Malik is a beta starting his first day at St. Francis Academy, a prestigious school he earned entrance to through a program meant to give opportunities to the less fortunate. Malik can't help but feel like an outsider amongst the mostly white, rich alpha population of the school. When he meets Dylan, an alpha with a reputation for being aggressive and arrogant, it's not the best first impression. But Malik soon discovers that there is more to Dylan than meets the eye. He has a secret that he will do anything to keep Malik from spreading. Meanwhile, Malik's friendship with Carlos, a charming and confident alpha in the same program as him, is growing stronger. But as he learns more about Carlos, Malik realizes that he is hiding dangerous secrets of his own. Despite their differences, Malik finds himself drawn to both Dylan and Carlos. In the end, Malik, Dylan, and Carlos must decide whether their love for each other is worth the risks they must take to be together. Will they be able to overcome the obstacles in their path, or will they be forced to choose between their hearts and what society expects of them? *Wattpad exclusive* Chapter 1-3 published: Apr 4 2023
