Wolf's Mate: A Brethren's Legacy Novella

by Debra Elise

KEIR
The time has come to claim his mate.

It's been a decade since the witch ran from their first meeting, ensuring that they both slowly spiral into a madness that has but one cure—mate or pay the consequences. And then there's the matter of his mission with his five brothers, and a Duke of Hell determined to keep them from succeeding.

A day doesn't go by that Keir doesn't curse The Fates that tied him to a woman who wants nothing to do with him. Not even the abilities he inherited from his parents, making him more than man, more than wolf, but not quite god or a nothing will give him relief until she accepts their destiny.

Rhia
My life. My rules. And they don't include the grumpy wolf-shifter who claims the fate of the world rests on us getting busy—for life.

Misunderstood her entire life, Rhia left her mother's coven to use her magic on her own terms. Plagued by visions since running from the shifter who claimed he was her mate, a mysterious group is now after her and the good-luck potion she created.

Convinced she doesn't need anyone, least of all the sinfully tempting Keir Smythe who thinks she needs rescuing, she now has a life altering decision to make—her potion, her life or the mate she can't keep her thoughts, or her hands, off of.

Wolf's Mate is Book 2 of Gods, Monsters, and Magic Series. It's a short and steamy, fated mate, paranormal romance. Keir is a hunky, grumpy wolf shifter. Rhia is a sassy and headstrong witch. The two are fated mates, but Rhia ran 10 years ago, determined to live and love on her own terms. They cross paths in Las Vegas when Keir saves her from a Demon. The two have been dreaming of each other for 10 years and will eventually go mad if the mate bond is refused. Will Rhia give in?? The chemistry was hot, and we ended on a happy note, but this was a roller-coaster ride. Expect love, drama, demons, witches, and other magic. It was great!.

Keir and Rhia’s Story . . .

Wolf shifter Keir Smythe is not pleased that the witch Rhia, his fated mate, ran from him and has stayed away 10 years, despite the visions that keep the tormenting memory alive. When they eventually turn up in the same place together, Keir rescues her from demons. He will find no peace, however, unless she will accept their destiny to be together. Is she ready to take him as her mate? Or will she continue to resist?

A quick but satisfying addition to this series as Keir finally catches his on the run mate, Rhia. I recommend reading the first story in this series as they are interconnected and it will enhance your enjoyment of this one. Demons, stubbornness, prophecy, fate mate desires, hot tension, patience, potions, banter, acceptance, and love make this an exciting read! Can’t wait for next book!.

I have been waiting for this book to come out and it didn’t disappoint me! Loved this book about Keir who is a wolf shifter and Rhia that is a witch. They are fated mates but Rhia has been running away from her mate due to the prophecy her mom told her about. The couple meets in Las Vegas where Keir saves Rhia from demons that were sent by the Duke of Hell. If you love a short read, paranormal romance, prophecies, and fated mates, this is the book for you. I was pulled in immediately and couldn’t put the book down. Can’t wait for the next book to continue the story!.

"Was this what love felt like?....

...The bone deep need to protect, wrapped up in fear, and encased within an impenetrable layer of constant longing to ensure his mate was happy and pleasured"

Wow! Who knew Keir was so good with words? And whilst Rhia finds it difficult to resist his words, she finds it downright impossible to resist the mating bond that only gets stronger the longer they are together.
I really like this series, I love that all the brothers are different shifters, but all their mates are witches, it's a fun twist as they race to find their mates, the missing tablets and the predicted future that includes them all....if they can locate their mates in time.
Keir really has his work cut out for him, Rhia has been running for ten years, he finally finds her only to find the demons have also located her too, he thinks he will have to rescue them both. But he should know better than to underestimate his sassy and feisty mate! She has a trick or two up her sleeve to help his wolf gain the upper hand.
I really enjoyed this addition to the series and look forward to the next book and brother. I read this on Kindle Unlimited.

This is a great short read. If you are into paranormal romance this is for you. We have shifters, witches, demons, Gods and Goddesses, and aliens. It has a little for everyone.
Kier has been looking for his mate for ten years. He has finally found her but he is not the only one looking. He must protect her and convince her they belong together.
Rhia escaped her coven and she is not about to have her free will taken from her. Can she avoid the mare attraction?
Expect steam, romance, intrigue and danger.

Rhia's mother told her that Keir was her fated mate and she ran. Keeping hidden from both her mother and Keir was a full time job. But that is the price she has to pay to keep her free will. Hiding in the frenetic energy of Las Vegas has worked for the last ten years but her luck has run out.

Keir was giving Rhia space to get used to the idea of having a fated mate but time has run out and he needs to keep her safe.

Two strong personalities clashing whilst demons are endangering their safety.

A wonderful fast paced, steamy fated mates romance.

Rhia lived in Vegas, but the demons caught up with her just as her mate,Keir, did. He scooped her up and away they went. She was not happy, but both admitted they had been having dreams about each other for 10 years. Their mating was everything they both had wanted. Those demons just won't stop trying to stop them, but they succeeded this time. A good story with more to come.

After ten long years Keir, has finally found his mate Rhia. This is a fast paced novella with shifters and witchcraft, great banter as these two get to know one another and help fulfill the prophecy. Like all the unexpected moments and visitors that add chaos to this whole series. Excited for the next brother to find his destiny.

Rhia a witch and Keir a wolf shifter are fated mates but she's trying to avoid him. They have been dreaming about each other for ten years until destiny steps in and their dreams become a reality. Wolf's Mate is book two and a great addition to the Gods, Monsters, and Magic series and I look forward to reading the rest of this paranormal series. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

An exciting addition to the series.

Book 2 of the fascinating new series Gods, Monsters, and Magic gives us Keir and Rhia’s story. He’s a wolf shifter that is at the right place and time when he bumps into Rhia his witch mate after waiting for so long. But she is stubborn and has been running to avoid the mating until she has no choice. What happens next was an exciting addition to the series and I can’t wait for more.

Rhia and Keir have joined the prophecy!

Loved Rhia's feisty side! There is something to be said for a prophecy bringing 2 people together in a short span of time! Nothing was stopping Keir from claiming his mate.
