Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen Novel

Selma Payne is brutally rejected by her destined mate, Benson Walton, on his nineteenth birthday. He publicly denounces her as an ugly, weak human, unworthy of their pack. Devastated, Selma, who discovered at sixteen she was not her parents' biological child and felt like a burden, attempts suicide by jumping off a cliff. Miraculously, she survives and her true identity is revealed: she is the lost, eighteen-year-old daughter of the Lycan King and heir to the throne. Surprised to learn she is a werewolf despite her perceived weakness, Selma conceals her royal status to undergo training. She questions whether her instructor, who seems frivolous, will truly help her awaken her wolf. As Selma grows stronger and her public profile rises, she faces repeated attacks and plots, suspecting a connection to her past kidnapping. She resolves to uncover the truth, protect her family, and confront her lover.
