Summary
Park Jimin has spent his whole life being prepared for a future he never chose — the last unmated Omega of a proud bloodline, raised on obedience and called blessed for it. When he refuses his mating ceremony in front of the entire Han pack, he is not killed. Killing an Omega is spiritually dangerous. Instead, they exile him into the northern wilderness with a torn ceremonial robe and just enough food to make his death feel like his own fault.
He survives. Barely.
When hunters from the Jeon pack find him half-conscious at the edge of their territory, Jimin expects violence. What he finds unsettles him more — a people who revere Omegas rather than own them, who pray to older Gods, who touch sacred things with bare hands and let the forest itself carry their faith. It should feel like freedom. It doesn't. Because reverence, Jimin is learning, can be its own kind of cage.
Then there is Jeon Jeongguk, calm where Jimin expected cruelty, watching where Jimin expected demanding, and the elders begin whispering that the Old Gods sent one to the other.
Jimin has already refused one destiny chosen for him by people who called it divine will. He is not interested in another.
But the bond doesn't ask.
