Subplots whose inclusion I’d wondered at suddenly became integral to story and everything came together nicely. After that, I couldn’t put the book down. It looked as if things were shaping up to be rather average, but then they got to the wilderness and the action started.
Not too much was going on and I didn’t find the interaction between Charles and Anna all that interesting, though I really liked their interaction in the short story. The beginning of the story dragged a bit for me.
And they are – just not for the reasons he thinks. Given that these attacks are happening so close to the Marrok’s territory, he thinks it likely that someone is provoking him in particular. It is possible that some wolves are trying to make a statement, because the Marrok, the leader of all North American wolves and Charles’s father, is about to come out to the world and let everyone know that werewolves exist. However, they can’t ignore the problem while Charles heals, so he and Anna head into the wilderness to hunt down the rogue. When they get news that a rogue werewolf is attacking and killing humans in the mountains near their territory, Charles is still healing from the wounds he received in the last story. This is not always easy, especially given Anna’s history. So, throughout the story, Charles and Anna get to know each other better and build their relationship. Because it normally works the other way, with two people falling in love and their wolves eventually accepting the match, it’s a bit odd to have this intense bond without the human emotions as a foundation. So, they are now a mated pair, but their human sides still barely know each other. When Charles met Anna, his wolf immediately claimed her as his mate, as did hers. Omegas are prized because they automatically bring a calming effect into a pack. The three years of abuse were bad enough, but Anna is a very rare type of wolf – an Omega – which makes her abuse that much harder for Charles to bear. So, when Charles goes to stop some wolves who’ve crossed some lines, he meets a much-abused Anna. If a wolf steps out of line, Charles takes care of it. As his father’s enforcer, he is basically the assassin for all the werewolves in North America. I’m so glad that I started reading Briggs’s works she consistently impresses me and if you’re a fan of the paranormal, I bet she’ll impress you too.Ĭharles found Anna when he went to investigate a pack in Chicago. There isn’t much backstory found in this book, so I would recommend getting a hold of that short story to make things less confusing, as the story picks up right where it left off. Cry Wolf is the first novel of the Alpha and Omega series, though the series starts with a short story that is included in the On the Prowl anthology.
