StolenThe first rule of being Alpha of the Canine Pack is to protect their secrets from the humans at all cost. One look at the dying human at his doorstep and Holden Carter knows he will have to break it. The broken woman with no hope at survival is his mate. When he forces the change on her to save her life, he not only sets forth motions that could risk both their lives, but the lives of every … lives, but the lives of every shifter in the world.
Ariel Sands grew up in a post-Verona infection world and under the care of the very humans she thought had cured the disease. When they betray her in the worst ways imaginable, she finds herself not only mated to the Alpha of a the very species she’s been taught to fear, but the focal point of a traitor and path to destruction for everyone’s way of life. It will take more than trust and a mating bond for Ariel and Holden to not only survive their enemies, but the burn of their own temptations.
Forgiven
Soren Slater is a Beta wolf who understands that duty to his Pack comes before his own needs. At a young age he takes a position as a liaison between his Pack and the other species of shifters. He never expected his enticing flirtations with Cora Wilder, a Tiger Princess, would encourage her cat to consider him a potential mate. He’s forced to walk away, choosing a partner among the wolves to try and strengthen his Pack.
Cora has no intention of forgiving or forgetting Soren’s rejection. Not even when the Packs are forced to live together and she discovers Soren’s former mate has died. But then, she’s kidnapped by the SAU and she has no choice but to work with Soren to escape. Together they must put the past behind them if they’re to survive the human’s evil plot.

Stolen Holden and Ariel story
Years ago a virus called Verona wiped out many humans at that time shifter came out of hiding with a cure. Wolves were locked up and rights taken away.
Holden is a pack alpha imprisoned by government agency SAU. While trying to deal with making his life and pack as easy as he can. The SAU torture starve and humiliate pack.
While trying to run off his frustration in wolf form he come across a almost dead body of a women.
Instantly he knows there mates and he must protect her.
Ariel is thrown over the fencing of the wolf pack to then blame them for her death but when they come to search for her body they can’t find her.
Really like this story and how its laid out. I hate SAU and the way the treated the pack.
Have read previously but wanted to try audiobook because Carrie Ann Ryan has fantastic taste in narrators.
Absolutely loved this more in audiobook Aiden snow beautiful deep voice is perfect for Holden but somehow still makes the female characters sounds feminine can not wait for more in this series
Forgiven Soren and Cora story
There’s history between Soren and Cora that you learn bits from blurb and through Holden story. Soren had to give up his true mate and love of his life to stabilise the pack, with the mating if Holden who at the time refused to mate died with no heir then Soren would become alpha but if he was single the pack would then be unbalanced and maybe become dangerous.
After Holden story because he refused to give up Ariel the punishment was to have feline pack join the in the wolf compound.
After everything Soren did Cora wasn’t interested in having her heart broken again but Soren had completely different ideas. After seeing the golden pack beta Max try and talk Cora into mating Soren realised he hasn’t got a lot of time to convince Cora that there perfect together.
Great story has a lot going on it such a small book. This book is a bit darker and more gritty then other Carrie Ann Ryan books usually have but I really like the change. Really looking forward to next in series and again Aiden Snow does a fantastic job bringing this book alive.
This was a book of two novellas set in a world that intertwined created after a virus struck the human race. A tribes of shape shifters in the future fight for their freedoms from the humans while trying to find their mates.
I am generally not a big paranormal romance fan but these novellas were pretty good and kept my interest from start to finish. I look forward to seeing where this series will go next and would recommend this series to others.
This series is written by one of my favorite authors Carrie Ann Ryan and a new author to me Alexandra Ivy. It is set on Earth but in a time where a virus has destroyed many lives and only shifter blood could save humans. Sadly shifters were rounded up and placed into compounds by the type of shifters they are wolves, bears, cats etc.
The first book STOLEN is about our wolf pack and we get to meet Holden and discover how he finally meets his mate which surprisingly is a human. normally the only humans that interact with the shifters are the military or doctors they bring in to take their blood but someone threw a badly beaten and cut up women over into their compound and when Holden smelled her he knew she was his mate. Course he choose to bite and turn her to save her something the humans had NO IDEA about thus putting the pack in danger. There story is Alpha male and female to the max!
FORGIVEN is Soren and Cora’s story. Seems the humans decided to bring in the Cats or felines (Think Mountain lions) to live with the wolves as punishment for somethings that went on in Stolen. Everyone knows cats and dogs don’t get along ….or do they. Cora is a Tiger Princess the daughter of the Alpha of the Golden Pack. Seems Soren and Cora were mates in the past but he choose his pack where he is beta over her and mated with a wolf. She died and he blamed himself. This is a great love story with lots of other kiss ass stuff in there as well. Can’t wait for the next set of books since the end let us know something big and hairy are next.
