Taken by the Rogue Alpha

They took her name. He took her hostage. Neither of them planned on the rest. Sable Marrow is rejected by her fated mate at her own naming ceremony, in front of the whole Iron Ridge pack. By morning she is out on the long road with nothing but the clothes she was named in. Dax Carrow finds her in the snow. He is the rogue alpha the great packs use to scare their children — a man who built a pack out of the wolves everyone else threw away. He needs her patrol routes. She needs a fire. She gives him the routes. Then she gives him something he didn't ask for: a plan. A rogue pack that only raids doesn't survive the spring. A rogue pack that trades, builds, and holds ground might. By the time Iron Ridge rides on the camp with her old mate at the front, Sable has made a decision about whose pack she belongs to — and it isn't the one that named her. She was rejected. She was not, in the end, unclaimed.
