The Alpha’s Rejected Mate

And he looked her straight in the eyes — and pretended not to know her.

Paula Kristi has spent ten years building herself into someone who doesn’t need anyone. Sharp. Controlled. Untouchable. She survived the war. She survived losing her mate. She survived the kind of grief that doesn’t have a name because no one expects you to mourn someone the world says died a hero.

She was good at surviving.

Until Salvatore Powell walked into her office as her new director — alive, breathtaking, and completely, devastatingly indifferent.
No recognition. No reaction. Nothing.

Just a handshake and a polite smile aimed at a woman he once held like she was the only real thing in the world.

Paula has two choices. Fall apart. Or find out why.
She chooses the only thing she’s ever been good at.
The truth.

But the closer she gets, the more dangerous everything becomes. Because Salvatore isn’t just hiding from her. He’s hidingforher. And the secret buried beneath his silence is bigger, darker, and more devastating than a decade of grief ever was.

The Alpha’s Rejected Mate is a pulse-pounding paranormal romance about a love that refused to die, a lie built to protect it, and two broken people who have to decide if what survives ten years of silence is still worth fighting for.

Some bonds don’t break. They just wait.
