Denied Not Rejected (Werewolf)
For Calla Frost, being the daughter of a powerful Alpha is both a blessing and a curse. As the heir to the Northwind Pack, she's been trained her entire life to lead, to command, and to protect her people. But there's one thing she's never been able to control: her own heart. Her fated mate, the one she's supposed to bond with for life, has been right in front of her all along-and yet, he's the one man who has denied her.
Darian Blackstone is the fiercely independent Beta of the Northwind Pack. He's strong, loyal, and unwavering in his duty, but he harbors a deep secret: he cannot claim Calla as his own. The very thought of binding himself to her, the future Alpha, fills him with conflicting emotions. He's been in love with her since they were pups, but his loyalty to her father, his pack, and his own hidden past forces him to hold back. To claim her would mean facing the truth of his own heart-and his own demons.
When Calla's father, Alpha Magnus Frost, is critically injured in a rogue attack, the weight of leadership falls squarely on her shoulders. With Darian's help, she must guide the pack through a time of great uncertainty, all while trying to prove to herself and others that she is capable of leading. But as the pressure mounts and enemies close in, the undeniable chemistry between her and Darian becomes harder to ignore.
However, Calla isn't the only one with a complicated heart. As their bond grows stronger, Darian's past resurfaces-dark secrets that could tear them apart. Their love, denied for so long, is now the very thing that could either save or destroy them.
When a rival pack threatens to overthrow the Northwind leadership, Calla and Darian must come together to protect their pack, their future, and the fragile love they've tried to suppress for so long. In the end, Darian must decide if he will finally claim Calla as his Luna, or if he will deny his fate forever.
Denied Not Rejected is a passionate, intense werewolf romance about loyalty, sacrifice, and the fight for love against all odds. Can Darian overcome his fears and claim the woman he loves, or will the weight of their destinies tear them apart forever?
