He was her mate, but he was in love with someone else. When a rogue collapses on his border, Alpha Ragnar prepares to end her without a second thought, but then he feels it. The bond, she’s his. Instead of claiming her, he rejects her. Instead of killing her, he locks her away hidden from the world hidden from the truth. All because Ragnar has already given his heart to another: Hannah, his best friend since childhood. The one who was never his mate…the one fated to his beta’s. Kendrick.   Now Noelani lies behind closed doors, broken but breathing, healing, watching, waiting. When the truth claws its way into the light. She won’t be the same girl he rejected. He rejected her.  She refused to break.
