A born omega without a pack, he’s running out of time in a town where lone wolves don’t survive for long. Hunters circle. Predators watch. Protection isn’t optional, it’s necessary. Across the forest moves Aureys Blackmore — a born alpha who rejects packs, despises dependence, and has never bowed to anyone. He would never take an omega. Especially not one who smells like temptation. In Beacon Hills, instinct is law. And mercy is rare.
