The Omega Alpha (ManxMan)

Six years ago, Omega Derek lost his Destined Mate in a brutal murder that shattered his heart-and since then, he's sworn never to love again. As the wereworld's first Omega Alpha, Derek has devoted himself to leading the Raven Wolves Pack with strength and discipline, building a reputation that commands respect in a world that sees his kind as weak.

But one werewolf refuses to stay away: Supreme Alpha Jericho Belmont-ruthless, powerful, and impossibly alluring.

Jericho Belmont has earned his title with blood and sacrifice. He has everything: power, influence, beauty, and the entire wereworld in the palm of his hand. Everything... except Derek. Their first encounter six years ago left a mark neither of them could forget. There's something about the defiant, fire-hearted Omega that makes Jericho's blood run hot and awakens a hunger he can't suppress. Jericho wants Derek. Needs him. And when fate puts the Omega Alpha in the wrong place at the worst time-witnessing a murder that could bring down all that Jericho had worked for-he sees a dangerous opportunity.

To protect him, to possess him, and maybe... to finally claim him.

Derek is given one impossible choice: Die, or become the Supreme Alpha's Mate.

Forced into a bond he never wanted, Derek must navigate the treacherous world of werewolf politics, desire, and a Mate he can't bring himself to trust-but can't seem to resist. As secrets unravel and their past ignites into scorching passion, Derek must decide: will he fight for freedom... or surrender to his Mate?
