He rejected her. It should have killed them both. Now he’ll grovel for eternity to win back the mate he destroyed. Six
months ago, wolf shifter Mira Cain was publicly rejected by Alpha Thorne Ashgate—the man fate chose as her destined mate. Cast out, broken, and left to die from the severed bond, she’s clawed her way back from the edge. Now she fights in blood-soaked rings, barely surviving each night, her wolf fractured and her healing gift shattered. She’s learned to live with the constant ache of a bond torn in half. She never expected him to come back. She definitely didn’t expect him to need her to survive.
When Thorne discovers their rejection triggered an ancient curse—one that’s killing them both—he kidnaps Mira to a remote cabin with one desperate goal: convince her to feed the parasitic bond through blood, breath, and scorching intimacy before they both die. But Mira swore a blood oath to kill him if he ever touched her again. And she meant every word.
The curse demands they share everything. She’d rather let them both burn.
Thorne knows he deserves her rage. Deserves her hatred. He rejected his fated mate to protect his pack, choosing duty over the woman who was his entire world. It was the worst mistake of his life. Now he has three weeks to grovel his way back into her shattered heart, prove his love is real, and complete the bond that will chain them together forever—or watch them both die.
But Mira’s been surviving on fury and spite for six months. She’s not the soft, trusting woman he destroyed. She’s deadly, damaged, and determined to make him suffer for every day she spent broken and alone. If he wants her willing surrender, he’ll have to earn it. On his knees. Bleeding. Begging.
The rejected mate romance intensifies with every feeding. The curse won’t wait. And enemies are closing in—determined to ensure the ancestral bond never completes.
Trapped together in forced proximity, they must navigate a dangerous dance of hate and hunger, fury and need. Each feeding draws them closer, weaving the bond tighter, until Mira can’t tell where her desire ends and the curse begins. Thorne will submit to anything—her rage, her revenge, her demands—if it means keeping her alive.
But can a bond shattered by rejection ever truly be remade? Can love survive when trust has been destroyed? And when the final feeding demands complete surrender—body, heart, and soul—will Mira choose the mate who broke her, or will she let them both die rather than forgive the unforgivable?
