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

The whispers followed me everywhere I went, like autumn leaves skittering across the ground.

"There she is - the one who made the luna list."

I kept my head down, clutching my books to my chest as I hurried through the academy hallways. Ever since the ball and the announcement of the Luna list, it felt like every eye was on me. Some gazes were filled with curiosity, others with barely concealed jealousy and resentment.

I slipped into my next class, sinking into my seat with relief. Jennie leaned over, concerned in her eyes. "You okay, Aria? You look stressed."

I forced a smile. "I'm fine. Just...adjusting."

But the truth was, I wasn't fine. Being thrust into the spotlight as a potential Luna candidate was overwhelming. Half the school suddenly wanted to be my best friend, while the other half seemed to hate me on principle. And leading the hate brigade was Isabel.
