Mondays. The word alone made Valeria’s blood boil. As she trudged into her first period at Mooncrest Academy, she steeled herself for another day of torture at the hands of her classmates—the same mag ical misfits who had tormented her since middle school. But today, her simmering rage found its focus on Shadow, a brutish troll with a talent for pushing her buttons. He took her bag and hurled it across the room, scattering its contents. The cuffs binding Valeria’s wrists radiated a dull ache, suppressing her wolf instincts with every flare of anger. “Breathe, breathe, breathe,” she chanted internally, fighting the shift that lurked beneath her skin. Valeria had always been an outcast, ostracized since her family was banished from Wolf Haven. Mooncrest Academy was a chaotic cauldron of trolls, witches, vampires, and fey, but no place for a lone wolf forced to keep her inner beast on a tight leash. Even among the supernatural, she was an outsider. And when two burly wolves flanked by an SUV arrived on campus, Valeria’s curiosity piqued; they seemed to be emissaries from the world she had lost. Her brief encounter with Leo, a mysterious and insanely attractive wolf carrying the weight of a broken past, catapulted her into a maelstrom of emotions and decisions. In a whirlwind of events, Valeria was given an ultimatum—return to Wolf Haven, the enigmatic sanctuary that had cast her out, or remain trapped within the suffocating normalcy of the human world. Her heart raced as she weighed her options, the cuffs on her wrists a constant reminder of her suppressed nature. Despite the unknowns, the call of her true home and the possibility of unraveling the mystery of her parents' banishment proved too compelling. “I accept,” she declared, her wolf growling in anticipation, eyes locked with the imposing figures ready to escort her back to her birthright. As Valeria steps into the unknown, she’s driven by a fierce determination to uncover her past, reclaim her identity, and navigate a world where enemies and allies wear the same faces. Her journey promises danger, discovery, and possibly—true belonging. But one thing is certain: Mooncrest Academy's hallowed halls will never be the same.
