Book Blurb:
he only thing more dangerous than their bond, is the war it will ignite.
Every unmated female must run.
The males give chase.
Whoever catches you becomes your mate.
No exceptions. No escape.
Kitara Silverbrook was born with the gift of sight, but cursed without the ability to shift. In a world where a wolf’s strength defines their worth, she’s endured whispers, isolation, and the cruel hands of a pack that sees her as nothing but a vessel for power.
When the brutal Claiming ceremony begins, Kitara’s only hope is to run fast enough to avoid being caught by the pack’s enforcer—the male who’s already marked her for torment.
Torn between prophecy and survival, Kitara must decide if she’ll risk her heart on the savage alpha who promises to protect her at any cost.
Even if that cost is war.

Thoughts:
Kitara (FMC) is considered to be less than in her own pack due to her inability to shift, she is mistreated even though she has been blessed with the power to see the future no one in her pack has helped her to progress with her skills, only using her for their own benefit forcing her to have visions then leaving her on her own to deal with the aftermath (which are often painful).
During the claiming ceremony as an unmated female she is told by an alpha male in her pack that she is to be his... but she doesn't want to be claimed by him knowing that she'll never be treated well if she has to stay in her current pack, her only chance of possibly being seen for who she is, is to get claimed by a male from a different pack.
When the claiming ceremony begins her inner wolf knows that their fated mate is near... it turns out to be the alpha of another pack known to be the outcasts with the smallest amount of land, but they are also the most vicious pack they have been on their own and know how to protect their own... but will Kitara be safer with this unknown alpha male Ryker? Only time will tell!
Ryker (MMC) has placed himself and his pack in a worse situation by taking Kitara as his mate, he declines the head alpha's request to deny his claim to Kitara and instead leaves the ceremony with his new mate and heads for home... knowing that he has made more enemies and potential war on the horizon, but Kitara is his and he's not going to let her go now that he's had her in his sight and in his arms.
What starts out as Kitara being in an unknown situation on new lands, she has to deal with the pack's treatment of their leader picking a female who isn't able to shift... she is used to being seen as weaker though, and not everyone is against their match, even if she can't help by shifting she can still be useful with her gift of seeing the future.
Ryker even though he is known to be brutal he is quite the surprise to Kitara when she sees nothing but kindness from him, allowing her freedom to move around their home as she wishes and he gives her something no one else ever has... freedom to make her own choices, he never forces her to use her abilities against her will and even offers opportunities where she can finally learn how to control her power which she didn't know was possible in her original pack.
Ryker also cares for his pack but makes it known where he stands if anyone questions his choice in his new mate.
Kitara once nervous about being with the brutal Ryker is now finding it hard to imagine her life without him, but with secrets revealed, betrayals uncovered and danger lurking from other packs it's hard to believe that there will ever be peace.
The Narrators Jack Calihan and Hannah Chiclana were great, I was able to stick with the story when I might not have finished it without them.
Negatives for this book:
There was not much world building, what was there was repetitive
The plot was thin and at points in the story the spice began to over power any plot that was there.
There really isn't much character building or progression of their love story it was pretty insta everything between the two, and then the spice happened.
When Kitara has a vision that there is a traitor in their pack there is no questioning of anyone really there are just a few lines where they were discussing "could it be this person?" "maybe"... like you would think if this was actually happening Ryker would be trying harder to figure out who the mole was.
This is good for if you just want a lighter fluffy read that doesn't make you think too much.
For me this book was ok it was predictable at times and as I said earlier fairly repetitive but I will probably check out the rest of the series at some point to find out what happens next.
Have you read this one? What did you think?
