Liam, Toni Griffin [freda ebook reader .TXT] 📗

Declan couldn't blame the Alpha and thought it actually kind of sweet. He just hoped Tommy would come round and see Ben for the loving, caring man Declan had come to know.

Frank Schmidt had taken over the Cairns pack with his two Betas, Glen and Adrian. They had found and dealt with Gregory and Barry. Declan had no idea how they handled it, but he trusted Liam when he said there would be no more trouble from them.

The police had received an anonymous tip about the former Alpha's house. When they searched it, drugs and money totalling nearly half a million were found. Declan had no idea where Wallis had gotten it all, but at least it wouldn't make it to the streets.

Kegan Wallis's mauled body had been discovered in the woods on the opposite side of town a week after Ben

had killed him, officially closing the police investigation.

His death had been ruled an animal attack. The detectives had no idea how right they were.

Liam had dropped a bomb on him the previous week when he had told Declan they couldn't have sex for the day. When he asked why, Liam explained that, once mated, there was the possibility of getting pregnant if they made love on the day of the new moon. Declan still had trouble wrapping his brain around that little piece of information but thought it wouldn't completely be out of the realm of possibility for them and their future. He would love nothing more than to give his mate the family he had always wanted, but never voiced.

"Babe, are you coming?" Liam called out from the bathroom.

"No, but I will be shortly," Declan mumbled under his breath as he got out of bed and headed towards his mate. Happy in the knowledge no matter what life threw at him, Liam would be by his side.

Always.

What Queer Magazine Online Says About Unexpected Mate:

Unexpected Mate is the first in a new werewolf shifting series from Toni Griffin. Set amongst smaller towns in what appeared to me to be a more rural backdrop gives it a special charm. I also enjoyed how Tori writes the brothers all living together yet separate from Mum and Dad. This gives another layer to the story that is almost a bit "boys gone wild", yet creates a wonderful sense of pack and camaraderie.

Marcus is a wolf determined not to be gay, so therefore he mustn't be. Dating female members of the pack and sleeping with them only confirms that, right? Wrong.

The abrupt about face from denial to acceptance is well written, playing true to form as his brother's step forward to provide a much needed dose of reality. Marcus is a protective character, showing intensity with all emotions, but also displaying a fun-loving side. This fun-loving edge is the perfect foil for Brian.

When we first meet Brian, he has been exiled from his own pack. I connected with him quite quickly. Empathy was a powerful motivator as feelings of misplaced trust, trepidation, resentment and a basic feeling of fed up mix together in a volatile package. Brian shows true depth of emotion as the plot line develops. Contentment, tenderness and a side order of cheeky are the result, making Brian a very likeable character.

It is obvious there will be further instalments to this series and I, for one, can't wait to read them. I would recommend this story to anyone who enjoys shape-shifter or paranormal stories written in a contemporary style.
