Rejected and Risen

Gift U.O Paranormal

He sent ten men to keep me out of the way.They did more than that.He never came.On the day my mate's first love gave birth to his child, my Alpha made sure I was locked away — contained, forgotten, a problem to deal with later. What happened in that room while he held a newborn that wasn't mine is something he never believed when I told him. He called me a liar. He called me dramatic. He told me I had needed to learn my place.So I left. Not in anger. In something quieter and more permanent than anger. I severed our bond and I walked away, and I never looked back.Six months later, I entered the Beta Trials — the brutal open competition for the Alpha King's right hand. No pack. No sponsor. Nothing but what I had built from the wreckage of everything I used to be.I won.His name is Caine Ashford. He is the most dangerous man in the werewolf world and the first person in my adult life who has ever treated me as an equal. He offered me the Beta position because I earned it. He keeps looking at me like I am something extraordinary — and the terrifying thing is, I am starting to believe him.I had promised myself I was done with wanting things. Done with trusting men who held power over me. Done with the risk of love that could be taken away.But Caine Ashford doesn't take. He waits. And waiting, I'm learning, is its own kind of devastating.Meanwhile, my ex-mate's world is falling apart without my help. His first love's illness was a lie. His pack turned against him. He came looking for me.He found out who I'd become.
