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 panic because I know. I can hear them and I think they want me to hear them. They want to torture me like this.


These wolfs are the kind of sickos that get off on other people’s pain. They’re drowning in mine and they love it.


“Hey Ben,” Nathan says, as nonchalantly as ever. It’s as if he’s my brother’s best friend and they’re having just a normal, everyday conversation.


I suppose that’s what it feels like to him. This probably all feels so normal and risk free.


“No need to be rude,” Nathan says. “I appreciate your help so far, but it’s only taken us so far. We have bigger plans that we need Isabel for. 


“This is nothing against you, of course. We meant what we said about not harming her if you helped us, but that was when we only knew she was your sister. Now we know she’s the Beta’s mate, things have changed. That makes her even more valuable.”
