For as long as Isabel can remember, she’s been a rogue. Her parents are deceased; she has no pack, no mate, and no one at all except for her older brother Ben. She’s grown used to being a nobody, the butt of others’ jokes, and for the most part, alone.

But during a routine errand gone wrong, Isabel stumbles onto a pack’s territory and comes face to face with a fierce—and devastatingly attractive—shifter the likes of which she’s never seen or felt.

Isabel is certain this is her mate. But will he accept her, a nobody rogue? Or will he reject her to maintain his status in his pack?

With growing danger at every turn, Isabel finds herself in the center of a desperate war between amassing rogues and a fearsome pack, working not only to uncover the mystery of what happened to her once-happy family, but to win over the man she is certain is the love of her life.

Rejected by the Beta

A strangled cry leaves my throat as the arrow pierces me.


I hear an enraged roar from the demon king holding me. He sounds furious.


I’m barely listening, my eyes stuck on the arrow protruding from me.


The demon king readjusts me in his arms, but my brain is barely functioning because of the shock.


My eyes flicker towards Balin as I try to reconcile his betrayal with his feelings for me.


I know from experience now that Balin is a precise shot with the arrow.


He never misses, not even a moving target.


Which is why, as I gurgle up blood from my mouth, tears leak out of my eyes as it occurs to me that I had been his target all along.


My whole body feels like it is on fire, and I can feel a restricting pressure in my chest, right around where the wound is. It’s like my whole body is being torn apart.


And yet the actions of the man who I had begun to tie my heart to are far more than painful.
