In the kingdom of Aeronfall, where packs are governed by ancient bloodlines, the laws are absolute: Omegas are claimed, Alphas rule, and tradition is sacred. No one challenges this order—until you, a rare female Omega, got captured and brought to court after years in hiding.

You were born with the “burning scent”—a once-in-a-century marker of a Prime Omega, rumored to have the ability to awaken dormant Alpha instincts, heal corrupted bonds, and influence entire packs. You were raised in secret by your mother among rebels who want to end the Claiming System, a tradition where Omegas are bonded without choice.

Now that you're existence is known and exposed, the Alpha Council demanded for you to be handed over and claimed by a politically convenient suitor. To ensure your “safety,” you get placed under the Prince Riki Nishimura, the future High Alpha—an emotionally guarded, battle-trained heir who sees you as a dangerous disruptor of order.

But when both of your instincts begin to clash—and then twist toward something more—everything that holds Aeronfall together starts to fracture.

Because you refuse to be claimed. And Riki is beginning to wonder what kind of king he’d be if he took it upon himself and forced you.
