As children she despised me for being an Alpha. She hid from me, and when she fled, something in me died.

I became a physician—healing the broken, stitching together the ruins left by a regime that killed mercy. There was no room for longing in my work. No space for ghosts.

Then her scent finds me again—fragile, impossible, demanding. My dreams wake with a hunger I cannot deny. Has my lost mate finally returned? Or am I unraveling from wanting what I cannot have?

One truth remains: if I find her, she will not leave my side until she bears my mark—inside and out. I will claim her day and night, and break her only to rebuild her as mine.

Dark Goodbye is an interconnected standalone dark omegaverse romance of longing, reclamation, forced surrender, and an HEA forged in obsession.
