In a world ruled by hierarchy and bloodlines, Vegas is an omega born into the wrong expectations. Constantly compared, endlessly dismissed, and used as a pawn in his father's hunger for power, Vegas has learned to survive through silence, strategy, and the quiet presence of Pete - the stray alpha he once saved, who's never stopped saving him in return. Now, with an unwanted suitor closing in and his father's patience running thin, Vegas is offered a chance at something more: a selection for Porsche, a young, rising pack leader whose power comes not from wealth, but from loyalty and earned respect. It's an opportunity - one Pete fought for behind the scenes - and possibly the only way out. But nothing in Vegas' life has ever been freely given. With time running out, secrets between them rising, and affection blurring into something deeper, both Pete and Vegas must gamble everything - pride, freedom, and trust - to rewrite the ending they've been handed.
