Maybe finding a true mate isn’t always love at first sight. ***** An omega thief gets thrown out of his clan of criminals after he refuses to save his leader from a debt he can’t pay. Joined by his best friend, these two homeless omegas are trying to stay safe in a dangerous city where the army fights ruthless criminals who hate omegas, but maybe the best way to survive is to find any decent alphas to take care of them, even if they’re not true mates. And the best place to find good alphas is the local mafia. But stepping into the mafia life comes with its own dangers, and their former clan certainly hates seeing them climbing up the lawless social ladder when they were supposed to fail as outcasts, so their hardships are far from over. At least there’s a young alpha, not the prince charming our little thief thought he’d find, but he’s kind of cute, and has kind eyes, so even though this one isn’t his true mate, he decides to give him a chance. But maybe it doesn’t always have to be about love at first sight. Maybe love can bloom where you least expect it – if you give it an opportunity to grow.

Achtzehn Jahre lang hat Vespera geglaubt, die Einsamkeit sei ihr Zuhause. In einer Welt, die sie nie wirklich wollte, hat sie gelernt, Stille zu ertragen und Vertrauen zu meiden. Doch als eine einzige Nacht alles zerstört, was sie kennt, wird sie von zwei Fremden in das Reich Elindros geführt — einen Ort, an dem Magie und Erinnerung, Leben und Tod miteinander verwoben sind. Dort erfährt sie, dass sie das Gefäß eines uralten Wesens ist: des Sonatius Mortaeda, der seit Jahrhunderten über die Seelen Elindros’ wacht. Doch das Geschenk der Macht ist ein Fluch. In den Augen der Elindine ist Vespera nicht mehr als ein Werkzeug — eine Figur in einem Spiel, dessen Regeln sie nicht versteht. Jeder Schritt führt sie tiefer in das Netz aus Lügen, Bestimmung und Verrat. Zerrissen zwischen der Sehnsucht nach Zugehörigkeit und der Angst, sich selbst zu verlieren, muss Vespera entscheiden, welchem Pfad sie folgt. Dem Licht, das sie nie vertraut hat — oder der Dunkelheit, die sie heimlich versteht.

For eighteen years, Vespera has believed that loneliness was her home. In a world that never truly wanted her, she has learned to endure silence and distrust the warmth of others. But when one night shatters everything she knows, two strangers lead her into Elindros — a realm where memory and magic, life and death intertwine. There, she discovers the truth: she is the vessel of an ancient being, the Sonatius Mortaeda, the entity that embodies death itself. Yet the gift of such power is a curse. To the people of Elindros, Vespera is nothing more than an instrument of destiny — a pawn in a game whose rules she cannot see. With every step, she sinks deeper into a web of lies, fate, and betrayal. Torn between the longing to belong and the fear of losing herself, Vespera must decide which path to follow: the light she has never trusted — or the darkness that feels like home.

Kaden got a taste of me, and demands more. I'm soon tossed into a world of jealousy and secrets, all while getting my body programmed to only obey its alpha. Kaden fucks so good, and drives me insane even better. It only takes a few tumbles in bed to realise that we are way in over our heads.

A sob threatened to escape her as she drank in the sight of him. Pulling her back to him, Alejandro placed another kiss on her forehead, his lips lingering there, brushing against her skin as he spoke. “I meant what I said, when I said I took my job seriously. I intend to guard you and your body with my life.”
