As a “wolfless” Omega at the absolute bottom of the pack hierarchy, my only goal was to build a safe, normal life with my fiancĂ©, Dan.
That illusion shattered the day I came home early from work. I found Dan completely naked, tangled in my bedsheets with my cousin, Laura.
The suffocating stench of their betrayal polluted my home. Dan frantically tried to blame Laura, while she shrieked that they had been sleeping together for months. My sanctuary was destroyed. With no family to turn to, I fled into the night. Heartbroken and desperate for oblivion, I ended up in the office of my terrifying boss, Alpha Kane Cain. Fueled by whiskey and grief, I recklessly surrendered to him, signing a note consenting to whatever he wanted just to make the pain stop.
But the next morning, the blinding pleasure was replaced by pure terror. Kane hadn’t pulled out. In our brutal world, an unmarked, wolfless Omega carrying an Alpha’s child would be cast out and hunted. I panicked, begging him to let me leave, convinced I was just another disposable mistake.
Instead of letting me go, the ruthless Alpha’s eyes darkened with a terrifying, primal possessiveness. He pulled out the note I had signed in my drunken haze.
“You gave me this power, little wolf,” he growled, ordering his men to move my belongings to his estate. “Don’t pretend you can take it back now.”

The scent of cedar and winter frost was suffocating. It always was when Alpha Kane Cain was in one of his moods, which, lately, was every single day.
For the past two months, my life as his executive secretary at Cain Industries had been a living hell. He was a tyrant. He snapped at the slightest delay, his stormy gray eyes tracking my every move with an intensity that made my skin prickle. As a wolfless Omega—the absolute bottom of the Blackwood Pack’s hierarchy—I had no inner wolf to shield me from his crushing authority.
“Take the rest of the afternoon off, Fallon,” Kane suddenly growled, not looking up from his laptop. His jaw was clenched so tight I thought his teeth might shatter.
I blinked, clutching my tablet. “Alpha?”
“Leave. Now.” The raw, suppressed aggression in his voice left no room for argument.
I didn’t hesitate. I endured his volatile temper only because the salary was unmatched, and the pack-run crèche in the building was the perfect safety net for the future I was trying to build.
An hour later, the Alpha’s private driver dropped me off at my townhouse on the Pack Lands. The unexpected half-day felt like a rare gift. I could prepare a romantic dinner, surprise my fiancĂ©, Dan, and maybe finally wash away the lingering anxiety of my boss’s oppressive aura.
I unlocked the front door and stepped into the small foyer.
“Dan?” I called out softly, slipping off my heels.
Silence. But as I took a breath, a wave of nausea violently twisted my stomach.
Even without an inner wolf, my senses were sharp enough to recognize the stench polluting my home. It was thick, musky, and undeniably foul—the heavy, unmistakable scent of raw lust. It was Dan’s scent, tangled and twisted with something cloyingly sweet.
Laura. My cousin. My roommate.
My heart slammed against my ribs. No. It can’t be.
A muffled sound drifted from the second floor. A giggle. A low, guttural groan.
The blood drained from my face, replaced by an icy, paralyzing dread. My gaze dropped to the aluminum baseball bat leaning against the wall near the door—a precaution I kept for stray Rogues. My hand trembled as my fingers wrapped around the cold metal grip.
I didn’t call out again. I moved silently, my bare feet making no sound on the wooden stairs. With every step, the sickening cocktail of their intertwined scents grew stronger, suffocating the faint, natural smell of wild lilies that usually lingered in my home.
I reached the upstairs hallway. The door to the master bedroom—my bedroom—was half-open.
Laura’s breathless, shameless laughter echoed through the narrow gap, followed by the unmistakable sound of skin slapping against skin.
My breath hitched in my throat. My grip on the bat tightened until my knuckles turned stark white. I raised my hand and pushed the door wide open.
They didn’t even notice me at first. They were completely naked, a tangle of sweating limbs writhing in the center of my bed, crushing the sheets I had washed just yesterday.

I stood in the doorway, paralyzed not by the sight of their tangled, naked bodies, but by the suffocating stench in the room. The scent of their intertwined lust was like rotting flowers and sour musk, a heavy, sickening cloud that completely overpowered the faint, natural smell of wild lilies I worked so hard to keep in my home. It was a visceral, olfactory betrayal that turned my stomach far more violently than the visual shock.
They scrambled apart like roaches caught in the light. Dan practically threw himself backward, frantically grabbing at the tangled bedsheets to cover his groin. His face was pale, his eyes wide with pure, unadulterated terror.
Laura, however, was different. After her initial gasp of shock, she pulled a pillow over her chest. As she looked at me, the panic in her eyes melted away for a fraction of a second, replaced by a subtle, almost imperceptible smirk. A fleeting look of triumph.
I didn’t scream. I didn’t cry. I just stood there, my bare feet rooted to the hardwood floor, staring at them with a cold, analytical detachment. My fingers gripped the cold aluminum of the baseball bat so tightly my knuckles ached.
“Fallon,” Dan choked out, his voice cracking. He stumbled forward, ignoring the fact that the sheet had slipped, leaving him exposed. “Fallon, baby, wait. It’s not what it looks like. It was just a mistake. A stupid, meaningless one-time mistake.”
As the words left his mouth, his right eyebrow twitched upward. It was a nervous tic he had whenever he lied—a quirk I used to find endearing when he was trying to hide a surprise gift. Now, it was just pathetic.
I took a deliberate step back and raised the bat, pointing the metal tip directly at him. The sheer proximity of his tainted scent made my throat close up.
“Don’t touch me,” I said, my voice eerily steady, devoid of any tremor. “Once is enough.”
Dan froze, his hands raised in a placating gesture. The realization that his usual charm wasn’t going to work sparked a desperate, ugly panic in him. His survival instinct kicked in, and he immediately looked for a scapegoat.
He whipped his head toward Laura, pointing an accusing finger at her. “It was her! She threw herself at me, Fallon! She seduced me while you were at work!”
The fragile alliance between the cheaters shattered instantly. Laura’s face twisted in outrage. She dropped the pillow, no longer caring about modesty.
“Seduced you?” Laura shrieked, her voice grating against my ears. “You spineless coward! You’ve been crawling into my bed for months! Ever since you moved into this townhouse, Dan!”
“Shut up, Laura!” Dan roared, his face flushing a dark, ugly red.
He turned back to me, opening his mouth to spin another lie, but I didn’t let him. I stepped forward and pressed the cold, hard end of the baseball bat firmly against the center of his bare chest. He gasped, his back hitting the edge of the mattress.
“Whether it’s once or a hundred times, the result is exactly the same,” I said, my voice dropping to a deadly whisper. “But you were the one who put a ring on my finger, Dan. You were the one who made a promise to me. The blame is on you.”
I didn’t wait for his response. The absolute truth of their months-long deception settled over me like a shroud of ice, freezing whatever love I had left for him. I lowered the bat, turned my back on the pathetic scene, and walked out of the bedroom.
I moved mechanically, descending the wooden stairs in silence. When I reached the foyer, I grabbed the small overnight suitcase I kept packed for last-minute business trips and the heavy leather briefcase containing my work for Cain Industries. This space, once my sanctuary, now felt like a contaminated crime scene.
Just as my hand wrapped around the brass knob of the front door, the screaming upstairs escalated.
“You ruined everything!” Dan bellowed, the sound echoing down the stairwell. “Did you know she was coming back early today? Did you set this up, Laura?!”
“No! I swear I didn’t!” Laura sobbed, though the memory of her wicked smirk flashed in my mind.
Dan’s accusation echoed in my head. Did you set this up?
The thought that my own cousin might have orchestrated this entire agonizing discovery made the betrayal infinitely darker. It wasn’t just infidelity; it was a malicious, calculated attack.
I didn’t hesitate for another second. I turned the knob, pushed the door open, and stepped out into the cool evening air, pulling the door firmly shut behind me.

Fallon POV
The cool evening air hit my flushed face the moment I stepped off the porch, but it did nothing to wash away the sickening stench of Dan and Laura’s betrayal clinging to my memory. My hands shook violently as I pulled out my phone and used the Pack’s internal app to summon a car service.
Minutes later, I slid into the back of a black SUV. The heavy door shut, sealing me in a quiet, leather-scented cocoon. Almost instantly, my phone screen lit up, vibrating aggressively against my palm.
Dan.
I stared at his name, my chest tightening with a fresh wave of agony. I hit mute and tossed the phone into my leather briefcase. It didn’t stop. The muffled buzzing continued relentlessly against the lining of the bag, a pathetic rhythm of his panic. I leaned my head against the cold, tinted window, watching the glowing lights of the Blackwood Pack lands blur as silent tears finally spilled over my lashes. I had nowhere to go. No family to turn to. The only sanctuary my shattered mind could conjure was the one place where chaos was strictly forbidden.
Cain Industries.
The towering glass-and-steel headquarters was a silent beast in the night. The lobby was empty save for the Pack Warrior guards, who gave me a confused nod as I bypassed them and took the private elevator to the top floor.
When the doors parted, I walked straight into Alpha Kane Cain’s office.
The moment I crossed the threshold, his scent—a sharp, intoxicating blend of cedar and winter frost—wrapped around me. Usually, his lingering aura made my skin prickle with the instinctual fear of a wolfless Omega. Tonight, it felt strangely grounding.
But the pain in my chest was a living, breathing thing, clawing at my ribs. I needed it to stop.
Dropping my bags by the door, I marched over to Kane’s private mahogany bar. I didn’t bother with a glass. I grabbed a heavy crystal bottle of his most expensive Scotch, popped the cork, and took a long, desperate pull. The amber liquid burned like liquid fire down my throat, making me cough, but the searing heat was exactly what I needed to numb the cold void inside me.
Suddenly, the private line on Kane’s massive desk began to ring.
I stared at it, the alcohol already buzzing warmly in my veins, stripping away my usual cautious restraint. I picked up the receiver.
“Kane, darling?” a sickly sweet, heavily perfumed voice purred through the speaker. “It’s Krystal. You haven’t returned my calls. I know you’re working late again…”
The sheer entitlement in her voice—the assumption that she had a right to someone else’s time and loyalty—snapped the last frayed thread of my sanity. It sounded too much like Laura.
“He’s not here,” I said, my voice dripping with a venom I didn’t know I possessed.
There was a sharp intake of breath on the other end. “Excuse me? Who is this? Put the Alpha on the phone right now.”
“Maybe he’s busy finding a mate who won’t bore him,” I snapped, slamming the receiver down so hard the plastic cracked.
A twisted, sick sense of satisfaction flared in my chest, immediately followed by a wave of self-loathing. I was losing my mind. I took another reckless gulp of the Scotch, turning my back to the desk to stare out the floor-to-ceiling windows at the sprawling city below.
I didn’t hear the elevator. I didn’t even hear the heavy oak doors open.
But suddenly, the air in the room was sucked away. The ambient scent of cedar and frost exploded into a suffocating blizzard of pure, dominant Alpha power.
I spun around, nearly dropping the bottle.
Kane stood in the doorway. His broad chest was heaving slightly, his suit jacket discarded, and his tie loosened. His stormy gray eyes locked onto me with a terrifying intensity, tracking the tear stains on my cheeks and the half-empty bottle in my hand.
A wolfless Omega should have dropped to her knees under the sheer weight of his presence. But the whiskey and the heartbreak had made me reckless.
He crossed the massive room in three long, silent strides. Without a word, his large, warm hand wrapped around the neck of the bottle, prying it effortlessly from my trembling fingers. He set it on the desk with a heavy thud.
I tilted my head back to meet his furious gaze, my vision swimming slightly.
“You’re an arrogant bastard, Kane,” I slurred, the words tumbling out before I could stop them.
I braced myself for his wrath, for the crushing weight of his Alpha command. But the anger I expected never came. Instead, his jaw clenched, and a storm of unrecognizable emotions—worry, a dark, primal possessiveness, and a flicker of raw pain—swirled in his gray eyes as he stared down at me.
