The world shifted under a silver moon.
It was a hundred years ago when the balance of power tipped. The werewolves, once myths and legends, stepped out of the shadows and revealed their true nature. They weren’t just beasts; they were strategists, warriors, and leaders. What humanity saw as an impossible threat became a reality that shattered the old order.
War followed.
The wolves fought with precision and brutality, tearing through human defenses with terrifying efficiency. Entire cities were reduced to rubble, their howls echoing through the night as a reminder of humanity's fragility. Millions perished in the chaos, and with no other option, humanity surrendered.
To stop the bloodshed, the Wolf-Human Accord was born. It was a treaty promising peace and coexistence—a fragile agreement that allowed humanity to live, but not as equals. The werewolves took control, claiming leadership over governments, industries, and education. They became the rulers of the world, leaving humans to survive on their terms.
The treaty itself was ironclad. It forbade open hostility between the species, ensuring that wolves and humans would share spaces like schools and workplaces. But in practice, it was a tool for domination. The werewolves rose to the top, their strength and cunning placing them in every position of power. Humans were left with the scraps, their role clear: serve, or be forgotten.
And at the top of this hierarchy was the Alpha, the ruler of all wolves and the most powerful being in the world. Rumor had it that a new Alpha had taken over recently, but I didn’t know their name. I didn’t care. Whoever they were, they had no bearing on my life.
My name is Julia Rose, and today, I’m starting at Full Moon College.
It’s the most prestigious school in the region, a place where the elite of both wolves and humans study. Only a handful of humans are admitted each year, chosen to maintain the illusion of equality. My uncle, a high-ranking officer in the human military, used his influence to get me in. I should feel lucky, but instead, all I feel is dread.
I snapped my laptop shut and slipped it into my bag, my reflection in the screen catching my eye. Chestnut hair framed a face that was pale and tense, brown eyes staring back with uncertainty.
“Julia!”
My aunt’s sharp voice broke through my thoughts.
The kitchen was small and cluttered, a sharp contrast to the sleek modern homes most wolves lived in. My aunt, Maria, stood by the counter, her arms crossed and her expression as sour as always.
“Make me tea,” she barked. “And don’t think going to that school makes you special. You’re just a charity case.”
“Yes, Aunt Maria,” I replied quietly, keeping my gaze down.
As I filled the kettle, she continued her rant. “If it weren’t for your uncle, you’d still be in that run-down public school. Do you even realize how lucky you are?”
I didn’t respond. Arguing with her was pointless. She’d made it clear from the day I moved in that I was nothing more than an inconvenience.
“Here’s your tea,” I said, placing the steaming cup on the table.
She waved me off dismissively. “Hurry up and leave. I don’t want to hear any complaints about you today.”
I grabbed my bag and left without another word, the screen door slamming shut behind me.
The campus of Full Moon College was overwhelming. Its towering buildings gleamed under the sunlight, a mix of old stone architecture and modern glass structures. Students milled about in small groups, their laughter and chatter filling the air.
Most of them were wolves.
They moved with an effortless grace, their confidence palpable. Their presence was magnetic, and even from a distance, you could tell who they were. The humans, scattered and subdued, were a stark contrast.
I clutched my schedule tightly, scanning for the principal’s office. The hallways were a blur of activity, and I felt completely out of place.
“Excuse me,” I said, stopping in front of a guy leaning against the wall. His silver hair caught the light, shimmering like spun moonlight. His striking blue eyes locked onto mine, a smirk playing on his lips.
“Lost, human?” he asked, his tone teasing.
“Uh, yeah,” I said, holding up my schedule. “Do you know where the principal’s office is?”
Before he could answer, a girl stepped into view. Her dark brown hair fell in perfect waves, and her golden eyes narrowed as she looked at me.
“Does he look like some sort of GPS?” she snapped. “Figure it out yourself.”
“Relax, Sarah,” the guy said, his smirk widening. “It’s just around the corner to the left. Oh it's Aiden. And you?“
“Julia. Thanks,” I muttered, walking away quickly.
The principal’s office was as intimidating as the rest of the school. Floor-to-ceiling windows let in harsh sunlight, illuminating a massive desk that dominated the room. The woman behind it looked up as I entered, her green eyes sharp and calculating.
“You’re Julia Rose?” she asked.
“Yes,” I said, stepping forward nervously.
She gestured to the chair in front of her. “Sit.”
I obeyed, gripping my bag tightly.
“You’re one of the few humans admitted this year,” she said, her tone clipped. “Lucky you.”
Her sarcasm was impossible to miss.
“Here’s your schedule and a map of the campus,” she continued, sliding the papers across the desk. “I suggest you keep up. Falling behind isn’t tolerated here, even for humans.”
“I’ll manage,” I said, forcing my voice to remain steady.
Her lips twitched into a faint smile, though it held no warmth. “We’ll see. Dismissed.”
Back in the hallway, the stares and whispers were relentless.
“Why is she here?”
“A human? In our school?”
“She won’t last a week.”
I clenched my fists, determined not to let them see how much their words stung.
“Hey, Julia!”
I turned to see the silver-haired guy again, leaning casually against a row of lockers. His smirk was back, but his blue eyes held something warmer this time.
“You found the office,” he teased.
“Yeah,” I replied, unsure why he was talking to me.
He stepped closer, his silver hair catching the light. “I like you already.”
“Thanks?” I asked, frowning.
“Of your courage,” he said. “Most humans wouldn’t dare step foot in this place.”
Before I could respond, Sarah appeared again, her glare cutting through the moment.
“Aiden,” she snapped, grabbing his arm. “We’re going to be late.”
He let her pull him away but glanced back at me over his shoulder. “See you around, Julia.”
I watched them disappear, my heart racing. Aiden was trouble, and I already had enough of that.
