Priya Sharma has everything she's ever worked for—a promising career as ao laboratory technician, the unwavering pride of her traditional Indian family, and a future she can finally call her own. But one terrifying night beneath a full moon changes everything. After surviving a mysterious attack, Priya begins experiencing terrifying changes she can't explain. When the next full moon forces her first transformation, she is discovered by a secret organization of supernatural hunters. Their verdict shatters her world: she's become the very creature they've sworn to hunt. Desperate to reclaim her humanity, Priya joins the hunters while using her scientific expertise to search for a cure. Keeping her terrifying secret hidden from her family becomes a daily battle, especially as danger follows her wherever she goes. Among the hunters is Felix, a loyal and compassionate teammate whose quiet love for Priya never wavers, even though she can never return his feelings. Everything changes when an investigation brings the hunters face-to-face with Xander—a dangerously handsome, infuriatingly arrogant werewolf who refuses to be ashamed of what he is. Where Priya sees a curse, Xander sees freedom. Their hatred is instant, their arguments relentless, yet the one man she should fear becomes the only person who truly understands the monster she's becoming. Caught between the hunters who gave her a place to belong, the family she's desperate to protect, and the werewolf who is slowly stealing her heart, she must decide whether to destroy the wolf within her... or embrace the destiny she never chose. Because sometimes the greatest curse isn't becoming a monster—it's discovering you were always meant to be one.
