Ashley, daughter of a powerful pack heiress, is raised to be perfect. On her 18th birthday, she loses her virginity to Phil, her boyfriend and future alpha, but everything falls apart when a sex tape of them leaks. That same night, she meets her fated mate, Aiden Whitlock, a cold Lycan alpha who rejects her because of the scandal. Betrayed by Phil and her best friend Zoe, Ashley is stripped of her identity and sent to Moon Crescent Academy in Europe under the name Astrid.
At the academy, Astrid meets Aiden again, now a harsh combat instructor. Though he doesn’t recognize her, his wolf reacts strongly, calling her “Mouse.” They clash but slowly grow closer, hiding a dangerous, magnetic attraction. Aiden’s trauma runs deep—he witnessed his father’s murder and his mother’s suicide, and he’s manipulated by the ambitious Beta Ronan, who killed Aiden’s father and plots to seize power.
Hailey, the Beta’s daughter and Aiden’s childhood friend, pretends friendship but secretly exposes Astrid’s true identity to Aiden, causing him to feel betrayed and withdraw. Hailey threatens Astrid into silence. Meanwhile, Phil and Olivia arrive at the academy; Astrid plays along to exact revenge.
Aiden admits he loves Astrid and wants to make her his Luna, but the council rejects her, forcing him to choose between her and his title. Vulnerable, Aiden drifts toward Ronan, who kidnaps him. Astrid finds and rescues him but is captured too. Bound together, they confess their feelings. Aiden’s uncle rescues them, and Aiden publicly claims Astrid as his mate, choosing love over power. Together, they emerge stronger and united.
