My Mate, The Coward

On her 16th birthday, Charlie, an outcast in her own werewolf pack, finally finds her mate. But instead of a joyous reunion, she is met with harsh rejection by the pack's future Alpha. Heartbroken and seeking solace, Charlie flees to Paris. Two years later, she returns, transformed and ready to confront the past and the mate who called her a 'loser.'
A sudden thud jolts you awake. Your brother, Connor, stands in the doorway, his voice tired. "Get up. You're going to make us all late for school."
It's your 16th birthday, the day werewolves are meant to find their fated mate. The thought fills you with both dread and a flicker of hope in your otherwise bleak existence within the pack.
You navigate the familiar routine, the weight of being an outcast heavy on your shoulders. At lunch, a collision sends sparks through you – your mate. But the bewildering sight that meets your eyes is Cole, the future Alpha, your brother's best friend, who looks at you with a mix of shock, happiness, and terror.
