Evelyn Cross has spent her entire life in hiding. Born a rogue, she has no pack, no home, and no allies—only her mother, who has drilled into her the importance of staying unnoticed. But everything changes when her mother is killed by a ruthless Alpha, leaving Evelyn alone and vulnerable.
Forced to infiltrate the prestigious Silver fang Academy—a school exclusively for young werewolves of high-ranking bloodlines—Evelyn must pretend to be an Alpha heir to survive. But her secret is dangerous. Rogues are hated. They are seen as traitors, lawless, and expendable. If anyone discovers what she really is, she will be hunted down.
Enter Lucian Blackwood—the future Alpha of the most powerful pack in the region. Cold, untouchable, and devastatingly handsome, Lucian is a legend at the academy. He’s also the only one who sees through Evelyn’s carefully crafted lies. But instead of exposing her, he makes her a deal: Be my fake mate for the rest of the year, and I’ll keep your secret.
Trapped in a game of deception and desire, Evelyn soon realizes Lucian is hiding secrets of his own—ones that could change everything she thought she knew about rogues, packs, and the true nature of their world.
But when the truth about her past starts unraveling, Evelyn must decide: will she continue running, or will she embrace the monster inside her and fight for the future she never thought she could have?
