The Tyrant Alpha's Rejected Mate

The Five Packs, Book 1

De: Cate C. Wells

Narrado por: Paulina Lear, Liam Sanderson

He rejected me, and then he realized I’m the center of his world. Bummer.

Una

I keep my head down. In this backward pack, females rank low, and my bad leg makes me damaged goods. It doesn’t help that I’ve never shifted. I don’t mind the late-20s single life, though. No one’s paying any attention as I build an illicit farmer’s market empire.

My roomies and I are doing it for ourselves, and if life under Killian Kelly is stifling, at least it’s predictable. We can deal.

But when biology finally kicks in, I lose my mind. I claim our alpha as my mate. And he rejects me in front of the whole pack.

It’s all good. It only hurts when I breathe. I’ll survive. That’s what I do.

Who wants an arrogant jerk for a mate, anyway? I’ve got a business to run.

Killian

To lead this pack out of the dark ages, I’ve had to be hard. Merciless. I don’t flinch, and I don’t make mistakes.

Una Hayes isn’t my mate.

My wolf might have some kind of strange infatuation, but if she were mine, I’d know it. And I can walk away, can’t I?

And if I keep coming back? If she starts living in my head?

I’m the strongest male in five generations. My pack scrambles to do my bidding. I can bring one quiet female back in line. No one can possibly be as stubborn as I am.

There’s no way I’ve ruined the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

I’m the Quarry pack alpha. I don’t lose.

The Tyrant Alpha’s Rejected Mate is a full-grown shifter romance. No cheating. HEA guaranteed. Intended for adult listeners only.

Something different

This is pretty outside my normal realm, but I’m a sucker for a rejection romance and the fact that they really shouldn’t work for me.
But oh my goodness, this one really did.
I listened to this on audio and the whole first part, I raged at what an idiot Killian really was.
The second part was just me watching him get it together and work his growly tail off at making Una happy.
I enjoyed the whole thing, even when I didn’t think I would.

Werewolf/shifter romance, rejected mates, so so good!

The Tyrant Alpha’s Rejected Mate is the first book in the Five Packs series by Cate C Wells and I am absolutely obsessed! I had originally not been interested in picking up more from this author after not enjoying their other book (Run Posy Run) but was in the mood for a shifter series and decided to give this a try.

And omg, this book had me hooked just in the first chapter and I can’t wait to read more now! This is a werewolf/shifter series with rejected mates, I had no idea this was a trope or a thing but now I really want to read more.

We meet Una, who is unmated, unprotected, has an injured leg, and has never gone into heat…therefore has never shifted. At 27, she’s way behind going into heat but she can feel her wolf inside her waiting. One day she’s around Killian, alpha of the pack, and realizes he’s her mate and shifts when another female is around him and touching him. She is confused why her wolf would pick him as their mate and even more confused when he pushes her away saying he doesn’t feel the mate bond she’s claiming they have. She’s seen as weak and undesirable, so he can’t believe they’d be paired as mates and rejects/embarrasses Una in front of the whole pack. But I loved how instead of pining for him, she ends up going to a sort of wise woman who is able to “pull” the mate bond away and gets back to her daily life of surviving. Soon after, Killian starts feeling super pulled to Una and becoming super protective. He doesn’t understand why since he’s convinced she’s not his mate! And I loved how he becomes the one trying to earn/win her!

I was just so invested in this and really want to binge the rest of the series now! Apparently I’ve been missing shifter/werewolf romances and need to read more. This pack in particular was super interesting. The Quarry Pack is ruled by strength, not blood, and any male can challenge for rank at any time. Besides having the biggest wolf in the five packs, Killian’s a flip-shifter, meaning he can change from skin to fur and back again whenever he wants, without effort, in the blink of an eye.

Great book

I loved this book. It was sweet and sassy. The story flowed really well And the narration was great

Amazing detail

The person telling the story made you feel like you were really reading the book

Wow this book was incredible!

I’m so glad I decided to give this book a try. I was a bit annoyed with the very beginning but what’s 5 minutes of annoyance for hours of an amazing story performed by incredible narrators.

Good!

This had a really good story and kept me entertained. I enjoyed it , and i will be continuing on in the series

Loved it

I love this book and complete series. It’s one of my favorites shifter authors and narrator’s did a great job

Sweet story

I love the end of the book, the story is about a strong alpha who falls in love with his rejected mate after he discovers she is his real mate and she severed the bond.

Great Listen!

I really enjoyed this take on a werewolf pack. It was a fresh new idea than what I had ever read before. I’m going to download it so I may listen to it later. Definitely a keeper.

Too much inter dialogue.

The story was good and the readers were very good but so much inter dialogue that it was frustrating.
