Excerpts: 

Excerpt 1:
There was a time when I lived for the pack, when I would do anything to save my people. The white wolves were slowly reducing in number, and now everyone was desperate, struggling to make ends meet before we were wiped into extinction. I was twenty-four years old, and a daughter of the Northern pack alpha. It was my duty to continue my lineage. The only problem was, there were no other unmated alphas around other than my best friend, Sebastian, and the supreme douche, Kade Whitemore.

There was no way in hell I was going to alliance myself with that rat bastard. He was alpha of the Yukon pack, violent, and an overbearing ass who’d rather see me on my back with my legs spread open than being his equal. I’d rather die than be forced to be his mate for all eternity. Why couldn’t I mate with Sebastian? Thinking of fucking him gave me the willies, but anything was better than Kade.

Anger racked my body and I sat there, seething . . . until I felt him. He was coming for me; I could sense him drawing near. The closer we got to the meadow, the more I could smell Kade and his excitement—his lust. Hopefully, he could smell the rage and disgust coming from me.

Wolves mated for life; it was a sacred union. It wasn’t like a human marriage where you could end it by signing a piece of paper. Our unions weren’t something you did lightly. It was also not a decision I was going to let my parents make for me. The only way to escape would be to kill him, and the last thing I wanted to do was start a war between packs. There had to be another way.

Up ahead, in wolf form, Kade kept his stare dialed in on me. He was large—like all alpha males tended to be—but I wasn’t impressed. He could smell my indifference and in return growled low, challenging me. I glared straight at him, not backing down, nor lowering my head. No one would ever make me submit.


EXCERPT 2:
You’re disappointed I didn’t sleep with you last night?" Ryker asked.


"Not at all. I enjoy sleeping alone. I have more room."

"You lie, angel. I could feel your disappointment this morning. All you have to do is tell me you want me and I’ll stay. I have to hear it."

"You know I want you, Ryker. I’m sure you could figure that out the other night."
My whole life, I never needed anyone to protect me, not even my parents. And when it came down to it, they didn’t do a very good job when it came to Kade. I knew I could survive on my own. Admitting I needed or even wanted someone was foreign to me. Saying the words out loud was near impossible.

"You showed me, but haven’t told me. Words can be powerful," he replied.

Rolling my eyes, I got out of bed and threw on some clothes before going downstairs. He was in the kitchen with his back to me, shirt off, wearing only a pair of boxers. Holy fuck. "So if I take off my clothes and lay down on the table, you wouldn’t have sex with me?"

He chuckled. "Nope."

"You sure?"

"Yep." He continued on with cooking while I stood there, dumbfounded. I didn’t believe him for a second. His back stiffened when I took off my shirt and pants and climbed up on the table.

"I am so hungry," I announced, waiting for him to turn around. When he did, he completely ignored me and sat down with his plate of food.

He pointed to the counter. "Your plate’s up there."

"You’re seriously not going to look at me?"

He studied an invisible spot on the table and placed a piece of bacon in his mouth, crunching it slowly. "You’re not ready for that."

I waited for him to sneak a peek but he didn’t. "Who’s the stubborn one now?"

He chuckled. "Still you, sweetheart. You have me beat."
 


OUR REVIEW

4.5 Stars

There is no way Bailey will allow herself to be mated to the abusive Kade and if running is the only way to escape him then that's what she will do.

But after a week of running she finds herself in the territory of another wolf one she can't seem to keep her thoughts away from. What Ryker tells her about life is so different from what she's always known, is it possible he's telling the truth? And why would her whole life have been a lie?

Bailey is one  tough chick she is not one to take things lying down and will not let others control her.

Ryker is an alpha male in every way, but he's also a big sweetie. He takes care of those around him even when they don't even know he's there. You can see right away just how much he has always cared for Bailey by the way he treats her.

This story takes you into a new and exciting world with wolves and witches and you never know what else may come in time. I enjoyed seeing this world come to life through the characters and it truly felt like you were right there with them through whatever emotions they were going through at any time.

The characters were well told so you feel like you got a great understanding of them and their motives. I definitely enjoyed it and am excitedly awaiting the next one to come out!
