About this ebook
Elara Voss had spent her entire life as Ironwood’s weakest omega—mocked, dismissed, and barely able to shift. When the ruthless Alpha of Blackthorn demanded a political mating alliance, her own Alpha offered her up without hesitation. No one would miss the broken wolf. One year of public compliance, then she would be discarded.
Alpha Darian Blackthorn never planned to choose her. Something in her quiet scent stopped him cold the moment she was shoved forward. He took the overlooked omega under a cold, temporary contract and told himself the arrangement was pure politics.
He was wrong.
The mate bond snapped into place the first night—raw, absolute, and unwanted. Darian rejected it on the spot, determined to keep the connection incomplete. But every day the distance grew harder to maintain. Pack enemies circled. A traitor moved inside Blackthorn’s ranks. And the “weakness” Elara had carried her whole life began to crack, revealing a power deliberately buried in her bloodline generations ago.
What began as a disposable political solution becomes a fight for survival, dominance, and a bond neither of them can keep denying. Because some contracts are written to be broken…
And some are written to last forever.
