Part 1: What Is Alpha Devon And His Forbidden Mate?
Forbidden love is the basic premise of Alpha Devon And His Forbidden Mate. Here we got two destined lovers, mates who were resisting their feelings because of their social status, and wolf’s rank in the pack. Alpha Devon And His Forbidden Mate is a love story between an Omega and an Alpha.
Alpha and Omega are early scientific descriptions of social standing or rank. The idea is that the Alphas are the most powerful, dominating werewolves, and the Omega is the lowest-ranking wolf, the pack’s punching bag, who is submissive to everyone else. Most of the time in werewolf romances, Omegas as servants or slaves.
They are mostly abused and have no freedom to choose what they want. So looking at this rank concept, we get to expect that the conflict here in Alpha Devon And His Forbidden Mate is complex and heavy.
Part 2: The Main Plot of Alpha Devon And His Forbidden Mate
In Alpha Devon And His Forbidden Mate, Raven was named the “Bastard Omega” which made her the lowest of the lowest in the pack. Her mother was an Omega who got married to the pack alpha. Her real father, who was her mother’s mate, died from betraying the pack. So, growing up she got all the hate, rejection, and blame.
To add up to the problem, Raven finds herself attracted to Devon, the young alpha, her step-brother who is currently engaged to Laney without her knowing that she was Devon’s mate. So, this is the reason why the title of the book is Alpha Devon And His Forbidden Mate.
Here we got a love story with so many hindrances, and so forbidden in the first place that Devon and Raven can’t be together even though they were mates, not just because of their social rank, but because they were step-siblings.
Meanwhile, Devon, on the other hand, feels the same attraction to Raven. His wolf was disturbing him, insisting that Raven was his mate and that he should go for her, but he was about to be married to Laney. However, it was all just a marriage for convenience.
So, here in Alpha Devon And His Forbidden Mate, we have been given a heavy conflict as I said a while ago, the conflict was so complex and many that as a reader, it makes me ask – How are they going to have their happy ever after?
Exciting Plot Twist
In Alpha Devon And His Forbidden Mate, Devon argued with his dad about Ms. Kelly, Raven’s mother. It turns out that Raven’s mother was not an Omega, it was just Devon’s father who ranked her as one after that horrible incident in the past.
So, Devon thinks this is unfair to them, especially to Raven who lived her life being trampled on for inheriting her mother’s Omega rank.
Yet, despite Devon’s insisting, his father said it was for good and there’s a valid reason why he did that yet for now, he can’t tell his son, and Devon will know the whole truth when it is the right time. What’s that whole truth then? I’m intrigued. So, this kind of cliffhanger in Alpha Devon And His Forbidden Mate was kind of exciting. It honestly prompts me to read further.
Part 3: Main Protagonists of Alpha Devon And His Forbidden Mate
Alpha Devon
As is common in werewolf romance, the male lead here in Alpha Devon and His Forbidden Mate is the dream guy type. Devon is every female wolf’s dream man. Handsome. Sexy. And to add his promising future of being the heir to his father’s rank.
He is respected in the pack and feared and of course, he’s living a life where there are many expectations of him. This is the reason why he ends up engaging with Laney.
But blame it on the mate pull, on his wedding day, he instead pursues his mate, Raven instead of his bride who was just waiting in the next room.
So, I am expecting a lot of character development of Devon here in Alpha Devon And His Forbidden Mate. I’m hoping to see a man who took the courage and responsibility to stand up for his beloved.
Raven
So, when I read through the cliffhanger of Alpha Devon And His Forbidden Mate, I had hoped that Raven would become a strong heroine in the middle of the plot. But in the beginning chapters of Alpha Devon And His Forbidden Mate, we got a bullied, weak, female lead. Raven’s character, at first, was introduced that way.
For me, she wasn’t as striking as the other female leads I read, but she is promising. I am hoping to see a great development of her character as more revelations about her past were laid here in Alpha Devon And His Forbidden Mate.

I followed all the events in the story. On the other hand, it’s how the plot was presented, and the unfolding of the events that keep my interest, and sustain my reading.
