I accidentally soul-bonded with the undercover alpha sent to stop a dark cult—and now I feel everything he does.

I was just trying to hide my magic—again.

Instead, I sparked an ancient, forbidden bond with the new professor… who’s actually an exiled alpha prince undercover at Nightspire Academy.

Now I’m stuck sharing thoughts, emotions, and dangerously intimate dreams with the one man I can’t have.

He’s brooding, off-limits, and infuriatingly protective.

But when masked cultists hunt me through the shadows, he doesn’t hesitate. He fights like I’m his to defend. Like he feels it too.

I should be running from him.
Instead, I keep falling into his arms—again and again.

Each kiss binds us tighter.
Each secret we share brings the cult’s wrath closer.

And if we don’t break every rule by sunrise and claim the bond as true mates?

The curse will kill us both.

So I accidentally bonded with Darian who tackled me mid-escape… and now we’re fated mates.

He pins me to the ground like I’m the threat.
In his defense, I did crash into his sacred territory—while running for my life.

Then my magic explodes.
Now there’s a glowing mark on his wrist... and I’m locked in his cell.

He’s furious. I’m terrified.
And something about him makes my wolf ache in ways I don’t understand.

We’re nothing alike.
He’s an alpha protector. I’m a runaway royal omega with power I swore I’d never use again.

But when the fortress falls under attack, he breaks every rule to protect me.
When our hands touch, it’s like striking a match to a fuse.

Three things happen fast—
He kisses me. My magic answers. And the truth I’ve buried shatters everything.

Because if anyone finds out who I really am, he’ll be forced to choose:
His pack…
Or me.

And if I lose him?
The bond might break more than just my heart—it could start a war.
