In a world where being born a Beta was considered powerful, you'd have to be very unlucky to manifest as an Alpha or Omega. But the degree of being unlucky also depended on Dominance, for Recessives were a failure among the special sexes. Even so, a new secondary gender, an Alpha that can give birth, was soon discovered-Almega, manifested from the interaction between a Dominant Omega and a Recessive Alpha. Victory was finally set in stone, a threat to the populous Betas. *** DISCLAIMER: The picture used as the book cover is not mine. No copyright infringement has been purposely intended.

Kind is tangled in the sticky web of unrequited love-he saw it coming like a train in slow motion. He's the guy watching his crush fawn over someone else, get all starry-eyed over another, and eventually hand out wedding proposals like candy-but to someone else, of course. Wale has long been aware of Kind's feelings for her, and though she is Kind's closest friend of nearly a decade, steadfastly devoted and unwaveringly straight, she nonetheless desires Kind to stand as her best man as she weds her long-time fiancée. Concealing her inner turmoil behind the guise of a smile, Wale shares her vulnerabilities with Kind alone, revealing to her dearest friend what she shields from the world. And now, with futures as clear as a foggy mirror, these two stumble through life's chaotic obstacle course, hoping not to trip on any life lessons or land face-first in heartbreak. Where will fate lead them next? Only time, and maybe a good fortune, will tell! *** ◆"Things happen for a reason, though I still ponder over what that reason might be."
