Taken by the Temple Alpha

The sacred flame chooses one omega each year.

It has never chosen a man.

Eiran has spent his life as the village outcast, shunned for being a male omega in a faith that considers him an aberration. He attends the annual Selection expecting only another painful reminder that he will never belong.

Then the flame turns toward him.

Chosen as the temple’s Blessed Vessel, Eiran is dragged before High Alpha Priest Leor and forced into an ancient rite of heat, claiming and divine transformation. Refusal could bring the wrath of the gods upon them all, but surrender means giving his body and future to the temple forever.

Leor has devoted his life to sacred law. Yet the omega chosen by the flame awakens a hunger that feels dangerously personal. As ritual becomes desire and biological surrender creates an unbreakable bond, Eiran discovers that Leor has seen him for far longer than he ever realised.

Before dawn, an outcast will become holy.

By morning, the village that rejected him will kneel at his feet.

Taken by the Temple Alpha is a dark, high-heat MM omegaverse novella featuring sacred selection, ritualised claiming, public observation, forced heat, knotting, marking, spiritual transformation, possessive devotion and a bonded HEA.
