Return To Wolf Creek #3

Coveted by the Alpha Pack

Running for my life from a deranged ex-fiancé was just the beginning.

It’s hard to believe that only eighteen months ago, I was running for my life, fleeing an abusive marriage. Fast forward to now, and I’m not just the Luna of one pack, but six.

Yeah, you heard that right—six packs, three kids, and six incredibly sexy partners.

Absorbing five packs wasn’t on my bingo card, but it was a necessity. We uncovered a betrayal so deep within our ranks and the council that we had to absorb five other packs just to survive.

And if that wasn’t enough, a power-hungry council member and my crazed ex are both on the hunt for me, determined to tear apart everything I’ve built.

As I lay surrounded by my mates, I constantly question How far would I go to protect my loved ones? I can’t sacrifice myself, or everyone will die. I only have one option when push comes to shove. Would I burn the world to the ground to keep them safe.

One thing’s for I’ll do whatever it takes to defend my family.

They’re about to find out that this Luna doesn’t just howl—she bites.

This book really shows exactly how strong Grace is. Not just as a wolf, or as a leader, but a partner, a parent, a packmate. And I love that so much. Normally we see the FMCs in shifter romances be the mate to the alpha, but never be the actual main alpha of the pack. And she’s the Lunar wolf, basically alpha of ALL packs. It’s amazing to read.
We really get to know Lorcan here and he’s a sweetheart who isn’t afraid to be vulnerable. The fact that the pack goes to therapy is amazing. I adore that we actually see that (and the scenes) in the book.
I’m definitely feeling the ending coming and I’m gonna be disappointed. I’ve grown to known these characters and their distinct personalities and I’ll miss them. I really hope the author keeps the same energy that was in this book for the next one. I really enjoyed it, not just the angst and action, but the character driven scenes, and surprisingly the inner monologues of each mate.
I do hope the Ember Wolf part won’t be too complicated tho. Enough has happened to this group lol.

I love this series! Grace and her guys are great and I've been looking forward to the next book. And it didn't disappoint, Coveted by the Alpha Pack was a great read.


The guys took more of a supportive role letting Grace take the lead but not it's unexpected, after all this is Grace's rodeo. Grace has transformed from the caring and protective Grace who didn't like violence to, well she's still caring and protective but now she's willing to burn it all down and I love that Ethan standing by her side handing her the match. I love the kind of MC that stands by his girl no matter what. Ethan is easily my favorite of the guys.


The majority of this story was dealing with big emotions. Grace makes being Luna seem effortless although from her perspective it's a different story, I could see the toll her role and power took on her. Between dealing with the trauma from her past and a personal tragedy that occurred, there were a lot of emotions. I'm just rolling with all the twists and turns. There's a new mate, Lorcan, who is the sweetest and a great addition to the family, and I love it whenever he calls her "lass." The problems in the packs, the threat of her ex, and the rogue attacks keep the story going but it's Grace herself that kept me on my toes.


Coveted by the Alpha Pack ended with a major question, I can't wait to see the conclusion of Grace's story in the fourth and final book, Finding Forever with the Alpha Pack.

If only the end of the book was different

Spoilers

**************

I was fine with everyone's relationship until the end of this book. She is their mate, for all of them, and for me mate trumps all. Except for Barrett and Conrad. Conrad couldn't stand being away from Barrett so much he left with Barrett and the ones protecting the babies. Yet he could stand being away from Grace for an indefinite amount of time. Barrett the same. I guess one could say it was the straw that broke every thing for me. Yes, Conrad and Barrett were together before Grace came back but they knew as children, before they started their relationship, that she was their mate. They could get together with each other but not go after Grace when she became an adult. Convince Conrad's brother's to bond Barrett as their omega to keep their sanity but not go after Grace. Conrad didn't even tell Grace about his relationship with Barrett before having sex with her for the first time. The odds are really good that it won't happen but I would really love if she broke her bond with Conrad and Barrett. In my world, they can keep their bond together, get married in front of the pack, be uncles to the kids and Barrett can keep his bonds and relationships with the other Alphas. They just don't deserve Grace. I'm not however a good enough person to wish them a happily ever after as I do want them to marinate, at least for a while, in regret and suffer the ache of a broken bond forever.

What a book. There is so much going on I don’t even know where to start. Gracie just found her final mate Lorcan. He is trying to settle in and find his place in her pack with the other guys, Ethan, Barrett, Conrad, Griffin, Nicolai. During this time Gracie is trying to find her ex to try and protect her family. She is also struggling with how she is gaining even more powers as the Lunar wolf and balancing herself. As we get further into the story we see that she is starting to take on that traits of the ember wolf. Her mates are struggling with how to make that not happen as once she changes they are worried they will lose her to that wolf as other have been known to have done. I just feel so bad for Gracie. She just wants to live her life with her mates and children and be happy. She has been though so much and has so much more to get through before she can finally be happy. By the end of the story the family has to make decisions on how best to face the remaining threats in their lives. We are building up to a huge battle to take out those that wish to harm her and her family. I’m excited to see what happens in the next book and hope to see a HEA for her and her family. They will truly deserve it by the end of everything they have had to go through to get there

Coveted By The Alpha Pack: Return To Wolf Creek Book 3 by Serenity Rayne is a paranormal why-choose. This series must be read in order. Grace is fighting for her packs, mates, and children against her ex and a Rogue council member. As Luna, she is the head alpha. Will she be able to protect the ones she loves, but at what cost?
I like that the FMC is an Alpha and able to protect her family. Lorcan is the new mate and I like him. He balances out Grave and her other alphas. With so many mates there is a lot of back and forth in this novel. The dynamics in this book are different from other fated mate why-choose books. Grace has her favorites and it kinda rubs me wrong on a personal level. This book has a lot of inner thoughts of the characters and is quite wordy at times. If you like flowy language you enjoy how this is written. It was kind of hard for me to follow at times.
The book itself is well written with great characters and lots of action. However, there were parts I just didn't like personally. If you enjoy shifter romances with multiple fated mates, found family, and lots of drama both inside and outside the pack you'll enjoy Coveted By The Alpha Pack.

Coveted By The Alpha Pack is the third book in the Return To Wolf Creek Series. It is a paranormal, wolf shifter, why choose romance with a developing harem.

This book has it all, action, emotion, danger, betrayal, drama, and steam, as well as some surprising discoveries and frightening actions. It’s definitely a fantastic read and one of my favorite series of the year.

I absolutely love seeing these characters grow and develop, and their relationships progress. I love how they deal with their individual challenges as well as their relationship hiccups. I very much loved seeing the aspects of this story that you usually don’t see in shifters books. I also adore the way that grace is with her pups and how they are always what can bring her back to herself. It was all fabulous!

The writing, pace, and flow of the story are terrific, as are the characters, character development, relationship and harem development, storyline, plot, storytelling, and world building. If you love a great wolf shifter romance with an epic story and terrific characters then I’d highly recommend this book.

Coveted by the Alpha Pack by Serenity Rayne is book three in the Return to Wolf Creek Series. This book is intense from start to finish; it’s a very emotionally charged entry into the series. I read this book in about a day or so and let me say, holy crap. (In a good way, of course) There’s a lot going on in this book but what I appreciated the most was the portrayal of the struggles that Grace is going through and how long it took her to admit it. But what I loved was how with everything her mates supported her. This book in my opinion does a great job setting up for the fourth book. As there was a lot of drama with the addition of trying the keep everyone safe. This book is very emotionally charged with everything the characters are going through. It’s easy to find yourself getting lost in them because of how well everything is written. The plot is moving at such a steady pace that you don’t even realize how close to the end you are until you finish. Needless to say I’m very much looking forward to the next book. Overall I had a great reading experience as this had a good mixture of plot, drama/emotions and steamy times.

Final review:
4 out of 5 stars

For starters, I love the direction this series has taken, I love the strong FMC characters this author writes. I love the amount of characters and how they all have such different roles and relationships that arnt always traditional.

I love this author and have read every book she’s released. But I have to say I was a tad disappointed with this book. The plot is ACE, the characters are ACE, the hidden agendas, bad guys, the late introduction to the final mate are all perfect. But for some reason, I felt like the wording was very repetitive this time. Like I think I read the air was charged with determination (or some variation) at least 3 times a chapter. Also, at times it feels like something major happens and it’s told after it happens, like someone recounts what happened to another but you arnt shown what happens as it happens. I’ve never seen this issue with this author before so I’m shocked I was struggling with the writing this time. Maybe I can blame that it was just me and I wasn’t quite in the mood for this book, so I will definitely continue this series and continue being one of her biggest fans.

“Coveted by the Alpha Pack” is book three (not the final book!) in this why choose shifter series, where the harem grows alongside our fmc’s powers. Unfortunately, or fortunately for us readers, the dangers keep on coming as well, and it’s a constant struggle these people face to keep everyone they care about safe.

One thing I like about this series, is the focus on communication. Not just between the main characters, but also in talking to professionals to guard personal mental health issues. I’ve read a lot of books and series where main characters need to do things outside their comfort zone, but there is rarely attention for the impact on their mental health. I’m happy this author makes the decision to put this perspective in her story.

For some reason, I keep on having a hard time connecting with the characters in this series. Since I can’t pinpoint a reason for this, I suspect it’s an entirely personal matter, but I do enjoy the storyline anyway. Something tells me to expect an action-packed finale in book four.

With a little 'previously on' wolf creek, a la Buffy style the story jumps in and keeps up the incredible pace.

The relationships are becoming more intertwined and communication is gonna be key.

The emotions pulled forth in sections of this book make even the hardest heart hurt, cry and all the things.... Yes I'm talking about mine and I am.here.for.it!!!

How the pack protect each other and form plans is awesome inspiring and I could not help falling for their family dynamic

Just when you think more cannot hit this family with more and you know the reasons, why and the stories path...nope think again... .The intricacies of war are "outted "... and so much more is revealed then even this reader expected....

Add in a quote from my favourite TV series that I watch on repeat (much like the character) and such a brilliantly pulled together cliff drop....

Can one withstand so many different opposing thoughts, emotions and feelings?

I mean I'm here for it all !!

I know for certain this reader is excited and yet terrified for what else to come. ..roll on book 4

As the third book of the series starts, Grace has had to do things that her wolf and her being a Luna says is right. However, Grace was a human that was turned to save her life, her humanity is causing her difficulty in aligning up her actions as a wolf and her human side. She finally realizes how it is damaging the family and she seek therapy which I was so glad to see. Today many people, families and cultures see it as a weakness rather then a tool to help get past traumas. Which was even more amazing the family did it with her. Grace has an explosive situation with 3 babies, her ex trying to get to her so he can mate with her and the rouge wolfs killing off the members of the different packs and aligning 6 mates. Grace is also having a life crises or wolf crises if she does it what will happen to her pack? Grace comes up with a plan, sadly I have to wait for the reveal in the next book. I am sitting her patiently waiting well waiting anyway.

Good Read

Coveted by the Alpha Pack is the third book in the Return to Wolf Creek series and continues Grace and her family’s story. This book sees a lot more happening in the story, with new and old enemies closing in on the guys which leaves Grace with a choice that could have devastating consequences.

I found this book to be quite an emotional read. A lot of the things that Grace goes through in this book were difficult to read in that it felt like I could really feel what she was feeling which tells me how well written it was. I loved the story and so much happened in this book, it feels like it’s gearing up for a big finale at the moment. The characters were fabulous as usual and I absolutely love all of them now. The ending has left me really looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Overall, I would totally recommend giving not only this book but the entire series a read.

I do not think I can say enough how much of a great read this was. I may or may not like it more than the first two books. There was just so much going on here.

So Coveted picks up right where book two leaves off. Lorcan gets added to the mate pack of Grace our female lead. Which he was an amazing add I think, he is a blind shifter from Ireland. The journey that this pack has to go through, I just could not stop reading. It was so engaging watching them learn and grow as a pack. Grace has her own inner struggles as well.

Serenity just does an amazing job of creating this world and characters that just grabbed my attention and has not let go. I need to know if Conrad and Grace's relationship develops how I would like to see it. Needing the last book though, it will be bitter sweet. Not for sure I am ready to let these characters go.

3/5 (2-3 full scenes)

I think this book was ok compared to the other's in the series. This book focused more on the inner turmoil of the FMC and the burden of her being the pack leader. I feel like the plot was very repetitive throughout the book. I became a bit frustrated with the FMC because, at times she would show progress in overcoming her struggles, yet a few chapters in the future she would start from the beginning. I also feel like some characters are not getting enough attention as compared to previous books. The spice was also lacking in this book. In general, I was a bit disappointed and wished for more. Not sure if I will continue the series and read the final book

This is book 3 of 4. You really need to read books 1 and 2 before this one. However there is a small recap at the start of this book. It then jumps in straight where the last book left off. Life for Grace is complicated again by yet another mate. And this time he’s a blind healer. His arrival and meeting is broken by the death of her grandma and the pain she feels for this.. They also take on the alpha trials to find a new alpha and it looks like one or two of them will be good but then an evil elder strikes and once again it is Khaos and carnage. Grace manages to keep finding her way through every situation but at what cost. Finally the new mate gets to spend some time with Grace And she feels everything calm down. But for how long?

Great read lots of twists and turns and I didn’t see that coming moments as well as sweet and funny one. Highly recommend.

Oh my gosh where do I begin?! There's a new mate and he's everything! He doesn't think he's worthy of her but he ends up being just what she needed. I love how he is different and love the diversity and inclusivity of this book! It all makes me cry emotionally. The journey throughout this book is epic! That ending my jaw is still dropped it wasn't a cliffhanger perse but a but a lead up to the inevitable of what's to come. The next book will make of breaks us all is what I'm getting from that ending and I'm not prepared for the tears but I need it nonetheless and can't wait to read it! And the fact here's going to be more books after that makes me extremely happy!!!!!!!!! I cried! Don't even get me started about the side characters ketly words Don't Get To Attached. But seriously I loved this book!!!!!!

Fantastic book and series!

This is the 3rd book in this series, and I am soooo hooked. It picks up right when Grace realizes that she just found her final mate -Lorcan- but realizes that he's blind but with the ability to heal others. There is still a war going on with the rogues and her ex, but as the Luna Wolf, she is determined to have peace.

There is a lot that happens in this book, specifically that she has to make sure that her rage and vengeance dont get the best of her or it might be very bad. There is also one of the elders who is working against them and feeding information to the rogues.

Grace and her alpha mates will have to go to war with the packs helping her against those rogue wolves, while Lorcan and Barrett keep the babies safe.

This book was great, and I can't wait to see what happens next!! The spice level is definitely HOT!!

Coveted by the Alpha Pack is the long anticipated third book in the Return to Wolf Creek series by the fabulous Serenity Rayne and did not disappoint! Serenity is a genius at creating characters that suck you right in and a storyline that just keeps giving and the story of Grace and her men is no exception.

With so much going on, so many packs to leas, so many kids to raise, so many equally hot men to satisfy and of course evil to outrun, outsmart and overcome Grace has her work cut out for her! And boy was it a true emotional rollercoaster! Grace has so much strength and power and resilience you can’t help but feel for her. And this story is so full of all the drama and suspense that Rayne is a master at creating that it will keep you on the edge all the way to that delicious cliffhanger of an ending!

Tissues, Lots of Tissues

*Warning Spoilers*

I lost count on the number of time I had tears in my eyes from this book. In the beginning Grace losing Grams. Lorcan with his insecurity with where he fits in with the pack and Barrett having to separate from the pack to protect the children were just some of the scenes that had me reaching for the tissues. Lorcan is now my favorite of Grace’s mates. His vulnerability that comes from not being able to see and thinking he is less than the other mates gets me in all the feels. Now I’m looking forward to see how much of a bad a** Grace will become in the next book. I love Serenity’s writing. The descriptions of people and places creates a vivid picture of Grace’s world that makes it easy for the reader to imagine.

I flew through the pages of this book, I was so excited! That cliffy from book 2 really really had me chomping on the bit to see what happens next!

A new mate thrown into the mix, with constant danger, betrayal and unexpected allies. This book has it all. Maintaining it's status as a unique book amongst shifter novels.

The Alphas, Betas and Omega all fit together well, giving this story a richer element and just so much love. It's a more plot heavy book, focusing more on the characters and how they evolve together as a family. It definitely has some steamy scenes though, so fear not.

I can't wait for book 4. I need to see where this story is going. It's definitely one of my favorites for this year.

Return

Coveted by the Alpha Pack is the third book in this shifter RH. I'm happy to see Grace and her mates back. Plus, it was nice to see her add another mate to the mix and finally settle her family.

There was a lot of turmoil in this book. Grace is struggling with her emotions and her wolf. This puts stress on her mates as they want to help her. And if she gives into the rage she feels...she runs the risk of becoming an ember wolf. But with a dangerous ex, rogues, and plotting enemies, she'll do whatever it takes to keep her family safe.

I guess we'll see in the next book if their plan works or not. I'm nervous that the family split up to protect the kids. It makes me think the next book is going to be very intense.

This is the third book in the series and wow!
There is so much going on in this book that i truly do not know where to start from without giving out so much!
I love Gracie!
She is one of the few FMCs that is a real bad @ss in all forms!
I love her spirit and her energy and how she handles everything that comes her way.
In this book we see her finding her final mate Lorcan.
I have made my view on the rest of the guys clear on the previews books.
Now Lorcan is exactly the piece that was missing!
He is sweet,kind and i loved the struggle that we saw until Gracie faced her true feelings!
I really loved this story and its fast paced and with lot of action.
I can't wait to see what will happen in the next book.

This book perfectly showcases Grace’s strength—not just as a wolf or leader, but as a partner, parent, and packmate. I love that she’s not just the Alpha’s mate but the true Alpha herself, wielding immense power as the Lunar Wolf.

Lorcan is a fantastic addition—vulnerable yet strong—and the pack’s therapy sessions were a refreshing, realistic touch. The emotional weight in this book was intense, from personal tragedies to rising threats, and I loved seeing Ethan stand by Grace, ready to burn it all down for her.

With twists, action, and deep character moments, this book delivered. The ending left me eager for Finding Forever with the Alpha Pack—Grace and her family deserve their HEA!

One of my favorite things about Serenity’s writing is how she is able to give each of the characters individual personalities. The same goes for this book. We feel Grace’s struggle to come to terms with what it means to be a Lunar Wolf and each of her mates in their relationship. There is a lot of communication happening among the mates. There are no misunderstandings between the mates that take place. All of the characters are unique and it’s easy to tell who is who.

I love how her relationship with Lorcan progresses and what he contributes to the bond among all the mates.

There’s a good balance between everyday life, the action and the spicy times.

I really enjoyed this third book in the series where Grace had to get to the point where all out war is coming to their doorsteps. I love getting to see her and Lorcan together, and the switcheroo Griffin and Ethan make happen. I love seeing how strong and determined Grace and Barrett are to protect the babies, and I can't wait to see if in the next book Conrad and Barrett will become even closer than ever. My only concern during this book is the feeling that Grace is going to let her wolf take over completely and lose herself to her rational self. I feel like this would destroy all the good this pack has done, but we will just have to see how the last book goes!

Serenity gives us another fantastic book in the Return to Wolf Creek series! The story of Grace, her mates, family and packs continue from where book 2 left off. With everything hitting the proverbial fan, Grace and her mates wind up having to absorb 5 other packs and with everything else going on, it becomes a wild ride of emotions and events that keep you turning pages throughout. Dive into this beautifully written book with complex characters and plot twists that keep you glued to the story throughout. I loved reading this story and highly recommend the series! Don't miss out on this book!!

This series is simply amazing. Grace is sweet and protective, but still is willing to do everything she can to protect the ones she love. Ethan and Lorcan are both protective and supportive of everything that Grace does. This book is filled with action, emotion, danger, betrayal, drama, and steam, as well as some surprising discoveries and frightening actions. My heart broke when Barrett had to leave to save the children, This book made me laugh, cry and want to throw it across the room. I have to admit this is probably one of the best books in this series and I highly recommend it to everyone. I loved this book so much.

Wow! What an emotional roller coaster of a read! Grace and her mates cannot catch a break, and now that they have children, it only gets more hairy given the difficulties presented to them. While luckily Grace's mates are all very supportive to her, there are still dangers around every corner with threats to her and all that she loves. Coveted by the Alpha Pack seems to have set up this transition period for Grace that leaves us wondering how all will fare for her in the next book. I only hope that she is able to continue toward a HEA where everyone survives. All I can say about this one is to have a tissue box handy while you read this book!
