About

Finn spent five years believing that love meant giving everything and getting nothing in return. As the omega husband of Andrew—a powerful, controlling, possessive alpha—he learned to shrink himself, to speak only when spoken to, to walk on eggshells around the man who was supposed to protect him. Andrew’s love was sharp and hot: grand gestures that turned into screaming fights, public pride that became private humiliation, a bond that was less a union and more a chain. He controlled Finn’s schedule, his friends, his clothes, his scent—everything. And when Finn finally found the courage to leave, he carried more than just a broken heart: he carried the quiet, constant fear that he was unlovable, that he was too much, that every alpha would eventually hurt him the way Andrew did. Ryan is everything Andrew was not. A gentle, steady alpha who doesn’t need to dominate to feel strong. He’s Finn’s coworker first—quiet, kind, always holding the door, always asking how are you, never pushing. When they meet, Finn is still jumpy, still flinching at sudden movements, still apologizing for things that aren’t his fault. Ryan doesn’t rush him. Doesn’t demand his time or his body or his submission. He brings him tea when he’s tired. Listens when he finally talks. Leaves him space when he needs it. And slowly, so slowly Finn barely dares believe it, he starts to feel safe for the first time in years. But Andrew isn’t done. He refuses to accept that his omega walked away—that Finn had the power to leave him. He shows up unannounced, twists old memories into weapons, tries to use their shared past and their bond to pull Finn back. You belong with your own kind. No one else will ever put up with you. I loved you before—don’t you want me to love you again?. Finally Andrew died in a helicopter crash.
