The Moon chose him.
He chose power.
She chose herself.
On the night of the Moon Rite, she believed her future was sealed. The bond awakened, the pack bowed, and destiny stood within reach—until the Moon Alpha invoked law over love and rejected her publicly, stripping her of protection, status, and home.
Cast out under a watching Moon, she refuses to break. Beyond pack territory, she rebuilds her life on her own terms—sharper, stronger, and no longer willing to be defined by fate or fear. But when lunar instability threatens the pack itself, her return is demanded… not as a mate, but as a solution.
Forced into proximity with the Alpha who once chose power over her, she confronts the truth: rejection was never inevitable—it was a choice. And love without courage will always abandon her.
Now, as lunar authority fractures and old laws fall, she must decide what she is willing to claim—and what she will never surrender again. Because this time, the bond will exist only if it is chosen freely… or not at all.
A powerful rejected-mate werewolf romance about betrayal, autonomy, redemption, and choosing love without losing yourself.
