Kyler grew up in a bad place and then in foster care, which was almost worse. All his anger, which should’ve been aimed at his parents, ended up being concentrated on Arran instead. Trauma responses aren’t always the smartest, and Kyler went the worst way possible trying to get to the man he believed had ruined his life.
While checking up on his latest attempt at getting Arran’s attention, he gets bowled over by Stefan, the Alpha’s brother. In an instant, there’s a connection even Kyler, a human, can’t deny. Kyler was taught to hate wolves and all they represent. Now, he’s the mate of one?
Stefan, an alpha wolf too young to take on the pack’s Alpha power when his mother passed away, has struggled since his teens. He’s been the best beta to his brother he’d been able to with his broken body. A broken body that has just begun to heal against all odds. When his shift bursts out of him in the face of danger, he doesn’t know it yet: he’s found his mate.
Now there’s a not-so-little decision Stefan and Kyler need to make: Do they want to take the burden of being an Alpha off Marek’s shoulders and be the new Alpha pair of their pack? But their mate bond hasn’t been completed. Are they ready to take their relationship to a physical level?

Short and sweet resolution to the story that began with Wolfy. These wolf shifters are very likeable, but the series definitely should be read in order.
While I did enjoy the first two books in the Wolfy series, featuring Arran and Marek, I have problems with this final installment. Stefan, for reasons unknown to medical science or werewolf magic, injures himself when he tries to shift. So much so that he was bedridden for a year and passed over for alpha in favor of his brother. Stefan’s leg is twisted and he requires assistance in walking. Until he meets his mate. Love, it turns out, is the cure for all things because Stefan’s disability seems to be blown away like dandelion fluff by Kyler’s sheer existence.
The "Wolfy" series started out great, and each sequel has continued the high standards set by the first. The characters all have incredible depth, and even the wolves become real. I found myself totally engrossed in each book, and regretting each one coming to close. I would love to see each book become a movie!
Tender long hair washing scene was great, but ended pretty abruptly (I do wonder if JMS has word count levels/limits?). The second book was the strongest in the series; this felt kind of like a long epilogue.
It was good to see Kyler and Stefan get their HEA after the uncertainty in the previous book. I would have liked a little more details on recovery but a sweet light read.
