Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by the King

Harper Lane is the only human living inside the wolf kingdom of Ashwood, and everyone from the lowest omega to the pack elders never lets her forget it. She fought to earn her place at Alpha Grant Sutter's side, believing his mark on her skin meant she finally belonged somewhere. She was wrong.In front of the entire pack, Grant rejects her. He calls her weak, calls her a mistake, and sends her stumbling out of the great hall in front of hundreds of wolves who watch her humiliation like it's entertainment. Harper has nothing left. No mate, no pack, no dignity, and nowhere to run.

King Roman Ashwood, the most feared Alpha King in every territory, storms into the hall with a voice that shakes the walls and a stare that finds Harper before she can hide her tears. One breath near her is all it takes. He announces to the entire pack that she is his true mate, and no one, not even Grant Sutter, is foolish enough to argue with a king.

Harper goes from rejected and disgraced to claimed by the most powerful wolf alive, and she has no idea how to survive either version of her life. Roman is possessive, merciless to anyone who threatens her, and dangerously tender when they're alone, peeling back every wall she built to protect herself from wolves who see her as lesser. Under his hands and his growled promises, Harper starts to believe she might actually be wanted, not tolerated.

But rejection was never the end of Grant's story.

Watching Harper stand beside a king, glowing under his protection instead of shrinking beneath his own rejection, wakes something possessive and furious in him. He wants her back, and he's done pretending he doesn't. As Grant schemes his way back into her life and the politics of two rival packs collide, Harper is caught between the alpha who threw her away and the king who refuses to let anyone touch what's his.

Harper will have to decide which wolf actually deserves her, and Roman will have to prove that a crown isn't the only thing he's willing to fight for.
