Theodore Heiden always had a plan—become Alpha, marry the perfect Luna and lead his pack without weakness. But that simple plan shatters the night he catches a thief in his home. She’s fast, clever, and barely escapes… but not before leaving behind a scent that marks his downfall.She is an omega, scraping by on the edges of a pack that barely notices her. She only wanted some stolen trinkets to pawn—not the attention of the next Alpha, and certainly not the strange pull she begins to feel whenever he’s near.Theo knows the truth the moment he tracks her down: she’s his fated mate. But an omega? Weak, poor, and invisible? She doesn’t fit the future he built with his beautiful, high-ranking girlfriend.So he keeps the bond a secret.He doesn’t choose her.
