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

<p>The hallway is long, sounds that don't belong here carrying down the corridor towards me. What is normally the sounds of students laughing and talking on their way to classes is now replaced with horror. The noises are palatable, pressing on me like a physical weight and threatening to slow me as shadows flicker in my vision. My mind is playing tricks on me, trying and nearly succeeding in throwing me into one of my nightmares. The noises reaching me are so eerily similar to the sounds of my parents' and friends' screams as they were slaughtered in my dreams. </p>

<p>A pulsing red clouds my vision for a moment as a deep seated rage bubbles from where I had contained it. It's overflowing, and becoming unpredictable. The paltry control I had believed I had on the volatile nature inside of me is slipping. </p>
