The Alpha Rejected Me… His Wolf Never Did - A Dark Paranormal Werewolf Romance of Fated Mates and Second Chances #977005

She left the pack three years ago. He rejected her at the claiming, in front of everyone, and she went. She told herself it wasn't the bond keeping her away when she came back. It was the intelligence briefing she carried and the two-day limit she'd promised herself. His wolf had other ideas the moment she crossed the boundary line.

Lena Vale returns to Dravec Pack with a contact's promise of a hearing, a threat assessment the council needs, and a very firm plan to be gone before the end of the week. She is not back for him. She has spent three years building a life that does not require Dravec's territory or Kael Dravec's existence, and she has been largely successful, if you do not count the specific ache she has learned to map around and work beside and not examine directly. She is here for the Harrow threat. She is not here for him. She has repeated this to herself enough times that she mostly believes it.

Kael Dravec, Alpha of Dravec Pack, made his decision at the claiming ceremony with thirty-seven wolves depending on him and a contract his father had signed that left him no room. He has spent three years knowing exactly what it cost her and why he never sent the explanation she deserved. He has been honest with himself about why — not the reasons he told himself at the time, but the actual one underneath: he was afraid of what would happen if she knew and came back, and he was afraid of what would happen if she knew and didn't. He made a coward's choice and dressed it in every available justification.

She knows the body language of a man managing a lie. He knows she is not going to make it easy. The Harrow threat does not care about either of their timelines. And the bond his wolf never stopped carrying is not interested in the two-day limit.

The threat is real and the council hearing will happen and she will do the job she came to do with exactly the competence she has always had. But the packhouse is the same packhouse and he is not the same man and the explanation he owes her has been three years overdue, and a woman who built a whole life around not needing this pack and came back anyway already knows something she is not ready to say out loud.

Perfect for fans of Kresley Cole, Sherrilyn Kenyon, and Jennifer L. Armentrout.
