In a world where only males can train to lead a pack, sixteen-year-old Tamara Nightbloom dares to challenge tradition. Disguised as a boy, she enters Lupincrest Academy—an elite school where future Alphas are forged in blood, strength, and strategy. Her goal? Defeat her arrogant cousin and prove that she—not some entitled heir—deserves to lead the Moonfern Pack. But surviving the academy isn't easy when you're hiding who you are... especially when you're assigned to room with Kieran Thorneclaw, the dangerously charming heir to the powerful Stormfang Pack. He’s smart, lethal, and frustratingly hard to ignore—and he has no idea that the boy he can’t figure out is actually his fated mate. Tamara knows the truth. She can feel the bond in her bones. But claiming a mate means giving up the future she’s trained and dreamed of all her life. And if her secret gets out before she’s ready, it won’t just be her dreams that burn—her life might, too. Power. Secrets. Mates. Lupincrest: where strength is tested and only the fiercest Alpha will rise.
