Bound by Blood and Vengeance

Kyle Blackthorn has spent his entire life hidden away in the wilderness, raised by his parents to avoid the dangers of the human world. They taught him restraint—never to hunt humans, never to reveal his true nature, and above all, never to trust outsiders. But everything changes the night they are murdered. With nothing left but grief and unanswered questions, Kyle is forced to move to the city with his estranged grandfather, a man who believes werewolves should embrace their primal instincts rather than suppress them.

Thrown into a world he doesn’t understand, Kyle struggles to blend in at high school, where everything from lockers to social cues feels like a foreign language. His awkwardness earns him both curiosity and mockery—especially from Gabe, a cocky student whose offhand remark about werewolves shakes Kyle to his core. Did Gabe say it as a joke? Or does he know more than he should?

Then there’s Zara Sterling. Cold, sharp-tongued, and always keeping people at arm’s length, she wants nothing to do with Kyle. But their worlds collide when they’re paired for a school project. While she sees him as just another inconvenience, Kyle starts noticing things—like the bruises she tries to hide and the haunted look in her eyes. She’s keeping secrets, just like he is.

But Kyle isn’t the only one keeping an eye on Zara. Something lurks in the shadows. Something Fast, and scary to Zara but not to Kyle. Because he recognizes his kind even in the dark.

What happens if he gets involved? and what happens when he finds out his parent's killer is the parent to the girl he ever loved?
