The Rejected Alpha

She was rejected. She ran. Now she's back—and she's not the weak wolf he threw away.

Three years ago, Alpha Kade River made the worst mistake of his life.

In front of the entire Silver Crest Pack, he rejected Isla Greene—his fated mate—and chose duty over destiny. She was too weak, too invisible, too... ordinary to be his Luna.

So Isla did what any broken-hearted wolf would do. She disappeared into the night, taking with her a secret that would change everything: she was pregnant with his child.

Now she's back. And the invisible girl is gone.

Isla returns for her best friend's wedding, stronger and fiercer than Kade ever imagined. But she's not alone. Three-year-old Lily—with her mother's determination and her father's unmistakable silver eyes—is proof of the life Kade destroyed when he spoke those rejection words.

The moment Kade discovers his daughter, everything changes. The human woman he chose over Isla suddenly feels like the mistake. The political alliance his rejection was meant to secure crumbles. And the mate bond he thought he'd severed roars back to life, demanding he claim what's rightfully his.

But Isla isn't interested in second chances. Not when his ex is plotting revenge. Not when a rival Alpha offers her the sanctuary and respect Kade never gave. And definitely not when someone hires rogues to kidnap Lily—targeting the secret baby who carries dual Alpha bloodline power in her veins.

Then Isla's dormant wolf awakens with a truth that changes everything.

She's not just a rejected mate or a struggling single mother. She's the last surviving heir of the legendary Silver Moon Pack—ancient wolf royalty with the power to command even the strongest Alphas. The "weak" wolf Kade threw away is actually a High Alpha, destined to rule over all packs.

Now pack politics explode. Kade's ex-Luna will do anything to destroy the family that replaced her. Rival packs circle, sensing vulnerability. And a dangerous organization of human hunters discovers that wolf shifters are real—and they want to experiment on Lily's unique genetics.

Isla must become the leader she was born to be.

To protect her daughter. To unite fractured packs on the brink of war. To claim her birthright as High Alpha.

And to decide if she can trust her heart to the alpha werewolf who shattered it.

Because Kade isn't giving up. He'll grovel. He'll fight. He'll burn down anyone who threatens his family. He rejected his fated mate once—he won't make that mistake again.

But earning back Isla's trust? That's the hardest battle he's ever faced.
