Great Start!

"I think there is important social commentary laced into this story, the werewolf packs' views and arguments against gay mating reflect what we see spewed by right-wing media in our current society. In that way, I think stories like these are super important. I would say I'm not sure I'm the audience for this book since it's more geared toward a teenage audience (since the characters - I think, although it's never really stated - are in their early teens), so I'll do my best to review thinking of what I would have thought of it when I was that age. The writing itself is good, although the story moves pretty fast and you give a lot away about the plot in the summary - I'd be a little more vague just to leave some room for the reader to figure things out as it goes along. And, SPOILERS, I also would have liked to seen some more courtship between Thea and Cam before deciding to run away. I think a good trope in any romance is forbidden romance and sneaking around to see each other, so you had a great opportunity to build some tension there. When Thea and Cam are separated, it's not as emotional as it could be because the emotional stakes haven't been raised, the reader isn't as invested in their relationship as they could be. I'd give it a few chapters before separating them, that way it'd pack a much bigger punch. In general, I think that is the main issue I see with this is the pacing. Things need to be slowed down a lot more, really allow time for events to unfold, conversations to be had, emotions to play out. Let us form our own opinions on characters rather than being told "he's an asshole" - instead, give us a few scenes where he's an ass, that way, we're learning more about him and not only does the character hate him, we do too. As far as the positives, I think you have a great plot on your hands. It follows a great romance trope with enough uniqueness to give it some flair. Your characters are interesting, and I've never seen non-shifting in a werewolf story before (granted, I haven't read a lot in a while despite me writing them lol) so that's interesting. I also think grammatically/technically, there weren't any glaring errors besides having long periods of text with no dialogue tags, which can make it hard to keep up with who is talking, so that would be something to fix. Overall, though - Good job!"
