The Redeker family is Newark, Delaware's picture of wealth and philanthropy, so when they adopt a troubled eighteen-year-old beta named Preston, the entire town thinks they've gone nuts. Preston doesn't fit the Redeker image-and the chief of police is convinced something about him isn't right. He's not wrong. Preston isn't really a beta, and "Preston" isn't even his real name. He's an omega in witness protection, hiding from Pandora, the violent gang he once called family-and after betraying them to the feds, he's marked for death. Now, with one year left before he testifies, Preston must keep his cover intact while living under constant scrutiny. But in a town that feeds on rumors, the chief of police watching his every move-and especially with Pandora closing in day by day-staying hidden might be the one thing he can't do.

"That's not the point! The point is that I'm being married off to some unknown child and there's nothing I can do to stop it." Liam rolled his eyes and sent an exasperated look Zayn's way. "He's three years younger than you, that's hardly a child. Now, if it's the age thing that bothers you, you won't have to bond for another nine years, at least. Your parents will only start getting on your case after you become Alpha." Zayn snorted. "As if he's gonna wait that long. Lou's pretty much the definition of his perfect omega. They'll be Mated way before the Ceremony." Harry threw a hard punch to the bag, splitting it at the seams and letting the sand trickle to the floor while Liam groaned in annoyance. "You lot need to stop assuming you know everything about me. I get to choose who the perfect omega for me is, and it's not gonna be him!" [or, the one where they're definitely not perfect for each other, and the only reason they even mildly get along is for work purposes. It's all perfectly platonic and for convenience's sake, really.] Word Count: 12.7k words Estimated Readin Time: 50 minutes Rated M cause there's some mentions of sex (but no actual sex) You can also read it on AO3 at liberty_barnes
