What is the price of being perfect? The reward for being the 'perfect' daughter...? For omega werewolf Iris Vale, perfection isn't a goal—it's a prison. Silence is safety, obedience is survival, and her own wild instincts are locked away as shameful secrets. But when her family arranges her future with a powerful, ideological pack, the carefully crafted doll begins to crack from the inside. Enter Rowan Blackmoor—a disgraced alpha exiled for his honesty, his intensity, and the storm he carries within. He doesn't want her submission; he challenges it. His presence is a mirror, showing Iris the ghost of the self she was forced to abandon. And for the first time, her wolf begins to stir, not with fear, but with longing. But in a society ruled by control, longing is rebellion. And rebellion is watched. Cassian Morholt, an alpha who sees order as sacred and obedience as divine, has already chosen Iris—not as a person, but as proof. Proof that wolves can be tamed. Proof that cages are kind. And he will eliminate anything—or anyone—that threatens to set her free. When Cassian delivers an ultimatum—Rowan’s life in exchange for Iris’s return to her silent, perfect cage—Iris must choose between the only love that has ever seen her true self, and the only "safety" she's ever known.
