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

　　Today marked another day to meet Jackson as agreed, and I stood in front of the mirror. I could hear my heart pounding inside its rib cage. I knew this was the norm and I must meet with him every so often. However, I kept remembering our last encounter which still brought a fluttering feeling.


　　Swallowing dryly, I walked out of the door and went to his room. I knocked on his door and he invited me in. My gaze darted around and unlike before, he was already bathed and dressed. He sat on the bed waiting for me and I raised a brow as I walked towards him.


　　"What is that in your hand?" I asked, looking at the book he held.
