Rejected by My Alpha Mate

The worst part about a one-night stand? Discovering he’s my fated mate—and he hates everything about my bloodline.Seline Here’s my life checklist:One crumbling apartment.Two looming loan sharks.And a mother who reminds me daily that I’m half warlock, half wolf, and 100% nobody’s first choice.Bartending was supposed to pay the bills, not land me in a werewolf turf war—or in Austin’s bed for one scorching night. My dormant wolf howled at the chance, but he crushed that hope in seconds.Turning away should be easy. Surviving what’s coming? Not so much.Now bodies are piling up in Arrow Brooke, a rival Alpha is hunting for me, and Austin’s smoldering gaze says otherwise.I don’t need him—except I can’t seem to escape.Austin I never wanted a mate—especially not her. She’s half witch, half lycan: everything my pack despise, everything my wolf craves.Rejecting her was supposed to keep us both safe. But the more I push, the harder I fall.With danger circling, I’ll break every rule to protect her—even if it shatters my pack, my revenge, and the only peace I’ve ever known.She’s mine… and I’m done letting her go.
