When they rejected me in front of everybody, they thought I'd fold. They thought I'd disappear back into the basement, back into silence, back into being the girl nobody claims. One word was supposed to end me. Instead, it woke something up that the Council can't control, and two packs can't intimidate. At Hollow Ridge High, the rules hit different when you're a werewolf and your life is somebody else's politics. Packs run the halls. Alphas run the crowd. The Council runs the world behind closed doors. And me? I'm the problem they didn't plan for. Because the night I got humiliated turned into the night the truth started bleeding through. Rogue attacks. A staged kidnapping. A dirty extraction order with my name on it. A "lawful" system that plays unfair the second you stop obeying. When I refuse to break, the pressure switches from gossip to threats, from threats to violence, from violence to war. And then my past comes back with teeth. A message at sunrise. A secret about my father. A choice that could cost my pack everything. And a question I can't ignore anymore: do I keep running from rejection, or do I turn it into payback? The Reborn is a fast, gritty, emotional werewolf romance filled with high school heat, pack drama, and raw betrayal.
