Moon River Heartbreaker

Exiled Pack #4

by Fel Fern

An Omega chained down by his past. An Alpha who will do everything in his power to set him free. Two flawed souls. Unexpected mates.

Stephen Marshall is a pregnant Omega trapped in the skin of his wolf. A monster left Stephen scarred for life. Stephen might’ve escaped one hell, but he’s far from fixed. Everyone believes he’s a lost cause, that he’s only holding on until his baby is born. Everyone but Dom. Dom sees him—really sees him. The Alpha doesn’t care about his flaws or his insecurities. Dom offers him everything, but Stephen doesn’t believe he’s worthy of Dom’s love.

Alpha Dom Morton has resigned himself to a life of loneliness. Raised in a lawless pack of monsters, Dom knows he’s not suited to be anyone’s mate. After meeting Stephen, Dom wants more. Dom doesn’t care that the baby growing in Stephen’s belly isn’t his. Stephen is his to protect and cherish. Working with unwanted animals taught Dom he’s more than a killer. That he’s capable of caring for others, but is he ready to become Stephen’s mate?

Moon River Heartbreaker is a Mpreg romance that features two damaged and reluctant wolves—a big-hearted but lonely Alpha and a lost but strong Omega who’s sick of being broken. This is book four in the Exiled Pack series.

So many instances of incorrect words I lost count!

Story - 3 Use of proper words correctly - 1
I am giving up and will not read the 5th and final book! Third graders write better than this mess.

Action packed and learning to trust again
Pregnant Wolf shifter Omega Stephen and his friend Max had escaped a life of hell. Here they have been held prisoner at a shifter cult. It was a camp full of Alphas who used the Omega’s for their own use. And Colton the lead alpha was pure evil. He got Stephen pregnant in the hope that he will give birth to a alpha son. Thankfully they escaped. And they were making their way to his brothers animal sanctuary. Oh did I forget to mention that Stephen was lost in his wolf self. He hadn’t been his human self for awhile and was worried that he might go feral but he needed to make sure the baby is safe first.
when Dom got a call to say Lee’s brother Stephen was out there alone, he went out to find him. He knew there was a story there but first he had to find him. And when he found him he instantly became protective of him. Which was a new feeling for him. Thankfully Stephen saw something in him and they connected. Dom instantly wanted to keep him and the baby safe.
Became obvious quickly that they were fated mates but could you keep him safe if Clayton came looking for him??
I really enjoyed the story there is something very special about Dom and Stephen’s relationship. And I really really enjoyed the fact that Stephen confidence grew as the Book went on and as he Saw the changes in Dom. The family were amazing as they excepted both Max and Stephen straight away.
But I’m going to have to admit that I am super excited about the next book in the series because I’m really hoping that this will be Riley and Max’s story. Because that one is going to be a Explosive.

Finding acceptance and love heals two broken men

Dom and his brother Riley have been enigmas in the first three books but both have fascinated me. This is Dom's story and I couldn't have been happier for him to find his mate once I found out what he and Riley have been through and how badly it has affected them and coloured every aspect of their lives.
Stephen has been mentioned in previous books as Lee's brother and now he finds his way to Moon Burrow, sorely in need of help from Lee. What he actually finds is Dom and his life changes instantly for the better. Meeting your fated mate and finding out that he accepts everything about you, regardless of how broken and ashamed you feel because of it, sets Stephen on the road to recovery.
I love both these men and how they interact. Stephen reminds me of Caden when he first met Lee, not afraid of their Big Bad Alpha mate and definitely not scared to tell their man what they need.
I also love that Lee has not had a personality transplant since he has found his mate. Although he loves Caden and their son with every fibre of his being and is happy with them, he is still the gruff and grumpy Alpha that he always was, not one for many words and not suffering fools gladly.
The next book features Riley and Max. Stephen's friend, who have been dancing around each other all through this book. Riley seems even more broken than his brother and Max appears to be obsessed with his past too so I think their story is going to tear strips off me. I can't wait.

3.5 rounded up to 4 stubborn stars. I’ve known from reading the previous books in the series that Dom was a hard headed wolf. He didn’t change my mind in this book, but he certainly did thaw my opinion of him. Once he got over being stubborn and thinking he knew what was best for Stephen, he was this adorable and protective alpha.

Stephen’s story was heartbreaking. He literally went from one bad situation to another. Knowing what he went through at the hands of Clayton was terribly sad. When we meet him, he is stuck in his wolf form and cannot change back. His wolf is trying to protect him and his baby. I thought the way that Dom helped Stephen take his skin back was pretty inventive. I didn’t love the strained relationship between Stephen and Lee but I guess I understood it from a shame perspective. Stephen was so grateful that Lee had gotten his out of a terrible situation with their old pack that he didn’t want to tell Lee he got into another bad situation with Clayton.

Overall, this was an okay read. There were several grammatical errors throughout and even misplaced words. Another round of editing would not have hurt. Still, I enjoyed Stephen and how he built himself back up. These books are fairly tame on the heat scale, but still so loving and intimate. I am looking forward to reading Max and Riley’s story.

I will say get your tissues out and ready their story will break your heart all that they are put through. Stephen has been so much pain as an omega who has been held as a prisoner and abused by an alpha at a commune where he and another omega prisoner escape. But stuck in his wolf form from the abuse and pregnant on the run wondering what happens to him if she can’t shift back to his human form. Dom an alpha who deals with his past daily his life hasn’t been easy either but when he is sent to find Stephen, he never thought he would find his mate. Along the journey Stephen meets, befriends a pregnant cat shifter and she leads Dom to Stephen but the moment he sees him everything in him wants to protect him, keep him safe, help him learn to trust, and Stephen hasn’t had the best experiences with alphas and trusting another one well that isn’t going to be easy, so his wolf remains to protect him. But things are as he suspected …well it isn’t what either of them suspected because Dom didn’t think it was anyone out there to help him fight the ghost of his past yet here Stephen is doing just that, and Dom is showing Stephen that he can trust, that he is always in his corner to keep him and the baby safe but is it enough, will he be able to shift back, will the alpha who abused him get what he deserves and where are these two headed…..hopefully happiness?

I liked it. The relationship definitely progressed very fast compared to the other books or maybe in similar time-frame, but for me, it looked like super speed, I enjoyed it, but definitely it wasn't slow motion. Both of them are battered and bruised, although Stephen is freshly out from his nightmare. Dom's so protective and sweet to his mate, but on the other hand giving him all the space he needs to get better. All in all, everything was good, but unfortunately, as in other books, Caden irritated me a bit. He didn't have that much cameo in the 2nd, 3rd and this book but from what I sometimes read, not always, I was irritated. Lee, I loved very much, but his mate, not really... The end of the book introduces a bit what happens in the next book, or what will be probably discussed there. I liked Riley, sure, but I'm not that confident if I liked Max enough to want to read the next book... Reading the blurb of the 5th book, and having read what I read here in the 4th book, I'm not that interested, honestly... Maybe I'll come back to it some other time but I think I'm gonna end here and go to Moon Burrow Bears for some re-read and continuation of the new book that I haven't had the opportunity to read yet in that series.



Pairing ranking:
1. Riley & Jason
2. Dom & Stephen
3. Ollie & West
4. Caden & Lee

This is the 4th book in the Exiled Pack series. While you can read this as a stand alone, you will get much more enjoyment if you have read the previous books first. This is the story of Stephen Marshall and Dom Morton. Stephen is an omega wolf who is pregnant and on the run from a commune that he escaped from. HIs life conditions at the commune will break your heart. He is unable to shift back to human as his wolf has taken over to protect Stephen and his baby. Dom is an alpha who is strong and fierce. He has his brother had a heartbreaking life as well. They both have Lee in common. He is Dom's pack alpha and Stephen's brother. Stephen is on the run to Dom's pack. When Dom and Stephen first meet, Dom uses patience to lure Stephen out of his hiding place. He doesn't force him. This crucial decision is the beginning of a tentative trust between Stephen and Dom. This is their story. It is definately a journey of lots of ups and downs. Each believes that they don't deserve the other. That they aren't worthy. While in reality, they compliment each other perfectly. The story is well written and easy to read. I look forward to the next book in this series.

[Stephanie W · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dom and Stephen deserved all the happiness in the world after all they've been through.

Pregnant by another alpha, Stephen is on the run. Losing the will to go on - not feeling like he deserves love. He and another omega, Max, escape a commune and try to make it to Stephen's stepbrother, Lee. Now stuck in his wolf form, Stephen leaves the car he and Max were in. Leave it to a pregnant cat to befriend the traumatized wolf.
Dom is tasked with finding Stephen and all he has to go on is a cornfield, until the cat shows him where to find her new kittens, and Stephen. Dom immediately knows there is something special about this wolf and refuses to give up on him, even when others think he may turn feral after giving birth.
Gaining his trust was important to saving Stephen, the baby - himself. While neither feel worthy of the other's love, they continue to open up.
Despite a few tumultuous with the former alpha in Stephen's life, these two refuse to waver from one another.

Lovingly intimate and engaging story.

An uplifting story of love and hope for two battered shifters. This was a story with a positive message. Stephen is an omega wolf shifter who was held prisoner by an abusive alpha at a commune and has escaped with the help of another omega prisoner. He is stuck in his shifter form, pregnant, and not sure what will happen to him if he can't shift back. Dom is an alpha wolf shifter with a dark past of his own. When Dom finds Stephen he wants to protect him forever. He treats Stephan with respect and believes in him. He is gentle and caring and always puts Stephen's needs first. Together they raise each other up and support each other. Along the way there is plenty of action and lots of familiar side characters to help and support them.

Dom and Stephen . . .

Stephen has had a very rough time of it, going from a bad to worse situation. He is an omega wolf shifter held prisoner at a commune and abused by a cruel alpha named Clayton. He and another prisoner finally escaped. But because he is pregnant, his wolf wants to protect him and he is not able to shift out of his wolf form.

Dom goes out to find Stephen, and a cat shifter Stephen had befriended shows Dom where to find him. Dom has also had a difficult past which gives him some insight into trying to help Stephen. When they meet, Dom feels a deep protective instinct take hold of him. His kind, gentle, and respectful treatment of Stephen helps to start the healing. Will Stephen build up trust in Dom? Will having someone to care for begin the healing in Dom as well? Will they accept each other as mates to become a stable family?

There are no victime, just survivors. Dom, is a powerful alpha who thinks he's a monster because of his history. He and his pack mates, run an animal rescue. Lee's brother and his friend Max, escape from a horrendous alpha, Clayton. Stephen, is stuck in his wolf and fears everything and everybody. He has major trust issues and a justifiable fear of alphas. Dom meets Stephen while he is rescuing a cat and her new kittens. Stephen appreciates Dom's kindness to the kittens. Fel handles their growing awareness and friendship despite Stephen's trauma, delicately. You can feel the agony these men are experiencing based on their history and their perceptions. Can Max and Stephen overcome their trauma? There are challenges and complex solutions. There are a few questions that still need answering. Good story.

This is entertaining, suspenseful and dramatic. Having escaped from the situation they were in, Stephen and Max headed for Stephen's brother's pack. But before they make it, Stephen has a meltdown and runs away from Max. Max goes to get Stephen's brother, but his pack mate Dom is closer, so he goes looking for Stephen. Dom finds Stephen, but Stephen is too scared to trust him. But he feels pulled towards Dom. They finally get to the pack lands, where Stephen is reunited with his brother Lee. A relationship slowly developes between Dom and Stephen, but it could all be ruined when the Alpha who held Stephen captive finally catches up . It will leave you siting on the edge of seat.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the surgery. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

I’m loving this m/m romance series with fated mates, action, suspense, danger, drama, passion and so much more to keep you entertained and turning the pages and this is Dom’s and Stephen’s story. Sorry guys no spoilers so read the blurb and that will give you the gist to this fantastic story, I loved the characters Dom was so lonely and when he met his mate Stephen his mate their whole world changed for the better. I can’t wait to read what happens next and I know that it will be as exciting and entertaining as this whole series has been and I highly recommend this book it’s well worth the read.

I loved this book. I've enjoyed this series from the beginning. I love the world of this series and have always been intrigued by the pairings of the white magic coven members and the wolf shifters who were all exiled from their respective packs and now have formed a pack together. This book was very emotional for me as omega Stephen's story is a sad one. He's been through a lot and is now pregnant and stuck in his wolf form unable to shift back. Alpha Dom has a hard past himself, but is willing to do anything for Stephen. I loved that both these characters were exactly what the other needed in their lives, and support each other. A wonderful story. 5 stars.

[Courtney Turner · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is heartbreaking but beautiful. Stephan and Dom are both broken souls. And when they find each other it’s fate. They both need each other like one needs water. Stephan is stuck in his wolf form and he needs Dom and everyone else to get himself back. And Dom is one bad decision away from screwing up for good. When Stephan comes into him life he needs his alpha to keep him going. They will have to fight to get their happy ending but it makes it so much sweeter

Loving this fated pack series. There is some violence but over all there is bonding, family and love. Dom and Stephen bonded quickly...not really a slow burn or whirlwind romance...which is good with me...no push or pull angsty stuff. There's no doubt they are mates. We get to see how the pack and coven work together to get rid of the "threat" and Stephen and Dom's get their HEA...I really like how this one ended but it's making me impatient for the next installment in the series...it's gonna be good:)

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Stephen was rescued by Max and taken to his to his brother. Stephen was so traumatized that he was trapped in his wolf form and runs before they arrive. Dom finds him and they connect. This connection grows to love and freedom from his trauma. His abuser is dealt with. The teaser at the end makes me really eager for the next book.

Life hadn’t been fair to Dom or Stephen. Their past broke them but their bond saved then. Their bond gave them the strength and courage they needed to have a future together.

Fantastic addition to the series and I really enjoyed it.

Great addition to the series!

I loved Stephen and Dom. I loved how Dom cared for Stephen, especially when he was stuck in his wolf body. I loved how the book ends with Max wanting to save and free the other omegas that were at the commune that Max and Stephen escaped from.

Stephen has been trapped and finally escaped. Dom didn't think he could be a family man. Both have demons from their pasts. Will they finally let go of their pasts? Will they get what they never knew they wanted?

I loved seeing this Alpha have more patience than he thought he would. I loved seeing Stephen overcome everything in his past and become a stronger Omega. Good read!

Great book! I have really enjoyed reading this series. Next is Max's book! Stephen and Dom went through so much before they got together and still more afterwards. Hot alpha with a huge heart, timid omega that finds his inner strength!

A stuck wolf, a cat and three kittens and a grumpy alpaca... what is fate thinking?

Welcome back to the world of the Moon River Coven & Pack. All my old friends are here. I fell into their lives like I had never left. Please read the previous books in order. It will make understanding this one easier. Besides, they are great reads! This book follows Dom as he finds his fated mate, Stephen. Stephen is Alpha Lee's brother... abused, pregnant, and stuck in his wolf form. With the help of a mama cat, Dom brings Stephen home. It will take patience and some trickery to get him to change back. Come. Join them on the road to HEA. Along the way look for unexpected allies, a loyal best friend, assorted animals, an evil ex, and a pack that somehow becomes a wonderful family. But the saga continues in the next book. I can't wait! You are gonna love this book.
