I never expected to see him again, and I couldn’t dream that I’d be his mate. Mason wants to try again, but this time, it’s my turn to reject him.

How can my enemy want me when no one else ever has? Oil and water. Shifters and mages. There are certain things that just don’t mix.

As we grow closer, my resolve to stay out of his arms is slipping.

Finding your mate is for other people. Look, I’m happy for the success that my buddy’s had with his new dating app, but I think it’s all a bit of hogwash.

Everyone has that special someone - their first love. The memory of that person who brings butterflies to your stomach and a smile to your lips. My first love was Owen Moore.

I spent most of my childhood at the Moore's house, their open warmth a welcome relief from the cold reception my own parents gave me. Owen never looked twice at me then.

I knew being an omega would get me fired one day, I just never thought hiding it would be the excuse they needed. Irony, you suck. For years I was their best employee, right up until their new alpha hire smelled me in heat. I could’ve kept my job by playing his game, but I’ve spent my whole life running from my biology.
