00:00alley with three rogue wolves holding me down gavin was standing at the entrance watching and
00:04making sure no one interrupted or 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
01:42the last thing i saw was gavin's smile i jumped from the hospital new bedroom
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
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
02:29smoking hot girl like roxy tomorrow i'm gonna perform even better than usual i almost laughed this
02:34morning i heard exactly what roxy's surprise entailed tonight i'm gonna take care of that
02:38virgin boy scout real good none of you bestered interrupt but he's got the trials tomorrow
02:43the trials why would my little plaything need to worry about that once he gets into some royal
02:50academy you think you'll even remember me it wasn't a celebration at all she was planning to
02:54destroy 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
03:08beauty 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
03:34rest 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 going to run crying to my parents like last time
03:43my jaw tightened 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 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 make it to the arena tomorrow there was no way i could let him keep my permit thinking about
04:04how
04:04he destroyed my life in my previous timeline i suddenly lunged forward at gavin my fingers had
04:09just touched the permit when he caught my wrist in a crushing grip gavin give it back oh look at
04:16that
04:16the perfect students getting mad c-man i told you she's totally gonna run and snitch to your parents
04:23don't give it back to her gavin's grip had started to loosen but hearing his friends egg him on he
04:27jerked the permit up higher keeping it out of reach i tried to grab the permit back but gavin was
04:32taller
04:33and stronger an alpha in his prime my beta wolf snarled in frustration but it couldn't match his
04:38physical advantage he pressed down hard on my hands trying to force me to let go his friends kept
04:43shouting from the sidelines come on gavin tonight's your big night don't let selena ruin it something
04:49vicious flashed in gavin's eyes he yanked backward with all his strength the friends who'd been laughing
04:54and shouting just seconds ago suddenly were dead silent my trial pass was torn in half in gavin's
05:00hands just 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 life
05:10and 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
05:20the door their mocking laughter echoed down the hallway ripped up her permit and she didn't even
05:25dare say anything she can't compare to roxy at all every single word felt like a knife cutting into my
05:32heart i bent down slowly picked up the torn pieces of my entry permit from the floor and walked straight
05:37to
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 mr carr i'm accepting the royal pack academy offer every single word felt like a knife cutting
05:54into my heart ten years of being pack mates ten years of training together studying together growing up
06:00side by side to him it had all just been pathetic clinginess gavin and i had grown up together in
06:05the
06:05same pack we'd been training partners since we were seven years old since the day after our first
06:10shifts we drilled combat moves until our muscles screamed and our wolves whimpered with exhaustion
06:15i remember those freezing winter dawns when we'd shift into our wolf forms and race through the forest
06:20our paws leaving tracks in the fresh snow as we built our endurance and speed those scorching summer
06:24afternoons when we'd collapse under the old oak tree at the edge of pack territory after hours of sparring
06:29passing a water bottle back and forth while we quizzed each other on pack law strategy and history
06:34the promise we'd made to both get into the royal pack academy together it used to be our unspoken
06:38faith the shared future we'd sworn on our wolves to achieve together but everything had changed
06:43after gavin met roxy at that rogue club on the outskirts of pack territory the gavin standing here
06:47today the one who just ripped up my permit and walked away laughing clearly didn't want any kind
06:52of shared future with me anymore his eyes lit up with relief and warmth finally i told you that was
07:00the right choice for you your gift with herbs and healing the academy's been waiting for you
07:05you'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
07:16thank the goddess hugging me tight we've been so worried since you turned down the healing track
07:22to chase after gavin dad squeezed my shoulder the academy is lucky to have you sweetheart we just
07:27finished dinner when someone started pounding on the door dad opened it gavin's parents stood there
07:32mrs steel's face was white her hand shaking around her phone selena has gavin contacted you he said he
07:38was going out and now his phone's off the second round is tomorrow where is he selena you and gavin

07:57looking devastated after they were gone dad frowned at me did you two fight you really don't know where
08:03he is i smiled and went to my room of course i knew where gavin was right now he was
08:08with roxy
08:08probably thinking he was the luckiest alpha alive thinking about how my parents died in my last life
08:14i clenched my blanket hard let him enjoy his night tomorrow would be a different story
08:19the next morning dad had to be at the arena early he was the head pack healer and trial days
08:25always
08:25meant injuries mom and i went with him to help we arrived before dawn even from a distance i could
08:30see gavin's parents pacing near the entrance gates the second mrs steel spotted me she rushed over
08:35selena gavin never came home you were with him yesterday at school did he say where he was going
08:40mr carr jogged over looking stressed selena you know how important these trials are for gavin
08:45the second round starts in an hour and he's still missing please where could he be i looked at
08:50their desperate faces in my mind i saw my parents again saw them choking on wolfsbane saw the pack
08:56throwing rocks at our house i dug my nails into my palms i really don't know mr carr sighed and
09:01patted mrs steel's shoulder selena's a good kid if she says she doesn't know she doesn't know
09:06let's keep looking but i knew it was too late roxy had planned this specifically to keep gavin from
09:11competing right now he was probably passed out somewhere sleeping off whatever she'd given him
09:16the starting bell rang gavin still hadn't shown up gavin's parents weren't wealthy his dad worked
09:21three jobs barely sleeping his mom had quit working years ago to take care of gavin full-time making
09:26sure he could focus on training they'd sacrificed everything for 15 years to get him here when the
09:31arena gates closed mrs steel collapsed she fell to her knees screaming finally with 15 minutes left in
09:36the morning session gavin stumbled into view his clothes were wrinkled he could barely walk straight
09:41mrs steel shot up and ran to him she slapped him so hard the sound echoed
09:45where the hell have you been i was near the medical tent with my parents when i heard gavin shout
09:52my name
09:53mom it was selena she confessed to me yesterday and i rejected her she drugged me and locked me in
09:59a
09:59hotel i just woke up selena destroyed my life i froze before i could react mrs steel was charging at
10:05me
10:05gavin clearly hadn't expected me to be here when our eyes met he looked away fast but i caught the
10:10panic in his expression i saw my parents deaths flash through my mind i moved on instinct stepping
10:15in front of mom and dad with my arms spread wide mrs steel's hand cracked across my face
10:20you shameless bitch 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
10:31dad 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 pushed dad to the ground
10:42you're all bastards you destroyed my son none of you are walking away from this a crowd formed more and
10:50more people pushed in when they heard the story jealous girl drugs alpha before trials their eyes filled
10:55with rage they swarmed us fists and feet came from everywhere they hit me and dad over and over mom
11:01was screaming trying to get through but people blocked her blood ran into my eyes i could still
11:05hear them shouting she deserves this this little bitch is gonna ruin more lives teach her a lesson
11:12film this through blurred vision i saw gavin at the back of the crowd his head was down pretending to
11:18look worried but i saw that smile that poisonous smile pulling at his mouth the same smile from when
11:22he watched me jump i heard dad's bone crack he groaned that sound cut through everything it killed
11:27the last piece of me that had cared about gavin the boy who used to bring me breakfast was dead
11:31the boy who promised we'll see each other at the academy died the day he met roxy fine i didn't
11:36need
11:36to protect him anymore i forced myself to move pulled my phone from my bag with shaking hands blood and
11:43tears made it hard to see but i found the video roxy had sent me last night i turned the
11:48volume all the
11:48way up and hit play immediately obscene sounds filled the air everyone knew exactly what those
11:54sounds meant gavin you act so innocent but you're such a freak slower you're hurting me the crowd went
12:05silent the fists stopped the audio kept playing this time it was clearly gavin roxy i love the birthday
12:13gift you gave me i hit pause i pushed myself up using the wall for support wiped blood off my
12:19mouth and turned my phone toward gavin's parents see that the person gavin was with last night was
12:24roxy not me see that that's your good son you're defending i pulled up my home security footage
12:29from 8 p.m until 6 this morning our cameras recorded everything i was home the entire time gavin's face
12:35went white his lips trembled what have you done your father broke his leg and kept working to pay
12:42for your training our whole family's hopes were on you and you did this the night before your trial
12:49the same people who'd been beating me now looked ashamed they turned their anger on gavin how could
12:54he do that his mom told me his dad broke his leg at work but kept going look at his
12:59mother her hair's
13:00go more mrs steel slap had drawn blood from gavin's mouth he just stood there her car side and steadied
13:06mrs steel mrs steel gavin still has two more days of trials let him i helped dad toward the ambulance
13:13as we passed gavin he suddenly grabbed my wrist his eyes were bloodshot this isn't over i'm not done with
13:20you i looked at him for two seconds then i calmly pried his fingers off one by one didn't say
13:26a word
13:27just turned and helped dad into the ambulance last life life all my warnings got me was my family's
13:32destruction this time i'd learned keeping my parents safe was all that mattered as for gavin i was done
13:37if he wanted war fine i was ready gavin barely made it through the last rounds his parents watched him
13:42the entire time graduation came the campus filled with celebration everyone taking photos planning
13:48futures on the surface everything seemed normal but whenever i was alone gavin's threat echoed in my head
13:53the day results posted i was organizing files for mr car when my phone buzzed a message from gavin
13:59appeared i stared at the message thumb running along my phone's edge outside cicadas screamed sunlight
14:08filtered through leaves my last life flooded back that dark room gavin's twisted face the pain my phone
14:14buzzed again the old cabin
14:19my hand clenched around the phone the cabin on the outskirts how could i forget last life that's
14:24where he dragged me to hell and now he chose in the same place i smiled slowly and typed okay
14:29this time
14:30the person going to hell would be him i slowly put down my phone fingers sliding across the screen
14:36before heading out i texted mom at the hospital where she was watching over dad mom gavin is leaving the
14:42pack i'm going to say goodbye after getting her reply i opened gavin's message again don't forget
14:47celly the nickname that used to make my heart skip now just made my stomach turn rack's life i'd walked
14:53into his trap like an idiot but not this time everything would be different i followed the
14:58address to the old cabin on the edge of pack territory gavin was leaning against the doorframe
15:02playing with two bottles of beer he rushed forward and grabbed my bag fingers white from gripping too hard
15:07leave it outside his voice was hoarse on trial day you pulled your phone from this bag and destroyed
15:13my entire life i just want to say goodbye properly can you leave it by the door i looked at
15:18his
15:18trembling hands a cold smile tugged at my lips fine whatever you want something flashed in gavin's
15:24eyes surprise then triumph he practically dragged me inside shoving an ice-cold beer into my hands
15:30his 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 my fingers
15:51started going numb vision blurred i swayed on purpose i feel dizzy i grabbed a sleeve weakly feeling his
15:57breathing quicken with excitement this time the hunter and prey had switched places gavin half dragged me
16:02upstairs fake concern in his voice how are you drunk already the door slammed shut the fake gentleness on his
16:08face crumbled instantly selena i finally got you his hand around my throat was shaking excitement or rage
16:15remember what i said he leaned close breath reeking of beer you're going to pay just as my vision started
16:21going black he snapped his fingers three rogue wolves swaggered in cigarettes dangling from their mouths
16:27their eyes crawled over me like snakes gavin threw a stack of cash at the leader stick to the plan
16:32film everything clearly don't worry we'll make sure this little she-wolf has the time of her life
16:37gavin looked at me one last time the sound of the door locking echoed in the silence i listened to
16:42his
16:42footsteps fade away then slowly opened my eyes i'd taken the antidote beforehand but the heat coursing
16:47through my body still made my fingers tremble slightly still compared to the agony of my last life
16:52this was nothing i used the motion of curling up to quickly clip the tiny camera into a carved gap
16:57in
16:57the headboard the three shirtless rogues circled closer the stench of cheap tobacco made me want to
17:02gag the leader rubbed his hands together moving in with a disgusting leer don't be scared little girl
17:07we know how to treat a she-wolf right please let me go ha scream all you want scream louder
17:14we like it
17:15better that way this place is in the middle of nowhere nobody's coming to save you gavin scream
17:19erupted from downstairs this is private property fingers steadily adjusting the camera angle
17:23just as they lunged the three rogues froze like scalded cats the door burst open violently i quickly
17:30uploaded the final video clip to my phone a female police helped me up while two male polices pinned
17:35gavin to the floor his handsome face was twisted with rage impossible you drank it all i leaned weakly
17:42against the female police's shoulder but the corner of my mouth curved into a barely visible smile
17:46he had no idea i'd reported him before even coming here told the police's i suspected illegal wolfsbane
17:51trafficking that drink he'd been so proud of i'd only let it touch my tongue before spitting it into
17:55my sleeve at the police station you said gavin drugged you do you have proof i lifted my sleeve
18:01still damp with beer she signaled a colleague to collect samples then continued the three rogues say
18:06gavin hired them anything to add gavin brought them he said he wanted to film it the perfectly timed break
18:14made the police's pen pause the test results came back the police's expression turned serious
18:19there's definitely wolf bean mixture in the alcohol but we need more evidence i pulled out
18:24the phone i'd hidden officer there's a recording i think it proves gavin tried to hurt me gavin's
18:29cold voice filled the interrogation room film it clearly i want her to never be able to show her
18:34face again the police listened then sighed quietly selena you're smart but audio alone isn't enough for a
18:40conviction i met her eyes that's why i had backup i opened my phone gallery and pulled up the footage
18:45from the hidden camera gavin stuffing cash into the rogue's hand every word of his vicious plan laid
18:50bare every detail was crystal clear even the serial numbers on the bills were visible the police watched
18:54in silence finally she closed the file with a heavy thud we'll prosecute to the fullest extent
19:00you should go home and rest walking out of the station the summer night breeze touched my face
19:05i looked up at the stars and tightened my grip on the evidence this was just the beginning
19:08gavin last life you made me suffer everything this life i'm making you pay it back a hundred times
19:13over the moment i stepped out of the police station blinding camera flashes hit me reporters
19:18and onlookers had already blocked the entrance completely the second they saw me their expressions
19:24turned sharp angry whispers rose like a tie that's her right shameless slut at such a young age i heard
19:32she couldn't seduce one alpha so she tried to hook up with four at once had to call the police's
19:36disgusting if i were her i'd just kill myself
19:40whore like that should just die i gripped my clothes tightly nails digging into my palms
19:45couldn't even feel the pain it's not safe out there right now wait until later when the crowd's gone
19:50i'll drive you home myself i knew she was right this was the safest option but my mind flashed to
19:55my
19:56last life my parents surrounded by reporters strangers cursing them people throwing rocks through
20:01our windows the more i thought about it the more anxious i got no i need to go home with
20:06this many
20:06people here my parents are probably dealing with worse the police understood take her home make sure
20:12she gets there safely she turned back to me don't worry we'll clear this up fast and give you justice
20:16the siren cut through the night leaving the shouting and insults behind i finally took a breath
20:22my hands were shaking as i pulled out my phone i tried calling my parents over and over but neither
20:27of
20:27them picked up i checked my phone the trending topics about me had exploded celine's sex party
20:32girl caught with multiple men every headline had that bright red explosive tag next to it the comments
20:38were drowning in rage i knew this was gavin's doing the female police had seen that mob outside
20:43she knew the truth too she promised justice but right now the fact that my parents weren't answering
20:48made my heart feel like it was being stabbed the officer driving glanced at me in the rearview mirror
20:52didn't say anything just stepped harder on the gas when we turned into my neighborhood
20:56the scene ahead made my blood run cold just like i'd feared our quiet little house was surrounded
21:00by a dark mass of people rotten vegetables and stinking eggs kept flying at the already broken
21:05windows i gripped my phone my parents numbers still went straight to voicemail i couldn't take it
21:10anymore the officer grabbed my arm the more panic you are the worse it'll get check the back entrance
21:14go in that way make sure your parents are safe first i'll handle the front everyone calm down i
21:19understand your feelings but this is illegal the police will get to the bottom of this and give
21:23everyone answers the back entrance was clear i climbed over the fence broken glass from the
21:27kitchen window cut my hand didn't even feel it the house was trashed but thank the goddess
21:32no 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 to my
22:08parents and grabbed their hands tightly don't be scared the real show is about to start outside the
22:13crowd had been arguing with the officer suddenly a sharp voice cut through everyone look someone
22:19just posted new evidence online everyone went quiet phones lit up everywhere lighting up one face after
22:25another wait isn't this that gavin the video shows him ripping up some girl's permit oh my goddess
22:31and 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 reversing 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
22:56everyone go home i promise when the investigation's done we'll announce the results immediately murmurs
23:02spread through the crowd i pressed against the window watching the crowd slowly disperse like a
23:06retreating tide when the last person disappeared around the corner i finally let my shoulders drop
23:10the officer's heavy footsteps approached he pushed the door open he looked around making sure we
23:16were all safe didn't even take a drink of water before turning to leave as he reached the door
23:20he clapped me hard on the shoulder smart girl got guts and brains don't worry the truth will come
23:27out soon and it did gavin's clumsy scheme fell apart under professional investigation this kind of case
23:34could have been handled quietly but because gavin had repeatedly used social media to manipulate
23:39public opinion and cause serious damage the police's held a press conference made everything public
23:44the surveillance clearly showed gavin inviting me to his cabin the lab tests confirmed he'd spiked the
23:50drink with wolfsbane they traced it back to roxy my phone the one his parents had deliberately hidden
23:55was recovered with their fingerprints all over it on top of that while the truth was still unclear
24:00gavin and his parents had posted lies all over the internet the evidence was overwhelming
24:04his parents were charged quickly the court gave gavin a chance admit his mistakes publicly and get a
24:10lighter sentence but the stubborn idiot refused even with proof staring him in the face he denied
24:15everything even accused the policies of framing him finally the court sentenced him for multiple
24:20crimes including slander and conspiracy prison time the shul expelled him too gavin asked to see me
24:25after thinking about it i agreed visitation day came i saw him in his prison uniform head shaved
24:31the confident boy was gone now he just sat there behind the glass eyes empty when he saw me tears
24:36suddenly poured down his face selena you had so many chances to save me why didn't you that day at
24:44the diner you heard roxy's plan why didn't you stop me trial night you knew she took me to that
24:49motel
24:50why didn't you tell my parents gavin everyone has to live with their choices you said roxy could give
24:55you a beautiful future well this is the future you chose sunlight came through the high prison walls
25:00drawing a bright line across the floor i turned and walked away outside the summer breeze carried
25:05the scent of freedom i looked up cicadas screamed from the treetops i took a deep breath feeling truly
25:10relaxed for the first time since being reborn all debts were settled all regrets were fixed this time
25:15i could finally live for myself
