Kael is the galaxy’s most ruthless bounty hunter; cold, controlled, and undefeated. Until he captures Elian. A rare, unregistered Omega engineered for breeding, Elian was never meant to be free… and never meant to belong to Kael. But one breath of his scent shatters discipline Kael has spent a lifetime building, awakening instincts that refuse to be ignored. Trapped together in deep space, Elian’s heat spirals out of control... faster, stronger, and more dangerous than anything Kael has ever encountered. And when new orders come through, the mission changes. Deliver the Omega… already bred. Now Kael must choose: complete the job and hand Elian over to a fate worse than capture… or defy everything he was made to be and claim the one Omega who was never meant to be his. Because some instincts can’t be suppressed. And some bonds refuse to be broken. Author’s Note: This is a dark MM Omegaverse novella featuring forced proximity, possessive alpha dynamics, and heat-driven biology. Intended for mature readers.
