Seraphina

Aria Calloway’s life has one golden rule: stay invisible. It’s the only way for an omega like her to survive, especially since her father’s death in a pack war still wakes her up screaming. 
So, it's baggy clothes, fake glasses, and sticking to the shadows, because the last thing she needs is attention from someone like Lucian Monroe.
 He's the Head Alpha’s son, all dangerous charm and campus royalty, basically everything she’s not. 
But a literal collision in the hallway is just the start, and then he even, bizarrely, defends her from his own crew. Things really spiral at her friend Caleb's party. How do you go back to being invisible when the most powerful guy on campus just branded you with a lie, and what happens when the aftermath of that "mistake" is something neither of them can ignore?

"You knew they'd be here." It wasn't a question.


Elias shrugged, taking a casual sip of his whiskey. "Maybe."


I wanted to punch him. And then Gareth. Especially Gareth. The way he touched her so casually, like he had every right to—it made my blood boil.


"Shall we say hello?" Elias suggested, already sliding off his barstool. "It would be rude not to."


Before I could stop him, he was weaving between tables toward them. I had no choice but to follow, my fingers curled into fists at my sides.


Gamma Alaric spotted us first, his expression immediately guarded. He stood, ever the picture of authority and control.
