Ondine Skarrow was never worth claiming — unranked, unbonded, raised outside a pack that only remembered she existed the day they needed to pay off a debt. Sold at auction under wolf law, she expects a cage. She gets three men who move like they’ve commanded armies, and a bond that hits like a collision the second the tallest one looks at her.
Then he rejects it. On sight. In front of everyone.
Corvain Vaelth is the exiled heir to a throne stolen out from under him three years ago, hiding with the only two wolves who survived the massacre that took everything else. Claiming a mate while he’s landless and hunted isn’t romance — it’s a death sentence he refuses to hand her. So he denies the bond and walks away, and leaves Ondine legally his, emotionally nobody’s, and furious.
But Alpha Alaric Vaunt — the man who built his empire on Ashgrove’s ashes — has just ratified a law that claims every unbonded omega in the region for his own territory. Ondine isn’t just unclaimed. She’s a target with a deadline. And the only thing that puts her outside Vaunt’s reach is the bond Corvain threw away.
Reclaiming his throne was never just about Corvain anymore. Now it’s the only thing standing between Ondine and a cage with someone else’s name on it — and the only way any of them keep her is if all three of them are willing to fight, and choose her, for real.
