Sarah Tribus

Aurora always thought she was just another girl in the pack—until her 16th birthday flips her world upside down. She’s an Omega, and in her ruthless pack, that’s not a blessing—it’s a transaction. Now she’s marked as rare and valuable... but only in the worst ways. With her freedom stripped and choices stolen, Aurora is thrown into a brutal system where her worth is measured by the packs that want to claim her. But quiet doesn’t mean weak, and Aurora is about to show everyone exactly what she’s made of. When the world tells her to kneel, will she rise instead?

Now, seven years later, they’re back in her world—older, darker, and twice as tempting. Their arrogance is still there, but so is something new flickering behind those wicked eyes. Desire. Challenge. A dangerous game she swore she’d never play again. She tells herself she should walk away, but the truth is she’s never been good at resisting them—or the delicious kind of chaos they bring.

Every stolen glance chips at her resolve, every dangerous word pulls her deeper into the storm. She knows it’s reckless to search for softness in someone built of shadows, but her heart won’t listen. The lines between fear and longing blur until she can’t tell where danger ends and desire begins. Survival demands distance, yet every moment close to him feels like a secret she’s not ready to give up. Is she falling for her captor—or is she just losing herself?
