Destiny of the Wolf

Pack Loyalty #3

by Amelia Shaw

A lone wolf finds his mate, but she's the last woman he expected to fall for.

Kara is lonely. Her brother's mated up and her best-friend is busy running the pack. But she has her art, and her family, and that should be enough. But when Allara askes her to go to the neighboring pack and broker a peace deal, Kara can't think of anyone worse suited for the job. But she does what her Alpha askes her to do, and she meets with the Alpha-born Ronan. A man she is sure is meant to be her mate. If only he'd realize it too.

Alpha-born wolf shifter Ronan, ran away when the mantel for leader became his to claim. He has no interest in pack politics or the hierarchy he was bred on. Fated mates aren't real, and being responsible for another life is the last thing this Alpha wants.

But when Ronan's pack is in danger of being taken over, and his brother's life hangs in the balance, will he revert to type and run... or risk his own life for those he loves?

You know. I don’t understand how any pack can function with all the testosterone alpha manly men around all the dainty sweet and innocent beta girls. What’s that saying? Too many chefs, not enough cooks?

This is book three of the Pack Loyalty series and the main characters are Kara and Ronan. Kara is part of the Bane clan and their alpha and her best friend, Allara is due to have her baby any day now and has asked Kara to accompany her mate Reid on a visit to the neighbouring Thornwood clan, in a hop to broker a peace deal between their packs. When they arrive at the packs home, it is nothing like she expected or like their own, with a wall all around the place and high watchtowers at every corner! Their Alpha is absent and they are met by elder Frey and Kit, the alpha’s younger brother. It seems the alpha Ronan hadn’t gone too far and soon turns up in his wolf form, in the middle of the village. He had run away from his own alpha ceremony and not been back until these visitors arrived. When Kara sees Ronan’s naked form, she can’t look away and knows he is her mate, if he would even believe in such things. He doesn’t even believe he should be the alpha of their pack, believing his younger brother is more suited to the role. Ronan is the first born of the alpha of the pack and it should be him taking responsibility for his pack, but he never wanted it and ran away from pack politics, leaving that to the Elder. But seeing their visitors arriving has pushed him into action and he wants to keep Kara in his home. Reid isn’t happy about it, but his mate is about to have their baby and he needs to go home. Kara agrees to stay and do as her alpha wanted her to and to get them to find some alliance between their packs.
Someone tries to dissuade Kara away from the feeling that Ronan could be her mate, which almost works. A wolf without a pack, Naomi, could cause problems for Kara, as she did when she tried to take Kara’s brother as her mate. Another problem from the Bane pack will be coming to cause further issues for the Thornwood pack and for Kara. Ronan may have returned and his pack look to him for leadership, knowing him and trusting him to do what is right for their pack. Kara starts to imprint her own touch on the alpha home that Ronan and Kit share, brightening up matters for them all with her homely touches. When Ronan’s pack is suddenly under attack, in the middle of the night, Kara and Kit accompany him to find out what is happening. It seems there is a traitor inside the pack, who has let rogue wolves into their stronghold, with one of them challenging for the position of alpha and control of the pack itself! Kit’s life ends up in danger as he can’t control his shift, and is attacked by numerous rogue wolves. Ronan has to choose whether to help his brother or give up control of the pack and run away as he has before. Kara gets on the wrong end of his anger after this close call and all seems to be lost between them. What Ronan’s destiny will be and whether Kara will have any part in his role, is to be decided at the end. Destiny was already written, but youth can make such responsibility put a huge pressure on the individual and childhood comments have a big part in that. An interesting story of unexpected mates and a destiny not really wanted, but best suited to. I received an ARC copy of this book from BookSprout and I have freely given my own opinion of the book above.

Absolutely loved this one! The connection between Kara and Ronan was sweet and wonderful! Loved the premise for this one; wolf shifter Kara is asked by her alpha, Allara, to take her place in visiting a neighboring pact to reinforce alliances after the neighboring pack lost their alpha. Kara is a bit reluctant because she’s on the shy side, but she’ll do anything for her pregnant best friend/Alpha Allara. There she meets next in line alpha Ronan; these two wolf shifters instantly feel the soulmate connection, but they are strangers, so they have a lot to learn about each other. Kara ends up staying with this new pack all on her own, and the connection between Kara and Ronan develops deeper as the story progresses. There’s some fun danger and action to the story as well! I just loved the whole overall vibe to this story! Both characters are likable, and I just love the honesty and openness right from the start with these two! Entertaining, sweet, and some steam! I’m down for more books in this series!

Okay do you remember Kara. She is Elora best friend and Jason's sister. So here we learn a lot about Kara. She feels like one of a kind, you know not like everyone else. She has different likes and is content with quiet solitude. So when her friend ask her to go to another clan to see about securing an alliance she is hesitant but does it because her friend asked her to. Even though she said yes, she has the feeling that something is going to happen. Something is unsettling to her. Then we have Ronan who just recently became the alpha. Unfortunately he split right before he was suppose to take the mantle. Why? Well when Kara shows up, he comes back to the pack. When they meet it is like something snaps in place. The question is will Ronan mess this chance up. Does he know what she really means to him. Kara can't put her finger on it but something pulls her to him and she feels comfortable. Will she let other people put things in her head or will she make her decisions on her own. Check it out to see how it ends.

'Destiny Of The Wolf' by Amelia Shaw is the third book in her Pack Loyalty series and tells the story of Ronan, a lone wolf shifter who has shunned his leader status and all aspects of the clan, and Kara, a lonely wolf shifter who has to broker a peace deal with Ronan's clan. Kara meets with Ronan and realises he is her mate. However, he is choosing to fight their fate.

Ms. Shaw has written a wonderful addition to her series. This book is full of sizzling chemistry between the main characters from the beginning. There is plenty of suspense, drama, action, great dialogue, and plenty of steam. I really enjoyed this story and recommend it to everyone who likes a sassy heroine and reculent alpha on their way to an HEA.

Kara saw her best friend become alpha of their clan. Now she wanted Kara to visit the nearby clan because she could not with a newborn. Kara meets Ronan and they are fated mates, but Ronan has been told his whole life that he is worthless and will not become alpha as his younger brother will be instead. Ronan is fighting against all he has been taught over the years and the elder is the worst of them. Well, Ronan has a lot more alpha leadership than they thought as terror arrives and a fight has begun.
The characters are full of intense feelings and longings. The storyline has plenty of surprises and twists, as well as deception, intrigue and family issues. Loved the way Kara and Ronan meet in the middle of the creek that separates their two clan territories. The ending was perfect.

This is a NON-SPOILER REVIEW of Destiny of the Wolf by Amelia Shaw. This third book in the Pack Loyalty series is Kara and Ronan's story. Fast paced with splashes of danger and drama, the fates of the Bane Clan and the Thornwood Clan become intermingled. When Allara is unable to accompany her mate Reid to a meeting with the neighboring clan, Kara is sent in her place to act as an ambassador. When Kara and Ronan meet and discover they are fated mates their pairing sets in motion treachery, redemption, personal growth and a love story that is hot and messy. A great addition to the series that has an HEA.

This very well-written Book 3 in The Pack Loyalty Book Series is an interesting Wolf shifter, alpha not looking to mate, lonely girl story with very well-thought out scenes and storyline. These characters have very strong wills and personalities and their interactions are realistic, even his tendency to run when the going gets rough. This intriguing story has the following: intrigue, twists, turns, adventure, action, danger, love, steam and a HEA. It is a well-paced, wolf shifter book that will keep you engaged from start to finish. A must read

part of a series


This is a stand alone story that also forms part of a series . Love, fear, betrayal , overcome all that to find acceptance and then you can start to live. A fast paced story with lots of old friends as supporting characters ( for those who have read the earlier books ) A new pact, a new clan and lots of new beginnings . If you like shifter romance stories you are going to love this one

It was okay, but I didn’t really feel the connection between the protagonists. There wasn’t much chemistry between them, even though they were nice and likable characters.

The story felt flat and somewhat boring, though the message about recovering on your own with the strong support of those around you is a positive one.

That said, it wasn’t exactly what I was looking for. I was expecting a cute, short story about the beginning of a relationship, but the fact that they are shifters doesn’t really add much to the plot.

The third book in the Pack Loyalty series a well written story with a very good storyline that kept me turning pages. Alpha-born wolf shifter Ronan has been told all his life he was not good enough to be the Alpha of his pack. Kara goes with her brother Reid to Ronan's pack to broker a peace deal. I enjoyed seeing these two get their happy ending. I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Destiny of the Wolf: Pack Loyalty series book three continues the story. Kara goes to a neighboring pack to form an alliance as she was asked by the Alpha (Allara) of her pack that was about to give birth. Kara meets Ronan the Alpha to be of the Thornwood Clan and realizes they are fated mates. Ronan has doubts about being the Alpha. I love the main character dynamics with some steam.

Kara and Ronan's Story . . .

Kara is asked to go to another pack to reinforce an alliance with them when they had lost their alpha. Ronan, who wanted no part of pack politics, had recently become next in line as the pack’s alpha, but he ran away. When Kara arrived, he came back to the pack. Both of them recognized each other as mates. But there is something going on in the pack. Will Ronan accept his role? Will he accept his mate?

[Misty Ortman · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is book 3 in the Pack Loyalty series. It tells how Ronan and Kara end up together. Ronan had taken off on the day of his coronation which caused a power struggle for all the packs. Kara was sent in place of her Alpha, Allara, to the Thornwood pack. Which how Ronan and Kara meet. This book is really good! There is a lot that happens. The characters are wonderful!

Kara thinks she is content until she goes to broker a peace deal. She did not want to do it but her alpha asked her too. She meets with Reid and knows he is her mate. Reid though does not believe in Fated Mates and it is not something he wants. Events will begin to occur having him change his mind quickly. Turn the pages on finding out what occurs to change things.

That was a nice story. I enjoyed it very much. There was some trouble in the begging something in the air not quit there but something. I liked the way Ronan reacted to Kara and she to him.

Allara can't go on a visit to a neighboring pack, so she sends her best friend instead. That best friend meets her fated mate on the visit and doesn't return home.

There's drama because her mate is the older son of the former alpha and hasn't claimed his position. But with her around he realizes that he does love and care for the pack and IS an alpha.
