Forsaken by the Alpha Lord

He felt the bond the moment he saw her—and still chose the crown.

Before the entire court, he rejected the woman fate named his mate.

He never expected her absence to become his undoing. On the night of his coronation, the Alpha Lord makes a ruthless decision: secure his throne through political alliance and discard the fated bond meant to define him. Isolde is publicly forsaken, stripped of status, protection, and future, reduced to a mistake the kingdom agrees to forget. Exile does not break her—it remakes her. Far from pack lands and royal laws, Isolde rebuilds herself as a powerful, respected healer, independent and unclaimable. She learns that worth is not granted by crowns or bonds, and strength does not require permission. Seven years later, the consequences of rejection return. The bond was never sealed—and the realm is fracturing because of it. Forced to face the woman he abandoned, the Alpha Lord finally understands the true cost of his choice. His regret is real. His power means nothing without her consent. When fate demands a final reckoning, Isolde must decide: sever the bond forever and walk away sovereign and free—or claim it on her own terms, knowing the Alpha may lose his crown, his allies, and everything he once chose over her. A powerful rejected-mate romance filled with slow-burn tension, earned redemption, political intrigue, and a heroine who refuses to be a second choice. If you love strong heroines, Alpha regret, royal stakes, and fated bonds tested by choice, this book is for you.
