00:00alley with three rogue wolves holding me down gavin was standing at the entrance watching and
00:04making sure no one interrupted they destroyed me the first day of royal pack academy entrance exams
00:09was over and gavin wouldn't shut up about how roxy that rogue girl he'd met at some club was
00:14planned to celebrate his coming of age he was actually going to accept it the guy who'd spent
00:19three years obsessing over his trial scores was about to throw it all away for a quick fuck
00:23earlier this morning i'd been drinking coffee at the pack diner when i overheard roxy and her
00:28friends at the next booth tonight i'm gonna wreck that virgin boy scout so bad he won't be able to
00:33stand tomorrow forget the trials he'll be lucky if he can crawl to the arena in my last life i
00:39desperately tried to stop gavin from going selena this is roxy's gift to me just because you're too
00:45much of a prude to have fun doesn't mean you get to cock block my happiness i'd been so worried
00:50about
00:50his future that i told his parents everything they locked him in his room dragged him to the
00:56trials the next day like a prisoner he passed got into the royal pack academy but roxy's plan fell
01:01apart she got wasted and some assholes jumped her in the alley behind the club they found her body
01:06two days later gavin lost his mind he blamed me for everything said i'd ruined his life taken away
01:11his soulmate a month before academy started he invited me over to talk things out i thought maybe
01:16we could fix things we'd been friends since we were kids after all gavin drugged my drink gavin
01:21enjoyed me my parents couldn't handle the shame in whispers they took wolf spain together one night
01:26holding hands that bastard filmed it stood outside our house with his phone out recording my parents
01:31final moments like it was entertainment he brought the video to the hospital where i was recovering
01:35made me watch every second your parents are paying for what you did to roxy and you're next
01:41the last thing i saw was gavin's smile i jumped from the hospital leave bed
01:47yo selena you having a stroke or something
01:52yo selena you having a stroke or something gavin's voice snapped me back to the present
01:57he was glaring at me can you stop being so weird every time i mention another girl
02:02it's pathetic i looked down at my unmarked skin my legs that actually worked exactly as they'd been
02:08before everything went to hell i was alive and breathing i was back at the beginning the day
02:12before everything went to hell gavin's friend travis jumped in trying to smooth things over
02:17cut her some slack man selene's scared to have fun she's probably just jealous that rocky's got you
02:21wrapped around her finger gavin's face flushed he couldn't help himself had to brag roxy said
02:26she's got a surprise for me tonight getting to celebrate my 18th birthday with a smoking hot girl
02:30like roxy tomorrow i'm gonna perform even better than usual i almost laughed this morning i heard
02:35exactly what roxy's surprise entailed tonight i'm gonna take care of that virgin boy scout real good
02:39none of you bestered interrupt but he's got the trials tomorrow the trials why would my little
02:47plaything need to worry about that once he gets into some royal academy you think he'll even remember me
02:51it wasn't a celebration at all she was planning to destroy gavin's entire future in my last life i'd
02:57nearly killed myself trying to stop this from happening and all it got me was my family's destruction
03:01so this life looking at how excited gavin was i slowly raised my head a cold smile spread across
03:06my face you should go gavin with a beauty like roxy to celebrate with i'm sure you'll perform
03:11exceptionally well tomorrow gavin froze blinked at me like i'd just spoken in tongues then travis broke
03:16the silence with a nervous laugh uh did selena just give you permission to hook up with someone else
03:20bro i think she's finally over you gavin's face twisted but before he could respond i grabbed my bag
03:25and stood up wait his hand shot out slamming down on my trial pass where are you going i stared
03:32at
03:33his hand home to rest for tomorrow yeah gavin snatched the permit off the desk holding it above
03:38his head you're not going anywhere not until i'm sure you're not going to run crying to my parents like
03:43last time my jaw tightened gavin give it back or what i forced down my anger trying to sound helpless
03:49and reasonable gavin you know what the trials mean to me i promise i won't tell your parents anything
03:55just please don't mess with my future but even as i said it i knew the truth gavin probably wouldn't
04:00even
04:00make it to the arena tomorrow there was no way i could let him keep my permit thinking about how
04:04he
04:04destroyed my life in my previous timeline i suddenly lunged forward at gavin my fingers had just touched the
04:10permit when he caught my wrist in a crushing grip gavin give it back ooh look at that the perfect
04:17student's getting mad c-man i told you she's totally gonna run and snitch to your parents don't give it
04:23back to her gavin's grip had started to loosen but hearing his friends egg him on he jerked the permit
04:28up higher keeping it out of reach i tried to grab the permit back but gavin was taller and stronger
04:33and alpha in his prime my beta wolf snarled in frustration but it couldn't match his physical
04:38advantage he pressed down hard on my hands trying to force me to let go his friends kept shouting
04:43from the sidelines come on gavin tonight's your big night don't let selena ruin it something vicious
04:49flashed in gavin's eyes he yanked backward with all his strength the friends had been laughing and
04:54shouting just seconds ago suddenly went dead silent my trial pass was torn in half in gavin's hands
05:00just like my shattered life from the previous timeline the sound of my tears hitting the floor was
05:04painfully clear a wave of despair and helplessness crashed over me i'd been given a second chance at
05:10life and he destroyed my future all over again you brought this on yourself that's what you get for
05:15trying to stop me from seeing roxy he shoved the pieces into my hands and dragged his friends out the
05:20door their mocking laughter echoed down the hallway ripped up her permit and she didn't even dare say
05:25anything she can't compare to roxy at all every single word felt like a knife cutting into my heart
05:32i bent down slowly picked up the torn pieces of my entry permit from the floor and walked straight to
05:37the trash can at the front of the classroom i threw them in without hesitation didn't even look back
05:41then i turned around and walked down the hallway to mr carr's office i knocked twice on his door come
05:46in
05:48mr carr i'm accepting the royal pack academy offer every single word felt like a knife cutting into my heart
05:55ten years of being pack mates ten years of training together studying together growing up side by side
06:00to him it had all just been pathetic clinginess gavin and i had grown up together in the same pack
06:06we'd been training partners since we were seven years old since the day after our first shifts we
06:11drilled combat moves until our muscles screamed and our wolves whimpered with exhaustion i remember
06:16those freezing winter dawns when we'd shift into our wolf forms and race through the forest
06:19our paws leaving tracks in the fresh snow as we built our endurance and speed
06:23those scorching summer afternoons when we'd collapse under the old oak tree at the edge of
06:27pack territory after hours of sparring passing a water bottle back and forth while we quizzed each
06:32other on pack law strategy and history the promise we'd made to both get into the royal
06:36pack academy together it used to be our unspoken faith the shared future we'd sworn on our wolves
06:40to achieve together but everything had changed after gavin met roxy at that rogue club on the
06:45outskirts of pack territory the gavin standing here today the one who just ripped up my permit and
06:49walked away laughing clearly didn't want any kind of shared future with me anymore his eyes lit up
06:55with relief and warmth finally i told you that was the right choice for you your gift with herbs and
07:03healing the academy's been waiting for you you're going to be an exceptional healer
07:11when i got home and told my parents i wasn't taking the combat trials they relaxed thank the
07:16goddess hugging me tight we've been so worried since you turned down the healing track to chase after
07:22gavin dad squeezed my shoulder the academy is lucky to have you sweetheart we just finished dinner when
07:28someone started pounding on the door dad opened it gavin's parents stood there mrs steel's face was white
07:33her hands shaking around her phone selena has gavin contacted you he said he was going out and now
07:39his phone's off the second round is tomorrow where is he selena you and gavin are always together
07:46mom looked at me i don't know mrs style i kept my voice calm mr steel's forehead was sweating do
07:52you

07:58they were gone dad frowned at me did you two fight you really don't know where he is i smiled
08:04and went
08:04to my room of course i knew where gavin was right now he was with roxy probably thinking he was
08:09the
08:10luckiest alpha alive thinking about how my parents died in my last life i clenched my blanket hard
08:15let him enjoy his night tomorrow would be a different story the next morning dad had to be at the
08:21arena
08:22early he was the head pack healer and trial days always meant injuries mom and i went with him to
08:27help
08:27we arrived before dawn even from a distance i could see gavin's parents pacing near the entrance gates
08:33the second mrs steel spotted me she rushed over selena gavin never came home you were with him
08:38yesterday at school did he say where he was going mr carr jogged over looking stressed selena
08:43you know how important these trials are for gavin the second round starts in an hour and he's still
08:47missing please where could he be i looked at their desperate faces in my mind i saw my parents again
08:53saw them choking on wolfsbane saw the pack throwing rocks at our house i dug my nails into my palms
08:59i
08:59really don't know mr carr sighed and patted mrs steel's shoulder selena's a good kid if she says she
09:04doesn't know she doesn't know let's keep looking but i knew it was too late roxy had planned this
09:10specifically to keep gavin from competing right now he was probably passed out somewhere sleeping off
09:15whatever she'd given him the starting bell rang gavin still hadn't shown up gavin's parents weren't wealthy
09:20his dad worked three jobs barely sleeping his mom had quit working years ago to take care of gavin
09:25full-time making sure he could focus on training they'd sacrificed everything for 15 years to get
09:30him here when the arena gates closed mrs steel collapsed she fell to her knees screaming finally
09:35with 15 minutes left in the morning session gavin stumbled into view his clothes were wrinkled he
09:40could barely walk straight mrs steel shot up and ran to him she slapped him so hard the sound echoed
09:45dead where the hell have you been i was near the medical tent with my parents when i heard gavin
09:52shout my name mom it was selena she confessed to me yesterday and i rejected her she drugged me and
09:58locked me in a hotel i just woke up selena destroyed my life i froze before i could react mrs
10:04steel was
10:05charging at me gavin clearly hadn't expected me to be here when our eyes met he looked away fast but
10:10i
10:10caught the panic in his expression i saw my parents deaths flash through my mind i moved on instinct
10:15stepping in front of mom and dad with my arms spread wide mrs steel's hand cracked across my face
10:20you shameless my family went without everything for 15 years so gavin could have this chance
10:26and because he rejected you you destroyed him the force sent me stumbling back into the wall
10:32dad rushed forward but mr steel grabbed him by the throat this mild-mannered man suddenly looked
10:37like a monster his arms thick from years of manual labor bulged as he punched dad to the ground you're
10:42all bastards you destroyed my son none of you are walking away from this a crowd formed more and more
10:50people pushed in when they heard the story jealous girl drugs alpha before trials their eyes filled with
10:55rage they swarmed us fists and feet came from everywhere they hit me and dad over and over mom was
11:01screaming
11:01trying to get through but people blocked her blood ran into my eyes i could still hear them shouting
11:06she deserves this this little bitch is gonna ruin more lives teach her a lesson film this
11:13through blurred vision i saw gavin at the back of the crowd his head was down pretending to look worried
11:18but i saw that smile that poisonous smile pulling at his mouth the same smile from when he watched me
11:23jump i heard dad's bone crack he groaned that sound cut through everything it killed the last piece
11:28of me that had cared about gavin the boy who used to bring me breakfast was dead the boy who
11:32promised
11:32we'll see each other at the academy died the day he met roxy fine i didn't need to protect him
11:36anymore
11:38i forced myself to move pulled my phone from my bag with shaking hands blood and tears made it hard
11:44to see but i found the video roxy had sent me last night i turned the volume all the way
11:48up and hit play
11:50immediately obscene sounds filled the air everyone knew exactly what those sounds meant gavin
11:56you act so innocent but you're such a freak slower you're hurting me the crowd went silent the fists
12:06stopped the audio kept playing this time it was clearly gavin roxy i love the birthday gift you gave me
12:14i hit pause i pushed myself up using the wall for support wiped blood off my mouth and turned my
12:19phone
12:20toward gavin's parents see that the person gavin was with last night was roxy not me see that that's
12:26your good son you're defending i pulled up my home security footage from 8 pm until 6 this morning our

13:16his eyes were bloodshot this isn't over i'm not done with you i looked at him for two seconds
13:23then i calmly pried his fingers off one by one didn't say a word just turned and helped dad into
13:28the ambulance ras life life all my warnings got me was my family's destruction this time i'd learned
13:33keeping my parents safe was all that mattered as for gavin i was done if he wanted war fine i
13:39was ready
13:39gavin barely made it through the last rounds his parents watched him the entire time graduation came
13:44the campus filled with celebration everyone taking photos planning futures on the surface
13:49everything seemed normal but whenever i was alone gavin's threat echoed in my head the day results
13:54posted i was organizing files for mr carr when my phone buzzed a message from gavin appeared
14:02i stared at the message thumb running along my phone's edge outside cicadas screamed sunlight filtered
14:08through leaves my last life flooded back that dark room gavin's twisted face the pain my phone buzzed
14:14again the old cabin my hand clenched around the phone the cabin on the outskirts how could i forget
14:23last life that's where he dragged me to hell and now he chose in the same place i smiled slowly
14:28and typed
14:29okay this time the person going to hell would be him i slowly put down my phone fingers sliding across
14:35the
14:36screen before heading out i texted mom at the hospital where she was watching over dad mom gavin
14:41is leaving the pack i'm going to say goodbye after getting her reply i opened gavin's message again
14:46don't forget celly the nickname that used to make my heart skip now just made my stomach turn
14:51racks life i'd walked into his trap like an idiot but not this time everything would be different i
14:57followed the address to the old cabin on the edge of pack territory gavin was leaning against the door
15:01frame playing with two bottles of beer he rushed forward and grabbed my bag fingers white from
15:06gripping too hard leave it outside his voice was hoarse on trial day you pulled your phone from
15:12this bag and destroyed my entire life i just want to say goodbye properly can you leave it by the
15:17door
15:17i looked at his trembling hands a cold smile tugged at my lips fine whatever you want something flashed in
15:24gavin's eyes surprise then triumph he practically dragged me inside shoving an ice-cold beer into my hands
15:29his voice was sickeningly sweet selena we're both adults now drink this with me let's put the past
15:36behind us the cold bottle sweated in my hand i stared at the amber liquid and suddenly understood
15:41exactly how i'd ended up unconscious last time the truth had always been in this bottle i pretended
15:45to hesitate then took a small sip let that familiar burning sensation spread through my stomach
15:50my fingers started going numb vision blurred i swayed on purpose i feel dizzy i grabbed his sleeve
15:56weakly feeling his breathing quicken with excitement this time the hunter and prey had switched places
16:01gavin half dragged me upstairs fake concern in his voice how are you drunk already the door slammed
16:06shut the fake gentleness on his face crumbled instantly selena i finally got you his hand around
16:13my throat was shaking excitement or rage remember what i said he leaned close breath reeking of beer
16:19you're going to pay just as my vision started going black he snapped his fingers three rogue wolves
16:24swaggered in cigarettes dangling from their mouths their eyes crawled over me like snakes gavin threw
16:29a stack of cash at the leader stick to the plan film everything clearly don't worry we'll make sure
16:35this little she-wolf has the time of her life gavin looked at me one last time the sound of
16:39the door
16:40locking echoed in the silence i listened to his footsteps fade away then slowly opened my eyes i'd taken
16:45the antidote beforehand but the heat coursing through my body still made my fingers tremble slightly
16:50still compared to the agony of my last life this was nothing i used the motion of curling up to
16:55quickly clip the tiny camera into a carved gap in the headboard the three shirtless rogues circled
16:59closer the stench of cheap tobacco made me want to gag the leader rubbed his hands together moving in
17:05with a disgusting leer don't be scared little girl we know how to treat a she-wolf right please
17:11let me go ha scream all you want scream louder we like it better that way this place is in
17:16the middle
17:16of nowhere nobody's coming to save you gavin scream erupted from downstairs this is private
17:20police don't move fingers steadily adjusting the camera angle just as they lunged the three rogues
17:25froze like scalded cats the door burst open violently i quickly uploaded the final video clip to my phone
17:32a female police helped me up while two male polices pinned gavin to the floor his handsome face was
17:37twisted with rage impossible you drank it all i leaned weakly against the female police's shoulder
17:43but the corner of my mouth curved into a barely visible smile he had no idea i'd reported him before
17:48even coming here told the police's i suspected illegal wolfsbane trafficking that drink he'd been
17:52so proud of i'd only let it touch my tongue before spitting it into my sleeve at the police station
17:57you said gavin drugged you do you have proof i lifted my sleeve still damp with beer she signaled
18:03colleague to collect samples then continued the three rogues say gavin hired them anything to add
18:08gavin brought them he said he wanted to film it the perfectly timed break made the police's pen pause
18:16the test results came back the police's expression turned serious there's definitely wolf bean mixture
18:21in the alcohol but we need more evidence i pulled out the phone i'd hidden officer there's a recording
18:27i think it proves gavin tried to hurt me gavin's cold voice filled the interrogation room film it clearly
18:32i want her to never be able to show her face again the police listened then sighed quietly selena
18:37you're smart but audio alone isn't enough for a conviction i met her eyes that's why i had backup
18:43i opened my phone gallery and pulled up the footage from the hidden camera gavin stuffing cash into the
18:47rogue's hand every word of his vicious plan laid bare every detail was crystal clear even the serial numbers
18:52the bills were visible the police watched in silence finally she closed the file with a heavy thud
18:57we'll prosecute to the fullest extent you should go home and rest walking out of the station the summer
19:03night breeze touched my face i looked up at the stars and tightened my grip on the evidence this
19:07was just the beginning gavin last life you made me suffer everything this life i'm making you pay it
19:12back a hundred times over the moment i stepped out of the police station blinding camera flashes hit me
19:18reporters and onlookers had already blocked the entrance completely the second they saw me their
19:24expressions turned sharp angry whispers rose like a tiger that's her right shameless slut at such a young
19:31age i heard she couldn't seduce one alpha so she tried to hook up with four at once had to
19:35call the
19:36police's disgusting if i were her i'd just kill myself whore like that should just die i gripped my clothes
19:43tightly nails digging into my palms couldn't even feel the pain it's not safe out there right now wait
19:49until later when the crowd's gone i'll drive you home myself i knew she was right this was the safest
19:54option but my mind flashed to my last life my parents surrounded by reporters strangers cursing them
19:59people throwing rocks through our windows the more i thought about it the more anxious i got no i need
20:04to go home with this many people here my parents are probably dealing with worse the police understood
20:10take her home make sure she gets there safely she turned back to me don't worry we'll clear
20:15this up fast and give you justice the siren cut through the night leaving the shouting and insults
20:20behind i finally took a breath my hands were shaking as i pulled out my phone i tried calling
20:25my parents over and over but neither of them picked up i checked my phone the trending topics about me
20:30had exploded celine's sex party girl caught with multiple men every headline had that bright red
20:35explosive tag next to it the comments were drowning in rage i knew this was gabin's doing the female
20:41police had seen that mob outside she knew the truth too she promised justice but right now the
20:46fact that my parents weren't answering made my heart feel like it was being stabbed the officer
20:50driving glanced at me in the rearview mirror didn't say anything just stepped harder on the gas
20:54when we turned into my neighborhood the scene ahead made my blood run cold just like i'd feared our
20:59quiet little house was surrounded by a dark mass of people rotten vegetables and stinking eggs kept
21:04flying at the already broken windows i gripped my phone my parents numbers still went straight to
21:08voicemail i couldn't take it anymore the officer grabbed my arm the more panicked you are the
21:12worse it'll get check the back entrance go in that way make sure your parents are safe first i'll
21:16handle the front everyone calm down i understand your feelings but this is illegal the police will get
21:22to the bottom of this and give everyone answers the back entrance was clear i climbed over the fence
21:26broken glass from the kitchen window cut my hand didn't even feel it the house was trashed but thank
21:31the goddess no smell of wolfsbane selena is that you dad's hoarse voice came from the basement
21:38i stumbled down the stairs and threw myself into their arms only then did i start crying
21:42dad smiled weakly holding mom close why didn't you answer your phones your mother dropped hers on the
21:49stairs when we ran down here all the windows are broken we didn't dare to go back up to get
21:53it
21:53i laughed through my tears they were okay they still believed me but this wasn't over yet
21:57i ran to my room opened my laptop and sent out everything i prepared gavin's recordings the bank
22:03transfer records the motel surveillance footage every piece of truth posted publicly i went back
22:07to my parents and grabbed their hands tightly don't be scared the real show is about to start outside
22:13the crowd had been arguing with the officer suddenly a sharp voice cut through everyone look
22:18someone just posted new evidence online everyone went quiet phones lit up everywhere lighting up one face
22:24after another wait isn't this that gavin the video shows him ripping up some girl's permit oh my
22:31goddess and this one he's the one who invited her to his place but now he's saying she seduced him
22:36voices rose again but this time with confusion instead of rage an officer took someone's phone
22:41and raised the loudspeaker again this is exactly why we need evidence before jumping to conclusions
22:46in just one day the story's completely reversed it what does that tell you it means we can't just
22:51believe one side i understand wanting justice but let the professionals handle it it's late everyone
22:56go home i promise when the investigation's done we'll announce the results immediately murmurs spread
23:02through the crowd i pressed against the window watching the crowd slowly disperse like a retreating
23:06tide when the last person disappeared around the corner i finally let my shoulders drop the officer's
23:11heavy footsteps approached he pushed the door open he looked around making sure we were all safe
23:16didn't even take a drink of water before turning to leave as he reached the door he clapped me hard
23:21on the shoulder smart girl got guts and brains don't worry the truth will come out soon and it did
23:29gavin's clumsy scheme fell apart under professional investigation this kind of case could have been
23:34handled quietly but because gavin had repeatedly used social media to manipulate public opinion and cause
23:40serious damage the police's held a press conference made everything public the surveillance clearly
23:45showed gavin inviting me to his cabin the lab tests confirmed he'd spiked the drink with wolfsbane
23:51they traced it back to roxy my phone the one his parents had deliberately hidden was recovered with
23:56their fingerprints all over it on top of that while the truth was still unclear gavin and his parents
24:01had posted lies all over the internet the evidence was overwhelming his parents were charged quickly the
24:06court gave gavin a chance admit his mistakes publicly and get a lighter sentence but the stubborn idiot
24:11refused even with proof staring him in the face he denied everything even accused the policies of framing
24:17him finally the court sentenced him for multiple crimes including slander and conspiracy prison time
24:23the shul expelled him too gavin asked to see me after thinking about it i agreed visitation day came
24:28i saw him in his prison uniform head shaved the confident boy was gone now he just sat there behind
24:34the glass eyes empty when he saw me tears suddenly poured down his face selena you had so many chances
24:40to save me why didn't you that day at the diner you heard roxy's plan why didn't you stop me
24:47trial
24:48night you knew she took me to that motel why didn't you tell my parents gavin everyone has to live
24:53with
24:53their choices you said roxy could give you a beautiful future well this is the future you chose sunlight came
24:59through the high prison walls drawing a bright line across the floor i turned and walked away outside
25:04the summer breeze carried the scent of freedom i looked up cicadas screamed from the treetops i took
25:09a deep breath feeling truly relaxed for the first time since being reborn all debts were settled all
25:14regrets were fixed this time i could finally live for myself
