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

It’s an ordinary looking place if you don’t account for the massive mountain behind it. I now understand why they call it the mountain forest.


From where we’re standing it looks like any other town. But for some reason, my skin is crawling. There is something about this place which is telling me to turn around and go back. The urge is so strong that I almost find myself turning around when Damien grabs me, “Don’t give in to it.”


His eyes have a sharp look to them and I meet his gaze, troubled, “I don’t think we should be here.”


“I know,” he holds me close, his lips brushing against my temple.


He does that a lot now. These sweet touches. Damien likes to touch me or find a reason to kiss me. His affection had always been of the aggressive sort but ever since we finally mated, it feels like something in him calmed down.
