True love is a myth.
A trick.
A way to subdue the heroine and take everything from her.
Winter Snow
My "true love" conspired with my stepmother to have me killed and stole my throne.
But they failed.
I've been in hiding and refining my vengeance. I'm no longer the damsel they mistook me for once upon a time. I'm coming for them. And my kingdom, too.
Who needs dwarves when you have wolves?
Who needs blades when you have arrows?
My name used to be Snow. Now they call me the Winter's Arrow. Because I'm here to destroy them all.
Kazek Flor
I'm not a prince but an Alpha. And I take what I want, when I want it. So when I found an Omega princess dying in the woods, I took her and made her mine.
I'll train her. Embolden her. Help her seek the vengeance she is owed. Then, together, we'll take down Winter Sector and the wicked Queen of Mirrors.
Run fast, little wolves.
Your former princess is about to rise with me by her side.
And we're thirsting for your blood.
“Help,” I begged. “Need… help.” Kazek frowned at me. “You’re going into estrus, Snow. I’m planning to help you.” I shook my head, a whine catching in my throat. He didn’t understand. “No knot.” I couldn’t accept it. This had to be part of Vanessa’s plan, to make an Alpha think he could fuck me fully. She’d planned to entice Enrique with this spell, to force him to knot me. That was what she’d meant by having methods to induce the sensations. She’d cast some wicked enchantment that convinced Alphas I could handle them in a rut. Tears collected in my eyes. I’d escaped her clutches, only to fall into the hands of someone so much worse—an Alpha driven by need. She’d won. After all that… she’d still won. I crumpled against him, sobbing beneath the crushing emotions of betrayal and defeat. And worse, arousal. Because I wanted him.

***4 Stars***

This baby was a surprise. A totally pleasant one, but it definitely made me sit up and go “Hey” It also had me going “WTF?!?!” a couplefew times, but I definitely got behind this retelling of Snow White. Everything from our MC’s, to the world building and all the way down to the Seven Dwarves had me getting lost in the story until the very end.

Snow/Winter and Kazek were definitely a pair, a pair I ended up really liking in the end, but boy did these two have quite a journey to travel before they both ended up exactly where they were supposed to be. She had to learn how to balance the power she actually had and he had to see beyond what he thought himself to be. These ‘growing pains’ made for interesting times as they not only learned to be mates, but simply friends who could trust in each other. They both drove me BSC in their own ways, so I wasn’t team anyone really, and though I understood how the hierarchy worked, there was one time where I leaned more towards Winter than Kazek. But in the end, I liked how it all worked out for them.

This was my first read by the author and I gotta say I enjoyed the journey. It did take me a bit to figure the world in general out, but even with that said, I was hooked from the start and liked how everything ended up playing out. As for the supporting cast of characters, Mick, Kari and Enrique were favorites, but it was Alana who truly interested me and I definitely wouldn’t mind seeing her get her HEA one day.
