Blurb: Mate or die.
Gabriel is out of time. As the last unmated omega wolf in his superstitious pack, he faces an ultimatum: mate with an alpha, or be banished to the vicious outside world. Gabriel knows he won’t survive out there, but he doesn’t have much of a choice. It’s stay and mate, or leave and die.
But Gabriel wants to make his own choice. Despite the dangers, he leaves the pack. When violent humans threaten him with death or worse, Gabriel accepts his fate – until a gorgeous alpha dragon appears and saves him from a certain demise.
Fight for love.
Dante hadn’t intended to find a mate. As an alpha shifter with the hybrid powers of dragon and wolf, he’s gifted with immortality and power. He’d rather be at home with his books than escorting a scout over the lands and searching for new omegas to bring back to their tribe.
But when Dante sees an omega wolf fall into the hands of cruel raiders outside the pack’s walls, he feels the spark. Gabriel is his fated mate. Dante refuses to find his mate and lose him in the same night. Dante will fight tooth and talon to protect Gabriel, and doesn’t care what stands in his way.

Review: Gabriel’s pack has lived behind the walls for as long as he could remember. They knew that by going out they would die by the hands of the humans. One omega had left long ago only to die by their hands, or so they think. No one really knows. The laws state that if an omega doesn’t take the hand of an alpha they are forced to leave. Basically being sentenced to death. Gabe however didn’t want an alpha, he wanted a fated mate. Just those words are outlawed pretty much. Ass backwards pack if you tell me.
Dante had not wanted to leave his home but knew he had to basically keep his friend safe while she searched for omega’s who wanted to come with them. However he heard a cry and went to find out. What he found was his fated mate about to die. Thing is his mate is as stubborn as all gets out and boy is he trouble.
This is the first time I had read a story written by this author so I wasn’t really sure what I would get. It is a very fascinating story that has a unique twist to it. Dante is a dragon shifter who can shift into a wolf. They also have magical abilities as well. However even though it is a unique and fresh idea, it is also well used in the alpha/omega sense. It flows nice but it jumps from saving, to meeting, to mating, to having a baby and so forth. It made the story just a bit off to me. It just needs more to it. To many inconsistencies to really make the story rock for me. For one the words fated mate were basically outlawed, but how did Gabe not know that if he was born there.
It has a few problems that could be fixed, but it is the first book in the series so I am hoping that there are more to the next ones. It was a very entertaining read and did keep my attention pretty much through it all. I just hope the next book doesn’t come off rushed. For now I will continue to read the rest of the series once they come out.
