Rejected by her mate at sunrise. Claimed by another before sunset. Zari Virelle thought meeting her fated mate would change her life. She was right. She just didn’t expect it to destroy her. When Alpha Kallen Draeven publicly rejects her in front of the entire pack, Zari is left humiliated, broken, and cast out like she is nothing. But fate isn’t finished with her yet. Because before the day ends, she is taken by the most feared Alpha in the werewolf world— Vaerik Noctryss. The enemy king. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable. And the moment he sees her, he makes one thing clear: She belongs to him. But Zari refuses to be claimed again. She refuses to break twice. Yet the deeper she is pulled into Vaerik’s dangerous world, the more terrifying the truth becomes… Zari is not just a rejected wolf. She is something powerful. Something rare. Something both Alphas may be willing to go to war for. And this time— Zari won’t be the one who gets left behind.
