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. Lupian Academy, do you have any idea what happens if they catch you?
00:01:00Lupian 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.
00:01:30Just be careful, Sarah.
00:01:32From now on, you can call me Seth.
00:01:50So this is...
00:01:53Lupian 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.
00:02:54I don't know.
00:02:55I don't know.
00:02:55I don't know.
00:02:57I don't know.
00:02:58I don't know.
00:02:59I don't know.
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.
00:03:30Your 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.
00:05:38Why did you close the door?
00:05:44What do you think I'm about to do?
00:05:54How would I know?
00:06:02Why 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.
00:08:12If you're too scared for an actual fight, just say so.
00:08:24Do we have a problem here?
00:08:29Good 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. You wolves are getting in restless. To keep you from going ferric,
00:09:44we're moving straight to combat trials. One-on-one duels. Choose your opponents.
00:09:49Three consecutive wins move you up. Three consecutive losses, you pack your bags. Win or get out.
00:09:59What's wrong? Need some more dairy.
00:10:02big
00:10:02all
00:10:07all
00:10:08Oh
00:10:32Next
00:10:41I can't let him shift.
00:10:52This runt.
00:10:54Hell, this guy's insanely strong.
00:11:00One more win and he advances.
00:11:02Who's he picking last?
00:11:05For the final round,
00:11:07I challenge you, Ronan Bolkstein.
00:11:23I'll give him credit.
00:11:24He's got guts.
00:11:25But challenging Ronan?
00:11:27Is he crazy?
00:11:28You've got nerve.
00:11:30I've got more than that.
00:11:40The calf's not trained enough.
00:11:56He's a boy.
00:11:57So why does he look appetizing?
00:12:09One inch closer and I'll take it as intent.
00:12:21You're losing.
00:12:22Why won't you shift?
00:12:29Because I don't need to shift to put you down.
00:12:48What was that?
00:12:50Think I can't handle a fool?
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.
00:13:28This 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.
00:13:49That's not a real victory.
00:13:53What's all this about?
00:13:55What?
00:14:09Wait!
00:14:10Don't come in!
00:14:30First time I've seen a guy wrap a towel like that.
00:14:39Mind stepping out.
00:14:41I'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.
00:15:07Though, you don't look like most guys.
00:15:10Softer eyes, smoothier skin.
00:15:13You'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.
00:15:25I'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.
00:15:46All right, all right.
00:15:47You're reacting an awful lot like a girl.
00:15:50It's, uh, my family's old-fashioned.
00:15:52If someone sees you body, you're supposed to marry them.
00:15:54I'm not gay.
00:15:56You're not either.
00:15:57So, trust me.
00:15:58This is for both our sakes.
00:16:04Not gay.
00:16:05Huh.
00:16:09Well, well.
00:16:10Mighty Seth Darvin, 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.
00:16:23You 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.
00:16:42You're on.
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.
00:17:14Just 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've got to 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.
00:17:46I get it now.
00:17:49Again.
00:17:55I did it.
00:17:56Congrats.
00:17:58Damn it.
00:17:59Why 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, my 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, or are you still warming up?
00:18:58I hit it.
00:18:59And beating you is going to be easier than I thought.
00:19:02Big 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 and could use a clean.
00:19:27Less talk.
00:19:29More shooting.
00:19:30Your turn.
00:19:31How the hell did he get that good that fast?
00:19:33No way I'm losing to this nobody.
00:19:35No 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.
00:19:46Be my guest.
00:19:47I'm curious how you think someone cheats with a bow.
00:19:54I'll inspect it too.
00:19:56Make 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.
00:20:26Why 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?
00:20:56He's not worth your...
00:21:10Pull something like that again and next time.
00:21:13I won't miss.
00:21:21The string was cut.
00:21:23Fresh 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.
00:21:39Come on, Gideon.
00:21:41This is ridiculous.
00:21:42I didn't do anything.
00:21:48Either of you have anything to say?
00:21:53Since you're both suddenly quiet,
00:21:55you'll be cleaning the academy toilets.
00:21:58One 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.
00:22:12Guess being an alpha
00:22:13doesn'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.
00:22:35It'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?
00:22:43Seth,
00:22:44what exactly are you hiding?
00:22:46Tell me he hasn't figured it out.
00:22:56Bring his dinner, please.
00:22:57I'll take care of the wound.
00:23:13I'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?
00:23:42Feeding you, obviously.
00:23:47I can do it myself.
00:23:49Open.
00:23:59My neck's heating up again.
00:24:01Lily 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.
00:25:09Fuck.
00:25:15Everything all right, 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?
00:25:45He won't make waves
00:25:46Not here
00:25:49And keep Seth away from me during training
00:25:53Yeah
00:26:26Didn't hear Kai was coming back
00:26:29Of course he is
00:26:30Ronan's still here
00:26:32Those two have been fighting for the top spot
00:26:38Kai?
00:26:41Fall in
00:26:42Yes sir
00:26:50You're Seth, right?
00:26:53I've been curious about you for 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 and 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, let me try again
00:27:55Can I be your partner?
00:27:57I've got a feeling we'd sink well
00:28:01If you can keep that version of yourself then
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 between 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
00:28:57Ronan
00:28:58I remember you Nova
00:29:00Join 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
00:29:39I 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
00:30:02Did 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?
00:30:34Seth
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
00:30:58Time'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
00:31:11By 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
00:31:22Otherwise
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 Ronin?
00:32:05Which one?
00:32:06Is it Kai or Ronin?
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
00:32:25Shut up Kai
00:32:30You three
00:32:31Who said you could talk?
00:32:35Sorry sir
00:32:35That was
00:32:38My fault
00:32:39I couldn't identify my partner
00:32:42Kai and I will take the penalty training
00:32:48Tonight's freshman night
00:32:50Extra training will be scheduled later
00:33:02I'll head 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 Castorial 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
00:33:30When you get him drunk
00:33:34Yeah
00:33:35Stripe 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!
00:35:42Kiss!
00:35:42Kiss!
00:35:44Kiss!
00:35:45Kiss!
00:35:46Kiss!
00:35:47Kiss!
00:35:47Kiss!
00:35:53Kiss!
00:35:53Kiss!
00:35:54Kiss!
00:35:55Kiss!
00:35:56What the?
00:35:57Are you a?
00:35:58Alright
00:35:59If Seth's not into women
00:36:01I came prepared
00:36:03Kiss!
00:36:07Kiss!
00:36:12Kiss!
00:36:14Kiss!
00:36:16Kiss!
00:36:17Relax. Tonight, we'll take care of you.
00:36:25No.
00:36:32This is way beyond freshman tradition.
00:36:34Oh, come on! We're all future alphas here!
00:36:37Don't be a Buzzville! Seth hasn't complained, has he?
00:36:45Stop!
00:36:51Enough of this!
00:37:08Let him go.
00:37:09Ronan, even you can't just blow up a freshman party.
00:37:12Don't lump me in with you.
00:37:14Seth, you okay?
00:37:16Okay.
00:37:19Looks like he's just fine with me.
00:37:20Easy, Ronan. You look like a wolf whose mate just got stolen.
00:37:25No. Take 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 comes from here, Seth.
00:37:47Seth, you look like this.
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, Seth.
00:38:00You've got me.
00:38:02No more pretending.
00:38:08Why?
00:38:09Why?
00:38:10Why do you make my scent gland burn?
00:38:12Why does my heart race like this?
00:38:15Seth, because we...
00:38:17Not now.
00:38:19When 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.
00:39:07No.
00:39:08You just passed out.
00:39:11If you're fine, I'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.
00:39:25Illegal 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, look who finally showed up.
00:40:05Ronan's pet freshman.
00:40:07What's wrong?
00:40:08Stripped down like the rest of us.
00:40:10You two bid for this, or are you hiding something?
00:40:14You know what they say, Seth.
00:40:16The harder you try to hide, the more curious people get.
00:40:20Back 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, never shower with the rest of us.
00:40:35You spurn our freshman traditions.
00:40:37What?
00:40:37Are 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.
00:40:52The 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 or a woman?
00:41:01Strip him.
00:41:02No women here.
00:41:03Yeah!
00:41:04Hey!
00:41:07If they find out who I am, it's over.
00:41:12Strip him.
00:41:13No women here.
00:41:14Yeah!
00:41:15Hey!
00:41:20Seth will be inspected by me alone.
00:41:23Everyone else stays put.
00:41:25Cause 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 and...
00:41:37He's with me.
00:41:38Anything wrong?
00:41:40I answer for it.
00:41:42Don't think your little games went unnoticed.
00:41:44Pull that again and you're done here.
00:41:47Seth.
00:41:49Come with me.
00:41:50Being inspected by Ronan is better than being exposed to all of them.
00:41:55But what if you...
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, whatever you're hiding...
00:42:26We're...
00:42:26Friends.
00:42:28Right?
00:42:31I don't want to watch you carry everything alone.
00:42:42I'm not gay.
00:42:43I don't want to watch you.
00:42:46I don't want to watch you.
00:42:46Neither 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
00:43:06You won't make me wait too long
00:43:10Does he know something?
00:43:12Seth, you 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, aren'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?
00:48:18Who's there?
00:48:19Who's there?
00:48:27Who's there?
00:48:39Just a stray cat?
00:48:40If he's suspicious enough to investigate me, why protect me now?
00:48:45Did 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
00:49:40You won't kill me
00:49:52And what makes you so sure?
00:49:55Because I haven't read the report
00:49:59I'd rather hear it from you
00:50:02Why you disguised yourself
00:50:04Why you came here
00:50:08You already knew?
00:50:11How long?
00:50:12Freshman night
00:50:13You drank too much
00:50:25You'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
00:50:58The 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
00:52:52Did you know that?
00:53:04Don't
00:53:06Don't
00:53:06Don't say anything
00:53:08Not yet
00:53:16Right now
00:53:17My only goal is to graduate
00:53:19And become an Alpha
00:53:20I can't afford any distractions
00:53:30Seth
00:53:31Let me help you with those
00:53:48What happened between them?
00:53:50Something feels different
00:53:54This time
00:53:55Make sure she can't hide it
00:53:57Relax
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
00:55:03Something'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
00:55:35Seth
00:55:38Are you actually a woman?
00:55:46No
00:55:46It's worse
00:55:49My heat
00:55:50It's early
00:55:53I'll get something
00:55:54Just hold on
00:56:02There's no time
00:56:04Help me
00:56:05Ronan
00:56:10Serafina
00:56:11Slow down
00:56:12Do you know what you're asking?
00:56:19Please
00:56:24Bloody hell
00:56:26Bloody hell
00:56:28Bloody hell
