When Elyse Salvatore’s pack turns on her, accusing her of murdering their beloved warrior leader, she’s left with nothing but rage and a death sentence. Sold to a rogue auction, she’s snatched up by Alpha Kael—a mysterious and feared alpha with a reputation as cold as his piercing gaze. But Kael isn’t just buying a prisoner. He’s chasing a prophecy, and Elyse is tangled in its threads. Now trapped in Kael’s world of glittering mansions and deadly secrets, Elyse has to survive hostile glares from his icy fiancée, Selena, suspicion from his powerful mother, and the gut-wrenching betrayal of her childhood friend, Chloe, who’s sold her soul to the rogue king, Alpha Peter. Worse, Peter’s claws are everywhere. He’s taken over her old pack, slaughtered their leaders, and wants Elyse dead—or worse, under his control. As sparks fly between Elyse and Kael, they uncover a web of lies: Scott’s death was no accident, Peter’s plan runs deeper than bloodshed, and an ancient prophecy claims one of them must die to save their world. But Elyse is done playing by fate’s rules. When Kael is captured, she risks everything to free him, even as visions warn she’ll betray him—and her own brother, fighting for Peter, stands in her way. **A story of fire, fury, and forbidden bonds**, *The Outcast’s Mate* throws you into a world where love is a weapon, trust is fragile, and every choice could end in ruin. Can a betrayed beta and a hardened alpha rewrite destiny—or will the shadows of the past destroy them first?

Moments later, fingers were digging into the omega’s hair, jerking his head up just as another spank got delivered on his second cheek, and this time, there was nothing to muffle the high pitched sound and it filled the air in a melodic tune. “Don’t muffle those sweet sounds, gorgeous. I want to hear every sound you make, I need to hear you as you fall apart from pleasure in my bed tonight, and that’s exactly what’s gonna happen.” * Cover isn’t mine. If owner requests, I’d take it down.
