In the heart of the Rolling Woods Pack, Hazel Wren is tired. Tired of her packmates ignoring her, tired of being her parent's second-favorite, and tired of her golden-child sister's cruelty. Despite being one of the most competent and qualified Archivist's in the wolf-shifter community, Hazel is lonely. After feeling like the unwanted second-choice her whole life, Hazel is ready for her mate to choose her. But when her mate unexpectedly rejects her, Hazel's whole life turns upside down. Just as despair begins to consume her, a chance encounter with a mysterious Lycan with stormy gray eyes sparks a flicker of hope. _______________________________________________________________________________ This is NOT your typical rejection story. The main character will not fall into her love interest's arms within the first chapter (although she eventually does). This is a bit of a SLOW BURN. This is about Hazel's story and how she gains the confidence to love and be herself. If you have ever felt like you are unwanted, that you have hit your lowest low, and you don't know how to keep going, maybe Hazel's story will help you feel seen. Enjoy!!
