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?

I stared at my reflection in the mirror, hardly recognizing the girl looking back at me. The emerald green dress hugged my curves perfectly, bringing out the deep red tones in my hair and making my green eyes sparkle. Jennie had really outdone herself with my hair and makeup.

"You look gorgeous, Aria!" Jennie squealed, bouncing on her toes beside me.

I forced a smile, but my stomach churned with anxiety. "Thanks, Jen. You look beautiful too. You should consider a career in make-up and hair-styling."

The last thing I wanted was to attend this ball, not after everything that had happened. Learning the truth about Kaine and Venice, being cursed and sleeping for three days... It was all too much. But we had no choice - we had to keep up appearances and quash the rumors spreading through the school.

Davina, my inner wolf, growled softly. "Stop moping. You're the King's mate - act like it."
