All Zach wants is someone to love him.

He is now a Lotus Boy and is supposed to perform in events to attract a suitable, rich alpha wolf who will pay off Zach's debts to the Lotus Academy and Claim him. But his heart belongs to Valerian, the powerful alpha who gave him a pendant as a gift at his graduation ceremony. If only Valerian Claimed him… No dice so far, though, and the Dean has just announced to Zach that there will be a bidding for his V-card. The Academy has to make money from Zach somehow, and who cares what Zach wants?

All Valerian wants is Zach.

From the first moment he laid eyes on the pretty omega, his heart was lost. Zach is his fated Mate - Val's body and soul agree. But it's out of his hands. His alpha father decreed in his will that Valerian has to Claim a speficic omega or lose his inheritance - and without his inheritance, Valerian can't pay off Zach's debts to the Lotus Academy and Claim him. It's a no-win situation - however when he finds out that Zach's V-card is up for grabs in an auction, he has to be the one to take it.

Valerian's father dies without changing his will while Zach's belly begins to grow and it all seems hopeless. How will Valerian find the money to Claim Zach before his omega is given away?
