Ember of the Rejected: A Rejected Mate Rival Alpha Romance: Enemies to Lovers, Pack Politics, and a Hidden Bloodline

He marked another woman in front of the entire pack.

Rowan Emberveil spent her whole life believing that the night of the Marking would make her Luna. Everyone knew she was Alpha Caelum Duskraven's true mate. His wolf had recognized her on the winter hunt. The bond was real. And then, before three hundred wolves, he walked past her and marked another woman, because his father taught him that love makes a ruler weak.

Rowan did not cry. She did not beg. She lifted her chin.

And when the enemy walked into that hall and offered her his hand, she took it.

Zane Nighthollow is everything Rowan was raised to fear. The Alpha of Crimsonveil. Caelum's greatest rival. The one man Shadowveil taught her to hate. She expected him to use her as a weapon against the mate who threw her away. Instead he gave her a room of her own, a pack that answered to her, and something no one had ever offered her in her life. A choice.

Because Rowan's rejection was never an accident. Her bloodline is older than either pack, old enough to frighten the man who engineered her downfall, and the moment she stops trying to be chosen, a power wakes in her that no Alpha can command. As Caelum realizes far too late what he threw away, as her true mate crosses into enemy territory to beg for a second chance, Rowan discovers the one thing that terrifies both Alphas more than losing her.

She no longer needs either of them.

And when she finally offers her wrist to be marked, it will not be because she was claimed. It will be because she chose.

Ember of the Rejected is the first book in The Emberveil Saga, a steamy, emotionally charged rejected-mate rival-alpha werewolf romance for readers who love enemies-to-lovers tension, pack politics, alpha regret and groveling, a hidden bloodline awakening, and above all a heroine who rises from public humiliation and refuses to let the man who rejected her decide her worth. Book One ends on a cliffhanger. The saga continues in Book Two.
