A deaf/mute FMC and a pack dynamic driven by scent, heats, knots, and bonding reshape alliances and desires. The story centers on emotional intensity, physical abuse and torture, and the constant risk that stepping into a new bond may change a pack forever.","[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nCopyright © 2026 by Shannon Riley All rights reserved.  \nNo part of this book may be reproduced in any form or by any electronic or mechanical means, including information storage and retrieval systems, without written permission from the author, except for the use of brief quotations in a book review.  \nEditor-BLD Editing  \nCover art-The Bloodied Soul Creative Art by-Azurityart  \nChapter header/breaks by-Zoe Holland  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nMORGAN  \nI sleep, breathe and live darkness. I don’t speak. I can’t hear. All I know is the pain my masters give me.  \nCALLAN  \nA deal with the devil has landed me in an auction ring to the rich and depraved, and I’ve been sold to a new player with desires for pain and torture. I wish for the end, but when the master’s favourite toy is thrown into my arms, I no longer wish for death to take me.  \nNot unless she joins me.  \nERIN  \nBlood and fear paint these walls. We were here to find Mason’s sister, but instead, all we found were empty cages. Someone tipped them off. My alpha’s despair ripples through our bond, but the moment a twist of lemon and sweet caramel calls to my alpha, I  \nfalter.  \nWhat if what I step towards changes my pack forever?  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nAuthor’s Note &Disclaimer  \nAs always, I write with a mix of British and Australian dictionaries.  \nThis story flips between character POVs regularly. This is to make sure we get the full 360 degrees of what’s happening, as our FMC is deaf/mute.  \nIs this your first Omegaverse? How exciting! Be ready for growly alphas, slick-covered thighs, knots and heats.  \nLet me give you a quick rundown of the basics if you’ve never dipped your toe into the world of an Omegaverse. They can vary from author to author, but this is the basic ins and outs to help you dive right in.  \nThis society is based on the hierarchy of Alpha, Beta and Omega. Physically, they fall into one of three designations that determine biological characteristics and personality traits.  \nAlphas are larger, usually taller, and are the most dominant. They have a knot at the base of their penis to claim an Omega with. They also have the ability to bark, which is a command that less dominant alphas, betas and omegas are forced to obey.  \nBetas have fainter scents. They are more like an everyday human, and do not have a knot.  \nOmegas are the rarest. They’re smaller than alphas. Their physiology forces them into heats, and at these moments, only an alpha can soothe the pain caused without an alpha’s knot. An omega’s scent is strongest when in heat as they perfume when turned on or attracted to an alpha or beta. Omegas can only be bred during these heat cycles.  \nScent Marking is when one purposely leaves their scent on another, claiming them.  \nA scent-match is a highly compatible mate. Their scents appeal to their matches like the smell of a storm before it hits.  \nBonding between an omega and a pack is when alphas each bite the omega, and then the omega bites them in return, forming a psychic link between the pack. Betas can join and also share a bonding bite, but the bond is usually weaker. A pack can be made up of a mix of alphas and betas, and usually only has one omega.  \nBiting alphas can share a pack bite with their packmates before finding their omega, choosing their pack, but most packs don’t feel complete without an omega.  \nPlease note that this book contains different forms of sign language.
