About this listen
After one night, he walked away. He’s going to live to regret it.
Mari
Growing up alone in Quarry Pack, I always dreamed of a mate who’d sweep me off my feet and carry me away to our very own cottage that we’d fill with pups and love and laughter. A real family.
What I got?
Wham, bam, thank you ma’am.
The pack sees Darragh Ryan as a tortured hero with a dark past, protecting the pack from afar.
I know better. He’s a jerk who can’t deal with people so he’s chosen to live in the wilderness and—I don’t know—brood. One thing I do know is that he doesn’t get to reject me.
I reject him.
Darragh
Mari doesn’t understand what she doesn’t know. She’s naïve, soft, and way too young and sweet for a life of self-imposed exile.
She’s a grown female who sits in trees, reading books, and wears party dresses to garden. Everything she owns is pink. Her wolf is probably pink.
She can’t handle the real world, and she sure can’t handle my wolf. No one can.
One day, she’ll understand why I won’t claim her, and she might not thank me, but she should.
Because my wolf? Given half a chance, he’d tear her apart.
The Lone Wolf’s Rejected Mate is the third novel in The Five Packs series, but it can be listened to as a stand-alone. No cheating. HEA guaranteed. Intended for adult listeners only.

Story
I keep my head down. In this backward 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-20s 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.

I don't want an alpha. I don't want the legendary Murphy pack as stepbrothers. I don't want to share a house with the four boys every girl in school wants. And I definitely don't want their breath on my skin, their scent in my nose, their marks on my neck. Their father told them to look after me. But he doesn't realize just how they've decided to twist that directive. I'm a pet omega for them to play with. And they're about to give me everything they decide I need.

Unfortunately, that requires her to interact with Marc—her best friend’s troublemaking brother, who’s now a tech billionaire. He’s the one who got away. She’s the one who broke his heart. Outside, a howling blizzard. Inside, a crackling fire. Suddenly, being snowbound with the man she never expected to see again might not be such a bad way to spend a winter’s night.

I keep my head down. In this backward 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-20s 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.

My life was like a train on a fixed track. I knew I would inherit the pack, but didn't know that Alpha’s duty included arranged marriage. So naturally, I disliked the girl chosen by my parents, even though she was my Mate-gorgeous and intelligent! The matebond guided me to claim her, but my rational side forced me to reject her after a perfect night. I didn’t realize my love until I lost her, when she left the pack to pursue her dreams. However, my love did not die once I saw her again, at my engagement to someone else.

I almost hooked up with a werewolf… but before we got to third base, he dragged me off to jail. Apparently, he's the leader of the pack in town. The fact that I’m an illegal blood wolf—a vampire/werewolf hybrid—doesn’t help my case. And he didn't appreciate me accidentally biting him when we were kissing, either. Luckily, or unluckily, he seems to think I'm his true mate, which means he won't let anyone hurt me. But he also won't let me go. Between his possessiveness, my need to be near him, and the vampire clan hunting me, one thing's becoming clear:

My life hasn't been typical. All I remember is waking up in an alley when I was ten, scrounging for scraps to survive until I was taken to the Bronzeheart estate. That's where my life began, where I've lived for the past eight years with the ruling family, the Blitz Clan. It's where I found my best friend Gage, the future leader of this clan. At the time, I didn't question my good fortune because I was happy to know I wasn't alone in this world anymore. But maybe I should have. After landing a shocking invite to Dark Imaginarium Academy, I realized how much of a safe haven the estate was.

Unlike other werewolves, I never wanted a mate. I would rather teach stupid mortals than inherit my family business as my father wished. Because I hated my blood. But I met her, in a bar, on a chaotic night. She's so distinguished, and her scent drove me crazy. With all my strength, I forced myself to leave because I didn't want to entangle this innocent girl in my abyss. But she reappeared in my class. Loving her seemed to have already been written in my genes, and I couldn't resist her no matter how hard I tried.

Darragh & Mari
I love anything Cate writes and absolutely love this story. My only complaint is how the female narrator performs the male dialogue- she sounds, toothy? Idk how to explain it but I picture a bulldog with an underbite. When she’s speaking as Darragh it’s so garbled I barely understand what she’s saying.

My Favorite of the 5 packs!
We finally get a glimpse into the feral wolf’s reason for being moon mad, we find out what’s been happening to the missing shifters and we also find a HEA . This book was worth a credit in my opinion and this series just keeps getting better.

Dark and Captivating!
This is the third book in The Five Packs series, a forbidden Shifter Romance, in an ongoing interconnected series. Darragh and Mari's story is entertaining, dark, and heartbreaking, filled with angst, danger, suspense, and twists and turns. Mari is naive, but smart, determined, and strong. Darragh is enigmatic, tortured, and ruthless. This story is darker than the other books in the series. The world building is captivating. Samantha Leatherwood and Aiden Snow did an excellent job bringing this story to life. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to more in the series. #StoryOrigin

Angst and love!
Mari and Darragh both have gone through so much. This story will break your heart but trust the author to put it back together. Both characters grow throughout to understand themselves and ultimately choose to fight to have their HEA.

Emotional, Hard Won Fated Mates
Darragh and Mari were perfectly imperfect, they both had some serious emotional baggage. At first I wasn't sure how they were going to make it work, they didn't seem right for eachother but the author did these two justice. While I understand why Darragh leaves to protect Mari this is crushing, and without giving more away this couple takes even more hits. Their HEA was very hard won.
Love Aiden Snow and Samantha was great, they brought the emotions and story to life.
I still love shifters and fated mates no matter how many of them I read, this one is at the top of my list and definitely my fav of the series

Bravo
I mostly use reviews to vent and rarely give high stars, but credit where it’s due this was a perfect story. Engaging from start to finish, deep, smart, emotional as hell, and extraordinarily well written.
The mmc (Darragh) is the lone wolf. He’s part of Quarry pack, but not. We’re told because of a childhood trauma his wolf is feral, untrustworthy and kills without compunction. It’s all sweet Darragh can do to keep it contained, so he stays far away. The mfc (Mari) you’ll remember from Una’s origin story in book 1. She’s the baby whose moon mad father punted her, tried to kill her, maimed Una and then got murdered by the then Alpha (Declan Kelly). Mari’s mother shortly after committed suicide. So she’s always been an unprotected female. These were a couple of seriously broken shifters.
The relationship in this book is messed up. I’ve read other reviewers that likened it to domestic violence. But there was only a single (heartbreaking) incident of violence perpetrated by the wolf against his mate and you might say it was caused by a ptsd episode rather than malice.
The wolf in this book did not create of a culture of fear through it’s behaviour the way a domestic abuser does. Because Darragh kept it suppressed/isolated/even chained, the wolf was feared mostly by reputation. To me the unpredictability of the wolf juxtaposed by the kindness of the man is much more akin to living with a schizophrenic.
All of the books in this series are about rejection. It’s right in the title. But this one took it to another level. The rejection was crafted so well it was decimating. If rejection is one of your unhealed wounds you will weep for Mari.
By midpoint the book takes a very violent turn (human violence). So be warned, what the MCs suffer is dark and goes on a little too long. Their time in that shipping container… smh. As for the love element of the story, Darragh was a good man and he tried, but he was bound by his limitations. It was Mari (who was some 20yrs his junior!) that did all of the heavy lifting as far as communicating and taking all the emotional risks. Unfortunately it always seems to be that way for women. There’s an HEA, but it was SO hard won and SO heavy. Fulfilling but heavy.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
