“I, Alpha Michael Goldline of the Night Fang pack, reject you, Ariana Davids, as my mate.” He said, and my lips parted. I couldn’t say a word. I simply stared into his eyes, watching him, looking into his cold green eyes. 

Everything faded into the background. All the sounds, faces… everything. All I could see was him, as his words replayed in my head.

I, Alpha Michael Goldline…

Michael rejected me. In front of everyone. 

… NightFang pack, reject you…

This was our chance. What was he doing? 

… Ariana Davids as my mate.

"Rejected by her pack and the boy she loved." 

Anna thought she'd never find her place in the world. But when a chance encounter with the ruthless Lycan King Luke sparks a passionate romance, she must confront the secrets of her past and the danger of their forbidden love. Amidst war and ancient curses, Anna is torn: will she embrace their destiny together or will their love be torn apart by the very forces that brought them together?

Bonded to Her Cursed Lycan

I found Miguel behind the house, sitting with his knees raised and his elbows on his knees.

Quietly, I sat next to him, and swallowed. I didn't know how to comfort him. Miguel was rarely angry or hurt. He was just soft on the inside, wanting everyone to be okay.

And he was the one who'd reached out to me first when it felt like my world was crumbling apart. I felt I needed to do something.

"She is beautiful." I said softly, "Your mother is."

"What did you come here to do?" He asked, without looking at me.

"Unfortunately, she's not as strong as you are, and is easily hurt. I could tell by her reaction today that she hasn't gone a day without thinking of you."

"It's just the shock on her face. It was a different kind of shock. It was such a good thing that she couldn't believe it was true. She was speechless, happy, guilty, sad, and longing to hold you in her arms."
