I never expected Blackmoon Academy to change my life. I came here on a scholarship, surrounded by Alphas, Betas, and wolves who look at me like I don’t belong. But I can handle the whispers, the stares, the constant reminder that I’m an outsider. What I can’t handle is him. Professor Adrian Voss. Cold. Controlled. Impossible to read. The moment our eyes meet, something shifts—a spark igniting deep in my chest, pulling me toward him in ways I don’t understand. He looks at me like he wants me, like he’s fighting something dangerous every time I’m near. But that’s the thing about instincts—you can only suppress them for so long. What starts as stolen glances and unspoken tension spirals into something I can’t escape. Midnight encounters in the library, his breath hot against my skin, hands gripping me like he’s about to lose control. He tries to fight it. I try to pretend it isn’t happening. Until he touches me. Until his restraint snaps. And once an Alpha claims something, he never lets go. But Adrian is hiding something. There’s a reason he’s resisting me. A reason he’s afraid to want me. And when I uncover the truth about who I really am, I realize this isn’t just forbidden—it’s destined. Now, I don’t just want him. I need him. Even if it destroys us both.
