Samuel "Sammy" Albright was your typical New York teen; his mother was a famous doctor, his sister married a renowned socialite, and his brother married a Broadway actress. He was the youngest and ready to begin his carefree life. In any other world, Sammy would have been set for life; he would have been provided for and free to choose his life path, but there is a catch in this world. Werewolves and other supernatural creatures are known, they are revered, and they are, often not, the law. There is a rule in North America (Canada, The US, and Mexico) that everyone must take a test at age 18 to see if they have been paired or mated with a supernatural being. Sammy was not worried. He believed that, like his siblings, he would not be paired with a supernatural being, but unfortunately for Sammy, Fate had other plans. *Warning- this is an lgbtq book with an age difference.

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.
