Of Blood and Origin: The Makers Beneath the World

Elara Voss spends her days in the dust of old records, chasing questions that polite scholars don't ask. Under a kingdom already showing cracks, she finds the answer she wasn't prepared for: alphas and omegas weren't born. They were built. Engineered by a civilization that vanished and left its tools behind.

One of those tools is still alive.

Kael Thorn is the last surviving subject of those experiments. Scarred, volatile, her rut cycles running on a broken rhythm that no one fully understands. Her scent does something to Elara that biology alone can't explain, and Elara, who has always trusted her research over her instincts, doesn't know what to do with that.

They shouldn't trust each other. They do anyway.

The ruins around them breathe with old secrets, cold stone corridors humming faintly, as if something buried there is still listening. Every discovery pulls Elara and Kael deeper into what the Makers left behind. Above ground, political factions are tearing at the kingdom's foundations, and the two women are running out of time to decide what to do with what they've found.

Exposing the truth could unravel every bond, every hierarchy, every certainty their world is built on. Desire, they're learning, isn't instinct. It's a choice. So is love. So is rebellion.

They didn't ask to inherit the Makers' secrets. But someone has to decide what happens next.

Can they rewrite what they were made to be, and build something the Makers never intended?
