*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
A great addition to this interconnected world the authors all have going on here. We travel back to the Andorra Sector as an omega is traded to the sector as an experiment to see if they can successfully mate. Makes for a great steamy story as the romance develops no matter how much she fights it. I look forward to more books in this series. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
This novella about Elias and Daciana’s story runs parallel within Ander and Kat’s story. Elias is seen a bit more sensitive and a lot less Alpha brut, in this story than in the first book. Being denied an option of mating with Kat, Ander gives Elias permission to court Daciana when she arrives to test whether the two clans are compatible when it comes to mating.
The love story that evolves between them before finding out whether they are compatible, makes the HEA, more the sweeter.
Very quick read. While I read this via Kindle Unlimited, i highly recommend this book. Well worth your time & $$.
I definitely loved this book, the dirty talk alone makes it worth the listen! Elias is sweet and possessive and damn good at dirty talk. This was a great peek at what else was going on while Ander and Kat were working through their issues in book one. Again, I love the writing, the world building, the characters and the way Lexi C. Foss is able to put together an entertaining story.
I read this in audio form. This sexy and exciting story almost lost me because Daciana was so very broken. Then Elias entered and was so warm and supportive that I gave it a chance and was thrilled I did. Watching Daciana come into her own was thrilling and watching big bad Elias fall for the little omega was totally heartwarming. Listening to the back and forth between characters helped make it more real. Totally enjoyed.
4.3 stars
This is the story that takes place between Daciana and Elias behind the scenes of the first X-Clan book, Andorra Sector – although you don’t really need to have read that one to be able to follow the story here. I loved Elias, and to get the chance to see how he courted and won over Daciana was pretty great. She’s a strong Omega, but she’s been emotionally damaged. Her mother was repeatedly abused to her resulting death by the Alphas of her pack, so she is terrified at the prospect of being given to the X-Clan pack to help with there lack of Omega situation. As Elias learns more about her past and who she is, watching them connect and fall for each other is amazing. He’s smitten with her, but wants to give her space to figure things out. The chemistry is high, and when they finally connect it’s intense and very steamy. Overall, just a very enjoyable book. Not a lot of secondary characters here, the story is very simple, and is really better for it, since it’s really a novella side story.
Sarah Puckett and Kale Williams, as usual, are phenomenal narrators, expertly bringing the characters and their personalities to life.
Wow absolutely amazing book. Daciana an Omega with a horrible past full of pain is now forced to go through tests and forced to be mated with an alpha. This soon to be alpha is different from others he kind and sweet to daciana. Their story is amazing and pretty inspirational. I highly recommend it to everyone.
Wow! This story was really good! It kept me on my toes and making me want more. I will definitely be reading more books from this universe.
I havent read the first book in the series. I dont feel too lost because of it. Its very intriguing type of story and normally I dont go for the “hey lets break the female and maybe she’ll be better for it” kind of stuff. I am just not a fan of mistreating women in that way. That being said I actually didnt hate it in this. Lexi has a gift and she did it justice in this story because I dug it. I really enjoyed both characters and by the end I was good with both of them…Elias oh heck yeah…how sweet was he at the end? Daciana got sooo strong and she kicked butt. I’m definitely happy with it.
I enjoyed Elias and Daciana’s story. She was treated so poorly at home and expected the same when she arrived in Andorra. Daciana learns to trust and love.
Wow just wow, this story blew me away. The depth of these characters and the level of intensity of their connections is staggering. I love Elias and Dacinna and want more of their story.
A great book about 2 people who are as different as can be. Trust must be earned and learned for a relationship to become better then those that have been seen. See that love must be learned and returned by both Daciana and Elias the hope for their future and of the X-Clan. I loved this book it was romantic, caring, and the sex is hot too.. Lexi Foss writes the best books and she never has a disappointing book ever. Here writing is amazing , you feel as if your right there in the book, watching this all unfold. This is a 10 star book for me. You have have a hero , a villain, a heroine , and several jerks. I’m looking forward to reading more of this series.
Steamy and well written
A definite must for lovers of animalistic werewolves, rough sex, and soulmates. There are mentions of lethal rape however so bear that in mind if you have triggers.
I kind of wish I would’ve started this one with the first book.
But only because I think if would’ve been nice to understand a bit more about the world that this series is set in and understand what and who the infected are and why they X-clan has immunity while others don’t.
Daciana is an Omega wolf. She’s seen first hand how Alphas use those lower in ranking than themselves. She watched her mother get used and abused and eventually killed by a group of Alphas. So when she is signed up for an experiment to determine if Ash Omega’s are compatible with X-Clan Alpha’s she’s resigned herself to her fate.
Elias has been with Daciana since she was brought to the Andorra Sector. He’s watched her go through test after test and never let out a sound, even after looking at her, he knows she’s been in pain. He wants to take her and protect her, while his wolf has already decided she’s his. Whether she’s compatible or not.
Holy heat levels! Elias is an alpha who knows how to treat a lady. I’m glad I read book 1 first as this one takes place at same time. You can read this as a stand alone but there is very little world building probably due to its relation to book 1. For all that it is a good story and gives a glimpse of what omega women can go through. There is explicit adult content
4 out of 5 stars

Being an omega she has to do this and there are scars from her past that have her shaken to her core .

Daciana is an Omega. Her job is to breed more cubs. She knows that if it doesn’t work, well she doesn’t really want to think about it. Elias, an X-Clan Alpha, spots Daciana and wants her, but can they be together. Will they be compatible? Only the moon or his wolf knows.
Feisty, stubborn, sexy and touching. A sweet yet panty melting omega shifter romance that grabs you from the first page.
This is a spin-off novella set in the same world as Andorra sector.
Especially adoring that one I was really looking forward to this one.
So here we have Elias and Daciana, Alpha and Omega, the former an X-Clan wolf and the latter Ash wolf.
An experiment between the two packs to see if they are compatible as future mates.
Daciana’s upbringing and past experiences have scarred her, her late mother a beta died by the hands of cruel Alpha’s and this has shaped her thoughts and left her distrustful and suspicious of all Alphas motives and ultimate intentions especially towards her an omega.
Elias is second in command to Ander he is in charge of all security when it comes to his pack.
He instantly feels drawn to the tiny meek omega female wanting to protect and cosset her shielding her from any ill intentions.
So right from the start here I could feel the deep connection these two were forming.
This was so heartfelt but at the same time was super hot and sexy.
I really appreciated the stripped back low angst feel this had.
enjoyed this a lot it was a great addition to the series and I am looking forward to reading more set in this world.
I voluntary reviewed a copy of The Experiment (X-Clan #2)

An amazing story, I only wish it was longer!
We saw glimpses of Daciana and Elias in the first X-Clan book, here we get to see how they came to be a couple. Whilst you can read this as a stand alone, with it being a novella, I would recommend reading Andorra Sector first so that you fully understand the world and it’s inhabitants. It’s also a really fantastic omegaverse/shifter tale, just like this one.
Somebody really needed their behind kicking for not having explained to Daciana just how valued she was by both the Ash Wolves as well as those of the X-Clan. An omega deeply traumatised by the situation she had been ‘rescued’ from, it was no wonder her expectations were so low and she was prepared for the worst. Thankfully she got the best, in the alpha that is Elias. He is just so protective, so caring, so totally and utterly swoon-worthy that you can’t help but fall in love with him.
The Experiment totally drew me in and I couldn’t turn the pages quickly enough. It’s hot, sexy, full of feels and a sheer joy to read. I guarantee that once you pick it up you won’t want to put it down until you have finished the book. You will be captivated by Elias and his ability to heal the mental and emotional scars that Daciana carries. I’m also certain you will be cheering this pair on from the sidelines, desperate for them to get their HEA.
My WILF!
Sigh, Lexi C. Foss wrote my WILF’s story!
***swoon***
Elias is second-in-command to the head of the X-Clan and is about to get rewarded for his loyal service. The Ash Wolves Alpha, Dušan, has agreed to an arrangement with Ander Cain, the X-Clan Alpha, a trade: Omegas for technology. Daciana will be the first Omega sent to the X-Clan: an experiment to see if the two wolf breeds can mate and breed successfully.
I couldn’t wait for this novella, and I wasn’t disappointed!
Lexi C. Foss understands how to break a female character and rebuild her into something better. Daciana starts as a brittle collection of iron shavings, and by the end, she is a battle hammer who can annihilate any oncoming threat. I’ve read Andorra Sector, and the timelines overlap. Those Omegas under Daciana’s wing are growing in number, and her swinging arm is looking swole. She is badass just like her mate.
It’s my opinion that there is a tad bit of re-writing of Ander being done in this book because he had crap for brains in his book. I’m not a fan of this type of retreatment. Some of Elias’ early Andorra Sector behaviors are shined up too. I’m an a-hole, and I don’t want excuses for the prior bad behavior of other a-holes. Just make them redeem it in the future, but don’t re-write them. So–boo on that.
But other than shining those a-holes up and making them more loveable, I think that this story is all you could want it to be, and it keeps up with and is equal to Andorra Sector, but for the fact that it is a novella. –Augh WILF you get short shrift in the worst form.
I can’t wait for Winter’s Arrow. Please more jerks for me to love, Lexi C. Foss. I love my men mean and sexy!
