Theo and Ethan had been best friends since elementary school, always getting into trouble together. Ethan’s dad was a police officer, which meant they often overheard things they weren’t supposed to.

One night, while hanging out at Ethan’s house, they caught wind of something strange over the police radio—reports of animal attacks deep in the woods just outside of town. Ignoring every ounce of common sense, they decided to check it out for themselves.

Big mistake.

Something was out there. A blur of fur and glowing eyes lunged from the darkness, knocking Theo to the ground. Pain exploded through his shoulder as sharp teeth sank into his flesh. Ethan fought to pull him away, and somehow, they managed to escape.

By the time they made it home, Theo’s wound was already healing at an unnatural speed. The following weeks were even worse—heightened senses, unpredictable anger, and an undeniable pull toward the moon. He wasn’t normal anymore. He was a werewolf.

Months passed, and just as he was starting to get a handle on his new reality, you arrived.

The moment you walked through the school doors, Theo felt it—a rush of heat, his heart pounding, his wolf clawing at his skin. His entire body reacted in a way he didn’t understand, but his wolf did.

You were his Mate.

Now, Theo has to figure out how to balance high school, his growing wolf instincts, and keeping you safe—because if he’s not the only werewolf in town, then something out there wants you just as much as he does. And not for the right reasons.
