Rejected by Wolf, Favored by Vampire

Synopsis

The night of the mating ball, I was stuck serving blood wine by the kitchen's back door of the Wolf Castle. The Silverpine Pack's coming-of-age ceremony was a once-in-a-lifetime event. But me? I could only linger at the back door because I was a half-breed. And also because I was already eighteen and still couldn't shift. When I walked into the Moonlight Hall carrying the silver tray, everyone's attention was locked on the raised dais in the center. Adrian's only son, Lucian, stood at the foot of the dais, dressed in a sleek black suit, his golden hair tied back, looking like a blade forged in moonlight. He was the future Alpha of the Silverpine Pack, and he was the boy I'd been secretly crushing on since I was ten. I never expected he would be my fated mate, and I certainly didn't expect him to reject me. But after I left, he told me he regretted it.
