Belladonna Johnson has spent her life fighting battles no one should face alone. Growing up in Johannesburg, she cared for her ailing mother while dreaming of the day she could find a cure for the mysterious disease that stole her life. When a prestigious internship opens at St. Elysian Medical Center in Las Vegas—the world’s leading supernatural hospital—Bella leaps at the chance to prove herself, even if it means stepping into a world where humans like her rarely belong.
Elis Gray, a rare enigma and alpha of alphas, is as brilliant as he is untouchable. Born into power but burdened by its cost, Elis hides a dangerous secret: his condition is slowly killing him. St. Elysian is more than his legacy—it’s his lifeline, and he’s not about to let anyone jeopardize his chance at survival. Least of all Bella, the spirited half-omega intern whose very presence threatens his carefully constructed world.
From the moment they meet, Bella and Elis clash. She challenges his authority at every turn, and he pushes her harder than anyone else. But when a deadly, ancient illness begins to spread among the supernatural elite, their rivalry takes a back seat to a fragile partnership. Their combined talents might be the only way to find a cure, even as their growing connection sparks emotions neither can afford to feel.
As secrets unravel and passions ignite, Bella and Elis must decide what they’re willing to sacrifice—not just for the cure, but for each other. In a world where dominance rules and love is seen as weakness, will they fight for the future they want, or succumb to the forces threatening to tear them apart?
