"You belong to me, Sheila. I alone am capable of making you feel this way. Your moans and body belong to me. Your soul and your body are all mine!"

His voice was more brutal than the winter's gravest wind and sharper than any sword to my chest. "You mean nothing to me, Sheila Callaso. Absolutely nothing!"

"I won't ever leave you. I promise with my life."

"You are my priority, Sheila, and will always be of importance to me."

Alpha Killian Reid, the most dreaded Alpha in all of the North, wealthy, powerful and widely feared in the supernatural world, was the envy of all other packs. He was thought to have it all... power, fame, wealth and favour from the moon goddess, little was it known to his rivals that he has been under a curse, which has been kept a secret for so many years, and only the one with the gift of the moon goddess can lift the curse.
Sheila, the daughter of Alpha Lucius who was an arch enemy to Killian, had grown up with so much hatred, detest and maltreatment from her father. She was the fated mate to Alpha Killian.
He refused to reject her, yet he loathed her and treated her poorly, because he was in love with another woman, Thea. But one of these two women was the cure to his curse, while the other was an enemy within. How would he find out? Let's find out in this heart racing piece, filled with suspense, steamy romance and betrayal.

Cuando termino un libro siempre me resulta muy difícil decidirme cual leer a continuación; así q este tipo de novelas cortas son las q ayudan a pasar el tiempo mientras tomo la siguiente decisión trascendental.
A veces es una total falta de tiempo, y a veces es un viaje de descubrimiento. Eso pasó con esta historia. Estaba exceptica, no le tenía fe y me hizo un monumental "in your face!!!!"
Sheila es una joven loba q ha tenido una vida miserable creciendo al lado de un padre torturador, q no tiene ningún reparo en entregarla a su compañero destinado, el peor enemigo de su padre y un conocido alfa cruel y despiadado, Killian, quien desde el principio le escupe en la cara q él no tiene intención de reconocerle ningún derecho y no se cuida en pasearse en su cara con su amante. Y aunq al principio podemos decir q la narrativa es de lo más cliché, andando la lectura para adelante tenemos mucho sazón: una maldición, lobos, vampiros, brujas, más lobos q no sabes muy bien para q rondan a Sheila y más villanos de los q son usuales haciendoles la vida imposible a la pareja protagónica.
La trama es compleja, y tiene algunos errores de ambientación xq aparentemente estamos en epocas del medioevo - la gente se maneja a caballo - pero los personajes van y se toman duchas; sin embargo, esos pequeños detalles erróneos no le quitan sustancia a la historia q no necesariamente termina de arreglar un entuerto cuando ya se está cocinando otro.
Me salvó la semana y me dio una gran lección: a pesar de todos los miles de libros que llevo leídos, todavía me puedo estusiasmar por una trama q no necesariamente es original, pero que con los ingredientes adecuados en las dosis justas, hace q la narrativa sea emocionante.

A beginning

But not a well edited or planned book. This story is undercooked from setting to character development. It leaps around time period without ever claiming one. There is obvious loss on which characters are where orare doing what. There are rather large plot swerves that are just dropped in with no detail like Thea being the only one in the cave with the Demon alpha and DISAPPEARING and the stones being TAKEN. Does no one have a brain to ask questions? Valerie feels the magic of the Lunamultiple times and doesn't get why she can walk through the door?

This is like one of those AI stories that float around, poorly edited and unfinished. I wouldn't spend the money on what will be the predictable end.

This book aggravated me and excited me at the same time. I found myself yelling internally hoping the characters in the book could hear me! As if my heckling would have changed the trajectory of the story. In any case, loved all the characters and even with a full cast, it was easy to remember who was who. A very good read!

A pretty good spicy read. I ended up liking the story overall but it was always well paced. There were parts that drew out to long and parts that felt kind of rushed. Like I said, in the end it was good overall.

Very good

I really enjoyed this book, easy to read, enough drama but not too much, story doesn’t drag one

Can’t wait to see what’s happens next in this story,

Engaging

This book could be a great book but there are so many typos and it is need of some serious editing.
