The Alpha's Secretly Powerful Rejected Mate

I was the secret, wolfless mate of Aries Monroe, the powerful Alpha of the Monroe Pack.

But one night, I answered his phone and heard his mistress, Isla, triumphantly announce she was pregnant with his child.

When Aries found out, he didn't show an ounce of guilt. Instead, he formally rejected me, severing our sacred bond and leaving my soul in agony.

His mother even came to humiliate me, demanding I pack my bags to make room for his new Luna.

The next day, Isla came to my apartment to gloat. I was so sick with grief that I threw up on her dress, and she suddenly collapsed in a pool of blood, miscarrying her baby.

Aries burst through the door, choking me against the wall.

"You were jealous, so you decided to kill her child?"

He threw me in a detention cell and threatened me with a Pack trial for attempted murder unless I publicly apologized to his mistress.

He had seen the security footage. He knew I never touched her.

Yet he chose to frame his own fated mate just to give the woman he loved a perfect scapegoat.

My heart completely died in that cold cell.

I looked at the Rejection papers he forced upon me and agreed to go to the Healer's wing.

But I wasn't going to surrender. I had just accepted a top-tier cybersecurity job, and my "apology" was going to be the performance of a lifetime.
