A Wolf apart …The legend of all wolves series …. book 2…. Maria Vale
Can a human truly make room in her heart for the Wild?
Thea Villalobos has long sincerely given up trying to be what others expect of her. So in Elijah Sorensson she can see through the man of the world to a man who is passionate to the point of heartbreak. But something inside him is dying…
Elijah Sorensson has all kinds of outward success: bespoke suits, designer New York City apartment, women clamoring for his attention. Except Elijah despises the human life heโs forced to endure. Heโs Alpha of his generation of the Great North Pack, and the wolf inside him will no longer be restrained…
My Review …
Elijah is a success in the human world, women, apartments and money. Itโs all his, on a plate for him, but he hates the human world. Itโs a facade he canโt continue for much longer, but he has to, his pack rely on him. But itโs killing him slowly.
We see this story through Elijahโs eyes. His loyalty and duty to the pack is evident in his sacrifice. He longs to be free, he longs for the pack life.
The levels in the pack hierarchy is very insightful. The stories are so different from what Iโve read before. These wolves live and breathe pack life. They shift into their โhuman skinsโ only when necessary.
The structure is different in these books. There are alphas for each age group(called an echelon), and they in turn answer to an alpha pair.
Thea is human, she doesnโt live like other people. She doesnโt suffer fools, she speaks her mind, so she is an ideal mate for Elijah, but wolves donโt mate humans, so if he takes her back to the pack, this could spell trouble for the couple. She makes him feel alive, as only being in his wolf form could bring him.
So, will they be allowed to stay together? Will Elijah sacrifice his happiness with Thea? Will he choose pack over his own happiness?
