They had been friends-best friends, in fact. Then lovers. And now? Now they're nothing. Not even a dramatic, messy something. Just nothing.
Theadora Zachary spent her prime time covered in motor oil at her dad's car shop, elbow-deep in engines and existential dread. At least she had Samuel Uley, her ultimate, irreplaceable, ride-or-die best friend (who, unfortunately, had eyes and used them exclusively on her).
Samuel, meanwhile, spent his best hours staring at his boss's daughter like she personally hung the moon and wired his entire nervous system. No shame. No subtlety. As it should be.
But then-whoops-his genetic werewolf curse kicks in first, making him the reluctant leader of an ever-growing, furry teenage militia. Fun times.
The cost? Oh, just his entire heart and soul. Theadora Zachary-his lifeline, his constant, his reason-might not be his at all.
Because, see, there's this little thing called imprinting, where soulmates are pre-assigned like some kind of divine Pokémon trading system, and his biggest, ugliest, crippling fear?
She's not his.
