Lycan King's Rejected Second Chance Bookish Mate
(2026)(Book 26 in the Possessive Small Town Alpha Kings series)
A novel by Destiny Lyre and Kiara Sere
The Lycan King was my fated mate.
He gave me a baby, broke my heart,
and abandoned me after his mother poisoned me.
Now, years later, I adopted a therapy animal. I didn't know it was him in shifter form.
Seven years. No call. No explanation. Just a train platform, a packed bag, and a man who never showed.
I raised our daughter alone. Moved to a mountain town. Built a life so quiet nobody could find us.
Then a scarred wolf collapsed on my doorstep — and my six-year-old named him Bear before I could say no.
For three months, he slept at the foot of my bed. I told that wolf every secret I had - about the man who left, the daughter he'd never met, the part of me that still wasn't over it.
The wolf heard every word. Because the wolf was the man.
Now the Lycan King is back in human form, standing in my kitchen, saying he didn't leave by choice — and that the enemies who tried to kill him are coming for our daughter next.
I don't care about his throne. I care that he listened to me cry about him to him for three months and didn't say a word.
The bond never broke. And neither did I.
But if he wants us, he will have to grovel at our feet for forgiveness.
Lycan King’s Rejected Second Chance Bookish Girl is a spicy, angsty second chance rejected mate romcom with a groveling hero, featuring a deposed Lycan King who spent three months bleeding on his mate’s kitchen floor in wolf form, and the bookish small-town vet tech who stitched him back together without realizing she was saving the father of her six-year-old daughter.
