The Rejected Mate

The Rejected Mate
Abandoned, abused, and rejected by her fated mate, Tyler West, the 'weakest link' of the Red Demon Pack, holds a secret power that could shatter worlds. On the cusp of her 16th birthday, a brutal rejection ignites a dormant strength. With a stolen Lamborghini and a heart set on revenge, Tyler vanishes into the night. But the pack's alpha, Stephan, quickly realizes his grave mistake. Will he reclaim his powerful mate, or has he unleashed a force that will burn down everything he knows? Dive into a tale of betrayal, hidden power, and the fiery path to retribution.

The biting morning chill was a familiar companion as Tyler West, still half-asleep, scrambled from her makeshift bed on the cardboard pile. A furious shout ripped through the thin walls of the pack house. “Tyler, if you don’t get your fat ass down here, so help me god I will have to drag you crying and screaming.”

Her heart hammered. It was 8:00 AM, and she’d overslept by three hours. The anniversary of her mother and the Luna’s death always hit hard, and yesterday’s beating had been particularly brutal. She knew the consequences of delay. A quick glance in the cracked mirror confirmed the familiar reflection: the 'ugly and fat' girl everyone saw, the sad girl she’d been her whole life.

After pulling on stolen, ill-fitting clothes and forcing herself to ignore the dull ache in her ribs, she descended the stairs. A stinging slap across her face and a harsh 'Lazy bitch!' were her morning greetings. Without a word, she headed to the kitchen, the familiar scent of stale fear clinging to her, her wolf, usually so vocal, subdued.
