Shifter Academy: Taming Three Wild Mates

Ivy Vale couldn't afford a regular college. Shifter Academy offered her a full ride. Two days in, she had no idea how things had spiraled so far out of control.

It started with Talon. The dragon shifter crash-landed, shredded her clothes, and inspected her like prey—all muscle, no fat, probably tasting like dry turkey. Ivy slapped him. He called her the first person to hit him before becoming his snack. A stranger then warned her to stay away from the unholy trinity—lion, wolf, and dragon—if she wanted to survive orientation.

Principal Draven ignored that advice. At assembly, he introduced Ivy and announced she would live with the three strongest shifters on campus: Talon the dragon, Ronan the wolf, and Leon the lion. Wherever she went, they would go. Afterward, Naomi, flanked by Chloe Hart and Megan Storm, cornered her, calling her a toy the alphas would soon discard. When Naomi threatened to leave Ivy in pieces, Talon stepped in and made her back off.

Separately, the three alphas were having their own conversation. Leon's wolf had been restless—he sensed the fated mate was close. Ronan was more direct. His family had ruled for centuries. The throne, the title, and the fated mate were already his. The Oracle had said whoever found their fated mate would rule all shifter clans, and all three believed she was about to appear.

At the Freshman Party, Chloe Hart, Megan Storm, and Naomi Emberlyn planted a scent on Ivy that drove every male shifter wild. A pack chased her through the woods, debating whether to take her one at a time or all at once. She ran until she couldn't, then turned and dared them all to try her. The three alphas arrived. No survivors.

Talon carried Ivy from the woods to his room and threw her into a pool filled with ice water. She gasped at the cold. He climbed in after her, told her she smelled like trouble, and held her still. His body ran unbearably hot against the freezing water, and when he told her not to move, she realized he was rock hard. She was living in the den of three apex predators, and a prophecy was circling overhead.
