Knot That It Matters

I thought graduating Omega Finishing School would give me clarity—so why do I feel more lost than ever?

In a few months on Omega Selection Day I’m supposed to smile pretty while the Council assigns me to a pack of royal or noble alphas to live the life everyone expects me to want. It’s what I was raised for and what my father has already planned down to the press releases.

But the moment I graduated, something inside me cracked. I don’t want any of it.

Not the manor corridors. Not the cameras waiting to dissect my every move. Not the suffocating certainty of a future chosen for me. Watching the press tear into my sister-in-law was enough to make my stomach twist. If that’s the life of a noble omega… why am I being pushed toward it like a lamb to slaughter?

So I ran. Well—escaped to Cornwall for the summer, which is the closest thing to rebellion a dutiful daughter like me can manage.

My father insisted on sending my off-limits, infuriatingly overprotective alpha bodyguard along with me. He’s an arrogant jerk. A scent-matched arrogant jerk.

But Cornwall has surprises of its own.

A sinfully handsome lifeguard and a soft-spoken baker await me in this seaside village. They’re both scent-matched alphas and neither are like the polished, political packs waiting back home.

Between being rescued from rough seas, sharing stolen moments in a darkened bakery during a storm, and feeling more seen than I ever have in my life… I’m starting to wonder if I’m meant to belong here instead of where duty dictates.

Except omegas like me don’t get to choose. Not when our families carry titles. Not when expectations weigh heavier than our own hearts. But for the first time, I’m dreaming of a future that’s mine.

Love or duty—can I really fight for one without destroying the other? I pray I’m brave enough to try.
