Rejected by the Alpha King : An Enemies-to-Lovers Werewolf Romance

Five years ago, he broke her heart. Now, he needs her to save his kingdom. When Alpha King Lucien Blackfang publicly rejected Seraphine Vale as his mate, he shattered more than her heart—he destroyed her faith in destiny itself. Exiled and humiliated, Seraphine discovered her rare witch-wolf heritage and built a sanctuary for the broken and forgotten. Now a deadly plague threatens to annihilate every werewolf pack in existence, and the ancient prophecies speak of only one cure: the union of the very mates Lucien cast aside. Desperate, the ruthless king who once called her "unworthy" now kneels before the woman he destroyed, begging for her help. But Seraphine is no longer the naive girl who believed in fairy tale endings. She's a powerful leader who's learned that love is a luxury she can't afford—especially not with the man who taught her that lesson. Forced into an uneasy alliance, they must venture into cursed lands where magic runs wild and old secrets surface. Every touch reignites the mate bond that still burns between them. Every argument reopens wounds that never healed. And when they discover that Lucien's rejection was orchestrated by dark magic, Seraphine faces an impossible choice: Forgive the man who destroyed her, or let the world burn for his sins. In a realm where love can save kingdoms or damn them, some bonds are worth fighting for—even if they kill you.
