Cain Thaler’s lived more than four hundred years fighting rogue immortals, avenging the family he’d lost. It’s all he’s needed, all he’s wanted. That changes the fateful day he lays eyes on his fated mate.

Olivia Waden, a werewolf princess, is nothing like him. Unwilling to give her up, he sets a plan into motion: ignoring his need to claim her, he befriends her. Despite Cain's best efforts at friendship, Olivia has fallen hard for him. It is him she dreams of, him she wants as her fated mate. But she is sure he doesn't feel the same way. In way over her head, she has no option but to run away from the only man she's ever loved.


Will Cain find Olivia before it's too late or will their differences tear them apart?

After waiting centuries for his mate he finally finds her while watching over the King's wife's sister Jocelyn. Cain, at that moment had the distant instinct to take her and make her his own. He followed her for a little while and found out she was also an immortal but a werewolf. Her brother is also the alpha of the pack. 

Olivia doesn't know much about the immortal world because her brother is a little bit overprotective of her. She is also kept on watch and is always left in her home away from everyone. But one day her brother decides to take her to the immortal council and she meets Cain. After a little while Cain befriends Olivia and decides to give her time to adjust some more to the Immortal life and learn more about everything before he decides to tell her that she is his. But is it too late to do so on Cain's part? This is a beautiful love story and I really like the way Cain fought his urges to take her then and there. He wanted to make sure Olivia was ready for everything and I find that sweet. Olivia knows that she can't tell if she is his mate but she really wants to be. She gets away from him because she loves him. She doesn't believe she is is mate and he doesn't show her that she is, he treats her more as a friend. When he finds out she left, he thinks it was because she knew she was his mate or because she was just running away. But he feels like crap afterwards. 

But as for everything that is going on Olivia's brother Landon has other ideas for her. So could this mean a huge fight between Cain and Landon? Will Olivia have to chose between her brother who has loved her and tried to protect her all her life or the man she loves who suddenly pops up in her life?  

really feel in love with the characters, Cain is a bundle of hotness and Olivia is outgoing and beautiful. I really enjoyed ever part of this book and can't wait for the second one. Everything about this book blew me away from the characters to the story line. J.L Sheppard did a wonderful job writing this story.
