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 never once thought I would hold a possessive streak but seeing this woman eye Damien like he is a piece of meat that she can’t wait to get her claws in.


Damien smiles at me, leaning down to bite the lobe of my ear, whispering in my ear as he went, “Jealous?”


“In your dreams,” I murmur back, smiling pleasantly at Lauren.


I’m not threatened by this human woman. But I’m also not willing to let her even entertain any dirty thoughts when it comes to my mate.


The only one who’s allowed to undress Damien with her eyes is me. I have exclusive rights to that.


Lauren doesn’t seem to be aware of our side conversation. She beams brightly at Damien, “Oh, come on. You don’t have to be shy in front of your wife.”


I glare at her husband who is so focused on his meal that he doesn’t even seem to be aware that his wife is throwing herself at another man.


Damien just wraps his arms around me, “Sorry.”
