Rejected: Shadow Beast Shifters, Book 1

Some fates are chosen. Mira's was chosen for her—by a father whose betrayal branded her an outcast before she ever had a chance to prove herself.

Growing up in a wolf shifter pack should mean strength, belonging, and purpose. Instead, Mira knows only cruelty. After her father's catastrophic attempt on their pack leader's life, she's become something worse than an enemy—she's a punching bag with a pulse, tolerated only because disposing of her outright would be too merciful. When she finally breaks and runs, freedom lasts exactly as long as it takes Torin, the arrogant leader's son, to drag her back.

Her first shift is coming, the transformation that will reveal her true mate and change everything. Mira dares to hope. The mate bond is sacred, unbreakable—a second chance hiding inside her bones.

Then her wolf finds him.

Then he rejects her.

What follows is rawer and darker than any mate bond fantasy could prepare you for. Betrayal, forbidden hunger, and a wolf who refuses to stay broken collide in this paranormal romance that doesn't flinch from the uglier edges of desire. Mira has spent her whole life being told she's worthless. Her mate is about to discover exactly how dangerous a woman becomes when she finally stops believing it.

With heart-pounding tension and a slow-burn romance wrapped in genuine darkness, *Rejected* is the series opener that earned its number one spot—and will keep you reading until dawn.
