Fearing Fate is Book three of the Fates series. You probably could read as a stand a lone as each book features different couples but I do suggest you read in order for best enjoyment. These books are so fun, It’s not a hardship.
Zeus is over seven feet tall, shaved bald, tattooed up and dark. He is one scary wolf to the eye which is good for an enforcer.
Max and Christian adopt two babies from another pack after their parents died. A stranger shows up a few days later surprising Zeus in more ways than one. He finds himself wanting to protect him even though his Alpha’s orders are to get rid of the threat to the pack and kids.
This is a quick read and so engaging you will want to read in one sitting. There are a couple twists, we meet a new character that I hope gets a story, and Zeus gets his happy ending. There are lots of feels, cute kids, funny dog, humor, tension, and an all over sweet paranormal romance.
Excerpt...
Chapter 1: Another Move
ZEUS STOOD against the wall with his arms crossed, watching Max and Seth pack. It was like déjà vu, listening to them banter back and forth like a pair of irritating younger brothers.
“Is he still making you shift for him?” Max asked Seth, raising his eyebrows suggestively.
Zeus shook his head in exasperation.
“He doesn’t ‘make’ me shift.” Seth glared across the bed at Max before glancing up at Zeus. “He’s just intrigued by it all still.”
Zeus respected the way Jack, despite the fact he was human, had embraced their pack. He was sure it had to be a lot to take in, but Jack was an environmentalist and animal lover, so Zeus wasn’t all that surprised he was fascinated with their culture. And since they were the first human-shifter mates in their pack, everyone was fascinated with him as well. They were dependent on legends passed down from the elders on how a mating like theirs worked. Jack’s life-span was now interwoven with Seth’s—his natural human aging would slow. The impact Jack had on Seth’s self-confidence was the best side effect as far as Zeus was concerned. It was like night and day. It was a good thing that Seth was moving into Jack’s place next door.
“What are we going to do about you now?” Max said, closing up a box and handing it to Zeus.
“Me?” Zeus asked, even knowing he shouldn’t ask.
“Yes, you. You’re mateless.”
“Max!” Seth scolded, looking like he was going to slap Max upside the head.
“What? I didn’t say he was unmateable. I mean, look at that big hunk of shifter. I just don’t want him to be alone. We need to work harder to find him the perfect mate.”
“He’s not alone; he has us, and now he has Rosetta too.”
Zeus thought about the rabid shih tzu that was probably chewing holes in his couch at home. “I do not want or need your help,” he assured them, opening up another box and placing it on the bed for them to fill.
“Harrumph,” Max grunted his disbelief and threw Seth’s books into the box.
“Are you sure it’s okay to leave the apartment empty?” Seth asked Zeus for the third time since they’d started packing.
“Yes. I told you I have surveillance cameras on the bakery. Nothing’s going to happen to it. Now, they’re on their way back, so you might want to do less talking and more packing.”
Christian and Jack had taken a few boxes next door. Zeus could hear them heading up the stairs. Christian came in first, walking up behind Max and wrapping his arms around his waist. Zeus was happy for his friend, his alpha. Max made Christian lighter. Zeus hadn’t been sure if he would ever see that side of him again after the loss of his parents.
“Did you tell them yet?” Christian asked.
“No,” Max said, sounding a little nervous.
“Tell us what?” Zeus and Seth asked in unison.
“Umm… we’re having a baby,” Max said.
Zeus waited with bated breath for the joke. The same skeptical look crossed Seth’s face.
“Congratulations,” Jack said, reaching his arm around Seth’s shoulder, completely oblivious to Max’s previous made-up pregnancy.
“Well we’re not literally ‘having’ a baby. Sorry, Zeus,” Max said, apologizing yet again for the aforementioned fake baby.
Zeus grunted in response, still not ready to completely forgive Max.
“We’re going to adopt.”
“Well, technically more like foster,” Christian corrected.
“That’s kind of sudden, isn’t it?” Seth asked.
Zeus totally agreed in his head.
I write about painfully awkward, usually embarrassing, romance because long confident gazes followed by sexy dancing NEVER happens to me. I am a native of the Pacific Northwest, and will probably never leave. I'm like a hypochondriac sundae, with claustrophobic sprinkles, and a big cherry of anxiety on top, so I don't travel much. I read to relax my mind, so I love getting lost in someone else’s story, even if it is only for a little while.
