Maya learned early how to make herself smaller. As a plus-size omega, she grew up under laughter that followed her through hallways and silence that taught her she was never meant to be chosen. She was expected to endure, not dream. To accept whatever scraps of kindness came her way.

So when Alpha Damon claimed her, she believed it meant something.

That she had finally escaped being invisible. That love had seen past her body, past her place, and decided she was worth keeping.

She’s wrong.

On the night before she becomes Luna, her mate destroys everything she believed in. His betrayal is cruel. His rejection is worse. And when she runs, she isn’t looking for love. She’s just trying to breathe.

She finds one night of quiet ruin with a stranger named K. A man who looks at her like she is not too much. A man who protects her without asking and takes her without shame. By morning, she leaves, certain it was only a mistake.

Back at the packhouse, the bullying returns. The control tightens. And the Alpha King is coming. Her ex’s uncle. A man feared for his cruelty and power. What Maya doesn’t know is that the man she plans to use to survive is the same man who already claimed her body in the dark.

And when he realizes who she is, he won’t see a weak omega or a girl taught to feel small. He will see something that belongs to him.

And he will not let her go.
