I rejected them... so how can I expect them to forgive me? All shifters are taught the importance of mate bonds from a young age, and I was no exception. Problem is, there were a lot of other things I was taught too. Like how to be the strong one when no one else can. Rejecting my mates was no different. I did it for them; they're better off without me. Moving across the country and living the human life was I wanted. At least, that's what I thought until I found myself back in Blackcreek. And I can't tell them why I'm here, because then they'll really hate me. Return to Blackcreek is a standalone rejected mates whychoose novel. It is part of the Corporate Shifters series but the books can be read in any order.
