Of Claim and Choice: Power Given Freely

Alpha Elara Voss didn't ask for this region. She was appointed to it, handed a territory fracturing along old fault lines, and told to hold it together.

The traditionalists want forced bonds restored. The reformers want every bond law scrapped. Elara's trying to govern from the middle ground, and it's a lonely place to stand.

So she hires Kael Thorn. Omega, mercenary, famously unaffiliated with any pack or claim. He's the only consultant who won't arrive with an agenda she has to unpick before the real work begins. What she doesn't account for is the cedar edge of his scent cutting through a cold briefing room, or the way he looks at her orders like they're suggestions.

They're hunting a smuggling ring that trades in illegal bonds and suppressed new magic. The work pulls them into stakeouts and shared danger, close quarters where professionalism gets harder to maintain. Kael sets his own terms. Always. And Elara, who's spent her career refusing to be the kind of Alpha who takes without asking, finds that restraint more difficult than any political negotiation.

Kael's been let down enough times that trust doesn't come easily. Elara's surrounded by enemies watching her for any sign of weakness. Neither of them can afford this. Both of them feel it anyway.

Of Claim and Choice is a sapphic Omegaverse romance, steamy and politically sharp, about consent, power, and what it actually costs to choose someone freely.

Some instincts you override. Some you build something real on top of instead.
