Meet the Harrowdale cast
One omega. Four alphas.
Three alphas are snowed in with Willa. The fourth has been gone for nine years.
Willa
Willa is twenty-four and apprenticed to the valley’s medic. When an avalanche cuts Harrowdale off, she presents as an omega.
The alphas need her, but that doesn’t mean they get to decide what happens next.
Meet Willa
Gunnar
His words break apart unless Willa is near.
He needs her close, but he won’t treat that need as a claim on her.
Meet Gunnar
Milo
He’s charted Willa’s pulse for five years.
Now he wants the one thing he won’t prescribe himself.
Meet Milo
Ryland
He can price the valley to the ounce.
Ask him what an hour of Willa is worth and listen to his voice drop.
Meet RylandCharacter illustrations created with AI.
The valley sends word.
