"Stay out of my way. Don't touch me unless you have to," he hisses, gray eyes sharp as frostbite. Zara lifts her chin, refusing to flinch. "How am I supposed to avoid touching you when we're paired for combat, Your Highness?" Atlas leans in, his breath brushing her throat, too close, too dangerous. "Figure it out... before I figure out how to erase you from this academy." Zara Blackwood wanted a fresh start. To escape the heartbreak, the betrayal, the mate who shattered her, and the best friend who destroyed what was left. But Blackwood Academy isn't a refuge. It's a cage full of monsters wearing crowns. From the moment she steps inside, every Alpha's gaze snaps to her—hungry, possessive, territorial. Yet it's him, Atlas Black—the Top Boy, the untouchable Alpha prince who freezes her blood and ignites her wolf. He claims he hates her. He swears he wants her gone. So why do his eyes darken whenever she's near? Why does her wolf recognize him... like she's known him before?
