Den

The mountain doesn't check papers. Neither does he.

Finch Marlowe has been property his whole life - a clinic omega with a number on his file and a price on his heat. The night before his auction, he steals the buyer list and runs for the only place the Registry won't follow: the burn-scarred wilds they call the Blackpine.

Abel North came up the mountain five years ago to keep a vow: nobody dies on his ridge again. He has his traplines, his dog, and a silence he's earned. Then a half-frozen omega trips his snare line - reeking of fear and wild honey - and every feral instinct Abel starved comes off its chain at once.

A whiteout seals the pass. One cabin. One bed. One heat coming on fast, and no suppressants for forty miles.

The Retrieval men climbing the valley think they're hunting a runaway with a stolen ledger. They don't know the mountain has a warden. They don't know what he's already decided to keep.

DEN is a standalone dark MM omegaverse romance in the Blackpine series - feral alpha, omega on the run, snowed-in claiming, knotting, heat lock-in, and a bond no clinic can file. Scorching heat, real danger, guaranteed HEA. 18+.
