Rejecting The Mating Bond Novel

Flora Argentine lives quietly on the outskirts of ReedStone pack society, avoided by most due to her brother's position as beta. She's content with her solitary existence as she approaches her final university year. Clay Scotsman, the future Alpha and town heartthrob, has harbored a long-standing obsession with Flora that he initially dismissed as mere attraction. When he finally pursues her with full force, one taste proves impossible to resist, and what began as desire transforms into something deeper. However, both know they aren't fated mates. As Clay's 28th birthday approaches, the inevitable looms: he will meet his true mate, bound by the Gods' decree. Clay faces an impossible choice—honor the sacred mating bond or reject his destined mate for the woman he truly loves. But when his mate appears and claims him as hers, their carefully built world threatens to shatter completely.
