CLAIMED BY THE COLD ALPHA

Everyone says an Omega like me should fear Alpha Darius. I don’t. I crave him. He’s thirty-five, the most powerful Alpha in Mooncrest, and completely off-limits. I’m eighteen, inexperienced, and stupidly obsessed. My room is filled with sketches of him. My diary holds fantasies no Omega should ever confess. And the night I follow the pull of the bond right into his private chamber… I find him touching himself while whispering my name. He takes me—hard, rough, unforgettable—and then disappears for three days like nothing happened. When I try out for the guard, he picks me. When I swear I’ll keep my distance, he pulls me into his bed again. When I fall in love, he warns me love is not part of the deal. But when a rival Alpha starts circling, when rumors spread, when the bond burns hot enough to break him— Darius finally snaps. And the ruthless Alpha everyone fears becomes the male who would destroy the world just to keep me. Because I’m not just his secret. I’m his mate. And now he’s done pretending I’m anything less.
