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.
Abel never stops yearning for the man who was supposed to lead by his side and after years without contact, Kai returns, broken and on death's door. If Abel wants to fulfill their destiny and merge their packs, he'll need to look past what he saw and trust his heart.

Excerpt
Full ExcerptChapter 1
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…
Reviews
short, sweet and yet so beautiful. I just fell in love with these two men, found myself crying. Then once the drama was kicked and killed, it was smooth sailing to romance-land and I just got my goofy smile on, and on, and on....All of Me by Cardeno C. is just so beautifully written and it is a very light read. Again, one of the few novella length stories that did not leave me hanging for lack of information, and with characters and plot developing well, it did set my heart to pitter patter in the best way possible and I just grinned goofy. Yes, I did cry, but the story more than made up for the tears as it progressed. And I just fell in love, glad nothing could get past these two alphas once they bonded. The strength these two displayed - they are ALPHA! men. Hot! too...
The enduring love between Kai and Abe was both wonderful and sad as others conspired to keep them apart. I loved every minute of the book.
I liked that Abel was both tough and could be caring and sensitive to Kai's needs. Their desire and eventual claiming was electric. I also enjoyed seeing Kai given the chance to take back his power and soar as an alpha for the first time. The devotion and bond these two had and fortified was a joy to read.
Cardeno C. has managed to put all the qualities of a full length novel: characters, storyline, betrayal, even murder, into a beautiful little package. Then Cardeno added a bow at the end just to make it extra special. All of Me is my first book by this author, but it will not be my last.
