Lela was seven when her mother was murdered and she was cast out as a worthless Omega. Twelve years later, she returns to Ashfall Pack with a knife, a plan, and a decade of rehearsed hatred for the Alpha who did it. Instead, she finds Cassian bleeding into her hands — and a truth far messier than the one she came for. The real monster isn't the man in front of her; it's the father he's spent his whole life trying to outrun, and the father isn't as dead as everyone believes. As Lela's vengeance unravels into something far more dangerous — love, loyalty, a birthright she never wanted — she has to decide whether justice means killing one man, or refusing to become the weapon he raised her to be.
