REJECTED BY THE ALPHA, CROWNED AS HIS QUEEN

He rejected her before the entire pack.
He never expected her to return as the woman who could rule it.
Elara Veyne knows what it means to be rejected by the man she was fated to love. When Kael Arden, the Alpha of Blackthorn, rejects their mate bond, he leaves her with a wound she cannot simply forget.

But walking away changes Elara.
Beyond the pack border, she discovers truths about her bloodline, her mother, and an ancient power tied to the throne. What begins as a painful escape becomes something far more dangerous when secrets inside Blackthorn are exposed and enemies move against the pack.

Then Kael comes looking for her.
His regret is real. So is the bond between them.
But Elara refuses to return as the broken mate he once cast aside. If Kael wants a second chance, he must face what his rejection cost her, and accept that she will never surrender herself for love again.
As betrayal spreads through the pack and an enemy threatens everything they are rebuilding, Elara must decide what kind of Queen she will become.

Because the woman Kael rejected is gone.
And the Queen rising in her place will choose her own fate.
