I binged this series! Looking forward to the next book in it! Our MMC knows he won't find an omega who will want to be away from everyday much as he is gone from town. Our MFC just wants to check on her family- even if it means going on her own. He is sent to bring her back, more than once! Their time alone shows them that maybe they are what each other needs.

I admit I struggled a bit with Raven. The omegas that were captured in the first book are treated far better now than they ever were in their own village. They are allowed to work, to choose who their Alpha will be, and so much more. They aren’t there to trade for an alliance or just to mate with an Alpha. The Alphas respect the omegas and the entire village tries hard to incorporate them into their society.
Despite all of that she keeps trying to run away and return home. I will say she does keep trying for the sake of her sisters and the worry for them. In fact she even tells herself that if not for them she would build a new life in the new village. I do love that we don’t get a woman who runs away and manages to make it on her own. She fails and tries again. She learns from her mistakes and truly believes she needs to get back to make sure her sisters are alright. Her growth is what made me like her in the end.
Ash is a hunter for his village and pretty much lives on the outskirts of everything. He is gone for days on end at times. He is very much alone most of the time and doesn’t feel that an Omega will take well to his way of life. He is happy and content for the most part in what he does.
He is also the one that is sent after Raven every time she runs. I love that he gets aggravated with having to go after her but also makes sure she is safe. When she pleads with him to let her go and explains why she needs to leave he disobeys and teaches her how to hunt and survive in order to get back to her family.
These two are both so determined and set in their ways that they can’t see how perfect they are for one another. They work together and learn about one another in a way that the previous pairs didn’t. I wasn’t sure I was going to give the book five stars to begin with. On my first read I felt that there was something missing and couldn’t put my finger on what it was. So I walked away and decided to reread the book and see if I could figure it out. On my second read I realized there wasn’t anything missing. I just was so set in my opinions on Raven that I had a hard time letting them go.
I mean this chick keeps running away without having enough supplies or even knowing the direction she is going. These people have done their best to take care of her and help her integrate. Her family sees her as nothing more than a workhorse that will make an alliance for them and then she will be expected to cater to the needs of the Alpha her father chose. After being kidnapped she is given the chance of having the life she wanted. I felt, at first, that if she just talked to someone. Explained how she felt and what was going on.
However, on the second read I realized that she needed to do things this way. It was the only way for Ash to see that he was more than just a hunter. That an Omega could and would love him. Together they found the other half of their souls and a reason to look forward to the future. All in all this was a great read and I can’t wait for the next book.

Raven and Ash
I really liked how this one was different. I enjoyed reading about Raven learning new skills and they patient way Ash taught her. Their attraction to each other was undeniable .

Raven, the female omega lead, has been taken as spoils of battle to a new tribe. But unlike her old tribe, she’ll be given the choice of which alpha is her mate, instead of her father assigning her a mate that benefits him and not her. Unfortunately, she’s too worried about her siblings’ welfare to take advantage of the opportunity she’s always wanted and she attempts to get back home.
Ash, the male alpha lead, is the tribe’s best hunter/tracker and he’s assigned the task of finding the escapee omega before she dies, partially because he explicitly doesn’t want a mate. But Raven is very tempting. And she’s only not succeeding because no one ever taught her. And she’s going to keep trying until she dies if he doesn’t assist her…
This story is dual POV, well written, and a great addition to this series. I REALLY enjoyed Raven’s indefatigability and how her perseverance produced the outcome she desired. I also genuinely appreciated Ash’s support of her endeavours and the way he showed her she was everything she’d been told she couldn’t be. I enjoyed her independence. I enjoyed the animal companion and chuckled at her changing loyalties. I enjoyed the relationship development and the intimate scenes.
