Betrayed Mate (Rejected Fate Trilogy) by Jen L. Grey

My fated mate betrayed me, leaving me broken and alone. As the future second-in-command of my pack, my destiny was clear—until the leader of a rival pack rejected our bond, shattering my heart and destroying my world. But his cruelty didn’t stop there.
