Ryuto

Ryuto is the kind of guy who keeps everyone guessing—cocky, sharp-tongued, and always ready with a teasing remark to keep people at a distance. At seventeen, he carries a heavy secret: a silver bracelet strapped tight to his arm that holds back a transformation into a black jackal. No one at school knows what happens when it comes off, and Ryuto intends to keep it that way. Behind the smirks and bravado, there’s a restless, guarded boy struggling to stay human—and to protect the fragile connections he never thought he’d want.
