Shadow Legacies

Being alpha-born means walking a path that's already been laid out for me, with a mate I don't get to choose. On a Lycan's 21st birthday, we are fated to find our true mate. Only, I don't want one. I'm not ready yet. I want to travel and see the world, but I can't do that, either. When our world comes under attack from a foe we thought long vanquished, everything I thought I knew gets flipped upside down. With nowhere to turn after my mate rejects me, feeling suffocated by my own skin, I leave my pack to try and find myself...but get found instead.

I used to want nothing more than to escape my destiny. Except escaping wasn’t an option. The fates are a cruel mistress, and running got me nowhere. Rejected. Tormented. Betrayed. With my world under attack from someone I considered family and the one person I thought hated me most standing by me, my entire world is upside down. The pain of rejection was nothing compared to the pain of betrayal. I wanted a choice, and the fates obliged. Fight to reclaim what is meant to be mine or lose everything I never knew I wanted.
