Seven years. That’s how long I’ve been a ghost, running from the shadow of the man who owns my very soul.
I was an Omega with nothing—just the biting street chill and seventy-five dollars to my name. When a stranger offered me a million dollars to play the part of a high-society bride, I thought it was my escape. I told myself I could survive the groom.
I was wrong. Jaime Ravencroft wasn’t just a billionaire; he was the North’s most ruthless Alpha, a predator cloaked in ice.
The moment our skin met, the universe fractured. The primal bond snapped into place with a violence that left me breathless. I wasn't just a paid double anymore; I was his fated mate. But a soul-mark is a heavy price for a lie. To save us both from the fallout of my deception, I did the only thing I could: I disappeared.
Now, the past has caught up to me in a Chicago alleyway.
I’m no longer alone. I have a secret with Jaime’s piercing midnight-blue eyes and a failing heart—a heart that only his father’s Alpha blood can pulse life back into.
Jaime hasn't just found me; he has hunted me. The air thickens with his scent—heavy, suffocating, and dripping with a silent, lethal rage. He isn't looking for an apology, and he’s done playing by the rules of high society. He is here to reclaim his territory, his heir, and the Omega who dared to steal his heart and run.
In his eyes, I see a hunger that goes beyond the bond—a dark, consuming obsession that promises no escape.
The substitute has become his singular fixation; this transaction is my only redemption—and my ruin.
