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

Exhaustion is an old companion. So is grief.


It’s been two weeks since the battle.


Two weeks since Damien was shot by an arrow which should have killed but didn’t. 


Two weeks since I have heard his voice.


“Caleb,” I murmur, tiredly, and he doesn’t look up.


This time my voice is a bit louder, “Caleb.”


His head jerks up and I see the bags under his eyes, “Sorry. I was lost in thought.”


I place a cup of tea before him, “Yeah, I figured. You haven’t had anything to eat since morning so I asked Marty to make you something. Here’s some tea in the meantime.”


Caleb sits back, his golden eyes unseeing, “Thank you.”


I hand him a warm shawl that I brought with me. He takes it, grateful, “Is it always so cold here?”


“No,” comes Fera’s weary voice from behind them. “The entire demon realm has become unstable because of Damien.”


I look over at Fera as she joins us at the table, “Have you eaten? You’ve been awake for a while.”
