Clymene is caught between two alpha heroes, both willing to break the heavens to claim her. Sarpedon, the commanding general, has been destined as her mate.

Knot surrendering by ActiveBrains2

Kyra is the leader of the Elementals and the general of their army, a fierce advocate for their rights. In a world where Elementals are bound by oppressive laws, she's a symbol of strength, never allowing her omega nature to show. Vulnerability isn't an option. But when her senses draw her to her scent matches, will she let herself surrender and embrace who she truly is-or continue to fight alone? Hudson has always fought for Elementals, driven by memories of friends taken to brutal training centers. As an alpha working undercover in the system, he's determined to dismantle it from within, even if it means keeping secrets from those he loves. Grayson, an alpha, dreams of building a pack. Though he's found strong, loyal packmates, the absence of an omega weighs on him. He craves someone who'll trust him wholly, someone to anchor them all. But years of disappointment have pushed him to focus instead on helping other Elementals navigate a hostile world. Ash, a beta, once felt insecure about his designation. But his packmates changed that, showing him unconditional love and trust. Now a skilled mechanic, he's the steady rock of the pack-but he knows they're incomplete. Finding the missing piece to their family has become his quiet hope. Riggs, the stoic alpha, values control above all. A traumatic past taught him how easily everything can fall apart, and now his vigilance protects those he loves. But the idea of welcoming an omega terrifies him-what if he fails to keep them safe? Still, the yearning for connection lingers, no matter how much he tries to bury it. For Kyra and these four men, fate is set in motion. Bonds will form, challenges will rise, and they'll all have to decide: will they let fear hold them back, or risk everything for the pack-and love-they've always longed for?
