When the pack leader's son rejects our bond and exiles me, I'm convinced things can't get any worse. After I'm thrust into the center of a cataclysm spanning two realms, I quickly discover how wrong I was. I never asked to be different. I never asked to be the illegitimate daughter of a female wolfshifter who broke her mate-bond and screwed a mysterious stranger. My sire, whoever he was, couldn't be bothered to stick around and deal with the chaos he caused. Now, I'm the one causing chaos. I have no control over the destructive storms that rage around me every time I get upset. And it's not just happening in the human realm—my powers spill over into other realms as well. When I'm abducted by a formidable fae warrior who's convinced I'm about to be responsible for the death of his world, my only hope is to become more powerful than either of the men controlling my life. My shifter mate didn't want me at all. Now a dangerous fae magician wants me dead. To get out of this mess, I'll have to confront the mystery of my own past—the crime that led to my birth. Forget about fate-bonds. This she-wolf is taking charge before everything goes to hell. * * * Rejected by the Pack is a 110,000-word standalone rejected mates paranormal story with an HEA ending.
