Defy The Alpha(s)
Two centuries after the Great War, peace between humans and werewolves was finally achieved, or so everyone believes. Werewolves reign like gods, and humans remain blissfully unaware of their true place in the new world order.
To maintain this fragile balance, each year, a handful of "lucky" humans are selected from various districts to attend Lunaris Academy, a prestigious institution that promises glory, status, and a chance to mingle with the elite. Those chosen are hailed as the lucky few, destined to marry powerful alphas and rise as luna.
This year, Violet Purple is among the chosen, much to everyone's surprise. For an orphaned girl adopted by a disgraced prostitute, this is a golden ticket to a better life or so she's told. But Lunaris Academy isn’t the paradise it’s painted to be.
Everything Violet and her fellow humans have been taught is a lie. Humans are far from equal; they're pawns in a much larger game. The academy is nothing but a gilded cage, and the students are lambs led to slaughter, playthings for the alphas to toy with in their ruthless games.
To make matters worse, Violet catches the attention of the most dangerous players in this game, the Terror Four: the Alpha of the North, Alpha of the South, Alpha of the East, and Alpha of the West. Each one is more dangerous, more twisted, and more powerful than the last. But even among themselves, the alphas are divided, each with their own deadly ambitions.
Yet, they all have their eyes on her.
They expect Violet to play along, to fall in line like the others who worship at their feet, to break under their games. But Violet isn’t like the others. She refuses to bow. She’ll defy them all.

I like this story, I really do, even though I think some things are really, really forced. Like Braavos kneeling to the MC so easily, or the rapid expansion of the Dragon Empire. Valyria is the richest empire with more than 100 dragons, and being 5 thousand years old it has not managed to dominate all the people of Essos. And the MC seems to achieve this in a very short time. Not to mention that it would be impossible for the MC's children to keep the cities under their control permanently, they would be murdered at the first opportunity, after all they are still human beings of flesh and blood. And if the MC were to go around destroying all the cities that murdered their children, soon the MC's allies would turn against him, and try to murder him. Not to mention that in the books, shortly after Daenerys left Yunkai and Astapor, the cities were conquered by others, and returned to slavery. So much so that in the books she has a lot of problems in Meereen, and was almost murdered. Dragons are the most powerful weapon in the known world, but they are not invincible. House Targaryen at its height was unable to conquer Dorne through wars, Dorne and even managed to kill Meraxes. The only way I see them having such an easy conquest by their dragons is if all their dragons were on steroids like Drogon in the series, and had the defense of the dragons in the books. But I can still see the knights being murdered right after taking the cities. PS: Yes, I know this is a fanfic, and I'm not supposed to take it too seriously, this is for fun. But I wanted to see the protagonist have more difficulty conquering things, and not just getting there and everyone surrendering. I can't buy the idea of cities not fighting, and not ending up killing some dragons in the process, a bunch of angry civilians have already managed to kill dragons, imagine an entire continent wanting these animals' heads.
