The Crown Prince is an Omega.
If the kingdom discovers the truth, he will lose the throne.
For fourteen years, Aurelian has lived behind a secret that cannot survive exposure. His heats are hidden. His medical records are sealed. His movements are controlled by protocols designed to protect not only his life, but the crown he was born to inherit.
No one is supposed to know.
Then Caelan Veyr gets too close.
An Alpha.
A royal guard.
A man who has been sworn to protect Aurelian, not uncover the truth behind him.
But Caelan begins noticing the things no one else is allowed to question.
The locked doors.
The unexplained absences.
The strange precautions surrounding the prince.
And the dangerous pull between them.
Aurelian knows what happens if Caelan discovers the truth.
Caelan knows only that the prince is hiding something powerful enough to bring the royal household to its knees.
As their attraction deepens and suspicion closes around them, Aurelian faces a choice he has spent his entire life trying to avoid:
Protect the secret.
Or risk everything for the one man who might be impossible to keep away.
One prince.
One Alpha.
One secret that could destroy the crown.
