Rejected and Pregnant Bookish Mate of the Lycan King Billionaire: A Rejected Mate Secret Baby Shifter Romance
I threw up on a billionaire Lycan King, freshly fired from a bookstore and drunk out of my mind.
His wolf looked at the mess I was and growled one mate.
I was not consulted.
He’s my brother’s best friend. Completely off limits.
Six-and-a-half feet of muscle and tailored suits.
Now, I’m moving into his penthouse, because my bedroom flooded the same week I lost my job.
His rules. His space. His territory.
“I am sir. Do you get that, Poppy?” he growls on my first day working for him.
I should have quit on the spot.
Instead I said it back.
He catches me reading smut on his couch.
Stops letting me read about it.
Starts doing it to me instead.
He pins me against a wall at night and won’t look at me in the office.
Touches me under the table with my brother three feet away.
Whispers, “You always have a choice, Poppy,” but every choice leads me back to him.
Then his pack finds out what I am.
And Kael does the one thing I never expected.
He rejects me.
He doesn’t know I’m pregnant.
And I’m not planning on telling him.
“I love you so much it’s been killing me,” he tells me, months too late, on his knees, with tears on his face.
Cute.
But I’m not the same girl who fell for him.
I’m a mother now.
And the Lycan King who broke me?
I’m about to break him right back.
Rejected and Pregnant Bookish Mate of the Lycan King Billionaire is a fun, spicy rejected mate romance with a possessive Lycan King, forced proximity, and an FMC with zero patience for groveling billionaires. Intended for 18+ readers due to mature content and themes. For best reading experience, it is recommended to read Book 1, Lycan King’s Rejected Bookish Mate, first.

Notes for me
Kael - alpha shifter.
Poppy - human
Jack - Poppy’s brother, Kael’s best friend.
Have no idea Kael is Lycan.
Kael heads to the bar to pick up his drunk brother. He sees Poppy who is drowning her sorrows of being fired.
Kael always notices when she is around. He catches her when she stumbles drunk and his wolf found his mate.
Kael’s company buys the bookstore so she goes to work for him.
They are finally intimate and Kael’s wolf marks her. Kael’s horrified that he did it without her consent and tied her to a monster for life.
She finds out he’s a Lycan by overhearing an argument with his father. Jack finds out and is furious with both of them.
Kael is afraid Poppy will die birthing his baby. He decides to reject her. It’s brutal. He does it in a conference room in front his brother, dad and Nina.
He doesn’t know she is already pregnant.
Grace is another human from book 1 married to a Lycan. She helps Poppy and takes her to a cabin in another pack’s land.
Her body goes into early labor because the baby’s Lycan blood is causing hers to reject labor. The only way to save her is have Kael there. She refuses but she will die.
I liked the separation only being months, not years.
Safety
Poppy is a v
Kael wants to bury his mate feelings for Poppy “under someone else’s body” and prove to his wolf the bond was just biological. He goes to a club, but no woman interests him.
Nina is his assistant. Around the time he rejects Poppy, she’s touching him all the time. She stands next to him when he rejects her rubbing his back and comforting him.

3.5☆s He didn't grovel enough after that rejection and she took him back way too easily

Blah
This book was kinda blah. It lacked the substance needed to get readers invested in the relationship. There's no real drama. The characters had no romance they just wanted to have sex. There was no real believable love between the main characters.In real life the female character would have promised to neuter the male character if he acted like he was sleeping with another woman before she took him back. The characters and the story had no depth. There was no reason except the " bond " for them to be together and if you have read the previous books you know that the bond gets the couples attention but neither the bond or the wolf make love happen.
This story didn't tie up the loose ends. A baby just made everything better. That's asinine. At least it's a short read.

disappointed
I would have rated this higher but it looked like the authors wrote separate sections of the book. It went from reading like people speak “I’ll, I can’t, it’s) to formal “I will, I cannot, it is” which became very obvious that it changed. I love these tropes, it’s my go-to but the change in language was super disappointing.

It was an interesting book with a mix of humans and Lycans, it was distinctly different. I like the fact that she made him grovel so well. I also liked she had other human friends that were in the same situation like her.

Can we follow our own plot
I get that this is a fun read but there are plot holes I could drive a semi through and I felt like I was reading four different people which given that these are most likely ghost writers is apt but yeeeesh

Poppy and Kael
I enjoyed this book. I loved the part where Karl made Poppy read smut to him. Then they enacted the scenes on the couch.

Ever heard of contractions? This really annoyed me!
I like the premise of this story but I think it needs better execution!
