In a world where power is everything, the strong rule, and the weak are bound by their mark.
Desperate for freedom-or death-Asher, an omega who has known only pain and abuse at the hands of his alpha, flees into the night. Unexpectedly, he stumbles into the dangerous territory of Rylan, the powerful alpha heir of a neighbouring pack.
Rylan has sworn never to mark another, haunted by his father's brutal legacy and the suffering his mother endured. But instincts override vows when Asher crosses his path during a dangerous rut. In one moment of weakness, Rylan binds Asher to him with a single, fateful bite.
Now, marked and forever tied to an alpha who never wanted a mate, Asher faces a new kind of imprisonment. The pack sees him as nothing more than Rylan's possession, while Rylan struggles with the guilt of claiming someone. Their lives spiral into a game of dominance, control, and forbidden attraction, as Rylan fights to keep his position within the pack, and Asher fights for his freedom.

He was a beast. Composed of nothing but sheer brutality, masculinity and power. A mate was the last thing on his mind. . . until he laid his eyes on her.
