My 19th birthday was supposed to be perfect. Instead, it became the day my world fell apart. Picture this: Me, walking in on my boyfriend Darian tangled up with Scarlet, my so-called best friend. Talk about a birthday surprise, right? Heartbroken and furious, I ran into the woods, desperate to escape. That's when things got really strange. It was time for my werewolf transformation, but something went terribly wrong. Pain ripped through me as I got stuck halfway between human and wolf. There I was, alone and scared, thinking this was how I'd die. But then he showed up. A massive gray wolf with eyes that seemed to look right into my soul. I couldn't believe it. Niko Kaine Silverbane, the Alpha King in the flesh. Kaine helped me complete my shift, but that was just the beginning. Something sparked between us, a connection I couldn't explain. It was electric, intense, and a little bit terrifying. Next thing I know, I'm trying to save my ex friend, enrolled at Banes Academy, surrounded by other young werewolves. That's where I learned the truth: Kaine and I are destined mates. Me, the orphan girl, fated to be with the most powerful Alpha in the country. It sounds like a fairy tale, right? Wrong. Turns out, being the Alpha King's mate comes with a target on your back. Enemies are everywhere, including faces I once trusted. And Kaine? He's got secrets darker than a moonless night. Now I'm racing against time to master my newfound powers and stand beside Kaine against the forces trying to tear us apart. But as the danger grows, so do my feelings for him. Will I find the strength to become the Alpha Luna I'm meant to be? Or will the darkness consume us both?

We burst through the dorm building doors, our footsteps thundering up the stairs. Scarlet and the other helpers followed close behind, their breaths coming in terrified gasps.

"Where's Tom?" Sarah cried, looking back.

"Here!" His voice echoed from below. "Close the door! Close it now!"

He sprinted into our dorm room seconds later, and we slammed the door shut. Everyone collapsed onto the floor, a tangle of trembling limbs and ragged breathing. I found myself clutching Scarlet's arm, and for a moment, our past seemed to disappear in the face of what we'd just survived.

"That was..." Maria whispered, "that was..."

"Insane," Tom finished, leaning against the wall. "Complete insanity."

Scarlet turned to him, her eyes wide. "How did you know the gargoyle would—"

"I didn't," he admitted. "I just... hoped."

Suddenly, Davina's voice cut through my thoughts. "Aria! They've done it – they've killed one of the Shadow Wolves!"
