Pack Darling: Part One (Pack Darling, #1)

Lilah Darling, a 23-year-old omega, has spent her life at the Omega Cultivation Center, a boarding school designed to prepare omegas for their roles in society. Believing herself to be a "dud"—someone who will never experience the typical omega awakening—Lilah has convinced everyone, including herself, that she is incapable of forming the bonds expected of her kind. Her primary goal is to remain invisible, avoiding the attention that could lead to unwanted connections and the painful experiences that often accompany them.

However, Lilah's desire for solitude is disrupted when the Wyvern Pack—comprising alphas Atlas, Hunter, Finn, Jett, and Orion—arrives at the center. They don't want an omega, but they need one, even if there'll never be a real spot for her in their pack. This unexpected intrusion forces Lilah to confront her deepest fears and desires, challenging her resolve to remain independent. As she navigates the complex dynamics of the pack and her own awakening, Lilah must decide whether to embrace her destiny or continue to fight against it.

The story unfolds in a dark, intense atmosphere, with slow-burn tension building as Lilah's interactions with the alphas evolve. Themes of betrayal, heat, and the fierce pull of fate are explored, all while Lilah strives to guard her heart from those who threaten to claim it. The narrative delves into the complexities of pack politics, personal identity, and the struggle for autonomy within a society that imposes strict roles on its members.
