Astra Finnegan has always had a sharp tongue and a natural charm that made her popular—at least, in the human world. On her eighteenth birthday, everything changes when a voice whispers in her mind, “I’m Lola, your wolf.” Now, Astra must leave behind everything she has ever known to attend a school meant for her kind. She’s about to uncover the truth about the father she once presumed dead and the reason she feels irresistibly drawn to the mysterious boy who haunts her dreams. But if she wants to survive in this new world, she’ll have to play by its rules—even if that means faking a relationship with a boy she can’t stand and befriending girls she has nothing in common with. Except this isn’t the world she’s used to. Being headstrong and stubborn might have worked before, but here, it could lead to disaster. Can Astra adapt to the life of a werewolf, or will her defiance cost her everything? Will her fake relationship turn into something real, or will her reckless attitude ruin her chances? Above all, Astra is about to learn what it means to have a mate, as well as prove she belongs in the pack. Because if she doesn’t, rejection is the least of her worries. But, can anyone really run away from who they truly are?

At least that was what I was telling myself.“I want you,” he said again, wrapping his arms around my waist.He breathed me in, placing his face into my neck and pulling me closer. He licked behind my ears, moaning softly. His hands slid under my shirt, to my bare breast, and stayed there. He pulled me again, like he somehow wanted me inside his skin.Like being this close was not enough. He wanted more, and so did I.“Do you want me?” he whispered into my ears, and I felt a shock between my legs.The heat from his lips sending jolts of electricity through my body. I wanted to fight the desire, the mysterious pull that existed between me and this stranger. But it was no use, I had to have him.I needed him as much as he needed me.My lips parted. “Yes.”“What do you want?” He asked, his voice sultry and low.“I want you to take
I woke up earlier than usual to coordinate my outfit. Yes, I was going to be in a uniform like everyone else, but I wanted to look better than I usually did.I wanted everyone to be in awe. I wanted to be worthy of being by Levi’s side.Sunlight was already streaming through the window, the heat from it warming my skin. My body ached less, thanks to Levi's paste, and my mind...well, my mind was filled with a ton of emotions.A fake relationship.It sounded so simple when Levi said it last night. But laying in bed, staring at the ceiling, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. My heartbeat picked up just remembering the way his hands felt on my skin, the way he looked at me like I was something more than just a girl struggling to fit into a world I’d only known for a couple of weeks.He looked at me like I truly belonged, like I was entitled to being Luna, just like the rest of the other female wolves in the park.I hated how badly I wanted it to be real.But it wasn’t. It couldn’t be.We
By the time we reached the pack house, the moon was already high and the horizon shrouded in darkness. We parked a little further from the main driveway, and I followed Levi to sneak through the shadows like we were a couple of fugitives. My body was sore, my head still heavy from everything that had happened in the forest. But I was still able to walk.“Let me carry you,” Levi whispered when I winced after misstepping on a loose stone.“I’m fine,” I said, straightening. “If you carry me, we’ll be slower. Someone might see us, and then we’ll have to answer a bunch of questions.”He muttered something under his breath but didn’t argue, just slowed his pace so I could keep up. We entered through the side door, the one closest to the woods, avoiding any lights or chatter coming from the living room. Once we were safely in the hallway, he glanced over his shoulder, his hair still damp with blood and sweat, eyes flickering across my face.“I’ll walk you to your room,” he said.I nodded, eve
It was just the two of us, against them. An Alpha’s son with anger issues and a beta’s daughter who knew nothing about being a wolf.The odds were not in our favor.It was getting dark, the situation getting worse. I pressed my back against the rook, barely breathing as I kept my eyes on Levi. His face was still pale, damp with sweat, and a clenched jaw.“They’re waiting for us to open out,” he whispered, nostrils flaring. “There’s two of them.”I stiffened. “Can’t we wait them out? You’re still weak, we can’t afford—"He sniffed again, his lips curling. “I can take them. But not both at once. I’ll need your help.”My heart stopped in my chest. “What do you need me to do?”He turned toward me, his eyes darkening. “Keep one of them distracted. Just long enough for me to take out the other. Don’t try to fight them…just keep moving. Can you do that?”I nodded, even though my hands were shaking. “Yeah. I’ll try.”“But first,” he muttered, voice grim, “I need to heal faster. The wolfsbane
Levi and I walked back to his car and drove off, except this time it was different. He put on music and we sang along, stealing glances at one another and actually laughing when we botched up the lyrics.The windows were down, and the breeze tangled in my hair as we drove, trees zipping past in green blurs. Levi had the radio tuned to some throwback rock station, and we were both off-key but unapologetically loud.“Don’t stop…believin’!” he shouted, air-drumming on the steering wheel.“Hold on to that feeeelin’!” I belted, out of breath from laughing.It was like we were friends again, or whatever the fuck you’d call it.Our voices overlapped the actual music, we were lost in our own company. In this moment, we were just two teenagers on a road trip to fish out a herb, not the alpha’s son and the half human girl.I looked out the window and finally noticed the road.The trees didn’t look familiar anymore, the landscape was different. The road curved in ways I didn’t remember. And then
When I woke up Monday morning, I knew something was different. Something in me. I suddenly had a sense of belonging, exploring Moondew the day before made me want to do better. Made me feel bold enough to want to try.I wanted to stay in this magical world and I was willing to do whatever it took to prove it.I found myself humming quietly as I brushed my teeth, an unfamiliar feeling bubbling in my chest. Confidence. It wasn’t loud or showy—just a quiet pulse reminding me that I had made it through another week in Moondew.And I wasn’t broken.Lola was different too, I could feel it. I felt more connected to her than ever. And above all, I could hear her even though she hadn’t spoken. It sounded like she was encouraging me, telling me we’ve got this, and I believed every word.It was the first time in a long while that I didn’t dread going to school.I pulled on my uniform, brushed out my hair until it gleamed, and even applied a little mascara before heading out. There was a lightnes
When Shawn said he needed my help, I panicked. I was worried he was in some kind of trouble or something bad had happened back at Hartville.So imagine my surprise when the next words that left his mouth were;“What does Ella like?”“Huh?” I squeezed my face in annoyance, angry that this was the reason I hadn’t heard the rest of Levi and Alpha Cillian’s conversation.“Her birthday’s coming up,” he explained. “I just want to get her something nice, you know?”“Why?”“What’d you mean why?” He asked, dumbfounded. “She always helps me out with your gifts, what’s wrong with helping with hers?”“Yeah, but I’m your girlfriend, Shawn,” I said irritated. “She’s my best friend, she’s supposed to help.”“Don’t be like that, babe. El’s been really down about you leaving, I figured we could both do something nice for her. To cheer her up. Don’t you want to make your best friend happy?”I swallowed, starting to feel bad. I hadn’t spoken to Ella since she hyped me up on the bleachers when I was feel
Levi hadn’t said a word since we turned back, and I was glad. The last thing I wanted to do was speak to him.The way we had just gone from an eighty to a zero so fast was alarming. The atmosphere in the car was tense, his hands gripping the wheel so tight I thought he’d snap it right off. But none of it moved me, I just wanted to get out of the car and away from him.As soon as the car rolled to a stop, I unbuckled and stepped out, slamming the door a little harder than I intended. I didn’t want to give him the chance to drag out whatever apology or excuse he’d been sleeping on the whole ride back.But then, a part of me did not think Levi had any plan of apologizing. He said what he said—or rather, didn’t—and he meant it.The cool breeze disheveled my black hair, making it fly in different directions as it blew, adding to my frustration. I tried to hold it down with my hand, turning and groaning, only to see Levi watching me attentively from inside the car, his lips pursed into a th
“Let go of me!” I yelled, struggling to break free.I could feel the pressure of his hands around my wrists. Damien’s grip was like steel, and no matter how much I screamed or struggled, he wouldn’t let go. I could see the madness in his eyes, the lust, the power, the hunger. My heart thundered against my ribs, panic rising like bile in my throat.“Let me go!” I screamed again, thrashing against him.But he didn’t. He pulled me closer, whispering something I couldn’t make out. His breath was warm against my ear, but every cell in my body recoiled. I tried again to push him off, nails digging into his arms, tears burning down my cheeks. It felt like it would never end.Then suddenly he jerked. His body trembled, then stilled. He looked down, and so did I.Blood.A dark patch spread across his shirt, blooming like a rose. Damien’s mouth opened, stunned. Then he was yanked upward, lifted off the ground by some invisible force. He screamed, flailing, before he was flung into the sky like
My fingers reached out, gripping the hem of the sheets. My manicured fingers dug into the satin, squeezing the fabric until I could feel my palm go numb. My boyfriend, Shawn, had his head buried between my thighs. His tongue flicked the tip of my clit, and my lips parted with ecstasy. I kept my eyes closed, feeling every touch, every motion. “Keep going,” I whispered, moving my hand so I could place it on his head.He went deeper, going faster, making me gasp loudly. This was always the moment he’d caution me to keep it down, reminding me to stay quiet because my mum was in the room right next to mine. But tonight, he said nothing, he let me moan out my desires.His hands started to move away from my legs, past my belly button to my breast. I used my free hand to follow his, intertwining our fingers to keep us connected.But then I felt something strange, something unusual. His hands were hairier, rougher. His fingers were longer, sharper.I pushed my eyes open in alarm, trying to re...
