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

"Certain elder witches prefer a Luna they can control easily, someone to whom they can bestow their magic," Kaine went on. "You... make things more complicated."

The letter trembled in my hands as I read it for the third time, my heart sinking with each word. The other nine finalists had formally protested to the werewolf council about my "unfair advantage" in the competition to become King Kaine's wife and Luna.

I let out a shaky breath, trying to calm my nerves. They weren't wrong - I did see Kaine more often than the others since I studied at his school. But it's not like I had planned this!

A soft knock at my door made me jump. "Come in," I called out, hastily folding the letter and shoving it in my desk drawer.

Kaine's imposing figure filled the doorway, his dark hair slightly disheveled. My breath caught as our eyes met. Even after everything, he still had that effect on me.
