Reject Me Baby One More Time. Shifter Grove Rogue Wolves, #4

He's the man that tried to kill me. But now he's back and this time he wants my love. CoryI ran away from home when the son of the pack Alpha tried to have me killed. After one night in one another's arms I find myself chased halfway across the state and nearly murdered in the process. But I made it to Shifter Grove alive and I built a new life for myself. And I'm content to never think of it again.
But when I find a half-dead wolf on the side of the road I can't help but take him in. Although I didn't recognize him at first, I quickly realized he's the son of the Alpha. And he still thinks I'm his mate. The rejection was easy and I sent him away. So why won't my heart listen to me? Why do I want this man so badly when I know I can never trust him?LiamI never tried to have Cory killed. I know he doesn't believe me, but that's the truth.
When I told my father that I'd found my mate and he was male, all hell broke loose. After that moment, Cory was out of my life seemingly forever. But I got away. It took me two years, but I did it. When I finally wandered into Shifter Grove at last, I was nearly starved to death. And who should find me but Cory. He doesn't recognize me at first but the truth always finds a way of working its way to the surface.
How do I convince the man of my dreams that I would never hurt him when he won't even talk to me?Tropes: standalone, second chance, fated mate, rejected mate, small town, soft boys, alpha bottom, alpha wolf, found family, strict roles, and HEA.
