The people in the omegaverse display a more canine or wolflike behavior. Some books involve shifting into wolves. This series will have minimal shifting. This story will not have shifting. Here are some terms that will be helpful to know (*note: these definitions pertain to my stories): Omega: A female or male who would often have multiple partners to help them during heats. Usually has a particular scent that alphas find very appealing and unable to resist. Beta: Like a normal human, but in the wolf world Alpha: Powerful and looked upon as the leader, and they gravitate to omegas. They also have a scent to attract omegas. Slick: Secretion from the privates Heat: A period where an omega needs to mate - akin to ovulating in human females. Knot: When an alpha mates and omega, and the base of the penis swells, locking the alpha and omega in place. Rut: Alphas can go into rut phase, similar to heat. Sometimes an omega’s heat will bring it on. Scent blockers: Can come in pills or as a cream. Blocks an omega scent from attracting alphas. Heat Suppressants: Stops an omega from going into heat Content Guide If you don't have any triggers, please skip this page to avoid spoilers!

Chapter 1 Jade D ear Director, I am writing to inform you of my decision to resign from the nurse position at Howl’s Honor Hospital. I understand this is short notice, but I have decided to take a break from nursing. I cherish all the years working here, and thank you for the opportunity. With all due respect, Jade I was terrified and excited to hand in my notice as I read over and over until the letters blurred. I clutched the piece of paper between my fingers in the breakroom, straightening the crinkled edges. “Hey, Jade, what do you have over there?” I looked up at Keera as she sat across from me at the table. She was wearing blue scrubs today, always looking extra clean and neat. She was the doctor of the team I worked in and the only reason I stuck it out for so long. But now, I hated the thought of breaking the news to her that I was leaving the company. We weren’t just co-workers. We were best friends, and that made it harder. “I don’t know how to say it,” I said, hesitantly looking down. I set the paper down on the table. “Are you going to make me wait forever?” asked Keera, her eyes twinkling. “I’m probably not going to like what you’re about to say next. Am I right?” “You’re right,” I said in an even voice. “I’m about to quit this job. I’m going to give this notice to Lucia. Please don’t be mad.” Her eyes widened, but she smiled. “I knew it. I feel sad about this, but I knew this was coming.” “What do you mean?” I asked, surprised. “You weren’t happy at your job, and I could feel it,” said Keera. “And you always talked about the next party planning adventure or interior design. What do you plan on doing, though? Did you tell your family yet?” I always took on odd gigs here or there, helping out with any party that would come up. And now I had a bigger gig helping my cousin with her wedding planning which I was stoked about. During my job as a nurse, constantly seeing pregnant omegas have babies with their alphas doting on them got tiring. I didn’t have a pack of alphas and had never been mated before. I longed for it, but it just never happened. If an alpha showed an inkling of interest in me, I’d mess up and say something clumsy. Especially at the Omega Ball every year without fail. “My mom is all about omega education and getting an honorable job,” I said. “I can’t tell them yet. Not until I’m successful with what I’m doing.” “You will be.” “Well, I’m about to go to the bitch’s office,” I said, and Keera smiled. Lucia was the alpha director of the hospital, and she was tough. I don’t think I ever saw her smile. “I’ll talk to you later.” “Text me as soon as you do it,” said Keera. I cleared my throat as I stood in front of the director’s door. This was going to be my last day working here, but putting in my notice was going to be the tough part. I worked tooth and nail to get this job. To prove to everyone that omegas could be whatever they wanted. But I wasn’t happy anymore. Sweat beaded down my back as I knocked on the
