I should've known this vacation would be a disaster the second Tad suggested we visit my mom. We haven't been getting along for a while now- snapping over nothing, pretending everything's fine when it's not. And adding my mother to the mix? That was just asking for it.
My mom and I don't do heart-to-hearts. We barely do small talk. She tolerates me, and I tolerate her. Barely. So being stuck in her house with Tad, who's suddenly all about healthy snacks and gym routines and pretending to be the perfect alpha, has been... a lot.
Then I saw them.
The Locke Pack.
Caulder, Atlas, and Rowe. The boys I grew up with. The ones who knew me before everything fell apart. The ones I left without explanation. I didn't expect to see them, and I definitely didn't expect the way my whole body reacted to them.
And when things finally blew up between me and Tad, when I couldn't keep pretending anymore... all of it came rushing to the surface. Not just the fighting. Not just the guilt.
The feelings.
For them.
The worst part? I'm not sure those feelings ever really went away.
Sometimes you have to let go of the wrong alpha to find your way back to the right kind of love.
This story is a why-choose Omegaverse where the omega doesn't have to pick just one.

Round (DaouOffroad)
Is love a choice? Is it really your choice who you love? Because for them, meeting was an accident. Falling in love was inevitable. "In this life, or any of the ones that'll come, I can only love you" Daou "In any of my lives, I'm only yours" Offroad "If the world was ending I'd wanna be next to you If the party was over And our time on Earth was through I'd wanna hold you just for a while And die with a smile" Hello, everyone!.

Fated to Fail: A Dark RH Shifter Romance - Book 1 of Forsaken Fates
Four alpha wolves rejected their fated omega. They don't remember the night they shattered her. Their bond does and it won't let them stop hunting her. 🥇 #1 in Rejected · #1 in Fated · #1 in Stalking Dark reverse harem shifter romance with rejected mates · obsessive, unraveling MMCs · class divide · feral bonds · why-choose -SABLE- They didn't realize what I was to them. They rejected me without hesitation, then walked away. Protected by wealth, status, and a town that always shields its own. They don't even remember the night they shattered me. So I survived by becoming cold. I buried the girl who believed in fate and built walls no one could climb. I don't need their apologies. I don't need their hunger. I don't need men who only learned my worth after losing me. They can chase all they want. I'm already gone. -PACK ROSS- We don't remember rejecting her. But our bodies do. The bond woke up wrong. Sharp, violent, relentless. We feel her absence like starvation. Like something vital was ripped out and taken where we can't follow. She won't look at us. She won't soften. She treats us like predators, and it's driving us insane. We want to claim her. We want to fix it. We want what we're no longer sure we deserve. She says we're too late. The bond says she's still ours. One of us is lying.
Jaime
I was an Alpha, sharing the position with my twin brother. It was our first Packs Meet. Our pack, Our family, they all supported us. We had opposition from other packs. Not because we were young, not because we were brand new Alpha's. It was because of me, because I was different. You see, I had been denied my shift. *This is does have male on male intimacy as well as Mpreg and also poly amours elements. If you do not like these things this story is not for you. * Excerpt: "Alpha Brock, Alpha Jaime of the Blue River pack." we hesitated at the line on the stage then started off the other side like the others before us had done. "Wait a moment." one of the men from the dais says into a microphone. "Alpha, we would like to see you, not your wolf." he says. Brock raises his voice. "My brother has no human shape. He has a half shape if you like." is all he says. They could ask if they wanted more details. "Ah, you are the twins we were told of. Please Alpha, show us." I sighed and lifted up on my heels to shift into my other form. Belting my cloth over my front I waited as the room exploded in whispers and pointing. Yeah this was sort of what we were expecting. I didn't roll my eyes like I wanted too but waited for everyone to get a long look.Complete
Packless
In the close-knit town of Wetherby Hollow, being packless is a red flag. Omegas without protection, Alphas without structure-it's not how things are done around here. But Micah Thorn, a stubborn Omega in his mid-20s, has no choice. After their parents died in a car accident five years ago, Micah stepped in to raise their three younger siblings-two of whom haven't presented yet. Since then, they've been working two jobs, dodging social services, and trying to stay off the town council's radar. When a newly presented Alpha teenager-Jesse Hale-is dropped off like unwanted baggage by his wealthy, neglectful parents, Micah is roped into fostering him "temporarily." Jesse is quiet, damaged, and angry- but not dangerous. Just lost. Then his older brother shows up. WARNINGS Mpreg, MXM love, very graphic gay sex, Childbirth via the anus (Also very graphic), Sex scenes, self harm(Not much), mentions of grape, PTSD, Hallucinations, bad language, discrimination, threat, major character death (Only like two characters, it's fine). I'll put warnings in the chapters where these occur, so if you can skip- although you might be a little lost because these tie into the plot. My characters views or actions do not reflect my own, this is purely fiction that does reflect real life situations (Except for the mpreg, unfortunately)so i try to be mindful and respectful. I also just write about these things because I find it interesting. That is it and that is all. Enjoy #1 in #smalltown
Guardian (mxm)
Book 2 in Stray Series. I know I'm not worthy of a second chance. I've taken away so many others' second chances. I took their lives in my hands and each time chose mine over theirs. It didn't matter who they were, if they had family, how old they were. I had a job to do. If I heard even a whisper, it was over. I had to. I didn't want to, but I had to. It didn't even matter in the end. She's gone now. I'm all alone. Somehow, for some reason, a second chance was bestowed on me. But I don't want it. I can't have it. And he knows it too. -This story has depictions of violence, SA, depression, panic attacks, gore.

Soft Things Can Kill You (MFMM)
My name is Wren. I'm exhausted, under-caffeinated, emotionally unstable... and apparently mated to a god, a jealous alpha, and my teacher with arms thicker than my will to live.** I wish I was kidding. But nope. I got dumped at Hollowthorn Academy - a school for the powerful, the broken, and the chronically unwell - and now I have three dangerously hot soulmates fighting over me like I'm the last snack on Earth. And honestly? I kind of want all three. 🖤 **Ashriel** - The god in my head. No, seriously. He lives in my mind, talks in cryptic riddles, and acts like he owns my body. He's terrifying, obsessive, and somehow the only one who makes me feel safe when I'm falling apart. I think he wants to devour me. In multiple ways. 🖤 **Ryan** - The Beast. Alpha shifter. Growls when I look at other guys. Gets jealous of my cereal. Once threatened a chair for getting too close. He's chaos in a hoodie. But when he touches me, I feel like I could stop running. 🖤 **Theron** - My teacher. Yeah. That's going well. He's quiet, massive, and stares like I'm both a threat and his last meal. I know I should be scared. But I feel seen. Protected. Like he could hold all my broken pieces together... and snack on me while he's at it. Meanwhile, I'm stress-eating Honey Nut Cheerios and trying not to scream every time someone says I'm "chosen." There's something inside me. A mark. A power. A darkness. Everyone says I'm special. But I don't feel special. I feel like a haunted gremlin with abandonment issues and way too many men breathing down my neck. Still... maybe I could be more. Maybe I could fight fate, fall in love, and survive the wreckage of who I used to be. Or maybe I'll cry in the girl's bathroom and eat emergency cookies out of my bra. Either way... I'm not going down without snacks.
The reborn villainess; the end was just the beginning
My hands were stretched out to him. Expressing what my voice couldn't. I needed his help - even if it's just this once - I'd hoped he helped me. But he didn't reach out to me. Instead, I watch him turn his back at me. I watch him walk away when I needed him the most. Even after all she said, there was a part of me that hoped it wasn't true. Even if he doesn't love me - I'd thought he would at the very least liked me... maybe? I thought all the things I did for him would make him see me, tolerate me or something. But no. We kept drifting further apart. And it's all my fault. I simply did too much. I trusted the wrong person. Did the craziest things for love. Forgot my self worth. All these to earn his approval, his acknowledgment - for him to see me - none of which ever happened. And now, here I am. Lying in the pool of my own blood for someone who doesn't even care for my life or death. Oh, how I wish I could turn back time! I refuse to face my family like this. This is too shameful. For I've fallen too far from the woman I was raised to be. I dare not face my mama. Now, for the first time ever, I wish not to be seen, heard or even thought of- I wish not to be saved. I wish my soul disintegrates and scatters into nothingness . I wish to be completely erased from the universe. This story isn't edited yet. I apologize for some mistakes you might see. Your comments and advices are appreciated as this is my first book so it might be quite... Thank you
Alpha's Baby | astera22
My mum always used to tell me what it's like to see your mate for the first time. She used to say that at that moment, everything around you stopped, that nothing else mattered. And nothing else would matter. If it wasn't for the little girl clinging to my leg right now. That little girl that trusts me with her life, that beautiful little girl that made me hold on and not give up on life. That little girl, whose father is standing in front of me right now. He's my mate. The edges of his lips curve and he looks up and down as if checking me out. "Long time no see." Are the words that first come out of his mouth that break the silence. ~~~~~~~~~~ Lexie is an Alpha's daughter. She faces a hard few days and thinks a night at the club will help her get through this. A few drinks won't hurt, right? At least that's what she thinks. Yet that night will change everything sooner than she would ever imagine. When the next day, her pack gets attacked, everything is chaos. Her mother and father are killed and her world shatters. She's forced to run away and leave everyone that she still has left behind. She thinks she has no one... that's until she finds out about another heartbeat in her body. Raising a baby on your own is hard enough. After a few years she finally meets her mate though and it turns out she knows him after all. How will she confess that her mate is actually her daughter's father? What will happen now? We don't live in a fairy tale where every story has a happy ending though. Real world isn't that easy...if you can call a world full of mystical creatures very real.Complete
Basilisk
He's just an Omega. Well he was just the second child, only boy, of the last Alpha Basilisk that lived. His father insisted on him having an arranged marriage, after all a link to the last Alpha would be a powerful thing. So he's dressed up, primped, polished and put on display for a Ball. His father hopes to find someone that will understand the complexity of the political ties. He was just hoping to find someone that he didn't get completely annoyed by. But then, things never go quite as planned. Love strikes but complications ensue. How does he find his happily ever after? Excerpt: "I told you to smile." My sister says poking me in the side. "Tell you what, let me pick your husband and I'll smile all you want." I snap at her. "Dad, how many more are there?" I complain. "Hush and smile." He says smiling as the next Alpha, yet another wolf stepped up. I could understand that people wanted the best for their races but I was not just a means to an end. To my relief I noticed that the line of limos had ended. Ten more smiles to strangers and I quickly hurried toward the nearest empty sitting room. Dropping down I groan and sigh. "You aren't done yet." My sister says standing arms crossed in front of me. Ellie was a very protective big sister but at times like this when duty was the important thing, she was a pain in the butt. "I just wanted a minute to sit and relax. I've been standing there for hours." I see her take a breath and relax. "I know this isn't what you wanted, or easy on you at all but you understand why it's being done like this, don't you?" "I understand and despite how offensive it is to be given away like a puppy for adoption, I've been good haven't I?" "Yes, but you could be a little friendlier to them."Complete
