The rules are simple: No permanent marks. No claiming. No exceptions. But rules mean nothing when desire tastes like possession and obsession feels like destiny. Zion knows twelve hours will never be enough. Evangeline knows surviving him may cost more than freedom ever could. In a world where power is currency and obedience is survival, the price of an omega might just be blood, betrayal, and the surrender of everything they thought they were. Welcome to The Sanctuary. Where once you step inside, there's no walking away unscarred.
