Heidi was tired of fighting with Ryan. He refused to give her some time to figure herself out since she had been changed into a werewolf by a mad scientist. The last thing she had time to figure out was how to be mated. She and two other - Brandi and Ariel. He wanted her to mate with him and live with him and she just wasn’t ready. Ariel was driving the SUV the three women were in as she was like werewolf GPS. They had come with Brandi when asked as Brandi had a vision/dream and sit would drive her crazy until she figured it out. Heidi felt primary pack was came first and Ariel was her primary pack Alpha and Brandi was the Beta. they also belonged to Reed’s pack. Heidi had saved Ariel’s life when it was supposed to be impossible . Heidi was a healer and loved her place in the pack and working at the healing Center. . The werewolves all had Nanos in them from when they were forced to be werewolves. The Nanos chose certain aspects of their personal appearances to tweak. Then Ariel stopped the van and they started to walk around then they found a female werewolf close to death. Heidi took the silver collar off her that had prevented Katarina from shifting and healed her as good as she could until they could get home. Katarina had been abducted from Moscow and had to kill the pilot to try to get away. The collar had nt drained her determination to be free when she saw the chance. The collar had burned Katarina so bad she felt like she was choking. Her grandfather had told her tales of Nikolai Vashchenko and how he had traveled all over Russia then into Alaska until he found a pack that appreciated his gift of prophecy and second sight.Once settled Nicolai set word back to a few close friends that he was fine but not to the family who had shunned him. She had been living among humans and had been kicked out of her pack by her father for being an Alpha wolf and wanting to lead the pack. Her biological father refused to admit she was his daughter and he hated her as giving birth to a female Alpha was mostly seen as a curse. No one had stepped forward to claim Katarina as a mate or to help her defend her right to rule the pack. But everyone had supported her father for getting rid of her. She was now in Alaska. Travis was Reed’s grandson but a bad wolf. He captured ryan and drugged him and put a silver collar around his throat He sent Heidi a message with Ryan tied up with a silver collar on telling Heidi that either she or Katarina had to come alone or he would kill Ryan. Heidi could not make Katarina go after all she had been through so Heidi managed to sneak away to exchange herself for Ryan. Heidi was drugged and taken in a helicopter when she came through she was in a cage and then Dr. Diana Crane came in.
This was a great book and I loved reading it. I loved how Ryan finally learned how to be patient and give Heidi time. I loved how Heidi was willing to sacrifice herself for Ryan and did. I loved the relationship between Heidi, Ariel, and Brandi. I love how determined Ryan was to save Heidi for the lab she was being held in. I loved the plot and pace. I happily couldn’t find anything to criticize in this book. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this book and I highly recommend.

4.5 Stars! I did not know Donna McDonald had shifter books or I would have attacked them when the first one came out. I loved this! I would recommend reading book 1 first. This book continued on with the story from previous books so I did have questions about a few details but that can be quickly solved by reading book 1 & 2. I still very much enjoyed this despite not understanding a couple things. I'm glad to be finding shifter books lately that are unique to their own genre. This didn't feel like all the other shifter/werewolf books out there. And best of all, we have possessive mates in this series! Arc provided by NetGalley.

This was a new take on the werewolves for me, but I found it really interesting. Katrina was one of the best characters I have ever read and when Yana came I was dying laughing. I would recommend to start from the beginning of the series since the author doesn't recap the previous books. This being my first read in this series I was left with a ton of questions, so I will be reading the first two books and I'm really looking forward to reading Reed's story in the next book.
