A cage forged in iron. A monster the world has already condemned. And an omega brave enough to step into the dark. Elena never wanted pack politics, power struggles, or alphas who ruled by fear. She built a quiet life far from dominance and bloodshed—until the night she is sent deep into the mountains to face what no one else could. A feral alpha locked away. Unspoken. Uncontrolled.
