Bound by Starlight - A Rejected Mate Second Chance Werewolf Romance #968015

She survived his rejection. Now she's the only one who can save his world — and she's done begging for a place in it.
Seven years ago, Alpha King Lorcan of Dúnrath stood before his entire court and severed the mate bond with the one woman the Moon Goddess had chosen for him. He told himself it was sacrifice. He told himself his kingdom needed him more than she did. He never told himself the truth: that he was a king who lacked the courage to be a man.
Saoirse Mael should have died that night. The rupture of a rejected mate bond burns from the inside out — and hers nearly did. But the Moon Goddess caught her before she fell, rewove her broken thread into the celestial Veil itself, and made her something the ancient texts only whispered about: a Starborn. A living anchor in the fabric that holds all wolf-kind together. More powerful than any Alpha. Answerable to no one but the stars.
She has spent five years building the Ashveil Sanctuary — a refuge for every wolf the pack system broke and discarded. She has spent five years not thinking about him.
Then the stars begin to go dark.
Someone is deliberately destroying the Veil of Aelith, pack by pack, wolf by wolf — extinguishing star-threads like candles, leaving entire packs unable to shift, unable to feel the moon, unable to remember what they were. The weapon is ancient, the damage is spreading, and the only soul alive who can read the fractures and find the source is Saoirse.
Which means she has to go back to Dúnrath.
Which means she has to face the Alpha King whose rejection left a silver scar from her collarbone to her ribs — and who has been living with a fading star-thread and a dying wolf ever since, paying in silence for the choice he made.
Lorcan is not the man he was. He knows what he did. He knows what it costs her. He knows he has no right to ask for anything — and he asks for nothing. Hey wait. He changes. He shows her, not in declarations but in every small and costly daily choice, that he understands the difference between a king who needs a queen and a man who has decided to deserve one.
But the Voidbloom curse has a cure — and it isn't a weapon or a rite or a sacrifice of blood. It is the completed mate bond between a Starborn and her original mate. Freely chosen. Fully given. Or not at all.
Saoirse did not survive his rejection to become his solution.
But she is beginning to wonder if she came back to Dúnrath for the world — or for herself.
If you love slow-burn second chance romance, ancient world paranormal settings, fiercely independent heroines, and alpha heroes who earn it rather than demand it, Bound by Starlight will keep you reading through the night.
