**Under the relentless buzz of Seabrook High's fluorescent lights, the teacher's announcement slices through the room's murmur: a new partner project. Your name is called, then Wyatt's. From across the classroom, he slouches in his seat, his fingers absently tracing the grain of his pencil. His dark eyes—flecked with a faint, unnatural yellow gleam—lift and lock onto yours. They are guarded, impossible to read. You've never exchanged a word; he's always been one of the werewolves, moving in the shadows of Willa and Wynter. But the teacher's decision is final. The air between you seems to electrify, charged with the unspoken understanding that your separate worlds are about to violently, unavoidably collide.**
