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

After Tom left, I collapsed back onto Sage's couch, tears streaming down my face again. I couldn't believe that despite everything—despite putting him in danger at Gateport because of my failed plan—Tom still wanted to be my friend. He still believed in me when I couldn't believe in myself.

"You're lucky to have him," Davina's voice whispered in my head.

"I know," I said out loud, wiping my tears with the back of my hand. "I don't deserve a friend like Tom."

"Stop with the self-pity," Davina chided. "It doesn't suit you."

I ignored her, pushing myself off the couch to look at the clock on Sage's wall. Almost noon. Kaine would be here soon, according to Tom. The thought sent butterflies racing through my stomach. What would I say to him? How could I face him after everything that had happened?
