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

“Elves?” I feel stunned. “I thought –”


“You thought we didn’t exist?” Balin asks, quietly.


I feel uneasy, “I don’t – To be honest, I don’t know much about other species. I was far too young when I was kicked out of my pack with my family. As a result, I never learnt the history of the Others.”


I open my mouth and then snap it shut, before finally, “My parents were killed. I only had Ben, my brother.”


The wave of grief is fresh when I mention him.


“He was killed along with my mate.”


There is no sympathy or pity in Balin’s voice just a calm acceptance.


He then looks at his two companions, “Idril, is it done?”


Idril nods and both he and Aldon step back. I turn to face the fire and can feel my heart being torn into shreds. 


“And so should we be,” Balin says, sharply. “Come.”
