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?

My claws retracted as I forced the shift back, my rage still boiling beneath my skin. I needed answers. I needed confirmation.


I stormed back into the pack house, not bothering to knock as I pushed open the door to my mother's study.


"Mom." My voice was barely human, rumbling with the growl of my wolf.


She looked up, startled. "Lucian! You scared me. What's wrong, sweetheart? You look terrible."


"The wedding," I said through clenched teeth. "Gareth and Aria's wedding. Is it true?"


A smile bloomed across her face. "Oh! You heard! Yes, isn't it wonderful? I was just on the phone with Diana discussing the plans."


"They want to have it as soon as possible. Next week, if we can manage it." She tilted her head, studying me. "Lucian, are you feeling alright? You look pale."


"Next week?" I repeated, my voice hollow.
