About this listen
The pain of unrequited love. The seduction of a second chance. Can these two wolves overcome their doubts to claim each other?
Ryker’s been away from home for six long years, undergoing the rigorous training required of the next pack alpha. Now he’s back, ready to take his place as the leader of Blackwater’s wolves and to claim the man he’s always wanted to be his mate.
Austin can’t remember a time when he wasn’t attracted to Ryker, but when Ryker left town, so did Austin’s dreams that they would, one day, be together. When fate gives them a second chance to rekindle their friendship, Austin is eager to get to know Ryker all over again. But when a spurned suitor tries to interfere in their budding relationship, can these two lovers stand together against a wolf who wants to divide them?
If you like small hometowns, second chances, a dangerously hot alpha claiming his fated mate, and male pregnancy, you won't want to miss the first audiobook in the new Blackwater Pack series. This audiobook has a guaranteed happily ever after and can be listened to as a stand-alone!

Story
Not only is Jaxon a born alpha, he is also one by choice. Or, at least, he's about to be. His adoptive father wants to pass on leadership of the Timberwood Cove Pack to him, but Jaxon has reservations. Why? Because, this shifter wants his mate. When Jaxon scents his fated mate at a local diner, he knows it’s only a matter of time before he claims the man. But their courtship is complicated. Even though Bryce is an omega, he has no idea shifters exist. What's more, he blames a wolf for the death of his sister and his current painful circumstances.

Story
There are two things in this world I know to be true: I have terrible taste in men, and all alphas are jerks. You’d think my own pack kicking me out would’ve been a clue to stay away from alphas. Omegas are rare. We’re smaller, weaker, can’t usually get pregnant...all valid reasons for disowning your own family, right? But it only took one night for stupidly handsome Troy Miyu to make me forget all the reasons I should’ve known better. One night to start falling for him, to realize it wasn’t just amazing chemistry we shared, but a true mate bond.

As we grow closer, my resolve to stay out of his arms is slipping.

Read before Claimed By My Protector!!!
The narrator was great. The storyline was on fleek. I wanted these two together as I read the summary. BUT read this before Claimed By My Protector or Austin and Ryker's story is spoiled for you from the get-go. Loved it!

Nice start to a new series
This was a good story no matter what but I highly recommend reading it first rather than starting with book 1 in the series. Not only does it provide world building to help understand the framework for the series but knowing about the events and characters in this book make the next one more enjoyable. It’s not required to read it first but is well worth it.

Kidnapping is My Kink
We never know for sure what events may trigger an episode for a mentally unstable person. In this story, a returning alpha claims his mate, much to the displeasure of another alpha.
A kidnapping occurs, and our valiant omega has no weapons available. He uses his wits to calm the frenzied alpha. How had no one in the pack realized the depths of madness Nico had descended to?
Narrator Nikola Muckajev did a good job with reading the story. When the tension got high, he became breathless. When the alpha was angry, there was a harshness to his words. He is quite engaging.

I really loved this story, the characters were great and the ending was very satisfying but what really wowed me was the narrator! He was PERFECT! His voice was emotional but not silly. I don’t know how he could read all the sex scenes out loud like that lol Bravo!

A wonderful first look into the Blackwater Pack. When Austin goes into heat, his longtime friend, Ryker, helps him through it and they find out they're fated mates. This story is full of action, love and coming together as a pack. I can't wait for the next story from Blackwater.

Another really good book in the Blackwater Series!
I have really enjoyed this series of books! Each one just seems to get better and they entertain and bring the Blackwater Town and Pack to life. Mr. Kingsley's writing is very developed, the characters are well thought out and the story line's just flow so effortlessly. The narration by Mr. Muckajev added a nice enjoyment to the over all listening pleasure of this audible book. An avid reader/listener in Rock Tavern, NY.
