Isabella unknowingly finds herself in the midst of two ancient werewolf packs, the Lycans and the Lunastra, who have been struggling to maintain an uneasy truce. This truce has been rooted for generations; only an arranged marriage between Sabatian, the current leader of the Lycan pack, and Elena, the current leader of the Lunastra pack can keep this balance. Isabella is now a threat to this truce as Sabatian falls in love with a human, leaving the very foundation of their packs in turmoil.
The stupid alarm woke me up from my deep sleep, followed by my mother's yanking. "You better get off that bed already; it's your first day at school, luv". Those words brought every bone and muscle in me back to life: "No way, how the f**k did I oversleep?".
"Mom, did you iron my uniforms?" I queried while rushing to the bathroom. It didn't take me much time to wash myself up, and I rushed down to take my breakfast before leaving. "Luv you, Mom," I said simultaneously, opening the door. "Isa" her mother called, her tone a warning. "Be a good girl," I chuckled, reassuring her with a nod.
My father died when I was 9, and since then we've been destitute. We had to relocate to Silverpalm, a town where I know no one. My mother would work her ass up just to fix us a hot plate. On the other hand, I did my part by studying hard to get this scholarship; if not, we wouldn't be able to pay for my tuition fees. I love my mother. I don't need her slouching because of me.
"Remember to keep it low," I said to myself on getting to the principal's office. "Principal's office." I read the sign on the door before knocking. "You must be Isabella," he said, wearing a fake smile on his face. "I am Mr. Edison. You're late to class already; why don't you go to your class first? I'll find you later" He said, shifting his attention to whatever it was he was doing before I walked in.
I pushed the wooden door to the class open, only to find everyone staring at me like I did something wrong. I got nervous, and at this point, all eyes were on me. "Geez, how am I going to walk to my seat?" I felt frozen to the ground. I was at the point of putting my sh*t together before I heard a voice, almost in a warning, "Can we continue with the study?" The teacher said that and continued talking without any response from the class.
I sat close to a girl with piercing eyes and blonde hair. She smiled at me, though; she seemed friendly, by the way. I clamped my hand to my desk, trying to join the ongoing teaching.
The chair next to me made a scraping noise. I knew someone was trying to come close to me. I shrugged, and out of curiosity, I realized it was the blonde-haired girl I was sitting next to. "Hello pretty. Ehhm, ok, my name is Amber, '' she said almost in a whisper.
"Hello to you too. I'm Isabella, but you can call me Isa". I replied, trying to push my guts not to exaggerate.
The teacher concluded his teaching. "Read up page 12 for the next class," he said, wrapping his books. "So, I was thinking you could join us for the party; I mean, everyone is going to be there, most likely".
"Well, I'm sorry, I don't know anywhere around here; I'm just new in town, if you must know," I replied.
It was Amber. I said those words, remembering my mother's warning. I scanned around the class to acquaint myself with the faces around me.
That was when I found him staring at me. I mean the dark-haired guy with piercing blue eyes.
He looks calm and gentle yet, his presence commanding. "Gosh... I mean he's so hot". At that moment nothing else did matter to me. I came back to my real self in a second. I mean I wouldn't have done that, like the normal me would frown at that.
I quickly turned my gaze away so as not to be noticed by him.

With the fate of their homeland hanging in the balance, they confront their deepest fears and unlock their full potential.
"Miss Brown, I am the butler here at your service," the butler replied. "My master wants to buy the baby in your belly." "What?!" Does that mean the abortion didn't take place?
