After losing her parents, a date with her boyfriend goes terribly wrong when she finds her boyfriend cheating on her with a werewolf. He forces a bite on her, and 18-year old Layla Gibbous is forcefully removed from everything she once held dear and is tossed into a new life at a school for the wolves of the night, Alpine Crescent Academy. 

As she learns more about her new abilities, she feels like she is being watched from the shadows. When she keeps running into a mysterious and devilishly handsome man comes on campus, Layla can't help but get close to him. If he is the one in the shadows - is he here to protect her or hurt her? 

At the academy, she is taught more about the history and the two warring factions of wolves: Nestati and Vosak. Can she stay out of the fight? Or is something more at work here, like fate?

Alpine Crescent Academy

I'm not ashamed to say that I snuck a glimpse of Leith's backside before he shifted into a golden brown wolf that hit the ground in a vigorous sprint. The powerful strokes of the werewolves around us creates a tunnel of wind that pushes my hair in my face for a moment before I brush it away. 


I long to join them, to let my wolf and myself feel a taste of freedom that we have so far been denied. Knowing that Teo is willing to stand by my side while her friends partake in the Trcati does make me feel a little guilty, but I also feel lucky to have her with me. 


Growls and howls ring out through the forest, sounding more distant as the seconds pass by. When only a few lone wolves are left, I turn to Teo with a smile. 


"That was unexpected," I tell her with a shake of my head. "Enlightening, though."


"Hmm how so?" she asks, her gaze flickering back to where her friends disappeared in the forest a few moments ago. 


Nice trick
