Blurb: In a World where the Alpha are the law, Beta the order, and Omega the knowledge…the Delta have become the oppressed.
The night of Samhain is fast approaching, and for that one night a year, Gray and the last remaining Dire Wolves—amongst others—are entrusted with the protection of the veil between worlds, while it’s at its thinnest. Add in the threat of a new drug on the market, and they’ll have to work twice as hard to keep everyone safe. The last thing he needs is a sexy little Delta to save.
As a lowly Delta, Red Wolf shifter Ryan has never known peace. Cast away and unwanted, he is quickly taken captive and trained as a dancer at The Howling, a strip club in the worst part of Praeter. Hungry, abused, and kept in a drug-induced fog, his life is nothing. He is nothing but the orders and twisted demands of his captor. All that changes when he catches the scent of a wolf in the crowd.
Long ebony hair, eyes that can’t decide if they’re green or blue as they follow him on stage. Unable to stop himself, Ryan does the one thing guaranteed to earn him punishment. He touches the other wolf. Peace. For those few brief moments, the hunger, the pain, the torment…all gone. The price to feel that respite again, though, could very well be his life.

Review: Gray is a Dire wolf shifter and the Alpha of his group of wolves that protect the veil between our world and someplace dark and sinister. On the eve of Samhain, when the veil is most vulnerable, Gray stumbles on his mate in a sleazy strip club, The Howling. His attempt to focus on the task at hand, saving the world from pure evil, is muddled with his need to protect his mate.
Ryan is a Delta in a world where Alpha, Omega, and Beta are the top of the food chain. Delta’s are discarded, unwanted, and abused. But not this Delta, not anymore! Gray and his pack mate Law (short for Lawson) have found their mates in Ryan and one of his fellow Delta’s being held captive at The Howling. When Gray is captured and tortured by the sick son of a bitch that holds the Delta’s captive, Ryan’s instinct to protect HIS mate kicks in. Can Gray, Ryan, and Law escape The Howling? More importantly, how can they protect the veil when they are prisoners?
I loved the concept of this book, the characters, and the storyline especially that little twist with the threesome. The end felt rushed though. All loose ends were tied up, but I almost felt short-changed with the ending. That being said, this was still a fun read. Fast paced, action packed and sexy.
