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

Lucian glances back at me. His brown eyes, usually warm and filled with amusement, are more serious than I've ever seen them before. When he speaks, his voice is sober. "Cassia is my mate."

The girl turns her still disbelieving gaze to me. She takes in the bite on my neck—Lucian's bite—before lowering her head to take in my rounded belly, made more visible by my thin, white cotton dress.

Minerva takes her hand off my arm and steps forward, the action pulling the girl's gaze away from me. "Perhaps I can get you a drink…?"

"Zia," she murmurs. "No, I don't want a drink." As if she can't help it, she turns back to face Lucian.

It's like watching two people attached by an invisible string, because it isn't only her that turns, but Lucian too.

He stopped her from touching him, but that hasn't stemmed the attraction between them. It's still there, living beneath the surface of their skin.
