I was gifted a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.Attacked viciously and turned against her will, Angelica (Angel) was then forced to submit to a cruel, domineering, possessive alpha. Seeing no other option after two years of living in hell, she runs from her pack and so called mate. Eight years later she is still running. Hiding in the city was the easiest thing for her to do. Or so she thought until the alpha Hunter walks in to the restaurant where she works. Now it's time for her to run yet again.Hunter has been searching for Angel every since she ran from her pack. From the moment he met her ten years earlier he felt a connection to Angel that was beyond anything he had ever known. He even tried to get her into his pack when she was newly turned so he could explore those feelings but was denied. Now she is in the last place he ever thought to look for her. His territory.I really liked the interaction between these two from the beginning. Both of them felt something when they first met but had no idea what it truly meant. Not to mention that it seemed like everything was stacked against them. I loved that from the start all Hunter wanted to do was protect her. That he fought his alpha instincts and gave her the chance to choose for herself what she wanted to do. Even if it meant leaving him at the end.Angel thought of herself as less than the other wolves because of the way they treated her. She was forced at every turn to believe that she was weak. But there truly was nothing weak about her. She was stronger than she ever thought. Hunter showed her that by his actions.I hope we get more about this pack in future books!
