The Heir Apparent's Rejected Mate

The Five Packs, Book 2

By: Cate C. Wells

Narrated by: Silas Hart, Elle Sonali

He rejected me for “reasons”. Too bad for him. No take-backs.

Rosie

Fate made a huge mistake when she mated me to Cadoc Collins. He’s the heir apparent. I’m a scavenger. My people are so low in this pack, we don’t even rank.

I should have known better, but for one night, I let myself forget the facts of life in Moon Lake. Cadoc Collins might be powerless to resist me, but he’s not going to claim me, either.

A pink line on a stick makes it a much bigger problem than my bruised heart.

I’m 18, knocked up, and publicly rejected by the future alpha. And this baby in my belly? It might as well be a target on my back.

Lucky for me I’m a scavenger. My kind are good at finding things, but we’re great at getting lost.

Cadoc

The fate of Moon Lake rests on my shoulders. I can’t claim the scavenger female.

The pack is on the verge of a revolt, and a mating so controversial could push our warring factions into open conflict.

All I need is time. I’ll do what’s expected of me as our future leader, and when the politics are sorted, I’ll do right by the odd little scavenger.

I’m the heir apparent. She’ll be there when I’m ready.

Right?

The Heir Apparent’s Rejected Mate is a wolf-shifter romance. No cheating. HEA guaranteed. Intended for adult listeners only.

The story line

I thought the book started out slower than I like but as the story went on, it became interesting

Love this one!

I loved this story! I really was taken on an adventure with Rosie. I was easily able to empathize with her on all things as I got to know her. While her life is tough it is a good one. My favorite part of is when Mr Collins shows up at her trailer after a talking down by the witch. I really grew to like him at that point.

There are quite a few secondary characters and I really enjoyed them all. Some we know from the previous book and others are new. This could be listened to as a stand alone easily but the first book is just as good as I would grab that one first.

Narration is done by Silas Hart and Elle Sonall. Both are new to me and I really enjoyed their vocals for these characters.

WONDERFUL

loved it listened many times The narrators were very good did a great job

Slow burning YA shifter romance

I truly enjoyed this slow burning YA shifter romance. The pack dynamics and the drama between the different fractions were interesting.

It was fascinating to understand the scavenger way of living with Rosie’s POV. My heart ached for Cadoc. He was burdened with responsibility and politics from birth. Their fated mating was a surprise for both of them. I was glad that they could overcome all of the obstacles cause by others’ expectations and pressure.

The narration was excellent resulting an enjoyable listening experience.

Growing up

Cadoc Collins is a alpha in training his father is sick
and is dying but his reign as Alpha can end even before it begins if he is challenged. Rosie has never felt like she belonged with the different packs and how they are treated but when she js rejected after she is pregnant she runs and he comes for her. This is about these young people growing up and making decisions that affects lots of people that will affect lots of lives . Great performance from Silas and Elle on bringing these characters to life.
