Lycan’s Mate Denied by A.R McKinnon

How do you heal a broken heart when the one meant to be your mate rejects you?

It’s a question Kelly has been asking since she realized the alpha of her pack was also her mate.
Unable to remain unmated, Kelly must gain Ryan’s approval to leave the pack and search for another mate.
Ryan is the youngest alpha to ever rule a pack. When the woman he thought was his mate left him years before Ryan ignored the pain and humiliation of her rejection, throwing himself into his duties as alpha, determined to be a worthy leader of the largest lycan pack in North America. He’s vowed to solve the fertility problems plaguing the lycans and save their race from certain extinction.
When Kelly comes seeking to leave the same way his hurt isn’t as easy to set aside this time.
Can he neutralize the danger to his pack and win back his mate? Or will they both be forced to suffer as mates denied?
