**18+ Content Warning: Explicit sexual content, mature situations, power dynamics, and BDSM elements** Scentless. In werewolf society, one flaw was enough to destroy everything Caroline had built. Her mate of four years deemed her defective and proposed to her cousin instead. That devastating night, she fled into anonymity at a masquerade ball, where a masked Alpha with violet eyes became her escape. Their connection was raw and consuming—hard kisses and rough touches that left her breathless. He dominated her completely, his powerful body claiming hers with an intensity she'd never experienced. For one night, she wasn't the scentless reject. She was desired, worshipped, claimed by someone who couldn't get enough of her. Consequences arrived nine months later. Three years onward, Caroline has reinvented her life in a new pack with her son as her anchor. She keeps her past buried, her secrets locked away. Working for her new Alpha, Draven, should have been straightforward—except he's ruthless, controlling, and dangerously attractive in ways that make her pulse race. His violet eyes haunt her. The very same shade her son inherited. Draven can't stop tormenting her. She refuses to submit. Neither realizes what binds them together: he's been searching for the woman who disappeared from the masquerade, his true mate who vanished without explanation. She's been hiding in his office, raising his son, desperate to keep her son's paternity secret. He has no idea his heir has been right in front of him all along.
