He waited four hundred years for her…She only ever wanted to find her mate…Their time has come.Gates is a legend among his fellow wolf shifters. For more than four centuries, he’s lived without a mate, something nearly unheard of in his breed. He’s spent that time mastering the art of the kill, becoming a lethal weapon for the Feral Breed Motorcycle Club, and earning a reputation as the … Club, and earning a reputation as the Gatekeeper.
Kaija Wariksen grew up as the Valkoisus pack princess. The Alpha’s only daughter and a powerful Omega shewolf, Kaija’s beauty and place within the pack hierarchy makes her the focus of desire for many of the unmated males, especially one she’s desperate to stay away from. She’d rather wait for her fated mate than be just another bed warmer for a man with more attitude than brains.
But when a territory dispute turns into a kidnapping, Gates and his Feral Breed brothers are called to assist the Valkoisus pack in a rescue operation. Gates soon discovers there’s more in store for him than a fight. He finds his mate in the Alpha’s daughter, a woman targeted by a mystery sect kidnapping Omega shifters. To keep the Valkoisus pack safe, the Feral Breed must put Kaija in danger, risking the only thing Gates has ever needed, and igniting a rage that could destroy the entire wolf shifter population.
Full-length novel – adult content featuring a rough-and-tumble wolf shifter, a brave BBW, and some naughty time spent outdoors.

What a man
For a wolf of 400 years, Gates is one fine specimen. I love how the author made him stay his course even when his mate tempted him hard. We got to see so many new levels to the characters, I especially enjoyed the cleaners, and the glimpses into the past. I was so happy that in the end his omega made the right decision, his sacrifice would have been for nothing should circumstances cause the loss of their happiness. I am really enjoying this series and can’t wait to see who finds their mate next.
What I loved about this book was how attached they were to each other after meeting, though they couldn’t be “together” right away. The choice they made in the end was awesome.
Loved that Gates gets his HEA but not without there being a few problems.
Gates is over 400 years old and that is very unusual for a wolf shifter to have not gone rogue due to having no mate.
When he goes to help a pack out, he finds his mate in the alpha’s daughter.
I loved how old fashioned and proper he was in wanting to court Kaija and do things honourably.
Thought Kaija was a bit naive thinking Gates would be happy staying with her pack.
I really cried when Sandman told what had happened to his Margaret. Another of those reasons I do not like this wolf shifter world.
Mixed of old world and new world. You get some of the old shifter traditions mixed in with new ones as the community grew and evolved. Gates(Luke) was over 400 years old and has yet to find his mate until called. To help a pack retrieve 3 females abducted. One being his mate. Who is also the alphas daughter. A princess omega. A prize. Who many want. This ensues the problem when a mysterious collector of omegas wants her. Loved watching the push and pull of their relationship until they completed the bond. He wanted to wait despite mild intimate moments. Almost like a marriage he wanted to make it special like in the old ways. Cool story. Wished that creep chinoo got his though. Hopefully in later books lol.
– Protecting his Omega –
If you like growling, rough and yet handsome wolf shifters who enjoy their motorcycle club brotherhood, then you`ll love Gate and Kaija`s story.
The beginning was – because of Magnus – a bit ‘repulsive’, but gradually the story developed better and better. The end was really good, so I would definitely read the other books.

Negatives & Positives
As far as typos/editing errors, I only found 2 improper uses of contractions. There are numerous repetitive thoughts and confusing actions. Way too much talk and not enough action.
I am disappointed in this one and just want to get through it.
I was looking forward to this 2nd book in the series & thought I would be adding it to my must follow list. I don’t think that is going to happen.
It has some good qualities. Both main characters, Gates & Kaija had a lot of potential to be great reads. There are some good moments & when there is action it is pretty good, just not exceptional. If all the overly talk about it had been replaced with real action and more done with the suspense it could have been fantastic. Also there are inconsistencies with the ‘courtship’ between Kaija and Gates that make you want to go back and reread areas. You keep thinking you misread a previous section of the story. This happens enough times that you finally realize it is not you, but the writing itself.
I don’t know if I will read any more of her books. This one is 3.99 on Amazon & I have to say it is Not Worth It.
A very weird read.
