Rejected Fate Trilogy Book 1: Betrayed Mate by Jen L. Grey

 

Rejected Fate Trilogy Book 1

My fated mate betrayed me, leaving me broken and alone.

As the future second-in-command of my pack, my destiny was clear—until the leader of a rival pack rejected our bond, shattering my heart and destroying my world.

But his cruelty didn’t stop there. He unleashed a brutal attack, slaughtering everyone I loved.

Barely escaping with my sister, we were hunted, wounded, and desperate. Swept into a raging river, I thought death was inevitable—until Ryker, a dangerously sexy shifter cloaked in shadows, pulled me from the water.

Ryker isn’t my savior. He plans to leave me broken and vulnerable, but his pack intervenes, offering protection and a promise to help me find my sister. Yet Ryker’s ruthless nature and untamed power terrify me as much as they captivate me.

As secrets unravel and our connection deepens, I realize our bond could destroy us.

To survive, I must risk everything, including my heart, and do the one thing I swore I never would—trust Ryker, even if it means confronting the darkness within us both.

Betrayed Mate is a fated mates wolf shifter romance that includes betrayal, morally gray characters, who did this to you, touch her and unalive, secret heritage, and found family tropes. One-click this story today.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

Ember is resolved to help her pack by marrying the future alpha of a rival pack. They are fated mates after all. Or are they? The pull she feels for him is there but something about it doesn’t feel quite right. But maybe she just doesn’t know any better. However, everything becomes moot when the alpha rejects her in front of everyone. And not long after her pack is attacked. Everyone except her and her sister escape. But in the chaos, she loses her sister in the river they are both pulled in and unconscious shortly after. Ember wakes up to Ryker. Ryker who is an alpha of three others after their own pack was killed and the royal family they were guarding were killed as well. Ryker and his pack have been searching for those responsible and with Ember’s help, they just might finally figure it out. But Ember has to find her sister too. They’ll have to grudgingly work together to do so and survive those who wish to stop them. The beginning of what I expect to be another interesting shifter series! And seems we have a bit of a slow burn between Ryker and Ember. There is definitely a pull between them and I’m eager to see where it goes! And with that cliffhanger? I’ll definitely need the next book asap!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
