Welcome to Redwood University, where the creatures that go bump in the night really do exist, and they're hiding in plain sight. Attending a small college in the middle of nowhere was never my plan, but when I was offered free tuition and the promise of an excellent education, that plan changed. It would've been nice to know I would be one of the only humans on campus. It'd be even better if a certain bossy shifter didn't claim me as his fated mate. Alexei is arrogant, acrimonious, and the worst A-word of them all: an alpha. But I can't deny the way my body responds to him. No matter how many warning flags are waving around in my head, we gravitate toward one another. It's primal. Passionate. Painful. Because regardless of what the fates think, or the supposed destiny we share? Alexei and I could never be.So, if Alexei won't reject our bond? I'll have to do it for him. *To Reject a Mate is the first book in the Redwood University Trilogy. It cannot be read as a standalone and ends in a cliffhanger. If possessive heroes, who occasionally turn into wolves, and sassy, headstrong heroines are your jam, you've come to the right place. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride into this exciting new paranormal world.
