The last hidden omega of a slaughtered pack is captured by the enforcer who helped burn his home to the ground — and instead of killing him, the enforcer claims him as leverage. But leverage isn't supposed to make you hesitate. And it's definitely not supposed to make you protect what you own. Kai Ashwood has spent five years hiding what he is. Suppressants, silence, a life built small enough not to be noticed. It costs him everything the night a Thornecliff patrol catches the scent under his skin. Renn Vasher is the enforcer who finds him. Chief of the pack that burned Kai's home to the ground. The man who should have handed him over the second he caught his scent and instead breaks five years of discipline to protect him. Now Kai is marked, caged, and living inside enemy territory with a week to accept a claim he never asked for. And Renn is the one man he should hate most, standing closer every day than either of them can afford. The war isn't over. It's just moved into one bedroom. Dark. Slow burn. Enemies to lovers. MM werewolf romance with teeth.
