Short filmTranscript
00:00She is an ugly mutt, but she has a great body. She's perfect for mating practice.
00:05That was how Alpha Kaled, the boy I loved, described me.
00:08To him, and the whole Blood Moon Academy, I was just a wolf-less nerd hiding behind thick, ugly glasses.
00:12He let his true mate torture me with a silver shock chair.
00:15The moment I escaped and took off those glasses, my rare white wolf beauty would shock the entire world.
00:20Alpha Caleb Sterling was the Pack Academy's notorious bad boy.
00:23And I, Scarlet Bennett, was its famous mutt, a girl with no awakened wolf spirit.
00:28No one ever expected the two of us to get together.
00:31Caleb would always find ways to coax me into bed, sweet-talking me into wearing sexy mating lingerie and posing
00:36in various positions.
00:38Tonight was no exception.
00:39I was handcuffed to the headworm by Caleb, completely naked, my long hair scattered messily across the pillows.
00:45He pinned me down, his Alpha movements fierce and ruthless, as if he wanted to devour me whole.
00:51Caleb, slow down.
00:52I trembled. He bit my ear oblique with a low chuckle.
00:55I can't. Your scent is too tempting.
00:58My heart was beating so fast it felt like it would leap out of my chest.
01:01Then, his phone suddenly rang.
01:03The moment he saw the caller ID, his eyes changed.
01:06He released me immediately and answered the phone.
01:08Kelly's tearful voice came through.
01:11Caleb, my stomach hurts. Can you come to the Pack Healing Ward and stay with me?
01:15Wait there, I'm on my way.
01:16He hung up, threw his clothes on, and left without even looking back.
01:19Caleb and I had been secretly dating for a year.
01:21But he would ditch me for Kelly more than half the time.
01:26I was left handcuffed to the bed for the entire freezing night.
01:29It wasn't until dawn that I painfully broke free.
01:31Running a fever, I stumbled to the Pack Healing Ward for medicine.
01:35Holding my prescription, I walked groggily down the hallway, but stopped dead in my tracks passing a VIP ward.
01:40Through the half-open door, I saw Caleb gazing tenderly at the sleeping Kelly.
01:44One of his buddies couldn't help but ask,
01:47Caleb, you obviously like Kelly so much.
01:50So why are you mating with that ugly nerd?
01:52She doesn't deserve you at all.
01:53Caleb sneered, leaning back lazily.
01:55She is an ugly mutt, but she has a great body.
01:58She's perfect for mating practice.
02:00That way I won't accidentally hurt Kelly later,
02:02because I can't control my alpha strength.
02:05I stood frozen outside the door.
02:08His words ruthlessly into my heart like a sharp knife.
02:12Those linkering nights were all just him using me for practice?
02:15The person he truly liked was Kelly?
02:17I remembered the first time we met.
02:18I was cornered by rogue wolves, and he kicked the door open to save me.
02:22From that day on, this notorious alpha began aggressively entering my life.
02:25He walked me home, gave me his umbrella in the rain,
02:28and jumped the school wall to give me birthday chocolates.
02:31My heart was easily captured.
02:33I thought we had a future.
02:34But reality just slapped me hard in the face.
02:37Right at that moment, my homeloom teacher called.
02:42Scarlet, your exams qualify you for Silver Star University,
02:46the Elite Pack Academy.
02:47The portal closes in ten minutes.
02:49Are you sure you want to give up on it?
02:51I froze.
02:52Caleb had also qualified for Silver Star,
02:53but uncharacteristically applied to a lesser pack school.
02:56I had changed my application to be with him.
02:58Only now did I realize Kelly had gotten into that lesser school.
03:02He was following Kelly.
03:03No!
03:04I'm going to Silver Star University!
03:06I took a deep breath.
03:07This time, I chose to give up on Caleb.
03:09I changed my application at the very last second.
03:12At home, I stood in the bathroom, and slowly took off my thick glasses.
03:15In the Nirnligar had fall-less features,
03:17and eyes to run flashed, breathtaking bingzer yinner one.
03:20No one knew that beneath the ugly disguise of a mutt
03:22laid the majestic bloodline of a rare, white wolf,
03:25because my striking appearance and pure scent
03:27drew aggressive alphas in middle school.
03:29I kept those thick glasses on,
03:30camouflaging myself as a wolf-less nerd
03:32and sealing away my true aura.
03:33I originally planned to tell Caleb the truth
03:35when we went to college.
03:36Now there was no need.
03:39I started packing my things.
03:40The sexy lingerie, the jewelry,
03:42the moonstone necklace he gave me.
03:43I threw them all into the trash box.
03:45Just as I dumped the box into the trash downstairs,
03:48I slammed into a solid chest.
03:50What are you throwing away?
03:52Caleb's deep, lazy voice came from above.
03:54I stiffened, meeting his dark eyes.
03:57Nothing.
03:59He reached out to ruffle my hair.
04:01Are you mad?
04:04I forgot to unlock your cuffs last night.
04:08Did you get hurt?
04:10He reached for my wrist, but I yanked it back.
04:13I'm fine.
04:15His phone suddenly rang.
04:24Caleb!
04:25Why aren't you here yet?
04:27Kelly whined through the receiver.
04:30Caleb hung up, turning to me.
04:33Kelly insists on going to a lunar escape room.
04:39Want to come?
04:40I wanted to refuse, but he didn't give me a chance,
04:42grabbing my wrist and dragging me to his car.
04:44Kelly was sitting in the passenger seat.
04:46She gave me a fake smile.
04:49Sorry, I get carsick, so you'll have to sit in the back.
04:55I didn't say a word, sliding into the back seat.
05:00Drive carefully.
05:02I don't want to lose my life with you.
05:04Kelly teased him.
05:05Caleb chuckled softly.
05:07Don't worry.
05:09I'd die before I let you die.
05:13He thoughtfully handed her water and snacks.
05:15I watched from the back, my heart pricked by countless needles.
05:19I remembered when I ate cookies in his car, he threw them out, saying he hated a dirty car.
05:23But for Kelly, any principal could be abandoned.
05:27At the escape room, Kelly's beta friends mocked me immediately.
05:30Look, the academic ace.
05:32What will she do when Mr. Sterling dumps her?
05:35I ignored them.
05:36We put on our blindfolds and entered the pitch black room.
05:38A rogue wolf NPC suddenly lunged.
05:41I'm scared!
05:42Don't be scared, I'm here.
05:43Caleb held her tight.
05:45In the chaos, someone shoved me hard from behind.
05:47I stumbled to the ground, scraping my knees badly.
05:50Scarlet, are you okay?
05:51Caleb called from a distance.
05:53Kelly's friends immediately interrupted.
05:55Ignore her!
05:56Kelly is terrified!
05:57Let's get out of here!
05:58Their footsteps faded.
05:59I climbed up, trapped alone in the darkness.
06:01Suddenly, several hands shoved me into a freezing room.
06:04Kelly's friends swarmed in and locked the door behind them.
06:12We've been wanting to teach you a lesson.
06:14They sneered, pinning me onto a silver-laced electric shock chair and binding my hands and feet.
06:18Let me go!
06:20I struggled, but I was completely overpowered.
06:22They pressed the switch.
06:23The burning silver and electric print surged through me, and I screamed uncontrollably.
06:26Caleb, save me!
06:28Footsteps stopped outside the door.
06:30Scarlet, are you in there?
06:32It was Caleb.
06:33I was about to respond when Kelly cried out from outside.
06:36Ouch!
06:37I sprained my ankle!
06:38I'll take you out first.
06:40Caleb said without hesitation.
06:41Scarlet can get out on her own.
06:43His footsteps faded away.
06:44Kelly's friends burst into mocking laughter.
06:46See that?
06:47In Caleb's heart, you can't even compare to a single strand of Kelly's hair!
06:51The electric current struck again, and I finally blacked out.
06:55When I woke up, I was in the escape room lounge.
06:57A staff member said I had passed out.
07:01It was pouring rain outside.
07:03Without an umbrella, I walked home drenched.
07:08In the apartment, Caleb was playing video games.
07:12Where did you go?
07:13He asked without looking up.
07:15Kelly's friends tied me to a silver-laced shock chair.
07:19I said, rainwater pooling at my feet.
07:23He laughed out loud.
07:31Since when did you make jokes?
07:34Silver only hurts wolves.
07:36Do you have wolf?
07:37He tried to kiss me, but I pushed him away.
07:45His face darkened, and a cold war began.
07:48Three days later, my friend called.
07:50Scarlet, check the PAC network quickly.
07:53My private bed photos with Caleb were trending.
07:55The crucial parts were censored, and his face was blurred, but everyone knew it was me.
08:01The comments were vicious.
08:03Always acting so pure, but such a slut behind closed doors.
08:07Driven into a corner, I had no choice but to beg Caleb.
08:11Can you help take them down?
08:14He smirked.
08:15Baby, asking for a favor requires some practical action.
08:19Biting my lip, I knew I had no other choice.
08:22I slowly took off my clothes and straddled him.
08:26After a night of madness, Caleb kissed my neck.
08:29The photos are down.
08:31This won't happen again.
08:32I fell asleep wearily.
08:33Later, I was awakened by a voice outside the door.
08:35Why go through all this trouble to sleep with her again?
08:38You actually fallen for her?
08:39A boy asked Cale.
08:40No.
08:41Caleb scoffed.
08:41I posted those photos to force her into bed.
08:43I just wanted to learn a few more positions to please Kelly later.
08:46My mind exploded.
08:47He ruined my reputation.
08:49Just to practice for Kelly?
08:51I backed away in shock, accidentally knocking over a cosmetics bottle.
08:54I quickly jumped back into bed, squeezing my eyes shut.
08:57Caleb pushed the door open.
08:58Tusk, it's just the cat.
09:00He muttered, closing it again.
09:02Tears silently soaked my pillow.
09:03At the graduation dinner, Caleb attentively served Kelly.
09:06Aren't you afraid your girlfriend will get jealous?
09:08Someone teased.
09:09Only then did Caleb perfunctorily put some food in my bowl all seafood.
09:12I was deadly allergic to seafood.
09:14He never knew, because to him I was just a tool.
09:16How could I have been so naive to think he actually liked me?
09:20After dinner, we played Truth or Dare.
09:23I lost the first round.
09:24Dare, take off your glasses!
09:26The boys cheered.
09:27I stiffened.
09:29I choose to drink.
09:30I downed three bottles of beer.
09:32The alcohol burned my throat, and I stumbled to the bathroom to throw up.
09:36When I stepped out, the boy who made the dare cornered me.
09:39Let me clean those glasses for you.
09:40He grabbed my wrist and ripped off my glasses.
09:44Caleb rushed in and punched him.
09:46You dare touch my girlfriend?
09:48I collapsed to the ground.
09:49Caleb picked up my glasses.
09:51Let me put these on you.
09:52I frantically covered my face.
09:54I'll do it myself!
09:56I'm too ugly.
09:57I'll scare you.
09:58He sighed helplessly, handed them to me, and stepped out.
10:01I slowly lowered my hands.
10:03The girl in the mirror was not ugly mutt.
10:05My irises were glowing with a piercing.
10:07Icy silver light and a primal.
10:09Majestic aura radiated from my pale skin.
10:12I quickly shoved the thick glasses back on.
10:15Instantly sealing away the untamed and breathtaking beauty of a pure white wolf.
10:20Walking back, I stopped dead in my tracks at the corridor corner.
10:23Not far away, Caleb was supporting a tipsy Kelly.
10:26Admit it.
10:26You just like her.
10:28Kelly cried.
10:29I don't like her.
10:30Caleb sighed.
10:30There's a reason I'm with her.
10:32Kelly slipped into his arms, and they kissed deeply.
10:34Unlike the rough way he kissed me, he was incredibly gentle with her.
10:38He was using the kisses he learned from me on the person he truly liked.
10:42Unable to watch, I turned and hailed a cab in the cold wind.
10:46Scarlet!
10:46Caleb chased after me and forcefully shoved me into his car.
10:49Kelly ran up, begging for a ride.
10:50Kelly gets car sit.
10:51You sit in the back.
10:52Caleb ordered me.
10:53In the car, Kelly showed Caleb photos of handsome boys.
10:56I'll have to date someone in college.
10:58Wait a little longer.
10:59Caleb promised.
11:00Once college starts, you'll meet someone better.
11:02I understood perfectly.
11:05Once college started, he would break up with me and openly pursue Kelly.
11:09My heart felt like it was being torn apart.
11:13Suddenly, the car jerked violently a crash.
11:16We were rear-ended.
11:17In a split second, Caleb instinctively lunged and shielded Kelly in his arms.
11:22My head slammed hard against the back of the front seat, and I lost consciousness.
11:26When I woke up in the healing ward, Caleb was sitting by my bed.
11:29I'm sorry because Kelly was closest to me.
11:32So you subconsciously protected me.
11:34I didn't return for days.
11:40Through Kelly's social media, I saw him feeding her porridge and gently rubbing her hair on
11:45the day I was discharged.
11:46He finally appeared to take me to Kelly's million-dollar birthday party.
11:49At the banquet, Caleb personally put a diamond necklace around Kelly's neck.
11:53How did you know I wanted this?
11:56She asked.
11:57Because I remember everything you like.
11:59Caleb smiled gently.
12:00Kelly's friends mocked me in the corner.
12:02See?
12:03You don't deserve him at all.
12:05I gripped my glass tightly.
12:06It's not that I'm not good enough for him.
12:08He's not good enough for me.
12:11Ignoring their laughter, I turned and walked out of the hall.
12:16Outside, the night breeze was cool.
12:17Suddenly, a drunken rogue wolf blocked my path.
12:19An ugly freak.
12:22Nice body, though.
12:24The lear, slapping me hard to the ground.
12:26Before he could lunge at me, a dark figure rushed over and knocked him down.
12:30You have a death wish!
12:31Caleb beat the man bloody, then turned to me.
12:33Wait here.
12:34I'll get you some medicine.
12:36As I struggled to stand and leave, Kelly blocked the doorway.
12:41Do you think he cares about you just because he saved you?
12:43She grabbed my wrist.
12:45Break up with him!
12:46I shook her off.
12:47Suddenly, Kelly stumbled and fell straight toward the stairs, grabbing my clothes in panic.
12:51We tumbled down the stairs together.
12:53Caleb hurried back.
12:53He rushed forward, but helped Kelly up first.
12:55What happened?
12:59Caleb, Scarlet pushed me.
13:00Kelly cried tearfully.
13:01I didn't!
13:03She fell and dragged me down.
13:05I endured the pain.
13:06Not only do you bully Kelly, but you slander her?
13:10When did you become zy vicious?
13:11Caleb stared at me darkly.
13:13He scooped Kelly into his arms and tossed back an order.
13:16No one helps her.
13:17Let her learn her lesson.
13:19With his order, no one dared to help me.
13:22I dragged my bleeding leg outside in the freezing wind.
13:25At the healing ward, the nurse apologized.
13:27Mr. Sterling called all the doctors for Ms. Green.
13:31I laughed, tears falling uncontrollably.
13:34I walked to more blocks to buy antibiotics at a pharmacy.
13:39Three days later, the wound scabbled over.
13:42I went to the mall to buy winter clothes for Silver Star University.
13:45Inside a store, I bumped into Caleb and Kelly.
13:48Seeing me, Caleb reflexively shielded Kelly behind him.
13:52What are you doing here?
13:54Buying clothes.
13:56I replied casually, picking up a puffer jacket.
13:59At the checkout, Caleb tried to take my bill.
14:02I got it.
14:03I swiped my own card.
14:05There's no need.
14:06I won't be spending your money anymore.
14:08His face darkened.
14:10Kelly interjected.
14:11Caleb, our flight is taking off soon.
14:13Before leaving, Caleb told me.
14:15Kelly and I booked tickets to head to the school early.
14:17You can come on registration day.
14:19Okay.
14:19I replied faintly.
14:20See you when school starts.
14:21He said, turning away.
14:23I watched the taillights fade.
14:25Then, I'll never see you again.
14:27On registration day, I packed my last piece of luggage.
14:31I handed the butler an envelope.
14:34Please pass this to Caleb.
14:36Inside was a single note.
14:39Caleb, let's break up.
14:41I know you treated me as a practice tool.
14:44But I also treated you as a vibrator.
14:46Let's not see each other again.
14:49See, I snapped the SIM card I had used for years and threw it out the window.
14:55Standing at the gates of Silver Star University, I finally took off my thick black-rimmed glasses.
15:01Underneath the disguise, my dormant white wolf spirit awakened.
15:03My almond eyes flashed with an impossible silver light.
15:06Need some help?
15:07A gentle male voice asked.
15:09I turned and met a pair of striking emerald eyes.
15:11The boy was tall, exuding an aura of absolute, yet controlled alpha power.
15:15He smelled of pine needles.
15:18Nathaniel Brooks, Alpha of the Silver Star Pack.
15:21He smiled, taking my suitcases.
15:22Scarlett Bennett, School of Pack Strategy.
15:24I replied.
15:25For the first time in my life, my wolf purred.
15:30He noticed the silver burned scars on my arms, but didn't cry.
15:34If you need any help, contact me.
15:35He said, handing me his card.
15:37I watched him leave, a long-lost warmth rippling in my heart.
15:40This was the first person to show me kindness in this new world.
15:44At the Silver Star opening ceremony, the Grand Auditorium was packed as the freshman representative.
15:49I stood backstage, took a deep breath, and stepped onto the podium.
15:52The spotlight hit me.
15:53I heard low gasps from the audience.
15:55Is that Scarlett?
15:56She looks gorgeous without her glasses.
15:58Her white wolf aura is breathtaking.
16:00Those thath glasses can cleeled away her beauty.
16:02I ignored the whispers and smoothly delivered my speech, winning thunderous applause.
16:06As I stepped down, I met Nathaniel's emerald eyes in the front row.
16:09He gave me a slight nod, his gaze filled with gentle approval.
16:13Meanwhile, at Blood Moon University, Kelly was showing off her diamond bracelet to a group of freshmen.
16:18This is the limited edition gift Caleb gave me.
16:21Suddenly, a girl exclaimed, look at the PAC network's trending topics.
16:24The Silver Star Repuapso Scarlett is way too pretty.
16:27Kelly snatched the phone.
16:29On the screen was my photo.
16:30My skin was white as snow, my features flawless.
16:33There was no trace of the ugly much she used to bully.
16:36Intense jealousy and unnies surged in Kelly's heart.
16:39Caleb kicked open his dorm door, his face terrifyingly dark.
16:42He had gone to the PAC management department to look for me, only to be told I didn't exist.
16:47Then, he saw my photo on the PAC network.
16:51Why didn't I tell him I changed my application?
16:53Why did I never take off those glasses to show him my true face?
16:57He viciously smashed his phone.
17:00Turning around, he saw the envelope I left.
17:02He tore it open and read the note.
17:04Caleb, let's break up.
17:05I know you used me as a tool, but I also treated you as a vibrator.
17:09Let's never see each other again.
17:12Caleb's face instantly turned deathly pale.
17:15He stared at the words.
17:16I knew.
17:17Since when?
17:18No wonder I changed my application and acted so cold.
17:21He crumpled the letter, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag to suppress his irritation.
17:25Kelly called urgently.
17:26Caleb, did you see Scarlett's photo?
17:28I saw it.
17:29Caleb interrupted coldly.
17:30Whether she's pretty or not has nothing to do with me.
17:33We've broken up.
17:34He hung up.
17:35Everything was going according to his plan he and Kelly were together.
17:37But why did his alpha heart feel so incredibly empty?
17:41At Silver Star, I was focused on reading in the library.
17:44A cup of hot milk tea was gently placed in front of me.
17:47You need to take breaks.
17:48Nathaniel smiled faintly, sitting opposite me.
17:51He recommended a territory resource professor's class for me.
17:54Then, he noticed the silver burn scars on my arm.
17:57Did you fall?
17:58He asked.
17:58I pulled my arm back subconsciously.
18:01Yeah, I accidentally fell down the stairs.
18:03He didn't pry.
18:03He just handed me a tube of scar healing ointment.
18:05Try this.
18:06I took the ointment, feeling a trace of warmth.
18:09Here, no one knew my past.
18:11I could truly start over.
18:12At 10.30 at night, Nathaniel brought me a hot caramel macchiato.
18:15How did you know I like this flavor?
18:17I asked.
18:17He pushed up his glasses, his emerald eyes smiling.
18:20You bought this last time at the cafeteria.
18:21I froze.
18:22He remembered a detail even I hadn't noticed.
18:26Nathaniel pulled a document from his bag.
18:28Our research group has a seminar next week.
18:31Do you want to join us?
18:32I hesitated.
18:33My past interactions with Pax had been disastrous.
18:36Don't worry.
18:37His voice was gentle and sincere, with no alpha pressure.
18:40The people are friendly, and your insights would help.
18:43I nodded.
18:44Okay.
18:44His smile thawed a frozen corner of my heart.
18:46Meanwhile, Caleb lay on his bed, scrolling through our old chat history.
18:49My messages were earnest.
18:51The cafeteria food is great.
18:53I made you seafood rice porridge.
18:54I saved late night snacks for you.
18:56His replies were always a perfunctory.
18:59Yeah.
19:00Or simply left on reed.
19:01A giant boulder blocked his chest.
19:03He felt he had lost something irreplaceable.
19:06Kelly texted him.
19:08Caleb, I saw a pretty dress.
19:10Drive me to buy it right now.
19:11Normally, he would agree instantly.
19:13But today, an inexplicable annoyance surged in him.
19:15Kelly had been throwing tantrums over the slightest things.
19:18He thought of me how I would quietly heat his food, never complaining.
19:21Even when he abandoned me for her.
19:23He sat up abruptly and clicked on my Instagram, only to find I had blocked him long ago.
19:28I stood at the podium in a lecture hall, fluently presenting my data analysis.
19:33Scarlett's analytical approach is extremely clear.
19:37Welcome to our research group.
19:39The professor praised.
19:42Nathaniel handed me a bottle of water outside.
19:44Nervous?
19:45I shook my head.
19:48It went smoother than I expected.
19:50Everything was moving in a better direction.
19:52At a large academic exchange conference, my heart sank when I saw the nameplate for Blood Moon University.
19:58Isn't that Scarlett?
19:59The dumped ex-girlfriend of our Blood Moon Alpha?
20:02A girl whispered harshly.
20:03I heard she shamelessly clung to Caleb.
20:06Deserved to get dumped.
20:07The painful memories flooded back.
20:09Suddenly, Nathaniel appeared beside me.
20:11Scarlett, your data model is highly innovative.
20:13Even the professor couldn't stop praising it.
20:16He said loudly enough for everyone to hear.
20:18The whispering stopped.
20:20The girls walked away resentfully.
20:22Back at Blood Moon, Caleb received a scheduled package I had arranged three months ago.
20:26It was a one-year anniversary photo album.
20:28Flipping through it, he saw photos of us with my handwritten notes on the back.
20:31The first time you walked me home, I wanted to spend a little more time with you.
20:37Tucked at the very end was a small box containing a pair of handmade silver rings.
20:41A sticky note fluttered down.
20:42Caleb, happy anniversary.
20:44I hope one day you'll be willing to wear it.
20:46Caleb slammed the album shut, feeling as if a blade had struck him hard in the chest.
20:52At 1 a.m., the lights in the lab were still on.
20:55My experiment had hit a wall.
20:56Try adjusting this parameter.
20:58A savory sandwich was placed by my hand as Nathan leaned over.
21:01He carried a pleasant scent of pine and soap.
21:03I modified the formula, and it worked.
21:05While packing up, I accidentally knocked over a reagent bottle.
21:08Nathaniel blocked it with lightning speed, but the liquid spilled all over his cup.
21:12Your shirt!
21:13I panicked, pulling out tissues, remembering Caleb's explosive hanger over dirty clothes.
21:19It's fine.
21:20Nathaniel calmly took off his dress shirt, revealing a plain white t-shirt.
21:23Let's go, I'll walk you back.
21:24Under the scattered streetlights, he handed me a thermos.
21:27Collagen vanilla milk.
21:29Helps with sleep.
21:30I gripped the bottle.
21:32He was always like this, appearing right when I needed him, giving me an unprecedented sense of security.
21:38Scarlet.
21:39He suddenly stopped.
21:40What those people said today, you shouldn't be talked about like that.
21:43If someone is worth your true heart, they should cherish it, not betray it.
21:48My heart skipped a beat.
21:49I lowered my head.
21:51Good night, Nathaniel.
21:52Meanwhile, at blood moon, Kelly slammed her hands on the cafe table.
21:56Are you even listening to me?
21:58Is it because of the ugly geek, Scarlet?
22:01Stop calling her a geek.
22:02He interrupted coldly.
22:03Kelly froze.
22:04You're yelling at me for her?
22:07Fine!
22:07Go find her!
22:09Caleb stood up, tossed a few bills on the table, and slammed the door.
22:11Go back by yourself.
22:13In a dim bar, Caleb downed whiskey glass after glass.
22:17What's going on with you?
22:18His buddy, Marcus, asked.
22:19Is it because of Scarlet?
22:22Don't mention her to me.
22:24Caleb's eyes turned cold.
22:25Marcus frowned.
22:26Right.
22:27Last time at the Lunar Escape Room, did Kelly's minion secretly take a remote control?
22:30That thing looked like the controller for the silver shock chair.
22:32Caleb snapped his head up.
22:33What?
22:34Someone posted on the network saying they saw Kelly lock the door on purpose, but the post
22:37was deleted quickly.
22:38Marcus lowered his voice.
22:39Caleb's knuckles turned white.
22:41He remembered me standing drenched at the door, saying I was tied to a silver shock chair.
22:45He had laughed at me.
22:46His chest felt like it had been viciously stabbed.
22:48At the same time, I received a malicious message from a former bully.
22:51It was a screenshot of Kelly's Instagram, an intimate photo of her kissing Caleb, captioned,
22:56Together Forever.
22:56I casually replied, None of my business.
22:59Then I deleted the contact.
23:00After dinner, Nathaniel and I strolled by the river.
23:03When I was little, I felt stars were friends who would never betray me.
23:07I said softly.
23:08And now?
23:09He asked.
23:10Now?
23:11I found there are werewolves on Earth worth trusting, too.
23:14I smiled at him.
23:15My phone suddenly rang.
23:16Scarlet.
23:17Caleb's hoarse voice came through.
23:18I was wrong.
23:19Can we meet up?
23:20Just once?
23:21There's no need.
23:22I said calmly, hanging up cleanly.
23:28Kelly smashed the jewelry box against the wall.
23:32Last year you threw me a yacht party, and this year you're brushing me off with a neckl-
23:41Scarlet, are you regretting dumping that mutt?
23:44They're all lovey-dewey.
23:45She's completely forgotten about you.
23:48Enough.
23:49Kelly, we're done.
23:50Caleb smashed her phone and walked away, ignoring her screams.
23:53In the bar, Marcus poured Caleb a drink.
23:56Remember Scarlet's birthday last year?
23:58You just gave her chocolates, and she was thrilled.
24:00She never asked for gifts.
24:02Caleb remembered how cautious and enduring I always was.
24:04Those words stabbed viciously into his heart.
24:07He silently covered his face and let out a deep sigh.
24:09After studying, I toured on my phone to see over a dozen missed calls from my father.
24:13Your mother's old illness has flared up again, and it's quite serious.
24:17He choked with emotion.
24:18Tears streamed down my face.
24:20My mom is in the healing ward.
24:22I choked out.
24:23Nathaniel handed me a tissue and nodded gently.
24:25I'll go with you.
24:27Over the next three days, Nathaniel secured the best ward and a specialist.
24:31On the day of discharge, my mother held his hand.
24:33I leave my daughter in your care.
24:36Nathaniel nodded solemnly.
24:39Rest assured.
24:40My cheeks burned instantly.
24:42Meanwhile, in the escape room security office, a staff member accidentally clicked an archived video.
24:47The screen froze on Kelly and her friends forcing me onto a silver lace shock chair.
24:51My body convulsed in agony.
24:54The staff member was shocked and sent the video to Caleb's friend.
24:57Caleb had just finished a basketball game when his phone vibrated crazily.
25:00He clicked on the surveillance screenshots.
25:02His blood seemed to freeze.
25:04In the picture, my face was deathly pale.
25:06My lips bit into bleeding.
25:07Standing aside, Kelly wore a vicious smile.
25:09He smashed his phone, grabbed his jacket, and rushed out.
25:12He burst into Kelly's room and showed the photos in front of her.
25:15Explain.
25:16Kelly's face turned deathly pale.
25:19This is photoshopped.
25:21The staff saw it with their own eyes.
25:23Do you think I'm an idiot?
25:24Caleb forced her to look up.
25:25I just loved you too much.
25:29You provoked her first.
25:31Shut up!
25:32Caleb violently shook her off, roaring in anger.
25:34Did you know she was running a fever?
25:35Did you know she was handcuffed for an entire night?
25:38He backed away in unprecedented disgust.
25:41We're done.
25:42Don't ever show your face to me again.
25:44He slammed the door, leaving Kelly sitting paralyzed on the floor, screaming and crying.
25:50At a rustic packed tavern deep in the Silver Star territory, a thick slab of venison was roasting
25:54over an open fire.
25:56Nathaniel carved a tender, rare piece of meat and placed it on my plate.
25:59His pine scent suddenly grew stronger as he spoke.
26:01Scarlet, I have something to tell you.
26:04I looked up.
26:05His striking emerald eyes were glowing with a primal, undisguised heat.
26:08I want you.
26:10Nathaniel looked straight into my eyes.
26:12I want you to be the Luna of Silver Star.
26:14My silver fork clattered onto the wooden table.
26:17My heart raced so fast that with his enhanced alpha hearing, he could definitely hear it pounding.
26:22Over the past few months, his gentle alpha presence had slowly melted my defenses, but...
26:28My wolf purrs for you too.
26:30I said softly,
26:31But I still need a little time to heal my broken bond from the past.
26:36Nathaniel nodded earnestly, patiently listening.
26:38I took a deep breath, recounting that unbearable past.
26:41How Caleb used me as a mating practice dummy, and how he left me strapped to a silver chair
26:45to die.
26:47I was like an idiot, suppressing my true white wolf aura just for him.
26:51My inner wolf let out a mournful whimper.
26:54Scalding tears splashed onto my hands.
26:56The next second, Nathaniel pulled me into his arms, enveloping me completely in his soothing
27:00forest scent.
27:02He rested his chin on my head, his chest vibrating with a protective alpha rumble.
27:06He was unworthy of your loyalty.
27:07Those simple words made me break down completely.
27:09I grabbed his shirt collar, letting out all the repressed grief.
27:12Sensitive hearing of the surrounding wolves caught my sobs, drawing curious glances.
27:15Nathaniel instantly flashed his glowing emerald eyes, releasing a heavy, warning alpha pressure
27:19across the entire tavern.
27:21The pack members immediately lowered their heads in absolute submission, not daring to
27:25look our way again.
27:26Cry.
27:28I'm right here to protect you.
27:30He whispered.
27:32Late at night in the boys' dorm, Caleb stared at his computer screen, his eyes bloodshot.
27:37He had scoured every pack network but couldn't find any recent.
27:40Updates about me.
27:41It wasn't until 3am that he found a group photo from an academic exchange on a classmate's.
27:45Instagram.
27:46In the corner, Nathaniel and I stood shoulder to shoulder.
27:48I was looking up and smiling at the boy beside me.
27:50That smile stung Caleb's eyes.
27:52Once upon a time, a smile like that belonged only to him.
27:55He zoomed in and noticed Nathaniel's hand hovering protectively over my waist.
27:59The intimacy between us was undeniable.
28:01A sudden sourness jumped in the stomach.
28:03Caleb slammed his laptop shut, grabbed his motorcycle keys, and rushed out.
28:06Meanwhile, Kelly's nightmare was just beginning.
28:09Her malicious acts of bullying flooded the campus forum.
28:12She was expelled, and the green pack stock price took a hit.
28:14She hid in her villa, frantically calling Caleb, but he never answered.
28:18Her laugh just shoved her to the ground, trampling her designer bag.
28:24Caleb won't let you get away with this!
28:26She screamed hysterically.
28:27He dumped you ages ago!
28:30The girls laughed.
28:31Nathaniel and I arrived at my dorm building.
28:33Thanks for today.
28:34I said, a faint smile on my lips.
28:36Thank you for trusting me.
28:38Nathaniel gently held my hand.
28:39About what you said earlier, I can wait.
28:44You won't have to wait too long.
28:46I stood on my tiptoes and pressed a soft kiss to his cheek.
28:49Good night, Nathaniel.
28:50This fleeting kiss made the tips of his ears burn red.
28:52On the other side of the street, Caleb's motorcycle was parked in the shadows.
28:56He gazed at the brightly lit campus, watching me run inside.
29:02The next day, Caleb intercepted us outside the gates of Silver Star University.
29:06He looked at me with red-rimmed eyes.
29:09Scarlet!
29:09He practically dashed over, but Nathaniel stepped sideways to block him.
29:12What are you doing?
29:13Nathaniel's gaze was calm and resolute.
29:15Get lost!
29:16Caleb shoved Nathaniel aside, but froze when he saw my subconscious backward step.
29:23What are you looking for me for?
29:25We've already broken up.
29:26My voice was very light, yet sharp as a knife.
29:28I don't want to see you.
29:29I know I was wrong.
29:30Caleb urgently pulled my handmade silver ring from his pocket, trembling as he slipped
29:33it onto his own finger.
29:34Look, I wear it every day.
29:36From now on, I'll cherish you.
29:39I'll make it up to you.
29:40The ring glinted faintly, but I only found it ironic.
29:42Back when I crafted it, he couldn't even be bothered to glance at it.
29:46Now he was using it as a bargaining chip.
29:49Caleb, I took a deep breath.
29:50Some hurts cannot be erased just by an apology.
29:53Let's just let each other go.
29:55Nathaniel took my hand at the right moment.
29:56The warmth radiating from his palm brought me an inexplicable sense of peace.
30:00Caleb stood rooted to the spot, watching us leave.
30:03Late at night, Kelly dragged her exhausted body back to her empty dorm.
30:06Just as she pushed the door open, a large hand violently yanked her inside.
30:13Her scream was muffled.
30:14In the darkness, Caleb's face was inches away, his eyes as cold as ice.
30:19Long time no see.
30:20He smiled cruelly.
30:21We still have a score to settle.
30:27Caleb dragged Kelly by the hair, shoving her into his car while she struggled and screamed.
30:31In the basement of his villa, the lighting was a sickly white.
30:34Kelly was tied to an electric shock chair, her wrists bleeding.
30:38She watched in terror as Caleb slowly put on his gloves and picked up the remote control.
30:43What you did to Scarlett back then, today, we're paying it back tenfold.
30:49He pressed the switch, and the electric chair buzzed.
30:52No!
30:52Caleb!
30:53I'm begging you!
30:54The electric current surged through her body, her agonizing screams echoing through the basement.
30:59A month later, Caleb drove personally, sending the dying Kelly to a psychiatric healing ward.
31:04This patient's mental state has completely collapsed.
31:07The doctor frowned.
31:08Atone for your sins with me.
31:10Caleb said coldly, walking away from her heart-wrenching cries.
31:12Meanwhile, on the awards stage of the International Academic Conference,
31:16under the dazzling lights, I stood before the microphone.
31:19I proudly raised the gleaming golden trophy in my hand.
31:22A year ago, I was casually discarded by Caleb as a practice student who's not a vet care,
31:26but now I was the center of attention.
31:28Thank you to the organizing committee.
31:31My voice was clear and firm.
31:33My gaze swept across the audience, finally resting on Nathaniel in the first row.
31:36He was looking at me intently, his eyes filled with a smile.
31:39But the person I want to thank the most is Nathaniel.
31:44If it weren't for him, I might never have walked out of the shadows of the past.
31:47I said softly, but every word was clear.
31:49He was the one who let me know that I deserve to be cherished, that I deserve to stand here.
31:53Thunderous applause erupt from the audience.
31:55The host teased with a smile.
31:57It seems our winner has a special someone to thank.
31:59Mr. Brooks, as the one singled out for thanks, how do you feel?
32:02The camera focused on Nathaniel.
32:03He stood up, pulled out a pre-prepared bouquet of white tulips from under his seat,
32:07and walked step by step toward the stage under everyone's gaze.
32:11I froze in place, my heartbeat suddenly accelerating.
32:14Nathaniel stood before me, handed me the bouquet, and then took off his glasses,
32:18revealing those emerald eyes that were always so gentle.
32:21Scarlet.
32:21He called my name softly, his voice so low only I could hear.
32:24I actually prepared a very long confession for today, but now I'm so nervous I forgot it all.
32:31A burst of laughter and applause erupted from the audience.
32:34I couldn't help but smile too, though my eyes grew slightly hot.
32:36Nathaniel took a deep breath and held my hand, his voice finally steadying.
32:39I love you.
32:41I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
32:43The entire hall instantly fell silent, everyone holding their breath, waiting for my response.
32:48I looked at him, the bits and pieces of the past six months flashing through my mind.
32:52I do.
32:52I said softly.
32:54Nathaniel froze for a second, and then a light of pleasant surprise burst from his eyes.
32:58He pulled me into his arms, and amidst countless camera flashes and cheers,
33:01lowered his head and kissed me.
33:03I closed my eyes, the bouquet in my hands trembling slightly.
33:08After the awards ceremony ended,
33:10photos of the two of us and the video of our kiss quickly climbed the trending topics,
33:14related trending topics almost took over the entire pack.
33:17The comment section was full of blessings,
33:18along with many netizens who couldn't help shipping a couple.
33:23What kind of idle drama plot is this?
33:25This academic alpha-luna couple is too sweet,
33:27who said before that Scarlet wasn't good enough for Caleb.
33:30Look at who the real winner in life is now.
33:31Meanwhile, I was curled up on the sofa in Nathaniel's apartment,
33:34scrolling through the news on my phone, unable to hold back a laugh.
33:37We must seem to be at Rose.
33:39Nathaniel wrapped his arms around me from behind,
33:41resting his chin on the top of my head.
33:43How could we not be high stale?
33:45Have to let certain people see clearly.
33:48Whose luna you are now?
33:51I fell back into his arms, laughing.
33:53At six in the morning,
33:54a thin layer of mist still shrouded the ground floor of my dormitory.
33:58Caleb, carrying piping hot milk and a cheesecake,
34:01leaned against a tree trunk,
34:03his eyes fixed intently on the dormitory entrance.
34:06He had been doing this for a week straight.
34:08Every day, without fail, he delivered breakfast,
34:11then carefully texted me to tell me where he left it.
34:14But I never replied once,
34:16and those breakfast were always taken away untouched by the cleaning lady.
34:20Today, he specifically bought my former favorite cheesecake.
34:23When Nathaniel and I walked out side by side,
34:26brushing shoulders and smiling,
34:28Caleb's heart twisted with a fierce ache.
34:32He took a deep breath and quickly stepped forward.
34:35Scarlet!
34:36I looked up, my smile vanishing instantly.
34:39Nathaniel subconsciously took a half step forward,
34:41shielding me behind him.
34:42I know you hate me.
34:44Caleb's voice was incredibly haric.
34:45But can you give me a chance to make it up to you?
34:47Do you think I would still treat you like before?
34:49I shook my head.
34:49Those things are in the past.
34:51I'm doing great now.
34:52Nathaniel gently held my hand,
34:53their fingers intertwining.
34:55The gesture stung Caleb's eyes.
34:57Let's go.
34:58I said to Nathaniel, turning around to leave.
35:02Wait!
35:03Caleb suddenly grabbed my wrist.
35:06Just five minutes, let's talk.
35:08Nathaniel's eyes sharpened.
35:09He was about to step forward, but I gently held him back.
35:13It's fine.
35:14I'll handle it.
35:15I looked straight into Caleb's eyes.
35:17What do you want to say?
35:19Caleb opened his mouth, only to find a thousand words stuck in his throat.
35:23But in the end, he only managed to squeeze out.
35:25Are you and Nathaniel together?
35:27Yes.
35:28I answered crisply and cleanly.
35:30His eyes instantly turned red, tears welling up uncontrollably.
35:34I'm sorry.
35:35I was a jerk back then.
35:37I was blind.
35:38I didn't cherish you.
35:39He cried like a child, completely ignoring the growing crowd of students watching us.
35:43I looked at him quietly, my heart surprisingly calm.
35:45Those memories that once made me wish for death now felt like they belong to another lifetime.
35:49I've received your apology.
35:51I said softly, but it's impossible for us now.
35:54Because I don't love you anymore.
35:55I interrupted his pleas.
35:56And I am very happy now.
35:58Nathaniel stepped forward at the right moment.
35:59Caleb, if you still want to part on decent times, don't bother Scarlet ever again.
36:04Caleb defeatedly let go of his grip, turning and walking away like a man who had lost his soul.
36:08Are you really okay?
36:10Nathaniel asked with concern in the cafe.
36:13Actually, letting go is easier than I imagined.
36:15I smiled.
36:16I thought seeing him again would be agonizing, but I just realized that all of that is truly in the
36:21past.
36:22If he ever harassed you again, tell me immediately.
36:25Nathaniel reached out and held my hand.
36:27He won't come back.
36:28I looked out the window.
36:29A man as proud as Caleb has exhausted all his dignity today.
36:33Besides, I have you now.
36:35Piercing screams echoed down the hallway of the psychiatric healing ward.
36:39Kelly lunged hysterically at her roommate, reaching out to snatch a comb.
36:42This was already the third time such a conflict had occurred this week.
36:45Get not lost!
36:47Do you know who I am?
36:48Kelly, her eyes bloodshot, screamed like a madwoman.
36:51I am Alpha Caleb's mate!
36:53Just wait until I get out of here.
36:55I'll make you all pay!
36:57The patients let out sharp, mocking laughter.
36:59In here, the packed background she was so proud of was completely worthless.
37:02Amidst the shoving, someone gave her a vicious picture of mine.
37:05Kelly's foot slipped, and her entire body tipped backward.
37:07A miserable shriek was accompanied by the sickening crunch of shattering bones.
37:11She tumbled down the stairs, finally collapsing in a twisted heap on the freezing floor.
37:16When the packed doctor announced the diagnosis, Kelly's father's face turned livid.
37:21High-level paralysia?
37:22How is that possible?!
37:24I'm sorry, but Ms. Green's spine is severely damaged.
37:28She will require full-time care for the rest of her life.
37:31The doctor pushed up his glasses.
37:32In the healing ward room, Kelly lay on the bed like a corpse, only her eyes still able to move.
37:37She stared blankly at the ceiling, eventually shedding tears of by dotty tear remorse.
37:41Meanwhile, in an airport departure lounge, Caleb stared blankly at his phone screen.
37:45The last message in the chat box showed as read, but there was still no reply.
37:48Attention passengers on flight CA-987 to London.
37:52The announcement startled him out of his thoughts.
37:54He put away his phone with a bitter smile, grabbed his carry-on, and walked toward the security checkpoint.
37:59In the moment he turned around, he seemed to see that girl with black-rimmed glasses again, standing at the
38:03school gate and smiling at him.
38:04I wish you happiness.
38:05He said softly.
38:08After sending this message, he deleted all contact information, as if completely erasing an unbearable past.
38:14Under the cherry blossom trees on the Silver Star University campus, I looked at my phone screen, frowning slightly.
38:19I shook my head and decisively blocked the unknown number.
38:22Nothing, just someone irrelevant.
38:24Nathaniel understood and held my hand.
38:27You're going to France for the PAC exchange project next week.
38:30Is everything ready?
38:31Yeah.
38:32I leaned on his shoulder.
38:33I just can't bear to leave you.
38:35A year will pass quickly.
38:37Nathaniel gently kissed the top of my head.
38:39When you come back, I have something important to tell you.
38:41In the Brooks PAC villa over the weekend, I nervously smoothed my skirt.
38:45Don't worry.
38:46Nathaniel squeezed my palm.
38:48My parents will definitely like you.
38:50Luna Emily Brooks' eyes lit up the moment she saw me.
38:54This must be scarlet, right?
38:56Even prettier than in the photos.
38:59Nathaniel has always been picky since he was little.
39:01Emily said with a smile, putting food on my plate.
39:04You're the first girl he's cared about this much.
39:06Before leaving, Emily slipped a diamond bracelet onto my wrist.
39:09This is passed down to the Brooks PAC's Luna.
39:12Please accept it.
39:13When saying goodbye at the airport, Nathaniel pressed a delicate little box into my hand.
39:18Open it when you get there.
39:19He hugged me tightly.
39:20His voice slightly choked.
39:21I'll wait for you to come back.
39:22As the plane soared into the sky, I opened the box.
39:25Inside was a diamond ring and a note.
39:27When you come back, we'll get engaged.
39:31I curled up on the sofa, staring at my laptop screen.
39:34The lab data came out today.
39:36I said to Nathaniel on the other side of the screen,
39:39Even better than expected.
39:41On the screen, Nathaniel was in his pajamas, clearly having just finished an all-nighter,
39:45but his eyes were strikingly bright.
39:47I knew you could do it.
39:48Have you booked the flight for next week?
39:50He asked, his voice hiding in unconcealable anticipation.
39:53I nodded, my heartbeat suddenly quickening.
39:56Arriving Sunday afternoon at 3.
39:58I'll pick you up.
40:00When I left a year ago, he said he would wait for my return.
40:03Now, I was finally going back to him.
40:05At the airport boarding gate, I checked my passport and boarding pass over and over.
40:10Over the past year, I had completed three major research projects.
40:15Yet, I always felt a piece of my heart was missing.
40:18The 12-hour flight felt like a century-long wait.
40:21When the captain announced the descent, fine beads of sweat had already formed on my palms.
40:26While claiming my luggage, my fingers trembled slightly.
40:29The exit was crowded with people, and my eyes eagerly searched for that familiar figure.
40:33And then, I saw him.
40:36Nathaniel stood at the very front of the crowd in a crisp suit, holding a large bouquet of flowers.
40:42Scarlet.
40:42He called out softly, his voice trembling a little.
40:45This moment was too precious.
40:46I didn't dare to approach easily, terrified it was just a dream.
40:50But Nathaniel had already strode forward, pulling me into his arms.
40:54The scent of flowers mixed with his familiar pine aura, making my eyes instantly well up with tears.
41:00Welcome home.
41:02He whispered in my ear, his breath hot.
41:05Nathaniel suddenly dropped to one knee, pulling a velvet box from his pocket.
41:08A year ago, I said we'd get engaged when you came back.
41:11He opened the box, revealing a diamond ring even more exquisite than the last.
41:15Now I want to ask, Scarlet, will you be my Luna?
41:20Will you marry me?
41:21The noise of the airport seemed to vanish in an instant.
41:24I looked at the man before me, whose eyes were filled only with me.
41:31I do.
41:32I heard myself say.
41:34Nathaniel's hands trembled slightly as he carefully slipped the ring onto my ring finger,
41:38then stood up to hold me tightly.
41:42I love you.
41:43He murmured against my lips.
41:45I love you too.
41:47I replied, feeling that the empty corner of my heart was finally filled.
41:50I love you too.
41:51I love you too.
41:53I love you too.
