Sheridan Pack, 5
Circe and Miles had grown up together, and they knew they were moon fated mates. When their pack went to war with another, many people lost their lives, including his older brother. To end the conflict, the two packs decided to unite through marriage. Suddenly thrust into the alpha heir role, Miles feels he has no choice except to do his duty.
Circe is devastated when Miles asks her to stay with him, despite his upcoming marriage. Unable to watch Miles mate another woman, she leaves.
Fifteen years later, he finds her again when she accepts a teaching job in the Sheridan Pack. This time, he is determined they will be together no matter what. But, can she forgive him? Can she truly believe him when he vows she is his everything?
If not, what does he have to do to prove his love for her?
Excerpt:
“Coffee?”
“All right,” he replied. “I feel like we’re going to need a lot of it.”
A wry smile lifted one corner of her mouth. She gestured to the small table. “Have a seat.”
It didn’t take long for the scent of coffee to fill the small kitchen. Once two mugs were filled, she placed one in front of him and then she sat down, wrapping her hands around the other.
“I met your alpha last night,” he said.
“I know. He came to talk to me today.”
“Ah.” He took a deep breath. “Did he warn you against me?”
“Actually, he told me to listen to you.”
Miles’s eyebrows rose. “Interesting.”
“And … he said he’d forgive you.”
“Are you going to forgive me?” he asked quietly.
“I don’t know,” she replied honestly.
An awkward silence fell, hanging heavily between them. After taking a fortifying sip of her coffee, Circe braced herself.
“Truth is, I’m scared,” she said softly. “I’m afraid to give you that much power over me once more. I’m afraid to have my heart broken again. You chose the pack over me, like I was easily disposable. Easily replaceable. I tried moving on. Tried to remove you from my mind. Tried to rip you out of my memories, but you were always there.”
She took a deep breath.
“Guess it’s my time to ramble. You said you’ve loved me your entire life, but I’ve loved you my entire life, too. I never even thought anything would come between us, and when I saw you with her at your engagement party, that illusion shattered. I shattered.”
Looking in his dark eyes, she decided to lay it all out.
“The biggest problem, though, is that I’m afraid I never stopped loving you. You still have the power to destroy me, and I don’t think I’m strong enough to pick up the pieces again.”
This is an entertaining paranormal short story romance book that grabs your attention from the beginning and holds it to the end. The storyline is intriguing as the elements unfold. The characters are well written with steamy chemistry and many surprises to their relationship. I enjoyed this book.
Mate Forsaken is Book 5 of the Sheridan Pack series. It's a short and steamy, paranormal, wolf shifter, fated mates, second-chance romance. Miles and Circe grew up together and were best friends and lovers. They realized they were moon fated mates at 18, but Miles was told he needed to marry someone else for a peace treaty. He wanted Circe to remain his mistress, though. She left her pack the night of his engagement, becoming a lone wolf and ghosting her old pack. Fifteen years later, she ends up taking a teaching job within the Sheridan pack, and Miles finds her wanting her back. Will she forgive him? This was such a great story, although I was so mad at Miles for so many things and how he treated Circe when they were 18. Thankfully, he does redeem himself, and our couple gets their HEA, but this one was quite the emotional roller-coaster ride.

Mate Forsaken by Beth D. Carter is a heartfelt second-chance romance with all the intensity you'd expect from fated mates torn apart by duty and heartbreak. Circe and Miles's love is undeniable, yet years of separation and past decisions make their reunion bittersweet and complex. When Miles finds Circe again after fifteen long years, he is determined to make things right. Carter weaves themes of forgiveness, destiny, and enduring love into this emotional journey, making it a satisfying and touching addition to the Sheridan Pack series. A must-read for fans of shifter romance!
Usually, I don’t start in the middle of a series, but I really like this author and the blurb got me. So, Miles is the son of the Alpha of the pack and they had gone to war with another and there was a lot of death. One of the things that the ‘treaty’ required was that he wed/mate the daughter of the other pack. However, Miles already knew his fated mate was Circe. I was livid with him at this point of the book and wanted to smack him for letting duty take over. They should’ve come up with another solution. So, knowing that she couldn’t watch her beloved be with someone else, Circe leaves. 15 years later, Circe had gone to college and was a teacher. Another pack was looking for a teacher, so she interviewed and joined. This is the Sheridan Pack. The Alpha is Jericho Savidge. I really liked him and his Luna. The pack is really cool and I was fascinated by all of the different interactions and how good Circe is with kids. However, Miles hasn’t given up on finding Circe and goes to the Sheridan pack. Sooooo many reveals and revelations ensue. I felt so bad for Circe. I was heartbroken with her and really upset with Miles for most of the book. He really surprised me tho. I’m proud of him for what he does. They were steamy at the beginning and that fire hadn’t gone out over the years, it was just banked. I can’t wait to read the next book and I’ll have to find the previous ones too, when I can.
Mate Forsaken is the fifth book in the Sheridan Pack series. The initial pages elicited very sad feelings, but fated mates Miles and Circe fought their way through so many mistakes. You want them to get to their happily ever after. That journey keeps you turning the pages through this quick-read romance with an edge of suspense.
Circe and Miles story. I couldn't put it down. I was hooked from the beginning. Wow. heartbreaking at the first and they can have a second chance. Loved it
A wonderful fated mates and a second chance at love story. Circe and Miles once had something but despite the fact that they were meant for each other. it turned out differently and when their packs go to war, Miles is married off to someone else to keep the peace. Will they take a second chance when they meet again after all these years? Miles has always loved her and wants a second chance, but whether that will happen is up to Circe because she was hurt when we left and that broke her heart. I enjoyed their story and it is definitely recommended!
Forsaken Mate was a quick but amazing read. I love Beth D Carter’s shirt books. They are heartbreaking and heartwarming. There is drama and spice. This book has a gut punching heartbreak from the beginning and I couldn’t put this bill down to see what was going to happen next. The storyline was original and page-turning. The characters were complex and had a heartbreaking chemistry. I loved how strong the FMC was in this book. She definitely loved herself and made a decision that rocked the MMC. The MMC was arrogant and trying to make the right decisions for his pack. I loved his growth and his grovel in this book. This book is part of the Sharing Pack series but can be read as a standalone. But be prepared to dive into this shifter series!!! It’s amazing!!
Another engaging well written short story in the Sheridan Pack,Circe and Miles' story. A second chance story that happens fifteen years after he made a mistake in marrying another to keep the peace between two packs, she left and lived with humans. He finds her now living with the Sheridan Pack. I enjoyed their story and would recommend.
Circe and Miles had grew up together and knew they were fated mates. Everything changed when they went to war with another pack, she lost her parents and his older brother. In order to deal a peace treaty, it was arranged that the two packs would unite, Miles being half of it as alpha. Miles believes it is his duty to marry the other woman and ask Circe to stay as his side peace. On the night on his engagement, Circe disappears. He has searched for her for years, fifteen years later he gets a call about her whereabouts. He knows he has a lot to make up for and heads to find her. This is an emotional story, Circe heart was broken by Miles but he did come out unscathed.
This Miles and Circe's story and I enjoyed it quite a bit. After Miles brother is killed in the war with the Pale Claw pack Miles is forced to take his place as the next Alpha. He is to marry the daughter of the Pale Claws alpha in an arranged peace agreement to end the war. This causes a big problem as Circe is actually his moon fated mate and not his soon to be bride. Circe runs away as she cannot see Miles with another. Now years later can redemption be found? Check it out to see. You won't be disappointed!
I loved reading Circe and Miles story in Mate forsaken by Beth D. Carter. Miles and Circe new from a very young age that they were meant for each other but when Miles is put in a difficult position to save his pack he marries another and destroys Circe so she leaves the pack vowing to never return. Years later Circe takes a job in a different pack only to be discovered by Miles. Miles is determined to make things right and get back the only women he has ever loved . This is an absolute must read.
I really enjoyed the story of how he thought he was doing the right thing but it was really the wrong thing and all the consequences that came afterward. I think the FMC owed some responsibility in that she didn't fight Harder for their bond and I also think there should have been a scene where the dad apologizes for his role in all their wasted years. The second half of this story was about his realization of how Poorly he had treated her and his attempts to make it right. It was a fast moving story That didn't get bogged down or overly sad and heavy. Sex was passionate but vanilla and mild to moderately described. I really enjoyed the resolution and the choices he made to put things right.
This book was incredible. I absolutely LOVED it! Miles and Circe were amazing characters. I definitely recommend this book.
I loved this story. It’s a short story about young love and when it doesn’t work out the first time, it can come back around. If you love shifter romance then you’ll love this!
In this latest installment of the Sheridan Pack series, we meet Miles, the son of the Shadowhide Pack alpha, who was chosen to marry the daughter of the Pale Claw Pack alpha to bring peace between their rival packs. Miles and Circe share a rare bond as moon-fated mates, but despite this, Miles shockingly proposes that Circe becomes his mistress while the other woman becomes his Luna. Heartbroken by this betrayal, Circe refuses to be the "other woman" and leaves the pack to make a new life for herself. Fifteen years later, Circe has been living and working in the human world, detached from any wolf pack, when she accepts a teaching position with the Sheridan Pack. Upon her arrival, someone recognizes her and notifies Miles, who has never stopped searching for her. Miles arrives, determined to bring Circe back, but Circe is no longer the same woman and has no intention of settling as his mistress. To her shock, she learns that Miles never went through with the marriage and has been waiting for her all this time. Their reunion is filled with tension, lingering hurt, and mistrust as they navigate their complicated past and uncertain future. This book is another excellent addition to the Sheridan Pack series, filled with emotional depth, memorable characters, and a satisfying blend of romance and drama. Each book seems to surpass the last, and I can't wait to see where the series goes next!
I have enjoyed this Sheridan Pack series, and this book was not an exception. However, this one was a little different, with neither one of the characters having any original ties to the pack. They had a previous connection at another pack that the male totally crapped on. Can’t say he was my favorite male character of this series, but I did like the female. Most of the story is about her. We can’t always choose who we have a connection to, but we can chose how we react to it. That’s what makes this a good story. Still enjoyed it!
This is book 5 in the Sheridan pack series, it's a short fated mates read between Miles and Circe. Miles decides to put his pack before his mate when he agrees to be mated with another female from a different pack, but still wants Circe to be his bit on the side even though he knows she is his fated mate. Circe refuses to watch Miles with another women so she leaves, Miles finds her 15 years later and is determined to win her back and for her forgiveness. It's a well written short story with good characters and a HEA.
Second chance on love. When an alpha makes a huge mistake on love, it’s takes a lot to get that back. Fantastic story throughout and characters I recieved a free copy via Booksprout and I’m giving my review freely and honestly
I liked Circe and Miles story. It was a quick read but entertaining. They are fated mates. Circe leaves the pack and Miles finds her 15 years later. I like the chemistry between them. Its HEA.
When Miles chooses to marry another woman for a peace treaty and disrespects their mate bond Circe leaves him, the pack and shifter life to be free from watching him live the life she thought they would have. Fifteen years later he discovers her in another pack and fights to win her back. Even though he has been alone since she left he still has a lot to learn to earn her back. Honestly he’s a selfish jerk and I don’t blame her. I guess it’s a good thing they have that fated bond because I don’t know if I could be as forgiving. However their HEA is sweet and redeems Miles.
Every time I read a new book from this series I want to start again from book 1. This story is a little of pain and a little of happiness. After all those years of pain and distrust I would like more groveling than just one day of talking. But besides that, I love it!
The story illustrates the foolishness of youth and the readiness to let go and make sacrifices for the one you love. While there are moments of heartbreak throughout the narrative, the author offers a glimmer of hope. Ultimately, the sun rises for our main characters, and they find their happiness.
Miles has Circe, his moon fated mate; however, his dad, the Alpha, decrees that he has to marry a woman from another pack so their packs won't be at war. Miles thinks that he can marry the woman and keep Circe on the side, but she has absolutely no desire to be the "other woman"! This story was good, I liked how it played out! I liked how she stuck to her guns and made a life for herself and wasn't willing to put her trust in Miles a 2nd time around! A good story, surprising twists, and an HEA all played out very well. This story was enjoyable to read!
This is a little Romeo/Juliet type of book (without the killing themselves lol) but mistakes and misunderstandings cause alot of needless pain. Loved this book alot. Very well written.
I wanted to cry, shout and through this book. It gave me everything for such a short story. I loved every second of reading it and will continue to read from this author in the future .
Miles and Circe are fated mates. But to become Alpha of their pack Miles must choose another mate. Crushed Circle leaves the pack. Fifteen years pass until Miles finally tracks her down. Will Force come back to him? Steamy shifter story.
I am becoming more and more of a fan of the shifter books and this quick read was just what I needed. Filled with second chance romance, angst, betrayal, love, need, and spice! Was fun to read but also made me feel the emotions of Miles of Circe and the struggle to reclaim their love!!
This is another engaging and emotional addition to the series and I love that Miles realized the huge mistake he made in his youth, and arrogance, with Circe. She was his fated mate but politics got in the way of that and she was to sacrifice her happiness for the pack... Well, she couldn't stick around and be what he was asking of her so she set off and found a home, and life, in the Sheridan Pack. When Miles finally finds her, fifteen years later, he's shocked that she doesn't just fall in line; that she makes him understand what he asked of her and how much pain she suffered. He had pain, too, though, and he set out to prove that he knows he was wrong but they're still fated. This was a gripping second chance romance with lots of angst and emotions to go with the steam. Well done!
This was a great short read. It starts off with all the love fated mates have for each other before Miles makes a terrible mistake - putting the pack before his love. Fast forward 15 years and Circe is a teacher in a new pack, having moved on. But with miles getting information on where she now is, can he earn her forgiveness?
This was a short read but it had lots of emotions to go with it. Circe and Miles were fated mates but she flees after he has to mate with a female from another pack. 15 years later, Miles comes for her but will she forgive him?
He’s Waited Years to Re-Claim His Mate. After the mistake he made fifteen years ago, Miles would do anything to claim the gift he’d once thrown away in his arrogance. Circe was now with another pack and happy when Miles turned up to claim his mate, he was in for a rude awakening. A second chance at love romance with some swoon-worthy and steamy moments!
Miles and Circe were fated mates but when their pack goes to war he is promised to another in peace, now 15 years on theirnpaths cross, he still wants her but he broke her heart can she ever forgive? Well written steamy second chances fated mates and more
This was the perfect short read. It gave good backstory so we could understand why circe was so hurt and left. Miles was such a good mate in the end and you could truly feel the love between them. The spice was so good but not overwhelming.
