Bistas_She

Cassia Phoenix always dreamed her mate would be her refuge—the one to give her the home she never had, the life she craved. But fate is cruel, and dreams are lies wrapped in pretty promises.

When she finally finds her mate, it’s not salvation. It’s a sentence. 

He’s already claimed by another, and she's nothing more than a mistake he’s determined to erase. Every day, he reminds her that she is unwanted. Unworthy. Unloved.

Being an omega, She spent her life on the fringes of her pack, invisible and expendable. But this? This is worse. 

So she runs.

To Winter Lake, a place that shouldn’t exist, where the rules of the world don’t apply. There, she might find a sliver of peace—if her mate doesn’t hunt her down, and if the powerful alpha of this forbidden pack doesn’t discover the truth about who she is. About what she is.

Staying is dangerous. Impossible, even. But then there’s him. The brown-eyed shifter who saves her from the storm, whose strength and promises make her question everything she thought she knew about fate, loyalty, and belonging. He makes her want to stay. To fight. To believe.

But when she’s spent her entire life running, how does she stop?

Cassia: The Alpha King's Outcast Omega

Despite Lucian's offer to fry up some bacon and call it breakfast, he puts a little more effort into it than that.

After sitting me down at the dining table and refusing to let me help, he sets to work making enough food to feed everyone in his pack, never mind that there's only the two of us eating this late morning meal.

We stuff ourselves with bacon, eggs, waffles, and orange juice. I eat so much that when Lucian suggests we have a nap on the couch, I'm sure he must be a mind-reader as well as the soother of my secret anxieties. A lingering kiss later, we settle on the couch with my head resting on his shoulder and his arms wrapped around me.

Our nap isn't long. From the sun still shining so brightly, I guess only an hour or two passes, but it's just enough for me to feel rested after my disturbed night of sleep.

See You Tonight, Alpha
