"You smell fishy," Reed growled, looking me up and down with his deep ocean blue eyes, "I don't like that in a mate." My jaw dropped as I stared at my stupid mutt of a soulmate, not wanting to believe Mother Nature had paired me with this overgrown pomeranian.
"I'm allergic to fish," he continued running his mouth, distaste clear in his eyes as he looked me up and down, "so you'll have to fix yourself before we can be mates." His friends all started to guffaw amongst themselves, calling out encouraging words to their ringleader which only helped to add fuel to the fire burning inside me.
"First of all," I interrupted his friends, smirking when they all fell silent, "You have a foul mouth but I suppose that's to be expected from a mutt. Second of all, fuck you." And with that I flounced off in a flustered manner, wishing I could drown him in the deepest depths of the Pacific Ocean.
Harbour Neptune was like a fish out of water at Lupine Academy, world renowned school for the supernatural. After her sea slug of a step mother convinced her father to send her to a boarding school nowhere near a body of water, Harbour decides to raise hell at her new school, hoping to get expelled.
What she didn't expect was a certain cocky werewolf to bring her plans to a halt with his charmingly devilish ways. And she certainly didn't expect her step mother to hire a student to assassinate her.
With an evil stepmother who wants her dead, a group of drama-loving girls, a hidden schoolmate hired to kill her and a reluctant mate, will Harbour make it through the year?
A genetically unique but emotionally lost teenager must figure out who she is within her mixed-up, warring world of Shifters and Wolfstalkers.
*****
It wasn't Maddie's choice to be born a half-breed, half Shifter, half Wolfstalker -- a hunter of Shifters -- and it wasn't her choice to keep her identity a secret. But after trying to attend high school like any normal sixteen-year-old, things quickly spiral south when her Stalker uncle finds out about her and catapults her out of anonymity and into the awareness--or possibly the crosshairs--of The Order of the Wolfstalker. Maddie must think fast and figure out a way to keep herself and her family safe, or risk losing everything. Including her life.
