Claimed by the Rival Alpha
(2025)(The second book in the O'Donoghue Mafia Omegaverse series)
A novel by Bella Bennet
Enemies. Spies. A forced bond neither of them wanted—until it’s the only thing that can save them.
Tiernan O'Donoghue is a scandal-prone omega heir trying to keep his freedom in a family that sees omegas as political assets. When a heat-triggered panic at his gallery leads him to publicly scent-mark a stranger, his world spirals—and bonds—out of control.
Shea McCrae isn’t who he claims to be.
He’s an alpha spy from a rival mafia family—sent to seduce, betray, and disappear. But when instinct overrides mission, Shea knots Tiernan during a heat… and bonds him permanently.
Now Tiernan is pregnant, Shea is compromised, and the entire O'Donoghue legacy is at risk.
Worse, a shadow syndicate is moving in. The Neutral Ring doesn’t want war—they want heir-blood. And Tiernan’s unborn child is their next target.
If Tiernan and Shea want to survive, they’ll have to do the one thing neither of them trusts: fight for each other.
