About this book
From USA Today Bestselling Author, Kayleigh King, comes a new angsty rejected omega romance duet.
Fated Mates: Two characters who are destined to be together.
But what happens when you’re rejected by your fated mate?
"I, Rennick Fallamhain, Pack Alpha, reject you, Noa Alderwood, as my mate..."
I never planned on returning to the pack that exiled me, but life has a way of forcing you to face your ghosts.I’m a shifter without access to her wolf. Latent. A weakness in their mighty ranks.
For eight years, I stayed away. I built a life, found a new purpose.
But Fate—that conniving b!tch—has me crawling back to the people who cast me out.
I’m not sure what I expected to find upon my return, but I can tell you with certainty I never expected him.
Rennick Fallamhain.
The pack’s new Alpha.
One innocent touch has my trapped wolf raging against her chains. Without thought, I’ve opened my big mouth and claimed him as my mate.
Right in front of the woman he’s already promised to.
Oops.

And instead of joy or relief, we get rejection, denial, and characters making choices that hurt in ways that feel personal. No instant claiming. No cozy destiny. Just vibes, pain, and consequences. Noa is the kind of...

Noa believes she is a latent wolf and that is why she and her mother left their pack, but she is forced to return for a favor and she discovers her scent match fated mate… but that’s not all. Slowly memories and important bits of her past are making themselves known to her and perhaps her latency isn’t as it seems. Unfortunately, Noa also ends up rejected by her fated mate Rennick and whilenot for the reason you might typically think, Noa ends up broken - physically and mentally. You see, he is...
