Everyone wants a fairytale. But what if you’re the alpha no one believes in?

I’ve spent my life dreaming of soulmates and storybook endings—of finding a pack, an omega, a place to belong. But that kind of ending? It was never meant for someone like me.

Pastel sweaters. Romance novels. Crying at weddings. No one sees the alpha inside me—not even me.

I’ve been raising my siblings since I was a teen, walking on eggshells around controlling parents who ruled with fear. They never let me grow into my instincts. And now? I’m terrified I’ll become just like them.

Then I meet Grif—a sexy, oversized forward who steals my airplane seat and completely upends my life. He’s a beta… but everything in me screams he’s mine. My omega. My match.

And Grif doesn’t come alone.

There’s Jonas—tattooed, sharp-tongued, and alpha to the bone. Dean—sweet, gentle, and a giant goalie. And AJ—the calculating businessman who sees right through me.

They don’t want a stereotype.
They want me.

But learning to become the alpha I need to be means facing everything that I was taught to fear.
And stepping into my power might mean burning everything down.
