Rejected For My Sister, Claimed by The North Alpha

Annika Douglas has spent her whole life being the dependable daughter, the capable future Luna, and the woman everyone assumes can survive whatever they ask her to endure.

She never expects that strength to become the reason her own family sacrifices her.

When Cascade Vale Alpha Kenneth Carrillo publicly rejects their mate Recognition and chooses Annika’s younger sister instead, everyone insists there is a good reason. Elisabeth’s unstable wolf needs an Alpha tether. The pack needs stability. Annika will recover.

But Annika refuses to stand quietly while the people she loves decide that her heart, her future, and her consent are acceptable prices to pay.

She runs.

Across the Cedarline River waits Northwatch territory and Derek Jarvis, the powerful North Alpha whose pack has every reason to distrust a woman from the South. When Annika’s former pack comes after her, Derek invokes an ancient border law and places a permanent protective mark on her.

The mark keeps Cascade Vale from taking her back.

It also ties Annika to a dangerous Alpha she barely knows.

Derek is controlled, fiercely protective, and determined not to become another man who confuses keeping Annika safe with owning her. Yet the attraction growing between them is impossible to ignore, especially when wolf instinct begins complicating choices neither of them is willing to surrender.

Caught between sister betrayal, pack politics, a rejected mate bond, and a rival Alpha who may become far more than her protector, Annika must decide what belonging means when she is finally allowed to choose it for herself.

Rejected for My Sister, Claimed by the North Alpha is a high-angst rejected-mate wolf-shifter romance packed with family betrayal, protective Alpha tension, forced proximity, pack conflict, and a heroine who refuses to be anyone’s sacrifice.
