Same Difference Mate Rejection

When the blood moon rises over West Ridge, Nova Reyes finally feels the one thing she's spent her whole life craving—a mate bond snapping into place. It lasts less than a minute. In front of the entire pack, Beta golden boy Kade Lawson rejects her like she's nothing. By the time the Elders chain them into a "trial bond" to protect their precious laws, the damage is done. Nova's heart is wrecked, her wolf is screaming, and every hallway in their high school feels like a trap. When Kade's plan to quietly dump her outside town goes wrong and hunters attack, Nova is saved by Grimstreet—a rogue pack that lives above the law in abandoned warehouses and on city rooftops. To stay with them, she has to fight, climb, bleed, and cut ties with the life that threw her away. But the hunters weren't just after any wolf. Files surface with Nova's name at the top, marked as both a threat and an asset. Someone powerful has been selling information about her for years—and Kade's old pack might be part of the deal. Now Nova has a choice: stay the broken girl her mate didn't want, or become the white wolf the city never saw coming.
