"Not with me," he replied easily, his voice not wavering as he stared at her with a hard expression. "You belong with other wolves, with a pack."
"But you're a wolf."
"I'm not the kind of wolf that you need."
"Sol," she begged him, pleading with her tone as tears streaked down her face. "Please don't do this."
He ignored her, only turning around and walking out of the front door, already grabbing her suitcases which he had pulled down the stairs earlier. He walked out of the cabin which they had shared for the past few months and began loading all her bags into the back of the truck, ignoring the immense amount of pain and sorrow that he could feel radiating off from her.
After he finished, he sat in the driver's seat and waited patiently for her to join him. When she did, her cheeks were now dry. Her puffy, red eyes were the only tell-tale that she had been crying only mere moments ago.
"I'm only doing what's best for the both of us," he muttered quietly, more so to reassure himself than her. But his words fell on silent ears as she didn't even acknowledge his words, just stared ahead.
Exhaling, he twisted the key and the engine purred to life.
In a few hours, it would be back in front of the lone cabin in the woods, but this time with one less passenger.
This book certainly had potential, but after pushing through 20 chapters, my interest in the romance had significantly faded. I had hoped the love story would develop into something more emotionally engaging, but it remained underwhelming and lacked the depth I was looking for.
What kept me going were the intriguing mystery elements and unexpected plot twists, which added some excitement and suspense. Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough to offset the issues that held the book back for me. Most notably, the sheer number of grammatical errors—ranging from punctuation mishaps to awkward sentence structure—seriously disrupted the flow and made it hard to stay immersed in the story.
While the concept had promise and the suspense kept me mildly invested, the weak romantic development and distracting editing problems made this a frustrating read overall. I hope the author continues to grow, because there’s definitely talent here—but the execution needs refining.
