lycan kings secret heart - A Rejected Mate, a Dangerous Secret, and the Alpha King Who Cannot Let Her Go #997165

Helen Swanson has spent her life on the edge of Grey Hollow Pack, tolerated but never fully claimed as one of its own. All she wants is the freedom to leave pack hierarchy behind and build a life no Alpha, bloodline, or ancient law can control.
Then she meets Hudson Valentine.
He is the Lycan King, Alpha Sovereign of the Seven Packs, and the last wolf Helen expects fate to bind to her.
Their connection is immediate, public, and impossible to hide.
So is Hudson’s rejection.
Before the gathered packs, the King refuses the mate fate has given him, leaving Helen humiliated, furious, and determined never to let him decide her worth again. But refusing Hudson does not free her from the bond between them, and his rejection creates consequences neither of them fully understands.
Worse, someone wants Helen silenced.
Strangers cross forbidden borders. Old symbols connected to her forgotten past begin appearing. Questions about her parents refuse to stay buried. And the Crown’s own laws suggest that Helen may carry a bloodline powerful enough to threaten everything Hudson is sworn to protect.
Now the King who cast her aside cannot ignore the danger closing around her, while Helen refuses to mistake protection for love or fate for consent.
Lycan King’s Secret Heart is an emotionally charged paranormal romance for readers who love rejected mates, fated bonds, possessive Lycan kings, hidden heritage, pack politics, dangerous secrets, slow-burn tension, and heroes who must earn the women they once wounded.
Fate may have chosen them first.
But Helen will decide whether Hudson deserves to be chosen at all.
Step into the Seven Packs and discover a rejected-mate romance where love must be earned, trust has a price, and destiny is only the beginning.
