A Wolf's Oath

Jennifer T. Alli

Werewolves mate once, for life. Fact. When Sebastian found her, he thought it would be easy to claim her, but nothing is ever that simple.

 

Sequel to A Wolf's Duty

The one unchanging rule of life as a werewolf is that you mate for eternity and no mating should be easier than one between two wolves. With the instinct guiding them to each other and held beneath the sway of the moon, they should have been irresistibly drawn together. Sparks flew the moment they met, but then she ran from him and the problems began to multiply.

Amidst the hot tempers of the werewolves, Sebastian is well known for his legendary calm. When he found her, he knew he would never want another. No one else could ever come close but it all changed once she knew who he was. He doesn't understand. He did everything right and she still rejects him and his legendary calm begins to falter. But he's determined, after all a wolf only finds his mate once in his life, and he won't let her go. She’s his, even if she doesn’t know it.

With internal turmoil eating away at them and external threats looming will the oath that binds them be strong enough to keep them together?

Jennifer, Wow, Werewolves are not my normal read, but just like other genres, I have been trying to pick up on so many different books. This however impressed me to the point of not just being a little interested in it, but actually enjoying it. This book is really clever writing. It got me hooked and took me on a journey I have never been familiar with. So well done for this. its excellent. Good read, magical flow, mega fantastic with your characters and a brilliant natural pace throughout. Loved it.

Best of Luck

Hi! I think you're onto a winner, with a few grammar and spelling checks it could be wonderful! Well done and good luck!

hmsullivan wrote 872 days ago

I enjoyed this book as much as your first book. Both books are very well written and interesting to read. Best of luck!

DesiS. wrote 873 days ago

Another good story as good as the first. Good Character development. Some minor typos- needs proof reading. Some examples- Chapter 20 "...he never tried to pressurise (pressure) her in to remembering." and Chapter 33 "...why Sebastian though (thought) he had any right..." and Chapter 45 "...what the (they) plan to do with Sebastian." Best of Luck. Desi.

Danielle Gin wrote 893 days ago

This is an interesting start to your story!

The first chapter does a wonderful job of introducing the main characters, setting up their relationships, and the setting in the world you've created. But, most importantly, the first chapter gives the reader a sense of where the story is headed without giving away major plot points or twists.

I did, however, notice a couple of things lacking. There were several cases in which commas were missing and sentences would be better combined. These are minor errors, nothing a beta shouldn't fix, but just something to be aware of. Another thing I noticed could be improved was your use of sensory details. These were lacking, over all. Sensory details are what a character sees, feels by touch, hears, smells, and tastes. While you do mention that Sebastian smells Erica's apple scent, I couldn't find many other sensory details. These are important because they pull a reader in and fully emmerse them in your world.

Other than that, this was a great first chapter! I'm interested in reading more! Great work!

Great story, great cover. I want to bright your book to my bookshelf, so people can see it and will support you. I am glad I found your book. I would love a backing in return, if you think Bamboo Promise is worthy. Thank you for your time and I wish you all the best!

Another great read, I love it. I think it is quite a unique take on the classic werewolf story. The writing and overall flow of the story makes it easy to imagine. I've added A Wolf's Duty to my bookshelf and this on my watchlist.

A interesting story with a classic "romance novel" feel. I've only gotten through chapters 1 and 2, but I rather like it so far. I really, really enjoy Erica. She's spunky, likeable, and is fun to read. I LOVE that you are flying in the face of the whole "vampire" trend and naming a werewolf as your male lead. Nicely done, you trendbraker you. ;)

It does seem a little abrupt here in the beginning. "Oh, I smell something...Oh, it's my mate...Look, there she is! Excellent!" Maybe a little struggle and segue would make this section a little more authentic.

Also, you've got a couple of grammar issues you'll want to watch out for:

Example:
"Making his way through the busy crown" (crowd?)
"I am not your mate, I'm no one's mate" (comma splice)
the last sentence of chapter 1 (run-on sentence - and not in a creative liscence kind of way)

Nevertheless, you've definitely caught my attention and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of it. Best wishes and best of luck.

A romance with claws. Fine writing, carries one into this genre of renewed popularity of late. You definately should ride the wave in the vamp/werewolf renaisance. Great work, and a lot better than some in this genre i have read.
Interesting story, and good, clear writing.

So Erica was pretty cavalier about Sebastian's lupine form. She's not afraid but wouldn't someone be a tad bit freaked out if they just saw a wolf turn into a human? That was just a slight irritation on my part :)

Otherwise, this is my guilty pleasure. Anytime I need some drama, angst (God, what is wrong with Anna? She went crazy!), and ROMANCE. I always seem to have a smile when I'm reading this story. One of those sappy smiles that you just can't help but let it out.

And I have been waiting forever for chapter 43 especially since 42 left us just at the point before the claiming. Oh that was mean. I was checking again and again and then finally it's updated and we get FOUR new chapters. And now a 5th, 6th and/or 7th chapter would also be nice =]

Is their going to be another addition to this series. A Wolf's Duty, A Wolf's Oath, A Wolf's [insert title] ? Perhaps Ryan's story? I'd love to see how he'd react if his mate wouldn't let him claim her. Since he's already such a hot head, he'll probably explode.Oooh, good visual. Can't wait for the next chapter!

Hiya, I'm very sorry about the lack of updates to the story on this site. On the other site where it was originally published, i'm actually known for my punctuality but it's a little more difficult to get chapters uploaded here. Also in answer to your question, there will be a third and final book in the series, A Wolf's Pride, Ryan's tale. It's too funny not to tell. As Sebastian and Erica will be over in two weeks, Ryan will be out shortly after that. Thanks for reading.

Jennyt82 wrote 1372 days ago

Hey Andrew,
Thanks for reading now as the book is a sequel, I agree you're probably at a disadvantage but if you managed to understand it then that's fine. I'm aware there are a few problems with dialogue and am going to go back and try and sort those issues out. Yes, I probably could do a few sequels but at present I'm only planning one more book for the wolves and then I'm off to start writing about a different world entirely. I am planning to have one wolf in that series but he won't be linked in any way to this one aside from how he's depicted and thinks. I don't really have any concrete plans as of yet so who knows. Thank you very much for reading.

A Wolf's Oath

Hi Jennifer,

Slightly disadvantaged perhaps as I haven't read book one, but this is an interesting idea. We have a lot of vampires and zombies floating about, werewolves could certainly do with their day in the sun, as long, of course, as it is not as damaging to them as it would be to a vampire! You have an interesting situation developing although I did find the introspective dialogue a little intrusive and there were times when it seems to actually interrupt the flow of your ideas. Good dialogue though throughout, backing for the quality of the premise, I would imagine that there are quite a few possibilities of further sequels. You have set up an interesting world - Andrew W.

I like the story in this one -but the dialogue is sometimes hard to follow. The characters for the most part are good although Erica does get a bit annoying with her protestations about Sebastian and her being mated. Her refusal is understood after the first couple of denials, so its annoying when she keeps harping on about it. There are a few instances when there is a bit too muchbackground information delivered all at once but I think a good editor may be able to suggest ways to tidy it up a bit. There are a few typos and grammatical errors, but otherwise its promising. I hope that you will get published because I think you are very talented.

Wolf's oath - Alli

Sorry - no shelving. I feel that the storyline is lost under a large amount of over-writing and under-writing. Example of over-writing: the two paragraphs at the end of Chapter 35. Quote "Would you listen to yourself?" Her mind snapped. Unquote. I think you mean "What nonsense." The italics mean that it's her mind, un-snapped. I think that that thought should lead directly to action. You spend several dozen words before anything happens.

Example of under-writing: The third paragraph from the end, again of Chapter 35. Quote "The A that came with B from C enabled her to D as she E-ed the F and G-ed toward H. She and Sebastian had agreed to I so that J could have something to K for L." This is not fine writing, in my opinion. It is notes - a synopsis - for writing that has not yet been done.

Do not be discouraged by one person's opinion. I expect that you have a good story here. There is no reason why it shouldn't be told well.
Best wishes
Ann
