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 is by my side, gripping my hand.


Caleb does the same and I feel a cool rush of healing energy move through me.


“If it’s a sealing spell,” I gasp through the pain. “Why is it hurting?”


I look at Caleb desperately, “Spells don’t malfunction, right?!”


“They shouldn’t,” he mutters, trying to send more healing energy through me.


“Stop,” I shake my head, forcing myself to breathe past the pain. “Give me a few minutes.”


It’s getting more manageable as the minutes press on. I can hear the voices around me but I mute them about, focusing on the pain and the pressure in my hand.


Slowly, and steadily, it ebbs away, and I feel my knees crumple.


Damien catches me, letting me lean on him, “Isabel.”


“Just a few more minutes,” I try to keep my voice steady, not wanting to upset him even more but I can hear the waver in my voice.
