"No way," he muttered, his voice hoarse as he gripped the steering wheel of his truck. "That can't be."Air slowly filled his lungs, but it felt like inhaling shards of glass as the healer's potion fought against the curse. When his breathing finally leveled out, and he lifted his head from the steering wheel, he froze. The sky beyond the windshield was pitch black.Leah... right, Leah.Owen’s pace faltered. He stopped in front of Lexy, his massive frame trembling from the exertion. "Is it true?" His voice shook, barely above a whisper. "Is... she..."He couldn't force the word out."Leah?" Lexy let out a bitter, echoing laugh. Her glare was piercing, but the tears suddenly brimming in her eyes betrayed her. "If you're asking if she's dead, yeah, Hayes. She's dead. But why the hell do you care now?"Owen slammed his heavy hand onto the wooden table. The wood splintered under his force. "Don't mess with me! How could she... How could Leah—"Lexy shoved the table aside, springing to her

Since that harrowing afternoon, the lavish confines of Owen’s bedroom transformed into a suffocating prison.Paralyzed by the agonizing fire in his veins, Owen could do nothing but lie against the silk pillows, his once-imposing body wasting away by the hour. Yet, through the blinding pain, only one thought consumed his feverish mind. He begged his mother to bring Leah to him. He wanted nothing more than to drag himself out of that bed, to shift into his beast and run until he found her, but his limbs were essentially dead weight. He couldn't even lift himself upright without his vision swimming in black spots.Naturally, the Alpha and Rowena fiercely opposed the idea."Why are you still bothering with that girl?" his father demanded, pacing the floorboards with a heavy, intimidating gait. "She was a scentless, wolfless nobody. Or..." The Alpha stopped, his amber eyes narrowing with dangerous suspicion. "Is she the one who did this to you? Did that little Omega somehow hire a witch

The sickening crack echoed in the hallway.But I am human in all but name. My knuckles instantly shattered against her dense bones. Rachel barely stumbled. A feral, bloodcurdling snarl ripped from her throat.The retaliation was instantaneous and brutal. Blake and three of her minions descended on me. Heavy boots slammed into my ribs. Claws tore through my blazer, raking agonizingly across my shoulders. I fought back, kicking and thrashing wildly, but I was a fragile, scentless Omega drowning in a sea of shifting predators. A vicious kick to my stomach sent me crashing into the rusted lockers, my vision exploding into white-hot stars.I collapsed onto the cold floor, coughing violently, the metallic taste of blood flooding my mouth."Get back!" a voice shouted.The crowd parted instantly. The oppressive, mint-and-rain scent of an Alpha flooded the corridor. Owen stepped through the sea of students.I looked up through my swollen, bruised eye. My chest heaved painfully as I reached a b

He meticulously wiped the remaining cream from my skin. His bright, icy blue eyes darkened, the pupils dilating as they fixed intensely on my face. That beautifully curved smile, his low, rumbling chuckle, and all this undivided, hyper-focused Alpha attention meant only for me... it was completely shattering the last fragile shreds of my sanity.My heart was pounding so frantically I knew he could hear it echoing in the quiet truck. I had practically forgotten how to breathe."Your scent is sweet today." he whispered softly, his voice dropping into a husky, hypnotic register as his gaze slowly dropped to my lips.In that moment, time seemed to stop entirely. The sharp details of his face, his tender, unwavering gaze, his intense supernatural heat radiating in the cramped space... it all shattered my final defenses. My intellectual brain flatlined. Something completely reckless took over.Damn it, I can’t hold back anymore!I leaned forward, closing the minuscule gap between us, and ki

“Oops. My bad, Omega,” Rachel sneered, her laugh a cruel, guttural sound that echoed through the crowded courtyard.Concrete scraped fiercely against my palms, tearing the delicate skin until hot beads of crimson welled up to the surface. My knees and elbows took the brutal brunt of the impact against the unforgiving schoolyard asphalt. A stinging, fiery pain shot through my nerve endings like a violent electric shock, but I bit my lip hard enough to taste copper, refusing to let a single whimper escape.Rachel clipping my ankle with a bone-crushing kick was no accident. They loomed over my fallen body, their eyes flashing with a predatory, amber glow. They bathed in that smug, primal satisfaction of dominance, openly mocking my scentless nature, my complete lack of a wolf spirit, and my painfully empty wallet.In a society governed by claws, fangs, and rigid pack hierarchy, I wasn't just a late bloomer. I was a wolfless Omega. A genetic dead end in a high school full of apex predator
