The Luna Games was a centuries-old tradition where unmated she-wolves pass various trials and fight each other to win the chance of being mated to a coveted Alpha. Many women enter, but few survive.
Alexus Beaumont of the Artemis Pack had a secret that no one knew. She had a crush on her godfather, Alpha Noah Harvey, for as long as she could remember. He was handsome, charismatic, funny, and kind, and he spoiled her any chance he got.
Alexus planned on confessing to Alpha Harvey once she turned 18, only to find out he had entered the Luna Games as the grand prize.
Devastated, Alexus entered the Luna Games at the last minute on the eve of her 18th birthday without her parents' knowledge.
At the ceremony, right before the clock strikes midnight, signaling the beginning of the game, he made eye contact with Alexus. Alpha Harvey attempted to stop the game when the signal was sounded. Their eyes widened as they stared at each other and the world around them fell away.
"Mate," they simultaneously whisper.
Alexus will have to fight to the death to be with her mate.
