A fragile human thrown into the brutal Academy of Monsters,I was a mistake, weak, unwanted, and destined to break. Until Xander Nightfang the most feared Alpha in existence, Cold, Ruthless, Untouched and my fated mate.For a minute,I believed the moon had finally chosen me. Then he shattered that dream in front of everyone publicly, viciously declaring I was nothing.He expected me to crumble, Instead something ancient and savage Awakened.The timid girl who once begged for scraps of acceptance is dead. In her place rises something darker, powerful and not entirely human.My emotions are fading and my power is surging. The Alpha who cast me aside now watches me with a different hunger...not as his mate, but as the one threat he cannot control because I'm more than his rejected mate. I'm the first bound to his Soul, the shadow that will devour him From within and if he doesn't claim me soon..his reaction won't just destroy me.It will kill us both.
