Summary
Ava Danvers has plans that do not involve kneeling to a king—especially not one who could have saved someone she loved and chose the law instead. She wants to finish her studies, drag her struggling coastal pack into the future, and never again be traded like a bargaining chip. When her father volunteers her as envoy to the distant Moon Court, Ava goes with a secret, blazing goal: expose the laws that helped kill her friend and prove the Court’s power is not untouchable.The Moon Court rules from the Silver Expanse, a hidden valley of living stone temples and moon‑washed terraces where heirs are forged into weapons and moved like pieces on a board. There, Ava is thrown into brutal combat trials, elegant traps disguised as etiquette, and political games designed to break anyone who won’t bend. Her only advantage is a dangerous Tide Warden gift—a wild reaction to moonlight that bends light, warps sound, and makes the valley itself seem to breathe with her emotions. It is volatile, forbidden, and the last thing she intends to let anyone see.Then she crashes into a stranger in a forbidden garden, and everything changes.When King Kael Alaric’s hand closes around her arm, a Heart‑Chain bond detonates between them—unstable, violent magic that rattles the iron cage around his cursed wolf, cracks stone under their feet, and welds their fates together in a single breath. For one heartbeat, Ava feels seen down to the bone. In the next, Kael rips his hand away, denies the bond, and rejects her without a word.Kael has spent years believing the Moon itself turned on him the night his parents were murdered and his beast was chained by blood and spell. He rebuilt his throne on distance, ruthless discipline, and the certainty that love is a weapon his enemies can use. The Heart‑Chain is everything he fears: a crack in his control, a risk to his people, and a reminder that the mate he thought he’d lost may never have been the whole story. So he does what he thinks he must. He rejects the bond, rejects Ava, and tries to lock the curse down harder.But rejection doesn’t break the Heart‑Chain. It twists it.When Ava’s fear or fury spikes, Kael’s curse surges closer to the edge. When Kael gives in to rage, her Tide Warden magic becomes sharp enough to shatter minds and mountains. As assassins stalk temple corridors, rival heirs hunt for signs of royal weakness, and fragmented prophecies warn that the heartbound king’s choice will tip the world into balance or blood, Ava must decide whether to sever a bond that keeps hurting her—or fight for a love he swears he does not want.She came to expose the Court’s corruption. Now the survival of every pack—and the soul of the king who rejected her—may depend on whether she can turn a cursed, unwanted Heart‑Chain into something neither of them believed in anymore.Perfect for readers who love dual POV, fated‑but‑rejected mates, and court politics with claws, Rejected, Cursed, and Yours is a dark, emotional werewolf romance where destiny is only the first wound—and choosing each other is the only real cure.
