I'm a rich omega with everything I could want. I never do anything for myself - I have people to handle that. My friends persuaded me to go for a walk in the woods, but we lost our connection and got lost. We had to run, and I suddenly fell, rolling down the wet road into the woods. I lost consciousness, sure I was going to die. My leg and head throbbed with pain. It was terribly cold and damp, with only the crackling of sticks and sound of rain surrounding me before my eyes closed.

I woke up in a hut, unable to see clearly except for the light from a stove fire. Everything was made of wood. I lay on wooden bunks covered with soft animal skins, which also covered my body. I couldn't move, especially my leg. When I tried to sit up, pain shot through my body, making me gasp and hunch over. Fear gripped me - I didn't know this place. Outside, autumn was turning toward winter, but the hut was warm.

Near the stove sat a tall man who must have heard me wake. As he stood up, my eyes widened - he was enormous, clearly an alpha. Big, strong, and powerful. What did he want from me? Why was I here?
