Queen Kaelira of Velmora has conquered wars, crushed rebellions, and ruled her kingdom with unmatched Alpha strength. Feared by enemies and worshipped by her people, she believes destiny is nothing more than a weakness disguised as faith. Until a prophecy changes everything. The seers warn her of an Omega from another world — a stranger tied to the future of her throne… and to her heart. Elias never believed in magic, wolves, or alternate realms. One stormy night, he is ripped from his ordinary life and thrown into Velmora — a brutal kingdom ruled by powerful Alphas where survival depends on strength. Alone, hunted, and trapped in a world that sees Omegas as weak, Elias becomes entangled with the last person he should ever trust: The terrifying Alpha Queen herself. But as an ancient bond awakens between them, dark forces begin moving across the kingdoms. Noble families plot rebellion, enemies seek the throne, and an approaching blood moon threatens to tear apart the barrier between worlds. To save her kingdom, Kaelira must choose between duty and the forbidden Omega fate placed in her path. Because loving him may cost her crown. But losing him could destroy both worlds.
