Book 6 is the Best in the Series (so far)

 Wolf on a Mission by N.J. Walters 

This is book 6 in this series and probably the strongest book of the series; even better than my man Gator's. I was wondering how they were going to expand the pack and avoid inbreeding issues and this book addresses that. We return to Sue, Annie's best friend. She is now living in Annie's old house after the death of both of her parents. Her ex-husband is being horrible, so horrible in fact that 5 year old Billy asks why his daddy doesn't love him. I know, heartbreaking. Elias is new to town, trying to find a home for himself and his twin nephews with the pack. They are both 3/4 werewolf and Reese can shift, but Sage can't. Elias got custody after their parents (his brother and sister-in-law) were killed in a car crash that burned them up. They go camping in the woods near Sue's house, wanting to do some scouting of the pack before showing up. Billy wanders off to the steam where he runs into Sage and Reese in wolf form, who he mistakes for a doggy. Sue finds them and then Elias shows up looking for his boys. They go back to Sue's for a bit, but she is cautious. Elias immediately knows that Sue is his. He and the boys go back to their campground but he returns later that night and starts things with Sue. Then he returns. Meanwhile, her ex is trying to get full custody of Billy because he thinks there is money from his grandparents; there's not. Elias makes contact with the pack, tells him what he wants and they tell him that they will consider it and make plans for another meeting. The boys follow him to the next meeting, and Gwen also shows up so now it's a thing and everyone meets everyone. Elias is still showing up to Sue's at night. Reese and Sage to running and Reese gets shot by local hunters. Sue hears them talking about it at work and after her shift drives out to warn them, not knowing it was Reese, just wanting to do the right thing. Then she sees Annie and gets mad because her friend has been so close this whole time and hasn't see her in 2 years. Then one of the men shows up at her house to threaten her, and decides to rape her. But Elias shows up and saves the day. But, he gets shot for his trouble. When the bullet pushes its way out of his skin he transforms and shows her his truth. Then they get it on. Elias tells Jacques that Sue might be human but she's his mate. He says if she agrees to their life then she, her son, he, and his boys can stay. He asks her and she agrees. He also gets her ex to give up all parental rights to Billy. They mate and have a regular wedding. Sue finally meets Reese in human form. The new leader of the Louisiana pack shows up to make good on his threat from the previous book, but the person that has been hunting the wolves isn't Fergus, it's his cousin, so he issues the same warning to him and it finally sinks in and he agrees to stop hunting for wolves. At the end of the book Sage decides that he is going to leave for a while to figure out who he is since he's 3/4 werewolf but can't shift. Reese doesn't like that. And that's where it ends. This book added new characters seamlessly. It gives lots of potential for more books, and a new generation for a potential spin off series. We also get our first human-wolf pairing. This was the strongest book of the series; it had the most actual story.
