Omega Scent Marks on a Salted Shore

Kaia expected to present as an Alpha, but an Omega designation destroys the future laid out for her.

When she hears her father arranging to trade her away, she leaves for a new town and builds a deliberately small life around a quiet beach café.

That concealment nearly succeeds until one Alpha comes through the door.

Lachlan’s calm protection lets her feel safe; Jonas, a quiet Beta, grasps what she needs before she can explain it; Finn, a bright Omega, disrupts her solitude with warmth, trouble, and laughter; and Adrian, a commanding Alpha, begins to blunt the sharp edges she was raised to dread.

Her past is still closing in as the bond among them deepens, and Kaia must decide if she can stop running long enough to trust a pack that wants her love rather than her ownership.
