Lira Andaluz has mastered the art of silence. After losing her mother and growing up under the shadow of her father's betrayal, she's built her world around control-meticulous routines, perfect order, and walls too high for anyone to climb.
Now working as a secretary in one of Manila's biggest firms, she finds peace in structure... until Jairo Salcedo steps in as the new CEO-brilliant, ruthless, and maddeningly unreadable.
What begins as a clash of professionalism and pride slowly turns into something neither of them expected: quiet gestures, unspoken care, and the dangerous warmth that threatens to unravel everything she's kept buried.
But love, for Lira, has always been a dangerous thing-and the sea she's learned to calm might just rise again.

Marked by Silence
In a kingdom where power is ruled by blood and scent, love is the most dangerous rebellion. Liora Vayne has spent years on the run, disguising herself with heat suppressants to hide the truth of what she is-an omega in a world that chains her kind to alphas through laws, collars, and cold tradition. All she wants is a life of quiet freedom on the open road. No masters. No bindings. No fate. But fate finds her anyway. When she saves a wounded stranger from the dust-choked roadside, Liora doesn't expect her to be Veyra Halvarin-the kingdom's heir, an alpha general, and the sole survivor of a brutal attempt on the royal bloodline. Charged with warning the court, Veyra insists Liora escort her to the nearest outpost. Yet as danger stalks closer and Liora's last suppressant begins to fail, the secrets between them deepen-and their pull toward one another grows harder to resist. Together, they'll uncover the rot festering in the heart of the kingdom's court. But while Liora battles the laws that would enslave her, Veyra must choose between duty and desire, tradition and truth. And both must face the pain of a fate that may have bound them long before they ever met. A slow-burn omegaverse fantasy of forbidden love, royal betrayal, and the perilous power of scent, trust, and fate.
