About this ebook

Eyes down, little wolf.

In her world, the strong were broken young or they didn’t survive. Eyes down, little wolf, Zee’s father would say. You aren’t strong enough yet.

Zennia Day kept her eyes down and stayed quiet, knowing that one day, she’d escape.

When her chance comes, she finds herself on a road that takes her far from Massachusetts, all the way to North Carolina.

She has her eyes on the future…until she meets Niko, a dominant Therian male and future Prime. When she looks at him, instead of a challenge for dominance, Zee sees a promise of forever.

Niko charmed her, teased her…and stole her heart. Mere days later, after making a public, permanent claim, he crushed that same heart in his fist, tossing her aside in front of the entire world and casting her out of pack lands.

Ten years later, she's an outcast, living far from her own when she gets word her father is dying.

She can do nothing—she was banned. Violating Niko’s order was to court punishment, even if it was just to tell her father good-bye.

“Day is dying.”

The blunt words almost had him on his knees until Niko realized his second-in-command wasn’t talking about Zee, but her father.

No Therian is ever left to die alone, so Niko sent orders the Day family to come home.

Niko is unprepared for Zee’s message. I have no pack. I have no home.

The words leave him shattered.

Realizing what he’d done in his rage, Niko pushes harder for answers. It doesn’t take long to discover that what he’d heard a decade earlier had been based on lies. Because of those lies, he’d thrown away the love of his life.

Zee’s been paying the price ever since.

Now he must mend a heart he’d broken...and convince her to give him one more chance.

Ratings and reviews

One of my favorite tropes is rejected mates, but there are only so many of them around. The minute I saw this, I JUMPED for it. Was so excited to dive in and I was NOT disappointed. The story opens 10 years after Niko has rejected Zee and she is off, isolated from pack, trying to live without them. Circumstances arise that put them back into contact and from there the story really begins. I love the world created here, and how complex and layered not only this story was, but all the characters were. I loved Zee's brothers and Niko's packmates and can't wait to read more in this series. This book has a lot of angst, but also a lot of steam and was everything I would want in a shifter, rejected mate book. I definitely would add this to the top of your TBR pile and I'm sure this will wind up being a re-read for me in the future! Thank you to NetGalley and the Independent Publishers Group for the Advance Review Copy. I have voluntarily left an honest review.

This story was reminiscent to me of Lora Leigh’s The Breeds series. In the way that it held my interest, and intrigue, in it’s grasp. Every chance I got to read, this story took over all thoughts. I was flipping page after page, reading chapter after chapter. I love when a book does that to me, because that’s when I know it was a great read. I was given a copy of this book for my honest review, and this is my opinion.
