It was just better not to be looked at. Her mother died in a car accident when she was ten, leaving her father to care for both her and her younger brother Rain, who was seven years younger than her. Only a year ago she had found out her father had cancer, watching as it slowly killed her father right in front of her eyes. To top it off, she was picked on in school all the time.

The Rejected Alpha (Book 1 of the Rejected Series)
I never would wish anyone to lose their mate by rejection nor death. I never would wish this on my greatest enemy or my best friend. I never would wish this on anyone because I knew what it felt like to lose someone that should mean the world to a person. I knew what it was like to survive without a mate, and I couldn't help but pray that no one had to face it inside my pack. I couldn't help but pray to the Goddess for everyone to find the happiness that I had deserved but never had gotten. Unfortunately, my prayers weren't answered when the love of my life, my best friend, and my Alpha was rejected by his mate. And, as I watched as he struggled, I couldn't help but wonder as to who would think to reject an Alpha that deserves the world for putting up with my shit. And, I couldn't help but wonder if he deserves to be called an Alpha without his Luna. _______________________________________ NOTE: IF YOU READ THIS BOOK ON ANY OTHER APP BESIDES WATTPAD THEN IT IS COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.
