I was lucky enough to find my alpha when I was a teenager. We grew up together. Experienced all the high school sweetheart moments between us. Life should have been perfect.

Except that no pack wants an already bonded omega. I know that firsthand. It’s been ten years since we’ve started looking and we’ve visited a hundred packs through Pack Listing. None of them want an omega and her alpha.

But someone wants us. In the middle of the night, we’re abducted. Taken away, separated, and tortured – all in an attempt to break our bond. We’re somehow rescued and enrolled in the government’s protection program where we’re dumped into a home made up of other victims.

For the first time in my life, we’ve found a pack that isn’t awful. One that treats us both good; one that wants both of us. But I have to keep reminding myself that this is not my pack. We’re here by circumstance.

None of that matters. It doesn’t appear that we’re safe here, either.

REVIEW:⚠️TRIGGER WARNINGS ⚠️

This isn’t one of my favourite series that this author has written, but this book…. Oh lord… I absolutely loved it.

Alpha’s are the protectors, they see to their omega’s needs. Omega’s are softer, need protection and most are happy to be homemakers. Then we have the Beta’s not needing protection, but not strong enough to protect and keep an omega. So that causes a lot of resentment from the Beta’s, they can be added into a pack, but most form packs of their own. (I always thought this was kind of sad.)

Imagine finding your Alpha when you’re in high school, the happiness that an Omega feels when she’s safe in the knowledge that she will never be alone and now will always be protected…. That’s the good part, but you are suppose to be a pack, but if established packs only want an omega, and not a paired omega with her alpha, what’s left?

This story has it all…. Happiness/desperation/kidnapping/loss and the hope of finding a family. Paired/bonded mates can’t be separated. (A bite from your alpha makes it impossible.)

Talya and Colby have known they were meant to be together since teenagers. They thought they’d find their pack, years have gone by and nothing! Alphas need an omega, what they don’t need is another alpha! And we get to witness their pain at being rejected time and again. Unit/family/affection are all they have ever wanted. It’s also easier to protect an omega if there are more of you in a pack!

Talya is not your normal omega, she stands up for herself and doesn’t back down from fight/argument.

Colby is your typical alpha. But there is also a side that feels like he’s let his omega down! He needs a pack as much as she does.

There is so much to cover in this book. And plenty I’m not going to say. But I found the kidnapping by the Beta’s both interesting and scary! They are trying to break bonds that have already been formed!

(There’s torture and violence, so be warned!)

Then we come to the center that houses other victims, Colby and Talya are enrolled into the government’s protection program, and this is where we meet other alphas/betas that have been treated in the same way!

Trust needs to be earned, and slowly that trust comes, but both Colby and Talya are wary, why would this pack be any different, just because they are thrown together, doesn’t mean they are pack! It’s sad to read at first, you know these new characters are meant to be with Colby and Talya, but they don’t trust anyone after what they’ve been through. 😞

This series doesn’t need to be read in order. Although there are characters that have been in other books. But unless you read the previous books, you wouldn’t be able to tell.

I love reading the before and after notes the author writes for us. I think it adds a little extra to the story.

I did feel this could have been a two book story, the ending felt a little unfinished! 🤔 Personally I would have liked to have seen a better ending.

But I’m still going to recommend this book to all lovers of the Omegaverse.

Crea lives in upstate New York with her dog and husband. She has been writing since grade school, when her second grade teacher had her class keep writing journals. She has a habit of creating secondary, and often time tertiary, characters that take over her stories. All of her RH relationships end up being heavily polyamorous – meaning it’s not just all the men for one woman. There’s also some M/M action going on. When she can’t fall asleep at night, she thinks up new scenes for her characters to act out. This, of course, is how most of her meant-to-be-thrown-away characters tend to end up front and center – and utterly swoon-worthy! Don’t ask her how many book boyfriends she has…

When not writing, Crea is an avid reader. Her TBR pile is several hundred books high (don’t even look at her kindle wish list or the unread books on her tablet). Sometimes, she enjoys crafting; sometimes, exploring nature; sometimes, traveling. Mostly, she enjoys putting her characters on paper and breathing life into them. Oh, and sleeping. Crea loves to sleep!
