Elsa was never supposed to be a problem. As the only daughter of the North Ridge Alpha, her future was simple: choose a mate, marry young, and secure the pack. But at 19, Elsa wanted more than a wedding and pups. She wanted freedom. So when her father lined up every eligible werewolf in the territory and she felt nothing — not even a spark — she said no. Big mistake. Furious, her father exiled her. Not home. Not to another pack. To _Blackthorn Academy_. A boarding school for the world’s most dangerous and "stubborn" creatures. Vampires. Witches. Hybrids. Fae. And wolves who didn’t know how to obey. It was supposed to break her. Instead, it woke her up. For the first time, Elsa saw the truth. Everything her pack taught her about other species was a lie. She made friends — a fire-wielding witch and a sharp-tongued fairy who had her back when Rikka and her clique tried to destroy her. She learned to fight, to rule, and to stop believing that love was anything but weakness. After all, love got her mother killed. But Blackthorn had one more secret. Him. Kael. The son of the rival Alpha. The heir to the pack that started the war that took her mother. A cold, infuriating playboy who collected hearts and broke them. The one person she was supposed to hate most. Revenge was the plan. Ruin him. Use him. Make him pay. It didn’t go as planned. Because in her second year, in the middle of chaos, blood, and full moons, they fell. Hard. And now their mating bond is threatening to start another war. Two Alphas. Two enemies. One impossible bond. If their parents find out, both parks will burn. Elsa came to Blackthorn to become stronger. She didn’t expect to come out... _claimed_.*Will she choose revenge, or the one rival she was never supposed to love?*
