Title: The Tyrant Alpha's Rejected Mate
Series: Five Packs #1
Author: Cate C. Wells
He rejected me, and then he realized I’m the center of his world. Bummer.
Una
I keep my head down. In this backwards pack, females rank low, and my bad leg makes me damaged goods. It doesn’t help that I’ve never shifted. I don’t mind the late twenties single life, though. No one’s paying any attention as I build an illicit farmer’s market empire.
My roomies and I are doing it for ourselves, and if life under Killian Kelly is stifling, at least it’s predictable. We can deal.
But when biology finally kicks in, I lose my mind. I claim our alpha as my mate. And he rejects me in front of the whole pack.
It’s all good. It only hurts when I breathe. I’ll survive. That’s what I do.
Who wants an arrogant jerk for a mate, anyway? I’ve got a business to run.
Killian
To lead this pack out of the dark ages, I’ve had to be hard. Merciless. I don’t flinch, and I don’t make mistakes.
Una Hayes isn’t my mate.
My wolf might have some kind of strange infatuation, but if she were mine, I’d know it. And I can walk away, can’t I?
And if I keep coming back? If she starts living in my head?
I’m the strongest male in five generations. My pack scrambles to do my bidding. I can bring one quiet female back in line. No one can possibly be as stubborn as I am.
There’s no way I’ve ruined the best thing that’s ever happened to me.
I’m the Quarry pack alpha. I don’t lose.
The Tyrant Alpha’s Rejected Mate is a full-grown shifter romance. No cheating. HEA guaranteed. Intended for adult readers only.
The Tyrant Alpha's Rejected Mate is another book that I found on a must-read list of paranormal romances.
The heroine, Una Hayes, is a werewolf who hasn’t yet transformed into a wolf. The pack sidelines her, along with other females, due to this. Una walks with a limp from an attack that nearly killed her as a child. Though she appears weak, she’s far from it. Una is intelligent and resourceful. She won’t apologize for taking actions to improve her life and those of her loved ones, even without her Alpha’s knowledge.
Everything changes when biology kicks in, and Una realizes the alpha, Killian Kelly, is her mate. What follows nearly destroys her: he rejects her in front of the entire pack.
Killian never believed he had a mate, having abandoned that dream long ago. He’s devoted his life to leading the pack and fixing his father’s failures. No one is more shocked than Killian when Una claims him as her mate. It can’t be true—or can it?
I love Una! What a fantastic female character. She’s tough and determined, giving Killian a run for his money. Forgiving Killian was easy once you understood why he rejected her.
