Publisher's Synopsis
The pack had cast them out, deeming them unworthy of their bloodline, their traditions, their name. To be a werewolf without a pack was a fate worse than death-alone in a world that feared and hunted their kind. Branded a reject, they were left to wander the fringes of society, struggling to survive in the shadows.
But rejection didn't break them. It forged them. The loneliness, the hunger, and the constant danger hardened their spirit and sharpened their instincts. The world outside the pack was unforgiving, yet it offered a freedom they had never known-a chance to carve their own path, unbound by the rigid laws of the pack that had discarded them.
The beginning was brutal. Nights were spent fighting for scraps, running from hunters, and wrestling with the beast inside that threatened to consume them. They didn't have a mentor to guide them or a family to lean on-only the moon to light their way and the sheer will to keep going.
As time passed, they began to find strength in their solitude. They learned to embrace the wolf within, to channel its power without losing themselves to its rage. The forest became their home, the wind their companion, and the stars their silent witnesses. Every scar they earned became a testament to their survival, a badge of defiance against a world that had tried to break them.
But fate has a way of finding those who think they are lost. One fateful night, they stumble upon others-outcasts, loners, and misfits-who see in them not a reject, but a leader. Together, they begin to form a new kind of pack, one built not on bloodlines but on loyalty and shared pain.
A reject's beginning is not the end of their story. It is the spark that ignites their journey, a testament to the strength found in being broken and rebuilt. And as the first howl of their newfound pack pierces the night, they realize that rejection was never their curse-it was their liberation.
