She trades her freedom for her family’s survival—then learns the price is paid in blood, not coin.
Cora arrives at Shadowed Stone for a simple arrangement: she becomes the pack’s omega bride, and her family is spared. But Alpha Theron doesn’t offer sanctuary without a claim. One command. One cut of an obsidian blade. One blood pact that snaps shut around her life.
Under a blood-red moon, three other alphas circle in with their own temptations—Liam’s dangerous gentleness, Rhys’s brutal intensity, Damon’s wicked games—while Theron’s rule tightens like a collar. They call it a mating hunt. A courtship. A tradition.
Cora calls it a beautiful cage… and a war waiting to happen.
Because Shadowed Stone isn’t just hungry for an omega. It’s desperate for what she could become: the bond that holds a fractured pack together, or the spark that ignites it into ruin. To survive, Cora must decide what she’ll surrender—and what she’ll take—before the hunt ends and the final claim is made.
