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

Early the next morning, I leave Lucian snoring quietly as I slip out of the bedroom and make my way downstairs.

Although I'm back in the sweats my father hates, I'm hoping I'll have just enough time to apologize to Zia and then change before he emerges from his room.

The fact that his door is still closed is a relief. If he's still sleeping, then I have more time, because I know he won't come down until he's showered and fully dressed.

At the foot of the stairs, I hear Kael talking quietly, but since I'm not hearing a response at a volume to equal his, I'm guessing the female murmur is Lucy, his mate, and he's speaking with her on the phone.

Ivan and Helena are silent, which, at six in the morning, probably means my father kept them up late with some task or training exercise so they're still sleeping.

As She Always Wanted
