Everyone at Aurelia University knows Lena Vale as the girl who never Bloomed. At eighteen, she failed to awaken her wolf, turning her into a joke among werewolves and a disappointment to her own family. She has learned to live with the whispers—until Kael Raven discovers that she is his mate. Kael is the future Alpha, powerful, respected, and completely out of her league. He should claim her. Instead, he rejects her. Lena tries to move on, determined to forget the boy who broke her heart. But something inside her begins to change. Strange dreams. Unexplainable instincts. A voice that whispers her name. Nyx. The more Lena learns, the more she realizes her failed Bloom may have never been a failure at all. Someone buried the truth about what she is. And now, whatever was buried inside Lena is beginning to wake up. Kael may have rejected his mate. But when the truth finally comes out, he may be the one begging her not to leave. Because the girl everyone thought was wolfless may be the most dangerous secret their world has ever buried.
