He and his brothers had helped Blaze and the Feral Breed to free a group of kidnapped, enslaved and abused Omegas, and defeat the heinous men responsible for the travesty. Now, Dante is asking him to help another Omega, one who had actually been a victim of the nightmare he'd witnessed only a few short years ago. Thaus was a man of few words who enjoyed the peace and solitude of his cabin located in the mountains of the Northwest United States, but as luck would have it, both packs were located fairly close to him.
Or maybe it's not luck at all It only takes one look at the beautiful Omega shewolf Ariel for Thaus to know that Ariel is his fated mate, and after a millenia of waiting, he would become the fourth of his Dire brothers to find their mate with an Omega, who also named after an angel just like the other three. But things just got a lot more complicated when Alpha Chilton refuses to back down. Ariel is his to claim!
Unfortunately, in order to claim her as his mate, he'd first have to convince her to trust him enough to allow him to touch her. Poor Ariel is suffering from PTSD as a result of her abduction and abuse, and refuses to allow anyone to even get near her, much less touch her. What's a Dire Wolf to do? Will Thaus be able to convince the emotionally challenged Ariel that she belongs with him?
Will he ever be able to touch his mate? And can he save her from a despicable, malevolent Alpha determined to claim her for himself? No spoilers from me but I will say this Handsome, sexy and very determined Dire Wolf-check! Beautiful, stubborn and distrusting Omega shewolf-check! Danger, drama, betrayal, action and a new, but old malevolent enemy-check!
Heated attraction, fiery passion, sweet romance, steamy, dreamy sex and one Dire Wolf determined to claim his mate-you bet! That and a whole lot more! Aug 26, Heather rated it really liked it Shelves: Thaus has taken on many challenges over and over, but his biggest challenge yet remains in his newly found mate Ariel. The weapon master of the Dire Wolves may be good at blowing stuff up or dealing with arsenal for missions however he wasn't prepared for the threat to his mate or the fine line he has to tread from the scars of her past.
Ariel is an Omega that was once kidnapped and tortured has has the everylasting scars inside and out. She doesn't like to be touched, sudden movements, or be arou Thaus has taken on many challenges over and over, but his biggest challenge yet remains in his newly found mate Ariel. She doesn't like to be touched, sudden movements, or be around anything that triggers her memories. Now she has an Alpha demanding a forced mating with her and Alpha Chilton won't take no for an answer.
This can be read as a stand-alone but it is better and fully enjoyed if you have read previous books in the series or her other series. They are all connected at some point. Beware reading this is you have issues with rape and the PTSD trauma that comes with surviving it. There is no actual rape portrayed but it is there in context of memories, flashbacks, and vague retelling. The story does end happily after Thaus and Ariel work for their mating and heal. I received an ARC for my honest review. What a sexy, smoking hot, action-packed page-turning must read!
You don't want to miss out on this or any of the other awesome stories! Now I can't wait for Phego in the next one, but I will: Aug 24, Sivutha rated it it was amazing Shelves: Thaus is weapon master of the Dire Wolves. He is good at hardcore missions but he was not prepared for the threat to his mate or her past. Ariel is an Omega that was once kidnapped and tortured. She likes to keep thing to herself because any could trigger her memories.
Nobly one wolf cause help her heal. Best Dire Wolves tale yet! Thais is bad and consider a berserk so what do the fates pick as his mate but a werewolf the has survive the worse kind of shell a female can go through. See how he deals with a female who doesn't like to be touched. Sad to read about the depth of torture to the precious Omegas Glad for the strength and bravery of their fated mates, the Dire Wolves and courage of the Feral Breed.
Love these two series! Love this Dire wolf pack series. Ariel and Thaus My favorite in the series so far. I liked how Ariel over came so much and had a strong dire wolf to support her and wait for her to work out all her fears. Nov 11, Joyous rated it it was amazing. Enjoyed this as much as the previous ones.
I think the world Ellis has created is full of detail and very believeable. Can't wait for the next! I've been waiting for this book and it did not disappoint. He didn't like to mingle romantically with human females. But when it came to the Omega women, he would give his life in order to protect them. When he was giving the mission to broker a contract negotiation between the Glaxious pack and the Kwauhl pack.
What Thaus didn't expect was to find out that his ma Break Through!!! What Thaus didn't expect was to find out that his mate was caught in the middle of what was going on. Ariel a shewolf and Omega of the Kwauhl was emotionally and physically scarred, she finally found a pack that accepted her for who she was. But unknown to her, danger was lurking around her because of a two hundred year old deal. She had been kidnapped, tortured and went through so much that it nearly broke her but she was stronger than most thought. When the sociopath Alpha of the Glaxious pack wanted to claim her as his own against her will.
Thaus made sure she was safe. Despite knowing that Thaus was her mate, Ariel was still against the idea of him touching her, she was broken. Thaus didn't push her to do anything she wasn't ready for, he gave her the space she needed to heal. He wanted to know Ariel better and understand why she'd built walls around herself.. As he began to break through those say walls little by little, Thaus found himself falling deeply in love with his mate. Same goes for Ariel who came to know a side of Thaus that awakened something in her, she thought she lost.
Danger found them, but the enemy underestimated the length Thaus would go to protect Ariel. Along with his Dire brothers, he showed their enemies why they were a force to be reckoned with. This book didn't disappoint, I've wanted Thaus' story from the moment he was introduced to us. It was magnificent, beautiful and it pulled at my heartstrings. Ellis Leigh delivered another rocking novel. Our Omega is threatened, again. She's strong but terrified.
Thaus is dumbstruck but determined she's never threatened again. Secrets are revealed and bad guys removed with prejudice. All together another great ending, can't wait for the next one. Sep 09, Felicia rated it it was amazing Shelves: While three of his Dire brethren have found their fated mates, weapons expert, Thaus, holds no such aspirations.
He is a loner, and while maybe not content, he is resolved to live and run in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest, leaving only when his brothers need his support, or to handle business for the NALB. With one pack trying to protect her and another trying to claim her, all Omega Ariel wants is to be left alone. Thaus is devastated not only by not being able to claim his mate, but also by the depth of her trauma. Alerting the other Dires, Thaus takes Ariel to his mountain retreat — after she agrees, of course — and reinforces his compound, hoping his brothers arrive before the trouble does.
Trouble does finally show up in an unexpected way, and when Ariel is taken, the Dire in Thaus takes over. Another well-written installment to the series, with good detailed attention given to a character who has suffered serious sexual abuse. This is a Dires mission not to be missed. Aug 22, Ingrid Stephanie Jordan rated it it was amazing. A Dire Wolf Mission Series: The Devil's Dires Destination: Ingrid Stephanie Jordan Genre: This camp was there bread and butter and for humans to have a wonderful time with adventure and nice vacation spot in the West Coast.
Alphas Chilton is a very poor leader, keeping the Glaxious Pack, living in despicable conditions. All he cares about is getting the Omega for himself and than the pack. He wants Thaus to go and broker a contract negotiation, Thaus is a weaponry expert anywhere from hand guns to C4 not a negotiator.
He should deny doing this, than Dante said the magic words "Omega", "Forced Mating". No one will touch a hair on any Omega. Than the man who is always silent, especially around people took the job. A broker meeting was called with both Alphas, Thaus and the Omega. Silently he watched the Alphas bicker when a pissed off she-wolf walks in. Immediately the bond started. Broken, from the abuse, rape, tortured and being chained she escaped these sick men at Merriweather. Ariel is a very strong she-wolf who is just to broken to mate anyone. I was gifted this book for an honest and truthful review.
Aug 23, K Cram rated it it was amazing. I could go on and on, you MUST read this one. I have never had a story replay in my head over and over like this one does. I can visually picture it like a movie and it is on instant replay. Thaus is a Dire Wolf that is sent to oversee a contract dispute involving a she wolf and two neighboring packs. The she wolf is an Omega, which to a Dire Wolf is family, and he will do whatever it takes to protect her. Ariel is an Omega wolf that had been held prisoner for years and escaped.
She has a lot of scars and absolutely can not endure anyone touching her. She finds a home in a pack with an alpha that is caring and where she doesn't have to be afraid When Ariel storms into the room announcing she refuses to go everything changes Thaus and Ariel both realize they are mates. Thaus is huge and intimidating and scares Ariel, but she is also drawn to him and inside knows that he will not hurt her.
Thaus will do whatever it takes to make his mate feel safe and protected with him. Even if that means spending the rest of his life with her in company only and never actually touching her. Thaus is a strong, silent, cuddly giant, and Ariel, well, she is absolutely amazing. She is SO strong. She went through hell, but with Thause as her mate she can overcome anything! Well done Ellis Leigh!! Can't wait for the next Dire Wolf story. I received this book as an ARC for an honest review. Jan 02, Twinsie Talk Angie J rated it it was amazing.
Check out this review and others at www. Thaus is totally rough and gruff which is why I loved hi Check out this review and others at www. Thaus is totally rough and gruff which is why I loved him so much. He is a broody grumpy guy who is kinda wondering if this mating thing his brothers have found is really all that. He is watching and wondering but he is not a talkative guy.
Loyal to the core but very much enjoys silence. Then he jumps at the chance because there is an Omega who is in the middle of the disagreement. She has survived and is just living day by day. Have you SEEN that giant man??? Ariel is worried but chooses to go with Thaus to stay safe.
We only get to read her "censured" thoughts and recounts of what she's been through, but even those brief glimpses are horrifying in their realism. I think the world Ellis has created is full of detail and very believeable. I loved Thaus, I loved Ariel, and I loved these two together. Thaus didn't push her to do anything she wasn't ready for, he gave her the space she needed to heal. Would you like us to take another look at this review? Aug 25, Medavis66 rated it it was amazing Shelves:
Thaus is stunned and will go at a snails pace to keep his mate happy and allow her time to build trust. The story was amazing. My favorite of the series so far.
Claim your mate already!! Aug 30, Jackie Black rated it it was amazing. Before I have to say my favorite Alpha male was Rebel, but Thaus is now my favorite! Over the course her series Leigh has amassed this great group of not only heroes, but heroines and Ariel has to be one of the most courageous. After being kidnapped and held captive, during which she was raped and tortured Ariel became very weary of people. Thaus comes to settle a dispute over a forced mating.
When the Alpha wanting to claim Ariel comes for her they are all in for the fight of their lives. One of the best parts of this book is the delicacy taken with Ariel. There is a very believable progression of Ariel's journey from a very fear driven person to a person who gradually lets Thaus in and becomes more open to human interaction. The thing that makes that most believable is that at the end she isn't all of the sudden cured and perfect. She still has struggles because she went through something very traumatic. Thaus was a great hero. I loved how he knew from he first moment what Ariel needed.
He didn't try to push her into their mating and no matter how much it hurt him he made sure everything they did went at her pace so she was comfortable with him. He protected and cared for Ariel and Leigh did a beautiful job in pairing them together. Defiantly worth the read and would very much recommend her Feral Breeds Series and the previous books in the Devils Dire's Series.
Aug 23, Eleanor The Book Hammock rated it it was amazing. Thaus is a silent type. And then he gets a call from Dante. And special Thaus is a silent type. And special it is. Thaus is sent to be a buffer of a sort between two packs, one claiming a female as fulfillment of an ancient contract. When Thaus first sees Ariel, he knows.
As it turns out, the vicious alpha claiming Ariel has a few hidden cards up his sleeve. Aug 23, Katie rated it it was amazing Shelves: Efficient in explosives and likes to be away from humans. Thaus understands quickly the reasoning, though. The shewolf is another Omega. The subject matter is handled brilliantly by Ellis Leigh.
They work through everything together. Thaus is incredible when it comes to helping Ariel. When the pack that was supposed to claim Ariel get within striking distance of finding them, Thaus and his packmates, Mammon and Phego, will do whatever it takes to protect her. The writing is really outstanding, and I love the world the author has created! Aug 26, Terry rated it it was amazing. He touch me deep in my soul. Any man who can make you have an orgasm just by talking to me well hot damn He made his mate come while talking her through the door while she was taking a bath and I was right along with her.
His strenght is wow! I cannot express how much I love him. This book was so good and I'm really upset it took me so long to read. This was the first week back to school for my kids so I was running around, my Internet was down and it took verizon 4 days. I explained that I need it. It was of dire importance for me to read. Soo, with saying all that if you can see the depth I went through to finish this book off you must realize it is an out of this world book. Ellis has done it again.
She was broken but not beaten. She had sheer will power to survive and overcome her fears. And any girl who wants to blow things up is alright in my back. This book had kidnappers, fear, strength, braverly, strong men, a-hole villians, love, danger, cliffs, and a can of whoop-azz.
Please read it you will not be disappointed. Aug 30, Theresa rated it it was amazing. Absolutely loved the book! If you love shifters as much as I do then you want to read this series! Dire Wolves are suppose to be a legend, some saying they died years ago and others saying they never existed at all. They're the biggest huge, really , meanest naw these guys have hearts of gold , toughest oh yeah , alpha as in ALPHA wolves out there!
This time it's Thaus, he goes in as a mediator Dire Wolves don't mediate well! Lol between two packs. It's what they're arguing about that has Absolutely loved the book! It's what they're arguing about that has him seeing red. Ariel is a survivor, she's been through he!! Or was that Thaus blowing something up? I was fortunate enough to receive this book as an ARC in return for a fair and honest review. And honestly, you can not go wrong with a book by Ellis Leigh. Her writing keeps you captivated from the beginning of her books until the end.
She's my number one go to gal for paranormal romance and she never disappoints! This book, like the others can be read as a stand alone, but after reading this go back to the first Dire Wolf book, better yet go back to the very beginning with the Feral Breed books, you won't be sorry you did! Aug 30, Pam Louis rated it it was amazing. Dire wolf Thaus is the weapons expert of the Dire pack and a weapon himself.
He gets a call that he is needed on a paper pusher job, not at all happy until he hears it's an Omega shewolf being forced into a mating she wants no part of. Omega's are part of The dire wolf pack wither they know it or not and no one messes with them as lives. This Omega shewolf is now his number one priority for this mission until he meets her then she is his life's number one priority. Ariel has a fragile balance in Dire wolf Thaus is the weapons expert of the Dire pack and a weapon himself. Ariel has a fragile balance in her life, she was taken from her pack and managed to get away on her own.
She found a good new pack and is slowly healing but now danger isn't over for her. This one like all the dire wolf stories is amazing. The characters I connected with fast and are great. The storyline is fantastic and the bad guys? I loved how much a hated them lol. Ariel is an interesting mix of sweet healer and damaged shewolf. Her mate and protector is wow hot. Shifter fans if you have not read this authors books you are missing out. Book was given for an honest review and I honestly loved it.. Aug 25, Maria rated it it was amazing.
He doesn't think he wants a mate but when he meets Ariel he knows that he would do anything for her.
