Can Aleksi and Seth manage to find happiness by mating the enemy?

This is a fascinating unique story of the paranormal. It has shifters, psy, and mystics. I love this world and journey this story takes. It’s adventure from the very beginning and I can’t wait for more.
Narrator Gavin McAllister does a fabulous job.
Sanji Kin –
Plot: Seth and Aleksi’s instalove, prologue to longer saga spanning multiple books of shifters warring against ability users called psy (assuming short for psychic) in order to save humankind and the world
Feels: Couldn’t really connect with either MC
Drama: Considering Seth is running away from his psy family (a family focused on world domination) and Aleksi is an enemy shifter…tons
Heat: 2/5
Characters: There are no references to A/B/O specifications often found in other shifter stories, but there were quite a few instances of Aleksi treating Seth as ‘lesser’ or needing protection, to which Seth reacts like a ruffled porcupine, apologies happen, and repeat
Pacing: ok
Length: short
Ending: HEA for Seth and Aleksi (following books cover different couples), HFN for backstory
Performance: Good solid narration

I adore the Fated Mates trope so I was eager to read this fast and thought-to-be-no-brainer book.
But wow, it was bad: the writing, the characters, sh!t not making sense…
