Two years ago, Lou Goossens and Marius De Saeger played young lovers in Young Hearts, a film that made them both rising stars. In real life, they were just best friends-until their on-screen romance made things... complicated. They drifted apart after the film, but now, they're back together, starring in Arena 16, a gritty dystopian action movie.

At first, it's easy to fall back into old rhythms-laughing between takes, late-night chats, teasing each other like nothing ever changed. But for Lou, something has changed. He's always been sure of who he is, never questioned himself. Until now. Until Marius.

As rehearsals turn into stolen moments and on-screen chemistry bleeds into real life, Lou starts to realize the feelings he's been pushing down aren't going away. But Marius is just being Marius-charming, easygoing, completely unaware of the storm brewing inside Lou.

With the film's premiere approaching and the world watching their every move, Lou is stuck between two choices: tell Marius the truth and risk everything, or bury his feelings and pretend nothing's changed.

But love isn't a script you can rewrite. And sometimes, the hardest part isn't falling-it's figuring out what comes next.

"No!" I say softy, choking back tears that were threatening to pour out. "It just can't be!" I say with my hands by head, squeezing my eyes as if it was all a nightmare that would be over soon. The words escape my lips in a louder tone than what I intended and with more anger, earning a blood curling growl that made me stagger back with fear. I feel my knees shake with dread as the words rush out of his mouth in another growl. "Mine!" He shouts before making his way over to me. The second he's a hand's distance away, he reaches out and grabs a handful of my hair -not caring of the tears that were raining down my cheeks- making me tilt my head back, and plants his fierce dominant kiss upon my sweet and naive lips. 16 year old Nora Faith, youngest of 4 and only daughter the of SilverRose Pack, grows more and more desperate as her 17th birthday is just around the corner and is unsuccessful after several months of searching for her Mate. They say when you turn 16, you can identify your Mate by their scent and by your own wolf. Then like a fairytale, they shower you with their love, kiss you whenever you want, mark you as their equal and so on. Short, simple and easy. But unfortunately for Nora, when you have 3 protective Alphas as your older brothers. hovering over you 24/7 like a hawk, and preventing you exploring the world, it doesn't get any easier. 20 year old Alpha Damon Romano is slowly loosing his humanity by waiting for his Mate for far too long. For him taking the position of being an Alpha at the mere age of 14 of the largest pack in North America because of his parents unexpected and tragic death, makes him the youngest Alpha ever. He considers that all male Mates should be dominant over their females and he wishes to set it as a rule by applying it to his darling Mate. Cold, Cruel, Heartless, Savage, Sinister? Surely the Moon Goddess would've made a mistake because everyone knows that pleasing the heartless alpha ain't no child's work.
