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

We have a couple hours before nightfall, so Rees takes me back to his cave in the mountainside that he had taken me to previously. At least this time I entered the place on my own two feet. It seems just as lonesome and empty in here as it did before, but I suppose he doesn't mind it.

He bends over to sort through some of his belongings for a moment before standing straight once more. In his outstretched hand he holds the potion for a portal bomb but it is housed in a small vial rather than the typical.

"It seems like everyone has spare portal bombs but me," I complain.

"A what?" Rees asks with his lips twisted in displeasure.

I shrug my shoulders. "That's what I've been calling it, anyway," I say and point to the item in his palm.

"It's just a portal potion," he walks over and places a hand on my head. "You really don't know much."

"That much should be obvious," I scoff, pushing his hand off of me. "Where are we going?"
