So well worth the wait, as always Cardeno C delivered again. I had been looking forward to this 3rd book  in "The Mates Series", of which I am a big fan and I must say that I was very pleased. I read it all in one go. I found the MC's  very easy to like. The story is told from Samuel's perspective and gives us an insight to his internal turmoils. The fact that Samuel was so serious,studious and thrived to excel by being the best in everything and was well versed in the Pack law and was determined to be the best and strongest Alpha ever but was unfortunately emotionally challenged gave him an endearing quality.Ever since he was 8years old when he first laid his eyes on Korban Keller, whenever he was around him, he always experienced emotions he could not understand and that made him off balance , confused and angry. As he grew older he found it more difficult to hold on to his human side and even though he guessed the reason for this, he did not know what to do about it . He knew that it was only a matter of time before he lost himself to his wolf side but did not know that his saviour would come in the form of the presumptive Alpha from the neighbouring Miancarem pack and his secret obsession Korban Keller .On the other hand, Korban had known whom Samuel was to him since he was 11years okay and had patiently hoped over the years that Samuel would realise what they were to each other, 'True Mates'.  Korban was the exact opposite of Samuel, he was amiable, easy going and was beloved by many. A  threat to the pack by a challenge from Dirk Keller, Korban's father which resulted in a tragedy brought these two face to face again and it finally dawned on Samuel what had been missing from his life all along, his True mate. It was a big wake up call for Samuel, because he realised that some of the Pack guides and laws that he had studied most of his life was not only inaccurate but was wrong as he was a living proof of it. On the positive side, he was more grounded having found his true mate and together they face the challenges and threats that reared it's ugly head. This book was well written, it had all the markings of a great shifter novel, Love, action, drama and great sex , let's not forget a HEA. (It was also lovely to hear that ETHAN and MIGUEL were still doing great after so many generations together ) What more can one ask for? I highly recommend this book to all lovers of great shifter romance novels.
