The moon chose her. The council destroyed her. Now she's coming home.
On her nineteenth birthday, Ottilie Marrow feels the mate bond snap into place across a crowded Gathering. The man who claims her is Bastien Korrigan, the most powerful Alpha in the north. She is a healer's daughter with a wolf that has never spoken, and the daughter of a woman branded a traitor. The pack calls her wolfless, tainted, a mistake the moon must have made.
Then, before the whole pack, Bastien rejects her.
The bond rips through her like a blade. Stripped of her name and driven past the border with a single satchel and her dead mother's pendant, Ottilie vanishes into the human world. She builds a quiet life from herbs and rain. She tells herself she is done with wolves, with Alphas, and above all with the man whose hands shook while he broke her heart.
But her wolf is waking. The pendant holds a secret her mother died to protect. And when a rival Alpha offers a marriage of peace and a seat at his archive, Ottilie sees her chance to uncover the truth: someone inside Ironvale sold the pack's secrets, and framed her mother for it.
To find the proof, she must walk back through the border she was banished from, on another man's arm, and face the Alpha who cast her out.
Bastien has spent five years drowning in regret, and he has been guarding a secret of his own. The rejection was never what it seemed. But the woman he left behind is no longer the girl he wronged. She is furious, she is powerful, and the old bond is not as dead as either of them swore.
With a treacherous elder watching every move and a war on the verge of ignition, Ottilie must decide whether the man who broke her can be forgiven, and whether she will let the moon, or anyone, choose for her ever again.
Rejected. Shunned. Reclaimed.
If you love fated mates, second chances, fierce heroines and brooding Alphas who must earn their redemption on their knees, Alpha's Rue: His Shunned Luna will keep you turning pages long after moonrise.
