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 thrust my hands forward and the indigo and sapphire flames land at Fenrys feet, devouring the ingredients of the spell Briar had thrown and then spreading outwards. Fenrys gives an unimpressed, but contemplative look at the fire as I keep the flames running high. The fire scorches the ground, incinerating my spilled blood and mixing it with the spells components. The heat rises even further, billowing out from where we all stand and spreading farther into the battle ground around us.

I drop my hands and the flames on the ground die out quickly, leaving behind smoldering ash on the ground as Fenrys stands there unscathed.

"That's a cute new trick," he starts and faces me. Morwenna has landed on the demon - pinning her to the ground with her lips curled back and exposed teeth, now dripping with blood, while Briar focuses on the god. "Though even the Flames of Tarturus aren't strong enough to harm me."
