In a ruthless world where Alphas dominate and Omegas are prized possessions, Natalie has spent years masking her true nature with powerful suppressants, surviving alone in the dangerous underbelly of the city.
But when a brutal ambush leaves her vulnerable, she's taken by Ariel Florence-the most feared and cold-blooded Alpha in the criminal underworld. Tall, commanding, and utterly merciless, Ariel scents her instantly: Natalie is his fated mate, the one Omega his primal instincts have hungered for.
He claims her without hesitation, sinking his teeth into her neck and knotting her through the wildfire of her triggered heat, breeding her in raw, possessive ecstasy. Natalie fights the bond with everything she has-she's spent her life running from men like him. Yet the more she resists, the deeper Ariel pulls her into his dark, dangerous world.
As rival packs circle and old enemies resurface, Natalie uncovers the scars beneath Ariel's ruthless facade: a man capable of devastating violence for anyone who threatens what's his-especially her.
Will Natalie surrender to the savage Alpha who has claimed her body and soul, or will the shadows of his empire destroy them both?
