I'm not a stranger to the dark

Alec is tired of his life in Idris. He feels trapped, being the only omega in his village makes him the target of every alpha. Valentine Morgenstern desperately wants Alec and is furious that Alec keeps rejecting him. But he won't stop until Alec is his omega. Magnus was once a beloved prince, but when he refuses to help warlock Lorenzo, he curses Magnus to become a warlock as magic is feared and warlocks are hunted. Magnus is forced to stay alone in his castle to avoid being killed. But when Alec runs to the forest to escape Valentine, Magnus finds himself saving Alec from being claimed.

Lorenzo cursed Magnus so that if he can't find true love in two years, Magnus will remain a warlock. Only an omega can break the curse, but they are extremely rare. Alec is the first omega he has seen in years. Magnus is running out of time and Magnus hopes that Alec could be the one to break his curse. Initially his reasons for saving Alec were selfish, but Magnus begins to care for Alec and truly starts to fall for him.
