With nowhere left to run, she stumbles straight into the path of Kai Blackwood—the exiled rogue Alpha, feared and unwanted by his own people. Instead of killing her, he takes her to his hidden den in the wild.
He teaches her how to survive, how to shift, and how to laugh again… but he refuses to claim her. “You deserve better than a rejected rogue,” he tells her every night.
As the mate bond snaps into place between them, Cora discovers she can heal him too. Together they fight rogue packs, dark witches, and the Blackwood pack itself. But when Cora finds out she is carrying Kai’s pup, he is terrified she will be trapped with the monster she always feared.
In a world where some mates were never meant to be rejected, Cora must choose: run with the rogue who would burn the world for her… or return to the Alpha who broke her heart and offers her the crown she never asked for.
The rogue and the unwanted Luna are about to teach the entire shifter world what real love and family truly mean.
