High princess of the fae I may be, but even that title feels out of place as I step into Moonfire Academy with a legacy as heavy as the old werewolf curse on my shoulders. Unlike my siblings who wandered the enchanted corridors of Bedlam Academy, my battleground is here—among the remnants of werewolves turned wolf fae. And let me tell you, the alpha-beta-omega gig? Still very much a thing here. Heat clinics, too. I waltz through the gates with Tai, my too-serious bodyguard who shadows my every move. He’s here to keep me safe, or so he says. I think he just enjoys watching me stir up trouble—which, by the way, I excel at. And, there might've been that fake-dating kiss we shared over the summer in Espero that blurred a few lines between us. The first thing I notice? At Moonfire Academy, power plays are the favorite sport, and I’m not just a player—I’m the prize everyone’s eyes are on. Thanks to my illustrious bloodline, every step I take is scrutinized, every alliance noted. It’s exhausting, but hey, if they want a show, I’ll give them one they can’t take their eyes off. Here, every decision could ignite old feuds or forge paths to unity. It’s a game of trust and power, and I’m right in the middle of it. Can I sail these dangerous waters without losing what makes me, me? Well, they say to keep your friends close and your enemies closer. At Moonfire Academy, it’s hard to tell the difference. But one thing's for sure—I'm Nova, and if they think they can tame me, they have another thing coming.
