TAINTED BLOODLINE

In a world ruled by Alpha, Omega, and Beta hierarchy, Rhett Ashborne is an unusual Alpha. He is a True Blood Alpha, but instead of being fierce and dominant, he is gentle, quiet, and emotionally worn down by years of abuse from his stepmother. Because of this, society sees him as “not Alpha enough,” and he struggles to keep a job despite having a business degree. When his situation becomes desperate, Rhett takes a low position as a maintenance and errand worker at Auralight Designs, a powerful company led by Omega CEO Aurora Vale. Aurora is the complete opposite of Rhett. She is rich, confident, feared in the business world, and emotionally closed off. Raised by a grandmother who taught her that Alphas are dangerous and controlling, Aurora deeply distrusts them. So when she finds out an Alpha has been hired in her company without her full approval, she makes it her mission to push him out. From the moment Rhett steps into Auralight, Aurora targets him with coldness, humiliation, and constant tests meant to provoke him. But Rhett doesn’t react the way she expects. He stays calm, respectful, and patient no matter how badly he is treated. Slowly, something begins to change. Aurora starts noticing that Rhett is different. His scent calms her. His presence unsettles her. And his kindness begins to break the beliefs she has held all her life. What starts as hatred turns into confusion, obsession, and emotions she cannot control. Rhett, too, finds himself drawn to Aurora despite her cruelty. Beneath her harshness, he sees pain, loneliness, and vulnerability. As their connection deepens, both struggle against instincts, fear, and prejudice. But in a world where Alphas and Omegas are expected to stay in their roles, their growing bond may become something dangerous neither of them is ready for.
