Beth knows two things in life: her costuming job at a theater, and ignoring her designation as an Omega. It works out for her just fine, until the day a new Alpha happens to show up at her theater. Sean is an Alpha who’s not looking for a mate; he'd rather expand his resume as a performer and enjoy his bachelorhood, gaming with his friends and hanging out at his favorite bar. When he meets Beth, though, he practically watches his plan go up in smoke.
Between Beth's troubled past and Sean's ideal future, both want freedom from their designations. Drawn together by their scents, Beth and Sean discover they’re no match for fate - and their destiny to be bonded together, both in passion, and in life...
An 18+ romance.

Mate of Mine

Beth wakes in the middle of the night, from a dead sleep, in a panic. For a moment, she’s not sure what woke her. She’s only aware of sitting bolt upright in her bed in a cold sweat, disoriented and distressed.


Then, the thing that woke her comes again: knocking on her door. Pounding, really. It confuses her so badly that she doesn’t even remember to put pants on, rolling out of the bed to reach the front door.


She presses her face against the peephole with a frown. Upon seeing who’s on the other side, her frown only deepens, and she opens the door.


“Sean?” Her voice sounds raw and tired even to her own ears. She rubs at her eyes with the heel of her hand. “What are you doing here? Are you okay?”


He smells drunk. He looks drunk, leaning against her door like maybe it’s the only thing holding him up. She wonders idly how many drinks he’s had.
