The Alpha's Rejected Mate Book Description Lira Ashwood has spent her whole life on the edge of the Emberfall Pack — a quiet, ordinary healer's daughter, or so everyone believes. On the night of the Choosing Moon, she's marked as mate to Kade Draven, the future Alpha of the most powerful pack in the supernatural kingdoms. In front of the entire pack, he rejects her, calling her unworthy of his bloodline. Humiliated and heartbroken, Lira flees into the forbidden Hollow Woods — and survives something that should have killed her. What crawls out of those woods isn't the same woman who walked in. She begins to manifest a power thought extinct for three generations: the Moonfire, a gift tied to an ancient prophecy that could save Kade's crumbling kingdom, or burn it to the ground. Now the Alpha who cast her aside needs her more than anyone alive. Between a rival pack's dangerous courtship, a betrayal close to home, and a war centuries in the making, Lira must decide whether the man who broke her deserves a second chance — or whether she'll claim her power on her own terms, with or without him.
