Caged
Caged is a dark, slow-burn fantasy romance that blends the raw intensity of the Omegaverse with the sweeping magic of fantasy. It is a story of survival, betrayal, and bonds too powerful to deny.
Idril
I grew up as my father’s prisoner. My life was never mine, and now I’ve been dragged into the hands of men who hate me almost as much as they hate themselves for wanting me. To them, I’m nothing but a traitor. But to me, they might be the only chance I have to survive… if I can convince them I’m not their enemy. Now the world is changing around me, and my mother’s stories are coming back to haunt me. I don’t have the answers these men are demanding, and I don’t have the answers I’m desperate for myself. Most of all… who am I, really?
Caelan
She’s mine. I knew it the moment I saw her. The moment every instinct in me locked on and refused to let go. My pack doesn’t trust her, and I can’t explain why I do. But the bond doesn’t care about the reason, and neither do I. I’ll burn the world to keep her safe. Even if it means going to war with my brothers.
Daxen
Idril is a distraction I can’t afford. The world is tearing itself apart, and she’s in the center of every unexplained surge, every impossible answer I can’t find. I don’t trust her. I won’t. My hate sharpens every time I think of what she and her father did to my brother. When she looks at me with those haunted eyes, though, I can’t shake the feeling that the truth I’ve been hunting for all my life might be standing right in front of me.
Vaelenor
I should treat her like the threat she is. I do. But something in me refuses to watch her break. I’ve lived my whole life fighting the curse in my blood, the violence that claws at my insides. With her… everything quiets. When I look at her, my instincts refuse to see her as the traitor everyone else does— even if I keep treating her like one. I don’t know what scares me more. That I’ll destroy her… or that I won’t be able to let her go.
