My name is Lila Bennett. Two months ago I turned eighteen and I was officially considered an adult. For most teenagers turning 18 means freedom and finally reaching the age where your parents begin to hand the reigns of life over to you. For me, turning eighteen meant something entirely different. My birthday signified the day I was no longer a ward of the state of New Jersey, I was no longer an orphaned child given up by my unknown parents, and I was now considered an adult. Some people may think being considered an adult is great, but for me it meant I was no longer able to guarantee a place for me to rest my head at night. The most recent director at the group home I was placed in said I could stay until my bed was needed. With the turnover rate at most group homes, I knew that promise of a bed would not last long. Fantastic. Fortunately, my boss was giving me the opportunity of a lifetime up in Andromeda Bay, NY. This small town in the middle of the forest could be my only way to a better life. Hopefully I can finally find my happiness.

Cover by @auroralust Available on Goodreads under this title. Every year, wolves of age from around the country attend their Placing Tournament, the one thing that can single handedly make or break your future. In this tournament, you are either a decided, undecided, or intended. Decided is for those who know what they want, undecided is for those who don't, and intended is for those who have no choice. French-born Althea Lavois is ready. She's just turned 18 and ready to take the medical world by storm, leaving behind her parents with a dream of Sanitatem, Pack of Healing. Until she meets her mate, Orion Westbrooke, an intended and the next Alpha of Vindex, the pack of warriors. Accepting Orion means throwing away her dream, so what's a girl to do? Lie, of course. ------------------- I had no idea whether or not he had followed me, or seen which building I went into. I would need to be careful, I knew for a fact that he was just on the floor above me. No one could know, not even my parents. I was not giving up my dreams just because I had found my mate. Not a chance. I knew he would make me. I could tell. But either way, I didn't want to take the chance. Everything hit me at once. I had found my mate. He was the next Alpha of the Vindex Pack, And I had practically just rejected him. Shit. ------------
