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