The Tyrant Alpha's Rejected Mate

Una Hayes lives quietly in the Quarry pack, a werewolf community where females rank low and her bad leg marks her as damaged goods. She has never shifted. With her roommates, she runs a farmer's market business the pack would not approve of.

Then her biology finally catches up, and she identifies the pack alpha, Killian Kelly, as her mate. He turns her down in front of everyone.

Killian has pulled the pack out of its old ways by being hard and merciless, and he does not make mistakes. He tells himself Una cannot be his mate, whatever his wolf insists. Even so, he keeps seeking her out, and she stays on his mind.

The story alternates between their two points of view. It is a wolf shifter romance for adult readers, the first in the Five Packs series, with no cheating and a happily ever after promised. The question driving it is whether a man who never admits error can stand being wrong about her.
