I walked into my boyfriend's dorm to surprise him, but the sounds coming from inside shattered my soul before I even opened the door.

"God, Jace, right there!" My best friend’s voice. The girl I trusted with my life. My hand trembled on the doorknob, but I had to know. I pushed it open. Lila was straddling him, her head thrown back in ecstasy, riding the boy who swore he loved me. They didn't even stop when they saw me. They just... kept going.

I ran. I ran until my lungs burned, only to find my world destroyed again. My parents—the Alpha King and Queen—slaughtered in our own castle. Blood everywhere. And just like that, I was an orphan. A "wolfless" freak with nothing left.

I transferred to Keane College to hide, to survive. But I didn't expect Him. Calix Hawthorne. The Alpha’s son. The most dangerous wolf on campus. When our eyes met, my wolf screamed one word: MATE. But he looked at me with cold, dead eyes and walked away.

Now, I’m the target of the school’s queen bee. They put wolfsbane in my shoes, burning the skin off my feet while the whole school laughed. I am broken, bleeding, and alone. But they forgot one thing: Even a broken wolf has teeth.
