"Say something" he whispered. "..." I opened my shaky mouth to speak but nothing came out of it. I watched as he moved closer to me, closed his eyes and sniffed my scent. My heart palpitated as I saw him gulp down nothing. With him a few inches from me, he raised my chin, making sure that I was staring right back at him. "I love your scent" he confessed. His gruff and domineering voice echoed in my ears like a lullaby that made my knees weak. "Let's strike a deal Olivia" he paused and lightly ran his hand through my hair.

They told me I was a prize, a f*ck*ng decorative little Omega to be dressed in silk, drugged into silence, and handed over to a monster in a three-piece suit. They were f*ck*ng wrong. I didn't just leave my wedding at the altar; I left the groom gasping for air with a ceremonial dagger in his gut.

But if he thinks he’s taking me back to that cage, he’s going to have to go through three Alphas who have forgotten how to follow the rule and one f*ck*ng Omega who has finally learned how to bite. They wanted a doll, but can they handle a f*ck*ng rebellious Omega wolf?
