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

Connall's face turns white. With rage, I think, until he speaks. "It wasn't my fault."

"You always put her last, that's if you remembered to think about her at all. You abandoned me as well as your pack when you couldn't deal with the guilt. Now that you want something from me, you're here. Leave. Now. Everything I want and will ever need is right here."

Anger and pain flare hot and bright inside Connall. As I watch it rise, I squeeze Lucian's hand and wait for the inevitable explosion.

What I'm not expecting is for Connall to turn around and walk away.

"You're bleeding." My father's words draw my gaze from the retreating figure.

I find his eyes on my hands with their torn and broken nails. He's not the only one who's noticed them. Zia is hovering near the back door of the house, and from her position, she looks like she was getting ready to run if the situation deteriorated any further.
