Book Blurb

Omega wolf Colten Morgan has been taken as the mate of an alpha wolfhound. Wolfhounds are bred to hunt and kill werewolves, and though Zane claims to love Colten and doesn't want to hurt him, Colten can't help but fear him, even as he desperately desires him.

 

He doesn't want to fear his mate. The man has had ample opportunity to do harm, and yet he's always been more than kind, more than willing to protect Colten and give him everything he needs.

 

But Colten's animal side goes into flight mode whenever his mate is nearby. It shivers and shakes, and despite the desire between them, he still knows that he is creating a very unhappy mating.

 

Colten doesn't want to make the man he loves unhappy. So he will do whatever it takes to be with his mate, even if it means demanding to be taken the way he needs to be.

 

Book Review

The complications of a werewolfhound - a genetically altered werewolf whose purpose it is to hunt and kill werewolves - mated to a werewolf omega really come to the fore in this second book of the ‘Rogue Wolfhounds’ series. Max, the alpha of the wolfhound pack, and Todd, the pregnant omega werewolf he saved from the human-run lab, overcame their issues relatively quickly because Todd had every reason to trust Max after he accepted the baby. But Colten has no such reason to trust Zane, and I only began to fully understand the severity of the situation with Zane and Colten’s story as the focus.

To be mated to someone, yet fearing the man’s very touch, is driving Colten crazy. He needs to have sex with Zane, and emotionally he likes the powerful werewolfhound, but Colten’s inner wolf severely disagrees. He is scared to death of Zane, and the push-and-pull is making Colten wish he had more control over the animal. He is too scared to let Zane bite him, and even though they both suspect that is what helped cement Max and Todd’s relationship, Colten just cannot get to the point where he will ask for, or even allow, Zane to give him the mating bite.

Zane for his part isn’t much better off. He wants Colten all the time, wants his mate to trust him, but every time he sees the abject fear in Colten’s eyes, it is like a punch to the gut for Zane. He is more patient than a saint, and I really admired him for that. Then push comes to shove and he does what has to be done, yet regrets it deeply. The whole situation sure had me paying attention!

But that isn’t all. Toward the end of the book Max and his pack run into a new danger, or rather a new enemy finds them, takes them unaware, and before they know what’s going on they have Smith taken from them to protect Todd and Colten and Ryland left behind knowing his mate is out there. The situation with Dean and Joey isn’t getting much better either. In summary there is plenty of material for several more books in this exciting series and I look forward to seeing what Marcy Jacks comes up with next.

If you like the idea of werewolfhounds and their issues, if you want to see how Colten and Zane battle and overcome their issues, and if you’re looking for a read that is full of suspense, action, angst, and hot mating, then you will probably like this novella.
