Rejected By The Alpha, Claimed By His Rival

After five years of waiting and a shattered Mate Promise, Selene Ashford finds her name dragged through the mud by the very Alpha she trusted — Caius Langford, who spread vicious rumors to keep her dependent while he sheltered another She-Wolf and her pup. Cast into public humiliation and left with nothing, Selene accepts a match with Rhys Thorne, a fearless warrior Alpha who steps forward when every other door has closed. But Selene Ashford did not survive five years of quiet suffering only to walk away without settling the debt.
