To bond with his destined mate, an Alpha wolf must look past what he sees and trust what he feels.
Bonded by their parents before they were conceived, wolf shifters Abel and Kai adored each other since they were children. As teens, the two future Alphas took the next step in their bonding process and vowed to remain true to one another until Kai came of age. But when tragedy struck, Abel felt betrayed and ran from Kai instead of completing their mating.

I’d been Alpha of my pack for three years and I still hated it. Well, hate might be a little strong, but I surely didn’t enjoy it. What was there to enjoy? Settling arguments and conflicts between grown people who acted like children? Ensuring our territory remained protected from potential threats no matter the hour of day or night? Blessing the unions of dozens of couples and officiating ceremonies naming their children and accepting them into the pack, never to have the chance of experiencing that joy for myself?
But no matter how I felt about it, the duty was mine. I’d been born and raised for it. My father, his father before him, and so on and so forth as far back in our family tree as anyone could recall. We were Alphas of the Nasa River pack, so named after our line. A Nasa formed the…
This author is good at packing a lot of story in a few pages. The feelings that go through Abel when he sees Kai, and the condition he is in, is intense. He wants so badly to not care, but the pull between them is so strong. The embarrassment and self loathing that comes from Kai is heartbreaking. You will run the gamut of emotions with this read, but as always the strongest will be satisfaction!
Holy Hell, this is a fantastic hurt/comfort story that hits you hard ...I loved this story and absolutely adore Kai and Abel, both men have been through a lot ...This really is a brilliant story that pulls on the heart strings and has you cheering when Kai gets his revenge, I loved how easily they put the past behind them, they refuse to let the past drag them down… that doesn't mean that it doesn't leave it's scars on Kai because it does but with the security of his mate he can deal.
This is such a sweet and heartfelt story from beginning to end. My connection with the characters was immediate. ...I adore the connection between Abel and Kai.

And the resolution is beautiful and heartwarming....In a short time, the CC delivers a powerful, precious story in both storytelling and fluid writing. ...I loved this story. Everything about it. Cardeno C has once again written a winner. I highly recommend the fabulousness that is All of Me by Cardeno C.
The incredibly strong emotions throughout this whole story kept me from wanting to put the book down. The author did a magnificent job of making the emotions--from anger to depression to lust--leap off the page with the characters. The story went from being sweet and innocent... to desperate and angry...The other component of the book that was written exceptionally well was the relationships. In a short amount of time, I could feel how important the friendship between Kai and Abel's parents was and how upset Abel's parents were to lose their friends. There is a fierce and protective relationship between Kai and Kelly, and a fun and honest relationship between Abel and his brothers. Abel also has a dynamic relationship with his parents. And, of course, the relationship between Abel and Kai that spans the entire spectrum of emotions. This was a very fulfilling story that contained love, heartache, bitterness, hatred, revenge, humor, and forgiveness.
