Fractured Fang: Alpha

Rate this book
Start your own pack, they said. It will be easy, they said. It was not.

Alpha Wilder’s life has never been sunshine and roses, but he refused to let that keep him down. When he and his two closest friends couldn’t find a pack to call their own, they decided to forge one of their own. Everything was going well until their senses began to dull making it impossible to hunt or even protect themselves properly. They needed help and when the council let them down, they were left with one choice: asking an enforcer pack.

Omega Franklin loves his life as a member of an enforcer pack. He gets to be his authentic self, not needing to hide his magical abilities like he did around the humans, they treat him like one of their own, despite his lack of fur, and they don’t look at him as any less capable despite being an omega. He had no desire leave his pack, until his alpha sent him on a mission.

When a pack is need of a witch for help, Franklin is the enforcer for the job. He expects to go in, help the pack, and come home. Easy as that. And maybe it would be, but when Alpha Wilder’S scent is restored and claims Franklin is his fated, Franklin can’t leave and he isn’t sure if he wants to.

Fractured Fang: Alpha is a sweet with knotty heat M/M Mpreg Shifter Romance by the popular writing team of Jena Wade and Lorelei M. Hart. It features an alpha struggling to establish his pack, an omega enforcer on a mission that wasn’t meant to include falling in love, a new pack under a spell, true fated love, and an adorable baby. If you love your shifters hawt, your omegas strong, and your mpreg with heart, download your copy of Fractured Fang: Alpha today.

Cute omegaverse story. We have an Omega human witch, Franklin, and new Alpha leader, Wilder of a small wolf pack. They find out their fated mates. While there was an initial hesitation on Franklin's part they get together with relatively fast. Honestly, it was an okay read and start to the series. I found it enjoyable as a short read but also lacking the heat that I love to see in omegaverse stories. Overall, it was an okay read.

It was a pleasure to read this wonderful Mpreg shifter romance. The plot is well-written & interesting with well-developed, likable characters that display realistic doubts & reservations but have undeniable chemistry between them. The secondary characters play significant roles & offered good support throughout the storyline.
It is about: a alpha male wolf shifter (Wilder) & his friends has quite a problem trying maintain their own pack after losing their sense of smell and makes a request for help to an enforcer pack naturally when the “help” (a human male omega witch, Franklin) arrives, things take an unexpected turn.
There is: wolf shifters, witches, comradery, friendship, humor, mild twists, drama, some suspense, magic, fated mates, verbal banter, compromises, determination, steamy scenes, contentment, love & a delightfully happy conclusion.

This Cover!!Heck Yes Hot! I could totally picture Wilder from this cover as Franklin described him at first sight! The title for this book is so fitting! Wilder and his friends branched off and formed their own little pack and then a witch took their sense of smell away! Franklin is a human witch who comes to try to help them. Franklin is living with the Steelwick Pack who have accepted and supported him. I admited how dedicated Franklin was to his pack even as a human. It was part of his hesitation when Wilder finally scented, he was his fated mate. The flow and timeline were well written. We get just enough time in the beginning when they do not know they are mates because Wilder cannot smell, although his wolf knows! I will leave the rest to your reading! Sweet and Sexy fated mate story and we are introduced to lots of characters for a series!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I loved how Franklin from the Steelwick pack finally found his mate in the alpha from the new Fractured Fang pack that when Franklin was sent to help Wilder get his sense of smell back for himself and his two Beta’s. This new pack got themselves in trouble with some witches and then find those very witches as a part of their newly formed pack. I’m looking forward to seeing this pack grow, especially with Franklin and Wilder’s cubs.

This is Franklin's story! I have been waiting for this to happen. It is everything I hoped for. Some of the Steelwick Pack make appearances. But this story is about the growth of the Fractured Fang Pack. Wolves and witches. Found family. The characters come alive; the background is vibrant. I can visualize everything so clearly. I fell in love with Wilder right along with Franklin. Yes, there is a lot of sexy scenes. And there is a baby. This is a feel-good book. I recommend reading the Steelwick Pack books as a reference. They are awesome. You are simply gonna love this book. I can't wait for the second one to be released.

A new pack

Super cute, no angst read. If that’s on your agenda, Alpha will be a great read for you.

Franklin helps Wilder and his new pack. Once Wilder discovers that Franklin is his mate, it’s basically a given. Franklin stays and the book is mostly about growing the pack. I did like the characters we were introduced to and hope we get their stories as the series continues.

I wish there had been a little more development of Wilder and Franklin’s bond. They basically mate and move on and I wish we had a little more substance there. A cute and fluffy, little to no steam and zero angst read overall.

Called on to assist a newly founded pack, human omega and witch Franklin didn’t expect to find a new home when he went to assist Alpha wolf Wilder.
Settling in and developing roots with his small pack was important to Wilder and when the local witches stir things up, experienced witch Franklin was the solution to many of Wilders needs.
As they build theirs lives together, a sense of belonging is finally felt by them and all those that come into their lives to join their new pack.

A low angst read filled with tender moments, humour, the appearance of previous characters and new ones and lovely ending. I’m looking forward to the rest of the series.

This was a good start to the series. A very new pack putting down roots and finding their people. I’m sucker for fated mates and I love the wolf other pairs. I just wish it was so insta. It started out like that but then went straight to insta love. We never really got beyond the surface of truly knowing who these characters were. Wish we had more time getting to know them. The writing was ok. The story left me lacking. The smexy was eh. I want feelings with my smexy time. The side characters were good. I was hoping with the addition of another writer that would make a difference, but I’m starting to think that this author in any capacity just doesn’t do it for me.

I have to start by saying that I have read other books by these authors and this just wasn't as great as other books I've read by them before. It felt really disjointed and disconnected, and also it progressed too quickly in the beginning and got dragged out too long because of that. It unfortunately wasn't my cup of tea, I'm sure others will really enjoy this shifter story, but I however, didn't love it.

I really liked Franklin's character, but the way this story was written just didn't pull me into the story. I was hoping to like it more than I did.

No real plot or substance

I skimmed most of this book. The start was a jumble of internal dialogue. The “plot” mentioned in the description was resolved almost instantly, there was no relationship development (all we really got was internal dialogue telling about how it developed, but not showing it) and even the spicy scenes were shallow. There were only two and they ended before they even really started. Overall the book is lackluster and poorly written.

A bit disjointed

The plot of this book was very interesting but the story itself was very disjointed. Each chapter seemed like a time skip and the flow of the book was off. The characters and story itself were cute for a quick read which made the weird timing g easy to ignore.

Great Start!

Great start to a new series that has cameos from two of the other series. This story is about the beginnings of a new pack and their initial struggles. The romance was sweet and the found family was lovely.

This is the first book in this series and a spin off from the previous series. You can enjoy it without having read the earlier series first. This is the story of Wilder and Franklin. Wilder is a lone wolf who has joined with two others to form a pack. He is an alpha and pack alpha. They are all learning as they go along. Asking for help after being hit with a spell is difficult to do. But they can't continue without their sense of smell. The Steelwick Pack sends two wolf shifters and a witch to help. Franklin is a human omega and witch. He sets out to help this new pack break the spell. Though initially attracted to one another, Wilder can't know for sure that Franklin is his mate without his sense of smell. When he finally get it back, he goes all in to win Franklin. Franklin is having serious doubts about Wilder's claim to being mates. He is a human and a witch. He shouldn't have a mate. He never believed that he would be lucky enough to have one. This is their story. Wilder and Franklin have incredible chemistry. This story is well written and easy to read. The two have a lot of challenges ahead but they will get through it together. I really enjoyed this book. I am looking forward to the next book in this series.

There is hope! Alphas, Wilder, Macs and Perry are forced to leave their pack and form their own. It is not as easy as it seems with them being Alphas. They face challenges of which they are unprepared. They loose their senses which are key to survival. They seek help from the enforcer pack. Omega witch Franklin, is content with his role in the pack. He's accepted, respected and considered one of the pack. He is sent on a mission to help Wilder and his pack. He and Wilder are attracted to each other, but that just creates more complications. Wilder thinks he knows the source, but he needs his senses restored first. Great follow on to Steelwick series. Great idea to read them first if possible. This writing duo can't write a bad story and their series are enthralling! Will Franklin be able to help the Alphas? Will Franklin and Wilder forge a team? Great story. Franklin shines in this story. Well done! I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This start of a new series shows promiss. I have read many a book by both and I know what to expect. This was a light quick and entertaining read and I look forward to more in the series. What I enjoy in these books with a mix of shifters, witches etc. is fated mates, the support, camaradery and 'pack bond' and Mpreg and pups part and not least of all the strong Alpha Mate and omega characters.
In here I appreciate the supporting characters and ofcourse Franklin, which we met before in the Steelwick series, and Wilder their commitment. I would have liked a little more development of both their relationship and characters since they are the lead characters in this volume.All characters are painted with broad strokes, but I bet we get to know more about them in the following books.

After watching so many of his friends become mated and have babies. Franklin convinced himself that he may not ever have a mate. Dedicating himself to his work.
A magical mishap of three alphas, placed him on the path of his new life and many unexpected journeys.

Alpha Wilder never imagined he was mating material. Now a leader of a very small, new pack - all three end up in a precarious position and require magical assistance.

Wilder and Franklin meet, the sparks are apparently there, but there is one element missing. Once remedied, these two are inseparable. Surprised at first, it didn't take long for them to fall into step with their fate, and fast growing pack family.

Fractured Fang: ALPHA

I really enjoyed the first in this series. I have read the others with the other wolves- Greycoast is one.
This series is great though because it starts from nothing truly but 3 Alphas who decided to make Wilder their Alpha. Then along the way they add Franklin, a human Witch, Wilder's mate, and Edith and Philip, the 3 young witches, and 3 new babies.
I am looking forward to seeing who will arrive for one of the other Alphas.
I have also thought about the babies. They may not all be pups. I am thinking the girl the one they think is already powerful is a Witch and a very powerful one.
Loving to see how things will go.
A definite MUST READ.
10/10.

Fractured Fang: Alpha, is pure delight from beginning to end and I can't wait to find out what happens in Beta!

This is the first book I've read by Jena Wade,and my first MPreg storyline, so I admit I was just a bit skeptical at first, once I opened the book I was unable to put it down, even at work - finding ways to sneak it open and read a paragraph here and there. I even skipped lunch to read as read much as I can before going back to work.

Ms. Wade's Alpha, is full of heart and soul, leaving the reader thankful that there is more to life than what we see everyday in the news: there is hope, friends, family, and love.

Sweet romance between an alpha shifter and an omega witch

This was a lovely story of a shifter pack made of found family. When they are spelled by witches, Wilder asks for help from an enforcer pack which sends omega witch Franklin to help his pack get their sense of smell back. Both are attracted to each other right away, Wilder suspects it's more than that. But until he gets his sense of smell back, he can't know for sure. And even then human witch Franklin needs some convincing. I liked how quickly the two faced their fate and worked together to build a new strong pack of family.

Three lone wolves became their own pack without realizing it, Wilder was alpha also Perry and Macs were betas. They went to the property that Macs inherited started fixing up the house ran into 3 young witches that cursed them and took their sense of smell. The witches left so Franklin was told by his alpha a friend of Wilder’s to go and help them, without the sense of smell Wilder’s wolf knew Franklin was his mate but wasn’t sure. Took Franklin a bit to understand that it was meant to be. Go pregnant and two more joined the pack plus the witches were brought back to them. Good book!.

This first story in a spin-off series starts with a bang. Wilder and his pack have to deal with having a spell placed on them and they need help. They reach out to another pack and help arrives in Franklin, an omega witch. But not just help arrives. For Wilder, pack alpha, omega Franklin is not just bringing an assist. They are attracted to one another and along with the issue that brought Franklin to him and the pack they have to sort through their relationship as well. They are fated and this was a good first story in the series.

Not sure what I was expecting just looking at the cover but what I actually got was a nice start to a series with a MC I come to loved. Franklin was an important side character in the Steelwick series but in this one he finally got his forever after. I didn't realize he was an omega until he met his fated with the pack leader Wilder. That pack bond with Wilder and his betas was strong so we get a no angst journey filled with discovery, trust and love. Towards the end we get new pack members and sweet babies. I enjoyed every part of this new series and can't wait for more.

Wonderful, engaging, steamy story. Wilder, an alpha wolf shifter, and two other alphas set up their own pack together after being lone wolves. When they have some trouble with witches, a neighbouring pack sends help n the form of their healer witch, Franklin. Wilder knows Franklin is his mate, once the spell is lifted and his wolf confirms it he wants to make Franklin his immediately. Franklin is nervous, Wilder won’t let him go, he will show his mate they are meant to be. Sweet, steamy, engaging, romantic story with amazing chemistry, a little danger and a wonderful HEA.

I loved Fractured Fang: Alpha by Jena Wade and Lorelei M. Hart. It's the first book in the Fractured Fang series. I loved Wilder and Franklin's story. By the end of the book, their little pack of three has tripled in size. Franklin was my favorite character. From his denial that he was Wilder's mate because Franklin was human to his surprise at finding out he was having triplets for his first pregnancy, he was such a loveable person.

This was book 1 in the "Fractured Fang" Alpha Wilder and his two friends decided to put down roots and start there own pack. When the guys lose their sense of smell by crossing some witches. Omega witch Franklin is sent to help them. Franklin loves his life as enforcer and when he first meets Wilder he likes what he sees. Wilder's wolf keeps telling him that Franklin is his mate. This was a good read from authors that I love to read. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

Franklin and Wilder were a great match

This was a good low angst read. Franklin and Wilder start their lives together pretty quickly (mates and all) but there’s still good progression in their relationship as they grow into their new pack and life. I liked the plot with the witches and how it worked with the pack. My only issue was I found the timeline a bit hard to follow sometimes and was sometimes a bit lost as to exactly how much time had passed. Beyond that little niggle it was a fun read.

Fractured Fang is a low angst, romantic, sweet, funny, and family-oriented book. Wilder and two of his pack are heading to a pack member's old home. There they encountered witches that are trying to take land and wind up losing their sense of smell. Franklin is a human witch that is supposed to be helping them but ends up finding his mate, Wilder. The book is a great read, with a good flow to it, and great likeable characters and I'm looking forward to the next book.

I enjoyed this book. Wilder and his betas went looking for the land that one of his betas had received. Fast forward a few months and Franklin was called to help as Wilder and his pack lost their sense of smell from some witches. Franklin helps out and then discovers that Wilder is his mate. This was a no angst, sweet read of fated mates and how they got together. Great chemistry and heat between the MCs.

Pack struggles leads Wilder to his mate when Franklin is sent to help them discover how they have lost their sense of smell. Franklin is more hesitant due to being a human in his pack, but the connection and chemistry between them soon becomes too hard to fight. Nor does he really want to. When the enemy makes themselves known, will Franklin and Wilder be able to make their relationship work? Or will outside forces cause them to be torn apart?
