Alpine Crescent Academy

After losing her parents, a date with her boyfriend goes terribly wrong when she finds her boyfriend cheating on her with a werewolf. He forces a bite on her, and 18-year old Layla Gibbous is forcefully removed from everything she once held dear and is tossed into a new life at a school for the wolves of the night, Alpine Crescent Academy. As she learns more about her new abilities, she feels like she is being watched from the shadows. When she keeps running into a mysterious and devilishly handsome man comes on campus, Layla can't help but get close to him. If he is the one in the shadows - is he here to protect her or hurt her? At the academy, she is taught more about the history and the two warring factions of wolves: Nestati and Vosak. Can she stay out of the fight? Or is something more at work here, like fate?

Enduring hell

The tears that are running down my face splash across my palms positioned on the ground below me, smearing the blood and the dirt that is on my skin. I lean back and sit on my feet, rocking slightly back and forth as I stare at my hands. 

He's gone, and I am hollow. 

"I can't," I sob to myself. 

This isn't right. Ryker has family, school to complete and a pack to look after. There is more he needs to do. It isn't his time. 

Someone took him from this world and from me, just like the other students that were found on campus. 

I can't lose anyone else. Not after just finding him, someone I care for, and not after losing my parents. Not after losing my human life and all that I once loved. I am just starting to find meaning in the world I found myself now in, and I can't lose any piece of it.

I clutch my chest, feeling the emptiness inside of me where there should be a bond to Ryker. 

"I can't," and I won't. I can fix this.
