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?

Morning light filtered through unfamiliar curtains, casting pale shadows across Sage's spare bedroom. I had barely slept, drifting in and out of consciousness as the previous day's events replayed endlessly in my mind. My eyes felt raw from crying, and a hollow ache had settled in my chest where determination once lived.

The quiet apartment amplified my thoughts. Sage had left at dawn, squeezing my hand before heading to assess the aftermath in Gateport. "I'll bring you a new phone," she'd promised, her voice gentle but not pressing me about my decision to leave the academy. I was grateful for that small mercy.

I pulled Sage's borrowed blanket tighter around my shoulders, staring at the ceiling. The weight of yesterday pressed down on me like a physical thing. Tom's face kept appearing in my mind – his trust in me, how he'd followed me into danger without question. I had put my best friend at risk. I had put everyone at risk.
