"I reject you, Cordelia..."
I've been rejected by my fated mate. Not once, but twice.
What can I say? I'm an overachiever.
_______________________________Cordelia
My entire world falls apart the night my mate rejects me. He's the Alpha's son, the future leader of Frostclaw Pack, and the strongest of us all. And me? I'm the wolfless orphan who's never quite fit in.
Worthless. That's what I'll always be if I stay here, and I can't abide that. So I run.
In all my running, I never thought it would lead me to Bloodstone Pack, the place where I was born-and where the fates offer me a second shot at happily-ever-after. This is my chance to finally have a true home and a pack that loves and accepts me. I'm even blessed with another mate- the pack Enforcer. The fates, however, have a cruel sense of humor. I'm rejected again. But this time there's nowhere to run and even if there was I wouldn't go. I'm done running. I won't give up the home I've found all because another alpha wants better than the fates decided.
I survived one rejection and I'll survive this one too.

They say bad things come in threes...
There are ferals roaming the woods, the new healer is as mouthy as she is a pain in my ass, and the cherry on top is she's my fated mate.
Once the moon goddess selects a match, a war on your part does not constitute an emergency on hers and they insist Cordelia is my mate. But I'm the pack Enforcer and a mate is a weakness I can't afford. Not now. Not ever. I do the only thing I can when biology kicks in.
I reject her.
Stupid plans have stupid results. Each day I don't claim her eats at my insides and the starving only gets worse when I'm in her presence. Even an idiot like me knows I made the biggest mistake of my life not claiming her. When a war sets its sights on us, the only soul I care about is the mate I rejected. She's the one my heart beats for, and if she's not safe nothing in this world matters.
