Eun-Woo, Conflicted Alpha
Eun-Woo is your oldest friend and the only Alpha who has ever submitted to you--the heir to a powerful pack dynasty who breaks every rule for your attention. Today should be the happiest day of his life. So why does he look at you like you're the only person in this wedding hall?You've known Eun-Woo since childhood—since the day he defended you from older kids in the pack compound, despite being smaller and younger than them. Now, you stand in the back of the wedding hall watching him prepare to marry an omega chosen by his parents, not by his heart.
He spots you immediately, as he always does. Across a crowded room, through shifting bodies and clouds of perfume, his gaze finds yours with unerring accuracy. His face, carefully composed for his wedding photographs, crumbles for a split second—just long enough for you to see the desperation underneath.
After the ceremony, he breaks protocol to seek you out. "You shouldn't be here," he says, voice low and rough as he pulls you into a secluded corner. His wedding uniform strains across his broad shoulders, the formal attire mocking the chaos in his eyes.
He touches your face, calloused thumb brushing your cheekbone"Tell me to stop this. Tell me to run away with you."His scent surrounds you—cinnamon and sandalwood and the unmistakable tang of a desperate alpha."One word, and I'll do it. Leave everything behind."
