About this book
My mate called me weak and walked away.
Annie
I try not to think about mating the wild wolf from the Last Pack. It happened. He left. The witch sorted me out and life kept going.
I’m anxious all the time—every moment of every day—but I’m not worried about him. He hates me, and he’s not coming back. He made that perfectly clear.
I should have worried.
After all, everyone like me knows the first rule of anxiety—if you don’t worry about something, it will happen.
And the mate who left me is now trespassing on my pack’s territory, and this time, when I run, he chases.
Justus
My mate is damaged.
She’s beautiful, but she smells wrong, and she’s messed up like all the other wolves who pretend to be human.
Our mating was a disaster. I left her, but I couldn’t keep away.
And now—things have changed. I can’t keep my distance anymore, but she’s still as skittish as a rabbit.
She thinks I’m a monster, and catching her isn’t enough—
I have to figure out how to make her stay.
The Wild Wolf’s Rejected Mate is a shifter romance about fated mates finding their way back to each other. No cheating. HEA guaranteed. Intended for adult listeners only.

Some of this author's books end too soon for me but that, and many other reasons, is why she is a good author. I felt like Annie and Justus's story was just beginning. I feel like there is more to tell and more to see. There are some unanswered questions, like how are the first/last pack wolves able to shift \"normally.\" Is it the magic of them being together, living as nature intended or is it something they teach from birth? And why exactly do they call Kennedy the \"blesses one.\" There...

I’m glad we get to read Annie’s story, I hadn’t realized this was about one of the unmated females from the Tyrant Alpha’s Rejected Mate arc beforehand. I can hardy wait until we get to read Kennedy’s story, a female with a male wolf, which will be a great read too. Because of Annie’s anxiety disorder (basically PTSD) she has suffered from fear and a debilitating inner voice that has made her afraid of everything. We hear a lot of that in this story as we get to know her better as well as her...

have been a somewhat ambivalent reader of Cate C. Wells’ Five Packs series. I don’t generally enjoy omegaverse or fated mates, I particularly don’t love rejected mates. But, I always enjoy Wells’ writing and I have appreciated the way she moves the Five Packs world from dismissive/abusive towards women to somewhat more equitable. It’s still a society with built in inequality and the pack members rights are only as strong as the alpha is willing to grant and enforce. There is quite a bit of...

The story is ok but the author overdid Annie's anxiety. It's ridiculous especially when her mate is doing everything he can. Very frustrating. I cant believe he was so patient. I did not care for all the reminiscing about the past - \"when I was younger...my uncle, aunt, ma and pa used to\"....blah blah. So boring. Had to skip most of those parts. Also im not sure what's the point of writing pages and pages of Annie in her wolf form. We get it, her wolf likes her mate but we don't want to read...

I don't even know where to begin. This book had everything that the last one did, which the fourth one was my favorite. By the way. It had the misunderstandings, The confusion of rejection, but in this one one thing was very clear. (SPOILERs AHEAD) SHE rejected HIM, and then being an 18-year-old boy at the time he blew up at her and then regretted it for the next 6 years like an idiot. He said some really awful things before he left. I'm glad we got a lot of his perspective in this one because...
