"Is the topic too difficult, or am I the reason you can't seem to focus?" "No, Rosh... It's-" "Say my name like that again and I'll clear this class and teach you a lesson. Just you and me, on this desk." ********** Oreva Hills lives on borrowed time. A frail human with dying lungs, a comatose mother and a selfish step father eager to sell her off. She doesn't ask for much. Just a moment to breathe right, feel loved and maybe, just maybe— get Rick Ryder a young Alpha and golden hockey star of Lunaris to smile at her like she means something. But one bad night and a desperate lie changes everything. After being cornered by a bad guy at a masked party, she lies to protect herself, claiming she already belongs to someone. Someone everyone fears, Someone whose name is forbidden to be mentioned. She never expects her bluff to reach the ears of someone far more dangerous. Someone who now watches her in class, like a predator eyeing its prey. Someone who corrects her every move with an icy calm and someone who knows more about her than he should. Professor Roshan is everything Rick isn't. He's not gentle, he's not safe, but he sees through her daze. Now caught between two strong werewolves, the boy she's always admired from afar and the man who's engraved himself in her thoughts, Oreva is about to go on a rollercoaster for the rest of her numbered days.
