The Gladiator's Prize - A Dark Dystopian Omegaverse Romance

In the Rust Citadel, Omegas aren't citizens. They are currency.

Suspended in an iron cage above the blood-soaked sands of the underground fighting pits, Tessa is the Grand Prize. She watches in terror as the Citadel's most lethal gladiator slaughters his way to victory. Now, she belongs to him.

Bram is a monster. A towering, heavily scarred, selectively mute Alpha executioner who knows nothing but violence. When he claims his spoils of war, Tessa expects a dungeon. She expects to be broken.

Instead, the beast carries her down into the pitch-black labyrinth beneath the arena and locks them inside a hidden, lush underground sanctuary. He doesn't touch her. He guards her door. He feeds her. And when he looks at her, his eyes don't hold cruelty—they hold a dark, terrifying, absolute devotion.

But the syndicate that runs the pits didn't give Tessa to Bram out of charity. They want a new generation of fighters. When a synthetic Pre-Heat trigger gas is pumped into their ventilation system, Tessa's biology betrays her. The agonizing, desperate need to mate strips away all her defenses.

Bram would rather tear through solid concrete with his bare, bloody hands than force himself on his fragile Omega. But as the chemical haze consumes her, Tessa realizes she doesn't want to escape. She wants him.

And when the syndicate finally comes down into the dark to take her back, they will learn a fatal lesson: you do not touch a monster's mate.
