As a rare male Omega, Ian is constantly tormented by the pack's Alpha. When his father decides to sell him to a foreign pack to settle gambling debts, Ian cuts out his own glands, disguises himself as a Beta, and escapes into the Shadow Pack, seeking only to survive in obscurity.
A full moon upheaval changes everything. Standing in for a friend, he collides with Cassian, the cursed and feral Alpha whom no one can soothe.
The berserk Alpha Cassian pins him down, and Ian's deadened body erupts with overwhelming Omega instincts. Their perfect compatibility miraculously quells the thousand-year curse.
At dawn, Ian flees in panic. But Cassian has engraved that scent into memory and vows to tear the entire territory apart to find his fated one.
One searches with mad obsession. The other hides with every ounce of strength. The glands are destroyed, but instinct can no longer be concealed.
