I was nothing more than a convenience to the pack-an invisible worker pulling night shifts to pay off debt that wasn't even mine. A mixed-blood wolf with no rank, no protection, and no future. Then my mate found me. Ji-hoon, the Alpha's heir, didn't look relieved when the bond snapped into place. He looked trapped. I was wrong for his image, wrong for his bloodline, wrong for his plans. Loving me would cost him everything.
So he rejected me. Cast out and broken, I tried to survive in a world that had already decided I was disposable. But fate doesn't cut bonds cleanly-and regret has a way of sinking its claws deep. As power shifts and secrets surface, the man who rejected me begins to realize too late what he lost. Because rejecting a mate doesn't erase the bond. It only turns love into something far more dangerous.
