Yorick Hill is the second son of retired Alpha Warren and Luna Yara. His brother took over the pack two years ago and Yorick finds himself without a place in the pack or world. In an effort to find his way, he applies to the elite Warrior Academy, a highly sought after school that trains warriors into elite fighting machines. Cyra Teymoori is an Alpha female caught in an arranged mate bond. Her father arranged the bond to solidify the alliance between her pack and the pack of her betrothed. She is unhappy about the arranged mate bond and tries to delay the inevitable by applying to the Warrior Academy where she was admitted. Neither her father nor her betrothed are happy about her choice, but neither is willing to look away from the prestige that comes from her acceptance. When Yorick enters the Academy, he expects the year to be difficult. What he doesn’t expect is to find his mate. At first, he’s thrilled, until he finds out that she’s expected to accept a chosen mate bond with a neighboring pack. Furious that his mate is being pressured to ignore their fated bond, Yorick tries to convince her that she should accept him. They can leave after they finish the Academy and find jobs together. He will look after her, even if it means accepting a handout from his brother to give her stability. But Cyra is hiding a secret, one that she’s unwilling to share with Yorick. What will happen when the secret comes out and the real reason for the alliance bond comes to light? Can Yorick prove to Cyra that he wants her because she was meant to be his?
It’s really hard to beat my love for Quirin… but wow, Yorick is giving him some serious competition 😍🔥 What a fantastic Alpha and man. He's got his dad (Waren) in him, but I see a little Quirin in him too.
Yorick’s journey has been packed with action, growth, and a few twists that made this such an enjoyable read. I absolutely LOVE the academy setting 🏫🐺, and his leading lady is everything I want in a heroine. Cyra is a strong female Alpha, and I cannot wait to see her kick some serious butt 💪👑 and fully grow into the leader I know she’s meant to be.
The side characters? Top. Notch. 👏 I’m already guessing (and hoping 🤞) who they’ll end up mated with. I’m really loving the direction Wendy is taking and am praying she ends up with Hacker. (Please no love triangle drama 😅🙏)
And can we talk about the Hill family?! 🥹 I am completely in love with them. I wish my own family was like this. Anyone lucky enough to be loved by a Hill is truly special 💕 I’ve adored every pairing and every journey we’ve been taken on so far.
Needless to say, I’m diving straight into Part 2 📖 I cannot wait to keep reading about Cyra and Yorick! Taking her pack from her dad, breaking that alliance bond, and kicking some general a** along the way 😈🔥
