Rejected Him Back

Rejected in front of her whole pack, on the night the moon finally chose her. Wren Halloway spent six years as the Ashgrove Pack kitchen girl, the wolfless embarrassment everyone pitied and no one saw. Then, at the Moon Ceremony, the mate bond snapped between her and Alpha Dorian Ashgrove, and he rejected her on the spot to keep the alliance he had promised to another woman. That night, alone in the woods, her wolf woke at last. Silver. Moon touched. The kind of wolf the oldest stories say comes once in a hundred years, the kind other packs kill or steal. So at dawn Wren did the one thing no rejected mate has ever done. She walked back into the clearing, shifted in front of the whole pack, and rejected him back. Now the rogue king of the Hollow has offered her sanctuary at a price no one will name, the Alpha who threw her away must earn what he refused, and the man who built the alliance has decided a silver wolf loose in the world is a threat to be ended. She was never the prize in this story. She is the decision. How long before the bond that cracked instead of breaking pulls them all back into the same clearing?
