LOGINZara Night is tired of being the academy's biggest failure. As the only werewolf who can't shift, she's stuck cleaning classrooms while elite students like Kai Storm train for a war she doesn't understand. But when students start disappearing and Zara begins having impossible dreams of flying through space and devouring entire packs, she realizes her biggest weakness might be her greatest weapon. Kai Storm has one mission: earn the werewolves' trust, then lead them to slaughter. But falling for the academy's "broken" omega wasn't part of the plan. As his alien programming fights his growing humanity, Kai must choose between his creators and the girl who's about to become the most powerful being in the universe. When Zara discovers that Earth's werewolves are being bred as soldiers for an alien empire, and that everyone she trusts has been lying to her, she'll have to embrace the monster inside her to save not just her world, but reality itself. Some secrets are worth killing for. Others are worth dying for. But some secrets can end everything.

The mop bucket clattered against the marble floor as Zara Night pushed it down the empty hallway of Shadowmere Academy.
At three in the morning, the elite werewolf school was finally quiet.
No more laughter echoing from the common rooms.
No more whispers about "the broken omega" who couldn't shift.
Zara squeezed the dirty water from her mop and sighed.
While other nineteen-year-olds were sleeping in comfortable dorm rooms, she was cleaning up their mess.
Again.
"This is pathetic," she muttered to herself, pushing a strand of black hair from her sweaty forehead.
"Even the other omegas can shift. What's wrong with me?"
She'd been asking herself that question for five years.
Five years since her parents dropped her off at Shadowmere Academy's gates and never looked back.
The academy claimed to prepare the strongest werewolves for leadership roles in modern society, but Zara knew the truth.
She was here because her pack didn't want her.
A broken omega who couldn't shift was worse than useless.
She was an embarrassment.
Zara pushed her bucket toward the computer lab, where tomorrow's elite students would learn advanced tactics for something called "The Final Hunt."
She'd heard whispers about it, some kind of important mission that only the strongest werewolves could handle.
Not that anyone would ever explain it to her.
The computer lab door was already open.
Strange.
Professor Hayes always locked it after classes.
Zara flicked on the lights and gasped.
Every computer in the room was destroyed.
Screens cracked, keyboards smashed, cables ripped from the walls.
It looked like someone had taken a baseball bat to everything.
"Great," she groaned.
"They'll probably blame me for this."
She started sweeping up the broken glass, careful not to cut herself.
As she worked, something caught her eye.
One computer in the back corner looked different.
The screen was dark, but it wasn't cracked like the others.
In fact, it looked completely untouched.
Zara walked over to investigate.
The computer looked normal enough, but when she got closer, she noticed something odd.
The screen had a faint crack running down the middle, but it was perfectly straight.
Too perfect.
Like someone had drawn a line with a ruler.
"What the hell?" she whispered, reaching out to touch the crack.
The moment her finger made contact with the screen, everything changed.
The computer hummed to life, its screen blazing with brilliant blue light.
But instead of the normal login screen, symbols appeared.
Strange, flowing symbols that looked nothing like any language Zara had ever seen.
Yet somehow, impossibly, she understood them.
HARVEST PROTOCOL ACTIVATED
SUBJECT IDENTIFICATION: INCOMPLETE
SCANNING...
Zara jerked her hand back, but the screen kept glowing.
More symbols appeared, scrolling faster now.
GENETIC MARKERS: ANOMALOUS
POWER CLASSIFICATION: UNKNOWN
RECOMMENDATION: IMMEDIATE EXTRACTION
"What is this?" Zara breathed, her heart pounding.
The symbols made no sense, but she understood every word.
How was that possible?
A new message flashed on the screen:
WARNING: UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS DETECTED
INITIATING SECURITY PROTOCOLS
The screen went black.
Then, slowly, the crack down the middle began to glow with the same blue light.
Zara realized it wasn't a crack at all.
It was some kind of scanner.
Before she could move, footsteps echoed in the hallway.
Someone was coming.
Zara grabbed her mop and bucket and rushed toward the door, her mind racing.
What had she just seen?
What did those symbols mean?
And why could she understand them when she'd never seen anything like them before?
The footsteps got closer.
Zara quickly turned off the lights and slipped out of the computer lab, pulling the door shut behind her.
She hurried down the hallway, trying to look like she was just doing her job.
But she couldn't shake the feeling that everything had just changed.
The symbols on that screen weren't from any human technology she knew.
They looked... alien.
And they'd been scanning her.
As Zara pushed her bucket toward the basement stairs, she didn't notice the security camera in the corner following her movement.
Its red light pulsed once, twice, then began transmitting data to coordinates far beyond Earth's atmosphere.
The hunt was about to begin.
Kai’s POVThe stench of blood still flowed in the hallway.Not the usual scent of wild hunt but something sharp, metallic and so wrong. It clung deep into the walls even long after Zara had left.I should have followed her. Watched where she was going or heck! even stopped her and just hugged her tightly.I should have said something to ease that look in her face when she asked that question."What happened after I left you last night?"I shouldn't have just said that she had been wiped. I should have given her a good enough reason but no. I let the silence hang in the air. Tension building up within my core.Now I stood alone in the dim lit corridor. My pulse wasn't racing, it was too steady for someone who had just witnessed a werewolf being killed and sucked off all his powers. This calmness only happened when the other side of me took control.I turned around the corner and found him. He smelt like her first kill. They always had a scent. His body was still warm. His eyes were ope
Zara’s POV I could still feel the hum of the hidden room vibrating in my bones even after the screen had gone black. I still remember how my reflection had started at me and my own response to that, wide-eyed and trembling as sweat beaded down my temple. The room was still dark, and for a few seconds, I couldn't move. I squinted my eyes to adjust to the darkness."If only you had returned to your room." I heard my inner voice say to me.But this wasn't the time to be throwing around what's ifs or what I should have done blames. I could still recall the holographic image of my younger self."Why couldn't I remember that aspect of my childhood?" I asked myself silently.I was still afraid that maybe someone or something could be in laying in waiting for me in the dark."Trust no one, not even me." I remembered Kai's words to me as he told me to return to my room.“Begin phase two.” Dr. Voss had said.What phase?And why had I been there? Much younger, like a child who belonged in that
Zara’s POVThe footsteps seemed so close, and my heart began to sound loudly. I was pretty sure that whoever was coming towards the garden could hear it.The footsteps outside the garden were quick, steady, deliberate, echoing alongside the night side owls like a countdown waiting to get hold of us doing a bad thing.I suddenly remembered Kai's presence when his hand brushed against mine. That contact was one thing I hated and, at the same time, seemed to like.He whispered gently, "We have to move."I nodded in affirmation as we both slipped behind a flowering tree just as two figures emerged from the dark. Their academy uniforms are now replaced by black long coats that stopped at their knees. I could recognize one of the men who seemed to act like patrol members, Mr Lorn, Dr. Voss's assistant. His voice was quite low, but Kai seemed to pick up a few things as he repeated his words judiciously.“Voss wants Subject N-13 relocated by morning,”I froze at that information.Subject N-13
Zara's POV Zara couldn't sleep.Every time she closed her eyes, she saw those multiple wolf heads staring back at her from the window. What was she? What had she become during that ceremony? At midnight, she gave up trying to rest and slipped out of her basement room. The academy was quiet, but not empty.She could hear movement in the upper floors, probably students sneaking around after curfew. She'd almost made it to the main staircase when someone stepped out of the shadows. "You came," Kai said softly. Zara's heart jumped.She'd forgotten about his request to meet, but apparently her feet had remembered for her. "I couldn't sleep anyway," she said. Kai nodded toward a side door. "There's a garden behind the east wing. We can talk there without being overheard." As they walked through the empty corridors, Zara studied Kai's profile in the moonlight streaming through the windows. He looked tense, like he was carrying a weight too heavy for his shoulders.
