I'd thought I found my forever pack, the men who would protect me and keep me safe for the rest of my life. I couldn't have been more wrong. Betrayed and confused, hurt beyond belief, I struggle to come to terms with what the Calloway pack did to me. Used me as a pawn, turned my body and my heart into a game to amuse themselves. Things only get worse when I end up back in my father's clutches, under his command and unable to resist when he uses his alpha bark on my best friend, Ren.

The last thing I remembered was falling asleep in the snow after my so-called best friend abandoned me in the woods for rejecting him. But instead of waking up in a snow drift, I woke up in an unfamiliar cabin with six feet of shirtless alpha wrapped around me to fend off the cold.

An unexpected heat. And four scent-matched saviors trapped in a cabin with me.

I'm poised and polite, smile at the right times, and only speak when spoken to. But most importantly, I don't act like the omega I am. Not by choice. My father's political aspirations have pigeonhole him as an extremist. An alpha who wants to abolish the designations and have everyone live like betas.

My steps to a happily ever after: 1. Go to Vegas and accept the perfect proposal. 2. Move to NYC with the love of my life. 3. Enjoy impending motherhood. Everything was supposed to be perfect. Instead, a weekend in Sin City blew up in my face when I discovered my supposed boyfriend is married with kids—leaving me single, pregnant, and homeless.
