The Tyrant Alpha’s Rejected Mate (The Five Packs)
Una
I keep my head down. In this backwards pack, females rank low, and my bad leg makes me damaged goods. It doesn’t help that I’ve never shifted. I don’t mind the late twenties single life, though. No one’s paying any attention as I build an illicit farmer’s market empire.
My roomies and I are doing it for ourselves, and if life under Killian Kelly is stifling, at least it’s predictable. We can deal.
But when biology finally kicks in, I lose my mind. I claim our alpha as my mate. And he rejects me in front of the whole pack.
It’s all good. It only hurts when I breathe. I’ll survive. That’s what I do.
Who wants an arrogant jerk for a mate, anyway? I’ve got a business to run.
Killian
To lead this pack out of the dark ages, I’ve had to be hard. Merciless. I don’t flinch, and I don’t make mistakes.
Una Hayes isn’t my mate.
My wolf might have some kind of strange infatuation, but if she were mine, I’d know it. And I can walk away, can’t I?
And if I keep coming back? If she starts living in my head?
I’m the strongest male in five generations. My pack scrambles to do my bidding. I can bring one quiet female back in line. No one can possibly be as stubborn as I am.
There’s no way I’ve ruined the best thing that’s ever happened to me.
I’m the Quarry pack alpha. I don’t lose.
The Tyrant Alpha’s Rejected Mate is a full-grown shifter romance. No cheating. HEA guaranteed. Intended for adult readers only.

The Tyrant Alpha’s Rejected Mate (The Five Packs) Review
The Literary Invertebrate
4.0 out of 5 stars This is the only ‘rejected mate’ book I’ve actually enjoyed so far.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 15, 2022
When I was younger (about 13 or so) I remember reading a VERY popular Wattpad romance specifically about a rejected werewolf mate. Actually, there were quite a few in that vein (though my favourite werewolf romance was one called ‘The Alpha Meets the Rogue’ by xXdemolitionloverXx). I’m totally unsurprised that – about ten years later – there’s a real trend of ‘rejected mate’ books making the rounds. As with any trope (bully romance, prison-setting romance, academy romance) the majority will be dross, some will be gold.
This book definitely inches closer to the ‘gold’ end of the spectrum.
29-year-old Killian Kelly is the pack alpha, responsible for dragging it out of the Dark Ages where women were constantly raped and ‘men were men’. Now they’re just somewhere in the Tudor era, so the women still don’t have a great time, but can at least hope for general safety. Pack life is pretty brutal – to stay on top, you have to be the strongest – but luckily for him, he’s the best fighter.
Una Hayes can’t say the same. She has a limp that makes her unable to walk properly, and she’s pretty much at the bottom of the pack hierarchy. When her wolf recognises Killian as her mate, he reacts with bafflement – he doesn’t feel any connection, and tells her so. Humiliated and in heat, she flees.
For his part, Killian can’t work out why he can’t stop thinking about her, and pretty soon he realises that she is his mate. Cue a book of him striving to prove he’ll always be there for her from now on, while she hesitates.
There are a lot of thing to like about this book – the writing, for one, which is crisp and no-nonsense. For another, Killian is actually a virgin – because he wanted to save himself for his mate! Aww. (Una isn’t, for the record). I also enjoyed how this book manifested my favourite elements of the omegaverse genre (nesting and knotting) without the distasteful ‘omegas are absolutely under the control of alphas’ bit.
Killian’s actions are both understandable and forgivable; he’s not a cruel person by any stretch of the imagination. There are a host of side characters with EXTREMELY interesting backstories, and I’m keen for the next book in the series.
