Description
Jade Rockford knows the cost of survival better than anyone. Raised among powerful Alphas, the omega assassin has been honed into a lethal weapon, driven by a singular, burning need for vengeance. For years, he looked to Aaiden, the head of the Rockford clan, as his North Star—the one shadow in his violent life that promised safety. But when a mission goes sideways, that protective bond curdles into a suffocating cage.
Aaiden shadows Jade’s every step, his fierce, domineering presence turning into a source of friction. He claims he’s playing the protector, but Jade knows the truth: Aaiden is terrified. While he is prepared to incinerate the world to keep Jade breathing, he refuses to bridge the final gap and claim him completely. For Jade, this restraint isn't mercy—it’s a challenge.
Trapped in a web of forced proximity and volatile tension, Jade craves more than just Aaiden’s oversight; he hungers for his absolute surrender. As his heat approaches and ruthless enemies circle the pack, the lines between control and devotion blur. Will Aaiden finally break his own iron-clad rules, or will his refusal to claim his omega destroy them both?
