Gargoyle's Vessel (Prime Omegaverse #8)

She escaped six breeding centers. Now she's trapped by the one alpha she can never outrun.Eva Sterling isn't just any omega fugitive—she's the most successful escapee in breeding center history, using her wilderness survival skills to evade capture for years. But when gargoyle enforcers finally drag her to the Stone Dominion, she faces something worse than institutional Lord Darius Stoneheart, an ancient gargoyle who's killed every omega mate he's tried to claim.Eight and a half feet of living granite with wings that block out the sun, Darius doesn't just want to breed her—he needs her to survive his species' deadly hibernation cycle. His previous mates either died during the months-long stone sleep or begged to be turned into conscious statues rather than endure another winter of paralyzed breeding.Forced into hibernation with her lower body turned to stone while Darius's sleeping form breeds her continuously for months, Eva discovers her enhanced physiology can survive what broke the others. Her body adapts, craves, and betrays her with devastating pleasure even as her mind fights to stay sane.When Eva conceives during hibernation—something no other omega has survived—she becomes the key to revolutionizing Prime breeding programs across all territories. But as spring brings consciousness back to her gargoyle captor, Eva faces an impossible attempt another escape from the alpha who transformed her completely, or accept that some cages become homes when you're the only one strong enough to survive them.Now she plays power games with her captor, pretending to escape so he can catch her, finding freedom in the very chains that bind her. Because Eva learned the darkest truth of all—sometimes the only way to win is to stop fighting what you've already become.Gargoyle's Vessel is the eighth book in the scorching hot Prime Omegaverse Series!
