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

It's the weekend, and without Ryker here to train me, I make myself useful in other ways. I spend all of my time in the library - I research everything I can think of to research, and then I read some more.

And when the halls are empty and everyone goes to sleep, I run down to where my Transfiguration class is held to practice shifting and don't stop until I no longer have the energy to try again. My wolf is quiet, healing herself from the blow we were dealt, but we push on. Focusing on making us stronger and better on our own.

I skipped training with Morwenna on Sunday, and she didn't seek me out either.

I haven't really slept, but my body hasn't wanted to anyway. I would be thankful for the break from my nightmares, but with or without my eyelids being closed, I seem to be in a nightmare either way. Reality contains its own special kind of terribleness these days.
