For the last several years, Brayden felt like an outcast amongst his friends. Since the day he saw a man shift into a wolf, he knew he no longer belonged in their circle. They were immersed in the paranormal world while he was away at college, living the life of an ordinary human.
One night while he was walking home, he saw a dog in need of help. Turns out, it wasn’t a dog at all.
Kandra was a wolf shifter on the run. She’d fled an abusive relationship, running from a male she once thought she could trust. As a lone wolf, she was free, but she was also slowly dying.
Pack life wasn’t something Kandra wanted, and she never thought she’d trust another male. Yet, she trusted Brayden. In him, she found the opportunity to join a new pack—shifters who would be there when she needed them.
But the past came calling, and they would take back what was theirs.
Kandra’s life was in danger and Brayden would do whatever it took to keep his mate safe, including asking a vampire to bite him. His new life was extraordinary—because she was in it.
With his vampire given powers, Brayden was ready to fight for the one he loved. Now all he had to do was find her.
✯✯5 Brayden Filled Stars!!!✯✯
OMG Michelle Dare did it again!!! She wrote another grand-slam. I’ve been waiting for Brayden to get his story since the very beginning of The Ariane Trilogy. It was totally worth the wait!!!
Brayden is living in New York while going to college. Ever since his best friends Ari & Paige fell in love with wolves and moved into the Avynwood pack house he’s felt like an outsider. Even though Ari, Paige and everybody in the Avynwood pack reminds him that he’s part of their family.
Brayden stays on campus during holiday break. Walking home one night he comes across a bunch of guys beating up a dog. Brayden stops them and the minute he looks into the eyes of the dog he realized it’s no dog but a wolf.
Brayden convinces the Wolf to comeback to his apartment to heal, get rest and food. He doesn’t know anything other then they’re a wolf but he feels a connection to them nonetheless.
When he wakes up the wolf is gone. Ari shows up when he calls and decides to go looking for this lone wolf. Ari promises Brayden she’ll look out for the wolf.
Kendra doesn’t have any family. When she lost those closest to her she was taken in by a pact.
Kendra and the rest of the women in the pact were treated horribly. They were told when to eat, sleep, talk and everything else. They were also used against their will as the men saw fit.
Kendra was finally able to plan her escape but she’s very weak, scared and is very underweight. She needs to eat and sleep and hideout. When she’s attacked she doesn’t fight back.
Then Brayden showed up saved her and gave her a place to sleep. She doesn’t trust anybody ESP men but there was something about him that both her and her wolf trusted completely.
Ari showed up and told Kendra she had a place she could go and be safe her options were limited but she trusted Brayden and he trusted Ari, so Kendra went.
Kendra didn’t want to be in a pact after what she just went through. When she met Aries, the alpha of the Avynwood pact he offered her protection and a place in his pact if she ever wanted it.
Kendra knew she had a lot of healing mentally to do. But, she wanted to get to know Brayden. And, gradually meet other members wolves, vampires and fae of the Avynwood pact.
Brayden felt strongly for Kendra. He was very protective of her. So much that he took up the Verascue brothers on letting them gift him powers in order to keep him and Kendra safe. Just in time bc Kendra’s past has returned.
Once I started this I didn’t put it down. This is as amazing as the previous in this series and The Ariane Trilogy.
It has all the previous characters and their greatness. The way the Paranormals look and treat Brayden as one of their own was great. I don’t know how he felt like an outsider bc they never looked or treated him as one not once.
The Solomon/Ford banter the back and forth greatness is still here and great as before lol.
Michelle set up our next charter Titus. And, Kendra and Titus’s connection was OMG YAYYYYY!!!! I legit didn’t see that coming.
Like I said this is another grand slam winner for Michelle!!! Can’t wait for Titus. I’m also keeping my fingers crossed Brayden’s roommate gets a mate in the paranormal world. He definitely fits into this world.
