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?

"Where are we going?" I asked for what must have been the tenth time as Lucian led me deeper into the forest, my hand clasped firmly in his.


"It's a surprise," he replied, the same answer he'd given me all morning. His eyes sparkled with excitement as he glanced back at me. "Just trust me."


Trust. Such a simple word, yet so complicated between us. But I did trust him now—more than I ever thought possible again.


"We've been walking for nearly an hour," I pointed out, stepping over a fallen log. "Is this surprise in another territory?"


He laughed, the sound echoing through the trees. "Impatient, aren't we? We're almost there."


The forest had grown denser, the trees taller and older. This was a part of Midnight Sun Pack territory I'd never explored before. The morning sunlight filtered through the canopy above, creating dappled patterns on the forest floor.


"Listen," Lucian said suddenly, stopping in his tracks.
