once rejected, twice desired by diane doherty

I was never meant to love him. Zander was my mate, my husband, my Alpha—but not my choice. My heart had always belonged to my childhood best friend, Laurent. We dreamed of a future together, but fate was cruel, binding us to different mates. Still, I couldn’t let go. Even after marrying Zander, I betrayed him, seeking solace in Laurent’s arms.

But the Moon Goddess had other plans. Tragedy struck, and I was forced to make an impossible choice. I ran. For seven years, I stayed away. For seven years, I tried to forget. But now, the pack needs me. A war is coming, and I am the only one who can save them. Returning means facing my past, the mate I once scorned, and the love I thought I lost. Zander is different now—stronger, colder. He doesn’t want me back. I don’t blame him. But the bond between us never truly broke. And this time… neither of us can run from it. Will love be enough to mend what was shattered, or are we doomed to be each other’s greatest regret?
