We’ve got a fuck-or-die premise that rolls into bickering idiots-to-lovers (I wouldn’t go as far as to call it enemies or rivals because they’re on the same side, so the hate they have for one another is mostly hot air).
Nate’s internal monologue can get tedious at times. He’s giving unmedicated ADHD with the way he goes off track and loses focus. Not to mention the hyper unawareness to run his mouth without realizing it.
Ian, conversely, is very gruff and not liking to talk unless it’s to clapback at Nate. He’s a bit of a meathead but that’s just your typical werewolf stereotype. There’s several moments where he purposely uses advanced vocabulary to remind people he’s not dumb as a rock.
Together they are a mess, but it’s a mess that works. And with the way the plot needs them to learn to trust each other and work together, they find a functional groove.
