Ophelia Vance was supposed to be claimed, not humiliated. At her own bonding ceremony, in front of two packs, her fated mate Alpha Cassian Thorne rejects her — a public, career-ending, soul-shredding rejection dressed up as duty.
What nobody knows: Cassian did it to protect her. What nobody knows twice over: it didn't work.
Cast out and alone, Ophelia discovers she's carrying his child — right as she discovers her own blood isn't what everyone assumed. She isn't just an Omega. She's the last of a bloodline packs have hunted to extinction for a hundred years, and now that bloodline is awake and she can't hide it anymore.
Cassian spent his life being told love is weakness. He's about to learn that losing her is the only weakness that ever mattered.
