SUMMARY

He saw her die in a vision… 

Before five years ago, Gabriel had never met Vega, but he knows how she's going to die. He knows he'll be involved... unless he can make sure they never meet, never cross paths, so that his vision will never come true. So he left his pack behind, joined the Stavros pack and was determined to never let that future play out. To never meet her at all. Fate had other plans—and she walked right into his life when he least expected it. For the last five years he’s avoided Vega whenever possible even while trying to keep an eye on her. But when she gets cagey with her pack and disappears, he has no choice but to follow her. Now, circumstances are forcing them to work together and he’s determined to protect her against any threat. If that means dying for her, he’s more than willing to. But she doesn’t want his protection. If anything, she’s determined to prove she’s stronger than everyone thinks. 

She’s writing her own future… 

Vega isn’t the same moody teenager who came to live with the Stavros pack all those years ago. With college behind her, she’s been recruited by a division of the government’s supernatural Black Ops. Trained and more than ready for her first mission, she doesn’t expect Gabriel to crash her assignment. To save her cover, they pretend to be a couple. But soon lines are blurred and neither can deny the incendiary attraction between them. As they race to stop a man who wants to sell out their people to the highest bidder, they find themselves fighting for a future together. With time running out, she has no choice but to rely on the irresistible male who’s turned her world upside down. Unfortunately, in order to save the woman he loves, Gabriel has to give her up. 

MY REVIEW

Gabriel and Vega
Vega Marius Stavros is a hybrid vampire-wolf shifter and more precisely she is the daughter of one of my favourite PNR couples. She is the daughter of Finn (the werewolf Alpha) and Lyra (the vampire). Her father only learn about her existence when Vega was a teenager, so he became very protective of his little princess.

Gabriel is a wolf that belongs to Stavros' pack and he is Vega's devoted protector. Before five years ago, Gabriel had never met Vega, but when he saw her for first time he knew that she will be his mate and he knew that she’s going to die. That's the reason he tried to avoid her during the last few years no matter how painful it was for him.

Vega on the other hand wanted Gabriel since the day the first met, BUT he was avoiding her like the plague. So she was only writing letters to him. Letters that she never sent and he never read.

I won’t be sending you this letter, but it feels really good to get all this out. You know what would feel better? Throat punching you. 

Now that she has finished college, Vega tries to prove how tough she is and she is recruited by a division of the government’s supernatural Black Ops. Her parents don’t know what is the matter with her, they get worried and once again Gabriel needs to stalk her and protect her.

“Listen, I need a favor…”
Gabriel knew what that favor was even before his Alpha asked. “You want me to follow her?” 

This time, Gabriel will not be able to avoid what is written in the stars.

“Mating is forever.”
“So? You afraid?” Because she wasn’t.
Heat flared in his green eyes. “Only of losing you.” 

A very nice addition to the series. A new interesting pack is introduced and two more interesting dragons will rise from their Hibernation. This government’s supernatural Black Ops also includes a few very interesting shifters.
