I’m an omega who is a top. I’ve never felt the need to be submissive— The idea of bending myself to take it never felt right. So I stayed alone, because every alpha wanted to soften me, quiet me, turn me into someone who isn’t me, to force me to submit and turn into a bottom.
Then my father started dying, and I was bound to an enigma I didn’t ask for but couldn’t ignore. Sebastian doesn’t try to own me. He stands beside me. And somewhere between him and a masked (male) witch who sees right through every wall I built between myself and them, my life begins to unravel—and remake itself.

“Please,” he says quietly, “let me help you get through your heat.”
I meet his eyes and shake my head. “You can’t. You're an Enigma.” I say. “ And I’m a top.”

WARNING!!!!!! This book contains a huge plot twist!!!!!!!

I wanted to help him—God, I wanted to help him so badly—but I didn't know how. I didn't know where to put my hands, my words, my instincts. Everything inside me was pulling in different directions, and none of them felt safe. I wanted to help Elias. I wanted to protect him. I wanted to hold him. I wanted things I didn't have the right to want.


I looked at him standing there, swaying slightly in the doorway, and my chest tightened.


Slowly, carefully, like I was approaching something fragile that might shatter if I moved too fast, I stepped closer. "Elias," I said softly. My voice sounded strange to my own ears, too quiet, too careful. "Are you okay? Can I help you with anything?"
