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

“No,” I mumble, sinking onto the floor, dismayed. “How can this be?!”


I dig through the earth and desperate tears fill my eyes, “No, no, no, no!”


But there are no remnants of the flower.


I wipe my tears, crawling to the other side of the tree but it too has been destroyed.


These flowers are the only way to cure the effects of moonshine.


I rest my head against the Tree of Souls, mentally drained, the last dredge of hope, finally exhausted.


“I don’t want to die here,” I murmur, brokenly. “I want to go back to Damien. I don’t want to stay here.”


I can feel my tears dripping down my face. 


“What kind of Righ am I?” I sob. “I can’t even protect myself or anyone I love. What use is this title to me?!”
