After being rejected by her husband and Alpha in front of half the werewolf world, Allison does the only thing left that makes sense- she walks away. Heartbroken but unbowed, she rebuilds from the ground up, turning her experience as a Luna into something new: Luna's Compass, a consultancy that fixes the messes other packs are too proud to admit they made. No attachments. No politics. No pity. But fate has a sense of humor. Her newest client, Gordon Hale, is a widowed Alpha raising three daughters and holding his pack together by sheer will. What starts as a six-month contract becomes something far more complicated- professionally, politically, and painfully personal. Between grief, politics, and the slow burn of something she swore she'd never feel again, Allison must learn that fate isn't about who you're tied to - It's about who you become when the bond breaks.

At their high school graduation, fifty-three students and their teacher are suddenly engulfed in a blinding light-summoned to another world on the brink of ruin. In this foreign kingdom teetering on the edge of collapse, they are hailed as the chosen heroes destined to stop a mysterious cult bent on reviving the Demon Lord. Granted powerful abilities, noble titles, and a grand mission, the students are thrust into a world of magic, monsters, and prophecy. But for me-Eiji Minato-this isn't a nightmare. It's everything I ever wished for. Quiet, distant, and disillusioned with my old life, I had always longed to escape into a world of fantasy-not to become a hero, but to live freely as an adventurer. To explore uncharted lands, delve into ancient ruins, and uncover forgotten magic. Now that wish has come true, and I refuse to be bound by a king's command or a destiny I never chose. While my classmates train as champions of fate, I turn my back on the crown and walk my own path-one of freedom, danger, and discovery. From treacherous dungeons to hidden villages, I travel a world brimming with secrets and forge bonds with people the so-called heroes ignore. But the world is far more complicated than the legends suggest-and as the dark organization draws closer to its goal, I may learn that even those who run from fate can't outrun the story forever.
