Publisher’s Note: Reborn is a dark Omegaverse tale with explicit sexual themes and complete power exchange. Some scenes are written to be disturbing. Though situations may be interpreted as romantic, this is a story about the effect of extreme circumstances on the human psyche and the consequences of obsession—not a standard romance. If such material offends you, please do not purchase.Ver livro
