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

However, I know that my odds, which had been so-so when just facing Mara, have drastically fallen when facing both of them. I can feel the wolfsbane in my system. It’s from the arrow.


But while I can feel it burning, the pain and agony from last time isn’t there.


He said it might counteract against any poison I would have been given. 


I can’t dig out the arrow stuck inside of my shoulder but I can grit my teeth and bear the pain. This is about protecting Damien and keeping Mara away from him.


Arista’s mouth is still moving as she comes to stand next to Mara, and I can tell that the two of them know each other.
