Idril
I spent the first two decades of my life locked away, tormented and used. I broke free only to learn I’ve traded one prison for another.
Alphas who dedicate their lives to rescuing innocent Omegas are convinced I’m somehow the only Omega alive capable of the monstrous things they accuse me of. My Mates call me a liar. A traitor. A weapon they can’t trust and don’t understand. They make me suffer for it.
I can’t completely fault them. My blood is being used in horrific experiments led by my own father—the only one who may know who—or what—I really am.
When the truth finally comes to light, the very mates who tried to break me will discover that some things aren’t strong enough to survive their betrayal.

Not even Fate.

Daxen
I’ve spent the last two weeks convincing myself I was right about the Omega. Every tear, every lie, every moment of supposed vulnerability I dismissed as manipulation.
Now my carefully curated beliefs are fraying. Every new truth I uncover reveals another mistake. Another wound. Another reason for Idril to hate me.
When my world shatters, none of the answers I’ve been searching for matter anymore. Not when my entire future depends on answering what has suddenly become the single most important question of my immortal life.

How do I fix what I’ve broken?

Vaelenor
I’ve spent my life running from my curse, doing everything possible not to become the male my parents want me to be.
Then Idril arrived.
For the first time, the constant buzzing under my skin vanished. Even my normally sardonic Alpha instincts turned into a purring puddle of devotion for her.
I should have paid attention to what they were trying to tell me. Instead, I did what I always do.
Nothing.
It’s not until it’s too late that I start to wonder if maybe the real monster was never my curse.

Maybe it’s always been me.

Soren
It starts with a scent. One my beast almost misses beneath the layers of blood-soaked violence still lingering in the air of a recently abandoned property. That scent turns into an obsession. One that leads me to the very last place I expect—a fortress full of blood-thirsty monsters.
My men tell me that what I’m about to do is a mistake.
They might be right.
I should leave. Walk away.
I don’t.

Some mistakes are worth making.

Caelan
For centuries, I’ve trusted in the love and loyalty of the two men I call brothers. We were the lucky ones, a rare Bonded Pack, blessed by Fate.
We’ve lived together. Fought together. Risked our lives for one another.
Those men are dead to me now. The moment I can find a way to sever our Bond, I’ll do so.
My Pack thinks I’ll convince Idril to forgive them.
They’re mistaken.

If she wants to light their world on fire,
I’ll gladly hand her the match and watch it burn.

Authors Note:
CAGED was Idril’s breaking point. AWAKENED is Vae and Daxen’s. The grovel begins in Awakened but it does not end there. Idril is not the same girl who was drug into HQ. She will not roll over for Fate. She will not accept hollow apologies. The majority of the grovel will take place in Book Three. If you’re looking for an immediate reconciliation and tidy redemption arc in a AWAKENED, this is not that book. If you’re looking for two centuries-old vampire Alphas forced to confront the depths of their betrayal and an Omega with enough self respect to make them work for forgiveness that may never come… keep reading.

The fire is just starting to burn.
