Reed has always known what it means to be an omega—lesser in the eyes of many, overlooked, and often underestimated. But through years of hardship and perseverance, he's learned how to navigate his position with cunning and charm. In a world where alphas are revered and omegas are often cast aside, Reed has made his place in the shadows, using his status to his advantage.

Despite the harsh realities of his world, Reed isn't afraid. He's survived by keeping his head low, working the angles, and taking what he wants from life. He doesn't trust anyone, especially not his "plastic" alpha partner—someone who's everything Reed despises. Cold, calculating, and all too eager to control, his alpha partner wants more than just Reed's body; he wants Reed's submission, his loyalty, his heart.

But Reed isn't interested in being anyone's puppet.

He's fought too hard to carve out his independence. As tensions rise and dangerous secrets begin to surface, Reed must decide whether he can continue playing the game or if it's finally time to break free and take control of his own fate.

One thing is for sure: Reed will never be anyone's second choice. Not again. Not ever.
