He rejected me, and then he realized I was the center of his world. Instead, I got someone even better. Raula I keep my head down. In this backward pack, females rank low, and my family's bloodline puts me among the lowest pack members. It doesn’t help that I’ve never shifted. I don’t mind the late twenties single life, though. No one’s paying any attention as I live my life the way I want. My roomies and I are doing it for ourselves, and if life under Ulfred Kessler is stifling, at least it’s predictable. We can deal. But when nature finally clicks in, I lose my mind. I claim our alpha as my mate. And he rejects me in front of the whole pack. It’s all good. It only hurts when I breathe. I’ll survive. That’s what I do. Who wants an arrogant jerk for a mate, anyway? But the heavens have prepared someone else for me. Damien Kessler is Ulfred's oldest brother who broke away from the Starry Banes pack years ago. He has never liked Ulfred. Damien I left Ulfred to deal with the Starry Banes pack. I gave him all the freedom to live his life the way he wished, but I will make him regret his biggest mistake of rejecting Raula Lockwood. He threw away the best thing that could have possibly ever happened to him. And now Raula is my second chance mate. Even if it means getting back everything that was rightfully mine, I won't let go of my mate when the heavens have given me a second chance.

One Rejected, Twice Wanted

Ulfred keeps shaking me and calling my name, but it is all playing out in slow motion.

I feel like I am falling, falling so slowly as if my soul is leaving me. I can't live happily ever after. I can't live with this guilt of having caused my own mate's death.

I feel a spark, deep inside me. It's a new kind of energy, running through our bond. I am startled awake, feeling our bond throbbing.

He is tagging at the bond from his end. I can feel him. He is calling me. It's there and it's real!

I jump to my feet, and then call onto my wolf to take over the skin. She does, feeling thrilled.
