Some scars stay hidden. Some loves refuse to.✨

Tommy Brooks has always been good at running. From trouble, from his past, from the people who cared too much. But when a deal goes bad and a dangerous man with icy blue eyes saves his life, everything changes.

Adrian Ashford isn't just any outlaw. He's a high-ranking strategist in the Daggervine Syndicate, hiding sharp intentions behind tailored suits and a soft spot he shouldn't have. Tommy should've disappeared, but instead he's drawn deeper into Adrian's world.

Now, with the Syndicate hunting them both, Tommy has a choice: keep running, or fight for the only man who's ever made him want to stay.

Tomorrow is his 18th birthday which indicates he will finally be able to find his mate. Throughout his first day as a senior, he found his classes and even made friends on the way. In one of his classes though, English, a conversation started on the topic of the known to be extinct dragon shifters. Even though it got dark, he remained the same and went on about his day. Many people avoided Koa due to him being intimidating. He was known for having a bad temper and getting into many fights for no absolute reason. And surprisingly, he was an omega with the looks and temper of an alpha. Excited to meet his mate, he couldn't wait for the day to end, but little did he know his life would change forever on the day he thought would be his best.
