➤ Inside: enemies-to-lovers, captivity, hidden identity, fuck or die, mystery

An ambitious warrior. A rebel prisoner. A rut so intense, he can't give her up.

When warrior, Roclan, is finally offered the opportunity to become a general, he takes it seriously. After being rejected for advancement multiple times, he needs to prove that even though he is an alpha, he is capable of more responsibility.
All he has to do is investigate a murder and determine the punishment for the culprit being held.

But he wasn't expecting to encounter a female that would send him into a rut just by her scent. All signs point to this beautiful woman being his mate.

Unfortunately, she is also the prisoner.

Roclan quickly realizes he has to find a way to keep her alive, if only to explore his claim on her, but Nyan isn't interested in escaping her punishment.

Annoyed by her refusal to save herself, Roclan tries to uncover the mystery of her crime and peels away at her defenses until she is forced to address the deep compulsion of their need for each other.

And the secrets she seems intent to hold.

BEWARE:
 This novella-length, fantasy dark romance contains an Alpha who loves hard and refuses to let his true mate suffer a fate she doesn’t deserve. This story is set in Zoey Ellis’ Myth of Omega world, but is a standalone story with a HEA.

Read an Excerpt

“You will not speak in such a manner,” he thundered. “You will address me as General and only speak when you are spoken to!”

“I will be executed before sundown tomorrow,” she snapped back. “So I will speak as I choose during my last hours of life.”

“No execution has been arranged yet. Not until I have carried out an investigation.”

She chuckled again, and this time it stirred all manner of filthy thoughts in Roclan’s mind. “You have a corpse, and you have the culprit. There’s no further investigation to be done.” She paused. “Unless you need to prove yourself to your superiors?” Her head tilted and she snorted. “I’m afraid this case isn’t much to grow your career on, baby General. I’ve already admitted I did it.”

“Quiet!” Roclan roared, infuriated that she used the word “baby” to refer to anything about him. He tensed every muscle in his body, resisting the urge to storm over to her. Of the two of them, she was the tiny one, and she was imprisoned, but behaved as though she had power in this situation. Strangely, her taunts sparked both arousal and annoyance in him, but he forced both emotions down. “Your outrageous lack of respect has been noted,” he said sharply.

The female shook her head, her shoulders also shaking as though she laughed quietly. “You are an Alpha.”

Roclan snarled. “What the fuck is that supposed to mean?”

She leaned forward a little. “You prefer respect instead of truth.”

“The existence of one does not cancel out the other. Are you saying you are only capable of one at a time?”

From the short pause before she answered, Roclan suspected she was surprised by his response. “Some people don’t deserve both,” she said tightly.

“Criminals do not get to determine that. You will be respectful, and you will speak truthfully. Is that clear?”
The woman’s head ducked back down to knees as she mumbled, “If it weren’t, would you care?”

Roclan growled, but turned to unlock the door. “You will be summoned shortly,” he said to her. “You will have plenty of time to talk then, truth or not.”

“I won’t say more about the death than I’ve already said,” she said sharply. “I refused to be questioned multiple times.”

Roclan paused before turning back to her slowly, unable to help the deep and growly tone his voice embraced. “I believe you have been too well-treated here in Dorei, little captive.”

At that, the prisoner fell silent.

“In Lox prisons in Ashens, the conditions aren’t so pleasant, the guards aren’t so mild-mannered, and interrogations are not kind. Here, you have the luxury of being solitary, but there, prisoners find ways to sneak into the cells of others at night.”

She was silent for a long moment. “I guess… I’m lucky I am here, then,” she replied, though the confidence had fallen from her voice.

“Yes,” he growled back. “But you’re not lucky *I* am here.”

    I'm convinced that Zoey Ellis can't write a bad book. I was a little concerned that the character development or story would be short changed in this novella length story but no such thing. This was a full blown story of dark hunger with an unrelenting Alpha and an Omega who won't go down easily.

    Wow, just... wow. It’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed every single work of an author, and I’m glad to say that Zoey takes the cake. I’m such a sucker for anything crime related and had a blast reading this book!

Really loved this. Wish it was longer though. Loved how patient, considerate and attentive Roclan was with Nyan after her haze. Feeding her, bathing her... that was soooo cute. I love how Zoey incorporates diverse characters with heavily emphasising on the fact that they have different features, hair and skin tone. Really loved Nyan, another beautiful, bronze skinned heroine with shaggy hair... ABSOLUTELY swooned when I read that. And how protective she was of her adorable family!!!! Fantastic read. Continue with the Novellas Zoey... I love this world. My favorite is still the Own series though :) with Kardos and his girl. Drocco and Cailyn are a close second.

Charming! Excellent novella with a tight, fast paced plot and plenty of steam.

Roclan is sent to investigate a prisoner being charged with murder of a Lox general. The prisoner is none other than Nyan, an Omega healer, and when they meet sparks fly. I loved the push and pull that came from an Omega prisoner being 'interrogated' by an Alpha. Nyan was lovely, Zoey Ellis always writes very likable Omegas.

This novella was loads of fun, with lots of charm. I'm picky about Omegaverse novellas, but if anyone is in the mood for a quick, steamy Omegaverse read I would absolutely recommend Candescent as well as Compulsion. There's plenty of plot, the pacing is just right, and the writing is very polished. I think what makes these novellas so great is that they have the world-building of Myth of Omega behind them. A solid standalone, I think this could be read without having read any of the other Myth of Omega books. Although people will probably appreciate the world-building more if they've at least read Crave to Conquer.

This was a full blown story of dark hunger with an unrelenting Alpha and an Omega who won't go down easily. Grab this short quick read for another entry into the Omegaverse. This does work just fine as a standalone but you'll be missing out if you don't go back and get all the other books too. (I voluntarily reviewed an ARC).

I always enjoy reading about Lox warriors. I highly recommend reading the trilogies in Zoey's Omegaverse before starting with the novellas. This story revolves around Roclan and Nyan. He is sent on a special mission to prove he is worthy of being appointed general. He needs to investigate a general's murder and Nyan turns out to be involved. She is strong and feisty. I love their chemistry.

Nyan is somewhat different from previous heroines in the sense that she doesn't hold a grudge against Alphas. She is neither afraid nor wary of them. She has a greater understanding in both of their dynamics and so doesn't hold her actions / responses against him as other heroines have done in the past.

I was really excited to read the scenes with other characters we've come to know and love, and experience more about the world beyond the walls of the castles. This book wraps up the universe perfectly.

I received an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

Roclan!! My new favorite (besides Drocco of course ;))
I found this to be my new favorite besides the Myth of Omega books involving Drocco. Roclan is coming super close to unseating Drocco in my opinion. Although I love ALL of Zoey Ellis' books, I do love the Lox the most and I found Roclan's character and emotional development, despite this being a novella, to be more in-depth than other of the recent Alpha characters introduced by the author such as Kardos. Roclan is a somewhat bitter alpha because he has not yet found his Omega and believes that he's being passed over for promotion because of his attitude. He finally gets a chance to prove himself, having been given an investigation to look into, by Torin. During the course of that investigation, he meets an Omega who undoes him... but she has a fiery spirit of her own. Nyan is just as strong willed as Roclan but I'm glad there wasn't a lot of time spent with them denying their emotions for one another (beyond the primal urges that occur between them). I loved their back and forth, his wild emotions tempered by his growing sense of duty and responsibility, which shows his evolution from feeling entitled to realizing that he needs to earn the respect of his community and his Omega. And Nyan evolved as well to learning to trust Roclan despite her preconceived notions about the Lox. And the sex scenes were erotic but emotional -- it wasn't just about him being in rut and dominating her to the point that she was damaged and in pain. I truly loved this story and would love to see them appear in a story again in the future. :)

As further part of the ongoing Omegaverse series, I really liked this story just because it brought me into their day-to-day life a little bit more. The Commander, Roclan, is a decent man who has been sent to find out why a woman has killed a general who was ruling a Northern section of Emperor Drocco���������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������

This book is a standalone but I recommend you read at least the first three books from myth of Omega before reading it if you want to have the complete experience.

Roclan wants to prove he's capable of being a good general despite of his 'wild' nature, because of that, commander Torin gives him the mission of investigating the death of another general and punish the murder. Roclan is ready to do whatever he needs to be promoted but when he sees his new captive, he realizes it's not that easy.
Nyan doesn't seem to care about the punishment she might receive for killing the general, she just wants to get it over with as soon as possible but he seems to be taking his time.
People keep telling Roclan that the case is already solved, easy, he just as to execute the punishment, but the more he digs, the more he suspects there's more to the case than what everyone's letting on, also, since he found out Nyan was his true mate, he refuses to execute her. Will he find a way to save her?
A romance so juicy that you won't be able to stop reading until it's over. This book is like the other books of the saga except shorter and without cliffhangers, which is great if you like to get closure on one book and you get tired of waiting for the other books.

What can I say?? PNR aren't typically my cup of tea but this author did the impossible and hooked me on these books they're so raw, gritty, and just primal I live how each Alpha and Omegas can tell who their mate is without having to go through the normal mortal dating and hoping they go it right with the Alpha and Omegas it's just an immediate chemical reaction and the possessive nature of the Alphas wishing it was true for us mere mortals because it is beyond hot (in a non-scary abusive way) especially with Roclan my heart ached for him in Candescent when all he wanted was to find his mate and was left empty every time I just wished we got more of a glimpse of what his and Nyan's life was like after finally finding eachother I'm so hooked on this series I can't wait for the next book

ALL HAIL THE LOX!
I love meeting the warriors of the Lox and getting to vist the different territories! And I absolutely loved Roclan and his Omega and the way they met. Their story is amazing! I always have trouble writing a detailed review because I'm always worried I'll leave spoilers...but trust me, read this! I can't wait for more of the Lox...they always have been my favorite <3

I loved Roclan! He was all Alpha for sure and yet he really cared about his Omega.

Roclan dreams of being the best Lox warrior he can be so he is worthy of his Omega when he finds her. But his bids to become a General keep getting denied. When he confronts his commander he finds out why, but still gets an opportunity to prove himself. All he has to do is investigate another Generals murder. But the supposed killer is a female.

When he gets to the post of the previous General he tries to get answers but the female is hiding something. And when he decides to get closer he realizes that not only is she an Omega and but she is HIS Omega. Of course this throws them both into a heat and a rut! It isn't until after that he finally starts getting answers. But each answer just makes more questions. And still doesn't tell him what actually happened and why Nyan keeps claiming she murdered the previous General.

I liked this story it is shorter then her full length books but it is still looking enough not to feel rushed and give a great story!
