Call of the Stones by Elizabeth Blackthorne

I was rejected by my fated mate — coldly, brutally, and without regret. Two years later, I’m still broken.
So when the magical council launches a suicide mission into the distant past, I volunteer.
The witches said the world was breaking, that magic itself was bleeding. That someone had to go back to the beginning and stop it. I figured that someone might as well be me.
Because I don’t care if I come back.
Except the expedition leader is the same alpha who shattered me… and the woman he chose instead is coming too.
Stranded twenty-five thousand years ago after a catastrophic earthquake, our team is rescued by one wolf clan — and hunted by another. The rival pack can sense the power inside me and decides I belong to them.
To protect me, a quiet giant bear-shifter healer offers to become my mate and refuse their claim. Only for my safety. But Daska touches me like I matter… like I’m already his.
And then there’s Rivik — the clan’s powerful alpha. Fierce. Controlled. Devastatingly protective. He keeps his distance even as the tension between us burns hotter every day. Claiming me would cost him everything — his pack, his power, his future. And yet, I can feel his eyes on me always.
I’ve already been rejected once.
I won’t survive it again.
But it seems fate isn’t done with me yet.
