Twenty-six-year-old omega River Castellan has been invisible since a car accident three years ago left him partially paralyzed, dependent on forearm crutches and a wheelchair on bad days. His family disowned him when medical bills piled up. His fiancé left him weeks after the accident, unable to handle a "broken omega." River survives alone in a tiny Seattle apartment, working remote data entry, drowning in medical debt, with an eviction notice he can't pay.
Then Seattle General calls at 2 AM: massive pack convoy ambush, multiple casualties, desperate need for AB-negative blood—the rarest type. They'll pay five thousand dollars for one donation. River, who has nothing left to lose except his failing body, says yes immediately.
What they don't tell him: his blood is going to Kieran Frost, twin brother of Cassian Frost—the Ice King alpha who controls the Pacific Northwest territory. Kieran has been in a coma for six days, dying slowly because they can't find compatible donors.
River donates, takes the cash, and thinks that's the end of it. One good deed with his broken body.
Three days later, two suited alphas appear at his door. It's not a request—Cassian Frost demands his presence. Now.
River is brought to a private hospital wing where Cassian stands beside his brother's bed. Cassian is terrifying—six-foot-four, platinum blonde, arctic blue eyes, beautiful like a winter storm and just as dangerous. When he sees River, something cracks in his frozen exterior.
"You saved him," Cassian says, voice like frost breaking. "You saved my brother."
Before River can respond, Kieran wakes up. His eyes—the same ice-blue but warmer—lock onto River with disturbing intensity.
"You," Kieran whispers. "I dreamed about you. Heard your heartbeat. Felt you saving me." His hand reaches out, trembling. "Don't go. Please don't go."
River takes his hand. Kieran doesn't let go. Not when doctors arrive. Not when Cassian tries to explain River needs to leave. Not when River himself tries to pull away.
"He's my donor," Kieran says, feral and desperate. "He gave me life. That creates a bond. You can't take him from me."
Cassian's expression shifts—concern, understanding, something darker. But Kieran reads River with disturbing accuracy: "You're in pain right now. Your spine is screaming. You're terrified someone will notice you can barely stand. Stay. Let us take care of you."
The twins offer a deal: Stay during Kieran's recovery. They'll cover all River's medical expenses, provide world-class care for his condition, give him a home. In exchange, he keeps Kieran stable and healing.
It's temporary. A business arrangement.
River agrees because he's being evicted in two weeks and his body is failing and he's so tired of being alone.
But nothing about this is temporary.
Kieran is bonding to him—obsessively, possessively—convinced River is his savior, his anchor, his omega, even though they've never mated and River's broken body shouldn't be able to handle a bond at all.
And Cassian—cold, controlled Cassian who hasn't let anyone close in three years—starts seeing River not as his brother's obsession, but as the omega who doesn't flinch from his rage, whose pain makes him want to burn down the world, who saved the only person Cassian has left to love.
They're both falling for him. In different ways. For different reasons.
But someone is still hunting the Frost pack. The ambush that nearly killed Kieran wasn't random, and now River—the weak, crippled omega who can't run or fight—has become the perfect target. The leverage that could destroy both twins.
River has to navigate being caught between two powerful alphas who refuse to let him go, a body that's betraying him more each day, enemies who see him as the perfect weapon, and his own certainty that broken omegas like him don't get fairy tale endings.
Especially when falling in love with both twins might be the thing that gets all three of them killed.
