Short filmTranscript
00:00:03Daughter and heir of the Moonstone Pack Alpha, that should mean something.
00:00:08Instead, and I'm about to hide myself, all because my father can't see past what I am.
00:00:20I yield!
00:00:25I won, father. I earned it.
00:00:29I am the Pack's future Alpha.
00:00:31You forget your place. I'm naming your cousin Marcus as Alpha.
00:00:34You'll marry the King and strengthen our alliance with the Royal Pack.
00:00:37That's not- I beat every challenger. I am the Alpha, not some bargaining chimp. I earned this.
00:00:41You earned nothing. You'll serve the Pack the way women always have, through a strategic marriage.
00:00:51If you won't give it to me, I'll take it myself. And I'm sure as hell not becoming some King's
00:00:55trophy wife.
00:00:56Tell me you're not actually doing this. Lupien Academy, do you have any idea what happens if they catch you?
00:01:00Lupien Academy graduates the strongest Alphas in the world. If I can survive it, I can build my own Pack.
00:01:05My own rules.
00:01:06It's an all-male Academy, Sarah. One mistake and you're exposed. Or worse.
00:01:10Then I won't make mistakes. I can't.
00:01:13Lily, please. I need your help.
00:01:17This will mask your scent. But if you shift into a wolf, your smell and fur will give you away
00:01:22instantly. There's no way around that.
00:01:27I'll remember. Thank you.
00:01:29Just be careful, Sarah.
00:01:32From now on, you can call me Seth.
00:01:50So this is...
00:01:53Lupien Academy.
00:01:57Are you okay?
00:01:58What happened?
00:02:00What happened?
00:02:12You did this?
00:02:15Yeah.
00:02:16So what?
00:02:27Real tough guy.
00:02:29Beating on someone.
00:02:31Half your size.
00:02:32Don't you know who that is?
00:02:34Ronan Volkstone.
00:02:36Strongest fighter in the Academy.
00:02:38I don't want more trouble.
00:02:40Strength isn't an excuse to be a bully.
00:02:43Real power means knowing when not to use it.
00:02:46Otherwise, you're just a wild animal.
00:02:48Is this kid suicidal?
00:02:49Fresh Meat's got a death wish.
00:02:52I give him a week.
00:02:53Okay.
00:03:09You have no idea how wild I can be.
00:03:12Don't test me.
00:03:13Anyone who picks fights with people who can't defend themselves isn't worth my respect.
00:03:18You've got nerve.
00:03:29Your scent, it's off.
00:03:33Shit.
00:03:34The masking scent.
00:03:35Is it not working?
00:03:42Lesson learned.
00:03:43But if you're as strong as they say, maybe you should learn some restraint.
00:03:48Save the tough guy act for people who actually threaten you.
00:04:01You want to know why his system crashed?
00:04:08He crossed into my territory without my permission.
00:04:12Sounds like what you're doing right now.
00:04:14Lupien Academy runs on one rule.
00:04:16Survival of the fittest.
00:04:17He challenged me.
00:04:18He was shut down.
00:04:24That power.
00:04:25He's not even trying and I can barely breathe.
00:04:30You smell strange.
00:04:32Who are you?
00:04:32Stay cool.
00:04:33Play it off.
00:04:34Seth Darvin.
00:04:35Freshman.
00:04:36And I'm late for dorm assignments, so I'll be going now.
00:04:46Interesting.
00:04:47Let's see what you're hiding.
00:04:49Did you hear?
00:04:50Ronan's actually staying in the dorms this year.
00:04:51The southern alpha's son.
00:04:52He's got connections to the king's inner circle.
00:04:55Why would someone like that slum it with the rest of us?
00:04:57The alpha king.
00:04:58My father wanted to marry me off to him.
00:04:59And Ronan has ties to the royal pack.
00:05:04Please don't let me run into that guy again.
00:05:18Evening, roomie.
00:05:25Hey!
00:05:26Don't come any closer.
00:05:29You're not even dressed.
00:05:31This is my room.
00:05:33I'm pretty sure that gives me the freedom.
00:05:39Why did you close the door?
00:05:44What do you think I'm about to do?
00:05:54How would I know?
00:06:01Why is it...
00:06:03when he gets this close?
00:06:13You're making me lose control.
00:06:21That reaction of yours...
00:06:24Something's off, pup.
00:06:26Blushing just from looking at me.
00:06:28Don't tell me you...
00:06:29No way!
00:06:29He's my mate?
00:06:31Am I really about to blow my cover on day one?
00:06:40Don't tell me you're into men.
00:06:42I guess he can't feel the pull because of the masking scent.
00:06:44Don't be stupid.
00:06:45I am just...
00:06:46I'm not used to this.
00:06:47Alright, pup.
00:06:48Since we're roommates, I'll cut you some slack.
00:06:51You can use my shower.
00:06:52What?
00:06:53You just got here, didn't you?
00:06:55Ditch those filthy clothes.
00:06:56Take a shower.
00:06:57Loosen up.
00:06:58What?
00:06:58Don't be such a girl.
00:07:00We're roommate, we'll see each other naked sooner or later.
00:07:03Want me to help you out of those clothes?
00:07:06I was just saying, why shower now?
00:07:08I mean, I hate showers.
00:07:10I like being filthy.
00:07:11Sometimes I go weeks, months without bathing.
00:07:14And that weird smell you mentioned?
00:07:16It might be me.
00:07:18Enough!
00:07:19Don't come any closer.
00:07:20Clean yourself up before I get back.
00:07:23Germ freak, huh?
00:07:24Scared him off that easy.
00:07:26Please, let him stay gone tonight.
00:07:28No forever.
00:07:33Check it out.
00:07:35Fresh meat finally figured out where the cafeteria is.
00:07:38Took him long enough.
00:07:39Someone should teach the new kid how things work around here.
00:07:43What the hell?
00:07:45Whoa.
00:07:45My bad.
00:07:46Didn't see you there.
00:07:47You are what, five foot nothing?
00:07:49Should wear a sign or something.
00:07:50Sorry about that.
00:07:51Let me make it up to you.
00:07:55Man.
00:07:56They're really letting anybody in these days.
00:08:00Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:08:12If you're too scared for an actual fight,
00:08:15Just say so.
00:08:24Do we have a problem here?
00:08:29In order.
00:08:31That's my roommate you're messing with.
00:08:33I'm sorry, Ronan. I didn't know he's yours. I messed up. Please!
00:08:38Save it.
00:08:48I didn't need your help.
00:08:51I know. But if you're gonna go down, it should be in training.
00:08:59Not because some idiot picked a fight in the cafeteria.
00:09:03I'm not going down at all.
00:09:06We'll see.
00:09:12All trainees, report to the training grounds immediately.
00:09:18Looks like you won't have to wait long to prove it.
00:09:35The Lunar Pull is growing ahead of schedule.
00:09:38You wolves are getting in restless.
00:09:40To keep you from going, Farrakh.
00:09:43We're moving straight to combat trials.
00:09:46One-on-one duels.
00:09:48Choose your opponents.
00:09:50Three synxecutive wins move you up.
00:09:52Three synxecutive losses, you pack your bags.
00:09:56Win or get out.
00:09:59What's wrong? Need some more dairy.
00:10:02Huh.
00:10:11AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
00:10:15Whoa.
00:10:19Whoa.
00:10:22Huh.
00:10:32Next.
00:10:41I can't let him shift.
00:10:52This runt. Hell, this guy's insanely strong.
00:10:59One more win and he advances. Who's he picking last?
00:11:06For the final round, I challenge you, Ronan Volkstate.
00:11:23I'll give him credit. He's got guts.
00:11:25But challenging Ronan? Is he crazy?
00:11:28You've got nerve.
00:11:30I've got more than that.
00:11:39The calf's not trained enough.
00:11:56He's a boy. So why does he look appetizing?
00:12:09One inch closer and I'll take it as intent.
00:12:21You're losing. Why won't you shift?
00:12:29Because I don't need to shift to put you down.
00:12:48What was that?
00:12:50You think I can't handle a fall?
00:12:52I just don't want to win because you tripped.
00:12:55That's not a real victory.
00:12:58What are you doing?
00:13:00This fight's over.
00:13:02Come back when you can shift.
00:13:04Then we'll finish this properly.
00:13:06Did he figure it out?
00:13:15And do yourself a favor, milk pup.
00:13:20Take a shower before our rematch.
00:13:23You still reek.
00:13:29This guy.
00:13:30He stirs something in me.
00:13:32Why?
00:13:45What was that?
00:13:47I just don't want to win because you tripped.
00:13:48That's not a real victory.
00:13:52What's all this about?
00:13:54What's all this about?
00:14:09Wait! Don't come in!
00:14:30First time I've seen a guy wrap a towel like that.
00:14:33Yeah?
00:14:35Well, now you have.
00:14:40Mind stepping out? I'm not done yet.
00:14:51I'm not waiting.
00:14:53Just finish up whatever you're doing and I'll shower.
00:14:55No big deal.
00:14:57No!
00:15:00Why?
00:15:01What are you afraid of?
00:15:02We're both men.
00:15:03Anything you've got, I've got too.
00:15:06Though...
00:15:07You don't look like most guys.
00:15:10Softer eyes.
00:15:11Smoothier skin.
00:15:12You're almost...
00:15:13Don't be ridiculous.
00:15:14You're the one acting like a girl.
00:15:17Desperate much.
00:15:18If you want to shower that bad, take it.
00:15:20I'll leave.
00:15:27I wasn't saying you look like a girl.
00:15:29Don't look!
00:15:37Why are you so soft?
00:15:39Shut up.
00:15:40Shut up!
00:15:44And close your eyes.
00:15:45Let go of me.
00:15:46Alright, alright.
00:15:47You're reacting an awful lot like a girl.
00:15:50It's...
00:15:50Uh...
00:15:51My family's old fashioned.
00:15:52If someone sees you bodied, you're supposed to marry them.
00:15:54I'm not gay.
00:15:56You're not either.
00:15:57So...
00:15:57Trust me.
00:15:58This is for both our sakes.
00:16:04Not gay.
00:16:05Huh.
00:16:09Well, well.
00:16:10Mighty Seth Darwin, everybody.
00:16:13Can't even hit a stationary target.
00:16:17Never said I was good at archery.
00:16:19But I didn't need a bow to put you on your ass yesterday.
00:16:22That was luck.
00:16:23Pure luck.
00:16:24You want a real test?
00:16:25How about a match before class ends?
00:16:28Loser kneels down and cleans the winner's boots.
00:16:31I have nothing to prove to you.
00:16:35What?
00:16:36Scared?
00:16:36Fine.
00:16:37You're on.
00:16:52Fine.
00:16:56Yes, I was just gonna'
00:16:57To install you.
00:16:57Yes, I mean.
00:16:58Do not need anything as it will do.
00:17:02Drive with your shoulder.
00:17:04Feel the rhythm.
00:17:06Don't fight it.
00:17:11I don't need your help.
00:17:15Just take the advice
00:17:16Most of these guys trained before they got here
00:17:20The instructors won't slow down for you
00:17:23You're gripping too tight
00:17:25You gotta relax
00:17:26Let the bow do the work
00:17:29You're crowding me
00:17:32Fine
00:17:35Then show me a bullseye
00:17:45That's it
00:17:47I get it now
00:17:49Again
00:17:54I did it
00:17:56Congrats
00:17:58Damn it
00:17:58Why do I feel this way about a guy?
00:18:01It's just because he's a new trainee
00:18:02That's all
00:18:03I can feel him bringing out my heat
00:18:05Is something wrong with your scent, Glenn?
00:18:20I've always been like this
00:18:22When I push too hard or get nervous
00:18:24My neck heats up
00:18:27You
00:18:28I swear
00:18:29It's not really
00:18:30It's not because of you
00:18:36Relax
00:18:36I was just saying
00:18:38You've got talent
00:18:43Especially when it comes to softening me up
00:18:47Class is almost over, Seth
00:18:51You managed to hit the target yet
00:18:53Or are you still warming up?
00:18:58I hit it
00:18:59And beating you is going to be easier than I thought
00:19:01Big words
00:19:02Let's go
00:19:03Now
00:19:04Leo
00:19:05Get over here
00:19:06You're the referee
00:19:12Best two out of three
00:19:15Works for me
00:19:16Last chance to back out
00:19:18My boots are pretty dirty
00:19:19And could use a clean
00:19:27Less talk
00:19:29More shooting
00:19:29Your turn
00:19:31How the hell did he get that good that fast?
00:19:33No way I'm losing to this nobody
00:19:34No way
00:19:39You were missing all morning
00:19:41I call foul
00:19:42Check his bow
00:19:43Something's off with it
00:19:45Be my guest
00:19:46I'm curious how you think someone cheats with a bow
00:19:54I'll inspect it too
00:19:55Make sure we're thorough
00:20:02Looks fine to me
00:20:08Everything checks out
00:20:10Take your shot, Seth
00:20:21And you thought you could compete with me?
00:20:24That's adorable
00:20:25Why don't you just go home?
00:20:33Pathetic
00:20:34Just quit already
00:20:52What?
00:20:53You're going to defend that weakling
00:20:55He's not working
00:21:10He's not working
00:21:11Pull something like that again and next time
00:21:12I won't miss
00:21:21The string was cut
00:21:22Fresh marks along the fibre
00:21:26Jordan accused Seth of cheating and demanded an inspection
00:21:30Orion volunteered to help check the bow
00:21:32Convenient cheat
00:21:34That's bullshit
00:21:35I didn't do anything
00:21:38Empty your pockets
00:21:40Come on, Gideon
00:21:41This is ridiculous
00:21:42I didn't do anything
00:21:47Either of you have anything to say?
00:21:53Since you're both suddenly quiet
00:21:55You'll be cleaning the academy toilets
00:21:57One week
00:22:00Morning and night shifts
00:22:01What?
00:22:02I'm an alpha
00:22:03You want me scrubbing toilets?
00:22:05Two weeks
00:22:09Janitor Jordan
00:22:10Has a nice ring to it
00:22:11Guess being an alpha doesn't mean much when you cheat
00:22:15You're going to regret this pretty boy
00:22:17I swear I'll make you pay
00:22:27What am I doing?
00:22:28Why can't I stay calm around him?
00:22:32Shirt off, please
00:22:33I need to get to the wound
00:22:34It's fine
00:22:35I can handle it myself
00:22:37Don't be stubborn
00:22:38The wound's there
00:22:39How are you supposed to reach it?
00:22:42Seth
00:22:44What exactly are you hiding?
00:22:46Tell me
00:22:46He hasn't figured it out
00:22:56Bring his dinner, please
00:22:57I'll take care of the wound
00:23:21This worked for you
00:23:22No need to take your shirt off
00:23:38You can go
00:23:41What are you doing?
00:23:43Feeding you
00:23:43Obviously
00:23:47I can do it myself
00:23:48Open
00:23:59My neck's heating up again
00:24:00Lily said if it keeps reacting
00:24:02To the same person
00:24:04It means fate
00:24:05Don't tell me it's him
00:24:08What are you hiding?
00:24:17No
00:24:18I can't let this keep happening
00:24:20I need to stay away from him
00:24:22Or I'm going to blow my cover
00:24:36Get it together, Serafina
00:24:38Stop thinking about him
00:24:50Why am I reacting like this?
00:24:52To a guy
00:25:09Fuck
00:25:15Everything alright, king?
00:25:25I'm fine
00:25:28I should keep my distance for now
00:25:30Get myself together
00:25:37Kai Valentine is returning to the academy tomorrow
00:25:39I know he's been a thorn in your side since our last king passed
00:25:43Any special instructions
00:25:44He won't make waves
00:25:46Not here
00:25:49And keep Seth away from me during training
00:25:53Yeah
00:25:53But who's the only way sliding
00:26:19Around
00:26:19Living
00:26:21That沒事
00:26:22Mask
00:26:22I can't
00:26:23So
00:26:26Didn't hear Kai was coming back
00:26:29Of course he is
00:26:30Ronan's still here
00:26:31Those two have been fighting for the top spot
00:26:39Kai
00:26:41Fall in
00:26:42Yes sir
00:26:50You're Seth right?
00:26:51Kai Valentine
00:26:52I've been curious about you
00:26:54For a while
00:27:06Given some people's performance yesterday
00:27:09Today we're doing paired endurance training
00:27:11This is all about trust
00:27:13And synchronization
00:27:14Partner up
00:27:22He's avoiding me
00:27:24Probably for the best
00:27:26But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed
00:27:33Ronan
00:27:39Any chance I get the honor of being your partner?
00:27:42Sweet pup
00:27:46If you're willing to talk like a normal person
00:27:52You're not what I pictured
00:27:53Sorry
00:27:54Let me try again
00:27:55Can I be your partner?
00:27:57I've got a feeling we'd sync well
00:28:01If you can keep that version of yourself
00:28:04Then
00:28:04Sure
00:28:15Step away from him
00:28:16That's not your call
00:28:28Didn't know you had it in you
00:28:30For a second there
00:28:31I almost thought you were jealous
00:28:35What am I doing?
00:28:36I said I'd keep my distance
00:28:39I just don't like seeing people get played
00:28:43I think Seth's old enough
00:28:45To tell the difference
00:28:46Between sincerely and manipulation
00:28:48Enough
00:28:50I'm here to train
00:28:51Not watch you two measure egos
00:28:53If we don't start
00:28:54The instructor's going to make us run laps
00:28:58Ronan
00:28:59I remember you
00:29:00Nova joined partner training
00:29:16Take a minute
00:29:17Get to know your partner
00:29:18Look
00:29:19Scent
00:29:20Hell
00:29:20Make out if it helps
00:29:25Get familiar with your partner
00:29:26After that
00:29:28Blindfolded search
00:29:29Five minutes
00:29:30Fail to find them
00:29:32You stay and train until you do
00:29:38I remember the lecture
00:29:40Best way to recognize a wolf
00:29:42Is scent
00:29:45Exactly
00:29:46So
00:29:49Pine and leather
00:29:51Got it
00:30:01Did he just smell Kai's neck?
00:30:03So what?
00:30:04He challenged Ronan before
00:30:05At least Kai's easier to deal with
00:30:14Ronan
00:30:14You don't get a partner
00:30:15So don't interfere with ours
00:30:17This exercise is about awareness
00:30:19Not standing there like an idiot
00:30:23Good
00:30:23Let this class end
00:30:25Without anyone else
00:30:25Getting curious about my neck
00:30:28What are you hiding?
00:30:35Seth
00:30:36I'm your partner
00:30:38We're not done getting familiar
00:30:47Right
00:30:47So
00:30:49How do you want to do this?
00:30:52You said it yourself
00:30:53To know a wolf
00:30:54You start with the scent
00:30:59Time's up
00:31:02Everyone
00:31:03Line up
00:31:04Now
00:31:05One partner gets blindfolded
00:31:07The other hides among volunteers
00:31:08No talking
00:31:0990 seconds
00:31:10Find your partner by touch and scent alone
00:31:12Succeed
00:31:13And you're done
00:31:14Fail
00:31:14You're running laps
00:31:20Good thing I'm the one searching
00:31:21Otherwise
00:31:23This drill would be a nightmare
00:31:33Wait
00:31:34They're not wearing shirts
00:31:36Seth
00:31:38What do you think you're doing?
00:31:39Sorry sir
00:31:40I'm
00:31:40I'm searching
00:31:45Oh my god
00:31:46I'm not trying to cop a feel
00:31:51Damn it
00:31:51At this distance
00:31:52I can't even reach his neck
00:31:57That sound
00:31:58Was that Ronan?
00:32:05Which one?
00:32:06Is it Kai or Ronan?
00:32:07This would be so much easier
00:32:08If I could just smell them
00:32:10Why'd you stop?
00:32:11Mine feels better than his
00:32:12Doesn't it?
00:32:24Shut up Kai
00:32:30You three
00:32:31Who said you could talk?
00:32:34Sorry sir
00:32:35That was
00:32:38My fault
00:32:39I couldn't identify my partner
00:32:42Kai and I
00:32:43Will take the penalty training
00:32:49Tonight's freshman night
00:32:50Extra training will be scheduled later
00:33:02I'll
00:33:02Head back to the dorm
00:33:05I'll walk with you
00:33:06We're partners after all
00:33:08And clearly we need to get better acquainted
00:33:15Look who it is
00:33:16The custorial crew
00:33:17Two weeks of this
00:33:19Two weeks of being everyone's punch known
00:33:21We need to change the narrative
00:33:23Get everyone talking about something else
00:33:25He dresses tight
00:33:26Never shifts
00:33:28Almost like a girl
00:33:29Freshman night
00:33:30Will you get him drunk?
00:33:34Yeah
00:33:34Stripe him
00:33:36Call in a few guys
00:33:37Film it
00:33:37Let the whole academy see
00:33:42You'll really quit freshman night
00:33:44No need
00:33:45I heard Seth will be there
00:33:51I told you
00:33:52Keep him away from me
00:33:54Sure
00:33:55But you don't look happy about it
00:33:58Have you thought about maybe
00:33:59Facing your feelings
00:34:01Instead of avoiding them
00:34:10Seth
00:34:10I owe you an apology
00:34:12I was a jerk
00:34:13But
00:34:14I respect you
00:34:18Drink up
00:34:19Brothers from now on
00:34:23What?
00:34:24You too good to drink with me?
00:34:25One glass
00:34:26That's all
00:34:30Don't listen to him
00:34:30He can't hold his liquor
00:34:32Luckily for you
00:34:33I can
00:34:34You didn't have to do that
00:34:36In a wolf pack
00:34:37A drunk freshman is easy prey
00:34:38Trust me
00:34:52I appreciate the help
00:34:54But I didn't refuse
00:34:55Because I'm easy prey
00:35:00I'm a wolf
00:35:01One aiming for the top
00:35:21Seth
00:35:21I've got one more apology gift for you
00:35:24Vera here is the best dancer in town
00:35:26And
00:35:28The best kisser
00:35:33She's that gorgeous
00:35:34And you won't kiss her
00:35:36What?
00:35:37Are you actually a girl under there?
00:35:40Kiss!
00:35:40Kiss!
00:35:41Kiss!
00:35:55What the
00:35:56Are you a
00:35:58All right
00:35:59If Seth not into women
00:36:01I came prepared
00:36:14Take good care of my friend
00:36:17Relax
00:36:19Tonight
00:36:20We'll take care of you
00:36:25No
00:36:32This is way beyond freshman tradition
00:36:34Oh come on
00:36:35We're all future alphas here
00:36:37Don't be a buzzville
00:36:38Seth hasn't complained has he?
00:36:45Stop
00:36:50Enough of this
00:37:07Let him go
00:37:09Ronan
00:37:10Even you can't just blow up a freshman party
00:37:12Don't lump me in with you
00:37:13Seth
00:37:15You okay?
00:37:16Okay
00:37:19Looks like he's just fine with me
00:37:20Easy Ronan
00:37:21You look like a wolf whose mate just got stolen
00:37:23No
00:37:25Take me away
00:37:35Why do you always do things that mess with my head?
00:37:39It's not a misunderstanding
00:37:42Everything I do
00:37:44Comes from here
00:37:46Seth
00:37:47This
00:37:49You're my mate
00:37:51But you're a man
00:37:53That's why I feel this way
00:37:59All right
00:38:00All right Seth
00:38:00You've got me
00:38:01No more pretending
00:38:08Why?
00:38:10Why do you make my scent gland burn?
00:38:12Why does my heart race like this?
00:38:15Seth
00:38:16Because we
00:38:17Not now
00:38:18When you're sober
00:38:20Ronan
00:38:23Don't get too close
00:38:26I can't like you
00:38:30You're a woman?
00:38:34Our plan blew up
00:38:36Doesn't matter
00:38:38If he really is a she
00:38:42I'll get her kicked out of here
00:38:52Do you remember last night?
00:38:54My head's killing me
00:38:56Everything after the second drink is gone
00:39:01Did I do something stupid?
00:39:03Oh god
00:39:05Please tell me I didn't blow my cover
00:39:06No
00:39:07You just passed out
00:39:11If you're fine
00:39:12I've got things to handle
00:39:16What did I do?
00:39:19And why is Ronan acting like this?
00:39:21All freshmen report to the East Training Ground immediately
00:39:24Illegal substances were found at Howell Bar
00:39:27Body checks are mandatory
00:39:29Refusal equals expulsion
00:39:31A body check?
00:39:33That means I'm exposed
00:39:38You dragged me out here
00:39:39What do you actually want to say?
00:39:42Looks like Seth turned you down yesterday too
00:39:46You were right about one thing
00:39:48People should be honest about how they feel
00:39:50So let's keep it fair
00:39:52May the best man win
00:40:01Well
00:40:02Look who finally showed up
00:40:05Ronan's pet freshman
00:40:06What's wrong?
00:40:08Stripped down like the rest of us
00:40:10You two bid for this or
00:40:11Are you hiding something?
00:40:14You know what they say Seth?
00:40:16The harder you try to hide
00:40:17The more curious people get
00:40:19Back off man
00:40:21I'm not into guys
00:40:22This makes me uncomfortable
00:40:25Uncomfortable?
00:40:26What kind of alpha is uncomfortable around his fellow alphas?
00:40:30You always train fully clothed
00:40:32Never shower with the rest of us
00:40:34You spurn our freshman traditions
00:40:36What?
00:40:38Are you some kind of girl?
00:40:39I always thought he was a little too soft
00:40:41And his voice
00:40:43Always feels a little forced, doesn't it?
00:40:45It's just a family thing
00:40:46We only show ourselves to our future partner
00:40:49Save it
00:40:50This is Lupin Academy
00:40:51The rules here don't give a damn about your family
00:40:54I'm going live
00:40:55Rip it off
00:40:56Let's see it
00:40:57Is Seth a man
00:40:59Or a woman?
00:41:01Strip him!
00:41:01No women here
00:41:06If they find out who I am
00:41:08It's over
00:41:12Strip him!
00:41:13No women here!
00:41:20Seth will be inspected by me alone
00:41:23Everyone else stays put
00:41:24Cause trouble again
00:41:27And you'll be scrubbing toilets with Jordan
00:41:32Why does he get special treatment?
00:41:35He might be hiding illegal drugs
00:41:36And
00:41:37He's with me
00:41:38Anything wrong?
00:41:40I answer for it
00:41:41Don't think your little games went unnoticed
00:41:44Pull that again
00:41:45And you're done here
00:41:47Seth
00:41:49Come with me
00:41:50Being inspected by Ronan
00:41:52Is better than being exposed to all of them
00:41:55But what if he
00:42:06I didn't bring in anything illegal
00:42:08I swear I
00:42:14What are you doing?
00:42:15Aren't you supposed to inspect me?
00:42:17I don't need to
00:42:18I trust you
00:42:19And I hope
00:42:20You'll trust me too
00:42:23Whatever you're carrying
00:42:24Whatever you're hiding
00:42:25We're
00:42:26Friends
00:42:27Right?
00:42:31I don't want to watch you carry everything alone
00:42:42I'm not gay
00:42:45Neither am I
00:42:53Right
00:42:54Right
00:42:54I just thought you
00:43:00I won't push you, Seth
00:43:05But I hope
00:43:07You won't make me wait too long
00:43:10Does he know something?
00:43:12Seth
00:43:13You in there?
00:43:14Gideon called us for extra training
00:43:15I'm here!
00:43:23Let's go
00:43:24I could use a workout actually
00:43:46I need you to recheck Seth's file
00:43:48Get Reed involved if you have to
00:43:50Make it quick
00:43:56King
00:43:56Aren't you developing feelings for Seth?
00:43:59If he finds out investigating him behind his back
00:44:06It's better than watching her push herself to the brink
00:44:09I can wait for her to speak up
00:44:13But she doesn't look like someone who will
00:44:16Easily
00:44:16Wait
00:44:18She?
00:44:19Seth is a wo-
00:44:20This stays between us
00:44:32Here
00:44:33You earned it
00:44:38This will be better
00:44:39More electrolytes
00:44:57He just finished running
00:44:58Warm water's better for recovery
00:45:03Seth never drinks warm water
00:45:10You really think you know him that well?
00:45:16Maybe his preferences changed
00:45:18Used to train together in class
00:45:21But now
00:45:31Are they seriously fighting over who gets to give Seth a drink?
00:45:34That's not water
00:45:35That's a dominance display
00:45:51Thanks
00:45:52I prefer buying my own own water
00:45:59Wow
00:46:01He'd rather buy his own than take yours
00:46:05He didn't take yours either
00:46:06True
00:46:07But at least I'm still his training partner
00:46:09We'll keep working together instead of watching from the sidelines
00:46:14I'm warning you
00:46:16Stay away from him
00:46:18You don't get to decide feelings by giving orders, Ronan
00:46:32Break's over
00:46:33Back to training
00:46:51I'll spot you
00:46:53I'm his partner
00:46:54I've got this
00:47:08I can handle this on my own
00:47:13Those two as Paul aren't fighting for me
00:47:15They're treating me like a trophy
00:47:18I'm still too weak
00:47:20If I were strong enough, they wouldn't dare
00:47:24You hear about the restricted section in the library?
00:47:26That journal?
00:47:26The one that supposedly holds advanced combat techniques?
00:47:44If I were a legendary journal, where would I be?
00:48:10This is everything I could find on Seth Darvin's background
00:48:17Who's there?
00:48:39Just a stray cat
00:48:40If he's suspicious enough to investigate me
00:48:43Why protect me now?
00:48:44Did I hear wrong?
00:48:46Or was he investigating someone else?
00:48:55That'll be all
00:48:56You can go
00:49:08No matter what
00:49:11My identity cannot be exposed now
00:49:15Why are you investigating me?
00:49:23What did you find out?
00:49:25Tell me
00:49:25Or I swear I'll cut your throat
00:49:41You won't kill me
00:49:52And what makes you so sure?
00:49:55Because I haven't read the report
00:49:58I'd rather hear it from you
00:50:02Why you disguised yourself
00:50:03Why you came here
00:50:08You already knew?
00:50:11How long?
00:50:13Freshman night
00:50:13You drank too much
00:50:25You're the Alpha King
00:50:42You're the Alpha King
00:50:43What if I said yes?
00:50:49You asked me why I pretended to be a man
00:50:52Why I came here
00:50:57The truth is
00:51:00I'm naming your cousin Marcus as Alpha
00:51:03You'll marry the King
00:51:05And strengthen our alliance with the Royal Pack
00:51:09I came here to escape that marriage
00:51:12To build my own pack
00:51:14To become an Alpha on my own terms
00:51:17That's my answer
00:51:20Now you tell me
00:51:22Are you really him?
00:51:24The Alpha King?
00:51:30Can you answer one more question for me?
00:51:33What is it?
00:51:36Why didn't you want to become my Luna?
00:51:46So you really are the Alpha King
00:51:49Guess we're trading secrets now?
00:51:57Tell me why you refused
00:52:06Because I am no one's possession
00:52:12And because I can become an Alpha myself
00:52:17I'm not beneath any man
00:52:32I'm sorry
00:52:34So
00:52:36You won't report me to the Academy
00:52:38About pretending to be a man
00:52:39What I told you earlier was the truth
00:52:42I don't want to watch you carry everything alone
00:52:50I'm your mate too
00:52:51Did you know that?
00:53:05Don't
00:53:06Don't say anything
00:53:08Not yet
00:53:16Right now
00:53:17My only goal is to graduate and become an Alpha
00:53:20I can't afford any distractions
00:53:30Seth
00:53:31Let me help you with those
00:53:49What happened between them?
00:53:50Something feels different
00:53:54This time
00:53:55Make sure she can't hide it
00:53:56Relax
00:53:58Once the stimulant kicks in
00:54:00Her scent will give her away
00:54:01And her heat will kick in early
00:54:03Everyone finds out the truth
00:54:05No woman belongs at Lupine Academy
00:54:22Damn it
00:54:23I grabbed the wrong resagent
00:54:25I'll go swap it out
00:54:38My bad
00:54:39Totally on me
00:54:40There won't be a next time
00:55:02Something's wrong
00:55:04The masking scent
00:55:06It's not working
00:55:23You smell that?
00:55:25It's sweet
00:55:27Like a woman
00:55:29There's something off with this batch
00:55:30We'll grab a spare
00:55:35Interesting
00:55:36Seth
00:55:38Are you actually a woman?
00:55:46No
00:55:46It's worse
00:55:48My heat
00:55:50It's early
00:55:53I'll get something
00:55:54Just hold on
00:56:02There's no time
00:56:05Help me, Ronan
00:56:10Serafina
00:56:11Slow down
00:56:12Do you know what you're asking?
00:56:19Please
00:56:25Bloody hell
00:56:37What are you doing?
00:56:39Okay
00:56:40I'm gonna
00:56:40Beating
00:56:40What do you do?
00:56:45Come on
00:56:46Time
00:56:46Time
00:56:47Let us
00:56:53Pamton
00:56:54Honey

01:07:43Seth, hell of a mission.
01:07:46Congratulations.
01:07:48Thanks.
01:07:52Mind if I steal him for a moment?
01:08:01Seth, I owe you an apology for testing you, for pushing you, but I need to be honest.
01:08:08I don't care what you are.
01:08:10Man, woman, it doesn't matter to me.
01:08:13I like you.
01:08:33No, Kai.
01:08:35What you feel isn't love.
01:08:38You were using me as a way to compete with Ronan.
01:08:41You wanted to beat him, right?
01:08:48You don't need to explain.
01:08:50I see it clearly.
01:08:54When we were together, you looked like you were fighting for me.
01:08:58But your eyes were always on him.
01:09:01No, that's not...
01:09:03Fine, I admit it.
01:09:04At first, that was part of it.
01:09:07But after spending time with you, I really fell for you.
01:09:10No matter if you're Seth or Serafina.
01:09:15When did you figure it out?
01:09:17Are you saying this now to use my identity against me?
01:09:21No.
01:09:22I just wanted you to know...
01:09:25I could help you too.
01:09:27I really do love you.
01:09:28I'm sorry.
01:09:29I don't feel that way about you.
01:09:31Then who do you feel that way about?
01:09:32Ronan?
01:09:38Then how about one dance?
01:09:39That's all I'm asking.
01:09:41To celebrate the mission.
01:10:03Sarah, I just want you to be happy.
01:10:07I'm sorry.
01:10:17I thought I could keep waiting.
01:10:22You want to know what he said to me?
01:10:32No.
01:10:33That's your choice.
01:10:35I just realized I should have said this a long time ago.
01:10:39I know this is sudden.
01:10:42But I can't hold it in anymore.
01:10:44Serafina, I love you.
01:10:47I'll respect every choice you make.
01:10:49Build your pack.
01:10:51Walk your own path.
01:10:52I'll support you.
01:10:54And I'll wait.
01:10:56Until you're ready to stand with me.
01:11:06You don't have to wait.
01:11:08I love you too.
01:11:09I have for a long time.
01:11:21Yeah.
01:11:23I can't beat that.
01:11:25This time Ronan I lose fair and square.
01:11:39I'm heading back.
01:11:42Time to inherit the alpha position.
01:11:46Giving up on being king?
01:11:52Honestly, never wanted it.
01:11:54I just couldn't stand how smug you were.
01:11:57Figured I'd knock you down a peg.
01:12:01Childish.
01:12:05Maybe.
01:12:06But with her, that was real.
01:12:09If you make her regret choosing you, I won't forgive you.
01:12:14Won't happen.
01:12:16It better not.
01:12:18First you beat me for alpha king.
01:12:21Now you get the girl too.
01:12:23Love isn't a competition, Kai.
01:12:25You can't force it.
01:12:27Maybe you'll figure that out someday.
01:12:30Okay.
01:12:46There you are.
01:12:48Ceremony starts in 20 minutes.
01:12:50I just got word.
01:12:52Your father's here.
01:13:05Disguising yourself as a man?
01:13:07Sneaking into Lupine Academy?
01:13:10Do you have any idea what this does to our pack's reputation?
01:13:15I earned my place here.
01:13:17I'm not ashamed of that.
01:13:18This is a men-only academy.
01:13:21And yet here I am.
01:13:26Graduated.
01:13:28Just as strong as any of them.
01:13:31You think you've proven something?
01:13:34The second they find out you're a woman, they'll strip your degree.
01:13:38Come home.
01:13:40Now.
01:13:42No.
01:13:43I've already graduated.
01:13:45And I don't need you controlling my life.
01:13:49I'll leave and build my own pack.
01:13:54Graduate?
01:13:55If I report you to the headmaster, let's see if you graduate.
01:14:01Or get expelled on the spot.
01:14:04Go ahead.
01:14:05Tell him.
01:14:07Destroy our pack's honor just to punish me for being born a woman.
01:14:10Enough!
01:14:17Alpha King?
01:14:19What are you doing here?
01:14:23Ruling through anger is a weak, not a strength.
01:14:27Oh, I see.
01:14:28The king has taken an interest in my daughter.
01:14:33You want to lead a pack?
01:14:34Fine.
01:14:35Return home as the Alpha King's mate.
01:14:40Lead at his side.
01:14:46I'm not coming back.
01:14:47And I'm not accepting any more of your arrangements.
01:14:50Stop being difficult.
01:14:52You wanted the pack?
01:14:53I'm giving it to you.
01:14:54This is me compromising.
01:14:56I don't want your version of compromise.
01:14:58I want to build something on my own.
01:15:01That's what matters to me.
01:15:04You've got to be kidding.
01:15:16Just watch me.
01:15:22I came here as a character.
01:15:24Seth Darwin.
01:15:25A man.
01:15:27But today I want to say this.
01:15:30My real name is Serafina Nightbane.
01:15:33And I am a woman.
01:15:39I owe you all an apology.
01:15:42I lied about who I was.
01:15:46But I don't regret it.
01:15:48I came here to prove something.
01:15:51That women are just as strong as men.
01:15:56I'm standing here today as one of three students
01:15:58who graduated early with honours.
01:16:02I earned that.
01:16:06Not because of my gender.
01:16:09Because of my work.
01:16:16This academy honours strength.
01:16:18Not bloodlines.
01:16:19Not gender.
01:16:21Serafina proves self in front of all of us.
01:16:23She deserves our respect.
01:16:26It was her courage and strength that saved me.
01:16:29My hero.
01:16:37I'm leaving my father's pack.
01:16:39I'm going to build my own.
01:16:42A pack for anyone who's ever been told they weren't enough.
01:16:56Sir, the Moonshade Alpha is here to see you.
01:17:00Send her in.
01:17:03We've been married a year and you're still doing this.
01:17:05Alpha King.
01:17:06Serafina Nightbear of the Moonshade Pack formally requests a diplomatic meeting.
01:17:11And dinner tonight.
