She was born to rule, but her world wanted a bride. So she vowed to become an Alpha.

Denied her birthright and promised to an unseen Alpha King, Jasmin Shadowbane refuses to be a pawn. On the eve of her betrothal, she vanishes, taking on the guise of a boy to infiltrate the Wolfborne Academy—a lethal proving ground where only male heirs are forged into leaders.

Her mission is simple: survive and win. But Max Greyson stands in her way.

Commanding, possessive, and with an unnerving ability to see through lies, Max is the academy’s top-ranked Alpha. He sees the new boy, “Evan,” as an immediate threat, a puzzle he’s desperate to solve. Something about him doesn’t add up, and Max will tear down every wall to expose the truth.

With her own body threatening to betray her and rival Alphas circling with obsessive desire, Jasmin is trapped. She must battle for her crown and her life… against the one man poised to shatter her future or own her entirely.

Both wolves turned their attention downward. The massive bison herd had scattered, leaving only one figure standing in the clearing below. Alpha Alonzo stared up at us with piercing intensity, his cold gaze unforgiving.


I recognized the danger immediately. I launched myself from the branch without hesitation, landing mere inches from Alpha Alonzo's imposing frame. My boots hit the ground with a soft thud.


"What was that, Alpha Evan?" His single raised eyebrow carried the weight of accusation. This marked the time the legendary Alpha had ever addressed me directly.


Every student at Wolfborne Academy knew the warning: encountering Alpha Alonzo meant facing something worse than death itself.
