Owen Castel has been searching for his kidnapped mate for the last four months. He's been held hostage by a group of nearly wild alphas, so when Owen finds him pregnant, he wants revenge on the men he believed did it.
Peter Buchanan thought that he wasn't in love with Owen. It was just about the sex to satisfy their mating urges. But after four months in the hands of cruel alphas, Peter can now look at the truth and forgive Owen for his time as an alpha of the enemy pack. Too bad he's dead.
So when Owen comes back from the grave and saves Peter, taking him away from the alphas, Peter is determined to make it work this time. The pup he carries is Owen's, and he doesn't want to lose his mate again because Owen's wolf is hungry for revenge.
Finally we get Peter and Owen's story! They've been slinking around each other for a while; well, Peter as a formerly abused luna omega has been trying to run from the alpha Owen whenever they were in the same room. Until, at the end of the previous book, he finally gives in to the mating urge and – boom – gets abducted by enemy alphas, the beasts leaving Owen for dead and taking Peter gods know where.
Owen goes after Peter but it takes him a while to track Peter and the alphas down. They are trying to avoid capture, but they have nowhere to go because both the enemy packs have been dissolved. When Owen finally does find Peter, the alphas are no match for him and he focuses on getting Peter safely back to the pack. Owen still blames himself for what happens, but, much to his relief, Peter will have none of that, and they slowly begin to build a relationship together – still on the run, but at least firmly on the same side now.
Peter has had a lot of time to think about what happened. He may have submitted to his mating urges when he first gave in to Owen's advances (resulting in him being pregnant on top of everything else), but time and distance has taught him a few things, He still doesn’t hope for love, but at lest he looks forward to having Owen by his side. Of course, it isn’t as easy as all that, since Roarke and the others who can protect them and bring them home take a while to get to them .It give the evil alphas, the two who are still alive, time to catch up with them and take Peter prisoner again.
In the final fighting scene, when Owen frees Peter with Roarke and the others' help, four rather mysterious new werewolves turn up. From what I have seen they will get their own series ('Werewolves of Willow Lake'), and I look forward to reading it! Unfortunately, it may mean the end of this series…
If you like werewolves with unusual abilities, such as the luna wolves and their assorted friends, if you enjoy reading about men who start off on the wrong foot only to find they are meant to be together, and if you want to catch up with the Luna Werewolves in what looks to be the final volume of this series, then you will probably enjoy this novella.
