Defended

by Leona Crowley

Rogue wolf shifter, Kayla, refuses to submit to any man. Wolf shifter, Timothy, loves the bachelor lifestyle. Fighting from the moment they meet, does fate have this match wrong?

Wolf shifter Kayla Archer lives by her own rules. Bad history with the wrong wolf pack has convinced her that men are the enemy. And pack living is not for her. To get in out of the cold, Kayla reluctantly chooses to help a hurt human female get home to her alpha mate. Unaware that the reward waiting for her at the end might be more than she bargained for.

Timothy Landry is one of the top deltas in the wolf-shifter Blackpaw Pack. Protecting the pack is his number one priority. His bachelor lifestyle is number two. Built for action with an attitude to match, he’ll take a night out on the town over claiming a mate any day. That is until Kayla shows up and challenges all that he thought he knew about love.

Timothy and Kayla fight with each other, and against fate, from the moment they meet. While Timothy slowly warms to the idea of being mated, Kayla isn’t convinced. Bags packed, she’s ready to hit the road without looking back.
With threats against the pack on the horizon, can they come to a truce long enough for the mating bond to unite them? Or will this unlikely pair destroy the pack from within?

Loved it. Kayla is a strong female that went through alot ot hardships that shape the way she is. She's tough guarded and a rogue by choice. Her past experiences with pack life and men weren't good ones. So when fate brings her to her mate her walls go up with the need to protect herself from the entrapment that it entails. Timothy is Tannner's twin total opposite of his twin. He's strong and stubborn and doesn't want to be mated cause he doesn't want to be weakened by the emotions that come with a mating bond. These two head butt alot but they can't fight the mating bond that keeps on pulling them toward each other. My oh my does she put him through the wringer while she's trying to protect herself he tries to fight for her but she's not the only one with her guard up and waiting for the other shie to drop.
Read on to find out what happens with these two.

Kayla and Timothy's Story . . .

Rogue wolf shifter Kayla Archer had a bad history with a former wolf pack. Now she chooses independence and lives by her own rules. When she helps an Omega woman get to her mate, she ends up meeting her own mate!

Timothy Landry is a protective Delta in the Blackpaw Pack. Although his pack is his top priority, his bachelor life is a close second. He is not interested in a mate. Then he meets Kayla and the two of them strongly resist Fate by arguing and fighting. Even when Timothy starts getting used to the idea of a mate, Kayla still wants no part of it and is ready to leave. With danger waiting, will she reconsider and stay with her mate? Can she begin to learn to trust him?

Fearful and feisty


When fear rules your entire life you are not living just existing and if you are afraid to give anyone a chance how can they give you anything at all ? This is part of a series and can be read as a stand alone ( you will miss out on lots of side references but the main story is still engaging ) Love the very feisty heroine who gives even her unwanted mate a lot to think about .Each story in the series is different and adds to the rich tapestry of pack life and this one brings together lots of answers and even more questions Great series

Kayla is a rogue, escaping bad clans and alphas who hurt women. In helping a woman get back to her mate, she comes across Timothy, her mate, but neither are ready to anything like that. The characters are so intense with feelings and emotions. Backstories give them extra depth and determination. This series has me hooked and this is the best of the series so far. The surprises and twists add so much to the situations they find themselves in. Loved the ending and the realizations.

Well, this one was a little different in that neither one wanted a mate. And poor Ashley, always on the wrong end of a situation, I think she needs to just stay on Blackpaw territory. I do hope with only a couple of pack members still unmated that there will be enough time to wrap up the High Alpha prophecy.

Timothy and Kayla

Hopefully I can post this review since the others didn't work. First, I am in love with all of your stories now. They're all exciting, loving, a little comical and absolutely fantastic. Kayla and Timothy are perfect together. They're equals. I'm looking forward to seeing how each character grows and seeing the Blackpaw Pack get stronger and stronger together. On to the next book. 😉

Kayla had bad experiences in the packs she had been and with the alphas mistreating the females to escape she went rouge. Helped a high alpha omega get back to her pack and found Timothy her mate, they were both trying to deny the mating call. She had to learn to trust her wolf. Things fell into place finally. Good book!

The sixth book in the Blackpaw Prophecy series a story that held my interest until the end. Rogue wolf shifter, Kayla and Wolf shifter, Timothy's story, neither one of them wants a mate. The prophecy still has not happened. I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Kayla has been hurt so much that she doesn't want to trust anyone let alone a mate. Timothy wants life to keep going as it is and doesn't want a mate to interfere with it. They are perfect for each other. Their love story was sad and beautiful. Learning to love is hard let alone after you've been through so much. What she went through was crazy. I enjoyed this.

Enjoyable story with a great cast of characters. In the first half it constantly jumps point of view, which initially makes things a little hard to follow for new readers but does catch you up on the series.

When I started reading this story, I could not put it down. I read the book in one day. This author is an awesome writer. I cannot wait to read more of their books. Keep up the great work. You should definitely read this book.

Hello Timothy !!!!!

Good series, another well written story in the lives of "The Blackpaw Prophecy" pack, as the suspense, mystery, strong alpha men/wolves and the women whose their fated mate continues so do I . Again a great shifter series.

Annoying mcs

I'm invested in the overall story arc but otherwise I would not still be reading and still I'm skimming a lot. At least some earlier
books had mainly one annoying MC but nothing made me like either one here.

Just a bit off

I still enjoyed reading this but did get a bit fed up of the repetitive telling of each persons experience I kept skipping pages as I still needed to see how it went .
