Lena left as a quiet girl in love. Now she returns as the storm that will tear their legacy apart. After years abroad, she was supposed to come back to a warm welcome, to rekindle a connection with her long-time crush, Alex. But instead, she finds him gone—imprisoned, betrayed, and erased by the person he had given everything up for. The culprits? Alpha Lucas and Alpha Liam—the same twins praised as the future of the pack—and their ever-glowing Luna, Lily. In Moonshine College, where only the most prestigious werewolves are allowed to walk the halls, she steps into the shadows with fire in her heart and her twin brother Ethan by her side. Lily glows at the bottom of it all. But what glows… can burn. This time, she didn’t come to fall in love. She came to get revenge for her Alpha.
View MoreLena couldn’t help but smile as she leaned against the cool window of the car.
The air outside was fresh and clean, the familiar scent of pine trees and the distant mountains filling her senses as they sped down the winding roads toward the mansion. It had been two long years since she had left for Europe to study. Two years of living without seeing Alex, the boy who had filled her every thought. She was finally coming home, and everything felt like it was falling into place. Her twin brother, Ethan, sat in the front seat, his expression a mixture of boredom and smugness. He had never liked leaving their home, especially not for college. It was always about business for him, and their father’s donations to the prestigious Moonshine College had ensured they would be admitted there. “You’re really excited to see him, huh?” Ethan asked, his voice laced with amusement. Lena’s heart skipped a beat. “Alex?” She grinned. “Of course I am. I haven’t seen him in so long. I mean, he was always around back then, but now… well, I can finally tell him how I feel.” She gazed out the window again, her thoughts drifting to the last time she had seen Alex. He had been so distant when she left—so wrapped up in the drama with the Alpha twins and Lily. She had left before she could sort out everything that was happening. Ethan huffed, his gaze narrowing on the road ahead. “Well, we’ll be at Moonshine soon enough. Can’t say I’m thrilled about it though. I don’t get why we couldn’t just start as freshmen. Our father practically owns the place now with his donations. We’re basically walking into a crowd full of Alphas, Lunas, and their pack members. It’s going to be a mess.” Lena laughed softly, feeling the excitement rising in her chest again. “You’re just mad because you’ll have to deal with actual students for once instead of your usual business meetings and private circles. And come on, it’s Moonshine College! It’s going to be amazing! All those wolves who are destined for greatness… and now we’re part of it.” Ethan grumbled under his breath. Lena’s face softened, her eyes full of longing. “Alex has been through a lot. You know that, right? The pack... everything that happened while I was away... I tried to reach out to him, but he never responded. I don’t know what happened between him and the Alpha twins, but I want to see him.” Her brother turned back to look at her with a raised eyebrow, his expression unreadable. As they got closer the mansion, Lena’s heart raced. The car pulled up to the grand entrance, and the butler was already there waiting for them. He opened the door and greeted them with a polite nod. “Welcome home, Ms. Lena, Master Ethan.” Lena smiled at the butler, grateful to be back in the familiar surroundings. “It’s good to be home,” she said as she stepped out, feeling the cool air rush past her. Her excitement was palpable. She couldn’t wait to see Alex. “I can’t believe we’re finally back,” Lena said, her eyes shining with anticipation as they walked into the mansion. “I’ve missed everything here—the pack, the grounds... and especially Alex. He’s going to be shocked to see me again, don’t you think?” Ethan smirked again, crossing his arms. “If you think Alex will care, you’re delusional. But whatever. I don’t care either way.” He dropped his tone, his eyes narrowing. “But it’s probably best not to get too attached to any of this. We’re here for Moonshine College, not to hang out with someone who’s still stuck in the past.” Lena shot him a glare. “You don’t understand,” she muttered. “I have to tell him I love him. I can’t keep pretending that I don’t care about him.” She couldn’t stop talking, her words tumbling out in a rush. “I have to tell him that I’ve loved him for so long, that even while I was studying abroad, I couldn’t stop thinking about him. He’s been through so much, and I need him to know I’m here for him.” As they entered the main living room, the large flat-screen television flickered on, the news anchor’s voice cutting through the room. “Breaking news tonight: Alex, the exchange student that entered the pack two years ago, has been convinced for his involvement in a high-profile case endangering the lives of the Alpha twins and their Luna, Lily…” Lena froze. Her heart dropped into her stomach as the words echoed in her mind. She took a step forward, her eyes glued to the screen. The footage showed Alex, his face gaunt and weary, handcuffed as he was led into a courthouse. His once proud, confident demeanor had been replaced with an expression of sorrow. The news anchor continued, “The wolf council found Alex guilty of endangering the lives of the Alpha twins and their Luna, Lily. After a long and grueling trial, he was sentenced to life in prison.” Lena’s breath hitched in her throat, and she felt a rush of confusion, disbelief, and grief. “No… this can’t be real,” she whispered, staring at the screen in horror. “Alex… how could he...?” Ethan, standing beside her, was equally stunned, his voice tight with shock. “What the hell? I—I don’t understand. Alex would never do something like that.” The butler, who had been standing silently by the door, finally spoke, his tone heavy with the weight of the truth. “I’m afraid it is true, Ms. Lena. Alex betrayed his pack and endangered the Alpha twins and Luna Lily. After a thorough investigation, the wolf council found him guilty and sentenced him.” Lena shook her head violently, her anger building as tears welled up in her eyes. Her hands clenched into fists at her sides. “Lily…” she spat the name, her voice dripping with venom. “She did this. She must have… she’s the one who’s behind all of this. I won’t let her get away with it. I won’t let Alex rot in prison because of her lies.” Ethan’s face hardened. “You want revenge, don’t you?” Lena nodded slowly, a dark fire igniting in her chest. “Yes. And I will make sure she pays. I’ll make sure the Alpha twins pay too.” Ethan smiled coldly, his earlier indifference replaced by a gleam in his eyes. “Then let’s make them regret ever crossing Alex.” And so, with vengeance in their hearts, they turned to face a future that promised nothing less than war.The Alpha room, normally a place of strength and authority, felt tense. Lucas and Liam sat across from each other in the large room, the silence between them almost suffocating. Lucas ran a hand through his dark, tousled hair, his eyes narrowed, staring at nothing in particular. His posture was rigid, a reflection of the conflict brewing inside him. Beside him, Liam was no better—his jaw clenched, his eyes fixed on the floor as he processed the events of the day.It had been hours since their altercation with Ethan, yet the anger still bubbled beneath the surface. “I should have done more,” Lucas muttered, his voice low but tinged with frustration. He was usually the calm one, but Ethan’s insolence had tested his patience beyond its limits. His thoughts were consumed with images of Lily, struggling in the grip of that man, the arrogance in Ethan’s every word.Liam sighed, leaning back in his chair, his arms crossed over his chest. “I know, but if we went too far… it would have
The late afternoon sun spilled golden light through the tall windows of the dorm room, casting gentle shadows on the hardwood floor. Inside, Lily, Maya, and Graham were gathered in their room.Maya sat comfortably straddling Graham’s lap, her arms loosely around his neck. He had one arm draped across her waist, the other holding a book he had long abandoned in favor of listening to the conversation Lily had launched into the moment she shut the door.“I mean, can you believe him?” Lily said, throwing her hands up in frustration. “Touching me without my permission, smirking like a devil, and speaking like I should be flattered! Who the hell does he think he is?”Graham raised a brow, but it was Maya who replied first, her expression stormy. “He’s trouble, that’s who. There’s something not right about that guy. It’s not just arrogance. It’s... off. There’s danger beneath the surface.”Lily began pacing, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. “I tried to handle it myself, okay? I w
The small, dimly lit dorm room smelled faintly of antiseptic and blood, with a sterile undertone that didn’t quite hide the auroma of violence. The yellow lamp on the desk flickered every few seconds, casting broken shadows across the walls. A cold breeze slipped in through the open window, stirring the tension in the air and making the thin curtains dance like restless spirits.Ethan sat tiredly in the expensive chair, his legs spread carelessly, one hand resting on his thigh while the other draped limply over the backrest. His face was a patchwork of bruises and dried blood, but he wore the damage like armor, his smirk smug and unfazed.Lena stood in front of him, her eyes narrowed, lips pressed in a thin line. Her fingers dabbed harshly at the cut on his cheek with a cotton pad soaked in disinfectant. The sharp sting made his muscles twitch, but he didn’t flinch. He just smiled.“Idiot,” she muttered, pressing harder than necessary, as if she wanted the disinfectant to sting
The air in the lecture hall was unusually tense, even before the incident unfolded. But thus time, every breath being drawn in felt more like stone.The room, once filled with young wolves preparing for future leadership roles, that had buzzed with low chatter and the sound of pens against notebooks with the occasional murmurs of students exchanging notes was beginning to feel like a place that was too constricted.However none of that mattered to Lily.She was painfully aware of the hand resting on her arm.Ethan.He was too close—close enough that she could feel his breath against her skin, could smell the faint mix of spice and arrogance that always clung to him. He leaned toward her, whispering something she didn’t even register. All she could focus on was the possessive grip on her arm and the fire growing in her chest.She could feel the eyes of her mates staring at then with anger.Across the room, Lucas and Liam stood side by side at the edge of the hall, their eyes fixed f
Lily tapped away at the keyboard of her laptop, her fingers moving with practiced ease as she furiously took notes during her Werewolf History class. It was her second week on campus, and she was already adjusting to the pace of being a student at Moonshine College. She didn’t mind being a sophomore in a class full of juniors and seniors, and she was actually enjoying her time here.The professor was talking about the origins of the first Werewolf Packs, their alliances with the moon goddess, and the rise of Alpha bloodlines. Lily had always been a history freak, and the study of werewolf history had been one of the most interesting subjects she had ever encountered. She was so immersed in her notes that she almost didn’t notice the door opening.A loud voice echoed through the classroom, disrupting the flow of the lecture. "My bad, professor," the voice said with a distinct, unapologetic tone.Lily’s head snapped up, and for a moment, her eyes locked onto the door. Her breath c
The soft hum of Ethan’s car was the only sound in the quiet parking lot behind Moonshine College’s north dormitory building. There was silence until Lena’s heels clicked confidently against the pavement.Leaning casually against the driver’s side door, Ethan scrolled through his phone, his thumb flicking without interest. He didn’t look up, didn’t need to. He felt her approach like a shift in the air—calculated, precise, cool with a hint of fire.“You’re late,” he said flatly, his voice a mix of boredom and expectation.Lena smirked. “I brought cupcakes,” she announced with mock cheer. “The kind that make girls like Lily think you’re their best friend.”Ethan finally looked up, his eyes scanning her face like a book he already knew the ending to. One brow arched lazily. “Were they poisoned?”She let out a soft laugh and leaned in closer, her perfume laced with something floral and sharp.“Please. That kind of death would be a mercy. I would rather watch her unravel slowly, emoti
