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

“I-” I’m on my feet before I can say anything, he says, “Fera needs you.”


He’s talking to Caleb and the monk abandons me in a heartbeat. The traitor.


I decide to leave, not ready to have this conversation, or any other.


But just as I am about to pass by Damien, he grabs my arm, stopping me, “I think it’s time we talk.”


“Well, I do,” he says, simply. “Sit.”


I wonder if his domineering side would ever change. 


Highly doubtful. Damien is a man who is used to getting what he wants.


However, I am too worn out to pick a fight with him. So, I just return to my seat.


Damien doesn’t take a seat, pacing for a few moments, as if trying to figure something out. His energy is all riled up. It’s strange to be able to see this darkness leaking from him now. Caleb and Fera haven’t commented on it so I don’t know whether they are able to see it.


Damien’s voice distracts me from my thoughts, “Have I been harsh to you?”
