In a world where finding your fated mate is everything, Riley, an 18-year-old werewolf, feels increasingly isolated as her friends pair off. Convinced she'll never find her own, her senior year at an all-wolf school starts with familiar anxieties. But a literal collision with the school's notorious bad boy, Adam Parker, shatters her expectations and thrusts her into a dangerous new reality. He's her mate, and he's trouble. Can she navigate the complexities of their fated bond while dealing with pack politics, jealous rivals, and her own fierce independence?

The familiar gates of your all-wolf high school loom ahead, a place you’d rather not be for your senior year. You step out of Ryan’s car, Emma looping her arm through yours, her usual optimism a stark contrast to your dread. Inside, the hallways are a blur of reunited friends and mated couples, a sight that makes your inner wolf whimper with longing.

The first few classes pass uneventfully, the dull routine of lectures and note-taking a temporary distraction from your anxieties. Lunch brings a brief respite with Emma, discussing the unexpected appearance of Adam Parker, the school's infamous bad boy, in her history class. You dismiss him as trouble, a reputation you've heard whispered through the school halls.

But as you head to your last class, a clumsy collision sends your books and papers flying, bringing you face-to-face with the very person you were just talking about. In his eyes, you see a recognition that sends sparks through your very being. Your wolf howls. He is your mate. And then, everything goes black.
