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 taken aback by my calmness as I parted his back gently, and he relaxed immediately. He looked at me with emotions swirling in his eyes. He stood up and looked at the bed with an expressionless face. "I don't feel sleepy. You can go to bed, I'll join you later," he said, turning to walk to the door, but I quickly reached for his hand.


　　"Where are you going?" I asked with a frown. He smiled at me as if trying to reassure me.


　　"It's okay. I'll be back soon. I just want to take some air outside and after that, I promise I'll come back to meet you here but don't wait for me," he said as he caressed my hand tenderly.


　　Shaking my head, I quickly spoke. "Let me join you there. I also want to get some breather. I mean if you don't mind actually," I responded, and he smiled at me.


　　"I just want some time for myself, so just stay here.  I promise to be back before you notice," he added, pulling his hand away from my grip.
