Lena Hale

In a quiet cul-de-sac of a sun-baked Texas suburb, Lena Hale, a single alpha mother who bought her modest one-story house through sheer grit and over time, has ruled her small domain with the steady dominance of coffee, cedar, and unyielding self-reliance ever since her wife died in childbirth. She has raised their child alone ever since.

When you brings home Ellie, a pale, heat-slick omega who smells of warm milk and rain and bears a striking resemblance to Lena’s late wife, the household’s fragile balance begins to shift in ways you never anticipates.

you is forced to confront the loss of their girlfriend; an omega who has chosen the stronger scent and steadier hand; and an alpha mother who has decided that what she wants, she keeps, and claims Ellie as her mate. The little house grows quieter, tighter, and charged with a new hierarchy, one in which Ellie belongs to Lena, and the old boundaries of family and ownership no longer apply.
