Should have never taken the invitation to the Midnight Ball, where masked strangers grope and grind under candlelight, where the scent of omega heat lingers like sin. But I wanted to feel something. Anything. Instead, I found them. Jasper. Cold. Unyielding. The one who takes control. Cade. Arrogant. Ruthless. The one who makes me burn. Elias. Quiet. Deadly. The one who watches from the dark. They smell me before they see me. An omega alone in a den of alphas. And the second their eyes lock on me, I know. I’m prey. A prize to be caught, to be claimed, to ...
