A beta was never supposed to be the center of a pack.
Avery Yates knows exactly where the law places her: useful, temporary, and never officially claimed. So when one unforgettable night with powerful alpha Micah Kent reveals just how dangerous wanting him could be, she leaves before morning and tells herself it was the smart choice.
Then Dean Grant enters her life: an omega rights advocate with a brilliant mind, a guarded heart, and a body that steadies whenever Avery is near. His scent-match with Isaac Price should make everything simple. One alpha. One omega. One clean bond the corporate world can understand.
But nothing about Avery is simple.
Micah wants her recognized. Isaac sees the shape of the pack before anyone else is ready to name it.Dean refuses to let the law erase the woman who makes him feel like a person before a designation.And Avery, who has spent her life leaving before she can be left, must decide whether she is brave enough to stay.
As boardroom pressure, private betrayals, and outdated designation laws close in, four people will have to fight for a bond no one in power wants to acknowledge.
Because Avery is not a loophole.
She is the precedent.
