She had arrived in Seoul with a scholarship, a suitcase, and a quiet determination to build a life that belonged entirely to her. Raquel Sinclair, known as Rocky to those who had earned her trust, had expected the city to challenge her. She had not expected it to make her question everything she thought she understood about belonging, loyalty, and the boundaries she had carefully drawn around her heart. Kwon Jae Hyun had already lived inside a carefully constructed future. His music was gaining attention, his relationship looked secure, and the people around him knew the version of him they had always trusted. He had learned how to remain composed beneath expectations, how to keep difficult emotions hidden behind discipline, and how to make uncertainty look like confidence. Then an ordinary connection had begun to feel anything but ordinary. Between university halls, crowded streets, late nights, rain-soaked sidewalks, and a city that seemed incapable of standing still, something had quietly shifted. Their connection had carried a weight neither of them had expected, forcing questions that had no convenient answers and feelings that refused to remain neatly contained. What had begun as familiarity had slowly become something more complicated. In Seoul, where appearances could speak louder than truth, and expectations could shape an entire future, three lives had existed in the space between desire and consequence. Some connections had arrived quietly. Some choices had changed everything. And some feelings had become impossible to ignore once they had finally been seen. ©️ _RelleLebby_//R.L.

Riley, a young omega trying to free himself from an abusive family, joins the military to fight criminal alphas who are enslaving his kind, but he finds much more than just his freedom: his new family. *** Riley Steele, a skilled omega soldier, is ready to do whatever it takes to get accepted into Special Operations Unit set to fight domestic terrorists: alphas who are trying to bring back times when omegas were considered broodmares and slaves. This unit hasn't accepted omegas in years, and the people standing in his way are not shy to take advantage of his determination. What choice does he have? He's safe from his abusive family if he stays in the army, but the infantry is infested with alphas who see him as nothing but a toy, so he must grow stronger to protect himself. The path forward brings him more abuse by alphas who hate to see a strong, skilled omega in the army, but it's too late to turn back now after everything he's already endured to get there. His wish finally comes true, and is allowed to join the unit with a promise his life will be hell, and the people he should be afraid of are not the terrorists... No... It's his allies he can't trust. Pushed to his breaking point, Riley joins Tactical Team 07, a team of ten alphas, fearing he's made the biggest mistake of his life. But perhaps these alphas are different. Perhaps his new captain is as kind and caring as he seems. Perhaps his new partner doesn't actually hate his guts like he pretends. And perhaps he has found his new family, his brothers, and with them, he might even learn he no longer wants to fight just to protect himself, but to protect his country and the freedom of all omegas.
