Book Blurb

Edward, one of four ancient wolves, has discovered his mate, reincarnated and in the hands of hunters. The man is also pregnant, so even though it means that he must have mated with someone else in this lifetime, Edward is willing to risk it all to set him free.

Craig McCourt is a human, but his abductors insist he's a werewolf. Then Craig turns his head and spots the real thing. The wolf changes into a handsome man that Craig can't take his eyes off of, and when he's injured while rescuing Craig, Craig takes him home to care for him.

Craig has no mate, and when he tells Edward about this, the man insists they are the ones who are mated. As much as Craig wants to be with him, he's still not convinced that he is pregnant. He can't be. For one thing, he's a man, for another, even if that was possible, he's a virgin.

 

Book Review

Building on the story and characters from the 'Luna Werewolves' books with their very special alpha and omega wolves, this story begins a new series that takes their mythology and world just a step further. With a nice link to the events in the last 'Luna Werewolves' book, it opens up the past, including the origins of luna werewolves, by telling the story of one of the four mysteriously glowing and powerful wolves who appeared out of nowhere to help Roarke save Peter from the hunters. 

Edward is one of the four ancient wolves, the one who glows green and who has special powers over growing things. He was devastated many centuries ago when his pregnant mate was brutally killed, and has never really recovered from the sock or the guilt he felt about not having protected him. Now that he has awoken and found a man who looks exactly like Edward's dead mate, he is determined to get to the bottom of who Craig is, who go him pregnant, and how to free him from the hunters who have captured this Craig just like the ones who killed the other Craig.

Craig thinks he is a human. He's been captured by a group of hunters who tell him he is a luna werewolf and pregnant, but Craig refuses to believe them. After all, that just isn’t possible. As soon as Edward turns up, and Craig feels a strange attraction and trust toward the stranger, things start changing. Fast. Craig does his best to adapt, but the world as he knows it just isn't the whole picture. He is grateful for Edward's guidance and support when the initially vanquished hunters reappear, but that doesn't mean he'll give up who he is – or was.

If you like to explore werewolf world with an unusual mythology, if you enjoy reading about men who have their worlds turned upside down and inside out by new information and events that just shouldn’t be possible, and if you want to know how the luna werewolves are doing, then you will probably enjoy this novella. I think it's a great start to a promising new series!
