The Tyrant Alpha's Rejected Mate

Una has suffered an injury to her leg which places her in the “weak” category in this society. Una goes into heat and recognizes the Alpha as her mate. He does not and publicly rejects her. It was bad. He leans into the weak trope heavily to justify the fact that she can't be his mate. Until he figures out how wrong he has always been. There was a lot of groveling. Most of the book is about Una going into heat and Killian groveling. They don't even like each other and it was hard to imagine the endgame for them. Like we know and expect it to happen, but I wasn't sure if Una was going to be all in or was just her wolf.

I don't know... By the end it worked for me.
