Tate Lebedev was only thirteen when his father kicked him out of the house. Refusing to enter the foster system, he never asked for help. Instead, he survived in homeless camps for over a year, fending for himself until he was fourteen.
Everything changed when Butcher found him.
Butcher would go on to raise Tate far better than his own father ever had. But he was still a thug, and thugs rarely did anything for free.
What caught Butcher's attention was Tate himself.
At just fourteen years old, with no formal training, Tate was already defending himself against grown men trying to exploit him or steal what little he had. Most kids his age wouldn't have stood a chance, yet Tate refused to stay down.
Butcher saw more than a profitable investment. He saw raw, natural talent and a relentless will to fight. Potential too rare to leave wasting on the streets.
With the proper training, it didn't take long before Tate was ready to show the pit what he's got.

Jake shouldn't have been born an omega. He has big hands, big feet, big... well, everything. He's nothing like the sweet and dainty omegas he sometimes sees in the street, usually in the company of men who carry with them the alluring smell of alpha everywhere they go. Each time this happens, Jake has to cross the road. He's given up on the idea of ever being like those omegas. By the time he turned twenty, he realized he could never catch an alpha's eye. Now that he's twenty-eight, even the silly dreams he used to entertain as a young omega - that somehow, an alpha who'd like someone like him, who'd want him to carry his puppies, existed in the world - have faded from his mind. Until he catches a scent that makes him dizzy. During a bar brawl. From which he staggers out, bloody, adrenaline pumping in his veins. And he receives a kiss - and a bit more than he bargained for - that leaves him breathless from the man he leaped to defend during the scuffle, ending up fighting side by side with him. And then a proposition from the powerful Salazar family comes - to work for them as a bodyguard. In the Salazar mansion, he catches the same scent again, maddening him and his omega senses, despite the heat suppressants he's on. The alpha who kissed and did other things to him lives there. But who is he? Oh no, Jake realizes with dread. He's one of the Salazar brothers. The middle child. The troublemaker. The playboy. What has he gotten himself into?

*Editing this story so that i can come back and continue writing it as of 12/17/25* "Merfolk are more dangerous then sirens, in my opinion. Sirens are pretty words and smiles, and they just drown you before eating you. Merfolk aren't as kind. I once watched one jump all the way up to the ship railing, grab a man, and literally eat him alive while we had to watch and listen to his screams. By the time that mer went back into the water there was only half a man left. Blood and pieces of flesh everywhere. That was a female, what many would claim is the weaker of their species. The males are rarely seen but they say you better hope you don't see one. They say when the males come up, they're usually looking to feed or breed. If he sets his sight on you there's an eighty percent chance of you dying before your journey ends, I imagine." Laurence is about to depart on his first voyage, unaware of how it will change his life forever. Mer x Human Sailor short story. R18 Explicit.
