She Rejected the Alpha King… He Proved Her Wrong - A Dark Paranormal Werewolf Romance of Enemies to Lovers and Fated Mates #977004

She found out her fated mate had known for eight months and said nothing. So she rejected him first, in front of his council, on the record. He spent the next thirty days proving she was right to be angry and wrong to think he'd give up.

Wren Calloway has spent three years building something that actually works — a practice that fights for unaffiliated wolves who don't have pack standing to fight for themselves. She is good at it, she is careful about it, and she has spent considerable effort making sure her life does not touch the Alpha King's world at any point. When his men show up at her door with a summons dressed as an invitation, she knows exactly what it is and she goes anyway, because disappearing was never her style.

Caius, Alpha King, recognized the mate bond at the Keldrath Summit eight months ago. He watched her work a room full of alpha politicians, registered the bond with complete clarity, and removed himself before she could see the recognition on his face. The Hollow had been active for three months. They were targeting unaffiliated wolves for a specific political purpose, and she was unaffiliated, publicly visible, and would have been an obvious mechanism against him. He chose distance over declaration and he held the line for eight months and he did not once consider that she would figure it out before he was ready.

She found the bond in the council filing record. She rejected him before he could explain. He went to her apartment with an emergency ward provision and she told him what that actually was. The Hollow does not care about either of their timelines.

The threat to unaffiliated wolves is escalating and the Alpha King's logic was always sound and also entirely beside the point, because you do not get to spend eight months deciding someone's risk for them without their knowledge and then show up with paperwork expecting gratitude. She knows the danger is real. She also knows the difference between being protected and being managed, and she has been managed before, and she is not interested in a lesser version of the safety she's already proved she deserves.

Perfect for fans of Jennifer L. Armentrout, Ilona Andrews, and Nalini Singh.
