Chelsea is only seventeen, but she's already gotten into her fair share of trouble -- breaking and entering and truancy, mostly. In a last-ditch effort to turn her from a criminal of the law to a straight-A student, her mother sends her to Greenwich Academy for Troubled girls, an all-girls school for troubled youth. Chelsea is reluctant to be there, but she plans on suffering through her final year and moving far away from her mother as she can. Things get a little more complicated when she learns she isn't the only one stuck in her ways, and when she learns about the school's mystery girl -- tall, dark, brooding, with an enigmatic past and strange haircut -- and then she walks in on her changing in the locker rooms... The rumors about her are vicious and cruel, and Chelsea has no idea why. Chelsea's final year of high school won't be as boring and predictable as she thought it would be. She'll just need to survive the drama, tears, fistfights, and finals for next ten months, and maybe find out a thing or two about mystery girl along the way.

Everything was gone. I sobbed, my clothes ripped and I was bleeding, but it didn't matter. I had to get to her, to them. Had to find- Struggling to stand, I grasped my side, biting back the scream that wanted to escape. I looked down at my hands and red coated them, blurring together until I couldn't see anything anymore. I squeezed my eyes shut, forcing my panicked breathing to slow, until I felt in control of myself again. It had been so long, I thought as I turned my peeling and dry face to the sun, my fingers shaking as I struggled to make sense of them. For so long, I'd been a wolf, cursed. All that I was, or could've been had been reduced to nothing but an animal driven by instinct, bloodlust, thousands of lives met their ends at the edges of my razor sharp claws. I had no idea where I was, how much time had passed. My fingers touched something hard in the sand, and a jolt of information went through me as Queen Azalea's sword, gleamed as I pulled it free. My heart started to pound as sun glinted off of the blade, reflecting back at me. I nearly dropped the metal when I saw myself. I took a second look and saw white hair, caked with dirt, and yellow eyes, blue veins sparking in their depths. All at once, I remembered who I was. I remembered why I was here, how much time had passed. I am Azalea Marie Albescu, The Queen Alpha. A false queen sits on my throne, controls what's mine. I would have to make my way back to my pack, my family, and my home, if still there. I would rise again, as I had before, and reclaim what belongs to me.
