Claiming the Wolf Princess: A Shifting Destinies Novella Kindle Edition

by Cecilia Lane (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.0 out of 5 stars 520 ratings

Darkness rises and darkness comes. With it, the House of Conri falls.

Brokenhearted, non-shifter Rory Conri returns home to the Wolfden enclave. There's only one thing she knows will help take her mind off of her ex: the annual Summer Solstice Ball. But those plans are shattered when her parents, the Wolf King and his Consort, forbid her from attending. Their refusal stems from the fear of her curse—a ruinous birthright that prophesized the downfall of the Conri line the day Rory takes a mate.

Determined, Rory sneaks into the ball anyway. There's no reason for them to worry. Conris only mate wolves, and no one would ever want a non-shifter without a wolf inside. But when a tall and ripped masked stranger claims that she's his mate, Rory questions the life of solitude that her parents have thrust upon her.

Adrien Bloodwing hates suits and masks, and he especially hates balls. Forced to attend by his dragon clan leader, Adrien dreads every second he's at the Summer Solstice Ball until the fleeting scent of his mate catches his attention. He is immediately drawn in by her sultry curves and shocked when she tells him about some silly curse she carries. It's a lie. At least he believed it was before she practically dropped dead in his arms after an innocent kiss.

With Rory whisked away, Adrien is determined to save and protect his mate while also clearing his name of murder. But things only darken as the pair begin to unravel the lies of Rory's past. Together, the two will have to face an evil that has haunted her entire life or forever be torn apart.

    Seriously, I doubted with as short as the story was you could get much of a story told. I was wrong. It was pure excitement from page one to the last!!! It was crazy imaginative, especially on Day 7 of her "death"!!!! I loved it, and plan on reading all the connecting series as well.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Nice Story But Felt Like I Was Missing Something
    Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2019

    This is a nice enough novella but I ended it feeling like I had missed most of the story. Everything happens WAY too fast.

    Rory is cursed. She's a non-shifter in a royal wolf family. For that reason she's kept hidden from society. Everyone knows she exists but they treat her as if she's beneath them. She arrives home a day earlier than expected for a planned visit with the intention of attending her parents' Summer Solstice Ball. Dear old Mom and Dad forbid her from attending. She goes anyway. When she's spotted by her parents' enforcers she runs right into a gorgeous man who claims to be her mate. Of course this confuses Rory as she's been told her whole life that she has no wolf and wouldn't be mated to anybody. And who would want a non-shifter anyway in a land of nothing but wolves?

    That would be Adrien, and he's definitely not a wolf.

    Adrien is a dragon shifter and he scents his mate the minute he walks into the ballroom with his twin. When it looks like Rory is about to be caught by the enforcers he pulls her away and keeps her hidden. That is, until he kisses her at midnight and things go all kinds of wrong.

    I liked Adrien right off. I liked Rory. I even liked Rory's brother Finn (her parents' golden child) even though he had a few moments. Rory's mother and father are jerks, as are most of the other characters in the book. There's a fae queen that had me more confused than anything else. I understood what the point of the fae queen was but it was all so rush, rush that I simply didn't feel that part of the story.

    Not a bad book. Just way too rushed. I wanted to know more about the characters. I feel that the little bit told about their backstories fell flat. I wanted more of Adrien. Perhaps there's more in future stories in the series. Maybe I'll check them out. I'm curious to see what happens with Finn.

    Rory Conri is a non - shifter cursed at birth my a fae queen. The prophecy is if she ever takes a mate it will be the end of the Conri line. So she is sent away to school, lives away from the pack and is never a part of them . After a break up with a human she comes home a day early in time for the summer solstice ball but she is forbidden to attend by her parents the king and his consort. . Ha like that is going to stop her. She goes anyways. Her reason? Conri's wolves only mare wolves and she is a non-shifter safer! Well nope.
    Adrien Bloodwing hates balls, suits and masks. He is forced to attend this ball by his dragon clan leader and is hating every second of it until he catches the scent of his mate.
    Oh wow the twist and turns in this story is great. I love the characters. It's full of action, betrayal, mystery, intrigued, drama, and so much more. It's one of those books you just don't want to end. I loved it.
    Voluntarily reviewed a copy and I honestly loved it.

    Rory and Adrien were good together and for each other, but I felt like there was a little too much info missing by the end, and I was a little confused by the plot conclusion. Loved her brother Finn, but again didn't feel we got enough character developement to believe he'll be a great alpha leader. Not sure if I'll read more. Sorry.

    4.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable read
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 15, 2018

    Rory is the curse princess. Unable to shift and being the harbinger of doom for her pack should she ever find a mate, she’s been kept on the outskirts of what should be her pack. She’s never even attended the Summer Solstice Ball before, but all that’s set to change when she returns home early. Will her mate be there? And if he is, will she trigger the curse her family fears?

    I’m not the biggest fan of novellas but I keep giving them the benefit of the doubt and it’s ones like this that make me do it, as every once in a while you find one that’s exceptional. There’s really nothing to complain about with this one. It’s well written, thorough and doesn’t leave you with questions. It might however wish you hoping for a sequel.

    I couldn’t help but think of ‘Sleeping Beauty’ while reading this one. It’s not a bad thing but something to consider if you’re not a fan of twisted fairytales. But it’s not just sleeping beauty, as you have shifters too; wolves, bears and dragons. It’s not something that put me off of the story, but I couldn’t help but mentally draw up comparisons between the two while reading. You won’t find any dwarves but you will find an overprotective sibling, some cold parents and some loyal clan members.

    I’m not sure if I’ll be continuing with the series, as bears aren’t my favourite shifters, but I’ll be looking into one of the dragon related series in the future.

    Rory was cursed as a baby and doesn't really belong with her pack. She is unable to shift and there is talk of the pack being destroyed should she ever take a mate. As a result, she is banned from attending the solstice ball. When she goes anyway, she is drawn to one of the guests. Adrian Bloodwing isn't thrilled to be at the ball until he realises his mate is there.

    I liked this story, but it wasn't quite as good as many of the author's other books. There seemed to be a lot going on very quickly, but not enough attention was given to any of it.
