THE REJECTED
They called me stray, cursed, nothing.
Then the bond hit like lightning—and the Alpha cut me down with one word: rejected.
Rust Ridge High is all lockers, smoke, and fights that start over nothing. I keep my head up, fists ready, rules carved into bone. Don't change in daylight. Don't beg. Don't expect a bond.
Then he shows up—sent to watch me, not save me. He smells like rain and trouble. We're pulled together anyway, wrong place, wrong time, wrong for the pack. When the Alpha makes their ruling, I do the one thing that might keep him breathing: I burn what we are.
Now the enforcers want my head, the pack wants a clean story, and the moon wants blood. I won't kneel. I won't shut up. If I have to build a pack out of outcasts and broken hearts, I will. If love is the crime, I'll take the sentence.
This is a raw, fast, high-school werewolf romance about choosing yourself when power says you don't count—and the kind of love that refuses to die quiet.
Perfect for readers who want:
Gritty high-school setting with gang/street slang
Enemies-to-lovers heat and a forbidden bond
Pack politics, ruthless Alphas, and back-alley fights
A fierce, hurt heroine who won't break
A protective "sent" love interest torn between duty and heart
Found family made from outcasts
A bittersweet, aching end that still leaves a spark of hope
Content notes: strong language, bullying, blood, injuries, controlling leaders, trauma, sensual scenes, grief.
