Lenora, an orphaned omega, has always known her place: at the bottom of the pack, toiling away in the kitchen while enduring constant insults. Headstrong and unyielding, she often speaks up for what is right—earning her the ire of her packmates, especially the ruthless Lycan King, Jax, and his confidante, Claire.

On her twenty-first birthday, Lenora’s life takes an unexpected turn when she discovers that Jax is her fated mate. But instead of joy, the revelation brings humiliation. Jax, embarrassed by their bond, demands secrecy and rejects her outright. When a cruel setup orchestrated by Claire forces Jax to banish Lenora and her closest friend, Noah, tragedy strikes, leaving Lenora shattered and determined to abandon her werewolf roots.

Haunted by his actions, Jax tries to bring Lenora back, but she is no longer the omega he once disregarded. Found and manipulated by Jax's estranged brother, Luke—a vengeful outcast—Lenora must navigate a web of lies, uncovering truths about her mate and the dark secrets that threaten to tear the pack apart.

As power struggles ignite and betrayal cuts deep, Lenora must rise above the chaos to protect what remains of her heart and her pack. But when love and revenge collide, will Lenora and Jax find their way back to each other, or will their bond be forever broken?

The Lycan king

There was no one coming after me.

It couldn't even happen when they were set for trial today. I felt a lot of relief when Jax announced it. So much relief that I nearly jumped in joy but I knew it was too insensitive. Not when Jax was grieving. He was trying his best to act strong, like he wasn't hurting but I could tell.

He was finding it hard to fully connect with us anymore. He was physically present but not emotionally. It was even worse as he had to make a decision on the type of death they were going to receive.

He ended up with a public death. To show everyone that he was still in charge and no one should cross him. I think it was also a gesture to prove to me that he meant everything in his coronation rites. Going through with this trial was enough to prove to me.
