I thought I had time to get my life in order before I found my mates, but they found me first. My first heat is everything it could have been, except for afterwards? It turns out the pack that is fated to be mine have already taken a mate, and she doesn't want me anywhere near them. Once I realize that I have no hope of mating into the pack meant to be mine, there's only one place that will accept me.I spend time at the shelter learning all about the men I could never hope to attract, and when I bring their little girl into the world, she's enough for me to forgive them for destroying me. When they come crawling back, will their pack have anything to offer me but lies? less

Trying to fix myself, I allowed Jace to claim me. Does it count though, if you do your best to convince yourselves it's a dream? I was hoping that would be a fresh start for us, because I'm getting closer to his packmates, but...for being fated, it's awfully hard to stay together... moreTrying to fix myself, I allowed Jace to claim me.

So why is it so hard for us to get this last step right?This is part two of a duology, and does include a HEA.

They want me just fine, as long as I continue to make them money and know my station.Technically, they rejected me, and pathetic as it is, being around them daily helps to fill the hole they made in me the day they sentenced me to a life at the shelter for rejected wolves. Or maybe being around them only keeps the hole open. Not sure which is true anymore... more*Release date will be moved up*Dance for us...It's not that my mates don't want me, it's that don't want me to be happy.

Or maybe being around them only keeps the hole open. Not sure which is true anymore.At first I stayed because they told me that if I didn't dance at their club, I'd never see my son again. Then my son grew, and as he did, he learned to hate me as well. Sometimes I see glimpses of the sweet boy that wanted nobody but his mom, but more often than not these days, I only see him when he needs money, or a way to blow of steam.I thougth this was how I would spend the rest of my life, but I never accounted for the triplet sons of the alpha befriending my son and walking into my club. The second they saw me, it was game over.For my mates.This is a rejected mates story where there is no second chance. Things are too broken, and sometimes the mates are irredeemable. You can look forward to a reverse age gap, and single dad triplet brothers that will go to any extreme to protect the woman they know they deserve after they've already been to hell and back with their own mate. Trigger warnings include violence between males that want to protect our heroine and those that would hurt her, and emotional/physical abuse, though never by her chosen romantic partners.This is the fourth book in the rejected mates of the shelter series, and while this is a standalone, reading the other ones first will make it so much better <3 less
