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?

I slammed my fist against my locker, the metal denting under the impact. The hallway fell silent as everyone froze, staring at me.


"What the hell are you all looking at?" I growled.


The crowd scattered instantly, their fear thick in the air. Good. I needed space.


"Dude, what's wrong with you today?" Elias asked, leaning against the lockers beside me.


I ignored him, pulling my books out roughly. The image of Gareth hugging Aria yesterday kept replaying in my mind like a twisted film I couldn't turn off. What bothered me most was how happy she looked—smiling up at him like he was some kind of hero.


"Earth to Lucian," Elias waved his hand in front of my face.


"Nothing's wrong," I muttered, slamming my locker shut.


Behind us, Gareth and Xavier approached, deep in conversation.


"So you're actually bringing the omega to your party?" Xavier asked, eyebrows raised.
