While my boyfriend, Caleb Lawson, is in the shower, I grab his phone on a whim and drop a message in the group chat he's in with his friends. "Guess who I'm with tonight." I expect them to say my name, but their reply blindsides me. "That freshman who used to chase you when you were a sophomore? She's obsessed with you. She's definitely easier than your girlfriend. Want us to swing by tonight?" My gut tells me he's hiding more than an affair. Just as I start scrolling through his messages with the freshman, a notification from her pops up. "Caleb, I agree to the threesome. I'll do anything you want." Seconds later, another message appears in the group chat. "Just be careful this time. We don't need another body on our hands."

I am the most hated wolf in the Crescent Claw Pack. Branded curses. Shunned for the sins of my bloodline. But fate is cruel. During the Moon Rite, I didn’t find one mate. I found two.

They reject me. Yet the bond refuses to break. Dragged into their world of power and vengeance, I’m forced into a dangerous game where obsession burns hotter than hatred. Their touch makes me weak, their wolves refuse to let me go, and secrets from the past whisper that my curse is more powerful than anyone knows. Two Alphas. One cursed mate. And a prophecy that says I’ll either unite them—or destroy us all.

Alpha Elijah Yellowstone, True Alpha of the Yellowstone Pack, had already come to accept that he would not meet his mate - not in this lifetime, or the next. And it was something that he understood. After all, he had more than his fair share of she-wolves to choose from. There was nothing that he was missing out on. The fact that he did not already have a few pups running around, was a miracle in itself. His pack was not the best - but it was not the worst, either. He had treaties with almost every pack that surrounded him, leaving the only threat to be Rogues. His worries were few and far in between. But of course, all of that changed when he welcomed his new Beta into his pack. He had known, since the beginning, that the Beta had two children. A daughter, in her final year of training, and a son, who was barely old enough to ride a bicycle. Can you imagine the shock that he gets when he realizes that his Beta's daughter is his mate? She is nothing more than a glorified child, and Elijah knows that. And despite the fact that he knew that it was improper for a mating like this to happen, Alpha Elijah finds himself incapable of rejecting his mate - but even so, he refuses to accept her. She is too young, too weak, and he would be signing her up for more trouble than he was worth. Or so he thought...

When omega Lake Sanders' father disappears, leaving behind crushing debts and a five-year-old brother to protect, Lake thinks he's reached rock bottom. But when he attempts to end both their suffering in the cold ocean depths, he's pulled from the water by the most feared alpha in the city—Damien Ramon, the Alpha King himself. At twenty-two, Ramon rules his territory with an iron fist, and Lake's father has just made him the most dangerous offer of all: his omega son as collateral for a two-million-dollar debt. Now Lake faces an impossible choice—become Ramon's personal assistant and work off the debt over decades, submit to being sold to other alphas, or accept the most terrifying option of all: become the Alpha King's mate. But in Ramon's world of power and politics, claiming an omega is easier than keeping him. With rival packs circling, family members scheming, and a dangerous arranged marriage threatening everything, Lake must navigate a web of deadly enemies who see him as nothing more than a gold-digging whore trying to trap their king.

But in a world where omegas are property and alphas take what they want, can love ever truly exist? Or will the very forces that brought them together tear them apart forever?
