Summary

BOOK ONE of Forsaken Fates Series -SABLE- I grew up on the wrong side of Sterling Pines, where omegas learn not to ask for things they won’t be given. When fate bound me to four alpha wolves, the golden boys of the elite, they rejected me without hesitation. They didn't realize what I was to them. They don't remember the night they shattered me. They walked away protected by wealth, status, and a town that always shields its own. I survived by becoming cold. I buried the girl who believed in fate and built walls no one could climb. I don’t need their apologies. I don’t need their hunger. I don’t need men who only learned my worth after losing me. They can chase all they want. I’m already gone. -PACK ROSS- We don’t remember rejecting her. But our bodies do. The bond woke up wrong: sharp, violent, relentless. It tears through us every time she’s near and every time she isn’t. We feel her absence like starvation. Like a wound that won’t close. Like something vital was ripped out and taken where we can’t follow. She won’t look at us. She won’t soften. She treats us like predators and it’s driving us insane. We watch her move through the world without us, colder, stronger, untouched by our regret. The omega we dismissed has become unreachable, and the bond won’t let us stop circling. We want to claim her. We want to fix it. We want what we’re no longer sure we deserve. She says we’re too late. The bond says she’s still ours. One of us is lying. Forsaken Fates: Book One is a dark reverse harem shifter romance featuring rejected mates, obsessive and unraveling MMCs, class divide, feral bonds, power imbalance, and an omega who survives by refusing to be claimed.

“Welcome to Sterling Pines, where every fated bond bleeds before it heals.”

Thank you for picking up Fated to Fail: Book One of the Forsaken Fates series, set in M.J. Signe’s shared universe of dark, contemporary reverse-harem shifter romance. Every series in this world stands alone and can be read in any order, but the woods that hold these packs are alive: rivalries cross territory lines, and characters you meet here may walk through the edge of someone else’s story.

This is a slow-burning, dark romance about a rejected omega and the four alpha wolves fate refuses to let her walk away from. Below is everything you need before you begin. Chapter One is one tap away.

💠 Tropes You Can Expect: Rejected mate/rejected omega ~ Reverse harem/why-choose (she never has to choose & no sword crossing) ~ Four fated alphas · MFMMM ~ Fated mates & mate bonds ~ A strong omega heroine who survives by refusing to be claimed ~ Wolf shifters & pack life ~ Class divide ~ Obsessive, possessive, unraveling heroes ~ Feral bonds ~ Second chances ~ Grovel (they will earn it) ~ Angst with an eventual happily ever after ~ Standalone in a living shared universe.

📅 Updates (as of August 20, 2026)

As a full-time litigation paralegal, I struggle to write and post consistently. Due to my mental health disorders, I can’t guarantee a specific posting schedule, as I have to put my mental health first (as everyone should). Please allow me some grace for delayed posting. My work consists of real, non-AI-generated or AI-assisted writing for every chapter released, and I don’t feel comfortable posting a chapter until I am fully confident in the final product.

My goal is QUALITY, not quantity.

💬 A Note From Me

Comments and votes mean everything to an indie author. I read and reply to as many as I can, so please talk to me as you go. If you love a line, a mate, or a moment, tell me. It genuinely keeps these chapters coming.
