In a world where instincts are catalogued and biology is destiny, Calla Dorian lives a lie. Registered as a beta, she's spent years suppressing every trace of the omega she truly is - the softness, the scent, the vulnerability that could destroy her quiet, carefully built life.
But when her brother becomes the prime suspect in a brutal crime, everything unravels. Enter Detective Sebastian Drummond - an alpha with a reputation for being relentless, merciless, and always right.
Sebastian can smell deceit a mile away, and something about Calla doesn't add up. The more she resists him, the more he pushes - until his investigation turns personal, and his determination relentless. He wants her DNA, convinced it will prove her brother's guilt. She refuses, terrified it'll expose her as prey in a city that devours Omegas.
He's the alpha who won't stop chasing her. She's the omega who can't afford to be caught.
What begins as a battle of wills becomes something darker, hotter, impossible to ignore. But when the predator starts to suspect the prey isn't what she seems, the line between interrogation and obsession blurs.
Enemies by circumstance. Bound by instinct.
