Dante Hernandez, Alpha of the Crimson Pack, rejects Daniella Maynard at fifteen with cruel indifference. "I reject you, Queen of Barbosa," he declares with a smirk. Her response cuts just as deep: "And I reject your rejection, King of Narcissism." Daniella's past haunts her—trauma, near-death experiences, and abandonment by those meant to protect her. When her brother-in-law intervenes, he becomes her lifeline, pulling her from the pack's darkness. She's barely healing from her demons when Dante appears and severs their bond without explanation, unaware she's his fated mate. The cruelest blow comes when he compares her to his ex, repeating a pattern that has defined her entire life. Five years pass. Their paths collide once more, and everything shifts. Will Dante repeat his rejection, only to have Daniella deny him as he denied her? Or will fate rewrite their story entirely? Sequel to the Rejection Series—but perfectly readable as a standalone werewolf romance.
