You have always been the runt of your litter. Smaller and weaker than other wolf hybrids, you spent your life being underestimated. After a humiliating incident at your previous college, you transfer to Blackthorn University, an elite school exclusively for wolf hybrids, hoping for a fresh start. Kael Blackwell, is Blackthorn’s golden boy. The future Alpha of a powerful pack, captain of the combat team, and the most popular hybrid on campus. He’s been dating Sienna Ashford,for four years, and everyone, including Kael, believes they’re fated mates. But the moment you arrive, everything changes. Kael’s wolf becomes dangerously possessive, drawn to the transfer student despite his loyalty to Sienna. Meanwhile, your normally silent wolf awakens with a single word. Mate. Determined never to be someone’s second choice, you avoid Kael, even as your bond grows impossible to ignore. Sienna, Blackthorn’s beautiful and influential queen bee, refuses to lose the future she’s spent years building with Kael. But she doesn’t know their supposedly destined bond was artificially created by their families. Mara Voss, your rebellious roommate and first friend, begins noticing something strange about the couple. Descended from hybrids who can recognize true mate bonds, Mara suspects a secret that could destroy everything. As your suppressed wolf abilities begin awakening, dangerous truths emerge about her bloodline, Kael’s relationship, and the reason you were born different. At Blackthorn, fate may choose your mate, but love is never guaranteed. And you refuse to be anyone’s second choice.
