CHAPTER 1

"You don't have to do this, Rhea." Micah's voice was a low growl, the Beta in him aching with her pain.I shook my head, my hands trembling as I smoothed out the ritual robe. It was a suffocating thing, embroidered with silver thread that seared like delicate, burning wires against my flesh. "Yes, I do. Theon went over it very carefully. An Omega's first heat must be presented to the pack. It's the law.""The law is not civilized," Micah snarled, his gaze scouring the opulent Ceremonial Grounds of Lunitas. The stands were packed with members of the Silverfang Pack, their faces a sea of expectation and judgment. "It's a spectacle, not a celebration. He's doing this to remind everyone of your… status."A clear young voice spoke up. "She is a Mooncrest. She is of the pack.". She has duties." Eris Vale, Elder Theon's daughter, stood a little behind us, her features a mix of contempt and smugness. She looked at Micah, then me, her gaze lingering on the pale skin of my neck, where the mark

CHAPTER 2

Mooncrest Estate's silence was a heavy cloak, heavier than the stifling ceremonial robe. It had a smell of dust and forgotten memories, something comforting and terrifying at the same time. I ran my hand over the splintered wood of the staircase banister, the very same that I would slide down on as a child. My captivity was less a punishment than a return to a prison I'd broken away from long ago.I walked to the grand room, where my parents, Calix and Lira, were painted above the chilly fireplace. My mom's eyes, identical to mine, glared back at me with defiance and sadness. I flopped onto a worn chaise lounge, the moonlit glow from the enormous window casting silver stripes across the ground. It was in this same room, years before, that the suffering had started. A chill coursed through my body, drawing me back to another day."Micah, wait up!" Ash's voice, a deep, authoritative one even back then, rang out down the corridors of Lunaris Academy.I hid behind a pillar, book clutched

CHAPTER 3

"The Council has convened," Captain Jex Rylan stated, his voice akin to the clang of a cell door slamming shut. "Rhea Mooncrest, step forward."The Council Chamber, its vaulted ceiling and stone seats, was crypt-like. It was the Circle of Governance, where our pack's law was chiseled in stone, but it was more like an abattoir. Elder Theon Vale sat on the middle throne, with Elder Garrick Stonehelm and Elder Marla Fenwick on either side. Theon's gaze was a physical weight, crushing me. He saw me as not human but a problem to be solved."Rhea Mooncrest," Theon stated, his tone lacking warmth. "You have been called in to account for your part in the. disturbance. at the Omega Presentation. An interruption of this kind is an egregious transgression."I stood my ground, Micah standing guardfully behind me. I felt his calming aura, a shield to keep out Theon's smothering presence. I kept the Elder's cold stare at bay. "With all due respect, Elder, the accident was not my fault. The bonds ch

CHAPTER 4

“Look at her. The Omega who believes she's a queen."The whisper, sharp as a dagger, cut through the gentle hum of the Lunaris Academy hallways. It was merely the first of many. Every face I passed had some mix of pity, disgust, or morbid curiosity etched on it. My public refusal of the bond in the Council Hall had been the pack's gossip for two days. I was no longer the isolated Omega; I was the Omega who had tried to defy the future Alpha leaders.I kept my eyes to the ground, my book bag gripped hard. I was on my way to Healer Mira's for my mandatory check-up. The bond was a constant, low-level buzz in my soul, a confusing mix of four various and opposing emotions. It was a curse I couldn't rid myself of.Then, four shadows loomed over me.I stopped dead in my tracks, my head rising slowly. There they stood, lining the hallway. Ash, Zane, Kai, and Blaze. The pack's top Alphas, and my bullies, now bound to me.Ash’s eyes, a simmering mix of cold steel and golden sparks, were fixed o

CHAPTER 5

"You can't remain here forever, Rhea." Micah's voice was barely a whisper, yet it rang out in the quiet of the empty Mooncrest Estate. We were in the ancient conservatory, its glass panes letting in the faint afternoon light."I know," I whispered. What had occurred in the school hall remained with me, a pain in my back and a greater one in my heart. The bond had been a muffled thrum ever since, but now it was… changing. A gradual heat was beginning to permeate me, a fluid fire that caused my skin to prickle."What is wrong?" Micah asked, his Beta senses recognizing my distress."I… I don't know," I lied, trying to push the spreading heat back down. It was too soon. It could not be happening now. The Healer Mira had said I had more time. The pack would not be ready. I was not ready.A biting, acute scent cut through the dusty air of the conservatory. Not a familiar scent of pine, earth, or the other Alphas. This was unlike that. Dark and wild. It was a smell of burned earth and blood.

CHAPTER 6

"Rhea Mooncrest! Are you listening, Omega?" Professor Olin Greaves' voice, sharp and laced with his usual disdain for Omegas, penetrated the fog of my confusion.I blinked, trying to focus on the ancient texts he was quoting. Lunaris Academy. History class. It felt distant, unreal. My body kept vibrating, a low, persistent hum that was both uncomfortable and deliciously exhilarating. The warmth, which had got the better of me at the Mooncrest Estate, now retreated to a bubbling undercurrent, a promise to come back. And the bond. the bond was an endless whirlpool of emotions from the four Alphas. I felt their frustration, their rage, their possessiveness, all channelled towards me."Mooncrest!" Greaves snapped, his eyes fixed. "I daresay you'd like to enlighten me as to the historical significance of the Alpha Council's decree regarding Omega mate selection?"My stomach lurched. Mate selection. The very words sickened me. I pushed back from the table, the sound of stone on wood creakin

CHAPTER 7

"Elder Mooncrest, Rhea," Theon's voice boomed in the Council Hall, unyielding and unstoppable. "Your defiance has seen us with no choice. The bond exists, whether you acknowledge it or not. And it cannot be allowed to erode the Silverfang Pack."I stood before the Council, my sore back from the shove Blaze had given me, my body still vibrating with the aftereffects of my surprise heat. Micah stood next to me, his hand on my arm, a comforting anchor.You shall desiginate the bond cycle," Theon said, his gaze never wavering. "Immediately. You shall be taught to desiginate your Omega behaviors and cooperate with the Alphas to whom you are bonded. If not, you shall instantly lose all rank and protection at Mooncrest. You shall be an unranked Omega, subject to the pack and, in specific, subject to the mercy of your bonded Alphas.A gasp made its way through the hallway. Robbed of rank. It was a worse condition than banishment. It meant I'd be below a slave."Elder, this is barbaric!" Marla

CHAPTER 8

The silence in my new room was a lie. It wasn’t silent at all. The thin walls of Alpha Row vibrated with the presence of four powerful Alphas, their scents seeping through every crack, their emotions a constant, overwhelming hum in my mind. Blaze’s simmering rage, Kai’s cold calculation, Zane’s frantic energy, and Ash’s suffocating possessiveness—they were all here, just beyond my door, a constant reminder of my new prison.I paced the small room, clenched fist. The small bed was hostile, the scent overpowering with the unfamiliar scent of their mastery. There was no way out from them, not here.A soft click on the door halted me. It wasn't a knock this time. It was the unlocking of the lock. My heart thudded against my ribcage.The door creaked open and Zane Valez slipped inside and closed it quietly behind him. His signature sly smile was back, but his eyes, though still holding a glint of that desperate intensity, had a playful sparkle. He was standing before me in loose sleeping p

CHAPETR 9

The air within my room on Alpha Row was heavy and oppressive, charged with the scent of pine and rain and earth, and the strong, acrid smell that seemed to slice through anything – the Alphas. They penetrated even the shut door, their scent a heavy, oppressive weight constantly present. Ash's warning stare of last night still burned behind my eyes. No refuge, he'd promised. No hiding place.I smoothed my hand over the rough blanket on the narrow bed, the same one I'd pretended to sleep on as Ash watched. The shame of being trapped, of being theirs, was a sour taste in my mouth. But beneath the despondency, a glimmer of rebellion remained, lit by Kai's cryptic warning: "You're not ready for what we are." What did that mean? And what had my mother, Lira, known?My gaze came to rest on the small, wrinkled leather-bound book I'd carried in my backpack – my history book. I reached out and grasped it, following the contours of the familiar cover with my thumb. It was something I could hold

CHAPTER 10

"No! Not now, not here!" Rhea's voice was a rent whisper, echoing off the cold tiles of the Alpha Row bathroom. Her hands trembled as she fought with the lock, the metallic click a useless defense against the fire sparking in her abdomen. The scent, sweet and choking, was already escaping, clinging to the air like a siren's call.A low rumble of a growl sounded from the other side. "Rhea? What's happening in there?" Ash's voice, usually so disciplined, had a feral edge. He was already at the door, his scent piercing the thin wood."Keep back!" Rhea pressed against the door, sinking down until she was crouched on the floor. Her body was betraying her, every nerve ending screaming. "Don't come in!"A second voice, closer now, taunting and yet with a threatening edge. "Little Omega, you smell… intoxicating. Are you sure you want us to stay away?" Zane. His laughter was usually light, but this was a low, throaty growl that vibrated through the door."Zane, shut up!" Kai's brusque command
