There's a war in London. No one knows how it started, but those caught in the fray can either struggle or thrive due to the nation-wide influence of two formidable factions: the Crimson Syndicate and the Brotherhood of the Verita Aser. Two separate organisations, each battling for triumph over the other.

Lennox, a Verita florist, is one of many struggling. His parents' penchant for materialistic spending and egotistical power plays landed him with an impossible task: to keep their shop afloat while being the perfect pawn for their propaganda. A fateful collision with Ren Ryker--a talented, handsome gunman from the opposing faction--could prove to be an avenue for romance... or something Lennox won't live to regret.

Ren, on the other hand, should be thriving. With each successful job, he earns coveted praise from his leader and the satisfaction of bringing the slightly sadistic Crimson Syndicate closer to victory. By his standards, he should be flourishing in every sense of the word. But despite his accomplishments, a single failure loses him the Syndicate's trust, leaving Ren flailing to return to prosperity. Without funds for surgery, he's robbed of a choice, and only an ultimatum remains. He must kill Lennox and his family to stop his comfortable life from crumbling beneath him.

Riley Steele, an omega soldier, is ready to do whatever it takes to get accepted into a special unit in the army full of alphas, and the people standing in his way are not shy to take advantage of that. With no choice but to accept the abuse, Riley's wish comes true, and he is finally allowed to join Tactical Team 07 with a promise his life will always be hell, and the people he should be most afraid of are not the domestic terrorists trying to bring back the good old ages when omegas had less rights than tablespoons. No... It's his allies he needs to be afraid of. But maybe this team, TT-07, is different. Maybe these alphas don't mind fighting with an omega. Maybe they don't see him as fair game, a toy to use. Maybe his new partner, a grumpy older alpha, Reid Bishop, doesn't actually hate his guts like it first seems. Maybe he has found his family in this team. Maybe they see him as their brother, as equal. But it is certain there are people who hate to see a strong, skilled omega in their precious elite alpha army, and will do whatever it takes to ruin him and break his spirit. ***** Trigger Warnings: Violence, Blood, Death, Non-consensual sex (non-graphic) Ream subscribers will get more goodies from early access to additional chapters, plenty of smut scenes, art, and even more!

Welcome to my Shaded Universe, where domestic terrorism is a big issue; where laws and rules get bend for the greater good; where the good guys are not always good, and the bad guys aren't always bad; where men are affectionate and cuddly, and where "good boy" and "baby boy" are common phrases even between friends. || Gay || BxB || MxM || LGBT || Romance || Omegaverse ||

- A Dark and Erotic Romantic Comedy that offers second chances for fated love. In that moment of embarrassment, fear and dread, I do the unthinkable........ I jump into the black clad stranger's arms, and kiss him with all the drama of a soap opera. I'm so pent-up and freaked out trying to avoid my stalker that all the 'big' feelings I can't really express in any other way come out in the shape of me sucking Dracula's face like a starved sex demon. Yes, I meant it to be for show, but ..... I've already come this far, why not? "Renfield tricked me," I pant, pointing my shaking finger at the obnoxious blonde man, literally crying, this is all so hysterical to him. Let's just say it's not all fake when I practically swoon like the well-to-do British lady I'm impersonating. "Dracula's spell is too powerful. I can't fight it, go! Go find Van Helsing!" How did this happen? Nicky! That's right, this is all my orphan brother, Roman Nikolai Cross' fault! Ever since that tweedle twap jerk named me after the bad luck stray cat outside our orphanage, there is no end to the comedy of errors that is my life. I was hoping to avoid the so tragic it's funny or so funny it's tragic stigma with my second chance on life, but no such luck with his latest shenanigans. You'd think with my history, he'd let me keep a low profile, but no. More than anyone, I'm keenly aware that the Senate allows the Mafia to run the streets of Haven, last sanctuary for Fey or not, and there is nothing ordinary about the larger than life, billionaire titans his meddling crash lands me into!
