I don't wanna make things
awkward for us.
I mean, that is what we are now,
a pack.
Well, yeah, I guess.
Then it's time
we meet someone alpha. Properly.
-Now?
-You don't have to stay.
-If you feel too weird.
-Why would I feel weird?
What's the emergency?
-OK...

[howls]
Oh, my. Tell me
those are not original vintage.
'80s all-white high tops,
they're so rare
they hardly even exist.
How'd you know about those?
My name's TJ.
Which actually stands
for True Gentleman, and no,
02:12
my mum can't spell.
You gotta tell me,
where'd you get those?
And... do you think
they'll have them two sizes up?
And... what are you doing
for the rest of your life?
[shop bell rings]
[Jana] I told you
he'd snuck off here.
Anything to keep you quiet.
Hey, what's it say? Is it rude?
Is it permanent?
Is it gonna come off?
You got her number.
What?
[chuckles]
I got her number!
-What?
-She's human.
So?
You wanna get with a Wolfblood,
don't you?
I don't think your mum
would like it much.
My mum is not the boss of me.
[mobile phone rings]
Yo. Oh, hi, you all right, Mum?
[all chuckle]
Yeah. All right,
I'll tell her straight away.
Yeah, I'll get the steaks.
[sighs] So, what do you think?
Should I call her today
or is that too keen?
I don't know why I'm asking you.
You're not really
gonna go through with this?
Look, you might be happy
being sad and single...
Uh! How would you know
I haven't had boyfriends?
Matei doesn't count.
[scoffs]
Don't know what you mean.
Yeah, course not.
I'm your alpha now.
You have to pretend
to believe me even if you don't.
03:54
OK, so it's not easy finding
another Wolfblood,
especially in the city,
I get that.
Try it when
you're not really one yourself.
You think Wolfblood girls
are interested in boys
-who ain't transformed yet?
-You will transform.
And things will get easier.
Until then,
is it really worth the hassle?
Uh, you're supposed
to be all for
living side-by-side, ain't you?
Not everyone will feel the same.
Some will be dead against it.
And what they gonna do? Eat her?
If you wanna call, just call.
Yeah? Be bold. Alpha-like.
Girls love that.
Flowers?
Why would you want
to get her dead plants?
[Jana scoffs]
[TJ whistles]
[Imara] You're so pleased
with yourself,
I can practically see
your tail wag.
-What's happened?
-I remembered the steaks.
[Imara] I rely on you
to keep him out of trouble.
[Jana clears throat]
You got a job for me?
-Do you know what déjà vu is?
-You got a job for me?
"When the wild red-haired girl
comes to the village
of Rockybridge..."
-What?
-"...no one knows
that at full moon she transforms
into a wild beast."
-What?
-"Or of her secret love
for handsome,
young Bloodwolf Gideon."
05:21
[funky music playing]
See, told you I was good.
Good? That was...
That was unreal! [chuckles]
How did you learn to do that?
Don't know.
YouTube videos and that, really.
Anyway, you ain't shown me
what you can do yet.
I told you, I'm injured.
How'd you know
I was into boarding?
I'm just an excellent judge
of female character.
Yeah, right. Or you snooped me.
You really should keep
all of your things on private.
I snooped you, too.
Well, I tried anyway.
Couldn't find one thing.
What can I say?
I'm a man of mystery.
It's a bit weird though.
You've got something to hide.
My mum doesn't let me
use social media.
[chuckles] Oh, OK.
But apart from that, she really
is not the boss of me.
OK. [chuckles]
Seriously though,
I don't like secrets.
I need you to be totally upfront
with me. Can you do that?
Sure.
I thought you guys would be
here. You should meet properly.
This is Matei,
Emilia and Selina.
Hi.
[TJ] Niamh runs marathons.
Go on, tell them.
Oh.
07:19
You don't want to hear
about my boring stories.
Don't you know any good ones?
-Emilia, we should go home.
-Um, yeah, me too.
Nice meeting you.
-Hey, where you going? Selina?
-[Katrina] Jealous.
Told you.
[TJ] Look, they was probably
going anyway.
-I don't think they like me.
-Look, my friends are weird.
Should've told you how weird.
-Have you ordered yet?
-Oh, no, I...
No. Sit. My treat.
[mobile phone rings]
-You looking at my phone?
-No, uh...
Sorry, I was thinking
of getting one of these.
Oh.
[Jeffries] A tour de force
of storytelling.
Bloodwolf turns
an old superstition on its head
with a new perspective.
Written with sharp insight
into teenage lives
by new author...
Delete, delete.
By a new, young author...
Tim Jeffries!
What were you thinking?
This is my story!
Kaddy, Sharron, Tam. You didn't
bother changing my name,
just spelt it with a Y.
09:08
Oh, and you disguised
Segolia brilliantly, too. Yeah.
Sologia, yep, yep,
that's the one. Yeah.
Because no one's gonna solve
that puzzle, are they?
How could you do this to me?
Hmm?
Good to see you, Jana.
You too, sir, you too.
I, uh, don't know which way
you're going but...
I could walk you home
if you want.
Do I look like
I need walking home?
I'm not worried
about you being attacked
it's what you'll do to them
that worries me.
[mobile phone rings]
Oh, sorry,
it's probably just my dad
hassling me
for being late again.
-What?
-What's this supposed to mean?
"Run whilst you still can."
-[exhales] Wrong number?
-Yeah, maybe.
Or some jealous boyfriend?
Stalker?
Psycho ex?
A random who looked
at my profile?
I mean,
there is no reason for me
to run from you, is there?
-Course not.
-There's nothing I should know?
What you see is what you get.
Well, you don't look
like much of a threat to me.
10:43
Call me.
[Jeffries]
You may have secret powers
but you're not good at keeping
in touch, you lot, are you?
I'm here to talk about
your new career.
Uh, not really a career
as of yet,
but it's getting up steam.
I've sold 17 e-books
and three hardbacks but...
I expect to double that after
I give my reading tomorrow.
Uh, reading? I don't think so.
You really see my book
as a threat?
You know it's important
to protect the secret
and you go shouting it out
from the rooftops. Why?
I discovered I'd been teaching
a pack of
shape-changing creatures.
I was chased by Stoneybridge's
answer to Men in Black,
I was nearly dog food
on several occasions.
And it was the best thing
that ever happened to me.
You need to get out more, sir.
Then you all left.
And everything went back
to normal.
Normal isn't good enough
anymore.
Don't have a life
so you steal mine?
Have you even read Bloodwolf ?
My boss has.
And that's what matters.
What's your boss sent you here
to say to me, Jana?
-Tell you to take it off sale.
-Or what?
If you don't someone bigger
and scarier will tell you.
11:58
My reading is at the church hall
by the station,
tomorrow at 11:00.
-Jab. And cross. Cross, jab.
-Who was it, come on?
Look, you lot leave the Kafe,
ten seconds later,
Niamh starts getting
psycho text messages.
-Had to be one of you.
-You date a human
and you turn on your pack? Nice.
How were we supposed
to get her number?
From your forehead?
-Well, yeah...
-[all laugh]
-[Selina] Leave it out, yeah.
-Stupid.
-[Matei] Come on.
-Yeah, all right.
We're going to the Kafe
for lunch. Coming?
No. I said I'd meet Niamh.
Oh. Well, in that case,
you best add some ketchup.
I hear humans
are a little... tasteless.
Funny. Yeah, mate, funny.
[thumps boxing mitt]
[whispers] I'm asking you
one last time to cancel.
I've put a lot of work
into this. A lot of thought.
-Don't you get the risk?
-Well, don't you?
I could tell the world I know,
and not dress it up as fiction.
Cold hard fact.
-You won't.
-No.
I wouldn't turn on you.
Is it really worth it?
-Seventeen sales?
-Plus three hardbacks.
[scoffs]
I really didn't wanna do this,
OK?
'Cause I thought
you were like a friend.
13:21
-Even though you are a teacher.
-Highly honoured.
But a real friend
wouldn't do this.
[stammering] What? What would
a real friend do, Jana?
How about show a little faith?
Didn't want you to get hurt.
Look.
Let me give the reading.
After that, I'll do as you say.
I'm sure that
will make your boss very happy.
Hey, you all right?
"I told you to stay away
from him.
I said you'd get hurt
and you didn't listen.
He will have you for lunch."
What does that even mean, TJ?
-So you have nothing to say?
-Wait here.
-OK, bend your knees.
-Emilia, concentrate.
[groans]
-Back off!
-It stops now!
-[snarls]
-I know it was you! Admit it!
Get a hold of your wolf!
It stops now.
Do you understand me?
"What are you doing here, sir?"
asked Yana.
The teacher,
cool and collected as ever,
ran one hand
through his thick lustrous hair,
turned to the Bloodwolf
with a gleaming smile and said,
"Call it pastoral care."
-[audience laugh]
-[Jeffries] Yeah, yeah.
I'd just like to finish with,
uh, one more piece. This...
15:08
Actually...
This is from
the end of the book.
"The teacher watched
as Yana walked away
into the Sologia building.
In her, he saw a leader.
A natural alpha.
And he thought again
of her vision of a future
where Bloodwolves and humans
are not enemies.
And he knew
that she would never allow
some faceless corporate
to compromise that.
She would never let others
use her for their own ends.
She would always be,
true to her wolf."
I just want the truth, OK?
Look, I like TJ,
if you had a fight,
it'd be for a reason.
We didn't have a fight.
Who banged up your eye?
Is there something
he's not telling me?
[Jeffries] Well, uh,
if there are no more questions,
-uh, thank you.
-[audience clapping]
Oh, um, you may have noticed,
I have a young friend with me
here today.
16:41
Um, I'd just like to introduce
you to her.
Her name is Jana.
She's a Wolfblood.
-[audience laugh]
-[Jeffries] Oh, yeah, Uh-huh.
The one I based the book on.
Ha! I'm just messing with you!
-[audience laugh]
-[Jeffries growls, howls]
Thank you, very, very much.
Thank you very much, everyone.
Tell your friends,
your family...
Bloodwolf 2 coming through.
-Ah. Oh.
-What was that?
This book is not an attack
on Wolfbloods.
It's a defence. Thank you.
Besides, tell people
that something's make believe,
they won't believe the truth,
even when it's staring them
in the face.
Why didn't you say yesterday?
Best way to learn
is from experience, Jana.
Besides, you never listen
to a word I say.
Well, maybe if I'd had
the 20-something teacher
-with the thick head of hair.
-Ha!
In book two, you've got spots,
everywhere.
Book two, hmm?
Look, this is your call.
If you stick to the party line,
I have to kill the book.
I can't fight Segolia.
But if I were you,
I'd be asking why
your boss really sent you here.
You think she's threatened
by my 17 sales?
18:00
Or the fact that you still have
human friends? Hmm?
Are you happy now?
It's worked out just the...
[sniffs] Has she been here?
Did you talk to her?
You did, didn't you?
What did you say? Come on.
You think you got rid of her.
Well, you're wrong.
I know I've only just met
this girl,
but I'm really into her.
I mean, massively into her.
If you mess this up for me
by mentioning you-know-what,
then...
I told her
you're a very cool guy.
You've certainly proved that.
Listen, Niamh, I--
There's something
you don't want me to find out.
Tell me now
or I never see you again.
Now.
-Goodbye.
-Niamh. Niamh, come on, Niamh.
-[sighs]
-[door closes]
It's probably for the best.
I didn't like her scent anyway.
You know what?
I never had you down
as the jealous type.
-Sorry?
-Oh, come on.
You don't want me but no one
else can, is that what it is?
Are you saying that I sent those
to your pet?
-Like I could be bothered?
-Don't deny it.
I had a go at Matei.
The whole time...
[Katrina] Oi! You two!
19:36
If I want my establishment
brought down,
I'll do it myself, ta!
Sorry. TJ!
Nice to see you've made
new friends, Katrina.
-Sir!
-Ah, I'm not your teacher now.
-You can drop the "sir."
-Tim!
Actually,
let's stick with "sir."
Can you call me soon?
I need to know where you are.
[Jana] Hey, what's going on?
-It's Niamh's.
-That said Carrie.
-I think this is payback.
-What is?
[exhales] Look.
She's been sending Niamh texts.
Threats. Saying she'll hurt her.
I don't know where Niamh is.
-I can't even pick up her scent.
-OK, calm down.
[breathes heavily]
What if Carrie's got her?
Carrie's supposed to be
in Segolia care.
-I can check now.
-I'm gonna go find Niamh.
TJ!
[sighs]
[mobile phone rings]
Jana, what's happening
with Jeffries?
Never mind Jeffries,
it's Carrie Black.
She might be on the run again.
[mobile phone rings]
-Where are you?
-[Niamh] She's watching me.
She knows where I live.
I ran, I dropped all my stuff.
I jumped on the first bus
that came.
Who said?
-Niamh!
- The girl!
Said she'd rip me apart.
I have no idea what she is
or you are.
21:06
What is she talking about,
why won't you tell me?
I'll explain it, all of it,
just tell me where you are.
[sniffs]
Niamh?
It's me.
Niamh...
I need to know
why this is happening to me.
Right now.
-I think I should call a friend.
-No calls. Talk.
[TJ sighs]
There's this girl, Carrie.
I think she's after you
to get back at me.
For what?
For telling her stuff
I couldn't deliver on.
What stuff?
-It's hard to explain without--
-[scoffs]
My life's in danger and
you still wanna keep secrets?
-I'm a Wolfblood.
-A what?
I'm not like other people.
I'm faster, stronger.
My senses, they...
they tell me there's a fly
in the corner
struggling to get out of a web,
without me even looking.
I change.
Part-human, part-wolf.
And Carrie, she's like me.
You haven't got to be
scared of me!
-Niamh?
-Got you.
Niamh!
It ain't me you've got
to be scared of, it's Carrie!
23:09
Carrie didn't send those texts.
I sent them, to myself.
Huh? But you was there.
The first text came through
in the Kafe, I don't...
Are you dense?
Loads of apps send text later.
It was just planning, like,
setting the fake profiles
for you to snoop.
Like, the graffiti.
Like, all of it.
I don't get it, I just...
Carrie was my best friend.
And she was totally
fixated on you.
She went on and on about you,
"Oh, he's so cool,
he likes the coolest music,
he's obsessed with his stupid
vintage trainers."
You got her totally into you
then pushed her over the edge
with your
made-up Wolfblood nonsense.
You put her in hospital.
She was sent away
and it's all because of you.
Made you feel big, that, did it?
Made you feel special?
Well, you're not. You're sick.
And now everyone's gonna know
what you did.
I'm going to tell her parents,
your parents,
schools, police, papers,
Snapchat, Twitter, Tumblr,
everyone that will listen.
Look, Niamh,
you've got this all wrong.
There's a webcam,
up on that shelf.
Once you've made
a full confession,
24:24
I'll let you out.
Niamh, wait a minute!
You've got this all wrong!
[growls]
Look at me, Niamh! Look at me!
