When the topic of grandchildren comes up during a weekly sewing circle the matriarchs of the founding families seek out the witch Elder to scry to see if their sons have mates. They are shocked to discover that many of their son’s mates are out in the world and are human!
Fearing that their future daughter in laws will end up dead before being claimed and providing them with grandchildren to spoil, they convince their own mates that something must be done. After gathering all of the warriors together in a fake award ceremony the witch Elder casts a spell to pull the warrior’s mates to them, whether they want it or not.
Aiden McKenzie is adamant that he doesn’t need a mate and that she would only get in the way. He doesn’t have time to coddle a female. He likes his world run with military precision. Little does he realize, Fate is sending him his mate first! He meets his destined mate Meryn Evans and things go downhill from there. She is the embodiment of chaos. In the first twenty-four hours she kicks, screams and knocks her bear shifting mate unconscious.
Eventually they discover that life before finding each other may have been good, but life afterwards is perfect, even if it involves super soaker battles and accidentally discharging hand grenades.
Unfortunately the joy of their mating is overshadowed when Aiden and Meryn find themselves embroiled in a missing persons case assigned to Aiden by the Lycaonian Council. By assisting Aiden, Meryn finds herself the focus of a demented killer.

I think I've got a new obsession with paranormal novels. Lila Rose has really ruined me. I just need more supernatural reads in my life right now.
I came across this by the off chance, never really knowing if I'd like it. Even after reading four-five chapters, I still wasn't sure. Everything felt rushed. But once they explained the pull of the mate, I guess I understood and since Meryn is a massive Supernatural fan she took everything in stride. If I had seen some hunk turn into a wolf I'd probably pee my pants and pass out.
I loved how the story flowed and the history behind it all.
Characters, however, I freaking adored. OMG!! When the boys go to get our feisty Meryn her Tampons.... I nearly wet myself. I've read scenes like this before, where the heroin in the book doesn't know what type to get but these men...? These men were clueless about humans so you can only imagine when they hear that their commanders Mate is internally bleeding and does so once a month, every month. Too funny.
Really cheered me up.
I don't want to go into any further detail since it will ruin the entire story. I know usually reviews giveaway parts of the story, letting you know what type of book it is, but I will just ask you to trust me... It's worth the read. I'm already on the second book and couldn't be happier that I found this series. I'll be looking forward to more of Alanea Alder's work. This is the first novel of hers that I've read and I loved it.
