Introduction

Aria Vale was born an Omega, the lowest of her kind. But she refuses to live as prey. With the help of her witch friend, she hides her scent, suppresses her heat, and denies the mate bond that would chain her to a dominant Alpha. She’d rather be anything than the weak, submissive creature her old pack forced her to be.

Lucian Ashwood once walked away from his birthright. Leaving his pack behind, he abandoned the title of Alpha to live among humans and be free of responsibility, free of blood. But when his younger brother Adrian is killed in what looks like a rogue attack, Lucian is dragged back into the pack he left behind. He doesn’t expect to inherit three grieving toddlers, or the crushing guilt of discovering just how much he missed.

He also doesn’t expect her.

Aria is fire where Omegas are meant to bow. His mate bond to her ignites a storm of heat and defiance, her refusal to be claimed only fuels his need to dominate. But their struggle for control is only the beginning.

Because Adrian’s death was no accident. Malrik Veynar, the bitter Beta of Aria’s former pack who has been waiting in the shadows, weaving lies and fear. To secure his power, he’ll break Lucian, use the children as leverage, and drag Aria back into submission.

But Aria isn’t prey anymore. And Lucian can’t run from his destiny twice.

Together, they must face the bond that burns between them, the betrayal that threatens to destroy them, and the war that will decide the future of their pack.

Chapter 1

Aria’s POV.

You are nothing!”

Smack!

“You will always be nothing!”

Smack!!

“Bottom of the food chain, that’s all you’ll ever be. You’re just here to satisfy me—don’t you ever get ideas.”

Smack! Smack!! Smack!!!

“Now get on your knees and strip!”

All I could hear was the ringing in my ears. My body had reached its limit, pain thrumming in every nerve. Fear or not, I couldn’t move.

The stench of sweat and whiskey clung to his breath as he leaned closer. His nails bit into my chin, forcing my head up. My pulse hammered in my skull like a drum. I wanted to spit in his face, but my body refused to obey. Fear, pain, exhaustion, they all blurred together.

“Don’t you hear me, bitch?”

Smack! Smack!! Smack!!!

I stayed limp, unresponsive.

“Why do you always have to test me, huh? Why won’t you just listen?”

I stared at nothing, numb.

“You think you’re just going to keep ignoring me?! I’ve had enough of this shit. Malrik!”

He came rushing in immediately.

“Drag this bitch out. Put her in the cells. No food till I say so.”

“Yes, sir.”

“And don’t get her filthy blood on my rug. That’s real wolf skin,” he added smugly.

“Yes, sir.”

A rough hand tangled in my hair, yanking my head back. Here we go again…

---

My eyes shot open.

It took me a full minute to realize I was awake. My claws weren’t out and there was no cell. Just my bedroom. Just the soft hum of the AC and Nyra’s low voice in the back of my mind.

“You’re safe. Breathe.”

I curled my knees to my chest and pressed my palms to my eyes until the tremors eased.

My lungs dragged in air like I’d been drowning. Another nightmare. Just what I needed.

The sheets clung to my skin, soaked in sweat. I glanced at the AC it hummed, working fine. No excuse. The glowing red of my alarm clock read 4:13 a.m. Well, shit. Guess it was an early morning.

I shoved the covers back, padded into the bathroom, and twisted the shower cold. Water sluiced over me, shocking, grounding. When I stepped out, I didn’t bother dressing. I’d planned a run anyway, and I couldn’t afford to ruin more clothes. A ponytail would do.

“We should eat something first. I’m starving.”

“Running on a full stomach isn’t ideal, Nyra. And where the hell would we find food at five in the morning?”

“You have a kitchen. You could whip something up.”

We both cracked up. I couldn’t cook for shit, and she knew it.

Nyra was my wolf. My anchor. My partner. The best damn thing in this messed-up world. Without her, I’d be gone a long time ago.

I grabbed an apple, bit it down to the core on my way to the front door, tossed the rind in the trash, and stepped outside. A wave of cold air slapped my face. Now that was what I needed.

“You ready, girl?” I asked.

You know I am,” Nyra purred, smirking in my head.

I let go. Let her in. My body rippled, broke, and reformed in seconds.

My bones cracked and slid like puzzle pieces finding their place. The change burned, but it was a welcome burn, a release. Fur rippled down my arms, my senses sharpened, every sound in the forest rising to a symphony. The night air tasted like pine and frost, like freedom.

Black fur shimmered into being, sleek and small. Omegas weren’t built for combat, but speed? That was mine.

Paws hit the earth, and I shot forward, tearing into the trees. The forest welcomed me like an old friend, shadows parting around me, the wind in my fur.

This.., this was freedom.

And it was the only thing keeping me sane.

What a beautiful way to begin my day.

"You are absolutely my fucking woman, Dani. Got me?"
I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected. You drive me crazier than anyone I've ever met, but then you make me feel complete. I'm feeling things I don't quite know how to process and that makes me want to run. I don't want to give up something that might be really, really good, but I also don't want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he's super pretty and makes me come."

The LCD screen in the arena showed pictures of the seven fighters in the Alpha Class. There I was, with my new name.
I looked strong, and my wolf was absolutely gorgeous.
I looked to where my sister is sitting and her and the rest of her posse have jealous fury on their faces. I then look up to where my parents are and they're glaring at my picture, if looks alone could set shit on fire.
I smirk at them then I turn away to face my opponent, everything else falling away but what was here on this platform. I take my skirt and cardigan off. Standing in just my tank and capris, I move into a fighting position and wait for the signal to start -- To fight, to prove, and not hide myself anymore.
This was going to be fun. I thought, a grin on my face.

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé.
Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now—billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn’t mind. I’d crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one?
Wrong.
One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That’s when it hit me—he didn’t love me. He didn’t even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn’t even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup.
So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster—my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise.
Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol.
Enter him.
Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I’d met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes.
It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised.
But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life.
And, as it turned out, the best decision I’d ever made.
Because my one-night stand isn’t just some random guy. He’s richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with.
And now, he’s not letting me go.
