Bred Mate: A Dark Wolf Shifter Romance

by Loki Renard

The moment I tore off her panties, I knew she was mine.

She knows too much about our pack, so as alpha I made it my business to hunt her down. But when I caught her, she got more than just my belt across her bare ass. I gave her my knot too.

And my seed.

Because the girl who bucked and writhed and came until she screamed as I bred her isn't just a feisty she-wolf in need of taming.

She's my mate.

A riveting read where the tables were turned on the Alpha Wolf and he’s taken prisoner by a female wolf
Ellie had taken him by complete surprise not once but several times the initial time he had believed she was a human he was going to have to kill after she had seen a pack mate shift, imagine his surprise when she had taken him down and then stolen his car and made a run for it.
She had taken him again when he had knotted her and she had left him bleeding and naked on the roadside and had to call one of his pack mates he could trust to come to his rescue much to his amusement and now he is a car and a motorcycle down and he’s not laughing.
Then she offers to take him to her home where she asks him to help her with a logging company that is starting to chop down their ancient forest, Karl as usual responds with his usual brutal animal attitude and beats up the men working there.
Ellie and her brothers manage to take him prisoner and she telephones his younger brother Gray Dulac demanding a payment for his release and is surprised when there is no interest. Karl is not surprised and as the Alpha of New Orleans is ready to do whatever it takes to get free and get to Ellie.
As the story develops and he realises the importance of the land to Ellie and her ppack and begins to have feelings he has not known before things begin to change. I do not want to spoil the read for other so will stop there and let you discover the outcome for yourselves.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the wonderful writing.

Karl is alpha of the pack but has no interest in being it. He liked being he enforcer. Now everyone looks to him. UGH! Ellie needs to save her forest from the humans trying to demolish it. It wasn’t smart getting involved with Karl but he is the only one that can help. Even if it means taking him hostage. Yeah that isn’t going to work. When Karl first meets Ellie, he thinks she is human. WRONG. She is a wolf like him and has a great uppercut. These two have their little brawl but the passion is there. When Karl decides to help her, he realizes there is more to Ellie. Yes she is trying to save the land for her pack. But there are only four; herself and her brothers (Tim, Tate, and Connor).

This one keeps you on your toes. I am not sure who is the bad guy here. We have Ellie and her brothers living in the forest, trying to protect it. Karl fighting being alpha. When he decides that he will help her, he does it all brute force. Ellie wants it done right. But things get really complicated. The company doesn’t want to sell. They are looking to make a profit. We have surprises at every turn. The past comes smacking us on the face. This is one crazy group.

Sometimes things aren’t as they seem so get comfortable you are going to be a moment reading this one. Karl sexy as all get out alpha of the New Orleans pack he isn’t an office man, doesn’t really listen to the pack matters, more hands on who to kill, when to kill kind of guy and they live by a rule they can’t allow humans know they exist when that happens well action needs to be taken. Ellie was assumed to be human she knew what wolf packs did to humans, so she decided to allow them to believe she was human because she needed the alpha’s help to save their forest so tricked him by taking him down, then stealing his car, only to after taking his knot leaving and then taking him prisoner. The magnetic pull is there but make sure to buckle up this roller coaster ride is wild will he help her with her issue, is there more the two of them than just her needing his help, what is with the brother’s relationship, will they come to some type of agreement, and where are they headed?

I hate when I story turns out to be absolute garbage at the end. 😖

This was trash. And it waited until the end to reveal itself as trash. That means I enjoyed a silly, raunchy little ditty for pages and pages and pages and in the final hour, Author c*nt punched me in the vergita. Bad people who do bad things (that include forcible marriage with the high likelihood of 🍇 and violence) don’t deserve tea at the end of the story (which is literally where I DNF’d it with mere pages to go. It’s 2 in the morning and I didn’t wanna go to sleep mad). I actually had a weirdly violent, visceral reaction to the direction the story took towards the end and I can pretty much stomach endless amounts of spicy drivel. This was just…horrible. Highly don’t recommend. This author has better work and this is NOT it.

Not bad

H: Karl Dulac- Enforcer now Alpha of New Orleans
h: Ellie
Ellie goes to the city to find help trying to get her forest back which was sold by the old New Orleans alpha to a rich human who is trying to build a mall. While trying to find the help she needs, she meets Karl who instantly is taking back by her beauty and decides they are mates. She agrees to give him a child IF he gets her forest back. This is where the story gets a little "weird" I should say. So, Karl tries to buy the land which the owner declines. Then we find out that her mom is the secretary of the human who is trying to destroy her forest. A lot happens in this short story. It really doesn't talk about Karl doing any alpha duties or anything like that. The story is not bad, I just wish it had more info. Not bad though if you want a quick story to pass the time.

To enjoy this book, you’ll want to suspend your disbelief a bit. It’s full of lively characters, crazy situations, and wild events that can sometimes feel a little over the top. The MMC might come across as tough, but he certainly has his tender moments too. I was surprised when he fell for her — she’s the one who can truly handle him. He declared her as his own and made it clear whenever he could, even promising he'd breed her. What I loved most was the ending: our alpha has grown and the mate has been tamed. The final chapter might just be the beginning of the legacy they'll leave for their children.

Would you trade a baby to help your only family survive in the only home you know?

Ellie, no last name since its a 'human thing', and Karl Dulac, New Alpha of New Orleans, his father retired and gave Karl the title. But he's not built for the title since he's more of a hands on killer then office and listening to pack matters. Ellie is needing help saving her little pack and her target is the very alpha she can knock down several times but he can do the same to Ellie on his knot.... Will Ellie get the help she needs?? Will Karl get the heir he needs? Will the past come back to show their faces??

This is not your grandma’s shifter romance

I absolutely loved this story. It’s well written and presented in a style that made it an absolute joy to read. I loved that Ellie had an attitude and it made me laugh out loud at times. It did not take her long to work her way into Karl’s heart and I think it was a surprise to a lot of people that he even had a heart. The banter between the two of them was hilarious at times and 🔥at others. There are unexpected surprises along the way and danger seems to be close. It’s a great story that is worth reading.

Ellie, a surprising shifter, stuns Karl, a New Orleans Alpha, by taking him down after witnessing a pack mate shift, stealing his car, and later leaving him stranded after a passionate encounter. When she asks for his help against a logging company threatening her pack’s ancient forest, Karl brutally attacks the workers. Ellie and her brothers capture him, but his brother Gray refuses to pay for his release. As Karl grows to understand Ellie’s connection to the land and develops new feelings, their dynamic shifts. A gripping read, leaving you eager for more.

An emotional journey. Karl inherited the alpha position from his father that retired and he is not happy about it. He was an enforcer for his father and killing is all he knows. He is going to kill a human that found out about wolves and she gets the best of him. Ellie has been on her own and taking care of her brothers since she was twelve years old. A corporation is cutting the forest where they live to put up a mall. She kidnaps Karl to ransom him to his family and they refuse to pay. A story full of humor, betrayal, and growing.

This is Karl and Ellie's story. Ellie needs help with logging in her packs area, so she decides to make a deal with the alpha of New Orleans. Kar doesn't like being alpha but after his men mess up thinking Ellie's a human and he chases her to discover the truth, he makes a deal with her. The interactions with her mom make the book.

what a mess

The book is short but dragged on. It was hard to stay focused on it, too. The main characters going from enemies who sleep together to being a couple with no real relationship developing. The MFC keeps taking hostages to try and keep land from being developed and then the MMC shows up to bed her. Rinse and repeat.

[Lisa Roberts · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a fast paced story with very intense characters that will keep you on your toes. Karl is on a mission that he thinks he will accomplish but Ellie has other plans she will so anything to protect her own.
Lots of action, laughs with unique situations they are both the same powerful and dangerous and fit so well together. Karl does have a heart and when it comes out sigh.
I loved it .

Couldn’t put it down…
Karl and Ellie are more alike than either would care to admit. Each are a bit feral and they tend to act before thinking. They are also ferocious when it comes to protecting their own… I received a free copy of this book. This review was posted voluntarily.

❤️🔥🤣

Well, if this book doesn't keep you entertained from page 1 to the end, I don't know what will.
Great quirky characters, banter, humor, sex, action, conflict, and a great storyline!!!!

[Brenda A · Rating 1 out of 5]

Really stupid

It's not the spankings it's just that the book is so stupid from beginning to end the story makes no sense the rough scenes were overdone. Not much of a romance when the MFC wants to murder innocent humans. I would not recommend

[Gladys · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book. Karl and Ellie's romance is filled with intensity, steam, drama, emotion, action and twists that kept me entertained and invested as things progressed.

Stupid story.

[Harlem Motley · Rating 5 out of 5]

I think this was my favorite out of the 2 books!! omg the Family surprises and secrets!!! *squeals*

The Chemistry between Karl and Ellie was like fireworks! It was hard to put it down!!

[Cristi · Rating 1 out of 5]

I didn't get past the first few chapters; not interested in the characters and therefore the story.

[Samantha · Rating 2 out of 5]

I wasn't really feeling a ton of chemistry between the MCs. The spicy scenes were also underwhelming and repetitive.
