Academy

Raine Ashford was born into legacy...trained from birth to become the perfect Beta for the Night Thorn Pack’s future Alpha, Jason. She was taught to be strong, but never stronger than him. To lead, but only in his shadow. To serve, not shine. But on her eighteenth birthday, everything changed. When the mate bond snapped into place, it wasn't joy she felt...it was humiliation. Jason, the very Alpha she was molded for, rejected her in front of the entire academy. Her wolf, Raven, shattered in the silence that followed, retreating deep within her. Returning to the academy broken but determined, Raine finds herself caught in another unexpected moment...a desperate kiss to save face… with none other than Alpha Drake, the academy's golden boy. Powerful. Untouchable. Dangerous. And now, completely obsessed. He wasn’t supposed to care. But he does. And he’s not letting her go. What happens when the girl built to stand behind the wrong Alpha finds the strength to stand beside the right one?

Rayne Valen is determined to prove that being born the daughter of an Alpha doesn’t mean she can’t lead her pack. Disguised as a boy, she enrolls in Blackmoon Academy, an elite training ground for future Alphas, with a single goal in mind: to claim her birthright. But what she didn’t expect was Lucian Wolfe—an Alpha so powerful, so magnetic, that even the toughest recruits are intimidated by him. When fate forces them into close quarters as roommates, Rayne’s resolve is tested. Lucian’s presence is impossible to ignore, and his keen instincts seem to be uncovering secrets Rayne is desperate to keep hidden. But as the tension between them escalates, so does the undeniable attraction they share. Now, Rayne must navigate the dangerous balance between proving her worth as an Alpha, keeping her identity a secret, and fighting the pull of a forbidden attraction that could destroy everything she’s worked for.
