SAMANTHA CARTERMy heart stopped the moment those words left Alpha Blackwood's mouth."Then you will be killed."The sentence echoed inside my head again and again until every other sound around me disappeared. My throat tightened, and I couldn't even remember how to breathe. My fingers curled into trembling fists at my sides, yet I forced myself to remain standing.The Council Hall, which had been silent only moments ago, suddenly erupted into loud voices."She's an abomination!""The Moon Goddess has never made four mates!""She should be executed before disaster follows!""No! If the Goddess chose her, then killing her would be defying the Moon herself!"The arguments collided from every direction, making my head pound, while I stood in the middle of the chamber feeling less like a person and more like a criminal being judged for a crime I didn't even know I had committed.I hadn't asked for any of this. I hadn't asked to come to Nightshade Academy. I hadn't asked to be

SAMANTHA'S POV“Samantha, come with me; we need to talk,” Vex said with a cold voice, as she walked past me toward a side corridor, clearly expecting me to follow.I stood there for a moment, considering my options, as I stared at the four alphas who were still staring at me. I didn't hesitate anymore and followed her.Her office was at the top of the west tower. Circular room, windows on all sides, bookshelves stuffed with ancient texts that looked like they would crumble if I breathed on them.A massive desk dominated the center, covered in papers and maps and something that looked like a family tree."Sit," Vex said, pointing her hand to the chair opposite hers. I sat without any hesitation."Tell me about your family, Miss Carter." She said, taking her seat as well, with her gaze fixed on me fully now.I swallowed the lump that had formed in my throat as I stared at her. My palms were becoming sweaty already."Ma'am, I'm human, and I already told you, my parents are human, and tha

SAMANTHA'S POVIt was finally time for the initiation, and I just walked into the crescent moon.The Crescent Moon Hall was a circular room carved directly into the bedrock beneath the Academy, with walls that looked less like stone and more like dried blood.In the center, a slab of black rock shaped like a crescent moon, and above it, a glass ceiling that showed the sky just beginning to darken, the first hints of red bleeding into the clouds.There were maybe forty first-years in the chamber, and all of them were wolves, and they were all watching me.I felt their eyes like hands on my skin, measuring and weighing, deciding whether I was prey or just pathetic.Principal Vex stood at the head of the room, next to the Crescent Stone. She raised her hand, and the chamber went silent before she began."Tonight, you shed your first blood on Nightshade ground, and tonight, the Moon Goddess sees you, and she decides if you are worthy to be here or not." She spoke, her voice soft but firm.

SAMANTHA'S POVWe entered a dormitory, and she stopped suddenly and faced me, making my heart skip a beat.Everything about the lady frightens me, and I don't seem to understand why.“This is your dormitory,” she announced, with a cold voice.“You can unpack here,” she added coldly as she turned around and walked towards the door.“Remember, you are to report to the Crescent Chamber at 7 PM; the blood moon initiation, mandatory for all first years, will be taking place there,” she said with all seriousness.“Failure to attend will lead to forfeiture of enrollment,” she added, her voice low now as she moved closer to the door."Also remember to bring your own blade, human,” she blurted out coldly; her last word made me feel a chill run down my spine.What was she going to do with the blade she had requested that I bring alone? This question rang in my head, as panic started kicking in.The lady was already gone, so I made my way towards my bed.I sat on the edge of the bed and pulled o

Chapter 1SAMANTHA'S POVToday was the day I never saw coming. I didn't know how to react right now because I knew what I was getting into even though I didn't want to.Getting a scholarship into Nightshade Academy has always been my parents' dream, even though I was just a mere human without scent.When I got the letter, I didn't want to come here knowing that I might be the only human in the academy, but my parents were so happy, so I just couldn't just tell them I didn't want to go and ruin their happiness.I thought as I pressed my forehead against the cold window of the driving bus and watched the trees close in like teeth.The ancient oaks had trunks wider than my entire apartment back home and branches twisted into shapes that looked less like nature and more like warning signs.The kind of dark that didn't just hide things it breathed."You're blocking the view," I heard someone mutter behind me, making me sigh softly, realizing what she was trying to do.I didn't bother to mo
