The Lies That Bind by K.C. Wells

Mason has always known one truth: as an omega, his life is never fully his own.

So when two struggling wolf packs decide to merge, and promise Mason in marriage to secure the deal, he knows exactly what waits for him. A future owned by a man who sees omegas as property, not people.
Refusing to accept a bond he never chose, Mason makes a reckless claim—he’s already promised to his human best friend, Kip.I t’s supposed to be a lie, to buy them time. But the packs demand proof, and suddenly, Mason and Kip are forced to play the part.

What begins as a desperate deception turns into something neither of them expected. Kip becomes the steady, protective Dominant Mason never thought he’d have. Mason becomes the one thing Kip didn’t know he was missing.
For the first time, love feels safe—until Mason is attacked and left for dead.
As danger closes in and secrets refuse to stay buried. Mason’s bond is tested by blood and fear, and survival is no longer guaranteed.

And Kip?
He’s been hiding something powerful—something that could change everything between them.
If it doesn’t destroy them first.
