  This little shorty highlights the relationship between Cullen and Adam, Declan's two beta wolves from the first story,
  Called to Mate.
  
  Cullen and Adam have been together for 6 long years, but have never officially mated. They have a fabulous and loving relationship, which includes a healthy and passionate sex life, but they have yet to make their mating bond official in the eyes of the pack.
  
  The story follows Cullen as he struggles to deny his need to be mated to the man he loves. Unfortunately, Adam has a lot of hang-ups on the issue and is hesitant to make an honest wolf out of Cullen in any official capacity, in fear that something will happen and he'll lose Cullen completely. As it stands, Adam is happy in their relationship and doesn't see the need for change. But Adam is beginning to realise that if he doesn't make the big commitment that Cullen so desperately needs from him, then he may just lose Cullen anyway.
  
  This story had my 'feels cavity' full to bursting during this tiny little story. I really felt for Cullen and his need to have it all with Adam and his fear of losing it all if he only asked for what he wanted. I even understood Adam and his trepidation regarding the intense life-long commitment of mating. But ultimately, these two were head-over-heels in love with one another and their willingness to do whatever it takes to make the other happy was all consuming.
  
  One issue: I wasn't all that fond of the fact that after they mated privately, they also decided to mate publicly in front of the entire pack for good measure. Eek! Granted, it was smoking hot, but it felt like much too private a matter to be getting down and dirty in front of everyone they know. I don't care if this was "how things are done" because Alpha Declan didn't mate Quinn this way in book one, so we know it's not necessary to make it official. But I digress...
  
  Off to read the next book -
  Micah's Refuge...

  I really liked this shorty about the two beta wolves, Cullen and Adam. Right up until the point their mating had to be consummated while the entire pack witnesses.
  
  Still, it’s a nice shorty.

  Deliciously sweet angst goodness. It's an odd thing that they mate in front of the pack but it's also cool that it isn't made out to be some exotic erotic thing for a PWP book. Okay so this is PWP but the ritual feels like a ritual of a different culture not just there for titillation. It was sweet and romantic and a little funny. The people watching weren't even mentioned during the act.
  
  Anyway, cute story.

  Das war wirklich eine süße Story. ich mochte den kleinen Einblick in dieses Pack und seine Mitglieder. Leider war es sehr, sehr kurz. Eher wie ein Teil einer großen Geschichte. Trotzdem haben mich die Charaktere angsprochen und berührt.

  This book works for me because of how much history is evident between Cullen and Adam. This is the culmination of their story. The bond is already clear between these two, and was in the first book. Finally here we get to see it realize.
  
  Cullen and Adam have been together for 6 years, there's so much history that goes into that. But Adam's fears of being truly bonded and allowing the mate bond to take hold have stretched Cullen to the limit. I really felt for Cullen and how no matter how much he loved Adam, not being able to have that final commitment and bond was killing him.
  
  This didn't need to be a long story, this was all about the pivotal moment between these two and it was hot and sweet, everything it should be.

  Short, sweet, and straight to a very hard point. ;) Cullen needs to know Adam is in it for the long haul and Adam is scared of being trapped in a loveless bond. Honest communication and good friends bring around their happily ever after. It doesn't hurt that there is a lot of hot love throughout.

  Alright
  
  I was hoping for a story for Adam and Cullen, and I got one this is a really good book . The only part I did not like, is the sex outside in front of everybody I just think that's something that should be private.

  I got this ebook for free from Kindle Store. I was not familiar with the back story (and got book 1 only after finishing this one) but it was okay and didn't really prevent me. It was not spectacular but it was a fun read. (After reading Book 1, I realized that Adam and Cullen are barely there and this story does a better job at getting portraying their characters, although it is still not enough.)

  Finally Adam and Cullen fully mate. It took Cullen telling Adam he could not keep living this way. After Adam talked to Quinn, he admitted he could not loose Cullen because of his fears. So he and Cullen talked and completed the mating. I can not wait for the next book. Erin

  This was a free book and was a short story. It was an ok read, short and sweet. Basic story of fear of commitment over loss of loved one for ever.
  Characters were interesting and the story was an easy read. Didn't leave me thinking WoW, where is the next one but I enjoyed it.

  I liked this one and ah, well, there is a book I should have read before to find out more about the characters. They are in love (even if they won't admit it) and live together, but that is not enough for one of them. How he gets his partner to commit you have to read for yourself. ;)

  A decent short-story that fans of the author's Pack Mates series will appreciate, highlighting how the tension between the betas, two bed-buddies where one desperately wants to be more and the other doesn't.

  I love this series by Lynn Tyler. It's one of my favorites. This novella is sweet and a bit of an emotional roller coaster ride. If you haven't tried this series yet, I recommend it!
