He lost his virginity to a stranger.

Now that stranger is his boss.

Seren Valez is an omega hiding behind scent blockers, working tirelessly just to survive in a world where omegas are treated like prey. One reckless night at a club changes everything, too many drinks, too much heat, and a mysterious alpha whose touch he can’t forget.

Or rather… can’t remember.

All Seren recalls is a tattoo.

A black serpent wrapped around a dagger.

And the panic that follows when his heat arrives sooner than expected.

Caelan Draxen, a ruthless billionaire alpha CEO, has never been obsessed with anyone before. But after one unforgettable night, he can’t let go of the omega who disappeared before dawn.

So when that same omega walks into his company a week later, applying for a job and looking at him like a complete stranger, Caelan makes a dangerous decision.

He hires him.

Keeps the truth hidden.

And vows to claim what’s already his.

But secrets don’t stay buried forever.

Especially when jealousy rises, rivals close in, and an omega’s identity could destroy everything he’s built.

He doesn’t remember their night.

But the alpha will make sure he never forgets again.

He didn't plan to say anything important.


That was the truth of it. He had come to the building because Seren had texted him we have a problem the previous afternoon and then gone completely silent, and Juno had spent the night running worst-case scenarios until he'd decided that action was better than waiting, and action currently looked like showing up at Draxen Global with a bag of food and an excuse to be in the lobby.


Seren, it turned out, was in a meeting.


So Juno was sitting in the lobby with a tote bag on his lap and twenty minutes to wait, which was twenty minutes more than he was comfortable with right now.
