When an ancient prophecy ties her bloodline to unimaginable power, Everest must navigate a labyrinth of treachery, forsaken monsters, and a bond that feels more like a curse than a blessing. As dark forces rise, Finn struggles to confront his demons and accept the love he doesn’t think he deserves, even as Everest’s magic becomes the wolves’ last hope for survival. But their fragile connection is tested when a vengeful monster of legend emerges from the shadows, hellbent on annihilating their kind. With the clock ticking, Everest must embrace her destiny, heal what has been broken, and decide if love is worth risking everything—even her humanity. Bound by fate. Torn by fear. Will her light be enough to banish the darkness, or will the wolves be consumed by it forever?

Today I had my first kiss. It wasn’t planned. It was also with a complete stranger. As I walked through the crowded halls of Crestwood High, my heart light with excitement, I felt it before I saw it—a familiar presence, sharp and wrong. My boyfriend, Mark, was nearby and he wasn’t alone. “You’re a bad boy,” the cheerleader laughed softly. “Only for you,” Mark replied before his lips closed over hers. At that moment, I felt sick to my stomach. “Oh, Mark. Stop it. You know we can’t be seen together. What if your girlfriend finds us?” “She’s in class. She’s never late. You don’t need to worry.” My heart was heavy in my chest, but also a wave of fury and resentment crossed me. “Bethany?” Mark breathed, staring at me in shock “What are you—” Before he could get the entire question out, I turned to the gentleman beside me, placing my hands on his shoulders and pulling him toward me. He went easily, though his eyes showed nothing but confusion. I closed my eyes tightly so I wouldn’t have to see his expression any longer. Then, our lips touched. Later, I walked into my class but found,It was him… The man I kissed only moments ago in the hallway. The man I had given my first kiss to, was my professor.
