The Rejected Mate Is Back And Rising
Five years ago, Alpha Damon Blackwood shattered Elena Winters’ heart with three words… I reject you.
Now she’s back… and she’s not alone.
As a rogue, Elena built a new life beyond pack borders, raising her secret daughter and burying the pain of the bond that almost destroyed her. But when her little girl falls ill with a deadly wolf sickness, one that only her true father’s blood can cure, Elena is forced to return to the territory she swore she’d never see again.
Damon never forgot the mate he cast aside. When he discovers the child he never knew existed, his world implodes. His wolf demands to claim what’s his… both mother and pup and this time, he won’t let them go.
But the pack is divided. Old enemies are watching. And the woman Damon rejected isn’t the same submissive wolf he remembers, she’s stronger, sharper, and out for justice.
As war brews between rival packs and betrayal rises within his own walls, Damon and Elena must decide: will they fight for vengeance… or surrender to the bond that could save them all?

Chapter: Chapter 5Chapter 5: The Luna PretenderElena’s POVThe light of the dawn falls on the curtains, brash and undesirable. The wolfsbane dust is gone, swept off early in the morning. But the scent lingers, bitter and taunting.Someone in this house wants me weak.I won’t tell Damon. Not yet. He’d lock me down harder, and I can barely breathe as it is.A knock echoes through the suite door. Before I can answer, it opens.Victoria Nightfang walks in like she owns the air itself.Her perfume hits first, rose and venom. Her hair shines like black glossy obsidian and her lips are a painted smile hiding icy teeth.“Should I call you Elena Winters?” she says smoothly. “Or had I better say, the prodigal rogue who came back.”I get out of the chair, and each muscle is tensed. "You should say nothing at all.”She laughs lightly, gliding closer. “Still direct. I remember that.”“Then you remember to stay out of my way.”Her gaze slides toward the adjoining door where Maya sleeps. “So it’s true. The little gi

Chapter: Chapter 4Chapter 4: A Cage with Silk WallsElena’s POVHe calls it protection. I call it captivity.The packhouse is exactly as I remember, polished wood, marble floors, and too many eyes. Every hallway carries his scent, heavy and intoxicating. My wolf paces inside me every time I breathe it in.The guards walk me through the front doors, pretending not to stare. They all know who I am now. The rejected mate who came back with the Alpha’s heir.Damon walks ahead, silent. His power fills the space like smoke.“This isn’t necessary,” I say coldly.“You need safety.”“I need space.”He stops at the base of the grand staircase, turning to face me. “You’ll have privacy. Not freedom.”“Then you haven’t changed at all.”His jaw tightens. “Rhea will meet us upstairs for the next treatment.”“I said I can handle it myself.”“You’re not a healer.”“I’m her mother.”“That doesn’t make you invincible.”The words sting. I look away before he sees it.We walk again. I keep my head high even as every memory

Chapter: Chapter 3Chapter 3: The Heir I Never Meant to HideElena’s POVThe silence after his words is unbearable.“Our pup.”Marcus stands frozen, eyes darting between us. Maya stirs again, groaning softly.“Get back,” I say quietly.Damon doesn’t move. His chest rises and falls hard, his wolf still pushing beneath his skin. His voice trembles with fury. “You kept her from me.”“She’s sick,” I snap. “That’s what matters.”“You had my child and ran.”“I had no choice.”“There is always a choice.”I laugh bitterly. “Not when you’re thrown out bleeding and rejected.”He flinches but doesn’t stop. “How old is she?”“Four.”His jaw tightens. “You left right after…”“Yes.”He exhales sharply, turning away for a second. His hands tremble as he drags them through his hair. “Gods, Elena.”I crouch beside Maya, brushing a hand over her cheek. “You don’t get to say my name like that. Not after everything.”He takes a step closer. “You should have told me.”“I owed you nothing.”“She’s my blood.”“She’s my life.”

Chapter: Chapter 2Chapter 2: The Alpha Who Let Me DieElena’s POVI still hear the howl ringing in my ears as I get to the cabin belonging to Marcus. The lights are still on, warm against the night. I barely put the car to a stop, and spring out.My arms ache from carrying Maya. Her skin feels too hot, her little breaths too weak.“Marcus!” I shout.The door swings open. There is my brother half-dressed with a white face."Elena?" His voice cracks. “What the hell…I mean, what are you doing here?”I push past him. “She’s burning up again. I need water, something cold.”He stares at Maya in my arms. “Is that...”“Don’t ask. Just help me.”He moves fast then, taking a bowl, filling it up from the tap. I put Maya on the couch and put down the damp cloth on her forehead. She whimpers softly and her lips shake.Marcus crouches beside me, whispering, “Elena, you shouldn’t have come here without warning me. Patrols are on high alert. Damon...”“Don’t say his name,” I snap.He sighs. “He’ll sense you. He alrea

Chapter: Chapter 1Chapter 1: The Road to Shadow RidgeElena’s POVThese mountains have not changed. There is still the smell of pine, rain and regret in the air. Each mile I drive through feels like swallowing glass.Maya sleeps in the backseat, her little head rolling with each curve. Her breath comes thin and shallow. I keep glancing at the mirror, afraid she’ll stop breathing if I blink too long.“Almost there, baby,” I whisper. “Just a little longer.”She doesn’t answer.The dial of the dashboard goes on past midnight. The fog fills the road and rings the car round. My wolf is weak and uneasy within me. She hates this place. I do too.Shadow Ridge. The home I once dreamed of ruling beside Damon Blackwood. The same home that threw me out five years ago when he rejected our bond.I grip the wheel tighter. I didn’t come back for him. I came back for our daughter.Silver Veil Syndrome. The name itself sounds like a curse. It’s what happens when a pup is born from a broken mate bond. Her wolf is fading,
