Alpha King's Human Mate: He Rejected Her Before His Entire Pack. Her Return Is the One Thing His Crown Cannot Survive

By Grace Henry

I reject you as my fated mate.Nova Reyes was nineteen, human, and utterly unprepared for the way Kaelan Ashborne's rejection would gut her, not just the loss of a bond she never asked for, but the public, brutal proof that she wasn't enough. Not strong enough. Not wolf enough. Not his.

So she left. And she built herself into someone that word could never touch again.

Five years later, Nova doesn't flinch, doesn't fold, and doesn't need anyone's approval to know exactly what she's worth. She's House Marrow's most dangerous negotiator, sharp enough to end wars without drawing blood. And when politics and old debts drag her back through Ashborne's gates, she walks in like she owns the ground beneath her feet.
Kaelan hasn't taken another mate in five years. He's told himself it was the right call so many times the lie stopped tasting like one. But the second Nova steps back into his court, his wolf comes off the leash for the first time in half a decade, snarling one word he can't outrun.

Mine.

Circumstance locks them together under one roof. One crown. One arrangement neither of them wanted and neither of them can escape. He wants her out of his territory. His wolf wants her under him, marked, claimed, his, completely.
And Nova, who spent five years learning exactly how to survive a wolf who breaks his own rules, isn't interested in being anyone's rejected mate twice.

This time, if he wants her, he's going to have to earn every single inch of her.
And she is going to make him work for it, body, crown, and soul.
