Born without a scent, Jennie Voss is the Blackwood Pack's invisible outcast-beautiful, broken, alone. On her 18th birthday, a single glance from returning Alpha heir Kai Blackstone sparks an inexplicable mate bond. He feels fate's pull... but smells nothing. Deeming her too weak, he chooses another as Luna. Defiant, Jennie rejects him first and flees, awakening ancient Veiled Wolf powers: shadow control, illusions, eternal scentlessness. Five years later, she returns-stronger, with secret twins bearing her silver-white beauty and Kai's blood-to save the pack from looming darkness. Kai's obsession reignites, feral and desperate. He'll grovel and fight to reclaim her, but Jennie is done being broken. She is the Unscentable Luna. This time, she chooses her own fate. Rejected mates ✓ Secret babies ✓ Possessive grovel ✓ Veiled queen's rise

Born with one milky white eye and wolfless, Ethel Carpentier was raised to do one thing: serve her younger sister Liana, and suffer the consequences if she dared to wish for more. Though Ethel is the eldest daughter of the Alpha of the Wild Blossom Pack, she is treated either as invisible or as an outcast by her sister, father, and most of her fellow pack members. When Alpha Regan Griffiths of the vastly superior Black Sun Pack arrives to fulfill an agreement, that involves taking Liana as his mate and Luna, Ethel only expects life to get worse for her. But when the unexpected happens, it sets off a series of events that neither Regan nor Ethel thought would occur to them. (Warning for mentions of abuse)

Sage has lived her entire life sheltered inside the Borderlands, free from any mythical creatures. Taught to hate their very existence, Sage has never considered the possibility that she has a mate. She doesn't even know what that means. However, all that changes when one of her good friends drags her outside the Border for a night of fun. Only, fun soon turns to turmoil when Sage realizes that her sheltered life will never go back to how it was before the notorious Theo Sloan claimed her as his.

_A broken wolf_ I have longed for a mate and yearned for love. Maybe my parents loved me, but I have no memory of either of them. My aunt never cared about me and I don't know why she even bothered raising me in the first place. I have faced terrible beatings and abuse by my aunt. My memories were taken away whenever I witnessed something I shouldn't. I was broken. I didn't think I could be broken down more. Until I was mated to the future Alpha of the Shadow Pack. The Pack's playboy with a new girl in his bed almost every week. I thought he'd change and see me for who I am and not just someone he's forced to be with. But he didn't so I ran away, leaving the werewolf world behind and entering a new one. _The Alpha_ Growing up, I thought I had everything, but there was always something missing. The day she left ruined me inside. I searched for her endlessly, until I found her five years later. She was broken, something I realized was mine to fix, including the damage I caused as well. But things happened at the wrong time. I declared war with the other purebloods who wanted hybrids dead. A war she wanted nothing to do with. She never wanted this life and yet I forced her back into it. I killed the Dark Alpha, slowly trying to tear his empire apart throughout my miserable years. After everything, I just wanted her to be mine again and I prayed that's what I get once everything was over.

"Well," I say, throwing my hands up, "I'm drunk. I'm tired. I'm wearing a dress that's cutting into my ribs. And I smell like club lighting and regret. So unless this bond of yours also comes with a shower and a bottle of water, I'm out." She was sunlight in a world of claws and power. He was a war-forged alpha, possessive and feared. Isla never wanted a mate. She was happy skipping class, stealing sunshine, and ignoring the shadows of the werewolf-ruled world around her. Her powerful family let her live freely, as long as she stayed in line. But everything changes the night the infamous war alpha steps into her city. And claims her. He's dangerous. Ready for a battle. And he doesn't take no for an answer. But Isla isn't a girl you can keep in a cage. Even if fate says she's his.

No one can outrun fate, and love often arrives as an uninvited guest, a quiet visitor in the midst of chaos. Where others cling to vengeance, she has chosen peace; while some seek power, she finds strength in family. He is a figure once feared-ruthless, cunning, and powerful, a former king of the underworld now seeking redemption within the tangled web of politics, a place as dangerous as his past. She, resilient and breathtakingly gifted, has turned tragedy into purpose, using her healing touch to save lives after losing her own family to violence. Their worlds couldn't be more different-one, a storm of shadows, the other, a refuge of light. Yet, in a world fraught with contradictions, they've found each other. Together, they are both the calm and the chaos, the fire and the water, soulmates bound by fate even as the world conspires to keep them apart.

"I, Alpha Dylan Langley, Alpha of the waterside pack Reject you, Esme West pack member of waterside west to be my mate and Luna" On Esme's 18th birthday she figured that the Alpha of the pack was her true mate which meant she would be Luna to the waterside pack. She felt the mate bond breaking and it hurt so much. She didn't know if she was string enough to handle the rejection completely. She was holding back her tears to show him no weakness and no emotion towards his rejection. "I, Esme West of the waterside pack accept your rejection to be your mate and Luna of this pack" I turn towards the entrance of the pack gates and slowly walk towards our home where my brother is waiting for me, I didn't want to cry. I heard of the tales of the rejection and the pain it causes to fated mates but I never thought I would be rejected, I especially didn't think the moon goddess would have the Alpha to be my mate. I'm a nothing but a lowly omega. I work for nothing and I am the packs punching bag. Especially the queen be herself who has always wanted Alpha Dylan to be her mate...Adeline carter... Some Wolf's who have been rejected have often left the pack but have not managed to find a new pack who is willing to take them in within the time frame off 2 weeks and they are automatically classed as rogues. Rogues are wolfs who have no packs, some are nice but the thing's I have heard some rogues will kill to get what and where they want to be in the chain. Having a fated was was like finding your other piece to the jigsaw and the tales of it was phenomenal, true love at its finest. My mom and dad are fated mates and they look like they're 18 all over again and fining each other and falling in love over and over. It's rare to get a 2nd chance mate. Can Esme find her second chance mate and find her way out of waterside pack for good or will she be chained to this place forever?

⚠️THIS STORY IS OLD. IT ISN'T VERY GOOD. THE OTHER BOOK IS BETTER⚠️ Adeline was a good kid. She worked hard, took care of herself, and didn't let anybody push her around. At least that's what the kids at school thought. But, like most people, she had secrets. Things nobody knew about her. Nobody knew her mother and stepfather hated her. Nobody knew she lived alone with her best friend. Nobody knew that, outside of school, she was a totally different person. Nobody knew what she had been through, and all the things that left her shattered. This is how she lived her life. This is the only life she had ever known. But what would happen if all of that changed? Could one school lecture, a mishap at the courthouse, and a DNA test change her life forever? For the better or for the worst, Adeline's life is about to change. And for once in her life, she might not have to keep so many secrets. ********************************* Started: 6/18/2022 Finished: 7/29/2022 © 2022 Taylor Sassone Cover by my awesome sister @owlhootsburger13
