Destiny. Made for each other.

Except… they don’t seem that bothered.  

In fact, they don’t want her at all. They want someone else.

Sienna has no choice but to work through the Bonding Trials and try to get to know her reluctant alphas. 

She needs to pass her Trials to be able to stay with the Cohen pack, and if she doesn’t…

Well. She might be Denied.

Excerpt

I don’t know what I expected. But the devastation only grows inside me as the next alpha walks towards me, his copper hair glinting like rusted blood in the sunlight.
I expected more from Jax. And he just shattered my fragile hope like confetti. Took the last, tiny piece of my heart and crushed it beneath the shining black dress shoes he’s worn to this farce of a Bonding Ceremony.
I should have withdrawn. Soul Bonded or not.
I don’t smile as Grayson Cohen moves into position opposite me. And he doesn’t either. Rather, he nods at me, almost respectfully.
“Shall we get this over with?” he offers, his voice low.
The lump in my throat grows. Get it over with. Like I’m an imposition. Some unwanted chore on the list.
Like the most important day of our lives isn’t burning to the ground in front of us, helped along by a scarlet-haired beta bitch who’s grinning at me from her front row seat to my humiliation.
“Let’s.”
The word drops like a stone into the heavy atmosphere as I tip my head to the side, and Grayson steps into the now familiar position, the heat of his body warming mine. I didn’t realize how cold I felt, and I shake as he curls his hand around my neck.
Breathing in, I close my eyes at the warmth he’s giving off, his campfire and toasted marshmallow scent surprisingly soft for such a harsh looking alpha.
Three for three so far.
The awareness that he’s my Soul Bonded too, that moment of wonder, is swamped beneath the pain beating a vicious rhythm in my chest. It feels unbearable.
But I’ll be damned if I don’t see this through.
Instead of layering his scent, Grayson pulls me until our foreheads rest gently together. Squeezing my eyes shut, I wait for him to move.
“I’m so sorry,” he whispers. His voice shakes a little. “Truly, Sienna.”
The sob breaks out. Just one, but Grayson pulls back sharply.
“Come on,” I whisper, my eyes still shut. “Get it over with.”

AUTHOR BIO:
Evelyn Flood is addicted to books - specifically, reverse harem and omegaverse. She spends her time browsing book groups for recs and adding them to her never-ending TBR, where she promptly forgets about them and then goes back to the book groups for more recs. You'll never see her without a cup of tea and on weekends she likes to dance and drink espresso martinis. 

If you like protective, growly alphas, vulnerable omegas who aren't afraid to stand up for themselves and LOTS of knotting, nesting and naughty scenes, then settle in.
