"I, Grayson Dawson, Alpha of the Moonlit Pack, reject you, Lola Ashton, as my mate and Luna of this pack," I heard Grayson's voice reach my ear and a single tear ran down my left cheek as it felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest.
"I, Lola Ashton, accept..." I did not finish my sentence before he held me up by my throat and snarled in my face. His eyes had already changed colors so I knew his wolf was in charge.
"You will not reject me, slut. I am your owner and I tell you what to do and when," he slapped me across the face and threw me on the ground.
***
After being rejected by her mate in the Moonlit pack, Lola escaped on a full moon only to enter the territory of the next Alpha King who also happened to be her second chance mate.
Adrian is the next Alpha King but he hasn't been able to assume his role because he needed a Luna by his side. A rogue that trespassed on his territory, whom he ordered be killed turned out to be his mate leaving him in a dilemma.
Will Adrian reject Lola because she came into his territory as a rogue? Will he overcome what happened to him in the past and give Lola a chance or reject her and go ahead with Fay as his chosen Luna?
What will happen when everyone finds out just how much power Lola wields and how she's supposed to protect her kind in an oncoming war? Find out in Lola- The Moon Wolf!
So, the book has potential but needs a lot of editing and proofreading. Not too sure who Chelsea and Alexander are and other names get a bit muddled up. The repetition gets a bit tedious, such as the repetitive comments like “I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to… I promise” and other lines like that After a while, some scenes ted to repeat itself.
I also feel like the conversations between their wolves are long and unnecessary in some cases and can be a little childish at times.
Well the character shift for the MMC and FMC was a little bizarre. The lack of editing on this one is blatantly obvious as the pace, spelling, grammar, sentence structure, character names, etc were completely off…… Storyline—- well I actually don’t hate how it ended but I think I’m just said that it’s such a rough edit that it’s hard to be excited when there is so much mess. But the story was mostly pretty good… just need to do some heavy heavy editing and maybe some characterizations.
I understand the author is trying to keep the story going, but it is too long-winded and the plotlines repeat themselves. The first book had understandable tension on why Adrian was initially hostile to Luna and why Luna was so traumatized and fearful. However, after their mating, it seems that it keeps going back and forth of her passing out from a visit to the Garden, or use of a new Power, and then Adrian being anxious hovering over Lola again and again. The author keeps relying on this distraction instead of moving the plot along. Also, the editing is poor. There are numerous misspellings, then unclear passages in which you don't know which person is speaking. The sentence structure is sometimes confusing. Also, I understand that the author is trying to use the appearance of the Garden to reveal a little bit of truth while the rest remains in mystery, but after awhile it grows irritating, especially after she returns after once again having passing out for several days and causing again undue worry and stress, which gets repetitious. I like that she is gaining powers, and that she was also training to fight like a warrior, especially under the former Alpha Jaden's tutelage. I would have liked to see her hone and practice her new powers, besides the healing, as she discovers them, and spend some time describing that. Also, despite her seemingly praiseworthy fighting skills she learned from Jaden, you don't see her use them. It would have been more interesting if the author could have spent a little time describing how she used those learned fighting skills to successfully battle some of Damon's warriors and fought to escape. It just says she escaped, then the next thing is she appears at home. The plot has a few highlights, but it could run more smoothly with a bit more direction and less repetitive devices.
I am reading this book via Passion app from Google Play.
This is the 3rd part of the story and although I'm interested, I do get distracted at times. There are typo errors that need addressing but if you can get past that, it's a good storyline.
Lona has been traumatised by her part, we gradually learn. She escapes and is considered a rogue but fortunately, the lack she then meets take her in, and she becomes the Luna if the pack.
in this part, we are learning about the alpha ehi is out to take her as his mate and we learn just what he is oriented to do in order to get his way ...can Lola be saved....who lives, who dies, a storyline that kept me reading through as much as I could.
If you are reading via the app, be prepared to watch ads, read articles, play games to gain extra chapters ..but in my opinion, it's well with the sacrifices...just look at each if then as a means to an eve and a rest from reading non- stop.
Enjoy.

Heart‑wrenching, Twisty, and Unapologetically Intense
Shadows of the Rogue King (Book 3) delivers everything I hoped for and more—and then some. The emotional stakes are high, especially with the heartbreaking turn of losing his dad. That moment resonated deeply and added weight to every decision that followed. I found myself emotionally invested in Lola’s journey, admiration for her growing strength, and anticipation for the battles yet to come.
What truly stands out in this installment is the strategic and emotional development—the way Lola is stepping into her destined role while dealing with immense grief showcases real maturity. The plot twist hits hard and on point, keeping the momentum strong, and the pacing is beautifully tight.
The first half of this book was impossible to read, it felt like I was having a stroke. The second half was better, but the plot doesn’t make any sense.
Selene said the fates wanted Lola in exchange for information on how to win the war, and then proceeds to tell Lola nothing once again. So essentially she has to win a war for them without guidance and then pay the ultimate price- she might as well not have asked to begin with and just took her chances since they didn’t tell her shit. Would have made more sense if they asked her to sacrifice herself to them in exchange for them bending the threads of fate in her favor, but that’s not what’s happening apparently.
8 Wows~ The heat is up and up on the love scenes. I am still smiling.❤️🔥❤️🔥
Well the plot thickens and the price is turning into a super hero becomes more complicated and dangerous. When I start the book I can’t stop reading. I am tired from lack of sleep. The dust in my house is getting deeper and deeper.LOL, LOL, LOL Park Kata throws everything into her stories. Lust , lust did I say lust. I love her creative and inventive mind. She creates characters that anyone would love. Thanks❤️🔥
Ugh, no spoilers here, i guess, but except for when Lola is back home, everything that happens outside of the pack in this story is just so beyond cringe. Not only is it poorly written (reasoning badly explained and the editing, as in the whole series, is atrocious), but the actual premise just sucks. I really hope the final book reminds me why I stuck with this series!
This book is another really good read after everything Lola has gone through I still just so upset that the fates are going to rip her and her mate apart if they win the war... It seems so unfair hasn't she already paid the price for being abused after her mum dad and brother was killed by rogues... How could the fates and moon goddess be so heartless.
Plot thickens, characters grow. All volumes desperately need someone whom English is their first language and fix all the grammar, tenses and pronoun errors. It's very distracting and takes you out of readers trance every other sentence. Ie: this not these. Toast is plenty of description, to say toast bread is redundant. His and hers are missing every time it's proper to use them. Etc, etc, etc...
These books need a better editor. The writer forgets what names to use for what characters a lot and some of the english sounds like a bad translation from another language to English. Also it gets wierdly spicy in an almost vulgar way in this book. There was a tiny sneak peak of it in book 2 but man in book 3 it really went out.
I enjoyed book 1 and 2 to an extend . But a book 4 all of this could be done in 2 books . Now I know that Lola will be be no more after destroying I’ve lost interest totally . After all why couldn’t the ancients leave her be. Why do they need her soul. It leaves me to wonder if she will have a child . She suffers so much and enjoyed so little
What I wouldn’t give for the chance to do a decent editing job on these books! The story is actually pretty good, but there are SO MANY spelling, context, name and grammar mistakes it’s appalling. It wouldn’t even be that difficult to fix, it would just require someone through.
I just wish that Lola had more confidence in herself and with the task she’s burden with. Lola is a strong Wolf. The White Wolf. It’s time that she believes in herself and what she’s about to do.
This whole series has misspelled words and bad sentence structure. It's a cute story if you can put the right words in and get past the kisses on the forehead all the time.
Between the grammar, and hard to understand sentences. The main characters being called other names that aren’t even in this storyline. Lola the heroine goes into a coma more frequently than the first two books, it’s becoming down right frustrating.
I would not buy this collection. While the story line is interesting the number of errors made reading the books a pain. At one point the entire character list changed. If you are going to write then publish a book or books, at least find an editor that will spell check. I would request a refund.
Good plot line. Awful execution. I think AI wrote these. There are hundreds of spelling and grammatical errors. It also switched the character mid-sentence often. I hate that I have to finish everything I start.
Potential in the story, but so many editing errors and typos it is distracting. It feels some parts need to be flushed out, but will finish as I want to know how she wraps it up.
Enjoyed the story, happy that Fay decided to change and help Lola to escape. Damon is sick as hell still had a lot of grammar issues.This girl cried so much to be this top dog wolf.
