bright and unobstructed.
