"You are nothing more than a broken, useless burden. I, Alpha Kaelen, reject you as my mate." On the night of her awakening, Elena Stone suffered the ultimate humiliation. Rejected by her destined Alpha, stripped of her status, and cast out into the freezing wilderness to die, she was left with nothing but her bleeding heart and a burning desire for vengeance. Everyone thought she was dead. But three years later, a mysterious, untouchable beauty returns to the Royal Court—wielding ancient powers that even the strongest Alphas fear. Kaelen thought he had discarded a weakling. Now, his wolf howls in agony as the mate bond violently backlashes, and the woman who once begged for his love walks past him like a total stranger. He wants her back. But Elena has only one rule: Some bridges aren't meant to be rebuilt, and some kings deserve to fall.
