Claiming the Omega Scout

Priya Raghavan is the best scout Dry Valley has, and the only omega on the border. When she's caught mapping rival territory, three of their alphas decide what to do with her — and can't agree. Rush, who tracks like a shadow and bears a bond mark he never chose. Lev, who insists he's only a beta and is convincingly wrong. Ode, the healer who smells the suppressant sickness Priya has been hiding from everyone, including herself. Both packs' suppressant supply is poisoned. Priya offers a trade: maps for medicine. What she gets is a truce, a ledger, and three alphas who treat her rank as the only thing that matters. The ledger names her own alpha. Priya testifies anyway. By the river line, she takes a new name — and three bonds, on her terms.
