REJECTED MATE OF THE LYCAN KING She didn't fight the rejection. She built a case. When the Lycan King's advisors decided a fated bond was politically inconvenient, Bond Auditor Senna Vale did what she always does: followed the law. Accepted the ritual. Walked away. She didn't know the elder had been paid to falsify the completion record. She didn't know the bond was never severed. Fourteen months later, the Concordat assigns her to audit the king's new political bond — and her own instruments tell her the truth the registry has been hiding. Now she's losing her wolf to a suppression that shouldn't exist, racing a permanence deadline that will seal the falsification forever, and conducting the most dangerous audit of her career across a Truth Floor where neither of them can lie. She has one weapon: the law itself. REJECTED MATE OF THE LYCAN KING is a slow-burn paranormal romance for readers who want their fated mates to earn it. Senna doesn't wait to be rescued. She builds the evidence. She files the motion. She makes the system answer. The king is only beginning to understand what he gave up — and what it will cost him to deserve what she built. Slow burn. High stakes. Guaranteed HEA.
