THE ALPHA IS IN MY FRESHMAN YEAR!
She had three goals for her freshman year at Silver Leaf University: survive her classes, make her family proud, and absolutely not pass out when she saw the hottest Alpha in existence sitting three rows ahead of her. But she was failing at all three.
After centuries of endless wars, the werewolves finally found peace by forming The Union. Four packs were created under the new agreement: the Prime Pack to rule, the Iron Claw Pack to protect, the Silver Leaf Pack to heal, and the Golden Grain Pack to feed everyone. Each pack depended on the others for survival, and for the first time in their history, the wolves of the Union prospered.
Tansy Meadow was a Golden Grain Omega from a farming pack, which meant she was at the very bottom of the hierarchy. The Union might starve without her pack, but that did not stop anyone from looking down on her.
Elijah Zenith was the heir to the Prime Pack. He did not speak or interact with anyone except his beta. Even the professors were afraid of him. He walked through campus like he owned it, because one day he would. Tansy was supposed to be invisible. Keep her head down and study. She definitely was not supposed to catch the eye of the most powerful Alpha.
However, when a rival Alpha from the Iron Claw Pack transferred to their university, Tansy found herself caught in the middle of a pack rivalry she never asked for, and Elijah was not as cold as he pretended to be. His wolf had been watching her since day one, and he was about to break every rule in the book to protect her.
Welcome to freshman year. The Alpha is in your class, and he is not going anywhere.

Chapter: Chapter 4 TANSY'S POVCindy and I walk toward SLU. The sun is warm. The fields stretch out on either side. And a ridiculous grin spread across my face. I cannot stop smiling.The gates rise ahead of us. Tall and wrought iron, twisted into a crescent moon and a silver leaf. Beyond them, the campus spreads out like something from a painting.I stop walking. Cindy stops beside me. We stand there, staring. Old stone buildings with ivy climbing their walls. Tall arched windows catching the morning light. Wide green lawns, students walking in small groups in different coloured uniforms. A big statue of a leaf in the center of the courtyard, sorrounded by a fountain of water shimmering in the sun.I let out a breath I did not know I was holding.We pass through the gates. The cobblestone path is smooth beneath my feet. Students move around us carrying books. A few sit on the grass, laughing.While trying to figure out where to go, a girl approaches us. She has light brown skin and her hair is pulled

Chapter: Chapter 3ELIJAH'S POV The letter sits on my desk.I have been staring at it for the past hour. The Prime University crest stares back at me from the top of the page. The path my father chose for me before I was even born.My room is large and perfect. Dark wood furniture. A neatly made bed. Shelves lined with books. Tall windows looking out over Union Central, where the city's lights glow like a thousand tiny eyes watching me.I run a hand through my hair and let out a breath I did not realize I was holding.I hate it here.The house is grand but silent. Thick walls. High ceilings. Staff move through the halls without making a sound. Everyone speaks only when spoken to. Laughter is absent from these rooms. Everyone carries themselves with a strict seriousness. The carefully constructed order of the Zenith household, everything should be perfect!I am constantly watched and constantly judged. Every action must be perfect, because I am the heir, and there should be no room for mistakes.I look

Chapter: Chapter 2TANSY'S POVThe familiar shape of our farmhouse silhouetted against the moonlight appears. My heart swells at the sight of it. Home.I slow my pace as I approach the house, shifting back into my human form just before I reach the front door. My dress is slightly rumpled from the run, but I do not care. I am too excited.Before I can even knock, the door swings open."Tansy!" My mother, Nancy, stands in the doorway, her eyes red and swollen, tears still streaming down her cheeks. She pulls me into a hug so tight I can barely breathe. "My baby. My sweet girl. I am so proud of you.""Mom, I knew you would be crying," I say, laughing, hugging her back."I do not care, you are going to SLU!" She pulls back, cupping my face in her hands. "Silver Leaf University. My daughter. A healer."I feel the tears threatening to spill from my own eyes. "I know. I still cannot believe it."From inside the house, I hear a crash and a muffled curse. My father's voice calls out, "Coming, coming, I am comin

Chapter: Chapter 1TANSY'S POVLeander steps up to the microphone. The hall is so quiet I can hear the candles flickering in their chandeliers."Good evening, graduates."His voice is warm but commanding, the kind of voice that does not need to be loud to be heard. It fills the hall effortlessly, settling over the crowd like a blanket."Tonight, we celebrate you. Tonight, we celebrate the future of the Union."He pauses, his gaze sweeping across the hall."Each of you standing here tonight has earned this moment. You have studied, you have grown, you have proven yourselves worthy of the next step in your journey. Whether you come from the Prime Pack, the Iron Claw Pack, the Golden Grain Pack, the Silver Leaf Pack, or the Ember-Born, you are all wolves of the Union. And tonight, you are all equals."A murmur ripples through the crowd. Equals. I have never heard anyone say that before."Tonight is not about where you come from. It is about where you are going. Your university selection letters will tell y

Chapter: PROLOGUEFor many years the werewolves had been fighting amongst each other to secure land and ensure the survival of their packs. After endless wars, the werewolves decided to come together and form THE UNION.Under the new agreement, four packs were created and assigned different duties. The Prime Pack is in charge of governance, lawmaking, and administration. They ensure the Union remains stable, create policies, and mediate disputes between packs. They are the ruling authority, the heart of the Union's leadership. Their colors are blue and white, and their symbol is a Crowned Wolf.The Iron Claw Pack showcased massive strength and were put to security, defense, and military training. They protect the Union's borders, train warriors, manufacture weapons, and station members in every pack to ensure safety. They are the Union's shield and sword. Their colors are red and black, and their symbol is Silver Claw Marks. These are three parallel gashes that represent the pack's strength, precision,

CLAIMED BY MY SWORN ENEMY ALPHA
Aria Sinclair was born to lead. Daughter of the Silverwood Alpha, trained to fight since she could walk, she's spent eighteen years proving she doesn't need a wolf to be the deadliest warrior in her pack. What she's never proven is that she has one at all.
Damian Blackthorn doesn't lose control. Not to his enemies, not to his court, and never, never to his wolf. As alpha of the North's most feared pack, his grip on himself is the only thing that's kept his people alive since he took the title too young and too alone.
Neither of them saw the mate bond coming.
One scent of her blood on a battlefield that should have ended in her death instead ends in a mark neither of them chose, binding Aria to the one wolf her pack has hunted for generations, and Damian to the daughter of the enemy that destroyed his family's name a hundred years ago.
Now she's a prisoner in a pack house that wants her dead, he's engaged to a woman his pack expects him to marry, and somewhere behind them both, an old lie is waiting to come apart. One that could either burn both packs to the ground, or finally set them free.
Fate doesn't ask permission. It just marks you and waits.

Chapter: Chapter 5: NorthThe pain in my leg had gone strange and distant, drowned out by something louder that I did not have a name for yet.He was carrying me. The Blackthorn alpha, the man whose wolf had just torn out his own guard's throat over me, was carrying me north through the trees like I weighed nothing at all, and every part of my training was screaming at me to fight while some other part of my body, some part I did not recognize and did not trust, had gone quiet and strangely still against his chest."Put me down." My voice came out rougher than I wanted. "Put me down, or I swear to every god either of our packs believes in, I will make you regret it."He did not answer. He did not even slow down.I tried anyway. I got one arm free and drove my elbow back into his ribs as hard as the angle allowed, which was not very hard at all given the way he held me, but it was something, and he grunted like it had actually cost him effort to ignore it."Stop that," he said. His voice was low and rough, like

Chapter: Chapter 4: The MarkI had not meant to go to the crossing myself.Corin had it handled, or should have. Twenty guards, a straightforward toll dispute, nothing that required the alpha's personal attention, and I had told myself as much three separate times that morning while I dressed and told Voss I was riding out anyway. He had not argued. He rarely did when my mind was made up, though the look he gave me said plainly enough that he thought I was wasting a morning on a fight beneath me.I told myself I wanted to see the eastern road with my own eyes before autumn made travel harder. That was true, as far as it went. It was not the whole truth. Some restless thread under my skin had been pulling toward that valley since the moment Corin's scouts reported Silverwood's unit was riding out, and I had learned a long time ago not to argue with Kade when he got like this, even when I could not explain why.We reached the tree line above the valley just as the fighting started below.I watched from the ridge fo

Chapter: Chapter 3: The Valley RoadWe left Silverwood at first light, the way my father wanted, with the mist still sitting low over the fields and the whole pack too smart to come out and watch us go. Send-offs were for weddings and funerals, not border patrols. I preferred it that way. I did not need an audience for this one.Torren rode beside me, Garrick just behind, and six others strung out in a loose line that would tighten the moment we crossed into contested ground. The eastern road ran two days out from the pack house before it touched the disputed stretch, and I spent most of that first day going over the terrain in my head instead of talking, which Torren eventually noticed and decided to comment on."You're quiet.""I'm thinking.""About the mission, or about Kellan's face when you left without saying goodbye properly?""About the mission." That was mostly true. Kellan had come to see us off before dawn, standing at the stable door with his arms crossed and an expression he was trying very hard to make loo

Chapter: Chapter 2: The Weight of the TitleI had not lost control of anything in eleven years, and I intended to keep it that way through this meeting too."The eastern road again," Voss said, dropping the report on the table like it disgusted him. He was my Beta, and Selene's father, and he had opinions about everything, most of them correct, which made him useful and exhausting in roughly equal measure."Silverwood is sending a unit. Word from our scouts says they mean to hold the crossing and escort their caravan through by force if they have to.""Let them try." That was Corin, my Head of Guard, cracking his knuckles like he was already looking forward to it."That's not strategy, that's appetite," I said, and he had the sense to look chastened.I stood at the head of the war table in a room that had been my father's, and his father's before him, and felt, as I always did in this room, the particular weight of a title I had taken eleven years too early. I was seventeen when my father died and the pack looked to me instead

Chapter: Chapter 1: Eighteen and WolflessThe training ring smelled like blood and frost, which was exactly how I liked my mornings."Again," I said, and did not wait for Torren to catch his breath before I came at him.He was bigger than me by half a foot and probably sixty pounds of muscle, and he still hit the packed dirt with a grunt that echoed off the ring's stone walls. I planted a boot lightly against his sternum, more courtesy than threat, and offered him a hand up."You're pulling your hits low again," I told him. "You keep dropping your shoulder before you swing, so I know exactly where you're going before you get there.""Easy for you to say." He took my hand and let me haul him up, wincing. "Some of us actually feel it when we hit the ground."That got a laugh out of the row of trainees watching from the fence, and even out of Garrick, who almost never laughed during drills. I let myself smile. Small victories. It was the last day of formal training before my birthday, and if I was going to leave any lasting impr
