Bad... Very bad. Cringe. Awkward. Dumb. Frustrating.
SPOILERS AHEAD!
Some of my "favorite" lines:
"Mine. My wolf growled within.." (17%) - okay so we found that out quickly.. NO.
"Claim. Take. Mine. Mate...I knew deep down in my soul that he was my mate. My omega mate" (25%) - wait for it. We are still not sure..
"Is he your mate? Lyle thinks he is your mate.” I groaned. “I don’t know. He can’t be, can he.." (32%) - what do you mean?????
"Dude, you’re not gonna let your fated mate just go live in the omega dorms. Come on.” “Fated mate?” Lyle’s lips pursed as he stared at me. “Yeah. Fated mate.” “You think Cord is my fated?" (50%)
- what do you MEAN? you are a whole ass alpha wolf. From page 10 you know this. But no. Let me question everything like it's my first time hearing it.. Not like my inner wolf doesn't chant it in my head...and it's like this until the very end. And the omega just accepts it like it's perfectly normal that he hears it all of the time in his head too. He doesn't questions anything not once.
"Promise not to get weird if I tell you something?” “Absolutely.” He kissed my shoulder. “I’ve never been knotted before." (59%) - okay this was.. I had to put it down for a day at least when I read this..like..you are a wolf for a week. You don't say? You don't say you have never been knotted? And again. He does not question anything. Why the alpha calls him omega? What does it mean? What is a knot? Why is he wet? He lived as a human for more than 20years and all of a sudden he is comfortable with getting wet and pregnant.< /spoiler>
There was more nonsense other than these but I just scanned the pages at this point. Don't bother. There are many more much much better books than this.

"Lyle continued to push at me until we were out of sight. It was a smart move..." - you just discovered a random ass wolf on your territory and the smartest move is to let your beta push you away from it.. and leave your whole ass pack to deal with him instead. Honestly this is were the face-palming started. (16%) Byrom, the pack alpha, was useless and dumb. His brother had more reason and was more loveable but of course.. Of course he didn't want to be THE Alpha."Mine. My wolf growled within.." (17%) - okay so we found that out quickly.. NO.
"Claim. Take. Mine. Mate...I knew deep down in my soul that he was my mate. My omega mate" (25%) - wait for it. We are still not sure..

I love nothing more than diving into a good shifter book. Especially a MM shifter book.
This was not a good shifter book. There were so many problems with this one. A pathetic alpha, a unappreciative, selfish omega, and a beta that would have been banished or killed in any other shifter book.
I finished it....barely.

The writing is oddly stilted, probably the result of the dual authors.

Cord has really just wanted to succeed and have a stable life now that he is on his own. Byrom has always known he would be alpha but with the sudden death of his fathers he has to take on the role earlier than expected along with the pressure to find a mate. Cord’s first shift puts them both in danger and forces Byrom to become the modern alpha he was meant to be.
I enjoyed this book and this pack, you always knew who the bad guy was going to be but not quite how it was going to go down. I liked the twist near the end with the neighboring alpha that shows that all packs don’t follow all the old customs. I look forward to the rest of the stories in this series.

First and foremost, this book lacks a good editor.
Good editor would've fixed everything else that is wrong with this book.
That said, it's an easy, fast and forgettable read, without any depth.
If you are ok with all that and have no expectations, it can be an entertaining read.

Very, very cute omegaverse novel.
It wasn't overly complex and I wished the characters would have been sliiightly more fleshed out, but still: it was endearing, romantic and fast. It even had a bit of angst, a tiny bit of hurt/comfort, the always welcome "if you hurt him, I'll kill you" trope that I'm utterly weak for, and even a smidge of pining, so triple kudos for that.
I'm slowly but surely (and cheerfully, I might add) jumping on the Mpreg bandwagon, although I still prefer my romances devoid of babies. But well, I'm already a sucker for the omegaverse genre and since hardly any of them are without Mpreg (and, fellow readers, if you know any PLEASE, please, let me know: recs are 1000% welcome), I'll deal. The epilogue was very, very sweet though. I'm so curious to read the next book and get to know Lyle a bit better.

The unknown
Cord was an orphan and human, he thought. He found out differently the day he went for a run. Cord is his mate. Jena Wade draws us into the pack. Great read!

No relationship development. Inconsistent time lapses. Lots of telling. Wimpy alpha who kept omega in the dark. DNF.
