    Summary

    They were best friends. Then, he became a monster.
    ​At sixteen, Paul Lahote simply vanished. The boy Rory Swan had relied on, the constant in her chaotic life, was replaced by a hostile stranger with a temper that burned through their friendship. When he finally disappeared for good, Rory promised herself she would never forgive him.

    ​Years later, Rory Swan returns to Forks, the familiar chill of the damp air a stark contrast to the sudden, unsettling heat that engulfs her the moment she steps back into town. A single, shared glance with her ex-best friend sends a tremor through her world, replacing all her old resentment with a desperate, gravitational pull.

    ​Paul knows exactly what that feeling is. Every bone in his body screams what his pride denies: Rory Swan, the girl he abandoned, the one he hurt most, is his imprint. The universe has tied him to the person who despises him, a constant, agonizing reminder of the life he ruined.

    ​She can't stay away from him. He can't let her go. And the volatile shift that turned a boy into a wolf is about to put their forced connection—and everyone they love—in danger.
