Or I’m just missing Choices? 😂

Lately, I've been swamped with work, resorting to listening to audiobooks while I grind away. Then, out of nowhere, a story titled 'Chosen by Fate, Rejected by the Alpha' unexpectedly began to play. It struck me in a moment of recognition, it sounded like 'Choices: Wolf Bride.' Intrigued, I decided to keep listening.

Similarities: a timid MC(Main Character) devoid of wolf powers who unexpectedly becomes the strongest of them all, a MC with a wolf mother impregnated by a non-wolf father, a romantic interest with the alpha wolf, and a plot filled with kidnapping and more.

I don’t know why Cas is so against the outfit. It seems like something she would pick.

This art is so gorgeous. 😍

Thank you for providing us with this book, although I'm disappointed that they didn't include Poppy or Aurora Emery, at least in Open Heart Book 1. I’ve been dying to romance these two along with Olivia. Sure, we got to romance Poppy at the end of QB2, but I would love a chapter where we get to play as Poppy during her moments with MC. They've done that in The Dalton Affairs. I want to see Poppy's inner thoughts whenever she hooks up with MC.

I think Nick is like Logan Mills or Theresa Holland in Most Wanted, where they introduce the book's plot. However, unlike Logan or Theresa, who become unimportant to the plot after they die, I believe the story will revolve around Nick. Our MC will try to solve who killed Nick. I guess our MC would be the oldest friend he’s referring to here.

At first I think he was going to end his life base on his dialogues, but I think he’s going to staged his own death using this as opportunity to get answers he needed. We don’t know for sure, I’m excited for chapter 2.

Sealing the Barrier

Advantage: Your LIs will come with you to the Shadow Realm, Nia still practices treatment by using plants.

Disadvantage: With the sealed barrier, magic starts fading out. The elves’ aged start to feel weak, goblins are also disappearing, dwarves are also affected but not as bad as Goblins and Elves. Wren missing Mal, Kade is looking for ways to reopen the portal to bring MC back.

This one is definitely the worst ending among the 3 endings.

Despite of fulfilling Watcher’s mission the Queen which I suspected to be Nifara still disappointed with MC staying in the Shadow Realm with Valax.

Keeping the Realms connected

Advantage: Daywalkers and Ashen can enter freely into both realms. Goblins finally settle in Deadwood and revive the place. Everyone is happy with the new set up.

Disadvantage: Some Daywalkers can be influenced by corruption and some Ashen can feel weak from too much light exposure. Being away from the portal will weaken the magic.

Best ending among the 3 endings.

Combining two realms as one.

Advantage: Magic becomes whole. Shadow’s corruption and using Light magic draining Life force no longer exists.

Disadvantage: 2 realms collide and some of the structure are destroyed. Everyone are upset with MC for making such a decision. Daywalkers and Ashen keep fighting because they don’t trust each other. Valax settle in Port Parnassus but daywalkers are still have a hard time trusting Valax, blaming her people for the destruction of their city.

This ending is the tolerable one.

Theory:

Maxwell: W-Wait, why do you keep looking at me when they mention gay?

Favorite character: Portia(surprisingly), Katharine, Margot, Freddie, and Mrs Bird

Least favorite: Q, and Janet

Hated: Jax

Even the mini games are fun to play and challenging.

Cut scenes are good.

The voices they use fits each characters.

Suggestion: I hope the next protagonist will be male though I know it would be Carla again, I hope not. I hope there will be more jumpscare.

I can't wait for the next chapter!
