Trust is a luxury. Betrayal is a requirement. $30 million is the prize. ""50,000 applied. 100 were chosen. Only one will leave with $30 million." ​The message appeared on the giant screen above the room, glowing in cold white letters. A hundred contestants stood below it, silent. ​Some looked excited. Some looked terrified. Some were already studying everyone around them like predators waiting for the hunt to begin. ​Cameras were everywhere. Hidden in the corners. Embedded in the walls. Watching. Recording. Judging. ​A voice echoed through the massive hall, calm and controlled. ​"Welcome... to Final Selection." ​The contestants exchanged glances. No one knew who was speaking. No one knew where the voice came from. But everyone knew one thing: someone was watching. Someone powerful. Someone rich enough to offer thirty million dollars to a complete stranger. ​The voice continued. "You were chosen from fifty thousand applicants around the world. Only the most interesting candidates were selected." ​A pause. ​"You are now the final one hundred." ​A nervous laugh escaped from somewhere in the crowd. Someone else swallowed hard. Because suddenly the prize didn't feel exciting anymore. It felt dangerous. ​"Over the next weeks," the voice continued, "you will compete in a series of challenges." ​The screen behind them changed. Numbers began counting down. ​100. 90. 50. ​The voice finished its sentence. "Each round, contestants will be eliminated." ​The number on the screen dropped again. ​1. ​A ripple of unease spread through the room. ​"Trust is optional." "Betrayal is expected." ​And then the voice said the one thing that made the room fall completely silent. ​"Only one of you will leave with the $30 million." ​The doors behind them slammed shut. Locked. ​The game had begun......

"Being invisible was my plan... until he claimed me." In Lunar Crest Academy, power isn't given-it's claimed. I thought I could stay invisible, slipping through the halls unnoticed, relying on my scholarship and careful ways. I was wrong. He found me. Marcus Kane. Alpha. Dominant. Feared. Magnetic. From the moment his gaze locked on me, nothing felt safe-or normal-again. Every heartbeat, every shiver, every instinct I tried to hide... he could see it. And he claimed it. One night. One slip of paper. One impossible pull I couldn't resist. I should have run. I didn't. At Lunar Crest, some marks aren't given... they're taken. And from the moment he called me "mine," I realized I didn't want to escape. Will I survive being marked by the Alpha-or will I succumb to what he's awakened inside me?
