When Millie is dragged home by her Alpha mate after five years on the run, she's determined to make his life unbearable. But fighting the desire in her heart and body proves more difficult than expected. Season 1 of The Alpha's Rejection *** At the tender age of fifteen, Millie is rejected by her mate. Refusing to beg for his acceptance, she runs away the night Alpha Leander ascends to his position.

Millie quickly finds herself trapped in Leander's pack, but that's the least of her worries. Many things have changed since she last saw Leander.

Between forced proximity, clashes of wills, jealousy and desire, and the suspicion that there was more to the rejection than meets the eye, Millie is in over her head. Fate brought them together, but will it be enough to overcome the hurt of the past and the tension of the present?
