The first time I heard about Alessandro Montero, it sounded less like an introduction and more like a warning. Football captain. Frat king. Campus obsession. Walking red flag. The kind of guy girls swear they hate and still show up to the party for. Umbrae Docent College was supposed to be my fresh start. New school. New city. New life. Instead, I landed in the middle of a campus full of rich people, beautiful liars, and way too many secrets. Especially Alessandro. Girls wanted him. Guys wanted to be him. Professors let him get away with things that should probably count as crimes. And for some reason, he kept looking at me like I had personally ruined his life. At first, I thought he was just arrogant. Then I noticed the way people moved around him. The way silence changed when he walked into a room. The way his friends watched me like they knew something I did not. Turns out, they did. Because Alessandro Montero is not just the king of campus. He is Alpha. And apparently— I am his mate. There is only one problem. He does not want me. I am human. I am inconvenient. I am everything his world was not built for. Too bad fate did not ask. And even worse? Eventually i find out, I am not as human as everyone thinks.
