There are two things in this world I know to be true: I have terrible taste in men, and all alphas are jerks. You’d think my own pack kicking me out would’ve been a clue to stay away from alphas. Omegas are rare. We’re smaller, weaker, can’t usually get pregnant...all valid reasons for disowning your own family, right? But it only took one night for stupidly handsome Troy Miyu to make me forget all the reasons I should’ve known better. One night to start falling for him, to realize it wasn’t just amazing chemistry we shared, but a true mate bond.

OWEN - I learned early on to keep my expectations low. Somehow, I keep ending up disappointed anyway. Like now: I finally have an alpha, and I bet I could take him in a fight. I’m no expert, but I don’t think that’s how that’s supposed to work. Everything seemed good at first. Or as much as it was ever going to be, auctioned off to a strange alpha so I could pop out their litter. But hey, in this time of mysteriously low birth rates, we fertile omegas are a prized commodity - emphasis on the commodity. (No, I’m not bitter. Why do you ask?)

A small-town alpha teaching third grade. An exhausted single dad omega. A little girl who unites them both. Jarrett finds himself dreaming about an omega he mated with several years ago. Were they fated mates? Maybe he's just doomed to be alone. Too bad he never knew the omega's name. Brent is an omega father to his alpha daughter, Emery. It isn’t easy, but he does his best and loves her fiercely... He remembers the night she was conceived and wishes, beyond everything else, that he had that alpha there to help out. He's about to get his wish, in a backhanded sort of way.

Tanner is a high-ranking member of the Desert Town wolf pack, one of the most stable packs on the planet. It's hard to be happy when you're at odds with yourself. A new, handsome wolf is making it even more difficult to make decisions. Can Tanner get all four paws on solid ground? Angelo is a recent import from the Pacific Northwest. After past failings, he's deeply uncertain about opening up to an unknown wolf. Yet he can't help but feel strongly attracted to him. Opening up is rough after losing so much.

JACK - My life ended when I was 16. Not literally - I’m no ghost, I just feel like one. It's a byproduct of losing your pack to a plague that skips you by like you’re not worth the effort. Chose all the good ones and you’re what was left behind. Survivor’s guilt, people call it. I just call it like I see it. I do a decent job of going through the motions. I’ve got a good reputation as an alpha, and everyone loves to joke about the only vegan alpha in North America. Some days even I’m convinced that this is it. As good as it gets. Then Dylan Kapernit walks into my shop.

Jarrett finds himself dreaming about an omega he mated with several years ago. Were they fated mates? Maybe he's just doomed to be alone. Too bad he never knew the omega's name. Brent is an omega father to his alpha daughter, Emery. It isn’t easy, but he does his best and loves her fiercely. He remembers the night she was conceived and wishes, beyond everything else, that he had that alpha there to help out. He's about to get his wish, in a backhanded sort of way.

God, I never meant to get pregnant - especially not by him. A cold, cruel, downright violent alpha? I never wanted that, but here I am broke, homeless, and expecting this psychopath's baby. It's pure dumb luck that my baby lands in the arms of a gorgeous and protective alpha doctor that seems to have an eye for me, too. Is this what I want? Do I want to fall into the safety of Connor's embrace? Or should I run while I still have the chance - before my son's father finds us?

Have you ever felt like the right guy was just around the corner, but you couldn’t quite make your feet move? Because you were scared of walking into an uncertain future? Welcome to Alpha’s Lust. Ray is a strong, smart alpha who could be the rallying point for change within his pack. Sensing this, his pack alpha sends him off to be married under numerous threats. The kicker? His pack alpha has found someone perfect for him: an omega artist with a secret.

When Alistair Hall lost his mate, he lost everything. To cope with the heartache, he’s thrown himself into supporting his pack. Finding strength in his work helps him forget, until he comes face-to-face with a complicated omega who could change his mind about everything. Matthew Norris sells fantasies - a jaded omega peddling shallow dreams at Hearts Connected. He doesn’t believe in love, but if it makes money, he can pretend. When a chance encounter puts him in the path of an irresistible alpha, Matthew begins to question his outlook on life...and on love.

I’ve spent my life preparing to be alpha and uphold our pack’s traditions. Now, I’m not sure how many of those traditions I believe in. Every day, I protect the illusion my father’s not sick and dying. Then there’s the omega pits. I never thought twice about the gladiator matches between packs’ weakest runts. Omegas who can’t survive the fights aren’t fit to bear our children. So why do I step in to save Logan, a stranger whose own pack doesn’t even want him, when he can’t last two minutes in the pits on his own?

Eight years ago, I was cast out of my family, out of my pack, out of the very land that had nurtured me since I was born. The charge? Shifting in front of a human. It might have been worth the banishment...if I’d actually done the crime. Now that my alpha is dead, I’m coming back home. I’m determined to return triumphant, to prove myself as the next bloodline alpha. Pack politics are complicated. But meeting Mike, my own sweet, eager omega? Loving him is the simplest thing I’ve ever done in my life. Too bad I can’t keep him.

Being the Cook pack alpha is harder than it appears. It’s not about ruling over anyone - it’s about leading them and keeping them safe. And I’ve got just the idea to make that happen: unite the packs of Gypsum. Anything else is going to have to come second to that goal right now. Meeting Mason at a bar shouldn’t be so distracting to my focus. We never even went home together! But when Mason is injured by human hunters, I have to choose: the security of my pack? Or the safety of the omega who haunts my dreams?

Victor is alone in this world since his pack was killed off. The scent of a fertile omega dwelling in town, unclaimed and waiting, is too much temptation. He heads in for a closer look. Caleb is a bottom-of-the-pack omega, innocent and sweet. There's no hope for a mate in his current pack - he's too much the little brother to everyone. Yet a stranger brings new possibilities.

I’m only in my 20s, but I’ve got empty nest syndrome - hard. With both of my brothers wrapped up in their own lives, I feel like I’ve been left at loose ends. And losing my job hasn’t exactly helped in the "get out and keep myself busy" department, either. A chance meeting with Henry is enough to prove how captivating an older omega can be. Getting to work with him as an assistant is enough to keep me on my toes. But finding out he’s my mate? That’s a twist I never expected. It’s clear that Henry is running from his past. I can only try to be the safe place he can land.

Paramedic Bo Everett has seen his fair share of tragic accidents. Treating a motorcycle accident is par for the course. But when he encounters the broken and injured wolf shifter, Ryker Hill, everything he's ever known changes. Alpha Ryker Hill is fighting for his life, and now he has more reason to fight like Hell. After all, he recognizes the sexy paramedic as his mate, and he isn't about to let him get away. Bo has a lot to teach Ryker - in out and of the bedroom. But Ryker's hiding something - something that just might destroy everything these two rugged men have built.

The last thing I want to be is a charity case. It’s part of why I was reluctant to come back home after I got myself blown up overseas with the Navy. But I need a place to heal - away from prying human eyes - and reconnecting with my family seems like the right thing to do. It’s reconnecting with my best friend that really throws me for a loop, though. I was head over heels with him when I left, but he never seemed to return my feelings. It doesn’t take me too long to figure out that the sparks are still there - and that he feels them, too.

A lie gone too far. Their inner wolves can’t hold back. Can a bond for life hold them together? Chasen is overjoyed to attend his brother’s wedding. And as if things can't get better, he catches scent of his fated mate just before the vows are exchanged. Better yet, he knows who it is. But isn't Tate an alpha? Tate is an omega hiding in plain sight among alphas. Hiding his omegadom with the help of anti-heat pills, he knows it’ll be a rough night when he can't find the bottle. With the moon at her peak, he knows he’s in a delicious kind of trouble.

Slater has watched his brothers find love and he's losing hope for himself. As the eldest of the three alphas, he feels like his dating pool is waning, like he's being left behind.
