Ten years ago, the Blood Moon ritual shattered her. Left kneeling in the sacred grove, consumed by her first heat and abandoned by the Alpha who should have claimed her, she rebuilt her life without him.
Now a healer's apprentice, stronger, wiser, and no longer desperate for validation, she returns to the ritual for closure, not connection.
But when the Alpha who walked away steps once more into the firelight, the bond that never truly broke roars back to life. This time, he offers not dominance, but choice. Not compulsion, but a second chance.
This time, the decision is hers. And kneeling won't mean surrender, it will mean claiming what was always meant to be.
A story of longing, respect, and a love that waited a decade to be chosen.
Autorentext
I write omegaverse short stories (usually 10-15,000 words) across three heat levels.
Surrendered Heart Omegas Series (light pink covers) are sweet, with a little spice, and a guaranteed HEA
Omega Bonded Series (dark pink covers) are darker, steamier, but still end with a HEA.
Mastered by the Alpha Series (Red Covers) are dark, dub-con, and only available on Payhip. The alpha gets his omega in the end, through heat bonding and situational manipulation.
