The Alpha’s Fated Bond

Rate this book
Fated, rejected and exiled —that’s what my mate left me.




I never expected mercy—not even from my fated mate.

Alex is supposed to protect me, but all he does is reject me.

His eyes burn with desire, yet he hides behind secrets, refusing to claim me.

Then his fiancée ends up dead—in my room.

Now I’m the one being hunted, and the person I should trust is the one I can’t.

But how do I escape the mate bond when every part of me still craves him?

And what if his secrets are the only thing keeping us alive...




I never meant to fall for her.

Sophia is fierce, dangerous—and mine.

But claiming her could destroy us both.

Now she’s framed for murder, and my pack is on the brink of collapse.

I have to protect her—even if it costs me her trust, maybe even her love.

But how can I save her when I’m the one she’s running from?

In The Alpha’s Fated Bond, Jaymin Snow crafts a shifter romance brimming with passion, tension, and secrets. This is a tale that doesn’t let you catch your breath, throwing readers headfirst into the lives of Sophia, a fierce yet vulnerable wolf hiding her true identity in underground fight rings, and Alexis, an alpha with vengeance in his heart and an iron resolve that falters the moment he meets his fated mate.

Sophia’s character is complex and beautifully layered. Despite the heartbreak and the rejection from her own fated mate, she remains resilient, guarded, and determined to survive in a world that has cast her aside. The “caged wolf” metaphor captures the essence of her struggle, masking her strength while containing her pain. It’s impossible not to feel for her, especially as she battles her attraction to Alexis, the very alpha who rejects her and threatens her secret.

Then there's Alexis—a powerful alpha driven by duty, vengeance, and conflicting loyalties. His immediate rejection of Sophia adds a deeply emotional twist. At first, he comes across as cold and unyielding, but as their shared destiny unravels and the layers of his motives are peeled back, his struggle becomes raw and authentic. The clash between his duty to avenge his pack and the undeniable bond with Sophia creates a dynamic that sizzles with tension.

The stakes are continually heightened by Snow’s world of rival packs, underground fighting, and forbidden romance, which kept me on edge. The revelation that Sophia is the Silver Wolf Alexis has been hunting is both heart-wrenching and deeply satisfying. I found myself rooting for them to overcome their pasts and find a future together, especially as the undeniable mate bond takes hold.

If you’re a fan of shifter romances with strong female leads, reluctant alpha males, and a storyline full of twists, The Alpha’s Fated Bond is a must-read. Jaymin Snow’s storytelling seamlessly blends high-stakes action with emotional depth, crafting a journey of rejection, trust, and redemption. I loved every pulse-pounding moment!.

Wolf Shifter magic

A great continuation of the Alpha's Fated Encounter Trilogy. A well-written story full of mystery, betrayal, action, fated mates, secrets, love, romance and discovery, with plenty of twists; which continues straight from The Alpha’s Fated Choice.

Having escaped the town she had been banished to by her old Alpha, Sophia is travelling to the North Alliance territory to help her fated mate, Alex, free his pack from the Queen of the North Alliance's rule. They've found that she's the fabled Silver Wolf and on their travels they help Lily to escape some wolves. Finding she's a witch they invite her to join them and ask that she might help Sophia with her magic.

But things don't get easier when they reach the pack where they face rejection again. New friends are made and some old friends reappear, but they know they need to keep her true identity secret, with betrayals everywhere have they placed their trust in the right people? When they learn her mum might still be alive Sophia is desperate to find her, but can she do so before the war that is simmering breaks out between the packs?.

From the lead’s names alone, this reader expected fast pacing, snark, wit, corn, equal partners and that is what this new to me author presented in ex black ops mercenary M. Pain and former police Alicia Goni (Pain and Agoni/Agony, get it?) Since Agony left the PD, she’s a licensed PI, her latest case puts her on familiar turf. Agony goes to guys who do all things bad for a bit of grace. She learns there’s a contract on her life possibly by a police and no she can’t have the grace she wants.

Luckily, Pain is watching and listening to those same bad guys, maybe they’re related to his mysterious quest but he isn’t willing to watch Agony be slaughtered by at least a half dozen guns! In he crashes (like the original Shaft) through a window – not to save the day but to fight at her side. Make no mistake, Agony is not one for damselling! Considering her trust issues with the locals and his with the feds (though neither is guilty of anything) and they survivored a gunfight in an organized crime HQ, it’s time to beat feet. Doing good turns for each other is the start of a great team (I hope).

A good follow-up

But it's not as good as the first book.

While mystery and deceit still played a huge role in this story, the character development was somewhat lacking compared to the first book.

The relationship between Sophia and Alex was almost on pause for the entire book, with small snippets of them trying to get to know each other. The lack of interaction with other characters was almost odd.

Lily's character wasn't as fully developed as it could have been, which, I think, hurt the overall goal of some of the twists in this segment of the story.

Overall, this book read as a placeholder to allow the story to progress to the third book. And was slightly disappointing in it's lack of character development and the lack of relationship development between Alex's pack and Sophia.

Jaymin Snow delivers a pulse-pounding shifter romance in The Alpha’s Fated Bond, where fate, passion, and secrets collide. Sophia, a fierce yet vulnerable wolf, is as complex as they come, her strength masking heartbreak and a devastating secret—she’s the Silver Wolf being hunted by Alexis, an alpha torn between vengeance and an undeniable mate bond.

Their chemistry sizzles with tension as Alexis’s initial rejection of Sophia unravels into a raw, emotional struggle. Snow masterfully weaves forbidden love, high-stakes drama, and thrilling twists, creating a story that’s as fierce as it is heartfelt.

For fans of strong heroines, brooding alphas, and love forged in fire, The Alpha’s Fated Bond is a gripping, unforgettable read.

This book hits the ground running and doesn’t stop with the action pack scenes. The author does a great job keeping your attention with the action scenes. The writing seems a bit juvenile, so it’s a good fluff, light read for when you need something to read that’s not a deep world building series.
The betrayals in this book are eek! If you get attached to characters easily, especially emotionally, the betrayals will be a bit gut wrenching.
This is a good mix of fated mates, magic, and shifters! If that is your cup of tea, this series is worth a read.

Book two of this series

This is book two of three in the series of Sophia and Alpha Alex. They reach his territory after a long and dangerous journey. Alex, Sophia, and his men had to fight all the way. Once they reached the Half Moon Pack, more political situations began. Sophia, the poor thing, does not know much because she has been sheltered and not taught anything about her own clan or herself. I am enjoying the storyline but not so much all this hide everything from Sophia. Does she really need to learn everything the hard way? Most certainly not! I am upset on Sophia’s behalf. Read On!

This story hits the ground running and never stops. To understand what's happening you need to have read the first book in this series. There are plots within plots friendships forged and betrayals. Alex has accepted Sophia as his mate, but Sophia is struggling to believe that a true mate is possible for her. I don't want to give away any spoilers. this is a great read. I can't wait for the third book.

my cup of tea ~

I am a total sucker for a fated mates story and when the first book came out it HOOKED me in. I had binged a few of her other books earlier this year so this trilogy was a god send.

Book two is no different in terms of enjoyment ! The intense action scenes had me stressing for reals lol. The betrayals also had me stressing!

The impending war to come has me nervous for the next read but I can’t wait and I wish it would come out now 😢.

Attempting to Mend the Bond

The bond between Alex and Sophia is already fragile from the events of the first book. Trust was broken and re-forging it won't be easy, especially when she is framed for murder. Suspenseful and exciting, this story is filled with unexpected twists and turns as well as shocking betrayals. However, the conclusion to this story will have to wait for book 3, which I am highly anticipating.

Great book! MMC, Alex gets on my nerves. He's clueless. You'll have to read the book to understand.
Anyway, FMC rocks! Her powers are increasing with Lily the witch's help.
MC's finally arrive at Alex's pack. It's sad and depressing. All the pups stay in a section watched by evil nannies and guards who work for the evil queen, Karina.
Lots of exciting scenes and discoveries in this 2nd book in the series.
Everyone is looking for the silver wolf. Will FMC's hidden identity finally be found out? Read this book.

Exhilaratingly mystical

Wow . If I had followed some of the past review I wouldn’t have bought this book . The adventures were many and varied but one thing is certain it kept your interest . The different turns were not in anyway predictable . In fact my review title should have been predictable . The only part I foresee was Sophia being captured but the turn of events after was epic. Looking forward to the next book .

This book literally deserves 4.5-5 stars in my view.
I can't believe but only one book is left and this series will end.
I have read 2 books of the trilogy in almost 3 days and my god I don't think I will stop recommending this book to others.
Lately I have wanted to read books having werewolfs and I am super glad I came accross this book, I would love to have its physical copy for the fact that I read it online.

I thought book one was fantastic, but book two topped that one. From the very first page the reader is pulled back into story, and what a story it is. Non stop action, drama, betrayal, friendships found and lost, love - can’t wait for book three.

Better than the first book because we have some answers that make a lot more sense. But definitely don't expect what is said in the summary to happen - I'm fully convinced the summary is for a different writing of the book, because I scratched my head on a lot of stuff that it said in the summary that was totally different in the book.

Keeping me on my toes

I'm really enjoying this trilogy. I get so tense because I'm waiting for certain things to happen and then something happens that I wasn't expecting and then I'm glad that what I wanted to happen didn't. 😀. It's keeping me on my toes. On to book 3.

Très très bien

Super suite, j'ai commenté le premier tome avec un avis très partagé. Bon roman avec de belles intrigues et revirements. J'ai vais commencer le troisième tome et la traduction bien meilleure. En somme très positif.
