"Move from in front a mi," I say. But it comes out softer. Weaker. More honest than I intended. I'd be on the first plane out of here tomorrow. Nothing that we've said in the past twenty minutes would matter once I am on that plane. We are tied to each other, and our pasts don't have to intertwine any more than they already have. He doesn't move. I step sideways. He mirrors me, like he's tethered to the same gravity. "Kymani-" "Selah" My name in his mouth feels like a dare. A part of me wants it to feel like a promise. I shake the thought. After what feels like a standoff written in the marrow between us, he finally exhales and steps back. Barely. But enough. I don't waste it. I slip from his hold, my heartbeat pounding in my throat, in my ears, in the soles of my feet as I bolt toward the door. I leave him there. Leave the house. Leave the heat still burning between us. And I run. Fast, desperate, the same way I did the first time I left this place. The same way I survived. I don't look back. Not at him. Not at the house. Not at the version of myself that's still trembling inside those walls. Not anymore.

It all started with a phone call when Maalik was trying to reach out to a friend in Jamaica.

For learning of Ghana and Nigeria wasn't the only thing, as she fell in love with the stranger. Even to the point of getting proposed to over the phone on the night of her birthday. Her world comes crashing down. Who was Maalik Obi? Was he and his family safe to be around?

Joni, a young homeless omega, has to steal in order to survive, but one heist gone wrong turns his friends against him, and only the mafia - and a certain kind alpha - can keep him safe. ***** An omega thief gets thrown out of his clan of criminals after he refuses to save his leader from a debt he can't pay. Joined by his best friend, these two homeless omegas are trying to stay safe in a dangerous city where the army fights ruthless criminals who hate omegas, but the best way to survive is to find any decent alphas to take care of them, even if they're not true mates. And the best place to find good alphas is the local mafia. But stepping into the mafia life comes with its own dangers, and their former clan certainly hates seeing them climbing up the lawless social ladder when they were supposed to fail as outcasts, so their hardships are far from over. At least there's a young alpha, not the prince charming our little thief thought he'd find, but he's kind of cute, and has kind eyes, so he decides to give him a chance. Maybe it doesn't always have to be about love at first sight. Maybe love can bloom where you least expect it - if you give it an opportunity to grow.

Genre: Omegaverse, Comedy, Drama, Action, Romance Language: English Synopsis: In a world where power is dictated by instinct, fate is determined at eighteen. Alphas rule, Betas serve, and Omegas endure. Strength, dominance, and submission-these are the foundations of society. Champ has spent his entire life preparing for his awakening, training relentlessly to become an Alpha. He has sculpted his body, dominated the weak, and conditioned his mind to lead. For him, the only path to survival is power, and power belongs to Alphas. He refuses to be anything less. But on the day of his classification, his world shatters. He is not an Alpha. He is not even a Beta. He is something far rarer, far more dangerous. A male Omega. A genetic anomaly feared by the world, hunted by the powerful, and erased before they can disrupt the established order. The moment his truth is exposed, his life is no longer his own. If the government discovers his existence, he will be executed. If the Alphas sense his presence, he will be claimed. But Champ refuses to accept his fate. If the world sees him as prey, he will become a predator. If they try to erase him, he will carve his name into history. If they believe a male Omega can never rule-he will prove them wrong. Because power is not given. It is taken. And Champ will rise-no matter the cost.
