The exciting story of the werewolfhounds continues, and a lot of things happen in this book. The focus is on Ryland, an alpha who is a member of Max’s pack, and Scott, one of the omega wolfhounds who is not supposed to exist because humans supposedly killed them all. Scott is also a member of Logan’s pack, a smaller group that ran into Max’s territory in the previous book and whose members are now trying to figure out how to merge with Max’s larger pack. Dean and the human Joey are still fighting, but there are some real hints as to what is going on, and the human doctor, George, also seems to be hiding a few secrets.

Scott, as an omega wolfhound, is weaker and less dominant than the alphas and betas but is used to acting like an alpha, so the human scientists don’t kill him. But he was caught in the previous book, and cruelly experimented on, and he still isn’t quite over the effects of the drugs he was given. As he recovers under the care of Ryland, the only one who can touch him without causing pain, Scott begins to learn the rules of his new pack. But he also has to adjust to being mated and figure out how to be a worthy partner for Ryland.

Ryland is happy to have his mate back with him and does everything he can to help Scott recover from his ordeal. The mating heat may be inconvenient, and Ryland is scared of hurting Scott, but when he is sure they both want it, he is determined to be the best mate he knows how to be. Protecting Scott from other pack members, imagined rivals, and the dangers of hunters trying to find any wolfhounds who escaped from the labs where they were created keeps Ryland quite busy.

If you like the idea of two rival packs reluctantly coming together and merging, if you want to see how Ryland rescues and takes care of Scott, and if you’re looking for a read that is full of fear, sudden hope, and hot newly-mated action between the sheets, then you will probably like this novella.
