The Lycan's Rejected Mate
Violet Ambrose has spent her entire life preparing for one thing: to be the perfect mate. Gentle, obedient, well-read, and dutiful, she believes her future will be decided under the moonlight at the Dark Moon pack’s mating ceremony. But when the bond snaps into place, it doesn’t bind her to love—it destroys her life.
Her true mate is Alpha Neal James. And before the entire pack, he rejects her.
Broken by the bond’s violent severing and betrayed by both her mate and her sister, Violet flees into the badlands, where survival is no longer a matter of etiquette or obedience, but blood and teeth. Saved from death by the guardian of the neutral lands, Violet disappears from the world she once knew, training for five brutal years to become something she was never raised to be: a warrior.
Scarred, hardened, and forged by loss, Violet returns to Dark Moon not as a trembling girl desperate for acceptance—but as a weapon. The rejection that stole her wolf still binds her fate, and the Moon Goddess herself demands Violet return to face it.
But Dark Moon has changed.
Neal has abandoned his pack. Violet’s family has vanished. And the Lycan King, Alec Gray—dangerous, commanding, and far more perceptive than he lets on—has his own plans for Violet. If she helps him hunt down a traitor, he promises answers. If she survives Lycan training, she may reclaim more than just her wolf.
As old wounds reopen and new alliances ignite sparks she never expected, Violet must decide who she truly is beyond the roles forced upon her: mate, sister, pawn, or weapon. Because the girl who once dreamed of being chosen is gone—and the woman who returned may be powerful enough to change the balance of the supernatural world.
