I was never the girl alphas noticed. Overlooked. Unclaimed. Useful only when someone needed a quiet extra pair of hands. Then Kael Draven saw me. The Alpha of six territories. The most feared wolf alive. The man powerful enough to make entire rooms obey without raising his voice. At the Summit, he passed every beautiful woman waiting for his attention… and chose me. Now I’m living in his estate, sleeping under his roof, drowning in the scent of a man who watches everything I do. He says I’m under his protection. But protection feels dangerously close to possession. Especially when my first heat in years is approaching… And every instinct in him is beginning to break. Because when an omega’s heat calls to her true mate, even the strongest Alpha can lose control.
