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 combine my two ring blades together to make one thicker one - that way the cuts it makes will be deeper and more severe. Seperately, the blades will barely graze the demon. For a big fella like this, I need to take my offence up a notch.

He throws out a bout of hideous hell magic, and I cleave it in two with my blade.

"One of the old bloods," the demon spoke with a voice that chills to the bones. "What power."

I could say the same about him. We are evenly matched.

A punch to my face stuns me long enough for the demon to knock the blade from my grip and wrap its oily scaled fingers around my neck. His grip is brusing and it's expression is smug as he reaches up with his other hand towards my face. Suddenly the demon screeches in pain as the hand that is between us is pierced by a spike on the end of a chain.
