Wild Sign by Patricia BriggsAlpha & Omega #6Urban FantasyMarch 16, 2021 by Ace Review by Angela Favorite Quote: He pulled her tight against him. "I will defend your heart and your soul with everything in me." Content Warnings: Violence, mentions of rape, child trafficking, pet deaths, and miscarriage.
