Kole Winterclaw is a god among the wolves of the Blood Moon Pack. As heir to the throne, he is powerful, gorgeous, and of course, every she-wolf in Moon Valley wants to do him. Except for me. You see, I’m a half-blood. An outcast. Because I can’t shift. I’ve spent the last three years in wolf territory hiding out, keeping my head down until I can return home to the human realm. Then one day, the wolfy mate bond triggers and everything changes. Because guess who is my fated mate? I wish I could say there’s a happy ending, but that only happens in fairy tales. ***Author's note: Rejected Mate is an ADULT dark paranormal romance with some dark themes, possessive males, and adult language. It is a prequel to the Hitched Live series. It is set within the world of Azar, along with (in reading order) Hitched, Darkblood Academy, Royally Hitched, Darkblood Prison, Wolfish, Vampish and Of Gods and Wolves, but it's not necessary to read the other series first to enjoy this one.
