George hasn't had an easy life after being diagnosed with autism. Going to a public school as an autistic, highly intelligent boy, he clearly notices the differences between his classmates and himself, giving him a lot of insecurity and shame about his own behaviour. As his escape, he goes to a bakery for hours a day to calm his mind, but things change when a new boy who moved is hired. Unexpectedly, and for the first time, George decides to open himself up to the new boy, Clay, while at the same time, Clay slowly starts falling for his new best friend, George. Mostly fluff with some angst every now and then! ⚠️ I wrote this book from my own experience and my own mindset, as someone with diagnosed autism, highly intelligent and ADHD. I DON'T think people with autism are childish or cute, I'm not projecting a stereotype. This is from my own struggles with autism at a public school without special needs.

The Run- a ceremony where all of age unclaimed Omegas are required, by law, to participate. Omegas will run through a forest, usually in wolf form, as Alphas chases them, looking to claim one for a mate. If you complete the Run as an Omega by making it to the end without being claimed, you have the option to not take on a mate or to choose between a group of Elite Alphas. George is well known as the Omega who had completed the Run for two years in a row. He has not chosen a mate yet. He is who most Alphas want to claim. Dream, an Alpha, hears of George and after seeing him before the ceremony, he piques an interest for George. He was definitely running this year.
