The Prophecy.
One prophecy. Two Alphas. A world of shifters to save.
Raised on the family farm, Azkin has been sheltered from the harsh realities of shifter life. After the loss of his parents, he struggles to find his way in the world. He withdraws even more, until one day, an old prophecy is resurrected, pointing to a greater destiny than he ever imagined.
In the Aztec Alpha Protection Program, Zain protects the Alphas living and working in the human world. He and others have patiently awaited the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy and have all but lost hope that it will ever come to pass. His long-time friend, Azkin, however might just bring Zain much closer to the center of the prophecy than he’s ready for.
Together, Azkin and Zain must navigate a new world for shifters while staying true to themselves. Can they survive the dangerous obstacles in their path, or will they be torn apart in their quest to save shifter-kind?
This book mentions Mpreg, its also M/M Gay shifters. Lots of New relationship sex..

REVIEW:
I do want to say, I did really enjoy this story and honestly can’t wait to see what’s coming next. The only major problem I had, is that for the first chunk of the story, things often seemed repetitive and almost forced. As far as conversation and stuff. And for me, it was hard to kind of get through the first part. Which is why I said, as a whole, I really did enjoy it.
I love the alpha/omega, etc, books, as everyone knows, so it was nice to see a new twist on some things. So, when Azkin, in his grief of losing his parents, finally sees them again, it’s a shock he wasn’t ready for. Not only that, but what they had to tell him and where they were, was another blow. And then add his best friend, Zain, and how he feels about him and where he fits into all this, he feels like he’s lost his mind. But as he realized Zain already knows most of what is going on and why he knows, it’s mind boggling but a relief to know Zain feels the same way. The problem now is what they have to do in order to make this prophecy true. And it feels like a huge task to undergo. And Azkin isn’t sure he’s ready for it. But with Zain’s help and the help of his parents, and others, he sets about the task he was meant to do. But with all that is against him, will they be able to do what they are meant to, or will it be over before it even starts?
I think the other thing that upset me in this book, is that Azkin’s parents left him completely unprepared for anything he was supposed to do. Not only that, but they kind of manipulated his grief in order to make sure he took his rightful place. That didn’t sit right with me. Because of Azkin’s good heart and rightness in things, he did the right thing anyway, but he should have been better prepared. Told about this so long ago. And possibly kept from a world of hurt that he had to endure in the meantime. But I liked the story overall. It’s a good vs. evil kind of thing. It’s not justa pack politics kind of thing. Although, those are involved to an extent. It’s about doing the right thing for the packs, which has been denied for so long. All because of greed and a thirst for power that shouldn’t have been theirs to begin with. So, it was good to see how they worked together and how they strategized trying to fix this problem to make it better. It didn’t mean it was all going to work overnight. By no means. But Azkin is a good man and has a great mate. And his parents, even when they were wrong in some ways, are good people too and only have what’s best for the packs at heart.
It’s a good story. It’s a slow start, but once you get to the meat of the story, it’s a good one. I’m anxious to see how this is going to turn out next.
