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

“Unfortunately,” Fera mutters and I can tell she really means it.


“For years,” Fera said, the hurt in her voice a hard ball of pain. “He stripped me of all my status in the castle, punishing me in small ways till all I had left was my lab. Mara got what she wanted, me out of her way.”


I study her face, feeling a hint of anger, “How could he believe Mara over you? You’re his family!”


Fera’s smile is filled with an old bitter anger, “She was quite convincing. And at that point, she was young in demon years. And she flitted about Damien like a butterfly. I used to be the Chancellor at the time and Damien gave that position to her. That’s why I was determined to protect you this time.”


I open my mouth and then snap it shut to gather my thoughts, before speaking, “But you and Damien are fine now.”
