Zoe, an editor, mistakenly received Silas, a cold Maine Coon emotional support shifter she misused as a bedmate pet. She agreed to an exchange and brought home sweet clingy golden shifter Finn. Tormented by jealousy and fear of being abandoned, lab-bred Silas tricked Finn into swapping appearances. On a stormy night, Finn sacrificed himself to save Zoe in a car crash. Later, police uncovered the truth: the dead body was Finn, and Silas stole his identity.
