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?

Claimed by the Alpha Professor

I watched from the sidelines as Kaine demonstrated a swift takedown move on Scarlet, his powerful frame easily overpowering her smaller one. My heart clenched painfully as I saw her giggle and bat her eyelashes at him when he helped her up.

"Nice work, Scarlet. You're improving," Kaine said in his deep, authoritative voice.

"Thanks, Professor," Scarlet replied sweetly. "I have such an amazing teacher."

I tried to look away, but found my gaze drawn back to them like a magnet. The easy rapport between them made jealousy flare hot in my chest. It had been like this for weeks now - Kaine teaching fighting techniques to various students in the garden while I walked past on my way to class, my heart contracting each time.

When it was finally my turn to practice with Kaine, I stepped forward on shaky legs. "Hello, Aria," he greeted me formally. "Are you ready to begin?"
