Knot Running by Violet Dawn

She was never meant to stay.
They were never meant to let her go.

Lola has never been the kind of Omega who waits to be saved.

So when she’s framed for a bank heist by someone she once trusted, she doesn’t waste time begging for mercy—she runs. With the law on her heels and her name stamped across warrants she didn’t earn, disappearing is her only option.
She just didn’t expect to disappear into Sweetwater Valley.

A quiet town on the edge of nowhere.
Lantern-lit streets. A Carnival in full swing.
And a community that watches her like they already know exactly who she is.

And then there are the Alphas.

Ryan—the unshakable centre of the pack who looks at her like she already belongs.
Tristan—gentle, attentive, and far too perceptive for her comfort.
Archer—guarded and suspicious, watching her like she’s an outsider he refuses to trust.
Jack—reckless, charming, and dangerously amused by her resistance.

Lola doesn’t believe in packs.
She doesn’t believe in staying.
And she definitely doesn’t believe in being claimed.

But Sweetwater Valley has its own rules.
The longer she stays, the more the town wraps around her. And beneath the glow of Carnival lights, something deeper begins to stir. A pull she refuses to name. A connection she can’t outrun.
Then her past finds her. The police arrive with questions. With accusations. With a story that doesn’t match the woman Sweetwater Valley has already decided is theirs.
Because this town doesn’t give up its own.
And the four Alphas who have been watching her from the moment she arrived?
They’re done waiting.
Now Lola has a choice:
Run again—and lose the first place that’s ever felt like home…
Or stay—and risk everything for a bond she never wanted.

In Sweetwater Valley, belonging isn’t offered.
It’s claimed.
And this time… they’re not asking.
