Defy The Alpha(s): Book1
Two centuries after the Great War, peace between humans and werewolves was finally achieved, or so everyone believes. Werewolves reign like gods, and humans remain blissfully unaware of their true place in the new world order.
To maintain this fragile balance, each year, a handful of "lucky" humans are selected from various districts to attend Lunaris Academy, a prestigious institution that promises glory, status, and a chance to mingle with the elite. Those chosen are hailed as the lucky few, destined to marry powerful alphas and rise as luna.
This year, Violet Purple is among the chosen, much to everyone's surprise. For an orphaned girl adopted by a disgraced prostitute, this is a golden ticket to a better life or so she's told. But Lunaris Academy isn’t the paradise it’s painted to be.
Everything Violet and her fellow humans have been taught is a lie. Humans are far from equal; they're pawns in a much larger game. The academy is nothing but a gilded cage, and the students are lambs led to slaughter, playthings for the alphas to toy with in their ruthless games.
To make matters worse, Violet catches the attention of the most dangerous players in this game, the Terror the Alpha of the North, Alpha of the South, Alpha of the East, and Alpha of the West. Each one is more dangerous, more twisted, and more powerful than the last. But even among themselves, the alphas are divided, each with their own deadly ambitions.
Yet, they all have their eyes on her.
They expect Violet to play along, to fall in line like the others who worship at their feet, to break under their games. But Violet isn’t like the others. She refuses to bow. She’ll defy them all.

3.5 -This was a book I got an awful AI add for that basically told that basically told the first half of the story in the first 2 minutes. Of course I had to find it online and read it.
Its full of typos and in huge need for an editor, but the story itself and the characters I LOVE.
The auther has posted all 650odd chapters of the story on her website. The chapters are short, so when I eventually finish this, it's probably the equivalent of 3 books. I'm at chapter 200 now, which I'm classing as one book (shes got 17 parts to this book on goodreads but theres no way I'm putting 17 entries on her for it).
In terms of writing style, I it's quite similar to Blood of Hercules, probably like zodiac academy too.
There were a few points where I was like... does the auther know where she is going with this, but there are some events that happen that fully glued me and kept me reading until 4am.
Will definitely finish it.

Not sure
So so far I get it and it's an interesting tale, but to be honest it's the cost that puts me of, not the first time I've read one of these the last one was in four parts which I paid for it was a good story, enjoyed it but was left with no ending and no way to find it except a website that was not in English or had any directions on how to get it in english, this story has ten or so parts to it and I would dearly love to know just how violet will win out in the end I'm not sure I want to spend the money to find out,and to be honest if the other parts are as short as he first on why splint it into so many parts, if it was one book at a reasonable price I would have paid for it. I've paid money for books by new and old authors but not this amount of money for one story by a new author to me. So although I enjoyed the story and would love to know what comes next I really can't justify the cost especially if I was to run into the same problem I had with the other one like this, it's a shame and do understand that the author needs to make money but there is just something about this and the website that doesn't sit right.

Disappointed
I never leave a review but it needs to be known that this is not a complete book and It pushes you to pay more than what an actual book is. Very disappointing.

it was okay
Pricey for a short read where nothing happened really. More descriptions and inner monologue than anything. Should have combined books.

A bit ambivalent about this one
I love the storyline, characters, and the setting. I'm just not a fan of authors that string things out between numerous books, that could be condensed. This first installment felt more like a novella than an actual novel. But did it get my attention? Yep. Am I somewhat obsessed? Also yes.
The setting: a post-apocalyptic environment after a "great war" between wolf shifters and humans. Both lost a lot of lives in this war, so they came to a somewhat uneasy peace. Unfortunately, the world never really fully recovered and some areas are pretty much decimated. Society is broken up into districts (Hunger games anyone?) and our purple-haired FMC, Violet (original *rolls eyes*) happens to live in the poorest of the districts, District #1. Where she's obviously bullied at school. She was found in a dumpster by a hooker, who ends up taking her in and raising her. Through a series of events, she is accepted into Lunaris Academy. A school for the rich and elite. A school that is comprised of both humans and shifters.
Of course there are hot MMCs who run the campus - and that includes the teachers and administrators as well. I did like that they all didn't just fall for our heroine immediately, in fact, some of them want nothing to do with her. That's where the GEM of this book comes alive. The sociopath named Asher. He is quite the manipulator - literally, as his gift is mind control. I'm actually getting a bit concerned for myself because all through my life, I go for the "good" guy, the sweet guy, the well-grounded guy. However lately, I seem to gravitate towards the "bad" boy. And Asher wrote the book on bad boy behavior. So why am I totally in love with this character? I don't know, but I love when he's "on screen."
There are some hints dropped so if you've read enough academy stories, you'll probably be able to figure out what's coming. One prediction I have, is that we're going to find out that Violet is really a supernatural being - of course the most powerful that ever lived - but was hidden in the worst district to protect her identity. Some evil entity will be after her, and it will require the help of all 4 of our Cardinal Alphas to protect her:
Asher - Wolf shifter with mind control powers (total sociopath, but an incredibly sexy one)
Roman - Wolf shifter with the ability to shift into any animal (complete man whore, but such a charming one)
Alaric - Wolf shifter with the ability to control the weather, lightning, electricity, etc (Shy, sweet, good guy)
Griffin - Wolf shifter with incredible strength
While all our alphas will play significant roles in the overarching storyline to come, I think Asher will be the main one. And I'm here for it.

I would probably give it a 3.5 but that's not because of the story. It's the editing/poor grammar. The actually story is probably a 5 so I went for a 4 overall.
I originally found this through Instagram and an AI ad and followed it over to Pocket FM where I will admit I was so involved I kept paying for it on there. I really liked that they had the visual video component. This series is called "Wolves of the Blood Moon" on there and I found it online also under the name "Alpha's Mark." I'm around chapter 456 online and that means I don't know exactly which book I am on, but over halfway because there are 800 chapters.
The editing wasn't great and the names changed between Pocket FM and the book by Glimmy. I actually like the names on Pocket FM better (Lila is Alice, Ivy is Hazel, Daisy is Lily, Patrick is Hudson Cooper, Micah's name is different, their beta's names are different, Queen Genevieve instead of Irene, etc.)
All that being said, this series is addictive and has crazy twists and turns. It has kept me up way past my bed time multiple nights and I keep going back to it as often as possible. It is a great story and the main characters are interesting and layered. I cannot wait to finish it!

Defy the Alpha(s) is a quick, fast-paced read that doesn’t try to be a literary masterpiece — and honestly, that’s okay. It’s fun, easy to get through, and entertaining enough to keep the pages turning.
While some elements are fairly predictable, the story still held my interest, especially when it comes to the world-building. I’m particularly curious to learn more about the Cardinal Alphas and the powers they possess, as well as Violet’s past — including the mystery surrounding her purple hair.
Even if I can make some educated guesses about where the series might go, I’m still interested in seeing it play out. This feels like a solid setup for what could become a very enjoyable series, especially if future books expand more on the lore and character histories.
Overall, this is a good pick if you’re looking for something fast, fun, and easy to read without heavy emotional investment.

There are 17 books in this series on Amazon Kindle. Or one huge book with 916 chapters on WebNovel app. I chose to read it on app, "paying" with adds for unlocking new chapters. Countless sleepless nights binge-reading - like most of the readers. Captivating, interesting, read it in one go. It ended with several cliffhanders, author plans to write several books, that would give some closure to the readers. I definately enjoyed reading it, though I doubt, I'll start another books in this series in the next months. To sleep-robbing. I have to give myself some time to recover.
