Alpha King’s Rejected and Desired Breeder - A Dark Rejected Mate Wolf Shifter Romance #977287

Two months ago, they saved his brother. Now they'll pay the price.
Akira wakes up alone.
The bond is gone. Severed. And without it, the pack elders are already circling—questioning her claim, doubting her right to stand beside Kael as Luna.
The fated mate bond that once blazed between them is nothing but a faded scar now. They destroyed it to break the curse that turned Kael's brother into a monster. They thought the sacrifice was over.
They were wrong.
Something ancient has awakened.
Bodies drained of life. Symbols carved into trees. A creature that feeds on broken soul bonds is hunting them—and it's getting stronger.
The only way to stop it? Form a new bond. Not fated this time. Chosen. Built on love instead of magic. Built on trust instead of destiny.
But what if their souls don't recognize each other without fate forcing them together?
What if everything they felt was just the bond... and now that it's gone, there's nothing left?
Kael would burn the world to protect his mate.
He spent two months sleeping in another room because he's terrified Akira only stayed out of duty. That without the bond telling her to love him, she'll realize she's free to walk away.
But when the creature starts killing his wolves—when it comes for Akira—Kael will risk everything to save her.
Even if it means his brother has to make an impossible choice.
Even if it means walking into the void and never coming back.
A love rebuilt. A bond reforged. A sacrifice that will break your heart.
Kieran has his life back. His mind is his own. The curse is broken. But he can't watch Kael and Akira die for him. Not after everything they gave up to save him.
So he makes a choice. He'll form a bond with Lena—the quiet omega who sees past his scars—and they'll stop the creature together.
Seven days to fall in love.
Seven days to build a connection strong enough to save everyone.
Seven days before they have to destroy it.
Because sometimes the only way to kill a monster is to weaponize love itself.
