BLURB:
Azkin, by mating Zain he has activated the first part of the prophecy. Azkin accepts he is, the Aztec wolf now learning to wield the magic bestowed upon him by the other world. The gift to give life and to take it away— will this prove too much for him?
Zain, now the Aztec wolf protector through his mating with Azkin, also carries the Aztec wolf gene. While the sex is hot, they are newly mated, and the Aztecs have no time to celebrate. They’re on a timeline and must take down the Theta Pack, in order to bring mates to their Omegas, by building a pack worthy of the Aztec name.
Azkin believes he is the weakest link. Can Zain convince him, his strength comes in other ways?
With the first rescue of the Beta Omegas the next section of the Prophecy must be activated, in order to keep Azkins parents with him. Azkin must take down the Theta pack and kill their alpha, and send him to the Aztec prisons, in the other world.
Meanwhile the Alpha protection Squad has now found their home, with the Aztec pack. With the ancestors on their side, the protectors must try to navigate the Aztec wolf through the next stage of the rescues, while trying to keep him alive long enough to liberate the Theta pack.
Dante believes he is untouchable as he doesn’t believe in the prophecies told around the campfire as a pup. Alpha of the Theta pack has ruled with an iron fist for many years. Killing Theta born alphas, selling Omegas, starving his pack and treating them not as the noble shifters they are by imprisoning many.
Will this be his undoing as he finally goes head to head with the Aztec wolf and the Alpha protection squad?
Trigger warnings. Miscarriage scene. Male on male hot shifter sex.
REVIEW:
There is a trigger warning in the blurb, but I have to warn you there are more possible triggers. The alpha of the Theta pack is evil and rapes, abused and often murders shifters. It’s bad. Real bad. So be aware.
But having said that, I have to admit, this book was a big improvement for me. It starts off right at the end of book 1, where the rescued omegas are trying to cope with what was done to them. But things are about to get much worse. Word from the guardians has told Azkin and Zain, it’s going to be time to move, like now, to rescue the thetas from the horror they are having to endure. It’s just as bad as the omega camp, if not worse, because Dante is very hands on there and the shifters are on the brink of dying. But Dante thinks himself invincible, along with his second and it’s going to take a lot to overpower them and finally rescue those who have been oppressed. But will Azkin and Zain be able to do so with the help of the guardians and protectors and finally show Dante his downfall or will it not work the way they want?
I hated the horror of what was going on in this book because I felt so bad for what they were going through. Just like the omegas. And mates were losing not only their fateds but their children as well and it’s just pure torture. So this one has a lot of emotion in it. It’s also more action packed. Things have to be done and things are changing within the pack itself and quickly. Not counting the rescue that was going to have to take place. So it’s a lot more going on in this one. And even though a lot of it can be sad, with the new pack getting up and running, there’s hope. Finally. After so many years of being put through all that torture, there’s hope. Hope of a new life, a new future, and possibly mates and more cubs to flourish. It’s a lot in this one to take in, but I really enjoyed it and can’t wait to see what’s coming next.
