good sequel
The second in the series where the existence of dragons is now in the public domain but not every dragon wants to be known.
In fact being a dragon is not all that it's made out to be with longevity comes a long memories and not all of these are good.
Unfortunately, Owen's are catching up with him even in his waking hours and affecting his performance at work as a fireman go figure and it is also the reason he eschews seeking a meaningful relationship.
Meeting Simon challenges the walls he has built around himself but also suggests another way of being,
Although, this book can be read as a standalone, it is best appreciated if read in order so that the links with secondary characters are better understood, as well as dragons in this world.
This book has two main characters with a lot of chemistry as well as baggage and you are rooting for them to work things out.
Owen's memories are heartfelt and you enter the darkness with him,
Not an oversimplified m/m paranormal read, Grammar
In thisnd book we read about Owen, Like Liam he is a dragon shifter with a sad past,
Owen works as a firefighter and he is good at his job, the fact that the fire cant hurt him like any other human is one of the reasons.
No one knows that he is a dragon and he wants to keep it that way, One day while on the job he starts having hallucinations about a woman dying in a fire, He is remembering the day, centuries ago, when Liam asked him for his help to destroy the Ebonwings' village, For him Liam was like a father, still is, and he had wanted to help him get his revenge, but since that day Owen hadnt been the same anymore.
He is plagued by what he did and this almost gets him killed while trying to rescue a family from a fire, His boss tells him to talk with a professional, and that if he doesnt he will lose his job,
Simon is a psychiatrist, a man that can help others solve their problems,but still wasnt able to fix himself, The book starts with him and his friend Helen talking about his ex, who he found having sex with another man in their bed.
He and Carl had been together for overyears and Simon was sure they would be together forever and have a family, Simon always wanted a family, he never had a real one, he grew up in fostercare,
When he finds his boyfriend with another man he is destroyed and doesnt know what to do, He sees his dreams crumble and is sure that he will never have a family,
He doesnt want to think anymore, but just have fun and so he decides to go to a gay bar, There he is sure no one will try to flirt with him, he thinks he is ugly and not good enough, but at least he will not be alone.
Well he is wrong, he catches Owen's attention,
Owen is in the same bar trying to find his next one nightstand, his dragon wants to push him to mate and sire, but he doesnt want to.
Centuries ago Owen had been mated, a choise made by the Oracles, not a mate his dragon had chosen by himself, He had cared for Friedric and their unborn baby, so when the man had died trying to give birth to their son and the baby hadnt survived,he had vowed to never get someone else pregnant again.
When he sees Simon he cant stop thinking about the fact that he wants the man for himself, This is the pull. Simon is his mate, something that Owen's dragon understands but the human part of the man still doesnt agree with,
The attraction btw them is strong and Simon does something unusual for him, he asks the other man to come home with him.
They have sex. The scene is really hot but at the same time ridiculous, Who would have sex without a condom with a man he just met
Owen too was an asshole, he knows that Simon could be an omega and get pregnant, but he doesnt care, he just wants to have sex and it doesnt make any sense.
. few pages before he was thinking about Friedric and how he didnt want someone else to die like him, . . bah.
Owen thinks that what happened btw them was only a one nightstand, so when he goes to Dr, Prichard's office for his appointment, he is shocked to find out that his doctor is Simon,
Simon tries to be professional and thestart their session, but soon the human understands that Owen doesnt want to talk about his past and just wants to leave, so he tells Owen that he will help him pass the test asking him only the questions that he will find there.
Owen agrees, since he doesnt want to lose his job, Onlysessions and he will be free,
While we see Owen trying to resist the mating pull and act like what happened with Simon was only casual sex, we also see the human start having strange dreams.
In these nightmares he is Owen also if he doesnt know it yet and is seeing his past, One of the worst scene is when Owen's father abandons he and his brothers telling them that he cant feed all of them and that only the one that will survive the winter will be is real son.
At start the brothers work together, but in the end their dragon's instinct are too strong and they end up fighting each other to survive.
Owen is the last one standing,
I wanted to understand why Simon was able to see Owen's past, we read that maybe he is empathic, but we dont know why or how he become like this.
Owen meets Simon again at Cara's sixth birthday party, Cara is Shane and Liam's daughter and Owen really loves her, He is a little envious of the fact that Liam found happiness and at the same time he knows that one day Liam will lose Shane also if the man doesnt want to think about it.
That day is still far away sure, and Shane is expecting theirnd child, but no one can stop the course of nature, Damn this was really sad, i still hope that the author will tell us that an human mating a dragon becomes immortal bcs otherwise.
. . holy s.
Anyway back to the story,
Owen is shocked to see Simon at the party and the human doesnt know what to do, In the end they act like adults and try to ignore their issue and just party, Some time later they also find the time to kiss,talk and agree on the fact that maybe what happened btw them wasnt only casual sex and that they both want more.
Walking into Simon's office the next day, Owen still doesnt know what he really wants from the human, He knows that his dragon thinks that Simon is his mate, but he never believed in fairytails, They start the session, but soon Owen tells him he wants to talk about yestarday and tries to explain why he acted like that.
He doesnt expect Simon to tell him that he knows he is a dragon shifter or the fact that the man is reliving his past in his dreams.
The session is almost over when Simon gets suddenly sick, Owen understands that the man could be pregnat and tells him he will come to his apartment later to talk with him about something.
When later that night Simon finds out about the fact that he could be pregnant, he is shocked but happy, he always wanted a family.
He still thinks that Owen was an asshole for not telling him that this was a possibiliy, but he already loves this child, Simon tells him that he doesnt need to be part of this if he doesnt want to, but Owen replies that he will not leave him or their unborn child.
They make love and Owen claims him with the bite,
Few hours later, Owen is watching Simon sleep near him, he should feel
only happiness but he cant forget about what happened to Friedric.
Isin the morning, but he needs someone to talk to and decides to call Ivan,
They meet soon after and Owen explains to him what is plaguing him, Ivan advises him to go and ask the Oracles what will happen,
The Oracle tells him that Simon isnt his mate and that the human will die like Friedric, Owen doesnt know that the one talking to him isnt the real Oracle but one of his old enemies who came back to life and is seeking revenge One of Anton's friend.
He almost loses his breath and the pain puts him on his knees, He is now sure that Simon will die and he cant do anything to save him,
When Simon comes back to his apartment after his work he is surprised to find Owen wfor him, The man left him few hours ago without explanation but here he is with flowers and baby items greeting him, Simon wants to run and hug him but his mind tells him that this isnt the real Owen,
Simon doesnt have the time to run away, the entity pulls out a vial and uncaps it and the human passes out.
When the real Owen arrives at the apartment he soon understand that something happened and start to search for his mate, Tracking the scent he finally finds Simon and the person who kidnapped him,
Like Anton, this woman named Sabitha came back to life to get her revenge how they do this and why these dragons have these powers like change form etc.
. . boh
The battle btw them is really short, thank god bcs i was getting annoyed, . .
Owen is able to kill her again and free his mate,
In the epilogue, we see Simon, months later, giving bith to their daughter in the hospital, Owen is near him holding his hand, and when they see the baby they name her Rosa, Soon later Owen shows her to their friends win the near room,
He is finally happy and not scared of the future,
I really wish there will be ard book about Ivan and that the author will explain somethig more about the dragons, their powers and their mates, but i already know that i will not find my answers.

Content Notice: This book contains steamy love scenes and male pregnancy, or Mpreg.
Adults only shifter romance! Okay book, This book was very enthralling and it had me totally immersed in the story, I love dragons and I love romance, fated mates, and lots of passion and this book had it all, including, unfortunately for the characters, horrifying memories and nightmares that were overcome through the love and support of each other.
It took some time but the happy ending truly warmed my heart, Excellent. .stars
I kind of like the hookup ends up being someone important trope, Though this wasnt insta love, it was insta lust, There is a lot of darkness in Owens past that was difficult, There is some action and we see Liam and Shane again, It was enjoyable, but not outstanding, There were several editing errors that stood out and distracted, Overall good for a quick read, I love this series I would have given itif there weren't any grammatical, When I am reading a book and come across errors, it takes away from the story I hope the Author will read this, All in all it is another good book by Wolf Specter, I enjoyed the MC's in the book as well, The beginning for me was a little slow, but it soon picked up pace, The only flaw I found with the book were spelling and grammar issues, Ok read .
This was an ok read for me, I guess I didn't really care for the plot really, . . I guess it was suppose to be a psychological thriller thing I guess, . it was just mind games being played but it fell short for me, . . I wish it was more, I will read the next book because I want to learn more about Ivan, . . I just hope his story is better, I enjoyed this one I liked the characters and their chemistry together, And I liked the story line too, This author is really killing it with the dragon shifter stories, I'm loving it! If you like to read about fighting your demons, This is for you.
Enjoyable cute read! Owen is having problems, His boss sends him to a psychiatrist, who happens to be the guy he had unprotected sex with the night before, And yes, you guessed it, Simon is pregnant. Although the couple do not realize this immediately, They try to be professional, So no sex. Owen does need psychiatric help, He mind is being manipulated by an old enemy, In the end everything is resolved and there is a HFN, Again this book had onlysex scenes, which is way too little, And like the previous book, this is a HFN, not a HEA, Simon's life expectancy is still that of a human, so in a couple of decades he will die and leave Owen alone, And in a few hundred years, Owen's dragon will want to mate and reproduce again, This is not a HEA,.Another good story! Owen was well developed and his relationship with Simon was fun to watch unfold, My only gripe is that the ending felt rushed, We had this build up with the illusions and misdirection, but it's a fairly quick and clean battle and death for the villain, I would have liked to know more about Sabitha, On to Ian's story. .
