The happiest day of her life became her worst nightmare. Not only was Tana left on the altar by her mate on her wedding day, but she was also rejected by her mate, the alpha of the middle forest, who chose her stepsister over her. She was exiled from the pack, and forced to drink a potion to break the bond with her mate, which left her in immense pain that led to the disconnection between her and her wolf, phoenix. 

She found herself facing the cruelty of life as she tried to survive as a rogue outside her pack. However, fate played it part, and she stumbled upon the alpha of the HellGuard pack, Jackson, who had feelings for her since their youth but couldn't recognize her with her new transformation caused by the potion she took. 

Will she be able to get her revenge on the alpha of the middle forest for the unforgettable pain he caused while trying to survive outside her pack? Will Jackson find out that she is the woman he had loved for years?

The Rejected Mate and the Rogue King

　　He looked at me for a moment, speechless and stunned, before he threw his head back with a sigh. "Fine. I guess you deserve to know the truth then," he finally responded. I stared at him patiently. "The truth is, I have a curse and I need my physical contact to escape that phase," he explained, startling me.


　　I gulped deeply. "Wait, this physical contact, is there a specific person you must share it with? Like me probably?" I asked, but he was quiet.


　　I parted my lips to ask again, but he finally replied. "my mate," he said, and I was shocked.


　　He required his mate physically before he could go through his phase. He sighed and shook his head. "I'm sorry to hear you're finding out this way," I raised my hand to stop him before rushing out.


　　I had too many questions swirling through my head. If he required his mate, then why was he holding me instead?
