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.

What shamelessness! An author reviewing his own work? —some reader probably. Well, this may be a biased review but I hope you stick with me on this one. This book is a spirit contestant in the virtual reality section... and what better way to depict virtual reality than showing something that we humans know and have?! That's right, dreams... lucid dreams. A dream where you can bend the wills of reality and you can be whatever you want. That's what a lucid dream is. If you have experienced it, then you're one of the chosen ones! I'm kidding ahaha. I remember, the first thing I did when I had a lucid dream was master the ability of flight and remodeled the world by filling it with zombies and having a fight to the death with them. What are your lucid dream experiences? Share them in the comments and I'll gladly talk about lucid dreams with you hehe :) This book is a representation of my wish to the future. I know that games are advancing too much these days we typically already have the means to have a VRMMORPG, but accessing lucid dreams is still a far-fetched idea. However! That' what novels are for, and that's why I'm writing this book where everything can be a reality— in your lucid dreams of course. To explain the concept, here are some pointers. — Character building at the first few chapters so no catchy fight scenes yet — It may be confusing and may seem like a mishmash of genres but they all vortex to a single point in the story. In other words, everything in this book is connected so there will be no plot holes left unturned. — Backstories wouldn't be shown just yet! — And the last selling point... IT'S LUCID DREAMS! Who doesn't want that? And that's all for my shameless review. I hope you give this novel a try and I hope you enjoy your stay in the Lucid Dream Server :)
