Rejected by My Alpha Mate; Nyra's Awakening

Nyra has spent her whole life being treated as the pack's failure. Branded wolfless and defective, she counts down the days until her eighteenth birthday, determined to leave Moon-Crest behind forever. Instead, fate gives her the one thing she never wanted. The Moon Goddess marks Adrian Blackwood as her mate—the future Alpha, her sister's boyfriend, and the same boy who's made her life miserable for years. Now they're trapped in a bond neither of them asked for, forced to live under the same roof while Adrian constantly reminds Nyra that she'll never take her sister's place. But the longer they fight the bond, the harder it becomes to ignore it. As they struggle through life at Moon-Crest Academy, hatred slowly gives way to an attraction neither of them can control. What begins as an unwanted mate bond soon grows into something far stronger—and far more dangerous—than either of them ever expected. *This is an 18+ paranormal romance featuring enemies-to-lovers, fated mates, emotional tension, and mature themes.*
