The Defiant Alpha (West Coast Wolves Book 2) Kindle Edition
Stolen from his mother’s arms and reported stillborn at birth, “Thirteen” has spent nearly twenty-one years in structured captivity with other stolen omegas. His brothers. A few have disappeared over the years, but twelve remain. An even dozen omegas, each with a secret superpower.
Working together under the light of the full moon, their combined gifts help Thirteen escape—he’s their only hope of finding outside help to rescue them all. Except Thirteen is injured and nearly dies as he flees into the night. Collapsing on the side of a desert highway with the sound of a rumbling motorcycle in his ears, Thirteen is sure all hope is lost.
Until it’s not…
Found by his true mate, Thirteen is saved—and mated—before the full moon begins to wane. Buckle in for a heart-filled adventure. Omegas are rescued, babies are made, a pack finds its heart, and a birth family is reunited with the one miracle they never could’ve dared imagine possible.
The West Coast Wolves is an mpreg series about five alphas. A small pack of bikers who spent years riding the highways and helping those in need until fate gave them each a pack to lead. The second in series, this 50k full-length novel is Lucian’s story. Prepare yourself for a few tissue moments, lots of laughter, and a birth scene you won’t soon forget. But then again, this is a Susi Hawke book so what else can you expect? Possible trigger for child abduction, betrayal from a medical provider, and off-page mention of stillbirth.

About the author

I’m a happily married mom whose kids are grown! I've always written stories, but only found the courage to publish in my 40s. This midlife career change has been amazing and proves it's never too late to follow your dreams. I plan to keep writing for as long as my readers want my books. I love sharing the stories of the different people who live in my imagination. My books are filled with humor, a few tears, and the underlying message to never give up and keep hoping, even in the darkest of times, because life can change on a dime when you least expect it. This theme comes from a lifetime of lessons learned on my own hard journey through the pains of poverty, the loss of more loved ones than I’d care to count, and the struggles of living through chronic illnesses. Life can be hard, but it can also be good! Through it all I’ve found that love, laughter, and family can make all the difference, and that’s what I try to bring to every tale I tell.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2020I have been waiting for this installment of the West Coast Wolves! This book does not disappoint. It is a stunning second book. From stolen omegas, to trafficking, to omega talents, fated mates, daring, courage, rescues, and a birthing scene you can't top, this book has it all! Stolen at birth along with 14 other omegas, Thirteen has spent most of his 20 years planning his escape. He doesn't expect to find his fated mate after being shot. Lucien never expected to become a pack alpha. He especially doesn't expect to find his fated mate dying by the side of the road. As Lucien learns about his mate's horrific life, and that there are more omegas imprisoned, he unites the old West Coast Wolves to rescue them. Thirteen chooses his own name: Charlie. Finding his mate & his name are only the beginning of his discoveries. From found family to chosen family to false "family" ; loyal friends and special powers, this story will leave you breathless. Yes, there is also humor and sexy times. Ooh, you are in for a treat!
If you haven't read the first book, do it now. You will be glad you did. I can't wait to read the next book.
This book contains adult themes and language, mm sex and is intended for mature readers only.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2022This story is full of action from the very beginning to the end. Lucien and his fated mate meet and, boom, insta-love. This series is full of action and schmoopy luv. Romantics will swoon. I love the way the whole community or ‘found family’ is integral to the story.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2021Lucien finds a dog near death by the roadside shot and bloody. When he gets close enough he realizes this is an omega wolf and his mate. He rushes him to a healer and saves his life by partially bonding him and takes all the pain upon himself. The omega lives and tells his story of his escape from a prison holding a dozen omegas meant for the auction block. All are called by a number rather by name and need to be rescued. This is a difficult story to read because of the abuse. Of course a rescue p!an ensued and all the prisoners are freed and the bad guys are killed. It is discovered that all the omega were kidnapped at birth by a doctor and nurse telling the mothers that their baby was stillborn. Lucian's mate chose to call himself after Charles Dickens becoming Charlie. Charlie discovers his family in Lucian's pack and the search is on to find the birth families of the rest. This is a very moving story with a hard fought HEA. A truly heart breaking sometimes humorous, but always loving book.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2024Well, book two was another great one. I absolutely love that Lucien found thirteen. Now it’s off to book 3.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 20213 stars!
Book 2 was almost like a book 1 with all the new characters and character development which I really enjoyed.
As with all this authors work it is a little surface level and a quick whirlwind romance and babies ASAP but I'm not mad about it. What I am mad about is needing a family tree/ character list to keep everyone straight! Especially after the name change! I hope book 3 gives us a character list!
Overall, a pretty solid story. Onto book 3!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2021Charlie and Luci were absolutely the most wholesome couple I've ever read from Susi Hawke's books.
I love how almost never cursed and always had a cute little old time-y replacement for anything he might have said otherwise....
I love how this book opened up many avenues for supporting characters and how all his "brothers of the heart" had sassy, beautiful, quirky little ways of naming them selves. I very much look forward to reading any future books in this series and am especially excited at what comes next.
Please give the (West Coast Wolves) series a read, I think you'll enjoy them just as much!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2021This is a paranormal shifter suspense romance book, the second in the series and should be read in order. What a powerful story! This series is dark and grittier than what I am used to by this author, however, it’s topics are needed to be heard. How better to explore the darker themes than through fiction! It is the usual insta-love of omega/Alpha fiction but it’s written beautifully!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2022This was an exciting, intense, and wonderful story that everyone will enjoy. Although they've been living a horrible life, these Omega's have never given up on wanting more. When fate decides to change their lives, it does so in a huge way. Lol! I love that Lucian finally found the home he was always wanting, and destined to have. It's a terrific story that you certainly won't want to miss!
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and outstanding author.

5.0 out of 5 stars The brothers name themselves
In this book we go back and further then where book 1 finished. Lucian came to find his fated mate Thirteen/ Charlie by the side of a highwsy.
When Charlie is abe to tell the Westcoast Wolves and their friends where he and his brothers are held they stage a rescue with the help of the brothers who use their abilities. There are furthrt devlopments surrounding ' the brothers' but I won't give anything away. This story tells about harddhip, overcoming it, doing what is right and found family. Ofcourse there is a HEA and mpreg on page and an epic birthing scene.
The crea tiom of the world side characters and storuline is as well done as I am used to by Ms Hawke.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! The story is getting better!
Any new book written by Susi Hawke is a must read for me, so this book 2 on the series was not exception. I don't want to spoil it for you but the plot is getting more twisted and complex in a way just Ms Hawks could achieve. More fated love, more babies, in between action and danger, some angst, intrigue and a mystery. I can't wait for book 3!
- SherReviewed in Canada on December 22, 2022
5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome
They were all stolen as babies because they are Omegas. Now he is being told he is going to be sold to the highest bidder. He has to get out, with the help of an outsider and his brothers, they have a plan of escape for him. Lucien is on his way back when spots a wolf in the side of the road. When he sees him, he knows he is his mate. The two them with the help of others have to free the other Omegas from their prison. Could not put this book down.
- VanessaReviewed in Germany on February 12, 2021
5.0 out of 5 stars Even better than the first one
This series gets better with each book. The first one was great and this was even better. Can't wait for the next book.
- HelenMK69Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 9, 2021
5.0 out of 5 stars Such a great book/series
I absolutely love Susi's books, she always has the imagination to set up new worlds for us to visit.
This series is about wolves, with Alphas, Omegas and betas, Mpreg and True Mates. Great writing which always keeps us hooked.
Thirteen is an Omega wolf kept hostage for just over 20 years after he was stolen at birth from his mother, along with 11 other omegas. They plot and plan an escape for one of them.
Lucian, is one of the West Coast Alpha Wolves who we met in book 1, he has now been given his own pack to meet and get working into a proper pack.
This book has everything, humour, escape, gun shots, deaths, births, true mates and of course the Happy Ever After that we all want. A great read.
