extended summary ~ disclaimer
As Theresa's seventeenth birthday is nearing, she discovers that she's cursed and has abilities far beyond any human comprehension. In order to protect herself and everyone around her, she must shield herself from those very people and lead a double life. Yet, she'd never planned for her persistent childhood friend to ever cause everything to come crashing down.
Embry Call was just trying to keep his people safe. When he turns into something of his nightmares, the resulting turmoil starts to take ahold of his life. He'd never counted on being completely duty-bound to the girl he loves and has no choice but to compensate when he's everything but ecstatic. Especially so, even, since she's hellbent on keeping her secrets close and him far apart.
