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. Trigger Warnings: Violence, Blood, Death, Implied Rape Welcome to Shaded Universe, where domestic terrorism is a big issue; where the good guys are not always good, and the bad guys aren't always bad; where men are cute and cuddly, and where "good boy" and "baby boy" are common phrases even between friends.

Adrian Reeves was a normal 25-year-old office worker with one obsession: the web novel "Chronicles of the Celestial Hero." For three years, he followed every chapter, commenting religiously, especially about his favorite character-the villain. Cassian Nyx, the Demon Lord. While other readers celebrated when the hero defeated him in the final chapter, Adrian raged. Cassian deserved better. Deserved happiness. Deserved a chance at redemption. His last comment before dying in a car accident: "If I were in this world, I'd save the villain. I'd give him the love he never received. I'd change his fate." The universe listened. Adrian wakes up inside the novel-but not as a hero. Not as a side character. He's reborn as Elian Ashford, the crown prince of the Celestial Kingdom... and the villain's destined enemy who's fated to seal Cassian away forever. Except the plot has already gone wrong. Instead of meeting Cassian during the climactic war (fifteen years from now), Adrian-now Elian-encounters the Demon Lord at age 18, during a diplomatic mission that wasn't in the original novel. And worse: the moment their eyes meet, an ancient contract activates. A soul-binding contract that marks them as fated pairs. Cassian, who in the novel never loved anyone, who became a monster because of loneliness and betrayal, is now bound to the one person who's supposed to destroy him. And he knows it. "You're supposed to seal me away," Cassian says, dark eyes gleaming with dangerous interest. "So why do you look at me like that? Like you're trying to save me instead?" Because Adrian knows the truth. Knows that Cassian becomes a villain because everyone he trusted betrayed him. Knows that the "hero" of the original story is actually manipulating events for power. Knows that Cassian's tragic fate can be changed. But changing fate means going against the novel's plot. Means choosing the villain over his own kingdom.
