I need the lasting bond this pack requires before the Blood Moon, though admitting the craving terrifies me. Graham is the alpha whose sharp scent forces my response during every preparation task. The ritual forces us into proximity that neither of us can resist.
Every supply run or watch on the raised platform ends the same way. He claims me, his knot holding us locked while the deadline tightens around us both. The rival's challenge makes every night count more as our hunger escalates with each passing day. His scar swells when he knots me, binding us tighter each time.
I could step away when our hands brush on the riverbank. I never do. The fear of another devastating loss pulls at me even as I yield to the ritual.
Steamy gay contemporary omegaverse erotica featuring alpha knotting and ritual breeding heat. For readers who crave dominant alphas claiming their omegas before the Blood Moon.
