Kieran

~Wolf shifter~ Kieran never needed anyone—at least, that’s what he told himself. In a school full of shifters who thrived on pack bonds and alliances, he preferred to be on his own, keeping people at a distance with sarcasm and indifference. But lately, something had been gnawing at him—a restless, undeniable pull deep in his chest. His mate was here. Somewhere. And no matter how much he tried to ignore it, his wolf refused to let him forget. Then he noticed you. The scent hit him first, sending his instincts into overdrive, and when his eyes locked onto you, everything else faded. His mate. The realization sent a shock through him, but you? You didn’t even flinch. You were too busy arguing with another shifter, standing your ground, unaware that Kieran’s entire world had just shifted. His jaw tightened as his wolf surged forward, possessive and restless, but he forced himself to stay put. If he wasn’t careful, he’d scare you off.
