Zarek has always understood his role, an Omega constrained by the unforgiving regulations of the Red Claw pack, merely a pawn in the manipulative games of ruthless Alphas who view him as nothing more than a means to an end. When he is handed over to Alpha Ryker, he is thrust into a tormenting nightmare of domination and suffering, compelled to accept a future he never desired. Everything shifts when Zarek’s true mate steps out from the darkness. Kaidon, a formidable Alpha from the Blood Moon pack, bursts into Zarek’s world, displacing Ryker and claiming him as his own. Zarek’s wolf detects a hint of hope, but the wounds of his past run too deep to easily overlook. Armed with Alpha Kaidon’s steadfast promise of safety, Zarek confronts a decision: to accept the bond that might liberate him, or to escape in order to safeguard the fragments of his broken heart. Still, shadows from both his history and the present refuse to release their grip, with threats lurking in every direction. In a realm where loyalty is scarce and power dictates fate, Zarek must discover his inner strength and learn what it genuinely means to be free. Will he allow Kaidon to be his redemption, or gamble everything to shatter the chains by himself?
View MoreZarek's POV I stayed still, my eyes wide in shock at the statement from my wolf. I’d never heard him speak before, but now, he wouldn’t shut up. “That’s our mate, Zarek! Go to him!” My wolf ordered, but I couldn’t move from the spot I’d been in for the past hour.The Alpha approached me, making me shuffle further into the corner. I didn’t trust the Alpha in front of me, and mate or not, Alphas only ever granted me one thing, and that was pain. “Alpha, they're not surrendering! We’ve basically defeated them, but they’re not backing down!” I heard a familiar voice call.“Leave them. We’ve got what we came here for.” The Alpha surged forward and picked me up despite my whines and attempts to break free. “Good work, Akiri.”Akiri nodded, standing in the doorway to Ryker’s room. “Of course, Alpha,” she said, and my eyes widened in betrayal.I thought Akiri would protect me, but instead, she gave me up to another Alpha. All my life, I’d wanted to find my mate, but now that I was face-to-
Zarek’s POV I had been at Ryker's pack house for over a month now, and today... Today my preheat hit. I had been so careful for the past few weeks, trying to keep myself in check, but I couldn't control the raging fire inside me anymore. I had no idea how my wolf would react during my heat, especially in the presence of an Alpha like Ryker.My wolf, he despised me. I could feel his frustration, his anger, his desperation. Unlike me, he hadn't given up hope. He still wanted to escape, still dreamed of finding our true mate. And then there was me, broken, resigned. I had accepted my fate as Ryker’s. I hated it, but I had no other choice. I couldn’t blame my wolf, though. If I could, I’d leave in a heartbeat. But the truth was, I didn’t know how my body would react. The heat always forced me into submission, and now, with Ryker around, the danger felt even more real. I didn’t want him near me, but I couldn’t escape the pull of his dominance. My wolf wanted to fight back, but I was too
Zarek's POV I was thrown onto the ground in Ryker’s room, the heavier wolf slamming the door behind him. As he shifted back into his human form, his towering presence loomed over me. “Shift,” he ordered, his voice trembling with barely contained anger. I didn’t try to run or fight back. Slowly, I shifted back, wincing as my newly healed wound throbbed with the change. Once I was fully shifted back and completely naked, Ryker didn’t hesitate. He slammed his foot into my chest, catching me off guard. “I gave you very simple instructions,” Ryker growled, grabbing my arm and pulling me up. Ignoring the pained cries that escaped me, he snapped, “Do you remember what they were?” I could only sob and nod, my entire body on fire from pain. I felt my wolf trying to comfort me, but it did no good.Ryker threw me onto the bed and disappeared for a few moments before reappearing with thick ropes from his closet. He tied my arms and legs, slapping me whenever I tried to fight back. Once I wa
Zarek's POV When I woke up, I kept my eyes closed, staying perfectly still. Opening them would mean acknowledging the world, maybe even getting up, and I wasn’t ready for that. Not with the ache radiating through my lower body, a brutal reminder of last night. Every small movement sent stinging waves of pain, especially around the sticky, uncomfortable soreness on my legs and... elsewhere.Alpha Ryker’s arm was still draped over me, his breath soft against my hair. The heat of his body should’ve been comforting, but I felt trapped beneath it. My life had always taught me that, as an Omega, I was meant to find pleasure in serving an Alpha’s needs. I was supposed to feel fulfillment, even joy. But now, all I felt was numb.I'd always been told that pleasing an Alpha, any Alpha, should satisfy me. A lie. The old Alpha hadn’t brought me anything close to satisfaction, even when he muttered empty praises afterward. And here, in this place, I didn’t feel any more whole. It left me with one
Zarek's POV“Zarek, into my office. With immediate effect!”The Alpha’s voice echoed in my mind, sharp and unavoidable, like the crack of a whip. I froze, every muscle tensing in that instinctive response to fear. The call to his office could only mean one thing: punishment or some impossible task that no half-starved Omega could realistically handle. As I approached the Alpha’s office, I noticed the compassionate gazes from those around me. Betas, Omegas, and even some Alphas shared looks of sympathy with their eyes. Our pack, the Red Claw, seemed formidable to outsiders, yet internally, it was a nightmare. The Alphas and Betas were warriors out of necessity, and those who resisted faced a brutal fate. As for us Omegas, our sole purpose was to serve and reproduce.The Alpha governed us through intimidation. Those who dared to oppose him faced torture, forced to witness the deaths of their loved ones, followed by their own execution. Alphas held authority here, while Omegas like me w
