Seventeen-year-old Kiara Anderson has survived being an orphan and nursing a hopeless crush on Kelvin Grayson, the devastatingly handsome transfer student who seems determined to destroy her. Every smile she offers is met with cruelty, and every kindness with coldness. What Kiara doesn't know is that Kelvin recognized her as his fated mate the moment their eyes met, and it's killing him. As the future Alpha, Kelvin can't afford a human mate. His pack would never accept her, and his father would disown him. So he does the only thing he can: he makes her hate him. But when the one closest to Kiara is revealed to be a monster plotting to use her blood in a deadly ritual, Kelvin breaks every rule to save her. The werewolf who once tormented her might be the only one who can teach her to survive. To claim her mate, Kiara must become the warrior no one believes she can be.
