00:08royal pack academy entrance exams was over and gavin wouldn't shut up about how roxy that rogue
00:13girl he'd met at some club was planned to celebrate his coming of age he was actually going to accept
00:18it the guy who'd spent three years obsessing over his trial scores was about to throw it all away
00:23for a quick fuck earlier this morning i'd been drinking coffee at the pack diner when i overheard
00:28roxy and her friends at the next booth tonight i'm gonna wreck that virgin boy scout so bad he won't

00:45you're too much of a prude to have fun doesn't mean you get to cock block my happiness i'd been
00:50so
00:50worried about his future that i told his parents everything they locked him in his room dragged him
00:56to the trials the next day like a prisoner he passed got into the royal pack academy but roxy's
01:01plan fell apart she got wasted and some assholes jumped her in the alley behind the club they found
01:06her body two days later gavin lost his mind he blamed me for everything said i'd ruined his life
01:11taken away his soulmate a month before academy started he invited me over to talk things out
01:16i thought maybe we could fix things we'd been friends since we were kids after all gavin drugged my
01:21drink gavin joined me my parents couldn't handle the shame in whispers they took wolfsbane together
01:27one night holding hands that bastard filmed it stood outside our house with his phone out recording
01:32my parents final moments like it was entertainment he brought the video to the hospital where i was
01:36recovering made me watch every second your parents are paying for what you did to roxy
01:41and you're next the last thing i saw was gavin's smile i jumped from the hospital
01:48yo selena you having a stroke or something
01:53yo selena you having a stroke or something gavin's voice snapped me back to the present
01:58he 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
02:08been before everything went to hell i was alive and breathing i was back at the beginning
02:12the day before everything went to hell gavin's friend travis jumped in trying to smooth things
02:17over cut her some slack man selene's scared to have fun she's probably just jealous that rocky's
02:21got you wrapped around her finger gavin's face flushed he couldn't help himself had to brag
02:25roxy said she's got a surprise for me tonight getting to celebrate my 18th birthday with a
02:30smoking hot girl like roxy tomorrow i'm gonna perform even better than usual i almost laughed
02:34this morning i heard exactly what roxy's surprise entailed tonight i'm gonna take care
02:38of that virgin boy scout real good none of you bastard interrupt but he's got the trials tomorrow
02:44the trials why would my little plaything need to worry about that once he gets into some royal
02:50academy you think he'll even remember me it wasn't a celebration at all she was planning to
02:55destroy gavin's entire future in my last life i'd nearly killed myself trying to stop this from
02:59happening and all it got me was my family's destruction so this life looking at how excited
03:03gavin was i slowly raised my head a cold smile spread across my face you should go gavin with a
03:09beauty like roxy to celebrate with i'm sure you'll perform exceptionally well tomorrow gavin froze
03:13blinked at me like i'd just spoken in tongues then travis broke the silence with a nervous laugh
03:17uh did selena just give you permission to hook up with someone else bro i think she's finally over
03:21you gavin's face twisted but before he could respond i grabbed my bag and stood up wait
03:28his hand shot out slamming down on my trial pass where are you going i stared at his hand home
03:34to
03:35rest for tomorrow yeah gavin snatched the permit off the desk holding it above his head you're not
03:39going anywhere not until i'm sure you're not gonna run crying to my parents like last time my jaw
03:45tightened gavin give it back or what i forced down my anger trying to sound helpless and reasonable
03:51gavin you know what the trials mean to me
03:53i promise i won't tell your parents anything just please don't mess with my future but even as i
03:58said it i knew the truth gavin probably wouldn't even make it to the arena tomorrow there was no
04:03way i could let him keep my permit thinking about how he destroyed my life in my previous timeline
04:06i suddenly lunged forward at gavin my fingers had just touched the permit when he caught my wrist
04:11in a crushing grip gavin give it back oh look at that the perfect student's getting mad see man i
04:20told
04:20you she's totally gonna run and snitch to your parents don't give it back to her gavin's grip
04:25had started to loosen but hearing his friends egg him on he jerked the permit up higher keeping it out
04:29of reach i tried to grab the permit back but gavin was taller and stronger an alpha in his prime
04:35my beta wolf snarled in frustration but it couldn't match his physical advantage
04:39he pressed down hard on my hands trying to force me to let go his friends kept shouting from the
04:44sidelines 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 who'd 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
05:04was painfully clear a wave of despair and helplessness crashed over me i'd been given a
05:09second chance at life and he destroyed my future all over again you brought this on yourself that's what
05:15you get for trying to stop me from seeing roxy he shoved the pieces into my hands and dragged
05:19his friends out the door their mocking laughter echoed down the hallway ripped up her permit and
05:24she didn't even dare say anything she can't compare to roxy at all every single word felt like a knife
05:31cutting into my heart i bent down slowly picked up the torn pieces of my entry permit from the floor
05:36and walked straight to the trash can at the front of the classroom i threw them in without hesitation
05:40didn't even look back then i turned around and walked down the hallway to mr carr's office
05:44i knocked twice on his door come in mr carr i'm accepting the royal pack academy offer every single
05:52word felt like a knife cutting into my heart 10 years of being pack mates 10 years of training
05:57together studying together growing up side by side to him it had all just been pathetic clinginess
06:03gavin and i had grown up together in the same pack we'd been training partners since we were seven
06:08years old since the day after our first shifts we drilled combat moves until our muscles screamed
06:13and our wolves whimpered with exhaustion i remember those freezing winter dawns when we'd shift into our
06:18wolf forms and race through the forest our paws leaving tracks in the fresh snow as we built our
06:22endurance and speed those scorching summer afternoons when we'd collapse under the old oak tree at the
06:27edge of pack territory after hours of sparring passing a water bottle back and forth while we quizzed each
06:31other on pack law strategy and history the promise we'd made to both get into the royal pack academy
06:36together it used to be our unspoken faith the shared future we'd sworn on our wolves to achieve
06:41together but everything had changed after gavin met roxy at that rogue club on the outskirts of pack
06:45territory the gavin standing here today the one who just ripped up my permit and walked away laughing
06:50clearly didn't want any kind of shared future with me anymore
06:54his eyes lit up with relief and warmth
06:58finally i told you that was the right choice for you your gift with herbs and healing the academy's
07:04been waiting for you you're going to be an exceptional healer
07:10when i got home and told my parents i wasn't taking the combat trials they relaxed thank the goddess
07:16hugging me tight we've been so worried since you turned down the healing track to chase after gavin
07:22dad squeezed my shoulder the academy is lucky to have you sweetheart we just finished dinner when
07:27someone started pounding on the door dad opened it gavin's parents stood there mrs steel's face was
07:32white her hand shaking around her phone selena has gavin contacted you he said he was going out and
07:38now his phone's off the second round is tomorrow where is he selena you and gavin are always together
07:45mom looked at me i don't know mrs style i kept my voice calm mr steel's forehead was sweating do
07:52you

07:57after they were gone dad frowned at me did you two fight you really don't know where he is i
08:03smiled
08:03and went to my room of course i knew where gavin was right now he was with roxy probably thinking
08:09he was the luckiest alpha alive thinking about how my parents died in my last life i clenched my blanket
08:14hard let him enjoy his night tomorrow would be a different story the next morning dad had to be
08:20at the arena early he was the head pack healer and trial days always meant injuries mom and i went
08:26with
08:26him to help we arrived before dawn even from a distance i could see gavin's parents pacing near
08:31the entrance gates the second mrs steel spotted me she rushed over selena gavin never came home you
08:37were with him yesterday at school did he say where he was going mr car jogged over looking stressed
08:42selena you know how important these trials are for gavin the second round starts in an hour and
08:46he's still missing please where could he be i looked at their desperate faces in my mind i saw my
08:51parents again saw them choking on wolfsbane saw the pack throwing rocks at our house i dug my nails
08:57into my palms i really don't know mr car sighed and patted mrs steel's shoulder selena's a good kid
09:03if she says she doesn't know she doesn't know let's keep looking but i knew it was too late roxy
09:08had
09:09planned this specifically to keep gavin from competing right now he was probably passed out
09:13somewhere sleeping off whatever she'd given him the starting bell rang gavin still hadn't shown up
09:18gavin's parents weren't wealthy his dad worked three jobs barely sleeping his mom had quit working years
09:23ago to take care of gavin full-time making sure he could focus on training they'd sacrificed everything
09:28for 15 years to get him here when the arena gates closed mrs steel collapsed she fell to her knees
09:33screaming finally with 15 minutes left in the morning session gavin stumbled into view his clothes were
09:38wrinkled he could barely walk straight mrs steel shot up and ran to him she slapped him so hard the
09:43sound echoed dad where the hell have you been i was near the medical tent with my parents when i
09:50heard
09:51gavin shout my name mom it was selena she confessed to me yesterday and i rejected her she drugged me
09:57and
09:57locked me in a hotel i just woke up selena destroyed my life i froze before i could react mrs
10:03steel was
10:04charging at me gavin clearly hadn't expected me to be here when our eyes met he looked away fast
10:08but i caught the panic in his expression i saw my parents deaths flash through my mind i moved on
10:14instinct stepping in front of mom and dad with my arms spread wide mrs steel's hand cracked across my
10:19face you shameless my family went without everything for 15 years so gavin could have this chance and
10:26because he rejected you you destroyed him the force sent me stumbling back into the wall dad rushed
10:31forward but mr steel grabbed him by the throat this mild-mannered man suddenly looked like a monster
10:36his arms thick from years of manual labor bulged as he pushed dad to the ground you're all bastards
10:43you destroyed my son none of you are walking away from this a crowd formed more and more people pushed
10:50in when they heard the story jealous girl drugs alpha before trials their eyes filled with rage they
10:55swarmed us fists and feet came from everywhere they hit me and dad over and over mom was screaming
11:00trying to get through but people blocked her blood ran into my eyes i could still hear them shouting
11:05she deserves this this little is gonna ruin more lives teach her a lesson film this through blurred
11:13vision i saw gavin at the back of the crowd his head was down pretending to look worried but i
11:18saw that
11:18smile that poisonous smile pulling at his mouth the same smile from when he watched me jump i heard dad's
11:23bone crack he groaned that sound cut through everything it killed the last piece of me that
11:27had cared about gavin the boy who used to bring me breakfast was dead the boy who promised we'll see
11:32each other at the academy died the day he met roxy fine i didn't need to protect him anymore
11:37i forced myself to move pulled my phone from my bag with shaking hands blood and tears made it hard
11:42to see
11:43but i found the video roxy had sent me last night i turned the volume all the way up and
11:47hit play
11:48immediately obscene sounds filled the air everyone knew exactly what those sounds meant
11:54gavin you act so innocent but you're such a freak slower you're hurting me the crowd went silent the
12:04fists stopped the audio kept playing this time it was clearly gavin roxy i love the birthday gift you gave

12:18phone toward gavin's parents see that the person gavin was with last night was roxy not me see that
12:25that's your good son you're defending i pulled up my home security footage from 8 pm until 6 this morning
12:30our cameras recorded everything i was home the entire time gavin's face went white his lips trembled
12:36what have you done your father broke his leg and kept working to pay for your training
12:42our whole family's hopes were on you and you did this the night before your trial the same people
12:49who'd been beating me now looked ashamed they turned their anger on gavin how could he do that
12:54his mom told me his dad broke his leg at work but kept going look at his mother her hair's

13:12as we passed gavin he suddenly grabbed my wrist his eyes were bloodshot this isn't over i'm not done with

13:41the entire time graduation came the campus filled with celebration everyone taking photos planning
13:46futures on the surface everything seemed normal but whenever i was alone gavin's threat echoed in my head
13:51the day results posted i was organizing files for mr carr when my phone buzzed a message from gavin
13:57appeared i stared at the message thumb running along my phone's edge outside cicadas screamed sunlight
14:07filtered through leaves my last life flooded back that dark room gavin's twisted face the pain my phone
14:13buzzed again the old cabin
14:17my hand clenched around the phone the cabin on the outskirts how could i forget last life that's
14:23where he dragged me to hell and now he chose in the same place i smiled slowly and typed okay
14:28this
14:29time the person going to hell would be him i slowly put down my phone fingers sliding across the screen
14:34before heading out i texted mom at the hospital where she was watching over dad mom gavin is leaving
14:40the pack i'm going to say goodbye after getting her reply i opened gavin's message again don't forget
14:46celly the nickname that used to make my heart skip now just made my stomach turn rack's life i'd
14:51walked into his trap like an idiot but not this time everything would be different i followed the
14:56address to the old cabin on the edge of pack territory gavin was leaning against the doorframe
15:00playing with two bottles of beer he rushed forward and grabbed my bag fingers white from gripping too hard
15:06leave it outside his voice was hoarse on trial day you pulled your phone from this bag and destroyed
15:11my entire life i just want to say goodbye properly can you leave it by the door i looked at
15:16his
15:16trembling hands a cold smile tugged at my lips fine whatever you want something flashed in gavin's eyes
15:23surprise then triumph he practically dragged me inside shoving an ice-cold beer into my hands
15:28his voice was sickeningly sweet selena we're both adults now drink this with me let's put the past behind
15:35us the cold bottle sweated in my hand i stared at the amber liquid and suddenly understood exactly
15:40how i'd ended up unconscious last time the truth had always been in this bottle i pretended to hesitate
15:44then took a small sip let that familiar burning sensation spread through my stomach my fingers
15:49started going numb vision blurred i swayed on purpose i feel dizzy i grabbed his sleeve weekly
15:55feeling his breathing quicken with excitement this time the hunter and prey had switched places gavin
16:00half dragged me upstairs fake concern in his voice how are you drunk already the door slammed
16:04shut the fake gentleness on his face crumbled instantly selena i finally got you his hand
16:12around my throat was shaking excitement or rage remember what i said he leaned close breath reeking
16:17of beer you're going to pay just as my vision started going black he snapped his fingers three
16:22rogue wolves swaggered in cigarettes dangling from their mouths their eyes crawled over me like snakes
16:27gavin threw a stack of cash at the leader stick to the plan film everything clearly don't worry
16:33we'll make sure this little she-wolf has the time of her life gavin looked at me one last time
16:37the
16:37sound of the door locking echoed in the silence i listened to his footsteps fade away then slowly
16:42opened my eyes i'd taken the antidote beforehand but the heat coursing through my body still made my
16:47fingers tremble slightly still compared to the agony of my last life this was nothing i used the motion of
16:52curling up to quickly clip the tiny camera into a carved gap in the headboard the three shirtless rogues
16:57circled closer the stench of cheap tobacco made me want to gag the leader rubbed his hands together
17:02moving in with a disgusting leer don't be scared little girl we know how to treat a she-wolf right
17:08please let me go ha scream all you want scream louder we like it better that way this place is
17:14in the middle of nowhere nobody's coming to save you gavin scream erupted from downstairs this is private
17:18police don't move fingers steadily adjusting the camera angle just as they lunged the three rogues froze
17:24like scalded cats the door burst open violently i quickly uploaded the final video clip to my phone
17:30a female police helped me up while two male polices pinned gavin to the floor his handsome face was
17:35twisted with rage impossible you drank it all i leaned weakly against the female police's shoulder
17:41but the corner of my mouth curved into a barely visible smile he had no idea i'd reported him before
17:46even coming here told the polices i suspected illegal wolfsbane trafficking that drink he'd been so proud of
17:51i'd only let it touch my tongue before spitting it into my sleeve at the police station you said gavin
17:57drugged you do you have proof i lifted my sleeve still damp with beer she signaled a colleague to
18:01collect samples then continued the three rogues say gavin hired them anything to add gavin brought them
18:08he said he wanted to film it the perfectly timed break made the police's pen pause the test results came
18:15back the police's expression turned serious there's definitely wolf bean mixture in the alcohol
18:20but we need more evidence i pulled out the phone i'd hidden officer there's a recording i think it
18:26proves gavin tried to hurt me gavin's cold voice filled the interrogation room film it clearly i want
18:31her to never be able to show her face again the police listened then sighed quietly selena you're smart
18:36but audio alone isn't enough for a conviction i met her eyes that's why i had backup i opened my
18:42phone
18:42gallery and pulled up the footage from the hidden camera gavin stuffing cash into the rogue's hand every word of
18:47his vicious plan laid bare every detail was crystal clear even the serial numbers on the bills were
18:51visible the police watched in silence finally she closed the file with a heavy thud we'll prosecute
18:56to the fullest extent you should go home and rest walking out of the station the summer night breeze
19:02touched my face i looked up at the stars and tightened my grip on the evidence this was just
19:06the beginning gavin last life you made me suffer everything this life i'm making you pay it back a
19:10hundred times over the moment i stepped out of the police station blinding camera flashes hit me
19:15reporters and onlookers had already blocked the entrance completely the second they saw me their
19:21expressions turned sharp angry whispers rose like a tiger that's her right shameless at such a young age
19:29i heard she couldn't seduce one alpha so she tried to hook up with four at once had to call
19:33the
19:33police's disgusting if i were her i'd just kill myself whore like that should just die i gripped
19:40my clothes tightly nails digging into my palms couldn't even feel the pain it's not safe out
19:46there right now wait until later when the crowd's gone i'll drive you home myself i knew she was right
19:50this was the safest option but my mind flashed to my last life my parents surrounded by reporters
19:56strangers cursing them people throwing rocks through our windows the more i thought about it the more
20:01anxious i got no i need to go home with this many people here my parents are probably dealing with
20:06worse the police understood take her home make sure she gets there safely she turned back to me
20:11don't worry we'll clear this out fast and give you justice the siren cut through the night leaving
20:16the shouting and insults behind i finally took a breath my hands were shaking as i pulled out my phone
20:22i tried calling my parents over and over but neither of them picked up i checked my phone
20:26the trending topics about me had exploded celine's sex party girl caught with multiple men every
20:32headline had that bright red explosive tag next to it the comments were drowning in rage i knew this
20:37was gavin's doing the female police had seen that mob outside she knew the truth too she promised
20:42justice but right now the fact that my parents weren't answering made my heart feel like it was
20:46being stabbed the officer driving glanced at me in the rearview mirror didn't say anything just
20:51stepped harder on the gas when we turned into my neighborhood the scene ahead made my blood run cold
20:55just like i'd feared our quiet little house was surrounded by a dark mass of people
20:59rotten vegetables and stinking eggs kept flying at the already broken windows
21:03i gripped my phone my parents numbers still went straight to voicemail i couldn't take it anymore
21:07the officer grabbed my arm the more panicked you are the worse it'll get check the back entrance go in
21:12that way make sure your parents are safe first i'll handle the front everyone calm down i understand your
21:17feelings but this is illegal the police will get to the bottom of this and give everyone answers
21:22the back entrance was clear i climbed over the fence broken glass from the kitchen window cut my hand
21:26didn't even feel it the house was trashed but thank the goddess no smell of wolfsbane selena is that you
21:33dad's hoarse voice came from the basement i stumbled down the stairs and threw myself into their arms only
21:39then did i start crying dad smiled weakly holding mom close why didn't you answer your phones your mother
21:46dropped hers on the stairs when we ran down here all the windows are broken we didn't dare to go
21:49back
21:49up to get it i laughed through my tears they were okay they still believed me but this wasn't over
21:54yet i ran to my room opened my laptop and sent out everything i prepared gavin's recordings the bank
22:00transfer records the motel surveillance footage every piece of truth posted publicly i went back to my
22:05parents and grabbed their hands tightly don't be scared the real show is about to start outside the
22:11crowd had been arguing with the officer suddenly a sharp voice cut through everyone look someone
22:16just posted new evidence online everyone went quiet phones lit up everywhere lighting up one
22:21face after another wait isn't this that gavin the video shows him ripping up some girl's permit
22:27oh my goddess and this one he's the one who invited her to his place but now he's saying she
22:33seduced him
22:33voices rose again but this time with confusion instead of rage an officer took someone's phone
22:38and raised the loudspeaker again this is exactly why we need evidence before jumping to conclusions
22:43in just one day the story's completely reversing what does that tell you it means we can't just
22:48believe one side i understand wanting justice but let the professionals handle it it's late everyone go
22:53home i promise when the investigation's done we'll announce the results immediately murmurs spread through
22:59the crowd i pressed against the window watching the crowd slowly disperse like a retreating tide
23:04when the last person disappeared around the corner i finally let my shoulders drop the officer's heavy
23:09footsteps approached he pushed the door open he looked around making sure we were all safe didn't
23:14even take a drink of water before turning to leave as he reached the door he clapped me hard on
23:18the
23:18shoulder smart girl got guts and brains don't worry the truth will come out soon and it did gavin's clumsy
23:27scheme fell apart under professional investigation this kind of case could have been handled quietly but because
23:33gavin had repeatedly used social media to manipulate public opinion and cause serious damage the police
23:38has held a press conference made everything public the surveillance clearly showed gavin inviting me to
23:44his cabin the lab tests confirmed he'd spiked the drink with wolfsbane they traced it back to roxy
23:49my phone the one his parents had deliberately hidden was recovered with their fingerprints all over it
23:54on top of that while the truth was still unclear gavin and his parents had posted lies all over the
23:59internet the evidence was overwhelming his parents were charged quickly the court gave gavin a chance
24:05admit his mistakes publicly and get a lighter sentence but the stubborn idiot refused even with
24:10proof staring him in the face he denied everything even accused the policies of framing him finally the
24:15court sentenced him for multiple crimes including slander and conspiracy prison time the shul expelled
24:20him too gavin asked to see me after thinking about it i agreed visitation day came i saw him in
24:26his prison
24:26uniform head shaved the confident boy was gone now he just sat there behind the glass eyes empty when he
24:32saw me tears suddenly poured down his face selena you had so many chances to save me why didn't you
24:39that day at the diner you heard roxy's plan why didn't you stop me trial night you knew she took
24:45me to
24:46that motel why didn't you tell my parents gavin everyone has to live with their choices you said
24:51roxy could give you a beautiful future well this is the future you chose sunlight came through the
24:56high prison walls drawing a bright line across the floor i turned and walked away outside the summer
25:01breeze carried the scent of freedom i looked up cicadas screamed from the treetops i took a deep breath
25:06feeling truly relaxed for the first time since being reborn all debts were settled all regrets were fixed
25:11this time i could finally live for myself
