"I, Marcus Ashwood, today reject you, Anastasia, as my mate." "NO!" I shrieked, as the world crumbled beneath my feet. Anastasia lived in the shadow of her twin sister, Princess Raven, her entire life…Until fate bound them both to Prince Marcus. Two sisters. One mate. One rejection that shattered everything. Hunted. Betrayed. Left for dead. And then—he found her. Ethan, the cursed Alpha King of Luparctica, has waited five years for the mate destined to break his deadly full-moon curse. When Anastasia is cast out by her own blood, he takes her in—not as a savior, but as a man who's been broken too. Now, as rival kingdoms draw their blades and Raven rises to claim it all, Anastasia must rise from the ashes of rejection and reclaim the future fate once tried to erase. She was never meant to survive. But she might be the key to saving them all.

"For years, I belonged to him. Not his mate. Not his love. But his bedmate. His Gamma. His shadow in the night. Alpha Calhoun made sure no man dared touch me, no wolf dared look at me. I was his possession, his secret, his sin wrapped in skin. And I endured it all—his rough hands, his dark devotion, his kisses that tasted like fire and chains because at least, for a while, he was mine. Until she returned. His destined mate. His so-called true love. And suddenly, I was nothing. Cast aside, silenced, left to wither in the shadows of a love that had never been mine to claim. But the thing about being claimed by a man like Calhoun… is that he never truly lets you go. ""Try to leave me, Elodie,"" his voice had been a snarl against my throat, his grip bruising my waist. ""I'll burn down every border, tear apart every wolf that stands in my way, until you crawl back to me. You're mine, even if the Moon Goddess herself wants to rip you away."" He didn't know then that I already had one foot out the door. And when I finally left his pack… I took more than just my broken heart with me."

“I, Julius Armstrong, reject Doris Charles as my mate.” The laughter came right after. This was the second time my mate rejected me because I cannot talk. In the pack, they call me dumb not because I am stupid, but because I am mute. When I turned eighteen, my first mate rejected me for that reason. Today, it was the Gamma. He is twenty-one, the same age as the Alpha and Beta. This was his third rejection. The first girl was too fat, the second was too short and now, I was dumb. I never wanted to attend the mating ceremony. I knew how it would end, but my stepmother forced me to go, and my stepsisters came just to watch me get mocked again. The next day, wolves who had found their mates returned to officially claim them before the Alpha and pack leaders. I went only because I was forced, just to stand there and watch my stepsister get chosen. Then something happened that no one expected. The Alpha claimed me as his mate in front of everyone. Was I shocked? Yes. Did I believe him? No. Did I think it was a cruel joke? Absolutely. Because no Alpha would choose a rejected, mute girl like me.

I, Amelie Ashwood, Reject you, Tate Cozad, as my mate. I REJECT YOU! is what I screamed right before I took the silver blade that I just dipped in a bowl of my own blood to my mate mark.

After years together, her mate was not the man he claimed to be. Amelie is forced to perform the Rejection Ritual to set herself feel. Her freedom comes at a price, one of which is an ugly black scar."Nothing! There's nothing! Bring her back!" I scream with every part of my being. I knew before he said anything. I felt her in my heart say goodbye and let go. At that moment, an unimaginable pain radiated to my core. Alpha Gideon Alios loses his mate, on which should be the happiest day of his life, the birth of his twins. Gideon doesn't have time to grieve, left mateless, alone, and a newly single father of two infant daughters.Amelie Ashwood and Gideon Alios are two broken werewolves that fate has twisted together. This is their second chance at love, or is it their first? As these two fated mates come together, sinister plots come to life all around them. How will they come unite to keep what they deem the most precious safe?

“I, Thomas Bennett, reject Sophie Turner as my mate.” The bond shattered. Pain exploded through my chest like someone had ripped out my heart with bare hands. My knees buckled, and I hit the ground hard. Someone screamed—maybe me, maybe my wolf, maybe both. “I choose Lily Adams as my true mate.” The pack's shock was palpable. Choosing a new mate minutes after rejection? Even Alpha Jensen looked uncomfortable. “The Moon Goddess blessed your bond with Sophie,” one of the pack elders spoke up. “To reject it is—” “The Goddess's will is mysterious,” Tom cut in smoothly. “Perhaps she showed me Sophie first so I would recognize my true mate when I found her.” I wanted to vomit. How many times had he fed me those same sweet lines? Lily stepped forward, radiant in a white dress. I suddenly remembered helping her pick it out last week. Had she bought it for this moment? “I accept Thomas Bennett as my mate,” she said clearly. “And I accept the position of Luna of the Silver Moon Pack.” Rejected by her destined mate and betrayed by her pack, Luna warrior Sophie finds herself drowning her sorrows at a human bar. That's where she meets the mysterious Christian Knight—a powerful Alpha from a rival pack. Little does she know, he's not just any Alpha—he's her second-chance mate and her new boss at the pack's front company, Knight Industries.
