Clear Ridge Pack #1

The Alpha’s Fated Mate

Rate this book
It was only meant to be one night. One night for the omega who’s loved the big, powerful alpha ever since the pack merger two years ago, and one night for the alpha who’d given up on finding his destined mate and wants to sate his lust, hard and rough, with the little omega whose presence has always intrigued and aroused him.

Wyatt has spent nearly a century searching for his fated mate only to come up empty and now there’s no more time. The future of the Clear Ridge pack depends on the alphas breeding and replenishing the pack numbers, and he’ll do his duty even if it means giving up his search. He just never expected that the one night with the omega would produce an irrevocable bond between him and Seth, and as the wolf swells with his pups, he realizes that he wants more than just one hot, intense night with him.

2.5⭐, tops

Wow, I usually really like Mpreg, but in this story the Alpha was a total douchebag. Almost nothing here was appetizing except the first sex, after that the writing simply killed the story.

🟢 Omegaverse
🟣 Mpreg
🔵 Fated mates
🟡 Omega gay, Alpha straight
🌶️ Pretty good spice
🟠 No feeling of being destined
🟣 Gays are rare, Mpreg even more

In this Omegaverse several packs of werewolves joined together in the past to prevent extinction and now, decades later, they have to take care of the same problem again - which means the Alphas of all the packs have to find their (female) mates and procreate.

Seth is an Omega who's gay and has been in love with Wyatt, one of the hot, ripped Alphas for two years. When Seth finally gets the chance to spend the night with him, they have unprotected sex and Seth gets pregnant.

Now, until that point when Seth realised he was pregnant everything was great. The chemistry was there, the story was good, the sex was amazing! But when he contacts Wyatt and tells him he's pregnant?



First of all, Seth jumps into the idea of them living together, like - right now, right this minute! We don't know each other but hey, let me just get my toothbrush. They start living together because it's convenient.

Oh yes, Wyatt is all romance and flattery.
Seth is pregnant with his 5 pups and this is how Wyatt practices his romantic skills.

"Before you get as big as a hillside, we should go for a run."

"I've never been such a worrier until I had a mate as big as my pile of fears."

"I'm not going to get disgusted with you when --"
"If --"
"When you get bigger than you already are. I'll still want to bend you over or tie you to my bed until you're begging and whimpering."


And let's not forget --

"All those alpha abilities are sure going to come in handy in the next three months," Seth said with a small chuckle as he turned back onto his side and wriggled against me. He did it purposely knowing how much it tempted me."



Yeeaah, couldn't have anything to do with the fact Seth was heavily pregnant...right?
No, you see, it couldn't, because this Wyatt character's dick is hard all the time. It's exhausting! He turns left - bam! He turns right - bam bam! Hard all the fucking time, there isn't a thing he can do without having an erection. If it were at least hot! But it wasn't!

The way the fated mates part was interpreted in this story was completely not-believable. These guys should've known right from the start who's their mate, not just think about it a little bit and then realise - aha! I can feel it! It was there all the time, how didn't I get it, wow?! Because that's exactly what happened to Wyatt. You know, to the all powerful and mighty Alpha of the pack. And Seth had to get hit by a car (heavily pregnant!) for Wyatt to get it.
Right.

The love story didn't live up to its original potential, they really had it going on there for a while, but then the story just dived down into the volcano, over, finished, boring, awkward and not what I expected.


Do I even want to know what the next book will bring?

This was a typical mate/mine, mpreg story. Short, but not bad. This is the first read for me from this author. I will keep an eye out for the 2nd book in this series to see where this author may go.

Wow what a differance two years can make. Back in 2016 I wrote a review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... for
Heat where quite honestly, I was a judgy little thing. I think its quite funny that, not only did I specifically search out and read Mpreg book (which I claimed I would never do) But I found it quite enjoyable if very short.
I want to explore this genre more. Its facinating. I am disappointed that it wasnt explained how exactly Seth popped out 5 pups or how he was able to carry them in the first place but I guess thats what you get from a 60 page book.

So, as the summary says...

Wyatt, an Alpha has been waiting for his true mate has finally have to give up his dream. His pack needs him and everyone is waiting for him to take a mate, even if it isn't is one and only.

It changes after a night of passion with a sweet-smelling Omega named Ryan.

Ryan has been crushing after Wyatt and is excited he gets his chance(even if it is only one night) with Wyatt. He ends up pregnant.

Frankly, I don't remember a lot after that. It's been a few months since I read this story and the details didn't really stick with me.

I am sure if I want and skimmed it, more details would come back to me. Perhaps I will one day, if I choose to continue this series.

OMG its a Harlequin Romance Novel with werewolves! They meet, have hot sex, get pregnant, there is some miscommunication and than a HEA. As a woman who had read many many many Harlequin Romance Novels in the past I can tell you it was great reading this. Like a trip down memory lane. Ohhh...the miscommunications...normally I hate it. But in a Harlequin book it is part of the deal. So if you're in for a couple of hours of brainless fun with hot smexy times you need to read this shortie. But expect nothing more.

**Grammar**

Seth is an omega and ever since the pack merger 2 years ago he has been in love with the big and hadsome Alpha Wyatt. He is sure that the other wolf is his mate, but he doesnt have the guts to confess to the straight wolf(we dont know if Seth is gay or if he had previous experiences). Wyatt for over a century has searched for his mate, but now his time is running out. The pack needs heirs and all the Alphas need to marry and breed. In 3 days he will be mated with a woman and he will need to forget forever about his mate. The woman will become his mate and with time he will start to love her.

The other Alphas are having a bachelor party for him in a bar and when Wyatt sees Seth again. From the first time he saw the little wolf, months ago, he had always felt attracted to him. He has never felt something like that for another male. This should tell him something, but in the end he still doesnt understand what his wolf his trying to tell him.
He is surprised by his words when he asks Seth to have a one-night stand with him. He doesnt know that the omega loves him and Seth makes him believe that he loves another and agrees with the Alpha's suggestion. The sex scene is hot, like all the others in this book, and there are really a lot, but I couldnt understand how Wyatt wasnt aware that Seth was his mate, or how they were so stupid to not use protection. Seth is now pregnant and Wyatt asks him to live with him. Seth believes that the Alpha is doing this only for the pups (yes he will have 5 of them...wtf....) and that Wyatt is in love with someone else. There is a big misunderstanding going on here and all is clarified only after Seth gets hit by a car trying to run away from Wyatt, after he listens to him and his friend Hayden talking and misinterprets the words they are saying. In the end both him and the pups are ok, and finally the 2 idiots confess their feelings.

In the epilogue we see how Wyatt and Seth's pups are little devils always up to mischief. Seth is now pregnant again ( years passed since he had the first pups) and he will soon give birth to 6 more pups. WTF poor guy....they could make a football team.

The book was really short and had too much sex, and at start i really wanted to slap both the MCs bcs they were really morons, but all went well in the end, so 3 stars.

CJ Colton builds a world in which alpha werewolves can sometimes impregnate a male lover. If the lover is an Omega and his fated mate. The alphas are having a problem. Their packs are losing population. The older weres are dying off and there are not enough pups being born. The decision is made that they will choose a female to have pups with to insure the continuation of their line. The problem is, if they do that they are mated for life whether that female is the wolf intended for them as a fated mate. Alpha Wyatt has been searching for his mate for centuries, with no luck. When he comes across a little Omega and has sex with him it is supposed to be a one night stand but things turn out differently. What if the Omega knows Wyatt is his true mate but Wyatt thinks his is still searching? An interesting conundrum and one that may or may not be solved by the end of the first book. Good story, good world building.

Alpha Wyatt has been seeking his true mate for years with no luck. Now, the weres are dying out, and whether or not she's a true mate, Wyatt must pick a female and breed.
Seth is an omega and has always had the hots for Wyatt,so,when the pack has a bachelor party for Wyatt, Seth decides to drown his sorrows. Wyatt has always been intrigued by the omega, and on his last night offers Seth the night together.
Surprise! Seth turns up pregnant, Wyatt vows to do right by him, and that's when all the misunderstandings start. But there's hot sex and an HEA to this book. Some other reviewers thought this was a Harlequin-like story, and they weren't wrong.

A nice balance of heat and story, a sweetly sizzling romance incorporating werewolf mates, male pregnancy, and plenty of "misunderstanding" in a easy-to-read novella. I really liked both characters and the stumbling relationship, building from a one-night-hook-up to much more, was pretty nicely explored for a shortish book. The ending was a bit quick (with a potentially extreme crisis forcing a somewhat sudden resolution).

Overall, there definitely was sizzle between the sheets, but this had a bit more character, story and heart than I was expecting in an erotic short.

I have never read a M/M Pregnant Shifter romance before...and I regret not doing it sooner. I freaking loved it. It's so far out there in any believable fashion but that's what makes it so much better to read about. Seth was just too adorable for words. I loved how in love he was with Wyatt but was always too scared to do anything about it. Wyatt was a hot piece of ass. I liked how upset he was that he was going to have to mate to keep the pack going and not mate for love. But once Seth and Wyatt met....things definitely changed. I cant wait to keep reading this series!!!

Weird I stay clear of books with such low ratings, but I loved this. So glad I took the chance maybe it was my mood or something hmmm. This was short and fast. The best part was it held my interest so well that I didn't skip any of it.

The building of the world they lived in and second characters was pretty nil but I didn't miss it to much and I'am thinking it will come in later books. I am excited to give the next book a go I hope it will be a little longer :)

Ok. It wasn't the worst thing I've read. It was pretty cute. This has been my only mpreg and I guess if I had to have a first, I'm glad it was this. I don't think I'll make a habit of reading them. It's just too much for me. I typically also don't like these types of shifter stories because the insta-love is too much for me. Still, it was well written, and plenty fluffy for those that are into that kind of thing.

Nice read...

This was enjoyable...a good start to the series....the one thing that just didn't make sense to me was how Wyatt didn't realize that Seth was his mate...I mean u wait over a century for a mate and when u see him u don't know...even after he's pregnant with your pups u still don't know!! And there was no explanation for why...if it wasn't for that MAJOR dumbness I would have given it 5 stars....Off to book 2

This book is the epitome of sweet, sad, and sexy. Seth with his long lasting love for Wyatt and Wyatt stressing over needing to mate despite not having found his destined mate. I loved this and I know I will be reading it again!

Edited to add... I can't stop reading this book! I love their dynamic and chemistry. I've read this at least five times.... maybe more.

Rated entirely for my enjoyment of the book regardless of the overall content. I wanted an alpha and omega mpreg and I got it. This story focused only on that but in sparse details. There was very little if any attention paid to other factors but I enjoyed it for that reason. I like these two together.
