REJECTED BY MY ALPHA, CHOSEN BY THE LYCAN KING

Aria Nightshade was born to be rejected. Or so everyone believed.
For eighteen years, Aria has lived as the weakest and most unwanted girl in Blackwood Pack. An orphan with no known family and a wolf that refuses to awaken, she has endured humiliation, cruelty, and endless reminders that she will never be good enough.
Then, on her eighteenth birthday, her wolf finally awakens.
And her fated mate is none other than Damon Blackwood—the Alpha's heir.
For the first time, Aria believes fate has finally given her something to hold on to.
Until Damon rejects her.
Publicly.
Heartbroken and humiliated, Aria expects rejection to be the end of her story.
She couldn't be more wrong.
Damon's rejection awakens a power buried deep within her. Her wolf, Lyra, is unlike anything the pack has ever seen, and the mysterious crescent-moon pendant she has carried since childhood begins revealing secrets about her forgotten past.
Then comes the revelation that changes everything.
The legendary Lycan King has found his mate.
Kael Draven is feared by every Alpha and obeyed by every Lycan. Cold, powerful, and untouchable, he never expected his fated mate to be the very girl the werewolf world had discarded.
But Kael's arrival awakens more than romance.
It awakens an ancient bloodline.
As Aria enters the deadly Luna Trials, survives betrayal, and uncovers the truth about her parents, she discovers that her weakness was never natural. Someone deliberately suppressed her wolf—and powerful enemies will kill to ensure she never discovers why.
Now Damon regrets the rejection he once believed was his greatest victory.
Kael is determined to protect the woman fate chose for him.
And Aria must decide whether she will remain the rejected girl everyone remembers—or become the woman powerful enough to make an entire supernatural world kneel.
Because the girl they called worthless was never powerless.
She was simply waiting to awaken.
