Introduction
Lottie is in her second year at MIT, getting a degree in bioengineering. She’s never been distracted by anyone on campus. Not once. Not until he walked into her classroom and her world tilted.
The problem is obvious: he’s her professor, and he’s ten years older.
The problem she didn’t expect: the electric tingles that shot up her arm when their hands brushed. The sudden, aching need to be near him. To breathe him in.
The problem she never imagined: discovering he’s her fated mate.
How will she handle a truth that could upend both their lives? Will she choose the path that protects them both—or will fate force her hand?
I stand there staring at him for a moment, trying to make sense of what just happened. In the two years Jordan and I have been friends, I’ve seen his dad more times than I can count.
But this is the first time we’ve touched. And the second our hands meet, something sparks.
Charlie has been Jordan's best friend for two years. He’s been in and out of Jordan’s house so often it feels like a second home.
But it isn’t until one ordinary afternoon, two years after meeting Jordan’s dad, that everything changes. One accidental touch. One jolt of something he can’t explain.
Charlie doesn’t know what’s happening to him yet. But he’s about to find out. And when he does, he’ll have to choose: step into the truth fate has been quietly weaving around him—or try to break free from a bond that may not let go.
Chapter 1
This story is a spinoff of my book Like No Other, so if you've read that, you're familiar with these terms. If not, please read to understand these terms as they pertain to the storyline. Thank you! And while this story is a spinoff of Like No Other, this story goes more in-depth into the omegaverse. Pheromones, ruts, heats, and slick will be more talked about throughout the novel. There will be graphic depictions of sex, including of a female alpha who has male genitalia and a male omega, and male on male. If that isn't something you're interested in, it's best not to read this story.
This novel emphasizes feeling above all else. It’s about the exhausting, internal battle of wanting something every day when you know the rules say you can’t have it—until fighting it is no longer possible.
In the omegaverse, everyone is broken down into 3 secondary genders: Alpha. Omega, Beta.
Alpha - Dominant: has very strong pheromones that can overpower and subdue omegas and recessive alphas. They can also exude pheromones that sexually arouse omegas. Can impregnate omegas regardless of first gender(male, female, other), as well as beta females. Goes through a rut(a period of sexual arousal during which an alpha can impregnate someone) every month. Although dominant alphas have been known to impregnate outside of this period.
Female alphas have male genitalia to be able to impregnate omegas since they can't get pregnant.
Recessive: has pheromones that can overpower and subdue omegas, as well as sexually arouse them. Can only impregnate omegas. Goes through a rut every 2-3 months.
Omega - Dominant: has very strong pheromones that smell good to alphas. When in heat, alphas go crazy to mate with them. Has a heat period every month. Can get pregnant regardless of the first gender.
Recessive: same as above, except they go through heat every 2-3 months, and it is very rare for a recessive omega male to be able to get pregnant.
Beta - are the norms, they do not exude pheromones, nor can they sense them, have no heat/rut, female betas can be impregnated by a dominant alpha.
Pheromones - This is the scent alphas and omegas give off when they are feeling different kinds of emotions. In general, omegas smell sweet, like flowers, candy, and desserts. Alphas smell earthy, like woods, water, and nature. Those scents can sour when feeling fear or distress.
Heat/Rut - period of time where alphas and omegas are very sexually aroused, managed with either suppressants or an alpha or omega. It can last anywhere from 2 days to a week. Alphas and omegas usually isolate during this time unless they are mated. This is because the pheromones that they exude can attract any unmated alpha or omega. During this period, they are highly susceptible to impregnate and get pregnant.
Knotting - the base of the alpha's dick engorges after ejaculation, usually inside of an omega during a rut. This is done to ensure the semen does what it needs to. It can take anywhere up to an hour to deflate. It cannot be removed without injury before deflation.
Slick - slick is the liquid produced by male omegas from their hole to assist with penetration. Slick is produced when an omega is aroused.
Suppressant - medication used to lessen an alpha's or omega's sensitivity to pheromones and lessen their arousal. If taken too late, they will not work.
The hierarchy of the omegaverse is as follows: Alphas hold prominent positions of power, omegas hold caretaking and teaching positions, and betas make up the labor force, but can work any type of job.
