Summary
And then Jinu realizes it. He realizes it when he sees the way Rumi’s eyes glitter with adoration as she looks up at Mira. He realizes it when he sees the way Rumi touches Zoey’s hand like every part of her is to be worshipped.
When he said his chances were non-zero, he should have known they were actually in the negatives.
Somehow, he’s okay with that.

It’s seven in the morning, and Rumi’s out for a jog on a trail. The day is bright and quiet, aside from the songs of birds and the rustle of leaves; she is never more in her element than when she exists in her own solitude.
“I know you have a crush on Mira and Zoey,” Jinu says as a greeting to Rumi, materializing out of nowhere. Her entire world comes crashing down.
She startles, nearly tripping. What? How the hell could he know that? Did she tell him when she was drunk that night? What else did she confess to? She opens her mouth to deny it, mind numb with panic, but he’s already talking again.
“And I…” he says with a flourish, hand on his chest, “have elected myself to be your wingman.”

Summary
Born into a legacy of power and corruption, Mira Kang learned early on to hide her true nature behind the mask of an Alpha. But even the strongest lies can’t protect her forever, especially after the Idol Awards.
Her bond with Zoey and Rumi becomes both her greatest strength and her deepest vulnerability as old demons — literal and otherwise — begin to resurface.
When the truth shatters everything she thought she knew, love and loyalty are tested beyond breaking. What’s left in the wreckage is something raw, dangerous, and achingly human — the kind of truth that changes souls.
