"You are being hunted by an ancient evil that wants to use you to break the world, and your immediate solution was to get half-mated and discover you are also fated to a terrifying psychopath. Welcome to the Omega life."
ELIAS POV
My head felt like a drum being beaten by a very confused Alpha King. I was not even physically in the Northern Kingdom anymore. After that first, terrifying imprint meeting, Alaric had confined me to a luxurious, but highly monitored, estate in the King's neutral territory. He called it "security." I called it "the world's most gilded cage." I was an Omega who had imprinted with the Alpha King, and I was stewing in a lethal cocktail of rejection, primal desire, and political anxiety.
