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

Damien staggers as if shocked and he stares at me, an incredulous expression on his face as if he can’t quite believe what is happening.


His knees give out and I’m already running towards him. 


I see Balin rushing forward as well, brandishing a sword, an insane gleam in his eyes.


I push myself with everything I have and reach Damien before him, sliding on to the ground just as he stumbles and falls. I can see Balin raise the sword as he rushes and a burning heat consumes me from within. I step in front of Damien, shifting into my wolf and snarling. 


Balin just sneers, “You think I won’t cut you down. As if I haven’t done it before?”


I don’t recognize the monster in front of me.
