The story puts a very interesting spin on the the "unknowing outsider claimed by a stranger to be a mate" theme common in many paranormal shifter romances.  The combination of the petulance of youth and the fear of basically being kidnapped and dropped into a powerful stranger's world to yields an intriguing, novel approach to the "suddenly a werewolf mate" plotline.  As enjoyable as I found the first 3/4ths of the story, I must say I found the ending to be rather surprising and disconcerting.  The characteristics displayed by a main character did not seem to jive at all in my mind with the leadership role he is projected to one day take. When the rather bratty and temperamental antics of the rebellious youngster were revealed as promising characteristics of a future Alpha (and not acting out by a scared, overwhelmed youth), my interest in reading future installments dropped considerably.
