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

Something tight curls up in my chest at Mara’s words.


However, I’ve also realized that if I want to survive in this place, I can’t allow myself to be pushed around. Even if I’m punished for it, in a place as barbaric as this, I need to let them know I’m no weakling. Even when I know there’s a good chance I’m physically not on par with them. 


“If Damien has a problem with me using his name, then he can take it up with me,” I snap. “I don’t care who you think you are.”


I see Mara’s cheeks flush at that and I feel something is odd about that.


But then when I blink, her cheeks are back to their normal pale color and she gives me a smirk, “You really do talk without thinking of the consequences, don’t you?”


I sneer at her, “I don’t care what you think or how many opinions you want to pull out of your ass about me. Just stay out of my way and leave Rina alone.”
