The Raven Wolf King: Wolfless : Book 1-Part 1

The Raven Wolf King: Wolfless #1

by Norisha May

“Wolfless and worthless—that is what you are, Valeria.”

Worthless. Stupid. A waste of space. That is what they all called me.

“You’ll be rejected. No male in his right mind will ever want you.”

And they were right. My love story begins with rejection.

“You are wolfless. You are the dirt beneath our feet.”

Wolfless? Yes, I was born without a wolf soul. But I am more than that. My bloodline carries magic, and soon they will all learn how worthless I truly am.

***

“Let me love you, Valeria.”

“You can’t.”

“Yes, I can—and I will. You are mine now. Reject the idea all you want, you have no choice. I will love you.”

“You're the one who rejected me.”

Raphael’s hand clamps gently on my chin, forcing me to meet his eyes. “Don’t run from me again.” He doesn’t even acknowledge my words. “You should know better than to run from an Alpha.”

“What do you want?”

“I wanted to speak with you, but now…” His voice drops as he leans close, his nose brushing my ear. “Now I want you on your knees…taking me all in.”

Shock floods me, but the image forms in my mind, and my knees weaken. My body doesn't hate the thought. I want to be angry at this man for what he did, but desire burns too strongly.

I close my eyes, turn away, but when I dare look back, his gaze is raking down my body, slow and possessive. If I don’t escape, this man will own me.

Be bold, Valeria. He broke us.

My hand rises, pressing against his chest. He doesn’t move. I drag it upward, caressing his chest until I reach his neck. His eyes never leave mine. I slide my hand to his chin, pulling him closer, and whisper against his lips, “You broke this. You shattered our bond. You don’t get to have me now. Someone else will.”

I release him, pushing just enough to slip free of his grasp. As I walk away, his voice follows, “A mistake I will never make again. I’ll have you. I will win your heart, my beutiful mate.”

book 1 in series

Great reading. Love the flow, keeps your attention, twists and turns for plots suspenseful and toe twisting. A must read.

3.75 I think. I am actually not certain how I feel about this series. I read all three but the main characters kind of annoyed me, especially Valeria constantly jumping to conclusions regarding Raphael and going to the extremes. I think the one I liked the most in the whole story was Grimm. He was the most sensible out of the whole lot and even then, there were times I was groaning at his actions too. I might come back to this review because I am still undecided. It almost bordered on the miscommunication trope which is an immediate DNF for me.

I like this story, it’s interesting. There’s this part- a page or two, where descendants and ancestors repeatedly get mixed up which is annoying. And sometimes the smut seems a little off, or weird, but the plot about the ravens is really really interesting. Still trying to puzzle out if she’s a descendant of the raven wolf king or his reincarnation and how, but it’s really interesting. It’s definitely not a coincidence she’s fated mates with the descendant of the high king that killed the raven wolf king. Going to keep reading so we shall see.

Couldn’t put down

I am about to purchase the next one. I loved this and came across this on an ad in another reading app. I started it last night and couldn’t put it down. Love it and all the weird twists. Can’t wait to find out more about how it all ties in to Grimm, The Ravens and Raphael.

Valeria

This section is well written and the plot acceptable. I can't wait for the second section. Ms. May has a great imagination.

Love the storyline.

There is something satisfying about watching a woman carved from pain coming into her own. On to the second book!!

This is a new author for me and of course, a new series, and I loved it!
What a strong female main character!
It's funny and serious and fabulous all at once!

fun!

Valeria’s confidence and fear are portrayed beautifully. Raphael’s psychotic breaks over her are just plain fun. Can’t wait to continue.

So Good!

So far I really like this book! The only thing that is annoying is Valaria and her back and forth when it comes to Raphael. I get she’s been hurt a lot but come on now.
